So, nothing really extravagant happened today. No huge surprises or shotgun weddings... Just another day, really.
Started out kinda icky... I made a point of sleeping in, because I felt icky. Laid in the sun (I call this my lizard-on-rock time) for about a half hour, went to the school to hand in a paper, got a test back (23/25!!) came home... And then I got a bizarre valentine...
Shaun came over. For about an hour. He stopped in just to pick up the notes from class, but wound up staying for tea. We talked about... well, the usual philosophical "we're cool and know what we're talking about" bologna that we usually talk about. It was nice to just chat with someone new and different for a while. Someone who hasn't heard all my stories yet...
Anyways, then I went to rehearsal, and got another valentine, though this one was more creepy than anything... Flowers from Sarah V. Flowers that Sarah V. got from her stalker ex-boyfriend who apparently now knows where she lives. Creepy. Also, I wrote poetry on the cover of my script. It's actually not bad.
So, yeah... just another day.
If you're going to screw it up, do it BIG... people will think you're doing it on Purpose.

Attention Vagina Lovers!
I will be acting/presenting a monologue in Nipissing U/Canadore C's presentation of "The Vagina Monologues" on Feb. 28 and March 5 @ The Wall!!
My Monologue is "The Angry Vagina", and it's farking hilarious! I'm really looking forward to it.
In other News...
I've been feeling kinda down lately (I know, mom, you hate reading about me feeling down...;) )But I think it's just the season. Really, things haven't been going that badly. I haven't been sleeping well, but I never do, so it's not really that terrible. I think what's been getting me down recently is my weight. I've kinda packed it on in the last month or two. Too much beer, probably, but since I'm not quite willing to give that up (yet...) I'm looking into other options. First and foremost is going to be a major re-focus on vegetables. I've been ok, but I need to kinda work at it. I mean, at least now I'm eating soup at the caf instead of pizza (most of the time), and to be honest, the soup's more filling... Actually, I found a really simple recipie for Vegan Potato Leek and Pea soup which I might try out... In any case, yes... more veggies, less processed crap. And more water. I think that might be part of the issue too.
VM goes up in a month, and tIoBE shortly after that (like, a week!!), and I want to look my best. That, and, you know, I want to look my best anyways... you never know who's looking. But, yeah.
So, it's 11:30. Trying to go to bed earlier has become futile, because rehearsals don't get out until 11pm, and after talking to Karl (who agrees that 11pm is kinda late), we discovered that there's really nothing we can do about that. So, I'm just going to have to work through it. I'm really going to start trying to not be late for class anymore... I'm starting to get a reputation for it.
Tomorrow's game plan, in case anyone was wondering:
1) Finish Evaluating Information assignment
2) study for Sociology Test
3) work on Sociology Assignmnet
4) work on Assignment for Placement
5) memorize lines for tIoBE, or at least run through them a bit
6) look over VM monologue
7) Finish and mail letters to pen pals from ZetaChannel
8)Interviewing with Jude James
9)Scoreboard with Karl
10)Rehearsal... again.
Wow... that's a lot more than I thought it was. But, that's ok. I'll manage. I hope.
I think I'm going to take some time now and clean up a bit. Even just cleaning off my "get-prettied-up" stand the other day made me feel better. So, tonight I think I'm going to focus on the area around my desk. The laundry situation is going to have to wait until the weekend I think. Which is ok, I guess.
Horray!...-ish.

hurrr...
I don't feel all that well. I don't really know what it is. If I'm not spazzed, spun or acting like a squirrel on speed, I'm nauseated and can barely keep my eyes open.
I have tomorrow off (class wise, anyways), so I'll be able to get some real sleep and clean my room... which I always say I'm going to do, but never really do. But I think that might be part of the reason my stomach's doing flip-floppy things.
The Secret Project is becoming more of a reality than I really expected it to... I already have at least two confirmed allies, possibly more. this means that I might just actually have to work on this at some point.
Other than that, I'm off to rehearsal, I suppose... I hope I get to do more than I did last night. Getting on stage once this week wouldn't be a bad thing.

Sleep is for the WEAK!
I have to be up in about 6.5 hours, so I'll make this quick...
Went to class, came home, had a nap, went to Sarah and Larkin's, watched Firefly, Discussed Prestige classes.
That was pretty much it. I'll have something more substantial tomorrow.
G'night all!

Mommy... When I grow up, I wanna be a Pussy Cat Doll.
God, their hot.
Moving on...
I'm bored. It's almost 1am, and I'm bored, and I can't sleep, and I'm not hungry, and my legs are cramped from sitting on the floor for too long.
Blahblahblahblah. I really have nothing to say, and, though I probably could be packing or doing dishes or something, I really don't want to do anything. I think I have another one of those writing blockages... I remember a time when I would use moments like this to write until my hand cramped and the candle burnt out. Now, I've got nothin. I mean, it's like it's all moving too fast, and I'm covered in elastic bands and can't stretch them enough to move. Once again, I feel like I'm in a cage, and I don't know why.
Anyways, I'm looking at Dalhousie's online academic calander right now. No, I'm not abandoning Canadore (or Ontario)... I'm just... I don't know, exploring. Here's the thing: A while back, Angela and I discovered that I'm a certificate junkie. I look for physical representations that I have accomplished something within my community, and that people appreciate that. I look for something tangeable to mark my personal accomplishments with. And the more I think about it, the more I start to realize that I might not be happy with what I thought I was going to be happy with: a B.A., a couple of diplomas and some certifications. Eventually, I might actually want to persue a B.S.W., and maybe even an M.S.W (Ph.D., for me, might be reaching over the moon...), so I want to start looking into distance-ed. type options and things like that. Athabasca had some sort of certificate in Counceling, a certificate in Women's Counceling, and a Master's program which looked ok.
And for the record, I know that I'm spelling Counceling wrong. I don't have to spell it right for at least another 2 weeks.
Either way... I don't know. I don't think I'm going to be happy until I've got a wall coated in those pieces of paper that people are trying to convince me not to take too much stock in. I know, it seems silly. It's just paper. I mean, they made a friggin movie about a kid who creates his own U, so how big a deal can it really be?
I guess, for me, it's just a way of finally proving that I know stuff. I know things, they are in my head, sometimes they just don't come out right. And that I do work hard. I don't just coast, and it's not all dumb luck. I do try, and someone notices enough to put it on a piece of paper I can frame and dust and point to and say "look what I did". I don't know what it stems back to, more than likely it's something in my childhood (it usually is), and it's probably superficial (it *always* is), but it's important to me. So, that's why those blue pages Nathan used to bring home rewarding him for "positive escalations" got me keyed up, and that's why I still have them. And, yes, I will give them back to him when I see him...
And now, on an almost compleatly unrelated note...
I really need sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow to prepare myself for getting up early for the following 2 days. Acutally, the course might be a nice ease-back-in thing... prep for getting back to actual class work.
Ok, I think I can sleep now. Maybe. If not, I'll just stare at the cieling for a few hours.
That'll be fun, too...

Sweet Fancy Moses!
2 posts in one week? Craziness! Next day posting - It's the wave of the future!
Yes, I realize that it's 9.30 am, and I really don't have to be awake for another 2 hours. I'd like to say that I got up early for some great driving purpose, but it was, in fact, for the purpose of driving. Ash left her keys in Josh's car, so I had to drive her out to Granton. On the + side, I got to meet baby Jack. He's a cutie, and a total flirt. Big Blue eyes.
But now, I'm home, with my Brown eyed baby flirt, Ms. Theadora Von Ruxpin. That dog is the biggest attention whore since...well, me. She learned from the best, I guess.
I had a really annoying dream last night. In the dream, I didn 't pass/complete one of my courses at Nip, so I had to drop out of Canadore to take one course at the University. I tried to convince the admins that I could complete Kid Lit (the course I didn't complete because I didn't hand in a report on...The velveteen Rabbit? Or maybe it was Corderoy bear...) AND go to Canadore at the same time, but you can't be registered in two places at once. I had to pay full tuition at both places, and since I couldn't afford it, I dropped out and had to work at Richardsons. I know it's wierd, but when I woke up, I honestly couldn't remember if I had passed Kid lit, so I checked the grades on my transcript. Talk about Paranoia: they wouldn't have let me graduate if I hadn't finished the course...
So now, I"m up. I'm checking up on my fellow bloggers (that's right, I know where you post!), then checking the networks to see when shows are starting. Mom said that Prison Break starts Aug. 21, but I have no intrest in actually watching it, except to figure out who the hell the FBI agent is... I know I've seen him somewhere else, but I can't remember his name. I think Criminal Minds isn't starting until September 20th, but I could be wrong. House will likely start late September, and I'm not too concerned about Law & Order yet: I think I'm good just watching it in Re-runs for now. There's just way too many seasons/series for me to actually get a hold of without simply buying them all on DVD, and that's just way, way too expensive. Besides, if I'm going to buy anything on DVD, it's going to be Season 1 of Criminal Minds, just for the Extra Features. And seasons 1&2 of Hell's Kitchen.
Speaking of HK, WTF?!? What the Hell is Virginia doing in the top 2? she shouldn't have made it past the top 5! And, for the record, Kieth was absolutly right... Ramsey's probably boinking her between takes. Of course, aparently she's married, and one of the reporters blows that whistle on the next show, so I"m sure things will be sticky for her after that. There's no doubt in my mind that Heather will win at this point. If Virgina wins, I'll drive down to Vegas and bitch-slap her myself!
Not that I'm like that or anything...
I've finished reading the Devil Wears Prada. meh. I wouldn't read it again. Sorry, but the ending just... it didn't do it for me. I mean, I could write a short story for Seventeen Magazine, and I've never worked at a high end fashion mag. In fact, given the way things are going, I"m relativly certain that anyone who can still hold a pen would be given $500 and a guarenteed publishing deal at this point. Stupid prostitots. Whoa, where did that come from? Anyways...
Now I'm on to I Know This Much Is True. It's about twin brothers, one your average, work-a-day house painter, the other a paranoid schizophrenic who cuts off his own hand in the middle of a public library because God told him that that was the only way to stop a war. And that's all in the first Chapter. It isn't too bad thus far, but the book's a brick, and I probably won't finish it before I go back, which is unfortunate. I wanted to read the books I got Ash for her birdday, now that she's finished them. Running with Scizzors and Glass Castle, incase you were wondering. Plus, I still have My Friend Lenard, The once and Future King, a stack of Jane Austen novels as tall as me, 100 more Harry Potter books (ok, just 4 right now...) And Mom's In the Garden trilogy from Nora Roberts. Plus, I'd LOVE to get my hands on the Black Trillium series. I read bits of Black Trillium when I was a kid, but I think I'd appreciate it more now.
I'm packing a few things up this week. The ultimate goal is to take no more than 4 totes this time. I keep carting back and forth a bunch of decorative stuff I don't really need. And a lot of clothes that I never actually wear. I think that's more than half of my "clutter" problem. I have 2 bedrooms, and both of them are full at all times. GAH. However, this time, the Northern room will see the addition of Bookshelves (thank GOD), a large pin board and a wipe board. That saves me writing things all over my mirror, especially since I've got it in my head that I can get by on a bank of drawers and a full-length mirror. Don't worry, Mike, no yard sales will be involved in removing the excess from your basement, just a big Good Will truck. Mom's covering the replacement cost!
I guess I should mention that I"m thinking about (read: nothing is definate yet) coming back on Monday Aug. 28th. Mom and I (and possibly Ash) will drive up and she/they will bus it home on Tuesday night. I know for sure that it will be sometime that week, I'm just too lazy to really dig in and hammer out the details yet. I'm actually dragging my ass on it abit, but only because I would kinda like to have a summer holiday before I start back into the school thing, and as of right now, I don't really get one.
Why does it always feel like a mass exodus everytime I have to go somewhere. Everything is NOW NOW GO GO GO NOW!!!!!!!11!1!! I mean, god, Chill people!
So, that's the happening in my head right now. Alongside a little voice screaming "why the hell are you awake right now?"
I don't know either.

Once more into the Breech...
It hit me today, hard and fast... I'm not ready for this.
It seems like March just came up so fast... obviously February is a short month, but still... I just... thought I had more time.
I was going to post my traditional "List of the hell to come", but I'm too tired. I have to be at school by 9am tomorrow. If I have time, I will add as much of said list as I can.
Right now, I have to print off a few things, then fall into a black, dreamless sleep.
Mmmmm...Sleeeeeeeeeeeeep.

1 down...
H'ok, so...
For those of you that didn't here the story: I got my Romance Report done 2 days ago, and as I was formatting it, the program imploded upon itself, shut down, and wiped out the half-days worth of work I'd done and hadn't saved. Let this be a warning to you all: don't rely on Auto-Save!!
In any case, I was so mad at the program, I couldn't even look at it until thismorning, and then it was only because the paper is due today. So it's done. Finished and printed off.
Cool. 1 down, 5 assignments, 2 midterms, a test, an exam and a horse-load or reading to go.
Woo.
Yeah, I still feel bad though. Nathan "gave" me this week (like, we havent' seen eachother all week, really) so I could get work done, and that's all I've gotten so far. I can tell he's disappointed, but I'm still working on things. I'm just a little on the slow side.
Right now, it's pouring rain outside, and I'm not totally sure if it's rain, freezing rain or wet snow. either way, if this paper wasn't due, I wouldn't have gotten out of bed today. I laid down for a nap last night at 7.30, planning to get up at 8pm, finish my paper and NaNo for a bit.
I woke up at 1.30 am... I didn't set the alarm right. And at that point, I was so tired that I just went back to bed. I woke up at 8am, got out of bed at 9.
I slept for over 12.5 hours last night. No wonder I'm not getting any work done.
Blah blah blah... Everything's coming together... but everything's coming together on top of me, so I'm too squished to care...
I think I need another nap.

In any case, I was so mad at the program, I couldn't even look at it until thismorning, and then it was only because the paper is due today. So it's done. Finished and printed off.
Cool. 1 down, 5 assignments, 2 midterms, a test, an exam and a horse-load or reading to go.
Woo.
Yeah, I still feel bad though. Nathan "gave" me this week (like, we havent' seen eachother all week, really) so I could get work done, and that's all I've gotten so far. I can tell he's disappointed, but I'm still working on things. I'm just a little on the slow side.
Right now, it's pouring rain outside, and I'm not totally sure if it's rain, freezing rain or wet snow. either way, if this paper wasn't due, I wouldn't have gotten out of bed today. I laid down for a nap last night at 7.30, planning to get up at 8pm, finish my paper and NaNo for a bit.
I woke up at 1.30 am... I didn't set the alarm right. And at that point, I was so tired that I just went back to bed. I woke up at 8am, got out of bed at 9.
I slept for over 12.5 hours last night. No wonder I'm not getting any work done.
Blah blah blah... Everything's coming together... but everything's coming together on top of me, so I'm too squished to care...
I think I need another nap.

Crap.
Yeah, so I have the plague again. Worse, this time, as the OJ/Mint/Pepermint thing isn't working. Nathan made me take a shot of buckley's. Gagging on it didn't help the throat, but I managed to keep it down.
I'm going to grab a nap, then maybe watch some more Wonderfalls or start browsing through Josh's Jem and the Hologram's collection.
When I'm better, I'll update you all on the wedding, the dentist, the lump under my chin and the...other stuff.

Cure for the Plague!
Here it is, boys and girls:
1) Orange Juice. LOTS of it. And not that fake sugared crap, the REAL stuff.
2) Salt and Pepper chips for breakfast. Yeah, I don't get it either...
3) Mint. Mint tea, strong mint Gum, Altoids... whatever. It opens up your stuffy nose and clears your scratchy throat.
4) MORE ORANGE JUICE!!!
And sleep, of course. Which I've done comfortably for the last little while.
So, I got stuff accomplished today. YAY! I love it when things come together.
1) Ok, Wednesday last, Mom calls in a panic because there's a cheque in my name sitting on her counter from Canada Student Loans. Why does CSL have my home address? Why wasn't there any paperwork attatched? WTF? So I told Financial Aid, who confirmed that it was infact the remainder of my OSAP, which couldn't be direct deposited on my line of credit because... well, it's a line of credit. So, that's cool... I now have a big fat cheque headed my way!
2) My course pack is still not in (friggin grr...), but I put a $20 deposit on my last text, which should be in...soon? Either way, they'll call me when it gets there, so I'm guarenteed to get one.
3)I've just shot a list of potential article topics off to Steph at the Hibou. More on that soon... Well, once I pick one... there's a lot there to choose from.
4)I've joined Amnesty International at the school. I know, I know... one more thing, but a) It's not a club, so there aren't meetings, just emails, and b)it's something that I'd been doing since High School, and something I feel strongly about... even if it's just signing a few pre-printed post cards...
...I should note that It's now tomorrow (aka. today, aka. the 27th)... I kinda fell asleep before finishing the post. Yeah...
More later.

Let's start the insanity...
...Giddy up!
I've only been to 3 classes so far, and already, my head is going to explode.
It's not like the courses are difficult or anything: most of them look to be intellectually stimulating, to say the very least. It's just a lot to wrap my head around, especially since those three classes had actual lectures involved. Usually on the first night, the prof hands out the syllabus (course outline), tells us what's involved in the class, then sends us off on our marry ways. When they start lecturing in the first week, I always feel like I'm being thrown into the frey. I prefer to ease in.
That, and ALREADY I've got a handful of assignments coming due soon, and a whack in November, but I want those out of the way Asap, because of Nanowrimo. We'll see.
Things seem to be going well otherwise. We had a Magic the Gathering gathering last night, which was awsome! I've discovered a love of kick-your-ass-on-the-quick creature decks, and I'm beginning to understand the logic of tokens. Geoff was explaining the game to Nathan, and I was able to catch a few things that I didn't understand before. Geoff's an awsome teacher, because he can break things down into easy to get pieces, and he's relaxed enough that he can get from point A to point X without getting flustered, like I do.
I'm glad that Nathan is weaving into my group this easily. I was worried that he might be a bit "too much" for people to handle: he can be very talkative, and makes jokes that sometimes seem off-colour, but so do the rest of us, which works well. He's culturing Danny a bit, which he needs, and he and Tabetha hit it off royally when he brought up his religious beliefs.
I'm still worried that things are moving too fast. Nathan keeps assuring me that he'll wait as long as I need him to, for anything, but... I guess I've just never been in a relationship like this. I want to wait more. Neither of us want it to be about sex, and that's working out well...
I don't want to tell him this: but I'm worried that maybe he is the one. I mean, after what Mom and Dad said, and my feelings all summer about watching others get married and such... As much as I want it, as much as I want someone beside me, I want to be alone too. I'm really getting a feel for myself, and I feel like I"m really coming into myself as a person. But I keep coming back to Dogma (yeah, the movie), and Alan Rickman ("The Metatron")'s line about Bethany stating that everything she was was a lie:
"You are Bethany Sloan, and even God himself can't take that away from you... Now, just be this too."
Can I be and become myself, and be his too? Maybe that's something I have to find out along the way... One of many lessons along the path.
God, now I'm getting all philosophical. I blame Nathan. His religious/philosophical views are rubbing off on me.
That's it for now, I guess. I have an "early" seminar in the morning, and should go to bed.

So, looks good so far. I'm waiting to hear back from Prof. Plumstead to see whether I can stay in Romance or not, since I didn't take the prerequisite.
But, some may be asking, why the change to Philosophy of Love and Sex? What happened to Adult and Child? Well, that, friends, is an adventure in Academic Advising I hope never happens again...
I went to see the Advisor today. I don't like the one I always end up stuck with, because she has this habit of making me feel like a complete moron, and I don't like feeling that way when it's not deserved. In any case, I sit down with her, and after some fiddling around, she finally does an audit of my cources to see where I'm at. After a few minutes and puzzled glances, she finally looks up and says: "Well, it's a good thing you came in here... You're Short!"
I stare at her like she has 3 heads and a purple horn. Short? But last year, the other advisor, Derrek, told me that I was fine! No, she says... This course, this course and this course don't count, but these ones, which aren't supposed to, will, because you're in Liberal Arts, and therefore you're 6 credits short to graduate.
Fuck.
So what do I do? Now I look like a deer in the headlights, and she's re-counting. "Well, I know it will bring your average down, but why not give up re-taking this Psych?" Well, yeah, I stammer, I guess I could... But I need a higher average this year, and I don't really have anything else I can take...
"Well, you can pick up one more full year first year course, or check out a few of the new options...Or something like (she wrinkles her nose) Philosophy of Love, or something..."
Bingo!
So that's how it happened. Besides, it's frigging SEX and LOVE. The two things I bitch about most, and their impact on modern culture. Hello, BIRD COURSE!! Woot.
Other than that, not much of intrest has been going on. Vanessa and I have been talking a lot more recently, which is good. We used to hate eachother, because she's Todd's Ex (like, nearly got married ex...), and he was sleeping with me at the same time he was sleeping with her, but it appears that our mutual "hatred" of that rancid sack of pond scum (which I say with the utmost love and respect...) has helped us develop an interesting bond. That, and we actually have quite a bit in common. So, that's cool. I love making new friends!
So, I don't really know what to do with myself now. That hour of waiting for an advisor, the 15 minute flurry of "Holy crap, I'm not gonna graduate!" and the following mad rush of drop/register/email everyone the new schedual kinda took its tole on me. Plus, I think both Mike and Josh are sick, which is making me leery of expending too much energy. I don't want whatever they've got. So I might just curl up and read. That's probably something I should do a LOT more of before the year starts up. I'm almost done Amber Spyglass (which means a little less than half-way through), and I've got about 4 billion other books to read... Maybe I should get cracking. And now that I don't have to review all my development notes, I'll have time for that.
Or I could take a nap. Whatev.

Quick Note:
I had to turn off the comments section on the last post, because some moron spammed me. If you want to comment on "A Truly Epic Misadventure", please feel free to post on this thread.
I've been thinking about the whole situation, and I realized a few things:
First:
You know, his wife won't let him leave the house except to go to his mother's, she takes all his money and gives him an allowance... she won't even kiss him anymore. I figure, if he didn't do this with me, it would have been someone. And obviously he doesn't feel guilty about it, since he wants to see me again tomorrow, so why should I? I haven't decided whether I should see him again before my October break, but that's beside the point.
...There was a second point, but I've forgotten it. I know that I'm really just trying to convince myself that what happened wasn't wrong. I mean, it wasn't right, and it wasn't smart, but as long as the wife doesn't find out, no one really gets hurt. I don't want a relationship with him...
The problem, of course, being that he *wants* to tell his wife.
See? I'm like a moth light for crazies.
In happier news, I move up north on Saturday. Yays! I'm done work on wednesday, and the following wednesday (the 24th), the new washer and dryer will be arriving! Sweet...Front load, large capacity... *drools*.
I get my hair cut on Tuesday of this week. I'm thinking of a more Tori Amos look this time around. Long-er than I usually leave it, more focused on the curl, a deeper red, maybe some highlights... Or highlights later, or something. I want to do something more...more feminine this time. I'm thinking I might want to lose the militant attitude for something more... friendly. That's the recomendation at least. People don't want to stop and get to know me if they have to break a rock-hard surface to get to the chewy, melty centre...
Why do I always make myself sound like a candy bar?
Anyways, I have to be up in 5 hours. I should go sleep. Tomorrow, if I get time, I'll explaine the science of Golf Cart Polo.
Shwing!

Mmm...Sundays.
I had a really cool day today.
I woke up early (well, early for me: 9am), and read more of The Subtle Knife, which I'm now half-way through. I hope to be finished it this week, so I can start on The Amber Spyglass, which is the longest of the three. I want to have it mostly done BEFORE I go up north, because a few of the books in que are rather...well, the printing is small.
Then I did some laundry, finished vacuuming (I know it doesn't sound "epic", but vacuuming constitutes an Olympic Sport in our house), read some more, and had a copy o the Victoria's Secret Catalogue sent to the new place... I hope the guys don't mind. :)
So, here's my opinion so far on the books I've read:
Golden Compass
A good read! It took me a moment to figure out that their world has similarities to ours, but in more of an almost "fairy-tale", "Brothers Grimm" sense, with witches, talking animals and the like. There was a lot of suspense, and a lot of things that kept me on my toes... But you did have to really focus on details in some spots. Pullman does a good job of keeping those details in the open, but it's not like they're laid out, which was nice. I don't know if I'd call it a kid's book though... I'd reccomend it for maybe 10-12 year olds, as there is some violence.
Subtle Knife
Caught my attention at the beginning: it takes a bit to figure out where you are and what's going on. The series is "set" in England, or variations of England, so that was kind of confusing for someone like me who has never been there (though, I'm sure I could ask my grandparents if I got really confused). After the first two chapters or so, things started to get confusing: Pullman alternates between the children's journey, and the people in Lyra's world who are searching for her, and for answers to what is happening to their world. To be honest, so far I like the story taking place in Lyra's world more than what's happening to Lyra, because her story is currently more of a fact finding mission than anything "adventureous". I am anxious to see what has happened to some of the characters from the previous story, though I'm not sure how I feel about where the story's going... Maybe I'm just not far enough in.
In any case, Tomorrow I start back on the days shift, my most hated of all shifts. I don't like getting up at 5am for any reason. Dad even wakes me up at 7.30am on Christmas morning, and I'm usually grumpy to get out of my nice, soft, warm, comfy bed.
Wow, that sounds really good right now.
Right, then I'm off. I will likely update again tomorrow with information about my November plans. That's right, Sarah, I'm planning ahead this year, and already have the basic idea for my NaNoWriMo novel, Sweet Hearts! Also, I've been having strange dreams lately, and need soome help with interpretation...
G'night!

First off, thanks to Jim, who emailed me about my last post. I'm ok, I was just venting and ranting at the same time, which can get rather violent. :)
So, tonight I attended Gayle's Fantasia Party, which wound up being a party of two... I was the only one who showed. It was still fun, though! I bought "Tickle Her(tm) Pink!" and "Tickle Her(tm) Nipple!", as well as a very hot light blue... langer-eh. Yeah, I can't spell, but y'all know what it is. There's a top piece made of lace with little bows at the bottom and lace thong panties. It makes me feel like a fairy queen! lol!
After some chit-chat and cheesecake, Gayle also loaned me some shoes she bought in Italy. I'm in Love. See that? CAPITOL L-LOVE!! These things are beautiful! black pattent lether, a mesh cover, open toe, 6" heel and 2"sole on the toe... *drools* And I can walk in them, too! I'm working on dancing, but I'm still a bit wobbly. I have a week to learn to move in them before I move back up north and start saving for my own pair. It's hard work, though. My calfs and thighs were aching after a bit of strutting around.
Today was VERY productive for me, though. I cleaned like a mad-woman, vacuumed, did laundry, packed up some books and things...Of course, my bed is covered in misplaced objects, and my sheets are still on the line (I'll get them in the morning), so I'll be camping out on the floor tonight, but hey, small price to pay for a clean room.
I started a Wish List at Chapters.Indigo.ca, but because my internet is so slow, I'm going to resist adding to it until I get up there... I have a load of books that I'd like to have, including Grimm's Grimmest, which I've wanted for years.
I should probably head for bed though. I start on my last full week of days next week, and I want to try and get up early tomorrow so Monday isn't hell. At least tomorrow, if I get up at 7am, and stay up until at least 6pm, I know I'll sleep Sunday night. I hope...
I'm sure I'll get chance to update tomorrow. I have some more laundry to get done, and some more cleaning to do, obviously, plus I need to water my herbs, as they're all dying of dehydration, but I want to get onto the Fredericks of Hollywood website and start having catelogues delivered to Mike's. Before I get up there. Just so he knows what he's in for.

Sweet & Sour
I'm back, again. I got my computer back tonight, so I should be updating, or at least writing, more consistantly in the near futiure.
First of all, an update on the booklist mentioned in the previous post. I've finished the Nora Roberts trilogy, and am now working on the Golden Compass, which is rather... difficult to read. I'm not sure I'd call it a children's book, just because it seems a little too involved for the attention span of most pre-teens I know. Also, I've gone on a bit of a spree at Coles (there was a sidewalk sale on!), and bought myself copies of Dracula, Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass, Wuthering Heights (which I read in highschool, and actually enjoyed) and the "Adult Cover" versions of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and Chamber of Secrets. So, yes, I'm actually going to read the Potter books. Also, my grandmother gave me her copy of Little Women for class, and when I flipped through it last night, I realized that it's not as much like the movie as I had hoped. Oh, well...I guess movies are never quite accurate. Coles called yesterday to inform me that the rest of my KidLit books are in, too, so...Yeah. Massive reading coming up.
Work's same old, though there have been some interesting, yet wholey dissappointing plot developments in the personal aspect of things. Nothing that I feel like discussing yet though. The only important thing is that I'm still single, and without any...physical satisfaction as of yet. With the exception of the "blue pearl", which is a recent aquisition which I'm sure no one who reads this wants to hear about. (hint: bzzzzzzzz...)
Anyways, recent conversations/happenings have gotten me thinking about Love. Oh, god, I know, here we go again. I can't stop though; it's some kind of loop my brain's been caught in. Too many weddings/engagements/litters. There's always something that edges it back into focus, whether it's innane ramblings about when people should be starting families (and who should be allowed to start them in the first place), to discussions about boyfriends and wedding dresses. And babies. Friggin babies. I had a whole rant all geared up to go, and I've lost it in a fog of "holy mother of christ I need SLEEP". I'm sure it will come back. Right now, I'm going to go eat cookies and listen to Meteora. It's a good disc. Tomorrow, I will be perusing the shops of the Festival Market Place in Stratford, searching for bargins and little black dresses.
And NOT thinking about boys.

Salvage Operation
Right, so I got the essay done, just in the nic of time. Go me. Of course, after doing that, my brain was so fried that I wasn't able to study for my Forensic Psych test, which I bombed. Boo. But at least I went shopping. I've developed a strange friendship with yogurt... It's like, healthy ice cream. At least this time I smartened up and bought the fat-free stuff...
My life is, once again, a bit of a mess. And I've found the cause: My space. That's right, it's my room that's making my life hectic. I don't know if it's actually part of Feng Shui or anything, but I find that my room is literally sucking the energy out of me. I'll stand in the one clear patch of floor, staring at the mess feeling compleatly... unraveled. And then I go into Sarah's room... I feel much calmer. I think it's because the energy flowing through her room isn't being blocked by junk. Mine is.
So, tomorrow and Thursday are going to be my salvage days. Once I get my JavaScripting test over with tomorrow morning, I'll come home and immediatly do laundry and dishes... That should kill at least 45% of the clutter right there. maybe more...
I want to move things around... Change things up. I've almost come up with a floor plan that would allow me to do that without blocking my outlets and such. I need a change.
Todd and I had a very pleasent conversation tonight. It was like talking to him as though he was here. I can't wait to see him.
I think I'm going to sleep. I need fresh eyes for the morning. I'd like to figure out what's weighing me down... I feel lethargic a lot. Like I'm in that "sleep-fog" all day. I don't think that's just my room. We'll see.
One of these days, I'm going to get back to writing proper rants, like before. Right now, I'm just Working through the hard stuff. It's nice to know that people are seeing what I'm accomplishing (or not)... Feel free to comment on what I'm saying. Or, just let me know who is actually reading... Ok... Sleep now.
G'night.

Chaos Theory
NaNoWriMo Word Count: 0/50 000 (begins tonight at Midnight, and I just got home)
Things have been looking up muchly since my last post. People are returning to me, slowly but surely, my financial situation is looking less dire (or will be soon), and people around me are starting to treat me with more respect for what I give.
I haven't been sleeping, though. Which is proving to be a bit of a problem. At most, I'll get 4 hours a night, and in combination with a lack of food (due to the lack of funds), I can be both bitchy and loopy, often one followed directly by another. It's not good for myself or anyone around me... But I'm a night person. I stay up all night working, but sleep in the day. I wish this were a nocturnal's world... so much of society is based on the assumption that people like sleeping at night, and being out in the day time... Some places are 24-hours now, but still... I am the moon in a world governed by the sun.
I feel the need to wax poetic about... something. There's a rant/story/something brewing inside me, I can feel it... but not tonight. Tonight, I'm going to sleep.
