Dad had the lock nuts taken off the tires at a dealership, so the car is good to go for tomorrow.
I’m excited and as such have been shirking my studying, which is not so good. I will make up for it later, though.
That’s all I have to say. :D

I finally cleaned my laptop screen and keyboard and stuff. It’s so cleeaaaan and there’s no more dust on it and no more smudges on the screen and… mmmm it’s sexy.
That’s all I really have to say I think.
I slept in until like… 11 this morning. Then I couldn’t come down to study ’cause mom was still working on stuff down here. But now the basement is mostly back together. And now I must study teh Japanese. And now that I think about it, I don’t think it will be all that hard to study. I just have to memorize some vocab and work on the kanji. The grammar patterns will be easy to get back in to, I just have to look at them again and then practice them a bit.
Calgary soon. This will be so many firsts for Shay. Leaving the province, building themed Lego… :D

I just learned that I can now run my own music in the background of Folding on my PS3. That’s pretty sweet. I’ll have to get some of my music on the hard drive. Then I can study, fold, and listen to music on the big speakers. :D

Great. My fucking father lost the key for the tires. He can’t remember what he did with it after he changed the tires. What does this mean? It means that if we can’t find it, we can’t take my car to Calgary ’cause we can’t change the tires in case we get a flat. Which means we’d have to take Shay’s car, which I’m pretty sure still has winter tires because, hey, she didn’t have to worry about it if we were going to take my car. God, Dad, thanks for fucking shit up for everyone, AGAIN. He claims he has no memory problems, but we all know that he does. He just likes to place the blame for his mistakes on someone else ’cause he refuses to admit that he’s wrong.
Fuck.
Fuck fuck fuck fuckity fuck. Things were going so well, the plan was GREAT until he decided he was Mr. I Can Do It All Myself. Fuck.
Sidenote: Sarika, I found your ankh ring in my car.

Went to the gay dance with Cam and Shay tonight. It wassssssss pretty much hilariously amazing. Many gay boy kisses and dancing adventures and and and and we got Cam to actually dance ^-^ It was an amazing sight. SHAY AND I WIN LIFE.
The Archaeology exam was easy for the most part, though there were definitely some questions that I just didn’t know. It only took me about thirty minutes to complete, though, so that was nice. I went to the mall with Sarika afterwards and we farted around and I bought shirts (since I needed a white shirt for tonight). Then she left and Cam came to meet me at the mall. I bought MORE shirts (from Spencer’s this time!) because they were fucking adorable and I loved them. So I ended up wearing the white shirt I bought with Sarks as an undershirt since the shirt I bought with Cam needed one. So really it all worked out in the end. Cam and I met up with Arthur and Cam got his toys from the post office.
That’s all you get tonight. I am le tired.

Stonehenge is amazing.
I love that we call Professor Patricia Lasserre “Patty Laser”. Best nickname ever. I’d be her sidekick any day.

Wow. Okay. I thought our Archaeology test was at 1pm tomorrow, but it’s actually at 9:30am. Good thing I checked! This also means that I am going to bed right now. BYEBYE.
Holy shit, this one might get really, really long, convoluted and confusing. I’ll do my best to remember it all and lay it out.
The first part of the dream, I was in a little modest country house wearing a plain, modest country dress. I was randomly insecure and was having some girls over that night for some sort of small… tea-time party, if that makes any sense. Not like a big party, but just a small one where a bunch of girls come over all dressed up. So I spent the time beforehand sewing the dress that I was wearing into something more fancy. It was red shiny silky fabric with black lace laid over it. By the time people had come over, I had only finished the skirt portion, as well as the arms. The cuffs of the arms remained my simple fabric, as did the torso. So my friends arrived and of course there’s always one friend who outdoes everyone else ’cause she’s rich. So she came over decked out in beautiful dress and all, thus making me a little sad ’cause I’m insecure. I also had this thing with the shade on the window. I had vinyl miniblinds on my window, as well as a roll down shade. My window was open a bit (it slid from right to left to open), the blinds were down, and the shade was up. For some reason, I was really nervous all night because of this. So we went off and had some tea and talked gossip and other silly things that country girls do (I’m getting a serious Anne of Green Gables from this portion of the dream), all the while the rich friend always kind of making me feel like I wasn’t quite as good as her. So when all my friends were off in another room, I went back to work on my dress in my room. One of my other friends came in then, one of those friends that always tries to make you feel better because that’s just how she is, if that makes any sense. So we talked about stuff and she said that my dress was pretty as it was, but she helped me work on it some more. Then she left the room and I continued to work on my dress myself well into the early morning while my friends were out talking. But as the night went on, I got more and more paranoid about my window. Eventually I closed the window and put the shade down. Then I got even more paranoid and started doing it to my other windows in my room. Then, in a random bout of emotion, I took the dress I was working on and folded it up in a fit and shoved it in a dresser drawer ’cause I was upset with it. Then I started rearranging my room and tidying up while my friends watched weirdly ’cause they didn’t know wtf I was doing or why. Then I crawled into my bed and decided to go to bed for the night… morning. This sparked another dream that had NOTHING to do with what just happened.
(I can only remember bits of this one when I’m trying to recall it, but when I just think about it for an instant, it all comes back to me, if that makes ANY sense. So I’ll try my best) My dream within a dream started out as such, but after a while it started feeling like just a dream that I was having. In it, I had new friends. They were Cam, Craig, a cartoon man named John (don’t ask, I don’t know), and a beaver (Narnia anyone?). So it started out that I was alone, and I was the “me” from the first part of the dream. It was kind of like a video game, a voice was telling me what to do. I was in this jungle/beach type area (now that I think about it, it very much resembled one screen or area that you’d see in a video game; I was contained to this one area throughout the whole dream). In the water, there we these really tall vines with big leaves on the top that I could jump around on and stuff. There was one part with weird tunnels, just three of them, a main one that would connect with the “exit” that I couldn’t go through, and the other two branched off to dead ends where “things” were awaiting me. Out from the ocean-y area with the tall leaf plant things, there’s a little river branching off and up the forest-y hill (the beach area was devoid of trees, obviously) which was obviously flowing into the ocean. Across this stream, there was a bit more beach, but it was giving way to forest so it had some growth on it. To the right, there was a path going uphill into the forest jungle thing, to the left, more beachy-growth that eventually led to a small dropoff that would go down into the ocean. From this dropoff edge, one could jump onto the leaves of the ocean leaf plant things and jump from leaf to leaf to get to the top.
So it started with this voice telling me that I needed to go to these different portions of the area to fulfill certain acts and such (getting a Shadow of the Colossus vibe here). Along the way, I encounter various creatures, not all good, obviously. In the two small branch off tunnels, there were lions. One had a male lion, the other had a lioness and two cubs. The voice just told me to go there as my task. So I guess I was supposed to piss them off? ‘Cause I did and they started chasing me. I jumped on the leaf plants to get away. Eventually they took off into the forest. I got down and my next task was to cross the stream (which was not a task ’cause you just walk right through it, it only came up to mid-calf maybe), but also get past the weird swampy creatures that were in the shallows of the ocean. Some of them were your average swamp things, hairless, rubbery skin, kinda look like goblins with long tails that they like to beat you with. Another swamp-type creature that I remembered was similar to the goblin thing, but he was wearing torn shorts and instead of a tail, he had a 4×4 which, when he would swing it at you, grew to about 4 times its normal length. I got by him and had to run back to the leaf plants where there was a shiny red stone orb thing that I had to get. So I went and got that, then jumped back down the leaves to the cliff edge behind the goblin guys, and I ran up the path that went into the forest, thus running “off the screen into a new area” if it were a video game.
I ended up waking up in my prairie house. My friends were still around for some reason and it was still dark out. I looked around, getting tabs on where my friends were. Then, I walked into my closet and shut the door. I walked toward the wall and ended up coming out in the jungle dreamland again. This time, I had Cam, Craig, and John with me. Unlike the first time, though, the place was completely chaotic. The lions were running around everywhere, the goblins were out in force, there were birds every divebombing everything, even the insects were mad. So Cam, Craig, John and I had to make it to the exit while surviving this mess. John kept proposing we do things but I had to correct him since I had already been through it all. So we epicly rolled about and avoided lions and such and such until we got to the exit. When we walked through the exit, “I” crawled out from my bed. Not like, as if I was lying it, but like, I emerged from the mattress, then crawled out from under the covers. It was just starting to get light out and my friends were about ready to go home. I opened my window shades, but not the blinds. I let my friends out and cleaned up my room one last time. I woke up just as I left my room.
It was way more epic to actually experience it.

Sarika. I need your address, kid. MSN me sometime.
Gonna pick up Shay today and we’re gonna go get my package in Kelowna and then fart around in Westbank, look at alternative shaving methods, look at mics since I need a new one, get a few other items and mayhaps purchase some bras for myself as I could use some more. I should actually be studying Archaeology instead of doing this, but my day’s already kind of eaten up by work and taxes anyway, so why not? Plus Shay can get a feel for my car. And we can rock out to some awesome music.
Anyway…. whoosh.

Yeeeah, I’m done. I’m not even going to bother fighting whatever the hell he says anymore. No point if Mom is just gonna jump on me for it, even if he deserves to be fought. I had been out of the shower for five minutes and was interrogated about showing me how to use his tax program. Okay, that’s great. So I responded with I wasn’t sure when I would have time, ’cause it’s finals time. So I told him he could go ahead and do this one and I would sit down with him for the next one. He SPAZZES at me saying that he wants me to do the next one MYSELF. Why this matters, I’m not exactly sure, considering my taxes are really easy since I’m young and have a minimum wage job. Fuck, it’s not like I said I wouldn’t do it. I’m the one who came to him asking if he could show me how. So, in true dad fashion, he adapts this as his idea and then jumps on me for not wanting do it when he wants to do it. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I hate that he makes me hate this place. I shouldn’t have to loathe being at home with my family.
Anyway… Gonna buy the Dune and Children of Dune sets and get them sent to Sarika’s house so she can pick them up while I’m out of town. Hurray!
I’m in a decent mood this morning. Well, if I ignore the Dad stuff.
I need to start going over Archaeology soon. I have a lot to cover by next Saturday and today is mostly eaten up by work, tomorrow evening will be eaten up by work, Tuesday will be eaten up by fun and Thursday is eaten up by work. Should get a move on with it tonight or tomorrow. I wanna do well. Rawr.
Haaa. Now they’re arguing about me. What the helllllllllll. Hockey stiiiiiiicks.
Anyway. I work at 2. Wewts.
[11:11am]
I miss dancing and figure skating. I wanna get back into the shape I used to be in and maybe pick up skating again. Maybe. I’unno, I miss doing it. Either way, my next goal in life is getting back into shape. I used to be so fit. D:
[7:27pm]
So after getting yelled at this morning about setting aside a time for taxes, what does he do? He forgets about it and goes out with John for coffee and says we’ll do it tomorrow. Yeah, thanks for yelling at me for nothing.

I woke up today.
And it’s SNOWING.
SHUT UP, MOTHER NATURE.
So I’m thinking of buying Frank Herbert’s Dune DVD set. Amazon has it for like $8. Might as well get Children of Dune while I’m at it. They’re both equally as cheap. Five DVDs for $30 with shipping, good deal. But, I will have to wait until I return from my Calgary trip because the shipping wouldn’t get it here before I leave D: I want it nooooow. -whine-

They’re arguing about Shane and Patrice. I don’t want to hear it anymore. I just want him to shut up and stop making things worse.
I’ve lost almost all ability to write poetry. The best I can do is come up with one liners, but I can’t build off of it. This sucks.

The Econ exam was ridiculous, as expected. Probably didn’t pass, thus failing the course. But I don’t care. I’m making up for it this summer. As I was handing my test in, Aslani made the comment that I was smart ’cause I’m female since I remembered the number of the sign in sheet that I signed coming in to the exam. Haaaa. Won’t be saying that when he sees my test. God that was awful. I’m done feeling awful about it. I’m finally finished with it forever.
I finished my Japanese “worksheet” tonight. Just have to do my recording. Might do it later tonight after watching a movie. If not, I guess I’ll be doing it tomorrow after Sarika and Steph leave. Hoping to do it tonight and get it out of the way though.
I like the music and the melody of Nick Lachey’s “What’s Left of Me” song. If someone else were singing it and the words were different, I think I’d listen to it. But since it’s Nick Lachey and he’s singing about his stupid divorce, no.
Feeling slightly better than last night.
Random urge to cut my hair off again.
Woots.

We got our essays back last night through email with our marks. I got 73% on my shittyass Heart of Darkness essay. YES. I’ve done the math and, even WITHOUT including the “engagement mark” which is worth 10% (lawl I pretty much never participated), I still pass the class if I get 0 on the final exam. I mean, it’s not a great pass, but it’s still a pass. You have no idea how much stress this relieves for me. And I test much better when I am less stressed about the test. :)
Hour and a half until t-time.
[11:01pm]
If I could go outside and scream and beat something right now, I would.
