11:09 pm	Okay, so kinda choked. Laser Tag got canceled for tomorrow night. apparently too many people were bailing on it. So, i hereby propose to all of those who read this that we get together a night when we go and play laser tag. I haven't been in a while and i would really like to go again. (and i want to shoot alice in the back... but that's a different story) So what do you think? and what day would be best? wednesday has the 2for1 thing, but then friday and saturday would be better for others? maybe? There is a location right by braid station so it is quite close for many (and for those who it is not... you have my place to crash at?) Tell me what you think. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:11 pm	Bah... introspection and indecisiveness suck! When one looks in at themselves, it is probably not the most healthy (or productive) thing to constantly question everything. *sigh* and no this is NOT emo... I'm so smarter than an emo person. and now bed... been up awake for too long (Comment on this)

12:24 am	wow.. i'm posting! Well it's been ages since i posted in here. i think it's time for an update. first, new icon. i loves my dancing cheetah. is it a cheetah? i don't know for sure, but sure, close enough. Next, work is going well. We're still growing like shit, i've tried to get people to work with me, but for some reason they don't all want to work in port kells. Okay, granted it's a little shithole, but come on! It's a good office, has everything people have been asking for, serious or not. I mean lots of benefits, corporate discounts, special events, and lots of fun people to work with. Yea, the work load lately has been just omgwtf it's gonna kill me cuz we're so fucking busy.... but yea. yay for overtime? (yay for making $21 an hour?) but yea... that's about it for work right now. could go on about the ppl there, but no one reading this would know who they are, or give a flying fuck about it. Next! School... DONE!!! graduating soon... as soon as i remember to apply for graduation. Still have a few weeks, so yay, all good. Next, TONIGHT!! fun times, drinking, and a free drink for me? dunno how it happened, but it did. And if you have not figured out by now, YES i am a bit drunk. Not too drunk that i don't know what i'm doing, but drunk enough to feel happy. YAY HAPPY!! i'm hungry though >.> anyway, yes tonight. Erin has been trying to get us to go to this drag show at school. the show itself was actually REALLY good. London, or lindsay or... i think that was her name. She was really good. The spice girls act... really needed more planning. it as fun, but yea.... not great. The leprochaun, gyrating, amusing, but it was okay. Finally Kitty Valeur... he wasn't bad. could do thing in 7 inch (or so) heels that most of us could never do! but i didn't see much originality in the performance. The look on the face was pretty flat, it was like he was just going throught he emotions. He really needed to put some originality in the performance. it was too cliche. Also... made me just a little uncomefortable. I am not sure exactly why, but yyea, just did not feel right watching him. I also won a cat-a-pault. umm... yay. Alice seemed to love it, so i gave it to her. but all in all, i had a REALLY good time at the show, i really like hanging out with those girls. Erin dragging us onto the dancefloor... but STILL confused as to why alice wanted to change seats. perhaps if she reads this she can explain... or maybe erin who encouraged me to do so. ANd finally, for some reason i got a free drink tonight. dunno why, maybe the waitress liked me, or umm.. i dunno. maybe the bartender liked me? or no one liked me and they were just being generous. whatever the reason i had a brain hemorridge. quite tasty given the horrible name. then, after the show, the dancing, we head back here for gaming, ki watching her prince of tennis live action and then a round of head/back scritches. i dunno why, but i always melt for back scritches, and alice melts at head scritches. so naturally a pact was made... one gets all he/she wants of the sensation of choice in trade for the sensation of choice for th other. it works well. So, are you still reading? god WHY? i haven't really made sense in a while have i? anyway yes, bottom line. tonight kicked ass. i'm still a bit drunk, next week is drunken bowling, (for ki) and.... yay for st. Patty's day tomorrow and getting even MORE wasted. And, it's sad. i'm so conditioned by work that at the end of my sentence or statement i want to sign my name MikeV and then time stamp it. *sigh* oh well. i'm up for a raise soon. hope i get it!!

3:45 pm	i'm moving, and giving lots of stuff away Hey Everyone If you don't already know i move out in a week, and will be moving to Burnaby. (yes, it is technically burnaby). But i have just gone through some of my stuff and realized that i have too much *shit* that i just don't want to have to pack, and unpack them again as they are just not worth it. however, maybe some of you out there would like some. Basically i have lots of empty cd cases (yes, a long shot i know, but who knows right?) Comics, i have comics that i haven't touched, read or have any real interest in keeping. These are not manga mind you but actual comics. Battle Chasers, Danger Girl, The Tenth, Gen 13, amongst various others. (mostly Image and Darkhorse stuff) School Books. if you or anyone you know is about to take any courses in criminology TALK TO ME. i have lots of books that i can unload for cheap, or even free. (honestly i want to get rid of these things). and i'm sure as things go, i will find more stuff that i want to give away. that's just the far end of my room. i haven't touched my desk or closet yet. So please, call me at home, or reply to this and we can work with it. (4 Comments |Comment on this)

10:25 pm	Hey everyone... i suppose i should make a quick post since it's long overdue and yea. a lot to say. Well, the new job kicks ass really. It's good pay for doing nothing but sitting at a desk and phoning for references. There are tons of perks to the job, like corporate discounts, cheap food in the lunch room, very very lax atmosphere, almost no dress code. (and the fact that 80% of the office is female has nothing to do with it... oh no, not at all... *cough* ) but yea, it's a sweet job so far. the nitpickyness of the documentation and formalness of the writing style, but i'm getting it pretty quickly. I'm still going to be in training for another two weeks, and i get my first paycheque on the 8th! still about two weeks off, but hell, it's coming! and i estimate it should be about $800 give or take. not a bad chunk of change if i do say so myself. $200 will go straight to my parents as i owe them roughly $800, and then i'm guessing another large chunk will go to clothing. i SO need work clothes. having only 2 pairs of dress pants is not good. Then of course me and Dasha have planned to go shopping for some "alternative" clothes shall we say. But now i be tired... i just got back from bowling with a bunch of people from work. Lots of fun, hope we didn't break anything too badly, and maybe they'll let us back in eventually. But i be tired. sleep now. C ya (Comment on this)

You can talk with anybody at anytime and not feel pressured or uneasy. Your greatest quality, though, is your compassion.

3:31 pm	gardens are cool and all, but if you let them go uncared for, for like two years. goddamn. We have a good number of different berry bushes in the back, but they are now trying to kill each other, being over run by weeds (curse that fucking velcro weed...) and even black berries. the black berries are really bad, and it's even worse that they are all pointy and crap. velcro weed is not much better, it's really sticky and has some sort of mild irritant on it so when it rubs on your skin it scratches in a way, and stings for a while after. and it of course tangles itself into the other plants around and such. So, i start clearing out the Rhubarb so we can get to it and hopefully get one more large batch cooked up, and maybe mix it with raspberries this time. Rin? whatcha think? also i notice that our boison berry bush seems to be almost non-existant and much much smaller than i remember. so i start pulling out black berry, and velcro weed and just long grass etc. and about 4 feet back i notice, "hey, there is another boison berry bush here" and after 20 minutes i notice that there is the original bush, quite large and very healthy. i was quite happy. but my day in the yard ended when i got a thorn in my shoe and whipped myself in the eye with some velcro weed... fortunately it wasn't bad and my eye didn't get the irritant in it. that would have sucked... a lot. but i end my rather pointless update. there are other things going on, like the job interview in north burnaby at a lawn and yard care joint. do i want the job? only if it pays more than 12 an hour, if not i walk, well... drive away. don't wanna walk home. i'd get home in time for waking up the next morning. but i end now, and go shower, i'm smelly.

9:47 am	bleeding stomachs are NOT fun So, a couple nights ago i had a really nice dinner of fish and chips and fried prawns at home, had a rum and coke with dinner, and generally had a good evening hanging out at home. However, it was after i watched Howl for a second time that things... kinda went downhill. My back was sore after lying in a rather uncomfortable position on the couch, so sitting at the computer was not pleasant. But i was in bed by about 12:15, and i felt my back feeling better again, but just as that happened my stomach was starting to feel a little burny. a familiar feeling for me. thinking, "aw shit, i've got indigestion or something like that again" so i came downstairs at about 2am. only when i got up the pain that was annoying turned to omgwtf my stomach is eating itself! so, came down, ate some tums... didn't do much of anything. ate more, still nothing. then i took some baking soda with water. that seemed to work after about an half an hour. so i go back to bed, but by 4am my stomach is just in all kinds of pain again. so once again downstairs, where my dad was about to go to bed, but we try another round of tums, baking soda, pepto bismal... nothing. by this time i am needing help to walk around, i have a lot of pressure in my stomach. so, walking around was good, but not easy to do. felt like i had aged about 50 years in that one night. so my stomach was just all kinds of paining. finally about 5 i had some Eno, something that normally ADDS pressure to your stomach, but for some reason after an initial bout of intense pain... it seemed to ease things off. and by 6am i was feeling better, not great, but better than i was. At one point my dad was tempted to phone an ambulance, and i would not have argued. probably the most pain i'd experienced in years. and we expect from a few other tell-tale signs that i may have actually had a bleeding ulcer. not very fun... so my dad called his doctor today to set up an appointment for me, i hope i can get in soon and find out what the hell is wrong with me. until then i have to really watch my diet... so no more spicy foods... boo. so that's about it... well besides me also waiting to hear from the job i had that interview for. so a little anxious about that. i go now. i'm bored with this post.

8:18 am	Well... these last couple days have been full of ups and downs. and no, elevators this time are not involved. so, thursday night, i have my cousin staying with us for a couple days while waiting for his gf to fly in from, somewhere, can't remember. So, it was great to see him again, had a lot of fun chatting and hanging out. thursday night though... stayed up a bit late after i got home from the practise run on Raw Deal with Bryson. (surprised as hell that i beat both Tyler and Dan, although one win was assisted by bryson and the other Dan made a critical error and could have beaten me). So i forgot that i also had to help dad take the car in to get fixed that morning... so i was unpleasantly awoken at 8am. however the rest of the morning and afternoon went well. i had to make a potato salad for dinner at Erin's that night. that took a good few hours, just because we were making a double batch. one for me, one for everyone at home. i took the smaller of the two batches, which was for more people, and STILL had a lot left over ^^:; i guess that's what i get for making over 12 pounds of potato salad. So, went to the dinner thing, had a very fun time. although, while there i think i may have eaten something that didn't agree with me. by the time i was about to leave i felt like hell, really spacy, stomach all ill and sickly, and when i got home, yes i did give a technicolour yawn. (if you don't know... don't ask) and then last night i woke up with a horrible stomach ache, felt a lot of pressure in the stomach, i don't know what it was, but i took like 5 tums and some Eno. but, it's still not exactly feeling great. But it is still better than what it was before. so i can hope that i will feel completely better by the time i have to go to this Raw Deal tournament tonight. So... it's now 10am. it takes me forever to post, i started this at like 9am ^^;; but distractions and such. anyway, feeling better now. stomach may actually feel like cooperating! So, yea, Rin thanks for the dinner, it was a lot of fun. So, umm... i guess that's about it for this post. out Edit: forgot to mention i got a package from the new west courthouse. they recieved my resume, and sent me an application with a letter that told me about the positions open and looking to be filled. so i'm gonna fill that out and send it in on monday. i can't wait. i HOPE to hear from them soon!! it would so rock working there!

12:54 pm	well i finally have myself an interview! It's with a company downtown on Robson street and basically what they do is help retail stores reduced and prevent thefts. Company's apparently contact them, whine about how crap gets stolen from their stores too much, and these guys go in and use a variety of methods like employee training, better store set-ups, and even undercover narcs. I don't know what exactly i would be doing as an entry level person. But it does sound rather interesting. I go for my interview tomorrow morning at 11:30, i will probably end up skytraining it as i hate driving downtown. but if u are ever so curious, here is their cheesy website. http://www.eliteretailsolutions.com anyway... all for now!

12:02 am	Well, i suppose i can write in this thing... it's been bloody well long enough. As most of you probably know, i'm looking for a job right now. if you don't know that... i have no way of cleverly finishing that sentence off without making it sound retarded. Tonight my brain took many severe shots, and probably broke more than enough times. I watched the OVA of Hare + Guu, my god that show is just too much of the OMGWTFBBQOWOWOWOWOWMYHEADJUSTMELTED. just reading that is probably like watching guu for about a minute... it hurts folks, it hurts a lot. In fact it actually was a large contributor to Ruka having a laughing fit... something she has not done for quite some time. this is the effect guu can have on you, it is a powerful substance and should only be used under strict supervision. Following the entire 7 episode OVA (with 2 parts per episode) we watched the family guy movie... Ruka and P-chan both haven't seen much of family guy, so it was again brain breaking for them too. So it was a good night. but anyway, i got way off topic. i think. Back to jobs... yes i've been looking for a job now since the 22nd of april. I know that's only just over a week, but honestly i'm getting frustrated. I hate not having structure in my life, it's boring as hell, i have no income to work with, and i hate getting up each day thinking "what the hell am i gonna do with myself today?" today alone i applied to about 20 positions, so i can only hope i hear back soon! But, onto a new topic, because i don't want to spend this entire post whining. Tonight, i heard something i didn't expect to hear... ever! Driving Ruka and P-chan home i hear a name on the radio that sounds familiar. and thinking that there cannot be too many Genereux families in the vancouver area, especially with the first name of Ginnette, i get a little curious. The song (titles alibi) was pretty good, kind of upbeat, good voice, and a fun kinda mindless song that u can have playing in the background. So i go home, and google the name, and yea... as i thought. It's the same girl that went to my highschool, and was involved in the production of Hello Dolly that i worked on. My favorite memory was easily when she was dancing with John, only she was about 6ft, and he was 5'6. so one day she was wearing heeled runners... and they ended up switching shoes so he could twirl her without having her bend down under his arm. he actually ended up wearing them during the performances... and nearly bailing on the boot covers many times. Still, it was really quite the shock, and for those of you who actually know of her and read this, well, umm, yea there u go. if you haven't heard just google her name, she has her own website up. and u can listen to part of her song online. so go... do it. but that's all for now. yea, there is more that's going on, but i don't feel like typing it out. if u want to know just call me, msn me, aim me.. i dunno do something. lazy bastards... just kidding. not really. yea, i am.

4:51 pm	Well, this entry will be two-fold... and i know it's been ages since i posted, but really. all the people who read this i talk to on a fairly regular basis anyway. But, today i was driving Glo, Andy, and Amber to lougheed mall as i was about to head home, and on the way i got the urge to play "uncle fucker" from south park and play it loudly. why? i dunno, for shits and giggles really, it's an amusing song. So, today was a rather warm day for once, so we have our windows roled down, with this song playing. We pull up to a light, and the car beside me has it's windows down too, so i turn the song down just a little, just so they don't have "donkey raping shit eater" blasting in through their windows. Well, i look up after a few moments again, and i see a little girl, no older than 4 in the window of the car beside me, and again the song is still on. well... i instantly turn down the music and look away, i have no idea if the parent of the child looked over, but it was bloody funny. i wonder if that girl is gonna call some kid in her class an uncle fucker tomorrow. does it make me a horrible person if i find that funny? To change the tone, direction, and mood of this entry totally, in fact it really is a second entry, but i am lazy so i'm just making this one entry. After today, and talking to my family a bit, they think that i am too nice to some people. I mean, i like to help out my friends when i can, but i do seem to have a hard time saying no, and i wonder is it really that obvious at times? So, i put it to you, the people who have actually read this far, and didn't just skim to this part wondering wtf is he talking about, this doesn't have anything to do with a warped child in a van. Am i really too nice? do i sometimes give the impression of a doormat that people can just take advantage of? I certainly hope not, but i do want you to be honest. Anyway, i had best be off and get back to my homework. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:45 am	I think my friends have killed me... Last night i just could NOT get to sleep... i think i got about 3 hours in total, and that's sketchy cuz i just kept waking up. finally around 6 i just said "aw fuckit" and got up. it's not 11:45 and i tried to have a nap, which ended up me lying in my bed for over an hour staring at the insides of my eyelids wondering" why can't i freaking sleep?" the troubling part is... i don't feel tired!! yet i know quite a few people who stay up late... don't sleep, and yet function quite well. how do you do this on a regular basis!? has your lack of sleep-needing behaviour taken me over? i hope not... sleep is fun! bah... well tonight i'm gonna take a full pill of melatonin and just knock myself out. i hope it works...
