| Springs And Things That Spring |
[14 Sep 2009|06:14pm] |
The past 5 days have been wacky. Very up and down. Most of the ups have involved bathtubs. I found out on Wednesday evening that I had an interview at the Hotel Rialto (hotelrialto.ca) on Thursday morning at 9am. Short notice?! So short, in fact, that I didn't even have enough time for my facial hair to grow back enough for me to shave it. I worked all wednesday night, got home thursday morning at 7:30am, cut my hair in about 10 minutes, didn't shave, threw on a suit and ran down there for the interview. First time I've ever gone to an interview without shaving, and I even put gel in my hair because the hotel is owned by an italian person and all italians have gelled hair. The interview went okay, but I randomly lost my train of thought a few times which doesn't normally happen to me in interviews, so I think I was just dead tired from 0 sleep.
Friday I worked all day, April showed up at my work so we hungout and then biked back to my house to drink fireball because we're crazy like that. Then April ran off into a forest and I biked to adrian's where the drinking continued. The night was pretty hilarious, I was laughing most of the time. Me and adrian were talking in the bathroom when Becky ran in and interrupted us. I quickly told her to check out the tub so she ran over and I shoved her in. Kalyn quickly ran in and I told her that Becky was trying to shower so she should turn on the water... so she did. And then, I shoved kalyn in the tub too. lol. Oops.
I got home at 445am, woke up at 10am, went to work, then got back home at like 5 (after a delicious Dairy Queen & Tylenol hangover meal), took a nap, then there was giant party at my house. The party was insane. There were shitloads of people, epic music, emotional games of flippy cup, and piles of people constantly trying to find me since I'm "the new guy" living in the house. Definitely one of the best nights of the year. At the end, I was saying bye to the last person at the party, and then my roommates walks up and he's like um dude, I was brushing my teeth, washing my face, you know, just getting preped for bed, and suddenly I realized, someone is sleeping in our tub. Hahha, he was so boggled that I'm like okay I'll take care of it. So I walk in the bathroom and this big English girl is completely passed out in the tub, so I wake her up and I'm like hey you can sleep over but you gotta go to a couch. And she's like, I'm already on a couch! and I'm like um no, you're in our bathtub. You're 'blanket' is someone's towel, and your 'pillow' is a mixture of someone else's towel and Pert Plus. Please stop sleeping on my shampoo.
Eventually I haul her out of there and throw her on a couch. April showed up at like 430am looking for her keys. Then I woke up at like noon and my roommates suckered me into getting high. I only had 2 wiffs, but somehow I was higher than I've ever been in my entire life, I guess since I rarely smoke these days. I had not the slightest clue as to what was going on. I had to go to work later so I just went back to bed because I was done like dinner. Worked all night, slept a little, came to work at the video store today and suddenly, I have food poisoning! and I'm just like wtf is this shit, so I decided to check my e-mail/FB and such to take my mind off of things, and amongst all the junk mail from UVic and LargerPenises.com was an e-mail from the Hotel Rialto saying what's up bitch ass, you got the job! So now I'm in a state of being happy, but throwing up in between smiles. I'm chasing vomit with smiles.
Unfortunately, my 2000 word work term report is due tomorrow. I'm reeeeaaally not in the mood to be doing that. I'm giving my 2 weeks notice at the JBI, but there's gonna be a few weeks of working...3 jobs? That's going to suck balls.

I'm working at the hotel right now, and I just realized that on this site we get business from (booking.com!) people can leave reviews for our hotel, and there's one really hilarious bad review we got
"no elevator and my friend was in a walking cast. no bath tub........the cheapest possible shampoo and soap. I dropped the soap in the white shower and I coundn;t find it until I turned off the water."
...loool? That situation just boggles me to no end. I can't believe they actually had to stop, turn off the shower, and look around the bathroom just to relocate the soap that they were holding 2 seconds previously. Apparently white tub + white soap = mega disaster

| "Guys, I'm So Like Dis-Included In This Conversation" - Laura |
[06 Jul 2009|12:32am] |
Earlier today these two guys walked by my house in mid-conversation
guy #1: ...and he shoved them right up his dick!
guy #2: Holy shit are you serious?! what do they look like?
guy #1: they're like these little black balls, he just shoved them right up!
guy #2: Oh my God!!! what did he say right after?
guy #1: He's like, "I'm going to go find a doctor"
hahhahha, so messed up. I'm curious to know more, but at the same time I'm glad I'm not friends with people like that. Seems like the kind of friends that would also pour glue all over the side of your face while you're sleeping and then you wake up with a pillow stuck to your face, and then everyone runs in with their cameras taking pictures and yelling witty things like "ha ha ha! look at you, pillow face!"
I'm tempted to start a small band, although I don't know if my wrists will hold up, but it's worth a try since they don't seem to get worse after I jam, just take a day or so to recover. The other problem is that the drummer would have to be Andrew and he's leaving in September. However, if we were somehow successful by the end of summer, then Andrew would have no choice but to stay and soak up the fruits of his labour. So I'm gonna need you all to go tell all your friends about Andrew and how awesome he is in order to artificially make him uber-popular, and force him to stay in Victoria. Also, make sure to mention that he really likes shrimp, because he hates it, but funny situations could arise in the long-run.

About 2 weeks ago, a plane going from Rio De Janeiro to Paris disappeared over the Atlantic. It was in a storm at the time, so it is suspected that it got hit by lightning, and there are no survivors. Anyways, there was a women who was trying to get on that plane, but was like 1 minute late, so they didn't let her on. She was really pissed, well, until she found out what happened. Anyways, so it's like a miracle she's alive and all, so she hops on another flight and gets to Europe. A week later, she's in Europe, she gets in a car accident and now she's dead.
Weeeeiiirrdd.

Well I guess maybe I should start posting again... things have been pretty hectic, although my luck has been really shitty these past few months. Most recently, I got a $109 ticket for biking without a front light, which kind of made going to work useless, since I only make $100 a shift.
Last Thusday was a little lame for everyone. Mike's lighter in his pocket turned on and ruined the fancy shirt he was wearing. Katie was supposed to pick me up but instead she was parked illegally downtown and her car got "the boot", and on the boot it says "for your convenience, we have immobilized your car." And then me and the aussies went onto the trampoline and suddenly we hear a loud snap, which turns out to be my ankle, and suddenly I can't walk anymore. It massively swelled up, so I went to see my doctor, although he was pretty sure it was going to be fractured, it's actually really badly sprained. That weekend was going to be one of the best of the year and ended up being one of the most depressing. Not to mention the first month of my summer is pretty much dead.
In other news, I went to McDonald's at 10:45am to get a burger before work but the guy at the drive-thru is like sorry we can't give you a burger until 11. I was baffled, so I quickly looked at the breakfast menu, but there's nothing on it, and I don't want to eat an egg McFlurry. Disgusting.
On Saturday, all my rave, party, and drinking plans died on the operating table since I can't walk, so I ended up meeting up with Shawnay who somehow lives 2 blocks from me now, and then we met up with a bunch of ppl to form a very odd group of people that you would never think would hang out. There was a lot of really weird conversations. Like there was this brown guy who got darker because he had just spent way too much time in the sun and was now scared that people would think he was black. Then we discussed if a girl called Angel could grow up and not be a prostitute. And at the lowest point, we tried to figure out how many generations of irish people this filipino girl would have to sleep with before she could have a ginger kid. One guy also recounted a story where he was at a show and a girl on stage shot a banana out of her box and hit him in the leg. Okay maybe that was the low point.
Things aren't really looking up for me, we're all going camping in 2 weeks, but it's not going to be much of a trip for me if I can't even stand up. There goes another one of the funnest weekends of the year..

I think things are finally looking up. Moving out was a great idea, I love constantly hanging out with people, and sure some days you feel like ass or wake up with a bad comb-over that just won't go away, but luckily I live with people where I don't really need to worry about being "on the ball" all the time. It's a really chill household, I like it. The 2 aussies that just moved in are pretty cool, and the people that moved in upstairs are chill too. There's very little chance of them complaining about noise. I wasn't sure if I should move out with April, but things are working out awesome, except once she hid my toothbrush, and I haven't forgiven her since.
I think I'm gonna start going dt to hack more, Centenial square is great since part of it is covered. I hacked there on Friday when it was pouring rain and this 30year old guy joined in who was pretty cool. He stayed for at least an hour or two which was cool, and then security tried to kick us out (???), but we didn't leave since they didn't have a reason, so they called the police, but the police didn't show up for another 45mins, which conveniently was when we were heading out. Instead they yelled at me for not having a helmet, so I told them I was getting on a bus, so why bother. They were speechless, so I hopped back on my bike and rode home since obviously I was lying. Turns out the guy I was hacking with lives on top of a store literally across the street from Centenial, so he gave me his info and told me to drop him a line sometime to hack some more.
I'm volunteering at Chocolate Fest 2009, and I went to the orientation on Friday, I walked in the room just as it started, it was completely packed, and as I walked in everyone in the room turned around to look at me and that's when I realized the room had about 60 girls, and 2 old men. I was kind of out of place, so I just blended in to the side and ate some more chocolate. It was delicious.
I've had a bunch of awesome weekends in a row, hopefully next weekend will be wicked too. I have to work on Friday 3-11pm which is a bit of a hassle, but satuday I'm going up to Duncan for Twisted Minds 3 which should be sweeeeeet. I don't wanna over-hype it up tho, so I my mind I picture it just being 10 people sitting in a circle around a tape player saying things like "man, this music is bumpin', someone pass me the Bugles." Hopefully it doesn't end up being that depressing.

| "My Parents Didn't Let Me Eat Bread Until I Was 16" - Kalyn |
[19 Jan 2009|04:30am] |
I sat down at work one night, and realized I wasn't doing much with my life these days, so I said hey let's switch things up a little. So I told my folks that I randomly decided to move out. I'm only really moving out to meet more ppl. Finding a place to stay is really easy, took me like 2 days, but finding a GOOD place to stay is a little more tricky. Just saw a sweet house today, has 4 other guys living there, all ages 20-25, the 2 guys I met were pretty wicked, although I forget their names already... so if I get the place, then one of you has to introduce yourself to them and find out their names for me.
Other places have been a bit shittier, and some don't make much sense. Like this one place, they tell me that I get free hydro, but then I find out that they don't have a shower. Another house looked sweet, but had the stipulation that you had to be "100% Gluten Free", and you know how I love my gluten. I'm not sure the medical reason for that (...dr.Adrian? tell me why?). Another place said that it was a Palace, and that they were really hot, and anyone who wanted to live there had to be really hot as well. I guess that's only a little shallow.
Since I'm moving out, I finally got a cell phone. My number is 884-6348, which spells some pretty f-ed up stuff, like tug-me-48, 8-time-it, 88-hoe-it, and 88-ho-dive. I'm only paying $36 a month, and have a sweet plan, so I'm happy about that. Kalyn accidentally stole my cell phone charger, so I had to drive to her house and get it, and when I arrived, her parents invited me to stay over and eat chicken. How sweet of them.
Anyways, I'm probably gonna be roaming around these next days, looking at more places, talking to more ppl, I'm already having more fun and I haven't even moved out yet. If you wanna join in, gimme a call and I'll come pick you up, and then we'll go to DQ because I need to get there before February, since the January blizzard of the month is awesome. I don't remember what it is, all I remember is seeing the sign and being like THAT'S AWESOME! Then someone honked at me because I was swerving around.
