I think I have a spider bite on my neck. How gross is that? Anyway, I assume it's a spider bite. I don't know what else it could be. UNLESS IT'S FROM A VAMPIRE. All the websites I read about spider bites were scary, so I had to stop. They were making me have phantom symptoms. No one tell my roommate, please, she's terrified of spiders. In other news, my neck hurts. Okay, I lied, that wasn't other news. That was the same story. Shit. The spider bite has made me retarded. | | Sunday, July 18th, 2004 | | 11:33 pm |
I like my street. I'm really surprised how much I've grown to appreciate it. My favourite time to see my street is at night, under the streetlights. They're soft here, with a blurry halo around them. I walked to the store tonight to buy a snack. A man out on his front porch says "Hello, dear, how are you?" Fine, I say. He grins and drinks his beer. "It's quittin' time, eh?" I nod in agreement, and as I walk away I can hear him start to whistle a low, aimless tune out into the dark. The man at the corner store knows me now. "Hello, sweetie, how are you?" he asks in his accented English. I'm all right, I say as I pay for my food. He notices that I have a collection of pins on my bag. He says that he'll start saving some for me, whenever he finds them. A few weeks ago he asked how many boyfriends I had, and I said none. He smiled and said what, a pretty girl like you, and no boyfriends? Then his face turned serious and he said, I know, it's like that sometimes, but you'll find someone soon. And for a minute I believed him. Walking home, I looked into people's windows as cats flicked around me, crossing streets and exchanging greetings. I saw a reproduction of a medieval painting hanging above a fireplace. I saw people playing cards, watering plants and watching tv. I heard voices floating out over the streets, some speaking English, some in other languages. The shoes are still hanging from the telephone wire on the corner at Falkland street. I try to salute them whenever I walk by. Who says that this is a bad street, a bad neighbourhood? I love my street. | | 1:07 am |
I'm unhappy and I'm tired. And it's not going to get any better, is it? I want to be brave. | | Friday, July 16th, 2004 | | 11:29 pm |
Make your exit graceful. Leave them wanting more. Never let them know what you were feeling. Let it come as a shock, not as a relief. Oh Jesus. | | Wednesday, July 14th, 2004 | | 9:27 pm |
Dodging crises left and right. | | 2:06 pm |

This little fox is eyeing the snow and thinking how nice a rest might be. | | 3:12 pm |
You don't know the half of it. None of you do. So stop looking at me like that. Like you know my mind. | | Monday, July 12th, 2004 | | 1:12 pm |
I shouldn't be here for your convenience (But I think that maybe I am) Don't you give a fuck? No, I didn't think so. But you'll keep taking advantage, Won't you? Yeah. | | 12:55 am |
Have I mentioned of late how much I hate 12-hour shifts? Especially when they run overtime and I don't get payed for it, and I only get two breaks instead of three and the person I'm sitting for is a 74-year-old man who keeps flashing me? Yeah, thanks. Fun times in the Maritimes. | | Thursday, July 8th, 2004 | | 11:11 pm |

I just wrote a great entry and now it's erased. I hate this. | | 10:40 pm |
Little pieces of me keep dying. I'm not sure where they go, but I keep thinking of that part in Romeo and Juliet: "Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night And pay no worship to the garish sun." I picture little pieces of me plastered all over the sky. But that would never make the face of heaven fine. It's funny how you end up where you are. I never thought that I'd be in this place. It's so strange to think of where I live, and whom I'm living with, and the people that I know. How do I even manage to have the friends that I do? Dumb luck, I guess. Melancholia passes by for a visit and settles in for a long stay. She finds it so comfortable here that nothing I say persuades her to leave. Or maybe I'm too accomadating of a host. She has far out-stayed her welcome. | | Saturday, July 3rd, 2004 | | 10:37 pm |
The Diamond Sea
Time takes its crazy toll And how does your mirror grow You better watch yourself when you jump into it 'Cause the mirror's gonna steal your soul I wonder how it came to be my friend That someone just like you has come again You'll never, never know how close you came Until you fall in love with the diamond rain Throw all his trash away Look out he's here to stay Your mirror's gonna crack when he breaks into it And you'll never never be the same Look into his eyes and you can see Why all the little kids are dressed in dreams I wonder how he's gonna make it back When he sees that you just know it's make-belief Blood crystalized as sand And now I hope you'll understand You reflected into his looking glass soul And now the mirror is your only friend Look into his eyes and you will see That men are not alone on the diamond sea Sail into the heart of the lonely storm And tell her that you'll love her eternally Time takes its crazy toll Mirror fallin' off the wall You better look out for the looking glass girl 'Cause she's gonna take you for a fall Look into his eyes and you shall see Why everything is quiet and nothing's free I wonder how he's gonna make her smile When love is running wild on the diamond sea If I'm Ruby, does that make me the Looking Glass Girl? | | Thursday, July 1st, 2004 | | 8:49 pm |
Just Like Anyone by Aimee Mann So maybe I wasn't that good a friend but you were one of us and I will wonder just like anyone if there was something else I could've done So maybe it's true that your cry for help was oh, so very faint but still I heard and knew something was wrong just nothing you could put your finger on and I will wonder just like anyone just like anyone | | Saturday, June 26th, 2004 | | 9:01 pm |
You know, I'd wait somehow If I thought this was something That a little time could mend | | 12:36 pm |
Cigarette pact. Cigarettes don't lie. | | Tuesday, June 22nd, 2004 | | 12:11 pm |
No sense in trying anymore. | | Monday, June 21st, 2004 | | 12:16 am |
I wish the telephone had not been invented Because I keep picking it up to say Stupid things to you The rain has stopped for now But I know it's not ended No sense in trying I cannot be protected No sense in worrying I can't be protected Wonderful and sad How can you be so? I wish that happiness could just be pretended The closest thing to that is A bottle of whiskey dear I'd write a letter home But I don't know where to send it. Wonderful and sad How can you be so? This really sums a lot of things up. |
