bitchy_merlinI am back in Toronto. There is nothing quite so depressing as returning to the city from a sweet little place like Collingwood, which is one of the richest towns in the province, apparently, where everyone affords two cars and three pairs of lululemon pants.
The skiing? Was awesome. And we even got upwards of 10 cm of fresh snow (Ontario powder, woot woot!). This probably won't appeal to everyone, but lemme tell ya: out on the slopes by 8:00 a.m. the day after fresh snowfall when all the hills have just been groomed and there's nobody else out there - it's heaven. Hurtling down the slopes, feeling the wind whip by me, that's my type of infinity.
Fuck it, would people please stop interrupting me for five freaking minutes! Thanks.
What else did I do? I watched more TV in one week than I've seen in basically my entire life. Shows like Total Drama Island, 6Teen, Avatar, the O.C., and House. <-- reasons why Sarah should never be allowed near televisions, ever. I hung out with SC who slept over, and oh yeah... I made some New Year's Resolutions.
My Top Eight
1. Get my G2 so I can get it off my fucking back and my dad will stop pressuring me to drive.
2. Raise math mark by at least 3%
3.Do well in all other subject areas *coughninety-fivepercentaveragecough*
4. GET A FREAKING JOB!
5. Figure out what I want to do with my life.
6. Stay fit/work out more
7. Household tasks.
8. Stay motivated. No more freaky apathy for me!
And I also have some Insight into Sarah's head (aka why nothing I write ever makes it into the comms)
The Dialogue in My Head When Writing
WRITING: Then Char. X gently kissed Char. Y...
MY INNER CRITIC: WTF woman?! Char. X would never do that! Not even if Char. X were drunk/high! How do you think of these things?
ME: B-but I want X and Y to kiss! And hug each other! And comfort each other! You like h/c, don't you?
MY INNER CRITIC: Yes, but only - listen - only when it's IC!
ME: But it's hardly ever perfectly IC!
MY INNER CRITIC: Certainly not when you write it.
ME: HEY! I notice you hardly ever put up fights when I'm daydreaming about it, no matter how unplausible the scenario!
MY INNER CRITIC: Well, that's different. It's all in your head, no one else knows about it; it's not real.
ME: So? If I write it, no one's going to see it anyway. Come on, what's the big deal? Who cares if it's a little far-fetched?
MY INNER CRITIC: WHO CARES?! What do you - farfet- honestly! Have you no decency? No respect for other people's work? Writing OOC fanfic is a perversion to mankind! You know how much you hate it when you have to read OOC fics; why would you inflict that upon other people?
ME: Because I want to write it - I don't even have to post it. Just let me write it so it exists someplace other than my head, please.
MY INNER CRITIC: Why? So you can look back on it and cringe at how horibble and wish-fulfilling it is? You want proof of what a crap writer you are? Leave the writing to the people who don't suck. Just give up and go do something useful for a change.
ME: But I -- adda -- wibba -- I - fine...
My inner critic puts forth some very convincing arguments apparently...
I did write a poem, though I probably won't post it now.
In conclusion, wishing everyone the best in 2008!
ETA: hmmm... 4 out of 8...not bad.
