There's a Thought

First, before I start on today, I must comment on a thought that hit me yesterday. I had just gotten home from the gym (post shower...I was no longer stinky), made myself something to eat, and sat for a moment. I was preparing myself to watch a very contraversial movie (which shall remain unnamed), regarding homosexual activity in America, in particular small towns, and I was also going over my earlier class dealing with the standard of life in the London slums of the turn of the century and the atrocities that happened within them. It was somewhere between the gay rights, and the rights of the poor that a very pivotal thought hit me: ichiban is very very tasty. I mean, it's been a staple of my diet for the past four years (a starving student, what can I do?) and I never get tired of the stuff. It's like a little piece of Japanese cuisine heaven (though I'll take sushi over it anytime). This led me to realize how completely random my mind is. On to today. I am sitting here, waiting for Karen to get out of class so that we can play, and angry over the prices the bookstore charges for its books. My brother left for home yesterday. It was very difficult watching him leave this time. I guess, I'm getting used to him always being here (for Chawn), and it really leaves a hole in our home when he goes. I was also sad because my folks couldn't make it this weekend, but I know they were really sad about it too. Aside from that, my weekend was one of booze, boys and beauties (I was a beauty ;) ) Chawn cut my hair on Thursday, and it is once again shoulder length...which I actually really like. It's been a long time since its been this short. I think the last time was when Jamie cut my hair about four or five years ago. How time flies when you are in the throw of school caused depression. Aside from that, not much is new. Getting the usual kitten cuddles. (I love my kitty!)(I love Chawn's kitty too!) They are way too spoiled with love and the like. Arg! Damn my constant but enivetable downfall to kitty charms! (I know my spelling sucks). Oh, really funny thing. I have officially gotten my brothers hooked on one of the shows of one of my gods, Joss Whedon. They are now very much into the short lived (but incredibly fantastic) show Firefly. Seriously, watch it. You won't regret it. And with the memory of one of my two gods still firmly in our minds, I shall leave. After all, this could only get better if I mentioned the other one. ... ... ... DAVID GROHL! More strangeness yet to come.

The Prestine Power of Peaches

I am proud of me today. Very proud...more proud than I usually am. Why so proud you may ask. Well, I shall tell you. Today, in order to accomplish some of my readings, I took a new approach: I read while working out. I was amazed at how well it worked...I got thirty pages of my book read. It is very, good...noir-ish. And I got to work out, which makes me all proud of me. Also, today was another old crush day. Run into one at the gym, and another smoking outside...I was unimpressed with him, which he knows. Also, I learned two very interesting things today: January 23rd has been proven to be the most depressing day of the year, because of Christmas debt, and the gloom, and the dark. And #2, the lady who taught me Highland dancing, a family friend, is actually quite well known in the dancing world. A girl in one of my classes dances highland and has heard of my old teacher. I was like, "wow, small world". We also studied Jack the Ripper, in class today, and saw pictures and got details and the like. It was kinda disturbing, but on the whole, really intruiging on the whole. Grisly and gruesome, yet very sensationalized. And for now, that is all. We now anxiously await the return of Tyrel, Chawn and I for different reasons, but also just for the chance to hang out with him...isn't he popular? And I digress (spelling? ah well). More strangeness yet to come.

Ebay?...EBUY! Damnit!

Ok, another beautiful Tuesday morning in the lower mainland. Egads. I'm gonna start this blog off with a great big hug to my friend John. It's from Chawn, myself and Jamie...we're all here for you. Now, on to the crisis at hand: Chawn's major addiction to Ebay, and the effects on me. Or rather my debt to my brother. Chawn gained her addiction from Tyrel (who, I'm sure I've mentioned before, is her boy toy) and in turn, gave it somewhat to me. Although we are pondering how to turn this into a major money making scheme for us (buy games at my work and sell them for large amounts of money...yay!) right now it is costing me money...which I don't have. I must now take double shifts...at the store my mom doesn't want me to work at (way too much travel...I don't blame here, but I'm much to lazy to learn all the ropes at a new store...silly me) which basically means two shifts a week (equals $250 every two weeks...not tons, I know, but enough to give me a little bit of spending cash...YAY!) Now to prove my ultimate geekiness, I am now the proud owner of episodes 1-200 and the movies of Sailor Moon. In Japanese. And it was an amazing deal, so I couldn't pass it up. In fact, I am quite giddy. YAY! So, for the time being my brother owns my soul, but he has kindly offered a payment plan. Thank you Ty, you are my ultimate hero. Aside from that, classes are going really well so far. I am really liking them, although the true reading load has yet to hit me. I am currently obsessed with the tv show Firefly, and am counting down the days until my parents come for a visit (it's ten days). Chawn and I will then inflict more Miyazaki on my mother (My Neighbor Totoro...if you have seen it watch it [Jamie, this means you]). Aside from that, all is normal...so much is happening I need to update way more. But who am I kidding...we all know I won't. MWAHAHAHAHAHA, damnit. More strangeness yet to come.

And I'm Back!

Ok, so it's been a while since I've last posted, but my excuse is that I've been crazy busy with school, which is very true. I have quite the dilemma on my hands: Three upper division classes and a job, or four upper division classes and no job. I have chosen the first one...but I can't help but feel a little guilt about it. What's up with that?!? It's like I think that I should try doing both, however I already know how that would end up. Me stressed beyond all belief, calling my mom in a panic attack, and asking why I didn't just drop the damn class! *sniff sniff* So I figured that for once, I should look ahead: Can I do all the reading for the classes while having a job? I don't know if I could do the readings if I don't have a job... Will I be able to do all the assignments if I have a job? Not for four classes for damn sure! So there is my answer. I'm going to have three classes and a job, basically because I like money way to damn much! But I shall go for now. Class dropping is needing to be done. More strangeness yet to come.

Wowza

It's been a long time since I've last blogged, and that for a number of reasons. The main one: I've had no time. The second one: I've had no drive. But lots of things have happened lately which need to be shared. The first big one is the tragic loss of a very close family friend on New Years Day. John, you were loved, and will be missed. The second is of course the bringing in of the New Year, and I tell ya, we partied like it was 1999. And we have the pictures to prove it. It was a great time, surrounded by friends and family, and the friends are all basically family anyway, so everyone had a blast. The kittens hid away for most of the night, which was a good thing. But when I awoke, I was snuggling with Cloud which was a great way to start my year. Of course, he's kinda annoyed at me, cause I re-arranged my bedroom, but he still cuddles with me every morning. It's our little thing. I'm such a suck. But now I look forward to a wonderful year ahead, including the very hot boyfriend I'm going to get. How do I know? My magic eight ball told me. More strangeness yet to come.
