well i just got back from the bachelorette party for my sister-in-law to be, my brother gets married this weekend, then tomorrow is the family dinner and saturday is the rehearsal and so forth so i am trying to work my alcohol tolerance to something a little less embarrassing than it is right now

i spent the day on tuesday chasing the police around the city, always preferable to the police chasing me around the city, i was trying to report that taxi driver from a few weeks back, the licensing agency thought that the only way i could be done justice was to speak to the police since all the city of toronto can do is take away the guy's drivers' license

and then today i found out that my interest relief application got rejected, in fact i should not even need interest relief since i have not been out of school long enough but somehow the national student loan people don't have documentation of this. the application got rejected because they were saying they had not received documentation that i had, in fact, sent in- by the time i called though they had received the documentation but were saying they could not begin to process the application until i payed more money because, get this- the bank had put me back into student status in january (although i had been a student since this september and also the previous year) however the national student loan centre had not. this is relevant because you cannot be on interest relief if you are a student, which the bank was saying i was, because i would rightfully have been in non-repayment status while a student and hence my (retroactive) interest relief application would be unnecessary.

aaahh and now this is taking up another paragraph, if you are kind enough to read my blog know that i surely will understand if you skip over this entire part,

SOOOO...

the national student loan centre was saying that i could not be on interest relief if the bank said i was a student. however, the national student loan centre was not saying that i was a student and was saying that the only way they could process my current interest relief application would be for me to pay this money that the national student loan centre said i owed but the bank said i didn't.

so i am looking forward to a weekend of working my alcohol tolerance back. my brother and sister-in-law-to-be will wear mickey mouse ears to their wedding rehearsal and i think i will wear a lime-green fake-lace dress that i bought for some weird dress party a few years back.

on an entirely different note, someone mentioned to me in passing that the cartoon character caillou was based on a child with cancer. i looked it up on the 'net and there is no mention of this except some random bloggers wondering the same thing. the company says that caillou is bald so that he is not tied down to having one particular hair colour, in order to make him seem more universal, kind of like 'brother' and 'sister' bear i suppose.

the spell-check is flagging 'colour', american, i guess.

i ate a whole east-side mario salad, complete with jalapenos, eaten whole, so i would not get too hammered from the one glass of wine in front of my sister-in-law's friends less my behaviour give her any kind of apprehensions about becoming related to me at this stage in the game

now i have to soak some stained clothing (no connection to tonight, just clothing that has become tarnished over the last several months that i have been ignoring) and fold laundry and go to sleep as all my relatives will be at my house for dinner tomorrow night

i forgot to say happy solstice last weekend but i won't forget to say happy pride this weekend

yay
