I'm the birthday, I'm the birthday, I'm the birthday boy or girl!
Turning 20 is great. I plan to do it every year from now on. I've had an awesome day and it's not even over yet. Celina, Ina and Matt gave me a really nice necklace (although they don't remember the name if the stone in it, but it's pretty and green and I like it) and also took me out for lunch at Montana's ("I wish my legs were just broken!!") which was great too. Then someone wonderful got a dozen peachy roses delivered to my door (very much appreciated) and later brought himself and another beautiful present. My Mom also came over and gave me some orchids and a balloon. I'm presently on a break of sorts, but I'm going out for dinner in a little while which I'm very excited about.
This is probably one of my best birthdays. Definitely in the top twenty.... |

I'm so happy exams are over. In the last 24 hours I have:
- eaten delicious Chinese food
- got drunk and had lots of fun
- slept very well
- hung out with Rob
- hung out with Rob and Connie
- had lunch at Peel Pub with Rob and Connie
- went to the mall
- had dinner at Matt and Celina's (and soon to be my) apartment
I also accidentally skipped an on-call shift at work, but since I'm only there for four more days, I've decided that its not a big deal. |

| Can I tag along tonight? We'll kill some time... |

This is my new favourite song. It's kind of great. I've listened to it a million times today. And by a million I mean like...ten. Which is still a lot considering I've been out of my room for ten of the past twelve hours.
I'm actually not feeling productive at all, but I love the little productive icon man so much and I really wanted to use him.
I'm sitting at my desk eating an apple right now. I've got nothing to do all night. Which usually makes me feel kind of sad, alone on a Saturday night, wasted youth, etc., etc., but I don't really care today. Which is weird because I was feeling depressed and icky yesterday and this morning.
I don't know why I'm posting at all. I have nothing interesting to say. I just really felt like posting all of a sudden. It might be the song. It's so cute and happy. I guess I'll stop now. Sorry for wasting your valuable time and page space. |

I spent all day at Celina and Matt's new place (fun times were had at least by me) after work. I was gone for probably about 7 hours. Anyway, upon my returning to my room. I discovered that three of my four electrical outlets weren't working. Totally dead. When I went down to the front desk to ask what to do, I was told to ask the RA on duty to take a look, but a) I don't know what he could possibly do and b) he's currently at a party being held in the caf, and I'm pretty sure he would hate me if I bugged him when I still have lights and one outlet and he can't do anything anyway. Another girl on the floor told me that hers had been flickering on and off. So I plugged a lamp into one of the dead outlets so that it'll come on, and I'm waiting it out. But I'm still less than pleased. |

So.
This is the coolest thing that I've seen in a long time. In fact I think it is my new favourite thing.
Although you could just read the info they have on the site, I'm gonna tell you about it anyway. It's called Pandora. It was created my the Music Genome Project (possibly the coolest partnership of science and music ever, in which music was analyzed and broken down to the "genes" to find similarities between songs and styles). What it does is, you enter the name of a song or an artist that you like, and it creates sort of a radio station/playlist thing of songs similar to that song or that artists style. It's awesome. I love it. I have taken it upon myself to the good word to others (I should be getting paid. I am an excellent spokesperson. Haven't I made it sound cool?). Also I'm counting telling other people about it as a good deed, and since it's so cool, I figure I've filled my good deed quota for like, three months.
It think I'm going to stop now that I've made myself look like a total and complete nerd. |

I had a great day today. I don't even know why. I was just really really happy all day. It was great. I wish it happened more often.
Actually I know one of the things that made my day great. My roommate finally decided she couldn't stand me anymore and moved out. Oh well, her loss (shut up). Anyway, I have a ton more space and it's totally awesome and I love it. It also means that I have an extra bed, well actually I'm kind of turning it into a couch, mostly because I don't have extra sheets, but I'm sure any one who needs a place to stay sometime can tough it out.
So, to recap. Today was awesome, really. If you need a favour from me you're probably out of luck, because I can't see this lasting any longer than one day. Unless that favour is a bed to sleep on, then you're IN luck because I now have a spare. |

What is it with the lights at Dal that go out as soon as you're walking under them? It's totally not a coincidence anymore. And I've had about enough of it. Do your damn job street lamps!!
I should probably add something else to this since it's my first post in a long time. Ok, Ten Second Update (like the Ten Second Clean-Up, but not clean and without the cool running around effects and music):
School = very boring, can't wait for exams to be over, job = new one at the Shirreff Front Desk (woo!) starting next semester, eveything else = pretty good. Fin. |

I don't know why I love this so much. But I just do.
I think I may have to start a belt buckle collection. |

I've been a really strong craving for a cigarette lately.
Which is insane, because I've never smoked a cigarette in my entire life. The smell makes me nauseous, and I swore I'd never touch one after watching my stepdad's father die from like 10 cigarette related cancers.
But last night I couldn't fall asleep and all I could think about was going outside and having a smoke. Maybe I just wanted to go outside, and that's really the only legitimate reason to go outside in the middle of the night. Or maybe it's because I was all jittery from caffeine because I had been studying.
The only other explanation is that someone is injecting me with nicotine. Which is just...I'm not even going to pretend that thats possible. |

Mkay everybody. Celina and I are going to see The Corpse Bride tomorrow night (wait, it's 1:00am, so technically tonight) at 6:40 at the Sackville theatre. You should all come. If someone wants to come but needs a drive, I can probably pick them up, but I also may have to pick Celina up at work at 6:00. So yeah. Come. It'll be a good time. |

I am so frustrated. I've been trying to switch into a different psych lab since the first day of classes, and I've had ZERO luck. I've only got until Friday and if I can't switch, then I can't take my Abnormal Psycology class which just screws everything up. This sucks. Honestly, things usually just work out for me, it looks like its going to suck, and then the answer falls into my lap, or some teacher takes pity on me or something (I know this isn't exactly evoking sympathy). This time? Not so much. I just feel like crying. |

I am in love with McSweeney's.
Just go read the Lists. I think my favourtie is "Errors in Communication Between My Hairdresser and Me, in the Form of What I Said and What He Heard". Or maybe "Things This City Was Built On, Besides Rock 'n' Roll". |

I'm all moved in-ish. I'm here anyway. And so is my stuff. I met my roommate for the first time about 15 minutes ago. She seems nice. I just have strong reservations about living with a freshman. Really strong. "I haven't put any of my pictures on the wall yet because I don't want to take them all down again" strong. Which is just me being stupid. But honestly, being here with my roommate is making me feel more lonely than if I were all by myself, because shes hanging out and talking with all her friends and I'm . . . not. It kinda sucks. And by kinda I mean really. I kept to myself all last year because I was too shy to go out or do anything, and now it's come back to bite me in the ass. Which isn't accurate because it was biting me in the ass all year last year when I had no one to hang out with, but this just feels even worse because I already know what this year is going to be like.
ps.: I apologize for the pity post. It didn't start out this way, I'm sorry. Just don't leave little "aw muffin"-type comments to reassure me or anything, because it'll feel insincere.
pps.: My head is killing me. Thought you should know. |

Good and bad day at work today.
At first it was just normal, but then it started to rain. So we were watching a movie and Sarah, Emily and I decided to go down to the guards. And we get soaked. Especially me, since I fell on my ass twice. After that I ran around the parking lot and got even more wet. After that I may have had I water fight in the field with Cameron and Victoria. And after that I MAY have decided to go for a swim with all my clothes on. It's entirely possible. Then I DEFINITELY got bitched out by Lyndin and Courtney for playing around at work and having a "poor attitdue". So you know. Good and bad. Fun times but no one likes to be yelled.
Also it is Sarah Fran's (aka The Best Person in the Universe) birthday today, and she is totally awesome. I have to go take a shower now, since a bunch of us are going to East Side Marios to celebrate her 18 fabulous years on the planet.
EDIT: East Sides was awesome. Good times were had by all (as far as I know). I'm sad that tomorrow is the last day of work. I'm going to miss everybody SO much. This summer was the best. |

So I'm kind of having trouble registering for my classes. Not trouble as in "the stupid fucking thing won't work"-trouble, more like, "I don't know what to do"-trouble.
I had to go talk to the Assistant Dean earlier this year so that I could withdraw from one of my calculus courses. While I was there she helped my plan what courses I ought to take next year. And she suggested that I take this course Science 1050. I don't know if any of the other Dal people know about this course but its kind of this weird course where science students learn to deal with university stuff like meetings with the professor and meeting deadlines, etc, etc. It's the kind of thing that would probably have a "trucker" prefix if it were a high school course.
The actual problem is that I don't want to take this course. Or at least I think I don't want to. Okay, I KNOW I don't want to but I don't know if I ought to. Part of me is saying that I really don't need to take it, and part of me is saying that I'm just being stupid and arrogant and I ought to take the course, in case I ever need the Assistant Dean to help me again.
On top of that, if I decide not to take SCIE1050, then I could probably take the Abnormal Behaviour class that I really, really, really want to take.
So I've decided to suck it up, and turn to my friends for some good advice. (Please refrain from making comments about the quality of your advice, as I obviously value it. Otherwise I would not be asking.) Should I take the course that was recommended so that the Dean will be more inclined to help me if I ever need her assistance again, or should I take the course that I'm more interested in, and wouldn't feel like a total moron for attending? |

I'm sitting at my computer with my sneakers still on. Even though I got home more than an hour ago. I don't really know why.
I've been hanging out with people from work a lot lately. It's fun, for the last few days something feels weird. Like somethings missing. I think it might just be because summer is almost over, and I don't really know whats going to happen next year. The people I work with are kind of like temporary friends. You get to be really close to them, because they're the only people you really ever see, and then they kind of just disappear and you almost never see them.
I just had to use the spell check because I'm incapable of spelling disappear. I can never remember whether its two s's or two p's.
I was just reading through some of my stuff from DAL. I realized I'm a really secretive person. I never tell people things. I wonder what people know about me that I think they don't know. |
