Howdy guys,
It's been a while hasn't it? Truth is, the past few weeks or however long it's been I've been finding things to do that did not constitute the use of computers. But I feel the need to just relax and write something.
I didn't go to the Big Band Dance, don't much know why. Just didn't feel like I'd have that much fun so I went for dinner with Sam, Megs, and Michelle instead. It was fun as most people seemed to think we were over 18. An asset indeed, except Michelle had to drive home. But we cruised around a bit, waved at married men and geeky boys, almost rearended a car and eventually drove home. I also bought a white cowboy hat. Which means, if this were a movie, I'd be the good guy (gal). I bought Greendale and me and Carly were trying not to squeal too loudly while listening to it in history as even in his old age, Neil is still a fox with his guitar riffs.
Work is a bitch, but I got my massive spring break paycheck so I can't complain. I'm beginning to hate pre-teen girls even more after dealing with them on a daily basis. |

| | The Guess Who- "Bus Rider" | ] |
Know what's great? A song both the Guess Who AND the Hollies did. That's so great. Like Bus Rider. I'm beginning to love the Guess Who so madly now which is weird because I'm only starting to TRULY love them NOW but I've lived in Winnipeg since forever. I walk by one of Burton Cummings' houses everytime I walk to the park which is like a few times a week. And I can't deny that I go to the Sals a bunch. It's weird really. The amazingness never hit me until now. Burton may be a dickwad, but he's my vocal hero.
Could this be the next band of my love and obsessiveness? Probably not considering Neil is the love of my life and I would never leave him for Randy Bachman or Burton that fucking asshole. He really is an asshole. I like how I talk like I know these people because I really don't. It's really sad. Anyways, I love them. The end.
Today I went home from school in the afternoon and I played guitar for hours and was very happy until I remembered I was supposed to be being "sick", so I did that for a while. I actually was really pukey though. Honestly I just wanted to play guitar. I am going to fail school and probably become a heroin addict, goddamn.
Tomorrow is Carly's birthday and I bought her a present. It was a little thingy released by the band of a guy whose name starts with Dave and ends with Matthews, but she isn't supposed to know. It's a surprise and she's wanted this certain released thing for a while, so SHHHH all of you.
Goodnight. Ps. Meghann is hot. I'm sorry people in chemistry make her angry. I was also sorry to hear Katie's fish exploded. |

I had no attention span today, like zero. After school I bought some new strings good ones this time, and man do they sound beautiful. I love new strings. There are probably very few things I love more. So then I walked to Sam's house and watched some of the fitting of Carly's hot red salsa dress for the big band dance, before going to the mall where I bought some Joni Mitchell. I'm growing to love her more every single day. It was so warm outside today, but windy. Too windy. Tomorrow I'm going for a looooong walk in Wolseley. |

I went to school today, because it's a thursday, and it was so fucking hot out walking home. Unfortunately, Sam's locked out of her house, but that's okay because she has to do her flyers anyways, so she's hoping when she gets home someone will be able to open it for her. Today was a pretty average, boring day, other than the French test I did shitty on. See, I didn't really study for that one. Bad move. Right now I'm eating fat-free ice cream, but it tastes exactly like real ice cream so I think I've been lied to.
Today in history I helped Meghann eat an apple, basically by shoving it in her face. She almost choked. Then Derek took a picture. Hull was talking about this massacre thing, Bull Run, and the other name for it was Manassas ( I'm in American history) and I yelled out " Oh my god! That's a group Stephen Stills was in!" because I'm a loser. That's like the only thing interesting I said today, the day was boring, and I was boring with it. So that's pretty much the most exciting thing that happened today. Except when the mean fat lady who's always on the bus got the back door shut in her face and she couldn't get out. I was laughing. I'm a terrible person. |

I saw Carly and Christine today again after their AMAZING time in Cuba. Makes me wish I was in band, really. What the hell's wrong with me? I should be in band. Anyways, it was so good to see them again. It's so gorgeous outside, I want to go to the park or something, but instead I'm going for a walk tonight, the grass in the park is far too wet to sit on and tromp through.
My huge piece on the Junos is in the paper next week, however I can't believe they're printing it because articles usually have to be less than half a page, but this one's like 1200 words, so I don't know how much space that's taking up. A full page for sure, especially if they include a picture. Apparently Megan can get us discount Folkfest tickets which is frickin' awesome. I can't wait for it this year! Emmylou Harris is playing! I've wanted to go for the past two years but something's always happened where I couldn't go. So I missed Taj Mahal last year and Buddy Guy the year before.....which sucks madly. It better be damn hot this summer. |

So talk about a dead Saturday night. Last night of break and there is absoloutely no one to do anything with, not that I'm in much of a people mood anyways. This break has officially been pretty crap. I suppose I should still be somewhat excited for tomorrow night, even in lieu of recent events, and I still sort of am. Atleast I'll get to see Randy Bachman. He's super. |

I had a dream last night that I talked to Carly. Since she is in Cuba, this will explain why I can't talk to her in person. Anyways I really miss her and Christine. And I woke up this morning in some random contorted position. And it hurt hahahaha. On the music news front, turns out Neil is taking a raincheck, atleast he says. And I'm likely now going to Greenday, if I can get Alixe the money, which I'll be able to do Wednesday when I get paid. So there are good things in the world. |

I've had the shittiest 24 hours ever. Not many bad things have happened, but a few little things and one significant one. So it all adds up really.
- I wrecked my new shoes.
- I dropped my new Bowie record and it smashed before I even got a chance to listen to the B-side. First edition. Fuck.
- Some lady got mad at me because I was too slow doing an exchange for her at work. But it was my first exchange ever. What a whore.
- Big Headache.
- Neil almost died. So he's not coming to the Junos Sunday therefore I have nothing to look forward to therefore my dream of seeing my hero play before he dies is pretty well dead. So I cried in the bathroom. Atleast Neil's going to be okay.
I need to stop feeling sorry for myself and to go read a book or something. |

Today I went with Andrea and Keera and her mom to Corydon and such. I got a peridot ring and it's very pretty as it's green. Green is my favourite colour.
There were hot boys working in Bread and Circuses and Andrea's mom told us about how she went to this psychic and learned about her past lives probably the coolest thing ever, something I'd love to do, although I might be a little scared to know. Anyways, she's a pretty damn cool lady. We went to Ragpickers and looked and some stuff, some sweet jackets and such. It was a fun day.
Then me and Debbie tried to go to Into The Music, but it was about to close so we opted out and went for a driving lesson instead, and I managed to do alright. Driving test here I come. Not quite.
I also read more of my new book "Tuesdays with Morrie" which is actually borrowed by Debbie from Paula's mom but Debbie isn't reading it so screw her. Anyways, it's amazing, very fulfilling. It's about this old wise guy who's dying and he teaches a younger guy every life lesson there is to know before he dies.
And that was my day so far. I still haven't taken my coat off.
P.S. Three days til Neil. |

Work again today,busy as hell until around 5 when it became completely dead. There was some girl who's been working there since October and still can't do till, so I did till while she steamed shirts because she is pathetically incompetent. I'd never worked with her. She was nice, but dumb. And way too tanned.
The highlight of my day was some guy who when I rang up his daughter's underwear refused to carry the pink La Senza Girl bag because he thought people would think he was some sort of pervert or something. He said this and I laughed. Also, Gwen and Meghann came to visit me and I want to call them and hang out with them right now but it's too late for Debbie to drive me anywhere, plus Bobby needs the car for work (Bobby works nights).
I also helped a girl in a wheelchair try on a jacket because she had muscular dystrophy I think and the person with her was also in a wheelchair, and she was all smiley and happy so I liked her. But then the jacket didn't fit and she was sad and it made me sad because she really liked it. I also helped a little Hutterite girl find bras. And then I got to use the tag gun which is the coolest thing ever, because we were doing markdowns and I had to stock the shorts section. These were the exciting points of my working day.
Before work I got a pedicure at the mineral spa place which was fun because I got to sit in a massage chair thingy and they exfoliated my legs. I regretted not shaving this morning, but the esthetician said that with the exfoliation thing I will now get a really close shave. Which is excellent, just excellent. So they painted my toenails red and put little rhinestones on the big ones and my feet don't look like dinosaur feet anymore.
Tonight I plan on reading and listening to my newish Ani DiFranco CD, and I'm writing a review on it for next Tuesday. Oh by the way, my vinyl article was in the Winnipeg Sun today if any of you guys want to read it. I guess it's not that exciting. But it's almost the full page, with pictures this time lol. I'm also going to be covering some Juno stuff, but I have no idea when that'll get printed. Anyways, SO excited for Sunday night!!!!
I am experiencing growing pains in my legs like I had when I was little, so here's hoping I will grow that extra inch to reach my goal height of 5'10". It's possible I'm crossing my fingers, but then again maybe my work shoes just suck and hurt my legs. Whatever, I'm going with Andrea to Corydon tomorrow, that will make everything alright. |

Today I went back to work. And it was alright, although I'll admit I was counting down the hours 'til I could leave.
Then I finally went for a driving lesson with Debbie out in St. Norbert, and I actually retained all previously-learned driving skills. I was impressed.
I then went and worked some on my novel prep-work at Academy, because I'm a nerd and am turning all of my previously-concieved little story lines into a novel. I figure if someone publishes it I'll make some money for college. I suppose that also looks good to colleges if you've managed to get your novel published. Anyways, I've got a story and it's just something I've got to do.
So I did some character sketching, drank some dark-roast. Until Gwen and Meghann showed up. We sat around for a while and then drove to my place because we got bored, and had a deep discussion about school and people and sex and our lives. I love talking nights.
Oh yeah, and me and Debbie got in a big argument this morning. Apparently I'm bitchy, however she was getting mad at me for no particular reason. Anyways, I don't care anymore, she apparently got over it while I was at work.
I always wonder if she looks at my stuff when I'm not around. My magazines, my journal, my songs,my sketches, my stories/poems/novel stuff. If so, that's creepy and only a little bit embarassing. I can see Debbie wondering and doing it though, or atleast being tempted. If she does, she obviously feels too guilty to bring any of it up in conversation or to use my personal writing as blackmail. I suppose I should regard this as a good thing. |

So far today has been the most boring day ever, even though it's a stupid holiday, I thought holidays were supposed to be exciting. We went to some brunch thing but I wasn't hungry so I didn't really eat anything. Then I came home and took off my skirt and fell asleep. And tried to figure out a few things such as 'what do I have to look forward to?' and 'what's the point of all this?'. I never actually figured anything out though. I watched some TV and sort of came out of my fog to come downstairs. It's been a weird, pointless day. |

1963
If you scored...
1950 - 1959: You're fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in!
1960 - 1969: You are a free spirit with a huge heart. Love, peace, and happiness rule - oh, and drugs too.
1970 - 1979: Bold and brash, you take life by the horns. Whether you're partying or protesting, you give it your all!
1980 - 1989: Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You're colorful at night - and successful during the day.
1990 - 1999: With you anything goes! You're grunge one day, ghetto fabulous the next. It's all good!

Well, the cold is still getting the best of me. Today I went with Debbie to get some shoes, Converse All Stars, but not high tops because everyone has high tops. I also got a hendrix hoodie from Wild Planet because I needed a hoodie. My headache was killing me so Debbie got me some Tylenol from 7-eleven but it was a shitty dizzy headache so it didn't help all that much. Guitar went well, I attempted some finger picking exercises, but you know I still suck. it's because I dont' practice nearly enough. Then Carly, Christine, and Gwen came over to watch Jesus Christ Superstar. Judas has like the hottest voice ever. I'll miss those guys when they go to CUba, only one more day. Tear. |

Well, I was kidnapped. And it was a damn good time. It felt so nostalgic for some reason, driving in Christine's little red car, down by the river (how many references do I put in without ever really realizing it), and out to Lockport. To our surprise, even though it was Good Friday, the Half-Moon was open so we got burgers and shakes and stuff, afterward we all felt like puking but it was so good nonetheless. The drive back was so pretty, it all felt so classic, and warm and good. I missed hanging out with Gwen, we don't see that much of eachother now. But we're both stuck here in Winnipeg all spring break, so hopefully one of us will call the other.
Paula and I went to the Cannes Lions thing. So many hot guys, all with girlfriends however. My kind of hot guys, anyways.
I'm feeling tired and pretty happy. Today was a good day. I can really feel spring is coming, you have no idea how great that feels. |
