Too Cool For Public School

Gavin, Sam and I set up shop on the steps of St Michael's Church, spreading lox and cream cheese on our freshly purchased Fairmount Bagels. Mine had an unusual name: THE POWER BAGEL. Eating on the steps reminded us of Gossip Girl - the way Blair and Serena lunch on the steps of the Met. SPEAKING OF GOSSIP GIRL: I have been waiting a month for a new episode. And what to they give me? The season fucking finale. Thank you. I waited a month for ONE WHOLE EPISODE.
This is the actual church (in the Mile end on the corner of St Urbain and St Viateur)

I'm really wired right now - I need to stop blogging at night - I'm never going to fall asleep! Exclamation! Points!

HAPPY WOMANS DAY!

All morning I have been saying "Happy Woman's Day!!!!" to every person who crosses my path. This post is dedicated to all the fabulous ladies in my life - but especially four women who have become absolutely essential to my life happiness this year:



Steph, Deragh, Franny and Sofia: I came to Montreal wanting to find a group of girlfriends just like you! I adore all of you and our blog worthy dinner parties.

HAPPY WOMAN'S DAY!

A Special Treat

This video is so beautiful it humbles me. I couldn't move the first, second and third time I watched it!

I've never been crazy about Kate Moss. But yesterday, I was flipping through my friends magazine, looking at her spread, and I couldn't figure out why she looked so different. Then I realized she wasn't photoshopped. How refreshing! It was the first time I saw Kate Moss as a real woman - and not just a short model, fashion icon hidden behind sunglasses for paparazzi.



On another note: I'm trying to figure out if I should go to class this morning. I went to Gavin and Sams hotel room last night and drank too much beer and wine(when I should have been resting and getting over my eleven day illness.) BUT WE GOT TO GO SWIMMING!!!

The Mile End

(All photos from: http://spacingmontreal.ca/neighbourhood/mile-end)

I love the neighborhood that I live in. So much in fact, that I wrote it a poem,

A Love Letter to the Mile End

I love you for the incredible sales at my grocery store.
I love the Parc bus for coming every ten minutes.
I love that I rarely have to stray far from the area when I party. But when I do, your magical bus will zip me off to wherever I need to go.
I love eating your Fairmount bagels with Steph after a drunken night.
I equally love your breakfast joints the next morning.
I love the walk up Waverly Street to get to the gym.
I love seeing all the people sitting on the smoky patio of The Social when the weather is warmer. I secretly love saying your name out loud.
I love that my Depaneur is called Beer Paradise, though I wish the staff liked me more and sold Pabst Blue Ribbon.
I love the cafes. Especially the one where I get my ground Espresso.
I love that you house lots of cute boys.
I love you rain or shine (though I prefer you in the warmer months)
There is nowhere else I would rather be,
But in you,
Cause your so sexy.

Why?

I REALIZE THAT I don't sound very intelligent when I post. When I read a blog, I never think "Man this person sounds so stupid." But when I read my posts, I want to cringe. Do other bloggers feel this way?

I've been missing you

Its me, er, five months later! I've been missing the poor bloggy. (They became tres uncool for a moment there.) Kidding, kidding.
I still check my favorites. Every day. Without fail. (Sometimes I fall into a black rage when my favorite ladies don't post for days.) I wonder when they will return. i toss and turn at night. I throw my laptop around. Its really bad.

CREAM OF THE CROP BLOGS (In my humble opinion)

CHRISTINA D
http://christinadmtl.blogspot.com/



Aint she just the cutest? Chrstina is a legit blogger. Shes in San Fran right now on vacation and has pumped out three posts. This girl is serious. And her theme music is the instrumental theme from Edwards Scissor Hands. (Spooky and Amazing)

SIRI

Siri has been pretty consistent. She blogs like three times a week, although I check every day anyways. Bad habits die hard. Nothing has really changed - except she swear a lot more, some would say she has gotten a tad vulgar. But it just makes reading even better. And what else? Her boyfriends band hit it big last month. WATCH OUT!!!!!

CAMILLE
http://childhoodflames.blogspot.com/



Camille is very serious. I love her blog. its a treat. Although, I feel like she would be a bit of a bore in real life - like...someone who doesn't laugh at jokes, just stares. HER CLOTHES ARE SO PRETTY THOUGH.

HAYLEY BROOKS

Hayley is my best friend. I check her blog every day. And she has nice legs.

Fuck, now I remember why I don't post. That took forever!
