I Want to Hear You Sad

I have been nicknamed "emo" by Gilberto and Natalie.
This is how I found out

**Natlie and Gilberto discussing plans to go to France this weekend**

Natalie: Well you better work it out, because emo **points to me** and Steph thought you were going to Montreaux

Me: Did you just call me emo?

Gilberto: I said I was going towards Montreaux, in that general direction

Natalie: Don't lie, Montreaux isn't even in that direction

Me: Did you call me emo?

Gilberto:
It doesn't matter, Steph will come to (name of french city), and then so will emo.

Me: When did you give me this nick name? Are you talking about me?

**laughing**

Natalie: I pointed at you.


Later, when I left my desk to have a meeting with one of our campaign leaders, I came back to see that Natalie had defaced a photo of Frankie and I, placing on top of my head a cut out piece of black paper in the shape of swoop side part bangs. I never looked so good.

It's brilliant, really. I'm not taking it down.

After lunch we watched emo youtube videos.

Anyways, I don't know why Gilberto has decided that I'm emo. I mean, does emo (as an actual music genre) even exist anymore? (if you say my chemical romance I will kick you in the pants) I keep trying to explain that scenesters are the new deal, hippsters, you know. But its like in one ear out the other with them.

But now I'm downloading all that music from first year that reminds me of Shylah and her yellow "taking back sunday" shirt...or was it brand new? and carolines thick framed glasses and wrist bands and the first time shylah try to do side bangs and looked like a boy because only boys were doing side bangs then and when we created dashysm while writing really bad essays late at night and the exploited poster shylah had in her room and going to the dashboard concert in mississauga and seeing say anything for the first time and buying pins off the internet. ... ..

I should stop while I'm ahead.

yesterday was the beginning of fette du geneve - anticipate a picture/photo blog in about 9 days (the celebrations go for 10 days - its like a giant carnival that never stops for a week - and the rides could seriously kick the ass of the crappy carnival rides that we get in mall parking lots)

Also, my camera is dead, broken, never to be used again.
Donate money to me.
For now, I'm using Steph's camera. But, I need a new one.
Mine is seriously out of commission.
