Shout-outs to various people

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALEX! I've very much enjoyed our friendship, and hope you definitely have a good one today! :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ADELA! Now you know what all we've had to put up with through these years of knowing Sean.. ;) It's been great getting to know you, and I hope you have an awesome day! (Sean better remember) See you later! :)

The Ides of March today.. is that spooky enough for ya freaks? ;) Not for me, and apparently not for a couple people I know who are getting married on this very day.

To steal someone else's idea (sorry!).. here are my shout-outs. If you're not on this list, you'll have to wait and see if there's another edition coming along. ;)

Spoz: For always making me laugh, and providing me with amusing thoughts. You cheer me up big-time, dude.. luv ya! :)
Xan: For putting up with me even when I take FOREVER to respond to my messages.. you know I'll get back to you eventually. Thanks for being who you are.
Connie: Thanks for always emailing me the Bible Study attendance in a timely fashion.. you've been a great friend.
John A.: If you ever get to read this, know that it's always been fun talking to you.
Corey: For being humorous and trying to help with my computer problems on occasion.. lots of props to you. Thanks so much for always trying to get me to watch gross horror stuff that you know I won't ever watch, either. ;)
Darren: What can I say about a great guy? I've always enjoyed talking to you.. wish we could do it more often.
Kody: You've always been fun to talk to.. and again, I'm sorry for flipping out on ya.
lel: It's been a real pleasure getting to know you.. Vancouver 2004, here we come!
Phil: Thanks for always being there, and saying hi.. being who you are helps, too.
Chrystal: Awana is so fun with you in it.. I don't think I could do half as good a job as a leader.. that's why I'm "only" a secretary!
Spocko: Thanks for being really strange.. and I mean that with absolute sincerity!
Wolfie: You've been a real friend to me.. I only wish I could repay the debt of gratitude I feel I owe you.
TLD: You've also been a good friend to me.. thanks for your support! Definitely if you ever get over here from Sydney, we should go out for some Pho noodles and bubble tea. :)

Stay online for longer than two minutes!

Staying in this Friday night.. I'm not even going to take the bus into town for Fellowship later on. Too much trouble, since I don't want to put people out by getting them to drive me back to Richmond.. ah well, allows me time to read the paper and do all this other stuff. :)

By the way, if you message me to talk.. stay online for longer than two minutes! I realize that sometimes you can't, and want to send me quick messages (which is cool), but when the message is "Hey, how are you?" or something of the sort, I'd assume you were going to be online for longer than two minutes. This just happened to me twice in the space of ten minutes.. two different people, to be sure. Oh well.. I'll catch up with you people later... you know who you are, especially since both of you read this blogspot on a regular basis. No, I'm not mad at either of you.. so no worries on that score!

Oh, and both of you DID message me again; then one of you jumped off AIM and onto Yahoo. (the other one said he forgot he messaged me and jumped off.. ah well, it happens) I'll talk to you guys, I promise.. as usual, I'm multi-tasking. So PLEASE don't take it personally if I don't get to you straight away.. I almost never do for anyone, actually.

UBC Jazz Choir festival is not a punk rock band tour!

My brother's going to be gone for the weekend again.. he's going to be in Edmonton for a festival with the UBC Jazz Choir. Last weekend, he told me to tell everyone that he was really going on tour with a punk rock band.. sure, and then can I have $5 from him when he gets back? (it's my joking fee for fielding endless questions from everyone since he doesn't tell them where he's going: "Where's Jon? Isn't he back yet?") And of course, I'll miss him.. even though I won't hear parody songs about me and certain other subjects. Yep, it'll be just me and my parents.. no foil to be found. Yikes. Sure, I can survive in that situation (I've done it before), but well.. you know how it is when you need other people around that you like! :)

Gay As Folk Implosion!

I'd just like to say my fuzzy brain does do me favors and get somewhat obscure musical / pop-culture references at times. This is perhaps evidenced by a brief conversation I just had with Andrew Glancey. His MSN name contained a nice double reference to a TV show and a band.. in only four words, too! (it might be an example of simple complexity, hahaha) He was impressed that I got it: "nice pick-up [with a thumbs-up icon]," indeed. Hey.. at least this proves my brain steers me in the right direction some of the time, at least! :)

The name in question? "G[ay as Folk Implosion]".. cool one! :)


And for those of you who are wondering why I pop online and then offline on various IM programs.. Yahoo and AIM in particular are being evil today. MSN isn't being quite as devilish as it could be, but it's still being cranky. So that's the story I'm sticking to. ;)


Heh, my friend Dylan regularly forgets his own birthday. There was this year where he sorta remembered his birthday was coming up... yet on the day of his birthday, he wondered why his mom was up extra early cooking his favorite dish in the kitchen for breakfast! He kinda remembered then, but it slipped his mind until his brother called from Toronto... then he forgot again until he got ecards from his ex Andrea and his friend Irene. Then he forgot, and wondered why people were so nice to him that day! HAHAHA!

Entertainment value

And.. I wonder if I provide entertainment value for anybody out there. I don't mean the sort of entertainment value that could happen if people laugh at me. Definitely not that at all. What I mean is.. does anyone out there think I'm entertaining / humorous in my own right? I know some people think I do.. and I definitely think that of other people (names withheld to protect the innocent), but sometimes I wonder.

What I wonder is if I have a lot of humor resident within me.. probably I do. However, I'm certainly not going to use it for ill wherever possible. (like burn people with certain stereotypical jokes if I don't know how the person's going to react) I explain it to people as "yeah, my brother and I like to burn people a lot.. y'know, make fun of them and such." That's backfired for my brother, though.. and for me also. Guess we have to make sure the people involved really know us well. :) I definitely like being around humorous people since they usually make me laugh, and enjoy making people laugh in a GOOD way. Sometimes I like teasing people, I admit.. but it's always in good fun, and hopefully people know that! :D

Actually, I do know that I have a good sense of humor. Heck, if the amount of "HAHAHAHA," "lol" (though you can never tell with this one), "Bwahaha," and such stuff I've got over IMs is any indication.. as well as the hilarious laughter sessions I have with my RL friends as well (sometimes over the most mundane things). I can usually see if someone's trying to be genuinely funny, as well.. but not all senses of humor are the same. Then again, sometimes when I laugh (usually at nothing in particular).. my brother thinks I'm on crack. Who knows why.. things just strike me as funny out of nowhere, I guess.. and that's cool. :)

If I'm kind and gentle, then Kody is gwei lo laap saap!

I just saw a post where swampbear said I was one of the SDMB's most gentle and caring spirits.. that means a lot to me from someone I've come to respect a lot. Thank you.. that was a really sweet compliment from a sweet person. :) (might not necessarily apply to me a lot of the time, but if someone can see that in me.. well, all I can say is that I'm honored)

Just got off the phone with my friend Yazmine; she's under the impression that she needs a makeover since she's looked the same for many years.. says she'll go goth one day, and punkish the next. I'm not so sure that will work, but hey.. I need one too. But it's good to have great friends with whom you can just talk about stuff for hours.

I'd just like to add that Kody is gwei lo laap saap. ;) For those of you who do know what it means, I'm just joking around.. he isn't really that. And for those of you who don't know what it means, ask me later! Actually, he's a real darling for putting up with me and my insane jokes.. and when I flipped out over some shocking (to me) revelation a couple weekends ago, he took it fairly well. It's fun to talk to him, actually. :)

Should I go out when it's sunny?

hmm.. it's actually sunny today, so should I go out? probably not, as that probably means spending money! (not that I'm a real cheapskate, but saving money is always a good thing)

on another note, I hear that the gas prices now are as high as 91.5¢ a litre in New Westminster.. that makes me even happier at times that I don't drive. :P

Hardcore editing!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CARLIE! I know you keep telling Johnson to call me a piece of poo, a mister, and other things.. but I still like seeing you at Awana and church. Hope you have a fun day! :)

I'm glad this editing project is over.. took long enough. (at least 30 hours spread out over three days or so) Decided to go at it hardcore today, so I haven't checked my email in over 24 hours.. let's see what I have, even though I should be going to bed since I'm kinda sleepy. Oh well.. checking email now instead of tomorrow morning is probably a good thing. :)

Heavy rain and wind

just heard on the radio that the heavy rainfall / wind warning will last all through the day and overnight too.. it'll rain for the rest of the week and into the weekend.. guess it's back to normal Vancouver weather (rain, rain, and more rain) for us! definitely will have to get used to it again, especially since it hasn't rained like this for months..

LeeJam and Erin

Why Do We Have Friends?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAXINE!!! It's truly been a blessing getting to know you. :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALEXANDRA! I've often wondered what happened to you.. occasionally see you around town, but never say hi. Don't know why.. but I hope you have a good one! :)

Got an email just now with the subject of, "Why Do We Have Friends? Find Out Inside!" I didn't open it, but it reminded me of this time that the Fellowship had a speaker in. I've forgotten what he was talking about that night (possibly spiritual friendships or something along those lines), but one of the questions on a sheet he handed out to us was hilarious!

The question was: "Do you have friends? Why?" Hmm.. I'd hope that most of us have at least a few friends, and can possibly list reasons why we have these friends! (things in common, a sense of humor, good listener, etc.) Alternatively, we COULD say sarcastically: "Noooooo... I don't have friends because I'm a hermit and prefer it that way!" I think the speaker meant something else by the question, but it was still funny.

Blog quasi-synchronicity about sappy adult contemporary music hate

Before I forget: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ERL! I've very much enjoyed getting to know you, and I hope you have a good one! :)


Note to self: since 96.9 FM is no longer devoted to sappy adult contemporary music (Celine Dion, Dan Hill, etc.), I can now listen to it without fear of a massive sugar overdose leading to diabetes. Jack FM is cooler than 97 KISS FM ever was.. :P I remember my sister's reaction at Christmastime: "What? They changed the station's format? Man.. guess that means I'll have to listen to 103.5 QMFM and 104.3 FM more often, then.." (both adult-contemporary stations) You can bet that I actively tried to avoid car rides where she was the driver after that! (ESPECIALLY since she would roll down the car window and scream at passers-by: "I love my sister!" [she'd do this at traffic lights, too..] not to mention the singing of Celine Dion VERY loudly... yikes, what an experience.. um, yay?) Heck, I much prefer my beloved brother being the driver.. his musical taste more closely approximates mine. :) (even if he DOES sing weird parody songs involving bizarre in-jokes we have..)

Edited 20 minutes later to add: I just discovered that in an odd bit of blog quasi-synchronicity, G has posted about how much he hates 102.3 FM in Adelaide, South Australia. (seemingly featuring the same sort of easy listening / sappy adult-contemporary format) True, his post was within the last day or so (can't really tell due to the time difference.. which I can't calculate worth beans anyways), but I guess it counts. ;)

Juicy Fruit gum

WEEKEND WRAP-UP
The snow wasn't TOO bad this weekend at all.. kept to flurries, as advertised. Thank goodness it's all melted now. I may have made David happy with the Juicy Fruit gum, but he didn't like it when I wouldn't give him the whole 12-piece pack! (sorry kid, but I'm rationing it since I only bought eight of those this past week) At least I had my Excel gum.. though one of his sisters said it tasted like toothpaste (spearmint-flavored gum? maybe..) and the other one liked it better than Juicy Fruit! And yes.. I did change the Internet settings so it wouldn't automatically connect. That should be a relief for some of you. ;)

Keep watching this space.. there should definitely be something new coming. ;)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DENNIS! I wonder if your band has done any new music since New Music West a couple years ago.. I have a lot of memories from the "family friend" years. Have a good one, whatever you're doing! :)

Mom's delusions

I just wish my mum would stop bugging me on Sunday mornings, when I'm not usually at my best. Being with family is okay and all, but does she honestly have to sing weird songs and call me utterly stupid nicknames? It's not going to improve my mood any that I haven't had my optimum amount of sleep.. then she wonders why I'm so "cheerful" with my friends and not with her or the family. Newsflash: it's a little later (albeit an hour or so) in the day, and they don't bug me by doing anything remotely like what she does. She's under the delusion that I like what she does, even after I've told her MANY times that I really do not. If she wants me to be more cheerful toward her, she shouldn't do that kind of thing! What to do.. AIYA..

If Jack Bauer smoked marijuana, it would be legal.
