My oldest friend in the whole wide world is in town. Yup, I’m 5 years old. 

While walking about the Plateau we realized that we used to walk those same streets over 17 years ago. 17 FUCKING YEARS AGO. 17, That’s a promiscuous CEGEP student right there. I used to steal money from my dad’s drawer and we would hop on our respective buses, meet at Henri Bou metro and go vintage shopping on Mont Royal…

Now, we both live off of that street. (She sort of does, she’s moving far away…) I work at a bar we used to go to and also at a hair salon I used to get my hair done at… It’s weird. It’s almost the ideal life I had wanted, 17 years ago. Well, It’s not necessarily the life I want now but it’s a step towards that. 

She now has a baby and I have a dog and a cat. 

Strange life. 

In this picture, taken in the summer of 2006 (I believe), we were meeting for the first time in YEARS. I had moved to PA and she and I, prior to that, had had some sort of falling out. The kind that we both didn’t know about, the kind that life imposes on friends when they get older. 

We’re pretend drunk. I am wearing a ridiculous amount of glittery make up, yet NO mascara… go figure. I also have braces (the colourful stuff you see protruding from my lips are my rainbow-elastic-covered braces). 

Classic case of how things change but friendship doesn’t.

Things That Make You Feel Old

When you really have to scroll in those date-of-birth dropdowns.

Date of birth?

Player, please.

I have to scroll to find my prom.

2007(ish)- testing out the Imac photobooth… I miss my septum ring, sometimes. The mark that the lip ring made makes me quite angry, though.

There are a few pros and cons about living downtown in a “highrise”. 

PROS

1- I have the best view of Montreal on all angles. Off of my balcony i see the west and have a clear view of Mont Royal. Out of my front door or the elevator a view of the east, the bridge, Mont St-Hilaraire and a good spot to watch the fireworks festival. 

2- I can’t see people walking up and down the street, peeking into my windows out of curiosity and I don’t catch homeless people (or drunks) peeing under my window. 

3- I feel like i’m on top of the world WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO

CONS

1- The heat rises up

2- The sound does too, apparently

3- Because I live on the 15th floor, every time i press -15- on the elevator I get this song stuck in my head… EVERY TIME

“Don’t get my sympathy, hanging out the 15th floor”

This certainly has rekindled my love for this album (The Bends) and it makes me feel like I am back in highschool. In 1995, THIS was my favourite album (much like Pablo Honey had been, the previous year). I still have the tape. In 1995 I was a senior.
