HOLY MOTHER. I cannot believe the past 2 days I've had. Was it 2 days? I don't even know what's goin on. I'm out of it. Why? Cuz I hadn't gotten proper sleep for about 40 HOURS. Yeah. From gettin up at 8 am on Thurs til Fri night. I finally got to sleep in today. OMG I went to bed about midnight and got up around 2ish in the afternoon. Felt good.

So startin from Thurs, I was workin on my essay all day. I was a bit tired from gettin up early so I think the readin plus that caused me to take a nap for an hr or two that day. There, that was all the sleep I had. Then I was able to concentrate again so I was back at it. I was still doin it thru the morning so I didn't go to bed at all. So 8 am comes around on Fri and I hafta drive my brother again. I get home from that, work on the essay some more, go get him at 11:15, drop him at school, and finish up the work. But my printer is busted and I hafta print it out at school. The A drive on the computer I have it saved on doesn't work either so I can't put it on disk and I hafta email it to myself. I get ready to go to school. Yes I hafta bus it just to drop off an assignment and a library book. P calls just as I'm leavin the house. Her morning didn't quite go as she thought with work and she was kinda bored so she wanted to come with me.

I figured I had at least til 4 cuz that's when the film office closes and it was about 1:00 so everythin was straight. We got there around 2:30. I went to the library to print it out (last time I'd ever use a print card!), went to the film building and put my essay in the drop box. It said anythin in there before 4 pm would be time-stamped but I was just kinda concerned they'd fuck it up somehow when I did have it there in time. Oh well, there was no way I could get it outta the box so it was outta my hands. Bitch was done!! That was the last piece of hw I had to ever do. But I was too fucked to be that happy about it :P

I managed to slip in a breakfast of Reese Puffs in the morning but it was 3:00 so we were starving and got some food in the student centre. Then off to go home. Me and Al were gonna go downtown to Muchmusic to see Kelly Clarkson on MOD. L and G wanted to do somethin too but not that. We debated on goin down there but ended up goin to Jack Astor's that night. Good thing we didn't go downtown cuz Kelly didn't end up makin it there. I read that she had a sore throat so she had to cancel all press to save her voice for the concert.

P wanted to hang at my place cuz she said it was too chilly to walk home, the lazyass. So she stuck around and checked her email and stuff while I fell asleep on the couch. I was talkin to Al about what was goin down for that night and we both figured we'd get about 2 hrs sleep before we had to head out (cuz she had worked overnight and just got home that morning). Yeah, not so much. Nobody wanted me to get any sleep! I was like, OMG just let me have somethin. Apparently the 10-15 mins I had passed out on the bus counted as enough. She woke me up when it was about time that G would pick us up by pokin my face and I'm just, err? What time is it? Already? I still can't believe I went out when I was so sleep-deprived. But you know when you're doin things and you just don't notice how tired you are cuz you're so occupied with it, like you get a second wind or somethin so you're OK.

We got to ride in Al's new car :) She still hasn't mastered manual but she's gettin there. She took us around the block a couple times cuz we wanted to see the car and experience the jerky skills, haha. We wanted her to take us all to Jackass but she was like, fuck that, haha. It's a really nice ride...Acura SX somethin or another. It smelled like new car leather and liquor, haha. I dunno.

Jackass was packed so we bounced over to Milestone. Not really a place to get drunk and not as fun as Jackass but we were hungry. We still had to wait about 40 mins anyway cuz we're smart and went at busy dinner time. We were all about to lose it by that point. "I'm gettin so hungered!" Hahaha.

Got home around 11 and wanted to go straight to bed. But I had to take a shower and that woke me up a bit so I read the paper and that made me sleepy again. Passed out at 12 (even back when I had to get up at 7:30 for class I didn't go to bed that early :P).

It hasn't really hit me yet that I'm completely done school. Like done for good. I hafta celebrate it properly...before I start to freak out about what I'm gonna do :P We should be goin out tonight. Drinks, ppl?

Oh the time wastage! I have so many unconventional skills...yet no one chooses to exploit them.

My internet is bein a bitch. So is MSN. But today I experienced a wicked thing called Web Messenger. And it was there all this time. Why doesn't anybody tell me these things? I see ppl come online with it and I just thought they were on their cell phone browsers or some shit. Finally a way to use it on the computers at school...cuz they got smart over the yrs and blocked the cookies and restricted the Internet Options thing so ppl couldn't chat usin library comps. Then I just Googled to download Messenger through the cached page. Brilliant. Then they killed that too. Oh well, I learned way later than sooner but at least I got to use it the last time I was in the library :)

Yes, so today was research day. I honestly thought I'd just pick up the books I already looked up and photocopy whatever relevant articles I needed. I didn't figure in that I'd need more than the $1.50 cash I had on me and my $1 or so of photocopy credit left on my card. I'm smart that way. I also didn't have any paper on me...as in, anythin to write down notes on. There was way more info I needed than I thought but I couldn't photocopy it all and you can't take out periodicals. So I be stuck. I jotted notes by hand for 1 article before I realized I could just go downstairs and type it out at least and email it to myself. Better yet, I'd get it all on Word and send it.

That was easier said than done. It's faster than writing but it's still a lot and the damn keyboard wasn't helpin. The keys weren't sticky but I had to press on them hard. Talk about carpal tunnel syndrome. Then I figured I had enough to photocopy the last 2 articles. First I had to change my quarters into a loonie cuz that's the lowest coin the credit machine takes, son of a bitch. Turns out I didn't even need to add any money cuz someone had left their card at the photocopier and it had some money left on it! Typical.

Tomorrow's gonna be fun with the last-minute dashing. The thought of all that work makes me wanna...ughhh. Gotta go hard if ya wanna do a 10-pager in one day!

Aaaaand my computer is goin totally insane right now. I think it's MSN's fault...I signed in with my own name but somehow I've got my brother online when he's not and his contacts are poppin up for me. Dammit technology, don't crap out on me now when I've got important hw to do!

And the 1st one's done! One more to go! Agh, this week's gonna be hell with my last essay due in 3 days. I haven't started it, surprise. I need to go to the library tomorrow to get some research done and return these mofo books. Ideally, that'll be my last trip to school....no wait, that'd be Fri when I drop off the essay. Balls. Then THAT should be the last time I'll be there...not countin convocation. Oh god, I don't even wanna think of that.

So hi! I've been up since 8 (with 5 hrs sleep, not traumatic but still not healthy) and after drivin back and forth again this morning, I've literally been at the computer all day and night. I've been drinkin coffee and eatin at all kinds of fucked up times so my stomach's hurtin. But after hrs and hrs of readin and poundin out that damn essay to a nice, fat 17 pages, I'm so done with this. Except that I hafta keep on goin til I'm done my 2nd essay. Blar!

OK I'm an ass and I'm messed up, I don't deny it. Guess what I do the night before I have an essay due that I haven't finished yet? Well I'll tell you...I drive my brother from home to co-op then co-op to school, then (I know I shouldn't spare the time but I figure it'll take an hr max and some fresh air and exercise might be good) me and L plan to go for a walk. But I'm eatin lunch when she calls and I'm on Messenger and P catches me online. She wants to come out for a bit too but she's not ready so me and L go for Quizno's cuz she wants lunch and we'll pick her up later. P calls and says she talked to Vick online and she wants to come too. She's supposed to be back at work but whatever.

We go to the bank to deposit our tax cheques. We pick up P and Vick and go to the park. Too bad the sunshine fooled us again cuz it was pretty chilly. Yeah, no jacket. We see giant fish and a turtle in the pond, make one big trip around the paths. It's cold enough that we don't go for a 2nd round and hit Timmy's. Somebody comes up and slaps my shoulder. It's Clothes, which is weird cuz it's totally not in her area and I was lookin at her when we came in but it didn't occur to me :P She was studyin and was goin over to see Heather. Who cares. I dunno.

Then L wanted to go to the supermarket cuz she wanted fortune cookies for some reason so we went across to the T&T. We go off wandering and we hear P call L to come over. Who's there but He-man from hs, haha! And 2 other dudes that I recognize but don't really remember their names. Holy crap, he was so skinny and baby-faced back then. I guess you could say it's the change from boy to man! I knew the other guys but we were all lookin at He-man cuz we didn't recognize him at ALL. We're like, oh fuck...He-man? OMG! He looks so diff, it's crazy. He always was a nice guy tho...he did my woodwork assignment in shop class for me in grade 8, haha...none of the girls wanted to go near the bandsaw :P So that was just so strange runnin into him there. He said they were gonna have a bbq or whatever but he couldn't find what he needed so L said go to No Frills. I also saw my cousin and my aunt too at the checkout. What was goin on? The girls are like, OK what are we doin now? I have an essay to do and should be goin home now...but it's not like I'm gonna fight them. Vick says she's got her liquor at home. We're goin to her house to drink! But she doesn't have Sprite so we stop by No Frills. There's He-man again, haha. Vick and P went in and me and L stayed in the car so I was chattin with He-man in the parkin lot. I gave him my number so we can go clubbin whenever he goes next.

The girls want to pick up some food...samosas, 4 for $1?? Let's go! Haha. G calls and she's comin over too. We have Bacardi Limon and samosas that are too hot for our own good and chips and Chex Mix thingy stuff (well we totally defeated the point of goin for that walk) and we watch The One with Jet Li. Oh but it's not over. We find this game called Taboo and bust that out. Vick orders pizza. We play for a long time. That game is so much fun...the answers that came outta our mouth were just ridiculous but G took the cake. I dunno why she's allowed to play. The point is to get your team to guess the main word and you give clues but you can't say the 5 other words on there that are like the most obvious ones that'll help. ie PEPPER - black, salt, sneeze, etc. Apparently to G the shorter word for jewellery is accessories. Normal ppl would say jewel. "ACCESSORIES?? WTF Gina!" Hilarious.

And I was lyin on the couch and the fucker comes and puts her butt ON MY FACE. Well she was mostly on my forehead but I was wearin a cap and it mashed down into my eye. I'm like, quit playin, you made my contact move. It was outta place so my right eye was blurry. She's like, oh I saw it fall on the couch. I'm like, no that was a big teardrop, I'm cryin, you jackass. I hold open my eye and I'm like, where is it? Can you see it? She's like, it's folded! I'm like, WHAT? and I blink a lot to unfold it and put it back in place. She's like, I'm so sorry! Yeah thanks for sittin on my EYE and makin my contact FOLD while it's still in there! She didn't hear the end of it that day.

Anyway, I spent all of Mon just kickin it and drinkin...I was out from 2 to 10. What the FUCK is wrong with me? :P I knew I did it to myself with this hw. I'm dumb, what can I say. OK I'm finished, I'm goin to bed...or somethin.

Sunday, April 10, 2005

My bad, paintballin's next Sun. Good thing cuz I have today to work on my essay now :P That said, best weekend...in a while, haha.

So we get to Wegz and pretty much everyone is already there. Meen always has a big CLAN of ppl, friends and cousins and siblings and me, L, Al, and G, and her bf The Man, so we had to be in the big-screen area to fit everybody. I haven't seen that girl is so long. It's too bad I didn't get to talk to her more last night cuz a bday party is just too crazy to deal with esp when you're the bday girl/boy.

This bar is sick. It's huge and they've got all these games and TVs and off-track betting. A story on the horse racin later.

We sit down and there's clearly a lot of us and our waitress is pretty busy cuz she just keeps disappearing and everybody was gettin kinda mad about the lack of service. She looked like Robin from GH (Kimberly McCullough or somethin like that). I think I felt bad for her just cuz of that, haha...I'm like, aw it's Robin! I love her! That and she said it was her 1st week or whatever. So it was pretty slow service. We got our drinks eventually...yes, hittin the liquor before I got to eat! Can I think of a better idea? Haha. Everybody's talkin and lookin at what to order and waitin for the girl to come back so we want to go walk around and check out the place. We pass this booth of guys and one of them's like, hey wait...come and cheer my friend on into drinkin this beer. This place doesn't have pitchers, they have these like self-servin taps that look like blenders so they wanted their buddy to chug from the nozzle. We're like OK...Mike! Mike! Mike! Mike! Mike! And he did it but didn't go all the way so we were unimpressed, haha. It turned into chattin for a bit then we went off explorin again.

We came back to the table and ordered our food so then Al wanted to bet on a horse. I went with her and we didn't even make it to there cuz we came across the guys again. They invited us to sit with them and we hung out for a while. I think we were gone like 20 mins, L and G went lookin for us cuz they were like, I thought you were just gonna go make a quick bet, haha.

So the guys were a fun bunch, really chill and funny...couple cuties ;) Let's see if I can remember names...Chase, Mike ("You were yellin my name before!"), Jeff, and John. It was Chase's bday too...except he was a whole 20 yrs old! OMG when they told us how old they were, we were blown away. They were all 20-21 and they did NOT look it. They didn't think we looked as old as we did either so there we have it. Jeff, holy mother, I swear he looks at least 27...fuckin turnin 21! I made him give me his ID. Not only was the picture all scratched out so it was a big white splotch over the entire face, but he had hair in it so with whatever you could make out, it still looked nothing like him. I'm like, that's FAKE, you stole some dude's ID so you can get into bars! Haha. Good times. Chase and Mike were really close to drunk. Jeff and John were the DDs so they were keepin them in check. John was the quiet one but he was so nice :) "Ooh, you're vibrating!" Hahaha. They made us promise we'd play pool with them and bet on some horses. So we went to make bets and since nobody knew anythin about horse racin, they let some guy who worked there take care of it. They let me and Al pick the horse so we went by whichever had a name we liked-- No Free Parking, best one ever...and by random number, #4 JM Terror. Chase was loaded by now and he picked both of us up in each arm into the air and Al shrieked (she's the kind of person who is very sensitive to rib pokes, hahaha). Evvvverybody sittin at the counter watchin the races turned around like we had just interrupted them at the library, hahaha. Our race wasn't goin on yet so we said we'd come back and check on them later.

We left to go eat and me and Al were all in the gamblin mood so we made verbal bets on who was gonna win this Ultimate Fighter thing on the TV. I coulda made some money cuz my guy kicked some butt. Some friend of Meen's brought along her bf who kinda looked like Colin Farrell and they and Reema were laughin at our commentary. "Do you like that, bitch?" "Oooh yeah, you like bein on the ground...you like it in the FACE." "How about summa that? Takin ya down!" This was all dirty fightin of course ;)

We took a while eatin and talkin to Meen so we forgot about the boys and the horses so we went back an hr later. They were sittin with some girls who had drawn penises all over Chase in pen, hahaha. We asked if our horse won and it actually did! But Chase is like, I won money but these girls made me bet on another horse for $100 (or whatever he said) so I lost like 200 bucks. We're like, you fools! Don't make bets without us, see what happens! Tsk tsk. They were gonna let us keep the winnings too...we picked a winner and they went and got all greedy.

OK so the funny thing is, at the beginning Chase seemed to be into Al and they were playin around goin off holdin hands and Mike was all lonely so he wanted to hold my hand and they were both makin comments like, hot this and hot that, and Mike even said said he was all into me and shit...but by the end of the night, they switched, haha. It's all retarded drunk college business they way everythin went down and whatever, I know...so I have only this way in tellin what happened, in no particular order:

-the girls went in and out
-Mike had the word PENIS written on his hand
-Chase had pictures of them all over his arms and stomach
-L and G came by so it was a crowded booth
-Chase spilled beer twice
-Jeff went under the table to get to other side...all I saw was a hand comin up underneath and it scared me, haha
-we made plans to go to his cottage in Wasaga if we bring him a 2-4 for his 21st bday on May 24
-all of us questioned Jeff on his affinity for gettin close to guys
-Mike protested he was not
-Al told Jeff that she wanted to see him and Mike kiss
-Jeff tried to do it and Mike screamed, hahaha
-G got scared...and squished
-G wanted to get out of the booth
-Jeff went under the table again to get out to go to the bathroom, I told him there'll be a table leg in the way
-Jeff got stuck ("I can't get past this fuckin pole between my legs!" LOL)
-G didn't want to go under the table and get stuck like Jeff so she walked on top of the table
-Chase said I was a mean girl cuz I was bustin his chops for everythin (tho I said nothing mean to him at all, not seriously anyway :P)
-Chase said I hated him, haha
-Meen came by and met them all
-some girl came and jumped into Mike with her legs around him, haha (apparently they knew eachother)
-we went to play pool
-Al wanted Mike's barbed wire necklace
-we made a bet with girl & boy teams on who wins
-Al gambled for Mike's necklace...I wanted somethin too so I said I'd get his watch :P
-Mike was scared cuz he doesn't have skills so he wouldn't bet them
-Al saw Chase's diamond earring..."That's pretty...can I have it?" LOL
-Chase was drunk as hell yet still sunk more balls than me or Al
-we left at some time or another for some reason
-we finally met the infamous 6 (guy G is kinda dating)
-played foosball
-chilled back at Meen's table, checked out what everyone else was playin
-saw that girl and Mike MACKIN
-went back to pool with the boys
-topic of Mike kissin the girl came up..."Whatever, we fuckin SAW you!" Hahaha. "It meant nothing to me! I swear!"
-Meen and everybody did the cake and group picture thing...no one came to get us...fuckers
-whole lotta mackin between me and Chase and ultimately Al and Mike, bahaha (shit, what're the odds his name was Mike...she even said she lose it if she ran into Mike (ex) there :P

K I gotta stop writin like this. That was pretty much how the night went. I made myself sound like a complete skank bag. It was his bday, I was bein nice, haha. Al took pictures of all this, the ass...and video!! What a perv. Anyway, they were gettin to be a bit much so we jetted and hung out with Meen for a while. We said we'd be back, we had to spend some time with the bday girl. Meen and The Man went to bet on horse before callin it a night. We left our jackets over there tho and if we went back, the boys would never let us leave. The Man went to go get them and then they left. We did the goodbye with 6 and we all bounced. Chase has my number. He said he'd call me on Tues (what's with the random day, I dunno).

Just as L was gonna be dropped home, we decided to go for to Timmy's. We were there lookin at the pix on Al and G's cameras when Shane came in :) Weird since I haven't ever seen him at that Timmy's or at least he doesn't usually go to that one...and at like 2:30 am so what're the odds? We talked a bit and Adam was gonna come by but we were leavin. I just caught him in the parkin lot while we were still in our cars so I only got to say hi and bye.

Wow that was super long. It's better if I told it in person. Fish, you missed out. Outta control.
