Genevieve's Place

the long-winded story
Holly, you were right...this will show up in my blog. Sooner than you expected really, but I don't have any time tomorrow, plus I might forget details.

Prologue: Crazy awesome day. Starts off with baptisms at MB Church, (Devin and Eva, plus five other baptisms, and 16 transfers). That took til 1 PM, and it was a totally awesome service. Then we were off to Lindsay's for lunch, which was really really good. Lindsay had also gotten baptized that morning at Grace. If only we could have been at two places at once. Then we were off to Devin's for dessert. Cheesecakes, cookies, trifle, coffee, most of my favourite things..yum. We hung out there until Jamie ushered us all to her house for supper, before her baptism. So that was awesome as well. We watched Finding Nemo until the Turtle part and then we had to go. Her baptism was also good, two other baptisms, and a transfer, so relatively short. We all got to meet her new boyfriend of course, and she was just beaming. The baptisms I went to today seemed different from ones in the past. I'm not quite sure why. Maybe they were more emotional or something, can't really put my finger on it.

Anyway, to the REAL story. After the baptism, we still wanted to do stuff, so the plan was for Holly to come over, and of course for Eric to come to. But being the nice guy he is....he told other people who we maybe, just maybe didn't want to come. Poor Eric felt bad about it. Being that even if he did come he wouldn't have stayed very long. So anyway, we were ALL sitting in my basement 'thinking' of stuff to do. (me n holly were 'plotting'...no Eric, not in the death-for-you way). So we decided to go out for coffee. First Holly and I were just going to go outside. Then when they wouldn't leave, we got in her car. Then when they wouldn't leave, we made a dash for it. She didn't stop at like any stop signs, and just cruised up to 100 kmh on 32, before pulling a crazy turn onto Pembina which would have killed us if it would've been more icy, and then a crazy turn onto Scotia Dr, which would have killed a car had it been more icy. We pulled up in front of Eric's house, got out, and ran for the path and hid behind some trees. We were pretty confident they hadn't seen us (Holly turning off her lights and making us invisible and all). But sure enough in 10 seconds there they were cruising down Scotia. Good thing they don't know what Holly's car looks like. Hehehe. Then we see Eric come home (he had gone to Tempo to pick up some Egg Nog and home). We run to meet him when he gets out of his car and we go inside his house to hide, which is pretty much futile in case they came, but they didn't, and we checked out his room, and then we left.

Epilogue: Then we came to my house and we did the original plans...to just hang out and talk. Yes, that's all we did. We did all of that dramatic stuff, just to sit around and talk. I know. I know.

Today started off really really awesome, what with people actually liking my brownies and Chris asking for the recipe. I know I know, I'm going to grow up to be one of those people who need constant affirmation. I like to be liked...who doesn't? THEN, my boss calls me and asks about something about the dress code. I say I've got no problem with it and I never had. She tells me the store manager says that he told me four times about it. Um, turns out he's a pathological liar, and we all know it. I was SO PISSED OFF. I could barely compose myself to finish the customer service I was in the middle of. I was so angry, thinking of how he would never ever ever get in trouble for lying (which he does often, just ask ALL the supervisors). I was just like, "Jen, Revelation, Revelation" That made me feel a lot better. Heh. By the end of the day I got over it. But it just SUCKS. I should call my union rep, yeah that'd be fun...MUHAHAHHAHAA.

All in all, it was a pretty good day actually for being crazy busy that I couldn't even stop to think, and for my boss being there constantly. gooooooooood times.

Baby, It's Cold Outside
Today is Saturday, or at least it became Saturday just a little while ago. I should go to bed because I have to work ALL day tomorrow, but I should be used to working all day on Saturdays. But I have to work alone with my boss until Lisa comes in at THREE! Which isn't so bad, I'm actually quite glad she's back...this way, two of us get Saturday off!! Next week's my turn! w00t!

So I took a naughty little spoonful of my cake that I baked on Thursday (just so I know that no one will die of yuckyness tomorrow, oh and we kinda ran out of forks) It tastes great! Woo hoo! I can't wait to start baking real cheesecakes for my party! Speaking of which, I downloaded some Dean Martin songs today, while searching for the songs they play at Old Navy (awesome music!) I knew I should've bought that CD last time!!!!! Anywho, I got those songs for my party, to play in the background. I love old music like that. I abhor 'oldies' and the like, but I LOVE old music like Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, etc. Stuff you'd never hear unless you intended to nowadays. Anyway, I must be off to sleep, or it'll come get me!

Anyway, I just baked some cheesecake, well, it's not really cheesecake persay, but it's close enough, and you'll never have any, anyway. Except for Holly. It's for my cashiers. So, am I a domestic now? Close enough? I've been surfing today like crazy looking for recipes for cheesecake. So for the christmas party how does Bailey's Chocolate Cheesecake sound? Or Amaretto Chocolate Cheesecake? Could I be drooling already? But first, someone needs to buy me a springform pan...

I'm sovery tired. And sovery bored. Mmm, speaking of Never Been Kissed. I have that movie, or had it. So if you have my movie, I'd really appreciate getting it back. Thanks.

Anywho, I just got off of a very very short shift of work that seemed to last FOREVER. Only four hours, but seemingly seven. Marcia was working though, so that made it awesome. Plus I was kind of out of it. I don't know why. Maybe I'm getting sick (I really don't think so).

The snow makes me feel like Christmas (yes, I know how that sounds). People are buying Christmas presents. I wish I had more people to buy for, and more money of course. Who's life doesn't revolve around money?

So next Saturday, us cashiers are going glow bowling! Yay! There's a sign up by the schedules, and it proudly proclaims to the whole store that I AM SINGLE. Isn't that fun? I have tomorrow off. Call me!

Wedding Bells?
Funny story: Today at work, I was just standing at CS, doing what I usually do (trying to look busy), when this lady who was walking by poked me in the shoulder and said something in Low German. She looked pretty happy, so I grinned and said,"I have no idea what you just said". So she says, "Are you looking forward to your wedding?", still grinning, I say,"No...", She says,"no?"...I say..."okay, sure." She tells me my mom is excited. Yeah, I'd bet she would be. My face was so red after that. I haven't been that embarrased since that lady asked me when I was due the first Christmas I worked there (I was 16!). I was so embarrased about this, now whenever she sees me, if she says anything, I'm going to have to tell her! I hate embarrasing people!! I should have said something at the time. Rose said I should've told her I dumped him cause he was a jerk (whoever he was supposed to be). I figure she wasn't talking about my sister, because she's been married for two months now. I should have said we called off the wedding and were going to shack up.heheheh.

On the other side of Mel T's story about people not putting dividers between their groceries, I mostly hate it when people do. Not when it's busy and there are a lot of groceries, but when you have one customer at a time, and there are no groceries on the belt and you're just done with someone's, and they put one on the belt. Wow, everyone thinks cashiers are stupid. If we were guys, no one would treat us the way they do. Grrrr....

Today was awesome fun. Me 'n Holly went to the city on a particular errand which we completed. (I can't wait for Christmas!!), then we went to the mall and I bought myself some Christmas presents. (that's the way it's going to work this year, I guess). There's always my wish lists (hint,hint). So, we ate supper at the food court at Polo Park and then we went to see a movie at Silver City.

We saw Runaway Jury, which is an awesome movie. Why did nobody tell me that that movie is absolutely perfect? Probably because no one loves John Cusak as much as me. I'm also quite the fan of Rachel Weisz. Anyway, everyone should see this movie! It proves that a movie can be great without a plot revolving around sex or gratuitous violence. Of course the movie did contain violence, but that was what it was against. Anywho, that's all for now.

Here I sit alone on Saturday night. It could be worse I know. It's okay that Gina couldn't do anything tonight. Really it is. I'm just sitting at home drinking diet Pepsi, and eating Pillsbury crescents (holy cow are they good). Anyway, I figured it was 'bout time to write again. Not that anyone comes here anyway. But that's okay, it just means I can say what I want :P.

Today at work, three TVs were blaring the same DVD for all eight and a half hours that I was there. There wasn't the option of turning it down. Which sucked. But it was playing Christmas songs, which was good. I'm still not at all in the Christmas spirit. I think maybe snow would help. And actually getting out once in a while. Might help. Yup.

Yes, I went back to Gray Daisy and all that it had before, including the tag board. Oh well, no one ever comes here anyway (goodthinggoodthing). I hope y'all are having a better weekend than I.

Laters, maybe.

So it turns out there's probably nothing to get overly excited about, in terms of car-wise. It needs a fifteen dollar part, and there's still a hole in the radiator (which we knew all along) we'll get the part but we won't fix the rad. The car will last me til August (hopefully), and then I'll be stuck in the city unless my parents feel like picking me up to see me for a weekend or so. I was kind of getting excited for getting a new car, but not getting excited for having a loan and no money. So I will go on as I have before...careless with money.

Isn't it exciting that Winnipeg is getting the Juno's? Or that's the story so far. I am totally going. woot!

you don't want to know the real name for my car
I just had the most frustrating/interesting experiences with my car today. I just got back from standing for 2 and 1/2 hours in the mall parking lot, and I smell of gas. Yummy. My car's been acting weird lately, but I thought it was cuz I was getting low on gas, but if I'd leave it alone for awhile, it would always start. But today after I went to the gym, it just wouldn't start. So I walked home, which was good, because I only spend 20 minutes at the gym because the Trainex people came, they make me uncomfortable. Anywho, when my dad came home, after we had eaten supper, we went back to Core. It started fine. First I went to fill in gas from Wholesale Gas Bar. Then I went to the mall to have my watch made smaller (which I did! woohoo!). As I was pulling into my parking spot, my car stalled, and I had to try really had to make it start so I could at least look like I tried to park properly. When I came back, it wouldn't start (grr)...so my papa came and tried and tried, and I even went to get some oil from Canadian Tire, and that still didn't work. The a really nice guy from Midnite Towing came to help us. It eventually started, and my papa was about to drive it to a garage, and I would follow him in his truck (woohoo! standard!), but it stalled as soon as he went into reverse ( a phenomenon I am quite familiar with). So, my gas didn't smell normal so they thought it might have been diesel, which would be weird because I know I filled in regular. Anyway, nothing worked, and my car is crap, and I will eventually (soon?) get a new one (well, not new, persay..new to me). Well that will require my money. boo. Oh well, I should've seen this coming.

Anywho, this whole time I was thinking and wondering why I wasn't upset. I know if I was my older sister I'd have thrown a tantrum. But I was weirdly calm, and wondering how much patience I possess. Quite a bit, it turns out. So, if nothing else, this car, in my almost three years of possessing it, has taught me a LOT of patience. Odd, isn't it.

Watches and woot
Today I wore a watch for the first time in a very very long time. I've gotten into a very bad habit of looking at it almost three times a minute. Funny thing is that it doesn't make time go slower. Almost faster. And then people tell me to stop looking at my watch. It's nice, I like it, but it needs to be made smaller, for my wrists aren't fat, my ankles are. Stupid boots. I want boots, nice long ones with heels. They're sexy.

It's time to start planning my Christmas party!! I'm so pumped!! I have so so much work to do. Like completely redecorating the downstairs. My little sisters already decorated, but it looks....yeah. I just have to do it. Does anyone have a good 'recipe' for punch? Or cheesecake? I have to send out an email soon (oh today or tomorrow) with details, even though it's still all very sketchy.

Tomorrow I am off. I am quite pumped about that, even though I just had the whole weekend off. I still have stuff I need to do. Yeah..stuff.

So Eric's sending me all these pictures from the weekend...I'm so pumped about that. I'll upload them to my photo island album and link to it so everyone can see them!

I'm back I'm back
Here I am! Finally, I'm at my own computer. It feels like four in the morning because the stupid sun sets so early. Anywho, the ride home was awesome, just me, Holly, and the music. The Weakerthans of course, with a solid two hour Backstreet Boys kick. I haven't listened to that in about three years. I want to go on another road trip. Oh yeah, I am. w00t!

The weekend was, in a word, awesome. If only we could do this more often. I did a little shopping (I did really need jeans), ate some good food, and hung out (a lot). So much happened this weekend that I can't hope to remember it all. There's nothing more fun than being a social anti-social person. Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it. What can you expect from someone who is invisible. I'll try and post some pictures of the whole experience if I could only get my scanner to work. Or someone could email me some digital camera pictures.

Just so you know, I'm invisible. If I hadn't mentioned that fact to people, I'd still be that way. No one notices me. Did you notice the way people were saying, "I miss so-and-so". Well, if I hadn't been there, my name definitely wouldn't have been mentioned. Just saying is all. I am invisible you know, it's true.

It's nice to be home though. I walk in the door and it smelt like vanilla. yum. I don't ever want to go back to work. I just want to drive for a long time. Maybe forever.

Still in Regina! Only been here for 24 hours and already good times happening, like Eric, could you not walk in on me while I'm changing? Please? We watched the movie Robin Hood, the Disney one, which I haven't watched forever...good times. We're mostly just hanging out and relaxing. Today we didn't sleep very long. Well, they all wanted to go to the Grey Cup parade. And obviously, who wants to go to that anyway? And, who wants to be quiet when other people want to sleep? hah, no one. So me n annie n kyla stayed behind and went out for breakfast to Moxie's which has HORRIBLE pancakes. Yuck, like twice as much baking soda as there should be. Then we went shopping to Victoria Square mall. Fun times. Fun fun times.

ARGH! I had the most frustrating experience last night burning CDs. The worst part that is that it was completely preventable. Maybe it just some kinda sick karma that what we were doing was obviously wrong. If we valued our time at all...it would have been cheaper and less time to drive to the city and buy the CDs. But the CDs are all burnt and ready for their....'purpose'. Muhahahahaha.

I like sleep. I got so very little last night. Well, not little persay, it's just that when you fall asleep at four and wake up at twelve, those eight hours don't seem as valuble as the hours between say, midnight and eight. But, me? Go to sleep before one AM? Unpossible!

That I would be good....
I just got back from watching Elf with Holly. So funny. Other people probably wouldn't have found it very funny, because I think you have to watch SNL to fully appreciate the funniness of Will Ferrel. It feels good to laugh out loud. I never used to. Things seem funnier when people are laughing. Was that a redundant sentence or what?

MSN is acting up right now. It's just getting me mad. After I eventually got signed on, it kicked me off because it said that I signed on at another location, which just freaks me out, because at one point in time, my account at hotmail was hacked into. Not the most comfortable feeling. Well, Annie's coming over, and we must discuss all things trippy. hehe.

I fell into a bout of self pity tonight. I'm well on my way out of it, though, so no worries. I was obsessing about what kind of person I was really, beyond physically and mentally. Was I a jerk? I thought I was for a while. While I'm honestly sorry to anyone that I've ever been a jerk to, I'm sure I'm only a jerk to people on purpose. I'm never a subconcious jerk. If I'm a jerk to you, I think you deserve it. If you think I don't like you, you have self esteem issues. I like almost everyone. I won't say 'I love you guys' because that's another thing I'm having issues with.

I can't just say 'I love you' out of context and without real meaning. Saying I love you, should be a sincere thing, not just something you say when you're saying goodbye to someone. 'goodbye, luv ya', is just a little too casual and meaningless and I think undermines what those words are supposed to mean. How deep they are supposed to be taken. How much they are supposed to mean. Imagine the difference instead of someone just saying 'love you, bye', them saying, 'i just wanted you to know that you mean a lot to me, and I really love you'. Doesn't that add like, a lot of emphasis? In contrast anyway.

I must go watch Efram.

Ok everyone, here's my new-new template. Not that anyone even saw my old-new one. I was just sick of my old-old one because, well, everyone had it, and it wasn't original. Not that I made this one or anything. But I'm keeping my comments box the same colour because I still like the colour theme. Well, I really don't know who I'm talking to, since no one reads this. Thanks for your support :D. Not that I'm doing this for anyone, I'm doing it for myself. I've noticeably removed the links to my friends' easyjournals (noticeable to me,anyway). Well, if anyone still wants to be linked, they can ask, because no one's ever asked, and basically that's what's supposed to happen. To get linked I mean. Not that anyone cared to be linked from me or anything.

My last post was kinda off the wall. I was thinking about posting something concerning important things when I was falling asleep last night. Which I didn't do until at least 3 or 4 am. It must've been the diet pepsi and two cups of coffee.

Mmm, I've been bored lately..so I've been doing a bit of research. Here are a few links I found interesting or helpful:

• critical questions
  
• critical questions2
  
• prayerbook.ca

Some of it's kinda dull. But if you look through it enough, it should answer some questions. I've been looking for the opposite support in the same arguments, but the site I found, I just don't want to be associated with. What with the new agey-ness and all. I'm not big on thinking things through at the moment, so I don't feel like giving my true real opinion of anything. I don't even know how coherent this post sounds. Not very, I'm guessing.

Try This
Me n my little sister were looking at pictures of Orlando Bloom on the awesome site The Orlando Bloom Files, when my mum walked by and reminded her to brush her teeth. I was like, "ew you didn't brush your teeth yesterday? your breath must be awful." So my mum says that on Access Hollywood, she was watching Hugh Grant (she thinks he has a nice accent), and he explained that he read in 'Marie Clare' that to check your breath you shouldn't breathe into your hands and try to smell it, you should lick your wrist, wait ten seconds and smell what's left, and that's what your breath smells like. So I tried it. Um, gross. I was drinking coffee at the time, so the smell was really horrendous. I personally apologize to anyone I've subjected to my bad coffee breath. And I apologize to anyone I breathe on in the future. As for the lick the wrist thing, try it now. I dare you.

So, did y'all have fun tonite watching Finding Nemo at Jamie's? Hope you did. I have no excuse for not coming...none whatsoever ;)

Hmm, so how did I spend my day off from work? Doing absolutely nothing, just like I thought I would. Well, I cleaned the bathroom, because it was just getting unliveable. Plus I'd have to clean it for the Christmas party anyway. I never left the house today. Never really saw daylight or breathed fresh air. It was truly awesome. heh.

I'm sorry, I can't be perfect
I feel compelled to add again today. I've just had so many thoughts running through my head. I guess that shows what I do with my time. Everyday after I come home from work, I race downstairs to my room to change into the comfiest clothes available, usually pajamas. I rarely ever watch TV anymore, except for Gilmore Girls and Everwood. Other than that, if the computer's available, I'm here. Just here.

I laughed when Marce told me she read my entry aloud to her mom. Hah, well at least I have people agreeing with me. Well, Kendra obviously has something she wants to say to me. Well, honey say it in an email, cuz I really don't hear people when they talk. In one ear in out the other. If anyone has anything to say to me. By now obviously the best way to get my attention is email or leaving a message on my blog.

mmm, hmmm
Holly, you're probably going to regret sending me that email from 'L and M', but I'm sorry. I laughed, I really did. The whole thing was calculated to make the people who wrote about CMU in their easyjournals somehow feel bad about what they wrote. All because it was written in some fanatical prose, trying to show off how much they learned at CMU. I should know about this, I've done it. Obviously not concerning CMU, but you know, other stuff. First of all, I didn't even read anyone's easyjournal where they mentioned CMU. Can someone point this out to me, I'd like to read and have more of the laughter. They speak about the year as if it was done, not as if they were in the first half of the first semester. Geez. It's like they wrote the original email in the way people actually talk, and then painstakingly translated it into a snobby language that no one speaks. It's sounds like it's out of a textbook, for crumcake's sake. There's a lot more going on in my head that I would publicly admit, but, I like to keep those thoughts semi-private. I really believe that some people who are attending bible school believe themselves to be superior to us people who are either attending secular schools or no school for the moment. I could also go off on a page long rant about that. I'm reawwy sowwy you were insulted by someone who wrote something in their frickin' easyjournal. It's an easyjournal for *expletive deleted*'s sake.

As someone who is regularly known to be opposed to Bible Colleges, this rant probably came as no surprise to some, so please, don't be surprised by it. Oh and by the way, if tales from the real world bother you that much, just go away, stop reading.

Ok, I just can't stop ranting. I found the entry where you poor things were so insulted and felt unsupported. First thing, it was almost a month ago. So, did it take you that long to find a thesaurus? As for the things ya'll are having issues about, it's good to be educated about the Bible, but, FAITH LIKE A CHILD people!!!!!!! You just HAVE to take things as they are, without overanalyzing things. You people sound like new-lifers and soon you're going to start saying that everyone is a god themselves!

Ok, you know what? I don't care. Call God whatever you want. Be it he-she or not. But please address some of the other issues that people have with CMU, say the heaven/hell thing. But I can't keep going.

You know, it never occured to me that my long sleep last night could have been brought on by the Gravol that I took. I knew they made you drowsy, but I didn't know they made you sleep and sleep and sleep. Lesson learned. I love peanut butter cookies, don't you?

Marcia, I'm sorry your kitty died. I would've said something at work, but I didn't want to make you cry. :( I'm talking to Booz right now, and she's calling you a loser (just kidding!) because you don't like cheesecake.

Just so everybody knows, I'll be emailing info about the Christmas party in about two weeks okay? If you need to book time off work for it, then you can email me for specifics. I'm so pumped about seeing everyone. I'm even going to attempt making cheesecake!!!!

Hey all, good news. Not sick!! Or at least not yet. I feel much better, but I haven't eaten anything yet, so I don't know what's going to happen. I think the fact that I went to bed at 12:30 and only woke up 12 hours later, could be indictive of a problem. But bleh, I have to go to work in 2 hours. bleh bleh bleh. I don't remember who I'm closing with...here's hoping for Amanda, cuz I think we close one more time together this week. The rest are with, well, you know who. I don't like sleeping this long, not on purpose anyway. I was awoken this morning at eight by the piano, but it was strangly comforting. Usually I would shout upstairs to shut up, but I really didn't mind.

For those of you who don't feel good today, here's a pic to help you out:

Oh I really hope I don't have the flu. Although, I don't know where I'd get it from. I feel a lot better than I did 1/2 hour ago, but that's because I've got 2 xtra strength advil and 2 gravol running through my veins. Plus I'm sniffing Lavender oil, which I hope is helping. I think it is.

Can you believe Annie left my house before midnight?? And she wasn't even bringing anyone home. I know I should go to bed so I can feel better, but I'm honestly afraid of waking up sick to my stomach and running to the bathroom. I hate throwing up, but I feel so much better when I have.

I don't remember if I said anything, but I applied to U of M yesterday. Exciting times, I really hope I hear from them soon. I really really should go to bed before I puke on the computer.

Ello, ello
It's my only day off today. And what do I feel like doing? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Which is pretty much what I do everyday anyway. Maybe I should clean my room, or go shopping for paint supplies and all that. I don't feel like doing anything alone. When I'm by myself, I'd rather do nothing than something. I almost changed my mind about painting my sister's room. Or actually my room. But since I'm getting no support whatsoever from my parents for it, and my mom never actually believed I'd do it, that's why I'm eventually going to do it. I'm eventually going to prove her wrong. I hate it when people never believe in me. It sucks.

So I just got back from babysitting my cousins. Apparently with my hoodie hood on, I'm a black little red riding hood. I'm also covered in stickers. I changed a diaper, but I told my aunt when she got back that she'd have to check it because I really suck at putting diapers on babies, it's always too high or too low or too tight. I watched almost all of CBC kids with my cousin. ahh Mr. Dressup, those were the days. But I actually enjoy Arthur so that was all good.

Well, I gotta go.

It's such an enormous thing, to walk and to listen
Work, was alright today. Working with Rose always rocks cuz we just talk and talk and talk. I might be looking for another job soon, anyone hiring? It's just so unfair when someone you work with thinks they should have preference over everything, just because they're a big whiny baby. Ms. Priss thinks she only has to have four shifts a week when everyone else gets five. Okay, now I'm just being stupid.

Someone came into the store today. Yeah mr.someone. Mr. I-can't-forget-about-you-someone. Sigh. He smiled at me. Need I say more? He's still cute, by the way.

Tomorrow I get to babysit my little cousins in the morning when my aunt goes to a funeral. I love my little cousins...so cute :D At least I don't work tomorrow. Phew.

Oh!Oh! How could I have forgotten? I applied to U of M today!! Woo hoo! I just d/l the application and printed it and filled it out and mailed it. Well, actually my mommy mailed it. And, apparently, they're going to pay for my groceries just like Gina's parents do!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sooooo pumped about that.

Why live life from dream to dream, and dread the day..when dreaming ends...

Blue Monday
Today. Today is Monday. I wish it weren't. Actually I don't really have issues with it being Monday today. It just seems fashionable to hate Mondays. I like being in Garfield's favour. Mondays are actually not too awful, depending on what kind of weekend you had.

If you like football, please stop reading if you still want to like me afterwards. I had to sit through a football game yesterday, something I hadn't done since I was like 14, and actually went to games, just cuz it was something to do. My little sisters still go to games every once in a while, when someone in my family who has a season ticket isn't going. Even then they come home and complain how cold it was. It's really cold. I can't imagine being at the game yesterday. People must've froze their bums off. Mmmm, nice football bums. So back to football, I know the names of some players now. Nealon Greene (neon green) is Sask's QB. Roberts is #1 on the bombers and he ALWAYS gets tackled when he has the ball. I wonder why he tries.

So now I shall be elusive and vague like other people. I have no pity for anyone. Really. I don't feel sorry for anyone. Unless, something has happened to them that's beyond their control, and it really messes them up. Honestly no one in the free world should be feeling sorry for their poor selves, just cuz they can't get their own act together. I was feeling sorry for myself this weekend and I wanted to have a massive pity party. But nothing would be solved. There would be a lot of crying (not like there wasn't).

My mom is talking on the phone now with Mr. Smith from high school. He's going on and on and on about student loans. I guess I need to get an application in for Uni sometime, but I don't know when I can, I mean this is really a long time ahead of time. But I just checked U of M site, and they do have applications online for next year. So I guess I'll be applying now. I know if I apply for early advanced admission, I won't get in, but eventually I will. So maybe I will write more later...

Today was going to be the worst day ever. Day after halloween, why does that make a grocery store fricken' busy? People, people, people, you don't need or want half-priced candy, you're fat already. And look at your kids, do you want them to be fat too? Do you have really good dental coverage???? Wow, people are just stupid. They come in after the store is just about to close and they expect to be able to return something, or have their rant heard by me, who can do nothing, but be reduced to tears by what they say. Geez. Doesn't anyone realize that I can do nothing???? This guy goes on and on about how whoever is in charge of produce was really deceitful because he did such-and-such to the pears, and I'm like silent the whole time. I wish I would've said something like Wayne would never do that, he's very honest with everything he does, you're just a dumb *expletive deleted*. heh. So, needless to say, people are stupid. I hate my job. I wish I could get something I liked. But it's really all in my attitude. Well, that and the way people treat me.

I was so glad I got to go out with Gina tonight. It totally redeemed my WHOLE day. We went to Smitty's which was yummy, and then we had a cheesecake! Very very yummy, but very very expensive. But I'll bet Holly's will be even better anyway. Then we came back to my house and watched 'Sixteen Candles.' So next time we watch a movie, it'll either have Molly Ringwald or Michael Schoeffling in it. We're thinking either Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club, or Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken.

I'm super pumped for tomorrow, not only because I get homemade chicken noodle soup for lunch at my Grandma's (the best ever), but because I get to watch the football game at Holly's. I'm sorry, I forgot to get chips or pop. But I promise I won't eat any chips or drink any pop, is that okay?
