ONE WEEK OFF!!
oh ya baby! so good, have one week off and gonna chillax, and meet up with those i've neglected for the past two months :D
anyhoo, FINISHED READING HARRY POTTER!! bloody good. took a surprisingly little amount of time for me to finish that, considering that i was working at the same time~4 days! *beams* and not a full day of reading either....hmmm could be cuz of the big font size but we'll not pay attention to those irrelevant details.
SO, wonder if i should disclose who DIES....nah, or maybe...nah. you'll have to read about 500 pages b4 you get there tho so if you get tired along the way, come ask me for directions

CONCERT FOR TORONTO
Finally updating after a month of not doing so. I could ramble on about work but im not going to...instead, let's talk about the concert that I went to tonite at the Skydome and bitch about....the people
1) Well OK so it's not really their fault but I felt as if the ushers/security personel/staff were ALWAYS picking on us (Roberta, Yaser and Me) telling us to "keep moving; no standing in the/this aisle; you have to go back to your seats; I've told you twice already to move". Like seriously, WTF?! It's cuz we're oriental isnt it?? ISN'T IT!?! bastards didnt see them trying to move the big guys standing near the railing...that or everyone all together. Blah double standard. (and i SWEAR they were letting ppl into A section who didnt have the tickets, or mebbe Im just bitter)
2) The fucking blonde bitch who ratted us out to the usher! Damn Bi-atch. WTF was her problem?? So we had seats in section C, after standing up for the sets, we went to look for seats in section B that didn't look like they were EVER occupied. thats just obvious...anyways, damn her and her friends sitting in the row behind us. she came back with an usher and mumbled soemthing. moments later, he comes up to us "I need to check your tickets". We leave and see her high five her friends.
my problem is: WHAT THE FUCK DID WE DO TO YOU?? MIND YOUR OWN GODDAMN BUSINESS! (see at first when i passed by after the fact, i noticed that a mother and her daughter were sitting there so i was like..oh ok so i guess there WERE legit occupants, then later rob and yaser told me there never was. So prolly the mom and daughter were also seat hopping like us). FREAKN hell i was so ready to go tell her off too, if only id known earlier. Some people have problems, they need to control their own dam bitchiness and stop spreading it to others
3) Before the concert, EDGE 102.1FM was there and OLP was supposed to make an appearance at the booth for a live-to-air interview. so we're all standing there waiting. common sense, if you MOVE OUT OF THE LINE...youre OUT OF THE LINE and you forfeit your space. right?? thats what we thought anyways. so, this girl standing in front of me gets out, so i move in (duh), she has he friends save her a space..and im like ya ok fine if she comes back then she can stand next to me, behind...yada yada. she comes back, sorta nudges me aside and AFTERWARDS says "excuse me". IM KICKING MYSELF NOW wondering WHY IN HELL'S NAME I DIDNT SCREAM AT HER. excuse me?? youre supposed to say that BEFORE you try to nudge me aside. you can stand BEHIND me cuz you left. granted it was just a mob scene but still, if you move you lose. the fuck? should have said somthing instead of being the timid chinese girl that you can push around. bloody hell...
THE BIG ONE
we left the concert when THE TRAGICALLY HIP came on cuz well, we're not fans. deciding to stop by muchmusic to check out the set and to find my friend who works there, we stumble upon....*OLP's sound check*. oh ya baby! we were pysched. course we stayed, tried to snap a few pix with various staff members in the way. until finally, they were just talking to Bradford...interview i guess, not sure if it was taped to be played tmr night. anyways, these girls further away from us kept yelling out Raine's name and him being as nice as he is, finally went to them for autographs and pix. he was walking away until WE started calling his name, so he came too...except he went to these girls standing beside us first. with our camera's poised, we figured "eh, he'll come to us next so we'll not take a pic of him just as yet" FREAKN HELL! as soon as he was done with them he ran away!! ya OK i understand that cuz there are so many of us around he'll never finish with the fans (and new one's'll come in to fill the space). my distress lies in the fact that he WAS SO CLOSE!!! and i could have had an obstruction-free picture of him but i DIDNT SNAP ONE cuz i was deluded into thinking that "we'll be next and we'll then be in a pic WITH him". damn. GREED is what got us in this position. now I proly just have a pic of them with Bradford's backside taking up most of the picture. ah well. I woulda been happy had Raine NOT come to the audience at all....then it's like "wow, thats as close as we'll ever be" but no, we could have been SO MUCH CLOSER!!!! ah blastedness!
*He's pretty*
plus, they played a good set. and Avril following their act....was not a wise move. So, next OLP concert - we are there. and it's ground floor, section A or nothing. that's right, all or nothing...i really cant stand those security guards chasing us around again. thats enough outta that
~So cuz we were so close (but no cigar), we're not going to the red carpet tmr at the MMVA's. no. that'll just be depressing...so that's why people get so star crazy. youll never know unless youve been there. and sadly, we've been there.
Moving on to more positive things:
The concert was very good actually. Favs include OLP, Barenaked ladies (if only cuz they worked the crowd very well), Sarah Mcloughlin, Jane Arden. Those are the ones that stood out for me, Avril also stood out but only cuz we realized she cant sing. there was SO much echo, and a considerable amount of screeching on her part. no, cant say she has a very good singing voice, if there is one at all.
That's it for now...more.........whenever
