Tell Me Your Secrets ... I Only Spread them a Little

Ok ok ok I've been up for a long long time because now I work crazy hours, like I start at 6am and then I finish at 6pm and can you even imagine getting up at 4:30am so that you can go to work? No me either, so I wake up at 4:50am because I feel that there is no reason whatsoever for hygiene at that time of the morning. So basically I fall out of bed and brush my teeth and pull my hair back without brushing because that is so beyond unnecessary and then I put my makeup on because that is so essential and then at 5:10am I leave for Tim Horton's coffee (2 cream, 1 sugar) and then I'm off to be so awesome and charming at work and smile all day long so that my face aches more than my back does.


At work they call me Stephy. I thought only the attractive but older Hungarian maintenance guy did this, but lately my boss has started doing it too. Which is weird if you ask me. He's all, "stephy you are slacking because you didn't make coffee" and I'm like "boss (of course I said his name here) I am reading my book and have no time for coffee" and then he starts laughing and says "hahaha stephy's back" like that's some kind of awesome thing instead of torture/punishment.

Haha yesterday boss was all "My doctor's intern got my blood pressure wrong and wrote 180/40; then the doctor told me I should be in cardiac arrest and dead. So I said I was the best looking dead guy ever" then I said "that is a matter of opinion" and it got a lot of laughs because I'm awesome.

Some company bought our company so now we're a new company and they lost all our banking records so if I'm the victim of identity theft there is a lawsuit on the way, because lets face it, who wouldn't want to be me?


Somehow at work people want to tell me everything. It's always been like this, and I've never quite understood it. I'm like badmouthing central and if this was a show like The Office, the cameras would focus on me all the time because it's always people chatting with me about how evil other people are, and then evil people coming and chatting about how evil the other people are. And it goes on and on
I think I'm delirious
Mostly they chat about how evil the other girl who does my job is (it's a rotation, so 2 people for same job hehe - note: I didn't really think that needed to be explained, but I'm sleepy and typing is therapeutic somehow). She doesn't so any work apparently. I read this note that she wrote to the boss about how evil the girl I replaced was, and it was so out of line and if she writes something like that about me I'm going to get her fired because I'm awesome and I trained her so if she mouths me off I'll slap her and put her back in her place.

Also, I don't like her car. It's says "daddy's little girl" on it and I think that's just retarded beyond repair. One lady who's been working there for like 7 years has gone on medical leave because this girl was put on the rotation and then she didn't do any work, so the lady had to do all the work and got burnt out in like a really short amount of time. This is not heresay, the lady came in today and she told me all this. Everyone tells me everyting - and all I want to do is read my fricken book.

My new superior lady thinks I'm awesome because I do all my work in the first hour I'm there and then I spend the next 11 hours reading my book in between customers, and no one can say anything because I did all my work and usually a bit more. Haha

Probably this post was horribly boring to read, that's why I inserted those lovely and super old awesome photos, to take the pain away -
so here's something interesting
yesterday our valet service had an accident - a driver smashed a 2005/2006 (I'm not sure which) into the wall of the parkade and there's like $5000-$8000 worth of damage. And everyone tells me these things, even though I have no need in knowing.

Song - All Together - Matthew Good

Notice: new favicon - and it works in internet explorer as well, the old one did not.

Today was the day I've been waiting 10 business days for, my new bedding arrived.
It's a shiny beige/gold with diamonds.
I'm too lazy to think of text to wrap around the photos, so here's some pics with no ramble. Except - cute throw pillows. And it looks so cute with the pink sheets I could die of cuteness overload.



I have to get up at 4:30am.
grrr

For all intensive Purposes...

It is still Sunday because blogger refused to let me publish stuff last night, and therefore it is Chad's birthday! Happy Birthday Chad!

Ok, since Davey and Screetus are confused, I shall explain. I received my Bachelor of Science 1 year ago, and I am working on my second degree. I simply meant that I cannot believe that I have that first degree, and that I have managed to finish half of this second degree, which is an after degree and is only 2 years long.


I saw V for Vendetta tonight and it was nothing like I thought it was going to be. Although, I didn't really have any idea what it was about, it was awesome. Whatever I expected, this was not it, and I really really liked it so everyone should go and see it immediately.

I did manage to score a new pair of shoes yesterday and they are cute and so beyond comfortable that it's insane. Yes my friends, insane.
Like foot heaven.
Foot heaven for cuteness and comfort. A combination that is quite rare.

I stole this quote from Barbara, because she always has awesome quotes and today's resonated with me for obvious reasons:

"Is 'fat' really the worst thing a human being can be? Is 'fat' worse than 'vindictive', 'jealous', 'shallow', 'vain', 'boring' or 'cruel'? - JK Rowling

Song - The Sound of Settling - Death Cab for Cutie

Not Me Baby, I've Got you to Save Me

I'm obsessed with Tom Petty's Yer So Bad and I've listened to it like 6000 times over the last three days.

It's just so good I could die of joy from listening.

Today was my last exam. It went well I think . The multiple choice was kinda tricky. Tricky little buggers, who knows what FOXP2 gene does? I dont think we talked about that in this class, but whatever. It's over.

I didn't go shoe shopping today, I'm going tomorrow. I'm taking mom with me so that she can pay for shoes. Genius.

It was a 3 hour exam, but it only took me an hour and 40 minutes to write. I don't know if that's good or not. I fell asleep on the floor outside the gym we wrote it in waiting for Angela. It was a good nap.


You're not a student unless you can fall asleep anywhere. Seriously, that's the main thing I've learned over these degrees. (wow that's weird to say - degrees).

My transcipt says I have a degree, I find it hard to believe, it's kind of surreal. So anyway, as per usual, 10 minutes after finals are over I'm bored out of my mind. I don't work until Wednesday, I want time off, but I can feel the boredom seeping in. Time for cleaning and craftiness.

I've updated the blogroll in case anyone wants to take a look, a few new links that I should have added a while ago.

The fish babies are getting big fast. It's weird because I didn't believe my mom when she told me they were bigger, but they sure are. And cute. I like fish babies. So cute. And so much easier than human childbirth, I mean, sure the mom can't eat because she carries the babies in her mouth, but imagine being able to just open your mouth and 30 babies swim out. Yeah, no pushing, just swimming, sounds good to me.

In a World Gone Mad, Yer so Bad

This Just In...

I'm a bad friend to people who betray me

I don't feel bad about it

I used to, but I just don't care anymore

I'm sick of feeling bad for things I didn't do in the first place

I don't need to explain myself to anyone other than me, and the people who really know me know that I'm honnest and loyal and really kind of wonderful

So if you don't know this, or claim to not know it, then I guess you don't really know me

And maybe I lied about being mad, but I was just "coexisting"

This quote is the only remotely interesting thing in my psych textbook that I have been reading nonstop for the last zillion hours and my bum hurts from so much sitting and reading and studying.

"The only reality you can possibly know is the world as you perceive and experience it ... And the only certainty is that those perceived realities are different. There are as many 'real worlds' as there are people" - Carl Rogers

Song- Warning Sign - Coldplay

So life is this dramady that really couldn't be stupider. People fighting about nothing, things being spread all over. It's really kind of nuts and it's like living in junior high.

This kind of stuff only happens around finals, without fail, I need to study - bam something happens.

Gina's the bad guy, that's the tale they're spinning on the radio these days. Maybe it's just me, but childish antics are getting old. Somehow, they just seem more and more pathetic the older I get.

Friends should be friends and they should stay out of business that isn't theirs, and if all you're trying to do is stay out of something that has nothing to do with you, you shouldn't get major shit for it.

I'm tired of drama, can't things be quiet and "normal" and everyone be happy for like 5 minutes of they year?

Jeebus I need to study

EDIT- my fish had babies today and they're cute. I think there's around 15 or so. Can't really tell because they're so small and you can't see them all and they swim and all that stuff

Song- Sulk - Radiohead

It's the Sequel to the 10 Commandments, Numbers 11 through 20

So I guess it's Easter

The bunny brought me a Starbucks card, which was good

Then we had egg fights

Trailer Park Boys is finally new again, woot

Happy Easter

EDIT: A Happy Easter Video:

So instead of studying tonight, like I really really really should have been, I went to see Failure to Launch.

Man, ok, I thought this was just going to be a typical chick flick, which it kind of was, but it was funny. I'm talking laugh out loud all the time funny.

I'm going to fail all my exams!

Later Gators

Song- Save Me - Remy Zero

Keep on Rocking in the Free World

Thursday was kind of a gong show. We went drinking, predrinking at John's and then to the Druid. Corinne and Ashley were trying to set me up with J, Gina is trying to set me up with N, and I ended up sitting right between them. Fish geeks to the left of me, ummm "regular" people to the right of me?

N left early, J hooked up with Lyndsey.

We went back to John's after and there was a bit of a situation that I probably shouldn't elaborate on. I ended up getting only an hour of sleep because his floor is made of cement and that's just uncomfortable to sleep on - even with a foamy (which has nothing to do with the situation).

I can't believe it's finals, I don't feel like it is. I haven't really studied all that much yet and I have an exam in 3 days. Well, 3 exams in 3 days really. One after the other after the other. Then it's over. Back to work.


EDIT: last week my stupid fish jumped out of the tank during the night and he died on my bedroom floor. He was a big fish and I just can't get my mind around how he got out of the tank, as it is covered and there's only a small area like 1/4 inch wide that's uncovered. He knocked off the lid to the filter on his journey. And he was hard as a rock when I found him in the morning.

Song- Perfect Situation - Weezer

I overestimated my ability to spread my legs

and ouch, did i ever pull a thigh muscle at spalady today/

It still hurts a little bit, but mostly it's ok

also
today was the last day of classes
it was sad
my cogpsych proff was so funny, i'm actually going to miss class
:(

Coco's Movie Debut

Shocking News Update

So apparently the company I work for has been sold to some other company so now I work for a different company doing the same job.

We're getting raises because what we get paid isn't even close to being competitive these days and that's why we have no employees.

Also, apparently every single employee knows that I'm comming back to take over that other girls job, yeah, everyone except that girl of course. Which seems mean that everyone but her knows, but hmmm. Oh well.

I'm kind of sad everyone knows, I wanted it to be a surprise.

EDIT: I'm not sure how I feel about the black background, but I'm giving it a go for right now. I don't like white on black, so this light blue/purple seems to be ok for text right now.

Song- Ocean Waves

Send me an Angel to love, I'm afraid I'll Never get to Heaven

Haloscan only kind of works, what's that "home" link> I don't know where that came from

I'm not sure about the colours

Why is there a huge gap between the pic and the writing?

I don't know

I officially hate change

I Can Hear You Singing to Me In My Sleep

Tonight is going to be exciting because I'm planning on revamping the blog.

Yes, it's time for a new layout.

I'm bored with the guy giving the finger for the background.

I want something simpler maybe.

I saw Thank You for Smoking tonight. It was good. Quite humerous. The best part was the MOD club. Ice Age The Meltdown was better though. Talk about cuteness, a mammoth that thinks she's a possum, hahahaha , that's right up my alley.

I'm going to give up drinking pop

So I'm planning/expecting to be a totally cranky/evil/uptight bitch for the next couple of days.

Sugar withdrawl and all.

Song- Closing Time- Semisonic

So I've heard rumors that Paris Hilton (gag barf) wants to play Mother Theresa in some kind of movie or something. Uhhhh yeah, good choice, veryyyyyy realistic.

In anycase, I feel that I have found the perfect choice for Mother Theresa

It doesn't get any more believable and obvioiusly super cute than that people.

Yes, Coco has developed an addiction to my blankey, where she always wants to be covered by it, and how can you say no? because it's just so cute.

Like, cute cubed really.

Song- The Darkest One - The Tragically Hip

So I just got home from my first ACE meeting (aquarium club of edmonton). Yeah I know.

It was ok
I just signed up as a member
and they were like
"say something to the crowd" to all the new members
so when it was my turn i said "hi i'm stephanie and i don't want to say anything" polite smile here

Sex Bed?

I need to buy new bedding but I'm having a problem, because all the bedding I'm attracted to is really girly and Gina says that no guy is going to want to have sex in a girly bed so what I need to get is a sex bed.

Then I thought, do I really want a sex bed? It's not going to match anything that I have. Because everything else of mine is girly and pink and has ruffles and stuff.

So then I saw this blue one, and that's kind of a comprimise, because it's blue, not pink, and there are no flowers and it looks really comfy.

Then I found this gray one, which I think I like even more than the blue one, because it seems sleek and clean, and is one step closer to a sex bed.

and man, baby blue trim is just cute.
plus my pink sheets in the gray bed would be darling and like a cute little secret

opinions?

Song- Someday You Will Be Loved - Death Cab for Cutie

I'm tired and angry and sad and upset

Song: Glimpse Into Hell - Melissa McClelland

A Stupendous Movie Review by Moi

OK so I watched In Her Shoes tonight, thinking like, this is going to be awesome because there are going to be so many cute shoes, it will be like shoe overdose. Yeah, not as many cute shoes as there could have been, unfortunately it was more about the "relationships" as opposed to the shoes.

My mom laughed at me when I gasped when she broke the heel on those Jimmy Choo's . Seriously, that's a crime. And fuck, when she spilled the ice cream on those cute wrap ups. ahhhhhh. A crime punishable by death.

Other than the kind of lack of cute shoes, it was pretty good. I wouldn't watch it again or anything, but overall it was pretty cute. Especially all the old people. Good times are the retirement palace.

Song- Nautical Disaster; The Tragically Hip

mwwooo doooomm shshhhooo

It's really late
I am sleepy
The drive home was crazy with all the fog and I could only see 2 feet in front of my car and I got a little concerned when someone was driving in my lane towards me but it all worked out alright as you can tell because you are reading this.
I trained someone today.
She goes to a Bible college type thing, I can't remember what it's called so when I say Bible College it's not meant to be derogatory if someone is offended by me saying bible college.
She gave me a kind of evil look once she found out about my BSc.
We didn't discuss it after that.
She's nice though.
Boss is all "i'm dying for you to come back, I can't wait"
And I said "nothing says 'come back' like money, give me a raise"
Boss said "oh you're so funny"
I said "I'm not joking"

The End because I am sleepy and my mascara is leaking into my eyes and making them all stingy but they still look cute which is what is important. MM hmm.

Ps - I finished the most kickass book at work tonight while i was training. ahahaha i'm so good at training that i read books. ok i'll write about it tomorrow.

Song Cry, Cry - Mazzy Star
