best quote ever

2012-01-12T12:08:00.001-08:00

The way I saw of phrasing this once that made a lot of sense to me is that men and women do have equal reproductive rights, in that they each have the right to make any reproductive decisions they want concerning their own bodies.

Editor's note: New weapon pack for killing floor has come out. They have been out since Wed, I though they came out tomorrow. Damn my friend Geoff for visiting and distrancting me with food and geeky board games.

txts from just now
A: Try the new guns yet?
Me: No :(
A: Cuddles, sorry.
Me: I like you.
A: Like you too.
Me: I like that you understood that my lack of testing new guns translates into needing cuddles.

Also A would probably lose his shit. And I have to live with him.

I seem to recall A crying while asking you out?

I doubt he is a fan of you sleeping with people that are not him. So he would probably be less than pleased if I helped you do that.

me: why'd he be mad at you? if it was such an issue. regardless he said we were 'close friends' whatever that means

Because then he can be mad at me.

Yeah, if he cried about it. I don't think he'd like it. whatever he said .

Doesn't want to fuck me. Easy to be pissed at me.

Me: he said you were a pretty decent lay :P

request for reassurance

2011-02-08T21:34:00.000-08:00

Panzer Pope: there it booted every one on my friends list too.
B_A_D: yeah
Panzer Pope: sorry but if you havent noticed by what i was saying i was refering to being intrested sexually as well. as i said befor i like all of you. i dont know if its comforting, but in the least theres one person out there. and i bet there are others that are just too shy to say so.
B_A_D: Then why doesn't anyone ever want me?
B_A_D: Callan wants to hold my hand.
B_A_D: Zac's ditching me.
B_A_D: you wanted alaurea na draven.
B_A_D: I've never been able to illict want or desire in someone.
B_A_D: I feel it for other people... a lot of people, even people I shouldn't.
Panzer Pope: I have always desired you. i dont express things in words well so i never realy have. and my actions dont speek well either. i have proven that i should not have multipul relations, and thats fine with me. i dont know why i choose alaurea, but in alot of ways i wish i didn't. all i know is that i desire you for you all of it. i just didnt relize how strongly till it was far too late. im sorry for hurting you soo much i just want to make you as happy as i can now.
B_A_D: but yet, it's raven who gets your blood pumping.
B_A_D: like amber gets zac hot
B_A_D: And random acrobat girls get callan
B_A_D: and eric wants raven
B_A_D: etc
Panzer Pope: hun you get it going alot more. im just too afraide to do anything.
B_A_D: dude 4 months of go time to do things.
B_A_D: you did raven.
B_A_D: 6 years before that, never realy into anything
B_A_D: except kinda a little that time with alaurea
B_A_D: and -she- involved me more than you did.
Panzer Pope: thats cause from past experiances whenever i get sexual with you i tend to freak you right out. and it bugs you for quite some time. i dont know where my boundries are, and i dont want to hurt you so i just do nothinf
B_A_D: So what about when we didn't have boundaries?
B_A_D: wide shoulders, big arms, no tits, tummy poof, hips, butt and jiggle fat thighs...
Panzer Pope: when we didn't i wasn't here and i had managed to fuck things up damn good befor i got a chance to test thouse boundries. remember the txting, i serisously wanted to do some of them
Panzer Pope: trust me you are not as bad as you think you are. no one realy wants t accept that there good enough. your thinking too much and making yourself belive that your unattractive, you are not unatractive at all. and anyone who thinks other wise is retarded
B_A_D: Well then why the hell can't i ever illicit the kind of desire people feel for raven, or you, or alaurea, or elis or anyone.
B_A_D: or amber.
B_A_D: Like seriously.... some guy who only texts me when he's kinda horny/masterbating met raven for like 10 seconds and asks about her......
Panzer Pope: if you ask me thats realy sketchy. but who am i to judge. i dont realy know how alot of people go about it. all i do is become friends with people then go from there if theres an intrest. i dont mean i do it spasificly to date/ be with someone but things esclate from there sometimes.
B_A_D: Nigel sits home alone.... all the time.... I can't get a response if i try.
B_A_D: I mean fuck, I've never even been called sexy or attractive or any of that lust shit from -you-.
B_A_D: And we have similar sex drives.
B_A_D: Callan, who's apprently in love with me, has dreams where he holds my hand -_-.
B_A_D: I walk down the street with anyone and there are people checking them out.
B_A_D: Whereas I get i.d. and people mistake me for a 12 year old.
Panzer Pope: iv never said alot of that realy to anyone. as i said i dont do words well. and holding hands is a big step for some people. everyone has diffrent ways of expressing there love be it by speech or actions.
B_A_D: I'm not talking love...
B_A_D: i'm talking desire.
B_A_D: No one wants to fuck me.
B_A_D: unless it's convient
B_A_D: or just there.
B_A_D: But there's no DESIRE.
B_A_D: everyone talks about these hot -need to have you moments-
B_A_D: i got none....
B_A_D: I might be the only girl in SJ you, andrew, drew, and koko haven't slept with.
Panzer Pope: how many people do you think iv slept with?
B_A_D: more than me ?
B_A_D: like 20 ? maybe ?
B_A_D: you are severly out slutted by andrew drew and koko
Panzer Pope: and trust me i want to sleep with you. but again im afraid of hurting you. and its not cause your are convineant or just there. i seriously want to be with you, and wake up with you. i dont know how to explaine desire i only know how to show it.
Panzer Pope: and its honnestly more like 10or 11 people
Panzer Pope: no 13
B_A_D: 13 not me people.
Panzer Pope: yeah i know.
B_A_D: I have not had a single partnership not end with me being ditched for someone else
B_A_D: someone hotter.
B_A_D: nigel ditched me for some one ONLINE.
B_A_D: I have to -try- to get people to have sex with me
B_A_D: or work them up to it, no one just wants to
Panzer Pope: I would like to ask you to give me a chance again, i want to show you that i wont ditch you for someone elce. cause as a partner i dont want anyone elce. but i know thats not going to happen. if i know your intrested and that i wont be hurting you by being there you would not have to work up anything. hell i would hope to work you up.
B_A_D: dude then why are you always going home with raven?
B_A_D: in highschool alaurea instigated most of our stuff
Panzer Pope: i dont know cause i know shes ok with it. i know shes intrested in me. i know you kinda are but again i dont want to push anything that may upset you, i dont know where i stand in that respect with you.
Panzer Pope: not when i was alone with you, i belive i started the istagating well on my own befor ever hanging out with her
Panzer Pope: i know that wassnt good for you or good memories and im sorry for that.
B_A_D: It's not that
B_A_D: It's just fucking hard to deal with
B_A_D: Like you having to get up and leave the room around alaurea or raven
B_A_D: or use all this restraint etc
Panzer Pope: trust me its not easy not to act on what i want to do when im around you. but at the same time i want to be as close to you as i can. for as long as i can. iv almost kissed you a million times. the only thing stoping me is the memories of hurting you. and making you cry cause of what i do.
Panzer Pope: my thing with them is i know they wont be harmed by it. so its quite hard to hold back.
B_A_D: So then what's the reason for there being nothing there when there would be no harm?
B_A_D: Even when I was cool and wanted it, things went no where, you went to them.
B_A_D: Showed up to nigel's door in a zip down dress, stalkings and heels after a 4 hour bus ride to see him. "hey." :walks off:
B_A_D: Try to talk sexy to callan, it's something about hand holding.
B_A_D: message zac and it's somehting about amber.
B_A_D: I can't win
Panzer Pope: give me a chance you can win. you have no idea how much i think about you. and i wont be going to anyone elce.
B_A_D: dude 3 times....
Panzer Pope: yeah i know
B_A_D: It's not your fault, I'm just not the person who gets that kind of response.
Panzer Pope: no you should be. im just the fucking idiot who decided to wonder around when what i was looking for wa always there
B_A_D: you can't fake attraction or desire
B_A_D: you can grow to love someone over time, but you can't learn to desire them.
Panzer Pope: i havent lerned to desire you. i have always desired you deeply. what iv lerned is the emotional connection, and what that means to me. the desire is still there everyday its there.
B_A_D: When have you ever expressed desire/
Panzer Pope: im preety sure it was preety evadent back in school. and via txts while we were dateing. i want to now, i want to throw you onto your bed and rip your close off and make you cum. but at this point im afaide even if i kissed you you would push me away. and it would make another gap between us. so the most iv managed to do was hold your hand.
B_A_D: but you wedge a giant gap between us with alaurea/raven
B_A_D: and alarger gape still between you and alaurea with raven.
B_A_D: you can't jut keep discounting the huge role attraction plays in this
Panzer Pope: no im not. i was attracted to them. but that dose not mean i was not attreacted to you as well
we were dateing. but ill throw something out there, some odd question in the moment. and i use that to gague you. as i said i dont know where i stant so i cant just act
Panzer Pope: god knows im overthinking it but id rather over think this than end up with noting. but truse me iv wanted to more than you now.
Panzer Pope: know
B_A_D: ?
Panzer Pope: in other words iv wanted to act on my desires with you, but i get syked out thinking ill hurt you, or that ill be pushed away.
Panzer Pope: i tell myself i shoulden't do this cause of what iv done in the past. that i dont deserve to be with you. but i still want to be there

Jopa: great garbanzo dude, I'm going to blow my forking top if people don't stop saying such stupid shiitake. I am so sick of people trotting out wholesale accommodation of their insecurities as feminist.

IJDI: hey, sorry to have called you out on that thread. I could just see that everyone was going a little internet crazy and it wasn't a productive argument anymore. vegfoodie is totally wrong and I think she's probably just backtracking on how judgmental she was and saying that it's just her feelings on her personal experience.

anyway, everything you said was totally right, i think she just doesn't know how to have a discussion on the internet, so no amount of rational debate was going to make her see that she was wrong.

kmouse: corn waffles
Here's the recipe in the book which will yield 6 9"x9" waffles.

7 cups regular oats
8-9 cups water
1 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup oil
2 tsp salt
1/2 cup dates or 1/4 cup honey (use agave)
2 TB vanilla or maple extract

Stir all ingredients together in bowl. Blend 3 cups of batter at a time for 15 seconds and pour into another bowl. Repeat procedure until all batter is blended. Prepare waffle iron by brushing lightly with oil. Close lid and preheat on high 5-8 minutes. When iron is hot, sprinkle with sesame seeds on bottom for easy removal and enhanced flavor. Pour 1 3/4 cup batter over seeds and sprinkle more seeds on top of batter. Close lid and bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool waffle. Before freezing or stacking place saran wrap or waxed paper between waffles.

*I think this makes too much so I've modified the recipe to make about 3 round belgian waffles.

1 3/4 cup oats
2 cups water
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/8 cup oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 cup agave or 4-5 large dates, pitted
1 TB vanilla extract

I just put all this in the blender and blitz for 15 seconds.

Seriously, Party's identity issues are expanding.
First he was a lap dog, ok sure fine.

Then a cat or cat-o-weiler?

now he's a parrot or perhaps Rot-a-rot?

Don't know if you can tell based on these pictures, but this is Party my 80lbs Rottweiler sitting on my shoulder.

Halifax's Vegan Association Recipe Zine! Call out for Vegan Recipes, Stories, Articles etc

2010-01-29T11:55:00.001-08:00

The Halifax Vegan Association (and yours truly) are putting out a vegan recipe zine for free distribution to the public. I'm hoping to get both zine copies printed to be sent up and maybe host a scanned version of the original for an e-zine and so other groups will be able to re-print and distribute the zine to spread the vegan love.

As such I will be hosting a Vegan Recipe Zine Workshop on Sunday January 31th 2pm-6pm at the Dalhousie Women's Center in Halifax N.S., including Pizza and a community Potluck.

More importantly, for the extended vegan community (This means YOU! Internet) I am still looking for any recipe submissions, going vegan stories, articles, art work or simple zine pages you would like to have published in this zine.

Feel free to send me submission via e-mail (bad_blanch_amanda at hotmail).

Stay Vegan!

ppk quote of the day!

2009-12-17T05:59:00.000-08:00

Curtesy of Torque:

Are you kidding? Have you seen what the plants look like? They look like they'll slice your jugular and then kick you in the face for fun. (there is a big italian colony nearby that features an artichoke plantation, it looks like what the forking klingons would grow in their gardens.) I'd be afraid too.

Letter to Fox Network/Broadcasting: Please save Dollhouse

2009-10-23T19:28:00.000-07:00

I wrote them a quick e-mail, telling them how annoyed I am that Dollhouse is being put on hold for a month and an appeal for a third season.

If you haven't already, guys please tune into the show, tivo it, watch it on hulu and show some mad love for this series. Maybe even write your own letters, phone calls or e-mails.

Thanks

I just have to say that I was extremely upset and disappointed to learn that you will be withholding episodes of Joss's Dollhouse for an entire month. Surely, you have seen what an amazing program this series is. You have a really amazing opportunity to be part of something great, yet you seem to be consistently taking this for granted. Let's face it, the majority of your programing is just plain awful crap. Followed by remakes and re-packaging of the same crap. There is only one night a week I would ever dream of tuning into your network and that would be Friday nights for Dollhouse.

This series has so much potential, and its story is only just developing. You've seen the fan base Joss's series generate, the long lasting and loyal viewer-ship and fans his shows earn. The quality writing is something that is solely lacking from broadcasting today, and I would sincerely ask that you think about that when considering to re-new this series. It is worth it. Please re-new an amazing series and be one of the few networks to actually provide some quality broadcasting. I would hate to have my only reason for tuning into your station taken away. We all know these shows get better with time, please allow Dollhouse to get there and you will have thousands of thankful fans like me.

please carefully consider dollhouse's fate for the upcoming season. I will be anxiously awaiting novemeber's end so I can tune back in for my favourite program to return. And I hope it will continue to return again after that. Please, Please, Please give this amazing show a chance for a third season and keep your viewers happy.

Thank you for reading this and please remember that there are all kinds of fans who are hoping that you save this show.

-Amanda Dickie

With Love, Amanda Dickie

As some of you may be aware COK or Compassion over killing has launched a new campaign aimed at dunkin' donuts to persuade them to offer vegan menu items free of the cruelties involved in the egg and dairy industries. Their new website is up and they are urging activists and consumers alike to make their voices heard and take a minute or two to call, snail mail or email the company and urge them to offer cruelty free options.

As every single donut on their current menu contains milk and eggs, COK is also urging them to offer menu items for those with allergies and health concerns.

Here's the short e-mail I sent:

To whom it may concern,

I recently learned that your company does not offer any products suitable for people who avoid consuming animal products such as dairy and eggs, which appear in all your donut menu items. As you are likely well aware the number of individuals who avoid the cruelties and health issues related to animal products are growing. With numerous consumers opting for healthier foods and cruelty free goods our retail market is shifting. And as a result we ask that businesses represent our needs and allow consumers to continue their support of companies such as yours. Without Dairy and egg free options consumers will be forced to purchase elsewhere.

I would ask that you increase the availability of animal-product-free items or create vegan meal items to reflect your consumers growing concerns and open yourselves up to a larger market. New animal free products would be marketed as healthier options and allow your company to tap into the growing concerns of the population for health foods and improved eating habits.

I would like to thank you for your time and again stress the need for vegan menu items to be added to your repertoire and allow consumers the chance to purchase cruelty free items from your establishment.

Thank you

The lies of No-kill shelters and what's wrong with temperment testing

2009-04-16T06:51:00.000-07:00

Yet again, this is shelter who was going to kill my lovely boy party because of temperament testing. I decided to write them about Party in the hopes that they might change their mind about killing adoptable animals on the basis of temperament testing, which is set up for dogs to fail. According to the test Party was positive for rough play, food aggression and possession aggression. He has neither.

And what is almost worst is that dogs who actually have these issues can be rehabilitated and become perfectly loving dogs too.

Anyway here is the letter:

Hello,

This is Amanda Dickie, you redeemed a dog to me last November he was a young rotti named Party. I just wanted to let you know that he is the sweetest dog out there. And despite what your tests may have indicated, he does not have possession aggression or food aggression. He met my mother for the first time on the ride home and was eating chips out of her hand the whole way back.

When we arrived home we had him sitting and waiting for his food, once or twice he jumped the gun and started eating before he had permission and my 54 year old mother was able to pull him back off his food with no protest. After he got settled here everyone approaches him while eating and he is fine. My mother and I regularly take his food dish from him while he is eating and he is just fine with waiting for us to give it back.

He is learning to take treats gently from people and whenever he is to rough we always take them back and try again until he gets it right. He has never growled, snapped or bitten anyone since leaving your shelter. We also have four cats, who occasionally eat out of his bowl and he will sit back and wait for them to finish. He is patience and still waiting for the day they all accept him.

There is a constant flow of new and strange people in and out of our house and party is excited and happy to meet everyone of them. He no longer jumps on people when they come to the door, and is happy when strangers approach him even when he is tied on outside the home. He also loves small children and is extra gentle around them.

He regularly brings his toys over to people to play and even if he's gone off in a corner to play alone will give up any toy when asked. Everyone at one point or another has had to take toy pieces out of his mouth. Our older and smaller dog is able to take any toy he is playing with and she occasionally eats out of his dish and he waits until she leaves to resume eating. Party and Claire (our older dog) share a water dish and he is usually left waiting for her to finish before he drinks. However, at times when he is drinking she will push her way in and they will both drink together. They eat and get treats next to eat other, Party is always last but he waits patiently and never tries to take hers away.

The more comfortable cats have begun drinking out of the water bowl while Party is drinking or sniffing them. And even when the tense cats hiss or swat at him he remains calm. He doesn't even bark when people come into the house.

He hates having his nails cut and teeth brushed but he remains calm during the whole ordeal. Even when I accidentally quick him.

This dog is one of the kindest, gentlest and friendliest dogs I have ever met. We do things to him that would have my older lovely girl seeing red. Kids pull his tail, blow in his ears and pull on his cheeks nothing bothers him.

We just wanted to pass along this message in the hopes that you might reconsider using temperament testing as it is an unfair system that sets perfectly adoptable friendly loving dogs up for failure.

Thank you,
Sincerely Amanda

I just get so frustrated every time I think that they were going to kill him because he was "dangerous", "aggressive", etc. When he is the sweetest boy I have ever met. GRRR

This is relevant to this blog because I'm hoping this helps to change their minds, which is positive action.

2009-01-07T11:05:00.000-08:00

I think he's failing to read between the lines. This is fundamentally a problem that involves a teenager (I'm guessing?) asserting her independence and her parents being unprepared for it. The stuff about being insulted that she wants to cook and that she isn't taking part in family traditions makes that pretty clear. That it happens to take the form of a conflict about diet is kind of secondary.

Also, did he really attempt to resolve the problem that they don't like her cooking by suggesting that she cook for them? Hey, thanks, guy. I wish I had that kind of incisive problem-solving skill.

Went to diner with the vegan house crew and Jodi/Grant. God they are great. Food was awesome and everything was pretty stellar, the best part had to be Jodi's Fortune "Better to have a hen tomorrow then an egg today" so not vegan. Or when asked what everyone was doing if McCain wins, grant exclaiming/pointing " I'm marrying YOU!!!".

Man, I am excited to hang out with them more.

When spring winds blow

2008-04-03T10:18:00.000-07:00

The other day Katie and I went on an adventure to superstore. On the way out, we ran into some Amnesty kids and as usual stopped to chat. So the we and the boy were discussing current affairs, past actions and future courses. He kept mentioning how he was running into all these cool people and told us about someone he'd met from Ethiopia. Being Spring in Halifax the sea winds were blowing, I mean really blowing. So much so I was practically falling over. And then I did stumble, not far but I was nearly blown onto my damn face. Katie half caught me and chuckled, some mutual cursing at the wind occurred, said boy continued the discussion without missing a beat and sidestepped out of the relative wind shelter of the trees beside me. Affective executing the wind shield maneuver, with a coy smile and melting just a small piece of my fridge heart.

Seriously, Katie and I melted. There were internal awws and all. Now Blake curses me for not asking for a number, and thoughts of sweet boys in yellow vests make me smile.

In other awesome news, the cute guy in English class smiled at me in the chemistry basement a while ago. He also, had the long stare last Friday.. not sure if it was the dress or not. But man did that feel good (that boy even stares in a heart thumping way). Damn.

Katie and I are hanging out all the time, it rocks. I love this girl. The party at Jeff's was sweet and potluck take over is going well. I love local vegans. Julia, Katie, Mens, Blakes and I all have weekend full of plans. I've cooked for people all week, eaten with friends and Nicholas even asked me to teach him how to make a vegan mini pizza after he said they looked so good. He loved it. Buffy night happened as usual and all is really well.

New roommates who are sweet as pie (and old ones that were awesome too)9
French exchange students who see sunshine through rain and love Joanna's Vegan sauce.
Accidentally walking in on another french exchange guy sans pants (Not in the way that sounds, but in the joking about it later/smiles kinda way).
Happy french exchange student who acts like a small child on x-mas when you see him and allow him to use your camera.

photos taken while happy-go-frenchy plays with your camera

Nooch! and finally having some.

Finally opening old x-mas gifts (Kitchen Gizmos!)

And when everything FITS in the lunch box.

Being Outed as a vegan via cook book titles, and having it not matter.
Discussing AR, Veganism with a roommate who asks to borrow a documentary on the subject ^-^

Physics labs with the old group (minus one) and having Edgar tell me he was mad at me for not being in his bio lab. "So I was sitting there going all oh sweet, Amanda is going to be here awesome. I'll get to hang with her cause I haven't hung with her for a while, like since before break. And woah, wait no Amanda just a bench full of STRANGERS. I am so mad at you, changing your lab time. Shame"
Possibly having him to change to my lab.
Oh and seeing Khalid again who is hilarious as always
Edgar yelling "oh BAM what did I tell you, did you fail? no! Ha! Bam, I was right. :high five:.
And both gasping at my not-living on campus/shock until I told them I lived one street over and explained about sleeping naked and cupcakes at 4am. CLEARLY superior choices.
Oh, an obviously having a Kurt Cobain lunch box, and hearing people behind you comment on it.

School has me down again, I put off doing my chem until tonight where I sat down and went all out for the 3 hour time limit of stressfull hell, not even a 60. A 57.89%, so as predicted I ruined my night and now feel shitty. I hate this, why the hell do a care so much and worst why the hell am I so fucking stupid/bad at this? I know this material, so why can I never get these assignments right?

So now I feel sick, and on the verge of tears (This doesn't make sense, but I can't not feel it and it's stupid). More stress now to do better next time with added stress of only having 3 more tries to get it right.

i hate this, but I don't know what else to do

Dalhousie-cross post

2008-01-12T09:38:00.000-08:00

Well, I went back. This time there were people and most things were unlocked, and this time there were noises. Lots of them. Cats mostly, and crying which I couldn't identify. I'm just so pissed off at myself, doors were open and I just wouldn't go in. I mean, heck the cage cleaning room was wide open, boxes of rats right there... I couldn't even bring myself to check if they were alive or not. I feel pretty pathetic for shaking so much the whole time. I really should have checked, I mean sure the doors said do not enter authorized personal only.. but they were so open, heck I probably could have reached them without actually stepping in the room.

I shook so bad, a lot of the photos didn't turn out. Most of them are pretty bad, I took dozens and dozens of the same thing, most of which didn't turn out. Anyways, here is what I did get if people are interested.

Re: Joanna! And how she saved my lunch.

I think I lack the hitting that skills.
Although the kid is cute... and learning english.

I also dropped by the women's center, spoke with Liz and some girls. Good times to have as always, did some work, made some calls etc ect. Ate my lunch that I finally had time for.
I love that center. Seriously, if you ever feel down this is the place to go, everyone is so respectful warm and caring. Honestly, these ladies appreciated it if you fucking breathe!

Liz will go on for hours about how awesome everyone is and love you to death for doing simple things like cleaning up or answering the phone. Well you are the greatest person to have ever lived, ever.

We talked about lingerie, boycotts, she loved the make up/outfit and asked if i'd lost weight, we discussed vegan outreach and the potluck people, plus the bridges to be made and loads more.

I also left out all the awesome that was new years and chilling with Missy, Impulse, dancing, we were on the speaker boxes for a while, Chad said I was adorable and awesome, more grinding. Seen alex, and got two new years kisses... er sorta... Well Alex kissed me, cause she always does and I was speaking with Brian as the clock struck 12 (cali time) which wasn't a real kiss but much happiness none-the-less. We are also apprently hardcore for making fries from scratch at 4:30 am from potatoes.

verry awsome

surprisingly it was good tofurkey

:) Despite the deadness of campus and being alone all the time. I stand by my decision to spend thanksgiving the way I want to without looking at a dead bird. Sure I missed out on the food, but that's this year only. Because next year I'm going to be in an apartment and I'll be making my own feast, heck maybe even have some friends by then to have over and if not, all the better. I'll have lots of food to hand out to the homeless.

Happy Thanksgiving every one!

*I get to have thanksgiving without looking a dead bird, although I have abandoned my plan to make myself a feast.
* and finally this message form Andrew:

I wonder what's going on with our cats?
Either way I was overjoyed to hear that he is at home safe and sound.

dude,
Ok! if you want to make skirts, bring some fabric (about 1.5 yards should do) and some scissors. I'll bring everything else. For yarn fabric, bring some fabric scraps and scissors.

Hey,

I just tried to send you a PM but my sent box was full so I don't know if that means you actually got it,but I will try again just incase.
I wqas wondering if you still wanted to tent/park bunk or if you had found somewhere for yourself to stay.Either way it's fine,I just thought i'd ask because sleeping in a park sounds more fun with someone else.
okay hope to hear from you soon take care

Hi,

You speak a lot of wisdom B_A_D! I certainly know what you mean about the difference betwen written text and actually speaking to someone face to face.

Maybe I am too hard on myself I don't know, I just get lonely and miserable and just want someone to cuddle up to at night. The anonymity of the internet just allows me to open up and talk about everything I can't discuss in the 'real' world.

Hey, I'll send you a picture of me if you want. Just tell me your email addy!

Have a great day,

Jon.

Hi,

It's really interesting so far, I'm learning a lot. Very intense though, some extremely disturbed people as I'm sure you can imagine.

Some of the things I post are a bit tongue in cheek to be honest, I really don't hate myself that much. In fact I don't *hate* myself, just have no confidence with attracting the opposite sex.

I should really get to bed soon That's very funny!!!

I'm just off to bed, it's nearly 2am here. Btw, I'm doing a work placement in a prison, shadowing psychiatrists on the psychiatric wing and meeting inmates etc. It's nothing top secret, just experience for me as I want to become a Psychologist in prisons.

Hope I don't come across as being self-obsessed and miserable on the PPK like some seem to think.

Take Care,

Hiya,

I don't have the time or money to get over to the US any time soon. I do have family over there, in Connecticut and usually visit every three years or so. I went last year and got to meet up with a lady from another vegan forum I used to post on. It was a really good day.

Maybe one day we will meet up for a coffee though

Yeah, I love talking and listening too, good job since I want to be a Psychologist That's very funny!!! I wish I didn't have an obsession with being unattractive and have the problems with intimacy I have. I don't know if I mentioned it on my thread but it tooks me weeks to sleep with my ex girlfriend I was so uncomfortable. I really didn't enjoy sex and was so ashamed to still be a virgin at 25. She later said that I should 'thank her' for going out with me as I would have probably 'died a virgin'. She also said every other girl would have 'laughed at how crepe in bed I was'. It really hurt me She also said that her friends were laughing at her for going out with me.

Anyway, enough of my woes, nice to chat to you and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day. It really does help to be able to talk about these things, rather than keep them bottled up inside.

Jon.

Hi,

B_A_D you are certainly on my wavelength and seem to understand where I am coming from. Pity you live on the other side of the world, as I'd love to meet up with you and go for a drink or something - I bet we would have lots to chat about.

I think for me sex is a continuum rather than being easily defined. Even being 'straight' or 'gay' may not always be as black and white or in polar opposition all the time..........but that is a slightly different area.

It's great that we can be so open on the PPK, I never get the chance to talk about these types of things and it does feel liberating.

Thanks for listening!

Jon.

I really don't know why I'm into it, but it can be mindblowing when someone 'pushes the right buttons'. It is a very personal thing for me and hard to explain. I definately see BDSM as a voya rather than a destination. I'm not really into pain, more the psychological aspect of it all. I have many, many areas of interest but love the idea of being in a relationship with a dominant woman who orders me around, makes me cook/clean the house etc. I could literally talk for hours about the subject, it really fascinates me, especially as I have a degree in Psychology and would like to be a Psychologist!! I'm doing a Masters in Forensic Psychology and we had a lecture on 'Sexual Deviation'. Our lecturer was putting 'spanking' and 'BDSM' into the same category as rape etc. This form of sexuality is so misunderstood, it's frustrating at times.

My ex gf said I was a 'weirdo' for being into this type of thing. She told me after we broke up that when I first metioned I was into it she thought 'OMG, weirdo alert'. People can often be quite shocked that people are into this type of lifestyle.

I'm really tired and am going to bed now, but thanks for chatting.

Jon.

Hi,

Cool. I love PMs too! I went to your website btw, you write some great stuff :> This might be a little too personal, but what are you interested in BDSM wise? I know I have been into it for a long time and really enjoy the scene. It's great to be able to talk to likeminded people.

Steve just was late loggin back on because we went back to go recycle my carboard all the way in the cafe.
<3

He also just yelled after me "HA! I told you that you'd have to use the bathroom!"
I told him about the 4 bottles of water and 3 coffees, he thought I was insane for not having to go yet.

He also just went for lunch and when I told him I wasn't going to be here when he get back he just pointed and said "oh you will be, you'll be here. Don't worry."

What can I say.. I guess I'm easily pleased/amused

Pat also was a sweetie and came to get me after work, so I was leaving after some cool times with Alex, and steve said oh your leaving, well.. GOOD! Hurry it up. I replied with I'll take my sweet time, thank you. He said, good means I can talk to longer.
Also Anthony< 3
Anthony Carey- The meaning of life is simpler than you think. says:
lol, id gladly volunteer (i too get the itch that needs to be scratched) but the aforementioned experience has left me extremely fragile and worried of consequences which i have ignored in the past

well ok, not really.
But it's been a good day, nailed an interview with the YAP guy.
Got to girl talk with Jess from work, haven't seen her in a while.
Steve just came in and stuck his toungue out at me, I guess that's a hello, and smiled. Apprently he plans to kill the environment with his pop can tabs.
Ok, so it was a lame joke and not very funny, but it's social contact which is cool.

Scrabble games have mulitplied, Todd and Kcam played their turns, great PPK games going on. Spoke To Chiatroll this morning, played more scrabble goodness.
Lots of ppk smiles, no time to state them all.

haha, steve just walked over saying hey and smiling until I waved him away, cause i'm on a call. Joyce is back so I did my meeting my cancel saves are awesome :D
And I'm going to andrew's place tonight, see the new thing and hang out, which is cool because I haven't seen him in a while.

Steve flipping on the customers, finding out I'm 19 and being surprised as shit. And when I told him to fuck off, I know i'm short, he said I was about Carla's hight.
Not to mention my pile of coffee and chocolate :3

Small reasons to smile.

2007-07-22T12:39:00.000-07:00

I have full work shifts, 8 hours of paid time plus I got full time hours, with breaks and lunches. Random, accidental maybe, but awesome.

John invited himself to the gathering, went to get me water (with ice!) and left early as usual and patted my head as he walked by while I was on the phone.

I also had loads to do on my break, facebooking and all. Katelyn wants to go to sessions, I still have that coffee date with Todd, Andrew's new place to check out and possibly go to because I have later shift). Dos works here now, and came to see me a few days ago, now we may actually get to take lunches!<3

I also had a great mail day, book from pam, care pack from JCD and vegan outreach letters. Plus I have alot more mail things to look forward too :).

Also got a nice comment from tinctoris and lots of nice comments on my picture posts. hehe.

Sometimes Bad Bad day's have the nicest moments.

My mother ditched me at work, no way home.
I just had an awful call with an idiot who ordered from another company and yelled at me forever. He was mad when I told him we were two different companies and called me a liar, sorry dude we can't merge companies and become one just cause you'd like it. WE ARE TWO DIFFERENT COMPANIES. Fork.
Anyway, someone in the other companies CS messed up and told dickwad to call here. Steve heard me talking about it went on about how it was the other agents messing up again, and then he got right on the phone and called their sup. <3
Justin offered to get off early to drive me home and and Kcam sent me an e-mail to try and go too.
Also lots of joking and kind words going on, don't remeber them all.
but i'm feeling better.
Thanks kids.

I love how down I'm feeling and how he knows exactly where to lead me, down the road to redemption of other. He's moving in next week and asking me to help him grocery shop and cook etc. General taking care of someone else things, my perfect medicine.
So thanks andrew.

Also Prepboy and Kcam showed up again last night, watch 10 mins of edward sisor hands so that was cool. He said sweet dreams as he left, and kcam called me a geek for playing my game :P.

P.S. why won't this let me place a title for my post. :grumbles:

2007-07-07T08:22:00.000-07:00

Another peice from work.
Came in today, feeling great.
I've come to determine good days come from good shoes, and I love these shoes.
Sheldon said Morning sexy when I cam in so that also helped to brighten my day...

And oh yeah... I brought Flaun<3

Added from a few days ago: When I was leaving work on monday as I was headed out the door Steve said goodbye and that he'd try to sit closer next time. Not sure why, but that also made me smile.

Also drove to pick up kcam and bring soup to gwyn. Spent some time with Ben, went to his place. Seeing his face when I pulled out Death note was pretty awesome. Also we watched Can't Hardly Wait, which ruled.

I forgot most of today's points.

2007-07-01T13:31:00.001-07:00

But FoodPorn and The PPK allways serve to bring smiles.
As do discussions of BDSM.
Also a woman called in and asked to place a suggestion about replacing the milk with soymilk <3
It's been a slow day and tomorow is a holiday which means I get double time in a half. :SMILES:
:D:D:D:D:D
I'm not such a fan of this blog having a white background as when I type it has a black and well all the colours look better this way.
Also Gwyn called in to work today, which was fun and unexpected. She got me on the first try too, and is picking me up from work!! <3<3<3<3!
Course I don't wanna get fired but this one time was fun.
Also last night I got to Jason before his B-day and hung out with him and Jess which rocked. Superstore has never been so fun/cool. And Silent movie acting!
:dramatic eye bat:
I bought loads of stuff >.<>
Biker Mice From MArs for PS2!!!
And Castlevania the good one!! <3
I love getting to see them again, I also had loads of real person e-mails today (allways happy times)

So thanks 2 :

Adam O.
Mizzy G
Gwyn

Going to the movies tonight, first time in ages. And I really have to find a way to see adam (obviously thats what the e-mail was about) I need some way to vist him/hang out and not be akward or the other thing. Maybe i'll plan something for next week.

Also I noticed alot of stuff on this blog seems really lame/mundane/pathetic but I don't care. Getting and e-mail or a hello or whatever else isn't a big deal, but I started this blog to appreciate all the things within life and my day that make me smile or happy. And alot of those things are litte, try it yourself. You will probobly find small insignificant everyday things happen more often and make you happy, dispite how little they mean to others or how ordinary they are.

Working, she ain't so bad.

2007-06-30T07:03:00.000-07:00

Happy things:
My boots <3.
Driving in my boots.
Working in these boots
and all the reactions these boots get.
I LOVE MY BOOTS.
And Andrew, because he bought them.

Also coming into work today John made my day with his "Wow, someone's all dressed up today. Makes me wish I was 18 again!"
"Sorry John I don't date younger guys"
"Why how old are you?"
"Turning 19"
"Makes me wish I were 20 again, five years younger."

Shawna is my hero of the day, because she checked the schedule and saw that I was coming in and had coffee brewing when I walked in. <3
So I B-line for the coffee and John cuts me off, saying oh wow, you came down here to give me a hug, awesome. :arms open:.
"No, I was going for the coffee"
"Oh..."
"But what the hell"

Boots=Good Mood=Good Day
<3

Ok, even the bad days have highlights!!!
Today's Brightest points!

Todd Ross kicked me in the back with his dirty (and ugly) crocs twice! With Brian's encouragement. But then while we all kept talking he brushed off all the dirt. :3
Ben was talking to me again :3, in both french and psychology! It was just different.. like the tone and general manner which we used to talk, before and all. It was good.
Katelyn and Lauren in french, and getting a 25/25 on the round table. Kcam arriving late, and siting next to me was awesome too.
Gwyn randomly stoping by, seriously nothing makes me feel better.
Gwyn and i going to SESSIONS for mochas and flaun, ok nothing makes me feel better than that, especially on a bad day :3
We blasted techno the whole time <3
And she made awesome spagettie which we went to her house to collect and now i have real food for supper!! :)
I have a list of todd/katelyn quotes and happy things somewheres!
Oh and Prepboy randomly stoped by a few nights ago and just talked for 30 mins. Allways like old times and awesome, I kinda realized how i'd forgotten about how much i enjoyed those times.
Right now i'm talking to my name on Trillian and it's actualy making me feel better. His parental wisdom is not only not giving me a head or making me mad, but i feel good about it

Oh right! and Christian had a double role today too! In the halls he said hi/made a joke about "jees amanda goign slow enough" well banging into me etc. But in one of those jokes you make to friends way, not the i'm a serious asshole way.
And he said he liked our animation, dispite how crapy it was.
Oh yeah, Todd gets another point for positive project comments and making fun of how demented the class was and mentioning our animation in perticular.
Brian gets another point because he said he wanted one of my grad photos.
.. I guess I owe Todd a point for this two because he's harrashed about them.

Edit again, Graeme gets a point because he had actual contact today. Walked by with a pop can while I was working and placed it on the back of my neck. Again, alot of the things today sound like bullying but when you know the people and your me it makes you smile. I basically shows that things are cool between us again (haha lame ass pun!... damn i am lame)

I've been gone for a while, but I think I'm back home now

2007-05-18T10:55:00.000-07:00

Activism and writing.
Actualy I think I'm going to post my letter/responce in my other blogs.
aw heck here it is here too.

Letter received
Thank you for your correspondence concerning Iceland’s policy on whaling.

I wish to assure you that Iceland has no intention of catching any of the endangered species of whales, killed on a large scale by other whaling nations in the past. Iceland’s resumption of sustainable whaling only involves abundant stocks and is linked to Iceland’s overall policy of sustainable utilisation of marine resources.

Several countries catch whales, most of them on a much bigger scale than Iceland. The biggest whaling countries among the members of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) are the United States, Russia, Norway, Japan and Greenland. The whaling operations practiced by all those countries, as well as Iceland, are sustainable and legal and in accordance with the rules of the IWC.

Iceland fully appreciates the need for careful conservation of marine resources. Our economy depends on those resources as marine products constitute around 60% of Iceland’s revenue from exported goods and almost 40% of all Icelandic exported goods and services. Disruption of the ecological balance in Icelandic waters due to overfishing or other reasons could have catastrophic consequences for the livelihood of Icelanders.

As you may know, Iceland was among the first countries in the world to extend its fishery limits to 200 nautical miles in the year 1975, in order to put an end to the uncontrolled fishing around Iceland by trawlers from other countries. Since then Iceland has taken great care in maintaining balanced and sustainable fishing in Icelandic waters by enforcing an effective management system for various fish species including cod, herring and capelin.

Iceland takes pride in its pioneering work in this field, which has been emulated by many countries in the world wishing to avoid unsustainable practices. The annual catch quotas for fishing and whaling are based on recommendations by scientists, who regularly monitor the status of the stocks, thus ensuring that the activity is sustainable.

For a number of years, Iceland has acknowledged the need for scientific research on whales to gain a better understanding of the interaction between the different whale stocks and other marine species and the role of whales in the marine ecosystem. Therefore, Iceland began implementing a research plan on minke whales in 2003. So far, 161 minke whales have been taken and we look forward to the completion of the research plan in 2007 when the sample size of 200 minke whales has been obtained. Whaling quotas will take into account the number of whales that are taken in the implementation of the research plan, ensuring that the total number remains well below sustainable levels.

There are many different whale species and stocks in the world's oceans. Some are in a poor state and in need of protection. However, many whale populations are far from being threatened or endangered. The total stock size of Central North-Atlantic minke whales, for example, is close to 70,000 animals. Of those, around 43,600 live in Icelandic coastal waters. Fin whales in the Central North Atlantic number around 25,800 animals. Both estimates have been agreed by consensus by the Scientific Committees of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) and the North-Atlantic Marine Mammal Commission (NAMMCO).

Iceland’s decision to resume sustainable whaling involves takes of 30 minke whales and nine fin whales, during the current fishing year which ends on 31 August 2007. This will bring the total catches of minke whales in Icelandic waters during this fishing year to 69, including the minke whales taken in completing the research plan. These takes equal less than 0.2% of the number of minke whales in Icelandic coastal waters, an even smaller fraction of the total stock, and less than 0.04% of fin whales in the Central North Atlantic. Both are considered to be close to pre-exploitation levels and estimated sustainable annual catch levels are 200 and 400 fin and minke whales respectively. As the catch limits now issued are much lower, the catches will not have a significant impact on whale stocks. A responsible management system will ensure that the catch quotas set will not be exceeded. The catches are clearly sustainable and therefore consistent with the principle of sustainable development.

Iceland’s resumption of sustainable whaling is legal under international law. At the time of the re-entry of Iceland into the IWC, Iceland made a reservation with respect to the so-called moratorium on commercial whaling. As a part of that reservation, Iceland committed itself not to authorise commercial whaling before 2006 and thereafter not to authorise such whaling while progress was being made in negotiating the IWC’s Revised Management Scheme (RMS), a management framework for commercial whaling.

At the IWC’s Annual Meeting in 2005, Iceland went on record expressing its regret that no progress was being made in the RMS discussions. At this year’s IWC Annual Meeting, Iceland’s judgement of the situation was reconfirmed as the IWC generally agreed that talks on an RMS had reached an impasse. As a result, Iceland’s reservation has taken effect. Therefore, Iceland is no longer bound by the so-called moratorium on commercial whaling. In this respect, Iceland is in the same position as other IWC members that are not bound by the moratorium.

Iceland was one of the first countries in the world to realize the importance of a conservation approach to whaling. As signs of overexploitation of whales emerged early in the last century, Iceland declared a ban on whaling for large whales around Iceland in 1915. Whaling was not resumed until 1948, except for limited catches 1935-1939. Strict rules and limitations were applied to whaling in Iceland from 1948 to 1985 when all commercial whaling was halted again following a decision by the IWC.

Iceland has been a leading advocate for international cooperation in ensuring sustainable use of living marine resources, including whales. This has been the position taken by Iceland within the IWC, based on the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling from 1946. The stated role of the IWC, according to its founding Convention, is to “provide for the proper conservation of whale stocks and thus make possible the orderly development of the whaling industry”.

I hope that this information will be useful to you in understanding Iceland’s position on sustainable whaling. You may rest assured, that the desire to ensure the conservation of the whale stocks around Iceland and elsewhere is fully shared by the Icelandic Government.

With regards,
Sturla Sigurjónsson

I thank you for your reply.

However, where I come from life, if it lives in breathes, is more than a simple "resource".

He or she becomes a someone, and their deaths, if intentional, become murder.

And there is nothing sustainable about murder.

Your country has indeed made many great innovations to marine maintenance and you have certainly been making progress. However, if one wishes to attain sustainability and to preserve our waters and marine life. It becomes a question not of how many steps you've taken in the past or legalities, but how many miles you continue to walk and the lives you wish to save for future generations.

Please reconsider and take a stance against this bloody act.

Thank you once again for your time and reply

Sincerely,

Miku giving me a back rub in media studies
Mostly everything Todd does
[10:45] Adam: ok, i actually need to go, but i wanted to tell you... i read your last blog post and i don't want you to be angry with yourself. if it helps, you've opened up my mind to vegan foods, especially after those yummy ice cream bars and the various treats you've brought in, over the year. i'd be *far* more likely to eat vegan food, thanks to you. :)
Ben asking and then checking back up on what was up with me (even tho in the end he made it worst that still makes me beleive things are fine).
Kcam taking me to DQ, and circling back a few times to see mike
Geoff stoping by for convo and listening
Gwyn for chilling during third and giving me her full attention
Lauren for staying with me at lunch
My mom for helping with that doomed sewing project I fucked up
Zane (yeah thats right my brother) for lending me his new black shirt for when Dave can't fit into the costume I made tomorow.
Todd again for asking katelyn why I was having a bad day.. during class.. three feet away from me as if I couldn't hear :P
The guy who produced Veronica Mars. Seriously.
Veganism

On not such a great day

2007-04-25T13:02:00.000-07:00

Adam S and kcam and veronica mars! <3
Mr. Ross for showing up and ceasing Rob's discussion of fecal matter related sex acts >.>

T for cheering me up in the hallway.
Zach for saying I looked pretty today and giving me a hug when I went to him and asked him to cheer me up.
Kcam for asking if I wanted something when she went to DQ and for bringing me back fries.
Internet access in school so I could blog.

Daily bright points

2007-04-24T12:20:00.000-07:00

I've gotta say classes with Todd are really helping me out.
Cul tech is going great, I have a vegan black forest cake recipe and my WHOLE group agree to make it instead of the animal laced version yay!
Todd was great too, I was in the yearbook room after my cul tech test and he came in to talk to kcam and I, mostly kcam about the slideshow. He was asking me how my veganising was going and said he had been searching on google last night to try and find some veganized Heavy whipping cream etc. Mostly he was looking for a way to procastinate on his work so he decided to do a few hours of searching for me. We also talked about his married crush Sarah Kramer, who's e-mail I offered to hand over. Apprently its a boyhood thing.. tattooed woman etc, you can oogle from a far and ask me for new pictures but no actual contact or stalking.

Had a good realization in French when talking to Nichole... I'm in a good mood. Seriously. Things can't go wrong, i mean they do.. but i just don't care. Graeme hasn't spoken to me, Ben hadn't either at that point and I was still riding high from my sucess with Master on the weekend. I guess he may need a new nickname as he holds no power over me and neither does anyone else ^-^.

Also something which will allways add a good note to any day. The Boob thread has been reactivated. And theres a new poster. Joy!

You know what I really love?

2007-04-22T07:43:00.000-07:00

When logical, decent, half brained people call in with an issue.
Their polite, thankful, they understand what your saying, accept the end results, and are off the line in mins.
Thank you Mrs. Client, you just made my day.
^.=.^

So please, when you call someplace, just do as they intruct you and don't argue with them. Honestly, their trained to help you, they know what their talking about. Don't debate, your just wasting both of your time. And a little please and thanks goes a long way.

It's the little things

2007-04-22T05:58:00.000-07:00

Small things that allways make my day.
~ Hellos and smiles
~ E-mails from people, the thing that were typed and sent to you.
~ Comments on anything really. Comments are just fun to read.
~ Short stories, fictional writing or recollections. It's allways nice to hear from other people, their stories, lives or work.
~ When someone messages you before you message them. Long MSN conversations
~ Phone calls, Or I guess long conversations in general
~ Flowers.. well because their pretty and I got them once, so their cool.
~ Waves or pasing conversations. For some reason that tiny gesture often brightens my day. who knew.
~ Chocolate.. because well I have ovaries and taste buds.
~ Veronica mars! And sleep overs or just hanging out with friends.
~ Random off hand and unexpected nice comments or jestures. (Gwyn <3's for the soup, Kcam love the flaun <3, Geoff random vists <3)
~ When people are looking for you. Ok this one is weird, but for some reason whenever I run into someone who's been looking for me, I tend to feel great.. maybe it's the timing.
~ Going for drives or walks, once again it's probobly the one on one factor.
~ Dancing, or being asked to dance. Nitro raving all of it, makes everything melt away.
~ Hugs.. because well their hugs and they rule.. I supose kisses fit here too, oh and Lesbian jokes/jesting (Gwyn/Erin/Glue/Amy :P). For some reason joking around helps... probobly the laughter.
~ Whenever I see or hear from people I don't expect to.
~ Home made vegan goodies or crafts, someone cared enough to put all that work into something to give you.
~ Random kindness, you see it once in a while and it's nice.
~ Kittens.. because everyone loves them, and they never cease to brighten my day. Same with my dog and really all animals.
~ Notes, you know those old school scraps of paper where someone uses their hands to write you something. And then gets caught handing it to you or slips it into you locker,pocket, or bag.
~ Letters. Yeah, i'm oldschool like that.
~ Drawings, I love getting them. All art really.

yesterday's news

2007-04-21T06:14:00.000-07:00

Little things mean alot to loads of people.

Media studies with mr. Ross suposed to go for a walk, that fell throught but jensen's class came to hang out so it was fun. Got to see andrew too.

Obviously 24 marathon with kcam rocked!

Went to bed at 9 >.> LAME! but it was kinda nice too.

Warm sun in english class, i just sat and watched cars go by (i got there early early).

Best moment: Andrew invited me to his risk party, we both knew i wasn't going. But it was nice to know at least he wanted me there a little. Made my day.

John gave us a ride home.

Mr. Ross gave me the creepiest smile and wave ever...
Gave john a siegh hail for his b-day (same day as hitlers)

Plast from the past:
Pausing VM when logan's dad appeared on the sex tape and screaming "OMGOMGOMG!!" In the year book room. Then taking photobooth photos of us screaming and being surprised, lol. Then unpausing it and wonder why the image stoped moving. Turns out the characters in the show paused it too. Lotsa laughts

Day of the Dead

2007-04-19T13:46:00.001-07:00

Today was the worst day of not Amanda Week If I do say so myself.
I have pictures I will post sometime.
Daily Smiles:

Mr. Ross yelling at me through the halls " Seeexxxyy Mommama!"
Mrs. Jensen telling me to shot Berentha first after making her remove the jacket to prevent it from getting stained with blood. (during the school shooting Mr. Ross predicted I would have tomorow due to the dress).

"huh? Sorry, I can't concentrate with Amanda Here" -Todd
"Yeah I know me either"-Kcam
This continues for a bit

" What you don't like being/being called dreamy?"-Mr. Ross
"well we can allways switch (refering to clothing) I like wearing dresses, as you've noticed over there years" -Todd
"Course.. that ones a little too little for me"- Todd

Ok... so mostly it was Todd teasing me

Claire chasing a roll of tape and then mauling it.
Her chewing on the screw driver until the kittens took it away.

In adam's car, with the adams and talking about how it looked as if the guy on the crane was going to bump into the power line. Adam S "that would so Fu-..awful."

I got a phone call from Master asking if I wanted to hang out this weekend.
I won at cards.
Both times

Past memories of enjoyment which never got to see the light of paper:
Graeme saying in the car: That's stupid, why would we go to your house just to see jason and ignore you? It's rude, if I'm going to your house it's to see you.

When Ben said: Why Can't Tessa be more like you?

Every single mention Katelyn give me in her blog <3

Ben after I gave him the knife, saying it was the nicest thing anyones ever gotten him.

Mr. Ross being concerned when I was absent and checking up on me.

Gwyn making me soup when I was sick.

Mike being so thankfull about the flowers

Master getting angry when people made me sad.

Nigel talking to me and trying to convince me not to go to halifax.

Having Ben randomly show up when I was sick, and offering me pop dispite my diseasedness.

Adam's flirting with me.

Adam W "what?!?! not even if I asked you to prom?"
