Ellen S05 E08 - Emma [1998]

Emma Thompson and Ellen DeGeneres, was a better match ever made? Made my day. I love the accent bit. Too bad it isn't true. Hahaha. Still waiting for Emma to be made a dame.
''An appointment with destiny,'' she announces. ''Let's go out and terrify some Baptists.''

Funny Story...

So last night I was hanging out with some friends, and some friends of friends that I am acquanted with. I spent quite a bit of time talking to one of the guys I was acquainted with. We were having a good time with everybody and hanging out... and before long he starts hitting on me. He was pretty slick too, hahaha. I let it go on for a little while, after like an hour or so he gets more and more... persistent. So I decided to do the right/nice thing and clue him in. Conversation went as follows:

me (quietly): " You might want to put the moves on someone you have a chance with tonight."
him: "Ouch."
me: "You know what I mean. Someone who likes boys."
him: "I thought you were Bi?"
me: "Ummm. No."
him: "Oh, so you're straight... gay. I mean straight... girls. I mean gay."

Then I laughed at him. He kept hitting on me though, haha.
So... that's my new favorite thing. Next time someone asks me if I'm Bi (often), I'm going to tell them I'm "Straight Gay".
Well, I thought it was funny at least.

New Job!!

Oh joy of joys. I get to wear an apron again. Today was my very first shift at the new job. Cow Bay Cafe, get to be work buddies with Britney, yay.
Was a little iffy at first, seeing as how it was decided many years ago that I should never be a waitres. I am clumsy, have a terrible memory, and frankly, I honestly just plain don't like people. I hate that fake smile I have to put on when being nice to people that treat you like crap. But the clientel at the Cafe are generally pretty good, and it's not like it's a huge, really formal restaurant. So we shall see how things turn out. It was better than I expected today anyways. Made wicked tips. So we shall see how things progress.
In general, first days at a new job are really up there on my list of least favorite things. Right after Job Hunting and having my cat walk on my face. First days, you stand around, trying not to look useless, even though you really are. Try to remember at least some of the many things being shown to you, even though you know you won't, and basically try not to screw anything up too badly. Second days aren't much better mind you, then they expect you to know what you're doing a little bit. And by the third day they usually want you to do it on your own. Ugh.
Not that anything I just wrote makes any sense, but I digress.
Gotta give this one some time I suppose.
Off to bed to rest up for next shift... or more accurately watch an entire season of queer as folk, or to play the gameboy I stole from Britney, not sure which yet.

Just made me smile...

Pride Here We Come!!!

I am at this very moment so incredibly excited I cannot stop bouncing and grinning. Vancouver Pride Festival 2007! Yay! In just a month I will be there. I am soooo amazingly excited for my first pride. I get to see Blake, and be there for his first Pride, and Pam's too. My wonderful boss Pam, from Canmore will be there with her partner! Yay Yay Yay!!! I cannot convey my excitement with mere words.
I want to get there by the 2nd, for the European Prides in Conflict Film showing. Damn! Gay Day at Playland is on July 21st. :( so I will miss it. But there's the Dyke March, Pride Parade, the Festival, and something about a Youth Dance I can't seem to find any more information on, not to mention the clubbing, dancing, and very little sleep. Yay Yay Yay.
Looking at the gallery from last year is getting me stoked! The guy with the roller skates is my hero. Note to self: must buy more leather in order to fit in...

Moving Out Week!

No, not me sadly. Everyone else however seems to have wasted no time in getting thier own places. 6 of my friends moved into their own places in the last 3 days. And guess who had to help move. It still hurts when I move.
Britney and three other friends moved into a really cute little house... clear across town :(. But moved out none the less. And I really am excited to have somewhere to hang out when I need to leave my house. I already reserved my private couch. tee hee.
My other two best friends found a basement suite about a block away from that house. I give them two weeks before one of them is bleeding on the floor. And it will be Steph, because she is already driving Jess crazy, and me aswell for that matter (seeing as how I am the councillor). I spent all of Saturday moving all their shit in, how the two of them manage to have so much stuff I will never know. Me and another friend moved everything. Both beds, three pieces each, on our own. And they have a lot of stairs. TVs, dressers, countless bags and boxes. I am so so so sore. I don't think they really understand yet how much they owe me. Moving Britney in was much more fun, way less crap, and we kidnapped some boys to do the heavy lifting.
I am going to be the designated 'handyman/muscle" for both houses however. Doesn't matter how many times I yell at them for calling me a handyman they still do. Jerks. Whatever, I have to find some way to earn my keep since I never going to be leaving.
Me, I am going to start looking for a place as soon as I get back from Vancouver. I got a job this week!!! Cow Bay Cafe! Got the call at 8 o'clock this morning, Yay! Britney and I get to be work buddies! I hope this is going to be good. So Tomi and I (since we are apparently the only ones left) are going to start looking for a place as soon as I get back. This might involve some money borrowing, but I NEED to move out! Before I murder my family and have to move into a cell for life.
I just have to wait until September. September. September...
