Nerdtastic
You know when people tell jokes about nerds/geeks? Like, when they say something like 'level 100 hyper-ultra strike of venomous poison lava'? As in, that time we gave an award to Steve's woman saying something exactly like that? Or when people use words with numbers in them like 'n00b' and 'l33t'? How about 'RoXoRz' or 'pwnage'! Well, I both use the latter and can carry a serious conversation including the prior. I am a nerd. And a geek.

Emo-tions
I have been extra crazy emotional lately, terrifyingly so. I've been trained to let my feelings out any time I have one to express...but, even given that...I know I've seemed nuts. My bigger emotional moments have come at the most random and inappropriate times. For example, I'm saying goodbye to you, and I'm not happy, but I'm not freaking out...but becuse I'm crazy I come across as the most emotional person ever - I'm sorry. For the record, I was more upset about what was waiting for me than what I was leaving...
Someone needs to follow me around with a tub of Haagen Daaz and some vodka. One or the other will calm me down, and I would appreciate the butlership.

...And Bubbles!
My trip was loverly, but I shan't elaborate for reason both unknown and known all too well.
I will tell this story, though...
Once, someone was trying to open a bottle of cheap gas station wine with a cheap ten dollar corkscrew. They pulled and pulled, and tugged and tugged, and when that joyous moment erupted with a 'pop', I looked up to see not an open bottle of wine, but, a corkscrew in two pieces. Someone, I think, is hiding a secret metal shredding super power.
Work is becomming kinda sucky. The labour budget is extremely low, and as a result no one is getting any hours. I don't really care, because I get to eat, but still, I'd like that my only shift for two weeks not be simply attending a staff meeting - not that it's even that bad that my only shift for two weeks be one I can attend drunk. Still. I'd kinda like to not be really, super poor so I can maybe take someone out or something.
Danielle, while telling a story about waffer cookies the other day, told me that her mother explained to her that she had obviously never had to understand what it's like to be truly hungry. I thought fondly back to the times I ate only rice and canned tuna, to the times I snuck pizza pockets from Smatthew's freezer stash, to the moments I thought, 'wow, cheese is really expensive', and...I'm glad I can have cheese whenever I want. I am really thankful, actually.
Natalie is finally gonna get her birthday time in Toronto!!! Weeee! I can't remember at all what it was like the first time I went to the Dance Cave, but, I hope to live vicariously through little Doroslovac. Hopefully Susie will be nice to her and give her extra booze...she's a nice old lady, that Susie.
Retro Quote of the Moment: I AM DINOSAUR!!! (Smashy, not really.)

Ups and Downs
Firstly, can I just say that I am way too excited about my trip? Because, I am so excited I think my chest might explode with anticipation before I even get to step foot on the bus.
Secondly, working out is amazing. I can't remember a time in my life when I've fallen asleep easily - except for maybe that summer I bike 2 hours every night and passed out as soon as I got home...Anyway, the point is, I keep passing out each night within 5 minutes of lying down in my bed! By all accounts I should be extra unable to fall asleep because I'm so damn excited about my trip!
Thirdly, I was really worried that time would pass really slowly from last Sunday until next Friday, but, I'm halfway there! Once, when I was in the fifth grade, I remember very clearly sitting in Mr. Darling's room at the end of the porta-pak thinking, 'Wow, in 5 years it will be the year 2000! I'll be in highschool...that's so far off'. And then, like magic, it was the year 2000 and everyone was worried about all the computers shutting down and I remember thinking, 'Weird, it seems like only yesterday it was 1995 and I thought this day would never come'. On Sunday, I remember thinking, 'Fuck! Why isn't it next Friday?! Maybe if I concentrate hard enough, it will be next Friday, just like that time in grade five when I willed it to be the year 2000.
I'm am trying with all my might to will myself directly into a moviesque twirly-kissy meeting at the bus terminal.
As an aside, I think my brain is exploding...there is this vein on the right side of my head that is throbbing like a virgin penis at the Playboy Mansion. My mother needs to not be upset about not knowing if she should paint the bedroom or not. Mom, I don't care what colour the walls are, whatever colour they are now is completely fine.
