Out With the Old
Well, Kris has departed to start a new chapter in BC. The house feels so weird. Deanna's on tour till the 12, and Kristin is moving into her dorms on Sunday. I'm going to be so lonely! It's funny; even when Kris is gone, when the phone rings it still wasn't for me. Funny, or sad? Maybe a little of both. I'm still watching the 3rd season of Alias, and I have to say, so far it's the best one. That's all that's really going on in my life. Oh, and I got an invitation to my brother's wedding, and to my chagrin it includes a guest. My mom brought to my attention the last time I invited a guest, and it wasn't pretty, so there is an upside to not bringing anyone, but at the same time, I'm tired of always having to go stag to such items. Soon enough I hope!

Veering Insanity
Well, I just wrote in my
xanga site how bored I was and other interesting tidbits, so I won't do it here, but as I am still incredibly bored, I'll write in here as well. Unfortunately, the bored mind has no
imagination. How creepy is that Asian guy in the wheelchair? His voice is soothing yet I want to rip out my hair when I hear it so he won't do it slowly. I was looking through a whole bunch...Well pretty much all of my pictures the other day and it made me miss everything, but made me appreciate the fact that I took pictures! Hmm, nothing really more to say...I will be off, and try to cure the boredom. Hey:
Cure for Boredom. Sounds like a great name for a band. Patent Pending!

Hey! You forgot your fish!
Boy, is my face red. After moaning and complaining about how bad this year has been, I realize, it's been great. A time of growth and learning about others and yourself, and figuring out that it has been a time of learning and growth.
Case no. 1 I remember a discussion we had in one of my theatre classes about swears. Now, I don't know what I was trying to prove, or who I was going to be, but I was obnoxiously saying that they only swears are taking the Lord's name in vain. If that were the case, I wouldn't not swear in front of my folks or people who saw me as the 'sweet little child'. I had to rethink a lot. That doesn't me I don't swear. Old habits die hard, but it does mean I'm conciously trying to tame my tongue.
Case no. 2 In the beginning of the year, I really disliked someone. I would come home and harp to anyone who would listen to me about why I didn't like him, and to be honest, some of the reasons were justified. He actually hated me, or couldn't stand me. And then, somewhere along the line we became friends, and I can really share with him; have honest conversations. And to think, if I hadn't grown up, or changed my way of thinking, I would have really missed out. I"m really looking forward to hanging out with him in the summer too. (methinks this may be a friend that fell from the sky!)
On a quick sidenote, Alida and I watched The Interpretor tonight, and it was smashing! I really do recommend it.
Oh, sidenote #2 Donna and I got our pictures taken with some storm troopers, Boba Fett, and Darth Vader...I'm in!

Blood Day
So this was kind of an impromptu blood day as Trevor stopped by and told me, and I decided to tag along. I figured it'd almost been a year; I might as well do it. I've decided that I will probably wait another year until I do it again. My arm aches, and not the arm I got blood taken from. I have problem veins, and in my right arm, they couldn't find one...so I've got a pretty cool bruise - just in time for the banquet. They tried my left arm (I had gone all that way) and when they found a vein (one of the 3 nurses that were helping me) she shot that needle in there like nothing else. It hurt! But after that, the blood came pouring out...it took no longer than 5 minutes...a new record for me.
In other news, Deanna has moved in and is crashing on our floor until she goes on tour and she is able to occupy Kris' room. But I must sleep; I work on the morrow and it's going to be a busy day!

Nothing of Note
I've just realized how sad my life is. Lately it's been, I work and I go to school and I come home. Or, I go to school and I come home, or to switch things up, I go to work and I come home. And what happens at home?
Nothing of note! Once again, life and society is passing me by. I think it's the nice weather that's really opening my eyes to this fact. Back at EBC, we'd be throwing a football around, or going for a walk, or playing road hockey, or just watching squirrels. Well, here, there is a severe lackness of squirrels. [
sidenote: in grade 6, I couldn't spell squirrel for the life of me.] And now what do I do to pass the time? This, re-watch Alias season one and two, re-read all the stories I've attempted to write, think of how nice it would be to start writing again, then promptly close down Wordperfect because I just don't have the inspiration. They say to write what you know...I know nothing of life, for I do not live it! I'd like to go rollerblading with someone, take a walk in the dusky hours, have meaningful conversations in my backyard, because guess what? I have one! My goal to make new friends is so fresh in my mind, but I just don't know how to do it. Maybe they'll fall from the sky?

Phew
I just returned from my last class of the year. It was probably the best one ever. I did my final scene with Marissa. I felt great after it. I have never felt that great after doing a scene. Well, except for my very first one with Mitch, but it seems I've come so far as an actor since then. It's strange how it no longer affects me that it is the last day of classes. I wonder if a switch was flipped when I moved out here or what, but I don't get the giddy feeling I always did. It could have to do with the fact that I'm not going home for the summer like I did every single year, or I was moving into a new place like last year. I'm staying in the same place, and I'm not going home for the summer. Well, there is some excitment though. Deanna's moving in with me, and Kristin MacQueen is coming up for a mission trip of sorts all summer! We're going to have such fun. Well, I should make some summer goals then.
1. Make new friends
2. Do significant work on the blanket I'm knitting
3. Expand on my fairy story
4. Don't spend so much money when I go shopping with Joya. We're really bad when we shop!!
I think that's enough...my biggest one though is to meet new friends...I think that'll be really fun!

Reasons To Celebrate
So, I looked at my drama syllabus, and this week really
is my last week of classes. I only have 2 days next week for an exam and a test, but that's it!!!! I'm so happy, I've been happy since yesterday...well uncontrollably happy. I never realize how much school made me sad, but no matter because it's almost done!!! Celebrate in my happiness, all of you
Yes!
Today I finished my theatre history presentation. Finally! That's the last big thing I had to do before summer. I can't believe it's almost here! I'll be able to go home, and see all my friends like Noley and big Jen (thus named because we had two Jen's on dorms, a short one and a not short one...big Jen and little Jen, who was later named Baby). I talked to Joya today, and we decided we were the fox and the hound. I miss that girl. And Wednesday is talk to Kristin day, so this week is just going to get better! Well, I'm going to relax now...have a good one.

Wedding Shirt
Get me the Blueprints
I just got back from the movies with Donna and Leisa. We watched The Aviator. That's a fine piece of film there. Leonardo did quite a good job. It was a long movie though - almost 3 hours- but it really flew by...no pun intended. I think the next movie is going to be Phantom of the Opera when I buy it. We were hoping to see it tonight, but it's only playing down in Canyon Meadows.
So I had planned to make spinach dip for Alida's shindig tomorrow, then I was just going to make blueberry crisp, but due to unforseable (Is that how you spell it? I doubt it) back pains, I resolved to "make" something at the Co-op. Hey, it kind of works; I'm making the money to buy whatever I'm bringing.
You know, I think that's all I can bring to the table right now.

Bobcats and Rabbits
I cannot say enough how awesome a show 'Lost' is. It just keeps getting better and better. I don't know what I'm going to do in the summer time without it. Oh, I know....spend time with
Kristin!!!!
I was talking to my mom today and she brought up the fact that a few days ago I had told her I hoped to be married before I was 25, and she thought it was a hint! Ha! I told her no, and that it might be better if she arranged someone for me. So, she's got her eye out now!
I had a dream last night, and I was hanging out with some guy after an outdoor performance of Phantom of the Opera, and all of a sudden a bobcat came and caught a rabbit right near us and walked away. We didn't think anything of it. Oh the funny happenings of a dream.
45 more days!Ciao

Crazy windy today! Today I finished the 12 page paper I had been slaving over for a work...it's the end of an era. Next thing to work on is the 30 min presentation on Canadian Theatre. Not looking forward to that. But on to much more fun things
Today, Scott and I went to Market Mall because I needed to do my taxes, and it was such a nice day to walk in. Taxes over, Scott bought a kite, and I got 2 CD's. I got KISS (The Millennium Collection) and Trooper (Hot Shots). I was looking for Gowan, but they didn't have one, and I really didn't feel like ordering it. Next month I'll look in MusicWorld at Northland, and if they don't have it I'll order it from them. Since I'm in that mall all the time, it makes more sense. After the mall trip was over, we went back to the field by Scott's place and had fun with the kite. Actually, just a little bit of fun as the wind soon carried it away. It didn't go far, and after failed attempts to throw a football at the kite to break it loose from the grip of the tree; and Scott not being able to climb that high, I learned different football moves. I can only remember two names, but at least I can do some! This weekend, I'm really going to have to work on that presentation, but today was just for me!
