Fancy that.: November 2003

Edit: I ended up cheering for the Esks, but I wasn't as happy that they won as I would have been if the Riders did. Whatever.

I have an extremely hard decision to make. East or west? Who to choose? Which team to cheer for at the Grey Cup: (when I'm such a loyal green and white fan.) the Montreal Aluettes or the Edmonton Eskimos to be exact. Sheesh, going east would be being kind to the easterners, but cheering west would be being kind to those horrid Albertans. *chuckles* I'm leaning towards the Esks, because I mean, it's not their fault they kicked the Riders butts, (and banjos?) it's the NDP's! *ignores all the weird looks* The Riders have never won the Grey Cup under an NDP government, so we can't blame the team. Blame the dumb politicians! Anyways, I just had to blab about that for a bit because I know you care so much about the CFL. :D

So I didn't have an extremely busy week or anything. I had several big tests in school (I think I got, well, average on them :\), and had several headaches, and started piano theory. I really should have started it ages ago, but never got around to it.

It's weird. I have such a hard time dragging myself out of bed at 6:00a.m. most mornings (I'm a very heavy sleeper.) but yet I never do getting up at say, weird hours. Like this morning I've been up since 5. I actually do some of my best work at the hours of 2a.m. to 5a.m. Go figure... Anyways. Forget it, eh?

After having this bad cold for almost a week, I'm pleased to announce that it is almost gone. I attribute this sucess to breathing lots of steam from the portable kettle, and drinking 50+ cups of cranberry tea. I never want to see another cup of cranberry tea.

Now for my expose on politics. And if you don't like my political views, too bad. You can't skip this to the end to find out about my rockin' ri togetherness weekend. I forbid it!

So, for the provincial election. The socialist NDP'ers (who in the whole bunch, a decent hair cut cannot be found.) got 30 seats and the more refined Saskatchewan Party got 28 seats. I do feel a small amount of sympathy for the Liberals though. Federal Liberals suck, but the provincial leader wasn't that bad. It would have made my day if the SK Party had won the seat that was so close (or all the close seats for that matter. Yeah, that would have been a way too much to hope for.) and if the Libs had gotten at least Karwacki in instead of the NDP guy that did. That would have given the SK Party 30, and the NDP 28. :D Even Better that all of this of course, would have been if the SK Party had gotten all 58 seats! Er, right. Just kidding! Saskatchewan was the first place in North America to have a socialist government, so obviously, SK politics suck.

In federal politics... I'm not trying to dis Bono, but really, will him attending the coronation of King Paul Martin (who is 4 years Chretien's junior) give the Libs a younger generation look? Dude, the guy is almost as ancient! (Shall we buy Martin some bug eye glasses? Uh.. NO WAY! I wouldn't give 'em a penny!)

So for the ri togetherness. *bg* It rocked. Need I say more? Yes? Well, ok. Elly went and picked up Rachel Thursday night after her class and got back in the middle of my piano practicing. So we went shopping after supper and stuff. (There's this sweet Garfield ride car at the mall so, being the Garfield nuts that we are, we got one of the ladies selling crafts at the craft show that was going on to take a picture of us piled on top of it.) And when we got back (After having alot of fun, heh, trying to get the oh-so-new-car-door open) we sat around and talked alot. But the morning, being Friday, I had to do school. So they went to tour the town. (I commanded elly to buy me some chocolate marshmallow pumpkins.) And, they bought flip mitts! Ack! Where's mine!?!? I'm still looking for them. So, I get online at break, and they're at the library, so I'm being warned online from across town to not trip going up stairs to go find my flip mitts, or whip elly for eating my chocolate marshmallow pumpkins. (Really!? You idiot!) Did you make sense of that? No? Ok. Suffice it to say I'm eating my last chocolate marshmallow pumpkin right now. I'll cry when it's gone. Nevermind. >_< After lunch Rachel had to go to the venue to set up for the supper. (You know... the reason she was here!) and I did such fun things as getting 100% on my French quiz, and driving people around town. Then elly and I went to the Wycliffe drama theater supper. The play was really cool, and Rachel did not burn any of the meal. It was really cool. Then we picked Rachel up at the early hour of 11 p.m. and sat around eating chocolate marshmallow pumpkins and playing with flip mitts. We also took picture of us eating chocolate marshmallow pumpkins and playing with flip mitts. Oh, and bunnies.. :p Alas, we did not do this all night; she had to leave early, so we got up at 7 and listened to Newsboys on the way down to Macs, got some stuff for her lunch, and then went to the pick-up, where we group hugged and sniffed and stuff... Anyways, she's off. But it was really neat to meet her. You're never sure how things are going to go when it's someone you've only met online or only in writing. (which I've gotten to do 2 times. No wait, 3 times. :D) But this one was definately best. It rocked. No offense anyone! You rock too!

So, I finally finished Driver Ed. Saturday morning, and for the first time in my life, I half messed up one of my parallel parks, but he still gave me a 9. Wow. I hope I can do as well on my road test.

I've now finished eating my last chocolate marshmallow pumpkin. Now I need to go find my flip mitts. :D

Much excitement here!! Riders beat the Bluebombers (what a dumb name) 37:21! Ok, I'm afew days late announcing that, so you all already knew that of course, but it still rocks so hard! And, reason number 2 for being excited. In one day and 29 minutes, Rachel will be here. Man, I'm pumped. We'll see how it goes, but I've got lots of cleaing to do yet. And... I wonder how the provincial election will turn out tonight. I'm rootin' for the Sask Party to dump the old NDP. Will they? I don't know, but I'm watching the live coverage with a bag of popcorn and some Coke. It's better than James Bond. Duh.

The most annoying day of the year is finally over. Sheesh, Halloween annoys me. A bunch of kids dressed up dumb begging for candy in the cold. How lame is that? You want candy? Go buy your own! Anyways, living on an easily accessible street, we picked up elly right after work and went to P.A. for supper to escape the insaness. There, we only got egged once while driving around. Also, yesterday I woke up with one of my famous headaches and a sore throat. Thursday was also an interesting day. I had to go driving with my driver instructor and, get this, he gave me another 9 out of 10 and said I was doing everything great. I thought I did really pathetic. So, it could mean one out of three things, or a combination of all of them. 1. I'm not actually that bad. 2. There are alot of bad drivers out there. or, 3. He was in a good mood. I'll never know. Just 1 more session though, and I'm done! So, when I was walking back from driving, elly was just driving by to somewhere, so I hitch hiked with her and ended up at Extra Foods, where we ran into dad. Dude, we love grocery stores! Uh, I think we're lame. Then, once we got back, mom and 'lil sis were just getting back from wherever, and showed up with a ...pooch. I was not expectiong that. Polly (the cat) and the dog (a german shepherd/ australian border collie/ husky) got along well but was a bit big for the city and did not get along well with the dog next door. (which is a bratty dog.) So, they took it back later. Too bad, it was a nice dog. (and Polly and it matched perfectly; both black with white in exactly the same places) Anyways, that's what I've been up to. Only 5 days 'till Rachel's here!
