Woohoo! That was a great time. None of my really favourite songs got picked though. Meh :) So last night was lots of fun. We hit this house party and were going to go out later but people just kept giving Clare and I free alcohol and you can't really argue with that. I ended up crashing at Clare's house and we watched a stupid chick flick movie and I ate a large amount of pickles and shortbread cookies. Ha ha. Cravings are funny. She also showed me some pictures of me from the last time I was over there. They were great. The epitome of stoned pictures. Funny stuff.

Today I've eaten a heck of a lot too. My mother made me lunch and then we had chocolate fondue. Mmm.. Except I went to the mall and now I'm mall sleepy. It might be the lights or the recirculated air or something. Although I did notice a larger percentage of hot guys in the mall than there normally is. Ha ha. And I saw a girl I used to be "friends" with in high school and she had like a 3 year old kid. Aiee! Freaky.

So it's almost March Break for me here! Only 2 more weeks. Then Ottawa! I miss that town. Always so much to do. Seasaidh and I are going to have a GRRREAT time.

Andelay andelay.... Yes. I just got back from campfire and I'm feeling a tad silly. And I had a tad silly conversation with Jessimica on the phone. And I send a tad silly email out to Jon begging for a ride. Ha ha. Pathetic.

So I'm doing a panty exchange thing. That sounds a lot dirtier than it really it. You just send out one NEW pair of underwear and you end up with 36. Woohoo!! It's like a chain letter thing. I'm a fan of free things. Especially free underwear. You can't go wrong with free underwear. Unless it's dirty and gross. Aiee. Or moist and pussy. This entry has taken a turn for the worse.

I just convinced my friend Shaneika to start a blog. Another link. Huzzah. Go me! Crick? Crack!! Yeah. Paul and I are sitting here in the work room listening to the Leafs game. Too bad they're losing. Like last night. Bah!

Man. I think the sun got to me today. I'm really feeling off. In a silly sort of way.

There are chunks of my memories that I can no longer remember. I know things like that happen to people as they get old, but I'm not old yet. It's kind of unnerving. I mean, last week I was teaching skiing, and after I tried to remember what I said and I drew a complete blank. I'm sure I was teaching. Someone would have said something if I was just up there, staring blankly into space. Kids notice everything. So since that didn't happen I'm left to believe my mind is just letting go of chunks of useless information. Hopefully I don't start forgetting my name, or where I live. Although the other day a clerk in a store asked me my postal code and unfortunately I was unable to answer.

Hmm. I'm listening to an Elliot Smith version of the song Because by the Beatles. It's kind of cool. A bit creepy sounding though. I'm also reading House of Leaves which is going to be very creepy. Creepy is the word of the day.

So I'm home all alone this weekend. Well Zooey is here with me. And tonight I'm going out for coffee. Should be fun. It's always fun. I kind of wanted to go skating at some point too. We'll see. The rainy weather isn't exactly good for skating. Ha ha.

Course selection has started again. It seems like I'm always trying to figure out courses. Ha ha. Well it's my second last time ever. That's so incredibly exciting I could pee my pants. Except for all the conflicts. And I found out classes don't start later than I thought so I might be able to go to Mexico after all. Mmmmmm.

Happy 15th of February everyone! It's a new holiday. Let the 15th of February festivities commence! Who needs Valentines Day when you have the 15th of February holiday! Right. So life is still good on this end. We had a bit of time off last week without kids so we could do all sorts of housekeeping things like cleaning fish tanks and creating bulletin boards. But it was fun. Well except cleaning a fish tank that probably has never been cleaned before. That was gross and after we smelled really bad. Go figure.

So nothing really is new. I saw two bad movies last week. The Butterfly Effect - which was just creepy, and Thirteen - which was just bad. I was disappointed. Oh and I watched American Wedding last night. It wasn't as good as I hoped either. Well I guess I should have expected that. Next on my list of movies to see is Lost In Translation.

I'm beginning to believe that the less you write - the less inspired you are to write. I don't update a whole lot anymore and when I do it's always forced. And I feel like I don't have much to say. I'm sure funny and exciting things happen to me during my day I could talk about. I just can never think of them. We're forever being goofs at work, or having a bizarre conversation about something absurd, or dancing around being stupid. Meh. Not sure where I'm going with that. My cat is beginning to dig his nails into my legs and it's distracting me.

Here's an inappropriate joke that I thought was really funny.

------- What do you do when you come across an elephant???

-------- Wipe it off and apologize.

Ha ha ha. Have a good day everyone.

*sigh* I'm being coerced into this post. *wink* Well I only have a few minutes before the wonderful supper that my dad is cooking for me. Mmm mmm. I'm enjoying a nice 'long' weekend. It's not actually long it's just that I usually go back north early Sunday and today I'm not getting picked up until 9. Huzzah!

So my weekend was fun. Attempted to go skating Friday but since the ice was bad I just ended up playing on the swings. It was relaxing. I was due for a good swing. Then we watched the John Mayer DVD. Mmmm.. John Mayer. And today I ran errands and had lunch with my mom and sister. And played the piano for a while. I was due for a good piano playing. And I got a new watch.

We have a less busy week next week at the cliffs since Friday is a PA day. So I just get to hang around and take some high school kids on a ski. Should be fun. Then everyone else has reading week. But not me. Meh. March Break will be fun. Going to stay with Jess in O-town. We're going to have a great time.

I talked to an old friend the other day. It turns out we're both wanting to go to the same teachers college for the same program. So we decided we would go at the same time and room together and such. I'm kind of excited about that now. Plus teachers college should be a blast.

Well this boring rambling has come to an end.

Go Leafs Go! I did not get to watch the game since I'm "working" this weekend. But I heard it was a great one. Take that Sens! Muahaha. I just went and shared that with Natalie and Shaneika and they were very unimpressed. Meh.

So even though I'm shadowing this weekend I've still been drinking for a large portion of time. It's been lots of fun. Kerri and I ran the pub hike yesterday afternoon, so from 2:30 on we were both pretty silly. And then I played three on three broomball for an hour and wanted to die. Man it was tiring. And fun. But then came line dancing. Hilarious. It was a blast though. THE CROC was leading us. His name is THE CROC. Even on the phone he answers as THE CROC. Anywho. I thought it was pretty damn funny.

Yessss... The weekend has been good. And last week was lots of fun too. I'm really sore though. Can't wait until I'm back into shape. We had some kids last week that had character. Some good and some bad. I had a really amazing night program one night though. My best since I started working here. I can't think of any really funny stories though - with all these kids it's hard to rememeber specific things. Oohh. I took some pictures. But I have to wait until I get home to download them.

Well I need to go search for my sunglasses. It's bright out and they are nowhere. Then maybe I should do some work.
