if someone seems incapable of communicating earnestly, or uses earnestness to manipulate, they're probably not worth spending time around. that's what i know about relationships.

the first guy who introduced himself to me said matter of factly "so you're a student?" i guess it was because i was wearing a beisbol hat. i'm almost 34 years old by our garbage solar calendar.

then a nice lawyer woman said "I couldn't help but notice your cap. Many of us are also fans of the Blue Jays baseball team." What da fuckey? We're in Toronto. It's not like a Tokyo Japan Post Bank Ink-Ample Squids baseball hat.

Hitler is very similar to irony in that both were instrumental in shaping the modern world and both are actually good.

the woman who runs the psychoanalysis program seems hugely pissed at me because i emailed her a dozen times trying to clarify their admissions criteria. for example, they say you need to be a working professional with a minimum of a masters level education in a relevant field. i said, yes, but what if you're not a professional, or even working at all, and don't have a masters in any field. what then, ma'am. and this morning she said that, yes, they will consider my exceptional circumstances, and could let me in despite not having their requirements. so i fired off my application by courier and will now play hungry hungry hippos (simpsons ref') until they reject me. this is essentially how my week has gone with a few things lol.

anyshits,

i'm not depressed any more. i was worried i was manic but my therapist said she doesn't think so, she thinks i've just turned a corner. i've regained a lot of functioning. i'm also being very assertive. i will probably start working soon. i'm trying to convince a beginner's program in psychoanalysis to let me in for the fall. i've lost much of my social phobia and i'm much more able to engage in the world. i still get very anxious but it's bearable.



that's cool dude

In the Real Life:

This past week, while checking if books marked missing are in fact missing at the library, for the first time ever a prematurely declared lost title was discovered on the shelves: Go Down, Moses by William Faulkner

My existence is justified.

in other real life news, an org i was part of in the past emailed me yesterday to ask that I return a book (cyclonopedia, natch) I borrowed from their library... in 2013. i politely informed their librarian that it's been sitting on their shelves for over a year, I personally saw it there last time I was in the office. they're at the end of their term, so they've been in the position for 12 months and have apparently just now decided that they should maybe check on overdue books?

getting that narcissistic "everything goes to shit when i'm gone" feeling.

little things like this make me feel less and less guilty for not joining an organization. i mean deep down i know it's a completely pointless and profoundly lugubrious thing to do, but there was always this little niggling doubt that i wasn't putting my money where my mouth is. but i can proudly say that i have never belonged to group whose mission was to overthrow the capitalist system but who was spending time making sure its ex-members had returned a work of philosophical fan faction to its library


given how long it took to simply check whether a book was returned (and fail to even check properly,) you could give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that they were in fact too busy smashing the state to maintain their library. you'd be wrong, because instead they were of course too busy imploding internally over petty bullshit. but you know, you could, in theory, imagine an optimistic version of this scenario

Can I just say that Montreal is probably the greatest city in Canada, and for a dumb young leftist, feels like its in a potentially revolutionary situation. Does anyone care? I'm starting to think the general strike on may 1st might be a big one, but maybe it always feels like this and then peters out. I'm still new here.

EDIT: New in Montreal, I've been earnest whitenoise posting here for awhile.
