I think I'll be leaving this blog and making a new one on Myspace soon. I'm back at school and I have a bajillion things to share but i don't have internet and I'm at the lib right now and will not be able to resume my Paris experience but the gist of things is I WAS FRONT ROW AT ROCK EN SEINE WHEN RADIOHEAD CAME ON.. how I got there is a very funny story but I MADE EYE CONTACT WITH ED, THOM AND NIGEL (producer) I was hysterical but have since calmed down and I will tell you all about it later Paris by the way is the most beautiful place I've ever been to. I'm so in love with Paris, I went to the top of the Eiffel, the L'arc Triomphe, the cruise along the Seine river, the Louvre, the ferris wheel (and kissed on it)  Mani and I remain broken up but we had an unforgettable time together in Paris and I still adore him to bits. However next year we will be 13 hours apart and it's just not feasible. ...

These past two weeks, I've been so busy, going to Kingston, getting an apt, meeting up with friends.. DRINKING EVERY SINGLE NIGHT! and I'm going to give my liver a bit of a break before I go to Paris, where I will not be able to resist the wine.  I have so many funny stories to share but that will have to wait.. I'm sooo busy. Meeting with Prof went well.. SHE'S NOT SCARY! whew. I'm sooooo stressed, still in the midst of packing but the OKC that's playing won't give my blood pressure and heart a rest... I'M SO HAPPY...   I feel really shitty, was moody to Mani today who is going through all kinds of lengths so that I can go to this concert, I'll have to make it up to him by being extra sweet and thoughtful on the trip.   I'm sooo happy and euphoric I'm DIZZY and can't stand up straight :) I know u all are happy for me  Watch for me at the...

Holy shit, I have a plethora of drama to tell all you about ( I haven't left this site.. yet) BUT I DON'T EVEN HAVE TIME, I JUST GOT IN FROM SUSHI and now I have to pack and wake up at like 6am to meet Migchels who is leaving Sarnia at 4am to pick me up so that we can be in Kingston at a decent hour. OMFG! I thought I would have time to sort my thoughts on this and calm down but this is proving to be too time consuming. Sorry! See yous later AND WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS SMILEY DOING TO THE OTHER SMILEY ANYWAYS?   tchocky   PARIS IS SO FUCKING SOON!

Anyways, I'm SO STRESSED right now it's not even funny. Tomorrow, I have to go to the passport office to get my passport, then I am going to visit my coworker Cynthia on her last day of work where we used to work together and then I'm supposed to go out with Ray ( Di's sister's ex bf who became my friend, weirdly enough) before he goes to Banff to go skiing!  omg, I was supposed to do drinks with Harshaw yesterday with Rachelle but that fell through because I had made other plans. Saturday ( the day after tomorrow) I am going to a beach party, after which i have to rush to Pat's open mic show somewhere downtown! Then on Sunday, I promised to go to a bar to drink my ass off :( Monday and Tuesday i have to be in Kingston looking for a 3 bedroom apartment for me, migchels and tonia but on Tuesday I have to meet with my professor at 11 on Tuesday and Monday night, Julia wants to go clubbing...

I wanted to write, just in case I forget, that while the rest of the fam was out camping, my little sister and I had a fun day together. After church we went to Dominion to buy foods we wanted to eat. We bought a bag of cherries, tomatoe and basil and parsley and italian bread ( we should have gotten the french bread in retrospect) for the bruschetta she was making for dinner. er.. I forgot what else we got but we came home and made a fruit salad too. We also stole the remainder of the wine left over from Christmas I believe ( I can't believe I didn't find it sooner) but it wasn't enough to get us even remotely buzzed or relaxed. In defiance of our parents, we exclaimed, " **** the dishes! let it rot in the sink until tomorrow in all of our procrastinating glory!" We stayed up til 5 watching Waterboy and various other shows that were...

Afterwards, I couldn't even smile. My friend Nunes ( Jeff) fell into hysterics at the thought. So could you imagine how I hysterical I looked upon discovering the wonders of YouTube? There are things on there that would have taken me a decade to find from other sources... I thought I had an impressive collection of radiohead video/video clips.. do you knwo what the fuck I found? I found the video for High and Dry... UK VERSION! (that's like trying to find a picture of Rachel Owen, only I did once and I felt really bad for that.. it was honestly accidently on an Italian fan website) Omg.. I can see why they don't go showing that UK version around anymore (I'm actually embarassed for Radiohead) and why it's virtually impossible to find ( actually.. it WAS possible to find.. virtually :P) ok that was geek humour. Anyhoo.. now with all these wonderful treasures at my fingertips, I'm crippled because I...

"How dare you molest the whole world?" the pirate replied: " Because I do it with a little ship only, I am called a thief; you, doing it with a great navy, are called an Emperor."

Example, I had a massive row with my parents infront of my grandma just now. Lemme break it down. Heat is skyrocketing in Toronto, we had a record high last night and there were reports that all these seniors were taken to hospitals becuase of the weather. Being concerned, I drove all the way over to my grandparents apartment to DRAG them back to our house which has AC. I asked them to stay one more night tonight just to be safe but they are so damn stubborn my grandfather slipped away when no one was looking. As upset as I was, I agreed to take my grandmother and drop her all the way home but my father, being the callous, inconsiderate neanderthal that he is, said, " why not drop her at the bus stop like she suggested?" This is not the first time he's done shit like this. Almost everytime I offer to drive my grandfather...

I got to go to main street with jobo, trelly and lisa where we got hammed, made this guy ( Paul from Macedonia) sit and entertain us while we were drunk on the street. I ended up sleeping over at Jo's and went to the mall the next day to get some greasy food in clothes that I wore the day before and slept in :s That night, I hear from my friend Ray, Rachelle and H ( separately). Rachelle and I decide to go downtown and drink wine. My poor, unsettled stomach was abused yet again by Pinot Grigio ( my first white wine experience I believe) and a hot dog from the stands cuz I was too impatient to wait and eat at the lounge. Oh and Crispers. Somewhere between all that I was trying to keep up with my father drinking soju during dinner.. oh man.. I feel like I'm the colour green! I was thinking about setting my friend Rachelle up with H but now I have some reservation. He expressed to be that he likes waifs and keeps ...

I can't stand this place anymore. I've decided that I want to end up in the UK, rainy as it is and, it seems, lacking dental care facilities, I still plan to go there and pay twice as much for everything I'm paying now just so I can surround myself with ppl who talk charmingly funny and create beautiful music. I still have no idea how I plan to do this. Perhaps I will pursue PhD there? MD? Oh.. and if the Artic Monkeys or the stupid Muse beat out Thom Yorke for the Mercury prize, I'm going to Africa. tchocky Thu, 27 Jul 2006 08:03:50 +0200 http://www.blogigo.co.uk/ilovetchocky/UK-it-is/207/ http://www.blogigo.co.uk/ilovetchocky/UK-it-is/207/ Someone up there really really really really REALLY REALLY REALLY wants me to live an abnormally virtuous and honest life... I SWEAR! I don't know whether to receive such events as blessings in disguise or punishment intended for amusement to the gods... in any case, I'm starting very much to feel like a pawn that just CAN'T MANAGE to escape the potentially escapable.. I don't know when my usually good luck turned to shit #@$!$%!#%$ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! too angry to talk tchocky Thu, 27 Jul 2006 00:49:06 +0200 http://www.blogigo.co.uk/ilovetchocky/Oh-for/206/ http://www.blogigo.co.uk/ilovetchocky/Oh-for/206/ Party was a blast.. I was sooo smashed off my face.. and walked away with 3 more goodie bags than the rest, courtesy of the hosts, for my efforts in entertaining the bunch despite my inebriated state..or maybe that was what was so entertaining.. But really, I'll talk about that another time if I feel like divulging details. I'm just posting something up for the fans A 53-minute documentary on Radiohead OK Computer will be released on September 19th, entitled "Radiohead: OK Computer - A Classic Album Under Review". A press release from MVD Visual claims it includes never before available material on DVD. "The DVD also includes rare musical performances such as live and studio versions of each song on OK Computer, and Creep from Pablo Honey. It's packed with obscure footage of comments, criticisms and insights on every track from the album by; writer, journalist, and author of Radiohead: A Guide To Their Music, Mark Paytress; respected rock authority and ex-Mojo editor,...

Sooo cute. I bet they'll get married. Two 6 foot tall, good looking russian kids. Anyways.. change of plans. Of course, I have to do something for my parents tomorrow.. they are so annoying. They always do this as if our plans don't matter. Once Erica was going to go to her uni to do some bill paying for her house next year and shit and at 5 am my mom wakes her up after she went to bed at 2am to tell her what she needs to have done that day. Fuck! So I flew off the handle and my mom starts barking at me because my father is with a guest and he probably heard me angry on the phone. But I feel bad for my dad.. it's not his fault really.. I'm venting at him because of my mom. I just bursted " WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME WHERE I'M GOING...

I was intrigued.. I've always wanted to play the market but I had no idea what Nasdaq, Dow Jones or NYSE, TSE meant. Well I registered for a 2 hour seminar and dragged my little sister with me as all my friends had other, more exciting plans this evening. I don't expect them to understand why I'm interested. In any case, I'm really glad I went. I can't wait to start exercising it although I really want to take the full course that includes simulations and such. Only I'll be back at the shithole of all shithole places next year doing my Masters and will not be able to exercise my trading capabilities :( I really think I'm business savvy and am really excited at the prospect of making money off FOREX.. they trade trillions of dollars worldwide IN ONE DAY! oh.. too long to explain but DON'T INVEST IN MUTUAL FUNDS!

I wont' even get into that. I like him but fuck is he ever annoying.. he's just a big bag of wind that guy.. expert on everything he knows nothing about. I've started to see this in my mother.. I don't know how I didn't see it before.. it must be from my mother's side of the fam.. although my grandfather.. he ACTUALLY is ALWAYS right.. :) Next are my stupid bosses..THEY REALLY TAKE THE CAKE!.. I'M SO UPSET.. i swear Lemme tell you two fun things I had to go through.. Ok.. so the mini field trip to the sugar museum.. WHAT IS THE POINT OF MAKING ALL THE CHILDREN'S PARENTS BRING CAR SEATS WHEN YOU WON'T EVER STRAP THEM IN PROPERLY? Would you like to know how my bosses do it? They stack the child's seat on top of the car seat see... and then, they bring the car seat belt and put it over the kid without securing the child seat to the car seat.. I find this very contrary TO THE POINT OF THE CARSEAT YOU SEE.. DON'T YOU!? In...

Then, as I left the building I was accosted by this man in a Mercedes just outside. I think he must have been atleast 10 years older than me. He whistled and I looked over at him wondering what he was whistling at. I hadn't even showered yet, I had no make up on, I wore my glasses and track pants with a green top -- in other words.. I was so ugly.  Then I stopped walking and he stopped driving. Then, I started walking again and he started driving. I don't remember the rest but I remember thinking " god, he must get laid by really stupid gold-diggers all the time" because his attitude was that he was rich, alright looking, why wouldn't I? Similar to his reasoning that I'm a girl, I've got boobs, why wouldn't he? Because really, I'm ugly today.  Are standards so low now that all we need to ask ourselves is " why not?" to consider dating someone? I seriously hope not. Although I am a bit of a...

I just can't seem to calm myself. I have to constantly preoccupy myself with SOMETHING.. and not just menial tasks.. menial tasks can't prevent me from thinking too much and inevitably I'll forget what task I'm performing and injure myself. I mean I have been playing guitar, reading oodles of books, I can't stop myself from doing something and when I'm not doing anything, I feel totally lost. Maybe I've become extremely efficient in just a short amount of time and this is something to be celebrated.. On the other hand, I was watching Oprah the other day, and she thinks ( and yes, Oprah is a guru for u non-believers) that this stress is brought on by some form of depression. Why the hell would I be depressed? Maybe I'm depressed cuz all my close friends are really busy or out of the country.. still doesn't explain anything. This feeling coincides with the time right around when I started working... do I really hate my job that much?...
