CS

I have a couch surfer from Switzerland coming tomorrow. I offered to pick her up at the bus station at 7:35 am tomorrow. I don't even know where to go once I am at the airport.

I don't know what exactly I'm going to do with her once she is here.

Any suggestions? Yeah...other than the Forks.

On a side note, does anyone have any magical home remedies for strengthening finger nails?

and plus...

I usually only see him once during the week anyways for a nice little tv date at my good friend ccap's.

Yeah...no...

I give up.

That is way too much work.

I heard somewhere it takes 6 weeks to make or break a habit. Well I've been working on this habit for just over 4 years.

I was just trying to prove a point to Tom, and then I realized in doing so I was kind of being mean to him. I do not understand you people of 1972. Why on earth would I want to limit my time with my best friend to twice a week? Especially when my other best friends are in Europe?!

The conclusion:

1972 just isn't for me.

Well except maybe this part of it...

My start at an (almost) new era

My boyfriend wants to date as if we are in 1972. The "right" way of dating. So, we are supposed to live across the road from each other, and only see each other twice a week. Once at church and once on a group outing with our friends. This goes on until we are married I guess?

So for the next little* while I am (we are) not participating in any "new" technology communication. No texting (dang, thats our main form of communication. No emailing, no facebooking. And, we can only call each other to and from landlines**. Since, he lives in the middle of nowhere, with no land line this may pose a small problem. Guess he'll have to drive to the nearest convenience store to give me a call. Too bad gas isn't 70 cents a gallon. Oh yes, way back then we were still an imperial country!

Here goes!

*This really is not going to last long

**I'm not sure on what level Tom is aware of said experiment, but since I can't get a hold of him it's hard to let him know.

Not so nice

I have not been so nice today. But hey, I've only lost my keys and frantically driven to work....I'll try for nice after work when I get to spend time with my *second* favourite family and have a little hot tub time. :)

Facebook

Here is a little sample of what I saw on Facebook tonight. Ugh, makes me a little sick.

Ring Leader Boys are stupid.. Throw rocks at them.

• 2 people like this.
• • Boy 1 Throw them hard, you get bonus points
  • Girl 1 hahahaha
  • Girl 2 Literally.
  • Boy 1 Seriouslly, they won't forget =p
  • Girl 3 haha! They ARE kinda dumb, aren't they? It's part of their charm.
  • Ring Leader Well if that's supposed to be charm ill never find anyone!
  • Girl 3 You could always just marry for money. Just do it while you're pretty.
  • Ring Leader Lol good idea. I think its the only way.
  • Girl 3 hang out at the airport. The pilots make good money and are never home. Same with ER docs. just sayin.
  • Girl 2 I wouldn't care if my husband slept around if I didn't have to work.
  • Boy 2 or recline your seat into their knees
  • Ring Leader Hahah! Well this advice may help me.. Or get me into big trouble!
  • Girl 4 so true!!!

*Let me just say, I quite like my boy. A lot. And most of the other boys in my life. And I would never throw rocks at any one of them...so maybe the issue is more you, Ring Leader...*

Okay, so I know lot's of crap goes on Facebook like this, and most of it doesn't bother me. I just brush it off as stupid people. But this one really gets to me for some reason. Especially when girl 2 says:

"I wouldn't care if my husband slept around if I didn't have to work."

What is the heck is wrong with...well, EVERYTHING in the world! to posses someone to even pretend to say that?!

Now I'm not going to say* I hope she gets married and in 5 years the love of her life, her knight in shining armour, her husband who is supposed to unconditionally love and protect her sleeps around on her. OR! What if someone who is going though some not so good time in their marriage right now sees this? I am just a little shocked at how inconsiderate people are becoming these days.

*Even though I almost want to, I would never wish that upon anyone**.

**Even if they are an inconsiderate fool who says such things.

What the what?

Since when are half the leaves off my tree?

Any ideas of a career for me?..

So far...

Not so bad.

I've been a little (lot) standoffish to a new creepy guy at work. (Hint hint...not interested..)

I've been a little rude to my mother.

I've been a little mean to my Kimber.

I've been a little juvenile to my Thomas.

But hey, I'm trying! And regardless of this list I've been a whole lotta nice too! Especially you old stupid ladies who come through my checkout line! Appreciate it!

My Goal

I think for the next 30 days or so...4 weeks?- Until Wednesday October 13th 2010* I am going to strive to:

1. Be more patient with stupid people, stupid situations and stupid things.

2. Try not to think of everything as stupid.

3. Try not to have minor fits over minor predicaments.

4. Be nicer to people (especially those who I see a lot. Get the fric out of here strangers, I don't care about you.)

5. Be more calm, and more accepting of myself, my crap life where I have no drive to do anything, and of other people and their opinions and suggestions and whatnot.

Okay, that is plenty a list for me. Here goes. Day one tomorrow and starting off with a sore throat, but only a 4 hour work day! I'll try and keep you posted.

*Note: the point of this is not to turn completely right back into a jerk after the 4 weeks, but hopefully see how much better life is on the other side. Also, don't expect this task to exempt my sarcasm, and general not caring about most things. Just toning them down a little for the general public. In my head I will be just as narcissistic and sardonic as ever. At least for a while. Maybe with the help of others I'll be able to beat it out of myself.

ugh

Those three letters pretty much sum up how I'm feeling lately. I can't even spur up enough energy to make a real word out of three letters. Just an ugly sound. My brain just doesn't even want to work lately. I actually have a thesaurus page open right now. And you know when you spell words wrong a little red line appears under it implying; "you loser, you can't even spell that?! Ha." I don't even bother trying to fix it on my own lately. I just right click on it and make the computer think for me.

Hence the lack in blogging.

On a side note I am now a solitary basement dweller again and thus and have changed my status on couchsurfing -couch available from no to Yes, with a capital Y. I have a hairdresser and two of her friends coming to stay with me tomorrow. She is going to give my Mom a free haircut. :) I'm not sure where the friends are from, but she is from Chelmsford, Essex in England. They are on a road trip from somewhere to Calgary. All in all I wish I could be doing that right now and not working at a grocery store...
