Lil Wayne looks like he would steal your children.

People gettin' high, people gettin' low, people gettin no where cause they don't know where to go.

Back to the usual this week. Last week was nice. I worked Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.. that's it! So I thought I would have a pretty laid back weekend but I actually did stuff! Weird for me. Friday I did a BUNCH of running around and then kickity kicked it with McLyndsay for a bit and then Blair and I had a movie night... Oh what a movie night :)

So let me tell you what movies NEVER to rent.. Psycho Ward: Coolest cover ever. Worst movie ever. I was in the mood for a scary movie so I picked that one. It was the WORST movie ever made. No no I'm not talking like a cheesy B movie. It was beyond that. It was like a bunch of kids decided to make a scary movie but it didn't work out for them. Best thing about that movie was Dr. Magellin. Just because of his name. ...I know, that's how bad it was.

Next up was Year One. Now I will admit I may not have been awake for the whole thing but from what I seen it was pretty lame. It had a few funny lines and stuff but overall, I was asleep. Next movie night I'm leaving the movie choosing up to Blair. (That's your fair warning, Blair. Better start making a list.)

So that leads me to Saturday. I had 2 hockey games. Uhh. Well I guess I really only played one because our ref never showed up for the second one. Gee thanks for making me hustle my ass there and miss dinner with the team, all so we could play some shinny, REF. Gosh refs are lame.

Sunday Funday. That's what went down there. It consisted of cleaning Paco out, sweating it out at the gym followed by laundry. ...Like I said, Sunday Funday.

4:45am.

That's what time I wake up now. So I had this brilliant idea.. Hey, let's go to the gym before work instead of after work! Gym opens at 5:30 which means we're there! This morning was day 1. Here's how it goes.. Up at 4:45 leave at 5:05 pick Alyssa up and head to the gym for 5:30. ...5:30. Uh 5:30. Just saying 5:30 makes me tired.

Here's the thing though. It wasn't as bad as it sounds. We're there for an hour and it's all old people and they're all chipper and ready to take on the day. We get up to the machines and giver followed by some other gym type stuff. Then I go to work. It's actually pretty sweet. By the time we left we were wide awake and felt awesome! We were the people that say "Good morning" all happy and awake - and mean it. You know, the ones you want to punch in the face... I think it'll work good for us, as long as we don't get punched in the face.

PacoPacoPaco...

Feels like the end of an era for him and I. I sold him. I'm a horrible person, just throwing him out like he's nothing!

Okayyyyyyyy, it's a car. I'm over it. Poor Paco. But I'm happy to be getting my parking stall back! Oh boy that's going to be nice. I won't have to park on the street with all those hooligans running around our neighbourhood. ......Listen to me. I used to be one of those hooligans and I would never bust up someones car, that's a dick move and a half. But still, I'm shaky about parking out front every time! At least there are cameras in the parking lot.

Crazy hooligans.

So, I've got mac and cheese for lunch. Jealous?

Ludacris is one of my super favorites (if you didn't know). Here's his new song :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93CopJFD5_E

No L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G a-llowed.

"Dickshanary" -Lisa muthaf*ckin Ursel... my hero.

This just made my whole day. Lisa pretty much had her own language when she was younger. I have a shoebox full of notes from her, back when we had our "Pen Pal Club" in elementary, and it takes a specialized superhuman to make out what they say.

Oh yea, we totally had a Pen Pal Club. Lisa was the sole founder and CEO of it. She kept us all in line. There was Lisa, myself, Kelley Yee, and Jenny. Haha what a bunch. The reason I remember this is because on the notes I have at the bottom of everyone it said "P.S. Why don't you rite*(Lisa spelling) to Kelly and Jenny to?" Because I always only wrote to Lisa.


So I also have this other note in "The Box" it makes me laugh every time I think about it! Here is what it says. "Dear Amanda, I'm sorry I told Stephine you said she was a brownie. Can we still be friends? From Lisa. BFF" AHAHA So Stephanie was this girl that was the biggest baby EVER and she used to cry all the time and she may have not been exactly white.. Apparently I was a horrible little kid that called a black person a brownie :S I probably made her cry. And to top it all off, I guess I said it behind her back because Lisa told her I said it. I think I was a bully and Lisa was a sh*t disturber. ...Sounds about right for us.


Okay but wait, let me tell you about this Stephanie girl though! She told on me for EVERYTHING. And she cried like every time I talked to her! I don't think I was THAT mean to her! So this one time we were cleaning our desks in grade 5 and I had the bucket of water at my desk and stupid Stephanie sat by me so she was using it too. So she walked somewhere and as she was walking back she stepped right in the bucket (HA) and to top it off, it got stuck on her foot for a second! So naturally I laughed and even Mrs. Corrigal laughed!!! And Stephanie didn't see the humor. She instantly started crying and then ran to the bathroom (with her soaking wet foot ha ha) and she didn't come out for like and hour! What a baby, it was hilarious.

Detail challenged..

So, in light of recent events (Blair driving me to work this morning) it was brought to my attention that I did not go into enough detail in regards to my wicked awesome date last weekend! I would like to share with you all what went on this magical evening, better known as Saturday February 6, 2010.


Well it started out like any other evening, really. Except I was scrambling around my house trying to find something to wear. Throwing clothes on and off and back on again. Finally, I found it! As I finished getting dressed my door buzzer goes. I open the door and there was Blair, standing there looking all cute in his earlier mentioned slacks with blood running down his nose (he had a nose bleed, there was no domestic violence involved whatsoever). He was informing me that my chariot awaits.


Well the chariot had to wait about a half hour because he was there at 7:00 (on time.. a rather strange phenomenon) and we didn't have to be there until 8:00. At this point it was a surprise as to where he was taking me, all I knew is that we had to be there at 8:00 and that we were going to see Avitar afterwards. So the drive there was rather uneventful in comparison to the walk to the restaurant from our parking stall (18 blocks away). As we got closer to the doors a "residentially challenged" man (as he referred to himself) approached us. He wanted to know if he could "ask us an applicable question". I was totally fine with just walking on by but I think his large vocabulary wooed Blair into listening. His vernacular skills were quite impressive for a residentially challenged drunk-o.


After he slipped a few big words into his speech that did not quite make sense, Blair gave in. Then we carried on to the restaurant. Here is the main detail I left out earlier! We went to Von's. It was very impressive and delicious! So all in all, it was a wonderful night AND Blair smelt pretty good. I'm sorry for saying you smelt bad, okay.

Freckles Beckles Bo Beckles Banana Fanna Fo Feckles... Freckles.

So here's a little story.. Last night was clean sheet night. I love clean sheet night! So I took them out of the dryer and put them on my bed and threw my duvet on and oh goodness it just looked SO comfortable! So I got out of the bath and decided to paint the tosies. Freckles and I were sitting on my bed and she was just sitting and watching me, nothing out of the ordinary. And all of a sudden I look at her and she hadn't moved but she was staring at me all intense like. Then I realized it! She was peeing!!! B*TCH. She peed on my clean comfy looking bed that I had full intentions of laying in when I was finished!


I was NOT impressed! So I threw her into her kennel for the rest of her life and threw my duvet into the washer and went a laid on the couch angry and watched some lovely OC. Stupid dog. Here's a picture for you guys. Yea, I know she's cute. And she knows it too.

Okay, 3 days in a row? I spoil you guys sometimes. Here's a song... Rated R - proceed with caution. I don't know why I like this song.. it's pretty trashy.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUVyn9Q-lYE&feature=related And if you don't enjoy Dirty Mary, here is some less intense Crazy Mary.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ziGoJBLnRA

"I like you because you smile at me and mean it."

Working is... overrated.

I don't feel like work today. Therefor I will sit and babble on for a while right here! It's weird because before I became a government minion I was actually a very hard worker and I enjoyed it. These days, this is my hard work. It's very draining. I know, I sit at a desk all day on the computer. How could that possibly be draining? It's boring. It's not challenging. It's repetitive. It's very routine.

It's not for me!

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer. Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!

So lately (as in the last few months) I've been having some horrible dreams. Like nightmares, I guess. But not like scary monster nightmares or anything. Just really horrible dreams. I don't want to talk about what they are because I feel horrible for dreaming of these things, not that it's my fault but I wake up and feel SO guilty because I just played these stories out in my head. I'll wake up all tensed up in a ball on my bed and last night I woke up because Freckles was licking my face because I was crying.. Well I didn't know I was crying or anything and I woke up and was quite confused. I was sleep crying..? Weirdo.

Anyways, these dreams started out as just a little thing where I wouldn't wake up at all and they would just lead into another dream and I would forget about them. Then they got somewhat worse to where I would wake up for a minute and have to clear my head and could go back to sleep. Now I just wake up and sit there and then don't want to fall back asleep because I can't believe what I just dreamt.

I think when I get home today I'm going to whip out the dream books and take a gander. I love my dream books, I don't know why. Dreams fascinate me because there is always a relation to something in your life weather you know it or not. Seriously, take a look at a dream book and think about your last dream. It's weird how it comes together.

Okay, I'll start sounding cool again..

So yesterday I found this tin of change and I decided to roll it. Here's what I got... A bunch of pennies (I don't know how many, I just threw them into my penny jar), 9 dimes, 3 quarters and *drum roll* 120 nickles! What I would like to know is how the hell a person acquires 120 nickles? That is $6.00 in nickles. I think it's because nickles are like pennies these days.. useless and annoying. Nothing is 5 cents anymore. You can't even buy a "5 cent candy" for 5 cents because they tax it. They tax a 5 cent candy... Oh brother.

So here's what I did with my $7.65. I treated myself to some delicious McDonald's. Which turned out to be gross (who knew?!) and I wish I had saved that $7.65 for something better. Oh and I also drove across the street to McDonald's so I used some gas as well which will also cost me a few cents. HA I drove across the street with 120 nickles to McDonald's. Hello, my name is Broke, Lazy and soon to be obese and I live in the trailer park just down the way :)

Panic ridden.

So I just looked at my calender today and realized something. Our lease is up in July.. Holly panic batman. I don't want to move again. I have too much stuff. Maybe I'll throw it all out and take up drifting... Maybe we'll stay there for a while longer? Oh boy, who knows. But I feel like it's coming up so soon even though we are only half way through the lease. I think we'll move.. I'm sure Freckles will appreciate a bigger house. I got a small dog because I obviously didn't want a big dog in out tiny condo but even having Freckles in there I feel bad. But I think if I move into a bigger place I will instantly feel the need to find Freckles a much larger brother or sister so maybe that won't be a good idea yet.

Ahhhhh well, I must end this jibber jabber now. Here is my very favorite Kenny Chesney song :) Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aHbsbcbibw

Jimmy was... off the hook.

Today this one is dedicated to the complainer. No not Lisa this time! (Weird, I thought she was the only one who actually read this crap!) This one is for Blair.

So it's been a while! But I don't have much going on lately so I don't have much to talk about. I guess I better find something to talk about..

Ahhh who am I kidding, of coarse I have something to talk about!

I am that person.

So my mom got me some cherry Hershey kisses for Valentines Day! Oh my mom.. Yep, she still gets us chocolates for V-Day. She's also still the Easter Bunny as well as Santa :) I have the coolest mom ever, trust me. So anyways, why am I "that person"? Well today I brought the bag to work with me and put them in a dish on my desk to share with everyone! So I have officially turned into the candy desk girl. ...Okay, well to a point. I mean not very many people visit my desk anyways because it's out of the way but still, the candy is there in a dish for all to see. I will still probably eat most of it though.

O.C.D.ME.

Let's talk about some annoying stuff. (When I say "let's talk" I really mean I'm going to talk and your going to read). So, let's talk..

Here is something that mega bothers me - So at work, our bathroom has 3 stalls. Naturally, when you walk in and there is no one in there you walk to the last stall because the first stall is right beside the door and it's like your peeing in front of everyone. Now, just because the first stall sounds iffy, if you were to walk in and someone was already using the last stall which stall would you use? ...The first stall, no? Well of coarse you would! Why? Because the middle stall is right beside the other peeing person. It's just awkward if you go in the stall beside them and the first stall is perfectly fine.

HOWEVER there is still the odd person who will walk in while your in the last stall and go into the middle stall. Drives me bonkers. If I am in that last stall and someone walks in and sits beside me I always roll my eyes and hurry on up to get out of that situation. It's like when your on the bus/train and there are empty seats all around you but that one gross person with the stuffy nose and cough gets on and sits in the seat your in. WHY?! It's called space. And I am a stranger. I don't want to be your friend you gross leaky diseased person.

So something else that recently started bothering me.. The lady I sit beside at work. Well, technically there is a wall dividing us but that doesn't stop her. Every morning she peaks over and in her super old lady voice says "Good morning Amanda. How are you?" to which I reply "Fine. You?" (even tho I really don't care and I would rather not talk to you). And she says "Well I'm here.. ha ha.."

That doesn't sound too bad, right? Wrong. It is. It's the EXACT same speech every morning. I feel like the coyote and the sheep dog on Bugs Bunny. You know.. "Morning Sam" "Morning Ralph" and then it's on with their day. And once and a while I will be doing something and she will peak over and say "Whatcha doing?" Well lady, first, it's none of your business. Second, I'm on facebook, deal with it.

Okie Dokie, enough being angry.

So how about them Oilers... Bahahahahaha sorry, I just thought I'd be funny today. Don't you laugh when you see the name Oilers too?

I just wanted to throw that out there. I haven't had a chance to lately! Don't get me wrong, I'm not a bandwagon jumper. I can't be, I cheer for Toronto. I think you have to be prepared for a crap outcome when you choose that fate. Also, I will admit, I still cheer for the Oilers. But I'm by no means a die hard fan and I will gladly make fun of them when I get the opportunity. Always have, always will. But they will always be second on my list. Figure that one out.

So, you know what I've gotten used to and I don't much mind anymore? Having no TV at home! Let me explain. So when I had TV and nothing planned for the evening I would go home cook supper sit down turn it on and call it a night. Now I go home cook supper and find something that needs to be done! My life feels so much more productive these days. Even the days when I go home and switch on a movie or some OC I feel more productive than if I was to park it and watch TV because at least I can say I am not wasting my life watching TV. Ohhhh brother, I wish I had TV.

My weekend.

So I haven't written since January 26th. I guess ONE thing has happened since then that I can talk about! Avitarrrrrr!

Okay let me re-cap my weekend.. Friday: Well... nothing happened. Saturday: Went to the mom's for a bit and picked up those chocolates I mentioned earlier. Then proceeded to go on a wicked awesome date :) (I'm not just saying that because Blair is reading this. Actually Blair kind of smelt funny.. I didn't want to say anything tho because he wore nice slacks and looked cute. Yep.. slacks, I said it.) Nahhhh he smelt pretty decent. So we went for dinner and then to the movie. Sunday: Went for breakfast (at 2:00) with McLyndsay and then had a wicked hockey game where we kicked ass (of coarse).

So back to the movie. I'm one of them now... Everyone in the world should go see Avitar! Everyone, no exceptions. Those poor little wold vision children, I think someone should send out a DVD and a little TV and let them watch it too. (Okay, that was a little inappropriate but I'm standing by that statement!) Holly goodness, what a movie! Okay so I wasn't in a hurry to see it despite everyone in the world telling me to. I thought it would be pretty good and I would have been like oh okay that was pretty decent! But it was definitely better than decent! More like amazing! So, go watch it. Right now.

Well, I think I've caught up since I've last been around. Plus, I've actually been working lately so I don't have much time to sit and do nothing! So today I will leave you with some wicked awesome Alkaline Trio! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4K3ThV3M1Y OR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giRZRzgYFKc .. take you pick, or listen to both. They're pretty amazing either way.
