Things to note on Friday Oct 30

1) Don't ask your university prof this: "Are you feeling okay today, because you look pretty bad?" In what realm is it okay to ask this?! Sigh. What was I thinking?

1.5) One of my regular baristas looks exactly like Edward Norton. Exactly. If you ever go to that SB, you'll know who I'm talking about. Norton is my all time fave actor. Top notch. Anyway, the barista and I were talking about what he could go as for Halloween. Obvs I suggested E. Norts. Cool Heidi, leave it at that. Nope, I had to go further. Too far in fact. I told him he should go shirtless and smear fake blood on his body so he could be the character from Fight Club. He could even carry around a bar of soap. "Hi, my name is Heidi, I'm a creeper and just recommended you take off your shirt." One, two, three: Awkward!

2) I need to clean out sketchy stuff from my fridge sooner. Shudder.

3) I gave notice to The Blouse. Partially it is because one lady brings out the "arg" in me, but mostly it's because I got more hours at the hotel.

4) I unscrewed my phone, did some stuff, screwed it back together, and loved it up big time with some Lysol. After charging it overnight, it works. Well, except for the number seven. Okay, and only half the screen works, which makes it fun to guess who called. Can I buy a vowel?

5) Freakin' Halloween candy.

Muffin hut love

Two things- okay to specify- two unrelated things:

1) I spotted Karl, yes thee Karl in the muffin hut at my university! I was so excited. I have such a crush on him. He's sooo pretty. Blush.

2) I don't know what to do with my toilet-phone. I never took it apart like I should have, to dry it out. Do I put it back on the charger anyway to see what happens? After Lysoling the heck out of it of course. Should I still open it up to see if it needs to dry? Sigh. My poor phone, where did we go wrong?

Favourite facebook status

"They say that you learn from your mistakes... that's a lie."

Waterlogged

So my phone officially doesn't work. If you tilt it back and forth, you can see the water swoosh behind the display screen. Wicked. Seriously, I can't believe I did that.

On another note... I have officially received news of my placement for my practicum! I get to work with beautiful grade eights at the same school I previously worked at. Hooray. It gets better, my mentor teacher is my favourite coworker. I can't even think of a good pseudonym for her that would aptly capture how fantastic she is. Seriously, this chick can do anything and her kids love her soooo much. If I could have any mentor teacher, I'm luckiest to have her.

Bought mini chocolate bars from Safeway. Halloween candy is seriously the devil. Mmmmm tasty.

Swish

This morning (being noon), I dropped my phone in the toilet just as it was flushing. This is not good. Fortunately it wasn't a cell phone so it couldn't get sucked all the way back, so I was able to reach in, pull it forward and up. It's currently drying out... not sure if it's going to work or not. Can we say "Lysol"?

Glad I didn't poop.

Freedom

Extra large triple triple

Gertrude, not Gerty

I have an alter ego named Gertrude. She wakes up in the middle of the night panicked and tense, and cannot get back to bed sometimes for hours at a time. Usually she wears a puffy robe, crazy hair, and striped slippers that go halfway to her knee.

This year for Christmas I'm thinking of getting her fuzzy pink slippers to switch it up a little.

TGIF

Wow. Today has felt like the most "Friday" of Fridays. I'm so tired. But I've got some candles lit and am going to start on some (class) reading, isn't that what everyone does on the Friday of a long weekend?! I think I'm going to get a T-shirt that reads "So Cool" or maybe "Doing homework is sexy". How about: "Pick me, I'm fun!"

Fifteen more months to go.

I kill me

Today I took a leek. From my landlord's garden that is. Hah haha haha snort hahha.

I need more of a social life.

Through thick and thin

Lately I've been pretty preoccupied with crazy school, crazy work, and crazy whatever else. So distracted in fact, that this morning I ran into the screen on my sliding glass door. Fortunately I didn't bust it or anything, but honestly, who does that?! I felt like a knob. This is not what I pictured the teacher of tomorrow to look like. Ha.

Entitlement or obliviousness?

Today a granny budged in front of me in an ice cream line up. It was a full fledged barge. Another person's jaw dropped at the faux pas and waited for my reaction. I just laughed. Life is too short.

Lunch bags

Ink makes my lunches, snacks, and dinners because my time is so limited. I think I'm the luckiest sister ever :)

SNAP!

Fully got fartboxed in a change room at The Blouse. Didn't see it coming. A cute little lady ripped one, so when I opened the door after she left- WHAM! Like a punch to the nose. Hypothetical blood everywhere. Almost chundered. Shudder.

Can't believe I got fartboxed like that. Brutal.

Maybe I should do the boxing. Maybe I should save up a stinker, let it fester a bit, pull a motorcycle in a change room, and quickly shut the door to trap in the "flavour". Then KAPOW! Some poor sucker would get boxed. They'd never know it was me either.

Sigh... but that would be mean.

Stupid high road.

Dentist mindgames

I don't floss. Well, okay I do, but not that often and my dentist knows this. So I purposely make my appointments for weeks in advance so that I have time to floss a bunch of times. That way it seems like I do it more often. Scandelous. After the appointment I feel so guilty that I vow to floss everyday. It lasts about a week.
