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.....

So apparently I'm straightedge/athletic/scene. Whatever that means :s

Anyways, 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.
