whats new?

What isnt?

I made it! 22, alive and kicking! Got my hair done by AT, shorter than Ive ever had it.
Party at work, cake and cookies, then home for a classic dutch dinner with the family, curry fried rice and Kroepoke (sp?), Kroeketts (also Sp?) and salad.. Angelfood cake.. I think angel food cake was designed to be eated with your hands, no matter how hard you try or what type of knife you use, you cant cut it... SO tasty though...
You know your a grown up when a set of Lagostina pots is the 'Best Birthday Present EVER!!'

Spent Saturday night with J. He took me out for African food, love the Blue Nile. He loaned me a new Haruki Murakami.

Job interview today. It ended up being just me and my boss and another woman I work with. I thought there would be a union rep or at least my office manager. They emailed me the interview questions on friday. I had the whole weekend to review them. I typed out the anwers and was more than ready for the interview. I still dont interview well. Im still not qualified. The other person who was interviewing was late. I dont know the story with that but still... They said I should get the call within the next day or two... Or not...

The boss asked for my refernences, I dont really have any local refrences I told her. She told me to give them from my previous employer and a couple mentors from my current place of employment. I didnt know I could do that. So I asked the two ladies who have been saying 'I cant wait till you get the job' and used them.

Nothing more I can do but wait, I have done all I can. In the next few days we shall see, if I have a job or if I will be looking for employment.

Still, you impressed me. Thanks for that! Lesson learned.

After Dark

'you know what I think?' she says. 'That peoples memories are maybe the fuel they burn to stay alive. Whether those memories have any actual importance or not, it doesn't matter as far as the maintenance of life is concerned. They're all just fuel. Advertising fillers in the newspaper, philosophy books, dirty pictures in a magazine, a bundle of ten-thousand-yen bills: when you feed 'em to the fire, they're all just paper. The fire isn't thinking, 'oh this is Kant,' or 'Oh this is the Yomiuri evening edition,' or 'Nice tits' while it burns. To the fire, they're nothing but scraps of paper. It's the exact same thing. Important memories, not-so-important memories, totally useless memories: there's no distinction-they're all just fuel.'

Haruki Murakami. I love this author. I can't get enough of his writing. There is always something...

Finally had a day to myself. Its been ages. I spent the entire morning curled up on the swing in the sun reading. It was great.

Spent the afternoon getting T set up for University. Shes excited. but by the end of it I wanted to scream. Ive done my fair share of time in retail. I know the way things work. Im not about to say that it isnt hard dealing with customers and all that but it doesnt take a great deal of intellect. Today it seemed like everywhere we went the staff was painfully slow and seriously incompetent. It gets to a point for me where I just want to jump over the counter and do it myself.

I will have the house mostly to myself for the week. N and the Parents are going sailing. It would be great to spend a week on the boat but it will be better to spend the week without a house full of people (except for T but shes ok).

I do miss you. Just so you know...

The last few weeks?

I got to go see my girlfriend, helped her move to her new place...we went to comox, and coombs and I took the train home...I missed her so much!!

I went to coombs again this weekend, saw the market and the parrot sanctuary, Iwanted to see the butterfly gardens too but I ran out of time... the birds always blow my mind... the way they show so much affection... so much love. I never thought about birds that way... that they would need as much love and attention as cats or dogs... they can be so sweet...

Had dinner with D, I miss her and H and JH so much! we had a great dinner, great little spot Im going to have to spend some more time at! on fifth or off fifth or something like that... we had a great visit... never long enough though!
