Any prof who quotes House once is a prof after my own heart. Any prof who quotes House THREE times (obessed as he may be) is wonderful!

Love you Charlie Brown!

TV joys ... and sorrows

Its great! TV shows I like. There's something (or more) for every night.

Monday: I'm in class.. so it doesn't matter.
Tuesday: House and Standoff
Wednesday: Bones, Justice and Criminal Minds - biggest problem is that Criminal Minds and Justice are on at the same time... a shame.
Thursday: Grey's Anatomy
Friday: Numb3rs
Saturday: umm... I don't know..
Sunday: Desperate Housewives.

I discovered all this tonight... when I should have been writing an essay. But its mostly done. I have the outline done and all the info compiled. I can throw it together in no time.

An observation... in a wondering question form: Do they really need to make commericals for personal lubricants? Really, is it necessary?

Also... television can be really depressing... criminal minds tonight was about a child porn ring and such... it was horrible... good thing I have an essay tonight cause all hope of my sleeping was ruined with that one hour of tv.
Anyways... gotta get to work. Later.

Is there a chance that I might have feelings too?

Just because I've made a decision about ending a relationship, doesn't mean it doesn't upset me or bother me that its over. I'm so sick of people thinking that just cause I ended it means I'm perfectly content with the idea and that I'm not saddened or angered with anything concerning it.
I'm so freakin' miserable right now its not funny, I feel so hopeless and so confused and frustrated right now that I can't even think straight. I can't even keep my mind on something else long enough to understand the definition of a word. I feel like I'm walking around in this fog of unhappiness and anger that's never gonna clear up.
I hate myself for this. I hate myself for hurting the first person I ever truely cared about and a huge part of me begs that no one allow me to love again for fear that I'll hurt someone else cause I can't bloody well decide what I want. I'd never been happier, yet I wasn't happy. How much stupider can you get really?
I'm lonely. I want someone to hold me and tell me they love me. I just want comfort. And I don't know why I'm sad, and I don't know how to explain my sadness or any of my other feelings. But they're there.
And no one understands, there's no one to tell anything to, no one to just hold me and let me cry. No one to tell me I made the right or a good decision, no one to even say "It'll be okay". Nobody. So instead I sit down at my computer, and like the geek/loser I am, cry to my blog.
I'm so screwed up inside right now... Meredith on "Grey's Anatomy" summed it up perfectly: "Dark and Twisty". I am dark and twisty. So much. I am so f***ked up that its probably good that I'm losing everyone I love. Saw a pyschologist Monday... good to know I'm not the only one who realizes there's just something wrong with me. After a couple hours of psychoanalysizing (or however you spell it) me, I got more meds (not that I'll take them) and follow up appointments for the next 10 years of my life (that's a bit exagerrated). They've even given my problems fancy-medically names to make me sound even more crazy like, paranoid anxiety and obssessive-compulsive and apparently I'm dsylexic.. who woulda thunk it? I personally am not convinced cause I am an excellent speller and reader (though not aloud - apparently therein the problem lies).
So yes.. I am screwed up... if you Mr. Blog had doubted it at all. Though YOU would be the crazy one if you had.
Books and an essay await.

umm... Do I know you?

Okay... I don't know many people up here. And those I do know I will know to recognize for sure, cause I know them well.
However, there is this girl on the bus from my place that seems to know me. She waves to me when she gets on the bus, and then whenever she sees me around the university she says hi. I, of course, return the salutation, cause I'm nice. But I have no clue who she is. Mind you, she looks really familiar... but I don't know who she is.. and its driving me crazy!
I'm much too shy to ask if I know her, and that's just rude. Maybe she's just being friendly... I really don't know but its getting quite frustrating.
But oh well... I'm sure I'll figure out how I know her eventually.
Back to work.

Weekend Extravaganza... I think...

Its Sunday. Already.
Realized I hadn't posted in awhile and therefore I should because one of the one people who reads this will complain soooo... here goes.
I just finished paying bills. I really hate paying bills. But its done now. Went to check my airmiles to see how many I had. Well apparently I have zero. I'm not impressed. last time I checked I had over 200. Soo.. I will be calling to check up on that one. That's for sure.
So I went out Friday night. I can't do that too often, takes too long to recover. I spent all day Saturday in bed, except for a food expedition at 11pm. But I did have fun. Apparently I can dance, which was quite enjoyable.
Today, consisted of sleeping in, then sneaker shopping. So now Pauline and I can start running. Joy. And then we were craving chinese food so we got ingredients and came home and made chinese food. I bought willow some toys today. She's been bored I think, so now she has toys. And I bought kitty litter. I was proud. I lifted the 18 kg box of litter. Very very proud.
Anyways, gonna go watch Chronicles of Narnia and have Junior Mints. Later

Its possible I'm bored....

Sooo.. jokes!
The not necessarily well-prepared student sat in his life scienceclassroom staring at a question on the final exam paper. The question directed: "Give four advantages of breast milk." What to write? He sighed, and began to scribble whatever came into his head, hoping forthe best:
1. No need to boil.
2. Cats can't steal it.
3. Available whenever necessary.

So far so good - maybe. But the exam demanded a four-part answer. Again, what to write? Once more, he sighed. He frowned. He scowled,then sighed again. But suddenly, he brightened. He grabbed his pen,and triumphantly, he scribbled his definitive answer:

4. Available in attractive containers.


Upon returning to her car from a shopping spree, one of a group of young ladies realizes that she has forgotten to stop at the pharmacy for her birth control pills. She rushes into the nearest pharmacy and gives her prescription to the pharmacist.
"I'd appreciate it very much if you could fill this immediately," she says." I've got people waiting in my car!"

Customer Service sucks

At Rogers that is.
Over an hour later I was still sitting on the phone... I spent half my time on hold, and the rest arguing about what I had ordered and what I was being charged for that I didnt' even have.
Most of the conversations were quite repetitive... pretty much following this outline...

RogersLady: Well ma'am, it says here you wanted "..."
Me: Exactly. That's what I wanted.
RL: So what's the problem?
Me: That's not what I got
RL: Are you sure?
Me: Of course I'm sure!
RL: But when you were in Saint John you wanted it...
Me: Aha! So you admit that you know that I don't want it now!
RL: Well... your work order for Saint John said you didn't want it but your work order for Fredericton says you did.
Me: Well you made a mistake.
RL: Well I can take those things off for you then.
Me: Thank you...
RL: That'll go into affect on Sept 30th
Me: And what about what you charged me for this month that I didn' have..?
RL: There's nothing I can do about that.
Me: oh yes there is.
RL: But you ordered it and used it.
Me: Umm, no. First of all, I didnt' order it, I thought we established this already and no I didn't use it because I don't have it!
RL: Oh you mean its not on your cable service... you didn' get the movie and music package?
Me: No.. I didn't. That's why I'm calling. I payed for it yet I never had it and never wanted it in the first place...

I think she got the idea at this point and transfered me to some head honcho customer relations guy who apologized profusely and gave me some discounts for a year. Gah!!

Anyways... gonna go make frogs...

2nd week down...

40 something to go...
Its Sunday... I remember when Sundays as a kid meant lounging around doing nothing of real importance, usually visiting family or something like that. Now, it means catching up on bookloads of work that I should have done earlier in the weekend yet didn't.
Luckily I am somewhat on top of my work so its just regular stuff that needs to be done and I really don't have that much to do, a couple hours and it'll be done. This is my break.
So yeah... week went well. I am going to enjoy all my classes... maybe not the archaeology one but I'll enjoy them all well enough. I've yet to make any friends other than the few people I already know.. but that's okay.
Marie comes back to SJ today. I'm happy. I'm thinking I might head back home for a night next weekend so I can see her. But we'll see how the week goes.
Went to the Metric concert last night. It was good. Too loud and too many people for me to be completely comfortable with it but it was good nonetheless.
So okay... I'm about to watch a football game... (well and do some reading...) figure I might as well expand my sports-watching... so off I go...
Later

Yay! Classes!

So the first two days of classes have been successfully completed. Well, as successful as possible.
Thursday morning I caught the bus in with Dave. We had coffee... well we had "stand-in-line-while-Dave-buys-coffee-and-sit-for-five-minutes". It could have been longer howeever I had forgotten my schedule at the apartment so I had no idea where my class was. So the next few minutes were spent trying to get my wireless connection to work so I could check and find out where my class was. That part of the day was unsuccessful. So I just guessed. My guessing always goes well. I was right! So I went to class, wandered around for a bit between classes to acquaint myself with the new surroundings. Got my haircut after class. And after a huge fiasco of people not being about to find me, I got a cell phone yesterday too. So joy, now I can be reached all the time.
Anyways, watched Freedomland last night. I knew I was gonna like it and I did. Very much. A very enjoyable film, highly recommend it. While on the topic of movies, Children of Men, which (or at least I thought it was) was supposed to be released sometime during the month of september has now been pushed back to December. I'm mad. I wanted to see it, well I still will... just gonna be a bit longer.
Sooo.. I learnt how to play poker last night. Was fun. I beat Dave several times...or maybe it was considered once.. anyways.. he ran out of pennies so I won.
We watched another movie but I slept through most of it. So I went home, now remember that I was going home cause I was falling asleep.. well as soon as I got home I couldn't sleep. So I was still wide awake at 6am... It makes for great frustration.
So I did get some work done. Got some school stuff sorted out and organized. Haven't done any work yet but its organized. And I'm finally unpacked! Well almost, stuff is out of boxes and bags and sorta just strewn around the place.
So I've got most of my textbooks. Well I don't have any for Irish Studies or Women's Studies yet but I haven't even had those classes yet so it'll be okay. Ancient Science is gonna have alot of reading to do (900 pages). Two hundred of those apparently being the most dificult thing we'll ever read in our undergrad so says the prof. Mythology is gonna kill me. I've got 1400 pages to read, like textbook pages I could handle but we're talking all that translated stuff. Oh and I was so happy cause I only have to buy one of the texts cause I already had copies of everything else but the prof is going by page numbers so I'm gonna have to go and get the copies he had the bookstore order.
Philosophy of Law is gonna be fun. I'm unsure of what I think of my prof but I think I'll enjoy him. One of our required texts was a legal dictionary, after the first lecture I discovered why, I had a list of like 15 terms I had never heard of before, and I've watched lots of Law and Order. :)
The other text for that class isn't in yet, its a bunch of Canadian cases or something. I don't know. Should be interesting.
The Greek 3 A's (Art, Architecture and Archaeology - its really hard to say... just try it) should be fun. I'm not sure I like the prof but I can't like em all.
Sooo... that's been my last couple days. There's bit a bit more drama but I'll save you the grief.
I think this year has some potential. My like my classes, I can do well in them, I'm close to friends who I've really missed lately (though far away from a few others). I'm really excited about Habitat and actually being able to be involved. I think this year has potential be a growing time of some sort for me, a chance for me to figure out some stuff and start living some sort of a happy life. I really hope it goes well. And if not, well there's always next year!
Gonna go wash dishes. Later!

Happy Back to School

In 24 hours I am to resume my classes. Joy. Actually the sarcasm isn't true. I am actually really looking forward to getting back to school. A bit anxious bout the whole not knowing anyone thing but quite happy to be getting back to my books and to the whole learning thing.
In these last 24 hours however I still have a million things to do... I still haven't unpacked completely. I still need to pick up a few things for banks and things like that. And make a few phone calls. I still need books too and getting a haircut is on that list too. Sooo.. I'm off to do my always growing list of things to do. I"ll return to tell you all bout my pretty hair and my lovely classes!

Top Ten ways to get guys to watch romantic movies...

or girls who don't like romantic movies...
Not saying these will work though... cause few of them would work withme who does not like romantice movies... but meh. The Movie network's monthly magazine says they will sooo..

10. Remember Lloyd Dobler - John Cusack brought that extra bit of magic to Say Anything.
Meldoy asks: Who's Lloyd Dobler? And why haven't I watched Say Anything yet if its so good?

9. Stay away from Anything that smells like Sex and the City.
Meldoy comments: Unless its making fun of Sex and the City, which though I do enjoy, is too romantic.

8. Leave Hugh Grant out of it.
Meldoy Asks: Who's Hugh Grant? And why are we leaving him out? Is that a little too school-playgroundish?

7. Get the Farrelly Brothers to direct - Think There's Something About Mary
Meldoy agrees.

6. Give everyone a gun - Perfect example: Mr and Mrs. Smith
Meldoy also agrees.

5. Add some kung-fu - Like House of Flying Daggers
Meldoy doesn't know what she thinks... she's unsure. Which by the way, happens very rarely.

6. Add a sci-fi element - The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is achingly romantic and it has a machine that erases memories.
Meldoy says: Yes. I agree. Plus it has Jim Carrey.

5. Lesbians! Lesbians! Lesbians!
Meldoy says: umm... sure..?

4. Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! - Corpse Bride Anyone?
Meldoy says: Sure! (She's sure of this sure) Though never having seen the Corpse Bride...

1. Put some kinky sex in it - Secretary proved to be a spanking good time.
Meldoy asks: Doesn't that make it even more romantic...? But what do I know... I guess...

************************************

Meldoy observes: I can't count... (if anything you will agree on that point)

A week's worth of info all in one post!

Okay... just so everyone knows... you don't make an 800 dollar purchase and five minutes later decided it was a "bad idea" and want to return it! In most cases this act of stupidity would be allowable and wouldn't be too difficult, however when the sales clerk does not have the administrative power to refund such a large purchase, you should not get mad at her. It is not her fault. Most people do not buy a 14 carat gold, diamond and emerald ring and then decide they don't want it. And please don't even mention to the lovely sales clerk that she shouldn't be so snappy when it is indeed you who is being snappy and unreasonable and stupid for wanting to return such an impulse purchase!
As you've probably noticed, I'm working. I am looking at it this way, working these 13 hours this weekend will buy me a textbook.
I got a syllabus today in my email from a prof already... I think I'm gonna like him. I enjoyed his email so I think I'll rather enjoy him as a professor too. The class looks like it shouldn't be too hard, midterm, term paper and exam. Lots of reading though. Not looking forward to that but oh well.
So my weeks of babysitting are over. It was a good experience. Tiring but good. I have come to the conclusion though that I need to be in much better physical health before I can ever have children, and that I don't think I could do the working mom thing.
Also... laywer commercials are hilarious. I spent the last two weeks babysitting a kid that slept from 11-2 everyday, therefore forcing me to watch daytime television, where the only shows worth having my beautiful eyes watch 'em are ones on the American channels. Therefore I get to spend those 4 hours getting a real kick out of the lawyer commerials, with the suspenseful music and the devilish voices of lawyers who will "get you the money you deserve". Please do not let me ever move to the New England are to practice law. Shoot me please. I don't know how these guys can make commerials... listen.. if people need a lawyer they can find a phone book and look one up. They don't need commerials telling them to sue someone. People usually have enough sense or stupidity to do that on their own. And fine, if you insist on commerials, just introduce yourself and give a number. We don't need to sound like a bunch of gangsters or a mob boss of some sort.
My digital camera hates me. Actually most technology does... so I'm feeling really greedy and weird having two computers... sooo.. I've decided... one doesn't work well so I'm gonna put everything on that on my laptop and use my laptop for my desktop.. I can really.. like it just involves unplugging one cord... not a big deal. And then my mom is gonna buy my other one... now I've just got to find someone who can help me take all my stuff off of the desktop and put it onto the laptop... I hear you can do it.. just don't know how.
Well.. I think that's the jist of what I wanted to share for now... I'm gonna go dig up something funny to share. I promise I'll post more often then once a week, specially for those of you who arent' in the same city as me anymore...
Later!

On a sidenote... when did my pads/tampons start wishing me a happy period..? How long has this been going on? And why...? And is there such a thing?
