Vase-Vase-Vaselines!!!

Saturday was my birthday
It was fun and I got to hang around with lots of old buddies and new buddies (radio friends and regular friends)


 We all went and saw the Vaselines and, to a lesser extent, the DumDum Girls

DumDum Girls opened with a boring-ish (but kind of good because I was a little drunk already) cover of Play With Fire by you know who off of the you know what soundtrack!

They were pretty in a normal alternative way  - quiet and covered in make-up
All in all they were too much like Vivian Girls - only Vivian Girls seem like they have some personality....

We stopped caring about them and went out and had smokes.

When the Vaselines started we went back inside, and found a spot close-ish to the front - but unfortunetly right by the bathroom so people kept passing by and being lame.

They played a whole bunch of classics and some new songs, they did not play Teenage Superstars though

The girl beside/in front of me and Tawnia kept farting smelly, quiet farts.  One of the guys standing by us pinched his nose closed and nudged the girl he was with and I saw his lips say "Let's go"

obviously they came back out for an encore after trying to be so tricky and pretending they were done

When they were done for real they got off stage like right beside where we were standing and I tugged Francis' sleeve and asked if she wanted to do an interview with CIVL Radio, and she declined...

I was HELLLA disapointed
but, I went to the merch table to buy a t-shirt anyways.  people kept budging in front of me!
Francis actually came to the merch table so I decided I should buy a record and have her sign it, because I didn't want to ruin the tee I was buying already. 

She signed the record "Happy Birthday" and my name and her name obviously and I asked her "So, are you sure you don't want to do an interview"
and she agreed to do one!!!

So we all went outside to smoke and make up questions, and then i wandered around for a bit more until she was ready and then helped her carry the bins of merch backstage
We were in this tiny loud room where the whole band was and it was super sweaty and gross!

But it got done and will air not this monday but next monday (Nov. 8)
you can hear the questions then and they will be posted here shortly after that.

Afterwards we all went to the Biltmore Pub and got wasted-er
and everything was cool, but I really wanted to stay the night at the hotel
so I wound up crying - esp. after the free birthday shot of fireball uggghh
This is Jason's fault for feeding me liquor and not being around to take the shot that I didn't even want!

Until the leaving part we all had a stellar time I think!

The Vaselines are swell and if they're coming to your town go see them!

Review: Bump-Its

I found a wall of Bump-Its at Bed, Bath and Beyond for 3.99 a box on clearance!

Needless to say, the ads on TV made me feel like they were something I HAD to have!

So far (Since 3 days ago-ish) I've only found use for the middle one.  The biggest one is too Snookie and the little one is useless and I don't understand.

They're surprisingly comfortable and easy to use, but it's like as soon as I put it on my head it's tangled because my hair is always such a knotted mess! 

I should also mention that I don't have to use very much hair spray with it!  The box tells me to spray medium strength hair spray, back comb, place bump it in hair, spread hair over it, and then use strong hold hair spray!  I use that cheap $1.99 stuff and don't do a finishing spray and it's all fine and well and good and ok and it doesn't move or anything. 

My head usually hurts after I take it off though, but whatever, right?

This is how I do mine hair now:

Only, as I'm sure you know, mine is a lot messy-eerr and gross, and my pony is higher

I totally love these already, and apparently if I put it on the crown of my head I look less J.Shore and more glamourous!

The biggest one will come in handy if I ever wanna do a beehive, but I don't really wanna do a beehive!

Also, girls I talked to in my class had no idea I was using it!  ! !!

I FORGOOOT TO TELLLSS YOU!

I forgot to tell you about the last time I babysat my Bro-seph like a trillioninfinity million years ago(last month-ish)


Anyways,
He ignored me and played the XBOX360 which I totally regret bringing
in fact, the only times he didn't ignore me were when I fucked up on the ZZa and when we went and rented a videogame (that I now have $$$$latefeess$$$ on) 

we did have a few neat conversations

Bro: "How many controllers do you have"
Me:  "Two, there's only two of us"
Bro:  "Oh yeah, you and Jason"
Me:  "Yeah, we don't really have any friends...."
Bro:  "That's probably because you're too much of a bully"

hurtful
but this also happened

he kicked my leg
Bro: "You're fat"
Me(trying to joke): "No, you're fat"
Bro: "No, but you're actually fat"

:'( 
tru dat brah
oh well

between the two of us we had 7(seven) Coke Zeros
it was sick

and all he did was play this game we rented that was created by Rockstar and totally not age appropriate!

Science!

We went to Science World yesterday,
My Grandma and I

and it was the Body Works exhibit and it was super cool and I learnt a lot, I guess
I liked the fetus development part especially



BUT
I don't really think it is a place for 0-5 year olds, do you?
There were like 3 crying babies and a bunch of dumb kids ruining my time.
It's not Lego or Grossology, its fucking muscles, tendons human body Body Works
DON'T BRING YOUR KIDS
It's all reading and stuff, and your kid probably can't read that well, so you fucking feel the need to read out loud so that your idiot child can try to comprehend what's happening

Other than this and a noteworthy MouthBreather I had a swell time with Grandma!
Especially after we had gone through the exhibit and no longer felt the need to be quiet out of courtesy,
since I don't really know how to whisper

Afterwards there were lots of table top brain teasers and body experiments you could try, and we had lots of fun!


Outside of Science World we walked over to where that park is and look at what was up with BC Place or whatever, and that was neat
and on the hill we saw this like 11 year old girl making out with like a 7 or 8 year old boy
But the guy coulda just been small for his age and her big for her age, you know?
but it was really weird


Then we went to Ikea and I ate meatballs and marinara and pasta and garlic bread and root beer
and Grandma had Chili and garlic toast,
and we shared a sampler dessert

theeeeen we looked around the whole store and my feet hurt really bad after and my Grandma wouldn't buy me couches...

AND we bought this root beer from Sweden!

then we hopped on over to Bed Bath und Beyond
and that place was neat!  We looked at everything available and Grandma said what she wants for Christmas and we sat in massaging chairs and mine kinda hurt but kinda felt good

In the end, I bought Jason a table lamp for 6.99 ONLY and a neat little book to write in that has (eastern) Indian designs and colours on it because thats hip for little books you can write in right now
and I bought bump its!!!!!!!!!!  they were only 3.99 and I've wanted them since before Snookie denied using them!!!!!  STOKED!

I can't remember what Grandma bought because I am too self involved


On the way home traffic was backed up real bad going towards Vancouver which made me ROFL
and we cracked open thee Root Beer from Sweden and it smelt strong like alcohol and tasted like Bacardi
and Grandma said "I don't think I should be drinking this now"
and I tried it and said I didn't want mine because it made me shiver like alcohol
and she told me to keep it and serve it to my friends and impress them... I don't know why ahahha <3

but yeah, we had a superfunawesome day like we usually do!!

I also forgot to mention that the whole time we listened to Sonic Youth Confusion is Sex/Kill Yr. Idols
and when Shaking Hell (I'll take off your dress/I'll shake off your flesh) came on she looked at the stereo and was likeee "oh my gaaawwdd" 

She's so amazing!  If you wanna come hang out with us next time message me!

YES!turdEh? UND todaaaii

GUESS WHAT!?!!?!?


Tawnia got me my first, and kind of second, birthday presseeennt!!

We were at CD Plus in Chile and its hella better than anywhere in the AB-MIS-CHI area, so we found some tight deals there!!

They even had a Vivian Girls cd there!  But that is not what Tawnia got me!
We found a cd copy of Sonic Youth Confusion is Sex/Kill Yr. Idols
and if you paid any attention to me AT ALL you'd know that's my favourite album ever(by them)

We did a bunch o other things in Chillsie too, like Tawnia had to go get steal toews at that Mark Works place and eat at the mall, which was kind of gross but still pretty good

Then back in ye olden Abbotsford we went to a 1$ store and found nothing, though I found a bunch of stuff I would need if I was Rockabilly
Then to VV which we totally shoulda done in Chilliwack since its better for some reason
AND I saw my old step dad and we did the Avoid Eye Contact At All Costs Mambo
AND I GOT AN MTV SHIRT which I've wanted forever but they try to charge you a fortune on eBay and at Old Navy they put lame flowers on them.

I love MTV Canada more than most people love their parents.
In fact, if it weren't for MTVNEWS I wouldn't be into swell bands like Jay Reatard and No Age!

NOW
I'm waiting for my sweetheartGrandma to pick me up and we're going to see the BodyWorks display thing at ScienceWorld!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'M SUPER STOKED!

THEN
Afterwards I think we are going to go to Tony Parsons' restaurant the Poor Italian
because we're in love with him

More is happening but I don't care.
My shoes are taped together and I switched to Diet Coke
Great Value chocolate isn't as gross as you think
My underneath nails are dirty and I recently plucked my eyebrows after a month of them running rampant on my eyelids

News is news, but nothing is really new

NOT "down with the sickness"

I have the grossest flu right now!
I learned in WMST that if y'all are compatable then y'all won't get sick when you give each other sloppy gross open mouth kisses.


Science is retarded I guess.

SO now I'm super fucking sick, and we're broke zeros and all we have to eat pretty much are eggs!!
AND I had to cancel my radio show :(
AND I've fallen behind in English so now I wanna drop it.
AND I've got mega paintings due for Painting II
AND I've got my first assignment due for Soc. 101
AND I'm missing MACS today!
AND We just bought a FLAT of Diet Coke but I'm too sick it hurts my throat with it's delicious bubbles

but I can't even focus my brain on books. 
I just want to watch those fat slobs walk around and breath heavily on PawnStars...

UGHHH

on the bright side I get to take the echinacea medicine that is super expensive but tastes really really good.
AND me and jason watched Total Recall yesterday morning because we were so sick to wanna do anything else!

it sucks having no money (thanks to SUS and Jim Pattison) though, because I realllaaayayy wantttt BoosterJuice :(
