Jaysus.

It's been a year almost exactly since I last posted. I've been over at LiveJournal since January and I've transferred all my love to them. Sorry, Blogger. The auto-emailed comments and icons and not to mention the fandom love have won me over. Buuuuut, Ashleigh has started a community for the Savannah Stories and because I love her so, I'm reviving this account. Well, kind of.

I'll be keeping the link for my LJ in the sidebar and I'll be updating it most frequently, but I'll really try to keep this current. Plus, my LJ is mostly just me rambling about my tv shows and my lameass fanfic.

Anyway, I'll post more later. Love you Ash!

Just got back from the 2004 Annual JCC Sports Dinner, a huge fundraiser for the Jewish Community Center and packed with infulential people, athletes and entertaiment people. My feet are killing me because I just spent six hours standing in stilettos, but I'm over the moon because I met Trevor Linden!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with hockey and it's players, Trevor Linden is #16 for the Vancouver Canucks, my hometown team. He played with us for ten years before being traded to the NY Islanders in 1998, then was traded back to Vancouver in 2002 after bumping all over the league.

I've been a huge fan of his since I was about seven. Other girls had posters of New Kids on the Block and Tiffany on their walls, but I had a huge yellow and black Trever Linden poster. I collected his cards and I have, I think, sixteen of them, just up to 1997, when I stopped collecting hockey cards. (I was a tomboy for sure)

Anyway, tonight I was at the dinner as a favor to my friend Mike, who was volunteer co-ordinator as a random volunteer. I was there with my band and we wore our sparkly G-Force shirts. I saw Trevor lining up to go the head table for the dinner and I mantioned how amazing it would be to meet him. Mike casually says he'll take me to meet him later. I just gaped and said I'd love to, but it wasn't a big deal, so don't worry.

Later, I was chatting with two other volunteer and Mike comes by to hear me say how much I would love to meet him. "Let's go," the man says and armed with a sharpie and the only piece of paper I could dig up(a G-Force postcard with a blank back), he takes me up to the head table. He leans over to Trevor and mentions something about would it be okay if I met him, because I was a big fan. He says sure, and up I go. Trevor offered me the empty seat next to him and I just tried not to say anything stupid.

We chatted about how glad we both were he was back in Vancouver and when he went to sign the card, he saw the other side and asked about the band. He was so nice and comfortable to talk to and we spent about five minutes chatting. When I left the table I was controlling the hugest grin and when I got back to the girls, I almost cried I was so thrilled. It was seriously a huge moment for me to meet someone I've looked up to for so many years. That postcard is going to be framed, I swear to god.

You are a PHOENIX in your soul and your
wings make a statement. Huge and born of flame,
they burn with light and power and rebirth.
Ashes fall from your wingtips. You are an
amazingly strong person. You survive, even
flourish in adversity and hardship. A firm
believer in the phrase, 'Whatever doesn't kill
you only makes you stronger,' you rarely fear
failure. You know that any mistake you make
will teach you more about yourself and allow
you to 'rise from the ashes' as a still greater
being. Because of this, you rarely make the
same mistake twice, and are not among the most
forgiving people. You're extremely powerful and
wise, and are capable of fierce pride, passion,
and anger. Perhaps you're this way because you
were forced to survive a rough childhood. Or
maybe you just have a strong grasp on reality
and know that life is tough and the world is
cruel, and it takes strength and independence
to survive it. And independence is your
strongest point - you may care for others, and
even depend on them...but when it comes right
down to it, the only one you need is yourself.
Thus you trust your own intuition, and rely on
a mind almost as brilliant as the fire of your
wings to guide you.You are eternal and because
you have a strong sense of who and what you
are, no one can control your heart or mind, or
even really influence your thinking. A symbol
of rebirth and renewal, you tend to be a very
spiritual person with a serious mind - never
acting immature and harboring a superior
disgust of those who do. Likewise, humanity's
stupidity and tendency to want others to solve
their problems for them frustrates you
endlessly. Though you can be stubborn,
outspoken, and haughty, I admire you greatly.

You are Form 0, Phoenix: The Eternal.

"And The Phoenix's cycle had reached
zenith, so he consumed himself in fire. He
emerged from his own ashes, to be forever
immortal."

Some examples of the Phoenix Form are Quetzalcoatl
(Aztec), Shiva (Indian), and Ra-Atum
(Egyptian).
The Phoenix is associated with the concept of life,
the number 0, and the element of fire.
His sign is the eclipsed sun.

As a member of Form 0, you are a determined
individual. You tend to keep your sense of
optomism, even through tough times and have a
positive outlook on most situations. You have
a way of looking at going through life as a
journey that you can constantly learn from.
Phoenixes are the best friends to have because
they cheer people up easily.

Okay, so I go in for surgery in.... seven hours. I have to be at Surrey Memorial at 7:30am and the surgery's at nine. Then, I'm in an anthestesia (sp? ahh, who cares) coma til about one, when they ship me off to my parent's house. Day surgery, they call it. I thought staying in the hospital for one night would be expected, but noooooo. I'll be staying with my parents for about a week and a half. Not so much with the excited, but at least I'm not at work for a bloody change. I woke up this morning at nine thirty, looked at my watch and panicked 'I have to leave for work in ten minutes'. Then I remembered when I was and fell back asleep. Then I woke up at ten thirtyish and went 'Oh God, I'm late for work!' See how my job consumes my life!!!!!!

For those (two lonely readers) of you were wondering why I'm going for surgery at all, I have a cyst or something on my left knee, below my kneecap. I've had it for about six years and it's getting a bit bigger and I can't kneel on it. The doctor asks me if it's been getting bigger, and I go, "Well, it didn't start this big!" Uh, duh. Anyway, they did a biopsy on it and the results were 'inconclusive', so they're all, let's just take all of it and send it to the lab. Well, that was a waste of time and, ow!!

So, I'll try and keep you updated from my pullout couch in my parent's basement and the funny little modem hack I've got jacked into my laptop. I won't have much else to do.

Okay, so I've moved. Pretty much. There was a whole big thing with my Evil Landlord and the girl who's moving into my apartment, but I don't really feel like writing it now. Anyways, I've got all but a few little things into my new room in the new house. Most importantly, my computer. If you need my new address, email me. Suffice to say, I no longer live by the bar.

In case you didn't know, I've left the glorious solitude of my apartment for the peopled living of a house. Again. I lived in a shared house for almost two years until I moved into my apartment in July. Then I had problems finding roomates (another long story) and I spent a total of three months living on my own. I loved it. I have to say I didn't eat well, rarely did a thurough clean and lived on my computer, but I loved it. The freedom of singing without worrying the roomates think you're nuts or annoying, cooking in my bra after Coyote Ugly, watching whatever, whenever... It's the little things that matter.

On the other hand, it was great to sit in the living room with, almost, everyone and chill and chat and mock 60 Minutes and when I walked around, it had that... house smell. Warm, cleanish, like fabric and people and hints of food and soaps. I like it. My apartment smelled like my perfume and hair stuff and me. Not that it's bad, they're just different.

I hate giving up my independance, though. I felt like having an aparment was a big step forward for myself. I was supporting myself completely and utterly. I didn't have to rely on anyone and I reveled in that power. It's gonna be hard to give up. People always looked at me in a kind of awe when I said I was paying for my rent and all my bills myself. (Keep in mind I had a two bedroom apartment and the bills to go with it.) My dream was to have an apartment. Seriously. I dreamed about coming home, putting my keys on the table, sorting through my mail while checking my messages. Yeah, I'm weird, get over it. I had a long repessed dream about being a secretary too.

Okay, I should go to bed now. My room is cold, my right hand(the mouse hand) is numb and I need to be back at 'The Old Apartment' by nine to pick up my rent check the aforementioned Evil Landlord.

Confident at work but self-conscious outside your job, you've always tried to connect with others while wondering why they can't connect with you. While you can lay a smackdown with the best of them, you also possess an empathetic streak that is both a strength and a weakness in your line of work. Despite your nonchalance regarding your own appearance, your brain and inner beauty seems to attract the opposite sex in droves. You tend to be goal oriented and focused on details--both of which seems to manifest in both your personal and professional lives. Quick with a comeback, your sense of humor is both an asset and a weapon. You are Sara Sidle.

So, CSI Thursday night. It was good, but I don't think it was two parter worthy. Had they just gone to regular credits instead of to be continued, I might have felt less cheated by the lack of Oooh excitement in the resolution. It was a cool ep, though. I loved seeing Greg out of the lab. I think he's hot anyways, but for some reason I think he looked even hotter when they let him out. Plus, I liked seeing him stand up to Grissom, when normally he's cowed and nervous. Good character developement. I still think he and Nick have good chemistry.

That overbloated floater was disgusting! I seriously thought I was going to lose my dinner. Usually I'm eating during CSI, but I'm really glad I wasn't then. I liked Catherine's line about all the CSIs sharing a house ("We should do that. You, me, Nicky, Warrick... Grissom.") and Sara's response (*shakes head* "No, not Grissom."). It showed that, despite evidence to the contrary, they remember what happened in Play With Fire, when Sara asked Grissom out. There was nothing about it before that, even in the episode immediately after. I am a Gil/Sara supporter, but I like continuity. Oh well, here's to next Thursday.

Okay I love this! It pretty much sums up how I feel about having children. I find myself defending my choice to never have children so much right now. One of my girlfriends is engaged, one is hoping for a ring soon and a few others are living with their boys, so they're getting... domestic. *shudders* Last night I found myself having to defend my choice yet again to two of the aformentioned girls.

Don't get me wrong. I generally like kids. I just want to play with them and give them back after, like, ten minutes. I just don't want them. And please don't tell me that I'm too young to know and I'll want them later or that you felt the same way and now look! You just LOVE kids and want six. Good for you. I'm happy that having children makes people feel a fufillment they can't imagine living without.

But seriously, I just want to be the cool rockstar aunt. I'll take the kids cool places, fill them with junk, act like a kid with them, have fun and then send them back saying "Aunt Justine is the best! I want to go live with her!" (That is the true measure of a kid's love, if they want to live with you forever. I'm serious. My cousins want to live with me.)

Yeah, I know it's entering it's fourth season. I've been watching it for a few years, but now I'm really getting into it. I own the Season One and Season Two DVDs and I've converted at least four people. My old roommates Mike and Lyle were easy wins. I popped Season One in and *Boom*! Soon it was "Justine, can we put CSI in?" We once watched six episodes in a row. Yes, I am aware of how pathetic that sounds. Next, I turned my cousin, Lauren, on to it. She's fourteen, but I figure you can never start them too soon. Most recently, my ex-coworker, Frances has been drawn into the web.

Okay, so I still have a few problems with the Buffy season finale. SPOILER WARNING, but really, it's been four days.

Still having a problem with every potential slayer having superpowers. The Voice-over said that every girl in the world who could possibly be the Slayer now has her strength. Does that mean there are thousands of girls out there who can twist doorknobs off? Babies who throw their rattles across the house? There must be hundreds, if not thousands of Potential Slayers from infancy to eighteen, which I suspect is the cut-off age because Kennedy has to be at least that or Willow's cradle robbing. Does this mean every time one of them dies another girl inherits the power? I hesitate to say Chosen because before it implied being chosen specially, the only one. Hmph, I don't like it.

Also, I think there's going to some serious reprecussions from the whole bloody town of Sunnydale falling into a crater. For starters, everybody's everything is gone. Yes, I know they're happy they're alive and not taken over by evil, but later won't they find themselves needing Willow and Giles' one of a kind book collection? Or be missing money and a place to live? Or the graves and bodies of their friends? I think I'd need closure if I were Xander. Plus, I think I'd have been more emotional, but hey, that's just me. I'm betting some of the Junior Misses had some things from their families they'd have wanted to keep, what with never seeing them again. If I were Buffy, I'd have wanted Mr. Pointy. Yes, I seem materialistic, but frankly, I think too much and this is what came to mind.

If they can drag the season six opener Bargaining I and II into two hours, the finale Chosen was at least deserving of it. Y'know, I really should have taped it. At least do I could go back and rewatch this funny scene with Millie (oops, I mean Amanda. Damn TWoP), Andrew, Giles and Xander playing D&D. There's a really funny line I can't remember, but hopefully Ace and Sep willl think it's funny and include it in the recap at Televison Without Pity.

I think that spreading the power of the Slayers like that was.... odd. What does this mean? There are freakishly strong girls running around now? There's no such thing as a Potential or The Slayer? Anyone with the training can now go out an slay, not to mention what girls with no idea of what a Slayer is will be like. Yes, some will use it for good, like the girl who stopped a slap aimed at her, but it could cause a lot more trouble. At least it's another spin-off idea. Buffy and the (remaining) Scoobs travel the world looking for Supergirls to set them on the right path. Hmm, I see lots of girl guest stars. (Me!) Heh.

So, what did you all think?

Last night I bailed on seeing The Matrix Reloaded to go see Down With Love. Before you express your surprise, let me explain. I worked til 7:15 last nite. My friends were seeing it in Delta, which means a bus and skytrain trip of about an hour and a half, depending on catching the busses in due time. So, I don't get to Delta til maybe 8:30 or so. I haven't eaten, I'll have to stand in line for another hour for the ten o'clock show. I just wasn't in the mood for all that bother. I'll go see it in my own time, maybe drag someone else. Plus, Ewan McGregor is in Down With Love. It's a take on the old 60's movies and that's right up my alley. All I wanted last night was a light fun movie I wouldn't have to analyze in depth later.

Okay, so DWL rocked. It was funny and clever and so cute. If you don't know, it's about Barbara Novak (Renee Zellweger) who writes a book called Down With Love. It's about women saying "Down With Love" and focusing all their energies on the workplace and just having sex 'a la carte', not for love. Ewan McGregor plays Catcher Block, the star jounalist at Know Magazine. He's the ultimate 'man's man, woman's man, man about town' and refuses to do a story on Barbara because he thinks she's an ugly spinster. She tells him off, by phone(they do the funniest split screen phone convos) and he gets intrigued. He vows to his editor (hilarious, but to type, David Hyde Pierce) he'll do an exposé on her and make the DWL girl fall for him. He puts on a very funny southern accent and glasses and plays Major Zip Martin. Hijinks ensue.

It was such a funny movie and Ewan and Renee have the cutest 60's duet over the credits, so stick around for that. Half the theater stood up, then sat down again to watch. Ewan looked so very fine, except I hated the way his pants looked. Thankfully he kept the swoon-worthy Scottish accent and suitably mangled the southern one. Plus, they had him in various states of undress many times, including a towel. Very nice.

With this, Ewan has now been moved back onto The List and straight to number two. Sean Biggerstaff is still number one.

Okay, so I had a neat dream last night. It was very back to high school. I was hanging out there, in the dram and music rooms and we were just chilling and singing and stuff, like we always did. It was as if it was the year after I graduated, because most of us were there and so was the year below us, who were now grade twelves. My voice must have been off, scratchy or something, but Dr James and Mr Vint said something about 'this is why we picked two people for Nancy' and I wanted to cry, but I kept smiling. (In Oliver in 2001, me and another girl shared the role) Then, later, they must have asked us to be in the current play(which was an odd meld of Oilver and Fiddler on the Roof, but the other girl (who's name I won't print) was playing Nancy solo. I was in a crowd scene and I was wearing the Nancy dress we shared, while she wore the chorus outfit we wore on our off nights. For some reason, she needed my rings for Nancy and I forked them over.

After the play was over, we were in the girls locker room (which didn't look like this; too much Bring it On, I think) and I went in for my rings. She gave them back, but then we must have started taunting each other, 'cause she challenges me to go for it. I don't remember what we said, but it must have been laced with explatives. I excused myself to put on shoes and then I promptly kicked her ass. I remember delivering a few awesome punches and she got me once or twice too. We ended up on the floor, me sitting on her chest, knees on her arms, gloating. That made me feel better, I can tell you that. I gave a parting shot that must have been really witty and cool, 'cause everyone went 'ooo', then I left.

That was pretty much the best part of my day, aside from the kickass West Wing episode. I went home sick from work, which shows you how sick I actually was. I hate doing that. I feel guilty for making Adi work my shift and hers, but I was going to be of no help to her; that's pretty much the only reason I went home. I felt guilty about being no help and guilty about going home. So, I went home, had some soup and slept until 6 to watch the Cancuks spectacular defeat. Seriously, is this the same team? I needn't have gotten up. They will prevail, though. Game 7 will be different, a return to the beginning of this series and the end of the last. Go Canucks.

I am, like, the worst poster ever. I keep meaning to, then I check my email which shows I've got a review for my Harry Potter fanfic, which means I have to go read what the nice person wrote, which leads to me checking what's new at Fiction Alley, then getting wrapped up in one of Arianna's stories, then posting a review, then adding a chapter to my HP fic and then I have to go to bed.

Looking at that above, I look lame.

So, last night's Buffy episode... Gee, I hate Caleb. He killed Molly!! I liked her! It's just Kennedy left now, of the three Giles brought. Annabelle was killed by the Uber-vamp and now Molly... I hate it when the girls die. I feel protective of them. I was upset when Chloe committed sucide because of the First and I don't think she was honoured very well by the Scoobs. Buffy blew her death off like a stupid lesson to scare the other Potentials into line. Grr.

But, yay, Faith! She looks different; her hair's lighter and so is her make up and I think her face is softer too. I heard she gave up smoking, but she must have started again, 'cause she sounds husky. I liked the scene with her and Spike in the basement. Two former baddies bonding over smokes. Funfun.

I feel really bad for Xander. He's been working at this so hard for seven years and he loses an eye to a twisted, manipulative, murdering SOB. He lost Jesse to vampires, he lost a lot of confidence over the years, he lost Anya at the alter, he lost Tara as a friend and almost lost Willow and the world numerous times. He had a horrible home life. Him and Jonathone were the two I wanted to see walk away from Sunnydale whole in body, mind and spirit. We lost that hope with Jonathon a few months ago, but I had such hope for Xander. It almost makes me want to cry.

Just saw Players, the latest Angel ep. I had to download it because it didn't play on the new VI on Tues nite. Hmmph. Anyway, saw it and loved it. I mean we go from Faith to the ever sexy Gwen aka Electro-girl. My week just got better, I'll tell you. Any how, Kris asked on the Tagboard what we thought Cordy's giveaway was. I think it was either Conner or the gang isn't as clueless as they usually are. They picked up a vibe, followed a hunch and it paid off. If Cordy had been good, she wouldn't have gone down with a knife to kill Lorne, the gang would have been happy to have been wrong and Lorne could say the spell didn't work.

Now, Gwen and Gunn.. I gotta say, I like it. She doesn't treat him like 'the muscle'. She doesn't know his whole history and has a fresh view of him, different then how Fred and Co see him. Aside from the physical attraction, Gwen's funny, smart and Gunn takes her for who she is. All his friends are 'freaks', so it doesn't bother him; in fact it's par for the course. I'd almost like to see this play out nicely. Fred can keep Wes. He's sexy in his own way and they're on the same nutty level.

It may be that it's four am and I haven't slept yet, but I don't think I've gone into my occasional reviews as much before. How retrospective of me. *grin*

Okay, so there's war. Last week I was really upset about the prospect and I called my mom to reassure me that everything is okay. She assured me that it was okay, that I was safe and everything. The thing I guess she didn't get was that I'm not worried about me. I live in Canada; we're not joining the war until they attack Ottawa or the UN says 'sure, go ahead'. I'm worried about the world and humanity and people. I don't want people to die. But hey, what do I know. I'm just a silly girl who wants the whole world to get along.

I've cried enough for today. I'm turning off CNN and going to watch Moulin Rouge for the 62nd time.

WARNING!!! Possible HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN FILMING SPOILERS.

GRRRRAAHHH! I am so upset right now! I just found out that Oliver Wood and probably Quiddich has been cut from Prisoner of Azkaban. There aren't words to describe how angry I am. I love Sean Biggerstaff (his accent is so sexy) and Quiddich is my favorite part of the Harry Potter movies! Not only am I trying to wrap my mind aroud PoA without Sean, but I'm trying to figure out how exactly their going to keep the story intact. Oliver's obsession with winning the cup is great comic relief and how exactly are they supposed to win the House Cup without the Quiddich Cup? There's supposed to be the huge Quiddich game against Slytherin with dirty tactics and fuuuuun! Does this mean no more Quiddich Girls? Katie, Alicia and Angelina are my favorite characters, even though they're considered minors. If Joanne Rawling is so dedicated to preserving the books, how can she really let such a glaring plot hole go by?

There is a petition to show our displeasure as fans. It probably won't save Oliver Wood or Sean Biggerstaff, but it will let Warner Brothers know how upset we are. Thanks to Mugglenet.com and Princess Arianna from FictionAlley.org. I'm signee number 12875. It's just not good without Wood.

Yay! Saturday rocked! G-Force performed at NowTV's Stand Up Speak Out anti bullying forum on Sat. We did five songs: I Am Who I Am, All Of This Time, Mesmerize, Desire and Can't Get Over You.

It's kinda weird; like, who would wany my autograph? I'm just Justine. There were some very sweet fans and we got a lot of wonderful feedback and support.

Faith is back!!! My Faith is back! That was an alright episode made wonderful by Faith being back. Okay, it was still okay, but I just wanted to overlook it. It was waay crazy making Cordy the 'Master' and even creepier at the end with Conner. I think his crush on Faith is cute. He likes girls who take charge, I guess. I guess they finally had to address the way Charisma was looking. Have you noticed how they've been dressing her exclusively in dark colours and nothing but jackets. Plus, never any body shots when they can get away with it. Funny.
