Ring the Bell for Service

princess_rennie@hotmail.com — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 21:28:31 GMT

Grrr!!!!!! My stupid cell phone company charged me for two months of pictures sending service! I specifically asked when I would have to cancel by to only pay one month and they told me Dec 9th, and then I cancel on Nov 30th, and it turns out that the guy on the phone didn't know what the heck he was talking about and I was supposed to cancel by Nov 27th! AND, I can't even use the extra month of service because my cell phone battery is so bad it won't last through taking one photo or making one phone call. Grr! If I wasn't gonna switch phone companies before, I certainly am now.

Secondly, I'm kinda exhausted from having 7 opening shifts in a row, and tomorrow was supposed to be my first day off after that, but I just got a call from the 17th Starbucks, asking if I could work the opening shift tomorrow. I said 'no' and then she begged me to go, and I finally gave in. *Sigh* At least I talked her into giving me the later shift (9:30am) and forcing someone else to switch to the opening (5:15am).

Nothin's Gonna Change My World...

princess_rennie@hotmail.com — Sun, 24 Jun 2007 07:11:24 GMT

Oh my goodness. It's He-Man! That's the cartoon hercules-like man I've been thinking of! Thank you Pazsaz Entertainment Network! Anyways, if you have no idea who I'm talking about, check this out:

http://www.he-man.org/cartoon/cmotu/index.shtml

On other news, sometimes people at work make me happy and sometimes they make me sad. I really take every little thing to heart, even though I know most of the time it has nothing to do with me. Our cash register ran out of 5 and 10 dollar bills, so all we had to give people for change was toonies and loonies, and so this lady picked out her stuff and we wrapped it and everything and then I told her that all we had was toonies for change and she was just like: "That's stupid! Well, I don't want it anymore. Give me my money back." And then she huffed off. I was slightly stunned at how angry she was about having to carry a few extra toonies. And then one of the butchers was just like: "You lost a sale because she didn't want change?" And I'm pretty sure he didn't really mean to make me feel that bad, but I totally felt hurt...it wasn't my fault, I don't control the change, and she ran off before I could even ask if there was anything else we could do. Later we ended up getting money out of the safe, but considering how angry she got so fast, I'm pretty sure she wouln't have waited for that anyways, so there was really not much I could do, but the fact that the first thing that the butcher said was implying that I did something wrong made me feel really bad.

And then I was talking to the other butcher that handles our schedules because there was a mistake with my hours and he was going on about how much breaktime we get for a certain number of hours and then he was just like: "See today, you were supposed to have a half hour break, but you went from 2:50 to 3:30, but that's ok, I won't take any time off for that." He said this like he was being a good guy and letting me off, but for one thing, I started my break at 3:00, not 2:50, and I came in to work more than 10 minutes early, so I wasn't slacking off at all. It just bugged me that he was acting like he was the good guy but saying that I was doing things wrong at the same time.

So, those things made me feel a little icky. But there were some very nice customers today as well, including a good looking guy that was being really friendly but kept apologizing for causing me trouble. I will totally go out of my way to help people if they're nice about it.

But of course, I always remember the bad parts of the day the most, which sucks. So overall the work-day seemed icky.

The night market was fun, but I just needed to express the things that were bugging me.

Lost in My Closet

princess_rennie@hotmail.com — Mon, 14 May 2007 21:53:13 GMT

So, I just got facebook-friended by some random Italian guy. And by reading a couple of his wall posts, it looks like he just friended a bunch of random people...but how did he pic me?

Trying to clean my room. It's still got tubs of stuff from res, except now I've emtied the res stuff out, and then rearranged my shelves, and new stuff has appeared in the tubs. Overall, it's still very difficult to walk around in, but I think I'm making progress. There's this open area of floor by the door that feels almost calming now that there aren't random papers and clothes on it. Cleaning my room also gives me the opportunity to listen to CD's that I hardly ever listen to. Like, the old school Celine Dion stuff, or old mix CD's I've made. But it is somewhat of a strange emotional experience, cleaning my room. Some stuff has to be thrown away, or stored somewhere out of the limelight. And all these things I've collected are items that remind me of all my accomplishments and adventures, and letting them go is almost like losing the proof that these things ever happened. That can make me feel sort of empty and like I don't have anything to show for my life. But, holding on to things sometimes creates a comfort zone that gets in the way. It's easy, for me at least, to keep looking back on things I've done before to feel a sense of accomplishment, and not look forward enough to get excited enough to make much happen. So, though it may not seem like much, getting rid of a few things is quite liberating, there's no where to look but forwards.

And finally, who called me today? Bonnie, now I know how you feel with the mystery missed call thing.

Ok...

princess_rennie@hotmail.com — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 02:52:00 GMT

This is probably not going to be an interesting post. I'm bored. Really bored. And tired. Tired too. I edited my quotes section on Facebook so now it's not quite so huge, but I feel like I lost a part of me...even though I saved all the quotes. And...I made hot chocolate cuz it's cold outside. And I drew a picture of my desk and the things on it in pencil crayon and that took about an hour. And...I ate a doughnut. And...some cheese. Did some dishes. Washed the stovetop. Played some solitaire. Do you understand why I'm bored? Bleehhh...I was so happy yesterday...I think I was awake yesterday. ...Poor Hansen. They took a "Nosedive." (I watched a few minutes of much more music.)Ok...

Bleh.

You Are An ENFJ

The Giver

You strive to maintain harmony in relationships, and usually succeed.
Articulate and enthusiastic, you are good at making personal connections.
Sometimes you idealize relationships too much - and end up being let down.
You find the most energy and comfort in social situations ... where you shine.

You would make a good writer, human resources director, or psychologist.

LOL. Some random guy just walked down the street outside my window belting out the Micheal Buble version of "The More I See You." Normally, I'd pin down such street-singers as crazy, but he was actually quite good. I could definitely tell it was the Micheal Buble version. He was scatting and everything. So, he still might be crazy, but he's crazy talented too.

Getting up at 7am again sucks. I tried to go to bed early last night (~10:30), but for some reason I woke up at 3:30am again. I still felt better than Tuesday. I almost felt good this morning for class, but when I got back to my room, I kind of ended up sitting and staring at the wall for a bit. And then once that 8am class is done, I don't have another class until 2pm, so I'm zoned out for a good 4 hours.

Ok, time for lunch.

Please close your eyes and the feeling will soon pass

princess_rennie@hotmail.com — Mon, 08 Jan 2007 03:21:01 GMT

Does anyone else feel sick? This isn't just me almost getting a cold. I mean, does anyone feel slightly nauseous about going back to school? It really just hit me. Good old denile only works up to a certain point. Darn it. I was getting so used to doing nothing. And I have to go back to living at UBC. It has it's perks, but it's definitely lonely without my parents and my dog.

...hopefully this feeling will soon pass. If only closing my eyes worked for this kind of nausea.

Oh yeah

Are Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe still together? For some reason I thought that they were torn apart by the hurricane of breakups that's been sweeping Hollywood, but they seemed pretty darn married at the Golden Globes.

Strange things are happening...

princess_rennie@hotmail.com — Wed, 23 Nov 2005 01:15:52 GMT

I accidentally got a pen up my sleeve.

princess_rennie@hotmail.com — Thu, 04 Aug 2005 23:00:51 GMT

Wow...I feel like a have a faint echoing of a headache. Perhaps it's the slightly hotter than I'm used to heat. Perhaps it's lack of eating....There's a klondike bar in the freezer...I was gonna save it for after I ate something more healthy, but I'm thinking the coolness might actually be good for me right now. Yeah....don't like feeling out of it...

But I've been playing lots of guitar and I think I'm getting better, unfortunatly 2 of the songs I've learned are a little low for me to sing so it's hard to sing...but they're pretty songs...so....ih.

Yup, going for that Klondike bar.

A plain old Wednesday night.

Merry Christmas and a happy Darth Vader head lucky charm to all.

Oops, I did it again.

princess_rennie@hotmail.com — Wed, 29 Jun 2005 19:31:28 GMT

K, what the heck is with me. I've started crying again. It's not really a sad cry, it's just weird. Thank you letters are so emotional. Holy crap. I feel so funny. I'm laughing at myself crying here. Oh well. K, i'm starting to miss people already. Bonnie and Melissa. Where are you? k, need some Kleenex.

I felt fine yesterday...

princess_rennie@hotmail.com — Wed, 29 Jun 2005 01:13:24 GMT

Hey, so the local anesthetic has worn off and now my knee's starting to hurt more. I can put weight on it because they had to take the piece of cartilage out. But I kind of hurts when I put weight on it right now. I do have tylenol 3, but I can't really tell if it's working or not. My right nostril and my throat both sort of hurt, so i think they stuck a tube up my nose and down my throat. Getting a bruise on my hand from the IV, but that doesn't hurt, so that's good.

I'm pretty bored though. I'm not really a sitting around doing nothing kind of girl. TV is pretty boring, although I did watch some of Chocolat with Johnny. And Canadian Idol should be one tonight. Hmm...k, yeah, starting to hurt more. Maybe I'll go put it up again. I don't like this being waited on thing. I can't decide what I want. "Do you want a drink?" says dad. Answer: "Maybe."

Yeah, well, gonna go sit around for another while. Bye for now.

I may have forgotten something....but what?

princess_rennie@hotmail.com — Mon, 27 Jun 2005 04:42:21 GMT

K, so I kind of forgot about the actual surgery part. I've been thinking about the before and the after of it, but I kinda haven't really thought about the fact that there's a doctor sticking a probey thing inside my knee and he's gonna be cutting stuff and moving it around and so many lovely other things. And I'm gonna have to be drugged asleep. I've never gone unconcious not under my own will before. This is creepy. I'll probably have to wear one of those trendy hospital gowns too. Fun. And I still have a tiny bit of a cough from my cold and you're not supposed to have a cold going into surgery...

I love Dashboard Confessionals. (smiling)

Joy to the world, my music's back...

princess_rennie@hotmail.com — Sat, 25 Jun 2005 07:00:50 GMT

...let Jacob sing his songs...and what about the Dashboard? it's back (and I can't think of a rhyme).

Holy fricken gosh! I'm so happy. I got my Jacob, my Dashboard, my Keith Urban! Now I'm feeling all that end of school nostalgia. This music reminds me of the nights talking on msn and trying to do homework at the same time. Awww....I feel all warm inside. It's amazing what good music can do. Wow...so happy! And now I feel the sadness. School is now a fond memory. Awww...holy gosh! Afternoon Delight! HA!

Well, thanks to Jesse and his computer skills, I've got my music and my msn. I think Derek sort of helped too, so thanks to both of them.

Wow, that was actually a pretty cool "crashing" at my house. There's a pretty huge mess of magazines and dvd's, but that's cool. I've got a lot of time on my hands. YAY! It's summer! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! YAAAAY! Holy crap, I could go on msn! Except no one is on msn....who cares?! I don't! La la la la la.

Oh my gosh! All American Rejects! Swing swing! AAAAAAAA! So much music!

K, well I gotta go to sleep soon. Big day at IKEA tomorrow! YAY!

Subdued, sounds like "some dude", but said with a cold...

princess_rennie@hotmail.com — Thu, 14 Apr 2005 01:00:31 GMT

k, so I forgot to mention that on Monday, along with all the other tv, I watched some of Robin Hood:Men in Tights too. It was pretty funny...same guy from Princess Bride. I wonder what's happened to that guy, haven't seen him in any movies lately.

I got to use these water colour crayons today in art. They were really nice. Mrs Foster said that they cost 300 dollars for the set, so I felt special. And I also got to see Mrs. Foster the most mad I've ever seen her. There was a girl in our class who always sits at the back and doesn't do her art stuff, so Mrs. Foster told her to sit at the front of the class, but the girl wouldn't do it, so there was this whole argument in front of the class and I'm proud of Mrs. Foster for not backing down...so the girl eventually just stormed off out of the room and Mrs. Foster said sternly, "Don't come back!" It was very awkward, but I kind of like how Mrs. Foster is not letting people walk all over her (as much) anymore.

Other than that, today was rather uneventful, quite peaceful really. That sounded very British in my head.

Listening to a lot of sappy-ish music lately. It makes me happy. Got some Keith Urban, Micheal Buble, stray songs off tv shows that I track down and download, and even some Harry Potter soundtrack (I recommend Hedwig's Theme).

Lots of TV and no computer for a day...just like old times

princess_rennie@hotmail.com — Wed, 13 Apr 2005 03:27:52 GMT

YAY! English test is done. Sadly, I don't feel that relieved...but a little. Anyways...I actually had a nice evening yesterday, partly because I tried very hard not to think about english at all. I watched weekenders...The Crevasse! It was my favourite episode. I love the crevasse. Yeah, then I watched a little Dr. Phil, then Oprah. Then I ate and did some calculus. Then I watched that 70's show...then 2 hours of Summerland, which I've never watched before, but it was really good. Yeah...so I was pretty much ready for bed by 10:15-ish and then I read and went to sleep. So it was a rather pleasant evening, got to bed slightly earlier than normal...everthing was good except the ominous thought of my english test.

...As of now, I'm doing some more calculus...I should do some of my english project...the All Quiet on the Western Front...quote with illustration thing...just putting it off 'til the last minute, like always...

I got excited there a couple hours ago when I thought ANTM was on tonight...but then I realized it's not. All that's on is American Idol...the people are really crappy. Well...they're not completely crappy, their just bad enough that you feel sorry for them.

I got to read more...reading is fun...I recommend it to everyone. I keep saying this like it's a new thing, but I haven't done a lot of reading before and I'm on a roll.

Yeah...I hope this wasn't as boring to you as it seems to me. Good ol' Crevasse...

Just me again...

princess_rennie@hotmail.com — Thu, 07 Apr 2005 04:37:04 GMT

K, not totally depressed. After I wrote my lj yesterday I did a bunch...or at least some of my CAPP project and felt much better. And now I feel good because I got through a calculus quiz and english essay today...and I got pizza at lunch...but apparently I missed some interesting things in the gym, but...pizza....although I didn't get a juice box, now I feel gypped. Well...I got to watch ANTM. Not bad. Now I must try to do some more work. Ahhh...the power of cheese...(just felt like saying that). That reminded me of that DQ commercial where the kid throws the basketball at his dad's face...spontaneous laughter...

Depressing stuff sucks

princess_rennie@hotmail.com — Wed, 06 Apr 2005 03:37:44 GMT

Crap, in a procrastinating mood again...it's not really a mood, it's more just a state of being...k,I'm just making up crap now.

Yeah, so I hate writing Essays and letters. It all seems so fake that I can't tell if it's good or just stupid, maybe it's both. And now I'm just getting frustrated and can't get myself to write more, so I just have a few half done things that I don't have the motivation to finish. This sucks. It stresses me out to know what I still have to do, but the stress is making it impossible to think, so I leave it, and then get more stressed out.

This just sounds depressing. I have something gross instead. My dog threw up and then came back and ate it. There.

K, well the book I'm reading, Airframe by Michael Crichton, is good. I feel like I'm just escaping into books now...yeah.

Oh! I just saw a commercial for the OC! It looks so good! ...unfortunately it will be the last night before the CAPP projects are due and I'll probably be rushing to get that done...depressing stuff sucks. Everything sounds like it sucks. And I thought I was an optimist

princess_rennie@hotmail.com — Sat, 19 Mar 2005 02:18:35 GMT

Hey, so mostly I just wanted to write this because of the song that's been stuck in my head all day (written above). I like the song, although the outfit she wears in the video has things hanging in all the wrong places.

Yeah...now I have to note that my dad was lying on the couch and my dog just jumped on him and walked across him...yeah, that's my dog.

Oh yeah...and Ender's Game is good so far, though I've only read 3 chapters.

So what's the difference between 'though', and 'although'...just pondering that. In my last sentece...k, the one before that, I wrote 'though'...and then suddenly realized that I could have used 'although'. Quite a dilemma...ok, not really.

So, I have to look for scholarships...I don't know where to start...I've heard there's a website or something...haven't found proof. I've also heard that there's stuff in the counselling office, which ,now, I can't go to for 2 weeks. And there's a list of scholarships on this 86% club sheet, but I don't know where to find info on those...maybe it was in the councelling office... I guess my other option is to just randomly search for stuff....

But for today...as I do every Friday, I'm not doing anything that involves heavy thinking and decision making. Incredibles, here I come!
