OK, let's break it down here. The reasons why I haven't been posting.
1. I'm sad and lonely
2. Nothing interesting happens
3. When interesting things happen, they usually involve unbloggable unmentionables
4. Weather. Depression
5. Sitting in a chair staring at a screen ALL day
But I guess it all began... Tuesday night.... at the concert....
Naw, not going to get into that yet (although, I am sufficiently tipsy enough for that). But Tuesday night, was such a perfect night of randomness, shenanigans and safety. It really reminded me... of what can happen.... when you say..... YES!! to everything.
And then, tonight.....

Sometimes, you just have a killer night.
And, well, sometimes killer nights just can't be shared on ones blog.
But this glass of red wine is urging me to spin a yarn. But, you'll have to fill in some of the blanks for yourself.

The origins of Family Day... well, sort-of...

Holy crap, I just lost one of the most beautiful and elegant post's I've ever written in my short life. Then deleted, by mistake.
And now, it's bedtime.
As for me, don't you worry about me my faithful followers. But there's nothing shenaniganarific going on right now. I feel I've failed my motto, Procrastinate Now!!
But never fear, dear Interwebbers. For this weekend marks the anniversary of my father, and brother's birth. As well, it is a most sacred holiday that Ontarian's hold dear: Family Day. Ah, for those of us in Ontario, the Family Day Holiday is more sacred and amusing then Christmas, Hallowe'en and My Birthday combined.
So, it's the least I can do, for you, dear reader. I solemnly vow, on this sanctimonious holiday weekend commemorating the sacred bonds of family ties, to go on a bender. And make sweet shenanigany tomfoolery all throughout the land.
Wish me peace, in my noble quest.
For if I shall fail, then I shall return to this blogorator device, and make up lies about how "the weekend was epic" and "it was totally boss, fo'sho"

Do ya miss me?
Well you can find me here... or here...
Lessons learned? Never let your drunk friend act as your spokeswoman with the dude you're dating.
Also, I really don't have time for dating.
But I DO have time for a girl-crush on her.
(I'm also interviewing her for an abstinence article. Ironic? Or conflict of interest)
Damn, I wish I had a cohesive theme to this blog.
(Or, could write a cohesive post, for that matter.)
Life, is a shit show.
Nobody wants to marry the funny-girl.

Is this love that I'm feeling?

Why you should watch Mad Men
To fantasize about Don Draper, who exhudes pure sex.
_________________________________________________________
Or maybe Ken Cosgrove's Madison Avenue Charm is more your style.
_________________________________________________________
Or, if Silver Foxes are more your style, there's Roger Sterling.
_________________________________________________________
I love 'em a little nerdy, like Harry Crane.
_________________________________________________________
Paul Kinsey is a delicious mix of pomp and self-consciousness and culture.

Cottagesky
By:
Veronica Blake

10:32 PM
Well. Cottagesky was awsomeness. Just what the doctor ordered. Except the copious amounts of alcohol consumed, excessive amounts of smoke inhaled and ridiculous amounts of ultraviolet rays.
The trip went smoothly, so now I feel I can take my lil '91 Escort out on the road more often. The cassette player was shite tho. My car now smells like an ashtray.
Went to visit a friend up in Huntsville. He told us his brother and friends would be there. We assumed it would be his little bro (translation: 20-year-old frat/sorority types...rich little white kids) INSTEAD, we were delighted to find his older brother there. Bunch of cool people in their 30's, who knew how to party.
Also. They cooked for us. They made BIIIIIGGGG messes at night. Each morning we would wake to find the property COVERED in beer bottles and cans, glasses, cigarette butts, empty cigarette packs, munchies garbage, etc etc. But we'd get it all clean before breakfast... and then the cycle would begin again.
It's weird now I'm in my mid 20's. I'm starting to contemplate being 30.
I don't have many a good role-model.
Silver is 33. And I feel older than him most days. I am unofficially, the oldest of the group. He's too wild and directionless.
Mr. Collins is 33 as well. Maybe he used to be a fun dude. But I don't see that. He's dull. He's lost that lust for life.
Some other people I know are cool and everything. But they're living mediocre lives.
But the people at the cottage this weekend? They are EXACTLY who I want to be when I'm in my 30's. Nice car, good career jobs, starting to settle down with a mate, but still know how to party.
Music time? What the hell. Try this on for size...
ooooh. just realized this link doesn't work. I wonder what I wanted to play... ah.. this'll more than make up for my error.

Say YES!!
By:
Veronica Blake

10:58 PM
I'm not normally a do-er or a joiner. I'm lazy. I'm a home-body.
But then I get bored at home, and wish that I accepted that invitation to go out.
So Friday was epicness. And I worked all afternoon Saturday. But Irish had been bugging me alllll week to make my entire weekend epic, and go out with her Saturday night.
I refused.
She relented.
I got home from work. I felt restless. And sad that the semester was all-of-a-sudden complete.
I also felt on the verge of tears. Maybe it was exhaustion. Maybe it was relief. I love journalism, I adore school, I'm sexually attracted to all the people that litter my day. And now, my only reason to put on pants is work? Soul-crushing karma-killing work?
Something had to be done.
That's when I decided: I shall say YES! to everything this summer.
And where did that take me? Well, a delightful day with the Donnelly-clan.
I met her entire family: mom, dad, brother and 3 sisters. Predrank at her little brother's birthday kegger, complete with highschoolers. Went to a club in a strip plaza in Ajax for her sister's personal trainer's birthday. Chatted up the cabbie. Ate chicken wings and cake with the stragglers post-kegger. Slept in Aileen's chamber of horrors. Woke up to a breakfast feast fit for Wedding Crashers. Went to her little sister's Irish dancing recital in Etobicoke.
Such delightful randomness. To which old-veronica would never have agreed to. But summer-veronica, that chick is different!
