pasta with pesto and cinnamon toast crunch is the perfect late night dinner after the perfect late night nap after the perfect day of grocery shopping and laundry (as it was a perfect day outside today).

despite the perfection in my life I am slowly falling apart physically - I'll get over it, but its hard to be sick without your parents. No one else is around to help you out but you.

because its been so cool here, I shut off my teeny tiny air conditioner and threw my one able window wide open to sleep to the sounds of College street - which would be a 24 hour street car and a bunch of Portuguese men arguing outside the men's club (and apparently someone taking their bike out for a spin in the lane between my window and the building beside me).

today, aside from groceries, laundry, and full seasons of Sex And The City, I finished putting things up in the apartment, and now it actually feels like an adult lives here. And then, between putting up my magnetic knife strip and shopping for limes, I realized that this is the first year in my life, well since I was a teeny baby, that I won't be going back to school in September. to cushion the blow of such a realization, I purchased my train tickets to Montreal for a week of birthday fun with Christine. ask me how I'm feeling on this subject when everyone is in the middle of Mid-Terms. I'll either be in the middle of an identity crisis or very relaxed.

I have to go do my dishes now, and then, I will sleep the sleep of a thousand years.

its getting colder here, and I almost can't wait for fall because then I can start wearing my Oxford shirts with pullover vests and grow grain ribbon bows 'round my neck.

today Joanna and I went to explore the beaches because on cold days like this, tourists tend not to go to those areas - however they were all over the Eaton's centre (where I did not stay long). In the long run, if I stay here and pretend I'm an adult, I would move there for sure (but with a car - we were on the Queen streetcar for 40 min and then a good 20 min walk).

now I'm in bed with Season 3 of Sex and the City and I plan on napping before going out down College tonight.

now for the long awaited pictures:

there. its small and its mine and I love it.

sleep times now.

on days when I'm walking down the street and the sun is shining and the music is blaring in my ears, I think how happy I am and how long its been since I was happy.

I haven't had much of a chance to shop because of financial constraints, but now that I have a job and money will start flowing, I can start to shop at my shop and get more fabulous shoes and maybe even some more boots. no, for sure more boots.

recent toronto events include: breanne and aaron coming to visit, and realizing that no more than one person is allowed to stay with me at a time; going to the island to play bocce ball with Joanna and Jordan (her BF) and wandering the heat of the day with gin in hand, being eaten alive by mutant mosquitos and soaking up the beauty of living on the water these days; visiting any and every pub down College and beyond with Joanna and Jordan in hand, 3 am walks and 5 am grocery shopping after attending a rooftop party.

upcoming events include: Christine coming tomorrow morning, shopping!, pedicures, giggling, drinking wine, eating fruit (I was on the verge of scurvy), late afternoon lunches, (more) riding the streetcar with the windows open and the wind on my face, working (!!), bocce ball tournemante grande on the island, and I'm sure more shows, mojito's, and generally being me (which is much more fabulous in this city).

sounds boring on paper, but its really the best life one could have asked for.

THE WORD FROM UPPER CANADA

Currently watching some crappy E! show Big Bang Theory (Kaari, some girl is wearing your Marc Jacobs hoodie on it) and eating milk chocolate chips after my evening of exploring Ossington for Pho with Joanna.

I was walking into Metro to get some necessary groceries (read: milk chocolate chips) when I looked up to see the CN Tower. When we left the restaurant the temperature outside had cooled down to the same temperature as body temperature so we weren't as awfully sweaty as when we got there, and I had an overwhelming calm come over me. Apparently, when in doubt, looking at the CN Tower all lit up makes me better.

Last night I saw Lykke Li with Emily at the absolute worst venue ever. It was amazing tho so it kinda cancelled itself out.

Wednesday night I parted from my parents and impromptuly went to the Yeah Yeah Yeah's show which was ALSO amazing.

today my mattress finally arrived so I set up my bed and have a fully furnished apartment just like other adults (pictures to come once I actually CLEAN).

tomorrow however, I am going to Yorkdale mall and to maybe apply more places down Ossington.

I'm going to have some bread and peach drink now and go to bed a very happy girl.
