It was 1.27 am the last time I looked at the clock and I still hadn�t gone to bed. This goes a long way to explain why I feel like utter crap this morning. Well that and the fact that I have a glass of chardonnary, 4 redbull and vodkas and 2 smirnoff ices jumbling around in my stomach (nice combo). as if the way I feel isn�t punishment enough, when I was walking past the telus building a car pulled up and it was like an instant carnival. People started running down the street, blowing whistles and shouting at the top of their voices. This might have been fun except for the fact that people were shouting scab and I was feeling so bad that I thought the noise might make me cry. I really need to rethink my policy of not calling in sick when I have a hangover. Or I could just quit drinking.

funnily enough, a sweaty guy showing me his arse isn't a big turn on. is that how you spell funnily? merry decided to pick me up and carry me through the mosh pit to the front of the stage. unfortunately i wasn't as drunk as him and i don't do centre of attention very well. i closed my eyes and squealed like a piggy until he put me down.

i pretty much figured that i was going to be forfeiting my lunch hour today but i decided that i deserved a 3 minute break to stop everything and just listen to one song from sebadoh's bubble and scrape. i picked sacred attention. its a great song and if you put your headphones on and turn up the volume you can create a wall of sound that keeps the rest of the world out. at least it should do but 3 minutes turned out to be too long a break. i got disturbed 3 times within that 3 minutes. it sucks being popular.

the ceo's daughter had a baby at the weekend. i printed out a photo of her for him. all the women in the office are ooing and cooing over the photo. cue the "doesn't it make you want one" and "you'll be next" comments.

i don't know why i do this but every now and again when i can't find, or can't be bothered to find, a more productive way to pass the time i head over to friends reunited, the british website for looking up old classmates. the first thing i do is see if anyone i went to school with has updated their profile and then i wonder how come there are so many names in my school year that i just don't recognise. Then i do a search for Mark, my ex who went to a different school, and hold my breath until i know he hasn't posted to the site. i usually wonder if this is because he considers a site like this lame or because he is so thick he can't use a computer. once i've got that out of the way i start doing random searches for people who have meandered in and out of my life. this time i ended up looking for some guys i knew in my mid teens. they were private school boys. they went to the same clubs as me and listened to the same music. i never expect to find the people i look for but i found rick. i wouldn't even recognise him if i saw him in the street now but i remember the way he was at 15 very clearly. he was cute, he always wore black, he had robert smith hair and sometimes wore eyeliner and he definitely wasn't interested in me. it made me smile to read his recently updated profile:
"My favourite music: How long have you got? Still listen to all the stuff I was listening to 15-20 years ago as well as more recent indie/rock/non-mainstream/If -I-Like-it-I'll-Listen-to it. I don't think I'm Robert Smith anymore though - the therapy obviously worked."
i wonder if he is still listening to bauhaus. i saw a poster on the way home from work; they are playing vancouver in october. i have a feeling that merry will insist we go. i'm in reminisance overdrive at the moment.
talking of being in my mid teens, shatner by the wedding present has just started playing. they were mark's favourite band.
