histoires

one of the funniest things i witnessed this week was grandpapa discovering google images.
i wish i would have filmed it...
gp "you mean i can type in beaver, and then it'll show me about 300 pictures of beavers??"
us "well, more like thousands..."
gp "so if i type in raccoon, it'll show me about 300 pictures of raccoons??"
us "well, more like thousands..."
that man.

so my job is decent.
two very bothersome things stood out to me this week though
1. people "shushing". i hate that sound more than anything on this planet, especially when i'm the target.
2. the bathrooms are used by everyone, regardless of the "women" or "men" sign...awks.

i have learned some things about driving and car.
1. newer cars are annoying, i can't tell the difference between heating and the AC, océane knows.
2. driving is one of my favorite activities.
3. i can't wait to own a car.
4. you can make very good friends at red lights
     --example a: océane and i pull up to a red light and see a man singing to "fat bottom girls" by queen. yes, i enjoy that song, but he seemed to enjoy it a whole lot more. you know when people sing along to their music knowing that everyone else is watching, so they try and act cool? yeah, he didn't care at all. the guy had his top down and was singing his little heart out, loud.
     --example b: i myself experienced example a. my car-to-be has no stereo so océane and i must improvise for the time being which resulted in me singing "never say never" by justin bieber, loud. when i pulled to the red light only a few feet ahead, some old lady in the passenger seat turns and looks at me. i try to act cool, but yeah, we all know that's not possible, so i burst out laughing and wave at her. her response: "oh, don't worry. that's a good song!" embarrassing. whether it's more for me or for her i'm not sure yet.

one of the dumb things i said in the past: "i'm so excited to have my own place!! i'll be able to mess it up...and then clean it..." :]

once upon a time, matthieu, kelsey, océane and i went to panda express.
a man was walking around asking people to borrow a phone.
he looked really lost and it was a little sad.
the cashier kindly let him use their store phone, which he did.
he then proceeded to ask other people to borrow a phone.
(i'm guessing he forgot about the one in his hand...)
one guy told him to check at the business next door.
so he did, leaving with the panda express store phone.
yup, just like that.

once upon another time, océane and i went to a paint store so we could take care of the deck.
a man had just finished paying and says,
"so, is anyone going to carry this out for me? (he had about 5 buckets of paint)
it's friday and i don't want to work (why are you here then?)
also, i just got a massage (and...?)"
he then walked out the door.
i blame it on the fact that he was fat and lazy, because he was.
so obnoxious.
