End of my varsity year, and start of trying to find something to do with my summer. At least I seem to have the someone to do part covered.
As the snow flies Well on a cold and grey chicago morning Another lonely baby child is born In the ghetto And his mother cries Because if there's one thing that she don't need It's another hungry babies mouth to feed In the ghetto
2nd November 2000
Okay, I left off in a DAMN weird place last time. Actually, at a point almost exactly a week ago.
Okay, Friday had a VERY crap exam as it's major feature. Fortunately the day was somewhat redeemed by the great date I had that evening. Yay for human electric blankets - now that has to be a reasonably fresh way of inducing the "too much information" response from the readers. Okay, I could throw in some graphic details, but this isn't THAT kind of web site.
Saturday I should have been catching up on the sleep I missed in the night before, but I wasn't. I was finding reason to avoid study for the exam I was to have on Monday. In the evening I watched The Craft with Amy, and ate LOTS of crap food. All was good, till Amy left and I was stuck babysitting till damn late - thus last times screwy entry.
Sunday was a mixture of study, TV and Final Fantasy V (the original Super Nintendo verion). And that was about it.
Monday's exam went quite well, I feel I may have got me a B. Then in the afternoon I had a very pleasant surprise visit - that injected something approximating romance into what may possibly be considered the relationship I'm in. So it was muchly a good day.
Tuesday, i got talked into taking a week pass for Les Mills, then walked around town delivering some more of my 21st invitations. I have about half delivered now. I also had a tarot reading done, which was pretty cool. I think i shall have to let Vishala practise fortune telling on me more often - it was fun.
Yesterday I did about 90 minutes on the weights machines at Les Mills with a personal trainer, which was pretty cool. And the rest of the day was pretty uneventful. The only other big bit was putting games onto Rob's computer to keep him busy and out of Nina's hair.
Today I stuffed around before going to lunch with Becky, Kez and my partner - who only made a cameo walk through. After me, Becky, Kez and Raj did a touch of window shopping and then I headed home, via a long chin-wagging session with Nina. And that's about my day.
Today's song quote courtesy of nowhere, I'm listening to it as I write. Damn Natalie Merchant and Tracy Chapman duet well.
Ophelia was a bride of God A novice Carmelite, In sister cells, the cloister bells, tolled on her wedding night Ophelia was the rebel girl, A blue-stockinged suffragette Who remedied society between her cigarettes And Ophelia was the sweetheart to a nation overnight Curvaceous thighs, vivacious eyes Love was at first sight, Love was at first sight, love Ophelia was a demi-goddess In pre-war Babylon So statuesque, a silhouette In black, satin evening gowns Ophelia was the mistress to a Vegas gambling man Signora Ophelia Maraschina Mafia courtesan Ophelia was the circus queen, the female cannonball Projected through five flaming hoops To wild and shocked applause To wild and shocked applause Hey, he-he-he-he-hey, Ophelia was a tempest, cyclone, a god-damned hurricane Your common sense, your best defense lay wasted and in vain For Ophelia'd know your every woe and every pain you'd ever have She'd sympathize and dry your eyes Help you to forget And help you to forget And help you to forget Ophelia's mind went wandering You'd wonder where she'd gone To secret doors down corridors She'd wander them alone All alone

Okay. In the last week I've done very little. Saturday I went to Marie's 21st and then did some dancing with the old-ball-and-chain. It was a fun night. I'm quite getting into this whole being spoken for thing.
Sunday I was all hayfevery and playing final fantasy all day.
Monday, ditto.
Tuesday I went into the gym and spent a couple of hours playing on the machines, having fun, and checking out the eye-candy.
Wednesday (yesterday) I had a workout with Beau, a gym instructor at Les Mills with a bit of a sadistic streak. He made me keep going until I just plain couldn't grip anything anymore. I spent the whole afternoon completely unable to reach across myself, I could even touch my shoulders till this morning.
Okay, today I started to freak out over my chem exam. It the day after tomorrow and I still know practically nothing. And my study break to visit Nina today stretched out for AGES, though was lots of fun. We went to see Boot Men at the movies. It's a fun movie, even if not particularily good. Dang, I have to learn how to spell.
Thrill of the day was seeing a big nasty spider with a red U-shape on its back crawling over the grape boxes behind the Gardens New World. I SO wished I had a jar so I could catch it and give it too my mother.
Anyways, I have serious study to do, so I can scrape though in this exam.

Long time, no seamonkey.
okay well, 10th of November I spend in deep study.
11th in an exam and then have a hot and dirty night with the ball-n-chain.
12th - started playing Final Fantasy VIII on mum's playstation.
Monday the 13th, work and playstation.
Tuesday the 14th, work, playstation and Becky's party. Came home on the bus which left Musselburgh at 11.56pm. The driver had locked the till so the ride was free :o).
Wednesday the 15th, the Holy day of rest (ie. LOTS of playstationing). Oh and of course - it was Buffy night. Yay for Buffy. I think I'm in luv with Faith.
Thursday the 16th, playstation, work, lunch with the ball-n-chain, came home and made jelly, took jelly mold to neighbours housewarming, played trivial pursuit and got to bed well after midnight.
Friday the 17th. Ummmm, I spent the day waiting to be rung about work and then had me a nice quiet date.
Saturday. Ummm, I don't remember having done anything. the day was probably consumed by playstation. Sunday the 19th, ditto Saturday.
Monday the 20th. Work for a few hours and comp geeking.
Tuesday the 21st and today. Web geeking.
I saw the COOLest flat today, so if we can find extra ppl, me and Karen are SO gonna live there. We just need two more ppl.
Shameful thing is how few ppl have RSVPed for my 21st. But then considering how many invites I have left to deliver.....
I'm kinda worried about who some ppl are gonna bring with them though. I should have been clear and said it was invite only, and not let Andrea bring a partner......
okay, that was harsh, I should stop before I offend anyone other than she.
