I'm so hip I have difficulty seeing over my pelvis: oh i forgot to mention WORK HAPPENED TODAY (+ i go on a tangent about moving and shit) →
it went alright. i mean it’s just setup right now so… yeah. i security tagged a lot of shit so my hands are really sore now. other than that it was like… yep. putting hoodies up on shelves and hanging tshirts. i now know how to detail hoodies. hooray. we have to bunch up the sleeves and they look…
Hey. I just wanted to remind you that you do have at least ONE Saskatchewan friend that cares about you. And I think he cares about you more than you realize. We’ve been through a lot together, and the friendships and relationships in my life mean EVERYTHING to me. I know friendships don’t seem to mean much to a lot of people, and that’s probably true of a lot of the Regina folk, but you’re always going to hold a massive place in my heart. I know being lonely sucks, I’ve been through it before, but I love you and I’m always here for you. So please don’t forget about the people that do care, cause once in a while they care a LOT. (I’m not big on Tumblr etiquette, so I’m not sure if a reblog was the way to go with this, but it didn’t fit in a reply.) I love you, Levi. You’re an amazing person and you deserve amazing friends. Don’t forget that.

Seriously dude?
My friend who consistently uses the word “gay” in a derogatory context (like saying “man that’s gay” when he should say “man that’s stupid”) just seriously said 1 girl 5 gays has a derogatory title. Seriously dude? Seriously?

Feeling down. Sorry if this depresses you, but I need to put it somewhere.
I don’t think anybody actually reads this, but I never say anything on here so here goes. This summer I made plans to live with some friends of mine in Regina and work over the summer. And this week, which is reading week (February break, basically) my parents told me that I have to move home for the summer if we’re going to afford school. This is totally understandable and I respect it, but I can’t help but feel like complete shit about it. And here’s why:
Regina’s not the best place in the world, but it’s a big-ish city, which I LOVE. Once in a while a movie or TV show comes through which would provide me with the opportunity to work an entry level job in the industry I want to be a part of. I have friends who would be willing to make short films to put on youtube, and one who’s account even has the opportunity to make money. There’s professional theatre groups that do improv and plays that I’d actually enjoy watching. There’s more than one movie theatre that I actually like going to, and one that shows independent and foreign films. And the biggest thing for me is I would be able to live on my own, independently, and just live the life I want. Instead, I have to move to Battleford where my parents want me to work for the city again. It pays good, but when I worked there last summer I was worked to the point of exhaustion every day. I never had the energy to write, which is really important to me, and I feel depressed because the ONLY thing I do is work. Sometimes my friends and I go to the bar but that’s about all.
On top of that I feel like this just seals my fate for spending the next six months single. At least in Regina I have the opportunity to meet people I have things in common with and maybe get a date. But every person I know that I could be interested in in Battleford has already shot me down at least once and there’s not a lot of comic book nerds/artist and filmmakers in this town. And my friend made some posts about queer platonic relationships? I don’t 100% understand them, but they sound like something I might seriously enjoy. I feel like there’s still some feelings for someone that aren’t going away any time soon, and thought that might be an option. But now it almost feels like that opportunity’s gonna be gone if I’m stuck in this town again.
So basically I’m gonna be living in a small city where there’s nothing to do and losing several opportunities in my areas of interest. So I’m hoping to God that I can find a job doing something other than manual labour and that the summer goes by FAST so I can get the fuck out again. I don’t know if this is just me being whiny, but I do feel like I’ve lost a lot of my freedom and independence in this situation and I don’t feel happy about it. I don’t want to have another uninspired, lonely, depressing summer. But it looks like that’s gonna be the case.
Sincerely,
Johnny Thailborough.

That’s why I don’t watch the oscars. And stopped caring about them a while ago.

Why is that picture of Stan Lee labeled Ike Perlmutter? Like, regardless, neither of them need any money. But they ARE two different people…

I really need to fucking rant.
Okay. So I know it’s annoying hearing people complain all the time, but right now I don’t care. Here’s why today is pissing me off.
It started off okay. Went to RLST, and started getting a bit paranoid that I was completely lost cause I was the only one not noticing anything in the readings. Like, I didn’t find any issues in the writing or things to be critical of, and everybody else did. But that’s something I can discuss with my prof, and he’s awesome so not too worried there. Then Theater class was cancelled, and I had a good time hanging with two of my friends and just talking about nothing important. Then, after that, I mustered up the courage to ask this girl I kinda like out on a date. Of course, she found a reason to turn me down. By not means am I blaming her. She has her reasons, and if she’s not interested she’s just not interested, and that’s that. But in all honesty, it’s so fucking FRUSTRATING. I take everybody’s advice in one case, then I don’t in another, and either fucking way I get shot down EVERY TIME. And all anybody has to offer is “She’s so stupid for turning you down, you’re amazing!” Or “You’ll find somebody someday!” As much as I want to believe either of these things, it’s starting to feel like none of it’s true. I know she’s not stupid for turning me down, she has perfectly legitimate reasons. And I respect that. But I’m really starting to feel like I’m NOT gonna find somebody. The one time I ever actually had someone, I god dumped after eleven days. Then we made another attempt, and it lasted five days. I was so god damned happy, and it ended so fucking soon. And every attempt I make ends in NOTHING. So I wind up sitting alone every night wishing I had somebody to hold on to, feeling sorry for myself. And now, my complete asshole roommate will NOT stop blasting his music even after I pound on his door for two and a half fucking hours. I have to go to class, then drive for four hours tomorrow, and all I want to do is sleep so I can stop feeling so pissed off.
And FYI, yeah, I know that my problems aren’t NEARLY as bad as everybody else on this planet. I’ve got it pretty fucking good in most respects. But I’m allowed to be in a shitty mood, and I’m allowed to vent my feelings whether they’re logical or not. All I want, all I’ve wanted for so fucking long, is somebody to hold on to, and a good night sleep. And I can’t seem to get either. I’m sure I’ll get over it soon enough. But I needed to bitch a bit.
Have a good night.
Johnny Thailborough.
