T-a couple of hours...

what a great day...combined with the fact that i'm done ALL my exams...and meeting up with my girls shelly and cat for SUSHI lunch, and then going on a 'date' with flo to the movies (long story, too tired to type it all out now...she can blog about it...) i think i'm officially seen off on a long and prosperous journey...hahahahaha.

i forgot to mention that i saw karen the other day. not much has changed, she's still the great friend that i met in highschool, and we DID run into monica and katherine from highschool...it was almost like a random 'abbey' reunion...we should do that...NOT! hahahaha.

anyway, i'm exhausted...i need some sleep...heehee.

i should go to japan more often...suddenly everyone feels the need to send me off. i had an amazing lunch with carl at the bottom line (we had some AMAZING pizza!) and then i went and bought my JR Pass (so exciting! it's beginning to seem so real!) and then i went back north to teach, and then went out to dinner with patty and jonathan! yes yes, i managed to twist jon's arm (nah, i just have a way with words! ;p) so we went out for sushi at this great ALL YOU CAN EAT place (omg, we ate till we were stuffed...and then we ate more!) patty almost fell asleep so jon drove me home, what a blast!...whoo jonathan...i swear, i'm in love with that kid!

saw my girls (simone and flo) for lunch (SUSHI!!!!!) and of course rich, who is still as hot as always...also met liz's parents when my mom and i went to pick up the tim horton's coffee, ketchup chips and cinnamon hearts they were sending her...awwww, this miss her so much!

the japan itinerary is done! i even have a plan A and plan B (i know, geeky, eh?) although, i'm still trying to book a night at the temples at koyasan....

so i've been trying to start this 'diet' (i put diet in quotes because it's not really one of those 'i don't eat' kind of diets, or 'no carbs' or 'no protein') it's essentially me eating less. i've realized that my exercising just counter-balances all the eating i do. and the last month i stopped going to the gym because of exams and stuff, and whoooo boy....let's not go there...hahahahaha! ;p

anyway, so i've been chatting with henry and getting his advice about what to not eat after 8pm and i keep breaking this 'diet' because everytime, i'd ask him if it's ok to eat this? no too much sugar, can i eat this? no too much carbs...hahahaha, and everytime i tell him i've been bad, and he just laughs and says, it's ok try again tomorrow....hahahaha...so yeh, the 'diet' isn't working out...oh well, i keep trying...

why isn't it working you ask? well, i just got back from going out to demetres (sp?) with omar, hashim and tariq, and let me tell you, those guys kill me. i haven't laughed so hard ever with a group of friends that weren't tanaks or karina...wow it's just maniacal! and so yeh, i had some awesome tiramisu and i came home and i told henry and he's just, it's ok, try again tomorrow...hahahaha

and yes, as flo says, i have a dawson...he's great, i can't believe that i can just walk out of my house at 10:30pm, and walk in at 1:30am....ONLY because he lives 2 mins from me....amazing!

what else is amazing? well, a certain friend of mine who shall remain nameless, has gotten a cellphone! after a year hiatus, it's about time!

the count-down has begun...exam on thursday and i'm outta here friday! whooo!

Notice me
Take my hand
Why are we
Strangers when
Our love is strong
Why carry on without me?

Everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you baby

I make believe
That you are here
It's the only way
I see clear
What have I done
You seem to move on easy

And everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you baby

I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song is my sorry

Ohhhh

At night I pray
That soon your face
Will fade away

And everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you baby

- everytime

it's been such a long time since i've seen music videos and hear the new songs. i don't know what's going on in britney's new music video, but i love the song. i also like avril's song "don't tell me", go feminists!

awesome! i got gmail too. so from now on, ppl, please send your emails to meowie@gmail.com. whoooo! (for the record, i was so jealous when flo said she got an invitation to gmail and i was like 'i didn't!' i checked all my email accounts and got nothing...hahahaha, it's on BLOGGER...duh!)

i'm not the only person to award the 'DUH!' to! simone is such a silly goose! she thought she had a sociology exam last night, and when she went to the room yesterday, it was empty! so she went with georges and reza to figure out what happened...and the exam is TODAY! not only that, but she also managed to mix up the day of her calculus exam too! it's not tomorrow, it's FRIDAY! on the up side, she didn't get to miss the killer game last night! yay yay eddie! yay yay leafs! (ames was wondering if those weren't two big bug eyes on the top of lalime's helmet? i had no idea!)

my hair's gotten really really long. i want to cut it, but i don't know what style i want to cut it into. i liked it the way it was last summer (yes, that was almost a year ago...) but i didn't like the fact that it was like a rat tail when i put it up in a pony tail! henry is very against this idea, hahahaa. he like's my "volumptous" hair volume. hahahaha. well, no worries yet, this is only an idea, i'm too chicken to do anything drastic....yet.

i'm really excited about my trip. i've been chatting with liz on msn and she's so helpful! i can't wait to see her! whooooo!

anyway, enough sitting on my ass...

boo. sens win, the leafs are too slow.

who's colin?

i'm so tired of school. i want tomorrow over now.

this has been bugging me for a couple of days....someone told me that their impression of me was that i'm "lady-like". whoever agrees with that comment, please feel free to let me know WHY they have that impression of me! i'm not insulted or anything....just...FLABBERGASTED (hahaha, gotta love that word!) i feel that clearly this person doesn't know me, because i don't THINK i'm lady-like at all. hahahahaha. mind you, i'm not saying i'm VULGAR....just....not necessarily the epitome of feminity (? is that a word? yes, i know i have a habit of making up words....shitakular, desperality...to name a few...) it's just that when i think "lady-like" i think "high maintenance" like those girls who can't live without spending an hour on hair and makeup and jewelery.

so really, i'd like to know what it is about me that would give off that impression, if at all. i 'd like to make some sort of witty comeback to that person who made such an outrageous suggestion! ;p

How Seductive are You?
Savvy Sex Kitty
You know that to attract a guy you need to drop a delicious hint ("I'm thinking of checking out this new comedy show on Friday"), step back and let him nibble on the bait. Sure, you'll sometimes kick it up a notch by asking for a guy's number or playfully touching his arm, but you don't throw yourself at him. "To invite a guy's interest, you realize that you don't have to be as outwardly sexual as propping up your cleavage or offering him a back massage at a bar," says Logan Levkoff, sexologist and sex educator in New York City. Instead, your brand of sexy is subtly playful, whether it's making a joke about the ketchup you spilled on yourself or smiling at your crush while you dance with your friends. "You give off the vibe that you're having fun, and that's what makes you so appealing," says Levkoff.

i'm so peeved. and frustrated. and did i mention i was peeved?

i walked to starbucks this evening (it's takes like 20 mins to get there) and i was hoping to study at the coffee shop for like 2 hrs and then go home. but when i arrived, it was PACKED TO THE MAX with people. i asked the bartender if was less busy as the night wore on, and he answered that it got busier...BUSIER?!!?!?!? *sigh* this is what you get when there's only one starbucks around my area...everyone crowds there. there's a second cup across from starbucks, but i'm betting it's just as crowded. i just want someplace nice to drink a cup of chai (whoo chai!) and to study for my exam. apparently i'm not going to get that up where i live...why can't i live somewhere that has coffee shops on every corner of street?!?!?!

at least i got some sort of exercise going on...hahahaha, after being on hiatus for a month, my muscles are going to kill me after ABT. whoo ABT! the sad news is that she's gone after next week...i don't know what the future of ABT is and that sucks butt. someone call a doctor! that and plus david won't be here for groove nation for the next 3 weeks...what is this world coming to?

so i'm trying to type mindless jabber on blogger, but i can't even keep anything straight in my mind because my train of thought is being constantly punctuated with my sister's phone conversation with her friend about some sort of chemistry lab experiment...something about the teacher joking with the class....half the class dropped out??? ugh....i'm peeved...

i want to see pictures! i hear they're pretty good....well except for the ones where people look either retarded or high...hahahahaha...i want to see pictures....


i've been procrastinating like there's no tomorrow. this weather makes me sleepy, i think i'm going to take ANOTHER nap...hahahaahaha, way to continue the procrastination....i guess i'll be up working on mr. dworkin tonight...booo...

The Ten Commandments of a University Student

I- Thou Shalt Nap
And God gave unto Student a great gift, the gift of napping. God said to
him, You shall spend half your day napping. You shall nap in class, in your
room and in your friend's room. And God said, if you don't nap, you will not
be able to stay up all night drinking. And Student said, Nap I shall, and it
was good.

II- Thou Shalt Get Sick All the Time
Now God said to Student, you must be sick all of the time. And student
said "why?" And God said unto him, you shall share drinks, stay up too late,
drink too much and make out with people you don't know. Therefore, God said,
you shall be sick all year round. But God said, blessed are the sick for
they have partied the hardest. And it was good.

III- Thou Shalt Write Witty Away Messages
Student asked, but God, how will I show everyone that I am funny? And God
said unto him, thou shall write witty away messages. God said to student,
you shall never just say you are in the shower, you shall say you are
getting wet and wild in the shower. You shall never say you are at class,
you shall say you are sleeping.in class. God said, if you do not write witty
away messages, I shall smite you. Blessed are the funny, for they will get
many girls to be their friends but never hook up with them. And it was good.

IV- Thou Shalt Wear a Hoodie
And then Student asked God, God how do I look like a college kid. And God
said unto student, you must wear a hoodie, for it is a useful garment. And
you shall never wash it either. Student asked God what kind of Hoodie should
it be and God said, you shall own one with your school's logo on it and you
shall own many others of varying colors and creeds. And Student was pleased
and God was pleased.

V- Thou Shalt Shit a Lot
And Student asked of his bathroom habit and God told him, Student, you
shall eat in the Cafeteria and you shall shit a lot. And it will not be good
shit, it will be the shit of the devil for your ass shall burn for hours.
Your school shall put laxatives in their food and you shall feel their pain.
And Student began to weep, and God said unto him, Student, fear not the
shit, for all your fellow students will be experiencing the same. And
Student dried his eyes and thanked God and God told him to use wet naps to
ease the pain.

VI- Thou Shalt Eat EasyMac
Student asked unto God if there was any alternatives to the cafeteria, and
God said to him, you shall eat a lot of EasyMac. It is easy to make and you
don't need milk or a stove. And student said microwaves were forbidden by
the RA. And God said to him, you shall hide the microwave under your bed
with a towel on top. And Student asked, what if it is discovered. And God
told him to stop being such a pussy, and it was good.

VII- Thou Shalt Hook Up
Student then asked of sex. And God said, Student, you shall hook up and be
happy. You shall go home with random people every weekend and forget about
them the next day. You shall see them at class and be awkward amongst their
company. You shall exchange saliva at bars and parties and it will be good.
And Student became gleeful and God told Student to wrap it up because He
knows where she has been, but Student does not.

VIII- Thou Shalt Join a Club and Never Go to Meetings
Student inquired of his spare time and God reminded him that he should be
napping. But Student said he wanted to do other things. So God said unto
him, you shall join a club at the beginning of the semester, but then never
go to meetings. And Student asked why he should not go to meetings, and God
told him, because the glee club is gay. And Student understood His wisdom.

IX- Thou Shalt Wake Up Confused
God said to Student, there will come many a day when you shall wake up in
the bed of another and not know where you are. You will not remember what
you did last night and you shall be confused. You will see that you have
nipple rings and a tattoo now and are covered in Sharpie (and baby powder!).
And Student was disturbed by this, but God said, you shall tell great
stories about it to your friends someday. And Student understood and God
took a sip of a beer.

And God gave Student the final Commandment

X- Thou Shalt Gain Weight
And Student wished to hear the final commandment and God said he would not
like it. But Student insisted, so God said unto him, you shall gain weight.
However, God said, you will not buy new clothes, so you will wear sweat
pants a lot. God said, Student, you will watch a lot of TV and become fat to
which Student wept profusely. But God comforted Student saying, you will
still get ass even if you cannot tie your shoes anymore. Student felt better
and God pointed to Student's chest saying, those will soon be bitch tits.
And it was good.

This is the word of God, follow the Ten Commandments of College or you
will be smite!

On another note, i have registered for my summer classes, it's all good!

to continue the procrastination, i have now uploaded my pictures from the formal and winterfest party....

thanks to ben who had me laughing off my ass for at least 5 mins....flabbergasted...

FLABBERGASTED

To be surprised or astonished.

The British comedian Frankie Howerd used to say in mock astonishment: “I’m flabbergasted—never has my flabber been so gasted!”. That’s about as good an explanation for the origin of this word as you’re likely to get. It turns up first in print in 1772, in an article on new words in the Annual Register. The writer couples two fashionable terms: “Now we are flabbergasted and bored from morning to night”. (Bored—being wearied by something tedious—had appeared only a few years earlier.) Presumably some unsung genius had put together flabber and aghast to make one word.

The source of the first part is obscure. It might be linked to flabby, suggesting that somebody is so astonished that they shake like a jelly. It can’t be connected with flapper, in the sense of a person who fusses or panics, as some have suggested, as that sense only emerged at the end of the nineteenth century. But flabbergasted could have been an existing dialect word, as one early nineteenth-century writer claimed to have found it in Suffolk dialect and another—in the form flabrigast— in Perthshire. Further than this, nobody can go with any certainty.

after this, my sister and i started looking up some other words...these are HILARIOUS! (yes, we're geeks...)

fo' shizzle my nizzle

"fo shizzle ma nizzle" is a bastardization of "fo' sheezy mah neezy" which is a bastardization of "for sure mah nigga" which is a bastdardization of "I concur with you whole heartedly my African american brother"

OR

For sure, my nigga. Should only be used by a black person, to a black person - unless you want your ass kizzled. Variations acceptable for use by whitey include:

fo' shizzle my sizzle = For sure, my sister.
fo' shizzle my bizzle = For sure, my brother.
Yes sir, Suge sir. Right away sir. = Please Suge, don't kill me.

Whitey 1: Hey man, are you going to the club tonight?
Whitey 2: Fo' shizzle, my bizzle. Right after I watch the game on my televizzle.
Whitey 1: Sorry Suge sir, don't kill him.

dumps like a truck

A large booty. From dump truck: a vehicle with a large area for hauling things. It's just the woman-car metaphor with another twist. see junk in the trunk, badonkadonk

That girl got dumps like a truck, yo!

badunkadunk

a dick-bouncin, dynamic booty, that defies the laws of physics and reminds men why we wanna be dogs or an urban term used to define approval of the voluptuous curvature of a feminie rump.

We snapped our necks 'round, lost the beat of the funk, and laid our eyes upon Maryjane's beautiful badunkadunk.

The posterior of the female anatomy when concerning the homosapien species. In which the diameter of the said posterior is not to exceed 50 inches but not to go below 40 inches. Equally as important the owner of the badunkadunk must possess a waist line no larger than 2/3 the diameter of the badunkadunk.

Noun: She has a nice badunkadunk
Verb: Her ass seems to be badunkadunking

weapon of ass destruction

A loud, stinky room-clearing fart that often leaves a skid-mark in the farter's underpants. Usually the result of eating greasy food.

Goddam, Bob! Lay off the chilli! I can smell that Weapon of Ass Destruction all the way down the hall!

Gay slang for an exceptionally large penis, so named because of its tendency to cause anal bleeding during buggery. (see also dumdum bullet)

Hello Mr Archer, welcome to Belmarsh Prison. Your cellmate is Mad Mickey McPerve, i'd be very wary of him if i were you, he has a weapon of ass destruction, and he's not afraid to use it.

hahahahaha....ok, now i gotta finish my report...

i would like to take this time to say how much i appreciate people. to my dear friend, ellan, thank you so much for taking the time to meet up with me and lend me your digital camera to take pictures. without ellan, i would have nothing, and my lab report would be shot to hell. however, due to my inability to take pictures, a lot of them came out really bright and white, and the detail was lost on a lot of them. so i was still kind of freaking out....this is where warren comes to the rescue! this amazing kid sent me an email with the url to some of his own pictures, and let me tell you, i almost cried. (well, that and plus i'm so tired....up late on the phone last night....hahahahaha...that's a story to be saved for another time...hahahaa)

i just sent my phone in to get the antennae fixed...now i have a ghetto large flip phone...cool! hahahaha. i also don't know how to get the salt out of my jeans from the winter (it's obvious i don't wear these jeans often...) and so now i'm sporting a new style of having salt stains on the back of my jeans....hahahaha, oh brother.

wow, this japan thing is going to be sooooo totally cool! now that i've found out that chris, cass and michelle are going as well, it will definitely make the trip alot more fun! i'll probably spend the first week with liz and her golden week doing stuff that she hasn't done yet, and then when the trio gets into tokyo we'll go all out (well, unless cass pulls her 'princess complex' and then we'll all have to stay in tokyo and help her find her future japanese husband at the shopping malls and clubs....yech)

the only bad thing is that when i get back, i'll be poor beyond belief...hahahahaaa....i guess moving out will have to wait another year....well, unless i get a good job that pays a lot more then i'm getting now....hmmmm

SCHOOLS OUT!
nyah nyah! i finished my second final last night, and i think it went well considering i knew the answers to the questions and that's always a good thing! it turned out that the test wasn't as hard as thought it would be, and i did well on the essay (well, minus the 6% late penalty...boooo)

went out with simone and rich for drinks at o'gradys and uri and ben stopped by...good times! *wink wink* (that one's for you, flo...hahahahaha) 2 hot guys, too much to handle! hahahaha

oh, i wish i were an oscar meyer weiner...

if i was an oscar meyer weiner right now, i wouldn't have to study for my final...hmmmm....
studying sucks ass. the good thing is that stuff is sinking in and the content is so incredibly interesting and great. the bad thing is that i'm not nearly done with my lecture notes (i was hoping that by this time i'd be done so that i could go through my textbook....but oh well, there goes my A) but i'll be done by 6pm tonight.

wish me luck!

tarik, you better be waiting for me after class you bastard....hahahahahaha

i was up until 4am this morning studying for my final bellringer and i got up at 7:30 am to go over to shelly's and study a little bit more before i had at it 10am. brutal. the good thing is that this time, the test didn't seem quite as hard (hmm....maybe because i studied so much at the last minute??!?!? or maybe it's because they're on homo specimens and i just find them so much more interesting...hahahaha)

right before the final, shelly and i were joking about feeling ppl's occipital buns...hahaha...except that it's not what you think it is, and anatomically modern human beings don't have them...hahahaha. as well, we rehashed the "tofu" date for nicole and this really cute guy was standing right next to me, and he totally couldn't stop laughing. and he likes tofu too! i think i've started a new dating trend! hahahahaha!

so now i'm at home and going to nap now. oh, don't be fooled by the sunshine, the wind cuts like a knife...

i really wanted to blog on thursday right after i got off of the subway...

the train was leaving summerhill and heading towards rosedale when the train conductor's voice is heard: "attention all subway passengers, i regret to inform you that all trains will be out of service from rosedale to dupont station..." you can literally hear the collective groan in the subway car, as well, i start swearing like a mofo and calculating that walking from rosedale isn't REALLY that far from the library.... "all today, tomorrow, maybe next week, maybe the next couple of months..." by this time i realize that this is too awful to be possible and then two words flash in my head and i turn to simone and say: APRIL FOOLS! "happy april fools everyone!" now everyone is all relieved and smiling, and yes it was a great joke because everyone had a heartattack, but no one died. i was so excited about this, that as we got off at wellesley, i turned and waited for the train to go by and told the conductor that it was an awesome joke!

my cousin, lanthia, just had a girl! her name is krystal and she's the most adorable thing in the world! lachlan sent me some pictures and he's calling her "little monkey". i wish i could see them, hmmm....maybe i'll go to australia next year.....

oh and i've got pictures! of course i'm too lazy to scan them in and stick them on the website, so you'll have to wait another week or so before i have enough time to be able to procrastinate.
