   "And what did you think we would find?/
Traveled a million miles but still no sign/
And what did they think we would find?/
Pilot to anyone, we've all gone blind..." -David Usher (Message Home)

Oh my God. There's snow. I can't believe it. Less than an inch, but still. After not having any since umm... maybe September, it's kind of a nice change. After all, this is Canada, the Great White North. Although this winter it's been more like the Great Brown North.. Ehhh...

So when I put in my David Usher CD (hence the lyrics) this weird media player popped up. Usually Windows Media Player is the one to recognize audio discs, but not this time. Ever happened to anyone else? I don't even know WHAT media player it IS. Kinda creepy. It works though, and that's all I care about.

Speaking of David Usher, I have finally realized the reason that none of you (except Sita) have ever heard of him. Or Matt Good. Or the Tragically Hip. Or Big Sugar... All are wicked bands. But the reason is because all are Canadian. They don't win Grammys. They win Junos. It's sad. I must at least attempt to make known their greatness.. I can only yell at you people so much. FIND THEM! Heheh..

Last bit of news is that I have cleaned up my friends list a little bit. Anyone who hasn't either updated in the last month, or visited me in that much time... bye bye. Hey, I'll add them back if they want, but there's no point in having their name sit there if they're not around for no reason..

So. Happy Valentine's Everyone! I was caught unawares again and didn't make cards or anything, so hugs, kisses, chocolates and flowers to all!

   "Well, it's better to burn out than play/
It makes no difference anyway/
Just remember, if it ever comes your way/
That everybody wants to be in independent luxury/
Everybody wants to see the enemy/
A remedy for independent luxury..." -Soundtrack of Our Lives (Independant Luxury)

Hahaha! Well good work to those of you who managed to find the secret link(s). Ever get there Sita? If not, I will actually just give it to you. Just ask.. Ze bluedemonboy is a cheater! *points* HYPERLINK! So not fair. Ahhh well.. all in good fun. And I'm glad to hear you guys don't think it looks like crap. Of course that'd be quite the thing to say to someone... just imagine..

Con says: how's my hair look?
Random friend says: It looks like crap. What the hell happened?
Con says: Ouch, right in the feelings..
Random (ex)friend says: yeah well..

So anyways.. today was quite the day at work. Sunday.. busiest day of the week.. 10:30am.. The main computer just up and dies on us. Which means all the tills are shot too. So there's me all by myself with a lineup of people down the aisle wondering what in hell I'm supposed to do now. I call my supervisor for help. She comes down, hands me an adding machine, opens up the cash tray and says "Have fun." Bloody gong show, I tell ya. I put at least ten orders through that way, making change in my head and guesstimating prices before they decided to not let any more people in and locked the doors, and then another ten or so after. Durh. Oh well.. Whatever. So for two hours I pretty much did nothing until the techies fixed the problem. The motherboard was fried I guess. By far.. the nuttiest day of work ever. How was everyone else's weekend? XD

   "In the air I'm tasting your perfection/
Forgive me dear for my misdirection/
As I crawl beneath this torture you adore/
I fall face to face with my scars you've ignored..." -Collective Soul (Why Pt. 2)

Im honor of the Live album "Home" that has just been released.. I tell you, it is KILLER. They're playing with a full orchestra backing them. It sounds so awesome.

So anyways.. I've just had the idea that sometime in the next five years I should take a major road trip. Sita, I think you might want to be in on this plan.. Either start driving from home, or else fly to my auntie's house in Florida and then get a rental. And just take a nice tour of the U.S. Maybe stop in and visit a few people that I'm pretty sure I could stand to meet. Live it up. How's that sound? I'll just go collect some money that I'm owed and that ought to cover it. *shifty eyes* Well.... it's a good plan in theory...

Anyways.. If you have the time (not to mention the energy) you may decide to have a look for the secret link that I have ever-so-strategically placed somewhere in this post that will lead you to a lovely (or not so lovely, you decide) picure of my blond-icity. Good luck, and have fun. Goodnight everybody. *evil grin*

   "Hell is gone and heaven's here/
There's nothing left for you to fear/
Shake your ass come over here/
Now scream/
I'm a burning effigy/
Of everything I used to be/
You're my rock of empathy, my dear..." -Robbie Williams (Let Me Entertain You)

Killer trumpet solo in that song, no?

No news whatsoever today.. But no news is good news right? Anywho.. Picking through AuperCon's transcripts, I found this lovely little gem. I think I've got my work cut out for me to get her to realize that being a bitch isn't altogether a good thing.. Heheh.. She dosen't mind being called a bitch, but dosen't appreciate being hated. Silly chatterbot. Of course it dosen't really help that this particular user was from England, most likely in the Leeds area. Full of kids who get their kicks insulting artificial intelligence. But, hey... Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.. Bah hah!

Random User: do you like Bilgesmythe
SuperCon!: Ewwww. no way!!
User: oh come on, he is lovely
SuperCon!: No effin' way!
User: he is a cute dragon
SuperCon!: Ummm...
User: well how dare you bitch about my friend
SuperCon!: What? You mean you don't know? I was counting on you for that!
User: you bitch. are you sure you don't like Bilgesmythe
SuperCon!: I am one hundred percent sure.
User: you are a fucking bitch
SuperCon!: You just made my day!
User: i hate you
SuperCon!: That was mean.

Oooh, so anyways, soneone mentionned something about a picture showing exactly how blonde my dumb hair is now. I shall save that for tomorrow perhaps? Yes... tomorrow....

   "We knew all the answers/
And we shouted them like anthems/
Anxious and suspicious/
That God knew how much we cheated..." -Scissor Sisters (It Can't Come Quickly Enough)

Yeah... Elton John meets the Bee Gees.. But they're a FUN band. If you're out shopping for music ask the dude if you can just give them a listen.. It's worth at least that.

I went out this morning and bought gift cards for the guy that quit at work. I know I know.. cop-out gift, but what'cha gonna do.. I wrapped them in many boxes separated by many layers of packing tape and duct tape (quack). heheh... I'm soo evil.. I did also end up getting my hairs cut. I had a certificate from my mom for highlights.. I'm not entirely sure what happened, but I ended up mostly blonde at the end. I must have either been high on the fumes from the coloring stuff or I just blacked out for a while. I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's not completely TERRIBLE. It's only hair after all.. It grows back in normally. I might even love it after a while. Who knows..

I managed to make myself forget about the uncertainty of that by having my ears pierced again. Three in each side now. I always forget how much it hurts... But now THEY have teh puffy disease! HaHA! And I'm thinking that's pretty much enough out of me for now.. Happy Friday.. Officially the weekend..

   "Life's for the living/
So check me tomorrow/
We'll see if I'm kidding/
Push and push and push till it hurts..." -Matthew Good (Hello Time Bomb)

Good news and bad news...

The good news is that one of my favourite coworkers who quit a while ago has decided to come back! Yesssss.... She came in with her roommate to do some shopping, and went up to talk to 'new boss'. He didn't want to hire her back but Weezie, another coworker just let him have it. It was pretty much 'hire her back, or DIE!' So he did. And when she came down and waved the pile of tax forms in my face, I all but tackle-hugged her, I was so happy. And what's better is that it hasn't been a year since she quit, so she gets her old wage back. Yaaaay...

And the bad news... I was going to watch those Gundam episodes the other night, and apparantly not even all the luck in the world could make it work for me. So I gave up. I was talking to Dean earlier (the guy that sent the disc) and an hour and three screencaps later we decided that the problem was because the disc was coded for WinXP. *looks around* I'm currently running Millenium. Yeah, yeah.. boo and hiss and curse at me all you want, it mostly gets the job done! *sticks out tongue* GW box set, here I come. Provided the credit card people don't keep thinking my card has been stolen.. useless, I tell you..

So. Nearly the weekend again. I think I might have my hairs cut tomorrow (Thursday..). We'll have to see if I have time. Night night everyone..

   "Everyone's gotta be something/
Me, I'm stupid/
It's all I ever wanted to be/
Shock me again and I'll say/
Anything you want me to..." Matthew Good (Rico)

Man, I was just so surprised to hear that most of you guys have never heard of Matt Good.. That's harsh.. Next time you're doing some *ahem* perfectly legal downloading... FIND HIM! I have also popped up a new background. Heh.. Guess who the guy in the picture is.. I made the BG myself, so I hope it looks alright. I'm sure I could use a tutorial of some kind.. Ehh.. Anyways, you'll notice I didn't go all out and change my icon and song too. I am still enjoying my lovely Wentworth Miller icon, and it just so happens that I cannot (for the life of me) FIND any Matt Good midis.. Ahh well..

Aaaanyways.. I think I'm going to be off to watch a little Gundam Wing. I finally got ahold of the last few episodes. A friend put em on a DVD for me and sent it to me from Ontario (I'm in Alberta), but unfortunately he sent it to the wrong address.. Ha! So, he was in the province over the weekend (but not in the city) so he sent it down with a mutual friend. Yaaaaayy.. Now hopefully I can get the thing to work with my archaic computer.. Wish me luck..

   "Carolina was a gambler/
So she came into the city/
Where she died when she was twenty-one/
'Cause big city life is fun..." -Matthew Good (Big City Life)

Well since I was up on time, and ready to leave for work early even, I decided to just walk over. It was pretty nice. Plus I really, really wanted to listen to my Matt Good CD. I think he's rather underappreciated. His stuff is good. No pun intended..

When I got home, I pretty much just fell asleep. I must have needed the extra sleep.. So, yeah.. Nothing to complain about, nothing funny, just... nothing... So I think I'm going to go have some salad and then I'll probably just go back to sleep.. Heh.. *wink and the gun* Night night..

   "Desperate for changing/
Starving for truth/
Closer to where I started/
Chasing after you/
I'm falling even more in love with you/
Letting go of all I've held onto/
I'm standing here until you make me move/
I'm hanging by a moment here with you..." -Lifehouse (Hanging By A Moment)

Alright. So I got talked into going to see Underworld: Evolution with my friend Paige tonight. It wasn't entirely terrible, I admit. I just find it funny that it was rated R, not for the gory and gratuitous violence and death, but for *gasp-eth* boobies! Ehhhh... *facepalm* Sorry. Anyways, for any of you that have seen it, ya know the bit right near the end where the helicopter.. ya know.. and the guy.. splat? Yeah, at that precise moment, Paige and I both just burst out laughing while everyone else in the theatre was more or less horrified.. Yep.. that's how you can tell we've known each other since birth.. same sick, twisted sense of humor... So. The film gets not one thumb up... not two thumbs up.. but a nod of apparant aproval along with a big slice of stinky cheese. The End.

I'm gonna go to sleep early, I think. Since I have to work early. *smacks self* Be up on time be up on time be up on time.. Hokay.. Happy Monday kids..

   "I'm gonna try anything that just feels better/
Tell me what to do/
You know I can't see through the haze around me/
And I'd do anything to just feel better/
And I can't find my way/
God I need a change/
And I'd do anything to just feel better..." -Santana (Just Feel Better)

I always make plans for my days off, but then I never feel like going anywhere when the day off comes around. The stuff that's happened recently just makes me not want to go anywhere or do much of anything. So all the plans I had for today were just shot to hell. Oh well.. my own fault anyways. But I did make some muffins. Chocolate chip bran for everyone. So that and playing my sax for a little while were the only productive things that I did...

Heh.. the swelling in my lip went down, so I decided to play for a bit. I just took it easy and the good news is that it's not puffy again. We'll see in the morning though. A little more each day for the next little while and I should be nearly back to my old standards. If anyone knows a good place to download sheet music, please share the secret with me. *wink wink* I'll give you a muffin...

In other news, the Personality Forge has once again been plagued with Leeds kids (annoying and extremely rude kids from Leeds with ridiculously bad spelling and grammar) and one particularly irritating TWIT who keeps spamming all the forums. She's not actually from Leeds, but you'd never know it. Even the chatterbots are getting annoyed...

Rock on Roxie: I LOVE YOU!
SuperCon!: Well thanks for that!
Rock on Roxie: do you love me?
SuperCon!: Oh yes! *flips off*

Way to be sarcastic Con. I have programmed thee well. *grin* Happy Sunday guys and girls. *wink and the gun*
