I Love Meredydd

So beautiful....

I hate waking up in the morning, but something feels satisfying about waking up early and coming to work, being a friendly face, reading the newspaper, doing the crossword, etc. Then I get to go home at 3pm and feel like I was productive so I can just loaf.

In other news, Joel is telling me that reading books is "supporting the killing of trees"... Dear lord.

Check Out My Tight Protein Strands!

I'm so addicted. I've spent an hour folding protein.




FOLD IT!!!!

Lightening the Mood

This is funny. My friend posted it on Facebook and I want to post it on my facebook, but isn't that copying?

Poor Lonely Jen

She's not married with kids! LET'S GET HER!!!! *western society raises pitchforks and rakes*

This drives me nuts! I hate "poor lonely Jen" coverage. This is clearly the media's attempt to drive it into women everywhere that even if you are a gazillionaire and good at your job and have tons of friends- you are a complete failure at life if you don't settle down and have 18 hundred babies. I read this great article at Macleans about the whole situation (see below quote).




“This whole ‘Poor lonely Jen’ thing, this idea that I’m so unlucky in love? I actually feel I’ve been unbelievably lucky in love,” she told Vogue. “Just because at this stage my life doesn’t have the traditional framework to it—the husband and the two kids and the house in Connecticut—it’s mine. It’s my experience. And if you don’t like the way it looks, then stop looking at it!”
(source)

Seriously, if I'm ever a successful, beautiful, strong, independent woman- SHOOT ME IN THE SPLEEN! Not only would it disappoint me, but society as a whole.

Y'all Bitches

Sir, You Are No Relation To Me

Oh man. This is my favourite guy in the running for the new Doctor.

The Beeb is pretty conservative so who knows if they'd go for a black guy. Seriously though, he has that Doctory look to him. Then if his daughter comes into the mix people can be like: "um... wait..."

In other news a creepy French business man tried to bribe me to get the keys into the hostel to take like 12 of his friends. It was so sketch. He was like "What if $50 bucks from your dear Uncle Frank was in it for you?" and I said: "Still no..." It was so alarming. YOU ARE NOT MY UNCLE! AND EVEN THEN I WOULDN'T CALL YOU UNCLE BECAUSE YOU ARE CREEPY AND YOU'D LIKELY BE ESTRANGED FROM MY WHOLE FAMILY!

Sigh.

I hope tries something drastic to get into the hostel before realizing that its a prison and he can really do nothing to get in short of getting the code off someone. Even then, I guard the only door and have cameras everywhere. I'm like the controller BITCHES!

Wonderful Day

Today is excellent.

In my hot little hands I hold my valid Canadian passport and a plane ticket to London, UK. There I will meet my stunningly handsome boyfriend and we will backpack across Europe to his home in Norway. Then we will spend a perfect little Christmas together and I'll stay for a few weeks and then fly home :(

I'm so excited. My imagination is running wild! I won't be able to sleep for 39 days.

I Need Attention

Immediate attention.


Click for Big Version

Auf Wiedersehen, You're Out

Ahhaha I love this commercial. Imagine Heidi Klum just does this in her apartment.

Mr. Gee Is Brilliant

You Think THIS is Good!

So many more gems to come!

C'est L'Halloween

Yay FSL Grade 3!!!!

What Have I Done!!!

My love of creating senseless, yet relatively harmless gifs has come to THIS! WHAT IS THIS MONSTER I HAVE CREATED!!!



And why does it want to devour our souuuuls? Scariest frame RIGHT HERE. All the stills are on my flickr. Oh God... how did it all go so wrong....

P.S. Happy Halloween.... I was doing an asprin mask....

Dream A Little Dream of Me

Today I feel like I'll never stop being sick and the glow in my skin and hair will never come back and the day when I fly across the ocean to have a whirlwind romantic adventure will never come.

It's not a fun feeling. In fact, it's downright depressing. So I did what I do when I feel absolutely horrible... Do something OUTRAGEOUSLY silly.

Not a Rant or Rave

Hello Fudge Muffins,
I am almost done my very very sparse Christmas shopping. Meredydd and I decided to get all our Xmas presents from the same website on the same order so we could get free shipping. muahahha. Meredydd knows exactly when I'm getting her for Exmas. It is the lovely buttered toast wallet you see above. Sadly I could only get very cheap XMas presents for a few people. I have holiday stationary from a while ago and I intend to send Xmas cards to all my lovelies with a special Xmassy note, but sadly no goodies. You know, because of the christmas adventure.

Speaking of Christmas adventure. I got paid today and put about $800 into my line of credit to help pay for the ticket. Joel said he is paying for as much as he can while we're there but I still want to be able to pay my own way just in case. I will also send everyone lovely postcards of the places I'm going.

I met with Kat's wonderful beautiful Mum today and she graciously signed my passport papers as a guarantor. We chatted too and talked about hostelling. She told me about how she lived in a hsotel for about a month and met a ton of great people. I can attest to the fact that you will meet the most extraordinary people in hostels. It takes a lot of huevos to fill your backpack and experience the world. It sounds like a ton of fun, but its a scary thing. I'm actually quite terrified and I'm only doing it for two weeks.

In other extraordinary news, my current favourite blog has updated. Yes, the hilarious UPSIDE DOWN DOGS BLOG! I cannot express how much I am amused by upsidedowndogs. It make the internet a better place. It's making my horrific sinus infection not so bad.

Sachsgate

Russell Brand "quit" the BBC today. I'm totally pissed off at the BBC for using him as a scapegoat and all the attention whores (i.e. Georgina Sachs) who brought this about.

Watch his resignation video here.

Dear Russell and Jonathon,

Fuck the BBC! Do whatever the hell you want! You both make enough money to produce your own shit. Don't let them make money off of you and use you as a scapegoat for their own failings.

The End

Forget My Wishlist

For Christmas I want NOTHING! Not a sweater! Not a card! Not a twinkle in your eye! But if you were going to get me something like that anyway (say a $2 card) I beg of you to donate that money to my pay pal account as I am scrounging as much as I can to save for my Christmas trip. For example, if everyone in the Amanda Stanley Appreciation Group on Facebook donates $10 it will pay for all my accommodation and food.

Love in Unlikely Places

Sometimes when I'm very tired and have been studying all night and feel sick and homesick for old things and new things and I'm completely alone and need a perfect person to tell me the perfect thing to make me feel special and loved I turn to my old friend.

Halloween!

I shall be a Greek/Roman lady of some distinction!

Obama Fever

Another rant post. I don't mean to complain. I just calls em like I sees em.

Note: This entry excuses people who voted or who discuss Canadian politics as much as they discuss American politics.

All my Canadian friends seem to be talking about the American election. It's all OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! but they didn't make an effing NOISE about our elections and Canadian candidates. We had a record LOW of voting this election. Our last voting peak was in NINETEEN FIFTY-EIGHT! (Courtesy of Dief the Cheif).

"Some 59.1 percent of eligible Canadian voters went to the polls Tuesday, breaking the previous record low turnout of just under 61 percent in 2004, according to preliminary results from Elections Canada released on Wednesday."

Good fucking job.

Before you get your panties wet for some American candidate, try being a responsible citizen in your own damn country first. Move there if you love him so much.

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/reuters/081015/canada/canada_us_election_turnout

P.S. I think Obama may actually be Harold Saxon. Not that I want McCain to win, but that's exactly what Saxon would want.

New Season of Family Guy

I enjoy watching Family Guy as much as the next person, but occasionally it actually truly bothers me. Mainly when they make jokes about violence against women.

I watched the first few episodes of the new season and I'm so not impressed. Two jokes in particular really stick in my mind. One was a Dr. Seuss parody "Horton Hears Domestic Violence in the Next Apartment" where we graphically hear a woman being beaten and her sobbing and crying and begging for someone to help her and god knows what else in the next apartment. It was hard to watch. Not like Meet the Parents was hard to watch. It was hard to watch like watching orphans of war is hard to watch.

The other one involves Peter trying to get the waiter to give him a record in exchange for sex with his daughter.

Peter: Can I have that record? I love that song. I'll let you have sex with my daughter...

Waiter: I don't know...let's see what your daughter looks like.

P: She's...uhh...(pans past Meg to "hot" girl)...right there!

W: Ok, I'll do her. But can you tell her to cry and beg me to stop?

P: I think that can be arranged.

Please don't tell me to have a sense of humour about this. Think of three girls you know. One of them has been sexually assaulted. So not funny.

Don't Wish Your Life Away!!

I thought I wanted the time to go by faster. This was stupid because I have SO MUCH LIFE TO LIVE in 6 months!



My list of things to do before summer!

• go horseback riding! (before it snows hopefully)
• go to the movies at least every other month!
• skate on the Rideau Canal
• take a free gym class (tae cardio, total body conditioning)
• buy a second hand bike (for under $50)
• MAKE not BUY Christmas gifts for everyone I love (well, I can buy craft supplies)
• go to at least 2 concerts
• visit Picton for a weekend
• clean my apartment (I mean REALLY clean! scrub the floors and walls! clean under all the furniture! clean out the cupboards! etc... p.s. I might need help for this one)
• make sushi
• have a nice hot bubble bath (at the hostel probably! haha)

This isn't like my vow of celibacy, I'm really going to do it! (Oh god, that quote will come back to haunt me.)

Night 2: Why is it so easy to eat Ben &Jerry's in the middle of the night.

The worst is over. Got through first night alone with flying colours. For some reason, I was sicker today than yesterday, but at least I slept at a decent hour and woke up at a decent time so today will be easy to fall asleep.

Somehow my antenna is getting more channels than usual but I can't find Jon Stewart, I found Arrested Development however, which is really just as good. I can hulu Jon Stewart later.

In kitty cat news, Boris used to get um... "excited" at night when I first got him and he often would hump random things like pillows and socks and my leg... well he has randomly started doing it again. As soon as my sinus headache doesn't cause me to snap at the drop of a hat, I will clean the entire apartment and make everything nice and cozy for him.



My apartment is a complete disaster area right now and I hate it. I'm not truly comfortable anywhere in it. I think that this is also partly due to the fact that I have completely outgrown this little place. It was a wonderful first apartment and we've grown a lot in it. But I'm running out of room on my bookshelves and I feel like I'm always bumping into things. I have no place to store winter things in the summer or summer things in the winter. This spring will bring a much needed change in my evolution.

I'm going to sleep now. It's almost 1am which makes me sleepy. I'm afraid of waking up to Boris humping my foot.

♥♥♥♥♥

Scared Silly

He's leaving for Norway for six months. I will see him at Christmas. I can't handle thinking about it. It's so silly, I would make fun of someone else for being like this, but it's true and I can't pretend I'm not effing devastated.

Expression!

I feel like posting a gif to express how disgusting and sick I look/feel.


Why are gifs so addicting to watch?


lolz....


MERBEAR!

Do You Hulu

This is just about the best thing ever.





Now I shall watch ALL TV ALL THE TIME!

Also, does anyone know how to fix old timey desktops (JON?)? Meredith's computer is broken beyond my knowledge and she can't afford to get a technician in to fix it. This is quite upsetting.

Half Forty

I am a very stylish girl 20!

My birthday AND Christmas present is my bed so that's what I got from my parents. Plus they paid for not one but FOUR meals for me and my handlers which is pretty awesome. We also went to the Museum of Civilization and the art gallery and the IMAX.



We are the MYSTIC ELEMENTS!


I look like a cow slightly.


Oh Annie.


We met Tom Green who was eating next to us with his Dad and brother which was nice, except Joel get star struck really easily and may have startled Tom Green a little. Luckily they are both from North Bay and their dad's both work for the military. He didn't smear us with poo or anything, so that was a plus.

Tonight Joelio and I went to Tucker's Marketplace for my free buffet which was EXCELLENT. I had to be rolled home like a big fat blueberry child.

I just had a highly hilarious conversation with Alysson.

Alysson says:
also one is a butter face
||Amanda|| says:
what is butter face?
Alysson says:
everything's hott but her face
||Amanda|| says:
ahahah

Today Joel made french toast but put a little drop of vanilla into the egg/milk mixture and I almost fainted from sensual pleasure. It was wonderful.

Meredith got me a cake today which we will eat TOMORROW.

P.S. I wish there was something that could show you what livejournal mood you used most often.

Sleep In

I slept in. Boo. At least I got an extra hour and a half of sleep this morning so I'm in a really good mood. And also, my work gave me a birthday card which is exciting. Everyone from work signed it will funny little messages.

Rey Jr. said: "Happy Barfday".... -_-

I will post later as boredom consumes me. The family is here in 4 hours approx.

Joel and I went to the used bookstore tucked away next to the Bytowne last night. It was an excellent hole in the wall place. I bought John Hodgeman's "The Area of my Expertise" which I'm about to start reading now.

LOVE YOU ALL MY SAUCY POO PANS!

Busy Times

Boo, I'm working hard at school (reading mainly... lots and lots of reading). My boyfriend is in Winnipeg for a few days training for his crazy U.N. mission.

5 Minutes From My House

:(

A woman drowned on Sunday afternoon, after her motorized wheelchair fell into the Rideau Canal in downtown Ottawa.

Police and paramedics were called to the Colonel By Drive near the Laurier Avenue Bridge just after 1 p.m. Five officers jumped into the canal and pulled the woman from the water. The woman was under the water for nearly 10 minutes and had no signs of breathing or a pulse. She was taken to the General Campus of the Ottawa Hospital in critical condition and was later pronounced dead.

My Secret

I would send this in to postsecret but I want the world to know!

Things Nans Say

"thought the video awards were total crap last night, except for your British boyfriend who was brilliant, but not very appreciated by the strange American mix of white bread + rap kids. Kenya West was good though, liked the new song, otherwise it was crap."

Oh Mom! I love Kenya West too!!

Who's My Favourite Queen?

Oh Russell. I'm so proud. haha.



Review

I watched the first five minutes and then couldn't handle it anymore. The staggering power of the Jonai overpowered me and I had to go onto the roof with Joel where he was "not smoking" and enjoying the cool after-rain atmosphere of our world.

This picture blows my mind however:

He looks so chastened. He's having one of those: "What if I just GRABBED HER BOOB" moments in his head. Or maybe singing the coco pops song. His giantness scares me, because Paris Hilton is tall PLUS wearing heels. When I met him he was a good 6'4 or 6'5 in heels. I'd also like to point out that he was wearing those exact jeans with the side zip... that penis bulge in those jeans has RUBBED AGAINST ME IN A SUGGESTIVE WAY!

Omg I love him.

I'm working a day shift right now. Yes. I'm at work. At 7:30 in the morning. I haven't worked this shift in 4 months and I'm not 100% sure what to do. It's horrifying. Joel is coming to have lunch with me though so that's nice. And I'm going to try to get out of here a little early so I can get to class on time.

I'm so tired I'm awake. Is that weird?

Camping!

Here are some lovely camping pictures. It was a nice week. I wish I could have had more time to relax and read, etc, but that didn't really happen.



Boobs? Sun? How glamorous.


An LCBO and graveyard... classy!


I should add that I'm standing on top of a cliff... It's very daring.


He's wearing a purse... in the wilderness. He's THAT secure in his manliness.


Mind the buoys!


Moose Travel REPRESENT!


Otter family!


"Are you looking at my wife's ass??"


Portage : FAIL
Don't drop kayak on girlfriend's head whilst trying to strike manly pose for camera. He finds this picture hilarious...

Me as interviewed by Alison!

Sailing!

Cheers my mini wonton dumplings!

Everything went well. I had a wonderful weekend. Family liked the boy. Boy liked the family. My mom took a lot of creepy paparazzi type photos and said stuff like: "You'll thank me later!" Pictures like this:

I could do without the world facebook staring at my partially naked body.


We went sailing. It was pretty awesome. Except all day at work I felt like I was on a rocking sailboat and had to grip tightly to the desk to keep from toppling. (P.S. Look at his muscles... mmm)

Joel was the only one of us to catch a fish but my dad had to take it off the hook for him. Also, it was TINY. hahah that's what she said. It took me forever to work up the courage to jump off the boat. I had to wear a life jacket and keep my feet near the surface for fear of toe nibbling mega-sharks or something. Joel was afraid of cold water not fish... so he says. He did a very well formed dive from the boat but when he surfaced he made the sound of a posh bear being stabbed by a chav bear.

Anyway coming home on Sunday was horrifying. There was an accident on the 401 and it took us 3 and a half freakin hours to get to Kingston. We missed our train and had to catch a later one. As a result I slept NOT A WINK and worked all night. I had about 4 redbulls over the course of 8 hours. When I got home my body was buzzing and I had to take gravol because I was feeling sick from the sailboat feeling. My ears were ringing from people setting off alarms at work. I laid in bed and just reeled.

Fantasy

The thoughts that keep me going through a rough night shift...


(Dear GOD! Click the cupcake!)

Look up cupcake recipes and then drool about them. It's how I imagine men look at pornography. My mouth just hangs open and I stare. I dream about eating them and how they taste/feel... I imagine Nigella baking them for me...

I should probably go do work now. I'm drifting away.

No Longer Single

Because I know my mom loves juicy gossip.... I'm off the market. To show this in blog format, I will post a youtube link.




In other news, somebody at the hostel was just telling me that his friend is really good friends with the girls of Robots in Disguise and he was telling me about how drug fueled RiD and the Mighty Boosh are. I knew they weren't exactly beautiful rose petals of innocence, but it still breaks my heart a little. It's also always a little strange when someone says: "You don't know who they are but The Mighty Boosh are like my favourite comedy pairing!"

Boo my throat hurts so much. Why does my body hate me???

So Busy!

Hello my hushpuppies!

Life has been quite busy since all the Russell rhubarb. He mentioned Meredith on his show but never got back to her. It was very sad. "MEREDITH! Now is NOT the time for NANECDOTES!"

I'm planning a wee vacation to Prince Edward County in mid August and then I'm camping for a week at the end of August. All in all, not a lot of work going on, haha. I've been working pretty hard this summer though, so it will be nice to get some relatively free vacation. I really can't wait to get to the Sandbanks and dig my toesies in the soft sand.

Working on the computer is making my shoulders hurt a bit. Boo-Urns.

Rhubarb!

Firstly, can I just say that I am a very happy happy woman. We met Russell Brand after his fantabulous gig (my throat was hoarse from laughing) and he was so genuine and caring and sweet afterwards. He gave both Meredith and I a good kissy and cuddle. And we chatted and he warned us about his "spores" getting us pregnant and stuff. I said I was pretty much a mini-Russell and he was like: Ooo you little pervert! *wink wink* And his gigantic penis bulge was rubbing against my leg as we were talking. He was also huge in general. Very very tall and very very broad. With his boots on he had to be a good 6'4. Everything about it was amazing. He signed my Booky Wook which now reads "Russell Brand <3's Amanda! xoooo!" His manager kept going like: Russell we have to go! and he kept hanging out until they whisked him away in a van. *le sigh.* I'd like to think I'd still be there with him now if it wasn't for mean old Nick!

We also met Matt Stone from South Park, Hal Sparks from Queer as Folk, and Seth Rogen from ... every Judd Apatow film. Cupcakes were involved. I wanted to sing "I'm Fucking Seth Rogen" but I didn't...

We also saw Old Montreal and the Musee des Beaux Arts and we saw a live band at the Divan Orange (which was a little strange and we may have been drugged there) but all in all it was nice.

We had a lot of drivers with a death wish. I got two new pairs of shoes. We saw Dark Night which was amazing. Brilliant. Dumbledore kills Batman with a harpoon.

Officially A Crazed Fan

Ms. Lee
I don't know who to ask about this but "communications" seemed pretty good. Maybe you can point me in the right direction. I'm going to the Russell Brand show tomorrow night and I'm a HUGE fan. I have his book and was wondering if there was anywhere he'd be signing autographs after/before his show. Who knows when he'll be in Canada next and my roommate and I are travelling from Ottawa to see him.

Thanks for any advice you can give or an email of anyone I can ask.

Annie! It's your DAY

Today is Annie's sweet 16. Pretty sweet kid. I was so different when I was 16. It bothers me that she is cooler than I was.

Last night I stayed in and watched Conan in my underpants and it was very peaceful. Then I listened to Russell Brand's new podcast for a glimmer of a mention of the Montreal Comedy Festival, which didn't happen. I wonder if Matt is coming with them? His Los Angeles girlfriend could come up for a visit. It'd be glorious. ha.

Montreal:
So we are leaving Ottawa around 9:30am on Thursday and coming home around 8:10 on Friday. In case anyone wanted to know our exact itinerary. I think the first day we will check out the Musee Beaux Arts and then go out to Russ's gig and then to a cafe or something. Then the next day we are going to check out Mont Royale and some of Old Montreal maybe. Naomi explained it all to me. There are two pages of scrawl about Montreal and all the cool things we could do.

In other news, I got this kick ass hair stuff my Aunt recommended to me. "Biosilk". My hair is luxurious and soft man.

So Hot

I should point out that I have no air conditioning and it feels like 39C outside with humidex. I'm on the third floor. I have a ridiculous fan set up around my desk that puts me in a kind of windy zone.

1. What drink wakes you up best in the morning? Cold cold Iced tea!
2. During the day, what do you drink to keep going? Water. Lots and lots of it.
3. Do you drink the recommended 8 glasses of water per day? Why/why not? I never count but I probably don't. I try to drink a lot though.
4. What are the ingredients of your favorite mixed drink? (Doesn't have to be alcoholic!) I love margaritas!
5. Are you a coffee drinker? How do you take your coffee, if so? I don't like coffee so much. More of a tea person.

I'm back in Ottawa. My Canada day was awesome and even though my visit was busy it was nice. I didn't really get to hang out with Annie... it was really just her putting aloe vera on my scorched back.

I also have a ridiculous sunburn from Canada Day. Ridiculous. It's just started peeling today and I don't want to wear a tank top and gross out everyone but it's too damn hot to cover it up.

So I hung out with my family from Hungary at the beach. It was so nice and calming (by calming I mean CHAOS but it was still nice). My cousin Zoli has tons of pictures that I'm waiting for him to email to me, but I'll post them (yes you perverts, beachy bikini pictures).

Canada Day!!

On the date board this morning I drew lots of maple leafs and an RCMP mount. Yaay.

In other news, I'm dead tired. My night shift is done in 10 minutes. My train leaves in less than two hours. I think I look/smell/sound less than stellar. All my bones ache and I'm cold and totally forgot to bring a sweater of any kind (its going to be cold on the train.) I'm going to check and see if I brought anything long sleeved for the journey.

Last night Meredith hung out with me on night shift and we ordered some chicken and watched some Doctor Who and suprisingly as a result I got everything done very early and had time to investigate a lost iPod. By investigate I mean explore its contents, look up its serial number (in vain) and then wipe it completely... adding my own stuff of course. It was left without a cable, headphones, etc but luckily it's a nano too. I dont think anyone else has a nano. Anyway, it's been here for two weeks and nobody's touched it. Nobody has made a move to see what's on it, etc. As a result, I'm grifting that moFO.

Clean Up

I cleaned up the wishlist section. I got rid of stuff either I've gotten or don't really care much for anymore. I added one thing. Maybe if I have some spare time at some juncture I'll add more stuff.

Sometimes I read my horoscope just to pick out the flattering bits and go "Oooh, that's me!"

Because she is usually so attractive and charming, it is sometimes difficult for men to appreciate the talents and intellect of the typical Libra woman. In many ways she is the most feminine of the zodiacal types. It has been said that although she thinks like a man, she reasons like a woman. These women have a natural ability to make relationships work. Though self-sufficient, they are not happy alone and usually have a partner in their lives.

I swear it says that.

Tonight I'm going out with some gals from work for a birthday dinner and then afterward we are all going to the Orchestra. That being said I better get to sleep so I can be fresh faced and lovely. I have an extra ticket (no "plus one" sadly) but if someone wants to go the orchestra I have an extra ticket. It's at work though, so if you want to go I'd have to call them and see if it has been snatched up yet.

Crazy Cat Peyote

I have irresponsibly gotten my cats high. I got them a new cat bed (cleverly shaped like a sofa) and there was cat nip all over it. Boris cautiously sniffed it and then proceeded to get off his tits. Olivia licked the handles and stuff and rolled around next to it, but Boris went crazy licking and sucking on the fabric of it. They are all burnt out/exhausted now. I should probably fill their food dishes because they are likely in for some munchies. ha













I'm going on a secret getaway for Canada Day. I want to fall off the grid for a few days and just do nothing. Just some relaxation and peace and quiet. Chaos follows me like a lost puppy so I'm sure it won't be peaceful and quiet, but whatever. haha. It will be nice to be away from the chaos of Ottawa on Canada Day.

Also, I just remembered the time that I saw Jon at Lees and I texted hiim with "OMG I SAW YOU" and he was like: "I DIDN'T SEE YOU" and I was like: "I'VE DYED MY HAIR AND I'M WEARING SUNGLASSES AND A BIG HAT" and he was like: "ARE YOU IN DISGUISE?" it was funny... because it seemed that I was.


I ran some errands today. Bank. Post office. Pet Store. Opticians. All in all, it's been a rather productive day. Well, out of the house anyway. I need to clean my room and do laundry HXC. I may just chill and do the inside stuff tomorrow. It's too lovely out.

I have today and tomorrow off and most of Thursday so I have a lot of time to catch up on laundry, etc.

P.S. Sorry about the cat sofa picspam. I really am.

I was so not ready for George Carlin to go. He was only 71. Remember when he was Mr. Conductor on Shining Time Station? I have nothing else to say.

Turn Left!

I have so many spoilery opinions of the new Doctor Who episode and until I find a way to make a "lj cut" on blogger I can't share them with you.

All I will say is this... WILF IS MY HERO!

The following links are spoilers. The exact moments where my wee heart broke. Damn you RTD.

Why am I so cool?

New Dress

I got this lovely dress today at the Gap. The Gap actually has the best sales of anyone in the whole world. It's convertible so it could be strapless or strappy. I don't know if I have any shoes I can wear. Oh I think I bought a pair when I worked at Reitmans that were like black and white. They'd probably look quite good. Though I'd rather find something similar to what the model is wearing.

It's also kind of see through. I'll have to experiment with underwear to find something that isn't visible under this dress. haha.

Lucky Day

Yesterday, besides not quite getting enough sleep, was pretty good. Meredith and I went to the chicken and rib cook off and it was GLORIOUS! I can't describe how amazing my chicken sandwich was. I want to go back today SO BAD. The smell enough was enough to faint. We met up with Kate and Amanda, jokingly referring to it as a double date. (Kate and I are the husbands and Amanda and Meredith are our wives. haha)

Then we went to the Honest Lawyer where there was some pretty decent live music. It wasn't very busy. The bouncer was sooo nice. All cute and smiley. There was a really really really drunk girl dancing in front of the band trying to seduce them. It was so bad it was funny. She was like stumbling around groping herself. She really got up in the guy's personal bubble and he amazingly continued singing and playing guitar. Our waitress told us that she was just here alone and very very drunk. And apparently she tried to order another drink and her boobs just fell right out of her top onto the bar. Needless to say adorable bouncer was like: time to go lady. She fought a bit and did some scratching and biting and punching. The bartender just gently lifted her and took her out of the bar. Afterward, he came by to talk to us and was like: Omg? Do I need a tetanus shot!?? It was so cute. He wanted us to come back tonight but I have to work. Boo. We tipped majorly because the waitress and bouncer had to put up with that crazy woman while still serving us really well.

When I got home I noticed the picture of my grandmother and I on my dresser had fallen on the floor and the frame had popped open. In the frame there was $40 hidden!! Rejoice! I think I'm going to grab breakfast with it.

I Feel Loved

I got to work tonight and there was a $20 gift card waiting for me, thanking me for covering the night shift Saturday when somebody didn't come in. It feels so nice to be appreciated. I kind of thought it would slip by and nobody would notice because we are so busy.

I feel so sleepy on this nightshift but I'm not sure why. I slept a normal amount last night and then slept about 5 hours before this night shift. Just a little burnt out I guess.

I'll be on MSN all night so if you're bored MSN ME!

Time to fold sheets!

Happy BDay

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AL

It's strange that your 20. And also that we had both Harry Potter and Regency themed birthday parties.

I think to myself: Omg, it must suck to be so old.... but then I remember we are the same age. Its going to kill me when I'm not longer in my teens. I will probably cry softly to myself.

Crazy Park Lungers

Boo,
The girl who quit called in sick again today so Naomi has to work tonight and can't do First Aid with me tomorrow. I have to do it all on my lonesome. *cry cry*

Meredith and I went to the park to "read" (see: people watch). There were a group of runners warming up and they did lunges in unison, but not any normal lunge, a lunge-walk combo. It was like a crazy army of lungers. I can't stress enough how hilarious this was. I almost died laughing, it's good that I was about 150 yards away or I would have offended their lunging sensibilities.

Lungers, lungers! Why!?
You have to know you look dumb?
Just stretch normally!
