   Con = Not Dead!
Yes, I'm alive. But it seems that daily posts here have turned into monthly ones. That makes me kinda sad. Maybe it's time for an amazing comeback, hm?

Had a birthday last week. I'm so old. A whole quarter of a century. Ouch. I didn't really do anything for it. I took it upon myself to cook dinner since I wanted to try out this fish with chili-mango sauce that I learned to make in Mexico. It was tasty enough, but I need more practice. Other than that, I just had three close friends over on the weekend. We drank our faces off. Don't ever let anyone tell you a girls night isn't fun. It really is.

Spent reading week (spring break type deal) on a cruise to Mexico with my mom. The cruise part was fun (except for getting seasick) but getting there was more difficult and getting home... well... I wasn't sure we were going to make it. Bad weather delays cause us to get stuck first in Houston and then in Dallas. I do not like Houston or Dallas. At least, not the airports.

Other than that stuff, I'm nearly done the semester. Starting final papers/projects right now. And I've discovered that I've got a minimum of four courses to take before I can apply to graduate. That's scary since I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. = P

Anywho.. Hope everyone is doing alright. Take good care MyO'ers. Keep on rockin' in the free world.

   Happy V-Day!
I didn't plan a special post or anything for Valentine's Day. I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to think about anything other than what I've got going in my classes right now. But I hope everyone is doing well. I haven't forgotten you, I just tend to post on LiveJournal a little more often now. It was a smart move signing up for a LiveJournal, I tell yas.. Anywho, Happy Valentines, even though it's pretty much over. THere's still an hour left here in Alberta so I'm sayin' it!! *hugs, kisses, chocolates, all that sappy stuff*

   Lovely little site modification...
I'm afraid to say that even though I took the time to modify the site again, I'm not sure I'll be using it terribly often anymore. I've been posting much more often on my LiveJournal. With things that have been going on lately, it just seems like a more supportive place for me to get my thoughts out. I like having a private/semi-private journal. I feel like I have to watch what I say too much when I post here. And I don't always have the time or the energy to type out two posts.. I've been tired and irritable lately and that's something I don't think I want to express here. Brings the mood down. This should be a fun place. I'll be by to check up on people.. Great weekend guys.. rock on..

   Happy New Year!
Happy new year to you guys. I didn't go out and party. I'm a lame-o. I poured champagne at the theatre and then came home and I've been picking through my old posts to find the most relevant bits of 2006. Quite a few memories there. Not all good, but still important to remember them..

You all rock majorly. Nothing but the best for 2007. *toasts*

I'm sorry..
I'm sorry for turning my site off and being gone so long.. If anyone even missed me that is.. = P There have just been so many obligations and distractions lately. I needed some time to process things. We're getting there. Plus the power system in my 4 month old computer blew and I had to ship the thing to bloody Ontario for two weeks to have it repaired. And I'll tell you, I'm never doing that again. Even if it's still on warranty, I'll call someone here in town to fix it. The HP techs wiped my hard drive. Everything is gone. All my music, all my pictures, all my papers... gone. So I spent several hours this morning redownloading my messengers and ad-aware and reinstalling the Norton and all that crap. I'm told that they were jackasses for wiping the hard drive for a problem such as a blown power supply and that I should rip them a new one via telephone or email. I plan to.

So that's my pathetic excuse. I don't know what makes me thing I can get away with turning off my site with no explanation while I give other people a hard time for it. I'm sorry again and I hope everyone had a good Christmas. *cheesecake*

   "Every rose has its thorn/
Just like every night has its dawn/
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song/
Every rose has its thorn..." - Poison (Every Rose Has its Thorn)

I handed in my last paper this morning. I'm not happy with it. But I just can't think about it anymore. I'm just hoping that my prof DOES have a headache before he gets to mine. I think that increases the probability that I get a good grade. Hopefully.. But anyways.. Exam in the morning.. I'm not ready for that either. And one on Wednesday. Which I am also not ready for...

I got invited to former-work's Christmas party. It's on Wednesday night after my exam is over. And I'm going to go. Even though I know that new boss will be there. Heh.. his first social function, isn't that nice? [/sarcasm] I think it'll be a nice time. And it should be proof that I left perfectly competent people in charge of the money. XD Rock on, kids.. It's almost Christmas..

   "Must have lost my mind/
When I lost the car keys on my way out/
Strange how you're not with me..." -Matthew Good [Band] (Tripoli)

Well.. I should have known that five classes was a bad idea.. It's finally caught up with me. I've been so concerned with the deadlines for my Philosophy and Religious Studies classes that I neglected to notice that the exam dates for the third History of Rock and Roll test had been shifted. The tests are web based, so I can go to the testing centre at any time during the week and take it. The tests usually open on Thursdays and run until the next Wednesday. The third test opened on Wednesday and ran until Tuesday. I was not aware of this. I missed the test. That means I take a zero. If I get a 75% on the fourth test, the best grade I can expect for the class is about a 56%. And since it's a course offered by the Music Department, a 56 counts as an F. *sigh* I really suck right now. I just suck. So obviously I have to manage something a little higher to pass the course. *headdesk*

I'm just very tired of this game. And my computer is dead and it's getting sent to Ontario. It better work good when I get it back. The one piece of semi-redeeming news I have is that the deadline for my theodicy paper has been extended to Monday. I can relax a little bit. Have a good one.. g'night..

   Possible F-Bonbs.. watch out..
Well... this is great. Bloody fantastic. My computer picks a fine time to die on me. It's like it knows how stressed out I am right now and it wants to be a total ass. I left this morning to go have passport photos taken, which is a punishment in itself, but upon my arrival at home I discover that my PC has frozen somewhere in the process of "preparing for standby" I can't get it to do anything. Not even restart. So as a last resort, I decide to cut the power. Big mistake Con. I don't know what else I could have done though. So now I can't fucking get it to turn on again. I had this problem once before and called HP tech support. I've tried all the things they had me do that fist time, and still nothing. So I'm pretty mad. Especially since I had started my Case Study for Business Ethics and it's saved on there. I had to start the damn thing all over again. I've finished it now.. but I would have finished it a lot sooner if I hadn't lost everything I had already done. Anyways.. I'm tired.. But I still have 3500 words about Theodicy to get done before Thursday. I need more caffeine.

   Holy crap.. it's a post!
I managed to pull off an A- on my Philosophy paper about Rwandan Genocide. I'm pretty proud of that and I've decided that I owe myself Matt Good's "Loser Anthems". If I can find it, that is. If I manage to get a B or higher on my Holocaust Literature paper what should my reward be? In fact, I think I'm going to deserve a prize any time I hand anything in on time. I like that one better... suggestions are welcome. Aaaand messenger keeps kicking me off. So I think that's a sign that I need to go to bed.. Goodnight everybody. Rock on..
