Makeover, Makeover

Welcome to the new and not so improved world of Keltie’s Blog!

Anyway, it has been an interesting couple of weeks. I’ve been getting into my classes, bitching about women’s studies to anyone who will listen (what a complete waste of my time. Seriously, it is a total gong show), and most importantly, GETTING READY FOR THE NEW FAIT ACCOMPLIT SEASON! That’s right my friends, fait accomplit is once again upon us. And here is the typical Keltie push for all my talented friends to get involved:

C’mon! Get yourself published! You get to be artistic and pompous, how can you possibly go wrong?

It’s a great deal of work and I will likely be bitching about it all semester, but God help me, I love it.

Anyway, more later. Adios!

You wanna rumble?

Why do I even have a blog??

Okay, I’m a huge slacker. I’ve been busy, all right? I’ve been learning how to cook! Boo-yeah. Thus far, I’ve made a few successful dishes, some with chicken and one with beef! I have some chicken breasts marinating right now, I’m so psyched that I know how to make/use a marinade. This is the girl who fucked up kraft dinner, okay? And a week ago I was basting my white wine chicken with a honey glaze. HA!!! Anyway, if you’re wondering what prompted this whole ‘Keltie is learning how to cook’ venture, I decided that since I clearly suck at stats, I had better tackle something else that I suck at and master it. I mean, I’m still scared that I might poison Geoff or out and out slice my hand off (Jordan cringes when I cut up veggies. In fact, yesterday he outright refused to watch because he was convinced that I was going to slice my thumb off. I showed him, though. All appendages are intact!) but overall it’s a nice feeling of accomplishment to learn how to cook.

Our Epcore bill is outrageous. The price of gas is outrageous. The price of decent food and groceries is outrageous. The price of my textbooks is outrageous. It seems like the only numbers that aren’t increasing are the ones on my paycheques. I can’t wait till I’m done school.

I’ve been feeling scrappy lately. There’s this girl who works with Geoff, and she has proven to be the thorn in everyone’s side. I met her once…she’s one of those people that you instantly dislike, and become forever branded as a tryhard or a total bitch. Anyway, turns out that she’s doing Geoff’s boss, and as we all know, sex is the best way to hold power over weak men. So the boss has pretty much become her puppet, and she’s making life miserable for several installers, including Geoff. At one point, she told Geoff to ‘fuck off’. Nobody speaks to Geoff like that. Nobody treats someone important to me like that, particularly when they’re a vapid waste of space. So this just made me mad, something that’s sorta bad when I’m feeling restless and scrappy. All I wanted to do was drive down to Geoff’s work, get in a calm fight with her, get her to make it into a screaming match, and then take her out. Seriously. I realized through my fury that this was an all-around bad idea. So I have to content myself with the idea that I’ll run into her in a bar, or better yet, a dark ally. To give you perspective on just how much everyone dislikes this woman, I’m going to insert a quote that one of the installers said to her;

“Why do you godda bother me when I’m working? Do I take dicks out of your mouth when YOU’RE working??”

Golden. It’s crude, but witty.

I still feel scrappy.
