Well this morning when i got hom i found a large basket on my freezer. At first i thought it was one of lindsays birthday presents, but after Mirnada woke up and told me that Mark (landlord) had brought it by for all of us, i got super excited. I opened it up and WOW

Pasta
Pasta sause
Tons of hot chocolate
Fruit

Popcorn
more Chocolate
Candy Canes

So the weekend at home went well


I look like a praying mantis gahhh



Drove home on friday, the drive was slightly long, but i had good company. I didn't have any placement this week which was kinda nice. What else did i do....well not to much. So anyway back to friday night. Got home Had an awesome dinner "pasta a la Bon gustia" or somthing like that. Then Me and Bri played my parents in Crockano , we lost :( Started to watch the nightmare before Christmas. Didn't get very far through it. saturday Was awoken by a very confused Brian. He thought it was 8:30 when it was actually 7:30 so

Tired - 1 hour of sleep = more tired

hung out around the house all day, played Airhockey and Ping Pong........I am getting better. Then to redeem ourselves, me and Bri Played my mom and dad a Euchre...We totally creamed them. It was great. Then sab and Bri came over with the kids and we watch the Leafs and Canadians Leafs 4-3 in over time it was great. Made the night that much more positive. Dad and me played some ping pong and Bri (my Bri) and Sab played airhockey.

I got my money issue all sorted out so i am in a Plus 5 mood. I was thinking about going to sports mart today to look at soem jackets. Ohhhhhh i am soooo excited. Christmas is going to rock.

at this point i feel like its actually rediculus how much stuff they have assigned to us, and thats not even all of it i still have to factor in Placement twice a week for 7 hours a day. and class on monday and tuesday 8:30 - 3:30. I really think it would be a good idea to bring in this list and show the teachers. they don't communicate with each other so they have no idea how much work we have to do.

So now that i don't have a life anymore, i am really looking forward to Dec 13th. I think it will feel like one of the best days of my life.

i still also forgot about going home within the next two weekends. If i do go home i am gonna have to work there too. I just need a visual of everythign i have to do and how much time i have to do it in. It might help me alot.

Now i am just waiting for Brian to get home, i miss him so much and its only been 3 days. Well back to work i go!

My cat likes to eat plastic jelly fish

Its My Birthday!

Well my birthday definitely beat last years, i didn't get locked out of any rooms and no one stole my alcohol ....And i didn't even throw up.

It started pretty great, Every house i went t o during placement, Kelly would announce it was my birthday. She gave me a little present too. When i got home from placement i took a nap cause i was super exhausted and the Bri called and woke me, so i could get ready for dinner. We went to EastSideMarios, i had veal and pasta. Brian got me some really nice flowers and a kinder surprise (it was a good one to, not like a puzzle of something that you don't have to put together, it was actually a blue convertible) I drank Gin and tonic all night, and kept a pretty good buzz, i didn't have to buy any of my own drinks and i got 2 birthday shout outs at the bar.

I was a little ticked that mere, Nicole and Sarah didn't wish me happy birthday till like 11:58 at night, talk about leaving it to the last minute. Whatever

there were no picture which is kinda a bummer.

Well i am beat, i think i am going to go to bed now.

Night Night

It was strange in the most strange way

It seems like everything just came down to one single problem. I couldn't tell you what the problem was, but i knew how to push it out of the way for the time being.

I sat on the coach deep in some sorta of concocted misery. i ate right out of the pot, and i felt what came with that empty pot. The one or two pieces of macaroni stuck to the side, the ones that weren't scraped free, they didn't look tempting at all, they actually looked gross. The ones you eat around but if your really still hungry after finishing everything else, you'll eat them!

The past seems to wash over me a lot, its unexpected and some times it makes me crazy. Maybe i am crazy, maybe its this wanting to be different from everyone else that makes me crazy. Or maybe its because i have stumbled across some assortment of ideas that just happen to be the correct ones, but humanity cannot deal with the truth.

this weekend was pretty fun, Friday was great. i went to Bob and Kelly's house to watch the guys play Snakes and ladders. I got pretty involved with the drinking and even poured myself a estimated shot in a tumbler (those are never good). I had a fun time with Brian, it feels so good to be around him.

i am looking forward to sleeping in my bed tonight. My new pillows make it so worth it. They are like those pillows you see on the TV shows and in commercials.

My bed in its present state:

Bones is in his routine position

Anyway i am heading to bed, i am beat!

Oh Boy

So last night i got really drunk and ended up smashing my head off Brian's bathtub

Gloria, Brians sister came down to visit him and the plan was to do some pre drinking at his house, With Bob and kelly too. But i got to drunk and made it all the way to the bathroom, where i ended up bashing my head off the soap holder in the tub. My head has a huge bump on it now. So now again i have missed another outting, prospects for me making all the way through my birthday look pretty grim, but i will switch to Gin instead of Vodka, i think that may help me make it through the night.

Some Bar-ing is in order for thursday. Lindsay and Dallas are going to come too so that will be great

Whats really ticking me off right now it the fact that on friday i was not here and yet someone...i suspision Patty, came into my room and smoked a cigarette, then put it out in one of my candles and didn't clean up his mess. I am really becoming dissapointed in him. He seems to be doing really sketch ball thing to me. I am not impressed and i think he should give me an apology for what he did. But who do i really blame for it? LAURA, why you ask? Because it always seems that these things happen when laura invites these disrespecting people to our house, (or dorm room when that was the case). and the other girls in the house (i have been living with them longer) and their friends have never done anything like that.

oh and i guess you are wondering why my door was open? my cat likes to sleep in my room, so i leave the door open a crack so that he can get out or in when he wants. I guess i can't do that anymore because of some people who don't respect other peoples property.

The ranting about laura could go on for hours, i have so many things that could make the list but because i am steaming just thinking about it, i'll give it a rest.

ONe more thing, just to get it off my mind. Laura has this obsession with locking her bedroom door all the time and all the house doors...even when she is home. Laura we don't live in the ghetto and second Lindsay, jackie, dallas and i made it all summer without having anyone try to break into our house. we left the door unlocked during the day because we all have places to go and usually some one is home. i talked to her today about it and she gives me her little "i don't feel safe unless the doors are locked" Poor little orleans bubble laura dosen't feel safe in her own house. Sarcasim* someone is gonna come and steal her precious laptop, patterned plates and pink everything from her room. , or wait maybe shes afraid of getting kidnapped and held ransome, i have a tear for her. sarcasim over* Lindsay and Dallas came home last night from the bars in a taxi and they had money inside to pay him. Laura had locked all the doors in the house and when they bang on the doors for several minutes and loud loud! laura didn't answer. and guess where she was? On the couch right beside the front door, like she was on gaurd or something. Anyone would be woken by Dallas banging a broom on your window! COME ON

And thats what really grinds my gears!

What a dinner should be

A dinner should be tasty and fullfilling, leave you satisfyied and not wanting anymore then what you just ingested. It should make you smile and think "WOW the steak was cooked perfectly" and "i don't think i could recreate tha meal if i tried"

A dinner should not be COLD, over flavoured (because then your taste buds get over loaded and you could die) to complex or too simple, 3 is a good number for friends on a plate.

example

Steak
Potatos
Carrots

two is just ....well the number to me seems like it couldn't satisfy me. The plate may be to big in my mind for 2.

T-shirts with catchy sayings and funny punch lines .......i hate em and they stink. I am not sure why, i think it might be the fact that i know some other person is going to be wearing it so i know its not original. just some stupid thing to add to popular demand.

BONJOUR

SO this weekend was a pretty big success! I got my recert done and my CPR updated, that's out of the way now!

Friday night

Sarah Came over and we hung out for a while, she had brought over some stuff to work on, Designs for her GD program at Humber. She was talking about this cup she had to cut in half so me, brian (and some long distance help from jason)and her thought of some ways to cut it. We attempted to use a dremal but that was very unsuccessful!
I also got a hold of Shar and she told me when i had to be up at Heights ......8:30AM ....WHHAAAA.
No sleeping in for me.
Me and BRI raided the cupboards and fridge for cheese and crackers and all kinds of yummy snacks. Sarah, and i made perogies, they were so good.

In bed by 11:30 and that includes studying for the recert. :( so tired!

Oh and i forgot to report on my IKEA adventure. I love that place so much, it took Whit, Bri and I an hour and a half to go through it and it was so worth it. I got some cups for the kitchen (now they all match) and Brian got a whole shit load of tea lights, oven mitts (what was he doing with out them in the first place ...i don't know....*cough* burnt finger) and a chopper.

Saturday DAY

up at 6:30, and i studied more for the recert. Off to heights. I was there from 8:15am till 7:30 at night. I was super tired, but on the plus side i got to see all the patrollers from 2 years ago and i got my CPR recert too, so that's all out of the way.

Saturday Night

Went to Jackasstors with Brian, Sabrina, Mike, Veronica and B (this is what Brian wants me to call him now, its not gonna happen, but because it will alleviate confusion at the moment its being used) It was a pretty fun time, we had territory wars (crayones were used to mark our territory on the table and then I sabatoged everyones) and ice cube fights (consisting of veronica and Sabrina flicking water at me, i fell off my chair, and putting ice cubes in my coat pockets) and i also got pretty drunk!

PAN BREAD RULES

Sunday

Slept in till about 10ish and then i put in laundry and got that ball rolling. I made Breakfast for Bri and me and he burned all my moms Christmas CDS. SWEET.
then we played air hockey SCORE 38 - 38 then we played some piano, and looked at some geek pictures of me from elementary school and high school.


Listening to: Tegan and Sara ALBUM So Jealous

Then we went to Sab and Brian's for dinner. Veronica came over to and Dinner was great!

The Menu:

Coffee and wine


Pork cutlets

Parmesan potatoes

Corn
Garlic Bread

Apple Crisp


We played Dr. Mario and Tetris too, Domenic even came over ! i hadn't seen him in a while.
Then WE went home!

And here are some pictures from the weekend

Everything has changed so much since the summer #2

I was just looking at some peoples blogs today, wow have things changed! It all happens so fast, but what can i say i guess everything does . i should be getting to bed since it is 1 in the morning and i havn't stayed up this late in forever. I am such a geek!

I went back to future shop today and i got the MINI. Ya iam back to that...oh well, the thing that i have for my car is so sweet. Its this device that plugs into the lighter outlet and my Mini plugs into it and it transmits through radio frequency. The thing is, its clear as a bell, unlike those itrips. Its a great thing and i can't believe i got it for free WOW.

ANyway goodnight ALL, the weekend is just around the bend!

Food! i love it

I got a parking ticket yesterday for parking infront of my house. What bullshit is that, well i am obviously not paying for it. I went to Town hall and filled out some form telling them why im not.

It goes alittle something like this:

I AM NOT PAYING FOR THIS TICKET. I live at 12 foster st, which is where my car was parked when you ticketed me. I live with 5 other people and 2 of them also drive cars. The drive way makes it impossible for me to park in there, during class...if any of the people in my house need their cars i would have to move mine and i would be in class so that wouldn't be happening.


I am pissed at the fact that i had to waste gas and my time to go to Town Hall and do this, i think they should have parking exceptions for anyone who lives in that subdivision. MEAT HEAD metermaids hate their life and they just love to make other people suffer!

So my Halloween was a downer, no going out no drinking no nothing...well actually i did get my hair dyed. It looks pretty sweet. It took lindsay about 3 hours to do it but it turned out beautifully! Its Red and Brownish ...well you'd have to see it to get the picture!

Oh and i went to bed at like 10:00 o'clock....ON halloween , what is this?

Last night Brian came over and i made veal parmishan, i was actully surpsised at how good it turned out. I am going to cook homemade meals more often, i also figured out that i f i go grocery shopping every week, i can get some fresh food instead of the traditional "shop for food that will last for a month" (freezer stuff).

I bought tons of cold meats, and this morning i made myself an awesome toasted sandwich. :)

Whats on the agenda for today:

12:30pm meeting with Veronique, now i can see how i did in placement
after meeting, go visit Kori, hopefully he will be there so we can chat.
maybe clean my room.
watch Beetlejuice
i think that i will be going to future shop and picking up the mini, i have thought about it alot and i really liked the mini, it was a good product, and i must admit i was a little hard on it.....although i really wanted the classic ipod but i can't run with that, and the nano is just not up to par! Its small and light but they get scratched easily and ..well fell apart with in 30 days of having it. So if i go back to the Mini i can use my fancy car gadget for it.

MAGIC 8 BALL says: all signs point to "DOOoooo IT"

update on the Mcdonalds monopoly, we have every one that you can possibly get with out winning, so now its just waiting to see if the lucky on will come along....probably not, but it doesn't hurt to dream a bit!

going to do the Ski patrol cert this weekend that should be fun, and the outting with Sab, Bri, Mike, VV and Brian will be awesome (And no i didn't put the same Brian in there twice, its 2 different ones ..this could get complicated)

i think its shower time

what are you doing

i was listening to country and i think i still am, what is this!
