To me. :)

There's a lot said about the quality of messages that girls get on here: why we don't answer and why we seem so jaded. I submit this as evidence to the court:

So I was looking at your profile, and I really like your blonde hair. I really do think blonde complements blue eyes wonderously! That being said, I was just wondering how tight your vagina was, and if anything's been in there recently.

It's been about 4-5 days since I cleared the 3 person list on that quiver thing. It has yet to be refilled. So now I'm wondering, exactly what's the point of it?

Anyone actually getting use out of Quiver? Anyone else having the same problem I'm having of not getting new people?

Up early today to head down to sign up for a job agency. They told me yesterday it would take about an hour and a half, because they have to test my aptitudes and skills.

I'm a night owl. This is way too early to try to test me. I'm barely able to drink a hot beverage in the morning without hurting myself.

Oh well. Here I go....

So I just moved to Ottawa. Not a huge move, since I'm just coming from Kingston, but still... I know very *very* few people here, so it's a bit intimidating. I don't know where anything is or how to get to it. The bus system is baffling, although people keep telling me it rocks. It's all giving me a bit of a headache.

But anyway. I'm here and I'm staying, at least for the next year.

So here's the point of this journal post: Anyone out there want to be my new Ottawa friend? I need to meet people and get some new friends here in Ottawa, or I'm gonna get bored silly soon enough.

I swear, I'm a friendly sort of person and could probably get some references for you if you're really worried.

Also, I can bake yummy cookies. ...C'mon! Cookies!

So I saw the new Indiana Jones movie. Anybody else get halfway through and start to wonder when Mulder and Scully were going to show up?

Or maybe Moose and Squirrel... What was up with Cate Blanchett's accent?

So I was driving in NY state a couple weeks ago and got pulled over for speeding. This was the first time I'd ever been pulled over and I was a bit confused why *I* was being pulled over when other cars with NY plates were flying past me. But whatever.

I got a ticket thing. That I had to send back in and then wait for a verdict. New to me. Up here in Canada, when we get a speeding ticket, it says how much we owe and that's that.

They sent it back. $305 US. Bit of a shocker. I wasn't expecting it to be that much. I wasn't speed racing or anything. I was passing some people, going about 10 miles over the limit. Here, they don't even bother giving tickets for that, and if they do, it's a $90 "we don't like your face" ticket.

But here's the reason for the post. I can't afford to pay the ticket, not right now, not even if I sold a lung. So, all you NY'ers out there... Can I get away with paying the ticket *later*, and still be cool? Can I pay part of it and then the rest later? Can I not pay at all? Or am I completely screwed?

Thanks muchly.

I'm incredibly tired of being the "perfect except for the timing" girl. I get this a lot. So much so, that it's become a trend.

"I like you, but this isn't the right time. I have to deal with other less nice and more demanding things now, things that can't wait, but you can wait, right? So, how about I set you up on this high shelf for now. I don't know when or if I'll be back, but I certainly hope you'll still be there, because I like you, but I just don't have the time for you now."

Which wouldn't be so bad, if we met and it was just a "sigh, bad timing" thing. But no. It goes for a few weeks, maybe a month, and they say this, and I'm just like... Um... Why didn't you just say that instead of leading me on and wasting my time?

Is this just some weird way of ditching me, or do I really have a talent for finding the guys who are moving or in the middle of family messes or taking their time dumping girlfriends?

If only they didn't all look normal on the outside. People ought to have their hang-ups stapled to their foreheads.

So I had an adventure today. Two actually.

My car got frozen in to my driveway due to the lovely weather we've had. It's a Yaris, a tiny little car, and while it's got heart, it just didn't have the soul to get unstuck. My upstairs neighbour, an Acadian from New Brunswick (who might actually be related to me through my mother's mother's mother), offered to pull me out with his truck. And after a long fight, it worked! My hero.

And THEN, later today, I come home and somehow, the small lock on my door handle, the one NO ONE has a KEY for, got locked and I'm stuck out of my apartment, with no way in. I go up and ask to use his phone because my phone is in the apartment and my tools, which I might use to get my door off, are also in my apartment. And it's 11 o'clock at night. Basically, I'm screwed.

After some long talk with my landlords, who send me to the emergency help phone line (which leads me to a goddamn answering service), I hang up and express my frustration to my neighbour, including the part about my tools being IN my apartment and therefor useless to get my door off.

He says, "The pins are on the OUTSIDE of the door?"

Yes, I answer. My door is a security nightmare.

He says, "Oh, cool. I'll get my tools."

After a long fight with the door, basically taking out every pin, screw, fastener, whatever that's on the door, it's open, and then, hero that he is, he puts my door back together and hangs it back up, good as new.

And he, ladies and gentlemen, is my hero of the day. I'll even say he's my hero of the year.

I should bake him some cookies or something.

So, I did an enemy search, just for shits and giggles. Or, as it turned out, shits and weirded-outs.

Here's a tiny quote from my top enemy within 100 miles of myself:

"Any american woman here is for fuck. Seeing someone? You lie, you fuck. I will have you. I'm here for find woman who like fuck. My wife pregnant, so I need other woman. I like to be the boss, I like obedience. Most women don't know when to quiet time..."

I tell you, he sounds like a real charmer. I can't imagine why he isn't my top match instead of enemy.

Anybody else find any notable Prince/Princess Charmings in their enemy list?
