I got payed! WAHOOO!!!
Well, techinally, I don't get the actual monetary funds until tomorrow. But, I did get my stub in the place of internet hotmailz.
Something for...let's see...$843.40!!!!!!!!!
That's my entire trip to Kamloops and Vic in one paycheck plus extra.
So great.
Know what else is great? Shane. Yeah, he's pretty great.
Morgan and I hung out yesterday, just like old times, chowing on chocolate, eating Subs, chatting at Gerris over lattes and swearing at the park. Then, after much deliberation on my mothers part and some bribing on my part we ended up sleeping over in Radium at Shane's house. Which, might I add, was a blast. It was made even better by Shane being high at the time, and he is hilarious high. Not kidding a bit. SO fucking funny.
We watched Disney movies the whole time. xD My particular favorite being The Sword in the Stone. Oh, dear. That movie - I never realized how much I missed it. Merlin and his magic, and Archimedes the Owl. -sigh- Such an adorable and funny little mess of a show. I fell asleep during Aristocats, but I must say, Shane's fold-out couch is perhaps the most comfortable of the kind I've ever slept on. It is, I swear.
And now, off to work. Eyaaaaaa. So boring.
Tomorrow, Kris and Ben and I are to watch Glee and chill and go for dinner. This makes me happy. I can get through today.
After all, it's just a job, Kate.

I have some harsh webcam photos of my new hair. It's only the style though, as the quality equals crap.
This was what it looked like yesterday. No more. xD
When I find a camera I'll take some pics of me outside. My hair has gold bits in it that tend to catch light out in the open sun. As you might be able to tell from the pics, it's not a great fiery red color - more like the color I had before, but it's defiantly more red, and it's a really, really pretty color in person.
(btw; my sister Sarah is the weirdo in coral.)
----------------------------------------
9.26.2009
DYED MY HAIR! IT'S RED!
Not the red that I WANTED, but still red.
I'm just going to emphasize words by capitalization instead of boldness.
I'll post...picture or something when I have some. :D
It's sexy.
I also updated my travel plans a bit. It's below my artist list on MISC tab.
Ciao~!
----------------------------------------
9.25.2009
REALLY thinking of coloring my hair a fiery color...it's what I want, not-so-secretly. I'm just scared to dye it and hate it afterwards. I know a darker color would look great. But...just...it's that feeling that I know I'll get from having hair like that - the emotional/creative high from doing something so drastic and wild.
I dunno, guys. I just don't know.
And I have less than a day to figure it out.
Wanting to have red hair is a sign that I'm changing, and I know it. I had decided a long time ago that the day I get red (real red) hair is the day that I begin changing. Silly, I know, but it's what I had decided as a little girl.
It seems to be that one color that everyone wishes they had the guts (and skin tone) to pull off. Reading about Ireland; the high cliffs and ocean spray, kegs of ale, dashing brawny men with swords and accents and the high-strung, gorgeous, independent women they suddenly come to love and eventually marry in the last chapter. Heart-throbbing, yes. I know.
To me it symbolizes passion and excitement - a want for something and a drive, like a will, a mind-set. When I think of having red hair, I think of stilettos and slinky dresses. I think of scarves and freckles on pale shoulders. The sea. Carnivals. Birthday parties. Waterfalls. Espionage. It makes me yearn for things that I've always wanted. And maybe, just maybe with it I'll get them.
A childhood promise to ones-self. Red hair is the day.
So we'll see where it takes me. We'll see if having red hair truly makes a difference in my life.
And speaking of being wild and crazy: Kavin might be taking me to a Rave in Kimberley on the 3rd. Oh yeah. A rave. Sometime soon he and Anna and I are going out to buy some sunglasses and funky clothing "and shit". ;D
----------------------------------------
9.24.2009
Bank account now tells me I have $108.42.
My life is pretty great, yeah.
I'll be taking one of these in 34 days! :D
Isn't that just awesome?
The total cost of my trip is unknown, but it is certainly going to break me for a while. Let's see...rough estimates:
= Invermere - Kamloops: Travel: $40 + inner-city Transit: $10 + Spending: $150
= Kamloops - Vancouver: Travel: $64 + inner-city Transit: $20
= Vancouver - Victoria: Travel: $20 + inner-city Transit: $10 + Spending: $250
= Victoria - Calgary: Travel $130 + Gas Money: $20
TOTAL: $714 + extra spending
Basically, I can't spend ANY money between now and then. xD Well, I can spend some, but not much. I'm planning on buying a cell-phone before I leave, as that will be handy, and then there's just extra little things like friends and chocolate and such.
Oh, and my hair! I made an appointment for Saturday at 9am. One days worth of moolah down the drain. It'll be worth it, I think. Going for something a bit more red and flashy.
Dark Copper Red - ♥
Even though it's bright, I am leaning towards the dark copper red. I just don't know if it would be too flashy or not. Still deciding. What do you guys think? Any other suggestions for hair color?
Had a great talk with Kavin today. We were bantering all day long. It was pretty fun. He has a firm belief that I need to drink (lots) and get myself a boyfriend - ASAP. xD We chatted about parents and rules and swearing and drinking and relationships and red hair and romance novels and music and travel and soooooo much more. He's adding me on FB sometime, so I can watch stupid movies of him tripping while drunk...and sober. Should be fun.
I keep saying that I like work. And then I ask myself "Do I really like work?" I mean, really? The answer is no. I don't. The job is decent, the wages are high and the people I work with are cool, but work sucks donkey balls. I'm ever so happy that Al is cutting my hours like I wanted. 3 days a week, people. Three little days and the rest are for chillin' in my computer chair and Skyping it up with my peeps. Thank God.
Me: "Kris, are you my boyfriend?"
Kris: "Yes, Kate. I am."
Kavin: -confused- "He's...real....whaaaaaaat?"
;D Good times.
Rae-chan/+/you need to catch up on my posts, darling. They aren't going to slow down anytime soon.
Kris/+/I must hang with Ben and thee a.s.a.p. Glee!
Demi/+/Make sure you save one of those free night's stay ticket-thingers for me, ya' ken'?

Visiting Kris is one the thing I`ve looked forward to most these past few weeks. Every time I get a day off I try to be there.
Kris, you are an amazing person, no matter what your brick of a brother says.
And it looks like i may be spending more time with you now. Isn`t that exciting?
I thought so.
That evening, Kris and I watched the first 3 episodes of the new TV show `glee`. It was pretty amazing. Actually, I LOVED it so much. Hilarious EVERYTHING, really. And some really great line deliveries. A theme that is popular in the show is `believing in yourself`. Therefore, they use Journey's song "Don't Stop Believing". After watching it, it got stuck in my head. I had the belief - badly. Too much of it. It was in my dream. Morning at work I was humming it - caught myself and stopped. Three O'clock rolls around and guess what? It comes on the radio. Well, that was it for me. I just started to sing right along.
I've heard that song sooooo much in the last 14 hours that I couldn't 'stop believing' even if I wanted to.
I got a chance to talk to Allen today about my trip and getting less hours, and it all worked out.
Very happy is Kate.
He is cutting my hours down to 3 days a week, I still get payed great money, and I get the time off work for TRAVELLING NOW!
Yeah, that`s right. He said yes. Look out Victoria, `cause here I come!
Schedule is almost up!

Soul Meets Body - Death Cab for Cutie
-Heard on a movie I JUST WATCHED!
I saw it like, 3 years ago! WTB?
I KNEW I'd heard it way before, but I never remembered until today!
How weird is this...?
:D
Love it.
Made my day.

So close to 60 I can feel it in my bones!
Yesterday and today have been wonderful days. Only one thing would have made it better: Alcohol.
KIDDING! lawl. They could have been made better by getting the chance to talk to Al about my travel plans in October. Would have been awesome. But, didn't happen, and so I shall say that they have been wonderful, as the rest of them was pretty darn good - if a little strange.
Introducing another person into the mix of weird and strangely awesome people I work with: Chris! He doesn't work in the same department as I do (he works in produce), but while stocking shelves he frequently makes little stops at the bakery section to hug me and crack a joke. He's a pot-head, and quite proud of it - not afraid to openly discuss it either. Funny guy, a little on the annoying side sometimes, he's the kind of guy that makes the best of every situation. Most of the staff at Sobeys hates him. Apparently, he is WAY too odd and brass, and he does come on strong. Such a nice guy though, and our friendship - albeit stationed solely at work - has started to grow. We bonded after meeting in the upstairs staff room at our early 15 minute break. He was laughing at newspaper comics and blowing up balloons. He offered me one, and when I blew it up, he popped it with the corner of his chocolate milk carton and laughed. xD After admitting he was often high, and that he head-bangs at random intervals for no reason, he hugged me and that was that.
When he hugged me today I was bagging dinner buns in packages of 12 and he made a comment that was hilarious. This is how it went:
Chris: "KAAAATTTEEEE!"Me: "Heya, Chris."Chris: "Nice set of buns you got there." -wiggles eyebrows--proceeds with bear hug-Me: "Awe." -hug back- "Now which way am I supposed to take that, eh?"Chris: "You're a big girl, Kate. I'm sure you'll take it any way you want to."
Oh dear. Yes, it went on for a few more lines that I won't repeat. It was quite the mass of innuendos. Oddly enough, I totally played along, and was fine with the whole thing. The rest of the bakery staff was mortified. Laughed at them. Should have seen their faces.
It was a great moment. What a thing to start off the day.
So enough about work! I could talk about work all day long, and that seems to be the only thing I can talk about lately. Soooo boring.
The other night I had a dream. Very, very, very COOL dream. Like, Very. I was having such a great time at this place, and it was all mysterious and exciting and adventurous. Not sure where I was, or who I was with, or really what happened. But, I do remember waking up in a cold sweat. Why? Well, the dream was all fine and dandy. It had progressed and I was feeling good and things were great. My little sister and I were standing in a house, talking about some kind of thing, when out of nowhere, the floorboards explode. O.O SOMETHING is coming out of the ground - but I can't see it. I know it's there, though. Sarah screams and reaches for me. And then it grabs her legs. And she's going down with it - back into hell. I grabbed her hands, but was pulled along with her and by the force of the creatures pull we were violently torn apart. Her scream echoed as she was dragged down through the shattered floor. And I woke up - sweating, breathing hard and terrified.
Well, just to say, I closed my blinds, turned on some white noise and checked on Sarah - who was fast asleep. But I didn't sleep that night. :(
NO WORK TOMORROW!
And so I go to Kris' house and watch LOST all day long. Sounds amazing, I know. I'm very excited. :D
My schedule for my travel plans will be up in 'ETC/MISC' tab of my blog very soon. I know what I'm doing now, and I now how much it'll cost me and how I'm going to do it. Very happy about it.
I just need to talk to Al ASAP.
I advise Demi and Jenny to take good look, because that's when I'm coming to visit you! If you have comments and all that stuff, tag my board guys (or yell at me on MSN) - whatever. Tell me if it works for you or if it doesn't.
Peace~

Here's that long-awaited post about my job that everyone has been dying to read...right? Yes, I thought so.
It pretty much rocks - you know, for a summer/whenever you work type deal. I earn more than a decent amount of pay and I somewhat enjoy what I do.
I am a cake decorator. What does a cake decorator do, you ask? I'll tell you.
A cake decorator is someone who decorates cakes.
HAH.
I do that, but I also do more than that. All the cheesecakes and truffles and specialty cakes and display cakes and layer cakes and brownies and marshmallow squares and ALL that junk I also make. I do a lot. It's an everything job. On top of that, I also handle the coffee bar and some of the breads - depending on whether or not Kavin and Breanne did their jobs properly the day before (high probability of 'not' in this one).
Sunday I made a cake and it sold. Woot. That is a great feeling, trust me.
Today I made 6 cakes - 4 to be put in display and 2 as an order that someone had made. I had to make it pretty and neat and professional and actually write "Happy Birthday Mike" on top (which was stressfull, as I did NOT want to mess up at all).
The day starts routinely: I make Strawberry Shortcakes, Fruit Flans, Boston Creams Pies, Congo Cake and Black Forest cake to begin with. Once those are done, I make all the cake orders we have taken the day before or earlier. Then I make sure things are filled and re-filled and move on to pies, where I make Banana Cream, Chocolate pudding and the like. Then Squares, and cheesecakes and etc, and etc, and etc until everything is done.
It's a long day. Usually 7-4.
"..."
Yeah.
People I work with:
•Kim: My supervisor and mentor. Mid 40's. Talks to herself. Walks fast. Good sense of humour - perfectionist, swears like a pirate. Favorite word: "Fan-TA-stic!"
•Maria: Bread/Goody Ladie. Native, mid 30-40's. Smiling. Cracks jokes, likes to talk about how she hates to talk about people. Often makes fun of how dirty I am.
•Kavin: Bread boy. 18 (19?). Red hair - ♥ - Slacker. Nice voice. Likes to hum theme songs when he thinks no one is listening. Takes 2-hour lunches and never gets fired. Has good posture.
•Melissa: Bread Ladie. Native, 30-ish. Melodic laugh. Kind of quiet.
•Breanne: Bread/Goody Girl. 20. Slow. Likes to talk. Tag-teams with Kavin as Slacker. Pretty hair.
•Al: The Head Kahuna. Boss-man. 40? Glasses. Talks fast while using simple grammar. Hand gestures like no tomorrow. Rarely laughes, but grins a lot.
•Adam: Baker. Maybe 25. Goofy Goober. Nice facial structure. Amazing storyteller.

I'm glad you're all caught up, Rae. ^^; I don't think Demi is going anywhere for a while. I'll ask her though. Fush, what am I saying? You should ask her yourself. ♪ "You're a big kid now." ♫
My titles, by the way, I do like, but I confess them to be more than a tad boring. I just don't like spending time on titles. I can never think of something witty enough, and then I fret and sometimes I don't even post. This is a way I can get it over with, and still have it look decent.
12 more posts and then I change format entirely for the 70's.
More Freezies down the drain... ☃
my favorite kind is tropical - or as I like to call it: frozen beer in a tube. It's amazing.
GODDAMN RANDOM SNOWMAN! O.O SHIZ! "..."
I'm crazy. I really am. It's Morgan's fault. She and I hung out today for the first time since the beginning of July. It was great to see her small self again. We (which means her) went window shopping around town. I tried on some wicked cool high-heels at Inside Edge. They were like stripper-shoes that laced up the front. They were not comfortable at all, but man they were hot. With those I tried on some sleazy dress that fit me like a glove. I want it....♥
She found what she was looking for at Syndicate: new shoes. She bough some $105 Van-type thingers that were yellow and black. Although they looked cool, I can't understand how she can wear them. So...flat and...heavy!
We had fun though. Went to the park, yelled at some little kids, threw pretend hissy fits in front of astonished onlookers, swung upside down off the monkey bars, tossed rocks in eachother's faces - good clean childish fun.
And I needed that, because tomorrow I start work. Yes, that's right, I begin my job tomorrow. And get this: I start at 7am! Yeah, it's early, but I get off at 3, which is amazing. And I decorate cakes, so it's no biggie - really. xD
I am very excited and only a little nervous. Hope I do well.
Kris and I watched LOST this morning. Season 5 baby! -crosses season 4 off of wishlist-
I don't know how you could not like it Demi. It's AWESOME! I mean...oh...nevermind. xD I won't spoil it for Jenny...
Damnit. Can't even rant about it in my Blog! >>; So...there's these people that went to this place and did this thing that caused other people to do some other things and they all ended up doing things that made other people do some more things and go to these places where they did things and then people went to this place and did this other thing that caused some other thing to happen which affected other people that did this things that affected more people who knew different people who knew the other people that knew them..............and yeah. There's more to it.
RIGHTEOUS! -headbang-

9.10.2009
Good morning, Blog. It feels strange to be typing in here when it's not dark outside. The sun is shining bright through my window, and I feel pretty good today.
Everyone should have a smoothie for breakfast at least 2 or 3 times a week. The fresh fruit is savory mixed with cold juice/milk/cream/ALL! = heaven! And plus, the natural antioxidants and sugars give you a huge boost to start the day.
I was just checking my Twitter account, and I'm now being followed by "the leading radio station for the West Highlands of Scotland" - Nevis Radio! <--this makes me extremely happy. I love it.
Yesterday I received a call from the lady at the Employment Agency downtown, who told me that I don't qualify for my job training. What's up with that? I'm going to have a talk with Sobeys and see what the deal is there. I hope I can still get the job. -crosses fingers-
Kris is back! This is woot and not-woot for equal reasons, but I'm going to take it as 'woot' and be done with it. He had problems with his courses and so he had to come home for another year. ("ugh" for him) But now I get to have him back. He and Ben picked me up from my house yesterday and we went for a nice stroll around town. :3
I hope we can spend time together this year (the three of us), but with us all having different jobs and different schedules, it's going to be hell trying to organize some time.
Watched 4 episodes of LOST last night. It feels good to be back in the loop. So excited about Micheal's situation, although I'm not sure why, and now Lock and Ben are going to see Jacob! Hecks yes. I was pretty shocked though, in the 4 episodes I watched so many people died! It was a death-fest of LOST characters. Minor...and major, but still, it was a shocker.
And that's what I'm going to do right now: watch more.
Tata and Tootle-loo!

Today has been incredible. I am feeling on top of my game right now - so happy and relieved. How did this come to be? How about I tell you, hm? Sound good? Alright then, here we go!
My started off bad. My father woke me up at 8 (yeah, ugh) and proceeded to open and close my door every 5 minutes to yell at me - to keep me from falling back asleep. This morning, I was badly pissed at him. But now I reflect on that and I love him for it, because all the things that happened today wouldn't have happened if I wasn't awake since the crack of dawn. I'll have to hug him later.
I was awake and I hated it, so I decided to take a shower to help relax and calm myself. And to wake up, durr. I was so tired. Only 6 hours of sleep can do that to me very easily. Okay, I hop in the shower, and my shampoo smells unreal! Pear, Orange, Hawaiian Sea Silk, Berry. OMG. Heaven-in-a-bottle is what it is, and man did that make me feel great or what. And then I did something I haven't done for years: I sat down in the tub and did some breathing/yoga exercises while the shower was still running. The water beating down on my body was a phenomenal feeling and helped me relax like you wouldn't believe.
After drying myself off, I step out of the washroom to find my little sister frowning at me. I hadn't seen her for 4 days, so I was like "What on earth does she have to frown at me about already?" Her scowl seemed to deepening at my innocently confused face, and then she says, "Word for the wise, and for you, your relationship with Dad is on a very taught string right now, Kate. Don't break it, alright?" and leaves. Needless to say, I was pretty surprised, mainly by the fact that my little sister had just said something like that, and partly because I hadn't really thought much about my attitude towards Dad lately, and that it was that bad.
"Hello, Kate. Can you hear me?"
For the next 3 and a half hours I put off my job-search, mumbling and groaning and having strange conversations in my head about it. Finally, I decided enough was enough. I'd go out into town, but I wouldn't hunt, I'd just...walk. And so I left the house with my backpack, holding a resume in one hand and iPod Shuffle in the other, and the raw determination to ignore what I had to do at all costs.
I failed. Not really a big surprise there. Walked down to the beach, up and around and...back to my house, where I turned right around again and marched downtown. Flipsy attitude of mine, huh? Wandered right through town, past Sporticcino's (decided that on no manner was I going to work there) and round the corner of the Arena, all the way back to into (vuala!) town. These two -extremely cute but mid-30's- men ogled at me when I passed them at BMO. Felt pretty good about that. Flitted around main; back and forth between every road and alley I could fit in, meandered past Peppi's Pizza (wasn't the job for me), picked up the mail (where I saw those two incredibly hot men again) and found myself in Hippychic, where I tried on some hats and chatted with the owner about hemp and the situation with our environment.
After that, I peeked in the window of the Health Food store and saw an atmosphere that would strangle me, so I left and went to Pharmisave - they weren't employing at the moment. Go figure. All options exhausted, I decided to suck it up and apply at Sobeys. Not really my ideal place, but I thought "Whatever. They pay alright and it's an easy job." So I waltzed in and up to customer service where Val was working (very sweet lady) and asked her if they were hiring right now. And that's where the happiness blossomed. The manager of their Bakery Department, Allen, was in the office in the back. He overheard my asking and popped out to talk to me. Here's how the conversation went:
Allen: "You're Jennifer's daughter right? Yes, yes you are."Me: "Uh, -laugh- yes I am."Allen: "Are you artistic? Huh, well, of course you are. Hm..."Me: -baffled pause-Allen: "Okay. There is a position in the Bakery that just opened up. Are you interested?"Me: -surprised- "Uh, yes, I suppose I am...?"Allen: "Right. Good. So, you'll be our Head Cake Decorator and Bread Maker. You'll have to take a training course for that - no charge by the way - and because you're a student full-time out of school we'll pay you $14 an hour. What do you say?"
Like I could say 'no'. Hah. Yeah right! And so I said yes. And now I have a job. :3
I filled out an application form for paperwork purposes and was just handing it in when out of the corner of my eye I spotted someone who was having definite problems with a door and a Cinnamon bun. Curious, I looked closer and it was Leah! She has matured so much since I'd seen her 3 years ago I hadn't noticed it was her! Chuckling at her predicament, I offered her my assistance. Immediately I was covered in groceries (because of course she couldn't shop with a cart like normal women) and had a paper bag shoved in what's left of the empty space between my hands. Now free, she reaches way into the back of the cabinet and plucks a bun from the furthest tray, wages war with the tongs and the limited area of the cabinet, wins and plops it into the bag. Laughing heartily at my bewildered expression, she explains that "That one looked soooo good. It was the best, I could tell. And I wanted that one really bad." Apologizing for the sticky hands she's left me with, proceeds to hug me, call me her "Goddess and Savior of the Tuesday Crisis", smiles and - staggering under the awkward weight of her groceries - takes off to the check-out.
Haha! I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe!
With nothing left for me to do with my day, I come up with something productive and interesting. Ironically, I ask my mum for money (she gives me $20 bucks) and wish her a happy anniversary as she shows me the roses dad bought her on her lunch break. Then back downtown I go - to the scrapbooking store! This is where I purchase a whole bunch of fun (and secret - ohhoh! ) things for Jenny's page. =D Now I can finally start putting that thing together! I'm actually very excited. It's going to be great and I know she'll love it.
Saw those hot men on my way home, got lovingly mauled by 4 incredibly adorable dogs -at the same time!- and arrived in time to visit with Sarah and her friends and make chocolate-chip cookies before mum got off work at 5. She picked me up, though and took me to dad's work so I could tell him all the good news in person. Got that hug in I wanted and he's very proud of me. He also approves of my job-choice.
I am a happy person.
So, now with my life in slightly more of a organized fashion, I can get down to doing other things. Like planning for my education and scheduling days to visit friends.
Which reminds me, I will be heading to Kamloops to visit Demi close to the end of October, and then from there I'm going to Victoria by train. Sorry, Noki. I just can't afford to spend another $250 for a round-trip to Fort St. John on top of all that. But, remember when you said February? Yeah, I can do that. ^^;
I love you all!
Peace!

Right now, my fingers like typing. Because of this, I've decided that I'm going to get a blog post done.
Now let's see, what shall I tell you all about tonight...?
Oh, yes, how about my home-issue? Sound pleasant? Sure. Okay.
When Melissa graduated (um...3 years ago...?) Father let her stay at the house for 1 year, free of rent. She didn't have to pay a cent for an entire year. He told me that I'd get the same treatment after I graduated. Apparently, that is not the case.
He is now saying that I must pay him a kind of rent - but "it's for [my] own good" as he puts it. I'm supposed to look at my "free year of no expense" as 'training for the real world.' Supposing I had to pay for my own groceries, clothes, entertainment and half of the average month's rent, all this "money" is to be given to my father by me as "rent", so he can place it in a savings fund for my education.
It sucks.
I don't want that! Can't he understand? No, he can't. I have things I have to do, people I have to see and places I have to go before I can think of school. However, things that I know in my heart to be most important to me, aren't what my dad sees as important at all.
So it's a battle...
Grr, fuck my life.
I need to cut my nails...can't type fast enough.

I really have to get my life in order!
AHH! I really am going crazy with things. With everything. With nothing!...even. And I can barely type. Or fix italics...or anything.
Crazy I being am.

There are many things I should blog about right now. Many, many things. My sister and travel and friends and Enid and Demi's birthday and postcards and my other sister and how I'm feeling at the moment and exercise and...everything.
Any why spellchecker doesn't recognize Chilliwack as an actual word.
But for now, enjoy a video by a strange person I've never met!
(who has too-gorgeous-not-to-ever-be-in-the-least-jealous-of hair!...not jealous...>.<)
And who acts exactly how I feel right now.
with the exception of cereal.
She's like Kayja...o.o
And actual post...many...or something to that effect is on the way.
It's being typed up (slowely).
Update: finished letters 'E', 'F' & 'G' in my artist list.
And like I said. If you have any you think are dashing or rock'n or just plain good, tell me about them, alright?
