Boy oh boy do I ever hate Daylight Savings Time. Woke up sooo late today. Now I'm going to be all thrown off-cycle for the rest of the day.
Having a really trembly, achy muscle day today. My legs are not impressed with me. Hopefully this will happen less frequently when I get a desk in my room and can stop sitting cross-legged on my bed when I'm on the computer (which is sitting on a cardboard box).
Watched the first two extended Lord of the Rings movies yesterday. I'd forgotten how much I love them. I'll watch Return of the King today. Also watched Enchanted yesterday... I'm such a sucker for Disney.
CP gave me a link so a roleplay board that he's involved in with some people he knows... I checked it out and sort of want to join, but I can see myself getting bored with it fairly quickly. We'll see, though - if I can throw a character together today that's interesting enough, I might join up.
Started re-reading The Bell Jar the other day. I raced through it the first time, and that was a few years ago, so I figured it was time to give it another go.
I gave Jeremie the link to this site yesterday... he didn't seem impressed. Oh, well.
Bought a sketchbook on Saturday. Have a couple of things to upload, nothing very good or exciting but I hope to get that done sometime today.
Desk shopping and doctor's appointment tomorrow, visit to MTA in ten days!
Went out with Amy yesterday evening for a girl's night. Saw He's Just Not That Into You, which was surprisingly good. Drove around for a while, chatted about random shit. Good time was had by all.
Talked to Geoff on the phone for hours. He was drunk. We always have better conversations when he's drunk. Don't ask me why, I wish I knew.
Went to bed late.
Woke up early.
Ran into the city. Ate way more than I should have while in the city. Bought a gravel vacuum thing for my fishtank, hopefully it will be easier to clean out now. Got a shirt and a scarft and a couple of DVDs for my mom at Wal-Mart.
No good clothes at Addition Elle or Ricki's... disappointing. I'm sick of having such a limited wardrobe. New stuff comes out next week though apparently so that will be nice.
Overdid it today, so exhausted now. Logan asked me yesterday if I was going to the Rock (local bar) tonight... I want to but at the same time I don't. If he asks me again I'll go, if not then I think I'll stay home.
God I'm tired.
Watched two episodes of Firefly tonight, followed by Moulin Rouge.
The more I see of Firefly, the more I enjoy it. I can't decide how I feel about some of the characters, which is a nice change from most TV shows I see these days. I usually find myself able to form opinions very quickly about characters in TV shows, and these opinions usually don't change. Where's the fun in that?
I like it when my chosen form of entertainment (be it a TV show, movie, game, etc.) surprises me or proves me wrong.
I like it even more if it does so more than once.
I found an unopened box of 24 Crayola crayons today.
The smell of brand-new crayons is just magical.
That is all for now. Leave me to my crayons.
(What smells make you relax?)
I was supposed to go to Selkirk today to pick up a job application and do some shopping at Wal-Mart and Canadian Tire for the family. Sadly, the weather decided not to co-operate and I was forced to stay home. Booo.
Played Guitar Hero for an hour or so, that was fun. I get fairly good scores on medium, but when I mess up it's because I've done something stupid like confuse the yellow and red buttons. I must have some kind of mental block when it comes to these colours! Also, my hand does NOT open wide enough (or my pinky finger is not strong enough) to hit the blue button with any sort of speed or strength. Anything faster than 1/4 and I fail hardcore with the blue button.
I do enjoy playing, though, despite my shortcomings. It's a nice way to spend an hour on my feet instead of my ass. xD
Tomorrow I will bust out the DDR, though, I think. I've had a craving for a while now and I need to lose some weight. Might as well kill two birds with one stone! I just want to be careful that I don't hurt myself before I go to MTA, the last thing I want is for that trip to be cancelled. It's pretty much all I've got to look forward to right now. I guess I should start thinking of things to look forward to for when I get back from my trip so I don't fall into an emo pit.
What do you do when you need some excitement in your life, when you need something to look forward to? How do you find new things to do?
Do ambulance drivers have to memorize street maps of the surrounding area(s) before they are allowed to drive the ambulance?
What happens if an ambulance driver gets lost on the way to an pick up a patient? Are there backup drivers or ambulances ready in case this happens?
What about ambulance drivers in large cities? Are they responsible for the entire city, or for only a certain radius from their hospital?
I am curious. Does anyone know the answers to these questions?
(An ambulance just drove by on the highway with its lights and siren on, in case anyone is wondering what prompted this post)
My website statistics page says that I had somewhere in the region of 65 pageviews yesterday, wow! Certainly wasn't expecting to see that many.
I've received a few lovely comments from people who have seen this website, and it's truly heartwarming to hear from everyone! It's amazing to think that a person can just throw a few words up on a tiny corner of the internet and connect with people all over the world.
The connection is really what I was looking for when I started this website (it's funny how I say that as though I've been doing this for ages, when it's only been maaaaybe a week) and so far I have been very pleasantly surprised by how many people I've heard from and how many other blogs I've been introduced to through Weebly.
That being said, I would love to hear from you if you're checking out the website! Even if you hate it, let me know what you think I can improve. Or even just introduce yourself. Meeting new people is great fun!
If I were to end my blog posts with a question (such as this one!), would it inspire you to leave a comment? What other things could I do to make this blog/website more interesting? Let me know! ♥
I had great things planned for today.
I was going to get up nice and early, have a shower, run some errands... pick up and fill out a job application, buy parking passes for when I start up evening courses at the college.
I read a couple articles in a recent Maclean's this morning that I wanted to write a blog post on.
I had a discussion with my family over supper that I also felt like writing something about.
Does it look like I've done any of that?
No. Instead of doing something productive (or even semi-productive) with all my free time, I spent the day reading Harry Potter fanfiction and making half-assed posts on avatar forums.
I also spent quite a bit of time feeling sorry for myself. This seems to be a frequent occurrence these days, and I hope it's only because I'm PMSing or something. I don't particularly enjoy feeling put out, especially when I know that I don't really have anything to complain about. Yes, my life has been thrown around recently because of these medical issues. Yes, there are certain aspects of my life that suck hardcore right now, but there's nothing that I can do about it. And there's no point in crying over spilled milk, right? But sometimes that's all I feel like doing. I just want to feel sorry for myself, I want to throw myself a pity party, I want to gorge on all these high-fat, high-carb foods, I want to be a whiney, weepy, pathetic mess. I want someone that I can be a whiney, weepy, pathetic mess with - without feeling guilty about it!
But then, that's wishful thinking. It's time to be an adult now, and I guess that means learning to deal with this on my own.
I'm trying, guys.
I finished reading The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Laroux this morning while I was eating breakfast. I've had the novel in my possession for over a year now, and finally decided to crack it open the other day. I had been putting it off because someone (I can't remember who at this point) told me it was a difficult read, and I have been feeling more like "light and fluffy" material lately.
I would like to make it known that The Phantom of the Opera is not a difficult read at all. It is, in fact, one of the easier novels I have read in the past two months. Its competition consisted of Jane Eyre and Northanger Abbey, and it will be followed by Language in Society (a textbook that I didn't get the chance to use).
I'm not sure what I'll read after I finish the textbook - by then, the textbook for my ASL course should have arrived in the mail, so I'll probably take a look at that. I need to start practicing my French and German again, and I do have copies of the Lord of the Rings in French, so maybe I will give that another try. I have a philosophy book entitled Die Sprache der Moral that I've been eager to look at, but my level of German comprehension is nowhere near high enough to be able to apprecite it fully. I need to get my hands on some young-adult books in German!
