Just a short poem today for all you wonderful people out there........ A "constructionKu" if you will. I call it... "Welcome to Hell"
Welcome to Hell
You lazy MoFo!
don't care if you ARE crazy!
Build, you monkey, build!
Yes, it seems that any progress on the loft lately has been initiated by yours truly... and believe me, what very little patience that I ever possessed has now run out. It is a shame that most of you will not be around to meet the new superhero character that I am poised to become..........................
I call her UberBeeyatch and she will get her powers from the build up of all the little frustrations experienced in daily life. For example, you be petty and go to the movies and ask for a bar of ice cream and the jerkwad at the register tells you that they don't have ice cream when you can CLEARLY see at least 2 fridges filled with ice cream bars behind him (yes I have another movie clerk enemy). That particular incident had a happy ending though, with the fortunate last minute arrival of the ice cream man later in the evening... but you get the picture. God help the creatures that cause her distress--they will not know what hit them! And yes, she speaks with an Austrian accent not unlike Awnold. I think I'll trade mark it!
So what's going on with all of you? Haven't heard from some people in a while. Are you all alive?
TTFN,
P
ps. congrats to the Twaddle-Booths on their recent nuptials. love you both. mwa.

What can I say except I am reallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreally, truly sorry that I have not updated this in like a month. Without going into too much detail, life was a teensy bit hectic this last little while. What, with living in a crack house for a week and then moving into the new loft... and said loft not being finished when it was supposed to... and still not. Well let's just say some things have been put on the back burner. But enough about that. I live with it and deal with it everyday so let this blog entry NOT be about that! Any questions and/or comments about the loft and our crazy jailbird, rotting teeth 40 year old superintendant with a crush on my 23 year old roomate can be directed to onecleanshotthroughthetemple@whitepaddedroom.com.
And how the hell are all of you? I promise that I will update this more. But until then, I must go. My glass of red wine calls. And perhaps, Uncle Herb will show up later and hang out with ole' Petty this evening. Stay tuned for further updates.
Cheerio

Good day!
Well, I just went to my very first Blue Jays game ever... How exciting is that? Pretty exciting. Would have been better if the Jays hadn't gotten their butts kicked!!! At the bottom of the 9th the score was 19 to 7... 19 to 7??? What the hell is that all about? Anyway, somehow or other, they did manage to scrape a few runs out of their asses and te final score ended up being 19 to 13... I guess it could have been worse... not.
And some good news is that I get to move into "super-loft" this coming Monday as the people in there now are moving out this weekend. Yippee. Now I don't have to spend a moment longer in the place that I have affectionately come to call "House of the Rising Crack"... there is, a house, in Toe-rawn-toe, where people all do crack... and it's been the ruin of many a cute girl... and god, I know, I'm one. Alright, it isn't really that bad... just having a little fun.
Let's see, what else. Oh, had a meeting with a casting agent this week and I go Monday to get my picture taken professionally. You may be coming to a theatre near you very soon. I'm hoping to get cast in the part of "Girl with Big Ass". And I am also thinking of picking up a stage name... How does Beatrice Petty... get it... Bee Petty... Be Petty. Ha Ha, I kill me!
Au revoir

Yo-Yo Ma!
Did you know that there is actually a Yo-Yo Ma street here? Right off of Queens Quay (kwaaayyyy ;). Very bizarre. Speaking of bizarre... so, right now, I am staying in a lovely little rooming house in Cracktown USA... very posh dawlings... but hey, it's cheap. I was going to say clean but I can't be sure of that. Luckily it's only for this week and then I get to move into "Super-Loft". Yay, I can't wait.
As I have been sitting here, in this internet cafe on Bloor, a guy sitting very near to me has been having a pleasant chat with his girlfriend... wait, that doesn't quite describe it. Actually, they have been fighting and just broke up... I heard the whole thing (blah, blah, blah stalking, blah, blah, blah don't call me ever again bitch). Now he is on his phone changing all his numbers, while doing whatever on the internet. Apparently he is quite the multi-tasker... we could all learn a lesson from this chap, I'm telling ya. I'm thinking that maybe this busy internet cafe is not the best place to have uber-personal conversations but hey... that's just one gals' opinion.
Speaking of opinions... tossing around production company names with my good friend Dee. We really like "Cold Spore Productions" but it was shot down by a couple of people. Whaddy'all think? Any other suggestions? I'm also toying around with "Petty Coat Productions" but that doesn't really work with Dee at all... Somehow, we need to combine "petty" with "czech"... if you can come up with something, let me know. "Petty Coat Czech"? Don't think so.
Alright, I'm outy people. RRDJ before I do though. Brigette Jones' Diary. Colin Firth and Hugh Grant... Enough said!

Sunday
Sorry Peeps,
Been ages since I've had a moment to update this thing...
It's a beautiful Sunday here in the Big Smoke! A hello to all of you out on the west coast... I hear it is stinking hot out there this weekend. Tee Hee. Don't worry, I am sure I'll get my comeupance soon. We've already had some stupid humid days and I am told that it is nothing to what I will experience in the months to come. We'll see.
So, what have I been up to??? Lots and lots of things. There is so much to see and do here, I love it. Went to Canada's Wonderland last week and up to the top of the CN Tower. Both very cool places. Canada's Wonderland was fun but unfortunately 2 things happened that made the day not as fun as it could have been. The first was that there were 3 of us... not such a good idea going to an amusement park with 3 people as there is bound to be one person who always has to go on a ride by themselves. Luckily for me though, the third person (Dee's cuz) had absolutely no interest in actually doing anything fun!!! Kind of makes the visit less than it could be... always worrying about that other person. But that, I could have gotten over. The 2nd thing was the lightning. For some reason, the management at Canada's Wonderland feel that riding in big giant metal contraptions is hazardous during a thunderstorm??? I say, let us decide whether we want to risk our lives in the name of fun. And they call this a free country. Jesus! Oh, and perhaps for the next time, I will Be Petty... especially when I go on the Drop Zone. Never been so scared in my entire life!
And the CN Tower??? I guess I had no choice but to do it once but it was a little pricey for what you actually get. Petty's suggestion is that if you ever find yourself at the base of the tower wondering if you should pay a few dollars extra to see the glass floor... DO IT! Truly, that was the best part of the trip. Trust me, you'll pay your 25$, get up to the top and say "I just paid $25?!? For what?!? Yay, it's so smoggy that I can barely see anything, Yay!!!!"
But listen folks... I gotta run. Sorry, no WhateverKus today. All my creative energies have been going into my writing projects so I am all tapped out. That, and due to my most recent stint at my friend Raw Bees place, I am a little s.l.o.w... if you get my drift.
ciao

G'day!
How are you all doing today? Me? Excellent. I am starting to et used to the humidity. I have been told that it gets much, much worse than this.... I'll be ready for it. There are supposed to be some thunderstorms this evening. Yay!
And for those of you who I haven't been able to get a hold of for whatever reasons, allow me mention my future residence in this fine city. It's a loft. A wonderful, beautiful, glorious loft! I was hardly able to imagine what a loft was before I came out here, because I'm pretty sure that they don't exist in Victoria. Anyway... they are pretty damn cool. Oh, and did I mention it has a very lovely little patio?
In the meantime, I am learning my way around the city. Haven't made it too far east yet but that will come sometime in the next week or so. I am loving the TTC. I don't understand why other cities (ahem, victoria) don't follow their example. And so, I would like to honour one of my favorite modes of transit in Toronto and believe me, there are plenty to choose from...
ODE TO THE STREET CAR (aka. the trolley)
To board the small tram,
watch for oncoming traffic.
It runs on train tracks!
Stay tuned for the newest sub-category of the Honku... TransKu. The possibilities are endless folks!

Allo Allo,
So, just finished reading Dude, Where's My Country. Absolutely fantastic but at the same time, scary as hell. I stand by my belief that Michael Moore will one day a) be President of the United States, b) be assasinated by right-wing conservative wackos (aka the bush administration), c) seek poilical asylum in Canada or d) all of the above. I guess only time will tell. I am waiting impatiently to see Farenheit 9/11. Rest assured, when the time comes Petty will be there to give you the yay or nay. As I type I am a little teary eyed as I watch the end of Emma with Gwyneth Paltrow. Is there any writer as gifted as Jane Austen? I think not. I love happy endings.
Speaking of happy endings, it looks as though Dee and I will be taking this sweet-ass loft that we found downtown. It reminds of the the ones you see the cool people in movies living in. Best of all, it has this uber-great patio that is almost the size of the main floor of the loft. Oh, the plans we have for it! My good friend S.T-B will be proud once we get it all organized for growing veggies etc... And no, the etc... doesn't include anything that will allow Petty to Be Petty. Petty is not in Kansas, I mean BC anymore folks!
I will leave you for now, but before I do, I will present you with this StormKu, in honour of my first Ontario Thunderstom which occured last night.

White Stripes, striking down
Amid a clasp of thunder
Could it rain harder?

Hey Diddly-Ho Neighbourinos,
Well, here I am, my first weekend passed in Onterrible--a horrible moniker but fitting today as the weather is absolute kakka. A huge difference from this past weekend which was spectacular. I wish I had some wonderful stories to tell from my first Toronto weekend but in truth, it was pretty quiet. I am actually not in Toronto proper but Mississauga staying at my friend Dee's parents house so I am a wee bit isolated. What am I doing right now you may be asking yourself? Well, obviously I am typing my blog but I am also on hold with Bell who was supposed to have put my # change through hours ago. It's been about 12 minutes now. Am I happy??? In a word, no.
Got to have a bite with my wonderful friend E today as he works by the big mall where I got my # changed (supposedly). It was great to see him and I look forward to seeing him a bit more often than I did whilst living on the rock. And let's see... what else did I do this weekend. Looked at an amazing loft on Saturday but not sure if Dee and I can swing it as it needs a little bit of reno put in before we could make it work.
Sunday was great... went to the ROM and checked out the Eternal Egypt exhibit. It'll be in Victoria on July 10th and I highly recommend it. Unless you plan on visiting the British Museum before you die you will be hard pressed to find a broader sweep of historical artefacts. If I may make some suggestions however... DO NOT GO: 1) on a weekend 2) when the exhibit first opens 3) a week before the exhibit closes. I did 2 out of 3 and found myself frustrated with the crowds. It's possible that I will head again before friday and get a better look.
That is all,
Me

Well people,
Here I am, my last night in BC for a while. I am way too tired to go into the gory details of the last couple of days... today in particular but please don't fret my pretties. As I type my mind is whirring away at all the MoveKu possibilities. Stay tuned.
Sorry, but that will have to do for now. I need to sleep.
Byeee,

Hi!
A big thanks goes out to Wee, who luckily pointed out the "TDB" made no sense. She is absolutely right, although I do happen to think that "to de betermined" has a nice ring to it. Please sign my petition if you think so too. Also, I think "to ae bannounced" is also good.
With regards to the "TDB" from my previous post, my wrist has now turned a a gorgeous yellowy colour with just a titch of bright red for that extra flair. Luckily, the swelling hasn't gone down.
So, I was going to regale y'all with my new honku entitled "Fuckers from Alberta, go home!", but I decided that I would write my "OldNavyKu" because that is what I have been doing for most of today.
Lament to the 1 1/2 Line Up
Oh, cheap ass clothing...
Why do we all love you so?
Glad I don't work here!
Enough for now. I'mm off to shred and then to see Brad Pitt's ass. Yay!

Hello my lovelies!
Well, here I am once again, same as usual except for a remarkable party wound that I picked up on Saturday night/Sunday am. Let me just set up the scenario for y'all.
Date: Saturday, May 16th
Event: MG's Stagette
5pm-7pm: All aboard the SS Fantasea IV for some drinks and fun.
7pm-7:05pm: Stop at a wharf to pick up Carlos, the midget stripper (ok, he wasn't exactly a midget, but 5'2" is pretty darn close)
7:05pm-7:30pm: Converse with said stripper
7:30pm-7:50pm: Wait around for said stripper to wank himself off.
7:50pm-8pm: Watch stripper girate for MG. Relish in the look of disgust on MG's face as Minipeeler does his "Ice cream Man" number... so funny!
Jump ahead to....................
11pm-3am: Get progressivley wasted. At somepoint early on, lose purse with keys and phone.
3am: Unable to find purse, arrive home ready to break in through Oreo's window in the back.
3:10am: Weight of the 50lb old fashionned window comes crashing down on wrist.
Sunday, May 17th: BAD BAD DAY!!!!!
Monday through Tuesday: arm getting bluer and purplier and puffier by the minute
Wednesday- TDB
So, there you have it, not one of my most spectacular pw's... nothing broken or sprained at any rate. But I'm sure you all have some better stories than that. Feel free to share.
Other than that, just getting the old apt. ready for the move. Same old shite. Leave in one week and 3 days. Can't wait to see everyone in TO!
TTFN,

Wow,
It's been ages since I've done an update. I love the new version of blogger... so pretty.
Anyway folks, my sincerest apologies for the lack of activity on Be Petty this last month (my friend Art gave me kakka for not having written anything since April... I'll try not to mention that he didn't update his for 2 months...oops, I guess I just mentionned it). So sue me people... I've been busy. It takes a lot of work to up and move across the country by yourself!!!
Do I have a job yet? Nope. A place to live? Nyet. A clue about anything at all??? Absafuckinglutely not! But that's half the fun right? I'll just keep telling myself that. But seriously, despite some people telling me that I am making the wrong decision (actually just one person) everyone, including my parents are very excited for me. Yay. And of course I am excited for myself. Worried? Yes. Afterall, I may be SUPERCOOL in little old Victoria, but will I be so in Toronto? I guess I should be thankful that I no longer strive to be a full time party girl... I hear the TO nightclubs are a tad more formal than the ones out here ("Like, oh ma gawd Britney, did you see that girl? She's like, wearing jeans out to a club? let's shun her!). Yes, some people fear world war, crime and clowns but not me (I trust you will all figure out that I am joking... mostly... I don't like clowns).
As I type, my car is in for a wee bit of servicing so I can sell it before I leave. Anyone wanna buy a Mazda 626? Car 5-0 is a very nice little car. Been around the block a few times and slightly abused by his current owner, but he would make a nice student a good little car. Any takers? Going once, twice....
So, besides packing etc... not much else new to report. I do have a RRDJ to throw out though. For a nice little getaway from reality, check out Van Helsing (Dee, think Lucius Malfoy and you'll figure out how to pronounce it, hee hee.... Harry Potter comes out June 4th yay... sorry folks, a little bit of an aside). I went and saw it this week with my good friend SAM who happend to spy the 2 production mistakes made in the entire film. Maybe those with a prediliction for being nitpicky should avoid the film. Anyway, a nice little yarn... good effects, interesting story, some plot twists, Hugh Jackman. You know, the usual things that make a movie a good one. Mmmmmm, Hugh Jackman... Talk amongst yourselves while I fantasize for a few minutes.......................................... Ok, I'm back. So, yah, check out Van Helsing, the newest movie to carry the Be Petty seal of approval. What's on the [plate next--Troy, this sunday suposedly. I'll let y'all know what I think of that. But with little Legolas in it, how can it not be good? Mmmmm, Legolas....
It's been ages since I've done an update. I love the new version of blogger... so pretty.
Anyway folks, my sincerest apologies for the lack of activity on Be Petty this last month (my friend Art gave me kakka for not having written anything since April... I'll try not to mention that he didn't update his for 2 months...oops, I guess I just mentionned it). So sue me people... I've been busy. It takes a lot of work to up and move across the country by yourself!!!
Do I have a job yet? Nope. A place to live? Nyet. A clue about anything at all??? Absafuckinglutely not! But that's half the fun right? I'll just keep telling myself that. But seriously, despite some people telling me that I am making the wrong decision (actually just one person) everyone, including my parents are very excited for me. Yay. And of course I am excited for myself. Worried? Yes. Afterall, I may be SUPERCOOL in little old Victoria, but will I be so in Toronto? I guess I should be thankful that I no longer strive to be a full time party girl... I hear the TO nightclubs are a tad more formal than the ones out here ("Like, oh ma gawd Britney, did you see that girl? She's like, wearing jeans out to a club? let's shun her!). Yes, some people fear world war, crime and clowns but not me (I trust you will all figure out that I am joking... mostly... I don't like clowns).
As I type, my car is in for a wee bit of servicing so I can sell it before I leave. Anyone wanna buy a Mazda 626? Car 5-0 is a very nice little car. Been around the block a few times and slightly abused by his current owner, but he would make a nice student a good little car. Any takers? Going once, twice....
So, besides packing etc... not much else new to report. I do have a RRDJ to throw out though. For a nice little getaway from reality, check out Van Helsing (Dee, think Lucius Malfoy and you'll figure out how to pronounce it, hee hee....

When is reality like a Deep Thought???
I found this while perusing the entertainment section on canada.com. In case you have been living in a hole for the past few months (I have and even I know), this is a reference to The Apprentice... not my favorite but good for a few laughs... I mean, it's no Joe Millionaire...
"When was an apprentice ever made the president of a company right away? And how can 15 people be fired when they were never hired in the first place? Those are questions that may never be answered."
The person who wrote this has obviously NEVER watched a single episode of a reality TV show. Since when does any of it make sense?
That is all,
Me

Wow!
FINALLY.... I have some exciting news. I am making the leap to join civilization in the big city. Yeppers, I am moving to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, North America, Western Hemisphere, Earth, Inner Solar Sysytem, Solar System, Orion Arm, Milky Way Galaxy, Local Cluster... well, you get the picture.
Although I am sad that I won't be joining my comrades at the Fort this Summer there are way too many things that I want to accomplish in the next few years and I can't do it in Victoria. If being stuck on this rock for the past couple of months has been good for anything, it has certainly allowed me to do an uber amount of soul searching. I searched and searched and searched and came to the realization that what I was looking for was NOT in Victoria--never has been and never will be. Too bad, so sad. Is it in Toronto? Who knows, but I'm willing to give it a go. But there are many people I will miss a lot. Maybe you all will come to your senses one day and get the heck out. Just joking. While it is not the place for me, based on how big it is getting, it must be doing something right. This is the last complaint you will hear from me on this matter, but wait... I feel this deserves a little something more... a Victu perhaps?
Ode to the Garden City
Small, small, waaaaaay to small
But aren't the flowers lovely?
Can't wait to get out!
T'is not my best to be sure, but I can't be on EVERYDAY people! What do you expect from me? I'm not perfect you know!
Later Skaters,
J

Howdy all!
Not anything super exciting to report today, except to inform everyone that I have embarked on a new adventure...in reading. How gay did that sound????!!???? Pretty gay! Since I recently followed my own RRDJ in purchasing and beginning Underworld by Graham Hancock I have come to the conclusion that all the painting I have been doing has killed a lot of my brain cells--the book makes my brain hurt. As I now have the intelligence of a 12-15 year old, I have decided to embark on a literary adventure targeted to that age group. What I REALLY want is to read the next Harry Potter but seeing as how that is not possible I thought "hey, maybe there is something else out there like it". And there just might be. Artemis Fowl is billed as a 12 year old criminal mastermind, rich and genius. Judging by the large type and unthickness of the book itself, I should be done it a week at the most. I know, I know, I hear you all laughing, but it has something called a LEPrecon Unit and faeries. I can't resist them! Shut up!
And while we are on the subject of books, I am reminded of the fact that I have not come up with a RRDJ for some time. And like my most recent Honku, this newest RR was inspired by someone else. My friend Dee sent me an e-mail with a Deep Thought by Jack Handey. Freaking hilarious! This is the one she sent: If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute
thing to tell him is
"God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying,
another cute thing to
tell him is "Probably because of something you did." It reminded me that I used to have a bunch of the books and that I practically peed my pants every time I read them. My friend Wee can attest to that. So is my RRDJ Jack Handey's Deep Thoughts???? Um...yes, sort of. Actually, I am really going for humour books in general.
I wonder whatever happened to my Letters from a Nut by Ted L. Nancy. Not heard of Ted L. Nancy? Shame on you. He is probably the craziest person on the face of the earth... crazy in the good sense, not like Dubbya or Hitler.
Dear MS. Ramey:
Thank you very much for answering my letter concerning the haunted sponge I bought from a Ralphs store. Ralphs has been and always will be the only store I shop in for my food and sponge needs.
In your letter to me you said that I would be hearing from the supplier of this songe. I have not heard from them. And this sponge is bad.
Can someone from Ralphs come and get this sponge from me? This sponge is out to get me. I am afraid.
After I got your letter I went down to my basement and locked that sponge in a steel box and put a chain around that box. Then I wrapped that box in tape and put a shackle around that. Then I boarded up the basement door with over 1000 nails. Then I put a manacle on that door. Then I went upstairs to my room to get a good nights sleep.
At about 3 o'clock in the morning I woke up and looked down. That sponge was right by my bed. I am scared. Please help me.
Also, do you sell Brillo at your store?
When will I hear from the supplier? I need to know. Thank you for your reply.
Sincerely,
Ted L. Nancy
Really, really funny stuff. I'll have to see if I can find the books and/or pick up the new ones. Anyway, the RRDJ is Humour books. We can all stand to laugh a little more! I think so anyway.
BFN,

Happy start of Easter long weekend everyone!
I trust everyone is doing well!?! I, for one, am dismayed at the lack of comments left by the visitor(s) to my blog. As I very much do not want to believe that no one is reading it... I am going to think deep down in my wee little heart that the reason no one is commenting is that there is a lack of content to be commented on!!! I am thinking I lost you all with my laments about living in the land of Nod. Well "Mr. and Mss'sssss think you are so superior because you all lead more exciting lives than me"... that is all in the past. Welcome to the new and improved Be Petty, where all your dreams will come true... just joking... here's hoping you find things a bit more interesting from now on.
The first order of business today... poetry. You seen them, read them, loved them and screamed for more... yes, I write about my Honkus. You may have noticed that of late, I have not really posted any... the last being one that was actually inspired NOT by yours truly. Being stuck in the middle of nowhere means that I have not done a whole lot of driving recently. This leaves me thinking... does that mean that I must give up the haiku form of poetry forever more? Or at least until an event of the driving nature occurs? To that I say No, no no!!! For those who know me well, you will have noticed that I have many, many pet peeves. And you know what this means??? There is a whole wide world out there and enough fodder for honku-like poems to fill up the large cavity that is Dubbya's rear! Think of the possibilities folks! And if you have any suggestions re: pet peeves, let me know because chances are I share your annoyance. On that note,here goes my very first ........................................................... Politiku...... My apologies to KS and everyone else who has faith in our democratic system:
Politiku #1
Did I vote for that?
I wanted to keep my job.
Cabin in the woods...
That is all,
J
