1. What is your occupation? Web design instructor, waitress/manager, freelance designer, crazy bitch. Oh wait, that last one isn't so much an occupation as a state of being.
2. What color is your swimming suit? My fat ass hasn't seen the inside of a swimming suit for a good many years. I'm thinking of getting one though. Maybe blue. Maybe black. Sky's the limit I guess.
3. What are you listening to right now? The news. Lilo making sleep attack noises. She's so damn cute.
4. What was the last thing you ate? McDonalds. It's been a really, really bad week.
5. Do you wish on stars? Always.
6. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Ordinarily I stick with the black with silver sparkles but this week I'm alternating between blood red and cold gray. It's a mood thing.
7. How is the weather right now? Fucking cold.
8. Last person you spoke to on the phone? I think that would be the momma.
9. Do you like the person who sent this to you? Yes, she's a good cousin. Very sarcastic. I like that about her.
10. How old are you today? 31. But 30 is the new 20. Or so I hear.
11. Favourite drink? Water, diet coke. Long Island Iced Tea. Mmm...
12. Favourite sport to watch? Dwarf tossing. Followed closely by gator wrasslin' and if that's not really a sport let me tell you my friend, it should be.
13. Have you ever dyed your hair? Nope. No way. I'm a natural beauty. What? You got something to say about it?! It's been a really bad week!
14. Do you wear contacts or glasses? I have glasses for the computer but the dog munched on them (just a little) and now they don't fit so well...
15. Pets? My crazy little crocodile baby, Lilo. She has wookie feet.
16. Favourite month? At this point I'll take any month but this one. Usually I'm pretty fond of October but I'm also partial to July.
17. Favourite food? Sushi. I love it.
18. What was the last movie you watched? The Weatherman. Sucked ass. Not in a good way. But I watched Waiting earlier and it was fantastic.
19. Favourite day of the year? Meh. They're all the pretty much the same aren't they?
20. What do you do to vent anger? Run. That's it. It's the only thing that works. I'm too demure to scream and throw stuff otherwise I'd do that. It sounds fun.
21. Fall or Spring? Fall. No, spring. No, fall. Crap. I can't choose. They're the best of the seasons. I also like summer.
22. Hugs or kisses? Both!
23. Cherry or Blueberry? I'm afraid you're going to have to be more specific. Fresh? Then blueberry. With yogurt. Yum! Pie filling? Cherry. Eaten straight from the can. Gee, why am I fat again? :-)
24. Do you want your friends to email you back? Always. But not this time because I'm just posting, not emailing.
25. Who is most likely to respond? Elvis. He's my bitch.
26. Who is least likely to respond? Um, that's a good question. I'll let you know.
27. Who do you live with? My super cute and chewy baby Lilo. Not that I chew on her. Because I don't. Who've you been talking to!?
28. When was the last time you cried? Couple of minutes ago...like I said, really bad week. Worst week ever maybe. No, not ever. But worst week for this decade for sure.
29. What is on the floor of your closet? Oh god. You so don't want to know. Pretty much every article of clothing I own. And a zillion bags. And maybe a shoe. It's been a rough couple of weeks as far as clothing selection goes.
30. Who is the friend you have had the longest? Oh, this is a bad question. I'm going to pass on this question on the grounds that it's making me cry again. No wait, I'm going to suck it up and answer. Tom. After that, Marla or Marya. I met them both the same year. They rock.
31. What did you do last night? Watched movies, ate ice cream, cried like the sissy that I am. I'm in a wallowing stage right now.
32. Favourite smell? I hate everything right now. But rain in the summer is nice. The air in October (I'm with you cousin!), indian cotton that's warm from the sun.
33. What inspires you most? People who love life and live it to the fullest.
34. What are you afraid of? Spiders. Losing the people I love. Being lied to by people I trust.
35. Plain, cheese or spicy hamburgers? Cheese! Ooo...and that 5 alarm something or other burger at Red Robin. So yummy!
36. Favourite car? Mine! Okay, still the VW Karmenghia.
37. Favourite dog breed? Lilo! She's of the stretchy wookie feet breed. I also love her fluffy puppy ears. She's the best. Bad breath though. Bordering on terrifying really.
38. Number of keys on your key ring? Um, should I know this? I'm going to say 6. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
39. How many years at your current job? Which one? About 1 year for the restaurant, 6 months at the college, and a long time for the freelancing.
40. Favourite day of the week? I'm with the cousin again on the Saturday thing. But not this week because this week I'm working for Saucy who's going to California. Bastard.
41. How many states have you lived in? I'm currently in a state of disbelief but I'm thinking of moving back to the state of denial. It's home.
42. How many cities have you lived in/name them? Oh god. Duncan, Campbell River, St.Paul, Lantzville, Nanaimo, Sayward, Quadra Island, Burnaby, Tokyo, and Calgary. Oh and Shin-Kamigawa. I think that's it. 11.
43. Who do you want to spend the rest of your life with? Johnny Depp and the doglet. But in a pinch I'd settle for Bill Murray. He's old but man, he makes me laugh.
44. Favourite alcoholic beverage? I'm into the Long Island Iced Teas at the moment thanks to the other cousin.
45. Do you exercise? Yep. Giant ass slowly shrinking. But not this week. Bad ice cream!
46. How many kids do you have? Kids?! Um, 4 but don't tell anybody. I've been keeping them in the shed.
47. What celebrity do you want be? That's a good question. I'm going to think about that one. Someone blonde and whorey. They seem to be popular. Kidding. Sort of.
48. If you were that celebrity would you be friends with you? No way. I'd be friends with Paris Hilton and only Paris Hilton. My dog could play with her dog while we shopped. We could train them to crap on demand. It would be great. I'm so kidding.

Another Stolen Post...
It's good that Tom has so much free time to find crazy stuff on the internet because it makes my posting life so much easier! :-) Hey, it's not wrong unless I don't acknowledge it right? Anyway, he found this, posted it on his blog, and it made me laugh. So here you go.
Crazy speed limit going bastards!
I love it!

Psycho Path
Here's a fun list of retarded street names. Apparently there was some contest somewhere that was sponsored by someone or something. What do you want from me? I'm tired. I just came back from a run and it was so cold that my throat is now raw and ouchy and my voice is ridiculous. I'm singing Janis Joplin to myself right now. Good times.
The complete top 10 list included:
10. Tater Peeler Road in Lebanon, Tenn.
9. The intersection of Count and Basie in Richmond, Va.
8. Shades of Death Road in Warren County, N.J.
7. Unexpected Road in Buena, N.J.
6. Bucket of Blood Street in Holbrook, Ariz.
5. The intersection of Clinton and Fidelity in Houston
4. The intersection of Lonesome and Hardup in Albany, Ga.
3. Farfrompoopen Road in Tennessee (the only road up to Constipation Ridge)
2. Divorce Court in Heather Highlands, Pa.
1. Psycho Path in Traverse City, Mich.

Oh the Babbling...
I've been doing a lot of thinking over the past couple of days (which is not really such a strange thing since I seem to over-analyze pretty much everything), and I've come to the conclusion that life is weird. How do you like that? At 31 that's how I sum things up. Life. Is. Weird. Profound isn't it? Marvel and the depth and nuances of meaning. Whatever. I've been trying to take an objective look at myself and my life and see what to keep, what to change and what to jettison entirely and it's odd. I guess I spend so much time wrapped up in the little everyday joys and traumas that I forget to look at the big picture. The big picture is so much better.
So anyway, here's what I've discovered. I've been thinking to myself everytime something happens that makes me feel icky or sad or whatever that I should've stayed in Japan for another year or two despite the Kohsuke debacle so that I could've saved up some money and maybe gotten myself a little further out from under this crushing monolith of debt that is my student loans. That would've been smart. And then I think that if I absolutely had to come back to Canada I should've gone with my first instinct and stayed with Marla and Adam in Surrey (shut up) until I found a design (or other) job and got back onto my feet. And never in a million years should I have come back to the island and isolated myself to the extent that I have. I mean Duncan? Seriously? Mind you, it was never meant to be for this long. The plan was to move to Victoria. Which, if you have to live on the island (don't get me wrong, I love the island...I just like the city too) is the place to be. And then there's my personal life. Let's just say I've made some extraordinarily bad judgement calls there and leave it at that.
But while I was sitting around mulling, sobbing quietly into Lilo's wookie fur (she totally has wookie fur! especially the feet) and watching bad romantic comedies (Just Like Heaven anyone?) I started to notice that for every crap decision I've made, something really good has come out of it as far as the big picture goes. Leaving Japan when I did led to me getting in touch with Doug which led to my design work at the college and the teaching thing which is what I had planned to do at some point but didn't have the means to pursue. So that's a big plus. It's also led to me applying to grad school much sooner than I had planned, which if I get into the program I want will be a very good thing. A saving my brain kind of thing. Because right now, I'm not so much with the intellect really. I'm becoming less and less s.m.r.t. everyday. It's troo man. :-) And staying in Duncan led to me living completely on my own, sans man or roommates for the first time ever and it's good. So good. A little lonely maybe but for the most part, great. Being in Duncan has also led to me taking up running which makes me feel so much better it's ridiculous. And while the extraordinarily bad judgement in the personal life department has led to a pretty big hit to the self-esteem (ouch, my feelers!), that hit has consequently led to a greater motivation to keep running and taking better care of myself and get back to being that strong funny woman I seem to remember I used to be. Didn't I? What do you think? I'm kidding. I've discovered that letting your guard down is good, but letting it down to the point that you forget that you can actually take care of yourself is not so good.
And what else? Well, I guess this whole situation for the last year and a bit has given me breathing room. It's forced me to just stop moving for a bit and face up to where I'm at and what I need to do to get to where I want to be. To actually sit down and make some decisions in my life rather than just reacting in a kneejerk fashion to whatever comes my way. And that's definitely a good thing. A scary thing, but good nonetheless.
I've also discovered that I like saurkraut (even if I can't spell it and still don't know how to make it) and brussels sprouts which makes me feel a lot more grown-up really. Don't know why. It just does. Which is good because it's a rare thing for a girl with an apartment full of toys, who is currently wearing pink, glittery skull and crossbones earrings to feel grown up in the slightest. :-) Yay me!

Happy Now
I found this online and it instantly cheered me up. Why? Dunno. Not really the point is it? :-) It just made me laugh.
Q. You're about to have a huge wedding when you get cold feet. What's your strategy for evading all obligations?
A. You never want to remain "just friends". I like to break it off in style. I'd go watch an Abrahams/Zucker brothers movie and bikemessenger my standard "So you've been dumped" relationship exit form & S.A.S.E.:
1. How was I?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
2. How were my carpet cleaning skills?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
3. Tell me something kinky that you would have done if I'd asked? (Don't say anal, because you already told me that).
________________
4. Did you know that I still masturbated while we were going out?
Yes SuspectedWithCause SuspectedWithoutCause No
5. (Re: question #4: A LOT!) Can I still be friends with your mom? I like her. Not in a creepy way.

EveryTime MostOfTheTime Sometimes Never
7. What are my three most endearing traits?
a)____________
b)____________
c)____________

a)____________
b)____________
c)____________
9. I don't like your friends. You might want to consider finding some new ones, especially __________ and that skank _____________. That's not really a question; I just thought I would put that out there.
10. I hope you get adult cooties. Again, not really a question.
Please return this form in the envelope attached. You can keep my: ___________, _____________, and ______________, but please return my __________, ____________, ____________, and ___________ by ___________ber ___th, 20__. If any of the previously mentioned items fit in the envelope, please include them.

More Info...
So I went out on a psuedo date last night. Not officially a date per se...but a drink. With a boy. Who was very nice but sadly, we seemed to have a lot more to say via email than in person and there was really no chemistry there. Which is sad. Because I am officially losing my mind to boredom and am counting the days until I can move away from Duncan. Literally. From today it's 170. At the least. It's not that I hate Duncan, because oddly enough, I don't. It's just that there's not much for me here. I work too much to really get out and meet people and since I'm out all day I don't really feel good about leaving Lilo alone anymore than I have to outside of work. Because that's just not right. Lilo needs love too. I really should've moved to Victoria when it was more feasible. When I could've signed a year long lease. But now with the impending grad school uncertainty I can't make that kind of commitment so I'm stuck. Grrr. But my plan is to get another job serving somewhere in Duncan in the evenings for the spring ad summer so at least there'll be that. If I can't have a life I might as well have some more money right? And who knows, maybe I'll find a job somewhere cool and find some people to hang around with as well. Wait a minute, now that I'm thinking about it I could possibly move sooner than the middle of August. But it would be a mixed blessing because the only way I can move sooner than August is if I get rejected by SFU and then I might as well move to Victoria. I'd really rather be accepted by SFU and stick it out until August though. That would be my first choice. Anyway, I'm off to the laundromat. That's my big excitement on my day off. Woo hoo. No wonder I'm bored out of my mind. I'm obviously going to have to find something else to do pretty damn soon. Again with the grrrr.

I Am Bummed
But I have a shiny new iMac so that's pretty good for consolation purposes. I'll post more later. I'm just too bummed. And tired. Soooo tired.
It's Snowing!
I can't believe it's snowing! I'm torn between being bummed out because I want sunshine and stoked because it's snowing!!! Crap. Now I feel all Christmasy. Grrrr. :-)

This is My Life. Gripping Isn't It?
1. Favorite Season: Spring. Or maybe summer. But definitely not winter. My toes are so cold.
2. Name of your First love: Hmmm...should I count my grade 7 boyfriend? Or the one I went on my first date with in grade 5 (or 6) who brought me one of his little sister's my little ponys as a gift. That was cool. This is a very deep question and I don't think that I'm emotionally up to the task today. I'm going to with Indiana Jones. I've loved him for about as long as I can remember. Or Optimus Prime. Yes, it is possible to be in love with a cartoon truck. I'm not the only one...
3. Name of your best friend: The Senor. Or Marla. Or Beerbah. I'm undecided. I can have more than one can't I?
4. Age you lost virginity: 15
5. Age you got married: 28
6. Age you had first kid: Um, nope.
7. Best year of your life so far: 2007. I'm an optimist.
8. Waffles or Pancakes? Pancakes baby. Dutch ones. Mmm...pannekoeken...
9. Where did you go on your last vacation? San Francisco! Woo hoo! Kelso! I love Kelso.
10. Would you ever get plastic surgery? Yes. Maybe. Who am I kidding? Definitely. Bring on the cat face!
11. How long is your hair? Chin length-ish.
12. Do you have bangs? Yes. I grew them out but now they're back because my hairdresser is a bully. But a correct bully with mad skills. Yo.
13. Favorite fruit: Strawberries. Or raspberries. Are berries considered fruits? If not, bananas! Or kiwis. The fruit, not the people. My favourite people fruit would have to be Saucy.
14. What is the last concert that you went to see? I'm so old I don't remember. No wait, U2 with the cousin.
15. Favorite flower: Big fat gerber daisies. They're the happiest flower. Hands down. Oh shit, I forgot about sunflowers. Maybe they're the best. Or snapdragons. Snapdragons are cool. I just like flowers a whole lot in general. I'm going to go with my favourite flower being whatever flower someone gives me. I love getting flowers. Even if I have to get them for myself.
16. Favorite Holiday: Halloween I think. Although in recent years I've been lacking in the costume-y festivities department. It's just a fun day. No emotional boobytraps (I said booby) or pitfalls. It doesn't suck to be single or dysfunctional, and now that I'm really thinking about it I realise that being dysfunctional may actually be to your advantage on Halloween which makes me love it all the more.
17. What did you have for dinner last night? Crap. Tortilla chips and dip. And then some strawberries with chocolate pudding. Didn't really plan for dinner. What can I say? I'm a fly by the seat of my pants kind of girl.
18. Why do you answer these corny surveys? Because I am very lame and sadly enough have nothing better to do with my time.
2. Name of your First love: Hmmm...should I count my grade 7 boyfriend? Or the one I went on my first date with in grade 5 (or 6) who brought me one of his little sister's my little ponys as a gift.

12. Do you have bangs? Yes. I grew them out but now they're back because my hairdresser is a bully. But a correct bully with mad skills. Yo.
13. Favorite fruit: Strawberries. Or raspberries. Are berries considered fruits? If not, bananas! Or kiwis. The fruit, not the people. My favourite people fruit would have to be Saucy.
14. What is the last concert that you went to see? I'm so old I don't remember. No wait, U2 with the cousin.
15. Favorite flower: Big fat gerber daisies. They're the happiest flower. Hands down. Oh shit, I forgot about sunflowers. Maybe they're the best. Or snapdragons. Snapdragons are cool. I just like flowers a whole lot in general. I'm going to go with my favourite flower being whatever flower someone gives me. I love getting flowers. Even if I have to get them for myself.
16. Favorite Holiday: Halloween I think. Although in recent years I've been lacking in the costume-y festivities department. It's just a fun day. No emotional boobytraps (I said booby) or pitfalls. It doesn't suck to be single or dysfunctional, and now that I'm really thinking about it I realise that being dysfunctional may actually be to your advantage on Halloween which makes me love it all the more.
17. What did you have for dinner last night? Crap. Tortilla chips and dip. And then some strawberries with chocolate pudding. Didn't really plan for dinner. What can I say? I'm a fly by the seat of my pants kind of girl.
18. Why do you answer these corny surveys? Because I am very lame and sadly enough have nothing better to do with my time.

Fucking Crappy Cell Phone!
I hate my stupid fucking cell phone! Of course I also love my stupid fucking cell phone at the same time which makes it much like the men in my life. Not that I actually have any at the moment. Now I'm just being a jerk. But anyway, let's focus here. Stop distracting me! My cell phone sucks serious ass. It's a little ass-sucking crap phone whose only saving virtue is that it takes cute little pictures of pretty much whatever I point it at which I can then send all over the place thereby making me feel all warm with the glow of sharing. But as of Friday night it stopped taking cute little pictures of anything and now only seems capable of it's phoning and texting duties which really aren't all that exciting to me at the moment. Dammit. It's not like my phone is currently ringing off the hook with people luring me out of my nesty place with offers of fame, fortune and excitment (however it did deliver me an offer of a trivia-filled afternoon tea and dinner at the whitespot today that I'm pretty stoked about). So yeah. My phone blows. Like a $5 floozie. Or that bitch who tried to pick a fight with me at the bar the other night. Oh wait, that's pretty much the same thing. Tee hee. And I'm spent.

Good News!
It's not an acceptance letter to the grad school of my choice, but it's pretty damn good nonetheless! I found out today that provided I'm accepted into a grad school program for the fall I will definitely be able to continue my teaching job at the college! I don't have to reapply or anything. They can just appoint me for the position! Yay! I'm so excited! It's sad that I'm this excited about it really but whatever. It's nice to get some good news. :-)

Chaps for the Whole Family!
As some of you might know, I am recently incapable of not doing something else while watching tv. If I try to just watch tv I tend to fall asleep. This may be some strange new form of narcalepsy. But I'm not sure. In any case it makes for some interesting interpretations of what's going on. Just now I was sitting on my couch with the doglet and my laptop just looking around while watching/listening to While You Were Out. And suddenly I heard "We're introducing chaps for her, and chaps for boys!" Sweet! It's about we ladies had our own chaps! Sadly, when I actually looked up I found that it wasn't the fun chaps that we all know and love. No, it was the yuppie brand Chaps in which khaki pants and plaid cotton shirts feature prominently. It was quite the disappointment.

OMG! I Love This Guy!
It's true. I love this guy! I'm feeling like maybe I need to find him and make him the father of my children so I can have all sorts of sproiny babies. You'll see.
Meow. Meow meow. Meeeeeeeeeeeoooooooow!
So my Valentine's Day wasn't an entire write off...evidently I'm still not a girl who inspires men to send flowers or gifts or even a semi-squishy e-card but Saucy and I got together this afternoon for hours of non-stop, horror movie watching hilarity and it was good. All decapitation all the time baby. Except for the immolation and the odd impaling. Not to mention the drownings and the splat. Splat!! Our first installment of fun came in the form of the super fabulous Final Destination 2! Woo hoo! Bring on the gimp! That had nothing to do with either my night or the movie. I just like saying it. Bring on the gimp! So anyway, we hung out for awhile at his place partaking in the deathy goodness and then we headed out for a super fantastico dinner of pulled chicken at...somewhere I can't remember the name of and couldn't get into because apparently every damn kissy-face, bitch-ass couple in the greater Victoria area got there first, leaving us both chickenless and seatless. It was sad. So then we decided to slum it at stupid Kelsey's only to find the same damn couples hoarding tables there as well. How did they get there from the other place so quickly! Does love now make you able to teleport? Bastards. So we decided that we didn't want to go there anyway, thank you very much. We decided that obviously we were meant for bigger and better things. Like A&W in the mall. That's right baby. Bring on the watered down root beer and waxy ice cream float! Just so you know, the A&W in Tillicum Mall is the best A&W ANYWHERE. And by best I mean the absolute worst. It was craptastic. We laughed so hard the whole time that my watered down rootbeer almost came out my nose. Nothing says Valentine's Day like carbonated nose water. From there we wandered through the always lovely San Francisco store, trying on hats and admiring objects d'art. And then...(and THEN!!!???) the dollar store. Oh yeah. Full of it's dollary goodness. Good times were had. But that's nothing compared to the sweet, sweet pre-movie air hockey tournament. If only scoring points on yourself counted. I'd be the champ. And then there were games with guns!! We hunted. It was sweet. I tried to shoot him in the ass ala Dick Cheney (you can call me dick if you want to) but in vain. Then we killed zombies. Even more fun. Then we were out of tokens. Not nearly as much fun as you might think. So we went to our theatre to stake out seats and mock the asthetically challenged and we scored the BEST seats ever! No sarcasm. Dead centre of the row in the upper third of the theatre. My absolute favourite spot. Unless of course I'm in the mood for making out. Then it's straight for the back baby. :-) And holy crap. It was a retarded movie if ever I've seen one but it scared the crap out of me! And the best part about it was that it was scary in that things jumping out at you so you freak out for a second but don't carry it with you for the rest of the week kind of way which was just what I needed. No nightmares for me thanks! But also no more rollercoasters. I'm not even going to explain that one. 'Night!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Still hating Valentine's Day. Nothing says "ha ha nobody loves you" like a whole day dedicated to love. Just once I'd like to be one of those girls who actually get flowers sent to them on Valentine's Day. Or any other day for that matter. Make with the flowers people! Bah. I'm officially boycotting Valentine's Day and if anybody wishes me a Happy Valentine's Day from now on I'm going to kick them in the junk. Or not. Because if they say it with flowers or little prezzies I'll be all happy and no longer in the kicking mood. :-) I'm so easily swayed. Anyway, I'm off to do restaurant banking now. Woo hoo! Happy Fucking Valentine's Day to me. Thhhhhhbbbbbt! That's the sound of me sticking my tongue out and blowing raspberries (and not the yummy kind) at this whole damn holiday! I'm going to go kick some puppies now. Good thing I've got one nearby. Okay bye!
I Hate Valentine's Day
That's really all I had to say. Well, and grrr. But that's definitely it. :-)

Maybe From There We Can Marry Ourselves
Okay, I know it's bad karma to mock but there are no names here and nothing specific to embarrass anyone so I'm just going to go ahead and mock away. Feel free to mock me behind my back as well. Just not to my face. I'm a delicate flower. And I'd have to kick your ass. Tee hee.
So anyway, this is a message some guy just sent me on a different blogging site...
"Subject: Important Message
Hello, i wish u to be part of my life or to be my loving friend may be in the future when we get to know ecah other very well from there we can marry ourselves.
u can also let me have ur ID therefore we can chart on messager this my ID..."
I'm thinking someone's looking to immigrate. But seriously, maybe from there we can marry ourselves. I mean why not?
Why don't any normal-ish, english speaking men send me messages? Hmmm? Why? Don't answer that! :-)

Belt Buckle o' Love
This needs no explanation. I laughed until I peed. But just a little.
* Okay, I've decided that this does need a bit of an explantion after all. It's a belt buckle found in Tokyo by the fabulous Moody. There you go.

Why Do I Love Jon Stewart?
"We don't torture, we freedom tickle." And that's why I love Jon Stewart.
Ahhh...Saturday
All week long I've been looking forward to today. I don't teach today, I don't waitress, I have no pressing design work, no grad school applications to which I feel compelled to apply my dazzle (I have dazzle, I swear - I apply it with my own personal personality bedazzler, as seen on tv), no pressing business whatsoever. I even slept in until almost 8! It was grand. But now...now I'm bored. And it's raining. And not a light misty rain that you can put on a couple of layers and ignore. No, no. It's RAINing. Which means if I go for a run I'll be drenched and icky feeling within minutes. And the doglet won't walk because the princess doesn't like wet paws and a wet belly (who does? now that I think about it). And the cable guy isn't coming until after 2. Grrr. Oh yeah, now that I'm super single and living the fabulous life here in Duncan for at least 6 more months I've decided to cave on the cable thing. I made it this long without but now we're deep into the rainy season and I need a distraction. I just can't keep watching my dvd tv over and over. Well I could, but that way madness lies. I've already rearranged the furniture (that was awhile ago really but there are only so many possibilities within this space unless of course I were to buy a new piece of furniture to mix things up a little but again, I live in Duncan and plan on moving elsewhere to a much smaller place in the not so distant future so what would be the point?). What to do? What to do? There's a painting on my easel that's left me stymied that I suppose I could attend to but I'm just not feeling the love. I could definitely do some cleaning but I'm in one of those moods where surface cleaning just wouldn't be satisfying. I'd have to pack boxes with things I no longer need or want and that could take all day. And I have an appointment at one. Getting the hair cut. It's a big day really. A haircut and cable. Yowza. So I guess for now I'll sit here on my sofa wearing my happy yellow flannel tigger pjs and my comfy sleeping hoody (yes, I have hoodies for all occasions) and my doglet snoozing beside me (she's so cute I could just squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze her! and call her George) and stare out at the rain. I have a lot of windows. Which is sometimes a mixed blessing. Maybe I'll make a sandwich and go for a run anyway. It sucks while you're out there but there's nothing better than coming home wet and cold to the bones and hopping into a nice hot shower. Well, I'm sure there are a few things that are better but now that I'm super single I've got to focus on what I've got. ;-)

Any Suggestions?
It's Friday night. And where am I? At home. On my sofa. Watching dvd tv and eating a veggie burger. Listening to my horrible, horrible neighbours sing karaoke. Again. Badly. Very, very badly. I think this may be a low point. Tomorrow I'm getting a haircut. Maybe that'll help. :-)
I Stole This Post From Tom's Blog - It Was THAT Funny.
Why can’t I buy a Canadian?
Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a radio personality who dispenses advice to people who call in to her radio show. Recently, she said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following is an open letter to Dr. Laura penned by a east coast resident, which was posted on the Internet. It’s funny, as well as informative:
Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other specific laws and how to follow them:
When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15:19- 24. The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can’t I own Canadians?
I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?
A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don’t agree. Can you settle this?
Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?
Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? - Lev.24:10-16. Couldn’t we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and unchanging.
Your devoted fan,
Jim

The Breaker of Spirits
That's me. Or maybe the Crusher of Souls. It's a tough call. Today's class seemed to be a lot more productive than yesterdays. And this is a very good thing. Because yesterday my assignment actually made one woman cry. If I'd been trying for that I'd be quite proud but I just wasn't. Dammit anyway. But no one was waiting outside with sticks or flaming bags of shit or anything so I guess it's all good. Woo hoo! And tonight I have ultra-exciting plans! Oh yeah baby. I've got a date! The only problem is that it's with my doglet. And my tv. It's a threesome kind of thing. Maybe even a foursome if you count my couch! Yeow! I do love the single life! ;-)

Oh God. Kill Me Now.
I take back everything I said in my super happy post yesterday. I'm afraid to leave the building because I'm pretty sure my students are waiting for me outside with large sticks with which to club me like a baby seal. I feel as though my head may explode from the overwhelming confusedness that was today's class so I can only imagine how much my students are not loving it. Crap. My eye is twitching.

Oh the Waiting...
So I just went online to check my application status for SFU (I've managed to cut back from my peak checking of about 10 times a day to once every couple of days so I'm stoked) and while it finally says that they've received all of my necessary documents (they were waiting for a reference from Halifax) there is still no news. Which I suppose is good news (as they say - and who is this they anyway? because they seem to be spouting an awful lot of crap). I'm so...grrr! Waitingwaitingwaitingwaitingwaiting! Not my thing clearly. But my friend Marla says that they're supposed to let you know by April 1st so that you can reply by the 15th. Which means that they'd have to call me to request an interview or portfolio review before then. Right? I'm employing sound logic here am I not? Logic not being my strong suit I like to double check. :-) Okay, I have some lesson planning to do. Because I'm a teacher. Tee hee.
Good Things
I just wanted to say that today was my second day of teaching in an actual classroom (for those of you who don't know, which I think is actually most of you, I was offered a contract to teach an intro to web design class for the next 3 weeks) and I'm just really, really excited. I was so nervous yesterday that I almost didn't make into the building. I sat in my car for a good 10 minutes trying to think up an excuse not to go in that wouldn't make me look like a total ass in front of the people who got me the contract and the only reason I got out of my car was because I couldn't think of anything. So much for my creativity! I've been convinced that being a teacher is the right thing for me to do for so long now that I guess I was just afraid to just do it already because what if I did it and I was terrible? Or my students hated me? I was afraid to be wrong about what I've decided to do with my life because right now that's the one area that really seems to be heading in a positive direction. But I love it! And I think I'm good at it. And so far no one seems to hate me at all! It's great.
Crazy Survey From Beerbah What Made My Head Explode
TEN Random Things You May Not Know About Me:
1. I can spell almost anything backwards (unless I can't spell it forwards).
2. I constantly play little number games in my head (with letters too).
3. I hate the number 5. It creeps me out.
4. I love to cook but I never do.
5. I can carry on a conversation in Japanese for about 5 minutes. This extends to about 5 hours if there's beer. And my english/japanese dictionary.
6. I always wanted to be a lawyer. I think I just like suits.
7. I used to be a clown. Professionally. Shut up.
8. I can't yell. Don't know why. Just can't bring myself to do it. I've tried. Except at concerts for some reason. I'm a freak.
9. I would trade just about any talent I have if only I could sing.
10. Knitting makes me nauseous. I've always wanted to be able to do it and when I was in Halifax my roommate taught me how but it actually makes me physically ill doing it. It's like car sickness. But yarn sickness. It's weird.
NINE Places I've Visited:
1. Tokyo
2. San Francisco
3. Los Angeles
4. Seattle

9. PEI
EIGHT Ways to Win My Heart:
1. Make me laugh so hard that it hurts.
2. Remember the little things, like how I like my tea or my favourite colour.
3. Be sweet. Holding doors, walking on the outside of the sidewalk, holding my hand.
4. Kisses. And lots of 'em. For no reason at all.

2. Live in a foreign country again (Mexico, Paris, Ireland, Tokyo, England, Italy, etc).
3. Have kids.
4. Learn to surf (which would require that I hone the old swimming skills as well) or fight. Or both. How about surf fighting? Couldn't you just see me out on the water doing karate kicks on my surfboard? You're picturing me falling off my board mid-kick aren't you? Up yours.
5. See Paris.
6. Own my own little house with an art studio.
7. Write a book. A book that gets published and people actually read and maybe gets some awards or something. That would be great.
SIX Things I'm Afraid Of:
1. Rejection
2. Spiders
3. Being stung by bees (I'm allergic! I swell!)
4. Ending up lonely (not alone, they're too different things I think)

3. Liars
4. Plucking
5. Dentists
FOUR Ways to Turn Me Off:
1. I'm going to stick with Virve's answer here. Talking
down to me. Or to anyone.
2. Lies.
3. Bad breath.
4. Unwillingness to take chances and try new things.
THREE Things I Do Every Day:
1. Get a large steeped tea with 3 sugars and 1 milk from
Tim Hortons. The drive thru guy knows me by my order now
and teases me through the order box thingy. He thinks he's
sooo funny.
2. Snuggle my squishy doglet. She's just sweet. We also play
tag.
3. Obsess. Doesn't matter what about. Today it's my new
teaching job. Yesterday it was grad school. Tomorrow it
may well be aliens sucking out my brain. Could be anything
really. I'm an equal opportunity obsessor. Is that even a word?
TWO Things that Make Me Happy:
1. My little wiggly doglet who is always happy to see me when
I come home and smells like corn chips when she's sleepy.
2. Sunshine after days and days and days of rain.
ONE Thing On My Mind Right Now:
1. Running. I'm waiting for a sunny patch in which I can run without getting completely drenched. This is of course something I do to clear my head of all the other things that are on my mind right now. Yep. Obsessing. Not only am I an equal opportunity obsessor, I'm also a mutli-tasking obsessor.
1. I can spell almost anything backwards (unless I can't spell it forwards).

4. Plucking
5. Dentists
FOUR Ways to Turn Me Off:
1. I'm going to stick with Virve's answer here. Talking
down to me. Or to anyone.
2. Lies.
3. Bad breath.
4. Unwillingness to take chances and try new things.
THREE Things I Do Every Day:
1. Get a large steeped tea with 3 sugars and 1 milk from
Tim Hortons. The drive thru guy knows me by my order now
and teases me through the order box thingy. He thinks he's
sooo funny.
2. Snuggle my squishy doglet. She's just sweet. We also play
tag.
3. Obsess. Doesn't matter what about. Today it's my new
teaching job. Yesterday it was grad school. Tomorrow it
may well be aliens sucking out my brain. Could be anything
really. I'm an equal opportunity obsessor. Is that even a word?
TWO Things that Make Me Happy:
1. My little wiggly doglet who is always happy to see me when
I come home and smells like corn chips when she's sleepy.
2. Sunshine after days and days and days of rain.
ONE Thing On My Mind Right Now:
1. Running. I'm waiting for a sunny patch in which I can run without getting completely drenched. This is of course something I do to clear my head of all the other things that are on my mind right now. Yep. Obsessing. Not only am I an equal opportunity obsessor, I'm also a mutli-tasking obsessor.
