Shiny happy people holding hands, shiny happy people laughing
At work today I was approached by a woman who apparently wanted help with the teas. I reacted the way I do with every customer, smile, use a syrupy-customer-service voice, and be prepared to spell everything out. She was asking me questions about packaging and buying the teas, usually interupting me before I had a chance to actually answer. ( Read more... ) -
Perspective
So, I've been reading the Anne of Green Gables books, there are 8 in total and I've finally made it to the last one. This book is essentially entirely about World War One and, what do you know, it's got me thinking ( Read more... ) -
a more fantastic place there never was.
I am having a love affair with the library. It is as simple as that. It's not even the books, I have enough books on my own. It's the music ( Read more... ) -
I'm going to break a window!
I desperately love my grand parents (my dad's parents). My grandfather died in 1977, I never knew him, my grandmother died when I was 5, I barely remember her at all. Maybe that's why I love them so much ( Read more... ) -
War is a drug.
I just got back from The Hurt Locker and it has made me feel very philosophical ( Read more... ) -
If you love something, give it away.
Last year, on my last day of high school, I started freaking out. I was almost in tears. I was entirely dreading what I had to look forward to for the coming year. And so far this year has been a realization of all of those fears. I was absolutely right to get upset when I did. I was afraid of going to work in a menial job, waiting on people, ( Read more... ) -
Just let the time pass...
I hate it when people talk about time. All of that "Carpe Diem", "every moment is precious","live your life" stuff. You know what, screw you. It all sounds so inspirational but there are certain realities that we just can't avoid. I have school work to do, when I'm not doing that I have a job that I have to put up with to pay for that school work ( ( Read more... ) -
This has been the Doom Bunker
Hey, my blood type is O positive. Isn't that cool? I'm the universal donor! However I can only accept other O types. I just got back my donor card from the blood clinic with my information on it. The actual blood donation was 2 weeks ago. It didn't actually go very well. They hooked me up to the thing and I didn't last very long. I felt pretty ( Read more... ) -
Allow myself no mock defence
I have the next five days off from school, which is the worst possible thing that could happen to me right now. I just don't have time to be taking extra long weekends. I figure that I'll use today to relax and the following four days will be spent doing home work. This is the first time I've been allowed to sleep in for three and a half weeks. It ( Read more... ) -

I got my haircut yesterday. It's really cute, I like it a lot. It's quite short, sort of bob-ish. It looks really nice with my hats.
We had a prayer meeting at church today. It was kind of fun. We had sort of a "seminar" on prayer at church last year. This year we just sat together and prayed. It was actually really nice. It sounds really boring ( Read more... )
