I ate a bun for breakfast

I felt like eating something bland :p

So, yesterday I tried on the white short-sleeved shirt I got from the Zellers clearance rack. It made me feel like Chrissie Hynde in the video for 'Brass in Pocket' ;)

And last night my mom traded pillows with me because hers' was uncomfortable. I didn't even TRY my pillow, and now I want it back. Hers' is so uncomfortable. I was trying to get comfortable, even when I was sitting with the pillow between me and the wall while reading, and it was just awful. So I switched to my old, slightly broken up ObusForm pillow. I want my pillow back, dammit.

Mom got me up at 8 to tell me that I need to be up and dressed in case the guy comes to install one of the doors. I get dressed, I go upstairs, and the TV is on FULL-BLAST on PBS. Grrr. I love PBS, but not that loudly.

Ugh, my head hurts. But that may be from loud music, loud PBS and no water. I forgot to drink some water this morning.

Whoa, it got lighter outside.

So, no youth group tomorrow, but in the e-mail Stephen sent, he suggested that we all go to the potluck and NOT hang around the loft and instead sit at one of the tables and socialize, because we might get a new youth adviser that way. WHY isn't Firefox set to Canadian English when I set it over and over to Canadian English?!?!

She thinks she's soooooo clever.

So, I went to Value Village yesterday and got a bunch of nice skirts, including three everyday skirts that can go in the wash with t-shirts and such. Two of those everyday skirts are kinda Pretty in Pink-ish, and they're both made by the same company, lol. They're both long skirts, one is yellowy and bluey, the other is mainly red. The third skirt is a short navy skirt with some white print thing on it. The nicer skirts I got were a pink wraparound skirt, a green, orange and black plaid skirt and a black and white summery skirt with a black ribbon sewn on. I also got a cute little black cardigan and a pea-green fooler shirt.

And then today I went to Zellers, and there were clearance racks out front, so I got three shirts - one brown, one blue and white and one white - and a cami (which MOM picked out, but I'll get to that later).

Here's the catch:

Mom and I went into Zellers to catch up with Dad, and she said to me, "You know how you're paying for the shirts?" I was going to suggest that I'd pay, and then she says...

"By going to the leadership course at church."

*Bangs head against wall* I KNEW IT!!!!!

She says that it's $10 for the course because I'm an adherent, and she doesn't have to pay because she's a member. I don't know if she's doing this stupid course or not. Nor do I know how long this stupid course is. And I looked at the church newsletter online, and it's described as a 'spiritual leadership course' for 'spiritual leaders and potential leaders'. 1) I am not a church minister, and 2) I don't plan on being a church minister (bit of a Ferris Bueller reference there ;P). Mom says she's paying for me to go, but still....!$#$!#@# She is such a bitch sometimes. I'll go to this stupid course if she absolutely WANTS me to, but as soon as I get home, I'm blasting some Green Day. Grrr.

Maybe I should fake an illness. Or maybe I can talk my way out of going. Or maybe I can casually schedule a dentist appointment on that day. Wait, I wonder if my appointment at Dr. G's (the dental surgeon who's going to put my fake tooth in) is on that day? *crosses fingers*

I'm just not into all that cutesy leadership shit. All that 'fall backwards and let the person behind you catch you' shit. It's pointless. AND tasteless. And this stupid course is all because of our 'new settled minister'. Gawd. I hope this minister isn't weird.

I think I'm going to ask Dad if he can help me replaces the batteries in my watches. That way I can keep track of time during days of bullshit.

Maybe I'll sign up for the sushi-making course. Or tai chi. Maybe I can convince Mom that tai chi would be better in the long run than some stupid spiritual leadership course (which doesn't sound non-minister friendly ANYWAY).

I have also been trying to figure out how to change the template on Word '07, because my dad says there's a resume template. I'll have to ask him.

Ah, Smokey Robinson. I love this guy. And YouTube.

I also need to install my camera software. And see about getting my computer's power switch looked at.

ETA: oh yeah, I decided to frog my novelty yarn sunglasses case and instead make a scarf with the same two yarns.
