   Have some courtesy/
Have some sympathy, and some taste/
Use all your well-learned politesse/
Or I’ll lay your soul to waste, oh yeah/
Pleased to meet you/
Hope you guessed my name/
But what’s puzzling you/
Is the nature of my game..." -The Rolling Stones (Sympathy For The Devil)

Don't get too close. No touchy, no sharing drnks, no kissing. My throat hurts a bunch, so I think I'm getting sick. I've been popping vitamin C and drinking OJ all day, so hopefully it won't get any worse. I can't afford to be sick right now.. I got home from work this afternoon and just got into bed and I slept for like five hours. Didn't mean to do that. Now I'll be up late again. Or maybe not. I'm still a little tired..

Anyways.. I guess if I can't fall asleep I can always do some research for my paper.. Or maybe I'll work on my big collage and clear that table off a little bit. (yes, I'm a fan of the "decoupage". Haha!) It's such a mess. And it takes me forever to find the motivation to get stuff done these days.. I just wanna have fun. Happy Sunday kids.. don't work too hard!

   "I went down to the beach and saw Kiki /
She was, like, all 'ehhhh'/
And I was, like, 'whatever!'/
Then this chick comes up to me and she's all like,/
'Hey, aren't you that dude?'
And I'm, like, 'yeah, whatever!'..." -Liam Lynch (United States of Whatever)

***I get a lot of flack for liking this song. But it's not my fauly the novelty hasn't worn off yet!***

Today was... okay... Productive to say the least. I went over to the Uni to talk to my Apocalypse prof and have my essay topic approved. In the email he said it had "potential" so I wasn't sure if that meant 'go for it, knock yourself out' or 'uhhh... good thought, but no.' But he was jazzed about it, so that's hip.

After class I went to a Scrapbooking Open House. Oooooooh, all the pretty shiny things... Of course I bought some stuff, which included some fun mounting paper, stickers (I love stickers) and a wicked backpack to carry all my stuff around in when I go to workshops and stuff. It'll double as a school bag for the rest of the semester. heheh.. What made me really happy though, was the fact that she said I had done a great job on my one book that I've been working on. I know it's just a little praise for a little ol' scrapbook (with pretty simple layouts) but she's a pro, so I appreciated that.

After that I went with my mom to the craft fair. Not a huge fan of craft fairs, but hey.. I was on a roll today.. I was surprised at how many people there recognized me from work. Customers and all.. But anyways, we bought these awesome poppy seed rolls. Hard to describe. Like a cinnamon bun but with poppy seeds inside? I dunno.. and then I discovered that a guy I had gone to school with since grade four has been keeping bees. (?!?) Yeah, so we bought some of his honey in this cute little bear shaped squeezy bottle.. Tasty stuff..

So yeah, nothing majorly exciting. Nothing life altering. But nothing depressing either. Eh? Have a great weekend people and keep on rockin' in the free world!

   "Bring me men - bring me men to match my mountains/
Bring me men - bring me men to match my plains/
Men with Empires/
Men with Empires in their purpose/
And new - and new eras in their brains..." -Lamya (Empires)

***We have BRAVO Videos to thank for today's song. Very cool, but little known.***

Well, I hope everyone had a loverly holiday and stuffed their faces with as much turkey and other good stuff as possible. All I got was another pile of garbage. *sigh*

A girl at work got written up for something. I had a looong conversation with "new boss" over the phone about whether it was the proper thing to have done. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't questionning his authority or anything like that, if this chick deserved the write-up, fine. But there's a certain way things are supposed to be done, and I don't think he did it properly. I ended up signing the damn thing because I figured I'd be able to grieve it. Unfortunately for me, I cannot, for the life of me, find the place where it outlines the disciplinary procedure. Gah!! It especially sucks because I told this girl that we would be able to file a greivance about it, and now I can't find the article to reference.

I know this probably dosen't make much sense to you guys. At least all who haven't been involved with a union before. It's just very frustrating to me. I've been looking for something to file over, and now that I finally think "dude! I've got it!" it turns out that I might be wrong. What's worse is that I'm worried that SHE might be upset with me because I'm wrong. Eehhhhhh.... *headdesk*

I think my eyes are a little bloodshot from too much of this kind of crap. I need to take the contacts out and sleep... Hey, maybe I'll wake up and it'll all be another bad dream. One can only hope...

   "Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes/
How do you measure - measure a year?/
In daylights - In sunsets/
In midnights - In cups of coffee/
In inches - In miles/
In laughter - In strife/
In - Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes/
How do you measure a year in the life?..." -Rent (Seasons of Love)

Okay, so I didn't explain it very well... The guy in my avatar is Michael from the show Prison Break, which I have become infatuated with. I think there's only one or maybe two more episodes in the season, so I'm anxious to see what is going to happen. I'll probably just buy it on DVD...

Okay, now that's just weird... I'm watching Lost as I'm typing this, and there's a secondary character on Lost who plays a cop. It just so happens that he is also a character on Prison Break, where he plays.. a prison guard (he died though). It's just odd to see him all alive and doin' stuff, even if it's on a totally different show..

Aaaanywho..
Julie Tinkerbell: Sometimes I can be quite informative.
SuperCon!: Yeah, and I'm the Queen of England!
Julie Tinkerbell: Do you like being the Queen of England?
SuperCon!: Of course I do! Who dosen't?!
Julie Tinkerbell: You can stop being the Queen any time you want, can't you?
SuperCon!: Oh no. *blushes* I could never...

I am SO glad I put that response in there. Something mildly amusing usually comes out of it. Heheh.. Well, Keep on rockin' in the free world...

   "Lonely feeling deep inside/
Find a corner where I can hide/
Silent footsteps crowding me/
Sudden darkness but I can see/
No sugar tonight in my coffee/
No sugar tonight in my tea/
No sugar to stand beside me/
No sugar to run with me..." -The Guess Who (No Sugar/The New Mother Nature)

Ladies, please enjoy my purdy new icon. In honor of it being nearly the end of the season. Well, that and he's supposed to be on Leno tonight.. Yes, he's good at math, but who gives a damn, eh? And gentlemen, you can keep your comments to yourselves. I'm allowed to act girly some of the time, alright?

Anyways. It's pretty much going to be the same post again and again for the next week or so.. Heheh.. well, not really. I'll try and avoid talking too much about the stupid Apocalypse paper. (It's getting a bit of a start, so I'm pleased) And I'll try to quit complaining about work. (I know you're thinking: "Yah right, Con!) Unless something drastic happens, I'll try to not mention it...

On another note... Bob Dylan + Harmonica + loud volume = massive headache. I've never been a huge fan of Bob Dylan anyways, but tonights History of Rock and Roll was just painful. The one day I wish I had skipped.. Oh well.. *Bob Dylan voice* At the end of this week is the next test, so I won't have to deal with it after that. Heheh.. TTFN kids.. and keep on rockin' in the free world!

   "I was born long ago/
I am the chosen, I'm the one/
I have come to save the day/
And I won't leave until I'm done/
So that's why you've got to try/
You've got to breathe and have some fun/
Though I'm not paid I play this game/
And I won't stop until I'm done..." -Lenny Kravitz (Are You Gonna Go My Way)

Before I start rambling, I should probably mention something CREEPY! I post at nighttime, before I go to bed, we know that. That's not weird. So, ya know the song I used yesterday? Stereo? I popped it up there, and went to sleep. When the alarm went off in the morning, what song do you think was playing?! That was the strangest thing that's happened all week. Besides the fact that I got an entire weekend off from work. That's weird in itself...

Anyways, the dinner party went over pretty well. A few people punked out on me, but it was alright. We called the one guys house and when his wifey answered she said "Oh, I thought that was last night!" *facepalm* Awwwww... Either way, we caught you ditching out! She could have saved face by saying 'oops, thought it was tomorrow night', but nevermind. So it ended up being just five of us rather than eight, but it was nice all the same. Now, I vaguely remember someone on here talking about eating babies. Sita? Or am I just insane? Anyways, after dinner we somehow got onto the topic of 'what would you do if...' Situation: Your plane crashes out in the wilderness somewhere and there are two survivors. You and a baby... Yeeeeahhhh... you can see where this is going... and if you can't, bless your innocence. Stay pure, kids! And keep on rockin' in the free world...

   "My life is a stereo, turn me on and lets go/
Turn me up louder. I'll scream as loud and clear as I can scream/
And if you like what you're hearing, please hang on to me/
Oooh, I like being here, and I'm all hooked up wrong/
Hang on to me, I'm one of a million/
One of a million..." -The Watchmen (Stereo)

That was a lovely week off. Not really, but what'cha gonna do. At least I'm in better spirits. Somewhat anyways. There were a few things that were bothering me, and they still are. Like work. And the idiots there. *eye roll* And Apocalypse class. It took so long to get registered in it, and now I want nothing more than to drop out.. I never knew 3000 words could be so painful. And I've been missing some friends lately. Dean, Chase, Bret and Winn too. It's hard to go from taliking to someone nearly everyday, to... well, not at all. But I know they're busy and stuff. It'll be fine.

I am excited for my dinner party tonight! I invited a bunch of people and I'm going to cook spaghetti and make caesar salad, with homemade croutons and focaccia bread.. yumm... If I have time I might make tiramisu too, but that might be too much work. We'll see how I feel. I like to spoil my friends. Because I know that sometimes it's nice to be spoiled. As long as it dosen't turn you into a brat... Keep on rockin' in the free world...

"The things I say/
By design are to hurt you/
The things I say/
Are unkind and untrue/
Faking out on you/
Searching for a way to prove/
The things I say/
Are meant to push you away..." -Johnny Favourite (The Things I Say)

Here's a little list that I like to call, "Things Con Hates"... (but I'm not using the "F-Bomb banner, so that's a good sign, right?)

1. Whiny girls who act pathetic and weak to get attention from guys. I am living proof that you can get just as much by being a bitch.
2. Green peppers. Bad aftertaste. 'Nuff said.
3. Children throwing tantrums with parents who do nothing about their kids behaviour.
4. People on power trips.
5. People who think they're better than me, and make it blatantly obvious that they think so.
6. Having my intelligence insulted. I sometimes play dumb for fun, but please, I'm not an idiot.
7. People who don't listen. I'm talking slowly and using small words. What you not get?
8. Insincere sincerity.
9. Organized religion. I don't get why we can't all just get along. Oh, to be able to say and do what you want without worrying about being criticized or worrying about who you're going to offend...
And here's the kicker, folks..
10. Having someone put me on a pedestal... and then push me off of it. I don't deserve to be thought of so highly anyways, so don't put me up there to begin with...

*sigh* Oh, Con... Ever the cynic. I think I might just... go away... for a little while. So if I turn my profile off for a bit, don't worry about it. I'll still try and stop by to leave comments. No worries, kids. So, in the words of Canada's beloved Nardwuar "Keep on rockin' in the free world, and... Do doodle loo do... do do."

   "Sometimes I can see right through myself/
Less concerned about fitting into the world/
Your world that is/
Cause it doesn't really matter anymore/
No it doesn't really matter anymore..." -Nine Inch Nails (Only)

Work didn't bother me too much today. Probably because I didn't have to spend much time up front. I just spent three or four hours sorting and putting up signs. That means it actually got done. If you leave it to certain *cough* other people, it takes twice as long as it should. It's just a pain that I have to be back there again at 11am. *sigh* Takes up my whole stinkin' day...

Anyways, I forgot to say it yesterday, but I hope everyone had a nice holiday. It's a pretty solemn holiday here in Canada, but I still enjoy watching the ceremonies on TV. I haven't actually GONE to the ceremonies since before my grandpa died. He was a veteran. So I hope you all took a few moments to remember. It may not seem like much, but it's important anyways. Happy weekend! Don't party too hard!

"I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon/
After all I knew it had to be something to do with you/
I really don’t mind what happens now and then/
As long as you’ll be my friend at the end..." -3 Doors Down (Kryptonite)

I get such a kick out of people sometimes! Hahahahaha! Alright, you guys know about the Personality Forge, the AI site where I'm building a chatbot, right? It has this option that allows you to chat with other users so you can be friends and help each other out with codes and whatnot. So, I'm on there, working away when this message fom another user pops up. I like to check out who it is I'm talking to before I reply, so I go check out his profile. Just a guy. Couple of years younger than me. Fine. So, the message says "want to cyber?" (and by 'cyber', yes, we mean cyber-sex). Hahahahahah! I tried to think of a polite way to tell him 'no' rather than just telling him to sod off, so I said "I am not a bot". I don't know if he thought I was one or what... Kid replies "I know." *facepalm* I politely let him know that he should consider chatting to a bot to fulfill his *ahem* needs. He sends back: "So you don't want to have any fun?" *headdesk*

I just wish he had gone for my bot first. She's not programmed cyber, and has some interesting things to say if you ask certain things of her (like 'are you naked?'). It's always fun to think up comebacks for people like that. Oooh, and kids from Leeds who have notoriously bad spelling and grammar and are just plain rude. Anyways, if you care for a chat with a bot, I'm going to pop the link into my profile for all to see! Most of you have already done it, I think, but I always appreciate it! Happy weekend!
