So let's talk about some nice things first. Like my parents have decided to start my 'hope chest,' which is collecting things I'll need when I move out. So far, I have twelve glasses, plates, bowls, mugs, and cutlery. It's pretty awesome. We were looking at Next to New today and we saw a really nice table and four chairs for three hundred dollars. I also saw a couch and loveseat combo for a thousand. But I think I'll concentrate on getting my books for school first, which I am really really looking forward to.

      In other news, I ordered the Waking the Fallen CD at A&B Sound yesterday. Yay. I guess I'm late bloomer for good music. I've seen Janelle a bit, and I really want to go dancing tonight, but I don't know where she is. She's really one of the few people who actually wants to go clubbing. Well... except Phil, but he stopped by the store randomly and was like, "can you keep up with my moves?" It was actually rather funny, but I don't exactly want to hang out, best buds style with him.

      Hmm, Niki has just invited me to go to the Cambie tonight, but I wish to go DANCING. I suppose we shall head over to the topic of the title. Let's begin with a dude called Mike. Mike has done some awesome things for me, like taught me to drive standard, installed my stereo, stood up for me when the Phil thing happened. FOR WHICH I HAVE SAID MANY TIMES, I AM VERY THANKFUL. Anyways, Phil got a job at Slegg Lumber, which is where Mike works. Suddenly Phil is calling my cell everyday to complain about Mike, and trying to get me to tell him to back off. And Mike is e-mailing me about how annoying Phil is, and implying that he thinks I'm lying about the entire Phil incident.

      So anyways, when Phil called, I told him I didn't want anything to do with it. They're both adults and should be able to handle it themselves. So when Mike e-mailed me again, I said thank-you for standing up for me, I sincerly appreciate it, but I don't want to be some middle person in this, you guys can act like adults. I don't see how I said anything wrong? I don't want two grown men complaining to me daily about each other, especially when neither of them is really a friend of mine. Like I don't talk to either of them, so I don't see how complaining to me is going to resolve anything. I don't want to be a part of this fight, but I did thank Mike for standing up for me, and I forgave Phil for what happened. Like, can we just drop it now? If you guys still have a problem with each other... that's your problem.

      Also, they keep telling me, "oh everyone hates Phil," or "everyone hates mike, he's going to get fired," business. I DON'T GIVE A SHIT. Just do your goddammed job and leave me out of it. I don't really want to relive that over and over everyday because two men are too prideful or whatever to just stay out of each other's faces. Or lie to me, whichever one it is, I don't care. So anyways, after I sent Mike the e-mail saying thank you for everything, but this is no longer my problem, please leave me out of it, he wrote me back asking for Phil's address and whatnot, which I wouldn't give him, and saying that I was a "real piece of work." WHERE THE FUCK does he get off saying that about me. So I got super pissed and wrote back, what the fuck is your problem, and I don't know what [she] sees in you (cause you're being a complete asshole). To which I just recieved this reply:

      "She sees a great guy, just like everyone else. You just can't see past yourself. You don't remember stuff like when i come over with no purpose other than installing your deck for you, and how quickly I jumped to your defence. Oh, and by the way, your history of people like dan and phil doesn't exactly speak to you being a good judge of character."

      Word for word. I just copied that out of the e-mail. Now I know what Keith's beef with Mike is all about. He makes absolutely no sense. I SAID I was greatful for those thing, none of that is my problem! I just wanted to be left out of his Phil beef. And then my judge of character? What does that even have to do with anything? I DON'T WANT TO BE IN THIS CONFLICT!? I'm not dating or talking to either of them anymore... I don't even think his e-mail made any sense. Anyways, I'm just ignoring it because I don't want a part in this, and I'm not going to pick a fight with my best friend's boyfriend, because I care about my best friend, which is why she knows exactly what I think of her choice.

      Oh, and Candace, if you have any problem with what's going on, and think that I've done something wrong, please come talk to me so that you don't get one half of the story, because God only knows that won't be the truth. Frig, so that's my last few days. Well... in other news, Chris is going on like no sleep lately and consequently being super moody, even if he doesn't notice it. Some other people have noticed it as well, but he gets really defensive when I mention it. So we were hanging out at Domino's yesterday and he was really grumpy, so some things happened, and I left and went to Timmy's with Keith, where we sat until four am this morning having a really really good talk. Got a lot of things out in the open and it was just really good. I feel a lot better about Keith now, I love him to death, and I can see where he's coming from on a lot of things. It's always better to hear from both people on a story.

      Chris and Josh came in for awhile. Chris and I largely ignored each other, but Josh, Keith, and I talked about the widely controversial topic of what we would do if we had a mentally handicapped child. The nicest suggestions were adoption. Mine didn't go over to well. One being "drop it out of a plane with a parachute over the jungle, and hope it becomes a retarded baby tarzan," to which came Keith and I make retarded sounding Tarzan calls with Keith beating his chest. Ah, what a cruel cruel world we live in. Chris left, and Josh left a little later. Keith and I chilled for quite some time after. A drunk guys was trying to prove to us he was psychic. It was funny. Keith is funny, I love him.

      So hopefully, I will be able to go dancing tonight. Keith said we'll hang again shortly, hopefully with Mark or something this time. Might hang out with Laine and Alanna this weekend, depending on what they're doing. Conservatives rule the country. I hope they do well and I'm pretty excited to see what they do. I hope everyone voted. Call me if someone wants to do something!
