"like a comet pulled from orbit, as it passes the sun,
like a stream that meets a boulder, half way through the woods...
who can say if I've been change for the better,
I do believe I have been changed for the better...
Because I knew you...
Because I knew you...
I have been changed for good..."
Your one of the strongest, most independent people I know, and I know you will be amazing in whatever you do. Think of this as an excuse for more shopping trips to toronto...
Love and miss u.

thems the breaks
Another post about work, I promise it will be the last.
To start: I have nothing against smoking/smokers,etc... but here is what I have a problem with.
At my job, apparently we have a set schedule for breaks (this alarm goes and you get a ten minute and a twenty minute over the course of our 8 hour shift). This is fine. However, the smokers at the plant feel they are allowed to take AS MANY smoke breaks as they want, whenever they want.
Again, I understand smoking is an addiction, and might be comparible to me taking a break for a drink of water or a coffee...oh wait the smokers do that too! This I do not understand.
For example, if I was a nympho (another addiction) would I run off to touch myself whenever I felt an urge coming on...no... so why should people be allowed to smoke as they please considering others are forced to follow the rules.
Again, love smokers, but alas, this annoys me when people leave you alone for 10 minutes every hour b/c of their need for a break.
P.S. check out the song "these words of my own" ... I love it!

so these jobs of mine...
I know, posting about jobs is so boring, but in my case I found it amusing...hence the sharing of these stories.
1) there is this guy at my factory named Matty (he is pretty crazy...but the nicest guy ever) anyways, everday he has a crazy story to tell. for example: "the other day, I was in a hurry on my way to the beach, threw on some sunscreen... put some more on later on...when I got home, I was burnt to a crisp... I looked at the bottle, it said 'Off'! can you believe it, I was wearing bug lotion!!" he says as he cringes while trying to show off his red, red shoulders...lol
2) my manager/supervisor is the scottish lady who is the funniest woman I ever met... "go blow it out your pipes" is a common saying of hers...the best is, she watches over myself, and three phillipino guys (named Billy, Benny, and Damon) and they are all constantly fighting...but when the Benny gets mad he can't think of what language to use so he yells all kinds of crazy things such as "you stupid **words I can't understand inserted here**" with the occasional 'and' and 'fuck' here and there...
normally when they are fighting they take two seconds to glance my way to see the giggles...then they both crack up at themselves... I love it...
In other news:
I watched a Bette Midler movie the other day..."big business" not her best, but for some reason made me smile...
I am reverse blogging, stories of the long weekend/tor's b-day will follow!

I found the funniest posting today...
so, here I am scanning through blogs (okay...Rosie O'donnel's again...guilty as charged) and I followed a random link to this girl who is "living in niagra". She posted the funniest thing I have ever seen just about what she hates about people... I have decided to copy and paste it into my blog for u to read.
from the website: lifeinniagara.blogspot.com
9 Things I hate about everyone:
1. People who point at their wrist while asking you for the time... I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?
...5. When People say while watching a film "did you see that?". No loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.
...9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?
I loved it...got me thinking about some things I hate about everyone:
a) the people who press the elevator button after it is clearly lit up...you almost feel like saying "few, maybe now it nows we're serious"
b) when someone answers the phone and you say "hi is 'soandso' there" and they answer "yes"... put it together people, I called to talk to them , not to hang out in awkward silence...
that is all I can think of but as they come, I will post :)

wow...
In the car on the drive home, I looked into the review mirror, and out the front window... it was like seeing the past and future just open, lying there...
Felt weird to step back into perspective, even though it was just a country road...
random...
i might be too stoned for this thought...

I never give this girl enough credit...she is my best friend, idol, and just an amazing person. I have known her for 9 years now and it seems like we met in the grade 4 class room just yesterday... On the eve of her age of majority (thurs!!) I felt the need to post and reflect on just how amazing I am to have a best friend like her...more pics to come... I am in a picture mood :)
