Month: January 2007

I practiced some turns today and made myself a little woozy. I’m not good at turns: the dizziness, anyway. I can do the turns ok, when I practice them.

I’ve had three songs annoyingly stuck in my head at different times through the course of the day. I woke up with “Tomorrow” from Annie. Then after watching some ads, I had a jingle from one of the hospital lottery ads. Then, at supper, my mum was singing “Tomorrow belongs to me” from Cabaret. None of them shut off when I tell them to, that’s for sure.

Nothing more, nothing less!!

Today’s Advice.

If you’re walking downstairs in the dark, look out for the trampoline.

I feel like drawing, with, like, actual paper and pen. Maybe pencil too. Something that will make my hands smudgy in the end. I’ve been solving all my problems with the mouse and keyboard lately. It’s so shiny and superficial, which is good for somethings, but not good for others. For example, getting smudgy hands.

I had smudgy hands at work after using a red pen. You know those fine tipped felty ones? Just regular writing pens, not “felts” just with a tiny felt tip. Anyway. I got smudges on my fingers and I thought I had numerous papercuts that didn’t hurt and the blood wouldn’t rub away. I like using the red, felty-tipped pen at work. I used a ruler to draw straight lines under words that needed attention. Most pleasing.

Later, I’ve decided, I shall have butterscotch ripple soy-based ice cream and applesause. In my imagination it tastes good.

I talked to the people at the National student loan place and they were all very nice. So far, anyway. Probably because I have yet to default on anything yet. I get to do some more paperwork so maybe I can get interest relief? That would be “OK” because then instead of paying for interest, I can just pay off the bulk of the thing, right? Talking about student loans is awfully boring. I won’t do it again.

(Today).

I’m going to have tofu and something for lunch, like, right now. Is there such thing as too much tofu?

“Tofu” is pronounced with the emphasis on the “To” not on the “Fu”. Where I live, anyway. In a book I read once there was a restaurant called “Tofu or not Tofu”. It took me a while to understand what it meant. I still have the book. Whenever I look at it I think of my friend Kelley who was in the same class where I read it. She liked it better than I.

There is something wrong with my left ear. It’s molting or something.

Yesterday was a total hard work day at work. Had to do stuff. Not the lamest of times but I’d rather do nothing, you know?

I have a song in my head:

Underpants!
Underpants!
Friendly neighbourhood underpants!

It’s sort of like another song.

I was totally bummed out the other day because I didn’t have any lavender printer paper! The little thing that make me happy can also make me sad. I’m over that now, even though it would be nice to have lavender printer paper.

I recently got addicted to YouTube. It was for, like, half an hour. It started because I wanted to watch Hugh Laurie’s acceptance speech at the Golden Globes and then spread to watching everything of Hugh Laurie I could find. Then I got bored of Hugh Laurie. He’s not actually very funny.*

*I lied there.

My dad likes to sing the theme song to “Robot Chicken”. It’s funny.

I will leave for work in a matter of minutes.

Thank goodness for product: I almost had to leave with frizzy fly-aways.

I bet you didn’t know it was italics day.

I enjoy how quickly work goes, even when I have little to do, which is when, things theoretically should seem to go slowly.

But no!

Today I scammed the dictionary someone left and said was free for the taking. I was there three days and it was still there so I took it. It has no cover and the pages are falling out; I will tear it to bits and make it into other things.

Less “Scammed” more “rescued” I guess. Lindsie: Book Rescue.

Totally not obsessed, and also well into Denialville.

I work 3-10 tonight. Weird work week. I work again on Tues. As long as I know when I have to be there it’s not a large problem.

I talked to Sarah on Thursday? I think. On the phone. Maybe it was Wednesday since I was at work on Thursday. Right. Because then I had to rush to get everything put away because she called while I was cleaning my room, to get ready for jazz, which is on Wednesday. We might be performing our jazz dance in the recital this year. I like that, but it’ll only go if we get enough people who want to. Front and center, that’s me.

I worked today from 8 to 3:30 on the dot.

Tomorrow I work from 3pm on the dot ’til later.

I found out this morning that I can look at all my teeth if I open my mouth real wide. Not all at the same time: only when I angle my head into four diffferent ways.

ps. My mum totally stole my last Megazode. Last time I indicate that I have a stash.

Oh Em Gee. I totally enjoy how Open Office opens saved documents with the cursor right at the spot I left it before closing last time. Maybe new Word does this too, I don’t know. Makes it so I don’t have to put “START AGAIN HERE” messages to myself in the middle of a half-edited story.

“THIS IS WHERE I GOT TO”

“BITCH! YO!”

“IF YOU’RE GOING TO WRITE AGAIN, MAYBE GO FROM THIS POINT…”

“NOTICE THE ALL CAPS MESSAGE TO YOURSELF”

I work today from 2 to 10. I am excited/nervous! because I haven’t been for a while.

It’s snowy out. I don’t get it.
