Happy Holidays

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

Ho Ho Ho

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…

Heck Ya!!

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

Great Quote

 

“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

I’m a Vampire

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?

Battle of The Sexes

Danny and I got into it hardcore on msn… Battle of the Sexes… we’ll see who comes out on top….

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

ya i know you are like that, your kinda the version of me if i had a killer rack and a vagina

~Candy~ says:

Exactly so I’m more like the upgrade

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

a rack and a vagina don’t make you an upgrade there sugar tits

~Candy~ says:

um…ya…they do

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

um there are 2 things you got that i don’t i got 2 things that you don’t too, cock and balls

~Candy~ says:

Vagina trumps cock, giver of life and all that jazz

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

cock creates the life tho

~Candy~ says:

We don’t need the cock though just the sperm. You NEED the uterus

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

ummm no just the egg

~Candy~ says:

ummm no. You need the uterus

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

ummm ya what do you think a test tube baby is

~Candy~ says:

It’s not actually raised in a test tube dummy…look it up

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

well it aint raised in a uterus

~Candy~ says:

Test tube babies are when the egg and sperm are put together outside the uterus then implanted into the uterus

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

uh no, i got an adam’s apple what you got??

~Candy~ says:

http://history1900s.about.com/od/medicaladvancesissues/a/testtubebaby.htm

~Candy~ says:

Breasts…That can actually nourish a child

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

ya and i got cock and balls, that makes 3 things to your 2

~Candy~ says:

Two breasts and a vagina

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

2 balls, a cock and an adam’s apple and a prostate

~Candy~ says:

Okay well if you wanna go internal…2 breasts, vagina, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

vas deferense

~Candy~ says:

We win just deal with it

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

by we you mean men right

~Candy~ says:

no I mean women. Plus, hardly anyone believes the male form is more beautiful than the female form

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

beauty isn’t everything

~Candy~ says:

It’s damn important

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

only if your shallow

~Candy~ says:

Or… human…Or really any mammal

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

ummm only if your shallow, and mammals goes more by size and strength

~Candy~ says:

No it doesn’t every mammal has their own distinct reference for what we term beauty

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

ummm usual the alpha male and alpha female rule

~Candy~ says:

That’s just in wolves and lions

~Candy~ says:

Quit being silly. Look it up

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

i aint looking up poo, you look

~Candy~ says:

Well then don’t talk out of your down-graded man ass

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

listen here you sweater puppy carrying fool. men rule women are a close second but not quite thre yet

~Candy~ says:

We just let men think they rule…and you had better watch it or I’ll brain ninja you

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

sticks and stones may break my bones but ninjas are fake, men made them up to confuse women, just like rubex cubes

~Candy~ says:

You show me you solving a rubex cube and I”ll let you have this one

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

i can do it in under 30 mins

~Candy~ says:

Bullshit

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

nope

~Candy~ says:

K well show me and I’ll allow that guys made up Ninjas to confuse women….

But then many women have now mastered the arts and it is no longer confusing, so… once again… you failed

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

do you have a rubex cube>

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

just as many men know the arts as women

~Candy~ says:

that wasn’t the point, *sigh* once again u are lost…typical

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

we shoulda never allowed you to vote, biggest mistake ever, look at the states and their moronic leader all cuz of females

~Candy~ says:

Interesting that the majority of moronic leaders are males…hmmmm

And there were moronic leaders for centuries before females could vote

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

if you women would quit falling for assholes then maybe someone good could lead someone somewhere…not by vote tho

name 33

~Candy~ says:

How does that even make sense?

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

well i did a math equation and figured out the exact number of idiots that could get in without vote to be 30 so essential you only have to name 3 that were voted in, see girls aren’t good at math, and if they are, they are a witch and should be burnt at the stake

~Candy~ says:

There you go being all male and perpetuating stereotypes…

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

it’s a fact did you come up with 33 nuhuh

~Candy~ says:

It may be a fact that I am not good at math that by no means makes all women poor at math, you aren’t awesome at grammar, does that mean all men suck at it?.. no

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

umm actually grammar not one of our strengths no not really

~Candy~ says:

It’s not one of your strengths but don’t bring down the entire sex with your faults

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

do you realize how entertaining you are to me, and your just a simple woman lol

~Candy~ says:

I’m glad I’ve amused you by allowing you to believe in our sexes simplicity, but sadly we are the superior sex and it is due to YOUR simplicity that you haven’t yet recognized that, sad really

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

no it wasn’t

Who puts the Chum in Chumbawamba? says:

to quote the great scholars beavis and butt head, it ruled

 

In closing, It’s time to stop letting men believe they are superior, it’s time to bring to light what was always obvious to half the population (or more). Don’t forget to comment, this is a war, and it’s time to prove the prowess of women in battle.

Ho Ho

So the holiday season is upon us… and I”m getting ancy. I can’t wait for the holidays, I’m booked up solid until the 22nd and need the break. I’m soooo looking forward to Christmas with the family, then heading back to Rock City to relax and hit the town for New YearsSmile!! I talked to my friend Grant today, who I get to talk to like twice a year. I went to high school with Grant, and he’s doing so great now. For those of you who have heard of Fringe Fest in Edmonton, Grant will be creating a show for it for next summer!! I can’t wait to see it, he’s so talented and the best friend anyone could ask for. It’s nice especially at this time of year to know that you have great friends and family, and I’m so thankful for having all of them (even if they drive me crazy sometimes lol). So in closing Merry Christmas

Blah

Sorry i haven’t posted much lately but I’ve been busy. Busy and sick. Yes the dreaded cold has come upon me and scissor kicked me in the head. Runny/stuffy nose (it alternates), bloated head, coughing, sneezing the whole bit. And too top it all off, I’ve been working like crazy, actually I just came off night shift at 7:30 this morning and yippee now I get to go to work at 4 this afternoon, then finals this week. So basically I’m busy, sick and tired. Whiney whiney me I know!! But hey a girl’s got rights, and sometimes, like now, I just need a good hug, or better yet and nice warm blanket someone to cuddle me some hot soup and nothing to do but curl up. Any takers?
