Crunch Time

| | Comments (5)

Welcome to Crunch Time. Just about 2 weeks left of school and I've found I need to barricade myself in my room to do homework. Which didn't go over so well. My plan was to do my World Issues ISU Essay today, and have it done in rough. I got the introduction done, and then fell asleep. I'm such a dumpface. So now I'm going to have to work double-time to get it done.

I had the strangest dream that they put a Burger King right across the street from Our Lady of Peace. And that I got a job there. And that it backed onto a lake. I don't even think I actually did work there. One of the guys from Booster Juice worked there too, and we just screwed around. Then there was an inspection, and I was like: Ruh roh. So one of the guys from head office tried to yell at me, and I think I got fired (Maybe "Oh no you didn't!" wasn't the best response). So I went out into the lake, and there were people in war canoes.

I managed to organize what I need to do for what class on which day. I even put in time to try and learn Java for the Culminating. Which I'm going to fail. I have no hope in that class; I never did. I know the stuff, but I never get what he actually wants for the assignments. Half of the stuff, I was away for. And I do the other half, I just don't save it properly. Or I'll do something with Mel, and find out it's not exactly what he wanted. Stupid thing. I'm going to try and do it tonight, because I apparently did half of it wrong.

Side Note: For all the people out there who like "The Reason" by Hoobastank. You deserve 1 million punches to the face for letting that horribly writen and performed song, and all around crappy piece of music pass as real music. So, get to it. Then go punch their song writers.

I saw Mean Girls last night. That is one of the funniest movies ever. There were so many hilarious things in it, I can hardly begin to tell you. There are so many little jokes I found so amusing throughout it. All I can say is: Go see it!

Together:
Before I forget, welcome to Version 5.0 : Together. It was definatly time for a new layout, something that wasn't as boring on the eyes as Everytime. Not that I had a problem with Everytime; it got hard to look at after a while. So I went for something happier this time. I was reading one of my Calvin and Hobbes books when I saw it and had to use it. So, enjoy.

Mike in Wonderland

| | Comments (5) | TrackBacks (1)

Oh my poor feet. This is bringing and end to one of the most amazing weekends this year. Yesterday, I went to Wonderland. It was a very last minute-ly organized thing. Driving around with ~Torie, Natasha and ~Evan. After we dropped ~Evan off at home, ~Torie told me that she was going to Wonderland and that I should come. Right away I said I'd go. After I got home at 2:00ish and went on MSN, I told her I wasn't going to go because I was dead tired and didn't want to wake up early. I did anyways, went, and had an amazing time.

The bus ride from Square One was almost as amusing as the day at Wonderland. We sang random songs (including a lot of Disney). One guy even mumbled shut up. And then I was all like: Oh no you didn't! Good times. I got a season's pass. I plan on getting much use out of it.

When we got there we did a typical loop around the park. We got our pictures taken for the passes then began: Dragon Fire, Sledge Hammer, Mine Buster. Then we got food, and I went off searching for DDR. They got rid of all the DDR at Wonderland. I was so upset. They had like 8 machines, and now there's none. They have two ParaPara and that's it. Sigh.

So after that we wandered around. Many great pictures with many great hats, and then the tea cups. Morganti had to leave early for work, so we walked him to the front gate. That's when I saw him. Most awkward moments ever. Let's call him this aquaintence of mine (although it's unfair to only call him that, I don't care). It was a friend of mine from camp. We were never really close, but he was nice. Then we got close. He's the biggest prick ever. He was an E-tard (he probably still is). He was a whore too. Although he did grow into his nose. All in all, it was awkward.

When I got over my awkward moment, ~Torie and I went off to Shockwave, then wandered the arcades some more. We decided we'd head home, until we found out the next bus was at 8:30 and it was like 6:00. So ~Torie called her mom, and she said they'd come get us. So we went on Top Gun, and the Swings before they got here. It was fun. So many memorable moments.

Mike: We keep seeing the same people over and over.
Torie: Maybe I should start a toll.
Mike: What, you going to charge them as they walk by?

After we left, I was invited to dinner with ~Torie and her family. Then I realized I told Heather I'd drive her to the movies. So I had to cancel, and felt bad. I had fun though. We saw Shrek 2. That's such an amazing movie. I want the soundtrack. Badly. After the movie, I drove her friends home and went to pick up Barone. We had a "DDR date". Snicker.

I missed DDRing with Barone. It was good times all over the place. It's amazing how you can connect with the other people there when you go at 12:00AM. There were two other guys. We didn't even talk. It was just nodding, laughter, sympathetic "ah craps" and me bursting out yelling: An E! NICE! I was amused.

You'd figure that going to Wonderland on Saturday would have been enough for a sane person. Ah, but you forget. I'm far from sane. So I went again. I had to drive my brother and his friend, so I brought Heather. More season's pass purchasing and other such stuff.

Wonderland with Heather was good times. All we did was make fun of people. There was this one girl wearing a skirt, and you could see her whole ass: thong and everything. We were going to tell her, because we thought her bag had pulled it up and we felt bad. Then she took the bag off and we realized it was supposed to be like that. We rode the typical rides; Dragon Fire, Vortex, The Bat (Oh stupid blacking out), Sledge Hammer. The rest escape me. Or maybe there weren't any others. We spent so much money on food. I figured out why. We buy the one huge size they have, eat half of it between the two of us. Then we throw it out because we're full, and end up hungry 20 minutes later. We must have gone on more rides.

There is definatly a need to learn a foreign language now. I'm trying to convince ~Torie, Heather, and more to take Japanese next year. So we can go out in crowds, and speak another language. Be all loud and obnoxious. It will be tres fun!

Suddenly there is much worry about splitting up for University. I have this horrible feeling it will happen. I'm no good at keeping in contact with people. So I'm making it everyone's duty to force conversation on me. Not that I don't like you, I'm just such a recluse. I'd make a great Waterloser. I am worried about not talking to people; it makes me sad. I put up pictures from ~Mel's party.

Late Night with Mike

| | Comments (7) | TrackBacks (1)

I got into University of Waterloo! I'm so unbelievably happy! Dancing around my room and what not, all shivery like I was watching an old episode of pokemon. ~Mel, ~Josh, ~Leianne, and Anson all got in too so far. I feel bad, because now I'm not going to be rooming with Barone - but my reaction to the acceptance was way too amazing to say no to. Co-op here I come!

That totally made my mood so much better. I decided to give you all a sneak peak of the new layout. There are a few things I'm not sure if I want to tweak or not yet. I might put in a menu bar (much like ~Mel has) with links to the pictures section, the about page, and I was considering putting up a page about the layout description but I don't think I'm going to. I also need to fix something so you can see the earlier entries. So many things to look into.

In World Issues today I kept having these flash backs of driving along some street in the States. I don't know it's the states based on flags or whatever, I just know I was in the States. Funny thing about it, I later realized it was in Nova Scotia, in Halifax. Go me go. Point being: Brain wasn't there. Computer Science was equally amusing.

Question: What does void mean?
Mike: That there's no output?
I was right, just not what he wanted.

Mel: Oh, what! It doesn't work?
Mike: That's because there's no pink.
Mel: Maybe fushia or magenta then?
Oh the things that I can find amusing. In Discrete Steve got blamed for my loudness. That sucks for him.

Natasha decided the universe hates her. Well she actually decided that a long, long time ago. I'm just bringing it up now. That and the fact that Evian is like designer water. I'm not exactly sure what they are, but somewhere out there people covet the knowledge of the benefits of popcorn and brownies. I will find it, one day! Just you wait. People who claim to be sarcastic generally fail miserably. Except Natasha.

It's dot com!

Shut it up you!

The new layout is moving a long nicely. I'm almost done. Minus a title, and some minor touchups. It should be fun. I want to make some sort of logo, like ~Eugene has, so I can use it on all my layouts along the side bar. So I have a nice little image link to the picture page, and all the other little pages. I hate this layout. I'm incredibly tired right now. Nothing else makes sense.

My weekend is all booked up already. It's actually been booked up for a few days now. Aren't I the cool kid. Friday I'm busy pretty much all night with various people, at various times. STA Formal and what not is screwing with peoples schedules. Saturday I think I'm hanging out with Stef. My parents are going to some party, I don't know if I'll bring her or just stay home. Sunday is either Wonderland, or hang out with special people.

I had to give a presentation today. Two actually. One in World Issues, one in Discrete. Normally, that wouldn't be a big deal. I screwed up my seminar in World Issues though. I must have been bright red. Someone had to go and give me a hickey (not that I didn't enjoy it). So it was a little distracting. In Discrete it turned into a Mickey Hickey (From Mickey Mouse, care of Jordan) with Joe in the background singing: Hey Mickey, you're so fine! Then we watched slideshows of pictures from New York.

We got a new book to in Comp Sci. I think I'm going to buy it. Good Java books are hard to find. Chapter's books all suck. I also spent money. Stupid need to spend. I upgraded my MSN account.

I really don't like what's going on with this upcoming election. I can't honestly tell you who I'd vote for. Partially because I haven't done that much research. Bloc Quebecois wouldn't have gotten my vote, because that would be a huge waste of a vote. It's stupid to vote for someone who wants to rip apart a country, especially if you actually care about that countries future. If Quebec seperates, I hope Ottawa dumps them out on their ass. No Canadian Dollar. No Canadian Passport. No Canadian anything. It's too bad the French hate Quebec.

They need people with business degrees running the country. That or Wal-Mart. Get rid of the stupid government unions too. Anyone who votes for a party promising tax cuts is an idiot. I have a creepy feeling it's what the Consertives want to do. There's no way that we should cut taxes, especially right now. There are so many things that need money (health care, social security, etc.). Municipalities need a lot of money. Calgary has a light-rail system powered by wind. I am insanely jealous. NDP never seemed like a good vote. They aren't exactly the brightest political party I've seen. Although their blurb has potential. I'm betting the Liberals win again. Ontario always votes Liberal. There's over 1/3 of all seats in Ontario. After that, the Liberals spend money in places like Quebec to win their votes. Either way, it should be interesting.

I'm also bothered by what's going on with Holy Trinity. I'm not sure what about it bothers me so much. There are plans for 20 portables next year. Residents are complaining students litter and vandalize. One driver complained he was subject to "rude" gestures when driving by Trinity (I would care if I didn't figure he was one of the idiot drivers in River Oaks). The idiots at the school board bother me too. I have no respect for the Cathlic School Board's administration. How can you not know you will have tons of students. The numbers are there. The shcool was built two years ago, with a capacity of 1257. We have 1201. 20 portables may as well be a fourth floor. They knew they were going to need the class rooms. They should have not been the cheap asses they are, and actually spent the money. Good luck fitting 20 portables on that tiny piece of land. Good luck getting students to class in 5 minutes. Idiots.

Nostalgia

You jiggy jagged my janga jam!

I was feeling nostalgic today, driving back from school after I picked up my brother - listening to Ayu. Then I went into major Deja Vu. I wasn't driving my van anymore. I was sitting in the middle row of a Windstar, driving up to Elora Gorge for camp with the other Junior Leaders. Listening to Ayu. Not one of the safest thigns to do while you're supposed to be driving a car, but I enjoyed it none the less. Oh how I miss Mini-U. I can't describe how much I want summer to come. So much. Stupid school.

Homework is the devil. One of the most impossible things to do when you don't have any drive to do it. I have to start to finish up my World Issues ISU. I've finally summarized everything. Seminars start tomorrow. Loverly. It should be easy marks. Now to actually write the essay. There's a whole bunch of Computer Science problems that I never actually got finished. I should do them. Really I should. It doesn't help that I was gone for almost two weeks. Discrete presentations tomorrow - that I can handle.

I had a small confrontation with Sarah Mangano in World Issues today. I said something like there was 13 days left of school. 16, but you don't count the last three because it's the last week and that's stupid - who'll go. She tried to make this big deal about how it's stupid that people say that when it's just school days because, and I quote: There's like 5 weekends in between. 4 extra days. I may have been a little harsh, but Heather approved. She never did seem to Share the Spirit.

Everything outside of school is almost perfect, if not perfect. It just feels right. Except for cleaning my room. Barf. The new layout is causing me grief.

Mike-town

Well, my room definatly needs to be cleaned. Not so much my room, as just my desk. It's not even that dirty, it just needs to be tidied. I started with the tidying a long time ago, and just left it; preoccupied with other things. I'll probably end up cleaning up a little bit more tonight.

School is being decent to me. In World Issues I got 87.5% on the test I thought I screwed up. It's not a bad mark, by any means. I'm still disappointed. Just because I know I could do better. It's like my Discrete mark bothers me because I make stupid mistakes all the time. But yes. My mark in World Issues might survive. There's one test left, and the Culminating. I'm finding stuff on Imports that I should be able to use to argue my points. Loverly. Work period tomorrow.

In computer science, it makes me want to scream. The book doesn't ever explain anything properly. I finally got BlueJ working at home. And I ran some stuff in it and then was like, "So ... now what?" It wasn't very cool. I think I need to find a really good book on Java that I can read. I officially don't care about the culminating. I might not even go on those days. I just don't care enough.

Discrete is turning up. My mark is slowly climbing back up. It's the same thing that happened ing Calculus. Well not really. That was one really bad test, and then amazing tests everytime after that. Discrete was two poorly written tests (not anything brutal), and then some decent tests afterwards. Nothing amazing. I wish I would stop making stupid mistakes. I just don't pay enough attention to things.

My new layout is being stupid. Extremly stupid. I can't figure out what's wrong with it. I'm hoping it's just because I'm tired. It should work. I mean, I don't see why it doesn't. More work on that later. It should be a little more atuned to my feelings for the summer. I don't know what I was thinking when I did this layout. Oh well. I hope it will be done for June.

I spent time with Blackie today. I hadn't seen her in forever. It was fun. We went for a BJ, then to Bell World, then to O-ville place. I suddenly crave Pizza Pizza. Oakville Place is so empty. But I got the new Avril Lavigne CD! I like it. A bit. It's not the same as the first one, which was stupid of me to expect. It'll just take some warming up to.

Before I forget, add 3 more people the list that never liked you.

Mike: Reloaded

So I finally got over my first creative block and figured out what I'm going to do for my layout. Well, what image I'm going to use anyways. I like it a lot, and I'd say I hope you all like it to - but I won't. If you don't like it, you can just blow it out your ear. I just need to fuse a little more creativity into it - as well as the help of one or two dear people. Now to work on my writing.

I wish my weekend had been as productive as it should have been. That doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. I enjoyed it a lot, probably more than it was healthy to enjoy it. I didn't get much done for my World Issues. I tried, I really did. There's just not much on what Japan imports. Well there is, but most of it is useless. I need to find out how much they import to argue that if they don't cut down the import level their economy will never be able to recover. Of course that's only one of the three things I'm arguing, but it's the only one I don't have a lot of information on. I didn't go to the Discrete Math group meeting, for which I feel like crap. I had to take care of something that took up my day. It needed to be done. I enjoyed it, but I feel bad for missing the Math. I'm going to make it up to them.

There are some difficulties with the new MT. ~Torie, ~Alyssa and I are all authors on my MT. With the new version it would limit us to one author, and we would have to pay for every author after that. Which is totally un-cool. I don't know how well that will work if I have to update. Maybe I can have blogger upload to their site? Curses. Totally uncool. No more comments, unless they sign up for something like ~Mel did.

I found it funny how people doubted their influence on me. I almost hate to point people out because it seems like I'm picking favourites. I'm not, I'm just selecting who comes to mind.

~Mel is probably one of the most influencial people in my life. Just because she's almost always been there since HT opened up. She was there in World Religions, scoring the beautiful 100% on our ISU. I love Shinto, we should definatly be Shinto. Then she was there in History. Just always aroung, being a typical ~Mel. Happy and bouncy. Even when people are treating her like poo, for which I have to yell at them. Last semester was Calculus with Evang, and now it's Comp Sci and Discrete.

Heather's also really important. She keeps me sane a lot of the time. No, that's a lie. Most of the time she drives me insane. Which is what makes it fun - just because we always argue. She's also always supporting me, even if I'm being stupid. Which is nice. I mean, what good is anorexic male model hot llama without his cat?

Steve and Tim also deserve special mention, because they balance out my insanity. Not really. Even though we're not close outside of school, they're there. Like Steve was there for England, keeping me somewhat sober, making sure I got up on time, and attempting to protect me from creepy kids who follow me around. Just thinking about it makes me teary eyed because of all the memories. Tim was there with Steve keeping me sane at Queens. And like Heather and ~Mel, I know they would be some of the first people there backing me up. I'll need it over the next month.

Natasha also gets super special mention. Only because she is the behind the scences person in my life. That's what happens when you have a whole semester together. Another one of the very important, keeping me sane and sober people in my life.

Mike Yip was a huge influence on my in grade 9 and 10. Actually, he was one of the main reasons I actually did my work. I planned on floating through most of it until he beat me with the proverbial beating stick and I got my ass into gear.

There are more people. My brain just suddenly fried. I finished uploading my pictures. I'm suddenly considering page number two for Queens and New York pictures (which are not up yet by the way). I'm still missing one picture from my cruise, three from march break, and one from connections. Which people are supposed to send to me. Damn you, get on it! And let me know if I should have a second picture page or continue with this one.

I'm incredibly stupid right now. I had to take Benadryl because of cat allergies (I was around cats for the last two days). There's so much I need to talk about, but I don't know how I'm going to get around to it. I'm going to totally avoid the Tech Crew subject because I don't want to deal with all the bitterness surronding it. Not right now anyways.

I'm sure you all remember my mentions of the amazing story I was reading. Well I got to the end of it. I sincerely hope it's not the end of the story. For a few reasons. I would hate to stop reading something that I became so attached to. I hate when books end, it makes me so angry. Worse still, is I hate how it ended. The end of it was so angry, bitter and totally heartbreaking. Like, I'm not even sure how I feel about it because it was so screwed up. It wasn't even a twisted happy ending like in 50 First Dates. There was no happiness. Nothing. It made me feel ... empty. I didn't like it.

After the emptiness came a sense of loneliness. Something I felt all weekend really (even if it's stupid to admit it). I wanted you here, even if it was just to hold you. Even if it wasn't to hold. Just to have you there would have made me feel better. My brain is killing me. I will continue with the extended entry when the brain stops hurting.

14 offical days left of school (plus Monday June 14 which is iffy, Wednesday June 16 which may become an additional day for exams, which would make Tuesday June 15 even iffier than Monday). I doubt I'll be in school for the last week. I feel no pull to come to school as it is. 4 day weeks for most people are heaven. I cring e at the though of being in school for more than 3 days now. Bad sign? You tell me. I think it's mostly due to the amount of everything that was going on. We're approaching the end.

In World Isssues we're in the last unit. I'm not even sure if we're having a t est. Which means it will just be the ISU essay and then the exam. I'm convinced I'm going to rock that essay. I also have to rock that essay. I got 8/10 on my Issue Analysis after losing 10% for late marks, and 75% on my Cluminating for unit 3 after losing 15%. My poor mark. I'd complain more about my 90 dropping, but if Montanari found out I was complaining he'd have a fit about how I don't actually do any work. Oh well.

In Computer Sciecne we have our culminating coming up on the very last days of school. So much for skipping those days. How evil. Depending on how I'm feeling I might just skip anyways. Oh the joy of having seven classes. I don't plan on worrying myself about it. I'll do it, if I think I can, or if it sounds fun. I may be crazy, but I found ECOO fun. If we do something like that I'd probably go. Yes, poke fun all you want.

In Discrete we had a test today. I kicked its ass, as I listened to BoA on my minidisk. It's a good thing I learned it in Data; I've been gone for most of this chapter. I even managed to finish early enough to go down and sit in my detention early.

Oh the joys of detention. Nothing says fun like sitting in the Rimper Room listening to kids pester the attendence ladies. IT amused me at first, because they were all high as kites. But after enthralling us with the tale of why he was down in the office for the seventh time in fifteen minutes. Well I was ready to scream. So I let my mind float to other things.

Whenever I see you, I smile in spite of myself. You have a long road ahead of you. Good luck with that. I wish I was actually a decent writer. The story I'm reading, to call it amazing would be doing it a diservice. The author is so skilled at pulling emotions out of the reader. I'm not an emotional person either. Reading it I forget I'm not actually part of the story, a hard task for most writers to achieve. Granted the sappy thing got old after the 5th chapter of it, but I still loved it. Perfect time for the twist too. Go figure.

I'm really looking forward to the weekend. Except I've had to cancel Sunday's plans. That sucked. Rest assured, I will reschedule. Things need to be worked out. I'm looking forward to tonight. So much. I don't think I can properly convey how much I'm looking forward to tonight. I hope I don't look like an idiot.

Still no blogging. Tsk tsk. Barone needs to let me know what he signed up for. I need to have a talk with that kid.

Health Care

I found myself out of school once again. What else is new. Today I got to go to the Zoo. I had fun. I was all sickly though, so it sucked. My throat hurt so eating lunch was really really painful. I spent the day with Natasha, because Heather and Alex kept disappearing. I saw just about everything there was to see. It was nice, but I was a little thrown out of the mood by seeing a goose next to almost every exotic animal outside.

I find myself so displaced from school now. The only thing I did in school today was talk to Ms. Welch about Booster Juice, and ask Ms. Bracco why she wanted to see the prefects (Eew, grade 8 visits. Not going, too many absences). I wasn't in uniform or anything. I didn't realize how much I hated the uniform until I was standing there in shorts and a polo shirt. Granted, the polo shirt is almost like the uniform one. Compared to the other schools though, I love our uniform. Love it. Its good. Goood. GOOOD! (Take that Natasha!).

I found this very amusingly cute story on the internet, which I refuse to share with you. (My precious!) It's keeping me distracted and disconnected from the world. Especially the world of homework. It, connected with my sickness made it impossible for me to study for the discrete test tomorrow. I kept reading the wrong numbers and junk. It sucked royally. I got most of it done (Yes, Mike did his homework! Don't faint!). I can't get my ISU essay done though. That's either getting done on Saturday or Monday.

I'm so incredibly tired lately too. I blame it on recent sickness. I must get something like 12 hours of sleep in a day. I'm not entierly sure that's healthy. But what I'm sure of is I'd better be healthy tomorrow (things are looking good, my throat isn't bothering me as much). And that's about it. ~Jess and ~Mel, among other people need to blog. ~Eugene just exploded.

For The Record

Time to clarify once again, since Kim is a lying whore. Despite Kim's attempts to ruin whatever good standing I had with Marta, I never fooled around with Heather in the movie theatre before we broke up. That has to be one of the dumbest pieces of bullshit I have ever heard.

Consider this: Friday, when the alledged feeling up was supposed to have happened, I had finally figured that I had fixed things with Marta (apparently not, since she's dating Matt now. Whatever). So why on God's green earth would I do something stupid that would ruin it. Why would I screw it up if I was finally happy thinking I had fixed things. I wouldn't.

Also. Heathers a great looking girl. We've established that. But I'm not attracted to her at all. I think we've established that too. She's almost like a sister to me. I would never ever be able to do anything with her. It just wouldn't work.

Now, I've totally moved past the fact that Marta and I are broken up. I've stopped caring. She moved on, so have I. I'm never talking to Kim again, because as far as I'm concerned - she's dead to me. I wouldn't mind if I never saw her again. If she's willing to throw away the rocky part of what was left of our long friendship, so be it. I'm not going to shed tears over it. She obviously has issues that she needs to work out.

I'm just sickened that people would think that. It bothers me. Deep down I know the people that count don't believe it (and they don't, they all came up to me and told me that Kim was the biggest bullshitter on the face of the planet). I just figured I'd let everyone who was in the dark know.

As the mike turns.

My fantasies have surround sound.

I got the Acadia talk. Again. My mother is set on me going to that university, and like I've said a number of time before: It's not going to happen. This latest one was spurred on after she saw acceptance letters from Western and Acadia. I don't plan on going to either. I was set on going to Waterloo for the longest time. Recently I doubted that. So now as I'm ready to sign up at Mac and do rez stuff with Barone, I'm having second thoughts. Go figure. So I need to figure out what I'm doing. Gah. My dad thinks I should go to Western.

Something that amused me today. He got identified as a shoplifted. Nice choice. I'm sure things will work out stupendously for the two of you. I was really angry about something around 4th period but I have no idea what. I blame the fact that I'm sick and not getting a lot of sleep. I can't hold thoughts, or make complete sentences. But we can play "Holy Trinity Forensics" in 3rd period Discrete.

I had the strangest dream last night. I was at my old house. Whenever I have dreams that there's some sort of natural disaster going on, it's always at my old house. Strange. This time it was meteor shower. Like always the front door was wide open, and it was bright outside. Odd? Very. So I had to rush into my basement where we were building a shelter for it. Random work tasks done by my family. My family and Olek. My family, Olek, and Soloman. Strange.

Suddenly I wasn't in my basement anymore. Something had happened so I was leaving. There was some sort of forest and/or jungle. It was like the Cuban jungle in Goldeneye. I was wandering through it before going through this building complex. When I got out of the complex I was at a ski resort on a mountain. And I was a robot. Well I wasn't a robot. I was in one of those tech suit things. And I could shoot rockets out of my right hand, and had guns and stuff. It was fun. Olek was in one too. ~Kaitie and Natasha were there, along with others. We were shooting things.

There were a lot of buses. I blame that on my closeness to buses all weekend. People were evacuating on the buses. People were also going down the mountains in snow tubes. Right by where there were landminds. Idiots. I remember having to blow the mines up. When I got off the mountain, Marta called me on her cell and complained about something and said I had to pick her up at Matts. An arguement ensued. I didn't pick her up. Then I woke up.

Strange thing about Beyonce songs. When I have them in my head, I can never remember anything but the choruse. It makes me wonder if there is anything but the chorus.

Sickness

Oh my poor throat. Coughing sucks, especially when you're trying to concentrate on doing a World Issues ISU. I don't have much to say right now, so I'll keep it short.

First off: ~Jess, I totally listened to my own Aqua CD not yours, even though yours are still in my house floating around.

Second: I was putting songs on my minidisk, and the disks I'm using suck. Maybe I'm being stupid but I remember them being able to hold tons of songs, not just two CDs and some extras. Probably just crazy.

That is all. Life is good. Its Goood. GOOOOOD.

Ok so I went for my walk. I'm also definatly going to go see the doctor today, as well as the dentist. I feel like I'm some unhealthy freak. Showers make it better. So did my walk, well a little bit. I took my Aquarium CD out and walked in the paths behind my house, because those paths are amazing. So I walked along them. I know I was thinking things, just most of them got lost as I danced to Aqua.

I've decided I miss doing things I used to do. Back when I was active (physically and mentally). I'm definatly going to have to work on changing that. Two years ago I was outside everyday doing something physical. Now I sit in my room on MSN, or I'll be out driving. I think I'm going to start walking to Booster Juice again. Heather, consider yourself sucked in. I haven't seen anyone since I got back. No that's a lie, I saw Barone.

I miss playing Harvest Moon. That game was amazing. 64 was the best version of it. AWL sucked so much, it made me sad. Crystal Chronicles was another game I was disappointed in. It's really hard to do the multiplayer story mode, and single player gets really boring. I'm not even going to start on how much I hated FFXI.

I think I'm going to go to Mac. Waterloo has lost it's appeal to me. The same goes for computer science. Well. Right now anyways. It makes me want to barf. I think I might have found a room mate too, which is amazing. I was supposed to room with Mike Yip at Waterloo, but for some reason I doubt that would have happened. First, I think he wants to go to UofT. Second, after the Queen's thing I'm sure something would have happened. Although I'm glad I had a room to myself at Queen's (for various reasons).

I was listening to my Period 5 Spare CD that Natasha made me (with Terra on it 5 times - different versions are amazing). It made me smile. Except for when Why came on. That made me a little sad, but I got over it. But then listening to it reminded me of school, which reminded me of my World Issues ISU which I have to do. I can do it, I just don't want to. Bleh. I really want to get BoA's No.1 CD. Somebody find it, I will love you forever. I also need to get new headphones. Bleh.

After that I pulled out my Mini-U CD. Wow I miss Mini-U. At Queen's on of the girls there goes to the school where Paul teaches now which I thought was amusing. I made a lot of good friends at Mini-U (i.e. Mike Yip). JLing was so much fun. Mike you should have gone back the second time. I haven't talked to Magee or Jessica in the longest time. Cam'ron. Oh Blackie, I miss you. Summer, I can't wait.

So I was in New York City for four days. I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. There were a number of things that bothered me. Not saying I didn't have fun, it was just ... It's hard to explain. When I was there, I wasn't constantly thinking "Oh my god, I'm in New York City! This is so cool." Which surprised me. Especially since we were only really in NYC for Friday and Saturday. Two days, and I wasn't excited. I wasn't impressed. I feel like such a loser. When I was in London, every other thought was "Wow we're in London, this is so cool!"

I did realize some things while I was there though. Like, I wish I had kept up with my Ukrainian. Now I'm totally clueless in the world of that language. Olek liked to test me, and I would always be like: What? It really sucked. I'd take lessons again, but I don't see it happening. I wouldn't want to go into class alone. I still remember when I refused to be an altar boy at the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in like grade 2. Up yours! Suckers. I think I'm going to take Japanese and Korean. Hu-rah! I want to go back to Tokyo. Drool.

Extended Entry works, but I don't know what I'm supposed to put on it. Clueless. My heart doth beckon for your weet lovin'! - Shakespeare, the Mike way! I need to start a new layout.

I've decided that travelling and blogging don't go together very well. Neither does being at home sick and blogging, but I've decided to try and make due. My whole body is aching right now. I have no idea what happened. My legs hurt, my lower back hurts, my shoulders hurt. My throat hurts. My head is pounding. I had a fever when I woke up. It's gross. I'm going to the doctors today - I hope. Doctors will make me not hurt. Ow my neck.

It sucks that I am now sick. For a few reasons. First, I missed school again - not that I care that much. Well I do. But I really don't feel up to going to school anymore. The days are so monotonous. Monotonous or not, I still need to get my work done. Except I feel no motivation. That sucks. I have to write the rough draft for my World Issues ISU. I was thinking about it, and it's not as hard as it sounds. He thinks that I'm a million years behind everyone else because I've been gone. I actually think I'm ahead of a bunch of people in that class. I need to do well though, because I don't want my mark to slip - and I know it did. Late marks taken off on the Issue Analysis and the Culminating; Stupid 6+?d^2 instead of 6?d^2. I was tired, and not thinking. I knew it was wrong too when I got my answer. So much for keeping my 90.

My head is pounding. I think I'm going to go for a run soon. I definatly need to remember to get my NetMD CD back from Heather. I need to buy new headphones too. And look!

A day in the life.

People are dense. Whatever. At this point, I've decided I'm going to put a disclaimer up on the blog. Right at the top. A read me that you will have agreed to read based on what it says before continuing further on the site. I refuse to take responsibility now. Not responsible for hurt feelings (unless I truely respect you), or disagreements stemming from having read anything here. In no way should you let my opinion change yours. That would be stupid. Remember, you're reading this out of your own free will. Ready? Here we go.

Forcing community service on people is one of the worst punishments I could ever think of. How can you possibly humiliate someone using something that's supposed to be good, and noble. It sickens me that people do this. It amuses me that people think someone punished through community service takes something away with them when they go home. They do take something back with them, a hatred for community service because of the reminder of humiliation that it brings them. You sirs and madams, are brilliant.

You don't need me to convince people that someone is an asshole. As flattered as I am that you think I have that much power and hold that much sway over people, they are able to make up their own minds regardless of what I say. People will recognize that you're an asshole regardless of what I say (assuming you are one). The solution: Don't be an asshole. You shouldn't worry though, because you're all great people.

If I give you a dirty look, odds are you deserved it. Don't expect me to not be hurt. Of course I'm going to be hurt; I'm not a machine. Just don't be surprised or hurt by it. I highly doubt you comprehend anything that's going on. Of course I'll get over it; I'm well on my way. Don't expect it to not be awkward. That would just be ridiculous. I'm not going to go out of my way to do something, especially when there are previous feelings of animosity. That would just be stupid.
