"Bad luck came to me without warning"


So I deleted my last post because I'm pretty sure I wrote it while I was drunk, there's been a lot of that this month.

Anyway, I had a good Christmas and the last few weeks have been nice. There's been a lot of socializing and parties and the like and I'm kind of eager for things to start slowing down (and maybe I can start to save some of my money!) I'm also convinced that I'm bad luck these days, maybe someone put a curse on me or my karma is all out of whack but here is a short account of what has happened to me in the last little while:

- I slipped and fell on a sheet of ice right in front of my house, not pretty
- I dropped my digital camera and broke it (this happened in August but I think this is where the streak of bad luck started)
- As I was waiting for the streetcar the other day a man walked by me with a big hockey bag. As he walked past me the strap on his back snapped and he fell over (it was pretty funny actually)
- When I was home for Christmas my Mum's car broke down along with their dishwasher and the roof started leaking from what's referred to as my bathroom in the house
- I dropped my laptop charger on my computer and broke the hard drive losing everything because i never backed up my shit
- I slipped and fell (on snow!) in my parents drive way almost taking down my mum and hurting myself in the process
- After deciding to move my microwave from the counter to a high cupboard over my fridge I slid my hand along the bottom of the microwave where there is a sharp sheet of stainless steel. I cut one of my fingers up pretty bad and spent a good hour calling friends and family trying to decide if I should go to the hospital and get stitches. I didn't and now I'm looking forward to a gnarly scar
- I stubbed my toe really hard on my stairs and thought I might have broken it (it really hurt!)
- After cleaning out my cat's litter box I ran upstairs to the sound of my toaster, famished I ate my tasty toasty pita and realized afterward that I had forgot to wash my hands.

That's all I got for now but my advice until this thing passes is stay away from me, unless you're buying me lunch, dinner or drinks!

dear weirdos,



I love the internet

it's a blizzard, baby

It's really scary outside right about now, it's like a snowy apocalypse. Right now I'm sitting in a housecoat and slippers and praying that I don't have to go across town to work at 5, I'm sure no one will come in for dinner tonight. That's all I got right about now, it's been a slow, snowy day.

domestic dispute

I live underneath my landlord who lives with her boyfriend and they fight all the time. He is a smoking contractor and she is a meditating, mantra chanting lady. They just woke me up with their yelling and eventually her crying and he must have stomped around in his work boots for about an hour which is why I'm up before my alarm clock. This is not the worst living situation I've been in by far but i can feel the negativity seeping through the floorboards and into where we live. I'm really starting to hate living in this house because of all this fighting which happens on a weekly basis and usually wakes me up in the morning or interrupts my evening. Good thing I signed a year lease, how do you tell your landlord that you want to move out because you've heard her sobbing one too many times?
