Last night, we saw [u]Chronicles of Narnia[/u]. The special effects were amazing! Well, except for some of the scenery behind the kids. :lol: And the beavers were just too cute. Lucy was sweet, but her nose reminded me of a pug's. I just thought the BBC version's Lucy was cute with her bucked teeth. I think she and Mr. Tumnus had something going on. And "Spar-oom" always made me laugh. But I hadn't read [u]The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe[/u] since I was 10. And this morning, I couldn't take it anymore. I needed to take action with my upstairs neighbours. I know living in a non-cement building will come with noise, and I can accept that. I hear them stomping around all the time, and on occasion they seem to have some fun gatherings! But for the last week, they've been playing with new furniture or something. Anyway, there's been A LOT of hammering, which is normally fine. But not really after 10 pm or the first thing when I wake up. Even construction workers abide by some rules!! I was just tired of the constant moving of stuff and hammering. I left them a note. I don't think it was very nasty, but I just wanted to get my point across. It's probably the same neighbours. When we all first moved in, they were hammering at midnight back then, too. And when I did the same thing, they expressed their frustration by knocking on their floors. :roll: Well, time to do some work! I am outta here in 2 hours, and then it's off to the spa for some waxing action! |

I'm not particularly proud, and I don't know what came over me. I went grocery shopping yesterday. Well, all I needed was a carton of milk, so I got it and went to the Express Lane (12 items or less, baby). And the store was busy!! There were 3 express lanes open, and there were still lineups. I think there were about 8 people ahead of me. I noticed the man in front of me had a lot of things in his cart...more than what would belong in the express lane, anyway. I casually remarked to him, "this lineup is for 12 items or less." Some people just don't realise where they're standing... He kind of looked at me and got this mad look across his face...maybe it was more of a "how dare you talk to me" kind of look. Anyway, it wasn't a look of appreciation. The conversation went like this: Man: I have 12 items. Me: This line up is for 12 individual items or less [implying not 12 different things]. Man: (counts his items...realises he's wrong). Well, if the cashier tells me to go a different lineup, then I will. (looks smug) Me: :roll: Of *course* they're not going to tell you go to a different lineup. You should respect the other customers who are waiting in line. Man: I am old enough to deserve respect. Me: And I'm old enough to follow the rules! [As an after thought, I wish I said I was old enough to count.] Man: (silence) Luckily, a new express lane lineup opened, so I left the man. Later on when I turned around, I saw him moving to another line. And he was headed towards the regular line ups. The original one we were in wasn't moving, but I still felt like I had won some battle. I just thought it was the stupidest conversation I had in the supermarket with anyone. I am a little embarrassed I made a big deal out of it, but it was the principle of it. Had the lineup been short, I wouldn't have cared. But the last thing I want to do is stand in a line of a million people and then have the person in front of me have a million things when all I have is one item. And he was no senior citizen. He was probably around my dad's age. So having him pull out the whole "old" card didn't sit well with me. Why can't people just admit when they've done something wrong?? On the other hand, I also just don't deal well with men who try to exert any sort of authority around me. And I like to get in the last word. Today, I had a 'net acquaintance ask me if I realised how important I was to him. I was flabbergasted. I just don't hold him in the same regard. Last night, Poola and I saw [u]The Producers[/u]. Man, Uma Thurman is great. It was a great movie. Too bad some kid kept getting out of his seat to walk past us a few times. And he wasn't even going to the bathroom. He'd just walk to the end of the aisle, go down the stairs, and come back to his seat. :? Am I getting a little bitchy? Do I need to get laid? The feeling has passed. Maybe it's been replaced with anger :lol: |

It's so dead in the office...I arrived past 9:30, and I still got a parking spot close to the door! When I was young, one of my favourite songs to play on the piano was the funeral march. Man, I miss my piano. I wasn't very good, but I enjoyed it! I am tired. For the past few nights, I couldn't sleep, or I wasn't sleeping well. Last night I went to bed late!! Now I feel pooped! I forgot to stretch my quads yesterday, too, so now they're quite sore. I went hard core with my workout yesterday. It was great. No more of this pansy ass plan from the physio clinic. Well, I am still being careful. I could never put my finger on why guys from Internet dating sites were bad. The light bulb came on yesterday!! There has usually been an element of dishonesty!! |

| ++Tis the season to watch movies |
| 12.26.05 (5:37 pm) [edit] |
|
[u]Syriana[/u] I missed the first 10 - 15 minutes. Maybe that's why I wasn't really sure what the *point* of the movie was. Everything I did see was riveting, but I was seriously in a fog the whole way through. [u]Brokeback Mountain[/u] I've never really been one for romance flicks. Usually they're just so cheesey with the all-too-predictable endings. But this one was just sad :cry: I really enjoyed it. I wasn't sure what to expect. Only a few things stood out to me that had no bearing on the story. There were some bad sideburns in the movie. And I wondered about Jack Twist's coat. After quite a number of years, he was still wearing it. And why did his parents live in such squalor after he became rich? Ennis' piece of pie grew. He had just about finished eating the thing, and when the camera went back to his dish, there was about half a piece left again. All the younger important female characters in the movies were played by actresses that I was used to seeing in teen movies. Michelle Williams, the Princess Diaries girl, Velma from the Scooby-doo movies, and the girl from Urban Legends (the third one). It was strange to see their boobage. There was some butt scenes, but I was wondering if I saw schlong. There wasn't enough time to tell. I'm not sure if liked Heath Ledger's acting in this movie. I'm not sure if I particularly like his acting, anyway. This movie did remind me that I am not getting any. :x I just thought it was really tragic story :( The ending made me think, but a sequel would be unnecessary. :) |

Q: Why does it take women so long to pee the morning after? A: Ever tried to *open* a grilled cheese sandwich? I think I sprained my right ring finger using a sifter yesterday. I got my face lasered. I wondered if the scent was the equipement or my flesh!! It was a little painful. I wish I had known to use the ice packs more effectively before the treatment. I'll know for next time. My face is just a little itchy in some areas right now. The itchiness will pass. I'm in such a mood for movie watching right now. I think I will go see [u]Syriana[/u] today. I'm also all caught up on watching my taped TV shows. Yesterday, we had a half day at work. It was great. I cleaned! I napped! I watched TV! I am looking foward to new episodes of The Office (mmm...Dwight) and Grey's Anatomy. And I'm just looking forward to 24, Scrubs, America's Next Top Model, and Big Brother in 2006 :) I should stop typing now. It irritates my finger :shock: |

It'd be so nice to go for a job interview. I casually asked a friend if her company was still looking for tech writers because there were a couple of job postings at the Web site. Turns out they were, and she asked me to send me over a resume "stat" :lol: She said it didn't matter if it was old, and the only one I had was about 2 years old. :? It's one thing feeling like you've met all a job description's wants, but it's another thing to show it! What a way to kick my butt into gear! As embarrassing as it is, I am going to admit to this. I'm a believer in astrology, but I am not talking about your daily horoscopes in the newspaper. And I just think at this point, any job searches I do right now will be fruitless. However, next year is looking to be very exciting!! I'm kind of in a foggy funk right now. It should pass come February. Yesterday, I did some baking. I made my cheesecake tarts again for Christmas Eve, and I baked a batch of cookies. Those Bakers Air-Insulated Cookie Sheets are GREAT. I should replace my other cookie sheets with those. I totally noticed a difference!! I also need cooling racks. I also burned my finger. There's no real blistering, but it sure hurts -- right on the tip of my left index finger. My mom was so generous to me this year for my birthday. There is no way I can accept it all. And my dad put in some effort, too. I feel so guilty that I gave him only an embroidered hand towel for Christmas. I am looking forward to this weekend :) I'm getting my face lasered tomorrow. The scarring on my face is quite minimal now, thanks to the creams, but there a few pits left. Tomorrow's procedure should help me fill some of those out. Hopefully I won't need too many more treatments. Just over a year ago, my face completely broke out. I thought it was stress-related. I was pole dancing, working out, getting ready for my best friend's wedding, dating someone on and off, and moving into my own place -- all that and I had my regular work life. So I had lots going on...who wouldn't be stressed? So last year, our family friend who's a feng shui master came to my place. He told me half my bed was in a cancer spot. I'd be prone to getting sick and getting breakouts sleeping there. The right side of my face was definitely worse. He suggested I move my bed, and I did. The breakouts stopped very shortly after. My face has been normal since, and I've been going to this guy at a laser clinic who's prescribed me creams and ointments to reduce the scarring. I'm so glad my skin is almost back to the way it used to be. It was quite healthy looking even if my skin tone was uneven. I don't get the "whoa, what happened to your face" anymore, that's for sure. Hopefully, I'll have a nice fresh face for 2006 :) I just finished my box of Crest White Strips. Skin treatment tomorrow. And some good ol' waxing next Friday. Apparently, I will be morally weak come January, too. I have been advised to think things through. Sex is supposed to come easily to me. I'm starting to think I've been denying myself too long. Um...I've said too much on that...:lol: |

People have been so sweet to me today with their birthday wishes. They make my heart sing! BWAHAHHA I still wish I had taken a sick day so I could just go watch movies, but I think people would have gotten suspicious...D'oh! My birthday tends to be a day of eating. Today is no exception! Lunch with dad. Dinner with mom. |

| 12.21.05 (7:26 am) [edit] |

Sometimes I get these headaches. If I don't take care of them right away, they are pretty much uncontrollable. I haven't quite figured out what causes them. I'm not sure if my most recent one was related to my accident? Anyway, yesterday at the end of my work day, I felt one coming on, but I just ignored it. By the time I got home, my head was pounding! I ate, watched some TV, and couldn't take it anymore. I was in bed by 8:30 pm. Taking one Tylenol did nothing. My head hurt so much I felt I was going to puke! My head still hurts, but only a little. I wonder if it was my sinuses...or maybe a mild migraine? I don't know. :roll: Ugh, headaches! |

| 12.20.05 (9:33 am) [edit] |

I'm supposed to go out for dinner for my birthday tomorrow night, but with the crazy shopping hours, my mom wants the dinner to be as late as possible. I've already been waiting until like 8 pm every time we've had dinner this month, and I absolutely *hate* having late, big dinners. She doesn't want to have it early tomorrow either. I am just tempted to forget about it. She was like "how about 7:30?" "No." "Then when?" And then someone needed the debit card machine, so she had to hang up. Ugh. She's always had this knack to make me feel insignificant. And I will roll my eyes as I say "yes, I know...nobody can *make* me feel a certain way." I ought to make some comments about my astrological chart later, but first, I must go run some errands. |

Five and a half months later, my company has recognised my 5 years of service. With that, I can choose a gift from a Web site. I've narrowed down my choices to three things, and I don't know which I'd want most: 1. A 6" Nambe butterfly bowl. http://www.bodanica.com/produ... 2. A ring. https://www.awardselect.com/simg/odw/m/non_dangle /47004273_rgb_m.jpg "Crafted in fashion's latest metal, stainless steel, this flat ring exhibits a high-polish finish and brilliant-cut .03ct diamond. 4 mm, comfort fit band." 3. A drill. https://www.awardselect.com/simg/odw/m/non_dangle /803496_rgb_m.jpg "Skil 3/8" Drill/Driver. Features 12 volts, variable speed/reversing, 3/8" keyless chuck, six torque settings, bit size indicator, soft grip, and on board bit holder." I wish I could actually see these things up close, so I could make a better choice! Opinions, anyone?? I declined on fishing gear, necklaces, cutlery, crystal, prints, clocks, luggage, binoculars, telescopes, globes, pens, golf carts, Swiss army knives, and watches. |

Monday morning and sick. I should have taken a sick day today but that would mean less socialising. There's a good bye lunch for someone today and tomorrow is birthday cake at the office!! And then I was too shy to return the new guy's stuff, so I got someone else to do it. This morning when I was making my protein shake and I looked at my fridge. There I saw the prescriptions that I was looking for last month. I hate when I put important things aside so I supposedly can find them easier later. *sigh* But at least I found them :lol: I might not need to keep using those creams anymore after this Friday. I'll be sure to ask. Yesterday night I was feeling physically crappy, and I had to sit through a 3 hour dinner! The restaurant was so busy! The family friends were coming by my place to use the Internet to activate their new cell phone. Little did I know that *I'd* be the one doing it all. I was in the middle of something and trying to get ready for dinner! Even though it took like 20 minutes to do, I thought Uncle was tech-savvy and I could just leave him to do it on his own. *sigh* We were late for dinner. I was expecting them at 6 pm...6:40... "we're here!" :? Sick Rosie == cranky Rosie. :lol: But they gave me a present :oops: An XM radio car kit thingee!! :D Oh, and what's up with "naked tulips" searches lately? There is no nudity at my blog. If people aren't looking naked tulips, they are looking for me. Why can't I get some cool search terms? |

This morning my nose started running, and it hasn't really stopped. I think I've caught myself a chill! I'd better take a nap. Yesterday I saw the astrologist. I can't remember much now. A couple of things he told me, based on my chart, was that I have beauty but am really insecure; I really need time for myself; I like to experiment, sexually; I'm socialable; I have few friends but I really treasure them. I was hoping for some more man advice, but he said I shouldn't settle, need someone I consider my equal, and that I will have no problems "getting a man" when I want one. Places good for me to meet them would be at events related to politics or social equality. Apparently, my looks can be intimidating to men. The astrologist was about 70 years old, but looked so healthy and young. Special K who recommended him to me told me he was gay. Anyhow, I have a couple of booklets that he printed out for me and the tape recording of our sessions. I'll have to read them when I am feeling less tired. Looks like my life is only starting to get more exciting :wink: Last night, my friends and I went out to celebrate mine and the S Man's birthdays. We just went for all-you-can-eat Japanese food and then off to a pub. That's what we did last year, but this year nobody was walking around with their balls hanging out. It was fun, but I was exhausted. Soon, I will take a nap. This morning I went off to help with the Christmas party for the kids (for staff at work). Kids still don't make me go ooh and aah. At least I know my biological clock isn't ticking. |

I didn't bring a date last night to my staff party and it was the *best* party I had attended in the last 5 years. BWAHAHA So maybe I will never bring a date again. I had a chance to talk with my co-workers and not have to worry about my date getting bored. I sat next to the new guy during dinner. He's really attractive and was an interesting guy. Too bad he left early :P I didn't do all that much dancing since every time the DJs played anything good, the dance floor cleared out. Since we have a very big Latin contingent in our company, the floor was more packed when the DJs played Latin music. There was some very fancy footwork out there! Very cool to watch. The 80s music just seems to get the crowd going too *retch* I think the DJs were done around 1, but some co-workers and I sat around and talked, and then we went to eat. There was this one really drunk project manager amongst the group (of 4) of us that went to eat. Everytime we were somewhat alone, he'd try to get personal with me. I think every guy who's tried to get close to me has said, "you're very difficult to read." It kind of frustrates me to hear that [because I feel that I'm just straight up with people, so why would i be difficult to read?], but I think I kind of like being that way. I especially like to fly under the radar at work. So this PM...he mentioned a few times that I am difficult to read, and then he asked me if I was a lesbian (in a roundabout way) BWAHAHAHAHAA :lol: And the type of things he kept saying just made me think he's a dirty man. :lol: I know being drunk is no excuse. He was entertaining. He kept saying he wanted to get to know me better. He's my old boss' neighbour, actually. My old boss was very professional with me, but I knew he was dirty, too. :lol: Anyway, at the restaurant, we just gossipped and laughed a lot. Then I dropped them all back off at the hotel and went home. That PM gave me a hug, inhaled me, and said that we should talk more. Actually earlier in the night, he asked if we could MSN. It could be fun, but having IT or anyone in the company with the power to read chat logs is already one danger...but then for them to read chat logs between coworkers could be even more detrimental. And then there's my icon with the butt being spanked. Even though I don't use that one while I am at work, it still shows for some people. And I came home with the prize that I wanted!! I got my Photoshop CS :D Actually, that PM won it, but I batted my eyelashes and asked if I could trade him. I had a Quizno's gift certificate and some fridge magnets :lol: I think the new guy "accidentally" left his fridge magnets behind. I'd have too, if I got them. They're Christmas-themed. But I am going to return them to him anyway. :wink: He is very swoon-worthy :lol: ...tall...white...not old...not young...has traveled...athletic...musically-inclined...But he's in Marketing...so...*shrugs* Anyway, he was just an interesting guy, that's all...very personable and down-to-earth. I also got my service award, too. I got a certificate that didn't acknowledge my anniversary date, and I got a letter with a link to a site where I can pick out my anniversary gift. It will have our company logo on it. They used to give out gift certificates... I got a (birthday) gift card in the mail from my best friend, too. :D Maybe I will return the last of my CD spree, and rebuy it later. You can't *not* have some Guns 'n' Roses. Last night, one of the DJs told me the difference between R&B and hip hop, too. I think he said the only difference was that hip hop had rap while R&B did not. You learn something new every day :P I'm not a huge fan of either, so I've always just lumped them all together. Okay, time to get ready for the astrologist! |

I took a Wild Alaskan salmon oil pill today. Man, those things are HUGE! I hate knowing when a pill is going to go down sideways. I hope I stick with them. Those salmon oil burps, though...hmm.... This week I haven't been to the gym or stretching and my back is achy and my neck is tight again. :roll: Ugh. Last night I saw some family friends, too. They were living out east and have decided to retire here. They're a nice and interesting couple. Maybe I like talking to them because they ask me the typical grown-up kid questions. Maybe they talk to me like a regular person because they have no kids. :lol: I am back to dreaming of living and working in London again. There is nothing here tying me down!! But my current debt is probably a small obstacle. Tonight is my work Christmas party. I tried on my dress this morning, and it's a little loose. Actually, a lot of the pants I was finding a little tight are now a little loose. That's good!! But I still want to have that athletic look. I need to make a quick trip home before my hair appointment. I hadn't planned on doing that but I left some stuff at home. I think leaving at 2 would be good. I know I will look nice tonight. I'll be looking even better in the near year! :lol: All that teeth bleaching and waxing will be all done. Holy moly, tomorrow I am seeing that astrologist. Tomorrow night, the core will swing by Airy and Raaanco's new pad before we all go out to celebrate mine and the S Man's birthdays. I wanted to go to a cougar bar to end off the night, but it's closed down, darnit! I'm still thinking about meaningless sex even though I vowed to never get into it again. I probably wouldn't enjoy it anyway. And I was even tempted to contact someone from my past, but I won't. The repurcussions that could arise afterwards should be keep me in place in the meantime. *smack* Bad Rosie! :lol: |

I was in a pretty good mood today, but now I am bummed again. It was all fine and dandy. My girl friends (core *and* expansion pack) went out for dinner tonight. We did this instead of exchanging gifts. I didn't even have dessert :shock: Special K turned to me and said, "oh, I have some dirt for you!" She informed me that her friend that was also being courted by Dr. T wrote him an e-mail. I really didn't need to know that. At one point, I *was* tempted to contact him again to give him a piece of my mind. With our last phone conversation, I kept the ball in his court. I've not heard a peep from him so that says a lot, and I'm trying my darndest to move on. I have nothing more to say to him since he was completely in the wrong. But I think I would be really upset if I later find out that Dr. T and this girl end up together. In due time when I am over everything, then fine...I'd be fine if they were together, but my hurt is still pretty raw, and having Special K give me update on what's going on in his world is just like pouring salt on the wound. In a sense, it's a little easier that we never met, but at the same time, when you think you've met someone pretty special and to have it all blow up in your face still hurts. It's rare for me to have such positive feelings for one person. All I can tell myself that if I've met someone like him before, it will happen again. *sigh* Man, I hope I get my appetite back soon. |

Often I talk about my friends. I guess it can get confusing. Poola and I have dubbed our regular circle of friends "the core." It's like 3 couples and me BWAHAHA All the girls went to school together. We were friends, but I didn't hang out a lot with them until a couple of years ago. It's taken that long for me to feel less like an outsider. Anyway, here's "the core": -me -Poola, whom I've known since the first grade -Curry, whom I've known since the eighth grade -Airy, whom I've known since the tenth grade -the T man, Poola's boyfriend -the S man, Curry's boyfriend -Raaanco, Airy's boyfriend Then there are other people we see, too, but not as often, and I've dubbed them "the expansion pack." So there you have it. :) |

I guess tonight will be a little later than usual for me. My new phone arrived in the mail today but I still have to activate it. Unfortunately I will have to wait until the morning, but I was really surprised that it came today! Poola and I went for dinner, and we had some fun with the waiter. He was very friendly with me. He asked me what I did [for a living], and when I told him I was a tech writer for software company, he was like, "I knew it. You look smart. You look like an iPod/Xbox kind of girl." :lol: And I was thinking, "holy, he is dead on!" He complimented my scarf and touched it, calling it "firm." BWAHAHAHA Later on in the night, he was serving some coworkers or something, and he was like "I got totally wasted at the staff party. I took my shirt off and set myself on fire!" Poola told me to write my number on the receipt...BWAHAHAA After I did, we hightailed on out of the restaurant, tripping over our feet. After dinner, we went to her place. She showed me the Christmas gifts she got her boyfriend. It made me a little wistful that there was nobody for me to spoil. One day, I guess...And then we watched some [u]Criminal Minds[/u]. So that was our exciting night. Time for bed. Tomorrow is going to be a long day! Oh, and I returned $125 worth of CDs...gotta save money, somehow... |

There is this site I go to, and I paid for a membership for lifetime online tarot card readings. I'm not sure I buy (like buy in...not like purchase) the online bit. I think being able to touch the cards is better. It's funny how I spend money on useless things, but at least my membership is lifetime. I've always used the site when it comes to potential new relationships, and I don't usually understand what I'm being told. I guess it's because the language is so middle of the road. When I tinkered around with the last one, I didn't really like the reading because I got this: [i]This relationship is unlikely to meet your expectations and defeat and wounded pride is indicated here. If you are rejected by this partner, however painful that may be, it’s important to believe you are worth more and know that you deserve love in your life. Just don't give them another chance to hurt you again![/i] Sometimes I wonder that if I was religious then maybe I wouldn't be seeking answers from other things. This weekend I have an appointment with an astrologist. Sometimes these things bring me some hope. Other times, I just get mad. BWAHAHAHA *sigh* |

So the building I'm living in is a little over a year old. However, the strata I belong to is almost 10 years old. The first building of the strata was built around the same time. About six years ago, that building was getting leaky. Repairs were chosen to not be made. People living in the building voted on this. However, the repairs must be made now. Last spring, everyone in the strata voted to not take this issue to court. It'd have been neighbour vs. neighbour. I was flabbergasted that people voted that issue down. By taking the issue to court, a judge would have decided if people living in the newer buildings would have to contribute to the cost of repairing that first building. Tonight, we voted again, and the issue will be taken to court. I am relieved. And in the case that the judge says everyone in the strata will pay, then the council has the option to sue the developers, the city, and others who were involved. Tonight, the sales agents were at the meeting, too. Interesting. My agent had a duty to tell me the issues when I was shopping. He already knew about the leaks when he sold me my condo. :evil: Ugh. |

The plan was to be with me but tell her later that he was into someone else. That was dishonest in the first place. But to lead her on was the worst part. To me, it seems like he was keeping his options open. I don't doubt he meant the words he said to me. But I cannot respect his actions. Therefore, I cannot respect him. No trust left. Poola asked me what I'd do if he came back groveling. I can't see him doing that. In fact, I think his actions from our last phone call already tells me he knows he f*cked up and was horribly busted. His actions also tell me he wasn't all that serious about me. And if he was serious, broken trust is no way to start or have any kind of relationship. I know it's not me. But it all goes back to WHY ME. My eternal optimism will always tell me there are great guys out there, but my own experiences tell me I will not ever be with them. And I will tear out the eyeballs of people who say to me, "I'm surprised you're single" ever again! No more Internet guys, again! Ever! I guess about a month ago, I wondered how I'd feel if things didn't work out with Dr. T, considering I thought I had met someone extremely compatible with me. Well, he was, I guess. Lots of stuff he said that sounded good to me were not echoes of things I had already said. Here's hoping I meet someone like him again but who is a lot more honest. In the meantime, I'll go back to recovery mode...a month or two will do it. Am I ever grateful for my friends. |

Or did I? I seriously can't remember, and it's too tedious to look back on blog entries. Dr. T did not want too much divulged on my blog about him, especially if it was something bad. But here is a situation where emotions are running high, and maybe I'll regret posting this. (Or maybe not, I'm not sure I've ever even edited any entries unless I noticed a typo right after writing it the first time). Fate, I believe in it...This is the second time, my friend Special K has passed along information to me about guys, and letting me know that they've been dishonest. This is the second time in a year. I started wondering if she was my guardian angel or something. :lol: I really wanted to believe the things he told me. I don't know how many people he was leading on. I directly asked him about it as soon as I could (this other girl was tempted to play games with him about it all, but it was too late for that and it wouldn't have been my style anyway). He passively owned up to his actions, apologised, didn't make any excuses. He didn't mention amends either. I didn't have anything else to say to him. His Christmas gifts are getting redistributed. The advent calendar is in the garbage. His birthday card will go to someone else, too. I don't want to think about this again. I want this all behind me. And I want to get laid. |

It's 10 pm, and I tried to go to bed like at 9:30. The last time I ever went to bed that early was when I was sick as a dog. (Where did that phrase come from anyway?) I'm exhausted. I'm sure I am hungry. I want to sleep but I can't. I am still a firm believer in that everything happens for a reason, but I just wish these reasons would just present themselves right away, you know? Sometimes I wonder what the heck did I do to bring on such bad luck. I believe in karma, as well. Maybe karma is playing catch up with me just from this lifetime, but for the most part, I've tried to deal with men with integrity *half snicker* oops...phone |

I really enjoy listening to the Beach Boys...I guess I find their songs sweet. So this weekend, I saw a 5-disc boxed set and bought it, along with 5 other CDs. I felt (still do) horribly guilty about spending the money on things I obviously like but don't need. So I am very likely going to bring back the CD set. It costs *more* than some esthetics services...I have an appointment coming up in two weeks, so I'd use my money for that instead of CDs, hands down! So *sigh* Bye, Beach Boys. It was nice to hold the shrink wrapped packaging :lol: 21 days...It's a little more bearable when I think only 3 weeks left. Holy crap, 3 weeks!!! I am getting mildly excited. Hopefully I can send out his gift tomorrow afternoon. I have more shopping to do tomorrow! This week, I've resigned myself to no gym activity this week so I can give myself some me-time. I'll do some stretching and maybe some gentle strength training exercises at home. But tonight, I am vegging. Ooooh yeah. Popcorn and pizza and TV shows I am behind on. |

There is this "proper" email account I have that I don't check daily. I probably should. I'd been on pins and needles for the past couple of days waiting for something I had ordered online. Turns out I had gotten an email asking for some more information. :x Now it's going to take even longer to get my phone, and it's all my damn fault! I can't even contact them until Monday! Boogers!! :oops: Last night was a good Canucks game, but I was so sleepy by the end. My friends were still here, and I didn't want to kick them out. Dr. T's power was out last night, too, so I couldn't really have a long conversation with him. And the power was still out when we chatted briefly again this morning! The poor dear was starting to get cold. Meanwhile, it was very nice and toasty in my bed. I finally switched to my down quilt. Man, do I ever love it. I got this Rival pack and fold griddle or whatever it's called. I'm glad I finally have a griddle. I tested it out this morning when I made some French toast. It was delightful. Maybe tomorrow I will even have bacon! Oooh la la. I'm finally starting to catch up on TV shows, too. I ought to check to see how much tape I have left before I start setting my VCR. At a *very* crucial moment of Criminal Minds, I ran out of tape!!!!!!! :x Ah well :) Time to read up on the rest at the Web site. Mmm, I love weekends. |

We have this new thing at work for people getting special recognition. With this recognition comes a token. At the end of every quarter, you exchange your tokens for money. One guy got recognised for putting in extra "several" hours. BIG WHOOP. Why? Because as people working in IT companies, we are *expected* to work extra hours as required. When I first started working here, we were allowed to bank our overtime and take it off. Then they took that away. And how many months of extra time have I put in over the years?? And what did I ever get for it?? NOTHING. And this frickin' document, I am about to edit...This POS document that uses no template nor does it follow our style guide (both items that are on our network for everyone to use)...The writer was recognised for merely creating it. By the time he gets it back, it is going to look different. Will I get thanks for making it better? Hmm... Fricking bullshit. Six months is all I am giving this place. I want some help with my resume. Gimme a recruiter!! Oooh, from my horoscope for this week: [i]Indecision ends - you'll know what to do, when to do it.[/i] Tim Stephens |

Too bad I can't control the interest rates. Even though I just got my mortgage renewed, I am still on a variable plan. And interest rates went up again yesterday! When will they stabilise?? My banker said another one or two times...and the guy on the news said a few times...Gaaaah! Well, I guess a couple of years of moving interest rates is still lower than being locked in. I should be taking advantage of this time and paying off as much as possible, but dammit, I want to have some fun, too! I finally expressed my displeasure about our communication becoming less deep to Dr. T. Did I mention that the conversations are still great? But when it becomes all about our day-to-day lives and I don't learn more about *him* I'll get bored. I absolutely love how openly we can communicate, and he does his best to take quick action. Ah, that's why I call him the sweetest man alive. 25 days left *sigh* Man, that feels far away. And I have had it with my frickin' company. They slowly chiselled away so my department is now 20% of what it was. Nobody values my work. My boss doesn't give a crap since he openly admits he knows nothing about documentation. I need someone who can mentor me (everyone more senior than me got canned or quit). I can't be a leader in an area that nobody respects. Once I am done with my classes and attending that conference, I am outta here. If I am going to face this battle at every software company, I might have to get out of the biz. But you know, I actually doing tech writing. I just hate dealing with all the bullshit from people within the company who don't understand what I do. "Why are my page numbers not showing up right?" "Why am I getting a blank page?" I really don't frickin' know. I'm not a word processor. |

26 more days until Date #1. 14 days until my birthday. 12.5 days left of using those Crest Whitening strips. I haven't used those strips in a couple of years. I remember how sensitive my teeth got, and now the sensitivity is starting up again! Maybe I should have just gotten the premium pack so I'd only have to go through this for a week. With Dr. T being so busy, we've mostly communicated via phone. Phone is great, but I am finding I don't have much to say. By the time we talk during the week, it's so late for him, and we talk about our days and we joke around. I don't mind this conversation, but if I feel like I am not making leaps and strides in to getting to know him better, there this possibility I'll lose interest. Ugh. Not that I want to do that, but past behaviour already tells me that I can lose interest very quickly. It's our emails that go a lot deeper, and since those have become non-existent...*siiigh* I really don't like that things feel like they're on hold until he gets here. And then it will be another readjustment, provided we even like each other in person... I don't know what I am being so pessimistic today. Maybe I am just a little sad that he's not here and our time spent together has decreased in the last week or so, and it's my subconscious way of building up a wall to protect myself. I did get my phone bill yesterday. It's about twice as much as usual!! But that is okay. This month is all about spending big chunks of dough for things I had not accounted for. Thank goodness for my LOC. Yesterday a friend told me that her boyfriend asked her to move in with him. I was (still am) happy for her. Since such a situation has never come up for me, I'd forgotten what views I had on cohabitation. I think the last time I thought about it, I told myself I'd not live with a guy unless we were engaged, at the least. It's not because I think living together is a half-assed commitment. I just don't see the point of living together just for the sake of living together. If a guy I cared about ever asked me to move in with him, I don't know how I'd say no. But he'd probably know I valued my space 8) So someone who has the same ISP as I Googled me. Unfortunately, I'll never be able to figure out who it is since the IP belongs to the big router thingee, and any kind of lookup just gives me the same [incorrect] city for the individual. I just hope it's not Dr. T's brother (I doubt it. I'm sure he has better things to do). But I still cringe when I see hits from Ottawa to this blog. *shudders at the memories of the J Man* Why can't I have some cool lookup terms? Most people find this blog when they do a search for "rosietulips." They never do any cool searches! The latest search terms have been "european pancakes" and "fear of commitment blog." Well, I guess they did come to the right place. BWAHAHAHAA Every time I hear James Blunt's [u]You're Beautiful[/u] on the radio, I stop station surfing and listen to it. His voice reminds me of Rod Stewart's. |

I decided I'd get some classics while I was at a store yesterday, so I picked up some Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, and Frank Sinatra. They're all putting me to sleep!! I cannot listen to this stuff at work. Time to get back to my rock. |

You know what is a good way to stop my behaviour?? (Mind you, it should depend on the person...) Just tell me I am doing something an ex-girlfriend used to do. :lol: 28 more days...*sigh* I didn't get to talk with him very much today since he was super busy, but at least he tries *swoon* I miss him. One of the favourite parts of my day is talking to him on the phone before I go to sleep. I don't even feel that bad that he's 4 hours ahead. And today, I renewed my mortgage, giving me an even lower interest rate than last week's :roll: But I will take it! I also upped my payments and started making regular contributions to my RRSPs again. Ugh, I still have to pay back the amounts I borrowed which will do nothing for my taxes. However, I do have another year before I have to start paying back, I think. I just want to start putting some savings away and do some prep for my future. This will slow down some debt payment, but oh well...as long as I pay it all off soon. It just kind of sucks that I am waiting to be reimbursed for my courses. This means waiting 'til June. Meh. |

There won't be anything tongues or lashings in this post unless you count this sentence, but I had no idea what to use for a subject line. 1. I broke my left pinky nail transporting a 10 kg bag of flour into the car, and I still haven't fixed the nail. 2. I'm really excited about Dr. T's Christmas gift because it's sooooo cheesey. I don't know if I will also get him the original gift I had in mind. Maybe I will save that for his birthday. 3. My eyes have been really dry lately. I need to use drops more and maybe start using my humidifier at night. 4. I actually turned on the heat last night to sleep. It was so cold that I was having problems getting comfortable. 5. I bought a new cell phone. I just hope it's not too much of a hassle to activate it and to keep my current phone number! |

| 12.02.05 (8:57 am) [edit] |

Here are things I would like for myself: -a new cell phone -maybe a new cell phone plan. I'm on this grandfathered plan which makes it worth my while to keep. -a good lamp to use while doing makeup -the Stila train case for all my makeup products :D -some laser skin treatments -some laser hair removal treatments -spa treatments -a cover for my wok -spa treatments -lovely lingerie That is all I really want. And now my friends have asked me what I want, and there is nothing I would ask for that is quite in their price range. This could mean more stuff I wouldn't find useful...It's been difficult answering that question. And yesterday, I got really annoyed with a couple of people, which resulted in some (permanent?) blockage. This kid from some discussion forums added me to list, and often he'd chat me up, but I can't even give examples of how immature I found him. Mind you, he is like 17 or so, so I just kind of let his immaturity slide. But yesterday...he was like "I have a date with a freshman." I'm trying to calculate in my head since we don't use that terminology here. So I was like, "you're going out with a 14 year old?" He said she was almost 16, so I jokingly told him to not take advantage of her...and he was like, "I won't be able to help it if she unleashes on me." At this point, I told him I didn't want to hear anymore. Like I want to hear about people half my age getting it on. No, thank you. He took my reaction as being a prude. And he was doing these ascii penis drawings. He thought he was HILARIOUS. I didn't have the heart to tell him I'd been doing the same drawings for like a decade...Anyway, I told him he was being an idiot. And that resulted in more immature cheap shots... "you'd probably go eeeew if you saw a penis." I wasn't in the mood for any one up manship, so I blocked him. And I just didn't like how disrespectful he was being. If you ask someone to stop something, they really should heed the request. If he only knew what I'd been doing with penises since my youth... And the tall J Man recently chatted me up again, and I asked him why he was talking to me. After all, it had been about 2 weeks since we spoke at all. He used to at least say hi or whatnot. Then he spazzed a little and said he'd been busy with work. And then I said something about it not appearing that way over here, which got me an "oh puhleeze." So I finally told him what had been on my mind the last while in that he only paid any attention to me if things were not going well with his girlfriend. And then I blocked him. Dr. T told me it would have been better for me and the tall J man if I had at least told him I wasn't going to talk to him anymore...closure for the both of us! Mmm...Dr. T... |

I felt a tickle in my throat last night...I wouldn't be surprised if I got sick at this point in time, with the lack of sleep and so much going on. Anyway, I actually got to bed before *midnight* I felt really refreshed when I woke up. After all, it was 7+ hours of sleep!! However, I'm still going through a deficit, so I still need more sleep. I am tired now. And it's going to be a long day and night. I'm going out for dinner and a movie, I think. Last night, my mom and I celebrated our lunar birthdays. The meal was okay. I decided to photograph what I ate, but I got so excited about dessert, I forgot to take the picture until after I ate it all. Turns out my 10 year old cousin has taken after me and has started photographing food as well :D Oooh, last night, I tried one of my cherry cheesecake tarts, and they turned out sooo well. And they are soooo easy to make! And yay, Dr. T time can resume this weekend!! 31 more days!! Oh, but one bit of bad news. I just had 7 months of morgtage payments go down the drain. My interest rate went up TWICE in NINE days. It's definitely time to lock down my rate. Ugh, I am mad! I was all set to see my banker the first free moment I had....and thanks to life, my free moments have been non-existent!!! :x |

I have no idea what is up...BWAHAHAHA I hope it is the exhaustion. I think I may have *just* snapped out of it - like while I was typing this. Geez, I seriously hope so. Maybe apples have a positive effect on the mind. I'm eating this mushy gala apple (I hate mushy apples) that I had dropped on the ground. Anyhow, I've been feeling a little disconnected from Dr. T lately. I think it started after a minor freak out. He's been busy, and I feel like I am creating distance. I think it would help if I either just got some sleep or hung out/talked with people who will keep my mind off him BWAHAHAHA. I was just chatting with a friend. We ended up talking about Jan. 2, and I felt better. I'm usually a positive thinking person, so focusing on the good stuff that I've already experienced with Dr. T really helps. I can't lose sight of what actually exists. My babbling is a sign of needing more sleep. I even dozed off on the bus today. My biggest fear when sleeping on the bus is falling out of my seat head first somewhere. Just never mind this blog entry. It was just some verbal diarrhea, purely for mememememememe. And it's always about just memememememe. |
