An updated picture of my tongue.

What is happening to the youth of today's fashion sense?

MULLETS, SLOTTED SUNGLASSES, STUDDED BELTS, and OTHER 80's Fashion seems to be making a come back....let me ask you something, We all regretted the 80's the first time, why are we letting the youth of today make the same mistakes as we did? And i am all for crazy hair cuts and funky colours but MULLETS....all i can say is NO NO NO NO NO! So how do we save the world from this horrible 80's/punk disaster? I think that anyone we see that has taken this fashion choice, we should throw water balloons or something. I know that water balloons are hard to transport but sometimes we need to make sacrifices to correct these mistakes before it is too late.

The wierdness of people

Okay so me and my sister were in the grocery store buying ground beef for dinner last night and the people in front of us purchased 5 cases of bottled water, with 24 bottles in each, that's 120 bottles, and 8 packages of 2kg white granulated sugar...oh and one package of gum. What do you think they were gonna do with all that sugar and water?

Digital Camera Update

Well everyone, i have purchased a digital camera, and i love it. Now i did lots of research online, well maybe like 20 minutes of research so i knew some of the right questions to ask. Then yesterday during my lunch i went to blacks and let the sales girl talk to me for like half an hour about all sorts of things, like image stabilizers ie. software based vs lens based (lens based is way better) and rechargeable batteries vs double A batteries. Then i went back to work and asked every single person what they know about digital camera's. From there i made a list of things i want from a camera.
1.An image stabilizer, the lens based kind
2.A camera with a view finder as well so that on extremely sunny days (like when i am in Greece in June) i can still take pictures.
3.Motion stabilization(because it sounds cool)
4.Face recognition
Basically i wanted a camera that was idiot proof that i couldn't screw up when taking a picture.
So last night off i went to Best Buy to look at the camera's with a certain model in mind. My sister came with me because she says i am easily up sold(which is true) and she didn't want me to end up getting stuff i didn't need.
We went to the camera section and i bought the prettiest camera there. The Canon Powershot SD1100, It had everything on my list and it was super pretty. So everyone be very exciting i will now be posting lots of pictures!!!!

First day blues

This post is in dedication to my sister. It is her first day back to work after a year of raising the happiest cutest baby boy in the whole world. I know she is missing him something fierce today.

I just wanted to take a moment to say...Andrea, you rock as a mom.

What is your ideal super power?

This is always the question i ask when trying to get to know someone. Because if they have a well thought out superpower and reason of why it is the best superpower, then i know that we will get along well.
I must say, some of the best answers to this question i have EVER received i have got in the last few days. Lindsay and Ryan. They both have well thought out reasons about why they would choose their power. I am very impressed with both of them and can tell we are kindred spirits.
Plus we would make one kick butt superhero team!
Although me and Lindsay were talking today and decided we were evil, so i guess we would have to be super villains. But that would be fun too.
So Ryan, would you like to join our super villains team?
Although i must warn you that me and Lindsay can be quite lazy and disorganized...so i don't know how much evil we would achieve on a grand scale..but we do make time every day to cause a little bit of evil. Every little bit helps.

A conversation between Erin and Lindsay

Lindsay:Oh my god, yesterday a co-worker yelled out "jenni do you want to be a PBO" "PBO" "PBO" it was a total turrets situation.
Erin:Oh my god, he is so weird.
Lindsay:Jenni was like "what are you talking about" and he just kept saying PBO PBO over and over again never actually explaining himself.
Erin:Man i miss all the fun!
Erin:If you could have any superpower what would it be?
Lindsay:Teleportation, just think about how much time I could save.
Erin:I would choose mind control.
Lindsay:Man if i could teleport i could teleport myself ANYWHERE, just think about it if you could fly someone would see you and if you were invisible you couldn't fly but if you teleport you could just teleport yourself to Fiji for lunch and suntan for an hour. (she rambled alot about teleportation here, she feels very strongly about her super power, i think that is why we get along so well because i feel that strongly about mind control)
Erin:I am totally gonna blog this conversation
Lindsay:Do you want to go swim suit shopping at lunch?
Erin:Totally
Lindsay:Everyone kept saying yesterday how quiet it was yesterday without you. We got so much work done.
Erin:Well don't worry i am back now...let the slacking commence. (just kidding, we work really hard)

Bloggers block

Okay everyone...my brain is not functioning at a very high level these past couple days because i have gotten sick. I hate being sick...i get all wimpy and cranky. Plus i ultimately always get a sore throat...all swollen and scratchy. Which i hate because that means i can't eat food anymore. Basically when i get sick i go on and all apple juice diet. But all i can think about is food, which is weird because i am not normally obsessed with food. Then when i finally get better i have this whole list of food that i would like to eat...and it is never as good as what i imagined it would be.

Walk Wrath, its all the RAGE!!!

Not many people know what walk wrath is, it is road rages' unknown pedestrian brother. It is really only common among people who live in crowded urban areas, relying on walking as their main form of transportation. I myself suffer from this terrible disease.


There are two main triggering factors for a sufferer of walk wrath.


1. the slow walker who meanders from point A to point B. The sufferer usually gets stuck behind this person or group of people, especially when they are in a hurry. This causes frustration and anger.

2. the unobservant walker. The sufferer is walking along, conscious of all the people around them, ready to bob or weave through the crowd of walkers when the moment presents itself. When all of a sudden another person just walks right in front of you and cuts you off completely. This drives the sufferer crazy due to the sudden unsuspected interruption and delay in their walk.



This is a horrible condition that many downtown Torontonians suffer from. So next time you see a person traveling up a stream of people like a trout, please remember to give them lots of space and keep your distance because they are most likely suffering the Walk Wrath, and they will punch you if you get in their way.

This has been a public service announcement.

That's HOT

Okay, i just had to show everyone how photogenic i am. I believe this was a Halloween party at my friends house. I can't remember my hair ever being this long either.
This was the year i was a vampire. There were quite a few technical problems with this costume, one i had to cover myself with baby powder to make me really pale, then my vampire teeth wouldn't stay in my mouth..so in the end i just looked like a fancy dressed goth kid.
I am granting you guys the rare privilege of basking in my hotness, try not to be so jealous.
ENJOY!!

The New TIN??

Okay everyone, it is time to make a very tough decision....a decision that could either make me a superstar...or make me a dud.......HAIR CUT TIME.

So my friend approached me today and told me that i should change my hair colour to platinum blond. Then my other friend got involved and told me i should cut my hair really really short.

I am wondering, to cut or not to cut? to dye or not to dye?

Will i do it? all signs point to yes...because i do love to make drastic changes when it comes to my hair.
Well stay tuned because my hair appointment is this weekend.

Crazy go train people

So i have another great go train story. For all of you who haven't ever been on the go train before all the seats are set up in groups of four like this:
1 2
3 4
I was sitting in #3, the rest were empty. now a lady comes along puts all her bags on seat 2 and then she sits directly across from me in seat number 1, now normal go train etiquette is sit as far away from on another as possible, think men's urinal rules...only sit beside some one if you have no other choice. So then this lady i am gonna call her crazy...so then crazy does the weirdest thing she twists herself so forward on the seat she is practically not even sitting on the seat she is in the space between her seat and my seat. I mean crazy was practically sitting on my lap the entire train ride home. It was completely odd. Now normally this is when a normal person would say something to her....but as a general rule of mine, i try to interact as little as possible with 'people' so i had no choice but to ignore her. and suffer in silence.

But it was just so crazy i had to share.

Digital Cameras

I am new to the camera world....i have never owned a camera before, never really been interested. BUT....i think it is finally time to join the world of picture takers.

Now here's the problem...i know absolutely NOTHING about cameras except you press the button an it takes a picture. So where do you start when you are shopping for a camera?
I am starting my investigation. Please look forward to my investigative report.

Go Transit

Okay, i live in Scarborough, but i work downtown so everyday i am forced to take some sort of transit. Now i live in Scarborough but where i live is where the ttc officially stops, it is a place called west hill. So my choices to get downtown are...1. ttc - one bus ride, rt ride, and two subway transfers later, i am downtown, now this takes about 1h&45mins. 2. go transit - 45 minute train ride.
So go transit seems like the better option. but unfortunately they are not very reliable at all. And as time goes by they get less reliable but their prices keep going up.
Also what is with all these go transit riders, they all have to stand in specific spots and sit in specific seats. And watching them deboard is my favourite, especially at guildwood. People literally run off the train, run to their cars and then take off at high speeds to get out of the parking lot first.
Anyways these are just a few things i have noticed about riding the go train...if you guys have any amusing stories about commuting to work, i would love to hear them.

Sunday

Today, i got up and then watched my sister and her boyfriend play guitar hero. That is one crazy game!!! I am not very good at it...but i don't care because ORIGINAL Nintendo is where it is at. I love that system...call me old fashion but it is way funner than all the new systems.

Also today me and my sister, Stephanie are planning our trip to Greece. We are going backpacking to some Greek islands. It should be a really good trip if we manage not to kill each other. I am pretty excited. On some islands we are gonna be staying in these little huts no bigger than a storage shed. Those should be some fun times.

Now on another note...everyone is bothering me about a theme for this blog...what should it be. I would like some feed back on this.

looking forward to hearing from you.
