womp there it is

LISTEN TO THIS WHILE YOU READ. IT IS GOOD.

 

Well, it's been yet another lengthy stretch since my last decent blog. I know I said I would likely be blogging it up during my SJ visit last Friday....but I was pleasantly surprised when after his hockey game Gary asked to hang ten. Turned out to be a really good night :) Not only did I get to relax in my lovely friend Jojo's bachelor apt, but I got to eat TACO BELL, my favorite, twice in fact, for dinner Friday night and lunch Saturday....haven't felt right in the gut since but it was delicious and worth every bathroom minute AND watched Letters to Juliet and Get Him to the Greek AND hung out with ....and I say this tentatively... my....main man? Errr, good enough.

Worst moment of the trip (and possibly of life) I was watching tv in the am and I noticed that I hadn't seen or heard of Joanne's crazy cat in awhile. It wears this friggin loud bell on its collar and Jo's apartment is not that big, so I had searched the whole thing in about 30 seconds. No cat :| Getting frantic. I get dressed and start running the halls of the building wondering how and when the cat had escaped. I have not been that work up and upset in, I don't remember how long. Went back to the apt and searched again, running from room to room over and over in this sick and twisted loop of terror practically crying! Finally I check her office closet again. There's this giant stuffed bear in there and thinking that its not going to do any good I lift it up. And there, hidden underneath the effing bear, IN A BOX, was the stupid cat.

Minor heart attack had.

Still a busy with school! No one was lying when they told me third year was the hardest, faaaaalk.

Biggest issue right now: trying to put large .pdf files (books) on my iTouch so I can read them at school. That way I don't have to drag around another heavy book with me. Anyone have a good app for this? Tried GoodReader and it won't friggin work for my iTouch. Blasted iPhone aps only.



keep the good times rolling

Alright alright alright, time for a good old wordy blog. Can I just begin with that it’s FREAKIN BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE?

Yessssss. Nothing is better then working in a small trailer with the window down beside my computer and glorious sun shining in, listening to good tunes on my iPod. Hmmm. Ok…rereading that, lots of things are better, but it is the best case scenario for me at work sitting at my desk. Ya, that’s a little more accurate.

Anyways, this week has been pretty relaxing. Watched Battle Royale Tuesday night, love that movie! If you haven’t seen it, see it. I got so caught up that I went out and bought the book the movie’s based on last night and have already started reading it. Exciting.

Last night, my good buddy Evan picked me up and we went and played some killa pool. Best part was this short hottie who was, for the most part, sitting at the bar all night and therefore pretty sure he was hammered, or atleast had a good buzz on. He walked by our table twice to go to the bathroom. The first time when he was walking away I caught him eye starring me down. He just had the most serious look on his face, like pure seduction, I actually started laughing. I was giggling and blushing just like a little school girl. And he just sauntered back up to his post at the bar. The second time he did it, I was ready and I kept my composure, trying to equal his seduction look while not being able to stifle my smile. He literally kept eye contact until he was looking backwards at me while still walking away. It was awesome! Haha, awesome because he was actually kinda hot. He was fairly short, but I like short guys, and the way he walked, looked at me, and his general appearance, he sort of reminded me of Stefan from Vampire Diaries. HAHA! Oh geez, ok next topic.

Tonight I am once again resting my head in the fair city of Saint John. My car pool TOTALLY ditched out on me today, so I had to drive by myself...figured I might as well make lemonade! Jbone doesn’t get off work until about 7:30pm so I’m on my own until then. I got to work late this morning (perk of not having to meet a carpool: able to say ‘fuck it’ and hit that snooze button!) so I’ll be here until about 6pm if I’m a good girl. 30 min or so to SJ, then I figure I’ll get some grub and do a little shopping. No, Colin is not on the menu, if anyone is curious. At the moment I’m pretty sure we are in a…fight. Complicated, long story, not blog appropriate.

Anywho, I’m hoping me and Jen get some quality hang out time in and possibly play some Disney scene it, cuz we are seriously ballin’ at that game.

Uhhhhh, what else. God this is a doozie. Can you tell I’m bored at work? Uh, let’s see Friday night I am going to see Two Hours Traffic at UNB sub. PUMPED! Have seen them in concert twice already and they are awesome guys. Hutch and Whit have agreed to be my dates.

Saturday night is Iota Beta Chi’s Annual Ball! I am sooo excited! Evan is coming with me (as my guest) and he is gonna dress up all sweet, he even got this grey vest to wear and he’s getting it taken in right now. I heart him. Predrinking at Miss Whitney’s house I do believe. I am fairly excited for the whole affair.

That about sums it up. Keep the good times rolling.

50 books in one year throwback...

Doing a little update, since I wrote this blog post in Dec 2009.

Titles to be crossed off my list of 15, so far:
The Lovely Bones (didn't really like it, it was...ok...I found it a bit boring, probably wouldn't read it again. But I know lots and lots of people loove it. I am weird i guess.)
The Host (second time reading this book. LOVE it. might be one of my all time favorites. Might even be my favorite.)
I am still digging at The Time Traveler's Wife and Outlander, but meanwhile have also picked up The Giver and Skinny Bitch! Skinny Bitch seems like it's going to be good, so far I haven't been able to put it down.

Probably won't revisit this for another month or so...I'm a fucking slow reader.

50 Books in 1 Year

I have been challenged to read 50 books in 1 year.

However, in order to finish on time I would have only one week to finish each book, with no weeks off. :|

YIKES! I am an extremely slow reader. So, instead I'm going set my goal at, hopefully, the safe number of 15. I love reading and am already reading the first 3 books. Books 4 through 9 are repeaters, but I have been meaning to read them again so I put them on the list. I'm hoping this will be motivation to make me read more!













any suggestions to get me to 15?
