Sigh my room is clean
Since my room is clean I have nothing left to procrastinate with. I feel like I want to do something tonight, but I don't know what. I don't feel like going out htough I think. I'm so indecisive today it's annoying.

oh so much chocolate
My brother Michael got me chocolate and a gift certificate for my birthday. The chocolate is currently being consumed at an alarming rate. Now if this were, say a couple of boxes of Smarties this wouldn't be so bad. I would eat the boxes, feel a little sick, but I would have no other chocolate left to consume. This is not the case.
Michael bought me Smarties and Hershey's Kisses from the Bulk Barn, so basically I have ALOT of Smarties and Hershey's Kisses. I've seen babies that weigh less than these bags. And oh man is it good. I'm in chocoalte heaven over here. I fear though that I will be more than slightly hung over on chocolate tomorrow.
On a side note, does anyone use the proper finger when pressing shift? I always use the right pinky. No matter if I should use the left or not. Like when I just capitalized that 'L' and the 'I' I totally used my right pinky when it should have been the left. I also use my right thumb for all spacebar related moves. Is that normal? Anyone else?

So some thoughts
I don't feel strengthend by this. Or empowered. I just feel a little a more lost than I was before.

Open Letter to the Blackeyed Peas
Dear Blackeyed Peas,
Alliteration does not make everything ok. Alliteration will not save the worst song lyric of all time. And if you ever use the term; "Lovely Lady Lumps" again, I will stop supporting your song; "Don't Phunk With My Heart" and of course if I stop supporting that song I will also have to stop supporting that other song of yours, the one that sounds JUST LIKE IT!
Oh and don't rhyme 'hump' with 'hump'. There are plenty of other words that rhyme with 'hump'.
Love always,
Christine

Good Weekend
So I had a very excellent weekend.
I went shopping on Friday, I bought new pants! I almost bought new shoes but they didn't fit right. Friday night I went to a Barenaked Ladies Concert with Mike. You have two options to read my review of the concert.
Option 1: This one is for all those of you who really wanted to go but for some reasons could not go to the concert.
The concert was awful. They didn't even play their own songs! They just did covers of B4-4 songs. Disgraceful. AND they poked everyone in the eye on the way out. Awful.
Option 2: This one is for people who got to see the concert, or are indifferent.
The concert was amazing. It was their Christmas concert so they played from their Christmas CD. They also played old stuff (I think they did a song from every CD) and they did a couple songs which are going to be on their new CD. I think my favourite was when the drummer sang Felise Navidad. So good!
Saturday day I went to Bodyworlds with Angus. So. Cool. Dead people, plasiticized, so you can see all their organs and muscles and bones. It was fascinating, to see everything on the inside. We also ate pizza hut, which was delicious. Saturday night I watcehd RENT, it was a fantastic movie. I had never seen it on stage though, so maybe I have no idea what I am talking about. Either way it was great.
Sunday night was dinner with family. mmmmm.... bloor street diner.
It was a good weekend.

End of Shift
Walksafe is almost over for the night. I got a whole lot of work done while walksafing. I was abe to find a thesis, outline my essay and finish writing about two of the subheadings for the essay. This essay is supposed to be 12 pages long and is due Thursday, while not an unreasonable length I really wish I had started writing this earlier.
In other news...
MY BIRTHDAY WAS AMAZING!
Dinner with Mike and Jo was good, well the service was not excellent but Mike and Jo are always fun. Jo made me a cake which was delicious. We then went to HP4 at Imax! I enjoyed the movie. Yes there were parts that were changed and left out and that was quite the frustrating. On the whole though I thought it was a great movie. Oh and I ate movie popcorn, which is always good.
On my actual birhtday I got to go to church for the first time in ages. It was fun seeing everyone and it was fun casually slipping into the conversation that it was my birthday! The rest of the day I worked on an assignement that was due tomorrow, I finished it too! That was my gift to me. We also went out for dinner as a family (minus one brother :( ).
I have of course recieved many a present for my birthday, but I will not list them in fear of looking tacky and superficial.
Time to head back to HQ so I must be off.

Hungry
Gah. I am both frustrated and hungy.
I really want to eat melted cheese right now. On pizza, on nachos, on anything really, just some melted cheese. Instead I am eating rice cakes. Because I don't own cheese. By the time I go out and buy some cheese and melt it, it will be dinner time. I will have to satisfy this craving another time.
I am frustrated because the check out system at the biggest library is ridiculous. At the same desk is:
1. Checkout
2. Issuing new library cards
3. Renewals
4. Hey where's my book?
5. Can I get that book from somewhere else?
Option 1 and 3 should have a seperate desk because they are such speedy processes. But they don't. Instead I waited 20 minutes to check out my books. The line up wasn't long, it was just that three people were getting library cards made and that is a very long process. Very annoying.

Not Damp, But Soaking Wet
Walksafe is most interesting today, and by 'most' I mean 'moist' and by 'moist' I mean completly soaking wet.
It is raining. And it's not fooling around out there, it's being pretty damn serious folks. A few of the streets here look like they belong in Venice. I don't just need hipwaders, I need neckwaders. In short, I am wet.
In other news my young but oldest brother has a very special day today. Today is his.....
BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!
yay for mikey! Happy birthday great brother! I hope your day was magical and filled with delicious food.
In even more news I am currently (as is everyone) swamped by projects. I have many assignemtns, readings, a yearbook to edit and grad schools to apply to.... wait... no... that's Shashi. Damn. I believe I just have three assignments then a test to slog through before exams, so while not Shashi-busy, I am still busy.
That's it for now, unless we walksafe ourselves to another computer.

Always sleepy!
I dislike that I am constanly sleepy, even when I get more than enough sleep I need to nap during the day. I feel I would get a lot more done if it wasn't for my sleepyness. Angus suggested that maybe I'm aenemic (I so can't spell that word). This made sense, except for the fact that I donate blood regularly, and they don't let you do that if you're aenmic. So the sleepyness persists.
There is this display at the science center I want to see, I thought of going and seeing it this weekend but that wouldn't leave me much time to do anything else. It's a really cool exihibit (I think that was too many i's). It's real human (dead) bodies on display. Presereved and stuff so you can see every little part. That is so cool.
Anyway this day has been going well so I'm pretty happy (maybe that's related to the nap I just had. Off to dinner!

Brain fried
I had a test yesterday, I think it's safe to say I won't want to be seeing the results. I finished an assignment due for tonight which I think went ok. I am currently walksafing and am suffering from the shortest internet attention span of all time. I flip between reading blogs to reading emails to reading nothing. I think my eyes don't want to look at a computer screen. I was up late last night so I'm running on low sleep, maybe that's why I can't focus on anything.
The Canadian Tire Christmas party on Saturday was amazing. So much fun. Lots and lots of drunk people and lots and lots of dancing. Have I mentioned that I love most of the people I work with? They're really nice people, so friendly and kind. And people bought me drinks which was nice. Mostly the fun random dancing was the best part.
I'm going to surf on somewhere else now.

Going Home
I love going home. I love living in rez too. Just sometimes it's nice to go home, for oh so many reasons. Because it's home, because I can where pajamas and eat breakfast, cause my mom and dad and brother are there. Because it's cozy. And often I like going home because it's a huge reminder that there is a world outside. As a student I find I can get lost in student life. In studying endlessly, trying to jam in parties, trying to enjoy my friends and all the drama that goes along with that.
When I go home I find it easier to remember that the next quiz will not make or break my entire life. I can remember that the latest drama doesn't matter. And my job is simple, I mean it's hard to do, but there isn't much I take home with me, outside of hilarious stories of stupidty, kindness and rudeness. I love my life here, but I'm glad I can get a reality check every other weekend.
In other news I have a pedometer! It's a little gizmo that counts my steps. U of T is having this pedometer challenge, so for a $12 deposit you can count your steps. Our don started a step challenge on our floor and many people have gotten into it. Last night I broke 20,000 steps (before I was around 12,000). I think Angus and I's trip down yonge street was what put me over the edge. Today has been a low step day, around 1,200 right now. I think work will be insane though, I'll probably reach, roughly, a million. Yup I'd say a million is a damn accurate estimate.

weekend review
My weekend was fantastic. oh the goodness was extreme.
On friday there was a halloween party on campus. It was packed as usual, so packed I had to sneak in the side entrance with a group of my friends because no one was being allowed in. This meant that I did not have a hand stamp, so I couldn't leave all night. So has friends came and left I changed who I was haning out with. It was a lot of fun, I went as a ballet dancer.
Saturday I had a wonderful evening out wtih Alex, Jon and Angus. We took a little tour around Indigo where I fell in love with some books. We went to Amato's Pizza where I had a delicious slice of pizza goodness. Then we saw Mirrormask which was a very well done movie. Excellent plot with mindblowing special effects. Afterwards we ingested crepes which are the most delcious food source imaginable. We then hit up The Rex, a jazz bar. I was suitably impressed. A very adventourous evening with some great people.
Sunday night rocked, altoough I can't remember why.
Oh Shashi, I called your house by accident the other day, I meant to call my friend Stef, you are alphabetically simmilar.

Midtermtastic
My life is currently filled with the joy that is midterms. Three this week (two on Wed, one on Thurs). What is glorious is that after they are done I will be free for over a week. I plan to get a lot of studying done and work on other projects. I also intend to see a few of my non school friends.
This Saturday I am rocking out with Alex and Jon. We are going to eat some food and see a movie, what kind of food/movie I don't know. I presume it will be artsy and intelligent (the movie, I prefer not to eat things that still sentinent). The food will of course be delicious, unless it's asian cusine, not that there is anything wrong with asian, I just happen to not enjoy it. I'm more of a pasta, pizza, meat person..... but not all at the same time... that's just excessive.
Next Wednesday may bring a visit with ye olde Mike K. He may be busy though, at which point I will veg like there is no tomorrow.
Thursday is Angus time. We will take back Poland, and perhaps eat something.
I have still not decided on plans for this Friday, I have a few options, all involve costumes.
It would appear that I actually have a life, despite the scaryness of midterms.
Study time!

oh the weekend
I got, I think, a lot accomplished this weekend. A lot of work got done and some fun was had.
I just finished decorating two doors, we have two birthdays on the floor tomorrow, so us birthday ninjas were out with our tissue paper and streamers. I have to spend a portion of tomorrow getting people to sign the card, which means sitting in the common room, which means me not studying. On the upside everyone loves getting a card filled with signatures.
My room is currently an advertisement for febreeze. I sort of went a little febreeze crazy. Here is a list of things I febreezed:
1. My floor.
2. my curtains
3. My bed
4. My purse (who does that?)
5. My backpack
6. My gym bag thingy (this bag that Michael gave me)
All of this stuff sits in the same little room, my life is very febreezy.
I have been instructed that I owe Alex an evening out, perhaps something involving crepes or alchoal. I belive we should combine the two, and do so soon. Perhaps I should actually talk to Alex about this, instead of randomly blogging about it. Have I mentioned that I think Alex is the greatest?
I should sleep now, but I think I'm going to play a little chuzzle first.

Morning after
OK so that last post was hilarious.
I ended up finishing 6 or 7 shots. Those shots did not stay with me the whole night though.
We ended up going out to a bar afterwards. A lot of crazyness happened, including a soap dispenser explosion.
We started missplacing people, which was bad, but by the end of the night we figured out that we all got home safely.
I believe I called Mike K at some point last night, that strikes me as an odd thing to do.
I have lots of work to do this weekend, well just a lot of studying and two assignments to do.
I'm heading to Stratford tonight at 4:30~ Yay! Jo and I are going to a play... yay team.
ok study time!

Another Walksafe post
I am currently walksafing. No walks yet tonight. I have managed to do my readings for tomorrow morning's class, and clean out my email.
My weekend was phenomenal. Friday I got a surprising amount done, that was due in large part to Angus' patience.
Dinner was delicious. I think I am addicted to chocolate martini's though. I love eating at the restaurant Angus and I went to, the atmosphere is amazing and the food is delicious. Janet it was the same place you and I went to when you came for a visit.
Jon Stewart was so good. He was on for an hour and a half! Non stop stand up comedy. He wasn't wearing a suit though which threw me for a minute. He also swears more than I expected, it wasn't offensive just noticeable. Like watching Shawshank redemption on CityTV and then watching the real movie and seeing how much they swear in the un bleeped version.
Saturday work was great, our store cat keeps sneaking inside now because it's cold. She's taken to biting people who put her outside, luckily I never take her outside (because I can't leave my desk) so she still likes me.
For Saturday dinner Mikey and I hit up Harvey's! Always fun to eat dinner with Mikey, catch up and hear what's new.
Saturday night I had a wonderful evening with Jon, Randeep and Angus. Angus was gracious enough to let me eat half his waffle, he probably thougt it was less, but I so ate half of it.
Sunday night I spent with family. Michael and I watched our old favourite Extreme Home Makeover. I love that show. I went to bed at like 10 because I was exhausted from the combo of late nights and early mornings.
This Friday Jocelyn and I will be attending a play in Stratford! I have never been. The play is called "Into to Woods", I loved it when I saw it in Aurora so I think it will be super cool at Stratford.
I will sadly have to miss Oliver Sacks talk at U of T because I will be home to work. He wrote the book "The man who mistook his wife for a hat", on visual agnosia. I think I will read it next summer.
Oh! I am currently reading Freakonomics. This book is amazing, very interesting. I highly recommend it to anyone (shout outs (ha!) to Angus for lending and recommending this book to me).
C'est fini!
