The good news just keeps on coming!

So I called my dear hubby this morning to see if he had finally booked his ticket to come and see me this summer, but he couldn't because he couldn't get on-line to find out what his bank balance was so he told me that he would do so as soon as he could get on line. I get home from school this morning and low and behold I noticed that he called me. So I called him back, he's booked the ticket! June 13th! Awesome!

But it got better, when my mom come home for lunch she told me that the Ralph bucks are here ($400 prosperity checks from the government). Yeahhhhhhh, even though I had to sign mine over to her anyways because I owe her so much money it is going to be at least two lifetimes to pay her back!

Today is a good day indeed!

I seriously question other people's intelligence!

I have a very short patience for those that are stupid, and not the sort that is spontaneous either, I am talking about deliberate stupidity, as a make-up of their own personality. Many who know me and I what I go through at work will completely understand what I am talking about and will know why I want to leave soooo bad!

I paid them off!

I went to the bank today and paid the $1.02 that was outstanding from my loans temporarily going back into repayment.

I am in the process of choosing wedding invitations, oh my god what a process!

I knew it, I KNEW IT!!

Well I think that the writing was on the wall for the last few weeks, Steven Harper eeked out a win, but he got a majority. I think that anyone with half a brain in this nation was breathing a sigh of relief and shaking their heads thinking damn there are alot of dumb people that live here! This is the one and only time you'll ever hear me refer to Steven Harper as Prime Minister. Fuck head sounds more approprate. So let me list the things that I am going to miss now that Fuck Head is in power:
My right to choose
The gay tax base
A government with a surplus
A government working towards eliminating the deficit
Working for the public service
Living in a nation called Canada
Not living in a nation called USA!
The absence of daily prayer in school
The joy of beer and popcorn
The joy of watching a gay wedding
The joy of watching a gay wedding and having a beer and some popcorn
The joy of watching a leader that doesn't look like he could be a very uuuuuuggggllllyyyyyy drag queen on the side
Access to universal public health care
Freedom of speech

Oh my I could go on! I will admit this is sad times for Canada but then again it should be no time at all and well will be back in election mode and maybe just maybe there might be a shake up and the NDP will have a minority government with some greens thrown into the mix.

How should I pay back the Royal Bank of Canada!?!

Those of you who have student loans from the Royal Bank of Canada will know what I am talking about. My loans "mistakenly" went into repayment back in December, just after the new year I got a nasty letter telling me that my account is past due, hello you never sent me a bill! So after about three phone calls to get things straightened out because the first one her english wasn't so hot and well she couldn't give me sufficient reasoning as to why my account went into repayment because I sent all the appropriate work months ago. So I asked for a manager, who was unavailable at the time, the second time was much more successful and as it turns out who every looked at my case was a total screw-up however she neglected to tell me that I would still be responsible for the interest accrued. So the other day I sat here after work and thier automated system called here 4 times within a 10 minute span. So I called again to see what the hell was going on. Turns out I owe the Royal Bank of Canada, $1.02!! I am so angry that I am debating as to how I am going to pay this. Do I pay with 102 pennies, or 25 nickels and 2 pennies, or 10 dimes and 2 pennies or, 4 quarters and 2 pennies or, 1 loonie and 2 pennies.
Leave a comment and let me know what you think that I should do!

So is it going to a majority or a minority?

It yet remains to be seen, the election happens Monday and well it looks like those fucking Conservatives are going to win it. The only thing remains to be seen and that is whether we are going to be having a majority government or a minority government. I hope that for this country's sake that it is a minority government so that it will fall just as fast as the last government did. That way maybe both parties will hold leadership reviews and get some fresh blood (and maybe more brains) into Canadian politics. What I would really love to see is a Independent Party of Canada, with those who follow what their constituents want more so than just to follow party lines. Or even better yet, bring in proportional representation instead! Oh man I think that I am going to burn at the stake for all of this. But one thing is for certain. ON MONDAY JANUARY 23RD VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't trash the 'stache

Leave Jack Layton't mustache alone Steven Harper or I'll start bugging you about your use of eye liner!

I knew I was right!

I am not the only one that thinks that Stephen Harper is scary, other people say it too! Gotta love consensus!

Snow Bed Sleep

So here I was commenting about how much I was wishing for snow, and my husband in Sweden is getting shitloads of it! Apparently there is over a foot of snow where my dear hubby is. Damn it, why couldn't I take another year off of school and live in Sweden again!?!

On a much better note, I got a nice delivery today, a new bed, ahhh which is so nice because I haven't had a good night's sleep in ages. This morning I was dosing in and out of sleep and I dreamt about having a baby, and ironically enough it was quick and painless which tells me something that I worry about and that is that it is going to hurt like a son of a bitch!!!

No job offers yet. Shit!

It's snowing!!

I come home from class tonight and there is snow on our driveway! How wonderful! I wonder if I can call in sick tomorrow because of the roads????

Just waiting for the snow to fall

This winter has been mediocre for snow. There is maybe maybe 2 cm of snow on the ground just out side of the front door. Apparently according to the weather forecast we are supposed to get some more snow. I love the snow because people seem to bitch about it so much. I don't know why it makes the shorter days of winter so much easier to bear! So please pray for snow, just for me!

Statcounter rocks!

Ok I have had statcounter on here for about a month and a half now and it's pretty interesting to see who checks this out.

So far someone in Ottawa is checking me out, I think it is for all the negative comments I have made about Stephen Harper and the Conservatives. I think that somehow eventually I am going to end up on some black list. Ohhhhhhhhhhhh scary!!!




I have hits from the UK, Malaysia, Austrailia, India, Brazil, Uraguay (that is probably spelled wrong), and Sweden. Not to mention countless hits from the States and Canada. So leave a message to say hi, I totally encourage it!

That's it! I movin!

Looks like Stephen Harper is going to get elected, man I hope that his government falls faster than the Liberals because it's going to get really scary around here!

Personality

We were discussing personality yesterday in my Personality class (wow what a concept!) anyways we were discussing how environment plays a part in determining personality. So my professor, who I am not too sure I like because a) he's not a regular staff member (not even a U of C prof!) b)he's firmly entrenched in religion and he reminds us of that all the time and c) he's American! I know I know, but the thing is I have had lots of teachers that were originally from the states but they were not as bad as this guy. My old band director is from the same area he is, and my old band director is the sweetest thing you will ever meet. In fact I am pretty sure that they graduated from the same University! This prof talks like UCLA is the next best thing to sliced bread.

So anyways back to yesterdays discussion about how environment can help play a part in determining personality and the prof used two examples, the one I really really liked. He used Sebastian Bach. The guy had something like 21 kids between 2 wives. A good percentage of them became composers or musicians. Ok that's a pretty good case I like that example. One would think that would be suffice, oh no not him, he searches for yet another example so he uses.... get this..... George W. Bush! Ummmmm yeah those who know me know that I have a problem with this, anyone with half a brain would know that this example right here is the lamest one ever. I wonder if I should drop this course now and get money back!

Help!

I need to find a topic for my Brain and Behavior class. I don't want to be typical but then again if I have to be I will. If you can think of strange diseases that affect the brain, LET ME KNOW!!!

Still sooooo boring!

I can't believe that this election is so boring. You would think that they would all come up with something new and refreshing instead of sounding all the same!

Yaddah

Does anyone want to employ me???

Okay I had an incident with someone at work on Sunday and I would love nothing more right now than to quit the job that I am currently at just to find something better so let me know eh!

I am shocked!

In a little surf about that I just did, it turns out the Conservative Party of Canada has actually published a political platform for this the most boring election campaign ever! I am shocked because last time around the Conservatives had something to hide. Could it be that they are grabbing a brain? I hardly think so, if they get elected the women of Canada are going to watch the autonomy of their bodies fly right out of the window. Birth control and abortion will be a thing of the past.

Morality

I totally hate this concept! I think it is because there is such a religious connotation to the concept. And if you know me well you will know that I am not that particularily keen on religion. I think that religion is a source of much discord in the world and a creation of an us vs them mentality that really isn't needed in this day and age.
I think that morality should be outright banned in terms of public administration. Morality should not be involved in law.

I know I know I am probably be burned in hell for this comment, but ah you never know maybe it will become absolutely frigid in hell. Ohhhhhh skiing on the volcanoes of hell. Man just think of all the tourist opportunities!
