2008 Presidential Candidate Matching Quiz

Dear Mrs Jones- Reynolds,

It's been a good nine years. I will miss you. I was so looking forward to seeing you on The View with Joy and Rosie O teaming up against you, that would have been brillant.

I hope you stay in the public eye, so I can see your complete transformation to alien. Are you the real father of Suri? That might be the only way for you to stay in the papers, because you don't cross Barbara Walters and except to work again.

Remember Jesus loves you, as does your gay husband and the tens of people who are your fans that you had to be honest with and tell the real reason for your departure from the show.

You really are a star Starlet and I hope you continue to Shine. If things don't work out with Al, give Kevin Nubanks a rings and you could team up to kiss ass.

XOXO
Amy

So what can I say it was The Hip... it was amazing.

The setting: Historic Fort York, sunny, not too hot June day, the CN tower to the right of the stage, beer flowing and pot being smoked and I had poutine for supper. How the entire crowd didn't break into O Canada is beyond me.

The Openers: The Sadies... I'm sorry, but I'm not a huge fan.

The Weakerthans. I heart them. And people... the friendly people who live inside the radio will tell you what time band set times are, listen to them, and if you don't want to hear the openers don't show up until the headliner is scheduled to come on. Concerts start omn time now, it's freaky. Do not scream Hip Hip Hip Hip through the Weakerthans set, Gord is not coming out and Left and Leaving is a great song, shut up and listen to it.

The Hip: Gord Downie is spazztastic. Nuff said.

When a band plays to nights in Toronto I seem to go to the wrong one. Pearl Jam played Elderly Woman and the T.O show I didn't go to, and The hIp played Bobcaygen at the show I didn't go to.

Bobcaygen is my favourite Hip song. When I was in grade ten, I was one of the 8 people in Canada who didn't adore The Hip. I blame Gift Shop, I don't like that song, but but Bobcaygen showed me how foolish I was being.

The even sang New Orleans at the other T.O show. I would have liked to see how they set that one up so it didn't come off as poor taste.

The Annoyings: Seagulls are a menace to society. Sure they were funny in Finding Nemo, but in real life they are scary wing flapping, french fry stealing shit bombers. Something should be done about them.

Drunk, loud boys in love with Gord Downie. It makes me laugh, you can get a group of men together, straight men, who have most likely said a lot of homophobic things in their normal lives, but but them in a concert crowd and they become so gay. Sweating shirtless guys rubbing against each other in mosh pits, fighting each other for Gord Downie's attention, a stolen glance or nod of the head. They are in love.

Gord said something about Prime Minister Bush, and this is the conversation behind me:

Drunk Guy 1: Hey man, watch Gord.
Drunk Guy 2: Huh?
DG1: Bush sucks!
DG2: Bush!
DG1: I hate George Bush!

Of course he didn't get the reaction he hoped for from his beloved Gord. First off we were abour 50 feet away there is no way he heard him. Second off, yes Bush sucks, but he wasn't talking about GWB he was talking about Stephen Harper and the fact he's a puppet for America.

There was a girl in front of me I wanted to punch. She was hanging off her boyfriend the entire show. Screaming and bouncing around. She was so annoying. Her boyfriend was kinda hot and she wasn't, he could have done much better, and clearly his friend couldn't stand her.

And finally... Historic Fort York is a great place to have a concert, whereever you are you can see the stage, but one way out?? You have got to change that!!!

You are a Social Liberal (78% permissive) and an... Economic Liberal (11% permissive) You are best described as a: Socialist Link: The Politics Test on Ok Cupid Also: The OkCupid Dating Persona Test

I went and saw RENT tonight. It was just in Toronto from May 9th-14th. You could tell it was a new stage for everyone, there were quite a few problems with blocking, but it was good. It was RENT I think that goes without saying.

Jed Resnick was Mark. He was cute. I wonder if he's straight... I could marry him, since my goal in life is to marry Mark Cohen and Anthony Rapp prefers the dudes. (sidenote: If you like RENT and haven't already you need to read Anthony's book Without You. It's funny, sad and offers interesting tidbits into his life eg: his first time with a guy was on the floor of Andy Dick's living room, and not with Andy)

Ano Okera (anookera.com) was a wonderful Angel. He was so pretty and has amazing arms.

Bryce Ryness... (myspace.com/bryceryness) Okay... say something nice. He wasn't a bad singer, but he is very thin and I didn't find him attractive at all and Roger should be rock star hot. Plus, he thanked Jesus and beautiful bride in the program... lame-o.

And finally... Gavin Reign (zippergrin.com) my new crush. He played Gordon (I'm a New Yorker... fears my life) and is the Roger understudy... he totally should have been Roger. He can sing is a rock star and he's HOT.

I think that Natalie Portman and Mariska should be in a movie together and play relatives.

And then Natalie and I can have our joint birthday party with Johnny Depp and Michael J Fox. Where of course she'll invite her dear friends Hayden and Mariska.

Speaking of birthdays, I'll be 25 in about 6 weeks. For the first time I feel weird about my birthday. 25... that just seems so adult. I really thought I would be doing more with my life by this age. I think 26 will be the hardest, 25 seems like the last socialable acceptable age to be a young moron, after that it seems sad. I don't know maybe when I'm 55 I'll think differently. It's hard to feel "old" when people think you're 18 though.

I used to really hate Natalie Portman, but ever since I saw Garden State I really liked her. I'm not sure why I ever hated her in the first place, I always liked a lot of the movies she was in.

I think I pulled a muscle throwing up. I feel like ass. I haven't had the flu since I was a little kid... I'm hope it's another 15 years until I get it again. Throwing up water is the worst feeling in the world.

with Mark Darcy. I wish he was real. That is all.

And tonight I think you've got your hot pants on too tight


I tend to be between two sizes so I buy the larger size, because there's nothing worse than people with ill fitting pants. And really people, you're the only person who knows what the size is, if it bothers you that much lie about it, don't squeeze into a size that cuts off your circulation.

Anyway, the problem with this is it takes a while to notice you're gaining weight. One day you pull on your pants (which I tend to do two legs at a time just because of the stupid saying) and they suddenly fit perfectly. Depressing. I need to go jog or something.

Yeah, maybe tomorrow. Right now I'm going to go lay on the couch, eat some salt and vinegar chips and watch The Colbert Report.

It's so weird I don't know how I gained weight?

What is worse:

A) People who notice a person walking down the street and form opinions on race

or

B) Me, who notices a person walking down the street and honestly doesn't take much notice of race, but does notice if the person is ugly, has bad hair, is wearing a bad outfit, has a big nose etc.

I make a lot of lists when I'm bored. It must be my inner John Cusack. I also like to hold my boombox over my head and blare In Your Eyes. So heres some lists I was making on my bus ride home form Hamilton...

Top Three concerts:

1) Treble Charger in Bala at the Kee De Bala. It's a give in that a tc show would be my favourite, you don't go see a band over 30 times if they suck. This was a great show, Four Square opened, and after the show we talked to the band like we were their friends, not just crazy groupies that followed them around. It was also the show I got my bright orange coat from Rosie. "I bet Rosie's your favourite now, of course he was always your favourite." "Um, no, ah, I just like coats."
"A cat?" "No, a cow MOO!"

2)Greenday in Buffalo at the HSBC. The Toronto show was great and the first one I went to, but this was the best because Kim and I went together and actually sat together. Plus, Alyssa was there too. There is a lot of pressure on a band when you've been trying to see them for 10 years, and Greenday was amazing.

3) Smashing Pumpkins in Buffalo at the Odd. I cried because I was in the same room as Billy Corgan. This was the first indoor concert I ever went to.

Top Three actress:

1)Meryl Streep
2)Mariska Hargitay
3)Kate Winslet

Top Three songs:
1)Eleanor Rigby- The Beatles
2)Harvest Moon- Neil Young
3)Red- treble charger

I'm happy Chloe Dao won on Project Runway. (http://www.bravotv.com/Project_Runway_2/Bios/Designers/Chloe/). I liked her, and I couldn't stand Santino. He had a good Fashion Week show though. And I loved the purple dress for Nicky Hilton, but he drove me nuts.

I liked the clothes off your back challenge and the leaf dress that Chloe did, but I was surprised Daniel V didn't win, he won the most challenges.

Shane from Survivor is insane and needs to leave. He was funny at first, but now I think he has serious mental issues and should be seeking help. And he is really creepy when he smokes. Aras, Austin and to a lesser degree Nick are really hot. Terry reminds me of Tom the firefighter that won a few seasons back, I think he's the won to beat.

Why or why is EVERYTHING on Tuesday nights? I love The Amazing Race but it's in the way of Scrubs, SVU and Gilmore Girls, it's just too much. Would it kill a network to put something on Monday? Because there is nothing on Monday's except the VJ search, but that's a temp thing.

Will on AI looks like a weird Fred Savage impersonator. Taylor looks much older than 29 and comes off as a creepy old man. Brenna had a huge ego and was a huge bitch, I'm glad she's gone.

I'm not going to the hospital today. I think I'll spend the day with my boyfriend Nick.

And the evening with Marish because there are two SVUs on tonight in Canada.

Or maybe I should try to get real friends. :)

Because I wear this necklace everyday (http://www.meandrojewelry.com/images/product/joyful_heart/P20135S_d.jpg) people often ask what it says. I usually say fearlessness, smile and try to change the subject. I don't like to dwell on the expensive proof of my celebrity obsession hanging around my neck. Nor do I want to go into the stupid story with people I hardly know about why I wear this necklace everyday.

As I've mentioned I have a crush on Mariska Hargitay. I think she's the most beautiful person, and the only woman I would become a lesbian for. So, she has this wonderful charity joyfulheartfoundation.org that helps rape victims and I thought it was really neat so I bought the necklace (Olivia wears it too) for myself for my birthday. Well, it's $113usd, but the money goes to charity so I was okay with it, plus I thought that included shipping. Well, Mr UPS comes up to me with a nice little box and tells me I owe him $85 (shipping/duty/a getting over the border fee). So once you add everything up and figure in the exchange this tiny necklace cost me over $200cdn, hence why I wear it everyday.

This story really made me laugh. Especially: No, it just means I kissed Britney Spears. I am the mommy pop star and she is the baby pop star. And I am kissing her to pass my energy on to her.

I think Madonna needs to let her kids start watching TV. Lourdes needs a new hobby if she's obsessed with who is and isn't gay. Of course watching TV might just feed that obsession, but at least pointing out gay people on TV isn't as rude was walking down the street.

Speaking of Madonna, Kim hates her, this 20 year friendship is on the rocks.

You can buy Madonna wine bottles: http://www.celebritycellars.com/madonna.php That's the oddest thing I've seen today.

I'm not sure if I want to go see Madonna for this tour. The time I saw her was the highlight of my life, but it cost $150, and I don't want cheaper/crappy seats after being so close to her. And the Re-Invention tour was a bit of a greatest hits kinda thing and I want to hear all those songs again. Meh, who knows.

It has an annoying theme song, but I am so hooked on the muchmusic vj search, it's borderline sad.

Am I a horrible person because I don't think kids are cute? Sure when babies are asleep and not making noise they can be kinda cute, but the second they wake up and start screaming, not so cute.

I'm sorry, but when I'm in a waiting room and a kid is running around singing at the top of their lungs I find them to be annoying. I don't care if you're encouraging your kid to be the next Bono, tell them to shut up in a waiting room. What if I was in the waiting room waiting on test results to tell me if I was dying... do you think I want to be listening to your kid?

Why are kids always sticky? Even if there is no candy anywhere near them they get sticky.

If I am sitting reading my book minding my own business why am I the rude one if I just smile at the little person talking to me and not talk back? Half the time I have no idea how to answer because I have no idea what the kid said. And really this isn't just little kids, do I have a sign somewhere on me that says "Hello, I give a shit about your life, please come talk to me I don't really want to be reading this book I'd much rather make small talk with a stranger."? If I do please tell me where it is so I can take it off.

I can't count how many times I'll be sitting enjoying my Starbucks and a book or writing something as I wait for the bus and random people just come and sit down next to me and start talking to me. (Of course they are waiting for the bus too, they didn't just come to talk to me). Once I was waiting for the bus in Toronto to come back to Niagara Falls, I was standing in line reading a book and listening to my cd player, there were about 30 people in line and this lady came up to me and asked me what bus I was waiting for. WHY? There were at least 30 other people you could have asked, plus the driver who would know for sure where the bus was going, why did you pick me? She was black, and I think she thought I was black so that might have had something to do with it, but that doesn't really make sense.

I think it's because I look so innocent. I don't look like I'll freak out or be rude of you ask me a question. And I'm not, I answer their questions or go along with the pointless small talk. So maybe this answers my question of why strangers talk to me, because I answer them.

I'm sick. I had being sick. I blame global warming, if it wasn't -13 one day then +7 the next I wouldn't be sick. And of course I made plans to go to the martini bar on Saturday, I better feel better by then, the last time I went there was for my birthday and I was so sick I switched to water after one drink. Luckily I caught my second wind.

I was reading the article on ifmagazine.com and Bruce Willis was basing Oprah and supporting James Frey. (http://ifmagazine.com/new.asp?article=2663)

'Hey, Oprah. You had President Clinton on your show and if this prick didn't lie about a couple of things I'm going to set myself on fire right now.' James Frey is a writer, okay? He can write whatever he wants.

Apples and oranges. You could make an endless list of people who have lied, but it's not the same thing, James Frey used Oprah to make money, of course she is going to be angry. Everyone knows that being named as an Oprah book club selection will make your book a best seller. Yes James Frey can write whatever he wants, but if it's a work of fiction it should be sold as a work of fiction not a memoir. It's a well wriiten book, and I'm sure if it was marketed as a work of fiction Oprah still may have picked it, it would be a best seller and everyone would be happy.

Dear Douchebag,

You didn't "just seen" his car drive by.

You didn't "do good."

The word hello is pronounced just as it is spelled, hell-o, not hel-ah.

When you get into a fist fight because some bumped into you and end up falling and hitting you head, you should be ashamed, not showing off your stitches.

I'm so sorry that I confuse you when I use "big words" like tainted.

Since you're too cool to get a job, and want to free load off my sister you could at least go visit her in the hospital more than once every two weeks.

It's 2006, it is not okay to loose your temper and punch a wall because a male who was friends with my sister years before she even met you visits her in the hospital. Especially when you're not there because you're getting drunk with her money and going to the rippers.

We have a washing machine, you can now do laundry instead of just spraying half a bottle of Axe on your clothes and leaving your scent everywhere you go.

It isn't funny that you got angry at a teacher and dropped out of high school, it's very sad.

I hate you,
Amy

You Passed 8th Grade Science

Congratulations, you got 7/8 correct!

This surprised me, since I failed grade 11 chemistry. I didn't think I had actually retained that much from grade 8 or high school for that matter.

Sometimes I wish I could go back to high school. I'm one of the rare people who actually enjoyed school. I liked my history classes and English and writing reports. I just hated all the bull shit filler stuff they force you to do. I think I was smarter when I was in high school than I am now. I was learning stuff. Plus, I got good grades so my teachers looked the other way when I didn't show up for class. I think it was because I still did the work, plus I had a wholesome image. I seemed like a goody goody, even though when I was skipping it was because I was too stoned to sit through a boring lecture of the symbolism in The Great Gatsby. Of course there was the one time I skipped English Lit because I was playing Crazy 8 countdown on my spare at we were only at 5 when it was time for my class. So I guess I wasn't that hard core.

I loved history classes. My one teacher was nuts, she had the hugest breasts I'd ever seen, always wore a bow in her hair and it was very clear she made her own clothes. She could never remember anyones name and would call people "Mr Blue shirt". She was a favourite to tease and make fun of, which I never understood, she was by far one of the nicest people in the whole school, and she was one of the smartest people I'd ever met. We would write pages and pages or notes every class, by the end of the period my hand would ache, but she would write them all on the board, rarely looking at her notes. Sure she had been teaching the same class for years, but she knew everything she was teaching.

Unlike my most hated teacher. She was really an art teacher, but I had her for grade 11 English. She more or less taught us word for word from the Coles notes. That was also the class I had to read Lord of the Flies which I HATE. I think it was because of her and her stupid Coles notes that I hated that book so much. I didn't believe half the symbolism crap she was trying to shove down our throats. I really didn't like that she thought we were friends, because she was the staff adviser to the year book and I was the editor. When she taught she got really nervous and would not make eye contact with the class, she would stare at the ceiling. Now I am not one for making eye contact, it creeps me out, but at least I look at the persons lips. (That is also to help me hear them)

So the past three months I have pretty much spent every day at the hospital. Now that Alyssa is at rehab and busier so I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. (I.E I started watching TV again... what other life did you think I had?)

An all-new Gilmore Girls tonight! I was so upset last week that it was a rerun and that Law and Order was one I've already seen (although it was the one Marish was brillant in). It's so cruel that my two favourite shows (read:obessions) are on at the same time. Oh how I wish I had the WB so I could watch GG at 8, then switch over to NBC at 9 for Scrubs and SVU.

I finally watched the season finale of Nip/Tuck... WTF!?!?!?! That was the worst episode ever. I really expected more from Ryan Murphy nothing about Nip/Tuck is obvious and what you'd think so why did they make the Craver Quention? That was so obvious. (Unless you twist it that it was so obvious no one would think they would go with him, so there fore it was a shock... but I don't want to twist it)

Which is more sad... that E! started the red carpet show for the SAG Awards at 5 and the show didn't start until 8... or the fact that I watched 3 hours of Ryan "at least I'm not Star Jones" Seacrest on the red carpet of the SAG awards? Speaking of award shows...

Brokeback Mountain got 8 noms for the Oscars. I love this movie. It's so beautiful on many levels. Although the dead animal shots upset me, Ang Lee made it up by then quickly going to a naked Heath or Jake. The thing I don't understand (and stop ready if you haven't seen the movie but plan to) how do you go from freaking out that you started to cuddle with a guy in your sleep to having sex with him in the span of five seconds?
