I went through my books again!

WELL, I didn't work today. But apparently, one of the rooms I did yesterday was COMPLAINED ABOUT! How do I know this? One of my coworkers told me. I was like, "PLEASE! I cleaned that stupid room!" Apparently, the ashtrays weren't WASHED. And I was like, PFFT! I NEVER KNEW SMOKERS HAD STANDARDS! I MEAN, WITH THEIR OBVIOUS ACTIONS OF SLOWLY KILLING THEMSELVES! So if my boss says something to me about that tomorrow, I am going to say that. Because right now? I don't care. I really just want YESTERDAY to be my last day, but my parents are all, no... And I'm all, YES. And my dad got into my work ethic, and I was like ... I don't care. Which is not something my parents want to hear when I'm about to embark on the rest of my life.

So I have to stick with it one more day.

Sigh.

(sigh indeed.)

Anyway, I got into my books again (in my actions of packing up my room) and ... I'm just not picking all my books this time. I mean, while I do like His Dark Materials, I don't think I'm going to have some SUDDEN URGE to read them. And if I do, I'll just ask my mom to mail them to me. Or just go to the public library in the city. It's not that hard. (Although I can't bring myself to leave the works of Sarah Dessen, Maureen Johnson and, even if it kills me, Meg Cabot with me.)

Much easier. It's still a lot of books, but not too much this time. It's good!

Books, and what to read next (this weekend, though)

I deleted my former post, because I didn't like it!

I attempted to get to it before someone saw it, but I didn't.

TRAGIC! And like it says on my wall where I sleep, c'est la vie.

SERIOUSLY! I noticed that yesterday night when I was going to sleep. I don't remember writing it, but I'm sure I did. So that's nice to know it's just THERE to remind me of stuff. Truth.

I didn't even realize that Meg Cabot's new book was being released today. Seriously. So when I signed into Twitter, I was all '??' at all the stuff on there about it. Shhhhhhhhhhaaaaaeesh! OH well. You can tell that I'm not about to go run out and buy it...

Not just because her twitter style is impersonal, as Shelly Quade said, but her books are EXPENSIVE! Like, the adult books, brand new, even in paperback, are a ridiculous price. And I don't have that kind of spare change around. *I will empty my pockets to show you*

AND I DID. (Except not because my skirt doesn't have pockets! LIES OF THE INTERNET!!!11)

It rained a lot today. TRUTH! Not like last Friday, but still quite a bit.

I'm putting a lot of score music from Harry Potter on my ipod. But it's okay though, because it's nice to listen to when I'm reading and stuff. And what am I reading right now?

*dundundun*

NOTHING! I have to decide on what to read next. I did find Letters to Julia, though! And I was like "COOL!" because it was exciting. But to be honest, I think I misplaced it again. *sigh* I think I'll just finish reading Storm Winds or The Wind Dancer. As I think it'll be a nice thing to just GET INTO! BUT, I have to wait until the weekend, as I'm tuckered down with end-of-the-year assignments and exams. SUCKY!

At least I'm almost done!

Magazine past!

Reading through the magazines I've got in my room right now, I have noticed that No Doubt was still heavily in everything, as was Simple Plan. I mean, they could be now, but I don't buy them to know. And when I saw teen magazines, I'm talking about lameo M, J-14 and whatever else I could get my grubby hands on in my past.

SHEESH. I'm all "I actually BOUGHT THESE?!" and my sister laughed, telling me I would say the same thing to the magazines I've got now.

I cannot imagine saying that! The magazines I buy now have SUBSTANCE!

Yes, that's why you can't even follow the fashion advice a few months after. BECAUSE YOU KNOW, I'm so up to the minute with fashion! *rolls eyes* I'm just saying, in a general thing. Because I guess you could follow the health advice, etc. etc. Unless it's from the past and it's all "throw up your meals!" I don't have any magazines that say that, but eh eh!

Although I was looking through one of my mom's magazines from... the early 80s, and one had a LOT of advertisements for cigarettes! It blew my mind how much there was. The view on smoking sure has changed. Yes.

I'm really glad tomorrow is Friday. Today I wanted to leave co-op early, but I couldn't: I was the only one working alongside my supervisor. So I couldn't exactly just ditch/leave. I did leave early (as in, 15 minutes) that allowed me to scoot over across the road and buy a book.

A BOOK I WON'T READ SO I CAN GET SOME CREDIT FOR IT. Yeah!

As credit is awesome.

I picked a book yesterday on what I wanted the store to buy (it was YA, I had the final choice) and so I put it on hold. Except the girl who dropped them off never came around to pick up her cheque and confirm the order, so I can't get it yet. It's a book on Ophelia! AS IN, her untold story! It looks interesting, so I was like "ooh". Ophelia is the tragic character from Hamlet, of course. I mean, just one of the many in that play. ETC.

Today my former "BFF" came in. When I saw her walk through the door, I was like "WHOAH". Haha, yes. I decided not to make it awkward with trying to ignore her or anything. I mean, I wouldn't do that, but yes. We talked, and she was all "did you see New Moon?" Haha, oh. Because I was still obsessed with Twilight when I stopped being friends with her. So I was all "TIMES HAVE CHANGED" etc. Yeah! Once she left, my supervisor went: "You looked so awkward when she was here!"

SERIOUSLY? MY BODY LANGUAGE WAS AWKWARD? I didn't know that! Sheesh. And this is what he said: "So what happened?" and I was like "we had an awkward falling out." And straight up, he said "did she hit on you?" I was like "..." Yes. So apparently he can read things. "It was noticeable the moment she walked in." !!! WHOAH. INTENSE.

ALTHOUGH! SHE SAID NERDFIGHTERS AND I WAS LIKE !!!!!!!!!!!!! I got so excited. Yeah! So maybe I can talk to her or something. =)

P.S: I love the long comments!

GOOD BRA.. I NEEDS ONE. Random title, no?

I am getting a cold!

My throat is acting funny, my ears aren't to their extreme working condition--although they're fairly normal--and I just all around want to VEG. So I am! Because it's May long weekend, I am quite content with my life! I have no homework, I am not doing co-op, and I get to stay home and read! This morning I took out two Jodi Picoult books from the library, so I hope to read them this weekend. It didn't really take me a long time to read My Sister's Keeper, so I hope that wasn't an exception.

Truth!

Okay! This boy made me laugh. And I guess I made him laugh. We started talking and got to know each other more. This continued on for a month or so. But then he got kind of intense with his "oh, I think I love you" and I'm all "..." Because I sure didn't! I wasn't even sure we were REALLY DATING. I mean, I don't know.

Anyway, I kind of just stepped away, and we went back to our regular lives. Except not, because if we DO talk/see each other now, it's very much a "..." moment. Like in October, I was all OH! when I talked to him. It was very random and unexpected.

Yes.

So I don't know. I don't even really want to count that as my first dating experience. Because I want it to be with someone who I REALLY REALLY like. And they like me back the same amount. So I hope to find that somewhere in the future!

Yeah. =)

I gots credit!!

I was on the bus this afternoon, and I was listening to my ipod. My bus buddy wasn't on, so what else was I supposed to do? So yes, I was listening and just enjoying the TUNES that came from the earbuds into my ears!

So, it's near my stop, and I take off my earbuds. Because I mean, I don't want them on when I'm getting OFF the bus, or, god forbid, when I'm walking into co-op. So there I was, turning off my ipod, when I hear it.

I freeze, suddenly overcome with a fear to turn around. WHY?!?!?

Well, I heard a VOICE! A voice of a particular girl who ANNOYS me. I mean, I used to be on friendly terms with her, but when I was like "hey, I don't like you" to her friend, it was like "I DON'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR EXISTENCE!"

(I didn't actually say "I don't like you" to her, by the way.)

So I kind of turn my head to CONFIRM my suspicions, and they were confirmed. Not only that, the girl sitting beside her was the SISTER of the girl previously mentioned. So it was all "turn around and stare straight ahead". I got so nervous! Like my heartrate went up, and I started to panic slightly.

Because the girl used to be friends with my sister, but when I stopped talking to her sister, my sister stopped talking to her, which caused some TENSION. (I realize that sounds REALLY confusing.)

Anyways, I don't know if they NOTICED me, but I noticed them! And it was an oddddddddd experience.

Also!: Today I brought in a few Garfield books into my co-op placement, and I got $31 dollars in credit! YES! It was exciting. So I made an account for myself, and felt proud of myself. I also bought Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone on cassette with that credit for $1.95 due to them being on sale. Yeah! I was planning on buying it earlier, but good thing I waited! True story.

Anyway, it was a good day. It went by quickly, and I'm surprised it's already the hour it is! Intense.

I wanted to act like it was Woody's Roundup or something.

I am having trouble downloading some new Mugglecast goodness into my computer! Well, I wouldn't say new, as they're OLD episodes, but still! So I am using Internet Explorer to help with my search for awesome.

I have to say, it's REALLY WEIRD to use Yahoo search, instead of Google. You could say I'm a Google kinda person. I've been using it since I was in grade eight! Ha, yes, because I very much remember using Alta Vista and whatnot in elementary school.

Yeah...

Anyway, I see my brother's friend bike by all slow and creepy, so I have to deal with that.

*creeps away from computer*

*elevator music plays*

Back! I had to tell him my BROTHER wasn't home, while dealing with the dogs going BARK!BARK!BARK!

Ooh, some Harry Potter goodness is playing right now! Not MuggleCast, but some John Williams score music. Yay! I love it. It makes me feel all happy inside. =)

Well, Internet Explorer works better with downloading MuggleCast episodes than Firefox. Disappointing! I like Firefox... It's nice!

This is also where I get to experience the slowness (yes) that is my internet, compared to just using wifi with my ipod.

*waits*

So last night I finished Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. I wasn't able to watch the movie, due to the late hour and my feelings of general tired-ness, but I was able to actually READ A BOOK! Yes! One that is my very own! I felt all good inside with that. There were some parts in the book that made me laugh, and some that made me go "!" But since I already watched the movie (many eons ago) I knew the general storyline. However, Disney did a good job in adapting it, a bit. There were some differences, like Sam, but overall, it was alright. The ending had more of a DISNEY ending in the movie, of course, but the book ending was alright too.

I also didn't have to deal with Lohan singing some random song about Eliza rocking, so it was nice. ^__^ It made me want to watch Freaky Friday, though. Ooh, Lohan marathon in my future? I THINK SO!

Movies I Want To Watch Right Now: (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER!)
- Ocean's Eleven
- Freaky Friday
- Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen
- Too Smooth (one of the movies I bought) and,
- Hanging Up (another movie I bought on Friday.)

Hey! I just found out Too Smooth isn't even the TITLE Of the movie! According to IMDb it's Hairshirt! What?! So very odd.

Now I'm listening to Patrick Doyle, and his "Harry In Winter" thing. Hah. Random, amirite?

I'm going to go watch a movie now. As I have a few to get through today, if I actually go through my WANT list! Will I?! Find out more next week*, in the adventures of POSSUM!

- Possum

*It will actually BE next week, too! Because today is Sunday, and tomorrow is MONDAY! Therefore, a new week! Unless you count Sunday to be the beginning of the new week, ala calenders all around?

I shall read a book... and watch the movie after

I feel like reading Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. I was looking through some of my books this morning, and I read the first few pages of it. I bought it a few months ago, so I think I COULD DO IT!

Truly.

I feel like this is a step in the right direction.

Yeah!

This afternoon I was talking up Sault College with my mom and brother, and I think it's going to be okay! She's accepted I'm going away, and my brother is like "YOU'RE GOING!" So it's quite happy times around.

I was also listening to WHAM! so it makes for an interesting Saturday so far. I'm glad it's the weekend though. I don't feel particularly great, so just relaxing is mighty fine!

Sorry it's so short--I might write something else later. Or do a survey.

Hey-ay!

I bought The Shack, Thirst VOLUME ONE (just for credit purposes at my co-op) and an old edition of Glamour today.

Co-op was busy today! As soon as I shimmied through the door, I was busy. And I got really angry at one of my co-workers today. He was like "put these away" and "do that" and while it's my JOB to do that, I was like "!!!" PMS, how you suck.

So whenever he asked me to do something, I would curse silently in my head to him. So if anyone could READ MINDS today, I'd be a very angry person. Lovely, ain't it? Yeah.

I was able to pick out SIX books for a school to buy for their library! Since the YA section is "MY SECTION" (seriously, that's what it's called by my supervisor), I was able to "assist" the situation. Aka: I picked out books for them to buy for FEMALES. I was a little rushed in the last SECOND, so I grabbed a few random ones.

As chosen, here it is:

- 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson
- How To Be Popular by Meg Cabot
- Feeling Sorry for Celia by Jaclyn Moriarty
- The Boyfriend List by E. Lockhart
- The Au Pairs by Melissa de la Cruz (last minute choice!)
- Pants on Fire by Meg Cabot

I was asked to organize the CURRENT EVENTS section, and I was like "sure!" Because I don't mind organzing a shelf, usually, because it passes the time much more quickly. But I wasn't even in the "F" section when the STUPID co-worker comes up to me and says: "When you're done with that, I have a big stack of books for you to put on the shelf."

And I was like (in my head), "C'MON! I'M ALREADY DOING SOMETHING ELSE!" But because it was YA, it was slightly better. So I just kind of left the current affairs to CALM DOWN. And I went to my lovely YA, and got distracted by some of the back covers: I want to read some of them!

But I was really bored by the ones that are like "I love him!" I don't really WANT to read LOVE STORIES right now. I want something with MORE to it, you know? Yeah.

So there is that: I need to read the Tomorrow series. It's so good, you're not disappointed. ^__^

A random train of thoughts, for you, Shelly.

A random train of thoughts regarding a book, a song, and a person.


I was just listening to Boulevard Of Broken Dreams by Green Day.

Because of my intensity in listening to this song when I was reading Master of Murder by Christoper Pike* for the first time, it's what I associate to the book.

Likewise with the book to the song.

However, in April of '09, I met a girl named Shelly Quade on the Maureen Johnson ning. While I have a feeling her real name isn't Shelly Quade (but if it was, !!), it's the name of a character in Master of Murder.

With all that there, whenever I read Master of Murder, I think of Shelly and Boulevard Of Broken Dreams.

Whenever I listen to Boulevard Of Broken Dreams, I think of Master of Murder, and Shelly.

And whenever I read Shelly's blog, I think of Christopher Pike.

* If you've never read this book, you should! It's one of my favorite 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.

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.

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.

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.

"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.

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!

TGIF yet again!

The rest of the books I ordered? They came in today. When my mom said I had mail at home waiting for me, I was like "IS IT FROM LEAH!?!" And my mom was all "no, I think it's some books". I was disappointed. Disappointed at BOOKS!

But it's cool! They're all glossy and new! And I've got a "save 25% off on your next purchase" coupon. BUT! Since my order came in TWO shipments, I've got TWO of those coupons! YAY! I'm so excited to go to Chapters.

I mean, I was there today, but I didn't buy anything. I just sort of browsed. I did come across a book I wanted, but I didn't feel like parting from my last eight dollars. Ha, this is mostly because I was contemplating buying a strawberry frappachino, and that itself is like... five dollars.

Speaking of bookstores, my co-op supervisor said that I'm welcome to borrow a book to read on weekends or something. I was like "okay" but I didn't take advantage of that offer just yet. I'm reading The Phantom of the Opera right now (go chapter two...) so I'm not about to start an entirely new book.

Yeah.

ANYWAY, I'm so glad it's Friday. This afternoon I was just WAITING for 4PM to come around. I'm not saying I don't like my co-op placement, I'm just saying it's been a long week. Seriously. I just want to relax and watch some tv.

*thinks of homework* DAMN YOU WORK!

RECAP!

Today when my mom and I were leaving the mall, this guy was smoking by the door. Now, I don't know if it's illegal where you live, but smoking is not allowed in buildings. This guy was also bellowing (yes, bellowing) "I am the law. I am above the law." I guess because he was smoking inside. All I could do was go -_- because even if you're above the law, you're not supposed to be smoking inside! There was a lady with her BABY right there.

Anyway.

Today was my first day at my co-op placement. As I told Leah I would talk about it, here it goes: I put my jacket away, I made a map of the store, put some price/stamps in books, put said books on shelves (hey, historical romance!) and organized the young adult section. YES! I DID! It was AWESOME, let me tell you! There was so much Cabot books, I felt like I was in heaven. Sure, I wasn't reading the books, but I was near them.

I cannot wait until the day when I can say "this book is good" and the person will buy it. I mean, I do this quite frequently at Chapters and Coles, but if I'm actually at a placement of a location where I'm learning, that's even more awesome! I think so, anyways.

Ha. But I find the simplest things awesome.

Like dare I mention the chocolate I bought today? YEAH. Because all the chocolates for Valentine's Day was on sale, my mom and I picked some up. =) It's yummy stuff, let me tell you.

On a not-so-personal note, today is Pancake Tuesday! And as one who celebrates Pancake Tuesday, I had pancakes tonight. They were simply divine. Although I didn't like the way I put the syrup and such on them. Sigh. But on a personal note, tomorrow is Ash Wednesday.. While I'm not overly religious, I do like giving something up for lent. I don't know what though...

Haha, I'll think about that tonight.

"Don't get a VD today, on V-day"

Happy Valentine's Day.

I know people have strong opinions on this holiday. From hating it to loving it. I'm in the middle. I don't drown in my "sorrows" for being single on this day, nor do I hate the chocolates and cards you can buy. I was big into giving cards to people on this day. Sure I don't give everyone in my class a card, but that's just because it's impractical. I don't even talk to everyone in my various classes.

But nonetheless, Happy Valentine's Day. It's just another one of those days.

Although slightly cool. I had some family over for dinner, and it was fun. Usually I'm shy and just sit in my room reading, but today I actually came out! Yes. Although I did finish reading The Sister's Keeper before I did. My cousin was all "did she die yet?" and as there was only like... 10 pages left (ha) I said no. She was shocked, as the book was almost over. Yes, the girl doesn't even die until the very end. Awhile both the movie and book sort of made me cry, it wasn't a fountain of tears like other books I have read. I was actually just kind of hoping the girl would die already. I know! It's rather SHOCKING, but seriously! I would've liked to have the book ending to the movie ending.

But I'll get more into a review of the book later, on ANOTHER blog! =)

It's just another one of those things, the Dog King informed us

TGIF! TGIF! You know what this means?

No school tomorrow! Actually this weekend is special in the sense of it being a long weekend. Yes, I've got Monday off! Why? Well, there's this lovely "holiday" called Family Day. I remember when it was being proposed. The Premier of Ontario was all "vote for me for a day off" and as I was just not at the age of voting, I told my mom to vote for him, so I can get a day off of school.

And look what happened... A day off from school!

It's a win. But I think on Monday I will get more into the lovely-ness that is Family Day.

Today was just another day at school. Actually, the afternoon was boring. I was done all my work, so I just kind of sat there. I did write to my twin, AND I took out two books from the library. I'm currently reading the first one. I'd like to finish the books this weekend, to work on my resolution. I think this is a plausible plan.

It's very exciting.

I've got a new morning bus driver. I don't know what to say. And when I typed MORNING, it came out boring. Freudian slip? I'd say so. =O It happened again, when I was telling you what I did. See the caps for emphasis on writing the right word.

So I think my plans for the future changed yet again. I don't know. I just seriously can't make up my mind. It's rather lame. I haven't mentioned this to my mom, because I know she'd be all "make up your mind!" Seriously.

Haha... Like I'm a decisive person.

The cat couldn't stop crying, and the dog smacked him

My mom is watching Star Trek right now. If I glance at the tv, I can see some Chris Pine lookin' fine. Oh, my eyes are drawn to the screen, to look at the man with the beautiful smile.

I think I'm just going to go watch Star Trek with her, because not only is Chris Pine in there, but so is Zachary Quinto!

Yummy.

So today I had my interview at my co-op placement. I was pretty nervous about the interview, but it wasn't that bad. Yeah, I was quiet, but I answered the questions sort of fine. The good part is that I got the placement, but there's also a clause in there that I can leave after a week if it's not for me. As it's described as a repetitive job. I think it'll fine. I mean, it's a bookstore. I love books. What's so bad about that?

True dat.

Speaking of books, today I bought Princess on the Brink. It's awesome. I mean, it's not my favorite book in the Princess Diaries series, but it's still amazing. It's just sort of sad, because Michael goes off to Japan and all that sad stuff. -_-

But I won't get into that now.

(Because seriously, Princess Mia was the saddest book in the series.)

I WILL STOP!

What I won't stop? Writing an awesome letter to Leah. Leah, I know you're reading this, so I want to say this: When I write to you, it's like I'm talking to you. And let's just say I write to you a LOT throughout the day. So it's like you're my constant companion! It makes my day less lame, let me tell you.

So I thank you, for being in my mind.

My mind.
