| RAGE HAS MOVED. Sorry I had to switch sites, because I wanted friends and family outside of xanga to be able to comment on my site, so I have changed it. I will, however, keep this one open so that I can still comment to those I know here. Please feel free to check out my new blog at www.theopenrage.blogspot.com Thanks everyone! Who knows, I may be back sooner than I think if this one doesn't work out.

| Well, I am still alive. Sorry about the absence, but this week has been pretty busy at work at work is the only time I can go on the internet - and it's obviously limited since my desk is in a rather open area. Ok, so I've been dreaming a lot lately - not like future goals and plans, but sleep dreaming. I had a dream about Keanu Reeves, whom I love! (btw everyone says D looks like Keanu!) so that was nice, but my dumb alarm clock interupted it - BOO! Then I had a dream that D and I were getting married, but we planed the wedding in a day, and it was really a spur of the moment decision and then I called it off as my best friend was trying to rush me to the church on time. So that was weird. And I'm sure there's been more but I can't remember them.
Yesterday I bought "The Last Samuri" previously viewed for $10!!!! V. excited! I love expanding my movie collection. And tonight D is coming over for dinner and I have ribs in the slow cooker so it should be a lovely evening. I was 2 hours late for work today because my car wouldn't start - it is minus 35 degrees celcius here, and no, I don't know what that is in farenheight. So yeah, the cold sucks, but what are you going to do, this is the Canadian Prairies! At least we're not dealing with any natural disasters like....Tsunamis or Mudslides YIKES.
I can't really think of anything interesting to say except that tomorrow is casual Friday and I am VERY excited! Today I wore a black skirt a black turtle-neck and black boots with black tights - daring! And Lisa said that some of the sales guys were giving me the up and down - hmmm... funny how when you wear a skirt..... They are all a lot older than me and I think our values don't exactly meet in the middle  If you know what I mean. But it doesn't matter because I am taken! FINALLY, I waited till I was 21 to EVER be able to say that.... OK enough gushing.
That is all I can think of.

| So I met with 3 girls last night that I have had VERY minimal contact since junior high, but we were all the best of friends in junior high. It was a lot of fun actually. I semi-expected it to be really akward and scary since we don't really know each other very well anymore, but it was interesting to see that we are still the same people, just a little less amplified than when we were 14. One of them is getting married, one is graduating from University this year, one is going into med school, and than there's me.... the slacker? I don't know. I felt a little less successful than most of them, but I am ok with myself, I know my goals and my experience, so it's fine. I know what I want to do, and if anything, it's motivating to see people succeed and know I can do the same.
I am bored at work today, it is a slow day for me, for some reason. Yesterday I was busy most of the day, it makes the day go a lot faster. I am not feeling myself today, and I know why.
I have begun reading "Bram Soker's 'Dracula'" and am thoroughly enjoying it so far. It's very creepy! I like the old school horror of it, because it doesn't just use violence and gore to scare you, it's main choice of scare tactic is through description, which terrifies on a completely different level. To have the sensation of "trapped uncertainty" presented in such a way is delightfully horrifying to the imagination. Although, you'd think by age 21, that I would be able to read a scary book and not dream about vampires, but no such luck. Ah well, it is worth it. Yay for the classics! | | |
| Boredom. My dilemma is that I was hungry early, so I ate my lunch, however I don't want that to be my lunch break, because I'd like to get out of the office for the hour of my lunch, normally this wouldn't be a problem because I would just work while I was eating and everyone would know that I was not actually ON my lunch break, but was just consuming said lunch. HOWEVER since I have been surfing the internet with nothing to do since about 9:00 AM this morning, it looks like I WAS on my lunch, when really I was just doing nothing because I have nothing to do. Are you cross-eyed yet? I am. Maybe I will be courageous and just take my hour anyway, it's nt like I'm being more productive if I stay, the phone has't rung in over an hour, so I think it should be fine. Depends if D comes for lunch today or not.
Well, I guess that concludes this oratorical masterpiece (I've just confirmed my title of Crazy-Word-Lady right Alyssa?)

| So I am back at work, it is not very fun - but at least it is not busy and the boss is gone. Nobody would miss me if I didn't come back this afternoon - which is SO tempting - but I WILL resist since I need the money. Oh well, only today and tomorrow and then a four day weekend. YAY!
So I received a comment on my last entry stating that I was a "Jewish, ***** sniffing Troglodyte" Well, I didn't know what a troglodyte was, so I looked it up and it means "resembling a cave dweller" but I didn't quite understand where this outburst came from. I read over my last entry and I don't think I said anything remotely offensive, and though I have a small portion of Jewish heritage in my background I am not, by any means, a practicing Jew, so I would just like to thank said comment-leaver for their interest and subtlely request that they put more explanaition behind their comments in the future. However since I have subsequently blocked them and thus revoked their commenting prvilidges, this will be marginally impossible.
In other news, two of my close friends got engaged over Christmas very exciting!! I guess that's the age and stage I'm at now, friends getting married and having babies (not always in that order ) It's an adventure!
Had a WONDERFUL Christmas trip, spent some time with my parents. It was much needed, and very hard to leave them behind. We just talk about things, doesn't matter what, we just do. It's great I LOVE it. I had a bit of a hard time readjusting to the fact that I am once again responsible for my own well being, and that the real world does not consist of home cooked meals, no rent, movies in the middle of the day, and being chauffered wherever I please. Bummer.
Ah well, it's good for me you say? Then so be it. Happy New Year Everyone. | | |
