The World In a Coma

Ahhh spring, it’s getting warmer and warmer here, I know it’s just a little trick nature is playing on us before she hits us with a few more snowstorms but I’ve been hit hard with spring fever. I am vibrating with excitement over the fact that summer is only a few short months away, and I”ll be done school for the semester in just over a month YIPPEE. Then I can go back to Rocky and hang out for the summer, sadly though my parents will no longer be there as they are moving down here to Fort macCrap, but I think it’ll be good for them, crappy for me but hey such is life. COME ON SUMMER!! I just need to push through a few more papers, tonnes of working at my few jobs and some finals and beer drinking, camping, relaxed days of summer will be upon me.

Cats are smart? Sometimes I just don’t know, here’s some proof against them:

The other day I was sitting at my computer having a smoke my cat meowing and generally being bothersome as usual all of the sudden she jumps up on to the computer desk right onto my ash tray with a lit cigarette in it, she then jumps off and the smoke has mysteriously disappeared, I frantically search for the smoke when I smell burnt hair. The smoke is attached to the cat I whip into action to remove it from her hair. The cat is fine but she’s been pissed at me for days now for ruining her perfect grooming, which she is obsessed with. Um DUH cat, cigarettes are hot, not a good idea to jump on them. All this in addition to her craziness, falling off tables and running into things. Then again I can’t generalize maybe my cat is mentally retarded… hey at least she’s good looking.

 I know lame story but it was freakin HILARIOUS, I’m evil I know, but seriously come on.

ANyways back to me, I get to go to Victoria over reading week for a few days, never been so that should be fun. Going with my mother in law, who I get along with really well so yay!!

 

So I decided today that I’m going to be famous in some way one day. I have it all planned out, I’m going to be singing to myself one day, or just standing around in the right place and someone will discover me. I’m not really into the whole starving artist movement, I’d much rather be working and making money happily rolling along in my mediocre life when BAM, I’m discovered. I mean really… who can deny my talent? What is my talent you ask? Well I don’t know, but I will know when someone discovers me, they’ll say wow that girl is the best singer, actor, dancer, person who can drink coffee (hey I think it’s a talent). And… even if I”m not the best at any of those, my personality will win them over, plus God loves me. So I’m going to keep singing in my car, and working on my coffee drinking talents, until I am discovered. Fame will come to me, I’m not running after it.

Well I’m back from my blogging sabatical…hopefully. Life kinda overruled my blog time, and I felt as though I had nothing of interest to share with my readers. I need some ideas folks, perhaps I’ll do a few books reviews, God knows I’ve read a million of them, that’s just in my university career. But I digress, what have you missed since I’ve been gone. I have two newly single, gorgeous girlfriends, their previous men have left the picture, putting them back on the market, so guys watch out!! I can’t wait to go out and hit the bar scene with them, watch the boys drool while we laugh at their exes stupidity in not holding on to them, their loss ha ha!

Back to school and working two jobs, gets a little hectic, but nothing I can’t handle… who needs sleep anyways? Not me apparently. We are doing a sociology debate on Tuesday about Internet dating, which should be pretty interesting. My group itself is interesting, me and 3 guys (Carter is not too happy about that, it seems to have prompted nightmares about me leaving him, silly chap). They seem like really nice guys, our debate should be pretty good. If any one has any opinions or personal experience with online dating let me know, more info the better. The gentleman on my side of the debate reminds me so much of my guy friends back home, laid back and funny. It’s nice getting to hang out with guys again. I grew up with guy friends staying at my house, and hanging out all the time. Moving to Lethbridge was wierd in that I have all girl friends now, I miss my guy time, it’s peaceful and simple. Alcohol and sex are the main topics of convo (what more do you need). No bad moods, bitching, cat fights, it’s so nice to hang with guys. Not that I don’t LOVE my girlfriends, they are absolutely essential to my survival, but sometimes it’s nice to not have to worry about hurting anyones feelings or for that matter farting and burping lol.

Oh ya back to new blog topics, I think I can finaggle the time to do a weekly thing, Danny you can figure something out, I’m leaving it in your hands.

Well I’m back in Fort MacCrap, back to school and work. Got home on Sunday and have been working steady nights since, in addition to school and my other job. Christmas holidays were great, got to spend alot of quality time with Carter and with my mom. They were much too short though, I’m still tired and in need of a real break. Four more months, four more months lol. The countdown to summer holidays has already begun. I’m already missing Carter and Rocky, but what can ya do. It is good to be back, so I can see my friends, grampy, Nik and Chloe. I love my life down here, but I love my life in Rocky even more. I feel like I live two completely separate lives, like I’m two different people. Wierd. But life goes on and in a few years I’ll be free of school and can set out to do what I want. I hope everyone else had a great holiday too.

Well Christmas went off great. Super busy, 22 people can be pretty exhausting. I got pretty spoiled, Carter got me a laptop which I am currently using YAY, I never ever ever would have guessed that, but it’s pretty sweet. I also got some bedding, and a bunch of other little stuff. Carter was down for the holidays I think it was pretty stunning for him at first but he eventually settled in. But we are both damn glad to be home that’s for sure, it’s nice to just be able to relax and take it easy. I’m pretty excited for New Years, I have no clue what we are doing yet, but I’ve never had a bad New Years here, so hopefully the fun tradition will continue. Merry Christmas to those who are away for the season like Danny, Tealka, Andrea, Megara, Angela and the rest. Hope every one is having a great holiday, I know we all needed it. All my love and best wishes, hope everyone drinks as much as I am planning on drinking on New Years he he. I’m out

 

 

Okay I stole this from a friends blog who stole it from another friends blog, but I thought it was important to share the joy. Santa has a blog and it’s AWESOME, at least I think so. It’s good to know what Santa is up to, and what Santa is all about. Just keeping the spirit alive…

There you go enjoy… don’t forget “He’s gonna find out whose naughty or nice”….

I’d like you all to watch as the burden of school is officially lifted from my shoulder… *sigh*, does that ever feel GREAT!! It was a long tough semester, and it’s finally OVER, that’s right I said it, it is OVER (just needed to read it twice to make sure). I was writing my last final today and as I watched people exit the testing room, they physically changed, from shoulder hunching, exhausted shells of human beings, to people with hope for an actual life again, and I also know every single one of them was headed towards a liquor store or bar, because nothing says the end of finals like an ice cold beer (or 10). For those of you who have never really been fully immersed in the hell that is finals, I recieved an email recently that expresses fully EXACTLY what we each go through, I’d like to share it with you:

“Hey guys, I figured i’d write an email to briefly overview what we’re all going through with finals right about now. Some of you aren’t writing finals, but have in the past, so maybe you remember. In my opinion theres 4 steps to getting through finals

Step 1. Denial - The test isn’t going to be that hard. I know my stuff pretty well I think I’ll do alright. It’s only worth 30%. I only need a 50% on the final to pass the class. Said any of those lately

2. Procrastination - Its not for another 3 days, I can totally party tonight. Its not for another 2 days, I study my best at crunch time anyways, lets go out for wings and then play some poker. It’s only tommorow, yeah I should write an email about finals to my friends instead of studying.

3. Realization - Holy fuck its tommorow I better stay up all night cramming this shit. Holy fuck I dont have enough time, I guess ill just study the basics and hope I can bluff all the MC.>

4. The Test - You’re still studying 20 minutes before the test gotta read that last chapter for the first time real quick. Saying to yourself ‘ I sure wish I started studying a week ago and was actually prepared for once’. While your writing the test you feel mediocre about every question, not knowing if your for sure right or completely wrong ever. After the test your elated about finally being done 1 fucking exam, and decide its a good idea to get drunk and celebrate instead of study for the next exam 2 days away.

Some other weird events that happen during finals

-You find doing anything else other than studying is fucking awesome.
-You watch poker on television for hours.
-You call your parents just to see what they’re up to, which you never do otherwise.
-You clean your room/kitchen/bathroom, b/c fuck, its better than studying.
-You help other people with their work because it’s more fun than your studying.
-You find yourself beating off 3 times a day because, fuck, its a good quick study break.
-You’re totally reevaluating your life, and maybe wondering if this ‘university education’ is such a good idea, realizing that riggers dont have to write any finals, and they can sure buy alot of toys.
-You talk to all those people on msn that you NEVER talk to. Oh hey ex boyfriend/ex girlfriend, whats new in your life?
-You find yourself sleeping in 3 extra hours because you ’study on your own time’ and ‘dont follow anyones rules, not even your own’ which in the end fucks yourself over b/c studying between 3-9 am doesnt work well
-Taking shits are even better than ever, unless you study on the toilet, then they’re just shitty
-You HATE anyone who has less finals then you, a better final schedule, finals that are later in the day. You best friend becomes an enemy because they write 3 finals instead of 4, that fucking dick, take a full load you slacker
-Coffee is  awsome. Nothing else will keep you awake to cram all that shit in your brain until 5 am, and then help you get up at 7 am so you can cram a little bit more before your 9am final.

If any of these dont apply to you, and your more prepared than I am for finals, I hate you.”

That is what each and every university student goes through at one point or another and usually twice a semester. So I’ll say it again, THANK GOD it’s over. Though, two week break and I”ll be back. Block it out Candice block it out

 

“It is a mistake to lose one’s sense of death, even one’s fear of death. Isn’t death the boundary we need? Doesn’t it give precious texture to life, a sense of definition?? You have to ask yourself whether anything you do in this life would have beauty of meaning without the knowledge you carry a final line, a border or limit.” Don DeLillo White Noise

Okay so apparently I’m a vampire, I’ve been doing some thinking lately and it seems about right. I sleep during the day and am awake at night, as soon as dawn breaks I cower and hiss and crawl into my coffin and close the lid, effectively shutting all light out of my life. Luckily it’s not light for very long in these winter months so I really only sleep about 6 hours a day.

I don’t think I have always been a vampire, it seems I’ve been bitten only since I entered University, hmmm University vampires stalking the hallways awaiting their prey, and apparently that prey is me. This curse has mutated me more slowly than usual, but just as effectively. Day by day I go to sleep a little later, started at about 2 am in September and has progressed to the point of 7 or 8 am now. What to do? Maybe I need to talk to Blade and ask him to lend me the daywalker gene… Anyone have his number?
