I was going to post things night before last, but the Internet
apparently decided that was a bad idea and booted me sometime during
LOST, lol. So if this is a wee bit all over the fucking place, sorry!

Next week is another spirit week thingie at work. I don't know what the
Recognition & Contest Committee is smoking but they're certainly
busy lately, lol. Anyway, there's the standard PJ day, a funky sneaker
day, a Twins day (Christine will be my very DeVito/Schwarzenegger
twin), a dream profession hat day (I will wear my Disney Princess hat,
lol), and a wannabe movie/rock star day. The latter should prove most
interesting, as Cass suggested that she, Christine and I go as Green
Day, and we are. Hee. None of us can pull off authentic hair so we're
just going to do appropriate outfits and then use liberal amounts of
green hairspray on all of us. They've all had green hair at some point,
lol.

The post title is from a positive feedback I got on a GD board that had
me literally giggling. Usually, my fb is for having uploaded something,
answered a question, or b/c they like my avatar (*smooches* to linzeestyle for that one). I don't know this particular
poster, and it's quite obvious that s/he doesn't know me either LOL!
Either that, or s/he saw my brief explanation for my tattoo as that I
write romance and erotica, or relatedly, stumbled across my fanfic.
Because those are the only reasons *I* can think of that could possibly
make anyone in their right mind consider ME to be hardcore. ROTFL!

I finally made a dentist appt b/c I woke up this morning around 4 am in
excruciating pain. I guess I missed something when I brushed my teeth
or w/e. Unfortunately, said appt is not until Wed morning and since it
is my very first visit to a new dentist, he's unlikely to actually fill
the cavity at that point so I'll need a follow-up visit. Bah. Yes, I
realize I'm an idiot and that taking great care *now* is oh so closing
the barn door after the horse has run off, but I hate dentists. And I
hate new medical people. It seems like a nice office, though, and the
receptionist was extremely nice. So in the meantime, I just need to
keep my mouth extra extra extra clean and be careful about what I eat.
I wish my old dentist had listened to me and just yanked the fucker
after my wisdom teeth came out. It's the very, very back bottom molar
and I've had trouble keeping it clean since it grew in in the first
place, b/c my jaw is small and I have too many damn teeth already. But
no, instead it has like half a dozen different fillings in it. Jeez.

My parents are loving Ghost Whisperer. This is weird, b/c my dad hates
anything paranormal and my mom's not generally too keen either. I
watched the 2nd ep tonight and despite myself, I liked it too. Although
I do actually like Jennifer Love Hewitt. I am, however, still intensely
pissed off that it replaced Joan, and I still want to beat some sense
into Leslie Moonves. I do not like that man, lol.

Mel, I believe you're the Eddie Izzard fan? I happened to come across this amusing article from Vanity Fair on him, with a, er, lovely photo. Hee.

(Apologies for the fucked up formatting. LJ does not like it when I edit!)

Yeah, I did forget something, lol. Possibly on purpose? ;-) Nah, I'm not particularly embarrassed to admit that I joined the official online Green Day fan club, aka the Idiot Club, lol. *shrug* It was twenty bucks and there are fun behind-the-scenes videos, which I am a sucker for. LOL one of the funniest things is seeing the freaking store's worth of hair products on a table in the dressing room in one of those. Just too funny! But the club site also has a message board (the first "rank" you get on the message board is "Registered Idiot"), which I hadn't anticipated doing much of anything with since I like GDA where I already post, but it so happens that I stumbled across an "Over 30" thread. There are quite a few of us who are like 30 to 45 plus a few older than that even. And there are two other women, one even a fellow Canadian, who are making the same journey I am, i.e., rebuilding their lives after being kicked in the teeth in their 20s and finding music to be a huge part of that process. It's just really, really cool to have found that, especially so unexpectedly. Although it's too bad that the IC launched on Labour Day, because there are a handful of posters there who went to the Montreal concert so I could have met more people. I haven't heard from i'marebel since I steered her through the métro, lol - her one post on the GDA board was about finding a concert buddy and having accomplished that mission, she's off back to her life, I guess. Oh well, we had fun anyway!

The other thing the IC has that's fairly worthwhile is ticket lotteries for almost every show, and to my complete shock, Canadians are actually eligible to win. It's just a single Gen Admission ticket, no frills and you're on your own to get there, but they do 4 lotteries per concert for just IC members so if you were stuck without a ticket to something, the odds aren't too horrific. It's a very cool idea imo. :-)
