" Hey P!nk, check it out! iPod minis are in Canada now."
" Shut up."
" No for real."
" Whatever."
" I'm serious."
" I believe you."
" Ok....."
Such was the nature of the conversation followed by a mad dash to the computer, a frantic sign-on to Apple.ca and a quick discovery that, indeed, they were now here, waaay up north. You mean they have battery recharger-friendly outlets in igloos? Who'da thunk...
So I've only wanted one of these since, oh, THE DAY I WAS BORN!
Ok maybe that's a little extreme, but at least since the day THEY were born! And now there it was, my little green jewel, only a credit card number, $442.32, 4-6 week's shipping, and a mouse click away! But wait...that's a lot of clothes...and those cute pink and brown shoes from Bata...and those red pointy-toed boots from Transit...and that rollerblade brake...and a hairdo..and...and...I HAVE TO HAVE IT! but first I need a credit card..that's a hurdle and a half.
" Mom, I need to borrow your credit card to drop half a grand on a piece of electronic equiptment smaller than the palm of my hand, ok?"
" Sure honey. Whatever you need."
RRRRRight. I had thrown in the towel before the mental scene even ended. I'll just settle for...my broken CD burner*tear*
I turned on iTunes and busted out my favorite live track..the one that I would never be able to crank on my subwoof-ified stereo..or show to my friends......unless of course I hooked up my iPod mini to my stereo with an auxilary cable...
Once again, it was the live music that did me in. I swallowed the lump of fear in my throat and went and knocked on my parent's bedroom door. It opened.
"um...Can I please borrow your credit card? I'll pay you back tomorrow, I promise."
" You're not going to wait for it to get cheaper?"
" No! Stuff like this takes forever to get cheaper."
(To my Dad)" Is Apple.com a good enough place to buy something from?"
" Oh yeah, sure."
I see a banana, and he's going for a credit card....and just wait...HE GOT THE CARD!
So let's get this sucker ordered, it'll be obselete by the time it gets here anyway...
A credit card novice and slightly nervous, it took me several tries to get the number typed out right, not to mention my brother hanging over my shoulder and my mom pacing nervously around me. "I'm just waiting to get my card back."
RRRRRight...you're just don't want us to SPREE!!!MUAHAHAHAHhahaha..hahaha..ha *cough cough* Anyhoo...
To make a long story short, the order went through and my baby is on its way!!!! Maybe I should rephrase that....whatever.
It wasn't until after the card had been returned that we realised we should have got the Yellowcard tickets...oops.

Band Tee's and slimy kittens
T-Minus two months until RAWKD@TE! Spent a great deal of time looking at band Tee's online today. Our goal? To come home with as much of the band's equiptment as possible, mostly picks, drum sticks and such. And, I'm buying a hoodie.
I would just like to rant that since the closing of TFM, WALMART *spits* is now the only place in town to buy cd's and their selection is crap. When I went to the checkout and they asked me if I found everything I was looking for, I lied and said yes.
If I have to drive an hour and a half everytime I want to buy a cd...
~Currently thinking about opening a new CD store as well as a movie theatre.
My heroic deed of the day? Climbing into the greasy slimy mostly-likely-AIDS-infested bar dumbster to save a savagely wild hissing black kitten, with a minnow net after I had just showered and running late for work.

Swing Swing
Swing swing from the tangles of my heart, it's crushed by a former love. Can you help me find a way to carry on again?
So I called up my recently-moved-out sis, or she called me rather, and we decided to get a movie. She came over and dragged me along with her to the video store. I didn't want to go, but I had no say in the matter. After having worked a stressful 7:30 to 3:30 shift, I came home and slept for an hourish and didn't bother to shower. So there I was looking like crap and being held against my will. We get half a block from my house when I see that mainstreet is blocked off. To make matters worse, the WHOLE STREET is full of hotties! Why? Cruise Night 2004. Where all the special vehicle junkies put their babies on display. It's like walking through an episode of Overhaulin. So we walk through the crowd, i'm hoping im invisible, and arrive at the movie store. We get the DVD, and take off. BUT OF COURSE my sister has to run into her friends parents, and inevitably ends up talking for 45 mins while I stand there. I find out that the one car I liked ( a red mustang) belongs to my former physics teacher. Laughing out loud. As well, the little hockey player sitting behind where we were standing had a rotweiler puppy, so I dealt. FINALLY we get home and watch the movie. The Prince And Me. Saw it in the theatre. Good kissing movie.
Worked a trippy 11-7 shift today.LOOOVED sleeping in till ten. First time in forever on a Saturday, although finding myself ready to leave at 10:15, I wished I had slept longer, but I woke up to my stereo cranking Collective Soul, so it was all good. Wanted to come home and pump it out on the subwoofer upstairs but my bro said the family was back from the lake. Chuck that idea. At some point during the evening, a couple of extemely loaded men (and I dont mean money) came through drive-thru asking for a bowl of jello, a cheezwhiz sandwich, and a bottle of vodka. A short while previous, a man missing most of his teeth spent about five minutes telling me that he didn't like the color of a car that drove by. It was green and quite frankly, I LOVED the color! I tried to tell him that but he kept mumbling something about puke green and wouldn't listen. Dude, if your puke is that color, maybe you should see a doctor, buddy. Came home and ran, according to the rents, 4 miles, then had supper. I am now, sad to admit, trying to download some tunes. Fell in love with a coupla wide mouth songs but I can't find the one I really liked. Anywhere, not even on their website. Maybe it's a new release....Anyone heard of Indecision???????

So Much Time, So Little Concerts...
Wellllll the summer is almost over and let me be the first to say that this one has SUCKED but what can ya do? Too much work and not enough play.....ho hum. Last night i went to see WIDE MOUTH MASON at the fair. That rocked out loud. I wanted to go on the Ferris wheel ( no connection to my name) but tickets are a BUCK each and it took 4! soooo i cheaped out and didnt go. We went to the "petting" zoo and there was a llama! I wanted to pet it but it looked evil, and everytime i stuck my hand out, I got creeped and withdrew. Seriously twisted llama. I wanted to go to the demo derby tonight but no one to go with...sigh...Is it just me or it freezing these days? Fall better hold off for a bit.
I would like to announce that, since the tragic *tear* breakdown of my CD burner, I have been doing it the legal way and have recently bought...FOUR CDs! This is a record for me. They include..Spiderman 2 soundtrack, Dashboard Confessional, Emm Gryner, and Maroon 5. I soon hope to add to my collection The Get Up Kids. Good band. Check it out. To anyone who i promised a CD to, I am sorry, it may not come for a while....
Went and saw Princess Diaries 2 on Tues. Goodish. The guy was hot, but there were soooo many little tweenybopperz running around. Like, Let's, like, go shopping! *rolls eyes* When is Cinderella Story coming...?!??!?!
Currently listening to Yellowcard. Countdown to RawkD@te: two months and three days. Yuck thats a long time.
Heard on the radio today that it's almost back to school time. Muahahhaa not for this chik! I'm done baby, and I aint goin back!...for a while. Was gonna take a photography class but its gonna cost almost 600 bux. Thought i'd wait till next year and settle for my disposable camera and the library photography section.
My new enemy? Tim Hortons NEW Toffee Glazed Donuts©. I swear on my life I made 500 of those things today. Stressful? no of course not, but when you can't even stockpile those things fast enough before they sell out and the oven will be out of order for an hour during rush hour. Oh well, all goes down as Good Timez@Timz.
Ok ok i cracked and have decided to conform *sniff* and give up my pink shoes for black boring soon-to-be-dress-code "special slip resistant"ones. It was hard, I admit. But my days there are limited and if I gotta wear the shoes to make them happy then fine. BUT I am putting P!nk laces in them.
