   "Welcome to the Hotel California/
Such a lovely place/
Such a lovely face/
They're livin’ it up at the Hotel California/
What a nice surprise/
Bring your alibis..." -The Eagles (Hotel California)

Sooo... on my way home from work, I saw two full grown men wearing motorcycle helmets, but they were not riding motorcycles. You know those Pwer Wheels dealies? The ones that are for five year olds? Yeah, it was those. I was like "what, are you guys trying to pick up chicks or something? Cause it ain't working! Hahahaha!" I'm a fan of strange things like that. But I guess you get a lot of it living in a University town. I had to autograph an orange the other day for some girls on a scavenger hunt. *shrugs*

Anywho, I've decided that I'm going to throw a dinner party. A nice one. With a tablecloth and wine glasses and bread plates. Oooh! And I'll get to use my flatware! Yeah, I went to Crappy Tire to get a gift card for someone else, and ended up buying flatware for myself. Hahaha! I couldn't resist. So, who's coming for dinner?? I'm gonna do homemade croutons for the salad! Oh, come on, it'd be woth the cost of the plane ticket to get here! Ahh well.. I tried....

   "Number nine/
Number nine/
Number nine/
Number nine/
Number nine/
Number nine..." -The Beatles (Revolution #9)

***If that isn't the worst Beatles song EVER! We actually had to listen to it in class the other night, and I'm pretty sure a bit of a twitch set in...***

Had a Union meeting Tuesday morning. I've decided that I give up. And by give up, I don't mean quit. I just mean I give up on trying to do things in the nice, diplomatic sort of way. In nearly six months nothing that is wrong has been fixed, nor do I see any attempts to fix them. So that leaves me with not too many options. I will be needing two pens and a stack of greivance forms please. I'm going nuts. I don't think there is any other way.

I was really shocked at how when we brought up the outrageously high turnover rate that we now have going (a dozen people have quit in the past 2 months), he noted "well.. those guys were all pretty good friends right?" What does that have to do with anything?! Do you think they're just sheep and follow each other around all the time?! Baaaaaaa.... baaaaaaaa..... *narrows eyes* I can't talk to that man. If he goes off on a tangent you will never get back on track, and you find yourself wondering, 'uhhh... what was the question again?'

Aaaanyways.. oh yeah, great news (note sarcasm). We all remember annoying girl? Weeeelll... my social club vice president was one of the dozen who quit on me, and AG (annoying girl) was the only one to volunteer for the position. (I need a second person to sign the cheques) *facepalm* Yeah. In addition to AG, we now have irritating girl (who shall henceforth be known as IG). I very nearly choked on my gum when I found out they hired her. If you'll all excuse me, I must improve my aversionary tactics... Have a good one!

   "He's a god, he's a man/
He's a ghost, he's a guru/
They're whispering his name/
Through this disappearing land/
But hidden in his coat/
Is a red right hand..." -Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (Red Right Hand)

That was one helluva weekend. But FUN! On Friday I skipped class (heheh..) I decided it was too windy to even go outside. I'm not a fan of 100km/hr winds. So I'll be behind in my reading, but I figure I don't care since I don't have to take another web test. Just write a paper, which I can handle. Anyways, got a phone call from miss Sita, who was on her way into town the next day. We made plans to do breakfast on Sunday, since evil work wouldn't allow much of anything else...

Saturday I went to work (boooo) and in the evening went to a friends house for "Beer and Blues". Heheh, it was actually Paige and her parents, and me and my dad and out other friend's parents... It's strange but hanging out with parents isn't all bad. EsPECially when there's beer involved. XD

Anywho, got up Sunday morning and made a trip to the store to buy cookies. I knew it was new cookie day and I thought that it would be nice to send Sita off with some tasty treats. I got cornered by the boss who asked me if I wanted the "office job". Hahahahahahaha! I flat out told him 'no' and that I didn't need any more stress in my life. He got himself into this mess, and wouldn't listen to me when I tried to fix it, so now he can get himself out. *sticks out tongue*

So yeah, ran like hell out of there and across town to meet Sita and friend for brekkie. Which was very cool indeed. (she bought me CHEESECAKE! She's officially my favourite) Sat... ate food... chatted for nearly two hours.. then I had to send them home to avoid the S*** (you know, the white stuff that comes out of the clouds? DON'T SAY IT!) And then work late on, which rotted. But that's a whole 'nother story, since this post is already ridiculously (dare I say, ridonkulously?) long. So I sign off.. Hope you guys had a great weekend! Here's a tasty little nugget for making it to the end of this post!

   "She likes me for me/
Not because I hang with Leonardo/
Or that guy who played in "Fargo"/
I think his name is Steve/
She's the one for me/
And I just can't live without her/
My arms belong around her/
And I'm so glad I found her once again..." -Blessed Union of Souls (Hey Leonardo)

I skipped my afternoon class on both Monday and Wednesday and I'm skipping it again today. It'll probably kill me in the end, but I don't think I can deal with it. Plus it's cold and windy out. I'd rather stay all nice and toasty warm with my fuzzy slipers. *sigh* I can do the reading on my own I guess.

Sita is headed down this way with a friend for the weekend, so I think they're going to come and harrass me at work. It will be a welcome distraction. It's a little nerve racking, meeting someone face to face for the first time, but I'm not so nervous. I think we have a lot in common. It'll be cool.

"But now the telephone's on fire/
And I can't seem to dial/
Even though I know/
You're there to save my soul tonight/
The poison's in my head/
And I can't feel my legs/
I'm not feeling anything..." -David Usher (Hallucinations)

Well... same shit, different pile. You can pretty much just insert last post into this post. I'm still not great and rather annoyed with things and people in general. If I weren't busy, I'd probably be thinking more and we all know that can't be good. I can't count on both hands how many times I've nearly lost it this last week. And if somebody tries to hug me, that makes it worse, and I feel dumb.

But on the bright side, chocolate helped a little bit. Even though it was crappy, waxy halloween chocolate. Come to think of it, that's pretty disappointing. And thanks to you guys for the lame jokes and everything. Ace, you managed to get me to crack a smile, and Kevin, you got... well.. an "oh my god that was disgusting, yet funny at the same time and I'm embarassed to admit it" kind of laugh. So, here's to ya...

"Where are you and I'm so sorry/
I cannot sleep, I cannot dream tonight/
I need somebody and always/
This sick strange darkness/
Comes creeping on so haunting every time..." -Blink 182 (I Miss You)

A rather appropriate song tonight. I miss people that aren't even gone. And a few that I just haven't seen or talked to in a while. It's one of those weeks where I could probably cry at the drop of a hat, and I'm not entirely sure why. I really hate feeling this way, so if anyone has a laugh to share, that'd be really great. Thanks. Have a good one, guys and girls.

   "Take me down to the paradise city/
Where the grass is green/
And the girls are pretty/
Oh, won't you please take me home..." Guns N' Roses" (Paradise City)

Interesting day. Earlier on Friday before I left for class, I was on my MSN, when this guy from Turkey IMs me. I don't know anyone in Turkey. I have never been there. When I asked him where he got my SN from, he said he didn't remember. I think that's a pile of crap. He's not a bad guy, by any means, so I guess he can stick around for a little while. I can always block and delete later.

I think I might be getting sick or something. I'm just all tired all the time. I can barely stay awake through class and I feel bad about it. I just hope my prof doesn't notice...

As I type, my mother and sister are singing along rather loudly, not to mention badly, to Kelly Clarkson. I could be much more annoyed by this than I actually am. And it's probably because Kelly Clarkson is one of the only female singers I actually like. Don't know why. That's just the way it goes. Have a great weekend everyone! Get your pumpakins ready!

   "So meet me at the mission at midnight/
We’ll divvy up there/
Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people/
I got the pistol/
So I'll the pesos/
Yeah, that seems fair..." -The Refreshments (Banditos)

I always sing that song, but I never knew who sang it until today. Go figure...

Would you believe someone once tried to pay me for stuff with pesos? In Canada?! *eye roll* Morons. Why must I be surrounded by frickin' idiots? Not to mention annoying children! Oh, okay, there was this lady today, who saw on the front of the store flyer, the headline "100 Free Pumpkins To Be Given Away at This Store!" and then in smaller print RIGHT UNDERNEATH "You are entered to win when you use your club card." So she says to me as if she's already won, "Who do I talk to about picking up my free pumpkin?" *facepalm* So I had to explain it to her. And then she says "So I can't just go and take one?" *headdesk* I'm like "No. That's stealing." So she left. Good.

The good news is that I haven't seen annoying-ballon-kid in a really long time. Remember the one that wants to hold the balloon, not the string, but screams cause he can't reach the balloon 'cause it's bloody tied to his hand? *fetal position* If I ever make mention of wanting children, or wanting to work with children, someone please shoot me? Thankyou, and good night.

   "Here's a little song I wrote/
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy/
In every life we have some trouble/
When you worry you make it double/
Don't worry, be happy..." -Bob Marley (Don't Worry, Be Happy)

I feel so much better. That stupid essay is done, finally. After staying up until 3am Tuesday night, and then getting up at 8 Wenesday morning to finish... It was a hard one.

I had to take a time out from working on it to go to a going away party for one of my coworkers. I guess I HAD to go, since I was the one organizing the whole shebang. We bought her a blue topaz pendant (which I had a helluva time picking out! *pant*). It's so pretty, it's set so that two little gold arms fold over the front of it like it's giving the stone a hug. Awwwwwwwww... So that took up the bulk of my day. Shopping and all..

And Wednesday after class, I picked up a bunch of halloweeny stuff to use as prizes for a pumpkin carving contest! Wohoo! The staff and I carved up ten pumpkins and we're going to let the customers vote on them. So there's a prize for the customer whose ballot I draw, as well as the staffer who gets the most votes. Heheh, won't be me. I'll see about posting a few pictures of em...

I'm gone.

   "Before you're pointing at me/
There is a possibility/
You better turn that thing around/
Nothing's come easily/
So don't you tread on me/
'Cause I will knock you down..." -311 (Don't Tread On Me)

Well, go figure.. after midnight, pages do load a little bit faster. Not like I want to be up after midnight every night though.. *sigh* Can't win. Have to suffer.

I've been working on my essay and I think my brain is getting sore. It's difficult, but not as difficult as a Philosophy paper and for that, I am glad. I haven't run out of things to say yet, which is good. But the organization is terrible, which is bad. So I might be up pretty late Tuesday night. And up early Wednesday morning. With a pot of coffee. *twitch* I won't ask for any profreaders. I don't want to bore you with all the bible-y stuff. There's no LEGO involved. Sorry.

Anywho, Prison Break was GREAT! How I have missed it these last couple of weeks... I might just have to buy it on DVD. Looking back on it, that was a really, really boring post. Heh, sorry 'bout that. Happy Tuesday to all...
