A Liberating Feeling

So I've been meaning to post this for a few days, but my laziness has prevented me from doing so.

Saturday night, we went to Ceeps for an fun night out to celebrate Greg's last night in London. We were all having a lovely time before a run-in happened with what looked like 15 year old girls.

I was walking through the wooden patio section of Ceeps with a full drink in tow and Mel following behind. As I was walking past these girls (that looked way too young to be there), the one girl's arm started flailing around, which apparently was her attempt at dancing. Her arm started flailing though just in time to whack my own drink down my own shirt. You know, things like this happen at bars all the time. It's not a big deal, the only thing I expect in such situation is an apology.

With a "what do you want" look on her face, I patiently wait for an apology. Her 12 year old friend then pipes up and says "Ohhh, hunnie. You'll be fine".

Excuse me? Did you just patronize me after my OWN drink was knocked down MY shirt??
I don't think so. So I say, "Well, hunnie. If I poured what's left of my drink down your shirt, are you going to tell me that you're fine?"

Then of course, a chotch of a guy that was standing behind them (a boyfriend, or possibly a babysitter) started to mock me mocking her.

That must have been the last straw for me, because well...Now I can proudly say that I have thrown a drink in some asshole's face. That's right. I did it. I went there. And it was the most liberating feeling ever.

So next time some idiots are trying to get all snarky on you at the bar? Oopsy, just dump on drink on them.
I know it was worth the $5 dollars that it cost me.

Attn: Student Ghetto

JUST SAY NO.


For those of you who take a regular snack break over to Macs convenience store on the corner of Broughdale and Richmond St. should be warned.
The gentleman tending the store has a tendency to overcharge or short change customers. From personal experience, I may say that this has occurred many of times. When it happens once or twice, fine; I’ll let it slide. I mean 50 cents here or there, isn’t that much. But it does add up.
Let me tell you about this evening’s incident at this dear convenience store in the student ghetto.
As a break from our movie-thon, Mel and I felt that we needed a snack before watching Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer fight it out like bitches. So we headed down to the store for some chips and ice cream. The selection of Haagen Daz seemed extremely plentiful this evening, so I decided that I must indulge. I grab a tub of Caramel Cone Explosion and check to see the price (which is displayed on the freezer door). $6.29 it says. I grab that delicious tub of caramel goodness with a banana popsicle and some wafer cookies for later (yes, I’m a fatty – stop passing judgment), and head for the counter. Now, having been fooled by this man before, I decided to keep an eye on that price display as the items were scanned. The tub of deliciousness was scanned as $6.49. Alright, 20 cent different – who cares right? Well, I probably wouldn’t have either, if this guy wasn’t such a prick.

I ask, “Sorry, how much was that?”
He says, “$6.49”
I say, “Oh, over there it says that it’s $6.29”
He says, “Where?” (with a very snarky attitude tone of voice)
“On the freezer door there” I say.
“Well,” he says, “I changed the price right now…today”
“Excuse me?...What?!” I say.
Without even asking if I still wanted it or not, he proceeds to grab the tub of ice cream and take it off the counter while saying, “You don’t want it, FINE!”
“Whoa, Umm Okay. I don’t want it then.” I say. (WHAT THE SHIT?!)
Then I say, admittingly with a lot of attitude, “If you’re going to ‘raise the price today’, you might want to change that price over there”

Seriously though, who gave you the right to be such a fucking prick to your customers? We are giving you business. Heeeelllloooo!!! You aren’t the only convenience store on the block!!! Newsflash, just because we’re students, does not make it alright for you to take your menstrual mood swings out on us or try to swindle extra couple of cents off of every purchase thinking that we don’t know how to add. Unfortunately for you, we have all passed 1st grade.

Future notice for anyone looking for a delicious treat during a break from studying, or looking to fulfill any sweet tooth cravings, head over to Miles Mart for better customer service and the same magnificent snacks ready to be consumed. It’s only a couple steps away and totally worth the trip if it means not having to put up with a bitter middle-aged man with pickles stuck up his rear.

Blogger Self-Reflection

Alright, so I was never a great blogger. But in my boredom, I went to my previous blog and read over some of my past posts. Conclusion? I used to be a lot more entertaining back then. Well at least I thought so, re-reading some of the posts.

Take for example my random post relating Johnny Depp to Sesame Snaps???
I mean, I actually entertained people with that post.
Don't believe me? Here's a testimonial:

Hi Sylvia. I just laughed so hard I cried at this post of yours. You are nothing but pure entertainment especially when I read the post out loud. I hope more people out there than just me read your posts out loud because they know how enjoyable it is.

What happened!? I mean, I think this blog is mediocre at best. I'm not that entertaining. I've been lacking with posts. There aren't as many pics as I used to put up. I don't tell stories. I don't tell jokes. I'm pretty much a dull blogger.

That might be why my blog doesn't get many comments, huh.

I'll try my best to be a little more entertaining from here on.

Exit Ghetto; Enter Downtown

I've had it. No more student ghetto for me.
This girl is heading downtown to 675 next year with two of my girls.
Best part of it all will be the Ikea, Pier 1 etc. etc. shopping to decorate our sexy new pad!
And of course the fact that we never have to cab it to a bar again!

Amazing.
