   "Funny how I couldn't see/
This is not at all about you, it's about me/
Everything has happened the way it was meant to be/
Here's an opportunity for us to find/
A way for me to tell you what's been on my mind/
Please forgive me, I don't mean to seem unkind/
But you wind me up, so wind me up again..." -Fastball (Wind Me Up)

I feel like this song is all kinds of relevant right now. Except I can't find the right words to explain what's been on my mind. Possible LJ post about that. But maybe not. If I can't find the words it'll come out as "purple monkey dishwasher" I don't even know what that is or where it originally came from...

I got a grade back for a paper I turned in last week. The one about 2 Kings 9 (if anyone cares about the subject matter). The assignment was to take the story and describe how I would film it if I were a hot shot movie director. I decided that I had no choice but to modernize the thing. I had prophets riding Harleys and generals wearing Armani suits etcetera. I decided to include a musical soundtrack amidst the footnotes. Consisting of Steppenwolf, George Thorogood and Led Zeppelin. I ended up getting an 88 on the whole shebang. I truly believe that it's because I won my prof over with the Zeppelin. He confessed that he was a fan back in the day. *grin* I just have the right taste in music I guess.

I handed in another on Monday night. 3500 words about the Rwandan genocide. By the end of the writing I was pretty depressed. Now, I get to start another 2500 words about Jewish Holocaust Literature. Isn't that super? I'm just going to be a barrel of laughs for the next little while, aren't I? [/sarcasm] Anyways.. time for sleep.. I can still get 5 hours, but only if I go right now. Rock on guys..

   thinking = bad
I have 718 songs in my Windows Media Player.

I hit play when I started writing this paper three days ago.

There are a dozen songs left to go.

It is 2:37am.

I am eating pizza.

I am trying to think of a way to conclude this paper.

I can barely remember my own name.

All I really know is that I don't want to think about war or peace or genocide or death anymore.

In 12 hours it will all be out of my hands.

I am glad.

I might get to go to sleep soon.

   "Come on/
Lean into the curve and come on/
You know the nerves are perfect come on /
Look down from above it
Just see just where we're at
And to know how far we've come..." -The Headstones (Come On)

I'm having issues starting on this paper. It's going to end up being something totally different than the topic I suggested to my prof. Kind of on the same lines, but I'm having issues getting my thoughts together. I just don't think I want to do any more work. I was kind of hoping that while I was in the library that one of the stacks would fall over on me and bury me for a week, and then I'd have an excuse for not doing it. Or that I'd be squished between the moveable shelves. No such luck though. Maybe tomorrow.. I'm just having a hard time writing anything at all lately. Even a stupid post. = P I'm just tired I guess. Hopefully it'll be better tomorrow, because I can't exactly afford to keep wasting time...

"The stars are aligned/
But they don't align for us/
Excuse me for I am the ocean/
And I will starve for you/
Will you know how to stay brave?
Such fragile moments we share
You are my everything
Even with nothing to say..." -City and Colour (Off By Heart)

So, I really didn't do much today. I woke up in time to catch the Rememberance Day ceremonies on CBC and after that I just bummed around. I tried to search the Uni's library database for some research material for my upcoming paper, but was mostly unsuccessful. I did manage to find a few things that might work, but I don't think the export record feature worked. I only got two of them sent to my email, so I'm going to have to search again. Bleh.

A good chunk of the evening was spent going through my archives. Even a year ago it seems like I was a lot happier. Well, a lot of us were a lot happier. And I got to thinking, where's the point where we stopped being happy? Due to the condition of certain things these days and having certain people around me, you'd think I'd be much happier. But I feel like my posts have lost that sarcastic humour that I used to actually like. Seriously, if you go back ten pages or so... I don't even feel like the same person. It's really weird.

Anyways.. that's about enough of me trying to psychoanalyze myself, isn't it? Happy Sunday. Rock on.

In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.


We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.


Take up our quarrel with the foe;
To you, from failing hands, we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

-Major John McCrae

Lest We Forget...

   no song.. too tired..
I didn't do my presentation on Tuesday. Computer issues occured and it wouldn't connect to the campus wireless connection, so no presentation. I have to do it today. (Thursday) Yay. That was another day to prepare. It really didn't do any good. But I will be the first out of four. So by the end of class, everyone will have forgotten how bad it was. HA!

I think I nailed my History of Rock and Roll test. At least as well as the last one. But hopefully better. Blah blah blah. Enough of my babble. Have a good night. Rock on.

   "You circulate freely/
Surrender completely/
Wind up alone in the road/
The light's gettin' brighter/
The prize to the fighter/
And now we got somethin' to hold..." -Slaon (Who Taught You To Live Like That?)

Bah.. tomorrow is presentation day. I'm scared. Provided I can get through it, that'll be a weight off my shoulders. Until the weekend when I have to start working on my next papers. For which I still need to choose topics. I think I could easily choose two topics that are closely related and therefore cut my research in half. That'd be nice. But apparantly I'm not allowed to plagiarize myself. Which still dosen't make sense to me, but meh. I won't do it and I won't fail. Only a month to go..

I'm glad to hear that there is support for a big kids club. I ought to have some time at the end of the week to attempt to work something out. And figure out posting access and junk like that. but it could be an interesting experiment..

Anyways.. there was something else that I was going to say, but I can't remember what.. SO it'll have to wait for another day.. Good night, rock on.

   "She waits/
And I pretend that I'm not coming back/
She waits/
For me to find my way back home again/
She waits/
I never thought she would/
She waits..." -The Hal Sparks Band (She Waits)

I am in love with Hal Sparks again. And after this week (which I have deemed 'Hell Week') is over I might take the time to make my site over a little bit again. Miss Aya, if you read today, make note that there IS a Hal Sparks band. I'm sure you're aware that he plays Michael on QAF, so it's just uber-cool. And he's uber-cute.

I've pretty much finished my 800 word paper. It actually was kind of fun to write, even though it took a long time. Thanks to Kev-o for keeping me company. I'm rewriting bible stories and throwing in Choppers and Ferraris. And martinis. Can't forget the martinis. Whaaat?! The assignment was to describe how I would film this particular story if I were a film director and that's how I'd do it! So there. My school rocks.

I'm still working on the presentation I've got to do on Tuesday. I'm getting nervous about it. It's been such a long time since I've had to speak in front of a class of people that are older than 6. I tend to choose classes where I can just go to class, do my reading, write my papers and get a decent grade. But I was feeling ambitious this time around, I guess..

Anyways, that's about it. Oh, I should probbly mention that Kevin and I have been talking about forming a "big kids club" of sorts. Specifically for MyO members that are over the age of 18.We seem to be few and far between, so we think it might be a good idea to collect them all into one place so that they are easily found and we don't have to sift through hundreds of sites to find them. Please let me know if there is support for that idea. If there's not, I won't bother. XD

Goodnight goodnight.. Keep on rockin' in the free world.

*exasperated sigh*
Just lost my entire post..

The gist of it was..
1. Stress is piling up.
2. presentation and essay must be ready for Tuesday... TUESDAY?! AAAUUGGHHH!!
3. Haven't failed anything yet, therefore, small chance of success.
4. Changed the site up a little bit.
5. Friend list grows short.

Have a gooder.. Keep on rockin' in the free world..

   No song.. too lazy..
Movie night was pretty fun. I went to a friend's place on Saturday night to watch some scary-type movies since Halloween is coming up. So it was just three of us girls sitting around drinking and visiting. Watched Donnie Darko and Hocus Pocus. Both are classic. Really, the whole point of this post is to show off the cookies I made...

I think the tire treads are a lovely touch.. don't you? One of the other girls made shortbread and baked it in the shape of fingers. With a blanched almond for a fingernail and everything. Very gruesome. Heh..

And no scary halloween-type party is complete without the Ouija Board.. THAT was entertaining, I tell ya.. We pretty much asked the typical girly stuff.. I must admit, I was not disappointed with the answers it gave me. I am amazed at the answers I got.. When the first few letters came I removed my hands entirely from the pointer because I didn't want to influence anything, and it STILL gave the answer I thought it was going to. Very creepy.. since neither of my friends knew anything about the answer. So it MUST be true.. = P What do you guys think? Ouija Boards: cool or creepy?

Happy Monday.. It snowed on Sunday morning.. hopefully it quits so that I can drive without being scared of getting in an accident.. Rock on..
