Books!

Today, I bought a few books. The prices ranged from 99 cents to 2.99... So of course I was pleased! Although the 2.99 books were almost NOT BOUGHT, until I googled them: They were both together for suggested purchases! WHAT ARE THE CHANCES I FOUND THEM TOGETHER? Amazing.

I love finding books!

Anyway, this evening I saw Toy Story 3. I've been wanting to see it for awhile, so it was nice to actually see it. It was funny, but it was also sad. I don't really want to SPOIL IT per say, but the toys have a new home with a really cute girl! She wears RUBBER BOOTS outside when she plays! And you know when people do that, it's awesome.

Yeah, truth.

That was kind of spoiler-ish... But OH WELL.

Ah. So I work tomorrow. It's sad, because I don't know if I'm going to get ten rooms tomorrow... She said you work your way up to twelve, and I'm like ... BECAUSE IF GET TWELVE, I will *NOT* be able to do that. I can't even do TEN in my time frame! It's sucky. PLUS TOMORROW my REGULAR boss is going to be there, and she doesn't allow the tv to be on! At least on the weekends, my weekend supervisors don't mind! That's how I watched The Wedding Planner. AND some comedy special! YEAH. Ah tragic.

Mark my words: I am not going to last through this job all summer. If I do... I amaze myself.

Yeah.

BUT! I am going to USE MY RIGHT to REFUSE to do rooms where people are SMOKING! YEAH.! On the grounds that I don't want to deal with secondhand smoke! I asked my dad, and he said that would PROBABLY work... But trying to refuse rooms with THIRDHAND smoke is pushing it. Sigh.

I'm such a loser, sometimes. Hah.

Although Homer Simpson comes into mind: You don't like your job, you don't strike. You go in every day and do it really half-assed. That's the American way.

And I say THE CANADIAN WAY, TOO!

But I'm done.

=) Yes!

First I'd like to say congrats to Shelly Quade on getting engaged. Yay for you, mon ami!

Secondly, I don't know.

I got a few references for my resume today. Which is nice to know, because I need a job. A job that I can call my own!

Yeah!

Shall I have standards when I apply for a job? Or should I just APPLY TO ANYTHING? I think I will do that! And I'll be PROACTIVE and bring IN my resume to places! Yes! I just need to go to the library and print off an army of resumes. It will be good, if I do say so myself.

Yes!

Hm. I bought a few books today: The majority of them were from the Georgia Nicolson series. And since I LIKE that series, it was okay! Yes. Truth. I love buying books, as they've got potential to make my day! I really want to buy Inkheart, though. I always miss my chance when I do have it.

Hm.

I did buy ABBA singstar today! And I was singing songs! It was fun. I also went back to Queen, and felt like I was winning sectionals! Haha, oh yes. Even though I am an epic fail, on the epic fail scale.

Truth.

Well, I must go write now. The summer project begins (on my end!)

- Possum

A list.

Five interesting things about my day!

1. My co-worker bought me cotton candy. I wasn't in that great of a mood, so randomly receiving cotton candy was tres awesome!

2. My mom and I went to Wal Mart this morning. I was going in for some sort of chocolate, while my mom went in for some random things. So I was late for school, and I just didn't bother going to first period! All I did was go to the library to print off the skit for my presentation, and then go to the class where I was doing my presentation to set up.

I ended up going first.

And just before I presented, I was like "Homer... Ellie... Robin... Leah..." TRUTH! I wasn't even THAT nervous! So yeah, cool!

3. I had pizza for supper. My mom made some homemade dough, and it was quite good. While eating supper, my mom, brother, sister and I watched Sword in the Stone. My voting for Robin Hood was shot down.

Disappointing, I tell you.

4. It was POURING RAIN! when I left co-op. And when I was walking to Chapters, I ended up getting SOAKED! It wasn't very nice, let me tell you. I should've just got my mom to pick me up straight up from co-op. BUT OH NO!

Sheesh. The things in my bag weren't too damaged! I had the book I bought in a bag, etc.

The book I bought was "How To Be Canadian". I plan on reading it, making notes AND mailing it to my american twin. Yeah! I cannot wait to get started on that project.

5. I'm currently reading The Tenth Circle by Jodi Piccoult. Honestly, what's up with the characters being raped? Plus I don't even know if FORSURE the character was REALLY raped. Because guess what? She hasn't been telling the truth from what I've already read.

AND SHE SEEMS KIND OF STUPID, because even though the boy "raped" (??) her, she still LOVES him. !! Silly!

And there was this moment when I was reading it, I was like "OH!" Because I got the title... As in, Dante and his circles of hell. Silly me.

I was going to buy some MORE books, but I couldn't find them. ;-;

I'm making a cake right now. It's currently in the oven, turning into some MOIST, SOLID goodness. It was just from the box, so it's not like, hours of effort. I'm pretty positive I mixed the entire thing and put it in the oven in less than ten minutes. Yeah, I am a smooth winner of epic proportions.

I also have to help my brother make cookies, as he's got a bake sale or something at school tomorrow. I say that I am a nice sister for doing that. Although my brother has a real talent for making GOOD cookies; Unburned, chocolately goodness in your mouth. I cannot do that.

I made cookies over the weekend, oatmeal coconut chocolate chip cookies, and while they weren't BURNED, they weren't picturesque. Plus the fact that I had some still in the oven when I went to make something in the oven didn't BODE well for the last batch. They didn't burn, but they did turn even more brown on the top. EPIC!

They're okay though... Cruncy more so than chewy.

Today I bought The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis at co-op. I actually just used my credit, so no money actually went into the exchange. It was nice. I was also going to buy Fahrenheit 451, but the copy I was hiding in some other section was NOT BEING NOTICEABLE! I guess I DID hide it well! And when I say HIDE IT, I just meant putting it somewhere where I could grab it later...

Man, I am a horrible person. But that copy of the book was three dollars cheaper than the other one! So why pay more? EXACTLY. I was just being savvy. Except y'know, ultimately failed. I'm going to have to keep on creepin', to see if I spot it. The same thing happened with The Catcher in the Rye. I'm always disappointing myself.

*sad face*

Today I got to listen to a hockey player TALK about GOALS. IT WAS SO BORING! All I did was go ... the entire time, and want to leave. Except I stayed! And when it was over, I went back to my class. As did two other students. I got to leave early though, and walk to the bus. It was nice, without the rushing! Except I WAS rushing, because my friend was ahead of me, so I was trying to catch up to her. I did! That was nice.

Except her best friend is dating the guy she likes, and it's causing some drama in her life. DRAMA SUCKS. AS do lame friends! DOWN WITH LAME FRIENDS, I DECLARE!!!1

TRUTH!

Well, I gotta go deal with that cake now. I hope it didn't burn too much!

Mhm.

Today is Thursday, and it's like Friday for me! WHY? Well Bob, I haven't got any school tomorrow! YAY!

So today we had a breakfast party in first period (where I sat alone, listening to music), AND in second, we learned about BILL 94 (what?! yeah...). IT WAS EXCITING!

Not really.

Today at co-op, my supervisor was all like, "if you see there isn't anything to do, you can just leave" and I was like "THANKS!" But I pretty much stayed there until 3:30, when he told me to go. Not in a mean way, but in a more "Hey! Start your weekend early."

SO JUST IN MY SHIRT AND A NOT EVEN REAL SWEATER, I had to shimmy over to Chapters, because it was starting to RAIN! Very sucky, let me tell you.

So in Chapters, I just kind of walked around, being a little fool. I did buy Charmed Thirds by Megan McCafferty, though! It was $4.99 in hardcover, so I thought that was nice. I have to wait until May to actually receive it though, `cause it wasn't in stock.

OHSWELLS. I can wait for Jessica Darling and Co!

Anyway, I found out my mom and brother went away for the weekend, so it's just my sister, dad and I home this weekend. This happens quite a bit, so it's not really OUT OF THE ORDINARY! It's just weird, because I don't know. So tomorrow I get to STAY HOME ALONE, and eat french fries! YUMMY.

Yeah.

I gots credit!!

I was on the bus this afternoon, and I was listening to my ipod. My bus buddy wasn't on, so what else was I supposed to do? So yes, I was listening and just enjoying the TUNES that came from the earbuds into my ears!

So, it's near my stop, and I take off my earbuds. Because I mean, I don't want them on when I'm getting OFF the bus, or, god forbid, when I'm walking into co-op. So there I was, turning off my ipod, when I hear it.

I freeze, suddenly overcome with a fear to turn around. WHY?!?!?

Well, I heard a VOICE! A voice of a particular girl who ANNOYS me. I mean, I used to be on friendly terms with her, but when I was like "hey, I don't like you" to her friend, it was like "I DON'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR EXISTENCE!"

(I didn't actually say "I don't like you" to her, by the way.)

So I kind of turn my head to CONFIRM my suspicions, and they were confirmed. Not only that, the girl sitting beside her was the SISTER of the girl previously mentioned. So it was all "turn around and stare straight ahead". I got so nervous! Like my heartrate went up, and I started to panic slightly.

Because the girl used to be friends with my sister, but when I stopped talking to her sister, my sister stopped talking to her, which caused some TENSION. (I realize that sounds REALLY confusing.)

Anyways, I don't know if they NOTICED me, but I noticed them! And it was an oddddddddd experience.

Also!: Today I brought in a few Garfield books into my co-op placement, and I got $31 dollars in credit! YES! It was exciting. So I made an account for myself, and felt proud of myself. I also bought Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone on cassette with that credit for $1.95 due to them being on sale. Yeah! I was planning on buying it earlier, but good thing I waited! True story.

Anyway, it was a good day. It went by quickly, and I'm surprised it's already the hour it is! Intense.

Hey-ay!

I bought The Shack, Thirst VOLUME ONE (just for credit purposes at my co-op) and an old edition of Glamour today.

Co-op was busy today! As soon as I shimmied through the door, I was busy. And I got really angry at one of my co-workers today. He was like "put these away" and "do that" and while it's my JOB to do that, I was like "!!!" PMS, how you suck.

So whenever he asked me to do something, I would curse silently in my head to him. So if anyone could READ MINDS today, I'd be a very angry person. Lovely, ain't it? Yeah.

I was able to pick out SIX books for a school to buy for their library! Since the YA section is "MY SECTION" (seriously, that's what it's called by my supervisor), I was able to "assist" the situation. Aka: I picked out books for them to buy for FEMALES. I was a little rushed in the last SECOND, so I grabbed a few random ones.

As chosen, here it is:

- 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson
- How To Be Popular by Meg Cabot
- Feeling Sorry for Celia by Jaclyn Moriarty
- The Boyfriend List by E. Lockhart
- The Au Pairs by Melissa de la Cruz (last minute choice!)
- Pants on Fire by Meg Cabot

I was asked to organize the CURRENT EVENTS section, and I was like "sure!" Because I don't mind organzing a shelf, usually, because it passes the time much more quickly. But I wasn't even in the "F" section when the STUPID co-worker comes up to me and says: "When you're done with that, I have a big stack of books for you to put on the shelf."

And I was like (in my head), "C'MON! I'M ALREADY DOING SOMETHING ELSE!" But because it was YA, it was slightly better. So I just kind of left the current affairs to CALM DOWN. And I went to my lovely YA, and got distracted by some of the back covers: I want to read some of them!

But I was really bored by the ones that are like "I love him!" I don't really WANT to read LOVE STORIES right now. I want something with MORE to it, you know? Yeah.

So there is that: I need to read the Tomorrow series. It's so good, you're not disappointed. ^__^

Fa-fa-friend.

I fell asleep after school and now I'm not tired.

Seriously.

Considering I didn't even go to bed until late last night, I feel like today will be the exact same, now. Gr! Why do Mugglecast podcasts have to be so awesome, anyway?

(What isn't awesome is listening to the Help Haiti one, and having to hear OTHER Harry Potter podcasts that are horrible. It physically hurt me to listen through one segment/show.)

Speaking of Harry Potter, today my friend came to see me at co-op and it was all "HEY!" I couldn't stop talking to her. Seriously for an hour we were chit chatting and I think my boss was getting a tad frustrated? Yes, exactly. I was still doing my work, albeit quicker to get back to her, but still. I think that was the most he's ever seen me talk.

Among the conversations we had, there was mention of Infinitus, the Harry Potter convention thing-y. We both were getting excited at the prospect of going, but reality always has to hit: School.

Why is school so expensive? If they want people to LEARN, shouldn't they make it CHEAPER? That's obviously the most basic argument one can make about tuition prices, by the way.

So today was fun in that sense. I bought a book for my AMERICAN TWIN, that my boss judged me on! He was all "an autobiography of two housecats... Really?" I felt I needed to explain it wasn't for me, but it was too long of an explanation, so I kind of just ran out of the store as fast as I could. Seriously! YOU COULD HEAR HIS JUDGMENT IN HIS VOICE!

I hate when people do that for books. Although I do that for Twilight, it's an entirely different thing!

Ha.

So my ear is starting to be a tad lame, and I'm all "booooooooo!" Because who doesn't boo their own body when it's like "SHUT DOWN!"? Yes. I know.

It be time!

I just had some fruit salad. It was yumtastic because I bought some strawberries to spice it up. I guess spice isn't the ideal word to use here.

I also bought a strawberry julius. Oy, isn't that a yummy thing! I ENJOYED IT SO. Although the person who made it seemed like she was in a bad mood. Hm. That isn't good! Bad moods SUCK.

My skin is really dry right now. As mentioned Sunday, SPRING! I WANT YOU! Actually, it's been really warm lately (hahaha... "warm") and everyone is saying that since March comes in LIKE A LION, it will go out like a lamb. Seriously! I've been hearing this a LOT since just yesterday. Insane.

Today I finally bought my first book from The Bookshelf. I came. I saw. I grabbed. INTENSE. It's The Hunger Games. I've been getting suggestions for that damn book since like last year (2008!) so since it was five dollars, I was like WHY NOT? Exactly. Even though my mom distinctively told me "not to buy books" when she gave me money this morning. I couldn't help it! It was like a SIGN or something. So now I'll be able to have some of The Hunger Games In Your Pants.!

Yay!

I can't stop with the surveys on a Sunday. It's like this THING I carry from one blog to another. =O

February is almost over. Tomorrow is March 1st.

LEGASP! WHERE DID THIS MONTH GO!?

I don't know, but it's over. I'm glad, because spring is so very close. I can't wait, because I can go biking again, and just all around enjoy NICE weather. *knocks on wood* I don't want any more snow! I DON'T! I DON'T!

So here is another survey for your enjoyment. Yes, enjoyment.

--

Who was the last guy you walked with, just you two?
I was shown around the store at co-op by my supervisor.

What was the last reason you got weak?
I was tired.

Do you have a sister that steals your things?
YES! It's so annoying, but I steal her things so it's a vicious cycle.

I sing so great, it's like "why don't you audition for Canadian Idol? OHWAIT, IT'S NOT ON THIS SEASON!" Haha. I don't know what I last sang.

What are you wearing right now? Seriously.
Whoah, seriously? Pj bottoms and a green shirt! It's all "Santa Paws Never Forgets The Cat". Oh the lovely shirts I buy.

Were you ever HXC?
Am I supposed to know what that is?

What's on the go for the weekend?
The weekend is almost OVAH. I expect sleep to come soon!

What song is dancing through your think machine?
Nothing. Although A-B-C, IS EASY AS 1-2-3 is in my head right now.

Who did you sit next to in your classes today?
I didn't have school today. As it's SUNDAY! Survey Sunday... YEAH.

Hit me with a lyric.
A-B-C, it's easy as 1-2-3!

What was the last thing you shoved in your gut?
Shoved in my gut? A lovely image, I'm not going to lie! I had some pumpkin pie. Oh yeah, that's so seasonal.

Pick someone. Hate them. Why?
*thinks* I wouldn't say hate. But I'd say I'm annoyed with them, as they STOOD ME UP ON FRIDAY. *shakes fist in rage*

What do you smell?
Nothing. My house?

Was the olympic torch carried through your town?
YES, IT WAS.

Did you know anyone who carried it?
No, but some girl (?) from my school carried it.

How many people do you know that deserve a kick in the baby maker?
Hahaha, baby maker. I love the person who worded this survey. A FEW.

Tell me your number without really telling me?
767.

Do you like gingers?
GINGERS ARE A PROBLEM WITH SOCIETY. I kid. They're not.

Do you have bangs?
Not really, no. Unfortunately I didn't get a haircut today. My mom noticed I put too much products in my hair to get a haircut. I was like 'woman, please!'.

What kind of cellular device do you have?
LG. Life is GOOD.

Do you have dishes in your room?
*thinks* I shouldn't.

Where were you October 3rd 2009?

No. There is ONE hoodie I wear when I'm cold. It's grey and has tape recorders on it! OLDSCHOOL!

No.

No. I see it on tv, but I'm all "LAME".

I think of the times I've went to the mall, and I can't really recall seeing any "hipster kids".

Taylor Swift or Justin Bieber?
Taylor Swift. Man, I can't wait until Justin Bieber goes through puberty. I never knew the times I saw him on the movie preshow that he was going to be such a twitter trending topic. FORREALZ.

Do you have any gay or bi friends?
Of course.

Tim Hortons or Starbucks?
Tim Hortons! But Starbucks does have that lovely strawberry frappachino. Ah!

If you came home to one of your parents cheating on the other, how would you react?
I'd be shocked, and probably get SUPAANGRY.

Is anyone in your family artistic?
Yes. All of them are! Them being my dad, mom, sister and brother.

"I won't turn the water on." Why did I say that? YOU figure it out! Dundundun.

Do you shave your legs in the winter?
If I FEEL like it.

If someone liked you would you want them to tell you?
It depends, but I don't know. Probably not.

Is there a bitch in any of your classes?
Why yes, there is! In my second period class, there is this girl that if she bumps into YOU, she'll freak out: "Get out of my way!" I've seen it happen many-a-times.

---

SO! Today is Sunday. Did you know today I went out and bought a bunch of books? YES, I DID! I even bought Harry Potter for my good ol' American Twin. The books, that is. So Leah, I should be mailing you those things, like planned, by Friday.

But Friday, I hope you come soon enough. I hope the first week of March is not a long one.

TGIF yet again!

The rest of the books I ordered? They came in today. When my mom said I had mail at home waiting for me, I was like "IS IT FROM LEAH!?!" And my mom was all "no, I think it's some books". I was disappointed. Disappointed at BOOKS!

But it's cool! They're all glossy and new! And I've got a "save 25% off on your next purchase" coupon. BUT! Since my order came in TWO shipments, I've got TWO of those coupons! YAY! I'm so excited to go to Chapters.

I mean, I was there today, but I didn't buy anything. I just sort of browsed. I did come across a book I wanted, but I didn't feel like parting from my last eight dollars. Ha, this is mostly because I was contemplating buying a strawberry frappachino, and that itself is like... five dollars.

Speaking of bookstores, my co-op supervisor said that I'm welcome to borrow a book to read on weekends or something. I was like "okay" but I didn't take advantage of that offer just yet. I'm reading The Phantom of the Opera right now (go chapter two...) so I'm not about to start an entirely new book.

Yeah.

ANYWAY, I'm so glad it's Friday. This afternoon I was just WAITING for 4PM to come around. I'm not saying I don't like my co-op placement, I'm just saying it's been a long week. Seriously. I just want to relax and watch some tv.

*thinks of homework* DAMN YOU WORK!

I sighed, before turning my head to the side. All I saw was a snowman wearing a neon jacket. Oddly enough, that wasn't out of place.

I went a candle party tonight. My sister was hosting, but it was at her friend's house. Since I knew the host/house person, I was able to hang out before the party. That was nice because I was able to steal some wifi signals and watch some AWESOME vlogbrother videos! It's so weird to watch them from the beginning knowing where it is all headed. They don't even call their viewers/commenters nerdfighters yet!

Anyway, I'm tired. I know I should be sleeping right now, but I'm blogging. Plus I'm about to put my hair in french braids after this so yay...

No, I like having my hair CURLY at times. It's nice. As my hair can't even function normally without it either being straightened or curled. This is what you get when you have thick hair.

SO!

I ordered a few books early Monday morning, and guess what? ONE OF THEM CAME IN TODAY! It's awesome because I got an email on Wednesday confirming the shipment. That was pretty fast, let me tell you. I actually thought the book I got today (Devil's Footsteps) would be late, because it was shipped later than the other three. But, they surprised me. Go Indigo! Anyway, at first I thought it was something else when my mom said I had mail, but of course it wasn't. I don't mind per say. It's still an awesome thing to get.

I now have to make my hair awesome.

The cat couldn't stop crying, and the dog smacked him

My mom is watching Star Trek right now. If I glance at the tv, I can see some Chris Pine lookin' fine. Oh, my eyes are drawn to the screen, to look at the man with the beautiful smile.

I think I'm just going to go watch Star Trek with her, because not only is Chris Pine in there, but so is Zachary Quinto!

Yummy.

So today I had my interview at my co-op placement. I was pretty nervous about the interview, but it wasn't that bad. Yeah, I was quiet, but I answered the questions sort of fine. The good part is that I got the placement, but there's also a clause in there that I can leave after a week if it's not for me. As it's described as a repetitive job. I think it'll fine. I mean, it's a bookstore. I love books. What's so bad about that?

True dat.

Speaking of books, today I bought Princess on the Brink. It's awesome. I mean, it's not my favorite book in the Princess Diaries series, but it's still amazing. It's just sort of sad, because Michael goes off to Japan and all that sad stuff. -_-

But I won't get into that now.

(Because seriously, Princess Mia was the saddest book in the series.)

I WILL STOP!

What I won't stop? Writing an awesome letter to Leah. Leah, I know you're reading this, so I want to say this: When I write to you, it's like I'm talking to you. And let's just say I write to you a LOT throughout the day. So it's like you're my constant companion! It makes my day less lame, let me tell you.

So I thank you, for being in my mind.

TGIF.

I'm so glad it's Friday.

Today I had to write my English exam. I was there from 9:30 to 12:05. I think that's the longest I've ever stayed at an exam, ever. I'm particularly proud of my essay, as I put awesome allusions throughout it. I just hope it doesn't result in marks being docked.

TRUE STORY.

I bought Princess in Waiting, CONGO and Fourth Comings today. I mean, Princess in Waiting and Fourth Comings were in like PERFECT CONDITION, it would've been a SHAME not to buy them. I also didn't even have Princess in Waiting before, so I enjoyed finding it. There's always something so special about this. I was like "MEG CABOT!?" And kind of had a happy dance.

It was very exciting.

I didn't, however, find the Harry Potter books I was looking for. It was rather disappointing in that aspect.

I just read this FML and it made me laugh: Today, my girlfriend broke up with me, all because whenever I laugh I say "lol." FML

Have you ever said 'lol' instead of laughing? I'm guilty for it. I can't lie about that.

But I CAN lie about other things.
