A waste
I am in a shit mood. To alleviate my foul temper, I tend to get in the car and drive aimlessly. And while I think it's better than drinking myself into a numb stupor, I feel that my actions are selfish. If I was a drunk, I'd only really be hurting myself (and the cat, and a few close bystanders). But because I can only solve my deeply boring emotional issues through the burning of fossil fuels, I kind of depress myself further by thinking of my contribution to the downfall of the whole damn planet.
Thankfully my mind negates all this self-deprecating mastubatory garbage somewhere on the Lougheed Highway after the third or fourth repeat of Toronto's "Your Daddy Don't Know".
There are a few things I listen to to cheer myself up, but lately it's been Tom Gabel's "Anna is a Stool Pigeon". Based on a true story, it makes me glad that the gub'mint didn't entrap me and send me to jail for 19 years. That's another thing I do: I like to compare my life to those who have made terrible public errors. Comair Flight 191 happened a few days after I nearly got fired for playing Scrabble at work. I may not have my shit together when it comes to workplace ethics, but at least I didn't violated sterile cockpit rules.
Now I am watching NTSB animations about derailments. "Let’s look at the effects of crosstie abrasion in more detail."
Anyways. Q&A time. What songs and/or random things cheer you up?
I
am going to read a book this weekend, dammit! I don't speak so well anymore, my brain is mushy and I am slow. I attribute this to not reading things with big words that aren't entertainment oriented legalese. I was so good with adjectives and adverbs, quick witted insults and speaking without thinking first. I wanna go back to school.
.....random musings.....
Has anyone ever seen The Worst Witch besides me? Hour long TV movie made in 1988 about a little girl at a witch academy who was not very good at learning how to be a witch? It had Tim Curry in it and he was the Grand Wizard and sang this fucking awful song infront of the shittiest green screen effects known to man?
Scrabble
Next weekend I will be playing in a tournament.
I would like to practice as much as possible in the upcoming week. If you see me online, challenge me to a game via Gtalk, AIM, ICQ or MSN.

BAHHH new Word Press so soon?!
Happily Ever After
I have to gloat, I have to dance, for hope has been restored within me. Today I found out that one of my very good friends got engaged over the weekend. What has given me hope is that this kind of thing is still possible, because I was beginning to really believe that successful and committed relationships have gone the way of the dodo bird. This friend of mine went out with her now ex-boyfriend for 5 fucking years, and in that entire time, he did not propose. By the time their relationship ended, he was a 30 year old man who had JUST moved out of his parents' house, and it wasn't that he didn't have the means, in fact he had a very steady and good paying job that would have enabled him to move out long before, he just didn't want to leave the comforts of "home". I am finding that nowadays this is an all too common problem amongst guys, especially in this city. Guys try to milk the whole "my mom does my laundry while I go to work and make $40 an hour and come home to my XBox and my weed and occasionally text message my chick" for as long as they can, and it is this mentality that recently cemented the notion that a girl like me is doomed to spend the rest of her life alone with the occasional failed relationship here and there, as has been the case thus far. My friend's relationship with this dude ended because he was feeling pressured to make a committment, he - a 30 year old man with a steady job and a beautiful girlfriend (she is gorgeous!) - felt pressured to grow the fuck up already and quit stringing her along. So he broke up with her, instantly regretted it and then proceeded to try to get back into her life for the better part of a year until she broke the news to him that she met somebody else. This guy, who she has been seeing for not terribly long and seems like an extremely nice guy and an all around winner who has his shit together, propsed to her. It is the best news I have heard in a long time, after seeing so many broken relationships amongst my friends simply because the loser guys they were dating wouldn't grow the fuck up and take the relationship seriously. It gives me hope. It isn't as though settling down and getting married is a huge priority for me at this point in my life, being only 23 and having a job that is more demanding than a two year old taking a temper tantrum in a toy store because they aren't getting that new Barbie doll, but I have been put through the ringer more times than I care to count and that alone has soured me on the concept of love and being able to be happy with somebody. Perhaps there is a light at the end of this tunnel.
Ghost
Do you ever just have a week where people's rudeness is just so much more noticable than others? I swear, I have never been walked into, pushed aside and treated so callously more than I have this week. People are just so fucking rude, and mean. It is like "sure, just walk right into me and push me aside while you are walking towards me, as though I am a fucking ghost and then proceed to give me a dirty look because you had to bump into me" You know what? From now on when that happens or it looks like it is going to happen, i am just going to stand firm instead of trying to get out of the way. If people want to do that, they will have to accept that doing so will entail an "accidental" elbow to the ribs, "oops!". And then there was tons of "Yes, just congregate in the middle of the already overcrowded sidewalk and make me walk out into the street with the traffic to get around you and your retarded friends." From now on, I am just going to walk right in the middle of people who choose to do that and shout "EXCUSE ME!" as I do it. And then today at the grocey store this fucking idiot chick was pushing her cart and it was impossible to get around her, and then she just stops and blocks the way while me and a bunch of other people are trying to pass by. What a fucking moron! I seriously believe, 100%, that there are more and more people that truly believe the world revolves around them. This behaviour has just been so prominent this week, it is like everyone swallowed the ignorant pill and turned into an asshole. I swear if one more person bumps into me...look out!
Career Choices
I guess housewife is no longer where it's at.
I want to be a football coach. For real.
MACGRUBER!
Best recurring SNL sketch in a loooong time:

My favorite is the financial crisis one.
Not since the days of Will Ferrell have I laughed this hard at an SNL sketch.
The College University of North Twofino
I'm probably not allowed to name anything ever. During a pitch for a condo development entitled "Windsong" I proposed the tagline "It Blows" but no one went for it (yes Windsong is a lame name too, but it's not mine). I also tried to name a roofing company "Potentshell - The Building Condoms". But the worst thing ever is leaving me alone with anagrams.
