RIP sexy jeans :(

Hello new favourite sweater! 

I think there's something to that whole reincarnation thing. I also found earrings that match my new necklace!

So. The universe seems to be against me vis-a-vis new computer. Jo was going to drive me down town, but then car issues forced me to take the bus. I get downtown, the store is closed so I go to North Hill mall, where Mr. Accent "helped" me, by which I actually mean read the specs off of the card thing sitting beside the computer in the display. Despite this I decided to get the computer, except then it was out of stock and he said I could have the one in the display case. Um... no. If I'm paying for a brand new, out of the box computer I want a brand new, out of the box computer. I left, went home, had a nap, then went online to see what I could find. I found a computer that looks good, but it's out of stock at the online store-- but not in an actual store. But I don't have the energy to go skipping out to another mall, which will probably be closed anyway (happy Canada day, everyone).

There is nothing in the world that can piss me off as quickly and easily as a computer. Not even my brother (though he's a close second).

Roger's is also stupid. They sent me a letter saying that they are raising the pay as you go rate from 33 cents/minute to 40, and suggested that I switch to another plan. I think I may switch phone companies altogether >:( anyway, during my great computer trek I stopped at a Roger's store to ask them about the different pay-as-you-go plans that are available, and the lacky just stared at me blankly and said "I have no idea what you're talking about. We don't do pay-as-you-go here." I looked at him for a second, then said "Great. That was really helpful." and stormed out of the store.

Now I have to have a family dinner. I would rather hide in my room and sleep.

So. I was trying to plan which courses to take next year and they're hardly offering anything that I want/need to take OMGWTFBBQ!!!11!11! So I'm just going to keep telling myself they haven't finished updating the new calendar yet so I don't freak out. Is it too much to ask to want to finish a BA in four years? I didn't think so.

Buuuuut, on the bright side, I slept over at Janine's last night, but roomie was there >:(. Still good, though. We started sketching out the routine we're gonna do for Fake Moustache, then today we went shopping and Janine got a suit and shoes. We are gonna be SO FREAKING FABULOUS. So you'd all better come and cheer us on! We're not actually telling anyone at swing about it, because they wouldn't be very impressed with our dancing. People who don't dance, on the other hand, will probably think we're totally made of awesome. And I get to pull on Janine's tie! Yay! I just wish I could dance in high heels, then it would be perfect. But Janine says I'm not allowed to break my ankle, so I probably won't.

In other news: OMG finals! I should be studying, but I got distracted looking at courses for next year. Then again, if I don't pass my finals there will be no next year, so I should really get on that studying thing.

Also: my nail polish is fantastic.

And Love Stop still hasn't called me back.

Oh, and my mom is leaving to go to Manitoba tomorrow and isn't gonna be back for a week. But no parties! I have too much studying to do :(

Things I got today:
- a wig
- a crop
- a pirate hat
- a vest
- leggings
- a black and purple rose
Today was fun. Janine and I lazed around last night and this morning, gothed up and went to Value Village. Janine got these huge wings and wore them all day and while we were in the toy store squealing over the new knights they had on display this guy comes over and was like "OMG you're wings are so fabulous! My friend is a designer, let me go get him" and then the guy's "friend" came over and they both squealed over Janine's wings and then they went away. It was awesome.
But I haven't done the goth thing in so long, I'd forgotten how much fun it is. And Janine makes the most adorable goth :D
Awesome, awesome day. I didn't find the boots that I wanted, but that's ok. I didn't really expect to and it was still so much fun. I'm really loving the not working on Sundays. And I'm looking forward to not working on Saturdays as well- it's only a couple more weeks. Anyway, I should go do something productive (ie: reading) although I'll actually end up lazing around and possibly writing hot lesbian fanfic. 
Either way, I'm gonna get going now.

Probably because I don't really have time between classes to mess around on the internet and most of my classrooms get crappy reception. Ah, well, nothing happens anyway. Sorta. At the GRST meet & greet Sade, Carolyn and I hung out, ate free food, drank free alcohol then talked to our Latin prof who also seems to have partaken in the free alcohol. It was fun. And on Tuesday morning/early afternoon we're going fabric and yarn shopping. Because Sade and Carolyn gave me sad puppy eyes and begged me to knit them stuff. Thankfully Carolyn will be happy with a normal person scarf (read: 3 feet long and six inches wide) vs. a Caroline scarf (a foot wide and 10+ feet long) so really if my tendonitis doesn't kick my ass I should be able to finish everything in a couple weeks, then get back to my (super sexy) slytherin over-the-knee socks. Bwaha.
And we have no brown paper for me to cover my text books with. Sigh. So I'll have to steal some for work otherwise I'll get in trouble for reading my very modern looking text books at a historical park. Oh yeah, I should check buses. Joy. The only free time I get this weekend is Sunday afternoon. Which I plan on spending watching the Laberynth and possibly snuggling with Janine, if I can get a hold of her and invite her over.
Anyway. Buses. Yes.
Carolyn and Sade! My house, Tuesday 10:30 sharp!

So apparently B & D doesn't make custom boots anymore. ARG! I have been waiting for YEARS to have a pair of boots made and now I think I can actually afford it, but there's no one to make them for me! The shoe repair guy told me to try calling some other guy so I may not be completely hopeless, but still. It throws a serious wrench into my plan. And FYI the Cat's Pajamas is a total old lady store. I walked in and it was ugly perm city, and the salespeople didn't even say hello to me, let alone offer to help me. So don't shop there. They suck.
And the stupid University won't let me register for English 366 EVEN THOUGH I have an email sitting in my inbox saying that I was accepted into the course.
Bah. I think I'm gonna go find a chick flick to watch and knit socks.

So, my dad and I went fabric shopping which was pretty good. I just hope the dress turns out well. $50 is dirt cheap for a nice dress (if it turns out nice) but it's a lot of money to waste if by the time I get the thing put together it doesn't fit or it isn't nice or something. So fingers crossed I'll see a return on my investment.
Anyway, then we went to the mall to go get supper and we were on our way out of the parking lot when the engine just up and died. We had no idea what was wrong so my dad called a tow- truck and we sat around for about an hour and a half waiting for it. My dad was pretty pissed off because he can't really afford to fix the car, but he's planning to go on his annual road trip to Ontario in a couple weeks. So I pumped OMWF and sang (badly) along to all the songs while people walking by outside pretended not to listen.
But it wasn't too bad, because I got back to my aunt's in time to catch CNTM yay! Brandi got kicked off, and she claimed if she did then she would give the judges a piece of her mind. But then all she said was 'I think you guys made a mistake' then went running off in tears. But what the hell is up with Alanna? Why is she still on the show? I'm actually afraid she's gonna win. I'm personally rooting for Sisi, and Andrea... well, we just decided that she looks like an alien. Although she actually has pretty much the same build as me, my hair's just longer. Sometimes I wonder what people see when they look at me. Maybe I look like a two-dimensional alien too, but to me I just look like me. So there.
And Janine's out driving with her dad so she wasn't there when I called ;_; hopefully she'll call me when she gets in.

I've decided I should learn how to ride a unicycle. The way I see it there is really no downside to being able to ride a unicycle. It's faster than walking, and you can take it on the bus. They look like they're a reasonably efficient use of energy, you can take it with you wherever you go. It fits in a car. You can ride it on dirt paths, unlike roller blades/skates, skateboards and scooters. Plus if I'm ever out of work I can ride around on it and ask for change. No downside. Plus my butt has good balance (if that makes sense) so it probably wouldn't be *that* hard to learn. Plus I think you can get training wheels and stuff. So, now I have to find out where one can buy a unicycle and how expensive that would be.
Speaking of buying things I also want to get an mp3 player (what does mp3 stand for, anyway?). And I need to get some clips and stuff to hold my hair back for work.

Because I feel like it, here's a list of cool places to shop in Calgary. It's mostly clothes/accessories, and won't be very useful to most of you, but we'll see.

- Prarie Dog Dig
- The Witchery
- Indah
- What's in Store
- Under the Bridge
- Barbie Shop (sells clothes and fetish stuff, not dolls)
- The Penjulum (which I probably spelt wrong)
- Manana (my neighbour owns that)
- And last but not least: Value Village. If you have the patience to wade through crap for hours sometimes you can find really cool stuff for rediculously low prices.

Oh, and darling f'list, do any of you have a copy of Rasputin by Boney M that you'd be willing to share? I can give you a song in return, or write a Mary-Sue featuring you and your favorite character, or wear a sign saying you are the bestest person ever. Whatever you like, you just let me know. The library copy has thirty eight holds on it, if you can believe it. So I need to find some other way to get it.
