Shinanigans that ended in .... Vancouver?

HAHAH!

Well let me start off by saying Im a crack induced camillion that really needs to be put down.

Now that that's out of the way...I will continue.

I started out the day, well, by waking up in the day. Not the morning, no no. I had apparently decided that I wasnt going to wake up until 2pm. I didnt like that decision. But it was something I had no control over. I woke up at 8am and was like mm I get to sleep in a bit longer. By a bit longer I guess that meant 6 hours. Whoops. Though I guess I needed it. The night before I had only gotten 4 hours sleep, 5am-9am. Good times! :D So back to today. I showered and got myself together and picked up Sally and we went and saw "Hide and Seek" Ohhhh good movie. Scurry! but good. I love Dakota Fanning, she is so adorable and SO talented. We went to Richmond Riverport. That was the 1st offical time I was driving on the highway! hahah. Im such a loser, but it was good! After the movie I didnt want to go home, so our shinanigans ended up in Vancouver. We're like "hmm whats this exit thinger......Vancouver...SWEET!" So off we were to Vancouver! It was definetly a fun adventure considering I have no sense of direction and we were in Vancvouer, "hum dee dum, lets turn...HERE!" (keeping in mind as well that we had less then a quarter tank) We ended up I really couldn't tell ya where, so we found Granville St. somehow and scooted outta there! But I can officially say that I have driven to Vancvouer. I love having dayz off, cause shinanigans can be had!! And ohhh where they had tonight let me tell you!!

Tomorrow I hope to accomplish getting to the gym. I have been meaning to for about a week now, that and the bank. Bank and gym. Bank and gym. Bank and gym. If I tell myself this now, ahead of time, then I will end up doing it. RIGHT!

IM GOING TO INSTALL MY iTRIP! MAYBE I'LL WORK NOW!! I've put off doing this for like 3 weeks. It will be done now. Happy peanut???? HAPPY?!?!?

It's 2:06am and Im buzzed on decaf coffee. BAH! I'll never wake up!

Bloggin' before bed

Can't forget about my blogging duties!

Today was kinda long, and roughish, and just blehish. I didnt get to sleep last night till 430am, ugh. Then woke up at like noon. I dont like sleeping in that late. I was in a dead sleep but my mom had called to tell me she would be home a bit later, cause the car wouldnt go in park. For frick sakes, what NOW? She gets home and informs me that, yes, brilliant Fiddy took the car last night to go drink and came home with no nubbin thing to switch the gears, and puke everywhere! Like..what THE hell? It was a horrible sight, and with the emergency break already broken, you have to park on a flat surface in neutral and pray that the car doesnt roll away into oblivion. Of course I had to take it to work a few hours after my mom got home (after no luck at our machanics to get the piece) I already feel unsafe driving that car as is, and now I can't put the thing in park?! Boija. It'd be different if maybe he felt the least bit bad about it or if he was apologizing, but yeah right. He was having a grand ol' time telling his buddies what had happened " yeah man! it came off!" ... "OMG I think that is what I hit!....DOPE!!" and MY car this, MY car that. Umm, hello? No license? He came to me the other day and asked if I needed to be dropped off anywhere, I was like, "Im sorry, what?" ... "Well Brea, we have to SHARE the car now." Has he gone nuts?? (dumb question) Is he on drugs?? (dumber question) I just dont know anymore. I did make it to work and parked infront of those metal barrier's to ensure the car would stay put if it chose to move forward. I got off work a bit early cause it was uber dead and came home and grabbed my dad's car (who's transmission is going) and continued with my night, which was a good one.

Still no word from my boo. I may have to just do some stealing of my own, or get rid of the problem, either one!

But bed beckons. Hopefully tonight will be better for sleeping then last night. And I think it's safe to say who's heaven dollars (if any) have been converted to Hell Nickels!

(Ohh starting a sentance with both a "but" and an "and"...how scandalous of me!)

Somewhere Only We Know

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I Suggest you all get this song by Keane - Somewhere Only We Know. There's a nice sample for yaz.

So anyways... I was on call today for work, but they didn't call. I got my day off! W00t. So I slept till forever and was really lazy for the whole day!! I kinda like days like that, nice and relaxed, and I got some cleaning done. The laze started to catch up to me about 7pm so I went to the gym to de-laze my self! It was good times, worked up a nice sweat. Had lots of time to reflect on things.

I HAVE NOT SPOKEN TO MRISS FOR 3 WEEKS! What's the deal with that?!?! I miss her greatly! Rich has like perma stollen her! I want her back dammit.

Im listening to Forever Young by Rod Stewart. My mom used to always play this for us when we were little. Whenever she hears it now she cries. Ahh what would I do without her. We were kinda talking about that the other day. She was saying if the situation were to present itself, she would take her life over ours in a heart beat. I dont think I could let her do that! haha. Either we both go at the same time, or NO one goes. I ain't gonna live without her, and she ain't gonna live without me, yah hear that God? ;) Hmm, I wonder if that would result in the loss of some Heaven Dollars? I hope not! Those dollars are valuable and worth a pretty penny!

I did have a really weird dream last night that for some reason my dad had died. I just remember having that feeling like "wow, hes not here anymore" and Mriss was with me. I was in a kitchen cooking, then I started to tell her that he had passed, and I started balling and she hugged me. Then I was outside and white duck feathers were falling from the sky like rain and choking me. I have thee oddest dreams. I like em' though, I believe it adds character:P

I wish time would reverse itself, or just stand still for a while. We all have stuff to do and want to do but always say there's no time for it. Well..this way we could get things done! Would THAT affect Heaven Dollars? If not...sign me up! What is the exchange rate of these "dollars"? Can we trade "Hell Nickels" for "Heaven Dollars"? Trade in 5 Hell Nickels for 1 Heaven Dollar? I'll have to do some research!

I think thats enough rambling from this brook for tonight. Here's to crazy and wacky dreams! I'll prolly dream about like Harry Potter or something. I watched "The Chamber of Secrets" like 2wice today...cause I am awesome and don't you forget it.

"Aaahhmm gonna kick your ass Marlon Brando!" - Kenny Rogers to Rosie O'Donnell

Ohh Kenny Rogers....is there anything you can't do??

After all that laughter, we decided to go for a nice beach walk. It was purdy and not too cold. Played on the ol' haunted playground with the Corn Children - it's ok, they don't bite hard. There sure are pretty houses along that strip. I couldnt resist turning around and looking at the glow of all the house lights as we walked, of course I wasn't paying too much attention as to what was infront of me, (a metal garbage bin) which I so gracefully collided into. D'oh. Luckily, only everyone saw. It's ok...I have gel nails..that's gotta make up for the clumsy right? Right.

Time for some sleep. My feet got all blistery from the walk cause of course the beach is made of rusty nails, so there is no avoiding the blisters. Good times.

A hooch cow eh?

Thanks to whoever said that. Calling me a cow and a hooch really brightened my day. Too scared to say who you are? That's what I thought.

Beautiful Thinking...

...I have not seemed to get that out of my head. It's stuck with me all day. To me, it's so discriptive and such an elegant way of putting it. Beautiful Thinking.

Sunday night I got to catch up on my sleep. I loved every sleeping minute of it. I didnt wake up until 1pm *GASP* the next morning. I was dee-frickin-lighted. I lounged for the day, then waited for my dad to get home so I could take the car out. Me and my buddy ol' pal went to London Drugs and I got iTrip for my poddy! It's so cute! (I have yet to name it) It fits snug as a bug in a rug and has really good reception. Only in my dads car though. I wanted to get my eyebrows waxed afterwards, but they closed at 6pm, and it was like 730pm by the time we got outta there, but thats ok. I was delighted enough by the iTrip that I didnt care how much my eyebrows resembled that of the bushes outside my house. From then on, till 230am actually, I had the best time. It must have been the atmosphere or the company, but it was different, a cool different. It was enjoyable. When I got home at 3am, I was like "omg, I have to wake up soon for work" hahaha. But I didn't care.

Today at work was not too bad. So exhausting though. I came home more tired then usual with a huge freaking headache. I was pretty much by myself the whole day. It was pretty freaking dead. LauraLee was upstairs for a good chunk of time filing, so I was left in charge of things downstairs, mwahaha. Of course, as soon as she left, a flood of people came in and I had a line up within 3 and a half seconds. It was fine though. It just sucks dealing with the people and having to answer the switchboard and directing their calls to various places. The customers don't seem to mind hearing you ramble about it though. Tee hee.

I want to get a good sleep tonight and get rid of my headache. I can breath properly now, ribs still a bit sore, but I can take a deep breath now, so all is well;) I really really wanted to see Sara tonight and watch Spongebob, but my head was going to implode and my eyes couldnt stay open, and the thought of the cold made my tears freeze. Waking up at 9pm tomorrow will be nice, and a change. I dont mind the mid day shifts, at all. The closing ones tend to suck a bit, but what can ya do? I like it there.

Sunday is our staff Christmas party, (yeah, a bit late, but it was too crazy before Christmas to have one) It's at some restaurant in Langley, should be funners! I think on Thursday Im gonna go shopping for something to wear. Something purdy and party like.

I REALLY need to get my freaking hair done. Im going to call Thursday maybe and see if I can get in there when I have a day off. What's the number for "The Head Room"..anyone?...anyone?

Im going to bed now, stop babbling Brea, your brook is tired.

Coming down...

Finally coming down from these few days of craziness.

We took Steffers to the airport today, without tears I might add - we did good. Im such a baby when it comes to people leaving places, Im no robot! I felt the knot in my throat coming when Stef was taking out her boarding pass from that jazzy machine thing. We hugged our goodbyes and walked away, having the memories circulating in my head, thinking "if you cry you f***er, your nose will get red, DONT DO IT" ... if that's not reason enough to not cry, I dont know what is;) This was all before 830am.

Thinking not to cry sure makes a person hungry. John, Sara and I decided some breakfast was in order. IHOP is always a nice place to go. My country omlette did the trick and all the other stuff that comes along with it. There was this cutest little girl there, a mere baby, and she was dressed in pink so that drew my attention right away. Im going to be one of those crazy mommies who dress their girl's in pink. MAYBE we'll get matching outfits and make people cry with disgust. I know one person who will...(cry with disgust)

After I got home, I was like "omg, I feel like death" So I layed in bed for a bit and fell asleep until I was awakened by the phone. It was my boo. Mriss was at work and she wanted to chat. I love it when it's dead at work, you get to use the switchboard(the phone) to your advantage! Anyway, she was going out with her friend Sam and wanted me to meet him. So we went out to Abbotsford to the theatres there and saw White Noise. Creepy movie, not really what I was expecting, don't think I'd see it again. I give it a C++

Im kinda workin backwards here on my days and whats been going on. But I feel the need to fill you people in, because I have been recieving complaints on my lackage of blogage.

Friday Night. Memorable. *rolls eyes* I seem to recall falling down Stef's flight of stairs in her home. My ribs are all out of place and limp ath a glove, preventing me to breath properly, hurts like a son-of-a. Im hoping the sharp pain that goes up my neck and down my arm when I breath in goes away soon. If not, a nice visit to the doctor should be in order. I also passed out in her kitchen, not "mm im tired" pass out, rather, "Guys I feel...like Im going to pass out"...4...3...2..1...out cold. When I came to, I was on my side and remember feeling really scared. Stef and John were at my side. They're good folk. Learn from this kids. If you feel unsure of something, listen to that gut of yours, don't feel you need to do things to impress others or go out of your way to make them happy if it could result in you getting hurt. It'll blow up in your face the next day.

Mmm so thats Friday. Saturday morning was freaking tough to get up for work. ( That sentence really isn't too "grammnatical" but I think you all are capable of knowing what I mean) Needless to say I was not a chipper monkey at work like I usually am - they all noticed - I got comments. I got my dad to drive me into work, I was in no shape to operate heavy machinery. Car = heavy machinery. I wish my till at work = "heavy machinery". I wonder if I could fight that? I'll work on it;) When my day was over, I was relieved. That night John, Stef and I went to dinner. Yum. We had called Sara and Ashlee, but they were both quite under the weather, so they played it smart and stayed in. We went back to Stef's afterwards and realized "shit, the driveway is a lot slipperier (sp?) coming down then it is up" when we had to go back out. It took us I'd say about 10 mins to get the car turned around and situated so it didnt hit the brick wall. Mind you, were were turning the car around with our own hurcules strength. John was in the car navigating the steering while Stef and I pushed the Impala away from the brick wall turning it around to face to road. The three of us also had to do some body checking to get the car to cooperate. What a stubborn Impala:P Though I think it sensed it was in trouble and if it were human, would have been quivering like a frightened kitty, meowing and hissing. Lord knows it sure was hissing

So really. Im beat. I just finished a breve latte from Starbucks and Im hoping it doesnt interfere with my sleeping ability, although Im sure it will smite me. Im excited to sleep in my own bed tonight, though I really cant complain on what I WAS sleeing on. Stef's king size bed in the guest room is heavenly. Even with two people sleeping in it feels like you have to write them a letter and send it express if you want to say something. Its great, I love it.

So Stef..thanks for all the friggin great times. I really hope you'll come back and see us. You make it complete when yer here. I promise to practice the geetar, so when you DO come back, I can show off (ha!) *Plays G, C, D, and Am chords over and over...and over*

Cheers

*Jeez, I started writing this at 1024pm, way to go me* Though I suppose I was doing some other stuff as well, but still, thats ... yeah. Good-friggin-night.

Songs and babble

So, I just wrote a song. I had all these feelings so I thought I'd put it in song form. It's my first song, (if you can even call it that) so it, you know, sucks:P It does have some the chorus and some the bridge and all that jazz, but yeah, it felt nice. Came out nice and clear. Before I've always tried to write stuff, but nothing was really doin the trick. I think I've come to the point of feeling something for a while that it just came out like a nice lyrical burp, a belch if you will.

On another note. It is snowing very nicely. I got in about an hour ago and slid perfectly into the driveway, ruining NOTHING, *gives self gold star* I listened to my iPod the way home shrieking at the top of my lungs. Huzzah for it being dark and snowy allowing no one to see into one's vehicle, or hear what's being "sung" (shrieked) in one's vehicle.

Don't really feel like typing anymore. So I am going to relax in my comfy cozy bed and watch the snow fall. MMMMMM.

*whistles*

As I sit here smiting Mr. Atkins yet again, I thought "crap, I haven't been blogging" ... so I am taking it upon myself to indulge in some writting. Just for you.

Wow, crazy long time. So Im not a raging biological weapon anymore...well...thats a lie. I am, but you can't tell as much now:P Anti-biotics cleared me right up and out. Luckily it was gone by Christmas, so no one mistakened me for a man. Wait, thats a lie too;) Christmas was so great. You know when you are little and you ask for a pony? Usually, one never gets one. I did not ask for a pony mind you. I asked for something that might as well have been a pony. I asked for a pink mini iPod. Totally out of our range, just put it there for fun at first, thinking "ha! yeah right" but then I started thinking, "omg, I really want one" so I pushed for it...a little;) I had some help as well...thanks John:P After making a nice plea and coloring my christmas list (that really only had that on it) with pink eyeshadow and black eyeliner, I was sure my parents thought I was on some sort of drug. I was. The apple drug. My mom is so good at sounding disapointed. "awww, no, sorry hunny, we just...cant" is what I heard from the moment I asked for it, to the moment on Christmas day...when....YES! I opened my last present that they had stashed away upstairs so it looked like there was nothing left, and discovered that I was now the proud owner of a pink mini iPod. It was so cool. They stashed it in a rectangular box with tissue everywhere. My heart was beating as I tore away the paper thinking "omg, could it be?" ... "no, they didnt" ... "did they?" ... "how could they? Brea, dont be retarded" ..... *GASP* .... There she was, all in her glory. *It's a 'she' cause 'she's' pink* I shouted "NO WAY!!!" and put it right on the charger so I could use it right when I got back from Christmas dinner, which was very nice:) (The dinner)

Boxing Day....a whole 'nother story. I had to be a work at 6am ... for 13 hours. It was insanity. 13 hours ringing through costomer after costomer. Good thing I know what Im doing, or else I would have been killed *breathes* by the a&b nazi's. Though I really enjoy it there. It's fantabulous. Then I worked everyday after that (including everyday before that, excluding Christmas Day). Because of that I got New Years off:) Yay. Which was a blast, nice and radical. No one ever uses that word anymore. Radical. I shall use it more often!

I now have a few days off, which I am SO delighted by. By the last day I am going to be like *sob* "what is my purpose in life???...what is going ON???" After having just one day off, you feel like you've missed SO much, and its like a foreign place and you feel that they've changed everything and you feel alien-ish. But then you realize that you are a moron and nothing has changed, in fact, you are still talking about the same stuff you were when you were there a week and a half ago. *good sigh*

I hope this little amount of blogging has sufficed some of you, and if not, well, pin a rose on YOUR freaking nose:)
