Warning: This is a very long entry.

Today is Easter Monday. I wish I worked for the government so I could have had the day off, but alas I was working-girl today. That�s alright: I could always use the extra $$$. I went home and it was pretty good. Visited the family and a couple of friends and got no homework done. But I did finally see The Virgin Suicides. That was a wonderful movie. Out of all of my friends, I wanted to see it the most, but of course I was the last one to see it. My mom bought a cake to celebrate Easter/my b-day. I�m all caked out. =)

Being at home also gave me the chance to watch some hockey. That�s another way to not do homework. My Avs beat the family�s �Nucks. My mom threatened to spank me if I kept cheering for the wrong team. Too bad for her, she�s not fast enough to catch me. =P

Hee hee, on the way home for the weekend, I was stuck in the holiday rush. There was nothing good on the radio so I just put my finger on the tune button to see what I could find. I managed to catch an island TV channel, so I listened to The Price is Right. (Did you know that Plumtree was in the audience on that show a while back?) I�m pretty good at the show (even with the exchange rate), I should go and win me something. I predicted that the woman spinning the wheel was going to get 35 cents! And they had the showcase of my dreams!!! There was a wooden classic-style jukebox (*drool*), a living room set, a Berber rug and.......not one, but TWO motor scooters!!! Oh my gawd. The woman bid $9000-something. I said $13 000. It ended up being $13 000-something. *I* should have that showcase. But my favourite part of the show was when an army guy from Saganaw (cuz you�re the grea-ee-a-ay-ee-a-ay-ee-a-ay-ee-a-eatest won a trip to Toronto. Wow, what an exotic trip...and so *far* away from where he lives! =P

I just dropped off my best friend at the airport. She has to go back to London to testify at a court case. The funny thing is, the defence wants her to testify but the info she has will her the man more than help him. She�ll be back in a few days, hopefully. Her flight leaves in less than an hour. She�s not looking forward to flying by herself. A fan of flying she is not.

Oh, but I found out some interesting information from her. There�s this girl who we used to be friends with, I�ll call her OH. We were friends with her back in high school until there was a weird falling-out/division of friendship. Anyway, I just found out from best bud (BB from now on) that a friend of ours told BB that the last time OH and I were together in the same group, she freaked out. We can�t believe that after about 6 years, she still would be acting like this. I try to be civil to her. I say �hi� to her, but that�s about it. Hmm...the last time we were in the same group, it was at the live recording of Radiosonic at Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver. Geez, I had just as much right being there than her, maybe even more so. My roommate was going (who�s good friends with OH), my other best friend from the island came over so I had to see her, and I�m a rabid Radiosonic fan who�s a borderline David Wisdom stalker. =P

Anyway, I don�t understand why she freaked out then. I would understand about the Beck concert. It was the summer before my roommate and I moved in together and the two of them were going to the Beck concert (though I didn�t know until I was there). Since I was there alone, I tagged along and stood with them, but it wasn�t like I was standing beside her, my future roomie and roomie�s brother were between us. Anyway, I would understand her freaking out about that more than the Radiosonic day. Geez, there was a group of us then even. BB thinks she�s quite petty for still acting this way. I agree. But I guess I have revealed my own pettiness by putting this thing in my diary.
