Song of choice: The Only Thing That Looks Good on Me is You - Bryan Adams
For Roohi hahahaha =P
Oye.. thanks Jess, Roo, and others who have posted ideas here and to my email.
My writers block, however, is no longer blocked. I've been doing a lot of reading at work (yes, my job is just as boring as ever, but there is that one day every two weeks that just doesn't seem to be as boring as the rest when I wander over to nbc.ca (my banking website) and check my balance out... ahh the wonderment of money just appearing in one's bank account....)
Anyway, I've been reading everything from The Toronto Sun (I know I know.. news value sucks, but u wanna know something? I find the editorials, letters, and "Dear Abby" much more entertaining anyway), to philosophy, sociology, and humanities... And I definitely read something in my sociology book that warrants a response, however, I keep leaving it in my desk drawer at work.. I'll remember to bring it home. I think those who are just finishing highschool would be affected most, or those that are moving on to something else... more "grown up"...
My blogging has been slow lately mainly because my mind has been slow. Nothing has really happened to stimulate it (nothing I can comfortably write about anyway, without fear of being clobbered by someone else.. lol), and I hate that.
Oh I've got something... a couple things, actually.. geeze, jessica, for getting me started...... *shakes fist*
Last Saturday was a FANTASTIC evening/night. Here's the plan... friends of mine (Erin, Jessica, Chris, and Julia) were all gettin' together for dinner and a movie. Julia, for those of you who dont know, is a good friend of mine that I met through Erin. They both shared a french class at York last year. Anyway, they hadn't seen eachother since, what was it girls, april? anyway, I arranged for Julia to come out with us. But there's a catch.. a catch that Julia was very reluctant to go through with.. lol - Erin was clueless to Julia coming. Hell, I dont even think she knew that Julia and I talked all that much, let alone hung out together.
Anyway, even through Julia's reluctance, I went through with the surprise, and all went off without a hitch. She (J) admitted to me later that it was worth it, though.
Oh how I love surprises. rather, how I love to GIVE surprises.
Anyway, the night was great. We went to Boston Pizza for dinner, then went to see Legally Blonde 2..... *slaps self in the face* I know I know.. but I was out with 4 girls, 3 of which were "blonde"....
Yes I included Chris in my count of girls. Come on, dude... you actually used the words "screw" and "T3" in the same sentence (fragment)... you've lost all credibility with me. lol
Guys all around, I took one for the team for you this night. Remember me for it.
After that, I took Julia home, DIDN'T fall asleep on my way back to MY house this time (understand that she lives a good 30-40 minute highway drive from mississauga), and went to sleep.
1 order of horizontal line with more blogging on the side please?
Last night.. oye, what DIDN'T happen last night.
I get a call from Christa asking me if I was free.. I said yes..
ok, long story short, Erin and Chris were free too, and we decided to go for ice cream.
I get to the Parlour, FIRST!! BAAAAHAHAHAHA I BEAT U ALL THERE FOR ONCE! sit at a table for 4 (right next to a dude that I used to work with...) and whip out my phone to see where they are. Where are they? about 100 feet behind me stopped on the side of the road with their hazzards on and hood open.
I go out, find out they cant start the car. When he turns the key, the lights flicker....
*lightbulb*
the battery is dead, or at least doesn't have enough juice to start the engine.
I whip the car around and jump it. it starts successfully!!!!
....but dies about 30 seconds later...
a "doh" grin comes over my face because I know what's wrong, seeing as how the same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago.
I jump it again to be sure, it dies again...
the alternator is dusted..
what is the alternator? It's the little generator in the car that, when the engine is running, charges the battery. No battery charger? no battery charge. no battery charge? no battery.
so we parked the car, went in and had our icecream, walked down to the end of the pier, and back up to the cars where we jumped it one more time. It was decided that because I've driven in situations where the power steering and brakes flaked out... woohoo! I get to drive old 'n busted with erin, while chris drives new hotness with christa. (we both own Grand Prix's, but mine is a newer model, so I make fun of her for it.. which I shouldn't, considering hers is ACTUALLY hers. lol)
anyway, here I am, speeding down mississauga road... my philosophy is to keep my foot on the gas.. because as long as u have gas feeding the engine, and KEEP YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKES, you'll be fine and the batt wont die... (foot off the brakes because it keeps ur brake lights from turning ON.. which sucks juice from ur batt...)
oh god so many illegal things were pulled to get that car home... running red (solid red) lights... excessive speeding... stop signs? what are those?
highlighted by my need to make a left onto Glen Erin on a red light, so I screech around the corner to the right, then immediately do a U-Turn and go through..
as well as chris pulling, diagonally from the south-bound side of the road to the north-bound side through an intersection after a red light to meet us
where we died...
it was quite a night.. or as chris put it: "a bonding night" lol.. hardly, but whatever works :)
in the end, we jumped it 4 times to get it to her home.
so that has been my last couple days... everything between my last post and saturday? well.... I think I saw a flock of pigeons.... I wore my ring on my left thumb for an hour or so... threw out a pair of boxers... and did my laundry...
