Rock On.

So I worked the morning shift on Tuesday so I was able to catch Rockstar:INXS. Ty again blew me away. I actually had goosebumps and I don't even like rock music that much. He sang "Proud Mary" and I was glued to his image (above). I'm such a dork, reality tv oriented and all. This photo definately doesn't do him justice...he is way hotter than that! *smiles* Check out the show.

The weekend is almost here, I work tonight and then have three days off, which is awesome because this Dunster Music Fest is this weekend. I'm stoked to go. It is going to be really really fun I think. There are a couple of hip hop acts too which is pretty exciting. I'm excited to hang out with everyone too. I usually have to work at least a few shifts but not this time. I got all they days I requested. But then next week will be a long one...so it all works out.

I want to talk about something else here too. So in BC the teachers are thinking of going on strike. I am so pissed about it, be warned, this might turn into a rant. I don't think the teachers should be allowed to go on strike. It isn't like they are actually making a point. Seriously though. They will walk off the job for one day and then the government will legislate them back to work and they will end up looking ridiculous. Teachers are going on strike because they want more money, and because they have no contract as of this year. Well to be honest, I think it is a bunch of horseshit. The teachers make enough money already but even then, if they want more money they neeed to bargain for it, not strike. The only people who end up being affected by the strike are the kids. The government doesn't care. WHen I was in Grade 12 the teachers went out in May, which means that our final exams were postponed, which most kids would be really happy about however in BC we had these exams called Provinicals. All 12 students around the province have to write them and we are scored all together, which means that these are the marks that universities look at. Because ours had to be postponed means that generally most of the spots for Universities were already taken. Each test occurs at the same time around the province. I applied to a bunch of schools with my late test results and low and behold I got into my last choice school because the others were already full. I was beside myself I was so angry. My grades were really really good in highschool...definatley an A student. But I got over that one, I ended up loving my school and was happy I didn't move to Quebec. So then in my third and final year of university the union went on strike again. And again this was during the final exam time. And because both of my parents are part of the union (they work for the school district and mum is specialized) I was not allowed to cross the picket line. To make matters worse I was part of the student union so I was not even allowed to be involved with the negotiations. I recieved a call from two of my profs to say that if I missed my exams due to the strike that I would recieve a failing grade. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place so I did what any political science student would do...I went up to the school and to the picket line. I talked to the leader of the strike and told him what was going on...IE: that I have finals today to complete my degree, that I am paying money, my OWN money to be there, that my parents are both union members, that I understand what they are fighting for but that I can't say I agree and that because I am a member of the student union I might lose my position so that I can complete my exams. He was a bit stunned at the moment so I grabbed my cell and called my Mum. I was in tears because I didn't know what to do. On one hand the union has taken care of my family for my entire life. On the other hand I cannot just give up these classes. I had two left to complete my degree and had paid $1200 for each class of my hard earned monies. On yet another hand, I didn't think it fair that I lose my position within the student union for doing something that I saw no way around. Finally Mum picked up and said, "YOu cannot cross that picket line, for any reason." This made it even more hard. I talked more and more to the picket leader and finally we came to an agreement. He said he would sign a paper saying that they permitted me to go and write my final exams as long as I did not use any school facilities or spend any money within in the school, thus saying that I could walk in, sit down, write my finals and get out, not use the bathroom or anything else. We wrote our little contract on a napkin which I still have. It was a horrible day for me. Who were the victims of this strike? ME! AND MY FELLOW STUDENTS. I have several friends who took F's for what they believed in, and several friends who walked right through swearing at the picketers. They ended up on strike for one more day and then the government legislated them back to work. They ended up getting nothing that they went on strike for. They also ended up with lawsuits from students who lost money and grades. The issue is still talked about on campus. Strikes accomplish nothing. It is a totall waste. Blah blah blah. Enough of this.

Love TY. Watch the show. Rock on.

Yes I am the boss

*scream* I have so much to say all at the same time! First things first. So I got my pink hair back. It is awesome. I am more than beyond stoked about it!!! *Grins* I'll get some photos soon. So it is pink and black in the front, and blonde in the back. I know, sounds weird and you know what? It looks weird too, however, it is so cool that you can't stop looking at it and I can't stop smiling about it! *smiles* I'm so awesome.

Secondly, my John Legend CD's arrived today. They are INCREDIBLE. Did I mention that they are the BEST SONGS EVER? Or what about how AMAZING John Legend is? Yes, I adore the new CD as well as an older one I managed to get my hands on. It is truly amazing what the power of boobs can do...*laugh* Just kidding. I listened to each CD on my way home today, I was driving like 20 kph. For the Americans out there, that is Kilometers per hour, it is also on your mileage gage...makes it look like you're going real fast! My favourite song is still Ordinary People but I'm getting pretty hooked on "She don't need to know." Even though it is a song about cheating and that makes me mad. *laugh* John Legend could never upset me. He is truly a gift for me, his music is more than beautiful. Go buy it. Right now. You'll love it. I promise.

So in more exciting news, I have the weekend off. I'm going to go to Dunster to the concert. My sister is performing. Should be hilarious and fun. I hope it doesn't rain. But I'm super excited to go. It will be a really really fun time. *smiles* I love live music. And supposedly a really great conscious hip hop group is coming...so I can't wait to jam with some outrageous CANADIAN MC'ees. *smile* I am so stoked...I am so happy.

Other than that, I'm working the morning shift and feeling pretty exhausted so I should go. And maybe take a nap. or just listen to my new CD's again. Or perhaps just daydream. I love to daydream. About being in California or Texas, about seeing the Golden Gate Bridge or the Pyramids. Daydreams provide such an escape for me. I find myself daydreaming at the most inopportune times but once a daydream comes, you can't just ignore it. Besides that, it is a stress relief. *smiles* More to come.

my pink hair

Upon waking up today with a horrid hangover I am remembering how much I could party without consequence three years ago. I never had a hangover much less feeling like the bag of rotten potatoes I feel like right now. And I didn't even drink that much. This surely cannot mean that I at 24 years old am getting old? Can it? It is unreal to say the least. Work tonight shall be a fantastic time as Cammie is feeling the same way...we are quite the team. *laugh*In more good, no GREAT, news, I am reinstating the pink hair. For those of you who didn't know, for eight glorious months I had pink hair. Then all of a sudden I was worried about fading and lookign like a hoochie and we got rid of it and replaced my lovely pink hair with carmel and platinum blonde. That was over four months ago and to be honest, I'm still feeling the regret of removing the pink. My stylist finally has come through for me...she is going to let me do the pink again. You must understand that I am in her salon chair twice a month doing something else to my hair because it isn't cool enough, or it isn't exciting enough, I tell her, I NEED DRAMA, bring me the high energy excitment hair. We've tried alot of things and countless hours have been poured in my hair. She was adamnt for a long while that the pink was a thing of the past, but no, oh no, she has relented and I'm pleased as hawaiian punch! So keep your eyes peeled for ever more photos of me, with my pink hair. *yippee*

The Four Wine Bottles

So having finally recovered from drinking four bottles of wine to myself two days ago, this morning I'm feeling great. Yesterday morning wasn't as good. Thankfully I didn't get the full extent of a usual wine hangover, just felt crappy and pretty stunned all day. And what brought this on? I'm not too sure. I was just having a glass, and a glass turned into a bottle and one turned into four. I don't remember alot from the night, like I don't remember even opening the fifth bottle *yikes*, and I don't remember going to bed. I don't remember my friends leaving. Not good...but good at the same time. I love having days off.

So at work they fired the person who was making my working life hell. It came as a total shock to me. Seeingshow I'm leaving at the end of this month anyways. I can't wait to be home with George. I can't wait to head to San Diego and see my Californians. I can't wait to feel that hot heat of Texas on my skin and hear most everybody say y'all. I can't wait to shop whenever I want and actually bring the stuff home with me instead of waiting three weeks for it to arrive in the mail. I can't wait to hit up the clubs and dance until the wee hours of the morning. I can't wait to see John Legend or Kayne West live in some stadium or venue. Speaking of which, so the day before I moved to Washington from San Diego, Laurie and I went to this little place called Humphrey's by the Bay. It is this little lounge that I fell in love with. It didn't hurt that they had this unreal latin grooves band playing that night. So anyways, in September John Legend is playing there. I want to go so badly. This little club is so intimate and I think he would sound so incredible there. His velvet voice...I hope I can get there. *grooving to Common right now*

Okay so I'm still a dork too, I'm totally feeling the new Jermaine Dupri song..."Gotta Getcha". I'm going to take a stab in the dark and guess that this song is about his girl Janet Jackson. I want to have a song about me. Maybe not one quite like that but still, imagine knowing that you have a song written about you. I actually when I was 16 dated a guy who was the lead singer in a rock band. He wrote a song for me, but titled it "Mary Jane" as Kelsey just doesn't rhyme with anything. Or least that was what he claimed, I found out later that he was also dating three other girls at the same time and we all met at a volleyball tournament. It was sick actually. *laughing* Four 16 year old girls fighting at a school volleyball tournament. I wish I could say that my team beat all theirs but unfortunately my team sucked so badly we didn't win a game. *laughing* Although in the beginning part of one game, where the entire teams line up on opposite sides and serve balls constantly, I managed (NOT TRYING TO) to hit one of those stupid girls in the face with my serve. She got a bleeding nose and was definately going to beat me up after the game...*laugh* It never came to that, the stupid boy showed up and my vengeful bitch side took over. A lady in public....screaming bitch in private. *smiles*

My day today is going to consist of sitting outside, sun tanning and relaxing. I'm also going to work on the laundry and get the house all cleaned up. Not that it is messy but still...I like it clean as can be. Talk to y'all later.

R.I.P Peter Jennings

So a great Canadian died today. Peter Jennings. And although most Americans believe him to be their own, he is in fact a Canadian. He was a great man and an inspirational reporter. I actually have not the right words to really do him justice...so I leave it at Rest In Peace Mr. Jennings.

I got a spectacular pedicure today. My feet good incredible. And I feel better too. I feel good about having my toes all done. Makes me want to wear the most gorgeous sandals ever and just show everyone my new pretty toes. *smiles*

Monday Monday Monday. I feel a bit of a mess today. I can't decide what to wear, how to wear my hair and if I should do different makeup. Such important questions. *laughing* yea right. I need to just chill more. I need to just put on an outfit, know I look great and relax. *laughing* Alot easier said than done. Off to fiddle with my clothes.

Donalda and Kelsey are so cute.

last night we had a good time. went to the bar. had a good night, went to Dean's house and just chilled...until 5am. It was nice. It was fun. It was hilarious. From our hometown hero Vincent Clark dressed as a fisherman dancing around to Donalda making her most hilarious faces. This photo is one of how cute we are. Yes we had a bit to drink, but we are so cute. Donalda is really important to me. She is always there to make me smile when I need someone. She is my family too though. I've grown up with her. Her family is as close as my own family. I love her.

George is home in the US now. Horray! *smiles* I missed him sooooo much. I can't wait to get home to him. Turns out we're not moving back to California like I thought. We're staying in Texas for awhile. At least a year. Which is cool, I don't mind living in Texas although I was really really looking forward to being in California. I miss California so much. I miss my Californians so much. But all in good time. Hopefully we'll be posted back in San Diego. I'm so excited to leave and get into my own house with all my own stuff. My own life back again. Yea!!!!

Anyways, thats all for now. Tune in later for more exciting stuff.

My Only Guarantee.

Accept me as I am - I have no guarantee. A claim to perfection I have not. Perfect I cannot be. I like you.....am human. Prone to make mistakes. Failure is not a character flaw Just a part of the human makeup. I live I laugh and I also learn. My knowledge is incomplete. I am searching all the time in waking hours as well as sleep. I have a long road to travel as well as you do. We learn our lessons on the way. Wisdom we shall accrue. Accept me as I am Because I am ....me. And You are you. No one like me in the world. That is my only guarantee.

Sisters

Back to work today. Feeling pretty good. Thankful that I'm working with Cammille tonight. Should be a fun time. Excited for dinner. *laugh* So last night I was with Jayda and B, sitting in a nice hot tub and having some drinks until about 4am. It was great. So nice to just relax. I seem to spend a great deal of time worrying about relaxing which is kinda the opposite of actually doing the relaxing. Last week was a really tough week. I went through alot of emotions and issues but I think it has been mostly all sorted out. *smiles*

My sister is mad at me again. For what this time I have no clue. She is always stressing also. Must be a family trait although she doesn't know how to deal with stress, she just gets mad right away. I can't really blame her though...although her life is not stressful in the least. But each to their own. I can't be worried about everyone else all the time.

Only 26 more days until I'm done at the HI. I'm so excited!!!! On that note I'm going to go and spend two hours curling my hair for work. Have a great Tuesday!!!
