oh right, i forgot why i didnt want to post...blogger is so damn blubbly now. and too many buttons to click
anyhoo..i wonder if there is ever a polite way to tell someone they STINK. heres the story. so i came back to kingston after the long weekend and took coach canada instead of driving back cuz..my parents were paranoid that it was gonna pour (actually it was forecasted but never did end up pouring) and i would slam into a tree (or a mac truck).
anyways, so whatever that wasnt a big deal. i got on the bus and sat near the back - sorta the first row of seats just in front of the washroom. 2 seconds after i sat down i was like "holy cow, WHAT is that smell??" at first i thought it was coming from the washroom, except that it never smells like that. well i got up and moved anyways just in case. then, the cause of this putridfying smell came out of the washroom. HE was the reason. to help you better understand the extent of this paralyzing odour, imagine someone peeing on themselves for ... however many YEARS and NEVER taking a bath. seriously, the homeless people in downtown TO dont smell this bad. have you ever been around little boys, usually toddlers, with jam hands and sometimes smelling like urine? well, like that only 100 times worse. it was bad. it was nauseating. it was 2 fucking hours trapped in a seat 4 rows ahead of him. heh, funny sight was that everyone had their coats around their head or just covering their noses (same with me).
and yea, speaking of 2 hrs, he had went up to the driver to chat for the first 30 mins of the trip. so i think the driver took pity on us and floored it all the way to kingston. picture this: bus arrived at 6pm, we made a brief stop at Whitby GO station, and arrived at Kingston bus terminal at exactly 8pm. thats insane, but much appreciated. of course it felt..nay..it smelt..much longer than that.
there were other stories/rants that i had from this weekend, but this one topped them all.
(that and im lazy)

hmmm blogger changed its format for posting and whatnot..i dont like it...theres more clicking involved. i dont like unwelcomed change
a fast update since i have tutorials in bout .5 hrs.
-for awhile, a guy moved in across the street from us. he had no blinds. not so anymore..darn it.
-the weather here is finally becoming less spastic..well, still rain but not so much with the ridiculous temperature changes.
- has anyone ever seen "the swan" on tv? another one of those reality shows where they take women and remake them complete with plastic surgery? man, that is so disgusting. i mean, great for those women now cuz they had such low self-esteem to start with..but down the road? when the plastic starts messing them up? good luck with all that. its so sad
- there are no newspaper to be found anywhere on campus. SUCH limited supply its not even funny...i came to school today around 9am and managed to grab a copy of the star, by break time 1.5 hrs later, everything was gone. i guess im not the only one without internet access at home
-hmm there were more things i had in mind to blather on about but i cant remember...so tune in next time.
laterz yo

fine you guys are so lazy and then yell at me for not updating!! it's still long ..regardless...however, edited!! blah. enjoy :D
so it's been awhile...will be even more so now that im here in kingston for the spring term and have NO internet at home and have to trek the 15 mins to campus to check my email.
whats been new? lets start at the beginning..for those at work..prepare for some major time wasting (and good money spent on your boss' account ;) Here we go:
~I PASSED MY G TEST!!! WHOO!!! bring on the reckless driving cuz i dont have to care till im 60! (or is it 65? anyhoo...) wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
~ went to fairview with Li last friday and shopped at H&M. that store is fast becoming my fav. place to shop! go check it out if you have time.. the men's section/selection is pretty slim however. oh and went to see "13 going on 30" - the new movie with Jennifer Garner. it was...hmm...a cheesy but cute movie. and more cheese and it wouldve been unbearable, but as it stands now i'd recommend going to see it as a "hmm what should we do now? we're bored and are so tired of walking around the mall, i know! lets go see a movie" -type deal(sarcasm works when its shorter, i know i know). but no, it's very predictable but very funny. makes you think back to those good ol' days of gr 7 and/or 8 when the mean, bitchy girls ruled the school...speaking of which, i also want to go see "mean girls". guilty pleasure? mmm perhaps ;) Lindsay Lohan is so much more tolerable than Hilary Duff, i find. something about HD makes her so...wasstheword...slappable.
~ oh! and Li and I both bought another HOOJ mug from Disney. im starting a collection..i have 2 now. hee. s'wonderful. why use regular sized mugs when you can have a HOOJ one? exactly.
~moving day in kingston: was PAINFUL. i will never be able to figure out how THREE people managed to accumulate so much STUFF (i hesitate to use the word 'crap' cuz..theyre all invaluable possessions...ummm yes). so anyways, we rented a cargo van and made 4 FULL trips! boxes and boxes of our own individual stuff and then comes the furniture. so while we did take (a lot) of audrey's stuff with us, it still took us from 10 - 11ish AM till around 7:30 PM to finish moving everything into our new house, this doesnt even account for the fact that we did NO unpacking or rearranging of furniture..basically, we moved everything in and left. JOEL is fantastic! he drove back from TO to help us move and then drove back the next day. so very nice of him...we left him Lindt chocolate as (a sort of) payment :D
~ anyways, complications with one of the old tenats who hadnt moved out yet and lead to her thinking we were loud, obnoxious people who wanted to take over the apt before her lease was up; and us(me) thinking that she was a slob who hadnt even started packing yet and couldnt pick up after herself. yar...i tried to vacuum the place before the others started moving in the furniture but couldnt understand why there were SO many pieces of: clothes, garbage, decoration, misc lying around when she was to move out in a couple of days and shouldve been packing. so started throwing out the garbage and taking out the garbage bags in order to clean and make room for ALL of our stuff; was later informed that we (I) was infringing on her privacy since technically it was still her place. ok understandable from her perspective, but partially..i was thinking: ok but im cleaning YOUR house as youre living in it, how is THAT fair? if you knew that we were gonna be moving in, logically wouldnt you move your stuff out of the way? oh well, misunderstanding on communication i suppose. s'all over now
~ we have our house/apt!!! it has so much potential! theres a landing at the top of the stairs that we WILL be turning into cushion heaven, tho so far its been a storage place for boxes..and rather dusty and cobwebby.
~ enclosed alleyway is so fantastic since it usually means that we dont have to lock our door during the day. still have to meet our (townie) neighbours but theyve not been a problem thus far. rather loud at times (which im at present attributing to the hockey playoffs...), but bearable. will have to get used to the traffic noises outside my window (cuz we're located RIGHT in the heart of downtown kingston) but i'll categorize it as ambient noise(in my mind) and hopefully it'll not bother me too much in the future.
~ so the apt is still in a working state: there are boxes in odd places, furniture that needs to be turned upright, places that need to be wiped, and carpets that need to be deep cleaned..vacuumed...something process that i cant remember right now but ive been blathering on about for the past week! duno how they lived..its so gicky. the carpet turned 3 shades darker after i ran the vacuum over it several times. it was quite appalling. Ly rocks cuz she cleaned so much stuff already before i moved in (for spring term). so am now slowly rearranging my room, unpacking and cleaning other parts of the house. its a slow process.
~ things that are FABULOUS about our apt: our "neighbours" downstairs in the bistro. i went with Ly downstairs to the bistro to get our mail(cuz its delivered there for simplicity sake) and met one of the workers there. Michael: so very nice, friendly, gay, and FABULOUS. he is just so cute, if youve ever watched Sex and the City, he acts just like Standford Blatch. meeting him for the first time, he proceeded to tell Ly and I about his evening at the opera with his partner...richest people in kingston..yada yada...good food...yada yada...very talented singers...yada yada...and painted a very vivid picture of all the fabulous gowns and jewellery some of the women were wearing. as Ly said, he couldnt have made a better first impression/ put on a better show for me. i love him, he is fabulous :D
~ OUR LOCATION is absolutely unbelievable(i'd use fabulous again, but i think im exhausting the word)! we're SO close to everything. shoppers the literally across the street, as is zellers. business depot is down the street, food basics isnt too far from that. the hospital is one street behind us, in case Li falls down the flight of concrete stairs (knock on wood) ;P, and very yummy restaurants/eateries all around. i love it!! the only bad thing is that campus is a full 15 min walk at a brisk pace, and there is no free parking - so you park on the street and feed the meter, or park illegally and plead to the judge that you are a poor student and cant pay when you get ticketed :D Still have to figure out the bus route since it runs RIGHT by us and takes us to campus directly...but i have another month to go and with the gorgeous weather now, i'd rather walk.
~ Spring courses: one of my profs is so FANTASTIC. she explained stuff with such clarity that i wonder why she didnt teach during the fall/winter term. im very happy with her...should be a good course.
~ finally an econ prof that is NOT asian. hes pretty. young, tall, British :D ...without the accent but with english tendencies/phrases/examples. quite enjoyable.
~ Kingston in the Spring: WHAT is with all these lil highschoolers wandering around? im sure theyre here for some sorta program cuz they have this flourescent lanyard/keychain hanging from their pockets. but..so annoying. well mostly cuz my classes are in maccory and the computers in there are always taken up by them such that i cant check my email in between breaks...hmm oh well. once again: why do the little girls look so skanky?? already! so sad. no older than 16 i would guess. it boggles the mind.
~ stupid insects! theyre like ants thatve developed wings and theyre EVERYWHERE! i guess its worse now cuz it just rained the night before but..yech! you never know where they are until you walk thru a whole column of them - flying around your head, and youre swatting the air like some mad woman. theres a good reason why ive never gone camping, nor have any real desire to. id get eaten alive. i loathe all those that i cant shoot dead with an arrow. bring on the pesticide.
~ been given the key to the boyz house and have been cleaning out their fridge! i know you guys read this! youre all insane..theres so much stuff in the freezer! but not much in the fridge...so unless you were all planning to have a BBQ sometime mid-june, s'all gone. woulda sent out an email but well...lazy so you can learn about it here. *smile* the house is so empty..its so depressing. but at least you know no one's broken in! so yay! for you.
s'all for now. dont expect anything exciting much will be happening here anytime soon. will be back in TO for some weekends but other than that..need to clean/organize house and study! midterms are in 3 weeks..insanity! but yes, do email me cuz that will likely be the highlight of my day :P

oh. so theyre NAKED?!
hahaha! walking to my econ 7pm exam, i was greeted by an "awesome" sight: three streakers ran past the arena (where the exam was held). one was lagging behind the other two..poor guy, we were saying how he was gonna get caught - tho none of the security ppl made any move to run after them: "im not running after a bunch of streakers". haha the guard greeting us examinees was funny. hmm..i had no desire to lookit their giblets (hee Scrubs)... does that make me abnormal? "hmm right so im gonna look at my notes now" as they came closer. cool sunglasses tho- bright, orange, Oakleys, ShInY. others were black..something..meh...
well the ordeal was weird mostly cuz
-7pm!! uh..sunlight? boy they sure are proud of their bodies
-thats a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG road that they were running. where did they come from? no nearby houses...school buildings everywhere..i dont get it. mebbe they were out for a jog and got too hot?
-tho there never is a good occasion for streaking...why would they do that before the game? the Leafs didnt even win yet! no thats not even it...it was just a weird time for them to streak.
sooooooooooooo...with THAT lovely thought running thru my head, i went in to write my exam.
heh. silly boys and their joysticks. you all amuse me so very much :D

oooo old songs. one hit wonders. gotta love them. doesnt help that i cant remember song titles, or singer names, or the time when they were a hit. i just know these songs. anyhooo....Donna Lewis: I love you always forever
Feels like I'm standing
in a timeless dream
of light mists
of pale amber rose
Feels like I'm lost in a deep cloud
of heavenly scent touching
discovering you.
Those days of warm rains
come rushing back to me
miles of windless summer night air
Secret moments shared
in the heat of the afternoon
out of the stillness
soft spoken words
say it say it again
I love you always forever
near and far closer together
everywhere I will be with you
everything I will do for you
You've got the most unbelievable
blue eyes I've ever seen
You've got me almost melting away
As we lay there under blue sky
with pure white stars
exotic sweetness a magical time
say it say it again
Say you'll love love me forever
never stop never whatever
near and far and always
and everywhere and everything
Feels like I'm standing
in a timeless dream
of light mists
of pale amber rose
Feels like I'm lost in a deep cloud
of heavenly scent touching
discovering you.
Those days of warm rains
come rushing back to me
miles of windless summer night air
Secret moments shared
in the heat of the afternoon
out of the stillness
soft spoken words
say it say it again
I love you always forever
near and far closer together
everywhere I will be with you
everything I will do for you
You've got the most unbelievable
blue eyes I've ever seen
You've got me almost melting away
As we lay there under blue sky
with pure white stars
exotic sweetness a magical time
say it say it again
Say you'll love love me forever
never stop never whatever
near and far and always
and everywhere and everything

updating more this time 'round
ok so disturbing fetishes aside, this is just sick: BS in all her glory? or well, maybe not. while he does look feminine, he could prolly pull off the nick carter look (from backstreet boys). ah well too bad.
this is pretty damn interesting too: korean transgender who's HUGE right now and this is actually how she makes her living. ok for the record, im NOT closed minded but its just so very odd how accepted she is right now. dammit, she looks better than a REAL girl! although arguably, it is mostly cuz she WAS moulded and handcrafted by plastic surgeons. but still..thats just so wrong..
stupid msn messenger is PISSING me off. first it tells me to update to ver 6.1, then it refuses to automatically update, so i uninstalled 6.0 and am d/l from the site directly. freakn hell its taking WAY too long for the download. wassup with that!?! 20% in the last 10 min! and then have to reinstall everyting again..and why is it MANDATORY to install the newer version anyways??? what if i LIKE the old version?? how bout if im sentimental about these things and wanted to KEEP it?! blah who am i kidding, this better be worth my while. frick
and messed up my own computer. damn genius im telling you. well, started out with me running out of HD space (pfft, so waht else is new. i need my downloads, ALL of them) so i started deleting things ie programs. see, i figured, since i use media player to play all my dvds anyways, whats the point of having a program to have it play dvds SPECIFICALLY?? (intervideo? and another one). FRICKN, now some codec files are missing so Real player doesnt play and THAT means my freshly downloaded Sex and the City:season 4 WONT play cuz it ONLY plays with real player. so FRICK.
or well, perhaps its a blessing in disguise since this means i cant use it to procrastinate and watch ALL of it in one sitting. and will have to repair my mucked up computer (re: msn, codec, LOTS of other misc screwups, yada) AFTER exams, in which..i get to bug Alexer to fixy-fix (in exchange for the safe return of his precioussssss movies currently residing on my table, collecting dust ;P ) hee. no im not mean. FRICK. finding other means with which to procrastinate. will fail for sure.
study! macro! cant fail this(i know, conflicting thoughts eh?). nor stats...now that i think about it, i have ONE day to study for it??? hmm...Well, am currently drinking a HOOJ mugful of coffee in hopes of staying up tonite and working thru econ. lessee if it werks.
procrastinating now...laterz

time to update. it really has been awhile.
(point form cuz im LAZY)
- currently waiting for liane to get outta the bathroom cuz i forgot to take my contacts out while i was in there
- been working out at the gym: rowing machine and the eliptical (soemthing soemthing, i have no idea what that thing is called). getting better and not loosing my breath as soon; muscles dont hurt afterwards. good good
-staying here for the spring term. taking econ and english for 6 weeks. damn stupidness. elitist Queens doesnt believe in transferring marks, only the credit. WHO CARES?? i need my marks. was gonna take it at UT but nooooooooo i cant cuz it wont count for marks. and no correspondance either. well not for econ anyways so if thats the case, might as well stay here.
-want to participate in the Ontario Summer Games this july for archery. it'll be my last yr (21 and under). need to find some place here to practice. else it'd be hard core training when i get back mid-june
- what am i gonna do about job??? cant find a job here. "oh thanks for hiring me, and btw, i'll be leaving in about 6 weeks...and what with the last week being exam period and all, youll really only get me for 5 weeks. thanks again" yea.. no, thats not gonna work. finding a job when i get back to TO, then i gotta compete with all the lil highschoolers for retail jobs, or i can work as a waitress and pour stuff on people. whee. fun. "sorry sir, i REALLY didnt mean to pour the piping hot soup on you". riiight. great.
- trying so hard to concentrate and study for exams. drifting...mind wandering when i try to study. so really, i read a passage and drift off for about 15 min. how productive am I?? screwed. seeing a academics counsellor tmr so hopefully she can give me better tips on effective studying techniques.
- am REALLY enjoying these albums: Maroon 5 - songs about jane; nelly furtado - folklore; the italian job OST
- want to go to the castle but have a feeling that itll prolly be 3rd year summer if/when i go. and in that case, it'll be for just travelling purposes and will be taking bird courses so that i'll be eligible. mmmmmmmmmm english accents ;)
- watched "bend it like beckham" last night with Li and Ly and Em (every now and then). i was the only one who thought Joe (their coach) looked ugly, even when he appeared with the white shirt to their wedding celebration. just ew. squinty eyes and kinda...horse face? jaw? blah blah. i'll stop, im being mean. a brief shining moment however, during the end when he was in all white playing cricket with the father and the airplane motion. that was cute.
-> also found out a bit bout different english accents. tho i did know that there were class systems built around different accents. apparently every time we mimick an english accent, we are doing the..cockney (SP SP!) accent. so yar..interesting
moving on
- have found the BEST place to study in the library. stauffer. 3rd floor. its great. so quiet and enclosed in a little room so i can pretty much leave my stuff there without fear that someone can just grab it passing by. theres only a couple of people in there at a time and yea..seems very secure. HUGE windows, leather couches, these cushioned chairs with a lil desk dealy that swings out (think lecture hall seating). love the ambient sounds.
- recently acquired a laptop (retired. and with good reason). heres the kicker. TOTAL HD space: 2 gigs. nice eh? LOL. oh well, this restricts me and thats good. cant download anything but will allow for sufficient storage of mp3s (MUCHO IMPORTANTE ;), and applications. theres so much CRAP on it now and im just gonna reformat the entire thing. so annoying, will have to sift thru so much garbage to determine what files are important enough to floppy it. "oh in deleting stuff? use your best judgement and save waht you think looks important" HA! yea right. erasing everything it shall be. haha the deal was, if i buy a network card for it, i get to keep it for the remainder of my undergrad career. so i did, and i am. sweet deal. i like free things.
-G test coming up in may. after exams, will go back home and unlearn my bad habits with an instructor. i dont check my mirrors enough, or at all usually. you know how you just get the feeling that theres a car beside you? you look and sure enough, there it is. so whats the point. well i do check, usually on the highway cuz cars are approaching too fast.
- need to think up a good response for "whats up wit da whack, yo?" hee. funny. im so yellow. post if you have good suggestions.
- a good way to take out frustrations. heh, addictive. i only got to 500 (ish..forget..) one time.
s'it for now. sleep (hopefully). gym. study. i cant believe its only tues..feels like forever. and only another 1.5 weeks to go. time would pass by so much more quicker (quickly?) if it werent for the studying of exams. yick.

"I can handle it, honest. No, I've had this much to drink before and been fine, dandy. Hang on ... No, I'm all right. Don't worry about it. I don't throw up when I'm drunk." Cue technicolor yawn, chunky pastel efluvia being expelled in rhythmic croaks and gushes.

FINALLY FINISHED MY STUPID ESSAY!!! (YESTERDAY)
holy COW was it painful...and then it got more endurable...and near the end i couldnt find a good/less abrupt way to end it so i said screw it and concluded it the best way that seemed fit. heh. 12 pages + 2 sentences. 5:30AM. i rule :) so im free!!!!!!!!! until monday when i have to do my stats assn but thats worry for another day.
I LOVE MY FRIENDS. YOU ROCK MY SOCKS. ::grin:: I've had SO much support and encouragment from everyone during these last two weeks when ive been in complete agony over the stupid essay. im just grateful that everyone's still all talking to me after all my bitching and moaning and screaming (sometimes at them). even those who've endured me OVER MSN for crying out loud. i feel so very lucky and fortunate to have found you all. true, a lot of people will say "oh yea im your friend" but when it comes down to the heavy stuff, most will be like "ohh shes in one of THOSE moods", turn tail and walk away. not that i expected anyone to actually do that...no, but it was touching to know that theyll go the extra mile and ASK how im doing, knowing FULL WELL that i'll start bitching again. so, thanks for ALL your suggestions and comments. thank you further for sharing my pain...well, your empathy was VERY MUCH appreciated. i feel loved. go you. :D
today was GOOD. went Yum Cha with family, went shopping for .5 hrs (before teh stores closed) and got a haircut! no...actually the haircut pissed me off. need to get a new stylist..or go to a new salon. stupid guy. the way i figure it, hairdressers CANT ASK for more than when the customer says: oh i feel bored with my hair style..do soemthing different but not too drastic with it. idiot guy gave me the same style. cut off some hair, kept my length and refused to do more. i was like..ok what about some long bangs? short bangs? FINE can you just take off some more from the top/bottom cuz it doesnt feel/look any lighter. laziness said no to that too.."oh then itll be too poofy and your hair'll stick up". the fuck. so hes outlived his usefulness to me, must discard now. mebbe i'll try a salon run by white people next time...and fork over a lil more moola for a more different hairstyle. at the moment, gotta wait for more hair to grow back first
drank some chinese herbal medicine-y mixture..surprisingly sweet. i'll take it.
sleep now. as ive calculated..ive slept about 10 hrs in the last 36. go me.

im out of my rut. i researched some more stuff...looked up some quotes..read some passages..i should be good to go. now, another all niter with this stupid essay and i will finally be rid of it once and for all. too bad it cost me so much. too bad i forgot how to write essays consisting of more than 5 pages. too bad i didnt start it earlier. then again..what else is new.
ive decided that i really need to go to those career centers, student services, study workshops, you know what im talking about..all those. i so have no idea what i want to do - next year, the rest of my life...so depressing, but comfort in knowing that im not alone.
i am going to study at the library every day. no matter how few the hrs. 1 hr spent here is like...4 hrs spent at home. its just a waste of time there. i need/want to do well on my finals. ive gotten really good marks on my assn's, screwed up midterms (im sure, i still havnt picked them up yet..very scary), and so to redeem myself i will have to exceptional on finals. will study. make me study! (yes you, this is all on YOU). hmmm study buddies for the library? thatd be cool...or would that be more counterproductive?
anyways, have spent about 4 hrs now at Douglas library and am starving...tho shouldnt be..or who knows..still sick, sniffly, coughy, and now my eyes hurt-prolly from lack of sleep and also likely from staring at the puter screen.
hmm will stop by shoppers and buy another box of kleenex..its disgusting: i went thru close to half a box since yesterday afternoon. thats insanity. then..i am sick. 3 ply still doesnt cut it. feels like sandpaper. now so more then before.
going HOME tmr!!! 230 bus. cant wait. real food other than canned soup and pseudo meat. i want my mommy. odd, every time i end up sick i want my mom. a hug or a kiss or some weird chinese concoction she mixes up cures all. or mebbe its just the presence of MOM :) well, will see her soon.
homeward bound. shoppers, then food, then essay. you WILL be mine. grrr..

over at the guys house because ive decided that my room was just too depressing to write in. after staring at my computer screen for a whole week now without so much as written a paragraph, i decided to change the scenary...that is, i stole alex's laptop and relocated myself to: first the library and now at 530AM, in their living room. still all alone with everyone in the house fast asleep. hmm....blast the tv? nono thatd be too cruel, not everyone can do all niters.. hee. different company. and no evil bed calling me to it best of all.
commerce essay coming along swimmingly, still taking annoyingly longer than i had anticipated. well...this is the short one..next comes the one ive been having writer's block over. i want to have it DONE!!! hate history. so many dam facts. the more you look, there more there is to look. crap.
anyways, back to work
