I don't know why, but today, I just want to say... I love you, flist :)
Even if we don't talk or comment on our blogs so much, I'm glad you're here.
xoxo ♥

 I ate so much more than usual today and felt FINE which is really amazing. I had soup and banana for breakfast, smoked salmon fillet sandwich and cream potato & leek soup and green tea for lunch, a stuffed shredded-carrots-cucumber-tomato-lettuce-bell pepper-cream-cheese-on-brown-bread sandwich for snack after class, arby's curly fries after physio, and then a couple dumplings when I got home! WOW!  I AM AMAZED but I don't feel too awesome now. I think I'm catching a cold. please be careful, guys. 

 We are going back an hour!! Which means I get an hour of sleep. YES. This is a good thing. How was your Halloween, guys? After I came home from yesterday's party, I didn't get to bed 'til 3.30am so when I had to wake up at 8.00am, I was really tired. I went to get a blood test and she had so much trouble getting the blood out, she had to squeeeeeze my arm. Now it's bruised. Then we went to Oakridge and mum bought me new perfume!! I love it. It's Lancôme's "miracle" and it's so nice. ^_^

I have a buttload of work this weekend again. sigh =( Hope you guys enjoy your Sunday. I'll be writing another paper. -_-;;

Stuck.
"Is banning advertisements aimed at children necessary to combat childhood obesity?"
OR
"Is there a link between pedophilia and child beauty pageants?"

I would love to research on both of these topics, but I can only choose one. I feel like I'd do a good job on the first topic, but the second one is so much more challenging and interesting. The only thing is, I don't have much time. I have to do my entire project on campus because my home PC and printer are totally kaputtttt. :(
My TA really wants someone to do #2, though, and I can totally see the argument there. Ahh...

Btw! What are you guys doing for Hallowe'en? I think I'm just going to head over to Trevor's party after I'm done here (I'm at school). No one's dressing up or anything. I think we're all too tired to dress up. :S Anyway, happy Halloween :)

Let me tell you about my morning, people! It started out with me waking up 45 minutes to the time I have to leave. I turn on my laptop and computer, getting ready to print out my lectures for the day and discover that my printer decided, quite suddenly, that it was a good time to take a holiday. After banging around for a good 20 minutes, I couldn't get the thing to print so I ran around stuffing books in my bag with a piece of toast hanging from my mouth. I thought it was going to be warm, but it turned out to be EFFING COLD. The sun is a lie and in Vancouver, who knows what weather you'll get. We only check the weather forecast for fun, just so at the end of the day, we can think about how wrong it was. I ended up being late for class again, but oh well, 'cause half the hall didn't show up anyway. There were only like, 100 people there, so I felt pretty good. HAHA. I had the most delicious split pea and ham soup during my walk from one side of the building to the other. I just got home after five hours of straight lectures and I'm feeling pretty good to still be in one piece. Having said that, I'm going to get something to eat because my stomach is about to ingest itself. Toodles.

ps. just wanted to thank people for joining my comm! It made me very happy and I hope the place will stay alive or it won't be much use... lol xoxo ♥

teehee, so I spent all night doing this. and jessica helped me with the graphics and layout! please join my new community? TH_VENUES

I went for my VANOC training yesterday! lol Basically what I do is direct human traffic and talk to visitors for 2010. It's gonna be fun, I hope :)

In other news, it's raining so hard today. My favourite restaurant a couple blocks down my house is closing on Wednesday. (Where will I get my Dim-Sum now???) I could walk there in 15 minutes and get yummy food and now....now....I can't. I went to Rogers afterwards to rent a video I'm supposed to watch for class. It's 138 minutes long. Oh my gosh. But I hear it's goood. It's The Lives of Others and I'm sure most of you have watched it already. It put me in the mood for surveillance/creepy sciency movies so I went and bought Knowing Predictions, State of Play, and ...well, this one's not creepy: The Soloist. I think Arianne was watching it last week or something and it made me think I should get to seeing this, so here I am.

Okay, I've got lotsa stuff to do now :S byeee xoxo

 i just got home, tired and worn out. I have to wake up in a few hours to head over for a training session. I want to just sleep forever. Plus I'm jealous of this Jordan Taylor chick. She's pretty and she's looks asian-y. :(

you can forget the details of my day for they are too painful to recount. woe. snap.

 "Today, my mom got a call from my little brothers elementary school. His kindergarten teacher went around the circle and asked him what they wanted to be when they grew up. He answered "Happy." The teacher then responded "No...you don't understand the question." My litle brother fired back with "Well, you don't understand life." I now have no doubt we are related. MLIA"

 How are you all doing? I said I'd update more frequently and then I forgot again. Looks like everyone is having a blast with the new Humanoid dates plus the signing sessions the US is getting. Really exciting stuff!!

oops, I forgot to finish this post before I went out...so, I'm back from the store and the bank. I bought a bottle of flax to help me focus. When I opened the bottle....holy smokes. The little gel capsule ain't so little. It's the length of half my thumb!!! -_-

I also found a wallet on the floor and returned it to the counter. When I was lining up to pay, the lady in front of me was the one that lost her wallet! She was so happy and said she wished she knew who it was and it was so nice of the person. I didn't say anything, but I felt really happy :) It's okay, ma'am. I'll be like your guardian angel lol

I gotta go to bed now. Getting drowsy...and I haven't slept or felt well in a while. 

 ...in front of the computer. I'm doing a critical analysis of the documentary Blue Gold and I just have to say, some of the things I watched are downright disgusting. Right now I'm reading about New River and I want to barf. It is pure toxic and a cocktail of disease. Anyone that falls into that thing will be hospitalized. HORROR. Okay. my brain is falling to pieces and I must continue this paper, but...oh my gosh. clean up your river. 

 I wish I was brave. 

You ever get that feeling that everyone else in the world is moving right on past you, going places you've only dreamed of and seeing things you didn't even know existed? Time didn't think to wait for you and you're left choking on the tiny dust particles along the road most travelled. Grit and sand crawls along your tongue as if fighting to take the final plunge down your throat. There's a heaviness in you that you can't shake off and your mind sighs, exhausted, because just how much more can you give until it's enough? There's a tiny, dark, and foreboding trail you see out of the corner of your eye and you shiver at first glance. This path you are on right now has made you fall so many times and it certainly hasn't been easy. But then, like a little miracle you are, you pick yourself up, wipe your bleeding knees and dry those leaking eyes. A deep breath swooshes into your lungs as you pivot to face the start of this tiny, narrow, and intimidating road. You think, 'How 'bout it?' and walk. 


So, how 'bout it?

Thanks for life. ♥

What are you thankful for this year?

to just move on. I've never been one to end things badly. Even if it takes shedding my pride and ego to make things comfortable again, I'd do it if I think it's worth it. If I move fast in a relationship, then I move even faster to patch things up when they're broken. I think I've done a decent job.

I woke up super early today to have breakfast with the family. Then I went with my mother to get her some new glasses. Oh my gawd, she's looking younger than me now. She got new Juicy Couture frames in coffee brown and interior pink. I'm so jealous hahaha Then I went to get a haircut. I still don't know what  to think of it. It's definitely lighter and a lot easier to manage. It's super layered, tho D: poo.

I'm going to do this massive chunk of homework and then catch up on....gLee :)

xoxo

 I'm going to try and blog everyday again. So last week, I visited the dentist twice and got six cavities fixed. I thought that was pretty brave...I hate seeing the dentist because I hate having stuff in my mouth, so y'know...it was epic. Spencer says I don't need to keep fishing for compliments because I know it was a big step. I like having other people know it's a big step :P but he's right. :)

I had a terrible couple weeks and I won't go into it. I'm going to try and make things better. I'm going to make things right for myself. 

Happy Thanksgiving xo

the fucker who wears his heart on his sleeve
catches the player just as she leaves
shows her the care she's never known 
she hesitates, confused; her system, blown
clear out of familiar waters and comfort zones
hypnotized into a garden of skulls and bones
the moon and stars makes their waves
across the sky as her mind caves
with his probing questions and disguised intentions
he's seen through the games and slipped by well
ace of hearts, he's no time to dwell
tables turn, something's shifted
she's hung on, but he's drifted
so, victor, take that fucking bow,
who's the fucking player now?

 I don't care. 
(I care a lot.) 

I have so much homework to do and I'm distracted. I slept at 7 this morning and automatically woke up at 9...I tried to sleep again, but I woke up at 11:30. I feel a little sick. 

How are you guys? Tell me something good that's happened to you lately :)

xo

Oh, Tom...I'm so proud of you.

 whoops! I totally screwed up the html on that last entry. xD

anyway, it's almost 11pm and I'm up doing homework and studying for a big test that's going to happen tomorrow...oh God. I hate Tuesdays more than I hate Mondays 'cause it's always so packed with things to do. imma gonna be busy for a long while after that. everything's snowballing! it was super cold today and me, who can never stay warm, froze to death. i was already dressed like a marshmallow, so i don't know why it's not working. maybe i should make like a bird and fly south for the winter. =P

oh yeah, and I broke my showerhead this morning. water went spraying onto the ceiling and the floor. would've been funny if it didn't happen to me. lol. ah, life.
