aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

OK, so I have to leave in a bit, but I've not written in a week, so sorry, I know how much you enjoy reading this blog.

well, first off I'm really dissapointed in a friend of mine now attending university in Fredericton. he/she believes I think I am "better than everyone else" because I go to school in Toronto. and this person has not spoken to me since I got here in August. this person has ignored my e-mails, my messages, etc. etc. and likes to pretend I suddenly don't exist. what a mature way to deal with problems.

tonight I am playing in an RTA (for all those of you who live under a massive boulder, last time I am writing this = RTA is short for Radio and Television Arts, MY UNIVERSITY PROGRAM) band night tonight, I am so nervous. why? because it's going to be a bunch of rowdy, loud drunk people expecting hardcore rock shows, until I come out with my mellow songs and they boo me offstage. ooooooooooooooooooooh, man. so nervewracking.

I went to B&M, the agency I thought I'd chosen to sign with. instead, the scout-agent-buddy told me to 'clear up my face' (I thought my skin was clear??? well not quite yet) and grow out my hair, and come back first thing in January. aaaaah should I wait for them, or sign with Velocci instead? I don't really fucking know. I have been waiting / looking around for forever.

and my classes are done Monday, not Friday. whatever - and I am going home on the 16th I believe! 3 weeks at home = not bad at all!

OK so the show - I need to go get ready. but for your entertainment, here's a pic from my "merman" photoshoot this past saturday with st. andrews-by-the-sea's very own Caleigh Dunfield, shot in the photo studio of the image arts building @ Rye.

The end !
(and yes, that is a real octopus. thawing, though, not alive.)

Yours
