Purging whatever's in my brain

Some seriously random bitching and thoughts...leave your brain cells at the door as you read:

- has plastic surgery evolved so far that Dr. 90210 can fix my cankles?

- I finally got my stimulus check. I wasn't stimulated. My bank account will barely feel a heartbeat. It will get sucked into the vortex of all things going OUT of my account.

- speaking of $$, bask in my glory of having paid down my home equity loan $15k in 7 months (see the bottom of this blog page). Do you know how effing hard that was?! That's $15k EXTRA that went towards that effing loan. In addition to the regular loan, bills, and my right arm.

- I went to a baby shower on Saturday and there was a dude there who EXACTLY on the same pulse as me re: all the things that every single guy should be able to do. I was like, "hey so let's talk cars" and he replied "don't get me started, i have a friend who drives a purple jetta". That came after he said "well if me, my girlfriend and two of her friends went somewhere...then yeah of course i'm driving. Even if it means I have to drive my GF's car 'cause it's bigger". DUDE you're a shining star of what a single guy should be.

- According to 20/20, you can go an extra 40 miles on your reserve tank when the gas light goes on. For me, as soon as that light goes on, I freak out. Sweat starts to pour down my face and I act as if I've 30 seconds or else I'll start to sputter right in the middle of the road. I don't want to be the a-hole who's actually stalled in a middle lane on the HIGHWAY with her hazards on.

- When someone displays very bad etiquette to you, what's the proper reply? To call them out on their rudeness, or to still maintain your own level of etiquette, smile, and suck it up?

- It's 10:30pm at night and I'm craving strawberry shortcake. From Bigg's Deli and Bar in Ottawa. I want strawberry shortcake so effing bad right now. The last time I had it, I was at Cheesecake Factory. They served me two hockey pucks with artificial foam and a ghetto strawberry. Effing bastards.

I have more to write, but Kraig's doing the "how much longer are you going to be" schpiel so I gotta split. Stay tuned for part two of random rants on a Monday.

Purging whatever's in my brain – part 2 added the next day

Unless you're rocking the super long hair look (and really, I only one guy who can pull that off, Sebastian Bach from Skid Row), short hair on a guy is a MUST. That also includes when it grows all nasty on the back of the neck because you decided to wait a few more weeks before cutting. Ugh. Can't stand that. Short and preppy is the way to go (not to be confused with super SUPER almost shaved hair...unless you're playing sports all summer and need it that short for logistical reasons or you're in the military, please don't do that...chicks dig hair too)

after the age of 17, it is never ever cool to just make out at someone's house in front of people. Not the same as getting drunk in college, but no one's got a “house” in college (5 people renting one doesn't count as one person havint a house).

I'm wearing these super cute black shiny patent heels that are almost identical to ANOTHER pair of black shiny patent heels, except these ones have double straps. Which is how I justified getting them. They're crazy high and hurt like a biotch but DAMN they're adorable.

After a discussion with someone (who will remain anonymous to protect the innocent), I have to agree: really, REALLY, there's only one type of female that can pull of jean/denim skirts: super duper thin ones. Thus unless you're 12 years old...or you're 25 but weigh 90lbs, don't wear them. I've never owned one because I think they're actually ugly, but I also know that unless you're a twig, denim skirts ride up when you sit down and really, REALLY, i don't want to see anyone's underwear.

I think when people build buildings, they purposely eff up the A/C and heating systems so the employees have to suffer forever. I've never, ever worked anywhere where the heating/cooling situation was optimal. It's almost always set up so that one side of the building is forced to freeze while the other size drips in sweat.

Daphne's is so effing awesome. I want to bathe in their tzatziki sauce.

Diet Pepsi addiction is BACK. Bring on the jitters and the withdrawal headaches. And the teeth staining. Sigh. I'll go back to Fresca eventually.

I hate it when i see a guy who's calves are smaller than mine (I don't have small calves, but I expect every guy alive to have bigger ones than mine unless he's got cancer or something).

I love Trina Decker's hairstyle on Swing town:


I'm thinking if i cut my hair in the next short while, that's how I would do it.

You have cankles???

Alberta gave out these checks to folks because they had a surplus and although that's really nice, I don't ever want to hear about Alberta wanting more Equalisation Pay from the government. Did you buy a can of Diet Pepsi with your stimulus money? :)

I don't know how you managed that equity loan but great job!!!

Ok so we've established that your friend's boyfriend is an anomoly and that he needs to grow a pair of balls and take a BBQ cooking lesson. Other than not wanting to BBQ, did he have a good reason why he won't do it? I think there's a reason.

I have a friend that wouldn't ever let his car go past half a tank of gas. It was funny and he'd actually start to get a little panicky about it. Great time making fun of him.

How do you mean bad etiquette, I have a pretty high tolerance for it but that also means I will make fun of it later either behind that person's back or at a later date to that person's face. :)

Pssst, Sabina, there's only one Bigg's Deli and Bar now. :( I haven't been there in ages.

Ya I don't get the long hair thing on guys or the short Prison break baldness/buzz cut. I think it's just because the guys are too lazy to do anything with their hair.

Actually I've seen a lot of jean skirts this summer so far and yes a lot of them are on super skinny women and teenagers but I think it works depending on what style the woman is trying to go for. I think it's ok for bumming around on weekends for instance.

People our age make out in front of other people in other people's houses?! I can't remember the last time I've seen that happen and I've thrown my share of house parties. :) Great idea for a theme party... Wait, no that's called an Orgy or Swingers party.

Didn't those shoes hurt your feet?

I think it's old buildings that have issues with their HVAC systems, I'm hoping newer buildings don't but ya I hear ya.

Bathe in tzatziki sauce???? Gross

Guys calves smaller than yours? Is the guy a an oompa-loompa?

I like your hair long but Trina's hair is nice.
