a wonderful story, from a wonderful person.

on messenger awhile ago, meaghan told me this dear little story. first i'll give you some context. then the story shall follow. i disconnected or something. and when i came back she did a birthday cake (^) [that's important to know for the story]. the cake was cuz it was a welcome back partay for me. so then i told her how i told alicia the other day how andy had said that :D that smilie and the sunglasses smilie (H) looked like jaypee and jeff respectively. then alicia said i was the birthday cake. so then meg asked what she was, and i said (S) .. the moon. so then this followed. enjoy, as i did.

Once upon a time, (S) was walking around a darkened wood. (S) was scared.

After much wandering and a few frights from sounds coming from deep inside the wood, (S) came across a little (^) sitting on a stump.

(S) asked (^) what she was doing there (because (^) was a she) and (^) replied "I sit on this stump to help poor wandering souls like yourself find their way out."

(S) smiled and asked if (^) wouldn't mind accompanying her through the wood because she was scared of the things that lurked behind the trees.

(^) agreed to help, but only if her friends :D and (H) could come along.

(S) was excited. After weeks of wandering on her own, (S) finally had some friends to help her out.

:D was great fun on the trip (for (S) thought of it more like a trip now that she had such good friends with her) because he said funny words like "torso" and "belly button". (H) helped with her guitar-playing, and (^) watched on with her effortless wisdom, taking in the lovely scenes that transpired there.

When they were almost out of the wood, (S) asked (^), "Why is it you sit in the wood by yourself? Why don't you ever leave and go home?"

(^) replied simply, "If I left my stump, who would help everyone who gets lost and scared on their way?"

(S) returned home safely and said goodbye to her great new friend (^), who (S) promised to go visit at every chance she could get. That way, (S) figured, (^) wouldn't get lonely like most good people are.

And they were great friends forever and ever. The end.

isn't that awesome? it made me smile. and it brought tears to my eyes. cuz i'm a sap like that. wanna see a picture of my cat? okay.



ain't he a sweetie? lol. yeah. on the winter's page there's a place where you can have a scrapbook. for me, this means free uploading. yay.

i think i'm done now.

and it's beginning to snow....

well, no, it's not. but i quite like christmas bells from rent. nice song. yay.

hmm.. long time no posty. and lots of people's blogs are going all strange. ie their sidebars are not appearing. namely in chandra's and ja-9's.

wonder if my template is existing yet? will check that out in a minute.

hey man, i'm illin'. gotta get my sickness up.

i'm leafing through my book of shakespeare quotations that chandra's mum gave me last year. yay shakespeare.

um... i've been up to not much. he that sleeps feels not the tooth-ache. i sleep in till 11, 11-30 ish. get dressed, make the bed. feed the dogs. take the dogs out. do jane's dogs. walk to the mailbox. i eat at somepoint. fruit usually. then i come back and chill. then i take the dogs for a long walk. come back.

mon, wed and fri, i excercise with the koolatron as it's called, and do crunches. while watching xfiles, of course. i've decided 6k each time on the machine is good. at an average speed of 80 k/h.

then i do something. like make birthday presents, go on the computer, watch tv. something to entertain me till the next time i take the dogs. then katie gets home. and i continue busying myself. eat dinner at some point. vegetables are usually involved. and i drink lots of water throughout the day.

keep fit and have fun... body break!

yeah. then i go on the computer at 8 or 9. till about 11 or 12 when i go to sleep. it's quite a nice day, i like it. and therefore don't really want a job. cuz then i won't have the time to do all my walks and excercising and all that. and i need to be more fit by the end of the summer... cuz i sorta promised myself i would. and while i never break promises with others, i often do with those made to myself. so i'm gonna start keeping those promises. and this is the first one: must stick with fitness plan dealie. second is to do much better in school next year.

i got my grades. they're online. here they are. ...

first semester (i already knew these ones... they're bad. i slacked off way too much)

critical issues in the studio 3.0 credits (snoozefest!) c+
painting 3.0 credits (this is only cuz my lack of excitement for the class. he told me. i think i have a mild case of add.) c+

okay, so they suck, i know. but like clare said last nite, they're not too bad for slacking off. which i did a little less of

winter semester

painting 3.0 credits (much more exciting than last class) b
drawing 3.0 credits (horrid class with a horrid teacher) b

full year courses

italian 6.0 credits (okay, i didn't try. i wish i had. i'll teach myself the language this summer) c+
art history 6.0 credits (i knew almost all of it already) b+
FACS 6.0 credits (i'm proud of this one. cuz i tried.) b+

so there they are. taking into account the credit value of each course, i'm looking at a b average. which, it being university is not too too bad. and can still get osap. but i can't get my entrance scholarship. damn that. but i'll have a job next year, so it's okay. and my marks will be better, like i said. i won't have distractions like friends living in such close proximity. lol.

kay, i'm gonna check on the template now.

will i wake tomorrow from this nitemare?

i had the weirdest dream last nite!! okay, here goes.

~it is next year.
~diane is visiting.
~there is supposed to be a rave in the 4th floor common room.
~me and andy and diane and other people are there.
~we are quickly getting bored waiting for this rave to start.
~the lights are all colour-strobey-techno party lights.
~diane has this new drug.
------okay. you know tim horton's cups? you know their lids? you know the part that you peel up to open it? well, this "new drug" was a white cream. with those little plastic bits in it. except that they were smaller and grey. i think they were just little pills that looked like that. and you smear this cream on your face to get high.------
~so it's just me, andy, diane and these other weird dorky people. ted was there. and i think he kept morphing into sketch.
~so andy and diane start smearing this crap on their faces. and i figure, well, you're not really ingesting the drug, so it's not bad. so i smear it on my face too.
~so we're sitting there, in this room, with this cream on our faces, with freaky dorks beside us. and nothing is happening. and i'm all "i'm not high" ha. right.
~then andy was all sick. so ted took him to the bathroom. cuz suddenly it was ted's drugs that we were doing, so he was all responsible for us. ted also had cream crap on his face at this point.
~so he takes andy to this bathroom. but it was a weird bathroom. it was (for york people) that little room with the locked door beside the girl's side kitchen. and he peed in a joint bathroom that was beside it, while andy puked.
~meanwhile, me and diane are in the common room. diane was quickly becoming pissed that nothign is happening. there was some other guy in there who i know, but i dont' know who it was. and i was getting very very very hyper. and running around in circles and acting like a crazy person. yet i insisted i was not high. so diane was laughing at me.
~then i went to the bathroom, the girls bathroom near the kitchen. and while in there, erin comes in. and she's dressed up like a fairy. and she's with tony and tanya and those people who she doesn't hang around with.
~i was at the mirror, the one on the opposite side of the sinks, looking at myself. but i don't remember what i looked like. then erin slid this flyer thing on the counter. and i was looking out my own eyes at this point. i dont remember what she was showing me. i think it was somethign about drugs, but i coudl be wrong. tony and tanya and them were very drunk.

i think that's all i can remember. so i might have woken up then. it was weird. i liked it. : )

i have nothign else to write at the moment. hi meaghan! lol...

love, hugs, cheers
