The h(ro)omies

Yo'... homies... a great year :)

so much for my happy ending

Wow, life is moving at rather a rapid pace. Finished school yesterday - FINALLY - seems like this semester has gone on forever. now for exams. yippee... After that maybe i'll just sleep for a whole week.
AJ and i have decided to move in together for the summer - we've found a place - but i think i'm going to check out a few other options today... regardless, our leases are up April 30, so i guess we'll be SOMEWHERE on May 1st. Its actually pretty exciting... i like moving into a new place and setting everything up. i just don't feel like moving 3 times in the next 8 months. And i'm sad to be loosing my roomies - shout out to Andrea, Mel, Karla and Kristie - i'll miss you guys, its been fun.

anyway - i'm going to go catch a shower...
life continues at max pace today.

PS: have you noticed an angry chick music vid trend? maybe i'm an angry chick. you should watch out!

'trippin'

It has been an interesting week. Monday night, i went with Mel, Andrea, Shaun and J to watch "Lucky number sleven" - a freebee from work. It was really weird but the end was excellent. Unfortunately, Indy's car blew up that day, so he didn't come. Uggg... i hate car trouble. it blows.
Tuesday was a fun morning of running errands. I suckered Indy into coming with me (bwahhaha) so that was entertaining at least! If you haven't been into the new admin building on campus, you should really go and check out the latex inflatable display. it really is quite something.

Thursday was Mom's birthday. I had more freebee tickets, this time to "take the lead" - which was FANTASTIC. I picked up mom and dad after work and we went to the movie. Then AJ and i had organized to go past Tony Thomas so that she could see mom on her birthday and give her flowers. Mom was totally blindsided, since she thought going to see AJ was her idea... haha... we're SCHNEAKY!

J, Indy and i have been planning on going on a road trip since like Sept => originally it was meant to be Vancouver (ditchers) but 2 weeks ago i was inspired to go see the tunnels in Moose Jaw.  So 8am on Sunday morning J picked up Indy and I, and we set off for "little Chicago". Naturally the day started with a stop for breakfast at McD's... here we see J caressing Indy's neck.. ah affection... Silly boys.

When we finally got to Moose jaw (after much tormenting from the two of them - WHY did i sign up for driving long distances with them??? You don't know either?) it was about 10:30. so we drove around and looked at the town for a while. Then we went for an early lunch, since the tunnels only open at 12. We went on the Chicago tour - it was excellent! really well done. We came out with the nicknames of gigit, doorstop and charlie... all booze-deprived bootleggers... (US? NEVER)

We decided that since we were in MJ, we should catch ALL the local attractions, so we headed over to the casino/ temple gardens spa. I lost then recovered than lost my $5 (it happens) and the boys played a bit before we went swimming :) GORGEOUS!
Indy managed to tell the same lady (on 2 diff occasions) that "sorry about her... she's not from here" - which was pretty hilarious considering we didn't notice that it was the same lady until she started laughing.... JERK!

Greg phoned to come and catch up with us on his way back to Briarcrest, so we visited with him for a while. Since we were in Moose Jaw, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to take pics with the giant moose  - Indy and J seem somewhat impressed with its anatomy... haha... so much to be said at this point.

awww.. more cuddling... so sweet.


And the love goes on and on. I did draw the line at wedding dress shopping. lol. life is good when you have a pair of crazy boys around :)

Anyway - to round off our day, we went to go watch "Ice age - the meltdown" at Galaxy. Very cute.
Its amazing - we packed so much stuff into one little day that by the time we were leaving the city at 9:30, it felt like we had been there for days. The perfect holiday.

Ah ha. the "richard" wave.  Really describes much of our drive home...

I'll be really disappointed if we don't get to go on another road trip - that would be a distinct plus for staying in 'toon for the summer - cos this one ROCKED!

anyway - i should REALLY be doing my very important paper right now.
So I'm going to SWITCH OFF my internet access and get going.

WISH ME WELL - ONLY 2 DAYS OF SCHOOL LEFT :) :) :) YIPPPEEE! (and EEEEKK!! This paper has to be in on THURSDAY!!!!)

ciao.

Just walk away.

I'm impressed: she manages to capture it all in one song. wow.

Walk Away Lyrics

You've got your mother and your brother, every other
Under cover telling you what to say
You think I'm stupid
But the truth is, that it's
CupidBaby, loving you has made me this way

So before you point your finger
Get your hands off of my trigger,oh yah
You need to know this situations getting old
And now the more you talk, the less I can say
I'm looking for attention
I don't know the question
Should you stay or should you go?
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why you still standing here

Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
Just walk awayJust walk away,
Just walk away

I waited here for you like a kid waiting after school
So tell me how come you never showed
I gave you everything and never asked for anything
And look at me, I'm all alone
So before you start defending, baby
Stop all your pretending
I know ,you know ,I know
So what's the point in being slow,
"Let's get this show on the road today"

Hey I'm looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why you still standing here
Hey,Hey, Hey, HeyJust walk away
Just walk away, Just Walk Away

I want a love
I want a fire
To feel the burn
My desires
I want a man by my side
Not a boy who runs and hides
Are you going to fight for me
Die for me
Live and breathe for me
Do you care for me
Cause if you don't then just leave

I'm looking for attention
I don't know the question
Should you stay or should you go
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why you still standing here
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
Just walk away
If you dont have the answer
Walk Away
Just Walk Away
Then Just Leave

oh yeah walk away walk away

Blessed are the cracked: For it is they who let in the light

I own me. But my heavenly father made me and owns me more. so in some respects i'm just a caretaker of me??
wow - leave philosphy behind, i'm going back to grade two English.
ciao

if you accompany a friend... there is no detour too far - L Tolstoi

life is easier than you think.
All you have to do is:
- accept the impossible
- do without the indespensible
- bear the intolerable

i've been neck deep in history over the last week. I had to do a big autobiography project (don't even ask me how that's related to education - it gives me rage. ANYWAY) and so i've been digging out old old pics and some newer ones. all in all i'm feeling a little nostalgic (and very tired) so here are a few gems from my friendship book - as i was leaving for Canada. Its a cool book - you should ask me to check it out some day.
(they're a little soppy - year book stuff, but i decided to only put the good stuff here.)

"Love life. Love each moment, each person, each special thing that happens in your lifetime. Enjoy each moment."

"There's a miracle called friendship, which dwells withing the heart.
You don't know how it happends, or where it gets its start.
But you know the happiness that friendship always brings,
and you realize that friendship is God's most perfect gift."

What is a friend? It is a person with whom you dare to be yourself. - F. Crane

"Friendship is loving rather than being in love"



"Behind These Hazel Eyes"

Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside
'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hangin' on

walk away

there's an awful lot of bootie shaking in this vid, but i like the song anyway.I'm really getting to like Kelly Clarkson actually... hazel eyes was brilliant, and i like the lyrics for this one too... i think the video sadly might in fact detract from the song... anyway.

to science unit plans and beyond. (YAY! ONLY 3 MORE WEEKS OF THIS SCHOOL CRAP! I'm PUMPED for summer. just wish i had any idea of what to do....eeek!)

have a gooder~!

WALK AWAY (Kelly Clarkson)

you're missing me

i know all you've got lately is song lyrics. for some reason (maybe cos i'm procrastinating and listening to a lot of music), i keep finding songs which just say it or capture the moment better than i ever could. so here we go again. i guess extropolation is your friend, cos i'm just too tired.

JACK JOHNSON - Bubble Toes Lyrics
It's as simple as something that nobody knows that her eyes are
as big as her bubbly toes
on the feet of a queen of the hearts of the cards and her feet
are all covered with tar balls and scars

It's as common as something that nobody knows that her beauty
will follow wherever she goes
up the hill in the back of her house in the would she love me
forever,
I know she could

I remember when you and me mmm how we used to be just good
friends
Wouldn't give me none
But all I wanted was some
She's got a whole lot of reasons
She cant think of a single one
That can justify leaving
and he got none but he thinks he got so many problems
Man he got, too much time to waste

His dreams are like commercials
But her dreams are picture perfect and
Our dreams are so related though they're often underestimated

It's as simple as something that nobody knows that
Her eyes are as big as her bubbly toes
On the feet of the queen of the hearts of the cards
And her feet are infested with tar balls and

La da da da da da

Well I was eating lunch at the D. L. G.
When this little girl came and she sat next to me
I never seen nobody move the way she did
Well she did and she does and she'll do it again

When you move like a jellyfish
Rhythm don't mean nothing
You go with the flow
You don't stop
Move like a jellyfish
Rhythm is nothing
You go with the flow
You don't stop

It's as common as something that nobody knows it
Her beauty will follow wherever she goes
Up the hill in the back of her house in the wood
She'll love me forever, I know she

If you would only listen
You might just realize what you're missing
You're missing me
If you would only listen
You might just realize what you're missing
You're missing me

I can speek English good too

Ha. I feel vindicated. Today, i discovered something which justifies my whole way of speaking, AND should be of special interest to some of you from a couple summers ago... you know who you are... BEE- BAH is thus compleetely acceptable as an ambulance sound!!!

check this out:

as kids we were all told that trains go "Choo - choo" and cars go "beep beep".. but in other languages that might not be the case.

AAH - CHOO!
portuguese: ah - chim!
German: Hat-Chee!
Greek: Ap Tsou!
Japanese: Hakshon!
Italian: EkChee!

EENY-MEENY-MINY-MO
Arabic: Hadi Badi!
Italian: Ambaraba chichicoco
Japanese: Hee-foo-mee-yo
Swedish: Ol-uh dol-uh doff
Polish: Ele mele dudki!

HILARIOUS!

Cory showed me this video prob a year ago, and i found it as hilarious then as i do now... especially considering our top secret dance - gym project... haha...
This guy is an Austrian interpretative mime artist (Johann Lippowitz) performing Natalie Imbruglia's "Torn". WOW>>> i'd LOVE to see him live!

ENJOY :)
