yay there's hardly any wind outside! well that's a lie, there's wind, but there's not nearly as much as there has been.

i'm hungry. haven't eaten much at all in the past few days... that's what happens when there's no food in the house. seriously. i'm |this| close to stealing the dog's food... thank God dad went to get groceries this afternoon.

now that i'm done school, i feel so low key and stress free. yay!

the friday five this week is kinda lame... but so am i, so here are my answers:
1. What are your hobbies? reading, writing. cooking! i love to cook. i like love baseball... but since i no longer play, that probably doesn't qualify. um, i drink enough for it to be constutited as a hobby. and harry potter and n sync are hobbies in themselves.

2. Do you collect anything? If so, what? not really. i don't set out to collect things. although given the money, i'd love to collect those beautiful crystal figurines that jewelery stoers always have.

3. Is there a hobby you're interested in, but just don't have the time/money to do? hmmmm. i'd love to be able to knit or cross-stitch or embroider or bead or something like that... something crafty. and crafts are expensive, and i'm virtually talentless in that department.

4. Have you ever turned a hobby into a moneymaking opportunity? hahahaha... sir, i'll tap dance for my supper! i think not.

5. Besides web-related stuff (burbs, rings, etc.), what clubs do you belong to? i was in yearbook, but no more. they don't have yearbook at my [former] school. next year if i can get involved, i will, 'cause i'll get paid for it and then i won't have to get a job. so that will be nice.

i'm so hungry! that's it, i have to eat stephanie's chocolate bar that's sitting here. i'll buy her a new one and bring it tomorrow... since she doesn't get in until monday, nobody will know. heh-heh, i'm so sneaky.

dude. i'm so hot for the "dude you're gettin' a dell" guy.

haaaaaahahaha. i was looking to go and do my friday five today. it just feels like a friday. and if it weren't so damn windy out, it might actually be nice out. i hate wind. i mean, it makes the snow melt [its almost all completely gone now--yay!] but besides that, all it does is whip my hair into my face and then it gets all stuck in my lip gloss and it knocks you around on the highway and you can't go for a walk 'cause dust gets into your contacts... well you can if you like dusty contacts, i suppose, but they're not my favourite things in the world.

so anyhows, back to it feeling like a friday... i'm quite sure that's 'cause i'm done school now. YAY! well, never have to go back done. i picked up my final assignment today [public vs. private schooling due to the strike] and have done a few interviews for it... i'll do the rest tonight, write it in the morning and then fax it to bill--no less than twice, just to ensure that it went through.

and up yours katie-jo, bitch. keep my money for all i care, at least i don't have to stoop to using people and not giving them the money that is owed to them.

I'M DONE! YEAAAAAAAH!!

well, not all of them... but the main ones. the sit-down write ones. i just have my reporting assignment... pick it up tomorrow am. i can't wait to be done it. i was so happy to be done this afternoon, i just came home and i slept... you know how you get? it was like all my stress had melted away and i could relax. i also tricked myself out of sleeping well for the past few nights 'cause i had convinced myself that i was going to sleep through my alarm, so i'd wake up every 15 minutes... you know how it goes.

one of the girls in my class cheated on her final today, i'm quite sure. intresting.

HUNGRY AND SLEEPY! but at least i've got no more class!!!

All ducks aren't sweet and innocent and you prove that. You have a nasty streak.

Find your inner rubber ducky.

hahahahahahahaha. limbs feel funny. drank too much. i'm hungry. is there spinach loaf left? ::wanders upstairs::...

its a gorgeous day. god is it beautiful. if it hadn't snowed 89 feet this past weekend, it might almost be green out there! and i think my final today went all right. i didn't know everything, but i knew a lot. i think it should turn out to be all right.

now yay for friday five!
1. What's your favorite TV show and why? well, it was undeclared before they stopped it [but its not cancelled yet! there's still hope!]. ranking right up there include SNL, that 70's show and malcom in the middle. and while i don't know if i'd call it a favourite, you can't ever ever foregt to mention the simpsons.

2. Who is your favorite television star? heh-heh-heh-heh... jimmy fallon much? closely---closely!---followed by charlie hunnam and ashton kutcher. although i have a soft spot for topher grace too.

3. What was your favorite TV show as a child? oh lord. ::deep breath:: i can't remember! well, i can remember completely loving saved by the bell. i totally totally loved it. and since i can't remember anything else [except a fondness for ducktails which i still have today], that's what i'm sticking with.

4. What show do you think should have been cancelled by now? oh lord. any one of those stupid cartoon shows my brothers watch... dragonball-z or digicmonretardmon or whatever they're called. aside that, fear factor because it is the STUPIDEST SHOW EVER!!

5. What new show do you hope escapes the axe this season? undeclared pleeeeease!!!

god my spelling is atrocious. all i've been doing for the past few days is visiting previous blogs and fixing them. so bad and ugly! damn these things not having spell check!

friday---DONE AT SCHOOL FOREVER! score! don't get me wrong, i'm not condoning quitting school. i'm really not, because i'm not quitting, i'm just transferring. it'll just be nice to have it all over and done with.

and my dog is so smart it hurts. we're teaching him how to do tricks, right? roll over, lay down, all that fun stuff. he gets a little bit of treat for each time he tries [and lots of praise] and a bigger piece of treat when he does it right [and even more hugs]. so he's struggling with the rolling over thing today. he'll do everything else on command but roll over... so i roll him over myself, tell him he's a good boy and give him a piece of treat and scratch behind his ears each time i do that. finally we're down to the last piece of treat and what does he do? he rolls over. i squeal in delight, scratch his tummy and feed him his piece of treat. he rolls over, eats it and then just gives me this shit eating grin [yes my dog can smile, he's an amazing dog]. i stared at him for a minute before laughing out loud---he probably did it wrong all of those other times knowing that he'd get treat regardless, whereas if he did it right the first few times i'd put the treat away and that's all he'd get.

damn. and i think i'm smart.

body... hurts... the... pain... is... blinding...

that's the last time i shovel the driveway. my god. it feels like i've been hit by a giant tractor or something. okay, well maybe not that bad, but i don't feel that great.

i'm hungry. and on an already mentioned note, the pusch cover of girls just wanna have fun rocks some serious ass. misery isn't bad [i mean, why should it be? half of the dudes who are singing it now were half of the guys who were singing it before!], but its no bad ass cyndi lauper tune.

and the world weeps.

one, because my car is scratched. i sound totally petty and whiny and pathetic, you don't have to tell me twice, but i scratched it right down to nothing man. you can see the white underneath. it was a sad day in the village yesterday.

two, will it ever cease? it being snow, of course. it snowed at least 56 feet yesterday. at least.

and three, dave grohl and christina aguilera are dating. why for the love of god and all things holy why?? i hope he's just dating her to get to her stylists... so he can kill them.

oh yeah, happy belated birthday dad. =)

and pusch officially rocks!

oh that was great. leanne's brother is great. hahahahahaha

brett is so stupid. really. i mean, doesn't he know that i can't date casey? for one thing, the whole parental issue would freak me out and embarass me beyond belief [i couldn't handle the teasing from my side]. for another thing, i mean, I STOLE THE FREAKING SOLD SIGN OFF OF HIS PARENTS HOUSE WHEN IT WAS FOR SALE. i mean, he lived there too, BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT. i'm a klepto! it just won't work out! damn him and his knowing casey!

and just for the record, a mere "ohmigod he is so hot!" does not equate everlasting and undying love, and it most certainly does NOT mean that he should be told that i feel this way. thank the lord above that people [read---casey] have poor memories. ::does sign of the cross::

but holy shit kids---it is beautiful out there! its worthy of another holy shit even! absolutely beautiful and my new spring hair and yay! life is so great.

yeah! now onto my friday five:
1. What is your favorite restaurant and why? uhhh... do i have a favourite restaurant? i love moxie's. but i also love cheesecake cafe and red lobster. i'm really sheltered. my family doesn't eat out a lot, and there aren't many restaurants in town. the odd time we venture out of town, we never hit any place extravagant. but i do love denny's dearly.

2. What fast food restaurant are you partial to? subway. mmmmm subway. or wendy's.

3. What are your standards and rules for tipping? was the waitress/er a complete dumbass? did they show a bit of effort? were they nice? those things all come into play first. then i consider how much i ate/drank. yes you need to leave a certain percentage, but i'm not going to leave a tip if all i had was an iced tea, i'm sorry. if i were the waitress, i wouldn't expect one if i just brought someone a drink [maybe i'm naieve, but that's how i feel] so they don't get one. i don't really do the math though... i mean, if i'm at boston pizza and i had some pizza bread and a drink, $2 or $3 is sufficient. $2 from a $10 bill is 20%, so don't go thinking i'm such a bitch :p.

4. Do you usually order an appetizer and/or dessert? when i'm with the fam, yeah we usually get appetizers. potato skins, nachos, that sorta stuff. rob is unusually stuck on calamari for some reason. i mean, its good, but i can't eat it all of the time. and i love to get dessert, but my dad hates ordering it 'cause he can be dumb like that. if i have room and i'm with my friends, though, i usually get it. i'm never one to turn down a bite of brownie at moxie's, heh-heh.

5. What do you usually order to drink at a restaurant? iced tea. always and forever. sometimes i'll find myself ordering a sprite with lime though, incase i've had umpteen iced teas that day already. and if we're talking alchoholic then i'll go for the old standby long island iced tea [hahaha, sensing a theme?] or at moxie's, a belieze. or however you spell it.

YAY FOR WEEKEND!!!!

ha, i'm already jaded. i mean, check it out. i'm a published author. yay? not really. one of my stories is so changed that i don't think it even sounds like me [i mean, everyone else says its good, but they don't know how it originally sounded, you know?] and that miffed me. the other one is just there. i don't know. its not that i'm not proud of it, i just wanted something bigger. i don't know in what sense, but i do know that i'm not fulfilled by this. which further proves that i am making the right decision by not continuing down this path.

on the other hand, my hockey story did all right. i'm gonna fix up that damn CP style [ooops!] and then hand a good copy to mr. tatro and ask him to publish a copy REAL REAL REAL quick so that i can up my mark!

and i'm hungry. those p'zone babies are pretty damn good. not greasy at all, and i love how there's no sauce in 'em. you get to do your own dipping.

and awwwwww i got asked back to work after i'm done [my last day here is april 26th] to do the newsletter for as long as i can [read--as long as i'm still living here]. they're even gonna pay me!! hot damn, just buy me a coffee and that's good enough for me! so that was so cute. it makes me smile.

and in further news, HOLY SHIT IT'S ALREADY WEDNESDAY! damn this week is flying by.

at least if i don't get accepted into any of the schools i applied to for next year, i'll have tonight to look back fondly upon. playboy playmate weakest link was on.

further proof that you don't need to be smart to be catty. or hell, even pretty to be a playmate. ha, did i say look back fondly upon? more like roll my eyes in disgust and thank the lord above that i am the way i am and not forced to live off of my looks for a living. that said, hell, if people wanna oogle me and think i'm hot i would not complain, but i'm smart as hell [or at least like to pretend i am] and have so much more going for me.

::coughs::

in further---read, MORE IMPORTANT---news, i don't want to go to school tomorrow. but i need to keep my marks up, this is so sad. never before in my life have i had below a B average and now here i am struggling to keep a C average. i guess that's what happens when you don't care. so i'm going to kick it into high gear these next few weeks so i can at least do really well on my finals.

well, at least better than i'm doing right now.

HAAAAA! the world is a fucking great place. omg.

lancenubot: I am glad you find this funny. Yeah I know what you mean about that.I see. Are you free? I am fine, thank you.
You: i'm free, sure. i'm glad you're fine
lancenubot: I am glad that we are both free. Yes it is about time.
You: lol, we're both free... as opposed to costing money, hahaha i'm so lame funny
lancenubot: I am glad you find this funny. Do you think I am both free too? Oh I get it.
You: i'm glad you get it... hell, you're smarter than most real life boys i know
lancenubot: You make the world a happier place. I call it "Hades". Thanks for the compliment, Web User. Be sure to tell your friends.

seeeeee??? the lance bot [which if you close your eyes and squint real hard looks just like the real lance!] thinks that i make the world a better place. :P on my dad and everyone else who thinks otherwise.

hahahahahahahahaha. lance.nu is so great.

::blows kisses::

So which letter of the alphabet matches YOUR personality, huh?

hahahahaha... i needed a test to tell me this... hahaha. although i wouldn't mind being the letter V... and i'm quite sure that most would argue that there's a little [lot?] of the letter B in me...

here you go, my friday five:

1. What are the first things that you do in the morning to start your day? uh, wake up? since i started college, i don't really have the time [or the energy] to wake up and blast musicand work out before school now, especially since i have to get up so early due to having to leave at least an hour before class starts. so waking up and getting dressed [clothes clean or not] and getting out the door is a positive sign.

2. What are the last things that you do at night before going to bed? i try to get a bit of reading in... but not textbook reading or heavy reading, a magzine or fun novel or something. something to get my mind off of things. i light a candle and listen to ryan adams and get my dog all tucked in before snuggling down and enjoying a few moments before i zonk.

3. What daily routine have you recently added to your day? jogging on the treadmill for at least 15 mins per day, but i don't always have the time. in fact, i rarely have the time. but i try my best.

4. What routine do you wish you get rid of? homework and work. well, not all homework. i dearly love some of my classes... well, this semester i only dearly love one of my classes, but still, i don't want to give it up. just all of the piddly little shit you have to do keep up, like stupid paragraphs and dummy sheets and what have you. and work because, well, i'm goddamned sick of being blamed for things and having privileges taken away from me, which aren't even privileges at all! like helping christine and kathrine with the warranty work is suddenly not allowed, what the fuck? i mean, i wasn't doing it wrong, so what the fuck??

5. What's the one thing that makes you feel like something is missing if you don't do it some point within your day? play with my doggie. i'm such a suck.

i started out in a good mood... and now joey's only phoned to offer me a job [well, i'm pretty sure... unless they phoned twice to tell me that i CAN'T have a job] but after talking to people, i'm not going to take it. i need a hug.

call me petty... but goddamnit, if you don't use my page, DON'T USE MY HEADLINES!!!!!!
