Loverboy
Oy. Saturday looked like a glum day of doing nothing special... Amber called (a bit later than expected... round 1-ish) so that we could finally head out to get Greg's arm inspected at New Moon (from the outside it looks like it could be a pawn shop, and the driveway is on quite the strange angle... if there was a flood in Ottawa, New Moon would be safe Ill tell ya that)... turns out its gonna cost approx. 200-300 dollars!! Much more than I thought it would be... but I suppose a celtic arm band isnt exactly a breeze. Yeah, so after the 5 minutes consultation we headed over to Timmies then to Bayshore. I spent too much money --- again. Bought a stripped jacket thing, a few shirts, 3 cute bras, and some useless and unreturnable jewelry. We all headed home and what not... I went inside, nothing unusual, mom wanted to see what I bought, nothing unusual, round the corner to the living room and see... friends?! What?! Decorations!? Que?! "Surprise!!" oooooh... YAY!!!
Apparently, my mother had recruited Amber to gather a guest list... and apparently Im very bad at reading clues. Like when the rents came home from Costco with so much food that it didnt all fit in the freezer/fridge... damn the atypically large bag of buns! Why didnt I know... well I suspected... but alas! From my mother?! Ive been writing about her as if she doesnt care... and she even potentially found me a job! The bitch. Im JOKING!!!! She organized a surprise party, cooked the food, made sure there were activities (Cranium was a hit! Karaoke was crazay also...), got me OUT of the house just to get me OUT...
Thanks so much to those who came : Pink Taco, Shan, Marky Mark, Piecewise, Wheaty, Amba, Manaanan, Alex J, Alex B, Whitest of the White, Olga, Eleanor... sorry if I forgot ya... Im excessively exhausticated today.... uh... Darth Maul!? Shame shame on those who didnt come and didnt have a good excuse not to be there... *cough cough* Andrew.
Now I be at school, wishing I was at home... Phil, John, Vivek, Amba and I have been hanging out a loooot lately. Friday we all walked from school and got some ice cream at za driving range then proceeded to my place for some Cranium and hot tubbing. John is a hairy hairy man. Amba could keep her feet off me!! AAAH!!! All that was followed by dinner at Broadways then movie at Amba's... we watched 'Spinal Tap'. If youve seen this film, you know it needs no explanation... the name gives the viewer insight into the film.
Work yesterday was loooooooooOOOooong. I started at 1pm and ended promptly at 8pm. Not that long for some, but alas, it was very boring. I still want to smack the Doss children because of their immense lack of attention span/ ability to LISTEN. LISTEN. LISTEN. Its ridiculous. They are the reason Im losing my voice Im sure because I have to repeat everything to them both at least 3 times a piece! 3 TIMES A PIECE!! 3 TIMES A PIECE!!!
"Quiet! This is a LIBARIE!" yes, alas, tiz a libary, a libary with no books ... so perhaps its better suited to call it a grand space that houses tables and a blue couch. It also houses a bunch of cranky librarians who do not appreciate the value of one's free writing. You know what, Ive been thinking... Id be pretty cranky too if I was a librarian in a bookless library and I was expected to split the (non-)work with a pinched uptight shrew of a woman with a bad permanent. Indeed.
I dunno if Im going to keep my Modblog. I cant really figure it all out and besides, I already have an amazing LJ. What's the point!? Emma and Shan are in poetry land right now... Im gald I didnt take writer's craft, although Id rather be in writer's craft than Data management and/or BIO. My presentation was friday... Friday the 13th. It was kinda short, only 14.5 minutes, so I should be losing too many marks (15-20 minute presentation). I got some good questions and it looked like people appreciated the talking fetus at the very end. Oh, talking fetus.
I think this is all I wanted to say... Ollie has ketchup on his face... Okay, now Im done.
ciao xoxo,
YHN, Nicole
