oh anthropology, how i dislike you. first midterm tomorrow. 35 multiple choice questions. not overly concerned about it. hence why i’m blogging right now.

talked to my darling stinky tonite. i can’t believe it’s been a year since i’ve seen him. where does the time go?? since i’ve seen him, i’ve gone through about 4 hairstyle changes, a new piercing, a new tattoo, and a new life pretty much! it’s insane. sometimes i wish i could go back to first year at windsor (first year at mac at age 24 just isn’t the same haha), yet i’m glad i can’t go back. i wouldn’t trade that year for the world. so many ups and downs, learning about life. my, how things change. that was five and a half years ago. holy crap. seriously, the older you get, the faster time flies by.

i miss stinky. he was always the one who helped me keep my head out of the clouds and one foot firmly planted on the ground. amanda tried, but i have a habit of not listening to her (i love you amanda and have come to value your advice now lol). i wish i could see him on a more regular basis, more than once a year. but that’s the hectic life of adults i suppose (ew, i’m sooo not an adult). he’s one of the few people in my life i hope to always keep in touch with, no matter where life takes us, and lord knows life is taking that boy far.

so many of my memories from first year are filled with him. shopping adventures instead of going to class (that boy was the first person to wear girl jeans - and not in an emo way dammit!), drunken nights at the bar, crazy hairstyles, trying to make me watch the godfather (i lasted 15 minutes before i was snoring on the couch - sorry hun! haha.), stealing my cosmo before i got the chance to read it, taking care of him when he was sick (men are seriously the biggest babies ever when sick!!), late night phone calls to london england just to talk to me, coffee and talks by the river - those were my favourite. he opened my eyes up to the world, after being sheltered in suburbia for 19 years. he never ceases to amaze me.

i hope to get some quality stinky time soon. i miss that so much.

here’s to the boy who eats those motherfuckers up on stage. keep being awesome b. never change for anyone. just be you. those of us privileged to know the real you, the gangsta we know inside, love you to pieces.

Have you ever thought about what protects our hearts?
Just a cage of rib bones and other various parts.
So it’s fairly simple to cut right through the mess,
And to stop the muscle that makes us confess.

And we are so fragile,
And our cracking bones make noise,
And we are just,
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys.

You fasten my seatbelt because it is the law.
In your two ton death trap I finally saw.
A piece of love in your face that bathed me in regret.
Then you drove me to places I’ll never forget.

And we are so fragile,
And our cracking bones make noise,
And we are just,
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys.

And we are so fragile,
And our cracking bones make noise,
And we are just,
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls-
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls-
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys.

so i fought my speeding ticket yesterday. it was a good day!! got it dropped to 15 over which is no points and a smaller fine ($95). and i also found out that speeding tickets are only on your record for two years (although your insurance company can go back three if they want), so that means my whopper of a ticket is no longer on my record. so i’m back to 15 points! woooo!!!

school’s back in session. feeling pretty good about this semester. only 4 courses, but there’s definitely quite the workload. but they’re courses that i’m enjoying so far (aside from anthropology - boooooring!!).

nothing overly new and exiciting going on to speak of. went shopping last nite and the mall was completely dead because of the shitty weather. school was also closed yesterday. got a sweet haul at the mall. quite happy about that. oh how i love shopping!!!

this week should be mildly entertaining. fighting my speeding ticket tomorrow. here’s hoping i can get them to drop the charge a little lower. can’t afford those points dammit.

friday i’m volunteering at the y for miss h. get to check out hedley for free, i’m okay with that haha. that should be pretty good. getting the much needed volunteer hours and hearing a decent band - works for me. and it’s less people that holly has to pay for being there.

this semester of school is looking busy but good. only taking four classes. good thing too because of the workload, it’s nuts!! but i’m feeling pretty good about most of the courses. and i know someone in three out of the four classes. got my marks back for first semester - B, B, B+, B-, C. overall i’m pretty damn happy about that. the C sucks, but all those B’s are great - i never did that well at windsor haha.

stop snowing and freezing raining please. please? i was completely content with this no-snow thing.

maybe i’ll go shopping today.
