Happy Singles Awareness Day!

Well everyone Happy Singles Awareness Day! What a fucking stupid excuse to buy a bunch of shit. As I’m sure you can tell I’m not in the greatest mind-set right now to want to deal with this day. I ended up going to McDonalds for supper again tonight. My first choice was Earl's and when I walked in and had to give my name for a table for one I kept scratching my head and asking myself why in hell there was such a huge wait and why all these couples were standing around... wait... wait... look at my watch... wait... the date on the watch finally registers and I turn on my heel and leave not wanting to be the only person in Earl's tonight on my own. Even though I have a perfectly legitamite reason.

I’m in Prince George and found out the hotel that I’m staying in doesn’t have net access! How could I be so stupid as to make reservations somewhere and not check to make sure they have net access? So I’m sitting at Starbucks using the hotspot network. Now in order to do this I called Telus on my cell and asked them how I could get access cheaper then the outrageous $10 charge they want for an hour. Wouldn’t you know it I signed up for monthly service for $25. The first month is free and I can cancel it after the first month if I find that I don’t use it… which I’m sure I won’t as this is really the first time I’ve ever needed it and that’s because cancelling the room and moving to a hotel that I usually stay in with access would mean they would charge a fee and the boss really wouldn’t like that. So while the concept of the hotspot is fantastic it’s just to bloody expensive. If it was $2.50 for an hour I’d more than happily fork that over, but not $10. So now that I have access what to do? Well update the blog, check the e-mail accounts, finish downloading a TV show I wanted to watch, maybe chat a bit with some friends if they’re on and that’s about it.

I’ve been in a really frustrated frame of mind all day actually. Even though the jobs went fine I feel really emotional. I think part of the reason is that this time every year for the past like 5 years I’ve gone down to Vancouver to blow off steam and just hang out with friends. Doesn’t look like it’s going to happen for a while though which is to bad. Is it ok to admit that I’m lonely? On Valentines no less.



Is it also ok to want to go over and bitch slap the people giggling together over their stupid fucking steamed milks?
