here's what happened. In my attempt to help jessica out with her blog template, I replaced MY template to make sure it functioned properly before handing the script over to her.. good thing I didn't, because it totally fudged up everything!
luckily I went searching through my archives of old websites and websites people have asked me to help them with in the past (yes I keep a lot of them.. never know when they'll be handy!) in a file marked "JessBlog.txt", I found MY outline.... tres weird, but nevertheless, I'm back and blogging with style!
work has been HELLA TIRING... and it's only going to get worse.. they're almost at the point where I'm gonna have to start going the length of the construction site (4.2 kilometers) to get the trucks tickets... maybe I should look into buying that ATV 4-wheeler I saw "for sale" out the end of some guy's driveway.. that would be SOOOO cool...
Another thing I'm looking to buy is a CB radio... (2-way radio).. lookin' for one cheap! anyone have one? lol
ANOTHER thing I'm looking for is a digital camera. The one that sticks out in my mind is the Canon S230/330.. the 330 is a hundred bucks cheaper than the 230, and the only difference is that the 230 is a 3.0 megapixel and the 330 is a 2.0 megapixel... (basically telling you the max size of the pictures that you can take.. the 3.0 obviously being able to take larger pictures.)
but the 330 can take pictures that can be printed out on 8.5"/11" paper fairly clearly! that's way large enough for me!
I wouldn't be printing them anyway, so who cares? it'd just be to take pictures for my website.
Last Saturday.. OYE last Saturday.... dont want to write it all out again, so I'll just copy and paste from an msn convo :p
I got up at 6am... got to work... worked 'till 1ish, then went home.. I was supposed to go out with julia that nite.. she tells me erin called her, and suggests to me that she (erin) comes along.. I said sure!
so anyway, I snooze for a bit, get up, get showered, dressed (in cold wet clothes cuz they didn't dry in time) then head out to wash the car and be on my way to pick julia up.. I'm washing the car at one of those coin-op washes.. u know, the ones you've got to do yourself? anyway, I'm washing along, and somehow the water coming out of the pressure washer hit a funky spot in the car and it sprayed back all over me.. mud.. water.. everything!!! I had to go home, get some more clothes, and start back out again... Julia called me and I explained I'd be a little late. She laughed... (thanks! =P)
driving down the 401, traffic gets REALLY slow... I'm like "what the hell?! it's a saturday evening.. it should be slow, but not like this" so anyway, I'm driving for a bit, and I look ahead, and there's fire.. like.. BIG fire.. there's a trailer that's on fire. the fire got so huge, I guess something inside was not-so-fire-friendly, so the entire thing exploded! blowing the sides of the trailer out and sending stuff flying in the air. I could go on about the fire, but to save my poor fingers I wont.. I got by the fire and traffic picked up.. I get to the DVP (the highway running north/south I usually take to get to her place..) CLOSED...
so I continue to warden, the next exit... but miss the friggin' exit so I continue ON to the next one.... anyway, I pick her up and I was about 40 mins later than our original meet time.. but that's ok, she expected me to be late cuz I called.. anyway, we're driving along... by this time the trailer fire is out, but
traffic is still slow.. we're supposed to meet erin NOW.. but we're still 20 mins away.. I try calling, "not available", or so the nice recorded message told me.. julia suggested sending a text message, but I didn't cuz it wouldn't help anything if her phone is off.. we're driving along, and I look over my right shoulder to
see if it was ok to change lanes... I hear julia SHREAK "OH MY GOD!" I look back and a huge friggin' truck is pulling into my lane... right next to me!
I have to brake and swerve to avoid getting munched... anyway, he nearly ended up clipping the front of my car, but didn't... *sigh of relief here*
we get to courtney park where we're supposed to meet erin.. she's talking with some friends she ran into there.. she's like "where the hell were you?!" I told her the story, I said I tried to call but her phone was off.. she said it was on, but didn't have any money (it's prepaid) left on it, but could still get txt messages.. I then got the "I told you so" speech from julia..
we golfed.. I won (sry guys, cant beat a master..) ohhhh it was beautiful. they should have given me a green jacket... anyway, afterwards, we sat around... erin went home, I took julia home, but first we stopped off at Tim Hortons, and talked for a bit.. (and might I say.. there are a lot of cops that go through the drive thru at midnight..)
it was a great night! thanks girls. :)
I actually got a chance to talk to Chrissy the other night on msn.. it was good to talk to her again. She caught me up on all of the drama people from The Wood that I haven't talked to for a while... I also learned that Chrissy is going to Humber in september, however, to the south campus.. that's really too bad, but I'm sure we'll run into eachother at some point.. I'll make sure of it! (and lunch is on me too!)
oh yea, anyone who wants to spend some time on Temptation Kyland, I'll buy you food! it's my bribe to you... if u dont wanna do it for me, do it for the food!
anyway - going to watch tv for a half hour.. I'll be on msn.. talk to me - I'm bored!
Until next time.......
