I just had the worst day ever - I did not know what or rather HOW to take it -

I am currently in a class up at University - An Adult Education class - So the hours are warped and whatnot and not really regulated or anything...

So we had a discussion 2day about it and I piped up etc etc

Then as I was clearing my desk to end the day, a classmate of mine turned and asked me, "Are you on Medication?"

I was like, "Pardon Me?"

"Like for your ADHD."

"Oh so now after just these few classes you are not only a Doctor BUT A PSYCHIATRIST?"

"Well I was just wondering if you were, if not, you should be, if you are are, it should be upped - The dosage I mean."

"PARDON ME?"

I wanted to shake her -

PARDON ME

If my life is not

Set up PERFECTLY - Engaged and still living at home etc etc and at 18, (her) life being PERFECTLY organized and planned.

Well SORRY MISSY my life is not as Perfect as Yours Nor am I as Self-Contained as You etc etc Or whatnot - What a F'G putdown.

I am so moving on Monday.

Medication. And I am never speaking again in class. NOPE. Medication my ass.

Hello -

I was just watching a movie with Brendan Fraser and Matt Damon in which Damon is anti-semitic (sp?) and the movie is set in 1955.

It made me sit down and think. I have never dated a Jewish male. Does that make me the same? I just have never met a Jew - I have stepped into a Synagogue ONCE in my life - When I went to one in Vancouver to listen to "The Fonz" aka Henry Winkler speak.

For me Mr. Winkler was The Fonz and that was "it" for me. He spoke for quite awhile and I never laffed so much in my life. Other than noticing how **VERY** good looking Henry is in person and his perfect teeth/smile. That we were the same height/almost

But that he is a GREAT guy

I took time to listen - Did not get all the Jewish jokes - Jewish Princess and all that - But loved the Fonzie stories.

After the speech I sat and watched everyone and reflected - Why are these people as a Whole so hated? Detested? The Holocaust occurred and One lil' weasel of a man wanted to destroy these people?

I left with more questions, and still have, and no I still have not dated a Jewish man. LOL I have not met one. I don't think???

The only other time I came "close" to Jews was only fictionally - I was an extra in a movie and 4 guys, other extras, were dressed as Jewish men in their black garb and hats and "wigs" i.e. ringlets and flat, black hair. Wait it's not a HAT lol

Wow I am so uneducated Forgive me. But the movie made me think. That is a good thing yes?

The only thing I otherwise knew is Jewish men don't get circumsized LOL Or don't celebrate Xmas which as a kid sucked Big Time Okay that was a BIG bad joke.

Well that is my ramble for this evening...

Daydreaming/Writing Today's Thoughts...

wow u bedards/males of note (for me always) luc and pedro-man have soooooooo turned out sooooooooo differently than expected ESPECIALLY luc lol i thought he would be allot of things but not what he has become i am not going to ask how many HE has of tattoos hahaha i have ONE and i designed it myself after my last long-term breakup... blah it was/is to brighten my days ALWAYS tonight? i am stoned, working and listening to george meichel wait no i picked up a lawyer today ROFL so got the itch scratched hahaha at the gym OMG i am so bad hahaha love you always pedro man hahaha charlene i always remember fooling around in the shower with your WHOLE family home OMG hahaha that was NUTS NUTS NUTS but i thought i was "in lub wif the pedro man" so you had me wrapped around your finger and so did all your brothers hahaha until luc was RUDE RUDE RUDE to me and made cry all the way home driving home once then he no longer existed for me HAHAHA

oh wait i can remember you screaming after OMG she cut it off hahaha since a SURPRISE visitor arrived during and yah pedro being pedro had to ANNOUNCE it to the world i just ignored you as best as i could LMAO with a kazillion bedards bugging me hahahaha luc was never too far behind how we never had a menage e trois i will never know wait u 2 must have done that a few times? i am sure? he was close enough whenever i was around hahahaha your baby brother was my fave tho such a cutey and so NOT a loud bedard LMAOOOOOOOO where did he come from hahaha okay enough stoned rambling lol oh i am sitting in front of the fire as well... i threw in a ton of incense into it so it smells rather interesting LOL wow my fri night rocks eh? hahaha your pal forever with love, charlene

the story behind "Pedro Bedard" is that I joined the 735 Communications Reserves" when I was a VERY GREEN 16 year old - Just new to EVERYTHING - - Driving, life, EVERYTHING

Well I joined and met a group of people I would have never met otherwise. The Reserves was home to a variety of ages and I was one of the 2 youngest girls in the group.

I was a Private and very shortly met a Corporal Bedard. Soon to become Pedro or Pedro-Man whenever I wanted to tease him. Well he came from a French Roman Catholic family of 4 and Mom and Dad and so me coming from just me and my bro... It was a very loud household I was entering.

Boisterious IS not the word for the Bedards Happy Joyous High Energy Loud lolol All of that and more. Pedro and Luc were like 9 months apart in birth and so were very alike. Although Pedro caught my heart. BIG TIME. With his silly grin and out-of-this-world sense of humour.

Crazy from the get go. I felt like I stepped onto a rollercoaster and I did not know where the Stop button was.

I just thought Pedro was marvelous and he loved to get me to do things (as me being so "GREEN") And he would put his beret on and say that he was now the Corporal Bedard and I should listen. Needless to say he had not a stitch on otherwise so that command went NOWHERE.

We were fooling around in the basement of his parent's home and everyone had their bedrooms (kids that is) in the basement so Pedro and I having sex amidst that, looking back, is NUTS hahahaha Fast sex everytime Was it loud? I don't remember being LOUD but Luc would mimick me right afterwards So I guess so DAMN hahahaha Or maybe he had his ear to the door Stupid idiot he is hahaha

Was Pedro my first love? He was my only CAREFREE love. No restrictions. There. I just remember being so very happy with him. Who dumped who? We just seemed to peter out. I don't remember a discussion of Go away Char or Go away Pedro LOL Nope. LOL

The KISS That Changed My Life...

Wow THE KISS that immediately comes to mind with such a heading is...

My very very very very very BESTEST kiss ever - Is the following;

I had "just" in the last year moved to B.C. and had not given up very much from Manitoba - A particular MAN in particular... Jim Baldwin - James Curtis Baldwin...

I flew back to Manitoba to see Jim and this was when he was attending University of Manitoba... To become a teacher. To save expenses, he was on a student loan, and STARVING lol He was living in a VERY VERY VERY illegal suite, a one room in a basement of a very dated/small house. But the basement had a shower in the hallway...

After fooling around for a 6 hour HELLO I MISSED YOU VERY MUCH sex, we decided to shower At like what? 4 a.m.? I was extremely drowsy at that point, having flown 1/2 way across Canada to see this man hahahaha

I remember I was drowsily/sleepily leaning against the wall, not paying much attention to Jim at that point, wish he would turn the shower on HOT when he did so and the steam rose...

And then...

He lifted my hair, which was at that point almost touching my ass-long, and planted a steamy/wet kiss on the back of my neck.

Two things occurred right then. I fell INLOVE with Jim right then... And I asked him to move in with me.

Oh the power of a KISS hahahah Placed appropriately HAHAHAHA

Charlene
((it's his birthday on the 17th of November)) as he was MY FIRST "everything" first serious relationship, first sex, first date yadda yadda first man to "live with" first man to propose to me etc etc I will never "forget" him

Miss you Jim... Miss you badly.

"Angels" enter our world in very subtle ways and speak Volumes...

Today I was driving to University... Thinking I would grab a bite... And then class and it's all good

RIGHT.

I own a Beater. A cute Beater. But a Beater.

Well it decided to burn off it's something or other LOL(I am tired can't think right now) but once this round coil/band is burnt off the car no longer runs And the car Screams while it is burning off SMOKES and all that. Well when I drive this is what I do:
1) Turn on car
2) Turn on CD Player Adjust volume/bass
3) Drive HAHAHAH

FAST

Well I noticed that hey there was SMOKE and lots of it INSIDE my car - My beater is a FIERO and it was almost on FIRE-O lol

So I coasted to a stop conveniently at a stop sign... And all of a sudden there were MEN everywhere - One with a fire extinguisher, another with a cell phone and another there to help push me to the side of the road. WOW. So fast hahahaha

Then very handsome FIREMEN YUMMMMY FIREMEN - Secret Fetish that Uniform for me hahahahah

Extinguishers and masks and the whole bit WOW

The Captain was all of 6'2, blonde and blue eyed and missed the hint when I said I was single DRATS hahaha

Oh right back to the Angel bit - -

Well the guy that was with the fire extinguisher was an older guy and was quite the Dad hahaha Asking me over and over if I was okay then after I phoned for "help" he offered me a ride home and we got to talking and during the ride home he said, after I confessed I did not know what to do about the car with it continuing to break down but working "every now and then" he told me; "When your head tells you something and your heart agrees, ALWAYS GO WITH THAT THOUGHT... In other words if your head and heart don't match, DON'T DO IT. Life is that simple. That is what you are to learn from meeting me today."

I just stared at him. Okayyyyyyyyyyyy.

Well my heart AND head tells me to KEEP the car even tho it is breaking down and crashing LOL That "one" day it will be a keeper and a damn good car Just right now it has been sitting for a year and the parts that WILL break down WILL and besides, I have bought it from a Mechanic "Ian" and he is teaching me how to FIX IT as it slowly lets the old parts go LOLOLOLOL

So I am learning MORE about a car rather than just turning a key on and DRIVING shit LOLOLOLOL

Angels enter fast at times and speak loudly

Oh the other thing we talked about was I told him about me He talked faster than me UNBELIEVABLY lol and I answered him and said I have been single for 7 years, after he told me he was married with 6 grand kids of various ages. I said I was about to give up. He said Give up, quit searching actively and that is when you will meet someone.

Fine.

I am throwing it "out there" into the Universe - Hear ME. I am Single. I am bored with that concept. I am outgoing, artistic, love animals, art, shopping, gardening, driving fast cars and 4X4's (my DREAM CAR is a BLACK JEEP with HUGE tires, a BOOM BOX/STERE0 to die for, roll bar, the lights on the roll bar and BIG JEEP) lol Silver cute rims on the tires. Got the idea? I have never planned life and I never will. Hear Me Universe. I want a Man, in my Life. In 2009. Of which is a handful too. But trustworthy and cuddly and funny and that's about it LOL

So there ya Go Universe HEAR MY CALL I am no longer ACTIVELY SEARCHING I am just tossing it out there and tomorrow I am going to toss it out there literally into the ocean in a wine bottle that I am single and available and my email ROFL I live ON the ocean might as well use it to MY advantage Wait is that ACTIVELY searching still SHIT hahahaha

Night night

What I learnt from being a "Mom" for a WHOLE 24 hours -

Shayna was missing her mom BIG TIME and was so very very very worried about her - I just stood there and thought Wow I have not talked to my biological mother for like 12 years? And I don't even give her a Thought? And yet Shayna, young Shayna is in tears over her Mom having an operation for cysts? Gone "only" overnight?

It made me sit down and think Why? Do I have so very little regard for my Biological Parents? REALLY? Caring was beaten out of me That's why.

Perhaps that is why my adult relationships Sour? So damn quickly? Or don't even begin? My heart, soul, fire was extinguished as a child? By every parent that I had? UGH.

How does one learn as an Adult to open one self up to caring? To the point of crying over another's welfare?

I cry over my pets when they are hurt. But I can't remember crying over a human being for a VERY freaky long time.

Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmm...

Well, well... I have not had really "anything" to write of late... Besides that I am school for Medical Transcriptionist training Therefore TYPING is not UP on my list for priorities hahahaha As that is what I am doing "in" class...
Well these next 48 hours I am "babysitting" for a girlfriend... Her daughter, Shayna... Overnight as Pam/Mom is in the hospital for 48 hours AHHHHHHHHHHH As I have opted NOT to be a Mother... This is going to be a REALITY CHECK big time... Okay okay Yeah sleep time is easy time, right? HOPEFULLY...
Shayna is a great kid... Beautiful, smart as a whip... And the bigger test is on Wednesday I get to be Mom Taxi hahahaha Orthodontist appointment time AHHHHH So braces are being taken off 90 minute downtime then back for retainer Okay sooooooo that will be MOM day for me BIG TIME hahahaha
Okay all you EVERY DAY dayIN dayOUT Moms reading this will be going WHATEVER But if you have NEVER been a Mom anxiety attack in advance here happening hahahahaha Get her there ONTIME feedher GOOD food etc etc
