i miss school. there, i said it.

my co-worker and i were talking about last year's blackout yesterday. naturally, the subject of where we were when it happened came up. i was at laurier, studying in the atrium of the schlegel building. i didn't even know it was such a big deal until my sister called a couple of hours later demanding to know whether i was okay.
 
edward and i were the only ones left in the house by then, everyone else were gone since they were done school. i had a P4 takeout and he had cold leftover swiss chalet chicken. then we roasted mini marshmallows over my green tea scented candle. we just hung around upstairs after that, don't really remember what we did but i do know i tried to go to sleep without any sucess. the lights came back on at around 2am and being the geeks we are, we booted up our computers and we were the only ones on icq, which never ever happens. we stayed up 'til really late on our respective floor of the house and chatted on MSN and played games 'til we were falling asleep.
 
i like recalling memories such as those cuz they remind me that edward and i really were friends who were very comfortable with each other before anything happened. we were friends purely because we enjoyed each other's company, not because of the attraction we had between us as some ppl have suggested.
 
i really really really miss waterloo in so many ways. i think fourth year was the second best year of my life, the first being grade 11.
 
i loved how school wasn't really as hectic as i thought it was.
i loved how i could do anything i wanted and not have someone nagging me all the time.
i loved the giggles and talks with jo and alice and of course all the time i spent with edward.
i loved playing uno on alice's bed and crack up cuz it's so late and we are all so stressed about exams/deadlines but we just wanted to procrasstinate.
 
it just brings a smile to my face.
 
time for: sleep! it's 1:30am.. i have to get up in 5.5 hours. ack.

bye bye jimmy.. i'll miss you.

i realize that this entry is about two months late, but i only finished watching the last episode of SNL a few minutes ago. *sniff sniff* where am i gonna get my jimmy fix now? sure, i'll go see Taxi when it comes out, but it's a guaranteed flop. floppity-flop.  this is gonna leave a void. sigh.

time for: din din.. then gym.. then RACE! who wants to come over for RACE? you? no? dammit, you guys suck!

anyone up for this? say around beginning of sept.?

YAY! IT'S DONE!

today was a much much much better day.
 
factor #1: woke up at a decent hour today (11:15am to be exact), no insane banging on the wall to wake me up. score!
 
factor #2: got some Eve time after i woke up and read a book, walked around in my jammies and took my sweet time checking ppl's blogs, the news,  the paper etc.
 
factor #3: my computer is finally starting to feel like my computer again.. it was an empty shell for a week and a half after it was reformatted and now it's got 90% of the programs/functions that i'm acustomed to on my computer. winamp is working, yay!
 
factor #4: I CLEANED OUT ALL MY SHIT FROM MY ROOM!!!! this is quite an achievement, i think. all my waterloo junk is now either in boxes or on a shelf in my room. and with edward's help, the five speakers that came with my stereo are finally all hooked up, 5 years after they were purchased. i'm so excited about my clean, clutter free room. ('cept for that little corner which still has a little hill of junk. but it's just a hill, so it's alright)
 
factor #5: 7 happy months. muah.
 
time for: a little bit of sleep. about 6 hours probably. sigh. stupid weekdays.

BANG BANG BANG.

do you know the feeling when you just woke up and you feel all disoriented and have no idea what the hell is going on?
 
the sound of something banging against the wall woke me up this morning. i thought it was someone trying to knock the side door down because there was an emergency. then my head cleared a little and i checked my phone. it was 7:45am. i crawled to the foot of my bed and opened the door just as my mom was coming out of her room looking every bit as disoriented as i was feeling. she went to see what was going on and found my dad with a hammer in his hand. apparently he decided to get a head start on home renovations and was trying to take out a milk box installed into our side wall.
 
at 7:45 in the morning. on a saturday.
 
wtf, mate?
 
seriously, why the hell would anyone in their right mind bring a hammer to a wall at that time of the day on a saturday? my theory was that he was bored. good god, make some breakfast or watch some tv if you are bored, don't try to put a hole in the wall!
 
time for: cleaning my room. i wish i could put up a picture to show you how messy my room has become.
 
 

summerfest 2004 

OH RIGHT, I HAVE A BLOG.

whoa whoa whoa.. have i neglected my blogging for that long?  the blogspot composer has turned all fancy. cool.
 
past couple of weeks have been kinda busy. didn't really do much except for go to summerfest last weekend. that was a good/bad weekend. good because it was fun to hang out with everyone. bad because summerfest itself was sucky since they played alternative all the time. one thing i learned though is that i cannot sleep on the ground when i'm not that tired with the sun in my face. oh, and i get paranoid when i'm lacking sleep. who knew.
 
oh check this out, it's disgusting. yum.
 
saw i, robot yesterday. it was pretty good, a little creepy how life-like the robots were though. haha, i'm like an old person who's creeped out by new fangle CGI stuff. the movie mixed action and a little bit of sentiment nicely. it was a nice, fluffy, Will Smith summer movie. better than wild wild west at least, i'm sure.
 
time for: must continue looking for a job.

ONE OF THOSE DAYS...

today feels like a blah day, one of those days when i can't seem to cheer up and i'm not even sure i know why. all these little things bugging me, not enough to really annoy me, but enough to make me feel very blah.

woke up in a bad mood.. maybe i had a bad dream? dunno. didn't help that i had a throbbing pain behind my right eye. didn't have anything to eat at home for breakfast. slammed my head hard twice on the glass on the subway while dozing off. realized that my my pants were caught btn my heel and shoe because the shoe is falling apart. came to work and was put on an assignment that was completely frustrating. bothered by the boss about "technical" questions... learn how to use a computer, man!

augh.. see no way out of this yuckyness today. dun even feel like shopping during lunch even though the temp. is so nice outside.

maybe this'll go away in the next hour or so...

time for: more mundane tasks at work

YAY, WEEKEND!

*yawn*

so glad it's the weekend in an hour and 45 minutes.

this has been a long week, even though we had a day off yesterday it still wasn't enough. i need people to stop waking me up!

the problem with my lack of sleep is that from sunday night to thurs nights, I don't get enough sleep cuz I have to get up at 7 in the morning. Then when Friday and Saturday night comes around, I refuse to sleep early because those are the nights I can actually stay up late. So I get a lack of sleep during the week cuz of work, then I get a lack of sleep during the weekend cuz I'm dumbass. And then I complain about the lack of sleep. Maybe someone should just slap me. Or ground me.

saw spied yesterday, really liked it. Thought it was kinda strange though, I won't go into it in case there are people who have not seen it. it was nice seeing funny people who make me laugh. I just love dumbasses who drink alcohol after taking medication. So irrational, yet so suitable. Ha.

so bored at work today. I bascially have nothing to do because I never stay in one department long enough for my work to accumulate. doesn't help that it's the day between a day off and a weekend either. My bosses are not here so there's nothing stopping me from surfing and blogging and emailing from my little corner of the office. Maybe I'll use the next hour and a half to look for a new job. Ha.

time for: pretending to work.
