New Fishies in my Fishy Factory

I got new fishies today. Albino Eureka Red male and female.
The male is in the middle of this photo, Bicolour top left, Bumblebee bottom right.

Male in middle, female (whose just white) top rightish.

Male in middle, female top left. Bicolour and Tawiaan Reef bottom left.

OK, Firefin right at the front, Albino Eureka Male right on top, and then Yellow Guy (don't know what he is) kind of behind him.

The Darkest One

Me- I don't even really want to watch this show.

Dad- What? Twister? This is your show. Remember?

Me- What?

Dad- This was your favorite show when you were a teenager. You were all about this show. You were friggin posessed.

Me- What? I was not. You don't know what you're talking about

Dad- Shut up and make some popcorn


I had high hopes for this weekend, I was going to get so much homework done. So far I haven't done anything. I'm going to Red Deer tomorrow, so I doubt anything will get done tomorrow either. I can feel the waves of panic settle over me, it's reassuring, because I've never been ahead of the game, only 2 steps behind.

My Most Daring HNT so Far

This is definately the hardest post I will probably ever do. It's HNT, tummy style. And I have to admit, the tummy shot is much much harder to post than last week's boob shot.

Court - What's that about?

Well I went to court. I got there and saw "the accused", that's what they're called when you're at court you see, not just the defendant, the accused. Anyway, then I sat in the waiting room with my boss and we chatted with this other lady who was also a witness but for another case.

Then the defense lawyer wanted to talk to me and my boss, so we went in this little room and sat around a table and he asked us questions about how the whole paperwork and cashout stuff is done. Then after that we went back to the waiting room so the defense lawyer could talk to the accused.

Let me tell you, those were the comfiest waiting room chairs I have ever sat on. Very cushiony. So then the accused went into the court room and we sat in the waiting room and apparently they pled guilty, well I guess she pled guilty because there was only one person charged but her husband was there so it's plural. Anyway, my boss had to go into the courtroom to give them the address of our office so that the accused could pay restitution. Then the accused, I guess the guilty by this point, came over to chat with me to see how school was going and stuff. And she was crying and I felt bad. Then the court people told me I could go home so I did.

And that's what court is about.

Most Awesome Ukranian Christmas Dinner Conversation

Dan(my brother)- Why do you guys always want to know what I'm doing? I could be a superhero

Dad- Yeah, there's Superman, Spiderman, Wonderman - you can be Womanman *laughing*

Dan- Wait, what? There's no Wonderman

Dad- Yeah but you can be Womanman, get it?

Mom- That's so lame

Me- Eyes rolled to the ceiling

It's Ukranian Christmas

Today is Ukranian Christmas, or maybe it was yesterday, in any case, we celebrated today. And celebrate did we ever, I did a zillion loads of laundry and watched a movie on TV and then we went to Baba's and ate a zillion different foods and then I went and saw Memoirs of a Geisha. It was good. Not as good as the book.

I went by myself. I didn't want to be around people today. I was depressed again. I keep thinking about the past, and thinking about all the things that change, and how we lose touch with people we thought we would be connected to forever and things like that make me sad. And I know things have to change, but it sucks nevertheless. Is that supposed to be one word? I don't know.

Anyway, the movie was good, but they left out some crucial stuff, and changed a lot of stuff from the book. But if I hadn't read the book I would have loved it I'm sure. But I did read it, so it was just pretty good in my books.

And I read all these critics talking about how amazing the dance was in the 12 inch shoes, ummm did you not notice that she TAKES THEM OFF. Cause I sure did.

Anyway, I have to go to court tomorrow morning. I'm going to get up early and curl my hair, so that I make a good impression on the judge. Seems like a good idea, probably not such a great one come 7am.

Saturday Night Hijinks

Dad- What's that garbage bag for?

Me- Nothing

Dad- Are you cleaning your room?

Me- Maybe

Dad- Maybe? What else would you be doing with it?

Me- Building a time machiene to go back in time to when my room was clean

Dad- That was 23 years ago. You were a baby

Me- Hoser

I'm Depressed - even though my boobs look good

Today Raymi, one of my favorite bloggers, made some crazy pillow thing and I thought it was awesome so I'm posting it here and linking to her site because I'm amazed at how amazing she is all the time.
I'm listening to David Bowie right now. I gave the cd to my dad for his birthday, but actually it turned out he had all the songs on different cds, so i kept it and gave him the money instead. I told Gina she should listen to some Bowie and that he's really good looking for an older gentleman and she laughed at me but it's totally true.
I mean seriously, yummy.

Today I spent the day fighting once again with the Faculty of Education. Seems they are unaware of proper counting technique and made the wrong program sheet for me, and insisted for a good 15 minutes that I need more chemistry courses to meet the requirements. I then proceeded to count out the chemistry courses I have taken on my fingers and show them that I do infact have all the chem I could ever possibly need. Ugh. I hate this faculty. It never ends.

It was my dad's birthday today, and also Katie's birthday. Yeah cake. Good day. Not really. Completely depressed. Feeling alittle better now though.

Came to the conclusion that even if I am single for the rest of forever, it has benefits. Like, I can always watch whatever I want on tv, or listen to whatever I want on the radio. And most importantly, I can buy as many pairs of shoes as I want.

Hello Lover - HNT is back

After a month and a half of torture, I have finally gotten my laptop back. Completely fixed, hard drive intact. Nothing lost. Wonderful.

Since my laptop has finally been returned, HNT can resume. This picture is dedicated to two guys, I don't know their names, but when I was younger and driving around with Gina, she encouraged me to flash them, and beyond my better judgement I did. Then we got stuck at a red light, and they were beside us, they said I was awesome, and then they followed us around a little until we lost them.



And just like it was against my better judgement to flash those guys so many years ago, it is against my better judgement to post this now. Oh well.

Post #200

sometimes I can't believe I've written this many posts, then I look back and see how dumb most of them are and I'm like OK, its all quantity and no quality. That's only partly true.

In any case - today I asked my boss if he minded being a reference on my resume as I apply for other jobs. He seemed shocked and stunned and looked like he was going to cry. I told him the job I was applying for was way better than this job, and then i told him what it was, and he was like yeah it's better.

He got a 10 day trip for 2 to Aruba for his christmas bonus. I got a freaking box of chocolates. When he told me about the trip (i don't know why he told me) I proceeded to tell him that "hey, you get a trip and i get a lame box of chocolates, not cool" and he was like "well you get a $100 gift certificate too" so i was like "ok, here's the deal, i'll give you the $100 gift certificate and you give me the trip", he did not reply.

I can't believe how long it's been since my last post. It feels like time is flying but at the same time it feels like I haven't been on the computer in a year. My laptop is still gone. They have 3 weeks left to fix it until that have to send me a replacement, and since they don't make my laptop anymore, I"ll be recieving an upgrade, which is sweet, but also very bad as I won't have any of my Matt Good demos anymore. I was a retard and didn't back up my files. I'm devestated.

So if anyone has them, feel free to share them with me and feel my eternal love forever and ever and ever.

I've been up for 22 hours and I am delirious. But i don't want to sleep. I worked 6am to 6pm today, and yesterday for that matter, and this shift kills me. I have no idea how I did it for 4 months straight. I drank 6 cups of coffee today. I love coffee.. mmmmm. I used this mug that looks like a globe, it was pretty sweet. But actually not as awesome as you might think.

OK, now it's sleeping time. I have to shop tomorrow, today I guess, and also change my school schedule.
Bah

THIS BLOG IS FINE HOLIDAY FUN

Put Your Hand Up if You Believe in Christmas Miracles

ME ME ME ME ME

I fucking passed biochem.

It's a Christmas Miracle!

After I got over the relief of passing, the sadness of getting a C set in. Hard to go from an A in the prereq to a C in this course. Oh well.

I have to work tomorrow. Christmas is a good time to work because usually people are kind of happy and then they give you a tip. One year I worked Christmas Eve and this guy gave me a $15 tip. I had to ask him if he was sure, and if he knew his change was $15. He was like "yeah, Merry Christmas!" That's the day I started to believe in Santa again. He was driving a red car.

Today I tipped the guy who pumped my gas $2 and he was really happy. But that's why I gave him a tip in the first place, because seriously, he has the best customer service skills I have ever seen. He's always really happy and smiling and really ummm joyfull would be the best word I suppose. Happy guy that guy.

OK so yesterday I saw King Kong and I was like this movie is going to suck but actually it was one of the bestest movies I've seen in a long time and I loved it so much I want to scream.

Seriously folks, this movie has everything, EVERYTHING. It has a beautiful lady, Naomi Watts is gorgeous, a super yummy guy, oh Adrien Brody delicious, a super cute giant gorilla who laughs like he's the cutest gorilla ever, and DINOSAURS.

Now, despite some major flaws over the dinosaurs, like T-Rex has bad vision, and relies on motion to be able to see, so if you lay there he can't see you, so that was kind of wrong, because she was lying there still as could be and the T-REx saw her, but then she was kind of moving around so I don't know, but other than that the dinosaurs were good.

And this movie is sad, did you know that? I didn't see the original. But I was freaking crying all over the place when he falls off the building and how he's trying to protect Naomi Watts and you can see he loves her and it's really sad.

Fine Holiday Fun

Liar Liar I'm gonna set your fucking Pants on Fire

OM-FUCKING-G!!! I'm in a frenzy. I'm in a fucking swearing hatred frenzy. Just finished Biochem final..

When someone says, ok it's cumulative, but 75% of the test is from the new stuff, how much new stuff are you expecting? 75% right?

Yeah, umm how about 23 out of 100? Does that sound like 75%? NO IT DOES NOT! It sounds like you fucking lied to me and I spent all my time studying stuff that wasn't on the test and now I fucking failed.

Failed hardcore. Probably not even just a little bit, a whole huge lot bit. Like - throw myself in front of a bus failed. Maybe I'll still pass the course and then I don't have to stay in school and extra year because this course fucked me over.

Le Sigh. Boo-urns to Biochem. That's for sure.

beep beep... tomorrow is biochem 310 final.. 50% of my grade.. beep beep

this afternoon i loved biochem, with the regulation of pathways, and the electron transport chain really floating my boat

right now i'm a puddle of worries

i don't know what goes where or what does what and basically i'm fucked... not in the good way

The Black Helicopter has taken off with my Heart

today my hero is Chad for letting me know that Matt Good posted a new demo, Black Helicopter. Ohh Matt Good, you never dissapoint me. Love it. Love it. Love it. Best Christmas present ever. Ok, maybe not, but it's a good one.

Promptly downloaded it and put it on my iPod and rocked out.

I'm back like you wouldn't believe

I know it's been awhile since I've posted, in all honesty, I kind of just forgot about blogging. I wasn't even trying to take a break from it, I just forgot to post. Weird.

Somehow I'm not worried about finals this year. I'm more worried that I'm not worried and then I just start freaking out and ignore all the studying I should be doing but am not.

I haven't done any EDU reading yet, or Psych reading, and somehow, I just don't care.

Did anyone who saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire notice that Harry Potter is Frodo Baggins. Seriously, at the end of the movie with him looking in at all the goodbyes, I was like, you are Frodo. I feel like they're making these movies and milking everything they can out of it. Like the first 2 were shot like older movies and this one was like a fucking blockbuster with a symphony and tear jerking scenes and rooting for the good guy and all that. But seriously now, Harry is Frodo, like he's all: I have to fight the battle alone (which doesn't actually happen in this movie but you know what I mean - unless you haven't read the books, then you don't know) so anyway, then Ron and Hermione are going to be - we're coming with you Harry. Blah blah. Which sounds an awful lot like "I'm coming with you to Mordor Mr. Frodo" curtosey of Samwise Gamgee. Anyway, I fucking love Harry Potter.

I have a biochem review in 10 minutes. Last week, I went to my proff's lab to pick up my midterm and he gave me a tour of the lab an explained some stuff he was doing. I don't understand him all that well, because he has a thick cuban accent, but the lab was awesome and it tug on my heart that I didn't go to grad school. Then he gave me my test and went through it and pointed out all the questions I got wrong and said that I had lots of room for improvement. Uhhh thanks, like yeah I know I didn't get 100% but I did go up 22% from the last midterm, so I thought it was pretty good.

Oh and also I got subpoenaed to court to testify in this lawsuit from work. It's going to be sweet. I'm going to put "Expert Witness" in my list of talents on my resume.

Dude

i like to read this book series about a chick named Stephanie and she's a bounty hunter. and i kind of like to think of myself like that, which is totally fucked up, but true. and i'm feeling like i should blog the truth tonight. so that's what you get. i wish i was a bounty hunter. no wait, mainly she has sex with two hot guys, so probably that's what i'm jealous of, and also she seems to have lots of good shoes, and i fucking love shoes. it's like we're kindred spirits. except she's fictional, i'm not crazy, i realize this, ok

today a customer flipped out at me at work. then i found out that a customer spit on one of my coworkers. if that was me, i would have fucking told him off and keyed his car. thats bullshit

he was mad because he had to pay the weekly rate, and was there for like 6days and 14 hours. lunatic. weekly rate starts at 5 days.

they want me to work tomorrow. they asked after my boss made fun of me in my toque, he said i looked like a jester. and then i made fun of him "this from the guy who needs a favor!" fuck i'm awesome. if only i believed that

it's true that i have been drinking. i don't care. i once kicked a guy in the back, everyone thought i was drunk. but really it was like a metaphor, not a simale, because he stabbed me in the back, and also my best friend. i kicked him, and i don't regret it.

some things i do regret. i like to tell myself that i don't regret anything, but that's a big fat lie.

i was watching leno, and tyra banks looked fat, i felt some satisfaction with that, i mean, she didn't look fat, but bigger than she normally does. body size is fucked up these days. that's not an excuse for me, but seriously man, it's crazy. size 0, who the fuck is a zero? that's not realistic

i've been listening to The Scientist by coldplay on repeat for hours. it's by far my favorite coldplay song. i lose myself in it. i love song like that. where it's almost like you're hypnotized, because all of a sudden it's over and you're like wtf?

ok bye

HNT

I'm cancelling HNT until I get my laptop back.

Skipped EDU again today. This is ridiculous. I just hate going to school lately. Well, sort of. I go to school, and then I don't go to class, which is actually really stupid, but yeah.

Anyway, skipped the class, and then went in at the end of the lecture and picked up the essay I handed in a month ago. Before I got the essay back I was kind of worried about it, since I had written it the night before it was due and all. But now that I have it back, I just don't care about this class at all. I mean fuck, I did really well. I no longer have any guilt over skipping that class.


Biochem proff is busy this week and has therefore cancelled all the classes. Such bullshit. I mean, if I don't want to go it's one thing, but to not have class after all these people pay $600 to be there? Bullshit. And it's the most interesting part, integrating metabolism into disease like diabetes and obesity. And now we have to do self-directed learning. Because just because there's no class, doesn't mean it won't be tested. ARG! I was really looking forward to these lectures.

Oh yeah, biochem midterm average: 85% This resulted in one girl getting quite bitchy and asking him if he meant to make it that easy. At which point I started imagining him yelling at her: "yes I fucking did mean for it to be that easy you stupid little bitch. fuck off and enjoy that you had an easy test! you want hard? fine- the final will be like getting raped in the ass with a cactus"

To tell you the truth, if I had to describe one exam like being raped in the ass with a cactus, it would be the Biology 207 Laboratory Examination.

Man, that was 3 years ago and I still shudder evertime I think about that test.

I think I'm going to apply for this awesome job. If I got it it would mean that I would have to drop out of school, but thinking about it makes me excited. I think it would really suit me. I don't want to say what it is because I'm an idiot, and GINA don't say what it is in the comments. I don't want to jinx it. I'm going to do it tomorrow.

Write a resume, a cover letter and get the fucking job. That way I don't have to go to school next semester.

How is it that I'm such a huge fuck-up all the time?

Ok rewind time.

It is now Wednesday again.

Severe panic attack as I'm walking into biochem midterm. Turn to page one of exam. I start blinking rapidly. I know the answer to question one. Turn page. I know question two, repeat sentance over and over until exam is done. (12 pages to be exact - 12 page exam in a 50 minute class, fucking crazy)

Wait, I knew the answers. Easy test, awesome. Am now in extrememly amazing good mood.

Fast forward to that evening, around midnight I'd say. I'm uploading songs to iTunes. I am happy. My arm gets a mind of its own and spills a glass of diet pepsi all over my laptop. I start screaming like a banchee and pick up laptop to drain it.

I start crying hysterically and try the computer. Nope, doesn't turn on. Doesn't do much of anything except when I look at it I start crying. I stay up all night long having a massive panic attack and crying like I've never cried before. All I can think about is how I want to eat my way into a coma and just die. Resist temptation to break into local bakery and steal all the cake. Total depression. Fucking computer, I love the fucking thing.

Must think of a way to clean the pepsi out of it so I can use the 3 year warantee. Dad comes up with a plan. We take it apart and clean it with rubbing alcohol. Ok, I agree to this.

Dad can't get it open. Now what? Good question. We recreate the scene of the crime and pour the rubbing alcohol into the computer, swish it around a bit and drain it.

Laptop is now at Future Shop, hopefully they can fix it.

Fuck.

HNT #7

I honnestly cannot believe this is my 7th week doing this. In all honnesty, I forgot about HNT this week.

I was totally preoccupied with a biochem midterm, and I forgot my toque in the city, so I have to take a break from toque HNT, and instead post a couple lame pics. mostly I'm sad, because I had a decent idea, oh well, next week I suppose.



Tonight I was finally able to relax, after a long long few days of nothing but metabolism and bioenergetics. (not that I don't like it, because actually I love metabolism, ugh I'm such a geek)..

Happy HNT!

2 hours 13 minutes until biochemistry midterm

i am fucked

fucked fucked fucked

no wait

its going to be ok

everything will be ok

breathe

stop blogging

It's a Birthday Montage. Turn up your SPEAKERS it's the most enjoyable part

A whole bunch of these pics include my bestest buddy Gina. Who got me an awesome fishy. Hi Gina!

Also, a big thanks to Grace for showing me how to get audio onto my blog.












Me right now; droopy eyed and delirious:

Only 1500 customers at work that yelled at me tonight. So that's pretty good. Not that many at all. I even had one guy rip up a coupon and throw it at me because he was mad that he couldn't have a discount, he was in the wrong parking lot. Idiot.

A coworker bought me supper and it was yummy. And now it is my birthday and I'm going to see Harry Potter on Imax with my brother and I am excited. Yeah yeah.

Also, it is really late and I'm totally delirious. But that's good.

Angela and I skipped EDU again today and instead we went to Whyte Ave. And we were walking down Whyte and then Angela was all "Stephanie! It's the Queens of the Stoneage!"

And it sure was. They were smoking beside their bus. And we walked right by them. We're so rad.

My First Theme Half-Nekkid Thursday

OK, this kicks off week 1 of at least 3 part HNT series featuring my absolute favorite thing about winter... my toque.

This toque is the only thing I have ever purchased from the GAP, ok, my mom bought it for me, but close enough. Oh wait, I have a GAP sweater, well that was a present too. OK this toque is one of two things I have ever recieved from the GAP, and honnestly, it is the bestest thing about winter and the whole reason I look forward to winter.



It nearly got stuck in the doors of a bus once, but I am grateful that it did not. As it brings me much joy in minus 35 degree weather.

OMG I did it. I made my own favicon. If you don't know what that is, look up at the URL, instead of the blogger pic, it's now a butterfly.

Yeah, I made that butterfly. Maybe this seems like a retarded thing to be proud of, but I'm computer illiterate, so I'm really quite proud.

You should bookmark me, because then the favicon will be in your bookmark list, and you can look at it and be like, "wow, is she ever awesome" because that is totally not what I am doing right now *lol*

EDIT: are favicons only seen in Mozilla? When I tried to view the blog in IE, no favicon. Hmmmm

I'm going to be honnest. Lately I fucking hate my blog. I just don't feel like blogging even a little bit. It's a little sad, because I remember when I first started the blog, and I would post like 12 nonsense posts a day, now I can't even come up with anything.

The only time I really feel like blogging is right now. When I have half an hour before biochem and nothing else to do. And today there is no EDIT 202 lab in the computer room so I can blog today.

Usually there is a lab and I look through the window at Felix and sometimes I stick my tongue out and laugh. Haha Felix.

This guy just walked by and he was talking on a cell phone, and he said: "You know what I just realized? That I'm thinking!"

Wow, at least I'm not that guy.

One time, in EDU 250, this weird guy sat beside me and elbowed me in the head (yes I've told this story before I knoW!) and now he's sitting beside me in the computer lab eating a bananna even though there are signs all over that say no food. And he only types with his index fingers, bananna covered index fingers.

I can hear music comming from somewhere, but I currently am unable to locate the source. And man oh man I wanted to stay home and watch Ellen this morning because it was her and Paul McCartney for a full hour and it looked like it was going to be really good but instead I was good and ran to the bus for some good transportation.

I have to go listen to Cuban music in biochem now.

Oh Man...

I've been sick with the flu for the past three days. It's been devestating to say the least. I was supposed to work Friday, Rememberance Day, double time and a half. But I was throwing up all over the place, so I didn't go to work, and I missed out on a stat holiday. devestating...

And now I'm home on Saturday night, doing nothing. Oh wait, that's normal. Hmmm Ok then

Music for Half Nekkid Thursday

I stole my brother's stereo and came up with this shot.
Happy HNT!

Whore House

Seriously guys, the two fishies who just had babies are pregnant again. What is wrong with fishies today? No standards, just hold the eggs of any fish that swims by. Unbelievable.

This Year It Might Just Happen

Oh I am excited to see the snow. Oh yes yes I am. I need more, more snow please. I don't want to cancel it this year. I need lots of snow.

Prepare yourself for what I am about to tell you. It is extremely awesome. And although it is a little bit premature, I am excited nonetheless.

It is looking as if "Stephanie's Snowboganning Birthday Extravaganza" may take place this year. Last year it was cancelled due to a lack of snow on the hill. But now that we have a little bit, I'm hopeful that in the next 2 weeks enough snow will accumulate for my extravaganza to take place.

Yesterday Gina and I found a budgie outside United Furniture Wearhouse. It was just sitting on the sidewalk being scared and cute. So Gina picked him up and I got a box from the fish store and we took him home. And he's supposed to come live with me because mom got excited about the bird and now she just decided she doesn't want him anymore. So I have to break the news to Gina. uhoh. Mainly we're not taking him because both me and mom are totally scared of birds. Not my fault though, you try liking birds when one flies across your face as you're hiding in your bed.

Yup, wild bird flying around my bedroom, all over me, until baba came downstairs to see what was going on because I was screaming so loudly, she caught it and took it outside. Crazy bird.

Ahoy Mates! Numero Deux!

Yes, this is the second post tonight. Mainly because I just realized something.

I was changing my calender so that it says November, not October. And I was like, Hey 2 weeks until my Birthday.

November 19th folks. The big 23. Hmmm, I think I'm having a "midlife" crisis. Fuck that.

Time to jam.

Ahoy Mates!

Ahhhh my days of listening to music on my computer are over. You see, my stereo broke about 7 months ago, and due to a lack of funds I have yet to replace it. Until today that is.

I went upstairs to my brothers room, and carried his down to my room. And I am now enjoying music at a proper volume, loud, and bass, and other amazing technological advances.

He is in Vancouver right now, playing soccer for the Golden Bears and has yet to discover that I have stolen his stereo.

It's going to be a good night.

I Want a Chimpanzee!

Ok, So instead of studying for my Psych midterm tomorrow, I decided to watch ER and Survivor.

OMG did you guys watch ER??!?! They had a chimp on there and they were treating it in secret. And then they're doing stuff to it like putting a heart moniter on its little finger and that "Put the Lime In the Coconut" song is playing. And the chimp is being sooooooooooo cute.

It was so cute that I had to call my mom to make sure she was watching the cuteness too. And she was, and we were like "OMG that chimp is so cute!"

And then, you know what happens? He DIES> the fucking cutest chimp in the whole world DIES. OMG OMG OMG. I was so mad. After the coconut song and all the cuteness, he dies. So they bring his mom in so she can say goodbye. And then the mom chimp starts picking things out of Abby's hair and that's cute and everything, but the little baby chimp is dead.

I'm never watching TV again, (except Survivor, oh and also Prison Break, oh and Lost, but that's IT).

EDIT: Ok wait, I forgot House and The Office, which, HELLO is the funniest thing in the world. Yeah, nothing funnier than that show. ANd fuck, House is amazing, plus the guy who plays house is yummy. Yeah I went there. He's yummy. I don't care how old he is. I'd be lucky to age that yummily.

EDIT Numero 2: Ok, that guy, I just remembered his name, Hugh Laurie. Ahhh. Time to study

Half Nekkid Thursday, this Ideal Distraction

A rushed Half Nekkid Thursday this week, as I am currently scrambling to finish an essay that I've had 2 months to write and left until the very last moment. I am the queen of procrastination.

Happy Half Nekkid Thursday everyone!

Matthew Good is the God of my Adultery

I ended up going to Matthew Good alone, my friend cancelled. Luckily I met Chad in line. I ended up knowing his friend Sean from summer school 6 years ago. I'm extremely surprised he remembered me. I was quiet and shy and everything I try not to be when I meet new people. But somehow words wouldn't really come out of my mouth, no matter what I did. Ughh. One thing I noticed about Chad is that he randomly starts dancing and kicking. It's funny.

I don't know where to start, I don't even know how to start. I just remember feeling my eyes glaze over in ecstasy as The Man from Harold Wood started to play. The anticipation, the excitement, and the joy. And then it happened. If there was another way to start this show, I couldn't fathom it. The Rat Who Would Be King. My heart melted instantaneously. I was floored and drawn in, and every feeling I've ever felt at a Matthew Good concert surfaced and I remembered why I love him so much.


And then it changed, we're knee deep in Avalanche. And I'm desperately happy, not only for me, because Avalanche is one of my favorite live songs, but for Chad as well, because he was hoping for it. I don't have words for that song, when he changes his pitch in the second "avalanche" verse, it gets me everytime. It's not recorded like that, I feel privy to a secret.

Load Me Up was next, I love crowd pumping songs. Although, the two guys behind me were singing very loudly and it was annoying. And one of them was moving his arms around crazily and he hit me in the head a number of times. But alas, I cannot complain.
We're So Heavy. By this point I'm in a joy coma. It's my favorite off White Light, and I've been dying to hear it. He's plays it, and it's everything I'm hoping for. More actually. Suburbia, I'm in shock that this can get better, I'm waiting for Carmelina to fuck things up, but that doesn't happen. (Actually I like Carmelina live, it's just not my favorite song by a long shot). I wanted him to play Suburbia so badly, sighs of happiness.

Anyhoo, Bright End of Nowhere was a surprise to me. I never thought he would play it. A welcomed surprise. And how can you go wrong with 21st Century Living? Answer: you can't.
Hello Time Bomb and Oh Be Joyful were exactly what I expected, happy and fun and rejuvenating.

I've been waiting for Empty Road for an eternity. I've only seen it live at the Joint, acoustic, beautiful enough for tears, and that was before White Light was released. And here it is. I wish it had been acoustic, but it was marvelous nonetheless. Then Weapon and Advertising On Police Cars and I'm always floored by both. Especially Advertising. Fuck I love that song.

And somehow it's the completely acoustic encore. And he's playing Prime Time Deliverance. I have been waiting for this moment since Underdogs was released. My eyes are teary and I'm wrapped up in something that I couldn't possibly explain with words. I will never feel that again. The pure beauty of it.
And somehow, when I think I can't take anymore, he's playing Tripoli. And he's playing Apparitions, and then it's Generation X-Wing. It's the most heartfelt performance I've ever seen. I'm floored. I've never in my life heard anything more moving than this encore.

This post is way longer than I intended. I just couldn't stop. I didn't know where to start, and I just couldn't end.

It's Post 170! The Sheer Excitement of it All

Today I did something I don't normally do for school and ended up regretting it hardcore. I curled my hair. When I left the house is looked fucking cute. Don't get me wrong, I'm not egotistical in the least, most of the time I look like I've been rolling around in the mud, but today my hair was cute. Then 15 minutes later the left side of my head uncurled and I looked like a stupid retard girl who was trying but just couldn't do it.

:), says:
you probably looked like you just got laid *L* flat hair on one side

I wore my fucking awesome cute shoes as well, thinking, "hey, I've only got one class, my feet will be awesome OK in these shoes". I forgot I had this dumb research project thing and that I basically had to walk all over campus all day long. And so my feet are so sore right now.

So after class, in which I spent my time drawing a cartoon of the proff, I went for coffee with Angela, and then we had lunch, and then as I was walking to the research
thing I started thinking "fuck this man" so I took off my shoes and walked around campus with just these "stalkings" on my feet. People were looking at me weird, and I was fantasizing hitting them with my shoes, but I don't want blood on them, so it was completely unrealistic. Probably blood is hard to get out of suede. Oh shoes, how can you be so cute? I just don't know.

Lyndsey has been showing my cartoons around the Faculty of Education, so slowly, but surely, the Stompy movement is gaining momentum. I love that guy, Halloween special comming up! I totally promise because I can see it in my head so therefore it will be done.

Matt Good this weekend. I'm going to one of the three shoes, and I'm sad about that. I think I'm going to go to the one on Monday as well. I invited Gina, she says the reason she can't go on Sat or Sun is because she has to work, now it's homework, grrrr. I have a midterm and a paper due! So it will be just me, alone. I've never gone to a concert alone before. I'm kind of scared about it, but I guess I'm there to hear him, not for conversation or anything so it's all good.

I'm going to dress up. Cause it's Halloween and all. I'm thinking of a sweet, and not hard at all costume. Pink bunny ears and probably extreme pink makeup and Sour Cherry Lipstick. A Matt Good costume for a Matt Good concert. I'm so cute. (I know, holy moly I gave myself a half compliment, fucking insane - don't get used to it hosers).

I'm Nekkid, You're Nekkid, We're all Nekkid - Half Nekkid!

Ho Hum, Happy Half Nekkid Thursday Everyone!
The unfortunate thing about making this pic black and white is that you can't see my awesome socks, which are red, white and pink and they look like candy cane's and feel like clouds!

Man oh Man

Last night I had this totally fucked up out of this world dream.

OK, so I was driving this submarine around the ocean and I had a crew but there were only 2 other crew memebers left because the other ones died when we had a runin with some sea pirates.

In any case, it was the 3 of us driving the submarine around the ocean. Then there was this other submarine driving straight for us and I was like "all hands on desk hosers!"

So the crew came and I was like "we're going to drive under the other submarine" but when we dove down the submarine started filling up with water and I was "uh oh". But it was OK, because we didn't fill up completely with water. But then somehow the temperature dropped off a whole fucking lot and the water started to freeze.

So we thought the best idea would be for all of us to lie on the floor and let the water freeze overtop of us because by this point there was a lot of fucking water and nowhere to hide.

So we all lay down and I had this button that I was going to push at the very last minute before it was complete ice over my face so that the submarine would start rising again because we were still underneath the other submarine.

Anyway, the ice started freezing, and somehow we could breath underwater? hmmm? OK, so then I'm watching the ice form and my body is getting cold. And I can't move because I'm frozen, which, let me tell you, was not part of the original plan. Then I remember falling asleep in the water as its freezing some more.

Then I open my eyes as the final layer of ice is freezing on top of me and I woke up FOR REAL, in real life I mean, because I couldn't breathe. It was the most fucked up thing ever.

Half-Nekkid Thursday

Happy Half-Nekkid Thursday everyone.
Wanna play? Check out the link in the sidebar.

I'm Stealing, ok?

Today on my way home from school, I was riding the bus you see, and I was looking out the window like a zombie when all of a sudden something caught my eye.
A large bunny and my hand flew to the bell to get off the bus. I walked up to the pole and started removing staples. I then proceeded to steal the Matthew Good poster like it was nobody's business.

Only like 10 people were watching. That's not so bad.

This is super funny

I don't know why stuff like this happens, I just don't understand

My Fish are Whores

Ok, my fishies are having babies. I thought they were dying but Gina says they're having babies so now two of my fishie momma's are in their own tank awaiting the arrival of the fishy babies.

Anyway, here's the pics of the fish I bought at the auction. He's big and pretty and red and white and I love him and he was worth every penny and I'm happy I got him and he didn't die.

Ok Dudes

Ok dudes, tomorrow I'm going to a fish auction.

Gina is making me go. I didn't buy any fish last time. But I was also totally drunk out of my mind at the last fish auction. Man I was drunk last time. Haha. Also, last time I had a hotdog at the concession and it was yummy, hopefully they'll be good this year and if they're not I'm leaving and going for lunch instead of watching the 14 hour fish auction and thinking about how awesome it would be if aliens were sucking my brains out.

So anyway, tomorrow is the fish auction. And today I saw Elizabethtown and it was OK. I mean, I enjoyed it, but I don't know how I feel about it really because I don't know why. That makes no sense. Well fuck it. Today is Saturday and I feel like a retard because I'm home on a Saturday night, but I actually don't give a shit because I didn't feel like doing anything and I'm the epitamy of antisocial right now.

Man I could really go for some coffee. And you know what's total bullshit? is that Tim Horton's raised their fucking prices! Like what the shit man? an extra 10 cents? $1.50 for a coffee? ahhhhhh fucking bullshit.

if there's no cute fish i'm going to go ballistic and then hyperventillate and then probably just have a hot dog.

I'm a retard and if you dont like it you can fug off man

Probably swearing isn't good manners in the title, so I should wait until the body of the post before I start swearing uncontrollably.

Today I'm a retard. I spent the last while downloading fucking Photoshop and now it's installed and working and I can't figure out how to use the fucking thing and I'm an idiot and that's that.

Then me and Isabel talked about how we're going to be whores on the same corner. And I was thinking that I should wear my new shoes:
And then I thought that maybe these shoes aren't slutty enough. But seriously guys. I'm in love with these shoes right now and all I can think about it how ahhhhh I love these shoes. And also, they are cute.

Weird noises are happening upstairs. Either my dad is walking around or there is a burglar in the house. Or maybe it's the TV.

I could go for some popcorn right about now.
But maybe I'll have popcorn tomorrow. Or I might go to the Women's Show and meet Rob and Amber from Survivor. Because that's what they're doing now. The Women's Show circuit. A couple years ago it was Colby from Survivor, and then last year is was Josh Duhamel from Las Vegas show and he's like fucking hotter than a sauna.

HNT

OK, so here's my first attempt at HNT (Half-Nekkid Thursday).

I really should be studying for my midterm.

You'd Better Take off those Dancing Pants or Someone is going to get Hurt

I forget what I was going to blog about. That's not good. Hmmm. Lost is on tonight. I should really study for EDU midterm, but ahh Lost is so good. Can't miss Lost nope nope. Hmmm still no idea what I was going to blog about.

Psych midterm was a fucking joke.

I was bitchy to a girl before the midterm. She was rudely talking super loud to her friend and was like "want to know how I remember what the hippocampus does? well it has 'camp' in it and so like you go to camp and you do stuff! haha!"

so I turned to her and I said "you know what makes more sense than that? it has 'campus' in it and you are in fact on campus LEARNING, yeah, campus, not camp"

and she proceeded with "oh! ha! that does make more sense! teehee fra la la"

I firmly believe that I should not be allowed to associate with 1st year students as I will probably kill them all.

Take Out Your Dancing Pants

OK guys, I passed biochem midterm. Party party party. Didn't do that great on it, but, I didn't fail. So there's that.

It's weird how a week of your life can just go by and you don't even really notice. Spending all that time in bed, and nothing really changed, didn't really miss anything important.

Today in EDU I saved a seat for someone and they did not come sit by me, so this other crazy guy came and he was moving around the whole time and kept kicking me and then he hit me in the head with his elbow and it was super annoying. And he kept talking to me during the movie we were watching and I was like "can't you see that I just want you to fuck off and stop talking to me and stop kicking me now?!?!" but as always I said nothing and just kind of nodded and kept watching the movie. In other news, psych midterm tomorrow. Also, I can't stop coughing.

Stephanie Secret: I don't like pizza

Brain Function is at an all time Low

I've been sick. I've had the worst head cold imaginable and then multiply that thought by a zillion and that's how sick I was/am. But I feel a little better today. I should hope so, I've spent the last 48hours sleeping. Not exactly the most productive few days. Two midterms comming up this week, about 4 weeks of reading to catch up on in the next 3 days. So this should be good.

Anyway, biochem midterm went better than expected, which is great because I was feeling so insanely drowsy before it, I'm just glad I managed to stay awake and answer all the questions. I don't have my mark, but since I anticipates like 10% i think I may have surpassed that.

I'm not too woried about the psych midterm. Friday was a review session in class and people were asking super dumbass questions, so dumb that even the prof started laughing. "Ummm, will we have to know which part of the brain does what?" Uhh YEAH dumbass. We spent over a week discussing it, you think it's not going to be on the exam? Well, that calmed my nerves at least.

It's a Panic Attack Kind of Day

I'm not ready. Biochem midterm tomorrow. I'm hyperventilating. I don't know all the enzymes. I don't know the structures of coenzymes. I don't know anything. I can't breathe.

It's a Miracle

Today something happened to me that has never ever ever happened to me before. I used up a school supply. I ran out of white out. Usually I lose pens before they run out of ink etc... So after years of just losing stuff or throwing stuff away, I've finally run out of something.

Goodbye white out - it was fun.. all the mistakes you erased, I appreciate it.

It's a Mad World

Busy busy weekend for me. Well, sort of. I got my hair cut on Thursday. I both like it and hate it simultaneously. Mainly because the chick was like, "its easy to style" and then when I tried to do it I looked like my head had exploded in stupidness. Anyway, Friday night, after an hour of trying to style the stupid hair, which ended up in a ponytail like always. So then we went to Gina's friends house and proceeded to get piss drunk out of our minds.

Then we went to the Stonehouse and had more drinks and then for some reason I decided I was hungry and left the bar, all by myself piss ass drunk. I walked for what seemed like a million years looking for the #6 bus stop but all I could find was #5. So then I got a little scared cause I was lost downtown and didn't know where the bar was.
So I managed to find a Tim Hortons and went inside and called my mom to tell her that I lost Gina and I'm lost downtown and I'm drunk and I can't find the bus stop so can someone please come and pick me up? So I waited at Tim Hortons and had a bagel. And then I called Gina's dad by accident and told him the whole story. THen my brother came and we went to McDonalds and had chicken nuggets.

The End
