PRIDE Kingston
yep, thats right, kingston had its very own pride parade today and i found out when i was nearly blasted out of my apt by some very effective speakers playing Christina's 'fighter". it was quite tame compared to TO's parade, just a bunch of ppl in colourful outfits walking down the street with ONE police cruiser leading in front and one following behind - yep, very tame. and when i say "colourful", i mean that literally - this is small town kingston afterall. still, it was interesting to see - especially since i dont think it was advertised anywhere - people were coming out of the shops, or stopping in the streets to watch going "oh, its a parade" "oh its a pride parade". the thing i found slightly amusing was that the New NDP came out as well, and held a small banner to bring up the rear of the parade. it was just interesting to see a political party siding with a group - in so far as to march in their parade, i doubt we'd ever see this in the toronto counterpart.
MMVAs
wow those were some sucky performers this year - mostly cuz i dont care for any of them. well, except for Metric but im not sure if they performed. honestly couldnt sit through that show and i just watched the red-carpet event before tuning in every now and again.
what was up with Missari arriving in two lamborghinis? he didnt even drive the second one! it just followed him there, got shown on camera, and then drove off again. um...dood, to date you only have ONE "hit". take it easy with the spending eh? nice cars tho, too bad he was in it to ruin that scenic pic.
i was kinda surprised paris hilton was there, though it may be just to promote her new song. did anybody else find her new single oddly catchy? i know i know, youre probably shocked that i just admitted to watching her new video. in my own defense, it was not planned on and i happened to catch it when flipping through MOD. anyway, the catchiness may not have anything to do with her voice/lyrics so much as it is the typical reggae music for the background tunes?beats? whats the proper term - i have no idea. ya moving on, a warning if youre actually gonna click that link though - you might not want to WATCH the video so much as just listen to it. all her writhing makes for a pretty dizzying video.
nick lachey - nicely done with the salvaging of your career. i wouldnt have paid so much attention to him - but that was before i saw his performance, and the fact that when he turned his mic to the audience and they ACTUALLY KNEW THE WORDS to his dippy little song. way to follow in Justin's "cry me a river" footsteps, seriously, nicely done. i wonder if his conversation with his managers went anything like this:
NL: "ok, so now that ive ridden that whole marriage horse till it dropped dead, what can i do now to get back into the media limelight?"
mngrs: "well, how 'bout you portray a hurt/sensitive side to win back the little girls who worshipped you before you got married?"
NL: "genius. i'll just pull a justin timberlake"
as for nelly furtado...ah how youve fallen from grace. i havnt listened to her whole album yet, but if "promiscuous" is any indicator, im not sure i want to listen to it. her music was interesting before, at least you could hear her voice, the musical instruments, etc, but now everything is synthasized and shes rapping and dancing?? im sorry but thats just something she should NOT do. i'll admit, the song has a catchy tune but it just sounds BAD when performed live - and i keep running into it on tv: letterman, leno, mmva's. its just bad all over. leave the dancing to the dancers, and with her all talent im saddened that she has resorted to such mainstream crap. oh well, whatever sells i suppose - at least she gets a new mp3 phone.
Tis the Year....for canadian artists to sell-out
so far ive seen/heard commercials for:
- nelly furtado (obviously) for rogers? or is it just mp3 phone companies? ya, so theres that
- chantel kreviazuk! awww. so there was one for CIBC, and then an actual commercial for hairdye. uh...garnier i think?
- feist for lacoste - wow she bagged a big fish.
thats all i can remember right now, but let me know if you come across any others. im not sure that i actually care that much about this, afterall, whats the point of becoming famous if youre not gonna make some moola off of it. it cant all be about the music.
now, onto more Important Things...ME
kingston has finally become hot enough for me to wear shorts and tanktops - not that i was looking fwd to it, im just saying. stating. im more of a winter person, when things (like bugs and all things creepy-crawly) are dead. however, its really cool at night and i really want to take a walk outside in the dead middle of the night, but im afraid of the crazy ppl lurking in street corners, otherwise im sure id take nightly trips to A&P (espcially RIGHT NOW cuz im outta cream and my coffee tastes like crap with watered down milk. what a waste...of coffee)
"turkey bacon is NOT bacon!" - grace (from Will & Grace) had it right. that line was from some episode that i cant remember, when she yells at Will for buying turkey bacon instead of the real thing. ANYWAY, i was walking around the supermarket and bought turkey bacon partly cuz of that line (yaya, quiet you), and cuz it really looked interesting. i suppose its one of those things that just taste better in your mind than it does in actual life. im not sure how to describe it, it doesnt taste like turkey, for one, but not quite like real bacon either (which is, apparently, what they were going for. go figure). its KINDA precooked, but it instructs you to cook it anyway - traditional skillet, or MICROWAVE (thats just so gross it needed to be capitalized). heres the disturbing bit, frying it in a skillet actually produces NO fat from the material. this depends on whether or not youve actually prepared your own bacon before, but if not, let me tell you that real bacon produces A LOT of fat; turkey bacon? not so much. kinda disturbing, but at least i know of what im NOT ingesting so i guess thats a sorta comfort in disguise. moral of the story? buy the real thing. but i guess you already knew that, didnt you? (yeah, shaddap)
in search of new, good music.
this summer is proving to be one with craptacular music. im bored with everything i have. send me stuff - to my email, my msn, a link to this blog, whatever. ive resorted to surfing indie blogs and sites in my hunt for some new sounds and while ive come up with some stuff, i cant find it anywhere. forget about torrents (which would be nice) but i mean theyre either so new, or so underground that major cd stores dont even sell them yet. searches on amazon has come up empty! thats quite amazing if even amazon doesnt have it. anyhoozle, so you either have to order the cd off their site, or scour the net looking for singles. a good place to listen, but never own, is myspace.com. i duno how it happened, but suddenly myspace has become the biggest thing in the music world. you can find any band there - but oddly, not always mainstream bands/artists.
anyway, send me music
oh speaking of indie artists, this reminds me of bedouin soundclash. i was watching the show "diary" (you can watch clips of it under "browse shows") and they were following bedouin on the days leading up to/incl. the Juno awards. so it was the day before the awards and the band was onstage doing a soundcheck and were noticing who was sitting where - like the oscars where the chairs were taped with a printout name/pic of the artist sitting there. anyway, they saw michael buble's chair and Jay kept saying over and over "fucking buble..." :D haha and that continued through to the end of the show. they never explained it but it was so funny to hear. just every now and again this contemptuous voice in the background going "fucking buble..." hehe
eh, so i think this blog has gone on long enough. i'll post other random things i notice in another post.
the rest of the world should be waking up in the next 2hrs or so, *I* on the otherhand, will be going to sleep around that time.

and they say Kingston is boring...
who wouldve thought that there would be drag races in such a small town. who knew you could even have pimped out cars here! and with cop cars circling the downtown strip every 15 min you wouldve thought that theyd have more sense, but i suppose its true when they say that Stupidity knows no bounds.
revving your engines at 3 in the morning does nothing but irritate those around you - actually, thats true at ANY time of day. it is not an indicator of your "coolness", and it is certainly not a demonstration of your manliness . go get your mufflers fixed and stop disturbing the peace and polluting my air.
i will never understand why the idiots driving past in their cars will insist on having EVERYONE around them hear their bass. yes we get it, your stereo system costs more than your car and you have poor taste in music, and when the real pimps & gangsta's from da 'hood finally hunt you down to shoot you, youll have nobody to blame but yourself.
the gaffaws of the fools, the hyucks of the idiots, and the chortles of the impudent fat-men. just shoot me now, or them - either way one of us has to go, im sorry. the world continues to baffle me and im left standing on the sidewalk dazed, stunned, and with my jaw scraping the pavement.
are you appalled? so am i.

oh i forgot to mention my fantastic discovery on my last post, but it's so fantastic that i think it warrants its very own post!
COOKING BLOGS!
being as bored as i usually am, i have a tendancy to click on blogs with interesting sounding names and while i really cant remember how i got here, THIS is what made me stay :D I havnt actually made them yet, but they look GOO-OOD.
and if you've found one cooking blog, you've pretty much found them all:
I like her and i think ive actually used a couple of her recipes but i dont remember which ones, they may have been baked goods.
And also this one - just because the instructions are so easy to follow and the pictures depict such yummy final products.
Oh and i found this one...somehow or another...and it is just an *excellent* cooking community. most recipes have a nutritional chart on the side and makes it really easy to find those healthier recipes. plus, you can save recipes to your account, the homepage automatically shows you your 'recently viewed' recipes, and you can search for recipes that have the highest ratings from others who've made it. (wow, i should be paid advertising fees. but it is an awesome site :P)
thats right everybody, my name is wnd and i am a cooking-blog addict. they is wonderful! and especially for a sad excuse of a cook such as myself, i love the fact that these bloggers have actually made the recipes theyve posted (most of them anyway) and so have suggestions, comments from others who've tried it, and scrump-diddly-umtious PICTURES! how can you possibly go wrong? you just cant! so happy clicking and cooking everyone! yay, FOOD!

it's now 4am on a sunday night, and once again i find myself unable to sleep. you wonder how im able to screw up my sleep schedule on such a tight school schedule - 9am classes everyday, and since it's accelerated, i cant skip them to sleep in either. I have no idea how i can be so talented in such matters.
anyway, i find myself really liking to living on my own. i'll admit that sometimes going for days without being to able to rant/talk to others really get to me, but i think that just pushes me to contribute more in class - which is always a good thing i suppose. i like having the whole house to myself: knowing where everything is, creating messes i dont feel guilty about, blasting my music such that i hear it from the kitchen (if only to piss off the neighbours), baking at 3am just because im bored and want to, food shopping for myself, and (even though i cant and everything turns to mush) cooking for myself.
not that i didnt love living with the girls, but im enjoying coming home to absolutely nothing - no people, no noise whatsoever. if i want anything, i have to create it - food, sounds, entertainment, or company. it is a very odd grasp at control but it is surprisingly satisfying to possess it - if only for a little while longer.
despite living on my own for only a month, ive found that my senses have been dulled (or maybe it's just my imagination). maybe i should stretch first before my trips back to TO? food sensitivity is my own fault - coffee being the strongest taste i take in. im using no salt or sauces of any kind in my 'cooking' and usually just use light seasoning, which makes everything really healthy but just very bland tasting. so of course my taste buds are shocked back into existence when i go back to TO and eat out every day for virtually every meal. though my sugar content is the same as always, so yay for me :P
have you ever gone for long stretches of time without talking to anyone, and then thrown back into everyday conversations with others and feel exhausted afterwards - even with really interesting conversations - and think that perhaps you should have done facial-expression stretches first...? ya, me neither :P
restaurants are LOUD and full of SCREAMING people.
but then again, it could just be me not being used to it seeing as how what i "blast" is classical music and you dont really have to listen to it so much as just let it wash over you. so what does that mean? i dont know...cant seem tofind my train of thought. it either has something to do with be MORE sensitive to highs and lows of sound, or that everything seems louder because youre not used to it.
oh wait, thats the same thing.
excellent. time for sleep.

OPERATIONS COORDINATOR!!!!!
I got iiiinnn!!!!! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! congratulations to MEEE!
AWESTASTIC! so it turns out that i was an "outstanding candidate" :D
so kewl so cool.
in other news. i FINALLY got my stupid laptop sleeve that ive been hunting for since DAY 1 of my purchasing the *shiny*. i hate pacific mall, and if htey didnt have everything useless you could possibly think of needing, i wouldnt go at all. so anyway, after walking to every corner of that stupid rat maze, i finally found a tiny puter store that sells these "sleeves". it was 'homemade', it was cheap, it is excellent. fits snug as a bug in a rug. i lurve it, i'd've lurved it more if i wasnt so disoriented when i finally found the store, but i lurve it nonetheless.
im also more than willing to spread the knowledge, if anybody needs a laptop sleeve ask me where that store is cuz the ppl there are super nice and they have EVERY size or else they can custom make it for you. (ya they should be paying me to advertise for them...)
but anyway you have no idea how long ive hunted for this stupid lil piece of taped together foam stitched up in nylon casing slapped shut with velcro.
ok done now.

My New *Shiny*:
Well, if getting a new *shiny* doesnt warrent a new post I dont know what will. That's right folks, I'm back after a loooong hiatus from the blog world. Did you miss me?Eeh, i figure i should update now if only to appease the masses and the lynch mobs. "updaaaate!!!" "No! YOU update!" and the sad part is? they do. damnation people, stop taking my suggestions.
anyway, back to the laptop: Toshiba M50 model - 14" wide screen, 100G HD space, speakers with BASS, and the best part being that it's BLUE!! it's my new baby. i havnt named it yet, so we're sticking with *shiny* for now. i LURVE it :D
(full specs here for those of you who piddle over these things)
sooo lets see what new attractions have been added to WndWorld shall we?
why else would i be updating unless i have disgusting amounts of work to be done right? Right. ('and for your prize, you get a switchblade') I wont bore you with the details but it's enough to make me wanna dive head first into a large bucket o' Ben & Jerry's when i finally hand in everything.
i'll be back here for spring term and next year to get into & finish off an Engrish degree. technically i can graduate this spring with Econ but i dont wanna, and i figure queens has taken enough of my money over the years such that i dont really want to pay them twice to rent the graduating robes. but, since im here for 6 weeks doing 2.5 credits ('for those of you who've guessed she's crazy, step right up to claim your very own straight jacket! brand new shiny buckles on a bleach white canvas'), i get to see my friends after their graduation ceremonies - laughing at those whose bums have gone numb from sitting for 6 hrs :D - and meeting parents i dont know and grannies with chapeaus.
so many people are doing NOVA that i might just have to go visit them in japan. i dont really know how thats gonna happen just as yet, but seems like a very possible option since everyone will be stationed at different cities. and then if im not too broke, i can "swing by" china to visit some relatives. sounds like a plan.
HOUSING!!! (AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!)
for awhile back, i thought that id have to pay double rent over the summer if we didnt manage to find subletters. since our lease goes from sept to sept, and most other leases go from may to may, it looked pretty hopeless until..........dumdumdum i got offered:
1) a room with sci'44 co-op (accepted)
2) discipline facilatator for main campus (confirmed)
3) operations coordinator for west campus (in the process of hiring)
ALL this weekend. um...wtf mate? so while it is a good situation to be in, i was actually overwhelmed by the amount of choice that i had. so after 2 days of thinking and weighing the pros/cons, ive finally decided to take #3. room&board, compensation, and i wont have to make nice with the froshies that are coming in cuz while they ask we keep an "open door policy", its not my job to deal with their problems. oh, and i get POWER..uh i mean...responsibility since it is a management position. so, cross your fingers for me that theyll hire me otherwise i'll be stuck with facilatating snot-nosed lil boys and girls ('she doesnt give a crap' is the right answer! c'mon up to collect your prize: the eye-gouger'). eh, i jest. just so you dont think me a completely terrible person, i DO enjoy meeting new people - but they better not be boring :P
and finally, subletting.
somebody needs to sign a summer lease already. and buy some furniture.
moving out is gonna be SO much fun. i dont know how ive managed to accumulate so much CRAP. its everywhere - every corner of my room is jammed full of stuff. maybe i should draw up a budget for myself next year....
well, thats all folks thanks for playing. remember to tune in next week: same bat channel, same bat time.
(ya i dunno, i think thats the wrong wording anyway. aaaaaand...one more picture :)
BLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUE!!!!

Chateau Musee rooftop in Dieppe, France
meh LAZY and damn busy with 4 essays due by monday. so, yay.
anyhoozlebeez, here are some LONG overdue pix. hope you remember the password!
went to Tate Britain for the Whistler/Turner/Monet exhibition and words cannot begin to describe the paintings i saw there. they were SO beautiful. im very disappointed i didnt try to sneak some pictures but since it was the last weekend before closing, it was PACKED to capacity. ah well, some other time...maybe at the louvre when i go to paris.
Stratford-upon-Avon for Shakespeare's Twelfth Night at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre
Glyndebourne for Mozart's The Magic Flute. It was unbelievable! and we got a backstage tour ;)
Windsor Castle was tastfully decorated with LOTS of gold (hard to believe it was tasteful eh?), and also kinda boring. someone saw the Queen, Charles, Camilla....but I didnt. and we werent allowed in the Royal residences cuz Her Majesty is a bit fussy about visitors :P
<official site>
WHOOO!! Dieppe trip was AWESOME and made me realize how sucktastic my French is. I miss pain au chocolats
Westminster Palace - sorry I couldnt get more pics but they prolly woulda chopped off my arm if i had tried (or something similar). The House of Commons/Lords part of it was cool, and nicely air conditioned. Churchill's toe was rubbed to a high shine.
<official site>
Portsmouth Dockyard for the "Trafalgar Experience". well, the ship was cool/scary/smelly and had SHORT ceilings (yes i DO realize it was a ship but people musta been VERY short back then) - although Nelson was only 4'11 so there you go.
finally, Stonehenge and Salisbury trip.
was very disappointed that i couldnt actually go touch the rocks at stonehenge, or wont be there for summer solstice
exam time already......................

Photos are up:
days 1 and 2
London
youll need a PASSWORD tho, so email (GMAIL)/msg me and i'll give it to you. im just too lazy to email everyone to let you know what it is. i figure its better for you to come to me :D
ya and password cuz there are weirdos out there that im sure frequents this blog.
ah so updates, since its been a week now, i'll just highlight some of the things that have happened:
The Plane Ride
since im a single (flier, not status :P ), i got shafted for seats and got stuck sitting in the middle aisle, in the middlemost seat. to my left was a fat and disabled man, and to my right was a couple who epitomized the snobby brit image. so yea, no moving for me cuz i couldnt always ask the fat guy to move - cuz he couldnt and cuz the seat in front of him was tilted all the way horizontal - and the couple to my right gave me such a scathing look when i asked them the first time, that i didnt dare upset them again for the remainder of the flight. bastards.
i'd never felt more restless in my life. i couldnt sleep at all for whatever annoying reason, and i couldnt move cuz they wouldnt let me.
i had complained to the flight attendants in the hopes that theyll have a free seat in first class. yea, no such luck and all i got offered was their seat near the aisle. oh well, at least they were superficially nice. and i got drinks.
speaking of food, wow such nice service from British Airways. besides the meals (which we got wine with dinner if we so choose), we got snacks and drinks every 15 min or so. compared to Air Canada, this was awesome! we had our own screens (attached to the headrest of the seat in front of us) and there were about 16 channels of movies/sitcoms/cartoon network ;) so 6 hrs passed by pretty quickly.
Arriving at Heathrow Airport
my goodness it was humid!! i was sweating like never before - mostly cuz i was lugging luggage and had my backpack on which was crammed full of stuff - and was wondering how on earth the men were able to wear three piece suits without dying from heat. since i was on the plane that arrived 2 hrs earlier than the rest of the group, i was stuck waiting for the other flight to come in. luckily i bumped into two of the guys from my floor in first year and we chatted away until we saw the organizers from the castle waving a sign around. we left the airport on the first bus to the castle - it took us 2.5 hrs to get to Herstmonceux Castle. we are literally in the middle of nowhere. well, not quite, we're 1.5 miles away from the nearest town(Herstmonceux), another .5 miles from that point to the bigger town of Halisham and 15 minutes drive away from the town of Eastborne in the other direction.
Herstmonceux Castle
there are many doors and staircases that all eventually lead to the same place. its great! a fantastic place to play hide and seek i say. its a very serene place - to read or to sit and watch nature/tour groups passing by. still havnt found the resident ghost yet, tho the castle people say that theyve never seen anything close to it in all their years of working there. how disappointing.
Classes (yes we have classes)
im taking:
British Studies - what makes the British british?
England since 1851
Elizabethan Shakespeare - studying 5 plays
all classes takes place in the castle with the day going from 830am till 1030pm. i have classes in both of those slots and some in between. no amount of coffee can keep me awake then.
speaking of coffee, its dispensed from coffee/cappucino machines and not in the pots that we're all familiar with. and this isnt just at the castle, its all over england it seems. i havnt been inside a coffee place where it doesnt come from machines - well, except starbucks - and its very odd. mostly cuz it all tastes the same.
meals are taken in the castle dining hall, but residence is about 3 min walk away in Bader Hall. just like a motel/cheap hotel where there are sheets and towels given, but no pillow mints.
oh! and COWS. there are COWS outside my window. well not RIGHT outside my window but closer to a cow than i have ever been in all my life. theyre funny looking and make amusing sounds. i wonder if this isnt the castle's personal slaughtering stash to be used in our meals. mmmmmmmm fresh meat. MOOO!! (will have to organize a cow-tipping party before we leave)
and by the same reasoning, we should also be eating duck and sheep (which we have actually - sheep, not duck)
London
is much more grimy than i thought it would be. i understand that it comes from the fact that its such an old city, but that still doesnt make the black building walls any less surprising. i guess im just used to seeing TO's shiny black buildings where none of the smog seems to stick to it. whereas here, the buildings are/were white and the dirt (smog from cars? factories?) is very noticable.
anyway, ya i love London, black buildings and all :D
all museums and art galleries have free admission which is awestastic!
English people are actually very nice - made very clear when i randomly stopped people to ask for directions.
(oh yea, i was stopping at intervals to ask for directions cuz i got lost from my group, and then lost the one other person i was walking with. so i was wandering around London by myself for much of the 3 hrs of free time we were given. it was wonderful. i love wandering by myself. ive figured that you cover more ground this way since you dont have to keep waiting for people to do their thing. and what is there to be afraid of? i dont understand. its an english speaking country and all major tourist attractions have road signs. )
Prices
absolutely ridiculously expensive! the prices are exactly the same as in canada, but instead of a dollar sign, put a pound sign in front of the numbers. outrageous.
The Globe Theatre
5 pounds to be in the pit and watch the play standing up. it was quite an experience(esp. for my legs!) and i would SO do it again! have you seen Shakespeare in Love? its exactly the same, and more awesome when youre actually standing there taking it all in. the actors were fantastic and i swear the one playing the female parts was more convincing a woman than i ever will be. he's the pretty boy i keep mentioning in my pictures. the pictures are actually quite blurry, but thats cuz they wouldnt keep still long enough for me to snap a photo. booourns.
thats about it for now. sorry it's all so incoherent. i really should have updated on a day-to-day basis instead of all at once now, but, oh well. hope you got a sense of my well being from my looooooooong blog.
next trip(s):
Twelfth Night at Stratford upon Avon
Turner Whistler Monet exhibition at Tate Britain (hopefully. im not actually in that clss)
Windsor Castle

yo doods so heres the jiggy: its 3 in the morning and i should be studying for exam the next day but, im not. surprise! betcha didnt see that one coming.
moving on...
random thoughts that keep popping into my head. and lets face it, if i dont clear my head of miscellaneously idiotic thoughts, how am i gonna cram more info into it? good logic? i thought as much. ('SHUT UP Will')
im craving some honey garlic chicken wings. or even, just chicken in general. not really sure why - mebbe cuz ive cut cow cold-turkey? (wow, thats a lot of animals ive jsut listed off...) ya, cow: evil = red meat in general. man i shoulda done this MUCH earlier...it dont even taste that good yo ('really? but thass not even yor style').
A&P lies like a rug. what ever happened to my "sashimi grade tuna"??? huh? huh!?! punk. i want some sashimi...or sushi...or jap food. but ya casper, you betta have that japfood gathering all planned out by the time i get back to TO or therell be HELL to pay! grr. arg.
seriously want to "DQ something different", but of course, cant yet cuz i dont gots anozzer person to go claim this with me. but ya, go get yours.
speaking of free things, go get some newly renovated, mucho absorbancy product curtesy of STAYFREE. i hear its good for mopping up kitchen spills.
stupid contractors (?) honestly need to get a move on. its been 1.5 yrs now since the bar was supposed to open and this summer isnt gonna be any different. it was slated to open this May, but, snot. how much longer is this gonna take??
i need to learn how to play pool, and start hustling for money.
what else. oh ya, my mp3 player STILL sucks major ASS. like, monkey ass. sucks more than my sexist prof who favours guys in her class and ignored me while i was asking her questions during her office hours (honestly now, WTF kind of attitude is that? go to a bar - like say Cocamo - and pick yourself up a lil 20yr old somethin'somethin' and stop taking it out on the rest of the female population. frick woman, do your job!). right, mp3/cd player: damn thing now skips playing REAL cds! 'holy crapola batman, thats quite a piece of junk you bought yourself! you dont say robin.'
i have no resolution to this problem cuz im now DIRT poor having paid stupid queens tuition for england.
i really hate admin people. theyre idiotic and all they know is how to transfer you to different departments. "oh well, if you go across the hall there, that kind old lady will take care of you." ya well that kind old lady sent me to see you in the first place!
"oh we'll give you your letter of confirmation once youve paid the min. downpayment."
"sorry, cant release your award until we get that letter of confirmation"
WTF??? IT'S.A.CIRCLE. and its just gonna keep going round and round till somebody does something. so what was done? ME paying THEM. it's all about money. obviously ('silly girl, tricks are for kids'). i better be enrolled in my classes, have the roomie i requested, and be LET INTO THE UK! pfft. letter of confirmation.
customs: "so young lady, what brings you to the UK?"
me: "oh well, you know, business is just so slow over in canada that i thought i'd try my luck in the red light district here, in the UK. that and sell some hard drugs in my spare time"
(im really not sure why all my money-making schemes always end up with me prostituting myself and selling crack. well, im sure dr. phil will be able to help me soon...any day now)
england: land of...prince william. why else do you think im going? :P
so yes, going to queen's castle in east sussex for a period of 6 weeks to complete 3 elective courses and travel europe afterwards. its gonna be FLY. MUST go to paris and recyle any french i MAY remember from my high school days and wow is it ever going to be brutal. but since (from movies as reference of course) parisians hardly ever utter a word and only raise their ONE eyebrow oh-so-haughtily to deliver that patented look of disdain, i figure i'll fit right in. mums the word....now if i can only muster that one eyebrow thing, im set.
cant wait till the 27th at noon when its all ovar!! raaaaaaaar. done done done and oh so free!
was into some punk a lil while back and managed to procure myself a coupla kickasstic bands. not all of them are punk - there are some other mellow stuff - but it was a phase. and GC is NOT hardcore punk, so dont kid yourself :P i'd likely put them in the same category as avril, or kelly clarkson now that avril has so obviously gotten to her. anyway, checkit out:
(if theyre not narrowed down to an album, then i havnt actually narrowed them down yet. 'elementary, my dear watson!')
The Postal Service
Catch 22 - Keasby Knights
Fugazi
Propaghandi
Gorillaz
The Verve - Urban Hymns
Tegan and Sara
oh and Frank Sinatra
('oh and Hugh Jackman' 'but Hugh Jackman's wolverine. how dare he')
and the long overdue random picture of the day:

What Type of Killer Are You? [cool pictures]
brought to you by Quizilla
Your element is Fire. Like fire, you have a hot
temper and you can be warm and loving as well
and angry and wild. It all really comes down to
what you are feeling. You have a lot of close
friends who you are very protective over, and
with your temper probably some enemies too. You
are not Miss Popular in school since you are
your own person and don't want to be forced
into behaving this or that way. You are the
untamed wild horse, the kind that everyone
wants to catch. But you don't want to be tied
down for the moment and just keep going with
your little crushes. Your will is strong and if
you set your mind to do something, you will
most likely succeed. But beware, your friends
may not always accept your mood-swinging
behaviour. Even if you don't mean to be mean,
they can still feel hurt. You just need to
start thinking some things through before you
do them, and not always jump in with so much
courage. One day you may be hurt because of
that, but then again, your element isn't fire
if you start to analyse situations before you
act. After all, your nature is to shoot first
and ask the questions later.
What is your element? [with pics + 7 outcomes + detailed answeres!]

You are 'Gregg shorthand'. Originally designed to
enable people to write faster, it is also very
useful for writing things which one does not
want other people to read, inasmuch as almost
no one knows shorthand any more.
You know how important it is to do things
efficiently and on time. You also value your
privacy, and (unlike some people) you do not
pretend to be friends with just everyone; that
would be ridiculous. When you do make friends,
you take them seriously, and faithfully keep
what they confide in you to yourself.
Unfortunately, the work which you do (which is
very important, of course) sometimes keeps you
away from social activities, and you are often
lonely. Your problem is that Gregg shorthand
has been obsolete for a long time.
What obsolete skill are you?

Your wise quote is: "Fashion is a form of
ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter
it every six months" by Oscar Wilde.
You are a very sarcastic person with a sharp
tongue. You may not be the one always talking,
but your mind is nevertheless critizing. You
tend to have a cynical view on life itself and
be somewhat withdrawn with who you really are.
Society now is in your eyes corrupted and you
wonder how the world will survive. And people
are in your mind very ignorant and blind to the
reality.

i think these are quite fitting:
You are a maniac
killer.
It doesn't matter who they are and what they
have or haven't done. You still want to kill
them. And for a simple reason only; it's fun.
Seeing people in pain is like ecstasy. Maybe
you have some sort of mental problems or you
are this way because of previous deep scars,
only you know. But now you are sadistic and
maybe you only like to see a special group of
people be in pain (e.g. preps). However you are
not the most social person in the bunch and
people think you are weird. That bothers you
somewhat but atleast you can entertain yourself
with daydreaming about killing them. After all,
they have no idea what's coming.

Awesome!
 | You scored as Satanism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Satanism! Before you scream, do a bit of research on it. To be a Satanist, you don't actually have to believe in Satan. Satanism generally focuses upon the spiritual advancement of the self, rather than upon submission to a deity or a set of moral codes. Do some research if you immediately think of the satanic cult stereotype. Your beliefs may also resemble those of earth-based religions such as paganism.

Idiot people need to STOP wasting my time and effort. No. I am tired of having to make up sugar-coated excuses for you just so you can feel justified of your actions. I'll make you a recording of my lies and you can play it over and over again whenever you feel the need to hear my inputs.
I am NOT "Mary fucking sunshine" 24/7 so stop making me slap on a fake smile for YOUR sake. I'm not here to make you feel good about yourself. All is not well in the world and life sucks & blows at the same time.
Wanna feel better? Go hug someone who actually gives a fuck, because I don't.
Why are you still carrying on with this charade? Let's face it, I don't mean as much to you as you may think; stop lying to yourself. You think you have me all figured out when really, you have absolutely no idea. Loser. There will be no more chances. I am who you want me to be, unfortunately.
Bastard. How can you live with yourself? Are you sure that's all you want? All you require? In that case, all my initial good thoughts of you have been destroyed. We'll start afresh and I'll just classify you as a shallow, hollow, weak, and utterly superficial fool who will never know the true value of ANYTHING. Why? For the simple reason that it's all about materialism for you - and this includes an individual's intrisic worth. So much for virtues because you can't even recognize any of them.
Don't flatter yourself, it's not...
If you think you know then go ahead and click.
Sorry, fresh out of sincerity but perhaps you'll settle for some sarcasm...?

i must commend the music quality of the new shows that have premiered this year. while the WB produces pretty craptastic shows - with the exception of gilmore girls of course - but they have excellent soundtracks. problem is, the songs are pretty hard to find unless some fanatic of the show decides to compile a complete soundtrack.
since im waaay too lazy to limewire all those songs individually, i appreciate those hardcore and dedicated enough to do that for me :D
new show that im watching now and have a pretty good soundtrack is Grey's Anatomy. the first episode that aired wasnt...completely disappointing. there were some funny lines but the main character is boring enough to turn me off the show. potentially.
"katie brice is a pain in the ass. if i hadn't taken the hippocratic oath, i'd Kevorkain her with my bare hands."
hehehe
songs
Metisse - Boom boom ba
The Killers - Somebody told me
Dan Bedingfield - Gotta get thru this
Bif Naked - I love myself today
as featured on Grey's Anatomy:
The Ditty Bops - Walk
But all songs are pretty catchy :)
Jem - They
Rilo Kiley - Portions for foxes
The Butterfly Boucher - Life is short
the good thing about indie bands, you can always find their music online.
and of course, the random picture of the day:
"My love for iMac"
AHAHAHAHA!
