I have been thinking (which is always a dangerous thing for me to do) this last week or so, wondering about why I hardly ever  post anything real on my lj (mostly just memes).
I have come to the conclusions that 
1. I am extremely lazy and don't want to think of anything to write.
2. I am terribly shy and can only let people see me superficially 
     through meme glasses.
3. I am so paranoid of rejection that I can't even think of the 
     possibility of some faceless/nameless people out in the 
     cyberverse reading my lj and either tearing it apart or heaven 
     forbid not comment at all (like I don't exist).  =P


I have (strangely for me) decided to radically change some things in my life. It may be because I am so desperately trying to figure out how to move back to the coast of British Columbia here in Canada. 
I am at the moment, in Victoria, BC. on  "vacation", looking at housing possibilities and job opportunities, wondering if we would move any of our stuff  out or just sell it all and get second hand here. 
I feel so much better here than where I live in Alberta, and no it is not just because this is a Vacation, I do everything here that I do at home when it comes to cooking and cleaning etc. 
I guess I really don't have the words for it. It might be that I have family here, it might be because of the weather, the ocean air, the beautiful surroundings, oh I have missed it all so much.

Lol I got  sidetracked, where was I ? Oh yeah, radical changes.

I have decided that I have been letting life pass me by while I sit on my fat ass couch.
So I am making a list of things that I have always wanted to do and one way or another I am going to do them.

The All Important List

1.   Start belly dance classes again.
2.   Learn to foxtrot, tango, two-step,samba,salsa.....well just dance in 
      general.
3.   Learn at least one other language (not just the swear words)
4.   Take a photography course.
5.   Take a weekend painting class
6.   Take art appreciation classes (although I can appreciate it on my 
       own, I sound like an idiot trying to talk about it)
7.   Learn to read music, and play an instrument. 
8.   Take a writing course and finish my ten plus (yes,really) stories.
9.   Start appreciating myself, instead of criticizing all the time.
10. Be more out going, and a little less shy.
11. Post on my lj more.

It's a start anyway.

F*CK VIACOM....oh and happy 4th of July!

I know this was kinda posted before but I thought it would be cute for Maetgnisar's birthday.

(I hope you don't mind Catsplay)

Lifted from protowilson and miggster.

What type of person do you attract? Your Result: You attract models! Congrats, something about you makes those model-quality people flock to you. This is good for obvious reasons - they look great, just having them nearby attracts other models, and it opens doors for you - like exclusive clubs and whatnot. If you are seeking pure physical beauty, you are all set. If you are seeking someone that is not cynical and slightly bitter about humans in general, someone focused on the human condition and intellect, then you are out of luck - but who cares, you attract models!
You attract artsy people!
You attract unstable people!
You attract Yuppies!
You attract geeks!
You attract rednecks!
What type of person do you attract? Quizzes for MySpace

Attracting a type that I am not at all interested in.
If this wasn't so funny I think I would throw up. lol

********************************************

1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess. (That means you guys.)
4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed in the comments. 

Okay, everyone ~ start guessing!  I give you the quotes - you give me the movies.  Be sure to reference the quote number with each guess.

*********************************************

1.  One Night with the King 
     Where are you from?
     I am... of the wind. Like the wind, blowing where I may please, and 
     gathering where I choose.
     Well, we gather in an hour. Try not to blow away before then. 

2. Lawrence of Arabia 
    It's my manner, sir.
    Your manner?
    Yes. It looks insubordinate, but it isn't really.

(It was hard to choose one quote from the next movie, should make it easier to guess =p)

3. Phenomenon 
    Why do ya have to tear him down? What are ya so afraid of? What 
    have you got to lose? He wasn't selling anything! He didn't  want 
    anything from anybody! He wanted nothing from nobody! Nothing! 
    And you people have to tear him down so you can sleep better  
    tonight! So ya can prove that the world is flat and ya can sleep 
    better tonite! Am I right? Am I right?... I'm right... The Hell with all of 
    ya. The Hell with everyone of ya. 

   =======and=====

    Now, uh... he didn't say how long.
    Days, or weeks... they don't, they don't know.
    I'm so sorry, Lace. I know how you hate surprises.
    I tried so hard not to love you.
    How'd you make out?
    Terrible.
    [they chuckle]
    Hey, would you, uh, love me the rest of my life?
    No. I'm gonna love you for the rest of mine. 

4. Im no Angel 
    You were wonderful tonight.
    Yeah, I'm always wonderful at night.
    Tonight, you were especially good.
   Well... When I'm good, I'm very good. But, when I'm bad...  I'm better. 

5. The Breakfast Club 
    You have problems. 
    Oh, I have problems?
    You do everything everyone tells you to do and that is a problem.
    Okay, fine, but I didn't dump my purse out on the couch and invite
    everyone into my problems. 

6. Hotel Rwanda
    There will be no rescue, no intervention for us. We can only save 
     ourselves. Many of you know influential people abroad, you must 
    call these people. You must tell them what will happen to us... 
    say goodbye. But when you say goodbye, say it as if you are 
    reaching through the phone and holding their hand. Let them know
    that if they let go of that hand, you will die. 
    We must shame them into sending help. 

7. The King and I

      there's somethin', a bomb or somethin'. I'm leavin'. bzzzz

13.V for Vendetta 
     Who are you? 
     Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I 
     am is a man in a mask.
     Well I can see that.
     Of course you can. I'm not questioning your powers of observation 
     I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked  
     man who he is.

14.Hoodwinked 
     What kind of candles are those? 
      Dee-na-mee-tay. Must be Italian. 

15.The Seventh Sign 
     Will you die for him? WILL YOU DIE FOR HIM?
      Yes, I will......I will die for him.

There are times when I could strangle my DD's(Darling Daughter's) pretty little neck.
I wonder if she will ever start to think about things ahead of time before she actually does them.

Case in point......

Today she went over to her boyfriends' friends house. Where they spent the day hanging out and building a deck in the back yard.
They invited her to stay for dinner and then B's mom said she would drive my DD home after they finished with some deck related thing or other.
So far no problem.

At about 11:45pm, my DD (who has my cell phone) calls from outside our apartment building to say that her key to the outer door has broken in the door and she can't get in. I say ok I will be right there. 
I hop off the couch (where I am in my short nightgown that I just spilled something on and my messy hair and head out of our apartment door to let her in and am confronted by the sight of my DD and her boyfriend, and his friend, and his friends mom, and another friend. 
Unfortunately I didn't handle it as well as I could have. Instead of laughing it off and being gracious, I kinda freaked out.  I opened the door asked my DD why she hadn't told me that six other people were going to be at the door? (To which she replied " Well I tried to but you hung up on me too fast") And  I ran back to my apartment.

Have you ever heard the expression You never get a second chance to make a first impression?
I had never met my DD's boyfriends friend or his mom before, I can only imagine what a bitch they must think I am for freaking out like that.

Inside our apartment, I lost my head even further. I yelled at my DD. "Why didn't you call and tell me that other people where going to be there?" She yelled right back "I did..... blah, blah,blah" At which point I roared her full name at the top of my lungs" K........E........M...........M........., you should have called before you left their house to let me know that people were coming over here! You knew that I was in my pajamas  and that I was a mess!"

I started crying.... I was embarrassed, humiliated, and hurt.

A few minutes later I called B's mom, and left a message apologizing for my bad behavior, and thanked her for driving my DD home.
Another lost opportunity to find a friend.


I still have hurt feelers...... my DD has gone to bed and hasn't even thought to apologize for her part in embarrassing me.

Sometimes she drives me insane!!!!!!

 

My Daughter has never understood why I think Alan Rickman is so Handsome.
She makes fun of his wrinkles (I explain that they are smile lines)
She makes fun of the size of his nose (I tell her it is Regal)

( You are not going to want to miss this......Seriously! )

 ......but it is too funny not to share. 


One day I met a sweet gentleman and fell in love. When it became apparent that we would marry, I made the supreme sacrifice and gave up beans.
Some months later, on my birthday, my car broke down on the way home from work. Since I lived in the countryside I called my husband
and told him that I would be late because I had to walk home. On my way, I passed by a small diner and the odour of baked beans was more than I could stand. With miles to walk, I figured that I would walk off any ill effects by the time I reached home, so I stopped at the diner and before I knew it, I had consumed three large orders of baked beans.
All the way home, I made sure that I released all the gas.
Upon my arrival, my husband seemed excited to see me and exclaimed delightedly:"Darling I have a surprise for dinner tonight." He then blindfolded me and led me to my chair at the dinner table. I took a seat and just as he was about to remove my blindfold, the telephone rang. He made me promise not to touch the blindfold until he returned and went to answer the call.
The baked beans I had consumed were still affecting me and the pressure was becoming most unbearable, so while my husband was out of the room I seized the opportunity, shifted my weight to one leg and let one go.
It was not only loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer truck running over a skunk in front of a pulpwood mill. I took my napkin from my lap and fanned the air around me vigorously. Then, shifting to the other cheek, I ripped off three more. The stink was worse than cooked cabbage. Keeping my ears carefully tuned to the conversation in the other room, I went on like this for another few minutes. The pleasure was indescribable.
When eventually the telephone farewells signaled the end of my freedom,I quickly fanned the air a few more times with my napkin, placed it on my lap and folded my hands back on it feeling very relieved and pleased with myself.
My face must have been the picture of innocence when my husband returned, apologizing for taking so long. He asked me if I had peeked through the blindfold, and I assured him I had not.
At this point, he removed the blindfold, and twelve dinner guests seated around the table chorused: "Happy Birthday!"

I fainted!!!!! !!!!!!!!!


Special Thanks to   bowei=)

I am so crazy about this song right now!



And this one........
MIKA - Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)


nuff said!


Meme snitched from catsplay_katie

you are lavender #E6E6FA

Your dominant hue is blue, making you a good friend who people love and trust. You're good in social situations and want to fit in. Just be careful not to compromise who you are to make them happy. Your saturation level is very low - you have better things to do than jump headfirst into every little project. You make sure your actions are going to really accomplish something before you start because you hate wasting energy making everyone else think you're working. Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything.

Nobody ever tags me!  =(
So I force myself on you!  =P

Most of you have done this: List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying right now, shaping your spring. Post these instructions in your LJ along with your seven songs. then tag seven others to see what they're listening to.

(I think all of you have been tagged, no?)

1. Refuse to dance - Charlie Dore
    It makes me want to go out and take dance lessons.
   ( and other things *snicker*)

2. Dragostea din tea - O-zone
    The upbeat music makes me so happy. It's a great way to get a lift and
    for an extra boost when I'm feeling low I go to Youtube and watch
    the UBC boys play around to it. They are so cute and funny.

3. Looking for the Summer - Chris Rea
    A warm starry night, a convertible with the top down. A salty breeze
    from the ocean as you drive down the coast. Sigh........

4. Falling slowly - Glen Hansard/Marketa Irglova
    I don't know exactly why, it just seems to fit. It strikes a chord inside.

5. Stupid girls - Pink
    This was always my observation when I was growing up, but I was
    always too much my own person to fit in with everyone else. It was
    lonely, but I wasn't able to change to fit in.

6a Some Enchanted Evening - Rosemary Clooney
  b Sway with me - Dean Martin
     I definately need some romance in my life.

7. Stop - Sam Brown
    Doesn't need an explination.

and I need to listen to these two more.....

8a Just the way I am - Angel
  b It's My Life - Bon Jovi
     I do find them inspiring while I listen to them, but then real life
    comes along...

Like I said I think you all have been tagged already,yes?

Sneaked from others...

You Are Bare Feet

You are a true free spirit, and you can't be tied down. Even wearing shoes can be a little too constraining for you at times! You are very comfortable in your own skin. You are one of the most real people around. You don't have anything to hide. Open and accepting, you are willing to discuss or entertain almost any topic. You are a very tolerant person. You are accepting and not judgmental. You should live: Somewhere warm You should work: At your own business, where you can set the rules

Following everyone like a sheep.... sort of.

This entry placed by daughter of the deceased,she died laughing. LOL

No,I swear I just about passed out from not being able to breath while watching this.
My stomach feels like I have done 500 sit ups all at once.

My daughter's friend sent this to me on Facebook. She is soon to receive a strongly worded message on trying to kill her friends with laughter.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5jeOMkzXKA

Please comment and tell me..... did you die or cry?


PS. I just watched it again (by myself this time) it may have just been my kid and her infectious laughter that pushed me over the edge.

This will be my first post where I actually talk about myself instead of just doing a meme quiz.

I am very Happy.
I have scored a job that I have always wanted.

I am now a Mystery Shopper.


I get to choose what assignments I would like to do,and if I qualify for the assignment I go to the store,restaurant etc. and do what the assignment requires.
I get paid by the job and reimbursed approved expenses.
I can request as many jobs as I can handle, work whenever I want. Yay!
I can even work on vacation.(There are assignments to Mystery Shop Hotels)

I just completed my first job today.
I think I may have to start taking some of those brain boosting vitamins, you would not believe the amount of things you have to observe,remember then write up in the reports.

Other than that, I had fun and got to eat out on someone else's money.
What a job!!!!!!

*edit*
OMG!!!!!
I was just checking out the available assignments page.
I think I am going to die. (I wish I qualified for this one)
There is an assignment to Mystery shop Air Canada on a flight from my city to London's Heathrow airport! *Gak*

Directed by Tim Burton....*snort*....figures
He will probably have Helena Bonham Carter playing me....*sigh*
*gets crafty look in eyes* I wonder if it has a part for Alan?????
