Ok so I'm back from BC. It was a pretty good trip. Relaxing. I spent most of my time either shopping in the 3 stores available or at the pool soaking up the rays and swimming a zillion laps. Seriously, swimming is fun.

We played board games and watched Young and the Restless all together, because that show is awesome.

I've discovered the formula for absolute hair control. It's weird herbal shampoo + a large ammount of chlorine from a pool + sleeping on it wet = excellent hair (meaning hair that feels like cement and will stay in any way that you mush it on your head because it's just that strange)

I'm sleepy, so here are some pictures of the mini golf course that I love, there are more on my flickr site, enjoy

It's a Sad Sad World

I'm going on vacation tomorrow morning, well, today morning I suppose. I picked like 10 books to take on my 4 day vacation and
now they won't fit in my suitcase because who the fuck takes 10 books for 4 days, it's retarded. How many times can you read Harry Potter anyway?

So anyway, I'll be gone for 4 days or so, going to BC is the plan. Maybe do some hiking, maybe some swimming, maybe even some tennis, I don't know if there will be enough time. What I do know is that there will be a large amount of minigolf being played.

OK bye

I love the noise the computer makes when you empty the recycle bin.

Swish. Goodbye Trash. Swish.

So my brother bought me a present, and he got one for himself as well, but it was nice of him to do. In anycase, it's awesome, so I thought I would make a video of it and put it on here because that is just the kind of girl I am.

Here is is, the Dwight Schrute Bobble-head:



We always watch the Office together, so now we have matching bobbleheads. hehe, cute.

also,
this is hilarious:

Hell Yeah Italia!

OMG Italy won the world cup.

It's a friggen miracle, and what a game. They won in shoot out. Talk about suspense.

We got Baba new flooring and new furniture, which is red and it's awesome. I don't like red but I'm in love with the living room now because it looks so good. And I think I want to buy the house when she moves out.

Do you ever wish that you could be completely honest?

with yourself, or even with other people?

I try to be honest, but there are some things that I can't help but hold on to. I'm scared of being judged, no matter how much I say what other people think doesn't matter, to me it kind of does, just a little bit. Not enough to change me, but enough to admit that I don't admit everything to everyone.

I got my stereo back.

That needs explanation.

When I was 16 I got the most amazing stereo for my birthday, I picked it out. In the store my dad and I had Beautiful Midnight at full volume, to see what it would sound like.

Anyway, the stereo broke after 6 years of constant use, and the CD's wouldn't read.

Today, it is back from the repair shop, I've given up the new stereo that I got so that I could have this old one, the sound is just so amazing I can't believe it. I'm in an oblivion of joy with this thing. I'm playing Beautiful Midnight as a tribute to the first CD ever played on it.

My dad was on the deck and he could hear it outside, and he said that he wished I was playing Apparitions. He knows it's not on the album, but it's his favorite Matt Good song I believe.

We are getting new flooring

I can't stop looking at this stereo and thinking that I used to talk on the phone with Heather's like Sunday playing in the background
and i remember a certain ex-boyfriend who would point out that it was playing

I wouldn't care, because I was focused on him, I guess he wasn't focused on me.

I was never beautiful, I was cute. Never, in my life have I been beautiful.

Fuck

Song - Heather's Like Sunday - Matthew Good Band

Today at work I was told a story about this dog that had to be shot because it was attacked by a porcupine and it had like 300 needles in him, in his eyes and everything.

Then when I got home I learned that the girl who was in that big accident on Ellerslie road and 50th street is the sister of my ex-boyfriend that I dated for 4 years. She graduated high school with my brother, so that's how I found out about it. And I must say, I'm in complete shock.

You never think that these things happen to people that you know. I'm a lot more upset by this than I ever thought that I would be, not that I expected this situation, but in general I suppose.

I'm sad for him, and for his family. I can't even imagine how they must feel. He was an amazing brother to her, the kind of brother that people wish for.

In me it opens up a lot of regret, about how things have turned out, and how I imagined they would turn out. I know that things don't always turn out as planned, but I've just strayed so far off the course I imagined that it's like some other alternate reality or something.

Damn introspection caused by major tragedy.

I'm taking my dog for a haircut tomorrow. Should be a good time.

It's a good day to be Italian

And the tradition continues. Every 12 years team Italy makes it to the World Cup finals, and this year is no different.

Oh what a game what a game. Back and forth until the second overtime period. Where a beautiful, and I mean gorgeous shot is taken by Fabio Grosso. And finally, a score. Fuck, that was a nice shot. It should be called "Bend it like Grosso, not like Beckham". But maybe that's just me.

Then, for icing on the cake, Alessandro del Piero scores another goal.

Ahhhhh final on Sunday, I can't wait.

Today a miracle happened, my order from Amazon came and in it was my new copy of my most favorite childhook movie, The Chipmunk Adventure.

I of course ripped it open and popped it in the dvd post haste. And let me tell you, it was exactly like I remember and I haven't seen it in a good 15 years or so. But I had seen it approximately a zillion times before then, as I would make my mom rent it every other day. Why they didn't purchase it, I just don't know.

Anyway, I sang along to the songs and shed some tears in the mushy part that I always loved (there are penguins awwww) and I totally felt the need to blog about this movie because I just love it so much.

It's only an hour and 16 minutes long, which surprised me because it always seemed much longer as a kid. But I guess every perception changes from when you're a kid to an "adult".

Yesterday I did my hair and makeup before work, today I did not.
Les said "yesterday you looked beautiful, what happened today?"

Sharon said "What happened to your hair?"

Susanne said "she only dresses up for her boyfriend that goes through her booth" (which is false by the way)

Dee said "she dresses up for the hot armored car guy" (which does have a hint of truth to it - but also I slept in this morning)

Guess I better not look horrifying on Friday or everyone will freak out.

I think I need an eye exam

Because the brother of the girl who hosted this party I went to on Saturday is an optometrist and he is fucking gorgeous. He served shot and drinks and was funny and basically is was a droolfest by me. We took random photo's of ourselves, but does anyone think to take a pic of the hot doctor? NO. Ugh. Dumb.

I've never been to a party on the North Side before, let me tell you, gorgeous house. Like beyond beautiful. All this crown molding and arches all over the place.

Today I had cucumber maki and it was yummy. Yummy squared really.

I also watched a bunch of bad movies, like Catwoman and Without a Paddle. Soo bad. But I prefer to waste days off rather than do anything with them.. uhh I have to work 60hours this week and that is not fun at all.

I should sleep, but I slept in so now I'm not tired even though I have to get up at 4am to wash my hair and maybe make an attempt at makeup.

Song - Symbolistic White Walls with Villian of the Year Lyrics - Matthew Good

today the hottest guy in the world tried to teach my mom how to use chop sticks when we went for lunch. and he was just beautiful
then mom couldn't get it so he tried to teach me his method (because i have my own method which is very successful) so anyway he was moving my hand around and i was like *swoon* and when he left my mom said "you need a fella"
and then i said "baba says i need a boyfriend so that i'll clean my room"
and we both laughed about that one


anyway, he was gorgeous and it reminded me of the sex & the city episode where samantha waits around for smith because he's a waiter at that raw food restaurant.

yummy

then we went and bought shoes, and i told mom she's a bad influence on me because she insisted that i buy shoes even though i have no money

uhhh

I got my hair cute, dyed, and foiled today.
Reviews are mixed:
Gina - wow, what made you dye your hair red?

Katie - it's almost as short as mine

Mom - this is the best haircut you've ever had

Dan - hey man nice hair

Dad - is your hair different?

Pictures will come tomorrow. Most likely.

Cute guy at the hair salon was talking to me and I freaked out just like always. Too bad too because the hair dressers were talking about him after he left and he sounded really nice.

pink bunny suit

i dreamt i was a butterfly last night. i flew around all over the place and i was the most brilliant shade of blue, and i had black in my wings as well.

and i was flying and there was a wonderful breeze and i could soar high and i didn't have to flap my wings because of the wind current. it was brilliant.

then i had to work today and it wasn't as bad as yesterday, but it was hectic. although we made this balloon caricature of one of the employees and it was funny, we cut apart the mop to glue hair on and i drew the face and we taped pennies on for earring. then we hung it from the ceiling. good times.

i spent the weekend making this kickass coffee fund form in excel and it automatically does everything you could ever want it to do because i made a thousand formulas for it and then i made an awesome memo on how to use it with print screens and everything and it was labelled, the pictures i mean. oh man. best memo ever.

4 Charter buses came to the airport today, and they picked up all of the Carolina Hurricanes' fans.
Man was it ever busy, I put through like 600 customers, and that is a hell of a lot of customers. So by the end I was a bitchy crazy person.
And pretty much I still am, especially since it's 10:34 pm and the birds are chirping and I can't sleep because of them and I have to get up at 4:30am . so grrrr

i'm getting my hair cut an dyed on tuesday. i'm excited. i don't know exactly what i'm doing to it, but should be fun anyway.

ok sleep now

Miracle of Miracles

I got my fucking raise
$2.75 raise, which is acutally quite a good raise
hmmm
but i still have to get up early
so i should sleep

i drove my mom's car today and i was looking all over the place for the clutch and it was really strange because it's an automatic
crazy cars

Song - no song I'm going to sleep sillies!

And So It Is

I am currently located on 25 Peeps.

So what ended up happening at Baba's was that her TV was too old for the DVD player and so we ended up watching Legend's of the Fall, on the education network, and uhhh yummy Brad Pitt.

I had never seen it and it was good although I was kind of bored, but then long haired Brad Pitt came in and it was all ok again.

Barbara - no, baba would not like fight club, not even a little bit. She is into movie's that are rated less than PG-13. So we rented Cheaper by the Dozen 2, and watched it at my house, and she ended up loving it like I knew that she would. Actually over Christmas she made us turn of Mystery Alaska, because it was too racy with those 2 teenagers making out in the snow plow. Yeah, we had to turn off a Disney movie.

Song - Empty Road - Matthew Good

i'm apparently getting a raise tomorrow, but my boss hasn't told me how much the raise is yet or anything. this is just getting more and more stupid by the day.

i'm spending the night at my baba's house and we are going to watch movies and eat popcorn and have fun.

she's mad i can't drive her to church in the morning, but there is no way i can get my car up that hill without stalling and sliding down in reverse and probably exploding into a car of flames.

so i am off to rent some grandma worthy movies. hmmm

if cleaning was fun it wouldn't be called cleaning, it would be called having fun

No matter how hard I try I just can't go to bed before 11pm and I'm actually starting to lose my mind and talk weird, in non-english speak, and I'm a grammar freak so it's crazy.

My Baba is not impressed with my stick driving skills, but she has informed me that it is only because I am a girl and girl's should not be driving sticks to begin with, so it's not personal. Hmmm.

I have agreed to an extra shift at work, helping my boss interview people or something insane like that. I'll probably just end up organizing paperwork for 4 hours before I get fed up and leave. Mainly I'm taking it just to see the look on the girls face who spends all her time brownnosing to him and still he asked me. HAHA

Bonjour Honda Civic Si

yes here it is, i am finally blogging about my car because as we all know, it is of the utmost importance

Today at Zellers I bought this awesome kleenex thing because I've envied Angela's Keleenx thing for a very long time so I called her to find out where she got it

Ok I have to get up at 430am

It's a 1998 Honda Civic Si, and both my brother and I ended up with the exact same car, same year and everything which is INSANE@

ok sleep now

EDIT - today I was thinking "what's better than a new car? well a new car the smells like coconut, so I bought an air freshener when I filled up with gas, and then i left it at the fucking till and i'm such a dumbass."

oh well fuck the freshener, the car can smell like my perfume and cleaner stuff
