GEMINI
It's hard to stay on track today for every thought that arises in your mind can turn into a string of fantasies that take you on a pleasant journey. You may be able to get quite a bit of traveling logged in your day dreams, but the real work now is back here on Earth. Enjoy a diversion or two, but don't let an obsession with your inner world interfere with your day.

Wow, no way ...

^D8

I was just taking browsing through people's blogs (An, you did the picture thingy! YAY - I think I should just say that I'm disappointed in myself for not being smart and categorizing bubbletea as a DRINK lol) and I found that a lot of people are smart.

I, on the other hand - not so much on that level BUT it's okay. I'd rather ramble anyway! Yay me.

So in the past week I have basically done nothing (what else is new) but I've gone on a path of self-discovery (nothing too much) and watched a lot of movies on the internet. I know that a career in movie producing or promotion is not in the cards for me. I've also made an unofficial Official List of Songs to be recorded by An and I. It's been long overdue too, which is hilarious.

Tomorrow (ie, today at 10AM) I've got my enrollment appointment for fall classes. It's a really weird system this year (apparently - although, I totally agree) and I, along with two friends, have been cordially screwed over by York U. Yep.
See, there's the time where we all have to pick courses for school right. Well, if it had been up to us, we would have picked our courses a lonnnnng time ago, but nooooo every student had an assigned date and time to sign up for courses. We all had today, June 23 but we all have different times. Mine is at 10AM, Manda's is at 3 and Joanna's is at 2. Since the sign up for classes began about a month ago, most classes are already filled up. That would have been fine if it didn't end up screwing us over. Which, it did. We're all in the same program and have two mandatory second year classes - all of which are pretty much filled up, leaving only one time for each class. Oh, did I mention that the two mandatory classes we have to take are happening at the exact same time on the exact same day? Yeah, well that's pretty much where we are with that. Not to mention the GenEds that we wanted to take are filled up and we're left with The Biology of Sex or something else that would make me feel uncomfortable doing homework for.
Acually, I think that would be the only class that I'd feel uncomfortable doing homework for.

I recently went to Value Village and bought like 10 books.

Gip stopped by at work the other day. He was lookin' very spiff - the way I think he always looks now - so dressed for success. Leading by example? Yeah, and I'm too lazy to follow. Haha - except, my mother wouldn't be laughing.
Good deals on cellphone plans. I think my friends and I will be calling him :)

I realize that Kerwin is going to be gone all summer - just when my summer was starting to feel like summer.

There is a madwoman screaming outside right now - I am slightly frightened.
She just screamed, "Billy?! Is that Billy? Where are you Billy? Listen I gotta make money"
OMG, I know what she is ...

Okay I think that that's a sign I should be getting myself to bed, no? I mean, I've surpassed my self-allotted time for random rambling anywayyy.

Plus, I'm scared.

I Like Night eh?

I think I'm nocturnal or at least, semi-nocturnal.

I say this 'cuz I feel like I'm only fully functional at night. Actually, I'm just more functional after5 in the afternoon. LOL, I have no idea why though. I was born at 11:45 PM - maybe that has something to do with it? Who knows.
Speaking of which, I've actually always wondered about things like that. Like you know, whether or not the time day, time and year you were born can actually determine things about you - personality traits, your own character, or even where your future! *Gasp*
For as long as I can remember, I've always been interested in things like my horoscope and whether or not colour can determine things about me that I've never known before. Aha.
Come to think of it, I know it does. I mean, not personally, but I think I've taken enough tests! (aha, has anyone taken Tickle tests? They're so fun :D)

Anyways, basically, the majority of "work" that I get done is done during the night. Ranging from 11PM to 3AM. It's weird but it's when I have the most things to say and the most things running through my head. It may me being like ... what's that word?

INSOMNIA! (Not gonna lie, totally had to google that)


Right, so a mild insomnia type thing?

Okay so I'm about to have an ADD moment. When I googled "Can't Sleep", I got to this page:

Practice "Good Sleep Hygiene." Here are some tips for you to try:

1. No reading or watching TV in bed. These are waking activities. If your insomnia is chronic, it is not a good thing to do, says Dr. Alex Clerk, head of Stanford Sleep Disorder Clinic in Palo Alto.
2. Go to bed when you're sleepy-tired, not when it's time to go to bed by habit.
3. Wind down during the second half of the evening before bedtime. 90 minutes before bed, don't get involved in any kind of anxiety provoking activities or thoughts.
4. Do some breathing exercises or try to relax major muscle groups, starting with the toes and ending with your forehead.
5. Your bed is for sleeping, if you can't sleep after 15-20 minutes, get up and do something relaxing.
6. Have your room cool rather than warm.
7. Don't count sheep, counting is stimulating.
8. Exercise in the afternoon or early evening, but no later than 3 hours before bedtime.
9. Don't over-eat, and eat 2-3 hours before bedtime.
10. Don't nap during the day.
11. If you awake in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep within 30 minutes, get up and do something else.
12. Have No coffee, alcohol or cigarettes two to three hours before bedtime.
13. If you have disturbing dreams or nightmares add an ending that you want.
14. Schedule a half-hour writing about your concerns and hopes in a journal every night to free up your sleep from processing your dilemmas as much.
15. Listen to calming music or a self-hypnosis tape for sleep.

Cool beans. That was fun.

Anyways, I dunno ... I just like the night time. There's something so peaceful and calming about it. I would say that about the morning, but since I always end up falling asleep late, I miss that part of the day LOL.
I find actually, that there are days when I'm fully functional after having only 4 hours of sleep. I like to think that it's because sleeping for 4 hours is just a power nap instead of sleep-deprivation. It's not healthy but I did it three times in the past week alone aha, yowza.

Oh wait! Wow,
"14. Schedule a half-hour writing about your concerns and hopes in a journal every night to free up your sleep from processing your dilemmas as much."
That's amazing, I totally do this! Hopes, dreams, concerns, random thoughts. I've recently gotten really lazy though, not going to lie. Oh dang, but I drink coffee a lot, sometimes an hour before I go to bed. I don't believe that it keeps me awake anymore though ...

"7. Don't count sheep, counting is stimulating."
Aha! So true, I've tried this before and I got to like 300 and I felt more awake. You know what's a sure fire way to make yourself sleepy? Record your dullest Prof during a lecture and then play it before you go to bed. I tried doing this once - recording a prof. I did it because I was on my friends laptop during that class and knew I wouldn't listen. When I got home I was all set to listen and take down notes.

I fell asleep and woke up three hours later with a pen in my hand.

Consciousness: that annoying time between naps.

1. Type your answer to each of the questions below into google.
2. Using only the first page of results, and pick one image.
3. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into Big Huge Lab's Mosaic Maker (flickr) to create a mosaic of the picture answers.
For people who are as stupid as me, and can't work this out, the link is here: http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/mosaic.php

That is what I think about all the couples I saw at PND today at Nathan Philips Square.

jpfokepqdkioejfpjpiejiojeofjeofijoasjelmoim.

How can one be in the midst of like a gazillion hotties, yet, know deep inside that not one can even be a prospect?

Oh, I'm a total pro.

Alright, so, TOTALLY not the post I wanted to start my updates with, but whatever!
There has been muchoooo things to talk about.
And I'm burstinggggggggggggggggg.

TWILIGHT:
Holy frreakin' crap. GAH.
this is the best thing to happen to me since Harry Potter. I mean I'm totally spitting words in my brain right now and can't coherently convey to you what I mean when I say that this series by Stephanie Meyer is amazing and that I'm obsessed, as in, OBSESSED with the series.
Obsessed.
There are currently three books in print - Twilight (eeee!), New Moon (eeeeeee!!) and Eclipse (gahhhhh! I havne't read this one yet!). The fourth one is coming out August 2 and the MOVIE, Twilight, is coming out in December. Midnight Showing? Hella YES.
Honestly, the hype surrounding this series is insane. A lot of the Harry Potter readers got into it and I'm only sorry that I hadn't heard about it 'til a few weeks ago. It's okay guys, I think it's safe to say I caught on really well. I mean, Two books in a wee and a half - and they're not short books okay.
So yeah, theres that.

So You Think You Can Dance:
Uhm Katee and Joshua.
WOW.
Their routine tonight was amazing and I'm not just being biased because iLove the song No Air - the routine made me want to cry - because there was so much conviction and emotion between the pair of them. But I didn't cry - I didnt want to miss a second of the dance durrr!

Life:
Haha, funny I should mention it.

For the past month and a bit, I had been complaining about the certain abuse I personally felt that I was facing by my manager. She scheduled me like a donkey at work - working 6 consecutive days more often than I should have and feeling like I was caught in the middle of petty disputes going on between my co-workers and the boss.

But then I look at the schedule for next week and I see that I'm only working on the weekend.
My hours have been CUT pretty much DRAMATICALLY.

I guess you gots to be careful what you wish for but hey now, that's ridonkulous. Ridonk.
What do I do now? I'm going to have like no money! Oh boy, I do need to talk to her straight away.

Singleness is still the tune I'm singing. But it's okay. I'm pretty content.
Although I'm still hung up on the worry that I shoudl'nt be hung up on, it's okay. I know its normal ... right.

I actually think that for a week or so I tricked myself and made myself believe that I liked one of my co-workers.

Well, I don't. On the one hand there are times when we have really good conversations. Things flow and it all fits you know. Topics of conversation never drag on into uncomfortable and awkward silences and things are good. We laugh, we joke, we chill. But then there are other times where we don't acknowledge each other at all. It's just a "Sup" and then a "Later" as I leave. Kind of funny lol. Whatever, I'll laugh.

All this romance and relationship stuff is just too alien for me to even begin to try to establish for myself. I'm leaving it up to someone now lol, I am just not capable enough.

An's leaving on Sunday and I'm majorly bummed. Of all the time that I'm not scheduled for a week - An's leaving THIS Sunday. I'm thinking that Friday dinner will be the farewell-for-now dinner and that it will be oh so yummy.

To Perform Again:
I agreed to help out an old friend of mine, Andrew, out with his Repertoire assignment. He and his parter Megan were to perform at a grade school, video tape it, and hand it in by the end of the day.

We ended up at a school called North Kipling - pretty far and alien to me but it's okay, we managed the mission.

We performed songs from High School Musical 1 and 2, and I had to do this a capella Hannah Montana song - which I wanted to commit suicide during.

It was nerve wracking performing again, even though it was only for kindergarten - grade 2 and one grade 6 class.

Their reaction though got better as the time trudged on by. Ugh, I'm waiting on the footage, I can't even think about yesterday's performance anymore without being thrown into bouts of helplessness.

Oh Andrew. Honestly, my relationship (using the term lightly here) is really strange. There is still no real closure, well for me at least.

I wish that I could trust him, because then - there wouldn't be a question and I would choose to go for another try. But I don't trust him.

TTFN:
That's all for now, I'm WIPED.

Well, I'll be!

My blogging has been less than minimal these past couple of weeks.

I'm about to burst at the seams with random stories to talk about.

Soon, for, I must do my laundry pronto!

So for now, Hiiiiiiiiiii. I'm alive and well =)
