Daily Offerings: May 2005 Archives

May 29, 2004

I got into University of Waterloo! I'm so unbelievably happy! Dancing around my room and what not, all shivery like I was watching an old episode of pokemon. Mel, Josh, Leianne, and Anson all got in too so far. I feel bad, because now I'm not going to be rooming with Barone - but my reaction to the acceptance was way too amazing to say no to. Co-op here I come!

Check Point

This is my space. I plan on using it as my space. What I don't plan on using, is My Space. This is simply because, my space is for homo guys who can't deal with being homos yet, and girls who for whatever reason won't go out and meet real people so they'll add every attractive boy they can find to their friends list. Do you know how many random girls I've had request to be friends on that stupid thing? I don't even want to think about the number. Go outside, and meet some real boys. Not boys who live thousands of miles away.

I've also noticed that the growing trend with early teen girls who have blogs is to post the names of people who have commented on the main page with the entries. Now, I'm not going to link these people just yet for fear of being too harsh, but I'd like to know what purpose it serves. I could just be missing the point completely. Maybe it's so show off all their l337 programming skills.

Damn. I had a lot of angry things to mention, but they've all escaped the grips of my mind. I guess I'll get back to coding the PHP on this site. The about section can wait before I slave over it.

Where do you plan to go on vacation this year, or where would you want to go? (Feast Two)

Seeing as how I just got back from vacation, there's no more plans for any more fun time this year. If I'm really lucky, I'll get the job with Carnival and be on a cruise ship for up to 9 months, but that will be work and not vacation (Which reminds me, I really need to email them). I really want to go on the new European Carnival Cruises though. 12 days: Rome, Naples, Dubrovnik, Venice, Messina, Barcelona, Cannes, Livorno, Rome. Oh please let me go.

What color is your bedroom? If you could redecorate it, what would you change? (Feast Two)

As noted before, my bedroom is some sort of light beige. It might be due in for a repainting on some spots because my old bed left marks, as did my desk when it was moved. I don't mind the colour though. It's plain. As far as room redecoration goes, I'm sure I've already stated numoerous times that I want this bookcase with this CD tower in the middle. I want to add this night table, and then get four of these boxes and two more of these boxes.

If you were to suddenly become famous, what would you choose as your stage name? (Feast Thirty Three)

I'd keep my name. Either as a whole, or just 'Mike' (or 'Maiku' if I was a j-star).

Salad

Imagine you've won a contest to be a featured guest on any television sitcom or drama show. On which one would you want to be a guest star? (Feast Nine)

This is a tough one. I think it'd be cool to be on Smallville. Well in the first season. Now it's more like a soap opera than anything else. They had tons of guest stars on it. If I was a guest star on The OC I think a lot more people would see it. The same goes for One Tree Hill. The show I always wanted to be on was Dark Angel, but the writers failed in the second season and then it got cancelled. Queer As Folk is done now, and every homo and his grandfather had been on it. So I guess it doesn't really matter anymore. Just put me on TV. And not a crappy experience on Degrassi either. (That just reminded me I still need to do all of the comments back from LJ. Frig.)

What does the shape of a triangle make you think of? (Feast Thirty One)

Lesbians.

Main Course

What would the title of your autobiography be? (Feast Five)

It's amusing because the Main Course is supposed to be the one that makes you think the most. I guess I got off easy. While the question about which TV show I'd like to guest star on gave me loads of trouble, I already know that my autobiography would be called The Mike Haddad Show.

Dessert

Who is your favorite celebrity? What do they do that inspires you? (Feast Two)

Jackie Chan. I could start to recite the list, but you've all heard it before.

Day Two

Day Three

Day Four

My stuff is all in piles now. I just need to finally find out where the hell I'm going to store it all. I want to buy four of these and two more of these. God Ikea is expensive.

I spent 40 minutes on the automated phone system that Carnival uses yesterday. I eventually gave up after being transfered back to the employment line. I'm just going to email my resume to the IS Manager Position email address, complete with introductory coop letter/cover letter and resume. I still need to phone Bell and cancel Sympatico at MKV.

The last two weeks have been the worst transition weeks ever, as apparent in everyones blogging (or lack there of). Things need to getbetter soon, or I'm going to kill someone (not me of course).

I finally fixed the problem I was having with the calendar (which no one else can see), and the comments. It should be easier to diferentiate between different comments now. I'm just having serious issues with the rest of the sidebar-to-be. I don't have enough patience right now to do the about section. I think I have a job for Natasha, since she plans on attempting to escape some photoshoot duties. Speaking of the photoshoot, there wasn't the big response I had initially expected and since then the interest seems to have dwindled. So for those of you that did reply, expect an email reminding you soon with a list of what to bring.

Debriefing

Day Zero

Day One

So, I'm slowly making some progress with this. I have tons of pictures I need to sort through from the cruise, and some good friends that I made. I need to phone Carnival about getting a coop job. Waterloo needs to process my forms soon. I need to buy that bookcase stuff that I wanted and a nighttable or two for my bed. My plan is to scan in the floorplan for my house and use photoshop to position everything. Expect cruise pictures soon.

I've found I'm not very coherent right now. So lets get a quick list of what I need to do:

• Site stuff:
  • Final tweaks on CSS
  • Finish up about page
  • Get pictures up and running
  • IMPORTANT: Photoshoot on the 14th
• Other stuff:
  • Andrea's Party on Friday
  • Wedding on Saturday
  • Party on next Friday
  • Photoshoot next Saturday
  • Cancel Sympatico from Rez
  • Email Lady about dropping distance ed stuff
  • Email Carnival Cruise Lines about coop job

Oh my god, I typed 'Emain' intead of 'Email'

It made me smile.
