oh my god...
i don't know how i feel about travelling with people i barely know, it's kind of scary. anything, anything can happen. but i feel like this is it, and i am doing it and it's too late to back out, and i am so thrilled.
NOW july 30th to august 3rd GEORGIA with krikor (tbilisi and batumi) i come back to yerevan on my own (scaaaaryyyy!) we will be couch-surfing in tbilisi, and hostel-ing in batumi
TENTATIVE august 6th or 7th yerevan to prague to paris
august 7th to 23rd at least a few days to a week in paris, then going around europe with most likely matt, possibly anette, maybe go to london for a few days
august 23rd to 30th barcelona & an island south of ibiza with krikor, possibly matt
august 30th or 31st back to prague to toronto, one night in TO, then back to montreal

i hurt my weak ankle yesterday at basket-ball. three men stepped on my foot and it's so bruised now i'm limping. his sweat was all over me. crusty. i look at him and i feel like i'm melting. i know he liked me and thinks i'm funny but i don't know if he still likes me.
what could this possibly be. where could this possibly go. i am not even thinking of that, because i don't care. if it stays here then wow. and if it comes back to montreal and new york then still wow.

i cannot say for sure that i love armenia just yet, although i want to. i have barely seen any of it as i've only been here a day and some, but i can definitely say that armenians are sweet, and i love our group so fucking much. we're having a goddamn blast.

of montreal - the party's crashing us |

i arrived in toronto last night. my cousin isabelle came to pick me up and we went out for supper. my last "north-american" meal (and what will be today's lunch) was a coconut curry chicken rice bowl with naan bread. apparently there are a lot of indians in armenia? i'm getting more and more anxious as this approaches. i forgot plenty of things at home but it's okay. i'm leaving for prague later. i've got a guide book so that should help, but i'm only kind of prepared and ready for it...
oh my god. armenia.

Sagittarius Horoscope for week of June 12, 2008
You really have no right to tear yourself down. Badmouthing yourself is a first-degree sin, and so is being mean to yourself or depriving yourself of the care you need to thrive. This is always true, of course, but in the coming week it's more crucial than ever that you refrain from even the subtlest forms of self-abuse. To be anything less than an imaginative lover and nurturer toward yourself could upset the cosmic equilibrium so profoundly that everyone else would suffer, too. Therefore, you owe it to the rest of us to shower yourself with blessings.
... right on time.

i know i'm so annoying with this comms stuff but i FINALLY got to register. i hadn't received my official letter of acceptance, just that i had been recommended to the department, so it was taking forever... i'm happy with my schedule i think. except that in the winter semester, i have two classes at 8.45. in the winter. suuuuuucckckckckcyyyyyyyy.
i kind of smell bad today.
i had a good week-end. i wore a skirt. steph jess and i made food for ten and ate it all.

i almost quit work today. but then i was somehow convinced to stay.... i'm going to have to bring things in that will cheer me up or at least not feel like shit. like pictures or something. and i think i should allow myself breaks other than going to fetch some water and going to the bathroom. i always miss out on so much because i work week-ends.... this is the end of it, though. i don't ever want to do this again. people go on insane picnics, insane everythings and i'm always aaaaww no i can't i'm working... NON!
i had a dream about two months ago that my grandfather, the one that passed when i was a kid, was telling me he was proud of me. i think i should probably focus more on positive, uplifting things like that than anything else.
this morning in the metro i ran into alex, this kid from high school that steph and i just adored. it felt so nice, and i wanted to tell steph face to face just to see her reaction but i told her over the phone and i could sense her excitement. he's such a sweetheart. i think we'll all go trapezing together or something.

ufbé. ufbééé....... hoknadz em. khentanalik hoknadz em yev chem kider inch genemgor.
i've been very emotional recently. i've seen my therapist twice in two months. so i've started treating myself, because i feel like i have no choice but to understand it all.
i went to see my dad the other night, we biked around, had some lahmadjoun. it was great. i had a full week-end.
friday was beerfest with steph, li, vince.... (and a stranger making out with me, and riding my bike home in the rain still drunk). saturday was work alone, antoine didn't show up because he partied the night before. i saved his ass from getting fired. also korova with jess (and her pushing me to hit on a guy who turned out to be gay). work was miserable today, but steven - a customer - fetching me an espresso - the nicest gesture someone's done for me in a long time. i got the giantest cut on my right index while washing the slicer during closing time - blood wouldn't stop pissing and i was getting lightheaded, kind of wanted to get stitches for it. i think this'll scar for life.
i don't know how i do it. working shit jobs all the time. i know i'm supposed to because i'm 21, but you know what, i don't want to. i know that's spoiled and selfish, but i do it too much and it fucks with my sanity and mental health. i'm devising a fucking diabolical plan so i don't really have to work when i get back.

people at work are weird, sometimes they like ya sometimes they don't see ya.
i bought boogie nights today, the wizard of oz today, amélie today, bonnie & clyde today.

KanYe was AMAZING. the new n.e.r.d. song, about coke, with lindsay lohan in it? even for a mere three seconds, i love it.
i miss paris.

i spent about three hours biking today. i didn't actually accomplish anything... but i spent three hours on my bike. and then i got a flat. and so i have to take public transport to work tomorrow. one of the pleasures of summer for me is to not have to get into a bus or metro for at least six months... i'm pretty sad. but i'll be getting my bike back tomorrow. in the meantime i borrowed my dad's bike just to come home, and holy moly, i don't know how he rides the thing. it's so shaky, it's dangerous!! i was scared riding fifteen minutes to get home. i want my bike back now :(
i have options tonight. things to do. people i can call, people i can see. but i'm so pooped, i don't think i'll do anything except buy my ticket to armenia, and kick back with a dustin hoffman movie.
