Bitchfest Extrodinaire

Oh where oh where to begin?
Work, okay, so I got laid off yesterday. Sucks, because even though it was a crappy job I liked it. Basically I can thank the greedy NHL Players Association for this one. With the looming NHL strike our business has suffered, teams aren't ordering jersey stuff from us. Summer is apparently the "slow season" for the garment world (which seems kind of strange to me, but whatever) and that was why another girl in the office and I were cut down to 4 days a week at the beginning of July, and now with a dim glimmer of hope that the hockey season is going to happen that means I'm outta there. Whoo-hoo

And then there's the roomate horror that just doesn't seem to be going away. Granted, my note beside the eyebrows all over the wall worked in getting her to get rid of them appropriately, this morning when I got up there was a note on her door to me that besically said that if I have something to say to her that I should say it and not leave notes because talking to her would be nicer. An obvoius indication that she hasn't seen me when I'm pissed off (Paul can attest to the fury that can be unleashed). Yesterday before I went out I also left a note on her door asking her to do her dishes because I had seen a bug in the kitchen.
So she's growing a science experiment in the kitchen and leaving plucked hairs all over the wall, and I'm the one who isn't being nice? Could someone please explain to me how that works. The fact of the matter is that I went out meaning that I wasn't here to tell her to clean up after herself. Now as three women in their twenties I think that we should be capable of understanding the concept that if you make pasta with cream sauce you should clean the dishes soon there after. Mainly for two key reasons:
1) (the obvious pro as far as I'm concerend) Food, especially sauces, dries, so cleaning sooner than later makes the job easier!
2) It is disgusting from a smell point of view and from a bug point of view (especially in the summer, when it's hot) to leave dishes out for a long time.

So did my dishes note resonate? Well it's 11:30 on Wednesday night and when I came in they were still there, so apparently not!

But let's remember, I'm the mean one who won't put her life on hold to sit at home and wait for her to show up so that I can tell her. When it comes to her NOTHING should ever come first. Methinks that someone doth give themself too much credit. After all she's the one who always goes on and on about how she "has no friends." Gee. I wonder why?

DISGUSTING!!!

Okay, I understand that some people are harier than others and I'm fine with that except for when someone plucks their eyebrows in the bathroom and instead of throwing away the hair they stick it all over the fucking wall!!!!!! It's FUCKING SICK!!!!!!!!

Great way to get my morning off to a good start!

RUSTY ROCKS!

Yesterday at 4:00 I was at work and my cell phone rang, it was Rusty and he seemed excited and told me that I HAD to go over to their place that night, so I got home from work and watched Coronation Street and then headed over. Then Rusty and I waited for Paul to get home and for Rusty's sister to get there.
Once everyone was there Rusty brought out two gift bags. For the record Paul's birthday is in 2 weeks and mine was, as you know, 2 weeks ago, Rusty had said that he was going to get me something once he had gone shopping. Apparently that was yesterday.
I open my card and I read it and (I don't have it here now -I'm at work- so this won't be a 100% accurate quote) it said [start] I hope you like your gift [B button] this seemed wierd and reminded me of a video game. And then I looked in the bag, HE BOUGHT ME A GAMECUBE!!!! It's so cool and he got me the Sims game to play, as some of you know I have had a recent addiction to that game!
So I'm super excited and I can't wait to play!

THANK YOU RUSTY - YOU RULE!!!!!!!!!

Did ya Miss me?

I haven't blogged in so long! And there are so many new things to tell you about-well not a ton but some!

I went to Hamilton for the weekend of my birthday, which was fun, it was good to see Lindsay. I took the Go bus there on Thursday night, and got in just after 7:00. I met up with Lindsay right away and we went and had some dinner. Then we popped into the liquor store and headed back to her place, which is actually Josh's place, but she's living with him and his dad for now. So we went back to Josh's house and had a drink hung out with Bob and Josh's dad for a bit, Josh was at work ('cause he works nights) then we took Josh's huge dog for a walk in the park, then hung out in the upstairs living room at Josh's, to avoid his dad. Josh's dad is kinda scary.

While I was in Hamilton we were watching '"the buzz" on the comedy channel and we saw some familiar faces. A couple of years ago Mitch and Karin told us a story about how they got caught up in a "Fat Pride" parade. So at the end of the episode there's Karin trying to run away from the camera and then there's Mitch smiling and waving! It was HILARIOUS!

This past weekend was an interesting one for me, it started at 4:30 on Saturday when I got up and got ready for the long drive to New Jersey with my Uncle Michael and cousin Isabeau. They picked me up at 5:30 and then we made the drive in the pouring rain for 10 hours.

The party was good, the biggest excitement was the terrorist threats, they didn't cause pandemonium or anything there were just lines at the border coming into the states and we saw some state troopers stopping traffic on the highway and searching every car that was going into New Jersey - made me glad that I was on my way out of the country!!

The drive back wasn't so bad on Monday, I just ended up taking a different route. My mom my Aunt Helen and I drove 6 hours to Montreal, where we dropped my aunt off and stayed at her apartment for a bit to let the rush hour traffic pass. Then my mom and I drove to Cornwall where I stayed the night and then took the bus back here yesterday.

Of course I got home to the disgusting site of moldy dishes. I swear to god that I am sooner than later going to go completely ape shit on Lexie, it's fucking sick, the dishes had been there for a week BEFORE I left for 4 days!!!! So I got home settled in for a bit left a note on her door to wash them and left the apartment for the evening. If I had even seen her before they had been cleaned I know that I would have flipped right the fuck out! I left the house around 5 and stayed out till about 10:00 I went to second cup and had a chillatte and hoped that the dishes would be clean when I got home and they were so I didn't have to kill her!

On a brighter note I talked to Karin last night and she's coming to crash at our place on Thursday night, cause she's got to go home for a wedding on Friday morning.
