I've just finished the last bit of my first draft on my paper Factors Affecting Human Mate Selection. It was a tad rushed, and I'm confused about the format that the teacher wanted. (It's her first year and she is standing in for our new-mother teacher.) There is a lot of conflict between what we were told to do in the begining and what this new stand in has told us to do. Luckily I have an editing session tomorrow and the final needs to be finished for Friday. I would like to add in more connections and quotes because I don't think there are very many scattered within the sprawling twenty page report.
I also have to finish the first draft of my other research paper entitled The Changing Perception of Female Beauty by Friday as well. It will probably be more difficult than the paper I just took almost a week to write. I guess I will just do a heading every day, I'll make the deadline. I need to print out some more surveys tonight, or email them to people. I just need some more male participants, so if you are interested in taking the survey email me and tell me, and I'll email the word document to you and you can just fill it out in an email. I need them ASAP, but because I had the other research assignment deadline first, it took priority.
Tomorrow first thing I have to finish the Caption Contest photo and maybe slip in an announcement before class so people will know about it. Unfortunately, it is also a bit late, but this, I'm somewhat pleased to say, is through no fault of my own. I have a completely useless teacher in journalism. I tried transfering out of it, but it was no use. To make matters worse, in my first term exhuberance, I took on the role of the Grad Supplement Editor. (It's like a small yearbook to give Grads before they leave.) It has to be done before March break I believe. (I may have my G2 by then! Crazy...)
I've also got to finish up some work for my math class. (It's almost insulting it's so simple.) I'm in all advanced level classes, and it's a general stream. I felt like I was back in primary school. The kids in the class act like it enough. The teacher is young and I get along with her so I'm not completely alone in the class. I'm also friends with the assistant to the disabled girl. (Just phsyical, not mental.) We are working on a project together that is also due on Friday. (I don't know what I'm going to do with all these Friday deadlines. They are truly heinous.)
Tonight on my hour break, Annie and I watched an episode of Dead Like Me. I really hope they bring that show back. I really loved it. I'd go on and on about it, but unfortunately my tea has run out long ago and the friendly boost has gone along with it. My contact lenses are starting to scratch dryly at my eyes and the late night MSNers are coming on. I've got to wake up in six hours, and I'd like to get a REM cycle in tonight, as bogus and impossible that actually is.

Well, hello I guess. This is my first post. I have a livejournal that I post in regularly, but they have become startling and upsetting, and I'm ready to make an optomistic, yet silly blog about me and my opinions and life that isn't all drama.
So today I was back to school after two weeks vacation. It was quite exhausting because I was still on my semi-nocturnal schedule and I passed out cold at least three times over an assignment or textbook. I have a bit of black ink on my cheek from drool mixing with freshly printed paper. Well, I guess tonight I better hop into bed around 10 or 11 so I can have a decent night's sleep. (If I go to bed early, the whole whack will be thrown off and I'll wake up at midnight or something.) I'll admit to snoozing off a bit in the tanning booth. There's something about dozing naked in a heated, glass coffin that is strangely appealing. I'm going to go every night after school. (Tomorrow I'm taking Marie with me.... no! Not in the tanning booth with me, she will have the other tanning booth and we will relax and enjoy it.) I'm glad that I can share my tanning session with her. She's done a lot for me and I'm proud to give her one of my sessions. (Yeah, I know... they are only a few dollars, but it's the thought that counts.) Twenty minutes of heated silence (or music should you bring a walkman) is just what the doctor ordered sometimes.
I'm currently reading the book Marley and Me by John Grogan. It's a really sweet account of his earlier life, starting a family with his wife and their large, boisterous, ADHD suffering pooch, a lab retriever named Marley, (like Bob Marley). There were so many moments in the book where I laughed my guts out recounting memories of my own large, boisterous pooch (a golden retriever) commiting the same puppy offences. I can relate to having to pry open the mammoth jaws and sticking my arm down the dog's throat in search of some precious trinket, and sifting through poopie should I be unable to recover such a trinket before the ineveitable happened.
I guess that is all for me for now because I have three huge projects that I'm working on and they will pretty much consume my evenings for the rest of the week.

Boring Facts About Me
Hmm... Where to start, I was born in London, Ontario and have lived most of my life in Southeastern Ontario, Canada. I've also lived in Paris, France. I also frequently visited family in Alabama as a child and have somewhat of an affinity for the southern United States, though I'm sure they don't really have an affinity for me as I am a pro-coice, feminist, libber who kisses other girls in a sexy way and loves Harry Potter.
I currently live in Downtown Ottawa. My birthday is September 30th, 1988. (I wonder if I should say "my birthday was"?) In any case, that's when I was born, which makes me a Libra and a Dragon in Chinese Zodiac. (Yes, I'm one of "those" people.) I'm a stereotypical Libra and Dragon, so if you want to know if you'd be able to be friends with me, then if you wiki those two things then you should probably get a somewhat accurate image of my personality.
Life Stuff
As a kid I really loved horseback riding and rode pretty much every weekend of my life until young adolescence when I had a pretty bad fall and really hurt myself. I'm better now and would really love to get back into horseback riding, but now I live in the city, far from any horses. Not to mention all those tuition fees and living expenses don't really allow me to indulge in the sport.
I also went on exchange to Paris, France when I was in high school and as a result, I've learned French. Completely useless Parisian French which is no use to me in Canada. I've been back on this side of the pond for a few years now and my French is leaving me slowly. I should take a class or something.
The Girl
I'm shortish, chubbyish and dark blondish... I'm not anything really, just -ish. I have a diva side to me which loves shoes, fashion, and interior decoration. I wish I was domestic and I wish I could bake/knit/sew... but I can't. Until this summer, I've only had one long term relationship in my whole life, and a ton of short-term/non-term relationships. I am pretty sure I'm bisexual, but one can never know these days. I currently happily single.
The Adventurer
I crave nothing more than the experience. I love exploration, discovery, and adventure. I love going to new places and living amongst new cultures. I also love exploring an ancient place or a sacred place all by myself. (Like an old temple or a jungle grove.) I love travel more than anything in my life. It bothers me that there are so many countries in the world and I have only been to a handful of them. I want to go to every continent before I die.
I hope to go to Asia in the near future. I'd love to return to Europe and Mexico too. (P.S. I know Mexico isn't a continent, but I still love it.) I haven't been to South/Central America yet and I'd love to! I've always been interested in visiting Africa, but I will wait until some cause takes me there.
EDIT: I just went on a bit of a European adventure Christmas '08 with my ex-boyfriend. We went to the U.K., Italy, Switzerland, Czech Republic, and Norway (where he lived). It was an amazing experience!
The Nerd/Fangirl
I really am quite a nerd. I love Sci Fi movies sooo much. Robots fascinate me. My favourite movie is Logan's Run. I'm not 100% tech savvy... but I do love technology once I learn to use it. I also love the old Batman tv series, the original Star Trek, Star Wars, Firefly, The X-Files, etc.
I'm also quite fangirly about The Office, Jon Stewart, Nina Simone, The Sims 2, and Tarantino Flicks...

Don't know what to get me for my birthday? Chrimbo? BELTANE? Come check here.
Bubble Bath
I can never have enough!
Sleek All in 1 Charging Station
You can't deny its practicality. Its just part of my dream to be wireless (or wired but hidden).
Cute Area Rugs
Because the flooring in my apartment is so damn hideous.
Clocky Robotic Alarm
I desperately need this little guy to wake up. Even if I've had 12 hours of sleep, I love to just lounge in bed and stay asleep.
Popular Science, Mental Floss, Wired, or National Geographic Subscription
I know it makes me a total geek, but I def. still read back issues that I keep under my bed.
Headphone Earmuffs
I can barely believe these things exist, but know that I have pinched myself, I believe I NEED a pair!
Green Tea Set
Oooo I love it.
Indoor Herb Growing Kit
Medicinal
Culinary
Not this particular one, but something similar. I’d like both medicinal and culinary, but if I can only have one, Medicinal wins.
Roomba Sage for Pets or
Cheaper Basic Roomba
I'm paranoid about the robots rebelling, but damnit, I want clean floors and something to tackle pet hair/litter. And the price is actually quite reasonable compared to a regular upright. The cheaper one that isn't specialized for pet hair/litter is cheaper then the cheapest upright vacuum from Hoover.
Sleeping Bag Suit!
HOW CAN I NOT WANT ONE!??
HP - TouchSmart All-In-One TV Desktop with Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T8100
I know that I'm not likely to get this, but it would be nice. If Oprah, Ellen or some other omnipresent tv host is thereEquipped with a brilliant 25.5" touch screen and Blu-ray Disc player, this all-in-one computer displays movies and games in stunning high-definition... Oh god... PLZZZZZ
