Can I just take a moment to say: Who threatens to kick their child out of the house on Christmas Eve?

And people wonder why I hate Christmas with my family.

Edit and comment as you wish.

Trains in Madrid

 

Steamless, it is no longer the cumulus-

there is no rain here, just the curved

parallelism of steel. This is direction,

not the weather vanes of gears.

 

These seats are paved in faux

satin and the woman beside me

slides in sleep. There is nothing

to catch her but my bare shoulders.

 

Silence is something forgotten while

the green peppered landscape of summer

is stretched out of this forward moving metal.

I bought two blank shirts in London because they were super cheap, and I haven't gotten around to getting iron-on tranfers for them until now. So here's the one I made for myself (the other one's for Andy)

I gave in and e-mailed NYX and they gave me a list of stores:

Save On Foods
3510 Blanshard St.
 
Pharmasave
310 - 777 Roy
 
Pharmasave
2200 Oak Bay Avenue
 
Pharmasave
230 Menzies Street

So there you are, for those of you who might have also been interested.

P.S. Emily, I'll try and e-mail you sometime this week. LJ posts actually take me way less time to do because I don't really care what they say, whereas I put a lot of time and thought into your e-mails. Quality, not quantity. ; )

Does anyone know where NYX is carried in Victoria?

Charlotte bought some a few months ago from "the London Drugs downtown". But they're not there. I'm guessing all the stores either hate me, or Charlotte wants all the NYX for herself ;-).

I figure we must have it in Victoria because the Canadian distributor is based in Burnaby. Yep, I found that out, but not where it's carried. Cool.

I've watched porn movies. × I have been the psycho-ex in a past relationship. × I believe honesty is usually the best policy.
I curse sometimes. × I have changed a lot mentally over the last year. I carry my knife/razor everywhere with me.

Hey Guys,

London is cool. At the awards ceremony today I met a poet named UA Fanthorpe who gave me her address so I could send her poems that "Other people think are rubbish, but you just think they're rubbish". She was neat. And lesbian! Her partner, Dr. Rosie Bailey, also a poet came to the ceremony dressed in a cream pinstripe suit. Way cool.
I hate to be a total spoiled bitch but I miss home. And Andrew. And totally wish I was in Montreal with him. Or that he was here with me instead of my dad. Andrew doesn't snore, which equals sleep. (or not, but definately more enjoyable things than staring at the ceiling cursing my dad)
I'm allergic to Buckingham Palace, and will never go back there again. I saw a really neat one woman play tonight! It was about a girl named Rachel Coolie who went to Palestine and got killed by a bulldozer while she was trying to protect a family home. I'm going to the Tate Modern tomorrow, and shopping, and Who's Afriad of Virginia Woolf. And then I'm coming home, so that all of you can poke Jetlag-Peggy doll on Monday. Okay. Cool.
There are like, 67358 people waiting for his computer now. Bye.

The title is probably temporary. This feels like it needs some more editing, but I don't know that I can do much more with it myself. Also, I'm totally doing this Afra style and putting in a pretty picture, because pretty pictures are nice and so is Afra.



Longacre Estates

Grapes drop into your hands decieved,
fingers - long, curling vines. So thin, lily
stems weave between middle and ring
unnoticed except crystal petals, those
diamonds in your eyes.

Covered in black, my palms, gloved,
hold little - four sheets, thirty lines, three syllables.
"This could end." What could?
I strive for clarity; only drink red wine.

Yay for plane rides. Here are two that I wrote thinking that they might turn into one big poem. They didn't really, but I grouped them together...

Two for Travelers


Over the Alps

Look, Austria under your

right wing, but these

hills seems quiet as any.

What is the fee for

your magic? Certainly

not these nights alone,

restless, I have heard nothing.

All I have found in you is a cold

white wind blowing sleep

in every direction but this one.

 

Suitcases in Tunnels

Four little girls in cases,

one of us soft,

left behind in an

insomniac’s steeplechase for

silence, just a moment of

quiet to collect snow

swift, falling in valleys.

She hopes Italy is

still a honeymoon, a

cobbled-street around this

moonshine corner, a satin

patch in denim.

This is in result to Charlotte nudging me twice. I felt bad. So I posted. But it's soooo camwhorey. Click for one makeup look (taken with the shittiest camera inthe world. In the worst lighting in the world) And for a sample of headshots taken with a better camera with better lighting by that Paul boy.

This made me a little too happy. I think only because Spike Jonze is crazy, and I like that in a director.

[Current Music |Where Does the Good Go? - Tegan and Sara]

I've been writing a lot due to lots of reading, lots of ferries, and lots of being left alone in my dad's apartment. And lack of pianos. Poems are usually a direct result of not being able to write songs. I'm posting three. Please read and tear apart as you wish. Especially the third one. There's something about it that I hate a lot right now. *cue Dylan*

Ways to Pay for Beauty

It was November.
I traded eloquence for
a shot of vodka disguised
as warm breath on my neck.
Quietly you led me away
saying my laughter would
wake the city, and kitchen
lights at 1 a.m. would save us
from suburban darkness.
I loved you until we
found ourselves in a dark room
on a small bed. I stopped laughing
when your weight took root.
You told me I owed
dues to Aphrodite.
This was how I paid them.

And two more )

I obviously had to do the Charlotte face in tribute. In the before picture I did practise elf makeup because it's impossible to get motivated to study for Earth Science. You know it's true.
