Messages From Beyond
So A and I did go to the psychic last night. The creepiest part was one of them totally reminded us of M. To the point where we wanted to call to make sure she was ok. My message was kind of cryptic at first. She said that I have knots inside twined like rope only not as tight. Ok not quite sure about this. Contradictions maybe? Then afterwards she mention dancing. Ha 8 years of ballet here. Yeah that's sounding right. She told me that I need to keep dancing.
She went very in depth with A. She kept talking to her about following people and to figure out what A wants to do and do it. A figured there was 5 people she followed; N; her mom; her dad; N's mom; N's Dad. So we left and talked about it well having a smoke. She said she knows that she needs to stop following parents and in-laws. She will never stop following N. Aww. No one's supposed to know this bit but since it's pretty well an anonymous blog, I'll say it here. Congrats A and N, getting married this year! Ahh that's why N took that second job. So happy :)

Multi-Tasking... Can't Live With It Can't Live Without It
Why it has been an eventful day. As mentioned the other day, A quit at work :(. In addition Stinky Guy (isn't that the bloody understatment of the year) threw a fit and walked out today. Lol no skin of any of our backs. Mainly because besides being Stinky Guy he was also Rat. And no one likes rats. So as of April 5th we are down to myself in the office, Drunk/ Manager in the office and picking, Old Guy doing returns and stock, and last but not least Crazy Little Mexican in shipping. Oh Jesus. Talk about having to multi-task.
As I write this I'm remembering that laundry has to come out in 10 minutes, to run down the hall to check the water I am boiling for pasta and get ready to go out. Argh. Have to pick A up in less than an hour.
A and I are going to see a psychic tonight. Well it is a Spiritualist Church and the set is called Messages From Beyond. It's kind of cool, the first time I went I thought it was wishy washy. However the last time I went (brought A for the 1st time) it was spot effing on. Ha as a side benefit she made A cry. Ok wasn't funny at all but looking back just a little. Update on our Messages From Beyond to Follow.

Long Weekends Continued... Seawall, Birthday and of Course More Rockband
Seawall was good. Long. Hyper-extended my left knee. It was a painful weekend. Still can't really straighten it so I do this weird looking hop/ limp thing when I walk. Ah c'est la vie. Figured that there would be lots to see. Ha the biggest was the blow out CC and Chi had in the middle of the street. J was waiting for a "bitch please". My personal fave was CC (a preschool teacher and gymnastics coach) saying to Chi, "Chi why are you angry?" In that perfect you-are-being-unreasonable-calm-your-ass-down. I don't think I've ever seen Chi so angry at that point (I thought she was going to hit her).
Next day was my birthday... oh so exciting. My bathroom is now clean, my sheets are washed and I can now see my desk and floor. Yeah. Met the players for dinner then off to the comedy club. It was funny but unfortunatly I had seen the headliner before and well the act didn't change. Apres comedy we went back to my place for (haha more comedy) drunk Rockband. Lol, my brother and gf Anna came home around 3. We were of course hammered by this point as were they. Anna decided (in her usual anti-social way to head to bed). My bro bonded with the other brothers (smoking the hookah baby) while us girls kept rocking. The cap of the night right at the end of the night (4 am) was bro and I drunkly singing Dani California. Yeah.
Now we are off too pick up Anti-social Anna to head to family dinner. Lol poor ASA. My grandma and aunts (well and most of my uncles) will tear her apart. Ah she's Russian she should know how to hold her own.

Long Weekend
Ah the long weekend is finally upon us. With this comes my birthday which can only mean a depressing post coming up, and of course randomly drunk observations from the party tomorrow night. May possibly have some interesting fashionsita posts again as apparently I have decided to put of cleaning (yet again) to go drag my ass around the seawall. Hmmm.
Yesterday one of the drivers invited A and I to an open mic night at a local coffee shop. It was pretty good. A and I decided we liked the 2nd girl so much that if we had the power we would have offered her a recording contract right then and there. The cap of the night had to be A, Chi and I sitting at our little table singing along and then being asked if we wanted to go up on stage to sing. Sure love to, believe me you don't want me to though. The words tone-deaf are ringing in my ears right now. More to come.

Fashion Observation
Ok what is with the obsession with leggings? The concept of leggings is good- what they look like is a whole other story. Unless you look like Nicole Richie chances are that you look completely ridiculous.
If only I had my camera when I went to get coffee this afternoon. A woman in front of me had on this puffy jacket that looked like it was supposed to be a cross between leather and some casual puffy style. Instead it looked like a waxy (with a bit of a sheen) plastic coating on her cafe au lait coloured coat. Now remembering that I all I could see was the back of her at this point, I noticed the chesnut coloured cable knit sweater that came down over her suede (or likely faux suede) light brown skirt. Below this she was wearing black leggings (would've been alright with a black shit not a chesnut cable sweater!) with (wait for it!) black socks. But not just socks, oh no, she had the old school scrunchy kind of socks. Oh and it gets worse, black runners. Not casual, chic sneakers like Pumas but old lady style runners.
From the back she had a cute (if you're 30) short spiking Joan Jettish hair. The unfortunate part was that it was sort of spikie not actually spiked (or styled) and that it was the red that is obviously died because it fried her hair and couldn't quite cover the jet black that Asian people are known for. When she turned around (much to my amazement) she was about 45 and polished off this amazing Fugly look with a chunky black scarf.
Oh camera where art thou for life's fashion blunders?

An Obsession With Lists... Aaah But It's An Observational List
Ok so I appear to have an obsession with lists lately. I flip flopped back and forth over what to make this list. I orginally wanted to do pet peeves but then I decided that maybe to negative. So maybe the love list. No too happy for my current life. So since so so many Metro drivers have been irritating the hell out of me lately here is my (admittedly long) list of Metro driving... bad habits. Keep in mind they are in no particular order. I really have no way off knowing which will iritate me more.
1. Turn signals. Use them. All I'm going to say
2. When you are in a parking lot, park, don't be the d-bag that must pull over in the middle of the main lane through the parking lot. To summarize it is called a parking lot for a reason. You should try it some time.
3. On that note, pay attention to what is behind you when backing out of your impossibly small parking spot in your even more ridiculously small car.
4. Don't cut into the turning lane part way through the lane. Go right from the start. This is how accidents happen.
5. When you are turning you do not need to take up the entire effing lane! (ok so this may be slightly more of an iritant that some other habits). You do not either sit in the middle of the lane or pull to the right when turning left effectively preventing anyone from passing you while you wait for an opening the size of France to come to you.
6. When you pass a large white sign that says 70 Km/H that means you must drive at least 70! 50 doesn't cut it. If you can't do 70 get out of the way.
7. The left lane is the passing lane, not the la la la I'm going to drive 50 in a 70 zone.
8. Stop the moving roadblocks. See number 7 for rules on the left lane. If two of you are driving 50 Km/H then you should be one behind the other not effing beside each other
9. The merging lane is exactly that. The reason they are long is so that you can build up your speed, NOT SLAM ON YOUR BRAKES beacuse the cars that are doing 110 on the freeway are scaring you. DON'T DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY THEN! YOU ARE GOING TO GET ME KILLED. At the same time, the merging lanes are long, drive to the end of the lane (seemingly a foreign concept in Metro) and then merge with traffic on the freeway. Life would be a lot simpler when people do this.
10. Green means go. Not stop, not sit here and think about whatever else. GO! And while we are discussing colours red means stop. Not the light isn't changing I'm going. Relax it will change (usually fairly quickly).
11. Don't cut me off/ turn in front of me and drive slow. WTF is the matter with people to do that. If you have that much of a lack of depth perception you shouldn't be driving.
12. Although I speed, I will drive the 30 Km/H in school zones. Stop tailgating me! For that matter take your life (not mine) in your hands and pass me if it pisses you off that much.
If we can all follow simple rules like this, all of our (and I will be much happier should this ever happen) insurance rates will not be as high and there will be less accidents. Seems like a pretty clear choice.
Must add Update (since they can't comment I will)
I emailed this list as well. A couple responses
Rass said effing brilliant and that she couldn't have said it better herself.
Chi added a full out rant of her own expanding on several of the options above

Luck O' The Irish.... Apparently it's Not With This Irish Girl
In honour of St Pat's day I decided to do this post in green.
Computers crashed at work today. At least I sure worked my ass off for the donut A and N picked up for me at lunch. Freaking ran for part checks. Please don't call tomorrow people. We are short staffed and still without a modem. Have some mercy on us please.
Chi sells insurance for a living. Naturally she is my first call should I need any info. Apparently (still at a 30% discount this year) I am now at a 75% surcharge. That's right 75% on top of the $2000 I already pay per year. WTF and HTF did this happen. Apparently a previous claim under my parents plate almost 7 years ago (I was driving) has now come back to haunt me. Our insurance provider (we have the joy of living in a province where it is a government "non-profit" corporation) supposedly has a loop where after 4 years of continuous coverage you drop back down to your discount. Just over 4 years ago I was involved in an accident (which I maintain was not my fault). Unfortunatly after all legal ways of disputing this it was still deemed my fault. That's fine... I paid my insurance even when I didn't have a car, I paid my surcharges every year. Now they're telling me that it is still effecting me. I don't believe that I will be driving this summer.
I do appologize for the rant, observations will continue later on.

My Every Continuing Observations of Crazies!! My Friends Included
First off, Happy St Patricks Day to all... Slainte.
Seeing how it is the weekend before St Pats, A and I decided to get everyone together and head to a semi-local Irish pub. A and I (N had to work) headed out areound 5:50ish since neither of us wanted to eat standing up. I had told everyone to meet us there at 6:30. By 6:40 A and I are well through our first pint and our appy is just arriving (we decided screw those who can't be on time). CC and M show up at this point. A and I are still at our little table for 2 since no one else has left yet. Our waitress comes by to tell us that the customers in the other room are leaving shortly and to go talk to them for the table. Unfortuanatly (and several harsh words and close to a brawl with some fat ugly biotches) we didn't get the table. Sigh we got stuck at a little table directly under the tv and at the top of the stairs with not enough chairs for all. AS ended up sitting with CC, SF and EZ were on stools nearly a foot above the table. By 9:30 AS was bitching that he was hot and where's the bill, where are we going blah blah blah. Normally I get along fine with AS but this diva (he's a pretty pretty boy too... takes longer than I do to get ready) was driving me nuts. A and I had figured we'd party at the pub till around 1 and then head home. Btw AS if you are that hot take off your damn coat and sit on your own freaking chair! Anways night ended at my place with AS, EZ, CC and I playing Rock Band. Best part was after they left when my bro's friends came back and the boys and I created a killer band.

And the Sickness Continues... the Lost Art of Common Sense
If I ever discover who I got this cold from I will kill them. Seriously, well once I have the energy to kill them that is. I have been consistenly dying since Sunday. Monday morning I went to work for 4 hours. Co-workers and customers alike told me that I looked like and sounded like a zombie. How delightful!
The last straw that made me go home was the call from one of my customers who I consistently flirt with said "You sound pathetic when you're sick! Go home!" That was it, I left without a backwards glance.
The last couple of days have been slightly better (again with the crazies and stupidness though). For example I went to Starbucks for coffee on my lunch break. Not wanting to be a total db to the environment I bring my handy little Starbucks travel mug. Naturally the girl working askes me if I want room for cream. My answer, "no but please leave enough room so that I don't spill it.". OK I will now digress into a little lesson in common sense. What happens when you have a form of liquid in an enclosed space and then you put something solid in it? The liquid rises to accomodate whatever you put in it. Great now that we all know that, I can point out that the Starbucks girl apparently doesn't know this as she filled it nearly to the top so when I put the lid on it freaking overflowed everywhere! Common sense is a lost art.

The World as I Know It... Or Well the Weekend of Sickness, Rockband and Improv
Friday Morning
Woke up this morning feeling as though I swallowed a fist full (ok several) of glass. Minimal voice action. Fabulous, I answer phones for a living. That's ok though. Get to work to hear the why did you come in blah blah blah spiel. Then a customer bought me a bottle of Benilyn cuz he didn't want to listen to me hack everytime he called or came in. Aww very sweet. A just rolled her eyes and told me not to come in tomorrow.
After work Duts and I headed for our halfway between bdays mani and pedi. Very nice indeed. Although I have to admit that it really creeped me out that they used the same spongy toe divider things that they had used on the woman next to me when I had come it. Eeew! Thank God I paid the extra to have a french so they didn't both with the divider things.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Saturday
Go to work in the morning anyways. Again get the why are you here you're sick spiel. After I work I went home and guzzled a full pot of coffee and proceeded to read the entire new JD Robb book in one afternoon. Fabulous book. A perfectly mushy moment for romantics too. During the course of this afternoon my brother and his friends come home with Rockband and a PS3. So fabulous. Musical talent apparently doesn't run in our family. As I was listening to my brother belt out Bon Jovi's Wanted Dead or Alive I realized that he is worse than I am and I'm freaking tone deaf. Yes yes a very interesting afternoon indeed.
Later in the evening CC and I decided to go to an improv show. We chose Improv Extreme that is supposedly uncensored. So CC, AS, and Chi show up at my house (and of course have a laugh at the Rockband gong show that can be heard loud and clear to anyone in the vicinity of my house). We all pile in to my car (let me tell you 5 people in a Mazda 3 very squishy), grab EZ and head down to the theatre. Upon our arrival (around 45min before show time) I call S to see if her and J are actually coming and where they are. S tells me they are but they have to drop off J's friend (in a suburb about 1 hour away). Ah sorry S not going to make it, maybe next time. The Improv show actually not extreme at all... the only difference between Extreme and the early show is that in addition to S*** and A**, they can now say F*** and B****. BFD! The highlight of the show was someone in the audience yelling out "Do a scene about mullets!". So the actors did an unflattering take on mullets. Best part... about 10 seats down from AS was a guy with a mullet.... clearly unimpressed. Effing hilarious!

S tells me they are but they have to drop off J's friend (in a suburb about 1 hour away). Ah sorry S not going to make it, maybe next time. The Improv show actually not extreme at all... the only difference between Extreme and the early show is that in addition to S*** and A**, they can now say F*** and B****. BFD! The highlight of the show was someone in the audience yelling out "Do a scene about mullets!". So the actors did an unflattering take on mullets. Best part... about 10 seats down from AS was a guy with a mullet.... clearly unimpressed. Effing hilarious!

Rather Mundane Monday
Yes yes today was the mundane Monday. However M didn't show up to work so at least there was stuff to do. And by this I mean an extra line to answer. Even then really not overly busy. Some entertaining little tidbits though
A's brother in law (J) has been uh I guess dating is the word (really just having sex on the pretense of dating) this nasty girl in his building. The other night as he was leaving A's apartment she let him know flat out what she thought. Including (and this I quote) a line of "If you even think about making that dirty, ugly slut my sister in law I will strangle you with my bare hands!" And cynical opinionated A is back ladies and gentlemen! Oh how we have missed your bluntness!

Update on Plans
Brilliant success.... no more debates over which plan to chose (regardless of the fact that I was well on my way into plan c). Chi has texted me saying she will pick me up at 4:30 and go for a walk at the Lake. Yay! In the meantime I shall finish up this episode of Greys and then slide into a guility pleasure known as America's Best Dance Crew (I know I know)

OK So Pretty Sure I'm the Crazy One Today
Plan a was to have a full out vegging day well into the night. All sisters, lots of chick flicks and food. So when CC told me she had to watch the dogs (yeah I know), I moved on the plan b... a hike, some lunch and maybe some shopping with Chi. When Chi at 1:30 sounded just as hungover and not awake as when I spoke to her at noon I had no choice but to move on to plan c. Plan c is how I spent most of yesterday as well. Blogs, Greys and an attempt to find food. Seriously I have lived on coffee and Lindt chocolate for the past 2 days (ok I will admit to the odd bit of leftover Antons pasta). Now the big debate, do I walk to Safeway and get more coffee and some food, do I call someone and go out to eat or do I just forge my way through the 2nd season of Greys (ah McDreamy... him and Addy in the elevator I know its old).
Still on the sore teeth and gums. First dentist appointment on Friday to get veneers. Urgh... 2 hours of drilling and scraping and needles. For what? The temps look like there is food stuck in my teeth (seriously if one more person tells me they look better I will punch them), the hurt like a mother (eating a drinking is damn near impossible). I now have to wait 2 weeks for the real ones to come in from the lab (thanks to the dental conference next week so my dentist will not be in the office). Wtf??

Long Time Gone... and Congrats to Nadine
Ok so a very long time gone from the blog. As I have parused the links I realized that many of my blogging companions have given up on their blogs also. While checking Jolie's blog I saw that her book was published! Congratulations Nadine! Beauty Confidential is available here.
In other Random news, new job= many new crazy people to write about! Yay! We have also moved, added to the family and desperatly need/want a new computer! In the midst of all of this I am attempting to drink a pot of cofffee (yes everyone that love has not gone away), trying not to think about the cigarette I still desperatly want, and trying to convince a very hungover C to go for hike (btw hiking is a great way to see random random crazy people). More to come shortly (and also an updated link list since most have discontinued their blogs)
