Today I am coming to you, writing about a behavior that I and almost every other driver out there is guilty of...
Rubbernecking!!!
Defined by Wikipedia as "the act of gawking at something of interest". Generally referring to a traffic accident.
While barreling down the Deerfoot, the high speed highway here in Calgary, trying to get home in half the time, essentially avoiding the insane rush hour. I saw some smoke billowing over the horizon and spidey sense started furiously tingling.
Oh this will be a good one I thought.
Not the classic police pull over, where the person in the driver seat is covering their face with their hands, embarrassed that the 1000th time they have been driving down this road at breakneck speed and now they (Finally!) got caught.
Or the fender bender, where someone was texting or doing something they fully know they should not and hit the person in front, or beside, them.
There are several other reasons why there would be cars pulled over on the side of the road, from a forceful by the local law enforcement, to break downs. Either way, it's not happening to me, and I am so THANKFUL!!!
Well this poor Bastard must have been having a bad day.
There, on the other side of the road, his poor new little sport SUV, with the beautiful detailing, and gleaming silver surface. His car was smoking furiously under the hood, and there were flames.
My very first thought: Holy crap! Look at that!!!
After a few moments: Did anyone call 911?
The young guys were 50 feet away and one was flipping shit (No wonder!), my guess it was his poor little baby that was spontaneous combusting! Or maybe his Parental Units lent it to him.
For a little while, after Firetrucks and Police cars came screaming down the road towards the ignited vehicle, I was still like WOW that was sick! Awed by how seemingly extreme that was, narrowly avoiding making my own spectacle of a collision.
... Why am I still in awe?
I got so caught up in the rapture of the image of a car about to explode etched into my mind, I made it home before I was like... what the hell am I doing?
And it's something everyone I know who drives, or others who don't, do when they spot these little incidents on the side of the road. Anything to distract you from the mundane drive home from work or from your errands.
We as humans love and crave excitement and this particular brand of excitement brings one feeling to mind.
THANK GOD THAT IS NOT ME!!!
Am I right? Holla!!!

Mental Mondays- A Suspicious Gift
Today I bring another Mental Monday Escapade.
As having dealt with unusual customers all my life, I feel that they are a character building experience. A way to gain patience and understanding. Also, a way to build a will of iron and an appreciation for the mundane days where nothing blew up in your face.
Today's story comes from a coworker of mine. A fine specimen of retail management, who has dealt with so many trying customers that she lost count and can't remember. This one happened just recently. Her namesake will be kept confidential and we will just call her Mimi for fun! (and because I think the name is cute, like her)
She was working on a busy day, and a customer came to return items. With the receipt and everything, Mimi had no trouble returning the 2 pairs of jeans she brought back. One pair was a little damp, but Mimi refunded the lady her money and let her go her way.
When putting away the jeans, another manager took the jeans and felt the dampness. She smelled them and found out what the liquid was.
It was Pee!
With a visible shudder, I pity Mimi for having to touch that. And wonder what on earth would possess someone to return pee soaked clothes. that's just... ew!

Sunday Sweets- Classical Cover
ok, So I am a HUGE fan of classical covers. Probably something to do with playing a classical instrument, blah blah blah, who cares, I just really like them.
So for you today, I have something some of you may enjoy.
I found these particular people because they did an awesome cover of Star Wars music.
As presented to you in this link.Cello Wars *updated link*
A delightful mix of dueling force users, as portrayed through their music. With a guest performer Darth Vader himself.
For those of you who may not enjoy this particular brand music, I have something a little more up your alley.
They also did a cover of David Guetta ft. Chris Brown- Without you
I also quite enjoyed this cover.
Check it out!
Without you video
Ciao

I Spy With My Little Eye
For you cosplayers out there, I have a treat for you...
So this year for the annual Comic convention here at Cow-gary, it is always an interesting topic in our group. What will we do this year. No, we are not discussing which areas to camp out, or a strategy to ensure we see every celebrity guest there. Those have happened already, game plan is always in motion, and it never changes. What changes from year to year is our garb.
we are cosplayers!!! Whoo hoo!!!
Dressing up for Comic-con may seem entirely too nerdy for some of you folks out there, and I know my parents would agree. A twenty something year old dressing up in halloween costumes to go to a comic book convention. They just shake their heads at me and pretend not to listen at our bi-weekly family dinners.
what is the shenanigans this year, you ask?
STEAMPUNK!
Now Nerf steampunk has already had its time to shine, and there is a debate about it going out of style in the geek culture. Although I could be biased, I disagree. The style is already such a lifestyle to certain communities, it was only recently that it became part of the mainstream geek culture. The nerf portion is a new addition and only surfaced recently and before that it was entirely something else.
Steampunk, is a lifestyle. A place for "polite" punks. It is an artform, where anything goes, as long as it looks cool. Mostly, and my main attraction to it, it is a sense of community. A place for people to gather and have fun. I have heard of small festivals in vancouver and some hardcore groups down the states who gather monthly to show their new creations.
I want to be a part of that. So if that means that I am dressing out of style to the comic-con this year. Not only is it a cool looking style, I don't really give a damn. Our group of friends have created their own characters in this charade and I cannot wait to show them to you. http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
COMING SOON CHARACTER BIOS AND PICTURE!!!
Ps. I have a little treat for you. Comic con Bingo!

Mental Monday- Let's go for a Ride!
'Ello Kid-lets
I introduce the Mental Monday:
Today I bring you a story from the riveting world of sales and business and the poor shmucks who work to serve the whims of the average shopper.
As dealing with interesting people every day, you get a few good stories here and there. From certain customers who couldn't read their way out of a paper bag and others who are rocking and make my day just that much better. Mostly they just make me mental!
So here is just a little humor to brighten your day...
The other day I had a customer come into my store. My store is notorious for t-shirts with slight sexual innuendos and the offending t-shirt in question contained a roller coaster ride, with the cars having mustaches riding in them...
I hope you are old enough to understand.
Well I overhead this little tidbit of conversation of two women yelling at each other from across the store, keep in mind that these ladies were in the mid to late 20's, also her voice was higher than a man who's been kicked in the balls and airy like you've been inhaling fumes all day... you get it.
Woman " OH MY GOD, look at this shirt!!!! It has mustaches on it! My little sister LOVES things with mustaches!!! She would totally love this"
facepalm... Oh oh oh and then she said this...
"LOOK!!! THEY'RE RIDING A ROLLERCOASTER!!!"
...
Sadly, she did not buy the shirt but I hope you get a little sunshine in your day from this story!

Post from the Jungle
(this is a creative take on my being on back pain medication... I swear I am actually alright!!)
Today I report to you from the dark corners of my house. Here, everything isn't what it seems. A place where everything is upside down and everything you know is false.
A place where you lose yourself and your things. And I am all alone! With no hope of survival or discovery, I have huddled in a temporarily safe place to write my final words.
What was that?
Oh, my mind is playing tricks on me. It got me, the creature. It bit me on the back, I grit my teeth at the reminder of my injury. It had come faster then my mind could register. A blur of silver came from the native foliage of unwashed laundry and gone before I could even register. It is dead now, I killed it. Discovering that it was a creature made of cans from the pantry.
I huddled with a makeshift blanket of reusable bags in the front hall. I sent a flare text to try and get rescued. That was minutes ago, I don't think anyone is coming.
I am DDDOOOOOOOMMMMEEDDDD!!!
Tell my loved ones I went down fighting, brandishing that lamp post, beating off the feared monster, made of the gunk from the shower drain and leftovers from the watering hole, known here to the natives as Fridge.
With these last words, I go hunt my fate. Angry at lost chances and the answer to the whole mystery. I just face with the last monster. Face off with the antagonist, like the end of a thrilling book or film. I must show my courage. Quit my stalling and face my destiny.
Watch out Washing Machine, I am coming for you.

One of Us, One of Us...Hee hee hee
So despite my best efforts to be an offbeat bride, I have officially had my first wedding nightmare.
To date, I have been successfully been avoiding the screaming tantrums about color palettes, have kept my tears in check and used anger and steely professionalism when a vendor tried to bully me. And still have the determination to be my own wedding planner. I have not worried once if my wedding would be a delight or a drag.
but alas, doubt and worry have sneaked their way into my brain about the one thing I care about the most: my guests. Not even about them showing up, no. But about them having a good time.
In this horrendously girlie dream of mine, my poor little trinidadian grandmother was seated at a table outside the ballroom. She held my hand and told me that this room was beautiful and thanked me for inviting her, while I was crying like an overgrown baby. And it wasn't just her. There were at least 100 people sitting out there eating. And not one of them were mad at me.
I was so chocked up over the fact that they had come all this way to see me and ended up seeing the foyer instead of my grandly decorated ballroom, full of entertainment for them, despite the fact they were dancing and having a jolly time outside of the party.
Ok... Deep breath. Now that I am conscience I realize how silly it is. But still so terribly new that I had no idea what to make of it.
But alas... I hear some mundane checklists calling. Oh you wanna hang out? Sure, lets go to the florist, and check out some beautiful cakes. No you cannot touch....
OH GOD! WHAT HAVE I BECOME!!!
Someone please take me out for ice cream or something.... I really really like ice cream.

In a Virtual Reality Far, Far Away
Hello again to all of you out there.
I need to talk about something I am losing, something precious and have tried avidly but not successfully to keep around.
Time.
And what do I need time for? Well everything in general. Spend time with your loved ones, finish all those things you planned for the day and really should get done, grocery shopping so I or my significant other don't starve to death.
What have I actually spent my time doing?
Being a geek, doing you know, geek stuff.
As of now currently on the docket is Star Wars: the Old Republic. Which is better than chocolate any day (Blasphemy, I know). As a Star Wars Fan Girl, I dove into this game about 3 months ago. I have yet to resurface to our current time frame. Sitting here in the dark with Cheetos in my hair. deep bags under my eyes and legs unshaved (sexy eh? Rawr!)
STAR WARS HAS CONSUMED MY BRAIN.
My phone now autocorrects with the words Sith, Jedi and even Alderaan.
Diving into the game where my hatred of the Jedi is so unnaturally profound.
The hatred already existed prior to game play, but the game certainly solidified it with an intense metal plating like my medium armor that a blacksmith would be jealous of.
PS for any of you SWTOR players out there, If you have not already seen, this is a MUST SEE!!!
UPDATE 1.2, a video giving us a sneak preview of what is to come...
EEEEEEEEEE I want a TONTON!!! He is SSSOOO cute and tiny!!!!
As a Star wars fanatic, I had to give the game a try, despite my aversion to MMO's, which I know is to be somewhat unfounded on any real reasons as to why, and this game gave that preconception a run for its money.
Although the story is not terrible original, it is effective in keeping me, the player, captivated and care enough about storyline and my companions to actually do something about it. and when generally given decisions in VG's I tend to pick the most interesting sounding one, or whatever is the most ridiculous if I really am in a "blah" mood. This one, I actually thought about what would happen and what my companions would actually think about my decision.s And I had actually possessed a thing called Forethought. Where would this get me, how would it affect my gameplay? As everything I choose to do inadvertently did affect the whole game.
Well since, I am in the middle of aforementioned virtual reality, we will have to wait until I get to the end, see the huge finale, shower and return to social civilization before I can give a final verdict.
but so far...
I give it 5 plastic cheetos out of 5!

Techno-phobia Say What?
So I found something that is sure to make my life easier. But I have one question...
WHY DIDN'T I DOWNLOAD THIS SOONER????
I recent discovered by my techno-path fiance that I can download the Blogger app on my smart phone. My next thought was:
It probably is only available for the iphone.
Well that blows... As I stare at my android phone. The little green alien smirks at me smugly as there are tons of apps that are not available to me or others who refuse to jump on the Apple Bandwagon.
Just for shits and giggles, I went and searched for it in the android market and I am guessing you figured out my answer since I am posting from said app.
Thinking about how far we've come as a society to how we get our news, I realize that sometimes I am embarrassingly behind. Not only did I JUST get a smart phone, I refused to download anything that did not dial or text. An app to track my cat fluffy when I am not around to cuddle it and cry myself to sleep. No thank you. Is there actually an app for that? ... That would not surprise me.
Not only that. I looked back and realized that a social trendsetter is most definitely not on my horizon or even in my universe. Fictional or not. I simply do not care, and potentially a smidge of phobia of new technology.
Facebook? Oh my goodness I think I was the last person under 30 to get an account.
Twitter? I only got it originally to promote the stylings of my online journal (my blog of course)
Tumbler? Haven't touch that yet... The shivers traveling up and down my spine is from the cold air, really!!!
But I know that when I suck it up and do it, I generally quite enjoy it! I found time wasters on facebook and an anonymous audience to say whatever I feel like...
Nothing to be afraid of, right?
If someone tracks me down and rapes me because of something I've said online... I am becoming a hairy hermit, will move to the mountains and will sacrifice any electronic devices to ancient powers.
Oohhh mighty gods of modern cyber... have pity on my technophobe ass! You are way cooler than the ancient dusty relics I will sacrifice your wondrous blessings to!

9 Months And No Baby Yet!
Hello Kid-lets
So I know it has been a lllooonnnnggg time since my last post.
Life has a way of..., you know... stealing you away from your friends and making you miserable and dragging you along shopping and visiting her friends who do nothing but men bash...
... I mean...
there is a surprisingly amount of stuff that happens in what... 9 months.
I am still employed by LaSenza, still an assistant there, still loving my job!
I have becoming surprisingly addicted to Star Wars and my room in my new townhouse is covered with it like some freakish museum.
Fiance is almost done school and on his way for making up for being a money leech on me.
as for the food crusade... It died!
I tried my very best and went to half a dozen places before I realized that supporting my honey through school was not ideal for my wallet to be eating so well. so it has been put on hiatus until further notice.
OooOooOOOooo I am getting a puppy soon! a big fluffy puppy! yayayayayayay!!! SQUUEEE!!!
we found some lovely breeds that are hypo allergenic
On the small amount of food crusading I did, I was introduced to some delicious cheap Vietnamese food that is super addictive.
thanks to a relatively new but already cherished friend (you know who you are!)
man... there is so much to share and not enough space or the brain capacity to make it not boring.
... F! I missed earth hour.
every year a always have the intention of participating and leading up to it, I am like "man, you gotta participate this year.
do it for the environment, man!
and every year... I forget and completely miss it!
I am ashamed of my lack of commitment to the earth...
oh well! *goes back to video games*
Ciao Bellas, we shall meet again soon!

Who Made You Judge, Jury and...
So Laurell K Hamilton's new book arrived at my house less than a week ago (SQUEEE!!!) and I had two other books to read before it (Skin Trade and Flirt)
I ordered the paperback for Skin Trade at the same time as preordering Bullet
flirt was a waste of time. Fan service and just a filler story. I still sort of enjoyed it.
Anywho, so, I'm only about 150 pages in and so far there has been:
kinky leather sex
threesome
bondage hardcore
gay sex
heavy petting and..
a giant orgy with over two dozen participants
oh yeah baby! I may have to change my panties soon.
This book been fantastic and I can't seem to put it down.
... except to write this blog post
and work... and eat... and sleep...
well you get the gist
In other news...
I'm taking over the store on the lower level of the mall.
The "express": store as we call them is like the big store, but on steroids.
It only sells panties and bra's where as the big store sells additional things such as sleepwear and slippers and loungewear... ect...
I was supposed to be trained to be down there and have one shift just hanging down there to get the idea where everything is.
I open the store tomorrow morning.
I don't even know if I have been put in the system!!!
Food Crusade has begun and reviews will happen as soon as I can get feedback from the other participants who are part of it.
I think they have spent more time thinking up a nom de plume then an actual review for where we have eaten.
oh well...

We`re Off to See the Wizard...
SO TODAY...
I'm a little confused about my feelings.
...No no, not about you (silly!)
I love you all! It's more about something that happened.
I'm not really supposed to say, but no one at my store reads my blog anyways, so it's safe to tell you.
I've been transferred stores! to southcentre, and I get to run the express store! (Whheeee!!)
I am SSSSOOOO Excited!!!
however...
I`m gonna miss all the girls at my old store. I`m not allowed to tell them, until my replacement is solid, and generally, it`s just hush hush!
why you may ask... I honestly have no clue why I am transferred, all I know is that the assistant from the store where I was trained was transferred first and I think that I was just a by-product of that switch
... oh well it worked out better for me!
Wish me luck kiddies!

Just Whitsle While I Exploit You Little Animals, I Mean Work
SO TODAY...
I hit a bird! (*winces*)
I was driving home from dropping off my beloved at work when these two birds were on a main road at 60km/hour. I'm the kind of person who slows down slightly and will avoid squirrels and other wildlife on the road. I'm a big softie for little woodland creatures
*breaks out into song, and starts dancing with little animals*
no really...
anywho after hitting the poor thing, I actually held my breath for a while until I knew I wouldn't cry!
IT'S TOO DAMN EARLY IN THE MORNING TO BE DEALING WITH EMOTIONAL SHIT!!!!
... Again... I am a softie for little animals
So I just prayed that the thing was dead. But when I drove past the only thing I looked back to check and see if the thing flew away or was on the ground. And I didn't see either of them.
within seconds, I had this dreading feeling telling me that one and or both of the birds may be on my car. (EEEEEEEE.... HOLDING BREATH!!!)
I worried, but was less than a few minutes from home so I drove home and went to look at the front of my car.
There was a poor bird hanging from my cracked bumper. I ran inside screaming for my fiance's little brother to grab some heavy duty gloves
(Hey! If it was ME who got hit with a car, I would be using my sharp looking beak to peck someone's eye out!)
Anywho, his wing was stuck in the crack of my car. I just pulled on it a little bit with one hand under the creature and then he just haphazardly fell into my hand.
HOLDING BREATH AND RESISTING URGE TO YELL SORRY AT THE POOR LITTLE BIRD
... and then it fell asleep almost peacefully in my hand
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH TURNING BLUE!!! NEED TO BREATH
after a few minutes it just opened it`s eyes looked at me and fluttered away!
I named him Mort and Mort is a Northern Flicker. (insert picture here):
Isn`t he cute...
Sorry little Mort, I didn`t mean to hit you with a heavy machine that probably scared the living shit out of you!!
*wails* I`M SO SORRY!!!
PS. I found out I can upload pictures from a large computer but it kills my little laptop! With that new discovery comes boatloads of pictures of other things I promised you all!
FOOD CRUSADE START TOMORROW!!!
I hit a bird! (*winces*)
I was driving home from dropping off my beloved at work when these two birds were on a main road at 60km/hour. I'm the kind of person who slows down slightly and will avoid squirrels and other wildlife on the road. I'm a big softie for little woodland creatures

Leaping Lizards!
SO TODAY...
I am staring at my new pet!
AN IGUANA!!!
He is so cool! one of the tattoo artists at the place where I got my very first tattoo (More about that later), was giving it away because he doesn't have the space or time for it! Well me and my fiance want lizards (because he is allergic to fur). So we volunteered to take him off of his hands.
His name is Chub Chub!
Now I think this is hilarious because my leopard gecko name is Fat Boy (because he is fat!)
Fat Boy and Chub Cub...
I didn't co-ordinate this I swear!
Now I am hoping to get a bearded dragon, and am trying to figure out a name for him so he'll get in the theme of the names of my lizards. Any suggestions??
I love chub chub and he seems to be getting used to us. he sleeps on my arm already, but his previous owner never put him in a tank and I need to put him in a tank when I am not home.
Anywho, he likes to perch on top of my head!
apparently I am a tree, even tho I am the shortest person of my friends and family. (except for my mother and sister of course)
So In Other News:
I got my first tattoo the other day.
It is a bar of music on my thigh, and the script under it says:
If music be the food of love, sing on, sing on,
sing on till I filled with joy
... It hurt like a mother fucker!
The guy had to push down with his tattoo gun to do straight lines, and not for them to be wobbly.
It's still healing, so when it's healed I'll try and post a picture
back to the drawing board for posting pics!! Please be patient
Peace!

Burning Up the Midnight Oil
SO TODAY...
I am finally fully recovered from my all nighter shift.
We had some renos at my store, and there were a bunch of us girls who were there, most of them were only till 10 and then some of us were 10 till 6am!!! it was so much fun.
at some point or another I got this huge boost of energy and was extremely chipper. and the girls just looked at me like I should jump off the banister in the mall and plummet to my certain death!
I actually really only got tired about half an hour after I was supposed to be off! I ended up staying till 7! wwwhhheeeeeeeeee!
On my way out of the mall, I meandered down the empty hallway towards my car, and slowly closed my eyes, in small periods that lased a little longer.
... think blinking in slow motion!
anywho, I ended up closing my eyes for a fair minute and opened them just as I walked into the wall! I had the indent of ridged ornate bricks on my forhead!
ouch!
in other news:
Otafest is this weekend! Yay! geeky anime convention! I JUST finished my costume last night and it seriously is awesome!I am going as the chick from Team Magma from Pokemon! I've also made snorlax's costume and chancey's! All I have left to do is paint the pokeballs for my belt!
also this week, I have taught one of my guy friends to wax his own legs! (don't ask me why, most men when they wear short shorts for a costume they just shave!)
he's a Go-Big-or-Go-Home kind of person!
Also, this weekend I am getting my first tattoo!
you'll just either have to see me to know what it is or whenever I get around to posting pictures!
I know I know, I still owe you guys pictures from Alice
I'm actually going to do it the second I post this!
I AM GOING TO LA SOON!
I know it's pretty lame but I have submitted a tattoo idea to High Voltage Tattoo (Think LA Ink), I am hoping to hear from them soon! I mean I know they accept walk in but I really want them to do it and an appointment would be better, because then I can also choose the artist.
I will be going at the end of June! It's gonna be so hot! I'll probably want to walk around naked, or just set up a kiddie tent right next to the air conditioning. But I'll probably have to fight my fiance for that spot!
Also, coming up is the food crusade! I will be posting the final 100 places soon!
Ciao Bellas

Move Over Diamonds, Panties are my Best Friend!
SO TODAY...
is a wonderful day to update!
3rd update for the day! As today is a wonderful day!
as the last update was for nearly a week ago, this is one for the last few days!
and what's so super dooper special that I am updating 3 times today?
... well...
I've been working (Taa Daa!)
I know I know that probably wasn't what you were thinking was so special except except...
I LOVE MY JOB!
|I wake up every morning and think omg! I have the best job in the world!
.. I have this weird thing about underwear. I love panties, and take pride in wearing cute panties that make my ass look absolutely fantastic. In any color I like, and comfortable. And matching it with a bra that makes my rack look good and perky.
Hey, I may be a curvy girl with a little extra fat around the middle, but I have natural god-given rack that is hugely fabulous with an ass that skinny girls are jealous about that makes jeans look good.
... what can I say? I love my job!
anywho, as the new assistant manager I get to do things I love, catching small details and making sure things are running smoothly, and things are done.
... Yes I am a control freak, why do you ask?
well apparently they really like me, because I am taking over one of the largest stores in the city!
In other news, today in a specific incident, I was in the back room of my new store, getting familiar with all the stock and it's home on the shelves and one of the girls that was filling the floor asked me to pull this pink frilly bra.
and in the back of my head I hear a phrase. A drunken phrase that I find spitefully annoying. My friend quotes it frequently and it just gets under my skin.
"pink... is the new black." says a drunk avenged sevenfold member in a terribly cutesy but certainly drunk voice. "pink."
it repeated over and over in my head and i found myself saying that annoying phrase.
"pink, is the new black. pink..."
"pink, is the new black. pink..."
"pink, is the new black. pink..."
"pink, is the new black. pink..."
"pink, is the new black. pink..."
"pink, is the new black. pink..."
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
as I had this annoying voice reigning over what I was hearing, I thought about pummeling my dearly (soon to be departed) friend.
Rest in Peace Friend
you only have moments to live, so I would run little prey, because you are my friend, I will give you a head start 5 seconds.
1...2...3... BANG!
too bad! you suck!
FOOD CRUSADE STARTING!! EMAIL ME YOUR SUGGESTIONS!

It's Just a Jump to the Left
SO TODAY
I have plenty to report, My computer has been down since tuesday, so let's pretend we go back in time and it's tuesday.
let's do the time warp again!
[crazy dance]
So tuesday, I unexpectedly had the day off, so I decided to get some errands done! I went to chapter's to get a day timer. Because they have very chick (sh-ee-ck) portable cute daytimers (usually, anyways). Well... they didn't have any daytimers. Apparently May of that year is a bad time to get a day timer for the year we are in.
Go Figure!
anywho, since it is one of my fav stores (you don't want to know how how much I "saved" when my reminder to renew my card comes in), I decided to take a gander around the store. With me was a good friend and my fiance. We found this book that is called "Undateable".
... wtf?
So we flip through it and it was a book about what makes a man "undateable" and if you have nay of these characteristics, you would be considered undateable to sexy single women. The first couple were self explanatory. 1. bad facial hair (teen 'stach, soul patch, food in your big beard) 2. wigger clothes, when you are a upper class white man 3. moobs ect... and then there are a few that I really don't understand. Such as making movie references, or play DnD, and others like it.
... Things like that are a personal choice, I love DnD, I can understand people who don't understand. But hey, that turns my crank that people can strategize and have a big enough imagination to play these kind of games without any visual aids!
I know that not all people get that or are interested, but there are a lot of good looking social people who play DnD! We even group together to play in large groups, in the geek community. with some very attractive people, not just pimply little snot-nosed kids, who wear capes everywhere! but hey they do exist.
So, after being slightly offended (even though it's not directed at, but is trying to tell males what I want apparently), I flipped to the back!
SHE WAS A CHACHI BIMBO!!!
"ugly, but thinks I'm pretty" face with some not so very attractive man who has the smile of a douche bag, like "oh yea... you know you want me"
... uh, NO!!!!
anywho, after getting a good laugh at that stupid bitch, I decided that since I was alone for the night (my lovable fiance was working), I called up two of my guy friends (from my DnD group) and we went to Boston Pizza.
... we only went there because we couldn't decide on a place that had something we all liked
anywho, so I wasn't driving for once and so decided that I would treat myself to an alcoholic drink that I haven't indulged in for a while (it could be because I live with 2 recovering alcoholics hmmm... ) and ordered a cosmo. When it arrived, she said that they taste like ether. my response...
"Potion?"
She looked at me funny, and as she walked away, I asked one of my friends.
"I know the video game reference, but what the hell, in the real world, is ether?"
here was his response.
"In Final Fantasy, ether potions increase your mana. In pokemon, it increases your power points (for those who don't understand, that's ok), in the real world, it is a form of the date rape drug!" [his voice, is that of pleasantness, as though he is describing a peaceful happy scene]
... yummy!
momentarily after this little description, a waiter walks by, with a small patch of hair on his jawline, but it is 3 inches to the right of his face from where it's supposed to be...
UNDATEABLE!!!!
also, within the same dinner session, both of my friends received a phone call from a person I'm trying to avoid.
at comic con, there was s guest that this person who I wasn't trying to avoid at the time wanted her signature. He gave me his bag and gave me some money to get signed. Problem was, he gave it to me saturday night, and she wasn't there sunday. (AARGH!) So I had every intention of giving him back his bag and money, I had it in my vehicle to give to him.
But instead of texting me or messaging me where we can meet up, he called up my friends and asked them for my address.
... is he planning to rob my house?
No he didn't ask them to tell me to call him, or pass along the message about his bag and money. he essentially harrased my friends and fiance (yes my fiance) for my address!!!
CREEPY!!!
Dear Creep,
If I wanted you to know where I lived, I would have told you already.
you are a terribly annoying person, who I have protected to my friends and people who know you, who don't particularily like you, and yet here you prove them right and my wrong that you are just plain creepy and annoyoing.
thank you asshole, Go Fuck Yourself
love truly,
Tasha

Much Ado About Nothing
SO TODAY...
I ponder about the last week or so, and how terribly busy I have been.
I have succeeded is slaying the monster that is finding a new job! Rolling extreme crit 20's (whoo hoo) I slayed the beast, looted the body and gained plenty of experience and some good cash!
I am now the assistant manager for a location of LaSenza. (Yay! underwear!) I have been training at one location and I ADORE the people there. They all have been understanding as I blunder around, figuring out how to manage and do all the regular duties as well (I rolled a lot of 1 and 3's when learning these new found skills in the last week).
I am also recovering from the solid weekend at the comic expo here in Calgary. The official Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo just passed and it was FREAKIN AWESOME!!!
There was an awesome guest of Leonard Nimoy, and Alina Pete from Weregeek [www.weregeek.com], and many more. I decided to harass Ryan Sohmer (writer of Least I Could Do and Looking for Group) on behalf of Lar Desouza (the artist), who wants to print a poster and more merchandise for the "Least I Could Do" comic, which was much needed!
I took a shit load of pictures of awesome costumes, and one of a girl that I had no idea what she was, but a friend who came with me knew her. So I did the polite thing and took her picture.
oooo...ooo...ooooo SOMEONE DRESSED LIKE THE OLD SPICE GUY! he had an old spice bottle to pose with and everything. I squee'd while taking his picture.
ooo...ooo...oooo and and and and.... I'm going to see Dr.Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog here in Calgary. YAY! Captain Hammer! and and and Dr.Horrible!
bad horse, bad horse
he rides across the nation
the thoroughbred of sin
He got the application
That you just sent it
It needs evaluation
So let the games begin
A heinous crime, a show of force
A murder would be nice of course
(by the way if you haven't figured it out, it's the lyrics for the bad horse theme song, the ultimate villain)
In other news, the food crusade starts in a month, and I need some suggestions for other places. I will be posting a listing of all the places that I will be visiting.
the rules?
Not part of a chain
can include coffee places, wine tastings, breakfast, or anything of the sort, that feeds your stomach in any way shape or form
no night clubs, but good pubs with good food are acceptable
nothing with food poisoning records please, this is supposed to be an enlightening experience not the sickening experience.
I LIKE THE CONTENTS OF MY STOMACH WHERE THEY ARE THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
anywho with much news, I am hoping to update more now that I have settled into my job, and with the food crusade there will be definite food for thought

nothing with food poisoning records please, this is supposed to be an enlightening experience not the sickening experience.
I LIKE THE CONTENTS OF MY STOMACH WHERE THEY ARE THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
anywho with much news, I am hoping to update more now that I have settled into my job, and with the food crusade there will be definite food for thought

Miss Independant
SO TODAY...
well actually yesterday since it is 6:35 in the morning, I discovered something rather interesting.
The men in my life are as addicted to trash television as I am.
Yesterday was a day of absolutely nothing but laundry and tv. And not movies or any shows like lost or NCIS, but more along the lines of:
What not to wear
Rich bride poor bride
say yes to the dress
till debt do us part
so... really trashy tv!
earlier in the day my friend Evan (names have been changed to protect the guilty) came over as I was watching a small What Not To Wear marathon. I sat there, with the remote in hand waiting for him to say something about changing the channel.
.... He did not say a word.
We watched it for 3 or 4 hours before he had to go to work. And then shortly after, my fiance and our other good friend Calvin (name also has been changed), came over. Now I had to work in just over an hour, so I went to get ready. The show on the tv was Say Yes to the Dress. I come back almost an hour later and they are still watching it. With what I like to call "TV Face" expressions plastered on their face.
I was a good girl and the whole time I waited for any of them to say even the glimpse of "let's change the channel" and I got zip. Apparently, the men in my life enjoy bitchy people telling others how t dress, and brides who freak out about everything and joyous tacky weddings.
... but then, who doesn't?
in other news...
If I were an 80 year old woman, I would probably have had a heart attack yesterday.
not only did I get the job I REALLY wanted, the union came down from my work to talk about issues I am having with my current company. they have taken my situation very very seriously! which in itself is exciting, because I expected them not to even talk to me, to be perfectly honest.
also, I looked up the venue for the Lady Gaga tickets I got for the Edmonton show and the energy was threatening to spill out of me, because it is literally 5 minutes away from where I am staying. SSSQQQQUUUUEEEEEEE!!!! Lady Gaga!!!!
also, because I have this new job, I will be able to save my money to save for my wedding and most likely moving out with my fiance and not be stuck living with my parents, not that I do not love them in any way. I feel that at this point in my life, I should be living on my own to learn my own lessons (yes, I have lived on my own before, I had to move home when I went back to school). Anything in this point in my life, I will have to learn the hard way, which is the gosh honest truth!
When you reach the ages of the early twenties, you stop learning from your folks (no one dare deny it!!!!) and there comes a point when, well, you just have to learn on your own! It can be sad for a parent to watch, but in the end it's better for ourselves.
When we reach this age, we can be really little shits to our parents and loved ones, because, well, apparently the world has nothing left to teach us.m
... you couldn't be more wrong
