"You anticipate what I would say, though you cannot know how earnestly I say it, how earnestly I feel it, without knowing my secret heart, and the hopes and fears and anxieties with which it has long been laden. Dear Doctor Manette, I love your daughter fondly, dearly, disinterestedly, devotedly. If ever there were love in the world, I love her..." Dickens
I think I've got sleeping sickness (caused by a certain tse tse fly - some bio 210 for you). Or on a less dramatic note, I'm probably coming down with something, prolly from that dang flu shot. Last night we ate and drank free at the Grad House. It was sweet! Especially since I was quick enough to avert the Guiness for Keiths. Todd was the cutest Santa, with his black roots showing. Haha...
I have my dumb lab exam today. And then... we feast!
So... Microsoft it is... :p
I added a page today. It's called WHA'? I guess its my way of screaming out. I hate you co-op. I really do. Not that any of the poetry I wrote was about co-op, mostly old stuff that Ingi has read before. Just felt like expressing yo' self y'kno?
Tip of the day: Double the cream in your chocolate fondue recipe. Your stomach will thank you!
It's 2am. I suppose I should start my essay now, seeing as it's due today. Today was dedicated to play rehearsal. From 10am til 10pm. And the very cool part is that no one was even sick of each other by the end of it all. I love our cast.
Yesterday was a pretty mellow night with best friends. We had a little hot tub party, then we got a big tub of ice cream (tip: Caramilk ice cream isn't what its cracked up to be - Turtles is much better) and watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Who could ask for anything more?
I really love my roommates too. We sang Disney songs while fat snowflakes fell on our heads on our way home tonight. Then Becky gave me a special concert of the new songs she just wrote. I'm happy.
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way..."
- Dickens
Last night was the best and worst night of my life. Not to get all philosophical, but its incredible how things that were so clouded suddenly become so clear. Kind of like my Corporate Finance exam on Thursday...so many weights lifted off my shoulders in so little time. I'm getting anxious yet excited about the play next week. And mum called this morning to let me know she's coming to see me! I miss my mum so much...

Tip of the day: Dancer in the Dark is for the strong stomached...
My tip of the day is for real. I got serious motion sickness watching the new Bjork movie due to the weird style of cinematography. I liked it though, in that strange, trippy way. Not exactly a feel good type of show that's for sure; more like a sad but happy at the same time kind of movie. Anyway, this weekend was a pretty slow weekend in general. I jammed a bit on Saturday night, but only after a couple of beers so I felt sick after that. I think my body just wants to feel sick. As for Friday, can one person possibly sleep enough? Maybe that's the reason my body went into shock. I haven't slept this much since... probably since I was a fetus! Ah well. Rehearsal went well despite the lack of my husband. Its'all coming together... : )
Tip of the day: If you're soaked before you reach the end of McDougall, turn around and GO HOME!
This week reminded me of that "emotional roller coaster" they used to talk about in health class. Damn you hormones!
Week started out well, sushi night with Ingi,Karen... and a houseful of sushi vultures... but it was downhill from there. I don't think it was any particularly traumatic event, i've just felt so out of it. And that I don't know where my life is going. And then I pick up the latest copy of Victoria's Secret and feel the need to eat on behalf of those poor starving models.
Otherwise, rehearsals are getting funner and funner... is funner a word? eeh...
I can't wait til it snows! (hence the snowmen...)
Becky and I went on a little adventure today. I got waxed at a salon for the first time today and it was nothing like the pain people make it out to be. We also got mendhi which had such potential but now is nonexistent, very disappointing, as was our general shopping experience. But I got an inflatable chair and I may have found drums for myself, and because we felt sorry for ourselves we bought cake out of self pity... so the day wasn't a complete write off. Alls well that ends well, that's what I (and shakespeare) say.
In other news, I heard that there may be some incriminating Halloween photos floating around - seriously, that scares me. A lot. Speaking of halloween tho, i'm so sad I missed out on the kiddies that came to our house trick or treating. And only to come out of night lab smelling like formaldhyde. MMM!
Other than that, the weekend was pretty good. It was so nice to see my ma and pa again. And we found the best antique market in St. Jacobs, and quilt store (all I want is a flannel quilt before I die... and yellow flannel rodeo pj's from zellers too...), and bakery... GNAR! Oh yeah, I think I'm in love.
Tip of the week: Too much wiine can offend those around you... i'm talking major alkie scent!
Ok, so its been a busy few weeks. And busy includes lying out on the grass in between class. I seriously consider that a priority since it keeps a person sane. But my only regrets: missing 1 lecture, and mass this morning (sorry God!). I hate Corporate Finance. It was a sure fail but I pat myself on the back because I think it was a smart move on my behalf not to waste valuable brain space with that kind of mumbo jumbo.
This weekend was unexpectedly fun because Alyssa and Steve were in town for the weekend from beautiful BC so everyone came out. On Sat. Tom's party was KRAZY. We were saying how it was like those parties you see in the movies. Those architects really know how to do up a place in style; 3 rooms with ambient toonz, full bar, porn anime (thanx but no thanx), tea lights, decorations, and suckers everywhere... and there were just so many people there, some of whom I haven't seen in so long. So I had fun and danced it up all night but was feeling a little rough this morning.
Play rehearsal was fun but tiring today. The cast is effin' hillarious, and its only going to get better! I can't wait til we all get out lines down pat.
Other random comments: *Drum lessons-Matt is the cutest drum teacher in the world. He even wrote out notes and paradiddles for me and tips for practicing! What a sweet guy. Thanx to him me and the roomies jam sessions are progressing well. And the jam room is taking shape. Open mike night, here we come! *
* Weather was so nice so I went a-biking. I love my bike Moby. He's the love of my life right now. *
* Tomorrow I get to be an impostor! I was thinking about how much fun I could have with that but then remembered that it's Karen's reputation at stake so I'll behave. I've never pretended to be someone else before! (aside from all those times I dress in mens clothing of course...) *
* And last but not least... I just baked chocolate cookies. The easy pillsbury ghost ones, but effin' delish none the less. YUMM! *
