I got my car yesterday, and the only way to describe it is: 
Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures to show as it started to snow after I picked up the car. *sighs* It's fucking spring and it's still fucking snowing! I guess that's Calgary for you.
Wow, in typing that one paragraph, my wireless internet disconnected and re-connected three times. Three times! Sometimes, I...

There are a few simple pleasures in life that I enjoy. One of them happens to be on my days off where I can wear any other pair of shoes I want. See, I have to wear steel toed shoes to work as it's Home Depot policy and since I work four-to-five days a week, I spend most of my week wearing my steel toed...

Aww thanks - I never heard from the recipient so I hope she liked it,
If I could triplicate myself and grow instant beard I'd stand by the roadside and do the ZZ Top thing as you flew by

My plans to get a set of wheels has fallen through. I'm so jealous.
I am so very tired- this is my second night in a row closing at work. Now, even though I'm tired, my mind is still going and I end up staying awake until 3:00 in the morning. *sighs*
My boy won't be coming over tomorrow as he has to work at 3:00, but when I talk to him in the morning I'm going to ask...

I got a comment on my last entry that kind of ticks me off, and I just want to set the record straight here:
When I post something that makes me happy, be happy for me. While some people gave me a heads up about something to happen, there was a quick appology if it offended me, which it didn't and I thanked that person...

Well don't worry and let it ride - I get this all the time in the office because I like Mac computers (not the makeup!) I get playground arguments about how PCs are better etc. It's my money, it's my choice. I don't ahve to conform to the expectations of them at home.
Anyway here a good reason set for a Ford is that they'ew reliable, well-priced and most garages can cope with them for a problem or a service. Also the insurance is in a much lower price bracket so that's why you see a lot of 'em here.

little present?
your dad is awesome!
that to me shows a lot of support from his part.
he is really awesome. There aren't that many awesome dads around, so treasure him.
what color is the car going to be?
take care, and i am happy for you.

OK, here's an interesting little tidbit of me:
Everytime I watch "Ghost", I almost always cry at the end. I've seen it so many times (it's one of my favourite movies) and my eyes always well up in tears.
And, I'm going to be getting a 2005 Ford Focus in the next few weeks! I'll try and get a picture of what its going to...

I cry at the beginning and leave the room I'm sure your boi is putty in your capable hands
I have a KA and Focus are good too. They're from the same family of cars so you can look down the road and say
"Hey there goes a bunch of Mother Focus"

Well, I've come down with a lovely cold that my dad brough back from London 
It hurts to swallow, my ears hurt, I've got a massive headache- someone amputate me at the neck.
I discovered something interesting yesterday- if I drive home from work at 11:00 at night (so, I don't have to wait through any red lights or heavy traffic), I can listed to...

Ever get the feeling that you need to update your journal, but you don't know what to write? I'm feeling like that right now. I thought about posting some random facts about myself, but then I realized that nothing seems that random about my life. Maybe I'll do that later.
I worked from 6-4 today, so I'm very tired. I don't think that is helping...

bummer. my favorite cousin goes to UBC and I live near SF, so I don't get to see her much. last year was the first one where she was at school and it was terrible at Thanksgiving (ours is in Nov, not Oct.) because she didn't have the time off of school. This year, her parents went up to see her. Next year, she's coming home no matter what. 
I miss her terribly - she's almost like a little sister to me.

Well, the plan for the last full day in London was to do some hard core shopping; since my sister had already been in London once already, she didn't see the point in spending her money on touristy things (like...

I rather I didn't have to fake it.

Sounds like a great trip.
You look after yourself.
didn't know that you can't get food like foie gras in Calgary-you can in Toronto, not everywhere but a few spots near me. I will shut up before I sound like a prig or something, you know what some people accuse Torontonians of.
But to repeat again, really ,you look after yourself. Hang out with your friends etc...

Alright, time for the last two days of my journey to London. If you missed them, go back a few entries. I'll be posting that reminder I think in my next few entries, mostly because I am a show off (I can't help it!), but everyone wanted to be able to read my experiences. Don't forget to look at the pictures!

Thanks for the update - I've flown over Windosr castle very low but never visited it, suspect it's more impressive from the air. Charlie can't get married there because they'd have to license it for marriage and then the common people would be able to get hitched there too so they've changed the venue. I know my place
Although it may seem like it you have not f*d yourself over for a lifetime. I dropped right out of college with similar stuff and though that was the end of it but I got back and got through and there was sunshine on the other side. It's a bit Nietsche but once you know what the tough stuff is like then it does make you more durable even little ol' fragile me.
So have a *hug* and have faith in what I say 'cos you're not the only one who's lived it, you're not on your own, ok?

Does your dad have trouble driving on the wrong side of the road?
I hope you feel better.

Alright, second installment of my trip to London now that I've had time to sit down and write about it. If you didn't read the first few days, go back one entry.

Apparently I can get in cheap to Tussauds but was always put off by the queueueueueueueueues
I have been to the Dominion though :-
1) Star Wars in 70mm and quadrophonic dolby
2) The musical Notre Dame de Paris
3) something else with the in-laws but the experience of being with them does tend to obliterate the entire event...
Yeah and I've done the cab thing too trying to get the i-laws into one after asking them politely to stay as a group they diperse in polar opposite directions making it infinitely more difficult.
Anyway you got good value for money it seems. Covent Garden is good but now lost some of its charm as rent hikes have removed some of the more interesting places like the Cabaret Mechanical Theatre (who've gone to Southend). Street enertainment there is excellent though.

I had a crappy day at work today, but really enjoy the job otherwise. You always get the bad ones no matter what.
Pictures of the the shiny car, please. I don't think you've even told us what colour it is yet....
Lock it up well *looks bitter as regards stolen bike which was locked up anyway*
