Meredith says, "Hey, Melissa if i sent you a check would you send me a bottle of generic 222 with codeine?"
Queen Sugar says, "What's 222?"
Meredith says, "For my migranes."
Monk says, "But Canadian drugs aren't safe."
Queen Sugar says, "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...Haha."
___ ___ ___
This is a rather big first - a three-way IM. And Monk even initiated it. A very nice experience it proved to be, too.

mgabe says:

Monk says:
Cannot get enough.
Monk says:
On the schedule, one would click 'round trip'. Then type in San Antonio for the 'from' option, and then type in Bradenton for the 'to' option.

Too much to process immediately?

Monk says:
She

You cannot have a video conference with more than one person.
You cannot have a video conference with more than one person.

It says I cannot have a video conference with more than one person.

Queen Sugar has been added to the conversation.
Monk says:
Melissa, are you there?

Queen Sugar says:
Whoa, look who it is!
Monk says:
Hey, it's me and GAbe.
Queen Sugar says:
I see that!
Monk says:
Sorry, I;m new to this.
Queen Sugar says:
Haha
mgabe says:
add me to your list melissa
Queen Sugar says:
That's cool
Queen Sugar says:
One second
mgabe says:
got it
You have just sent a Nudge!
Queen Sugar says:
Oh god
Queen Sugar says:
I hate nudges
mgabe says:
so i would ask how are you but i've read your journal
Monk says:
I wanted to see if we were all aboard the same program.
mgabe says:
i nudge him when he dozes off
Queen Sugar says:
Heh
Queen Sugar says:
A mixture of good and bad, really
Queen Sugar says:
It's been a pretty intense month
mgabe says:
seems like it
Queen Sugar says:
Queen Sugar says:
Boys are trouble.
Queen Sugar says:
How have YOU been?
mgabe says:
boys lie make t hem cry
mgabe says:
i have a shirt that says that
Queen Sugar says:
Heh
mgabe says:
i wear it whever
Monk says:
I though you girls might have a word on musicians.
Monk says:
Gabe has some experience.
mgabe says:
musicians are into their egos
mgabe says:
i have a good time with them cuz i never feed their ego
mgabe says:
they never quite get me
Queen Sugar says:
What kind of word on musicians are you looking for? What's the context?
Queen Sugar says:
I could talk about musicians for ages
Monk says:
players.
mgabe says:
as boyfriends
Queen Sugar says:
Ah
Queen Sugar says:
It's more common. But it's also not nearly universal.
Queen Sugar says:
If I had to pick the most loyal and best boyfriends I've ever seen, they are all serious musicians.
Monk says:
Not Graeme?
mgabe says:
they play the field and the minute they realize you do n't give a shit you're a prize
Queen Sugar says:
Graeme's not really a serious musician. He's more just fucked up.
Queen Sugar says:
Ehhhh
Queen Sugar says:
I've known too many musicians as stellar human beings to agree with that as an absolute
Queen Sugar says:
Like Mark for instance, Monk.
mgabe says:
he's insecure he needs his ego fed by the masses
Queen Sugar says:
I don't think so
Queen Sugar says:
Graeme doesn't even really play shows
mgabe says:
not mark no clue who mark is
mgabe says:
oh a want to be
Queen Sugar says:
I used to call him Shelta on my old journal
Monk says:
I would agree there are no absolutes, but 'tis more common that with their opportunities, they tend to give in.
Queen Sugar says:
Monk.
Monk says:
Mark is a good friend of hers.
Queen Sugar says:
I appreciate what you're trying to say here, but I want to make something clear.
mgabe says:
kiss the experience bye bye and go to the next
Queen Sugar says:
Graeme is not a player. Absolutely not. At least not in my interpretation of the word.
mgabe says:
it's great therapy
Monk says:
Two girls at once fits my definition.
Queen Sugar says:
He's just a fucked up kid who has a lot of fucking issues, and who is angry and hates himself and makes bad decisions accordingly.
mgabe says:
that's the one that cheated right?
Queen Sugar says:
That's my ex, yes
Monk says:
Graeme is the one who cheated.
mgabe says:
he's a player
Queen Sugar says:
NO he isn't.
Queen Sugar says:
At least not in the sense that I define the word.
Queen Sugar says:
He doesn't have the balls to be a player. He's just weak.
mgabe says:
his style might be different but he is
Queen Sugar says:
No, he is NOT.
Queen Sugar says:
I'm sorry here.
Monk says:
It's best not to push hard, I suppose, Gabe.
mgabe says:
he has the balls to cheat he has the balls to play
Queen Sugar says:
But look, I've gone through a lot in the last month. And I don't mean to get testy. But the reality is that he is not a player.
Queen Sugar says:
He didn't cheat out of balls. He cheated out of weakness.
mgabe says:
well then let it go and go on to the next
Queen Sugar says:
Ehh
Queen Sugar says:
There aren't really any "nexts" at the moment
mgabe says:
there is no saving this one melissa
Monk says:
Soon.
Queen Sugar says:
The only one I could really think of is only in Winnipeg once every few months
mgabe says:
not everyone wants to be saved
Queen Sugar says:
I'm not trying to save it anymore.
Monk says:
That model/actor guy on your blog>
Queen Sugar says:
What?
Queen Sugar says:
No, he plays in a band called Mico.
Queen Sugar says:
His name, coincidentally, is John Stewart
Queen Sugar says:
Which I love.
Monk says:
LOL
mgabe says:
lol
Monk says:
A good looker, I suppose.
mgabe says:
hold on phone
Monk says:
k
Queen Sugar says:
He's cute, in a way
Monk says:
Tall, gangly type - like Gabe likes.
Queen Sugar says:
Short.
Queen Sugar says:
Hold on, I'll find a pic
Monk says:
cool
Queen Sugar says:
He fucking adores me.
Queen Sugar says:
Like, ADORES me
Monk says:
That's not hard to believe.
Queen Sugar says:
But he's rarely in town. He's sort of like the man-about-Canada
Queen Sugar says:
Yeah, but it's kinda hilarious how much he latched onto me
Queen Sugar says:
Graeme used to be insanely jealous of him
Monk says:
good
Monk says:
Can you have fun without it being love?
Queen Sugar says:
Hard to say. I tend to be an all-or-nothing type of girl
Queen Sugar says:
And I can't really tell if it's "there"
Monk says:
I don't think things have changed so much across the generations.
Queen Sugar says:
Because last time I saw him was three days after Graeme and I broke up, so I wasn't really in the mood
Queen Sugar says:
No, but like... I'm EXTREME like that.
Queen Sugar says:
Most of my girlfriends tend to date around and stuff
Monk says:
You were flirting with the idea of being different, yes - more casual?
Queen Sugar says:
I have that thing where it's like, either I meet someone and it's INTENSE from the first second, or else I never feel it and have no interest
Queen Sugar says:
Yeah, but I think that may be a lost cause for me
Queen Sugar says:
I tend to bring intensity with me
Monk says:
I suspect so. That may be good. You're a serious person.
Monk says:
I'm gonna nudge Gabe.
You have just sent a Nudge!
Monk says:
Heh, I love this MSN 7.
Queen Sugar says:
http://www.micoband.com/images/photos/mico_04.jpg
Queen Sugar says:
None of these pictures are very good
Queen Sugar says:
He's the one on the far right in the little golf hat
Monk says:
Heh, I was thinking he might be the one next to him. Yours looks like he has a devilish sense of humor, heh.
Queen Sugar says:
Oh, he does
Queen Sugar says:
He's hilarious
Monk says:
When is he back in town?
Queen Sugar says:
You know, I don't rightly know
Queen Sugar says:
He left a week and a half ago on tour with this band Projektor, then he was going back to either Calgary or Vancouver to finish up the new Mico record
Queen Sugar says:
He lives a very interesting life
Monk says:
Is he a guitarist, vocalist?
Queen Sugar says:
Both
Queen Sugar says:
He's old
Monk says:
How old?
Queen Sugar says:
He actually went to my high school and grew up exactly in my area of town
Queen Sugar says:
I think he's 33 now
Queen Sugar says:
OH
Monk says:
Gah, that's still a kid.
Queen Sugar says:
ANd also, he and Propagandhi (famous political punk band) used to live in the same house Josh and I lived in three years ago
Queen Sugar says:
His room was my room
Monk says:
His scent was still in the air.
Queen Sugar says:
Haha
Queen Sugar says:
Seven years later
Monk says:
Guys are rank.
mgabe says:
true
Monk says:
There you are!
Monk says:
I was hoping you two would do the bulk of the talking.
Queen Sugar says:
Hehe
Queen Sugar says:
Are you guys going to be around for like, seven minutes?
Queen Sugar says:
I have to run out and get cigarettes/
mgabe says:
okay melissa what despicable thing did you do - stick bamboo splinters in his kidneys
Monk says:
Are you going to stick around GAbe?
Queen Sugar says:
Oh, read back a few entries in my Renawyn journal
Queen Sugar says:
Stick around dudes, I'll be right back
Monk says:
I'll be back, too = taking the dog out. Keep the window oopen
Queen Sugar says:
ok
Queen Sugar says:
Let me know when you return, I'll do the same
Monk says:
Gabe, stick around!
Queen Sugar says:
Talk to you in a few
mgabe says:
i have an appointment at 2 pm remember
Monk says:
Another ten minutes?
mgabe says:
yes
Monk says:
Gets dressed now as we take care of this.
mgabe says:
i think melissa should tie a really heavy weight on one of his nutsacks and let him dangle from the ceiling my his thumbs
Monk says:
lol brb
You have just sent a Nudge!
mgabe says:
lol
Monk says:
You there, Meredith>?
mgabe says:
gabe
Monk says:
Okay.
mgabe says:
meredith gabrielle
Monk says:
And then my name?
mgabe says:
bobby
Monk says:
No, my last name added to yours?
mgabe says:
LOL
mgabe says:
freak
Monk says:
What time must you go. How long does it take you to get to your interview?
mgabe says:
1
Monk says:
You have to leave in 20 minutes?
mgabe says:
i must be there at 2 but i like being eearly
mgabe says:
yes
Monk says:
I was thinking you gals would do most of the talking and I'd just eavesdrop.
mgabe says:
i gotta go can't miss this then walmart for three pound weights and meds
Monk says:
And you have to bike. So, I'll be alone until tonight?
Queen Sugar says:
I'm baaack
Monk says:
Good to see you.
Queen Sugar says:
Yep
mgabe says:
scroll up to see waht i said you should do to this guy
mgabe says:
the one about his nutsack
Monk says:
You and Gabe chained to cigarrettes.
Queen Sugar says:
Hehe
Queen Sugar says:
Cigarettes are delicious
Queen Sugar says:
I just wish I could breathe
mgabe says:
yes
mgabe says:
and with total toothpaste they keep your teeth white
Monk says:
Good rationalization!
Queen Sugar says:
Yeah, but my teeth are fake now anyway
Queen Sugar says:
I don't think the fake toothpaste works on bonding, I think I just have to get it redone every so often
mgabe says:
beside's im a bitch without a smoke
Queen Sugar says:
Hehe
Queen Sugar says:
I'm rarely, if ever, without one
Monk says:
A guy just has to suffer, I suppose.
Monk says:
If they want your company,.
Queen Sugar says:
Heh
mgabe says:
you like suffering
Queen Sugar says:
Well, it certainly helps if they smoke
Queen Sugar says:
Rwar
mgabe says:
monk i tell you you do
Monk says:
only for love.
Monk says:
Gabe said she will do the shots to quit smoking, no?
mgabe says:
love is an illusion
Monk says:
It's a good illusion.
mgabe says:
my son bugs me enough
Monk says:
Life is an illusion.
Queen Sugar says:
This little exchange seems like it should be in a movie
Monk says:
The movie would be too sappy for Gabe's taste.
mgabe says:
no it's not i just pinched myself and it hurt
mgabe says:
what sappy movie is that
Monk says:
A talky movie about love and illusion. You like scary/suspense movies.
mgabe says:
oh
mgabe says:
i'm steaming in this sundress
Monk says:
But you'll dazzle on the interview. Forget the sweater!
mgabe says:
i have a tattoo on my arm
Monk says:
oops
mgabe says:
it's still the post office remember
Monk says:
Paying for your sins.
Monk says:
This is what tattoos do for you!
Queen Sugar says:
Heh
Queen Sugar says:
I gotta get another one this summer
Queen Sugar says:
It's been long enough
mgabe says:
hiding my tongue ring shouldn't be a problem i don't play with it
Monk says:
Oh no!!
mgabe says:
tattoos rock
Queen Sugar says:
I'm thinking red nautical stars on the back of my wrists
Monk says:
Where is that idea from?
mgabe says:
cool
Queen Sugar says:
Oh, it's just standard classic tattoo stuff
Queen Sugar says:
Nothing very original. Everyone and their dog as nautical stars now
mgabe says:
monk when are you getting your tattoo
Monk says:
You don't fancy being more individualistic?
Queen Sugar says:
Either that, or I want to get: "Thig crioch air an t-saoghal, ach mairidh ceol agus gaol" in circular script between my shoulderblades
mgabe says:
lol like ,y uterus
Monk says:
I said I only have one in mind, if the occassion rises.
mgabe says:
send melissa my uterus one monk
Queen Sugar says:
Haha
Monk says:
That's too individualistic, Melissa.
mgabe says:
the artist in amsterdam had a great understanding of what i wanted
Queen Sugar says:
No such thing as too... the quote means a lot to me, I want to keep it
mgabe says:
you ought to see it
Monk says:
Let me see if I can find it.
mgabe says:
it's moe-1 i think
Queen Sugar says:
Haha. This reminds me of how I still have a standing offer with either Graeme or my friend Sarah that if they get a tattoo of a taco, just a taco, in a really obvious place, I'll pay for it
mgabe says:
it's not in your porn files
mgabe says:
send her the one of when i just got back
Monk says:
I'm looking now hon.
mgabe says:
it's a clearer pic of the stylized uterus
Monk says:
I believe she got it!
Queen Sugar says:
Haha
Queen Sugar says:
That's awesome
Monk says:
A nice white you with a greenish thing.
Monk says:
You there, Gabe?
Monk winks:
Play "Knock"
Monk says:
It's a nice statement.
Monk says:
I like the color.
Monk says:
GABE!!!! Are we still together?
mgabe says:
hold on i had to pee
mgabe says:
let me read back
mgabe says:
ok i''''''''''''m caught u p
Monk says:
Melissa, it might be a good idea to think of what you want to get, if you must get another tattoo.
mgabe says:
I CAN'T GET USED TO A KEYBOARD A NYMORE
Monk says:
In time...
Queen Sugar says:
I already did dude, I told you
Monk says:
Now, I'm wondering whether we've lost Melissa...
mgabe says:
hey melissa if i sentyou a check would you send me a bottle of generic 222 with codeine
Queen Sugar says:
What's 222?
mgabe says:
for my migranes
Monk says:
But Canadian drugs aren't safe.
Queen Sugar says:
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Queen Sugar says:
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Queen Sugar says:
Haha.
mgabe says:
it's an aspirin thing you guys have that has codeine
mgabe says:
as the pharmacists
Queen Sugar says:
I've never heard of 222 before in my life
mgabe says:
that was what it was called when i was still playing
Monk says:
Gabe, you don't really want CANADIAN drugs, do you?
mgabe says:
ask your friendly neighborhood pharmacists
Queen Sugar says:
Is it over the counter?
mgabe says:
yes i do monk
mgabe says:
yes it is
mgabe says:
over the counter
Queen Sugar says:
Weird, I have no idea why I've never heard of it
Queen Sugar says:
Sure, if you sent cash I'd send it over
mgabe says:
my friend brought me some two summers ago
mgabe says:
ok just find out how much
mgabe says:
shipping and everything
Queen Sugar says:
KO
Queen Sugar says:
I mean, OK
mgabe says:
but first we must find out if it changed it's name
mgabe says:
or if it has a generic brand with codeine also
Queen Sugar says:
Well, I just found it here
Queen Sugar says:
http://www.canadasbestrx.com/222-BR-Aspirin-w-8mg-Codeine-Caffeine-BR-Quantity-100-tablets-P396C140.aspx
Monk says:
How about some of that medical marijuana, since we're cracking down harder on it here?
Queen Sugar says:
Haha
Queen Sugar says:
I can't get ahold of that.
mgabe says:
why not
mgabe says:
it used to be in a bottle
Monk says:
It was low-grade marijuana anyway.
Monk says:
The government's.
Queen Sugar says:
Yeah, the government's sucked shit
Queen Sugar says:
From what I heard
Queen Sugar says:
Hence the Compassion Clubs
Monk says:
lol
mgabe says:
oh my god they have generic ambien
mgabe says:
there ought to be a bottle with not quite so many sold at the drug stores
mgabe says:
ooops
mgabe says:
kids gotta go
Queen Sugar says:
OK
Queen Sugar says:
Later Gabe
mgabe says:
don't want to be late
mgabe says:
have fun
Monk says:
Oh, babe.
Queen Sugar says:
Come back more often
mgabe says:
nice seeing you again melissa
Queen Sugar says:
Goodluck
Queen Sugar says:
Indeed!
mgabe says:
AND REMEMBER
mgabe says:
NO FIXING THE BROKEN THINGS YOU FIND
Queen Sugar says:
Haha
mgabe says:
sometimes you just can't
mgabe has left the conversation.
Monk says:
Oh, I feel naked now.
Monk says:
I'm just a hanger-on.
Monk says:
Do you want to say bye, too, Melissa?
You have just sent a Nudge!
Queen Sugar says:
I can keep hanging out if you want to
Queen Sugar says:
It's up to you
Monk says:
I can try. I just feel awkward - not much of a conversationalist.
Queen Sugar says:
Haha
Queen Sugar says:
That's ok
Queen Sugar says:
It was nice to see Gabe again
Monk says:
You aren't letting this Graeme matter take you down hard?
Queen Sugar says:
Oh no, not at all
Queen Sugar says:
It's just more bullshit is all
Monk says:
We should be seeing more of Gabe soon.
Queen Sugar says:
I mean, it certainly isn't like rainbows and sunshine in the mornings
Queen Sugar says:
But things are okay for me. And deep down he knows what a fuck he's being.
Monk says:
Does this mean no more intimacy between you two?
Queen Sugar says:
Hahahahaha
Monk says:
Or is it still an open question>?
Queen Sugar says:
Oh no. That was over with the moment I sent that letter.
Queen Sugar says:
And you know, I won't be so dumb as to say "never again in the future, ever"
Queen Sugar says:
But certainly we won't be speaking or communicating in any way for a very, very long time.
Monk says:
But if he comes at your door smiling with an apology and his need?
Queen Sugar says:
I'd talk to him.
Queen Sugar says:
But a lot would have to change. and he'd have to prove that it had changed and that it was going to STAY changed.
Queen Sugar says:
Won't happen though.
Queen Sugar says:
He hates himself too much to ever do anything like that.
Monk says:
Are you still at that store - haven't heard about that in a long time?
Queen Sugar says:
Ehhh
Queen Sugar says:
Like once a week
Monk says:
Things still looking good for Red River?
Queen Sugar says:
Well, I mean, I was accepted, no real surprise there
Queen Sugar says:
So I'm just dreading getting back to it, but I'll try to figure out how to make it better on myself
Monk says:
And when it that Montreal trip?
Queen Sugar says:
Fuck it, I don't know
Queen Sugar says:
It totally depends how I'm getting there
Queen Sugar says:
I have no idea. THe wedding's on the 9th
Queen Sugar says:
I may not even go at all.
Monk says:
Gotta take the opportunity to see the special brother.
Queen Sugar says:
Sucks Graeme and I broke up when we did. If we could have held it off for another month, he would have driven with me
Monk says:
Cannot suffer a bus service?
Queen Sugar says:
It's too late now to get the good fare
Queen Sugar says:
Also, I don't want to bus it alone for that lon
Queen Sugar says:
Only to ended up stranded with the family in Ottawa for a bunch of days
Monk says:
I would think your father might be able to offer a solution - a rental car perhaps.
Queen Sugar says:
No
Queen Sugar says:
He's renting a car himself
Queen Sugar says:
He's flying to Toronto, renting a car, driving to Ottawa, then to Montreal, then back to Toronto, then flying home
Queen Sugar says:
He wouldn't pony up the cash for me to get to Toronto and rent another car, he'd think it unnecessary
Monk says:
Cannot go with him?
Queen Sugar says:
I can't stand that much time stuck with my family
Queen Sugar says:
And the scene in Ottawa is going to be awful
Queen Sugar says:
EVERYONE's staying there for a few days
Queen Sugar says:
I'd have no escape
Monk says:
Maybe you'll be able to see your brother another time, knowing better where he is?
Queen Sugar says:
Actually, after this wedding, I think we'll probably never see him again
Queen Sugar says:
Remember that he didn't even tell us that he was moving to California. His fiance's mother told us
Queen Sugar says:
And after the wedding, I doubt we'll be hearing as much from them
Monk says:
I might consider just bringing a few books and suffering the family - maybe one last time with the bro.
Queen Sugar says:
NO.
Queen Sugar says:
It'll be so fucking awful. And I won't be able to smoke.
Queen Sugar says:
And it'll be fucking TERRIBLE.
Queen Sugar says:
NO WAY.
Monk says:
Okay, okay.... just musing.
Queen Sugar says:
I don't want to be stuck in Ottawa.
Queen Sugar says:
The only way I'll go is if I can go see Toronto and Montreal, or even just Montreal, without having to be stuck on the outskirts of Ottawa for four days
Monk says:
No friend can be interested in the 'vacation'?
Queen Sugar says:
Nobody can take time off of work on such short notice
Queen Sugar says:
Except for Graeme, of course, but now THAT'S definitely not happening
Monk says:
That's really too bad. Do you think your father might be willing to pay for the more expensive bus fare? If you can endure the long ride for the special occassion?
Monk says:
Surely, he would love for you and your bro to get together again.
Queen Sugar says:
My dad would pay for it sure,
Queen Sugar says:
But I'm really not doing that trip alone
Queen Sugar says:
It's just too far, I'd go crazy
Monk says:
Okay, so, are you at least able to go about Winnipeg and have some fun these days. The stripper club and such. Partying?
Queen Sugar says:
Stripper club?
Queen Sugar says:
Ehh
Monk says:
The amateur stuff.
Queen Sugar says:
I've been spending a lot of time out with friends
Queen Sugar says:
Oh
Queen Sugar says:
It's just a rock bar, not a stripper club
Queen Sugar says:
Haven't been going there as much now without Graeme, my other friends never want to go
Queen Sugar says:
Mostly I've been hanging out a lot with my friends Sarah and Martin
Queen Sugar says:
(Cuntracula and Rev_Toxicated on LJ)
Monk says:
And watching Oz dvds, heh.
Queen Sugar says:
Haha yeah
Monk says:
I saw it on HBO. I enjoyed it too.
Queen Sugar says:
We had started watching Oz with Graeme, well now the tradition continues without him
Queen Sugar says:
It's cool though, I'm glad I've gotten to be close with them
Queen Sugar says:
I knew them before Graeme but it was because of him that I staretd hanging out with them so much
Monk says:
are they a part of the rock scene, too
Queen Sugar says:
They're punks
Monk says:
You just didn't happen to get closer to them before - they were more part of Graeme's circle?
Queen Sugar says:
Yeah
Monk says:
Some longer-lasting good came out of it at least.
Queen Sugar says:
They're all part of the big punk crew that I vaguely knew many of them, but wasn't really close with them until I was hanging out with them through Graeme
Queen Sugar says:
Haha yeah
Queen Sugar says:
Actually, me and Graeme's brother are good friends now too
Queen Sugar says:
And me and two of Graeme's best friends are REALLY close.
Monk says:
Also Lipscantago - closer there too?
Queen Sugar says:
Yeah, he's one of the above mentioned
Queen Sugar says:
Rick
Monk says:
I remember when he was potential crush material...
Queen Sugar says:
Haha
Queen Sugar says:
It was funny
Queen Sugar says:
The other night he came over and we talked about Graeme and everything that had happened
Queen Sugar says:
And Rick was like, "I had the hugest Internet crush on you."
Monk says:
I thought he might have been caught in the middle.
Queen Sugar says:
And I was like, "well shit, I had the hugest Internet crush on YOU. So what happened?"
Queen Sugar says:
Naw. Rick's an extremely astute dude.
Queen Sugar says:
EXTREMELY astute.
Queen Sugar says:
He loves Graeme but he sees the situation very, very clearly. He sees how Graeme is and what happened.
Queen Sugar says:
He's smart enough to see the proof in the pudding, so to speak
Monk says:
How did the stars get crossed on you two?
Queen Sugar says:
I have no idea. It just didn't happen
Monk says:
I got the impression you weren't physically impressed with him. Is that true?
Queen Sugar says:
Oh no, I was and I am
Queen Sugar says:
He's definitely a cutie. Everyone thinks he's gorgeous
Monk says:
Most gals don't like them small, though.
Monk says:
Does he have girlfriends?
Queen Sugar says:
Ehh, I know a lot of chicks who dig little guys
Queen Sugar says:
Rick is VERY small though.
Queen Sugar says:
But yeah
Queen Sugar says:
Hilariously, he's actually fairly involved with this girl Jessica, who I used to work with at Soup Pierre and who I had a crush on years ago
Queen Sugar says:
She was a lesbian until she met Rick
Monk says:
LOL Well, I guess that says something big about Rick!
Queen Sugar says:
Haha
Queen Sugar says:
Yeah
Queen Sugar says:
I have no idea about the details of they're relationship. I don't know if they do either
Queen Sugar says:
But it's been ongoing for awhile and they seem to get closer as time goes on
Monk says:
And, changing gears roughly again, how is your writing career going? And your novel? Will you send it to me, too?
Queen Sugar says:
I will
Queen Sugar says:
I haven't done any more work on it since Friday
Queen Sugar says:
Haven't had a chance
Queen Sugar says:
Wirting career is REALLY slow
Queen Sugar says:
Almost no work at all
Monk says:
Sorry to hear that. I thought things were continuing to pick up - back at Uptown?
Queen Sugar says:
Just the one piece that I'm working on now
Monk says:
Before i forget, how are things with the CBC? Maybe I missed something.
Queen Sugar says:
Haven't heard anything yet
Queen Sugar says:
They tend to take a very long time in between setting things up
Monk says:
Did they actually air something of yours, though?
Queen Sugar says:
Not yet
Queen Sugar says:
I have to re-record the thing I auditioned with the second time because I got someone's last name wrong
Monk says:
Okay.... Are you still into outrageous boots?
Monk says:
And has your hair undergone other metamorphoses?
Queen Sugar says:
No
Queen Sugar says:
I can't afford a real haircut / color right now
Queen Sugar says:
So it's just growing out from the buzz job that Graeme gave it
Queen Sugar says:
It's kinda lank and gross
Monk says:
How about the boots?
Queen Sugar says:
Same as always, same as always
Queen Sugar says:
Haha
Queen Sugar says:
Nothing really changs
Queen Sugar says:
I haven't been wearing them because of the heat though
Monk says:
Clothes still make up the good part of your budget?
Monk says:
Well, I suppose I'm pretty talked out. I enjoyed getting to touch base with you again. Shall I let you free to the faster world?
Queen Sugar says:
Ehh
Queen Sugar says:
If you want. I'm bored anyway
Queen Sugar says:
I mean,
Queen Sugar says:
Not bored with the conversation
Monk says:
LOL its ok.
Queen Sugar says:
Bored with the outside world
Monk says:
I get that a lot.
Queen Sugar says:
I meant that talking with you is a nice distraction from the boredom elsewhere
Monk says:
No problem, babe. Seriously..
Queen Sugar says:
No, seriously
Monk says:
You reading more.
Queen Sugar says:
I can't find any good new books.
Queen Sugar says:
Which saddens me
Monk says:
Did you take a look at "A Peace to End All Peace"?
Queen Sugar says:
Not yet
Queen Sugar says:
I really don't have the cash to buy anything
Monk says:
I haven't reported on it. I like it, but it's ...
Monk says:
So much in one volume that I find it hard to tear off a piece and make it interesting to others. A very nice work, though. But it is big on the WWI history, which might be a bit of a turn off, but it is good background on the MIddle East. Fascinating.
Monk says:
Behind the scenes of the war and the tragi-comedy of human error and misunderstanding.
Queen Sugar says:
I'll try to find it
Queen Sugar says:
I'm really interested in getting Reading Lolita in Tehran
Monk says:
Ah, I hear that mentioned a lot. But, uh, I think I;ll just stick to the original Lolita of Nabokov.
Queen Sugar says:
Haha
Queen Sugar says:
I actually have been meaning to get that too
Queen Sugar says:
I've read it before but it's been a long time
Monk says:
I'm going to go ahead and get some lunch, I suppose. It was fun talking with you. And Lolita is one I re-read regularly, as you might imagine, heh. Bye, babe!
Queen Sugar says:
OK
Queen Sugar says:
Later Monk!
Monk says:
bye
Meredith says, "Hey, Melissa if i sent you a check would you send me a bottle of generic 222 with codeine?"
Queen Sugar says, "What's 222?"
Meredith says, "For my migranes."
Monk says, "But Canadian drugs aren't safe."
Queen Sugar says, "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...Haha."

You cannot have a video conference with more than one person.
You cannot have a video conference with more than one person.

Queen Sugar has been added to the conversation.

I see that!
Monk says:
Sorry, I;m new to this.
Queen Sugar says:
Haha
mgabe says:
add me to your list melissa
Queen Sugar says:
That's cool
Queen Sugar says:
One second
mgabe says:
got it
You have just sent a Nudge!
Queen Sugar says:
Oh god
Queen Sugar says:
I hate nudges
mgabe says:
so i would ask how are you but i've read your journal
Monk says:
I wanted to see if we were all aboard the same program.
mgabe says:
i nudge him when he dozes off
Queen Sugar says:
Heh
Queen Sugar says:
A mixture of good and bad, really
Queen Sugar says:
It's been a pretty intense month
mgabe says:
seems like it
Queen Sugar says:
Queen Sugar says:
Boys are trouble.
Queen Sugar says:
How have YOU been?
mgabe says:
boys lie make t hem cry
mgabe says:
i have a shirt that says that
Queen Sugar says:
Heh
mgabe says:
i wear it whever
Monk says:
I though you girls might have a word on musicians.
Monk says:
Gabe has some experience.
mgabe says:
musicians are into their egos
mgabe says:
i have a good time with them cuz i never feed their ego
mgabe says:
they never quite get me
Queen Sugar says:
What kind of word on musicians are you looking for? What's the context?
Queen Sugar says:
I could talk about musicians for ages
Monk says:
players.
mgabe says:
as boyfriends
Queen Sugar says:
Ah
Queen Sugar says:
It's more common. But it's also not nearly universal.
Queen Sugar says:
If I had to pick the most loyal and best boyfriends I've ever seen, they are all serious musicians.
Monk says:
Not Graeme?
mgabe says:
they play the field and the minute they realize you do n't give a shit you're a prize
Queen Sugar says:
Graeme's not really a serious musician. He's more just fucked up.
Queen Sugar says:
Ehhhh
Queen Sugar says:
I've known too many musicians as stellar human beings to agree with that as an absolute
Queen Sugar says:
Like Mark for instance, Monk.
mgabe says:
he's insecure he needs his ego fed by the masses
Queen Sugar says:
I don't think so
Queen Sugar says:
Graeme doesn't even really play shows
mgabe says:
not mark no clue who mark is
mgabe says:
oh a want to be
Queen Sugar says:
I used to call him Shelta on my old journal
Monk says:
I would agree there are no absolutes, but 'tis more common that with their opportunities, they tend to give in.
Queen Sugar says:
Monk.
Monk says:
Mark is a good friend of hers.
Queen Sugar says:
I appreciate what you're trying to say here, but I want to make something clear.
mgabe says:
kiss the experience bye bye and go to the next
Queen Sugar says:
Graeme is not a player. Absolutely not. At least not in my interpretation of the word.
mgabe says:
it's great therapy
Monk says:
Two girls at once fits my definition.
Queen Sugar says:
He's just a fucked up kid who has a lot of fucking issues, and who is angry and hates himself and makes bad decisions accordingly.
mgabe says:
that's the one that cheated right?
Queen Sugar says:
That's my ex, yes
Monk says:
Graeme is the one who cheated.
mgabe says:
he's a player
Queen Sugar says:
NO he isn't.
Queen Sugar says:
At least not in the sense that I define the word.
Queen Sugar says:
He doesn't have the balls to be a player. He's just weak.
mgabe says:
his style might be different but he is
Queen Sugar says:
No, he is NOT.
Queen Sugar says:
I'm sorry here.
Monk says:
It's best not to push hard, I suppose, Gabe.
mgabe says:
he has the balls to cheat he has the balls to play
Queen Sugar says:
But look, I've gone through a lot in the last month. And I don't mean to get testy. But the reality is that he is not a player.
Queen Sugar says:
He didn't cheat out of balls. He cheated out of weakness.
mgabe says:
well then let it go and go on to the next
Queen Sugar says:
Ehh
Queen Sugar says:
There aren't really any "nexts" at the moment
mgabe says:
there is no saving this one melissa
Monk says:
Soon.
Queen Sugar says:
The only one I could really think of is only in Winnipeg once every few months
mgabe says:
not everyone wants to be saved
Queen Sugar says:
I'm not trying to save it anymore.
Monk says:
That model/actor guy on your blog>
Queen Sugar says:
What?
Queen Sugar says:
No, he plays in a band called Mico.
Queen Sugar says:
His name, coincidentally, is John Stewart
Queen Sugar says:
Which I love.
Monk says:
LOL
mgabe says:
lol
Monk says:
A good looker, I suppose.
mgabe says:
hold on phone
Monk says:
k
Queen Sugar says:
He's cute, in a way
Monk says:
Tall, gangly type - like Gabe likes.
Queen Sugar says:
Short.
Queen Sugar says:
Hold on, I'll find a pic
Monk says:
cool
Queen Sugar says:
He fucking adores me.
Queen Sugar says:
Like, ADORES me
Monk says:
That's not hard to believe.
Queen Sugar says:
But he's rarely in town. He's sort of like the man-about-Canada
Queen Sugar says:
Yeah, but it's kinda hilarious how much he latched onto me
Queen Sugar says:
Graeme used to be insanely jealous of him
Monk says:
good
Monk says:
Can you have fun without it being love?
Queen Sugar says:
Hard to say. I tend to be an all-or-nothing type of girl
Queen Sugar says:
And I can't really tell if it's "there"
Monk says:
I don't think things have changed so much across the generations.
Queen Sugar says:
Because last time I saw him was three days after Graeme and I broke up, so I wasn't really in the mood
Queen Sugar says:
No, but like... I'm EXTREME like that.
Queen Sugar says:
Most of my girlfriends tend to date around and stuff
Monk says:
You were flirting with the idea of being different, yes - more casual?
Queen Sugar says:
I have that thing where it's like, either I meet someone and it's INTENSE from the first second, or else I never feel it and have no interest
Queen Sugar says:
Yeah, but I think that may be a lost cause for me
Queen Sugar says:
I tend to bring intensity with me
Monk says:
I suspect so. That may be good. You're a serious person.
Monk says:
I'm gonna nudge Gabe.
You have just sent a Nudge!
Monk says:
Heh, I love this MSN 7.
Queen Sugar says:
http://www.micoband.com/images/photos/mico_04.jpg
Queen Sugar says:
None of these pictures are very good
Queen Sugar says:
He's the one on the far right in the little golf hat
Monk says:
Heh, I was thinking he might be the one next to him. Yours looks like he has a devilish sense of humor, heh.
Queen Sugar says:
Oh, he does
Queen Sugar says:
He's hilarious
Monk says:
When is he back in town?
Queen Sugar says:
You know, I don't rightly know
Queen Sugar says:
He left a week and a half ago on tour with this band Projektor, then he was going back to either Calgary or Vancouver to finish up the new Mico record
Queen Sugar says:
He lives a very interesting life
Monk says:
Is he a guitarist, vocalist?
Queen Sugar says:
Both
Queen Sugar says:
He's old
Monk says:
How old?
Queen Sugar says:
He actually went to my high school and grew up exactly in my area of town
Queen Sugar says:
I think he's 33 now
Queen Sugar says:
OH
Monk says:
Gah, that's still a kid.
Queen Sugar says:
ANd also, he and Propagandhi (famous political punk band) used to live in the same house Josh and I lived in three years ago
Queen Sugar says:
His room was my room
Monk says:
His scent was still in the air.
Queen Sugar says:
Haha
Queen Sugar says:
Seven years later
Monk says:
Guys are rank.
mgabe says:
true
Monk says:
There you are!
Monk says:
I was hoping you two would do the bulk of the talking.
Queen Sugar says:
Hehe
Queen Sugar says:
Are you guys going to be around for like, seven minutes?
Queen Sugar says:
I have to run out and get cigarettes/
mgabe says:
okay melissa what despicable thing did you do - stick bamboo splinters in his kidneys
Monk says:
Are you going to stick around GAbe?
Queen Sugar says:
Oh, read back a few entries in my Renawyn journal
Queen Sugar says:
Stick around dudes, I'll be right back
Monk says:
I'll be back, too = taking the dog out. Keep the window oopen
Queen Sugar says:
ok
Queen Sugar says:
Let me know when you return, I'll do the same
Monk says:
Gabe, stick around!
Queen Sugar says:
Talk to you in a few
mgabe says:
i have an appointment at 2 pm remember
Monk says:
Another ten minutes?
mgabe says:
yes
Monk says:
Gets dressed now as we take care of this.
mgabe says:
i think melissa should tie a really heavy weight on one of his nutsacks and let him dangle from the ceiling my his thumbs
Monk says:
lol brb
You have just sent a Nudge!
mgabe says:
lol
Monk says:
You there, Meredith>?
mgabe says:
gabe
Monk says:
Okay.
mgabe says:
meredith gabrielle
Monk says:
And then my name?
mgabe says:
bobby
Monk says:
No, my last name added to yours?
mgabe says:
LOL
mgabe says:
freak
Monk says:
What time must you go. How long does it take you to get to your interview?
mgabe says:
1
Monk says:
You have to leave in 20 minutes?
mgabe says:
i must be there at 2 but i like being eearly
mgabe says:
yes
Monk says:
I was thinking you gals would do most of the talking and I'd just eavesdrop.
mgabe says:
i gotta go can't miss this then walmart for three pound weights and meds
Monk says:
And you have to bike. So, I'll be alone until tonight?
Queen Sugar says:
I'm baaack
Monk says:
Good to see you.
Queen Sugar says:
Yep
mgabe says:
scroll up to see waht i said you should do to this guy
mgabe says:
the one about his nutsack
Monk says:
You and Gabe chained to cigarrettes.
Queen Sugar says:
Hehe
Queen Sugar says:
Cigarettes are delicious
Queen Sugar says:
I just wish I could breathe
mgabe says:
yes
mgabe says:
and with total toothpaste they keep your teeth white
Monk says:
Good rationalization!
Queen Sugar says:
Yeah, but my teeth are fake now anyway
Queen Sugar says:
I don't think the fake toothpaste works on bonding, I think I just have to get it redone every so often
mgabe says:
beside's im a bitch without a smoke
Queen Sugar says:
Hehe
Queen Sugar says:
I'm rarely, if ever, without one
Monk says:
A guy just has to suffer, I suppose.
Monk says:
If they want your company,.
Queen Sugar says:
Heh
mgabe says:
you like suffering
Queen Sugar says:
Well, it certainly helps if they smoke
Queen Sugar says:
Rwar
mgabe says:
monk i tell you you do
Monk says:
only for love.
Monk says:
Gabe said she will do the shots to quit smoking, no?
mgabe says:
love is an illusion
Monk says:
It's a good illusion.
mgabe says:
my son bugs me enough
Monk says:
Life is an illusion.
Queen Sugar says:
This little exchange seems like it should be in a movie
Monk says:
The movie would be too sappy for Gabe's taste.
mgabe says:
no it's not i just pinched myself and it hurt
mgabe says:
what sappy movie is that
Monk says:
A talky movie about love and illusion. You like scary/suspense movies.
mgabe says:
oh
mgabe says:
i'm steaming in this sundress
Monk says:
But you'll dazzle on the interview. Forget the sweater!
mgabe says:
i have a tattoo on my arm
Monk says:
oops
mgabe says:
it's still the post office remember
Monk says:
Paying for your sins.
Monk says:
This is what tattoos do for you!
Queen Sugar says:
Heh
Queen Sugar says:
I gotta get another one this summer
Queen Sugar says:
It's been long enough
mgabe says:
hiding my tongue ring shouldn't be a problem i don't play with it
Monk says:
Oh no!!
mgabe says:
tattoos rock
Queen Sugar says:
I'm thinking red nautical stars on the back of my wrists
Monk says:
Where is that idea from?
mgabe says:
cool
Queen Sugar says:
Oh, it's just standard classic tattoo stuff
Queen Sugar says:
Nothing very original. Everyone and their dog as nautical stars now
mgabe says:
monk when are you getting your tattoo
Monk says:
You don't fancy being more individualistic?
Queen Sugar says:
Either that, or I want to get: "Thig crioch air an t-saoghal, ach mairidh ceol agus gaol" in circular script between my shoulderblades
mgabe says:
lol like ,y uterus
Monk says:
I said I only have one in mind, if the occassion rises.
mgabe says:
send melissa my uterus one monk
Queen Sugar says:
Haha
Monk says:
That's too individualistic, Melissa.
mgabe says:
the artist in amsterdam had a great understanding of what i wanted
Queen Sugar says:
No such thing as too... the quote means a lot to me, I want to keep it
mgabe says:
you ought to see it
Monk says:
Let me see if I can find it.
mgabe says:
it's moe-1 i think
Queen Sugar says:
Haha. This reminds me of how I still have a standing offer with either Graeme or my friend Sarah that if they get a tattoo of a taco, just a taco, in a really obvious place, I'll pay for it
mgabe says:
it's not in your porn files
mgabe says:
send her the one of when i just got back
Monk says:
I'm looking now hon.
mgabe says:
it's a clearer pic of the stylized uterus
Monk says:
I believe she got it!
Queen Sugar says:
Haha
Queen Sugar says:
That's awesome
Monk says:
A nice white you with a greenish thing.
Monk says:
You there, Gabe?
Monk winks:
Play "Knock"
Monk says:
It's a nice statement.
Monk says:
I like the color.
Monk says:
GABE!!!! Are we still together?
mgabe says:
hold on i had to pee
mgabe says:
let me read back
mgabe says:
ok i''''''''''''m caught u p
Monk says:
Melissa, it might be a good idea to think of what you want to get, if you must get another tattoo.
mgabe says:
I CAN'T GET USED TO A KEYBOARD A NYMORE
Monk says:
In time...
Queen Sugar says:
I already did dude, I told you
Monk says:
Now, I'm wondering whether we've lost Melissa...
mgabe says:
hey melissa if i sentyou a check would you send me a bottle of generic 222 with codeine
Queen Sugar says:
What's 222?
mgabe says:
for my migranes
Monk says:
But Canadian drugs aren't safe.
Queen Sugar says:
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Queen Sugar says:
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Queen Sugar says:
Haha.
mgabe says:
it's an aspirin thing you guys have that has codeine
mgabe says:
as the pharmacists
Queen Sugar says:
I've never heard of 222 before in my life
mgabe says:
that was what it was called when i was still playing
Monk says:
Gabe, you don't really want CANADIAN drugs, do you?
mgabe says:
ask your friendly neighborhood pharmacists
Queen Sugar says:
Is it over the counter?
mgabe says:
yes i do monk
mgabe says:
yes it is
mgabe says:
over the counter
Queen Sugar says:
Weird, I have no idea why I've never heard of it
Queen Sugar says:
Sure, if you sent cash I'd send it over
mgabe says:
my friend brought me some two summers ago
mgabe says:
ok just find out how much
mgabe says:
shipping and everything
Queen Sugar says:
KO
Queen Sugar says:
I mean, OK
mgabe says:
but first we must find out if it changed it's name
mgabe says:
or if it has a generic brand with codeine also
Queen Sugar says:
Well, I just found it here

Monk says:
How about some of that medical marijuana, since we're cracking down harder on it here?
Queen Sugar says:
Haha
Queen Sugar says:
I can't get ahold of that.
mgabe says:
why not
mgabe says:
it used to be in a bottle
Monk says:
It was low-grade marijuana anyway.
Monk says:
The government's.
Queen Sugar says:
Yeah, the government's sucked shit
Queen Sugar says:
From what I heard
Queen Sugar says:
Hence the Compassion Clubs
Monk says:
lol
mgabe says:
oh my god they have generic ambien
mgabe says:
there ought to be a bottle with not quite so many sold at the drug stores
mgabe says:
ooops
mgabe says:
kids gotta go
Queen Sugar says:
OK
Queen Sugar says:
Later Gabe
mgabe says:
don't want to be late
mgabe says:
have fun
Monk says:
Oh, babe.
Queen Sugar says:
Come back more often
mgabe says:
nice seeing you again melissa
Queen Sugar says:
Goodluck
Queen Sugar says:
Indeed!
mgabe says:
AND REMEMBER
mgabe says:
NO FIXING THE BROKEN THINGS YOU FIND
Queen Sugar says:
Haha
mgabe says:
sometimes you just can't
mgabe has left the conversation.
Monk says:
Oh, I feel naked now.
Monk says:
I'm just a hanger-on.
Monk says:
Do you want to say bye, too, Melissa?
You have just sent a Nudge!
Queen Sugar says:
I can keep hanging out if you want to
Queen Sugar says:
It's up to you
Monk says:
I can try. I just feel awkward - not much of a conversationalist.
Queen Sugar says:
Haha
Queen Sugar says:
That's ok
Queen Sugar says:
It was nice to see Gabe again
Monk says:
You aren't letting this Graeme matter take you down hard?
Queen Sugar says:
Oh no, not at all
Queen Sugar says:
It's just more bullshit is all
Monk says:
We should be seeing more of Gabe soon.
Queen Sugar says:
I mean, it certainly isn't like rainbows and sunshine in the mornings
Queen Sugar says:
But things are okay for me. And deep down he knows what a fuck he's being.
Monk says:
Does this mean no more intimacy between you two?
Queen Sugar says:
Hahahahaha
Monk says:
Or is it still an open question>?
Queen Sugar says:
Oh no. That was over with the moment I sent that letter.
Queen Sugar says:
And you know, I won't be so dumb as to say "never again in the future, ever"
Queen Sugar says:
But certainly we won't be speaking or communicating in any way for a very, very long time.
Monk says:
But if he comes at your door smiling with an apology and his need?
Queen Sugar says:
I'd talk to him.
Queen Sugar says:
But a lot would have to change. and he'd have to prove that it had changed and that it was going to STAY changed.
Queen Sugar says:
Won't happen though.
Queen Sugar says:
He hates himself too much to ever do anything like that.
Monk says:
Are you still at that store - haven't heard about that in a long time?
Queen Sugar says:
Ehhh
Queen Sugar says:
Like once a week
Monk says:
Things still looking good for Red River?
Queen Sugar says:
Well, I mean, I was accepted, no real surprise there
Queen Sugar says:
So I'm just dreading getting back to it, but I'll try to figure out how to make it better on myself
Monk says:
And when it that Montreal trip?
Queen Sugar says:
Fuck it, I don't know
Queen Sugar says:
It totally depends how I'm getting there
Queen Sugar says:
I have no idea. THe wedding's on the 9th
Queen Sugar says:
I may not even go at all.
Monk says:
Gotta take the opportunity to see the special brother.
Queen Sugar says:
Sucks Graeme and I broke up when we did. If we could have held it off for another month, he would have driven with me
Monk says:
Cannot suffer a bus service?
Queen Sugar says:
It's too late now to get the good fare
Queen Sugar says:
Also, I don't want to bus it alone for that lon
Queen Sugar says:
Only to ended up stranded with the family in Ottawa for a bunch of days
Monk says:
I would think your father might be able to offer a solution - a rental car perhaps.
Queen Sugar says:
No
Queen Sugar says:
He's renting a car himself
Queen Sugar says:
He's flying to Toronto, renting a car, driving to Ottawa, then to Montreal, then back to Toronto, then flying home
Queen Sugar says:
He wouldn't pony up the cash for me to get to Toronto and rent another car, he'd think it unnecessary
Monk says:
Cannot go with him?
Queen Sugar says:
I can't stand that much time stuck with my family
Queen Sugar says:
And the scene in Ottawa is going to be awful
Queen Sugar says:
EVERYONE's staying there for a few days
Queen Sugar says:
I'd have no escape
Monk says:
Maybe you'll be able to see your brother another time, knowing better where he is?
Queen Sugar says:
Actually, after this wedding, I think we'll probably never see him again
Queen Sugar says:
Remember that he didn't even tell us that he was moving to California. His fiance's mother told us
Queen Sugar says:
And after the wedding, I doubt we'll be hearing as much from them
Monk says:
I might consider just bringing a few books and suffering the family - maybe one last time with the bro.
Queen Sugar says:
NO.
Queen Sugar says:
It'll be so fucking awful. And I won't be able to smoke.
Queen Sugar says:
And it'll be fucking TERRIBLE.
Queen Sugar says:
NO WAY.
Monk says:
Okay, okay.... just musing.
Queen Sugar says:
I don't want to be stuck in Ottawa.
Queen Sugar says:
The only way I'll go is if I can go see Toronto and Montreal, or even just Montreal, without having to be stuck on the outskirts of Ottawa for four days
Monk says:
No friend can be interested in the 'vacation'?
Queen Sugar says:
Nobody can take time off of work on such short notice
Queen Sugar says:
Except for Graeme, of course, but now THAT'S definitely not happening
Monk says:
That's really too bad. Do you think your father might be willing to pay for the more expensive bus fare? If you can endure the long ride for the special occassion?
Monk says:
Surely, he would love for you and your bro to get together again.
Queen Sugar says:
My dad would pay for it sure,
Queen Sugar says:
But I'm really not doing that trip alone
Queen Sugar says:
It's just too far, I'd go crazy
Monk says:
Okay, so, are you at least able to go about Winnipeg and have some fun these days. The stripper club and such. Partying?
Queen Sugar says:
Stripper club?
Queen Sugar says:
Ehh
Monk says:
The amateur stuff.
Queen Sugar says:
I've been spending a lot of time out with friends
Queen Sugar says:
Oh
Queen Sugar says:
It's just a rock bar, not a stripper club
Queen Sugar says:
Haven't been going there as much now without Graeme, my other friends never want to go
Queen Sugar says:
Mostly I've been hanging out a lot with my friends Sarah and Martin
Queen Sugar says:
(Cuntracula and Rev_Toxicated on LJ)
Monk says:
And watching Oz dvds, heh.
Queen Sugar says:
Haha yeah
Monk says:
I saw it on HBO. I enjoyed it too.
Queen Sugar says:
We had started watching Oz with Graeme, well now the tradition continues without him
Queen Sugar says:
It's cool though, I'm glad I've gotten to be close with them
Queen Sugar says:
I knew them before Graeme but it was because of him that I staretd hanging out with them so much
Monk says:
are they a part of the rock scene, too
Queen Sugar says:
They're punks
Monk says:
You just didn't happen to get closer to them before - they were more part of Graeme's circle?
Queen Sugar says:
Yeah
Monk says:
Some longer-lasting good came out of it at least.
Queen Sugar says:
They're all part of the big punk crew that I vaguely knew many of them, but wasn't really close with them until I was hanging out with them through Graeme
Queen Sugar says:
Haha yeah
Queen Sugar says:
Actually, me and Graeme's brother are good friends now too
Queen Sugar says:
And me and two of Graeme's best friends are REALLY close.
Monk says:
Also Lipscantago - closer there too?
Queen Sugar says:
Yeah, he's one of the above mentioned
Queen Sugar says:
Rick
Monk says:
I remember when he was potential crush material...
Queen Sugar says:
Haha
Queen Sugar says:
It was funny
Queen Sugar says:
The other night he came over and we talked about Graeme and everything that had happened
Queen Sugar says:
And Rick was like, "I had the hugest Internet crush on you."
Monk says:
I thought he might have been caught in the middle.
Queen Sugar says:
And I was like, "well shit, I had the hugest Internet crush on YOU. So what happened?"
Queen Sugar says:
Naw. Rick's an extremely astute dude.
Queen Sugar says:
EXTREMELY astute.
Queen Sugar says:
He loves Graeme but he sees the situation very, very clearly. He sees how Graeme is and what happened.
Queen Sugar says:
He's smart enough to see the proof in the pudding, so to speak
Monk says:
How did the stars get crossed on you two?
Queen Sugar says:
I have no idea. It just didn't happen
Monk says:
I got the impression you weren't physically impressed with him. Is that true?
Queen Sugar says:
Oh no, I was and I am
Queen Sugar says:
He's definitely a cutie. Everyone thinks he's gorgeous
Monk says:
Most gals don't like them small, though.
Monk says:
Does he have girlfriends?
Queen Sugar says:
Ehh, I know a lot of chicks who dig little guys
Queen Sugar says:
Rick is VERY small though.
Queen Sugar says:
But yeah
Queen Sugar says:
Hilariously, he's actually fairly involved with this girl Jessica, who I used to work with at Soup Pierre and who I had a crush on years ago
Queen Sugar says:
She was a lesbian until she met Rick
Monk says:
LOL Well, I guess that says something big about Rick!
Queen Sugar says:
Haha
Queen Sugar says:
Yeah
Queen Sugar says:
I have no idea about the details of they're relationship. I don't know if they do either
Queen Sugar says:
But it's been ongoing for awhile and they seem to get closer as time goes on
Monk says:
And, changing gears roughly again, how is your writing career going? And your novel? Will you send it to me, too?
Queen Sugar says:
I will
Queen Sugar says:
I haven't done any more work on it since Friday
Queen Sugar says:
Haven't had a chance
Queen Sugar says:
Wirting career is REALLY slow
Queen Sugar says:
Almost no work at all
Monk says:
Sorry to hear that. I thought things were continuing to pick up - back at Uptown?
Queen Sugar says:
Just the one piece that I'm working on now
Monk says:
Before i forget, how are things with the CBC? Maybe I missed something.
Queen Sugar says:
Haven't heard anything yet
Queen Sugar says:
They tend to take a very long time in between setting things up
Monk says:
Did they actually air something of yours, though?
Queen Sugar says:
Not yet
Queen Sugar says:
I have to re-record the thing I auditioned with the second time because I got someone's last name wrong
Monk says:
Okay.... Are you still into outrageous boots?
Monk says:
And has your hair undergone other metamorphoses?
Queen Sugar says:
No
Queen Sugar says:
I can't afford a real haircut / color right now
Queen Sugar says:
So it's just growing out from the buzz job that Graeme gave it
Queen Sugar says:
It's kinda lank and gross
Monk says:
How about the boots?
Queen Sugar says:
Same as always, same as always
Queen Sugar says:
Haha
Queen Sugar says:
Nothing really changs
Queen Sugar says:
I haven't been wearing them because of the heat though
Monk says:
Clothes still make up the good part of your budget?
Monk says:
Well, I suppose I'm pretty talked out. I enjoyed getting to touch base with you again. Shall I let you free to the faster world?
Queen Sugar says:
Ehh
Queen Sugar says:
If you want. I'm bored anyway
Queen Sugar says:
I mean,
Queen Sugar says:
Not bored with the conversation
Monk says:
LOL its ok.
Queen Sugar says:
Bored with the outside world
Monk says:
I get that a lot.
Queen Sugar says:
I meant that talking with you is a nice distraction from the boredom elsewhere
Monk says:
No problem, babe. Seriously..
Queen Sugar says:
No, seriously
Monk says:
You reading more.
Queen Sugar says:
I can't find any good new books.
Queen Sugar says:
Which saddens me
Monk says:
Did you take a look at "A Peace to End All Peace"?
Queen Sugar says:
Not yet
Queen Sugar says:
I really don't have the cash to buy anything
Monk says:
I haven't reported on it. I like it, but it's ...
Monk says:
So much in one volume that I find it hard to tear off a piece and make it interesting to others. A very nice work, though. But it is big on the WWI history, which might be a bit of a turn off, but it is good background on the MIddle East. Fascinating.
Monk says:
Behind the scenes of the war and the tragi-comedy of human error and misunderstanding.
Queen Sugar says:
I'll try to find it
Queen Sugar says:
I'm really interested in getting Reading Lolita in Tehran
Monk says:
Ah, I hear that mentioned a lot. But, uh, I think I;ll just stick to the original Lolita of Nabokov.
Queen Sugar says:
Haha
Queen Sugar says:
I actually have been meaning to get that too
Queen Sugar says:
I've read it before but it's been a long time
Monk says:
I'm going to go ahead and get some lunch, I suppose. It was fun talking with you. And Lolita is one I re-read regularly, as you might imagine, heh. Bye, babe!
Queen Sugar says:
OK
Queen Sugar says:
Later Monk!
Monk says:
bye
