I spent the late hours of last night with Torie making fun of people and wandering around Dominion as if we were high out of our minds trying to find something that cost under $2. One of the topics on the long list of things we talked about was how she has been approached a number of times by people who know me talking about how they always hear about this Torie and they feel like it's her. Well, probably because it is her. After much thought I had decided that it was time to introduce the internet to my friendship with Torie. All I needed was a title.

I thought long and hard about what to title the entry. The title is usually the most important part; it needs to be witty and tell the reader about the entry without giving too much away. There are so many things I could talk about! I mean, it's not as if we don't share our love for Grey Goose over King of the Dancehall but that's too normal for us. And sure, I could always talk about our inside jokes about gay people, but someone might get offended and cry.

So I decided first on the rice crackers. Our love for rice crackers will shine on until the end of time when the only things left are cockroaches and Keith Richards. This love became apparent last night after we devoured what must have been $10 worth of them. From there it was just a hop, skip and a jump to random purchases under $2. Purchases that we happened to make at the same time as the rice cracker purchase. Finally, I decided to make a comment about our racial equality. After all, she is the token black chick and I am a BIG RACIST. Just ask Nancy's dad. He'll tell you how it's a good thing she's black, so I can only love her this much. Otherwise the world might implode around me because the love is just too much to handle.

I'd like to introduce you all to my friend Alex. She's probably the reason most people actually bothered to go to class and finish school. She's also probably the reason that a lot of people are friends with each other. It's ok though because people like to be cool by association and there aren't many cooler people than Alex. See, tongues are cool – and sexy.

See, we're so sexy. You can also marvel at how the shot was taken because the girl in the white was wearing a black thong and you could totally see it through her shorts.

Alex and I also like to do things like have erotic Harry Potter dreams. It's only to be expected though; we are wizards after all. When we grow up we're going to found our own school for witchcraft, wizardry, and spasming a la Snape in the Chamber of Secrets video during the duel scene.

Sometimes when Alex decides to be mortal, and feels sad I like to think she comes here to look at pictures like these and cheer up. But that doesn't happen because Alex is god-like and never feels sad. Just in case though, here's one more funny one.

Today after picking Adam up from work we found ourselves driving down Upper Middle trying to figure out what we were going to do. At some point Adam suggested a movie and I decided that's what we were going to do – probably without telling him. Steve was at home finishing up some work meaning I had a night without him, leaving me to spend Adam's money for my entertainment. We ended up driving to two movie theatres before we found a movie we were willing to watch. Cheaper by the Dozen 2 was playing later in the night leaving us with over an hour to entertain ourselves at Chapters.

After the movie Adam and I had deep discussions about the cast: who was hot, who was going to be hot and who was going to be gay. I'd give you names but it might count as libel. I made the mistake of mentioning that at one point in time I wanted a lot of kids, but that now I just see them as expensive things that suck away your life. I should know - I'm a perfect example of one. That got us into a heated argument about the possibility of future children. So I'm going to lay it on the line.

If I get manly and she's single, then Jess and I are totally going to get with the making babies.

I don't understand what the big issue with this is. Jess and I have totally been sexually sexual since before the elevator and definitely since after the elevator. Our relationship has moved to the point of comfort where we can say things like "our kids would be gorgeous" and eat Smarties off of each others tongues.

So you guys are just going to have to deal with it. Or we're not going to invite you to the birthday parties.

Very few people understand the relationship that Adam and I have. Who can blame them? We do have an extremely unique relationship. So unique that it has gotten a whole bunch of weird looks, dirty comments, and even caused a few people to dislike me to the point that it borders on a seething hatred.

Maybe it's because I can talk to Adam about anything. When I say anything, I mean it too. Not like when people say something like that in passing. There really isn't a thing that I can picture not being able to talk to Adam about, much to the heartbreak of those who yearn to have the same privilege. Adam has seen me through ups and downs, countless boys, and a large amount of experimenting with things that other people feel the need to run off to former authority figures about.

Another amazing thing is how our relationship is a testament to the fact that things don't need to get weird; even if this in turn weirds out a very large amount of people. It really means a lot to know that when someone asks "doesn't that bother you?" he replies "no, why would it?" And he's probably one of two people (if it's actually two people) who can purposely embarrass me in front of boys, and not get knifed as soon as I have a free hand. Trust when I say that there has been a very large amount of this on-purpose-embarrassment too.

It probably has a lot to do with the fact that Adam seems to have taken on the position in my life that I end up playing for so many other people. It's greatly appreciated, and incredibly lovely to be able to breakdown and whine or rant and rave to someone and know that they'll listen to all of it, and not make fun of you for it when you're done (half listening counts as listening too). It makes sense because I trust him so much. See, it's a vicious cycle. I trust Adam with my life, we bond over that, people turn in to haters, and then I went about it to Adam which in turn leads us to bond over that.

In conclusion (because I risk being extremely repetitive right now), I'd like to send much love to Adam for being so awesome. Of course that love is completely platonic, but don't worry: I'll still let you get fresh with me – especially in public. And I swear the fact that we both drool over a lot of the same boys, and dance provocatively when under the influence of alcohol has nothing to do with that. Or my name isn't Sir Elton John.

I was in the shower and I got to thinkin about how I haven't blogged in a long time. As I tried to figure out what I would blog about the most horrible thought popped into my head: Am I really that boring? While the obvious answer might be 'Yes' I realized later on that I have a number of things that I want to go off about, I just need to stop being lazy first.

In February I was reading Mel's livejournal only to see that she was extremely upset. I proceeded to post about how much I love her in an attempt to cheer her up. The other day while I was reading Josh's livejournal I came across a comment about how everyone is happy to see Josh happy. That ladies and gentlemen is what inspired this entry.

There is only one person in my mind who deserves a happy, healthy relationship more than Joshusan. If there is a person who can be more dedicated to another person, I haven't met him. Let's be honest, I may be the friendlist friggen person alive but shows may as well have invented friendly. Like frig. Genmasendeshita.

I don't even remember when I met Josh for the first time. I don't think it was at my birthday party in grade 11, because that was Trinity with a dash of Loyola. So the first time I saw him was at a movie somewhere. I was wearing a big sweater that I got for my birthday from Ashleigh. I remember, because Josh said "Yo man, who's this guy in the big sweater" or something to that effect. Not that I actually heard him. He recounted this story to me at a much later date in Nihongo class with Hanae when he was getting purikura.

Josh and Mel were nice enough to invite me to their Christmas part, and I even got to sit on Josh's lap. By the way, if anyone has pictures of that they should send them to me now. That was classic. That picture stayed in my locker all year. Josh was also the provider when it came to the ISU Mel and I did in World Religions. Shinto. 100%. Josh provided video clip, outfit for me, and voice of priest on tape which was so sketchy. I also asked where the bathroom was in class (it was the only amusing phrase in Japanese I could find).

Josh has been super friendly to me from the start. Especially after we went off to Waterloo. Dinner was almost tradition after Japanese class and he totally let me chill with his floor because I didn't want to chill with mine. He was definitely a help when mono was being a bitch and I couldn't get my homework done in time. And then there was always Time Crisis 3 and DDR to keep our minds distracted. I could continue for hours about how Josh is a great guy, but my fingers and brain can not handle any more blogging tonight. No more blogging, and no more lipton's sidekicks chicken noodle stuff.

This is an entry I was planning on writing on last Thursday but never got around to it. I'm going to call it "My Melface", simply because that's what it's about; My Melface (melishrelish). I love my Melface, and it makes me sad to how sad she is right now. I think it's funny, in a kind of twisted way. She's upset about how school isn't working out for her. On Thursday when I was walking to Health Services for yet another blood test (Or was it the tuesday before that?) I was thinking about Mel, and how I would give anything to have her drive for school. She's so dedicated to everything she does. I always felt so horrible when I worked with her.

For example, in grade 11 she put so much work into our Shinto presentation. There aren't even words to properly explain how excited she was about this. For good reason, we blew the competition away. Let me try and explain. Barone's (saradit) group was doing Buddhism. At the time Barone claimed to be practicing Buddhism. They got something like 81%, or 89%. We got 100%. Mr Campbell looked like a kid in a candy shop. We had stuff printed out on TypeWriter paper so it looked like rice paper. We were in costume. We had music. We performed our best rendition of a Shinto Rice Festival, and then after that we showed a video clip Josh(joshu_wa) made when he visited that gorgeous water shrine on his exchange. I had pictures from when I visited a forest shrine. We had sushi for everyone to eat. Literally, best presentation I've ever given. I don't think I will ever be able to top that (although the Japanese Final Project was tons of fun too). Mel and Kaitie (visualdarkness) literally are the reasons I love Japan at the level I do right now.

I had always thought Japan was cool. It was to be expected, I played video games. The summer between grade 10 and 11, at Mini U I was first introduced to Ayu. I hadn't made much of it, other than I loved her (the coordinators girlfriend, who was previously one of my councellors) was teaching in Japan, and had burned some stuff onto a CD. He played Evolution for us. I had no idea what it was, but man I loved it. I forgot to ask him what it was though, and she was out of my life for a month. I managed to remember to ask Mel and Kaitie one night when I was going to the movies. Thats when I was given the name: Ayumi Hamasaki. Well, you know how that turned out. Just wait until I can find more of her CDs. Eugene was the one who introduced me to BoA, who I also love dearly, but she's no Ayu. Ayu has a special place in my heart, and I owe it to Mel and Kaitie. That's not the only thing Mel's done for me.

Mel is the reason I play DDR. I had never played it before. It was her Christmas party that she had with her and Josh. Now just look at me. There are probably 10 or 15 songs that I can't play. Why? Simple: Mel got me hooked on it. Literally. Ashleigh and I played all the cheesy like 3 step basic songs at the christmas party. Same thing at new years. I finally managed to buy it over March Break. By that point, I was screwed. There was no turning back. I dove right into that. I had to. I needed to catch up to Josh and Barone. Boy did I catch up. That's what happens when your little asian girlyfriend gets you addicted to things.

It makes me sad that I can't help her. She was always super fun helping times. I tried my best on the CS culminating (which we all proceeded to fail anyways, because he didn't tell us he was going to throw gargage characters in. NullPointerException! NullPointerException!!), without getting us exploded for copying. I wish I had done more. Luckily Mel is a walking brain so she managed to stil lhave a higher average than me anyways, and blew all the UW people away. She got in. So now it makes me sad that she's going to leave. I think I'm going to have to do my best to help her. As soon as I stop failing my own midterms, I'm going to study her courses in my extra time so I can help her. She's worth it. I love you Melface <3.
