six random things about me
1 - i fucking hate using capital letters. for no real reason. i only use them when i absolutely have to. and i hate hate hate when i use programs that autocorrect my sentences to include capitals. it’s bullcrap. don’t force me to conform to your standards damnit!
2 - i fucking love swearing. i swear better than most sailors. i swear all the time, everywhere in every situation. what can i say? i enjoy the colourful words. fuck is by far my favourite word.
3 - i will rebel against almost everything i’m told to do. i don’t even mean to do it, but it always seems to end up happening. i very rarely blend into the crowd. i don’t try, i just honestly don’t really know how to do it. i have come to terms with the fact that i’ll always be different, and will always pay the price for it, but also get to reap benefits that others will never realize even existed.
4 - i fucking love music. and i fucking adore LIVE music. i would rather be at a rock show at the commodore ballroom than pretty much anywhere else on the planet at any given moment. i have seen over 1,000 bands play live (trust, me that number is totally not made up, and it’s likely closer to 1,200 by now) i have travelled to see my favourite bands, i have seen the same band 4 nights in a row. for instance, i have seen the tragically hip 15 times. i have seen most of my favourite bands multiple times. i flew to las vegas to see placebo because they didn’t come to vancouver. i saw incubus in vancouver, then drove to seattle to see them the next night. then went to victoria to see them again. i am obsessed with music. there is pretty much never a day in my house when the tunes aren’t pumping.
5 - i fucking love smoking weed and can’t ever imagine the day that i stop doing it. it has been such a ritual and part of my life for over 14 years now. i love the pot culture, i love the rituals around it, i love the political activism that it draws out in me… i just love it. i don’t do it every day anymore, and i have “rules” like never smoking before work and never when there’s anything important to do… but it’s still something i treasure.
6 - cooking and gardening are my two favourite at home activities. both feed my need to total control, a tangible finished product and help to teach me patience. in a perfect world i would have a house with a huge kitchen and a huge yard and i’d sit naked in my garden of 10 foot tall pot plants and tend to my vegetable garden and then venture inside to cook up a great meal for my friends.
