Yesterday Neil and I decided on which train route we want to take across the continent (excluding Mexico unfortunately). It is RAD and CRAZY and HUGE and now I am getting excited. First departure is to Montreal, then we're heading straight to New York; then down the Eastern coast to Jacksonville Florida; then to New Orleans; then San Antonio; then El Paso where there are many, many awesome caves; then up the Pacific coast to Santa Cruz to visit his sis; then to San Fransisco; then to Portland, Oregon; and then up to Vancouver and then across the Prairies and such until we wind up back in Montreal; then home! Thirty days! Thirty days of pure awesome! I even bought a new backpack today out of excitement.

We also had a very exhausting day today which involved swimming, passport picture taking, and a very long walk down to Point Pleasant Park and back. It was a pretty walk, the sun was out, the ocean was blue. Lovely.

We saw some weird stuff wandering around the strange neighborhoods of the South End. Observe:

When I say I'm in love you best believe I'm in love L.U.V.

Our Valentines Potluck went well, so much chocolate was consumed! The house smelled so damn good, there was a lot of clove and anise in the food and wine and Jason was burning his juniper incense. Afterwards we went to the Paranormal Formal which was spooky/sexy/fun. A lot of rad outfits and makeup, also the projections on the wall were fucking weird, they were apparently of some movie from the thirties or something called Freaks which basically showcased various sideshow freaks and weirdos and was outlawed or something for a while. It was eerie.
Valentines Day itself was all around rockin'. We went to see Poor Boy and man oh man I love Zuppa. Those guys are crazy talented and I love the way they tell stories. They really know how to play with your emotions, they'll portray something serious in such a strange fashion that it takes a minute to realise how moved you are by what's happening.
Then we went and got some food at the Wooden Monkey which is always delicious and also features highly dramatic waiters. I felt like I was supposed to applaud him every time he refilled my water.
On the walk home we took the warm-cut through Scotia Square and I took some pictures of Neil in that crazy-psychedelic elevator they've got. I tried to take off his shirt but he wasn't havin' it (it is also like being in a fridge in there).

Hello!

There has been a lack of work in my life lately, but I've been managing to fill that void pretty sufficiently with things such as: cooking delicious non-vegan (oh god it's a food paradise!) things like cheesecake; actually studying my herbology course, and highly enjoying it; crafting, I made 5 silk screens yesterday and started a new painting; hula-hooping, which is most fun when you get naked; and also entertaining wildly insane dreams each and every night.

The silk screens all turned out awesome, they're of drawings from the middle ages of witches doing evil things such as giving babies to the Devil, or throwing snakes and roosters into cauldrons or flying around on top of animals and being naked in the woods. I can't wait to put them on some shirts and patches.

I bought a very sexy dress from Dressed In Time the other day, which feels appropriate to wear at our aphrodisiac potluck tomorrow. I hope some people end up wanting to go to the Khyber for the Paranormal formal, but the Blue Moon show would be a lot of fun too. On Valentines Day Neil and I will have been together for 1 whole year. We had a Valentines roommate night last year and there was a lot of dancing to Dead Can Dance and siphoning copious amounts of wine from Jason's carboy and eventually lots of gettin' it on and here we are, a year later. Refer to recent facebook picture to see how we are still cute and happy! So on Saturday we are going to see the new Zuppa Circus play Poor Boy because we really dug their play Penny Dreadful. Apparently one of the actors broke some toes the other day, but they have managed to incorporate it into the story because they are excellent and talented. I often wish I could be some form of rich sugar-mama so Neil could quit his job and play music all the time and also take up acting because I think he would be a really good actor.
