Thinking...

I've been thinking. And life is pretty good right now. Or it's going to be. It's not so great right at this moment, but I can see the future and the future is a wonderful place. I can't wait to see where it takes me.

Right now my life is kind of chaotic. I have lots to do before I move this week, I'm working at a porn shop in a less than nice area of town, my family is being a tad on the difficult side and my friends are entrenched in drama - not as much as the last few months, but it's still there. To top it all off, the emergency prescription for... whatever anti anxiety med I was on... that they gave me in the E.R. a few months ago is running out.

But I'm going to be moving home and bill free soon. In March I start school at Vancouver Institute of Media Arts to learn digital photography. I've started spending time with a VERY hot couple and an equally gorgeous single that has been leading to some interesting situations. My show starts next month and I think I've really got a chance to make it great. I've got a local gym that I'll be able to go to daily if I want to and hopefully WILL be going to daily, I'm making good money which is great for future usage.

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. And it's brilliant, blinding... incredible.

From the mouths of dykes...

On a quote from new book:

"Well that's pretty much what we said. 'Come over for dinner and movies' means the same thing as 'come over and I'll do terrible things to you' doesn't it?"

Cleaning...

I would like very much to have a magic wand so I might wave it around and have everything done please.

On top of everything I have left to do leading up to moving that the landlord requires (mainly vigorous scrubbing of all appliances and defrosting of fridge, vacuuming curtains etc.) I still have to:
clean the apartment
call the goodwill to haul away my ex boyfriend's furniture that he "gifted" to me so he didn't have to worry about it anymore
do half a zillion loads of dishes and laundry
send a bunch of furniture up to my sister
move the last remnants of it home
sort through dozens of boxes that never got sorted through before/after I moved because there was too much happening
decide when would be the least traumatic time to move my animals
figure out how to get blue hair dye courtesy of a ridiculous evening with Andrea and Robyn off of my bathroom ceiling (don't ask)
paint the second room at my mum's house
change the shower head and get mine installed in the bathroom at mum's house
talk John into letting me have the bathroom to myself
sort clothes into keep and give away piles
send clothes that are being given away to goodwill
make sure I haven't made any massive holes in the walls where I've hung art
if so, fix said holes
figure out how to hide the hole my rats chewed in the living room curtain or fix it

Oh and after I've moved everything and got myself settled... I have to pull off a drag show flawlessly mid September. And among all that I have to eat, sleep and work.
Gah.

Why didn't I think of this?

Despite that fact that I'm twenty years old and should have no apparent interest in the news, everyday I like to go to mytelus.com and check it out. Today, I had to share something, mainly because... it's insane!!!

Death row inmate Richard Cooey claims he's too fat to be executed

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLUMBUS, Ohio - A death row inmate scheduled for execution says he's too fat to be put to death, claiming executioners would have trouble finding his veins and that his weight could diminish the effectiveness of one of the lethal injection drugs.

Lawyers for Richard Cooey argue in a federal lawsuit that Cooey - five-foot-seven and 267 pounds - had poor veins when he faced execution five years ago and the problem has been worsened by weight gain.

The lawsuit, filed Friday in federal court, also says prison officials have had difficulty drawing blood from Cooey for medical procedures.

Cooey, 41, is sentenced to die for raping and murdering two young women in 1986. His execution is scheduled for Oct. 14.

Two years ago, convicted killer Jeffrey Lundgren was put to death after a federal appeals court rejected his claim that he was at greater risk of experiencing pain and suffering because he was overweight and diabetic.

Now, maybe it's just me, but maybe he should have thought of "pain and suffering" when he was, oh say, raping and killing those two university students? To be honest, even as someone who rallies against the death penalty, I'm beginning to think he deserves it on the grounds that he feels he deserves better than two girls who were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. If you read the article, this guy has already had his execution delayed AND he's put on more weight since then! Hmmm... think there's a strategy here? Here's an idea. Put him on a diet and exercise regime! It's a prison, it's not like he can't be closely monitored to make sure he's not breaking the rules.

You can read the whole article here

It really just makes me sick that he's had the chance to put on weight when they know that it could cause problems. I have always felt that criminals are treated far too well and while I don't agree that they should be put to death, I also don't agree that they should get a free education (see Clifford Olsen and Charles Manson, both have earned degrees while in prison, on tax payer money) better food than I get, and the chance to get out so quickly. I don't believe people who murder should EVER be released and Canadian law is far too good to criminals.

That's just my thoughts...
