Great...Now What?

SO TODAY...

I found out something rather interesting.

No I didn't win the lottery, and no the world is not going to end in 2012.

I was sort of eavesdropping. I didn't do it intentionally! I swear!
My fiance and his dad were having a little chat just about things that are making the other unhappy, that sort of thing.
I knew I was a bit of a sore spot for them. I told a little lie and got caught [whoops] but made my amends, but it doesn't go away that easily. I didn't know how they'd react to something that had happened to me, and even though I thought it was good, not everyone would see it that way and I was embarassed that it wasn't the "true" path of success. So I omitted it from conversation and directed it towards other things, well, despite my best efforts they found out.

Anywho, I knew my fiance tends to lose his temper, so I wanted to see how it was going, make sure no punches were gonna get thrown. I took a quick listen and this is what I heard.

My future father-in-law thinks I think he's an asshole, and that I can't look him in the eye.

... [Jaw drop]
excuse me?

I don't think he's an asshole, I think he's a great guy and a good influence on his kids. but the man can be terribly stoic, and I'm awkward sometimes...

... it doesn't mesh well

I like to think of myself as a vacuum [ yes, I suck.. hardy har har!].
I take in how people react, I throw a little bait out there, and if you seem open to some of my humor or ideas, we'll get along like old friends.
I don't really get any response from his dad, he just kind of stares. and the more he stares, the more I get awkward, the more awkward I get, the more he stares, and thinks I think he's an asshole... see the dilemma?

Well I hope someone sets him straight.. as I can't really without indicating that I was eavesdropping [it is the truth], I think he's a great person that I can learn a lot from and would be a fantastic grandpa, I almost think of him as a father figure, someone who can help me fix my car and ask how things work that I really have no clue, [He is an engineer, you know...smarty pants] He looks like he's a hard man and at first the man absolutely terrified me, but now after 3+ years, I know he's a big softy, and cares very deeply for his family, and my fiance is very lucky to have him as a father.

maybe I should try another joke with him? nah! I could see how terribly that would turn out
Yeah don't mind me, I'm just the girl that your son is having sex with... eek!
[AAAWWWWKKKWWWAAAARRRDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD]

and people say it's hard to face the girl's father!!!!!

[Meep!] What to do????

Gasp! Two for the Price of One

So because it has been nearly 5 days since I last posted, I decided I would post twice.

... no not a repeat of what I just wrote, just a little video I found while surfing through music videos.

I thought it was pretty funny!

Telephone Video

Enjoy Kid-lits

Just One More!

SO TODAY...

boys and girls...

I must talk about a very important issue: Addiction.

Addiction is a scary thing that makes people do extraordinary things, be it alcohol, drugs, gambling... or buying dice.

For Example:

My dear friend was introduced to the world of dice from some "friends". They said it was cool, and fun. So she said "ok" and bought her first set of dice. Never did the thought cross her mind that one day, she wouldn't be able to stop buying dice.

Soon it came that every Monday on Games Night, Lila [names have been changed to protect the innocent... or maybe just crazy]would have new dice to add to her growing box. Green ones, blue ones, sparkly ones, small ones, big ones. It did not matter, they were new dice. Soon she would do anything for them.

It came a time when I had to step in when my dear friend Lila, was soon hooking on the street corner by Chinook Mall, just for some measly crack change so that she could go back to Sentry Box and buy a couple more. Just a few more, she'd say.

Eventually it came to a time to try the cold turkey approach, I locked her in a cage in my basement for a month, feeding her table scraps and leftovers, or whatever was in my fridge at the time. But somehow, there would be more in her box.
She claimed they multiplied on their own, hmmm... dice sex?

Soon I gave her to the professionals, some company made up of extremely dorky men.

... I haven't seen her since, but every once in a while, I get a a little box in the mail of dice, and I know she's ok.

no seriously people, addiction is a very scary thing and should be handled accordingly. It almost ruined my life, being a spectator to watch the train wreck of a loved one. Please turn it over to the professionals or the tried and true methods. Chances are, even though you love them, by taking matters into your own hands you'll only make it worse, and drive them away.


... PS. VOTE!!! ONLY 8 DAYS LEFT!

Pokemon Blessings to You

SO TODAY...

is games night (SQUEE!) and will contain some drunken stupor (without the booze) and violent tendencies, on paper with dice flying flying in every direction, and chips acting like confetti. with curses and victories. with alternate identities and no fear.

WHOO HOO!

couple nights ago i taught some old men disguised in 20 year old male bodies how to play a terrific oldie game called Canasta.
We even pulled out the visors and talked like old people to set the appropriate mood.
All we were missing were the pants up to our eye balls, the cigars, a glass for my dentures and soft gummy food.

I won I won!! :)

Later that day (being pretty much later that day, as the game went on a long time), I decided a book would suit my attentions. My fiance decided for pokemon.

[bows down to the glorified picture of my fiance with 6 arms and pokemon surrounding his feet]

Praise to God Anthony, all powerful and knowledgeable about all that is pokemon

Jesus Christ! the man sits there and knows how to beat every pokemon there is. I finally played my first game (leaf green) and I sat there beside my sweetheart and go
"This pokemon showed up, how do I beat it, what do I use?"

[offers pokemon merch and preorder of new game soul silver game is a gift to the great god]
TEACH ME YOUR WAYS!

ps...
PLEASE VOTE!!! ONLY 3 PEOPLE HAVE VOTED!!! PATHETIC!!!

please... love?

Forward Onward Men!

SO TODAY... (and yesterday)I pondered on my upcoming food crusade.

I know I was slightly vague and maybe not exactly in a selling mood, so it didn't sound very fun, I know.

So I decided that I needed to go into more detail: Set a time, an outline, restrictions, ect.

I decided that I will give myself a year to do this, with school, and work and well... life... that seems to be a pressure to get it done.
I will start June 1st of this year, which gives me till next June, to complete my education.
Any sugestions would be appreciated.
With 69 different places.. none not very close to my house and being a broke student.. whoo hoo! I see dollars slipping out of my pocket considering some of the places. I think 69 is too little for a year. I think that I should do more than 69 places for 365 days. I GIVE THE DECISION TO YOU MY READERS BECAUSE I CARE! SO VOTE DAMMIT!

I guarantee that there will be pictures and posts about other things than the food. Critique will include service , pricing, even decor and atmosphere.

The Food Crusade is about more than just the food and what my taste buds experience. It's about my eyes, ears, nose and smell. And I hope that I can provide some entertaining feedback that may convince you to eat there.

Good Food is Important!

other news?
I've been babysitting sick people for the week. Mostly one, my fiancee.

Fiance: cough, cough, weeze [snot running from his nose, eyes swollen with gunk at the corners] Love you sweetheart

Me: LLllllooovvveee you too [winces, as he kisses me] yes, of course you're still sexy

I love him dearly, but having things seep from all orifices does not exactly make me want to jump you. Oh my, I can see how that would go.

Oh yes, you know all the dirty things I'm gonna do to you. Here let me tie your hands, it's all up to me what you get tonight. Oh yeah, baby. there now you can't use your hands and feet. Now let me slip on this blindfold baby. oh here, let me get you a tissue to blow your nose. I'm just gonna throw it over here. Ick! alright, I'm going to be right back I just have to go get... something... yeah, a feather duster. All for your pleasure baby. You don't have one? Well I guess I have to go get one.

... Here's me running away

Pouting Like a Small Child

So today, about 6 hours ago someone had to rope my foot in a lasso and drag my sorry ass to work, kicking and screaming
AAAAAHHHHH NO NO NO NO NO!!! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME DO IT! NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!
[ten distinct scrape marks on the ground lead the trail of where I've been]

I really really really wanted to quit and be done with the whole place.

It shouldn't be called Calgary Co-op Bakery, it should be called (the worst of) High School.

SO... MUCH... DRAMA
(which is usually the same for any workplace)

My shoulders have knots the size of a basketball from the tug-a-war for my loyalty
whiny voice one: I'm right, right?
whiny voice two: No I'm right
OW! Stop ripping me apart!

anywho I went to work, fearing the worst. I said to myself that if anyone gave me crap tonight, I would quit on the spot and walk out that door, waving my middle finger like a blazing banner.

... and then I remembered why I like where I work. It's not the job or the drama, or the pay for that matter (but money is always a good thing)

It's the people.

It's not the people who fight for my affection (although they are usually nice people too), it's the people who have the "I really don't give a shit about your shit" attitude. The people who go to work and have a good time... and still work!

So I treated myself to some nice chai tea and am now watching my new NCIS DVD that I got for valentine's day from my sweetie.

No I do not really believe that this day is a celebration of love, it's just an excuse to buy stuff for my loverboy that he would normally tell me not too.

Valentine's day is not a day of celebrating love... that's everyday!!!

[breaks out into song]

Stop! In the name of love,
until you break my heart...


come on sing with me!
no?
How about...

I'm gonna run to you!
Oh! I'm gonna run to you,
When the feeling's right I'm gonna run all night
I'm gonna run to you


oh wait... isn't that song about an affair?
whatever it's catchy *snaps fingers*
[proceeds to dance like the white girl I am]
...aw shit, not again!

Many Apologies Dear Sir/Madame

Sorry Sorry Sorry

I know I haven't posted in a few days! Shame on me.

I have been SUPER busy. I know it's the same excuse any other person who is supposed to update regularly who don't do it... something about work drama and not feeling particularly pleasant, both physically and mentally.

Anywho, on to my shenanigans!

The other day while roaming the town sized Walmart, I found an old movie that I remember loving that I don't even remember what the plot was:

JUMANGI!

One of the things I remember when watching it as a kid. AND WAS TOTALLY PETRIFIED!
It is one of the reasons that I am deadly afraid of wasps. (in the movie it was mosquitoes but they try to "sting" you... so in some weird sense it fits)

The second a young Kirsten Dunst appeared no the screen everyone is the room started shouting "You sucked in Spiderman!"
Yes... we were giving advice for her future, so that maybe she would avoid some big flops. yes... were trying to save her!

what else is new? This is a big announcement for anyone who is reading my blog! I have great news of some more shenanigans:

The Food Crusade
Dun Dun Dun! DOOM!

Starting in a few months I will be going to 69 (yes I picked that number for a reason) places to eat in the city (Calgary) and will write reviews for them. (Whee food poisoning!) It will include tea and coffee, fine dining, and casual places. If anyone has any recommendations, or suggestions, I would love to hear them!

oh god! I forsee hours on the treadmill!
*pant* *pant* *pant* Chocolate *pant*
*pant* steak *pant*
*pant* weird blue meat? *pant*

[slips on treadmill and get's thrown from it]

God Damn! I am gonna gain some pretty poundage!
FEE FI FO FUM! I am a giant fat thing who is stomping the town of CALGARY
GIVE ME FOOD!

[Plays Blue Oyster Cult's Godzilla}
Go Go Godzilla

RAWR!!!


Me no like planes flying in face
[Closes eyes and bats at it like a sissy girl]
EEeeeEEEee!!

Hallelujah!

Today, I was dazzled by a scary image.

A bus was charging right at the vehicle I was in, on the passenger side of the car.

The side I was on.

No I am not writing this from a hospital bed, and my friend is not bawling because his baby is toasted. Instead, it honked at us angrily.

And we floored it out of there.

Today I went to the new Walmart Super Center

...It was like the herald angels were singing praising to the Gods of Walmart

It was so huge, I was overwhelmed the second I walked in there. It was so big that I bought over 200$ worth of stuff I really didn't need (or really could afford).

It took till I got home to realize my mistake and now I'm trying to come up with the courage to take it all back. It's stuff I don't need and I'd rather fill up my vehicle than have some new gadget on my already cramped desk.

...Ok breath! In! Out! they aren't monsters with fangs, they won't kill you!

but they'll look at me with that disappointed look or the look that says Oh God! Don't you have anything better to do then piss me off

or the ever popular insult towards me...

BITCH!


oh well... another day another adventure!
TALLY HO!!!

Play That Funky Music White Boy... I Mean Girl

So my future mother in law said something rather quaint yesterday at dinner. We were celebrating my brother in law's birthday, eating a fancy steak and lobster meal in the nice formal dinning room. It was all a rather classy evening.

She was talking about how she had a tuna wrap the other day, and it had dripped on her.

No she didn't talk about how it tasted or good it was or anything of the sort. This is what she said:

"Eeeewww.... My hands smell like pussy."

My jaw just about fell in the plate of deliciousness in front of me.

Later that night after I just about peed myself laughing with my mother in law, I have started to plant the seeds for my novel ideas.

one included someone suffering from complete psychosis, hallucinating and trying to kill people

the other in some world sort of resembling Howl's Movie Castle (one of the best books and movies ever!)

...maybe they'll somehow connect!

somehow today has been a good day, I find myself right now at the computer listening to club music with my little (but legal) sister, it compels me to dance!
AAHHHH I'VE BEEN BRAINWASHED... must...dance... like white... girl!!!

NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I've succumbed to the dance urge and now look like complete loser

... not that it's any different from any other given day

sudden urge to drink excessively and grind against anything with a penis
SOMEONE SAVE ME!!!

Something's Hinky!

So today I find myself in some sort of harness hanging from the roof, and someone is taking punches at my stomach. Oof!

OR

My stomach is very upset and doesn't want to stop hurting.

So I have spent the day watching shows and movies which included:
More Dead Like Me (Yay!)
The Holiday
and NCIS

Whoo Hoo!
NCIS is my FAV show of all time! and I love Dead Like Me
The Holiday?
I know, I know! It's a chick flick! But I like it! Squee! It's one of the things on my "I'm Embarrassed to Admit" List.

That also includes:
The wedding date
My big fat Greek wedding
Britney Spears
Charmed
The Sims game
Obsessively planning my wedding
And watching wedding shows

To name a few...


OOOooooo Exciting! Today my package came in! It was a:

STAR WARS RPG BOOK

For the Dark Side players, and I'm still waiting for one to explicitly explain the force.

OOooo OOooo OOOooo more exciting news:
I finished my back story for my Star Wars character: Aneena

...It was only 26 pages long

OooOOooOOOOoo Abbey is being awesome now, must pay attention!

Peace out!

Aww! Such a Cute Little Monster

So today my stomach felt like a baby monster was trying to rip it's way out of my abdomen.
The doctor says it's just food poisoning. I think it's death with a side of bitter or that someone is thinking very bad thoughts towards me.

...very very bad thoughts

thoughts that include complete and sheer agony that includes setting my body on fire and made me feel like I was traversing the saudi arabia desert!

now I'm bundled up on the couch watching mindless tv, like singing dancing inanimate objects (Whoo hoo Disney!)

I settled on a show that's all about how I feel: Death!
Watching the morbid comedy that is Dead Like Me.

I am very disappointing that it only lasted 2 season, and a movie.

Oooooo sudden craving for garlic toast! Too bad I am dirt poor! Argh! I hate being a starving student! RAWR!

Snorlax! Snor...

So today, my friends and I have reached an all new level of geekyness.

We have made a pokemon role playing game.

... yeah you're telling me

There are 6 types of people:
watcher: someone who draws and watches pokemon (think bird watcher)
researcher: think professor oak, but out in the world
coordinator: someone who tries to compete and win prizes with their pokemon
trainer: a pokemon trainer
breeder: a pokemon breeder
specialist: someone who collect one specific type of pokemon (fire, water, bug ect..)

oh and for the crazy people, the cosplayer, someone who dresses up as their pokemon, they only collect one type, like a specialist.

... is it terrible that I volunteered for that position, and now feel sad because I couldn't be a cosplayer, because I am the coordinator and that means I need one of every type of pokemon to compete

MMmmmm... Nyquil good!
*cough cough weeze cough*
[hacks out a lung]

GGAAAHHHHH!!!!
[Throws on Snorlax costume]
Growl... SNORLAX (translation: sleepy! and sick)!!!
[flops down in a corner]
ZZZzZzzzZZzzzZZZzzz

The Pen is Mightier than thy Sword

So I've decided to write a novel...

great start... now what?

My fiance says that I have the talent and should do it, but I can't think of where to start.

I had a few ideas in the past, but they never got anywhere. I can start a story and it'll be awesome idea.. but somewhere along the way, it just falls apart

like a badly made porno.

[check out pterodactyl porn... the actors forget they're pterodactyls and really get into what they are doing]

So anywho... It's not like I can make an entire novel about how pterodactyls probably aren't even interested in a female woman who just happens to be naked

any ideas?

And if I wrote.. since I am getting married, should I have a nom de plume?

oh jesus, I can only imagine the ideas for a nom de plume

Candy McCiss
Suzy Strawberry
Pamela Lickson
Summer Palmer

...oh wait, those would be my porn names... whoops!

At Last

So... Tonight I watched the awesomeness that is the Return of the Jedi.

I think that the rolling script at the begining of the movies is the get out of jail free cards for movie producers.
A tasteful budget cut if you will.
This way, they could say that pigs now fly due to technical implants, and guess what? nobody would have to explain in the film. they could show a background of pigs flying, and nobody would have to be like
"Oh that crazy scientist guy was a genius with helping those poor non-flying pigs"

when every word costs something then well that was like what? $100000

Whoo hoo! flying pigs!

What is with the childish games at the end? Han Solo goes up to a storm trooper and taps his shoulder, and runs away.
Hee hee Tag! You're it! [runs like sissy little girl]
OH! Tee hee! you got caughtby my group of other sissy girls who won't shoot you either!

JUST F'IN SHOOT HIM ALREADY!

Random Question: Does Mara Jade make an appearance in Return of the Jedi, I heard some rumors...

Fighting ewoks would be really weird... not because of how they look or anything, but it would be my worst nightmare to be mauled by a teddy bear! I mean come on.. a childhood plaything eating you to death... AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Hee hee! the ewoks are adorable, all cute and cuddly like giant teddy bears

well most of them anyways

some of them, are not very. they look like old yappy purse dogs, or things that make me say...
OH MY GOD
... I mean yyyyeeessss of course that is a very attractive look, very appealing.

but the little baby ewok
SQUEE!!!
It is so adorable. I'm afraid I'll pull a Jamie from girls with slingshots (An AWESOME comic)

http://www.daniellecorsetto.com/GWS443.html

...God knows I have a big enough rack for it. MMmmmm big sexy boobs!

OOOOOooooo objectifying myself
... does that make me a pervert?

It's the End of the World as We Know it... and I Feel Fine!

STRESS!! RRRAAAAWWWWRRRRRR!!!
HAIR FALLING OUT IN CLUMPS!!!
AAAHHHH I'M GONNA BE BALD SOON!!!!

Today was an exam for cookies. The practical part of it. I have 3 1/2 hours to do a set amount of cookies.
one of the doughs is for 2 cookies, and I had to make it the night before.
... I didn't realize until I got on the train that I only made enough for 1 type not 2

SSSSOOOO.... I had to make the second dough and throw it in the freezer, and that threw my whole schedule off by about half an hour or so!
So not only am I behind, I have more to do now!

In the end... I didn't end up finishing my exam. I missed putting leaves on my rose and printing on the cake "Happy Birthday".

I have never not finished an exam. I was really crushed. And I got a poor grade on my theory test from yesterday. When I normally get A's!

So I ended the day crying from the stress of it all, and stripped out of my whites in the hall to change for some happy spectators. I just wanted to go home!!!

And bit into a delicious calorie filled whopper, dripping with sauce, complete with a cheesy poutine ( ...here fatty fatty fatty)

[Duct tapes clumps of hair back on bald spots]

...[sigh of relaxation] much, much better

There's Always a First

So today was a day of firsts

It's official...
I FUCKING HATE DECORATING COOKIES!!!

today was the very first time, since I have started my course, that I have been frustrated at anything. I can make and bake cookies till the cows decide they friggin' wanna come home, but for the love of god! I could not decorate these cookies nicely!
They looked like utter shit!

Well some of them anyways. most of them went to the marketplace (which means they got the big stamp of approval from my chef), but some of them...
I groan aloud whenever I think of how terrible they looked.
The piping bags kept exploding, my chocolate kept getting lumpy, the coatings had air bubbles in them, and some only got half decorated!

My mother must be right (SSSssshhhh! Don't tell her!)
"Oh my god! You are too hard on yourself!" She says everyday that I tell her about my mistakes.
Still... I did not do 2 types out of 8 cookies! I had no time!
but it sucks, the other students had 4 instead of 3 days to do these damn cookies.
... I hate getting sick! it means I get a disadvantage!

I may have been so frustrated, my hands are again a lovely shade of bright (hideous) pink, and muscles I didn't even know I had in my hand are hurting like a bitch.

.... but oh my god! They were bloody delicious

and totally worth it ( <---Don't tell anyone it's a secret!)

oh oh oh and another first.

I watched almost all of the empire stikes back.
Yes yes I know Boo Hiss! for not watching it before today, and I'm pretty peeved at myself. But who cares...
IT WAS AWESOME!!!

Rawr... I'm a dinosaur! (waves arms around like T-Rex claws)
om nom nom, cookie good!

The Worst of 80's Cartoons

Has anyone ever seen Dungeons and Dragons? the animated series? It's from 1983... before I was even born!

IT IS TERRIBLE
It is full of terribly done animation. Complete with voice acting done by retards, the token black girl and a completely ridiculous unicorn that was a total rip off of Scooby Doo! oh oh and a rich spoiled rich kid, who does nothing but complain.
"uuggghhh.. I wish I had daddy's limo"

...I'm not even kidding...
But I can't stop watching!

check it out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfif5DiGMYc

Rawr of Awesomness

So tonight was supposed to be the night that my GM (game master) revealed something totally awesome about my Star Wars character. Aneena is not only a noble with black market connections, she's also a secret Sith apprentice.
We're planning in the time of Darth Bane. Which means that there is in place the "Rule of Two". There is only 1 Sith and 1 Sith apprentice... and I'm a third Sith apprentice, which means there is another Sith Lord...

*Gasp*

So anywho... it's been a bit of a let down. no one really gave a flying fuck...
thanks for caring guys (kidding kidding!)
It didn't really help that they were all distracted by something else, and not assassinating the person we were sent to kill, whom which I fried with force lightning (MMMmmm crispy chicken!)
it's a bit of anticlimactic day... which does not bode well for my inner drama queen!

oh well my character is kick ass and I love her anyway... I won't emphasize the point that she could most likely kick all their asses. Bruise their male ego a little!

oh well it was a better day in real life... I got my show!
they took me out of class in a wheelchair! Whoo Hoo!
I got a little dizzy, fell over, from evident overexertion... such drama queens!

I was totally fine!

to end this on a lighter note... I'm writing my own Star Wars run.

WOOKIEPEDIA IS GOD!
Who knew that there was so much useless information on Star Wars
