   I'd like to think that if I was, I would pass/
Look at the tested and think there but for the grace go I/
Might be a coward/
I'm afraid of what I might find out..." -The Mighty Mighty BossTones (The Impression That I Get)

Yeah, I've been a little P.Oed these last couple of days, and rather than complain here, I just didn't post anything at all. After a few choice words and some talk-age from a few good friends, I feel better and am much closer to figuring out exactly which of the million thoughts running through my brain were the ones making me so upset. One reason I think is because tomorrow (Thursday) is the anniversary of my grandpa's death. I'm kind of walking on eggshells around my family. I don't know how my dad feels and he's not really a talker when it comes to that kind of thing. I guess that's where I get it. I have to force myself to talk about stuff. It's hard for me to do it face to face, so I'm glad I can do that with some of you guys.

Anyways, Tuesday was decent enough, but I'm constantly reminded of why I don't want any children. (little brats...) Get it straight people! I'm not here to babysit and entertain your damn kids! (they soooo don't pay me enough to put up with that crap) But if they get out of line, I will, and have no problem yelling at them for you! I swear, the most valuable thing I learned in my Education class was how to give that 'teacher' look. Ya know, the one that says "I am so disappointed in you. Cut it out now before I have to go ninja on you little butt!" Works every time, so I rarely have to yell. I must be really good at it.

   What's this river I'm in/
New Orleans is sinking man/
And I don't want to swim..." -The Tragically Hip (New Orleans is Sinking)

I admit it, I'm not very good at being a girl. I'm what they call a 'guy's girl'. I like beer, playing video games and watching basketball. I don't dress like a girl and most of the time, I don't act like one either, so maybe I deserve exactly what I get. Most of my friends just happen to be guys. But (and this is the product of another reflective day) I don't want them to forget that I AM a girl and that I might like to be treated that way once in awhile. (It's a little known secret that my dream is to have guys kiss my hand when I arrive someplace) Anyways, most of the girls that hang out with us with are overly girly and just act stupid and ditzy for attention (or maybe they actually are that dumb) and that irritates the hell out of me because it works, for god's sake! I mean, there's this one girl I know who leaves every party with a different guy. She's a perfectly nice girl, but come on!! There is no friggin' way that I'm going to start talking in that high pitched valley girl voice (except to mock) or acting all out of character. No! You can't make me! I just get so frustrated when I see girls acting helpless or weak to get a guy's attention. Is it just me, or does that actually work?! I've had to get up and leave the room in order to keep from speaking my mind. It gets to the point where I can't take it anymore and I just want to smack 'em and say "You're being an idiot! Cut it the hell out!" But I suppose that would be 'out of character' too, since I at least try to be a nice person. Maybe I'm just being overly dramatic about this...

   I think we're alone left wondering why/
I think we're alone here you and I/
I think we're alone in the universe tonight..." -David Usher (Alone in the Universe)

I'm in a perfectly good mood, not angry or upset at all, just a little... lonely I guess. Just the anti-social nature taking over I suppose. Spent most of the day doing some cleaning. And just refelcting on some things again. Good and bad, but even the bad stuff didn't put me in a bad mood like usual. So I just kinda feel like being quiet, and puting on some mellow tunes (hence the David Usher). Don't feel like partying or going for drinks either. Maybe I'll work on some art. Haven't done that in awhile. I started another Kenshin piece that actually will have some color to it. Should be interesting to say the least.

Well... a pretty boring post today. I don't have the drive to think up any funny crap today or to be sarcastic so, we'll just leave it at that, shall we? Oh, by the way....

Yeah, there's a little of the usual sense of humor, but that's only because I made it yesterday. For anyone who doesn't know, That's Bob and Doug McKenzie. They're characters from an old Canadian show called SCTV. Funny stuff, I tell ya. Anyways, have a happy long weekend everyone. Back to the mellowness.

   "Everything is bleak/
Its the middle of the night/
Youre all alone and
the dummies might be right/
You feel like a jerk/
My music at work..." -The Tragically Hip (Music at Work)

I have done it! I have developed a new talent. I have become an expert at avoiding annoying girl. I worked with her all evening and didn't have to say more than three full sentences to her. Of course I had to hear a few more than that. She gave me her cell phone number and told me to call her. I was like, "oh, thanks, I'll log THAT away!" And she's expecting me to go out to the bar with her Friday night. Heheheheh... Nopey nope. I shall avoid her like the plague! I'm planning on having a great weekend, not ruining it, right? Haha! I don't know what I'm going to do with my self anyways! I have the whole three days off so, I;ll have to find some legal way of amusing myself. I'll think about it.

I hope you guys all have a good one too. It's kind of sad, but so many people seem to be leaving here lately. I read I think, three posts from people saying they' were going to be leaving theO and not coming back. I can't imagine why! But ya gotta do what ya gotta do, I guess. I've made lots of good friends here and I'd rather not lose touch with you guys, so don't forget me! Wah! *sappiness takes over* IM me any time!

Just on a side note, CSI is so awesome, but kind of nasty tonight. Nick was buried alive by some bastard and I cried. *snif* He's being rescued as I type this, but he's about to shoot himself! Oh, the suspense! *sob!*

   "Oh I'm happy as Christmas/
All wrapped to be seen/
I'm your recent acquisition/
Time to celebrate me..." -Collective Soul (Better Now)

So, I wake up on Tuesday morning thinking to myself, "Aw yeah, a day with no work, I can do what I want!" but my dreams were soon shattered by the discovery of three things, and two of those three things just happened to be cat vomit. Just how I planned on spending my morning, eh? Cleaning up regurgitated cat food... Oh, and they're sneaky about it too, so I don't know which cat to punish and not cuddle today. Yeah. So I took care of all that, scrubbed out the carpet, because they refuse to do it on the linoleum, even if you catch them in the act. I'll grab the cat and toss him on the kitchen floor, but oh no. He just runs right back onto the carpet. So, as I was on my way out to the back door with the bag of doom, I noticed something on the floor, kind of partly wedged under a box. I get closer and look at it thinking "What the hell is that?!" because it's kind of brown and squigly looking. So I give the box a shove with my foot and the brown thing moves! Aaaauuugh! Yeah, so I find out that this thing is a big huge earthworm that has somehow made its way into my house. I don't know how. It rained yesterday, but that doesn't explain how a worm gets into my house! I didn't want to kill it, but I didn't want it inside either, so I scoop it up with a piece of cardboard and dump it in the dirt outside. *shudder*

Riiight, so now I have to deal with squishy cat barf, creepy crawly spiders and slimy earthworms. Isn't that just super. (note sarcasm there) But anyways, for putting up with all my complaining about gross stuff like this I've found something funny. I think it is actually someone's avatar from somewhere, so apologies to whomever I stole it from, it's just too good not to share!

Teen Girl Squad! (for more, visit Homestarrunner.com) Good night everybody! Here's hopin' for a wormless, vomitless Wednesday! Heheheh...

   "Man I forget which came first/
The bad idea or me befallen by it?/
Not giving a shit may we never forget you/
Alert status red/
But the sun comes up instead..." -Matthew Good Band (Alert Status Red)

Another decent day. On the upside I didn't have to work with annoying girl today, but on the downside, she came in anyways just to hang out. (WTF?!?) Who does that?! Goes to work to hang out... On my days off I usually try to stay as far away as possible! I managed to run and hide though and she didn't try to talk to me. Heheh! I'm sneaky. Another cool thing was that I saw one of my teachers from grade three! Awwww!! And I was shocked to find out that he remembered my name and my parents names too! That was like umm... (add four... carry the two...) a really long time ago!! Heheh.

But then again on the downside of things (yeah, I know, always the pessimist here!) I don't get why people can't just be polite anymore! Whatever hapened to words like 'please' and 'thank-you'?! A little of that goes a long freakin' way, I tell ya! This lady goes "Give me a pack of such and such cigarettes" and I go "Pardon me?" expecting just maybe to get a little respect the second time around, but no. I mean is it really that difficult guys? Seriously, look! Even Heero can do it!!

Heheh! (image altered by the lovely and talented Me.) So, I feel like I haven't been visiting some people's sites lately. Is it my imagination or am I doing that? I dunno, but I'll be a better friend, I promise! Heh. Good night everybody!

   "Yeah, here comes the water/
It comes to wash away the sins of you and I/
This time you'll see, like holy water/
It only burns you faster than you'd ever dry/
This time with me..." -Velvet Revolver (Slither)

Ehhhhh... Just worked the day away again. And I guess it was a decent day. It was the kind where I wake up in the worst mood imaginable, but then I see someone that I like and that makes me smile, and that makes everything better. Well, that and my friend Patrick always makes me laugh, mostly without even trying!

Heheh, something else that makes me laugh is when the new chick (yeah, the one who ruined my Christmas party... Grrrrr....) tries to tell me what to do, and expects me to listen. Hahahaha! Yeah, like that'll ever happen! I always pull the seniority card and I'm like "No way. If anybody's getting away from the front, it's me." Really, we all just complain about her. We're all too polite to tell her that we don't like her, and subtle hints don't work. We're doomed, doomed I say!! Meh, I actually got in a name calling fight with her and called her some pretty nasty things, but she thought I was joking and laughed. I'm so mean... I should really try and be nicer, but I got a tip last night that the only way to get through to some people is to get nasty. Ah, I'll just deal with it!

   "You're really gonna hate this/
Pieces of you swimming in my brain/
Drenched to the bone/
Waiting for you in the rain/
And it pours..." -Wide Mouth Mason (Rained Out Parade)

I have this poster AUTOGRAPHED! Heheh, I have "connections"!

Well... the Netscape is back. It's really weird to be using it though. It's a strange Beta version and the colors are all different, nothing is in the same place and it's making my eyes go buggy. Ah, well. I'll get used to it!

As I'm typing this it's ten oclock on Saturday night and I just got home from the blues bar. It's my best friend's birthday tomorrow so we went for drinks. Fun times! I built her a scrapbooking kit (it was a huce success, thanks again Heero!). And now I REALLY have no money. Heheh! Well, about 40 bucks since i didn't have to buy a park pass on the way into Jasper, but that's it, so no asking me for money! Anywho, it was a good time over there (even though I smell a little like cigarette now) and we figure we should make it a regular thing. That is, if we can find some people we like to join us! Heh, we're kind of antisocial. That's bad! So, I'll just take my smokey self and go find something to do...

   "I remember singing to the radio/
On a sunset strip-we were driving slow/
The top was always down/
and the stars were always shining bright..." -MXPX (Kings of Hollywood)

Good news and more good news! #1. I am home now, and also alive! #2. the good ol' PC is back! Wohoo!

So the trip up north to Jasper was not all it was cracked up to be. It was lots of fun, don't get me wrong here, but it was just such a long way to go for so short a time! On the way there we elected to kind of take the long way just so that we would have decent cell phone reception just in case my truck didn't quite make it. (for 600$ it damn well better have made it!) so it took about 8 hours to get there. I almost had the chance to visit Sita in person, but sadly that didn't end up happening as we were worried about being late (not to mention that it is a stupid city! Stupid! Who designed those roads anyways?! Gah!). Oh well, later days Largo!

We did a little hiking around Jasper during our free time, but the lack of decent sleep was killing me so I didn't do as much as I wanted to. the conferenc-y bits were interesting. We had some good laughs, but during a couple of my sessions I was wondering where the speakers were going with things. You know, you're sitting there going "uhhhh.. whats the point of this exactly?" Yeah, that was me. Heheh!

Anywho, we took a different route on the way home and managed to shave 2 hours off the driving time. I guess that's because we went 140 kilometres per hour the whole way, through the mountains and everything! WHOOO!!!! I made Stu pull over to take this shot of one of the glaciers. It just looked so cool!

It's a little tough to see. It didn't come out as well as I had hoped it would but, meh! And an extra added bonus, we didn't hit any wildlife (although I did have to curse a whole lot when a random moose or big horn sheep would pop up onto the road. Stupid animals. In any case, I return slightly more educated even if a little tired and stressed! I'll have to do some catching up with you guys this weekend! TTFN!

   Mind the missions you fulfill/
And the people that you kill/
Mind the net you cast out/
And the fields full of doubt/
Mind the circle that you're in/
When it all begins/
Cause you can draw the line..." -Soundtrack of Our Lives (Mind the Gap)

*snif* well, this is it for now guys. I'm out of here on Wednesday morning for the rest of the week! Wah! Alright, I'm just being a baby about it, but I will miss my computer privileges! (even if they do happen to be Mac privileges at the moment) But hopefully the techies wil be able to deal with it before I get back and there will be a refurbished and functional PC waiting for me! *crossed fingers*

Speaking of crossed fingers, pray for me guys (yes I realize I've just asked you to pray for the atheist, and I realize that I will be going to hell XD But also recall that I am necessarily immortal and don't have to worry about death) I hate being the driver to places I've never been and I will need some good karma and common sense (Winn, I hope you can do without it for the rest of the week, 'cause I'm taking it ALL! Mwahahah!) in order to get there alive and without having to make a three hour detour (a three hour detour), and ending up on Gilligan's Island. (Yah right Con, in the middle of Alberta! That was so lame! You should all be embarassed to know me!)

I'm very sorry. This has post has turned into a pile of complete and utter nonsense and I fear that my idiocy may be turning your minds into puddles of goo, or somehow causing spontaneous human combustion. E equals Mc squared. There's my attempt to say at least one semi-intelligent thing tonight. And now, this message will self-destruct! Good night everyone, I shall see you on the weekend!!
