ZZZZ
Life has been very busy. I have given up on watching t.v., there is no time! I've discovered that I can read about 30 pages an hour (novel) and that kinda sucks b/c I want to read *FASTER*. Too much reading and not enough physical time. If I stayed up for 24 hours doing nothing but reading non-stop, it would be a large dent, but not a completion. *Sigh*
I went to a job fair and these summer camp jobs look preeettty good. They do start at 8:30 am or earlier, and some of them are an hour+ from where I am living. This one particular camp really sparked my interest b/c they have special programs for areas such as music, math, science, etc. I REALLY want into the music, and getting paid to do something I love? Awesome all around.
I will continue counting my pennies b/c someday an R13 will be mine. My clarinet grade 9 has been going pretty well so far, and I'm hoping to take the exam within the year (either within the spring or summer exam period.) Also trying to look into doing or start doing my Grade 3 Harmony. Still have to find a teacher for that. Hopefully the RCM will finish construction and move back to Bloor st. so I can take classes while at school.
Anyways, I'm tired and I just wanted to update my blog. Sleep is good, all hail sleep....zzzzz.....

Whatever that means :sAnyways, I'll make a long story short. I accidently ate a nut filled cookie from Tim Whortons. I asked for chocolate chip, and being as hungry as I was, I just ate it in 3 bites. Then the itching started. Got home = *vomit*, and then there were hives. This was the most intense allergic reaction I've ever had. The hives were so bad, my face and neck were beet red and I could feel the pressure pounding in my head. I think I threw-up about 4 times that night just trying to get it out of my system. And I kept taking lots of Bendryl (*heart*). Then the next day I threw up on the subway. I think that was mostly just nerves and from being so tired, though. I've never had a reaction this bad before, and I sure hope it never EVER happens again.I think there should be warnings or something at all food places. Not every resturant has them, and they should, especially when concerned with (as Jenn says) 'cross-contamination.' Dairy Queen has warnings all over the place, as does some other resturants. Why can't they all just do it? Ban nuts all together! Nut free Canada! Utopia...:)
Introducing Fontanelle
I finally decided on calling my other blog/writing space "Fontalle." For the link, see my link list on the right of this blog.
I haven't posted anything yet simply b/c I haven't written anything yet, and hopefully I will have the time to do so. Or rather, hopefully I will MAKE the time to do so.
New Year's Eve was spent alone in my basement, and although I didn't want to go out in the rain, I still felt pretty alone. I had a headache for 3 days straight! On top of that, my neighbour, someone whom I've known all my life, is unfortunately surcoming to cancer. She had been battling it for over 2 years I think, and I just found out that she got her last rights on Dec. 31. I haven't heard anything since the 1st of Jan. but I can simply assume what happened. I am pretty bummed about it all.
It was a great way to greet 2007.
Goodbye 2006, Hello 2007!
It is yet again another end to yet another year. 2006 was pretty good I'd say, somewhat productive, yet I'm still not in a band, which is still fustrating.
I am starting to think about what I should be doing with my life. I'm looking at different career avenues, such as writing. I realized I can't be a writer or journalist or something like that because I'm not writing anything other than essays and the occasional blog post.
So I would like to try to create a second blog in which I can post whatever writings I plan to do, short stories and such. I need blog title suggestions. (That is if anyone actually reads this post.)
Title Ideas:1.
Sugar in my Tea, Pepper in my Coffee- this is actually from a song by one of my favorite bands (the pepper and coffee part.)
2. Of Laughter and Soft Lies
- this is from The End by The Doors (one of my fav songs)
3. Desperate Land
- again, this is from The End by The Doors
4. Silence and Sound
- i. this is online, so its not something to be heard yet ii. there is a voice to it all (does that make sense??)
5. Fontanelle
- one of two "soft spots" on a newborn's skull which allows the brain to grow as the baby gets older. I just saw it as growth and expanding knowledge.
6. Verisimilitude
- (from Latin verisimilitudo, from verus true + similitudo similitude)
- is the state or quality of something which exhibits the appearance of reality or truth. (thanks wikipedia!)
Ok so vote now, and we'll see what happens.

Soundtrack of my Life apparently...
I stole this from Scott's facebook notes and did my own...hurray for copycating. I have over 1400 songs on my windows player, so this should be interesting!
So, here's how it works:
1. Open your music library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle/Random
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Write a tiny blurbYOU CAN’T CHEAT OR SKIP SONGS!
Opening Credits:
- Who's going to ride your wild horses? by U2 *I think thats a pretty good choice. Best choice to be sure.
Waking Up:
- Gimme Some Lovin' by the Blues Brothers *That kinda makes me want to get up in the morning!
First Day At School:- Miles from the Sun by Bush *Makes sense to me!
Falling In Love:- Warning Sign by Coldplay *Definitely true
Breaking Up:- Dido and Aeneas, Recitative "Thy Hand, Belinda!" by Henry Purcell *For those of you who don't know, this is an opera song about a woman who dies b/c her heart was broken. Although this might not apply totally to me, it still seems funny that this came up...
Prom:- Beast Of Honor by Melissa Auf Der Maur *Almost ironic
Life's OK:- Theme song to Patch Adams *That is so correct it's almost scary
Breakdown:- Overture to Jesus Christ Superstar *Wow...if you've ever heard this then it pretty much describes things sometimes
Driving:- Road Trippin by Red Hot Chili Peppers *Anyone who knows me, knows I don't drive, but if I did, this would be a top choice.
Flashback:- Paint it Black by The Tea Party *I just like this cover. I don't know how it would be a flashback, but I guess it would be b/c I've been diggin this song for a long time.
Getting Back Together:- Laughing by The Guess Who *Aw that's sweet, but getting back together never happens.
Wedding:- Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin *Oh Totally right, but not my wedding song :P That would be a different song, therefore Windows Media player fails.
Sex Scene:- All my Love by Led Zeppelin *That's lyrically correct I suppose
Birth of Child:- Simple Kind of Life by No Doubt *This scared me b/c this song has a different meaning to me that this.
Final Battle:- The Steward of Gondor by Howard Shore; sung by Billy Boyd (LOTR:Return of the King) *this made me laugh.
Death Scene:- Dying by Hole *this made me laugh even harder. Go figure?!
Funeral Song:- Silentium by Avro Part *wow that's beautiful
Dance Sequence:- We are Not Alone by Karla DeVito *hahahaha
End Credits:- Canada's Loser Prime Ministers by Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie *I'll be PM until Hell Gets Cold!!!!
Well that was kind of interesting...I did get a few suprising results, but it was still a good way to kill some time.
To Redo or Not to Redo
So I messed around w/ the template of my blog. Does it look better or worse? I seem to have forgotten html coding so it didn't turn out as I wanted it. Ah, the things I do when I'm bored. I've been too busy during the last semester to really post anything, and I think that my life has been a bit too boring for my posts to be interesting anyways. I should probably try to make an effort but I don't know who even reads this anyways.
But semester 1 is over with now and for once I got to sleep in. It was wooonderful.Strangely enough, I got used to waking up every morning trying to plan out my 'to-do' list in my head and I woke up this morning with nothing to-do. I ended up doing nothing at all! Watched t.v. and messed around w/ my blog formatting. I probably should try to organize my school notes for my upcoming exams, but I'm now procrastinating. Veggitating just feels too good at the moment.
I found out that I'm working Christmas Eve, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day. I appreciate the extra hours, but I just *shudder* at the thought of what Christmas Eve will be like in the post office. Hoping people WILL realize that I'm not Mrs. Clause and I can't get their mail through overnight...unless I feel like performing a christmas miracle. Or a
Festivus Miracle (that seems easier!)
I wonder where I'd have to look to find myself a Pole....:P
