Happy Canada Day!
Or Cannibis Day if you prefer. Either way, it's a great day! The sun is shining, the birds are churping and I'm just happy to be alive! When I got home from work this morning I found myself dancing to the ambiant channel :) You may ask: Why is that bitch so fucking happy? It's cause I'm marrying the love of my life in just 10 days!!! Plus my last day of work before vacation is tonight ;) Kinda sucks to celebrate Canada day & have to work, but I'll do my best ;)
Last night our neighbors had a 'Jack & Jill' shower/BBQ for us. It was really nice of them! Sherri & Peter, Ron & Laurn and Jean & Shirley were there. Plus Laura cause she did my pre-wedding make-up earlier (which looked awesome!) It was nice, they had hot dogs, hamburgers, watermellon & a cake! Mmmmm cake ;) They each gave us cards with money in it to put towards the honeymoon! That is just soo darn sweet!
Tonight we are gonna go downtown for some of the festivities. Well, before I have to go to work that is. I wonder if I'll be able to see the fireworks? Also the Public Gardens open today for the first time since Juan. I would really like to go if it's not too busy there. Maybe we'll try to remember to bring the camera. Allison is back from Nunivut & is coming to the wedding! Allison, her bf (what's his name?), Gary & Laura are gonna come downtown with us. Should be fun! I hear there is lots going on.
Speaking of lots going on, lets talk about Saturday. At 10am I have my second dress fitting in Windsor (can't wait to see it!), at 12:30 I have an eye appt in Sackville(to see if I can get contacts in time for the wedding) & Patty is doing my hair after that. Plus Sam & her friends want to take me out that night to go to the bars & party! Should be a busy day! I haven't been to the bars in so long that I think I forget how to dance! I'll like start doing the running man or something ;) Also Vinny is having his bachelor party that day. I guess him & the guys are going deep sea fishing & drinking. Sounds like fun! Hopefully noone will end up overboard!
This is getting a bit long so I'm gonna go to bed. I am just so darn happy! Eeeeeee! Wedding in 10 days!

I Will Be Married in a Month!
Laura Saunders hosted my wedding shower in June 6th & I've never been to one. It was fun! I had friends & family there & LOTS of food ;) We played a game while I was opening presants: There was a present that everyone passed around & when Laura said stop, the person who had it had to model what was in the box! Wouldn't you know it, it stopped on Nana Milligan! lol. She was mortified & probably scared to open it, but was relieved when she did cause it was a pair of earings :) We got lots of nice things, such as towels, sheets, a fan, a lamp, candles, laundry basket, stainless steele utentials, body spray & lingere (which doesn't fit, but that's ok). Mary Nunn was there & I haven't seen her since high school, so that was nice :) A few people didn't make it out, but that's alright, they live far away. My cousin Becky's baby Robin got sick so I didn't get to see either one of them. They better be there for the wedding!
2 days ago I was really sick :( When Sam came back from NB she was really sick, then I got it, then when I was home sick, mom called to get Vince to pick her up from work cause she got it, then that night Branders got it! Weird how the guys didn't get it... Anyway, it was terriable! My abs are still sore! Enough about that though...
Yesterday I got up with Vinny & we ran some errands. It was fucking hot outside! I got a burn on one arm from being in the car :S Now I gotta get rid of that bra mark before the wedding! First we went to Utility so see if they had a barbell for my tragus piercing (I want just the ball visable for the wedding). The ones they had looked too long... they would get annoying. The girl there suggested the small labret stud with the flat back & it looks awesome! Just the way I wanted it :) I had to get her to remove the ring cause I couldn't get it off myself, but she made it so that I can reuse it again. Then she put in in for me cause I couldn't see to do it. It hurt a little, but I'm sure it'll heal up fine. I think it looks better now anyway. Now I can wear headphones again! lol. I might get a jeweled ball for the wedding... Haven't decided. After that we went to rent a video game for Vince. There is a store right next door that sells shirts for $30 & you pick your own print on em. I wanna get one! They have tons of retro shit. I wanna get a rainbow brite one or something.
After that we took Zoey to Long Lake for the first time this year. It was beauitful! No bugs or anything! She need to cool off in the water & I put my feet in too. When we got there, we realized that we hadn't been there since hurricane Juan. It didn't get hit too bad at all really. Which is awesome because there are so many beautiful trees there. We were really hot after we left so we went to the mall for some air conditioning ;) Plus we had to pick up my wedding band & get Dad's b-day present. Which reminds me, his b-day is today! I gotta call him! I should go do that now. Bye :)

Bridal Shower - June 6th
Hey, haven't posted for a while. Been really busy, with work & student loans & wedding stuff. So anyway, my bridal shower is on June 6th & I'm excited but nervous cause I'm gonna have to open presents with tons of people watching me. I know I'll be beat red! lol. It will be nice having my family & friends there though. I can't believe it's here already! The wedding is about a month away! ACK! At the same time I can't wait :) I hope we'll be able to have a honeymoon. We want to go to Ontario, but I don't know if that is gonna happen. But my aunt Linda works at the Westin & can get us a room for Sunday & Monday for $49/night! That would be sweet! The wedding night we are gonna be wrecked anyways so I think we just might camp in the yard or something.
I've started tanning & love it! I think that is in my last post, but now I'm actually getting dark! I love it! I got this moisturizer that is made from hemp seed oil & other natural things like cucumber & ...well it doesn't really matter! It's called Hempz & I love it. It smells so good when it's on & makes my skin feel awesome :) It's cooling too so after the tan it feels great! Highly recommended ;)
I have to start getting ready for work though. I'm back on the night shift cause the auditor quit :( For today & tomorrow I'm working 7pm-7am. Shittiest shift ever! I need another job. Still haven't heard if I'm getting a raise or not & I'm starting to get pissed. I can't wait to start my massage course. I passed the pre req courses! Gotta shower, bye!

Orange Romeda
People have been getting their invitations for the wedding & calling us! People we haven't talked to in forever! It's great. I talked to Ian Nordin for an hour & a half & I haven't seen him in about 2 years! He is the reason me & Vince met in the first place :) If I didn't know Ian & went with Melanie to his place that day, I would never have met Vince... That would have sucked ass! Anyways, we've also talked to Gary Burgess & Angela Britton. I missed Ang! She really is an awesome person. Just wish I knew where everyone was so I could invite them.
I started my tanning sessions for the wedding :) I'm gonna be fucking hot! lol. I got 400 mins at Fabutan in Clayton Park. It seems nice there. Next time I go I think I might buy some tanning lotion or mosturizer or something cause my skin is kinda dry from it. My freckles are coming out though :( I knew it would happen eventually. I think I'll start putting sun screen on my face before I go cause they are getting dark. I've been putting 2 butterfly stickers on my right hip when I tan & they are starting to show! They will look awesome when I'm all dark & they are white :) I thought that tanning would just be a pain in the ass to go to, but I really enjoy it. It's like 10 mins of my day where I can fully relax. Enough about tanning...
The title of this post, Orange Romeda is the song I'm listening to right now. Yes it's Boards of Canada & no I'm not sick of them yet. I just keep loving them more & more! Anyway, I'm off to find a cool background for my desktop.

Busy Weekend
Friday we helped Adam & CJ move into their new place. It was a lot of work, but their new place is awesome! I hope they are happy there. Plus now they are walking distance away. I am so jealous of their wooded area out their back door & the small, but nice to have patio. If they allowed pets we would move in ASAP! lol. That's not going to happen. Madison is sooo cute! I hope our children are as good as her. She sleeps through the night AND only cries when she absolutely needs something! She is only 3 weeks old today!
Yesterday I had my first Intro to Massage class & it was awesome! We learned some basic techniques & practiced on each other. It was sooo relaxing! I wanna go everyday! lol There is a girl there named Cristina & I know her & she knows me... We just have no idea where from! She did to go Cadet camp, so maybe it was there. I don't remember her there though. Then again, the only thing I remember from that is that I went to sleep with my contact lenses on & freaked out in the morning! lol Plus I had a crush on Levon Willisko (don't know what I was thinking). Anyways, I'm sure we'll figure it out. Hopefully we weren't enemies or something. She seems nice.
Last night Laura called over & wanted to go to the movies with us. We didn't really have the dough so we all took Zoey to the park instead. It was sooo cold though! We didn't stay too long. We went to Laura's afterwards for a while. There was a bunch of cops at one of her neighbors & Vince nearly had a heart attack when he say one on his ass when we were driving in. It's all good though.
I just got back from my first Intro to Life Sciences class. The guy teaching the course is fucked! He kept going off on tangents & I didn't know what he was talking about. So instead I just read the book with what he was mentioning & it went a lot better. Too bad I didn't figure that out till the afternoon! lol. Walked to Wendy's for a salad lunch & it's not too far. Good to know! I have a ton of reading that I have to to for next week, but I actually find it interesting. The teacher doesn't think we should have to know that shit though but says it's in the curriculum... Weird.... anyways, my brain is going to explode! Gotta go!

Happy 21st Birthday Laura!
Well her b-day was actually yesterday, but that's ok :) We went over for a few drinks before Sopranos. It was fun! We have never been to her place before so it was nice. Too bad that we couldn't have stayed longer though. She is coming over again for Survivor Thursday so that should be fun!
On the Friday after Vince got off work we went down to my parents place. Vince stayed the night at the cottage with dad & me & mom made the wedding invitations. Took all night, but they are done! At like 1am we went out on the patio to smoke a j. We were so wrecked! We just sat & vegged on the couch till like 3am! lol. Picked out Vince's tux though. I bet mom was fucked up cause she is used to dad's shitty weed. Well it's not that bad, but ours is way better ;)
On Saturday we went to Terry Young's funeral... Really sad. Misty, one of his daughters went up & read a poem that she wrote about him. My heart breaks for her... Too many people have died this month... At the same time too many people have either had babies this month or found out they are preg. Well not too many, but... I don't know, I'm rambling.
After the funeral, we went to pick out wedding flowers. Kinda weird eh? Anyway they are going to be nice. White roses with pink gerber daisies & some kinda blue thingy to bring it all together. I don't really know anything about flowers & the girl at Superstore was annoying as hell. That is one more thing done though.
I'm gonna go now.

So Much Going On!
So yeah, I got accepted to the Massage therapy course!!! Now I just have to get a student loan. I can't wait till is actually starts in September! The weekend courses in May are going to drain me cause I won't get a day off. I'll just have to get lots of sleep ;) We took my engagement ring to be rhodium plated the other day so I'm wearing my wedding band as a replacement for now *tee hee* & we got Vince's wedding band at the same time! It is sooo nice :) I think he'll be happy with it. We also went to get our wedding license that day so really we got a ton done!
On Wednesday we went over to Jason's place (Vince's brother). He & Amy broke up but she is also preg with his baby! So I guess Vince is going to be an Uncle! I wonder if we will actually get to see it... I'm not sure if Jason will see it either, but I hope that he can. Maybe they can be friends through this? Who knows. It was fun over there. It was actually clean for once! We smoked a few joints & shot his cat with the air toy thingy. I forget what it is called, but it shoots a ball of air as far as 20 feet! lol. It was in heat & tried to rub itself on Vince's hand! lol Too funny.
Yesterday after work I got new eyebrows! lol. Laura insisted that I can't walk down the isle without getting them waxed so I went to her shop after work. It didn't hurt as bad as I thought that it would. They look great! After the swelling went down that is! She says that she will always do them for free, but I feel bad doing that. After the wedding I should be able to start paying her for it. When she got home from work, she came over to watch Survivor with me & Vince. It was fun, nice that we have time to hang out again cause I missed her. She is my best friend since we were born & our parents are best friends. So yeah, we always vacationed together :) When we went to Florida, the place that we stayed at was right next door to Donahue's (old talk show host) summer house! They weren't there though, but me & Laura had a smoke by the pool there. Laura's dad pissed in it too! We weren't there for that though lol. Memories...
Today when Vince gets off of work we are going down to my parents place for the night. I think me & mom are going to look at wedding cakes & flowers at superstore. They actually have nice stuff! I was surprised. We'll see if they wow me tomorrow when we go! lol. Should be fun. Then after work Sunday we are going over to Laura's place to party a bit cause it's her 20th b-day :) We have to get up early though so we won't be going to the bars with them, but that's ok, can't really afford it anyway. Well this ended up being longer than I thought! Gotta go shower now.

It's Been a While...
I haven't really been online much lately, which isn't like me at all. Usually it's basically all that I do. So here's an update :P At work I'm back on days :) It's busy, but the day goes by alot faster than the night shift! Me & Vince have the same shift too so we actually get to see each other! YAY! I missed him... CJ had the baby on Easter Sunday & its a girl! Her name is Madison Jennifer & she is beautiful! I was kinda scared cause... well if you've seen Adam, you'd know ;) Anyway, now they say they don't know what they would do without her & they seem very happy :) Also on Sam's b-day my cousin Becky had her baby! It was also a girl!!! We went over to see her yesterday & the baby is soo tiny! I've never seen a 1 day old baby before. Ryan wasn't there cause he had to go feed their dogs, but we had a nice visit. She doesn't know for sure, but they are leaning towards the name Kyla Rae! Rae was Melissa's middle name (Becky's sister who got hit by a car when she was 8) I think that is really sweet. Anyway we kinda got baby fever now! lol. I won't get into that though cause supper is ready. Oh! I almost forgot! Today I got the call that I was accepted into the Massage Therepy course! EEEP! Gotta go!

A Beautiful Weekend :)
Well this will probably be the last of happy bunny for now cause Easter is over. I just haven't been around to post much lately.
On Friday night we went over to Adam & CJ's for a bit before going to my parents place. CJ is due at the end of the month! Adam's mom gave them a baby shower & she got a lot of stuff. After the baby is born CJ's mom is going to throw her another one. I guess the grandparents are really excited. We asked Adam & CJ if they were & there was dead silence... After like a minute Adam said "well it's a big responsibility". That sucks cause if I was pregers I would diffanately be excited. I really hope that they don't end up resenting that poor child...
We arrived at Mom & Dad's place at about 10pm & we started drinking ;) It was fun. I really miss them when I'm away. Mom showed me the invitation design & it's awesome. We really need to get those out like NOW! Had a great weekend there. Me, Mom & Sam went into Windsor to try on my dress! It's nice :) It will look better when it is fitted to me though. I had to get a bigger size because of my... you know... upstairs! lol After that Me, Vince, Sam & Missy went to Walmart in Sackville just for something to do. We haven't been there in forever! It was packed though & afterwards I got a headache :( When we got home mom asked if I wanted to go with her & Aunt Patty to a movie. At first I was like NO! but that was just the headache talking. We went to see Jersey Girl & it was pretty good. Nice to get out with mom. Patty is going through a hard time right now though so that kinda sucks. I won't get into that though. When we got home we thought we'd drink with Dad & Vince but they were practially passed out! lol So me & Vinny smoked a pinner in the garage while the Easter Bunny was there & went to bed.
We got up at 10am to find some chocolate eggs & a fruit basket :P It was sooo good! We still have most of it here. I am getting tanning sessions soonly from Mom & Sam so that will be nice. It's an Easter present so I thought that I'd mention it. It was a beautiful day so we spent it outside! Brandi & I mostly hung out. We were on the swings, went biking & layed out in the sun to try to get rid of some of her 'backney' as she calls it! lol Vinny took me for a ride on the 4 wheeler too. It was great. Dinner was great too! We had turkey, potatoes, carrots, stuffing, gravey, tea biscuts & sex in a pan! :P Right afterwards we had to leave for the city though cause I had to try to get some sleep & go to work for 11pm.
I wasn't even able to sleep so that sucked ass! I laid in bed for hours. That's basically when I realized that I am stressed the fuck out! lol. It's just everything is happening at once. My pre req courses start soon so I gotta get the money for that, I have to get a work letter of reference so I can apply to the actual course, then apply for the student loan. We need to get the invitations out, order the cake & flowers. Vince had to rent his tux. I have to make a dentist & doctors appt cause I've been putting it off forever. I'm sure there is more, but I just can't think of it now, nor do I want to. I got the budget done today though so I don't have to think about that. Just found out last night that I'm going right from backshift to 7am-3pm! Ack! That will be one fucked up adjustment... Oh well, me & Vince will actually be able to sleep at the same time! YAY! I wonder how I will find it. Going from a really slow shift to the fastest one we have. It's kinda funny cause I'm training the night auditor now, he has next week to perfect his skills, then he's training! WTF? Is that a mistake? I really don't know what they are thinking...
I really do have to go to sleep now though cause we are having some kind of building inspection when Vince gets home. I don't know what's up with that, but whatever! lol Bye :)

My Weekend
I had a fun 2 days off :) Friday night when Vince got off work, we had a few drinks & cooked supper. It was nice cause it seems like we didn't see each other for a long time. Watched some TV & smoked a j before bed. On Saturday my mom came over. We hung out at our apt for a bit & then went to Staples to look at stationary for the invitations & prices on printing. Color printing is sooo much more expensive! I told mom that since the paper is colored, we really don't need color printing. Just black would be fine with me. She seemed to want it though. It's her money though! lol I think they will turn out awesome! She is going to design something & I'll see it this weekend when we go down for Easter.
We also went to Crafts Canada to look there. I've never been there before. Right when you walk in it's the wedding section. I think we'll get a few things from there. Vinny liked that pen with the feather ;) After that we went to the... 'Red Fox' is it? I forget the name of it, but mom used to go there sometimes & said it was good. It was pretty good! I had chicken fajitas & you get to make your own with the toppings. They were filling! Mom had steak & Vince had a double bacon cheeseburger. All in all it was a good place to eat & hang out. Although when we first walked in, it seemed pretty shady... It was the game room/smoking room. When we got to the non-smoking section, the people there actually had teeth! lol
We also went to Zellers & picked up some blinds for the bedroom. We've had the comforter on the window to block out the light for far too long! It's nice having blinds. They are nice & dark for me sleeping in the daytime. While Vinny had his tools out, he put up a shelf in the living room that we've been meaning to put up for a while. Me & mom were going to fill out my loan application, but the 2004-2005 one isn't online yet! Ack! It should be there really soon though... I hope so anyway. I filled out my application for the college, but need a letter of reference from work. I still have a personal one from Mr.Millard (my fav teacher). I asked Margie this morning & she said that she would ask if it was possiable. I know they don't give work references, but this is for school so it might be different. They are assholes so I probably won't get one from there, but I have Vince as a back-up cause I did volunteer work at the C@P Site. Kinda seems like cheating though if I get him to do it ;)
I'm glad mom came over. I think she had fun :) It must have been a nice break from Branders. Hopefully she'll come down again sometime soon! Next weekend we are going there though so we get to see everyone! I guess Brandi took in a stray cat. Simese (sp?) & she named it Ozzy Osborne! lol. What a kid.
Last night before work, Vince made a nice supper :) He had the candles lit & everything. I'm glad that he's on days in April so that we can actually see each other & eat together. Maybe someday we can go to sleep at the same time lol. I gotta go to bed now though. Night ;)

Random Thoughts
Say that to one of your customers on the phone today :)
Yeah so it's the weekend & I am relaxing & stuff. Um, everyone is at work though... So I might as well clean the apt for when Mom comes over tomorrow. Maybe I'll do dishes, pick up Vinny & have a few drinks. The Sopranos are on at 12:05am so we gotta hurry home from there. Me & Vinny predict that Adrianne (Chris's fiance) is going to die soonly. It just all fits. They have been building up her being forced to be an FBI informant & she is really stressing about it. My guess is that she tells someone close to her, but they tell someone & then she is known as a rat. Or someone sees her getting into the car with the pigs. Plus she is starting that Friends spinoff 'Joey' & starring as Joey's sister. Who knows though, I could be wrong. I believe that this is the last season of the Sopranos anyway. That would totally change the show though is she died. Chris would probably wanna kill the person who killed his fiance & chances are that it could be Tony. I don't know, I'm guessing here... I can't wait to see what happens! They better make the end of the season good though. Conclude everything.

Happy Bunny
I thought since it is easter bunny season that I would put an inspirational image from Happy Bunny for my April posts (or until I get sick of it). So enjoy :P
Training went well tonight. Karen is really picking it up. Except for the payment sheet, but we were working on that at about 5:30am so I am sure that she was just tired. It's really not a hard concept. If they have a zero balance & are not checking out, highlight the room # on the payment sheet. That's it. She is learning well, but one thing frusterates me. I'll let her work on something for a while without me watching her & she is supposed to let me know when she is done. Instead she goes on to the next thing & tried to figure it out & ends up doing it wrong. So she has to start again. Other than that though she is doing well. Especially compaired to the other two jerks that I trained already. Tomorrow is her last day of training before she does it alone & I think she will be fine. If she isn't it's not really my problem anyhow ;)
Tomorrow is my Friday! Wait... Tomorrow actually is Friday... Are you in the Twilight Zone or something? lol That's the only perk of the audit, weekends off. Well it's more like a day & a half cause I get off work at 7am Friday & go back 11pm Sunday. Anyways, I gotta go to bed.

Well Fuck. I Didn't Get the Job...
You know how I was waiting to hear back from the TeleTech job? Well they said that I would hear back either way by the end of the week. I didn't hear back from them so I called them today. I asked for Janet (my interviewer) & she wasn't there so she pulled my file. I guess I didn't complete the hiring process or something weird like that so I didn't get the job :(
WTF? I didn't get it? That was the best interview that I've ever had! I am usually so nervous, but I was actually confident that time. I had to call my references in after my interview & leave them on the HR answering machiene, so I wonder if she got them? I know they didn't call them because Vince would have gotten one from the volunteer work I did at the C@P Site. Either that or it was that I didn't have MTT/Aliant Telecom on there. That's only because the people that I worked with don't work there anymore & I have lost track of them. So basically all I had left was McDonalds. I'm only 21 so it's not like I've had a ton of jobs. Maybe I should call until I actually get Janet so she can tell me what part of the interview process that I didn't complete.
This sucks because I was so sure that I had it... Oh well, it's not like I absolutely need another job, it's just that this one is slowly killing me. It looks like Margie is going to work around my weekends in May & Carrie mentioned that she thought I was going part-time (in hours cause I am permanent part-fucking-time now) in September cause that's when I start school. Fuck I hate it there...
I can't wait to start school. Mom is coming over on Saturday to help me with the application process with both the course & the student loan. She really needs a brake from Brandi, I feel bad that she has to live with that everyday. She makes mom feel like shit all the time. It will be nice cause I miss her. Plus we have to start working on wedding stuff. We need to buy supplies for the invitations. Plus design them! lol I just want something simple, so I'll basically let her design it. I've only been to one wedding in my life, my aunt Lisa & uncle Darrell. That was when I was like 8 or something, so I don't really know what's supposed to be on it exactly. I think she wants a poem or somthing which would be cool if it was a nice one. I'm starting to ramble cause I'm high ;) I should go catch a few Zzz z before work. Goodnight?

Turquoise Hexagon Sun
Hey :) Where to begin? Well Vinny got his modem swap money, finally. Which meant that we could go out that night! We went to 'your fathers mustache' with Kevin & Danielle, Kenny & Lora, Dave & Cara & Carlos & Kathy. We had a nice dinner & they had a few pitchers of beer. I couldn't cause I had to go to crappy work :( It was all good though. I'm glad we actually got to go this time cause usually at least one of us has to work. Plus I got dessert! A yummy chocolate sundae :P We had fun :) Hopefully we'll do it again sometime soonly. We could be like the Sopranos & have Sunday dinners cause 'these things are important'! lol. That would get a bit pricey though. So anyways, that was fun. We drove Carlos home & I though him & Vince were gonna start making out in the backseat or something! lol Should I be scared or turned on? So confused! j/k :P
Well I was finally able to download Turquoise Hexagon Sun by BoC. I love it! It's not as good as some of the others, but diffanately worth the wait. I gotta buy their CD's! If I can find a place that actually carries them. Might have to order them online. I've been on a download frenzy, but some tracks are pretty rare since they weren't officially released.
I was talking to my youngest sister Brandi on the phone today for like 45 mins. It was nice cause we never talk except online. I think she likes talking to me cause I usually don't mention anything about what's been going on with her program. I do mention that she should be nicer to mom though. She treats her so badly. Someday she is going to realize what a bitch she is to her & feel terrible. I wish she was able to talk to mom like me & Sam can. She needs to just open up. Sometimes it scares me cause she will have these weird MSN names about suicide, but says they are lyrics to songs. Which they probably are, but when you've already lost someone in your life to that, you kinda freak... Sammy also scared me sometimes cause she seems so depressed lately. She is scared that she will end up along & she is only 18! She doesn't talk to me though. I barely see her except when she is borrowing the vaccume & she is walking distance away. Speaking of which:
SAMANTHA BROKE OUR NEW VACCUME!!! And she didn't even say anything. She just dropped it off & left. Today when Vince was going to vaccume, as soon as he turned it on smoke started rolling off of it. So she must have known. It looks like it was smoking & she used it anyway cause she burned an inside part (I don't know, Vince told me). Anyway, she broke it & didn't say anything & she is in Montreal right now. What a piss off! Our carpets really need to be done too... She is fucking paying for it to be fixed if it is even possiable... Either that or she will have to buy us a new one. The one time we let her use it without supervision... The first time she used it she sucked up a pen & everytime after that we went over to watch her use it. It's like she has no respect for anything that isn't hers... I just don't get it. Next time I ever lend her anything (if that ever happens again), I'll have to get her to sign a freakin agreement that if she fucks it up, she has to pay. God! You'd think your own sister would respect your shit... Well I'm done.

Finally Registered
Yesterday we went to Bedford to register for the Pre Req courses at the Massage Therepy College. I thought that I could just drop off the forms & the money, but the hippie lady there (I forget her name already), wanted to take me on a tour & do the admissions interview. I still hadn't slept & wasn't expecting to be going in for an interview, but it went great! Now I am more excited than ever to start this course! She was telling me about a girl who graduated from the college that opened up her own clinic (one of many I am sure). She has been turning away clients for the past 18 months! lol That's crazy! I really think I am going to enjoy the course though. It will be alot of work, but worth it in the end. She said that for those 2 years, that's basically what I'll be doing the whole time. Which means homework & I may not be able to work at the same time (she didn't say that in so many words). I'll have to see how it goes because I really have to focus on this. There is a lot of money at stake. She was also telling me about the Outreach Clinics that they do at least 1 evening or on a Saturday afternoon. The one I'm interested is the Pregnancy Massage Clinic at the IWK! It's just so perfect for me because I had wanted to be a midwife earlier on. They also have infant massage as one of the electives :) I am going to be taking the business aspect of the course aswell because it basically teaches you how to run your own practice. They also offer support after you graduate for whatever path you decided to go on. So yeah, I am really excited!
While I was taking the tour, Vince say an old lady hit a curb & busted her tire :( Being Vinny, he changed the tire for the lady, refusing the money she had offered! That's my man! I could tell it made him feel good too :) After we left there, we went to Arby's. We both love it there! Their Roast Chicken Club is the best! Not to mention their strawberry milkshakes :P So anyways that was yummy.
Today I got up at like 8am for some reason. I couldn't fall back to sleep so I did up the garbages & recycles, tidied up & started laundry :) Vince always surprises me with stuff like that so I thought I'd do it for him today. I'll have to get him up in time so that we can take Zoey to the park because its nice & warm out today! Spring is coming & I can't wait! I should get going though cause I gotta find something for breakfast :)

Take That Mother Fuckers!
Remember how I told you that my Margie couldn't guarantee if I had those weekends off in May yet for my course? Well it was like she didn't even give a fuck. Now she is all worried & asking me what days exactly! lol. I think it's cause I was talking to Carrie last night & she was saying something about her going on vacation in May & I said, yeah I don't even think I'll be here then. I guess she didn't know. She must have told Margie that though cause she even asked when the actual course starts in September! lol. Silly mortals... I don't wanna be there in May! I gotta leave or it's gonna suck ass...
Sorry, I think it's the chunky peanut butter talking... Smooth is the way to go in my book. Anyways, I just can't wait to screw them over! I wanna do it before the new people get trained though, but that's starting next week. I just wanna put my notice in & be like 'Take that mother fuckers!' <-- its from a Chemical Brothers song. It will feel sooo good!
Man, this whole BoC thing really intregs me. I need to download something that will let me play the songs backwards cause there are cool messages & shit in there. I downloaded 'Happy Backwards' which is just 'Happy Cycling' played backwards. Anyways there is a whole conversation going on in the background. Kinda cool. You can hear people talking in lots of the songs, but you just can't quite make out what they are saying. But you don't really notice, it just becomes part of the music. My next mission: Find out why they are called Boards of Canada & have a song called Nova Scotia Robots & they are from Scotland... Kinda weird. Maybe they grew up in Canada? Or they just realized that it's the best Country in the world! :P
...I'm gonna go now...

Trippin on BoC
Oh man I'm trippin! I was just reading on a website that Boards of Canada have subliminal messages about weird shit! It's trippy. Maybe they tricked me into listening to nothing but them! I get into these phases though in my musical listening. Last time it was Radiohead. There is this song by BoC called Dandelion that has Leslie Neilson's voice in it. At first I couldn't for the life of me figure out who it was! lol I reamember watching those nature show that he narriated. It's cool cause they talk about them maybe being Pagan :) That's fucking awesome! I'm Wiccan, but same diff really lol :P Whoa, it just felt like I wrote a lot so I'm gonna go to bed now.
P.S: I'm high ;)

Rock & Roll!
 Who's your inner rockstar?
Found this nifty online test thingy on someone's blog. Kinda cool, but I wonder what the other results are. The person on the site I got it from was Ozzy too! lol. Ozzy rules!
I'm listening to Eno Test by Boards of Canada right now & loving it! Just thought you'd like to know ;)

Been Playing SSX
Me & Vinny have been playing alot of SSX (snowboarding) lately & I love it! He's good at tricks & I'm good at racing :) I beat all of the racing venues & unlocked something called 'untracked' in 'freeride'. It's awesome! It's this mountian with a wicked view & plaing in the background is Finished Symphony by Hybrid! I love that song! I didn't realize that it was on the soundtrack. Anyways, you gotta check it out. It's fun to just sit back, relax, race, smoke a few joints & drink! What more could a girl want?
I have that interview today with TeleTech. I hate interviews. I'm trying not to think about it cause I'll just get all nervous. Not like a absolutely need this job, I already have one. I just really want out of my current one. They have me down training again... Hopefully I'll be gone by the time that happens ;) Wouldn't they love that! Man Margie would be pissed, but whatever. I kinda want to leave them screwed :) It would make me feel needed. Well they do need me, but they never tell anyone there if they are doing a good job or not... I've been there for over a year & haven't had a preformance review... Kinda weird considering when I was hired there was 'a lot of room for advancement', yeah, if someone dies! Anyways, Vinny is up so I'm gonna try & get him to roll me a bedtime joint. Gotta get up at 1pm! Oh man am I going to be tired at work tonight :( It's for a good cause though :) Oh & for those people who think I shouldn't take job at TeleTech? Yeah you, the ones that told Vince so? Well comment in the fucking comments section! lol That's what I put it there for ya know! Noone comments on it except for strangers... Anyways have a nice day :)

Aced the Computer Testing - Real Interview Tuesday
I just got back from my 4pm computer testing interview with TeleTech. It was so fucking easy! I walked into a huge emply lobby & had to call the HR department to let me in. It smelled like a hospital! lol When I got in, she told me about the test & away I went. First it was like a typing test, but you listened to calls & input the information in the correct fields. There was 11 to do so it was kinda annoying cause there wasn't anywhere to rest you arms. Then after that, there was a Windows 2000 test. What a joke! It was like 'rename file x' & 'send this file to the recycle bin & then restore it'. You had a time limit of 35mins to complete it, but it took me a little less than 10mins :) So after that I got up & went over to the desk to let the lady there know that I was done, but before I even said anything she said that eveything looked good. I was like 'you can see that already!' lol, she said yes obviously. Anyways she said I did an excellent job & asked me back for another interview Tuesday at 4pm! Now this is the real interview so it's one to be nervous for! lol. Shouldn't be too bad though cause they are hiring 25 people & who wouldn't want a beautiful women in the office like me? Just kidding of course ;)
I told Vinny on ICQ already & he wants to drink tonight! lol. Don't know what we will drink yet though. Tricia & Shane might want to do something, but I'm not counting on it because last time they cancelled at the last minute. Besides the fact that we haven't met them in person yet. I talk to Tricia online & my friend Laura knows them. Maybe we'll end up going over to Adam & CJ's for a bit. I really want to talk to her about the baby, but there are always losers over there... I'm sure we'll talk about it sometime. Anyways I should get going, I'm starving! Gotta tidy up the kitchen before we can actually make something though. Have a good one ;)

Got An Interview!
The other day I saw an ad for TeleTech. It's a callcentre & they are hiring 25 people for full time positions with benefits for $9.25/hour for training & then $10.00/hour after that! I hate call centres, but decided that the money sounded good & what do I have to loose? Not much really cause I already pretty much know that I am going to have to leave my current job at the end of April to take my pre req courses. So I applied about 2 days ago & got a call yesterday. They left a msg cause I was sleeping at the time, so I called Tracy back this morning after I got off work. She asked me a few questions & set me up for a computer testing interview tomorrow at 4pm. That sounds easy! The only other time I did a computer testing interview was at the Staples callcentre in Sackville & they pretty much offered me the job right there. I ended up declining it though because that's when I had an offer at another job. The only thing about this is that she asked me if I was currently enrolled in school, which I am not... yet. I wonder if they will be flexable with my needing those days off? Maybe the training will be during the week? That would be sweet because then I wouldn't even have to ask about that. I am only going to discuss it after they offer me the job. I'll also tell them about the days surrounding the wedding that I need off at that time. I'm not expecting them to pay me for that time of course, but not like I'm going to miss my own wedding! lol. If worse came to worse, I would just quit before that date. It would be cool if I got the job & they let me go onto part-time when my course starts in September. I suppose I should probably just be worrying about the interview first, lol!
I wonder what I am going to wear? Probably just black pants & a dress shirt. I'm not big into skirts. I hate interviews with a passion, but I shouldn't have to worry about this one, because it's just with computers. I'm sure if I do well, I'll be scheduled for a real interview. Then I can worry! lol. I really want this so I can leave my crappy ass job that I'm at now. Anyways, I should go. Gotta eat something!

Training Tomorrow...
I really haven't had much to write about since my whole last post topic. Yesterday me & Vinny got our haircut. Aren't you excited? lol yeah right. We also went grocery shopping & spent more than we should have. Hopefully it will last us this time though. We are trying to eat healthier so veggies & stuff is more expensive than the junk we usually get. We also picked up a comforter that matches our flannel sheets that we got for Christmas. It was only $20 so you can't go wrong with that for a queen sized bed ;) I think we should pick up a couple for the bunk beds, that are sitting beside me with nothing on them.
Crap... Gotta train on the audit tomorrow. It's not going to be as bad as last time because it's March Break so it's not as busy, but at the same time I can't do what I want. Such as listen to my MP3 player & play with my cell phone. Man that shift is boring. I really should apply to TeleTech TODAY! You know, just to get outta there.
Well I don't know what else to write... Oooh! I almost forgot! We took Zoey to the commons & she had fun :) We barely go there anymore, but I love it. We really gotta get out more for walks & such. I have to go to bed now.

Crazyness... Unexpected Crazyness...
Last night we went over to our friends place Adam & CJ's, to smoke a few joints & play xbox (will watch actually). We got some unexpected, shocking news! Well I found out after we left, but Vince was in the other room with Adam & he told him that CJ was pregnant! I guess CJ walked in the room afterwards & Vince was like, no way, how far along? Adam said due in about a month! Vince totally didn't believe him, but CJ took the pillow away from her belly & there it was! Holy fuck! She hid that well... I guess they didn't want Otto (fucked up crackhead) to find out. They said Vince could tell me though. They just told their families just about a week ago! That's crazy! She must need someone to talk to. I'll try & talk Vince into going over again tonight. No wonder she hasn't smoked weed for a while... Now that I think about it, she does always have a pillow on her lap, but I didn't think anything about it. It's just comfy to sit that way.
Not like we are super close friends or anything, but I still feel for her. I wonder if they are keeping it? She is trying to go to university... Well they must have decided to if they just told their families about it. She must be so scared to hide it all that time. I know if I was preg I would be yelling from the rooftops! That's just me though. Well maybe I can help her out a bit since we live so close. That is if they don't move. I know she was talking about moving to a new apt, but I didn't know at the time what for. I kinda feel like a fool for not noticing...
I want to get her something. She had absolutely nothing so far. Unless they secretly have a stash of baby clothes at their parents place (which I doubt). I should go though, I'm being super lazy today & need to get some stuff done. Like the budget ;)

We Miss Ya Trav
Today is the 2 year anniversary of my friends suicide. I still haven't gotten over it, but do you ever really get over something like that? Travis was my first real bf. We had so many good times up the his parents garage smoking & drinking with Taylor, Levon, Adam, Tara, Tamara, Melanie & Katie. Well they are the ones that introduced me to techno. They made me who I am today ;) I was 14 at the time & he was 17, the relationship lasted about a year. I always hung out with older people. Guys my own age were still playing G.I. Joes. One of the best years of my life though. I went to soo many parties! Man... Good times. I still can't believe he's gone. I don't think I'll ever delete him from my ICQ list. Sounds silly, but it's hard. I might write more about it later, but I gotta go to sleep.

Baby Shower Madness!
This weekend, Gary was supposed to come over. He wasn't here by 8pm, so Vince called him & he said he had no money so maybe next weekend. Thanks for the phone call buddy. Some people don't think. We had the house clean & bought muchies & mix too. We haven't seen him in over a year so we were kinda looking forward to it ya know?
On Saturday, Laura (my best friend since we were born), Tricia (someone I met on the net, but Laura knows) and Shane (Tricia's bf), were supposed to all get together & drink & smoke. We were like, sweet! The house is already clean, come on over guys! Later that night, Laura called & said that they wanted us to go over there, that was cool, but we had to finish dinner. I called Laura after dinner & she said that Shane didn't wanna do anything anymore. That was kinda weird. It kinda pissed Laura off too cause she had planned the whole thing for all of us to get together. Laura ended up coming over though so that was cool. We haven't hung out for a while either. Me & Vince drank & smoked, but she didn't, she usually doesn't, but she still knows how to have a good time. It was fun catching up :)
Today I went to a baby shower for my cousin Becky. She is due next month! I haven't seen her in forever before that. It was nice seeing her again. She has that pregnant glow :) I went with Mom, Sam, Brandi, Aunt Patti & Nana Weir. I won a spatula! *whoo hoo* cause I guess I had an x on my cup that I didn't know about or something. It was fun though. Although it was in a church. I don't go in churches if I don't have to. It's like against my religion or something. It was in the basement, so that's ok, I guess. There was a TON of people there! Meagan (Becky's sister) said that she knew only about 10 of them! lol I forgot to ask Becky how many she knew. Alot were Ryan's mom's friends I presume. There was literally a mountian of gifts! It took soooo long for her to open them all! By the end of it, I imagine that she was pretty tired. My favorite thing was a tigger jolly jumper! I used to love mine! Then when Sam was in it I would push her like a swing :) My kid is diffanately getting one! I don't fucking care if I'm in an apt! It was fun though, good to see Beck again :)
I'm at my parents place right now & I love it here. I just wish Vinny could have come up. On the way to the baby shower me & mom were in one car & Sam & Branders were in the other, so we had a good talk about work & the wedding & what's going on lately with Bran Muffin. It was nice :) After we got home, I had a nice talk to dad about work & how I should leave my dead end job. We talked for a while about making webpages too. It was cool, cause it's been a long time since I hung out with dad by the workbench :)
Then later watching the Sopranos season opener (which was fucking awesome!!!), me & Sam talked alot just about stuff that's been going on. It was just us & that doesn't happen very often. She was telling me about this girl that was in grade 8 & she was in grade 12, but this kid had a huge mouth on her (she was pretty big for her age too, bigger than Sam). Sam gave her many chances to shut the fuck up, but one day she called Sam cyclops... That was the last straw. Sam threw her up against the wall & told her to shut the fuck up. She didn't listen so Sam threw her in the air down the steps (don't worry, there was only 3 there). The kid ran away & apoligized later. I'm glad Sam stood up for herself cause she takes alot of shit. Well she was born with no muscle in one of her eyes. She had surgery to put a sling in it, but you can still see it if you look. Myself I don't notice it, I think Samantha is a beautiful girl. She is really self conscious about it though. It sure pisses me off when people make fun of her. I just get this rage! It's fucked. It's like don't mess with my sister you close-minded little fuck!
Holy fuck this is long! I should go to bed. Vinny is offline, I'm got my ambiant channel on & feelin the groove :P

I Finally Did It...
Last night I got to see the schedule for Sunday. I was not impressed. See I thought if I was doing to the audit, it would be just that. But instead they had me on Sunday 7am-3pm! WTF is that? They I go back to the audit Monday. So that totally fucks up my sleeping patterns. Plus I have a babyshower for my cousin Becky to go to Sunday from 2-4pm & I had been really looking forward to seeing her. So when Vince called when he got home from work, I asked him to talk me out of quiting. He said he couldn't do that cause they treat me like shit! lol So I decided that if I don't get Sunday off, my last day would be Friday (today). So basically either way they would have to find someone for Sunday ;) I get so nervious when I have to do shit like this. Not that I have ever done it in this job, but it's kinda stressful.
So morning came & Margie came in. I told her everything that she needed to know about the day & then said I need to talk about the schedule. I said I need Sunday off because I haven't seen my cousin for a really long time (about 2 years). So then she cuts me off & basically says that she could if she would, but she can't so she won't. So then I said ok, either way I'm no working Sunday (well except for the audit if I have to), so if I don't have it off Friday (today) would be my last day... She was pissed! Her face got all red & she slammed the office door to call Jenny to see if she could work it. She came out like a 1/2 hour later & said she wanted to talk to me in to office. She asked if I needed any other time off that she didn't know about. I just said every weekend in May (which she already knows about), for the pre req courses for the Massage Therepy course that I'm taking. She said she'll do her best, but I might have to leave before then, I said that's fine. I already said that I would give my notice at the end of April if I couldn't be guarenteed to have that time off. If I'm paying for the course I'm fucking going! lol So basically she said she was dissapointed, but Jenny said she would work it. The whole time she was being really sarcastic & even compaired me to Rhonda! lol I thought it was kinda funny. I just gave her that blank stair that I learned from there (fuckers). So anywas she said I have Sunday off & she left the office.
So I leave & get in my car. Then I realize that I got my way! HAHA! I didn't even have to quit like I thought ;) Maybe I'll have to use that again! lol. Well now I know it's the beginning of the end there though. Well it is anyways cause I want out soooo bad! I was dreading coming into work last night. Carrie didn't even mention it & she was cheerful (for a bitch). Then in the morning Margie was nice me me! lol She was actually more nice than she usually is! Maybe they finally realize that they are fucked without me ;) Which they are cause it's all new staff & who would train them on the audit, but Carrie, then she wouldn't be on during the day so a new person would & they would fuck everything up. Oh yeah! I forgot to mention that Carrie told me that 2 other people asked for it off so don't tell anyone! That's all she said about it. That would have been Aaron for 1 because it was his birthday weekend. What does he expect working there though. I should just find a new job anyways.
In other news: Lookie what I found ;) I've seen it before, but I think it's funny.
Um, yeah, this guy must not be from Windsor. Everyone there it seems is on crack now. It's really scary. Especially considering that my youngest sister is almost to the age where she will want to hang out at the hockey games or downtown. I know she is smarter than that, but she is also going through a hard time. It's just scary :S Anyways I should get going, I didn't realize how long this would be! Have a good one.

Sick of Backshift Already :(
It's official. I'm sick of doing the audit already! I just wanna get outta there ASAP! I don't even want to work during the day. I wish my course would start sooner. I was going to work part-time there while I went to the massage therepy course, but not I'm not so sure. Maybe I'll just get like a job at Putting Edge like Samantha. The pay is about the same & it sounds kinda fun there. It's a glow mini golf place. We've never been to it, but it sounds like it would be fun to work there. They do b-day parties & I love kids. I am just sick of getting to work with a list of mistakes that I made on the audit. I'm new to this! Fuck off! I can't do anything before work, like smoke weed or drink & I can't do anything after work, unless it's by myself. Everyone is sleeping at that time. Plus I don't get to see Vinny :( I really miss him when I work this shift. If I'm feeling good enough, I'll get up at like 1pm to hang with him till he goes to work, but then I have to catch at least a 3 hour nap afterwards. My sleeping & eating patterns are all fucked up. I swear it's not healthy to sleep when it's light out & be awake in the dark.
Anyways... I really need to get the money for the deposit next pay. It's $90 for the pre req courses so they'll save me a seat. I was going to this pay, but it just wasn't possiable. Also next pay my car will be totally paid off! That's a good feeling :) I only owe a little less than $65! Then I can put that money onto the Visa or rings or honeymoon or something good!
Well I should be getting myself something to eat. I wonder what I'll have? Maybe spehetti or something easy, cause I'm just not in the mood for cooking. I just wanna stay in bed all day.

1 & 1/2 Days Off (So It Seems)...
Well I got off work at 7am Friday, which is one of my days off & I go back today at 3pm. It seems like I'm missing 1/2 a day somewhere. Friday we were supposed to go grocery shopping, but instead went out to East Side Marios for dinner! I was yummy :P I had the Tomatoe Chicken Tetrizine (sp?), but the chicken was kinda gross. Vin had something that was really good, but I forget what it was called. It had red & green peppers, onions & cheese on top of veal & mushroom stuffed pasta! It was the best thing he's ever had there! I wanna get it next time ;) After dinner we stayed & talked for a while, it was fun :)
Saturday, we did cleaning, laundry & grocery shopping. It's nice coming home to a clean house. We ended up drinking our summer cottage drink (Cyclone, 7up & a dash of grenadine), and watched 'How to Deal' with Mandy Moore. It was a good movie. I don't remember the ending at the moment though. We smoked a bat too :P
We had a nice evening together, just Vinny & me! I just wish I didn't have to got to work yet. Vince has the day off & I'm not sure why I'm in at 3pm, when for the rest of the week I'm in for 11pm-7am. I gotta go though! Vinny just got up :)
