If I had a love in my life, I would be stronger than you could possibly imagine.

All that I want in life is a nice turtleneck.

My family is going away at the end of the month, but I have no friends to party with.

My parents are giving away all of their wine for free. Want some?

3 out of the 4 profs that I've had so far have had exotic accents, and it's really awesome. There was this African guy, who kept on making jokes about how war-torn his country is, which I'm not sure is so funny. Then there's the Chinese (yes, actually Chinese, I'm not just saying Chinese because I'm one of those people who assumes that all Asian people are Chinese) who really has no interesting characteristics.

But then there's the treasure trove: the West-German teacher. This man IS Borat. He even used the words "mother country" and leaves words out in sentences to hilarious results like: "you send me e-mail, I respond super-quick." Come on, is this happening in my life?

Alicia: I'll be having a party. My parents are away for the weekend.
Marc: Your parents are always going away on vacation.
Alicia: I know, they just like that stuff.
Marc and Alicia: ....
Marc and Alicia: ....
Marc and Alicia: ....
Marc: Are your parents the parents from "Spy Kids"?
Alicia: SHUT UP.

I'm seriously so tired of hearing people be excited about moving away. Toronto is a city. It's not going to fucking change your lives people.

It boggles the mind that this exists.

My childhood.

I'm kind of sick of pad thai.

Ajay (my brother's friend): Hey bro, we're having a party tonight. Why don't you get some of those girl friends of yours over?
Me: Yeah... (stupid fake laugh)
Ajay: I thought that brunette one was kind of cute, the red-head wasn't bad either.
Me: Becky and Cotey?
Ajay: I don't really care what their names are.

I'm not even making this up.

Why the fuck do I always just ramble instead of carefully choosing my words to express to the general public and not just Microsoft Word 2000?

I'm so fucking annoyed with everything right now. Every-fucking-thing is just a facade. Fucking wind just blowing my fucking water bottle and map off of the roof. Jesus Christ, why is there no love!!?!?!?

Honestly Andrew, WTF? This is what all men should aspire to be.

I really miss you guys right now.

Seriously. Thanks Jen. Spending time with you has rubbed off your fucking sketchbag magnetism. I was doing my laundry when the guy who lives in the apartment next to me felt it necessary to explain his divorce to his "whore wife" in exhaustive detail. All this while LOST is on. He made me miss 30 minutes of it, so of course I gave up on the episode. Thank god CTV airs the episode at 7 because of fucking American Idol so I can catch it on ABC. Yes, I know I can download it, but it's too fucking important to wait for.
