I'm in love with an older man

But really, who could blame me?
He's smart, successful, well off, talented and not to mention gorgeous. And those are just his good points!
He's an ass, he's sarcastic jerk and he's addicted to pain medication, but it only makes him more loveable.
Yes of course I'm talking bout Hugh Laurie, aka House (its a mix of both peoples, this love is). And for your viewing pleasure... if you watch this lovely slideshow and can still say he's not gorgeous I applaud your resistance to beautifulness.

Roomates Beware! Part 9

~In honor of the much anticipated arrival of Pauline!

Wear your shoes on the wrong feet, all the time. Constantly complain that your feet hurt.

Hit your roommate on the head with a brick. Claim that you were trying to kill a mosquito.

Steal something valuable of your roommate’s. If he/she asks about it, tell him/her that you traded it for some magic beans. Give some beans to your roommate.

Instead of turning off the light switch, smash the light bulb with a hammer. Put a new bulb in the next day. Complain often about the cost of light bulbs.

Videotape yourself hammering a nail into a wall for a while, and then stopping. Play the tape in your room. Right before the hammering stops on the videotape, look at the screen and say, “Don’t do that.”

Buy a lamp. Tell your roommate it’s a magic lamp, with a genie inside it. Spend a week thinking about what to wish for. At the end of the week, report that someone has released the genie from the lamp. Blame your roommate.

Whenever your roommate brushes his/her teeth, watch him/her do so. Take notes. Write a paper on it, and circulate it around campus. If your roommate protests, say, “The people have a right to know!”

Collect potato chips that you think look like famous people. Find one that looks like your roommate. Burn it, and explain, “It had to be done.”

Read the phone book out loud and excitedly (“John Smith! Oh, wow! 837-9494! Holy cow!”)

Shadow box several times a day. One day, walk in looking depressed. If your roommate asks what’s wrong, explain that your shadow can’t box with you anymore due to an injury. Ask your roommate if you can box with his/her shadow.

When you walk into the room, look at your roommate in disgust and yell, “Oh, you’re here!” Walk away yelling and cursing.

Put up flyers around the building, reporting that your roommate is missing. Offer a reward for his/her safe return.

Buy a watermelon. Draw a face on it and give it a name. Ask your roommate if the watermelon can sleep in his/her bed. If your roommate says no, drop the watermelon out the window. Make it look like a suicide. Say nasty things about your roommate at the funeral.

Draw a chalk outline on the floor. When your roommate comes in, say, “Don’t worry. It’s not what you think.” If he/she asks about it again, immediately change the subject.

Drink a cup of coffee every morning. When you finish it, gnaw on the mug for about ten minutes. Then, look at your roommate, immediately put the mug away, and quickly leave the room.

Paint a tunnel on the wall like they do in cartoons. Every day, hit your head as you attempt to crawl through it. Hold your head and grumble, “Stupid road runner....”

Leave memos on your roommate’s bed that say things like, “I know what you did,” and “Don’t think you can fool me.” Sign them in blood.

Hold a raffle, offering your roommate as first prize. If he/she protests, tell him/her that it’s all for charity.

A quick peek at today!

Ok... yes I am doing a miserable job of updating these days. But its hard... I'm working, and I'm sick and a bestest friend just lives next door, but I promise, it'll change!
The people in Fredericton actually use the bike racks on the fronts of the buses. They don't in SJ. Its kinda cool.
This whole being on a top floor is gonna be really hard to get used to... I tend to stomp my feet and drop stuff alot... I've always been on the bottom.... yes... I have.
So I got my living room curtains up... both sets. Only to find that I bought shorter ones when I went back for the second set... so back to Zellers I go...
I don't think my coffee maker (which I bought for 10 dollars) needs a filter thingy... cause there is paper in my coffee...
Went to the university yesterday. Remind me never to do that with a stroller again. That was hell. Anyways, the little guy I babysit came with me obviously, I had to do a few things so yeah, he came too. Well, 3 times someone told me that he was adorable and twice someone said that he looked just like me... okay... no. He doesn't. Cause there is no relation and you are just saying that to be nice. I hope I've never done that before... cause now I feel silly.
The place is shaping up. It looks really good actually. And secretly I do wish it was all mine... but another time. I do really hope this roomate situation works out.
I've been waitin for the second season of House to come out and it finally has. Yay! So Dave and I have been watching bits and pieces of that. Which reminds me of a post I'm gonna have to try and get up soon...
Speaking of Dave, he's great. He's had my laptop now for bout 3 days and he's having fun I think, 'cept for the laptop mouse. He's been downloading some movies I wanted for me cause I'm a little computer dumb and such.
I really need another shelf... or some sort of a dvd and cd rack thingy. Cause they are starting to take up shelf space. I also need to get my stereo fixed. So that I can actually listen to my cd's. Cause if my memory serves me correctly that's what you do with em.
Its too early to be up. On a aturday morning, when for the last week I've been leaving at 7 every morning.
I just emailed Marie to tell her that I realized a good quality trait bout myself. She's been telling me I have to see the good things bout myself and I just realized one. And its most exciting actually.
I'm very frustrated with my mirror... they're were supposed to be predrilled holes in it so I could hang it... but not so much. So I bought those 3M things that are little clicky thingys... but yeah.. they are nearly impossible to line up correctly and once they are one they're most difficult to get off.
Wow... I had missed my music. I need to get this onto my laptop... somehow... I figure using my mp3 player might work... might take a long time but it might work.
My digital camera had me really mad. Its just stopped working. It'll work for a second and then it just freezes. Its almost like its a computer... and then the only way to get it to work again is to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete... or in camera language - take out the battery. I just don't have good look with electronics. Gonna have to find somehwere to take it back to.
Anyways... I gotta get some work done. Later!

From my new hot little city...

Well... here I am. In Fredericton.
I got here Thursday night. After some great help from Dave and a friend of his and then Dad and Alex when we got here. It was warm and very very tiring. I've never sweat like that before. But all when smoothly I think. Didn't have the energy to do much that night so I crashed at Dave's, like just layed down and passed out. I had to get back over here for 7:30 though cause the people were coming to hook up my stuff. So I have telephone number and internet and cable. I spent most of the day unpacking on Friday, then Dave and I got groceries. That was fun. I've always hated grocery shopping alone, makes me feel like I'm gonna have to eat it all or something... I don't know.. some screwed up psychological eating thing I guess. Anyways, we got groceries, then I spent the rest of the evenign unpacking more and getting my computer working.
Yesterday, Saturday was a nice early day. I went to the shopping area to find a few things needed things, I did well. Panicked the whole time, was quite terrified and got considerably more homesick but it went well I guess. Then I came home, apparently a little too late or I could have seen kittens, but oh well. Another time perhaps. So I got ready to go to Susana's for a BBQ, which was fun. Some family was there so that we good and I met the little guy I'm gonna be babysitting, as well as some of the other people who'd like my childcare services. ( I really hope I have the energy for this...)
Then Dave wanted me to go to a house party of a few of the habitat peoples. So I went. Had a good enough time... how I do hope I make some friends. I do very much hate feeling like I'm just sitting on the sidelines watching everyone have a good time... but oh well... this is after all me we're talking bout... its quite unlikely. Was invited to somthing else next weekend so we'll see.
This is difficult for me to complain about cause I know Dave'll read it but whatever, maybe he doesn't check regularly... anyways. Feel like I'm gonna be a wet blanket on anything we do together, cause I don't know anyone well so I'm follow him around and such.
Anyways, back to my past weekend itinerary... came home and watched a couple x-files episodes with Dave, I fell asleep in the last one and now I've no idea what happened. So I came home and went to bed... though I didn't fall asleep until about 5 minutes before my mother called to see when I was going to church and to find out where I was when she called last night at 11. This preceded twenty questions on who I was with, where I was, what I was doing etc... joy.
Yep... so here I am.. I've had bout 3 hours sleep, between the phone calls and the hot and the sick and the terrified to be alone and my cat who is loudly demanding attention and running rampant around the apartment.
I don't like the weather here. Its hot. I think its hotter today when its raining then it was when it was sunny. We had a thunder storm last night and the power was out uptown.. or downtown, whatever they call it here. T'was dark.
Sooo.. today.. I'm gonna get away from here. Turn up my music, and wash some dishes and then bake peanut butter chocolate chip cookies for Dave and perhaps a couple for me.
Tootles.

Last post from SJ

Here it is.. my last post as a saint john resident... but I'll always be a Saint Johner at heart.
I am done work. And my vacation starts...now! 2 days away from Saint John with someone I love, to relax and forget about this crazy life I live.
So yeah.. this is it. I'm away for the next day and then I leave for my new little humble abode on Thursday. I am most excited but a little bit scared too... never been out of the city before. I'm scared about the new city that I don't know thing as well as my mom just not being as close. Yeah I know.. I'll miss her. As much as we don't get along, I'll still miss her.
Sooo.. off I go! I'll let you know how the move goes on Friday! Later!

Sleepless in my bed

Reasons why Meldoy does not sleep:
1) Too busy, too much stuff to do i.e. school
2) Nightmares
3) Too afraid to go to sleep cause of the nightmares
4) Too stubborn to go to sleep cause of the fear of the nightmares
5) worrying or thinking

Last night's reason was number 5... I didn't sleep at all last night cause I was thinking and worrying about the million and one things I need to do before I move. I layed there till daylight, I did fall asleep for a bit then, not long enough howeve before Mom came and woke me up for me to go to work. Its bad... I hate admitting this is one of the reasons I don't sleep but it is, sometimes worse than the nightmare issue. I can usually solve this issue whenI'm living at my own apartment and don' have to worry bout waking anyone up; if I can write the stuff down so I'm bound not to forget the things I can usually fall asleep or if I can actually go and do some of the stuff that will help but last night I couldn't... I couldn't get out of bed cause my grandmother is easily awakened and etc... its horrible.. and I know tonight will be the same.
But there isn' much I can do right now I guess... I just need to get this moving over with. Then I won't be able to sleep cause I'll be too excited.

The Children of Men

I just finished reading the Children of Men by P.D. James a few days ago. I honestly wasn't expecting to enjoy that book as much as I did, I was just reading it so that I could see the movie. Not that I couldn't have seen the movie without having read the book its just that I like to read it first. So yes... was reading it to see the movie and imensely enjoyed it.
It was really good. The characters were very enjoyable and it had so many things that I enjoy in it. It was political, had religious undertones, was suspenseful and sci-fi all in one. Perfect. Even a little romance. The perfect amount. It was a romance but it had some in it. Not too much that made me hate it.
Anyways, I highly recommend it. Unfortunately the movie will do not justice for the book but oh well. Read it! Its good!

No one likes me...

Everybody hates me, nobody loves me. I'm just gonna go to the garden and dig worms... or something like that... I think that song might involve eating 'em too...
My blogs just aren't interesting enough for comments are they...? *sniff* *sob sob*
Anyways... gonna go find something interesting and deserving of comments to post...

I forgot the funniest one!

"Sometimes I just want to call him every name in the book and smash his head in. But I don't."

Some funny things were said at the beach...

Kathryn: "Puts rocks between my toes like they do at the spa!"
Mom: "You've been to the spa?"
Kathryn: "No, but I've seen pictures."

"My 'inappropiate to mention part' hurts."

Kathryn (to the daughter Anna) : "Don't splash me. Liam! Kirk! Marshall! Cardi! What is your name?"
Anna: "Anna?"
Kathryn: "Right! Anna don't splash me!"

Kathryn: "What are you reading?"
Me: "Jane Eyre"
Mom: "Gay men?"
Kathryn: "Oh that's my favorite! I must have read it a 100 times!"
Mom: Really? Gay men? Who wrote it?
Me: "Yeah... I've been wanting to read it for awhile, finally found a cheap copy."
Kathryn: "Good, you'll enjoy it. "
Mom: But Gay Men?"
Kathryn: "I just ignore her sometimes."
Me: "Ditto."

And then the plethora of "My water", "my truck", "my tractor", and "hold me" from this adorable little guy.



All and all a reasonably good day... little less stressed but its definetly still there... anyone want to help me move on Thursday?

Shoot me now

Its been awhile since I posted. This will be short and sweet but it'll have to do till I have the patience to write more.
I'm at Mom's. I'm grumpy. I'm really mad at the fleas and I want to move to my new home NOW. I'm lonely, my famil is driving me crazy and all I want to do is curl up and cry. I'm sick and my thumb hurts.
Did I mention I'm grumpy and full of complaints? Good.
The apartment is still swarming with fleas and all my stuff is still there... except for all my shrunken cloths... and the lost bag that has now been refound.
Everywhere is sold out of fans so the cheapest one I could find is probably not the cheapest one I could have found 3 months ago.
And I will never refinish furniture again.. Its too expensive...
And creepy guys make me really mad... I can't wait to get away from SJ so I can get away from one in particular who I swear follows me around.
Anyways... I'm gonna go be sick and shower cause I feel like there are things crawling all over me... which is quite possible... anyways... later...

Gah

Okay.. I give up. I'm being chased out of my apartment by fleas.... so I'm going! I'm going!
But anyways, I must go pack now. Later!
