WELL OH MY GOD

oh my! the hearty combination of salt &sun from the beach sucks all the fluids out of me! i;ve felt like an exfoliated shriveled up vegetable for three days
i also woke up this morning with a sore throat. i am getting chills and that achy-sicky feeling! yar.
oh well

the power was out here for about 4 hours. i expected it to be out for at least a week, so we just partied it up over here when it came on. my sister and i sat on her bed and played monopoly and ate chips. that's what it dulled down to. however, i thought my dancing whilst playing a song on the keyboard brought a little life

oh and uhm the DON'T DIS MY ABILITY shirt that i foudn actually fits me perfectly yessss THAT makes the fact that i'm a bigger chub than i think soo satisfying, HONESTLY!
thank you.

michelle came down and we went to the beach the other day. it was quite lovely, thank you for asking. parking permits there are $10 so next time i go i am going to park in the town near by and just walk there. like... $10? fucking retarded.

i guess there never was a conflict with my sister? i must have caught her at a bad time that one night. she told me that rita liked geoff. "and he's cute, too!" is what she said. haha. i can't wait to tell him, but i am avoiding talking to him because i owe him one million dollars

ashley just recently contacted me again. it was nice. i miss her! i'll always remember when she made me that vegan cake for my birthday. it was so nice of her, i was totally flattered that someone would do that for me

i went to the bank today. my parents got me a new computer for school, which is so nice of them.
it has a dvd and a cd burner.
call me a geek but i'm pretty stoked for those features

i am a little nervous about university. so i was thinking about it, and this is a MAJOR BIG HUGE GINORMOUS change. it's gonna take me a bit to adapt and get into the swing of things.
eek
and hopefully my roommates are ok! i'm not too worried about crazy party drinkers and not getting any sleep, cuz the res i am in has a cut off average of 90% so i am a WHOLE lot more concerned about superquiet computergeeks that listen to garth brooks and shit

ps i'm excited to meet paul!! i'm truly really... just... EXCITED!

toronto last weekend was really nice. on friday i got my tcard and rita made me feel super confident about spanish. although i'm not sure if i'm gonna take it anymore. this sounds bad... but man. my schedule looks so nice without those 9am spanish classes. that night i got these amazing hot fornarina boots and boy oh boy. were they expensive. so i just got them just to wear them around on friday night and then i returned them on saturday. ...haha. shut up.
then we all saw city of god. did nothing for me intellectually, it was just pretty disturbing and real. a few scenes hit me pretty hard

on saturday i snuck up behind geoff and scared him and that's how we met
shopped a little bit, went to a cute park, out for thai, etc
he met rita and julie, and michelle most importantly
then we went out for a walk down bloor st w (my favourite street at night) and got ice cream from some gorgeous spanish girl. went back and we were tired. were gonna go to the ocap party but travelling and then walking around all day, i didn't think geoff was really up to it.
on sunday we slept in very late and just hung out walking around. went to amatos, and we went into all those posh furniture stores. the ones where you feel too dirty to touch anything. it was worth stealing their conditioned air though
then it started pouring and so i had to like force geoff to take my umbrella cuz he was walking a long way for the bus
i almost missed my train again
i ran into meghan on it (oh small city blvl.) and it was nice to catch up. unfortunately her dad isn't doing so hot. he had this operation and it went wrong. they ended up having to remove the frontal lobe of his brain. he'll never be the same again, and he has to go to this longterm recovery place quite far away. i am more concerned for her mom than anything. i want to do something nice for their family, like just flowers or something but it's a really awkward situation. sometimes people don't like that sort of attention at times like those.

charles is moving back here. i wonder if i will run into him before i leave. i guess i'll have to hang out with marcelle sometime soon. i'm not too sad at all that we are moving away from one another. laura and i hung out the other day, it was fun. it sucks because she didn't get accepted to george brown after all. now she's stuck in blvl for a year to work. but she's coming to toronto next year, so that'll be really good. jessie is coming to toronto for fashion design, i never really got to know her too well in high school but she seems really nice and fun, she wrote some nice stuff about me at graduation and i was surprised cuz i didn't think she knew i existed anywayyy it's time to go. i need to get rest and perform stupid remedies
goodbye
