| Need studfinder help |
| 09.30.04 (6:23 pm) [edit] |
|
I've been trying to find the correct location along the ceiling so I can install my pole. However, my studfinder keeps beeping all over the place, or if I find a spot where it may seem correct, I get no beeps when I run over it again. Then I thought I'd try the tapping on the ceiling method. I'm too afraid of bothering my neighbours, though. Every spot sounds hollow. I'm not even sure which way the studs are running. *sigh* Is there a secret trick to this??? And looking up at the ceiling has gotten me all nauseated. I thought I could have thrown up. Actually, I was about to go out and buy some medicine, but I decided to come instead in case I threw up in the car. I was also too afraid to cough, but finally I had to let it out. Good thing I didn't throw up (since I haven't had much to eat today), but I did experience dry heaves. That was not fun, and not to mention...my tongue cramped up. Maybe eating a banana will help ease my pain. I should check to see if I have any peppermint tea, too. |

I am getting sick; I am not too surprised, though. Over the last 6 weeks, I've run myself to the ground. I've been lacking sleep, been stressed, and not eating right. So I hope this passes quickly. I will try to get sleep tonight. The only thing I have to do is get one article edited. I might clean the toilets, too. At least that is kind of fun!! I am using those Fantastik toilet bowl cleaners. You just clip the scrubber on the handle, wet the scrubber, and go to town on the bowl. When you're done, release the scrubber and flush! More people at work got let go today. We just had a reorganisation and people who were underperforming were kicked to the curb. I am relieved I was safe. One of those let go...was a guy I used to have some fun with in the middle of the day. But there was never any boardroom table action. And I volunteered myself to write a thank you letter to the go-karting place that hosted our 20th anniversary party at work. If I had been at the event, I'm sure I could write a much better letter! |

| My first strata council meeting |
| 09.29.04 (1:35 pm) [edit] |
|
Last night I went to the meeting. All the owners of the condos in my buildling and the two other neighbouring ones were told to attend this meeting. I'm not sure what percentage made it, but there were enough people for quorum. I was exhausted from the night before. Anyway, we went through a few issues. There was one attendee who was very ...I don't know what the word is. Every time he asked a question, he was very aggressive in his tone and the words he chose to use. I guess it's good to have one of those people if you want answers. Then there was this really bitchy lady on the council. I think she was the one who returned my call since my keyless entry isn't working with my remote right now. The message in regards to my issue was "how can we help you if you don't answer your phone?" I guess the biggest issue was amendments to the budget. Of course our fees will go up slightly. We were to vote whether we wanted these amendments made. We pretty much had to vote yes (even though I did not) because some costs eventually must be paid. There were a couple of hotties at the meeting. And it was hard to hear at times. The guy leading the meeting would be talking, and people behind and in front of me would be talking amongst themselves, mostly in mandarin. I was tempted to ask the council to have more English signage in the building...or at least for everything that was in Chinese. There were a couple of notices taped in the elevator about the meeting. They were in Chinese. As a courtesy, I think they should have had them in English, too. I mean, if it was a reminder...then why not? And then there were some recycling brochures by the mailboxes. They were about how to sort your stuff properly. And those pamphlets were all in Chinese, and there were no English ones sitting around. By the time I got home from the meeting and grocery shopping, it was almost 9:30. I was going to finish off some laundry, do some dishes, and finally get to relaxing and watching some TV. I also wanted to sleep early since I'd only gotten about 9 hours of sleep over the last 2 nights. Instead I was on the phone from 10 to midnight. I didn't get a chance to call my mom, watch TV, take care of my bills, edit an article, or do any of my usual things at night. After I got off the phone, I did a big load of dishes. Dishes and laundry always seem to be present. Anyway, I was on the phone with my friend Aaron. He no longer has Internet access, so I don't get to talk to him all day long anymore, and I hadn't talked to him in a while. So I couldn't really say, "sorry I don't want to talk right now. I have things to do, and I'm exhausted." I think some things can be sacrificed. I wasn't expecting to talk 2 hours though, and he gets weird about phoning people and being phoned. One thing, he hates getting calls on his land line. "People should text message ahead to see if they can call me." :lol: And he doesn't like calling people in case they can't talk. It's like...major rejection or something. |

I've just decided that I want to get one. Now the question is...silver or pink? I love pink! But silver looks more classic. After getting this, I would get the iRock Wireless Beamer thing. Now that would be cool!! Cool to the max!!! |

I am not going to visit Wayne in January (or ever). I have no reason to meet him anymore. He had a date that obviously went very well. Him dating is not a problem. In fact, I encouraged him because hey really...it is not the brightest thing to hold out for someone on the Internet that is thousands of miles away. If you find someone local, it just makes sense to explore things there. What bothered me most was that he knew I was thinking about whether I wanted to visit or not. And he said he was going to make it his mission to convince me to visit. I do think by him dating jeopardised what any little chance we had left. It just seemed like he couldn't put his dating life on hold for a few more months. I guess I am angry that just a couple of weeks ago, he was really into me. And that he had already, what i feel, screwed things up for us when he decided to go to Turkey instead of visiting me in what would have been next month. Man, I need to trust my friends more often. They told me to forget about him the moment he decided to go to Turkey. Ugh. But at least now I don't have to stress over it. Yes, I am disappointed, and yes, I am sad and hurt. But I will get over this...I always get over things quickly. Sometimes I wonder if that is a bad thing. And I think karma has come to bite me on the bum. I have been dating and sleeping with others over the last several months, and did not tell Wayne about it (or I would but make it not seem like anything). With those guys, I did not let myself get attached to them. I worried that I might really like them since I figured Wayne was in the picture. So yes, I'm a walking contradiction. I dislike myself for that. (Well, not myself...I dislike being one!) |

| Highs and lows of the weekend |
| 09.27.04 (2:45 pm) [edit] |
|
The most obvious high was the wedding, of course! Although it was the focus of the weekend, other things went on, too :) Highs + hot tubbing + getting in some oral fixation activities + getting sleep Lows - bugs in the room - left my digicam battery charger behind somewhere (hopefully it is with Tara's stuff) - groom's buddy did not seem to take notice of me hitting on him *L*!! And there were two big lows - one for the bride and one for the groom...The best man left at 7 in the morning the day after the wedding, didn't say good-bye, and left his tux in a pile for someone to take care of :shock: The other low had to do with our dear friend Paula, of all people. All weekend long, she kept saying how hot the groom's cousin was and was lusting over him. I tried to discourage her since he was about 6 years younger than him. She got really drunk (and he got really drunk). They ended up getting it on, but I guess he ended up pushing her beyond the point of what she wanted. She ended up in tears calling it rape. I'm not sure exactly what it was since I wasn't there, but he thought it was consensual. (And to top it off, they got walked in on.) Now he feels horrible. And she feels cheap and humiliated. But at the same time, she is putting all the blame on him. I'm not sure what to think of this aside from ... what was she thinking, pulling that kind of stunt at our dear friend's wedding? The thing is...if he had been a considerate lover, I don't think she would have been as upset. Her words were "he just put a condom on, and stuck it in me. He didn't even use foreplay! I told him it hurt!" The last thing I want to do is put blame on someone who feels violated, but I think both parties had a role. Now she just regrets everything. I know how she feels. I am also surprised that people who have only heard things from the guy's side have not been as open minded. "Well, did she push him off? If she didn't want it, why didn't she closer her legs/use more force? She was all over him!" Even Paula said, "well, if I didn't want it, I could have shoved him away." So I dunno. I hope she moves beyond it all because it's becoming more difficult for me to deal with her anger. She's mostly angry at herself ("I've never had a one night stand before. I'm not like that! I feel so cheap!"), and I am finding it tough to find reassuring words when I just want to say "get over it. It happened. You're never going to see the guy again. You both had too much alcohol, and the situation got weird." Maybe I am not sounding like such a good friend, but I do know how she feels. And I think she should move on instead of focusing on what she did. When I was 16, I went on a cruise with my family. This cabin steward chatted me up, and asked me if I wanted to meet him in a cabin later on to talk. Naive me, I said, "sure," and I met up with him later. He had me sit on his lap, and we kissed. And then he said, "so you've never had sex before?" He didn't have any condoms either. At this point, I said, "I should get going." And I did. But afterwards, I was really angry with myself, thinking how I could be so dumb. And even then, I felt violated and had a good cry. Then I got mad at the cabin steward for preying on me. I didn't tell anyone what happened although I told some friends after I got home. |

Now I am back at work after 4 days of being away. It was good to get away. I can't believe how less stressed I feel right now. [b]Thursday [/b] So on Thursday, I drove to the ski resort in the mountains where my best friend lives. I drove our friend Jennifer for part of the way, and dropped her off at her dad's. I spent the rest of the drive (about one hour) coming up with my speech for the wedding. I pretty much nailed it down by the time I got up there. The only thing I remember about Thursday night was being very tired. I probably helped with some wedding stuff. We had dinner and just kind of hung out. The hlghlight of the night was me having showered and coming out wearing my Cockmaster shirt to a room full of people, including Tara's aunt, uncle, and cousins (whom she hadn't seen in like 15 years). I hadn't been expecting company! [b]Friday [/b] Friday was spent preparing for the dinner later that night and getting wedding things pulled together. Some time was spend on making the pillow for the rings and decorating a bucket for the flower girl. Both items ended up not being used! I'm not sure where the time went. I did get in a 15 minute nap, and I tried to help out wherever I could. The rehearsal was after the dinner. (I just couldn't believe not all of the wedding party could be there for the reheasal!!) Later that night was some hot tub action. I got some great shots!! (And the best part was getting in some shots with doobies!) [b]Saturday [/b] Saturday was the day of the wedding. The early part of the day was spent getting hair and makeup done. One of the bridesmaids really ticked me off only because she created more work for Tara. Not only did she have to worry about getting wedding stuff sorted, but she had to have her place clean and tidy for this bridesmaid and her family to stay there. She also was not at the rehearsal. AND she was late for her hair and makeup appointment. Not to mention, she hadn't ironed her dress or anything. I don't think it's too much to ask to at least show up on time for something like this. And Tara had lived with this woman for a while helping her out during her bout with cancer. Anyway, despite a bit of appointment shuffling, we all got ready and with time to spare! Tara's brother picked us up in the SUV, which was all decorated with paper wedding bells. *L* It wasn't until we got to the hotel where the reception was being held that it all hit me. I was overcome with emotion and felt teary. I held those back. A piper played while the guests waited. The groomsmen and the groom waited while the bridesmaid each desceneded from the stairs. When I saw Tara and her mom walk in, the dam burst! I couldn't stop bawling..well...I composed myself after a bit. Tara looked at me like "what are you doing!?" I rarely cry like that *L* and especially in front of people. The ceremony was Buddhist. THe priest said a few words. Tara and Steve made several offerings and exchanged rings. And that was it! It was all over in about 20 minutes. Then the wedding party went for photos. And then it was dinner and dancing. I took as many photos as I could...so I think I got a lot of shots that most people didn't. Now I just have to get those photos out. Oh yeah! My speech! It was enjoyed by many...I am so relieved! I did kick myself for leaving out a point. Mind you, I had not rehearsed with that bit in; I had decided to put in about 15 minutes before I was up. I wanted to say what kind of friend Tara was to me, and why I looked up to her. I'll just have to tell her that personally. I kept the speech non-sappy, and I got a few giggles. I'm glad people liked it. There were a couple of slideshows, too, which were nice. If I ever have a wedding, I'd like to have a slideshow!! [b]Sunday[/b] I went to bed really, really late Saturday night...Something also came up which has been really bothering me...which means I will have to blog about it!! It's become tradition for me to stay up really late on my last night there, it seems. It's never been on purpose. I said my goodbyes, and drove home with Paula late morning. I am still kind of tired! Oh, and I got a speeding ticket, too. I think I was due for one; let's just say I've been very lucky in the past. |

| 09.22.04 (11:07 pm) [edit] |

I've packed and won't be back 'til Sunday! I am leaving tomorrow morning. I've been going to bed so late the last several days that I am really looking forward to getting some sleep tomorrow night. The weekend will be action packed. I'm not quite sure how I will entertain myself, but there will be plenty of people around that are attending the wedding. I still need to think of exactly what I'd like to include should I have to propose a toast. I know I will mention that it's an honour for me to be part of the event, that Tara and I met when we were 11, that I was in the bowels of school when they met, her saying that she will never get married again (after organising this one), and that I wish them all the best and more good times to come. The missing piece of what I'd like to say is how I knew that Tara had met "the one." Actually, I know what I would say, but I really can't repeat it to everyone. [It was her reaction to what I said after she told me Steve was great in the sack.] So...I am going to have to think of something else she's said or done to lead me to believe that they're the best matched couple ever. A few things I've picked up on is that she's never really complained about him. That is the million dollar question...How did *I* realise that Tara had found the one? (other than that sack story) |

There really isn't any crying, but this lack of time for myself is really starting to frustrate me. Not to mention, my neck, shoulders and back are extremely tight. Just a tender touch sends me to much pain!! And the light at the end of the tunnel is too far away. I need to know when I can take a break, but it's painful knowing that it's over a week away. Okay, so Sunday! 1. Woke up after 5 hours of sleep and met up with my mom at Costco do some shopping. I got a cute little pink cashmere coat. 2. Had lunch with my parents. While I was using chopsticks, I noticed pain in my fingers. I guess I hurt myself worse than I thought from moving the cabinet from my car to my place. 3. Went for another skin treatment. Sometimes I think seeing this woman makes my skin worse. 4. Spent the next 5 hours (I thought it's be two max) with my dad while he helped me set up my storage, my dining table light [which got installed very successfully with no breakages], and my CD/DVD shelves. 5. Bought a bit of food. 6. Came home and prepared dinner. Started eating around 8:45. But had to return phone calls while eating. I really like to relax while I eat dinner with no distractions, except maybe for a newspaper. I already had to bail on Chris (he leaves today), so I felt bad about that. I hadn't expected to talk to him for half an hour. Then while I was eating and on the phone, I got a few more phone calls, which went unanswered. I returned as many as I could, and then I talked to John for about 45 minutes while I prepared some lunch. But then I had to stop talking before I did the dishes because I wouldn't have been able to hear him. Thank goodness for speaker phone on the handset. 7. Started putting together that frickin' cabinet. It's going okay so far. I decided to return the favour to the people living below who thought hammering from midnight to 1 am was okay. How ironic that those neighbours did not like me doing it back to them. I heard a thumping coming from below me, and I think I even heard a knock on my door. But oh well. 8. Around 12:45 am, decided I was too hungry to go to bed just yet (I still need to start getting my appetite back to normal), so I had some yogurt and chit chatted with Wayne. I didn't get any Wayne time this weekend at all :( And he said he was getting worried for my health!! Today!! So I woke up after 5 hours of sleep, and started getting ready for work. I put away the dishes, sorted out some recycling stuff, tried to do some more work on the cabinet, and got my lunch together. I also tried on my bridesmaid dress. It fits really funny in the chest, so I have to try on more bras tonight (or maybe Wednesday night). When I went downstairs, I noticed my keyless key wasn't working anymore. When I called my building manager, her voice mail said she wasn't going to be back until Oct. 12 :roll: So...now my day begins. I feel a bit better after relaying all this info. I still need to make a list of things I need to get from my mom's that I am bringing with me this weekend, and then I will make a list of things to bring to the wedding. There was one more thing I was going to say, but I have forgotten. |

I need a moment, but it's not likely I'm going to get it tonight. Maybe tomorrow, if I am lucky. Here's a recap of what's been going on! Saturday: 1. Went for my haircut, and for some reason my hairdresser felt it was justified to charge for some special drying job when it looked like it always does. 2. Started putting together my CD/DVD shelves but realised I needed help with the wall bracketes. But I got them standing up! I just need to fill up the shelves. I have some boxes at my place and the others are still at my mom's. 3. Went out for dinner with Paula and Erin. Patrick was there, and he saw me. He poked me on my shoulder and chatted me up. My heart was going a mile a minute! I knew it was a place that he went to, and I was wondering if he'd be there (and also hoping he wouldn't be). Then he called me twice later that night but didn't leave a message. What was up with that?? 4. We went to the charity event at the aquarium. The organisers kept saying it was for cancer, but they didn't say anything else. The music was great. The scene was busy, but there were so many pretentious people. It started with a 20 minute fashion show outside. There was some nimrod who thought he was just hilarious and started yelling at the models. "Take it off! Shower! Shower! Pretend you're at |

Today has been a day of stress, and I have been up for only 4 hours. I left at 9:30 this morning and have been runing non-stop 'til about 10 minutes ago. And even now I am multi-tasking with eating and sitting at my computer. Anyway, for a moment I felt alone and like I could not rely on anyone. I went to IKEA and bought myself a cabinet...It weighs about 100 pounds put together. I had to carry this all by myself and move it from the car up to my place. I called my dad to see if he had time to help me take it up. First he complained that he *just* got to my mom's but he told me to drive over there, and he would help me. So I drove over there. He was busying clearing out stuff and was in no obvious rush to help me out. "I'm almost ready. I'm almost ready." So I got ticked off, grabbed the dolly and left. He thought I didn't need help, but of course I did. Why else would I ask??! I parked the car, and heaved the box onto the dolly, and put it all in front of the elevator. Then I realised I had no way of getting back out to the parkade (Key access is required). I had no keys with me, or my phone, or anything. My car was stopped in two stalls that weren't mine, the trunk was open, and everything was in there. So I'm thinking...okay...how do I get to my car...either wait until someone comes by or walk to the 7-Eleven (in the pouring rain) to make a phone call to my mom who has my spare keys, but I didn't even have a quarter. Luckily, someone came in and let me out into the parkade. I don't know how many times I dropped the box, and I also dropped the dolly on it when I was putting it in the car, which also put a hole through the box. There is a mirror in the box, not to mention there is "FRAGILE" marked all over the box too. I just hope everything is intact because I am going to have a very difficult time bringing it back. I already dropped the box on my hand, breaking my already short nails, and having an ache in my ring finger. And then while I was returning a wrench (that was too small for my pole), Paula called...said she probably wouldn't be back in time by 5. I am only choked because the plan was to to head downtown with enough time for me to pick up my makeup brush before the store closed...Then we'd go for dinner and then off to our charity fashion show thingee. I thought we had plans. Then she was...can I pick up the brush for you and then we can go a couple of hours later? I guess that was okay, but I am just stressed right now. Having her pick up the brush (if they let her) will disallow me from buying more Stila products (good), but the even starts at 9. That still doesn't give her much more time. So I don't know where I am going with this. I am just stressed because I have been running around trying to do everything I wanted to in the time I wanted, but most is half done. This is what I wanted to do by noon today: 1. Return a shoe rack at IKEA. Done. 2. Check out dimensions of other things at IKEA. Done. 3. Go to the bank to get a US money order. Went to the bank but did not do it. 4. Go to the gym. Not done. :x 5. Go find out about contact lens prices. Done. 6. Buy tickets for tonight's event. Not done. :x I forgot!! 7. Buy postage. Done. 8. Exchange a wrench. Half done. Returned the wrench but they did not have the size I wanted. Upon reflection, perhaps 2.5 hours was not enough time to do all that, but everywhere I went were fairly close in proximity. Things that impeded my progress. 1. Standing around at my parents' waiting for my dad. Stopping there was not on the agenda today. (But now I have only 2 weeks left to clear out EVERYTHING left behind. Increase stress level by two fold.) 2. Had to get some cold sore medication. I must be getting very stressed. 3. Buying the cabinet. Things left to do (today). 1. Eat some more. 2. Shower. 3. Go to my hair appointment. 4. Was going to talk to Wayne - part of the reason of my rushing. [but he's not even online :x] 5. Buy those event tickets, but I still have to call back Paula and Erin to see if Erin is going. Why am I picking up their tickets I am not sure. 6. Put together 2 CD shelves and 1 cabinet. 7. Dry some sheets. 8. Wash more laundry. 9. Do the stack of dishes. 10. If time permits, go buy a vacuum. When oh when will I have some time to just sit for a moment? I can barely spare one hour of TV time. And then there's Tara's wedding. And planning the company party. And having to clear out old stuff and put together new stuff. There is just one of me, and I trying to stay sane! |

I just remembered that word used in Ally McBeal. I did quite enjoy that show. But I haven't watched most of the last season even though I have it taped. I might never get around to it. Anyway, I'm a little cranky today since I got little sleep last night. After I got back from seeing [u]Vanity Fair[/u] [which iss pretty good if you're in the mood for a somewhat slow and depressing movie. Reese Witherspoon was great, as usual!], I puttered around my place. i guess that is what happens if I don't get a moment to myself earlier in the day. Right after work, I went for a Soli-tone treatment, got my bridesmaid dress, dropped off boxes at my mom's, went to IKEA, bought stuff, came home, did laundry, put away stuff I brought home, had some water, and went to the movies. My plans for eating dinner were thwarted. I ate popcorn at the movies (just a Kiddie Combo) and had eggs after I got home. Needless to say, I've been hungry for most of the day, but I just eat a little bit at a time. I think I had a point to make...but I am too tired to remember. I'm scratching my plans for going to the gym today :( I need to go vacuum cleaner shopping. And I want to put together the shelves for my DVDs, CDs, and VHS tapes that I bought yesterday. Then I have to go to my mom's for dinner. I talked to her this morning. "You're still coming over for dinner, right?" Unfortunately, I will have to rush away pretty soon after eating since I have plans with friends. I was hoping Sunday could be dinner with mom, but Chris is in town, so I guess I have to get together with him. I am choked that I didn't get to meet his girlfriend, who's already gone home. For the last while, I've been thinking of getting a new car...have no idea what. But it'd be sporty. I have mixed feelings about getting rid of my current car. I love it, and has been with me with 9 years. Of course it's not as snazzy as it used to be. The fuel economy in the city is a lot worse than it used to be; there are scratches on it; and the left signal thingee is a little wonky. I'd love something just a tad smaller for ease of parking. BUT! My car is actually pretty good for transporting long objects, which I LOVE. I mean last night I brought home two shelves. Sure they ran from the trunk pretty much to the dash, but hey...I brought them home myself. And earlier this week, it fit a pole!! While I was at IKEA last night, I wanted to check out the wardrobes. I've given up and am going to get more furniture (booooo). The one I want most (because it has drawers AND a mirror so that I don't have to get another full length mirror) is 3 inches TOO DEEP :( I can either find something smaller (which they hvae but it's uglier...and it's smaller) or put it somewhere else. I would rather not put it somewhere else...because that somewhere else will be shoved in a corner and is a little awkward to get to. :-/ |

| The peanut butter incident |
| 09.16.04 (12:13 pm) [edit] |
|
This morning I got into work probably close to half an hour later than I could've. And why? Peanut butter was the culprit, namely Kraft All Natural peanut butter. I don't know...I just can't think of Kraft producing "natural" peanut butter. Anyhow, I thought I would give natural peanut butter a whirl, and the Kraft stuff was on sale at the time. I always thought it was a little strange that it was liquidy from the sounds of shaking the jar. Anyhow, I guess it's oil. About 3/4" worth. So this morning, I was preparing my peanut butter and jam on toast. After I opened the jar of PB, I tipped it and of course spilling the oil on the counter and into the sink. No worries. I can pick up the jar and clean the mess. Then whoops, I dropped the jar!! Peanut butter in the sink - splatters of it. I just kind of looked at the mess and wondered what the best way was to clean it. I don't have the little shower nozzle to spray the peanut butter down the drain. It may have been easier (and if it was the garburator side). I cleaned the counters first. Then I cleaned the greasy lid, and put it back in the jar, and then bagged up the jar and threw it away. A waste, I know. But I didn't want some greasy, messy jar living in my cupboard. I took the easy way out. But then there was sink of peanut butter. This natural stuff was sooo runny. I used handfuls of papers towels and wiped up the sink, trying not to let any drip out of the clumps of paper towels. Then I just filled the sink with hot soapy water, hoping to break down some of the peanut butter upon my return [I doubt it will be very successful. I've soaked a peanut buttery knife all day, and at the end of the day, it's like it was never soaked]. Actually, the worst mess will be cleaning the plastic racks that sit in the sink - all those crevices. BLEH! I'd use the dishwasher, but I don't have any other dishes to throw in there to fill up the beast! And I noticed a smudge of PB on the floor...so I threw out my slippers. I went to a lingerie store today to find some new slippers. Did I come back with any? No! Actually at the mall, I wanted to check out slippers, a hair catcher, and a wrench. I ended up buying a PJ set and a nightie from the store. I got my hair catcher and some sponges for washing dishes. But no slippers. I was afraid to go to other parts of the mall because I found myself peeking into other stores :oops: I had only wanted to make a quick trip! |

| The light from hell |
| 09.15.04 (2:09 pm) [edit] |
|
Well, just the shades... Over my dining table hangs a new light. It should have looked like 5 different coloured (red, white, blue, yellow, and green) milk bottles strung down from the ceiling. But only 4 hang. Why?? Because my dad broke the blue one! But why didn't we bring it back in hopes of getting it exchanged? Because it was too much hassle. Timeline... 1. Bought the light and checked it over in the store. 2. Took out the light from the box. Red paint came off the red bottle. 3. Brought the red one back for a new one. Had to wait a few days for stock to be moved to the store. 4. Connected the 5 dangly wires for the shades to the top plate. 5. Took out the light from the box. 6. Dad hit the red light with a screw, and put a hole through it. Decided to take the light down. (good thing, too because the milk bottles were supposed to be put on first before connecting to the top) 7. Made Dad exchange it for me. (After all, HE broke it). 8. I successfully connect everything together, leaving the bubble wrap on the shades (just in case, for waiting Dad to come hook up the wires for me. 9. Dad is hanging it up. Hits the blue one against the ladder. Shade is in pieces. We just kind of looked at each other...The "not again" look. Instead of risking more damage, we just decided to leave them at 4 bottles. Gah! |

For some reason, I've been getting a lot of them over the last couple of days. Ouch! Tonight I start pottery class. Two of my friends and I are going to do this until November, just once a week. We'll be going out for coffee afterwards tonight. Of course I will let it all out about Patrick. I am still angry. I'm going to give him the heave ho. It's just a matter of silent treatment or some direct words. My plan to have all my clothes in my closet is still working so far, but I have two garbage bags left and two suitcases worth. I can't really hang any more stuff up! And my shoe shelf is overflowing. I had no idea I had that many pairs of shoes. Dang. Who'd have thought I had that much stuff? I'd already whittled down what I thought was a lot! |

:D *shakes head* I still can't believe the guy. But I am feeling a little smug. I let it all out with Patrick tonight, and obviously, I could not successfully convey my points to him. His response was "f*ck it." In summary, this is what I said to him: 1. I don't like when when you cancel (as oppose to postpone) our dates, especially last minute. 2. I don't like being called up last minute and late to get together. 3. I could be treated better. In summary, this is what he said to me (although his tune kept changing): 1. I'm sorry. I'll do better. [How can you do better on this? Cancelling on someone should be done only on rare occasions. "My buddies wanted to get away" does not count.] 2. He had no real response for that. 3. I'm sorry. I tend to get caught up in my own world and don't think about others. After this part, I couldn't stop myself from asking..."have you not dated girls before? Do you not treat your friends with respect and courtesy?" I gave him crap about that late Friday night booty call. I told him I felt cheap and used. And then out came the excuses: I prefer my own bed, I would have stayed if I knew you wanted me to, I needed to let my roommate in [the truth], you do the same thing to me. He kept changing his tune, anyhow. So I asked him *again* if sex was all he wanted. He said no, and that it makes him mad when I ask him that. He also kept wanting to see me tonight [he kept asking over and over again, by at which point was after midnight. Me telling him that I had to work in the morning was not a good enough reason for no. Why couldn't he even just accept no?]. And when he brought up getting together tonight and tomorrow, I said no to tonight. And maybe to tomorrow. And if I saw him tomorrow, there'd be no sex. And then I said I was thinking about being celibate for 6 months. (that part was more to see a reaction) He couldn't accept that. "Why? What about me? I don't get it. If I am attracted to someone, then I will want to have sex with them." Blah blah blah. My counter: That's lust. If you really liked me, you'd hold off for 6 months. Anyway, our conversation went into cycles about the same issues but in different words. It was getting tiresome. But I did ask him if he'd like me to repeat my points in person since I could convey tone better that way. That's when he said "f*ck it." And I said, "okay." :D Earlier today, when I was stewing in my anger about how Patrick was treating me, I started thinking about what I would say to him when I dumped him... Patrick just phoned me...He called to say "hey." I cannot figure this boy out. Of course he asked if he could come over. He is a weirdo, and I am tired. |

The P man. Why do I let myself get into unacceptable situations!? He was over for about an hour last night...arrived at 1:15 and left around 2:15. I am only a little mad. What is up with swinging by so late (mind you, I let him because he said he might have to go flying today) and then only staying for such a short period of time?! For the past week or so, I've been thinking about his re-appearance and what he's been like, and should I keep him in my life. I knew I'd need to have a talk with him, but I hate talks, and I was waiting for the right moment. Usually for me, when the right moment seems bleak, I just blurt things. When he was getting ready to leave, I blurted. I told him I wanted to have a talk with him [about us]. I was expecting him to be like "okay," and it would be something to discuss next time. But no, he just wanted me to say what I wanted to right then and there and to "stop being a girl." I hadn't thought about everything I wanted to say or more importantly, how. My strength is being to the point without mincing words. I've learned that a little mincing is needed to soften blows. My point was that I did not trust him, and I wanted to know if he wanted only sex. He thinks trust is earned. I think trust can only be decreased over time...it takes a lot for me to trust someone fully again after they break it. I pointed out he was a liar the first night I met him :-p And as for sex, he quickly said no that wasn't all he wanted. When he asked me the same question back, I was tempted to say yes. He said there were a lot of qualities in me that he admired. He also pointed out that I'm really guarded. And I am. I told him I don't let me guard down until I trust someone. He said, "you can't even tell me you miss me." When I saw him earlier this week, he told me he had missed me. I didn't say the same thing to him. Of course he noticed and prodded. "Didn't you miss me?" If I had missed him, I would have said so...But I'd have felt bad for saying "no, I didn't." Perhaps in a roundabout way, I did. I thought about him for a week, but after that, I figured I'd never hear from again and I started moving on. Into the recycling went his business card, and into the garbage went the flower he ripped off from his apartment's bush. Then I removed him from MSN. I was all set set to give away this sticker he gave me to someone who wanted it. The only thing I did not do was remove his phone number from my cell phone or delete his photos. I save pretty much ALL the photos I take from my digicam. I've taken over 5000 over the course of this year!! |

So for the last few days, I've had a lot of fruits and vegetables. One of them is celery. I've never liked celery, but I've been eating an average of 4 outer stalks a day. I don't care for the taste of celery raw or cooked. And sometimes, my tongue feels numb after eating. But I do like celery with peanut butter and raisins. I have no raisins though. I am afraid to buy raisins because they always go all hard before I finish them all. Hopefully this weekend, I will do some cooking, so I bring some better (warm) food for lunch next week. I need to clean my (fairly empty) fridge already, too. I put some leftovers in there one night, and now there is an aroma. |

| This weekend |
| 09.10.04 (7:06 am) [edit] |
|
I'm feeling anxious about it for some reason. Maybe it's because I have nothing social planned. Paula and Wayne are away for the weekend. Not expecting to do anything with Patrick. But what is on my mind is that I know I have more stuff to clear out from my mom's!! I am down to about 6 weeks to get everything outta there!! I know there are people I could call to get together...people who've been on the back burner too long!! I guess I have been used to have lots of stuff lined up to do. Pottery class starts on Monday. Technically, I haven't paid for the class yet even though I wrote a post-dated cheque for it. I dated it September first, but they cashed it the second week of August. The bank gave me my money back. Tuesday will be my last skin treatment. I've been going for these [url=http://www.superiorskincare.c...]SoliTone treatments[/url]. They've been hella pricey. I hope they're worth it. My skin (in terms of zits) have gotten a lot worse as I've gotten older, and I'm at my wits end on combatting the problem. Wednesday will be my last pole dancing class for a while. The instructors have decided to cancel the intermediate classes for now (gee, thanks for the treatment of your very first students) and charge a drop in fee for those who want to continue. However, the drop ins will be at one of the instructor's homes *and* costs 25% more than a regular class. Where do they justify these costs? They are totally raking in the dough now with all their beginner students. Next weekend, I'm getting my hair cut before my best friend's wedding. I'm looking to go out Saturday night!! It's also my dad's birthday today. Maybe he will actually want to celebrate with a meal or something. Last night, he came by to help me get the light over my dining table set up. He ended up breaking one of the fixtures :x The shoe shelf he made me was also about 1.5" too wide. I wasn't expecting much from my dad's woodwork. He was making messes everywhere, too. I tried not to say anything about it, when plastic was flying everywhere and paint was getting scraped off my walls, I had to say something. Oh yeah! Chris the pilot is also back in town! This time the girlfriend will be in tow, too :D |

:x So for my new bathroom, I picked up very soft and fluffy black towels. They're very nice to touch and very nice to look at. But use them for drying myself off??! I am left with a layer of black LINT!!! What can I do to prevent my towels from shedding all over me?? I've washed them once. I know over time with more washings, this lint problem will be better, but is there a secret trick to helping the process go faster??! |

of my old place!!! When I got home last night, I had a voice mail from my mom: "Call me!" I really, really hate those kind of messages that don't say anything. I wonder if it's a generational thing. My best friend's mom does the same thing. They like to say whatever it is directly. Anyway, it was late when I got her message. I didn't even get a chance to call her back when I got into work this morning, and my phone was already ringing. "Good morning. Rosie speaking." "Why didn't you call me back last night?" "Did you want me to call you at 1 am?" "Why were you out so late? Where were you?" I think she was calling about moving stuff again, but it's not really clear. I guess it's now my chance to say, "I was out f*cking, mom." I guess she is still adusting that I am out of the house. Often she asks me if I am coming home for dinner or if she needs to get me stuff for lunch. I guess that is kind of cute. So last night, Patrick and I were supposed to get together, and indeed we did. Since he didn't have his wallet with him, he offered to cook me dinner. It was actually pretty good. He made steak. Then we watched [u]Good-bye, Lenin![/u]. It was a pretty good movie although it dragged on a little at the end. At one point in the night, I said in a half-joking way, "you don't really think we can just pick up where we left off, do you?" He did. He also said it was the first time he'd ever cooked dinner for a "girlfriend." *hyperventilates into a paper bag* I have this desire to flee. |

I miss it! I need it! So it's back to work today. It feels like I've been away from work a loooong time. My mind is still frazzled! I was at my mom's for dinner last night (man, the house is looking emptier...I still have a lot of stuff to clear out), and she asked me, "why do you have that disgusting stuff on your desk?" She was referring to a bunch of cards I had on my desk. I guess her friend was measuring the desk since it's going to be sold. The desk is full of stuff I need to either move or chuck. Anyway, these cards...They're ads for prostitutes on the Las Vegas strip. The card on top had this woman sitting with her knees up and legs spread. :lol: My mom was so embarrassed that he friend saw these. BWAHAHAHAA I had originally collected them to give away to guy friends or something. But I never did. And tonight, I am supposed to have dinner with Patrick. What am I getting myself into? What is he going to want to do after dinner? I don't know how to treat this. I haven't seen him in a month. Do I treat this is a first date kind of deal?? I can't go back to thinking of him as a boyfriend. I had a dream this morning that I dumped him while he was working at a convenience store behind the counter. Should I even be seeing him?? Wayne is back from Turkey. |

I'm so glad it's been a long weekend. Yesterday, I actually stayed in ALL day and into the evening to clean, unpack, and tidy up. I didn't leave my home until about 8:30 to go do some shopping and get more stuff from my mom's. It was nice to finally relax with some [u]Freaks and Geeks[/u]. I hope I can get to sleep tonight. I'm going out for brunch in a bit, and I realised I have no clothes here :shock: Ugh. And Saturday night was Tara's stagette. It went amazingly well (except for one part), and everyone had a GREAT time. We all wore feather boas and carried around Mr. Stud, the blow up doll, for a bit. I used [url=http://aliciarose.tblog.com]aliciarose[/url] 's task list idea for Tara, and that was a success!! So the one part...my pole dancing instructors were LATE, despite the fact that I told them I wanted them there for 6:45ish. They got there some time after 7:30, and while they were on their way, they called to ask if we had a studfinder. Then when they got here, they needed a wrench. And then they needed a CD player. As a company who provides this service, I thought they should have had all these things with them, or at the very least have told us they needed these things ahead of time. When they called to ask if we had a studfinder (luckily, we did), they were like, "if you didn't have one, we were going to go buy one." And then at one point in the evening, the pole fell over. :shock: Luckily, no one was seriously hurt. And the last item on Tara's task list was to get 3 different types of condoms from different people. Finding people who had condoms were extremely difficult. I was kind of surprised. Lots of guys said, "oh, I like to ride bareback." And some weren't planning on having sex, and the others said their condoms were in their jackets or cars, etc. I hope people are practising safe sex out there!! Speaking of safe sex, one of the girls who participated in the stagette, Jenn - she used to hang out with Tara a lot (and me, to an extent), and then they drifted a part. We were talking about our vices from back in the day, and then she said to me, "you didn't really have one, did you...you didn't drink, etc. Maybe sex?" I laughed...Sex wasn't my vice back then. I was about to say, "no, I was with Demetrios then. We didn't have sex." (which was true...even though I was with him for three and a half years, sex was almost non-existent.) |

I am still slowly getting settled...still no full day of just doing new home stuff, though. I came to the conclusion that I'd better take more time off, so grudgingly, I've taken half of tomorrow off. I hope to not take any more days. I'd like to bank my last 1.5 days to next year :roll: Last night I was up to 3 am being all wired and excited about organising my space. I definitely need more storage solutions for my clothes, but I am trying to get away with not getting another wardrobe. It'd be nicee to have one, but I've discovered I don't like having a lot of furniture. Either today or tomorrow, I will swing by IKEA again for a shoe rack, some closet thingees, and a DVD rack or shelf. The most perfect one is 0.5 inches too big :x I originally wanted a case with a door, but I don't want the whole thing sticking out. I guess I will just have to do some dusting. I"m not used to all the noise of living in an apartment. My windows face another apartment building (and they also face east! I've always wanted to wake up to a bright room :D). I am also fairly close to the elevator. It's great for moving stuff, but I often hear the "ding ding" whenever the door opens or closes (or maybe when it's just even passing by my floor?!) And the ceilings/floors are kind of thin, but the walls are great! I can blast my music, and not have it be audible in the hall. When I am in bed, I can hear the people below me coughing. I wonder if I will hear any loud humping at any point. And some people have really loud footsteps in the hall. The office was just freezing a moment ago. I actually still feel a breeze, so I might leave the office for a bit to warm up. Not that I want to; I've already been slacking lately and leaving early. Good thing it's not that busy at work right now. |

Not hallelujah, though :P So James...I was going to email him back to say I didn't want him in my life (not exactly in those words, but that would have been in the point), but he IMed me, so I told him there. He said he would make it up to me. Then I blocked him. Then he sent me another email last night. It was normal one, and he is still gung ho about doing better. I've not responded to him. I feel horrible for wanting to cut him off when he's being nice. But I think it should be done. And then today, Patrick IMed me. I thought I wasn't going to hear from him again. He asked me what happened, and said that I was supposed to call him the weekend I thought he said he was going to call me. Anyway, both of us thought the other was going to call. I am not sure why he decided to IM me today. I am a little suspicious, but he did seem into me a month ago. I dunno. My gut tells me he has been dating/fooling around lately. He asked me if I'd gone to the club where we met. He asked me what I wanted to do [about us], and I said I didn't know. I bounced the question back to him, and he said he wanted to see me. I agreed to it. I hope I am not getting myself into any messes. :roll: |
