  • Woke up
  • Spent the late morning/early afternoon wrestling with a collating machine, losing the battle, and thus BECOMING the collating machine.
  • Escorted home due to timing difficulties.
  • Spent an hour dodging traffic to arrive in Toronto to pick up a package.
  • Picked up the first of many packages, and by package I mean Filipe, and a variety of unicycles.
  • Hung out with the Toronto Unicyclists. Got snubbed by an english yo-yo'ist when I tried to say hi. Apparntly I'm also a *cough*WANKER!*cough*
  • Attempted to do various really physically taxing relay type things like following a course and some parade formations (without being able to turn) Was always the first to give up and "sit this lap out"

  • Stole veggi nachos off of someone else's plate.
  • Heard lots of juicey gossip about people I hardly know.

  • Finally delivering the original package back home, hung out for a few minutes, and presented him with the last half of Season 1 of Spongebob Squarepants.
  • Dropped off at the apartment to drop off one unicycle, plus a handful of laundry, and to put up one new poster, and tear down 6 old ones.

I am hosting a BME yardsale, complete with “vintage” shirts from rare first runs back when I wasn't legal to get pierced (but got pierced anyways *oops!*) I'm going to set up a proper page somewhere with pictures & everything soon, but for now here's a listing of stuff I'm terrified to part from, but I know it will go to a better home. Feel free to start IM'ing me if you're interested in something, while I try and figure out what kind of price you can put on memories. *le sigh*

(Unless you want to be daring and send cash, but that's your risk not mine.)

Writing this diary entry sucked. It really really did.

You're one of the most normal people we've had in here. Not just the freaks, but even the regular people!!

Friday, February 18th, 2005

So this morning me and Filipe woke up absurdly early to head to 102.1 The Edge to watch Orbax do sideshow tricks in competition for the Biggest Freak. Now the DJ's think every Orbax fan is a unicyclist because the both of us showed up, and we both rode around the studio on the 26'er with an airseat that has no air in it. Unicycling in a thong really ain't that bad!

The show was cool though. I'd never seen the stomach pump act before. I've seen the fake fork and fake nose though. (Okay it's not fake, but it's fun to yell out that it is!) But I've never seen someone's ass on Orbax's head while his face was burried into a bunch of broken glass. I'm not sure if I missed anything because I had to leave for my 8am class, which was a total bore and I wish I stayed the whole time I was there. And I guess I've been all desensitized because everything was fasinating and cool to me, while it grossed out the DJ who looked like he needed the garbage can more then Orbax.

Yay to phone calls. I'm packing 5 people and probably like 7 unicycles into my car so we can all do maintence and then go riding tomorrow. I havn't been outdoors on my unicycle in so long. And the fact I'll be with a group of people just makes it feel safer. No one wants to mess with a pack of unicyclists.

I've never been to Yorkdale… "What?!? You've NEVER been to Yorkdale?!?!" That's what I just said!!!

Thursday, February 17th, 2005

Yes. So after tonight I can finally say that I've been to Yorkdale Mall!! GEEZ! It's a freaking mall, it's not like it's all that exciting! Bah. I mean it's cool and all, but totally not my kind of hangout. Too many uppity types & junk. I ended up out with the unicycle crew at Rainforest Cafe to celebrate a marriage, a birthday, and the uncanny ability for a guy who's in a relationship to hit on the waitress. And I now have a date for unicycle maintence, trading unicycles with Filipe, and playing “how many unicycles can fit into a car trunk?”

My computer is completely buggered as well, dunno what happened between leaving my apartment and arriving. So I'm on my roommates. Bah.

I will be awake at 5am and at EDGE 102.1, or something like that, to cheer on the great ORBAX at his super-early morning radio… what the hell is it anyways? Bah. Either way apparntly he's going up against Mysterion so we gotta cheer on Orbax!! WHOO! Yes. Which means I will crash now. Not like I have anything better to do, my computer's dead! “cry” “cry”…*ahem* i mean *sobsob*

Dear god, if a dog barks his head off in the woods and no human's around to hear it, is he still a bad dog?

Tuesday, February 15th, 2005

I wish my apartment windows faced east. They face west. Why do I wish that today? It's barely 8amEST, but I've been up for the past nearly 4 hours. I missed the sunrise because I face the wrong direction. I didn't plan on watching the sunrise, and I didn't. Instead I just watched the city get lighter and lighter until it's at it's full volume overcast day. I woke up after crashing out probably 10pm last night. Woke up at 4:20 or so am with a dream fresh in my head. Started typing in an attempt to get it out of my head to fall back asleep. Half an hour later I was finishing typing out my dream(s), and wide awake enough to get a quick breakfast in. No more sleep at this moment, maybe later before class. Maybe just during class. It's kind of nice being awake this early though. It's quiet. Except for the fact that between 4 and 5am, there was three different ambulances that drove by at three different times, as well as two cop cars. Then the recycling just got taken out. Maybe it's not that quiet.

Edit: At approximately 9am, I crashed out and fell asleep until recently, at around 10am. There goes THAT idea.
