Pardon me while I burst into flames . . .
Quick recap of what's up in my end of the world. Legs still not quite "un-sore" just yet. My recovery rate sucks ass since I haven't been exercising as much as I should be. I also did a closing shift at work last night (called in for a guy taking a leave) and I'm closing tonight at work again (guy has a midterm). Then on Saturday I'll do my regular long shift that ends with closing again. Fun times.
Brother's birthday is on the 7th, so I need to think of something to get him soon. My Arthurian Lit' term paper is due on the 15th. My Victorian Lit' term paper is due on the 22nd - as well, I have an in-class presentation about Sherlock Holmes that day as well. So that's November.
And now for something less trivial . . .
For those of you who have known me for at least a year, you all know that there have only ever been two instances where I changed the theme of my myO page. Once was when I thought we lost someone very important to us (though we didn't, and I give thanks every day for that). The other time was for Remembrance/Veterans Day . . .
When I was at school yesterday, I walked into the Student Union Building looking for people selling Remembrance Day poppies. She was there, and I quickly made my way over to buy a poppy pin. Now, it's by donation, so whatever pocket change is fine - still, I put in two bucks without a second thought. I dunno, it's just one of those things you do . . .
My grandparents lived in China and Hong Kong during the war years. I don't know if they fought in the war or how it affected them exactly. At this point in life, my grandma on my dad's side is the only one still living and I've never asked her about this stuff - partly because my Chinese is bad, partly because I've just waited so long to ask . . . but in any case, November 11th means a whole lot to me.
So, with that said, things are gonna change for a little while soon. I'm gonna get a little more serious, I'm not gonna post any trivia bits, and I'm gonna be posting about events which I don't think anyone should ever forget. Of course, being Chinese-Canadian I'm gonna most likely gonna have a bit of a Canuck slant to things among others. But I promise, it'll all be important.
I'm not sure when it'll start, but it'll be soon. And it'll be worth it, believe me.
