10:55 pm	My options: 1) Go to Arrogant Worms concert tomorrow solo and feel like a total dork. 2) Not go to Arrogant Worms concert tomorrow and feel like a total dork. 3) Beg friends/co-workers to come with me to Arrogant Worms concert tomorrow and feel like a total dork. *** Later: I have decided to go with option 4, that is, go to the concert solo, dress up pretty, make friends instead of bringing them, and not feel like a dork. : ) Though you're all welcome to tag along, Victoria people.

6:52 pm	So. Well then. So my job is calling alumni, right? We've got about 60,000. We're halfway through the shift. Aaaand we'll probably go home early because we're running out of people to call. No joke. Now this is good news, since yay, home early, most likely food early and kirk early, and packing early, and running around like a lunatic happy to be going home tomorrow early, yay tastic. Bad news, since it is a thirty minute drive for my valiant landlord to pick me up, so I will probably spend a half hour a) in the wind, which while I have been making fun of my wussy BC friends for complaining, is a bit nippy, or b) in the dark empty SUB. The SUB is quite creepy after hours. Meh. Shrug. They're poor (I know, it's a year too late for Lug-nasa jokes, but cut me some slack. I've been reminiscing.) In other news, I have none. Um. I think I did well on my midterms today, I got an assignment back for theatre history and totally schooled it. I will be reading over reading break, but I will also be doing a lot of other fun things. Word to the MBSS-ers and related grads: there will be an Earnest cast party. There is no question of this. If it has to be on the front steps of the school there will be one (But I really, really hope not). See you all next week. (Comment on this)

7:30 pm	I would really, really like to whine about work. But then I think, hey, I have a pretty good job. I like my co workers, I'm making more money than I ever have in my life, and it's indoors with no heavy lifting. It's not like I'm churning out hundreds of running shoes a day to feed my starving family, I just have to deal with the occasional cranky person. No big deal really. It's just that I really hate having to deal with cranky people. In other news, Historic Downtown Sidney was a blast; I definitely recommend the deep fried mars bars. Yum. And of course, hummus and pita, but everyone already knows that's good. Oooooh my head, says the whiny girl. My eyes are all wonked from this computer screeeen. Erm, so, I haven't updated in a month. And I really don't have a whole lot to update with. I'm going home in eleven days. Contain your excitement, Kelowna people. I had a really good/really dorky idea today. I want to start a... thingy. Yes, a thingy. I would call it 'Playground of the Revolution' and people would get together once a month and show off their art. We would have interpretive dance, dueling poets underscored by our faithful jazz bassist Lola, readings, displays of new works of visual art, and the occasional monolog or dialog. (Yes I have started spelling it the lazy American way. Ner. Ner to you all, I say.) And then we could talk about each other's work and discuss art and politics and chocolate fondue and the meaning of life. It would be good. But then I think: would this be before, or after the Love Bus' grand adventure? Or, possibly, during? I totally have to tell Becca and Lauren about the Love Bus. I hope you are all doing okay or better, kelowna people. I will be seeing you soon. Current Mood: tired Current Music: callers behind me (2 Comments |Comment on this)

8:58 pm	model of self-restraint, that's me on the one hand, I feel guilty because it is two weeks to Christmas and for all I know, somebody bought me "So Jealous" (Tegan and Sara) or "Live it Out" (Metric). Knowing the people who are buying me presents (Kirk, family), that probably isn't the case, but still. I could, however, have easily spent another hundred dollars at HMV. It was surreal. I always go into music stores, because, hey, they could have something. Until today, HMV was reliably disappointing: it never had anything. Today? Oh. My. Gravy. They had an Ani CD, four Belle and Sebastian, three Death Cab, two Metric, one My Chemical Romance, two Cursive, Tegan and Sara, and Le Tigre. Ladies and Gents, with the exception of Death Cab, NO ONE carries these people (well, they do, I just never find them). Now, if only Le Savy Fav, Audioslave, and Harry and the Potters had been there as well... and if only I was a millionaire. In other news, the randomest thing happened to me the other day. I was waiting for a light to change when a man walked up to me and said, "i've been following you for a couple blocks, and don't take this as a sex thing or anything, but your butt is AWESOME." and ran away.  WHen I got home, I just about died laughing. Just wait til Boxing Day. Then I will satisfy my addiction to/craving for music. Anyone got any good bands/albums to recommend?

4:56 pm	I may whine about it, but seriously, I don't mind the 2.25 hr ride home. Really, I don't care. I just hate not knowing, ever, what's going on or what I'm doing. I mean, grah. Grah I say! Enough whining, what good things happened today? I handed in the theatre history paper... we're getting behind in the lectures though. Uh oh. I have to come up with 2, 500 words on how suchandsuch an actor learned from the Group Theatre. Joy. (Comment on this)

9:36 pm	Helloooo! I'm back! From outer space! No, just from Kelowna. Reading break was spifftacularific, we celebrated my and my dad's birthday (my dad completely forgot about his), I got in a couple hours ago, edited and printed off my term papers, and now I am all ready to go. Only three more weeks left in the term! *happy dance* I am so looking forward to being home for Christmas. Wow, I am so hyper. At least I'm not like Kirk, I don't literally bounce around the room. But yeah... Starbucks, the Mall, Kelly Os, church, just being in my house again was fantastic. And now that I've been productive and proactive and all that jazz, it's 9:40 and I have no real work to do. *Shoulder Angel* You could study for your Stagecraft test on Wednesday. *Shoulder Devil* Nah, that's days away! Besides, that's only what, six actual lectures you have to remember? *Shoulder Angel* You did say you were going to make study notes for the others. *Shoulder Devil* I guess they should've stayed asleep in class, then, now shouldn't they? Or as Gus would say, "If they can't see the set... they should've come here earlier." Oh, and denizens on MBSS that I promised to visit: our car broke down at Orchard Park the only day I could see you : ( I will come another time. Pretty sure. You can kinda count on it. : D Night all!

10:46 pm	Wow It has been some looong time since I last updated, but you knew that. Life has been insane -- papers, midterms, going home for thanksgiving, got the student caller job, feel like I'm in grade ten all over again, really miss being in charge, but other than that... I'm doing well. A couple girls asked me if I was engaged today. : ) Halloween is a big up-in-the-air... Atomic Vaudeville's this weekend! Somebody come with me, or else I'll just Marina along again. I'm starting to learn my classmates' names... well, the theatre kids anyway. Very few people outside of theatre talk to me... except mEn. mEn's in my english class.

5:45 pm	THE RULES: List five songs that you are currently loving. It doesn't matter what genre they are from, whether they have words, or even if they're any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying right now. Post these instructions, the artists, and the songs in your blog. Then tag five other LiveJournal friends to see what they're listening to. 1) Modulation - Ani Difranco 2) I'll Follow You Into the Dark - Death Cab for Cutie 3) You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC 4) If I Die Tomorrow - Motley Crue 5) Lightness - Death Cab for Cutie I know, I know, long time no updates. I went home for thanksgiving, had a fantabulous time, makes victoria seem a lot more dismal than usual. midterm season is upon me. *does christine's little gun-to-the-head routine* KaBAM! But I did, in fact, get a job. *thumbs up* And combat boots. Now... I hereby tag... xwhitexcrossx  lissyabc brentus skitsochihuahua _boppers_ (Comment on this)

6:52 pm	Okay, now it's time to kick and scream and pound things. Why, you ask? Because I just found out I might have missed out on two great job opportunities in the same week. Not only was Box Office filled in the three days between me hearing about the job and me applying, but hotmail has been putting eight out of every ten emails I recieve into junk mail, meaning, I don't know I have any mail. So, today, I find out that unless I replied to their email by three hours ago, Human Development was no longer considering my application. After frantic emails and phone calls that lead nowhere, here I am, because I finally remembered what I was going to do. I was going to email christine and tell her about the Ron Weasely look a like I saw on the bus. Where am I supposed to find a job?

12:23 am	Time for a Mega Post Sooo much stuff has happened today. ( Lookit, I made fwiends! ) ( Close Encounter of the Speirs Kind ) ( Breakdown on Aisle Three... ) I just noticed I originally started a sentence with "So,..." twice in this entry. Gus wouldn't beat me with a ten foot pole. And PS: I want to go to a party this weekend. Unfortunately, I don't know of any. Does anyone have plans?

9:23 pm	Some days are song days. All today I've had songs running around in my head. It's funny how sometimes we link certain songs to certain images -- like whenever I hear that "Bananas" song, I can hear and see Christine shouting, "B -a-n-a-n-a-s!" at grad, and whenever I hear ACDC, I see Kirk and his air guitar. And of course, Time Warp is allll Brent's : D ( The beauty of LJCut ) (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:30 pm	We're here for a good time... ... not a long time, so have a good time, the sun can't shine every day. Christine, I know this is new to you and amazing and terrifying, but babe. breathe. relax. you'll enjoy yourself so much more if you aren't ripping your fingernails off. We can try to chill together, kay? One... two... three... not working is it? oh well. keep it up, now. : D I heart you. AC/DC is Australian. I shall go gloat now. Me: Kirk, is ACDC British? You Shook Me All Night Long sounds like it's about American girls. Kirk: Are you insane??? Me: It was just a question... Kirk (as "britACDC"): Shall we 'ave a spot of tea, then? Right after we finish this guitah solo. Alroight, we'll just finsih up then and 'ave our tea and crumpets. Me: Oh no not crumpets. Kirk: Alright then, not crumpets. But let's kill him! Me: He buggered off! etc. Mmm... cotton candy. For heaven's sakes, Maybe means Maybe! Current Mood: I just love the icon. Current Music: Trooper (3 Comments |Comment on this)

10:44 pm	Exchange: Me: There's only one bad thing about the picture I have of us. Kirk: Oh? what's that? Me: Well, I had to cut it a bit to fit it into the frame... I cut my dress out and I kinda look naked. Kirk: *ponders* Sweet. I'm sure organisations are wonderful things, but I have to come up with a specific number to prove on paper that I'm covered by my mom's dental plan, wait til sunday to get my student card/bus pass, only oh wait, the bus I have to take to uvic doesn't run sundays, and what's that? Monday's a stat holiday? I guess that means I'll have to wait til Tuesday, the day before classes start, before I can actually leave the house. It's going to be insane on tuesday! I'm going to die. But oh well. My boyfriend is fiiiiine. : ) And I now have a printer. And an electric kettle. They're both very pretty. (5 Comments |Comment on this)

10:03 pm	Guess where I am... Yes, that's right, citizens of LJania, I am sitting on my computer in my new room in my new house in my new city. Which is very pretty, and has a lot of people on the street breathing fire and playing music, only not at the same time. Some of the street performers are awesome (like the fire-baton-juggler who said, "Kids, don't try this at home. Try it at school, so your friends can watch!"), some are scary (the mime in a mask dressed in french clothes playing the accordion pretending to be a coin-operated robot) and some are just odd (the guy balanced on two tables, a garbage can, and a skateboard). Don't worry, I've already had my first mental breakdown. The internet died and I lost it. Shut up already, I'm not addicted! No that's not it at all. But yeah, it's kind of intense and everyone is crazy because this is a new thing for everyone involved. Except for Kirk, who has his girlfriend leave town all the time : ). But y'know, once the mini fridge is stocked with ice cream and I start going to classes and getting the hang of all this and have to friends to commiserate with, then I'll calm down a bit, eh? Plus I got the best piece of advice ever: "Make a really nice gay friend. Then, you have someone to look out for you who won't take advantage of you!" Seeing as how I already saw the Pride office during my insane rampage to find accounting (I wasn't in the right hall, floor, or building), that shouldn't be too hard. (5 Comments |Comment on this)

9:21 pm	Long Live Ceasar Oh, wow. That was definitely a fantabular last shift for Christine. "Want some BACON?" "I'd grab YOUR cheese" "WHAT have I told you about saying things when I have my mouth full?" And of course, my fish : D. Which is still in my bag. I leave in four days. In ninety six hours I'll be on the road. Once I'm on my way it'll be fine, I'm just wibbling while I'm sitting here unable to do anything. So... what're we doing tonight? (1 Comment |Comment on this)
