There are two girls in my building that I have seen that have dressed up for Halloween. One is wearing a bonnet, a long flowy matching skirt while carrying around a stuffed dog. Not sure what that's about. The other is carrying around a big plastic green watering can, and wearing a straw hat, and KNEE PADS.

I'm on My Space , which I don't really understand, but if you would like to be my friend on there let me know and I will add you (and maybe you could explain the whole point of My Space to me too while we're on the topic). I like to tell the internet I'm currently 26 by the way.

Then there's hot or not... ...and here's my plan. Give me a ten and then I will give you a ten and we will all be happy and popular.

Also something that has nothing to do with anything, I really like cilantro. You may know it as Chinese parsley, or coriander...whatever you want to call it, it is so good.

Oh and if I didn't come and see your half nekkidness yesterday, I'll try to today.

Oh and (insert grocery store name here), you aren't getting away with anything by hiding rotten fruit at the bottom of a fruit salad...do you think people buy them just to eat half? Gawd.

Still so busy. Still wondering why everything has to be done ten times.

Can't we all stay alert and just do it once?

"I'm sorry you've filled out the wrong form, you are going to have to do it again"
"But you gave me this form and told me to fill it out."

Morning meeting.
New guy announces today is the last day for our United Way campaign.

New guy: "Let's make sure it goes out with a bang by participating in the balloon pop this afternoon."

Other guy: "Well how does the balloon pop work?"

New guy: "There will be a number inside the balloon and when you pop it with a dart you win the prize that corresponds with the number"

Other guy: "Will you be wearing the balloons?"

I personally can't think of a better way to raise money for charity then to pay to throw darts at your coworkers.

If everybody just did their jobs properly and/or followed through with things they said they were going to do I wouldn't have to spend half of my day "following up".

Sometimes my boss looks at me like he has a little secret. Kinda smirky like. I don't know what kind of face I make back when he does it but if I were a betting girl I would say sour.

I have 6 bazillion things to do and exactly 2 weeks to do them in, so, if I don't come and see you soon know that I still love you. Unless I didn't love you before then know that I still like you. You may have been moved up to the love list too, you never know.

I will try and make it back for HNT and visit all of the people I couldn't last week.

Eff you Ferrets

The term cougar is really starting to annoy the hell out of me. At first I think it was supposed to mean those women you see who wear the animal print...you know, they kinda stand out at a bar or whatever because they are older and are wearing clothes that aren't really in.

Okay. I guess if you are having trouble keeping up with the styles then maybe you deserve a little ribbing.

Then it gradually changed to mean all older women who date younger men. Why the hell is there a term for that? Men have been doing it for years - like that wrinkly, sickening old dude Hefner, and nobody ever came up with a term for him.

If you ask me I think it should be ferret.

And now it seems cougar has come to mean any woman over thirty. I hear these loser DJs making fun of women just because they are over thirty.

What gives these doofs the right to call us that?

What really boggles my mind is when women say it. Doncha think it's sorta being used to put you down for something that we don't put men down for? Even if you are 22, you don't have long before you are fair game - or "they" lower the age to 25.

When somebody says cougar we should say fuck you ferret.

Or perhaps just fuck you.

I think I've forgotten how to blog

Hopefully it's like riding a bike.

Okay so far so good.

Wanna see some cute dogs?

It's Thanksgiving here, I went to my parent's on Saturday for turkey and poker. I lost. I think I may suck at poker because when somebody is dealing and an ace comes up in the flop I will say "Uh oh!" if I don't have an ace in my hand. Yeah that's pure brilliance.

No I don't think this blogging thing is like riding a bike.

The Backstreet Boys making fun of cheesy 80's music videos is an example of irony in its purest form. I think. Irony is always so confusing.

Gorgeous day, 5kms, thousands of participants, brave survivors, including Stephanie, who we were walking for.

Little white

This is a little white house in the middle of a huge field in my town. I've driven by it a million times but it was so far back from the road (and over a fence and through bushes that are up to your neck) that I never got around to taking any pictures until today. It has always called to me.

Wake me up when September ends

So yeah I took this really gay colour picking quiz that I found on Jerk's site (I asked him when he turned into a twelve year old girl taking silly tests like this)
Anyway, my results were eerie so I thought I would share it. Let me know if yours are too.

You can close you're eyes and tell me
That you are a visionary
And maybe you're a little scary
But you take my breath away

When you say you'll always be there
It paints such a lovely picture
But no matter how you frame it
It's still pornography

Nobody seems to hear
Till I scream and shout
Even if you tie me down
And you blow my candle out

I'll still glow
I'll still glow
I'll be the perfect someone
that you'll never know
I'll still glow

I see this girl with so much anger
Pacified by holding strangers
Making peace with all her danger
By looking in the mirror

The pureness in my name is gone now
You've taken it too far but somehow
I'll lick my wounds and take the last bow
And hold my cold left hand

There's so many things
That you rant about
The only thing I know for sure
If you blow my candle out

I'll still glow
I'll still glow
I'll be the perfect someone
That you'll never know
I'll still glow

Pretty Plus is not Pretty

So I went to the doctor yesterday for my regular check-up sorta torture.

Everything went fine except for the scale thingy.

The doctor said "Binsk you're fat as hell, lose some weight" Well, maybe that isn't exactly what she said.

Anyway, does anybody have any weight loss tips they'd like to share with their chubby internet friend?

And not the eat less, exercise more stuff...I want fast and painless.

100 Things - The Third Quarter

Okay, so about a year ago I started my 100 things list. I only made it to number 50, so here are numbers 51 through 75.

51. I have never met a person that drives a Jaguar that I didn't want to punch in the face. What a bunch of tools.

52. I cannot STAND the sound of the dryer finishing.

53. I won a colouring contest when I was 13.

54. I lied and said I was 12.

55. When I was 19 I was unjustly fired from a coffee shop. My boyfriend at the time was so upset that I was crying that he took an entire garbage bag full of croissants and dumped them in the middle of the floor during their morning rush.

56. Another boyfriend, another lost job, and a molotav cocktail. I SWEAR I had NO idea he was going to do something like that.

57. The Dollar Store confuses me. How can they sell all of that shit for only a dollar?

58. "Give me Shelter" is my favourite Rolling Stones song.

59. I've been drinking with Darrell Power of Great Big Sea. He's as funny as all of the other Newfies* I've met.

60. I always mute commercials when I'm watching t.v. due to the fact that they turn the volume up to mach gazillion. Yeah, I know mach is speed.

61. I am a very light sleeper so don't try and sneak into my bedroom when I'm sleeping.

62. I think the sleep button on an alarm clock is one of the greatest inventions ever. I'm surprised mine hasn't worn out.

63. Has been deleted due to the chance that it could incriminate me in a court of law.

64. I can drink most people under the table.

65. I always have a Bionaire air purifier running, mostly for the sound.

66. I have four piercings in my ears, three on the left, one on the right, but I never wear earrings because they make my ears red and itchy.

67. Flip This House on A&E is my new favourite show.

68. I played hockey for one year when I was 11. (oh yeah baby, that jacket is 100 percent 80's corduroy)

70. I think university is a bunch of bull unless you are going to be a doctor.

71. I think everyone should stop microwaving stuff in plastic.

72. I tried out to be a cheerleader, I made the team, and then I quit.

73. My favourite word is Haligonian.

74. Sometimes I play dumb to see if new people I meet are nice or not. Is that manipulative? Ooops.

75. Sometimes I'm just a little south of smart on unpurpose.

*The term Newfie is used in the most loving way possible.

It's Me Me Monday

Funky Bug has a new game for us to play it's called Me Me Monday. (Click the button at the bottom if you want to play too)
Okay so number 12 on my list is "Doug Gilmour once body checked me but there wasn't any ice. And no it's not a sexual thing."
Went to a party that Doug was at. He was standing right in front of me; we were facing eachother. Somebody called my name. He said "your name's Robin? I hate the name Robin! My ex wife's name is Robin!" And he jumped on top of me on the bed. I knew he was just joking around so I wasn't upset, we all laughed. The End.

For all my non hockey loving friends Doug Gilmour was the captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs in the nineties.

GO LEAFS GO!!

When you are eating alone and you get this fortune what does it mean?

You wanna know what was next to me when I opened this? A beer, 1/2 a diet coke, a mirror and my computer.

It's Friday and I'm very happy about that. Except for the fact that HNT is a whole 6 days away.

What did I ever do before HNT?

What did I ever do before blogging?

I can't imagine. I guess it's like having a kid, you can't remember life before. Yes I just compared blogging to being a parent. Is that odd? Well I never said I was normal. In fact normal sucks if you ask me.

Speaking of crazy,

Tons of Torontonians were packing the gas stations yesterday so they could fill their tanks before Rita strikes in order to save a few bucks. You couldn't have paid me enough to get in one of those line ups last night. Come on people you might be overreacting just a tad, and even if you aren't, that tank is going to run out and you'll have to pay whatever ridiculous price they decide to charge you anyway.

No that's not directed at you silly.

I'm just trying to get Kid Rock's attention.

Do you think you could let him know?

Thanks for all of your thoughts and advice yesterday, it's much appreciated. You know I love you!

Nothing much to say today. HNT is tomorrow - or being posted tonight at midnight - and I've got nothing right now. Are you ready?

J.D. wins Rock Star INXS. I would just like to say congratulations J.D. and please forgive me for my bitchy ways when we met, I was just having a bad day.

I have a question. Do you feel like you are where you should be in life? Do you feel at ease? Do you feel safe and secure? If not, when was the last time that you did? Or when do you think you will feel that way again? And for how long? Is life just a series of changes? Is anyone ever really comfortable or relaxed?

Have you seen that Mitsubishi ad on television where a bunch of people scream ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh for like 30 seconds?? If I find the fuckers that made that ad I will tie them down and scream ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh at them until they cry.

Blue Jays lose 1-0 to the Yankees, I lose twenty bucks at poker and Dorsey's still sleeping.

Okay so I go to the beer store. And the guy I.D.'s me. I smile and give him my I.D. I pay with MY BANK CARD. The store is really busy. The guy beside me is returning bottles, one of which had a broken neck when he bought it - Sooooo he needs to get his change for the empties, another case of beer, and a replacement bottle for the one with the broken neck. Everything is chaotic. Dude beside me asks me how old I am, while the beer store guy is getting my beer, his beer, and the replacement bottle. I tell him. He says "No way!" Then he asks if I'm married. I say "No, maybe that's why I look younger than I am". He laughs. Then the beer store guy comes back with my beer, dude's beer and the replacement beer, and hands me a loonie (a dollar for my non Canadian friends). I put it in my pocket. The other dude says to the beer store guy "Where's my dollar?" And the really busy beer store guy says "I thought I just handed it to you?" At this point I realize that I have accepted the dollar in all of the confusion and conversation, but I paid with MY BANK CARD!!! So I say "Oh sorry I have it", and pull it out of my pocket. I don't know if they really thought I was trying to steal one whole dollar but I felt like such a loser.

P.S. Isn't it funny when you write a word too many times and it starts to look weird? Beer...beer...beer.
P.P.S. Did this make any sense to you whatsoever?
