my dad fell off a roof, broke his leg and crushed his foot.

I haven't come on LJ is such a long time. Im doing really really well. I LOVE GUELPH. Today was a particularily great day- I got a job, with good pay and GREAT hours, I started massage therapy (p.s better than sex), I started mega cheap guitar lessons, and i am seeing a councillor named dorothy with a sweetass unibrow.

Im tweakin a little about midterms, but who am i kidding? I like to be worried and I LOVE to be busy..so im doing just fine.

Im going to China for a year. But actually this time. I just got accepted. I leave in April.

I just bought groceries and they are really fuckin good. I got mini wheats, and pre-seasoned tofu, and raspberries, and cheese curds and three other kinds of cheese because im amazing.

my Dad's a fucker, but ive come to terms with that fact.

I had a dream last night that i squirted my roommates mayo down the drain and cried when she found out it was me and so I ran off naked, and people kept telling me I should have bothered to shave my bakini line...Freudian slip perhaps?

speakinhg of which, I fuckin love my program, everytime someone says the word psychoanalytic or conditioned stimuli i cum in my pants. and thats how much I like psychology.

I feel lonely

I am feeling very overwhelmed this week. I find myself constantly second-guessing myself...man, im so over this. I dont feel like complaining. I am just concerned. I stopped taking my meds for a few days, and now im all out of wack. I shouldnt have done that, because now im so super depressed and mixed up. i swear they have caused more problems than they have solved.

I got a tattoo two days ago. It was very spontaneous...let's just say that. I really do like it, I'm just a little scared of it. Its kinda big, and kinda colourful...but its pretty.

Wow, its hard to believe I made it out alive. I can't believe I doubted myself so much. i feel very accomplished. I have been joggin by the river in the mornings, my exams went so well, im eating well playing lots of guitar, and writing. I went hiking yesterday, it was great, I fed the ducks. I am such a caregiver, the only reason I went to feed them is because the day before, I threw them a sandwich and one duck got left out. He was a lot smaller than the rest, so I knew exactly which one it was when i went back. Anyway he wasnt hungry when i was done with em. between three ducks they ate a whole loaf of bread.
But back to me, i feel very balanced. I am not juggling everyone elses problems now, just my own. I have mastered the art of loving detachment. And boy, when you just concentrate on yourself for a while, its amazing what you can get done. Whenever I set out to do soemthing, i try to make sure it is benefitting me in some way. Like, either good for my health, self expression, benevolence, or intellect.
I know i must really seem to be lacking modesty here, but it feels good to finally recognise all my strengths. Going into second year with some confidence will be nice.

Andrew said "some birds just cant be caged" -i dont know if that is good or bad, but i know im not about to settle down with anything just yet.

worst 10 minutes this year

my fucking room smells like a brewery. I feel trapped in here. there are jocks partying everywhere, one tried to grab my goddamn ass on my way up. frig
my relationship is falling apart at the seams. and i just cried because of a cookie. pretty sweet if you ask me. Im glad midterms went well though, on a side note. I'm proud of myself.

to drink or not to drink, that is the question

Sun, 06 Feb 2005 00:24:12 GMT

so that was the best new years ever. i left my house in attempts to rekindle my sanity after lunch. i think andrews mom called it loving detachment. i love my family but there comes a point when they need to figure things out without me. and they'll be fine.
Andrew and I rescued Michael from my house later last night and took him out to this random vietnamese restaurant we found. Then we bought him candy. then he was really happy to know that someone actually gave a damn. Then we went back to Andrews place, and hung out with his mom for a while. we hit up tim hortons with her (which seemed to make her feel good) and were in the hot tub for the "coutn down" which consisted of Andrews dad yelling through the screen "uh oh, ya missed it..."

so, new years resolutions include:
-no more forks at asian restaurants
-no more elevators in rez (stairs from now on)
-no more smoking pot
-floss every day
-green tea only
-give blood
-plus i quit eating chocolate as of today.

im excited, this seems like it will be a good year

"The thought manifests as the word;
The word manifests as the deed;
The deed develops into habit;
And habit hardens into character;
So watch the thought and its ways with care,
And let it spring from love
Born out of concern for all beings....
As the shadow follows the body,
As we think, so we become"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHAEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wed, 27 Oct 2004 03:40:00 GMT

my head is aching and pulsating louder than my thoughts

"Choke me in the shallow water before i get too deep"

Wed, 27 Oct 2004 03:35:02 GMT

i want to curl up into a ball and roll away. if i was a little less intuitive or inquisitive, this would all be meaningless, and nothign would matter, because i wouldnt understand. actually, i take that back, because i dont know shit. accept that my instincts are contaminating, and contradictory.

Sun, 24 Oct 2004 15:49:19 GMT

im home for the weekend. it feels really nice. i have noticed that I am really emotional lately. I cried when i hugged brandon, and i cried when i saw matthew. hes like a foot taller than he was the last time i saw him. he has been attached to my hip since i got here. and whenever no one is around, he whispers that he loves me the most. its such a nice atmostphere to come home to.

Last night i needed a taste of adventure, and a reconnection between myself and old friends. so i went and saw them. (i even saw cj on plains road, but we didnt really talk, i can't believe i STILL felt a little awkward around him. BUt anyway, they got this *bright* idea to hotbox a u-haul. I guess someone had worked there and new that they never locked the back of them. normally i would have bolted and rolled my eyes. but like i said, i needed somethign like that.
The whole time, i was afraid the back would close and we would be stuck, but it was pretty hilarious..

now im back to reality though, and attempting to face my problems again.

so todays issue is guys:

At school, not many girls are friendly, and i find guys tend to make conversation with me more often. But like Ben used to say, when a guy meets you, he has already decided whether or not he would date you.
This makes things difficult. Im kind of lonely, but i dont want to be with someone im not attracted to, but they all think im interested, since i like to have the company. its frustrating, since i am already bad at confronting people.

any suggestions?

It finally worked!

Im so confused. I had a comp sci test that i had to do online, but my prof told me you cant access it from home. So i figured I would do the PRACTISE test online before i went to the lab for the real thing...Only, apparently i was doing the actual test from home. I have no idea how that works, since he said its impossible. Thankgod i got 90%, since i was only fucking around. I got a report emailed to me with the mark on it..but now i dont know if it actually counts, or if i should be at the lab, attempting to reaccess it...im so lost.

yesterday it started to smell like fall. officially. and it reminded me of last year. and i cried, and i was standing in front of the u.c.c with andrew, and i felt really stupid.

eek

Wed, 15 Sep 2004 19:44:32 GMT

andrew from the third floor bought me a flower...

Wed, 15 Sep 2004 19:40:56 GMT

german is excrutiating. its my third class and we are still counting to 20...im going to comit suicide.

Tue, 14 Sep 2004 19:48:58 GMT

film class-AMAZING. fake crab meat, even better. in our first class we watche the emperors new groove, and now im analysing it to death.
i didnt know what heart burn was until like a month ago. now i wish i didnt.
maybe rachaels right..i am not even really eating anything e.g today all ive eaten is crab meat, and yet i feel fat..

um, i am comming to burlinton this weekend...(on mastercard, oh man. i swear it should be maxed out by now)

so i want to see everyone i know!

my film teacher is bad ass. her first words to us were, and i quote "ok, im the bitch who asks for names from film credits on tests. you will love my class, but if you plagerize, ill nail you to a fucking wall"

haha, shes so rad. and uhh, it took until garbage moved out of the garbage can, onto the floor, out of the cupboard, and into the hallway, before we bought any garbage bags.

i feel cheap

Sat, 11 Sep 2004 02:40:21 GMT

maybe i DO just alwyas need something to be sad about. maybe it is all about comfort. but i feel so alone. i dont want the past, but i want, what i used to feel like, when i had the past. i compare everyone to when i felt complete. so no one will ever meet that standard. (which i guess should be a compliment to you ben..if you read this)

but anyway, i guess when someone hits on me, it makes me feel like maybe they actually care about me. but they obviously dont, they just care about getting some. and then after i feel so cheap. i think i remember learning about this in sociology. im such a fucking statistic. ugh
