Hit me up

Listening to the radio on the way home everyday, there is one song I almost always hear.

 Hit me up by Danny Fernades feat. Josh Ramsay and Belly.

UGH. I love it! I watched the music video the other day, and there was a comment “Oh, it’s Josh Ramsay? I thought I recognized his voice!”
And all I could think was, There is no thinking! You just KNOW. it’s not like anyone else sounds like him!

I wish I could go see them in Winnipeg tomorrow… but I have to work. I am always working.

I am working when every single one of my favorite bands comes through.
At least I got to see Hedley and Plain White Tees last year… for free :)

SIGH. Time to go work an’ stuff. I hate work. *headdesk*

owwwww

Doing dishes for 2 hours is hard on the back! uuuugh, I just want to lay down, and stare at the ceiling…
My last pay cheque, before deductions, was over 800 dollars. sadly, they take off over 100 dollars for some stupid reason.

Tomorrow will be my first day off in a week. It will be lovely.
I am hanging out at home with Dorian (my brother) and his friend Sean… as well as Tristan, so that will be interesting. I hope it isn’t awkward.

I always think hanging out with him will be weird, but whenever we do, it is fun and totally normal. it’s like nothing has changed.
But I always worry. I don’t know why.
Weird.

embarrassing facebook posts

Last night, a “friend” of mine, Sean, decided to post on my wall. It was embarrassing.
He basically just yelled “CAITLIN, WHY ARE YOU FLIRTING WITH THIS GUY???” right on my page.
Oh wonderful.
This guy is a friend of mine from Alberta. His name is Jon, and I’ve only ever met him once, we are more internet buddies. He’s a friend of a friend, and we hung out when I was in Alberta in August.
So, I asked our mutual friend, Cole, what to do. Cole said Jon would have SO much fun with this, so tell him about… and make sure it doesn’t get deleted.

So I did. I left that post up there until Jon got back from college for the night.
He laughed, which was good.
And spent the next 2 1/2 hours writing a response. It is over 1000 words long!

In it, he despairs about society, and how Sean is shedding a bad light on me.
He defended me perfectly… he’s totally brilliant! He also has a vocabulary that would make Sean’s head spin.

For those of you who aren’t my friend on facebook, here is the lengthy, yet wonderful reply!!!

I shall respond in one of the seventeen ways I know how: a formal essay directed at the accuser, underlining various points of interest which have been overlooked, undervalued, and all-in-all excluded from the complex equation of the social process being questioned in the aforementioned accusation! That and with words, mostly. So, without further ado, my response: “An Informal Deconstruction of Social Protocol In Relation To Gender, As Defined By Vegetables”. Firstly, the main issue being addressed—a quite significant one at that—is the unnaturally large amount of factual errors in the accusation itself. Surely if the effort is put forth to ensure I am properly labeled as a “character”, one must not forget to apply at least one extra pronoun, adjective or title to such in advance of my naming. For instance, the application of “strange”, “conniving”, “intelligent”, or “verbose” before my name would have resulted in a much truer description. Such ambiguity would under no real-life circumstances be acceptable; and since online interaction is a part of life, it fails to achieve the necessary status here. Alternatively, if the use of adjectives to describe a Proper Noun, such as myself, is outside your tastes, referring to “this Jon Reimer ‘the Marshmallow God; harbinger of the Lords of The Tile Kingdom’ character” would have been a compromise worth pursuing.

Alternatively, if the use of adjectives to describe a Proper Noun, such as myself, is outside your tastes, referring to “this Jon Reimer ‘the Marshmallow God; harbinger of the Lords of The Tile Kingdom’ character” would have been a compromise worth pursuing. With such large and ambiguous areas of text, it is obvious your exclamation is unsupportably vague. Who is this Jon Reimer character? How many Jon Reimers does Caitlin know? Can we assume that only one of them is a conniving marshmallow god? So many unanswered queries… And if time travel is involved, the possibilities expand at an exponential rate into both directions of infinity! It is for these reasons that such unfounded accusations should refuse to fall upon the ears of the questioning.
If the first point is, or even can be, completely overlooked, I would like to point out a different area of ambiguity—one which provides a flaw more fatal than the last fairly fatal flaw. Now, if you had known who you were accusing, I’m sure you would have thought better than to use mere words, for what are words but man-made placeholders for indescribable events, feelings, truths, and falsities? At the very least you would have avoided using words which vary in meaning from person to person. If I were to yell “pineapple!” at any number of people who have held a pineapple, 99.3% would have created a mental image of a spiky yellow, green or brown fruit with large green leaves. Now, if, as you have done, I were to yell “Flirtation!” the ideas associated with the verbal stimulus would likely have a synchronization rate of 25% or less. You see, vague actions such as flirtation are defined differently by each person.
Thus, one person’s shy-smile-from-across-the-room is another person’s grope. It’s hardly to be expected that everyone would be aware of the precise definition of flirtation you have assigned as an adverb in your accusing sentence. Therefore, for the remained of this essay, we will define flirtation by the encyclopædic definition that “flirting (or coquetry) is a playful, romantic, or sexual overture by one person to another subtly indicating an interest in a deeper relationship with the other person, and can involve verbal communication as well as body language. A female flirt, especially a young one, is sometimes called a coquette; but when a man flirts with a woman it is sometimes referred to as gallantry or chivalry.”

It should also be noted that the very concept of flirtation varies by country, culture, and continent, not just by individual idea. Thusly, each individual reader is assigned the responsibility of deciding the actions Caitlin has allegedly acted in my general direction, and depending on their background of origin, Caitlin could have participated in any number of activities. Preposterous. Such delicate subjects should be approached in less dismissive manners.  As someone quite adept at arguments, accusations, and other ill methods, I would like to suggest using something called “pointed accusations” instead in order to qualify them as valid. Also, once again looking back to the definition I have quoted, I would like to point out that I try my best to be chivalrous in this pitiful moderne day, and such chivalry should not be confused for flirtation by the less gentlemanly of citizens, as there is actually a difference between the two.
My third and final pin-point of painful enlightenment is on the very topic which your hodgepodge of text has carefully skirted in its attempt at blatant distraction. Consider, for a moment, the fact that, starting in the early teen years, there comes a point where having a friend of the opposite gender suddenly prompts similar responses to your own. However, anyone who has had a friend of the opposite gender for any amount of time knows that just because you talk, laugh, and hang out together does not mean you are flirting, dating, or anything of the sort. To put this in perspective, me and Cole Woodley hang out often. We go to numerous movies, which is a typical date activity, and we are friends (/enemies).
Despite all of this, I am 100% sure we are not dating. What difference is there between going to the movies with a friend of the same gender and going to movies with a friend of the opposite? Only the latter will produce accusations of being more than friends. And if such a simple thing as hanging out to watch expensive storytelling on a large screen can cause such wide-varying results, then it’s no wonder talking, hanging out, and doing friend things can experience the same deproportionalization (a word I invented for just this occasion).
If this means that the only way to ensure no further accusations target Caitlin, the subject in question over such trivial matters, is to make her hate me and not be my friend, then I’m sorry but the entirety of society is BALLS and can go continue its repulsive, stagnant decay elsewhere. It can bring its confusing, messed-up notions of friendship, camaraderie and, most importantly, social interaction with it. Me and my friends will create a serparate, more real reality in that case. Really, I have a number of female friends, and yet I am the societal opposite of a Player. I know Caitlin has a number of male friends as well, therefore the same can be said for her. It is for these reasons, Sir, your accusations are proven to be undeniably frail in the face of my face, and also in the face of overly-careful scrutiny and abused grammatical rules. Thus spake MrMarshmallow.
