Just a few quick things:

1) I'm in Algonquin till next weekend. Then you'll get my usual yearly camping entry.

2) HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREW!
I know it's a bit late but the day isn't over yet so Happy 21st!

//tis all

"Wanna go for breakfast?"
-Don

Ohhh gosh. So I haven't updated in ... quite a while actually. Wow. I live! I'll just give you the highlights because I'll be lucky if I can remember what's happened:

WARNING! THIS ENTRY CONTAINS A HELLUVA LOT OF TALK ABOUT MY BOYFRIEND, AS WILL ALL MY ENTRIES IN THE FUTURE MORE THAN LIKELY AS HE'S MY LIFE. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.



One Month Anniversary
This was a huge milestone for me guys, I've never had a relationship last that long before, even though I know I'm going to marry my honeybee and have a perfect life with him. I was still uneasy until I passed this mark. Now that's it's over, I know nothing will ever separate us.

1) He got me an orchid for my anniversary present! OMG! It was adorable and he got me a card and he made sure the bow was red because red's my favorite color. He's so sweet! Awww! I loved it and I ran in the house to show my mom and brag about how absolutely adorable my boyfriend is.

2) He picked me up with his dad and brother, so I finally got to meet his real dad. Who was actually kickass and really chill. But can't drive and he didn't like that I was telling him how to drive hahaha he was like, "I don't like your girlfriend, Andrew." HE WAS DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! haha ohhh Don.

3) I got the tour of Don's house and then as Andrew and I were heading for our walk down to the beach, Steve, his borther, comes running down the street to us. And asked if we wanted to go for breakfast. So we headed out to breakfast and ended up in ...

4) Niagra Falls! Like, how random is that!? But it was so perfect. We got to see the falls and his dad was like chauffeuring (sp?) us around the town, looking for a place to eat since we had passed the trucker stop we were going to eat at in grimsby.

5) We had brunch at this random little dinner that like no one was going to, even though it was mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm orgasm in the mouth, seriously. I ordered a waffle with strawberries and whip cream on top and it was so delish. I finished it before the other 3 had barely got halfway into their meals. And they stared at me. Then the waitress molested me and tucked in my tag on my shirt.

6) We almost drove to the states but stopped along the river and Andrew and I went for this random walk where we found 2 grey herons and this set of stairs that lead down to the water and ended in a gate. Like .. if I had brought my camera. It was odd!

7) Drove back to Don's house and met Drew, who for some stupid reason decided to hide my shoe? Like .. what the fuck?! Asshat. And I met 2 of Andrew's random friends on a walk and OMG WE SAW A DEAD SEAGULL!!! I freaked. And we walked back so they could drive me home.

8) We stopped at Arby's and hahahahaha Andrew got like this large roast beef sandwich thing that was MASSIVE and came in a plastic container that Steve decided to call a helmet. Awesome. And then Andrew and I attempted to share a curly fry and he bit me! Ahaha I was like ow. Thanks. But it was cute! And it was such a fun day, it was perfect. [/end anniversary]

9) I decided that I was bored that Thursday and randomly took the train down to Burlington to see Andrew at work =) He was so surprised and happy! And I got to meet Annette, who's the baker at his work and she was so nice to me and told me that I'd made Andrew so happy and that she was really glad I was with him. I was like awwww, you're so nice.

10) We got our bathroom cupboards at some weekend since I last posted and it was pouring with rain. We had to go all the way to scarborough and we had tarps down on top of them in the back of my uncle's pick up but they still got kinda soaked. My mom was stressing all the way home, yelling, "my cabinets! My poor beautiful cabinets!" *eyeroll*

11) I took Andrew clothes shopping on Thursday because he badly needed new clothes. It was raining out and by the time we got to the Burlington Mall, which is right down the street from his house, his shoes had an inch of water inside them and his jacket was soaked, even though we had an umbrella we were sharing. I bought him $150 worth of clothes. He needed it.

12) My mom doesn't have a job right now so she's home all the time. Not cool. What is cool is that when she came home Wednesday and said she was done (Friday was suppose to be her last day before she got laid off cause the company is closing) she broguht me a strawberry sundae. SWEET!

13) Andrew and I went and saw UP Friday night and OMG GUYS! It's sooooooooo cute! And hahahahahahahaha Brian was working and Andrew got so jealous because I knew him. He kept going, "he's looking at you. I don't like it." And I'd go .. he knows me. Usually you look at people if you know them? But I thought it was adorable that he was jealous, even though he has nothing to be jealous of. And OMG claustrophobia. So many people in the theater. And we had to wait in the .. lobby? I was freaking. Not cool. But adorable movie is adorable. And it made me cry. Fuck.

14) There was this creeper at the GO station while I was waiting for my dad to pick me up after the movie (cause apparently the 27 doesn't run after 8:30 wuuuut!?) and he kept like .. shuffling around me and trying to talk to me. And he was wearing this orange jumpsuit so I was secretly pretending he was an escaped inmate. It amused me. HIGHLY. And yet scared me at the same time?

15) I want to go to the zoo. Badly. But my friends can't decide when/if we're going and Andrew says we can go with Marvin instead (his friend) if they don't decide soon cause he also really wants to go. I wanna see stingray bay! It's gonna be awesome. But we have to plan around everyone's work schedules so we need to pick a day so everyone can book it off and we can go. Me, my baby, Marvin, Nicole, Sammypants and Greg. I'm not sure if anyone else is being invited.

//long update is satisfactory and long?

"How'd you end up with this guy?"
-Andrew's stepdad

I think we have officially gone through the "meet the parents" stage. I met his parents last week (although I still have to meet his dad at some point, which should be awkward) and spent the day with them. His mom gave me a hug goodbye and I was like AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! She's such a sweetheart. His stepdad's pretty ok too. Then Andrew spent the day at my house yesterday and stayed for dinner, which he was terrified of cause he thinks my parents hate him and then my dad and I drove him home. He doesn't think my parents hate him anymore! YAY.

Anyways, so I'm been sucked into this cult thanks to my mom, which I'm sure I've told you about. I have no idea how I'm going to get out of this one. $400 for 12 sessions of these "light touches" that are suppose to be like going to see a chiropractor. I call bullshit.

And after the 12 sessions, they make you pay $60 for a "retest" to see how your posture and nervous system have improved (all they do is look at you, WUT?!) before they tell you you need to come back for another 2 months, but you only need to go twice a week instead of 3 times. Another $650 gone. I know because my mom just entered the twice a week bullshit. There is no way I am spending anymore money. I'm not noticing anything different. In fact, I'm pretty sure I have more problems and am in more pain then when I began! And I definitely feel violated.

Ugh, and my mom is still on my case about getting a summer job. Um yaaaaa I'm hoping that doesn't happen? Working is the bain of my existence. I would rather do ANYTHING else. School. Travel. Live with someone I hate. Rob a bank. That might not go so smoothly though .. You get the point!

//I don't want to drive today

"If you wanted the most exotic, expensive Egyptian animal, I would get it for you. I wouldn't be able to afford it, but I'd steal it if you wanted it."
-my baby

I GOT A NEW CELLPHONE!!!!! Doo-dah doo-dah! And the guy who sold it to me had a half front tooth and may have been hitting on me because there's no way he charged me enough and it was kinda sketchy cause he gave me his card and was like, "If you have ANY problems or questions or ANYthing, just give me a call." I'm hoping he says that to everyone. That seems like a normal thing to say to a customer, right?

But ya, cellphone is sexy, it's a Samsung Cleo u440. But it's square. And it's a blue with deep blue flowers on it ANNNND it has a camera. I'm very excited about this new phone guys. I still need to add you in now that I've got the hang of how it works. PICTURE: .

The reason I got it was because I wasn't getting some of my texts and it cost me like $75 on pay as you go for a week since I was texting so much. My dad was LIVID! Livid I tell you (although I'm not sure why because I was paying for it ...). So now I have a plan with unlimited texting and unlimited talking after 7pm-8am the next day and weekends are free. I love it. And it's only $30 a month. I win =D

And I'm sure you've all read/heard about my boyfriend by now so I won't gush again. My family thinks his name is the most hilarious/ironic thing in the world annnnd I resent them for it ahah whatever, I'm happy.

//my sister drew a pirate andher teacher turned it into a nazi

"Poop! Ahahaha"
-some random kid upon hearing that someone we know finds the word 'poop' hilarious

I walked to OP with my sister today cause it was nice out and I needed to do some shopping but I was too lazy to walk all the way to the dollar store. I spent far too much money but I bought this new battery charger and I'm actually really amused by it because it's blinky. oh, and I spend Friday/most of Saturday at Felicia's chillin out max and relaxin all cool =D

So, fight behind the cut? lmao you enjoy reading about the drama.

( Grow Up )

And I'm totally going to steal the .. it doesn't even have a title! I'm stealing the whatever the hell it is from Andrew, there.

Name some trios to either marry, screw or toss off a cliff.

And no, I'm not screening comments. Because .. well unless you want me to? I certainly won't be embarassed by the answers, so the only reason I would screen them is if you're uncomfortable asking. Dun dun DUN! Ask away, lovelies.

//pointless post is POINTLESS =)

"If that was a homosexual advance, I accept!"
-Russell Brand

So, I've got rid of my cold (though I've still got a bitchin cough) and I'm feeling much better. Placement is doing alright, I suppose, though the supervisors kinda scare me? Like they "raise their voices" at the children and it's kind of intimidating to tell the truth. And they don't answer me emails so I don't know if they received my planning forms or not or what the hell I'm suppsoe to do this week *eyeroll*

But yer, new layout. You love it, secretly.

And the party yesterday? Was absolutely fantastic until Nicole's other friends showed up that I didn't know - then it was awkward. And here's some reason's why you should never wear a dress:

1) McDonald's at 10 at night, wearing a dress, will get you a lot of stares and whispers.

2) There are creepers at gas stations. Who will stare. And stare. And stare. Then smirk.

3) Crazy gangstas in Mississauga will come towards your car on a red light, forcing you to lock the doors.

4) Old men driving by when you are walking will whistle and slow down to stare at you. Not cool.

"Do we need to get you a bed next to grandma in the hospital?"
-my aunt

Alright, so last Saturday was a disaster, to say the least. I spent $150 on some awesome ass clothes at Giant Tiger during my outing with my mom, aunt, sister and grandma. At 10 at night, just as I'm about to limber off to bed, I hear my grandma yell, "SANDY!" I clomp downstairs to see if my dad heard her and the next thing I know, 911 has been called.

My grandma can't breathe, some hot firemen arrive, just as a nude scene appears on my grandma's TV (and their reaction was hysterical; the one jumped in front of the screen with his arms outsplayed so she couldn't see the screen and yelled, "No wonder you can't breathe!"). Then some hot ambulance guys arrive - they clearly were handling my grandma, she had oxygen on, I was allowed to oggle.

They drive off, my mom and I get in the van and drive over to the hospital, arriving just after the ambulance. We're told to wait for 15 minutes while she gets settled and then they'll call us in. At midnight (clearly a LOT longer than 15 minutes later), as I'm snacking on my teddy grams, my mom tells me to harass the nurse to find out what's going on. She let's us in, we see my grandma who has an oxygen mask covering her entire head practically (I laughed so hard) and the doctor tells us they're waiting for the test results back but she'l be moved to ICU right after so there's no point in sticking around.

We go home and come back 10 hours later to see her in ICU. A day later she gets moved to the 4th floor and she's been there since. They STILL don't know what's wrong with her and are doing more tests. She's trying to kill herself by taking her oxygen off and running around the halls till she's coughing for air. Silly granny. She's supposed to be out in a day or so but she's doing quite fine besides the coughing till she passes out nonsense.

My entire reading week was a waste as I did absolutely nothing. It was joyous. And very hermit like as I didn't talk to anyone outside my family and I didn't really go anywhere outside the hospital and my house. I start my placement on Monday at 8:30 am at OLP junior YMCA and I think I'm going to want to kill myself or the kids before the day is out. I'll probably reconsider my career ... again, to be honest. Ughh I don't know what I want to do. No, actually, I do. I'll just die if I pursue it because I'm friken allergic to animals *sigh*

Holy fuck I do not feel well at all. My stomach hurts like hell and I think I'm going to be sick. Ughhhhhh ... and I have a headache! Do you not love my whining and complaining? The weather needs to warm it's ass up so I can get out. I'm very antsy and desperately want to go to London.

Oh! And Felicia invaded my house today lol she arrives just in time for dinner and then takes over my computer. I didn't mind, I was bored and too antsy to care about anything to be honest.

//Don't forget to change your clocks!

*Sam messaged me 3 times and they became emails to me instead*
-THE FUCKERY OF THE MSN

Alright, so if this mouse does not stop double clicking it about 3 seconds I will be forced to change it with a boring old black mouse. (The one I have now is blue/see-through and has blue and red lights inside.) I do not like boring old black mouses dammet! And what is going on with MSN? I must be the only person experiencing technical difficulties. MUST BE.

Anywho, last weekend I went out to TRCS and because it is super awesome, they now (or maybe it was a one time thing?) sell Venus Fly Traps. I WAS SO EXCITED!!! I bought one. And I've almost managed to kill it already. Here's my problem - I can't grow plants. Bamboo? DEAD - I pretty much caused it to go moldy and rot. Orchid? DEAD! VFT? I will force it to live goddamn it!

And that's pretty much my life in a nutshell ATM. I'm exciting, I KNOW.

//cows need to wear pants

PS OMG OMG OMG (I have this sudden sugar surge that makes me imagine old lady teachers naked in a lounge drinking burbon and pantsless cows and goldfish PLZ DO NOT ASK) so I watched Quarantine last night (wtf-ist movie ever Y/Y?) and I thought it was rabies as soon as I saw the lady but that's not the point. My sister managed to not have any nightmares BUT when she went to school today she got all jumpy cause she thought everyone was suddenly going to turn rabid and get her lmao hahaha this is brilliant! I'm so amused right now guys. I think it was the raisin bran muffin. Oh dear lord how I hate raisins, why would anyone ever eat them? They're like mushrooms, really. KILL THEM ALL!!!!

. . . ...... .................. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

"Greg, we should probably warn you that Tammy has a cold, black heart."
-Nicole

So, I wa suppose to go bowling last night. Didn't happen; mainly because it was crowded as fuck, but also because we didn't want to pay $40 per hour + the shoe rental. So after 10 minutes of standing around and not knowing what we were doing, we get back in the car. From there we:

1) Called about 3 different bowling alleys, hoping one was worth it. We found one that was like $5 a person per game, but it was on Cawthra and Sam really didn't want to drive downtown Mississauga to some sketchy bowling place. And we didn't have Hopedale Bowl's number so we didn't know if they were open.

2) Tried to see what was playing at Famous Players. Of course, they don't have it listed outside the fucking building, so Nicole and I run in and find out nothing was playing until after 9:30, and it was only like 20 after 8. So Greg, Sam's bf, gets out his cell and finds the number for AMC and Sam calls. There were so many things playing, but nothing was on until the same time as FP.

3) Looked at fish in the pet store. Um, so Petsmart? Not very fantastic with the animals, actually. When it was super pet, they had birds on the floor, small animals, (more) reptiles .. like there were animals! Now, there's like 3 cats and some fish. Not exciting.

4) Dragged Greg into a clothing store and we all made fun of the ridiculous outfits. Seriously, there was size 00 pants and I'm pretty sure my 10-year-old cousin couldn't fit in them, they were so small. And we all almost suffocated because it was stiffling in that store.

5) Drove around Bristol Circle, because they didn't believe AMC was there, and when we found it, we drove around the plaza because we had no luck finding anything to do. We cranked up her radio, rolled down the windows and started screaming the lyrics. Good times.

6) Then we drove back up to Dundas and it was only 10 after 9 so they all decided to do a swoop in through some Starbucks drive-thru. It took 10 minutes to figure out where the drive-thru was, for starters and then they couldn't decide what they wanted. And then they didn't have any strawberry sauce so they substitued raspberry and we thought Nicole might drop dead because she'd never had them before and might be allergic.

7) Went back to Famous Players and learned the only 3 things they wanted to see were playing after 10, so Sam started getting pissy and then everyone lost their cellphones (except me, somehow I lost my ring instead) and we drove back over to AMC. And couldn't find a parking spot because no one knew where the entrance was and they didn't believe me.

8) Ended up seeing He's Just Not Into You. I had given up trying to plead for a different movie at this point. It .. wasn't too bad. ( My feelings are spoilerish ) 2 random guys sitting in front of me (in the first row, I assume they came late as well) left halfway through and I started cracking up.

9) Dropped Nicole off, found everyone's cellphones like sliding around under the seats (my ring is still MIA in her car somewhere) and then Sam drove me home. I collapsed in bed at 12:30.

I got my nails done today and I have to say, they are flipping Springish. I'm hoping by wearing warm colors the weather wil improve, but it hasn't happened so far.

//my nails match the carrots at Longos

"I don't know [you stupid, stupid white girl]"
-some random Chinese woman who works at Dollarama, pretty sure she wanted to kill me, actually

Can someone please explain to me why I have seen A Cinderella Story starring ... ........ ......... Hilary Duff! (it took me 5 whole minutes to think of her name, lame! I started typing that girl who played in that Disney show, Lizzie - but I blanked out at how to spell the last name. I'm a genius, I know. [and I was too lazy to look it up, k?]) Twice within 24 hours? It seems every time I go downstairs my sister has that on TV.

And also, where is summer? Goddamn I can't stand this shitty snow anymore! And you know the worst part? There is this *new* sidewalk plough that has a snowblower in the front. So now, instead of worrying that I will be run over by the evil man driving on of these things, I have to worry about being shredded to bits and blown out all over the snow. Fan-fucking-tastic. And it's been snowing like every single motherfucking day! The only time snow will be acceptable from now on is if I get a snowday. And it is announced BEFORE I get there!

Oh, I had the weirdest dream last night (and because I can't think of anything to type, and I'm bored, you get to hear about it) that I had to go to my elementary school with my sister and some guy with long, wavy blonde hair clung to my leg like a kid and I had to drag him around, although I had NO CLUE who the fuck he was. And then, out of nowhere, Rory shows up in this hobo get up and has gained weight so my sister keels over laughing and says he's fat. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!

I clearly need to get out more. And it's so weird, I always have dreams about my elementary school, never HT. Usually zombie hordes are involved. I know, you're thrilled, aren't you? Right, I leave you with my disturbing thoughts ... and car, I might do that facebook thing at some point. If I can think of enough things.

//Yeah ... right.

"OMG so he answers the question and goes back on MSN!"
-my Fantasy and Fairy Tale prof

Alright, so first day back and I absolutely loved it. Got to sleep in cause my first class didn't start until 11 and then I had a prof I had last semester who is a fairly easy marker. The only thing that bugs me about her is that she say, "Aiiiight?" after ever sentence. Drives me up the fucking wall, aiiiight? GAH!

My second teacher is absolutely awesome so far, and I'm totally going to enjoy this class because so far I know all the answers and .. THERE ARE GUYS IN THIS CLASS. This is a major thing because every other course I have to take with the same people that are taking my section of the program - all who are catty females. So, even though most of the guys in this elective are asian, they are guys. And will make things a lot more interesting.

Example: TODAY!

K, so to start class we had to say our name and our favourite fairy tale and this one kid who isn't asian decides he doesn't like fairy tales. I'm thinking "well then why the hell are you in this class?" and he continues to explain that he wants to learn about the history of fairy tales and their impact on culture and that he's interested in German fairy tales. So the teacher tells us to get in groups and think about what a fairy tale is, where they come from, etc. and afterwards she asked people to share their opinions. So, of course, this guy decides to talk.

He was like, "Well, fairy tales came from Europe because Europe like invaded the world - sorry to say but it's true - and so that's why we have a lot of German stories like Hansel and Gretel."

And then this other guy from like Isreal or somewhere over there (he has an extremely thick accent, it takes a while to try and comprehend what he's saying) who also doens't like fairy tales was like, "I'd just like to say that you are wrong because, actually, my country took over a few places in Egypt and China. So you know, it wasn't just Europians. I mean, yes, they did invade a lot of places, but so did my people."

So the first guy decides to make the randomest comment ever that offends accent guy, "Oh, that's right, you guys have Aladdin."

Like, where the fuck did this come from? Ahahah did he just realize we were in a fairy tale course or somat? The rest of the class is like, why are we talking about invasions? But the best thing ever was accent guy's final words:

"Excuse me, I was just responding to what you were saying because you were wrong."

And then the teacher hurried on to change the subject and asked my opinion on it, to which sparked like her 10 minute lecture. I AM AWESOME. And a dork. And the class was only an hour instead of 3, fuck yeah!

So this is my schedule:

Mon&Tues: off first 7 weeks/placement last 7 weeks
Wednesday: Child abuse 11-1/Fantasy & Fairy Tales 3-6
Thursday: Observation in ECE 10-12/Nutrition 2-5
Friday: Play 2 from 8-11/Learning Environment 2 from 12-3

As late as Wednesdays are, I think they're going to be my favourite days. For fuck's sake, the textbooks for F&FT are two novels of compiled fairy tales! I am going to plough through them. Why can't all textbooks be novels? I would READ them if they were .. not just spend $600 and maybe read the first chapter.

//my grandmother doesn't understand circle roads

This is a SRS BSNS post.

So, as you may or may not have heard, the people who own LJ are jerkoffs. Due to ONTD's awesome newscasting, I learned here that like half the staff in San Francisco were laid off. From there, I wasn't to concerned because, as we all know, half the world is in economic downfall at the moment and layoffs are expected. HOWEVER, I like to read the comments because I learn more from actual users than technical jargon, and I was linked to a guy whose wife was one of the lj workers laid off.

And I was like WTF is going on LJ? You'd better not fucking die on me after I spent a buttload of money on a permanent account. I will go apeshit. So I went a little paranoid and backed up all my entries using LJarchive, which I downloaded here. I figured, you know, even if LJ doesn't break, I want my entries backed up anyway. It's easier to search through them this way if I'm looking for an entry and it looks so pretty.

But then I actually got kinda freaked out because I tried to read my friend's page and OHNOES! the site was down A-FUCKING-GAIN. I decided I needed a backup site because, believe it or not, I do like posting and if I didn't have LJ what the fuck would I do? And I keep tabs on communities easily using lj. So I went and got myself an Insanejournal account. Yes. I know. Yes. I know. I haaaaaaaaaate the main page layout cause it looks like a child threw up on it I changed the layout and thusly changed the ugly color, thankfully the user journals are exactly like LJs, as is the rest of the set up, so if I am forced to migrate, I'm all set.

I'm sure this is all going to blow over but, you know, like Scar from the Lion King says, "Be prepared!"

//Enough of this panicking

"OMG THAT'S CREEPY! Chris looks exactly like Brian!"
-my sister commenting on the 2006 yearbook

Meh, I've got nothing better to do on this lovely morning while waiting for my laundry to finish, so I might as well yoink! Andrew's idea and tell you the movies I want to see this year:

1. Inkheart (January 9)
2. Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (January 23)
3. Watchmen (March 6)
4. Monsters vs. Aliens (March 27)
5. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (March)
6. X-Men Origins: Wolverine (May 1)
7. Star Trek (May 8)
8. Terminator Salvation (May 22)
9. Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian (May 22)
10. Up (May 29)
11. Fast & Furious (June 5)
12. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (June 26)
13. Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (July 1)
14. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (July 17)
15. Nine (September 9)
16. Planet 51 (November 20)
17. Sherlock Holmes (November 20)
18. Cirque Du Freak
19. The Princess And The Frog (December 25)

I'm kinda iffy on Coraline, only because the book annoyed the shit out of me in the first 3 pages - hopefully the movie won't be with the Tim Burton direction.

So, later on I'll be changing my layout, when I get time. For now, you can all hold on to the holidays, even though most (if not all) of you are back in school - suckers. I'm thinking a masquarade [sic, I KNOW] theme.

//Why is HP so far away?

Hello all!

I know this has been a pretty crap year, but as livejournal was down for "emergency maintanence" I thought I'd write up this little bugger to remind you of some of the fastinating events I've been through.

1) Got into college
2) Left my crappy job at petcetera
3) Adopted and gave up my 2 cats, Tux and Dot
4) Kept none of my resolutions
5) I FINALLY WENT TO THE ZOO
6) My grandma had a quadruple bipass
7) I caused a ringworm scare
8) I was told I "have a Baby, was getting Married and would be in the Army during the summer"
9) My mom had a seizure/passed out in OP
10) I went clubbing for the first time

Ya, my birthday? Not so much fun. I spent more money than I should've, but my mom bought me a nice dress you'll eventually see pictures of.

And we start the new year off with a bangin' meme ( follow me )

HAPPY FUCKING NEW YEAR!

"That port's mine!"
-My grandma G. (don't touch the alcohol)

Alright, quick catch up on things you've missed, then a list of things to come.

Past

1) I went to my cousin Aaron's Christmas party on the 20th and had a blast. I was introduced to jell-o shooters and now love them for life. My 14-year-old cousin had more alcohol than me though, is that a little sad?

2) I finished first semester and got my grades - 4.0 average thank you very much (apparently the highest you can get is 4.3, but they don't ... give them out? So it doesn't matter).

3) My family and I extended our Christmas Eve tradition of looking at the lights in the rich district and drove along lakeshore to Burlington and back. I was very disappointed in the lack of lights, not going to lie. Putting some sort of lights up for one night of the year will neither destroy the planet or your wallet.

4) Christmas was fantastic - I'm pretty sure I bought more presents than I received but everyone ADORED what they were given so I felt all warm and toasty inside. And I only had 1 Smirnoff =)

4 and 1/2) We watched old school A Christmas Carol (the black and white version) and I have never realized how funny it was until now. The guy is absolutely cookey and I like it.

5) Felicia's family threw a dinner party on the 27th that included orange juice and vodka drinks for me. The food was crap though, and Felicia started an argument about starving people SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH it was very nice. I had sperm drawn on my leg.

6) I went to the zoo. After a year of begging, pleading, yelling, screaming, temper-tantrums, whining and complaining, I WIN! It was cold as fuck, half the animals were off exhibit but I didn't care. Zoo is <3

Yet to Come

1) IT'S MY MOTHERFUCKING BIRTHDAY TOMORROW! I will be 20. Not 18. 20. I will finally be as old as everyone else! And people wonder why my friends in college are only 18.

2) We're hosting a New Year's Eve bash at my place! There will be food. And an unknown movie. AND BOOZE. I'm going to have so much fun, only because everyone else will be smashed except for me, cause I don't get drunk.

3) I'm posting my year in review Wednesday morning, only because I won't have time that night.

4) Resolutions, etc. (no idea what the etc. is buuuuut ..) will be up New Years day.

//I apologize for my lack of Christmasing!

PS: Caroline ... it will get to you in 2-4 weeks, whenever I buy the goddamn stamps. I keep forgetting. And you will get it, cause I put effort into it!

Grammar + spelling need to be retaught in school in grade 12, so that when students graduate, they don't look like total idiots. I'm just saying, you know, putting the idea out there. (I will laugh so bloody hard if there is some mistake in this post now.)

I'm going to Toronto.
It's going to snow.

Christmas is coming!

"What the hell are 'whore durves'?"

Reasons why I'm tres excited to be off:

1) I watched the Dark Knight. It was well done but ... maybe I was just tired cause I almost feel asleep.

2) No more assignments. Or exams. Until January 15th. Bitching.

3) I get to chill with people I haven't been able to while I was at school.

4) IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!

5) I can decorate my room/house

6) I finally got a tree =) It's big and bushy. *mindgutter*

7) Presents.

//That is all.

So, guess who just bought herself a $175 permanent account? Yer, I love spending money on myself .. and it's not like something that will ever break or get used up (hence the *permanent* part) and $25 goes to charity so I give to someone else to. I just need to choose. In the meantime, does anyone want my remaining paid time? I have 130 days as I write this so I would assume that even if you have a paid account, you would get the time added on to whatever you have now. And more userpics to go crazy with ..

In other news, 1 week left of classes *dundun dundun dun DUN!* (ya, hungry, hungry hippos theme song. That's right.) and I'm pretty sure I failed my first exam I did on Monday cause I studied nothing. And then A MONTH OFF holy fuck. I'm excited. Except, I have to choose an elective and because I have field placement on Mondays and Tuesdays, I can't take the Undead: Vampire Study course on Monday. I'm going to end up doing some crappy criminology course now cause Nicole got second pick (yes, I'm lame and want to take the same course as someone I know).

Also, I have started going back to the gym and have a personal trainer who enjoys laughing at my lack of being able to pick up 20 pounds. He shall pay. Or I shall die. OR I'll go back to school and look like a shmale cause I have 10 training sessions with him in the next month. Either way, you know.

OH! Last thing. Email me your addresses, so I can send your generic Christmas cards (I was too lazy to make anything this year, but they're still awesome). No promises you'll get them beforehand, though.

//I don't have TB!

WHAT. JUST. HAPPENED?

I knew I should've killed Lisa off when I had the chance!

//NGL, I'm jealous

I am getting shot tomorrow. And next week. What is with the fucking needles? I'm hating this program more and more with each day that passes. But 3 more weeks till my month long holiday! Which means: baking, singing, dancing, random adventures, decorating. MY BIRTHDAY!

K, so I was looking for a meme for you guys and can I just say: never ever view the latest entries. Why? Within the first 10 entries, 6 were porn shoots. My eyes. Needless to say, you get no meme until I can see again.
