    Hmm

    Once again humbled by my extreme lack of knowledge of Lower Mainland.
    Crap highways and routes and whatevers...
    Staring out the window dumbly wondering where I am is the description of my navigating.

    Argh, I am happy with just Richmond.
    ....Which I also don't know very well.
    My little neighborhood, then.
    ... Where I can't name any of the streets besides mine.

    WELL, that's okay, I'll just....
    ...just...
    just...
    .....
    A few minutes ago I found my copy of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince!!!
    Definition of "find" being "glanced onto the shelf and saw it"...
    But there it is.
    Yey.
    I attempted to borrow my sister's, and she said "Don't you have your own?"
    Then I remembered.
     
     
    Why does Richmond not have Taco Bell? Or Swiss Chalet? Or Red Robin?
    We are missing lots of the awesome chain stores.
    I have NEVER gone to Taco Bell.
    Ever. 
     
     
    My hamster peed on me today.
    While I was trying to stuff him into Far's pocket.
    I went and washed my hands, but I didn't tell him.

    PHWOAR!

    ITS HERE ITS HERE!!!

    Okay, so the Dell laptop doesnt look quite  like I thought it would....
    In fact, some parts of it are rather... primitive... looking...
    But they say, you shouldn't expect from others what you yourself don't have, so okay.. that's alright.
    At least it has INNER beauty, thank god, which is more than I can say for myself.
    The keyboard is the most AWESOME keyboard I've ever seen on lap tops.

    Seriously a lot of those super expensive laptops have those light, fluffy keys, but mine is not like that at all, which I love.
    It requires you actually push down, and I looooooooove keyboards like that.
    I no longer have to carry an attachable keyboard with my laptop like my evil half imagined.
     
    Why am I going on and on about its keyboard?
    That hardly counts as inner beauty.
    Well, because I have turned it on yet, thats why!!

    Hehehehehehehehehehhehehehehehehe..
    I'm too excited.
     
    Also, the battery charger is "Made in China", so I've braced myself for unexplainable explosions.
    However, with the rest of the laptop, I will not let myself be carried away by anything other than exceptional brilliance.
     
     
    *Starting laptop*
     
    ...OMG IT WORKS IT WORKS...!!!!!
     
     
     
    Umm....
    ....... why is it asking me all these questions?
     
     
     
    ...... we are in the Pacific timezone, right?
     
    Argh, now I have to go and make sure.
     
     
     
    .... Thank god I knew my time zone, otherwise I'd feel dumb.
     
     
     
    Oh it's asking me something else.....
    ... Oh yeah, I know my name... *Phew*...
     
     
     
    Ooooooooooooooooooooooo it says "Welcome"!
     
    See, I knew we'd bond.

    Song

    This is the theme song for 櫻桃小丸子, a Japanese cartoon...
    The Chinese version lyrics is sooooo like me... (which may not be a good thing)
    Here they are:
     
     摳牙齒 書沒背 晚回家
    人人多少都有些壞習慣
    今天這樣 明天一樣 怎麼辦
    我總不能 永遠這樣 會完蛋

    下定決心 把缺點打倒
    不怕跌倒 信心最重要
    我們都是這樣長大

    稍息立正站好!
    霹靂啪啦 呼嚕嘩啦 鉛筆找不到
    鏗鏗鏘鏘 乒乒乓乓 上課又遲到
    嗚嗎嗎 呼呼哈哈 做事不能一團糟

    稍息立正站好!
    霹靂啪啦 呼嚕嘩啦 這次會更好
    鏗鏗鏘鏘 乒乒乓乓 人小志氣高
    嗚嗎嗎 呼呼哈哈 臨時抱不到佛腳

    LAPPIE!

    My Dell laptop should be here within 10 days (says the tracking system)...
    I hope its sooner... I'm so excited! XD
    So many people have a laptop except me... (yes, I know, grammatical error)
    I'd feel all grown up with one...
    It's a way to pretend I'm mature without having to be, really..

    My nose is ruling over my life.
    Like, seriously.
    I have to worship it and jump at its every wish and command.
    Otherwise it spurts blood until I give up and go back to being my humble nose servent self.
    This morning (the fourth day of no nose bleeding), I blew my nose whilst ever so slightly increasing pressure, and suddenly it decides, "You've overstepped the line, missy!" and then comes forth the red waterfall.
    Gross.
    Good thing it was a short one, probabaly just a warning to keep me in line...
    Sigh.
    Yes, master nose.
     
    My hammie likes pita bread, too.

    Whoopee

    Started my day with a nosebleed.
    Literally.
    It started about two seconds after I woke up, before I opened my eyes.
    I had to do a tilt-head-backwards-while-sitting-up thing so the blood wouldnt come out my nose and get all over my PJs and sheets...
    Unfortunately that means the blood had to go somewhere else, and that was down my throat.
    So I was swallowing blood for a bit but I guess that's kind of like recycling..
    I kinda save my body the trouble of making more, by just.... eating it as it comes out.
    Anyway, after ten minutes it finally slowed down and my garbage can was filled with bloody and tissues, and thats when i decided "God I'm SO sleepy, it must be done by now", so I yanked the bit of tissue out of my nose, and with it came the blood clot that had taken ten minutes to form.
    So... back to gushing blood..

    Went to Big River Brew with mom, kind of nervous because I didn't have any ID to prove that I'm 19 (because I'm not), but the woman was like "I'll just put you guys in the restuarant half", and mom and I had nachos and chicken fingers and brownies.
    I am currently so full I think I'm gonna barf.

    I did a bit of opera singing for my hammie (hamster, just to clarify, since once I said "I'm gonna go wash my hammie" and someone said "...hamstring?") when I got home from the eating and it was funny because my hammie was sleeping.
    So I was trilling away opera while holding some honeydew in my hand to give him, but he didn't wake up and the honeydew was slipping, so I went about four keys shriller and he twitched awake.
     
    On the way back from the restuarant, my mom says "You haven't gone to work for almost two weeks. You've become a bum."
    "One week, mom."
    "Still."
    Seriously, a lot of people don't know what durian looks like.
    I was eating a bit of the fire dragon fruit, and someone says "Is that durian?"
    Typical.
    Although you've got to use your brain, because if it's durian your nose will obviously tell you so.
     
    But I must not make fun of people for ignorance, because I did not understand the concept of sex until grade seven.
    Until grade nine, I didn't know that I am really China-nese.
    I still don't know what TLC means, and my mom is cooler than me when it comes to ordering alcohol.
    I don't even know what day my prom was, and even though I just got the notice yeaterday, I've already forgotten what day I'm supposed to register for my September courses.
     
    Now I have to go find the notice.

    MOO LAH

    Okay, basically finished my children's book, called "Annie and The Shark"..
    The age group is probabaly 4 ~ 9?
    Seriously, despite working in a book store I am always confused about reading development in kids..
    It really varies by the kids, and ESPECIALLY by gender.
    God, girls are smart.

    Anyhoooo...
    The book is roughly done and I REALLY dream on about having Marie-Lousie Gay do illustrations for me... ha ha ha ha ha.. it's quite a laugh.

    But other than her perhaps I'll just do the illustrations myself.
    It doesn't signal that I have confidence with drawing.
    It simply means I'm too cheap to pay people to draw for me.
    I'm thinking of those single line drawings, the type that you can kind of get away with now, like the stick figure simple type that people find cute for kids books.

    However, unlike as with Darren's book, I need editors for "Annie and The Shark".. like, no one really knows much about children's books.
    I try to read lots of childrens books (and I'm not going to say whether it is while I'm supposed to be working), but I still can't judge my book good or bad, cause its like, maybe I judge different just cause I wrote it...

    It took me a week to finish this book whereas its taking me years to write Darren. Ha ha ha.
    ....

    That's why I'm suspicious I'm missing something.

    Progress

    I am managing to get even more tired of my job..
    And even more desperate for a lap top..

    What fantastic progress.

    But I will have a lap top in two weeks.
    I better.

    However, for the next two weeks I am back to mega hours on my job, but I suppose that is good since I will need a little replenishing after I buy a lap top.

    Annoyed of shopping around for brands and whatever, so I am going to go and just pick the one that best suits my taste.
    Fuck the sales people.
    God they are SO annoying.
    Electronics' sales people need a shoving up their ass.

    Especially Staples and Best Buy.
    And I heard Future Shop is gay too.

    What a wonderful world!
