Super Awesome Curios #1

  Alright so I found some cool shit and I want to share it with you all, but first some background to my findings:

  I was downtown with my boyfriend and we walked into Urban Outfitters...or Urban Heritage...some Urban clothing store that also sells record players and gag gifts, anyways; we walked in and noticed a big pile of unconventional stamps. My boyfriend picked one up and showed it to me: it was probably the best stamp I'd ever seen in my life, but alas, I decided not to get it. Twenty minutes later we walked out of the store after purchasing a Nintendo 64 controller (still in its packaging), and to my surprise my boyfriend pulled out the very stamp I had been eying: he liberated it for me!

   I know what you're thinking: he got you a stamp...best boyfriend ever! Yeah I know, and it's not just any old stamp: it's a cussy wussy stamp, with swears and all that jazz! The stamp says "Fucking Fantastic" which pretty much sums up my feelings about it.

   When I'm done University I want to get into teaching English, hopefully abroad (I know the grammar in my blogs is cringe-worthy, but lay off it's free flow writing), and once I held that stamp in my hand I had a vision: Professor McCready, marking his student's assignments with a big red star surrounded by the words "Fucking Fantastic".

   I've included a picture of what that vision would look like, and I hope you enjoy it.

Silence Without Sutures

I am probably the most obnoxious person on Earth; seriously if "silence is golden" then I must be pewter metal or some shit. Proof? Well, where do I begin?

If you've read my introductory post then you know that I've got a roommate. My roommate works, and is training not only for a city-to-city bike ride, but a dragon boat race: evidently, she needs her sleep. Well there have been nights where I'll be cooking dinner after she's retired to her chambers, and I'll start singing. Not just that low, melodic muttering that people occasionally do while listening to their iPods, but full out Beyonce belting. I don't know what it is; maybe I'm just secretly passionate about pasta, and get super-enthused whenever I make spaghetti. Well passionate or not, wailing along with your tunes at two in the morning is not okay when you've got a slumbering lady in the room directly above your head.

I've got more evidence too; it may not be as dramatic or comical as that last paragraph, but it's still pretty annoying.

My boyfriend and I both had essays due, and while we were working on them (same time, different locations) I'd be texting him. I wouldn't be texting him anything useful, like information on his research topic, or even a delicious Alfredo sauce recipe. No, I was texting him useless, irrelevant, verging rhetorical shi...stuff, that could have waited until the next day. For example "my phone updated: everything is lime green." Lime green, really; how fascinating. The man had a paper due the next day; ain't nobody got time for lime green, I feel really bad for bugging him so much.

I'm sure there's more evidence of my obnoxiousness, but I'm just going to leave you with these two bite-sized chunks. I hope you enjoy them, I made them with love and two tablets of ex-lax.

Until next time,

Super Casual Introduction Fun-Time

Hey hey it's MJ,

  I know I've been gone for a year, but I've been busy with University and a new relationship so what can I say? Tough titty. Now that we've cleared that up, let's move on and get this annoying and awkward first post out of the way so we can just move on. Sound good? I think so too, so le'go.

  Okay, so interesting happenings in my life. I moved about four hours away from my home in Toronto, and I'm now attending University, which is awesome. I'm living with a purple-haired RCMP employee and her crazy cat...if a crazy lady owns multiple cats that makes her a "crazy cat lady", so would this crazy cat be a "crazy human feline"?

   I'm in a relationship which is super happy fun-time. He's really funny and a bit of a nerd or geek or...whatever, which is pretty fantastic. Because of him I've gotten back into comics and graphic novels and gaming, so if anyone out there has any game, comic, g.novel or manga recommendations, hit me up and let's talk.

    I will be attending Anime North for the first time this year with my youngest sister, who wants to cosplay as Princess Mononoke, she's pretty psyched. I'm probably going to focus on her costume and not cosplay; maybe I'll dress in 1940s fashion or something, that'd be super happy fun-time.

   I've gotten two tattoos since I first started blogging: one is a double-disc z-rod, which is a lost scottish symbol, and the other is a treble clef and base clef combined and connected with a cross, in memory of my Grandfather who passed away last year.

   I'm still writing, which is awesome. I'm working on a story which I'll probably end up rewriting; spoiler alert, there's a bird in it.

   Well that's about it, if you're still reading this then I applaud you, your amazing endurance and your willpower, and in the name of shameless self promotion I'm going to have to at least ask that you share this blog with everyone but Stalin, because he's dead and probably wouldn't enjoy it.

  Until my next post,
  L.L.L
