i don't care if Jay-Z is the "best rapper" he has become COMPLETELY irrelevant. same with kanye. i'm so, so tired of people losing their shit over them rapping about getting rich over an otis redding tune. Das Racist is where it's at. beyoncé doesn't matter.

 BEST BASEBALL GAME OF LIFE. OH MY GOD. SO MUCH FUN. 

 i am totally obsessed with Rye Rye.

 best smoothie of life:

-spinach
-ginger
-cucumber
-banana
-frozen mango
-pear nectar
-apple cider
-and mint

do yourselves a favour. like i said, best smoothie/drink of life. 

 oh, how i wish i could just stay in all day, and listen to m. ward, read kate beaton and make me some food. some veg chili and cornbread would be nice.

dancing with a boy would also be nice. 

 this, i hope, is the year i get off my ass and prep my CV and have the guts to send it to anyone and everyone ever.

 most exciting thing ever - i was just telling my  mom in the car how saddening it is that i don't know when i'll see people that i've met through my travels again, if at all. i booked my flight to buenos aires this morning, just posted it to facebook a couple hours ago, and my friend felix, whom i stayed with in madrid (that was the first time we met and we instantly hit it off) IS GOING TO BE IN BUENOS AIRES ON MARCH 8. i leave the 10th!! how fucking amazing is that!?? such a coincidence!! 

 just booked Buenos Aires - Feb 24 - Mar 10.

 hi, 2011!!

it was an okay night. my dad was cranky. after midnight i went dancing with sara and the girls, and then ran off to angus's party in NDG. crashed at rob and lindsay's and about 10 minutes after falling asleep i got a phone call from andrew!!! i sent him a happy new year text and he didn't recognize the number, figured it was from north america, figured it must be me, and just gave me a call! it made me deliriously happy. is it odd that the highlight of my night was a phone call from a favourite person in australia, vs. hanging out with favourite people in montreal? 

 i never really liked new year's, but this year is different. because 2010 was insane.

2010, it was so nice knowing you. thank you for showing me the absolute worst of me, and for showing me the absolute best of me. thank you for showing me how desperate i could be, thank you for showing me how independent i could be. thank you for showing me places i never thought i'd go to and now daydream about on a regular basis. thank you for solidifying my friendships with those that matter, and showing me what the bottom of the barrel looks like (it ain't pretty). thank you for opening my eyes, heart and mind to the most amazing people, and for keeping me alive through it all, too.

thank you for being the most incredible year i've ever had. merci.

2011, you've got big shoes to fill.
