somebody ate all the ice cream.

when i listen to music i don't like knowing what the band looks like. for example, while listening to The Smiths, i made up my own image of Morrissey's appearance in my head that i based on his music/voice. i don't know why i do this, i know i need therapy. but yeah when i saw his picture i remember hating his hair a lot and unfortunately that kind of ruined it for me a little. i wish i never looked at that stupid picture.

the best part about Christmas. if you're too poor to afford a real fireplace, you can turn to channel 4 and pretend you have one by watching Holiday Log, proudly presented to you by Shaw Cable. those bastards. after taking this photo, i started watching something else but after a few minutes i turned back to channel 4...



and!!!!! there's a new log on! suddenly i realised the meaning of life. i tried to keep watching for as long as i could to see the person change the log. my sister, Curtis, and I sat at first flipping between this and A Christmas Story, but then we decided to just screw A Christmas Story because we didn't want to miss the hand. no offense to any fans of the movie, sure it's a classic but Holiday Log is only on for a short few days every year. you have to understand that this is the only chance i have to pretend i own a fireplace. plus i'm pretty sure we have a copy of A Christmas Story lying around somewhere. so anyway, FINALLY the moment we were all waiting for came. after almost 15 minutes of staring at a lump of wood burning, a fat, heavily jewelled hand came into the picture with a new log. i have to admit it was kind of disappointing. i was expecting it to be spectacular. but now we can die in peace. unfortunately, at this time i didn't have the camera with me so i wasn't able to take a picture. just take my word for it. i saw the hand. maybe next year i'll have proof.

confessions:

- i still use my walkman. but i use my discman more. i don't even have an mp3 player, ipod, or whatever the new trend is now. i don't care. even the word ipod bothers me. if i did get one i'd probably drop it in a puddle or i would kill it just by looking at it and emitting my magical electronic appliance breaking rays.
- i watched the movie The Cell and i didn't hate it. this really surprised me. i also can't beleive i didn't change the channel when i saw that 'j.lo' was in it. i foresee another night sleeping in tinfoil because it was kind of scary.
- are you afraid of the dark is on tonight but i'm hesitant to stay up that late because i have school tomorrow.
- in middle school we had to dissect sheeps eyes and i was all like 'i'm hArDkOrE, i can take it' but then when the teacher dropped the eye in the tray in front of me i took one look at it and RAN out the door. a few weeks before that we did a sheeps heart or cows heart or something, which wasn't so bad because it was just a big brown blob. but it smelled vaguely like mcdonalds. i backed into the nearest corner and watched from afar while people were sticking their disgusting fingers in disgusting places and they probably didn't even wash their hands after. savages.

my life is worth living again

because the Family Channel plays reruns of Are You Afraid of the Dark! all day they play utter crap like that Hilary Duff show and at night when all the normal people are asleep they play classic low budget Canadian tv from the 90's. anyone who doesn't like this show is an idiot. my one objection is the title, jesus it takes forever to type out. i remember back in grade 2 at lunch we used to have big discussions about this show and one time there was a fight, me and this stupid asian kid against the whole rest of the class about which show was scarier, Are You Afraid of the Dark or Goosebumps. of course i was fighting for Are You Afraid of the Dark. me and the stupid asian kid's argument was that it was scarier than Goosebumps because mostly in Goosebumps you could tell that the 'monster' was just a guy in a suit, but Are You Afraid of the Dark left it more to your imagination. i still get scared thinking about some episodes. like this one where a girl buys these magic glasses from Mr. Sardo's shop and when she puts them on she sees these guys in black suits walking towards her. it sounds stupid but beleive me it was scary. and also at the end for once, they let the main characters die (okay they got stuck in another dimension, but really what's the difference) instead of pussying out with a dumb happy ending. dammit, i wish they had a dvd out of this show. maybe this is the reason why i have no friends.
