then, on thursday, marty convinced me to go to her workplace [massage/chiropractic/hypnosis clinic] to try and get a job as a hypnosis volunteer. well, there wasn't much convincing involved since money was included. and i like money. i just don't have much [currently: $3]. so i went, but first i participated in a search for marty with my mom because we she was nowhere to be found. we searched for her all throughout the GTA, and then we finally found her. marty and i went to promenade a couple hours before the hypnosis thingy and i bought pink/red hair dye for my tips. i'm so excited.. it's temporary because i want to see whether it looks good first, so i'll apply it soon. :D excitement all around. then, after walking aimlessly around the mall, [and marty treating me to food :) i lub u martushka], we walked to the hypnosis clinic in the rain. meh. once we got in, i met the doctor, and he said that if he could hypnotize me, i could get paid $10/hour for conferences. yay. he hypnotized me, and it wasn't like "ooooo, you're getting sleepy, when i snap my fingers you're going to act like a chicken" it was all about being relaxed. and i felt really relaxed, sort of like yoga, where people fell asleep :P good times. he talked about a lot of interesting things like ESP, dreams, deja vu, mind power. it was really cool.

he said your subconcious knows about things before they happen. so when you get deja vu, it's your subconcious kicking in because it knew this would happen before it did. he said you could practice to make your concious more receptive to your subconcious so you could learn to do that often. it was soooo cool. and he said many things about how your subconcious was always ignored, so during hypnosis, he could talk to your subconcious, which is how you really feel. he said there was a possibility that he could make me grow taller using hypnosis, but i can't help being skeptical about it. then, when it was over, he bought us drinks, which was very nice of him. :)

then the plan was to go to marty's house to sleep over, but i couldn't, so marty came to my house instead. we had tons of fun, and we stayed up until 6 in the morning and we saw the sunrise. :D it was fun, but then it was so light it was weird going to sleep. then when we woke up [very late], we made plans to go see how to deal with ashley and kate. we saw the matinee viewing [so it'd be cheaper], which brings me to my next point.

when i went swiss chalet, the lady gave me the kid's menu and some crayons. now, don't get me wrong, i wanted the crayons, but c'mon on!!! then, i go to see legally blonde: red, white, and blonde, and i wanted a child ticket. the girl asked me how old i was, and i lied and said i was 13. so then, she asks me for ID. what kind of ID am i supposed to have to prove that i'm 13?!!?!? i mean, seriously!! jesus.

back to my original story, we went to the 4:10 viewing. and we came early because it was the first day, so the theatre would be packed, right? wrong. there was like, no one there. but meh. we got seats and food, and watched the movie and marty and i sang along to all the songs :P. the movie was good, it wasn't the best movie i've ever seen. maybe i expected too much, but it seemed like they clouded the movie with too many conflicts so they couldn't really concentrate on a few. it was weird, but a good movie. considering summer movies have been extremely sucky lately, this has been the best one. summer movies to look forward to: johnny english, uptown girls, freaky friday. better be good... or we're going to the glue factory!!! :D haha.

after how to deal, ashley, marta, and kate came back to my house and we ate, played mario kart, and ate.. while being forced to listen to music that kate picked. grrr... then, we went to the new elementary school/community center/catholic school park. god, that park is crowded. it isn't as fun as other parks. so we went to bantry park. and it was pretty late, and there was this weird guy sitting there all alone. which was kind of scary. but meh. then, we talked in russian/bulgarian and dropped kate off at home. ashley and marta came back to my house where we listened to old o-town songs, sang along, and looked at old teeny-bopper magazines. more fun than it seems :) then ashley left and marta suggested i go over to sleep at her house. a double-sleepover?!?!? it can't be!!! but it is! haha. so i went over and we played ms. pac-man, which is extremely addictive. haha. very fun. but i suck. meh, i'm over it. we stayed up until 6AM again, and had tons of fun. it was also a great day to realise that i caught yussef's cold. thanks again yussef! :D so i was a bit sick, but what are you going to do? marty and i ate tons of healthy yummy food at night, it was good :)

when we woke up, saturday, we planned to go to the park to play grounders with ash, harry, and yussef. but they went to the driving range for about an hour, so we waited while a weird guy sat on the bleachers. and we pretended we were mandy moore and spun around :D i lub u marty. hee hee. we also went to the convience store because i actually thought that the chinese man could give me a kleenex. he told me to buy a pack. thank you chinese man! then, they finally came. haha. and we played grounders, and at my turn [thank god], we started talking about camp and then yussef proceded to list his top 20. haha.

as we were walking back to marta's house, we found a little dog [i'm going to call it a puppy.. awww], so we found a puppy on the sidewalk, and we went to find its owner. this one old lady told us she knew it belonged to this one guy and that he always let it out of the house without a leash. awwww.. poor little puppy. so we came up to the door. it was a fat paki guy.

us: "umm.. is this your dog?"
him: "ya"
us: "we found him at hunter's point drive"
him: [to dog] "get in"
yussef: "what's his name?"
him: "fa-la-fi" [which we later realised was fluffy]
us: "well, goodbye."
him: "thanks."

WOW he sure was excited to have his dog back. i could swear he was going to pee. ugh, ungrateful jerk. turns out, he just lets the dog walk around and almost get hit by cars. jesus. he doesn't deserve that puppy.

when we returned to marta's, we decided to go out for ice cream, but then turned ice cream into Montana's. which is just as good. we walked to montana's and ate nachos [mmmmmm... so good] and mile-high mud pie. mmmm... it was really yummy. and cheap. but my wallet isn't very happy either way. then we walked to yussef's house. he has a gecko, which is soooo cute. awww, i held it. it's a cutie. its name is albert. then, we watched Brian Fellow's Safari Planet, which may be one of the funniest things i've ever seen. download episodes, or watch SNL. or both :P we decided there, to have a movie night every tuesday. :D i'm very excited.

on monday, i went to my grandma's house. which wasn't too bad. i got to go to the library and read some magazines that i can't afford to purchase. some of which have pics of chad. [mmmmmm]. in un-related news, i got a guitar. but it's more like a guitar that just came out of another guitar's womb. so it's like a baby guitar. my dad likes to call it a student guitar. but whatever, i'm grateful and i won't be a brat. so i'm going to learn how to play. and i've decided to make a scrapbook because all these memories need to be put somewhere. :D very exciting.

last thing, i promise. good charlotte is such a freakin good band!!! and joel madden is very hot. and here are some of their very good songs [which should be downloaded]:

girls and boys
the anthem
festival song
little things
the motivation proclamation
lifestyles of the rich and famous

i lied about the last thing. i added a tag board. which you've probably noticed, unless you're blind. so please enjoy, and post your thoughts. or a hello! :)

-sweetvlady

me: "but im 2 scared 2 call him. do u think i shud?"
marta: "hmm i say wait 20 minutes and then call. and u can make up an excuse...be like o im going out and my answering machine is broken so i just wanted to inquire as to whether or not i got the job. and then, so ur not lying, smash ur answering machine against the wall and step outside of ur house"

hahahahhahahahhahahaha.. that's so absolutely hilarious :) martushka is very funny. :)

next, i called and apparantely he was busy. so i asked the girl who worked there to tell him that i called and to please call me back. he never did. grrrr.. but a few minutes before closing, i called him again. and i asked him whether or not i got the job.

"ummm.. we decided to go in another direction. your interview was fine and you were very polite, but we had a better candidate so we decided to go in another direction. take care."

uuggghhh.. it kind of upset me. but what are you gonna do? there are two things that upset me the most.
1. i wasted three weeks applying for that stupid job, they could've told me earlier that they had candidates with more experience or whatever and that it wasn't likely that i would be hired. i could've applied elsewhere. 2. my mom and i got into a fight:

dad: "so, vlada, are you going to apply to another job?"
me: "what's the point? mama's still going to come and sit there during the interview."
mom: don't remember what mom said
me: "ok, whatever, i'm over it. you're not going to apologize anyway."
mom: "i'm supposed to apologize?"
me: "ohhhh.. i'm supposed to apologize.. ok. i'm sorry i didn't get the job!!!"
mom: "go away, i don't want to see you anymore."

but, whatever, like i said, there's no point fighting with my mom. she'll never apologize, no matter how wrong she is. so meh. i'm over it. that night i stayed up until 5:30 doing crap and i didn't even see the sunrise!!! ugh.. nothing goes right. stupid houses in the way. but i did write a poem. and here it is:

I Want to be That Girl

I want to be that girl.
That wakes up early.
And wears flip-flops.
And her hair is light brown.
And it’s just there.
But it still looks nice.
And I want to be that girl.
And she leans against the doorway.
The doorway to her backyard.
But it might as well be heaven.
Because now the sun’s rising.
And she runs out onto the grass.
And she’s wearing a grey tank top.
And white shorts.
And I want to be that girl.
And she spins in circles.
And the sky is orange.
And she spins and waves her arms in the air.
And she laughs.
And I want to be that girl.

so there it is :) then, on saturday chad michael murray [CMM] had a live chat :) if you don't know who chad is.. then you're obviously extremely deprived. here is a pic of him to swoon over. [click on the word pic] just because he's that swoon-worthy [haha], yes yes, he's quite *dreamy*. :D for those who have no idea who the hell this hot guy is, he played tristan on gilmore girls, charlie on dawson's creek, the lone ranger in the lone ranger, and plays the love interest, jake, in freaky friday, which opens on august the 6th.. i think. he's working on a new movie now with hilary duff called "a cinderella story" which saddens me.. because hillary duff is like, disney. meh. i'm over it. the pic is actually very recent, it's a pic taken during the shooting of the pilot of his new show [debutes this fall on the WB @ 9PM on tuesdays], One Tree Hill [OTH]. there are many more pics, but meh. anyway, he's extremely hot and anyway, back to my original story. he had a live chat and i entered a question, but it didn't get answered because i entered it too late. but the chat was extremely exciting. wow. major rambling. meh.

then, later on saturday we had guests [alexandra & yana] and my parents had a big BBQ type thingamabobber. and i saw my dad smoking. it was possibly one of the worst things i've ever seen in my life. if you don't already know this, my dad quit smoking a couple years ago. and i remember once brad and i were talking about smoking and i mentioned that i'd never smoke because [along with countless other reasons] my dad smoked since he was, like, 15, and i'd never follow in his footsteps. and i mentioned that he quit a couple years ago. and then brad said "are you sure he quit?" and then he looked at me and walked away. and it made me SO mad!!! uugghh.. i'm recalling it now and i feel like shooting someone [joke, joke]. i don't know why but it made me so mad that he thought he could just assume that my dad did whatever. and that he could just catogorize my dad as a druggie or something. i wanted to scream at him and tell him "no way in hell!!!" but he had already left. and then i see my dad smoking on saturday.. in my own backyard!!! uuggghhh tears started welling up in my eyes and i wanted to scream. i didn't want yana and alexandra to see my crying, because it might not have seemed like the biggest deal to them. but it did to me. so i left for the bathroom and kind of tried to calm myself. ever since then, i've been trying to give my dad a cold shoulder. not the silent treatment because that would just make me laugh. but sort of acting like a stereotypical "teenager" and acting as if whatever he says doesn't matter. then today, he said something like "vlada, i really want to go swimming" and i built up all my courage and said "do you really want to go swimming, or do you really want to go smoke?" he looked at me weird and said "i don't smoke" and then he turned away. like he knew he was lying. uuuugggghhh i'm going to cry. ahhh..

anyway, we ended up playing with the ouija board, but all the spirits who were trying to communicate with us seemed to be either speaking in another language or having a really hard time communicating. it was difficult. i didn't understand anything they said. meh.

then today, we went to yana's house for lunch/dinner. there's no word for that. yet there is a word for breakfast/lunch. interesting... anyway, yana got a pool. bigger than mine, but still has the same depth. and i didn't bring my bathing so i couldn't go swimming, but she pushed me into the pool!!!! everything of mine was wet. i had to wear her clothes while mine were in the dryer. grrrrrrrrr haha.. *glare* i could've smashed my head against the brick!!! meh. i'm over it.

this is the end, i promise. i added a new section called "ART". and it will consist of art that i make. so far there is only one. and it is a trory fanart [trory is the term for tristan and rory, on gilmore girls] and it includes chad michael murray [who played tristan]. it's my first art :) also, this day's quote isn't funny.. i realise. but it is one of the best quotes i've ever heard and comes from a fanfic. think about it.

-sweetvlady

my mom really bugged me that day. sometimes she thinks she's the boss of everyone and she deserves special treatment everywhere she goes. during all my interviews she tried to convince me that she should go in and talk to him. for my second interview, she even let Leon go play a game of laser tag, just so she could sit there inside. UGGGHHHHH i mean seriously. this is our conversation after my first interview in the car:

mom:"so how's it go?"
me:"he says that he'll call me in a couple days to let me know whether i'm getting a second interview and then i come bye to pick up some briefings or something and some packages"
mom:"WHAT?!?!!?!? who do they think they are???"
me:"well, mom, they can do whatever they want, i'm the one applying for the job."
mom:"NO!!! i can't believe they're doing this to you! i'm going to go over there and tell him what i think.. i can't believe this. i'm going to tell him how i feel about all this."
me:"no, mom, don't do that. i won't get the job. they'll think i'm not independent. i'm the one applying, if i didn't like it, i can leave. they're not holding me at gunpoint."

jesus. and the managers know she's my mom because my brother had his party there right before i applied for the job. and she's the one who talked to them first. and she complained throughout the entire party.

"i can't believe you got me this room [it was a perfectly fine room] i hate it, i'm not paying for the room. and this cake.. the first layer is smaller than the second layer!!! i'm not paying for the cake. and the mission is two seconds late. i'm not paying for that."

and i know that don't think i'm independent already. they already think that i rely on my mommy for everything because during the interview, he asked me:

"do you want the job... or does your mom want the job?"

uuugggghhhh.. jesus. but, i can't be mad anymore, because
1. my mom is so stubborn, she'll never apologize
2. she thinks i'm not going to get the job either. hmmm.. i wonder who's at fault??? if i don't get the job, it'll be because of my mom.

but, on to other things, my pool turned out to be a kiddie pool. the water goes up to my knees [keep in mind i'm short] and the diameter is my height [again, keep it mind i'm short]. so that is that. but, a pool's a pool. and ugh, nothing is going right, except for a bead anklet i'm making, and the fact that my next door neighbour is the cutest three month old baby i've ever seen. awwwwwwwwwww, he's soo adorable.

i realise that it is long enough as it is, but no one is making you read this. maybe. but i wanted to add that i've been staying up every night reading tutorials on web design/websites/images/avatars and other crap like that. and i made an avatar. but it isn't working. DAMN. meh.

-sweetvlady

then we went to montanas and had some cheesy garlic sticks and a mile-high mud pie. it was gooooood. mmmmmm... chocolate shat. then when i came home, bilal came to visit [my adorable three-year-old next-door neighbour] and he was soo cute :) awww..

on saturday, ariel came over :) and we decided to go see Legally Blonde: Red, White, and Blonde. unfortunatly, ariel looked up the deaf and blind viewing of the movie instead, so we had to wait a couple hours until the next viewing.. haha. it was funny *glares at ariel* i dont know what marina was talking about when she said both charlies angels and legally blonde were on the same suck level. i think legally blonde was better then full throttle [ew], mainly because it actually had a plot. however, both movies sucked. legally blonde didn't have as many ditzy, girly moments as i thought it would. that's what made the first movie good. meh. when we came out of the movie, i saw stellie!! hey stellie! haha.

my wallet isn't too happy right now.. but if i pass my stupid briefing [tomorrow] then i'm probably getting the job @ Laser Quest. it would be super. haha.. super. i have the entire briefing memorized already :) but i still have to memorize the packages.

also, my parents bought a big new computer desk for the basement. they also bought a big frame for my chagall painting in grade eight. but i think i lost it :( and most exciting of all... MY DAD IS BUYING A POOL TODAY!!!! ahhhhhhh.. its sooo exciting. i mean, of course, it won't be big, but it's something. ahhh.. im excited. news on the briefing shmiefing tomorrow.

-sweetvlady

after laser quest, my mom, brother, and i went to hillcrest. i bought a nice white shirt and other crap. and i saw JAMIE, which completely disgusted me. EEeeeEEEEeEEEWWwWWWWwwWw is all i can say. it looked as if he was with his girlfriend double eww, who was a blonde, and he was holding her shopping bags for her. from guess and blah blah blah. i'm sure he bought her all the clothes with his drug dealing moola. ew. anyway, we ate some dinner there and then we left.

today i just babysat my brother [who's a baby] and went walking recently.. i lengthened my route *yay*. that concludes my boring day.

apart from that, Laser Quest called me yesterday. if i didn't tell you, i applied for a job there and already completed an inteview that sounded like an Oprah episode.

LQ:"were you ever in a situation where someone asked you for your help, but you weren't focused? please give an example and tell me what you would have done differently."

the interview continued for 50 minutes. however, that's not the end. no siree, bob! after that interview [with the general manager], i have to have a 2nd interview with the head manager.

good news: i got called for the 2nd interview couple days early and the manager said i was smart and articulate
bad news: the head manager said that i have to go to Laser Quest today to pick up some "briefings" [no idea what they are], and also pick up 3 booklets on their packages and i have to have a test a couple days later where i have to perform a "briefing" [i don't know what that is] and i have to answer questions about the packages. THEN, i have to have a second interview.

it's as if they're recruiting me for the army. i bet they don't even get that much training. i mean, seriously. if i get the job, and i have to sweep floors... let's just say [hulk voice] you don't want to see me mad. i wouldn't mind sweeping floors, but meh.

yesterday i spent the day with marts and her sis lili in clifton hills, the place where they have all those wax museums and moving theatres and crap. it was really fun :) except for the fact that it is extremely dusty there and since i had [porno]sunscreen on, the dirt and dust stuck to my arms and now i have all these black and brown little specks on my arms and legs. it looks as if i suffer from some disease. and it didn't even come off very well in the shower. ugh. i hope Laser Quest doesn't think i have some disease. but, we did eat good in the neighbourhood at applebees. :) haha
