Why is Talib working with Justin?

His high voice surprisingly works with it, but stillllll. How are you? How was b-towns home for the evening? Mine was alright. I spent it at the annual first nations christmas dinner. Saw old friends, but most of time, I was just bored. I left early to go on some quick grocery quest. I came back with organic cream cheese, cool whip and graham crackers. At the checkout, I ended up talking for a solid 5 minutes to two girls about cakes. That is a long time at checkout, with people behind you.

Tonight, here's whats bugging me. Why do people look down at you if your not going to school? That was alot of people tonight, in a weird way, actually, not only tonight, but alot lately. They consider random whatever i;m doing, (not lately), but the bigger things, unacceptable. I'm starting to get a tiny bit pissed off at the middle class. Even though, you as a people, are a hardworking one. I respect you. But I'm still allowed to be ticked-off. Why can't a not yet 20 year old do something other then kill herself with something i don't even know what it will turn out to be? Its just bugging me. You don't have this problemo mortimer. Your living the goodlife as a art history person. Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezeeeeeeee. (no dis-respect, just sayin')

The Girl at the Thai Restaurant Knew I was my Father's Daughter

Second free lunch this week! If this keeps up I can maybe afford Christmas presents! Either way Chouette, we went to this Thai place that is like a 3 second walk away and I got pineapple rice with chicken and shaved pork (that has the consistency of saw dust- my dad and his friend were making jokes about using a plain saw to cut it- whatever that is) and man, I will probably be full for weeks. And there is still half a plate left in the fridge. MMMmmmMMmmmMM

And I have been trying to straighten out my linguistics vocab but I keep getting distracted by things like my bladder and websites that are not called "blackboard learning systems"

Janina supposedly had to write this story for her English class about a freak that abducts women and stuff... so I am off to read and rate that.

Have a nice time.

Saltspring one day, Lady M the next.

So this is the view from the top of Mt. Maxwell on Saltspring Island. And man was it colder there than here. You know, this kind of looks like a river as viewed from a cliff top. No no, my friend: that there is the Great Strait of Georgia, nearish to the Canada/USA border, Vancouver Island with some snow in the distance. I should have taken a picture later, the sun came out as we were coming down the second mountain of the day and was shining through the rocks and honey-yellow and orange curly paper arbutus trees. I don't think I have ever seen so many arbutus (arbuti?) in one concetrated area. Gorgeous.

Made some more over 50 year old friends too. Cool ESL teachers with hard-core hiking boots. And a Japanese boy, a Korean elementary school teacher, two Chinese mathematicians.

And today my mom came down for the day to try and squeeze her way into some art galleries downtown, and to pick up some paitings with her friend. They were super nervous and were trying to get me to give opinions on thei bio write-ups and their hairstyles and I was like woooaaha. You take me Lady Marmalade and buy me a fruit parfait, let me eat it hey? And my mom's friend Susan ordered half of one salad and half of a different one, which is something I have never even considered. She got these two huge plates sitting in front of her. Anyway now I have a Lauryn Hill craving because they were playing some at the restaurant and our waiter was doing this hiphop head and neck rotating thing while picking up our plates.

the bird is for scale

This is what I did today ^^
Sarah's got this boy over and she kept shooting me little looks so I eventually just went for a 2 1/2 hour walk through downtown, to the Cathedral, down to the creepy former convent, up the hill to the park, down the hill to the bluff and the sea, up another hill to this really old neighbourhood, down another hill to home. This is a hilly city. And now the two of them are somewhere, because I can hear voices and his shoes are still in the kitchen, but I don't know where and I don't really want to find out...
On the up side, I found Kool and the Gang at the library CD section, so I have a few hours of quality listening coming up.
Also last night was the best show that I have ever been to... incredible. And I shared the whole thing with this wild child Mary from the hometown. Haven't seen her in ages but I'm really happy I did, she's a lot of fun. That is the first and only time I have ever stood on a pew in a church. Ha. But anyways, getting off topic here: DAN MANGAN. phewf, I don't even know. There was this one point where we were all standing in our pews doing this "oooOOAOoaodfvbn" kind of sound and swaying and he was doing his harmonizing "OOOOoooaofhswgh" and standing in the aisle, with the back up band memebers spread up and done the aisle. Holy holy. That is what I call a spiritual experience

down the road and on the lefthand side

So I am going to see Dan Mangan in about two hours, at the Victoria Conservatory of Music/ this real old church with good acoustics. I hear he is good live. Aren't we all.

And the kareoke was good last night. Except not a lot of people showed up and certain friends of mine were being all hoity-toity and not very nice in general. I had a pineapple vodka and 7up though, which made things seem a little better.

And her brothers going to kill me and he's six foot ten

hi. I think I'm tripping on paint fumes. And for some reason Sarah's toothbrush is in the shower. Or is that something that people do sometimes? Anyway today my stress-0-meter is back at 6/10, yesterday it was probably around 11/10. Today wrote an exam, sold some cookies, sold some tickets to a party, (sold my soul) bought some books and a couple of records, did some laundry, got a headache from sitting sideways on the bus. And I got an A on this paper I was a little stressed about, so apparently I am capable of sentence structure and all that. Hm

I'm coming back on the 16th. Which is a... thursday? I have to buy a bunch of christmas presents and write some exams in the meantime. Damn I saw some cool earrings today that someone would have liked but the guy won't be selling them over the christmas break... unless he's there tomorrow.

Ate so many cookies. I feel like I weigh 400 pounds. And I may have to dance tonight too. History in Art kids are throwing this end of semester party/ kareoke-DJ event. bleh.

And today I also met this guy who talked about "his book" and how it would be in the stores within the next month...and how when he was famous we will be glad to have met him. Too bad I don't remember his name. I know his business card has flames on it though.

This morning has been incredibly lame. I woke up feeling like shit, on the case, my brother stayed up until god knows when, and me waking up, at 2, 4, and some other hour. Then the website for the papers i need for the doctors, wasn't working. Tried to act cool, emailed them, (twice...) and finally got a email from marie-claude. But not before, canceling the doctors appointment, getting shamed from the lady on the phone and re-booking for the day they are due.

I'm still lame-feeling.


When are you coming home?

I fell in the forest, did you hear me?

something to do when you are bored: google the names of colours. Above you will see "light plum"

I'm exhausted. Just plain pooped. Today I sat in this cafe in the library on campus for 4 hours, trying to sell tickets for this fundraising party my course union is doing and I only sold one. And this dumbass frat-pledge kid would not stop pestering us girls who were sitting at the table with his unblievably ignorant comments. I mean, I like most of the frat guys well enough, they seem pretty decent, not the stereotype of States frat boys with their jocky-jockness and their blonde hair, these guys actually have personality. Anyway.

So I finally get out of school around 7 because I had to go to this OTHER meeting too... and I went straight to this friends house to watch Jepardy! (did you know that those guys on the show get a booklet to study from before going on the show?! I think that's bullshit, specially because a lot of the times they don't get really easy questions...). Our other friend shows up a few minutes later and I had heard earlier that a friend of hers had been charged with murder so what do I do? Like the biggest fool around I laugh until I cry. I gotta snap out of it.

And this morning in my 'intro to monotheism' class I kept writning churge instead of church. I'm losing it alright.

George Cambo? and rich peoples sex palace? Greaaaaaaaaaat
Today is the day, of figuring out peoples addresses and making clever cards and something heartfelt. Today is the day i brushed my hair and made some bread and called people and talked to others. I did some paperwork, went to the beach and enjoyed a goodlooking french man sing to the camera. Tonight, after arguing with a boy i like, i wll go have a bath and shave my legs.

Life is too slow.
