Peculiarities

I do a lot of odd things, so i'm gonna have random posts now with the title 'peculiarities' when i feel like mentioning them/admitting to them, etc. So Today's is all about meat.

Now one thing I love is meat. Sausage, bacon, beef, steak, poultry...bbq it, roast it, boil it, i eat it.

Maybe this stems from my love of animals, or my previous attempt at vegetarianism (which would have lasted out of the love of animals thing, but my iron levels were way too low and the pills made me constipated which sucked, and so meat won out.) but whatever the reason, i cannot mix my meats.

Some of you love your burgers with bacon, or your turducken, or whatever, but for me, one meat at a time, please.

1) This does not apply to animal bi-products. Bacon and eggs work fine, even though its piggy and chicken. Likewise, turkey sammiches with cheese and mayo. That's turkey, cow, and chicken.

2) Sometimes I can have soup and a sammich, ex. Tomato soup with a beef stock followed by a chicken sammich.

3) Pizza can also have one meat only. Pepperoni OR chicken OR bacon.

4) Don't be greedy on holidays. We had ham and duck for easter, but one at a time! Have duck now and have ham (which is easy for me to cut out, i hate it) for left-overs.

So the thing is, I guess, if I'm eating poor defensive animals then I might as well try to be somewhat civil about it. One dead animal per plate, please.

Around the House

Just did some painting and had to stop again coz i need another drop cloth. wet paint on my fingers, and...i swear i was scratching my nose, not picking it!

lots of spiders waking up and they are all over the house. Daddy, you really need to clean the vacuum out so i can use it already! Suck up those buggers!

Working tomorrow, friday and saturday...still haven't won the lottery, so still don't have a weekend. sigh.

I have some laundry to do also, and start getting my stuff cleaned up and organized. I just want to be lazy!

Moody

It's funny how people who know me really well try to put up with me being moody. They shortly realize I'm not going to get any nicer and happier, and finally they get to the root of the problem: "Jackie, I think you need to eat something." not just me!

Songs I Never Got as a Kid

1) "Shoo Fly." Until my youth, maybe even teenagerhood, I always wondered what a shoe fly was.

2) "Oh, Dear, What Can the Matter Be?" Again, until my youth, I wondered about the elusive lava-tree, and how seven old ladies managed to get stuck in it.

3) "Frere Jaques" went something like this until I learned French: "fraira jaqua, dormez vous, sonna mede tina, ding dang dong."

Moving

Moving soon..my parents are cleaning and painting, getting the house ready for renting out and moving out. They are sorting through years worth of things. Our last move, my brother and I were still young enough not to want to let go of childhood toys, and the ones we kept are still around, and being sorted through now. I have barbie dolls, batman toys, star trek next gen toys, ninja turtles, smurfs...some of it I would still like to keep, however. I wonder what my brother will say when he finds out the Lego is actually mine and not his...Muahahaha. Also, i won the N64, which is shared between us, in rock paper scissors. And my dad's NES (which i need to figure out how to fix.)

The parents are also going through a wedding box. They just threw out their cake topper (why they kept it i dont know) and are talking about something called a scapula, and wedding invitations. When you sort through your life, how do you decide what's worth keeping? Really it's just STUFF. items. Material goods. But some of it you still decide is worth keeping, something you like as a memento. It's just odd letting go of something you kept for so long, even though you never looked at it, but kept it in a box or a drawer.

I just threw away all my love letters from high school. I kept them all becuse they were so cute. I would have kept them still but figured some of my hs boyfriends may not be so pleased that they are still around haha. It was hard, too, because bf's don't write me love letters anymore, not like they used to. Life was so much easier when we sat around taking notes in class and weren't paying attention but sketching and writing to each other instead. You can't tune out your undergrad or gradschool profs or you're in trouble!

Anyway gotta go through my old VHS tapes and toys now, get stuff ready for selling/donating/garbage. adventure to the past!

school

While applying for OSAP (student loan), I am realizing that Canada sucks. Nordic countries, some EU countries, and some South American countries have free post-secondary school. Canada has cheaper tuition than some countries, but still too much. I want to move to Norway and have free school! How awesome would that be?!!! Plus, people there are probably less dumb 'cause they're more inclined to go to school.
