Deceptacon

Every day and night I can see your disco dick is sucking my heart out of my mind.

I'm outta time, I'm outta f*ckin' time.

I'm a gasoline gut with a vaseline mind but wanna disco? Wanna see me disco?

Let me hear you depoliticize my rhyme

One, two, three, four...you got what you been asking for.

You're so policy free and your fantasy wheels and everything you think and everything you feel is alright.

It's alright.

I take you home now, watch me get you hot. You're just a parrot when you're screaming and you're shouting "More crackers please, more crackers please"

You want what you want but you don't wanna be on your knees.

Who took the Bomp from the Bompalompalomp?

Who took the Ram from the Ramalamading dong?

Because I'm so bored that I'd be entertained even by a stupid f*ckin' linoleum floor.

Your lyrics are dumb like a linoleum floor.

I'll walk on it. I'll walk all over you.

Walk on it, walk on it, walking one, two

Update before the New Year!

I'm in a really good place right now...overall.

The past few months have been weird, trying to adjust living back in Toronto, reconnecting with old friends, and just applying for a new job. However, I can say that the last few months has also been an amazing adventure...and I feel like I've made some major accomplishments.

Tonight was my last class...and I've finally finished up my postgraduate diploma in counselling and diagnosis. I thought at first I was crazy starting my postgrad. like 5 days after I moved back to Toronto from London, however...if I can recommend something...if you're not doing your Masters or Professional school right away....or if you're having trouble finding a job in your field once out of school - DO POSTGRADUATE work!!! Its finally paid off!!! I've now applied to do my Masters in Psychology and am currently waiting for a reply (well it won't arrive for the new few months). I figured that if I don't get in I'd just keep working so that I can get some great experience in my field.

So how did it finally pay off? I just recently received an amazing position as an ABA therapist at a Clinic that specializes in developmental disorders at Yonge and Davisville. ABA stands for Applied Behavioral Analysis...and my clients will be individuals who have developmental impairments, such as autism for example. I begin January 4th and I'm really looking forward to it. I've enjoyed working as a teaching assistant at the school, however, working with kids (well at least 25 all at once) is not really my thing. They're cute..but honestly...its really tiring...and I've really learned to appreciate teachers (especially ones that work with little monkeys like I did).

As most of you know, Ian and I are moving in together as of January 1st!!! We're going to be downtown, close to the Eaton's Centre..and its going to be easy for both of us to get to work, yay! Ian is doing very well at his company, working as an adventure specialist, and he's loving it!!! I couldn't be happier for him! I'm so in love and really excited about living with Ian. To be honest, I never thought I'd be able to live with a boy...but Ian takes such good care of me...and he's truly my best friend! I know it will be challenging...but I feel deep down in my heart...that this will be great!


Things I want to do in the next few weeks/months:

• take a trip up to London and visit my fabulous friends (oh how I miss you guys!!!)
• go skiing and try snowboarding (ian, sarah and brandon..when are we gonna do this? ian has already taken out his snowboard and is excited!!!)
• i want to see the following movies: syriana, king kong, the family stone, and memoires of a geisha.
• wow, thats actually all i want to do for now. i'm really looking forward to having evenings off (cause i no longer have class)!!! yay!!! and living downtown!!!

I wish you all the best for the New Year! May good health and good friends always be at your doorstep!

xoxo,

annie!

THE POLITICAL CONTROVERSY OF DEEPA MEHTA'S FILM - "WATER"

Water is a film about Indian widows in the 1930s. In the past, many women whose husbands have died are forced to enter "widow houses." Without a husband they are labelled as "worthless" and I remember one character in the film who was accidently touched by one of the widows said: "You've touched me, I am now polluted, I must go back into the river to bathe again." These widows struggle to survive by begging and often turn to prostitution. It happened in the ‘30s and is still happening today. At present, approximately 34 million widows still follow this tradition that was started 2000 years ago.

The chosen location for Water was the holy city of Varanasi, a place where widow houses still exist. There is a building on the Ganges that was left in a will to shelter widows, but a disobedient landlord has converted the top two floors into a restaurant and guest house, while the lower floor, which is completely rundown, houses widows.

This film takes place during the rise of the independence struggles against British colonial rule. It focuses on a relationship between one of the widows, Kalyani, who wants to escape the social restrictions imposed on widows, and a man who is from a lower caste and a follower of Mahatma Gandhi.

At times this movie was hilarious and Ian and I were laughing. The cinematography is absolutely stunning and Ian kept pointing out parts of the movie where he had been, and saying that watching this film made him feel nostalgic. By the end of the movie I was seriously crying...it was very heavy, so sad, yet so happy. Truly a powerful film. Its in subtitles, but there isn't that much talking that it will make you lose focus. Apparently this is a trilogy and there are 2 other films that come before this one, Fire, and Earth.

Due to the controversy of this film, many Hindu fundamentalists were outraged and the film director, Deepa Mehta was sent many death threats that she had to stop showing the film in India years ago. However, this film was a great success at the Toronto Film Festival. Just go watch it...damn!

Animotion

You are an obsession. I cannot sleep. I am your possession. Unopened at your feet. There's no balance, no equality. Be still. I will not accept defeat, I will have you. Yes, I will have you. I will find a way and I will have you. Like a butterfly, a wild butterly, I will collect you and capture you.

You are an obsession. You're my obsession. Who do you want me to be? To make you sleep with me ...

I feed you I drink you. My day and my night I need you I need you. By sun or candlelight, you protest. You want to leave. Stay Oh, there's no alternative.

Your face appears again I see the beauty there But I see danger Stranger beware A circumstance In your naked dreams. Your affection is not what it seems...

My fantasy has turned to madness and all my goodness has turned to badness. My need to possess you has consumed my soul. My life is trembling, I have no control.
