it's been a while...

...since we've last seen each other.

i had an awesome weekend!

Evan came over and we chill'd. we listened to music, we talked about things, we reminisced, and we had a funeral.

there really isn't very much to do to keep oneself and/or one's company busy in the 'nish, but we made the most out of it and i know i had a great time.

i'm excited to go to Hali in the new year, once i'm finally 19! and we can go club'n and such. and i'll meet your awesome (artsy, NONscience) friends. and i'll get to see a side of Hali my eyes have never layed on.

and becky will come visit me in the new year also! for my birthday weekend. i'm vurry excited for that too. and maybe you'll come here next year?! =)

after the week of HELL last week, things are a little less stressful this week. i have some things coming up that are due, and that damn lab exam on saturday...    

but it'll all get done when the time comes.

ALSO. i jumped aboard the Baroness train. although i did not legitamately buy a copy of this amazing album by Sarah Slean, i enjoy every single track nonetheless. each song captivates you in one way or another, whether it's the soulful "Goodnight Trouble" or the mystical "Shadowland" with its overpowering harmonies. The Baroness truly portrays a lot of emotion with a resilient voice. 

AND! The Killers' new album, Day and Age comes out tomorrow!!! much excitement. i'm hoping that even in anti-go-nowhere, the trusty Wal-Mart will carry it on the actual date of release.

with such promising singles such as "Human" and "Spaceman", this album looks like it has shaped up to be another solid installment.

i love The Killers.

and Brandon Flowers.

and his voice.

and his...    FACE.

but i think that is all for now...

oh if only my trouble would take flight, sarah slean.

i'm just sayin..

that i'm a little intoxicated at the moment.

it's not the first time.. don't even worry.

but.. i was supposed to go to the library this evening, and be productive, but instead i decided to go get trashed with some friends. 

at first i was like.... ok, this is a problem. you're calling me at 4.30 in the afternoon, and you're already more than half in the bag, not to mention the fact that you've been drinking since 2.30 when your chem midterm was over. but then i was like.. what the hell, i honestly don't think i would have gotten that much work done anyway...

so i went, and hesitantly had a few victory shots with them. a few turned into... many. and many turned into drinking from 4.30 until almost 2:00 in the AM. 

not constant drinking of course. what, d'you think i'm an alcoholic?

pfft! no!

we went, and frolicked in the field, and chill'd in the bleachers, and hid in underneath the bushes/trees, and generally just had a good, intoxicated time. not to mention the INSANEawesome photos that were taken in the progress of these events.

it was a really great time, and i'm really glad that i have these grass stains on my pants and hands, rather than missing out on an exciting evening analyzing the population trends of duckweed. AMEN? .. i think so.

also, i told you guys that certain little thing. i still, to this moment, cannot believe i told you. i almost did, that one time.. last year. but i didn't.

and i'm SO much more comfortable with that now, and it just sort of... came out.

in a sense.

by the way.. i would just like to point out that i am currently still drunk, and do you actually see that many typos and spelling errors?

i think not.

as i've drunkenly told a lot of you - i know - i'm an excellent typist when i'm drunk and i take a great amount of pride in that.

jokes all around.

have a good day

(while i'm hungover and regret the pouring of bad chemicalz into my body).

♥C.

who will drive my soul?

i'm guessing it's not going to be you, but that's ok

i guess.

thanks to a certain little kettle, i finally know the name and artist of this song i've been waking up to in the mornings. i lo'e it. thanks, carole. :)

midterms are FINALLY done. actually, i finished on monday, but i just figured i would announce it now. better now then never, right? ... but whatever. all i have ahead of me presently are projects, assignments, papers(actually, just one - i'm an effing science student!) and the like. shit, that formal lab report for ecology is going to be a TASK. i think i will start that tonight. it's gonna be one busy weekend. but that's not such a bad thing, i suppose. keeping oneself busy keeps oneself's thoughts distracted and off of a certain one person.

oh, i rediscovered how awesome metric is! i kinda... forgot about them. then, the other day i stumbled across them in myTunes, and listened to their albums, and was captivated once again.

emily haines makes my life complete.

when she was seven years old 

she saw a man get shot, but 

no one came for a long time because it happened in a 

remote parking lot

in las vegas and

she was

waiting for her mom to come back from workin the

black jack table at the

circus circus casino and

that night, her mom said that the two of them and the now dead guy

were the only three people who ever really lived in las vegas

everybody else

just arrived,

ate their complementary shrimp cocktail

and left.

no, i cannot write so eloquently as she can. though i certainly wish i could. but do you remember that one time, in the parking lot, with those spanish chill'uns?

doing dishes dries out my hands real bad. i think i'm going to the library tonight. yup, spending a friday evening at the library. what fun. but sometimes it's gotta be done. but hey, at least i don't have any studying to do! 

and also, i'm going to see a play tomorrow, put on by Theatre Antigonish (for those of you who don't know, Antigonish is the small, middle-of-bum-fuck-nowhere town in which the university i attend is located, affectionately called "Anti-go-nowhere," "the 'nish," and others i'm sure). it's going to be lots of fun. i can see the Theatre Antigonish building from my window - it's right across the parking lot. i've walked passed it many a time, but had just never gone to see one of the plays. but i am tomorrow, a'ight?

in the attempt of writing about something meaningful, i just sat here and typed out any random thought that popped into my brain, so i do apologize for how vapid(proper context??... whatever, i'm not an arts student) this is. 

but you did bitch at me to make a new post, so that's what i did.

i only aim to please.

lolololol

♥C.

ps: be strong. i know it's hard, but you can get through this.

i know you can. :)

unearth'd myTunes!

thanks to a certain newfound aussie, i went rummaging through my library on iTunes. first, i started off with assigned task of finding my "most played" song. it turned out to be iMogen Heap's "Headlock" which surprised me a lil, but i love her so. 

i then started playing around with the arrangings of songs (you know, arranging them by play count, artist, date modified, etc.). i arranged the songs by "last played" so that the list started with songs that hadn't been months. when i did this, i found all these wonderful tracks that hadn't been fully played since like.. march or april earlier this year. i felt it was such a crime that these wonderful tunes by great artists hadn't been given a justified listening-to in such a long time. so, starting with "This Lamb Sells Condos" by Final Fantasy (last played: 3/15/2008), i went down the list, going through march, april, may,... and rediscovered all these great songs that had almost been forgotten.

i am now at "Karma Police" by Radiohead (last played: 5/13/2008).

so now i challenge you to do the same (leave a comment with the song and artist you unearth'd!). rediscover these little ditties. who knows, maybe you had linked an interesting memory to one of these songs - a memory you had temporarily misplaced at the back of your mind. [there's no hope for the village]

gimme more o' that beat.  ♫♪

♥C.

just say goodnight and go.

you've got my heart in a headlock;

why'd you have to be so cute?

you really are cute. i just think you should know that. the things you do, your motions and mannerisms. the way you talk, the way you walk, the way you smile. the way you make me smile. it can be quite irresistible at times.

it's impossible to ignore you.

everytime we cross paths, i feel a rush of adrenaline running through my veins. it's quite invigorating. i know i shouldn't feel that, i'm sure you don't. but i just can't help that. everytime you open your mouth to speak, i hear every word. you come in here and we chat, and i love it.

must you make me laugh so much?

you are really quite humourous. at times i take your jokes in a slightly different, more personal way. i do know better, honest. but sometimes i just can't help that either.

it's bad enough we get along so well...

maybe it wouldn't hurt as much if we weren't so familiar. i try to distance myself, i really do. but you make that hard sometimes.

we'd be good. we'd be great together.

no, we really wouldn't. it would never work. you're different. that makes me sad, but i know better anyway. i've accepted it. i knew it the whole time actually. but that doesn't help matters.

there's so much more i could say, but. just...

go.

thanks, imogen heap. you really help me at trying times like these. :)

p.s. sorry.... it's not open for business. ;)
