pizzas, pastas, and fucking phone calls. [21 Nov 2008|08:16pm] deadgirly [ music | the rosebuds. ] holy shit, fucking busy night at work. im kinda like stressed the fuck out, but im gettin 'er done. this one yoga practising zen woman i used to work with before at an equally stressful job, she gave me some words of wisdom before.. they went as follows: "its only danishes, muffins and coffee Carly". haha, i like how that puts everything into perspective. its not real life, no ones life is at stake. Its just pizza, pastas, and phone calls. Its just that you want to do your best, and sometimes things get hectic, at any job, at any school etc. but when it all comes down to it, its really not life or death. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- anyways, Im doing ok. I have all multiple dates. i only really like one guy though. its weird. i get scared, but hes so chill. and blonde! haha naturally, silly. oh, i got my hair done today, i took colour inspiration from the bee eater. fuckin looks sweeet ! wish i could show you a picture, but my camera has been broken since hawaii. filming is almost done at the shop. i can't wait to see the rest of the episodes. yeehaw. hope all is well. ps. i dont really like christmas that much xo post comment

sooooo cold.....BRRRRRR!! [19 Nov 2008|11:53pm] weedfairy [ mood | COLD!! ] well, i got stood up tonight. and actually it didn't suck. i wasn't really in the mood for a date to begin with. he wanted to meet up at starbucks, and i really hate starbucks. i don't drink coffee or lattes or anything like that, and they have terrible tea and hot chocolate. i got there at 7pm, which was the agreed upon time. i spent about 30 minutes talking to tricia on the phone and then once i realized i was being stood up i started talking to the people around me and having fun. i talked to this older couple for almost two hours. about a whole variety of weird topics. then i went and hung out with meredith for an hour or so. now i'm home. i'm hungry as fuck too. i had a couple tablespoons of leftover hummus, a few broken pieces of flatbread and a cup of yogurt at lunch. that's all i've had all day. i don't know why. i've had time and opportunity to eat again, i just haven't. i haven't been in the mood. and even though i'm starving now, i don't want to eat because i'm getting ready to crawl in bed. i probably won't be hungry when i wake up. controlled malnutrition is like that. i'm going to orlando this weekend. i'll probably hang out with jon and kym on saturday and then spend sunday with tricia and the boys. it's nate's birthday on monday, so tricia thinks we should go drunk bowling. i'm down. jose sent me a text the other day telling me to go listen to his new playlist, and when i did i noticed the last five songs were bob marley. so i invited him to come see the wailers with me at the end of january. they'll be at house of blues, as usual. and this will make the fifth time i've seen them. tickets are cheap. we're excited :) i met chris's british, truck-driving step-dad yesterday. we watched total recall together and he told me that i sound "very posh" when i speak. i thought that was cute. i run across a lot of weird names with my job. today's gem: excellent seance. i shit you not. post comment

and this is a story about racism [17 Nov 2008|11:25pm] weedfairy [ mood | alert ] i told my brother about two weeks before my parents were going out of town that i was going to invite basil over for a night. i warned him ahead of time because my brother is a bit of a racist and i was aware that it might make him uncomfortable to have a giant black man in the house. i wanted to give him time to think about it, and time to talk about it so if he really felt that uncomfortable i could either change the plans or not invite basil at all. daniel seemed ok with things. we talked about it and i told him about basil, and that if he gave himself a chance to get to know him he might find that he had more in common with him than he does with any of my other friends, particularly from a professional perspective. he seemed willing to try. fast-forward to one week ago. i'm standing in the kitchen eating dinner with my parents and my dad gets very serious and he goes, 'i want to ask you something and i want you to be honest with me.' ooook..... 'you've asked me twice in the past few days when we're leaving and when we're coming back, and it's made me uncomfortable. i want to know if you're planning on having a party or any guests over while we're gone.' well, i certainly wasn't planning on having a party, and i said i would like to have a couple friends over but nothing outrageous. he said to me that this is his house, and it's not to be used for me to entertain my friends in. then he said that i make terrible decisions, he doesn't trust me, and he doesn't like my friends. this totally blind-sided me, and it was something that i didn't expect so i just kinda got really meek and quiet and felt like i was going to cry. that was pretty much the end of things until the next night. my dad left a day earlier than my mom. so tuesday afternoon before he leaves work, he starts quizzing daniel hardcore, assuming i was having a wild party and trying to get daniel to tell on me for it. daniel knew i wasn't going to have a party, so he told him repeatedly. but my dad wore him down and for some dumb reason he tells him instead that i am having someone over, and that he's black. so then my dad dropped his bombshell. he got me babysitters. he invited a young couple (younger than me) from their church to stay in our house while they were gone. they were going to make sure that i didn't do anything i wasn't supposed to do. my brother was PISSED. i know the couple and they are nice people, but daniel doesn't know them well, had never talked to them before, and was now going to have to share his house with them for a week. tuesday night he comes home and tells me about the babysitters, completely neglecting to fess up to ratting me out about basil coming. it's wednesday night. chris is over and napping in my bed. daniel knocks on the door and wants to share a bowl. so we're sitting there and he's ranting about how mad he is that our dad is paranoid and how he couldn't believe that they'd leave babysitters for me, all this mess. then it dawns on me to ask him a question. daniel, did you tell on me about basil? '.....yeah. but it just slipped out! i don't even know why i said it.' i wasn't mad at him. he was WAY more angry at himself because he knows it was his fault we had babysitters. i was just really, really disappointed. and i was devastated that my parents think so poorly of me. i went back in my room and started crying in front of chris. he told me that my parents were being dickheads and that i shouldn't care so much what a couple of dickheads think about me, even if they are my parents. they are wrong, so fuck em. it made me feel a whole lot better. later that night my mom comes in my room and is being really nice. she tells me about the couple coming to stay. no one had said a word to me about it until that point. i only knew because daniel told me. my mom tells me a story about how they are sharing their house with her parents and it would be nice for them to come and stay here. like having a vacation. all valid points. i didn't act surprised or disappointed. i was really nice, and the entire time i'm sitting there thinking to myself, 'i can't believe we're not going to talk about it.....' and we never did. so by thursday i had canceled with basil, which worked out anyway because he had to work. our babysitters were in place. my brother was mad. i was indifferent because technically nothing had interfered with my plans. i was just kind of shocked that my parents went so far as to get babysitters for me. it wouldn't be enough that my brother was there or that they warned me what might happen to me if i broke their rules. my dad was so paranoid that he got babysitters so he could enjoy his vacation without worrying that i was destroying, disrespecting, and defiling his house. what that tells me is that the weed he gets through me is too good, and it makes him too paranoid, and that i should stop helping him out. he thinks it always comes from my brother. not always, and not lately. i don't know what it's going to be like when they come home. my sister talked to my mom and apparently chewed her out. i'll be interested to see if they'll actually bring it up. on one hand i can understand their fears. i'm not racist, but there are certain people that make me uncomfortable and i wouldn't want them eating off my plates or sleeping in my beds, or soaking in my hot tub or fucking my daughter. my parents racist. a lot of people are. a LOT of people who surround me are. and while i find this completely unacceptable, at the same time i'm not willing to rage up at them over it. i'd rather gently prove to them that they are wrong, that skin color is arbitrary, and that it isn't fair to judge an entire group of people based on fears you have......and how in the fuck can you still have them when we grew up sandwiched between two extremely nice black families?? i can almost hear them if we get to arguing. it's not just because he's black, it's because we've never met him and we don't want people in our house we've never met. your argument is invalid, and here is why: you've never met travis, or jeremy, or shawn, or any of the other guys i ever had over in the middle of the night and you've never had a problem with me inviting any of them over. but they must be ok because they're all white. i really am surrounded by racists. at home and at work. and it irritates me because skin color is such a huge thing for them and it's completely irrelevant to me. i don't have a black-guy fetish. i've always liked basil just because he is who he is. that he's a giant black man only becomes an issue when he's making fun of himself for being intimidating. like when he says he tries not to smile big at people because it looks like he's baring his teeth :) he in particular i would take if he were maimed in a horrible car accident or lost his face in a fire. it doesn't matter to me because i've always been in love with him. and it's not like he's the only non-white person who has ever been in my life. i loved (and was greatly cared for by) an entire village of black people when i lived in tobago. my best friend through junior high and high school was chinese and our other best friend was indian. my parents swallowed (not without complaining) my sister's moroccan, mildly islamic ex-boyfriend without flipping out to the extremes they've thrown down on me. i really think i'm still in shock and i'm trying to figure out the best way to handle the situation and myself. i don't want to fight about this, because we're family. and even if they are a pack of racist a-holes, i still love them. but i'm also not going to let myself or the people i care about be shit upon for unfair reasons. these kinds of things need to change. i haven't gotten to feel the communal thrill so many people got when obama became president. i felt like dancing in the streets along with everyone else but i was and still am surrounded by close-minded, racist people who have actually shunned me for my choice. it's so stifling that it makes me crazy. i am not exaggerating when i say that almost everyone i come in contact with on a daily basis voted mccain. joey is the only person i know that i actually see and talk to who voted obama, and i suspect he wouldn't have voted at all if i weren't totally interested in the election and he didn't have a horrible crush on me that won't quit. most of my non-melbourne friends voted obama, so in order to share in the spirit, i need to get out of this town. i want to high-five an obama fan. i want to hug a hardcore obama supporter. because i am neck-deep in the racist shit right now. and this shit isn't brown, it's white. white like bird shit. i can't influence the world to stop being racist a-holes, and right now i am literally a single voice in a sea of aggressive opposition. but this is what i was made for. when it comes to the oppressed, the down-trodden, and the underdogs, i have always stood up for what is right. even if it meant taking heavy backlash and putting myself at risk for ridicule. i have a lot more poise and control than i used to. i remember in junior high walking behind a girl who was handicapped and there was a group of kids who started making fun of her and throwing food at her and being obnoxious little shits. i got right in their faces in the middle of the cafeteria and screamed at them for being such little pricks. who the fuck do you think you are treating someone else that way? and then i got in the faces of the teachers and faculty who were supposed to be minding the shop because they DIDN'T DO ANYTHING to stop those boys. i didn't get physical so it's not like i had to be restrained or anything. but i bellowed loud enough for the rest of the cafeteria to quiet down and hear me ream those little fuckers. half of the kids were giggling at the boys for clamming up like little douches when i started raging, the other half were laughing at me and going 'holy crap, look at this crazy girl go off!' i didn't care. i was a fat nerd in school, and fat nerds do as much as possible to blend in and deflect negative attention away from themselves. not me. i was loud-mouthed, bitchy, bossy, mean, and i hated everyone except people who made it easy for me to feel compassion for. i called a lot of negative attention to myself. after that day in the cafeteria i occasionally got food thrown at me. i took a lot of verbal abuse about my appearance and my attitude. i'm taking a lot of abuse now. but i'm trying not to take it personally because the goal here is to change people's minds. gently. without hurting them. i have the ability to cut people to the bone with my words and i will go below the belt if i'm provoked. but i don't want to hurt the little idiots. i just want them to see the ways in which they are wrong. and then i want to help them fix it. because i love them. i think my parents are coming home wednesday afternoon. i wonder if i should tell them that i have a date wednesday night. and i wonder if i should tell them that he's black. also, as far as basil is concerned....i hope reading this doesn't offend you. it shouldn't because my parents are acting like dickheads, and who cares what a couple of dickheads think about you? i'm pretty sure this doesn't affect you. but my strongest feeling on this situation is to take the very sweetest revenge and fuck all over this house until we sexually defile it so completely that the demons are purged. i think that it's only fitting. we should make this happen, yes?

Fake Letter/Email Warning [17 Nov 2008|06:38pm] sadpoet Warning issued over fake letter from Canada Revenue Agency Police and tax officials are warning about a letter and e-mail fraud scheme that attempts to pry confidential banking information and passport numbers from Canadians. The scam is designed to prey on taxpayers worried about their records. It comes in the form of an official-looking letter or e-mail claiming to be from the Canada Revenue Agency and requiring taxpayers to complete a T2 form and bring CRA's records up to date. Winnipegger Orlando Marcelino got what he thought was an e-mail from the Canada Revenue Agency. "When you see CRA you tremble — because it’s government," he chuckled. But he checked further and found the e-mail was from the United Kingdom. "I knew it was a scam," he said. The suspicious correspondence has been turning up in letter boxes and computer inboxes across the country. read the rest of the article post comment

Things are moving on [17 Nov 2008|01:07pm] laneyv [ mood | good ] [ music | 'Scrubs' on TV ] In small steps, they are. Just got an e-mail from my landlady - she did receive my acceptance messages in relation to the flat, and will post me the contract for me to sign and post for her. Then, come January 2009, I can start to move my life to Nottingham, and start preparing for University. 9 months to go after I move.. It feels good to have that kind of confirmation. Now I know I can look at my diary in January and start planning how to move my stuff, see if the 'better half' can meet me for coffee during one of those trips, send off my volunteering documentation to be approved.. get on with things and life as opposed to waiting here, in suspended animation. The past few months have made me look at things and see what matters to me. Further study, having a roof over my head and things to do. Those are the things that bring me happiness. It feels nice to have that feeling where things become clearer, where there is a direction in life, no matter how vague that direction is (in my case, it's just 'get the hell out of here', lol :-D). I should carry on with cleaning and sorting my stuff out; I have decided to spend the next months and a half sorting my stuff out so I can move easily, but at the moment an episode of 'Scrubs' and a cup of coffee is so much more attractive. Still, I'll have a few hours this afternoon, and tomorrow to really crack on with stuff. post comment

this is a story about time [17 Nov 2008|06:40am] weedfairy [ mood | nerdy ] friday afternoon i talked to my brother at work and he mentioned he wanted to drive to titusville to see the shuttle launch later that night. naturally i was totally down with that. i asked what time he wanted to leave. he said around 6:45, as it takes about 50 minutes to get there and the launch was at 7:55. awesome. just let me know when you want to leave. we left at 7:05. as we jumped onto i-95, it slowed to a stop at the very next exit. we were looking at each other like, 'we're not going to make it....' so i told him to cut over to us-1 and we'll get back on i-95 further north. we got onto us-1 around 7:20. daniel jumped back on to i-95 after doing 70mph through suntree (the limit is 40). once on i-95 he put the pedal down on the floor, almost got us into two wrecks, and we went 100 up to the kennedy space center exit. still doing 70 back out to us-1, we hop off and weave our way down to the boat launch where he normally goes fishing. the roads are lined with cars so haphazardly parked that there's barely room enough for us to squeeze through. we get to the boat launch and i tell him to park the car in the middle of everyone, we won't be long. we jump out and RUN to the water's edge and i hear someone in the crowd say '90 seconds.' i look at daniel and grin. the launch was GORGEOUS. night launches are always the best, and i got to see this one from about 10 miles away. not the closest i've ever been, but there won't be many more launches at all so seeing any of them up close is a treat. we waited for the boosters to drop, daniel looked down at me and asked, 'are you over it?' and i'm like yep! let's get back to the car and beat these idiots out of here. we RAN back to the truck, hopped in, and daniel backed out at break-neck speed while i fantasized about someone opening their car door and him taking it totally off. we beat the crowd. it was the fastest and the farthest i've ever driven for the shortest visit ever. here are pictures: liftoff! (hat-man is missing it.) the shuttle is the orange, the moon is the blue. we can get into the story about why he felt the need to hustle me up to the pad for a night launch later. it's out of character for him to leave the house for anything other than work, school or fishing. but he fell in my estimations of being the coolest brother ever last week, and this was his attempt to make up for it. stay tuned for a happy little story about racism. post comment

Human Rights Activists Imprisoned [16 Nov 2008|09:43pm] sadpoet Over the past few weeks, Burma's military regime has sentenced over 100 of the country's leading human rights activists to very long terms in prison. Most of those imprisoned are young, prominent human rights activists who participated in last year's Saffron Revolution in Burma (during which hundreds of thousands of monks took to the streets calling for an end to dictatorship in Burma). Meanwhile, the military regime continues its attacks on ethnic minority civilians in eastern Burma, destroying 12 villages and driving 2,000 people from their homes in the past two weeks. The regime's scorched-earth ethnic cleansing campaign has forced over 1 million people to flee in recent years, and an additional 1/2 million who struggle to survive as internally displaced persons Already, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States have condemned the arrests. Two days ago, the European Union Foreign Ministers met and called for the release of all political prisoners. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is due to visit Burma in December, but there are fears he may back out of the visit because of the difficulties in negotiating with the regime. These prison sentences make it all the more important that Ban Ki-moon goes ahead with his visit. There have been 37 visits to Burma by low-level UN envoys, but things have only got worse. We need the Secretary General's personal engagement on Burma. Take action. Please send an email to the UN Secretary General urging him to visit Burma and make the release of political prisoners his top priority by clicking: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/1189/t/5102/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=1407 post comment

Rather bored yet again [16 Nov 2008|05:12pm] laneyv [ mood | thoughtful ] What Famous Leader Are You? personality tests by similarminds.com I probably should not be amused by that test result. But hey ho, c'est la vie. Very bored here. Just found out that one of the boyfriends best friends at Uni collapsed on Tuesday, and now is so ill with suspected chronic fatigue syndrome that he needs constant company and care from his friends. hence why I am at the moment not even getting a look in from him. God, I do hope things will change when I move to live nearer to him, because as much as I think he has to be there with and for his friends, I would appreciate some attention from him. I do feel like I am battling the current stress of the imminent move and stress about work on my own, because he has his own battles and stresses. I guess I just do not want to add to them at all. I suppose I just have to defer to my own friends and battle this with them. Sort out my house move, the start of my new life on my own. Which is scary, but a necessity.

Detoxifying [15 Nov 2008|06:22pm] sadpoet Tips for flushing out toxins from your body 1 Drink Water Perhaps the simplest way to get rid of toxins is to drink plenty of water. Drinking water detoxifies the liver and kidneys, and carries away waste from the body. 2 Running, followed by Sauna. Running gets the blood circulating and frees up the impurities in your system. The intense sweating in the sauna then dispels these impurities through the pores. 3 Eat Fruits and Vegetables The best foods to flush out toxins are apples, bananas, carrots, eggs, garlic, bran, and kiwi. 4 Do a Colon Cleanse When food isn't eliminated properly, the toxins can stay in your colon for a very long period of time. Many diseases originate in an unhealthy colon. There are natural colon cleansing products available that are convenient and cost-effective. Here's a detox I heard about that's for a 14 day period. Breakfast: a piece of fresh fruit in the morning followed by quinoa and a little fruit juice Lunch: a bowl of steamed veggies (with or without ghee) Dinner : a bowl of steamed veggies and about 4 ounces of protein, either in the form of beans or tuna Drink water and plain herbal tea throughout the day post comment

Which Yoga Pose Are You [14 Nov 2008|05:08pm] sadpoet You Are the Bow Pose You are an open hearted person. You seek connections and make them easily. You are naturally generous - especially with your love and your time. You have a knack for thinking up interesting ideas. You are an inventor and a creator. You approach everything in life with a relaxed attitude. You accept what you can't change. What Yoga Pose Are You? post comment

Tired.. [14 Nov 2008|10:03pm] laneyv [ mood | contemplative ] Waiting for work to sort out my paperwork so I can crack on with it all. And thus feeling totally bored and fed up with things, because there is sod all to do. 'Him indoors' is dealing with some sort of a crisis, probably to do with his best friend, so will not be able to have a chat with me tonight, either. Which is a bummer since I have news to him. Today I have accepted an offer on a house in Nottingham, about 20 minute walk away from him, near my future University, and near enough of my new ice hockey team :-). The official moving date is on the 1.1.2009, but I will probably live in Liverpool until the end of the month, or maybe until February. Time will tell, as well as whether I can get a transfer at work. If I can get a transfer, then I shall leave as soon as possible to be nearer him and to get away from this city. But if not, I shall bide my time, spend my time off there, move my stuff in bits.. take my time and enjoy the slow process. Watching Children In Need on TV and drinking coffee. Thinking, pondering, wondering on what adventures the future will bring me. Fantastic :-). I feel happy, settled, even though the next few months will make me very unsettled indeed. Still, it's the new start for me that I have always desired, and I am excited about it. post comment
