So last night I stayed up a little later then usual because I was having the most random, although interesting conversation with Mike on the phone.\u00a0 Which may I add (should he happen to read this) his roommate & I won a \\”bet\\” about the weather.\u00a0 Would it snow before or after Halloween, we both said before<\/span> (has to stick & stay white on the ground according to him) and well sure enough its fucking snowing!\u00a0 Welcome to your first winter in Mtl Mike, your in a for a treat (Toronto ain\\’t go nufin on this place!) \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Anyway then as I\\’m about to go to bed, I get a text message at 12:07am out of nowhere that said:\u00a0 \\”I need you to tell me more about the HSV\u00a0 thing its freaking me out\\”<\/em>.\u00a0 HSV (Herpes simplex virus) should only raise cause for ANY<\/strong><\/em><\/span> type of alarm IF<\/strong><\/em><\/span> its<\/p>\n

HSV-2 which is genital herpes<\/a><\/span> (that sounds like a ton of fun!<\/span> relationship killer) whereas<\/p>\n

HSV-1 isn\\’t so bad because its nothing more then a cold sore *ahem* <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

So yeah said person (they know who they are and yes they do on occasion read my blog so no need to name names) apparently isn\\’t talking to me anymore because of a fucking cold sore I had two months ago.\u00a0\u00a0 Except said person needs to grow a pair and actually say so, I don\\’t go away that easily…\u00a0 But yeah OK saying you have herpes is a hell of a lot more damming\/cryptic\/nasty whatever then saying you have a cold sore but guess what ladies & gentleman chances are that you<\/em><\/strong> have the virus too and don\\’t even know it! Its as common as a cold and easily spread and more often then not people come in contact with it in their infancy.\u00a0 However its So flipping minor, well at least hsv-1 is, that there\\’s no legitimate reason to get your panties in a knot over it.<\/p>\n

So yes while you can in theory get genital herpes from HSV-1 its STILL<\/strong><\/em> only the HSV-1 strain, NOT<\/strong> HSV-2 which is FAR<\/strong> more damming then HSV-1.\u00a0 Its pretty simple, you have a cold sore\/fever blister outbreak, keep your lips to yourself!\u00a0 My Doctor & both my dentists told me that the only way HSV-1 can spread is *IF*<\/strong><\/em><\/span> you actually have an open cold sore, HSV-2 well again that\\’s a whole other story.\u00a0 I honestly couldn\\’t imagine what on earth I would do if I ended up with this<\/a> (its a tad graphic) all over my genitals *shudder*!\u00a0 Christ I have a fit if I have razor burn, never mind anything else!<\/p>\n

Thankfully, on the rare occasions I actually have a cold sore( I almost never get them, I\\’ve only actually ever had 3); I get uber paranoid about bacteria (well I already am, hate germs) but I kick the precautions up an extra 100 notches to make damn sure that the cold sore stays in the microscopic section of my lip and NO WHERE ELSE<\/strong><\/em>. \u00a0\u00a0 Not only that, I see my obgyn every 6 months and even though my sex life is non exsistant and has been for a while I still get my blood work done every 3 months just because I\\’m paranoid<\/span> cautious, aside from the fact that I have to get regular stuff checked anyway (sugar levels & blah blah blah) because of that incident in the summer of my blood pressure being sky high & what not.\u00a0\u00a0 So I figure if your siphoning blood out of me anyway, might as well cover all the bases and thank God I am STD free and I WILL stay that way too!<\/p>\n

So I think <\/em>that\\’s just really a total cop out…\u00a0 This \\”incident\\” occured 2 months ago and its only creeping you out now?\u00a0 WTF?\u00a0 Makes no sense to me, other then the one comment that they made in conjunction with me possibly being dissapointed (with what I STILL have NO idea).\u00a0 Well I have some semblance of a clue I suppose based solely on an assumption due to a comment they made once a while ago.\u00a0 I got news for them however, I have ways of finding things out<\/em> (sneaky stalker ninja Steph) and they\\’re NO where near as hideous as they may think <\/em>they are.\u00a0 My opinion actually such as it is, not that it matters now anyway couldn\\’t be MORE opposite but whatever…\u00a0 Ah sometimes I DO love the internet \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I am also not the only one who thinks this whole situation is ridiculous either( not only that but I expected a little more from them and thought they were smarter then that)…\u00a0 Whilst gabbing<\/span> gossiping\/venting with a few friends on MSN, this was the \\’jist of it:
\nC i lack words in danish, Spanish, Swedish AND English to describe how low that is lol
\nD: He wont talk to you because of THAT? wtf?
\nSteph says:
\nI know! OHHHH I\\”M SO pissed!
\nC says:you should be..
\nSteph says: Thanks! Glad someone agrees with me!
\nC says:that\\’s just incredible lame lol i cant believe he ignores you because of some cold sores..
\nSteph: I\\’ve only had one in the past 5 years, likely due to the extreme stress of Jason dying, the time before that was about a month before I moved here and the time before that I was like 11
\nC says: damn >.<<\/p>\n

So that being said, went on another job interview after work today.\u00a0 Jason the actual manager was off somewhere so I was talking to the sous Chef and that was well \\”interesting\\” to say the least.\u00a0 Bottom line for me on that Bistro job? Its an insult to my qualifications\/bank account and my all around personal integrity as a whole.\u00a0 So came home and applied for a few more that I know I\\’m not<\/strong> over qualified for (for a change!) and I need to call Dominic as well sometime soon to see about doing a trial run in his kitchen.\u00a0 It was such a\u00a0 sketchy interview though!\u00a0 Not only that, a lot of time has passed between Saturday and today so I have my doubts but ain\\’t going to know squat unless you try.\u00a0 So try I shall…\u00a0 I\\’m running out of time here though.\u00a0 My rent ain\\’t going to wait or anything else for that matter!<\/p>\n

On a final note, my lovely friend and I have a long running inside joke about heels & fancy drinks \ud83d\ude09\u00a0 So while doing a shoot, she was the first person I thought of (with someone else a close second) when I seen this image (well one of them anyway).<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
