Alrighty. The new blog is up. And I"ll send the address to those of you I know who actually read it. The rest of you... well sorry. Unless I know you, you don't get it.
I'll get an update on life on there sometime in the next few days as time provides.
Its been a pleasure, I look forward to enjoying the new one just as much as I did this one!
~Meldoy

Ahhh... Mothers

So the last two days haven't been all that splendid for me on an emotional level. I cornered a few people with my depressing, angry and a bit alcohol induced rants last night and then cried myself to sleep around 7am this morning. I recovered well enough to clean up my apartment today. Watched a couple episodes of Rome with Dave (have I mentioned we're onto season 2? If not... we're onto season 2) and then came home to see a message on the phone from my mother. She wanted me to call. I did.
She spent the whole conversation ranting about the gays and lesbians and their same sex marriage and all that. She ended the conversation with "If get your law degree, which would surprise me, and if you ever support any of that same-sex or abortion stuff, I will disown you. I'm telling you that now, so that you have some warning." Talk about uplifting: glad my mother loves me unconditionally and also so wonderful that she has so much faith in my ability to accomplish my desired career path.
I'm so tempted to tell her I"ve changed my majors too. She absolutely hates my women's studies major. Not a day goes by when she doesn't rant about something or other dealing with pig-headed women who don't know their place or feminists who just want to be able to sleep with whoever they want and kill all their babies. Its frustrating.
Anyways, now that I have something new to fume over I'm going to go read. Night all.

So I have decided to retire the blog, howver as I enjoy writing this very much it will not be the end of my blogging. The new blog will however be much more anonymous and much less a regurgitation of my daily escapades (with any luck at all).
It'll be a little while before its up and running so I'll keep things going on here for a bit longer... however, I need help with my title. I have a few that I like and I'm just looking for some imput. So the following are my tops choices:
Spontaeous Soliloquies Run Amuck
So Long and Thanks for All the Fish
A Cacophany of Miscellany
Delightful Irrelevance
Hunting Socks
Making Chocolate Milk

I work for 5 tomorrow morning... I should be in bed by now... considering just pulling an all-nighter. Yep.. gonna go make some coffee! Later all.

Banks are silly

Why take the NSF fee out of someone when they didn't have the money to pay the cheque/payment in the first place? Doesn't it make sense that they probably wouldn't have the NSF fee? Do they get glee out of making the poor poorer? Cause everyone's who's cheques are bouncing definetly have $35 to throw around!
Gah!

Been a few days...

Nothing too splendid to share... working mostly. Got a day of relaxing in which also involved cleaning my apartment.
That's all to share really... I'm actually considering retiring "Further Adventures of Meldoy's Life". For a few reasons, none that are all that important though.
Anyways, that is all.

NEVER a dull moment!

So I'm home and I made in back in one piece... amazingly enough.
I'm definetly still allergic to insulation that's for sure. Let's just say the Upper River Valley Hospital is quite nice.
New Brunswick is a very beautiful province though, in case you didn't know.

Anyways, I'm pretty pumped up on meds so I'm a bit tipsy and not all there so anything else I say probably won't make much sense, I'll update in a few days!

Hehe...
A customer gave me a pie yesterday! And ten dollars!
Okay.. that's all. Work tonight then leaving early tomorrow morning; I"ll be back Sunday.

Plethora of Stuff

Soo.. I missed the season finale of Bones last week. So I went to download it... well it seems that no one has uploaded that one, every other episode is there except the finale. Frustrates me.
In other TV news... Standoff returns on the 8th of June! And umm... I haven't seen House in 3 weeks... did I miss the season finale?!?
I feel like I've gotten stuff done in the last day or so. Its a good feeling. My list of habitat stuff is dwindling, and I cleaned my apartment from top to bottom.
So my aunt's funeral in on Saturday. So Mom's gonna be picking me up here early Saturday morning and then we'll be staying the night up wherever it is we're going to be on Saturday and coming home on Sunday. It should be the epitomy of the most dysfunctional family ever. With my mother present, my father and his girlfriend (my mother's ex-friend), my father's weird and kinda mean sisters, my grandparents who don't remember me and the rest of the extended family it should be very interesting. I think this would be the perfect time for me to haul out my girlfriend, or my 40-year old boyfriend or maybe some hidden love-child or something. Ohhh.. it'd be great!
I just sent the other Habitat co-chair a 2000 word email... ooops... Perhaps I should divide up my updates next time. Oh well!
Sooo.. I have a second job: Yes I'm possibly crazy. Its the diner one. The lady really needs someone and its good paying and she'll work around my schedule so it should work well and I really need the money.
I told Irving I'd work for them during the school year: what was I thinking? No one I can do that... and get A's and do habitat... shooting myself would probably be more productive.
Anyways... I work 4-12 the next two days... so I should probably get ready for tonight's shift... later all!

Stuff

Its sunny out! Yay!
I'm gonna put on a pretty skirt and go downtown to run errands in a little bit.
Have a few phone calls to make first. One of which is to the Department of Natural Resources; cause they called me for an interview! And another will be to my boss at Irving to tell her that unless some wonderful government job comes along I'll be staying with her for the summer. I've weighed the pros and cons to this for the last several days and since I haven't heard from the call center, my decision was just made even easier. However the pros to Irving: raises every 3 months, a reference (which I really need cause I"m using some really old ones), a really nice boss who's willing to work around my bus schedule and give me a stool to sit on when my back hurts, bursary for school, shifts only as late as 12, high chance of moving up (which she's already doing), looks better on the resume, I actually like it sometimes. And the cons: bothers my back, pay isn't superb, and its just a cashier job.
The call center will cost me alot more money in cabs too; though everyone said I'd make friends and get drives I find that hard to believe cause if ya haven't noticed... I don't make friends. Very easily at least.
Anyways, yeah. I figure she'll be happy. Actually I know she will be. I learnt some new stuff yesterday, stuff that most of the other girl don't learn how to do and next week I"m gonna start learning how to do paperwork so that I"ll have a couple shifts a week where I work in the office and not out front which is really nice.
And hopefully because she's so happy she will be able to give me Friday and possibly Saturday off so I can go to Centerville because my aunt passed away last night. My Dad's sister actually so its kinda close so I need to go. Apparently I was always her favorite so her husband would love to see me there. Not looking forward to dealing with my overly emotional father though (I know where I get it that's for sure).
Anyways, off I go!!

Are you my mother?!?

And you didn't think you'd hear from me in a few days :)

Soooo cute!

Kill me now...

Four hours of work felt like 12... and I feel so gross: definetly showering. I was emptying garbages outside and well one of the bags broke... uggghh... let's just say I hope it was just discolored water.

Small observation. All my coworkers are 15-18, have their own vehicles and have boyfriends: there's something wrong with this picture.

My apartment is messy. Cleaning it will be added to my list of things to do on my day off Wednesday. Along with applying for my security deposit and a long list of habitat stuff that I'd like to get started on. Along with finishing up my curtains so I can get this sheet off my window.

There are a number of other personal and apartment related things I'd like to do however they cannot be done until bills are caught up. So in other words.. it'll be another month or so, longer if I end up staying at Irving full time all summer.

Alrighty, that's my update for the last few and next few days. You shall hear from me later on when I have something worthwhile to share.

A small observation

Ok..maybe not so small.
I've said many times, especially to my mother, that I'd have no problem being single the rest of my life.
That's not true. Definetly not true.
Will probably happen but I won't be as content with it as I make it seem.

That's all.

I do not like the 4-12 shift at work. I could deal if I wasnt' alone for half of it but I am.
Some guy came in around 11 or so... "Aren't you scared being here by yourself?" I looked at him: "Thanks, I wasn't till you mentioned it." He was one of the cab drivers, said he'd keep an eye on me whenever he went by.
All in all its not that bad. It is however really difficult to get a cab home at 12:30 on a Saturday night. I didn't get home till 1:30. I stood outside cause when I was inside people kept thinking we were still open and that was getting annoying, so outside it was. Luckily it was nice out. One of the tow truck drivers that always comes by came and waited with me; was nice to have company.
I have today off! And I don't work till 4 on Monday. So its a nice little break.
Watched Pan's Labyrinth when I got home. I think I"d heard that people thought that was a children's movie... definetly not. I however, really liked it.
Anyways, today I do some job applying. Yep. Still doing that. I can't just work at Irving, if only cause my back can't handle it. And its not enough money. Not if I'm gonna stay here by myself during the school year: which is my plan. And I can't work more than one shift a week during the school year, though I doubt I can even do that.
So yeah... got some to apply for and we'll see how that goes.
And I gotta clean.
So off I go!

Not so fun Learning Experiences

Okay, so no one told me I needed to apply to get my security deposit back!
Gahhh...
And bills are piling up and places are threatening to turn things off.
However, for some reason... Rogers is not charging me for Internet and Cable this month. Which is odd. I'd correct them except $40 is much nicer than $120, so I"ll just keep quiet about it for now.
Anyways, I work tonight till 12. So I've gotta go eat and such. Later.

This will be short as my back does not allow me to sit long before I become nauseaus because of the pain.
Work went okay this morning. I didn't actually sleep last night so I was already up when it was time to leave at 5 bloody o'clock in the morning. I don't like going to work in the dark. But oh well, I "learnt" alot though... no guarantees I'll remember it all but I"ll try. I even learnt how to measure how much fuel is in the truck gasser-uppers.
I'm beginning to compile a list of pick-ups I've heard in the last few days, I'll wait until I have some more. Trust me, some of 'em are doozies.
I'm in a horrible mood these days... not sure if it just cause I'm lonely or bored or what... but its horrible and I'm taking it out on Jack which just makes me feel really bad but I don't care enough to do anything about it. Oh I'm a mean mean pet owner
Anyways, I'm going to vegetate this evening.. while on my tylenol 3 and strong muscle relaxants... hopefully it'll help. Tomorrow involves errands and call center info sessions. Ooo and coffee with Jeff. So yay for friends. Anyways... calling my mother calls... Later all!

Another day, another dolla... or two

My back hates this job.
Ever just get this sudden feeling of utter emotional agony and have no idea why? And it not go away either forcing you into this dark and really sad mood that just won't lift? I hope so... cause umm... I don't want to be the only one.
I'm not so sure I like my coworkers. Okay, that's a lie; I like the daytime people for sure, they're older women, however the evening ones are a bunch of high school kids. Not exactly my favorite as I'm sure you know. It should be interesting.
In funner news, there are a some really good looking people who come in. Everyday. :)Only problem being that I"m pretty sure there's an age difference... of quite a bit. But oh well, nothing wrong with having some fun with it. I'll consider age differences if its necessary and then only if I really care. :)
I got a drive home today. That was good, since I"d missed my bus. But I got an extra couple hours in so that's good.
Tomorrow morning is my 5:30 shift... I'm not so sure I'm looking forward to that. Anyways, gonna go now since I need to be up in about 11 hours... leaving me with about 4 or so before I need to go to bed and try to fall asleep...

Hi Ho, Hi Ho...

Ahhh... work.
Today was long, I actually worked worked, last friday was more just a bunch of reading I had to do so I didn't actually get to do much. Today however... some observations:
1) The whole fresh coffee keeps one hopping especially at 8 in the morning.
2) Men and their bathrooms are absolutely disgusting.
3) I seem to have forgotten any knowledge I had of cigarettes from Co-op. Hopefully I will remember quickly, though I think they've changed some packages.
4) Smokers are very ignorant of non-smokers. They just rattle off what they want expecting you to know exactly what it is they want. And then you just stare at them blankly and ask them to point to where it is on the shelf.
5) Truck drivers frustrate me. I don't mind the flirting with me, its the expectation that I will flirt back and that if I don't there must be something wrong with me.
6) Apparently the bus comes earlier when it comes at 8; I missed it.
7) My boss is really nice when it comes to scheduling my shifts around bus schedules so I don't have to spend a bundle on cabs.
8) She wasn't so nice when she made me cut up 5 onions today and laughed while I cried.

Overall it was a good day. I think I'll enjoy the job, less the 5:30am shifts, especially because its busy. There's always a steady stream of people getting gas and always coffee or hotdogs or something to be made. Its nice. I will admit I'm a bit nervous about working till 12 by myself but I guess we'll see how it goes, right?
I have one set of my curtains all sewn... or at least my version of sewn so I get to hang them.
Let me leave you with a comic that I really really enjoyed. Still chuckling actually.

And it starts...

Well.. home from SJ. I must admit it was a hard weekend, and I'd rather not discuss it here until I've had a few good cries.
However, SJ's getting a Starbucks! I'm impressed.
Pretty green looks really good on me.
I just sewed up one of my curtains so it would fit my window. I was told it was a very "zen" experience... aside from the blood and the horrible job it; it was actually kinda fun. Though I think my cat could have done a better job of it and believe me he did try. Don't try and sew around your cat who's been alone for 2 days.
I work the next three days, two of those days I start at 5:30. That's early.
But it'll be fun, by far my favorite part of a job is the learning part of it. I do enjoy the training etc.
I'm only 3 episodes away from finishing Season 1 of Stargate SG-1. Which is exciting. Then I gotta finish up the first season of the X-Files.
Anyways, since I work tomorrow early I'm going to head to bed. Night!

Apparently one year older!

YAY!
Yesterday was good. No one died making it even better. I did really well yesterday just trying to forget about Papa; today however I am not doing so well. Hopefully it will pass but I know it'll just get worse the closer I get to home where he isn't.
However, it was a good birthday. Last night was most enjoyable. Realized that I either need more friends, or need to just quit forming friendships so that when a friend potentially leaves I don't feel like my whole word is caving in. Cause umm... not a good feeling. At all.
Anyways, now that all good feelings are gone... Mr. Tortoise is adorable. I had no idea they could move so fast. And what's with the cats?! Its just a turtle! And he likes you!
My apartment is cleaned up as best as it will get and I'm heading home for the next day or so, but I shall return to work as your customer service at Irving!

Update on various situations

Its been a few days!
The job I'd been talking about I didn't get. However, I did another. Not sure if I'm going to stay there or not. Its an Irving Mainway, so it'd just be a cashier kind of job.
I've gotten a few other phone calls though, one of which I'll be sure to follow up on cause it'll involve more money.
Other than that life's not too exciting. Had Jeff and Dave for supper last night... well... I didn't *have* them... they were over for supper. Anyways, that was fun. I enjoyed cooking for people other than me and it was just nice to have company.
I bought curtains today. I hope they work like I want them too.
Anyways, in less than 5 hours I'm going to be 20! Yay!
That's really all I have to say. So umm... later I guess!

Snobby Cats, Lack of Employment and various types of messages...

I might have a job. Though I've said that before. Unfortunately If I get it, I have to work on my birthday... *sniff*... Only till 9pm though, so that's not so bad.

Jack's mad at me for locking him out of the kitchen cupboard. Cats are such snobs.

He's getting back at me by spilling his water everywhere! And then proceeding to walk on my lap with his wet paws.

I'm unpacked! I'm having trouble deciding where to put some stuff in my living room. Gonna need to ask some opinions.

I can't figure out how to change the greeting on my answering machine and I"ve lost the instruction manual. So for now... "Please Leave Your Message After the Beep" in the deep male voice it will have to be.

I was just sending a facebook message to.. let's say Mark and Cecil. However, I have more than one Marks in my facebook. So when typing in Mark, I just let it finish for me and didn't check to see which Mark it sent it to. Well, not the right one. So Mark who I haven't seen in years just got a facebook message with the subject line: Supper!!! and an invite to my place for dinner on Wednesday.
Yeah, I'm good.

Anywhoo, off I go.

Book! Book! Book!

I think there's a joke or something about a chicken that says book, book, book...
Anyways...

There's a book I want to buy/read. Its the story of Robin Hood, retold. By Stephen R. Lawhead, one of who's books I'm currently reading. Yes. I've gotten back into it. Yay!
Anyways, yeah. Its called Hood. And it sounds like it would be really enjoyable. So... as soon as I get a paycheck! Woo!
I also want the From Eve to Dawn: A History of Women, Volumes I and II. I have a the third already and the best part of these ones is that they are always in the Bargain books. I"m just gonna watch for them everytime I frequent chapters this summer.

I also want to read some stuff by Edgar Allen Poe, I base this on the fact that the one thing I did read of his (not knowning that's who wrote it) was one of my favorite short stories in high school english.
However, on my list to read for the summer... (and I swear to read everyone of these!)

Mirror Mirror by Gregory Maguire
The Fifth Life of the Cat Woman by Kathleen Dexter
Creation by Katherine Govier
Martin Sloane by Micheal Redhill
The War of the Crowns by Christian Jacq
Green Grass Running Water by Thomas King
The Great Indoors by Sabine Durant
Life of Pi by Yann Martel
Once and Future King by T.H. White
A Bird in the House by Margaret Lawrence
Paradise Piece by Piece by Molly Peacock
The Black Rood and the Mystic Rose by Stephen R. Lawhead.
The Hobbit by J.R. Tolkien
Till We Have Faces, Perelandra and That Hideous Strength by C.S. Lewis

Most of these I own. Excitedly enough, those I don't I can buy with the giftcard from Chapters I have coming because I've used my visa too much. :)
I figure that's not too big of a list for me to read... I"ll let ya know how it goes.
Anyways, gonna go clean. Later!!

In Sci Fi News...

The top 25 Sci Fi Movies and TV Shows in the last 25 years is up.
The Matrix made number one, the XFiles number four and Firefly (!!) made Fifteenth. I'm disappointed that Stargate SG 1 didn't make the list but oh well.

Meldoy needs a job. Cause she's really really bored.

Dr. James Wilson - Your phone bill arrived at my apartment. Feel free to pick it up anytime!

Thank you Dave, I'm now officially stressed about what I'm going to do career wise.

My back = very very sore.

Today I finish the unpacking and I vacuum and possibly put up a few pictures etc.

That's all for now: I'm going back to bed for a bit.

Morning!

Its morning. And I'm up. As usual. I'm all caught up on sleep it seems, after that good 17 hours I got on Monday night/Tuesday.
So yep. The apartment remains a mess. Gonna tackle my books today. Actually I'm going to try and get most of the unpacking done today, just cause I don't know what I"ll be up to in the next few days and I hate coming home to this. Plus I promised myself I could decorate after I unpacked. And I want to decorate!!!

Soo.. it appears that I didn't get the job I interview for yesterday, cause I think she would have called me already. The deal was if I got it and if she called me last night (which she didn't) I"d be starting work today. And if she didn't have time or have her person chosen by last night she'd call today and I"m start tonight. I really hope she's not gonna call me at like 2pm to say I have to work at 5. Especially where I need to buy black pants before I can work.

Was going to go out job hunting downtown (I did the mall yesterday) but I decided to put it off till tomorrow, mostly so I can be here to answer the phone if anyone calls about the many applications I dropped off yesterday.

So Dave and I have been watching the Lord of the Rings. I'm really enjoying them. I have to admit: the first time I saw them I really didn't like them, but that was like 5 years ago and I'd never actually gotten to see the third one. However, now, I'm really enjoying them. I very much enjoy Gimly, but actually I think I like all the characters soo..
Tonight however, we're putting Lord of the Rings 3 on hold so I can see the first two Spiderman movies. I think I might have seen parts of the first but I've definetly never seen the second and probably most of the first so yeah... catching up so we can see it tomorrow night with one of the Habitat girls. Should be fun.

There are little ledges under the windows in my bedroom and living room and Jack loves them, he's so cute though, cause he backs up on them since theres not enough room to turn around. He's need a little backup light and beeper.
He's also really enjoying the futon thing. I don't know, probably cause its black and shows all his fur but whenever I"m sitting at the computer he's running back and forth on it, all hyper and such. So its covered in his fur and little white pawprints... I assume he runs on it after he gets out of the litterbox. Ok.. and he just came up through the back of the computer desk onto the keyboard tray. *sigh...* Crazy cat. Gotta get something to cover the couch soon cause the furry mess is driving me crazy.

Anyways, okay. Gonna go shower and such and then unpack more! Later all!

Wee bits from my day

You know you have no life when you get excited over the transit system's new bus (but it was blue!!)

I didn't get the job I wanted.

Working as a waitress would be a bad idea I think...

That's it I guess....

Meldoy's Advice of the Day

Don't throw random things in a box and then label the box "stuff" and then expect to know what's in the box by looking at the label.

Ouch...

I don't think there is one part of my body that does not hurt. How can moving be so painful you might ask? Well let me tell you... Meldoy is stubborn and does not wish to burden people by asking for moving help so she tries to do most of it herself. Bad idea. Also, the bottom step is really steep and every time I stepped off it (an average of 75 to 100 times in the last two days) I would go over on my ankle. My ankle needs to be iced, as it is very swollen and very sore. Next: I fall alot. Enough said. I also tend to lift stuff I shouldnt' and I probably don't do it right either making it even harder on my body.
So yeah... I'm moved in. I'm happy about it. I want everything to be unpacked now though. Mostly cause I'm missing alot of stuff and need it but don't want to go rooting. So I'm just going to live without it tonight and then try and unpack almost everything tomorrow.
Got my cable hooked up but I've only got like 2 channels, which means I'm missing Drive and House. I'm not sure if its just a mistake in how stuff's hooked up or if its a mistake on the part of Rogers. Oh well, I'll call tomorrow.
The family visited this evening. Its been awhile since we were all together like that, it was odd. Mom and Dad acted pretty much like they would have when they were married, that was weird. I love my family members seperately but together... oh dear.
Dad got me a futony thing for my birthday gift. And mom gave me a vacuum. I love getting practical stuff for gifts. My birthday's coming up. Which is exciting, cause I don't know why... I just look forward to not being a teenager anymore. Planning on making Dave do something with me that day. Just so I can say I did something on my birthday.
Anyways, I think I'm going to go shower, then ice my ankle and maybe watch some xfiles before collapsing into my bed for a good 12 hours at least. Soo... Night!

heh heh
Gotta love calling someone else's apartment "our place". It was in an email, so I'll just assume I forgot the "y". *sigh...*
Ok. Back to the transportation of boxes.

You know you're Catholic if...

You have your own designated seat for Mass.
You think a missal is a book and not ammunition
You genuflect upon entering Saint Paul's Cathedral in London (just out of habit)
You think "trespass" refers to something other than stepping on someone's lawn
You don't drink the holy water
You don't think of Mormons when you hear the word "tabernacle"
Someone says the Cardinals are flying to LA, you think: "Law, Keeler..."
You hear "14 stations" you don't think of tv
You know that CCD isn't some new recording technology term.
You know that John Paul isn't half of the Beatles.
The term "Father's stole" doesn't mean your dad's were thieves.
When someone asks "Is the Pope a Catholic?" you respond, "The last time I checked."
You sneeze, someone says "bless you" and you automatically make the sign of the cross.
You know the rosary is NOT a piece of jewelry
You only crave hamburgers and steaks on Fridays during lent and you crave fish every other day in Lent...just never on Fridays.
You make the sign of the cross when you hear a firetruck or ambulance
When Yoda says “May the force be with you”, you have an overwhelming compulsion to say "And also with you."

50% moved!!

My "stuff" is in the new apartment. Well it will be once I move the last few boxes.
Then all that's left is furniture and my books.
Furniture is going to be interesting. I can move almost all of it but there are somethings that I'm going to be absolutely no good for... so I"m gonna wait for Dad and Mom to get here tomorrow night.
I've even already unpacked some stuff! Yay!!
Anyways, I'll post after I finish up moving completely.

Life Sucks

To a few of you a few weeks ago I was giggling about a friend who was pregnant. Today she had a miscarriage. It sucks. Beware anyone who hugs me in the next little while, I'll probably cry.
In good news, went out last night and had a really good time. Just chatted with people who's company I enjoy for most of the evenign and it was fun. Apparently we're going to do something similar for my birthday, which I really like the idea of.
I move tomorrow. Which is nice. I'll be glad to get it over with.
Anyways, gotta clean and then we're going to a movie. Soo.. later all.

Marks are in!

And I'm not impressed.
Oh I did well. But it didn't bring my GPA at all. I only went up .2 and that sucks cause there's no way I'll get it up to a 3.7 by the end of next year. I don't even thing ten A+'s would do it.
Gahh... anyways. Yeah. I'm happy with the marks.Very happy actually, I'm just not happy that it didn't bring my GPA up. But oh well. The marks are good. Imagine how well I could do if I worked my butt off all term and not just in the 12 hours proceeding the exam. ;)

Carrot

Joanna pointed out "carrot" is more than just an orange pointy vegetable.

- something hoped for or promised as a lure or incentive: To boost productivity, leaders hinted at the carrot of subsidized housing for the workers.

I just dropped an olive on the floor... and the red part fell out. :(
Oh god, I need a life.

Day with nothing to do! YAY!

Meldoy has been indulging her organizational side by making lists. I've had a few on the go but they were messy and some of the stuff was done. So I organized them all. This means I'm in the process of making another "To Read This Summer" list. Hopefully it'll go better than last year's. Cause I might have read 5 of that list.
I need to reformat some of my blog in looking back for that list. Some stuff is invisible unless you highlight it. Eh. Oh well.
So I think I should probably pack.
I can start moving in day after tomorrow and all I have packed are my movies... that's pathetic.
Pauline's not home this afternoon, she's at the university studying. I'm listening to music and singing. Its been soooo long since I could sing along.
Anyways, okay. Going to pack. Later all.

Excitment.

Got my paper mark back and one class mark back!
Got a B+ on my Philosophy of Law Paper, and a B+ overall in the class. I"d kinda been hoping for an A- but oh well.
I've noticed something when it comes to my papers. All term, I've gotten a B+ on all of them except one. And try as I might I can never seem to get any higher. Its frustrating.
And more on the good news side of things. I've got an job interview on Thursday. Great job with the government. Pays like $14 an hour, Monday to Friday, 9-5. Oh, I really really want it. Sooo.. hopefully I'll do well in the interview! Anyways, food and House call. Later.

Almost Done!

Wrote my history exam this morning. I think I've read books shorter than what I wrote for that. Three and half of those nice booklets, single spaced, both sides of the page... that's like what 20 pages?! Worst part is it probably wasn't very well done.
However, I'm done. Just need to finish this paper, find a friend who isn't studying for exams to read it for me and then I'll be done.
Soo... I'm at 1169. It has to be at least 2700, but no more than 4000. I think I'll be closer to the 4000 mark, cause I'm only moving onto my second argument now. At least I'm not worried about not having enough to say. That's a bit of a relief.

12:35pm - 1230 words. And according to Microsoft Word, "Carrot" is a synonym for "inducement". Note to self: do not rely on Microsoft's thesaurus anymore.

1:54pm - Still at 1230 words. But I'm home now. And I'm gonna eat and run a couple last minute moving errands with Pauline. Then I'll be back to work on the paper.

4:33pm - I have strawberries. And now I'm going to go outside and work on my paper.

6:04pm - 1753 words. Its absolutely gorgeous. Decided to come in when my legs started to fall asleep and the wind kept blowing my pages away, after I kicked a ball around with a couple kids for a bit.

7:34pm - I haven't gotten back to the paper yet. Had hotdogs.. well veggie dogs. And I've been just sitting here. I'm not too worried about it cause I know I've got lots of time tonight, though I do need to be up at a reasonable time cause I've got a meeting tomorrow but still. Got lots of time.

8:35pm - 1850 words. I'm really not getting very far very fast am I? Well I"ve got 25 minutes before Drive and 24 come on. So... lets get to 2000. I'm actually running out of stuff to say, so I might actually only write 2500. But we'll see.

10:30pm - 2081 words. I've watched Drive, I like that show. Now we're into 24. Its kinda cool to be caught up, except we have to deal with the commericals and the week by week wait.

11:28pm - I hate footnoting. Especially when its something I don't know how to do, like say... lega citation. Dave says he has a book or something that might be helpful... not sure if I care enough right now though... I just want it to be over.

12:19pm - 3208 words. Okay. I'm done. My footnotes suck but I"m hoping he'll accept them as good enough. The apartment is very very warm. I don't like it. At all.
Anyways, I'm going to submit the paper and then go to bed. Haven't gotten a ton of sleep the last few days, except when I shouldn't have ben sleeping so I'm going to sleep tonight and attempt to make a meeting ontime tomorrow. Later all.

1:01am - One quick comment. My prof replied to my email in which I sent him my paper within at least a minute. This man is the speedy gonzalaz of answering emails. Its crazy. Okay. Bed now.

So much for getting any work done last night. Was definetly in no state to work when I got home. So I just went to bed. After walking into my night table - my thigh really hurts, that's gonna be an unpleasant bruise in a couple days.
But I had fun, we went somewhere we hadn't been before and I really liked it. Prefered the music to what the other place normally plays. So it was semi-worth it.
So yeah... now its time to work.

Apparently I say things about sex and close friends when intoxicated... this could be bad... especially when I don't remember the conversation... I really don't think I'm in any shape to work on a paper or study right now, plus I've got the hiccups. Sooo... I"m just going to go to bed. Later all. Sleep well, peaceful and deep.

Evening Activities

Despite my colossal lack of time, I'm going out tonight cause I promised I would. So... the plan is to leave in a few minutes, and then be back here by two so that I can work on my paper and study for my exam from then through till Monday morning when I'll write my last exam and then spend the afternoon finishing my paper. This means that I won't get to drink much tonight which is okay. Though apparently since I sober up pretty fast it'll be okay for me to drink alot, or so Melissa says. I'm gonna not go for that just in case tonight is different. Anywhoo, I must find something to wear. Have a good night everyone.

Got my seminar mark back - B+! I'm happy with that.
Not so happy with the fact that my prof wants my paper now. Kinda screws up my studying for Monday's exam, but oh well.
Its sunny and warm out. I like it.

Just finished watched the 2nd and 3rd episode of Drive. Sometimes, I'm not very girly... I'm very much enjoying the racing cars.
Some parts remind me of the driving on the H4H trip this year...

Noooo!!!

So my psyc exam went very well. That was good.
Unfortunately I may not be able to take both of my majors. Which poses a slight problem. Cause I'd have to decide which to drop and then I'd have to get another cause both of those two need to be part of a double major. Which is a problem, cause I don't know what to do and no matter what I do, it will require my spending more time on my undergrad cause I don't have more of anything so I"d have to start from scratch. However, I might be able to do the majors I have chosen, I'll know as soon as the Dean's office gets back to me. I'm scared...
Also though, my marks could very possibly be high enough for a joint honors in my two areas. Which is exciting, cause I'd wanted to but had been unsure of the marks situation. I'd only have to write a thesis in Womens Studies... what on though? I'm not sure.. I'll be thinking about that for the summer (provided I get good marks this term and can do it), any suggestions??
Anyways... gonna go have food I think. Later.

And that's why they invented alarm clocks...

Last week, we attempted to get together to change the names on the Habitat bank account, two of us never showed up. Today, I was the one who didn't show. I, the one who was reminding people yesterday, slept in. Oh and worst part is, it wasn't like it was a 9am appointment I missed, it was at 1pm! I was up at 7am and though, I'd nap for a couple hours, this is me, I didn't expect I was gonna sleep for another 6 hours. But I did. I must say I got there pretty fast however, and things are now signed over. My sincerest apologies, I feel horrible about it. That's not something I'd do, I don't miss meetings, I'm rarely even late. Yeah... well I definetly won't be sleeping tonight, for fear that I'll sleep through my 9am exam.
Speaking of my 9am exam... Child psychology. Tonight will be spent learning it. Cause I don't know anything.
In other news, Fox has started a new series entitled Drive. I'd seen ads for it for a while now and I had planned on watching it, I was out the night it premiered so I downloaded the episodes, saw the first last night. I really like it. Especially this guy, obviously.
Anyways, Okay... study time. Tootles.

Study Dilemna etc

Studying and I don't get along. For a couple reasons. 1) I can't concentrate, at all, ever. This is partly cause I haven't been taking my meds and partly just one of my character flaws... or mental instabilities, which ever. And 2) I don't need to study to pull off a decent mark. Ironically, the exams I've done the most studying for have been the ones I've done horribly on (i.e. Myth last term - lots of studying, and I failed it). This may not seem like a problem but it is cause I said decent mark, not superb marks, I want superb marks yet I don't study... and therefore only get decent marks. Anyways, gonna change that for my next couple exams. With that A+ paper in psyc, I know if I do well on the exam I can do really well overall in the class and that's what I want soo.. gonna study alot.
And therefore only a few more things before I go off to study for as long as I can before I become distracted or pre-occupied with something.
Its wet out. And puddles annoy me when they're too big for me to jump over.
I did not get sleep last night, the last few nights I"ve slept really well but I knew it wouldn't last long and of course all it took was some crazy person to kill a bunch of people. Hate to admit it but I cried over it most of the night ... I'm overly sensitive sometimes, especially to this so far away from me.
Jack likes my feet. Like to rub his head, he doesn't mind if I use my foot. If I'd done that with Willow she would have thought it was a sign for her to attack the foot, Jack on the other hand likes it. Which is good, means I can multitask, wash dishes AND make the cat happy.
I packed a bit last night. Going to pack up some kitchen stuff tonight during my study break.
Oh and according to a creepy guy on facebook, I have a girl next door kind of look, yet I"m sexy... great. Amusing thing is, the more prominent face on my profile picture is actually of Melissa, so its unlikely he's even talking about me. So I changed my picture to one that's just me - If I'm gonna get compliments, they might as well actually be about me.
I got invited out for a girl's pizza night... with a bunch of people much older than me... not that I mind, I prefer it but its cool. Unfortunately, I think I'm going to have to pass. Seeing as I'd have to leave right now, which means getting dressed again and cause I really should study tonight... which is frustrating cause I'd really like to go.. grr...
Anyways, back to work. Later all.

Okay... Usually I'm not one to have world events bother me. And usually I"m pretty hard hearted and a bit cold about stuff... but every once in awhile something gets me and of course when it does it really really upsets me.
But currently I am fighting back tears as I watch the news special about the shooting in Virginia. I don't really have anything to say, cause I don't know what to say. Yeah... soo... umm... yeah.

In an attempt to feel better and stop crying, I found cute animals...

So I've realized I have a problem, a slight dilemna, actually its kinda big. But I have an even more complicated problem in that I can't talk to anyone about it. And even though I'm often hesistant to share things with people, I do often need to talk to someone to work through something. Unfortunately because this situation actually involves someone else I can't talk to anyone about it. So I'm going to attempt to work through it here... without anyone knowing what I'm talking about. ;)
I've been thinking about this for a few months now and its only starting to become an issue now. Which is good, cause I didn't think I'd be able to hold off on dealing with it this long. So now the time to deal with it is here and I don't know how...
The biggest problem being, no matter how I deal with it... I'm going to be left in a not-so-great state emotionally. Actually, I'll be left pretty miserably to be completely accurate. And I don't really know if I'm up for that right, but if I wait much longer its just going to be even bigger of a deal and leave me hurt even more.
So what do I do to fix it now? See... its actually not something that should need to be fixed.. that's what makes it worse. But it really is a problem for me. The only real option for fixing it is something I really really really don't want to do... cause once again.. it'll hurt a bit.
Gah.. Okay. Reading that probably left your brains hurting... so yeah... just... think of me? Please?
So yeah.. guess that's my rant... thanks for reading... Night all. Hope your lives aren't as complicated as mine.

Law Schools?

Pauline, Melissa and I were discussing after undergrad plans... they have back up plans... I don't and this is a problem.. cause the likelihood of my getting what I want is slim.
But that doesnt' stop me from dreaming right?
University of Victoria seems kinda nice. Tuition isn't nearly as bad as I expected. Though cost of living is a bit pricey. And I don't think Jack would appreciate the drive.
Carleton's website is horrendous... and Melissa says to not go there so I've stopped looking.
Dalhousie would be nice and close but... eh... I don't know. Don't really like the idea. That and their website wont' give me tuition cost and that ticks me off.
McGill... will never let me in. Although theirs is a double degree, in both civil and common law. Takes an extra semester but that'd be really neat.
University of Toronto... Holy cow! That's expensive!!! And that's because its a graduate program.. to do after your LLB.. I think. Anyways, tuition puts that one out anyways.
Western seems nice too. I like that one.
Ottawa's website won't let me look so I automatically don't like them.
But I think out of all them all, I'd prefer to stay here...

Doomed

I'm supposed to write an exam in 1.5 hours. The little reading I've done for the exam definetly doesn't constitute as studying. My head is pounding, my sinuses hurt and my chest is hurting from all the coughing. Remember that cold about a month back? It doesn't come close to comparing to this one. But oh well. I'll survive I suppose. Gonna try and have some soup before leaving. Later.

Things I hate about colds

the red nose
my glasses on my nose when its stuffed up
runny noses

Actually... I just hate my nose right now.

Stuff

Meldoy apologizes for telling gross stories. She'll never do it again... this week at least.

I am sick. Very miserably sick. This is not good.

Jack is annoying me.

I don't like university students, they bug me alot. Especially when there are many of them in one place drunk.

I have to go work, even though all I want to do is go back to bed. But I can't.

Embarrasing Story of the Day

Unfortunately its really only embarrasing when I share, cause if I didn't share, no one would ever know. But hey, this is "Adventures" of my life. Gotta fulfill that title every once in awhile.
So, I've gotten into the habit of putting my bank or id card into the back pocket of my jeans, this works fine except when I'm wearing the pair of jeans I wore today because the back pocket of my jeans are not as deep as most. Anyways, so I put my bank card there when I got lunch today. And then I forgot about it.
So I went to class, after class I had to use the washroom, so I did my business and as I'm turning around to flush the toilet there's my bankcard flushing. I was not impressed, not know what to do because I didn't want it to get stuck in the toilet and if I left it when they fished it out they'd know it was mine because my name's on the back! So I reached in and grabbed it. So disgusting. I was not impressed. Luckily there was no one in the bathroom at the timem, so no one to question why my hand and my bank card were all wet.
Gahh.. that's my day. But in better news. I got an A+ on my psyc paper (98%!!) and a B- on my History one and a B+ on my psyc paper. YAY! Gotta get my GPA up so law school will let me in!
Anyways, gotta finish up an assignment. Night!

I'm procrastinating... again.

The Universe Conspires Against Me

You need better vision then I have for admittance into police academies. My childhood (and some current) dreams are officially crushed.

In other news, the TV show on NBC entitled "Thank God You're Here" - very amusing.

Started my seminar today. After spilling my hot chocolate twice. *sigh*

Busy Day

I've gotten lots done today. Yet I'm still very very unsure of my seminar... and quite stressed over it.
But I got groceries.
And did 3 loads of wash (had abosolutely no clean clothes!)
Cleaned my room
Washed dishes

I thought about cleaning the bathroom and cleaning my room, but I didn't.
That'll be tomorrow. As well as the beginnings of some packing.

But for now, I must go stress over my seminar some more. I've got all night, especialy since I won't be sleeping. I'll let ya know how it goes!

Long Weekend!

The beginning of a long weekend. Yay!
Unfortunately I have alot of work to do.
But I'm taking it home with me.
Oh, yeah, I'm going home.
Just till Sunday night.
Cause I have a lot of work to do.
Like I said.
I don't know why I'm writing like this.
Oh well.
Happy Easter all.

My apologies

When I deal with things, I deal in funny, odd, and twisted ways. And I think I can offend people in the process. So yeah, this is my apology to anyone who I've said something to the effect of "You'll forget about me eventually and not even know I exist anymore", there are a couple of you specifically to whom I've said this. And I apologise. I realize it probably insinuates that I think little of your frienship for me, and of your overall friendshippy-ness in general. And that's not true. Its just my way of dealing, somehow it makes me feel better to know that if someone moves away or we fall out of contact that they've forgotten about me completely or are moving away or not keeping in contact because of me or something I've done. Like, I said: twisted and its not a good way of dealing I realize that and I'm sorry if anything I've said has upset anyone. Believe me when I say I don't want anyone to move away or lose contact with anyone.
So yeah, Sorry. Just my way of dealing, unfortunately I've yet to discover any way (either good or bad) of dealing with this darn seminar, which I need to get back to working on.

Procrastinator Extraordinaire

So following the lead of Dave, I did a personality test. I hate these things cause either I don't understand the questions and answer them wrong or they just never get me right but one of these things describes my personality.. or maybe it does and I just don't know my own personality.
Anyways, I did the test, one question had two answers for me. So the first time I used one, and then the other. So I have two. Which if you combine parts of them they do make what seems to be me. So I'm.. INTJ- "The Mastermind" apparently and ISFJ. Gotta love how different those are.
Anyways, from the INTJ, what actually in my mind applies to me:
INTJs are perfectionists, with a seemingly endless capacity for improving upon anything that takes their interest.
Personal relationships, particularly romantic ones, can be the INTJ's Achilles heel. While they are capable of caring deeply for others (usually a select few), and are willing to spend a great deal of time and effort on a relationship, the knowledge and self-confidence that make them so successful in other areas can suddenly abandon or mislead them in interpersonal situations. This happens in part because many INTJs do not readily grasp the social rituals; for instance, they tend to have little patience and less understanding of such things as small talk and flirtation (which most types consider half the fun of a relationship). To complicate matters, INTJs are usually extremely private people, and can often be naturally impassive as well, which makes them easy to misread and misunderstand. Perhaps the most fundamental problem, however, is that INTJs really want people to make sense. :-) This sometimes results in a peculiar naivete', paralleling that of many Fs -- only instead of expecting inexhaustible affection and empathy from a romantic relationship, the INTJ will expect inexhaustible reasonability and directness.


Now the ISFJ in me:
ISFJs are characterized above all by their desire to serve others, their "need to be needed." In extreme cases, this need is so strong that standard give-and-take relationships are deeply unsatisfying to them; however, most ISFJs find more than enough with which to occupy themselves within the framework of a normal life. (Since ISFJs, like all SJs, are very much bound by the prevailing social conventions, their form of "service" is likely to exclude any elements of moral or political controversy; they specialize in the local, the personal, and the practical.)
ISFJs are often unappreciated, at work, home, and play. Ironically, because they prove over and over that they can be relied on for their loyalty and unstinting, high-quality work, those around them often take them for granted--even take advantage of them. Admittedly, the problem is sometimes aggravated by the ISFJs themselves; for instance, they are notoriously bad at delegating ("If you want it done right, do it yourself"). And although they're hurt by being treated like doormats, they are often unwilling to toot their own horns about their accomplishments because they feel that although they deserve more credit than they're getting, it's somehow wrong to want any sort of reward for doing work (which is supposed to be a virtue in itself). (And as low-profile Is, their actions don't call attention to themselves as with charismatic Es.) Because of all of this, ISFJs are often overworked, and as a result may suffer from psychosomatic illnesses.
Being SJs, they place a strong emphasis on conventional behavior (although, unlike STJs, they are usually as concerned with being "nice" as with strict propriety); if any of their nearest and dearest depart from the straight-and-narrow, it causes the ISFJ major embarrassment: the closer the relationship and the more public the act, the more intense the embarrassment (a fact which many of their teenage children take gleeful advantage of). Over time, however, ISFJs usually mellow, and learn to regard the culprits as harmless eccentrics :-). Needless to say, ISFJs take infinite trouble over meals, gifts, celebrations, etc., for their loved ones--although strong Js may tend to focus more on what the recipient should want rather than what they do want.
Like most Is, ISFJs have a few, close friends. They are extremely loyal to these, and are ready to provide emotional and practical support at a moment's notice. (However, like most Fs they hate confrontation; if you get into a fight, don't expect them to jump in after you. You can count on them, however, run and get the nearest authority figure.) Unlike with EPs, the older the friendship is, the more an ISFJ will value it. One ISFJ trait that is easily misunderstood by those who haven't known them long is that they are often unable to either hide or articulate any distress they may be feeling.

So the latter actually describes me quite well... leaves out my perfectionist and psychotic tendencies but oh well.

Anyways, must return to work. Later!

Weekend Tales

So Pauline, Melissa and I decided to celebrate our birthdays on Friday since our birthdays are all during the summer and we won't be together to celebrate. So yep. We went bowling but the place had to close early so we didn't get to bowl too much which was fine. Then we came back here and played poker. Which was fun except that I suck at it. We'd been playing for a bit and I had a couple cards. I thought they were pretty good but didn't really think too much of it. Dave folded and told me to show me his cards since he was out. I was positive he told me they were all out and that hand was finished, so I threw my cards on the table for everyone to see. Immediately Melissa was like "oh I fold". Everyone started laughing. So apparently I had the highest possible combination and I showed everyone. I won that hand regardless though.
Oh and Pauline and Melissa gave me Happy Feet for my birthday!! I was expecting it but its still very very exciting! I know what I"ll be watching as soon as I finish my seminar. Hehe
Now its Saturday evening, I'm working on my English paper, going to try and pass it in on Monday I think, just to get it out of the way. I just watched Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I enjoy that movie. Especially Marvin. Now I'm onto the 7th Part of Band of Brothers. I've been working on 6 through 10 since Christmas, this is the first time I"ve had time to get to it since then. Not that I really have time now. But anyways, figure Dave's probably gonna want them back someday soo...
Gonna clean the apartment tonight. Just realized people are probably gonna start looking at it soon since its now up for rent for May and I'd like it to be clean. Probably should remove the duct tape from the carpets too, doesn't look that great and I think Jack'll leave the holes alone.. or lets hope so. Luckily he didn't cause the holes, he just made them worse, which they should expect from a cat, so hopefully that won't kill getting my security deposit back.
Have I complained about not being paid for my work over Christmas yet? Cause I'm a bit frustrated about that. That's $400, and I could really use that to pay May's rent, since I still don't have a job lined up.
Anyways, back to my paper and such. Hope everyone's having a good weekend.

Sleeeeepppyyy

So.. I want to go to bed. But I can't. Cause I'm waiting for an email from someone (who said they'd get it to be by 11 - its now 12), so that I can send out another email.
So I'm just sitting here killing time... Melissa pointed out to me today that Finger Eleven has a new song out, they haven't had a new song since "One Thing", but I really like this one (Paralyzer, btw).
Got my sociology paper back. A! Whoo! I'm happy. First A on a paper thus far in my university career.
And apparently I'm cute and just adorable. Unfortunately not a sentiment shared by those I'd want it shared by but I"ll take it.
Ah, got the email so I can go to bed! Night all.

Ouch...

So I've the beginnings of a doozy of a migraine. I'm not going to complain though. Its been coming for awhile now, I'm surprised it held off till now especially with the way the last couple weeks have been.
So actually, I am a little ticked off at the head pain, since I have a job interview tomorrow and I know that if this progresses at this pace throughout the rest of the night I won't be able to see straight by tomorrow morning which means tomorrow's classes are going to be missed again. And on Friday, for the H4H bakesale which means I'll have missed all my MWF classes all week. Gahhh.. at least I'll get lots of reading done on Friday.
Anyways, I've nothing more that I care to share right now. So.. I'm going to go have a shower and then go to bed. Night. Hope everyone else's heads don't hurt as much as mine do.

Monday Monday

I hate Mondays.
Not that it was really all that bad. I just don't like them, cause they always come with the forecast of work all week.
Speaking of work, I have a job interview on Wednesday. It doesn't pay well, but it would look good on a resume... I hope.
Went for a walk again today. This time I walked one way on the trail, which are nice. I think I'll wait till the snow goes away first though cause it was hard walking. I should probably consider the safety of walking them too... but oh well.. what's the worst that could happen really? Nothing I haven't dealt with before I'm sure and if I get like murdered or something, I won't really have to deal with that either so...
Anyways, gonna study for my sociology test tomorrow. Later.

Melissa's eating pizza. I'm eating rice and peas... enough said.

On another note, Jack is being very friendly, making it difficult for Melissa to work as he especially loves her.

I'm bored. I should be working but I don't want to. I've done work - halfway done my draft seminar outline, wrote up several cover letters, applied for a few jobs... I've worked. Now I'm gonna go to bed...and read a book and cuddle with my kitty. Night.

I've found the perfect jobs! Meat-cutter by day and exotic dancer by night! :)
Someone shoot me.

Jack's Back!

And I'm happy bout it. But it has sparked my missing Willow. Hopefully that'll go away soon.
Mom and Lindsay and Alex came up for a quick visit as well.
Pauline and I are discussing the difference between aggressive and assertive. And which we are. I said that I'm aggressive... I'll hit you to get what I want where as she'll convince you to give her what she wants.
I'm job-searching. Not going well I might add. If only cause I don't have enough job experience... grrr.. but anyways.
Nothing too exciting to share I don't think. My seminar is coming along quite nicely, I think I understand what I'm talking about now - Thanks! And I'm just glad I'm not Pauline or Melissa who are both freaking out over their 3000 word paper due tomorrow morning, one which neither of them have started.
Anyways, gonna keep up the hunt. Later.

Ooohh... so since I have no one to take me to this supposedly wonderful place called the SPCA that has a whole room dedicated to cats. I"ve heard stories. I discovered they have a website! And ooo... look at the kitty!

Yay Spring!

Its absoulutely beautiful out. I just came back from a really nice walk. I'm proud. Been outside walking (and puddle-jumping) for the past three days. My attempt to medicate the depression without the use of drugs. So far its not working, but its only been 3 days. That and perhaps I"ll sleep better with some fresh air.
And I need to get in shape. My mother has lost a ton of weight (well maybe not a ton...) and she's not far away from my weight and I don't want to sound mean, but umm... I can't weigh the same as my mother so that needs to be fixed.
Had a great chat with a classmate yesterday, it was really nice to just talk to someone who had the same fears about school and career issues as I do. And to just talk in general. I don't know what I"m going to do this summer with no one to talk to. Just like casual talking, not serious conversations, just everyday, "what's been going on" kind of talking. But that's when I really appreciate my mother. I called her last night too and we talked for over an hour, not about anything too important but just to tell someone what I've been up to is nice. Typing it on here just doesn't cut it and talking to myself just seems redundant.
Speaking of talking to myself, I've caught myself talking out loud to myself. I carry on conversations with myself (and others - I play out how a conversation should go or how it did go etc) in my head all the time. That doesn't worry me anymore (though it probably should) but now I'm actually talking out loud and then replying. Out loud. Maybe I just miss having my cat to talk to, dear goodness I hope that's just it. I'll let you know after he's been back for awhile.
Anyways, I'm gonna go shower (Its warm enought to sweat on a leisurely walk) and have supper (I made poached salmon with a nice lemon basil white sauce last night, and I have leftovers). I need to work on my philosphy seminar and read for Sociology and then Pauline wants to run a couple errands and then I had plans to watch movies.
My family are coming to visit tomorrow. For the whole day. Sooo... tomorrow's out for anything fun so I might as well do it tonight... and I plan on having a drink or two as well... and I definetly can't do that with my family here. Anyways, off I go!
Happy Spring!

Legal Theory? Run!!

We're currently discussing subjective and objective views regarding intent in criminal liability. Terribly interesting but it makes my brain hurt cause I can't decide which I like best. Take this case for instance.
Aside from the amusement that this case arouses in me, especially the: "You got me Dave, I'm dead." (if the man knows your name... shouldn't you think - "hmm.. maybe I should stop shooting"? - anyways, beside the point).
But anyways, the subjective view regarding this would say that since the man had no intent to kill the guy (he was just shooting at the gas tank - though I thought shooting at a gas tank was dangerous and would cause large explosions resulting in death (so he would have intent) but this didn't come up in our discussion of it so I must just watch too many action movies) he's probably just guilty of manslaughter.
But if you take the objective view, he's guilty of murder.
See, I prefer the subjective view. Where we just charge people with stuff regarding their intent. He did not intend to kill the man etc, but then I'm sorta like.. oh but now we're letting someone somewhat off the hook for killing someone.. see my dilemna? Sooo... sometimes the objective view (charging on whatever the outcome is) makes much more sense.
Another situation we discussed was about the man who thought he was transporting heroin across the border but it turned out it was only marijiuna. Should he be charged for transporting marijiuna or heroin? He may have only been transporting marijiuana (gotta love how many different ways I've spelt that.. its hard word to spell I tell ya, we didn't study that one in elementary school spelling) but he intended to transport heroin. So in a completely subjective view, you'd go for the heroin one, but objectively, the marijiuana.
What if it was the other way around? What if he thought he was transporting marijuana but it was actually heroin? Should he get the worse punishement even if he only intended the more minor crime?
You see why this hurts my brain? And really, can we just change it from case to case? Is that really fair? I don't think its fair, how are people to know what the law says if it changes from one situation to another?
My great amount of interest and enjoyment in all this stuff is making me pretty certain I want to take another Philosophy of Law class next year and the year after.. and maybe even find somewhere I can study it for grad school. But I can think about and research that after the semester is over - no time now. Anyways, meeting Diana for coffee or maybe icecream so I must be off. Hope I made sense in that above speil.

- See I personally found this out as soon as I walked out onto the first step outside my apartment this morning. Apparently it takes some people a little longer to figure things out. *sigh...*

HOUSE!!!

Just so everyone knows - Starting next week, 8 new episodes of House! No more reruns for the next 8 weeks! YAY for new House!!

Tales from my day

So I decided I needed to relax for a bit this afternoon, so I grabbed my book (In which I understand what's going on now, btw) and went to Chapters, where I bought a nice tasty coffee and found a nice cosy chair and sat and read for awhile. Its been a really long time since I've indulged my love of reading and I think I deserve it, its nice to just settle into a really good book and just forget about the world. I need to do it more often.
However, a funny thing happened at Chapters. I was in line for my coffee and coughing like I have been lately. Alot. Anyways, a man behind me says "You should have that cough checked out." I turn around, and to my great suprise and amusement its actually the doctor who I saw about the cough at the emergency room last week. I said with a large grin "Actually I already have, and you said it was just a cold and that it would go away." The look on his face was great, "Well I was probably right then, it'll go away." We had a good laugh.
Got a bit frustrated with Chapters too, I'm reading C.S. Lewi's first book in his Space Triology, and I want the second one. But Chapters doesnt' have it. They have the first and they have the third. I'm kinda mad. And might I point out - the third one is much much longer than the first one.
Also discovered today that the selection of shoe stores and therefore shoes is very sparse in this city. I think I'm going to have to check downtown and if that doesn't work, I'll wait till the next time I head back home. I did get a nice spring coat to replace the one I ruined on the trip. And it was cheap and its even nicer than the other one.
Anyways, going to go make food. Read some Sociology and Phil of Law and then maybe finish up that book tonight. Tootles.

In this corner: Horse! and in the other: Cow!

In my distraction earlier, I stumbled across a slight problem. I was watching something and it referenced eating horses. And I thought..."why don't we eat horses?" Of course, the obvious answer that came to mind was "oh but they're like pets, we domesticate them and they live near people on farms." But that doesnt' work. Cause we do the same thing with cows and chickens. Technically they're just as domesticated as a horse or a dog.
So yeah... now its got me thinking.. and I'm not sure if I'm thinking a) its okay to eat horses and we should be eating them (this then carries with it that, if we eat horses, we should eat cats and dogs) or b) we shouldn't be eating horse, and we also shouldn't be eating cows or chickens.
Hmm...

Papers?!?! Again?!?!?

I've got my leftover alphaghetti and I've made it to the homestretch of my soc paper! Just need another page and half or so and I should be good and best part is, I've still got lots to say.
So the plan is to finish that by 5:30 or so. Then eat and clean up my room. And then start on my History paper. Which will... be painful to say the least.
But something that's not painful. Saw the apartment today. Its perfect. I knew what it was gonna look like before I say it but its in great shape and its got an extra huge storage room that kinda took me by wonderful surprise! Five closets in a one bedroom apartment = absolutely wonderful for the crazy organized girl in me! The landlady is pretty sure I'll be able to get it, so now I just need to wait and keep my fingers crossed and then do the moving out part. Which grr.. not looking forward to but oh well, hopefully this'll be the last time in a really long time.
Anywhoo, back to the work. I'll check in later!

5:51pm - Finished my Sociology Paper!! A really wonderful young lady is gonna proof if for me (my thanks a million:) And I am going to go have a hot shower to relax and warm up (its chilly in here). Yep. And then food, food would be good. Healthy food too - cause I only bought healthy food - so I have no choice.
I have a problem, my hand is really hurting... which makes it really hard to do alot of typing and I have another 3000 words ahead of me tonight (and tomorrow I guess)... grr.. anyways, gonna go rest it.

7:12pm - I've had a nice warm shower and I've read a couple short stories. Supper is on and I've got 174 words of my history paper. Gahhhh

8:02pm - Mom just called to say they had to put my grandmother in the hospital. She has an aortic anureysim (that is not spelt right and I don't even care) and they're afraid of it rupturing or whatever they do. If it does, it'll kill her, there won't be anything they can do for it. So yeah, Mom was filling out forms and wanted my opinion on whether or not to sign a DNR for her. That was fun. Gahhhh....
On another note - I need headphones. Like headphony ones, not the ones that go in your ears cause after a couple hours they start to hurt. Anyways, back to it.

9:39pm - 342 words. And we have a meeting tomorrow night, which means I have to have the bulk of this finished by tomorrow at 5pm. Possible yes, but I'm sleepy and I want to take some gravol and go to bed.

10:10pm - To wake myself I thought I"d take the survey the university sent out, you know the whole, nothing'll change if I don't do something kind of thing so I'm doing what I can - filling out a survey. They said it'd take 15 minutes or so... its been 30 and I"m only 60% done. Good grief!

10:21pm - My Yahoo! toolbar keeps saying I have a new email but its lying to me. And that's mean, cause I get so excited at the prospect of new email.

12:17pm - 1062 words! Going to bed now. I've got 3 hours between class and Habitat meeting tomorrow night to finish and then I'm going to have a drink tomorrow night. After the work I've done the last few days. I deserve it. Yes. I do. Don't you dare you think otherwise.

Tuesday, 6:42pm - Okay, I know I said I'd have the paper done by the meeting. Well... I didn't get it completely done. I socialized instead. That's much better I think. So I am currently at 1581. Only 200 to go and then I'm going to find someone to keep me company... I miss my cat.

9:01pm - well... 1697...I should be farther ahead but I'm not! I'm on a search for saints and I need a book.Cause I refuse to use the internet as a source. So I'm going to get my sister to give me some info from a book they have. Though I did just remember that I have several books here, that I own on early modern Europe. Wish I'd realized that earlier. In a completely different note, my tastes in music... they scare me sometimes.

Paper-writing

Calls for procrastination!
Sociology paper on lesbian mothers due on Tuesday at 10am. I started it at 3:30 this afternoon. For awhile I considered going to the Habitat potluck tonight. Decided that was a bad idea. It is 4:48pm and I have 364 words of 2000 done. I have to finish this tonight, Because....
History paper on reasons for entering the convent due on Wednesday at 1:30pm. Yet to be started and....
Psychology Paper on Chapters 5-8 tomorrow morning at 9:30am. I studied for a bit last night and then ended up reading a realllly good book for a few hours before falling asleep.

In exciting yet very distracting news, an apartment (one absolutely perfect for Jack and I) has become avaiable - so I must go look at that tomorrow or at least call about it. Anyways, back to work. I'll check back in later on.

Update: Its 7:36pm and I have 852 words. I'm getting closer to be halfway done! I think. I am now going to take a stress break - in which I will wash dishes cause I'm stressed. Then make food. So.. back in a bit!

Update #2: 9:12pm - I got distracted by Titanic, I've now seen all of it. But I've got 1171 words!

Update #3 - 1:03pm - Took a break after 1463 words cause my hand was cramping and I was getting tired of writing. Watched a couple episodes of Rome... they almost killed off my favorite character, Titus Pullo (not like Marco Polo by the way:). But they didn't. Thank goodness, or I might have refused to watch anymore. Anyways, now I'm back here, my hand is still cramping up so we're gonna stick to studying for the rest of the evening. So night all!

Crying.... not good for the cough

Just freaked out at mom on the phone. See.. nothing ever goes well with my family. Nothing. I was supposed to go home tonight to visit and go to an eye appointment tomorrow, then Mom bringing Jack and I back on Saturday. Well now she doesn't think she can. Which means he has to stay back in Saint John for another week or more till someone can bring him back up. Well I don't want to wait another week. I want him back now. Apparently this immature and unreasonable. As is being upset about her pretty much killing my other cat while I was away. Apparently its immature to have wanted maybe the vet's thougths and advice on the situation before just putting her down. I realized Willow wasn't well, I knew that, and I"d told mom that, and she seems to have taken that as my permission for her to do whatever she wanted with her while I was gone. So she kinda went a little crazy, they could have taken her to the vet, had her sedated or something and then maybe done some tests, confirm "their" suspicious. Cause I find out now that the suspicions about a brain tumor were my mother's and NOT the vet's. She never actually spoke with the vet. Nor did she ever really get my permission, she just went ahead and did it. And I"m mad. And I kinda think I have a bit of a right to be... and sure, maybe I"m being a huge baby who's crying over nothing, but... that "nothing" was my cat and I kinda loved her and now she's just gone and she thinks I should be perfectly fine with that. And my wanting my other cat back soon is silly and I should be concentrating on school work, but sorry, instead I"m sitting here wondering what he could do to make her have him put down too.
I just want to stop coughing to the point of throwing up and to stop blowing my damn nose, I want this semester to be over and I want my one remaining cat in my arms now. Is that too much to ask?

Fuming

I wrote a midterm in my History of European Women class at the end of February. I studied alot for that midterm, and did really well, or at least I thought I did well. I got it back today. I did great on the second half but the first half my prof is claiming that I did not answer the question. As far as I know I did however, there's no other way I could have answered it, we studied no other material in the course thus far that could have sufficiently answered it any differently than how I did. I'm really mad. Cause she failed me on that part, giving me only a C when I should have easily had an A.
I'm going to go talk to her. I'm not giving up easily, at least not until I have a good reason behind my receiving that mark, which will included what she really meant by that question and what she wanted for an answer.
Anyways, I'm going to go pout angrily with a good book that has nothing to do with school, cause I'm on strike from that class for awhile. Grr...

I need my weekly dose of Hugh

I think I'm going through Hugh Laurie withdrawal. Luckily last week's episode of House, which I hear was pretty good, is almost done downloading! And there's a House on tonight, be it a repeat or not, I'll be watching.

Home Sweet Home

So we're home. Finally. And thank goodness.
It was a good time but I'm glad to be back at home with regards to the being sick part.
Spent yesterday at the hospital/clinic with Dave. We have drugs now. I don't know 'bout him but I'm breathing much easier now. Still coughing like crazy and still feeling extremely weak and tired though. Hopefully that'll pass soon. Was just talking to Jeff. Poor guy's sick too. I expect a few others will be getting it soon too.
Luckily, so far one of my profs has given me an extra four days to write my paper. Waiting to hear back from another. Hopefully, I'll get a few extra days for that one too. I could probably get them done but the puffer makes me too shaky and dizzy and weak all that to do anything really, but I"ll take that over not being able to breathe anytime. I got oxygen yesterday. That was fun. Which explains how I got in before Dave, cause in my mind he was much sicker. He really gave me a good scare on Friday. I guess that's a good way to get back at me for last year's trip so I won't complain but I had no realized that colds could make one feel that bad.
So yeah, no hospital trips (though we were seriously considering taking Dave in, we even discussed what we could to do knock him out, knowning he'd never let us take him)this year! No broken bones, no real injuries really other than the sick people.
So yep... not too much else to share. Gonna work on my paper that definetly isnt' getting an extension.. i.e. the one that was due this morning. So yeah... later!

Sooo... Virginia.

I've definetly had better experiences... umm... well... I'm sick. Have been for a few days now. The first day was just horrible violent illness (wasn't the only one either, Dave and another girl were quite sick as well), I however am not recovering as nicely as they have. I can't keep any food down whatsover and the weakness is starting to become a problem, especially with the whole building houses thing... you know the point of this trip? Also... I should have great ab muscles by the end of this... they hurt like I"ve been doing situps for the past three days.
So yeah... and to add to the sick... when I called Mom yesterday looking for sickness support and mother comforting, I got the news that we were going to need to put Willow down. She'd been sick the last couple of days I guess and then did one of her freak out things, one that no one could calm her down from... the doctor believes it to have been a brain tumour or something like that...so yeah... I'm am less one cat now... and I can't say I'm too happy about the idea... yeah, well umm.. happy definestly is not what I'm feeling right now. Definetly not. I know really know what to feel... part of me feels silly for being so upset over the loss of a cat, and another part of me is angry tht I couldn't have been there... and just gahhh...
Anyways, I have some more being sick to do and possibly some school work.. so yeah.. I'm off... I'll post later when I get home, with some uplifting news (yet to be experienced mind you).

And They're Off!

Just a quick hi before I leave. Its Saturday morning. Its too early to be awake and sitting at a computer and I'm a tad bit sleep. And hungry actually. But my toast is cooking.
We leave in an hour or so for Virginia. I'm excited, but a bit stressed, not sure exactly what the contributing factor to that is but hopefully it'll pass. Hate to seem childish but I"m also a bit homesick already. I hate that... okay, maybe its not homesick but I definetly get awfully anxious when I travel and am away from home. But I have gravol for the driving - that should help and enough school work while not house-building to make me forget I ever had a home.
So, hope Everyone's spring breaks are productive and fun. And I will see with you when I get back, with no tales of ambulance rides or drugs to make one feel like they were dead.
Have a great break!

Firefly Boys

So last night when I couldn't sleep and Melissa was writing a paper we watched Firefly. Which is kinda fun, cause I really do like that show and I haven't watched it in awhile. In the course of watching we were discussing the men in the show... okay, actually it was spurred by a comment something like "Jayne is sooo hot" by Melissa.
It resulted in a discussion on the difference between Simon and Jayne. It was quite quickly agreed upon that Simon was cute, in a run your hands through his hair kind of way. And that Jayne (in Melissa's words) had "raw sex appeal" and you just wanted to rip his clothes off.
And Wash, well he's just a mix of the two.
We didn't discuss anyone else. But no one else really matters. :)

24

So I"ve been watching 24, well, Pauline and I have been for a few months now. We're currently on Season 5. I got ahead when I was sick last night. And I need to point out my favorite characters. Currently, my favorite character is Aaron Pierce. I realize he isn't a major character but he's cute in this very loyal, honorable patriotic kind of way and I very much enjoy his character. This season has also seen a rise in my liking of Chloe O'Brien.
I would like to point out how interesting I find it that they like to display on national television the use of torture as a government agency's method of interrogation.
Anyways, gonna go watch an episode before bed.

geh

I don't feel well. Started getting sick last evening with what I thought was going to be the cold Melissa, Dave and Lyndsay had had. Well, then I started getting feverish and around 2am or so, starting getting violently ill. That continued till about 7 this morning when I finally got to bed. Unfortunately, once I was able to sleep I couldn't sleep. Which ticked me off. So I layed and listened to dump trucks all morning.
I'm feeling better now, but I"m hungry, since I haven't eaten since who knows when. So food might be a good idea. Dont' want to cook though, but oh well.
Had our last Habitat Meeting before the trip this evening. Our list has gone down alot. I can say I'm sad that the people who dropped did, but there's unfortunately nothing I can do about that.
I got my psychology test date pushed back a week. Which means I do not have a test the morning after we get back. Thank goodness. Now, I only have 5 or 6 papers to do. Which isn't looking so bad. As long as I bring my research and my laptop with me, I should be able to get them done. I figure since my battery on my laptop lasts about 3 hours, I can get 3 hours of official writing done each driving day. That's 4 days, at 3 hours... so 12 hours should write at least 3 of those papers, especially since I should have rough drafts and outlines done. I also really need to start my seminar. Really do.
So the plan for the week, other than school work and packing was to go see the Number 23... probably not going to happen now.. which is also saddening. Unless I go see it alone, or ask Lyndsay to go. Pauline and Melissa dropped out on me *shakes fist playfully* and Dave is understandably much too busy. Hey, maybe it'll be playing in Charlottesville and we'll go see it some night, or perhaps its been really really popular and will still be playing when we get back. Anyways...
Okay. Going to go make food, start Season 1 of Corner Gas and do research. Soon to follow, Meldoy's comments on 24.

Courses!

Yay, classes are up. Can't register yet. But they are up. Let me share my hopes.

Fall 2007
Business Law I
Crime and Social Control
Pyschology of Women
History of Sexualities


Winter 2008
Human Sexuality
Legal Responses to Family Violence
Sociology of Law
History: Women in Early Modern Atlantic World
Crime and Social Control

So I'm kinda missing a class still, but if I get all the ones I want for next year, I'll only have 5 more classes left to graduate! :)
Also, First Term, I don't have any classes on Wednesdays or Fridays, that excites me.

I must express frustration

I will be the first one to say I'm not perfect and that I have some major problems. So, in my rant that shall follow I do not speak against anyone specifically nor do I say I am better than anyone.
However, I must express frustration. My mother was right and I don't like that. As I'm sure no one likes to admit their mother was right. The worst thing is, that with regards to this issue, I defended someone else, I had my mother so angry at me that she threatened to kick me out. I gave up so much in defending one person and their family that I am still bearing the anger of my family years later. And after all of that, my mother was right. And that makes me mad, cause I fought so hard, I did so much to be sure that I was right and that I was defending a good cause and now I go and find that the people I was defending hate me, are expecting me to do ridiculous things and would have no problems with something bad happening to me.
That's what you get for being nice I guess. That's what you get for loving someone and standing up for them. Well, I've learnt my lesson.
Anyways, that was my rant, now I'm going to go try and distract myself from my anger.

Stuff I haven't had time to share

I have been super busy the last week. Like, no time for anything other than work busy. Which is midly depressing and stressful. Fortunately, I have gotten some work done and I was able to relax a bit last night. Saw a few movies, some were awful and only bearable cause of the really beautiful young men in them, others were highly amusing and others depressing yet very good.
A man got on the bus a few days back, very good look young guy in a suit. The part about this I must share however was he was carrying a tin Spongbob Squarepants lunch box. I must admit I was taken aback.
My cats are spilling their water, there is a huge puddle in my kitchen. I need suggestions, what do I do to keep them from spilling their water? Really, I need to find a super heavy dish that they can't move.. but findin that is well, difficult.
We leave for the Habitat Trip in 6 days, I finally made plans for the cats - mom is going to take them. I've got to do some packing this week. I bought a bag on Friday, its small but I think big enough to pack in for a week. I want to pack really well and with a small bag cause I know I'll need to bring my bookbag along and I don't want to take up alot of space. I figure I should be able to get lots of work done, I've got almost 4 days of driving and its going to require I stay in a few evenings unfortunately but I'll survive.
Anyways, I'm going to clean the apartment. Tootles.

Indulge Me

Okay, Pauline and I were being girly and talking about weddings. So... I wanted to show her the types of wedding dresses I liked. The celtic and medieval ones are nice but they leave me stuck for what the groom would wear... cause I wouldnt' want him dressed up all medievally. We'll see. But the others are nice too.
The pink one is really pretty for the bridesmaids, especially for a really simple May or June wedding.
Okay, well that was fun. Must go do schoolwork now so that I can take tomorrow off. Later all.

The sun is in my eyes

But I've scared it way now.
So... After reading my chapter of Philosophy last night, I rediscovered a love. Which is kinda cool. But depressing at the same time, because I don't know what to do with it and the only thing I can do with it (that I know of, I'm searching for more) appears to be something I'm not gonna get to do. However, the great excitement I had over legal theory regarding criminal liability and omissions has given me the motivation to work really hard and get my marks up. Which is good. Cause they need to get up a bit. So yeah, I think I am enjoying this class a little too much, but that's okay. I like it! Its my favorite class to go to and that's a good thing in my mind, especially since I"d like to pursue it in gradute studies soo... oh and I got mocked for not having my driver's license in class today. Apparently this is a big deal. But I promise. By this time next year I'll have it.
I have a midterm tomorrow. One for which I should be studying but I'm pretty confident in it, I'm really enjoying the class - History: European Women from 1450-1800 - And therefore I have done all my readings, attended most of my classes and enjoyed them so I'm not too worried.
Dropped off a couple resumes yesterday. Working on a cover letter for an administrative job here at UNB, and then I'll pass that one in tomorrow.
Got my research done ... well books checked out... for my sociology paper. I'm going to narrow it down to lesbian mothers and see where that gets me. This is definetly a paper I won't be sending to my mother - I've promised to send her my papers this term so she knows what I'm studying, I"d rather she not know the details of my women's studies classes.
So I've scrapped the 50 things posts... sorry, if you want to know 50 things about me, become my friend or just read these posts. That'll tell you plenty.
Anyways, Studying awaits me before the H4H meeting, so I must scoot!

Stuff

So I've gotten a few things done off my todo list so I can blog a little less guiltily then usual.
I'm hungry. Which shouldn't be because I ate earlier.
oooo! Walmart brought back Jack's favorite toy! I think I was more excited than he was to see it. I stocked up (well I bought two so I"ve got one when the other dies - which will happen sooner than later). And I bought a second fluffy mouse. They really really like them and have been fighting over it for awhile now so I got Willow one. She was quick to claim it and growled at Jack as soon as he came near her. Luckily, we have two so they can both have one! But like most children, Jack wanted the one Willow had. Oh well...
Okay, I've decided what I'm going to write my sociology paper on... I'm going to do something on everyday lives of lesbians in Canada. Yes. Should be intersting, and easy to find info on.. Yep. I like it. So now I just need to get my draft done by Thursday. That'll be tomorrow's work between class and Habitat meeting.
Speaking of Habitat, that's soon. And I still don't have someone to watch the cats. Probably should get on that.
Hmm... maybe that topic's a bit too broad... well.. we can narrow it down to family life, or legal stuff or education, or workplace right? Or I can cover them all briefly? That would be optimal...
Anyways, I'm gonna return to my todo list. Later All.

A few things...

Commercials...
Diet Pepsi - "Is there anything else youthful you'd like to experience?" "Yeah, I"d like to make out like we used to." A little while later... "On second thought, I'll just stick to my diet pepsi." -- Alright now... first of all, diet pepsi is gross. And second of all, who chooses making out over pop?
Education Fund Commericals and Banking commercials about parents paying for their children's tuition - Okay umm... my parents wouldn't pay for my education even if they had the money. Parents actually pay for their children's education?

We played games last night. Twas fun.
Jack has discovered the windows, especially those in my room. He's wrecking my blind though, and I had to take my curtains down cause he keeps falling and pulling them down. And I have to keep my blinds open so he doesn't wreck them too much trying to fit his head through to look out. Which is frustrating cause I can't just go in my room and take off my clothes, I need to close the blinds and avoid the holes he's created. I suppose I could just dress in the bathroom... hmm... okay.. dilemna solved. :)
Bought a new computer game - Civilization III. Unfortunately I got it 2nd hand so it didn't come with an instruction book, so its gonna take me awhile to figure it out. Cause those damn tutorials on there don't help me much.
So yeah... gonna go do litter boxes, clean the bathroom and kitchen and then play ma game! Later.
