The Skinny
|
...life in small Northern towns, working for assholes, boys who refuse to become men, synthetic personalities, anorexic models and their link to emotional scarring, bad marijuana trips, crazies on BC Transit, beer, piece of shit cars, living out of a suitcase paycheck to paycheck, unrequited love, Seinfeld, minimum-wage jobs, broken New Year�s resolutions, and over-limit Visa accounts.

The Resurrection I don't know whether there's anyone left out there or not... but I've paid my dues to this damned website for a year, so best make use of it... unlike the gym membership that hasn't been utilized since, oh... September. Just another thing that I've abandoned/failed at. Yup - oh yeah... it's gonna be one of those entries. The self-pity kind. The self-loathing kind even, possibly. We'll see. I just depends on how it all unfolds... (ahh.... the suspense!!!!) For starters, it's just after 5am and I'm sitting here in our FREEZING apartment writing a blog entry. There are many things wrong with this, namely that I'm not asleep. AND it's a work day. Insomnia never strikes on a day off... funny how that works. Next, my entire body feels like it's been contorted and/or frozen and is just coming back to life; every joint aches and some just flat-out refuse to function. And I'm cold... did I mention that? brrrrrrrrrrr..... I guess I can start with the update that everyone's wondering about... THE WEDDING. Well, for the most part, it went off fairly well. I can't say "witout a hitch" because there were definitely a couple bumps along the way. Poor Damo was absolutely stressed to the max with all the catering he had on his shoulders... that's my fault - I admit it. There's no way we could have found a caterer in town that could do as good a job as D. BUT, in the end, the stress caused him to collapse into a five-day stretch of the flu, which STARTED at the reception. Actually, I woke up sick the day of the wedding as well, but thanks to a short 'kip in the avo', as the crazy aussies say (read: nap) combined with a truckload of drugs and pure adrenaline, I could have made it all night, I think. Unfortunately, poor D succumbed to it all and we had to leave the reception early once he started puking. Yeah... that sucked. Thankfully we had a beautiful hotel room in town which my wonderful sister-in-law Jess had arranged, complete with rose petals on the bed, a basket of goodies and a bottle of bubbly for us. The shitty part is that my brother-in-law and nephew somehow managed to finagle a key out of the front desk and gave our room a makeover - complete with porn pasted to the walls, condoms in the bed, and a MASSIVE inflatable doll named 'Flossie the Aussie from Down Under' oozing lotion from every possible orifice. It... was.... naaasssstyyyy. Que sera. Other than the disappointment of having to leave the reception early, the wedding was a blast. The ceremony itself was awesome; so beautiful, I just wanted to stay there all night. We opted away from the lake, which hadn't entirely frozen yet, and moved the ceremony to my brother Ryan's property... it was amazing. My family really came through for us and in the end we had a beautiful site with the rustic benches I'd wanted decked out in tree boughs and candle lanterns. It was beautiful. The gods smiled on us and granted us a clear night with stars (some even saw the northern lights!), no wind, and because we'd had a cold snap, the trees were covered in a thick frost... beautiful. Not too cold, either... only -12, I think. :) The Vows The Kiss Fireworks, Wahoo!!! Man & Wife Making it Official So that's the wedding itself. We haven't received many photos yet from people who were there, so apologize for the blurriness of some... :( My Mommy & The D Man
