Where's Lucy? I Have Five Cents.....

Normally, I love Christmas. It's one of my favorite holidays. Second to Thanksgiving. But this year....I wish I could go to bed until the New Year. I thought I could hack this....but it's really tough to be away from your family at the holidays, especially when that's all you've ever known. I look at my tree....

Now there's lots of presents underneath it.....I have Christmas Cards on display....but I have no desire to play Christmas Carols...I caught myself singing one the other day and just felt sad. Sigh. I don't even want to open my presents anymore. I just want it to be done. Either that, or if someone could invent teleportation, that'd be sweet too.

I've watched almost all of my favorite childhood Christmas movies...except the original Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas. I spose I'll save that for my Christmas Eve.

I realize I won't be alone...I have my boyfriend, James. But it's just not the same. The only thing consistent is Mozart. But not even he's feeling festive. For the first time, he's started eating the fake Christmas tree!! He's never done that before!!

I think it's a sign. Wake me when it's 2010.


P.S. My BB still hasn't arrived....UPS/Purolator = on my shit list. 

T-Minus 1 Sleep....

I really want that BB. I want it, like, now. I have the whole day to dick around and figure it out....i'm quite eager for it.

And I'm quite annoyed at myself and Columbia House. First I'll start with the lack of Julie & Julia in my life. To me, the point of pre-ordering a dvd is so you can order it ahead of time, thus having it arrive in your mailbox when it hits stores. Am I right? Of course I am. Julie & Julia was released like last week.And I'm still waiting. I've put in a request to CH......and I hope they get back to me! I haven't paid for it yet, but IT WAS SUCH A GOOD MOVIE!!!! I want it! lol.

Now, why am I annoyed at myself? Last night I got REALLY drunk. I don't drink often, so I it hit me pretty hard. 3/4 of a 2-6 of Bacardi to be precise. I was at my aunt & uncle's place, and I was doing laundry....we had chinese food....played some dominoes and I just got wasted. Needless to say, I was sick from it. And feel like hell today. So remember kids, when you think haven't had enough to drink, get up! Walk around a little! Let that alcohol go to your head before you decide to have another one. Cuz once you do....and you get up...it will KNOCK you on your ass....

**ADDENDUM** I recently showed interest in getting a different car from a local dealership. I've told the sales guy like 4 times I'm not interested and he WILL NOT stop calling. FMylife.

T-Minus 2 Sleeps......

So I finally cracked and ordered a Black Berry (forever known as BB because I'm too lazy to type out the word every time, but not too lazy to give you this explanation).

Rogers tells me on Tuesday, I will have my new BB Curve 8900 in my hot, little hands. I'm pretty fucking stoked. Mainly because I need a new phone, and because it's something I've never owned before.

Fancy eh? The only difference is mine will be black. I have no idea how to operate it, so this could be an adventure.But what I DO know about BBs, they have pin things that allow for BBM. That being said, if you have a PIN, comment on this blog entry and i'll add you :) I'm interested to see who actually reads this. Aside from Jake. And Lindsay. Anyways, I've been watching reviews on YouTube, and it looks like it was an excellent decision!

Do you own a BB? What are your fav apps? What do you like about it? Dislike? I wanna know!

What the HELL???

Watch it to the end....it's worth it....

Not just a funny website with hilarious-can't-believe-this-is-real stories.

No.

Fuck MY life.

I moved into my new apartment Oct 1. I was going to be living with 2 other girls. As the days went on, Roommate 1 and I started drifting (not that we were close to begin with, but it was getting to the point of being uncomfortable), and Roommate 2 and I became REALLY close. This past week, it had gotten to the point where Roommate 2 and I were doing things exclusively. We would invite Roommate 1 to come and hang out, but she was always wanting to stay in her room.

This past Sunday, Roommate 1 tells us she's moving out Nov 1. She's offered to leave us the entire damage deposit, even though neither of us paid any of it to begin with, so we thought that was nice of her. And she is paying rent for November. Awesome right?

The plot thickens.....

Today she tells me that we will need to hook up the power in my name, because they won't transfer the account for the apartment. This means Roommate 2 and I have to come up with a $200 deposit!!!

Sigh. She`s very inconsiderate. We plan on being complete bitches to her. I`m so over it. I wanted to keep the peace, and try and be amicable about the whole thing, but she`s pushed me over the edge.

AAAAAAH!!!

This story will continue another day...

Happy Thanksgiving....I Love My Career

HAPPY THANSKGIVING!!!!!

Man I love Thanksgiving. I get to spend time with family and friends, eat turkey and all kinds of goodies, drink a little, and not have to buy any presents. This is my favorite holiday, and the one I look forward to the most! I'm thankful for my family and loved ones, my job, the listeners, and everything in my life right now. I feel very fortunate.

Today I dine on the usual thanksgiving goodies. I'm very excited for some REAL food. I've been living on my own for a couple weeks, and I sure miss my aunt and uncle's cooking. Don't get me wrong, I love to cook and I'm good at it....it's just my cooking hasn't been that great when all I'm eating is frozen veggies, chicken breasts and apple cinnamon cheerios. Well that's half true. Anyways, I have family coming up from Edmonton and Calgary and I'm excited to see them, especially since I won't see my immediate family at Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Last night my roommate and I watched A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and A Garfield Thanksgiving It warmed my heart. I love those shows from my childhood.

IS NO ONE SAFE FROM H1N1???

So I'm going to confess something to you. And it's a confession I'm not afraid to make publicly on the internets.

I LOVE THE BACKSTREET BOYS!

I'm not shitting you. I have loved the BSB since they came out in the 90s. I never was a N*SYNC fan. Just BSB. That being said, I've seen them twice in concert. Once when I was in like, 8th grade, and again about a year ago. I just really enjoy their music and they put on a sweet show. Okay, okay...I swear, I'm getting to my point.

BRIAN LITTRELL HAS SWINE FLU

I know, right? Crazy! Check out this video for his message to his fans. Good God, he looks like hell. Not even B-Rock can pull this off. Now as far as I know, this is the first case of a celebrity being infected. Please, correct me if I'm wrong. Sorry the video is so big - I fail at embedding.

Poor guy!

The Move/Settling In Phase Continues

I realize it's been awhile since I posted an entry. I tell you - this moving thing is a pain in the ass. I moved in (officially) Sept 30th and I'm still not unpacked. Today's project involved hemming my curtains. Kinda.

I took the time to iron these damn things....and how do I hem them? Hang them and start cutting. Of course they're not straight. But at least there isn't 3 feet of curtain at the bottom, in a linen-puddle, collecting dust, dead skin cells and pet hair.

And Now My Ass Hurts

and my biceps...but not from anything fun. Yesterday, I moved. Well...90% of the way anyway. You see I've gotten myself into an apartment with a couple of roommates. This equals cheap rent.  I officially start living there October 1st, but Roommate 1 was kind enough to let me move my shit in early! So James and I moved 2 and a half carloads of crap up 3 flights of stairs, and into the apartment. In 28-degree weather. Booyashaka. Needless to say, I shoulda worn deoderant. Yeah, I admit it. I was sweaty...oh but think of the calories burnt!

Now kids, if you're going to do heavy lifting of any sort - whether it's furniture, equipment, or a fat chick....always remember to stretch!

*SHUDDER* Sorry folks. So yeah, stretching = important. Although I do feel as if I've taken a spin around the gym. Mind you the lit cigarette in my hand makes me think again.

The Alumni Factor & NPH

Today I received my diploma in the mail from the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology. I've been granted a diploma with honours from the Radio &Television (Radio) program. I'd like to think this is a really great accomplishment. I mean, I suppose it is. But it's not like my program was hard. Okay, I spose it's all relative. I mean, it's not like I learned how to perform brain surgery...or how to engineer the perfect skyscraper. So in that respect, taking radio was a cake walk. 

I suppose now that I think about it, I should be proud. I paid my tuition (well Steady Eddie helped too...that reminds me, I have to start paying his ass back soon - apparently my student loans are thiiiis big), and I showed up to almost every class. Except for those couple times I was sick, or it was too treacherous to make the commute...or that time I made the commute anyway and rolled my car...but regardless, I was more than happy to show up every day. Being in RTA (Radio & Television Arts) really brought me out of my shell. I'll never forget my first week, where I had to dance in front of the entire class while someone else beat boxed. Then Gazzola went after me, and did the exact same moves and got more cheers. What gives?


News had its hard moments too. For whatever reason I failed to grasp the concept of the clip/wrap story with different audio. I'm suprised I even passed news....I know I had a strong read, but that doesn't mean anything if you can't collect your thoughts properly. And let's be honest, I'm a big, fat, epic fail when it comes to interviewing. I never ask the right questions!


And lastly, probably the absolute hardest part of RTA...the part that I still struggle with, even though I'm an alumni with honours, Yoshi Valley on Mario Kart for N64. Those roads are so damn narrow, and everyone else (especially Amy) was so good at that level. It still haunts me to this day.

I need to buy a nice picture frame to display this accomplishment of graduating with honours. Because to the unsuspecting person, I'm gonna seem like a big deal.

  I would also like to say, Neil Patrick Harris did an absolutely AMAZING job hosting the Emmy's last night. I loved the way he handled everything and I nearly died when he did the Dr. Horrible vingette. WOW. So much so, that I'm making my boyfriend, James, watch Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog tonight. Happy 2 Monthaversary Dear.
