Hnn. I finished watching the Fullmetal Alchemist anime this morning. I always feel so empty after finishing anime series. I own the movie but I don't want to watch it now, although I feel like I can't wait, really. I can't believe I waited so many years to buy the mangas on the sole account of "but it will be like selling my soul to shonen..." Haha. Been downloading a lot of scanlated yaoi, it's been a very long time since my local manga store received any new books, have to feed the obsession. *shrugs* ^^;;
Anyway, Seba-kun called yesterday and even though the connection was really bad, I was very glad to talk to him. 8 days 'til he gats back. Oh and he tells me he's been lurking round here. hehe. *blushes*
Oh wow, rented "My Blueberry Nights" starring Jude Law and Norah Jones with maman yesterday. It was love at first view. I don't think I've ever liked Jude Law more. He does excel in the uptights roles, but see what he can do when you let him play a more laid back character? I want to eat blueberry pie, now. Hee.
So, I think I'll beat the End-of-anime-blues by going out to a cafe and finish that poem I've been working on for almost a month now. This one is really eating at my brain, I cannot seem to find satisfaction in it, no matter how many times I re-write it. I do love it, though. It was spurned onto me when I briefly saw an old love of mine in the bus; im being so near without me being able to reach out to him. Yup.
Autumn's here, it's ok if you want to cry
Sep. 22nd, 2008 08:50 pmby fresh cut wood
all stacked to dry
that autumn's here
and it makes you sad
about the crumby summer we had
with pine trees creaking
the raven's screeching
just like the story my grandma tells
about when a bird
hits your window
someone you know
is about to die
autumn's here
it's ok if you want cry
-Autumn's Here, Hawksley Workman
Today I missed Seba-kun. I've come to a realization since he's been gone. For months now I thought I was horrible and selfish using his presence as a mood stabilizer. That's why I was so afraid when he let for France. But now that he's gone, I see that I can stand on my own two legs on my own, but I still miss him, in a very healthy way. He's the person I like to discuss my dilemmas with. I value his opinion. I can see clearly now that I don't have him around because I need to, but because I like it. Everyday now I feel a little more sane.
Me: *Calling my boss at 8 am after a terrible bout of being sick*
Boss: Restaurant McCrappiestjobever, how may I help you?
Me: Urgh. Hi it's Fannie.
Boss: Hi! How are you doing, Fannie?
Me: Not so good, I was wondering if there was anyone who could take over my shift tonight, Im feeling prett--uurgh. i'llcallyoubackokbye uuurgh---
::Ten minutes later::
Me:*Calling my boss at 8:10 am after another terrible bout of being sick*
Boss: Restaurant McIdontgiveadamn, how may I help you?
Me: Hi it's Fannie again.
Boss: Hey there! How are you doing?
Me: ... Well actually I'm pretty sick.I was wondering if there was anyone available to take over my shift.
Boss: Oh sure you got some pen and paper? I'll give you some numbers.
Me: ... *kneeling in the bathroom, stares at toilet dumbfoundedly*
Boss: You ready?
So I actually had to place the calls myself ( being sick a couple of times in the meanwhile). 1st person is in school, I leave a message on her voicemail. Second person is in school as well, she doesn't have voicemail. Third and last person is an angel sent from above and he says yes. so I call back my boss to tell her so, everything is fine and go back to sleep, holding a plastic bucket.
9:30 am: 1st person calls back omg so sorry can't take your shift S'okay honey someone else took it. *is violently sick and goes back to sleep with bucket-kun*
10:15 am: Third person sends me a text message forgot i had an apointment 2nite any1 else can take ur shift? am in school call me at noon wtf you moron!?!? *falls asleep on the bathroom floor*
11:00 am: 2nd person calls back, I explain situation oh so sorry can't blah blah K thnx bye uuuurgh
12:15 pm: Third person calls back so anyone available Why can't you just leave me alone!! I just want to be sick in peace please, let me be sick in peace *bawls* (it seems his apointment wasn't all that important after all *eyeroll*)
13:30 pm: assistant manager calls(she actually takes care of another floor, the whole staff works at two different places) what's going on? 3rd person called me this morning about your shift why didn't call me *whinewhine* first of all, because it's got nothing to do with you, it's not me working on your floor tonight, you would have seen that if you had looked at your schedule which is right next to the phone, by the way and I made that quite clear with third person, I don't know why he called you, but I arranged everything with Boss this morning. Second of all, oh, I don't know, maybe because I've been too busy BEING F*CKING SICK ALL OVER THE PLACE.
At that point I decided it might be a good idea to turn off my cellphone since I didn't want third person to change his mind a second time or for, oh, I don't know, the whole staff to start calling me while I'm barfing my head off.
I was completely miserable. I'm glad I only had one shift on those couple of days I was sick, seeing as I would have rather quit my job than having to live through that bleeding circus for four days.
I'm all better now, thanks to some peace and quiet. *snorts*
All is groovy
Sep. 1st, 2008 07:58 pmI don't even have words for this. I can usually squeeze ONE of these activities in one day and that's if I'm lucky. :)
There's one thing that made me pretty disapointed, though. Sebastien called from France while I was sleeping and I didn't hear the phone rigning so I missed his call. I haven't received any news from him since he's left so I was worrying a bit, but the fact that he called at least means he is still alive. :/ I really hope I can catch him the next time he tries to call.
I can see the crowd around me
Sep. 1st, 2008 02:29 amSo basically, friends are <3. Especially when you think you don't have any and they suddenly pop out of nowhere to your rescue in the darkest times. <3<3<3
EDIT: I hate the Rich text format. It makes me feel stupid for remembering what little stupid piece of html I still know.
Yesterday was the first good day for Canada in the Beijing Olympic Games. Male duo rowers won silver, the very first medal for Canada in the ninth day of Games. Medium weight female wrestling earned us bronze as well as male swimmer Cochrane in the 1500 m competion earlier today. (No, Prodigious Phelps was not in that one ^_~)
But my Canadian favourite certainly is cute and shy female light weight wrestler Carol Hunyh who earned gold yesterday in an undisputable victory against Japanese Chiharu Icho. First golden medalist for Canada in 2008 (and hopefully not last) , Hunyh, 27, was very emotional as the Canadian flag soared above those of her fellows and was even seen mouthing the lyrics to the national anthem. (Which I confess I do not even know by heart in French, so even less in English...^_^;;) It did tug at my soft Canadian heart. My (quite recent, I must admit) patriotic streak even made me shed a few embarassing tears at hearing our melodious anthem being played in front of the whole world.
So my favourite olympic moments so far, in this order:
-Georgian and Russian female athletes embracing in the midst of the war tearing apart their countries.
-Carol Hunyh's emotional medal awarding ceremony.
-Fun and childlike U. Bolt who did bolt through an amazing male 100 m sprint earning himself new World Record and a gold medal for Jamaica.
-Phelps and his amazing domination over the swimming competions, while remaining very down to earth with his 8 gold medals and 7 new world records for Beijing only.
Mostly, it's the good old fears.
You won't get a new job because you're stupid / fat / incompetant
You won't get back in school, they'd never want someone who dropped out twice
No ones is ever going to love you because you are ugly and damaged
When they come to the front of my mind, they are mostly fleeting. I can take comfort in other thoughts.
You have a stunning experience of the work market and you are loyal and motivated.
You are cultivated and opinionated, you have dreams and goals.
You can always count on your friends and family they will never desert you.
And if all fails i can always take out Kiki the blood-hungry yo-yo. It does help with focusing and calming erratic thoughts. :)
Each day should be a new oportunity.
Right?
These days, mostly, it had only been a fleeting thought., a flickering image. Today it slammed onto me dully, the same way it usually does. It numbed my senses a bit. Made me not care wether my hair was clean or not. But it stayed. It spread and streched and swallowed. It took shape in everything I saw, entertwined with my far away feelings. Today it was alive, the way it used to be. It was constantly by my side, it was constantly inside me, around me. When it becomes this stifling and emcompassing, I can never tell if it's me or it holdng the leach. I know it wouldn't exist if it wasn't for me thinking it into life, but I also wonder if it might not someday take complete control over me. Today was soaked with it. Tainted with my many weaknesses. And yet I know it is not te eternal I seek but just the oblivion. I can't remember the last time they were this strong and remained so long. I wonder if their effect has been amplified by absence because I don't know if I could bear it if the sun did not shine on me for just one more day.
In more consistant news, I've had another minor public breakdown, in a pub. It was all fun and stuff and then Sebastien squeezed a few words out of me and I pretty much lost it. I've been feeling pathetic ever since. Not so much about the public display of shameful weakness (been getting used to that) but more about that stupid, stupid thing I said. I really really didn't want to. There are some things that are just too raw and covered in too much layers of other painful stuff. I really didn't want to tell him about this. I can't even think about it, it make me feel so lame. He was not even trying to be all that pushy, but I saw that it hurt him when I told him that there were some things I would just never feel comfortable talking about. I didn't want him to think I didn't trust him or whatever. I'm just not an advocate of talking about stuff that hurt me se deep (in a public place, no less) , with someone who can't offer any comfort or true understanding. Though. as expected, he's been pretty cool about it (meaning he didn't mention it again) and I'm grateful for that.
It's just hard sometimes. Mostly the things that bother me a very common, but thy're just buried so deep and so close to my core. They just hurt so bad.
I just gotta stop thinking about it now. Okay.
Good night.

Aug. 5th, 2008 06:32 pmHeavy Duty Catching Up Time!
Jul. 23rd, 2008 11:39 pmThankfully, there's not much heavy duty catching up to do at all... I guess first layer would be school, job, love life. And you might as well throw three successive massive bricks onto my head.
Still out of school. Hating myself everyday about it, but hey! I'm young, I'm intelligent and more motivated than ever! *fake smile* Nah, it's true, I AM motivated. My goal is to subscribe for the January session at St-Lawrence. (and my goal when I was 5 years old was to be Celine Dion when I grew up)...moving on...
Still working my crappy hateful job at McDonald's. Well now, at least there's a little improvement there, I did get a promotion about a year ago. I am now what we call a "Chef de Quart" (no idea what's the english equivalent) No, no. You are right. Even in another language it doesn't sound prestigious. That's because it really isn't. It still sucks, but I least now I get to boss spotty fifteen year olds around while earning twice their salary. (which I don't do all that much, really, I admit I'm a big ol' softie and they like me to bits these cute kids I work with *nuzzles them*) And well, to add insult to injury, I'll be celebrating my fifth anniversary at the service of the evil clown of capitalist doom in less than two months. Funny how my bosses consider it an achievement, while the rest of the world snickers and takes bets on wether I'll spend that rest of my life working there. (please, lord, nooo, nooo *bawls*) I know, I know, if you ain't willing to change it, don't whine about it. But... *shrugs* what else is lj for, eh ?
Lastly, but not least, my love life. You could lie on the ground and watch the grass grow and it would be more interesting than me talking about my (lack of) love life so there.
And to top it all of I'm still being a perfectly good daddy's girl. The perfect image of the fat dork living in the basement of her parents' lol. I say it with a smile, not bitterly. It's what bothers me less about all of the above, so heh.
What else is new under the Fannie sun...
Oh, that's right, Let me introduce you to my lovely basementmate(O_o) Mister Seba-Kun. Events happen and tumble and voila! I have a lovely new shiny friend, who lives in a bedroom right next to mine (We shared my big bedroom for about a year before that, mhe. Twas fun. And no, he isn't the fashion tip kinda gay so I can't get annoyed at him for telling me how to wear a dress :3)So yeah basically he's my rock. *blush*
Well I guess I could talk about the panic attacks and the crying fits. And the doctor and the pills and the ugly, ugly D word. The disease. I guess I could talk about how it feels to be told you are mentally ill. But really , that's all behind, now. What I really feel like talking about is my ROCKING ROCK STAR GODSON! He is TEH awesome. He's a baby! He just turned one! He speaks about 10 words! He runs around and play hide and seek and fetch! He is every colour in the world. He makes me so f*cking hopeful, you know? Funny thing is, I never like children. Especially babies. But he makes me want to make the world a better place, that lad. Well, he IS my sister's son, after all. <3
So yeah, basically it's like what the new profile says, it's about coming back stronger , it's about learning from your mistakes, it's about fighting your way out of that cocoon and becoming beautiful, better.
Just a quick life update to say that I left school and that my father is less than pleased about it. Don't worry, though. I have already applied for the fall semester in another program in another college. I've had a few days of utter depression but now I'm back on my feet, I think. I will be catching up on my f-list as soon as I get internet back (that is when I'll be on actual speaking terms with my father).
~"You must realise that you're never alone"~
I mean I really think you like me
Jan. 12th, 2006 03:02 pm![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
The new Placebo singles are running around the internet and I can't download them because my computer is utter, utter crap. So, since I very well can't go all whiny about it in the 'cebo comms, this will be my Oosama no mimi wa roba no mimi!! (Literally: "The king had donkey ears". Japanese myth. bleh.). Gyaaaarrgh!! I want them I want them I want them!!!! I don't wanna have to wait til bloddy March to get the album!!! They're right there under my nose and everybody is talking about them and uuuuurgh... TT_TT. rant
I love Conor Oberst. I mean, I liked Bright Eyes before today, but surfing the net I found ( this ) and now I love Conor Oberst. But shhh. Don't tell him.
Random Update
Jan. 3rd, 2006 10:39 pmHaven't seen Brokeback mountain yet. Damn!... I tried not to spoil myself rotten but I'm sure I'll cry like a motherf*cker when I'll see it. I'm not that much of a sensitive person but yeah, "Boys don't cry" had my in a trembling mess of tears all balled up on my sofa. ( and it was the third time that I saw it eh. u_u;; ) Everytime the ad is on tv, I go *sobsob* in that fake manner (I always do that. I think people find it weird.) And my dad, (who doesn't find it that weird because he knows me ^_-) goes "Why do you want to see that cow-boy movie so bad? You never liked cow-boy movies before... unless it's that gay thing again... *eyes QaF dvd suspiciously* Oh well! Do buy it when it comes ou on dvd, yes?" ... O.o
Been spending way too many sleepless nights, but at laest they weren't spent alone and in order to finish uninteresting homework. More on that later, or another day, or never.
Went shopping with Laurie last Friday. I was cruising the english manga section when I saw the white words on te brown book spine. 'Wild Rock'. In retrospet, I understand the woman that was standing next for jumping at my "OH MY GOD!!!!O_O YAY!" Seeing my agitation my sister came towards me and saw that I was clutching the book ( whose cover consist of a very sexy, very half-naked Emba)
Laurie:*amused* That does seem like your kind of reading, sis.
Me: I've spent hours right-clicking-saving-as page by page of this off the internet!
Clerk-lady passing-by: Oh that one is prety hard core, I skimmed trouh it when we received it earlier.
Me: *blushes while thinking that Wild Rock is nowhere near what I consider Hard Core*
Laurie: Oh she knows! She's read it all already *beams*
Me:o_o erh... eheheh u_u;;; I checked out the scanlation on internet...*blushblushblush*
I wanted to write a very long random update but I really just want to go to sleep so yeah. More tomorrow if i feel like it.
Good night everyone. *waves*
(This is the first time that I will be using tags because I didn't know how to use them before. me <------- idiot)
Still not writting my essay.
Dec. 16th, 2005 02:41 amI guess everybody's been right all along; I'm not an ambitious person at all. I'm a slacker. I've burried myself too deep in a cocoon too tantalysing.I like 'doing my stuff' as I myself put it. Listen to my music, read my books, watch my movies, cruise the internet. Obligations have become sort of alien to me. I hate the idea of expectations.
It disgusts me really. *sigh*
I wish I could sleep and sleep and sleep and stop thinking.
When I was a child, I always had a lot of trouble going to sleep at night. I'd think about the sky and the stars and how small I was comapred to all of that. I'd wonder why I was human being and not an animal. Why I was me and not someone else. I'd wonder why I was at all. Why did I deserve the privilege of living? And finding no answer I would often find my chest tightening and I'd weep silent tears of confusion, my face buried deep in my pillow or in my stuffed animals. Sometimes my mom would hear me and she'd come to sit by me on my bed. She'd stroke me eyebrows and tell me to think about tomorrow, to take things one day at a time. She'd make me practice imagery and visualistion because sometimes I'd confess to her that I was scared that I would never wake up if I fell asleep.
That must be pretty hard on a mother.
