the beauty of having a blog is being self-centered with no consequence!

holla - long title, but oh-so-true.

basically, this is a post to illustrate a point, boys and girls: Joel's love life is defunct.

de·funct /dɪˈfʌŋkt/ [di-fuhngkt]
1. No longer in effect or use; not operating or functioning: a defunct law; a defunct organization.
2. No longer in existence; extinct: a defunct person; a defunct tribe of Indians.

This occured to me especially when I returned from my Christmas break, and discovered something quite unpleasant about a girl I was interested in. This does indeed illustrate a great fact brought up by my good buddy Kevin - though a bit extreme: Girls are not to be trusted.

But this isn't a post to bring attention to that [hilarious] video. It's basically just to say I'm single! And lonely, but only kind of. Not lonely in the unhappy isolated from society kind of way - I'm a socialite basically, I have SUCH good friends in my life, and I am privileged. However, these relationships are alas not intimate - and such intimacy is what I lack.

To hold a hand, to walk along the beach, and to whisper sweet nothings - please, don't vomit just yet, I'm just trying to be poetic. Girls just aren't coming to me here in Toronto. Not that I've persued too many of them hardcore - but I've definitely had my fair share of interests, none of which would come true.

That whole... "Wait until it happens" line is true, I know. It's just - hard. And I'll be perfectly honest, getting some is a part of it!!! Friends with benefits, anyone? Haha, just kidding. I'm very selective anyway. I should stop talking about this now. I think I've got my point across. And, if you couldn't tell, I am Exhausted with a capital E. Oh, man.

Anyway! School's fine, whatever. Yay, Ryerson. I had my shoot today with Richard Sibbald, it was sweet - great guy. And a good team of makeup/hair artists and stylists behind him - it was really fun. Now I just hope B&M likes the pictures, and I'm set. We'll see!

Oh, and my Mom might come and visit me in February. So excited, that would be amazing - especially since my only plans for Reading Week are working.

Yours,
Joel
