Work work work work! (and it's not even April!)

I'm stressing out over a ROUGH OUTLINE for an essay I have to write. Not a draft, but an outline.

So lame. So I'm going to write this quick, and put in 10 minutes for each point. I think that'll be enough. I mean, it's not this is my GOOD copy or anything.

Yeah. So today it was WARM out! Like 20'C nice! It was pretty amazing, believe me. There was still a breeze, so that made it nice. But when there wasn't any air coming at'cha, it was like "SUMMER IS HERE?!" It sucks because I think this weekend it's supposed to be really sucky, weather wise.

REAL WISE, it'll be cool because I'll be working on a script and off from school! =D I mean, I AM off from school on the weekend, but on Friday and Monday, no school! I never even knew Monday was an odd day to have off, but hey, I've got it off. It's cool. xD

Plus the following Thursday, I don't have any morning classes because of the good ol' literacy testing for grade ten students. Yay! That's nice, I think. Yeah.

AND ON THAT FOLLOWING MONDAY*, I've got a pizza party for my debate team! I even saw my teacher-supervisor on the CITY BUS today. Man, that was random. I was all "hey!" and she was all "hello" in her french accent. It was pretty exciting. Ha. So we discussed my plans for next year across from each other. Oh yeah, I was the annoying person on the bus who talked to someone else that wasn't even located close.

It works.

Here's a tweet that didn't make it to my twitter:

I made the detrimental decision to turn on my ipod when I got to my room last night.

Instead of sleeping, I listened to a MuggleCast podcast. Curses! Why can't I just have the willpower to GO TO SLEEP? Even now, I don't have the willpower to get to work. I just want to GET IT DONE, so I can hand it in tomorrow.

Gah-law. If I'm not done by 10PM, I am going to SHANK MYSELF.

Shank being described as "hit[ting] someone with a homemade knife" (Urbandictionary.com).

Does that sound pleasant? No. So I better get'erdone.

Yes!

* Date pending. One of my team members came up to me today before I left school to ask "when aren't you busy?" so yeap!

I want an orange, nao.

I saw Shutter Island this evening. I feel I have to read the book to get the full experience. I wasn't surprised at the ending, but at the same time, I feel like I need more information on the events that happened.

True. I like to read up on stuff that I just read/saw. That's why I like wikipedia so much.

Yeah, when I finish a book, I will shimmy into the wiki, to read about it.

THAT ISN'T A LIE!

A habit of Possum you now know!

I organized the self-help section at coop today. Oh wow, there is a LOT of "lose weight, now!" books. I'm all "..." because I had to ORGANIZE all of them. There was like a million "Zone" books. It was kind of frustrating, because I was running out of room with all of them being there.

Tres lame, I say.

I want an orange. A nice good orange that I can eat eat eat.

Opposed to just looking at it, I mean.

I've been using the double question marks a lot lately. I don't know why. I really don't.

WHICH REMINDS ME! BEDA SOON! I'm pretty excited for that. I'll be posting on the mj ning and having a jolly good time. I'll still be posting on here, though. Just so you know.

Many things are lame in a cool cool world

Today, I started to laugh. Not because of something amusing that was happening in person, but because of the comments I got from yesterdays blog, in relation to who I like. I applaud both of you. One for being right, and the the other for being completely off base. It still made me laugh though. I ran to my sister when I got home to tell her both of the suggestions. It was just that funny.

So yesh!

I live in my life, fangirlin' it up. For both podcast personalities, AND prime minsters of my country.

Ah!

I can't see this happening. I know it was pretty popular when Trudeau was in office, but for Harper?

No.

I just finished watching Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I fell asleep halfway through (...) so I missed ALL the parts with Lavender and Ron. Curses! That always seems to happen. It's lame. I just CAN'T keep my eyes open when I watch a movie. It's all "I lull you to sleep, Possum" and it's kind of lame. Especially when I'm actually trying to watch something. This only happens when I'm home though: In the theater, I will WATCH!

I cut my finger doing dishes today. I was just putting my hand in for the VERY FIRST TIME (that wash) and BAM! I felt something stab my finger. So now I've got some bandages on, and it's kind of hurting still. That's so lame! There I was, trying to do a good deed, and BAM! CUTS ALL AROUND! (Except not all around.)

I phoned my dad asking to see if I could still do the dishes (... I was trying to get out of it) but I was told to continue forth. "When you put a bandaid on it, does it bleed through?" "I don't THINK so." "You're good to go." LAME! I'd MUCH rather be told to stop, or else I'll die.

Unless it's from something fun!

Yeah.

I had a retest on the brain today. I saw retest because I already took the first one, and wanted to see if I could do better. I couldn't. As much as the handy hints of Leah came into play (THANKS!) it was just TOO MUCH FOR MY BRAIN! Apparently my hippocampus can't retain information past a certain date. I took the test, and it WENT OUT THE DOOR! So that was lame. I was the only one who did the retest, too. Ha, she said the people who SHOULD'VE been there didn't even show up.

Isn't that how it is?

I also realized I've come to the point that when I get a 9/10 on an assignment, I'm disappointed. Seriously. I was all "!" and the girl sitting next to me was like "you're kidding". It's just disappointing when you don't get a 100% on something you thought you were going to get it on. You know?

I did get 100% on that brain assignment I've been working on for the past week. The one I slacked on last Monday? Yes! My teacher made a comment on the side: "You have a very interesting way of putting things. It's entertaining." It made me smile, because the way I talk/write, I do that in WORK, too! It kicks me in the ass during formal times, but whatever. As you could tell from this baby of work. ^_^

The HP movie is starting. "Who's Harry Potter?" "Uh, no one. A bit of a tosser, really." Haha, oh the conversation between Harry and the waitress! xD

I shall continue to sip my apple juice while contemplating my ability to read some books.

Guess... Take a guess!

I can't remember parts of the brain. It just kind of goes over my head, and it's starting to get a little bit annoying. The only part I truly feel comfortable with is the amygdala. Seriously.

There you go. That's exciting? I believe so! It's so very filled with YA, the only thing I can do is kind of smile. TRUE! Because YA is the SHIZ! THE SHIZ, I DECLARE!

I'm going to go to my school library tomorrow and take out a few books. I don't know what, but since I can't really go to my public library at the moment, why not? Exactly. I don't even know if that sentence makes sense, by the way. That's true.

So I got a crush! A few, actually. If you're able to guess WHO, I'll be like, "you're right!!"

Library fines, oh my.

Today is when I turn off my lights and sit in the dark for an hour at 8:30 to 9:30. Why you may ask? While I do have a liking for the dark when I'm attempting to sleep or get away from BRIGHT THINGS THAT MAKE MY HEAD POUND, today is the day of Earth Hour!

It's exciting.

So I've got my candles already set and ready to go. It's also kind of rainy and just 'bleh' outside, so I assume I would need candles anyway. Candles make a relaxed atmosphere, which rain kind of washes away.

Atmosphere being described as "a place is the general impression that you get of it". And if it's relaxing, it'd be an impression of RELAXATION! I don't know I went that far with that particular thought.

I woke up rather late today. I was shocked when I turned my head to my alarm clock thing: 2:33PM! What?! How could I sleep THAT late? I was surprised myself. All I did last night was read articles on Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Dramatica (which took an hour + out of my life), but still. You'd think I wouldn't waste my day away. >.>

I started to work on my essay, with preparations of my arguments like I would preparing for a debate. I don't know why I did this, but I got a lot more work done that I normally would. (I.E: I got my general points made up.) I got distracted by my library card, though. My fines at the moment are $30 dollars. That's ridiculous. Apparently I don't have the ability to return things on time. But I already knew that; common knowledge about Possum is well known to everyone (in my life).

I have to renew my library card. But because I don't even LIVE in the city where I go to school and BUY stuff, I have to PAY a FEE to USE the LIBRARY. That's ridiculous! Well, because I'm eighteen, you're allowed to get a card for free, but before I go about doing that, I have to pay my fines. I hate that. It's too much work. But I mean, it's my fault for not even returning the books on time, so I understand.

I just hate when fines accumulate. It's annoying.

Anyway, one of the features they have on the MY LIBRARY CARD section or whatever, is that you're allowed to see a limited reading history you have. Aka: What books you took out of the library. Looking over mine, I've got a LOT of Meg Cabot books. It's exciting, believe me. I've also got Sarah Dessen, Maureen Johnson, and randomly enough, John Green. I don't even remember reading a John Green novel before BEDA, but apparently I read An Abundance of Katherines. Or at least took it out of the library. Odd! Looking over the first few pages of my copy now, it's familiar. I just remember that I stopped reading it after the first chapter. Ooh, bad. I wonder why, though.

Probably because I had 50 other books to read! (Yes, in my one time take out of 50 books, there is a RECORD of those 50 books.) I was going to show you the list, but I don't know. If you're curious enough, just ask. (I know you probably will, Leah.) So yeah. Libraries are amazing, and I just wish I am able to go to them more often without a worry of money.

Which is ironic, because of the BEST THINGS about libraries is they're normally free.

Consequences of being a procrastinator of returning things, and living outside of city limits.

Curses.

Definitely wouldn't call this a blog entry! RAMBLINGS!

Hello folks.

Today is Friday. Just another one of those TGIF moments, I guess.

I stayed home from school today. I was tired, so when my mom asked if I was going, I said NO! So I went back to bed. It was fun.

Yeah.

True true.

I'm watching Matilda right now. My brother, sister and I were watching Dennis the Menace earlier. The antagonist of the story is TRES CREEPY! Without a doubt in my mind, it was all EW when he came on the screen. An amusing story, though. I laughed.

My sister mentioned they should make a Family Circus movie. I was like "no!" as that would make no sense, seriously. Do you read Family Circus? The circle cartoon?

Yeah.

I don't know.

Hm... I've got a hat on right now. YEAH! It's WHITE! And knitted. True true.

Oh well.

- Possum

Heyheyhey!

I went to school today. My parents were like "stay home!" but I was all "I have to go!" So my mom was all "she's so stubborn just like you," and my dad was all "like me? More like you". Oh how they speak about me like I'm not even there.

So that's fun stuff. Today in school, I learned about some organizations for business related stuff (WTO, etc) and took a note on it. Except I wasn't really paying attention because I was trying to finish my psychology homework from Monday. Damn you, talking in class! (It ALWAYS comes to get you!) So that was interesting enough; I finished.

In psychology, we finished our "introduction on Freud". Except I KNOW about him, so it's nothing new. I guess that's what you get when do a course again...

I did read Cat in the Hat, today! My group had to SEE who was the Id, Superego and Ego. That was fun stuff, believe me. We went around our table reading the book. I have to say, I kept on thinking in rhyme after reading the story.

MHM.

Hey! So in co-op, they cleared off a section of a shelf, and the staff was able to put their recommendations. AND I WAS ABLE TO DO THAT, TOO! The only problem was that there had to be multiple copies of the book we were putting out, and that made a slight problem for ME. So my choices were, as follows:

• Jurassic Park
• The Princess Diaries
• Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

I have to say, Harry Potter was a cop out. I couldn't think of anything else! I mean, HARRY POTTER is awesome, but there is so many other books out there. I was having trouble deciding, I'm going to admit. The funny thing about the whole thing is that all the other books are more Lee Child (I thought of you, Leah) and fantasy-esque novels. And there are mine: PINK COVERS AND ALL!

It's all good.

Today my dad locked the keys in the car! And this guy comes up to us all like "for 2o dollars I'll get them out for you" and I was all "..." That's just essentially PAYING for a car theft to break into your car! He was kind of sketchy, too. We didn't take up his AWESOME offer, though. We phoned my uncle who had a key, so we were able to get in FOR FREE. Which is nice.

OF COURSE.

So I was watching part of a documentary on tv today. It was all Love, Hate and Propaganda. It was pretty interesting, but it was like ! I think the way France was taking over by propaganda from the Nazis was intensely uncool. I mean, the whole WW2 is uncool, but that in particular was LAME. Sheesh.

People. You have to hate them sometimes.

Just some babbling about contemplating the absence of school in my life for tomorrow!

PROs and CONs of staying home tomorrow:

PROs:
I'll be able to sleep.
I won't be in school.
I won't infect anyone else! (As I think of others!)
My supervisor said that I could stay home, if need be.

CONs
I'll be missing school/co-op.
I won't be in school. I don't want to miss anything in my classes.
I'm not even that sick. So shouldn't I keep my "sick days" for when I'm like, incapable of getting out of bed?

So I don't know. It's just a thing in my mind right now. I was allowed to stay home today (something I really wanted to do) but I felt bad about just missing school like that. So I was kind of dead on my feet today. I was tired, too! Like I didn't even go to bed until like... 4AM (Mugglecast, of course) and y'know, that's fun.

It was okay, though. I just had some medicine in me. Aka: Why I was so sluggish. You notice how medicine does that to you?

I'm just kind of trying to convince myself something, so pay no attention to the blog.

Yay! I'm sick when Meg Cabot is sick. I LOVE IT. We have something in common! Awesome, amirite?

Yeah.

Cosine is looking at me right now. Cosine being my cat, of course. Cosine and Willow are getting that "cat look" now. I mean, they obviously looked like cats before, but now they're looking like ACTUAL CATS and not kittens! You know what I mean? I don't know if I even explained that right, but it's cool. I especially notice it when I get home and I see them both sitting on my bed looking at me.

YES! When I got home today, as I was making my bed (I had to get them off my blanket) they stayed! They just sat on my pillow and waited for me to finish. Once I was done that, they went back to their spot. And when I woke up this evening, they were still there.

I slept because I was tired, by the way. When you're sick, you really just want to do that!

But I think I'll be better for tomorrow. True that!

- Possum

Fa-fa-friend.

I fell asleep after school and now I'm not tired.

Seriously.

Considering I didn't even go to bed until late last night, I feel like today will be the exact same, now. Gr! Why do Mugglecast podcasts have to be so awesome, anyway?

(What isn't awesome is listening to the Help Haiti one, and having to hear OTHER Harry Potter podcasts that are horrible. It physically hurt me to listen through one segment/show.)

Speaking of Harry Potter, today my friend came to see me at co-op and it was all "HEY!" I couldn't stop talking to her. Seriously for an hour we were chit chatting and I think my boss was getting a tad frustrated? Yes, exactly. I was still doing my work, albeit quicker to get back to her, but still. I think that was the most he's ever seen me talk.

Among the conversations we had, there was mention of Infinitus, the Harry Potter convention thing-y. We both were getting excited at the prospect of going, but reality always has to hit: School.

Why is school so expensive? If they want people to LEARN, shouldn't they make it CHEAPER? That's obviously the most basic argument one can make about tuition prices, by the way.

So today was fun in that sense. I bought a book for my AMERICAN TWIN, that my boss judged me on! He was all "an autobiography of two housecats... Really?" I felt I needed to explain it wasn't for me, but it was too long of an explanation, so I kind of just ran out of the store as fast as I could. Seriously! YOU COULD HEAR HIS JUDGMENT IN HIS VOICE!

I hate when people do that for books. Although I do that for Twilight, it's an entirely different thing!

Ha.

So my ear is starting to be a tad lame, and I'm all "booooooooo!" Because who doesn't boo their own body when it's like "SHUT DOWN!"? Yes. I know.

- Possum

Hey! Check this ning out.

My sister's trying to start a Twilight Bark right now. I'm all "my ears!" because it quite hurts. She's succeeded if the bark requires TWO real dogs, and two HUMANS acting like dogs. Yes, I joined in with the barks going "whoowhoowhoo" DOG STYLE.

That's now over and I'm just eating an oreo cooking. Yummy.

So if you're a fan of Meg Cabot, you should check out this ning about her. It's really only just getting started, but it has potential. You should really post in the forums, where nobody posted but me for the most part. !!

So hm, today was my first day back from March Break. I've got a student teacher in my second period class, but I don't know anything about him. My teacher wasn't there, so it was full of supply teachers. So he didn't actually talk. WHICH BY THE WAY, it was so hard to get back into the swing of things. I was all "..." when she handed out work to do. I was all lalala, I don't want to do this! So I just sat there talking to the people at my group, today. Distractions ftw!

I'm tired now.

- Possum

It's my day!

It was a nice spring day today. Considering yesterday was the first day of spring, I expect thing. I DEMAND THIS! In actuality, living in Ontario, Canada in the country, spring is usually filled with snow days and snow on the ground until mid-May. I guess you could say spring doesn't really exist in my location. However, it does half an hour away from my house, in the city. It gets so nice there, it's like "I'm gonna hang out!" As that's just how it goes, yo.

But this year, the snow is gone, and it's nice out. I love it. Not to say that snow can't fall in the following weeks--which I have to admit, it's going to happen--I'm still happy.

So this all leads to what I did today. I was using the hammock as a swing, and started to just go swinging. And then I started to shout out some spells from Harry Potter (as one does) and imagine I was having this epic battle. It was really fun! It ended with my epic shouting of "AVADA KEDAVRA!" because you know what? I follow Bellatrix's advice: I MEAN it. So that was fun. An invisible battle with some wizards. Or wizard, in my case.

At this point in time, my brother comes outside and we have this attempt of when I'm swinging, he attempt to hug. And then shake hands. And then fist bump it. ALL WHILE SWINGING! It's great. I'm surprised neither of us really got punched in the face.

After that, we went back to the "old days" and played hide and go seek. I have to say, my dogs REALLY give away my location! The first time around, I did the dangerous root, and hid under my dad's truck. Haha, yeah, don't do that. Sidney was good enough to just sit there with me though, and not go running when my brother went by. But then, something happened. I was spotted. Don't wear a BRIGHT ORANGE JACKET when you're playing hide and go seek. It's just a little bout of common sense for you!

Speaking of truck, last night I was reading some MLIA stories and came across one talking about writing on a truck. Because you know when your vehicle gets really dirty and mucky, you can write stuff on it? Well, I found one story ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS! So I was waiting for my mom to get up, so I could present her with it. She laughed, and said to go ahead. So I went outside at like 6 this morning, and wrote on my dad's truck: I wish my wife was this dirty!

He didn't like it. Actually, he went to go get to cleaned, AND when it didn't come off, he made me wipe it off. At first he didn't get it, but then he did, and he said it just wasn't funny. I thought it was hilarious. It could've been my lack of sleep, but whatever. My mom told me "I'm not offended by it" but whatever.

At least SHE got the humor. I just wanted to make someone laugh when they saw it like I did at the MLIA! Curses, father. Curses.

- Possum

It's A CHALLENGE!

I think I'm getting a cold or something. My throat is being very uncool, and last night my nose was like "hey Possum, let's leak" and before I could say NO, it went ahead with its plans! My nose went ahead with its plans without consulting ME! What a thing, seriously.

Silly nose.

So as Shelly Quade blogged about, there is a new challenge about! With writing a script. It'll be like the failed attempt of NaNoWriMo, but script-wise. And it's just 100 pages! (Why do I think 100 pages is not a lot?) I'm already excited for this, and so are a few other people. It's great! So if you're interested in that, it's Script Frenzy. So I think April will be an exciting month, don't you?

It's already got the exciting factor though, already. With BEDA happening and all. BEDA being Blog Every Day in April. Of course, the creator of the BEDA challenge isn't even returning until August, so that's kind of like ... worthy.

... being my opinion not being stated.

Harry Potter (with no pictures)

Last night I stayed up till 6AM listening to MuggleCast podcasts. Now, this wasn't my first time listening to the podcast (that was last week on the morning bus), but it was still a shock to see I enjoyed it. I was lying on my bed in the middle of the night, in my dark room, laughing. I'm very glad nobody heard me, that's for sure. But it was funny. I don't know if it was because of the content (which listening to it this afternoon, it was still hilarious) or if it was because of my lack of sleep. A combination of both, I guess.

Whatever the case, it seriously made me want to read the books again and watch the movies. So of course, right now I have Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on the screen right now. I really don't care for this movie, though. It's not my favorite HARRY POTTER movie, I guess.

Do you have a least favorite?

I like Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone though. I know most people don't really care for Christopher Columbus' direction, but I can't say I don't mind it. When I first saw the movie, I was just glad everything seemed so right in the way of the book. But the second one was like "C'MON! END ALREADY!"

Confession: That's how I was with the Half-Blood Prince. That movie was just non ending! Not that I didn't appreciate it. I did. It was just too long. In my opinion, of course. I liked Order of the Phoenix. It's probably my second favorite.

True true.

So I don't know why I'm talking about Potter. I guess because I was cool enough to venture listening to my ipod last night. YEAH. I can't always save things for my bus ride!

I just have a problem: The podcasts like just CUT off! So I went to read the transcripts this afternoon, but it wasn't quite the same. Not all of them do either, just a few. And it's really lame. Fersrsly. -_- Plus I would love to listen to them from the beginning, like I did with DFTBA Radio Hour, but I don't know how to go about doing that. I think I need to do some exploring.

Yeah.

- Possum

Oh yeah.

Right now I write things that come to mind as I write them. Stay tuned for this insight into my head, ala Possum style.


I don't know if I'm going to write, as much as just put PICTURES in. True story!

WHOAH! There is a NING for Rupert Grint fans! This kind of blows my mind. I think I'm going to go on a ning joining spree. I think that'd be fun, don't you think? (A ning is a form of a social networking site, by the way.)


So hey! I don't know. I'd rather go out with Ronald Weasley than Viktor Krum. Personal preference, maybe. What's your opinion on that?

So yesh. I like strawberries. And ice cream. And chicken. And caesar salad. And I want to watch Gilmore Girls right now.


Tooooooo bad I can't!

- Possum

I wouldn't even call these "musings". Forshame.

Hey! So today is Wednesday.

My cats are being extra affectionate today. I don't know what's up with them. I'm a bit nervous that something might be a bit wrong? I'm not too sure. Whatever the case, it was on Monday when they killed another mouse! Seriously. I don't know who it was, but I suspect Willow. She's more so a ... cat than Cosine at times.

Today I did an abundance of Harry Potter questions. It was kind of difficult at times! My dad even sat beside me for awhile doing them with me. Except there was one question where it was all "What class is Neville good at?" and I was all "WINKY!" ... I obviously got the wrong question.

So that was amusing for me.

I like seeing advertisements for the return of Glee. It's exciting. True true.

That stupid new Melrose Place is on, and I'm like '...'. What a stupid show. Sure, I watched the old one for a few seasons, but that doesn't mean a revival is due! And the old tenants of Melrose Place were DONE with high school! Why are the current people ALL in high school? SO it seems, so it seems.

I just turned the tv off.

A wise thing to do.

Hm. I think I'm going to watch the third Jurassic Park tonight. As I watched the first two this week already. Why not finish off the set? True true.

Wellllllllll. Yeah.

- Possum

Hmmm. Nothing.

Things make me laugh. I'm not going to deny that. I like to laugh. Or as the song from Mary Poppins goes: I love to laugh. Loud and long and clear. I love to laugh. It's getting worse ev'ry year.

I don't know why I mention that. There's really nothing FUNNY about today, per say. I watched a few episodes of How I Met Your Mother (a show I forgot to list as one of my favorites! FOR SHAME!) and that was about it on the funny scale. So very sad.

It's day two of my march break, and it's slipping away. When I was some of my chores, it was like INTENSE. You really shouldn't assert yourself when you're ill. But I'm not really bad, as much as I sort of feel... crummy. I don't have a sore throat, I no longer feel nauseous, and my headache is gone! But the thing is, I don't feel 110%. Perhaps a 74%? That seems about right.

Yeaaaaaaah. So I don't know what my INTENTIONS are this week. I haven't got any homework or anything. I'm just kind of enjoying my lack of school. That seems about right. I should be looking for a job, though. As for reasons that I won't be posting on this blog, a job is in order asap! Mostly because there is a need to save money up. Oh yes, the money.

It's funny. I've been "looking" for a job since like.. April. I just can't actually bring myself to PUT MYSELF OUT THERE. For shame, yet again. It's lame. It's lame. I can't deny it.

On the other hand, I don't know. I think I'm going to go watch a movie or something.

So I apologize about yesterday...

It totally slipped my mind to blog yesterday. I'm not even joking. I mean, I was aware that I wasn't on the computer--as one is--but the lack of blogging didn't seem a problem until a few minutes ago. There I was, just sitting in the living room going, "I didn't go on Gaia yesterday... OHWAIT! I DIDN'T EVEN GO ON THE COMPUTER AT ALL YESTERDAY!" Thus the panicking of lack of resolution working happened. My mom made a comment of "Oh no! The stalkers don't know what you did!" and I was all "HEYHEYHEY! IT'S A RESOLUTION!" Because it was. It is, I should say. It's pretty good I made it this far! I just feel lame that I used one of my two-day-clause on forgetting it. Blah.

So I don't feel very well. My stomach isn't all that well, and I don't want to get sick. But everyone else in my house got sick over the past week, and I'm all NO! Because guess what? Being sick isn't fun. However, I'm glad if I DO get sick, it's over March Break. I don't want to be missing any school or anything. Man, you know you're "mature" when missing school seems like a bad thing. O.o Interesting.

So I was watching a few movies last night. Like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, The Mummy and Jurassic Park. I love Jurassic Park! It's so scary, it's good. It's not even scary, but more so intense. I can't really explain how much I love those movies. This be true!

But I was thinking of the favorite stuff I like, and here is a list I compiled.

"It's a horror book? I assumed it'd be romance..."

I took that personality test just now. You know the one, with the Myers Brigg thing. My results show that I am an ISFJ. Sounds snazzy, doesn't it? "Oh, I'm an ISFJ." Exactly.

An ISFJ is Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging. Sounds awesome. It does though. I like it. Did you take the test before? What were your results?

Anyway, today I was just browsing through some titles, and I came across a VAMPIRE book. Now this isn't about sparkly vampires, but vampires who actually NEED human blood. I attempted to read the first three chapters, but it was a no go. The back cover sounded interesting though. The vampire was a vampire who was on the Titanic, and he was CAUGHT in the SHIP! So when it went down, he went down too.

I'm not going to lie: I was surprised. Surprised about how he killed the crew. I don't know why. Maybe it's just because of the abundance of lame vampire books out there recently, but still. Sheesh. I was all "... You mean he DOESN'T fall in love with one of the crew members?!" Hah.. Go paranormal romance...

Back to the storyline: So he's all like a prune being in the water for so long, and he thought he was DEAD! IN HIS OWN FORM OF HELL! I mean, I think that would be hell. I don't even want to THINK about being caught underwater and being conscious. That scares me, actually. I guess maybe that's why I was drawn to the back cover.

It was lame, though. Disappointing. Maybe it's just one of those books where you need to read more to get into the book. Or maybe it just wasn't for me. I'm not too sure. It was under the HORROR category anyway. Ohs wells.

Not to say that that all vampires need to get with some humans. I understand vampire lore, I'm not Meyer. And not the cool one who created the personality test either. OHSNAP. xD

But yeah, glad it's Friday. I've got spring break next week, so I'm all YAYYYY. I'm GLAD I don't have any co-op or school work happening next week. I just want to relax. Relaxing being awesome, of course.

WARS!

I went to bed with wet hair last night and woke up to curls. Oddly enough, only on my left side. I guess that's where I slept on for most of the night. So when I woke up this morning, I was like "!!" So I didn't even brush my hair, but went with the curls. In other words, my hair was messy.

Today was a rainy day. My sister also forbid me to buy ANY! more books. You can say my room is a bit of a "book central" if you were going to talk like that. I however, don't see her point. I'm making a collection! A collection of books that will follow me through to the end of my life. Do you collect anything that you anticipate to be with you until the end of your days? EXACTLY! It's a big thing.

I'm kind of tired right now. I just want tomorrow evening to come so I can relax. Relaxing sounds fantabulous, actually. I expect to watch a new movies, read some stuff from a book and SLEEP! Doesn't that sound divine? I think so!

I had a marker war today. As in, my arm is covered in marker marks. From red, yellow, green and even blue, my arm is like WAZAH! Funny enough, when I walked into co-op and my co-worker saw that, he knew right away: "Marker war?" I guess they're pretty common. Do you know what they are? IF NOT: It's when someone has a marker, and it's A THING to write on the other person. I'm pretty keen on writing on people's clothes and neck. I go for the kill. It's amazing. What isn't amazing? The marker is A SHARPIE! It just doesn't come off like, super easy. ! LEGASP!

-_- So I looked pretty professional via arms today at work.

Ha. Work. Yeah.

The memories of grade nine

My feet hurt. I forgot how much I really hate my shoes. *looks at them with disdain* Garh.

Today it was just another one of those days. I knocked a bunch of yearbooks off their shelf today. That was embarrassing. I could feel my face turning red but, lovely enough, nobody came to see what was a-happening. Whoot?

Exactly.

I did see my dad's old high school. I was searching through to see if I could spot him, but I guess I got the years wrong. My dad was curious enough: "Did you find my yearbook?!" No, I didn't. I looked, though. I was also searching through the yearbook for my old school, so I could maybe spot an old teacher. I DID! I found my science teacher. She was young and not even married yet! WEIRD! That was all, though. I miss that school. RIP HILLCREST.

But to go back to those days, I give you a lovely SURVEY from the grade nine fantastic times. ENJOY~

PSST! You should also do it too! IN the comments, if you wish!

Well, that was a bit of useless information for you regarding my grade nine high school days. Enjoy that, now! I'd like to hear about yours, too!

Noodles be mine!

There is an issue of the local universities newspaper on my kitchen table right now that I wish to read. A few weeks ago, there was a bit of a "controversial" cover on the colleges newspaper that the president of the whatever they call it, didn't like. I was like 'WHOAH BUDDY!' He was being completely immature. It's those kind of people that seriously make me want to stay away from that school.

So now the ex-editor is going to the universities newspaper and going "it's completely unfair!" and I agree.

In other news, there isn't going to be any expected rates of tuition next year announced until April. This doesn't make me too pleased, because I have to decide on where I'm going to school, like soon. (In reality I have until May 1st, but shh.) I'd really like to know if going away to school is a viable option. I have to take in account the lame meal plan my "DREAM" school offers, the cost of food and all those lovely things. I guess if I do go away, I'll be living the cliche college meal: Ramen noodles. Yummy? I don't know. Although I think that would be a nice thing to have right about now.

I didn't really have supper today. I did watch two movies though: The Hangover and Bride Wars. I've never seen them, so that was exciting enough. The Hangover made me laugh and Bride Wars made me want to punch Anne Hathaway's character in the face.

I guess reading this blog, I may seem like a violent person, but truthfully, I'm like the next person.

True.

It was raining today. I know, RAIN! IN MARCH! So very odd for this type of weather. It's supposed to rain tomorrow to, so I'm all .... It's not that bad, with its power of melting snow, but it gets kind of ridiculous when it FREEZES. It doesn't make driving conditions very swell, that's for sure.

Also: Does this happen to you: You're driving home/wherever and a SONG comes on the radio that you like. And before you know it, you're at the destination BUT the song isn't over! What to do, what to do?

Whatever the case, I'm going to go have some NOODLES! As I am hungry.

I want!

I'm eating some ice cream right now. Yummy, I love ice cream!

Today I had co-op, as per usual. Although my supervisor wasn't there, so it was just my other co-worker for the main part. I had a cookie that I could feel seeping through my mouth. It was sticky! But yummy.

Although it was weird because my mom actually came in to pick me up, and I was like WHOAH. I guess it's just not a place i imagine people I know going to. I mean, I've BEEN to the store before. Actually, that's where my dad and I got my birthday books! (All Meg Cabot, of course.) But still, it's weird enough when my sister comes in, looking for me.

Today was yet another beautiful day. I'm so pleased with the weather, it's insane. Living in the country, the snow isn't all gone, but in the city it's like !! It's intense. I just wish to go to Vickers Park and sit down on the grass and read. Ohwait... That's an ACTUAL summer activity. Because of I was to sit on the grass, I would get WET.

I wore my converse shoes today. I've been wearing my black boots since like... November, so that was a change. I liked it, though. But when I took them off at my aunt's house this afternoon, it was DIFFICULT! No more slippin' on and off now! Boo, you whore. (Shoes!)

But I'm off to continue with my reading of a book. You'll hear more about it later.

Legasp! It's changed! The weight of the antagonist/mostpopulargirlinschool!

I watched Mean Girls twice this weekend. I really do enjoy it. It's got a good screenplay, an incredible cast and good direction. As in, a good director. Although I'm sort of biased because I love Rachel McAdams.

Anyway, I realized that the way the most popular girl in school has changed. Even when Sabrina, The Teenage Witch was on tv, the most popular girl, Libby Chessler, had a healthy weight. She wasn't fussing over her weight (from what the viewers saw) and she wasn't made fun of for it.


While on Mean Girls, when Regina George gained a few pounds, people made fun of her. She was also constantly wanting to lose a few pounds. She didn't even need to! Even when McAdams was wearing a fat suit, she looked perfectly fine. It's amazing how things change over time.

It amazes me to watch Sabrina, The Teenage Witch now, and see Libby as the most popular girl in school. And I grew up with that show. I even "grew up" with Mean Girls. I remember seeing the movie the first day it came out when I was in grade eight. I didn't think much about it then, but still. It's kind of weird.

Am I the only one that noticed that? Has the definition of beauty changed in the media that much over a few years? The answer of course, is yes.

Whatever the case, I enjoy both characters. Not so much for their personalities, but what amusement they bring to the viewer.

Going back to the "good" times...

I was listening to my sister's ipod today. I never realized how much I missed the likes of Muse or Within Temptation until that headphone went into my ear.

I even went on gaiaonline.com today. I don't know what to make of it. I just need to find a place to "hang" out. Before I was in the general discussion forum, but that's too much commitment at the moment. So I joined a few guilds. Those are okay, but I'm waiting back to hear from quite a few of them.

Wow, I just went back a few summers ago. Mentioned above, those things are all I did a few years ago. Listen to Muse, Within Temptation, MIKA and go on gaia. Crazy. But I didn't talk to the same people I did way back then. I don't even think I would. As that would be kind of intensely crazy.

Not to say the people I talked to back then were crazy. They were nice, but it's like.. I don't know. They were the friends that had an expiry date on them. Oooh, that sounds mean. I meant to say was that they were only friends for a certain time.

OH MAN, I'm just digging a bigger hole for myself.

Anyway, moving on...

Today is Saturday. I'm glad. It wasn't the best Saturday, but it wasn't the worst either. I slept in, I had some breakfast. I was the only kid home until like 5PM. Life was good.

And it shall remain good until further notice!

TGIF!

My cats enjoy playing in boxes. They also enjoy shopping bags and other lovely mundane things. I mention this because right now Cosine is playing with a box and it's getting slightly annoying listening to her claw the cardboard. Oh wait--I just saw Willow slink out of the box. In ter est ing.

Today I bought some tea from Tim Hortons. They're having their promotional roll up the rim contest, so of COURSE I had to buy some stuff from Tim Hortons! It's like THE Canadian thing to do. Anyway, I didn't win. In total between my sister and I, we've had EIGHT tries. No luck! Lame... Although it goes until the end of the month so I'm all !!! Even if it's just a timbit.

Anyway, I heard from Sault College: All I have to do is complete my classes in June and I'm a-okay. Which is pretty much an assumption when applying for school. I have to give kudos to Sault College though: The lady who replied to my email was rather ... awesome. I guess that's the only way to explain it.

So I have to see if I REALLY CAN go there with the parents permission and such. That'll take awhile to do some TRUE convincing. Although I'm sure my mind will change by next week...

Alalalalalalala.

In the end, this school week was rather okay. I was pretty tired today for staying up past 11 last night, but it wasn't that bad. I was sleeping on the bus and BARELY woke up for my school stop. That would've been embarrassing to miss that. But yes! Overall, this week went by fast. I was shocked to find out it was Thursday yesterday. It felt like Friday! But that feeling usually is SUCKY sometimes; this time it wasn't!

Yay! But the same thought every week: TGIF.

Candles and parties, oh my.

The stuff I bought (er... my mom bought) at the candle party I went to a few weeks ago came in today. A candle party is kind of like a Tupperware party. People just go buy the stuff. They put an order in, and a few weeks later, it will come in. There's also usually snacks and other lovely things. My mom is actually hosting one this month. There was a free Host gift (a host gets a free gift) and I was like "we need to host a party to get that!!" So my mom did.

I love my mom.

So anyways, the loot came in. I got some incense cones, with a sweet little holder, some candles with Olympic colours (with different scents!) and a DIFFUSER THING. (Those caps weren't supposed to be there, but my cruise control came on, so away it goes.) All that for like 60 dollars! Simply ridiculous. But they do smell simply divine.

Oh the wonders of scent.

Anyway, today at co-op, we got a new counter shelf thing. And I am a complete failure at the calculator. It's just so complicated for me, it's embarrassing. I used a calculator in math, but this calculator? IT IS CONFUSING! I need like a tutorial in how to use it. Lame. My supervisor was all "you need to know how to use this" and I'm all "yeah..." but inside I was like >.<

Oh! I got my first test back in my introduction to anthropology, sociology and psychology today. I was so proud of my mark, I was like !! I got 79/80. The question I thought I was going to have trouble with? I didn't. My teacher even wrote a comment by my answer saying "Wow (Possum), you really know this stuff!" Haha, that's fun. The one question I got wrong? I didn't know what type of sociologist would study a certain situation. It was one of the questions I thought was tricky, so that isn't that bad. But yeah, I be proud of it!

I am also proud of my cats! We're currently dog sitting Fancy, a ... dog. We've been doing this for awhile now every now and then, so my cats are familiar with her. This time is no different! They're not even scared! But Sidney, one of our dogs, he is BARKING LIKE A MAD MAN! It's getting annoying. Small dogs have a distinctive sharp bark that is annoying.

That is true.

Speed--but we slow down after 50.

I'm sort of tired, right now. My eyes are kind of like v_v and that ain't fun!

Today my dad and sister informed me that I walk fast. I was supposed to meet them at Chapters after my co-op, but whoah, they weren't there! THEY WERE IN THE PARKING LOT OF MY CO-OP, WAITING FOR ME! I didn't know this. So when I shimmied out of the store, I kind of had the destination in mind to walk: Chapters. So I'm just doing my walk, and a horn honks.

THREE TIMES. I didn't know it was for me. Who thinks when someone honks a horn in a parking lot, it's for you?

Anyway, the point is that I was halfway across the lot. This is where half of my family informed me of my speed. That's good to know, I guess.

Argh! Speaking of walking, I wish I did that TODAY. I was on the bus, and it was crowded. Okay, it's a public bus: it happens. The thing was, I was sitting in a weird location on the bus. So when this guy around 30 comes on, he goes to the empty seat between me and this other guy. Now, the guy who came to sit down beside me not only reek of alcohol, he did not sit like a normal person on a crowded bus! As in, you just sit in YOUR seat, and try and not bother the people next to you. He did this. I wanted to stand up and stamp my foot on his feet, and grind my feet in. VIOLENT JULIA COMES OUT.

Seriously.

He moved however, so it wasn't quite a huge problem.

At the time however, I was like "GET OFF AND WALK THE REST OF THE WAY!" But if I did that, I'd be late. Although I don't know if I really would've. As I seem to WALK FAST.

Anyway...

My hands are completely dry! And it's getting annoying. I need lotion! STAT!

It be time!

I just had some fruit salad. It was yumtastic because I bought some strawberries to spice it up. I guess spice isn't the ideal word to use here.

I also bought a strawberry julius. Oy, isn't that a yummy thing! I ENJOYED IT SO. Although the person who made it seemed like she was in a bad mood. Hm. That isn't good! Bad moods SUCK.

My skin is really dry right now. As mentioned Sunday, SPRING! I WANT YOU! Actually, it's been really warm lately (hahaha... "warm") and everyone is saying that since March comes in LIKE A LION, it will go out like a lamb. Seriously! I've been hearing this a LOT since just yesterday. Insane.

Today I finally bought my first book from The Bookshelf. I came. I saw. I grabbed. INTENSE. It's The Hunger Games. I've been getting suggestions for that damn book since like last year (2008!) so since it was five dollars, I was like WHY NOT? Exactly. Even though my mom distinctively told me "not to buy books" when she gave me money this morning. I couldn't help it! It was like a SIGN or something. So now I'll be able to have some of The Hunger Games In Your Pants.!

Yay!

Sigh-a-ligh

Sidney Crosby is big news right now. This makes sense, as he's the one that scored the winning goal. But still. As my business teacher said: "It HAD to be Sidney. What a poster boy." Not to say I don't like him. I do. I even mentioned him in my business essay randomly. It was my connected theme in my introduction and conclusion. How? Trading cards. Just go with it.

Anyway, my friend keeps on ditching me. I don't think ditching is the word, but more so... She's standing me up. And it's getting fricken annoying! I don't even want to see her at this point for AMUSEMENT, but to get all the books she has of mine back. I'm done with high school friendships. Seriously.

It doesn't help the only thing we talk about when we talk is about the memories of years ago. "Remember when John made that comment about apples?" "Remember when we sent Warren that message?" YEAH, THOSE ARE THINGS I REALLY CARE ABOUT. >_>

I realize you have no idea what those mean, but eh.

I'm just getting frustrated with people in my life.

Especially the counselors at my school! Apparently I REALLY DO need college English. And I was all 'can I take it at night?' and they were all "I don't think that's a good idea". DO THEY NOT COMPREHEND THAT IT IS MY FUTURE SCHOOL-AGE? When I was in the office today, I wanted to start crying. But I didn't. I just kind of went with the... punches.

I know this seems like I'm in a bad mood, but I'm not. I'm quite in an okay mood, with the laughter coming through. I just finished watching a stand up comedy special on those damn Yankees. Aka: You, most likely. It was about the seven deadly sins. I love seeing those comedians from back in the day. Especially one of them, because he was talking about his daughter who was in preschool. His most recent stuff talks about his daughter dating. LEGASP! She's grown up!

I haven't got a clue who she is, but y'know... intense.
