Watching the finale of ER... I didn't get to see the whole thing, but the end actually made me cry....

Anyway, more training at work today, which was.... interesting... Most of the staff during the day is nice, but now that I have direct contact with them it's different... I told one of them that the guy from our shift that went to theirs went on a trip for the company and by the end of the day that information had gotten around to all of the reps. It was basically, how come I don't get to go? I've been here longer... I almost started to panic, cause I started to think that the guy I told about would be angry, but everyone on my regular shift thought it was funny, and I realized it really wasn't that big a deal... Just wow... The gossip in that place...

I had a bit of trouble concentrating in my training though.... First I found the sunglasses I lost and then I remembered that I had forgot to watch Torchwood this week (for any Canadians out there it's now on Space on Tuesdays at 10pm)...

I literally screamed when I saw him... I, just.... I...

And it was really good, I wasn't too sure about it at first, but I really enjoyed it. Dev Patel was really good, and he Frieda really do have great chemistry... All the children were really good too...

But, just what is with Danny Boyle and bathroom humour? He's like obsessed with it... Watching this and watching Trainspotting, I was like, what in the???

I also didn't remember that Chris Eccleston was in Danny's first movie (with Ewan no doubt) Shallow Grave, till I read the credits on imdb... I rented it from the library a long time ago, I almost want to go and get it again.

The icon has nothing to do with anything (except for obvious JB love), and that I want the weather to go warmer, which it is actually supposed to.

Steven Page is leaving Barenaked Ladies... This truly feels like the end of an era. I mean I was *in* Grade Nine when the song came out... The other guys are going to go on without him... I never did pay attention to what happened when he was arrested for drugs though...

In other news, work went well (go me!) and my mother and I are still talking in circles... I am SO sick of it. I want out and would have been gone if I had a full time job (which she knows)...

Oh and stupid itunes just took 2 tries to load, WTF???

I solved one of my problems when I uploaded my Ianto mood theme... The length of title of the mood theme... This time, uploading a Jack mood theme, stupid photobucket decided to be an ass... I kept trying to do mass upload, and it kept quitting... So after rebooting twice, and then trying the mass upload again, I settled on uploading one by one... Totally tedious, but it works now, so totally worth it.

I could talk about the rest of my day... Stupid back hurts, and hearing Right Here Waiting for You at the psychiatrist's office... And my Party of Five crack... I totally forgot that Jennifer Aspen was a cast member in the final season... And what a diva Neve Campbell was...

Well I've done it... I have finally seen Rent with Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp... Truly a wondrous experience...

( Cut for length )

I do have a second part, but this is just a few incidentals... I couldn't pick out Jed or Karmine or Cary on the stage. Caren Lyn Manuel goes by Caren Tackett now? She must have gotten married.

Oh and the icon? In honour of my favourite A A Milne character :o)

As of about half an hour ago, I fulfilled all of my requirements... I am now a college graduate... My last was keyboarding speed and accuracy, and I have 61 words per minute (well more, but I don't perform well under pressure)...


And tomorrow is.....

on my flist a Happy New Year... I want to thank you all for adding me back... I don't want to single anyone out, you have all been such a highlight to a VERY shitty year (which is now thankfully over :o)). Thank you all for being my friends :o)

And of course my other highlights: John Barrowman, Torchwood and Gareth David-Lloyd... Little did I know when I innocently downloaded Another Side last November that it would turn into this... Torchwood Series 2 seriously rocked. Gareth squeezed me when I met him in June... And in my eight times meeting John, I walked past him on the street, he touched my back (and I touched his squee!), and he waved at me on the last night of Maria (and drove down John Street like a maniac :P)

( just cause I love this picture :o) )

My Simple Christmas Wish

Ever since I was a baby I have had one dream in mind
And each Christmas I think maybe it will finally come true
It's a simple wish that everyone has had form time to time
So I know you'll understand me when I share my dream with you

I wanna be rich famous and powerful
Step on all my enemies and never do a thing
I wanna be rich famous and powerful
So all I have to do in life is sit around and sing

I don't wanna work, struggle or compromise
When I set a goal I wanna reach it right away
Cause paying your dues, that's for other guys
As for me I want what I want and I want it all today

I don't wanna audition I don't wanna take class
I wanna be discovered while I'm sitting on my ass
I should not have to struggle I should not have to sweat
I tried that once for ten minutes look, what did I get?

I'm still not rich, famous, and powerful
Barbara Streisand has it all and I can do what she can do.
So why is she rich, famous, and powerful?
While I'm still shleping through my life like all of you

What does it take to be famous and powerful?
Regis, if you're listening, just tell me what to do!
What do I have to fake to be famous and powerful?
I've done everything I can. The rest is up to you

Se I tried being good I tried being nice
I even tried pretending I was listening once or twice
But the really big stars, they made it without it
Was Betty Davis nice? I seriously doubt it

Still she was rich
Everyone adored her. The world was at her feet
She was a bitch
It's obvious I've gotten nowhere being sweet

I wanna be rich, famous, and powerful
Comon don't be so shoched. You feel the same as I
If we were rich, famous, and powerful
We could take all those agents and casting directors
Tiny appartments and fat tax collectors
Critics and casting calls, chilly rehearsal halls,
People who bore, us jobs in the chorus
and kiss their balls good-bye!

Now is that too much to ask?


Did I mention that Emily Skinner totally kicks ass?
