Jessica is currently in Italy. It is swell.
My liver is going to give out from the copious red wine consumption!
How is everyone else?
Last night we were at a tiny little bar, drinking and talking with a few men. My sister, being drunk, said to the two men in a pissy voice ...Dont you know it is extremely rude to speak in another language with us here when we cant understand you!.....
I said to her, Jill, they were speaking English...
priceless

I had a rad weekend, and drank way too much wine. Good times were had indeed!
I pretty much officially love this picture. Quality wise, it isn't that great, but it will forever remind me of sitting on the dock in the wee hours of the morning with random whistler boys, drinking beer, and having a grand time talking about the 'fat man's belly" mountains.

My little sister was so wasted by 11 last night, my Dad had to carry her home.
A grand ol Tuesday evening.
In 10 years she is going to be one of those people living under the bridge drinking mouthwash if she doesn't get her shi*t together.

Last night I met a few of my bestest girlies for some dins and bevies. One of my best friends has just bought a condo with her boyfriend. Last night she was complaining that she shouldn't even be out because she has so much debt, ultimately complaining about her mortgage. (I might add that she is one of the cheapest people I know... I still love her, but she just drives me INSANE).
Anyway, to the point. I said to her, no shi*t you have debt, you are probably going to have debt for MOST of you life. Welcome to the real world! (She didn't pay for any of her university, was given a grand a month from her Dad because her parents split, and has never (let me repeat EVER) lived out of her parents house).
She is a full time teacher, and now pays 800 a month for her half of the mortgage. f*ck, I know full time students who don't even work who pay that much in RENT!
Honestly, quit complaining about being 24 years old and being in a financial position to buy a f*cking house!

I am so effing tired this morning. I ABHOR spring forward!
It was my little sisters 18th birthday this last Friday, and my Pop's 50th. Craziness indeed. My sister Jill brought her boyfriend Tyson over for dinner on Saturday night for the birthday celebrations, which my Dad mightily enjoyed. I think he is a tad overwhelmed by the estrogen fest that is his family. Tyson and Dad spent the evening on the patio drinking Drambuie and smoking cigars discussing the meaning of life (aka talking about hockey) which was amusing to watch. I haven't seen him that hammered since we were in Mexico, except this time he didn't barf (hahahaha).
I really don't have anything else to say. Oh except my car has started making a sweet burning smell and squealing noise. Its pretty much awesome.

I went to the beach last night, made a splendid fire, and shared a bottle of wine. A perfectly calm clear night with the stars a shining, a bottle of booze, a fire, and good company. Twas splendid indeed.
In other news, I am a ragingly cranky ass bitch today!
I am cranky because I am editing, and typing a massive document for one of my bosses. Seriously the man is illiterate. He is a professional engineer, and he can't form a sentence to save his life. Grammar, spelling, tense errors. I have to turn his semi-literate chicken scratch ramblings into a pretty, legible document. It is driving me CRAZY! ARGH.
Ok, here is an example.
"Results indicate that when no Sydney pumps are operation the existing pumps are operation very close or into the power limit of the pumps."
I HAVE A HEADACHE!

So I bought myself a new pair of shoes, which are quite lovely if I do say so myself.
However, due to the insanely high platform on said shoes, I think I might die.
So if you happen to be walking down the street one night, and spot a blond girl on the side of the road clutching her ankle, help a sister out, because it will probably be me.

On my way to work this morning I passed my first 'real boyfriend', and my last (sort of) boyfriend. This is another reason I'm peacing out of this great Country. Too much freaking baggage before my first coffee!
It was quite lovely watching Sean (my most recent bed post notch) give a lovely high school girl a full check out. This is a 33 year old man. I think it is pretty safe to assume that a girl walking towards the high school, with a massive backpack on is a little too young. bleh.
And in other news, my favourite Modest Mouse lyric of the day is:
"Any opinion I don't give, is an opinion I ain't got"

Modest Mouse has a new CD.
This makes me happy.

I seriously have some sort of physical aversion to vitamins. I always try to take them, and they make me feel like barfing every time! If I have them on an empty stomach, I actually do barf.
I even had a piece of toast with my usual yogurt this am, and I STILL feel ill. LAME-O

Today I am counting building lots on a map. The intellectual stimulation I receive here at work is truly amazing. I had to count to 415, twice. I'm SPENT.
In other news I went out for a couple of bevvies last night (friends Bday). I was walking back from the bathroom, some guy grabs me, sort of starts to dance with me, and then full on kisses me. It was like a stealth attack kiss that caught me totally off guard.
Personally, I like to know someone for more than 30 seconds before I lock lips with them, maybe that makes me a prude... I dunno haha.
Anyway, the truly funny part was that after he attack kissed me, he looked at me and said. "That was the worst kiss ever". haha. No shi*t buddy. A good kiss usually involves the person kissing you back! haha
So freaking random. Who does that?

So the whole fam dam got together last night and had a lovely Sunday dinner at my parents house.
We had a wine induced family debate surrounding the use of the word "civilized". My sister Jill and I were telling my dad that we didn't like the word civilized because it inherently implies a hierarchy, with a negative connotation attached to the word un-civilized. Historically, the word un-civilized being attached to hunter gatherer type societies, and civilized attached to white western modes of existence. Anyway, my Dad kept saying it was an intellectual fad, and that associating a negative connotation with the word civilized was in fact completely misconstruing its original meaning (disregarding its well documented historical use). Ultimately it turned into this hours long yelling match with my sister calling my Dad's opinion antiquated. Haha. It was kind of funny, in that I just had a several hour long semantics argument kind of way.
Anyway, that was in fact a pretty boring story in retrospect. High five me.

You know what sucks? Being a good friend.
So I told my friend I would come pick her up at the airport and drop her off at her car. This entailed me driving over an hour, and dropping her at her car (which would have been a $15 taxi for her).
Eh, whatever. No biggie right. I'd do it for her, and she'd do it for me.
Except I got a $250 speeding ticket on the way there.
Of course it is on the road where it is IMPOSSIBLE not to speed (they dropped the limit from 80km to 60 km), there are never cops on the road, and I drive it EVERY day of my life.
My parents offered for me to use their car to go pick her up, to save me the couple of bucks in gas. I however still have my retarded 'N', and of course their car didn't have the stupid ass 'N' sticker. $ That alone cost me $103. Yep.
High five for having an 'N', getting a speeding ticket, and loosing your license!
Holy deja vous

I am bloated.
I feel 2 months preggers.
It sure is a good thing I'm off the sex. Therefore, not preggers.
According to the Jehovah's Witness pamphlet dropped off at my office today, I will "not inherit God's Kingdom" if I am a fornicator. Whew. Close call. Good thing I'm off the sex.
In other news.
- I have a cold. It sucks.
- I have a spider bite turned goiter which I am now on antibiotics for due to a possible MRSA infection.
Life is grand.
Oh ya, and I'm poor.
