101.7 FM/CIVL.CA 

wellwellwell

2010 is pretty much over for me!
         I'm getting my other two WISDOM teeth out tomorrow
So, before I forget,

I wanted to tell you my Christmas highlights!
I got great crap and 'most importantly' was around great people!

We stayed at Jason's Mom's housey for Christmas Eve
I drank paralyzers but didn't get sloppy

We started watching the Road, but, I was too sleepy, so I went to bed and read an Archie Comic (Pals'n'Gals)

The next morn I could barely get up because of my dumb teeth I had to take TWO T3s! 
Then I was floating!

Presents were great!  The best was Instant Hand Sanitizer that smells like CUPCAKES!!!!
And I got a perfume set and more rad rad rad stocking stuffers (incl. the EXACT colour nailpolish I was going to ask to borrow!)

We made breakfast too, but the oven wouldn't work so we had to make the hashbrowns on the BBQ!

Eventuallllly we went to my Grandma's housey in Chilliwack,
and that was super fun and we stayed for dinner there!
I got a blackfancy make up bag set from my Madre + Friends as well as some make-up and a fancy brush!

Grandma got me so many canvases, a record player and a snuggie!! 
At first I was like WTFSNUGGIE!  But once I got that thing home... I've never been so warm and comfy in my ENTIRE LIFEE!
I had such a super time there!  Great Grandma came too, and she had the sassiest mouth I've ever heard on an old lady!

After that on our way home to Abbotsford, we stopped at my other Grandparents house!
So I got to TRIPLE OPEN PRESENTZ!!
My grandparents got me FFXIII, some clothes and some other neat stuff
K got me a million chocolates, candles and a stuffed lion holding a coffee crisp
Shan MADE me a super awesome crocheted blanket, which I will post a pic of later!
and Dad got me Black Ops, and pillows and other stuff!!

I hung out with my sisters and the puppies for a bit too, which was nice (along with other family members)


By this time I was supersupersupersupertired and was ready to go home!
AND THAT WAS CHRISTMAS!

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!

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!

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

BIRTHDDAAAY LISST!

Heeey!
so, a few years ago I had what was the worst day of my life, you know, so far.  That day also happened to be my birthday, so since then it really hasn't been the same and my life really hasn't been the same.  The experience made me quit drinking(for the most part) and rethink my life and friendships and etc.

I don't want to write about it really on my blog, because this blog is cheap and meaningless.

I WILL HOWEVER! Tell YOU what to BUY ME for my birthday!!!!!  Yay!

Dis iz it:

NEWIPODNEWIPODNEWIPOD -- green, black or blue 16GB!!!! GUHGUHGUH

Catcher in the Rye (because I just reread a book that was called a modern day version of, and I feel like it's something I should read because it's a cultclassic type -my book was The Perks of Being a Wallflower)

There are two perfumes(OTHER THAN VANILLA FIELDS) that I like, they are: Chanel - Chance and Juicy Couture -Viva La Juicy, theres two different ones and I like the pink one!  It smells like burnt marshmellows in the nicest way possible!!!

I want lots of stuff with elephants, but I don't want dumb things that look like toys from places in the malls or wal marts, you know?  I like it when things are more unique and I feel like I'm the only one in the world who could possibly have it, even though that is probably impossible!

cool glasses frames are cool.  I really want cat eye glasses, but not the black ones.  I want them to be lie creamy coloured from oldness with sparkles or something.  or the ones that are black on the top and clear a lot.  You know, the ones that are really hipstertrendy right now, only it's okay because I am not a hipster.

MATTE NAILPOLISH

a digital camera so I have something nice to take FB pictures with!  I like the polka dot one and theres a new one called Flip that I used to like, but some youtube.com video told me it sucked and only took video!

Hook & the Daggers - This is Ballroom Thrash
Gravedigger V - All Black and Hairy



NEW HEADPHONES! Thee earbud kinds, not the big gothic industrial raverloser kind!!!

good liquid eyeliner that doesn't smudge and is easy to use!

FFXIII for XBOX - it wasn't good enough for me to buy for myself, but if you bought it for me I would play it HELLA!!!!!!!!!!!!

jeggings!

a cool vest like what ferris bueller wore in the cool scene

tattoo gift certiificates for prision quality work


There's gotta bee more stuff I "need" butttt thats all I can think of at the moment!

If you enjoy reading my blog and aren't a sex pervert you can message me and I will give you my address so you can send me nice gifts!! (please do not send me gross stuff like your excrement)

don't tell Jason that I'll give you my address, he'll be fucking choooooked!


ALSO:  You are invited to my birthday party!  We're all going to the Vaselines at the Biltmore.
don't ask me when because 1) you should know, and 2) you can look it up and not look like an idiot

Arts++Crafts(not the lame kind)

I went outties with mine Grandma yesterdayyyy and we had delicious salad lunches from that place in SevenOaks along with bubble teeeaa!! 

G had papaya, and I had chocolate!  I'm not allowed to post the two pics I took of Grandma becausee she didn't like them <3 BUUUUTT, this was the lid on my bubble tea and I was superstoked on it!

Then we went and got my supplies for painting ii, which was 254!!!!!  guuhhh!

then we went to winnerz and I got a new wallet that isn't leopard print, but is way better

It's dark purple and has blue flowers outlined allll over it and those circles are the gross insides/middles of flowers that get all over your hands and feel gross (when they're real)

So that was dope, I love new stuff!

But more than stuff, I love Grandma, and it was superfun hanging out with her!

Because we haven't really done that lately!

Then I went and got thee ole' Jase Case,

and theeeen I had to go get/drop off Tawnia at Twassen, she wanted to go to HORSESHOEBAY

but I was like "no deal"

Then me and Jason didn't do anything allllll night because he had to work in the morn.

Then this morning he was super grumps and mean!!!!!!!

and I haven't heard from him allthelivelongday

But, tonight I get to babysit my babybrother!

He is 9, and he is no baby

He wants me to bring over the xbox, but then we don't hang out,

he plays games

and doesn't share!!!

Last Week Sucked

I had like a billion (2) assignments due!

One was a presentation in my Simpson's course.  It had to be 25-30 minutes long, I think mine was just under or just over 20.  But that wasn't the only way I came up short, I feel the presentation had lots of holes, and could have used more work.  Also, the PowerPoint sucked, and I didn't take my eyes off the paper the whole time.

But it's done with, and I don't care as long as I get like a B, which I probably/hopefully will!
So that's what I did on Wednes.

FRIDAY, I had to have a 3x3 foot painting of a celebrity of my choosing done.  I did Tony Parsons.  Being busy all week with the presentation for Darren's class, I had to hella rush on the painting. I started that Thursday afternoon (after my class) around 2, and finished (after a couple breaks) around 1:35 AM!
guuh!

It was a rough deal, so this weekend I'm "takin 'er easy" before getting balls deep into finishing the semester!

ALSO!  It's 7-11 day today, and I celebrated by going and getting 4 of those fucking tiny slurpees for Jason and me and having them spill all the fuck over my front-seat.
I continued this celebration by getting the trunk of my car to try to slam on my shoulder, and by having the passenger door slam on my leg because neither of these things stay open on their own!! 

Other than this all I've done this weekend is hang out with my pal, Grandma, and watch Kenny vs Spenny. 

LG!

South Park

Jason won't fucking stop quoting this!!

He'll do the face and everything!  Even if I'm mega-grumpy!

He says that this is the best thing he's ever seen on South Park, I guess he needs to watch Prehistoric Ice Man again, hey!?

"But you love your Simpsons course!"

That gender/Simpsons project I've been half thinking of/working on for awhile died!

Well, I thought it was due on the 23, but I was fucking wrong! 
It was supposed to be due today... BUT, last night I e-mailed my proff, Darren saying this:

Hey Darren,


I thought I was presenting on the 23rd, which is of course, not true!

So I've been working all week trying to get this presentation done, but

the two readings (which are not a part of the course) I've found

impossible to relate. I'm still going to keep working so I'll

technically have something to present tomorrow, but I won't be

confident in it AT ALL!

I was hoping maybe to save myself the embarrassment of presenting

something I think is total garbage and do Social Class or Identity

(that looked like it was still open).

I was using Chris Turner's book Planet Simpson - the chapter titled

Lisa Lionheart and Lana F. Rakow's essay "Feminist Approaches to

Popular Culture: Giving Patriarchy Its Due." Her essay seemed like a

good source after scouring the internet looking for something I thought

was valid, but the more I try to relate the two the more I feel like a

total idiot...

So could I please switch topics? I'm sorry I am bringing this up so

late

-Alicia.

I felt like a total knob, I don't usually do this with school.  After sending this and re-reading the course outline, I realized I had really done this project COMPLETLY WRONG!!!  I was supposed to use one COURSE reading and one other theorist and compare, or whatever.  I used two of my own choosing, and then found I couldn't even fucking relate the two together! 
SO, after trying to make it work, trying to make it work, refreshing and refreshing and refreshing myUFV e-mail, I started crying, pathetically! 

Jason walked into the room as I was looking for a course to take Jul/Aug so I could just withdraw if Darren said "no."

He didn't though! Cause he's super cool, and probably was like "whoooooa, she did this so wrong"
After spilling my heart's contents and admitting I felt like an idiot he said

Hi Alicia,
July 7th, Identity. It's yours.

darren

Awesome!

HBO BROS

Jason and my own self just finished watching all of HBO's Spartacus!  There were only like 12 or 13 eps. but they were so good!

The first few episodes are sweet, but then after like 4 or something some of the characters get FUCKED, like, in the head, you know!? 
It's a little 300-y, and the blood is super-duper fake, and sometimes it isn't historically accurate (according to reviewers on IMDB) but its a great show, especially if you're into stuff like that! 

I don't wanna summarize the whole show, so guess who will (for the most part) for me, Wikipedia!  The only thing you don't get from there is the ba-zillions of times you get to see Lucy Lawless' boobies!  You get to see other womens too, and some full-frontal male N, but nothing beats Xena, riiiight!?

Unfortunetly, I get to be super disapointed BECAUSE the Spartacus dude got like blood-cancer or something shitty, and can't go on to do the second season (yet?).  BUT, I guess until then we have to make due with the Spartacus pre-quel HBO is making in the meantime, whenever that airs!

Whatever though, this show is totally dope so you should stop watching United States of Tara and get caught up with your ole' pal Spartacus!

WE'RE THE WORST!

Jason and my bad self kind-of-recently discovered we have this song stuck in our heads super-often :(




Isn't that super terrible?  Just the chorus though, does that make it better?

heartzz

I forgot to tell you!

As of today Jason and myself have been together for 3 years!!!!
Isn't that super dope!?  We're super stoked on each other still, which is even more amazing and nice!

I always assumed that once you were together for a hella long time you hated each other, or does that not happen until we are married? 

So today was pretty dope, we had a humungous breakfast for lunch and Stephen Harper paid me that money he owed me (almost 1000 bones!) and we went and got my BlackBerry at stupid SevenOaks! 

ANNNNNND we went to Wal Mart and got a video game (UFC 2010) and the movie, Dead Snow.  But I didn't read the labels and Dead Snow isn't in English, so I don't wanna own it, I'll just borrow it from Tawnia and return my copy. 

I went and got provisions at Safeway - because they have the muffins Jason likeys!  and I came home and we ate delicious wedge fries, I had a samosa and Jason had a crap-load of sausage rolls.  Then we took turns defeating each other in UFC, I was Frank Mir, Jason was a number of characters incl. Kimbo, and that really ugly-faced, scar-back guy!

Then we laid in bed together and played cell phone games!!!

We're gonna go out-out tomorrow hopefully, but Jason has to work early tomorrow so we couldn't really do anything for reals!

"HEY, BBM ME"

Needless to say I just got a BlackBerry Curve!  It's purple, which is my favourite colour in the entire world, which already makes it the best phone ever!

Jason just went through this thing where he hated his phone because you couldn't load your own song as a ringtone (with the LG Rumour) annndd gueesss what my phone can do?!  BURRRN!

Now, it is just a matter of finding the perfect ringtone that celebrates my own personal unique flair and love for life.  And trying to figure out if I am too old to cover the rubber case/protector with Simpsons stickers I found...

Not to mention the billions of apps there probably are for me to enjoy and consume!

It took me awhile to figure out what was up, but I think after about a week I'll be pro, manuals can suck it, they're so borrring!

I'll tell you more about it when I learn more :)

if this is the ultimate truth/it had to come out sooner or later

So, for the longest time now (under a month) my life has been total shit - while driving.  My beautiful cassette adapter that I connect my stereo and iPod together with has broken.

My nice friend bought me a new one, but it got stuck in where the e-brake is and I tried to slam it down anyways and the stick that goes into my iPod got all mangled and sad.

Now all I have up in my car is:  one of the cassettes of the American Graffiti soundtrack, Led Zeppelin IV, an unfinished Megadeth tape my boyfriend made, an unfinished tape I made a long time ago of music I don't like anymore (like the Transplants) and 2 Dead Milkmen tapes (Soul Rotation and Bucky Fellini).

Needless to say, the only tape(s) I can listen to on a daily basis are the Dead Milkmen ones.  Which is kind of great, because I really forgot how amazing they are (especially Soul Rotation)! 

The Dead Milkmen are the greatest, most-original punk band of all time!  So put down Anarchy in the U.K. and go get yourself Big Lizard in My Backyard
