I've also been hearing about protests and altercations involving the Olympic Torch run. You know what I have to say to the protesters? You had your fucking chance when China bid for the Olympics. I sympathize with their cause, I do, but that is not my problem. Protesting in this way and threatening boycotting the games is doing nothing but hurting the atheletes who have trained almost their entire lives! These are the people who you are affecting with these protests. Think of the people this time around who are participating in the Torch run. Can you imagine carrying the torch and having a mob of people swarm you? And not because of something you did, because the host country has questionable policies. What did that poor runner do to them? Nothing! It really pisses me off to see all this coming down on the atheletes. If you want to protest, protest the corporate sponsors of the games. Boycott Coke, boycott GE, boycott Johnson&Johnson, boycott Adidas, boycott Mcdonalds, boycott Visa, boycott Samsung, boycott Volkswagon. If the governments are getting no action with this issue, maybe the corporations can provide some muscle. But attacking the atheletes? Threatening boycotts? 100 days before the games start? Come on people, that is not the way to do this.

Is it so wrong that I don't really want a digital camera? I want one that has actual film in it. Digital cameras are totally a symptom of our instant gratification society. Waiting to get the film developed? I love getting film developed. Getting to see what you took pictures of, its like reliving the experiences. When I was putting my photos into albums I was a little shocked to see how little photos I have printed from digital cameras. I know there are pictures floating around (I know Heather and Charlene and Nicole have discs if I really wanted them) but I miss film. There is a point to this, really. I decided today that I want to document this summer more than just in my head. I am really hoping for a good summer, I think its going to be a good experience, and I want more than just memories. Wow, how schmaltzy, ech. And a little bit redundant.

Also? OMG I want these shot glasses!!

Sick of Stampede

Tue Jul 11, 01:36 PM

Day 6 of the Stampede and I have had enough.

Its Kids Day today. Now if you had kids, would take them at 730 in the morning? I wouldn't. Then again I wouldn't take them period. There were so many kids on the train this morning! Of all ages. And moms with strollers. I got run over by three of them. Two were empty. The kids were being carried by the dads and the moms were pushing the empty strollers. Close the fucking thing! You're just taking up space! I know pregnancy can make you stupid but jeez! The last one had a kid in it. The mom literally was shoving the stroller into the train. She ran over my feet a few times as she was trying to get in. I was flabergasted. It wasnt like she couldnt see me, or that I was being an ass myself and standing in the middle of the doorway. She just plain ran me over.

Yup I am sick of Stampede.

Not happy

Wed Feb 22, 01:55 AM

You know what? I am sick of everything here. My job, this small fucking town. Everything. I have seriously had enough. I just dont give a fuck about anything here. I want to move. Like yesterday. Seriously. I don't want to be in this small town anymore. Calgary is seriously looking good to me right now.

I am sick of me just letting things just happen. Of just letting things fall into my lap. I want to fucking do something! To fucking take a stand and fucking do something. Take some fucking action. I am just sick of everything right now and I need to get out of here.

I am not happy. I dont think I have really been happy here. I have pretended to be happy, playing along to make other people happy, to make them not be all concerned about me. Over the past 14 months I have been happiest in the city, with my friends. I am sick of this. I realize moving wont automatically make me happy, but jesus christ, something needs to change.

I'm sorry, but duh!! What does NBC think? Are people really that stupid that they will think its not new Olympics coverage? God, give people a break! Like we really think its going to be the Nagano coverage. I can understand that maybe someone might be confused about the time of day, but even then! This is just recaps from the days events that happened earlier! PEOPLE ARENT THAT DUMB! Give us some credit!

Jealousy

Tue Feb 7, 09:27 PM

You have no idea how much I love LOST. No idea. It is what I look forward to all week. One show. One hour. Usually the best part of my week. It is pathetic, really. Thanks to indilime via corellianjedi I have found one of the best network produced fan thing ever. Ever! What it is is podcasts that include interviews with the cast members (holy shit Adewale is one sexy motherfucker!) as well as Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse yakking about the weeks previous and next weeks episodes. So funny! The best part is the taking the piss of the handles of the people who send in questions. OMG! I love show creators who are as big geeks as the fans who watch it.

Also on another LOST tangent I have come to realize that I am totally and completely jealous of Evangeline Lilly. Yup. Totally jealous. We are the same age, we both grew up in the capital reagion and are brunettes. But thats where the similarities end. Why couldn't I be the tall, skinny, longcurlyhaired, gorgeous, living in Hawaii, actress in a kick ass tv show and fucking Dom Monaghan? Huh? What twist of fate put her there and me here? Fate sucks. Sometimes the universe sucks too. I do understand that it is ridiculous to be jealous of someone you don't even know. I get that. I can't help it. Instead I just bitch that I don't like her.

ETA: Ha ha. I just read an email from Nicole. This is what she said

Charlie might not be on heroin anymore but he sure the hell is on CRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHAHA OMG that is so true!
