My parents gave me a weird name (Alexia--and I bet 90% of people who know me don't know my full name) and it really gets annoying when almost everyone fucks it up. I don't think it's even that hard to pronounce but apparently I'm wrong or people are fucking retarded. Even if my parents had gone for the more traditional Alexis or Alexandra it would have made life a bit less annoying. I go by Lex and I still get hassled over that. I often hear "that's a boy's name" or other asinine comments. There's a lady at work who calls me Alexie which is a Russian dude's name. Seriously, go for a normal name. My recommendation: Jack-It's totally versatile.

So at this exact second I'm dicking around at a job I hate and wondering how I can make an exit. I just got a call from the library I really want to work at and I'm hired. (Woo Hoo!) But I am supposed to work at the forementioned crappy job until nine tonight. I sooooooo don't want to be here. Please help me make an exit. Oh yes...the other people I'm scheduled with for the rest of the night I actually like.....not so much can be said for the rest of the staff.....Maybe I should just man up for the remaining two hours and nine minutes. I dunno.....thoughts?

Here Princess! Come here you little shit! .....mmmmmm fava beans and chianti!

If your iphone is "locked" (meaning it only knows how to read sim cards from the carrier that originally sold the phone) it will not read your Rogers SIM. For example, it you have a Nextel iphone it might not read a Rogers SIM.

sweet< i've been looking for a good new cookbook that inculdes some meat and a new gardening book.

YATS for parpt President

Did they let you vote?

Oh yeah....regarding the conservative stereotype...I work in retail (aka i'm broke as fuck!) and I'm an atheist.

I think I love you. Wanna high five in public? ....actually, I'll do anything in public!

Out of curiosity, how many people here have read all of the platforms?

I think the people who feel they are entitled to part of what I earn are also shitting on Vonnegut's and Marley's philosophies. You have an obligation to contribute to the world, not leach off it. You have an obligation to be a good person and not rip other people off or take food out of their mouths. In short, everyone has a right to live and an obligation to contribute. The first pillar of love (as in One Love) is respect. How can you respect yourself or anyone else if all you want to do is leach off of others. I think I have a better understanding of individualism and responsibility than a lot of people.

Yes, artist's work increases in value after they're dead. This is a known fact. If you want lots of money while you're alive then pick another career.

Oh, and as for the attack ads... I don't have a TV, (I can't afford one nor the service for it, but my neighbours on welfare have cable) I've never seen them.

way to misinterpret what I wrote! Yes, people have the right to live, yes we should have a safety net for EMERGENCY USE ONLY. No, people should not be guarunteed the basics in life without trying. If you are able to work go work get off your ass and do it. I don't care if you're a poet or a painter or whatever. If you're good at being an artist then people will pay for your work, just like any other occupation. If people do not value your work then you need to find other work to support yourself.

You bet yer ass i did. I'm ignoring the sarcasm.

I love Ringo! Thomas the Tank Engine Rules

which birdy and why? and who is this? damned name-changers confuse the fuck out of me!

The conservative party supports representation by population. They also want to abolish or at least reform the senate. These are both good ideas. I think a lot of people dismiss this party simply because of the name. This year I was determined to make an informed decision on my vote. Instead of just listening to the banter and mudslinging I decided to download and read the platforms of all parties. I almost hurled on my shoes when I read the Green platform and that made me sad. You're probably wondering what induced my retching. It was the idea of a guarunteed basic income that is unsupervised. The way I interpreted this is that people can be sure of receiving a subsistence level income which covers their rent and food but not actually have to report to any agency or try to get off the dole! Fully able bodied adults can choose to not participate in the workforce and instead leach off the taxpayers for life and not have to worry about a thing. I'm sorry, but i don't get my ass out of bed every day and go to a job that makes me want to kick most people in the genitals so that my welfare neighbour can sit on her ass all day. oh wait, actually I do do that now....and she has the "big half" of the house I rented. okay, /rant. Green platform made me want to cry, that is all.

I hate him, too.

I didn't know this was a movie! It's a book too and holy shit it made me ball like such a little girl. Absolutely heart wrenching...could easily create many a pacifist.

The Boston Aquarium is really neat if you like that sort of thing. So was whale watching. Take a day trip to Salem, it's neat!! I loved Boston. I remember sitting at an intersecton in Boston and seeing fourteen Saabs! I love the old style Saabs, super cool cars.

If it was a place it would be capitalized, but I can understand the confusion. I think that bacon is a state of mind, and since what you perceive is what exists for you, I guess Bacon is my happy place.

Maybe. You must want to elope to somewhere cool, like bacon and never, ever tell me to wear makeup. Well endowed nymphomaniacs preffered.

You know, I was thinking about my above post regarding mailing out copies of that craigslist ad as RSVP's. I think it is easy to misconstrue what I meant as I wasn't very clear and didn't elaborate. It's not that I'm not happy for people who are getting married and having babies, quite the opposite in fact. It's just that I don't want to go to some event that is really boring, expensive and I don't know anyone. i'd rather just hang out with the people in question when we've all got some time and celebrate in a more casual, relaxed atmosphere. I don't like getting dressed up, I don't like stuffy atmosphere, I don't like pretending to be nice to people that I don't like and I don't like pretending to have a good time while gritting my teeth. I'd rather celebrate in a non-formal and personal manner. No formal gatherings and no formal clothes for me! If I ever get married I'm going to elope and come back, make the announcement and have a barbcue in my yard or something.....and have Wassabi play it!

Not all cops suck, just the power-tripping or incompetent ones.
