 i'm getting tired of starting every post with "this actually happened forever ago but i'm posting about it now", so all my imaginary viewers are just gonna have to assume that every single post i make should've been posted so long ago it's embarrassing now. it is september 8th, almost at midnight. these events occurred in april of this year. yeah, i know. BOOOO TOMATO TOMATO etc etc. anyway. because LJ and i are physically incapable of spending a second apart, she's making a return trip to montreal literally a week after i went down to burlington. is this potentially irresponsible use of money as well as bad time management? maybeeee. however, don't care + didn't ask. here's a picture of my girlfriend.   isn't she so beautiful?? i picked her up from the bus station at the crack of dawn again, and we went to this cutesy little cafe in what we soon realized was the gay village of montreal (a likely place for us to be). taken by me, while i a...

 yes, i'm writing this post late as hell. procrastination goes crazyyyyy and no i don't care. anyway disclaimer: this happened in march, not may. but i digress. school is getting busy in preparation for finals, but who am i if not too chill for my own good, so we're off to burlington to see my girlfriend!!! the buses only go at the absolute worst times of night (because of course), so i arrived in vermont around 2:30 am. it was a little sketchy downtown, but i stumbled upon church street (or, as i described it to my girlfriend, "this cutesy ass street with the fairy light trees" and waited there for my middle of the night uber to the st mikes dorms. the cutesy ass street in question. first on the agenda for the weekend was friday knight dry, an event that LJ was helping to run. so i got to spend the evening trailing along after her and trying to be helpful however i could, which was actually pretty fun. it was more of an endless string of side quests, which you kn...

 apparently canadian citizens are required by law to go to a cabane a sucre at least once in their lives (for joy and whimsy), so you know i had to fulfill that obligation. i've heard so many stories (mostly horror stories, i can't even lie), so i was a little apprehensive going into it, but we made it out alive!! started the week off with the second most canadian experience (poutine bar in the dining hall LETS GO), and while i regrettably didn't get a picture of it, just know that it surprisingly slapped. anyway. moving on.  on a similar note, this is the only regular update my dad can count on from me - a very enthusiastic review of what the dining hall has every time i go eat dinner (yes, he mocked me for saying it slapped. yes, i'm gonna say it again anyway). and yes, the "2-2" at the beginning of the text was updates on a hockey game. because of course it was.  last food-related update (before the cabane a sucre recap) i PROMISEEEEE but here's me with...

 i go through phases with music - i can never like things a normal amount, so as soon as i find a song i like, i basically play it on repeat until i get bored of it. with that in mind, here are my current repeat songs: ★ fool's gold, by lucy dacus: i've loved lucy dacus for years now (boygenius's number one fan✊) but i discovered this song a few weeks ago and since then, it's taken over my life. i play it in the evenings, or while i'm on the bus (gotta have my indie coming-of-age film protagonist moment as i look out the window).     favorite lyric: y ou'll blame the altitude/she'll blame society/and I blame the part of you/that can't let up on the reins/you've got life in a chokehold ★ francesca, by hozier: i knew of hozier for literally forever (who doesn't), but this year i actually started listening to him and as it turns out, i love him. which is not a surprise, but it makes me regret taking so long to start listening to his music, because w...

 yes i know it's not spring yet. no i do not care. it was above freezing the other day, and i genuinely felt like a bear coming out of hibernation. i went downtown with aiyana to a thrift market, we got boba together, and then i dropped her off at her class and headed home - except i actually got off the bus like 15 stops before i was supposed to and took a two hour walk home, stopping at pretty much every single store. it was insane and made my feet hurt but i had a surprisingly good time!! the first store i stopped at - records, books, comics, cds, cassette tapes, and just a generally great vibe. i ended up not getting anything (it took incredible self-restraint), but i looked around for probably close to half an hour and had to talk myself out of an abba record. the obligatory aesthetic converse picture one of the other stores - a flower shop! i ended up stopping in at least two of these, but this one was the nicest. it almost looked like a greenhouse from the inside, despite lo...
