Oh, and I can't find the driver disc for my camera. But I can still upload pictures!

I've been wanting to share these for over a month! I went to see Metric at the HMV store on Yonge in April. I waited in line for over 3 hours because if was a free event. It was totally worth it! They performed a few songs from their new album and afterward we had the opportunity to meet the band and get them to sign stuff ! But we were instructed by security that it could only be one thing and it had to be open and ready! I was so nervous to speak to them lol. I'd have to say that Metric is my favourite band right now, and I didn't know what to say! I think I told Josh "Great show!!!!" *big smile. Nothing to Jimmy or Joules, and to Emily "You guys were awesome! I love you guys!!!!! I want to see you in Detroit!!". Yeah.. I don't know.



I gave this cd to J to get signed.. he didn't open it!



This is what I had signed. They signed their own pictures! =)

Okay, it's time for bed. My work schedule is super crazy this weekend and upcoming week. Blerg.

I'm a big fat liar.

I know I said I would get batteries and blah blah blah. But I haven't. I'm THAT lazy. I want a new camera, one that doesn't lag and has.. awesome capabilities. I'm saving up.

Anyway,

I just woke up from a nap. I went to a work meeting today (like a boss!) and then shopped around. Didn't eat all day so got an insane craving for junk food. I snarfed down a McChicken.. sat around and then fell asleep.

What did I dream about?

SPARKLERS. You know, the things you put on birthday cakes... I was dreaming that someone would light them... and I tried to put them out in my mouth. Strange. I felt the burn.

I go on youtube, and oh look, Metric posted their new music video for "Sick Muse". What do they have in that video? SPARKLERS. What the hell. Am I now psychic? Apparently!

Here it is,





Did you watch? You should, cuz it's awesome.

So what did I buy? You're dying to know right? I bought a top and tights for $5 each! Then I went to MAC, it's my addiction. I didn't need a new lipgloss... but the zebra/leopard print packaging was too cute.

Yeah... that's it. I just woke up! Brain won't function.

I'll post more. I PLOMISE!

=)

I NEED BATTERIES!!!!

I also need to find my camera... so I can put the batteries in it. And I also need to find the disc that comes with my camera so I can actually start posting pictures. =)

Lots of things to do! Haha..

I can't wait to post pictures from the free Metric concert. It was awesome!

Next post, there will be pictures!!!

*sigh

Conversations with a 3 Year Old

I just got back from Toronto today. My mom wanted to help my sister with the new baby.

Ethan is on his March break so safe to say he was very bored and had a lot of interesting things to say. Here are some of our conversations.

Ethan: YeeYee (that's what he calls me) where is your shirt?
Me: I'm not wearing a shirt today. I'm wearing a dress.
Ethan: *confused look*
Me: Girls can wear skirts and dresses or pants.
Hanna: Hey Ethan, is YeeYee a female or male?
Ethan: Female!!!
Me: That's right Monkey!
Ethan: But where's your penis YeeYee?
Hanna: Females don't have penises Ethan!!

The next day I wore jeans and he said,
Ethan: YeeYee! You're a male! Males wear pants!
Me: No! Females can wear pants OR skirts.
Ethan: OH.

One afternoon Ethan decided that he wanted to help wash vegetables and got his shirt wet. I took him to his room to change. After five minutes of asking him to change his sweater he finally said,
Ethan: Okay, stop the complaining!
Me: I was not complaining! I was asking you to do something!
Ethan: Okay, okay.

*Sigh

IT'S ALIVE!

Fixed my laptop. Huzzah! Actually, I wasn't that crazy for internet.

So since the last post....

My sister had a baby boy, Daniel! He is so cute.
I am no longer working. I am still hired, just not scheduled. FUN.

That's it. Well I'm sort of thinking on the spot.

 So until next time.

New Addition

I just got off work. Not real work, but working at my parents restaurant. We took my mom to Toronto last week for an appointment and decided to come back on Wednesday afternoon. BUT at 3:30am on Wednesday morning... my sisters water broke!

At around 7pm Daniel Sly was born. He was a bit early (almost 6 and a half weeks) but he was already 6lbs and 3ozs! We got to see him the next day. He looks just like his big brother!

Anyway, my mom decided to stay, which meant we had to come back and work for her. Sitting in the restaurant all day waiting for people to come or the phone to ring is exhausting. I have no idea how she does it every day. And on Saturday (the day it was busy!) I must have called her at least 10 times to ask: How do I use the fax?, Where are the take-out books?, How do you make hot mustard?, Where are the take-out chopsticks?, If someone pays their bill with different methods, how do I input that?, How much does just a birdsnest cost??????. Clearly, I am not right for a job at a restaurant, although I spent most of my childhood in one.

It was an uneventful Valentines, working. Bah.

My other sister came to help too and I gave her something I picked up in Toronto... a Hello Kitty tote from MAC!! Of course I had to go Thursday morning to the MAC store and look at the collection. I couldn't help myself. I picked up two lipsticks, a bracelet and the compact mirror. I still want more! Maybe the pink nail polish, or the blush, or a lip gloss! Everything from that collection is too cute. I need to take/post pictures.

Maybe next post...

"You smell like fried food."

Holy sha-moly it's cold out there. I'm slowly regaining the feeling back in my feet. It's hard to tell because I'm so tired and my limbs already feel unattached. I tried to get to sleep at about 11 last night so that I could wake up at around 5:45 to get ready for work. I didn't get to sleep until about 2, and I snapped awake at 5.

I think I'm turning into my mother. She used to say (she still does sometimes) that she gets so worried about.. whatever that she can never sleep. I'm getting there, although it's only at night. During the day I can nap like nobody's business. But at night, I think, and think, and think... existentialism at its best, only at night. I have to work at the same time tomorrow. I hope I get a little more sleep tonight.

I got off work and decided to treat myself to Starbucks. Guess who I bumped into? Nella! But she was just on break and I had to run some errands. I went to get something done... and when I got there the girl said that she couldn't do it. I had to wait until 6 for the lady who.. did that. Damnit. Another thing I have to put off for another day. I'm being so vague because it's an anniversary present. =)

Then I went to the bank to pay a bill. As I hand my bill over to the teller, she says,

"You smell like fried food!"
"Huh? I haven't eaten yet and I've been working at Bargain Shop all morning."
"That's weird. Maybe it's (whispers) that guy."
"Maybe..."

She laughed, and I stealthly smelled the sleeve of my jacket and hair.
Nope. Not me.

Stuck in a Van With 11 Other People

I had work today. It was way past my personal boundary lines, so I went in the van. I have two shifts next week where I will be in the van. Little did I know that there were two teams going out of town. Did you know you can fit 12 people in a van? News to me! I also get car sick.. sometimes.. if I don't get shot gun... or if I read.. or don't look out the front.. or get distracted. Haha.. so I get car sick a lot. Without thinking I sat in the back, the very back. Wedged between two other people. Ugh. I was repeating *stare.. ahead.. don't think about being sick...*

What's the proper etiquette for sitting in a van full of strangers? Do you talk? Just stare blankly into space until you reach the destination? Sleep? Play car games? I just stared ahead (as ahead as I could.. since I had three rows of people in front of me) for an hour and mentally planned out the next month. I should have brought some paper with me.

Man... I need to find another job. Or win the lottery. The latter would be awesome.
