(19) My day was so-so. It sure didn't start well, but I got over it, one has to. I hate my anthro class, the kids in it are seriously fucked in the head, ruining it for people who are actually interested in the course, where they just wanted an easy credit and an excuse to be with friends. I'm debating switching into history...I don't like history, and the teacher gives a hell of a lot of homework. Something that's annoying me right now... So Long As We Keep Our Bodies Numb We're Safe by Midtown. Wonderful song, beautiful lyrics and melody...for the first three minutes and ten seconds. Then for the next TEN MINUTES AND THREE SECONDS it's just the same monotonic/hardly melodic "don't listen, don't listen, don't listen" (apparently it's "you don't listen" but I can't hear the "you") with varying instrumentals. Seriously...13:13 is wayyy too freakin long for a song, it runs down the batteries on my crappy mp3 player and skipping to the next song does too, for some sad reason. I love the first part, don't get me wrong, I just can't imagine...what must they do at the concerts?? Do they honestly stand their for ten minutes chanting "don't listen, don't listennnn"???? Maybe there's a reason it's so long, like they wanted 13:13 or something, as soon as I know I might respect the reason, till then I'm annoyed with it running down my battery, cuz I like the rest of the song. It's a great 3:10 though, I must say, I do recommend it.

(18) (response to last note) Actually, other short songs I could use (this is more for my own entertainment by now) Little Boxes-Malvina Reynolds Little Bunny Foo Foo-Moldy Peaches The Man I Killed-NOFX All are pretty entertaining songs. Actually, they all make me laugh quite a bit.

(17) Today I thought about more topics for my anthro project. I also hardly came online, which is unusual for me, really. My uncle tagged my mom and step-dad as me on facebook, and I'm quite annoyed-I know it's so that I'll show them the pictures, but it's my facebook account...unless it's funny, don't tag my mom or step-dad as me, it's weird. I have this really weird cold right now, I'd hardly even go so far as to call it a cold. When I wake up in the morning, my nose is stuffed and it feels weird to swallow. Later on in the day, it's fine. The only coughing I do is to attempt to clear out my throat, which is barely bothering me, just a minor annoyance. It's not really a cold but I don't know what to call it...oh and I'm constantly thirsty and my lips are chapped, and it seems no ammount of lipchap will save them, haha. I watched an old movie today, 1960 H. G. Wells' movie "The Time Machine". The only reason I watched it was because I'd seen it mentioned in an interview on the dvd extras from "The Butterfly Effect"...it turned out to actually be a pretty decent movie, surprisingly! The only problems were the "suspenseful" parts and almost "scary" parts were entirely laughable...ex. People from the 60's: "omg it's a monster!!" People from the new century: "hahaha you can see the wires!! wow that blood looks fake!! Atomic bombs? Puh-lease!" ...and the music was annoying as hell...all instrumental generally based on brass instruments, which I never really liked...as well the voices of the actors were so quiet so I'd turn it up really loud, then it would get "suspenseful" and the music would blare, with the ever-used "BRAH-BRAH-BRAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!" of the trumpets sounding possibly imminent demise... Yeah, it's pretty hard to write onomatopoeia for trumpets...at least if it's "bang!" it makes sense haha. I finished "The Fourth Hand" by John Irving today, he's quite an entertaining author. It's the second book I've read by him (the first being "The World According to Garp", which I believe is better). Though sex and polygamy seem to be recurring themes in his books as far as I can tell, they're still quite good. Some time I'll start another of his books. I wish it were tomorrow...I'll admit, I'm one of those people who religiously check Postsecret every sunday. It's a wonderful site, I've been visiting it almost every week-summer sometimes excepted-since almost two years ago. http://postsecret.blogspot.com/ If you've never been there before, I highly recommend it. If you have...glad to share in the anonymity. Yesterday Mat suggested he wanted to hang out with me today, but I said no, I'd be going to my aunt's...that had at one point been the plan, but in truth, I'd felt bad because I'd just told Em that he says the cutest things, and thought that it would almost seem like a betrayal, even though I'd never do anything with anyone else...Mat also wants me to go with him to Vancouver, where I've always wanted to go, this summer, if neither of us make Team Canada...I really want to go, but I'm also slightly worried what people will think my intentions are. As much as one can say "who cares what others think", the minute the question of faithfulness comes into prospect, I usually snap. I suppose I'd need my mom's permission to leave in the first place though, which could be hard to get... If I had a daughter ask to take a plane very very far away with a guy she doesn't really know, to stay in a hotel, even though she has a boyfriend, and despite the fact that the guy's dad will probably be there...I doubt I'd say yes. I have this thing called "windows movie maker". I think I'm gonna see if I can make some cartoon clips on it using paint and a short song that I have on my computer...what song, I don't yet know. Probably "I like Giants" or "Loose Lips" by Kimya Dawson. Those are great songs. I guess any song with a story would work, I don't want to make a music video really, just an entertaining clip show.

(16) So today second semester started...yeah, on a friday. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Started out with gym, and I'm scared that at some point, there'll be grade nines joining our class, cuz I remember doing that when I was in grade nine, but there's grade nine sluts in the grade nine gym class this year, I honestly never want to meet them in a situation where I have something in my hands and am perfectly entitled to throw it at them...ex. dodgeball or something. Or if when we're training for our race, they get anywhere near me, and give me that dirty look they always give me...no supervision...ahhh. Not a good idea. French was interesting, the teacher said something really insightful that really made an impression...someone asked her, what's your favourite eye colour? She took a minute or so to think about it and said you know what? It's not the colour. It's the intensity, the intensity you see in people's eyes when you look in them, that's what makes the difference. Not sure why, but it really impressed me. Next came Anthro. The teacher seems a bit crazy (but what would you expect from a teacher of anthro/socio/psych...) Anyway, she told us about a summative project that'll be ongoing throughout the year, we have to pick a topic and do "empirical research" (em-pee-ri-cull...yeah, i thought it was "empire-ical" lol), which is basically like hands on talking to people and doing studies, instead of reading from a book, on a topic of our choice which she must approve. Personally, my first choice is the Chaos Theory, a.k.a. "the butterfly effect", I love the concept of it and she called it physics-wtf-but I believe it's very much tied into psychology. We'll see, she said I can do it if I can find a way to make it within the class guidelines... Then came Math...oh...man....insane. I'm taking mixed math, because university would have been too hard and fast for how I learn...but oh man..."this is a fraction"..."the order of operations is"..."we're not learning anything new until after march break"...could it get any better?? Perfect for my incessant laziness...and the class is tiny too. After school I went to a friend's house, we built a quincee because of all the snow (quincee=snow fort) cuz there was a storm...then we had pizza, played some great video games...good times. Now I'm home though...whoooole weekend ahead of me, no plans, what to do...

(15) My day today started with a bacon and cheese omelette. It actually looked like an omelette for once, and not scrambled eggs with bits of cheese in it (which still tastes good). Knowing that I had my bio exam, I decided to have a complete breakfast, it was great. Then I got on the bus. There's this kid at my school. I'm completely immature in saying this, I know, but generally, he annoys me...because of his face. Specifically...his mouth. He has huge lips, which he seems rarely capable of closing. So he looks kind of like a hamster, his upper lip jutting out, his lower lip hanging a bit, his teeth always exposed, not in a smile or grimmace, just...staring out. I have, on rare occasion, seen him close his mouth. I wish he'd do it more often. I don't know why. I do not know his name. I'll call him open-mouth-kid. The buses are either normal size, or they are articulated where I am, the articulated buses being basically the length of two busses. Today, I took the bus half an hour later than I usually do. It seems Open-Mouth-Kid decided to do this, too. Now, with the articualted buses, there are three doors. Usually, at major stops, they open all three, without asking for proof of purchase-bus tickets, transfers, bus pass-but it is assumed that if you have bus tickets, you should go through the front to get a transfer so if people check if you've paid or not. If it's not a major stop however, or if the bus isn't articulated, you aren't allowed to get on anywhere except the front door. So OMK (other way was too long) was standing at his stop, waiting for the articulated 8:00 bus to come to a complete stop at his not-major busstop. He sees someone get off the middle door and heads for it, instead of the front. The bus driver, however, doesn't let him through and starts closing the door. OMK gets a step in the door and steps up first however, but reallizes he can't push his way through, and ever-so-slowly falls backwards into the snowbank-losing his boot. No one helps him, we just watch, because we know what he was trying to do isn't allowed. He grabs his boot, but the door doesn't close, it stays open to the width of his boot. Then he walks, defeated, towards the front. I get up, and close the door. As I arrived at my second-last stop, there was a girl in a black and pink jacket. She was smiling. For about the ten minutes it took the next bus I had to take, she never stopped smiling. It was the kind of thing you see when someone laughs at something they think of...I found it somewhat different, though. She'd walk into the phone booth, look at the phone, and smile. Like she had planned some ingenious prank, or like the phone was a very well-told joke. I never understood what the joke was, and the bus came, and she got on the back as I got on the front. My exam wasn't too bad. Hopefully I did well. My warped logic is that if I get over 70%, I am better than the do-gooders; that's all I can ask. I went to starbucks, then got on the bus home. There was a man with a rosarie...it intrigued me. I'm not religious. I discovered Carla doesn't know what she wants to do with her life; this struck me as incredibly odd, as she is one of the most grade-driven people I know, even if not all the grades are earned, exactly. I'm curious what she'll go into. I'm going skating tomorrow. Should be pretty interesting, haven't gone in a while and my skates don't fit, which sucks, they're a bit small. I'll grin and bear it though, because I want beavertails. Today was quite eventful, much more than it seemed it would be at first. What a relief. Oh and Zaraiya, pretty poem, it's quite nice.

A while ago, one of my coaches showed me a clipping in the newspaper that she'd had for a while...later I went to look for it on the internet, turns out some dumb shits have changed what it says every once in a while, but I believe this is the closest version possible...I dunno, I thought it was amusing. "The following is an actual question given on a Washington State University Student Chemistry mid-term. Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following: First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added. This gives two possibilities: 1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. 2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct…… leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God." THE STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A"."

(13) Good luck :)

(12) Second entry today...but the first one was more of a rant/trying to get info out. Now it's just blabbing...what a past time. So, if I JUST pass my bio exam on tuesday, I'll come out of the class with a 66%. If I get a 70.5, I'll come out of the class with a 70.5...Basically I have to get over 70% if I want a mark that I'll be happy with...but the more I study, the less I understand. The less I understand the more frustrated I get, the more frustrated, the more distracted...and here we are. Back on the internet after what, 15 minutes of spinning a disc on my finger and trying to get the information to pass through my ever-wandering brain... So now, to further prolong my procrastination... That video game that I mentioned in one of my previous notes. WHAT A GREAT GAME!!! haha. Probably one of my favourites...sadly enough. It's a skateboarding game...it's called "Disney Extreme Skate Adventure"...sounds soooo dumb but it's actually insane. Basically, there's a bunch of levels in it, you can either play them all as a human character (which you can customize, and the longer you play, the more clothes and accessories you can get for the characters) or, depending on the level, you can play as a disney cartoon character (the levels are from the movies, the characters correspond to the movies, etc.). It's a really simple game, but what I loved about it most was some of the songs on it-the soundtrack, for the most part, is great! Some of the songs I was introduced to were... Somewhere on Fullerton-Allister ~~Loved the energy in this song, and the melody, it's just so upbeat Sell Out-Reel Big Fish ~~Second-favourite song on it, again great energy, fast and upbeat The Energy-Audiovent ~~Good song, not as good as the other too though Live In Stereo-Newsboys ~~Sort of mellow but still sort of cheery, not bad. I often find that playing video games is a great way to find some cool music...oh, also watching popular shows usually works... I often watch Grey's Anatomy, but from the first episode, I knew that if it started getting boring, I'd watch it for the songs anyway. Some songs... Life is Short-Butterfly Boucher ~~LOVE this song, first episode I ever watched I heard it, and was hooked Breathe-Anna Nalick ~~Pretty great song, love the first and second verses especially. How We Operate-Gomez ~~At times the guitar makes it sound creepy, but a great song, I really like the lyrics. The Ocean-The Bravery ~~Beautiful, beautiful song...the lyrics are great. "I carry your image, always in my head/folded and yellowed and torn at the edge/and i've looked upon it for so many years/slowly, i'm losing your face" Suddenly I See-KT Tunstall ~~Good song when in a happy, optimistic mood I Hate Everyone-Get Set Go ~~AMAZING SONG, no matter the mood...if you're in a happy mood, it's great, sad, great, mad, great, sarcastic, still great! Basically, it's an upbeat song, the singer sounds happy while singing about how he hates everyone. Night Rocker-The Chalets ~~Good song, like the beat and the guitar, tune in general Ramalama (Bang Bang)-Roisin Murphy ~~Haha, this is a pretty funny song. No clear meaning whatsoever, just really...well, you'll have to listen to find out. Alright. Enough SM...to facebook?

(11) I'm not sure if this link will work or not... http://hs.facebook.com/posted.php?id=8245094817# You'd probably have to have facebook. I couldn't find any other way to post it, though... I find it kind of disgusting that people should hate so much...I'm not even religious, at all, but man... If you are unable to access the page (probably due to not having facebook) but still want to hear it, google "shirley phelps podcast" or something...basically it's an interview by radio station Hot 99.5, and Shirley Phelps (daughter of Fred Phelps) and her family and "congregation"/"church" are going to protest at Heath Ledger's funeral, because he believed that there was nothing wrong with homosexuality...among other things she "thanks god for katrina and 9/11". I do not believe I am supporting her cause by posting the link... more just supporting those who oppose her...damn the host of the show is hilarious though, gotta love him for playing Elton John in the background... They also picket dead soldiers funerals, funerals of homosexuals...They say god hates Swedes, Canadians and Jews... "...two kinds of people walking the streets of this generation. Mostly doomed America-" "-No." "-But in this generation there are only two kinds of people that inhabit this world. You understand me? And God hates them both, and I'm gonna tell you what they are. You are either a filthy, practising pervert, or you are an enabler or their sin." "-Or a hater like you." "...Aha. No, you call us Servants of God-" "Why are you-Why are you and your family addicted to hatred?" "Excuse me-" "-Help me understand that, why are you addicted to hatred?" "Excuse me-" "His family has asked you-" "Do you want an answer or do you just want to hear yourself talk?" "No, I'll let you speak, Shirley" "Look dude, God hates f*gs-" "I told you, I told you do not use that language on this show." "Yeah. God hates f*gs." "Okay, well you're done, if you're gonna continue using that language on the show I'm gonna disconnect her from the show." (Dial Tone) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-STpW7jarrs There's this one too.

(10) 10th entry, woot...ha. I'm going to a party tonight. Gonna be pretty sick. Going shopping first though, which'll be fun...well, grocery shopping, but even grocery shopping can be great in hilarious company. Em's gonna be there, too. Haven't seen him in a while, and not complaining, but in truth he's been a tad annoying lately...so I have a mean plan. I woke up yesterday and my throat felt funny and this morning had the same thing, except my nose was a tad stuffed. I'm not sure if it's a cold or has something to do with my puffer, because occasionally my puffer irritates my throat...nonetheless I'm waging biological warfare on him just to get back to him, but if I'm sick, he won't know it because I'm gonna take sinus medication, just a tiny bit so it doesn't show. God, I'm a bitch haha. Oh well. I don't think he'll get sick anyway...I don't really care either, it's not like it would be a bad cold if he did, it'd be more of an inconvenience...which would make me laugh. Love you, Em haha :P
