yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away

If you are like me and are graduating this year, you'll recognize today's magic word: internship.

THE UWO ELECTIONS

A funny thing happened today. I'm walking to class and there are two girls standing on either side of the pathway with blue papers in their hands.
Clearly they are handing out flyers to persuade people to vote for whoever they are supporting. Anyways, I look at those flyers and think, "Jeez thats stupid."
Both of the chicks see me looking at their papers and mistake my irritation for interest.
They approach me.

The closest one to me smiles and says, "mumble, mumble, vote for bla, mumble,"

In which I reply, "thats a waste of paper," and walk on.

As I am walking I realize that... I perhaps didn't phrase what I meant to say in the appropriate manner...

I didn't mean to say, "thats a waste of paper because your person is shit"

What I meant to say was, "people are obviously going to throw that little dumb flyer out and not even look at it, the whole idea is a complete waste of paper."

Hahaha woops.

The other day my dog decided to be an a-hole.
He snarled and tried to bite me for absolutely no reason.
I was pissed, so I got up to leave him... as I was walking away I could feel his eyes on me so I whipped around and gave him the finger.
Just as this happened, my dad walked by and saw me staring angrily at Ralphie with my middle finger extended.
He laughed.

I've hit a whole new kind of low.

family bonding

I'm sitting at the dining room table, my work is splayed out, all my THESIS good-ness is just dominating this space, and my father meanders by and sits down.

"I'm going to do some work here too."

"Cool."

He opens his laptop -I'm on mine and I've got some Aretha Franklin playing, because I'm just in an Aretha kinda mood.

In the middle of Dr. Feelgood and I hear some beats, some radio-esque sounding music.
I shrug, thinking it'll probably only last for a couple seconds, maybe my brothers cell phone is going off?...but it doesn't stop.
As Aretha is belting one out and this club music is hits its chorus, I look up at my dad,

"Is that your music?"

"Great jamming...our music"

[at this point I am laughing]

"WHAT IS THAT?"

"Monkey business by the Black Eyed Peas"

And so, despite my sister and I refusing to purchase this CD for him, he has bought it.. and it will not stop.

Perhaps I should buy him headphones...

'Hand wash cold' just means another shirt I will probably never clean.

So I left university to come home for the holidays and packed 4 different dresses, 4 pairs of jeans, probably about 8 different shirts, a bunch of cardigans and sweaters, all the makeup and jewelery in the world YET somehow managed to forget my jacket.


Also: my mom just told me to buy the CD, Black Eyed Beans for my dad....
