Sorry I missed the memo that today was National...
It’s not uncommon for me to get unsolicited comments from total strangers. Normally it doesn’t bother me, but today it seemed to be worse than usual, and it really got under my skin. So I’m going to bitch about it on the internet. Obviously.
Here are just three examples of the shit people said to me during my 4h shift at work today. I’m writing them down as word-for-word...

“I have the paycheque for you! So tonight you go to the bar, right?”

Childhood jams
I have the Sharon, Lois and Bram version of Dream a Little Dream stuck in my head and I can’t find it anywhere to listen to (even on the interwebs! i checked!)
And as much as I love Ella Fitzgerald (more than you might expect), her actually good version with Count Basie is just. not. cutting. it. right. now.
I need my childhood jams and i need them now!

Canada Is About To Pass Sopa’s Evil Little... →

bitchiestwitch:
“I’m a Canadian.
We’re a quiet bunch; prone to enjoying hockey, drinking stronger beer than our friends south of the border, and lovers of fries smothered in cheese curds and gravy.
We also, apparently, have an inferiority complex when it comes to being evil dirt bags, because we’ve decided to pass our very own version of SOPA up here.
Only better*

coffeejusayo a réagi à votre photo : Nails of the Week! dark red tips on a peach…
My favorite part about tips are that I can hardly ever get mine to be neat, but unless you get really close you can’t tell 8)
oh god, that is my life. i’m pretty shaky in general, and it doesn’t help that I usually do my nails right after work so i’m a tired, over-caffeinated mess. i usually...

LTF and I are studying
We’re at a cafe that we’ve never been to before. They have fantastic fair-trade coffee that isn’t even that expensive! And I just got a delicious, fresh waffle with apple brandy butter and it is SO. GOOD.
The place is called Transcend. If you know where I live, you should go there.

Old, old, OLD!
Ok, so not only do i have crowsfeet, forehead wrinkles, prominent laugh lines, and regularly dress like a granny, I FOUND MY FIRST GREY HAIR TODAY!
I am 19. This is NOT FAIR!
Yes, this is the extent of my problems. Yes, I’m still upset.

No Face Tattoo?
i think it would be quite creepy awesome to get a no face tattoo like this one but on the back of the neck so that it stares down everyone behind you as creepily as possible.
overflowingcharm a réagi à votre billet : overflowingcharm a réagi à votre billet : Floppy…
This is both alarming and a bit sad.
yes, it is a bit alarming and sad, but to be fair i spent far more time with music teachers and performing at concerts than i ever did in front of a computer in elementary school.
so proportionally speaking i guess it was a solid allocation of resources?
overflowingcharm a réagi à votre billet : Floppy Disks
how old are you really? By the time I was using computers for stuff like school and whatnot, the floppy disc had gone the way of the dodo. Grade Six? That was like 2004! Most people I know stopped using floppy disc in like 1997
haha nope! grade 6 it was. Remember, I went to ~special school~ so they spent all our public funding on expensive...

Floppy Disks
I was working in the computer lab with two of the girls I tutor. I was reminding them to save their work when it occurred to me that they might not know what the “save” symbol is.
So I asked them “hey, do you know what that little symbol is?”
Girl 1: “Save!”
Me: “Yes, but what is it, actually?”
Girl 2: “Umm… is it maybe like…...

scrupulosity: I am proud of you for not saying anything actually. No need to add more anger in the world.
but if i had piped up, i guarantee he would have been surprised shitless and probably dumbfounded. it was crowded, so i doubt i would have been in any actual danger, and i would have put a total dick in his place.

Regret
As I was trying to get to an empty seat on the bus today, some asshole with his legs reaching half way into the aisle called out “you could sit on my lap instead, baby!” at me as I was trying to get by.
I regret not bitching him out so bad for it.
But no. I averted my eyes and shuffled past him as quickly as I could.
I wish I’d given him a piece of my mind :(

Dear Government of Canada (pt2),
Asking if I have an educational specialization in “First Nations Management” gives off a really bad impression. just saying. i know that’s sort of how you view things, but at least have the decency to pretend otherwise.
on another note, what sort of government jobs are available for those who check off “interior design” as their educational specialization. are you...

Dear Government of Canada,
you’ve got to be kidding me
Yes, I think i know of the internet. it’s that place…with all those rambunctious youth people, isn’t it?
(although, if you employ me because I am well acquainted with the internet, all the power to you and your stupid check boxes.)
but seriously. i could check all of these boxes because technically speaking, i “know” of their...

“Please Note: Using your browser’s navigation buttons “Forward”...”
– Sorry, government of Canada, but last I checked, buttons generally do what they say they will, unlike our prime minister’s election campaigns.

when i need to exfoliate my face i mix about half a cube of the scrub with some water and it emulsifies nicely and then i rub it in to my skin, rinse off with a warm washcloth, then cleanse with my regular face soap. my skin is so smooth and soft for days after ^^

If you need a life-long ally
Anyone who wants to make me a large-ish batch of cream cheese icing and not judge me for eating it with a spoon would secure themselves a g-nomey’s best friend membership card with no expiration date.
just saying.
cream cheese icing is good, good stuff.

Confiture de la Pauvreté
My family has decided that I need a good scout leader name. I don’t. Most of the other scout leaders don’t use the tooly scout names. My family is eager to ignore that fact.
Bad suggestions so far:
Little sister says I should do something space-related. Like a star name with lots of numbers in.
Chômage (unemployment. i’m not unemployed…)

Oh dear...
My sister mentioned she's been listening to a lot of kpop these days.
Me: What have you been listening to?
Her: Mmm... some SHINee.
Me: What appeal do you see in SHINee?
Her: Taemin.

Blatantly racist fucks: train edition
I was taking the train from school to my new volunteering. Because it wasn’t very full and everyone else was being a normal, polite public transit patron, everyone in my car could hear the very loud phone conversation of this racist fuck on the train:
“Yeah, so I’m going to eat Chinese food tonight. Yeah like the real shit on the south side. Like they all speak chinese there....

Good stories
my dad’s awesome friend came over for his birthday! this guy has the best stories. especially about my dad.
They used to live with a few other people in an abandoned one-room schoolhouse, living off of subsistence farming and a crude trade economy involving macrame and poorly finished wooden furniture.
he later employed my father as a scrap metal collector in wetaskasquatch back in the...
