Grrr. Stupid advisor told me I was registering "April 5 11am". Well I tried and it wouldn't let me and I had to call her and she thought I was stupid because I'm actually registering tomorrow, but the email said today. She lied! She lied!!! I want to register now!!! That was a written contract!! It was!! Honest! Unless she meant April '05, which is just plain ridiculous. Ridiculous I say!
My eye itches. Caitlin told me to write that.
Karate was really cool last night. We just pummeled mitts and bags all night. You have no idea how wonderful it is to have pent up rage and get to take it out on a big pink blob. I had the karate joy of yore. And my knuckles still hurt to prove it! And the correct ones hurt as well, so I was doing something right, even though I know my form is awful, but there you go. That's what happens when you date the instructor, get broken up with, hang out with his other completely irreverant ex GF and lose all respect for the class and then don't go for months. But yes, last night was good. I may even ... go on Wednesday! Dun dun dun!!!!
OMG! Eddie for Pope! Yess! Yeees! And he could say "CIAO!" and ride a fucking hairdryer. Thanks Laney!

Mmm, my house smells of birthdays.
But now I'm pissed because my day was supposed to start all productive and with a sense of purpose about next semester and now I'm just frustrated!!!! Because I'll be in class from 11am-3pm tomorrow!!!!!!!!! This just plain SUCKS! I'll either have to skip class (which is attendance based and as we all know I've missed enough school this semester) or register later. And what's the fucking point of being a senior with all these credits if you don't get the benefit of registering early????
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, in other news, we should all cook dinner and watch Donnie Darko. ::nods head:: Sometime after Julie's done with her bizillion tests.

Yeah, yeah, I know. Fourth update of the day. I'm just pure evil.
I got my Starbucks case study back today. You know, the group project I bitched about for ages? Well, the grade was ... 100%. lol. Just goes to show I'm brilliant ... er, I mean that group projects are really a good thing? Nah! And I got 100% on my Legal Environment test too. Two perfect scores in one day, too good to last? Well yes, I only got a 95% on my Archaeology essay. I'm letting the side down :-p
I'm "studying" for my midterm on Wednesday. Only I can't concentrate because I'm pretty damn tired. And it's a really difficult midterm to study for because all the concepts are inter-related so I can't, for example, just define bipedalism. I have to do it as it relates to homo erectus, homo habilis, bone structure, etc. etc. I'm going to be a bad girl and take tomorrow off school. It's only two classes. French is just review and I can get the notes for Legal Environment. I really want to get myself sorted out, read through the chapters for the test, get my studying in order, and not exhaust myself by either staying up late tonight or getting up early tomorrow. (Because heaven forbid I should miss bowling!!) Just look at me trying to excuse my absences. It really makes me feel guilty, although I used to not even bat an eyelid. Have I developed a conscience since freshman year? I was the cutting queen back then! Class was completely optional. But now I'm going to be plagued by it even though I've only intentionally and maliciously cut one class all semester.
Anyway, for all those of you interested in Diana Wynne Jones (which I think is just ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) lilstars), and any of you who liked Spirited Away (sachideathblade lupicinus) or any of you who enjoy anime (emerald_shdw that means you :D) Howl's Moving Castle by the illustrious and magnificent Ms. Wynne Jones has been adapted into an anime film by the illustrious and eccentric Miyazaki, who did Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Castle in the Sky etc. Anyway, I'm excited so you all have to be too. I can't wait for it to come to theaters!! I literally grew up on Diana Wynne Jones books so I hope they haven't screwed it up.
Ok, bedtime.

I took lupicinus' advice today and didn't go and get a Starbucks, but instead donated money to help people affected by the tsunami. I think it would be great if other people could do the same at www.redcross.org :-) After all every bit helps! Hearing about this horrible disaster really puts my life into perspective. I just hope they're getting all the help we can give them.

I really want Randy right now. I'm totally tipsy. But I wish I could be with him right now :( There was like no possible way to go home with him though because I was with Ryan after bowling, so of course he could give me a ride straight home. Dammit! Sigh. Oh well, I'll just eat a bunch of ice cream instead. I just called him to see what time rock climbing is tomorrow - it's 8:15 and we're having breakfast on the beach. Awesome. Tonight I bowled a 150 (my best score ever!!!!!) and I think a 128. Apparently alcohol helps me bowl better :-) I had two Smirnoffs at Jessi's house, and then half of her drinks all night. I am not obsessed with Randy, but it's so nice to have someone to go to sleep next to ... *sigh* You don't understand how much I appreciate that! Oh well, rock climbing tomorrow, then class, then karate ... but if we don't do something after karate then when am I going to get to spend any time with Randy? Dammit, maybe I am obsessed :-/

Just about to set my journal to friends only. No particular reason, but everyone who reads it is on my friends list anyway. I might change it back in the future, who knows?
Uh, if you want to be added as a friend then just let me know!

Essay finito!
Sab said she'd proof read it and I need to do the bibliography, but that's all! So I get to watch 'Angel'. Woohoo!
Oh, Alanna and Sarah just came in to have a "talk" about the whole Sabrina/Geline situation. They hate each other, A and S are on Geline's side, I'm on Sabrina's side. They just wanted to tell me that they had nothing against me, and the feeling is mutual for the most part. But whatever problems I have I don't really care about because I'll be gone so soon there's no point worrying over them.
Sabrina doesn't always make it easy to be on her side though. She'll complain it's cold then walk around in shorts. She complains how no one cleans or does dishes, but she never does them. She complains about how Sarah and Alanna are immature, but that's just the way they are. She always she's being reasonable, when really she's being super prejudiced. Not that I really blame her for any of this because she's miserable, but it would be perhaps good if she was aware of it.

1,168/2,500 words, and it's only 7pm! Woo hoo! If I keep at it I shouldn't have to pull an all-nighter! I might even get to watch 'Angel' at 11pm .. mmmm, Angel, as the Furies would say :) Yees. So. Can I write a 1,000 words in three hours? Damn right I can! I just wrote 1,168 starting at 4pm, and that was with a break for dinner.
Ok, back to kivas and kachinas and Pueblos ... I'm writing about art and society in the Anasazi period (300-1300 A.D.) in the Southwest, just in case you wanted to know!!

Annoying person in coat sat next to me in Am. Hist. class this morning and inhaled his coffee. Didn't his mother ever tell him it's rude to slurp?
There's definately something wrong with me at the moment. As I left class my young Professor (who's actually kinda hot) was stood outside with his wife, holding his baby and smiling broadly while talking to a student, and I just thought "awwwww". Definately something amiss here.
Sent 7 Christmas cards. Apparently the cut off date for having them sent and them getting to their destination on time is coming up soon, so I'd better get on with the other half. Of course the 2,500 word essay I have due tomorrow takes slight precedence.
Just had a brief power cut. Better had not have another one because how will I write my essay then?
Why haven't maintenance come to fix the downstairs toilet yet? Called them last Friday and called them again yesterday to remind them, yet nothing has been done to rectify this problem!
I have a sticker collection. My housemates find this hilarious. Does anyone else have a sticker collection, or any other weird little collection they'd like to share with the group? I also collect all my movie stubs and have for the past five years. What an odd individual I am.

lala. Sabrina is on the phone to matt on my bed. lol. he called her, but maybe he'll talk to me afterwards ::crosses fingers in hope:: I wrote some Christmas cards today. I'm actually on time with it this year! Go me. I got a B on my research essay. While that's a perfectly good grade, I honestly spent SO much time on it and I thought it was the best one I've ever written, so it was a little disappointing to get a B. But at least I did put a lot of effort in or I might have got a worse grade. It basically means I don't think I'm going to be getting any A's this semester. :( That's what I get for partying and procrastination. The two P's.
Ooh, ok, Paulina sent me these photos of orly.
look at this one:

It's my Dad's birthday. Happy birthday dad. He forgot to call me this weekend!
Matt's being depressing. And also sweeter than hell. If hell is sweet. Well it's sweet for me if I want it to be seeing as I created it, but that doesn't stop the pain.
First day of December, first day of advent calendar chocolate. mmmmm.
Essay not written. Exams not revised for. Been working my ass off but don't feel any further forward. Deep sense of panic building in my stomach. Wish to god all my exams weren't in the first three days of the exam period. Why does Brock hate me so?
Deep breaths, deep breaths.
8 pages Am. Hist.
Notes, notes, notes, Nat. Am. Hist.
10:30pm hot chocolate.
11pm Daily Show?
Try and do more work. Resist talking to Matt. Only makes things worse.

What's that you say? It's journal updating time? Well indeed it is.
Let's see, where the hell did my weekend go? One minute I'm getting drunk Thursday night and the next it's Sunday afternoon!!!
Well Friday I was too hungover to accomplish much, but in the evening Alanna, Geline, Sabrina and I randomly hung out at the upstairs window and shouted at passing boys. There were some quite cute ones who tried to get into our house, but they looked like they were about 15!! There were also some really gross pot smokers we sent away. Then there were two Turkish/Israelian guys who went over to Hank's so we went over to bug them. One of them, Roy, played guitar and he was really good. Got to love guitar playing men. His voice was awesome! So we danced around like idiots and sang along (he didn't know any Rod Stewart or Live though so Alanna had to sing it for him :)) We were really just big dorks but it was fun. Hank knows as much about movies as I do so we had a converation about Warwick Davis and Val Kilmer that left everyone else confused. Yes for random and useless movie knowledge!! It rocks my socks.
Yesterday kinda sucked. No, actually, it really sucked. First of all I triple booked myself. I promised to go to the light show in Toronto with Jo, to the outlet malls with Sabrina and her sister and to the international christmas dinner with Harri. Now, if British people had any sense then it could all have worked out ok. I could have gone to the mall with Sab and Harri could of come with me to Toronto. But no, fucking Jo, Le and Nic decide to go 7 hours early. Oh whoopee. So I have to get up at 10am when I didn't go to bed until 3am, and then hang around shops all day. I'm not doing Christmas presents this year and I don't have any money even if I was. I was exhausted and cold and fed up and stuck hanging around Le, who I hate. She thinks she's so smart but she knows nothing and is so boring. I hate her, I really do. Ok, random example of why she gets on my nerves. I let Jo borrow my pen while we were in the bus terminal, then as we were getting on the bus I said "Oh, can I have my pen back?" And Le jumped in, shouting in her voice that is like nails on a chalk-board, "It's just a pen! You don't need it back! Let her keep it!" Well for a start, fuck you Le, it's my fucking pen and I'll fucking well ask for it back if I want it!! And then Jo said "Oh, I was just going to keep it." I wanted to fucking slap her. They were trying to make ME feel guilty for asking for MY pen back!! I know it's a minor issue, but when I lend something to someone I expect to get it back. And seeing as I only have two pens in this country I fucking well needed it back. So fuck you all. And fuck you Jo because you borrowed $70 off me and didn't pay it back for over a month so that's the last time I'm lending you anything.
Ok, so the shopping trip was long and dull and so fucking crowded. The mall was packed. I was really not in the modd. I bought three CDs and that was it. I sat in Chapters for half an hour looking at and Escher book until everyone came over and started bugging me. Hello, I was trying to get away from you people! And no one knew who Escher was. Fucking un-cultured English idiots.
So then we went to see the light show. It was fucking packed and freezing. I literally could not feel my hands. I tried to do up my shoe laces and it took me about five minutes because I couldn't move my fingers properly. It's Novemeber, in Toronto at 7pm at night. It's cold. And everyone's like "Oh, you're only cold because you didn't grow up in Britain." Well for a start, I DID grow up in Britain, I was there until age 13. And you know what? I was cold while I lived there too!! Some people just don't have very good heating systems in their bodies!! And for another fucking thing it's hardly fucking warm in Arcata either. Anyway, I was miserable. The light show was unimpressive and really quite boring. Nic wandered off and we couldn't find her for half an hour. The fireworks were ok, but I've seen much better ones in Florida.
So then we go to the bus terminal at 8:30pm. The next bus left at 10:30, except for oh wait, that one doesn't run on a fucking weekend. There was no coach between 7:30pm and 11:15. I was sat in that fucking bus terminal for almost three hours. It was a day from hell. And now I'm exhausted today and SO behind on my work because we had to spend 12 fucking hours in Toronto yesterday. Needless to say, I am not a happy camper.

Well I bet I spent my thanksigiving in a very different way to all you yanks :-p
I talked to my sister on the phone for an hour because it was her birthday. Then to my mum for an hour because she usually calls on Saturdays but she's going to see my sister this weekend so won't be able to.
For dinner I had left-over stir fry while sitting in front of the TV and watching 'The Simpsons' by myself. Then I did some work (gasp! Shocking, I know!) Watched some makeover show with Alanna then some cheesy cop show with Sab and Alanna that had Pamela Anderson in it.
At midnight we realized we'd got nothing accomplished and we were just sat watching TV. So we floated the idea of going out. I'd already asked everyone to go party with me, but everyone said they had too much work. Well we decided to hell with that. Alanna, Geline and I were going out. Geline is underage, but that doesn't stop us!! She'd got the most god awful fake ID from Bianca that looks nothing like her and we were gonna try it at the campus bar. So I jump in the shower to shave and we start drinking, fast.
While getting changed I had about ... 10(?) swigs of vodka straight from the bottle. Remember how much vodka was left, Ryan? Well it's pretty much all gone :)
We all dressed like sluts, I randomly talked to Matt online while drunk and told him he should be here, which he should. Well he should of been waiting for me when I got back from the bar because it's no fun going to the bar with people who don't dance! I sent him a pic of me dressed up and he said I looked hot :) He also said I was drunk ... which was a valid observation.
At 1am we got to the bar. The bouncer stared long and hard at Geline and her ID. He knew it wasn't her, and he asked her what school she went to, what was her postcal code, did she wear contacts and is that why her eyes were a different colour to the picture ... lol, it was hilarious, but she completely pulled it off. She acted all impatient, like why aren't you letting me in? And she answered all the questions perfectly, so they let her in!!!
So we buy drinks and go dance!! Only thing was I had to keep pulling down my skirt because it was so fucking short!! But yeah, dancing was mucho fun. It was really packed in there because everyone was having a last fling before exams. Some dirty guys danced with Geline and me but we got shot of them. It was soooo fun.
After we got back I my memory starts blanking out. I remember sharing a bowl of zoodles with A and G and having something else to drink, then barely being able to walk and drinking a lot of water. Then we go back out. I don't really remember anything after this point.
Apparently we went to Rich's where he was having a drinking contest with Chris. And Rollercoaster Ryan had got the most godawful mullet ever!! I saw it again today and it's hideous!!! We also apparently went to court 10, and randomly pulled a lawn chair out of a tree and brought it back to our house! It's sat in the lobby right now to prove it! I honestly don't remember going to Rich's or court 10.
When we got back I wanted fries, so I pulled a pack of tater-totters out of the freezer that wasn't mine, turned the oven on and cut up a pineapple. It wasn't my pineapple, but Geline and I thought it would be cool to cut it up ... Then I decide that I'm tired so I turn the oven off, leave the taters out and go to bed, in jeans that are covered in mud!! Someone knocked on my window at about 4:30am. I bet it was Proctor Ryan. I should of opened the window and shouted "I don't need you! I've got another guy to reject me now!!"
lol, anyway this morning our kitchen was a disaster zone, Alanna and Geline filled me in on the parts of the night I don't remember and my hangover is surprisingly mild considering I drank so much it erased my memory!! It's cool that I got so drunk that that happened, but it would be scary if A and G hadn't been there to keep me safe.
I really need to go out last night. I know I'd just been out last Saturday, but I needed this. For a start I'm leaving Canada soon so I have to make the most of the bar lifestyle while I still can. But mostly it's because I've been strangely depressed all week. I think it's mostly from exhaustion, but going out really boosted my happiness levels. I got to be crazy and insane and drink myself into oblivion and have a great time doing it. Now I am pretty much un-depressed.

So it's American Thanksgiving again. Not Canadian, not British. Hey, we don't have Thanksgiving in Britain, what do we have to be thankful for? We only decimated the native populations in foreign countries, not our own. But whatever, I'm still thankful, perhaps I'll try and inspire people to be thankful-ish around the house. Do I have enough food for that? Probably not :( So, things that I am thankful for, which are sappy and silly and things that I don't usually say, but hey, it's a holiday based on disease and lies, so what better time to say them? ( Read more... )

Ok, I'll try and update everything that's happened over the last few days, but I will inevitably leave out many things ...
Friday Ryan called to say he got the early flight so I frantically rushed to get my essays finished - in the end Sabrina had to hand them in for me because I had to get the bus downtown. I got an earlier one thinking the coach left at 12:55, but it actually left at 12:25!! Damn good job I went early! The coach ride was uneventful. I fell asleep, woke up again at Union Station. Got off at Bay Street and followed Jo's instructions to the airport. Had to get Southbound subway to St. George, then westbound to Kipling, then get the bullet to the airport. Then I got off at the wrong terminal. Thought he'd be international in terminal 3, but actually he was terminal 2! So I was wandering around wondering why the hell his flight wasn't showing on the boards, and in the end had to ask. Got a shuttle to terminal 3 and got there at 3:15 - right when his flight was due, but he was 40 minutes early!! So jumped on him from behind and we got a taxi back to the bus terminal. Did that instead of subwaying and bussing because if we missed the 4pm coach we'd be stuck there until 6pm! Taxi cost a ridiculous amount, but whatever. On coach Ryan said he never sleeps on coaches and I said I would stay awake to see when we got to St. Catherines, we both promptly fell asleep. Woke up again outside a Petsmart which just happened to be the one where I got both Koolaids!
Got taxi to Brock university, then went inside to be greeted by a house decorated from head to foot with condoms!! It was a cocktail and condom extravaganza!! Except for the cocktails were really just mixed drinks ... but whatever :) My wonderful housemates had set up an entire bar using a fridge that was filled with alochol! Andy was the bartender and he did a good job. Matt and Terri were also there and we had a fun time getting drunk-ish. Not blind drunk that night though. Lots of fun was had with condoms ... and not in a bad way! We stole them all from the health centre. Yay for free decorations!
Saturday morning Sab and I cooked scrambled eggs, bacon and toast. Then Ryan and I went round the campus taking dorky photos, then for dinner Sabrina and I cooked a feast! We made chicken parmesan using a recipe I got off the net. It turned out really well, I thought. A damn good meal. Geez, we're such housewives... lol. That night after dark we went to the Niagara Falls light show. We missed the fireworks, but the falls were still coloured with the blood of virgins ... er, I mean, coloured lights :) It was rather wet and cold though, but fun.
When we got back Alanna and Sarah had their gay brigade round. I only mention this because Andy and Matt are homophobes and sat cowering in the corner! It was really quite amusing. Sab even asked me to go protect them while she went upstairs to change! A and S's friends are cool though. Ryan and I did lots of jello shots and swigged a little vodka from the bottle .. then we slowly made our way to the bus stop and missed the bus. Sarah fell down a leg of the Brock bullet (#1 place on campus to have sex!) and we all stood around being drunk and cold! Cold sobers you up fast though, so not fair! A and S tried to flag down taxis, buses, random cars ... until eventually the right bus came and we went downtown to Bucks.
Ryan did a couple of vodka shots (v. impressive Ry :) ) then we drank sprite-vodka mixes. I got to dance for a little while with him, S and A but I felt guilty because Andy and Matt don't really dance and Sab was over with them, so I went to hang out with them, leaving Ryan in the capable hands of my two drunk and insane roomates who were having bets about picking up the ugliest guys possible! The fact that I stopped dancing had nothing to do with the fact that I wanted to spend more time with Matt :: shakes her head :: definately not. ;-) Anyway, Ryan raised a storm dancing, and we went home some time in the wee hours, sat up talking for a while then all went to bed.
Sunday Matt and Andy left :( I made British pancakes for A, S and Ryan, and I think they turned out well! Then we had a pretty lazy day and just sat around talking! Oh! And despite having had two parties our house was pretty clean. That is until I opened the baking cupboard and soy sauce rained down upon me!! The bottle fell off the shelf, the top cracked open and it span around at my feet spraying sauce on the walls, ceiling, shower curtain and floor, but amazingly not on me!! It made more mess than both parties combined and looked really disgusting!!
I wrote the worst essay of my academic career for which I deserve to be kicked out of university, and went to bed some time Sunday night, got up again at 5am to finish it, went back to bed, got up again at 8am to print it and hand it in at the deadline hour of 9am, then went back to bed again until midday!
When I got up again Ryan, Nic and I went to Niagara Falls because I thought Ry should see it in the daytime too. It is one of the natural wonders of the world after all! It was cold and wet again!! We also went to the mall and had dinner at JJ Capps. Thanks for treating, Ryan :) We went to LCBO and bought some alcohol, got pissed at Blockbuster for not having 'Equilibrium' (or at least I did!), then came back and watched 'Bulletproof Monk' and three episodes of 'Buffy' ('Doppelgangland', 'Hush', and 'Something Blue') and drank mudslides which were quite frankly disgusting!! Also made some cupcakes, which Ryan managed to spin around my kitchen :)
Tuesday we got up and got on a coach to Toronto. Missed the right bus stop and had to subway it back to union, which was actually fortunate because we got to walk through the skyway to the CN tower. It was so fricking cold outside (about 3 degrees) so I was glad to be inside!!
We went all the way to the top in the Skypod, to the highest observation deck in the world! Good views :) Kinda scary looking down through the glass thinking that's all that's between you and a horrible, screaming and rather messy death ... yeah :) Went back down, lay on the glass floor, jumped on the glass floor, stuck my tongue out at the glass floor and went outside where it was fucking freezing!!
After that we came back down and went on a wild goose chase for a coffee shop! Stupid financial district and its lack of Starbucks!! Eventually found a Tim Hortons and sat in the window with our hot chocolates and wrote postcards.
After that had to do the whole subway, bus thing to the airport, where Ryan checked in electronically! The coolest invention ever :) Said goodbye *sniff* then bussed, subwayed, coached, and bussed back to Brock. Didn't get back until 8pm!!
At which point I had to start my research essay due Thursday. Had a horrible feeling in my stomach like I was going to throw up, a headache and couldn't sleep at all because I knew I couldn't write the fucking thing. Went to my instructor today and he gave me a one week extension!! No questions asked. Must have been the desperate/demented look in my eyes!
Today didn't really do much. Relaxed. Felt I deserved to :)
Had a great weekend, thanks for coming Ryan!!!!! See you soon!! Hope you have a good Thanksgiving.
And the same to everyone else in America, Happy Thanksgiving!!

Yes, yes, I know, I'm staying off the internet this week, but screw that! I just got the sweetest e-mail from my American history professor!! He said I should have got an A on my first essay in his class (which I got a C on because his TA marked them) and that I should get an A on the rough draft of this essay I sent him! And that it was elegantly written! Woo hoo. Really needed that boost to my confidence seeing as I'm floundering amidst essay upon essay. I just hope I can revise it well enough that he will still be impressed!!!
But JESUS CHRIST I HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO.
