Sickly

I 've spent the day home, sick. I'm reviewing one of my favourite movies—ben so long since I've seen it!—and I'm loving it! After this, though…bed time!

Potential

So I had a conversation tonight that I think very well might have blown whatever chance I had for a relationship with the girl I was seeing. I sincerely hope not, because I enjoy the time we spend together, and think this could potentially work out, personality-wise, long term.

Lets hope, please!

Drop-Dead-Tired

I honestly don't know what's been going on with me lately—I have such utter exhaustion, almost all the time! Take this morning: I was fine, for once, got out of bed, showered, went to work…by noon, I was soooo tired…and now, at almost 2000h, I'm ready for bed. I'm trurning in directly after I write this…and have my bedtime snack, because apparently that helps with sleeping.

Any ideas?

Blink, Blink, Yawn

Another too-late, too-tired night. I really have to start sleeping regularly again…!

REPO! The Genetic Opera

I watched one of my favourite movies again tonight—yay, knowing nearly every line!—and found more to love. I will have to introduce it to a friend of mine, she's never seen it and I'm pretty sure she'll love it. As for you, here's my favourite song from the movie!

Hallelujah

One of the songs that was really important to me when I went to EWC (Encounters With Canada) last year was Hallelujaah. Despite any and all religious references, it's a beautiful song, and I love it. It's also one of the ones we sang in the lunch/dinner lineups, with someone on the piano, and a group of us around him singing.

Then, a few days ago, a dear friend of mine (who happens to be an EWC pal and 6AC member) sent me this link.

I LOVE this version of the song, how it builds, and becomes this amazing amazingness throughout!

Definitely playing this video over and over and over and over….

Anniversary BLANK

So I'm tallying up the ballots, for lack of a better word, from the 6AC's anniversary !@#$%^&*(). It's going to be pretty kick-butt…you'll see. I think I'll even post the )(*&^ here for the interwebs to peruse.

But as for now…tallying, and waiting for the 'three hours' to be up so I can take down the related posts, is a pain in the ass.

Sigh.

Yeah…No

I really want to say something smart and witty tonight…but I'm sooooo tired. I'm going to bed!

Smiles

Ah, today was a good day. I had a date (yay, me!), talked up a storm during it, and spent the evening in my short-shorts and a tank top—that I would never wear in public—webcaming to my friends on the east coast.

Lovely.

Famine

So it's obviously not morning, but I'll write about the Famine anyway.

We had a fairly large breakfast Wednesday morning (the whole school smelled of bacon. From a distance, I almost considered having some. The I got close, and yuck!), though all I had was a serving of eggs, french toast, orange slices and yogurt.

The rest of Wednesday was fairly regular, until after school. We voted to send Be Water, so the $3000+ we raised went to dig wells in the Congo, I believe.
The there was the spray-painting of tee-shirts (I'll have to take a picture to show you!), followed by free time/homework time.
We then played Mission Impossible, tug-of-war (my team solidly won that!), more MI, and then some team building exercises. That was the best part!

We had to climb through a 'web,' with each person going through a different hole, and nobody touching the web…then get eggs (energon cubes) out of a lava pit, and get our space ship across the planets to create a society. It was such a blast!

We then played Home-Free Tag in the school for a few rounds (five…?) then watched a 'funny' movie…I almost fell asleep during that.

The next day, I got more and more hungry until we could eat at 1500h. Cake, junk food, chowder…ice cream….

Life is good.

Well…

I know I promised a famine-update today, but as it is so late, I will have to do it tomorrow. I'm going to be up early with my hair treatment and facial thingie (DIY, the lot!), so I'll write while that's setting.

Goodnight, world!

Beddy-Bye!

Well, my sincere apologies for no blog yesterday—I came home at six, and woke up at…six. That is, 1800-0600. Twelve hours, gone. It was a great sleep, though!

Now, I think I will attempt a replication—hopefully not as long lasting, however. Tomorrow, I swear I'll tell you about the Famine!

Famine

So, the 30 Hour Famine is today and tomorrow. Wow. I have to pack a few things—sleeping bag, pillow, flashlight, water bottle, toiletries, change of clothes—and bring them into the school today. I'm thinking my workout bag ought to be large enough to hold the majority of my stuff….

Never mind that. I'll use my 'fashion' bag. (It's so cute, it has litte technical drawings and fashion illustrations all over it!)

I guess I've got to go and get ready, now…I'll talk to y'all tomorrow!

Brilliant

Wow.

Today was such a busy day, I don't even know where to start—but the end will work. While driving home from class/training tonight, I had one of the best conversations I'd had in a long time. Damn, I've missed talking to people. Face-to-face is even better than with a camera!

My Famine starts tomorrow…let's hear it for awareness!

Sun-shiney-day

What a day!
I've made my anniversary gift for my SixAwesomeCanadian friends, with lots of help from a few of them. The first post went up today, and I'm so excited! As of midnight tonight, it's officially our anniversary.

To any 6AC that is reading this…I love you, and I miss you. We should talk more!

Also, my fellow 6AC member and I 'lightened' our hair today with honey and conditioner. So far no drastic results, but we'll see. My hair still has to dry completely. I'm really looking forward to this!

Anything else…? Oh yeah, I did some English homework today. I have math, too, but I'll do that in my spare block tomorrow, before class.

What do you do when you have stuff to do, but have prioritized it away?

Waiting, Waiting…

So I'm at a client's house, using who-knows-who's internet, and taking the requisite 'break' before I'm supposed to read my next English short story. I was told on Wednesday not to read these back-to-back, so…ho-hum time, proceed.

Jolly.

What do you do to kill time?

Busy Little Bee

No blog yesterday—I did a fifteen hour work day, and got home around eleven o'clock. I was at my official job for ten hours (though I only clocked it for nine-point-five), and went from there straight to a client's place, and did five hours there. Man, I was tired! I slept through to nine today (bad Mahara, what ever happened to 'same 'wake-up every day?!').

Now I've got some anniversary stuff to do, and then psych homework (the textbook writing is soooo small!) before I go swimming in Dawson Creek, then back for another client at 1850h.

I will make an effort to post tonight!

Cele-bed-tion

So tired…I've been so busy plotting anniversary stuff, and now…now it is time for bed.

Anniversary

I'm getting very, very excited…the anniversary of my EWC (Encounters With Canada) group is coming up…and there's so many things planned…! We're launching a blog on the first day, and a special #@%$^&*#)%( (I won't tell what it is!) will be put up on the last day, too. Plus each of us are doing special vlogs on our channel throughout the week, on the day we were originally prescribed.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Yeah, it's a big deal.

Sexy Psych…?

So, my first college class started today (whoopee!), and it was great. So much knowledge! We discusses how sex was(n't) the same thing as love, and how the DSM does or does not define homosexuality (it's not a mental disorder anymore!), and how different socio-economic groups rate differently on standardized intelligence tests.

I'm sooooo loving this!

Also, I got to go to a first-response training type meeting, and I'm sure that will that, I'll brush up on my terminology and treatments. Very cool!

A rather odd thing my mother said when I came in from class: "So, any cuties in your class?"
Mother dearest…that is not at all why I'm going. No…simply no.

So, between those and the poor sleep I got last night, I am so tired…bed, blankets, pillows…here I come!

Passport Panic

So I had a scare tonight—I was solidly convinced I'd lost my passport. I turned my room, under-bed and trunk apart…then I finally found it in the middle of my lega box, tucked between two envelopes. Whew! I'd looked there before, of course, but I remembered after the fact that, at one of the UK airports I was in last year, they stuck baggage tags to my passport…resulting in a lovely sticky residue. I'm scared to try a remover—what if it wrecks the document…?!

Oh well. At least now I know exactly where it is, and can use it to get to France this summer!

On another note, my first Uni class starts tomorrow…I'm alternately terrified and thrilled. Wheeeee!

Chatty Cathy

Another late night…my dear friend of last night's chess match was chatty tonight, and of course I had to indulge him.

I think I was pretty chatty, too.

What about you?

Chess-capades

Tonight, I've been spending the latter part playing online chess with a friend of mine, and also my computer. (Two games at once—not so good for my head!)

I've whined about my computer's lack of difficulty level for years, but now…today, I found it. I knew that Alex (my dear MacBook's name) was going easy on me, but I didn't know how easy…. The answer? Very, very, very easy. As in, my six-year-old kids could probably beat him. 

And to think, I was so proud…!

Double Duty

I got some interesting news today—I have the potential to do some college credits this year, and they'll count for high school, too! I'm looking into the Introductory Psych class at the local college, and I really think I can do it!

Woo hoo!

What's your favourite jump-the-gun moment?

Snuggle-Buddy?

So after yesterday's crash—what was it, 2000 when I went to bed…?!—I slept through the alarm that didn't ring (for whatever reason it had gotten turned off, I swear it wasn't me!) and didn't get out of bed until 0730. Wow.
I did get out of bed with no voice today, and by the time I went to work, it had started to disappear again. Now, it hurts to say anything. Lovely.

I'm listening to the cat—my baby!—outside the door, wanting to get into my room and cuddle. I would be soooo happy to let him in, if he would only cuddle. Instead, he snuggles for while, and then buggers off to presumably poop all over my rug, the other bed, laundry, curtains…accompanied by urine. I will have to get rid of my rug—which will actually make upkeep tider—and make sure I get on my laundry. Which is so not stacked up weeks-worth.

At all.

Hee.

What's not waiting to be done in your house…?
