Waiting For Something To Happen

Interesting if you enjoy seeing someone’s brains splattered across the screen-not literally you sicko…Basically this bad-boy has become a source of cheap therapy.

Bonjour

OK…..post time again I suppose. I’ll keep it short so I can get some light research time in for a paper I have due this week. Since coming back from Moncton Thursday night it’s been pretty quiet…..well, up until Saturday anyway, when Mindy and Kaite got into town. I ended up going to bed somewhat early and sober so I could be awake for when Mel showed up Sunday morning, but there was a full scale party going on here. Once in bed I could hear the door buzzer going pretty consistently. I missed the fun, but I guess the highlight and the capper to the night was when Ian brought Katie to Peggy’s Cove at 5AM so she could see her first sunrise…..that’s right, her first……amazing isn’t it? Ian did good judging by the pics……awesome place to go for it too.

Sunday was Mel and I hanging out while everyone else was too hurting to do much. There was a Your Father’s Moustache trip with some others for supper, but mostly we hung out eating too many jellybeans. Also, I got another person to watch Lost In Translation last night…..yay me. I love that movie, although we kinda talked a lot during it, but I kept her up to date with the plot hopefully.

So, here I am, tired and thinking of getting some tea and getting some work done. Motley Crue Thursday night, exam Friday and last KNA show Friday night at Gus’ Pub….it will be taped for posterity too….so it’ll be a busy week for me at time, but I’ll live. I do have that weird hard work fetish thing too hahaha. Protestant or not, this boy longs to till a field haha. With that, I bid you all adieu. Oh yeah…I now have a French instructor…AKA Mel, she agreed to basically force me to learn it……immersion is the best way I think, so as long as we keep it I hope to get caught up on that one last part of my training I need to get some better job opportunities.

a bientot.

But you haven’t really dated a wide variety of people.

Dominance:

The Five Variable Love Test

This Was A Fun One

Not sure who found this one first, but I’m giving Julia the credit for it since I saw it on her blog first.

the Achiver
Test finished!
you chose AZ – your Enneagram type is THREE.

“I need to succeed”

Achivers are energetic, optimistic, self-assured, and goal oriented.

How to Get Along with Me

  • Leave me alone when I am doing my work.
  • Give me honest, but not unduly critical or judgmental, feedback.
  • Help me keep my environment harmonious and peaceful.
  • Don’t burden me with negative emotions.
  • Tell me you like being around me.
  • Tell me when you’re proud of me or my accomplishments.

What I Like About Being a Three

  • being optimistic, friendly, and upbeat
  • providing well for my family
  • being able to recover quickly from setbacks and to charge ahead to the next challenge
  • staying informed, knowing what’s going on
  • being competent and able to get things to work efficiently
  • being able to motivate people

What’s Hard About Being a Three

  • having to put up with inefficiency and incompetence
  • the fear on not being — or of not being seen as — successful
  • comparing myself to people who do things better
  • struggling to hang on to my success
  • putting on facades in order to impress people
  • always being “on.” It’s exhausting.

Threes as Children Often

  • work hard to receive appreciation for their accomplishments

    Greetings Form The Hub City

    Tuesday afternoon….and I’m still in Moncton…well Scoudouc technically….but then people ask me “where’s Scoudouc?”….it’s easier this way.

    The bus ride here fun…not really…Vince and I get down to the bus station at 7AM…..to find a line-up out the door. Duh…it’s spring break…..we managed to get onto the first bus to Moncton however….only because no one wanted these two seats towards the back…they were cramped.

    I got in 10 minutes early however, with Mel already waiting for me…perfect….if only it wasn’t as cold as the surface of the dark side of the moon however. Winter finally showed up.

    Got to go to Cap-Pele that night to go to Michel’s house…but the fun was the next night. Craig and Mel came over, and Mel and I both got hammered off beer and Jack Daniel’s. The night ended with me taking care of Mel who was really sick…and then as soon as she left in the morning, I picked up the slack and got really sick myself. I managed to keep it within reason, and by suppertime I was ready to go out to a Chinese food buffet…and I was hungry, so I filled up and never ate for the rest of the night haha. Probably had something to do with evacuating everything I had eaten the night before.

    So that’s the trip so far….basically getting drunk with friends and being up to my elbows in more puke than I had seen in the past few months combined. Haha…it wasn’t that bad…funny how when I was taking care of Mel, my drunkeness seemed minor, but once I got her to bed, I realized I was still tore up. That’s why I got sick I think, having bed spins always does that to me. So if anyone wonders why I drink then stay up until I’m sober and hungover, that’s why. Easier to fall asleep hungover and wake up ok, then to go to bed drunk and wake up feeling like a bag of smashed assholes.

    So….now that then dust has settled on that night…I’m just going to sit back and enjoy my vacation. No school responsibilities feels good to be honest. After that last week too, the presentation, which I got my mark back on…not as bad as I thought it would be, but still not too stellar….and that Labour Economics exam….which I finished so fast I think I either aced it, or blew it completely.

    Oh last night Nick and Sophie took me for a drive around the new, rich neighbourhoods of Moncton….some of those houses were intense…crazy huge with really interesting architecture. Wish I had a camera with me, some were really neat looking. Maybe if I remember it I can arrange to get some pics before I leave.

    OK, this is long enough I suppose. a bientot.

    Doors Closing….Windows Opening…..

    Currently Listening To-Joseph Arthur-”Wild Horses”….

    Well, as I post this, I am preparing to get the bus for Moncton, NB for 7:30AM tomorrow with Vince. He’s going to Fredericton, but I’ll be all good in Moncton I imagine, so I’ll stay there I guess haha. Things didn’t go as planned for this weekend/week off, but that’s what life is all about. Basically, I was swept into something rather spontaneously, and had it leave just as quick. Thanks for the memories and all that jazz.

    So, here I am…..wishing I was tired enough to go to bed nice and early, but since this was a last minute decision, I’m not really too prepared to go to sleep. Oh well….early buses almost always mean half-capacity runs….so if I get two seats to myself, it’s lights out for me I hope. I have trouble sleeping in moving vehicles, but if I’m tired enough it will happen.

    So, even though my plans are shot to hell, I have awesome friends who are willing to entertain me on my week off. I’ll even have a visitor at the tail-end of my vacation….it’ll be a mini-vacation for them as well…..it’ll be fun.

    And with that….I bid you all farewell, I need to pack and pretend to sleep to fool myself into thinking I actually got some rest tonight hahaha.

    Bonne nuit.

    Has It Really Been 4 Days?

    Apparently I haven’t updated since Feb. 11. Not surprising really. Got nothing to say. School is school. Personal life is personal. Thanks for stopping by.

    I’m not pissy, just having writer’s block I think, which is funny to think about, because my previous post was pretty out there and creative. Hmmmm….what-ever (said with teenage girl inflection).

    Lata.

    Things Are Happening

    I think I’ll be forever waiting, so this title will never change. Waiting for the new job, waiting for love, waiting for a family, waiting to go to the beach, waiting to buy a house, waiting to drink champagne in a hot tub, waiting to have grandchildren, waiting to die…..waiting to see what else is out there past what I see in front of me.

    But yeah, things, are happening, always happening-to everyone. We’re all getting older every second, getting wiser every second, getting closer to “something” every second. Part of quantum cosmology theory involves something called Planck time-basically I forget the actual time it would represent, but the theory goes that energy-i.e. everything around us-including us-mass=energy and all, moves in specific packets at specific times. So if one was so inclined, one could see in their mind these energy packets that make up the universe as we know it moving in these discreet packets of energy in a unified manner in time.

    I can almost see things happening-picture the energy as mass, and picture the mass as a portion of yourself-move out until you can see yourself-as energy, moving through a sea of energy.

    So while I will always be waiting….waiting for all the above, waiting to become nothing but energy-that “21 grams” if you will that maybe gets to move freely throughout the universe.

    But for now, stuff is happening. It makes me smile too.

    Don’t sweat the petty things kids…..and don’t pet the sweaty things either…..although sweaty things need love too.

    Bonne nuit.

    So True

    Today’s horoscope on my homepage,

    “Scientists are sometimes pretty strange people. They might be so engrossed in reality that they seem almost absent from it. It’s as if they floated around above the Earth, and that’s a bit how you feel about things too, dear Aquarius. You would like to tell yourself about the world in your own special way, the way you see it, and not necessarily the way it really is. That’s your secret: you know that no one else could tell you about the world the way you do.”

    That is very much like me-with my own world-view….or universe-view to be more accurate. I don’t think I could explain it even if I was asked to. All I know is, for me, no one religious or atheist knows what I know. What an ego on me eh? It’s true though. I think everyone needs there own personal religion/outlook on existence though-so, that’s everyone’s homework assignment….get your own view of existense…..it might be wrong to me, but I bet it’ll be right to you.

    Lata.

    Heads Up

    So, I seem to be updating less and less now don’t I? Probably just a phase I imagine. I have so much else going on lately, that updating is the last thing I think of. Even when I do update, I’m still not into it. So that’s that I suppose.

    Obviously feel free to check often, never know when the urge will hit to update. I will most likely have a slow weekend, so who knows, I may be back soon. Of course, after last weekend, anything will seem slow. Trust me, I still feel like I’m recuperating here.

    A bientot.

    He’s Back!!!

    Hello hello, here I am again after a few days off….and what a few days they were. No sleep, alcohol,…..other stuff haha…..since Thursday night. Best birthday ever I suppose, happy that I managed to drag it out for…..5 days! not too shabby buddy. I will admit it’s the most alive I’ve felt in a while that’s for sure.

    Moncton is awesome, as I have always said. I enjoy the people there, they rock. I got a rather smartass present for my birthday from Mel…..(if anyone wants to see my pony, come on over, hahaha)….glad there’s someone else out there who buys presents the same way I do sometimes….Nick and Sophie also hooked me up with a real cool Jerry Only bobble head.

    Now, this is to Lynn, who may or may not read this, I’m not too sure. You rock, seriously. You’re pretty quiet, as am I, but I was happy with how things went….and no, I’m not being dirty here people, just telling the girl I think she’s awesome.

    Very eventful few days all in all. I have slept maybe, 5 hours tops any given night since Wednesday, so as much as I hate it to end, I could use the sleep tonight. Let’s just say I am planning on my next Moncton trip however.

    Well, time to get some work done, then maybe turn in nice and early. Bye bye.
