100 Books - Book #6

Book #6:
White Oleander by Janet Fitch

Boyfriend Of The Week #7

Bob McKenzie...Why not? He brought together an entire nation of teenagers, along with his stupid brother Doug. For instilling pride in a nation and drinking copious amounts of beer, this week's for you.

Bitch Slap You Ho Bags Back To 1973.

My family was being really stinky yesterday, so I took off my rubber gloves, picked up my car keys and hit the open road. Other than my family (my mom and my brother) freaking out on me yesterday, I had quite the lovely day. After going to Aimee's house and breaking down we drove to Saskatoon on a whim. The ride out there was pretty uneventful. We listened to American Idiot, which I have been wanting to revisit lately, followed by a shwack-load of Decemberists. When we got to the city I thought that maybe my cousin would be home, so we went over to their house and scared the shit out of their room mate, Nicky.

Obviousely our trip turned down Broadway way to a little place I call awesome. Or Amigos. We ate there and then walked around downtown for a while. Everything was closed, which was good because I had no money along (or money in general). We stopped in at Calories, because let's face it, I always do. We got some toffee cheesecake, and these fucking awesome little chai shortbread cookies. Delightful. We were going to stay in Saskatoon and just get shitfaced, but I didn't know what to do about my car, and we wouldn't have had any way of getting around, so we made plans to head back to our city and go ahead with the shitfacedness. Somewhere along the way I decided I should just go home and face my mother, so we saved the drunkeness for another time.

Things That Were Yelled Out In Unison:
GOSPEL TENT!

Things I did many times:
Screamed like I would if I ever saw a dinosaur.
Said, "Fuck it."
Listened to Mama's Always On Stage by Arrested Development.

Thank You To Adam For:
Being awesome.
Having supper with us.

A. Off And A. Bab Hit Up The Town Of Gray.

Today was really slow at work. Although cute things kept happening to me today.

Cute Thing #1:
I was walking down Lorne Street to get to my first job and there was a cute boy keeping step with me on the opposite side of the street. He kept smiling over and at the end of the block when we parted ways he waved.

Cute Thing #2:
At my second job you have to be buzzed through the front door, or, if you work in the building, you have a code. Well, there is this one guy who works in the building and I know he has a code, but I always ring him through and then we eye flirt the shit out of each other for a minute. Today he came over and thanked me for always letting him in. I would have enjoyed it more but I was very aware of my boobs being huge and the top button on my dress broke before work, so there was a bit of a free show going on.

Cute Thing #3:
There was a hot boy on the bus in front of me reading a book today. I noticed that he had a worm on his shirt so I picked it off. He turned around all like, "Why are you touching me?" He didn't actually say that, just with his eyes. I showed him the worm and said, "There was a worm on your back." He said, "Oh. Ew. Thank you. That rhymes." And he just smiled and turned back around. It was adorable.

My cousin Alanna was down from Saskatoon before she moves to Yorkton for the summer, so we hung out tonight. We went out to Gray to have a barbeque at my brother's house. Alyson had all of these really great garage sale finds and now I really want to go garage saleing. After supper Alanna and I climbed a tree and then hung out in the hammock. Trevor was being a butt-face so he wouldn't let us take the quad out. However, he did hook up this little trailer, which Alyson filled with blankets and pillows, and then Trevor pulled us all around for about half an hour. Saw some antelope and baby foxes.

On the ride home I listened to Alexi Murdoch and now I am sleepy and ready for bed.

Adventures.

Sunday Afternoon:
Today I woke up and instantly hit the Guitar Hero. In the middle of my rocking guitar solo I received a phone call from Matthew Blackwell. We went out for coffee and talked about this one time when we went to the Buttertart and ate perogies. Obviousely we both started craving perogies, pretty hard, so we went in search. It was easy enough to find some. After that I headed home where I had another fight with my mom, and now I'm just going to tune out the world by watching many episodes of How I Met Your Mother.

My Saturday Night:
I wish I had just stayed home and watched How I Met Your Mother.

Exciting Things About My Week:
Working.
Phone call from my chiropractor about the job I "applied" for.
Maybe more hangouts with Blackwell.
Watching the rest of How I Met Your Mother.

Boyfriend Of The Week #6

Patrick Dempsey. The only thing that makes you attractive is your role on Grey's Anatomy. That and the fact that in this picture you seem ready to hop into my bed. Also, in real life you seem to be a decent father, so kudos. For being ready, wearing pyjamas, being hot and toying with Meredith Grey's heartstrings, this week's for you.

100 Books - Book #5

So, I watched Love In The Time Of Cholera last night.. not great. Then I fell asleep and had lovely dreams of:
1. The Best Concert Ever. I don't remember who was playing, but there were a couple of huge headliners and it went on for weeks.
2. Falling into a swimming pool full of money.
3. Guitar Hero playing.

Book #5:
P.S. Your Cat Is Dead by James Kirkwood.

I saw it at the library the other day and I'm pretty sure I read it in the eleventh grade, I just don't remember it. There may be something about a midget cat burglar. I'm just not sure.

Make Out.

So, I sort of met Wes Bentley yesterday. And then we sort of made out.

My second day at the new job was awesome! I really love it. Also, this morning I had an interview at my chiropractor's office. Well, it actually wasn't a interview. I don't know what it was, but hopefully it ends in me getting a job.

What else? Oh, I didn't actually make out with Wes Bentley, but there was a lot of talk of me wanting to after. Wes, if you're out there, I'll totally make out with you. Sigh.

New Job.

Hang It Up:
1. Banners. Nobody likes you and you were all folded inside out. Hang it up banners.
2. New people. I've forgotten all of your names already and now I'm going to feel bad when you all know mine. Hang it up new people.

Keep It Up:
1. Complimentary juice. Thank you for providing me with all the vitamin C I need. Keep it up complimentary juice.
2. Trainer. If you stop helping me I will fall apart because there is so much to know. Keep up the training, trainer.

I love my new job. I really hope that at the end of the seven weeks I'm still able to work there because it is fucking awesome. Everyone is really nice (which makes me feel worse because I remember three people's names). I'm in love at least four times over from today alone. I probably met about forty people and it was really overwhelming because the woman training me only has today and tomorrow to teach me, so she was trying to ram as much into me as possible. I answered the phone at least thirty times at the first place and maybe three times at the second place.

I guess for those of you who don't know what my new job is, I will tell you. I got a part time receptionist job, downtown across from the library. I work for 1 1/2 hours at that building and then I walk over to the other building on Victoria (right across from the park) and work there for another hour and a half. It's not many hours, but it's a really intense job. I pretty much have to know who everyone is and what their job title is. I'm sort of freaking out. I hope I do okay.

Also, I have a job interview tomorrow at my chiropractor's office. Actually, I'm not sure if it's an interview or if I already have the job. It's still sort of up in the air, but I'm sure it will work out.

I forgot to write that I finished The Amber Spyglass a couple of days ago. I wasn't a big fan. Anyway, I'm reading a new book now.

1. The awesome dress pants I bought the other day were the wrong size and they didn't have my size. Sigh.
2. Callum Blue is in The Tudors. Awesome.

Alone In A Big Empty Room.

Last night was the longest night of my life. Actually, the longest night of my life happened in Norwich, but this comes in as a close second. My dog went to the vet yesterday to be neutered and then spent the entire night moving around the house trying to lick his wounds. You might wonder, "How is he reaching his wounds if he has his cone on?" Well, I felt bad for the little guy because he just looked so pathetic in his cone, so I took it off. Pretty much from 11 p.m. to 9 a.m. this morning I spent the night watching him like a hawk. Then my mom woke up and took over. Gong show. He seems to be in better spirits today and the incision is healing fast so today was a little less intense.

My mom went to see a movie with a friend tonight, so I was alone with my sad little cone head dog, my fat old dog and a couple of movies that I rented. I love Hugh Dancy. Jim Sturgess looks like the world's best kisser and makes me weak in the knees. I didn't watch Across the Universe tonight, but there was a trailer for it at the beginning of The Jane Austen Book Club and I'm not going to lie, I nearly fell on the floor. I did however watch I Am Legend and liked it... alot.

Boyfriend Of The Week #4

Late 50's/Early 60's Paul NewmanBedroom eyes, classically handsome with a super abundance of sex appeal. Need I say more? Also he's colour blind. How endearing is that. Kudos to Joanne Woodward for locking that down. For being born good looking, starring in at least two of my favorite movies of all time and generally being my eye candy, this week's for you.

No Drunkeness For Me.

So, I had two shots last night and I wasn't really feeling it so I stopped drinking and just focused on hitting soccer balls with my mii head. It was SO much fun. Not to brag or anything, but I schooled at the soccer game. However, last night I learned that I shouldn't take up tightrope walking, unless I have a death wish... or a net underneath.

After we left Kayla's place a little after one we were feeling hungry, so we drove over to the McDonalds and had the best McDonalds ever! So fresh. McKenzie kept saying, "Crap, my chicken's too hot." We parked in the lot right beside McDonalds so we could chill out and eat our food. These two guys pulled up beside us and started to crank the rapping music. I was so hoping that they would play "Snapping Bagels" or "Snap Your Fingers". And then they did. Awesome.

Dropped everyone off and then went home. I was planning on reading when I got home, but I was bushed, so I just went to sleep.

Question: My dogs took off after a coyote the other day. Aimee seems to think that me saying "took off after" makes me a coyboy. Thoughts? I would say I'm the most country of all my friends, but I'm far from a cowboy.

Tonight's The Night.

Drinking the night away sounds like a reasonable Friday night event. Aimee and I just got back from the liquor store and we now are in the company of a shwack-load of booze.

Alcohol Aimee Just Purchased:
1 Ruby Red Absolut Vodka
1 Hot 100 (Cinammon Schnapps)
1 Pomtini for me (she spoils my unemployed ass)
1 Blue Bols

Excitement! So, the plan is hopefully that we go to Kayla's house and play some drunken Wii. Then we might go out, but I'm not really all about the going out tonight. A girls night in would be nice.

When we were in the liquor store we got a free shot of cosmopolitan, which I probably shouldn't have drank, but I did and it was really good.

Help Me, Help You.

I just got home from a really pleasant visit with my brother out in Gray. My mom and I went out for supper and then we sat out on the deck and chatted for a while afterwards. I went out on the quad with my brother and we found a fox den with the most adorable baby foxes ever!

Things We All Laughed About:
1. Once, we were watching Rescue 9-11 and this little boy phoned because he was baby-sitting his sister and he had somehow gotten his tongue stuck to the freezer.

2. When my mom got her tongue stuck to the boot scraper outside her school.

3. I once put a popsicle into my mouth and it stuck to my lips and my tongue. I couldn't get it off, so I had to wait for us to drive all the way home and put hot water on it.

4. During the winter of third grade we took swimming lessons with our class. I was waiting for the bus home from school and somehow my bikini must have slipped out of my backpack. The next morning I came to school to find its two frozen pieces on the boot rack. The teachers asked if they knew who's it was. I never claimed it.

I have a job interview on Monday and I really, really, really want to get the job. It's just a receptionist job, but I really, really, really want it. I so badly want any job that last night I was seriousely contemplating taking a Subway job just until I found something better. Please let me get this job!

Also, I'm really lame and still haven't finished reading The Amber Spyglass. I need to move my ass on that one. I was just too wrapped up in Project Runway last night. I know, I'm lame.

Television Watchings.

I watched Oprah today and now I have a tiny, little, minute, itsy bitsy, small, pocket-sized crush on someone REALLY embarrassing. That's all I will say.


... And it's not Reba McIntyre.

100 Books - Book #3

I don't know how much reading I'm going to get done today. I have to help my mom fix our fucking washing machine. To anyone who hasn't read these books, read them! They keep blowing my mind. I'm not usually in to this kind of stuff, but it's completely messing with my mind!

Book #3:
His Dark Materials - Book III
The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman

100 Books - Book #2

I finished The Golden Compass last night and it totally rocked. This is the kind of book that makes it okay to be called a nerd. I think Iorek Byrnison is what does it for me. I can't not love a bear dressed up in armour. Anyway, I went on the man hunt for the second book yesterday and started reading it immediately after I finished Golden Compass.

Book #2:
His Dark Materials - Book II
The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman
