Back to the Future!!! Prt 1

Well in the time I was away I made some general scrabbles about this and that so I'll just transcribe it from my notebook as quick recap:

Day 1- ...Aaaaand I know I'm home when I get straight innit. You know, the family pull and tugs of gossip, love, chastising, and hating. But it's okay. I've been training hard core for 21 years to deal with this foolishness. I get treated real nice (I love love love being spoiled. Yes, yes- LOVE ME!!! FFFFEEEEDDD MMMMEEE!!!!)

Plans to make money already falling through...I'm too lazy to be true.

Playlist: Kanye West "Roses"

Day 2 & 3- Sleep, chat with friends, and watch "A shot at love with Tila Tequila" with open mouthed fascination and repulsion combined. Lazed. Slowly getting into the roll of things. Very slowly and lazily. Highlight of day was watching Grandma putter...

Playlist: still Kanye West "Roses"

Day 4- Actually really nice day spent with stepmom and sister on various adventures. Almost each of us got to go to our favourite places. I took them to a craft show first. My stepmom got some jam. I had no idea she liked jam that much. It's wierd but have you ever known someone a long time and all of a sudden you realize there is a huge part of their life you know nothing about? Maybe I'm scrutinizing the jam too much but I'm pretty sure I only know the surface of a lot of people.
My sister got to go to Beadworks (after they overshot the store's location by two blocks *shakes head* and I'm suppoused to be the directionally challenged one!) and she got lots of beads and various bead supplies. She's really into this whole jewellery making business. And I got to go to Bookcity. Later on my sister and I went to Chapters and good times and adventures were had by all.

Wierdly I was getting flirted with left and right by fool after fool. It started with some guy named Gabriel (like the angel) who turned a simple handshake into a royal hand kiss and they just kept coming out of the wood work from there. But I have to admit the guy was such a helpful smarm...He's totally going to show up in one of my books.

Playlist ( a random composition but not that bad. ELLLAAA!!!) : Ella Fitzgerald "Imagination", Bullet for my Valentine "The Poison", Utada Hikaru "ASAP", Ella Fitzgerald "Gulf Coast Blues", Vanessa Carlton "This Time"

Mission: Job Hunt

Not much to post today. This week has been boring beyond belief. Found a great place to get my tattoo, did some projects (nearly there!!!), hung out with some friends. Discussed boobs and farts. So not much material there. Well…nothing I’d care to go into serious depth about right now.

I’m really broke so I’m on the hunt for jobs. I have a few things lined up and ready to go for next week. My family thinks I’m crazy. I never care about money. But I overspent last month so that needs to be corrected and rebalanced. In fact I’ll keep a daily diary on all the weird people I meet and report back. If I ever return from the craziness of the city part time cash job grab.

Mostly its focus groups ( I don’t have a child, smoke, or own a cat but for the purpose of obtaining funds I’m willing to lie… besides smoking is terrible so I’m bringing down the cigarette and tobacco industry from within their marketing department. They’ll never suspect me. Yes, one grain of a brick at a time people. As for the cat and child…I guess they could be negatives too. For example “The Exorcist”. That mother must have been very stressed by her child. And cats…cats look cuddly, sweet, and funny but that’s just what they want you to think.).

Actually there will probably be more posts next week because of my job diary and I’ll be visiting the “wilder” side of my family (I swear, despite appearances to the contrary, we actually love each other to death!!!) so I will probably have a daily rant.


Soundtrack (Even though some of my favourite artists are on here this is a pretty boring shuffle mix!!): Erase and rewind- The Cardigans, Deep River- Utada Hikaru, One Night Stand- The Pipettees, Get Right Remix- Jennifer Lopez, Can't Explain- Jill Scott, Given up- Linkin Park, Six different ways- The Cure, Lonely Lonely (Frisbee'd Mix)-Feist, No Solution- Sum 41, Concerto for 2 Violins in G Major, RV 516, II. Andante (molto)- Simon Standage, Elizabeth Wilcock & The English Concert (c. Trevor Pinnock), Tourniquet- Evanescence ...there's more but its just bad. Let's stop, say we did and don't.
