Why am I stringing together, in my head, all my thoughts and things I wish I could say into an ani difranco song-esque fashion?

Saturday, August 21, 2004 10:50 p.m.


Man today was a lot of fun.
One of those days when everything just came together.
It was the best Saturday I've ever worked... ever. :p
It makes me actually wish I was working all next week & not having Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday off. Sick, but true. It's all for a good cause though I suppose.
Anyway... think I'll get on my jammies and snuggle up in my bed with Kylie or Molly and finish (possibly... depending on how long I can manage to keep my eyes open for) my book... I love a good book. Nothin' like it. I'm really getting back into the reading habit again. I may never leave my house. I'll just have to get the library to deliver me books or order books online and have them shipped. :p
But then I'd miss Spenny... and being hit on almost daily by the CANPAR guy... and I'd have to leave and go back to work. ;)
Sometimes I like to go on nonsensical rants.
Ever notice that?
Anyway... mucho excited parce que Dulcie is home in 3 days.
And... don't know if you can/are/would waste your time reading this in England Dulcie (especially when you could be doing cool things like going to the gigantic Doc Marten store), but if you are I thought of an idea for our road trip... ie mini road trip... we could go to the Princess Cinema? We still haven't...
Man... I want to see the Corporation... but it ends tomorrow... and I can't go see it tomorrow 'cause we're doing a bunch of stuff to celebrate my parents' anniversary.
But there are a couple other movies that look cool.
ANYWAY... totally went off track there....
Right. P.J.s.... puppy... pillow... book.
Night.

"Oh. No, you're right. Total agony."

Saturday, August 21, 2004 09:44 p.m.


Man... why couldn't I have stayed in that dream a little longer? Damn waking up.

Tuesday, August 17, 2004 07:07 a.m.


Today has been a good day.
I feel like I've lived more today than I have in the last month put together.
I did a lot today. Made up for a couple days of lazing around a bit. :p But it was my time off. Spent some good quality time with my Pops this afternoon. :p Watched a chick hatch out of it's egg.
Mom & Dad went off to the cottage tonight for the week. I really hope, for their sake, they don't end up having to come home early. We'll find out tomorrow I guess... Everything will be fine.
Had my one night to myself tonight before my brother starts staying over to do the chores. He starts his new job tomorrow at 6am, which is great. I'm happy for him. Hopefully he'll be able to settle in nicely.
So I spent my night watching Love Actually. (Definitely one of my favourites - if not the one... on the topic of favourites and all. :p)
I love the intro... anyway... Looking forward to picking up my pictures tomorrow. I don't even remember everything that's on them... except for the ones from the night Jackie, Jen & I went to the Devil's Martini... and the night before Dulcie left for England (most of them are from then :p).... but I know there was something in between... I guess we'll find out...
Should get to bed. Have to get up early to turn the eggs over in the incubator & carry the new little chicks out into the barn before I get ready for work. I've really been getting in touch with my inner farm-girl this weekend apparently. :p Night.

Sunday, August 15, 2004 11:43 p.m.


For as long as I remember I have never been able to pick favourites of anything. No favourite food, favourite song, favourite movie... 'cause there are so many good ones. (And I'm also incredibly indecisive.) But I now actually have chosen a favourite book. Tuesdays with Morrie. If you have not read it, you should. Because it's wonderful. That is my advice to you.

Sunday, August 15, 2004 11:26 a.m.


Word of the day: Hypocrite.

Saturday, August 14, 2004 01:56 p.m.


So... Day 2 of Days off.
Went to Stratford... to the library... :p
Then to Kitchener (ie Fairview & Fitness Depot)... then through Guelph to Fergus. (again) (I was there yesterday too.) (Saw a different aunt tonight.) Je suis tres exhausted.
Nice to spend time with my Mom though.
Will possibly go to bed now. Not sure.
Farewell.

Thursday, August 12, 2004 10:16 p.m.


Oh my God I had so much fun at classics tonight. It was hilarious. Dulcie rocks my socks. :p (hehehe)

Monday, August 9, 2004 03:11 a.m.


So... no more Friday (ie tomorrow) off. Which is okay... 'cause it's Dulcie's last day... and I don't really want to miss that. Plus, I get Wed-Sun off next week. So not so bad.
Need to catch up with my magic training anyway.
P.S.-Note to Mother Nature... one should not have to wear two sweaters to a pool party in August. It just doesn't seem right. But still a fun evening.
Anyway... should get myself to bed I guess... incase my darling brother decides to wake me up again tomorrow morning an hour and fifteen minutes before I'm supposed to get up by shooting finger blasters at me. Not cool... and doesn't help with the whole... haven't been getting a decent night's sleep for the past couple weeks and need every second I can get thing.
Anyway... will probably bundle myself up and get into bed now. Goodnight.

Thursday, August 5, 2004 11:04 p.m.


Good night... (rough day at work... but good night). Walked to Dulcie's after work. Good times, her, Elly & I with a lil' Scattegories (much fun... must get that game) and Family Guy.
And nice kitchen-convo with Julie later too. I'm gonna miss 'em. *tear* And Dulcie, my love, only has 3 more shifts left!! :(
But who has allll Friday off??? It's me. That is exciting. I am looking forward to that a whole bunch. Anyways... should probably get myself to bed so I don't almost sleep through band again after I get home from work tomorrow like I did last week...
Ciao.

Tuesday, August 3, 2004 11:24 p.m.


Allo allo.
Today was a good day... work was good... got a fair amount done, and had some good laughs with Michele. Went on break with Dulcie... also tres bon.
Last night went to see Macbeth (or "the scottish play" to those of you who believe saying the "M" word will get ya cursed) :p ... with James... the play was aight... not spectacular... but decent. But still a good night. It was so nice out last night. Too bad it wasn't nice like that right now... 'cause now I'm going to have to leave and go to band to play in the park in the rain. Woo. Ahh well.

Wednesday, July 14, 2004 05:59 p.m.


Man. I wish I could start yesterday all over again.

Friday, July 9, 2004 03:12 p.m.


Oh man. Saddest movie ever. But really really good.
My eyes are so red from crying. Jaclynn and I bawled.
Also... now want to see 'cellular' when it comes out (one of the previews)... looks pretty good.
Anyway... I'm sleepy... bedtime... Molly's tomorrow night... well... tonight actually now.
Work at 9:30... must get sleep.

Wednesday, July 7, 2004 12:23 a.m.


Time for another Kristin pampering day. Over-due actually.

Monday, July 5, 2004 09:48 p.m.


So. Had a cool weekend. Good time at John's Dday celebrations. Have like 12 more nicknames now... (great)... and like 25 mosquito bites (at least)... but well worth it.
Stevie and Ella came to visit me at work today (very cool) - had a good chat with them. Can't wait to (hopefully) go to Halifax for a bit in September. :)
Also finally went out for 'coffee' with Dulcie to give her her bday present that I've had since mid-May. :p Most enjoyable... and fell in love with one of the pictures up at Tango. I love Tango. And Dulcie. Love Dulcie. :p
And talk of Ikea is making me giddy. I really want to re-do my room.
Tomorrow going to see a movie with Jac. (Je suis tres looking forward to that as well.) Not sure what movie we'll see... but read in the paper tonight that Fahrenheit 9/11 is playing in Stratford... and I definitely want to see that at some point. Have heard much about it from people at work.
Anywho... time for dinner.

Monday, July 5, 2004 06:49 p.m.


Oh my God I had a really good time last night. I love weekends off work. :) I need to do this more often. Maybe it's the whole I just worked out & have been outside in the fresh air thing. But I'm pretty happy right now, and I enjoy it.

Sunday, June 27, 2004 11:20 a.m.


I'm going to have accumulated a loooot of hours this month.

Friday, June 25, 2004 07:17 p.m.


Okay. So... 6:42. Guess who just got home from work? I thought I'd do it today in hopes I could get out in time tomorrow. But I bet I'll be staying late tomorrow too. Wooooooooooooooooooo.
It wasn't all bad though. I mean... I've been running all day long... since like 11:00... (before then I was sitting down) but it's kinda fun when it's all crazy and busy. Excitement.
Speaking of excitement. I bought the new Ella Fitzgerald CD we just got in at work today and it is orgasmic. No joke. I love this CD. Anyway. Going to find something to do with all my energy. Man Classics would be fun tonight. I am so pumped right now.
Later.

Thursday, June 17, 2004 06:42 p.m.


All I want right now is a hug. I could really use a hug. That's all.

Wednesday, June 16, 2004 05:30 p.m.


Man yesterday was a really awesome day all around. I need to start planning my time off so I can have more nice days. :p
I'm looking forward to Jackie coming home this weekend. Hopefully she'll be home long enough that we'll be able to go do a lil' shopping downtown. She's helping Sam's sister pack this weekend too.
Not looking forward to working this Saturday. Not at all. But at least I'm not oncall on Sunday.
Which reminds me... must buy Dad Father's Day present.
All for now I think. Tired. Can't think. Goodnight.

Monday, June 14, 2004 09:08 p.m.


So. Stuff is weird. Stuff sucks. Stuff should go stuff it where the sun don't shine.
Anyway...
So...
I'm really fucking confused / maybe not actually confused anymore as much as... deep down I think I know the answers, I just am in denial of them 'cause I don't like them :p and I go on saying I'm still confused... even though if I'd sat down a while ago and looked at the facts, the answers would probably all have been clear. Sometimes I should just... open my eyes... wake up... that sorta thing.
Work is kinda weird right now. Being short staffed sucks. I know... it's only what... 9 days now I guess? Maybe 8? until the students are in during the day running the store leaving us to do other work... and for myself... somewhat different work as well... training students (think I started to go off track of what I was originally getting at but oh well) Each day is just a jumble of a whole bunch of stuff. It's kinda tiring.
Plus, Relay for Life was this past weekend, and my body still hasn't fully recovered from that... I've spent the past two nights after work having a nap, waking up, eating, then going to bed pretty much.
Annnnd, it's my weekend this weekend. So I work all day Saturday, and I'm on call on Sunday.
The big 'Brunch' is also this Sunday.... which I'm not entirely sure if I'm looking forward to or not. I mean, generally, I really like going out with my work peeps... but this one is weird 'cause we're supposed to bring 'a guest' (which I don't have) and everyone else has & is bringing either a husband or a boyfriend... so it's going to be weird being the only one by myself... but c'est la vie I guess. Life is rough.
Plus... I've also been asked to work next weekend.... which would not really leave me many/any days to recover. I can still say no I guess... but I don't know.... We're also supposed to go to Oakville to see my Papa on Father's Day.... and I want to go stay in Dundas for a weekend sometime soon too. That wouldn't be a bad weekend for it actually... me no know.
I just want some time off this summer... it better damn well work out that's all I have to say.
I'll stop complaining now... not that I really have to... I don't need to apologize for complaining... 'cause this is my pita... and no one else has to read it... it's for me to vent... and that's what I do. So there.
All for now. Good riddance.

Ha Ha Ha.

Monday, June 7, 2004 06:21 p.m.


I'm confused.
However... I feel not too bad physically...which is good. So note to self, when drinking... less is more. ;)

Sunday, May 30, 2004 04:00 a.m.


Okay... so, sometimes I wonder what the fuck is wrong with me.
There's that whole 'it's good to take risks' thing... though at the moment... I'm struggling to think of an example of my risk taking actually turning out to benefit me in any way. Not to be selfish. Which is maybe what I'm being. Because I say things just thinking of myself... not that I don't think of the possible reprocutions... but I did still say it... and though it may be something I want to say, it may be something someone else does not want to hear. And that's not very cool for them. So really it's selfish for me to say anything. Right now, my thoughts are.... stay in bed for the next couple days. Though I told Laurel I'd meet her at Central at 8:45am.... not sure how likely that is... but I suppose I'll go to bed now and give getting up a go. Maybe after I come home I will get in my bed and stay there until Monday morning when I have to get up for work.
I'm sorry. :(
Goodnight.

Saturday, May 29, 2004 04:30 a.m.


I'm going out for lunch with Emelie tomorrow. :)

Monday, May 17, 2004 08:50 p.m.


What a lovely start to the day. *rolls eyes*
Had my whole day planned out. But c'est la vie... I'll just have to change it up a bit.
Alison goes for a cat-scan this morning... actually, she's there right now. I hope everything turns out okay. It's probably fine.
This week should be a good week. I'm glad the whole Relay for Life thing seems to be shaping up well. Jared's gonna be on the team now, so that's cool. We're going to have a bunch more people than last year. Good good good.
Anyway... *Phew... just checked, cab not here yet.* Gonna go anyway, later.

Monday, May 17, 2004 08:30 a.m.


Fuck this. Fuck you.

Friday, May 14, 2004 09:05 p.m.


Went shopping with Al Mc after work today. I bought a skirt. :) :) It's prettty. So glad it's Friday. All for now.

Friday, May 14, 2004 06:19 p.m.


I am so confused. :(

Tuesday, May 11, 2004 06:48 p.m.


Oh Dulcie, why must you be in another country?
You are so great. I miss you. You are oh so wise and trustworthy. Hey, your birthday's coming up in a couple weeks... we should do something funnnnn.
When you get back lets go shopping... to the forbidden store. :) heh heh heh

Saturday, May 8, 2004 08:41 p.m.


You know what I should do? Read Bridget Jones's Diary again. I am so in the mood for some Bridget right now. :p Man... why did I have to lend the DVD to Thea? What was I thinking!? Maybe I'll do that... read the book that is... some quality girly reading.
I can't wait til The Edge of Reason is in theatres. :) All for now.

Saturday, May 8, 2004 03:55 p.m.


It is 5:30am... we (being Laurel & I) just got in.
I should have come home a long time ago. And they should have woke me up at 3:45 like they promised they would. Not 4:45. 'Cause that sucked.
At least my mom wasn't up getting ready for work yet when we got in. I wouldn't have enjoyed that so much.
There were some good times tonight. I really would have liked to have danced. I was really feelin' it. But alas, not this time. Laurel has said that next time she'll come dance with me... (instead of saying... 'no, get away') so that's cool. We'll see.
If Kerri had ended up coming out I probably would have danced.... whatever.
So next time, early on in the evening when I say 'maybe I'll actually stay home and clean my room and dance around while listening to music, or working out - 'cause I want to feel the way that makes me feel. I might just do that instead.
If I do end up going out tomorrow... which I very well just might... I've decided now that I am not drinking.
I do feel somewhat cleansed though... I got a lot out earlier... which I think I needed to do.
I've got a fair amount to think about I guess. I mean... I think I already know what I need for me to do... I just have to start my plan in action. Less talk, more rock as we say at F&C. Though... stepping back... am I relying too much on the advice of others... ie... the one person that seems to be very adament (sp? I don't know... at this point don't care) about what they think I should do? I should take everything with a grain of salt I suppose... but when someone keeps telling you something over and over and over again... whether it's true or not... you sometimes start to believe it... which I think I have done... or at least am starting too. Not that I don't completely disbelieve in the advice I'm getting. I believe it for the most part.... I just don't like it... I hate those 'one of those things you just may never know' situations. Suuuuuuuuuuucky.
Anyway... I'm just kind of blabbing along and being somewhat vague... which is what I kinda do on here... getting my thoughts/feelings out in a roundabout sort of way as other people do read this. Which sometimes I wish they didn't... but I suppose I could always get another private pita. But I don't really want to do it. This is my address. And so what if people read it I guess... I don't think that many actually read it anymore. Or at least one can hope.
Note to self: Avoid situations in which I become a 3rd wheel... it's no fun at all.
Note to self: Dress more warmly next time I go out... man I was freaking shivering.
Another note to self: Start working out more again... it makes me feel good.
Yet another note to self: Use head more.
Well... being as it is starting to get light out... I think I will go to bed.
All will be well in the morning... wait, is morning... well hopefully all will be well after many hours of sleep. Goodnight (or something).

I wonder what will be the first to explode; my head, or my heart.
