Why can\’t my life be average?

I mean seriously!   Or maybe it should be more like why can\’t *I* be normal?  Then again define normal:

adjective
1 normal
conforming with or constituting a norm or standard or level or type or social norm; not abnormal; \”serve wine at normal room temperature\”; \”normal diplomatic relations\”; \”normal working hours\”; \”normal word order\”; \”normal curiosity\”; \”the normal course o
2 normal
being approximately average or within certain limits in e.g. intelligence and development; \”a perfectly normal child\”; \”of normal intelligence\”; \”the most normal person I\’ve ever met\”

So that pretty much explains it right there, because I am oh so defiant against social norms…  But still…  Sometimes I wish that I was just an ordinary person living a normal boring ass life.  I however shall never be so fortunate now shall I?

So since its been a while…  I\’ll do some slight back tracking since I know EVERYONE is just SO interested in my life…  Saturday: Shane\’s birthday= awesome!  That\’s all I have to say about that.  Oh yeah I had a job interview on Saturday night, that was pretty random too.  A few odd questions, an ultra fast tour and I need to call him either tonight or Thursday to set up a trail run  to see if I like it or not.  Steph the breakfast Chef *barf* but we\’ll see…  If the price is right I\’ll be MORE then happy to order a bunch of boys around…;)  I also have another job interview on Thursday night at a Bistro, this should be interesting.  So I\’ll wait to call Dominic back after I talk to Jason.

Another random occurrence…  I almost never use MSN messenger for a number of reasons.  Generally because if I happen to be online I\’m busy and I don\’t want to be disrupted by anyone.  I almost always \”appear\” offline and go into what \”C\” refers to as: sneaky stalker ninja mode.  However Dustin sent me a text and asked me to go online so we could gab for a bit which is fine and well until I got some e-mail from guy named Sam something and well curiosity did get the best of me so I had to check it out since anyone who knows me know that I don\’t use that e-mail address for e-mail, just MSN therefore I never check it.  I still have no clue who this guy is, let alone how he ended up on my MSN.  So I\’m thinking its likely a really long time since I\’ve had some association with this guy.  He\’s pretty hot, but REALLY creepy…  Or maybe its just me who thinks its creepy?  I won\’t post said conversation in here, granted its pretty tempting but I shall refrain.  In any case, the 10 mins I had him on my MSN was a HUGE turn off, I mean seriously why are some (not all) guys act like total doucebags if they think someone\’s hot?  I don\’t get it… In any case that was just plain weird…

Another odd occurrence…  Face book status said something to the effect of being a Chef & pretty has its advantages; boys & jobs aren\’t usually hard to come by.  Then out of nowhere I get a message from my ex boyfriend (we\’re talking 16 years ago.  Yeah I\’m old STFU Micheal 😉 )  And this little gem turns up in my in-box( yes this would be one of those pics or it didn\’t happen moments!) lol:

So yeah, today Krystal and I were sitting outside talking about music from our youth (you know back in the dark ages when we had tapes lol)…  Which led to a whole lot of bad rapping/even worse dancing on the back fire escape…  Good times to be had though, it was pretty hilarious!   Such as: Vanilla Ice, Kriss Kross, (x2), House of Pain, Cyprus Hill, MC Hammer (my God those pants…) & of course who can forget ace of base\’s two hit wonder lol.  Moments like these are really going to make me miss my job there!

On a final note, I have PMS and its toying with FAR too many things…  One thing in particular has a terrible hold on me that I can\’t seem to get rid of and its driving me crazy!

I have a plan…

I like plans, I like knowing that I and I alone hold some semblance of control over *my* life and no one else.  So after the most epic meltdown that I think I have ever had which Ian bared the burnt of that via  a telephone conversation last night after making the mistake of asking me how my day was lol.  So my boss is being a twat and I have officially reached my breaking point!  I\’ve been talking about going back to school for years now to pursue something else but that takes time and money that I don\’t necessarily have.  Especially time!  Being in the culinary industry is a total time whore!  No its not impossible to maintain a job and go to school, I\’ve done it.  However its so un-predictable it makes time management a tad difficult on occasion.

Enter this beautiful thing that technology permits called e-learning!  Lasalle college offers a year long program in multimedia techniques which is online and the tuition fees aren\’t outrageously high either so that\’s a plus!  I have little interest in some aspects of the program, but meh why not?  Won\’t kill me to learn something new which is somewhat in retrospect to what I was after anyway.  I\’m also going to be taking a crash course in web design.  I have background knowledge  in it anyway and seeing as how my code skills could use some work anyway might as well.  Jason and I had discussed that prior to his untimely death and well I figure there\’s no better time then the present.  I put it off for several reasons, one of them being he was my personal coding genius.

I already have a copy of the entire macromedia dreamweaver suite (which is included with said class) and associated programs but maybe I\’ll actually learn how to actually use it lol.  Because their tutorials well they\’re shit…  I also lack the patience to sit there and figure it out on my own.  nothing like have a grossly over-priced piece of paper to add to my current collection that say YAY I know how to use it! 😉  Originally it was more so for my own personal benefit with Jason\’s & company\’s joint ventures but I figure since he\’s gone now and even though James did agree to come on board (thank God!) it would be to my own personal benefit to actually know 100% how everything works so that I need not rely on anyone/anything else…

So in order to achieve this I have to continue to whore myself out to the industry that I really am growing to despise and don\’t exactly enjoy anymore regardless of where I work I now have a goal in mind and that if anything gives me the motivation to tolerate this a little bit longer (I hope!) knowing that in the end something bigger and better will be there at the end.  Again I can hope right?  So we\’ll see what happens, in any case my website will benefit from it in the end (I think).

So I have a job interview tomorrow evening for a sous Chef position which is more *my* deal, and well its more stable since its in an upscale retirement home as opposed to a restaurant environment so if anything its consistent as opposed to being in an alternative culinary environment where your hours are dictated by the amount of customers you have in a day.   I need more stability in my life when it comes to my finances because well I have a tattoo habit to support.  Also decided that since my knee issue has improved sans surgery I\’m going back to the gym.  I miss kick boxing, people may say that its violent blah blah blah but really aside from having and I quote \” good old fashioned angry sex to make me feel better\” which is always fun, I need an outlet for the reams of anger I seem to be experiencing lately and well I like it.   Not only that my sex life is well not even in exsistance :p

So maybe I\’ll start shopping for hot pink hello kitty boxing gloves ha ha!

I <3 HSV-1...

OK actually no I don\’t as a matter of fact its a pain in my ass!  OK herpes (simplex one) sounds a million times worse then it could be as in HSV-2 (genital herpes) If your really feeling up to viewing some images, well those can be found here.

Why on earth am I talking about herpes for?  Simple, because I have HSV-1 *(as does most of the population) which is nothing more then a cold sore that I didn\’t even know that I had until my student dentist pointed it out.  Because I went to start my dental treatment at McGill today, took the afternoon off of work and lo and behold I couldn\’t GET ANY WORK DONE!  Thankfully this ISN\’T a regular occurrence, I think the last time I had one was a few years ago.   So now I have to call the poor guy back when its gone urgh!  Because the little bastard can spread like wildfire and while I am anything BUT impressed with it taking up residence on my face its not very visible.  I guess its a good thing I don\’t go running around kissing people or giving out blow jobs eh?  I\’ll tell you though, great way to turn guys off apparently!  Ahem thanks…  That was nothing short of awesome as in someone falling off the face of the planet the minute I told them.  Hey could be worse, I could have confessed that I had genital herpes which I am pretty damn thankful that I DON\’T YAY negative blood tests!

Speaking of blow jobs…  Someone e-mailed this to me this morning and while I don\’t see how it has anything to do with the actual product at hand its the innuendo that made me laugh to a certain degree…  Especially the commentary about the video itself.  Then of course there\’s this one too which is more tasteful but still slightly inappropriate . One needs to wonder if that company was doing an ad campaign for pearl necklaces O.o!  Yeah I went there…  As for what I happen to think is flat out wrong oddly enough is this.  That\’s likely because I dislike fast food but I especially hate burger king (and small children)!  Here\’s an interesting twist on the gender role of things…  Sometimes I do love the internet! 😉

More reasons I love the internet (goes to show you my friends who send me this stuff have FAR too much time on their hands):
Breastfeeding dolls (I totally had a WTF moment) but the fox commentary is amusing.
My ALL TIME favorite condom commercial EVER! Which was banned, why I\’ll never know because it reins supreme in hilarity!
Learn English?

More of course can be found here (thanks Ben)
Offensive?  Maybe to some, thoughts?
OK so I happen to think that Kayne West is an EPIC douchetard… Apparently I\’m not the only one! Micheal sent these to me so of course I feel the need to pass it on 😉 How many people can relate to this

OK so enough with the random nonsense.   At least for the time being…
In other news, work is still mega fucking slow so I\’m either a looking for a new job that pays more/gives me more hours *or* finding some BS part time job until things pick up at my work. Because I\’m going to start accumulating some hardcore debt if this keeps up…
One thing I noticed was most ad\’s that were in conjunction with my line of work, they always referred to the person they were looking for as a male IE: Him, He and so on. WTF? Sexist much holy fuck! I\’m not some radical feminist or something but come on! I\’ve been in this industry since I was 14, its woman like me who stuck it out amongst the gender BS who helped pave the way for woman Chefs today thank you very much!

On a final note its almost Friday:

Your joking right?

So in a slightly futile attempt to go to bed early last night for a change after a rather interesting yet informative evening out with my friends boyfriend from Ontario who was here on business…   And by early I mean before 1am…  I was rudely awakened by none other then my friends the douchetard brigade that lives upstairs!  At first I thought I was having a really strange dream since my sleep was quite restless and I kept waking up for some reason or another.  Oh no, it was a little too real if you ask me.  It sounded like there was a wounded animal or something outside my bedroom window at 6:30 AM!  Between the screaming, the howling and the what I am pretty sure was some form of retching I of course couldn\’t sleep.

The welfarians that live upstairs obviously were at it again.  Their living room is ABOVE MY FUCKING BEDROOM WINDOW!  So of course instead of GOING INSIDE like normal people would they along with some of their friends stand in front of MY window and yell and scream upstairs!  Finally the racket stopped and I was able to go to sleep briefly for a little while longer before I went to work.  It wasn\’t until I actually left for work the area in front of my apartment\’s entrance and the area outside my front window resembled a crime scene!  There was a trail of blood, and of course in front of my living room window was remnants of a broken beer bottle (surprise surprise) along with an epic amount of what I am assuming is human blood and a large assortment of Kleenex that was also saturated with blood.  FUCKING GROSS!

I am beyond fed up, this apartment has given me nothing but a million issues and the utmost obnoxious neighbors I have EVER had to contend with!  Needless to say I WON\’T be renewing my lease come July.  If anything I am going to aim getting out of it earlier using them as a prime example as to why they\’re ruining my reasonable enjoyment as stated by the regie du lodgement.

In other news I went shopping this evening in search of a water pik which better offer said promised results for the $50.00 price tag!  If anything though maybe it will help save on my upcoming dental bills, one can hope right?  We\’ll see what happens with this one…  So I got that and of course I felt compelled to look around and found not one, or even 2 really cute shirts but 4 that I of course had to buy lol.  I also got another memory foam topper for my bed, so maybe tonight I\’ll sleep like a baby.   Spending money I don\’t exactly have isn\’t the smartest move but I rarely go shopping for one thing and this particular store is out of my way so I only go there once in a while so in my opinion its justified…
