My cousins from San Francisco (sp?) came to Toronto a few days ago, on the 20th I think. Or they were supposed to. My uncle had the bright idea of having them lug an automatic vacuum cleaner that's about 3″ high and maybe 15-18″ in diameter. My cousins got stopped at the San Francisco airport and detained because they thought it was a bomb. (I don't get it, couldn't they just demonstrate the thing's sucking ability and get on the plane??) So they arrived a bit late. I didn't care, I was working.
If you've missed the story, on the 8th of December, there was a Christmas party for where I used to work, so I went because I was invited (and ditched Jess & Phil for it) and since 2 girls got into a car accident, they offered me my old job back, which I accepted, and have been working nearly full time hours since the next day.
Anyways. The 26th was a family-lunch-buffet thing. The 27th was a buffet-style dinner at grandmas. The 28th was a big dinner-party thing at a restaurant. (The 27 & 28th I had to work too!) Today the 29th was supposed to be another buffet lunch. I said hell no Im staying home, so did most other people. Theres only so much dead pig and dead duck that you can eat. I have a nifty picture of a chicken head on my digicam though.
My mom bought me 00g double-flared maple plugs for my earlobes. Why? “To hide those big ugly holes in your head” was her reasoning. Only they wouldn't fit, I ended up sanding off the flair on the side with the two T's burned into it, threw on o-rings to make the take that symbol. Only I'd put my ears through hell, they tore slightly, and when I removed my right plug, a layer of skin came with it. So I put my stainless tunnels back, and had my mom freaking out saying “ok put your hair down for dinner!” but my hair gets into my soup and my food so I got frustrated and tied it back up. My cousins ALL know I got my ears pierced (I don't know if they know the concept of how big it really is), and my tongue and when my kind of uncle (Im not sure how to describe the relationship in English) asked if my lip was real, my cousin was like “show him the tongue! The tongue!” and my mom was trying to be polite while yelling at my 27 yr old cousin by saying “don't say that! Dont tell anyone!” anyways. Im leaving for tweed on Tuesday, and not coming back to the house til Thursday (no matter where I end up, I don't care I just don't want to go home!) so that's that
Tweed. I've got a full car. I would love to invite Marty if he wants to be strapped to the sports-rack on the roof. Or maybe I could throw him in the trunk. Its a big SUV, he can fit! Just throw all my blankets and sleeping bags on top of him incase I get pulled over! Oh well, tweed promises to be fun, and though I'm worried over what may transcribe; I don't really give a f***. If I don't like it, Im going back to my hotel room and being all emo and pouty like I am most every New Year. I promise to keep sharp pointy objects at home.
One last thing. D*** peer pressure! *Shakes fist*
The last thing to the last last thing. The Tom Brazda interview is almost finished being transcribed!
