Oooooooooh, I just found out the deadline for applyin to graduate in June is in 2 days! And I came across it by chance! Holy crap, it totally didn't occur to me to do it. It's kinda retarded to hafta apply to graduate...but good thing I realized when I was on the website checkin my records and stuff. I have til Mon to fax my form in. Damn, that was close. I would've had to have waited til Oct then.

On another note, Michelle Branch has a new band called The Wreckers. I previewed a song they have on the One Tree Hill soundtrack and it's amazing. I love MB and I'm def gettin their CD when it comes out. Go check "The Good Kind" at www.michellebranch.com

I think we're goin clubbin tonight. I need to get some, haha.

I had to drive again to take the bro to another class so that sucked butt. The fuckin heat doesn't work now. Balls!! Not only does it make it a very not comfortable experience but my windows get frosted over and foggy so I can't see shit.

Way to cut 2 hrs outta my night. But me and L still managed to go to East Side. We talked guys and life after school and where we stand on hypothetical bfs watchin porn by themselves, haha. Then while we were drivin, about to hit Timmy's, the both of us were like, "I threw up a little in my mouth." :P I dunno what was goin on but we were gettin these half-burps that made us on the verge of barfing. So it was home for us. Was it somethin we ate?? Very weird!

Anyway that was really eww. I did my crunches and freeweights today already but I feel fat and that I should work out some more. I think I hurt somethin when I was shovellin...I'm so on my game! Haha.

Yesterday I played chauffeur cuz I had to drive my brother to all his classes. In my shitbox car. It's winter and very cold. First he had his piano lessons so the drive took longer than anticipated cuz the frickin traffic at rush hr made this one left turn take about 10 mins. The lesson was an hr so I thought I'd drive home but the travel time made it pointless since I was home for about 10 mins before I head back out to pick him up. Since his taekwondo class was a half an hr later at 8, we were goin straight there so I figured I'd wait for him in the car this time. I brought dinner and the newspaper to pass the time since I'd be there for another hr. I parked and ate and read and did the crossword...some fun times. Mind you, I couldn't keep the engine on cuz my car just can't take that...esp if I wanted to make it home. So that meant no heat. Not that the heat even works all that well. So I was FREEZIN. I felt like a homeless person. I was sittin there in the cold. Even tho I was inside a car, I might as well have been outside. Can I also add that the radio doesn't work anymore either? Ghetto ghetto ghetto.

The ride's not too bad, really. It gets me to point A to point B for the most part. I mean, it's pretty dependable for a 15 yr old car but it's by no means a rock solid vehicle...there's many many things wrong with it :P

So finally he was done and I speeded home (I also needed to pee really bad) cuz me and Al were supposed to catch a movie in about 40 mins. I dropped my bro off and went to pick up Al. Wasn't sure if we were gonna make it but we juuuuust got in as the movie came up. We saw Elektra...it was alright. The ticket price was worth the jokes we made outta Jennifer Garner's pouty lips, haha.

Then we went to Timmy's and talked life. Al has a couple of stalkers, haha. That night was pure laughs.

This morning the lady from the film office called and said that my IS application was approved and that I had to enrol before midnight today. Exxxcellent. She said she emailed me but was callin just in case I didn't check it in time or somethin. That was nice. So I enrolled and all is done. Hate to say I got a bit excited about gettin more course work, haha. Got in on the ass last day!

"It's Friday and I'm ready to swing, pick up my girls and hit the party scene..."

Is it me or is everybody tryin to piss me off lately? I think it's both. I'm so edgy. I'd normally say it was just everybody that's makin me mad but it's probably gettin to that womanly time...so I'm usually PMS-y and to me everythin's gettin on my nerves and I don't even realize that it's partly me too.

Well I just had to get the hell out. Vick skipped out on work for a 'sick day' but came out anyway. L came by my place for a drinky drink (it only made sense that the driver be the one on meds and therefore not be able to drink, haha) and Vick picked us up to go to Under the Sun or whatever it's called. Ahhhh, laughs just make your day so much better.

Oh yes, the Larry thing. He called me Mon to see how I was and to talk and whatever. Oh god it's the Jay thing all over again. Guys just don't get the hint...seriously, they don't have any clue whatsoever that I'm not returnin their feelings. It's like they're in denial. And I really don't want a repeat of havin to do the letdown. Larry's so intent on havin a 'date' sometime this week. I was supposed to call him today actually...but I also did say that I honestly don't know what's goin on for today or what I'm doin this week cuz. Said it straight up that I wasn't makin promises or concrete plans with him. I said I'd call him tho...and not to call me! Cuz dudes always call all antsy when I said I'd call. Like why ask what time and what day when you're just gonna call me earlier than that anyway?

That's it, never givin out my number again. I don't care how offended they get or how persistent. To be friendly or just talk, my ass.

I can't believe I went to bed at 11 last night. So tired! I think the last time I went to sleep that early was maybe once in hs or somethin. And I still got up around 1 in the afternoon :P Guess I needed those hrs.

Tuesday, January 25, 2005

Well it's been a long damn day. I got up earlier than usual on Tues mornings yet I still got to class late...and even later than usual at that.

Then I was meetin John about my IS at 5:30 so I had more than 3 hrs to kill. I'm like, lalala....what can I do for all that time? Finish up that IS form with the list of all the film courses I've taken and researchin books for my topic in the library. Brilliant.

Then I went to find a study desk upstairs and took a nap. Before I did, some girl next to/in front of me asked for an extra pen. Which is fine, I gave it to her. Except that it was kinda weird...she whispered super super quietly even tho she was right next to me, face to face, that I hardly even heard her. Like, nobody cares if you talk normally just as long as you're not bein obnoxiously loud or you have a long annoying cell phone ringtone. Then when I gave her the pen, she just kept lookin at me for a sec kinda smilin and said thank you. In my head I'm like, OK. But I smile back and say you're welcome. I think she was lookin at my pen a bit strangely for a sec too. Cuz I gave her that fat green one that some guy threw at us in Wasaga...it's just not an everyday Bic is all I'm sayin. I'm preeeetty sure she wasn't tryin to come onto me but it was just...weird :P

Anyway, so John is awesome. Not only is he supervisin for me but he was so nice about it. And he remembers me from class last yr (it was a pretty big class)...aaaaaand he said I was a pretty good writer (from the last essay he had). Shocking. So that shit's outta the way! We filled out everythin and he even said he'd hand it to the lady for me tomorrow since yes, the film office was closed.

The day was pretty much: at the fine arts building for class, to the library to do some work, then to the fine arts building again to meet with John and pick up the readings for this week cuz they weren't there before, back to the library to photocopy them, and back to the fine arts building to put them back.

While I was ridin the bus home, there was an ad sign thing that has a picture of some guy doin some kinda formulas, math whatever the fuck it is, on a blackboard and it says somethin like, "Show everyone how intellectual you are...wait, you're already doin it...the TTC saves money, time, hassle, and the environment." I laughed, and not in the good way. 2 of the 4 are true. Time and hassle? My ass. So I think I jinxed myself there but also proved a point cuz the bus I was on suddenly became a short-turn one so that meant it wasn't goin where I needed to go. Ppl had to get off, get a transfer, and get the right bus. The driver says you can catch the one in front cuz it was a red light and they're both stopped so some of us get off and run to it before the light changes. No, this one's goin some other route too. And I appreciate the bus shelter, I do...glass over your head keeps the snow off but it's still damn cold out. Yup, definitely saved time and hassle.

And I got home at 8...11 hrs after I left the house this morning.

Bitch bitch bitch. Hey fuck you too.

And everythin falls apart, haha. That bein today...although I don't mind so much :P My independent study thing should be throwin me in a panic mode but it's not. I was thinkin I'd go to school today to talk to some profs about supervisin but first I emailed them in the case that they didn't even have office hrs today and I woulda gone for nothing. I tried 2 of my old profs and one came thru...yay, John! I love how the other prof writes, "I'm overcommited." Haha, that's awesome. What a good way to put it. Anyway so I don't hafta go to school today cuz John won't be in til tomorrow. Which is good cuz I'll be at school tomorrow...but it's bad cuz he won't be back in his office til 5:30 and I'm pretty sure the film & video office will be closed and tomorrow's the day the lady said to have the forms in by in order to process and approve them. If it was any other person in this position, they'd be LOSIN IT right now. I think I was born with some ultra-mellow gene or somethin cuz it's not botherin me that much :P It's not so much that I don't care, it's just that I don't let myself freak out somehow. Is this a good thing or a bad thing to have??

So I also don't hafta drive my brother to the doctor's today cuz the roads are bad all over again. The mom doesn't trust me, and I don't trust the car, and we all don't trust other drivers in the winter in general :P So the appointment's rescheduled.

Oh god, so I still hafta do the readings for class and finish up this IS business. Gotta settle on a topic for good and get all the resources down. I don't think there's gonna be Sex & the City tonight, haha.

Well Sat morning wasn't a pukey disaster so I'm very glad about that. Sat night didn't even happen cuz we got a blizzard and the snow just kept on comin. The chick's condo is downtown and Kim didn't wanna drive in that craziness cuz she "didn't want to die today". She tried to wait it out but it wasn't lettin up and whenever the plows cleared the highway, it just got more on it. So the party was out. She said that some of the other ppl weren't goin either so that musta sucked for the bday girl. Coulda had a stripper but it never went down, haha.

It's pretty shitty for the weather to ruin your plans. L didn't hafta go into work cuz it was absolutely dead so she coulda came to the party too but boo, wasn't meant to be. Cat and Kim stayed in so me and L wanted to rent a movie. Then we called G and basically told her we were comin over and we didn't wanna hear about it, haha. We went to Rogers but once we got to the house, G wanted to get food and a coffee (and Sarah whined for video games) so we headed out to McD's, Blockbuster, Shopper's, and Timmy's. Yeah, they don't get fed much since they're on their own, haha. We got Cellular, which was pretty decent. Then we played some Need for Speed. I'm pretty good if I do say so myself, esp since I was havin some vodka & Pepsi. Now why can't I be the best driver on the actual roads? Haha. Real life, not video games. Never drink and drive, kids.

My dad and grandma actually headed out earlier so the dinner thing didn't happen either. My dad had left like 10 mins til they were leavin to pack his stuff. So it was all chaos and the driver had arrived and there was yellin and rushin rushin so we didn't even get to hug Grandma or even say bye. Geez.

I vacuumed, did laundry, shovelled the freakin driveway, did some school business. Wow this weekend went downhill, didn't it? :P You know how some ppl can just use 10 mins to ruin your day...just a few moments of talkin to the wrong person can put you in a bad mood.

Mon should be LOTS of fun. Except not.
