You Should Be a Poet

You have a way with words... and a talent for drawing the pure emotions out of experiences.
Your poetry has the potential to make people laugh and cry at the same time. You just need to write it!


You Are Most Like Bill Clinton

No doubt, your legacy may be a little seedier than you'd like.
But even though you've done some questionable things, you're still loved by almost all.


You Should Be a Film Writer

You don't just create compelling stories, you see them as clearly as a movie in your mind.
You have a knack for details and dialogue. You can really make a character come to life.
Chances are, you enjoy creating all types of stories. The joy is in the storytelling.
And nothing would please you more than millions of people seeing your story on the big screen!


Your Blog Should Be Purple

You're an expressive, offbeat blogger who tends to write about anything and everything.
You tend to set blogging trends, and you're the most likely to write your own meme or survey.
You are a bit distant though. Your blog is all about you - not what anyone else has to say.


You Are Broccoli Casserole Soda

Vegetarians taste better!

Random quizzes and musings.

School starts in less than a week.
I'm going to be working while at school.
I have amazing teachers and two have won teaching prizes and this is only the first semester. However, it's still school.
Yay parties and expected and unexpected outings and bouncing about somewhat aimlessly and getting good results.
Bah on people who are leaving (you shouldn't be allowed to pursue an education that sends you off to faraway lands) and on doing inventory, it's not fun to be hunched over in half trying desperately to scan huge duvets and bed sets that are covered in trillions of years of dust and gunk that's pretty disgusting.
Also, yay and bah on me for cleaning/organizing my room. It's not all finished yet but the drawers in my desk are useable for the first time in ages, the filing cabinet isn't too hideously unorganized (and overflowing to the point that when I pull out a drawer it doesn't lean forward a bit [really, it's just asking for trouble]), only a few boxes filled with mostly papers to be sorted and probably recycled at some point are still in my room making walking about trying, and my bookshelves are nice and moderately organized and don't have little boxes or cards or papers or Lego cars on them. In short, my room looks and is less cluttered! w00t for me! Bah though because I started last week and just let it stay chaotic for a good while.
So work has been a mixed blessing: money and friends and connections and twirling umbrellas while dancing down an aisle right before closing time just for the hell of it and naming socks with faces and snowmen on them but it took time away from socializing and some people I'll see at school and others are moving away and I'll probably not see them for too long (which is flexible but nevertheless unfortunate).
I'm going to go now and email Kathleen, my SUNIA blog buddy, this here url and go and finish up my room then call Kelci and see if there's any way we can get together before she leaves tomorrow for Flatland.
Bye to everybody else and I'm sure I'll bother you on your blogs and MSN and on Skype when I find the wireless attatchment that'll give the laptop internet again (damn desktop doesn't have the right plugins for my headset).

Til later,
Me.

One of my favourite planets isn't a planet any more...

Pluto has been officially downgraded to a "dwarf planet" by the International Astronomical Union.

I'M BAAAAAACK!

So basically I miss SUNIA a lot. SUNIA is life and I miss really living. :(
Devon's party was fun last night as was Georgeanne's sister Alex's party after that.
Sears was pretty lousy today until I had a few nice people starring an almost older lady (early 60's I guestimate) who I told to keep her shoe box exactly a month ago and she came back with them thanking me profusely for having encouraged her to keep it because her shoes ended up being terrible and falling apart a bit. So she said she hoped I had kept telling people to keep their boxes because she was sure they'd bless me too for doing so. I got warm fuzzy feelings from her. :-D
Anyways, I'm going to go call Gee to see if it's worth me trying to go see Bon Cop Bad Cop since it starts really soon and I don't know exactly which bus to take to get out to Crowfoot...

'Til later all (and btw Devon, your stories = omfg amazing),
Me.

People are back!

Candace is back and Georgeanne is back and Joseph got back Saturday night!
Work isn't too too bad, people are generally fun. I have a new pair of dark blue pants and really nice new black shoes for work/debate.
I talked to Robyn Fulton for the first time in I don't know how long. It was fun. We're going to see what we can do to get together.
Arg that Meghan's fun summer party is while I'm off at SUNIA.
Devon, I'll see what I can do to get to your party, I'd love to come but we'll see what kind of shift I get that day or if I'm even scheduled *crossed fingers for another day off but doubts it'll happen b/c of the week-ish off for SUNIA*.
Cake is lovely. Mum made cake for Joseph when he came back and it's very delicious.
It definitely hasn't sunk in that I'm going to either SUNIA or that we should really start thinking about Debate org stuff and our trip and such.
Some people have already gotten their info for school, schedules and all, and I'm sad that I haven't yet and I don't know if I will or not as tomorrow's Heritage Day and all.
Joseph brought back fun French music which will be discussed in a later post some time.

Anyways, I'm going to have cake then sleep.

Bonne nuit à tous!

Me.
