Reading

School is really getting inconvenient and it is interrupting my reading I mean my "To Read" list keeps growing and growing and I do do most of my reading in the summer granted (10 book summer as I call it) but at this rate it will need to be like a 30+ Book summer, and I'm going to summer school! This is really not fun. In anycase I though I would bore you all with my "To Read List". And they will be in order of how much I'd like to read them, naturally.

1; Valley of The Dolls - From what I've heard of it, it seems interesting and perhaps its the saddist in my but I like books about self destruction. O_o
2; Foucault's Pendulum - One of my favourite animes (haha *neeerrrddd*) is said to be based off of it to one extent or another and after reading a bit about it, it really intrigues me.
3; Ender's Series from Xenocide on - My brother first got my hooked on this series, and then I got a friend hooked. Anyways as it turns out I really like it. I mean it deals with issues of philosophy, and theology(to a lesser extent) and is such so well written. Mind you out of the two and a half I've read so far I liked Ender's Game (first) best.
4; The Space Odyssey Series - I'm a nerd wanna fight about it?
5; The Hitcher's guide series- My friend has been raving about it for years, and I've owned the complete series for prolly a year (I found it at the thrift store for $2).
6; Many Douglas Coupland novels - I started reading all Families are psychotic and I found myself hooked within the first 6 pages, and Coupland is such an eccentric person and writer.
......
94542; The Constant Gardener - The book that has become a fascist in my reading schedule because of this class. No offence to the book, I'm sure once I get into it I will enjoy it but I'm on page 60 or something and all that has happened a lot of talking and establishing of characters and character relationships. Also I know I could easily choose another book but this book is part murder mystery so... maybe Hannibal Lecteur will be at the root of it all (Like all good crime solving novels? Sherlock Holmes? Forget about it)

I <3 people.

That was sarcastic. Just because I'm going to rant about this one bitch I had to deal with at work today. I don't actually haaaate people because I got a lot of friendly people today too.
Anyways I was in drive thru and this is how out convo goes:
Recording: Welcome to Tim Hortons can I take you order please?
*Long awkward pause*
Me: Hi, can I take you order please?
Her: Can I have a plain bagel toasted with-
Me: I'm sorry, we are all out of plain would you like a sesame or whole wheat?
Her: Ok then I'll get an... umm... onion wait no did you say you had sesame? No I'll get a whole wheat. No, cancel that I'll get...
(I'm not going to type it out but it goes on like this for several more bagels, and then she gets rid of some and then adds more)


*at the window, Traci is a bit irritated, but she's not going to rude but at the same time she isn't going to be ridiculously nice and polite, and she deals with the customer*

Customer: Pardon me, I had 3 bagels. Why did you give me 4?
Me: I'm sorry there must've been a mistake in your order.
Customer: I don't see why you would think I'd want 4 bagels when there's only three of us in the car.
Me: I'm sorry,but it's not like I can see into your car from here, and I'm not physic. If you could just give me the extra bagel and a second I will get you your change.
Customer: I don't remember what she says but it was likely something like 'I'm a dirty cunt and these are my bastard children' (actually it was just her yelling at how impolite I was and how I don't deserver to work with the public)
Me: here you are and sorry about that *slams window*

**customer remains idle at window**
Me: Was there something else you needed?
Customer: Yeah, I want you to apologize to me RIGHT NOW!!
Me: I don't see why I should apologize when you have been yelling at me while I've been trying to help you through the whole ordeal.
Customer: I've been raising me voice?!?!?! Here I am trying to keep my cool and while you say 'fuck' infront of my young kids! Let me speak to your manager!
Me: The manager isn't in but one of the super-
Customer: I don't care just let me to her now.
Supervisor: Was there something I can help you with?
Customer: Yes, Give me the number of the manager, the owner or something and the first and last name of her. Someone as rude as her doesn't deserve to be working with the public, and she swore in front of my young kids and over charged me for my bagels. And I'm not leaving until I get an apology, I have never been treated so rudely in my entire life!!!!
Supervisor If you have a problem call this number tomorrow and you can speak with the manager or owner
Her: I still want an apology.
Me I'm sorry and have a *great* day.
**is actually thinking, I'm sorry your kids have such a psycho bitch as a mother**
**Customer leaves**
Supervisor: Don't worry, I know you didn't do anything wrong and if the manager asks me I'll let her know what actually happened.
Next Customer: maaann.... what a bitch. I hope you spat in her food.
Me: Oh I was tempted, sorry to keep you waiting.

and so it went.


PS: For those of you who know me and know that I do have a dirty habit of swearing without thinking about it, I asked the supervisor who was right there the entire time if I swore, and she said no.

Tv

I'm not impressed with the tv today.
Two Reasons:

Doctor Phil:
My mom was watching it and I was in the room... basically Doctor Phil was like "With Anna Nicole's death the media has been exploiting it and I think its disgusting." Meanwhile, the entire show was devote to her death.

Canada Am:
This morning before school I was watching Canada Am and there was a report on Two teens who got two toddlers high. Firstly, the new reporter kept using slang like "Fat Joint" , "tolking" and "dope". Which I'm like laaaammee.... someone is trying to be cool.
Also what really annoyed me was that the news reporters, a police officer and probably more people said "this is the worst thing that I have ever seen." and Im thinking. FUCK! Get some perspective. Like, open your eyes to the world. Like who has it worse, two kids inhaling drugs or.... I dunno kids in Africa who get subjected to extreme poverty and aids. Or like children sex slaves. Seriously, I hate how our culture seems to be able to disregard terrible things going on in the world, but god forbid our kids get subjected to drugs that young. Anyways... I could rant on and on about this for a long time but I won't put you through that. Instead...
here's a link to something else that really annoys me.

PS: It's about Bill and Melinda Gates foundation.

More about my brother

My brother, he moved out right.
Which is awwweeesssssooommmeeee!!!
Just because, now I get his old dresser. XD And my current one, my mom got in the 80's and it was old then. It's a ratty piece of shit. Not even kidding.
Ok, but also this story gets sketchy from here on in.
Some of you **may** remember a blog I wrote were I mentioned a conversation I had with my brother and he said he was going to remind me that he likes porn every month. Yeah, shady I know.
So before he moved he was packing all his stuff up (I got a lot of free junk :D) and he calls me over.
There was a box with a bunch of girly mags and he's like "I figured you were due for a reminder" and I was just like "what the fuck, you're such a creeper. Get out of my house, right now."

Moral of the story is.... my brother is ridiculous. Long and the short of it. And he's gone :D
No more drinking all the water, liquor and soda.
