Whaddya know, more essay drama on Fri. Basically a replay of Wed's eppy with me tryin to do my paper the night before, failing, tryin to finish it the morning of and again failing, but eventually gettin the thing done. Not without much stress tho. I decided to skip class so I could do it and bein optimistic that I could at least catch the last hr of lecture so I could hand it in. Of course it took longer than I thought, had to go to G's house to print it up (after gettin her to come home from bein out to lemme do it LOL) and by that time it was 3 somethin, not enough time to get to school by bus cuz they most likely would let class out earlier than 4:30. So I got a ride and what happens? About 10 mins away from school, the car breaks down!! I'm just all, ohhhh nooo you are not doin this to me! But 2 really nice guys stopped and helped boost the car. It was like 4:25 by then and I thought maybe the prof or TA would still be there and I'm freakin out that class woulda been done early. I get to the room and no one there, fuck! Yup, they were done early. I'm like, screw what am I gonna do now? I even walked all the way across campus to the college building where their offices were even tho I knew they probably wouldn't be there since it wasn't office hrs and it was Fri, there'd be no reason for them to be stickin around. They weren't there and I was stuck with my finished essay and no way to hand it in since they weren't takin papers emailed this time around. But I had it done! And I was there! Dammit. So after all that trouble, I'm like no way I went thru all that and just hop on a bus home for another hr and a half after bein at school for all of 15 mins. So I'm like, I don't care, I'm gonna go fuck around for a bit and make somethin of this! LOL So I chilled in the library messin around the lovely comp that can do email and Messenger and doesn't restrict any websites :) THAT lil thing was the only good that came outta that. So I figured I'd email my essay to the TA so that would at least show I had it done that day for real and I just missed them so I wasn't able to give it in. And if they wouldn't take it like that, I'd just hand in it late for next week. Maybe I can make it longer and better for then. I finally found out how ppl were doin Hotmail! I've got the friggin secret! LOL All this time I'm all, wtf why's it not lettin me in? So I asked the person in front of me (I know I made it sound the dumbest question a person could ask but anyway: "Do you know how to get into Hotmail?") and she's like, "Ummm...www.hotmail.com?" LOL I'm like, yeah I know, I mean like it doesn't let me in cuz it's restricted for some reason. The thing is to use Netscape instead of Internet Explorer, sooo stupid! I'm like oh thanks! OMG that was all? Goddamn! But wooooo! I got it now! So yes, I was there at school on a Fri evening, sittin at the comp in the library fuckin around LOL I was so in the mood for a spliff or somethin cuz my smokes just weren't gonna do it and I don't drink no more :P Thank god L called me and wanted to do somethin so we could out and I could be set free of this madness. *siiiiigh* But that WAS a rare Fri that I didn't get a headache...probably cuz I never actually went to class and I didn't take the bus there :P
At least I got to go out...hadn't seen L or G in weeks, geez. Good times. I think they were smokin up somethin before they came to pick me up cuz they were actin fucked up that night LOL At Timmy's, we were laughin at somethin and L just couldn't stop and was makin this messed up horn/barkin sound, and the more she laughed, the funnier the noise she was makin was and that just made her laugh even more LOL Me and G were just goin, shhhh relax! You're bein so fuckin loud! It's OK, breathe, breathe! And G's like, shut up! You sound like a fuckin horn! LOL So we made even more of a ruckus. Loud crowd that night. And the ppl workin there kept droppin things in the back cuz there was a lot of crashes and stuff breakin LOL The girl dropped a couple coffee pots or somethin right beside me cuz we were sittin near the part to go to the back (and scared L good LOL) and we both gave eachother that face that looks like 'eeeee'...ya know, the face you make when someone gets hurt or somethin and it's like ouch! Kinda like a grimace, yeah that's the word LOL
Anyhoo, today went to the AGO again for art class. My prof REQUIRES us to see this exhibit but the syllabus didn't say nuthin about why. Cuz she just really wants us to see it or there's gonna be an assignment that goes with it? Dunno. Better not be some quiz or somethin on it later. L made me wait in the subway station while she went to Robards to get a book so she could go with me to the gallery :P G called us while were still out and told us that Steve DID call back, she just didn't check her vmail. What a fuckin dumbass!!! This girl causes me so much stress LOL It tires me. She was about to give up on the Steve thing and I was about to give up on her dramas cuz seriously, I just didn't wanna deal as much as I wanted to bitch and nag at her about it LOL I was right again, thank you thank you. So we're all goin clubbin tonight LOL Steve should be bringin some friends ;)

Oh yeah, so onto today...Fish calls me and friggin wakes me up, she's callin on her cell so I thought she was back home but she was still in K-town. Called me to ask if her sis could borrow my licence cuz she's goin up to visit her and she's gonna take her out drinkin (at 17 tsk tsk, tho she was takin her out since she was 14! LOL thanks to my ID) but at least I got to talk to her for a bit. I'm like, yeah OK she can take it...didn't I give you my G2 one already?? She's like yeah but that was like yrs ago and this one's your old G card :P Even tho my G card's technically expired too. I say K fine, but if I somehow get in shit, I'll kill you, you know the drill. She says her sis has been usin my old one downtown and K-town don't give a crap so it'll be no prob. I'm like, what? She's still usin it? She's been walkin around in bars and shit illegally underage all this time? She should be grateful like whoa! LOL
We don't really look alike tho...but Fish and her sis look like twins sometimes and I guess if we were wearin the same clothes and you'd do a quick glance, me and Fish would like kinda the same. Whatever works, seems to have done the job so far. Oh well, she knows the risks :P Ugh, it's my ghetto pic too, I hate havin anyone look at it so even tho I got my better new one, it's still makin the rounds LOL
So Fish says her sis isn't home yet so she can't tell her about pickin up my licence but she'll roll by my house before her bus at 2. I'm like fiiiine, get me up and now I hafta make myself presentable, ugh. It wasn't even her sis who came by but her sis' friend and I so wasn't ready LOL Yeah I look no better than in my ID pic, thanks, bye! LOL So I'm all outta ID's now, the lil user :P I feel so good helpin kids get their drink on and breakin the law ;) LOL
And today will be spent workin on my NEXT essay paper due tomorrow...we'll see how that turns out!

OK so I'll talk about what happened yesterday first so this won't be such a monster of a post. So my Women and Film paper was due yesterday and I got absolutely nowhere with it the night before. I just have the WORST attention span and I can't crack down and concentrate and get it done. So I figured I'd get up earlier the next morning and finish it. Here's the thing tho, I had about a page done (about 2-3 to go) and I still had no working printer (I really need to get that shitass thing fixed) and I couldn't get a holda anyone else to use theirs. K I'm dumb and went to bed at like 3 again with not a lotta sleep from the day before, and got up at 10. Of course I got next to nuthin done again and I had to jet for art history class. I dunno how but I left the house earlier than I usually do but still ended up late for class...damn bus. There was another weirdo on this time. He had some big duffel bag and the bus was packed so there were no more seats so he plunked down his bag on the floor and just sat on it. Everybody was like what the hell? Later a seat got freed up and some guy told him and he said somethin about not wantin to sit there for some reason. So he just sat there on his bag on the floor blockin off the back of the bus. Of course I was standin next to him, and I couldn't move any further up cuz he was in the way. Oh and the windows on the bus were totally friggin dirty so you couldn't see nuthin outside at ALL so of course this also had to be the same bus that was super packed too, PLUS the driver wasn't sayin what the stops were over the speakers like he's supposed to. So I'm sittin but I'm half dozin and I wake up and I can't see a damn thing, not even thru the front windshield cuz there's a whole buncha ppl standin and blockin the way and I just miss my stop to transfer to the bus that goes straight to campus and instead go all the way to the subway station and transfer there. I'm late for art half an hr and I'm still not done my paper due that same day. I figured not to skip art cuz we might be doin somethin important and she might talk about the paper due next class (yup another one to do, ugh) so I thought I could somehow finish my paper at school on my hr and a half break between classes. Good thing too cuz she took attendance that day. Now I just had to find a comp on campus that I could type it up on Word and print out. I was pretty sure there was somethin like that somewhere, cuz what about students who don't have comps? I can't even emphasize the stress I had to go thru to do this. So I'm thinkin I should write out the stuff and do notes from the reading and whatnot first so I went lookin for an empty classroom and I found one (I now know where to go if I want a chair and desk and have a room to myself heehee, instead of sittin on the floor in the halls or worryin about havin food in the library). This room also has a TV and DVD/CD player so I can go watch movies next time on my breaks on Wednesdays, score! :) So I get that done and I'm off lookin for a comp. The ones in the library that I know of don't have Word or print out your own assignments and whatever. I DID discover a whole new part of the library where there's a big section of comps that you can use for your own stuff and print out shit. I've been over there before but I don't remember them bein there ever, I always thought they were just more of the regular comps so I just passed them by. I asked the guy and he said I could use those ones and I'm like really?? I learn more and more about places on campus every time LOL But I didn't have the special comp account and it'll take about 24 hrs to activate so I'm like oh, crap that doesn't help me then. But again, more very useful info that I have now...these comps do the Messengers and stuff too so I can chat on my breaks again! :D Anyway, so that was one attempt. I tried the Student Centre (closed by that time), the library, my college building (nuthin), I was gettin desperate. So I called D to see if she was home and I could use her stuff at her place since she's lives real close to campus. No answer. I'm like, OK last resort, I feel like such a user but I don't care...I called Tony LOL He picked up and he wasn't at his place but he was around on campus. His printer was broke too but he was already done his paper. He told me to go to the science library and I'm like, they have those there? Are you sure? Again, I haven't seen these alleged comps but, shows what I know. Apparently they have them so off I went. I ran into him as I went lookin for it LOL I went in and couldn't see any that I could use, they looked like I needed to sign up for. I asked the info guy and he said I could use these 3 for Word and printing and I couldn't believe it. These? Any of these ones? I can type up stuff and print it out? Are you sure? LOL Finally! I found them! I sat there goin, wowww, now I know LOL Why haven't I done this before? I popped in my disk and worked away. I was walkin all over campus, all stressin and panic-y but I got my coat and gloves on cuz it's so cold out so I'm practically sweatin :P Of course, writin the paper took longer than I thought esp since I wasted a good hr runnin around and writin the rough copy out so it was gettin past 7 and film class already started. I was thinkin like, why didn't I just go home and finish it if I wasn't gonna make it to class anyway? (I really thought I would be done in time to make it for class) Then again, I didn't have a printer still LOL so that wouldn't work plus gettin home and back would take 3 hrs on the bus so no. I finished about 9 so as long as I got it in before class was done, I was set. Tho I didn't have a photocopy card on me for the print-outs (costs like 9 cents a pg, those cheap-asses) but I saw the guy next to me do his stuff a few mins before so I knew he had one. I asked if I could use his and I'd give him the money for it but he was so nice and he said I could use it and to forget about the money (it'd come up to like measly 40 cents but still, it's not like I didn't have change on me, I coulda paid him back LOL) I had to ask him to help me how to print too :P I thanked him twice and he was just like, oh no prob. What a nice guy...Jay ;) I know this cuz he typed it as the print job code LOL So now I know about these magical computers and the next time I had a literally last min assignment to do, that's where I'll be. Ahahaha, the power! Messengers and comps without the friggin restricted sites and no cookies shit, and comps to do hw on :) I was thinkin school would be where I should get all my stuff printed out but then again, it costs as opposed to free at home but mine doesn't even work :P I get to class with an hr left and they're watchin a film so I catch the last part of it with no idea what it's about...it was kinda interesting tho. 10 comes and I hand in my paper, done and over with! :) So that was my long ass Wed, as usual (Nice Guy Day tho LOL)...but I technically spent a total of 3 hrs actually in class LOL Supposed to be there from 2:30 til 10 but since I was late and art class ended early and I didn't go to film class til an hr left, all that time was mostly workin on that damn 4 pg paper :P I think it was pretty good tho, and it's 25% of the grade. I spend a lot of time debating if I should hand in a not as good paper on time or if it's better to hand in a better paper late...that's bad LOL Then again, it won't necessarily be better...or the deducted marks might be too harsh (I can't calculate these kinda percentages with the so and so marks off thing), I could very well hand it in late and still get a D if it sucks plus the marks off. Always a gamble! LOL

Where to start? I always have a lotta stupid little things to say. Oh man, I shouldn't have drank yesterday...didn't get drunk or sick but my stomach was makin weirdo noises all night, it got upppset! I was just prayin that I wouldn't wake up in the middle of the night and hafta puke. I didn't, thank god, cuz that's always the symptom right before. Anyway, helped me even more to keep goin with my vow :P
I've friggin had it with batteries in my Walkman dammit. Put in new ones and they died out again today, what the hell?? It's been like 3 weeks I've been bussin it twice a day, 4 days a week and I'm so sick of it, ugh. Mama needs a car...or to be let to TAKE the damn thing. Of course I was late to class...half an hr :P Crap. Another thing I'm buggin about is the Avril show. Tix went on sale at noon on Sat and me goin with my wait-til-later-or-get-a-single plan, and Ticketmaster tells me they can't get any or whatever! I'm like WTF? What's wrong with this thing? Fine, it must be screwed today. Then I read in the paper on Sunday about tix bein all gone!!! Some witty wording like: "Avril fans will find it complicated to find tickets as 2 of her Ontario shows sold out in 45 mins yesterday". Holy shit...I refuse to believe that the entire friggin place (35,000?) has absolutely NO seats anywhere left, come on. They like to screw around and say shows are sold out to hype it up but there's always some seats here and there that are empty, I know this. I considered goin to the London show but they're sold out too. Motherfucker! I'm seriously thinkin about goin outta province to see this concert, yo. Tho I dunno where I'm gonna get the money LOL I still gotta work out the funds to get tix :P God, so many probs. Dunno what I'm gonna do, maybe try to win some at the bastard radio stations or Much or the Star. BUT I won't trip, I'll find a way, I've got til April.
Oh and I think the girl who's wallet I found last semester (long story, don't think I wrote about it on here but that was 1 part of a very long and fucked up day) is in my class...weird. Not sure tho, I'll ask her next week. Been lotsa strange Twilight Zone-y stuff goin on lately. LOL the weird guy from the bus was right behind me today except he went on the other bus. I was like, aw man not again, what're the odds? LOL And yes, he was still makin those messed up noises.
Geez, I still gotta do my film paper due Wed. How about I actually finish the readings before I start? :P Sounds like a plan. Probably shouldn't have fucked around on Sat...meh!
