    avoid eye contact...

    dear friends,
     
    columbia house is trying to entice me with new low prices and their money-saving bonus plan. it almost worked. had i not already been a member of their hell club, it probably would have. this is just a warning to you. 5 dvds for 49 cents each may seem worthwhile....but BELIEVE me, its not. do not fall into their trap! you will never get out.....

    new year....new attitude

    to all my friends:
     
    well, its a new year, and with that comes resolutions and all that crap.....so let me say to you:
     
    resolve to make yourself happy. make decisions that will be the best choice for you, and get you where you want to be in life. that doesnt mean that you shouldnt help other people out if its an inconvenience for you, not at all......just.....dont screw yourself over for them....cause you can be sure that they wouldnt do the same for you. to quote my father, "i'm aaaaaaaaaall done." lol. oh, and try to resist the urge to become all bitter and cynical like me....lol. no really, i'm not..i just need to say these things sometimes.
     
    happy new year :)

    Dont drink the water....

    wtf. wtf. & wtf. what is wrong with my effing town? please, i would like to know. as of this week a dead body was found in the park on main street (of a woman who i worked with btw), and then today, the bank got a bomb threat and main street was blocked off by cops. wtf. i cant even get over all the crazy shit that is happening here. honestly. bethany and i started thinking about all the stuff that has happened in the last three years or so, and its pretty effed. this is a small town (1500), this shit doesnt happen to us.
    here is a small sampling (in no particular order):
    1. a pedophile tried to pick up about three kids...on main street...on different days
    2. a man was killed on his motortcycle on main street, collision with transport
    3. a woman committed suicide and was found in a field..just out side of town
    4. someone i work with attempted suicide
    5. a dead body found in the new park on main street
    6. a bomb threat at the bank...on main street lol
    7. owner of 7-2-11 charged with molesting children...then he won a million dollars
    8. a boy was hit by a car and recieved serious head injuries...oooon main st.
    9. there was a stabbing...(possibly over 3 years ago)
    10. a dog was attacked, killed, and according to rumour, eaten by another dog

    so, like i said before...wtf. i need to get out of here before i go insane like everyone else......

    oh tristmas, you are coooming...

    first of all, i would like to say..., i'm so excited that christmas is almost here! next i would like to say: fack i wish i had money. lol. if you know me you are probably sick of hearing about this, but i dont care. i really really need money. my tuition is due in 3 days and my credit card and phone bills will be coming soon. i need to get my oil changed in elton, take my cats to the vet for numerous expensive things, AND tomorrow i'm going christmas shopping with my mom. oh ya, and i dont have enough to do any of it. lol. i do have a plan though, which i will not bore you with. i'm pretty excited about going to school next year and everything that comes with that, even if it will cost MORE money. money is soo the devil. i don't wonder anymore why people rob banks, i completely understand.
    ok. new, less boring topic. i'm on day 4 of my advent calendar! and if you have an advent calendar, chances are, you are too! lol. i love advent calendars. the only thing that i would change is the nasty ass chocolate inside of them lol. can't they use real chocolate? well, i guess they are only like .95 cents or something, but still, real chocolate would be nice.
    i'm really very cold right now. i should maybe go start a fire or something.
    OK, quick poll. which school should i go to?
    1. University of Guelph
    2. Kings University College (@UWO)
    3. Huron University College (@UWO)
    don't get carried away and think that your sole decision will make up my mind, i just want some input folks. thanks for caring!
    ttyl,

    *frown

    It's offical. The people who work at Columbai House are f*cking idiots. How long ago did I send that email? Not very. And yet, yesterday, I not only recieved ANOTHER stupid "exclusive club member offers" package in the mail, but a courtesy call as well. Luckily (for Columbia House) I was not at home to recieve the call, although I kinda wish I was; maybe this dilemma could be 'cleared up' by now. Apparantly I'm going to have to keep throwing out useless mail that I dont even open and dodging their phone calls. All I can say is: if they start sending me actual movies in the mail, Columbia House we soon be recieving a courtesy call.

    Dear "Columbia House",

    I am having a problem as of late, it has a little something to do with a certain music/dvd club by the name of Columbia House. Raise your hand if you have heard of it. Yeah, that's what I thought. Now, if you are familiar with my previous 'space' you will perhaps recall that this is not my first problem with the oh so intelligent people working at this organization, and i'm sure that it will not be my last. I have been receiving call after call, and email after email and as of today, I received one of those stupid ass packages with the little magazines and "special offers for club members" in it. What is the problem you ask? Only this: I QUIT THE FUCKING CLUB! I would really like to know what kind of people do not understand "do not contact me". Actually, I take that back. I would really not like to know. But I WOULD really, really, like for them to stop. Therefore, in a rage, I wrote this:
     

    "Dear “Columbia House”,

     

                There seems to have been a misunderstanding. When I quit the music and dvd club I made it very clear that I did not want to be contacted again about reactivating my membership. What I meant when I said that was, I did NOT want to be contacted again about reactivating my membership. Therefore I do NOT appreciate coming home to find out that I have been receiving phone calls from Columbia house. I do NOT appreciate getting emails from Columbia house. And I do NOT appreciate getting mail from Columbia House. Let me save you some time and paper by telling you right now what I would appreciate. I would appreciate it if you would stop contacting me regarding joining your club or regarding ANYTHING ELSE TO DO WITH IT. I do not want to be in the club and I’m not going to change my mind. Please do not contact me again for any reason. Thank you in advance.

    p.s. you can cancel this membership number that was given to me for some unknown reason and kindly not assign me another one."

     

    *end of letter*

     

    Do you think that this will help them to understand that I wasnt just 'joshing' them when I said I did not want to be in their club? Nooot likely. We'll see what happens next.....
