"My life reads like the classifieds."
I love this song a lot. It's actually very excellent, and if you haven't listened to it, you really should, because its fanatastic.
Today I will write a classified ad...selling me!
I know, not very original, but I'm bored and Katy is forcing me to write everyday now.
So here goes:
Cori Foster
Relatively new model,
average size,
good interior,
engine in excellent condition,
start can be stubborn.
Expected to stay in good condition for many years yet.
Breaks down at least once a month.
Most break downs can be remedied by chocolate, milk, music, or laughter.
Break downs most commonly caused by Rachel not answering her phone/her message mailbox being full so I can't leave her a message about my hair again, or problems related to man cars.
Today I am thankful for:
1. Notebooks
2. Funny television
3. My new niece (that Rachel would know about if her message inbox wasn't full).
4. Good books
5. Parents that are trying to do what's best for you even if they may not be right about what that is.
Goodnight Mes Cheries!
Je vous aime.

The Ice Pack : Day 9
It's been a few days. I have tried to write every day since the last post but have found myself coming up short on words. I have been thinking a lot about the people in my life and what they mean to me. I'd like to share some of the words i've come up with.
Mom:
I know we haven't spent much time together lately because we're both crazy busy, but I love the smile you get on your face when I walk in the door after school skating or work. It never ceases to be the best welcome a girl could ask for. You are always glad to see me, and it lights up my day.
Joy:
You may complain about the cold and about your situation and complications with the ex, but I couldn't be happier to walk with you every day, and once again improve our already insanely awesome friendship. I am spending more time with you than we had or a while, and I am so glad to have you back. We have our ups and downs, and baby right now we're on top of the world.
Katy:
Oh Katy, there will never be the right words for you. I really appreciate that you have been among the people there for me through all of my stupid boy-driven craziness. (Maybe Aunt Cory was right...I am boy crazy.) And even though you can yell the name out loud so lots of people hear you, you are still there to talk to and don't make fun of me when I say I miss seeing him everyday, even though it shouldn't matter. Thanks sweetie.
Rachel:
Firstly, your answering machine is my new best friend. We talk about everything: boys, hair, clothes, make-up, tests, school. You name it; I've talked to your machine about it. The rare occasions that you do answer your phone, however, we have lovely conversations about everything that matters.
Stephen:
Even though you are in Italy right now, I miss you very much and hate it when we fight, but when we get along, it is the best of times. Thanks for being there for me big brother, and not letting the crap I get you involved with turn you against me. Family is forever whether you want it or not, so let's make the best of it, right?
Jeffrey:
Oh musical mini-me, I am getting to know my dear growing teenager-ing cousin more and more each day and I am taken back to the days when I was your idol. I love how much we have in common and I look forward to spending more time with you and love the jokes we share. Can't wait to get on your head those hurss.
So instead of things to be thankful for today, those are the people I am thankful for.
<3

The Show : Day 7
Today we attended a lovely show by The Local Openers. (Well, actually it was a show by The Aggrolites, The Brains and Everybody Out, but The Local Openers...you know. Opened. =] ) The lovely Joy DiCarlo straightened my hair for me. It's very soft. =] It was a pretty decent show and a step up from their usual venue. (Oh, The Shadow...)
Alright, I need to get to bed soon. Today I am thankful for:
1. The Elephant Stomp
2. My Bestie --> Joy
3. Dollar store chocolate
4. Facebook birthday notifications
5. Cellphone cameras
Good night. (Sleep tight.)

The Notes: Day 6
Today was a day for notes! Note that my neck hurts right now, and Rachel is completely ignoring me. She is talking about brownies with her American roomies. I miss my big brother. :-( and other people. She's ignoring me again. That hoe-bag.
I am super thankful today for:
1. Dollar store chocolate
2. Pictures
3. Music
4. Cell phones
5. Brownies, or so it seems.
6. Random facebook notes.
I am definitely in love with the song Classifieds by The Academy Is...
I need to remember:
1. an envelope with $16 crack change for Alex M.
2. pants for hospitality class!
Rachel and I are discussing genes. Boob genes, to be specific.
It's great. I have a cardboard engagement ring! I stole it from a roll of dimes at work.
Anyways, i am obviously not thinking straight, so I'm done for today.
xox

The Vote : Day 5
Today is the day of Canada's 40th federal election. Yay Canada! As Katy brought to my attention, IF the current government last at least 2 years, six months and 2 days, I can vote in the next election! (Very exciting, I know. However slim the chances are that the government will last that long.) The current standings are Liberal: 30, Conservative: 23, NDP: 8, Bloque Quebecois: 5, and 2 'other'. It keeps changing but I won't update every time it changes. That would be too much work. Now the Liberals are behind the Conservatives again. Okay, that's all the election talk for now. My computer is being deadly slow, and so I have to wait about five minutes after any time I type something. Today I am thankful for:
1. Democracy
2. Distance
3. Patience
4. Cute little kids
5. Alyssa, Nicole and Hayley
And today my one major feeling is ENVY! I am very much jealous of all of the lucky grade twelves that departed today for their Italy trip. I wish very much that I could be there, but I am not. Oh well, I hope that they enjoy it.
C'est tout pour aujoud'hui.
Bon soir!

The Crumbs : Day Four
The crumbs the crumbs, oh the crumbs. They are EVERYWHERE. Sarah is dead meat next time I see her. I have crumbs in my hair, in my bra, in my pants. I'm very itchy now. I'm currently watching entertaining old music videos. Anyone cool should go on youtube (or wherever) and listen to the song 'Classifieds' by The Academy is... . It's good stuff. =] Today being Thanksgiving, I decided I should be extra thankful for everything that happened today (bread crumbs included).
So, today I am thankful for:
1. Me and Joy dying at the same time.
2. Regrets
3. Missing my ex-boyfriend (for the first time).
4. Naps
5. Laughter.
Only five today. I'm thankful for much more, but these are the ones that are sometimes harder to find or be thankful for, so today I will focus on them. Me and Joy aren't really dead yet, but we've decided that we'll die at the same time so that neither one of us ever has to live without the other. Regrets show that I have learned and see what I would have done differently. so I appreciate the learning opportunity that they present. Missing the ex-boyfriend is a hard one. As some people know, him and I are...not so much close right now. But missing him reminds me that even though we have a bad time right now, we had lots of good times before this. Naps are easy to be thankful for, but hard to find time for. I am exhausted today. I was up too late reading last night. After this I am showering to remove the crumbs, and then going straight to bed. that's how tired I am. And finally, laughter makes the day worth the morning. The end justifies the means, so to speak. Working on Thanksgiving Day (and the day before that, and the day before that) could be considered really super crappy, but I had someone that had to go through the same deal with me, and the laughs made this whole weekend worthwhile. Thank you Cookie Monster for being a bully and making me laugh. Overall, I'd say this weekend has been a lovely success. Alright, I'm going to de-crumb, brush my teeth, and go to sleep!

The Gas Pedal: Day Three
Today was a day that started out long but then took a turn for the super excellent.
In the 6:23 of the am I woke up and my tummy hurt. So I got up and got ready for skating for which we left at approximately 7:15 for. Then at skating I got sadled with first dance lesson (not that I don't love dancing with a slightly hungover completely exhausted Paul first thing in the morning). Jokes, he probably wasn't hungover, though he did say he was up late 'partying' even though he described late as 1:30. Silly Paul. He's turning into an old man. Thennn I finally realized around 10:00 that the reason I couldn't see properly and had a headache was because I only had in one contact lens. Way to go Cori.
After skating was church, which was lovely. Then I went home and got ready for work. Turned on the TV for a few minutes to see that one of my favourite shows was on. (This was when my day took a turn for the better).
When I was walking to work, I had both my mp3 player and Megan's (because Meg's is way less...*****y then mine). Unfortunately, Megan's was dead so I was forced to resort to using Billy. He took about five minutes to load, which is a long time, even by Billy standards. But then the song "Rock My Body" by The Higher came on.
!!!!
I haven't heard that song in about...a month? Since Billy decided he hated me and mysteriously deleted 430 songs.
I was confused and so looked to the corner of the screen which read "324/468" . Oh man. I geeked. I started jumping up and down and squealing and kissing Billy and I'm sure anyone who saw me wondered which hallucinogen I was on, but I didn't care. Maybe I wouldn't have to replace him after all!
Then I had another fun day at work, this time with Princess and the Cookie Monster. WE FINISHED EARLY!
THEN!! (there's more, it's been quite a day) I decided to go with Daddy to pick up Kevin from his home in Ferg/lora and got the chance to DRIVE! Oh yeah baby, that's right. I drove. For the first time ever. And so yeah, it was nerve-wracking and it was only down a driveway but it was a big driveway and it was cool.
So that's the excitement of my day.
Oh, and I got to feed Maisie's asian plastic son, Hunter Shawn Rooyakkers. (Had she married his father, he'd be Hunter Shawn Chan).
Today I am thankful for!:
1. Faithful ol' Billy Sansa
2. Exhausted dance partners
3. Gas pedals
4. Break pedals
5. Windshield wipers
6. Plastic babies
7. The song 'Kyrie Eleison'
C'est tout pour aujourd'hui, mais probablement plus demain!

The Chocolate: Day two
So, I didn't find the time to post yesterday, but I did find the time to write down my five things. Actually, I had more than five yesterday, it was a good day.
1. Smooth legs
2. Friends to walk with
3. Awkward yet informative conversations
4. New friend-boys
5. Hayley
6. The radio
7. Hair elastics and their superior jacket tightening abilities
8. Pedal car (races)
9. REEBOK TRACK SUITS!
10. William Beckett
11. Facebook creeping
12. Resilient knees
13. Cute boys/hockey players.
I expect to be thankful for the majority of these things almost every Friday. Specially number four and numbers 12/13.
Yesterday I got something Joy and I have been discussing for about a week now. Dun-dun-duhh! Closure. =] S'all alright with a certain attractive boy now, which relates to number 3.
Shout outs to Graham for being my new friend-boy and making fun of me all last night. I needed to laugh to distract me from the immense pain in my knees. (ow)
If I had a list of things to be unthankful for, it would involve hockey skates. Stupid evil hockey skates. I will get used to them though, I suppose.
Today I worked with Donna (yay) and Sarah (a.k.a. Cookie Monster). I got a new nickname today as well, but I won't say it here, because I don't need to encourage its use. It's not exactly flattering. Today I also found certain pictures of Mikey and Laura today that I thought had been destroyed. Much to Mikey's dismay, I was mistaken. They and the accompanying video are very much intact and safely saved on my computer. Haha Mikey, sucks to be you. Today I am thankful for:
1. Cookies
2. Coworkers
3. Chris' absence on Saturdays
4. Warm blankets
5. Light switches
6. Hole-y pants
7. Frickin' nuggets
8. Scotch tape
Saturdays are my favourite days to work. (Note # 3) Aaand today we were only twenty minutes late. That's pretty good considering the week I've had.
Well, that's the past two days in my eyes.

The Outlet : Day 1
So, I decided to start blogging because even though I have been insanely busy, I need something to occupy my spare time so I don't waste it thinking about things that...shouldn't be thought about.
I feel a little lost lately, and I've always wondered about blogging...I wondered if maybe writing again would help me find myself.
I'm going to try Sister Christine's idea of finding five things a day that I can be thankful for. I'm going to post them everyday that I can get on here so that people can yell at me if I forget to be thankful. Today, I am thankful for:
1. Stephen's forgiveness
2. Joy's lobster, because he makes her happy.
3. Having someone to talk to.
4. Music.
5. The wind through my hair when I walk home.
Today my thoughts are wandering somewhere around a robot with nice hair and a song in his heart that doesn't want to be my friend. He's standing in an empty gymnasium holding a red daisy and plucking the petals off one at a time. He's a pretty cool robot, I kinda wish he was my friend. The robot is telling me to fix my mp3 player. My computer is telling me not to waste my time. I plugged in my mp3 player and tried to open it with Windows Media Player, and a pop-up came across the screen. It said,
"Honey, are you serious? You're very persistant, but it's a waste of time. Go buy a new one." Then it listed the options 'Ok' or 'In Denial'.
I chose the one about denial, I still love my mp3 player, Billy has been nothing but faithful to me. A little stubborn sometimes, but faithful none the less.
Add that to my list of things to be thankful for:
6. Faithful ol' Billy Sansa.
