It's 2004!!!

Wow, it's 2004... Well, New Years went pretty well. My scarf is almost done! I just have to get my mom to teach me how to stop knitting! heh heh, the scarf goes all the way to my knees!!

Tomorrow I go see Speedy, my b/f. We're going to get a movie and he's going to make supper. He says that if he burns it, we just order pizza. ^_^

But yeah, camp was good. My livejournal looks neat, eh? eh? heh heh. I'm trying to see how when I update here, that it updates on livejournal as well. I'll work on it.

But yeah, lots of ppl that I knew were at camp this year, almost all of my leadership training group was there, which was neat. We're the most closely bonded group the camp has seen yet, with the record of people returning to work, and the most overall-hyper award as well.
Anyways, I stayed up almost all night last night. There was nice candy and stuff. hmmmmmmm, food! And then I went to sleep at 6:30 am. My roommate tried to get me out of bed at nine, she was really giddy. I think I may have swore at her. oops... sorry... sleeping kitty don't mean it!! Most likely I just murmured something and rolled over. I got up at eleven am, when breakfast was served.

I just had a shower, the first for the year. I didn't wash for the last three days of 2003. It's a tradition with me. Sam, my roomie, didn't understand. Oh well...
anyways, I'm still a little sleepy. I want to do wash, and start gethering things to pack to go back to school. I sort of miss school, but I don't miss the stress. Okay, I'll be honest, I miss my anime. I'm in anime withdrawal.

Hmm, I need to see my anime friends too. meh...
I have to go see Robin, I have a present from my grandma for her. My gramma knitted her a scarf, cause she's such a nice friend. I also have to return her CD and shirt. heh heh, I want to borrow a video too... ^_^ so, g2g! Love ya!!!

Johnny Depp night at Skiffy

**drool** now that is an actor. We watched Edward Scissorhands, PotC, and Once upon a time in Mexico (I think that's what it was called. It's sort of two thirty in the morning). It was cool. Me, Laura, and Lauren made remarks during the entire thing. One bad thing that happened was the crowd for the Turrent, the dance club one floor above. People were coming into the 24 hour lounge and were being LOUD!!!!!

Oh yes, last Friday I had my lifestyles coach come over. Before she came, I dusted as best I could, and got the wash gathered. I sort of am breaking my new year's resolution to not spend so much money on sugar and sweets. **sigh** I'll get better, I can't just get better over night. Anyways, we went for coffee in the Atrium, and then did the wash and vacuumed my room. Next week we're going to work on my desk, cause there's a lot of dust with my computer and all.

meh, what did I do today? Actually, I went to bed at one in the morning, and got up at about nine. As of date, I've completely watched Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Hack//Sign, Escaflowne, Utena, Eva, Gundam Wing, Fruits Basket, Lain, The Slayers and Slayers Next. I finished Hack//sign last night. The music is haunting!!!!! I LOVE IT!!! I wanna know what comes after sign though. I know that there's more!!

meh, I should go to bed. mesa tired. But yeah, I actually worked today. I studied my glossary terms, wrote my english assignment, and took a shower. Oh yes, and read the latest chapter of Naruto ^^

It's a start... hmm, I have the desire to draw again too. Maybe I should finish the painting that's sitting in the corner...

poem

It Might
It might have been coincidence
It might be fate
It might be the burning truth
But then it might be all a fake

It might be that your mind is lost
It might be that it's found
It might be that you're dreaming
But then it might be six feet underground

It might be that I'm honest
It might be that I'm a liar
It might be that I'm standing still
But then it might be that I wander

I might be in the darkness
I might be in the light
I might be living by the day
but then I might be surviving by night

It might be that I'm wrong
It might be that I'm right
It might be that there's rules
It might just be a might.

I was thinking of .hack//sign when I wrote it. meh, I actually tried to rhyme. anyways...

Sword Fighting night at Skiffy ^^

Zorro and Robin Hood: men in tights. There's another one, but I forget which one it is. meh, it's all good though, right?

anyways, I'm going to be leaving for it in, like, 15 minutes. I finally got to sign into MSN messenger, for the first time this month. It's nice to practice my rapid typing skills that I'm somewhat famous for with some of my friends. Or maybe not ^_^ I have been known to type faster than a lot of people. I started typing this at 6: 20, so yeah. meh, What else should I say? that I haven't done a lot today? Oh, that's implied, I think. Typing is fun though. I like to think that I'm beating Kira from Gundam SEED, but that just might be in my head. Oh well, I think I have to be going now, considering how much time it takes me to get ready to go out the door. There's a lot of snow out there too.

See you all! It's 6:23 now ^^

oh yes, for supper, A brownie and two bananas

Bits of Fun and thoughtfullness

What have I done today? I've checked some of my email. Last nights movies were fun, we also watched Disney's The Three Musketeers. All during all of the movies, Lori and Miles were having a quiet discussion on which actors should be casted for a book they wanted to write the script for. Out of consideration, they decide to exclude actors from LotR, cause they're too obvious.
During Zorro, they were comparing it to various elements of Batman, which was quite amusing.
And now that I'm older, I fully understood the jokes in Robin Hood: men in tights. The first time I saw it, I didn't, I just thought everything sounded funny. Interesting; I think that I was around the same age as when my brother showed me Ghost in the Shell, and rated R anime. I suppose that a lot of things pass over your head when you're younger, and then somethings don't. Or maybe cause I'm Aspie (asperger Syndrome).

Ah, the state of being fairly naïve. The other day someone asked me which MSN client I used. I replied, "client?" Not that I don't know what a client is, I just didn't know MSN used clients. The world becomes very fun.

meh, another fun little thing happened this week. I was in Film Studies with my friend from last term, Will. Now, this term I have to take a bag lunch to school for Film Studies, cause I just don't have enough time to run back to the rez for lunch. In my lunch this week were a bag of celery sticks, and a cookie.
Nudging Will, I hold up the celery, and say "Look! Healthy num-yums!" then I pull out the cookie. "Look! Not so healthy num-yums!"
Will was highly amused. He replied, "[my name], you rock! You say num-yums out loud."
I blink, and ask him to repeat himself cause the people behind us chose that time to be loud.
"You have the dignity to say num-yums out loud."
"Hm, I wouldn't say that I have dignity. I would say that I have a lack thereof, because I just don't care."
Will laughed, and agree.

Will is also amused that I think he looks like an anime character. I seem to have a talent for naturally amusing people. A week ago, I overheard some other students talking about what flavours of ice cream are pink while I was in the servery. As I was just about to leave, one of them mentioned bubblegum, so as I walk by and out the door, I cry "Bubblegum!" in a really happy voice.
Later they told me that it was just so random, it made them laugh.
I've done other stuff, like leaving my door open when I'm watching anime. My neighbours have remarked how wonderful it is in the evening, when they're working, to hear me giggling across the hall.

I'm just so pleased in how I can amuse the world. I think that my purpose in life is to make the world more interesting.

I wonder, I don't think that there's anyone who hates me. I think this because I find myself to be incapable of real hatred. Oh sure, I don't like the way that people act, and their views. And there's people who I can't stand to be around, but that's part of how they act; I don't hate the person themself. But, isn't it a good thing? I mean, there's enough hatred in the world, that I don't want to be adding to it. Maybe it's naïve of me, but I believe that all people can get along, that hatred is born out of fear, and that I can make a difference, even if it's just by touching the people around me.

Why Should I Worry?
Why Should I Care?
People Going Crazy
And I'm Already There


I wrote that, and I painted it onto a peice of birch bark. Yeah, I don't worry about a lot of the little things, because are they really that important? Yes, I have a presentation that's due tomorrow, and I haven't started because I'm too lazy to turn off my K-lite and go onto MSN to email the other students. Yeah, I'm going to go through some ackward situations because of it. But I'm just going to let it go. I figure that I'll deal with it when it becomes 'in the now'.

I think I've been reading too much Elfquest.
meh, not to say that I don't worry. I worry over school, about the future, about my friends, about my family, and my cats. I worry about my art and my writing, and whether or not I'm actually going to finish my novels, or update my websites. And every once in a while, one set of worries becomes more apparent then the others, and so I focus on that. Sometimes I focus on stuff like entertainment, but then I ignore other things.
A cycle of obsession, I call it. And I just go around and around.

Everything will be fine, a voice in my head says. And it feels that way. I'm not sure, but could you help me? I ask it.
One thing that I have learned in life is that everything works out. It's just that it might not be to the way that you like it. But all I have to do is concentrate on what I have to do, and do things to the best of my ability. What happens, happens.

hm, I rant. DONE!

SNOW DAY!!!!

yes, apparently it's a snow day and all of classes are cancelled, all across southern Ontario. And it's all because of an ice storm that's rolling in. Oh, the weather is wonderful. This is the first time I've had a snow day since grade school!!!!

So I got up early for nothing! I was kind of looking forward to classes, because they get so interesting. But I guess it's a good thing, since I didn't get to bed until 3 this morning.

I made a new friend, Cassandra. She's sort of hyper, and I have the feeling that I'm actually going to have a social life with her around. She dragged me off to 110 last night, and we played video games. I'm starting to get better at the game. At least, I haven't been dying as much, and actually made it to second place at one point. But then sleepiness set in.

Let's see, I also sat into an English class at UW, and I'm a WLU student. It was Cassandra's class, and since I didn't want to leave such an interesting character yet, I sat in her class. It was in a building two colleges down. (There's four colleges on the UW campus; three of us are religious)

But I presented my assignment yesterday. So I'm glad that I'm able to put that out of the way. Hm, now, what to do today? I'm awfully sleepy...

Hm, I'm pretty sure that someone opened my door this morning, said my name, and then shut my door. I have a really really heavy door, like fire door (my room used to be the laundry room), and it makes a certain sound when it closes. I heard that sound, so I'm thinking that I didn't imagine it and it really woke me up. My alarm clock is for much later.

anyways, I have some unfinished anime to watch . . . SPIRITED AWAY!!! in JAPANESE!!! ^_^
