Two weeks until Valentine's Day. Two weeks until my birthday dinner. Two weeks until my hairs are snipped. Two weeks until I go to Vancouver. Two weeks (and a couple days) until I see my boy.
Finally, things are starting to get fun. The countdown is on, so I am getting totally stoked.
This week coming up, I have a 81 math problems to do, an English paragraph to hand in, a lab, an astronomy assignment due, a math midterm, and a poetry close reading. Wow, if that doesn't make time fly, I don't know what will!
I am happy that I am going to be busy.. because in one week, cool things start happening.
I can't believe the weekend is here again already.
goody!

i like my body when it is with
your body. it is so quite a new thing.
muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body. i like what it does,
i like its hows. i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones, and the trembling
-firm-smoothness and which i will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh ... and eyes big love-crumbs,
and possibly i like the thrill
of under me you so quite new.

three weeks
This weekend I decided to have a low-key weekend because of all the studying I had ahead of me. However, I still managed to have a bit of fun. On Friday night, Sierra, Alex, and I went down to blockbuster to pick up some movies: we got Saw 4, and the other one.. I can't remember the name. Then we headed over to the liquor store to pick out some wine. They had free samples of wine; I was happy. So we bused back to campus, and then stopped at my convenient store, and I told the girls to pick out whatever they wanted (I really need to use up my points, and we were having a junk night).. so we got basically EVERYTHING. We headed back to Sierra's and watched both movies, ate too much, and played some cards too! It was a good night.
On Saturday, us three headed downtown to May Fair for a little shopping action. We looked a lot, but in the end Alex and I picked up some stuff from RW (the sale rack of course! haha). Then Alex and I continued on to the Bay Centre where we had a little lunch, and shopped a little more (this time, no purchases)..
I parted ways with Alex, and went to meet my cousin and Amy at Starbucks. We headed out from there, and trekked back to Carli's, and then over to Thrifty's to pick up some groceries for dinns. We decided to get some frozen appys, veggies and noodles for stir fry, and whip cream and wafers for zebra cake.
We bused back to Carli's house, but got off at the wrong stop, and had to walk about 4 blocks. Then once home we cracked open the huge bottle of wine we got, started drinking, and cooking. Everything turned out really great besides the fact that the noodles were over cooked, and we made enough for about 10 people.
Around 11, Amy and I left to go catch a bus home. Her bus arrived right away, but I had to wait 20 minutes for mine. I decided to walk more into downtown because there was a strange man watching me. I ended up walking all over the place to find a bus, and when I finally stopped, I realized I had missed all the other buses except for the very last one. So I got home around 12:15.. and I was a bit rattled at the bus schedule because they hardly run on weekends and I was mad about that man looking at me.
Then yesterday (Sunday)... I basically spent all day in bed studying, reading, and napping. It was a good weekend.
Three weeks until reading break, and boyfriend time! hip hip.
Also, happy birthday to Lauren, who is 20 today!

happy weekend
Well hello again, weekend. I am very happy that it is finally weekend time. The week days seem to go by fast, but the weekends are just so much better. This weekend I will have to get my study on; I have my first Psych test on Monday afternoon.. so I need to start learning terms, and memorizing.
As for fun things... tomorrow night, Sierra and I (and hopefully Alex, too!) have planned a movie night with some junk food. We are in desperate need of some CHIPS. hehe.
On Saturday, I think that Amy, Carli, and I are having a dinner party. We are going to cook up some delicious meal (fingers crossed*), and some dessert, too!
January is almost over, and I am terribly excited. February brings really good things.. so I am in great anticipation.
cheers to the weekend!

on your shore
I have been having a really good week so far. On Monday, I was busy all day with classes until six that night. However, I managed to work on homework in the evening. Yesterday I just had my lab in the afternoon. I woke up early to finish up an astronomy assignment. I had a great time in my lab too! I found the lab pretty easy, and it wasn't all that long.. so I didn't mind. I came home and did even more homework. I sent my psych paper off to my Dad, and wrote up my lab. Labs can take a good 3-4 hours just to write up, so I wanted to finish it.
Last night, I also watched One Tree Hill (thank god, Nathan cut his hair.. no more mullet. haha), and HGTV. I am catching up on my design ideas for my own place next year.
I also talked to my boy, and we tried to figure out how to use ichat (he just got a macbook...). At first, I was really frustrated because I couldn't get mine to work, and Dale already had his all set up. So I called up Sammy, and he made a new account for me, and ta-da! It works! But now, Dale's video doesn't work with mine or SamSam's. So now we are both frustrated.
Today I am going to work on some math practice problems with Amy, and I don't have classes until 3:30.. but I'll go until about nine.
Cashmere Mafia is on tonight. Hip Hip.

keep me in your pocket
would you like the chance to shatter heaven?
would you like to be the one who pulls the sky down just for me?
round, and round, we run, and pretend the sun is all you need.
i've never know a moment to be frozen
you're making deals with minutes that will slip away, just slip away
is your armor thin again?
do i wanna wear it down?
am i worthy to come in?
do you wanna be found?
nothing into something into nothing.
oh, every rule you break means there's no turning back, no looking back.
the words that i could never say, the clutter that is in your way is nothing new.

Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep.
Walk out the door and up the street; look at the stars beneath my feet.
Hello, hello. There is no place I cannot go.
My mind is muddy but my heart is heavy. Does it show?
I lose the track that loses me, so here I go.
And maybe someday we will meet, and maybe talk and not just speak.
Don't buy the promises 'cause, there are no promises I keep.

kisses and cake
last night, alex, sierra, and i went to see p.s. i love you.
i haven't seen a movie since the notebook that has made me cry that hard, and for the ENTIRE movie. i just kept crying and crying, and i looked to either side of me, and my besties were crying too.
so then after the movie, we all just headed home. i went to the little store to pick up some snacks and water.. and then i came back to my room to talk to my boy.
i also downloaded the whole p.s. i love you soundtrack, which i am currently listening to now.
today i have to start my psych paper, and i think sierra and i are heading to michael's to scope out some crafty stuff. and then more working on my paper.
i was going to go for another run today, but it's pouring rain! blah. oh well, there is always tomorrow.

~falling fast.
today was filled with happiness.
i woke up this morning to go downtown with alex to the hospital. she was applying for a cleaning job there.. so we went on a little adventure down to the basement.
while she got interviewed i sat and said good morning to all the workers that came in, played solitaire, and texted my lover boy.
afterwards, we came back up to the school. i went for a brief run. i was not feeling it today.. but it felt good to go at least for a bit.
then, i bused down to safeway to pick up some groceries.. including jell-o!
but, i had to call my mom to figure out how to make jell-o, there were no instructions on the package.
then, i went over to the bookstore to meet alex and sierra.. and we shopped around. they have the most wonderful things there. and i found a beautiful journal to do some crafting/journaling/creativeness in it! sierra and alex also found some good finds.
i came back to my room to do some reading, and not so much reading. but i have managed to get one chapter read for astro.
i get all day off tomorrow until 3:30 .. so i guess i'll be still homeworking then too.
tonight, one tree hill is on. and i might journal a bit.
love and hearts.

plan b
last night carli, amy, and i got together up at res. we started drinking, and we drank super fast, and i managed to get tipsy off just one cooler.
then we played some guitar hero, took pictures, and headed out. we took the 14 downtown, and jeeze was i ever car sick. i just wanted to get off. so then we hit up plan b and danced and danced. we danced really hard. and then my feet started to KILL me. so we took a breather and danced more.
carli and amy then found themselves some boys, so here i was dancing alone, and texting on the dance floor.
we drank more.
then we danced more.
and finally carli and i gave up, and sat down, while amy kept on dancing.
at two, we left, and started to walk back to carli's. she lives pretty close, but our toes hurt soo bad.. we took our shoes off. and people starting YELLING at us that we had better put our shoes back on or else we were going to get crack needles stuck in our feet. so we put our shoes back on, and finally made it back to carli's.
we ordered pizza, and scarfed it down, and then i think i passed out a little bit, because all the sudden carli was tucking me into bed.
it was a darn good night.

tiffany's table manners for teenagers
"it is customary for the young man to help the young lady on his right to be seated. when you have been seated, don't look around like a startled beetle. turn directly to the young lady on your right and start talking."
"don't chew with your mouth open, and don't smack your lips. not only is it unappetizing, but it interferes with other people's conversations."
"if you spill water on your partner's dress, offer her your napkin and say you're sorry. but don't start mopping her. it might be misunderstood."

hey, stripper.
the first week of second semester done. hip hip.
this week has sure been a long one.. i have jam packed days, but i still get every friday off, and every second tuesday off. so it is pretty nice.
my classes seem harder this semester, but i am really going to try to work hard to get better marks. the classes that i am taking this semester are: math 160B, intro to nutrition, astro, poetry, and psych 210 (a history of psych).. so its all pretty much the same as last semester, except with some poetry added in.
this weekend, i already have a million readings to do, and things to catch up on. so i have been reading psych and nutrition all day today, and taking lots of breaks to watch one tree hill.
i finished the 4th season of one tree hill this morning. i bawled my eyes out. not because they were gradding, or growing up, and moving on.. but because of the amazing relationships that they have. there are so many different people in love on that show, and it just amazes me, because i can see a part of dale and my relationships in all of theirs.
i also cried at the part, when i thought lucas' mom was dying. it was a really touching part of the show.
but anyways, the 5th season started on the cw on tuesday. it was two hours long, but i only got to see parts of it. but again, it made me cry and cry and cry.
so this week has also been really long, because i am still missing my boy terribly, and it seems like so long since i have seen him, but really its only been five days. i am counting the days until reading break, when i'm in his arms again.
i am trying to get back into running, so i have been running a few times, and walking everywhere. instead of taking the bus, i try to opt for walking at least halfway or so. and my legs have been definitely feeling it! haha.
tonight alex, sierra, and i are going to watch a vball game, and then maybe watch a movie afterwards.
ooh!
alex made me the most wonderful present for christmas. its like a collage on three separate things, and its a big audrey hepburn quote. it's really pretty. i think i'll post a picture of it later on
cheers to february.

it girl.
i just watched factory girl with sienna miller, and i loved every minute of it. especially the parts where breakfast at tiffany's and audrey were mentioned.
plus, i just really love sienna miller.
back to the basics.
so i am back in school, i started classes on thursday, and i am having my first full day today. i have 4 classes today! that is quite a bit for one day. i came back to victoria on wednesday night with dale. it was really fun to take the ferry over with him and i.
however, we had to take a ferry to nanaimo, and then drive to victoria, because all the victoria ferries were full. we ended up getting home only a bit later than we had expected. that night dale and i ate subway and watched movies. we brought so much stuff back here, so my room was extremely full of clutter, and you couldn't see the floor.
I had class early thursday morning: it was my poetry class. i think that class will be fun; we just read out poems and try to analyze them.. there isn't a lot of teaching going on... more just ideas and thoughts.
then i had math at one. i am unsure on how this course is going to go, because it seems that it is more learning how to teach for elementary classes, and really understand how numbers and laws work. it is boring.
then i ended up skipping my psych class in the afternoon, because alex, dale, and i went out for lunch, then to chapters and the mall. we were in search for a book for dale, but had no such luck. however, alex found a cocktail book, and i found an audrey hepburn one. neither of us bought them though.
thursday night dale and i went for dinner and a movie.
friday: we slept in, worked out, got my text books, went for an early supper, and then later on met up with alex for drinks at christy's pub.
saturday: grocery shopped with alex, and drove around for hours trying to find a place to fill the air on dale's car tires. then dale and i just went for dinner and drinks, and then came home to play guitar hero and watch dane cook. i fell asleep for a bit, and then we played more guitar hero when i woke up around 12.
dale left early sunday morning, it was really sad. both of us were having a really hard time saying good bye. we haven't been apart for this amount of time (until the middle of february) before. it'll be about a month and a half, and the most we have been apart is like a month. i am terribly lonely, and i will probably be sad until i get back into school, and a routine of my own. it's just hard because we are always spending short amounts of time together, and always have to say goodbye. it never gets easier.
the good thing about long distance is that i believe it makes our relationship stronger and better. and it's fun to go on trips to see each other and realize how much we miss each other when we get together.
so yesterday i fell back asleep for a bit after dale left, and a big cry fest. it was weird to wake up, and he wasn't there anymore. i walked him out to his car, and watched him drive off.. that was sad.
so for the rest of the day i did a huge clean/reorganization of my room and drawers and closet, vacuumed and everything! then i walked down to blockbuster to return some movies, and came back home to play some guitar hero by myself.
i went to alex's for dinner, and to watch gossip girl, and do some laundry. it was a good time just chatting and hanging out.
today i have had two classes so far, and in half an hour i have psych, and right after nutrition. i am excited for both of them.
then sierra and i are going to alex's for dinner again, and to watch factory girl. i am excited for that too.
anyways, there is my big update!
cheers.

stop and stare.
2008.
it has arrived!
last night, my love and i spent the evening together. we started out at a place called the Gold Fish, we were going to have dinns there.. but decided that nothing on the menu was really catching our eyes. so we each had a drink (as to not upset the waitress).. and then bolted out of there to Joey's.
we love joeys... so we were definitely glad to be somewhere were the atmosphere was a bit more our taste.. so we had dinner and drinks and spent a good three hours just sitting with each other and doing a bit of cuddling in our booth.
afterwards dale wanted to go to the casino.. so we headed off to there.. and tried our luck at guessing lucky numbers for roulette. we had no luck.. so we got hats and noise makers, and left around 11.
we then went to the bar/lounge at our hotel and had a final drink before the clock struck 12. we went up to our room to watch the countdown, and then had a new year's photo shoot which included jumping on the bed and wearing our hats. haha.
then we slept in our king sized bed, and were late for our check out..
