Summer is really here, and I am really unemployed.

I don't enjoy that combination, as it means I can't afford to go out and get drunk on patios whenever I'd like or get sassy haircuts at overpriced salons to make me feel better about the fact that I have to prance around half naked in public because it's too damn hot to wear long sleeves and jeans.

I've been e-mailing out a lot of resumes to companies advertising office assistant and receptionist positions. Sending out resumes online kind of feels like tossing them into a giant vaccuum one by one. Very little feedback, if any. Plus I'm forced to read through horribly misspelled ads placed by employers who can't spell the name of the city their company is located in (ahem .. "Scarboro" .. "Toronot"), let alone put a sentence together, yet would be in charge of hiring me, and thus make a lot more money than I would. It makes me wonder how the hell it is that I'm unemployed. Granted, it's better than actually having to leave my house and put pants on in order to find a job, but it's still a tad disheartening. Hey, does anyone live in Toronto and want to give me a job? Preferably one that doesn't involve selling my body, but I'm open-minded.

Other than that, things are alright. Pride week was the week before last, and it was the first one I've ever celebrated. It was fun. I wore a tacky rainbow lei and everything. Here's a Pride collage that Dan made. I can be seen at the bottom, giggling uncontrollably and holding a stuffed bear with a giant penis and pubes that got thrown from one of the floats. After the parade I went back to Emily-Jane's and promptly died. Goddamn was that ever a boiling hot, exhausting day.

I also had a party on Canada Day eve that went quite well. First party I've ever thrown. No orgies, but we still had fun. We played drunken Mad Libs, and everyone's mind was in the gutter so we ended up with lines like "and he fell labia over nipples in love with her and they lived hornily ever after". Good times. I'll have to throw parties more often.

Yep, that's all.
