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.
