Life has been insane lately. Just totally overwhelming. I'm currently trying to decide what to do with my time. My daycare job is giving me less hours than I had hoped for, so now I've got to find some other job so I can make money through May and June. Bah. Oh well, the stress will hopefully subside and I'll have a huge moment of clarity. Otherwise I'm just trying to see folk and get my sleep schedule back to normal. Highspeed internet comes tomorrow which will result in much cheerf...
I'm setting some goals for tomorrow. Not big goals. Just little ones. I want to do some writing and I want to clear out my e-mail inbox because I'm really tired of this hotmail bull-jive. Tomorrow I will also make some phone calls, possibly go out for lunch with someone, and have me a movie date with Phantom. We rented Dirty Pretty Things tonight but never got around to watching it. He's been so good to me lately! Everything just makes sense when we fall into each others arms. And the...
Well all being well my Tama and my Jess are off marching and waving their vaginas proudly in Washington D.C today. Hopefully the weather wasn't as miserable there as it was here! I'm really disappointed that I couldn't go with them, but it was just bad times. The family needed me here, and I have trouble refusing such things. I need to see them soon though because I'm feeling all out of touch. I hope they don't hate me too much for not coming! I'm sad I had to miss it. But alas I've ...
I have to say that DJs with attitude really piss me off. I'm talking specifically about school dance DJs. This has been a problem for me since way back in grade eight when I tried to get the DJ to play Jimi Hendrix's "Foxy Lady" at our dances and he laughed at me. Bastard. Well I just watched "She's All That" which, back in the day, Helen and I used to watch all the time. It has an awesome prom dance sequence to Fat Boy Slim's "Funk Soul Brother", and last year at my prom I tried to get ...
Tederick caught me. I'm home, I've just been hiding. Well not really. I've been trying to unpack and spending time with family and Phantom and I just haven't called anyone. And the annoyingly slow internet has deterred my blogging until now. And the lack of msn may actually kill me. Well that's not true, it's just a pain in the ass. But I think I'm ready to start calling folk now. Moving back is proving to be stressful. Mostly because I have so much stuff to organize that I feel li...
I'm moving home today, which I suppose is fitting because on this day last year I received my acceptance letter to The University of Guelph. FULL CIRCLE! It's all very surreal. I've taken all of my pictures down, and am in the process of packing. Packing is really frustrating when all of the suitcases and bags that I originally moved in with are back home, so I'm filling plastic bags with my breakables and kitchen stuff and it all makes me very nervous. I had to take a break because of t...
It's beautiful outside and I'm trapped at my desk procrastin... I mean studying. Not cool. I'm not looking forward to my exam tomorrow. There's a lot I need to go over and review and I just don't want to. I'd rather be outside lying in the sun listening to music. I would have finished a lot of review yesterday but I seem to have immaculate procrastination skills. Blast my procrastination skills! Last night as Jess, Tama and I were avoiding work we decided that we needed a party trick...
Pleasureful isn't a word. Yet I've been using it a lot lately. I don't know why, it just seems right. Pleasurable just takes too long to say. And I have a hard time claling it up in my mind. And believe you me I talk about pleasure a lot. I get caught everytime I use the word pleasureful though, because apparently it only sounds right to me. Oh well.
I'm really bored. But I'm too awake to sleep, and not awake enough to study. Phantom just sent me a movie that is possibly the sweetest thing in the entire world. Sweet and funny. I'm looking forward to having lots of time with him in the next two weeks. People are starting to move out of rez. It's really strange to walk around and see the empty beds everywhere. I feel like I should do some sort of residence/first year university wrap up. Not tonight, but I"m sure it will happen. It'...
Well I survived yet another exam today. No more English for awhile now. It went fairly well, and now I'm going to have to focus in on Spanish for Friday morning. I'm all stressed out though. I can tell because although I seem relaxed my stomach is incredibly upset, and it tends to know when I'm stressed better than I do. I assume that the sure is movies and button making. I could be wrong though. I'm currently upstairs in a room filled with studiers, but we've been discussing the evi...
I just found out that I got the highest mark in my seminar on our final essay, and the second highest mark for participation. Very exciting! Especially since participation is not my strong point. In fact that's what brought my acting mark down. Ah well. The past few days have been family filled. (Both my own, and someone else's). My aunt, uncle and cousins came to visit on Friday for a quick campus tour and some dinner. It was so great that they could come down. Jess and Tama came ...
It's true, Archie's home town was very monocultural. We're making buttons. Lots and lots of buttons. I feel like an independent activist artist creative brilliant button making superstar. I'm gonna have so many buttons. So far my personal favourite is the Buddy Christ button from Dogma. What else will I think of to press into a perfect plastic-y metal-y point-y button form?!? This is the perfect thrill? I want a button maker for my birthday. It would be a promising business investe...
The warm weather makes me want to bust out my hippy garb and start singing. I put on my Jimi Hendrix Experience tonight and had flashbacks to lying on the Leaside hill with Phantom after classes listening to our Hendrix and soaking up the sun. I'm really looking forward to some springtime freedom. All of my past early summer experiences revolved around highschool, so this whole free-time and working business is going to be a new one. But the more I think of it the more I want to grab my s...
I came back to Guelph yesterday morning for a day of thrilling women's studies studying. The exam is done, and I am happy. I don't think I wrote enough, but I'm hoping the essays are as quality as I thought the were... Whatever, one down two more to go. I got back from the exam at nine and watched Arrested Development with everybody. Apparently while I was gone they developed a new obsession. So we watched three episodes, and some SNL, and I talked to Phantom and that was my night. I a...
Well I've been home for a couple of days which has made the blogging more difficult. It's funny, I actually miss the ol' residence. It is good to be home though, besides the fact that my mom has been telling me that I look like hell, and that my dad is being incredibly insensitive. Oh well. Otherwise it's all good. Saturday I started my day off with some yoga with Matt. Which was all good. But my shoulders were really sore. After we went for coffee where I gave him an exciting pre...
