dream

super bizzare dream that i was on america’s next top model, in the final 2. at some points in the dream i was tyra and would give the models advice. in other parts i was one of the models. the final 2 didn’t do a runway show though, they did a sort of talent show type thing. i was the girl who was “in the lead” i guess, the front runner, and the other girl was sorta sucky and everyone thought there was no way she could win. then came the talent show, and me, as tyra, had told her that she wanted the girl to be edgy and do something really different for the final show. so the girl came back with purple hair, and tyra was like, purple hair does not make you edgy. then we’re at this final talent show thing, and the other girl went first, and it ended up being this big production with her acting in the drew carey show. and suddenly everyone was like oooo she may have taken the lead now, her show was so good. then came my show, where i was recreating the video to thriller LOL. i randomly recruited people from the audience to be zombies and without practicing we did our show.

never found out who the winner was.

news of the day – i am taller than i thought and i weigh more. doctor today. i am almost 5’10” and i gained another 10 pounds – 131. hahahahah see i am not as skinny as everyone thinks i am. but taller! and the doctor asked if i was in a same sex relationship LOL. short hair does not equal gay!

ice storm

so yeah. the ice storm continued through monday, and when i left to work my driveway was delightfully icy. i was barely able to back out. i head to work – and as my txt entry said, i almost hit a telephone pole and a tree all in one skid. i was driving just fine, then suddenly the car is ice skating…toward the pole. crap. brakes and steering were absolutely useless. i don’t think i’ve ever slid that much before. somehow i get traction enough that i stop going toward the pole and start sliding into the opposite side of the road, toward a tree. and throughout this whole thing, not a moment of panic. just reacted. and i did honestly think “i can’t crash my car or i won’t have money for europe” haha. then the tires took hold and i continued to work. i was half hoping to end up in a ditch so i wouldn’t have to go in haha. it was very slow, but oddly it went pretty quickly.

after i got out i thought, i have to go shoot in this weather. so i drove home, took my drugs, got the camera and drove back toward work – there was a really pretty tree on the property next to our parking lot, and there was a frozen flag down the street. have you ever shot a frozen flag in the freezing cold? it sucks. so it doesn’t flap around in the wind, but it still moves arg. stupid flag. maybe i got some interesting shots. anyway. the flag was really odd, as it moved in the wind and hit the pole, it sounded like a sheet of metal! very cool. spent about an hour down the falls way before coming home.i think the theme of the shoot is “couldn’t quite get the picture right” haha. and it wasn’t the best idea to start fooling with options like ISO and white balance when it’s freezing out.

i sure am glad that i turned the heat on as i do when i get home from work, before i went back out shooting. because as i was washing my face the power went out. fabulous. well at least it’s 71 in here and not 60 (yet), because who knows how long it’ll be out for. unfortunately that means no fan on, which means no white noise to drown out the screaming in my ears and the cars going by. it’ll be interesting sleeping.

apparently my parents lost power some time last night or earlier today. this power outtage made my dad finally buy a generator.

ice storm schmice storm. so my car was coated in 1/8″ of ice, the roads were fine, and i got home in one piece.

i’ve decided that i absolutely can’t stand bon jovi. sorry adr2, i know they’re your favourite band. at first i thought it was just a few songs i couldn’t stand, especially “living in sin” but no, i can’t stand any of them haha. and i seriously want to kill myself to the song “carrie” by some hair band…whitesnake? or winger? i think it was winger. dear god that is such a terrible song. horrible vocals and melody and just UG rip my ears off.

that is all.

THANK YOU FOR THE GLOOMY BEAR you know who you are 🙂

phil remembered his camera yesterday. boo on losing. esp to toronto. but that’s ok. after the game, went to work for the party. my casino friends have stupid fun haha. i walked out on my own this time. we headed to fallsview cuz people had gotten rooms to party. fantastic view had it been daylight, super small room considering it was supposedly a suite. got home around 5:30. got my hair cut today. supposed to go back to marys to finish her DSL install but i think i may not. it took me 3 hours to get it to work, a half an hour on the phone with support in india, only to get disconnected and have the internet suddenly work. so that was good at least. things are never easy for me. anyway. i have to transfer her netscape connect dialup stuff, address book and all that, to verizon for her.

i sleep alot so nothing exciting goes on in my life. tues afternoon adr2 came over to watch closure. we are going to be totally ridiculous when the dvd comes out. i wouldn’t want to be there watching us act like retards hahaha. anyway. the “closer” video shoot documentary was pretty interesting i thought. alot of behind the scenes stuff from the filming and commentary from mark romanek about how he came up with the concept and all that. very cool.

work has been mega boring. and one of the players, that typically i should hate for being obnoxious, but i don’t…got banned. that’s sorta sad. he was entertaining. ah well.

the simpsons at 7 today was the Mr Sparkle episode. and i love how freaked out homer is…”but why is he me?” hahaha so fab. and the episode on now (11) is making fun of lake wobigone not being funny. hahahahahha

i should be doing europe research and finding hotels and making plans and travel reservations, but i’m playing slingo quest and watching the buffalo/chicago game. i hope david had a good time at the game tonight, tho it’s been pretty non exciting, and buffalo hasn’t done much to show how awesome they are. 🙂 except for miller and max and his goal and then foiled breakaway. i told him he had to find dippin dots, that they were like spinach for the sabres haha. don’t know if he found any, but we did get a 2nd goal.

somewhere along the line, people at work think i’m some sort of computer whiz. probably mary saying stuff about me fixing her comp (installing office haha). another girl at work bought her son an ipod for xmas and had asked if i’d go to their house to show them how to use it. that turned into her giving me the ipod on monday to just load the songs from my house. and that process gave me one more reason to hate all things apple. i will never ever buy an ipod simply because i do not ever want to use itunes again. completely retarded. and now that i’ve loaded stuff on it from here, they won’t be able to from home without erasing it all. RETARDED! now i’ve been “hired” by mary to go over her place tomorrow to get her DSL working. that’ll be fun. at least they don’t have a router, cuz i screwed mine all up when i tried to use it. and at least she pays me in cake haha.

aside from that tomorrow brings sabres vs toronto, and the company holiday party. this year it’s someone else’s turn to be taken to the ER from the party.

and oh yeah, it snowed finally. first snow since october

dream

weirdo dreams.

i was at blockbuster looking to rent a movie to watch while i was doing something, forget what. ang was there, and the place then turned into a restaurant and we were in line to get food. i sat down with someone else we were with, and she sat with someone on the other side of the place. then music started playing and i look up and it’s peaches doing a show in this restaurant. so i go get ang and i’m like, you have to come on the other side with us cuz peaches is there performing. so she came over, and we rocked out with peaches. then that turned into me going home to look for my guitar, cuz apparently i had caught a guitar at some show too. so i’m in my parents basement looking and i find one, but it’s not my guitar, it’s my dads. so i ask my mom where it is and she pulls out this big super metal metallica looking black bass guitar. she had bought it for me at a garage sale. so i’m looking at it and on the back of it is this real familiar logo…the nintendo logo. and i’m like woah i didn’t know that the original NES had a game that came with a guitar controller. so i wanted to try it out but my mom insisted that it was broken. she was just lying cuz she didn’t want me to play it. it came preloaded with all this 80s music, like bowie’s lets dance album. then it turned into something about white water rafting or some water park or something.
