yikes! yikes!

i'm sick.

monday's are brutal. simone and i were like dying on the subway ride home. i was so tired that i went to sleep after i printed off the essay assignment that my prof posted on the web.

except...

my nose was all stuffed up and my throat is KILLING me. and i think henry called last night (i couldn't remember). i don't wanna do work!!!!

i guess i'll just have to watch gilmore girls! ;p (oh right, i have the season one dvd box set now...mwahahahahaha!)

i wanted to blog several times over the course of the week, but alas, my internet was down for a couple of days, and suffice to say, that was quite annoying. so now is the perfect time because (of course) i'm in the middle of PILES of catching up to do. i think it was partly because of the subway fiasco on thursday (some broken switch at eglinton causing me an extra 2 hr headache) and the toga party friday (yeah baby yeah!) AND add procrastination and laziness to the mix.

to all the people that know i'm not a huge "big dog" fan...i can now add to my resume that i've "dog-sat". hahahaha. shelley has taken in carmi's dog, karma...and because karma hasn't fully gotten used to his 'surroundings' (ie, her place) she's afraid of leaving him completely unattended most of the day. this is where i come in...hahahaha...i watched karma for 3 hrs on thursday, and although i was kind of worried about being in the same room with him all by myself, it was a huge success! mainly because i just sat and studied, and he contentedly ate a bone and got a pamper job from me. hahahaha. this kat made friends with a big dog. whoo!

i still haven't gotten that history book from that bookstore. this is causing me undue amounts of stress and headaches. see, i would REALLY love to know what's going on in my chinese philosophy class, but unfortunately i think i'll have to stick with writing down almost every other word the prof says and then try to decipher his notes after class (which for the record i haven't gotten to yet). hahaha. i was supposed to finish most of my homework today, but that doesn't look like it's happening anytime soon.

note to self: no more parties until the smc halloween party...i don't think i can handle anymore activities on my plate....i've got my full course load, piano, the volunteer placement, most likely adrian, AND best buddies going on...oh yeh...my friends. hahahahaha. what friends?!?!?! ;p

why is it that every time i run into my teenybopper frosh kid (whoi have the biggest crush on), i lose all my abilities of speech and acting like i'm 4-5 years older then him? i get all retarded, that's what i do. hahahaha. i told shelley today that i have stop treating him like a materialistic object and start seeing him like the human being that he is. hahahaha...i've got a ways to go with him. :)

another stupid thing i did today: i went to buy my books for chinese philosophy at the east west bookstore at 128 harbord...this bookstore is fairly small and i clearly walked in on some sort of lesson the guy was teaching...and after finalizing that i had the right books, i realized that i didn't bring out either my debit or credit card, and that i didn't have $6 to my name. needless to say, i had to tell him that i'd be back monday...boy that guy won't forget me in a hurry! hahahaha.

okok...i need to get in some study time before i go out tonight...to INSIDE...INteresting...hahahaha, i kill myself sometimes...

congrats to kalan porter, our next canadian idol! hahaha, for the record, i heard him sing for the first time tonight, talk about waiting until the end! ;p

so this has been a jam-packed fun fun week. i totally wasn't expecting to go out tuesday night, but somehow i got conned into going to o'grady's to watch the final hockey game: canucks vs. finns...and of course we rock, so after jacob spends $200 on food and beer for everyone, we hit the streets to yonge and college, go down to dundas where jake and chad jump in the fountain (oh, brandon, adam, greg, matt, simone, shelley, and bhavna were with us) and then we head back up to college for mickey d sundaes before heading home for some much needed sleep!

it was manny's birthday monday (happy belated manny!) and tomorrow (or is it today?) is faye's birthday. tanaka's back so it'll be good times! ames' is getting her wisdom teeth out tomorrow too, so we'll be having lots of ice cream meals too...hahaha. the silly girl's been reading stories about people getting their wisdom teeth out, and is now severely freaked out. hahahaha

i'm happy. mu's in bioethics with me...frasier's in chinese philosophy...aileen's in globalization and underdevelopment...and jenny's in speech disorders and language variation. the last two classes are the best because they're small and intimate, and the profs are genuinely interested in US (not the number) and we get to pick and work on our projects for the rest of the semester. groovy. i secretly love it. hahahahaha.

oh, and one more thing....ABT's BACK!!!!!

A girl asked a guy if he thought she was pretty, he said..."no."

She asked him if he would want to be with her forever....and he said "no."

She then asked him if she were to leave would he cry, and once again he replied with a "no."

She had heard enough.

As she walked away, tears streaming down her face the boy grabbed her arm and said....

"You're not pretty you're beautiful.
I dont want to be with you forever. I NEED to be with you forever.
And I wouldnt cry if you walked away...I'd die..."

ever party on a boat cruise during the tailend of a hurricane? well it's tons of fun! we had about 200 people come out and we all danced up a storm for 3 hours. the floor of the boat was literally bouncing up and down and it reminded me of titanic, just before the windows caved in! hahahaha!

suffice to say, it's been quite a trip down drama avenue. i lost my half my voice and now ames says i sound like a really bad sex operator who's been smoking for 55 years. i've had a total of 7 hrs from monday to thursday morning, PLUS during the olympiad tuesday morning, we ALL got SOAKED to the skin and didn't have anything to dry off in so needless to say....GOOD TIMES!

so this is the end of frosh forever...this is it. the last frosh where i handle hassles of no show leaders, of endless registration, of endless bickering and drama and stressed out coordinators and marshals. it's kind of sad, really...i'm already nostalgic but i guess it'll really show next year.

school's begun....yet again. i went to my only class today, and although it's going to be ALOT of WORK...it's something i'm really interested, mainly variation within language. i'm working with professor sali tagliamonte again (i had her for LIN254), and she's pretty awesome with this stuff. the class is also very small so it's very personal and lots of discussions with the group. i love starting new classes...it's when the marks come rolling in that gets me less motivated. hahahaha, oh well, seven more months and i'm out of here!

ever been to a pub at york? well we'll see how this situation goes!

it's been soooooo crazy busy! and i LOVE IT! THIS is the busy i like! i think i need to find a job where i get to organize stuff...anything, events, parties, folders....hahahahah...just not in a basement! hahahah

i love everyone for everything you've done to make this the best birthday ever! i opened my email to the sweetest messages and people were calling me all day as i was helping out with the stuffing of the frosh kits! people went out of their way to come and see me at the madison and i fully appreciate their love!

highlights included:
- shelley (phone) and henry (msn) being the first people to wish me happy birthday at 12am!
- talking to simone on the phone till the wee hours of the morning...
- taking out condoms from the frosh kits...hey kids time for the debauchery to begin...what better way then to get 500 free condoms? hahahaha....oh this can be taken in SO MANY different ways...
- dinner with my parents (we had some GOOD FOOD!)
- shelley and karen called at the same time while we were eating, i had to call shelley back...and faye calls not 2 mins after...hahahaha...all my parents could do was roll their eyes! hahaha
- matt came down with me to st. mikes so we could finish the photocopies of the puzzle scavenger hunt
- ruby (romeila's sister) was at the smc parking booth...congrats to romeila on the birth of her son, ethan (as in ethan hawke!)
- georges, reza, matt and i walked out of the priests' residence doors to find the garden gates locked...the guys hoped the fence and had to do some pretty cool lifting and carrying of me over the fence! hahahaha
- of course i was late getting to the madison, and kept people waiting...but then we took up most of the top patio...good times!
- cha and karina bought me THREE shots...and no one would have them with me!!! so i had to have them all to myself! heeeeee
- tim attempting to have a conversation with my about teaching piano AFTER i had three shots...
- henry and katie did a good job with pretending their present to me was a dildo...hahahah
- al putting ice down my back
- simone, jake, steve, and the boys showing up and immediately getting drunk! hahahaha
- rita, jamie, and aaron couldn't get in at the front, so they had to come in from the basement!
- the piano man sucked ass, but whatever...we had a good round of "bye bye miss american pie" haha
- after having two more shots and chasing them down with a smirnoff twisted ice....I DIDN'T PUKE! yah!

so i think that was the best part of the day. i went out with faye and jamie the next day for bubble tea and now i wish school wasn't starting again! hahaha. of course frosh half-week starts tuesday so busy busy busy!

until today, i never understood why everyone thought being a leader was better then being a marshal. now i know. we had our dsac orientation today, the turnout was amazing, and i was given 10 frosh babies to go over the events with. ten pairs of eyes that were trusting me to help give wonderful tips on how to start out in university. i swear they get younger every year...manny also pointed out that we get older every year! my group was the best! hahaha, i'm not even being biased, we REALLY were the best! we won all our games (except for the tug of war...that's not our fault the rope broke! hahahah!) i think the best part is that i really bonded with my group and i felt like they were mine! hahaha, if i was 5 years younger, i'd totally date a certain person in my group! hahaha, too bad i'm sooooo old! ;p

*sigh*...it's begun, the running and shouting and fun fun fun!

i'm sitting in the backseat of jacob's car at 2am this morning, and alex is sitting next to me:
me: omg!
jake: what? what's wrong?
me: did you know...that if you put your seatbelt on....you stay in your seat!
jake: you're right! you do!
alex: oh man....
hahahahaha

the last couple of days have been so amazing! i'm so happy that i'm on vacation, i really needed this extra time. i haven't felt the feeling of being relaxed and just letting loose in a very long time! yesterday, after attending a shiva for lenny's brother with jacob and simone, we headed over to the fox and the fiddle for drinks and dancing with lucy, cherie, alex, brandon, greg, steve and chad. the atmosphere was so energetic and everyone was having SUCH an amazing time, i'm still feeling the effects this morning (oops, my bad...two smirnoff ice's and i'm soooo done. hahaha) greg was like "CHRISTINA! i haven't seen you since....YESTERDAY!" hahaha, we had gone shopping at yorkdale with chad and simone and then had dinner at the outback steakhouse. i think the last time we had pure jokes was at george bbq back in july...too good!

i've fallen in love with this punk group called "yellowcard". ok, they're not really punk, they're what matt calls "positive punk". what i find really cool about these guys is that they've got a violinist with their drums in electric guitars. it gives it a certain edge, very very cool. i bought their cd, and i'm fully enjoying the sound! i also got the "queen" hits, and we were singing "we are the champions" up yonge street on wednesday...hahaha, it was so funny people were looking at us like we were crazy...and you know what? we are! hahaha.

You tried so hard to be someone
That forgot who you are

You tried to fill some emptiness
Till all you had spilled over

Now everything’s so far away
That you don’t know where are
You are

When all that you wanted
When all that you had don’t seem so much
For you to hold onto
For you to hold onto

For you to belong to

When it’s hard to be yourself
It’s not to be someone else

Still everything’s so far away
That you forget where you are
You are

Jet

soooo.....

exams are done, back from a weekend of shopping in buffalo (guess who i ran into there? my two aunts and alex! weird, eh?), and dsac & frosh stuff is slowly coming together. monica is finally computerizing her system at the studio, you don't understand what a BIG relief that she has finally entered the 21st century! student schedules are underway and it's going to suck big time this year because i have to come in on thursdays now, which means no partying thursday and friday nights!!!

i'm so proud of myself. i put together this little pamphlet guide for commuter students at smc last night, with pictures and all! immanuel helped me with the ideas and avril was thrilled to death when she saw it today. we went shopping at costco for our waffle breakfast, but somehow we managed to get everything EXCEPT the main ingredients (waffle mix, syrup and whipped cream)...hahahaha...i guess everyone will be eating "pretend" waffles...hahahaha. i'm also really psyched about putting together the puzzles for the scavenger hunt. it's so good i wish I was a frosh again! hahahaha.

reading up on some blogs, i'm finding myself yearning to travel to the places catherine's been going to. i'm so jealous that she provided herself the opportunity to go out for 6 months in europe. i want to travel! i want to study in a foreign country, learn another language (or make myself better at one of the ones i know). so many people i know have gone to so many places...france, australia, japan...one day i'll be able to say i went everywhere, but until then...i guess i should save up! i think shelley and i will plan a backpacking trip in europe for sometime soon, maybe next year? how exciting!

i don't miss school itself, but i miss the people that i go to class with, or study with, or hang out with...where is everyone? yech, i'm tired!

i'm only blogging right now because henry was complaining that people don't blog any more...and of course i have to prove him wrong. i just got home...i JUST finished an exam....aw feck, it was LONG...i have another one tomorrow at 2pm...hahahahaha, that's FUNNY because i'm going to be shitting in my pants because i know NOTHING!!!! i've been studying for this one, and now i'm EXHAUSTED. on the bright side, i DID run into a hell of a lot of people after my exam. i returned a 2 week overdue library book to kelly library (thanks jacob!!!) and then i was wondering if i should call al, but then decided against it because i figured it would mean i'd have to stay longer and REALLY (REALLY) i need to study (well, besides this...but whatever) and then as i was walking towards wellesley, i heard this guy talking...and it was AL! he had some friend's over from L.A., and we chatted for a few mins when he mentioned that mu was working at the newsstand next to the starbucks on yonge and wellesley, so i popped by there, said hi and then waited with simone at the station for mu to get off work....and who else showed up?!?!?! yup, that's right, long time no see marko! (wow, i DID see a lot of people tonight :S)

anyway, before i forget...happy birthday ames! we're postponing her birthday dinner until tomorrow because i'm *supposedly* studying right now. hahahaha. okok....freak attack's coming on...gotta study!!!

no complaining henry!

there was no food in the fridge when i left this afternoon, and then when i got home this evening...there was like a food explosion or something. i've been in such a shitty mood today. i feel bad for the people who saw me today, i was soooo not someone you wanted to have a conversation with. jake took the subway with me to school and he was having his own conversation and rambling on and on for about 20 mins...

i went to buy some books at the rcm, and on a whim tried to check out if ed was in. he wasn't. boo. so i went to chapters and bought a book for $2.99 so i could pass the time waiting for my *last* summer class of this year. (ie, procrastination yet again...)

what an unproductive day, and plus i'm tired.

i feel like i've been in a time warp...the days have just flown by and so many things happened. i just want to stay at home and rest!

i've gotten a tan! whooo! i'm so proud to say that i went to wasaga beach on saturday...but the tan wasn't from the beach...hahahaha, that i got from my own private backyard today. wasaga was for 'work' but it didn't work out...oh well! but the worst thing is that we had marshal training yesterday and a marshal/leader meeting today, and they just take the wind out of me. although, i have to say that i got a great kick out of going out to mcdonald's with immanuel, avril and little jenny! we left the meeting today, and randomly saw steph donahue and nicole...so we stopped and started chatting with them, and then suddenly in a span of five mins, there was a whole group of other st. mike's kids and we just congregated on the side of the street and chatting up with everyone...it definitely shows how much we're like a family in our great st. mike's community! it never fails to surprise me how much i love my college (no matter how much i bitch about it)

so after about half an hour, we finally broke away from the crowd and had an amazing time the golden arch place (hahahaha). jacob, steve, and simone met up with us...simone walked in with a happy face steamwhistle cardboard box on her head. (i know, that's our simone!) she was so drunk, and kept trying to wash her feet, and then she pulled out of her bra (it was quite entertaining to see) jacob's house keys...hahahaha.

i'm so happy, shelley's back from france, and i spent the night at her place on thursday. i love how it's so much fun and relaxing to hang out with her, no stress...that's all i really need. i met carmie, and he's the greatest guy in the world, i'm so glad SOMEONE has a great stable relationship...of course, no relationship is complete without a gorgeous dog as well...hahaha.

i can't tell how this summer has been...it's like a messy relationship, i can't stand it...it's not particularly great, but it's not that bad either...grrrr....i'm getting bored and completely wiped out of the constant drama that encircles everyone. i just want to hibernate for a week.

school's done in 2 weeks, and then a short 3 week break...and then straight back into shits and giggles...sigh...

the worst part...i'm craving hashbrowns...but mcdonald's only has them for breakfast...damn.

i just found two more articles on a paper that was due today, i also just had 5 spring rolls, and about 8 handfuls of nuts, washed down with diet cola from costco...am i pregnant?!?!?! i'm a wreak. i think i'm pregnant.

i can't decide what is more exhausting...to go out partying or to study!  after a weekend of late LATE nights and then a test monday, i'm just soooooo tired!  i don't know how you people do it.  i lost half my voice after the evanescence concert, and i have a little teeny cold that i only know i have because i have the sniffles.  juju's account of the concert is pretty accurate, so no elaboration needed there.  

jacob's birthday bash at lucidworld was pretty good.  well, except for the part where the hip hop room was MUCH too small for the amount of people that wanted to dance in there, and it was hot, crowded and LOUD, but it was all for fun's sake.  of course, there was the usual drama before hand, which included simone forgetting her driver's license at home, so we had to go get it, and then she somehow left it in the fridge...(don't ask...it's too much to handle.) as well, tanaks was missing most of the day and we didn't know if we should pick her up or what, but she somehow turned up at my place while we were out getting simone's license, and mom was all freaked out when the doorbell rang because she had just showered and was in her pj's.  (hahaha, i'm sorry, but that was just too funny!)  having the girls there was nice because it's been awhile since we've all been out together...montreal in august will be interesting!  ;p

friday was georges' bbq of steaks and wine (+ beer), and we had such an amazing time there, i don't know why we didn't stay longer!  the house he's staying at is GORGEOUS, with his own plasma tv, a rooftop patio and the whole house to himself!  it was really good seeing the sorbara guys as i hadn't seen them in sooooo long!  lauren and lisa were there too, as well as some of the guys' girlfriends so there was a nice mix of girls and guys.  steve and chad showed up to pick up simone and i, so we could all give jacob (mr. birthday boy) his presents that i so enjoyed shopping for.  shopping is so theraputic for me...especially since i was so excited when i bought the most gorgeous pair of heels at aldo with tanaka...oh my poor bank account...and on borrowed money too!  hahahaha. 

i'm happy to say the weather held out for my outtings so i'm quite content.  my only other goal this summer is to hit up a beach sometime before school begins.  i've been wandering around the house with my bikini top on in hopes that the weather would be nice enough and that we'd have the time to go out...sooon...

cat, you don't even want to know how long and hard i laughed when i got your "long glance", i WILL definitely send you some stupid silly emails (i have a bad habit of forgetting to do that) i hope you're having a great time in spain!  i love reading about your excavation accounts!  ;p  oh, and don't forget to drink for me too!  please, if you have time, send me a hot boy home, k?  mwah!  hahahaha. 

what an exciting and funfilled weekend.  it included a wicked ass bbq with a high patio and st. mike's friends, a night of clubbing at lucidworld with some abbey girls and the jacob crowd, and an evanescence concert with my sister and cousins that just blew me away.  i have a test tomorrow that i should start studying for so i'll probably have more time to spend on more of the highlights afterwards.  there was just an episode that bothered me and i needed to get it off my chest. 
 
perfect by nature
icons of self indulgence
just what we all need
more lies about a world that
 
never was and never will be
have you no shame?
don't you see me?
you know you've got everybody fooled
 
look here she comes now
bow down and stare in wonder
oh how we love you
no flaws when you're pretending
but now i know she
 
never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled
 
without the mask
where will you hide?
can't find yourself
lost in your lies
 
i know the truth now
i know who you are
and i don't love you anymore
 
it never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled
 
it never was and never will be
you're not real and you can't save me
somehow now you're everybody's fool
 
- evanescence
 
this is for you, you know who you are and i hope you get it.  if you don't know who you are or you don't get it, well too bad.  that just means you don't know me and if you think about it...you're not worth my time and effort. 

i went to a rehabilitation orientation at the university center, and i'm looking forward to playing for the geriatric ward. the coordinator was so excited when she found out that i teach piano. hahaha, i'll never get away from playing piano...

hahahahaha...what was i thinking when i said a couple posts back that i'd have so much time on my hands and nothing to do? well, as immanuel said to me today "i'm too busy socializing!" that being said, it's great to see immanuel, i don't see him enough! i love catching up...all i do is chatter away...hahahaha!

it's true, it's so bad, but i'm having friends asking me out to go places but i'm having such a hard time keeping track of what and when, that i've been forced to bust out a mini-calendar to keep me on track (yes, you all know the purple/orange notebook that i use during the year...i was trying to steer clear of THAT! that's heavy duty organizing!) maybe i should just post an online calendar and people can fill in their own time slots! ;p

georges is planning a bbq at the house he's sitting for, and we met up yesterday, and man...i haven't seen that boy in AGES!!!!! since before the end of exams?!?!?! i went to japan, he went to guadeloupe...and now we're BACK! whoo! i forgot how much fun we are when we get together! soooo.....bbq friday!

But you gotta make choices, be wrong or right,
Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like,
But I was born to try

- delta goodrem

i'm so happy that i'm seeing people i haven't seen in such a long time. i find that we're all so busy, that sometimes we lose contact with people by accident...and then it comes to a point when you don't feel right contacting them, so out of the blue...gotta keep the people you love around...and sometimes it involves effort, without trying you'll get nothing...nothing falls in your lap, you've got to try...

there's an angel watching over you...

i can't sleep. i keep thanking god over and over again for having an angel watch out for one of my loved ones. what i would do without her i have no idea. i'm so grateful that the boys were there to keep her company and make sure she was ok, i love those boys. i know, jacob keeps telling me over and over not to kick myself and no one's to blame, freak accidents happen. but somehow i still think over in my head, the many stupid things that lead to this circumstance...definitely gives a different perspective as to how i take this world for granted. i'll cherish my loved ones with a deeper passion and greater respect, and not dwell on the little petty and selfish people who aren't worth a penny for their thoughts.

life goes on, it's how you make the most of it that counts...

guess where i am? that's right...school...well, gerstein to be specific. i really enjoy the libraries (well, the university as a whole) during the summer time because there are WAYYYYYYYY less people (i hate crowds...). yup, i just got another indicator of how u of t wants to screw me over. on the bright side, 9 more half courses and i'm out of here!

i've been rudely jolted out of my summer dream of just relaxing and no worrying. HA. why i even think that could happen is beyond me. i guess it's one of those "you gotta dream" kinda things. anyway, the point is, i was informed quite bluntly that i'm not being serious enough about my projects and that if i don't shape up, i'm going to be a deadweight. #1. it's fucking summertime, and this project is a work in progress STARTING in september but not even due to start until JANUARY. #2. this has me seriously considering if i WANT to stay on this project if i'm going to pushed around and made to feel awful all year round, and #3. i've come to the sad realization that i really don't have the same love and devotion to my college that i once had in my innocent first year, and maybe it IS for the best if i resign now.

this along with another self-discovery: sometimes no matter how hard you try to keep things afloat, sometimes it's best to let things go. i've exhausted myself trying to keep up with my friends and family, and suddenly it's clear that while i can go out of my way to be a good person, friend and daughter, not everyone is on the same level. i can't continue killing myself to make selfish people happy, it's time i put myself first and make ME happy. of course this is going to be difficult, it's hard to put a philosophy into play, but i have good friends and family that are willing to help me in this "change".

on another note: it's interesting how small our world is. steve, simone and i found ourselves shopping at promenade mall yesterday after the movie we wanted to see (the notebook, oh yes, you can laugh at that) was sold out. we walked into jean machine and while simone was trying on some clothes, the salesgirl approached me and asked "so...are you going out with jason?" i stared back at her (like she was crazy) and informed her that no i wasn't dating jason (for the record, i don't know any jason's), and for that matter, i wasn't dating anyone! she apologized and said she asked because i looked familiar. fine, we all had a good laugh and steve and i continued waiting for simone. then the salesgirl came BACK and asked if i was SURE i wasn't dating anyone, and i said i'm pretty sure...and then she came around AGAIN and asked if i wasn't sitting on the lawn the other day. at the last question, i suddenly remembered that yes, i WAS sitting on my neighbor's lawn on monday evening with JACOB, but how the hell she knew that, i had no idea...until she told me that she was the girl sitting in the back seat of greg's car (with greg and terry) when they were passing by! it's funny because i didn't get a good look at her that night so there was no way i could ever had recognized her, and then when simone mentioned that steve was a friend of greg and jacob, she didn't recognize steve and only about AN HOUR later did steve realize who she was.

it's a small world after all...

the weather has been gorgeous and it's making me really excited about hitting up a beach or a cottage up north! i want to suntan! simone and i even bought the cutest bikini's at aqua the other day, so now i need an excuse to wear it! ;p

my computer is being stupid again. it won't let me log into ANYTHING. no hotmail, no utoronto account, no gmail, no blogger...no matter, i have two other computers to mess around with. hahaha. but i know this inconvenience will eventually drive me crazy.

after shopping all friday afternoon (hence the new bikini's!!!!), simone and i accidently mooched a sushi dinner off of patty and her 2 friends that came in from the states! (i say accidentally because we were fully going to pay for the meal but ken and matt decided they would treat us ladies...who's to say no to that? ;p) it was really nice of them as the sushi place we went to wasn't exactly CHEAP, but the food was good, and the guys ordered cold sake wine...oh man, i got sooooo giggly it was so funny!

afterwards, simone came over and we watched a couple of episodes of sex and the city (that's our goal, to watch the whole series this summer..hahaha) before we headed out at 10:30pm to jordon's house party. this is the best part...jordon lives 2 mins away in my neighbourhood, and you can't even imagine how great it is to just walk out of the house and walk to a party. it's a lot different then going to a party downtown toronto where you have factor in the time it takes to go DOWN and back UP and plus the subway and buses...just the biggest headache in the world, which is why i hate going out sometimes!

jordon is one of the nicest people i've ever met. he and his parents are so gracious and they don't even care who comes over (for the record, i met his mother before i met him...long story...involves dragging jacob out to vote with me...). simone and i literally walked up to the house, opened the front door, and walked right in (for all we knew, we could have been in the wrong house!) jordon's mom went out and bought chasers for everyone in hopes that we wouldn't be hungover the next day! right, so who's everyone? well steve took the liberty in inviting us over, as well as some other queen's people, and along with brandon, chad and greg, i met some more of jacob's highschool guys including alex (so cute!), lenny and niv. scary guy mark dropped by as well, and my only regret is that we missed out on seeing the infamous lucy and adam! greg was so nice, he insisted on driving us home (like it's far away or something...) and the rest of the night was devoted to 6 more episodes of season one SC.

i went in for a TB skin test yesterday, and somehow also found myself taking a blood test as well. it was my very first time i've ever done one of those, but it's really not that bad...i know grace HATES needles and all i've heard are stories of people holding to every limb while someone else does the blood test, but really, other then the slightly nausating sound of the squirting blood at the end (haha, sorry if that was gross) i feel that i'll be ok for future blood tests.

ah alright, to end on a non-gross note...today we're all going out to celebrate grandma's 90th birthday, whooo...something to dress up for! hahaha.
