I had an odd dream two nights ago. I attended a school in a castle and I suppose I felt alienated and unhappy with everything. Jessie and Vicky also attended this school, and one day we were given the rare opportunity to turn ourselves into ghosts. Of course, we couldn't let people know about this so we had to be very quiet. This one cloudy day ( Read more... )

Oh no...I find myself typing, and this is a very bad thing. You see, it's past midnight. That means I want to write and chatter away, but I'm tired and therefore my walls of caution tend to crumble. Sometimes I think it would be so much easier to trust everyone with every little thought or feeling that I personally encounter instead of carefully ( Read more... )

The other night I dreamed about Ken Jennings. You know, the Jeopardy! champion? We got along swimmingly. He really is a very nice person. I gave him a big hug and I wouldn't let go. I know that's strange. My dreams make weird things happen. It's odd how meeting people in your dreams is probably better than meeting them in your waking life. ( Read more... )

Firstly, I haven't been commenting as often as I used to. Know that I'm still reading everything you guys are writing, but I haven't been struck with brilliant responses so I've opted for silence. Although I suppose that in writing there isn't much noise...you know what I mean. I hope. Not much to report here. So I guess there is no "secondly

Today in Toronto I purchased The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It's amusing me. Is it wrong that hearing of the world being destroyed produces such a reaction? Mind you, it occurs in an ironic way. I won't recommend it until I've read the whole thing, but it's shaping up to be worthwhile. So in TO today, we went into a magnificent costume ( Read more... )

I planned on being asleep by now, but I'm being plagued by one of my sporadic trademark bouts of profound thought. Perhaps that's giving it too much authority. It's really more that I'm being overwhelmed emotionally by all the things I'd love to do but never will. I'm beginning to wonder if my potential is exceeded by my dreams. Put another way ( Read more... )

That's right! My OUAC account now states that I have achieved (though I have still yet to receive) my high school diploma! And this updated version also notes that my community involvement is completed. Phew! I must say, good ol' Streetsville really pulled through for me. And Mr. Pasemko got my marks changed! I owe that man my life...or ( Read more... )

I have a kitten on my lap...this is rare, folks. Not only is she calm, she's also not biting me. Hoo-ray! Stampy really does like being around people. Y'know, she'll sit at the top of the stairs and cry for someone to give her attention, but as soon as you enter the basement she jumps at you - gnawing and thrashing at the air and your person ( Read more... )

So Monday I went down to UTM for an unnecessary group advising session. I took the bus there and back, and I was one of maybe 3 students present who didn't go with a parent. I'm all growed up! Well, yesterday was my first opportunity to register for courses. I planned to wake up at 6:00 so I could get on to ROSI good and early - before the ( Read more... )

I really enjoyed my Canada Day. Many of you who read this were there with me...er, at least 2 of you. Good wholesome fun, right? The sparklers really made my night. There's something about bright, twinkly light moving through an otherwise dark space that just makes me feel so free and so perfectly joyful. It's like youth, adventure, hope...a ( Read more... )
