So I stumbled onto Twitter for the first time ever.

Wow. Just no.

Anyway, I was reading Toronto news and I came across an article (why 3 bytes of cyberspace was devoted to this, I do not know) about celebrity blogger, Perez Hilton, getting his face handed to him by will.i.am. Now, you can't have an article on the internet without having links (today's excuse for footnotes and bibliographing) so somehow I ended up on Perez Hilton's Twitter page and started clicking the "@links". Through my 30 seconds of super sleuthing, I've come to realize why Twitter is so popular ... it's like cyber high school for pseudo celebrities and we all get to sit in on the cat fights without worrying about the vice principal running out to the parking lot threatening suspensions for those who are watching the mess unfold.

So ... Twitter is a no go.

You know what's a good interweb fad? Digg. Check out this awesome article I got from Digg.

Not much going on today. I'm too lazyIt's too hot to walk down the street for ice cream. And the BF is probably fast asleep at home so we can't watch Jon and Kate (of Jon &Kate Plus 8) divorce eachother on scripted reality TV.

Anyway, I'm glad for this unexpected (but well deserved) turn in the weather. Pit stains in my shirt usually means one good thing: BEACH!

Sometimes, I wonder if I've already peaked at around the ages of 20-21. What a shitty feeling to contemplate. Not that I'm on the brink of depression or anything, but I've been feeling really blah about what the future holds for me. As I look forward, I feel as if I've been there, done that and life is just going to become a repeat of itself in different scenarios but not all that different because I'll have already ruminated about it in this blog and prepared myself for the mediocrity that my life is about to become.

How narcissistic I am to post my concerns and worries for all the world to see ... but really, what blog isn't? I'm pretty sure writing here saves me from becoming a desolate drifter who gave up on life to become a traveling truck stop stripper. Which would be kind of cool if you think about it. Just think of the stories you'd have to embarrass your family with.

Anyway, I just received a study grant from the Government of Canada. Which is alright in my eyes because the stupid stimulus plan seemed to only focus on auto workers and married couples who own a home and unwed mothers -- all of which I am not. It's nice to see some money getting into my grubby hands for once. It looks like I'm locked into this whole "school" business for a little while longer.

BF and I celebrated our one year anniversary today. I'm not one to celebrate milestones in relationships because it's A) tacky B) a waste of time, money and effort and C) I usually don't keep count. And we still kept it pretty mild -- spent the morning watching Friday the 13th, bought a steak and a sub and enjoyed the lunch outside. Then we napped for a good few hours. A pretty fancy affair if you ask me.

Things I hate today:
Capri pants - out of fashion, tacky and ugh.
The day after a night of drinking Caesars - every time I burp, I can feel the clam juice aerating in my stomach.
Flip cup - because any sort of binge drinking game will get you into trouble.
Playing flip cup with Caesars - just no.

So I went to a birthday gathering/party last night. It was good times because the people that went were from my high school days. The best part about it was that I got to see lovely people that I haven't seen in years. The bad part about it was that we all realized that it had been 4 years since we graduated high school. Also, we all just graduated from university or college.

I rant a lot about not knowing what's next for me, but it's nice to know that people -- a lot of whom are a hell of a lot smarter than me and have more potential -- are in the same boat.

But at least it's always nice to catch up with people to discuss job prospects, future education goals and life projects over a raucous game of flip cup.

Useless splurge of the week:



At over $300, it doesn't seem quite worth it. But I am materialistic and shallow and I have needs.

Need to look for a new job and place in Toronto. But no suck luck. Laziness is a huge factor, my meddling boyfriend is another reason. I like to have a stand on defiance, even if it's detrimental to my well being. Can you tell that I don't take too kindly to authority?

I also realized that it is time that I fix my teeth. They're not brutally crooked, but there's always room for improvement. Some may argue that I'm about 7 or 8 years too late, but I beg to differ. I can afford the Invisalign braces on my own and I don't have to deal with the social impact that braces can have on an adolescent with image issues. It's a win-win situation for all.

I began writing a blog entry that had the witty and intelligent tone that I like to convey onto my audience (Hey Bob and Vanessa) but I stopped because I went to the bathroom and suddenly lost the passion to write it. Story of my life.
