    <content type="html">So halloween is in four days, sad that i have nothing to do this year cause everyone seems to be working but oh well. i guess i will just watch the x-files and be happy with that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in other news the haunted hay ride is going on once again. did two nights last week. Friday night was one of the worst nights out there i can remember. it just rained steady and the people just kept coming out and riding so we had to keep acting. it wasn't raining enough to stop the show but just enough to make it really uncomfortable. Saturday night redeamed it though as it was nice, mild and there were billions of stars. what a difference like 10 minutes away from city lights make on the night sky. even at my place we don't see that many stars. it was great. but they had to keep the corn gun firing off all night. it is normally used to scar crows out of the corn fields but we had it going to scare the wolves away... yeah its true Wolves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aside from that, things are pretty slow. just making my way through this week of school and looking forward to the weekend. although i will be at church most of this weekend as i'm directing both choirs sunday again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well thats all for now...</content>

    <content type="html">So we are winding down to the end of this term, in terms of in class work. two more weeks then exams and right into placement. I am getting nervous now. as of right now i have been placed in a grade 8 class in the public board and i don't know how i feel about that just yet. Apparently they are trying to switch it to the catholic board but there are no promises that that will happen. i am not getting my hopes up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i can't believe how fast it has all gone by. it has been a lot of work but for the most part it is really enjoyable. i really like my profs they are fantastic. i really haven't had a big problem with the work or the applications of the work. i am happy to be doing so much for church and everything seems to be falling into place. i have even had some time to myself which is wonderful. haven't been able to see a lot of my friends but that is what the summer is for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the one thing i am not looking forward to is the snow. i just really don't want to see any of that this year. i don't know why i am just feeling so against it. maybe it is because we didn't really have a very nice summer and it is already getting cold out and i feel like it should be nice. but at least it hasn't snowed yet *knock on wood*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;haunted hayride starts this weekend. i am very excited about it. i know i said i wasn't going to do it again this year because of school but at this point i am in a good place to be able to do it and so i said yes. the premise sounds really fun and this year the corn actually grew tall enough that we can get into that field and hide. it is going to be all worth it this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next week i am going to see hair spray. i am really excited about it. i can't wait to see it live and to start off my season of musical. this year is going to be a busy musical year for me with hairspray, cats and wicked within a month of each other. Godspell at church in april and Foot loose and Anny by the the two catholic high schools in the board. it is so excited. i just can't wait to see them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i am just at school right now, finding time to update while i wait for Rae-Anne to get here from her run. i got out of music an hour early because of a smoke issue in the building. i think the aboriginal class is having one of their celebrations and the smoke hit me like a ton of bricks. started having an allergy attack so i got to leave. i need to replenish my med supply in my purse so that it doesn't happen again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well there isn't much else to recount and so i will end it there. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;have a great day.</content>

    <content type="html">Oh man, one day off and its so easy to revert back to the easy times. Today i had a day off because two profs decided that wednesday was a good day to take off i guess. i was very excited about this because i wanted to get a lot done. yesterday while i was in town i bought all the stuff i needed for a few assignments and so i made a list of all the things i wanted to get done. well this morning i just didn't do anything else and i really haven't... i am so lazy holy crap! heehee. but its not midnight yet so i still may get some work done!</content>

    <lj:music>my confession - josh groban</lj:music>
    <content type="html">It is now sunday night and i feel like a "where did my weekend go," is in order... heehee. time is just flying by.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friday was long, but fun. at least i had fun. i hope Mystery friend X (she asked to be called that) had a good time. we should do that more often X! heehee. the hockey game was fun and an adventure in itself with the power going out and junk like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday i worked, got all kinds of stuff done there then got in my car and came home. when i got home mom told me that i was needed and so i got back in my car, with the dog, and went back to work. then i came home again, had a nap and then an amazing dinner thanks to mom and a very heated game of Blocus with Amy, Josh and Mom. it was also amusing to watch Amy with the vicks tissues! heehee. Then i got tricked into going out to Jillians house, which i don't regret at all because she is an amazing woman. but man Raisin can be very sneeky. i will have to get her back some time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday well i spent almost 6 hours at church today which isn't bad. i didn't mind it at all. it was just the going and leaving and going back and leaving again that was a waist of time. but singing with the choir and then being able to be around for the youth mass for once was a great experience. the youth choir sounds great and they really make me think of how wonderful and fun it was to be at MMA. i am happy to see that kind of enthusiasm here at my own parish! i am very excited to work with them this year and to direct them next weekend. it will be fun! not to mention their band sounds great!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so thats about all i can say about my weekend. it went by to fast.</content>

    <content type="html">Only in thunder bay would a hockey game be called on account of a thunder storm. Tonight, after seven years of avoidance, i attened the season opener and very first Thunder Wolves game. First period we were down to the Carton team, but second period we scored two great goals toward the end of the period. then everything changed... the power went out, it came back on, we were told it would take about 15 minutes for the flood lights to come on again cause they had to relight or some weird junk like that. the lights come back on, the crowd cheers, then we fall into total darkness. back up system comes on, goes off, comes on again and we wait. sing some songs, prizes are given out and then we are told, for the first time in thunder bay history a hockey game is because called because of the thunder storm. the are going to determine the end of the game tomorrow with a 5 minute shoot out and then they will play game two against Carlton. it was loads of fun but dude what a rip off! a hockey game called on account of rain!!! bah!</content>

    <content type="html">HOLY SHIT, can I just say, where the fuck to my week go? it seems like it should be only Tuesday and yet looking at my clock it is Friday, early morning mind you, but Friday non the less. the craziness with school has been unbelievable, and yet I keep taking on more things, yeah figure that one out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;next weekend I am directing both the senior and youth choir at church for Marcia and Ted as they will be out of town. but I am also going to be doing a music lesson and a history lesson in schools next week. I ran my music lesson with my church choir tonight for some input and it went over really well so I am somewhat less stressed about that. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This weekend, lord love the weekend, I am going to a hockey game tomorrow night with Meghan, hanging with Raisin on Saturday night and singing at church in the morning and observing the youth choir in the evening on Sunday. somewhere in all that I need to do laundry, a religious education paper, some history papers (been putting them off should probably get them done) and I have to finish up the group banner for the religious education class. no big deal... oh yeah and I have prayer service stuff to find. shouldn't take too long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Going through incredible x-files withdrawals... I can't believe how lost I feel not watching them. it is so weird. I have also decided that I think I am going to stay getting the season of CSI on DVD but only the ones for the original CSI.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, trying to plan a bowling night or something for Halloween because it would be fun to go bowling in costume. Alek, Steve and I have done some minor brain storming. but it would be fun with a group of people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Haunted Hayride is happening again this year and yes I am working it and I hope I get to wear the dress I made a few years ago for the harry potter party. I have to wait and see what happens with the scrip as the last time I spoke with Swanny, she hadn't written it yet.. heehee. but her ideas sound fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today was interesting, had a chat with my history prof about music, wants a mini lesson on music in Canada, drama prof things I would be nice to sing some underground railroad songs, I am down with that. went to church and it was kinda weird to be on the other side of the wall in the rectory... I went to make photo copies for the choir practice tonight and it was just odd to be let in like that. weird. then I went to zellers and bought some blank CDS and I bought a DVD rack cause I have run out of room on my book shelf... funny thing is I have since put stuff in the place of the DVD I move and again I have no room on the bookshelf. unending battle. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that is my exciting life. not so much but I am happy with it. in fact I am happier then I have been in a long time. things are somewhat falling into place. I have been able to save some money surprisingly and I haven't had to borrow any, which makes me happy. work is great only once a week, and I will get more hours when I am not in school. Church is great, everyone is so helpful and they really appreciate me for who I am and what I do. so, I guess, aside for the x-files withdrawals, I am really good. it’s a good feeling.</content>

    <lj:music>the x-files theme by mark snow</lj:music>
    <content type="html">Well, as we can clearly see, I do not update my LJ. It was back in may that I last posted but today, in a chat with a person I have been friends with for many years and whom I met over the internet only to become, what I am calling, life long friends, I have decided to try and write in here. not that I will likely have any time to do so with school and whatnot but I suppose that if I can find time now, I should be able to put aside some time every few days or so to write. So here it goes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;since may what has happened...not a hell of a lot... or at least not anything worth posting about. Summer I spent working, I started cantoring at church again and I made it out to camp a few times. Mandy came home in August, fun times were had with her and she has now returned to Korea. Rae-Anne and I have been crazy cool nerds together in our pursuit of the truth. It's funny but I remember the x-files in such a different way then I see them now. Sarah and I had a few meetings this summer and I think it is time... if scheduling allows, that we rekindle our friendship... well we never really lost it we just got busy. but looking back on things today brought back great memories. I don't know if she will admit it but man we were crazy cool nerds back in the day. some of the things we did and the money we spent on useless crap... I will admit if I had the chance to see who you saw recently Sarah I would have totally walked a mile barefoot for the cause... if not for us. Not to leave anything incredibly important out I just want to say that HBB and I have had more contact over text then I think we ever did over msn... unless we were together in person then we basically sang each other ears off. I miss those days HBB. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;what is to come you may ask... well pro year is proving to be a royal pain in the ass... church has refreshed my soul and given me many challenges and welcomed me back with open arms. I love it there. I love the choir. and I love that I can honestly say I was very lost but now am found. I would be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to placement. that should prove to be an adventure and a half. not looking forward to being 26... it just seems so insignificant in a way. Hairspray, Cats and Wicket will be the highlight of 2008 I am certain. And, though I haven't looked into it yet, I am tossing around the idea of seeing a certain band of newfound landers once again this year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I miss working. it seems so strange. for the first time ever I really love my job. yes the summer went by really fast but it was great working with the ladies at the credit union. they have helped me through a lot. they are so diverse in themselves that I can't help praising them all to high heaven for who they are and what they do. I miss working and I can't wait for next summer to be there more often.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my book list this summer was hardly dented. I did read all the books I bought while in the states for MMA this year and it was super fun to have Raisin with me and I can't wait to go back next year. will I get to read anything fun this year... probably not but I will make time for a lion among men if you do HBB. And if I do find any time to read I will more then likely have to get my favorite books back from Raisin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What am I going to do when I have finished watching all the seasons of the x-files. it has become like that mind numbing thing I do when I just need to not be doing school working anymore... what show can I get into at that point? I guess it is bad that I never really watched a lot of t.v. I am more into books but reading makes my brain hurt. I need the unbelievable and some eye candy doesn't hurt either. two season of dead like me wont last long. but maybe Angel and Buffy are in order... hmmmm.... the other dilemma is the money issue with only working one day a week and don't get me started on my car troubles, I have very little money to spread around and lord knows I am not giving up my Tim. hortons!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well I guess that is enough for now... it seems like a new introduction to LJ. maybe it is... or maybe it is just a blurb in my past that I will look back on in seven months time and say... damn I such at updating this thing...</content>

    <content type="html">So it seems like i only post in my LJ if something bad happens! i should really try harder to write good stuff here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway about my epic fail, feel free to laugh at me because this was a stupid move on my part. so i walked out of my house tonight on my wait to Rae-Anne's house to watch a movie and i get down three steps at my back door, roll my ankle and sprain it...yeah can't even make it out of my house. thank god the window was open and i was able to yell for mom and dad cause i pretty much can't walk now or put much pressure on it and its keeping me awake tonight. in other words i am calling in broken tomorrow and Josh may have to take me to emerge to see just how bad i fucked this baby up. *sigh* not to mention it is my pedal foot so i can't even drive myself and the crutches we have in the house are probably way to big for me even on the smallest setting. oh my god sometimes i hate my life!!!</content>

    <content type="html">Church these past few days has been wonderful and i am beginning to realise just how much i miss being there. i hate that i have been busy and i have been neglecting my sunday obligation but i think it is high time i re evaluated my priorities and i need to go back. i want to go for thursday but i can't because of a jazz concert but after that point i really don't have much of an exuse and i don't want one. i am going back to the senior choir, whom i miss very much, and who did a fantastic job as they always do for the easter tridium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in other news i am totally into anne of green gables. finished the first book fridaynight/saturdaymorning and went to the used book store saturday to see what i could find of the rest of the series. i bought the next two books, minus Anne of windy poplars, and then annes house of dreams. so i have a few more to get and i am sure i will find them eventually. for now i have Anne of Avonlea to read and Anne of the island.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yuppers thats my news!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Easter.</content>

    <content type="html">I have come to the conclusion that i never wanted to do this year. i look back on the things i had written and said about coming back to school for another year and then i was very put off from coming back. Now with three weeks left i see that i haven't wanted to be here at all. i have liked my classes and my profs for the most part this year but i was never really into them as i have been in past years. the sad thing is i don't really care at all this year. i think the only thing i have actually gotten excited about is Anne of Green Gables. that is my goal for the easter break, to finish reading the book, well the first book, summer will see me pick up the box set and read them all. Aside from that i don't care. i have now gotten caught up with all the papers i have had to write and the crazy anxiety that i was going threw about two weeks ago, but since then i have writen 5 out of 7 papers, with two more to go, but a bit of time between them. i am happy that there is time for the last to because everything has been due within days of each other and now i have one for the 31st and one for the 8th. then it shall be over. i have three exams to write. two are on the very first day of exams and one is on the very last day of exams so they are spread out aside for two on one day but then i can work, make money, get into sewing, think about going to camp and hang out with my girls. not to mention, with the onset of summer means we are that much closer to Mandy comes home. (very excited about this point i am not going to lie). aside from that a first summer with Max out at camp should prove to be very entertaining and the tenth aniversary of MMA will also be a highlight as it always is. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so if anyone is wondering. i am in children's lit class right now. we are on a bit of a break so thats good. and we are talking about Anne of Green Gables. i hope to get out of here earlyish, but it never happens that way. oh well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tomorrow should prove to be interesting. we have presentations for the grad students in Vic culture and Society starting tomorrow and running till the end of term and then i'll be going home to get ready for three days at church. i am really looking forward to it. sitting back and just being there and going through the motions of it rather then being completely overwhelmed with all the singing and whatnot. i don't have to worry about loosing my voice because of my alergies and the insence. but i do get to have my feet (foot) washed tomorrow night. it should be interesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well i guess that is all for my sporatic entries.</content>

    <content type="html">so i give. mentally and physically i can't do it anymore. i give up everything. five more weeks of school and i just need to make it that far. aside from everything else. i give up. i'm done. no more. people are not going to take advantage of my anymore. they are not going to walk all over me. i know who my friends are and i thank them for it. and to them i say you are the best and i hope you know that. there are some of you that are no longer here with me and i miss you dearly but i know we will meet again and that's all that matters. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i am in the process of a mental break down. i think its been coming on for a few days. i came to a head today. i have never been so physically distraught in my life. but big thanks to Tellie for holding my hand the whole time. Also big thanks to Mandy for sending me an amazing present from Korea that arrived on a perfect day, it was wonderful and i loved every part of it...although the chicken thing is a little bit iffy but the duck is amazing and will be useful as long as it works with my computer. Big thanks to Rae-Anne for being with me for the past few days and taking my mind off things. it was a big help but i fear it just prolonged the inevitable. Big thanks to Heather, for the surprise phone call on sunday and the promise of good things to come. i am very excited to see what you send! Big thanks to Leslie for letting me rant all night and making me feel better about things. i tried to take your advice, although most of it didn't happened because apparently it was all me being unreasonable but whatever i think i got my point across. To LB i miss you and i am sorry for neglecting you. we need to get together soon and i am really sorry i have been such a crappy friend this school year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i hope now that i have hit rock bottom things can start looking up. i will do my best in the weeks to come and i hope that i can make things up to most of you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;looking forward too&lt;br /&gt; - end of school&lt;br /&gt; - working at may amazing stress less job&lt;br /&gt; - may long weekend.&lt;br /&gt; - super seat sales to surprise friends.&lt;br /&gt; - blues festival &lt;br /&gt; - MMA&lt;br /&gt; - Mandy coming home&lt;br /&gt; - Catz.</content>

    <content type="html">I am sure we have already established the fact that i hate winter, but i feel better when i restate how much i loath it, cause i really do hate it with a passion. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so here is why i am so very distressed about winter. Last week we had a really weird week. plus five weather with rain then minus 25 in a flash and everything ends up covered in ice and the wind was crazy strong and freezing cold and now its warm, snowy and i am sick. yes it came on and hit me like a ton of bricks. it totally suck i am so not happy to be at school and i blame it on winter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so in other news, been trying to read David Copperfield, am hating it about as much as i hated Lord Jim last term... oh well gotta do it, will probably watch the BBC version and get the gist of the story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i like all my classes this term, really interested in my third world film its really quite cool and makes you really think about how bad western thought is. And Monica Flegel and Dr. Harpelle are by far some of my favorite profs in my 6 years of school at lakehead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;had a great time saturday night with Rae Anne. i can't believe we made it all the way through pirates of the caribbean. we watched them all in a single shot... thats like 8 and a half hourse of Johnny Depp, i'm not complaining, but it was insane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday was a great time of creative thought and action with Hayley. we got a lot done. i am really pleased with how things went and thank the good lord for the sewing machine. it makes life so much easier. i love it and made life so easy yesterday. then Vaughn came over and we watched oceans 13 and it was fun!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this morning sucked to get up and come to school i am so not feeling well and i am not really paying attention because dickens just is not my favorite person in literature. i want to read Jane Austen... why couldn't there be a jane austen class. that would be so much more fun!</content>

    <content type="html">Ok so my alarm goes off this morning and the first thought that goes through my mind is "oh yay another saturday at work, better get going." yeah its monday, it was sunny and light in my room and my alarm went off at 10:30 and still for the half hour that i was waking up i was totally into the fact that it was saturday and i was going to work. then finally i looked at the wall and saw my calendar and was like wait a second its monday... i have class now? not work? woah were is my brain at?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;what the hell did i do to make me completely skip back in time or jump back to saturday? no clue. is that any indication as to what my whole week is going to be like? probably. i am going to be skipping days all week i am sure. as long as i make it to work on friday all will be well i am sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so there really isn't anything new and exciting to relay to anyone. i get up. i go to school/i go to work. I hang out with the BF and the friends. i play with the puppy "le petit Monstre" as i have come to call him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Max is getting really big and quite playful/cuddly/annoying. though he is very smart and a really good dog, minus the biting, he likes to steal things and eat things right now. he has destroyed moms slippers, he steals mine all the time (i have hidden my Eeyore slippers because he wants to eat the ears off of them) but he's got a billion toys. so i guess what i am getting at is that he's spoiled and will never stop biting if we don't start taking his shit away from him and punishhim,(i try, mom underminds my attempts), he's never going to stop biting. but everyone loves him and i guess thats a good thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so yeah, there is my random journal post for the first time in like a month or so.</content>

    <content type="html">So the christmas break went by way to fast. i think it had something to do with the fact that i was working and all i wanted to do when i had time off was sleep and be with Vaughn. the new puppy probably also made the time fly by. he's a cutie but a monster all at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so i am in class now, on my 25th birthday and i am kinda glad that i am. i don't really feel like its any big deal to have my birthday. whatever Mandy isn't in town so it doesn't really matter. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so i am kinda sad that i can't do city band anymore but i am very excited to take my history of third world film. it kinda looks really cool! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok so i should pay attention in class now.</content>

    <content type="html">There was a girl who lived in a small city in northwestern ontario about 50 minutes from the canadian/american border. On day she over slept her alarm and was woken up by her mother calling to say have you seen all the snow. the girl cursed under her breath as she jumped up to turn off the alarm that was playing classical music and looked out side. the site of the snow forced her to crawl back into bed and forget about even trying to get to class late. So she went back to bed and woak up another hour or so later when her father came home. she hoped that he would be starting to clean the drive way but instead he went downstairs and watched his big t.v. so the girl climbed out of bed, had a really hot shower and went into town. on her way she waded through snow drifts up to her knees. got into her car and booted it down the driveway to make it over the snow. she finally did and went to her boyfriends house and they laid on the couch all day and did nothing really productive. It was a wonderful first snow day.</content>

    <content type="html">I can't believe how fast the time has pasted. the term is already almost over. christmas is like 35 days away. exams are a week and a half away from starting. concerts are ready sto start by monday of next week. Papers are due. people are getting ready to go home for the holiday, go away on trips or come home for a little rest. it all just goes by so fast. it seems like last week then Mandy left for Korea. it seems like last week there were still leaves on the trees and it was sunny and warm. it seems like last week we were starting into classes. where did the time go?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been quite busy and yet i feel like i haven't gotten anything done. its a terrible feeling, i think, and i wish i had something to show for it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i guess a lot has happened in the last little while. though i don't really want to admit it. for those who know and those who don't yes i am dating a younger guy and yes i am very happy with how things are going. and no i don't care what anyone says about it because he makes me very happy, more so then any guy i have really known and thats all that matters. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so this has been a very vague post but oh well!</content>

    <content type="html">So i went to see a movie last night with Vaughn and we decided that we would see something funny. well we decided to see fred claus and as its running through the movie all of a sudden its going backwards and all the music is off and the video is upside down. this went on for about 10 minutes before they stopped the movie and gave us passes to see it again or to see a new movie. it was so weird though. i thought they had gotten rid of the old movie technolody and moved to the high def dvd system a long time ago but i guess they are still cutting movies together and what not. it was really weird non the less. so we get our passes and we go to see Dan in Real Life and it was a very good movie. everyone should see it! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And thats my story.</content>
