today i was wasting time. so i drew myself as a cartoon. wasn't sure how it'd turn out, but hey i'm pretty pleased! it took ages caz i did it on ms paint. i got too lazy to do a bod, so i'm just a floating head for now. i really should get photoshop, it would have been a lot easier...
i used to draw so much stuff on the computer when i had ridiculous amounts of free time. *sigh* one day...
dunno where this pic came from, but it's scary. i hate all mascots.
merry belated christmas! hope everyone had a good one!
one of my gifts (while actually two of my gifts because my grandma and my parents got me the same things) were the last two books in the twilight series. ya, i still like em a lot. i read 300 pages yesterday :) my folks also got me a book with photos by simon annand of theatre actors in the last 30 minutes before they go on stage. the images are pretty neat. another book i got was 1001 movie to see before you die. thanks to my film classes and workin in a video store, i actually have seen a nice chunk of them! i think i probably will try to go through them, might as well. or at least the ones i want to see. apparently everyone knows my love of books and coffee, because i got a chapters gift cert and 3 starbucks gift certs lol.
christmas eve was pretty good, we all ate too much, went to church (which was boring), and played cranium (my team kicked ass).
my sister and i watched some episodes of how i met you mother before we went to bed that night, actually a really cute show. the guy from forgetting sarah marshall is in it, so is neil patrick harris, and the band camp girl from amercian pie. (i'm awful with actors names and too lazy to look them up).
so, next up is new years! not sure what the plan is there yet, but i'm assuming it's going to be a good one.
oh p.s: craig and i totally got kelsey to name her cat grafty....which is short for skin graft....lol i don't know if this is funny or sad, i'll go with hilarious.

it's official! i'm the whitest color in the mac makeup rainbow.
this picture has nothing to do with anything, i just like it. i saw it on upon the mountian top
ugh. i failed so hard, so many times today... and it's only 3pm.
1) i get a call at 10:30 from work "lauren, where are you?" -shit, i thought i didn't work today. i toss on some clothes and run out of the house five minutes later to catch my buses 2) i forget my cell at home -i can't tell them i'm on my way 3) i show up at 11:30 - i'm an hour and a half late for work 4) my owner is there -since she's there and it's slow, they cancelled my shift 5) they tried to call me but since i flew out of the house so fast and forgot my phone, they couldn't get a hold of me
so i said that's cool whatever, i went shoppin in os and then the mall. here come some more fails:
6) clumsy me dropped a ring at aldo and it broke...i didn't say anything though lol
7) after buying some stuff at the mall, i waited for my bus to come, it was late so i took a different one -i forgot a bag of mine on the bus. fuck.
so i officially failed 7 times in about 3 hours. a new record perhaps? my head has just not been on right the past week. my god.
edit: FUCK YA! SUSAN FROM WINNIPEG TRANSIT I HOPE YOU HAVE THE MERRIEST FUCKING CHRISTMAS! susan (the lady at lost and found wpgtransit) called the bus and asked if the driver could protect my bag! and i will have it in about an hour!! lets just hope i don't fail yet again and miss that bus lol.
excuse me while i go listen to queen "don't stop me now!"
i think it's funny and a little bit sad, how when i'm doing shit all in my room, aka reading or on the interwebs, if i hear what i think is the garage door opening, i quickly panic. for fear that i forgot to do a chore i was asked to complete. lol my heart skips a beat on a regular basis.
it's because i forget to listen sometimes.
yesterday was all kinds of ridiculous. my brain was in a whole other universe. i think i started dozens of sentences that were left unfinished about thoughts i didn't realise i was talking about out loud lol. again, i think part of my problem was forgetting to listen when people were telling me what to do. after work my bosslady took us all out for drinks and eats at carlos and murphey's i had a lot of fun. i'd spaced out while drinking my ice tea and was singing "i neeeed someone to looove, can it beeee anyboddddyyyy???" apparently realy loud and then i caught kesley's eye just starring at me. and i went bright red and laughed until tears came. lol it was stupid. everyone got really buzzed and my bosslady broke a wine glass. i think i knew our waitress but i'm not sure. i really like my work girls.
i work all week, except christmas. not looking forward to working christmas eve or new years eve. ugh. dunno what we're doing yet for n.y.e, but i think it will be fun.
i can't find my super nintendo games, or my xbox games anywhere. i'm craving a game of tony hawk or super mario world. i just remembered i have the chronicles of narnia game too lol. sweet.
my parents decided it got too hot at night and turned the heat way down. i'm freezing. this is what i look like. yes, i'm drinking an ice cap, and yes i realise it probably doesn't help the whole warmth situation...
le brrrrrr. je suis froid.
p.s: i think this is the first year since the one piece snow suit age, that my winter jacket has actually kept me warm in -40 or colder. go espirit!
hey has anyone seen slumdog millionaire? i want to go, its playing at the globe. the globe's popcorn is extremely over priced which makes me dislike them a little. but only a little.
p.p.s: good song: wolves by phosphorescent

uhm can i have all of this outfit in real life please? k thx.
i've been listening to my queen greatest hits cd so much the past few days. my day yesterday was awful, and i just listened to don't stop me now on repeat and it brought my mood from a -12 to a +10. ya, it was that helpful. give it a try.
...guess what just came onto my ipod.........DON'T STOP ME NOOOOOOOOW
freddy sure had some chompers on him! hey has there ever been a movie made with queen songs? i would hope so! if they do so in mama mia with abba...you'd think someone would take queen out for a spin..
hmmm. i probably shouldn't. actually i know i shouldn't. but i really want this. the angel and devil on my shoulders are both telling me yes. once i found out they ship to canada for an extra 20 bones (shitty, but at least they love us enough to do it), i think i was roped in. oh noooo. it's gonna happen i can feel it!
hey internet, i'm feeling great. just thought i'd share. christmas is soon. i've finished my exams. work is picking up. i'm feeling spontaneous. i have a craving for a new pet, a fat droopy rabbit right now or a bitchy cat, i'd be pretty pleased with either! i've been listening to my music a lot more now that i have the time! i miss reading and really want a good book. i think i'm getting the next two twilight books for xmas, well maybe, thats pretty much all i asked for lol i don't need anything right now! i've noticed two book shaped packages for me under the tree, but who knows what books they actually are. i think i'm one of the few kids who get pumped on getting books as presents. i'm such a nerd in so many respects. oh well, i think i'm gonna hunt around in my basement for my super nintendo stuff this week. stellar! i also might do some xmas baking, so if i like you, be warned, i will be fattening you up for the hollidays. i hope you all are doing lovely, and speak to you soon!! x.
p.s: i was online window shopping (the only kind i can afford to do), and i'm wanting all of these:
if my gram gives me cash for xmas, i'm definitely getting the camera ^ i've wanted one for ages, plus my digital hates me right now and wont turn on. (p.s: all from fredflare.com we get lots of this stuff at my work, like ice trays and things like that, but never anything i want, bummer).
upon the mountain top. i really like this blog. it has a lot of nice pictures and quotes. most will make your heart smile.
she had a few quotes from the perks of being a wallflower. i think stef told me to read that ages ago. i did, and i remember liking it. so here are some quotes from it that i just looked up:
"I am very interested and fascinated by how everyone loves each other, but no one really likes each other."
"Sometimes people use thought to not participate in life."
"I used to listen to it all the time when I was little and thinking about grown-up things. I would go to my bedroom window and stare at my reflection in the glass and the trees behind it and just listen to the song for hours. I decided then that when I met someone I thought was as beautiful as the song, I should give it to that person. And I didn’t mean beautiful on the outside. I meant beautiful in all ways."
i might make this my summer one-day re-read. this is the book that got me into the smiths actually now that i think about it..
1) i wrote my 2nd last exam, so only one more to go! 2) got a B on a paper 3) had a really nice lunch time :) 4) work went by ridiculously fast and we sold a lot 5) i met kelseys new kitten who craig and i have named skin graft (or grafty for short because it's pattern on it's fur looks like random blotches of skin tone all over it's dark grey fur)...i've also called it sharon because i thought it would be funny.. 6) craig drew this picture of kels and i girl-talking about love and boys lol:
this weekend should be pretty great as well! tomorrow dunno what i'm doing but probably something with my favorites, then saturday i finish my LAST EXAM, and then go to a social with work pals and sunday i think i'll be recovering then movie watching!
oh p.s: i bought an advent calendar. i love cheap crappy chocolate. and p.p.s: i watched a canadian film called these girls (it was pretty crappy), and they had 24-27 yr olds playing 16 and 17 year olds. the 16 yr old was played by the 27 year old. she looked 27. it was awkward. but hey, that's canadian film for ya! which i'm taking a whole course on text term...holla! i've only seen two canadian films so far that i liked, one of them was called Last Night, which is about a group of people and how they plan to deal with the end of the world when they only have six hours left. it's cute. if you have free time and an open mind, i'd say give it a try! sandra oh is in it. i like her.
cool, so major blonde moment today. i woke up at 6 caz my dad said he could give me a ride to my bus stop at 7 so i wouldn't have to take two buses to school for my exam today. i get there at 8, and am surprised to see no one else around the room. oh well. so i just close my eyes and nap for a little bit, wake up 20 min later. stil no one. wait til 8:40 and think shit, k where is everyone. i call my dad to get him to check the online exam schedule....my exam is at 9am on thursday the 11th. not today, the 9th. LAME. lol i'm such a dweeb. worst part is, i totally checked the schedule this morning to make sure i went to the right room...and the date and time is right next to the location on the schedule, so i totally scanned right over it and never noticed.
so with all hope lost, and already out and ready for the day. i decide to just go to the mall and finish my xmas shopping. to bad the mall doesn't open at 9. ugh. so i waited around and talked to my friend andrew. i also ran into amy, so it turned out to be ok.
except in the bus shack waiting for my bus home there were about 8 little kids and they were all starring at me. really freaked me out, i hate when people stare, makes me feel so uncomfortable! normally if kids stare at me, i just stare back, but i was outnumbered! gash!
good news of the day: -xmas shopping done -jenna is hilarious because of her response: "dale, stop being such a woman." (lol sorry dale, but it was such a jenna comment i had to laugh!) -my winter coat keeps me warm (so far) -i found a clutch i like -a whap daba lou bop a whap bam boo
rooooooar! art history has been slain! heck yes. i'm not sure how i did, it depends on if i guessed right titles. we'll see. either way i don't care, it's done! two more exams and one painting to go and i'm done this term. rawr.
here are some painting by goya. they're dark and badass. he went crazy at the end of his painting career and only painted crazy dark stuff. there's one image i don't feel like posting where there's this naked monster man thing which i've heard is supposed to be him, and it's biting off the head of some person who is already missing an arm. way to be creepy goya, way to be creepy. i hope this is the kind of stuff i'll be studying next term. no more buildings. unless they're haunted. ok? ok.
update: ewwwwww. i just figured out i have to leave my house at 7:30 am to make it to school in time for my exam. whuff. why don't i have a caaaaar. complain complain wah wah wah. whatever.
art history....you have won this battle. *sigh* see you tomorrow.
next term, my art history is evil and death in art. how appropriate. my brain so doesn't function when it comes to memorizing buildings that ALL LOOK THE SAME. lame.
this weekend was pretty great! although i'm studying every spare moment which is lame.
friday kelsey had people over to her apartment. ridiculous amounts of tequila were consumed. i'm not even sure how. pre-party, i thought kelsey needed some decorations, so i made a wreath, jemaine (from flight of the conchords) and me out of construction paper [picture above] and glued (yes GLUED) them to kelsey's wall. probably not the best idea in retrospect, but, uhm...we'll deal with that later. good people, fun night.
saturday, craig, kels and i went to a thing at the wag showing the best commercials of 2008. there were some super good ones, and then there were a bunch of short films for halo3 which were lame, because they were long, and you wouldn't get them unless you played the game...aka unless you were the 1 person in the auditorium who played...everyone else was mid 40's or older..whuff. i had a good time though, even though it was super cold and thought my lungs would freeze on the walk back to the car. then i remembered, oh wait, it only gets worse. hurray.
i like this
here's one about a pinata man...so surprised i didn't have nightmares.
so it took me an extra half hour to get home today, because i took two wrong turns. sad thing is, i took the same route home i've taken dozens of times. i missed the turn off onto aldgate, then ended up on the primeter, but i wasn't sure where i was on the perimeter, so instead of taking the turn off onto st.mary's i missed it and couldn't turn off until pembina, and then had to take the long way home. i'm directionally handicapped.
plus two christmas song related fails: i just found out last year that no, mom is not cheating on dad with santa in "i saw mommy kissing santa clause"...because the dad is santa :P and i also learned that in "winter wonderland", the words are "later on we'll conspire, as we sit by the fire", not "perspire as we sit by the fire." yes, lets write a romantic christmas song about sweating in front of the fire, that would be brilliant.
sometimes, the blonde gets to me. and sometimes, the blonde gets to other people: funniest conversation during my staff party. april's bf's last name is ham, and she was listing off a bunch of first names you could give your kid to make a wicked name that's also funny, like may ham (aka mayhem). we all are giggling, then erika chimes in: "ya! or like...BOB ham!!! or Janice ham!!! they're all so funny!!!" lol, i don't think she got the joke, either way we all laughed really hard. ohhhh erika.
this is bobb bruno. he's my newest best friend. i hate mascots, but i can see his face, so he's okay. he makes me happy.
last night was my staff xmas party, it was alright, i think we were all pretty tired and not in so much of a party mood. we played cranium but got the rules messed up so some teams (including mine) only got like, two turns. it was stll fun though, people got...creative...during the game to say the least haha. i watched my boss act out "vibrate" very hilariously and a girl named erika who's the most sweet ungangster girl ever shout out "I'M RICK JAMES BITCH! IIIYAAAA!!!" over and over as "dave chappelle" lol. i ate way too much food, but it was fun, i think we're going for a karaoke night after xmas when we all have energy again.
i'm looking forward to this weekend. kels is on holidays this week so i've been able to catch up with her and on friday she's havin people over then saturday a bunch of us are heading to the wag for the best commercials of 2008. it's kind of silly if you think about it, that we're going to pay to sit in a theatre and watch advertisements. i think it will be fun though. i really should be studying for my art history exam this week/weekend caz its on monday, but i'm just so not into that, i'd rather be having fun thanks.
check out these pictures, i thought they were pretty fantastic. i found a website of them but lost the URL. basically, someone took kids drawings and decided to make them real:
oh p.s: if you like really REALLY lame jokes i have two "funny" ones for you (i personally think they're hilarious, but it seems no one else does...both involve dancing..) and if you like super offensive jokes, i have a really awful one that you'll go to hell for laughing at, but guaranteed you will laugh. ask me to tell them in real life and i will.
-i had a dream about william from stylista the other night, i don't remember any of it besides me driving a minivan and meeting him because he was crossing the street and then he got in my car -i'd forgotten how much i liked arctic monkeys -i'm excited about my christmas cards -they know me by drink at starbucks in os. oh no, i'm a regular! -i think i had a "say hello to me" sign on today, i got an unusual amount of random hellos on my break and after work. a boy with ice blue eyes started it all on my break, with full blown eye contact and a friendly hello. -all of the new things in kelsey's apartment gave me mad allergies and bad headaches today -i've decided i like my haircut -was listening to a cover of creep, guy has a great voice but totally can't say his r's, "i'm a cweeeeep" -yesterday, i got in/out of my car 3 times, and each time when i got in, the radio was playing sex on fire by kings of leon -we made killer sales this month and we'll be getting a bonus! -today, i feel accomplished and happy -...i just remembered as i typed feeling accomplished i forgot to deposit my cheque -one point life, zero points lauren
i bet that you look good on teh dancefloor, and mardy bum, by the arctic monkeys. my two favorites from whatever people say i am, i'm not.
kels moved into her apartment yesterday, it's a bachelor but it's super nice, it still has semi-separations so it doesn't feel like one big room thing. didn't take us too long to move everything up and get drinking lol. it was a good night. yesterday i worked on the alpha book and on xmas cards, if you get one from me, i hope you like it, there's an elf suit and a unicorn involved...
ouch! i cut my foot on my rug today. no idea how but there was blood gushing in all directions! aka i have a tiny cut worthy of a tiny band-aid.
the goods the bads of me: -i bought my mom something for xmas that she just commented on tonight that she decided she doesn't want anymore. seriously happens every year. i was pumped on the gift too :( oh well, i'm not returning it, i refuse! -i have a vocab exam tomorrow and do not feel prepared +studying for the vocab i did learn new words +i have ridiculous ways of studying that work. ex: baleful = to be full of menacing and evil. i remember this by thinking christian bale was in the new batman movie where it was full of menacing evil bad guys. sweet. you should here my thought process on words like abrogate. -still have to buy my sister the rest of her xmas gift -the only thing i asked for for xmas (swindle magazine subscription) has halted all subscription services right now. LAME +after my exam tomorrow i just have to hand in a paper on thurs and i'm done til the rest of my exams! -i don't have the same holiday time as my friends/family...aka no holiday time +craig and i are illustrating an alphabook, i'm working on C and D +i help kelsey move into her appt on friday/saturday and i'm so pumped for her :D +i'm determined to make it out to the wags best commercial thing this year
best plus of all, the school term is almost done, and christmas is coming! christmas is coming!
ignore the video, just listen to the song. heard it a few months back, still like it. saw it in stranger than fiction, and even though it led to a mini make out sesh involving will ferrel, it made my heart explode, it was ten kinds of sweet.
if you know any movies or books that make your heart explode, let me know. i'm surprised i have much heart left, i've let it burst too many times. but it's there. sometimes i can feel it trying to escape.
now i need to be extra lame and post two of my favorite quotes from twilight and new moon.
"Before you...my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars - points of light and reason. .... And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliance, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no reason for anything."
"I was like a lost moon- my planet destroyed in some cataclysmic, disaster-movie scenario of desolation- that continued, nevertheless, to circle in a tight little orbit around the empty space left behind, ignoring the laws of gravity."
even though i'm lactose intolerant, i sure do like my cheesy moments. well look what i've gone and done, my heart has exploded once more.
new hair. has darkness on the half you can't really see.
(this is how short i wanted to go but i chickened out!! so for now, i just have to tuck the longer layer away and i can have short hair in pictures? ugh so lame) i cut my hairs. yup, pretty much every one of them! it feels short to me, but i know its still long considering normal hair length standards hah, oh well. not sure how i feel bout it yet! i wanted to go shorter but i freaked in the chair lol, maybe next time.
sigh. i've been doing school work all day. lame. i'm so not a school type of girl. i fell way behind in one class so i have to do extra credit, i don't even know when i can fit that in. i will officially have a lack of life until dec 13th when my last exam is over. things to get done by monday night: -10 page research paper -the research for that paper -film and contemporary though essay -study for vocabulary exam for film enchante (random i know lol)
it hasn't stressed me out yet, i just don't want to do it. on the plus side though, i just finished looking up the 111 words on the vocab exam, so i'm now 111 words smarter!
last night i went to the advance screening of twilight and it was...AWFUL. so bad. like kids channel made for tv kind of movie. awful. the acting was bad, the clothing and make up was horrible, the plot sucked. everything about it was horrible.
everyone in the theatre was laughing AT it. SO BAD. it wasn't even one of those movies like lake placid two where it's so bad it's meant to be funny...sort of. this was just so so bad, and not supposed to be funny. the movie should of made me cry, which i guess it did, but because i was laughing at it.
to be honest, i knew what was coming, imdb only had it at 5.2/10, but still. they slaughtered the book. it was like watching the film on fast forward because they only showed events and none of the emotions behind it. plus edward came off like a total skitzo stalker creep. not fun.
oh not to mention we had to stand in line with a bunch of 13 yr old girls, and when they let the line open to go into the theatres, there was a STAMPEDE of 13 yr olds running and screaming, they knocked over the podium. tweens are vicious little things! not gonna lie, my heart got pumping they scared the crap out of me! little did they know there were 2 theatres so me and my group went into the one right next to the door which was about half empty unlike the other one where every seat was filled.
so in conclusion, twilight was one of the worst movies i've seen in so long. i had low expectations anyway, and the books are still great, but do not waste your time on this film.
in other news: i'm cutting my hair today! (it's a big deal for me) so wish me luck! FAREWELL!
you know that expression about ignoring the pink elephant in the room? why would the fact that the elephant is pink be a deciding factor? you would think that any elephant in your room would be highly noticeable and hard to avoid.
hmm, just a thought.
p.s: finished book 2 in twilight. i wish i could read this fast through my text books. p.p.s: i do not condone the painting of elephants, no matter how neat the picture turns out or how well it relates to my train of though ;)
i was just shutting off the lights down stairs and thinking "how sad is it that at 17 i'm still scared something will jump out at me from the dark" then "wait a minute, i'm 18." "wait...19.." i'm going senile already!
so i'm half way through book II of the twilight series, and (SPOILER..kind of..ALERT) a werewolf just showed up. its funny how when that happened i "psssch"ed the novel. caz i mean, vampires totally real, but werewolves, now that's unbelievable! haha sometimes my logic doesn't make sense. either way, i was ballin last night when i was reading the book caz something sad happened. it's sad how easy i get into books and movies, make anyone in them cry and i'm crying right beside them!
kels and i went shopping today caz she wnated to buy me a late bday present. of course i ended up buyin myself stuff too i totally didnt need. i bought some jeans, they're light wash (whoa). i havent worn light colored jeans since my favorite jeans stopped fitting in grade 12. they're pretty decent. kels bought me a cardigan type thing, it's grey (surprise surprise). i really tried to not get a grey or black one, but the other colors were icky. annnnd then kels needed some shoes and the first size they brought out was too big so i slipped them on and they fit great...we ended up buying the same pair of chucks. which craig also has. craig and i have the same jacket, just boy and girl variations. liek craig said, we're one step away from a music video. le sigh.
i'm getting my hair done on friday. i'm getting it cut. i have an idea in mind, not mega short, short for me, but about collarbone length. i think it'll look cool. plus i'm gonna go even blonder, like white blonde. i may look albino after, if so, i'll just get low lights next time lol. i'm just so sick and bored of my hair, wish me luck!
i decided this year i'm starting early! i've already bought some christmas presents! i've got my dad and my sister down which i'm pumped about. i really like my sisters gift, i hope she does too! i hate settling for gifts, i always want to get someone something they'll love. i dunno if i can afford doing friend presents this year, but i know i'll end up doing it anyway. i love buying presents for people.
i'm gonna make some sweet ass xmas cards this year. i'm determined.
we decorated the store last night for xmas. they had me on a ladder (yikes, it gets worse) tying big glass (told you) christmas balls to fishing string at the front display of the store. of course i dropped one. miraculously it didn't shatter to pieces! then when i was driving a friend home i somehow completely misjudged my distance from my car seat and smoked my body on the door frame of the car. super graceful. not only do i hate winter because of the cold, but it also plays with my weaknesses. why do i live in a place that for months, is coated in ice?! i've already fallen several times. thanks for the bruises.
i bought the 2nd book of the twilight series, i'm kinda scared to start it caz know i'll get consumed in it and i have so much school things to do right now! yikes, my finals are coming up fast and i have 3 essays to write this week. one i need to do tomorrow and one is a 10 page research paper i haven't started. ick.
i bought a WAD magazine the other day. i never fully read into the title but it stands for we'ar different. so it can be read wear different and we are differnt. i like it, good title making skills whoever. plus it's a collectable cover edition! neat!
Friday, November 14, 2008
last night i felt really good. i was happy. i didn't want to fall asleep yet. i wrote a bit in my journal. i wrote about nothing. i wrote how i had purple paint on my foot. and i wrote a poem with no rhythm. i just wanted to rhyme. then i had my pod on shuffle. and these four songs lulled me to sleep:
john bion - elephant parade belle and sebastien - the boy with the arab strap david gray - cry spoon - everything hits at once
it's funny when my pod plays the music for my mood. pssst, elephant parade is really lovely, very short, but i bet you'd like it.
i've always wanted to play the piano. i had a keyboard at my house for years, but obviously couldn't play. i was too shy/embarrassed to ask for lessons, i'm not sure why. it's ridiculous how shy i used to be. i still get shy, and now i blush, but i definitely talk a lot more now. a lot more. i would say i'm relatively outgoing, depends who i'm with. i avoid awkward situations, and i decided that i'm not going to do that anymore, because being a little bit awkward never hurt anyone, so why avoid a conversation, you never know where it may lead! i'm not going hunting for them, but hey, if it happens, i'll go with it.
on another note, i was thinking about the universe and god yesterday in my medieval/renaissance art history class. i for sure think jesus was real, there can't have been such a wide spread tale about someone who never existed could there? not saying everything said about him is true, but i'm sure person-wise he did exist. either way, that's not really my point. i got freaked out for a bit, because for such an expansive place to be a part of aka the universe and beyond...how the heck did everything come into being. obviously we've all thought this before, but i just hadn't thought about it a while, and like always it blew my mind. literally shot confetti and sparkles out of my ears. it really is amazing that we have no idea how any of this happened. who cares how the earth and it's inhabitants were created, i'm just curious about everything else. it's an infinite loop of questions that will never be answered. and i think that is pretty neat.
and now another change of subject. i'm determined to go travelling through europe in 2010, after i (hopefully) graduate. i've started saving, i'm pretty much at nothing, but i have a year and a half to save. i want to go travelling alone, i'll probably get ridiculously lost at more than one point, but i'm pretty good at getting out of sticky situations. i've put my mind to it, so it is going to happen.
p.s: i finished twilight, so now i have to go buy the other 3 books. the ending was kind of weak, but that's ok. i found what i'm getting my sister for christmas. i decided to get everyones gifts really early so i actually have money for parties and outings at xmas, and so that i don't have to murder everyone at the mall if i wait. i have to work xmas eve this year..and boxing day. oh goodness, wish me luck.
