I was hurriedly browsing through an entire week's worth of The Globe and Mail newspapers (left piled up due to last week's intensive homework load) when I noticed this portion in last Monday's (May 10) paper:

When a person is bitten, "it's best not to try to yank your limb from a shark's closed mouth," writes Paul McHugh of The San Francisco ( Read more... )

I wish I had more time to actually write in my journal, but IB (Pre-IB, anyway) - International Baccalaureate - is keeping me occupied with endless homework, whether it be preparing for in-class essays, projects, forums, etc. It's like this little child going, "Me! Mememememememememe! ME," demanding that I devote every waking hour to it. Oh, well. ( Read more... )

[I found this quite thought-provoking in a weird kind of way. Just wanted to share.]

The Meantime GirlShe`s the one you call when you`re bored because she makes you laugh. She`s the one you talk to when you`re feeling down because she`s willing to lend an ear and be a friend. She`s not the one you call when you need a date to your company`s ( Read more... )

I had a craptacular day today. First block in sewing class, I had 10 marks taken off my project because I forgot to bring it to one class two weeks ago, before Spring Break. The teacher NEVER used to take marks off if anybody was late! It's just my luck that she decides to start taking marks off for this project ( Read more... )

Well, bless my Barney underwear.

Does anyone know whether this is a joke or not? If it isn't, then North Korea has one superbly fucked-up leader. (Yes, even more so than he usually is.)

On the other hand, it could just be Star Wars' irresistible allure. Yes, let's think of it as that.

Just a quick question:

Does anybody happen to know why altricial deleted her account?

I pulled my first all-nighter the night before last doing my Math HL portfolio. Interesting experience - the panic, the guilt attack, the wanting to fling something - interesting, but not something I'd want to repeat. I never want anything to do with the Koch snowflake fractal ever again. The next day (Friday), I was completely and utterly conked ( Read more... )

I didn't get in. Sonya, Iva, and Mimi all got in, but I didn't. I know it's just a stupid play, but I can't help feeling like I'm inferior to them now, that I'm not as talented as them because I didn't get into the Company. I honestly thought that I had given a good audition - one full of emotion and subtle movements. Apparently, I thought wrong. ( Read more... )

Just wasted 3 or so hours watching the stars strut up and down the red carpet and thank everybody in New Zealand 3 times over when I should've been doing my homework. Had the following thoughts pop into my brain while watching the awards ceremony:

1. Billy Crystal's intro stint was flat-out hilarious. Mom and I guffawed our way through the entire ( Read more... )

I've come to the conclusion that I am perhaps the worst archer (marksman) in the world. I managed to get 4 arrows onto the target board, but that's 4 arrows out of 25 or so tries. One arrow actually hit the bull's eye, but that was a major fluke because ... well, just look at my statistics. As well, the times when the teacher was looking and it ( Read more... )
