may we unite in the spirit of procrastination

this is jsut a quick note to let all of my dear friends know that they are not alone in the world that is procrastination. I am also in the midst of distinctly large degrees of procrastination. Luckily, for me though my german paper is now due on thursday so i have a little bit more time then perhaps some of you. But, just so that you are all aware the 20 page paper has begun to rear its ugly head...so soon i will have to leave the happy land of procrastination and get my ass in gear. but until that day comes (sunday) i bid you all good night and happy procrastinating!!!

frickin' sick again

well this weekend brought a common occurence back into my life which i vowed would not happen in march...i got sick again. on friday i went out for dinner with my dad, sandy, nicole, sara and michelle for indian food at India Grill. it was really, really good but i felt sick pretty much from the time we got home but i thought that it was just the fact that i had had so much to eat because michelle siad that she felt not so great either, but hers went away and she went out.

About 2 hours later...so like 10 my yucky feeling hadn't gone away and well i started to throw up this previously very appetizing dinner. i hate being sick (especially throwing up) so i was a big baby and i called my mom. she came over and brought all the right things water, gingerale, gravol, tylenol so i took some gravol and was actually feeling better, or so i thought.

I spent the rest of the night with my head in the toilet and missed first aid on saturday morning and preceeded to get yelled at on sunday by my boss. it was a great fucking weekend!!!!

how was yours?

and the oscar goes to....

well last night was one of my favorite nights of the year...THE OSCARS. i normally get bored during the show though so i watch the beginning with best supporting actor and actress and costumes and makeup and all the documentaries and foreign film (the german movie didn't win...tear) then i watch other things for 2 hours and then i watch the good awards like besta actress and actor and director and movie and such.
Last night brought with it many suprises:
George Clooney- best supporting actor
Rachel Weiz- best supporting actress
Reese Witherspoon- best actress
Philip Seymour Hoffman- best actor
Ang Lee- best director
Crash- best picture
i was suprised that crash won as i expected that brokeback mountain would take the oscar for best picture. i suppose that this can been seen as quite an upset. but i am happy either way crash is a good movie too so its okay and plus paul haggis (the director) is canadian so thats wicked!!!
what did you all think of the oscars?

now its march

well it is now march and so that means that its time to reflect on the month of February, also known as the month in my life where nothing and i mean nothing got done. or at the very least it feels that way. February is never really a good month and there are a few reasons why:
1. its short...how can you get anything done in 28 days
2. February has reading week which is just a breeding ground for procrastination
3. its fucking cold...in fact it has been the coldest month of the winter
4. it has Valentine's day...or the biggest hallmark holiday
5. i was sick the entire month

so heres hoping that march will bring:
1. warm weather
2. lots of green beer and luck for St. Patrick's Day
3. complete lack of illness
and
4. lots of schoolwork done
march...i have high hopes for you...so you better not let me down!

what are they staring at?

do i have something on my face? mascara seeping from my eye sockets? WHAT?!?!?!(is it that obvious that i feel like death warmed over?) i have no idea. but all day yesterday whenever i left the house (which really means all day at school) i got the weirdest looks. And then i remembered...i chopped all my hair off and even though it is a perfectly normal thing ( i see tons of girls with short hair all the time) i think to some people its still a novelty.But do you really have to stare at me until your eyes are boring into the back of my short-haired head...seriously is it really necessary? seriously i love it...in fact i missed it (i had short hair for nearly 10 years...thats almost half my life!!!!) but i would rather you comment then just stare blankly at me until i get scared and want to run away and curl up in the fetal position in my closet.

Oh...and if for some reason it looks bad just tell me...i would rather know then walk around having a bad hair day! THANKS!!!

random

so i find it very interesting every time that i update this thing to look at random peoples blogs. i think that looking at other peoples blogs can show us a lot about the wide world that we live in because it sometimes seems like we think we are the only ones...and when you look around a bit you see that there are milions of people like you who leave their randomness out there for all to see too.
So next time you write in your blog or are reading someones click on NEXT BLOG and see what you can discover abot others in this big wide world of ours.

WHAT THE FUCK....LITERALLY

okay so i was watching the news today...yes this was a story on our good old edmonton news and i was alittle bit perplexed!?!?!?!? Now i am as big a fan of the text message as the next person in fact i text more then i phone some people but i would never have sex over a text message, or as the news likes to call it textual intercourse. Now i understand that text messages provide the cell phone user with a way to send private messages to those they are closest to discretly but i just can't imagine sending my significant other or even the man of the moment something like "oh baby you make me so wet" over a text message. I just couldn't bring myself to do it thats not what cell phones are for...it seems to me it would be just like putting your phone on vibrate and well you know.....
it weirded the shit out of me and i still don't understand why its newsworthy?!?!?!

F#@*K the POLICE

SO.... on tuesday night while i was deathly ill i decided that it would be a smart idea to go to my dad's house and bake a cake for my cake decorating class on wednesday cause it had to be done anyway and i was not about to miss cake class are you kidding we were gonna be making a rainbow cake....nothing and i mean nothing was gonna stop me. anyway back to the point of this whole rant....i was all hopped up on extra strength Sinutab and probably should not have been driving but had no choice cause my sister was busy and it is ridiculous for my father to come all the way to my house to pick me up...besides he was busy planning his golf trip with his buddies so i drove myself across town to his house made some cake and had a grand old time with nicole (my step sister). 11 rolled around and we were finished with the cake after many diasters (but thats a story for another blog) so i decided that i should go home, so i got in the car and went on my merry way. i had to turn left to get onto 66th street to go home and as i turned i turned a bit widely, thinking nothing of it i drove on singing to deathcab as i drove, and then i noticed the flashing lights behind me.

the cop pulled me over and his first question to me was..."mam do you have a liscence? and i responed through the beginning of tears that of course i did and i didn't understand what the problem was as i slowly took my liscence out of my wallet and handedit to him- he then preceeded to ask me if i was imparied...which i actuallly toook great offense to because as most of you know i would never drink and drive!!!! so anyway i told him i was not drunk and that i had bewen making cake and that if he anted he could call my dad, but he said that he believed me. Then he told me i was a very bad driver and that i should take more lessons....which made me even more upset so i started to cry then and in the depths of my soul i hope i made him feel bad because the police should not be so mean to poor innocent girls like me who actually did nothing wrong. so to the police...you should have gone and pulled over the drunk who was probably 3 blocks from where you pulled me over and taken away his right to drive rather then scaring the living shit out of me because you may have missed arresting someone important while you were wasting your time with me.

ps. on a much lighter note....the computer came and i am in LOVE and my sister is covetess

PORN!!!!

so i was in the car with my sister the other day and she told me that her friend eli and his girlfriend had seen PORN pasted all over the walls of one of the houses down the street from ours. i of course did not believe her in fact i thought that she was full of complete and total bullshit...which she sometimes is....anyways....so i didn't believe her until she told me that she had seen it too and that i should go look in the window of the house three doors down and i would see it too. so being me i went and looked not out of enjoyment just out of curiosity...why would someone ever put porn up on their walls in plain view of the street? i was curious....so i wandered the ten steps down the street and looked in the window and what did i see but....

PORN!!!!

all over the living room walls and thats not even the end of the story.... along with the porn there is also a treadmill which makes me wonder do these boys who live in this house (i know they are boys i have seen them) think that running on this treadmill will make them hot enough or buff enough to actually date girls who look like that...seriously do they realize that those girls don't actually look like that...there is such a thing as airbrushing....anyway i suppose we all have our delusions...but seriously do they really need to be that public....i think not!!!

the gay cowboy movie

brokeback mountain is not just a gay cowboy movie. i think that it is one of those movies that everyone should see because it makes you think and not many movies do that these days.

the movie is first and foremost a love story about two cowboys in the 60s but it is also this amazing commentary on the nature of love and wether or not all the trials and tribulations in relationships are worth it when you really love someone straight or gay, because really both of the situations are presented in the movie.

this is not a movie that would have been made ten or even five years ago but i think that it just proves that our society is ready and willing to think again about what they believe in...i even heard that filming this movie changed some of the views of the actors themselves which is fantastic. the effect of the changes that are taking place all over the world are reflected in the fact that this movie was made and that people are going to see it.

it is a piece of beautiful film making both cinematically and socially and it should and hopefully will be shown and talked about for a long time to come

slurpees in the winter...a man after my own heart

i was walking home the other day (friday i believe it was) and I saw a boy with a slurpee and i thought to myself i should get me one of those. I really do enjoy a slurpee or two in the winter...is that strange?!?! I know that its cold and all considering that we live in alberta but really it just makes me think of all the possibilities of warm weather to come...maybe not in edmonton but in other places that i wish i could go perhaps such as mexico or australia. i also find it fantastic that i am not the only one that feels the necessity to partake in this small enjoyable in my opinion year around pleasure. so to my slurpee drinking boy i salute you! oh and by the way will you marry me?

the student's arch nemesis...slow walkers

so i have decided that since this blog thing is so popualr i need to jump on the band wagon! woot woot for conformity!!! I am actually beginning this blog because i had an experince today that i feel compelled to rant about:
each and everyday i walk through hub mall, each morning, numerous times in the afternoon and each evening, and each and every day i get stuck behind the slowest walkers that god created. now don't get me wrong...
i am not the fastest walker that the world has ever seen in fact my sister thinks that i am one of the slowest...i disagree but this is not the point...
i don't have hours or even all that many minutes in between classes i have 10 minutes to be exact each and everyday betweeen each and every class so i don't have time to walk behind all those of you who feel the need to hold hands and window shop in hub mall...which the majority of you pass through, like myself multiple times each day. It doesn't change from day to day i promise.
So anyway...today....i am waling to my class in tory through hub mall and i am not late not early in the middle somewher..as per usual and i get stuck behind this boy...i shall call hom bob. so bob knows that i am behind him and that i am attempting to pass him as i have no time to mosey i have class, he blocks my ability to pass and i am destined to walk behind him from the fine arts side of hub mall all the way to tory. i don't think that it has ever taken me so long to get from one end of hub mall to the other...needless to say i was not in a good mood and that i felt a distinct need to yell at him...but i have controlled myself until now....so to slow walker bob....ARGGGGGGGGGG!!!! you made me late for class...all slow walkers beware i am coming for you!!!
