I'm in a bad crappy mood. I'm not sure if that made any sense grammatically, but I'm going to use it anyways. I had a headahce after working on Japanese so I took a nap. And now I'm just cranky. I have no idea how long this is going to be. I'm not even sure if I know what I'm going to talk about.

CS is due tomorrow. Or today rather. Fady's done for the most part. It's all bonus features now. Actually. It's making the bonus features accessible to the user. It loks pretty good. If only I had ... had a more active part in the creation of said Solitaire. Oh well, I guess I really don't have a right to complain.

No more now. Hungry.

Earlier today I was trying ot cheer someone up because she was having a crappy day. Now I'm on the verge of killing the first person who bothers me. Well, I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later.

I just wish I knew what I did with my free time. I'm trying to think. I know Sunday I did Calculus, and then didn't hand it in. But that doesnt matter. What the hell happened to my Monday and Tuesday. Oh. Only two days. I guess that makes more sense. I know what I did last night. I wasted alot of time on the internest when I could have turned on MSN, or just ignored people, and done my Japanese. And I didn't study my Japanese becuase I had a headache. That makes sense now. Which explains why I just failed the test and skipped the rest of the day because I didn't want to deal with it. Now I wish I had just done it. Plus I can never wake up here. I still have no idea what I did with my monday. Crap.

I guess it's about time I talk to my roommates. It sucks. Mainly I just need to talk to Fady. He's a great guy, and his friends are cool, but the state our suite is in right now is horrible. All the dishes are theirs. I'm going to have to talk to him and tell him that it's not fair to us to have to do the dishes that he and his friends use because they never wash their dishes. And it sucks even more because I'm working on the final project in CS with him. I have no idea how that kid does work for his other calsses because it's all he does. And everytime I do something, he completely redoes it so it's exactly to his liking (and only has his name on it). I'm basically useless in the group. Its not a nice feeling.

I'm in such a crappy mood right now. I need to do an assignment and a paper for tomorrow. Christ. I guess it wouldn't be that bad, if I had gone to class. Unfortunately I miss alot of class because I don't get sleep at night. Which stems from my roommates staying up all night to work on CS. God. It's a never ending chain of crap that I don't want to deal with. I shouldn't have to deal with it either. I don't see how it is at all fair. I should have just gone to some crappy university like Acadia, and passed with flying colours and never talked to anyone. Damnit. Where's my time machine?

So originally I was a little crapped out about my birthday. Not that nothing happened for it, just htat I slept in and missed class and didn't get my assignment in and so on and so forth. But people made up for it today (not that I was expecting them to).

For dinner Stef and her floormates (and Shannon) took me out to dinner. I don't even remember where we went, but I had Crunchy Thai Chicken stuff. It was really good, but super spicy. I could only eat half of it before my face felt like it was burning off. So I stopped. So many funny things happened while we were eating:

Stef: Is that someone's foot, or the table?
Shannon: Just kick it really hard and if it screams then it's the table.

I actually can't even remember what else had happened. We played random tic-tac-toe on the table, and drew funny pictures. There was lots of crazy math/not-math things that we wrote down. Like Me too => I love Mike. But then we stated that Me too doesn't actually imply "I love Mike" and then we added on to it so that "I" implied Blackie, although only in this case if and only if "me too" => "I love Mike". It was amusing. I told my math joke (Why can't you take the cross product of an elephant and a mountain climber - Because a mountain climber's a scaler) but Stef already knew it. Oh well.

After dinner we went out to get Bubble Tea. They had risk there, so we played! April and I were a team, Stef and Aubrey and Shannon and Joomin. It was good times. Two lesbian couples and us. And then we had gay twins, and a girl that wanted to be a boy. It was good times. We almost won too, even with our crappy crappy start (30000 salary). We were like $100000 away from winning, and I can't even count out the number of times that we switched salaries around, or the number of funny things that were said (Ok so wait, our lesbian love child is dating your lesbian love child?!). Oh my.

After that I went and played some Initial D. I had purchased a card this morning (or maybe last night, I don't remember) but it was a celica which I choose accidentally, and it was automatic. Well to do anything decent in that game you need manual trasnmission so I went back and got a Mazda RX-8. A red one. Yay for cars. And I raced. I was thinking I should find a way to raise the money to rent the cove for a night, and then have people come play in it. It could work.

So when I got home I went over my japanese. My suddenly free week is suddenly not so free. It wasn't good. It doesn't look like my Algebra assignment is going to get done. For Wednesday I need to completely translate my Japanese, and then study for the big quiz we're having that's going to be in Hiragana. I for one am not looking forward to it. Then for Thursday I need to get a presentation together on Canadian Tire for Business. I'm going to email my group tomorrow to see what we actually need to do for it. So I was ready to go to bed when there was a knock on my door.

I opened it and nearly died. My roommates had gotten me a cake for my birthday and a present. I was so surprised and happy. I wasn't expecting it at all. It was Dave, Mike, Fady and then Fady's friends whose names I still haven't gotten straight. I feel bad about it, but I'm horrible with names. I know theres and Andy and a Dan I think. I'm not sure. I'll have to work on it. They got me flavoured condoms. I laughed so hard. Then we watched Futurama and played some XBox fighting game. It was good times.

And now I'm going to bed, after my awesome birthday happenings. Thanks everyone!

So I had an epiphany today as I was getting ready to leave my Business lecture. I realized that there are two main reasons as to why I haven't made any real substantial friends in Waterloo, which were explained to Ryan on the walk home. First, I have tons of people here that I knew from Oakville or the surronding area in some way or form. For exaplaid. I spend tons of time with Mel Kosterman. Then there's Stef, Mel and Josh. For the most part, whatever miniscule amount of free time I have is spent in some way shape or form with those four. It also doesn't help that MKV West 3 is completely and utterly uncapable of decent social interaction.

The second reasons is somewhat more complicated, although simple at the same time. The friends I do have are crazy. Each and everyone of them. They all have crazy messed up lives or some nonsense that makes them feel that if I was to talk to someone else, then I have a hidden agendra consisting soley of the desire to replace them with people who are sane. As much as I love people who are sane, the time I spend with Mel shows perfectly that I'm much more fond of insanity over sanity.

In other news, I got 73.5 on my business midterm. Which is not too shabby considering I lost 6 hours to study on the day of, and various hours that were supposed to be spent studying on the days leading up to the exam. It makes me feel better for bombing my second Algebra midterm, which I blame on a lack of sleep caused by roommates which lead to numerous missed classes and the inability to function properly the day of.

I will never ever understand how ugly people get dates. And have all these girls/guys want them. Especially when there are so many better looking people out there. One of the mysteries of life.

I'm going to have to call this a random splurge type thing, despite certain sexual innuendoes that can be made, simply because that's the best way I can think to describe what I expect this entry to be. My Algebra midterm is tomorrow. I'm sorta half studied up for it. My weekend dragged on longer than I thought it would. Calculus took forever, and I still don't have two of the question right, and one of them will probably only get me half marks. I don't care. I'm half-tired right now.

Half-tired. That's an interesting state to be in. I know I should probably go to bed, however I'm content to stay up a little bit longer watching downloaded episodes from QAF season 4 and reading Chugworth. There's something different about season 4. Aside from the fact that the intro is no longer extremely cheesy, and sexual. I remember originally being upset about the intro change when I saw it, but I really really like the intro for this one. It makes top 10 of my television intro theme songs (along with Pokemon [all of them], Love Hina, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Cowboy Bebop, and Evangelion. I can't think of the rest of them). I think season 4 is more like a soap opera than a show about random sex. I like it.

I'm reading Chugworth because I finally managed to sucker in, erm find a volunteer, to draw Olmstead U. It should be good if I can get it going. Unfortunatly things are going to be extremely slow going because of the way school is working out. Speaking of school, they want to lengthen the Math/Engineering reading week. Dumbest. Idea. Ever. To do that, they would take away from the extra four days they've given us before our term A finals. I don't know about you, but I happen to like extra days before finals more than extra days before midterms. Not only that, Summer Co-op placement interviews go on during the time reading week takes place anyways. So I don't know about everyone else, but I think it would be stupid to have a week of when I can't go anywhere anyways because of coop interviews. But maybe I'm just crazy.

Ok, I am crazy. It's a question of how crazy though.

Studies have found that people who take more than 400 IU (internation units) of vitamin E per day for more than a year are 4% to 6% more likely to die prematurely from any cause than those who do not take supplements. I always said too much Eugene was bad for you.

I had something else I was going to say, but it has actually completely slipped my mind. So instead: 10 days to my birthday! The Love Hina Manga series is supposed to be awesome. I'm going to buy it. I think I want to buy Sweat and Suit too.

Tomorrow between 1220 and 230 (minus time for walking to and from MC) I have to become totally able to read hiragana for my Japanese reading test tomorrow. Bleh bleh bleh. And I need to answer the questions, and I need to do the homework. Grosser than gross. After Japanese I get to eat and then do my MATH 135 assignment because it's due thursday, then thursday I get to do my MATH 137 assignment.

Le Sigh.

I've recently noticed that I've lost my edge. I'm not longer bitter. No that's a lie. I'm still bitter. I'm still opinionated too. At least I think I am. I've just not been as vocal about certain things, which is crappy. It's going to change though. The very first thing is definatly going to be there internet. I need to talk to my mom about getting Bell Sympatico as part of my phone plan to get cheaper long distance. It will work.

I was reading something in the newspaper that claimed Evanescence was Christian Rock. Thanks to Helen for being resourceful, she found out that they're Christian Rock now, because when they started out they were Christian Rock. Now I've got nothing against Christian Rock. I mean, listening to it and liking it only means that you are completely incapable of thinking or expressing anything by yourself. That's ok though. Don't let that get you Christian Rockers down. What bothered me was the complete idiocy in the claim that they're still Christian Rock. They're not. Get over it. They completely redid their image before Fallen was released. I'm not sure what Origin was like so I can't comment on that, but Fallen is not a Christian Rock album. The only way to make connections is to take great leaps when you're looking. But hey, I could do the same and say that Jay-Z and R.Kelly are Christian Rappers. Right.

Bush won the election. I think what scares me about this whole thing is not that he won, but the fact that I just assumed he was going to win. I was right, but it scares me that I could make the assumption. Granted only 51% of America was dumb enough to vote for him, and there are site appologizing for it, and magazine with covers asking "[h]ow can 51% of America be so dumb?". It's good times. I need to learn flash. And copy out my notes. And then do my Japanese. For tomorrow. Crap face.

No, not really. I just figured a quote from TGS would suffice instead of an actual title. It should make up for my lack of creativity at these early hours in the morning. I don't want to walk to Laurier for class. I am as they say, le tired. I was up randomly throughout the night. I'm not sure if I should blame random noises I heard, or the fact I took a quick nap in the evening. Perhaps a combination of both. Eew. Walking to Laurier.

I would be fine with the walk if my internet wasn't a stupid piece of trash. Odds are I'm going to have to talk to my parents about getting me Sympatico because the speed of my internet is ridiculous. It took me almost an hour to go through the three webpages I need to so I could download my slides for the business lecture today. I wasn't exactly impressed. Originally I felt bad, but it's been pretty craptacular for the last little bit, and I'm not going to pay money so that everyone else can download ridiculous amounts of anime while I can't even get pages to load. There I said it.

And Melface(melishrelish) smells like peasoup. Oh my god. I had forgot how to hyperlink. I'm going to go cry.
