crushes

Crushes can be so frustrating at times, it's like "do you like me, do you hate me, do you even know I exist?". The guy I like is cute, nice, funny, and intelligent; all the guys I have ever liked are smart guys, that's what I find attractive (I know this sounds superficial, but he's also gotta be somewhat good looking, but that's not a problem because all the smart guys in my school are pretty cute). I've sorta liked a few guys that were funny and not that smart at all, but those weren't serious crushes, more like random flirting. The guys that I have had serious crushes on were all really smart though, the guy I used to like liked me too, some people thought we were going out, but he never had the guts to ask me out and now he's moved away and I'm over it. The guy before that was this sweet shy guy, but he moved away in like grade 7. I liked this guy before him that nearly every other girl in my grade liked, but I soon realized that he may be smart, but he is still a total idiot. The guy I like right now is in my Math and English class, and is a friend of a friend of mine, I'm not sure when I started liking him but the point is I do; and I am stuck just wondering if he likes me. Sometimes he acts all cute with me, and I think he likes me, but other times it's like he doesn't see me. Knowing my luck, he probably doesn't like me, and that really sucks. I probably have the crappiest luck in the world fyi, but that's a whole other post, that I'll probably eventually put up here as soon as it either hits rock bottom or gets a hell of a lot better. But right now its about at the "sorta sux, but could be worse" level and that's just boring to read: It's not a super sad story that you would think is the plot to a movie, and its not inspiring either, it just sux. Allrighty, I'm going to stop going on about my crappy life and get back on topic. So anyways, there are several opportunities where I might have a chance at him; there's the band trip in april (btw, we're not an American Pie type of band ie. sex freaks), and then there's the 30 hour famine sleep over at the school in May. There'll be far less people at the famine than at the band trip (10-15 people compared to 100), but none of the people I actually hang out with are at the famine, so I might be a bit less comfortable. At least at the band trip I got my best friend there to help me.

Customer Appreciation Day

I don't know whether it was just at my DQ, or all DQ, or all businesses, but it was customer appreciation day, and we had half off all double cheeseburgers and peanut buster parfaits. I NEVER want to see another parfait again! I made so many of those I started putting peanuts in everything. And I certainly didn't appreciate the customers that, for one reason or another, thought it was a good idea to smear cookie dough and cheese all over the inside of the playplace.
Although I did appreciate the nice customer that tipped me :) . All's well that ends well I guess, everyone working till close like me got a free blizard so it's all good.

Hockey Commercials

The top three in my mind
----------------------------------------
#3

I don't know what it is about this commercial, it has intensity, ferocity, and hockey...and for some reason I love it. Maybe that's just because I'm a hockey nut, but I think that it is well made. Too bad there's no Oilers (at least not that I saw).

"Give them nothing, but take from them EVERYTHING!"
(...wish the Oilers would adopt that mentality, instead of the complete opposite.)
------------------------------------
#2



This one is hillarious. "OVECHKIN!" hahaha.

------------------------------------
...and the #1 hockey commercial...



"I got a toonie" lol that is so funny

Oilers Autographs

1:00-2:30 Sunday March 4th
West Edmonton Mall

Time I got there at: 10:30am. I knew that the Smith/Roli line would be longest so I camped out there. It was HUGE, but I was like, 20th. That line moved so fast, and the two were there earlier than everyone else, so some of the other lines hadn't even moved yet.
Autos I got: Smith, Roloson, Greene, Lupul, Stortini, Sykora. I also got pictures up close with them while they were signing my hat. They smiled for the camera and everything, it was great!
Location of autos: My pink Oilers hat. The guy at the 46/71 line was all like "there's no more autograph cards" (he was lying btw) and I almost laughed at the look on his face when i told him I had my hat to sign.
Best part: Stortini and Sykora staying past 2:30. That was so nice of them!
Worst part: the people running it. Jerk cut me off at the Pisani/Markkanen line. And the girls at the counter always told my sister not to take pictures until she was behind the rope.

That about sums it up

Embarassing moment

so i go to work yesterday thinking i had to work 5pm-9pm. but at 7pm i looked at the schedual to find that i wasnt even supposed to be there. my face was so red!!

wow...its been a while

it has been so long since i've updated my blogsite that i forgot it existed! this is mainly because of my stupid PC. It has more viruses than the sick ward at the hospital. That is why I am saving my money to buy an apple notebook, a Macbook. Of course I wont buy it until the new leopard software comes out later this year, because it would just be plain stupid to buy it now. there are so many reasons to get a mac instead of a PC. Im sure you've seen the Ads with Justin Long. I also have my own reasons, and one of them is that i share this computer with my two siblings and mother, so you could only imagine the junk on it, as well as the lack of time i have recieved for computer use. the computer is also in my mothers' room, who is a control freak that even if she's not even home will not allow anybody to use the computer just because it's in her room (but i do anyways...like right now lol). so, once i get my macbook, i will be able to update my site as often as possible :)

Computer Mouse

Ok, I was so pissed off last night because my computer mouse (the old fashioned kind with the ball at the bottom) stopped working, so you had to move it around for like, a minute, so that it would move an inch across the screen. I was so pissed off! But now it's good because I invested in one of those mouse with the lazer instead of a ball and I advise you to do the same. It will save you a lot of time and frustration when your old mouse decides to stop working on you too.

Why I hate working in the food industry

Ya, i came home from work in a really bad mood today, so I'm just going to list a few points:

• The people you work with always have to be cheery, including yourself. A lot of times I'm delightfully glum, so you can see how this annoys me. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing people happy, it's phonies I hate. Also, you don't know if your co-workers are being passive agressive or sincere. One thing I hate is insincere people.
• The floors are so fricken greasy and slippery!
• I come home smelling like milk, ew.
• People in the fryers go home smelling like grease, poor them.
• Customers sometimes can be so picky annoying.

I'd quit, but I just started, so I'm just going to put up with this for a bit. If by the beginning of next summer I still want to, I'll quit.

Banff

My family and I went to Banff last weekend. It was great, relaxing to. Here is what we did:

• Hiked in Johnson Canyon
• Saw Moose with big antlers
• Saw family of elk
• Played tennis
• Played billiards
• Went to bow falls
• Bought delicious chocolates made with 100% pure maple syrop

We made pretty good time for only two days.

Three Days Grace

Three days grace is my ABSOLUTE favorite band! Their music is so full of raw emmotion, and some of the lyrics I can relate to. Not to mention that their beat is awesome. I love all of their songs, both of their CDs I can listen to without skipping songs.
======================================================
QUOTES FROM EACH SONG
Scared- "so real these voices in my head"
Riot- "If you feel so empty, so used up, so let down"
Pain- "This life is filled with hurt when happiness doesn't work"
It's all over- "And now you're dead inside, still you wonder why"
I hate everything about you- "Everytime we lie awake, after every hit we take"
Animal I have become- "Somebody help me through this nightmare, I can't control myself"
Just like you- "You thought you were there to guide me, you were only in my way"
Drown- "If I needed someone to control me, if i needed someone to hold me down"
Gone forever- "I'm not lying, denying, that I feel so much better"
Let you down- "When you finally trust me, finally believe in me"
Over and Over- "I know what's best for me, but I want you instead"
Are you ready- "So, you think you know how this story goes"
Born like this- "It's not what I took from you, It's not what I stole"
Burn- "I'll tell you now that you can't win this"
Get out alive- "If I go I can only hope, that I make it to the other side"
Home- "No matter how hard I try, you're never satisfied"
Let it die- "It's not fair when you say that I didn't try, I just don't care about you anymore"
Never too late- "The world we new, won't come back"
Now or never- "Now's the time for us to lose"
On my own- "Like she told me, I'm just a big disgrace"
One X- "We get knocked down, we get back up and stand above the crowd"
Overrated- "They give us answers, to questions they don't even know"
Running away- "But will you pick me up, will you leave me on the ground"
Take me under- "I've done my share of waiting, and "I still have no where else to go
Time of dying- "Was it all too much, or just not enough"
Wake up- "I'm not angry all the time, you push me down at least you try"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
from 'Scared' to 'Over and Over' they are in order as my favorites, the rest are alphabetical

Funny stories from work

The people who handle your food aren't perfect...

All of the cupboards have a hole at the top in case you want to put a garbage can in there. One of the cupboards had boxes of those little condiment packets, and somebody thought it was a garbage and threw an entire ice cream cone in there.

This one guy was so nervous on his first day that he made a burger without a bun.

Three of us were working the drivethru one day; I was greeting the customer and handing out the food, Cheryl was making the food, and Megan was taking the orders. This one guy ordered a burger with no bacon, and a small dip cone. When i handed the order out the window, I read the screen and it said
1 burger
1 small dip cone
---no bacon
I couldn't help but laugh as I handed out the order.

Ashlea and I were working the drivethru one day when she asks me, "you know that song 'everytime we touch, i get this feeling, everytime we kiss, i swear i can fly...'" then she starts dancing to it, and she dances right in front of the window where the customer is just thinking 'wtf?'. Then she turns around (still dancing) and sees the customer. lol she jumps back out of view and we are just laughing our heads off. Then she tells me of this time she was working drivethru and she sees her friend's car and the person in the car kind of looks like her friend, so she starts banging on the window screaming "ABBY ABBY, HEY ABBY!" and the woman looks just horrified.

As a joke a girl dares her friend to ask a woman "would you like fries with that?" when she orders fries. lol she actually did it.

Well DUH!

I hate it when people state the obvious. Don't they have anything better to do than say what everyone else knows? Like when I made my first desktop theme, I knew that it looked like a beginner file, anyone who downloaded it probably did too, but then I got this dumb ass telling me "this is obviously a beginners file" of course it looks like that you moron! you even said it yourself by using the word "obviously". If it is so obvious, (which it is,) I'm sure nobody would have a problem with figuring it out themselves. Do these people ever think?

How to get out of a speeding ticket (dont actually try this)

A police officer pulls a guy over for speeding and has the following exchange:

Officer: May I see your driver's license?
Driver: I don't have one. I had it suspended when I got my 5th DUI.

Officer: May I see the owner's card for this vehicle?
Driver: It's not my car. I stole it.

Officer: The car is stolen?
Driver: That's right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the owner's card in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there.

Officer: There's a gun in the glove box?
Driver: Yes sir. That's where I put it after I shot and killed the woman who owns this car and stuffed her in the trunk.

Officer: There's a BODY in the TRUNK?!?!?
Driver: Yes, sir.

Hearing this, the officer immediately called his captain. The car was quickly surrounded by police, and the captain approached the driver to handle the tense situation:

Captain: Sir, can I see your license?
Driver: Sure. Here it is. It was valid.

Captain: Who's car is this?
Driver: It's mine, officer. Here's the owner's card. The driver owned the car.

Captain: Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see if there's a gun in it?
Driver: Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it. Sure enough, there was nothing in the glove box.

Captain: Would you mind opening your trunk? I was told you said there's a body in it.
Driver: No problem. Trunk is opened; no body.

Captain: I don't understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license, stole the car, had a gun in the glovebox, and that there was a dead body in the trunk.
Driver: Yeah, I'll bet the lying s.o.b. told you I was speeding, too!

Annoying stuff

People who point at their wrist while asking for the time. I know where my watch is buddy, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the bathroom is?

People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.

When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Screw off. What good is a goddamn cake if you can't eat it? What, should I eat someone else's cake instead?

When people say "It's always in the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?

When people say, while watching a movie "Did you see that?" No dicknose, I paid $9.00 to come to the theatre and stare at the frigging ceiling up there. What did you come here for?

When something is "new and improved", which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it.

When a cop pulls you over and then asks if you know how fast you were going? You should know asshole, you frigging pulled me over.

When people say "Life is short." What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What? Are they going to do something that's longer?

When people ask "Can I BORROW a piece of paper?" Sure, but please don't return the favor! It's one god damn piece of paper!

When you are waiting for the bus and someone ask you "Did the bus come yet?" If the bus came I would not be standing here asshole!

People who ask "Can I ask you a question?" Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya buddy?

Dream Car

My dream car is a mercedes benz converable in silver. i dont know exactly which model, because by the time i get it, there would be a different model. But mercedes are sleek, stylish, sophisticated, and hot.

Warrior Cats

***Spoilers Ahead***
I love these books, they are about forest cats, and I am a huge cat-lover! There are two series' to the theme, two different generations of cats.

The first series is of 6 books revolving around the life of a kittypet (housecat) named rusty (he has a very orange pelt). He dreams of something beyond his ordinary life, and his dream comes true when he meets some "clan" cats when he explores outside of his yard. They accept him into the Thunderclan as an apprentice and give him the new name of Firepaw, and by the end of book 1, he becomes the warrior known as Fireheart. He and the clan go through much over the series, from rifts with the other clans; Shadowclan, Riverclan, and Windclan; to the menace of Tigerclaw, later to be Tigerstar (-star is the suffix given to clan leaders), to the dwindling sanity of their leader, Bluestar. Fireheart loses much throughout the series; a love, a friend, an apprentice, and his former mentor and admired leader. Through all of this, he eventually rises up and leads the clan to a victory over the greatest threat the clan had faced yet (little did they know that that was not the worst to come). The clans are guided by StarClan, who only medicine cats and sometimes leaders have a connection to, but Fireheart believes that even before he joined the clans, he had been lead in his dreams by StarClan. Find out what happens in Erin Hunter's first series WARRIORS in "Into the Wild", "Fire and Ice", "A Forest of Secrets", "The Rising Storm", "A Dangerous Path", and "The Darkest Hour".
FIRE ALONE WILL SAVE OUR CLAN

Hunter's second series is called THE NEW PROPHECY. It is the next generation of clan cats, mainly the kits of Firestar and Sandstorm, Tigerclaw, and Graystripe, as well as a windclan apprentice. There are currently four books in this series, I am awaiting the fourth to arrive at my library. You should read the first series to better understand this one. One cat from each clan recieves a dream from Starclan to go to a sun-drown place (the ocean most likely) to listen what midnight tells them. There will be a great danger comming to the forest and they have to find out what to do and where to go. On the journey, friendships are formed, romances spark, and a tragic loss faces the journeying cats. I won't say anymore, partly because you'll have to read the series yourself, and partly because I am tired of typing.

Read this series and you will enjoy it.
