I hate the Ontario Colleges website. Not only does it fail in every possible way, it is CONFUSING.
And this may be shocking to find out, but I don't like confusing things.
Argh.
Today I watched the beginning of The Dark Knight. Even though I'm not some super obsessed Batman fan, I really do enjoy this movie. I'm even wearing my "why so serious?" shirt right now. I think it's got something to do with my interest on anarchism.
The reason why I enjoy Fight Club so much could do with this as well.
Whatever the case, Fight Club is a good book, and The Dark Knight is a good movie.
Either way, I have to get back to the frustration at hand.

My day that is boring
Hello!
Today is Saturday, and I didn't do anything. Want to know what I did do? Well, today I woke up, watched the two final episodes of How I Met Your Mother in season four, went back to bed, woke up (again), read a magazine, entered a contest, had supper, watched the news (WOW, the weather in Tennessee is crazy!) and now, here I am.
I also had breakfast, had some cake, and got frustrated during this time.
Saturday is such a lame day, when you think about it. There's really nothing good on tv, and the following day is Sunday: the boring day. Also in my house, Sunday dinners are STUPID.
I'm not going to lie. But speaking of dinner, sometime next week I'm going to make supper. Yay! I don't know what I'm going to make yet, but it'll be something new. What's your favorite meal?
I like chicken parm. It's yum-o.

CAKE
Right now I'm listening to the Veronica Mars theme song. Otherwise known as We Used To Be Friends by the Dandy Warhols, it's a tres awesome song.
And now I just decided to put on the Veronica Mars soundtrack. Good music, I inform you!
I wish I had this show on DVD to watch. Argh! ANGST!
Well, I don't know what to write. Today I made a cake that I should've made last week. For what? Just for the hell of it! It's a chocolate cake, and rather awesome. Except I haven't ate it yet, I ASSUME it'll be awesome. I'm also assuming this is the cake my sister made a few years back that literally made my day. So if this is the case, I will post the recipe.
I would like everyone to experience such wonders.
And I'm not just being nice, either.
But speaking of nice, I better eat the cake!

Teaching
Whoah, I haven't blogged in TWO days. But you know what? That is okay because I get TWO "free" days of not blogging. So I haven't failed in my resolution yet! It may seem like it to some, but this is not the case. It's exciting!
Yeah.
It's Thursday and I didn't have any school today. I don't have any school tomorrow, either. However on Monday, it'll be an entirely new semester. Yay! New classes! New teachers! Although all the teachers I have on my timetable, I've had all of them before. So they're not really new, per say. I don't mind too much. They're all tres awesome!
Except the teacher that I think of being THE ULTIMATE AWESOME is not going to be teaching me. If I do become a teacher, she's the teacher that I'm going to try and be. Have you ever had a teacher that is cool? Hopefully you have!
Anyways.
If you were to become a teacher, what age group would you want to teach? What subject would you even want to teach? Because I am curious to know.

GET UP!
I didn't have school today. I was awoken at 7:30 from my dad going "you missed the bus! You missed the bus!"
Seriously.
So I kind of just grab a pair of socks, getting prepared for the day.
Yes, grabbing a pair of socks was my first reaction.
Two minutes later, my dad informs me there is no school. The buses weren't running. So I go back to bed, because I was tired. I mean, wouldn't you be? Yes. So at 9:37 my sister runs into the room going "you have a phone call! You have a phone call!" It was my teacher calling, telling me that I can write my exam on Wednesday.
Man, that's how you're SUPPOSED to be awaken.
So I watched the beginning of Beauty and the Beast and Sydney White. Beauty and the Beast was this morning, while Sydney White was this evening. I also had waffles! With whipped cream and blueberries. It was tres yummy!
My sister is a good cook (at times).
I, however, am not.

They broke up
All the plans I had for today? Yeah, I didn't do any of them. I didn't study. I didn't make a cake. I didn't make a video. But to give credit to the video, I did talk into the camera for... two seconds before I deleted it.
I did however watch How I Met Your Mother and take a nap!
It also snowed a lot today. And rained. This is not a combination good for driving. I hope there isn't a snow day tomorrow. Mostly because I have an exam at 9:30AM tomorrow, and it would SUCK to miss it. I mean, seriously!
But no worries, there WILL be school.
*thinks of sleep*
I'm not even that tired. I'm just kind rawrrawrrawrrawr. It's the last episode of season two, that is on for How I Met Your Mother. Robin and Ted are just breaking up (I assume) so that's kind of sad. But because we know that Robin isn't THE ONE for Ted, it's not really that sad.
Yes.
They DID break up! (Surprise, surprise.)
Oh well.

Plans Never Win
How I Met Your Mother is on pause right now.
It totally spaced my mind to blog today. I mean, I DID think about it earlier, but 10 minutes ago I was reminded, when my sister, said "hey, did you write your blog yet?"
No, I didn't.
But don't worry, as I am right here.
I haven't got much to say, actually.
Tomorrow is my day full of studying and cake making. I might also even make a video. We shall see if my plans actually turn out. It's magical how plans have the awesome powers of failing.
I was planning on spending some time on the internet today, replying to things, but I didn't. Today I just kind of slept, and watched a movie. A movie that Meg Cabot wrote the screenplay for! Well, she wrote it, but they kind of redid it, sort of. It's lame, but hey, it's exciting just the same.
Another thing that is exciting is How I Met Your Mother on PLAY.

TGIF.
I'm so glad it's Friday.
Today I had to write my English exam. I was there from 9:30 to 12:05. I think that's the longest I've ever stayed at an exam, ever. I'm particularly proud of my essay, as I put awesome allusions throughout it. I just hope it doesn't result in marks being docked.
TRUE STORY.
I bought Princess in Waiting, CONGO and Fourth Comings today. I mean, Princess in Waiting and Fourth Comings were in like PERFECT CONDITION, it would've been a SHAME not to buy them. I also didn't even have Princess in Waiting before, so I enjoyed finding it. There's always something so special about this. I was like "MEG CABOT!?" And kind of had a happy dance.
It was very exciting.
I didn't, however, find the Harry Potter books I was looking for. It was rather disappointing in that aspect.
I just read this FML and it made me laugh: Today, my girlfriend broke up with me, all because whenever I laugh I say "lol." FML
Have you ever said 'lol' instead of laughing? I'm guilty for it. I can't lie about that.
But I CAN lie about other things.

Stuff
I wasn't able to mail the package that I wanted to mail today. I had it with me in my bag (along with my lunch) but I wasn't actually able to mail it. Damn you, post office not being where I was! *shakes fist* I did however get Chinese food! The place my mom and I were supposed to go to wasn't open today (epic fail) so we went to this other place. It wasn't that bad (I had TWO kinds of ice cream) and kind of yummy. But I still would've liked to go to the first place. Their food actually has flava.
So yeah. The stuff I was planning on mailing now smells like my lunch, sort of. It was just a cheese bun thing, so it's not bad, but it's not like NEW STUFF SMELL.
I don't know.
My teacher didn't accept my health care assignment, because it's incomplete. Aka: Not acceptable. WHOAH DUDE, partial marks! I guess he doesn't believe in it? There goes 10% of my final mark... Stupid wench. I wouldn't be complaining about this, but I actually NEED those marks. Let's just say health care is NOT my best class.
My best class? Business!
WHOOTCHA!
Yeah.
Speaking of health care, my EXAM was today. There were some stuff on there that I didn't even KNOW. So when I was going through it at the end, I was all "...". Man, that was a fail. I had to DRAW and LABEL a heart. I drew a heart with an arrow pointing to it saying "this is vital to life". Yeah, no joke.
As this is the teacher who wouldn't even give out partial marks, I'm sure he'll SERIOUSLY LOVE IT.
Yeah.
So today I watched a bunch of vlogbrother videos, and they made me smile. I also downloaded a bunch of podcasts, so that'll be fun to listen to those later. I always get such a silly smile on my face when I'm listening to them. But it seems that a lot of people do. Or is that just my American Twin and I?
Well, I've been neglecting the internet for awhile (beyond this blog) so once I'm done with exams, BELIEVE ME! It'll be INTERNET FUN TIME FOR POSSUM!
You can't deny that.

Plans for TOMORROW
I'm watching Criminal Minds right now, and whoah! Well, it's on a commercial as of the moment, but you get what I mean. It's about these two teenagers who were all "I shall commit sucicide" and I'm pretty sure they recorded themselves doing it. Because you know, that IS the thing to do.
I'm being so sarcastic right now, it's amazing.
Tomorrow I've got a health care exam. The thing about this exam is that I am not confident about it. I'm at the point that I'm just hoping I get a passing mark on it. I don't even know why I took this class in the first place, it's like ... I don't know the systems of the body! I can't name the stuff in the heart; I KNOW I'm not going to do well on it. You can say that I'm nervous.
But tomorrow I think my mom and I are going out for lunch, Chinese food style (yum). I'm maybe even mailing a package to my American Twin. I'm so excited for her to be able to see what I got her! It's nothing AMAZING, but it's still exciting. Yes. I love mailing things to people! Especially SPECIAL people, ala twins.
She isn't my real twin, by the way.
But I guess I should end this now--the commercial is over (like a few moments ago).

Hotel for Dogs (that are stupid)
The classic "there's more on the back" happened to me today. Actually it just happened about five minutes ago. You see, on occasion my mom will leave a note on my computer listing the chores I have to do. Or even a special announcement type thing she cannot tell me as she isn't home when I get home. I don't mind them--I actually enjoy them.
It's not like she's asking me to do something beyond my required chores, anyways. But today, she just told me to put some clothes in the dryer (which I did) and that was that. But later she phoned me and asks if I did my cat's litter box. I said no, surprised. I don't know why I was surprised--it's not like it's something NEW. But anyways. I just thought it was weird she asked me when it wasn't on the note.
It was on the note. When I just came on the computer to sit down to write this entry, I saw an ARROW pointing to the back of the paper. -legasp- So yeah, I had to do that.
But anyways.
This evening I watched two and a half episodes of Friends (The One Where the Stripper Cries / The One with Phoebe's Wedding / The One Where Chandler Gets Caught) and Hotel for Dogs. With Hotel for Dogs, there was a time where I attempted to watch the movie, but just shut it off. Why? I just wasn't in the mood for it.
But when I was watching Lisa Kudrow in Friends, I realized it wouldn't be such a bad movie to watch.
It got me rather angry.
This may be because I'm not so much a dog person, or even because I'm in a bad mood, but oh my god. Yeah it was sad when the dogs were taken away, but I just left like it was their own fault. Yes, I blamed the dogs. I just didn't feel it.
Speaking of what kind of animal person I am, for the record, I am a cat person. Not just that, but my OWN cats. I don't like my friend's cats, or anyone else's. Just my own. Call me biased, but this is the truth. Only Cosine and Willow hold my heart.
But more on my heart later.

Happy Times
All I can do is gasp. I just lost the blog entry I was working on. Here's what I'm going to say about that: NOT COOL.
I'll try to start again...
This afternoon I wasn't in the best mood. From staying up late doing homework (yeah...) to having to get up early for the reason of said homework, I was tired. And when I'm tired, I get cranky. Plus it just doesn't help I'm a moody person at times. So when I went to write today's blog entry, I realized I had a new comment from my survey blog entry last night.
I so wasn't expecting a comment. But bam, I had one. So thank you, Karen Denise for commenting on my blog entry. And not just that, but for picking me as one of many blogs that make you happy. I never actually knew this!
So it'd be an understatement to say I was surprised. But the thing was, it made my evening. And another thing that is making my evening is that I am going to make a list of 10 Things That Make Me Happy.
Just for fun. ^__^
1. Getting things from the library. There's something about going to the library, picking up a bunch of things, and having the opportunity to take them home, free of charge. It's an amazing concept! And I'm so happy for it. As my parents like to put it: "We can't afford your reading habit." So I'm grateful for the library.
2. Comedy shows on television. I love laughing. And when there is something specifically on tv that is supposed to make you laugh? It's like MADE for people like me. It can either be stand up, or a sitcom, but if it's good, I'm going to love it. It makes me seriously happy.
3. Friday nights. Not because it's "party time" but because it's a time that I can just relax. Without the thought of 'there is school tomorrow' in the back of my head, or anything like that, it's nice. It's my favorite day of the week. Plus it's just got so much potential. And potential makes me happy.
4. New blog entries from blogs I enjoy. Do I even need to say anymore?
5. Receiving something in the mail. It can be something from a penpal, to a parcel from my American Twin, but it's amazing. I also seriously enjoy responding to said mail.
6. Talking to interesting people. It's always interesting, no matter what. I don't like when these conversations end.
7. Watching a good movie. It's just so ... nice.
8. Reading a good book. There's nothing quite like reading a good book. I just hate when it comes to an end.
9. Sitting with my cats. It's relaxing. Here is two cats that actually like me enough to sit with me while I'm reading, sleeping or just relaxing. It's like they were made just for me.
10. Eating good food. Uh, yummy times!
Some of them are self explantory. But with number two, it's the reason why I have to go. As there is a comedy show on tv, and I would love to watch it!

Just something to waste time (more than expected, actually.)
Here is a survey! Please enjoy, as I'm sure I'll be excited to do it. Now, here it goes!
do you think someone is thinking about you?
Beyond the person I'm talking to on messenger, I doubt it.
do you think someone is falling in love with you?
No, I do not. If this is the case, I'd be honestly surprised.
so, you have brown eyes?
I do, actually. Dark brown, actually.
do you think your past mistakes made you into a better person?
I don't think my past mistakes were that big to change me as a person.
you and your boyfriend/girlfriend break up, do you automatically look for someone new?
No. Unless I was really wanting a rebound. But I think I'd be too hurt.
when was the last time you saw someone really attractive?
In real life or on television? The tv option, I'd say the cast of How I Met Your Mother.! (I can't even remember irl.)
is there anyone who doesn't like you because of something you did?
I'm sure there is.
angry at anyone?
No. I'm rather peachy.
are you happy with life right now?
Well, nothing bad is happening. It's just the level of stress that comes at this time of year.
ever done your makeup in class?
No. Although this question reminds me of my debate last week.
what is your relationship status?
Single.
were you sad at all this week?
I can't really remember. I don't think so, no.
have you held hands with anyone today?
No, I haven't.

Has a boy/ girl put their arm around you in the past five days?
Yes, actually.
What are you gonna do today?
Today being Monday, work on school work.
Has anybody ever told you that you have pretty eyes?
I think, yes.
--
Well, wasn't that long? YES. But there you have it, a survey.
I hope approval comes
Hm, essay time. I'm writing on a topic that my teacher didn't even approve of, so I hope he'll acccept it. The essay, I mean.
If not, ugh... Bye bye credit?
Oh no!
It's on Harry Potter, however. The effect it's had, I guess. I haven't really given it much thought. Fail of a situation, I do believe. But I guess I better get writing.

My day - highlights
Today I went for a walk, realized I dislike my voice, watched a few episodes of How I Met Your Mother, had some chicken parmesan, played "Would You Rather", had a campfire/making video sesson and all around didn't really do anything out of the ordinary.
It was a rather uneventful "I don't want Sunday to come" kind of day. Nice.
I did however laugh at the videos I made, on parts of How I Met Your Mother, and of course, some of the situations and "what if" stuff that came out of Would You Rather.
Yeah.
I had an idea of doing a "day in the life" kind of deal for this blog. I'd make it an AVERAGE day (i.e: school day) where it's just normal routine. I mean, I can't have something EXCITING happen that'll give you the impression that's how my life is ALL THE TIME.
That'd be something!
A something that'll come into reality on Wednesday, perhaps.

It's happened
It's Friday again.
Indeed, I enjoy pointing out the obvious. As much as I'm glad it's Friday, I won't truly be relieved until next NEXT Tuesday. As in, the last week of January. Which is the end of first semester, so that's nice to know. I just hope I pass all my classes with reasonable marks!
Speaking of passing, today I did the written portion of the CPR/First Aid test. Which my teacher was happy to inform me that I passed it. So now all I have to do is the practical, so that'll be good. I just hope I pass that! If I do, I'll be able to say "I CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE!" Well, to a degree of course.
Yeah.
So this weekend... It's just got the IDEA of homework. That's not to say I'll actually do it. I'll wait until Sunday evening, when I'm too tired, and put it off until Monday morning. I'm such a horrible procrastinator! Not even that, I give the name of procrastination a bad rep.
Suuuuuuukkkkkkkky.
I missed 11:11 today. I make a wish at 11:11 when I notice it. It makes me feel special!
But speaking of special, today I watched my first vlogbrothers video. To say the least, it was EXCITING! It wasn't even the first video ever, either. It was just a random one, but STILL. Yay for the wifi in the mall/at my aunt's house! =D I must've looked kind of crazy though, as I had this huge grin on my face the entire time.
But hey, like that matters.

Customer Service Survey
I like how receipts will tell you about a customer survey you can complete, and have the potential chance of winning a contest. From iPods to money, you can win about anything! Like from Metro, a grocery store. Just now, on the receipt, it says that you can "win groceries for a month". Now, if I was that person that won that particular thing, I'd be like "! I'm gonna buy SO MUCH COOL STUFF". And when I say cool stuff, I mean popsicles.
But the prize is beside the point. The stupid thing about these customer surveys is that the surveys are just bad. From the way the question are worded, to the questions they're asking. It's just one big ball of frustration. Maybe it's just that my parents give me the receipts, and expect me to fill them out. But the thing is, whoah, I didn't do the store experience. So I'm pretty much just messing up their results. And when I say their, I mean the store/the man.
It's a complicated thing.
But beyond that, nothing much is happening. I just finished watching 10 Things I Hate About You, and now I shall write a comparison to The Taming of the Shrew. As I haven't even read The Taming of the Shrew, I'm sure this'll be easy.
"What? Heath Ledger is NOT the tamer in the play?!"
My teacher will love it.
Ah the wonders of school. How I dread to experience you tomorrow. But for now, I have to procrastinate on my homework to watch the wonders that is Grey's Anatomy.

(Constructive) Criticism
I recently got a test back that I wrote in history a few days before winter break. I'm not about to talk about my mark (eh) but the comment my student teacher left on my test.
Here it is, as she wrote it:
Wow! You must've been getting tired. Your writing gets less & less formal (& funnier & funnier) as you go.
When I got this comment back, the only thing I could do was laugh. I mean, what else are you supposed to do? I showed it to my pal, and she laughed as well. She actually looked at my final question, and again, what else can you do? LAUGH. My last sentence on the test (and question) was, as follows:
As for when the revolution began and ended, that's important for the start and finish.
You can see what the student teacher meant.
No matter what I'm writing, I'll occasionally slip in some TRUE POSSUM-isms. Like, no joke. I think the ultimate example was when I did an essay* on the stages of parenting (sort of). The assignment was to write a formal essay on parenting, with references. But the thing was, I started so late in the evening the DAY BEFORE THE ESSAY WAS DUE, I just couldn't do it. So what I did was, just write it from me. It so wasn't formal, I'm surprised my teacher just didn't fail me for the entire assignment. She actually put on my report card good effort into the final project. I guess the keyword there is effort but still. I'm just uber surprised she didn't dock marks from my final assessment in general.
But for your reading pleasure, I present to you, my project!
Parents and Childrearing
The part in the lifecycle when you become a parent is a big step, and an important part of it. Ever since the beginning of humans, there was procreation. But raising a child was not always for love and affection, but for convenience and a way to just survive personally. Now that times have changed, you have to look back to see the transformation.
In the past, you would have as much children as possible, even if you couldn’t afford to care for them, or even love and get attached to them, because you needed them there for convenience to either feed yourself and have the luck of the farm on your side, or so your bloodline will live on. Due to the death of children due to the lack of hospital care, children were often dying left right and center, and this put a damper on such things as love.
Today though, love and affection (and a need for parenting) is making wannabe parents crave for that kind of unconditional love. Couples and single people are going to the end of the world to achieve this, and you have to wonder why. After the traditional wedding, it’s expected by society for that couple to have children, even if you told your family and friends that would not happen. It seems today people are just holding that right to everyone that it needs to happen.
Although to make an assumption of everyone is wrong, and you have to look at every person uniquely. Some people just assume that in their life, they will find their soul mate, marry said person, and mate until a child comes along. But for some, in this ideal world, they don’t think they would be able to have a child. To them, this is the probably the worst news they could ever hear (until of course, there is hope in adoption and technology).
Some psychology and social characteristics of a person during this life stage in the circle (cycle, I mean) of life is probably hope or even in some cases, dread. Some people do not want a child (blasphemy, I know!) and finding out they are having one can cause a big set of problems ranging from physical and emotional stuff that are quite hard to handle. Maybe this is due to not ever planning on having children, or kind of not even being in the right part of the life cycle, this could lead to problems. BUT, for the most part, wanting-to-be-expecting parents are nervous, happy, and waiting for the stork to make a visit! But to some… it might be that they hope the Petri dish was clean. (-le gasp!- Hopefully it was…).
Some tasks during the parenting part of the life cycle are conceiving. And if you’re one of those wanting a nuclear family people, marriage would also be a step in the right direction. Remember, sometimes on that oh so lucky night after, you might even be making your BABY!
But, as for myself thinking theories is for chumps, and cold hard facts is the way to go, I will have to ignore that requisite and move on. (Please, do not fail me!).
Okay, so you’ve finally got the news: YOU’RE HAVING A BABY! What do you do? Tell your partner that you’re receiving a bundle of joy (if you’re happy, of course, which I will expect you to be. MIRACLE OF LIFE and all!) And that you’re got the entire baby stuff (including the stroller and pacifiers and the bottles and the … well you see what I mean!), and of course, this child arriving, you are now a proud parent! What comes when entering the new (maybe?) world or parenting is a bunch of synonyms I can go on about, but I’ll stick with happy to keep it short, but what comes with this is stress, and a need for adjustment!
The baby is crying, your husband isn’t home on time, and you just want to sleep so bad… What do you do? You adjust! Woman, this is your life now! This isn’t a fictional novel where the ‘baby’ sleeps; you play some footsie with your husband while making a beautiful dinner; and then relax to a new movie you wanted to see for a week! Even though I’ve never experienced the wonders of parenthood personally, from what I read in some real life situations: It isn’t some lifetime movie (although some are really good), it’s real life!
You’re always tired, the baby, the wonder of joy you waited 9 months for to finally arrive (after being so close!), is causing chaos in your life. It’s like you’re an agent of chaos, and your baby is, and your partner, but you need to figure it all out. Don’t worry, after awhile, you will get the hang of it, and it will be good. Until of course, there is that new epic, supersonic toy they want in the future…
Say for instance, you’re planning a party for your child’s first birthday and she decides to get sick. Who does she think she is, being able to get sick?! IT’S LIKE SHE IS OUT TO GET YOU! But, being a good mother, you take her to the doctors, realizing it’s nothing major, so you decide to hold the party anyways. I advise you to stop right now and evaluate this situation. Stop, listen and evaluate! It’s simple procedure. You’re child is sick. SICK! It isn’t cancer, but it’s a semi small cold! This is what you do: You hold off the party until she is better, and will bare the necessities (oh the bear...) of being held and kissed by strangers. I mean, there is only enough a baby can handle! Which you will also be glad to be able to relax a little. Planning a baby party is hard work! Hold off what you can do tomorrow. Not everything is urgent. Seriously. The procrastinators are alive today to tell you this.
So the cost of your little bundle of joy has shot through the roof! Who would’ve known raising a little baby boy to the age of 18 will cost you $155 611 while a girl is $154 993! That’s a crazy amount! Imagine what YOU could’ve bought with all that money at the age of 18. Your mind would’ve exploded with the possibilities. But, you’re a parent now, and you’re faced with that reality of that amount of money. You’re blown away. And that’s not even counting your ability to be a “cool” parent, buying them whatever they wish, letting them do stuff extra… What do you do? You save. Saving money is an important thing to do when you have children. And relax. This is over 18 years. Just think: It’s not like they’re hounding you straight up for it all as soon as the child is born. They’re not credit card companies! “WE WILL TAKE THE BABY AWAY AND PUT YOU IN DEBT!” <<>

Isn't that just lovely? That was my rough copy that I had on my email, so I apologize for any errors.
So today I had a debate meet. As I love to argue points, but I fail at speaking without being nervous, it's a wonder why I joined the debate club in general. I mean, really. And the feedback I got back reflects my worries. I was nervous, and the judge said I shouldn't be. I mean, I had great points, so why should I? Because I'm talking in front of people I don't even know.
Seriously.
But it's nice to get feedback in general. It helps, y'know?

The title is a 'ditto' from yesterday
I wasn't able to watch Desperate Housewives last night. As much as I would've liked to, there was a comedy special on--Queer as Jokes--so it wasn't that bad. I like comedy specials, so that was tres cool. The topic wasn't the best, but I still found it amusing.
Nothing really amazing happened today. As of this moment, I'm going to apply to a psychology, sociology and social work program. I mean, they're three separate programs, but it still works. I just have to wait for my mother to come home, so I can use her credit card. Oh the joys! I also have to confirm that I'm actually able to apply to Algoma U. As much as I love my parents, they're not really giving me a straight up answer on where I'm (not even) allowed to go to school.
But speaking of comedy programs WAY UP THERE (*eyeroll*), there is one on right now! How excccccciiiiiiting!

They just get shorter and shorter
The iPod touch I got for Christmas, I was finally able to upload stuff on it today. That was kind of exciting, but overall out of the 600+ songs I have on it, I only really know about 100. How does that work? Well, I used my cousin's computer, and while I was loading some of my cd's I own on their itunes, I didn't have loads of cd's. So that's exciting I guess... I guess this is the time to expand my musical pool of listening!
Yes, it's very exciting.
So it's another week back at school. There is now about seven days left of the semester. It's kind of intense. I just hope I'll be able to finish all my work in time, so I can get some CREDITS. True true.
Okay so tonight I'm going to watch 18 to Life, and an episode of Desperate Housewives. I mean, I think I'm going to be doing this. As much as I like plans, sometimes they don't work out too well.
How this is too true.
Well, it's 8PM!

Hey, a book!
I finished watching Heroes this morning. I ididn't finish the last five episodes as planned (I got tired) but I didn't really mind. It was kind of nice, actually. I just got up way too early to actually watch said tv: 8:23AM.
As for the hippo I bought this week, I finally came up with a name for him: Sylar. At first I was going to name him Mohinder (as I lourve him) or even Hiro, but I'm oddly fascinated by Sylar. Plus when I was looking at the cover for the movie Star Trek, I saw him, so I just totally saw that as a sign. Ha, I try to reason for naming my hippo on a deranged power hungry serial killer.
Okay, so!
I just finished reading Geektastic: Stories from the Nerd Herd. It's one of my books for the 10-10-10 challenge that I took for one of my resolutions. It'll be from the 'anthology' category, so yay. Only 99 more books to go! I just hope the following books will be completed faster. As for the book, I very much enjoyed it. It just made me realize that as much as I like to think of myself as a geek at times, I don't really follow rules with it all, as I don't play an instrument, nor do I play video games. I'm not even on a crew! I'm just a floating geek. How-how-how sad. I need to find my niche!
True story. But when it happens, it'll be tres awesome. Amirite?

National Geographic
Okay so I lied--there isn't any proper blog entry tonight. I mean in the sense of a topic that I've got an opinion on. As much as I do have opinions on things in life, I don't really have any incentive to share them with you as of the current moment.
But don't worry, it'll happen.
Beside me I have anold issue of National Geographic. It's dated January 2010 and it's odd to see such a current date on it. I mean, when I think of National Geographic, I think of old issues I use for school projects, or from what I find in my house somewhere. Interesting. I don't even really give much thought to National Geographic in general, beyond the fact I want a copy of their world maps for my bedroom wall. I used to have one, but it was so old, it had the Soviet Union on it. Nunavut didn't even exist yet--the name, that is.
But beyond the yellow border magazine, I've got beside me a postcard from Algoma U. It's a few days old I suspect, but it says the same message the last few postcards and letters have said: You'll Love It Here. Yes, I'm sure I would love it there. But the thing is I don't even think I'll get accepted into that school. As much as I would love to go there, I don't think I'll get in. But what the hell, I'm going to give it a try. And why not? The worst they can do is denying me from the three programs I'm applying to. What three programs? I don't even know. I'm just determined to try and go there.
Plus of course, my five backup colleges.
Lovely stuff, ain't it? So is Heroes. Only five more episodes and I'm done season one. I'm very much determined to be done tonight.

The weekend
I'm incredibly glad it's Friday night.
It's been a relatively fast week, but still full of work. Therfore I'm glad it's Friday. TGIF, in other words.
What can I say about my weekend plans? Well, for one, it's going to be full of homework. And of course, Heroes. The show is just so good, I kind of kick myself for not watching it over winter break. Another thing I'm going to be doing this weekend is sleeping. God, sleep. You don't know how lovely it is until you're tired. I guess it's true when people say you never get tired of it. (Ha ha.)
With homework and sleep aside, I hope this weekend is good. I think it'll be. But I'm going to end this and get back to finishing the episode I'm currently on. Yes, I put it on pause so after the episode, I can go straight to bed. As much as I like my writing time, writing time takes a bit of time. (Who would've thunk?)
But tomorrow I'll write a proper blog entry.

P.S: I like when Jack Black says "macaroons" in The Holiday.

A confession
Here I am again.
Today I did something that I didn't want to do. I guess I should say that when I have a problem, I will ignore it until I reach the point that I come to the conclusion that I should've just faced it head on at the start. This happens all the time--until today.
I skipped my English class yesterday. Why? I wasn't ready to present my final presentation, and instead of talking to my teacher, I just didn't go. A stupid decision on my part, but I did it just the same. Well, today instead of skipping, I just went. It was hard, I'm going to admit. Every step I took to my class, it was like a big dread in my chest. By the time I got into the class, I felt like crying.
However, it wasn't that bad. I just talked with her, with the suggestion of staying after class to talk with her. And so I did.
She's giving me the chance to present tomorrow for her at lunch.
Why am I so stupid sometimes? SIGH.
But something that isn't stupid (and totally not related): Heroes! I started watching the first season today after school, and whoah, its cool! I love how everything is related. I mean, it IS going to be related because it's the same tv show, but still. It just blows my mind how amazing it is. I hope it stays like this. I don't even know.
I'm off to finish my powerpoint.

Of Being Tired and Cold
tOn Monday, I went back to school after two relaxing weeks of winter break. During that time, my days and nights were reversed. It was a hard transition to go back to my regular day, so I guess it'd be an understatement to say I'm a little bit tired right now.
Yes, even after three days of being back to my regular routine, I am still tired. And I feel lazy and ill. It doesn't help that I cannot stay home tomorrow, even if I wanted to. Sure, season one of Heroes calls for me to stay home, but I seriously can't. With only 10 more days left of this semester (yay), it's vital for me to have.... Shall we say, perfect attendance.
Plus it's just so cold! Usually I'm able to handle the winter (at least in my memory) but this year it's just like the cold is going through me. And that's not good. Perhaps it's got something to do with me just feeling under the weather, but still, it's lame.
God, I hate winter right now. Too bad there is MONTHS left of it. Damn you, cold!

Words from the Glamorous Liar
I don't know where I'm going to take this blog. I mean, I know I'm going to be blogging daily. But the big question is, about what? Most blogs I've read have a central theme on what they actually write about. From talking about their experiences in life, to the books they read, it's all got something connected. As for me, The Slightly Exaggerated Life of a Glamorous Liar doesn't have much of a plan or a theme: it's just words.
I'm just wondering on how much I should put into each individual entry. I'm not talking about length, but just about information. Since this blog is mainly about me, the Glamorous Liar, it'll be about stuff that I find important. The problem here being I don't know what I should share. With the 12 months left full of blogging, I'm just going to include everything. From my homework woes, to a list of my favorite movies, it'll be here.
I just hope you'll be here to read about it all.
Speaking of which, you. I don't know who 'you' are. Some people say they blog for themselves, and the people that do read their blogs, it's just a special sauce kind of deal. I don't know if I'm the same way. I like knowing I have someone reading this, so I know who I'm writing to. It might just be my personal preference, but it's how I roll. How are you, in the way of blogging for an audience? Or it might be in your case, no audience.
Whatever the case, I'll be back tomorrow. Audience or not, I've got a resolution to keep.

Plushy Stuffed Hippo: I boughts it.
Today I went to The Real Canadian Superstore, in hopes of killing time while my dad and I waited for my mom to be done work. I had nothing specific in mind when I entered the store, except maybe find a good book on sale. I didn't, but hey, it isn't a bookstore!
Beyond the lack of good books, I wouldn't really complain about the service. I actually thought it was incredibly cool when the cashier explained how to open the pomegranate I was purchasing. So that kind of upped the rating of my visit. With that being said, there was something that ruined my experience to the store a bit: a fellow costumer.
So this is what happened: When I politely asked a woman to move her shopping cart over just a bit, as she was blocking the aisle, she said "why don't you move?" I found myself become flustered, so I just kind of walked away quickly. I was shocked at this, because who says that to someone? Yeah, she might've been having a bad day, but still.
Shopping sure does give you an experience to other people. Unless of course, you're into the online shopping scene. And if that's the case? WHOAH-OAH.

They all have something in common
There are shows on tv that are my absolute favorite. I mean, if I were to miss an episode, I'd be sad. It's actually come to the point that if I were to miss the story of some characters, It would actually have an effect on my emotions. Obsessed? Perhaps. But at the same time, there are some shows on tv that are lame. Not just lame with the storylines, but the characters are stupid. I'm not going to blog about those shows. I'm going to blog about characters on a show that I do like (usually). Here they are, as follows: (In no particular order, by the way.)
Sure, she's the "cute" daughter for the majority of watchers, but I always found the other sisters more likeable. I don't find her cute, but more so annoying. Even when re-watching an episode this morning with my mom, she had to point out that Michelle is a "very annoying daughter". I couldn't agree more.
3. Michael Mancini, Melrose Place
Yes, there probably are more characters that make me angry, as I do like to watch tv, but at the moment, nothing else comes to mind. Perhaps through this year, there will be a second part. Knowing the shows on tv today (with their characters) this will turn out to be true.
1. Michelle Tanner, Full House
Sure, she's the "cute" daughter for the majority of watchers, but I always found the other sisters more likeable. I don't find her cute, but more so annoying. Even when re-watching an episode this morning with my mom, she had to point out that Michelle is a "very annoying daughter". I couldn't agree more.Even when she's older, she's still annoying. Oh how you don't woe my heart, Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen.
The moment I decided I didn't like Michelle was when she'd do stupid things to get a laugh. I know, I know, Full House is a sitcom, but that's not an excuse for a stupid character. Friends is a sitcom, and there are six likeable characters there.
2. Emma Nelson, Degrassi: The Next Generation
Not only do I hate the storylines involving Emma, but whenever there is a storyline on Emma, I feel like stabbing myself so I don't have to watch her anymore. A little dramatic sure, but it's the truth. I hate how she acts, I hate her morals, and I really hate how she looks. It's not that I'm jealous of her, but she just does such stupid stuff, I can't believe it's actually on tv.
I know I should be glad she's there, because she's pretty much the reason why it's "the next generation" but I'm not. I'd rather have no Emma time, than time with Emma on tv.
The moment I started to dislike Emma would be the very first episode of the show. I guess I find her problem of meeting strange guys on the internet alone in hotel rooms kind of lame.
3. Michael Mancini, Melrose Place
Sure, at first glance, Dr. Michael Mancini seems like the perfect husband/character, but beyond that little charade, lies a stupid man. First off, he cheats on his wife. Secondly, he has the nerve to lie about it! Even after he's found cheating, he promises it won't happen again, but it does. I blame Michael for my hatred for cheaters. Before I just had an opinion of them being lame, but after him, I couldn't stand anyone who dares cheat in a relationship.
While I like to stab myself with Emma, with Michael, when I was watching Melrose Place, I wanted to rip off my arm, so I could have something to throw at him. He ruined the show for me; I can't watch it.
Yes, there probably are more characters that make me angry, as I do like to watch tv, but at the moment, nothing else comes to mind. Perhaps through this year, there will be a second part. Knowing the shows on tv today (with their characters) this will turn out to be true.
So there you have it: The characters that make my blood boil. A little dramatic sure, but it is show biz.

Movie Habits
You know when you're trying to figure out what movie to watch, and nothing seems right? Sure, Gone with the Wind is one of your top five favorite movies, but is it something you really want to watch instead of say, Cars?
Picking a movie to watch is something of a time consuming event for me. I'm not talking hours, but probably eight more minutes longer than it normally should. Am I alone in this? I'll just stand there, weighing the option of each movie I see, wondering. I have a tendency to only like the beginning of movies, so it's hard to find an entire movie that fits my mood, at that exact moment. Sure, Free Willy was great last night, but would I really want it again tonight? No, I wouldn't.
A tip I learned is that an easy way to figure out what movie to watch is either watch some previews, or even watch a movie that'll give you an epiphany on what movie to watch next. (For example: Last night I was watching Free Willy, and I had a sudden thought of watching Legally Blonde.)
Another phenomenon that seems to happen a lot in my life is that the movie I TRULY wants to watch, I don't even own it. "If I had [insert movie title], I'd watch it all the time!"* Even when I say that, I know it isn't true. I'll watch it once, maybe twice, and move on.
I actually own a bunch of movies I've never seen, yet I won't even watch them. Why? A majority of them are based on books, and I want to read the books before I watch the movie. This has nothing to do with my ability to be finicky
Yes, there's always some sort of reasoning behind everything.
With that being said, there are a few 'stand by' movies that I'll watch, even though I'm not particularly in the mood for them (and still enjoy it).

- The 10th Kingdom (This is actually big in my house) (Also not technically a movie, but plays like one just the same)
So I guess it's the longer movies that I don't actually have to get up and change an hour later. Good to know, I guess. I think now it's time to go watch The 10th Kingdom...

Ground Rules on TWO Resolutions + Contests
I've got a lot of resolutions for myself this year. I mean, I'm man* enough to admit that. But when I came across this contest, I had to pick my top two. Which I did: Read two books a month and blog daily. However, with my blog daily challenge resolution, I put a clause: two excuse days a month.
I should've put some ground rules down before I signed myself up for this scheme of awesome, but I didn't. So I am right now. I guess it's true when people say it's better late than never!:
* I'm not actually a man.
** "Something" will be decided on later
P.S: My other resolutions are still in place!
I should've put some ground rules down before I signed myself up for this scheme of awesome, but I didn't. So I am right now. I guess it's true when people say it's better late than never!:
- Blog daily. The blogs don't have to be masterpieces or a certain length. As long as there's SOME content in there, it's acceptable.
- If, for whatever reason (i.e.: unable to get time on the computer) that I cannot blog on a certain day, I get a reprieve.
However with that being said, I can't take advantage of this. That's why I only get two excuse days a month, with the understanding that I can't 'stockpile' them for a later date. - If I don't blog for three (or more) days a month, I have to make up for it by doing something**
- I will have fun. This will not turn into a resolution that will make me lose sleep and/or hair.
That sounds reasonable. I like that I get two excuse days. I promise I won't use them unless I honestly truly need to.
Okay so moving on to my other goal: reading two new books a month. I think I found a good challenge for this! I literally just came across the 10-10-10 Reading Challenge. I think this'll work for me! The rules are, as followed:
- Choose 10 different categories or genres
- Start reading books from these categories, with a goal of reading 10 books of each by 10/10/10. (Which for anyone who doesn't know, is October 10th, 2010.)
- Catalog your progress by emailing 101010reading@gmail.com (The people putting this on will add your categories/genres and books you've read as they receive them.)
I think the categories/genres that I'm going to read are as follows:
- YA novels that are about realistic teenagers (i.e: Sarah Dessen, John Green)
- Fantasy novels (can be YA)
- Mystery/Thriller
- Romance (The cheesy ones for $4.99 at Zellers is an acceptable read!)
- Chick lit
- (Auto)biographies
- Completely new authors that I've (never) heard of
- Classics (So perhaps something like Jane Austen.)
- Anthologies
- Humor books (i.e., books by George Carlin, Rick Mercer, etc.)
- THREE books out of each category must be considered "regular fiction"
I think that'll do for now. I think by the end of the week (next week, I mean), I will reevaluate some of my resolutions. Oh yes, the doubt is already starting to creep up. Nice.
But I'd like to say on a random note that I picked this particular background/layout because of Shelly Quade. Ha, I wonder if that'll creep her out.
- Possum* I'm not actually a man.
** "Something" will be decided on later
P.S: My other resolutions are still in place!
New Year, New Blog
It's a typical thing around this time of year (go 2010) for people to make some resolutions on how they'll change. From losing weight, reading more classics, to finding even more ways to be awesome, it's a challenge to keep up with all these worldly self-improvement behaviors. I don't have the statistics to move you on how much someone fails at these things, but I bet it's moderately high.
But what do I know? I've just got the personal experience from not achieving my goals for 2009. Which by the way, included getting my G1, a job, and having my ears pierced. Yes, I couldn't even handle going to the mall and getting some holes in my ears. Not even second holes, but your basic first holes. The kind that you see babies getting. Sigh.
With that being said, I could say that not driving is good for the environment, the job (or lack thereof) lets me have more time for my studies (...) and holes in my ears? Am I crazy?!
There is reasoning for everything.
However, this being the first day of 2010, I've got some new resolutions. Yeah, I'm still going to have my 2009 resolutions, but I'm also adding to it:
Yes, exciting.
Well, January 1st, you're done for the day.

- Find quotes that inspire, make me laugh, have an awesome quota, and record them somewhere
- Expand my music education, starting with buying some cd's from DFTBA records
- Watch ALL of the vlogbrothers videos (2007-present)
- Stop procrastinating on recreational things (i.e. replying to letters)
- Learn to play some tunes on the ukulele
- Read at least two new books a month & record the books I do read (both old & new)
- Make new friends both online and irl
- Losing weight
- Reading classics and,
- Finding more ways to be awesome
And then there is the resolution that'll have an effect right here:
- Blog daily
Yes, exciting.
