ok, i lied. i told flo i wasn't going to blog because i didn't have any time...and then i decided to blog. oops.

but to blog about what? RIGHT....about nothing...about all the work i have to do yet instead i'm doing THIS. hmmm...where to begin? well. i was supposed to have finished organizing my notes for my presentation monday (ok, it looks like i'm a nerd and have it done early, but in all actuality, i have to meet up with my presentation partner TOMORROW and it would look AWFUL if i didn't have my end of the work done when hers is done...comprende?) but i'm just wayyyyyy too tired. at least i finished the upcoming readings for social/cultural anthro....

i have work tomorrow until the afternoon, and then i'm thinking of doing a step class before meeting up with maryanne...which is cool, except it's a level 4 step class and i've only ever done level 1 step classes, so i'm wondering who's the trooper in this situation?

oooh, did i mention i have a test on tuesday? that's right....i have a test on tuesday and i really should get cracking on the studying...except that it's supposed to be a really easy test...35 T/F and they're supposed to be really intuitive and you have a 50/50 chance of getting it right or wrong, so really, you don't have to study and do absolutely amazing on it. hmmm...what a concept...

why else am i tired? because i was up at 7am this morning so that i could be downtown for work at 9am...what's that? i don't teach that early in the morning downtown? i know. hahahahahahahah....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....looks like someone's got a NEW job...now it means i'll have less time then ever to do nothing. i'll be working two jobs, 4 classes (for now...but not if you count music history, which i haven't even started studying for and i really really should...), AND a social life. it's a really good thing that i don't have a significant other to lavish my lack of attention on, otherwise i'd have to end my life. and that would be so wrong.

but now that my eyelids are involuntarily closing while i'm typing...it's my cue to end my misery now. NOW.

bedtime!

i nearly blacked out during my step class in the gym today. scariest feeling i've ever felt. i was sooo tired, but i've never not finished a class before and i didn't think it was anything, so the trooper that i was, i tried to continue on. but by the end of the routine, i was seeing spots...and then it got sooo much that i couldn't see the instructor anymore, and then all i could think to myself was "don't pass out, or throw up....that would be soooo embarrassing!" so i just left the class early and sat myself down to relax. yeh yeh, i know, i'm crazy, flo's told me a million times. ahahahah... but i'm all good now...

now that i've done crap all this weekend, and i'm trying to catch up. unfortunately the weather is anything but nice, and i've got this nice little migraine going on in my head. sigh. oh well. that's all

i can't believe it's saturday and that mom's coming home tomorrooooowwwww....damn! i didn't have nearly enough time to wreak havoc with the car! hahahaha.

grandma's home for a couple of days too. the poor dear. she doesn't get enough baths because the nurses are so busy (what kinda of fucking excuse is that!?!?!?!?) and the first thing she asks to eat is veggies...why? because they don't give vegetables there!!!! WTF?!?!?!?! like seriously, shouldn't these ppl know that older ppl NEED to have enough vegetables for their systems so they can do their #2?!?!? geez! even i know that! well, all i can say is that for the duration of her homestay, she can have as much sleep and veggies as she wants. and i think she showered already. damn transit system...

oh another note...thursday night's graffiti was KICKASS! after downing 3 rum and cokes as soon as i got there (2 free drink tickets at the door, plus i obtained one from JP after he dared me to chug one of them) i was busting out the moves!!! hahaha, i remember tee pointing at me and laughing, saying..."miao's DRUNK!!!" hahahaha. i had this little asian frosh kid following me around the whole evening like a puppy dog...that i didn't really appreciate....ESPECIALLY b/c he's a) asian, b) shorter then me, c) younger then me, d) did i mention he was asian? and e) he's smc. not that i have anything against smc, it's just that at this point in my university career, smc ppl are just way tooo much like family...and you don't date family ppl. i don't care...that's my rule and i'm sticking to it.

i forgot to mention that elections were that day and after counting the ballots are winners are...carlo, avril, melissa, annamaria, and kat! avril almost got thrown over the balcony. this dude was drunk and avril wanted a picture with him, and he picked her up for the photo shot, but after he swung her really really close to the edge of the balcony (we were at the top of ice lounge) and she and i were like "OMG!"...and then he put her down and this bouncer guy came up to him, and was like "yo, that was NOT cool, you made my bouncer friend downstairs mad" and we looked over the railing and there was this BIG guy staring up at us, wearing a leather jacket and black glasses, and a scowl...and the other bouncer escorted the drunk guy out. ooops....

wrote an email to liz. that girl kills me...survived an earthquake and is now taking karate lessons!!!! i told her to take pictures and to send them to us so we can see her in a karate outfit!

but i really should catch up on some much need to do readings...especially since i didn't go out tonight like i was supposed toooooo.....

i HATE my ant204Y1 8-9pm tutorial class. i hate it with a passion....the people in it are very very self-rightous (I KNOW EVERYTHING....) and snobby (if their noses were turned up any higher, a hail droplet could clog it), it boring, useless, and worst of all, there are people in that class that remind me off people that i don't want be reminded of. I HATE that class. oh, and it's late at night and i'm hungry.

hey hey! guess where i am? yup, georges room. hahaha. i just finished my first test of the year, PHL281. was a funny course. the professor gave us two questions last week, and then he told us that he was going to ask one of those two questions today, AND the test is only 5% so if you screw up, it's ok, you can still get 95%. hahahaha. well, unless you wanted 98%, then you're screwed. ahhhh...sometimes i kill myself!

so now that this test is done, i technically could do nothing for the next two weeks! however, me being the goody-two-shoes... (NOT!!!) i'll be trying to get some essays and assignments out of the way for the next two months. that's cuz the first week of december is my hell week. Three tests in three days, plus an assignment, but we'll worry about the assignment later.

nothing else of utter importance, so i guess that's it for now.

so i did the cibc run for the cure, and it was just awesome! there were soooo many people out running/jogging/walking...with dogs and children and everything! the weather was nice and sunny, and mildly cold...just right! the whole experience of running with people is great, and i haven't really gotten off the kick i got out of doing this. i'm thinking of doing a marathon in 2 weeks, wouldn't that be fun?

also, we're doing fine considering grandma's gone, and mom's in australia. mom pulled a me. she hasn't called yet and dad was like "why hasn't she called?" , and it's just luck that i talk to lachlan and he said everything is fine, otherwise we'd all be freaking out and thinking that she forgot to board at honolulu and is stuck in the states somewhere! wouldn't that be an adventure?

i feel like i haven't done any work this weekend...maybe a little bit, but not as much as i would have liked. a combination of procrastination, no mom around my back (well, not that she really does that anymore), and i'm still sick. i've been sick since wednesday, shouldn't this cold be over already? it's more of a annoyance then anything else. it really does make me feel sluggish and not wanting to do work. however, i must say that it's aaron that keeps me going. that boy is a workaholic, and as he's telling me all the essays he's written, and the readings he's done, i'm like....i should do some work too! hahaha.

sooooo......i should do some work.

just wanted to let everyone know that i feel like crap. that's right, who knew that a cold could take me out like that?!?!?!

the day started fine, with me a flo going down to help tee set up for her volunteer fair today. which was a great success, i loved helping them put up the streamers and balloons. THEN i had classes one after another, groove nation...and then another brutal 3 hrs until 9pm. my darling aaron did groove nation with me and he left his book in my bag, and not until i went to class did i realize that i hadn't given it back to him, so i had to wait at UC at 9pm to give it back...and then they locked the front doors at 8:55pm and so that was such a huge hassle, and by that time i felt like the lowest of crap. my nose is fully plugged up, my ears are plugged and congested, my throat is scratchy and dry, and my eyes are watery....great stuff.

PLUS i rode the subway home with this really cute guy that flo introduced me to (he was going to my station) and i'm just thinking, wow you're soooo cute. hahahaha. me looking like crap. yay. besides, i haven't seen any really cute ppl in the longest time...school and work are just taking wayyy too much of my time.

i just hope i'll be well enough for ABT tomorrow. ;p

i'm feeling particularly stressed right now. i'm not exactly sure what it is...but i'm willing to bet it has something to do with not enough time to finish readings, and assignments and reports are looming up ahead. i guess it's also cuz i just attended yet another boring and pointless phl281 lecture and it's making me wonder whether or not it's worth going to class anymore. yet i'm too chicken to miss half a lec or not attend at all. plus, no matter how much i read, i'm still behind in my readings...i wonder why? maybe the readings are the size of novels?!?!?!? honestly, in order to keep up with your readings, it's mandatory that you have no life. i'm wondering how much it's worth to actually do the readings...even though you spend such a fortune on them. and to imagine that i thought i'd have time on my hands...HA!

i've also decided that i really don't like school so much in the fall/winter. why? because there's simply too many people here. i don't know if it's partly the double cohort, or what...but i feel that i can't go anywhere to simply chillax. the back office is null (no one uses it, i wonder why? it's so nice back there) and other places that i used to go during the summer are always packed full of people. just getting this computer at gerstein was pure luck. i can't take naps at UC anymore. time to make new guy friends! hahahaha (jokes)

now i'm just wasting time because i don't want to read....and because i want to piss off some people who are staring at me to get off the computer. hahaha. i guess they want to use it for important stuff such as checking email??

TOO BAD.

Where do we go, nobody knows
Don't ever say you're on your way down when
God gave you style and gave you grace,
And put a smile upon your face oh yeah

When the truth is
I miss you
Yeah the truth is
That I miss you so

I hear the sound of the ticking of clocks
Who remember your face
Who remembers you when you are gone

Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah, they were all yellow.

what a great toga party!! of course, i was one of the few ppl who went in normal clothing, and i was the one who felt out of place. the toga's were out in full force, with the normal white colors along with pink, red, purple and even green! i didn't even think of bringing a bedsheet with me, oh well. lots of ppl that i hadn't seen in a long time...jason juhatz, matt flanigan, nicole, patterson...and then there was everyone else. it was aaron's birthday that night and he was sooo drunk! so much fun!

of course, there was one shadow cast upon that night has been with me since. as my dad was driving me to smc, he revealed to me that my grandma was moving out of the house. of course this came as a huge shock to me. i haven't been home at all for awhile now, and i don't even see her very much, even if she DOES live at home with me. and now i wish that i hadn't found out about this so late. she's leaving TOMORROW, to go to a nice chinese seniors home up in richmond hill. now i wish i'd spent more time with her while she's still been around.

i remember while i was still in highschool (with time on my hands), i'd watch chinese soap operas with at night, and we discuss the crazy story lines and enjoy each other's company. i'd always been there with her to talk about anything we wanted, from visiting her friends, to the past when she lived in HK, dad growing up......ever since she fell last christmas and broke her arm, i've seemed to have lost touch with her.

it seems that everything changes, even things that you always think won't. they do. nothing remains the same.

thus, the coldplay lyrics are attributed to her.

Thought of the Day:
Never hold your farts in,
They travel up your spine into your brain...
And that's when you get crap ideas.

hahahaha. hilarious. gotta thank jene for that email.

joe figs and mike muir are in my ant204 class. kickass. and the lecturer let us out early today cuz she talks fast and digresses, and i have a tutorial at 8pm so that means i can't go home yet. damn tutorial. i had to switch to this damnass late one cuz i have practical next semester that's from 9-1pm and then i have class from 1-2, 2-3:30, 4:30-5:30 (groove nation! which i didn't go to today...and i'm blaming that on georges...wow, it's been awhile since i've mentioned him, huh? hahahaha...but i digress...), 6-8, which leaves 8-9 for....tutorial...

so i met flo today to go to school, and who had she picked up at the station?!?!?!? yup....steve conte. wow it's been a long time since i've seen that boy. AND plus he was wongie and bozek's frosh leader...coool. and plus i realized the other day that ppl in london don't start school until october...lucky lucky.

ah i'm tired. i stayed up until 1am this morning...not because i was doing work....yeh right...nope, i was watching...gilmore girls. hahahaha. i love that show. and then after, i was going to go to bed, but there's this new tv series called "one tree hill" and chad michael murray's in it...so then i HAD to watch that too! and now i'm soooo tired...luckily there's this thing called COFFEEEEEE!!!!! whooohooo.

damn it, i should go to class now.

what a retarded day. i was in an element of fiery temperment by the end of class. the goddamn wind and rain combined with my cheapass $5 chinatown umbrella just didn't work, the umbrella kept flipping out...and then i raged about my predicament to jenny. i had a headache all day, i think it was from the weather. i almost fell asleep in bioethics, tee and i were dying of boredom (plus i had my headache going on at that time), so i started popping pills (okok, just a tylenol but come on, doesn't it sound more dramatic the way i put it?)

ran about 10 laps at queen's park today so that was fun. it didn't start to rain until around 11am, so i didn't run in the rain.

i'm so mad at myself. i'm craving something, but i'm not sure what it is that i want to eat, and i'm basically eating everything from rice crackers, granola, and cookies...but i'm not satisfying the craving....i have a sneaking suspicion that i want to eat frozen yogurt....or....hashbrowns!

confusion reigns


first off, it's raining. i never really enjoyed being in the rain. i love the SOUND of rain, but i don't like being wet. it makes my hair frizzy and then i get cold. and sometimes if the rain texture is just right, and the drops are falling on my head, it tickles my head. and then i won't stop laughing.

went out to dinner with faye and karina yesterday at....oja's. we were "celebrating" faye's birthday...oh, and mine too. it was kinda funny because we were going to go to the madison for food and drinks, but karina forgot her ID, and then we were reduced to being 18 yrs old again, and wandering around looking for someplace to eat. the bill was the cheapest we'd seen in ages (and that's good!) especially since i've been spending money like my life depended on it. not on clothes, mind you, but on stupid stupid books. ok...maybe they're not all that stupid, but they ARE EXPENSIVE. $170 on ONE course. but at least i have all my books now. i've discovered that if i carry no money on me, i'd spend no money on coffee. but as soon as i have money on me, i just spend it on some frivolous item...such as a postcard for ms. bozek. or coffee, or food...and it goes on until i'm broke again.

i'm hoping to call tanaka tonight. shit's been stirring in the pot, and it's not good. to be getting drunk on a thursday night when she's got school the next morning, means serious business. luckily, karina will be visiting tomorrow so hopefully she can help clear things up. i'm only sorry that i won't be coming up this weekend, the phone will have to do. however, faywood and i will try to come up sometime in november. hang on!!!!!

you know, life would be boring if we didn't have our crisis' but sometimes there's just TOO MUCH.

then, i believe that would be called stress.

it's true...when life gives you lemons...you can clone them and make super lemons...or you can eat hashbrowns. (the former is from clone high, and the latter is what i do)

so far, life has decided to have fun with me, and has been THROWING lemons at me. it's been pretty hard to dodge them all, and i've been getting hit a couple of times, but i'm working really hard at letting them roll off my back. in the words of andrea "life is a series of mountains and valleys, the trick is to find the highest mountain"

sometimes i wonder if i'm too nice. too nice in the sense that ppl would take advantage of the fact that i'd let things go ...and stomp on me. i don't have a hard skin, i take many things to heart, and even though i try really hard, it's difficult for me to keep my emotions in check. most ppl who meet me think i'm fun and sociable, and always happy. i've always had that problem. ppl would see me as this perpetually happy "little" (i'm not very little anymore) girl and would always be surprised when they see my not so happy side. what? like i'm not human?

i've always told myself to try and hide my emotions. i believe that showing one's emotions is a weakness. i usually do a pretty good job, but lately, my emotions have been getting the best of me. when i haven't been doing my readings (which i'm behind in ALREADY), i've been mulling over the fact that, third year has gotten off to a rough start. since the beginning, it's sucked. i don't know if it's because i'm beginning to see a different side to some ppl (oh, how i wish i was still the naive little girl i was in first year) or if perhaps it's me that's changing and straying apart from the pack. i wouldn't necessarily say i'm going through ANOTHER quarter-life crisis. maybe i am, but i don't want to think that. maybe i'm just being overwhelmed with the amount of work and stress that's been going on. after all, i haven't really had a DECENT break in a while.

perhaps it's just the time of the year, i'm beginning to really miss the good old highschool days with my abbey girls. i haven't seen them in a long while, and i starting to worry about my ability to laugh with abandon. i haven't had any HEARTY LAUGHING FITS in a very very long time. i wonder if it's part of growing up. i hope not. i love laughing too much to give it up. but nothing seems to really amuse me anymore. sometimes i find my own laughing...almost...fake...and that scares me.

oh i have so much reading to do.

so i'm in the middle of reading this incredibly long anthropological paper and i decided to blog...great...now i've resorted to procrastinating AFTER i've begun my work.

the past week has been long, stressful and frustrating. i don't think i'll ever get into ant334 so i've enrolled in ant204 which actually seems pretty good, although the prof seems to be the type that goes off topic, whatever... and the prof for ant434 has given me permission to take her course without the ant334 prerequisite but the anthropology coordinator is giving me trouble for god knows why. i guess it's just to add to the whole stress experience. since i'm not in ant334 anymore, i'm now going to school 3 days a week. and it's not like my 3 days are crammed full of school...nooooo...infact it seems pretty surreal to me. i think it's crazy.

i've seen so many people this week it's insane. met up with ava on monday, spent half the day with charlene on tuesday helping her around campus because she just transferred from queens and afterall, u of t st. george is a hugeass campus and a map just doesn't cut it. i've discovered that my joint anthro-linguistic course is going to be kickass, considering that i never knew that my prof is some renowned semiotic person, marcel danesi, and i knew that it would be good because he started off his lecture saying "so, i forgot that i had to teach this course tonight, and i've only just printed off your course outlines..." fun fun. let's just say that i don't need timmy's for tuesday nights.

i think i'll probably still sit in on the ant334 lectures. that way i can still gain the information i need for ant434 and then be ahead of my fellow classmates whenever i decide (or when rosi decides) to take this course.

went out to dinner with patty on friday and we were going to visit her sister, rosita, at her dance class...but unfortunately, patty's mom needed to go to the hospital so we're all now praying that everything will be alright. queenie brought her "boyfriend" (i have boyfriend in brackets because she claims that they are only seeing each other and nothing else...this "seeing" has been going on for awhile too....hmmm...hahaha) to the studio and monica was having mini-heartattacks because they would leave the door closed...speaking of heartattacks, i had one in the middle of the u of t bookstore thursday night when i went to buy books with one of nao's friends, nicola. the photocopied book i was buying was priced at $105 but on the internet it said $38. so i died...but then i became resigned and decided i'd have to buy the book as i had no other choice, and then at the cash register it was discovered that the book WAS $38 so then i recovered. talk about killing the heart. i also would have gone to visit steve (nao's boyfriend) as it was his birthday, but alas, i had no present and it got pretty late before they left so i went home.

saturday was great because ALL my students came for class, which means i'm making $$$ again (with no hugeass gaps) and then after work, i went rollerblading with karen and eugene at my park which was great! karen's mom insisted on taking me out to dinner afterward (claiming it was my birthday dinner) and we went to swiss chalet, where she entertained us with her stories as a piano teacher (or as she claims, a MEAN piano teacher...hahaha!) and since it was quite unexpected that i'd be out all night saturday, i got no homework done, which is not exceptionally great.

so now i have to finish my readings, and hence, my procrastination is finished for now.

what a fun day.

just hanging around downtown campus and you run into sooo many people...old and new. saw tom as i went by the AC to pickup the activities schedule, and then ran into john colarchal and matt flanigan and christine. ran into gap boy, stephan, at the registrars office and had a revelation...apparently more then one guy "liked" me while i was working at the gap...interesting...yet at the same time, disturbing. met up with ava for "lunch" and stuff. it was great. flo has beautiful hair, she doesn't believe me when i tell her it's awesome, so in the end i tell her it looks awful and then she's happy. weird girl.

i picked up my dress from formal today. hahaha. i've been waiting for that dress since forever! caroline brooks borrowed it to wear to the formal (as i wore something else) and she added such a pretty piece of lace to the bottom of it. i might wear it to this years formal...and maybe add a colorful shawl or something...as it's BLACK...

tee's in my phl281 class and it's fun...so far. the professor is expected to become dull but that's ok, this is my "light" course. i'm ok in ANT434. the professor says it's alright for me to be taking the course so i'm happy about that...the thing i'm NOT happy about is the fact that i'm STILL not in ANT334 and i'm PROBABLY NOT going to be in it. and i don't know what i'll be taking to fill that whole because i suddenly have no classes...i won't need to go to school for 4 days. i'm still praying to get into that class tho. (ok, maybe not really praying, but whatever)

omg, so ERIC is in my classes again. YOU PEOPLE KNOW WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT. he's the annoying shithead that goes to class and tells people he's posting the notes on the internet, or he fakes a heartattack to go to another class...and worst of all, he turns around to stare at you...guys and girls...beware.

everyone, i have an announcement to make... I AM STILL ALIVE!!!

of course...i have no voice...but that's alright, everyone needed a break from it anyway. and once it comes back, it'll be all sexy. hahaha, you can call me anytime! ;p

so frosh week was a great success. i really enjoyed it soooo much. i wish MY frosh week was this good! i think our coordinators did a great job, but i also think that it's our marshals and spirit squad people who really made it happen. without them, it would never have worked!

i know you all want to know what took so much of my time this week so here are some memorable moments of frosh week:

TUESDAY:
- registration of over 600 frosh: "..and this red ticket is for your frosh shirt which you give to the marshal, show your shirt to get your SAC kit and head to the field to see your group...and this lanyard is cuz you're cool!"
- the unrolling of the SMC banners at invocation for joe figs! SMC IS THE BEST! thanks very much.
- smc challenge..."let's get naked!" (that was MY activity...i'll leave that up to the imagination...heehee) gaining points with frosh leaders georges, mu, fay, howe and gordon...i will not divulge WHY. hahahaha.
- smc graffiti: omg, what a headache...some stupid mofo's (leaders) went and chalked up (defaced) the trinity chapel and we (tee, immanuel, and i...along with an innocent group who we thought were the original culprits) went and cleaned it up. man they were scared shitless...it's freaking TRINITY.
- DUKE OF YORK: getting there late and standing in line...but then immanuel went and talked to the ppl at the door and i got in...sweet...tony making sure i got back to smcsu at 3:30am...i had no blankets or pillows...so thanks to tony for the blanket and brian for the pillow....THANKS GUYS!

WEDNESDAY:
- medieval times BAYBEEE!!!! we ended up getting there 45 mins late because of bus problems...and then brandon, joe and i sat at the wrong table...whatever...and then we were cheering for the bad guy...THAT was fun!...and then we crammed 93 ppl into a magic school bus...because we almost took off, leaving some frosh behind!
- ENGINEERING PARTY AT FORT YORK: man...finally meeting the legendary anna, what a great person! ...after THREE mike's hard cranberries...simone's my new best friend, standing (but not really standing...) and talking with nao and steve...going "home" in a cab with nick...and this is the best...joe fig's priceless expression in the morning when i opened mike's door in his t-shirt...(that's best to leave also to the imagination...hahahaha...again, i'm open to phone calls!)

THURSDAY:
- going to smcsu in the clothes i was wearing the night before..."this is what happens to asian girls gone wrong!" ahahaha.
- getting addicted to tim horton's coffee...AGAIN! (arrgh...)
- BED RACES against the engineers! (the engineer's are HILARIOUS! they had two beds and "broke" their "good" one racing against themselves!)
- going over to new college in a golf cart with a whole bunch of frosh (engineer's and smc) and getting them to come over to the bed races (SMC WON THEM ALL)
- mock protest against pants...god it never fails to kill me!

at this point, my voice is long gone and every time i call my mum, she freaks out because she thinks i'm getting really really sick. so i go home for some much deserved sleep and am now nursing my poor voice back. there was also a casino night and an auction thursday night, a boat cruise friday and today there's wonderland. i don't know how that went but i'm assuming it went well.

now i have to hope that classes go well too...plus it's time to save my shopping $$$ on books....yipes.

whoa whoa....HEY!!!!!

where did the summer go?!?!?!? i swear that i just blinked and it was gone...(well maybe it's also because i didn't really have a summer...but whatever...)

everyone is moving into rez today! i spoke to mu last night and he was doing some crazy packing! i'm so excited for everyone. PLUS i was totally cracking this morning when i was reading the newspapers and they were going on and on about how parents are so afraid and sad of letting go their "babies"...and wanting to see report cards and stuff. that was sooo my parents 2 years ago...oh WAIT...they're STILL like that. the fact that i'm staying downtown for 2 nights is bugging the heck out of them. it's really a sad thing. they've been lecturing me all day about what time i'm sleeping (yeh right...like i'm gonna sleep or something) and about drinking in moderation (that one had me in stitches for a while) and yada yada yada....i mean seriously...gotta learn to fly solo...

spoke on the phone with my big bro, carl. he's great. i think we're meeting up tomorrow when we go out partying (oops...i meant...when i go to bed...haha) and it'll be sooo great to see him again after so long.

that's the other thing. i can't wait to see everyone again. that's the only sucky thing about not being in school. you can't socialize as much. you only see select and important people, not really random. i can't wait to see who are in my classes and who i'm going to workout with (hopefully, ava, as our schedules didn't match last year, i hope they work out this year).

no pants for the mock protest...gotta love them undies!

do you know that going to IKEA is much more fun when you go with friends? when i go with my parents, it's a HUGE drag, but going with eileen was tons of fun. we were looking for furniture for her and we kept cracking up over everything. i think we decided on markor (because the furniture have names) and not pax nexus. eileen's into the wooden antique type furniture so that was cool. plus, not seeing this girl since forever made it better, especially hearing the update on our lovely friend susan. do you know that susan is crazy? that's right. CRAZY. this girl went to get a deferral on her tuition and then right after, went and bought a $600 louis vuitton purse! but...that's susan for you.

let me see...what else is going on. right, tanaka's gone back to kingston today. but it's alright, karina, faye and i are planning a trip there sometime in november. bring on the parties! BUT NO TEQUILA ROSE! ;p

my philosophy professor, julie kirsch, had a little party at gabby's thursday night, this was because her first party didn't work out as it was during the blackout. it was a nice little party except for this dude, jason, (sorta like daniel but a whole lot skinnier and with hair) who was trying to hit on me all night. do i have some sorta sign on me that says something like "all undesirable guys, RIGHT HERE!"?!?!?!?! seriously, karina never stops laughing at me about that. anyway, left that in a hurry. hahahaa

went shopping at fairview yesterday, which was fun because i haven't been there for awhile, and grace was working at the ice cream place. ames went up to bug her and get free samples, so that was fun. and went by my favorite places, jacob and gap, but nothing really interesting. except that i'm waiting for those cordoroy pants that madonna's promoting to go on sale. went to look at bikini's at the bikini village, but practically ran out of there because the prices there are insane! $80 for a tiny piece of material that barely covers anything?!?!?! I DON'T THINK SO.

i've also updated my website...well...sorta. just added some wonderland pics when i went with nao, ray and mu. you can check that out here

and mars hit me. and it hurts. alot. however....i'll get through it, i'm a survivor!

i still hurt

wow i got some great zzz's last night! sleeping in a hotel bed just isn't the same as my own. so in case anyone's wondering...no i didn't kill my family, we made it! although, buy yesterday i was ready to ditch my rents on the street. going to montreal is fun, but it would definitely be more fun if i go with friends next time. the good thing, is that i DID run into eddie on rue saint catherine on monday and i had a great time then! oh, and i learned that i don't know how to walk properly with two feet....i'm just not cut out for bipedalism. hahaha.

frosh week is just around the corner and i'm sooooo excited! i've been reading the smc frosh board and some of the stuff is too good!

AHHHH!!!! school starting again! i haven't even rested this whole summer! this is fretarded. but whatever, hopefully i'll rest up for the next week. oh, and why i'm posting this early in the morning, i have no clue. somehow my internal alarm clock woke me up at 7am this morning. i was piss mad, but i couldn't go back to sleep so what can i do?

Bonjour mes amies!
i am here in Montreal in a little internet cafe. it`s great here, hearing French being spoken as i`m walking down the street. it`s an awesome culture shock. we went shopping yesterday and we walked along rue ste-catherine which is sorta like our yonge st.

Anyway, yes, we left Toronto in the middle of the blackout. we didn`t even have electricity when we left friday morning, and for about two hours, we were also kinda of tense because we were having gas problems, like a bad case of murphy`s law. but, everything was soon solved and now everything is good.

i hope everyone is ok in toronto. the blackout was sooooo weird. i had just finished my last exam and a group of us from my class, including my prof wanted to go over to gabby`s for some drinks. except there was no powere. last i heard, the camping trip was still on. i want to hear all about it. i also wonder whether tanaka wrote her MCAT`s hm....

anyway, time is up.

Lord, I have a problem."
"What's the problem, Eve?"
"I know that you created me and provided this
beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, as well as that hilarious comedic snake, but I'm just not happy."
"And why is that Eve?"
"Lord, I am lonely, and I'm sick to death of apples."
"Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you."
"Man? What is that, Lord?"
"A flawed creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie, cheat and be vain; all in all, he'll give you a hard time. But he'll be bigger, faster and will like to hunt and kill things. He will look silly when he is aroused, but since you've been complaining, I'll create him in such a way that he will satisfy your physical needs. He will be witless and will revel in childish things like fighting and kicking a ball about. He won't be too smart, so he will also need your advice to think properly."
"Sounds great," says Eve, with ironically raised eyebrows, "but what's the catch Lord?"
"Well...you can have him on one condition."
"And what's that Lord?"
"As I said, he'll be proud, arrogant and self-admiring...so you'll have to let him believe that I made him first.
And it'll have to be our little secret ....you know, woman to woman."

my hair tie broke in the middle of my exam. i had to hold my hair for about 15 secs before i could get another one...thank goodness i had another hairtie or else issues....and then my pen flipped out of my hand...argh. i hate essays. they hurt me. not that writing an essay on stravinsky or berg was difficult. but i'm pretty sure i missed a whole ton of points, and style and musical marks...yada yada yada. moving on....to my practical on monday...there will probably be another story on that.

i was checking out gab's wasaga pictures and i see horton and jen are still going out! wow! they'd been going out since our math classes in...gr 11 highschool (yes, i know, i was such a geek in highschool...math classes) so that means it's been about 5 yrs...whoa...i'm so jealous. i totally crushed on hort! hahahaha. and yes, he's got such a funny name. i used to make fun of him because i knew this guy, tim (i guess you can all see where i'm going with this) and i'd tell him that they should meet up and be friends, and then i can introduce them as "tim horton" hahhahaha.

i'm soooo tired. physically and emotionally. i can't wait until friday...by this time next week...i'll be in MONTREAL! except that i shouldn't be thinking of that just yet. i still have to finish another stinking paper and two more exams. but i'll be starting my fun on thursday, at jp and reza's birthday bash. i'll be sooo ready to party it up! yay alcohol!

T-minus 4 hrs.

"SNOOTCH TO THE NOONCH!!!" - Jay
"WORD" - Silent Bob

off of clerks this tv show about the adventures of two store clerks, randall and dante, with appearences from jay and silent bob. hilarious!

so i had dinner with faye tonight. it's disgusting, that only two of us could go out. tanaka's been writing these tests downtown, and cha was tired from...caribana? and karina was waiting for cha to call. and satchmo's AT caribana. ridiculous.

i'm supposed to be studying....but of course i'm not. ech

i was watching an A&E biography show. i really admire paul newman. he's soooo awesome. so old, yet still so good looking! ;p

i have these two HUGE bruises on each side of my hips....nasty looking things. where did i get them? i'll leave that up to your imagination! hahahah! j/j! i got them after go on that stupid ride, wildbeast at wonderland. it's a rickety rollercoaster ride and it hurts like hell! and i'm a small person on this ride! mu was scrunched up in the seat the whole time, ah man. the best part was the waterpark. i truly enjoy all the waterslides! i DO NOT enjoy the long lineups. that's a biatch. ah. part of the fun i guess.

it's all about...SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS! i think i'm in love with a new show! it's about an underwater sponge and that's about all i know because i went to see the 3-D movie about him and a burger at the park. it was kickass! much better then those gravity defying stomach moving rides...hahaha. i'm not a rollercoaster fan, yet i went on the bat, and vortex and these other crazy rides. although, i was too chicken to go on the drop zone and top gun! i'm sure those rides won't miss me!

and then it started raining...a fine misty kinda rain, the type that jo likes...but it was still sunny, so a rainbow came out afterwards. it was cool, and captured on camera.

it's nice to know that i've introduced my cousin to clone high. i TOLD you it's a great show! but i must credit kirsten and the sorbara guys because they introduced it to ME! heh heh.

i've got flipflops!

after being slapped in the face (not literally, but it felt like it) i haven't felt like blogging...i hate people being mad at me.

i don't know what the hell is wrong with me. i've been going through another quarter-life crisis, plus i had this migraine that threatened to crack open my skull...threw up 4 times last night. it was awful. as of now, i don't even know WHY i was sick. maybe it was that buffet i had last night, i don't know.

there's a marshal and leader meeting tonight at gabby's. whoo hoo! free food! unfortunately, that means missing my cousin's house bash. girls, i feel so bad about not being there to see you guys...soooo sorry! =(

Way way back in the 1980’s
Secret government employees
Dug up famous guys and ladies
And made amusing genetic copies
Now the clones are sexy teens now
They’re gonna make it if they try
Loving, learning, sharing, judging
A time for laughing, shiver and cry
Clone high…clone high

seems that only clone high and hearing from jo is keeping me happy these days.

oh dear.

can my life get any worse? (probably)

so my philosophy exam is on the second last day of exams. which also means that i'm not getting a couple of days break. no siree. it's been officially declared that i'll be working my poor ass off until the day i leave. (yup, i've given up, i'm outta here)

on another note, i think it would be a great idea if the abbey chicks went to montreal for a weekend, preferably the weekend of the 16-17th (when i'll be there!) and then we can rock the clubs there. yeh, i think it's a genius idea, thanks to faye for bringing it up, and me for telling karina. ;p

doo de doo

why do i get the shit time?

my two third year courses are full. AS IN not empty, AS IN i cannot enrol in that course because there are no spaces left. and i NEED one of those courses to continue with my major. i CAN'T NOT have it. pisses me off that everyone else gets early times and i'm stuck with 2pm. plus i'm missing my philosophy class right now.

grr. this chick is not happy.

EVERYONE! I MET YVES!!!! that's right, even karina hasn't met him, and they already hate each other. hahaha.

is he good-looking? i dunno. i never was good at describing people, so why should i begin now? we had a pretty good time, well...considering i felt like the odd one out, tanaka was at his side the whole time (well, other then the ladies room) and his mom and brother came down to the eaton centre as well. alls well considering tanaks called me up after being MIA the whole entire thursday (that's right, i know you're sorry) and PLUS her MOM came to say hi to me. whoa.

in other news. went to see "finding nemo" again, this time as a family. i knew my mom would love it. i did. and after seeing it again, i love it even more. i swear that the turtle is my favorite character...soooo cool!

unfortunately, due to my running off to see yves, and seeing movies, this weekend doesn't look that good on the studying side. i never was good at studying when my mind is off wandering. so prokofiev, bartok, ives and copland will have to wait. until when? i have no idea.

i read this book today, it was AMAZING! it's called "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown, very very interesting. that was part of the reason i didn't study, i couldn't put the book down till i had finished the whole thing. now i want to go to london, and france even MORE. maybe i SHOULD invest some time there in august...hmmm...

just randomly, i think it's horrible that i haven't seen satchmo in the longest time. at least i saw cha, karina, faye and len at cha's b-day party, but SATCHMO!!! even vanessa wants to see me...but that's pretty sketchy...that girl is a work of art herself. i don't think i have the patience to deal with her right now...with exams and essays looming, plus jo and karen MIA, i don't need another hot topic to handle.

anyway, i need to digest my dinner now.

you know that when this chick is drinking chamomile tea at 7:15am that something is seriously wrong...

no more parties for the next 3 weeks (yes, i know i've consented to 3 instead of 4 weeks ed, ugh) why was i so stupid to take all this courses and classes NOW??!?!?! guys, stop snickering, i know i know...if only i did this much work in the school year i wouldn't be having this problem. yeh, whatever. and get this everyone...5 1/2 courses next year...who the hell do i think i am?!!?!? super woman? absolutely not! it's going to be fun times....

i'm so tired, but my tummy won't let me sleep, i've got so much studying and catching up to do...not to mention practice practice practice! i've seen ed twice this week, and i'm seeing him AGAIN today...except this time i told him to get something to eat while i practice for half-an-hour first...because i OBVIOUSLY have no time to practice otherwise....ed always makes me nervous, he'll give me something to sight read and then while i'm playing he'll say stuff like "COUNT! don't bob your head! you're too slow!" and then in the end i screw up everything...yay stupid sightreading!

not to mention that i'm missing jo like there's no tomorrow. can you imagine? this is ONLY week ONE. TWENTY more weeks to go. craptacular.

wow, last night was weird.

met up with lisa, kirsten, eric and bronwyn at smcsu. and then we headed over to gabby's for the leader meeting. that was fun times, where we did these crazy handshakes that bronwyn told us to do from these descriptions on some pieces of paper. mine was the sway where i swing the person's hand from side-to-side when i'm introducing myself. how fitting, that handshake is soooo me! heehee.

george, mu, ray, reza and i couldn't stop laughing at this girl, who will remain nameless for various reasons...because her boobs were literally falling out of her shirt. well ok, i was doing most of the laughing, and the guys were mostly oogling, it was fun, okok...RAY was enjoying them the most! hahahaaaa.

we pub hopped over to the maddy at around 10pm and it's always enjoyable being in the piano room with the piano man. and i saw matthew yesterday! MATTHEW! how i love matthew! and he came with his friends nici and pete. he's in town from whitby and i hadn't seen him for over 2 months! they wanted me to go to the velvet underground with them, but no. i wanted to go home. i think i was even overly excited cuz i downed a rum and coke 5 mins before i saw them (plus i hadn't eaten since 5pm) and it was nonstop fun the rest of the evening.

soooo, i've had ray and matthew all over me last night which was weird cuz i'm very not interested (anymore). and there was this guy, that left his friend to walk with me as we were walking over to the maddy. i didn't mind his company, but i thought it was strange that he'd deliberately come over...well, whatever.

well, ames is at wonderland today. hahaha, i'm so glad i'm not going with her, i'd get so sick of lining up and puking after the ride. i'm guarenteeing that she'll have a lovely tan by this evening...hmmm....maybe i should go out for a tan too...

i need to get a bikini...heehee

i just came back from some GREAT sushi with patty. yum yum, in my tum.

soooooooo, i hear juju slept through a fire alarm, that's pretty damn funny if i don't say so myself.

tanaks wasn't home today, that's too bad, i don't know what the hell to do with those MCAT essentials....call me.

leader meeting tomorrow at gabby's and then the party moves over to the maddy later in the evening.

why am i writing in one sentence forms? cuz i'm thinking randomly and i don't feel like stringing them together to make lovely paragraphs....hmm...reminds me of that stupid essay.

i went shopping yesterday and went crazy at jacob. they were having this HUGE sale...(the sale sign was written in big bold red block letters and i just got sooooo excited!) and i bought 3 tops for $40. yahoo!

anyway, i don't know why i'm so tired. i keep going to bed soooo early, and i think it has something to do with waking up at 7am to run. hrmmm.

jo, have you finished reading harry potter yet? i miss you.

that's right georges, how COULD you forget me?! someone needs to straighten his priorities! ;p

i'm sooo confused...(as usual) but more confused THAN usual. i told my dad that i ran 7 laps around queen's park yesterday and he did all these calculations and stuff (i think that helped in my confusion) and concluded that i ran about 9km. wicked. and THEN when i asked him about our park at home, he told me that it was 2km. weird much? so basically, i have no idea how much i run. it's the same time, but different distances. WEIRD.

ms. tanaka dune, don't you EVER do to me what you did to me last night. that was HORRIFYING. i didn't know what to do. i don't think i ever what to come by your house, your mother is a crazy maniac. CRAZY! CRAZY!!!!!!! but i have your mcat essentials and i WILL drop them off this evening, and will vanish from that house forever more. hahaha. oh man, if only you called karina, then i wouldn't have had to "witness" your mom's insanity nor would i have missed clone high, AGAIN.

i have the biggest headache in the world. and the drugs alanna gave me don't seem to be working (it was one tylenol, i promise! ;p)

yeh, i just came back from dinner with my abbey girls. it was fun, but distressing. i was supposed to see jo today but we didn't cuz karina went to get her hair done and got them braided and then she was like 3 hours late, and then it just DIDN'T WORK OUT. well whatever, no point crying over spilt milk. so i haven't see cha, len, and faye in the LONGEST time. and satchmo and maija weren't there. =( but we had an ok dinner at the duke of kent on yonge and eglinton. i did NOT enjoy the seating arrangements, crowded for 7 ppl and then i was the lucky person that kept moving my chair around for the fat waitresses. hahaha...apparently i'm missing out on karaoke...hmm...i'd rather sleep.

went to see "finding nemo" with jo yesterday. what a GREAT movie! i swear, being a cartoon brings it no justice...it's one of my favorites... i ran thru all the emotions from being sad, to having a heart attack, to being really happy. good times!

had vietnamese with georges on...thursday? i don't remember....um...yeh, thursday and it was good to see him again, especially since he's been in washington to see his lovely gf, anna. he was late to workout and so i went with him, but i think that turned out pretty short cuz i was sitting a mat chatting like there was no tomorrow while he was sweating it out trying to beat anna's rowing time, which doesn't seem really possible. if you felt weird about going to that viet place that you went with anna, we should have went somewhere else, like that chinese place we always go...geez. (oh, incase there are some dense ppl, that was for georges)

and then the rest of that afternoon, i roamed downtown toronto. walked in the heat for like 2 hrs...can you say genius? ran into niche which was great, and then saw ryan burt, who apparently has been living with mike kwadrans, billy dunn, and justyna. and then went with tee for ABT, where i didn't see nao. but that's ok, steve's been in town. hahaha.

had a very very good conversation with my brother carl. he ALWAYS helps me out when i'm having mental problems (not literally) and he's really good with advice. i think he's straightened out some doubts for me. thanks bro!

i'm really really tired. so i guess i'm off to bed.

this was my canada day:
woke up at 8am and went jogging around our park (G. Ross Lord park or as joel used to call it...gross lord park). went home, showered ate...and then i went back to sleep. watched tv, looked at course selections and painted my nails. other then that, that was basically my day. well, except for when tanaks called at like 8:30pm. so i went to pick her up, and she came over to my house where we talked all about her time with yves (among other things) and then we watched some of "america's top model". i'm soooo excited! they FINALLY kicked off that silly sillly girl, robin, and now it's down to the final three...elyse, adrienne, and shannon. i'm TELLING YOU ALL NOW!!!! it's definitely gonna be elyse. heh heh

on another note: the pool party on sunday was great, even tho i didn't go swimming. i got a pretty nice shorts tan tho (ok, how nice that is, i don't know). what i REALLY want to do is go to the beach. liz, kirsten and bronwyn were supposed to go the other day, but they ended up going rock climbing. hmmm.

jogging this morning wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. we jogged 5 laps around queens park, but we also jogged a lap before we did stretching...so i'm definitely patting myself on the back. some things liz and i noticed this morning...a dead pidgeon with it's legs still stuck in the air, these two guys were keeping a decent pace with us (they were running in the opposite direction, so we passed them twice each lap...i started to look forward to that!), and there are tons of mosquitos that are just dying to suck my blood. damn them.

anyway, that's it for now. my parents are bugging me about going to parties. so what if i went to a party on friday, sat and sunday? the point is, i NEEDED to go to them. kirsten's having a she-bang at her place on friday, and the abbey girls are getting together on saturday, and there's a meeting on sunday (whoops, not to mention amelia's having her birthday party that day too...)

geeez.

so juju is off to shad valley for a month. thanks for the comment, i don't understand what you mean by "night owl" tho. ;p oh, incase everyone ELSE is wondering...you can check out jules' blog where she left us all msgs. actually, now that i think about it...that's funny that she compares ames to ferris bueller!

pool party at ana's today! yay! (well, that is, if it doesn't rain it all out) tee's supposed to pick me up later. and i think we need to discuss what we're doing for the graffiti event for frosh week. we're in charge of buying 30 buckets of chalk. whoopee.

spoke to marko earlier today. i haven't heard or seen him in a VERY LONG TIME. see? this is why summer sucks. because all my friends go back home, or we're working...but we're all so busy that it's difficult to see everyone at the same time. and that's why the friday party at the maddy totally rocked! so many ppl were there and we were in the piano room so it was great music the whole time. i was disappointed that georges wasn't going...but he had a great excuse...visiting anna in Washington! so i forgive you. heehee. joseph came with me, and i think he had a great time. i hope we didn't overwhelm you! we're so rowdy, but it's great. lis and mike "claim" that they were only giving each other little kisses all night. i beg to differ.

tee didn't make it to that party, but she and i went to mcgrath and muir's birthday party at their house last night. it was a lot more quieter, but it was still tons of fun! i haven't seen kate figs since FOREVER. and it was really really good to see her again! to me, she'll always be the smcsu vp that taught me everything i know about council now. well, her and bolla. teehee! and i guess we'll all be there for skinner and barne's wedding in the fall?

tanaks, where are you? i'm having SUCH a hard time getting a hold of that girl. i've spoken to karina, and she'll be sending out emails about what's going on next week. but if we want to see charlie's angels, then we better get a move on. although, judging by juju's blog, it doesn't really seem worth seeing cuz she said, and i quote "the movie itself was a waste of $4.25 which is pretty sad considering that's practically half price" so that prolly means she went to rainbow cinemas to see this one.

well i guess that's all for now. for the record. the essay is in cahoots right now. i'm soooo screwed on it.

so what did i do last night after i blogged? (ah, that's right, it says that i blogged at 8:34am, but really, i started it in the morning but then i put it away until later in the evening) i was debating if i should do the mins, start my essay or read and make notes until 10:30pm (which is when clone high is). so i started on the mins. but then, as i was typing, i thought "hm...i'm tired, maybe i should take a nap". so i look at the clock and it said 9pm. soooooo....i decided to nap for an hour, then get up and do whatever....YEH RIGHT.

*mozart music*
[me] hello?
[liz] HEY! ready to go?
[me] *looks at time: 6:20am* shit. i'll be there as soon as possible
[liz] *laughing at me* ok

yup. i slept the entire night away. i was supposed to be up and ready to go at 6am. that obviously didn't happen. lucky for me, tho, dad was driving to yorkdale (bridge game at hart house tonight) and that's where i was meeting liz, so i actually got there in time for 6:45am (otherwise i would have been SOOO late) and then everything went well...well....as well as can be, considering i suck at running...like REALLY SUCK.

if i want to do that run in july, i need to be able to run for more then 3 times around queen's park. i'm sooo gonna be dead! hahaha.

ok lily. the minutes are done, but because i'm retarded i won't be able to get the mins out until i get home tonihgt. the dumbass that i am, as i was rushing around this morning to get everything, i thought i was genius for saving the mins and everything on a disk...genius, RIGHT....i left the disk in my computer...*sigh*

i really really don't want to start that essay. soooo....i'm not. haha.

my mom is so cute. she sat down next to me this morning as i was busily typing up my lab report and asked me to spell "leave" and "broken" for her. of course, i spelled "brocken" because i can't spell in my head. and then as i was grabbing something hot to drink, i noticed the door to our dishes was open, and then i see this message "please leave a brocken door open"...isn't that the cutest?

ask any council member how the meeting went last night and you'll get this reply...."LONG" it went forever...i didn't realize that this was the budget meeting and here i was thinking i'd be able to get home and finish this report before today....obviously not. mr. andrew volpe was our speaker (as zack's in russia) which was really cool, yet intimidating at the same time...when he called me over to ask me questions (because i know everything! j/j!) i was like wow...he knows my name....cool...now i need to type up those minutes...but i dunno...should i? or not? i still have a LONG OVERDUE essay to do....meh...

composite photo's are in, and i'm proud to say that i don't look constipated this time (last year's was AWFUL) i actually look pretty nice...now the question is...when am i going to pick it up? i was going to get it today after aerobics with attitude, but then i saw kirsten outside on a bench infront of brennan and that was the end of that.

wow that aerobics class was AWESOME today! david was teaching us latin moves, like the mambo, and the salsa...it was fun times! and there were a lot of people there today, it was sooo hot! and CLAUDIA PAPPALIO was there! abbey chickies! it was so exciting!

oh, i promised joseph that i would blog about this, and here it is: hahaha...i'm just laughing to myself writing this...
so we went to hand in our lab reports this afternoon, and mariam (our ta) was making this comment to jo about how all the girls in london will be flocking to him, and then right after adding on that all the guys in archeology are ugly....and jo totally missed the first part and thought she was calling him UGLY! and he didn't know what to say! so he didn't say anything for awhile! hahahaaa! (i'm totally on the floor laughing now...) the best part, was that we discovered this an hour LATER...and i was totally laughing into my food....yeh, so it doesn't really look that funny on paper, it was one of those "you gotta be there" type of things...

why am i breaking out? hmmm....maybe it was those hashbrowns i had all weekend....

SWEET! i FINALLY got my archives back up...it was a ton of manuel work, but it's back.

karen, you might be interested in the fact that i ran into tara choy today. well actually, tara AND the rest of her family. tanya just graduated from u of t this year, last week. they're both so slim and beautiful. tara's hair is so long now. i wonder if she's still with that guy she'd been seeing for the longest time. meh.

smcsu mtg tomorrow...i don't have one of those tape recorders....ech. it doesn't matter. those minutes won't be typed up until AFTER my lab report is due. i'm going to type THAT up tomorrow! *fingers crossed*

but now i'm going to hit the sack.

"To the world you maybe one person,
but to one person you may be the world"

Never say I love you
if you really don't care
Never talk about feelings
if they aren't really there
Never hold my hand
if you are going to break my heart
Never say you are going to
if you don't plan to start
Never look into my eyes
if all you do is lie
Never say hello
if you really mean goodbye
If you really mean forever
then say you will try
Never say forever
cause forever makes me cry

i cleaned my room...it was messy.

now i will finish my research on my lab report...

no, nothing is wrong...i'm just anxious to finish all these loose ends...

lick the book, lick the book, lick the book, lick the book, lick the book, lick the book, lick the book, lick the buk, buk, buk, buk, buk, buk, buk, buk, buk, buk....

i've just realized that no one calls me at home anymore...and that amelia is ALWAYS talking on the phone...how sad is that? VERY sad... =(

is anyone up for a 10km run at center island july 27th? i'm really excited about that. alot of ppl are interested, andrea and ava sent out emails about that a while back but i was like "meh, i'll check it out later" and then i did, and now i think that it will be my personal goal to run 10km. especially since liz and i have started running around queen's park in the mornings...and i really really suck...i can just BARELY run 5 laps...i don't even know how many km's queen's park is.

why do i feel like i don't have time to slow down? i'm missing the SARS concert this weekend...i thought THREE WEEKS ago that i'd be having a hell week...but it hasn't stopped...it's kept on going...and i THINK that the end is finally near. i have a test tomorrow...(that's why i'm blogging right now...hahahaaa) and then my ant332 class will be over, and then i wonder if i will have done well in it? BUT there's a smcsu mtg this sunday, and i don't know when the marshal mtg is going to be AND i still have a lab report that's extended to monday, as well as that essay that was due...this monday...i know...i'm RETARDED...but it comes with the territory!

oh shit...before i forget even more...HAPPY BELATED B-DAY AVA (06/15) AND CHA!(06/18) i swear, if i hadn't run into christine or talked to karina, i wouldn't have known...i hope i get to see ava at the 10km thing, and i will try my hardest to book july 5th off (since it seems that everyone is finally getting their shit together for this gathering...)

i've discovered a new show..."clone high"...i recommend that everyone should watch at least one show, and see if you don't fall in love with it. what's it about? some mad scientist has cloned abe lincoln, cleopatra, ghandi, joan of arc, JFK, etc...and they're all in their teenage years going to highschool...it's on every night, 10:30pm on the toon channel...yeh i know, the guys have been watching this show since forever...well...i've just discovered it!

kirsten's having some sort of "chill out" party next friday. i hope everyone can make it to the maddy! it will feel soooo good to just RELAX...i swear, it was sooo good to see jerome and the girls yesterday in the office. i went to get liz after class, and then we went to mickey d's with kirsten, lisa and lauren for ice cream. i saw howe out there, it's always good to see ppl! everyone is sooo busy...why is that? we were all free, wandering spirits last year, and suddenly we've all just become adults...weird.

yeh, ames is reading comic strips on the internet, and i'm blogging...we're are being SO productive with our "studying"...hahahahaaaa

from Garfield: "i'm not FAT, i'm just UNDERTALL!"

i was just checking up on everyone's blogs...and flo...i was totally cracking up when i got to yours! it wasn't what you wrote...but the PICTURE in the background...COFFEE BEANS!!! that is soooo you! hahahahaaaa!

i don't know what to do. this has been such a rough weekend. work, work, and more work. ppl from my classes keep asking me questions (like i'm smart or something...) and i'm always like..."yeh, so i haven't started yet..." and then it makes me feel bad, but i'm just soooo tired...

spoke to eileen online yesterday! she's in chicago chilling at home, but we started talking about pol200 and how she got screwed on the final, blah blah blah...

i still haven't started my essay...but if you asked me what i did this weekend, i'd look at you blankly in the face and say "i dunno...i'm sooo confused"...don't i sound wacko?

queenie's coming to pick me up for brunch in half an hour, and what am i doing? i'm sitting at the computer chatting with my australian cousin, lachlan, about god knows what...I'M NOT PICKY!...but i must admit...perhaps i AM a slacker...heh heh
i haven't dressed yet...

wouldn't it be fun if i could fun around with time? then i'd make sure to fast forward all the boring stuff like school and work, and make my vacation time longer...nono...EVEN BETTER....if i could do WHATEVER i wanted...no worries about getting a job for money, just do as i please...such as have parties, travel the world, meet tons and tons of new people....would i get bored of that? i wouldn't know...but right now...i'd do anything to get outta here! i'm glad i'm not fune....(only philosophy ppl in my phl210 class would get that...)

i hate my hair...alot...

georges has stabbed himself...silly boy! who told you to cut your bread by sticking the knife towards your gut?!?!?! anyway, i wonder if this tops the time you stuck your hand over a very hot bottle rim? and really, go out and buy yourself a lottery ticket, you've got this AND plus it's friday the 13th on your side, so you're bound to get something out of this! (and then, if you win a million dollars, you can share some with me! ;p)

HEY! i might be vacationing in cancun! now wouldn't that be fun?!!? but DAYMN, i'm gonna have to work on looking good in a bathing suit! (it doesn't help when the tv's broken tho)

i don't think i like using the body bars...they make my shoulders hurt =(

Quote of the day:

a good friend will bail you out of jail…a true friend will be sitting next to you saying “damn, we fucked that up”

so do you want to hear the funniest thing? i got my lab report back today…this is the report that was due tuesday at 5 pm. i started it tuesday morning at 6 am, worked on it for 2 ½ hours, went to class, spent another 1 ½ hrs on it, went and worked out…and then finished it at 4:30pm and handed it in. now, considering I spent only 6 hrs on this thing, i thought i did TERRIBLE….like “peeyeu it stinks!” I even spelt the TA’s name wrong…can you imagine? So what did i get you ask? a B+….whoa….crazy….but not complaining…haha!

did a circuit training class with flo this morning…it was really good, done by the same instructor that does ABT. she sweated like there was no tomorrow…apparently it’s good to sweat a lot. flo informed me that a person that sweats a lot means that they are very healthy….interesting…now i understand why those asian girls don’t sweat…

went to fran’s for lunch with kirsten, lauren, and teresa. this girl i know, megan, waitresses there, and she was serving us, so it was fun times! but it was raining, and i’m sick and tired of this rain. i don’t know how much longer my dysfunctional umbrella will hold up!

had a 2 hr conversation with my philosophy professor…can you imagine? me having a conversation with my professor like i was having tea or something? i don’t know…she’s so young and so interesting, it’s hard to be intimidated by her! And she was great with all this advice and everything.

so nao and i believe that we will be dead tomorrow. We did the ABT class this afternoon, and considering i haven’t done that in like 5 weeks, i’m gonna be feeling it tomorrow. and then after class, we were just chatting on the steps of hart house, when georges called. so we stayed and waited for him to meet us there (going to workout). and then we talked for like half an hour before we had to go our merry way. and the whole time we were talking, ppl kept stepping into this huge puddle of water at the bottom of the stairs…like they couldn’t see it or something…so we started telling ppl that there was a puddle at the bottom of the stairs!

came home and talked to karen, gosh i haven’t heard from her in a long time. everyone wants me to go out with them this weekend, it’s insane. liz, holly, and christina are having a graduation party at the Bedford academy tomorrow night…plus there’s a marshal meeting that’s going on early tomorrow afternoon as well. I won’t be making to either of those…and then taline and the abbey girls are organizing a “girls nite out” saturday night at vinnie’s…. …probably won’t be going to that either. AND apparently mu, marko and georges thought i would be doing something with them this weekend, until ray told them i wasn’t. not that i don’t want to go, i really do want to see everyone, it’s just i have this crazy essay due monday, and another lab report (that i CAN’T do last minute AGAIN) and a test next friday. and sunday is father’s day, and my boss is organizing a music recital that day. when will I be able to do work? well, i should be doing it now, but it’s quite obvious that i’m not.

yesterday was matthew’s birthday, happy be-lated! i also went to see coldplay last night! wow were they good! they played a lot of songs from their new album, including politik, clocks, in my place, god put a smile upon your face, daylight, a rush of blood to the head, amsterdam, as well as trouble and yellow (old favorites!)…they also played my favorite favorite song, the scientist…it was soooo cool! i really enjoyed that.

anyway, i should start on my essay now…don’t want to do stuff last minute! hahahaaa!

why am i psychotic?!?!?!?
hmmm...well...if i wasn't...then i wouldn't be ME!!!! ;p

i've added new pictures...robin's bowling party...hahaha!
see here

they better not eliminate elyse next week....or else there will be hell to pay...

lets bet shall we? i bet that either elyse, kesse, or adrienne will be america's new top model, why? because i'm psychic. ;p now enough about that.

so i saw THE perfect couple on my subway ride home today. they were both tall, beautiful and immaculately dressed. The guy was in a beautiful smokey grey suit, with a grey silk tie, and the girl had perfect hair and makeup in a cream colored skirt and jacket. i couldn't help but keep staring at them. i'm sure they think i'm crazy, but hey, it's not everyday you see the perfect couple. heehee.

GUESS WHO I SAW?!?!?!?! chris martin from coldplay! not....nah, i only saw chris tidey, the new prez of VUSAC. he looks different now, i'm not sure what it is, but more...reserved? anyway, he's invited to me to come chill at the VUSAC office sometime. maybe i'll do that when i'm less busy, but i guess he's LONELY. poor mr. prez.

i also saw georges at hart house. it was weird. i was just finishing my run and flo was just finishing her bike, and then i turned around and it was georges! he told me the funniest story about the 15 yr old girl at the ROM who he met that night when he went to see those short movies with mu, marko and whoever else...so you say anna reads my blog? well then, HI ANNA! i hope you're having fun in Washington DC! i enjoy your live journal too! ;p

where has grace been? hiding? perhaps she's working at laura secord with jules, but why she hasn't bothered to mention that to me is beyond me. HEY! i want free ice cream! mwahahahaaa!

you know what else is really cool? getting $60 for wining & dining at that smc dinner. wow! i'm definitely going to volunteer to do this more often! the annual golf millenium classic is coming up. i'm letting everyone know now...ESPECIALLY smcsu ppl! we want you there to represent us! plus, you get to play golf with brian o'malley, president mcgowen and the such. i think a couple of priests are going too. no one went from smcsu last year, i forget why, but lots went the year before (the alessandro desimone year, haha). we've got to live up to our GOOD name (snicker, oh man)

before i forget again...COLDPLAY IS GOING TO BE IN TOWN TOMORROW! AND GUESS WHO WILL BE THERE?!?!? ME!!! that's right, BE jealous....very very jealous. AND it's a special someone's b-day tomorrow....i'll let you all guess! ;p

yay, coldplay!

it's all about sticking your foot in....and then swooshing it around...
i'm proud to say i thought that one up myself! ;p

it's about that lab report. i'm soooo lazy. i don't want to do it. i want it to do it without me. BUUTTT....that's not gonna be happening anytime soon. i think i'm starting to burn out...hmmm what give me THAT idea?!?!?! i'm not about to list it all again, so just read the last couple of blogs.

i'm so jealous of my friend, he's been all over the world...and the more i hear about his past and future travels, the more envious i get. i'm just a T.O. kinda girl. i really really want to go to australia this summer to visit my cousins, who keep bugging me about going...yes lachlan, this is directed to you...and lanthia, belinda and the rest of the crew that i've never met before. ooooh! the other place i also really want to visit is PARIS! but until i win the lottery, i think i'll stay away from there!

the library is good for absolutely nothing. i went to get some journal articles today, and i actually FOUND some articles (rough times, guys) and then i FOUND the BOOK on the shelf...but then when i opened it to find the actual article....IT WASN'T THERE...that's right, the exact pages of the book that i needed, were the one and the same that were not there. i swear, all the signs are saying i really don't need to do this assignment. =(

oh, and yup yup, in case you're wondering, i AM procrastinating! i can already see it...tomorrow night at exactly 8 pm, i will begin this mad rush to finish my report. of course, i'll probably end up with something really really crappy or it might even be late...either way, neither of these options seems very promising.

you know what? i think i'm just gonna up and blame it on the weather. damn rainy weather. it's JUNE...june, june, june....when was the last time it rained so much in june? plus i have very unreliable umbrellas...maybe that's why i have such a bad view of rain. i always find myself caught in rain with either no umbrella or broken ones. but then again, maybe i can attribute it to the fact that i'm cheapass, and buy cheap ones at chinatown. haha!

AHHHHHH! i just looked at my calendar, and realized that i have an essay due next week! ok, maybe i knew that...maybe i'm just hoping that it will ALL go away...maybe it's NOT going to go away...MAYBE i wouldn't be making such a big deal out of it if my boss didn't put her MUSIC RECITAL on the sunday (which also happens to be father's day)...

i really need to marry rich.

it's unbelievable...simply UNBELIEVABLE....i went to the library straight after i finished work at 4pm today...i got to robarts 5-to-5...and what is this? masses of students are streaming out of the building...as i walk to the building with a sinking feeling....i see the library hours are from 10-5pm on saturdays...i couldn't believe it...i spent $2.25 to come downtown for nothing.

i'm also majorly screwed for that lab report due on tuesday. the purpose of that library trip was to get some information for this lab...it obviously didn't go well. i don't wanna do it! *sigh* no use bitching about it on the internet.

on the brighter side, went to see "bruce almighty" with tanaka yesterday after work. that was a great movie. there was this one part where the whole theatre was just howling with laughter for a full 5 mins....i had tears coming out of my eyes it was so funny. and then afterward, evil tanaka led me to dynamite, and we bought some stuff there. i had to hide that bag from my mom when i went home...how sad is that? ;p

anyway, i guess i'll either sleep or start my lab now....

...sleep it is.

HEY! georges has a livejournal at here

i just thought it would be appropriate to waste time blogging instead of studying....i'm so smart! ;p

i'm just exhausted...beyond help. i've had 3 classes today, one which consisted of a test, one that needed notes to be made (because i'm a keener....no, i think it's cuz i need to set a good example....*pat pat on the back*), and one where i have a test...oh look! TOMORROW

plus i had to substitute for my lovely, yet annoying boss, monica. i hate subbing for her. when i see how well her kids are doing in piano because of her technique, and then i see mine floundering around cuz i'm all over the place, i just want to take over and pretend they're mine...hahaha....NOT!

shit, those notes i made need to be finished and sent out to everyone. *sigh* well, maybe they'll have it tomorrow night, maybe not...we shall see.

is everyone in crisis, busy mode like me?

tanaks, i'm not mad at you....it's just really difficult to reach you when you have no cell phone, no recording machine, and your line is always busy when you're on the internet. and by the by, i want to see a movie, but maybe not "bruce almighty", how bout "finding nemo"? i know i know, so dumb and gay, whatever...better then what georges suggested....SATURDAY MIDNIGHT MOVIE MANIA...something about horror movies, NO WAY. thanks very much tho.

i hate to say this, but alex really needs to get rid of that beard he's got. it's really not flattering on him....but no matter how much i tell him, he won't listen to me. did i mention that my class was freezing cold today? i almost couldn't stand it...it was soooo cold....like "hi, i'm going to die from hypothermia" kinda cold....plus it had to rain...the infamous rain...and my umbrella broke, how convienient, dumb umbrella.

hey, how's everyone doing? georges was so sweet today, told me some internet guy thought that i was a pretty asian girl...lemme guess, he was probably asian...ugh...i'll pass.

one more test to go, then i get to rest and start my lab report and essay...whooo hooo....*note sarcasm*

one last thing...i'd like to take the time to say hi to my cousins. HI. ok, done now.

so i've rebounded from my failing health. it wasn't very long, i was mostly ok by tuesday. however, i still feel like i have a wad of stuff still stuck in my throat, and it's not going away....

next week is my week of hell. i've got a philosophy test on wednesday and then an anthro test the day after. but what really sucks is that this is the same week that my boss is away examing, and i'm the substitute teacher ...meaning that i'll be working wednesday, thursday, friday night, AND all day saturday. plus i'm helping smc with some dinner tomorrow night so that means writing off a study day. shites.

don't get me wrong. i LOVE my classes, but there is sooo much information and too little time. i haven't really seen or spoken to anyone in awhile. everyone is in their own little bubble, just floating ladeeda. well, except for georges...hahahaha. (i always have to poke fun at you!)

"finding nemo" is out. i really want to see that movie. but i guess i'll have to wait until after hell week. but....COLDPLAY JUNE 11!!!!!! whoo hoo!!!! i'm sooo excited! mwahahahaa!

well, i guess i should be studying, since ames has graciously decided she wasn't going to the docks, hence me at home blogging. haha.

i really hate being sick. nono...i don't have SARS...at least i don't think i do. all i have is a majorly screwed up throat. i can feel the glands just expanded....and it hurts like heck to swallow. but i should have known i'd get sick. with all this rain, and cool weather...PLUS getting up at 6am in the morning to work out with dizzylizzy... the ONLY good thing out of this, is that my parents are happy i'm at home and possibly getting some studying time in, although i've been sleeping far more then studying.

i missed nici's art show yesterday cuz of this darn cold. and i don't think i want to go out this week at all. all i want to do is stay at home and sleep. but damn classes are going to force me up. i don't think the girls will be happy about me not going to dinner. ahhh.

so lisa, i tried to check my marks on rosi on friday, but i forgot my password, and now i have to go to the registrar's office to fix that up. my dad wasn't very amused (he's been bugging me about my marks) and he said my excuses were getting better and better...hahaha! how i wish i came up with that story all by myself! heehee!

my neck is driving me CRAZY! soup time!

you know what they say..."third times a charm"

we FINALLY made it to orfus road! we as in tanaka, karina, faye and me. wheeee! (i put that in cuz it rhymes! oh i'm sooo poetic! hahahah!) i must say, tanaka and i will be cutting up our cards...we can't go on spending all the money that we DON'T have! it's crazy. i think i spent like $60 yesterday on clothes, movie tix for matrix reloaded (which fully disappointed me....no georges, don't EVEN argue with me...), and food. never again...but then, we always say that, don't we? ;p

we need to all chip in to buy a car. you know we're ghetto when we ALL still take the subway, and when KARINA'S the one driving the car...(hell, i remember when we used to make fun of you cuz you were the ONLY one who still hadn't gotten your driver's license...look who has the last laugh!)

went to the danforth for greek food today. what ames says is right. we (as in our family) are dumb. who the heck drives 40 mins to the danforth to eat "mr. greek" when there's one 10 mins away from home? and then we went to main street unionville for....starbucks coffee....hahahaaaa! WHAT-EVER! we had fun. honestly, i don't remember the last time we went out as a family and made it back home all in one piece.

ahhhhh ...the birthdays = spending more $$$. for robin's b-day we went bowling. now that was a hell of a lota fun! met robin's lova (aka merrill..heehee) and her best friend, sonia and adam. can i mention here that i was the odd one out? not really, they were great fun. but i will like to say that matthew should have come, and then we'd be even. *shaking fist at matthew* he missed out on some great bowling. we don't bowl properly, when robin get's the pics developed, you'll ALL see!

as for kirsten and lauren's joint b-day party at bohemian thursday nite...that was great times guys! i was sooo afraid that i would have to leave before kirsten got there. but she made it! and then those two girlies got nicely wasted. i would have stayed longer except for early morning school the next day, and plus tanaks and i had spent the whole afternoon wandering around chinatown. hahaha! we're sooo ghetto! jp almost got me to stay by not letting me go. i love it when ppl love me! ;p plus, this gathering was good, cuz i got to see a whole bunch of ppl i haven't seen since the end of school. i thought tanaks wasn't enjoying herself, but apparently she was taking in the bunch of "characters" that i'd acquired through university. isn't it funny? you don't think your friends from highschool would have "other" friends, but we do. it's crazy.

anyway, this is shaping into an interesting summer. everyone is working in town and/or taking summer classes, so we're all around. too many parties and outtings, my parents are complaining they never see me. hmmm...maybe THAT'S why i'm getting along well with them...hahaha! but there is work to do, that i haven't been doing, so i should go do that now....

i have survived the retreat!

after two nights of no sleep, no showers, and tons of craziness...it all came to an end. i'm please to announce that no corpses had to be thrown into the caverns...hahaha.

a great lesson in council togetherness...although it would have been a hell of a lot more fun if more people came out. whatever. i'm home, showered...relatively rested! we'll just have to wait for those infamous pics to be developed!

new classes tomorrow. i wonder if i'm excited?

ah...i'm still tired. bugger.

whoa! i'm done and DONE!

yippee!

with 3 exams in 2 days...i've crammed and studied till my head was saturated with hobbes, locke, plato, aristotle, primates, hominoids, first language acquisition, and brain and language...i've been more then ready to dump the contents of my brain out...in favor for....NOTHING! mwahaha!

after my last exam on thursday, met up with tanaks and karina (who were all done their exams LONG AGO) for drinks at the maddy. but we were soooo tired (which is crazy) and so we ended up at the second cup for lattes...and then after THAT...i didn't sleep till 4am because i'm dumb and didn't think that the stupid coffee would keep me up all night.

met up with an elementary school friend at fairview on friday, charlene fong...wow it's been a long time! she's still as pretty as ever, if not more (once she was past the goth stage). she's totally into shoes...reminds me of someone i know....RITA!

watched X-MEN yesterday! that's a GREAT movie! didn't go shopping at orfus road because karina's a dumbass, and tanaka's worse...so we'll go on monday.

on a side note: my neck is feeling MUCH better, thanks for asking. mr. gabereau thought it would be fun if he lifted me and threw me on his bed cuz he thought his bed was SOOO soft, and that i'm so light that i'd go bouncing on it. yeh right. about as light as a boulder. but *tear tear* everyone's going home soon. that's gotta suck.

everyone pray that i get that job at jacob....i'll be getting great discounts on both the jacob, AND the jacob annexe that they are opening downstairs of the manulife center! whoo hoo! it's all about reeling off the names of managers, and chatting with the other store employees...hahahaaa...i don't care if GAP wants me to go back, i'm having none of that...

either way, this will be a wicked summer! it may begin......NOW!

what a bad teaching week!
i had FOUR no shows....FOUR...it's bad enough that i thought i had to work on good friday...but it's worse when you DO go to work, and then they don't show, and you call them up...and they yell at you cuz you're dumb...and didn't you know it was good friday and nothing is open on good friday? apparently the music studio was open on good friday...anyway, my boss called them back and they yelled at her too...except my boss yelled back at them...hahahaaa...there goes some clientele...oops!

so apparently faywood called like 3 days ago, but i didn't get the msg till yesterday...i hate my phone...why don't i have an answering machine?!?!?!? everyone's done exams, and i haven't even STARTED....damn it...i can't wait till i'm DONE!!!!! until then...

i emerged from my cocoon with lisa this early morning for a 9am breakfast with the smcsu breakfast club. while scooting over to robarts with lisa so she could return her books, we sidetracked over to trinity to look at their beautiful gothic buildings, and their anglican church. met up with the pol200 gang at 11am at diablos, and then we went to eat vegetarian vietnamese food on dundas and spadina!

let me tell you how much fun it is to be eating at these ghetto restaurants when i'm the only asian person in our group! the five of us, ben, robin, eileen, leah and i, split 5 dishes and enjoyed our meal immensely. ben mosied off to work after lunch and me and the girls went browsing at "in shoes" and then went through kensington market! matthew called and then we met up with him and nici for 2 hours at second cup, and then robin went home and eileen went to study...(study?!?!?!)

geordie, nici, matthew and i went to see "anger management"...what a funny movie...dumb, but funny...and then after, we went over to geordie and nici's apartment to eat and watch the leafs game! i think my day was more then fun!

it makes up for my last two boring days at home studying and getting myself reaquainted with "dharma & greg" and "will & grace", along with the regular "gilmore girls"! i'm surprised my bum hasn't made a huge impression of itself on the sofa yet...plus, the starbucks at bathurst and steeles sucks...i love downtown!

oh, before i forget...robin brought pictures, and she sent them to me...here are a "selection" of them that i've posted on my website... the others were just way too shameful to have floating around...

ooooh lala! the hottest boy in the world came to my house today! unfortunately, i don't know who he is...all i know is that he works for the college pro painters...and when he told me that i laughed...nono, not because i'm mean like that...but because i had just had a conversation with my good friend andrew price, and he told me that he got a job with the college pro painters this summer! either way, i had fun flirting with him...but that's it...i wish some of MY guy friends would just randomly come visit me...(hint hint) hahaha!

yeh, i really have nothing important to say, just that i'm done that essay (thank god!) and now i have to get myself into study mode...for exams....blah.

what a good day!
a good breakfast with the smcsu breakfast club, a nap at teresa's, a nap at diablo's before class (for the record, i was STILL tired in lec), went to see a house with joe vee, mike and brenden...and then went to kensington market for the first time and bought banana chips that were soo good! went to gabby's for half-priced chicken wings with kirsten and bronwyn where we watched some of the leafs game...THEY WON 5-3!!!! the best part was running into immanuel! i had mentioned to him last week how much i liked the group t.a.t.u. and then thought nothing of it...and today when i saw him, he had a present for me! he had burned a copy of the cd for me! how sweet! and that really made my day!

it's 11pm and as soon as i finish blogging, i'll be finishing this gosh-darn essay that should have been done last week! len emailed me MONDAY to tell me that my definition of freedom for hobbes was WRONG...luckily for me (though he didn't know this) i hadn't even STARTED my paper yet so really, no harm done...BUT he didn't need to know that...and i milked it for all it's worth! i got half my paper done yesterday, and i really don't want to spend anymore time on it, so i'm giving MYSELF up to tomorrow (i want to PARTY!) but really, it doesn't have to be in until friday (but let's pretend it's due tomorrow...psyche myself out!)

i'm soooo screwed on this essay...nono...not the fact that it's late (actually...everyone...I GOT AN EXTENSION! mwahahahaaa! but in the end...it means NOTHING!)

i emailed len my paper woes...and hopefully he'll email me back quickly so that he can put me on the right track and i can go my happy way...(no worries robin...i think i'm OK!)

in other news, i had to wash off the cutest smiley face with big ears, small feet and a large tuff of hair that nici drew yesterday, for my interview. it went alright...but i'll talk more about it if and when i get it. if you don't hear anything from me, then DON'T ASK!

i got the longest email from tanaka today. i think i had a heart attack when i realized i had to SCROLL DOWN! seriously! tanaka, i'm gonna jot down this date in my diary and write "today, tanaka wrote the longest email to me" hahahaaaa! oh man...inside joke!

and so i realized why i don't eat lasanga very often...too much cheese.

The Four Friends
Ernest was an elephant, a great big fellow,
Leonard was a lion with a six-foot tail,
George was a goat, and his beard was yellow,
And James was a very small snail.

Leonard had a stall, and a great big strong one,
Ernest had a manger, and its walls were thick,
George found a pen, but I think it was the wrong one,
And James sat down on a brick.

Ernest started trumpeting, and cracked his manger,
Leonard started roaring, and shivered his stall,
James gave the huffle of a snail in danger
And nobody heard him at all.

Ernest started trumpeting and raised such a rumpus,
Leonard started roaring and trying to kick,
James went a journey with the goat's new compass
And he reached the end of his brick.

Ernest was an elephant and very well-intentioned,
Leonard was a lion with a brave new tail,
Goerge was a goat, as I think I have mentioned,
But James was only a snail.

A.A. Milne - When We Were Very Young

that is the cutest book in the world! thanks to nici for lending it to me! i read it home on the subway and it made me feel so much younger, relaxed, and it sort of brought me back to reality. afterall, since i've gone to university, i've been reading insane amounts of textbooks and philosophy books, and when i do go to chapters, i read magazines or archies...and this little poetry book made me think of being so little again and pretending and everything! this is why it's so great to be little again! i hadn't realized how much i'd grown up...sure i'm still CRAZY...but i'm older crazy!

anyway...just another indication that i'm still little...i hole-punched my finger...yup that's right...i HOLE-PUNCHED IT! i was hole-punching some notes, but i wasn't really paying attention to what i was doing...i was listening to my sister and dad's conversation...when it happened...yeh...silly me...i'm such a klutz! georges paid $45 for a nipple piercing monday, and i get a free finger stabbing at home...hahaha

so it's snowing...again...what happened to spring?!?!? but it's a COOL snow...it's very feathery...like you can slid in the snow...and the snow will go FLYING in little pebbles...it's fun...but still...i'm tired of the snow! it ruined a beautiful nite of classical music! i went for about an hour of philharmonic concert being held at hart house...immanuel invited me to go...and i haven't listened to any REAL classical music for a very long time and went to see them...i was there to hear them play beethoven's symphony no. 5 in C minor, Op.67....it was sooooo good! i'm glad i went...but i felt bad cuz i was missing vivaldi and igor stravinsky's firebird suite! ahh!

i spent two hours at second cup! what a GREAT two hours! i was there with robin, matthew, geordie and nici...and it was sooo much fun! i don't think i've laughed so much in such a long time! it's such a different atmosphere with these ppl! it's so much more fun, and crazy! everything is sooo laid back and not so serious...and you don't have to watch what you're doing or saying...no back stabbing or anything retarded...so...free...

all in all, a fun day...week....whatever...BUT now i must get started on my essay that was due....today!
