I decided to give myself lots of time to compile my work today, and I did what I had to do with plenty of time to spare. so for the last half-hour, I've resorted to surfing the Internet. I have another half hour left. But I haven't left yet because I'd feel too guilty. I guess that is kind of silly considering I should go pick up some Clif bars. I'll just end up not bringing with me on the plane. I hope I don't get hungry on the way there or the way back :wink: Doot de doo. I can't wait to get there! I had myself a tea this morning, in hopes that it will keep me awake until 6 am. On the other hand, I hope the caffeine wears off by then. I'm taking two suitcases. One is full of clothes, and the other is full of gifts, toiletries, and shoes. We'll see if I bring home lots of stuff for me. I hope not! |

I am feeling really hot today, and I hate feeling hot. I do mean termperature-wise :P Perhaps it contributed to my aggressive driving on my way to work today. Or maybe it's the McDonald's. Since it's my last day in the country, I've decided that I will be buying all my meals today. I had a coupon for breakfast food at McDs so I used it...buy one, get one free, you know? I should have stopped eating after 1.5. Ugh. And while I was barreling my way to work, a car in the lane beside me, while stopped at a light, decided to change lanes into mine. Good job, buddy. No matter how fast you think you can accelerate your dinky little Civic from zero to whatever you were going for, you shouldn't cut in front of a 'stang going at 70 km/hour. It sure feels good to use the horn sometimes. And then the doofus decided to drive below the speed limit after that. Niiiiice. I'm sure there is something else I was going to say, but this cold is making my mind fuzzy, and I'd better finish up some work!! |

I won't vote for your blog if I don't read it and if I don't know you. JEEZ! I absolutely HATE when people who just go around asking for votes for their blogs. If your blog is that great, it will be found. People will read it and they will like it and return. The only blogs I've ever voted for were ones I read and where the blogger mentioned they were in the running as a featured blog in a post or something. I HATE reading in my comments "vote for my blog!" I don't care if you even say please. I hate reading comments left by people I don't know of who obviously weren't by my blog to read it. Man, you people irk me. Now, back to our regular program... |

I guess it was a good buy...It's a long-sleeved stretching thing...cotton...fairly thick. I had bought it for my Fook Mi costume one Hallowe'en. But the last couple of times I've worn it, people ask me if I've lost weight :P I've been getting soft again since I haven't been working out. *sigh* |

I've still not done any packing. But I cleaned my bathroom and cleaned the mirrors. Tonight is vaccuuming and the floors. Tomorrow is laundry. My mom and I have decided to have some Wendy's before we leave. I want something like Wendy's so I'll stay full like forever. There's a good chance our flight will be delayed. *sigh* I just need to be able to stay awake until midnight Hong Kong time before I go to sleep. That's 8 am here. I want to adjust my clock while I'm on my way there. I slept horribly last night. I don't know if it's from being too hungry or horny. And now my throat's all itchy, too. This cold is not going away very quickly. I guess I need to take better care of my body. I'm getting back into feeling hungry but not caring to do anything about it. Or maybe I'm sleeping badly because of a new pillow? I got one of those memory foam ones. My head doesn't even sink down when I lay on it. I didn't even feel sleepy when I climbed into bed. I woke myself up at 5 am. I was having one of those sexual dreams again, but I had really big boobs...wishful thinking, I guess :lol: I heard back from my other match from speed dating yesterday - turns out he was out of town on business. Kira and I signed up for another speed dating thing, but it's called "Twisted Conversations." The organisers give you the topics of conversation. One thing I did get bored of at speed dating was having the same conversation over and over again. At one point, I wanted to just skip it, but then I felt weird about not starting off with small talk. This event is for 28 - 39 year olds...It'll be interesting for me since I never meet older men. I did go out with a 45 year old for a date a couple of years ago, and I guess he was my oldest. I seem to date guys in their mid - late 20s. One thing that I liked about Brendan even though he's 26 is that he had a really good head on his shoulders and also, he wasn't interested in younger (like early 20s) women. I don't know if he and Kelly will get together; they were also a match. She says she'd feel a little awkward about emailing him since he and I already went out. I told her not to worry about it and to just go for it. |

I hate it. I hate hearing songs on the radio that remind me of people I'm trying to forget. Gah!!! And yes, I am listening to the radio right now. I'd never even heard of Jack Johnson 'til a couple of months ago. Now I hear his name pop up all over the place!! Things are definitely fizzling out with the P Man...He gave me a call last night to say hi, and I haven't seen him in over a week. And there no plans in the near future. Booyah! |

I'm leaving in a couple of days for HK. The main reason for me going was to see family since my cousin is having a wedding reception. If there was no reception, I'd definitely not be going...I could be going elsewhere with my vacation days!! SO! Yesterday I found out that my cousin's wife will not be attending *their* wedding reception. There'd better be a damn good reason...I doubt there is one. I think this is a bigger deal than my cousin being late for his own wedding. And my aunt refuses to say what the reason is...won't say until we're all in person. DUMB! And why has MSN been so problematic lately?! :x :x :x :x |

I hardly ate this weekend, and now my cold feels worse. In fact, I feel kind of light-headed today. I went to bed with a headache last night. I think I'd better get some food in me, but the problem is that I don't even really feel like eating. And my cell phone is dead. It needs a recharge. That came as a surprise to me this morning. And the shirt that I bought yesterday...I don't like it on me today. |

| Delightful day |
| 01.23.05 (2:18 am) [edit] |
|
Actually Friday and Saturday nights were both delightful! [b]Summary[/b] Last night, several of us went out for dinner and then we caught [u]In Good Company[/u]. It was a good movie. Good for a girls' night or a date, I suppose. Today was a long day, and a day where I hardly ate. There just was no time. I had a chicken tit, a banana, a handful of gummi bears, a couple handlfuls of chips, a few celery sticks, a piece of cauliflower, and a several finger sandwich thingees. I have dishes left to do from last night! But it's 3 in the morning on Sunday now, but I am still calling it Saturday night. So this morning, after I got up, I had to rush out the door to go meet up with some of the people from the Vancouver Asian Film fest. They had a screening for some of the volunteers today. While I was driving down there, I had to call Brendan to make plans for our coffee date. I left a message, and he called me back while I was the screening. After the screening, I rushed off to meet up with him. We chatted for 2 and a half hours, which whizzed right by. Then I had to go because I was meeting Paula to catch a hockey game. I was bit later than I thought I'd be. After the hockey game, we went off to the after party. We danced a bit, and then went off to the pub. At the pub, we ran into some people we once knew...including a guy, Chris, I had a crush on in Grade 8. He didn't remember me, but we talked all night 'til he had to go. Then I came home after I dropped off a couple of people. [b]My coffee date[/b] He didn't look familiar to me; I guess I had someone else's face in mind. But that didn't matter. He didn't look 26 either, but I am so glad he had some maturity. We had quite a few things in common: he studied criminology; I studied sociology; then we both went off to technical school after we finished university; we both like to travel and we're into the metropolitan place. It's a little fuzzy what we talked about, but the conversation flowed pretty well for 2.5 hours. He had a large coffee, and I had a steamed milk with a shot of almond syrup. I dunno. I just felt comfortable with him, and I definitely would like to get to know him better. Oh. I met him through speed dating. He made 4 other matches that night, including my friend, Kelly. He doesn't really remember her, though. There were 3 that definitely made an impression on him. My other guy didn't email me back, which is fine. What I liked about him, other than having stuff in common with me, was that he was really down-to-earth. He was kind of cute...looked trim. He's an active guy. I couldn't tell much by looking at his bum. His jeans weren't tight enough. Saying bye was a little awkward. We're supposed to get together after I get back. (I hope nothing pans out with the other matches he made :P ) [b]At the pub[/b] So Paula and I got to the pub, and we walked around looking for her brother. We actually had walked by the pub earlier, and the people we knew were outside. And I thought one guy was looking at me weird. (Speaking of looking at me weird...Paula bust a gut laughing when she saw some guy checking out my bum at the party...she said it was something about his expression...Too bad I missed it.) So when we went in, I pointed out the guy that we knew, and we sat down at the table. At the other end of the table, I recognised Chris. He was known for being dorky back in the day, but he sat in front of me in English class....and well, I had a crush on him. He got up and came over and talked to me. I told him I had a crush on him back then. :lol: He was very easy to talk to, and I felt very comfortable with him. He said he was checking me out earlier, but I didn't notice. I rarely notice these kind of things. At one point, I thought he was going to buy me a drink. He asked me what I wanted to drink, and we got up towards the bar, but then he disappeared. And he also skipped out on paying his bill...so I hope it's not a sign that he's cheap. (Brendan paid for my beverage even though I asked him out, but oh well :? ) We talked about getting together for a date after I got back from Hong Kong, and I gave him my number. We'll see if he calls. He seemed to have a nice upper body. Well, time to take a delightful shower and go to bed! |

| One free nostril |
| 01.21.05 (9:11 am) [edit] |
|
:) Only my right nostril is working right now; maybe both would work if I took some meds. I'll do that later when I can't take it anymore. Last night I took some meds before I went to sleep, and I slept reeeeeally well. Even better, I did not get woken up by the phone. That was my last thought before I fell asleep : Please don't let the phone ring tonight. I was just exhausted last night. I am still out of it today. I need to run some errands, and a good time would be in the middle of my work day. However, I'm low on gas, so I will just wait. I got to see some photos from another work function today. Once again, there is a nice one of my tushie. Yesterday, I got a rebate cheque in the mail!! I made 58 Canadian cents from all my American Express purchases last year. That's enough for half a newspaper. Hmm...what else can I buy for 58 cents that's not candy? I saw some photos from another work function. Once again, there's a shot of my fine tushie :P Oh, and I have mastered the one hand bra removal! Yay! |

| Working late |

It's kind of fun but only because I haven't worked late in ages. It's kind of boring because I'm just waiting for our online help projects to compile. I run a macro and sit and wait. Since I use mainly word for my work, I can't do any other work because the macro locks up Word and who knows what else. They're so delicate that I must not rock the boat. I was going to marinade some chicken tits this morning before I came to work, but I forgot. I will have to marinade them tonight. Maybe I will broil them in the morning and bring them to work for lunch. Geez, I am bored. Hopefully I will be out of here in an hour. |

:lol: The P Man called me and then he hung up on me. How rude :P I was pretty frosty during the convo, considering the last time we spoke. He remembered that he called me and apologised for waking me up. We made some small talk. He wanted to know when we could get together since I'm always busy. Actually, I'm not, but when you try to get together on the day of, I might have something else going on. The convo ended like this: P: Why am I so good looking? Me: You're not. *thinking...where did that come from?* P: What? You don't think I'm good looking? Me: Well, I don't think you're ugly. P: Are you serious? Me: Yes. We've had this conversation before. P: We did? Me: Yes. P: So you don't think I'm good looking? Me: Well, I don't think you're ugly. P: Then why are you talking to me? Other girls think I'm good looking. Me: Then maybe you should be talking to them instead of me. [Pet peeve: I really don't give a rat's ass about other girls when a guy is talking to me, especially if it's about their experiences in the sack...I never want to hear about it.] P: *silence* Whoa, you're in a bad mood today. *more silence * *Hangs up* Actually, he called me back while I typing this entry. He wanted to know why I was trying to piss him off. Maybe I am, subconsciously...who knows. But cocky people make me want to take them down a notch. And the P Man is definitely cocky. His ego is so inflated, and I don't think it's warranted. Then we talked about his looks...and why I had even given him the time of day when we first met if I didn't think he was good looking. Seriously, for me, it was just not about the looks. I did not even mention his looks in my blog entry when [url=http://www.tblog.com/template...]I first met him then[/url]. And he brought up why we weren't going out. [It *is* easier now...when I tell myself we're not going out. I still don't feel great when I think about him out hitting on girls, etc., but my expectations of him are so low that I'm well on my way to moving completely on.] He said he would call me later, and he promised it wouldn't be 2 in the morning. |

I'm glad some of them are back. I went back and took a look at my old posts. They sure were a lot shorter back then. :lol: I read over an old tarot card reading from spring 2003. She said I had just broken up with someone (J) and that he'd want me back. Well, that was true. He hasn't written me in a while. Maybe he decided to stop after I sent him that trite email saying thanks for the Red Cross donation. I just deleted a few sentences about that relationship. Too long. She had told me not to get my hopes up about Wayne then, too. So much can happen in a year...I always seem so wrapped up in the present regarding certain things, and forget about the bigger picture. I need to be at one with myself or something :lol: |

I have been instructed to go to a meeting in lieu of my boss. It's a 2 frickin' hour long meeting. And it also means I have to skip another meeting. But despite all these meetings, I still have a deadline to meet :x I hope me decreased posting about the P Man has been enjoyable. Not much to post about when you don't see the guy. All that's been going on has been phone calls, which is a bit of a problem. He calls at night. Since the beginning of the work week, he's been calling around midnight, at the earliest. Normally I am up, but getting ready for bed. On occasion, I might be trying to get to sleep. So last night after 12:30 rolled around, and I didn't hear from him, I figured I was in the clear. 3 am-ish rolls around...(I didn't know that at the time though.) *ring ring* *groan* I figured it was probably the P Man, so I did my best to ignore the phone and to keep sleeping. And I succeeded. But he was persistent. *ring ring* *groan* *phone stops ringing* I decided to check the caller ID just in case it was my mom or something...or anyone in dire need of me. Yep, it was him. So on the third call...I picked up. Maybe he was in trouble or something. But no. He was drunk and driving home. I picked up, "what do you want?" "Sorry for waking you. I jus wan-ned to talk to you," he slurs. "How long do you think we'll be friends?" I was in no mood to chit chat...I didn't really answer any of his questions because he just let out this stream of consciousness, but I did give him a hard time about driving after drinking. Maybe he thought I hung up, but the phone went dead. *exasperated* I was a little afraid he was going to pour his heart out again about the stuff he wasn't happy about in his life, which he tends to do when he's drunk. I was tempted to entertain his questions, but then I remembered he was drunk and that it wouldn't matter what I said. He'd forget it all anyway. It took me a while to get back to sleep, and now I'm feeling really badly. Not to mention I have this cold, too. It turns out my cell phone didn't wake me up both times he called before calling my landline. Am I supposed to be honoured that's he picked me to call? Or maybe alphabetically, I'm just at the top of his phone book in his cell phone. I don't know what I am going to say to him the next I hear from him. Maybe I will be lucky and not hear from him. |

My throat is itchy...I wonder if it was from the popcorn. That was my dinner tonight...a Kid's Meal at the movie theatre. They give just the right amount of popcorn. Any more and I can't finish it. I bought a regular bag of popcorn a couple of weeks ago, and it's about 4 times the amount of popcorn I usually eat. Needless to say, I could not finish it. [u]Coach Carter[/u] was an enjoyable movie, except the slow motion in the basketball games was getting to me. It was over 2 hours long, but it didn't seem that way. It even made me tear up a few times. The extras in the background were funny to watch...just their expressions...There were lots of crowd scenes in the movie. I was a movie/TV extra for basically a summer. The money is good if you work overtime. Otherwise, it's just minimum wage plus a cut to your agent. Usually there is free food. Most of my time was spent waiting around. My arms are so itchy right now. It's probably from my hot showers drying out my skin. My skin seems extra sensitive right now, too. I've always had this thing that wherever I scratch, I welt up. It doesn't hurt or anything. It just looks kind of gross, and goes away after a short while. There was something else I was going to say, but I forget now. I can't stop coughing. Oh yeah...My humidifer works fine outside of my bedroom...guess I will be using an extension cord. And I've thrown my down jacket into the wash, and now it's drying. I didn't realise just how dirty the jacket was. I hope it comes out looking good!! |

It's running rampant at my work. We had a 2+ hour Town Hall meeting today. Since I sat pretty close to the back (and dozing off), I had the opportunity to check out everyone's mops. How can there be so much bad hair? I'm not really one to talk. I miss my old hair. I don't know what's going on with me, but I've been feeling kind of...not myself...Maybe it's loneliness. I don't know. So tonight I'm heading for the movies with a friend. |

There's a girl that my dance instructors are training. She's quite entertaining to watch. One thing I couldn't help but notice that for someone whose chest wasn't very big, it sure hung low. The girl could use some support. I've been trying to master unhooking my bra with one hand. I'm not sure why I never attempted to master this skill way before. I'm hitting an missing. I"m sure there is a trick to it. |

Well, I got a rash of blog subscription notifications. At least it gave me an opportunity to remove the ones that are no longer updated!! One was a sorry reminder. And now I can bot a blog my other regularly read ones. Right now I feel like I can barely keep my eyes open. I wonder why that is. Dance class was okay tonight. I'm glad my instructors picked up some new stuff when they were in Vegas. Now they're not just ripping off someone's book. |

| Trip out of the office |
| 01.18.05 (12:30 pm) [edit] |
|
I went to get a prescription filled and to pick up some lunch. Parking was hellish. What I can't stand is people waiting for parking spots. They just hold up traffic, and it's not like there are no other parking spots. And why were people strolling through the stores like they had nowhere to go? It was a total obstacle course navigating through merchandise and people. I was out of the office for an hour and a half!!! In this time, I picked up a few things from a drugstore. Then I stopped at the mall to buy our group lottery tickets (the thing I hate most about my job, really) and to pick up a salad. I also took a bit of extra time and bought myself some clothes. I got a black stretchy deep v-neck t-shirt. Did I need it? No, but it was stretchy and had a deep v-neck!! I also got a white feminized white beater. I don't usually go for white tank tops just because of the nipple factor. But this one was pretty thick and had a built in bra. I also picked up a scarf...very multi-coloured and very me!! It's a happy scarf. When I was at the drugstore paying for my bath gel at the cosmetics counter, a cashier came by and started talking to the sales clerk. I really can't stand when people in the service industry are working and start chit chatting about their personal lives, especially when they're working. I don't need to hear about your shifts and how sucky they are and how working sucks. Geez, go complain in your lunch room or whever you congregate away from customers. Or quit if you hate your job so much. And another thing. One of the Marketing people asked me to look over the content of a brochure as a pair of fresh eyes. I pointed out everything that was poorly written English...you know, stuff about punctuation, modifiers, consistency, etc. She decided not to use most of my suggestions. :lol: I'm glad she didn't feel too possessive of her work. Sometimes people take it as a personal attack when it's their writing that needs improvement. There was one sentence in there with an "it" that was describing our product, but in the sentence the "it" was referring to our company. She decided not to use my suggested rewrite because "people will know what we're talking about." |

I must get there asap when I'm in Hong Kong...Tiffany and Apple...all together living in harmony. I think my cousin Queenie and I will enjoy ourselves there immensely. Cosmetics and clothes - you can't go wrong with that...And you mustn't forget the electronics!! And accessories for said electronics, too. I can't tell if I am fighting my cold or not, but if it wins, I don't think it will last very long. It's pouring here again today, but I am *loving* the warm temperatures. Last night I was thinking whether I'd get in touch with Tom and Eva when I'm in Hong Kong. I was there for their wedding last year. I should call them and say hi. Tom's been horrible at keeping in touch :P I won't have much time in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, my mom let on to my one of my aunts that I would be in town, which means I will have to see her. Actually, I don't even mind that. What am I talking about? I tried to give her money the last time I saw her, but my money was no good. :lol: Last night I was sooo not looking forward to going to my lapdancing workshop, but I am glad I went. After I was done, I felt really energised (so energised that I could not fall asleep right away...or maybe it was the diet ginger ale?) Anyway, the workshop was pretty much directed at those who had dancing for a partner in mind...I was just there to check things out. Thanks for the reminder that I won't be lapdancing for anyone any time soon!! I did ask the P Man if I could borrow a shirt and tie for next week. It's all part of the routine. He called me when I was trying to sleep. I asked him if he called to curse at me some more; he said no and that he was in a bad mood earlier. I guess he was; he's not usually like that with me. I didn't have much to say to him. Actually, I usually don't. Meetings and people asking for favours - why didn't these come up when I didn't have a deadline? That's just weird. Last night's 24 was not so exciting. They did not explain how Jack got out of the roadblock. And I am sorry that Chloe left. Erin's daughter is annoying. I bet Heller and his daughter will make it. But Growing up Gotti was funny. I laughed out loud. The boys are punks but so sweet to their mom for her birthday. I like when guys are nice to their moms. |

I hung up on the P Man. I am feeling too unwell to put up with much today, and he definitely tried my patience. He called me asking if he could stop by [my work] and see me. I said sure, even though I am quite busy right now and was going to leave soon anyway. He had some time to kill before playing hockey. He figured he'd come by and say hi since getting together tonight is not possible. He was asking me which way to go, and I gave him directions according to where I thought he was. He mentioned a restaurant, which can be seen from 3 streets (think of three sides of a square). I thought he was on the main street but who the heck knows. He ended up not where he wanted to be. Then he started swearing...:roll: So I said, "bye," and he was like, "what?!" I said he was being rude. And then he called me a "fucking egghead" for not being to give him the right directions. I hung up on him. Geez. And this is coming from someone who got mad at me for saying "thanks a fucking lot." |

I think one of the very few times that guys go to the bathroom together is to smoke up. When would you ever hear a guy say to another guy, "hey, do you want to go to the bathroom with me?" Anyway, I was coming back to my desk just now, and I was thinking about the party this weekend. My pipe had come in handy. Anyway, I was sitting around in a bathroom with 5 guys and we started joking around. And that is how the title of this blog came to be. |

For those Googling to find nude cartoon characters and movie stars, why don't they use the Google Image search?! There is no nudity at this blog. I have a week of nothingness planned aside from being where I have to be. I want early bedtimes. Tonight I have a dance workshop to attend. Tomorrow night is another dance class. I might start my packing this week, too. What I'd like to do most is have a clean home. I need to vacuum and clean my bathroom. But 24 is on tonight. And Growing up Gotti. And tomorrow is Scrubs. I just want to not be sick. I might skip the gym :( Ooh, gotta check out when Smallville is on again. And just for my own records... P Man called me yesterday afternoon. When we talked, he suggested I call him later that day. I gave him only a maybe because I didn't think I'd want to talk to him again that day. Is that silly? I didn't want to say "yeah, I'll call" and not do it. I didn't want to say "no," which I've done before, and then have him all choked. So I didn't call him, but he called me late at night. Thank goodness I was in the shower. Since he didn't leave a message, I didn't return his calls. Today I figured I'd just call him later this afternoon, but he already called me again. It hurts to talk right now. Oh yeah, I gave him a hard time (jokingly) about Saturday night because he had suggested I call him later that night and maybe we could get together. I suggested he pick me up from Paula's party, and he said sure. Not that I really expected to happen, but I did give him a call after I got home but there was no answer. (But he did call me [back] while I was sleeping.) So now I just say he ditched me Saturday night, and he says we didn't have definite plans, and I would have not have liked seeing him all drunk anyway since he would have just passed out. He used to call me while drunk and want to see me. And usually I would see him. His new year's resolution has been changed from not drinking at all (yeah, right) to only getting drunk twice a month. :roll: Is there not just a time when people decide to stop drinking to get drunk and just drink to enjoy having a couple? Paula keeps saying to me "he is so in love with you!" :lol: When I was driving home from my mom's for dinner (and for once, I didn't rush out of there, which was nice), I passed by Paula's (old) street. It was kind of sad. She moved back to her mom's place this past weekend since she sold her place in preparation to go traveling for a year. It was nice having her within walking distance. *sniff* |

Geez...I am getting sick *again*. Of course I am trying to fight it. *siiiigh* If it wins, I'd better be better before my trip!! This morning, my alarm clock went off at 7:30 am, and I was wondering why it was still so dark. I thought it was from the gloomy weather, which by the way...I am sooo glad for. Heavy rain here always seems to lift my spirits. I pressed the snooze button a few times, and when the radio came back on, I listened to the new for a bit, and the DJ said, "the time is now 6:01." :shock: Once again, my clock had moved forward. To my relief I didn't have to get up yet, but I did reset my clock, and tried to get the most of what sleep I had left. Man, my throat is irritated. |

I was supposed to go to the Everything to do With Sex Show today, but it got too late because we spent too much time shopping!! I think if I look at another piece of jewellery today I will puke. I almost bought myself a pair of earrings today. They'd definitely have been an investment. I will mull over it over the week. I wish I was rich. I am awfully tired today. My appetite's gone all weird again. Maybe I still just recovering from last night. I haven't heard from my speed daters. I don't know if I will contact them. The P Man called me early this afternoon. Since I didn't answer the phone, he left a voice message. In it he said he hoped I wasn't ignoring him :? Anyway, he was at a club last night and got really drunk. I am still letting things fizzle out. I keep asking him if he is dating. Oh! One really weird thing that is going on...Whenever I attempt to turn on my humidifier in my room, it makes the power go out in my room. I'm not sure what to do about this. I want to use a humidifier. I haven't tested it in other rooms. I was thinking there wouldn't be a point since I only want to use the humidifier in my room. But I should find out if it's the humidifier or some funky wiring thing. |

I don't think I want any more ganja for the rest of the year. I guess I will be back to normal tomorrow, hopefully. Last night was Paula's party. It was kind of boring because everyone was just standing around. There was pretty much no furniture in there since she moved everything she wanted to keep yesterday. Dante was not there. Oh well. There was quite a bit of snow yesterday, but I think a lot got rained away! Hurrah! (Sorry Ryan!) I took some photos of our fountain last night; I hope they turn out. Yesterday is coming back to me. I could've slept in some because the movers were late. After I helped out Paula for a couple of hours, I went to work. WHen I couldn't take the freezing temperatures in the office and I was starting to get the shakes from being hungry, I went home. After that, I made a quick trip out to get a birthday present and some dinner. It was so good to fall into bed and go to sleep. Even the tea I had yesterday afternoon had no effect! Wee! I got woken up by my phone half an hour later though. I didn't have the energy to get up to see who it was or what. It was a pretty lame Saturday. |

I've been helping Paula move. When I told my mom I was helping her move, she asked why didn't she help me move. In fact, why didn't any of my friends help? Anyway, last night we moved some stuff, and then we went back to my place and watched Anchorman. My place still smells of buttery popcorn. After they left, the P Man called me. He came over for a bit, and then I passively kicked him out after. I kept telling him I had to get up early, so he said he was going to leave. I am glad I didn't get upset over it. But I could have slept in for a bit today since Paula's movers were late. Now I'm at work...but I haven't been very productive so far. It's freezing cold. And I keep surfing. I guess finding out the deadline was going to shift a week didn't crack that whip for me. And it's frustrating hunting for code. You'd think that the code in the latest release would encompass code changes from the last release, but no. There are two different versions of the file with the same name that are supposed to be for the same product. Make sense? I thought so. |

As much as I would *love* to have a pink iPod mini (or even an iPod), I have decided the iPod photo is at the top of my list. My goal is to get one while I am abroad. Right now I can even get it engraved for free. Would it be too lame to have my name engraved on it? Or maybe it'd be handier to have my email address on there :P I will have to think of something witty. They come in 40 GB and 60 GB sizes...I wonder if 40 GB would be enough? Their dimensions are the same. I might as well make good use of its physical space. An iPod photo would be more suitable for me since I love taking photos!! Too bad it only comes in white. And too bad it's kind of thick, comparatively speaking. And I have a grease stain from my bacon McGriddle on my goose down jacket. I have always been sooo careful with that jacket :( Maybe i can take a trip to the down place when i'm abroad as well. I am already thinking of shopping 'til I drop. How do I get out that stain?! :x |

*ring ring* Me: Good afternoon. Rosie speaking. Dad: Hello. When did your mother decide she was going to Hong Kong? Me: I don't remember *lying* Dad: Was it before or after I talked about driving you? Me: I don't remember...You're calling me [at work] to talk about this? *mumbles* Dad: What? Me: Nothing. Dad: Why didn't you tell me your mother was going to Hong Kong before when we talked about rides on the 27th before? Me: Isn't it the same if I tell you now? Dad: Why didn't you say anything about it before instead of giving me a "maybe" about going to the airport. You never tell me anything. *sigh* That's all. *click* :roll: What is the big deal? What big plans did he have in his head? I'm not leaving for another 10 days. Did I screw up his schedule somehow? Did he want me, his "friend" and me to all have a happy meal before we jetted off to Hong Kong like a family? Was he going to give some big news? He's already told me many times that his "friend" hates my mother. Is he worried that his "friend" will fly off the handle because my mom will also be on that flight? This just totally triggered a memory. My mom fired this woman back in the day. Maybe it was shortly or before the firing that this woman paid a visit to our home. She came over to put on a show about not having anything to do with my father. My dad let her in and just watched this woman berate my mother in our home. He seemed to enjoy the spectacle. I didn't want to get involved so I stayed in my room. I remember thinking that if I was my mom, I would have told this woman to get lost or called the police. She was just ranting and raving in our living room. This was quite a few years ago. |

Although I still can't get to my first posts, I did retrieve my old posts from December. I haven't tried lately but whenever I went into the archives, it just seemed like I could only retrieve the last 10 entries for the month. I used the search and got to my old posts. So after MUCH clicking and copying and pasting, my archives have now been updated into my document. I hadn't planned on going out for lunch today but I met up with the P Man at Subway. I don't know what it is with subs, but they sure make me thirsty. I wonder if it's from the MSG in the meats or something. Yestereday I had Quizno's, and I felt so thirsty. And now today... I haven't actually seen the P Man since the weekend. I am glad I am not pining over him anymore. Out of sight, out of mind works well. I also got my matches from speed dating. One of them I remember because he and I went to the same school, but we were in different programs. I thought he was short, but he said he was 5'10". I don't think I am remember someone different?? The other I don't really remember. I think the note that I wrote down for him was "traveler." Kelly and I got the same match for one. I suggested we both date him to close the circle. Kira and she have dated the same guy. Kira and I have dated the same guy. Now it's just mine and Kelly's turn. :P She already wrote him off saying he was too young, but she'd up for playing games. I wouldn't feel comfortable with that! |

| Oooh competition |
| 01.14.05 (8:54 am) [edit] |

One of my friends linked me to another local group who teach pole dancing. They seem way more professional but are just starting out. The group of instructors already have experience in the biz, I think. I would love to check these guys out to compare. They also charge more though. Finally, my original dance instructors have some competition. I've lost my enthusiasm for the claases and even having taken a month hiatus, I don't feel all that excited to go back. Perhaps I'll take a break after this session even though taking a break will be detrimental to what I've already learned. Also, they're mostly teaching beginner classes, too, and don't seem to know where their heads are at for the people they've been teaching for over almost a year now. I just don't feel like I'm making progress. But then again, I haven't been practising at home, either. There are just some moves where it'd be better if I had a spotter!! |

| Boning and boners |
| 01.13.05 (10:30 am) [edit] |
|
Which of the terms came first? Do they call it boning because a boner is involved? Or do they call it a boner because boning is involved? This is something that came to my mind while I was driving back to the office from the doctor's. She was unusually cheery today, making conversation and all that. Usually I am yelling after her with questions when she leaves the room. In a few months I'll go for some cholesterol testing. She asked me if I had changed my diet at all. I told her no because I haven't. I rarely eat fried food or foods high in saturated fat. My diet mostly consists of fruits and vegetables. I did cut down on the turkey breast cold cuts. And I exercise regularly. So...where do I know you from, reader from Birmingham, Alabama, USA? |

I slept really well last night. I think it helps when I close my bathroom door. Anyway, I started using a humidifier in my bedroom. I haven't used electric heaters in a long time, and I'm finding my room to be rather dry. I'm really hungry right now, but I still haven't eaten. Last night my dinner consisted of a package of peanut M&Ms, 2 cucumber sticks, 2 tomato wedges, 2.5 slices of cheese, 1 slice of apple, 1 canteloupe chunk, and 2 pieces of bread with bruschetta. There was a lot of onion in that bruschetta. I can still taste it today. The sidewalks were so icey, and I hate hills. Kelly's car got stuck on a patch of ice when she was trying to leave her parking spot. It took about 15 minutes to get out. She called her friend Colin to help rescue us. The poor Civic in front of us (on the decline) got a few dings. I almost slid right past the car while walking towards it. Good thing for door handles. I think one of the speakers in my car is going. It has that muffley sound, and I have to turn up the volume to hear. This morning there was some LInkin Park on the radio. I can't remember the name of the song, but it always makes me think of James. He used to say they sucked, but I'd make him sing that song. Speed dating was mentally exhausting. Keeping the energy going for so many people is tiring. I spent 3 minutes with each person (24 times). Sometimes the time would go by really quickly, and other times...you just kind of wished they'd ring the bell. There was one programmer that my friends and I all agreed he had a horrible attitude. He was a general downer and I had nothing to say to him. He had horrible smoker's breath, too, and his gum chewing could not hide it. There were a couple of cuties...some were into yoga...some were into triathlons...some had weak handshakes...some had lisps...and some seemed to think my eyes fell down to my chest. There was a guy I discounted because of his breath. I kind of regret it now. Then there's this other guy I wish I did discount because he's been going to doubleyourdating.com. We were in the same program at school, and we knew some of the same people. And *then* I remembered how much he stunk in class. I'll find out if I made any matches in a day or two, but there wasn't anyone that made me go oooh. Kelly and Kira thought the Asian guys were the most polite and nicest. I never really noticed, but I guess it wouldn't surprise me. :wink: |

Work is going to be *very* busy before I head off for vacation. There is a software release at the end of the month, and first they said they wouldn't ship any new documentation with it :shock: But now they've changed their minds. So...I have to do a few months work in about 2 weeks. I guess I will be putting in extra hours very soon; this will make up for all the past slack time. I just heard some new Queen of the Stone Age new single, and the DJs are talking about the cow bell Will Ferrel skit from SNL. Too funny, and now that's all I'll think about when I hear the song again. I like the song!! This morning on the radio, they were talking about this book written by a woman. I think the book is called somthing like [u]Happy Hook-up[/u]. It's a book of tips on teaching women how to get casual sex and to treat it like men...since women Speaking of hooking up, I was supposed to see the P Man last night after he went to his counseling session. His relationship with his father needs working on, and they're actually going to try to do something about it. It ended up being late, so he didn't swing by. But he kept wanting me to go over to his place. I'm proud to say I stayed in my own warm bed. My body was just exhausted last night. Even though I tried going to sleep early (I was in bed before 11 pm!!) I still felt awake. I was tired all day from not getting enough sleep the night before, and then I had an appointment with my trainer after work. I am way too easy on myself when I do my workouts. She made my right leg feel like jelly. It hurts to step on the gas pedal today. I miss not having weekly training sessions. I can't even do stuff I used to be able to do. But then again, I still have retained my strength. I talked to Tara last night, and we did our usual catching up. I need to update my long-distance calling plan. I hardly make International calls anymore, and my mom's not using my line to make her long-distance calls, either. I can't remember where I was going with this topic, so I'll stop now. So now my mom is definitely going ot Hong Kong, too. This means I am going to have to change plans with my dad. He's not going to like hearing that I won't be taking his "friend's" luggage and that I won't be hanging out with them. My mom thinks his "friend' is manipulating him into having a bad relationship with me, and then he can be all hers (or at least all his money and possessions). Oh, I remember where the Tara thing was going. For the first time, I told her I had a blog...but only because I wanted to tell her that people I wasn't expecting to read it were indeed reading it. Seems like my friends who don't spend a lot of time on the Internet find the whole concept of blogging really strange. "So you have a journal on the 'net, and anyone can read it?" "Why put it there if you don't want people reading it?" People keep bookform journals...if you saw someone's lying around, would you read it? I guess it seems like because something is on the Internet, it's public property? Then why are words and graphics copyrighted? Obviously I don't mind that much if people read my blog; otherwise, I wouldn't keep blogging. What I do mind is when people go looking for me doing searches and then come back to keep reading, especially if they don't let me know that they're doing it. I guess I haven't mentioned that I have another Web page whose URL I tell others. So the individuals who've looked me up on the Internet...have gone above and beyond what I've given them. I'm going speed dating tonight. |

| Geeks vs. nerds |
| 01.11.05 (9:41 am) [edit] |
|
Do you think there's a difference? I think nerd has a worse connotation. I don't like nerds, but I love geeks. I'm losing touch with them, though. I'm losing touch with the techie world!!! I went into Eletronics Boutique last week with the P Man, and the store just smelled of BO...made me think of a gamer holed up in his room playing for hours on end. The P man said the store smelled like nerds. Why did I find it so hysterical? One of the times I saw the tarot card reader she suggested date people other than geeks. I've tried that, and I still think I am more comfortable with techie geeks. They usually know the ins and outs of the cool toys. And at least they can point me in the direction of cheap computer parts. I am still thinking of getting an iPod mini...but then an iPod is not that much more. I just don't want something too big. I don't know if I should just get one while I'm in Hong Kong. It would cost me a little less, but all my music is here. I wouldn't be able to use the iPod 'til I got home...unless I could borrow some from my cousins. I should be getting an AudioBug at some point, and this way I can play MP3s on my stereo and more importantly, in the car!! Oh right...yesterday, my tshirthell t-shirt arrived. I guess this time it was on schedule. It took 10 days!! I'll have to wait 'til it shrinks a bit before it will look hot on me :P Maybe I will wear it this weekend. It will be Paula's last weekend at her home before she moves home, and she's throwing a party. The P man asked me if he could go. I told him no. We're due for more snow this afternoon. I was in such a hurry to get to work this morning that I forgot to make my sandwich. I was wondering why my lunch bag looked so bare. I guess I will go home and make it now and hurry back. My workload has increased!! |

This girl I know has forever been talking about getting married and having loads (okay, like 4) of kids. She got married in the summer, and has found that being married is not all flowery as she imagined. She just assumed the transition would be really easy since she and her husband had been together for so long (but not living together). So in the half year they've been married, they've been fighting a lot and she's wondering "who *is* this guy? What did I get myself into?" And now she's hoping to be pregnant by the end of the year. I just think it'd be better to sort out their problems before adding another family member into the picture. |

Spoilers in this blog entry if you haven't seen House of Flying Daggers or 24. New Motley Crue song [u]If I Die Tomorrow[/u]. YES! Auto tag-adding in tBlog not working. BOOOO [u]House of Flying Daggers[/u] Entertaining. Tragic. Movie blooper in a bleeding scene. There were different amounts of blood coming from Mei's mouth in different shots. The guy who played Jin was hot. The movie was in memory of Anita Mui, which I thought was nice. I guess. The only close tie she had with anyone in the movie was Andy Lau who played Leo. He was one of her pallbearers at her funeral. Last night's episode of [u]24[/u] GEEZ! Sometimes I just wonder what Jack is thinking. I thought holding up the store was really stupid. And I love Beirooz's mom's character. We all knew Debbie had to die. Poor girl...silly lovesick girl :wink: Maryanne was on Friends; I think I will like her character. I wonder if this is the end for Chloe. And maybe Erin is such a bitch because of her schizo daughter. I wonder if they'll tie her daughter into the show somehow. I am so tired today. After I got home from the movie I watched 24. I wanted to watch it because I am going to lend the tape to my boss. And he's not even in the office today!!!! |

| Cheated by my bread |
| 01.10.05 (9:08 am) [edit] |

Last week, there was this harvest grain raisin bread on sale, so I bought a loaf to give it a whirl, and I *loved* it. I love raisin bread, but I usually avoid buying it because I avoid as much white bread as possible. Give me bread with squirrely bits, but not too much. I bought a 20-grain loaf of bread, and I hate it. Too many grains, I guess. Last night I bought that same harvest grain raisin bread, and it was disappointing. Not enough grain!! Too much bread matter!! My fridge is pretty bare right now. I've lost the urge to meal plan and food shop. But my freezer is full of frozen vegetables and meats and desserts. I have a few boxes of Lean Cuisine, too. They're kind of gross but will do when I am short on time. The only joy to food shopping for one is that it prevents me from buying pastries. I love pastries, but I am not going to buy half a dozen of danishes. And I couldn't be bothered to make a separate trip to a real bakery to buy this kind of stuff. This past weekend I was really craving a cocktail bun from those Chinese bakeries. Last night, we (well, my mom) called up my aunt in Aussie to see when everyone was going to be in HK. So far my cousin Queenie is booked to go back home on the 4th and on the waiting list for the 6th. So much for partying two weekends in a row :wink: My aunt is also leaving that early. When my mom asked her why she wasn't staying longer since she was there anyway, my said she'd have to go home to take care of my cousin, Queenie. She's turning 30. :lol: My cousins are totally pampered at home (Well, Toby's married now so my aunt doesn't do all this stuff for him). Quite different to when I was living at home. I started making my own lunches for school when I was 9? My aunt still packs my cousin lunch. I remember when we went out for dinner last year and my cousin was too busy to come out, so my aunt picked through the dinner for her next day's lunch before anyone even got a chance to eat!! I find that in North America, people get looked down upon if you're still living with your parents by the time you reach your 20s. In a lot of other cultures, you're expected to live with your parents until you marry (or die, I guess). I used to be embarrassed to tell people I was living with my parents because they'd think I'd have it really easy or something. Or like I hadn't really grown up or something (well, that sounds kind of stupid but never mind). It's like they think my mom was my built-in maid or something. No, she didn't prepare my lunches or do my laundry or clean my room or any of that kind of stuff. Yes, I lived rent-free. I didn't hate living at home. If I could bring guys home any time, maybe I'd still be living there :P Actually relatives of mine who thought I was crazy to move out...they thought I was giving up something great. That and I was deserting my mother. I guess that's how it goes...make me feel like it's going to be awful moving out (who will do your laundry? Um, that would be me...something I've been doing for the last decade...). And if that didn't work, lay on the guilt (your mom will be all alone)! Anyway, enough rambling. My butt is sore from running yesterday, and my fingers are freezing cold!! |

I hate them. Just like that hockey game. I taped it, and now I will probably never watch it since I already found out the outcome. Whenever anyone talks to me about movies, I don't want to hear any details at all...I don't want my movie experience tarnished!! Same goes for TV shows. So in return, I'm always very vague about things I watch. Last night I watched the premier of 24. I'd like to go into lots and lots of details about it, but I won't. Okay, maybe I will. So stop reading if you don't want your 24 viewing experience tarnished. Here goes... 1. Chloe's charming personality is still there. 2. The guy with the lisp...what happened to Adam? I've seen him in something else before, too. 3. Chloe is looking a little more glamourous with her blonder streaks and eye makeup. 4. I want the old president back. 5. I think they will keep Jack's new woman for the whole season. They can't have him lose another girlfriend! 6. The bisexual art teacher from Six Feet Under is one of the terrorists. 7. I think the woman at CTU is Sarah. I can't stand her. 8. There are still elements of suspense like the past seasons!! I think I am going to like this one. Last season was my least favourite. 9. And hopefully Kim will not make an appearance this season at all!!! :D 10. They didn't go into what happened to Tony, but why did his wife leave the biz, too?? |

It was an okay day. I had to wake up early to get my hair done. My hairdresser has turned pricey on me. And she was running late even though I was her second client of the day. :roll: Had I known she was running late, I could have stayed in a bed a bit longer since the P man and I were up late arguing/talking. After I got back from my hair appointment, I ate breakfast and sat at the computer MSNing for a bit. That's where I asked the P Man if he wanted to come over. I wanted to do some more talking. I thought I was ready to explain my behaviour to him. Long story short, he didn't want to talk, so he didn't come over. I was a little choked about that because *he* was the one who said we'd finish the conversation later. I napped for a bit and watched some TV before I got ready to head out. While I was getting ready, the P Man phoned me, which was a surprise. The last time we spoke, he asked me to call him later. Sometimes I think he's in the picture because he enjoys the thrill of the chase even though he says that's not it. Oh, and he was choked that I did not get him anything for Christmas. So I picked up Paula and we headed over to Erin and Randy's. Erin was Paula's roommate for 3 years, and she just moved in with her boyfriend. More people showed up, we hung out, had some birthday cake, and then we headed out to a bar to have some food and drinks and do some dancing. I wasn't really feeling it last night and was kind of bored. The P Man called me around 11:30 but I missed his call and he didn't leave a message. I sent him a "whatup dawg" text message, and he replied with "chillin pimp." And then he called me again when I was driving Paula home around 2 am or so. He asked me to call him after I dropped off Paula, but he called me back before I got the chance. He swung by and we talked about him for a bit. He thinks the chip on his shoulder is impeding his happiness. At least he knows he has a big ego. His problem is that he doesn't think a lot of things out there is good enough for him. At least he wants to get over that. He saw the shirt I was wearing last night. It has two XML tags on my chest, saying Then he rushed me to go to bed. We snuggled for a bit and after I got something out of it, we went to sleep. When he got out of bed and went to the bathroom, I thought he was going to leave like he's pretty much always had, but he didn't. I was shocked. I don't know why he stayed. He left after we woke up, and we didn't fight. That was my yesterday. |

How long was tblog down yesterday? I started blogging somewhere else. I was rather upset Friday night. Friday all day long was good. In the evening, Paula and I went downtown to have some dinner with Kira. We were at the restaurant for a few hours, just talking and stuff. Of course we talked about the P Man for a bit. He called me twice during the evening, and then I noticed he sent me a text message after I got home. He came over, and then we fought. It was very upsetting. I was in tears (but not a lot). Then we talked some more on the phone afterwards and when he was feeling really tired around 3 am, we hung up. At some point, he told me [again] that I'm a really cold person. I know I can be when it comes to guys. I need to know the coast is clear before I warm up. It's probably why I'm a lot nicer to people I don't know or guys I'm not interested in. Anyway, he said we'd talk about it more tomorrow...but then when tomorrow came, he didn't feel like it. Not that I really felt like it. I just don't understand why we fight so much. We talk and never resolve anything. Well, maybe that is an exaggeration. The little things that I don't like and tell him...he makes an effort to appease me. |

| Hungry already? |
| 01.07.05 (1:18 pm) [edit] |
|
I met up with the P Man at 1:30 at the mall and we grabbed some lunch. Since I knew I was going out for dinner I decided to have something light. Then we walked around the mall a bit, and I came home. 1.5 hours later, and I am hungry!!! Maybe I will have a delicious slice of harvest grain raisin bread toast. I thought he hated shopping (well, like a lot of guys I guess), but when I told him I saw a shirt I was going to try on, he mentioned that *we'd* have to see it. Walking around the mall with him was a pleasant surprise. I did leave the soonest I could though. I was not in a mall mood. We checked out a jacket for him, but then he had to go to the bank. As we were going there, he said, "you don't have to come with me if you don't want to," so I said, "okay." He was like, "really?" And I said, "yeah." So we said bye, and he said he'd call me later. Anyway, the shirt that I tried on...*sigh* It didn't fit because I wasn't flat chested enough. It fit perfectly everywhere else. It had a plunging neckline in the front, like down to my stomach, and it had a deep plunge in the back - very sexy. Unfortunately, my boobs would've been hanging out. I love plunging necklines!! And now that my relatives have all left, my mom is kind of lonely. She is trying to persuade me to go to her place for dinner Sunday or any day really. Sunday = 24 Season 4 premier @ 8 pm. There is another 2 hour episode on Monday night!!! *sigh* She was like "you could just watch the show at my place!" I'd rather watch it at home. If I go to her place for dinner, I will end up taping the show, which will make for a later Sunday night :? I don't want to take up her Chinese TV viewing either. |

When I'm at home, I rarely turn on my computer's speakers. I just couldn't be bothered to reach over and press the button. I also hate how cheap and light the speakers are. Every time I press the button, I end up moving the speaker. Then I have to move it back. Who wants to put up with that? Well, I finally turned them on today because there are some movie clips I needed to view with volume. I checked out some clips my cousin Ed took at our cousin Toby's wedding. Talk about making me want to gag! You see the happy couple canoodling in some park. BLEH! :lol: It's amazing how much effort people put into weddings. My cousin learned how to play the piano and dance for his. He was also late to his own wedding. That is so typical of the family. And now they are somewhat shamed. His MIL is apparently a very scary woman. And her family has already had the Hong Kong banquet (they got married in Australia and had the first celebration there). They had it right after the wedding. Fast forward two months later, and it's the groom's turn to have a banquet in Hong Kong for the groom's side of the family. Harold and Kumar may have to wait after all. I need to get ready to go out for lunch now, and then I'm heading out tonight. I may be bussing, or I may be driving. |

| Oh mummy |
| 01.07.05 (9:08 am) [edit] |

My mom was in Hong Kong back in November and she had not planned on going again this month. But everyone's been trying to persuade her to go. My mom can be quite the excuse queen..."I was just there," "flight prices have just gone up," "I can't leave work." Her sister-in-law offered to pay the flight difference...my little 9 year old cousin spent hours one night trying to get her go...I threw in my 2 cents a couple of times. I mean why would you pass up a chance to see family when you rarely see them?? Anyway, my uncle booked her a flight and told her after the fact. I was thrilled!! Now she says she'll think about it. "I will still have to pay him back!" No she won't. She is a little worried about money, but not that worried. She paid for my plane ticket!! I could always pay her back :P I think she will go now. But she still says things like "well, I won't go unless we can get our seats together." :lol: Actually there is more incentive for her to go now because she think it will piss off my dad to be on the same flight as his "friend". But it occurred to me that now I will only have to get my cousin Edmund one gift since I won't be staying at his place. I'm going to get him some cigar accessories. AND there's a cigar bar in my hotel!! I would like to check that out. I am such a cigar newbie. And with duty free, I will have to pick up some liquor and cigars. YES YES YES! |

I once said that I'd like to have a fern and an aloe plant before I die. I think I might have said I would attempt to keep them alive, too. So now I have both. I water them maybe once every 2 - 3 weeks. I am not taking very good care of them. I don't even know much water they need!! I'm expecting a day of solitude today, so I am going to walk to a video store later and pick up [u]Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle[/u]. Not that I enjoy watching movies by myself, but I don't think there is anyone out there who wants to see but hasn't seen it yet. Actually I am supposed to go out tonight. Well, I was suppposed to. But the road conditions just aren't all that prime right now. Snow is fine, but it's the ice I am scared of!! I don't know what's going to happen. It's supposed to be a thing to celebrate Kira's birthday. I have a gift all ready for her. I just need to wrap it. I need to wrap Erin's gift, too. Her birthday thing is tomorrow. |

Well, he ended up coming by, which I did not expect. I don't know what was up with that. Twenty minutes after my last post...my phone rang. He was downstairs, so I let him in. "I thought you said you weren't coming over." "No, I said I was coming right over." *shakes head* I know he didn't say that, and he knew it, too. I still changed into what I was going to show him, and he liked it. And for that, he said I was too nice to him, and which I readily agreed. But he said I was mean to him, too, and his definition of mean is still way off. He brought us back to New Year's Day when I pissed him off by talking about weed and threesomes. That was me being mean :lol: But I do say things knowing that they'll piss him off. Sometimes I just don't know how much. :wink: Talking about me and weed. Bad. Talking about me and threesomes. Bad. Talking about any threesomes. Bad. I didn't think the last point would be bad!! But I am tired and now I am just rambling. I still need to reply to that email and then go to bed. |

No company tonight. I had asked him if he wanted to drop by on his way home from work. He said maybe and would call me later. I just talked to him. He suggested getting a movie and for me to pick it up while he was going to get gas and swing by. I said no [wtf would I make a trip to a video store to have a movie waiting for him while he was supposed to be coming by anyway?]...and told him to pick up a movie while he was also getting gas since it would be on his way, and for some odd reason, he didn't want to pick up the movie. Quite frankly, I've done the movie picking up just about every time. Why do I always have to do it? First he said he had no card, and then he said he couldn't get movies anymore because he didn't return them. To me, it seems like he doesn't want to pay or something. I'm not exactly in the mood for a movie tonight. I only wanted one thing. :roll: He seemed a little cranky, too. I don't think he has quite forgiven me for saying he didn't have his shit together. He made some crack about it. "Who wears the suits to work? Only people with their shit together wear suits." And then he made a joke that I should be paying him for action. He's a good time, but not worthy of paying for :P So he made it sound like he wasn't coming over because of me not wanting to pick up a movie. Meh. Whatever. I picked up a 10 pack of double A batteries. today. |

Lovely boss of mine doesn't want his employees taking any chances when snow comes. I brought home some work a couple of days ago, and I will make use of it tomorrow!! Maybe I will go into work. Driving home was great. The roads were cleared, but I *know* it's going to be very icey soon. We won't even be reaching 0' C tonight, and the roads were very wet earlier. My trainer postponed our session, which was fine. She didn't want to take any chances with her baby on the way! I decided not to drive to the gym, and I had a workout at home. I did some dance class type warmups and some stuff on the pole and then some regular workout exercises with the band. My exercise ball needs more air, but I couldn't get the nubby thing out. I was also afraid of breaking a nail. I am eating the best couscous right now. I am actually quite hungry, and I think I am getting my appetite back. Er rather, I am not feeling nauseated after I eat. I broiled some chicken boobs tonight, and I did some laundry too. I also turned on the heat in my home. I will watch some TV tonight. Maybe I will have some company. If I do, I know exactly what I am going to wear!!! He called me twice today; what was up with that? Time to reply to an email. |

I wish I had a laptop. I found out I will be staying at a hotel when I'm in Hong Kong, and they offer free broadband!!!!! The hotel will quite nice...I'll be sharing the suite with my cousins. And there's a 24 gym...free!!!! I am excited. There's also some 24- hour Internet corner. I wonder if that's free. My big thing will be transfering photos somewhere!!! Hopefully I won't need to and can keep all my photos on my flashcards. That's 768+ MB worth! And I'd better not lose my camera again this time. :shock: What I"m not excited about is that I think I might be getting sick again. I saw the P Man last night, and I thought he was past his contagious stage. We got our first snowfall of the year. We get so little snow here that nobody knows how to drive in it. Regularly it takes me about 10 minutes to drive to work. Today it took about 40 minutes. There was a lot of congestion and people without winter tires. My car is already bad enough in the snow ('stang), but I was doing better than a couple of others. I'm going back home after the meeting. Hopefully there won't have been a lot of snow accumulated on my car. I should have brought some gloves and maybe a toque. I forgot about the driving home part. I have an appointment at the gym later today. I think I will go to that. I'm supposed to be going to a couple of birthday things this weekend. I hope the roads are clear. Paula has already instructed me to not drive if it snows. I'm not sure my city did a very good job of having the roads clear. Maybe it's because there wasn't enough snow, but they could've at least salted more. Things are going to get really icey. Maybe later, I will go take some pics!! But I need to make sure to stay warm. |

...to copy my blog entry before I publish it. So I lost my last one. It was brilliant and it was about running. I'm going to be running on a treadmill in about 2 hours, but I am still stuffed. Today I will also give my hips a good stretch since I'm still stiff from a couple of days ago. |

A few people (who run a few tech sites) I used to associate with are all off to Vegas for this weekend for CES. All the partying and men would be most delicious. And they'd all be geeky. :D But alas, everytime I've come back (okay, the two times that I did go with them), there was always drama. I do kind of wish I was there, but then again...trouble would probably just brew. The first (and last) time I was at CES, I had to share a room with these two guys from one Web site. One of them still had a thing for me. I was so irritated the whole trip because he was always following me around. And then he kept trying to get physically close to me. He refused to share a bed with the other guy!! And he was constantly trying to massage me. And then the other guy was having stomach problems one night, so off to the bathroom he went. He left a nice surprise in the bowl for the next morning. The the last time I was in Vegas with these people was for Comdex 2003. A highlight was watching a Canucks Game on the big screen at ESPNZone. Actually it was a pretty good trip. It was coming home that the aftermath came to be. There was one guy from another Web site who I decided to stop hanging out with after this trip because he was a liar and quite two-faced. I don't know if he still hangs out with this girl, but often we'd talk about him, and she would also say that he was going to stop hanging out with him, too. I guess the power of the buck can be hard to resist. Not that he splurged on me, but she got lots of expensive gifts and lots of fancy meals from him. He said they were bed buddies; she said they weren't. She was on this trip, too. Anyway, their motto has always been what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. One guy from another Web site that I kind of hooked up with didn't want things staying in Vegas. It only got bad when his girlfriend went through his ICQ chat history. He wanted to continue seeing me. They almost broke up, I think. I'm glad they didn't because I would've freaked out. He was just a fling, but he was one of the better lovers I'd had :shock: We don't talk at all anymore. Well, different times...different circles. My 2004 resolution of no more taken men was successful. |

I taped the World Juniors last night since I was out for dinner. Of course I haven't watched the final game yet. But now I already know what the score is and I know how Canada played. :x GAH! And I still feel gross. At least I know it's from overeating. I hear that consuming papaya enzymes will help. Peppermint tea is to help as well. |

...knowing that people are searching for me on Google. Okay, who's the Mac user out at my one of my old schools. You were here around 6:20 pm. Did you have class or something? Actually, I am only assuming you were at one of the labs. I finally started using Firefox. When I type in this textbox, it looks like there is a backwards apostrophe at the cursor, and it makes me want to delete it. But I can't. I only downloaded Firefox for home because my stats site was taking so long to load in IE. Most of my visitors are using IE 6.x. Second most popular is Mozilla. Then it goes IE 5.x. Third is AOL :shock: Fourth is Safari. Fifth is a tie between Netscape 7.x and Opera 7.x. Last place is Konquerer. What are Safari and Konquerer? I must be my most popular visitor. |

All of a sudden, a wave of nausea washed over me. Maybe it's because of the chocolate soy milk. I don't know. I'd like to throw up, but at the same time, I wouldn't like to. I guess I ate too much tonight. Thinking about what I had for dinner could make me puke about now. Must think about something else. And I feel completely wide awake right now. This is bad. I watched a documentary on prostitution tonight. The women who were featured in it wanted to be in the biz and felt powerful. This documentary only briefly touched on the crack-whores. It was sad to see the johns get busted. Police: Whose lingerie is this? Guy: That's my wife's! That's my wife's! The poor wife. Then another guy was bawling..."I didn't know she was a cop!" As if that made things better :roll: I hope I'm feeling sick from eating too much and not because it's the start of the flu. I didn't get a shot this year, and the P Man has been sick. I saw him a few days ago, which would let the germs fester and break free about now...right? Paula's been sick and we hung out 2 nights ago. I talked to Tara tonight. It's -20'C where she is, and here I am thinking -4 is cold. :P And she is finally getting Internet at home. Fantastic!! And I gotta say, she makes a lot of sense and usually allows me to see things I don't notice. In regards to P..."for someone you're not dating, you're sure expending a lot of energy on him." When I talked to him tonight, he pointed out we hadn't seen each other in a while. I'm not sure why I found it so funny when I asked him if he missed me or was glad to have the time away. My dad's "friend" is actually still in town. In fact, we will be on the same flight to Hong Kong. :x And my dad wants me to check in another piece of luggage that is hers. I really don't want to do that. I should have just told him I was already bringing two pieces of luggage. Grr. |

I used to be more ruthless with a certain sex. As he who must not be named used to tease me and say I'd write a guy off because he chewed his food funny or something else trivial. I want to be like that again, even though if it means I write someone off too soon. My friend John read [u]He's Just Not That Into You[/u], and agreed with the author that women should up their standards. Chris MSNed me today and told me he hoped my holidays were good. Then he asked me if I still didn't want to talk to him again. And if I didn't, why didn't I block him? I told him I thought removing him would be enough. And then he told me he was only being nice. He told me he was going to remove me too, but I think he's only blocked me. By the time I had typed up something in reply, my message couldn't be delivered. Being nice would have been to leave me alone, as I had requested the last two times we talked. At least I was civil. Chris was a guy I dated, and almost always, when the dating is over, so is all contact. And just when I thought we might be able to be friends, he pissed me off. I had asked him if he'd be interested in going to see the Beastie Boys [with me]. He said yes, on the stipulation that his Internet love interest wasn't in town. In the case she was, he would go only with her. This is the love interest that he'd known for several years but never met. Something always came up at the last minute when her visits were due. One time she was actually driving here when she got so ill her uncle came and picked her up. (That last sentence was meant to be very sarcastic.) He tried to visit her, too, but she didn't meet him at the airport, or answer her door, or answer phone calls. If I were him, I would've just said no to the concert instead of "yeah, I'll go unless my Internet love interest happens to be in town and you two can't meet." I thought the mercury retrograde was over. I also got another email from James. He said he didn't make the donation to get me to write back to him. However, he did add that he is still on MSN and that if I ever wanted to chat.... I don't want to go there. It'd be silly to be only online buddies, and I wouldn't want more than that. |

Okay, so eating too many mandarin oranges are known to give people the runs. What about clementine oranges? I bought a box of them yesterday; they're sooo delicious, and I have so many. I don't want to abuse my system. I gave some away, but not enough!! I could go for some nice pb & j on toast right now. The toast would have to be thick, too. And then a thick layer of smooth peanut butter. But not too much jam. It ends up being too sweet. What's weird is that I haven't had any huge cravings for chocolate in a while. And I don't really care for nutella. I just got an email saying that we could take any "poinsettia's" from the building. Why do people keep putting apostrophes where they're not supposed to be?? |

I was over at the NBC Web site, looking for some sort of schedule...to see when Scrubs was going to be on again. They had a synopsis of the next episode, and *that* had a spelling booboo, too. "Inculin," what is that?! :roll: Yesterday I finally got around to doing some grocery shopping. The store had Cabbage Patch Kids!!! And I thought they were on sale for $18, but they were actually $36. They were about the same price about 20 years ago; I remember thinking they were really expensive back then. If they were $18, I would have bought one. There was one that had dark hair and brown almond shaped eyes...:lol: I am still on the lookout for a doll that resembles me. But then again, I don't need any more dolls!!! I was looking around my room and wondering where I could fit in another chest of drawers, should I ever need to. The only thing I could think of was to get rid of my shelf of stuffies and photo albums. Booo. I haven't signed into MSN today; this is first time I've felt this way in a long time. It should help my productivity at work. Yesterday I also bought this awesome whole grain raisin bread. Whole grains AND raisin in BREAD! You can't go wrong with that. |

Yesterday I was at a bookstore and I saw a huge hardcover travel book. It had two pages devoted to each country that you could possibly visit. I checked out what it said for Hong Kong and Canada. My conclusion was that if you wanted to really experience some non-touristy stuff to not buy that book. One suggestion for Hong Kong was to battle people on a double decker bus to sit on the top deck in the front. There are no battles anymore, unless it's rush hour. Another suggestion was to drink "bolei." Why not just say peony tea?! Or tea?? Oh and the book suggested October - December being the best time to visit. I guess they were okay about that. Not too hot then. Sometimes the winters get really cold though. And two pages for Canada wasn't enough. Each province is so different. I think each province should've gotten two pages. Seeing a lot of Canada in a week would be highly impossible and expensive!! Maybe I should start planning a trip to go cross-Canada for 2006. I want to drive or take a train. I need to start doing some research for going to England though :-) A couple of people have asked me if I'm going to see Wayne when I go, knowing that I don't talk to him anymore :roll: So why would I?! Paula was like, "but you spent so much time, money, and effort..." Bygones, I say. Oh, and I still want to get to my early December archives!! :x |

I watched another episode tonight. I noticed they did not use "its" properly in their captions more than once. :shock: How is that acceptable?! The new season starts next Monday at 9 PM. It's also the same time as 24. If I am at home, I can tape one of the shows and watch the other one. I used to watch a lot of TV as a kid. Maybe I should get back into more TV. |

I'm going to eat a banana and still do some cardio. The day is not getting any younger!! So many people are raving about [u]Napolean Dynamite[/u]. I just did not get the humour in the movie. The dancing was entertaining, but I just didn't find the movie all that funny. And a couple of nights ago, I watched part of Zatoichi. It made me think of the Kill Bill movies. I knew Quentin Tarantino wanted to copy his idols and make a movie using everything he liked. The bleeding style of his Kill Bill Vol.1 was taken right from this one (maybe it's a Japanese thing? I haven't watched other Japanese warrior type movies). He also tried to copy the old style Chinese fighting movies, too. I just don't understand why he couldn't come up with his own ideas instead of making copycat movies that fell short of the original. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the Kill Bill movies. |

It's getting so cold...I don't like when it gets below 0'C. But at least the sun is shining. I keep saying I will take walks around my area, but I've yet to do that still. Maybe springtime? :P I am going to the gym in a bit, and today I am going to do some grocery shopping. This means I'm going to have to sit down and do some meal planning. I haven't done that in over a month, I think. There is not that much to plan for since it's a short week. I kept coughing last night; I wonder what was up with that. I am still slowly clearing stuff from my room that I moved over. I can't wait 'til I can find a home for all my stuff. I think I'm going to get a skinny chest of drawers - those plastic ones, and I can put stuff in them. I think I'm going to get a jewellery box from my mom. Well, I was just killing some time waiting for my counter stats site to load up. It's been very slow the last 24 hours. I've been reading some year long astrological forecasts the past couple of days. The Georgia Nicols one was very disappointing. She did a writeup describing the personalities of the signs and then did a money forecast and a sex forecast. The personality portion was sooo...generic. Sagittarians are sooo outdoorsy...loooove animals. Sooooo not me. :lol: I am looking foreward to Tim Stephens' forecast. I got a taste of it in a local paper, but he is usually more thorough at his Web site. Oh dear. I must buy a couple of birthday presents today. |
