Everything is fucked up, blaahh!

So I'm hosting thanksgiving this year. I decided that since I live in a house with two ovens, I could make dinner and give the moms a break.

The roommates couldn't get Sunday off. No big deal, we'll do it on Saturday.

My mom doesn't want to close her shop on Saturday because it's busy. Alright that leaves Sunday night....

It ain't Thanksgiving unless you consider everyone else plan to mess up your own. tongue

Makes me glad we only celebrate Christmas here! I hope you enjoy it despite everything smile

Well, it's official. As of October fourth I'll be leaving SG. I'm so broke that I can't justify paying almost $10/month to look at boobs. Maybe I'll become one of those creeps that hangs out in YMCA locker rooms, hopes are for not but we'll see.

It's so easy to get distracted when I have the interweb. I have an Exegesis due at the end...

Not shitting pants is usually a good sign. Thin months definitely suck, I technically don't have to worry about that right now, but I still try to live thinly so I can dump everything else onto credit cards. YAY!

Also I may be moving to Edmonton... still undecided but have a few days to decide. Kinda going to look for a job and see how it goes from there.

If you'd like you can MSN me. email is on my profile I think ...

Don't worry. The "may" is still very loose. I'm too much of a logical bastard to leave without having good employment there first. My friend Kyla is still trying to convince me.

I have an exam tomorrow, yeep yeep! This prof is supposed to be brutally picky. O well at least it's multiple choice.

I ran into a friend of my landlord today and couldn't keep my big yap shut. "O you know Sina? He's my landlord. Yeah what a shitty guy eh?" Someone's lease isn't going to get renewed. My ancient gypsy ancestors are channelling my...

I had/have the grumpy suit on. Seems like you didn't have your thinking cap on when you ran into your landlords friend lol.

How was the exam?

Decisions suck.

So my parents sent me some money for school clothes this year, because apparently my father thinks it's indignant that I have to shop at value village. Three value village trips later and I have about $100 left.

Omerica organics is having a sale until Monday, and I'm wondering if I should get a new set of plugs (which I want) or start...

Lol, I love defying parents, it's even better when they help you defy them.

Also gas prices do spike here. I've thought it strange myself but trust me it was no fun when it was $1.30/L
drix:
That would make sense. Guess I wasn't thinking, but I have been exhausted lately. I don't pay utils yet so that could be another reason. Also now the person I was going to move into a place with wants to move to Edmonton and is trying to convince me. *le sigh*

I just made the most disgusting instant soup. Don't buy the president's choice instant soup cups, they take over ten minutes to make and are absolutely repulsive.

I've realized that I go to a clown college. A moderately priced clown college at which I will earn a degree in four years instead of six, but a clown college nonetheless. Not one of my instructors is...

It'll have to be 10 as I'm being the awesome employee to the rescue again. I should be leaving work tomorrow around 9:30 and head straight down there. Still have my number right?
mysteron:
wow. that's really weird & somewhat worrying.
I'd love to go to clown college...but in the literal respect haha.

This week has been crazy.

Making the transition from sleeping twelve hours a day to practically reading a short book per day has taken it's toll. At least last night I got to relax and go out to a show. Good thing I was guest listed, since I'm so low on funds.

woe is me. I'm a student.

Made some aloo gobi and baginan bharta...

I have 2 jobs. Security and EB Games, hence why I was bitching about working 88 hours a few weeks back. I was doing full time at both that week lol.
drix:
lol, I don't understand why people want to work at EB. To make everything run smooth takes a lot and you have to be able to multitask, all for shit pay. We have a new person that is annoying as hell and she's pretty stupid too. I'm hoping within a few weeks we replace her. I'm the senior part time sales associate just because I'm the type of person who gets shit done and gives it my all. I'm essentially managerial without a lot of the power.

Map of Africa eh? I may need you to teach me some of that so I can know more about the places most people I do security for are from.

Well look at that, I can get onto SG at school. Fuck you "productivity station" sign.

I've got this two hour break between intro to the bible and my doctor's appointment. No wait, it's now an hour and twenty minutes.

Now to attack the forums to kill some time.

I'd be down for Between the Buried and Me, only problem is I'm working that night. frown Gots to pay bills, but good news is I'm getting caught up nicely. Guestlist sounds like a good idea for the 18th, so shall we each PM the person who posted about the show, or one of us do it for both?

wow do I ever feel old.

I had to run across the back alley and tell some kids to turn their music down. They were playing top 40 dance crap at top volume around 11:30 am. If you're having a party, sure I get that, but at 11:30am you're just being a bunch of pricks. I told them I work graveyard shifts and was trying...

I was going to say $15k a month for house, it must be a pimpin house. Fully furnished with flat screen tvs, a pool and jacuzzi. No wonder you didn't work this summer. lol

So everything still set for the 18th right?

I just had the best Value Village shopping trip ever.

I went yesterday, got a pair of jeans and a thermal tee. Good haul, not great.
But today I went back as the boyfriend needed some jeans. Not only did we find him jeans, but I also found two books and AND what I am most excited about. . . a mint, MINT copy of...

Beer sound like a good dinner to me. This town has culture, just more of the drunken idiot type. The good type is here as well but more hidden.

My life amuses me as well. which is good.

OK I can understand that smile I go more for the 'work in progress' aesthetic - been here four years and I've yet to hang a picture!

Wow the U of C site has completely crashed.

I checked it because my friend went off to school this morning and I said to myself "hmm when do my classes start?" Luckily not until next week. I have a week to overhaul my sleep schedule. Fantastic.

I've done nothing with my summer, literally nothing. I didn't work, go to school or start volunteering like...

Yeah, I bet. That thing has always been bad and everyone is trying to check something or change something or look up something. It happens. It will happen again around exam time when final marks are posted and next semester.
drix:
Ah sleep. I have vague memories of such a thing.

Why wait until you're old and cranky to open a restaurant? Being young and cranky you can tolerate it more and enjoy effects it has on people.

School's starting soon and I'm happy to say I've got a pretty relaxed schedule. I'm only in classes for maybe two hours a day, except for the one lab I have. Life is good.

Still trying to get used to Calgary. Still looking for good restaurants and eating a lot of salad in the meantime (lettuce and dressing you perverts). I finally found Blame Betty...

Have I ever mentioned the coup? I believe it's a vegan restaurant if not just vegetarian. It's on 17th west of 8th street. And yes it's a shitload of shitty shifts, but I'm usually able to keep jobs because I'm such a hard worker. Like right now. tongue

God bless the iPhone.
drix:
I've never been there myself so I can't say. some places can be loved by some hated by others. I remember in Toronto there was some hipster place my sister loved so we went there. I got bul go gi which they burned so I sent it back for a toasted sandwich and yup, they burned the bread. I always hate going there now because they literally couldn't make toast.
Maybe you should open a vegan restaurant here, I'm sure it would do well since there are a lot of vegetarians and vegans, just not many places that are catered just for them.
