i am most grateful to my dear Maryam, whose post about Cassie Claire going to the NY premier of Harry Potter made me laugh. oh Cassie Cassie... such an awesome writer. the part about Emma Watson having lots of hair, is tiny, and smirked all the way down the red carpet and Rupert Grint covered in hair, sees nothing and staggers down the red carpet blindly! oh, hilarious!

and to quote my cousin, David: if life gives you pictures, steal them.

so i did.


blond hair? mmm.... i duuuunnnoooo


YIAY RUPERT!!!! he looks like Mark with straight hair. he actually has NICE hair! look how it shines!


Oh Tom... you're so full of yourself, even tho u are pretty cute... but not as cute as Rupert!

ah man.. you know what would be awesome? if i could see that guy from ACI who looks like Ron again.. that would be awesome.

yea, so now, i'm just waiting for my LOO back porch to be stained, and then i'm moving in. well, i'm going to try my bestest to. can't stand another minute of this. i'm still gonna do it if no one supports me.
last night out was fun.......kinda. well, the ending was fun. went over to carmen's to chill cuz no where else to go. looked at some pics.... um...yes... not a good idea. it doesn't go away, whereever i go, and however hard i try to get rid of it. anyways.. i managed to get through the whole album, then we managed to get ahold of carmen's friend gil, in markham. oh yea i also called fran but she didn't wanna chill. so the good thing was, i actually did get out of fuckin scarbro. stopped by some convenience stores, met gil, picked up thomas, and bumped into ryan gong. i came home and it was hell.

anyways, 11 more days with the parentals. can i survive til then? we'll see.

anywhoo, so yesterday at work, mark came by to pick up his paycheque. it was great seeing him, it wasn't expected. but it kinda felt like deja vu... anyway, he looked really happy. i've never seen him smile so much before. it was great. we chatted a bit, and he told me he worked at Boston Pizza, near morningside, so next time i go there, i can drop by. and this guy i served came for water (twice) and asked if i was alone, cuz i was the only one working out front at the time. i wasn't alone, and then he complimented me and left. hahaha hilarious. he was sweet. :)

just came back from the movie. funny thing... throughout the movie, the guy sitting behind me kept kicking my chair. it was fuckin annoying, let me tell you. after the movie, i stood up, stretched, and just out of reflex, looked back, cuz that's what i do, look around the theater. i turned back, and realized the person behind me was familiar.... what?! i turned back, and it was OWEN!!! um... yes. it was weird. he was sitting right behind me. anyways... so yea. then we left.

about the movie (SOME spoilers, not about the plot tho), it was kinda weird... kept going back and forth and so on. and it's really confusing. near the end, it was pretty surprising... all this mind erasing stuff. but yeah... at the end, it all gets sorted out, and all the confusion turns into understanding. pretty cooooool.

umm... anyways... waterloo was fun today. and so was the movie.
okay, i'm outtie.

***

ok. fuck! stop fuckin talking about him!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!! _____ this and _____ that... i'm fuckin tired of this.

ahhh hahaha!! i am so unusually happy right now!! it's such a frickin great day!! went to the Loo this morning to check out my house-- it's so clean!!!! omg, i'm excited about living there now! and i MIGHT stay there for the next couple years, seeing how things go... i mean, i know it started off rocky and all, buuuut... truth be told, i dun wanna move around. ah, we'll see. i kiiiinda wanna go to Jeff's BBQ, buuut... meh. feeling lazy.. hee hee. i was driving back to Toronto from Loo, and i almost fell asleep at the wheel... so tiiired. bah! and Eric and Sarah are going to the Blink 182 concert! grr.. so jealous! hehehe! posh.. Carmen's going to Grand Valley tonite with her Guelph friends, aaaaand... i'm gonna go see a movie with the parentals. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.. gotta love it. erm... oh, what else is new? i started painting last night, it felt great! i didn't wanna stop, but it was pretty late when i started, so.. yeah. Sarah and i had this convo about dreams and zombies and vampires... and last night i dreamt of this weird motel with lots of people in it and weird elevators.. hard to describe. it was weird... and Mark (from work) was there. that's even weirder. yea... ah well. and then i woke up and i was confused. anywhoo... that's 'bout it... i kinda misplaced my paycheque, so i gots to go find it now... ta ta.

i have:

- A CLEAN HOUSE!!!
- A PAYCHEQUE!!!

well, one more week til THE BEST DAY OF SUMMER!!! HP movie, then par-tay!! i can't wait! Carmen and i went to get fabrics two days ago... the uber nice velvety ones were way too expensive, so i'll get them when i have more moola. in the meantime, we got simple black glittery fabric and glittery felt in which we will cut stars out of them and paste, or sew onto our cape! i need to start making it soon, and i need a wand as well. anywhoo... Sarah showed me how to make it, but i kinda forgot what her diagram looked like. crap! oh well... yes, yes... so i guess i'll be going as Cho Chang. yay! and Cedric Diggory will be my boyfriend. *drool* mmm...Cedric. hee hee! oh.. now i want a broom too! bah!! anywhoo... i'm outtie.. gotta start reading

HOLEEE SHIT!!! i just recieved a WEIRD phone call from none other than my foreign boi. WTF?! judge for yourself:

*ring* (i look at the call display and see his name on caller ID... thinking wtf?!)

Me: Hello...?
Him: Hello

(shuffling sounds, and something in Dutch)

Me: Hello...??
Him: Hello
Me: Hey, where are you calling from?

(more shuffling, more stuff said in Dutch, a girl talking in the background, and after a while....)

*click*

and he hung up...

weird, huh? well, i immediately called carmen and told her about it, and she advised me to call back. and the shuffling was probably him getting better reception. i dunno.. i tried calling back on the home phone, but the operator said the number was not in service, so...i dunno?? i'm hoping he'll call again tho.. ah, we'll see.

in other news... emilia's over right now, doing some work on the computer. i might go to fabricland later with carmen to get fabrics for our capes, and i might head over to ACI to watch the lacross game. we'll see how it all goes. in the meantime.. i'll do another quiz for stupid psych.

mmm.... you know what? this evening turned out pretty well. i didn't see him and i had a good time. Smitty came along while we were at DQ. i haven't seen that boi since New Year's! well, yeah, we had a good time... me, carm, emilia, mike, andrew abela and smitty. bought some fireworks, lit them and watched from kinda afar. carmen's were the best. so pretty! and they fart! it was hilarious. adam's "fish" wasn't much of a fish, and it lasted all of three seconds. pah. my Green Magnolia was pretty! it was purple! but we all agreed that carmen's was still the best. and swinging on the swings, somewhat, partially woozy on a nice breezy night is awesome. it was peaceful in a way... really nice.

oh! and andrew's gonna be my Waterloo buddy! omg, YIAY!!! we are SO going drinking next year!! YAY!! and strip clubs!! i can't wait! eeeee!! yiay!!!

i'm fuckin tired, and my head hurts, and i still have to wake up in time for D's C tomorrow. heh heh heh...

what a horrible fuckin day. maybe it's just me. no, it's just my family being their usually asshole-ish-ness. god... on top of that, it's fuckin Victoria Day. happy Victoria day, everyone.
thanks for ruining Victoria day for me... not to mention fireworks. fucker.

just fuckin shoot me.

some stuff that's been going on:

- three night shifts in a row and i didn't have to do dishes at all!
- Rowin has a baby?! awwww so cute!
- Ebonnie's daughter Rachel, was around today... so cute! she's eight. we now have each other's msn. haha!
- shit shit i dropped the balsamic vinegar! good going mandy
- ow! fuck! i sliced my pinkie! owww... mmm blood.
- great going Mark, way to get yourself FIRED!! *grumble* ruin all my plans... *grumble* .. hope i see you again sometime.... whenever...
- watched Troy last night with Emilia... oooh! it's Orlando!! oh baby...


umm... i have nothing else to say

i have stuff on on my mind.... shitty people, shitty times

i drove around with Emilia and i bought some Kahlua, and i hid it in my purse. great timing, for May24 is coming up! and i really wanna do something for May24 because i have some booze and i would like to consume it. can we have a bonfire and roast marshmellows and drink? i would like that very much.

but now i'm fuckin tired like a bitch so i think i am going to hit the sack. bub bye!

you know how when you listen to an old song and it reminds you (vividly or not) of a particular event? oh man.. i just finished downloading Smash, by The Offspring, and i had that song in my laptop for a while during the school year, and just right NOW, it totally reminds me of that party at Beth's. it was a great night, but in so many ways so wrong. ahhh... it sucks! i should stop listening to it, but it's such a great song. oh well...

anyway, today was weird. i was supposed to work closing, but this morning at 11:35, Ebonnie called me and asked if i was free tihs afternoon, so i said yes, and she asked if i could actually come in right now. so.. yeah.. i work at noon. hey, i'm not complaining at all! i'd rather work in the afternoon than closing. but today was super busy! and after work, i bumped into lotsa people! i was talking to Carmen near the ttc place on the phone, and i saw Erin! she was just walking around, so.. yeah, it was cool, then i after that i saw down to eat some food Ebonnie gave me from Cultures. i was eating and out of nowhere this guy was walking towards me, and it was this guy i haven't seen since ELEMENTARY school! oh maann it was so unexpected! but really great! seriously, i haven't seen him in like, 7 years! he used to be my personal psychic. hahah! what's funny is that he actually got one right...lol. but that's for me to know and you to... not know. lol anyways! so then i went to TD bank, and when i came out i saw James and Mark! James McEleny and Mark... the one man freak show dude... lol i forgot his last name. lol! anywhoo, yea, it was great! then i went to Woodside to meet my mum and... blahblahblah.. the rest isn't important. lol!

oh! i just realzied, i've been outta school for a month now. hahaha! three more to go!

today was a beautiful day. it still is beautiful outside. by the request of dear Eric, i went over to ACI to watch the lacross game. hahaha i have to support my friends, ya know? hahaha but it was pretty good. marg was there so we hung out together, watched the lacross boys play. they won both games, good job! after lacross, went over to North A. and hung out with Carmen and Tim for a bit.. it was fun becuz i haven't really chilled with Tim for a very very long time, just talking. we were childhood buddies, so...yeah, it was really nice. sat on those tires for a bit, then the swings... ah... brought back childhood mems.. but maybe more for Carmen cuz she actually went to North A. but yea... Tim and i chatted about C.D.F for a bit too... and that haunted house. haha! it was fun.

anyway, so my aunt and her husband's been here for three days now, and last night's dinner was pretty fun! almost none of my cousins came, although Hana came! YIAY! i love her, she's so sweet. and my cousin's kids... haha so adorable, esp Jojo..awww! so yeah, it was pretty cool. the only bad thing was that my uncle from Boston came too, and me, my brother, and two of my cousins hate him, so that was pretty bad. when i first met him at my house yesterday, he acted so happy to see me and grabbed my arm. it hurt. he was all like "hey! how are you? how was university?" then at dinner, he proceeded to sit beside me. he was like "is it okay to sit here?" said "yea, it's ok." then he said, "just okay?" and i didn't reply... bastard... oh well.

and...yea, i didn't have to work today. i was supposed to, but Ebonnie called me and said not to come, sooo i'm free! yiay? i wanna go out and chill, cuz it's so nice out, but everyone's either busy or has plans. boo. i was at the Brimley and Sheppard bus stop, and picked up a Renter's News magazine.. remember how i wanted to rent my parents' condo? well, i doubt i will be able to.. it's expensive! i saw some nice places, also downtown, for a lot cheaper, so...yeah! i saw a nice loft apartment, starting from 800$. i want a loft apartment. well, we'll see. it'll be a couple years before i live in toronto again. last summer! that's what i've been telling myself a lot. ahhhh... hehe...

anywhoo.. that's enough for today...

ok so i was at work today and i was standing around near the backroom cuz no one was coming in, and then i see Mr Lummy! and his gf! awww... so i went over and served them. it was cool seeing him there. i forgot it was sunday and wondered why he wasn't at school. then i remembered it was sunday. haha! i introduced myself to Lummy's gf, but she didn't introduce herself back, and neither did Lummy. ah well.

i did sooo much cleaning today! (in my house) bah! my aunt and her new husband is coming tomorrow night.. bah! they're gonna take over our basement. boo.. no more basement for me. oh well.

i finally went over to Plantations/Cafe Mirage to apply. the manager wasn't in. oh well. then i called Kevin and him and Jordan were fixing his pool, but after that, we hung out.. and went to stc, us three and Misha. ha! in the little time we were there Jordan got three super nice, but super expensive shirts. pah! i wanna be rich....
omg.. i take that back! i really don't... cuz, u know... yeeaaa.
anyways, oh yea, last night was so fun! we watched Mean Girls.. haha such a chick flick, and Jon was with us! awww...

anywhhoo... um... yeah, that's about it. i wanna par-tay!!! arrrgghh...

today, i am going to be a "see lai" and play mah-jong at jon's. yiay! i love being fobby.

haha actually, that's a lie.. i really don't. but i'm going to have fuuun!

tgif!
umm... that's all i really have to say.

**

OH MY GAWD! OH MY GAWD! hot foreign boi text msged me! ahhhhh!!!!! tee hee hee hee hee! my weekend is turning out better than i thought! heh heh

this fuckin sucks.
i wanna be out on this bee-ootiful night! bahh... instead i'm stuck here. boo. well, i actually just got home. but stiiiill... wasn't long enough. oh man... can't wait til the 22nd of june. THAT'S when the REAL fun is gonna begin. heh heh heh... speaking of which... does anyone wanna come to brampton with me on june 17th?? we can par-tay? or the night of june 17th? par-tay in scarb on june 17? c'mon people!! pleeeease?

bah.

i'm hope you all have an AWESOME WEEKEND. *taps nose* for those of you who have those plans... i'm jealous.

so it's been an interesting couple of days... crap, i don't even remember what i did, except for yesterday. went to emilia's birthday dinner. then nique and i went to the ACI spring concert and met up with carmen there... and also a whole bunch of other music ppl: saira, eugene, shelby, ming, julie, alicia, james (!), jon, joanna! and yutat. Nique was just saying that we don't realize how boring our concerts were until we actually sit in one. yea...it was hot and sticky and some of the pieces were indeed quite boring. surprisingly, the orchestra was good! especially the one mr. ward conducted in, because y'all know how much i dislike his conducting. *ahem* anywhooo... oh! and their grad song honestly can't compare to our's! our's was just too awesome. their's was.... weird. but E for effort. anywhoo, we all stayed and chatted til... like 10:45ish. crazy! but sooo good. then carmen, nique, andrew and i drove over to mike's house to chill. and chill we did. then my mum called, aaaand...yeaaah... couldn't stay any longer. boooooerns. so then i drove carmen everyone home (cept for andrew cuz he lives too far) and then i went home.

went back to aci today. hahaha hilarious turn of events, because i woke up not too long and mike called, complaining how he wasn't going to classes and he's just "sitting around" so would i come over to chill with him? i sacrificed my morning dose of Dawson's Creek (thanks to my roomies for getting me hooked) and bussed over to ACI. i told my mum i was going to the libberary. heh... anywhoo... so yea. chilled with him and a bunch of other people.. malargret! the three of us went to kfc, mike yelled at the lady who doesn't understand him (do u want a garlic wrap instead? hahaha!!!) and we stayed there talking for like an hour and a half. crazy! then we headed back to school, waited for matty to finish class, then waited for him some more to get his bag, then we left. yiaaayyyy...

my mum picked me up from the libberary, and we went to FOB central (aka pmall, aka pacific) and i bought dvds!! they're all by the same cartoonist/author. i looooove his movies. *heart!* yiayyy... can't wait to start watching them. oh and speaking of movies... boo to carmen who couldn't make it to our movie night. boooo. maybe tomorrow.. or someday...

things i am grateful for:
- bumping into May today on the bus. she reminded me that the ACI spring concert is tomorrow. i TOTALLY forgot!
- my precious 30 minutes break
- bumping into Ben on my break. i haven't talked to him in a while. he was also on his break, from West 49
- hand lotion, for when i have to sweep, wash a huge fuckin load of dishes and mop, one right after another

i'll finish later

so i haven't had access to my internet for like a day and a half, and i come back and what do i find? a Cho Chang! it's quite disappointing, really... Katie Leung... has anyone heard of her? i haven't. oh, here's a pic:
so... yeah... i'm a bit disappointed because she doesn't look like the Cho Chang i imagined... bah well...

work's going okay... worked with Mark (Marc?) again.. yiay for closings. actually, it kinda sucks because there's so much work to do when you do closing. and Mark scares me a little, because he doesn't smile much... and doesn't talk much either. and Emilia visited me today! YAY! and we went out for drinks last night. it was pretty fun. lots of talking to be done.

one last thing, what is up with the new Blogger website design? it's okay... but confusing! BAH!

hallooo..
today was eventful, to say the least. yeah... our house thing... we had our moments. fran: your dad is frickin' hilarious! gotta love the way he yelled at her. tell me when he's going back, so i can go too. so yeah, we told her that we wanted everything fixed and shit.. went through the entire house. elena, seriously, is a bitch. fran's parents wanted to see the basement, and my dad was gonna go too, and elena ACTUALLY said to him "you don't need to go down." wow... what a fuckin bitch. my dad went down anyway. haha! everyone went. checked it out. i was amazed at how little she knew about her own house.

"What's this wire running here?"

"That? uh... i'm not sure..."

"Is there a fire extinguisher in the basement?"

"... hmm... i'm not sure..."

"What's the electrical system charge?" (that, might be wrong, but whatever)

"huh? i don't know."

wow... hilarious. so anyway, at one point, she left the house to go make keys for all of us, and when she came back, she brought her husband with her. we were all like "who the fuck is that? oh, must be her husband." ha she can't handle us... wanted her husband to back her up. *shakes head in disgust* honestly... well, anyway, at the end of our meeting, i gave her the letter we all signed. i hope she takes a good look at it, cuz we're not fuckin kidding. fran's dad is gonna come back on the 22nd and check it out. yiay.. i wanna go too. tsk tsk... other wise, i'll be sue-ing her ass. but yea... there were some funny moments... i'm pretty sure we weren't supposed to be laughing, but she just knew so little about her own house, and the way my parents and fran's parents were in her face the entire time was pretty hilarious. and all the papers she gave us contradicts one another. *shakes head in disgust again*

in other news... after the meeting, we went over to UW and picked up bernard and headed over to one of the orchestra people's family house for din-din. it was pretty cool. bernard did annoy me the entire night by whistling the song from Kill Bill. it was annoying, mian. but we played some good pool, so that's alright.

aaaanywhhooo... yeah. i'm tired. gotta do some reading, then sleep. yay work tomorrow... later gators.

a ha ha. mandy's officially staying in puh-sych. yup... just got my grade. a big fat F. *takes a bow*... now i'm not going to Hong Kong. guess i got what i wanted, huh? i just talked with my cousin, the one who's getting married in hong kong, which i was supposed to attend. yea,... i feel kinda bad. but in all honesty.. i only want to go to attend her wedding, and that's about it. so.. i'm not going anymore because the plane ticket is like, close to 2000$. yeah... anywhoo. go me.

i'm outta here.

oh, haha my plans actually were still intact.... good old pretending-to-be-studious. :)

anywhoo... kitty scratched me. boo hoo. it was unexpected too. bah. oh.. hahaha mike said d'oh!! hahah hilarious. i got a lesson. i learnededed.

work was pretty good. i still really don't like how ebonnie and the A&W girl smokes in the back room. and today, joanna, this other girl who works at cultures and A&W was there too. she's a nice girl, but.... ya know.

shannon's mum wrote our letter! it's awesome. it outlined everything, if not, more. oh man... i am pretty anxious about tomorrow. i wanna see the look on her face... classic... so tracy's coming too. hmmmmmm... it'll be interesting.... As stated in the Tenant Protection Act, 1997, Ontario Regulation 198/8, Maintenance Standards, 2 (2), "...the landlord shall ensure that the maintenance standards in this Regulation are complied with." so... yes... hehehe THANKS SHAN!! *heart!*

my hand stings. ow.

whoooosh! goes all my plans. goddd... i can't stand living here anymore. seriously.... argh. great way to start my day, mother. call me and yell at me again. god fuckin dammit. ahhhhhhh...
ok can't take this anymore. i'm off to worky.

work was alright today...i met another emplyee... Rowin. he's alright.. i did an hour o/t today... haha better than that other day.. 3 hours. ha. ebonnie called me like 10 minutes after i left asking if i could actually stay til closing. i said no. hahaha oh well. i was tired! anyways, today was cool, cuz ebonnie gave me two bucks out of nowhere. heh heh.. she was like "hey mandy.... tips" ha wickednessessism.

anywhoo.... so i was bored this evening and i had a craving to go out. so then i found out that the multicultural show was tonight, so emilia and i went to it. we were super late and missed all of our friend's shows, but the good thing was, we also missed all the tamil dances. ha!! oh man...seriously, the entire ACI brown population was there. hilarious. then they all started acting cool and all. hahaha!! oh mannnn.... and then we just hung around after the show and talked with people. it was alright. haha matt (hoskins) was so adorable. i was about to leave, and he was like "you're leaving already?? awwww..." hahaha so cute... heheh then mark asked me to give him a ride home, so i said sure, since he's such a sexy biiatch. then i was waiting around for him and emilia and i kept bitching around the auditorium. it was hilarious. then matty came out from a secret storage room and demanded (nah, i lied, not demanded, just... asked, and followed me to the car) that i drive him home. i couldn't deny such a tired and lonely child, so i agreed. dropped mark off first cuz he was closer, then we actually went to wal-mart.. hung out til closing.. then dropped matty off, then dropped emilia off, and now i'm home. whew! i had a real craving to get drunk tho.. seriously... ok, one more week... then i can take advantage of emilia. hahaha!! oooookay. anyways. yeah

oh, yea, i'm talking to matty on icq.... when was the last time that happened? ha... can't even remember. ah well...

anyways... i'm done. bub bye

i had a reminiscing moment.
haven't felt this shitty in sooo long, wow...
can't forget what carm told me yesterday... been thinking about it so much. can't even have a moment with a friend without everyone else interfering.
and the thing with the house is going so wrong.
and my fuckin psych grade still isn't out. wtf. and i have to meet annie on friday. i don't know what she's like, but if ebonnie had to take me aside and warn me about her, she must be really bad. fuck.

"Mandy's a fuckin dumbass... the stupidest person in the world..."
dear brother. go to hell.

OH. MY. FUCK.

i can't take this shit anymore. stop yelling at meee!! what the fuck did i do?! if this is the way it's gonna be all year, i'm moving out. argh! i'd rather be out than lose 4 friends. why can't everyone just be a little bit more sensitive and caring, instad of blowing up at one another?! holy fuck!

and honestly. i want to STOP talking about that fuckin house til saturday. i can't take it anymore.

8 hours at Cultures today.. it was great! no, really.. it wasn't that bad. i met the manager, Ebonnie. she kinda looks like me. haha just an older version. honestly, the three times i've worked there, two of the times (the first time doesn't count because i only worked an hour before closing so there was no one) i was mistaken to be her. cuz she has a long ponytail too, and with my boots, we're about the same height. tee hee! anyways, so yea, she's really nice and all that, kept asking if i had to eat lunch or just go take some food from whereever. she kept telling me to get food so that if any customers ask if they're good or not, id be able to tell them. heh... anywhoo... yea... hilarious.. i had two smoothies today, cuz i made one ofr myself first, then tihs other girl who worked with me made one, but no one claimed it, so she's like "just drink it" so i did. haha! the only downside was working by myself while Ebonnie and the manager from A&W smoked in the back room/kitchen. not even outside. pah... tsk tsk. oh well. and yea... i did 3 hours o/t. haha whatever. more money for me!

anywhoooo... yeah. i'm tired. my legs are tired. but i'm not hungry, that's for sure.

went to aci today... pretty interesting... saw tasha and erin! and saira!! and sarah!! yiaayyy!! oh man.. sarah and i still have to go to the adult video store together. hahaha dress up like catholic school girls hahhaha! hilarrrrious. then went to country style with mike, marg, and frances. good times! when frances, mike and i walked toward the mall (and his house) we were just talking about hypocrites and stuff... damn... mike started telling us the story of him and michelle and our hypocritic friends. so i'm sorry we made u all upset, mikey!! *HUG* got pics... me and frances talked about bois... went back to aci... got caught by mr. zarudny (frances skipped his class) and.... then we left. i went home, uploaded all the pics, sent them to everyone, and then went to stc with carmen, where we then plunged into another discussion about drugs, bois, and hypocrites. it was so depressing. i went back to history twice today. it fuckin sucked. i'm such a fuckin hypocrite.

i've been dealing with the shitty problem of my "shack" in waterloo all night. ian and tracy... so irresponsible... i don't even want to live there anymore. it fuckin sucks that we are all fighting and shit about it, and we haven't even moved in together yet. next year will be good times, i'm sure. i actually wanna live in that other nice house on Hazel St. so much better. c'mon Fran, live with me! well, if we get out of the lease, that is. i'm pretty sure we can. we have enough back up information. omg.. so hilarious... went back to look at the contract, and already found that elena broke two of her own rules. hilarious! i sat there and laughed for a good two minutes. hahhahaha!! anyways, we'll just have to see what happens on saturday. oh man.. i can't wait! it'll be awesome, she'll be so surprised! hahaha! she'll probably be like "wtf is everyone doing here?!" and then my parents and fran's parents are gonna go yell in her face. and shannon will yell in her face too, but me and fran are cool, we'll just sit back and watch the drama. hahahaha!!!

alright, i gotta stop. i'm cracking myself up.

for anyone who are curious and wants to see the pics of my shitty house, here they are.

interesting day in the loo....

so as you all may know, Fran and i went to our house today to take pics. i took a LOT. hilarious.. i finished a full roll in.... what, 15 minutes? hahaha hilarious. i ran out of film so fast, we had to go to Forwell's to buy another roll. hahaha! oh and we also met up with Liz and Amy!! yiay! anyways.... when we were ready to go back on the greyhound, i recieved a phone call from elena. basically, she asked me if i moved in yet, and i said no. she said she'd move all the furniture out, and i said yes, move it all out, we don't want any of it. i also told her that i want us all to meet sometime soon. (i didn't tell her about the parents thing though) so she asked about what? and i said, just something concerning the house, and she said "the condition about the house? what kinds of things?" so i told her "the furniture, the wirings, electrical outlets..." i didn't tell her in detail, cuz i didn't want to argue with her on the phone, so i just told her a couple of things. oh, before i told her that, she also told me that she's going to the house and changing the basement locks, so i was pretty surprised and i asked "so u mean you haven't changed the basement locks?!" and she said no. then i said "but the bedrooms downstaires have keys in their keyholes already!" and she said she knows. so i'm just standing there shocked! ok, the basement is still unlocked... keys are right there in the open. she said she wants to change the locks on a weekday, cuz on weekends, they charge double (cheap cheap).

anyways, so then i told her how i wanted us to meet face to face and talk about stuff, and she said okay, just call her to make up a time. so we have to decide that soon! tracy wants to do it this saturday, is that okay with everyone?? oh, she also made a very mean comment about fran. when i told her i wanted us to meet, she said she would move all the furniture, but she didn't want us to make so many demands and conditions. she said (and i'm just repeating what she told me) that she doesn't want us to end up like francine's situation and make so many conditions for her because she is the landlord (and at that point i was so close to saying "well, we have tenants' rights!" but i didn't want to argue on the phone) and she doesn't want to start off bad. (even though it already has).

oh, and she also told me she's changed her mind about room colours and she doesn't want anyone painting dark colours. (way to go back on your word...) so no red for me, and no black for me and Ian. booo.

fran and i got back somewhat late. i took the pics to develope already, but i won't be able to get them back til tomorrow morning. it's on a cd, so no scanning! (except for one of the rolls, that was half the house, and half something else.

anyway, that's about it...

the rest of the day went pretty well. it was actually pretty fun! especially meeting up with Leez and Amy. hehehe! oh and MacDonell Village sucks... no offense. it's too damn expenseive. pizza was delish, as was all the junk food. hahaha! anywhhooo... that's that's 'bout it. can't wait to get back pics tomorrow... hahha and i can't wait to hear what Ian's dad has to say on this.... two lawyers and a judge. we're backed up pretty damn well. =D

i am fuckin PISSED. okay, instead of writing it all out, i just wrote an email to my roomies. i'll just post it all here. you should all get the idea...

hey guys,
ok, here's the deal. elena called me two days ago asking whether i was going to move in. i said yes. i also asked if i were to move in a bit later (giving her more time) would she clean my room? she told me (and i'm sure she was in the house at that time) that she checked the house over and it was fine. she told me there was a couch left behind, and a mattress in my room. there has been some leftover food, and i should go check to see if i want any because they are just frozen food. i said okay. i went to our house today and was absolutely flabberghasted at what i saw. first of all, i knew she left the back door unlocked, i had no idea she left the door WIDE OPEN. the house was a MESS, not only was there a couch (NOT USABLE) and a matress (i couldn't even give it to some poor ass in the streets) there was also two coffee tables, some...bookshelf thing in the kitchen, tons of garbage, tons of empty beer bottles lying around, the freezer was PACKED, as well as the fridge and cupboards in the kitchen. the living room and some bedrooms had holes in it, as well as graffiti on the walls, the kitchen drawers were absolutely disgusting, electrical wires were hanging about, the air ducts were full of dust, the carpet was disgusting, the hardwood floor upstaires were dirty, and felt like it was gonna break any minute, kitchen counter was sticky and nasty, i won't even mention how awful the two bathrooms were (yes, i went into everyone of your rooms and checked it over, as well, i went into the basement and checked everything over). the fire alarms worked okay, but honestly, the bathrooms were in horrible condition. there are literally holes in both tracy's and ian's rooms, there's a small couch thing in the basement living room and a small coffee table. the previous tenants left behind some posters lots of food, garbage in the kitchen, laundry room AND the backyard, and school supplies (course packs, notebooks, etc). in the kitchen, the bottom right stove does not work. the little door that covers the electrical stuff in the basement is broken. also, some of the electrical outlets do NOT HAVE COVERS. have you any idea how dangerous that is? it's absolutely disgusting. needless to say, i did not unpack my belongings.

i am serious, you guys. this is what i want you to do: tell your parents, and tell me when they are free. us 4 (maybe 5, if ian and his parents agree to come to waterloo, they should) and our parents NEED to meet elena at our house and talk about it. a sunday would be best. how about one to two weeks from now? honestly, guys, we are ALREADY PAYING her.. starting yesterday. even if we're not living there, she has to have the place ready for us. i am not painting the living room. honestly, the most i will paint is my own room. she, as a landlord will have to do the painting. it's her job as a landlord. she's telling us we can paint because she doesn't want to pay hundred of dollars to hire people to paint it for us. the house, as of now, is in NO PROPER LIVING CONDITION.

i am already reading up what rights we have as a tenant in Ontario. if she does not agree to repair all the damages and clean the house, i will take legal actions. i have included a couple of websites i found which you may be intersted in taking a look at. please do.

i am very concerned about this and i'm hoping you guys are as well. and to prove how serious i am, if she does not agree to fix everything, and if (i'm sorry if i am sounding a like a total bitch) you guys don't take action for your own rooms and rights (because the house is our's as a whole, not just mine, and i don't think its fair that i should be doing all the work), i'm probably going to leave and find my own place. and i really don't want to. for the time being, please don't contact her about it yet. i am hoping that we find our own solution, then tell her exactly what we want done. and *hopefully* ian's dad, since he should know all about what rights we have, can talk to her about the situation. but i want all of us to meet her at the house sometime soon.

please reply with your comments. (especially ian, because he hasn't replied to our emails and my msn messages so far)
