Wednesday

Kara says (10:19 PM):

Good evening!

Amanda says (10:19 PM):

Hello you.

Amanda says (10:20 PM):

I think we should talk about sex and relationships. And I think we should answer questions from our readers. Answer, maybe not. But explore. So I invite all of our readers to send their queer sex, dating, relationship, and misc questions/topics of conversation/etc. to shebesheinc@gmail.com

It will give us things to blab about.

Kara says (10:21 PM):

excellent!

Lets talk about cheating…

Amanda says (10:21 PM):

ok I have nine minutes before I spontaneously combust

Kara says (10:22 PM):

hahaha fair enough.

I think emotional cheating is a crock of hot shit.

Amanda says (10:22 PM):

ha ha

explain

Kara says (10:22 PM):

I don`t think it’s something that really exists.

Kara says (10:23 PM):

I think if your significant other has found someone they can vent to and talk to… then you should let them without getting jealous. What exactly is an emotional relationship.

I just think its nonsense.

Amanda says (10:24 PM):

I agree. I think people get a little sour when you approach a lovey-dovey area though.. like a pg 13-I’d-fuck-ya-if-I-wouldn’t-get-in-trouble-this-is-almost-a-relationship zone

I’ve definitely emotionally cheated. A million times.

Amanda says (10:25 PM):

It’s the thrill of getting close to your object of desire without actually banging them, you know. I think you’re talking about friendship

which is entirely different

Amanda says (10:26 PM):

I’ve had a few exes actually say: “I wish you would fuck her instead of having coffee three times a week”

Kara says (10:26 PM):

BAHAHAHA

Amanda says (10:26 PM):

we get insecure in relationships when we see our partner step outside of The Box for something we can’t provide.

Jealousy is ugly.

Kara says (10:26 PM):

I don`t understand how people don`t see a difference between fucking and coffee though.

Amanda says (10:26 PM):

It’s the physical cheating I find problematic, well mainly…the promotion of it as being nothing at all.

Amanda says (10:27 PM):

Both are warm. both feel good. both get me off.

Intellect is hot. I’m throwing that out there.

Mind fucking is sexy.

Sometimes

better than sex.

I get why emotional cheating would suck

tell me why you think it doesn’t.

Amanda says (10:28 PM):

separate it in your mind from friendship. What you and I do is different than say if you had a friend you sexualized and had the same, or more intimate, convos with.

Kara says (10:29 PM):

I guess its just something that I don`t feel insecure about. If I had a significant other and she had a hot little piece of ass that she liked coffee and getting her brains fucked out by conversation and footsie… more power to her.

Amanda says (10:30 PM):

bahahhahahhaha

footsie

that’s hot

why so?

Kara says (10:30 PM):

provided, it goes both ways.

Amanda says (10:30 PM):

ohhhh

Kara says (10:30 PM):

its all about equality and honesty.

Amanda says (10:31 PM):

I think every couple has to determine what cheating is going in

Kara says (10:31 PM):

agreed.

Amanda says (10:31 PM):

okay, hypothetically, honey, we are dating. What do you consider cheating, dear?

 What can’t I do.

Kara says (10:36 PM):

What I alone consider to be cheating is relevant to what you signed up to… if you`re dating… then you`re dating, you`re making dates with people, its casual. If you`ve decided on one you want to commit to then that’s where black and white turn grey… that’s when you need to have the conversation…that’s when it needs to be discussed.

when you`re…going steady. hahaha

Amanda says (10:36 PM):

going steady?

holy 80s batman

Kara says (10:36 PM):

I think open relationships make alot of sense to me.

hahaha

thanks

Amanda says (10:36 PM):

Me too.

Kara says (10:37 PM):

you can have that special someone…and a few more depending on how life goes.

so long as it goes both ways, i think it can work.

hahaha like marina and franchesca.

Amanda says (10:37 PM):

but I think they require 1. confidence 2. energy 3. honesty

Amanda says (10:38 PM):

and two people who aren’t jealous

Kara says (10:38 PM):

I think jealousy can be healthy… but it has to be talked about.

Amanda says (10:39 PM):

you have a lot of makeup sex don’t yo

you

?

I have to run…. laundry is calling.

Kara says (10:39 PM):

hahaha

Enjoy your laundry and your evening!

 

Tuesday

Amanda says:

 hey lady

Kara says:

 Good day! How was femme fest

 femme club…

 hahaha

Amanda says:

 ha ha it was fucking awesome.

 I feel like I actually have a community to talk about stuff in. It’s awesome.

 what’s up?

Kara says:

 I am…. watching hoarders, I feel like its a new episode…hahaha so what kinds of things do you talk about in femme club

 swap make up and beauty tips

 break out into song

 tell me about it

Amanda says:

 Aweful

And you ACTUALLY identify as femme

Kara says:

 hahaha

Amanda says:

 Anyways

Kara says:

 i`m just trying to understand the club

 hahaha

Amanda says:

 femme club is top secret

Kara says:

 oooo

Amanda says:

 So you’re watching hoarders…ha. Good for you. When you coming for a visit?

Kara says:

 when I win the lottery

 hahaha

Amanda says:

 what did you do all day?

Kara says:

 I had a lovely sit down with the ex today. Tried tying up loose ends, but for some reason our damage deposit cheque hasn`t come in yet.

 even though it was mailed last Wednesday.

 I shipped shit to Winnipeg that has taken less than a week.

Amanda says:

 how was that, strange at all?

Kara says:

 Not really. We`ve had our say I think. It’s just a matter of everyone moving on.

Amanda says:

 that’s always the way.

Kara says:

 I don`t get it… lingering… I don`t think it’s a natural part of the breakup process

Amanda says:

  let’s talk about relationships or sex. I think we should talk more about this now that you’re single.

 we should give our readers wet dreams

 I’m kidding. But seriously. How do you move on?

 I personally would love to know!

Kara says:

 tie up the loose ends…. and let your friend talk you into joining dating sites.

 That’s how you move on… you get your mind busy thinking about other afternoon delights

Amanda says:

 Addictive isn’t it?

 I really think plenty of fish deserves an award

Kara says:

 A little… I`m still trying to figure it all out… for example… I fight the urge to respond to people i`m not at all interested in who have messaged me….

 I want to tell them that i`m not buying what they`re selling…

Amanda says:

  haha I just don’t respond

Kara says:

 but I don`t think that’s kosher.

 hahaha

 I haven`t been.

Amanda says:

 It’s easier that way.

Kara says:

 and I won`t piss as many people off.

Amanda says:

  so

  tell me another thing will you

Kara says:

 So I might have another date.

Amanda says:

 ??

Kara says:

 with someone in town.

Amanda says:

 another?

 when was the first?

Kara says:

 the other one won`t be until my roadtrip… this one would be with someone different, in Fredericton, perhaps at reads.

Amanda says:

 I see

 teeth?

Kara says:

 That would be excellent, but no.

 hahaha

 Teeth is funny.

Amanda says:

 funny how?

 ?

Kara says:

 funny haha…and funny…mysterious.

Amanda says:

 I envision a little sparkle in your eye.

Kara says:

 one of those people you just can`t put your finger on… ya know.

Amanda says:

 how so?

Kara says:

 I really enjoy people I can`t figure out in 20 questions.

Amanda says:

 like unreliable/unpredictable

 or just interesting?

 there’s a huge difference.

Kara says:

 interesting.

 just interesting.

Amanda says:

 you are becoming cute, Miss Doucet, that’s terrifying.

Kara says:

 there is nothing cute about me.

 hahaha

Amanda says:

 Alright I’ve got like 4 days to get my shit together for class, moving, and then flying across the country. Shall we talk tomorrow my love? Let’s think of a topic to think of during the day.

Kara says:

 Tomorrow indeed.

Amanda says:

 Cheating.

Kara says:

 i`ll text you with funny things… I plan on going downtown.

Amanda says:

 talk soon.

 xo.

Kara says:

 later!

Monday

Kara says (2:14 PM):

Hey there friend!

Amanda says (2:14 PM):

Hola amigo

so

guess what

Kara says (2:14 PM):

oo what

Kara says (2:15 PM):

I feel like you have good stories for me today

Amanda says (2:15 PM):

I’m sitting today in a Victoria coffee shop and randomly I find an NBCC catalogue and I’m fingering through it and I see my best little lesbian friend looking up

you are a mighty hot landscaper

YOU ARE IN VICTORIA

even if you don’t know it

Kara says (2:15 PM):

hahahaha

Kara says (2:16 PM):

I`m practically famous.

Amanda says (2:16 PM):

indeed.

how is the fishing?

Kara says (2:16 PM):

They told me they wanted to use me for promotions… I didn`t think it would travel that far…. hahahaha

That made my day!

Kara says (2:17 PM):

hmmm well today, I still haven`t made any coffee plans yet, I`m sitting aside an hour to respond to the emails tonight, and I guess we`ll see what happens from there.

Amanda says (2:17 PM):

It was a hilarious pic. You totally looked like an earth hippie

Kara says (2:17 PM):

hahaha

Amanda says (2:17 PM):

 I want to talk about the importance of the first kiss on your upcoming fictional dates.

How important is the kiss for you?

Amanda says (2:18 PM):

It makes or breaks an evening and future for me.

Kara says (2:19 PM):

It’s not something I sweat about. I`m an awesome kisser, even if the other person isn`t all that good, I can still make it good.

But if they are really terrible…

I agree… it can be a deal breaker… but it has to be horrible ya know.

Amanda says (2:20 PM):

 I know because it is a learned thing.

your favourite kind of kiss?

Kara says (2:21 PM):

the type for me is far less important than the atmosphere and setting.

Amanda says (2:21 PM):

ha ha ha

the setting has never mattered for me

Amanda says (2:22 PM):

Oh the good old days with my now semi-famous singer friend

Kara says (2:22 PM):

hahaha it wouldn`t.

hahaha

Amanda says (2:22 PM):

I think we kissed in every corner of Fredericton

back alleys not excluded

Kara says (2:22 PM):

I`ve had good times in the back alleys.

I`d rather be in an alley then on a couch.

hahaha

Amanda says (2:23 PM):

couches I can handle, I find cars semi awkward

elevators are fun

Kara says (2:23 PM):

agreed.

Amanda says (2:23 PM):

you have two seconds to make it matter

Amanda says (2:24 PM):

I’m sitting in this neat section of the library filled with a room of lovely paintings

Marie’s work belongs here

What are your plans for the eve

ps. lesbian plaid surrounds me

Kara says (2:24 PM):

Gym, responding to the fishies… then who knows.

Kara says (2:25 PM):

I want it to snow…

Then I`d like to walk around with a coffee.

downtown.

with a scarf.

Amanda says (2:25 PM):

cute. I can’t wait to get to you and drive and eat carbs and be merry.

OH

Kara says (2:25 PM):

mmmmm indeed!

Amanda says (2:25 PM):

I have news!

Kara says (2:25 PM):

shoot!

Amanda says (2:25 PM):

Tonight is my first femme club meeting.

shut up.

Kara says (2:26 PM):

may I ask a question…

Amanda says (2:26 PM):

yes

Kara says (2:26 PM):

what the dickens is femme club… are you the president, and what if a butch wants to become a member

So 3 questions.

Amanda says (2:27 PM):

ha

Amanda says (2:29 PM):

1. A friend started it. She’s doing her Master’s in gender theory more particularly femme lesbian identity. It’s a place where people who feel like they want to express their femininity (however it manifests itself) as a part of their identity. 2. Not likely because I’m not sure that I am that feminine, but I like parts of it hanging around and see why the movement is important when femmes get pus

hed to the back in queer circle convos because they are accused of working for ‘the dark side’ because of their appearance

Kara says (2:30 PM):

ooooo interesting

Amanda says (2:30 PM):

3. As long as the butch identifies as some part femme and wants to explore femininity. She’s in.

Kara says (2:30 PM):

Well that sounds like a lot of fun.

Amanda says (2:30 PM):

I’m a supporter of the cause and feel like community and discussion is always good

but I’m pretty butch

Kara says (2:30 PM):

sure you are Brenda.

Amanda says (2:30 PM):

don’t let this face fool you

Amanda says (2:31 PM):

I think I’m inter-queer-identity (IQI, which I just made up). I have the heart and testicles of a butch with the appearance of a 17 year old goth girl

it works

I like that nothing matches

Kara says (2:32 PM):

I`ve gotta scram dear, have fun at femme fest 09! I want to hear all about it tomorrow!

Amanda says (2:32 PM):

ok xo

Sunday

Amanda says:

Hi there

Kara says:

Hey there!

Amanda says:

How are you this fine evening?

Kara says:

I have no complaints, what kind of tea are you drinking

Amanda says:

zen. like my heart. What are you up to?

Kara says:

I am…. working on a project at the moment. I decided that on my hibernation, I should do something really productive….so…since I have no bed… I`m going to design and build my own.

Amanda says:

sweet, could you come here and do the same

?

Kara says:

perhaps… hahaha

Amanda says:

how was your weekend?

Kara says:

I`m nervous to see how this one will turn out. My weekend was really great, thanks. I got really drunk on friday, I drank my body weight in red wine, passed out at a friends house….spend the next day in a fog with a break to the cabin.

Amanda says:

I miss the cabin

when I come to you

we are going

Kara says:

no milkshake…then i`ve been relaxing and looking at a potential new house.

Amanda says:

every day

Kara says:

of course

well…maybe not everyday… but at least twice.

Amanda says:

ha

Kara says:

always for breakfast.

always a coffee and a milk shake

Amanda says:

Sounds good enough to me. Red wine eh.

Kara says:

mmmmm

Amanda says:

It was also the death of me last night

Kara says:

I feel like its unexpected…like when i`m shooting nonsense I know i`m going to be fucked after the 5th or 6th shot… but the ol wine sneaks up on me… I like it.

hahaha

Amanda says:

I also did shots and gin. All-hell-breaks-loose-Amanda was out for the evening

which always sounds better in theory

Kara says:

hahaha

in theory.

you`re a hot mess on gin.

hahaha

Amanda says:

I met some awesome new friends though. And yes, I’m a hot mess generally.

It was a neat house party I went to with some friends.

Kara says:

New friends…that’s a time!

Amanda says:

then we went to the queer bar.

Yeah they were really cool.

Kara says:

what was cool about them.

what made them stick out in your fremented memory

Amanda says:

All very different, all in love with Victoria. I’d say it’s starting to rub off. There were all different kinds and the conversations stuck out

from coffee to queer politics

my raison d’etre

Kara says:

fair enough

Amanda says:

Tell me a story

Kara says:

A story… well a few people from fredericton have been looking me up on plenty of fish….

Amanda says:

how is that going?!?!

Kara says:

interesting, very interesting…. I feel like i`m at the point, where you know what, yeah i`ll have coffee with you, just for the sake of I need something to fill my time, something to write down in a day planner

Amanda says:

bbahahahah

Kara says:

and if one coffee is quite enough for me then…great

Amanda says:

that’s  a positive way to look at human experience

how many coffees have you scheduled

?

Kara says:

well…that brings me to the second thing on my list of things to do late at night.

its all tentative… I have to respond and say…yeah, why not

but…

Amanda says:

stage ten clingers.

be afraid.

Kara says:

hahaha I might put it off.

until tomorrow or the next day.

Amanda says:

that is ok

I’m beginning to see that life can move slowly if you let it

Kara says:

And what brought on this revelation

Amanda says:

some hairy life stuff.

Kara says:

fair enough…

Amanda says:

but I’m going to be like the earth, solid and strong.

Kara says:

I think i`m down for some slow progression.

Amanda says:

and let things float in and out as they see fit. I think.

It’s just a hypothesis. I’m not certain

I must go write. But when planning my bed, I want a mermaid headboard.

xo

Kara says:

hahahaha fair enough, enjoy your zen and your writing.

Thursday

Kara says (9:21 PM):

 good evening… I just remembered I need to text your GF

 How’s your day going

Amanda says (9:27 PM):

 what for. My evening is going well. How is your evening?

Kara says (9:29 PM):

 Delightful, I hung out with your GF for like a half hour, went to the gym, then I had to go pick up my little cousin from the hockey rink.

 The whole day has been solid.. I got a lot done.. I even hung out clothes today on the clothes line.

Amanda says (9:30 PM):

 Why do you need to text her?

  You at a hockey rink? Is this what unemployment has done for you?

Amanda says (9:31 PM):

 I heard you got nice weather today, I’m pissed. It’s been like fucking tsunami time here. Wind. Rain. Angry faces ha ha.

Kara says (9:32 PM):

 hahaha it was a beautiful day, I have to text her to let her know that I had to get my cousin, thus I won`t be joining her and her gathering tonight

 No I`m not at the hockey rink now… and I didn`t go in…I just drove by and made Jamie jump in….as I rolled.

Amanda says (9:33 PM):

  that’s hilarious. So what’s new and exciting?!?!?!?!

 I’m home in like twenty days, seems wild

Kara says (9:35 PM):

 It is wild. I`m really excited for you to be back, it`ll be good for your soul.

 New and exciting, I may or may not be trying to hook up a date as we speak.

 thats exciting

Amanda says (9:36 PM):

 ha ha ha. YOU on a DATE.

 That is new and exciting.

 who’s the lucky lady?

 teeth?

Kara says (9:36 PM):

 no not teeth.

Kara says (9:37 PM):

 but that reminds me that I`ll need a date for Nicole’s birthday prom.

 as well.

 ha

Amanda says (9:37 PM):

 when’s Nicole’s birthday prom?

 someone should have fun parties when I’m in Fredericton

Kara says (9:37 PM):

 the 12th

Kara says (9:38 PM):

 I feel like there may be a party the following weekend as well

 I`m not sure.

Amanda says (9:38 PM):

 13-18 but talking to the kids about being a homo on the 15th

Kara says (9:38 PM):

 We`ll party.

 hahaha

Amanda says (9:38 PM):

 who’s the girl!

Kara says (9:38 PM):

 oh… Thats a secret… I`ll show you a picture though.

Amanda says (9:39 PM):

 tell me things you like about her

 is this a plenty of fish happening

Kara says (9:40 PM):

 yes… Shes well travelled…super hot, and…smart.

Amanda says (9:40 PM):

 and from Fredericton, older or younger?

Kara says (9:40 PM):

 no, but from close by, and older.

Amanda says (9:41 PM):

 she’s from the Jizzy isn’t she?

 show me a picture!

Amanda says (9:43 PM):

 I’m thinking I might perform “Queer Soup” tomorrow for an open mic at the Cornerstone cafe tomorrow following the Trans Day of Remembrance

 Remember that poem I read to you awhile back

Kara says (9:44 PM):

 yes I do.

Amanda says (9:44 PM):

 Holy fuck! She’s beautiful

 She is from the SJ?

 She’s smoking hot.

 Looks sexy and smart.

Amanda says (9:45 PM):

 something about those big brown eyes.

Kara says (9:45 PM):

 Right?

Kara says (9:45 PM):

 date secured.

Amanda says (9:46 PM):

 I approve.

 Did you tell her you’re way into cuddling

Amanda says (9:47 PM):

 what will you do on your first date?

Kara says (9:47 PM):

 bahahaha

Amanda says (9:47 PM):

 WHERE IS SHE FROM

Kara says (9:47 PM):

 Moncton

Amanda says (9:48 PM):

  Is she a top? She looks like she could be and I would let her. You know.

Amanda says (9:49 PM):

 In charge is sexy.

 What are you going to do for the first date?

 If you make me ask the same question one more time, I will harm you.

Kara says (9:49 PM):

 ahh I`m not sure yet.

Kara says (9:50 PM):

 give me some ideas.

Amanda says (9:50 PM):

 is she more artsy, athletic, outdoorsy

 give me a few of her adjectives

Kara says (9:51 PM):

 athletic, social, cultured.

Amanda says (9:53 PM):

 Ok. I would walk in O’Dell park because she hasn’t seen it yet and it will give you a chance to talk at which time you can dazzle her with your charm. I would search out a Brazilian dish pre date and then ask if she wants to cook together, if she does make it together so it’s like a team building activity but if she isn’t into cooking take her somewhere nice like the palate and then either try to

Amanda says (9:54 PM):

 get tickets to the playhouse or see if there are any shows at the gallery

 fallback would be band at the bar

Kara says (9:54 PM):

 ooo try moncton, I`ll be out of my element.

Amanda says (9:54 PM):

 get her to come to you no?

 home court advantage

 if it’s on her turf

Amanda says (9:55 PM):

 you’re laughing

 sit back

 be femme

 look purdy

Kara says (9:55 PM):

 That’s an idea, but this will work out for the vacation to Moncton for two days.

 hahaha

Amanda says (9:55 PM):

 it’s her responsibility

Kara says (9:55 PM):

 YES

Amanda says (9:55 PM):

 but get her something

Kara says (9:55 PM):

 I can do that, I’ve got some ideas.

Amanda says (9:55 PM):

 to thank her for the work

Kara says (9:55 PM):

 I`ve got it under control.

 hahaha

Amanda says (9:55 PM):

 does she like coffee?

 does she know you’re addictedt to cigarettes

Kara says (9:56 PM):

 hahaha

 its all on POF, I’m cutting back!

 yeah, she’s down with coffee.

Amanda says (9:57 PM):

 get some of Nancy and John’s awesome beans and take those to her and maybe a funky pair of earrings from cultures

 ok I have to go

 HOT

 muah

Kara says (9:58 PM):

 later!

Wednesday

Kara says:

READY!

Amanda says:

Hi miss.

Kara says:

Good evening!

How was your day

Amanda says:

I hear Ani is coming your way.

My day was good. A little amped. Deadlines closing in. No sleep. The usual

I’m trying to breath through my third eye or whatever.

Tell me about your day.

Kara says:

yikes! I hope you haven`t been neglecting yourself in the process

good.

My day was great, I helped mark move heavy things today, then I went to the gym had a great hour and a half there, I feel sore yet energized.

I may or may not have a little whiplash from the car accident yesterday but I can`t really tell

Amanda says:

from now on you can’t tell me about the gym

I’m sick of hearing about the gym everyday

it’s not nice to make your friends feel guilty.

you probably do have whiplash

Kara says:

there are worse things though then whiplash…one time I was in a car accident and my sunglasses exploded into pieces off my face

Amanda says:

I remember

Kara says:

that was worse…they were new

Amanda says:

I was there for that

around

in the picture

what a concept

‘in the picture’

Kara says:

hahaha

Amanda says:

Speaking of pictures, how is the old dating service. Line up any bass yet?

Kara says:

Fredericton sucks, there aren`t many fish in Fredericton….and if there were i`m sure it would be incest someone has fucked someone who i`ve been with.

That’s not cool.

I want to find a little gem no one knows about.

hahaha

is that too much to ask for?

Amanda says:

 yes

Kara says:

hahaha

It there, you found yourself a little gem.

It’s

Amanda says:

it’s because I turn them gay.

It’s a conversion operation

Kara says:

come on now, you can`t turn someone gay

Amanda says:

 I’m kidding, you asshole

but I solidify their questioning

Kara says:

how so, tell me your ways oh wise one.

hahaha

Amanda says:

I allow them to exploit their interests.

I never specifically look for ‘a lesbian.’ I find what I want

and I get it

I got it.

It’s about figuring out what you want

that’s the hardest part.

and harnessing your inner hotness

Kara says:

interesting, so Amanda, what is inner hotness?

Amanda says:

it’s self explanatory…

everything that’s hot about you that is all yours and does not manifest itself physically ?

knowing who YOU are and WHY you’re special.

and letting it radiate

Kara says:

do you think it can be faked…. like if you project inner hotness then people will assume you have it?

Amanda says:

 no

it cannot

because it is there

it’s not fake-able

it just needs to be found, cultivated, and harnessed

we all have it.

Kara says:

found and cultivated, so where does one begin on the search for inner hotness?

Amanda says:

Sometimes when you act like a shrink I want to deck you.

 you know it. You see slices of it, but you don’t explore it fully. When you feel confident. It’s an explosion of this confidence

what’s something you feel confident about?

Kara says:

hahahaha

so I see your angry.

hahaha

hmm what’s something I feel confident about…

right now… its my ass… my skinny jeans are getting loose. It’s amazing.

When you come home you may not recognize me.

Amanda says:

okay so you like your ass….that’s not about something inside of you at all

that is your ass

outside

Kara says:

hmm… hahaha

Amanda says:

your skin

Kara says:

my award winning personality

hahaha

Amanda says:

you have to be more specific

the problem with harnessing your inner hotness

is that most people burry it

case in point

Kara says:

sometimes people think i`m funny maybe I don`t know

Amanda says:

and you have to own it

Kara says:

why are you my friend?

hahaha

Amanda says:

not ‘sometimes’

‘people’

‘think’

YOU ARE FUNNY

Own it

meditate on it

kiss love it fuck it

hold the fact that you are funny up over your head

every morning say “I’m fucking hilarious”

“I deserve somebody who gets that I’m funny”

that will be a start

make a list

you like lists

I have to go get writing

Kara says:

i do, i love lists

hahaha

fair enough, thanks for the pep talk.

Amanda says:

own it and make it work for you

xoxox

TUESDAY

Kara says:

So I got into a car accident today. Beat that on your excitement meter.

Amanda says:

I got 70% off of my perfume.
A fucking car accident?

Kara says:

hahaha

Amanda says:

Share bear’s car?

Kara says:

no, Joey was driving thank god, his car took it from behind on the on ramp.

So I got him to pull over, and the lady that rear ended us pulled in too
I jumped out

Amanda says:

So you got rear ended?
Where?

Kara says:

she gets out…and asks if there is any damage, I said nope… and she said oh I`m so sorry, and I told her calmly “fucking pay attention“ then I walked back to the car and continued on our journey to the gym.
On the on-ramp to get to the Southside

Amanda says:

You told off a senior citizen
how does that make you feel?

Kara says:

She wasn`t a senior citizen.
She was maybe 50.

Amanda says:

Well you escaped, this is all that matters.
And you had time for cardio

Kara says:

And it made me feel great, for everyone’s safety if you can`t pay attention, then you shouldn`t be driving

Amanda says:

Sounds like a good day.
Umm need I remind you of our drives?

Kara says:

Yes…mega attention
not a bad thing

Amanda says:

ha.

Kara says:

I never smashed into anyone
hahaha

Amanda says:

I’m trying to think of interesting things. Okay, I do have: “illogical things that piss me off #173948723″
Here’s the deal

Kara says:

mmhhmm

Amanda says:

Putting your jacket up over your nose and mouth will not actually protect you from invisible swine on the bus. Why? Because–it’s a fucking jacket and not a surgical mask and your grubby hand you used to put it over your face with was just on the rail, idiot
I’m so sick of swine. Not with. Of.
ok.

Kara says:

I think it’s all overrated… survival of the fittest.
hahaha

Amanda says:

And a BMO bank teller gave me the eyes today when I ordered rent cheques and I noticed she removed all of her piercings and I wondered if this is bank policy

Kara says:

I`m sure it is. Policy of any kind makes me nervous… if you are a flight attendant… no you may not have a messy bun in your hair.

Amanda says:

seriously, for turbulence?

Kara says:

I don`t get it…piercings and messy buns aren`t going to hurt anyone

Amanda says:

gravity likes shapely buns

Kara says:

no… because it looks unprofessional?… it has to be smooth and pretty

Amanda says:

I was kidding.

Kara says:

manicured.
hahaha

Amanda says:

sick.

Kara says:

it is sick

Amanda says:

Since when does metal affect your ability to speak or smile or wait on people

Kara says:

I`d be fucked… I have a mess of hair and I can`t use a curling iron
Well… I have a story about that.
I got my tongue pierced the day before I had to preach.
I sounded funny.

Amanda says:

I love that you were a preacher.
you sounded like you liked pussy

Kara says:
 hahaha

Amanda says:
What was the best part of spreading God’s word?

Kara says:

The hypocrisy.
that was the best part. The best part of preaching was being up higher than everyone else and telling them they are bad people.

Amanda says:

hahaha

Kara says:

meanwhile… back at bible college… I was a hot mess.
hahaha

Amanda says:

Prop 8 is going to the high court
I believe in January
woot.
Speaking of hot messes….you loving the dating website?

Kara says:

Good. America is still America though, they will always struggle with progressive issues. I`m still not convinced on POF.
hahaha
I might meet a few on the trip to Moncton.
We`ll see.
But… Moncton… that makes me nervous on its own

Amanda says:

One more question
the word ‘titties’ turn off, no?

Kara says:

titties…. hmmm depending on who its coming from.
slightly high pitched `TITTIES` like kitties…. is fine.

Amanda says:

even if someone is smoking hot…I think titties sounds like bad porn

Kara says:

but look at her titties… could be trashy.

Amanda says:

I think it’s worse when it’s nonchalant.

Kara says:

Agreed.
What’s a better word.. how do we phase out titties.

Amanda says:

tits

Kara says:

is that better though?

Amanda says:

remove the tie
jugs
headlights
birthday cakes

Kara says:
 Dirty pillows… I saw that on Carrie

Amanda says:

breasts are too maternal
sick

Kara says:

boobs

Amanda says:

bits

Kara says:

boobs cracks me up.
boobies…

Amanda says:

kibbles and bits

Kara says:

hahaha
melons.

Amanda says:

alright I’m out of here. Keep your tits, er, head up. See you tomorrow

Monday

Kara says:

 hey there, I did exciting things today.

Amanda says:

 Hello Miss Excitement

 Let’s have it

Kara says:

 Went to the gym, thats a given though. Then I walked on down to reids and met up with michael. I had a large costa rican. We chatted and scoped out every pretty person that walked through the door. It was fun times. Then… we met up with nicole, and she made delicious sechwan pork, it was divine. We also planned a two day trip to moncton as well…just for fun.

 It was a very productive day.

Amanda says:

 For shopping?

Kara says:

 indeed, and delightful food.

 Nicole and her wicked sweet delta discount, we’ll be going down and staying in style for cheeeeaaaap

Amanda says:

 that’s right. And will you be hitting up le queeeer bar?

Kara says:

 mmmmm….. maybe… triangles….

 i’ve been there a time or two..

Amanda says:

 I can’t say that I have. Not to my knowledge. But maybe. I always confuse that and Reflections.

Kara says:

 reflections…Halifax… yeah I could see that… they are both in basements.

 that’s strange to me

Amanda says:

  I think a lot gay bars in basements

  like hiding from Mom and Dad? I’m not sure.

Kara says:

 I think so.

Amanda says:

 the one here is also semi underground. Perhaps, it’s to establish a down low theme. I don’t know

 I ate soul food and stared down four thousand deadlines and heckled some more on craigslist.

 How goes the fishing?

Kara says:

 it goes… I’ve been out all day, and i see I have 6 new emails that I haven’t checked yet.

 It’s a strange world to me.

Amanda says:

 How so? Enlighten me.

Kara says:

 just the whole process of chatting up people…

Amanda says:

 Just think of it as the bullshit of a first date minus having to actually scream across a busy restaurant.

Kara says:

 because it is a process…and i’m sure there is a kosher way of going about it…but it seems automated.

Amanda says:

  Automated how?

 Like what’s your favourite colour?

Kara says:

 hmmm…. no, not necessarily the topic of conversation… just I’ll send you a message.. you send me a message… it’s weird… I’d rather just be out there… meeting people… even though it’s 7000 times harder.

 hahaha

 but that takes too long I suppose.

Amanda says:

  Well not necessarily. You could start going ‘places’ to meet people and reporting back. It might be good for ratings.

 Where would you go?

Kara says:

 hahaha

 triangles

 boom

 the ol bar scene

 hahaha

Amanda says:

 Oh a bar. Yeah, your liver is still young. I always forget.

Kara says:

 It’ll catch up to me one day… and I’ll die.

 hahaha

Amanda says:

 I just find that I’ve had enough drunken, recreation sex.

 But I recommend you get your dosage. You’ve been out of commission for some time.

Kara says:

 hahaha

 out of commission!

 At the cleaners.

Amanda says:

 What?

Kara says:

 nevermind.

Amanda says:

 ha.

 How is your new pussy?

Kara says:

 a little hell raiser… but soo fucking cute that I don’t care because we cuddle.

Amanda says:

 You cuddle?

Kara says:

 scary thought right?

Amanda says:

 And here, I thought you were made of stone.

 Like cuddling cement

 haha

Kara says:

 hahaha

Amanda says:

 I kid.

 I know you’re a big softy

Kara says:

 it’s mostly true…

 BAH

Amanda says:

 I want to live on a commune right now.

Kara says:

 why?

 with nuns? like sister act?

Amanda says:

 There are these wooden balls you can go hang in, in the middle of the forest

 no with hippies

 Preferably polyamourous

 Hippies

Kara says:

 I’ll go with the nuns.

 hahaha

Amanda says:

 I will keep the blasphemy to a minimum.

 How have you been keeping busy at the new living quarters?

Kara says:

 by not spending much time here.

 hahaha

 I wake up.. watch Canada am… eat a little breakfast…go to the gym then I feel like the day is done.

Amanda says:

 What I would give to be a seasonal worker.

Kara says:

 you could, I’d hire you.

 I’m sure you could pull your weight.

Amanda says:

 Seriously, with no training? Great then. It’s settled. I do have remarkable upper body strength.

Kara says:

 It’s true

 my legs are getting rugged from the gym

 the gym

 it excites me

 are you still going to yoga?

Amanda says:

 There are strangers in my room.

 Showing my house.

Kara says:

 weeeird

Amanda says:

 I semi go to yoga

 yeah, she was hot. her name is nikki from Ottawa and she’s cute as a button.

Kara says:

 hahaha

Amanda says:

 I can’t believe I have to move. SO MUCH TO DO.

 Anyways I should ‘book’ er.

Kara says:

 yeah yeah

Amanda says:

 GO ON A DATE

Kara says:

 right now?

Amanda says:

 yep

Kara says:

 hahaha

 I don’t think I can call a class act at 11

 haha

Amanda says:

 goodbye lover.

Sunday

Kara says (6:43 PM):

 Good evening!

 Tell me about your weekend?

Amanda says (6:44 PM):

 I had a great weekend! Friday night I went to a poetry slam (Montreal won and rightfully so) and met some great new folks. Saturday I went out to eat with a friend and hung out and laughed with some writing folks. Now I’m being productive and drinking lots of coffee.

 And you?

Kara says (6:46 PM):

 OOO that is a good weekend. Hmmm I went to the gym, Saturday I got together with Michael and Nicole and we spent the evening listening to “Fixin To Thrill” we also made a little dinner. It was divine. Today I watched Nurse Jackie with Nicole. And I just got home from dinner with the Fam at the Hilltop.

Kara says (6:47 PM):

 My email has been pretty busy, thanks to the good ol plenty of fish.

 I’m sceptical.

Amanda says (6:47 PM):

 I told you so! Did you use my writing?

 Sceptical how?

Kara says (6:48 PM):

 Yes I used your writing, I’ve been changing it a bit though. But 95% of what you wrote is there.

Kara says (6:49 PM):

 And just sceptical, I’m not convinced of the quality of people… who are these people with no pictures?

 sketchy is the answer.

Amanda says (6:49 PM):

 Good Good. DON’T RESPOND WITHOUT PICTURES. You have to be solid in your shallowness.

Kara says (6:50 PM):

 Oh I wouldn’t do it any other way.

 hahaha

 you’ve gotta be smart about these things.

 I have been chatting up 1 that seems pretty interesting. But thats all I’m going to say about that.

Amanda says (6:51 PM):

  You are hilarious. So is it freezing there yet?

Kara says (6:51 PM):

 no, oh my god no. Probably didn’t need a jacket today, it was foggy and rainy.

Amanda says (6:52 PM):

 I hate you

Kara says (6:52 PM):

 How about the west coast? going to have snow for the Olympics?

Amanda says (6:52 PM):

 ha

 I don’t think we snow here, but they have lots of it on the mountains I think.

Kara says (6:53 PM):

 I see

Amanda says (6:53 PM):

  Tell me something exciting.

Kara says (6:54 PM):

 hmmm…

Amanda says (6:54 PM):

 you can do it

 I believe

Kara says (6:55 PM):

 ok exciting…

 hahaha joss stone’s new cd comes out this week or next. I’m very excited about this.

Kara says (6:56 PM):

 The world should be excited.

 hahaha

Amanda says (6:56 PM):

 that is your something exciting ha ha ha boooooooooooo is all I have to say to that.

 Kelsey and I went out for tea and cake the other night. I have been eating like royalty and you will be able to tell.

Kara says (6:57 PM):

 hahaha!

Amanda says (6:57 PM):

 And I met a super fly (I think I have to resort to clichés on this one) barista who I think is in the top 5 most interesting people I’ve met since arriving

Kara says (6:57 PM):

 what was so interesting?

Amanda says (6:58 PM):

 It’s just refreshing to meet people who don’t give a fuck and who don’t try to be above you in order to be alluring. She was real. It is rare.

Amanda says (6:59 PM):

 And she shaved off all her hair mostly besides one chunk and still looks better than any other woman that walks through that place. There is something to be said for that. Trying to fight beauty standards and then becoming even more beautiful in a metaphorical kind of way. Intriguing. http://www.blip.tv/file/2494255

 I should take off though. So much work today!

Amanda says (7:00 PM):

 Please do interesting things within the next twenty four hours

 or research masturbation practices

Amanda says (7:01 PM):

 peace

Kara says (7:03 PM):

 hahaha I know! haha

Thursday

Kara says:

i’m home now… i should stop leaving the laptop open.

Amanda says:

hey there

Kara says:

happy thursday!

how was your day?

Amanda says:

Thursday is like Friday for me, but Friday is like Wednesday so it doesn’t really help at all ha. Basically I work every day. lol.

Good though. And yours?

Kara says:

Good until right now! I went to the gym, helped mark lift heavy things and put them in storage, I smoked one cigarette, which i’m proud of. And was checked out by a cute little blonde at the gym.

Now i’m fighting with my kitten.

Amanda says:

you hate blonds.

Kara says:

I do… but this was at the gym, spandex and competition change things..I noticed that she was using the same stuff as me right after i used it.

So then I had to do it twice….

I’m doing about twice what she is interms of weights.

hahaha

Amanda says:

Smoked one cigarette. That’s awesome. Today, I contemplated (heavily I might add) picking them up again. Sanity is wearing thin.

I’m glad you had a gym-off. Did you do her in the locker room?

Kara says:

That made me feel good.

Amanda says:

You know how I like happy endings.

Kara says:

no… but it was fucking weird….

I finished up and was putting my pants on, then she walks in, and her locker was right beside mine.

out of a zillion lockers at a not very busy place.

Amanda says:

Is there a ‘lesbian look.’ I’ve been told by a friend there is a look lesbians give each other to let them know they are lesbians. i just assume everyone is a little gay. It’s done me well.

Intentional.

Clearly.

She wanted to do you before she even knew you.

Kara says:

I don’t care if they are stright or not… i’m not here to discriminate.

hahaha

Amanda says:

My day started on a bus after four hours of sleep with a mother teaching her kid how to read…by reading instructions for how to cash a lottery ticket.

Kara says:

haha awesome!

fuck good night moon.

hahaha

Amanda says:

Then I had a lovely lunch with a sweet little thang and then I photocopied until my eyes fell out. There is something cathartic about xeroxing.

I’m just going to xerox whenever I get stressed?

Where’s Amanda?

Kara says:

really? I feel like the smell of a photocopier would drive me bananas after the 2nd copy

Amanda says:

Xeroxing “War and Peace”…take that CanCopy

plus it feels almost like getting a tan

except

you’re getting cancer

Kara says:

ahhhh hahahahaha

can we go tanning when you get home? can that be part of our day of activities?

Amanda says:

chhhaaaa for sure like totally and I want to sip lattes and pick out dykey clothes.

not even kidding.

Kara says:

Me either, I like how you shop.

Amanda says:

What’s on the roster for the big weeeeekend

I shop like I mean business.

I shop like I do everything in life.

I am business.

Kara says:

I know you do. You are efficient.

I want new boots.

Amanda says:

groceries in under twenty

Kara says:

slut boots.

Amanda says:

that will take five

I’m on it

Kara says:

hahaha

Amanda says:

did you put up the profile I sent you for the dating website?!?!?

Have you been fished?

Kara says:

did I ever.

a little bit.

You’re right, it is a catalogue.

Amanda says:

For real. I get about ten hits a day and my status says in a relationship and half of them look almost human. It’s awesome.

Kara says:

I’ve noticed that all the beautiful women seem to be farther west then Fredericton.

haha

It makes me want to drive across the country

Amanda says:

I know…I gotta tell you. HOT WOMEN HOT WOMEN HOT WOMEN. Victoria takes baths in them

Kara says:

I’ve noticed

Amanda says:

and there are almost no men here… it’s seems very… maenads.

Kara says:

That’s interesting

I’m sold.

be there tomorrow

Amanda says:

well they don’t hunt people but some like to get drunk and have a good time.

 I think you should come!!!

Serrrriously.

Ash and I will have room for you in our unfurnished apartment.

you can lay on whatever floor you like

Kara says:

I’ll start doing yoga, and pack myself in one of ashleys suitcases

hahahaah bitch

Amanda says:

 you’re both so goddamn skinny you could probable just jump on her shoulders and sport a trench coat

Kara says:

hahaha

Thats a pretty good idea too

I bet we could pull it off.

Ashley is a sweetheart.

Amanda says:

Or drive!! You should go on a scooter road trip

ha

all the back roads

till you get here

you will have a beard when I see you

and it won’t be Mo-vember it will be late Dickcember.

Kara says:

I’m thinking of selling the scooter… I want something that can go on a highway

Amanda says:

get a Vespa

Are you really thinking of selling the scooter?

Kara says:

mmmhhmmm I’m thinking about getting a big girl bike license.. and buying an old cute motorcycle. My second choice is an old truck.

something to hold me over until i can afford a mercedes.

hahaha

Amanda says:

I respect it. Can I be on the back of your bike for pride bahaha

Kara says:

Yes.

Amanda says:

Excellent.

Kara says:

remember the time we were going across the bridge on the scooter.

in shorts and tanks.

Amanda says:

I thought we were dead

for sure

Kara says:

that was smart.

hahaha

Amanda says:

puttering along minding our biznitch. Great times. The best was when we rolled into the shell station after being passed by almost every car going up the hill by waterloo.

Kara says:

hahahaha

that was amazing

Amanda says:

Where were we even going that day?

Kara says:

who knows, it never mattered anyway

we were on the go, not going places

hahaha

Amanda says:

I like it

Kara says:

So what else is good? What are you up to tonight?

Amanda says:

sleeping hopefully. Me against the Insomnia-round seven thousand.

Finishing up my chapter summaries draft

and reading prose poetry.

I tell ya.

you?

Kara says:

fighting with a kitten while trying to eat yogurt and bran cereal, watching 30 rock and other funny shows, sleep

that’s it, my big plans

hahaha

Amanda says:

sexual.

Kara says:

I’m going to scram though, i’m having a hell of a time doing this with one hand.

hahaha

Amanda says:

Rock on badass. I will ’see you’ Sunday

siccck

goodnight.
