| I see. What were you doing out in saskatchewan anyway? |
| I've got relatives in Saskatchewan, so I'm out there a lot. I was also born in Swift. |
| Ah thats cool. What side of the family are they on? It seems every time I'm in that province I'm braving some form of extreme weather conditions. First it was -45 with windchill, after that it +45 with no wind whatsoever. Give me a middle ground already! |
| My dads side of the family, bunch of crazy Lebanese people. Haha, the weathers always awesome when I'm there. Why were you in Saskatchewan? |
| I have some relatives in Regina, so my family would always stop in for a day or two anytime we were driving though... to see other relatives in manitoba and ontario. |
| Regina's a pretty sketchy place. Why are you up so late btw? |
| Regina still isn't as bad as Edmonton. Report-a-john sums it all up haha. Homework. I usually push everthing off till the last minute, so here I am doing all of it with due date in about 6 hours. This could be a very long night :( How about you? |
| Haha, oh Report-a-John. Edmonton is pretty bad, whenever my roommate and I drove through china town, I was convinced we'd be shot. Yikes, sounds like fun...lol. What are you taking? I'm marking exam papers for my mom |
| Last time I was in Edmonton I almost got mugged by an native. Not cool. It's funny when I look back on though. I'm doing carpentry apprenticeship at SAIT. I hate carpentry with a passion, but I can't argue with the pay. I think the current rate for a journeyman is 36/hr. I could do that for a few years haha. Exam papers? I take it your Mom's a school teacher? |
| Yes, because almost getting mugged is funny =S You hate it? Why? Carpentry looks interesting. I don't think I'd able to do a job that I hated, even if the pay was good. I'd get bored and lazy. Yup, she works at the school my sister is currently attending. |
| Haha you'd need to hear the rest of the story to laugh about it. Like the part were my friend pulled out a taser. lol I got forced into carpentry when I was young and ever since I really couldn't stand it. I'm not really in it for the money, per say; its more about what my dad wants then anything else. In the end I'm just going to use it as a springboard for now, and maybe a plan B later. Speaking of school/work, what exactly do you do? |
| Okay lol, you can re-enact it for me on Saturday. Ahhh, makes sense why you dislike it then. I'm assuming your father is a carpenter? Right now my cousin and I own a business selling mainly shirts (with their logos on it) to small companies. I also work part time with my dad. As for school, I plan to take business next fall, but for right now I'm just working. |
| Haha alright. He is. Right now he's working the school board doing renovations. Interesting. What got you into that? How much of the "shirt-creating process" are you involved in? After you theoretically finish your theoretical course, what are you going to theoretically apply yourself to? (Sorry I couldn't resist after I typed the first one ;3) |
| Excellent! I am looking forward to hearing said story. Neat, if your dad ever ends up at Bishop Grandin, he may meet my mother. What got me into that? Well, I've always been interested in owning my own business, my cousin suggested that I start off with something smaller and work my way up. I bought myself a t-shirt press and kind of went from there. Right now my cousin is making all the shirts since I'm in Calgary and all the equipment is in Sask. I take orders, buy supplies, and design logos. Honestly, after I finish my theoretical course...I don't really know what exactly I want to theoretically apply myself too haha. I'm kind of hoping I decide before I start the course. |

JulesRuby said: Carpentry and T-Shirts? You're all freaks of the working class! @ JulesRuby: Aren't most of us in the working class? Or students preparing to be part of the working class? I don't think we have any "stupidly rich" people who can sit on their butt all day in the group (if we did, then THEY'RE buying us all dinner tomorrow ;-) ). Welcome to the group BTW. I am trying to imagine wild crazy Lebanese parties in a quonset in Saskaschewan and can't get past imagine people dancing to songs in 7/8 time. I'd be totally up for that. I'm listening to this clip right now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U743h_VVKA I love 7/8 time and 5/8 time. 4/4 time is so....square. @ Lars: I think since you're already well into the program, you're smart to just finish it and get your certification. As you said, you can use it as a springboard and do it until you do what YOU want to do. I went to school with so many people who quit right before their last semester of university, so when they went back to school, they were starting from scratch. Had they just finished that final semester, then a second degree is only 1.5 to 2 years away. @ Teiza - can we trade business cards tomorrow? Every now and again, people ask me if I know people who make t-shirts. I used to know some when I was in the corporate sector but I'm so removed from it now. @ Minna-san: Ok, so who's all coming tomorrow? So little brain is counting four so far: Teiza, Lars, Wo1f and myself. And possibly Mo-kun from Akibaka (Lars - he's the snappy dresser who's awesome @ karaoke). Anyone else? We don't want to miss anyone. |

Well yes (sadly I'm both) but more specifically I was referring to the fact that I've never met anyone who has been a part of either of those professions. So that's cool. If you're implying I'm a rich sit-about-- I wish you were right. And thanks :) |
| I think we'd all be bored if we were so rich we just sat around all day. Working part-time and having enough money to feed our anime and manga addictions would be the best! |

Maybe you would be! I can definitely think of a few ways to keep myself infinitly entertained. Also I have ADD so really all I'd need to do to not stay bored is refill the Ritalin prescription... Things would be good. Billionaire Pill-popper... There are many occupations I could think of that would be worse. |
| @ JulesRuby: Don't take the red one! Are you coming to dinner w/ us tonight? It's gonna be fun. |

Rukia13 said: @ JulesRuby: Don't take the red one! Are you coming to dinner w/ us tonight? It's gonna be fun. No sorry, as I assumed you had guessed by now. I had prior plans with my GF. Another time :) I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, I haven't really checked the message all day. |

| That's ok JulesRuby. There will be other times. Although we probably WON'T eat at that restaurant again. Disappointing. But the ice cream and the company was definitely a 5. |
| --- ChibiSamuraiTV | My YT Channel | www.youtube.com/user/chibisamuraitv |
| Yeah I agree with you Rukia! It's a good thing that the company was a five, I'm so excited to play Mahjong ;D |
| The food did not look like the picture.... |
| When does the food ever look like the picture? |
| It's had to have happened at least once. Now I'm going to have to make a conscious effort to check... or I could just make sure I order items without pictures. |
| It happened to me at Tonkatsu Ginza Bairin. Too bad that we have to fly to Hawaii if we want to go there. |
| --- ChibiSamuraiTV | My YT Channel | www.youtube.com/user/chibisamuraitv |
| So what you're saying is I should burn the restaurant down. |
| Oh yes definitely. But only because there was no pepper on the rim of my Caesar glass. |
teiza said: Oh yes definitely. But only because there was no pepper on the rim of my Caesar glass. Justice WILL be swift... After sleep and the daily grind. |
| Thanks man, I appreciate it |
 Truth. |
| Cake never lies. (Coolest ppl evar!) |
 Lie. ohohohohoh, just kidding ;) |
| Double posting is so lame... But if I don't let the world know how much I love Natalie Tran, I may explode. Only woman on earth that I'm willing to admit I cyberstalk ;) |
| You just stalk the other ones and won't admit it? |
| If you knew me, you wouldn't even have to ask that question. |
| Clearly I don't, so there it is :P. Though I think I got my answer! Nothing wrong with a bit of cyber-stalking. |
teiza said: Double posting is so lame... But if I don't let the world know how much I love Natalie Tran, I may explode. Only woman on earth that I'm willing to admit I cyberstalk ;) Dang that's how I thought you felt about cake, now we have nothing in common :( |
| Cake never lies. (Coolest ppl evar!) |
| Don't worry Mario, I can fill the void :) You just have to tell me your favorite type of cake... |
| I like your avatar Lars. He's got great hair! |
| I know eh? It's easily the best 80's metal hair I've ever laid eyes on. If I was a guitarist I would sooo rock that hair. |
| ARGH! High school airbands. I really didn't want to relive that! |

Rukia13 said: Shame on you!ARGH! High school airbands. I really didn't want to relive that! |
| Um...yeah. The 80s were a period of bad (er, big) hair, leg warmers, skinny ties and pastels. I'm cringing from just remembering all that. Glad to that all behind me. |
| --- ChibiSamuraiTV | My YT Channel | www.youtube.com/user/chibisamuraitv |
| Big hair...leg warmers...skinny ties.... That sounds like my kind of time period ;) Although I don't do pastels very well. Classes with my wintery exterior. |
Rukia13 said: Um...yeah. The 80s were a period of bad (er, big) hair, leg warmers, skinny ties and pastels. I'm cringing from just remembering all that. Glad to that all behind me. You had big hair didn't you? Tell me you still have pictures... teiza said: Big hair...leg warmers...skinny ties.... That sounds like my kind of time period ;) 80's maids? |
 That would be amazing hair. ...Amazing everything really. |
Lars said: You had big hair didn't you? Tell me you still have pictures... Too late. You missed your chance. Had you come to my high school reunion with me, you would have seen loads of them. |
| --- ChibiSamuraiTV | My YT Channel | www.youtube.com/user/chibisamuraitv |
| I would have loved to see pictures of Rukia with big hair... |
| You too missed your chance at the reunion. Mind you, if I brought you along Teiza, that would have fuelled the hockey jocks belief that I'm a lesbian. So I thought I should go with a super hot bishie or show up stagette in a killer hot dress. The only bishie I'm dating lives in my dreams so I wore the killer dress. |
