Great weekend! I don't want to write a long post just cause I'm pooped, but I'll sum it up.

Friday
- 7:30: Comedy Show with Pogooo! The comics weren't THAT funny, but there were some great moments. The drinking was accelerated due to the show though because oh man, they should not have given a drunk German heckler a microphone. My friend Evan hosted it and it was nice to see him, he is quite a funny guy and it was great seeing him doing what he loves. However, I was quite tipsy by the end of the show (9:30) and we were off to the next event!!
- 9:30: Bowling! Jay and Jonathan showed up in Jay's car and we drove to a bowling alley. Jay had challenged me and I decided to expand the party (I think it was out of uncertainty about what this challenge was really about...flirt? or competitive? hmm). Anyway, it worked out because Jay and Pogo were neck and neck the whole time and Jonathan and I just really sucked hahaha.. TO BE FAIR THOUGH, I would have played a lot better had I not been tipsy. YES, I am pulling that card because I've seen myself bowl better before!! I was really happy about the driving though, because we listened to ONLY COLDPLAY, and I am always criticized for liking Coldplay and everyone was singing the words and it was a great time.
- Midnight: GOLDEN GRIDDLE OM NOM NOM! There's nothing better than midnight breakfast. Enough said.
- Left Jay, Jonathan and Pogo to meet up with Nathan and go to Alphabot's show at Holy Joes/Reverb. Great energy that set. Interestingly enough! Evan showed up at the same show!! Saw a few people from OCAD, danced and sung and had loads of fun. Nathan told me found it weird or awkward...I can't remember which but I don't know why. Maybe because people were coming up to me to chat? *shrug* Anyway, I lost one of my favourite earrings and that makes me really sad. They were my vibrant blue ones that match my eyes :( on the plus side, I have the matching necklace around somewhere so I'll just make a new pair or something. ^___^

- After we walked all the gear back to Aarons and hung out a bit, but man I was exhausted so I was looking to pass out somewhere, ANYWHERE. Got back to Nathan's and I felt like a rag doll! Sleepy tiemz.

Saturday
- It took me aaaages to wake up on Saturday. It probably has something to do with the nonsleeping due to all the noise Friday night!!! Went to the candy store, bought Sonya and Rachel birthday gifts! Then got the train back to Oakville!
- Came home and quickly changed into a grass skirt and lei's and everything and headed over to Sonya's for her birthday murder mystery party. Everyone was there except for the people I'd rather avoid, so it was awesome!!! Rachel showed up later and we all had fun drinking and such. I did drink a bit more than Friday too... On the plus side, Rachel and Sonya have edible dick necklaces and apparently they taste greaaaat!

Sunday
- ZOOOOOOOOO!!!!
- We were supposed to leave at 10:30am but we ended up leaving around 2pm. No biggie though cause we stayed t'il close and it was such a great day weather wise! I took my camera for the first time in months! I missed my camera so much! I never take it anywhere anymore. I took like 200 pictures and they are greaaat.
- Came back around 8/9 and went swimming at dezzy's! Nathan wanted to hang out after but I told him I was busy and that I wanted to sleep. I think that was a good decision. I need to keep some distance while I think about what I'm doing, saying, thinking...

Anywho, so I'm tired and I have work that I have to be up for in 4 hours. Yay! Goodnight!!!

I know its just a dream, but you left me stranded again. Before, it was in Oakville; I feel safe in Oakville. I walked home just fine - I was pissed - but still fine. This time, it was in Toronto. I was walking home from the Scott Pilgrim set at St Clair W & Bathurst so I walked down Spadina/ Casa Loma area. I don't know my way, I just assume my way. I got tired and lost. You were supposed to have met me. You got bored of waiting and decided to go home. Your cell phone doesn't work so you just assumed I'd meet you at your house. You call me at 4am wondering if I'd forgotten about you and I'm wandering the streets lost. As much as this is a dream, its only just a collaboration of everything that happened tormenting me at once. Like c'mon! I sat outside a singly lit house on a lawn chair they were throwing out, called a cab with money I did not have and waited on a street they took forever to find. I never found my way to your house because the dream ended.



In other news, I have a sore neck from trying to sleep comfortably with an ice pack wrapped around my face. I am going to kill my parents if they do anything at all. I just want to get paid for doing nothiiiiingggg!!!

**DISCLAIMER: Ethan, you may not want to read this**



"You'd think that if someone caused you pain for so long, you should just get over them, but then you think 'well they caused you pain for so long so maybe they're worth changing for'." {paraphrasing}



I've stated this over and over. I don't agree entirely with this. In fact, I have a lot of worries about him thinking this way. He's trying to change for me. To become what I asked for however long. I didn't ask him to change, I asked him to reevaluate his creativity, to care, or at least show some response; in turn, I would also do the same. But it never happened. I'm not worried about falling into a comfortable situation, because I know what I know. I never wanted him to change. He seems to think that he needs to change in order to be these things that I need. So far, I haven't been able to figure out if he is what I need or what I needed. I needed him so long ago, and only now he is going to change? He mentioned that he's going to go to Thailand and not come back for a while. He could leave in September, in January, or maybe next summer and get more money for it. He's hinting to me that I could change his plans, or when he goes. I don't need that. I don't think that's a fair thing to tell me -of all people- because a. I will end up telling someone when he disappears due to how upset I would be, and b. I grow very attached to people, and when friends/more leave I almost treat it like its a death or that its my fault. In this situation, I would weigh a lot of it on being my fault. I'm starting to see that I can no longer be friends with him in this state. For christs sake, he's trying to change himself. I would never ask that from someone, and if I did, I would never expect them to do it! Then again, what do I know? I wanted to change. I didn't even need to either. Ugh, I don't know what's going on. I feel like I don't know where I'm going with him. If he changes, can I bring all these feelings back? Can I ignore the hurt that I went through and just start fresh? I've encouraged him already. But not because I needed a guy near, I thought that maybe I actually could bring the feelings back. *le sigh* What am I going to do? I know what I'm not going to do, so that at least keeps me level headed...

What am I still up at 4:20am for? I feel like I'm waiting for you to come online. I know you won't. I've been hiccuping for almost an hour now. I should got to bed. Nice day tomorrow, take in some sun, paint, volleyball, photograph my dad's guitars for insurance, blahhhh day. Visit ME!!!!! SOMEBODYYYY

Awesome song; I was driving in the fog with it playing. So good. That's not what this little blurb is about.

Lay off my fucking back about my facebook/twitter updates. Yes, they're related to my thoughts, but that doesn't mean that you suddenly know me or what I'm thinking about just because you are exposed to them. Its stuff like this that makes me want to close my account. I shouldn't want to feel that way about my expression. Just because you think I'm thinking about something 'deep' doesn't mean that I am, and just because he posts on my wall does not make you any more accurate either. GOD. Like fuck off. Seriously.

I've never needed a rock. I am my own rock. I wanted one though. I want one. I want to be vulnerable. I want to be cared for. I want to be looked upon as someone everyone wants around all the time. I want to be more outgoing, not in the stupid way. I want to be me. I want to figure what the hell makes me 'me'. I want to know what that was. I want to know why I never feel that way about anything else. I want to stop feeling that way or have something miraculous happen, or amnesia. I'm sick of making shit for 'nobody'. I want to stop thinking. I want to stop trying. I want to stop talking. I want to stop typing.

+ Went to best buy; there are too many things that I want there. Finally, when I am incapable of buying anything, they finally have the Nanny Season 2, and to make it hurt even more, they had Season 3 too. I have been looking for Season 2 for 8 months.
+ Went to Dairy Queen; Mushroom Swiss Burgers could be my potential love of my life, yet they could also make me gain 200lbs and kill me... I'll look for other options.
+ Didn't really do anything that I needed to do, such as get my eyebrows done, or my hair trimmed, or buy a new purse or shoes.
+ Bought lots of felt.

Anytime where I am not a complete fucking stupid slacking idiot would be great. Honestly. How can I just be fucking comfortable with not trying? I knew I was slipping. I knew there was a risk going to the exam without the final essay. Wow Charlotte, nice job, waste another $500 on a class why don't you. Can we just point out the fact that everything sucks? And now apparently there is some 'trust issue that has appeared out of left field' WHATEVER THAT MEANS. You cannot throw some tidbit in my direction about some issue that has come up recently and not tell me what it is about. It is worse than a trailer. I don't even get all that excited for trailers anymore. TOO MANY PEOPLE BRING UP THINGS AND DECIDE TO 'keep the peace'. I think, they are all DUMB for doing this. Pet peeve; the unknown with a hint of something big in the future, or small even, ANY HINT WILL DO. Basically, life is peeving me always. I am so fed up with people dragging me on for 3 hours about how they can't tell me shit when they have invited me into being interested in it as far as you can possibly go until it appears you have lost complete sanity. I am sick of hours spent bashing my face on my keyboard from the frustrating longevity of finding answers. Why can't they just suck it up and get it out? Do I STUTTER? Am I incompetent? GET. IT. THEFUCK. OUT.

Every time we approach Christmas time, I seem to forget how emotional I get about EVERYTHING. And I'm not even joking. I usually say "omg I hate winter soooo much" and talk about how much I hate the snow, but when its December, and its snowing out, and I see people skating or anything winter/christmas-sy I just end up tearing up everytime. My main weekness though, is christmas music. I was driving in my car as I usually do when I come back to Oakville for a few days, and 'The Christmas Song' by Nat King Cole came on the radio, and I really do love that song. But as I was trying to sing it, my voice kept cracking up and I was just like OMG SERIOUSLY?? CAN I NOT JUST SING THE GODDAMN SONG. Yea.... That gets annoying. However, when I'm with people I don't think it happens, but, I don't really keep track cause its not like I actually want to think about that. Anyway, merrrrrgh, that came to mind today.

Oh, weird thing. I went to get a physical and it was just so bizarre. I'm not going to go anywhere more than that haha just yea, it was bizarre.

On other news, I forgot my cellphone in toronto, so I had to drive back this evening to get it. And when I got back, Lindsay gave me my birthday present which was 4 Sailor Moon posters and they are like WOOOOOOW.

I have nothing else to say....So before I start saying something actually meaningful (because I do have more meaningful things to talk about) I'm going to go to bed because cold medication is STRONG.

AND I'm watching this special on PBS right now on David Foster (I didn't know who he was either) and his 'friends' and he's got all his 'friends (aka celebrity singers)' singing the songs he wrote for them, and WOW he is very famous. I am actually astounded by this mans' creativity. Well, OK, I am a little biased because he also wrote one of my favourite songs EVER; 'Feeling Good' sung by Michael Buble.


I am just really...really...speechless, kdlgjsklgsjg.
Ok, now I'm done.

I've just had a thought. I may be creating this thought due to my OH-SO-DREADFUL-ESSAY-WRITING or it could actually be a vaild point... we'll have to see.

This morning, I woke up and looked in the mirror.
I woke up and saw a selfish person.
Usually, I wake up and give myself a bit of praise because I am confident in myself, but today was different.
There was a shift.
I like to do things for others, and I like to focus my life around making others happy, because I, myself, am happy.
I don't really have anything to complain about because I know there are those who are worse-off than I...

I'm not trying to get a pity show here either, or a 'miss universe seeks peace and equality' kind of vote. This is just a thought.
So I was looking at myself in the mirror today, and I think, 'hey, I should spend more time on me. That seems to be the popular thing to do around here so I should do that" and then I paused. Spend MORE time on me? Alright, now, I know my perception is biased, but I truly believe that if I was to spend any more time praising myself I would become the WORST person ever. Not that I am, or think that you shouldn't give yourself praise, but honestly. I think that if I were to continue doing so, I would become so big-headed that people - myself included! - would begin to hate me.

This is where I had this thought. I have always been in relationships, really, since when I started to think about, well, sex, and the future, and my identity. Well, what if I put myself in relationships to save me from myself??? I'm not entirely sold on that idea because thats a weird thing for me to settle on...but its not so much a problem, its just more of a test of resistance and I guess self control...

Anyway, what I'm getting at is, is I don't want to become a horrible self-centred person that is infatuated with sex because they cannot find love and therefore cling to those who are blinded enough by it to save me from myself. I don't even know if those are the right words...or even the right idea I'm trying to emphasize... but I just need to make sure that I don't invest myself in people. I'm incredibly trusting, and that's going to bite me in the ass at some point, actually, it pretty much has already. But like I said, this "need to be with someone" I don't think is so much a problem as much as it is inspiring. I also don't want it to be the only reason why I am with someone. That is probably the most important part of it. This 'need' should not be the sole purpose why I am with them, but a reason not to be single...? Does that make sense, aw fuck, I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore.

I have a TERRIBLE headache, and I haven't even started writing my essay yet... I just need to get into the writing scheme before I mess things up.

For anyone who has actually read all this, please don't take all of what I've said to heart because I really have said some things that have not been properly thought through, and god knows what kind of shit that's put me through in the past...*wink wink nudge nudge*...JEEZ.

More on this another time...maybe

I've just been stressing the fuck out tonight, and that is excluding the dinner party, because it honestly ruled. I got home and realized how much stuff I have to do and just started to seizure...like...basically freak the fuck out. What's that you say? Story of my life? I KNOW RIGHT????. ... haha its terrible, plus I really hate lending out my tech equipment to my roommates, because to be honest, I never say yes but somehow Jake and Lindsay always catch me when I'm super busy and I just let them borrow them so I can carry on with what I'm doing, but honestly??? They could have the decency to give these things back to me within the week! Its not like I'm in the same program as Jake or anything...and I totaaaallly don't need my own equipment...*sarcasm obvii*
But in my stressing out, I took the time to listen to some tunes to calm me down a bit, and I forgot about how much I love "Something about us" by Daft Punk, and I really dig it for the way my life's going. 

 
It might not be the right time
I might not be the right one
But there's something about us I want to say
Cause there's something between us anyway

I might not be the right one
It might not be the right time
But there's something about us I've got to do
Some kind of secret I will share with you

I need you more than anything in my life
I want you more than anything in my life
I'll miss you more than anyone in my life
I love you more than anyone in my life

I can understand that you need to heal. However, I can't promise to wait.

What the hell do I do with my time? I've sat here from 9-1am needing to write an essay, and I find myself wondering what the essay is even on. What have I been doing!?!? If I could at least procrastinated and done something amazing with my time then it would be excusable...but not even.
Ugh. I wanted something to eat, and I'm out of pizza pockets but I was STARVING so I just made a quick alphaghetti. I ate it in less than a minute and it was the worst thing I have ever done (minus the previous entries' event). I have been suffering a stomach cramp for several hours now.

Other news....I will be getting my ultrasound results back soon, and hopefully they can tell me whats wrong and even more hopefully nothing THAT serious is wrong!

Other other news. I never appreciated Elliott Smith because I thought he whined too much. Then I found out an artist I like (Chris Garneau) did a cover of his 'Between the Bars' and started to have some 'respek'. I love the piano.
