Dad and I spoke about moving to Kingston, with one of his clients today. One of the ones that loves to talk. She was quite set in stone that we should not go, as she likes having us as company when we're over.
We went and started work, and when I got back to where she was we chatted again; as we usually did.
I told her it'd be fine, dad had sold his business to a good fellow, and, she shouldn't worry because I'll be around a while still, so we could still chat. I assured her I knew how she felt about people who didn't "belong." Kind of like I am with my room; it's my sanctuary, where I feel uncomfortable when those that are uninvited come in.
After a few minutes of chatting, she seemed a little more welcoming to the new owner.
As I went to leave the room (we'd spoken of how she loved Kingston, and used to go there all the time) she told me that "I'd like Kingston, and find a new girl -" I kind of cut her off. It may've been rude, but I'm not going to be looking for anyone in Kingston.
"I'm keeping my girl. I've been with many girls, and only loved one. I'm not leaving her."
After I left he room, and rethought what I'd said, I realized how much a whore I sounded like (I've been with many girls, not like BEEN been with many girls; as in "I've been in - what feels like - many relationships").
Also for everyone's clarity, "I'm not leaving her," as in "we aren't breaking up," not, "she's coming with me."
And "loved" is not like, "I loved her, and don't anymore." More like present-tense, but past-tense is how it fits in the sentence.
...see it now?
Anyway. That's my little tidbit...

Reader's Discretion is Advised
The following will contain explicit sex references, much course language,
and strong suggestions of violence.
I would take this to my dad, as that's what I was supposed to do. But I took two incidents to him, and neither were "resolved."
Issue one...
The first weekend after my sister got together with her new boyfriend; my parents went away for the weekend. Guess who stayed over. Not over only did he stay over; they slept together, in my parents bed.
Oh yeah, they did the dirty. They fucked all night in my parents bed. They woke Ashley and I up, as they were being obnoxious and loud.
I even have some quotes... He wished his "first time was like [this]. Nice and passionate; no one walking in on them." Yeah, I could hear you asshole.
I didn't disturb my parents with his information as they were away, and I wanted them to enjoy their weekend. When my parents came home, I asked my dad politely to let me know the rules of the house when they were away, and how I was to enforce them.
I learned boys could stay with permission, but on the couch.
If something was against the rules, I was not to step in, but call my dad, and he would deal with it.
When brought up to my sister (by my dad) she said that they'd fallen asleep by accident.
Right, if you fell asleep, it was because you were tired from you ridiculous amounts of sex.
Accident my ass.
Issue two...
The next time my parents were away, guess who didn't bother to come home. If you guessed, "my sister," you'd be right.
Not only that, she'd been brought home from school because she was "sick" that afternoon. I heard her go out, oh... around maybe 9 or 10, but I'll say 11 to be kind. I went to the main floor to see what was up around, mmm 1am. The gate was locked to go to her room, so the dogs couldn't get upstairs, and her purse wasn't at the table or on the stool where it usually is.
A boy wasn't over, so I didn't bother to text my dad to say there was issue.
I went to bed around 3 or 4, and checked to see what was going on upstairs.
Front door unlocked as it is when she goes out, gate still locked to get upstairs, and no purse.
The purse is the auto-tell if she is or isn't home. I mentioned it to dad, and said, "I understand the purse may go to her room at off times -" but was quickly cut off, and told that the purse NEVER goes upstairs.
The purse isn't there. = She isn't home.
I woke up around 6 or 7 because the puppies were lonely, barking, and whining. So I went to console them, and make them calm down. While I was up I checked everything; the door was still unlocked, the gate was still locked, and the purse - oh look at that - still not there.
At 8 or 9 - in the morning - the front door opened; the dogs freaked out, and woke me up. TWO people came in and made a stupid amount of noise. I waited for them to go away, and then went and checked what was going on upstairs.
Front door locked, her boyfriend's shoes at the front door, gate done up, but unlocked, and purse on the table. Huh...
When my parents got back, I brought this information to them; and the shit storm seemed to be locked. She'd dug her own grave.
She proceeded to stay out past curfew again, which would make her in so much more trouble.
Apparently not; she got out of the bind with saying that she got back around 4, which is complete bullshit. The waterworks made my dad become a softy, and got her out of all trouble. Also - in my eyes - complete bullshit.
Then she yelled and screamed and swore and slammed doors, and continued to get away with it. Oh she got a "firm talking to," but no punishment; just "Tut tut, don't do it again."
*shakes head*
Issue three...
THIS weekend - oh look! My parents are away again. Who'd've thought...
I'm staying in my parents room, so the puppies have someone to be with at night, and aren't lonely again. It's working out great.
I moved my stuff upstairs last night, and when I went for a (quite literally) midnight snack; she came home. She was in and out of the house a bunch of times. Then finally - after I'd been in the kitchen a while - he came in too. They both went up to her room, and; oh yeah, he spent the night.
The way I see it; it doesn't matter what's said, and what proof I have, she'll never get trouble. So why should I bother wasting my time texting to say, "He's spending the night in her bed." Keep in mind, I'm across the hall in my parents room.
I fell asleep around 3am, woke up at 5:50 because the dogs wanted to go out. Oh look, his shoes were still here. Bring the puppies back upstairs and go to sleep, wake up at 9 to call the Ranch because, I was on-call to find out if I had work today. I didn't get work.
Checked for the shoes, and; OH YEAH! They're still THERE...
Eventually they wake up, make noise, blah blah.
Then they go out, and come back. Then someone goes in the bathroom, turns on music loud, and goes for a shower. I thought I was hearing HIM talk down a floor on the XBox. Keep in mind, I'm still in my parents room with the puppies and the bathroom's the NEXT room. I looked downstairs 'cause I was hungry, and he's not in the living room. Huh...
So I pause outside the bathroom, and - well does anyone have any guesses?
His voice was coming from the bathroom. Her voice; coming from the bathroom. Oh, and they're having sex, in the shower.
They were having sex, loud enough for me to hear in the next room, over TV and their music.
Look... They're called fucking manners, and respect.
Neither of them respect me, my parents, or the rules that have been set.
Solutions? Either I get more authority to enforce the set rules, and ways to do so, or; she goes to live in Kingston with my dad, where his new job is.
Pick, 'cause I can control myself enough to just drag his ass down the stairs and throw him out on the curb; even though I'd like the kick the shit out of him before and after.
I just wants SOMEthing to be done, so my sister stops getting away with fucking murder. It's ridiculous.

Tattoo - Revisited
So, to all who didn't know... my last tattoo idea - as seen in Where I'm Whirring Right Now - crashed and burned, so I have been on the search again. My search has been long, tireless, and with no end in site (until recently, maybe).
For starters, I did reach out to my readers for help (the small number you are), and; I did receive some feedback. I thank those of you who attempted to aid my search, profusely. Your ideas did not fall on blind eyes, and deaf ears. (You know who you are.)
That being said, this door is not closed. I'm still welcoming ideas, even though I have come up with two - yes two - of my own possibilities.
I played with may ideas of refereeing, but couldn't make any stick out to my eye, and into my mind, as; hugely creative and unique. One that would not have a random person see it and go, "Sorry, I don't get it." Essentially, self explanatory to a point.
An example being, "I see the quill. It's beautiful. What does it symbolize?" kind of deal. This of course not being MY tattoo, but; a perfect example of the simplicity, and yet intricacy that I'm in search of.
My new ideas tie me to the era in which I was born into; the 90s. Let's face it; I am a 90s child. Among the first of the decade. Super Nintendo was THE game system to own, alongside the Sega Genesis.
I watched the computers we know today become common place in households, along with cell phones, and laptops.
I saw the start and end of the ORIGINAL GameBoy, GameBoy Pocket, GameBoy Colour, GameBoy Advance, and Gamboy SP, PS1, PS2, N64, XBox, and GameCube.
The birth of the Wii, the PS3, and the XBox 360, the CD, DVD, BluRay, flat screen, plasma TV, and of course the iPod.
And in all this I saw the death of cassette tapes, and the VCR with its VHS tapes.
And this leads to my new ideas...
First, the cassette tape. Not only did it bring me music, but the NEVER forgotten "books on tape," that I loved; mostly so I wouldn't actually need to READ the books. (These books had nothing to do with school, to clarify.)
Now, most people have a love of music - this I do not claim for myself. But I have a tie to music that started as a child. Let's be blunt, shall we? My dad is a kick ass singer. From him I learned to sing, and this increased, and still to this day increases my love for music.
The first music I heard would have been on a cassette, but now it's more likely to come from a CD, or MP3 player of some sort. All the Harry Potter I listened to on tape, eventually moved over to CD, and is now located on my iPod, for easy listening.
So there it is; the cassette.
Second, VHS. I never know what to call it. "The VHS," or "the tape that goes in the VCR." What ever you call it, it was the first thing I would have watched a movie on, and I do love my movies.
I remember having two WALLS of VHS tapes, and recording whatever TV shows I wanted to watch in my room. That's how I watched Pokémon.
Now we have only the best of movies still on VHS, but the movie industry are making DVDs of them, and reselling them. Don't get me wrong; it's a good move on their part, just it's annoying that we can't swap them ourselves. Know what I mean?
There it is; the VHS tape.
So all in all, I've got to things that I've seen die (so to speak) in my lifetime, and both have drastically shaped their industry. All I have to do is pick, put some finishing touches on them, and that will be that.
Now, I've heard tattoos are like Pringles. Pringles' slogan being "I bet you can't eat just one." The tie between the two being that a tattoo, most can't only get just one. (Not judging, just saying.) So that being said, the referee idea is not completely down the tubes, just put on hold; so to speak. And whichever I choose from here - to START - the other wouldn't be trashed, just also put on hold. So really, finishing touches are all I need right now. And ideas are welcome for ALL these. ("All these" being the refereeing idea, and the cassette and VHS (as seen above).) So please, I'd love to hear your two - or perhaps three - cents. (If 50 Cent's reading (which I highly doubt), all your input is welcome too. lol)
Cheers.

Politics with Elections Looming
So federal elections are coming up soon. If you haven;t noticed, the signs are already up on most street corners. "Vote for ME!"
I had said (before the elections had come up) that I did not plan to vote. I mean, let's face it; politics ARE stupid. But you know, I decided to check if any could make (what sounded like) valid promises to make my life easier.
Before I get started with parties and their platforms (or at least what I find good, and interesting about them) - oh yeah, I'm going there. I'm stepping into talking openly about politics - did you know there was a "Work Less Party"? Their slogan was "Alarm clocks kill dreams," and they were campaigning for a 32 hour work week. How awesome. lol
They became eligible in 2007, a registered party in 2008, and then voluntarily deregistered in 2010.

Parties and Platforms
Or All That's Useful of Them
Animal Alliance Environment Voters Party of Canada
Party Leader: Liz White
All about the animals and wildlife, which is good, but I mean; after that, they have nothing else.
I'm not interested. Yeah, "'Woo!' for the animals and the environment," but there's nothing there for me as a person.
Bloc Québécois
Party Leader: Gilles Duceppe
Yeah... no, not gonna happen. The entire website's in French, so I can't read it. On top of that, if they actually pulled off a win, I'd have to cross the border to visit Ashley. Let's face it; border crossings are no fun to begin with. Why would I ever condone making a border I'd have to cross so frequently?
The Canadian Action Party
Party Leader: Christopher Porter
Kinda trippy. I like their health care stuff, until they start going off about... well, making "natural holistic remedies available under Medicare." I mean cool, but I mean, that could throw off a bunch of current medically trained people.
"Foster a genuine Canadian drug industry vs. giant for profit U.S. drug industry." Sweet, but aren't most of the American drugs what people currently use?
And they talk about placing "emphasis on how poverty, stress and pollution affect health."It all kind of makes me worry.
Then they go off about understanding "that any decent health-care system in this country requires three major changes." These changes being that we "must cancel the Canada/U.S. Free Trade Agreement and NAFTA because these 'trade' deals give U.S. corporations the right to challenge the very existence of Medicare by claiming it is a trade irritant which distorts the 'free' market. We can do so with six months notice"; then "stop the sell-out of Canada to large foreign corporations, and maintain control over our resources and industries. A country is no longer independent - and can't afford social programs - if its assets and decision-making are controlled beyond its borders." Ending this idea with, "The end of Canada means the end of Medicare"; and finally "we must reform our monetary system. Right now, our money creation is a virtual monopolyof the private banks. The Canadian Action Party will return to the economic and monetarysystem we had from 1939 to 1974 when the money-creation function was shared between the government of Canada, through the Bank of Canada, and private banks. This would provide the fiscal flexibility necessary to fund health care and other essential services without increasing taxes."
All this can be found on their site.
As currently I'm looking for ways to make my diabetes more manageable. By "manageable," I mean "affordable," and this party seems to be able to pull that off; or CLAIM to be able to pull that off.
I shall keep reading, and you will be my witness(es). :)
The Christian Heritage Party of Canada
Party Leader: James "Jim" Hnatiuk
Well, gosh... Aren't religion and politics two of the two things you DON'T mention at the dinner table? And my god, here's two of them.
Now my official stance on spirituality and religion is "agnosticism," which is (in laymen's terms) "on the fence," neither believing or disbelieving, and open to proof of a belief (or disbelief) if it chooses to present itself. (This is not an invitation to attempt to sway me either way. I'm just saying. If you have tangible proof, then by ALL MEANS, do share. Otherwise, I'm really not interested; to be clear.)
That being said; before taking a look at this party's site, I was very hesitant (especially after seeing that religion was part of their name). Once I opened up the website and their man thing was "Think adoption; not abortion," I was done.
The Communist Party of Canada
Party Leader: Miguel Figueroa
You know, after reading a bit... It doesn't sound SO bad...
Remove NAFTA (like The Canadian Action Party) to ease up on economy and health care stuff; the top priority of their campaign being making jobs, but shortening the work week without loss in pay; defend the environment; "Expand democratic political rights; promote equality for women and people of colour"; a "democratic constitutional reform, based on recognition of the full equality of Quebec with the rest of Canada, and guarantees of full aboriginal rights"; "cut military spending by 50%; convert military to civilian job," and; "safeguard the rights of people with disabilities Act against racism, sexism and homophobia."

The Conservative Party of Canada
Party Leader: Steven Harper
Well, I voted Conservative last election, and they won, and nothing really happened. So that shows me that whatever they SAY they have planned... well, to be blunt; it's a load of shit.
Pass for me.
The Green Party of Canada
Party Leader: Elizabeth May
Well they don't offer much at all. Damn hippies... How the hell d'you expect to get anywhere?
Not to mention you're a bunch of hypocrites. Your elections signs are MASSIVE. Way to be ecologically friendly. *shakes head*
The Liberal Party of Canada
Party Leader: Michael Ignatieff
Liberals LOOK good, but I mean they were in power a while too. Like, right up to before I voted for the first time, and THEY couldn't get shit done either.
Pass again.
The Libertarian Party of Canada
Party Leader: Dennis Young
They push for more freedom. Shrink the government, and make it the people's servant. Essentially, keep George Orwell's 1984 from becoming reality. They actually SAY that. Isn't that sad?
The Marijuana Party
Party Leader: Blair Longley
Their little thing says "Bloc Pot" and all they say is that they ARE a registered party, but "Radical Marijuana is NOT 'mainstream.'"
NEXT!
Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada
Party Leader: Anna Di Carlo
Main message: Anti-War
Wow...
New Democratic Party
Party Leader: Jack Layton
Capping credit card rates; reducing cost of everyday essentials; make sure more of each paycheque makes it home; reWARD job creators (They smacked Harper in the face by saying HE put our tax dollars to work sending work overseas, whereas they'd do it on Canadian soil.); make prescription meds more affordable; strengthen pensions; make childcare and education more accessable, and; improve employment insurance.
Huh... We MAY have a winner; their only real competition (in my eyes) is The Communist Party, and the Canadian Action Party.
I mean, in reality they have to contend with the Liberals and Conservatives, but that's only because people vote Liberal to keep Conservatives out of power, and people vote Conservative to keep Liberal out of power. They really should LOOK at their other options. The two that have been contenders since, god knows when, are CLEARLY duds.
The People Political Power Party of Canada
Party Leader: Roger Poisson
Lame. No information online.
The Pirate Party of Canada
Party Leader: Mikkel Paulson
It's all about internet stuff. No REAL usable everyday stuff.
The Progressive Canadian Party
Party Leader: Sinclair Stevens
That's just a lot of "Blah blah blah..."
The United Party of Canada
Party Leader: Brian Jedan
Raising the threshold at which people start paying tax. Better pensions. Universal healthcare. Free post-secondary education?!
Hey-yo!
So after my time spent reading through and compiling information, I'm stuck between voting for a "contender," and two no names. NDP (being the "contender"), The Communist Party, and The United Party of Canada (being the no names).
Who will win? I'll keep y'all posted.
Cheers.

I remember...
I'm sitting in my room, watching a movie. Kinda making me wish I was better with music. Reading it, writing it, etc.
But with the movie, I'm remembering the old days... which have nothing to do with music. lol
Thinking back to elementary school; man those were rough times. I met a lot of people I no longer talk to, simply because they weren't really people I spent time with. I kept one friend from there.
Shocking, I know.
High school can be summed up in one sentence, "Oh, the drama." Most of which was completely unnecessary. Now, I wasn't the starter of said drama, by by god; I wouldn't let some of it go by without giving a little push. Admit it - even if it's just to yourself - stuff like that can be quite fun. :)
After all the bad decisions, and (of course with high school comes girls, and dating, which can only result in) girl issues, I did walk away with a handful of friends. Few of which - unfortunately - do I speak with often. In all honesty, I do regret it, but it's not ALL me. What we used to talk about was school, and class, and DRAma; but as school's done, and we don't have the same teachers, classmates, subjects... we really don't have much to talk about. *shrug*
I mean, I graduated going, "K, I have three people I can keep talking to. I wasn't overly social, so that's understandable; and I'm totally fine with that. But we'll still talk, and it'll be like old times." Yeah... not so much.
But looking back, high school (or at least the later years of it) was probably the best years of my life.
Unfortunate as that's supposed to be a cliche, agreed?
Chilling in dance class... Talking about stupidness, and god knows what...
Good times, good times.
But for all those good times there was always something missing. And to find that missing bit, I needed to go to college... No, not THAT. *shakes head* What do you people take me for...
My life feels like it sucks right now; enough to make me look back to the past, with much focus on high school friends. I'd say, "I wish I was still there," or "I wish I could go back," if it were true, but it's not. All the friends and good times were awesome, but there's one thing - one person - that makes right now better than the past.
But with the movie, I'm remembering the old days... which have nothing to do with music. lol

High school can be summed up in one sentence, "Oh, the drama." Most of which was completely unnecessary. Now, I wasn't the starter of said drama, by by god; I wouldn't let some of it go by without giving a little push. Admit it - even if it's just to yourself - stuff like that can be quite fun. :)
After all the bad decisions, and (of course with high school comes girls, and dating, which can only result in) girl issues, I did walk away with a handful of friends. Few of which - unfortunately - do I speak with often. In all honesty, I do regret it, but it's not ALL me. What we used to talk about was school, and class, and DRAma; but as school's done, and we don't have the same teachers, classmates, subjects... we really don't have much to talk about. *shrug*
I mean, I graduated going, "K, I have three people I can keep talking to. I wasn't overly social, so that's understandable; and I'm totally fine with that. But we'll still talk, and it'll be like old times." Yeah... not so much.
But looking back, high school (or at least the later years of it) was probably the best years of my life.
Unfortunate as that's supposed to be a cliche, agreed?
Chilling in dance class... Talking about stupidness, and god knows what...
Good times, good times.
But for all those good times there was always something missing. And to find that missing bit, I needed to go to college... No, not THAT. *shakes head* What do you people take me for...
My life feels like it sucks right now; enough to make me look back to the past, with much focus on high school friends. I'd say, "I wish I was still there," or "I wish I could go back," if it were true, but it's not. All the friends and good times were awesome, but there's one thing - one person - that makes right now better than the past.

Lame Online Social Network Recognitions (LOSRs)
I find posters like this annoying when they post public information that could be really useful right when it's BRAND new, anywhere from two to six HOURS later than it actually happened. *shakes head*
- - -
Feel free to send your Lame Online Social Network Recognitions ( LOSRs ) from anywhere at all. If it's a business/robot, I'll leave everything visible (as seen above). If it's an actual person, either you or I can blur pictures and names.
Just hit the "Prnt Scrn" button, paste it into paint, and chop it down to what you find lame.
I'd like to thank Ashley for the idea, and no honey... We aren't competing in this, I just really liked the idea. :)
Cheers!

A Gleeful Post
So, I started watching Glee...
I wanted to keep it a secret so I could be like, "Boo! I've caught up!"
It's actually decent.
I started watching for something to watch, and a little out of annoyance that my choir seemed to know EVERY LITTLE THING about it, and quoted it at random times. But mostly because; Ashley seems to love it.
I've wanted to pop out on Twitter and quote people, or comment about what I was watching; but as I was keeping it a secret, that made THAT impossible. SO... I decided to write what was going through my head here - in a draft - and post it once I told you I'd been watching.
Just some notes on characters.
Finn's cool. A little dumb, but reminds me of me in the shyness ways. He has a pretty good voice. His vocal range is pretty much mine. SO I like him more 'cause of that.
Puk's cool too. Unfortunately, he's an ass.
Quinn's always gonna be a cheerleader bitch, even if she gets kicked off the Cheerios again.
Arty's awesome. I LOVED his rendition of Dancing with Myself. :)
Rachel's stupid. She's an ego maniac. Her range is so tight, that anything she has to change to sing, hurts my poor ears. She can pull off some awesome stuff though. Apparently, everyone thinks she's some sort of hot tomali. I have to STRONGLY disagree. Sometimes maybe a LITTLE, but the nose is an eye magnet, and snaps you right out of it. *shiver*
Kurt's hysterical. He's a great character, and a great guy. He's very much comic relief though.
The black girl CAN have a good voice, but she doesn't sing well. No, your mouth doesn't need to move like that to make that sound.
The Asian girl was terrible faking her stutter.
In advance; this will be ridiculously full of SPOILERS...
Also, I apologize for telling EVERYONE "I'm bored," and "I'm not doing anything," for the last week or so. I was actually hiding that I was watching Glee, and keeping it a secret to surprise Ashley. I wrote a blog anyone can read, so clearly I wasn't an embarrassed "closeted Gleek."
AND I apologize to @gunderwoman1 for dragging my feet on the Doobie Brothers. This was a major reason. I'm all hands on it now.
Season 1
Some quick notes that I have no episode references to, as I started here way too late...
I liked how Kurt came out of the closet to his dad. I was SO worried that he'd be upset and angry. I nearly cried when he was totally accepting. Not understanding (not in a bad way), but accepting.
"I've known since all you wanted for your" third (I think) "birthday was a sensible pair of heels." I laughed through tears. :)
Episode 13 - Sectionals
I LOVED this one. I was pissed that the other groups used their playlist, but I teared up when they got to their second number in the competition. I was so happy they made their own numbers quick like that. I was also happy that the Schuester and Pilsbury got together at the end.
Episode 14 - Hell-O
Rachel's take on "Give you Hell" hurt me. When it started, mostly when she started singing, I wanted to fast forward. Unfortunately, I couldn't. I was watching online.
I was REALLY not happy with Schuester's making out with Vocal Adrenalin's director after I thought they were gonna FINALLY get together.
Episode 15 - The Power of Madonna
"Let's talk about it, or sing about it." (Jesse St. James from Vocal Adrenalin)
Oh god it's me... lol
"I thought I'd feel different." (Finn)
Yeah, I felt the same way buddy. Gotta find the right girl. :) Trust me.
Episode 16 - Home
This is the one where we find out about Kurt's dad, and Finn's mom. I loved the speech that Kurt's dad gives Finn, and you can tell there's really something there between the parents. But poor Kurt feels like he's losing his dad. :(
Also, the Jesse and Rachel thing seems to be holding strong. I'm glad she's not dating Finn, as she's CLEARLY a handful. But I'm happy she's found happiness with Jesse.
Episode 18 - Laryngitis
I'd never thought of it before, but yeah; Jesse's Girl does fit for Finn's situation. I was SO happy when the song started. And I LOVED Puk's rendition of The Lady is a Tramp. Awesomeness!
Episode 19 - Dream On
Shut UP! Neil Patrick HARRIS?!?!? You've gotta be KIDDING me. Awesome...
All I think is "Aww Barney..." lol But "YAY!" for Piano Man! :)
The final song started and I went, "Awesome song!" but then realized I should've figured. The episode TITLE was a HUGE give away. lol
And then, "ARTY!"
Episode 22 - Journey SEASON FINALE!!!
One group's name had oral in the title. Made me laugh. It was like Oral Intensity, or something. How awkward and bad. lol
I was happy with the ending. "Yay" for Rachel's mom adopting Quinn and Puk's daughter. I know someone who was happy with the last song of the season though. :)
Season 2
Episode 1 - Audition
LOVED the opening sequence with the Jew-fro loser blogger. It was a nice little recap. Made it seem like they were ACTUALLY on summer break, giving the show that touch of realism to all who weren't watching episodes consecutively. And I mean the sequence AFTER the flash back to "Last season on Glee."
Beiste looks like Tanaka. lol It's funny.
Episode 2 - Britney/Brittany
The Britney music video fantasies are awesome... except for Rachel. Her monster chin and jaw, with large nose bothers me. lmao Yeah! ARTY!
The Britney medley was AWESOME!
Episode 3 - Grilled Cheesus
KURT LINED UP OVER NIGHT FOR SEASON SIX OF GREY'S!!! Not to mention he's a really great dresser. I'm jealous... :$
Yeah Puk! Only the Good Die Young, Billy Joel. :)
So... this episode got annoying with the god shit. I'm all for believing what you want, but there no need to designate an entire episode to it. Finn praying to grilled cheesus would be a funny episode, but then making everyone sing religious songs and pressing poor Kurt to believe is WRONG. I'm on his and Sue's side here. Sue's a bitch, but that's her character.
And Rachel saying that her's and Finn's kids HAVE to be Jewish is ridiculous. They should talk about it (when they get there, they're in high school for god's sake), and she shouldn't be such a prima donna about... well - life. Some "good" for her; she sounds like the little mermaid (sometimes) if I let her song play in the background while I type here. *shrug*
Have I ever mentioned she also over annunciates, and has weirdly shaped lips. She's kinda awkward all over.
LOVE Kurt's take on The Beatles, I Wanna Hold Your Hand. :)
And back to the religious brow beating. Finn singing R.E.M.'s, Losing My Religion.
Episode 4 - Duets
Yeah Kurt sounds like a girl, whether he's singing or not; but he has a really good voice. Rachel's compliments his very well. And Sam and Quinn's duet BLEW my mind. They're a good pair. I'm glad they're a couple now.
Episode 6 - Never Been Kissed
YAY! Puk's back!
The Warblers take on Teenage Dream reminds me of Harmonic Generation. Too bad they're auto
tuned. Oh yeah, I heard that. Unfortunately, I don't like that song. It's catchy, but stupid...
"You can't punch the gay outta me any more than I can punch the ignoramus outta you!" (Chris Colfer)
Episode 7 - The Substitute
Awesome! Gwyneth Paltrow! Hullo... Cee Lo Green! Awesome...
Puk's loving this...
Paltrow has better legs than Rachel; just thought I'd say so. Also, I liked the Chicago number.
Episode 8 - Furt
I liked Sam's promise ring thing to Quinn. Everything he said was awesome, but him leading link he wanted to marry her was kinda cheesy.
BRUNO MARS!!!
I saw the Marry You number on YouTube with Ashley.
I like the couples that they have right now. I know they probably won't stick because... well... one, it's a TV show; and two, it's "high school." But they fit well. :)
LOVED the wedding... And it ended with SWAY! Woo!
ANOTHER BRUNO MARS SONG!
(8)When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change.(8)
I'll admit to crying when Finn and Kurt ("Furt") danced. :)
Episode 9 - Special Education
Shut up! Evita! (8)Don't cry for me Argentina...(8)
And Train... It's getting SO good!
DIRTY DANCING!!!
And Sam did a little Michael Jackson crotch grab, spin, and stand on toes thing. Props to him, and yet... "No Sam... No..."
Episode 10 - A Very Glee Christmas
I'm sorry, but Brittany's Christmas wish for Arty was SO cute. Black Santa was kind of a dick about it, even though they were like, "No! Say you can't!"
Loving Baby it's Cold Outside with Kurt and his gay friend. :)
The episode was unfortunately close to How the Grinch Stole Christmas, which made it cool, and yet weird...
Oh my god! I teared up when Arty got his Christmas miracle. Coach Beiste is such a nice person. :)
Episode 11 - The Sue Sylvester Shuffle
Need You Now was decent, but they need to work on singing like it's supposed to be sung. Don't annunciate so damn much!
As if they called themselves the Superbowl in the post Superbowl showing...
Episode 12 - Silly Love Songs
Aww... Kurt's views on Valentine's Day were like Miss Ashley's. :) AND PUK CAN'T KISS! lmao I respect his choice in women. Not saying I agree with it (or completely agree with his new found "type"), but I respect it. Loved the Queenage, by the by.
Rachel can certainly dish it out when it comes down to it. Slap in the face to Santana. :| And poor Kurt! :(
"Go Finn!" for standing by NOT letting Rachel back up in his Finnage. lol
Thank you Arty for the Michael Jackson! (8)I want to love you (P-Y-T) / Pretty young thing.(8)
And at Rachel's take on Firework, Glee becomes like TV's modern take on Grease. Good thing Grease was good. Or... the first one was, at least.
Episode 13 - Comeback
And it's been Biebered... To clarify for all; I'm a huge fan f his musical prowess, and lyrics. My only snag being he's way too young to be singing what he sings. Also, his hair, and overall attitude...
Glee's done a great job or SOMEwhat reworking his tunes, and the choreography. But! But but but... The guys dressing and getting their hair like his, was unnecessary, and stupid.
K, Finn's become a jerk. Making Quinn cheat on Sam is terrible. And why's he still chilling with Rachel when they're CLEARLY broken up. *shakes head*
I always get a kick out of the name "Oral Intensity." I mean come ON! lol
CONCLUSION
So... Now I have caught up on Glee. Yes, I actually do like it. That being said; it doesn't mean I can't still mock it. It still has areas to be made fun of.
So there!
I wanted to keep it a secret so I could be like, "Boo! I've caught up!"

The Ongoing Search
Alas yes, I still press forward for that design that will be perfection in a tattoo for me.
As seen before I did have a design, but it fell through. Most things pertaining to it became... bad, and it had set so well in my brain that I couldn't change it without hurting me. Unfortunately, it needed to be changed, and so the whole thing was scrapped.
The irony being that most who had helped, or given input then came out of the wood work about not liking the idea.
NOTE: I'm not being spiteful, or angry. Just "talking" as that's what I do here. I'm not lashing out, and am not looking to offend, and I HAVE mentioned this subject to all persons involved. I'm not looking to blindside you; again, just "talking."
So every chance I get, I pop into the Google search engine... Go to images, type in "hockey." Scroll, scroll scroll... "Ice hockey." Scroll, scroll scroll... "Ref." Just looking for ideas to make my creative mind kick in. Scroll, scroll scroll... "Referee." Scroll, scroll scroll... "Hockey referee." Scroll, scroll scroll... Oh for goodness sake. There's nothing out there. "Ice hockey referee." Scroll, scroll scroll...
I decided to go down the referee route as that's part of my life that is important, and will continue to be a part of my life until I can't skate anymore. This idea was suggested by Ashley, and is a brilliant idea. (I love you honey.) Unfortunately for me, although it is a brilliant idea, it's also an idea that has very few areas to be creative in.
So... I mean suggestions would help. Anybody?
Um... I'm starting to think of going in another sort of direction, another design that has more freedom. But as there isn't really much to my life (fuck no I'm not doing something for diabetes, get that out of your head) I'm stumped.
Maybe it just wasn't meant to be...
*shrug*

The Wee Ones :)
What is it about kids that just makes you smile? I can't say for sure, but I know that that is true.
I write with two (recent) examples.
Number one; I was linesman in a Major Atom B game the other night. (Atom is 10 and 11 year olds, and "Major" indicates that it was a competitive game.) As a linesman I have to tell everyone on the ice when a team (depending on which end I have, and they play is in) is onside or offside*.
It's something as simple as yelling (or in my case "projecting my voice") "No!" or "Clear!" when they're onside, and washing out at the blue-line (which is like the "safe**" signal in baseball). And "Offside!" repeatedly until they are once again onside, when you then say "Good!" or "Clear!"
When you officiate hockey at the Novice level (ages 8 and 9), they sometimes need a little more encouragement. To get them to respond to being offside (which they haven't the faintest about) you need to yell numbers, names and colours, and tell them to "get out." To get them to go back in it's "ok, you're good," "go go go!" and "go get 'em!" :)
Anyway... After doing this a few times in front of the visiting team's bench, the back-up goalie leans over the boards and says, "You got some lungs on you!" It was the cutest thing EVER! I couldn't turn and face him, but I thanked him, and couldn't hide my gianormous grin.
Later his blocker was hanging over the boards, and I bumped it by accident, as I skated by, and he was like "Sorry!" I said, "No problem buddy, it's alright."
He was a cute little kid. Makes me smile just thinking about it. :)
Number two; doesn't really involve a kid, per say...
The guy who refereed the game I did today noticed afterwards, that I had a pump. He knew it was a pump right away, which was cool.
He started asking a whole bunch of questions; "Do you wear it when you ref? ... Is it difficult to use?" stuff like that. After a bit he told me his 9 year old daughter has type I diabetes too. Then he asked questions about other stuff. I let him know I'd had diabetes since I was 3, and that I can relate a little to how she feels.
He told me that she felt like "her life was over," and all that. 9 year olds eh?
But she knew that *shiver* a Jonas Brother has diabetes too. I told him yeah, and there've been hockey players with it too. So it only really limits you if you let it. "For instance," I used myself as an example, "I want to be an NHL referee, and" I kicked my ref bag "I'm not gonna let it stop me."
He smiled (because he could see his daughter'd be fine), and told me "Right on buddy, and you got no fat on yeh."
I told him a pump is just a small adjustment from syringes (because it pretty much is), and that it's all a comfort thing. That it's pretty simple. You just dial in your blood sugar, tell it your carbs you're eating, and it does the rest.
He was all curious about knowing carbs in food and stuff. He thought it'd be hard. I told him that stuff at the dinner table - like mashed potatoes, for example - is guess work, but you get the hang of it. I said that stuff you eat regularly becomes habit. "Like, I have the same thing for breakfast every day; toast and peanut butter," not true, I have that most days, but I was making a point. "The package says how much is in how ever many slices of bread. The first time you check, the second time you're checking to make sure, and soon you know exactly how many carbs are in two slices of toast, and peanut butter." 40g at my house, just by the by. :P (42g at Ashley's, depending on the bread.)
I saw the realization click in, and he was a little more relaxed about it. I finished out by just saying that if they want to learn more about it, or think it's a good idea, to just talk to their doctor.
He piped up, "I might just have her talk to you," in a 'she needs to see someone with it that is getting along fine,' sort of thing. It warmed my heart. :)
We talked a bit more, and he learned that I'd only been using my pump a month or two. I think he got a little more comfortable with the idea of his daughter maybe getting one from that. Just the fact that I talked about it, and found it pretty easy, and could explain stuff to him in ways he could understand, in that amount of time, helped.
Anyway, so there's my "Wee Ones" stories.
:)
*When the puck crosses into a team's offensive end and one or more players of the attacking team (with the exception of the player in control of the puck) already have both skates in the offensive end. (The "offensive end* is indicated by the blue-line.)
**When a player running the bases makes it to a base without being tagged my the player holding the ball.
I was just being a dick, 'cause it's fun...

Words on Pets
So, I know it shouldn't be a passing thought, but I'm not gonna lie; it was today. I was thinking about pets (past, present, and future).
I've had (in total) 4 cats, 3 dogs, 2 hamsters, a preying mantis, and a monarch butterfly.
Currently I have 3 cats, and 3 dogs; I love them all dearly.
Sometimes, my cat is a little bit of a handful (to say the least). But I mean, I love him. I really do.
He just likes to be the center of attention, and he'll nip/bite, stand on or head-butt you or what you're using, to be just that "the center of attention." For instance, last night he'd bug me for attention, while I was TRYING TO SLEEP. *grumble* Needless to say I was cranky when he did it, and I was cranky this morning.
Now someone brought to my attention *cough*Ashley*cough* that dogs are smarter than cats. At first I was a little taken aback. But she... er... this person had a study to back their statement, so there wasn't much I could say. And really once I thought about it, it seemed true.
Dogs learn commands. Cats, ha! I wish you good luck.
Dogs'll knock whatever they're doing off when you show you're irritated. Cats, ha! I wish you good luck once again.
Cats learn to pee in a litter box. Dogs; well I've never tried it, but it should be doable when you think about it. And then again, cats'll NOT use said litter box when they feel like it, so that point can be somewhat moot.
So that being said; three points, and dogs to top the intellectual power chart.
Anyway, I digress.
I was thinking about my next pet, 'cause lets face it. My buddy Meowth (yes, that is my cat's name) may not act it, but he IS getting up there in years... for a cat. That being said, he can't live forever, and his day WILL come. I'm not saying I'm "hoping" for it, just that it is on its way.
I'm thinking of getting a dog. Like a dog for ME, kind of like Meowth was a cat for ME. I've never had a dog for ME. I mean Emmerson, Steve and Muffy are my families dogs, but Emmer and Muff were here before me, and yeah Steve was new to everyone at the same time, but Katie kind of laid claim to him.
Anyway, I'd like a puppy (more than likely a rescue puppy) (lol Meowth just left the couch. I'd bet because he could tell I was talking about getting a dog.) and that being said, I'd need to be sure he could get on my bed, so the loft would HAVE to go. Also, I'd like him/her to be puppyish, meaning under a year - two at the most - so he could become at least SOMEwhat attached to me as a "parent" sort of figure. And I'd like to be able to meet him/her before he/she is for SURE mine. That being said, he/she'll have to be a local dog to start.
I know it's a tall order, but hey! I can dream, right?

Equipment Issues
So I'm going to play some hockey on Boxing Day, with Miss Ashley's family. (WOO!) And to be sure I was ready, I got me a mouth guard, 'cause "shot blockers shouldn't leave home without one." (I'm quoting myself, and I like the feeling.) Am I right? 'cause I mean getting hit in the face (slash teeth) with a stick or the puck would be quite painful, whether you have one or not; but the mouth guard can SAVE your TEETH.
So I got one of those "mold to your mouth" deallies, in the hopes of it working awesomely and all; and isn't it JUST my luck... after going at it a good half dozen (I'm talking regular dozen, not the baker's dozen. six and a half goes would be challenging) times, I can't make it fit, for the life of me. It hurts the crap out of my teeth, and if I don't bite down just the right way, my teeth bleed.
Mmm... How do you spell "fun"?
Solution!
Not wearing a mouth guard. Yes, I have thought on that. This would have me REALLY test my reflexes. I'd need to turn my head, or get a hand up, just in time; EVERY TIME. No pressure, right?
OR
Go for it and deal with the painful mouth issue for however long the game is.
My goodness, what a tough choice... I'm gonna go for "start with it, and see if I can deal. If not; 'bye bye' mouth guard, 'please please' reflexes for the remainder of the game."
My biggest disappointment would be that I paid a wad of dough for a mouth guard which does not work, and I cannot return. THAT's stupid...
Thoughts anyone?

A quick rant about music...
I was just driving miss Ashley to work, and something caught my ear in the music I listen to. I enjoy when artists make each song their own.
Now I don't mean that as in, "No one else sings it," or "If it's a remake, they change EVERYthing about it." How I mean is that they add their own flavour, or their own personality to it. They almost... feel an attachment to it while singing, and let it be known. D'you know what I mean?
For instance, when you can hear their emotion in their voices, or when they sing about something and you can tell it's really close to home for them. Even when it's something fun, and they laugh a little.
Examples, examples... Umm, Luke Bryan's 'Rain is a Good Thing'. When he gets to the last chorus, you can tell he's really into it, and is having fun. So much fun that... he laugh's instead of usued the words that've been there the entire rest of the song. The only other one (off the top of my head) is Taylor Swift's - I know, "What?! You listen to Taylor Swift?!" Talent's talent, what can I say? - 'Speak Now'. You can tell she had fun with it. Not that she doesn't have fun with all her music, and CLEARLY it's not s true thing she's singing about, but he little giggle near the end's priceless.
Yes, I know in both these cases (and all others) they do a million takes, and pick the right one. But hey, a change can be made with ONE slip up. If you sing through a section enough times, and you enjoy it, the slip ups don't usually involve an "Oh S#*! I messed up." They can have a few, but never in bad spirits. And I'm not saying they COULDn't make it through the song, just after a few takes, and one cute slip up after a day of recording; the editors realized, "You know, that sounds good that way."
Now not everyone can do the laugh thing. A perfect example being Pitbull, in 'I Know You Want Me'. I love the song, but I hate the opening, with the clearly obvious fake laugh. It hurts me...
A few gooders, are 'Anything Like Me' by Brad Paisley (I'll admit it makes me tear up); 'F U' by Cee Lo Green, not for the faint of heart as the non-radio edit is the F-bomb, and; 'Stutter' is a good one too, by Maroon 5.
If you haven't heard of some of these tracks before, please check 'em out. They're good enough to mention. Taylor Swift, Maroon 5 (on their first and last album), and Brad Paisley are - 9 times out of 10 - a good listen too.
Check them out!

The Job Search Continues - Part VI
..."check out more girls," so you can't be upset with me honey. And
American Eagle would be good because of the employee discount. But
given the choice between them and Lids, I'd pick Lids because it seems
more welcoming.
And it all does depend on hours they can promise to offer. At minimum
wage I need 45 a week. At $11.54/hour, I can settle for 40 a week.
That's the MAJOR major factor. But after that Lids'd come first.

Things that I can't say on my own... - Part II
... through it with [you]. [You make] me happier than... anything I've ever known. And If I can have a part in making [you] happy again, that's all I want to do. That's all I want to do for the rest of my life." (Eric Dane [Grey's Anatomy S07E02]) Let me help you. "Help me, help you." (Tom Cruise [Jerry Maguire])
"I'm right here. I'm ok. We're ok." (Patrick Dempsey [Grey's Anatomy S07E02]) I hope we can get better, and be better. I don't want to be just "ok," but ok is good for now. We need somewhere to start. Agreed?
Sorry... I know you're not a fan of public stuff, but I want you to know I'm sorry for the way I acted, and I'll have the whole world know it too; if that'll aid in our healing process.
I love you, I hope you know that. And nothing will ever change that. No mater what's said between us, I will always love you. Even when we're old, and grey, and I have no hair; I'll love you.
Promise.
Things that I can't say on my own... - Part I
"You felt [upset, blamed, and disrespected]. You were angry at me, and after what you've been though; you're allowed. It's what you should be feeling, and I know; 'cause when I was there I felt all those things, and I... I took it out on you." (Kevin McKidd [Grey's Anatomy S07E02]) I've done it to you before too, and for that I'm sorry. But "you were patient, and you were kind, and you stayed though it, because you love me. ... You can be scared with me, you can be pissed with me - or at me; I don't care, 'cause I'm going to stay through it all. I'm not going anywhere [honey]. I'm not going anywhere without you." (Kevin McKidd [Grey's Anatomy S07E02])
I don't want "to wait around to be happy anymore." (Eric Dane [Grey's Anatomy S07E02]) I want to be happy with you, right now. I know we can't just jump right to happy. We need to start working at making it back to happy. We need to work at being happy, together.
"I know who [you are], and if [you're] going through [your] worst right now; I want to go ...

Where I'm Whirring Right Now
Did you know it's actually spelt "whirring"? I though it could be "wurring," or "whurring," or maybe "wherring." Dictionary.com says it's "whirring," so that's what I'll go with.
Got as few things buzzing around in my head right now. They didn't just start now, they've been there a while, but I figured I might as well get them down now, asI really haven't written in a while; for which I do apologize, once again.
Keep in mind, none have anything to do with any of the others, so I seem disconjointed; I am being disconjointed.
*shrug*
Tattoo
Yes, I am contemplating getting a tattoo. I'm thinking of getting it in ten months, which'd be sometime in July. I placed it there for a few reasons. One, I've had people say "Wait a year on it," and some have said, "Six months is a good wait time." Twelve plus six is eighteen, divided in two (to get the average) is nine, so ten should be just fine. I just finished designing it, and got it okayed (as in doable), so ten months would be ... July, and; two, it has much to do with TV I watch (alone, and with Miss Ashley), and that would be after all the seasons this fall/winter have concluded.
I plan to get it on the upper right side of my back (shoulderish), but I'm not doing the stereotypical "dude shoulder tattoo" thing. I want to be able to take part in the work force, as I will need to be employed outside of refereeing to survive, before I really start taking off there.
To do that, I needed to keep it in the torso area. And as I refuse to get a tattoo on my lower torso, I confined myself to the upper torso.
Here's the current picture that has been put most places I am usually (ie. Above my TV, over my bed, the stairs to my room, and my computer in my room. Also it's the wallpaper of my cell phone, laptop, and computer.)
In "real size" it's 4.5 inches tall, by about 4.3 inches wide.
Apparently that'll take about three and a half hours to do, and cost close to $500.
Now, there are a couple shows on there that are on the chopping block this season; Dexter and Grey's.
I didn't like them much last season, even though I do really like them.
Dexter, was sort of sketchy, and not as good as it's first two seasons, which was really disappointing to me. And Grey's had a good start and finish, but not so good in the middle. We'll see how they turn out this season.
The Mentalist was on there, but I didn't like last season at ALL, so it got cut. A tangent, and yet not...
School
I thought I was missing school. At first I couldn't put my finger on why, but after some though I think I got it. It's not the class; definetely not class or the work.
The social aspect. I'm not a really social guy, so I know that sounds weird, but it's true.
I miss being around a large group of the same people (who I vaguely know) on a regular basis. Meaning, "Going to the mall wouldn't cut it."
Both dad, and Miss Ashley have said, "Well go back." I put some thought into it; and I guess I could. But I will NOT go back and run up my student debt for shit I won't ever need.
So today I went browsing. I could only find two things I want, or might like to know as a part-time student. Digital Music Production (http://bit.ly/c8NMa5), and Graphic Design (http://bit.ly/dpFQCN). Each one has stuff I'd like to learn, and the good thing is that I can pick the courses I want to learn at my pace, which is awesome.
So, say if there's "How to Draw a Dude Picking His Nose" I can just not take it, 'cause fuck; that's completely and utterly useless.
I looked at Digital Music Production 'cause I like music. I've done the "sing into the computer" thing, and want to know how to make it better. There's a course on making your at home studio, and guiatr lessons for beginners. "No previous music experience required." Awesome, 'cause I'm instrumentally challenged, but would LOVE to learn to play guitar.
Graphic Design I looked at because I like playing with stuff like that. In my Photography course, that was on of my favourite things. And I deisgned my tattoo; so learning how to use all those programs better would be of good use, if I ever decided to do something that involves graphic design, or maybe want another tattoo; it'd work out to my advantage.
I mean there's nothing cooler than being able to go, "Yeah, I designed that," and I think as a tattoo, it'd be even cooler. But we'll see. I mightn't even want another tattoo.
Work
I am looking for a job. I want full-time emplyment, and I want to be at least a little happy with what I do for now. It certainly won't be a career, as I want refereeing to be my career, but like I said before, "I need something now in order to survive."
I am currently living with my parents, but I can't use their health insurance once I turn 21. I turn 21 beginning of February, so the clock's ticking.
It also doesn't help that I'm diabetic. That makes living - even without paying rent and utilities (in the future), food, etc. - VERY expensive. So I need full-time employment, decent pay, and benefits.
In Conclusion
...figured I'd put that so we'd all know I wasn't continuing on the last section.
THAT is what's running through my head right now.
Cheers.

Going the Distance
...yes, the movie.
Saw it on Saturday, and it was SO good. I don't care what the ratings said, it was REALLY good.
It could be cheesy at some points, and flat in others, but the on screen chemistry between Drew Barrymore and Justin Long MORE than made up for those points, whcih really didn't come around that often. I hope it does really well in the box office.
I want to thank Miss Ashley for suggesting it.
Everyone; GO SEE IT! It's worth the cost of the ticket. Trust me...

Return to Reality
I stated this earlier at work, and then my phone decided to forget it; so I'm starting over. Bare with me...
Some people drive me up the wall. It's the people who pretend they don't notice the world around them. I know there are people who actually don't notice, but then there are those people who pretend; and they're morons.
There's this guy I met in high school. He video taped my classes dance presentation so we could all get DVDs. As I was the only male dancer, he figure that made us automatic friends (I guess). This is not true. We're merely aquaitances. I have no need or wantto know anything about him away from that last year of highschool when he recorded my dance.
I've told him this before, but he doesn't seem to get it.
Then I found out (first day of college; two years ago) he was in the same program (and classes) as me; and I was just so happy to know I had a friend in college.
FAT CHANCE!!!
Anyway...
As second semester ended I asked out my now girlfriend (for 1 year, 4 months, and 6 days). God knows how he found out when he did... but he did, and had a class with Ashley before our first date.
To her, he announce that he was surprised I hadn't told him about her, as he was my best friend. He then continued on to tell her to not go out with me, and gave various (stupid) reasons.
Unfortunately, all of his reasons contained previous girlfriends. So; in essence, I was having the ex-girlfriends talk, pre first date, and without being present.
Needless to say he was (and still is) interested in Ashley to a creepy extent. I won't go into details.
Later on (fall semester) he made many passes towards Ashley, knowing - full well - we were still dating.
I'm sorry, but there's a fucking line.
Get this, he added me on Facebook just the other day.
I have never made better use of the ignore button in my life.
You'll be pleased to know I didn't write him a message or anything, although I really did want to. Now, if he writes me all "Dude! Why didn't you add me? We're best buds! Why'd you delete me before?" I'll give him a damn good piece of my mind.
Moron...

Where has the evening gone?
Well, I've been trying to get into paintball. One of the guys I knew in high school (and elementary school) said it was fun, and he'd bring me along sometime. That was in grade 10, if not 11. Needless to say; it never happened.
Then a year ago, a Medieval fighting buddy of mine (Kendric) mentioned it, and that for fighters, we didn't need to wear pads because it's stupidly light. He said my knight (Ed) and I should join him sometime... Once again; never happened.
A few weeks back Ashley's brother went paintballing.
I decided, I'm going to take to take my own damn self. And I've also though (if I go and like it) that I may do it as a birthday thing with family friends and stuff, but we'll see.
Last Friday, I drove out to the closest paintball range (for lack of a better term) and waited for it to open... It didn't, and I ended up heading home and getting ready for work.
I tried again today. I figured it was later in the day, so they'd be open... Nope. So I parked and called them (as they had a huge sign with their phone number in their parking lot). [QUICK NOTE: Calling is a huge deal for me. I'm not a phone person.]
I found out they're open only on weekends, pretty much all day. I figured, "Well, they have a store, and I know where it is. Maybe I'll go check prices of gear for when I go." I had nothing else to do, and it was a little before 5pm.
When I got to the store, it turns out they close at 5 on Wednesdays (only on Wednesdays), so I couldn't get in.
Just my luck...
Now I'm home, alone; with very little to do.
Ho hum...

Tangents and Ideas Alongside My Thoughts and Feelings - Part 1
I'm back, once again...
Hello, hello.
Hello, hello.
Firstly; yes I do have something to keep me writing (or typing) in here every day. This is thank you to Ashley (in case you haven't picked up on it yet; she's my girlfriend).
It involves writing "letters," and each letter each day is to someone who is designated by a list.
For example "someone who [blank]."
Now, as each person is different, I found it difficult to put someone to each day, so I decided it best to not start writing said letters until I decided on a person for each day. This may take some time, so do be patient.
Next...
Dad mentioned to me today if I felt like I should have continued with golf. Like if it'd've been a good path for the future and what not.
I said, "Yeah, and I felt the same about hockey."
Ironically, I had golf on me from goodness knows when. I used to beat the snot out of a yellow golf ball (which matched up REALLY well with those damn dandelions, let me tell you) in my grandparents back yard.
One time my grandpa
