omg it's Symptom Tech's birthday
- by admin
it's XVI old which means sixteen, which is the age I was when I went to one of their first parties which is kinda cray to think about.
it was called 20,000 Watts Under the Sea and my dear friend and onetime fake husband on the Internet alex-lee convinced me and my friend Dyan that it'd be a good idea to lie to our parents about where we were going and go to (dum dum dum) a rave.
if you haven't been to a rave don't bother because the crap they call 'raves' today isn't the kind of rave I went to that night and from what my elders from 'the scene' tell me this was on the tail-end of when raves were good, and believe me this one was good. so good that the giant fight I had with my parents when I came home the next day was totally worth it.
I was a changed almost-woman.
since then I've gone to my fair share of 'raves' and have watched the legitimacy of those massive parties slip away into the more sophisticated club shows that you can occasionally see my face out at, and are sometimes thrown by the kids at Symptomtech who, like me, aren't kids anymore.
now we're old and jaded and talk about the 'good old days when parties were still good'.
even though they're still good, sometimes. usually when the people I know are throwing them which is the case here but nevertheless.
that party changed things for me.
as a result of that one experience I met most of the people I'm friends with now, tyrone who I've been dating for nearly three years, a trip to montreal, multiple music festivals in other provinces, and my role in MEME.
all because Symptom Tech threw a party. and alex-lee took me to it.
thanks kids, and happy anniversary!

but don't turn into snow instead!oh damn.
as my entire twitter/facebook feeds will tell you, the weather wasn't so hot in my hometown today.
they don't call us 'winterpeg' for nothing, right?
luckily I have these new babies to keep me warm while I truck around outside in the chilly weather.
stay warm my sweets! it's not nice out there.
fun fact: I hate ice cream trucks
- by admin
even when they play some mad beats.
when I moved to the hammer it was the beginning of summer and because I was looking for a job at the time I was home a lot of afternoons and the building I lived in with my then-bf was shaped like a U, with the parking lot for the building in the middle, and our apartment faced the inside of this parking lot, three stories up.
which wasn't so bad most of the time, generally neighbours were quiet and we didn't have to hear the street sounds from outside, and it was kinda nice to get the lights from the parking lot that came in through the blinds in the middle of the night so you never stubbed yr toe in the dark on the way to the bathroom.
what really sucked though was in the middle of the day mon-fri during the summer there was this goddamn ice cream truck that used to drive into the parking lot, park there, and play its music all bloody afternoon.
this drove me almost completely insane and by the time my then-bf got home I was way more of a basket case than usual because I'd been listening to scary ice-cream versions of childrens songs all day through closed windows.
don't worry, I didn't live there very long.
Nuit Blanche Wpg 2012 edition
- by admin
night out on the town with two of my favourite boys. got dolled up and hung out at the WAG people-watching, chatting and catching up. wandered around and saw some neat installations. tyrone says he's got tons of ideas for MEME 2013 which is exciting. left my mark on the wall in one of the rooms because why not?
saw lots of familiar faces. walked around tons. wound up at an AV show in the exchange somewhere. I thought we were lost. we weren't. mulligan was there so I know it was cool. got greasy pizza for the walk home. didn't eat it because I was too tired. slept in. so good.
today is wonderful. had a great cup of coffee. leaves are falling and it smells like autumn. watched this music video and I love it. great start to the week.
goodbye september
