YOU CAN SLEEP ON THE PLANE, OR REVIEW WHAT YOU SAID.

WHEN YOU'RE DRUNK & THEY LEAVE YOU IMPOSSIBLE TASKS, YOU THINK OVER AND OVER, "HEY, I'M FINALLY DEAD".

WHILE YOU SIT AND REMINISCE..

THROWBACK THURSDAY

when i first met alex, i was surprised by his height. he was fucking tall. our first "date" together, i wouldn't really call a date. he picked me up, i was with my buddy so he came along too, and we went to some diner where alex's friend worked. i was REALLY sick this night, i was soo hungover and hadn't slept yet, so i was probably still drunk.. and alex barely said one word to me. we ended up going to revival for hip hop karaoke, and it ended up calm. cool. collected. i developed a little crush on him that night, but nothing major.
the next day, alex called me.. we ended up meeting up again to take a walk through graffiti alley. we ended up sitting in a park for an hour in the middle of february.. all i kept thinking was "please don't let any pigeons poop on me, it'll be so embarrassing".. it didn't :) he then took me for korean bbq, my first time.. and yes, HE COOKED FOR ME.. then he took me to chapters. we sat in a corner and flipped through books on hip hop and he also took the time to go through astrology books to check our compatibility. it said we should stay friends lol.
the next day he promised to take me shopping. we walked through the park and got some free soup from some hippies and continued trekkin'. we ended up accidentally stumbling upon toronto's ice festival. we went through the entire thing, when a couple asked alex to take a picture of them behind a sculpture of toronto.. after he did, the same couple insisted they take a picture for us. so alex and i got our picture taken, and he put his hand around my waist, i nearly died. it was behind a sculpture that said "toronto" in an arch, the pansiest thing ever.. but i was really excited to be so close to him.
upon conversation a few days earlier, i had said that i've never been ice skating.. so he surprised me by taking me to nathan phillips square. i was terrified, and thus still figured it a good time to grab his hand. we spent the night holding hands and skating, but the fucker still didn't know i was interested.
when he took me home, he had a parking ticket on his car. i apologized profusely and he was such a gentleman he shrugged it off like it was nothing.
the next morning was my interview for university, and it went well so i was really excited. i called him up and told him, and again, we went out. we spent the entire day walking and talking, and i grabbed his hand AGAIN, still.. he wasn't taking the bait. we ended up going to hooters to celebrate, and we finished 3 or 4 pitchers of beer. we were both drunk out of our faces. (i remember you talking to richard for a good 15 minutes on the phone whilst i waited patiently.. JUSSAYIN!) after leaving hooters, i was basically sick of his shit, so. in the middle of the streets of downtown toronto, in the middle of february, in -20c weather, drunk outta my face, hair in disarray, i asked him, "hey, alex.. can i kiss you?", he replied, "alright".

.. and the rest, was history.

i love you.












GET YA MONEY UP, JEWELRY TIGHT, SWAGGER RIGHT.. HONEY SMILE, DON'T ACT FUNNY STYLE.
DUDES W/CONTACTS WANT CONTACT, I TELL EM, NOPE!

A GUY'S MENTALITY, DON'T BE MAD AT ME.

i play with guys' heads to get what i want. i watch tv with my hand in my pants. i wear ball shorts to sleep. my profanity is off the charts, i'm extremely vulgar. i love sneakers, and appreciate adriana lima. i think megan fox is dope. i fight hard for my opinion. i'm kind of an asshole sometimes, and i have the occasional day where i sit down without crossing my legs. i love big meals, and wings, and burgers, and pizzas, and basketball. i slacked off last year (wah), but i love sports. i can probably out-drink you, and your best friend. i like german shepherds, and huskies, and labs, and dogs that won't fit in my purse. i like hanging with boys. i love hoodies, and manswers, and disorderly conduct. i like car chases and disaster shows. i love breaking stuff, and i appreciate a fuckin beer like you don't even know..

.. and i do it all without forgetting to re-apply the lipstick.

my name's botch. i am a girl of some kind of different.

51,111 THANK YOUS.

this whole blog thing doesn't really phase me sometimes. so i have a few thousand readers, but it never really feels like it.
the whole reason i ever started blogging, was i felt it was the only way i knew HOW to do things. my mom let me have my first journal when i was five. i still have it. she had these journal type notebooks which she used for inventory lists at the restaurant she owned. she literally had piles and piles of them.. well, being a five year old at a restaurant during closing time felt like a lifetime.. for both me and her lol.. that was until i saw this one notebook that caught my eye. it had two puppies on the front cover. i loved puppies (still do) and i didn't know why else other than the love for puppies, but i had to have it. i asked my mom for it, and she immediately said yes, more than likely the thought of something keeping me busy rather than me writing a novel.
i grabbed a red pen, and sat in the booth of her empty restaurant. it made me feel important, something that was mine.. and it was very grown up. i felt like a grown up. i spend that first day writing my name. at five, it was the only thing i knew how to write/spell. i wrote it all over the inside cover, and i think i even scribbled one out because i accidentally spelled my own name wrong the first time.
but, i kept at it, every time we closed the restaurant. i'd grab my journal. soon entries filled with my days, and things i made at school. from recess, to my dad passing away.. to elementary.. to junior high.. to first crushes, and math tests.. to high school, to grad, to dates, and boyfriends.. to now. since the age of five, i have never stopped writing.. be that on the internet, or in a notebook. be that with proper grammer, or just my name over and over. i haven't stopped..
and the whole reason i do this, is because over the past seventeen years, this has become my life. & if i can get that one person who relates to a simple experience, or a traumatic event, or a fucked up night, or a party, then just for that second, i'm sitting there, back in that booth. excited about showing my mom what i wrote.
whether you've connected with me or not, whether you've commented or not.. you've helped me, to become most thankful for people who take a second out of their lives, to take a step into mine.

MUSIC I LIKE RIGHT NOW.

SABASTIEN TELLIER
because when something like daft punk produces your album, and the greatest song on it is remixed by atrak.. yo. kilometer is a big tune in my room right now. nomnoms.

YEAH YEAH YEAHS - HEADS WILL ROLL
remixed by atrak. atrak is back in business.

K SPARKS FEAT. AHMAD - BLACK MAGIC
this song is absolutely 500% amazing. if you don't listen to any of the songs i've posted in this entry, make this an exception. pleeease.

PRETTY LIGHTS - GOLD COAST HUSTLE
if nas rapped over this, it would be favorite song in the world. good blazin' tune.

MRS. MILLER - MEMPHIS
yay.

THE SOCIETY OF POOR ACADEMICS - THINK POSITIVE, LET'S GO
because anyone who sings, "let's go to mcdonalds, lets go today, lets go to mcdonalds, everything will be okay", are clearly people i can get along with.. this song is so comforting, and makes me wanna say "thank you".

PETER BJORN AND JOHN - ME AND JULIO DOWN BY THE SCHOOLYARD
and i'm on my way, and i don't know where i'm going.. i'm taking my time, but i don't know where..

RADIOHEAD - BODYSNATCHERS
i do not understand, what it is at the moment.. blink your eyes.

LCD SOUNDSYSTEM - ALL MY FRIENDS
this song is exactly how i feel about life right now, like exactly. "and if it's crowded all the better, because we know we're gonna be up late.. but if you're worried about the weather, then you picked the wrong place to stay."

LYKKE LI - GET SOME
godddd. i love her. i want to meet her. i want to have a cigarette with her and discuss necklaces.

NAS - IF I RULED THE WORLD (FREDDIE JOACHIM REMIX)
remix of my boyfriend's song. you're so talented baby. this song sounds completely different than the original.. and usually when someone remixes nas stuff it doesn't flow, this went well.

GZA - 4TH CHAMBER
choose the sword, and you will join me, choose the ball, and you join your mother, in death.. you don't understand my words.

N.E.R.D. - HELP ME
cuz someone un-cool has made it inside the room.

music is life.

AND I ALWAYS FIND, YEAH I ALWAYS FIND SOMETHING WRONG..

so i made sure to leave the books to catch the premiere of kanye west's video? movie? whatever. so let's take a look at it.
as soon as i saw bird girl/lady(?) i knew.. THATS WHAT I WANT TO BE FOR HALLOWEEN. nowwwwww.. all i need is a killer body and some feathers.. OMG. so hot though, seriously so hot.
the michael jackson float was interesting.. i really wasn't sure what the two angels on the side of it were supposed to be? one of death, and one of life? one of good? one of bad? but michael jackson?! did. not. yeah, didn't get that.
the kkk seems to be a fascination with mister west.. he's always big on making the most outrageous things to get you in thought, but i think the video could've done without that.. he did it already, i heard him the first time. the teacup part was pretty powerful. i took it as a metaphor for perseverance, that scene was absolutely beautiful.. but there was nothing in the cup lol..
THE AIRPLANE HANGER.. WOOOOOOWWWWW.. what an amazing set. the contrast with the white clothes, against such a beaaautttiiiful room. who knew an airplane hanger could turn out so fucking beautiful?! the white people as servants was a pretty strong thought. that made me literally say "whoa", out loud. that's a big statement, and i applaud the sense of art and history in that. i feel as if some people are going to be offended by that, and i think that it should be viewed as what it is.. he literally took the term "if you could walk in our shoes" into full effect, and it was 100% interesting.
when homeboy was like, "do you know she's a bird?" OMG. i literally died laughing. way to throw some comedy in there, i found it to be quite comical.. and as soon as the piano started, i got ridiculously excited.. AND WHEN THE BALLERINAS CAME IN! omg. MY HEART STOPPED. SICCCKKEST THING EVER. when the table lifted their glasses for douchebags, i fully appreciated that. i fully appreciate the song, so seeing a visual for the line, in such straight line segments was screaming beautiful art. the ballerina with the cornrows was a boss.. loved her.
annnd then, the turkey came out.. waaahhhhh.. comfort your girl kanye what is you saying right now honestly!
THEN, the biggest line from the vid, "ANYTHING THAT IS DIFFERENT, YOU HAVE TO CHANGE." wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwow. WOW WOW WOW. i'm not even gonna.. just wow.
there are a lot of light shows and fireworks and all that kind of stuff, kanye loves his flashing lights.. ANNNNNNNNNDD then, she RUNS AWAY.. cuz run away.. and then he runs.. and that's it. she probably would've stayed if you didn't cook up her cousin for dinner. that's me trying to be funny, hope someone laughed at that.
real talks though, it's a pretty intense video.. and it spoke pretty well. i fully appreciated it.. and what else could you expect from kanye?! he's always trying to get people talking. let's see if he was loud enough for people to hear..

4/5 for contrast and lines and balance and music.. i hate how cocky dude is, but he certainly knows what pleases. minus 1 because uhh.. well, what?

CMON WEEKEND.

start being a weekend already. feels like a fuckin' tuesday the way this shit's going. IT'S SATURDAY. friday was a drag fest. saturday is snooze fest. and sunday's going to be the same. all work and no play make botch a mean bitch. if you add beer to that equation however, well then the whole weekend turns around! SOOOO.. what the heck's goin' on here?! i shouldn't even really go out either, i have a big day tomorrow, until wednesday i'm basically booked until 4pm at the earliest.. so i should rest and do the little things before the big things come and i freak out cuz i didn't get anything done.. BUT FUCK! i want a break! i can't stand working hard all week (and weekend for that matter) to not party at night. let's go out!? friends?! where are you?! waaaaahhhhhhh.
