how to date and blog
that's the title to one of blogger's little msg thingies...i thought that was hilarious!

so i'm back from the grave...so to speak. i've been so incredibly busy, and that really sucks considering that i've just finished reading week....are you serious? reading week just went by in a blink of an eye. wow....now for the update...

got up this morning at 8:30am and freaked out because i wanted to leave for downtown at 9am, and well...that just gave me half an hour to get ready...plus i was feeling really really groggy...(there's a story to why i'm tired...i'll get to it in a bit...) made good time and then went to the OISE building to get some articles for my pop culture paper (that i'm sooooo excited about writing...and NO that isn't sarcasm...i really am interested in the topic that i'm doing). GUESS WHAT?!?!?!? ed's alive! so yeh, stopped off at the rcm to get some tax receipts for my dad, and stopped off to say hi to ed. i miss him alot, and he misses us too! BUT, he's promised that he'll come see my musical, and when he does, he'll try to come on a day that the rest of the family will be going...yay!

went out for coffee with brendan later on this morning (ok, more like noon, but whatever), and that was fun cuz the last time i saw him was at the "cowboys and schoolgirls" party during winterfest, and that was AWHILE ago. he's been chillaxing and having some mad fun, and for that....i'm green with envy...

okok, so here's the scope on the last couple of days...

went up to blue mountain with the CS people...and it was a disaster and a half. someone overbooked the bus with people and equipment, and since we were on a MAGIC SCHOOLBUS....it took half an hour to sort it out. and then just before we got to the south base lodge...the bus found its front tire in a "MAGIC" snowbank...yeh, so no skiing for me...which was ok cuz chris came by and picked me up and it was all good.

so yeh, went to the haritun's farm...and let me stop now and gush about it's quaintness. it's a GORGEOUS farmhouse...fully modernized for a city girl like me, yet still full of little frills and dainty dishes and cutlery with cows and pigs on them...so cute and "doll-like." (hahahaha, i HAD to put that in cuz tim told me that his dad would have a cow if i said it...hahahaha) i ADORE their farm, and i'd love to go up again sometime in the near future! ;p

plus i got first hand experience of chris' cooking...and i must say that i love his food. a little bit on the rich side, but hey...as long as i don't have it everyday...(and if i continue going to the gym...) it's all good

right, on to the good part....watched "fight club" half drunk on baileys, and an episode of "curb your enthusiasm" and then had a sleepless night...hahahahaha....this is where i say...chris snores and then you ALL understand...hahahaha. long story short...i was only able to get any sleep when i kicked zen out of the family room to claim the couch...hahahahaha

they also have a wild turkey which they're plotting to kill, AND a very LARGE plot of land, that we went trekking in before i left to go home. do you know how good it is to be the first people to make tracks in the snow? (well, other then the millions of rabbit footprints that we saw) i love fresh white snow...and i'm glad i was able to see it this winter!

yeh well, back to smog and reality, but now i gotta study for my 2 tests and work on my assignment that's due as soon as i'm back at school...which sucks my ass, but you know....OH WELL

even though i claim valentine's day is completely over-rated....i still enjoy a dozen long stemmed red roses, dinner at il fornello's, and baileys with chocolate-covered strawberries, whipped cream....and a fireplace! ;p

friday night dancing at ice lounge was a disaster. the venue was too small for a smcsu AND utica party, and it obviously showed because when simone and i got there at around 10:15pm, there was a MASSIVE crowd infront of the club. the doors weren't even opened until after 10:30pm, so we snuck into the line with al, pat, justin and them, but then were redirected to the front of the line on the otherside of the ice lounge, and somehow managed to get in before the ppl standing at the front of the line who were there earliest! (for the record, the people at the front of the line included adrien...wink wink) AND THEN...we get into the club, but they wouldn't even let us coat check, so in the end...we stashed our jackets in a corner and hoped no one would go through it. (no one did...hahahaha)
the company that DID get through the doors were fun. georges and justin were high on SOMETHING...and georges even almost lost his id, but i found them and now he owes me! hahahaha. i even hurt my knee when i ran into a table when i saw ray...for the record...i have the biggest bruise on my knee now. it's purple and blue...hahahaha.

i'm reading this awesome book called sons of fortune by jeffrey archer. i love the fact that i can make time for myself to just sit and read something other then a textbook.

yay reading week!

i got tea-ed yesterday. went out for my regular sushi lunch with simone, uri and chris...and flung my arm out at the crucial moment when the tea was next to me...and got tea all down the back of my left pant...hahahahaha....and plus my pants are rolled cuz i'm short...and the tea collected in the little crevice....hahahahaha....the poor sushi lady was just horrified and went all crazy psycho about cleaning me up and everything...she's so cute! but i was good, just a little wet (but i dried off eventually) and sushi was still good!

the sociolinguistics test sucked my ass. well, i guess it really wasn't THAT bad...i just didn't like it. i don't know if i'm going to do well on it or not...but i guess that's up for grabs now, huh? and i guess it didn't help that the jazz band was practicing right next to our class during the test...and they aren't exactly any good...if you get my drift...

so i know i'm lazy when....i've been wearing the same hairstyle since monday morning...yes, it's pretty bad...i put my hair in a crazy pony bob and then i've left it there...i even went to sleep and got up...looked in the mirror, thought it looked alright (ok, i stuck a headband on)...added a bit of makeup to draw the attention away...hahahaha....geez! i'm busy studying!

anyway, going to be late for lab if i don't leave the house...

Dear Christina:

I think I found what the error was. I am thus going to change your
grade to 88. I have your student number but I need your college asap,
before noon if possible.

Take care,

MD

sweet! and yes, i'll give des credit for giving me this idea of telling everyone how our original marks were not at all what we deserved...i originally had a 76%, which really isn't a bad mark, but considering what i'm NOW going to get...hahahahahahahahaha!

i was judged today...the verdict? she's "absolutely delightful" ;p
so today is chris' mom's birthday, and i went out to mandarin for dinner with his mom, dad and tim. we spent 2 1/2 hrs there and it was just soooo much fun! tim is such a shit-disturber...can't and won't shut his trap... ;p i haven't been to mandarin in such a long time, and it's good to know that the food isn't bad at all. and the dessert was the BEST part! (and this can be taken in two different contexts...if you know what i mean...*wink wink*) hahahahaha.

saw EMBRACE last night at Isabel Bader Theatre, and it was such a great show. it's a modern dance show based on a collection of different dance routines. two of my friends are in that show, melissa lawless and melissa schuter. isn't that cute? they're both melissas! and the funniest thing was that they were NEVER in the same dance routine as the other! weird!

this is bad...i'm inhaling those cookies mom made that i would have NEVER known about if i hadn't read in ames' blog that she was eating them....and now i'm finishing them...AFTER mandarin...ugh....

i would like to take this opportunity to inform everyone that I had the broken blood vessel in my eye BEFORE juju did.
(and no i'm not gloating about it, i just want everyone to know that i'm a trendsetter hahahahaha....please excuse me, it's 1 am.

so my parents are going mental. i've NEVER worked harder in my life, yet they think i'm spending all my time carousing around town. seriously, i can never win. dad flipped on me this morning because he forgot ames' textbook at home and he wanted me to bring it to him at his office, which i normally would...except for two things...wednesdays are my crazy insane busy days....and i almost overslept this morning (well, mom woke me up in the middle of this weird dream i was having...something to do with me going to a movie theatre late, and by myself...and then this random guy sitting next to me just leaned over and started devouring my ear....chris swears it was him...but i really had no idea who it was, and i couldn't find out...well, because MOM WOKE ME UP!!!!!). and then i tried to explain this to dad, and he got all huffy. boo.

i had the most amazing conversation/discussion earlier this evening with chris about corporations and their takeovers and globalization. it was really good, we were both so excited about what we were saying, that a couple times it almost went into debate...except that i'm a sucker and not very good at debating at all...mostly because my ideas are constantly changing, and i'm easily swayed by a good debate. hahahaha.

school's been sucking my ass. had a really good rehearsal with annie crane yesterday at st. joes. and i've started studying for my two tests next week, which is GOOD...ant429 lab was good today, tarik slept in and i learned alot about early miocene hominoids...whooo! i only regret not being able to photocopy the reading sets...i really should get on that considering i have a test the monday after reading week. good god reading week is ONLY A WEEK LONG!

i'm too busy. but i think we all got the gist of that.

well...

whatever the heck i had this week, it certainly took me down pretty badly. i've had some sort of cold for the past week, and although i still attended lectures, labs and ABT, (well, except for tuesday when they shut down the university cuz it was SNOWING...whatever...but i digress) i was pretty much a wreak. starting with achy bones last sunday, i KNEW i was getting something, but what i still have no clue. the whole week basically has been written off since i've had no zest (hahaha, for lack of a better word) for reading. i think it's my body telling me i've been doing WAYYYYY too much and it decided to shut down this weekend. i nearly died at work yesterday...a bloodvessel broke in my eye, and so my left eye was a network of angry red lines, AND i had to take out my contacts....oooooh....

the only good thing is that it snowed alot and this contributed to the more laxed situation, MIND you, i STILL went out tuesday, and stayed out till about 5:30pm (that's right....i had INCENTIVE at JD's...heehee...i don't know what you're all thinking about but i think it was the hot chocolate!)

even though i was dying friday night, i still went out with the sorbara 3rd floor boys, chris, and simone to le biftheque. the ribs were very large and plentiful, and i must say that alot of the guys did themselves justice by packing in two platefuls of ribs....wow...simone and i were the only girls there, and did we ever feel special! ;p i had forgotten how entertaining the guys are, and seeing them just made me miss their company even more. after dinner, chris and i walked with simone to meet up with uri, and then i proceeded to let the goddamn bug have a go at me.

on another note:

SMC drama society is presenting a musical called blood brothers in which i am to be playing the piano accompaniment with ray metts. there will be 5 shows, the first one is a preview by a select audience, and the rest are on 2 fridays and 2 saturdays. the dates of the shows are march 4, 5, 6, 12, and 13th of march starting at 7pm. great bunch of singers, i totally recommend everyone coming out to see this show (and it's not because i'm in it....ok....yes it is!) i don't know the price of the tickets yet, but i don't think it's going to be that expensive.

the smc formal will be held at the da vinci banquet hall on friday march 19th. on a hollywood glamour theme, it's $30 per person ($35 the week of) and this price includes: 2 bottle of wine for the table, 2 drink tickets, bus, and a cocktail party while waiting for the bus (i believe this is because dinner is being pushed past rush hour, and i of course am helping with the cocktail party with colin and avril, so of course it will be good!)

also, the smc symposium will also be held the same week as the formal, on sunday march 21st at in either fr. madden hall or sam sorbara hall. This year's theme is Vision for the Future of SMC and it's looking to be as good as last year's (when i ran it with flo, thanks very much) if not better (because this year, tee's running the show). Tickets are the usual, $5 for good food, free flowing wine (ok, don't take my word on that one...that was just last year) and sometimes even good entertainment! (hahaha, that's mostly if a heated debate goes on or something)

it's getting to be that time of year where i'm getting pretty burnt out. i am NOT looking forward to all this crap. did you know that february has the highest suicide rates of the year? i'm thinking it has something to do with the slugginess of the month, the lack of sun exposure is killing brain cells, as well as people. i have never had this much crap to do, and it's taking it's toll on me. and this is definitely not good, why? because most of this hasn't even HAPPENED yet...looking at my little pieces of calendar paper hurts...

no worries, all i need is some alcohol in my system, reading week (which there may or may not be reading done) and an eradication of this stupid bug that's living in my lungs...someone call the exterminator....

green eyes
yeh the spotlight shines upon you
and how could anybody deny you?
i came with a load and it feels so much lighter now i met you
and honey, you should know that i could never go on without you
green eyes

green eyes- coldplay

the greek food i had for lunch is so very filling....and is making me very very sleepy....

i'm supposedly studying for tomorrow's quiz, but i'm really bored, and plus i'm tired...but mostly bored. too much studying...hahahahaha....riiiight....

so it's apparently chinese new year... ??? hahaha, and i didn't even see mom until i just got home! she called at around 6pm and we were talking and then i said "oh, mom!" "what?" "happy new year!" "yeh yeh"....hahahahaha....ok, i thought it was funny...

my abs got the craziest workout today! first there was ABT, and then after class i met up with tarik and went to second cup to go over our notes for our 5% quiz on monday...(oooh, digression....the QUIZ is 5%...but it's TWO HOURS and made up of around 60 QUESTIONS...isn't U of T ridiculous???!?!?) and we did some nice hardcore studying for about an hour and half...and spent the next hour just talking/joking/laughing our asses off! this boy kills me! and to make things worse...his friend hashim came by and then i couldn't help falling off my chair every 2 seconds!

it's late, and i'm tired...i had a great day especially b/c i had a great waffle breakfast made by yours truly!...and then "fun in the sun!!" *wink**wink* (and btw, i KNOW you guys were waiting to read something like this...you know who you are...)

yeh, lunch was good wasn't it?

Hey chickie!!!!

guess what, u forgot this open in the cssu and i couldn't help myself hahahahha!!!

ok so ladies and gents you should know smth about xtina... she...well...she is currently...FULL, she ate so MUCH sushi for lunch that her tummy will explode, and then on top of it, she had a double scooping of ice cream hahahaah. Little piggie went to tokyo sushi. hehehhe

This is the art of cross-examination at its best. Enjoy.
WIFE: "What would you do if I died? Would you get married again?"

HUSBAND: "Definitely not!"

WIFE: "Why not - don't you like being married?"

HUSBAND: "Of course I do."

WIFE: "Then why wouldn't you remarry?"

HUSBAND: "Okay, I'd get married again."

WIFE: "You would? (with a hurtful look on her face)."

HUSBAND: (makes audible groan).

WIFE: "Would you sleep with her in our bed?"

HUSBAND: "Where else would we sleep?"

WIFE: "Would you replace my pictures with hers?"

HUSBAND: "That would seem like the proper thing to do."

WIFE: "Would you play golf with her?"

HUSBAND: "I guess so."

WIFE: "Would she use my golf clubs?"

HUSBAND: "No, she's left-handed."

WIFE: - - - silence - - -

HUSBAND: "Shit."

"...and kept getting distracted..."
geez man...you gotta finish the sentence...otherwise you're missing the most important part! :)

that's really interesting...i posted a blog...but it was cut off...and i'm too lazy to fix it so i deleted it...yet it's not really deleted...OH WELL.

i'm sooooo pissed off. who drinks all the water in the house? that's right...you KNOW who you are...and it's NOT ME. yet every friday...who's the person who has to haul these goddamn heavy cases of water into the house and into the basement? yep...you guessed it...LUCKY ME! *please note very very heavy sarcasm* and today was no exception...mom runs into the house (i thought for something important...but apparently to catch a chinese tv soap opera) and ames is studying in the basement....and i don't want dad to slip on the ice behind the car (b/c i KNOW that even if i warned him, he'll somehow do it anyway) so i'm bringing these CRATES in....skinned my knee b/c i had no one to help me open the door...now i know where the bruises come from...ugh...and i'm so upset because i HATE hurting myself...

whooo....done rant...

this is classic!

This is a great example of "did I say that out loud???

This happened at The University of Toronto (scar) last year. In a biology class, the professor was discussing the high glucose levels found in semen, which gives the sperm all the energy for their journey. A female freshman raised her hand and asked, "If I understand you correctly, you're saying there is a lot of glucose, as in sugar, in semen?" "That's correct," responded the professor, going on to add statistical info.

Raising her hand again, she asked, "Then why doesn't it taste sweet?" After a stunned silence, the whole class burst out laughing. The poor girl's face turned bright red, and as she realized exactly what she had inadvertently said (or rather implied), she picked up her books without a word and walked out of class, never to return. However, as she was going out the door, the professor's reply was classic. Totally straight-faced he answered her question. "It doesn't taste sweet because the taste buds for sweetness are on the tip of your tongue and not the back of your throat.

i have a lab from 9-1pm, class from 1-2pm, 2-3:30pm, groove nation from 4:30-5:30pm, class from 6-8pm and tutorial from 8-9pm. so why don't YOU tell me whether i can call the lab at 10am or not?

i am so seriously screwed i'm not even kidding. i've been doing nothing but working, eating, sleeping...and seeing...and i'm falling so behind in my readings! i think i need to take a weekend off and just read

i heard some big news last night...this just goes to show HOW out of the loop i am with the comings and goings of smc. yay for kirsten! ;p

work work ....ah! ...and more work!

smc parties are always sooo good! many cowboys and schoolgirls out in full force! i took a couple a pictures, but until i finish the rest of the role, everyone must wait in line to see me in a school uniform...well, unless they were out with me tonight!
drama drama, i accidently upset someone and this distresses me. i'm hoping that it will somehow right itself, otherwise i will lose a friend for a very bad reason...

and yes flo, i got the popular schoolgirl one too. i'm too tired to post it up. nitey

Sometime in September 2003:
ANT436H1 Primate Ecology & Social Behaviour (hmmm...sounds pretty good, i think i'll sign up for it)

today:
1. Mid-term test 25 %
2. Final test 25%
3. GRANT PROPOSAL 50%

1 & 2: There will be two tests, each 25% which account for 50% of your final grade. BOTH tests must be taken to pass the course.
3. A total of 50% of your final grade will come from your preparation of a research grant proposal similar to that for a "PGS A Post graduate Scholarship" from the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada. You must download and complete an abridged pdf version of Form 200 "Application for an NSERC Scholarship or Fellowship." This form must be completed using either a computer or typwriter, no hand-completed forms will be accepted.

Your research project must be field-based (ie. data collection on free-ranging primates and/or their habitats) and have an overall focus on one of the lecture topics listed below. Within that overall topic, you must select only one research question that can be completed for fulfillment of a hypothetical MASTER'S degree. Thus, you should pick a topic that can be completed with 2-4 months of field research. You can choose any primate species for your study animals. Please note that I expect you to also include your research site, data collection methods, and data analysis methods. Your proposal must address at least two questions or two alternative hypotheses.

(OMG.....i'm going to die....)

well other than this course, everything else seems pretty good. actually, that statement made it seem like this course is bull...it's not. it really looks good...just really overwhelming....and HARD. i bought some course books and the TWO books combined totalled even MORE then what i paid for my cd discman...

*sob* my poor bank account!

i'm officially frozen.

the basement office will give me pneumonia, it's soooooo cool! i can hear the wind howling outside and this morning, the bay st. wind nearly blew me over! the coffee i had this morning is tiding over well as i've done alot of stuff for eva this morning...yay, after this week and even possibly next week, i should be able to cut back on the hours i go to this hole!

oh shoot, now that i've thought about sleep, i'm tired...ugh. someone kept me up late this morning, you know who you are. you will pay dearly...i think i'm half an inch shorter because my jeans hem is cleaning the sidewalks of toronto.

time to plug for smcsu: winterfest begins today, the schedule is on smcsu.com, and there's going to be an awesome party on saturday...'cowboys and schoolgirls' hahahahaha!

reverse psychology...

school begins again tomorrow....gah! i'm not finished doing nothing yet! although i guess it's only best because otherwise i'd continue spending a lot of money that i may not have! i don't even want to look at my bank account it's that bad...plus during the break, the hart house aerobics staff were also on break, so i desperately need to get back to groove nation and ABT! hahahaha!

i'm proud to say that i have done a lot more readings then i thought i would have done, although my downfall is in practicing for the musical...which is REALLY REALLY BAD because i just got an email today that i have rehearsal wednesday...uh oh!

after reading grace's blog, i decided to watch 'cold mountain' for myself and i went to see it with karen today. yes, i agree it's a good movie, but it also made me sad! a lot of bloodshed and bullet holes, and before i ruin the movie for anyone else who's planning on seeing it....it's SAD! oh, and i learned something new today....karen has SIX cats...and some of them are fat...

did you know cats can become depressed as well?

LORELAI: So, what's going on with Luke here?
SOOKIE: I don't know. I've been keeping my distance because of what happened.
LORELAI: What happened?
SOOKIE: Well, he was lying on the floor pretty much like that, tinkering with stuff back there, and I got down and leaned in to see what he was doing, and after a while, I realized that the whole time, my hand was on his butt.
LORELAI: Sookie!
SOOKIE: It was an accident.
LORELAI: It's getting very Cinemax at night in here.
SOOKIE: It was embarrassing.
LORELAI: Uh huh. So, how was it?
SOOKIE: His butt?
LORELAI: Yeah.
SOOKIE: It's got a nice shape to it.
LUKE: Will you two stop talking about my butt?

Gilmore Girls - Keg! Max!

this is what happens when i spend my winter vacation reading transcripts of gilmore girls!

this winter break has gone by in such a whirlwind of news and excitement! there's been much catching up done with highschool girlfriends and seeing family members who forgot that i'm 21 years old and bought me a hot pink XXL turtleneck from GAP KIDS!

flo's birthday at the hot house cafe was the best as the sun was out in full force, shining while we were at harborfront...lots of pictures from that, thanks to matt and his camera!

i was really happy because i was able to get some readings done for school as well! tanaka and i went to the library for a couple days to get some stuff done, and that made me feel like i did something this holiday! and now i can party in peace tonight! whooo!!!

who said the partying's done?

i hope everyone has a fantastic NEW YEARS!

HELLO!


Merry Christmas everyone! xoxoxo!

oh man, i was just checking up on al's website and he's got a lot more of those halloween photos up and wow....i'm sooooo gone in some of them! i went and uploaded all of my pictures (because i now have this unknown concept of new-found freedom) and you can laugh at them, it's great!

i'm telling you ALL, i have started a new fad with those huge-ass earmuffs, matthew LOVED them. he literally took mine off and started wearing them on the street...plus flo had bought a pair of her own, and i had bought two more for simone and tanaks (that's right, i KNEW tanaka would love them) we basically looked soooo goofy walking along bloor street to meet up with robin, merrill, ben-jammin (gotta roll the shoulders when you say that name... ;p), and geordie. i miss the pol200 people so much! we used to have sooo much fun driving our T.A. nuts with our craziness, and how many times did we just randomly stand up and leave the lecture when it got boring? and our professor's HORRIBLE fashion sense! that was a joke and a half!

it's been so long since i've randomly walked the streets of the downtown area, it's quite refreshing...depending on the area. ben wandered around with me around the bloor area, and the little underground tunnels were full of people who all seemed to be in a rush to go somewhere important, so of course, we deliberately walked slowly and laugh at them. but later on that night when i was walking around spadina and queen, there was a real nice laziness in the air and it was quite fun, just randomly poking my head into little cute jewelery stores, and sketch bookstores.

which brings me to a little rant about shopping. i hate shopping at this time of the year. everything seems so rushed, and people seem to lose their sense of decorum and manners, just pushing and shooving and hurraghing...i hate the fact that christmas is so commercialized and everything is about BUYING something. you can't buy love. you can't buy happiness (although i know there are people out there that would contest). you can't buy all the time back that's been wasted doing god knows what. i don't know what all the rush is about. is it so important to spend cash on something for a person? i'd rather just go out and see people, and spend time with family and friends, maybe watch a movie, or catch up over coffee....that's so much more productive. too bad we can't have another black out like the one we had in the summer, although it would be a little bit more uncomfortable considering it IS coldER outside now.

well now, i guess i'm done the rant....and now that i've finished with that, i guess i'm done with this post as well.

i lied, i went and saw the mona lisa smile today, it was a good movie with tons of potential, but most of the characters were underdeveloped and the ending was quite unfullfilling. the whole movie centered julia roberts and in doing so, many great actresses (like julia stiles) seemed unimportant. oh well, maybe they want to come out with a sequel, which of course, will suck.

ok, now i'm really done. ;p

okok...i have 5 mins before i go off shopping, but i was reading ames' blog and her friend put up the funniest thing! My favorite one was the one with angel and legolas, but only people who watch Queer Eye would get the jokes!

Queer Eye for the Fandom Guy

A Fab Five Primer:

Carson = fashion
Kyan = grooming
Thom = décor
Jai = culture
Ted = food and drink



Subject one: Fox Mulder

THOM: Ohhhh-kay. For the record, you can make a coffee table out of almost anything: a door, an ottoman, old steamer trunks. You cannot make a coffee table out of stacks of porn videos.

MULDER: That’s not a coffee table. It’s just -- convenient.

TED : Guys, do NOT sit on the sofa. (Thom quickly begins covering the sofa in Saran Wrap.)

MULDER: Probably wise.

CARSON: Let’s talk about this closet. I’m not seeing anything too scary here. That’s because I’m only seeing one thing here. Tell me, Fox -- GREAT name -- what do you wear to work?

MULDER: Dark suit, conservative tie.

CARSON: What do you wear when you go out in the evenings?

MULDER: Like to meet informants? Dark suit, conservative tie.

CARSON: And for a date?

MULDER: Date?

THOM: The rest of the apartment is like some Soviet décor gulag -- but the bedroom is fantastic! Who did this for you? Because, let’s face it, you didn’t do this yourself.

MULDER: Kind of a weird story, really --



Subject two: Blair Sandburg


KYAN: Okay. You have chosen to wear your hair this way because -- why?

BLAIR: I don’t know. It’s always been curly. It’s this or white man’s ‘fro.

CARSON (sotto voce): And this is NOT white man’s ‘fro?

KYAN: Don’t get me wrong; I salute you for avoiding the ‘fro option. But you can’t just give up. You have to say, I’m willing to fight this. I’m READY to fight this.

BLAIR: I didn’t think it was that bad.

KYAN: Science makes bold leaps forward in hair-care every day, Blair. Waxes. Spray starches. Japanese thermal straightening. We have the technology.


Subject three: Captain Jack Sparrow


CARSON: Okay, this is your normal everyday look? This isn’t, like, terror drag?

JACK: Oh, this old thing. (Holds out the sleeves of his coat, tosses his hair.)

CARSON: Well, the good side is, you’re not afraid to take chances. We can work with that.

TED: Come and take a look at the bar. We’ve tried to provide a little more variety, a little more finesse -- some top-brand vodka for mixers, a nice brandy --

JACK: Where is the rum?

TED: Rum -- you know, rum’s nice in a pina colada or something like that, but it’s a little downscale, and if you’ll just consider --

JACK (pulls out musket): We’ll be putting the rum back, mate.

TED: And the rum goes back.


Subject four: Lex Luthor


KYAN: Looks like I’m sitting this one out.

THOM: The stained glass, the statues -- I feel like I’m visiting a museum, not hanging out at a friend’s house.

LEX: I don’t like my possessions stored away in vaults. Wealth isn’t real unless you can see it. Unless you can feel it.

JAI (stares long and hard): Are you SURE you belong on this show?

LEX: Maybe.

CARSON (sticks his head in from the hallway): This man’s closet is FULL of silk shirts in soft pastels and deep purple.

LEX: Okay. Maybe not.


Subject five: Legolas Greenleaf


KYAN: Most guys with long hair don’t put in the time to condition properly, but you have, which is kind of the saving grace here.

LEGOLAS: Elves have no split ends. Our hair is, like the rest of our bodies, perfect and unchanging.

KYAN: Well, it’s past time for changing, because this look hasn’t been in since -- well, ever.

CARSON: Also, when you combine it with this outfit you’ve got going? The overall effect is very Cathy Rigby as Peter Pan. Not sexy.

JAI (gestures toward the windows, which are lined with screaming girls, all clawing at the glass): I’m not sure this guy has a big problem with that.

LEGOLAS smirks.



Subject six: Angel


The FAB FIVE stare.


KYAN: He uses product.

CARSON: The jacket, the pants, the shirt -- it all works.

THOM: Why are you even here?

ANGEL: Cordelia made me. She wants your autographs.

KYAN: It’s like he’s the One Straight Man foretold by prophecy.

ANGEL (grimaces): Please, no prophecies.

CARSON: For the first and only time, I’m going to say it -- Don’t change a thing.

ANGEL: Can I go now?



Subject seven: Magneto


JAI: Okay, I feel like you’re giving off really hostile vibes. What is the image you’re presenting to the world? What are you trying to communicate?

MAGNETO: That humanity’s time is over, and that they will soon be crushed under my heel.

JAI: Negative, negative energy. You’d be a lot happier if you’d try something just a little lighter, a little more colorful. And so I thought we’d start with your name. "Magneto" -- so harsh, and frankly, it sounds like you’re trying just a bit too hard.

MAGNETO: I no longer wish to be known by my human name.

JAI: I get that. So I just want to show you -- we switch two letters around, and we get something so much brighter: "Magento."

MAGNETO: I’m going to have to kill you all now.

CARSON: Not before you explain this helmet.

my kids love me!

i'd been getting christmas presents from them all day at the studio...i bought monica and patty the cutest set of coffee cups from first markham place, snoopy is cool! hello kitty....not so much...

oh yeh, so last night i went to see handel's messiah and there was this old guy who was sitting next to me, and he REEKED of alcohol and cigarettes...that was quite disturbing, AND he kept falling asleep, it was actually quite funny, he'd start off blinking ALOT, and then when i noticed that all motion was still, i turned my head and he was sleeping! monica scares me sometimes, during intermission she was telling patty that one of the 50 sopranos singing in the choir was too sharp, and that she had narrowed it down to 3 girls who could be singing too sharp! and i thought i had perfect pitch...this is what happens when you go on an outing with people from a music studio!
steve looks like a penguin in his suit.

the friday night dinner at le biftechque was quite good too. i was completely surrounded by CS people, and then there was matthew and jo, oh well, it's all about good food and good company! ;p you know you're at a CS party when the guys are totally getting a kick out of sticking an HP bottle in their pocket and pretending they've got a hard-on for the guy who's in the picture next to them! weird.

thursday, went to mama mia with my family, and you KNOW you bought the last seats cuz we were sitting in the LAST TWO CORNER rows...that's right, the two highest seats were occupied by my parents! but it was still really good, and now i'm rocking out to ABBA songs!

i'm still tired, i don't feel like i've got up, so i'm going to take a nap.

i just got back from an amazing performance from the toronto symphony orchestra and the mendelssohn choir which steve szmutni, a fellow co-worker was singing with. i'm am SOOOO tired, and now i'm also cranky because a certain someone is being an ass, and you bet your ass you know who you are if you're reading this. if you're going to f***ing call, CALL, if not, don't make me stay up cuz i'm f***ing tired, and you KNOW i'm really pissed if i'm swearing.

i have so much to say, yet no zest. so good night.

oh, and i just did a test, i haven't done one of these in the longest times....got if off of des and jona's blog...wheeee...

You are water. You're not really organic; you're
neither acidic nor basic, yet you're an acid
and a base at the same time. You're strong
willed and opinionated, but relaxed and ready
to flow. So while you often seem worthless,
without you, everything would just not work.
People should definitely drink more of you
every day.


Which Biological Molecule Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

just finished watching "down with love" with simone, what a great movie...all the little sexual innuendos!!! i love the 60's styles and i love ewan mcgregor....ahhhhhh

kensington was a blast! brendan took me to this really cool coffee shop where the beans are freshly grounded, and with the smell of fresh coffee and sketch people, it's great! and then we went eating at the little chinese restaurant south of college on spadina, before stopping by their place to see the cat.

oh, and plus mom lost her voice. i know, weird....she called from home, but when i answered, i thought she was in a library because she was whispering...everything was so funny! (well, i thought it was anyway)

you think you know people, but you always see different sides once you get to know them....and you'll NEVER EVER really get to know someone (unless it's family...or a really good friend/enemy)

edit

boys suck.

i love being free of studying, exams, papers.....school! after work today, i went with al to the lcbo to get georges his present...and i got him baileys (whooo baileys!) and then he insisted we each have a shot, before he went out to dinner with anna at the 360 (CN Tower) whooo anna! i think that was a really nice idea!

so here i am with a belly full of baileys (i know it was one shot, but i'm a cheap drunk!) and what do i do? i head off to hart house and study for about an hour or so (who does that? ME!), and then flo and i go out for crepes (she followed the music into this store...ahahahah, talk about advertising!) and starbucks coffee, which may have been a bad idea for this chick, if you know what i mean....we were like two crazy drunks on the subway, laughing our asses off, and we were totally on a roll with the newspaper crossword puzzle!

i ran into aaron and colin as i was heading off to see ed for a piano lesson (which never transpired because my computer clock is half an hour late, and sooooo....you know what happens) and i sooo miss them! colin was hilarious! he had just finished his last exam so he was really letting loose! he showed us how to do a grande plie, picture colin with his ass sticking in the air, and you driving by! hahahaha!!!

i'm now exhausted from my productive day, and yay! tomorrow...kensington here i come!

drunk people do some funny shit. i went with faye to her CIBC dinner party yesterday and one of her co-workers, jimmy, got plastered! it was interesting because i don't think i've ever witnessed anyone that drunk before (because i'm usually the really drunk person...hahahaha) and man, i felt bad for the poor kid. we finished 4 bottles of wine at our table, and jimmy finished almost 2 himself. AND THEN HE PUKED IT ALL UP... in the washroom! did i mention he's also asian? good times!

tomorrow is george's birthday and i totally forgot! thank goodness i spoke to anna! otherwise it would have all been for naught! ;p crap, it just means i have some serious christmas shopping to do tomorrow! AND IT'S SNOWING!!!! which means walking outside will be hazardous! which really sucks because i have to go buy tickets to see princess di's dresses for my mom, and my boots have holes in them. hahaha! ok, maybe not too much fun for me...

ooooh, the funniest thing happened during my exam yesterday. i was writing my bioethics exam in lash miller, and that room is very airy and every little thing can be heard. well, anyway, i was writing the exam when someone let out the biggest stomach fart!!! at first i thought it was me! and then my T.A. sheepishly says "oops, sorry! i had a big lunch!" hahahaha, it was priceless!

edit

i just finished watching "queer eye for the straight guy", and today's episode was one of the most emotional ones i've seen. the guy, alan, basically screwed up everything, from wiping sweat on a towel that he used on food, to breaking a nice glass, to fixing really really strong drinks for the parent...man, i felt for him, but it was really good! i love watching this show, carsen kills me! so flamboyantly gay! i love it! but my favorite guy is jai, i think he waxes his legs! whooo!

colorless green ideas sleep furiously

it's 11:25pm, and i haven't really studied since i came home. which is what henry predicted but i digress. (btw, i put that in there to make henry feel special)

i just had some hashbrowns and i'm not feeling too good about them. oooooh....

and i'm sooooo tired, so i'm going to sleep, even though i haven't finished those questions, oh well.

hmmm. i just had a thought....I DON'T WANNA WRITE ANY MORE EXAMS!!!! i don't care if the prof gave us the questions already, i don't want to be sitting in a goddamn library making my bum flat (however, i guess i'd be doing the same thing at work anyway) i think i've mentally gone on vacation already and that's not a good thing.

so i'm not going blind, although my eyes are bad...but my eye doctor freaked me out saying stuff how because my perscription is so high, she wants me to do an eye dilation test to see if there's any tearing in the retina and if so, need surgery blah blah blah....freaked me out...and then all for nothing. and then after, mom was clutching my arm to make sure i could walk properly (i could see FINE...my pupils were just really really large) and then she told me not to strain my eyes looking at the clothing at urban planet (oh right, my eye doctor's office is at the promenade mall, and we parked outside of urban planet, which was why we were walking through it) hhahahah, very funny mom.

"how to deal" with mandy moore is a cheese movie. but it's great, i feel like it reflects my life, job well done.

i'm tired. i have work tomorrow, and i'm contemplating if i should work or study...hmmmm....money or library?

???

i FINALLY saw "pirates of the caribbean", and i have to say that it is one of the BEST movies i have ever seen! now i really know why everyone is in love with orlando bloom, i fell in love with his character, he's so smart, yet so dumb...hahahahaha and johnny depp is REALLY good as this captain....AND the comic relief...

ames and i went out to rent the dvd earlier this evening, and the wind was sooooo freezing cold that we stopped off at starbucks for some coffee and then headed over to pizza pizza for a box of pizza (and ringalos) to bring home. and plus dad bought some bacardi breezers for last night's dinner guests, and well, they didn't have any, so i helped myself to one...and WHOOOOO.....it's a good thing i don't drink often! ;p

last night's hockey game was AMAZING! this is one of those games where you're proud to be smc! our team tied with vic in the last 20 secs of the third period, and then scored the winning goal 5 secs into overtime! i was so afraid we were going to lose! it was the italians that kept us going...mainly matt di giovanni...and there were quite a few people there that i hadn't seen in awhile too...like duane rendle was there and i congratulated him on his wife being pregnant...awwww...and greg di tommaso and his buddys were drinking beer and being all too rowdy, quite a lot of fun!

well, i think i'll watch pirates again....

WOW

i'm done. no not really, i still have one more exam next friday, but that will be a BREEZE compared to all i've done already. the food lady at the gerstein cafeteria knows me now, and somehow i don't think that's really a good thing. that's right, gerstein is one of the best places to study at u of t, except, unfortunately, most everyone knows that too. if i want a good spot (ie. next to a window) then i have to be at the library latest by 10am. otherwise you get shit spots. they really fill up fast.

i'm so bloody pissed at my TA for ant204. this is the TA for that tutorial i'm always bitching about....the one that's from 8-9pm on wednesday nights. i think she hates me. i got a paper back, and when i'm reading the comments (which isn't very much), i get the impression that i did well....until i see the mark...and it just BLOWS the mind away. i guess i have to go "see" my TA. F***ing BITCH.

but now that i'm finished with this hellish week, i'm am SOOOO ready to party...beginning with the SMC vs. VIC hockey game tomorrow night!

HIDE THE RUM AND VODKA!!! ;p

someone PLEASE SHOOT ME NOW!

i still have another exam tomorrow...have i started studying for it? NO! why? because i just finished one now, and i need to do some sort of mental dump before filling it with new junk. unfortunately, i don't have time for that, and so now i think i'm just procrastinating from starting my studying....dun dun dunnnnn...oh man, i'm psycho! but then, we also knew that, didn't we?

after my test tomorrow, i have rehearsal and then i need to start my paper that was due....today...hahahahaha...oh dear, and work wants me in on thursday too....

did i mention i had coffee? heeeeheee. and ames is playing nicklebacks' "someday" and it's making me sad. ooohh...

anyway, enough procrastinating...tough out 2 more days!

well, until i start preparing for my exam next friday...

what day is it today? friday? you'd think i'd be happy that it's friday...but i'm NOT!
i don't want to work this weekend! it's bad enough that i have to START studying for my tests, but now i also have a full day of teaching...and that is a big drainer too!

i overslept this morning, and as a result, i'm sooo behind. i have still have to finish one last essay for tuesday but i'm soo tired of writing essays...now i know why people want to plagarize! the only good thing about this last essay is that it's very interesting and so i get into the material, the bad thing is that i'm lazy!


okok, stop procrastinating! *head banging on desk*
i'm going out to buy black hair dye to cover my white hairs...

i'm soooo screwed....soooooooo screwed....i'm overstimulated on a very very high caffeine kick, but i've run out of ideas on what to say/write. it doesn't help that i don't know anything and that i'm tired. oh wait, i can't sleep...

i have half my paper done, but it makes absolutely NO SENSE. a mess of mumble jumble...although, at least the prof will know that i couldn't have plagarized anything!

i feel like i'm drunk!

today was any researchers worst nightmare...ok, YESTERDAY...

the gist of it....lost my research papers, had a freaking heart attack because the paper was due TODAY, went to see my prof, gained an extension until friday (becuase i had to go back to robarts and RE-photocopy my lost research paper, to re-read and make notes), and then got an email from mark sutherland an hour before my class saying how i had left all my research papers after rehearsal last night and if i was looking for them, they're in his mailbox...*sigh*

so now i have double copies of my research, i'm $5 poorer, AND i have been dubbed a "boofhead"

no time to worry about that...must begin bioethic paper tomorrow morning!

i'm soooooo happy!

i haven't seen tanaks, faywood, cha and corona in the LONGEST TIME! and we've been playing catchup since we got to kingston last night. three of us split a pitcher of canadian beer (and it was GROSS), but we got nicely buzzed and went dancing at AJ's.
after AJ's, we went and broke into cha's house to steal some blankets, and we made sooo much noise giggling that we got caught! ;p
the cha and corona drama seems to have subsided and they are now going to see kill bill. this is sooooo crazy fun!

i thought there were no asian people in queens, but we found this place where it's full of asian people. i was wrong...it's like the sid smith hanger!

why the drama? why? WHY?!?!?!?!

i'm sooo very tired....of both the drama and because it's late.

i wish all courses are like JAL253. i got my test back today...and guess what?

100%

(i thought it would better in a line by itself)
that's amazingly awesome! i can't believe that i did better then des! (who did just as well, she and i had a huge debate on the last question, and i obviously came out victorious)

school is killing me. why am i in school if it is to be the death of me? that is the paradox that is currently bugging me. please let me know if have the answer.
i have 4 papers due within the month, and then the first week of december i'll have 2 midterms and 2 finals. i don't know what do first, i wish everything would magically do itself...unfortunately...no.

tomorrow is bonding night with the musical cast: blood brothers. they're going somewhere like just desserts! i think i might stop by for some dessert....mmmm....dessert....
also, the italian pasta and wine is thursday night, and since i'm half-italian (;p), i think i might go for some free food! and then on friday, i'll be off to queens with faye and karina. now THAT will be some good times!

i got my free flu shot at the clinic in the koffler centre today with immanuel and i'm hoping that i don't get sick from it, otherwise it would really be a downer for queens. i AM feeling tired, although i don't think that's the actual flu thingy, but maybe cuz i haven't had my beauty sleep. maybe i should go sleep....AFTER gilmore girls! hahaha.

so apparently people aren't able to see those pictures because my website keeps going over the bandwidth? i don't know what that is. but i've cleaned up the page by deleting a lot of old/less flattering pics...heehee, i hope everyone can see the pics now.

on another note: i hate robarts with a passion. i think my goal in life is to be able to kick that building to the ground. (yeh right, like that will ever happen) every time i go there, i can never get anything good out of it. none of the books i want is ever there. yuck.

i made $30 stuffing envelopes today, $30 labeling and putting stamps on yesterday, and i've discovered my love for radiohead!

proposal...DONE! whoo! i spent a whole total of 5 hrs on it, and handed it in! at least it's not late.

also...pics are up!

enjoy!

THE MOST INSANE HALLOWEEN PARTY EVER!

hello. for all my lovely and caring friends out there, i AM alive and well. although i was pretty much hungover for most of the day! ;p

we looking fucking fantastic last night! we all got ready at kirsten's and then the 6 pirate girls trooped over to sorbara and as anna described it, we looked like we came out of a movie or something and there should have been music playing in the background. i promise promise that the pictures will be up soon, i just need to finish the rest of the roll of film. on that note: i also i have pics from the game last night but i'm too lazy to scan them in...hahaha

anyway, back to last night...basically, it was a great night, but it included too much alcohol consumption (i know it sounds stupid but when you're in the mood and atmosphere, you forget how much you drink UNTIL you start puking....) and not enough water, in FACT, the bar ran out of cups and they didn't have any water...which eventually drove me to drink the tap water from the washroom!

in the end, i was pretty much wasted and i would like to thank BOTH aaron's for looking out for me. it was pretty funny actually, aaron (gay aaron) is the skinniest and sweetest guy ever, and he was also drunk out of his ass, but he was THREATENING the OTHER aaron (webster) that if he didn't watch out for me, or didn't make sure i got home alright, he'd get him...which was soooo sweet, but really, he didn't have to do that cuz webster would have done it anyway!

kirsten and the others went to frans after the party, but at that point i was in NO condition to go anywhere but rez, and when we got there, gabe (the porter) was nice enough to open up the cafeteria so i could have 5 glasses of water, and then i stole kirsten's bed. har har!

now, off to give treats to the trick/treaters!

attention everyone...please look at the time. i JUST got home. heh heh

a brief recap of this day:

went to see the raptors home opener....AND THEY WON!!!!! WHOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!! 90-87...what an intense and exciting game! i swear that i must have had multiple heart attacks in the last 15 seconds, and they WERE the longest 15 seconds of my entire 21 yr old life. and it was great because i went with a whole bunch of people that i haven't seen in the longest time (which isn't saying much...i have really been seeing anyone other then ppl in my class!) 3rd floor sorbara boys, kirsten, lauren, and the st. joe's gang.

the best was AFTER the game and how i was HOPING to get home relatively early because i have to work in the morning (oops, i guess that won't be happening) and i was getting a ride home from simone's father, but her father's friend insisted on taking us out for drinks....MARTINI'S!!!! it was my first martini ever...and it was soooo good! we went to this bar (?) called jump, and the father's friend schmoozed with everyone there! what a suave guy! smooth operator!

anyway, now i need to get some much needed rest as tomorrow is a no sleep day! hahahaha!!! ;p

what i did this weekend:

work
sleep
eat
watch sex and the city, queer eye for the straight guy....and charlie's angels 2 (what an AWFUL movie)
sleep
eat (sushi!)
sleep
see aaron for bbtea
rehearsal for blood brothers
eat
...
damn, this is horrible! i have done no work....ok, no that's a lie, i did my readings for my classes, but i've been procrastinating horribly on my proposal...*insert whine here* "i don't wanna do it!" maybe later....heh heh YEH RIGHT.

went to visit kirsten after rehearsal, she was making our costumes, and the sleeves are soooo big! she could wrap the material all around me like a dress! btw, the costumes look like they'll be kickass, i just have to find time to go over there to have my skirt made. AH.

basketball game wednesday night, and halloween party thursday night...

someones gonna let loose. ;p

whoa...crazy week!
i had that presentation on monday night, and it was horrible! there were 7 presentations that night, and of course i had to go LAST! maryanne and i were just ready to burst from stress, i think that was the worst class ever, we couldn't concentrate on ANYTHING the other students were saying! and now i have to work on a 6 page proposal for monday and i haven't really started any research. GAH!

the test on tuesday was a joke. des and i spent 2 mins thinking "WHAT?!?!? is this test a joke?" and then 3 mins later, our test was done. if only all our tests at u of t could be like this.

i went to the tell el-masha'la info session yesterday b/c i wanted to see if i could apply to go to egypt for the summer. but after THAT, i don't think i want to go. firstly, there's so many other people there (about a hundred) and they're only taking 20 people. also, the weather at the time of the excavation will be up to 45 degrees, not including humidity. the living conditions will be SPARSE, and i'm such a city girl (not that i couldn't live sparingly if i had to, i just like my comforts!) of course, i'd be giving up a great opportunity to go and dig some burials that the group discovered last year, and i think that would be soooo cool!

ooooh, i went to the gap for the first time since i quit last winter yesterday, and WHO did i have to see when i'm in there? yah, that's right, you ALL know who. he's not even worth mentioning here, but it was sooo awkward and i wanted to run away, but he wanted to hug me, so i hugged him and THEN ran away. luckily, i was with avril and she and i browsed for a bit, but there was nothing nice there (well, i was there to buy a purse but there were no nice ones left) and so we left and i bought a pair of track pants from jacob! yay jacob! and it felt sooo nice to just shop! i haven't gone shopping in the longest time, haven't the time. plus i didn't have the $$$.

ugh...i want to just sit and do absolutely nothing. however, i seemed to have found myself playing for a musical and now i need to practice for the rehearsals AND i need to work on that proposal.

i AM marilyn monroe.

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!
