So I made a fender for my bike, it's been raining a lot and my fender works :D. Also permaculture is fun and interesting, I'm happy it's happening.
So on thursday I went over to Wednesday and L's house for movies, pancakes and a sleep over. Wednesday is cool as shit and had some friends from outta town over, but they didn't get back until after I played cards and talked and hung out with L and the other roomies. Also I have a huge crush on L (as well as everyone else in Montreal). Anyways, once Wednesday and his crew got back from where ever they were 9the park I think) we speculated about watching the movie, but didn't for hours, in the end L was kinda tired and said she would watch it in her room and possibly fall asleep; a plan that I thought was rad. I asked to join her.
So, turns out long movies are long, and we never got through the whole thing, just stopped after a while and pretended we wanted to sleep.
"do you wanna cuddle"
"yes please"
(maybe 15-30 minutes of caressing later)
"this is such a tease"
"I guess we could kiss or something"
being serious and not silly isn't that fun., or hot for that matter.
So i'm seeing someone new, which is fun and exciting, we talked about poly and L isn't sure what she's doing but is down with me seeing someone else and is in a situation of her own with someone else. I'm curious to see where this will go and am happy that it's happening.
Other activities of the weekend (all with Wednesday, L and Wednesday's outta town friends) include but aren't limited to:
hanging out in the huge clothes pile at eva b
me buying a sweater with only one sleeve and some holes in it for a dollar
kissing L
failed attempts at dumpstering
biking around (with an additional person on my bike at some points)
eating delicious foods
movies
cuddles
bitching about the rain
lots of laying around and being lazy
Oh also maybe gonna go to foufou's house tomorrow for foods, if I can wake in time.

triple party adventure
Last Friday Giggles and I and Foufou went on a rad party spree hitting three parties in one night. We met up in front of McGill at around 7.45 and all biked into Point St-Charles (which is much closer than I though) for a potluck/party.
The food was super delicious and there was gummy candy, gummy candy so delicious Foufou broke her vegan to eat some, I'd break vegan all the time if I was a vegan (I've come to accept that as much as I hate the word I most definitely am a freegan). We didn't really cook anything but we rolled in with a small tub of yogurt and some eggs that we gave the hosts who found that to be quite amusing. We ate lotsa candy (and vegan burritos) socialized with some fun peeps and drew on our own knuckle tattoos, mine said FUCK YEAH. We decided to leave after someone with a ton of allergies drank some peanut drink and had to go to the hospital.
We pulled up to a building in a fancy neighborhood and locked up our bikes outside. We tried getting in but were stopped by the locked front door. We walked around and contemplated climbing up the fire escape but decided against it since we didn't know which apartment the party was in. We walked back to the front and conveniently some other guests were waiting out front so we joined them and shortly someone came out to open the door for us. The party was alright. People were dressed up pretty fancily and the music was dancy, however no one was dancing! After to much not dancing we filled Foufou's back pack with beers (and a juice for me) and left through the fire escape, weeee! On our way out we saw a friend in the street and helped them up the fire escape for a more dramatic entrance.
By this time Kunoichi had texted us the address to an Arabian nights themed party which had dancing, fire spinning and all sorts of craziness. We started biking over but my bike broke down.
Luckily Foufou had a wrench in her bag under all the beer (and juice) so we made a pit stop and I fixed up the bike. Also the ridiculous amounts of beer crushed the almond milk in foufou's bag so she chugged it while I fixed up. We took off again once we were both done and then after a bit more searching and door bell ringing got into the party.
It was like, dead zone, a bunch of hippies dressed as gypsies being kinda boring. At least Kunoichi was there and we hung for a bit but then left out of boredom. On the way back Giggles and I found a sidewalk with cracks in it that was spewing water which was pretty cool.
Also I found two bandanas on the floor outside, I kissed someone new (again, yea I know...) and I'm moving into a new house, but that's from a different nights.

Attend parties
Go to boring parties
Crash better parties
???
PROFIT!
Last night a few of us went to a dance party, it was fun and full of hotties and for a while it was good. However time (and what I consider bad DJing) led to more relaxing and tranquil music which combined with the trickling decline in hottie presence led to me and Kunoichi deciding to leave with Giggles and a friend (Foufou). However when we crossed the street to unlock our bicycles we heard yelling/singing coming from a nearby apartment and saw dancing silhouettes. Foufou and I joked about the idea of simply showing up to said party.
Soon enough we were crossing the street and discovering that the door was in fact unlock and very much open. All four of us climbed the stairs feeling kinda nervous and met a pile of shoes and shortly after a girl in a green dress, we told her that we heard her party from outside and wanted to party with them.
So we're all dancing it up on the dance floor and it slowly dawns on us that we've stumbled into a group of tight knit friends that probably think we're weird as fuck (and maybe a lil sketchy). As we realized how akward we seemed and how strange we felt we left.
But if anything the criminal maxim from Evasion came to mind, "the victory is in the attempt!"

Long week!
Saturday was a protest march against the austerity measures being taken by the Quebec government. 10 people were arrested before it even started and charged with conspiracy and possession of a weapon, for sitting on the grass and wearing black. On Monday there was a march to the municipal court and the palais de justice to demand their release. The 10 had their court date that day at 2pm but I didn't make it, I ended up falling asleep at home.
Later that evening I went to UQAM with Dreads and met with Cinema Politica there and watched Dive which is a fun documentary about dumpstering. Dreads and I brought a whole box of found cheese and some others had prepared fruits, vegetables, muffins and dips (all dumpstered). The movie was ok I had seen it before with my parents but I enjoyed it still, there was a quick discussion afterward, which was interesting.
Later in the night I went to Katakombes with Chef and Crow, once we got there we ran into Rainbow and Crass. There were lots of awesome bands (five played that night, all for Radical Queer Semaine), I really liked the Sissy Fist (check out their song welfare http://www.myspace.com/sissyfist) and the Mistake Makers (http://www.myspace.com/mistakemakers). The night was rad, there was good moshing and I ran into a bunch of friends through out. I even kissed someone!
Woke up today, kinda worried. Today was the march in protest of police brutality. Last time I went I just managed to not get arrested (mostly by running through alleys and a bit of climbing). I talked to Kunoichi and we got ready to meet everyone (she took forever, bleh). Dreads was there, as were, Rainbow, Crass, a friend we met recently Kunoichi and I, we got into pairs (I was with Dreads) then headed off.
Once there we mostly stuck to our pairs. There was less people than we expected. Once we started marching things were going fine, and people were chill. However once we arrived on St Denis the cops kettled the majority of the crowd. Stuck between two lines of riot cops people threw projectiles and demanded to be let out. Cops completely ignored the demands, held up their shields and shot off a few stun grenades, yay cops, the kings of douchebaggery!
Luckily a apartment building that was between the two lines was opened somehow and by running through the parking garage and back up some stairs one could arrive into an alley behind the building :D
Some running ensued, a fence was climbed, friends were joined in the process and not long after we had made good our escape (not all of us mind you, at least a hundred people were arrested).
Dreads, the two friends we ran into and I went back to the house and ate and tried to figure out what happened to our friends. After a while everyone went home tired. Final results:
Everyone is free
Rainbow and Crass (and Igs who showed up during the march) were held in the kettle and dropped off at random points in the city and fined $488.
Our friends' friends are fine, as am I and Dreads is good too.

as of late
What's been up lately?
Well sat was a protest against budget cuts/austerity, which was followed by tabling with Rainbow and Crass and some other peeps. Watched Indiana Jones with the Mount Olympus crew and then rolled off to Giggle's house for food and sewings. All in good fun.
On Friday me and CHG went dancing which was good times I ran into Pines there and we all tore apart the dance floor of course.
Sunday was pretty chill probably since I don't remember anything memorable except hanging out at a potluck dinner.
Yea, but uh, spring is showing it's face around these parts and that's making me smile and such :D

Parties and poly
Parties last night, one at Spaghetti's house and one here at the coop (I still haven't left). The thing at Spaghetti's house was a folk show, I didn't stay for the music but I did hang out with a lot of fun peeps. Spaghetti and I talked a bit ahead of time and she wanted to hit on a friend of her's from class who was coming over so I kinda stayed outta her way for that. I had great conversations with Flash, about projects and potental and the semi immediate future.
Me and him walked to the coop afterward and ran into a bunch of people there. The party was fuckin rad ass shit! At around 3 the cops came to break it up and kick everyone out, which only led to a temporary dispersal. I came back afterward, socialized a bit and then went to sleep in Igs room with a friend, Igs had passed out but we checked in with her and kept an eye on her the whole night and she was alright. I fell asleep trying to figure out how I felt about Spaghetti and her hitting on other people.
I thought I'd feel hurt, or something, but not really, I felt only a tiny bit uncomfortable and not much more. I read her blog earlier today (it's public and she knows I'm reading it, not some creepy status don't worry) and I don't think anything happened with her and her classmate...
Not sure if I'm actually relieved or if I'm iunno, don't care but in a live and let live way. Let it be know that I do give the proverbial fuck about Spaghetti, she is, very much an awesome person and I'm pretty excited about how much I like her.
Person who I shared a bed with/cuddled with last night was pretty cool and I'm not gonna pretend I don't have a crush on her (among so many others), aside from cuddling not much happened. I considered offering a kiss in the morning as she left but decided against it, I'm not sure how she feels about me and I know I'll run into her often enough that I only want to try that if I'm confident that it'll work out, can't go about losing cool people as friends just because I think they're cute.
Oh also I fixed a flat on my bike and am probably gonna move into the coop at some point in the summer or spring...

Jimbo's, departure and free stuff
I went to the doctor and got some antibiotics from a nearby pharmacy (along with some free condoms, I was running out). It's good I've been improving and don't feel nearly as sick and useless now.
Me and Green Boots went to Jimbo's to sleep a few nights ago, we watched "The Decline of Western Society III" up there until the laptop died. TKJ and Rainbow (they're together now, awwwww) met us up there a bit later with some food they dumpstered at the pharmacy. We ate and talked and listened to music after finding the right electrical outlets then slept.
We were awakened by the rain, me and Green Boots packed up our stuff and hid under the lip of the ventilation shaft until the rain got better than we all went down and ate a dumpstered breakfast at Concordia. Afterward TKJ and Rainbow headed to the coop. I met them there after stopping a bit at Kunoichi's place first.
TKJ was headed to Wal-Mart and Value Village I went with him because I'm an opportunist and he was going to find a pair of pants and return scam a U-lock. We took public transportation there which I thought was strange because I hadn't rode anything other than my bike for months. We got there and I was going to left hand a tarp but the cashiers were set up in a 3 by 3 square so there was no way to really pull that off so I aborted and decided to just take some halls for my throat instead. We went to Value Village after that, TKJ didn't find anything he wanted but I swiped a Splinter Cell book. We headed back to Wal-mart so TKJ could return scam a U-lock with his receipt while I read outside. It didn't work out security guard was on his ass and watching him trying to be discreet (good thing he sucked at that), so we bounced and decided to come back another day dressed clean cut.
We also went to sports experts and got a really good bike lock and tabled a small lunch in a mall before heading to the coop.
Ithaca was at the coop and we hung out a bit and then went over to Ice Cream's place to have dinner since it was Ice Cream's last night in Montreal, but not before hanging out in a playground and playing tag with Ice Cream's roomie as well. We dumpstered real fast and then cooked up a nice dinner and then hung around and slept.
Ithaca and I woke up to loud footsteps stomping around. Ice Cream had left early in the morning, we realized it was the guy who lived there who used to have a thing with Ithaca. After stomping around for a while while we were half asleep, he bitched at us about squatting (because you know, if you sleep over at a friend's place to see her off you're a squatter...) and kicked us out, wtf I don't even know this guy, but Ithaca has been telling him they should be just friends for a while now.
Whatever, we went to the coop and finished sleeping there and then messed around and showered. Not much happened in the day except we all went to the playground, it's fun now that Australia and TKJ live at the coop, everyone is around all the time. Rainbow showed up later and brought a friend with her who was visiting Montreal. They drank a bit and we hung out outside in the alley, when Australia went to get more beer I went with and brought back some free chocolate for everyone. After hanging out a bit I headed back to Kunoichi's place and dumpstered a ton of random stuff from the pharmacy on the way.
Honey
AAA batteries
an iPod Case
a bunch of juice boxes
some chocolate
various coffee stuff
pretzels
cookies
mixed berry apple sauce
brown rice
nuts
lip shimmer among other things...

Green Boots and Snot
It's annoying that I've been coughing for the last few weeks, I guess it's a testament to my immune system's strength that I haven't got any other symptoms of illness besides coughing. In the past few days I tried to take time off to recovery but I just got worse (that's what happens when you acknowledge your illness)...
Kunoichi has a friend over from Calgary, I'll call her Green Boots and she seems pretty down for like sleeping at Jimbo's, dumpstering, sewing shit up and generally being cool. She came to food not bombs today and was impressed apparently ours is better than the one in Calgary.
The cabaret was alright, well actually I can't honestly tell you I left during the second act which I thought was boring and I also just wanted to be home. Ithaca is gone for the weekend which also affects my decision to not sleep at the coop. I've been seeing her so often lately, but I only realized this weekend when she's gone...
I'm sleeping at home tonight and sleeping in tomorrow, I may or may not go to tam tams. Either way I wanna recover and get rid of this cold.
Plans to see Pagoda on Wednesday and plans to do a mission with Pines and Lil Jon soon, maybe on Thursday night.

A ridiculous amount of stuff
...that's what happened since the last time I posted on here...
Last Friday, I went out dancing with TKJ, Australia, Rainbow, and a friend from the coop. Ice Cream and Ithaca were going to come but they took a toke from Kusa when he smoked and Ithaca got super high and probably wouldn't be able to ride her bike so she stayed and Ice Cream told us they would meet us there later (pshh yea right).
We got the show (it was a hip hop/dubstep/dancehall show) and just danced until the place closed. TKJ got wasted and couldn't bike home so Rainbow and Australia walked him home, apparently that was a funny story. I got home to find Ice Cream and Ithaca sleeping on the bed, I slipped in and went to bed after a quick conversation about the night.
I woke up with Ice Cream already gone, she left us a note and we go up and got ready, eating a bit and searching the house for Ithaca's bike lock key. When all was in order we headed to the coop and hit up a store for food that couldn't be sold. By the time we finished Ice Cream had arrived at the coop and we were ready to go to her house pick up some last minute stuffs and then roll out. Some of the coopers were doing a fundraiser party so we helped them carry some things up the stairs, before we finished a bunch of kids arrived with Katimavik, ready to do food not bombs. No one else was around for food not bombs so we called TKJ and stayed with them until TKJ, Australia and Rainbow arrived. After that we fixed up a bikes a tiny bit and grabbed some water at Ice Creams and rode out.
We headed south until we hit the bridge and we crossed that, the weather was great and riding across the bridge gave us a nice view of the city (and some trains). We got to the island where la Ronde is and we climbed a bit of scaffolding until security told us to get down. Afterward we threw our bike over a few fences and rode for an hour or two then decided to set up camp when we hit the end of the road/a big fence.
We rode back a bit to find a nice spot and then locked up bikes. I started a small fire in my hobo stove and Ice Cream and Ithaca set up the tent when it started to get dark since we were camping on private property. The hobo stove was pretty shitty in terms of getting really hot with the wood I was putting in it since it didn't really turn to coal just ash, but we managed to cook some potatoes and eggplant that we dumpstered earlier. Ithaca and Ice Cream also brought some food so we ate dinner and just as we finished it began to drizzle. We got into the tent and rolled out the sleeping bags. It was a really tight fit, three people in a two person tent but we managed. I read aloud a bit, we played some talking games and hit the hay super early (probably around 8 or 9)...
Woke up and biked back to Ice Cream's after a small fruit breakfast. Once there we cooked up everything we didn't eat and had a nice brunch. I was tired from all the biking at that point so I rolled back to the coop a bit and started to head home afterward, but I decided to pass in from of TKJ's place for fun. Of course I ended up stopping in when I saw a bunch of bikes locked out front. Turns out Australia, TKJ, Rainbow were there along with a guy from the coop. They had dumpstered pasta and made tomato sauce and jam but it wouldn't be ready for a while. I was tired as shit but I hadn't had pasta in a really long time so I stuck around. We went to tam tams and I napped there on my sleeping bag and then we went back and ate the pasta and all that. I hung at TKJ's place until about 9 napping on and off. I left after that because I had to attend Pagoda's birthday.
I went home, checked the address and rode out on my bike. She was celebrating at Casa del Popolo which is a chill cafe/bar/venue where cool girls throw their birthday parties. Spent time talking to random people and just hanging out and eating delicious cake (you see Pagoda works at a bakery so she gets a free awesome birthday cake on her birthday, FO FREE!). People started leaving and I got to hang out with Pagoda one on one a bit which was nice. Later she recognized a guy she saw on the bus once back home and we went and talked to him and his crew, turns out they were a punk band that had just played at the venue next door. I talked to one of the guys about ABC No Rio and New York in general because he had played a show there a while ago. Was an interesting evening, nothing too crazy, but I was tired from the long weekend anyways. At the end of the night I kissed Pagoda good night, said peace to the punk band and got to take the rest of the cake home.
Monday morning; cake for breakfast, best breakfast ever. Went to my last class this semester and then headed off to the People's Potato. Ithaca was there along with Rainbow and Australia. We ate and headed to TKJ's place. Me and Rainbow stopped at the sporting goods place to receipt scam the bike lock she bought from there last week. It went down pretty smoothly. At TKJ place we sewed stuff up and ate dumpstered food. I don't remember the rest of the day, cept hanging out in a playground a bit. At night though we hung at the coop and on the way there we dumpstered and I finally glued up the new lock on the compactor (it's still there by the way, they haven't done anything about it...).
Not too sure what happened during the week nothing spectacular or particularly memorable, just hanging with Ithaca at the coop (apparently people have been complaining that we we're loud when we have sex, that we leave the door open and that we have sex in the shower too much, none of which is true, but I'll explain that later). Kunoichi got hurt a while ago but she's doing alright, I've been dropping food off on and off for the last few days which results in cool food being made by either me or Kunoichi and her roomies. Sleeping at her place and the coop.
On Friday I went swimming with Ice Cream and Ithaca. Ice Cream practiced her lifeguarding stuff on us and we played around in the pool. After hanging in our sex's saunas we met up upstairs and headed to the coop. The bike ride back to the coop resulted in us arriving soaked in rain. The only solution of course was to strip down and shower up, which we did. Ice Cream Left the shower before Ithaca and I did and didn't lock the door, the door mind you can only be locked from the inside and can't really close unless it's locked. A cooper stuck her head in and saw me and Ithaca showering (and doing just that and not much else) and complained about it later (hence my above comment about sex complaints, none of which are true). We were gonna stay in and sleep but instead a girl from the coop convinced us to go dancing. The first club we went to had a really Euro feel but we didn't like the music so we went to another place and danced until it closed then went back to the coop. We were pretty tired and ready to head to bed when a few (three) coopers came back from what I can only assume was a crazy night (involving a metal show and a strip club and some drugs). At first we weren't sure what they did but they told us a bit. They had come in with a friend, apparently he had brought some crack and was going to take it upstairs, when another cooper found out he headed up. We were all chilling on the couches downstairs and didn't really think twice about it, except discussing that crack was a shitty drug and it would fuck you up and all that. A bit later the guy comes back downstairs with a 40 in one hand and a hammer in another, he said "the guy upstairs" scared him. He was super paranoid and kept asking us where the front door was even after we told him. He got more and more antsy and started to open bedroom doors to find a way out and freaked out a sleeping cooper. The cooper who went upstairs when he found out about the crack came down and took charge, he told us all to get to one side of the room and for the crack guy to leave, he eventually did but not before we had a few scares with the hammer. Crack sucks...
Next day hung out with Ithaca a lot and we went to a show at Katacombs in the night. Ice Cream was supposed to meet us but never showed. The show had the Chaotic Insurrection Ensemble (an anarchist marching band), Micro Armee (a French hip hop group with b-boys, rappers, singers and beatboxers) and a samba collective whose name I forgot. We didn't stay 'til the end because we got tired, we went home cooked up some stir fry and then hit the sack. The next day we dumpstered a ton on breakfast and lunch and made lots of foods. After breakfast we watched two movies about sex and sex culture. Stayed home a bit then headed over to Kunoichi's for ice cream and pie, ended up sleeping over, Guts was there and he slept over as well.
Next day, lots of cooking and hanging out. Australia called and they were all at TKJ's house, I went over to hang since she's leaving on a bike trip, and we went to play tag and grounders at a playground across the street, good times but I realized I'm not as stealthy and fast as I used to be...
Exam tomorrow off to pretend that I'm studying.
Last Friday, I went out dancing with TKJ, Australia, Rainbow, and a friend from the coop. Ice Cream and Ithaca were going to come but they took a toke from Kusa when he smoked and Ithaca got super high and probably wouldn't be able to ride her bike so she stayed and Ice Cream told us they would meet us there later (pshh yea right).
We got the show (it was a hip hop/dubstep/dancehall show) and just danced until the place closed. TKJ got wasted and couldn't bike home so Rainbow and Australia walked him home, apparently that was a funny story. I got home to find Ice Cream and Ithaca sleeping on the bed, I slipped in and went to bed after a quick conversation about the night.
I woke up with Ice Cream already gone, she left us a note and we go up and got ready, eating a bit and searching the house for Ithaca's bike lock key. When all was in order we headed to the coop and hit up a store for food that couldn't be sold. By the time we finished Ice Cream had arrived at the coop and we were ready to go to her house pick up some last minute stuffs and then roll out. Some of the coopers were doing a fundraiser party so we helped them carry some things up the stairs, before we finished a bunch of kids arrived with Katimavik, ready to do food not bombs. No one else was around for food not bombs so we called TKJ and stayed with them until TKJ, Australia and Rainbow arrived. After that we fixed up a bikes a tiny bit and grabbed some water at Ice Creams and rode out.
We headed south until we hit the bridge and we crossed that, the weather was great and riding across the bridge gave us a nice view of the city (and some trains). We got to the island where la Ronde is and we climbed a bit of scaffolding until security told us to get down. Afterward we threw our bike over a few fences and rode for an hour or two then decided to set up camp when we hit the end of the road/a big fence.
We rode back a bit to find a nice spot and then locked up bikes. I started a small fire in my hobo stove and Ice Cream and Ithaca set up the tent when it started to get dark since we were camping on private property. The hobo stove was pretty shitty in terms of getting really hot with the wood I was putting in it since it didn't really turn to coal just ash, but we managed to cook some potatoes and eggplant that we dumpstered earlier. Ithaca and Ice Cream also brought some food so we ate dinner and just as we finished it began to drizzle. We got into the tent and rolled out the sleeping bags.

Pillows, drums and the letter S
The pillow fight was awesome! TKJ and Australia showed up at my place with Australia's friend in tow and we headed to the fight on foot. We waited around and slowly the square filled with anxious people clutching pillows. The original plan was to have a signal to spark the fight but forget that; these two girls holding pillows crossed paths, looked each other in the eyes and started hitting each other with pillows and then the surrounding area filled itself with pillow fighters. As the fight went on there were lulls and peaks and a lot more people showed up throughout, Guts came, Thief came, Pines and V showed, Lil Jon was there, Rainbow was there as well, she's a girl who was at the Bike against the Pipe Protest and has started to chill with us, we had a decent group. The pillow fight was pretty wild, we drew a crowd of spectators and when we took a "nap" they thought it was appropriate to clap which was funny. The pillow fight was a great success, no mess at the end, no cops to shut anything down, just good times with strangers in the city.
After the pillow fight we (TKJ, Australia and her friend, Lil Jon, V and I) dumpstered at the fruit dumpster and at Tim Horton's, found a ridiculous amount of food and cooked up vegetables and made jam and ate pastries. Good times were had. After a bit Lil Jon and V split off and we headed to the coop.
There we watched an awesome documentary on the transition movement, we watched it outside projected onto a screen (illegally blocking off the alleyway with a dumpster). After the movie me and Ithaca took a nap and then a bunch of use went dancing at around 2 in the morning. At the club this guy would occasionally join us and dance really crazy, it was pretty entertaining, I was a bit confused though when he put my head into his shirt.
The original plan was to go sleep on the mountain after dancing, but we stopped at TKJ's place to eat a bit then we would head to the mountain but after food people got lazy but we still managed to leave. We left in two groups; Australia went home with friend to pick up sleeping bags, me, Ithaca, TKJ and Guts left straight to the park. We got there and waited a bit but TKJ got impatient and left with Guts about two minutes before Australia got there. Australia left with her friend when she found out that TKJ and Guts left, so in the end only me and Ithaca slept on the mountain.
We walked up the mountain a bit and found a spot we thought was secluded and nice and lay out our sleeping bags, Ithaca's couldn't close so we opened mine and used her's as a blanket and fell asleep. We woke up the next day and realized we weren't as invisible as we thought as bikers and joggers went past us, most didn't notice but we got a few odd looks, nothing more than that though.
Sleeping in the first S. The second S is sex but that didn't happen, I did end up fingering Ithaca before we headed down to the Tam Tams, it was kinda an urge I had and she was cool with it so we had a good time.
Tam Tams was fun stuff. We met up with Guts, Rainbow, TKJ, Australia and her friend as well as some other peeps I don't really know. We danced to the drumming, did some of the sword fighting stuff and just lay around in the sun.
Later that evening we went to the coop (all of us) and did a ton of sewing (the third S), Rainbow made herself a nice buttflap. I fell asleep with Australia's friend and Ithaca on Ithaca's bed, Australia sleep over as well, Rainbow left around 7 in the morning and TKJ left around 12ish.
Woke up, just me and Ithaca, Australia was gone. We messed around in bed a bit, headed to the roof and did the same, tried having sex in the shower but failed miserably and ended up doing stuff on the floor instead. Not much done that day except the three Ss (sleep, sex and sewing). I finished Ithaca's buttflap and the day kinda flew by.
Next day we headed to the People's Potato and met up with everyone, I told Ice Cream I was sleeping with Ithaca as well (they know each other and I don't want to build tension) and she was alright with it. after eating the three of us headed to McGill to hand out surveys for Ice Cream's research methods class, then got ice cream with a friend we ran into. We wanted to sleep at Jimbo's but it rained so we just slept at Ice Cream's and watched a movie.
The next day was BBQ. We had dumpstered a ton of food after leaving McGill and we found a bit more and brought it over to Ice Cream's and people started showing up and fires got hot and food was eaten, it was good times.
The night ended with everyone chillin in the coop then heading home. Ithaca came home with me since I felt sleeping in my own bed (no idea how long it's been since I did that) so we slept here then went to the potato. Came back here, rolled out quickly to help Rainbow buy a bike now I plan on doing nothing productive all day except catching up with Lost and reading and being lazy...

Update I guess
Turns out being cold in -15 weather is normal if you're wearing a tank top and a sleeveless, so I'm comforted knowing that. Stuff with Ice Cream is good, we've talked a bit and we've agreed to be something along the lines of "friends with benefits" or "fuck buddies", which is fine with me, and works for her since she isn't into "pda" (public display of affection). Going to a show with Pagoda Wednesday after hanging with my old theatre class, looking forward to that. There's some talk about replacing a highly visible roof flag with another one, that's probably gonna involve Pines and Lil Jon. Didn't really need to sabotage a lock that was on a dumpster, when we got there with the glue the lock was already gone :D Dumpstered with Australia and TKJ brought back some nuts, chocolate, chips etc, just junk food from the pharmacy dumpster, which is new and shiny and unlocked on the sides, so no more night runs squeezing underneath the lid. Life is good. Been hanging with Ithaca a lot lately she's pretty chill and seems like she's usually down for adventures, she lives at the coop and is big into Food not Bombs.

Cold/Confused
Today was kinda shitty...
Last night was blanket forts at Ice Cream's place with a bunch of peeps, we played mafia, watched movies all the cool sleep over stuff. That was fine, stuff started to suck when we all had to wake early to eat breakfast and do stuff for Food Not Bombs, I like Food not Bombs but not in the morning early as shit. On it's own that woulda been fine, but the weather was something like -15 according to TKJ (who told me later). This threw me off, I'm used to wearing less clothing than most people feel is appropriate for whatever weather is at hand (well 'cept summer), so I was in a tank top and sleeveless hoodie and a pair of shorts when I opened the door to leave.
For the first time I was dressed in less than even I felt I should have been. I still did everything I was supposed to all day, Food not Bombs, lunch at the Potato, more FnB, skipped parkour, sorry Frozen Monkeys, too cold and tired.
Cold, I've realized that I've developed more than a physical resiliency to the cold, I actually can't feel it that much, on the bike I didn't have any gloves, but as we moved I felt my hands get number and less coordinated but never really colder, I have to be careful with this. When I got inside it took a good 10-15 minutes to get my full coordination back into my hands (including my pinky, it took longer because it got frost bite last year when I trained with training crew).
I of course didn't take the time to think it was actually cold and pushed myself thinking that my cold tolerance was diminishing...
*sigh*
Ice Cream, I don't know what's going on with her. She wants to talk about what each of us wwant out of the friendship/relationship but we never got to it being a bit busy the whole day. I'm not sure what to think.

The Bonfire
I like hot weather.
Saturday was the first day of spring.
A while back I was talking to someone and I told them I'd make a fire on the first day of spring, that's just what I did. I even told people to come and enjoy it with me around 8ish.
V and Australia showed up first, I was dead tired when they arrived. Australia was supposed to bring wood but didn't, which made the night more fun in the long term. We napped for literally like 5 minutes then went outside and started the fire with cardboard and paper until I could add big wood that I had left over from the thanks giving fire. we sat around a bit, V went to go grab some marshmallows at a store and I dumpstered wood from across the street (through out the night I would dumpster wood to keep the fire up usually with Dreads). People started to trickle in as time went by, you have to walk down an alleyway to get to where the fire pit is so I left a note on the door (the alleyway is also where the back door to a club and a restaurant are). Everyone was here: Guts, Dread and his girlfriend and their Belgian friend, V, Australia and a friend of hers, Kunoichi and her whole house (four other girls), TKJ and three pals of his from outta town, Ice Cream, and a girl from the neighborhood that I don't hang out with too much.
We all hung around and I brought out the snacks: mini cookies, some pastries, a bag pretzels, candy canes and of course a bucket of frosting to top off whatever you're eating.
Everyone brought some awesomeness to the the fire that night. Some of the more visible awesome took place as follows;
Kunoichi fire span with her hula hoop to acoustic music from one of her roomies on the guitar, it was impressive.
Dreads juggled flaming pins despite being a bit tipsy, his ending was awesome, he vanished into the dark by swinging the flames out.
Three people brought guitars and those rotated between Kunoichi's house, TKJ's crew, Guts and Dreads and his girlfriend, needless to say vocals were switched off and combined through out as well.
V tap danced on some dumpstered wood but I missed it because I was showing someone where the bathroom was, but I heard it was good.
We all hung around the fire talking, Ice Cream tried to gain back some of the time I slept on her shoulder by doing the same time me, but I moved a lot, while talking and gesturing and tending to the fire :-/ At around midnight I get a text asking for the address but it was sent at around 10 so I feel bad and answer without knowing who it is, a bit later my neighbor arrives with a friend and they chill with us.
The night moseyed on and some people peeled off and some people got drunker from passing around tallboys and 40s. Two of TKJ's friends, the two girls were pretty drunk and they started drumming on the back door of a club next door to see if they could get in, we were all still around the fire when we see a bouncer stick his head out the door after they bang hard for a bit and he tells them something then slams the door. They tell us they wanna go clubbing and run out the alley to who knows where.
We keep the fire going, chilling and talking and laughing and making music, when the two girls come back, I thought they danced in the club so I give them high fives for being drunk and awesome and not caring. Turns out coat check is $5 and cover is another $5 so they dropped off their coats and headed off, I wanted to go with as did TKJ and the third friend, I made sure people were watching the fire (Australia and Ice Cream). We walked around the block to a club, and watched as the bouncer turned TKJ's friends down despite their lack of coats. "we're too poor and ugly to get in",
Nah, "fuck that club!"
"yea fuck it!"
We all went back to the fire in a good mood. Wood had just run out when my neighbor Kouka-mono came out and chilled for a bit, he had a dead chair made of wood that he brought out to burn. Ice Cream was tired and wanted to crash the living room, but there weren't any covers so I told her take the bed I'll be up later and stayed out a bit longer with Kouka-mono because people were trickling out slowly until it was just us. Tired from a ridiculous week and an awesome night I decided it was time to bounce and hit the hay. Kouka-mono brought a bucket of water and poured the flames out. A huge cloud of steam appeared and we left quickly so we wouldn't be around if it caught people's attention.
Inside I felt the excitement of the night fade but it didn't disappear altogether. I undressed, got into pajamas and joined Ice Cream in bed. She was freezing so we unzipped the sleeping bag and used it as a second blanket, then lay down and talked and cuddled. I really felt like kissing Ice Cream at one point but she beat me to it; as I was about to turn her head turned around and planted one on my lips! I was really happy with that and we kissed and cuddled until we fell asleep...
Saturday was the first day of spring.
A while back I was talking to someone and I told them I'd make a fire on the first day of spring, that's just what I did. I even told people to come and enjoy it with me around 8ish.
V and Australia showed up first, I was dead tired when they arrived. Australia was supposed to bring wood but didn't, which made the night more fun in the long term. We napped for literally like 5 minutes then went outside and started the fire with cardboard and paper until I could add big wood that I had left over from the thanks giving fire. we sat around a bit, V went to go grab some marshmallows at a store and I dumpstered wood from across the street (through out the night I would dumpster wood to keep the fire up usually with Dreads). People started to trickle in as time went by, you have to walk down an alleyway to get to where the fire pit is so I left a note on the door (the alleyway is also where the back door to a club and a restaurant are). Everyone was here: Guts, Dread and his girlfriend and their Belgian friend, V, Australia and a friend of hers, Kunoichi and her whole house (four other girls), TKJ and three pals of his from outta town, Ice Cream, and a girl from the neighborhood that I don't hang out with too much.
We all hung around and I brought out the snacks: mini cookies, some pastries, a bag pretzels, candy canes and of course a bucket of frosting to top off whatever you're eating.
Everyone brought some awesomeness to the the fire that night. Some of the more visible awesome took place as follows;
Kunoichi fire span with her hula hoop to acoustic music from one of her roomies on the guitar, it was impressive.
Dreads juggled flaming pins despite being a bit tipsy, his ending was awesome, he vanished into the dark by swinging the flames out.
Three people brought guitars and those rotated between Kunoichi's house, TKJ's crew, Guts and Dreads and his girlfriend, needless to say vocals were switched off and combined through out as well.
V tap danced on some dumpstered wood but I missed it because I was showing someone where the bathroom was, but I heard it was good.
We all hung around the fire talking, Ice Cream tried to gain back some of the time I slept on her shoulder by doing the same time me, but I moved a lot, while talking and gesturing and tending to the fire :-/ At around midnight I get a text asking for the address but it was sent at around 10 so I feel bad and answer without knowing who it is, a bit later my neighbor arrives with a friend and they chill with us.
The night moseyed on and some people peeled off and some people got drunker from passing around tallboys and 40s. Two of TKJ's friends, the two girls were pretty drunk and they started drumming on the back door of a club next door to see if they could get in, we were all still around the fire when we see a bouncer stick his head out the door after they bang hard for a bit and he tells them something then slams the door. They tell us they wanna go clubbing and run out the alley to who knows where.
We keep the fire going, chilling and talking and laughing and making music, when the two girls come back, I thought they danced in the club so I give them high fives for being drunk and awesome and not caring. Turns out coat check is $5 and cover is another $5 so they dropped off their coats and headed off, I wanted to go with as did TKJ and the third friend, I made sure people were watching the fire (Australia and Ice Cream). We walked around the block to a club, and watched as the bouncer turned TKJ's friends down despite their lack of coats. "we're too poor and ugly to get in",
Nah, "fuck that club!"
"yea fuck it!"

Sore Legs
Well the parkour on Friday was more intense than I thought it would be, my legs were sore the entire weekend, but that's partly due to the fact that I didn't give them any time to rest the whole time.
After parkour I went to Kunoichi's place to swing dance with the whole crew but there were tired so we watched a movie hung out and fell asleep, except I couldn't sleep so I slipped out, hopped onto the bike and headed to the burned up pharmacy to see what the deal was. I was happy to see that the dumpster was now much improved, without a lid and a lock getting in and digging around was that much easier, I left with a basket full of food and went back to Kunoichi's to sleep.
Wake, hang out a bit, go home, go to TKJ's place and from there we head out to Food Not Bombs.
It was a good time there, we dumpstered a ton of produce and cooked it all up; vegetable stir fry, spicy potatoes and fruit salad. I meet ran into a friend there (Australia) and met a cool girl there too. We served at Berri UQAM and then went back to the Co-op. There we hung a bit and then all split to go our own ways.
Pines was throwing a house party for St Patrick's day but it was meh so I rolled out early. I went to Australia's place. TKJ, Dreads, Guts, the girl from Food Not Bombs, Dreads' girlfriend and of course Australia, the best part was they were all on the balcony in the box fort that they had built earlier from dumpstered cardboard. We all slept outside that night under the cardboard and it was good. The rain and hail didn't get to us except a tiny bit on Dreads. Guts was also pretty sore from training and he went inside to sleep, a wise choice.
We followed up the good night with a fun day at Concordia eating free food from the People's Potato and listening to panel presentations on various social, political, economic and psychological issues. I was very tired at this point and me and the girl from FnB slept on each other's shoulders for a portion of the talks, which is too bad for two reasons:
They seemed interesting
I twitch and jerk when I sleep while trying to remain awake, even when that means hitting people with my head.
Afterwards we hit a few dumpsters on the way to Australia's house were we took down the fort, made smoothies and just hung til dinner which was also partly dumpstered, it's cool being with a crew that's down to hit dumpsters left and right for fun and practicality.
TKJ had left his bike helm at Australia's place so we brought it back to his house and kicked it there a bit before checking the pharmacy dumpster and splitting off home.
Of course, all transportation was achieved via bicycle so my legs never got a chance to recover from the parkour all the way and are still sore...
Will probably be at a protest against police brutality tomorrow with Australia, Dreads, TKJ and the girl from FnB (we'll call her Ice Cream).

Frozen Monkeys Unleashed
Had a great jam today with the Frozen Monkeys crew, we had Guts, Pines, V, and two new guys Lil Jon and Columbia. It was good times we were at McGill, we moved around the campus and jammed for maybe two hours, about halfway through we were working tic tacs and wall runs when we ran into Kunoichi's roomie who's friend joined us for the rest of the jam he found us online and I hope he keeps showing up.
We started with a warm up, did a bit of wall stuff and then went off to play tag at a new spot we found it was great times, after that we did wall runs where we added the new guy. We went back to playing tag and working at random spots around. We all parted a bit after it got dark. I wanna jam again next week since it was such good times.
I might go do some UE on Sunday with Pines and a friend of his.

Bags, donuts and awesome weather
As of late the weather's been great, sun, temperatures high enough to make the snow melt and of course tank tops. Dumpstering was slow for a bit but then it turned great; last night I found an abandoned MEC backpack, all black, big and covered in straps, I think I'll probably use it to travel this summer with Cipher. Really happy with it, took it home cleaned it in the shower and now it's good to go. Tonight I went to Thief's neighborhood and we dumpstered around there a while. For some reason the whole night felt as though we weren't getting anything useful but alas at the end of the night we emptied everything onto the table and it was covered and full of foody potential. Here's what I took home (double it approx to see the total of our finds, since Thief kept his share of course):
1/2 box of cherrios
2 pears
3 apples
1 bell pepper
1 bag of donuts
2 loaves of bread
4 bags of chips
8 baggies of small carrots
1 squash
1 jar of baby food (vegetables and pasta)
1 large flat bread
5 muffins
1 almond cake
1/2 a bottle of maple syrup
From what I can tell Thief's neighborhood is pretty cool, the spots are more spread out but they all provide if you dig a bit.
Also I did an awesome craigslist trade: 1 carton of dumpstered orange juice with lots of pulp for 15 cups of instant mac and cheese, not the healthiest and all but in terms of quantity it's well worth it, they guy who traded didn't have a microwave so the mac and cheese was of no use to him.
EDIT: I talked to Dreads on Tuesday and it turns out that he and Guts and this girl were diving at the pharmacy in the daytime and got ran off, Guts had ditched his bag and I found it, so I brought it back later. Too bad I didn't a free bag, but Guts got his back and it was cleaner that when he left it too lol.

Triumphant Return
I'm back in MTL. The city of course welcomed me back with open arms, nice events and great weather. It's so nice out I'm often in a sleeveless hoodie with a t-shirt. Acting on the nice weather I called up V and we did some parkour yesterday, it was good revisiting the old spots but there's still a bit of snow everywhere so it's annoying but not too problematic. My wall runs are ridiculous, I get really high but my climb ups and general upper body strength seem to have deteriorated, I'll get on that with push ups and sword conditioning. Have been dumpstering as usual, haven't bought food since... well honestly I don't even know when the last time I bought food is lol *shrug*
I got my housing situation pretty much figured out for next year but I'm unsure of exactly how I'm going to structure my summer.
