It's been a long time.

So...

I'm off to Uganda for a month leaving on around May 13th. All that's standing in the way now is one more exam. By 3:30 tomorrow I am done! I can't believe it-- Uganda. A dream coming true!!!

Also found out today I have got a job here in London for when I get back. Working as an inclusion councellor so I am very excited. Probably try to pick up a second job as well.

ALSO- I LOVE GORDON RAMSEY and I just thought you all should know that. I had never even heard of him like a week ago. But now, oh man what a guy. The icon speaks the truth. You should all watch Kitchen Nightmares.

Please feel free to disregard [Apr. 10th, 2007|09:21 pm]
I am pretty sure that Ryan was kinda trying to ask me out today at the end of French, but I avoided the question and then left. He just asked if he could see me again before the end of the year- but I will see him in class on Thursday and then at the exam, so I just pointed that out and then left.
I feel bad- but I am not going out with him.

Oddly enough part way through today I got really tired of waiting for ah0 lets say Brian- to message me back, and was just thought, fuck this, I dont need this at all. I'm done with that kid for now. Ha! Famous last words. Saw him in the cafe when getting dinner, and long story shorter, he came up with the idea of me defecting from my team on Thursday and going over to his. And of course he made me happy- and I was all smiley again.

This is the problem. He does just enough to keep the faintest glimmer of hope alive- even though I know it'll never happen. I have precious little confidence built up- and rejection from him would pretty much destroy that for a while.

Also, Justin Trudeau as Talbot Papineau- other than the mustache making me think he looked a bit like Hitler the first time they flashed the pic- it was awesome. I'm amused though that he played Papineau and is running in Papineau.

So much reading to do, and just not alot of motivation to do it. I was productive yesterday. Not so much today.

Though frick- things have been goign really well. I hope we get another soccer game together sometime soon. Cause that was awesome. As was the going away party. And lots of other things.

The end.
Well, not really.
But for now.

Cause sometimes life is just full of Thunder and Sun [Mar. 13th, 2007|01:39 am]
Has anyone else ever had that moment where you realize that your slight attraction has blossomed into a full blown-always makes you smile -over analyze every single thing- look forward to even just a hi all day- crush, and at the same time you realize it'll never happen?

Gotta love those moments.
And I'll see him pretty much everyday for at least the rest of the week. And whisper in his ear.

Also, busiest, most stressful crazy time of my life right now. I shouldn't even be giving 10 seconds of thought to this. But- SOPH INTERVIEWS SOON!!! Super-pumped.

Arrgg, essay.

Tis Picture time... [Mar. 10th, 2007|12:02 am]
Hey all, long time no update, facebook and school have taken over my life.

I finally managed to take some time to post the pictures from the London Josh Groban concert. The pics were all taken by Erin's mom. She took 141 from the night. There are not nearly that many, but still beware it may take a crazy long time to load. Sorry.

So here are the best ones )

Anyway... [Feb. 8th, 2007|12:31 am]
Wow, it's been forever since I updated here. Facebook seems to have taken over.

I had no idea February was a demon month of stress at university. Why was there no warning of this?
But I think I have figured it out, double major in Childhood and Social Relations and Social Justice and Peace. I know Social justice and peace sounds like a cracked out left wing hippie program, and some courses are, but there are courses about food distribution systems, and African development and other such things which interest me alot.

Also, I'm pathetic. Mr. Insanley attractive man said hi to me today and we talked for, ohh, I dunno, 2 minutes and it made at least my whole day. But, ahh, fuck, so hot. And a drama nerd.

Silent Asylum "tribute" to Creed = one of the best things ever.

Paula Perri makes me swoom, I'm not even gay and part of me wants her babies.

Wheeee [Nov. 8th, 2006|02:23 am]
New Josh Groban CD tomorow, HMV called and said it was in, so as soon as french is done I will be going to the mall to pick it up, bonus DVD included.
Also concert dates will apparently be up tomorow, and I am going this time. So excited.

There are some complications with going back to Smiths Falls for MassO for Katimavik though. Mostly becuase I don't have 200 dollars to spend on train or bus tickets. But I really want to go, so I have no idea what to do about that, I shall have to phone Nadine and the Parents.

I should get my mark back for my first childhood exam. If we don't get them back I shall be angry. I think it went well, but sometimes one can think that and still end up with a shit mark.

Too many stories to tell, not enough time. The sexy dance was performed, and it was awesome. Of course how could it not be when we were performing our sexy dance to Filthy Gorgeous by the Scissor Sisters. I have managed to convert a few new fans.

I have at least one part in the one act plays we are doing next for Kings Players, and I also am an understudy for another part. It was unexpected but exciting.

Sociology exam on Thursday, scares the shit out of me.

Why do I still want to be friends with Francis after everything?? Why?

JOSH!!!!! WOO- HOO!!!

Itès only a few minutes long, and it is awesome. I go to school with the guys who did it.


Relay for life was fun! Lots of music, and fun times, and talking to Pieter for the first time. He did Katimavik as well, and it was awesome to talk to someone else who knows the program.

Do you ever feel like there is ever just too much? I don't know where to start. Or what I can do from my dorm room. I was told tonight that I need to pick a cause, but I can't. And really I don't think I need to.
Here is something I don't understand. Factories in the 3rd world pay their workers horrible wages. What we are always asked is, "would you be willing to pay more for a shirt that you know was made in beter conditions?" This question avoids the issue. The problem is the insane profit being pulled down by the corporations. The price to us could stay the same, workers could get payed fair wages, and decent working conditions- but the profits would have to decrease. That is where the problem lies, in the huge and ever growing gap between the rich and the poor.

I am finding lots of places that I want to apply for this summer, hopefully I won't have to end up in a shitty city job this summer.

Childhood was good today, it's about time. Actually all my classes went well today, I am actually getting all there "discourses". Or, at least according to one of the TA's.
I have more rants, but I don't think anyone wants to hear any of those.

PIRATES... pirates. [Sep. 23rd, 2006|02:23 am]

What was tonight? Hands down the best poem I have ever heard performed, Nathan aka, Billy Shakes needs to publish a book of poems. Crazy good stuff right there, about a guy facing the spanish inquisiton. 

Also, Nick and Taylor doing their pirate song, and a song about a racist dragon, who gets whats comming to him, and then stops being racist. 

All of this to support Aids awareness, lots of music as well. Saw James again, he may be one of the biggest sweethearts on the planet. 

But, mostly now I am tired, and trying to feel happy about the way tonight went. It was mostly good for sure, but then, well, lame!!!

Ugh, find your baseball glove. 


Also, I miss my Katimavik family like crazy. 

And I remember carrying the tarp back to Kings after opening ceremonies. For some reason I hope that I dont forget that.

O week pictures soon, I got the ones that Suhee took onto my comp.

O week is officially over now, which sucks, I'll never forget the week I just had I met some amazing people, and hopefully made some friends that will last throughout the year. 

There was some crying, some declerations of love, some cheek kisses, tons of hugs and thank yous from both sides. 

I will miss the green shirts. I wish you could all have gone through that with me, frosh week is what you make of it, and Kings made it amazing. 

Katimavik and Kings, I'm loving these K's. I cant believe how lucky I am to get to go from one to the other, and be surrounded by all these amazing people. And in between to go back to the friends I made in high school. I love you all. Thanks so much for everything you have done for me. Who knows where I would be without you. 

I've got someone to play catch with!!! The parents are brining the glove on Saturday. 

Good night all around. 


It's not over- O week forever, 

Too many awesome cheers. Espicially the mullet one.

O week forever!!! [Sep. 11th, 2006|01:15 am]
Today, 

Sophs woke us up at 8:00am, much cheering, and door banging, and what not. 

Went down for breakfast after getting dressed and what not, walked into the room and the sophs all cheered, there were hardly any frosh there, so they were really excited when we showed up. The french toast was really good. 

Then SHINERAMA, rasing money for that, a charity that fights Cystic Fibroses.  Running for the bus, almost missing it, getting back to Campus, 10 minutes then learned another cheer. Then on to Closing ceremonies. 

Kings College raised the most money for both TERRY FOX and SHINERAMA!! This is why I love my school. Or one of the reasons anyway. 
Also our cheer kicked ass. Our sophs are awesome, and we were all cheering trogether, with Huron and Brecia the other affiliates. HBK!!!!!

The engineers were being the biggest asshats. They didnt clap or cheer for anyone, instead they just interupted everyone else by screaming, BLOW SHIT UP, over and over. Then there would be a bang and a little bit of smoke, not even anything impressive.  They have horrible attitudes,and even interupted when the charities were speaking. They also tried to interupt us, so we incorporated, giving them the finger into our dance/cheer. Lots
 of other people joined in with us all well. 

We were right beside them, and told them to shut up many times, and eventually Francis, yelled, " Get a new trick, holy shit" which isnt very witty, but given how made we all were by then, it was awesome, and shut them up for a bit. He also told them to ty and be respectfukl when the charities were talking. I love my school.

EWWW [Sep. 8th, 2006|07:33 pm]

Have you ever felt really good about something, and then something happens and you kinda feel like shit?

Or is it just me?

Cause, I dunno, I am probably over reacting, but I feel like shit right now. It may have been my fault though. 

Ugh, Fuck it.

Thatès the funniest Joke I've EVER heard... AHAHA [Sep. 6th, 2006|09:48 pm]
So I was super nervous, and now I just wish my internet was working better so I can finish this fast and get back to the dance party. 

So more later, but dancing now. O week here is awesome, and I love Kings. So far anyway.

New Things [Sep. 5th, 2006|12:34 am]
Josh Groban's  new song was just released, goes very well with that hot new pic. His voice is so amazing. I might not like that song done by very many people though. Josh, Rufus could do it too, but not many could. 

Tomorow is once again moving day. I'm ready, but nervous. 

To all the people in my life, you are all amazing, I can't believe how lucky I am to have so many amazing friends and people supporting me. 
I'm not sure why I have so much, but thank you all. 

Anticipation. 

And it's almost one and I'm not asleep. Ooops.

I have so much STUFF. Just random things. Too much. And I just got a bunch more, all things for university. But still.

Of course, I bought myself a bunch of DVD's too, finally got the scissor sisters DVD, Gosford Park, Saved and more.

My labtob seems to be mostly working now, though the keyboard was fucking up a bit today.

Bon Cop Bad Cop was awesome. I loved that I knew alot of the french without having to read the subtitles. And that Colm Feore played the english cop.

Talked to Ryan, and he says he is in Toronto fairly often, and we shall meet up when he comes to the city. So, good.

Wow, I haven't been to photobucket in a long time.


And Look at all this hotness I found on my photobucket
Guess who )

Go or No? [Aug. 29th, 2006|10:50 am]
So I busted my foot a few weeks back, not actually a break, just a sprain. Though according to doctors a bad one.

Tomorow are the rugby try outs for Western which I had planned on going to, and my dad has been awesome enough to say he would take the day of work, to drive me down there, hang out in London for the day and then drive me back.

However, I just found out that the fitness test part of the tryout includes jumping, which along with all the running and such, will probably be very bad for my foot, I can run again, but jumping? I tried that once and it killed, and my foot got swollen.

I have no idea what to do.

I want to try out, and it would be awesome to be on the team, but I don't want to re-injure my foot in the tryout, and it would suck for my dad to take his whole day off, get up ealry and take me, for me to know an hour in that there is no chance I'll be on the team.

Ahh- I dunno.

And I have to decide soon.

Edit- So apparently my knee may be filled with infection as well, buh bye rugby try outs.
But I will email the coach and explain the situation and maybe try to go to some practices later on.

Also, I might try and run in some marathons this year, I love running and it will give me a goal to work towards, on yet another rugby-less year. Maybe if I go work out west this summer, there will be a rugby club I can join. That would be awesome.

The end.
