So, These Chocolate Bars Help Fight Terrorism?







It's the beginning of the summer and the rest of my life, and sitting around watching movies and sleep all day, I suddenly feel like a lazy Eric Foreman (a nerd who isnt even smart), the year he took off not working or going to school and sitting around in his basement back in the seventies. You know, before he went to medical school, got a job with House and became black.

I have a business idea. The Art House, a revival movie house, that would play the kind of movies that Elwy Yost used to play on TVO's Saturday Night At The Movies which my family used to watch together each saturday night when I was growing up. The program today is rampantly disappointing me and my father with movies from the nintie, whereas there was a time when a eighties movie was rare.
The theatre would play only best classic and obscure gem you couldn't see anywhere else. The place would have a vintage dress code of the era of the night, as well as a mini-dress-up room where you can rent costumes and a vintage boutique where you can buy them. Dinner would be served, fitting with the night's flick and after and before the show, the ballroom would host a dance with music of the era. It should be like going back in time.
It would be a Grand theatre with gold and brass and red curtains and a balcony for sitting. There would also talks about the movies before they start, as well as discussion sessions. I would love to go to this place, I think some people love it too.
My Marie Antoinette dream:

I wake up in my ordinary room, gets up and finds I am in classic Antoinette garb, hair, etc.
My bedroom walls fall away replaced by a glass ceiling, walls and floor, all showing beautiful views of sky and what looks like flying over Versailles. The door begins to glow and I stumble to it opening it to find myself dressed in what looks like the blue dress, in the middle of a long row of apartments/ houses that look like Soho. There is a long red carpet stretching through the street. As I walk down the carpet, people dressed as wolves and foxes (masks) in waistcoats and gowns throw rose petals on either side. At the end of the carpet there is an abyss and the floor falls away. She falls down what seems to be a rabbit hole, suddenly wearing coronation garb. All around my there are different disembodied voices screaming insults and testimonies, false accusations and pamphlet stuff. I fall landing on a giant pink frosted cake. My clothes become covered in cake. People, who now look like an angry mob of peasants with torches, pitchforks, etc. They are all screaming “let them eat cake.” Suddenly, now in a plain white dress, I am on a scaffold. I cannot move at all, I try. They pelt me with fruits, vegetables, etc. (but they land as neon colored paint balls). Then the scaffold floor falls away and turns into water which they stand on. Reflected in the water is Versailles, suddenly it is on all 4 sides and courtiers, the king, Fersen, Labelle, Polinac, etc. are there in finery, standing against the walls while the peasants stand right against the scaffold with guillotine. The Versailles walls move in and the crowds of peasants and courtiers mingle. They all begin to laugh and suddenly the guillotine clangs down, and with a jolt, I wakes up in her own bed.

I'm The Type Of Girl Who Can Watch Hours Of Horror Movies And Not be Scared But Screams Bloody Murder When The Toast Pops Out Of The Toaster


Apparently I am endearingly charming. Who knew?

1 When I was little, I used to spend hours on the swing set in my backyard, trying the swing high enough to fly.

2 I have a ridiculous amount of purses and shoes, yet sometimes I get the feeling that if they were all to suddenly disappear, I wouldn’t care. Almost as if I only have things because I feel like I’m supposed to.

3 I love being driven around, and sticking my head out the passenger side window and feeling the wind on my face and in my hair, I even like it when its snowing.

4 I am the messiest, most disorganized person ever, and I have no intention to change, whatsoever. I’ve actually gotten to the point where I am amused, by it all.

5 I still watch cartoons sometimes, and often get way too involved with them.

6 Sometimes I wonder if we could just be characters in a movie, book, or TV show, and some author somewhere is writing our lifes, as a story, and if they`re laughing at our pathetic attempts to find meaning. Or if the entire world is just a dream. Who’s dream it is, I really have no idea.

7 I think in terms of movies, seeing everything as scenes and needing the music that is playing to perfectly sync up to what is going on, or to what I’m feeling, like a soundtrack.

8 I have extremely vivid dreams, that alternate from being impossible fairy tale-type things, and being so close to real life that for days afterwards, I am unsure whether or not it actually happened.

9 I desperately want bright yellow walls, and big, bright windows. I am also hopelessly obsessed with kitsch, loving things that look like things, such as my chocolate bar mirror, bright colours and wild patterns, and little desk toys.

10 I love big funny words, like zeitgeist, sycophant and oxymoron and make a point of using them, even when they don’t apply. When I was little, I invented my own words, like Hilo (Hi and Hello), and Cha-Chos (how I said Chaos).

11 I don’t like they type of foods (like steak, or any type of poultry), served at any fancy meals, or special occasions, and sometimes I think it would be very easy for me to be a vegetarian.

12 I love dressing up in costume, and still play dress-up, making characters out of my own clothes, when I need to cheer-up. I also have a penchant for winged eyeliner.

13 I am weirdly superstitious about some things, needing anything with a number to be one of my three lucky numbers (3,6,9)or a combination of them. I also have a lucky necklace and bracelet, that I have to wear when I’m worried about something. I also, try to find significance in everything, finding that whenever I just heard about something or am interested in a certain topic, it or things related to it, appear everywhere, or that if I did something one day and a certain thing happened, then if I do it again, the same thing will happen again.

14 I constantly fall for the villains or anti-heroes in stories, finding them more interesting and endearingly flawed, then the heroes who are often boring one dimensional characters.

15 Thanks to my Dad, my childhood memories are mainly focused around on three things: Batman (I was Batgirl, now I`m more Harley Quinn), Records and the Beatles. I was also obsessed with The Last Unicorn and The Wizard of Oz.

16 I actually prefer simple daisies and dandelions to big expensive bouquets. I love it when it the spring, the field in front of BR is full of golden dandelions, and looks like the yellow brick road, and then In summer, is full of their wispy ghosts, that you can pick and make wishes on.

17 When I was little, I wholeheartedly believed in Unicorns, Fairies, and Mermaids.

18 Sometimes i wonder if I am really as grown-up and capable of taking care of myself as I like to think. Sometimes, i still feel like a little girl who was forced to grow up, and like I missed something important.

19 I seriously envy those characters in fiction, who can just leave everything in the middle of the night, put of long cloaks and go on quests or have fantastic adventures.

20 I want to be part of some big movement or revolution, or some interesting pop culture event that becomes part of history and that everybody`s kids learn about in school.

21 Whenever I go to sleep I feel like I am wasting time, and that i should be doing something else. I love staying up really late, until everyone else has gone to sleep and I feel like I am alone in the world, or like I am watching it from somewhere else.

22 I love that moment, when in an airplane, you are taking off and the ground feels like it is disappearing under your feet. I always take my shoes off and feel the ground under my sock feet. I also really like motorcycles. I actually wish I had enough courage to get one, one day. It just seems so free.

23 I am both extremely scared and incredibly excited to go away to school next year, I`m getting worried about starting all over (again).

24 I come off as a very timid, shy person on first impression, but if you get to know me, I really never shut-up (then you wish I was shy).

25 I love to laugh, (Hi, ten minute laughing fit) it is one of the best feelings ever, like letting your guard down and letting everyone see the real you.
