My Secret Crushy Thing

Ever since I was a child I have had an undying love for Rudolph The Red-Nose Rain Deer.  BUT ONLY IN THE ORIGINAL MOVIE.  The way his nose is red, the way he's a little rain deer working for Santa, the way he overcomes obstacles and endures life hardships; I truly believe that if we were more like this wonderful creature the world would be a better place.  Has anyone else noticed that he had a really cute voice too?  Come on, he's perfect.  When I was five my parents bought me a toy of him and he was my best friend.  We ate together, watched all the latest movies, went skiing, biking (he was an incredible athlete in case you haven't noticed).  I watched his movie everyday and dressed up like Santa when I went to bed in hopes that when he was flying around he would get lost and stop by my house because he thought I was Santa Claus.  That never did end up happening but if it had, I was prepared with a tranquilizer gun, with enough rounds to take down a hippopotamus.  And when he woke up, he would have found himself in a 10 feet by 10 feet hole in the backyard, covered by 3 inch thick titanium steel bars.  Oh yes, this went way beyond a crush; obsession is more like it. 

Instant Transportification?

       Oh the places.  Oh the sites.  When you actually stop to think about this concept, that of ability to teleport anywhere, it is amazing to think of all the amazing possibilities that this planet holds.  But for me, travel has to have culture.  I mean sure, Disney Land was fun when I was 10 but now my future travel hopes are higher.  The place I would want to travel would be Italy. 
      There is such a rich cultural experience you just can't get this side of the world in Europe and the deciding factor is my love of Italian food.  And I don't mean pasta and pizza, I mean legit Italian food, even though I'm not 100% sure I know what "legit Italian food" is... I guess Itally is the place to learn it.  Plus it's always been a goal of mine to learn to speak Italian, so bonus.  Also, if I were to travel to anywhere in Europe, there are so many unique cultures in such a relatively small space.  If I am finished checking out Italy, then you can scoot over next door and visit France or Switzerland.  And, I hear that Italian women are pretty attractive so bonus!

Pet Peeves

Lately, I've noticed that more and more things seem to get on my nerves.  Maybe its old age, but who really knows why.  Just this morning I was watching a cooking show before I went to the bus stop, and this guy's accent made him say words that just made me shake with annoyance.  Two words, one was hot, only he said it like, "hAwGht" and the other was basil..."baasilee".  I'm not bashing this guys accent but he sounded perfectly Canadian until he whipped those words out and I instantly lost all respect for his dish.  I don't like kids who tantrum and cry in public.  I really dislike people (specifically grade nine's) who walk way to slow down the hall.  When its busy and there's a lot of people walking the opposite way down the hall and I can't pass them it just frustrates me.  So I find myself glaring at them when I manage to find a way around them, but they earned it!  I hate when I'm in church and am trying to pay attention to a rather dull sermon, and in the back row a baby starts crying uncontrollably and the mother has to wait five minutes into the cry session to decide to take the child out of the room.  I know that's something I shouldn't get upset at because...well...they're a baby.
