Friggin Shmooze! *Pounds fists on desk* Haha, just kiddin...I'm not that upset. As usual, the plan was to go but we didn't. We were close too. We actually stood waitin in line and it was LONG and we were standin longer than we would've liked so we bounced. Guess we left a bit late for the after work crowd and the lineup got too crazy. At least Al and P would be kinda glad about it cuz they can still go with us for the first time...cuz we have yet to make it there without them.

So the rest of last night included Chapters, Milestone's, and bubble tea. It was kinda weird to be downtown that early in the evening. G couldn't wrap her head around the fact that it wasn't club hrs yet and she was like, that place is DEAD! Maybe cuz they're not open yet, hon. "Ya jackass!" Hahaha. Fun times.

So me and L got on the physical activity kick and went for a hr walk yesterday. I might've driven to her house to stroll around her neighbourhood but still :P She lives far enough! Damn her and her boonie-land house. Anyway, it's a start. You don't even notice it's been a whole hr if you're with someone and you're talkin. We technically went into the scary woods behind the houses and could've stolen the golf cart in the shed at the back but we're past hs, haha. "No snowmobiles on the golf course." Hahaha, wtf?

We were gonna go for a walk today but the weather turned out to be like, fuckin slushy rain. 50 Cent must be lovin Toronto (he's filming a movie).

Me and L chilled at Timmy's for hrs, talkin about everythin there is to talk about I think. That's what we do :P It's just the locations that change...Chapters, malls, just rollin in the car. I hadn't had an English Toffee Cappuccino in so long. I won a muffin, haha.

I'd post more reflective, profound things but I can't remember the conversations we had for the life of me. I just know they were good. And I LAUGHED a lot too. I think it was long convo day today cuz Al had called me in the evening and we talked for I don't even know how long but the phone against my ear really started to hurt. She was supposedly workin too, haha.

So me and L decided to get our asses in gear with gettin exercise again. Of course, words are just words and actually gettin the motivation and carryin it out is a diff thing :P It's bad...I used to be so fit in hs then I just got lazy. I used to run cross-country for christ's sake! Now I'll probably get winded just runnin down the block, haha. Either we'll join the gym (and go thru with it this time) or go for runs during the week. I'll hafta start out very sadly by walkin first cuz my muscles just won't be used to all that movement, haha. And I don't like to sweat. I know that's very stupid girl-y of me but really, it's a gross feeling.

I'm listenin to Maroon 5 right now. I don't care for the band at all...their singles are incredibly annoying and the lead singer's voice is so high and nasal that I had come to hate their music but it somewhat works on "Sunday Morning". That's typical tho, radio overplays all the songs I hate from a group/band/artist but don't give a lotta spin to the tracks I actually like, usually their 3rd or 4th singles.

I'm gonna peace out. Gotta drive tomorrow morning again, then do a walk with L, and get ready to hit Shmooze when G gets off work. Lovin the cheap drinks.

Ooh it's the 1st...happy April Fool's Day.

Today's discussion is history...as in, things that happened days ago and I forgot to mention...and like history, it's not all that important, but it's good to know :P

Vick came online a few days ago while still in Ecuador. Effin cool. The trip's good so far but those mosquitoes love that yummy flesh of hers. She said she's drinkin like every day, which has made her back into the old Vick we know and love. Honestly, I've never seen her drunk or remotely buzzed. She's like a god...she must be cuz she's SO SMALL and yet alcohol doesn't affect her. She just pees all of it out. Anyway, she'll be back next week and we'll go out cuz she's jealous we're partyin without her even tho she's out of the country on vacation :P

Oh and my dad's also back, haha...since Sun. Balance!

OMG I was eatin breakfast yesterday about to leave for school and it's not abnormal to hear birds chirpin outside cuz there's trees in the backyard and I dunno, they like to chill in them. But I heard like one distinct noise and it sounded unusually close. I may or may not have mentioned my fear of birds but there it is. I know it's irrational and frankly, pretty stupid but I can't help it. I hear flapping of wings and I FREAK. I have the instinctual reaction of ducking and gettin all neurotic. Anyway, this bird chirpin or whatever it was doin, I figured it was comin from above the house cuz they like to sit on the roof too and maybe I was hearin it from the chimney in the other room. The chimney's covered so they can't fly down it but it's still an open grate so you can hear even bird feet walkin around or wings rustling. Then I was around the stove and I hear it. I swear to god it was comin from the stove vent thing above. It made a noise and I went, "AHH!" and pretty much ran away cuz it scared me so bad. I am convinced it was stuck in the pipe or vent that's attached to the ventilator and leads outside where the air goes or whatever. Oh my lord, it felt like it was right there. I tried lookin thru the lil mesh part of where it sucks up the grease in the air when you're cookin and I was freaked I'd see it lookin back at me. I couldn't go near the stove anymore. No way I was dealin with it, but if it was in there and someone turned on the vent maybe it'd get hurt or bird parts would come back down *shudder* so I left a note that I thought there was a bird in there. I dunno if there ever was but there hasn't been a problem so far. Why me??

G came by the other day after work and we spent about 3 hrs talkin. I know any time she just calls and asks to come over or go out for coffee, she has some retarded crisis goin on. This one was about that winner 6. I cannot believe the things she worries about. But I'm not even gonna get into cuz I wanna preserve her dignity, the subject matter is just that gay. And she knows it.

The weather has finally been good! Yay spring time. It should be...it's almost April already.

Here's a nice transition...speakin of April, for those who don't know, April in french is Avril ;) ...she's comin back to do a summer tour! I'm there. Tix go on sale on Fri. I wasn't plannin on spendin $50 this week but looks like I will. I saw her in Nov and it's probably gonna be a similar show cuz it's an Under My Skin tour but I love her. It'll be hype.

Now I gotta jet cuz L is gonna come kidnap me in the middle of the day.

I had my official absolutely last university class of my life today. I wasn't really thinkin about it...it'll probably hit me later on when I actually realize that this is the end and I get scared that I hafta face the real world, haha. And of course I was late today...but as it clear by this point, it's not like I care :P We had a guest lecturer and we got out early. Oh and I got those damn questions done and handed in and over with for good. Got my first questions back: B+....first essay: C- haha, which is just fine by me. I just need passes this for this class and a C average overall to graduate, baby. I strive high, dontcha know.

Class ended at 1:30 instead of 2 but I had to hit the library and plow thru books anyway so I got home at 5. I like to minimize my trips to school so I had to get resources for both my final papers. Found pretty much nothing for film and good stuff for my IS. I was gonna go back to the film building to photocopy this week's readings from class that were outside the prof's door cuz I had skimmed them and they seemed relevant to my topic but I naturally didn't do them this week and the course was over so whatever, but his door was open and he was in his office with somebody so there'd be no way I could get them without him seein me take them so I said screw it, haha. He doesn't need to know that I'm more than a slacker than I already am and plus I didn't want him to call me in to discuss my essay topic...again...in depth :P

Then me and P felt like goin out tonight but we couldn't decide what to do so we visited L at work first. Of all the days we drop by, today was some drama. Some tall, potentially scary man was tryin to return a printer but apparently like 1/3 of the ink was used and they weren't gonna refund it without the cost of the ink, cuz he clearly used it. He was arguin with the manager and their voices started to rise. The guy was gettin maaaad. We were just standin around cuz we were waitin for L to not be busy so we could chat and I'm not 1of those ppl who wanna know everythin's that's happenin and stare and listen while it's all goin down so I turned and looked at some DVDs. All of a sudden, there was this LOUD yell like the kind that gets you thinkin that somebody's gonna get hit or killed or somethin. Friggin scared me! I turned around and P told me it was the manager who yelled, haha. I dunno. They were arguin and he just went, "AHHHH!!!" L came over later and said the cops were called. Isn't that messed up, that it gets to the point where you hafta involve the police when you're in a retail place and the whole thing is over a printer? It was kinda tense tho...the guy was not lettin up. And I dunno how long they were fightin for but at some points, he was walkin around and badmouthin the store. We're just like, oh geez, just hope there isn't like, gunplay or some shit like that. L's like, I dunno, man...he left the store and came back, so....haha. The cops really did come...talk about a waste of resources. And it's really sad that ppl have come to this, like scared that somebody might hurt you over stuff like that...and that some ppl would actually do it too!

Anyways, L wasn't gettin out til late so we just went to Jack Astor's again but the bartender that made her drink wasn't there tonight. Our waitress said her bf bartends there but we didn't get to find out his name or if that guy was him.

P's my new sugar mama...she buys me drinks and pays for my share of whatever she eats too. I'm a mooch, haha. But I drive her ass anywhere she asks so shut up :)

I'm goin to stop talkin myself right now. Okeydokeys? Night!

Crunk Week has ended. Here goes The Longest Post Ever...

Thurs I had to drive my brother to his lesson and I had to get groceries too. The moms insisted I get some stuff on sale at Sobeys. His lesson was only an hr so I might as well kill that time instead of goin home just to leave again. So I dropped him off and headed off to Sobeys. I had 45 mins before I had to go pick him up again so I'm thinkin this is plenty of time. NO. Fuckin traffic! Slowass drivers, rush hr, stop and go the whole time, almost gettin into an accident by some fool, it all pissed me off to no end. What shoulda been like a 10 min trip took the whole 45 mins. I didn't even get there, by that time I had to turn around and go get my brother. Then I called my mom and asked if she really really wanted me to get the stuff today. Fine. Off on the patience-tryin trek again. Same damn thing. I dunno how it took so long but it did and I was about to lose it. I'm not road rage-y in any way and I consider myself a laid-back person but this trip just tested me. Maybe it was cuz I hadn't eaten since lunch and I was cranky cuz my blood sugar was low :P We finally got there and I'm like, what can I pick up to eat for dinner in the car? And you can bet your ass I'm gonna pick up some goodies for myself while I'm at it.

So this damn errand is done and I get home and I'm all, here's the freakin salad dressing! I was this close to just goin to whatever store and just buyin it there for $6 each since I'm payin for it all on credit anyway! So you can see how my grr mood called for a night out to drink. I still hadn't even eaten dinner or showered and I had to rush cuz the girls were comin to get me soon.

We went to The Brunny (aka Brunswick House, aka Ye Olde Brunswick House, aka really old university hangout/beer house). It was L's idea cuz we've never been so we thought we'd try it out. Interesting night to pick cuz it just so happened to be some U of T frat/sorority fundraiser thing goin on. Somethin about hearts cuz there were a lotta them up all over the place...or for cancer or somethin or another. So there was a cover charge but it was for a good cause so I'm not one to bitch about it. So we still have no idea exactly what that night was for but there was some kinda judging goin on but we didn't stick around long enough. Lots of frat boys and sorority girls. Some guy was askin his friend about it and he was like, I dunno...but it's like a male fashion show! Haha. I tried callin Larry to see if he wanted to meet up since we were downtown and I haven't talked to him for a long time but the call wasn't goin thru. I had gone into the bathroom so I could hear better and there were 2 chicks mackin HARDCORE against the sinks, haha. I'm not a starer so I just walked further down and minded by biz with the phone :P

We bounced from The Brunny after a while and hit The Maddy (aka The Madison, aka The Madison Avenue Pub), which is down the block. G has this certain weird walk she does when it's cold out and she's determined to get inside somewhere. And because we love her, we like to mock her a lot :D This includes L doin an exaggerated imitation of this walk which we've called the Power Walk. Words cannot describe it, it's somethin to be seen. I can say hands down it is one of, if not THE, funniest thing ever. I die laughin every time L does it. Don't get me started on her run, haha. Well, some guy walkin towards us witnessed this and laughed too. Not sure if it was cuz he saw the walk or cuz we were all over the sidewalk laughin.

Inside there's absolutely nowhere to sit so we head out to the patio which is uncovered and it's a bit chilly but they've got heatlamps goin. Some guy stops me as we're walkin past and he's like, hi. We chatted for a quick min about god knows what. I only remember me tellin him that he looks like Casey Affleck, Ben's brother. And I have no idea what he said his name was.

Fri we were to the Bier Markt. There was a band playin all the '70s oldies hits. I actually knew most of the songs, it was alright but if I was into that kinda music, it woulda been bananas. Then whenever the band took a break from their set, they'd play hip hop and Justin Timberlake, all the shit I appreciate...but the grown folks had taken up for the floor. Whaaaaaatev.

We wanted to finally go get some Mama's Pizza but it was closed cuz it was Good Fri. So we went back uptown and ate at The Station. I laughed so much that night. Good times.

Sat I went clubbin with Al, Kim, Cat, and her boy Justin. He's such a good bf! He's like the perfect man...he's not my dream guy but he's the type that'd be normally fantasized about by any other girl. We went to Sugar ($15! WTF, Kimmy!) and he drove, paid for parking, and got us on coat check. He was gonna buy us drinks too but I couldn't do that...I had Al buy me one instead, haha. And Justin's not only good to Cat but he's sweet to us too. You KNOW it's a keeper when your guy is nice and considerate to your friends. He was like, if anybody bothers you, just tap me on the shoulder and I'll come help you!

We got downtown kinda late and I got home around 4. I don't think I've ever felt nastier (cuz I sweated so much :P) It was hot as HELL in there, I'm not kiddin. No windows in the floor area whatsoever. That was pretty gross. We all had to sit out for a while every now and then cuz it was just too much. So I felt like a sexy bitch when I came home. Plus my hair smelled like men's cologne somehow...I guess those guys were dancin closer than I thought, ha. Why do we attract these certain kinda guys, I dunno. Sometimes it's weird, sometimes it's disgusting, but sometimes it's funny and actually pretty fun. The bunch that night wasn't bad. We were sittin out at the side and some dude was beside me and I guess he was there alone but he was pretty into it. Then they started spinnin some sick jams and we were all boppin and funkin and singin and we played along with him. We were pretty much dancin but sittin down :P He was older, like maybe 30s but he was a really nice guy and so funny! And it's just a nice change that a male wants to dance but doesn't wanna touch you like a big perv and just wants in your pants. Kim said you could tell he had an American accent but I didn't hear a damn thing. I think she said he was from Pittsburgh.

So that about covers it all up to today. Yesterday I stayed in cuz I guess the week of fun had to end some time. Good news tho...my film essay originally due this Fri (I'd have less than 4 days to have done it, yeah right) was bumped down 2 weeks! Exxxcellent. Now I have my 2 final essays due around the same time which I think is better for me cuz I'd only hafta go to school once to drop them off (seein that I get the last one done slightly early) and I also get more time to work/start on them :P Booyah.
