Alex, Evan, and I have been watching Star Trek. We're going to be ancient by the time we make it through every series but the screencap I am about to show you makes it all worth it, no matter how many bad science plotholes are to follow.

From ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) fromthemill's Flickr.
So much for updating regularly this year. I know I make journal posts in my mind, but then I get doing something and the need to write anything down sort of evaporates. The past couple of months have been busy in a good way, though. I finally feel like my social life is where I want it to be. I like being a hermit but it was getting to the point (in Toronto) where being alone stopped being enjoyable. Which is funny, because I just visited Toronto and realized that was ENTIRELY my own fault. I had such an awesome time in Toronto with my friends last week; I can't believe I spent two years blaming the city for my boredom.
But now I am in Montreal, and though I haven't really had a chance to explore (moving in, starting a new school, the weather, my ability to make up excuses knows no end), I am pretty positive I will love it. And I have this brand new web (structure? network? something tangible) of friends that I've never been used to having before. I have close friends who live minutes away from me. Or they are moving here soon. And the ones who aren't will become so consumed with the guilt of not being here, they will break (I won't name names, PaHeathechael.) I'm also super close to Ottawa and my family.
I was thinking about changing my LJ user name and, aside from not actually having the money to spend on something so ridiculous, I decided, fuck no! Raistlinette 4ever! I don't think I've ever mentioned it on here, but this name has been ridiculously life changing for me. The reason I have the greatest friends, the reason I listen to the music that I love, the reason I've lived in Toronto and Montreal. It seems so silly that something so small and weird has created my life. I thought it was good enough that it helped me create a set of online friends that I have grown up with (though we may not be as close now, I still love and think of all of you, and if you are ever in a bind, this trusty Canadian poptart will always bail you out) but it actually translated to all of the people I get to love in person, daily. Knowing I owe my life to something so dweeby is the best knowledge ever.

Keep in mind, as you are planning your holiday extravaganzas, that I have a database tagged by ingredient for cocktails!

These are hilarious. Five hundred dollars for a "lacquer" bangle. I've never liked any of the jewelery at Tiffany's since it seems to consist of their name stamped on little metal hearts, but how can anyone shop here and not be completely embarrassed and ashamed of themselves? BANGLES.

I bet whoever realized they could do that got a raise

So triple awesome:
1. We found an old trunk that someone was going to throw out. It's pretty decrepit but fixable. A tag on the side says it belonged to Mme W.A. Curry and that she lived on 57 Mcgill College Ave.
2. On the inside of this trunk we found an entire copy of Le Presse (a Montreal newspaper) from 1959. It's filled with huge fashion illustrations. It is amazing and I'm excited to somehow make use of it.
3. We have finally decided to rename Bonkers. Her new name is Usagi! I don't think it's going to be difficult to get her accustomed to it. Bonkers is just too horrible to say anymore.

"...because our country codes are the same."
"Both Canada and the States are 1?"
"Yes"
"Oh, right. How did we get to be 1?! It's like we invente- ...oh yeah."
"We did."
Alex says, to be fair, I got there before I finished the sentence.

Alex has been totally amazing recently. I mean, he's always amazing, but in the past couple of weeks, he has been pulling doubletime in the amazing department. He's made me delicious food, gone out of his way to help me, and put up with my constant (and VERY vocal) complaints. He's even on an errand for me right now and he's giving the cats a flea bath tonight!
I have been complaining because our cats have fleas and I am allergic. Alex is also covered in flea bites, moreso than me, but he didn't even notice until I saw them. Mine are few, but because I am allergic, I am covered in hives. And they itch and sting more than anything has ever stung or itched on me. Functioning normally is completely out of the question until I make myself busy and forget about it. Which works pretty well, actually. It's only when I sit down at home to relax or cook or sleep that I go insane. I have tried corticosteroids and allergy medicine (which knocks me out) and neither of these things work BUT I JUST discovered that slathering myself in baking soda works PERFECTLY. And though it is kinda messy, I totally prefer it to my constant application of antibiotic ointment (which, I think, is acting only as a placebo because I cannot figure out why it works slightly.)
Anyway, moral of the story, Alex is fucking awesome.
