The Valedictory Elegy

When it rains, it pours

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 19:38:44 GMT

Am I the only one who hates to be asked 'How are you?'/'What's up?'/variant? Most of the time I use a noncommittal answer but it doesn't really mean anything in the end does it? When I'm not going well chances are I won't feel like discussing it first thing in the conversation! Besides, anyone and everyone asks 'how are you' and I'm not comfortable discussing how I'm actually feeling with most people who ask. So complicated... ^^;

That aside, bluie2323 has been going through some hard times lately and I really feel for her. I wish I wasn't far away and that I could be physically there for her. I've been feeling angry and sad over it all morning.
I'll just keep sending her happy thoughts and ~~obscene~~ text messages on her cell. Hang in there Bluieberry~! ♥

Also, I've been working on my Tea Guide a little bit. I'll have to find a web host one of these days to actually host it. Of course the simple design I came up with ended up being ridiculously complicated to program. I worked on it for hours and I still can't get the menu to work how I want it to (on Firefox AND IE). I've got a good chunk of text written out though. :D

Speaking of tea, the tea house near work opened a second floor for tea courses. I went to one course there before and it was nice. It was many years ago though. I convinced (granted it was a lot easier than I thought it would be) my roommate to sign-up for their course on pairing food and tea. Hopefully it'll be more than 'black tea: main course, other tea: desert'. XD Probably. They're good, even though they act a bit like elitists sometimes.

It's a long weekend this weekend! I don't really have plans but I do need to go to the mall. I desperately need to find an idea and subsequently materials for my Halloween costume. I still don't really have any event to wear it to except the coffee break thing at work. Sara invited me to some dance at the Laval University (apparently jpop/harajuku/rave/?? themed) but I don't really feel like going. It's probably going to filled with loud techno music and weeaboos. Not really my thing...

I randomly stumbled upon some SIREN game series music and it was good! I then went on a wild hunt for whole soundtracks and was successful! Most of the tracks aren't really easy to listen to unfortunately. It's kind of like a Silent Hill OST; most of the tracks are random noises/babies crying/moans/I'm-not-sure-I-want-to-find-out-what-that-noise-was but some of the tracks are awesome music (usually vocals). If anyone is interested let me know! [CREEPY SIREN SAMPLE MUSIC]
Now, I'm extremely curious to see the actual game. Must find playthroughs on YouTube....

Which reminds me; MY L2 LOVExLOOP OST FINALLY, FINALLY SHIPPED! I never thought I'd live to see the day this CD would get shipped to me. Why was it so hard to get a hold of? I'll never know! I even pre-ordered it MONTHS in advance!! This better be the best soundtrack I have listened to in a long time. If the preview is anything to go by it should be. I also ordered the OP/ED single CD from Lucian Bee's since I couldn't find the long versions anywhere and I wanted the free shipping. Ironically, they shipped them SEPARATELY when I specifically asked them not to. At least they didn't charge me extra for it. I swear the LovexLoop CD is cursed.

Lastly, I FINALLY have in my hot little hands Nippon Ichi's Witch Tale. FINALLY (also) after waiting a ridiculously long time for the US release. I shall put it on top of my equally ridiculously high pile of Games to Play. Emphasis on the ridiculously high.

Oh, and a coworker (the part timer but not the APT...) got the URL to my LJ out of me at work so he's probably sniffing around this blog right now... HIYA THAR FRANKY! WHATCHA DOING HERE?! TRYING TO DIG UP SOME DIRT ON ME AREN'T CHA?! AREN'T CHA?!?!?!

Happy Valentine's Day flist! (don't forget to buy discount chocolate tomorrow!)

I got tired of my Heart no kuni no Alice layout and made a Will O Wisp (ウィル・オ・ウィスプ) one. I wanted to use another image (one of the main characters with their clothes exchanged xD) but the colour scheme didn't work out so I used the teatime illustration. I hope you guys like the new layout~~ :D

I've been trying to download the latest album from Love Solfege for a while now. I found ONE torrent and it never had any seeds. I almost bought the CD but instead I bought the latest Pop'n Music (Party 16) soundtrack and some random album from THE STAND UP. I kind of regretted it because I didn't like as many songs as I thought I would in the PnM OST. The ones I really liked were short version only and the ones I didn't care much for had long versions! ^^;;; (Why is it always that way?!)

This week I decided to leave the torrent software open and miraculously it downloaded all day yesterday. It stopped in the evening at 99.6% (again, WHY!?!). It's a .rar file so I couldn't do anything but wait. I left it overnight and the missing 0.4% downloaded, much to my relief. x____x

It turned out to be CUE and TAK files. The CUE wouldn't burn on a CD because it needed the TAK file but nothing I had recognized the TAK file. I looked online and no one seemed to know TAK files. I finally found a reply on some random forum saying to get the foobar2000 music player. It sounded like strange advice to me (especially since the person who wrote it had a 'so' every two words and didn't make much sense). I had nothing else to go on, so I downloaded it. It didn't work, BUT, it worked after I downloaded the foobar2000 TAK decoder add-on. =____= So, now I finally have the Luxury ~ classical best CD!!!!!! :D

If anyone is interested, I put it up on sendspace Love Solfege - Luxury ~ classical best. (My favourite tracks so far are BABEL, Due destini, Ricordi and presto agitato).
**Edit Dec. 05th: Here is Love Solfege's older album La Fatalité for acexkeikai~♥ (I have another album from them somewhere 'Le Blanc et Le Noir', but I can't find it...)
Love Solfege - Mignon

I also found a way to access files from a .rar file I had gathering dust on my desktop. The Japanese characters in the compressed files names were corrupted and it wouldn't extract. I could access the files by double clicking on them and listen to them straight from the rar file though. I finally realized today that I just had to listen to the files in Media Player Classic and 'save as' the file with another name and outside of the rar file. I feel kind of stupid for not thinking about it sooner. ^^;;

I uploaded that to sendspace too in case someone wanted to listen. It's all of the 'Classic Collection' albums from La Corda D'oro. The files names were lost therefore I had to improvise from CDJAPAN's track info. Some of the track titles are probably inaccurate but I did my best! ^^;

I am so glad it's Friday! This week seemed interminable! I don't know why! I was doing something interesting at work this week up until today. (Today is tedious and boring, at least I have good music!)
Last Wednesday was the last sewing meet for this semester. It starts again sometime in January (14th I think?). Before I moved I had bought two kinds of blouse fabric to remake the Blouse of the Devil (aka Mitsuru's) but I didn't have my pattern with me when I bought it. I explained the blouse to the salesperson and she assured me I would have plenty of fabric with 1.6 metre. I was doubtful because the blouse is all puffed long sleeves and (hell raised) pin tucks but she said she sewed blouses all the time. I trusted her. Much later, I finally gather the courage to dig around for my fabric boxes and realize with horror that the back of my pattern specifies 2.6 metres. Precisely, ONE meter more than what I had bought. I was really discouraged because: one, it was fabric from the summer collection and is now long gone at the store, two, I really love the fabric and it's just perfect for the Blouse (That Got Kicked Out Of Hell).

I asked my sewing teacher if there was anything that could be done and she worked a miracle somehow. We managed to cram nearly all of the pieces on 1.6 metre of fabric; I'm still not sure how we managed it. The only thing we had to change was remove the (nightmarish) pin tucks from the sleeves, which I was pondering doing before I realized I had less fabric and the ones from the back, which I was going to remove anyway. We also took out piece 4, and replaced it by adding some fabric to the front piece.

I hope I can make myself work on it during the holidays. I want to finish it before the sewing meets start again in 2009. I should really find a cosplay idea and get that started in 2009. x___x I don't even know who to cosplay. Usually, I'm more inspired but this year I didn't play games much. It's very time consuming and expensive.

4th
I've been looking up games and trying to find a suitable character. I know someone who will be cosplaying from Disgaea but none of the characters appeal to me. The female healer is cute but it's an unimportant character. I'm probably going to be on my own a lot this year. I want to pick a character that will be easily recognizable without other cosplayers from the same game around.
I noticed a new Suikoden (Tierkreis) coming out and looked at the characters but the problem with Suikoden is that it's hard to tell if the character will be a popular character or one of the 'collectible' ones. Personally, I like this character and this one too. The second one seems unimportant and she wasn't in any or the video trailers. The first one was featured in the trailer but she didn't play a major part. It's really hard to tell if that has any significance in the game. I think this character is important? I'm not sure I like her though.
There are also the Star Ocean remakes. The first one is out and the second is coming up this winter. I don't really like any of the characters/designs of the second one though. :/ The main female character of the first game seems fine. I'm worried she might have a terrible personality (if the female lead of the second and third games are anything to go by). Meh~~~

Can't wait for the weekend!! (I need to vacuum! XD)

They closed down the university after all. At 9h30. I spent 1h30 at work for nothing!! Gaaargh!

Getting back here wasn't easy. x____x The wind is so strong it's nearly impossible to walk! I had to take a break every couple of steps! x______x

It turns out the person responsible for making the decision to close the building in case of storm was being stubborn and wouldn't close the university so a superior took the decision for them. -__-

**EDIT:
Fé: *looks at the backyard* Oh, I wonder what these black rectangles things are! :3
Fé: *chills on the couch*
*WHAM*
Fé: :3 ?
*black rectangles raining from the roof*

The roof is falling apart!

**Edit #2:

The black stuff half buried in snow is my roof. T_T

Humm..

Giant snow storm outside... Up to 50 cm of snow and winds close to 100 km/h... Some road are closed... All elementary & high schools are closed... Some CEGEPs (but not Sainte-Foy of course, :P)

I wonder if my university closed... They didn't mention it on TV. ;_; I thin they usually do. Don't want to go outsideeeeee. T_T

I think I'll call work to see if they're really open before I leave. T____T I mean with the roads closed no one is gunna show up so might as well close... right? With my luck I'll have to make it in to work and they'll close at noon so my whole day is going to be spent braving the snow. -__-

I changed my LJ email to my gmail too. >:(
I hope they resolve it because it's easier to check my hotmail emails than gmail. GRR!

Let's take a moment to pause and reflect....HUM

Tue, 17 May 2005 18:47:48 GMT

Ahem, hello, you, oh, reader!

Since I had nothing better do to on my lunch break, I decided to look at what I wrote on my LJ at the same date (actually it's on the 18 because I didn't post anything on the 17th ^^;; ). Let me tell you one thing, I wonder what happened to my well written english since then! Therefore, I'll try to write my entries with a bit more style from now on!
It's weird how, a year from today, I was asking myself the same questions, such as; how do I organize my stuff? how come I never clean even if I really should?! Can I be organized AND STAY THAT WAY!?!?!? I guess that's just how I am... ^^;;
However, I like to think that I did improve! I mean... I do the dishes now! And...umm.... sometimes my bedroom is clean! I even helped Sara clean the bathroom and appartment the other day! And I bought a big bookcase to organize my magazines and books(which reminds me; I still need to buy boxes for what didn't fit into the bookcase, and call some charity organization so they can come and pick up my old improvised bookcase)! Oh, and I did organize my CDs, not the way I had thought of back then, but I did!
It's nice to see that some of the things I said I would do are done(even if it took one year)! *proud* ^_^

Last week end, I went shopping with Sara! We both had a long list of items we had to buy, and after check marking only the first 2 or 3 items on the list, we looked at the time and we had to go already! I still have so many things I need to buy! This reminds me, when we went to Simons I bought a new shirt and a pink cowboy hat! It's so cool! I love cowboy hats! *ignores the stranges looks she's getting from her friends* XD; I hope I get to wear it soon! I meant to wear it to work today but I forgot it on the back of a chair! ;0;
Anyways... there was something I wanted to say about that... But I forgot. Oh right! After shopping I went to my piercer's and he changed the jewel on my lip! No more half-washed off purpleish spike now! It's a bright purple and pink butterfly! ^_^ I think it looks very cute, but I'm always touching it to make sure it's not upside down. ^^;;

On the good news, I'm halfway through my kendo course! Soon.... the unbearable pain, the blisters and the splinters will be GONE FOREVER!!!!!!!! Remind me not to suscribe to something that isn't officially labelled as 'FUN' next time I plan of suscribing somewhere. ^^;
Well at least I didn't give up, I went through with it (so far) even though I don't like it!

Food is good.

I just know I had something else to say..... Oh right! I have a tea workshop tonight! It was supposed to be last week, but there wasn't enough people suscribed so they reported it. I hope it's going to be fun! A lot of people from my coworker's boyfriend's family are going to be there (along with my coworker's boyfriend) so I'm a little nervous about not recognizing him and him recognizing me,etc ^^; (I saw him a few times when he went to pick up his girlfriend). Anyways it should be fine! ^_^

ps: to my Philosophical Anonymous Commenter; whoever you are, thank you for enlightening my posts with your thoughtfulness (even if I didn't reply to any of it XD)

FRIDAY 13th!!! RUN, HIDE!! Or try your luck!

Fri, 13 May 2005 18:15:05 GMT

DUN...DUN...DUUUUUN!
Be scared! we are Friday the 13th! *evil laughter*

Ok! Now that's this is over it, I haven't posted in a few days so I thought I'd write something!

Last night, Sara(REPLY!)and I worked on Sara's(REPLY) Wolfram costume! I didn't feel like it, for one reason or another, but in the end it was lots of fun! I really like making things!
It makes me wonder if I shoulnd't have become a seamstress or something else...
Sara(REPLY) is getting better at sewing! All I did was tell her what to do (she had trouble visualizing the sewed pieces in her head) and think of a way to do a few things on the dress we weren't sure about and she sewed everything! All I sewed was a bit of leftover fabric to try something fast. Sara's(REPLY) costume is so much easier than mine was! Next year I'm definitly picking a costume that can be found on a pattern or a slightly modified pattern! It's so easier!

I had to get up super early for work this morning! I'm gunna be so tired tonight! The worse is I woke up at 5 AM for NO REASON and couldn't fall asleep again -___- At some point I was just telling myself that I should get up now and arrive super early at work since I was awake anyways! We had the team building meeting at 8h30 am x_x It was fun! I hope it'll help me talk to more people at work and get to know them better and them know me!
I think I learned about myself too and what kind of personality I have troubles getting along with and why. It just explained a few things ^^; All the people I more or less get along with were in the same group (the one opposite to mine)! And I think I understand better why I have troubles getting along with Etienne sometimes too! (No offence Dez) It's just that I'm the kind of person who likes harmony and will do absolutly anything to preserve harmony/respect/happy sheep/etc, so when people are arguing or trying to argue with me/someone else, it disturbs the harmony and I feel bad ^^;
I think everyone I know should pass the MBTI test! That way we'd know each other better and maybe it'd help understanding them and avoid conflicts and misunderstandings!
In the end, my type is ISFP! (I changed it along the way because I am not a J AT ALL *laughs*) Oh no! This means I have only one similar letter to Nym and it's the introverted ;0; But.. I love you Nym! Please still be my friend!!!

This afternoon I have to go to Sainte-Foy for my first english lesson!! I hope everything goes well >_< *nervous* I don't really know what I should bring so I'll just stick with a pen and paper. We'll probably be talking about what I want to learn and not really do much english. :( Which reminds me; I need to think of some kind of answer to that ^^; I don't really have anything in particular I want to improve. Well I really want to improve my listening because I can't understand english with any other accent than the international/by the book/fancy hotel clerk one (well that's more like NO accent... anyways) ^^;;; Hummm and I want more vocabulary but I don't really have any particuliar group of event associated with the words I wanna learn so that might be tricky.... I hope it'll go fine ^^;

Well I better wrap things up here and get ready to go >3<
Baibai!

Update again because I have sudden inspiration!

Fri, 06 May 2005 15:28:41 GMT

Sara and I dyed my Nel wig this week! There was red dye absolutly everywhere! (including Sara's right arm, my left hand, and there's 2 red spots on the living room floor we couldn't get rub off ^^;;; oops!)
It turned out OK! It's not even, but it looks like we meant it to look that way, so it's not too bad... ^^; It was some kind of #FF1200 red (see web colors) and now the layers underneath are more like #C11E1E and the top is part that color, part something like #EE1F09. It's a lot better than before! But I think I would've liked it more pinkish. Oh well, it doesn't really matter! ^^ Now, all I need to do is style the bangs and it'll be all done!
We still need to do Sara's Wolfram(sp?) wig! It's blond platinium and she wants it slightly more golden/yellow. So we're going to dye only the layers underneath and maybe a few streaks on top! It'll look nice! This wig desesperatly needs styling too, the nonexistant bangs are wrong and I think we should curl some random locks of hair (correct vocabulary?)...!

AN is coming up so fast, sometimes I worry I won't have everything ready on time! >_< I still need to finish painting my Nel scarf and I'm nervously waiting for a shipping notice from the lady I commissioned parts of my Nel costume from... She said she'd email me either yesterday or today! *checks inbox compulsivly* After I get them, I need to attach them to my costume and find a way to make the leggings stay UP! Does anyone has suggestions for that? ?.?
Since Etienne tld me he was worried my stuff would take up all the car and there'd be no room left, I'm worried about it! :( I have to think of a way to organize my luggages so it takes no room! ;-; *thinks hard* ummm I'll have some of my clothes.... including petticoats and fluffly skirts.... lots of makeup..... Kei in his separate bag.. my costume (which doesn't take up a lot of space so far, I need to see how big the corset is and if it can be folded once I get it)... and the wigs which will have to sit on our laps through the whole trip ^^;; I could probably fit everything into my big putumayo bag... but I'm worried it might be too big! >_< Argh... I'll think of something!
Kei isn't that big, but if we really need the space maybe I'll leave him home... I don't really know what I'm going to do with him there (except show him to Bluie! ^_^). There's gunna be some doll pannel, but I'm probably not going to spend too much time there.. I wrote a few messages to the people organizing the pannel.. and they weren't very friendly.. they just didn't seem to care unless you were their friends already or were a god of DoA. -__-;
ANYways.

This morning when I was walking from the bus stop to work, I was attacked by an army of tourists! I've never seen so many tour buses in my entire life, and I work right beside the most visited parts of the city! There was like 10 of them!!! O_O It was weird! I like tourists, but I like the ones that come on their own better ^_^ They're usually nicer and seem to appreciate the place more. I remember once I was trying to go to the bus stop from work, after the day was over, and there was this tour bus filled with FRENCH PEOPLE *sends hate*. Urgh I hate french people, especially parisians. I'm sure some of them are OK but most I met or heard of are complete assholes. The damn tourists were blocking the whole sidewalk (which was pretty large) and when they saw I was trying to pass they didn't move. I said 'Excuse me, can I pass?' like ten times to no avail, and then I just walked in the lot. And they STILL didn't move! I had to push and shove my way through them! Can you believe that???? ARGH! I would've punched every single one of them. *mutters* Grawrg.
(Parisians also thouroughly insulted a coworker who went on vacations to Paris for 2 weeks one week ago. So I'm all like GRARDIEFRANCEDIE! ^^;; )
Oh well, I guess I can't be too harsh with bus tour tourists since I'm probably going to become one of them this summer! ^^;;

Onto the good news: IT'S FRIDAY! We have some kind of event with the departement this afternoon. Our boss came up with that on a high or something... both the coworkers I hang with are participating so it should be fun! The boss calls it team building. He's hiring some international adviser in personal developpement and organisations... *stares at long meaningless title* Yeah. So we're going to fill in some personality test (called MBTI?) and then talk about it and do ... stuff. It lasts 3 days (but it's not full days)!
At first I wasn't sure I was going to go, but the boss had me come in his office, closed the door, and told me he wanted me to go. So I didn't really have a choice... ^^; I wonder why he wanted me to go so badly though. Maybe it's because I'm young and dress weird and he hopes it helps me get better.... or get along better with the rest of the department, but I already get along with everyone very well... go figure! -___-;
I hope it'll be fun! the first part is this afternoon from 2 to 3h30!

Which reminds me; next Friday is a 13th!!!! Bring your black cats and ladders to work!

ARREHGHGSDHH!!

I FORGOT MY PAINKILLERS AT HOME!
I want to die! ;0;

*writhes in pain*
Anyone knows good painkillers for montly cramps? I'm going to stop by the pharmacy during my lunch break ;0;

The pain..... the pain! ;o;

Selphie: "I had such a nice dream..." Squall: "I didn't...I dreamt I was a moron..."

Wed, 04 May 2005 20:45:43 GMT

I had, like, loads of things to say but I went on a meeting and it ate my brain. Damn.
I remember I wanted to whine about Pink House making 61cm waists only... what else?

It's really weird, I'm super tired lately... I go to sleep early (well, relativly early) and I don't think I do something that really tires me... I don't know!
I started kendo on Monday, maybe it drained more energy out of me than I thought. It's been a few days and I'm still sore all over! It hurts when I walk ^^;;
I'm not sure I like kendo, it's... weird! ^^; It's very demanding! I'm devlopping a new kind of respect towards kendo masters. x__x Well, only... 8 classes left!! I can do it!! GO ME! GO ME!!!!!!!
Hummm... this also mean about 8 classes of cardio latino left! YAY!

OMG! When I was in the bus this morning there was this guy sitting across me and, at some point, he pulled out some glasses case from his bag. I was like; OK he's gunna take off his glasses. Then, he picked out some kind of big pen from it and started to unscrew the end of it.... IT WAS A SYRINGE!!!!!!!! I still can'T believe that guy gave himself a shot of whatever in the bus... THE BUS! IT MOVES, HELLO?? And he didn't even wait for it to stop at a red light to do his thing... urk, I was feeling really uneasy. I was doing my best to look elsewhere -___- *sighs* It was just weird.

Umm what else? I think I'm slowly becoming addicted to Harukanaru Toki no Naka de! Well not really addicted... just... <3 <3 <3 men wearing traditional looking japanese clothes!!! <3 <3 <3
And that's it.
To satisfy my need for men in traditional looking japanese clothes further, I also bought (for really really cheap) a copy of Samurai Warriors! (Now if only the seller would ship the item already!!!! SHIP IT , DO IT NOW!!)

Does anyone remembers when I was talking about taking english lessons? You know all those months ago? XD Well my request was FINALLY looked at by the comity and accepted!!! So from now on, I'm having 10 weeks of english lessons on Fridays! Well I hope it's going to be on Fridays.... They still need to get back to me about the time and day. The teacher I'm going to have was out of town and came back today! I hope I get a chick! >3<

Well I think that's it.. there's more but I don't feel like writting about it now that my tummy hurts this much (thank you monthly cramps).

I'm scarred for life now... I just woke up to a chick autopsying a DEAD SQUIRREL in front of my appartement building! Just WTF????????
She was messing around with it with sticks of wood on the ground, checking out the holes (I think it was attacked by crows so it had wounds) and flipping it over for like 20 minutes... OMFG!

But there's WORSE. She left with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She impaled it on a big branch and LEFT WITH IT!!!!
WHAT THE FUCK??????

I'm traumatized.

Ah~! Me is gloomy!!! Me is fed up of being gloomy!! I blames it on the goddamn rain!! *shakes fist at the sky* KURSES YOU! KURRRSES YOUUUU!!!!

Ahhh! I feel a little better now! I haven't posted anything worth reading in forever (have I ever posted anything worth reading? hahah, probably once or twice!)!

So what's new in my boring life? Hummm..

Last week end, I tried a new hairdresser in my city, since the one I go to (in my hometown) broke a leg (pretty badly too) right after new years' and is still recovering (I did say it was pretty bad). I wanted elumen dye, cuz this stuff rocks, so I checked on the goldswell (sp?) website to find the closest salon having it. It turns out it's farther up chemin sainte-foy, (the street I live on, that crosses about the whole city) so I was pretty lucky! I wasn't sure the bus got that far on the street though, so I had Etienne drive me there before my appointement so I could see if I was going to be OK to get there on my own. (thankies to Etienne and the McFlurry)
Luckily the bus make it that far (but not much farther, I think)! I was somewhat nervous because the lady on the phone (when I phoned to get my appointement) seemed really confused about what it was that I wanted to get... -___-;; When I got there the hairdresser (who was a nice ~approx. 25~30 yrs old chick)knew instantly what I wanted so I was really relieved!
The first time she dyed my bangs it came out an interresting shade of faded dark lilac... And some part of my hair hand't taken the dye ^^;; The color I get is a mix of other colors so it's harder to do than a normal color. It happened a lot of time that they didn't want it to be too pale so they didn't put enough pigment in it so it doens't stay in my hair.. ^^;
Anyways, we tried again and I said I wanted it redder than it was now. This time it worked pretty well and I now have cherry pink bangs!! (see Nel Zelpher hair color) It wasn't really what I wanted (though I didn't really have a specific color in mind) but I like it! ^___^ *pets hair*
I was worried the cut would be ugly, because last time I went to get my bangs cut at another hairdresser than mine... well it was ugly. But she was really great! I like how she did it and I think it's gunna be pretty easy to take care of too! So yay! Now I know where to go when I can make the trip to my hometown to have my hair done! <3

I need to get some pictures of my hair online! I took a few whne I just had it done (because I knew it'd look horrible the next morning and that I wouldn't be able to make it look as nice XD).

Other than that... humm last week I made BEEF STEW! It was the first time I made stew EV4R!!!!1 It was great! Except it made me realize I don't like stew all that much... well actually I only eat the meet and the (sweet)potatoes.... ^^;
But still, STEW! GO ME!!!

Humm also, I bought hair extentions on an Online Shooping Spree of Doom. Also, in an attempt to do soemthing with my hair because it's getting a bit boring... and I swore to myself that I'd never wear my Metamor head bow until I could make it look as good as it looks on the Metamor model. *sighs* I need some poofyness for that, so I'm hoping the extentions will do the trick. And that the color i got will match my hair..! >0<
Fun times..!

So, uh, yeah... ^^;

omg omg the scariest thing ever in the history of livejournal just happened. I was scrolling to pick a picture, ok? (no I'm not insane/hallucinating/on drugs) and then the update journal button went up and down!!! It moved!!! I am not kidding!!!!! O___O

Ok, down to buisiness, ...*goes check the update button*.... yeah. Yesterday, I said I was going to post today about my horrible day yesterday so I'm doing this now!

So first, I got up by jumping about 2 metter high in my bed! I was in the middle of soem dream and I really wasn't expecting my alarm clock to ring >___< (I really hates when it happens)
So I got up, dressed, the usual and all that, and got to work as usual... It was soooo boring AGAIN! And I can see the 5972 huge projects line up at my doorstep and ready themselves to jump on me, with 10 URGENT red postsits on them, at the same time. *sighs*

At lunch break I ate with Chantal and Marie-Claude, the 2 coworkers I hang out most with, and went back to work... At 2 o'clock, I realized with horror I had an appointement with the eye doctor at 12h30, that I had totally missed it, and they didn't even phoned me when I didn't show up!!! Arhg! And I left them my number at work to make sure they'd phone me if I forgot! -___-;; So I waited till the coffee break at 3 and went to tell them I was sorry I missed it and get another appointment.
When I got there (Etienne came along I'm not sure I remember why XD) the guy decided to make me pass now because they had the time! So OK I waited for a few minutes while the doctor got ready and Etienne got back to work... then I realized with much horror, once again, that I had left my wallet and debit card back at work -___-; Good thing I thought about brining my cell phone. So I phoned Etienne and asked him if he could come back over (he works right beside the eye doctor place) and help me out. So he came back, but by the time he got there I had been called in for the exam! =____= So he had to go back AGAIN and come back when I was done with the exam! I felt so horrible for bothering him like that gee -___- I could almost see my blond hair coming out... ^^;;
The exam went smoothly, The doctor kept telling me to look at letters and tell me when it was clearer and when it wasn't, etc. At the end I was pretty confused and didn't know when it was my normal vision and when it wasn't. @_@
After a thourough examination the doctor said I needed reading glasses! Argh! Like the old people, except I'm still young!!!!!!! ;-; I think I looked unconvinced because he handed me a paper with text on it and told me to try to read it and I could but it was difficult. So he put lenses in front of my eyes and told me to try reading it again, and I didn't have much problems reading it -___-;; Noes! He said I have.... hypermétropie? Is that it? No, I think it was something else... I should ask Etienne... he knows about glasses stuff! ANYways!
The 'good' news are; it's not supposed to get worse, I only need to wear the glasses when I work (computer) or when I read.
Ahhh! I don't wanna have glasses ;___; I went to buy them today and I look weird/horrid/veryweird in all of them ;___; *sighs* I hope I'll like the pair I ended up picking (hurray for the 50% off rack), I'm supposed to get them next monday or tuesday.

So after all that trouble, I went back to work super late. At 5 I was meeting Etienne so we could drive to the electronic-repair-shop-in-the-middle-of-nowhere and get my repaired ps2. We had loads of troubles getting him inside my office (for a little visit) and then when we finally left it was already 5h20! (I had to be back home at 6h30 for volleyball) So we drove there talking about my to-be reading glasses and Etienne missed the exit! So we took the next one and, after a bunch of turns, went back in the right direction! @_@ By the time we got to the repair shop it was already 6h30! Worse even, they didn't take goddman debit cards so we all to go back to some lost gaz station 5 minutes from there and get cash and then go BACK to the repair shop to get my little baby. PHEEW.
I was convinced I was either going to die or turn crazy before I got home.

When we finally got to my place, I ran to get changed for volleyball and Etienne was like: *from the other end of the appartment*"Hey fé could it be that the ceiling is leaking in Sara's room too?" I swear until I saw it myself I thought it was some kind of sick joke becaue everything had just been going wrong that day. WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLE?????? THE GODDMAN CEILING IS LEAKING AGAIN?????????
I phoned the landlord about it today and he was like: well what do you want me to do(there'snothingtodoanoutitusuck)? So I told him to AT LEAST bring us some goddamn buckets so we could but it under the leak! jakfjsdlkf.... Sara said the guy came over this morning and that it was leaking like a waterfall when she left.
I just phoned my volleyball friends and left a message on the answering machine that I wasn't going to go because the ceiling was leaking again and I was in the process of turning insane.

*BIG SIGH*

I ended up making muffins for Chantal's birthday all night afterwards.

She was really happy about it! ^___^ We even put candles on them and all! (and Marie-Claude almost set the office on fire by dropping one XDD)

Well I have to go soon! Going to the movie (erm sin City? is that it?) with Etienne and Frank! >_

Really bad day...

Fri, 01 Apr 2005 04:17:34 GMT

Hi all! I did a clean up of my friends list.. (a little) (it's the first time I do it actually XD)
I really hate deleting anyone in there, even if they never talked to me and haven't posted in their journal since november 2003 >_<;;;

So if you're anyone I removed and is heartbroken because I did, please comment tell me why you haven't been keeping in contact with me/you added me without obvious reason/you wanna stay in there/etc!

Since it's so late I'll update more in details about how I had the worst day ever today tommorrrow (makes sense?)...! (even if you don't really wanna know about it, probably XD)

For now, onto the life critical dilema!
OK, I can't avoid it now, I need a blouse. I've been looking for one FOREVER and I never ended up buying one for this or that reason...
AP just realeased their first ever (as far as I know of ^^;; ) BLACK X BLACK blouse!!!!!!! AP blouses are teh pretty! It has super long cool sleeves and stretchy stuff all over... BUT it doesn't have removable sleeves. ;_; And I've always wanted a blouse with removable sleeves so I could wear it in summer when it's really hot and in winter.
ph34r teh unhtmled url because I'm a lazy ass: http://www.angelicpretty.com/catalog_2005/BL/52B-6084/52b-6084.html
Baby also has been releasing big blouse in their spring collection... I'm not really in love with any of them but I sorta like this one: http://www.babyssb.co.jp/shopping/blous/129416.html
this one http://www.babyssb.co.jp/shopping/blous/129403.html looks less frilly (I like it better I think) but it's more expensive >_< I gotta think of the errand service fees!!! teh errand service fees!!!! ;_; ps: yea I know Baby ships int. but they'Re so slow it'll be sold out before they get back to me, right Nym? -__- )

I thought I could try to find someone to send on a mission at Closet Child too (because blouses are so expensive ;-; )... but I don't really know who, so that's down for now ^^;;;;;

What do you think (whoever cares)?

***edit:
Also, I will forever regret not buying that dress when it was in stock. http://www.metamorphose.gr.jp/onlineshop_eng/dresses/104105090119.php?ssid=132e211810523052622
And I'm too shy to beg Aya to get it for me in another shop AGAIN ... ^^;

Weee 2 updates in 2 days!!

Yesterday and today, I organized my pop'n music mp3s! That was so hard! XD I thought I was going to explode! I didn't check up a lot of them at the end because I was really tired of looking at the music song of every pop'n music trying to find a band name of a katakana so I could partly identify the song..! @_@ Thank god for the engrish song titles!! It was a LOT easier with them! *sighs*
This made me realize I have like over half of Pop'n Music 8 AC's soundtrack and I didn't know! XD And I have a more pop'n 12 mp3 than I thought! I have like 20 or something! (I thought I had 5 at most ^^; ) I only found 3 songs I had in double! (I was expecting to find more!!) and I found out I had a bunch of long versions and short version of the same song (but I kept those)!

Afterwards, I started packing my stuff for an exciting week end at my parent's, hurray. And I do say at my parent's because I'm probably going to spend some of saturday at my dad's... >___< I don't wanna go, my clothes will stink ciggaretts, I'll keep sneezing from allergy to his billions of cats, and dogs, and birds, and other furry friends, and he'll try to talk to me!!!! At least my sis will be there so I can always hide behind her and hope he chats with her instead of me... argh, and the animals! My clothes will be covered in fur crap!!!! I'll be wearing older clothes and my metamor apron, but still, it makes me feel dirty and I can never get rid of the damn fur completly!!! >__<
I don't wanna go at my mom's either! ;_; My sis won't be there! It'll be soooo boring! I hope my parent's GF/BF won't feel like talking to me! They usually do and I have nothing to tell them!! Argh!
I have to tell myself this is the last holyday before next Christmas! *sighs in relief* -__-

I guess I should finish packing... I've been feeling like I'm forgetting things since I woke up this morning! I hate that feeling! I'll leave feeling like I forgot really important stuff home!! >_<

Oh, also, I went to the shopping center with Etienne this afternoon! I had chocolate to buy.. ^^; I didn't plan on giving anything to my parents but since I'm gunna be at my dad's place well I was betetr get him something... And my mom never gives anything usually but she told me she bought me one of those cheap filled chocolate rabbits (you know the one it's impossible to bite into because they're so hard..) So I got her something too... Also, I gave Sara boundage chocolate (well it ws police gadgets choco, but anyways! ^^;). She said she almost bought it when she saw it yesterday, so I was like PHEEW Glad you didn't! XD (or she'd have had a lot of chocolate handcuffs to eat XD)
THEY HAD AN EASTER FARM, OMGOMG THEY HAD SHEEP!!!!!!!!!!! Sara told me about it weeks ago and I was eagerly waiting to go see the sheep! I'm so sad I couldn't get my picture taken with one though ;___; (it was crowded with kids ;-;) AT LEAST I GOT THIS!!!!!!!! OMGOMG LIVE SHEEP! That's so awesome I WANT ONE LIKE THAT AT HOME!!!!!
After much staring at the sheep, we ate diner with Sara (who was working for the whole day) it was nice! ^_^ And we went to chat with le-gars-de-l'imaginaire (I learned his name is Jonhattan, I think? XD, today! but he'll always be le-gars-de-l'imaginaire in my heart!) while Sara pretended to look at the Vincent keychains (I WANT ONE EVEN IF THEY'RE UGLAY) as an excuse to bend over and have a better look at his ass. Then we went to return a skirt Sara bought that's too big even if it's size 1 ^^;..
Then Sara's lunch hour was over, so Etienne and I went to Dolorama (!!) to get a cookie pan because the one we bought isn't as cool as the last one we had! ;_; I couldn't find them and Etienne said we should get it at Zellers for not much more in price and a lot more in quality. So we headed there and I wanted a ROUND one!! Does it even exists without the holes for pizza anymore?? They had really neat ones that's like a big completly flat platter that you can put over the entire grill of the oven, and there's a handle at the front so you can pull it out to take the stuff on it (makes sense? ^^;;). It was really neat, but I thought Fé + borderless oven pan = many horrors visions of food falling down on the dirtily carbonized bottom of the oven, and no meal., so I didn't get it. I keept checking the different cookie pans (I wanted one with tasty cookies on the paper!) and finally got a medium sized rectangular one! I hope Sara won't miss the round ones we've always had too much! ;_; (And hopefully that one will last longer than the Dolorama ones!) While I was there I checked out the Pyrex bowls because I've wanted one forever (we used to have one but my ex roommateleft with it), I don't know why I couldn'T find them before; they were facing the cookie pans and over stuff! So I happily got a small/mediumish one. I would've liked a bigger one, but they were all in sets of 2 or 3 bowls and I only wanted one bowl! ;_; Anyways! I'm sure that one will be fine!! ^___^
And that's it! We left the shopping center, and Etienne drove me home, then left for his hometown for Easter!

As soon a I got home, Sara called in panic because it was her dad's birthday and she'd forgotten to get him something! Since she coulnd't go get him something now (she was working until closure ;_; ) I went last minute shopping to the grocery store and pharmacy accross the street, talking to Sara on my cell phone! XD We managed to find something pretty cool! I was happy! Thank you for the little 'candles and random gift stuff' sections there's in pharmacies! XD I was like OMG SARA there's a choco fondu bowl at the pharmacy!!!!!! (so far I had only found more chocolate and cheese cutting sets, which he already has), so we got him that, and some fondue chocolate (in a cute packaging) and, as a joke gift, some cheap motorcycle shaped Easter chocolate (he's nuts about motorcycles)! I was pretty happy about what we found I'm sure he'll love it! Sara was feeling horrible for forgetting XD It's OK Sara! *patpat*

Last wednesday, I had an english evaluation test for the english lessons I'm trying to get through my job. It went fairly well I think!
First I met a lady, and she asked me what hour I wanted my class to be. I told her to evaluate me before she marked it down because I wasn't sure there was classes with advanced enough levels for me, so I might have to take private lessons. The lady was all 'Naaah! We have more advanced students than begginers!! No problem!! We have really advanced levels! No problems at all!!! ^___^'. So I was like OK! Then I told her I could only get Saturday classes because I can only leave for lessons once a week with work. >_<
After that she told me she'd ask me a few questions in English and I had to anwser to my best knowledge/ability, if I understood her... ^^;;; So we talked a bit about what I wanted from English lessons and how I learned my English. OMG I my spoken English was SO HORRIBLE!!! I was ashamed! I wanted to curl up and hide under her desk!! ^^;;; My spoken English is sooooooooooo rusty!!! I need to speak it more ASAP! >__< I kept stuttering, I was nervous too so it probably didn't hlep! >___< Ahh I still feel so ashamed just thinking about it!!! OMG! >_< *hides*
Anyways, she kept asking questions about how I learned my English and didn't seem to understand how I could be at this level by learning only with playing video games and chatting online(it's mostly how I learned my English). I think she asked me if 'I was S-U-R-E I didn't have a friend/anyone I spoke with in English for a prolonged period in the past' 3 times! @_@ (all that with my English being horrible!). So after the interview she was like; umm... how about private lessons?? So I had to take private lessons. There was a written test (with an audio tape) too, but she wasn't sure if I should pass it or not because it's not really my level. In the end she had me do it because I was there anyways so I might as well do it.
*****-IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO ANY NATIVE ENGLISH PERSON READING THIS-******
Is there any freaking difference in how you say "Look at the waterfall." and "Look at the water fall."????????????? I was like WTF??????? O__O
*****--******
The test had realivly easy questions such as *audio extract*: Did they bound?. Written choices: a) Did they bound? b) Did they bomb? c) Neither d) Both a and b., and so on for 20 questions. Some were a bit trickier (like the example in the notice above ^^;) And sometime they changed concept of the question in the middle of a series, so I was confused. Like for example, the instruction said: find the match to the audio in the written choices, and at some point I had to pick the question that gave the audio answer in the same block. It was like 10 questions that were like 'Did they bound' and suddenly the questions were:
*audio* George went to the party.
a) Where did George go?
b) When did George go?
c) Wasn't George at the party?
It' not finding the match anymore, well not really, it's finding the question that provoked the answer! So I was like @_@ Nothing matches! it's all questions! And then I'd be like OH! I get it!! *hurries to answer before the tape changes questions*.
It happened a couple of times in the test so I was pretty confused at some point ^^;;;
But I don't think I got that many answers wrong. (I hope not! ^^; )

Well now all that's left it for me to finish filling in the form and hope my demand is accepted!!!! >__< nnn! *crosses fingers* I should make a 'Help Fé improve her spoken English, it's earbreaking' fund! OMG just thinking of it makes me all excited! I think I like learning english too much for my own good... I WANNA MOVE TO AN ENGLISH SPEAKING PLACE SO I CAN SPEAK IT EVERDAY!!!! That would be awesome! I'd be teh queen of second language English after that!! English!!!!! WEE!!!! >0<
So you gotta cross you fingers for me too!!!! ^__^ I'm going to place my demand next thursday.. I wonder how long it takes to be processed and accepted or refused... I wonder how much they can pay of it, 600 or 800? I hope the secretaries didn't mess up (they seemed pretty confused about what the exact amount was) and that it's less than 600 because I don't think I could afford it! ;_; Ahh stress stress!!!!! I want English!!!!

Update on my ceiling. There's still a nice hole and an enormous bucket under it in my room. At least it's not leaking anymore. I asked the janitor when he thought he could fix it, and he said there was like 15cm/~4 inches of ice on top of the roof so they had to WAIT until it melts before they repair anything. Meaning: NO REPAIRED CEILING BEFORE EARLY SUMMER OMFG.
Oh, oh, who is moving next year? I think that's me!!!!!

Wow, looks like this short entry about how I'm not gunna be online for 2 days because I'll be at my parent's turned out to be UBERSUPERFREAKINGLY LONG! O_O How did this happen?? Must be all the ranting againt! Kurse you ranting monster that lies in me!! KURSE YOU! *shakes fist*

Last but not least; Spreading the Pop'n Love!

ps: I hope you don't mind my using Kei's space for this Nym ^^;;;;;; (tell me if you mind, OK?)
