Protests, Skinheads, and Human Kindness

Its been a while.. I wont deny it. Lots has gone on, here are a few short blurps about some major stuff.

Driving to Markham fair with Sean we pass these protesters on the street. they are holding signs that say "Abotion Kills Kids". Yup, right there in your face like a big fat smack accross the cheek. I think my jaw hit the floor and my blood pressure sky rocketed. In a matter of seconds I was engolfed in rage.
Yes, I did wind down the window. Yes I did start to yell back.
"What gives you the right to make women driving down this public road to feel bad about themselves?"
"your ignorant and have nothing better to do then push your beliefes on others"
"Get a job and get a life"
"How dare you try to take away my rights as a woman, the right my mother and grandmother faught for"

I was ready to get our of the car. Sean wouldnt let me. As we are pulling away we notice a mother and her young daughters at the protest. The mother is holding a sign, the daughters are playing by the side of the road. Sean says "Someone should tell that woman letting kids play by the side of the road kills kids" I begged Sean to turn the car around.

So i have a Myspace account. I think most of the world does these days. I get lots of emails saying "Hi beautiful, Your sexy" or "Add me baby!"... hmmm no thanks Ill wait for the more intellegent people to find me.
So i get this email from this guy. He says i seem out spoken and smart. Hey you want to call me smart I will read your email!
He says he is interested in my oppionion on people like him. So i click on his profile... More or less, he is a skin head. He doesnt believe that people should "mix" and believes that white people should rule the world.. WELL THEN. i should have said more then i did, but i didnt feel like picking an on-line fight. He boasted about how smart his people are with high IQs and lots of education. WOOHOO i thought. I told him to use his powers for good not evil. Pretty sad there is still people out there.

I got a car. UNHUH thats right.. a freakin CAR! So its a bit older. a 97 but hey its a car. Notice how i didnt say anything about it running? Well thats because after the new plates where put on it, it wouldnt start. And it wouldnt start the morning after that either. And yesterday it almost didnt start again. this is not to say that it hasn't started because it had. And I have driven it lots. It just doesnt start every time.

So the morning it didnt start I had a HUGE meeting in Pickering. It didnt start, I thought I was going to cry. Here I am in my Neighbours driveway with the hood up just sitting there. NO one was comming to help me. I dont know any of the neighbours. So im going to sit here and well.. do ntohing I guess. A man walks by with his 2 kids. Asks me if Im ok. Yeah Im fine but my car wont start. he goes, gets his car and gets mine to start! I couldnt believe it. I total stranger. I was so happy. So thanks total stranger! and good Karma on you!

well there is the update more or less. I still dont think i like driving that much. I miss the TTC. Class sucks, but that is a whole other post.

Random

There used to be this shop by my house. It was more of an old lady shop but I could always find just the right little black dress for every occasion. A few years ago it closed down.. I have never been able to find another store that had a dress that fit me so well since.

I love to cook. Some times too much. When I start to cook its like something takes over and all of the sudden I have all this food and I don't want to eat any of it. So I have made a pie, Pad Thai, 2 lasagnas, roasted a squash, and am just about to make more pie…. Sad huh?

Sometimes when I walk by my self I hum…

Im starting to realize that all the friends I used to have I cant relate to any more. This whole full time working family partner kids house thing.. it sucks but makes a lot more room to meet new people and appreciate the people I still can be my self with.

I secretly wish I was a cashier… I would love to play with the scan gun all day long. When I am at Dominion, I will wait all day just as long as I can use the self check out.. just so I can pretend.

I want a car so bad yet I am so afraid to drive. My hands get all sweaty and I get scared I will hit someone or an animal or something… cant I just learn how to fly? There is no traffic in the air.

I make "to do" lists at least once a week. If my Wednesday I haven't done all of it, I start to loose sleep and get all stressed until its done.

I could eat leftovers for ever and ever.

I like it when guys hold open doors for me… I think it is sweet

I leave garbage everywhere.. Even if I DID have a trash can in my room it would still be littered with tags from clothes pieces of paper and water bottles everywhere. Im just a slob..

Did I mention my cooking obsession?

Materialistic people drive me nuts… just be freaking happy will ya?

If I could start all over again I would be an interior decorator…

I like to do lots of stuff like paint… I like painting so much I always end up covered in it. And happy about it.

I wish I could dance… and dance well.
I like to stare at pretty and interesting objects. Sometimes I will just stand there and look at something for a long time, even in a busy street and people have to walk around me. To bad the saying isn't "stop and smell the roses in the middle of a crowed down town street in front of a subway entrance" cuz then it would apply to me.

Random should be my middle name.. maybe even hyphenated with blonde.

Fries and salad are my favorite foods.

I like black olives to much better then green, but cant understand why they are more expensive.

Sometimes where I dream, its from a view of an ant and others it a view from a bird.. Sometimes there is no sound.

My cat snores and I do too.
