*7 HOURS 22 MINUTES UNTIL SURVIVOR 4*
It's finaly here. Survivor in all it's wonderful glory... I can barely contain myself.. Just found a usefull site incase you wanted pictures and bios of the cast just click here. Hard to say who I'll fall in love with this time..You're still a cutie Ethan but your sooo Survivor 3....I'm going to bake some cookies to celebrate the occasion..Life will finaly be back to normal.
So I had the interview today, at 09h00. I was up at 05h30 (thanks puppy), and took a 06h30 train into town, I know it's waaaayyy early but I wanted to do my make-up at the last possible moment so it would look fresh..So I get into town at like 07h20 and spend a good 30 minutes fixing my face up and thinking about what I'm going to say and panicking and getting anxious..I followd the directions up to the place where the interviews were being held and I was the first to arrive, 25 minutes early....So I waited. As it turned out it was a small group, just four other girls and myself (one potentially nice girl, one quiet one, and two snobs)..The questions were routine and there were only 4 questions asked, two in english, two in french, and we had to answer in the language that the question was asked in. I was the only one who was bilingual enough to actually answer in the appropriate language (sue-1, snobby girls-0). The questions were like what do you consider good customer service? and stuff like that, really based on servce as opposed to make-up know-how questions, of course I know all about customer service, I mean anyone who works at the Gap will know about that.. So I think it went well. We had to put up our hands when we wanted to answer instead of going one at a time so I made sure to answer 1st, 2nd and 3rd but never last...I'm telling you some of those girls were giving me the old up and down especially this one girl from Mexico who could barely talk french OR english and answered every question the same: "I love make-up and I have lots of schooling and experience in this field and I have my portfolio here for you to look at..blah blah blah.." and another girl couldn't stop yawning and sat all laid back with her arm crossed and always answered last.... I think it went well, I had good answers to all their questions and they seemed pleased but I wont find out for at least three weeks what's going to happen. I went to thank Cathy after the interview and gave her my free Khaki gift certificate to thank her for everything and she said she'd try and find out sooner if I was going to be called back for a second interview....My fingers are crossed.
Gotta eat smiles and bake cookies....

*24 HOURS UNTIL SURVIVOR AND CUTE STARVING GUYS*
Well as it turn out I got a call from Cathy (the M.A.C girl who offered me a job, she not a manager, she's actually a trainer) and she says that they will be expecting me tommorow at 09h00...I felt so nervous and guilty talking to her on the phone at wok, I felt like I was hidding something, I guess I am but it's not like I have the job yet...yet. When I do then I'll worry about telling people. Anyways so I asked Cathy if I could go see her and show her my C.V and cover lette and when I got there she took me out for coffee and we talked about how much I want this and how much she wants this for me, then she asked my last name and I told her and she said that after she had called the office to set me up for an interview, they called back and said that I was already on the list of people to call... They had kept my C.V from last year when I first applied!..So know everyone knows I'm gonna be there..It's so cool of Cathy to instill so much confidence in me, I mean she has no reason to do all this, she doesn't know me or owe me anything, she even told me to lie and write that I ahve been taking private lessions with her....I guess you really do gotta have faith-a -faith-a-faith.
Yep, I'm nervous now, real nervous. Anyone who knows me knows how nervous I am... I'm nervous waking up for Christ's sake....Now I have to go through an group interview for and hour or so, you can imagine my stomach right now....Pepto Bismol to the rescue, I'd better make sure I have good quantities cause I'm sure I'll need it.
Alright, I'd better head off to bed soon, still have to review my cover letter and C.V and eat dinner and try on clothes, practive my make-up.....
Oh God, I think I'm gonna barf.

*48 HOURS UNTIL SURVIVOR AND JEFF PROBST'S DIMPLES*
Alright since there were no submissions for Topic Tuesdays due hopefully to short notice and not to lack of participation....
There is something that did happen today that I really want to talk about. One of those good news bad news deals..of course.
After work I went to the M.A.C make-up counter at the Bay and was just going to say hi to my friend David who works there and make an exchange... Now because I go often enought I kind of know everyone that works there, not on a name to name bassis but they all know my face and I know theirs. So this girl Cathy, whom I met around my birthday last year was there and David introduced us and I mentioned that we had aready met the year before and mentioned how she complimented me on my make-up that day and my tattoos and whatever, she remembered me so she says "Why aren't you working here?" and I said " I ask myself that same question" anyways we got into this hole talk about how I've always wanted to work there and little did I know that she's an assistant manager, so she mentioned that they are having interviews this week and she makes a call to the big bosses at their head office and says that she's sending me to the interview and that she really wants me to work there (the Bay) and I have a cool style and love make-up and she highly recomends me. So anyways, she's calling me tommorow to let me know if I actually have the interview....That's the good news.
Now the bad.
The unfortunate news is that hypothetically speaking, say I get the interview, it would be thursday morning, meaning that I would have to lie to work to be able to go. That's not really the bad news, but this is: I can't even imagine leaving Anita. I mean this girl has been there with me through it all (for the last 4 years of my life anyway) and the thought of not seeing her as much, no lunch clubs and no move-and-pick thursday just makes me really sad, Just typing it now makes me cry a little. I was so happy after I left the Bay but on the train ride home I got to thinking about all this and I started to cry. Now I know that the friendship me and Anita have is strong and will last through anything, I mean if she can be my friend throught my menstrual periods then I know that we'll be okay. I realize I'm talking like I'm leaving the freaking country but ity's kind of what it would feel like. Although say I do get the job, I would only be doing it partime and therefore keep my job at Gap. And I know that Anita would be sorta happy for me but at the same time I kind of thouht that we'd leave the Crap together.. I know I make us sound like lesbian lovers but she's my closest friend, my best friend and I can't imagine working with anyone else but her, ever....
Whew....I think I typed all that in like 25 seconds because I'm so nervous/happy. I really needed to get it out. I'm reall excited but at the same time I'm scared to death about doing something new. I'm not the type to try new things, I enjoy familiarity and comfort....I'm totally talking ahead of myself I mean I don't even know if I've got the interview for sure...
Life eh?
Oh yeah thanks for the awesome card Aimee...very cute

*3 DAYS UNTIL SURVIVOR*
Sorry if that link test disturbed you....Although I'm sure it didn't, that's the scarry part. I'm not sure what happens to the earth's axis or whatever on mondays but gee wiz time was going backwards. I must have looked at my watch like 500 times and it kept saying 10h30,10h30,10h30....At least Aniter was as bored as me and we kept eachother going all day. Actually the day was pretty interesting for all of 5 minutes when my iron decided to freak out and shock me not inches away from my womanhood causing a black burn mark on my jeans, the iron then proceded to smoke and go "ZZZzzzZZZzzZzZAP!", and a little poof of smoke came out of it and then it died....Death by iron, how embarassink! Although I was freaked out by the event, I later found it pretty funny plus I got to go out to the Bay to buy a new one and we all know what favorite store of mine is at the Bay right? That's right the M.A.C counter....I didn't stay long, just long enought to chat and catch up, no more than 10 minutes I swear...sorry Anita.
I'm going to start some new fun here to keep things interesting. I'm calling it:
TOPIC TUESDAYS
That's right topic tuesdays, the only day of the week that will be devoted to discussing topics that you the reader will submit to me. You can submit your requests to me by clicking here! So get thinking cause tommorow is already tuesday and if you want your topic discused then you'd get on the ball.

Just a test, thanks warren

*4 DAYS UNTIL SURVIVOR*
There are only 4 days to go until the new Survivor and there hasn;t been much talking about it. Mind you that I haven't been keeping up with my Acess Hollywood and Entertainment tonight....What's going on? I need my character bio's and picures so I can start to pick and choose who I'm gonna like... I guess I'll just have to wait until thursday like everyone else.
Canada won the Olympic hockey game today! It was VERY exciting, my mum and I had fun watching it together. She was going crazy screaming and yelling and dancing around when we scored (gotta love her) I'm no hockey fan and I only sorta know the rules and I RARELY watch a game but this was the exception....Makes me want to go rent NHL 2002 for my PS2. Very exciting.
Monday tomorrow, that means work. It's my turn to do lunch club so the menu will be as follows:
-terriyaki pinapple tofu on rice
-oranges
-oreo no bake treats
Lunch club movie: Vacation.
I slept in until 13h00 today, I guess I was making up for the 4 hours I slept the night before. I was talking to my sister in law today and she mentioned that she was reading my blogs and enjoying them but I see now how blogs could potentiaslly be dangerous. Since everyone is reading my blog, they don't need to call me or e-mail, they kow what I've been up to all week so why call? The last thing I want is to loose all small talk capabilities...Nothing worse than talking on the phone and telling a story and the person on the other line says; " yeah I know I read it on your blog..." not good. I'd better watch out and leave some things unsaid so I still have things to talk about..
Brother Lucas lent me the soundtrack from "I am Sam" amd I have to say that I'm really enjoying it. I had no idea that it was all Beatle covers...
My movie last night (Jay and Silent Bob strike back) was awesome. A total no-brainer-stoner-movie. If you like a lot and I mean a LOT of swearing and burn out stoners then you'll love this movie, for some reason I felt very attracted to Jay...strange.
The Olympics will be closing this evening and that's fine with me, not that I didn't enjoy them while they were on but I don't like sports that much plus it was interfearring with regular t.v. and PS2 time. But on the bright side it kept me occupied until Survivor....Oh how I miss Jeff Probst and his dimples.

*5 DAYS UNTIL SURVIVOR*
Last night was girls night at my friend Marnie's place. We had a great time chatting and painting our nails, looking at pictures and watching "Heathers"....always a good movie, we decided that this will be our costume for this hallowe'en. It was really nice just to get together and talk, but I have to admit that last night I felt young...I don;t usually feel this way but since the other girls that were there are 28+, I felt a little young and not as mature or smart as they are.. I realize that this is totally stupid to be feeling this way but I can't help it sometimes. They are all so set in their lives (or appear to be) and I feel that I should be going somewhere or doing something with my life instead of working at the friggin' Gap 35 hours a week.I guess you could say that I'm envious of where they are in their lives. I realize that they have a few years on me but I still feel I'm not doing anything to better myself...
Enough about that. I stayed downtown with Anita and we got in only at 04h00 or so and I had to get up at 08h00 to catch a 09h00 train, needless to say that I'm wiped out. My plan this evening is to make some dinner, watch "Jay and Silent Bob strike back", eat snacks, watch SNL and retire to my warm and cozy bed....The perfect saturday.

*7 DAYS UNTIL SURVIVOR*
I've realized something today-Blogs are actually fun, as dumb as they may seem, I really enjoy writing in here, infact, I look foward to it at the end of my day. I'll admit that I started a Blog only as a joke because I couldn't figure out why so many people would think that what they ate for breakfast was so important tot the rest of the world....Then I realized that this is a great way of keeping in touch with my family and friends without having to write seperate e-mails.....If you want toknow what's up with me, then you can check it out for yourself! I mean who am I to think that anyone BUT the people I told this to about would read my site? I'm no one important to the world. I'm no writer or poet..I don't have a clue what to say most of the time, but I still can't wait to get home and post an entry.
That aside, my day at work was "sluggish-like a wet sponge". Anita wasn't there so I was a little lonely, but I had Spiro (manager) to eat lunch with and we watched Tom and Jerry cartoons so it was fun...Afterwards I went to "Boutique Seduction" with Sylvie and she bought some things for her return trip to Switzerland (she's gone for only a week). We went out to eat and th I came home and baked some oreo treats for the girls night tomorrow.. I was going to bake cookies too but now it's getting late and I really need to get to bed early cause this morning I got up at 06h30 instead of my regular 05h50..needless to say, my morning was rushed and I don't like that...I'm going to have some tea, bengali spice tea, relax infront of the t.v, choose wardrobe for tomorow incase I wake up late again and go to bed....Friday at last...

Oh Hickory Sticks- where have you been my entire life? Why haven't I tasted you? Why was I so reluctant to try you? You and your specially selected potatoes, hydrogenated vegetable oil, seasonings, articicial AND natural flavours... I was always so affraid that you would taste like bacon chips or pickles...dunno why I never gave you a chance. But now I see the light.... Every bite a taste sensation, like perfect little french fries in my mouth..So many of you in a bag but it never seems like enough...Thank you Frito-Lay, thank you....
So I've been enjoying my new favorite snack...a lot I might add. They were my dinner last night and they were part of dinner tonite...Can't get enough of them, now I see what the fuss is all about...
My day went as usual, although I had lots of trouble waking up this morning, infact this is the most awake I've felt all day and I should be getting to bed! It seems that I wasn;t the only one though, everyone was feeling sleepy, must be the weather....
Went shopping after work. I'm forever in search of the perfect hoodie. I don't know why it's so hard, it's not like I'm asking for much. As long as it's:
-cozy
-long enough in the body
-long enough in the arms
-fitted
-has a hood
-zipper optional
If it's got all that, then it's good...But so far I have to say that I've been very disapointed in the selection downtown...
This new CHOM is awesome... I don't even bring CD's into work anymore.. I can listen to it without the worry of Britney or Ricky Martin ruining my day...
It's girls night on friday. A friend of mine has organized an all girls night at her place, should be lots of fun... We're doing that tipical girl stuff, hair, make-up, nails, gossip, movie, drinking....I miss those nights so it should be good fun for everyone...

Well i'm glad to see that people are visiting my site, even though I told you all to.....Either way, please sign my guestbook, just scroll down alittle further and you will see it.
I stayed home from work today, my back was sore and since my job require plenty o' lifting, I thought it would be best to stay home and recoup rather than potentially hurt myself even more. I tried and tried all day to figure out how to make the poll, counter and guestbook part of my page and not just another entry....I asked for assistance from bravenet and they said I should check out the "how-to" section on copy and paste...c'mon what am I stupid? I KNOW how to freaking copy and paste...I just don;t really know how to build a site...Considering this is my first time, I think I'm doing alright..Thanks for all your votes by the way..If anyone can help me figure out how to solve my site-building problems, e-mail me at: samurai_sue@hotmail.com
Your help is appreciated...
So I was woken up by puppy this morning, as usual. She does this thing where she'll lick and scratch and whine until you get up and then while your in the bathroom, she'll get cozy in the warm spot in the bed and go to sleep, she'll growl if you try and move her...I guess they don't call them bitches for nothing.
Spent most of the day eating toast and nutella, watching t.v and reading magazines and thinking about what to make for lunch club tommorow.. I finally decided on tofu stir-fry on chinese noodles with fortune cookies which I'm about to make....
Uhg, just heard it's gonna be freezing rain tommorow....that's never a good thing.
It's time to sign off if I'm ever going to get those cookies made and the laundry done..Still have to figure out what movie to watch during lunch club tommorow...
Since I was at home all day, not much happened but I'm sure that tommorow will bring all sorts of gossip.... until then
now I've gone and muked things up again, someday I promiss I'll get then hang of this..If you can't scroll down to the guestbook then you can get to it by clicking on the "archives", you'll get to it then.....sorry

Well, I survived... It wasn't quite a s bad as I tought it would be but I was still right about a some stuff:
1) Birthday girl was late, 30+ minutes late
2) Went out to eat, food was late, so we were even more late
3) Went to bar #1 and met snobby-cheese-ball-boom-boom girls I don't know who gave me the up and down
At least the girl I went twith didn't feel like going to bar #2 and we went home. Got home at aout 2am... The cheesy girls wanted to stay at bar #1 (a flashback to the 80's bar, could have been worse) untit 1h30 and then go to the boom-boom bar after, but we just paid a $5 admission and we were there for a half hour but they expected us to go out to another place to pay a $7 cover and stay for an hour....sorry.
All in all it was okay fun, would have been better had my leather boots not ripped, but now I have the excuse to buy new ones..right?
Coulnd't sleep when I got home so I stayed up watching late night t.v until 4am... "Medicine Man" with Sean Conery was on....can anyone say boring?
It's already past noon now and I havent done one single thing with the exception of trying to add a counter to this site and update it and check my e-mail....I guess I shoud do something a little more productive like clean and laundry....But first a little ps2 should get me in the mood to clean..Nothing like a little Grand Theft Auto III to get your blood pumping.

It has been brought to my attention that I need to write a little more frequently....Since I only aim to please my heards of fans..your wish is my command. Work has been relatively busy for me.. My friend Anita and I started a lunch club.. Where one of us brings the other lunch every other day. The purpose to this is to save money and eat better. We've even added a movie time. Our lunch breaks are an hour so we get to watch only segments of the movie but it's a great way to spend lunch hour..way better than eating in the food court in the mall where a friggin' sandwich and drink costs $7.61....We are already into week two of linch club and there have been no re[eat lunches and we are still into it..However, I know deep down that we wont keep this up forever. We all know how that goes..It's just a phase, we'll grow out of it.
I'm suposed to go out this evening with a friend. It's another friends birthday and it seems that my attendance is manditory even though the birthday girl hasn't called me in two years nor has she ever in the past been around for any of my birthdays... I'm sure the eveing will go as follows:
17h30-18h00: figuring out what outfit doesn't make me look like a whale, shower
18h00-18h30: application of make-up
18h30-19h00: waiting for birhtday gil to call and tell me where to meet
19h00-19h30:birthday girl in question is always late..sooo late
20h00-21h00: eat at st-eustache restaurant...nuf said
22h00-23h00:go to bar #1 to meet other friends I don;t know or care about
23h00-01h00: gp to bar #2 to listen to cheesy boom-boom dance crap and pretend to have a good time....
When all I really want to do is
17h00-18h00: watch simpsons on global
18h00-19h00: eat dinner
19h00-01h00: watch crappy saturday tv until SNL at 23h00 and then go to bed
all the above activities are done in my pj's and big lamb slippers..shower optional
sigh, what friends will do for one another......she'd better remember this when I want something....
Will let you know how my evening went soon

Alright...entry number 2. I waited a while before I wrote again to create some suspense to ALL my readers, I am sure that you are anxiously waitting what will happen next!? What has Sue been doing? Where has she been? Dear God I MUST fing out what a complete stranger has been doing. Well, I've been working. I work at a clothing store making the displays.. I dress dummies. It's great fun by the fun usually ends when a certain manager walks in... I wont name names of course but trut me. She's a bitch.
PIcture it: She's about 5'6, 95 pounds, long witch like blond hair and a shark tooth.. All she does is walk around and twirl her hair and yap on the phone.. I swear. this woman does not work and is happy to admit it.. My primary goal is to get her outta there... Somehow I know I will....
So on the early show this morning they gave us a sneak peak for the new survivor..... You have the usual collage of people.. The heavy set lesbian, the girl witht the big tits, boy bartenders, muscle-man, older "know it all" man and woman, and the nature loving hippy-moon-child..... Only three more weeks of boring thursday t.v and then SURVIVOR.....
can't wait
