   "I'm just mad about Saffron/
Saffron's mad about me/
I'm just mad about Saffron/
She's just mad about me/
They call me mellow yellow/
Quite rightly..." -Donovan (Mellow Yellow)

I feel so good right now. I managed to finish my final paper. It may be a little bit short, but, meh. I didn't have anything left to say! So I took it to the U and handed it in. My prof wasn't quite finished marking our long papers so I didn't get that one back, but he told me that he had already read it and that it was "very interesting" and went on to say some more positive things about it. I think I might actually get that Miracle B I was hoping for! Yessssss...

So after that, I went to the car wash to wash the bird shit off my truck. It doesn't look quite so crappy anymore. (Bah hah! That was soooo punny...) and then I came home and I made a batch of chocolate truffles. They look very pretty and they taste pretty good too.. All you do to make 'em is melt 8 squares of semi sweet bakers chocolate in the microwave, mix in 1/2 a cup of peanut butter (I used that new PB WITH chocolate), let it cool. Mix in a big container of thawed Cool Whip. Done. Stick it in the fridge for an hour. Roll into little balls and toss in coconut, or chopped nuts or icing sugar and stick em in the fridge again. So wonderful. And easy.

And I wasted a bunch of time on my dumb myspace.com profile. I don't know what I'm supposed to do with that thing. Haha! Like I need another journalling site. Ahhh well.. Go ahead and add me if ya like.. Five more sleeps!

"I tried but I can't get through /
I'm trying to get to you /
But you’re difficult to reach/
Won't you talk to me/
So you don't know where you're going and you wanna talk/
You feel like you're going where you've been before/
Let's talk/
Let's talk..." -Coldplay (Talk)

***You would not imagine the time I had trying to find accurate lyrics for this song. EVERY site has got it wrong except the fantastic people at www.absolutelyrics.com. Cheers to them.***

I've spent pretty much the whole weekend trying to write this stinkin' final essay. I'm almost done, but it's difficult. I don't have any more intelligent things to say. I need about 300 words on the Ascension of Isaiah, if anyone has got anything. Anyone?... No?... Hmm.. I'll suffer through it, I guess. Find some fancy words. Like 'ergo' and concordedly'.. Heheh..

But on Saturday I did manage to get most of that stuff done. Booked the X-Mas party, mostly finished the shopping, and took my History of R and R test. That went okay. I think. I didn't leave any of the long answers blank this time, but I think a few of the multiple choice and matching ones kicked my ass this time around. *sigh* have to wait and see..

I'll be handing in this final paper later on Monday afternoon, and i get to pick up my 3000 word paper. Yeah the one about Lord of the Rings. I'm worried about that one. It's totally going to suck if I get a grade lower than a B. Ehhhhhh.. all that work.. Well... only 6 more sleeps kids. Be good now...

   "The road has got me hypnotized/
And I'm speedin' into a new sunrise/
When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough/
She sents her comfort comin' in from above/
We don't need no letter at all/
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love/
We've got a light in the sky..." -Golden Earring (Radar Love)

Hokay, so it was an alright kind of day. I was chatting away to Winn this morning, when the Turkish kid IM's me. Remember him? Yeah, so we made pleasant conversation for a little while until he started bugging me to see a picture of me. I told him 'no', he persisted, so in the end I let him have it, and by 'it' I mean this...

Yeah. So he says to me, dead serious, "which one are you?" HahahaHAHAHAHAHA!!! I spent the next five minutes gasping for air. That'll learn him. Annoy me and I will find an entertaining way of getting even. *nods*

So. Here's a test. On Saturday I am going to...
A) Take a History of Rock and Roll test. (and probably fail it)
B) Start AND finish my X-mas shopping. *shudder*
C) Start my final paper for Apocalypse class.
D) Book nearly an entire X-mas party.
E) All of the above.

And the answer is.... E! It's E, I tell you! Oh I can't wait... (note sarcasm) Off I go to cram some more information into my already overflowing brain... Happy Weekend!

"I knew the first time I met you/
I would always with you/
You and I, I and You/
The sun shines everyday/
When you're around, anyway/
I can't lose my sunshine/
Always cloudy, always gray..." -Johnny Favourite (You and I, I and You)

There is good news. For once. I had not one, but two people decide to help me out with the Social Fund, so I don't have to blow the account. Although it would have been kinda fun, it's better this way. Now. If ican just get 'new boss' to close the store early for the party... so far it isn't looking good, because he's talking to entirely the wrong people about it. *sigh* Why should I plan a party that no one can come to?! Garbage...

I was supposed to have started on my Final Exam for Apocalypse class on wednesday, but yet again, I put it off. So, I must be prepared for a mushy brain this weekend. And it'll get mushy from thinking about stuff, not me killing it with beer.

Speaking of beer, I almost signed a petition today for "Beer, Not Kids". Yeah, it's a Canadian Politics thing. Go HERE to see Canadian politics at it's finest. Well, not really, but it's where the petition is at anyways, and the reason for it. Plus, Rick Mercer is entertaining. So. That said and done.. I'm going to bed. Because it is now 2:00am. Have a good one kiddies!

   "Maybe I'll go to Florida, get myself some sun/
There ain't no more opportunity here and everything's been done/
Sometimes I think of Tweeter, sometimes I think of Jan/
Sometimes I don't think about nothin' but the Monkey Man..." -The Headstones (Tweeter and the Monkey Man)

Well.. this is attempt number two at a post tonight. Otaku kicked my ass the first time. Deleted it. grr..

Anyways.. as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted.. Florida sounds awfully nice this time of year. How is it Winn? Nice and toasty I'm sure.. *glare* But then.. I do have family there who said I could visit.. Mmmmmm... sunshine...

So, as for work today, you can pretty much just reread the bit from yesterday. Except I only ruined ONE loaf of bread! Take THAT you stupid piece of garbage slicer! Ha! Oh, and annoying girl stopped by the store. She said she was going to call me this weekend. *facepalm* Okay, you punk out on all your shifts causing the rest of us grief covering for your sorry ass, and you think we still want to be your friends... Riiiight.. Wait a sec, I never was to begin with! *sigh*

It's almost the weekend. Have a good one kids!

"Don't give us none of your aggravation/
We had it with your discipline/
Saturday night's alright for fighting/
Get a little action in/
Get about as oiled as a diesel train/
Gonna set this town alight/
`Coz Saturday night's the night I like/
Saturday night's alright..." -Nickelback (Saturday Night's Alright)

***In honor of Nickelback tickets being on sale now. They're coming to town again in January. Wohoo!***

Well, as luck would have it, I did in fact end up having to redo the lights on out X-mas tree.. Last night I was hiding out, talking to Zappa and Winn, avoiding the work. But apparantly no work was going on. My family just making other noise and stuff.. *sigh* But it looks so pretty now that it's all done. I'll have to take a picture..

After I finished with that, I had to go to work.. Bleh.. It was ridiculously busy for a Tuesday night. I couldn't believe it. If there hadn't been a new chick on for a practice shift, we would have been buggered. I spent the last three hours of my shift taking care of the bakery stuff that otherwise would not have gotten finished. Including ruining half a dozen loaves of bread, because they had the blades on the slicer sharpened. The thing hates me to begin with, so NOW instead of firing blades out at me, it just shoots bread. *facepalm* have to go one at a time... Loooong night... and I get to do it all again tomorrow... and the next day... *very sarcastic* Yippee... Have a good one all..

"You’re alone and you stand there/
On the phone, cryin' my name/
You’re alone; desolation/
Broken heart/
Won’t you let it calm down/
Take me, take me, get me out of here/
Come down, please come help me out..." -Mobile (Montreal Calling)

***Killer Canadian band.. Find them. Go now.***

Glad to hear you enjoyed the snowglobe of terror (or as Zappa would call it, the "snowglobe of CHAOS!") Yeah..

It's been an alright kind of day. I guess.. got a couple of things done (but still no shopping, ugh). Not as many as I should have, but enough. I was going to start on some baking, but I got sidetracked, by many a thing. So maybe tomorrow..

I'm just not very interested in Christmas this year. I don't really know if it's because of all the garbage that's gone on lately, or the crap that continues to go on, or else the Winter blues have got me already. In any case, I don't feel very... normal. If that makes sense. Not myself, and I haven't been for quite some time. It's a real pain in the ass because I want to laugh and joke around and not have undertones of... bitchiness? I can't think of a good word...

Happy Tuesday.

"When I woke up tonight/
I said I'm gonna make somebody love me/
I’m Gonna make somebody love me/
And now I know, now I know, now I know/
I know that it's you/
You’re Lucky, lucky, you're so lucky..." -Franz Ferdinand (Do You Want To)

Well.. it's good to have at least part of that junk from yesterday sorted out. So I went to work feeling... okay. Instead of dreading it, as has become the norm. And then I got there... Dun dun dunnnn....

So, annoying girl quit (yay) but she gave her two weeks notice and then decided that she couldn't work any of her scheduled shifts... *facepalm* Way to screw the rest of us over... So I had to spend the night with slightly less annoying girl, and the hangover queen. *sigh* Why me?

Anyways, everything was a little tiny bit better when I got home. I signed onto MSN and had a chat with three of my favourite boys. I was very happy to talk to Winn for even five minutes. Five is better than zero. And Kevin, who in general is just a crack up, and my Dean, who I miss a lot now that he's all the way out East. So the day wasn't a total waste.

So. I promised you the Snowglobe of Terror. And here it is. Click here for sadistic fun. Mwahahahahaha! You may have seen it before, but I think it's classic. Enjoy!

   "I'm tearing away/
Pieces are falling I can't seem to make them stay/
You run away/
Faster and faster you can't seem to get away/
BREAK..." -Drowning Pool (Tear Away)

Not such a great day.. I went to work early this morning to discover that one of the new chicks quit and didn't give any notice. The weekends are usually a bit of a gong-show, and being short someone didn't make me very happy. In addition to that, one of the other new chicks came in later on for her shift and was absolutely hung over, and kept running off to go throw up. Niiiice... It's mean, but I hope she gets fired. There's something about her that I just don't like... I don't know where 'new boss' finds these people...

And to top it off.. as I was checking sites Saturday afternoon, I discovered that someone has returned from a long absence. This 'someone' was better off staying FAR away in my opinion. I don't need to name names. The people who need to know who it is, know. So, he stirred up some shit, and messed with my friend, so I'm going to hold him while she punches. And then maybe we'll trade for a bit. Or maybe we'll just stick him in the snowglobe of terror... *evil grin* Yeeeaaahhhh... I'll be sharing the Snowglobe of Terror with you all later on, so no worries. *Yoda voice* Understand soon, you will. Patient you must be....

   "Last night as I was thinking 'bout the future/
Living out my time the days and years ahead/
I was moving with the Mighty Rearranger/
I was thinking about the wisdom that he said..." -Robert Plant (Mighty Rearranger)

The Mighty Rearranger is actually a pretty trippy album. (did I just say 'trippy'?) Good and bluesy. Goes well with a beer.

Soooo.... The moment I get 3000 words out of my hands... I get another 1500 put right back in. Yeah.. I have to write a final paper.. It can be one 1500 word one, OR two 750 word ones, OR one 750 one and two 300 word ones.. Ehhhh... *falls over* I just want to zone out for a while.. It's not looking pretty right now..

On the bright side, it has warmed up a little, and the truck starts up on the first try. Yaaaaay.. On the downside, it's warm enough for the birds to come out of hiding. Recall that I park under a tree. It just so happens to be a tree that the birds quite enjoy sitting in. AND CRAPPING ON MY TRUCK!! *narrows eyes* And I never actually catch them in that tree. I can only assume that they were there, and I can only assume HOW MANY there were by how well I can see out of the windshield. Eewwwww.... I'd go to the car wash.. but what would be the point?

I'm still trying to get to people's Friday posts.. the site has been crapping out on me so frequently, so I get fed up and walk away. Time to reset the servers maybe? I dunno.. Happy weekend!!
