Michele - I heard you got to spend the night with Jade and Heather! I'm jealous. I've been meaning to hang out with those girls again.
Kyla, Lise and Sarah are coming out to visit me on the 19-21 but for some reason I doubt you'll be able to get the time off. If you can - that would be an out of this world weekend adventure pour moi!
Ok so that takes care of business this quarter.
I would just like to start off by saying that the only way to travel is with your rich parents and their rich friends
My parents have more friends out here right now than in chilliwack EVER.
All the McDonalds big shots from Canada come out here. Actually we have met more people from the lower mainland than anywhere else.
Last night we went up to Brian's hotel room at the Four Seasons - we drank Cristal in the private lounge on his floor. I was dipping strawberry's into Cristal - watching the clouds roll across the sky and the palms surrounding the ocean. The grounds at the Four Seasons looks like an imperial palace in Europe. We ate at a place called Joe's - I had seafood boullabaise which was so fucking awesome. Brian got soo wasted by the end of the meal he was belting out It's a small world and then taking requests. It was pretty amusing.
we ate a Spago's the night before - which is wolfgang puck's restaurant. they seated us at a horrible table to begin with but you can't do that with restaurant owners. So they complained and we ended up going through 2 tables until we settled. How embarassing.
Anyway we had a lovely meal. I had the thai coconut soup which had thai chili oil, shitake mushrooms, and the same noodles that are in sunomono salad. My entree was a Lehi Snapper that was lightly crusted and came on a bed of spinach, topped with sweet corn and edamame, with a lobster cognac reduction.
It was really good but in all honesty - I had a better time at Bubba Gumps and I got to eat my face off with a whole bunch of different kinds of shrimp. The waiter also flirted with me and he looked like noni but had his masters in creative writing.
I would have loved to go home with him!
After Bubba Gumps we walked around this neat store went to this amazing art gallery for christain lassen - the most famous marine artist in the world. The director of the gallery was this hot surfer looking guy - he gaves us this show in a private room. They dim the lights to show how the paintings change in different lighting. I've never seen anything like this guys work. As the lights go down, it looks like the sun is setting on his pictures. Its so hard to describe but utterly amazing to see. Even my Dad was enthralled. Him and Brian both want to buy something of his now. But of course - Brian wants to buy an original which costs upwards of 250,000.This is the guy that spent over a 1000 dollars last night on booze.
Every morning my mother and myself have gone on at least a 2 hour walk. I sweat like a beast out here because of the humidity. I come back and my clothes are soaked. I have to take a face cloth with me to keep my face dry.
It's been pretty cloudy, although still really warm and lots of sunny breaks. Today it was really cloudy so we ended up going to a movie - the pursuit of happiness - which was really good but mostly SAD. We did a little shopping at Ross - which is the american version of winners. I got a super cute shirt with tiny pokadots.
Wednesday I will be getting my hair done - hopefully it will turn out ok. I feel sketchy about getting it done out here so we'll see.
I can't wait to go to the aquarium tomorrow! The marine center out here is supposed to be one of the best in the states! Michele - I wish you were here for that!!!
will update with pictures hopefully soon!

Happy september 11th!
=D
Lynda (my roomate who was back in yellowknife for the summer) is back, and school is in full effect, 2006 2007 semester represent.
too bad its the first time in 18 years that I am not going back to school
how fucking insane is that.
fairly insane.
like at least a 7.
I also think that I have decided to put off applying to graduate schools for 1 year. Instead of rushing to get through these 2 exams and trying to put together 3 application packages in the next 3 months.
I will apply january of 2008. This gives me time to get some more experience, both volunteer and research.
And to get my shit together.
i'm pretty sure the dog just came in here and farted and then left.
thanks hunker...
thanks so much.
this weekend we went to a party which was hosted by a lynda's friend mike. He just moved down here from yellowknife as well. It was pretty lame - and there was a guy who played the guitar in the living room and sang so fucking hard that his face was soo red and he was sweating his face off.
kenny called him the juicy fruit dude.
he sang really horrible songs a la nickelback esque. the only saving grace was weezer at one point.
we decided it was our duty as a group at this lame party, to start chanting random phrases over top of juicy fruit dude.
we started out saying something i don't remember, which morphed into GRAPES! then RAPE!
we continued on with RAPE for a solid chunk of time.
here are some of the other things we chanted that evening:
-Violating women's rights is cool!
-RAPE IS (great) x 3, RAPE IS (AWESOME!!!)
-LUBE IT UP!
-IN THE BUTT!
-ASS TO ASS!
-ASS TO MOUTH!
but mostly just RAPE over and over.
I don't think you can get away with chanting rape so much at one house without offending someone.
i'm pretty sure a lot of people hated us that night.
We then left said party to walk home, because we were about a 10 min walk away from our place. It ended up in debauchery abounds.
First off, It began raining so fucking hard it was insane. It hasn't rained that hard here in I don't even fucking know how long. It was crazy.
Then Sean began flash puking as I tried to lead a group of 6 drunk people through this school as a short cut. Lynda insisted I had no idea where I was, and that we wait out the fucking storm.
I decided to leave the drunk people and walk home to get my car and then come back for them.
While I was gone, lynda decided to knock on a few doors or something, ended up talking to some people and freaking them out (this was at nearly 2 am).
Then about 5 minutes from home I have to piss like a fucking race horse.
I decided that because I was all alone at 2 am, walking through sheets of rain - basically walking through a swimming pool outside with my entire wardrobe soaked, It would be ok for me to just pee as I walked.
So I did.
What can I say.
It was warm relief I tell yah.
all and all it was a successful first week of the new school semester over here in vic city.
rippin it up classy style,
chanting rape and peeing on myself.
the journal is brought to you by marijuana and peach growers coolers.

I'm in love with a lot of fucking bar music lately
and it's really not a good scene for anyone involved
well - i should clearify
some of it i actually enjoy and appreciate and some of it is crap that i find humorous. Some both.
my playlist includes the following songs
SexyBack - J timberlake
London Bridge - Fergie
The Police and the Private - Metric
Why We Thugs - Ice Cube
Go To Church - Ice Cube ft. Snoop Dogg & Lil Jon
Maneater - Nelly Furtado
Glow - Nelly Furtado
Rock Show - Peaches
Temperature - Sean Paul
The last song now makes me laugh out loud whence i listen. thanks to michele and the bar and me ruining her attempt at dancing with her friends and then the native guy on stage who was dancing to said song.
who apparantly is a regular at "Dappers Night Club" in Chilliwack, BC, Canada.
if anyone wants to check him out.
I was in the office today at UVic for 7.5 hours with no break. I forgot to plug my parking meter and got a ticket. I think it's pretty funny that because of my complete and utter ignorance I payed 22.00 dollars for parking today.
way to go
good thing i got hired as a research assistant when i can't even remember to plug my own fucking parking meter.
i don't understand how people can be totally smart in some areas, and completely ignorant in others. Or how someone can get their PhD and not know how to use their printer.
However, I do understand how important it is to communicate efficiently in ANY and EVERY work environment.
I have already spent a number of hours doing things in the office only to find out it was unnecessary or that I had typed up the wrong document, etc.
Dr.Dyson is Japanese though, so there is a language barrier as well.
It's so frustrating trying to figure out how two other people have organized documents, which folders they are located in on the computer, what documents to update etc. And then there is figuring out the coding, and how all of the variables are defined, reverse coding
it goes on.
and on.
900 participants or more and 3 years of data.
in other news
how fucking awesome has big brother been lately?
holy shit fuck
sean got a chill town shirt and it's fucking rad.
and house started
and the new season of laguna
it's funny how my life now consists of working and then tv.
i have a crush on a boy.
his voice makes me giddy like a stupid girl.
i wish he didn't live across the ocean and that he didn't love wizards and dragons more than me.

oh sorry. that's just my hunger talking.
right now I am in the UVic library, nearly finished my first shift of..
my new research assistant position
yayyyy! I got the job!!
I've never had a job before where I could go online and do fun online things whilst working so I figure
hey, why not update my livejournal?
makes sense
non?
I had so much fun in chilliwack. I love reminding myself that I don't need bad stimulants to have a good time, only 40's of colt 45 and michele.
Dappers was actually fun, thanks to Michele, Chris, and his group of guys friends.
I got partially molested by a guy with a full beard who Chris referred to as "dad"
even though it was his friend Adrian.
I found that humorous.
I wish I was at home and I could post pictures of said molestor.
The baby is also beyond adorable, which I really wasn't expecting. Like yea whatever, babies are cute. But seriously, elaine and dave are really good at making ridiculously cute babies.
I have to appologize to Gill for making her rent Final Destination 3 for like 3 days in a row, and then never being around to watch it. if you guys can come to victoria, i'll make up for it.
=D
I have to leave soon to go eat lunch, and then go to an interview at London Drugs for that pharmacy tech position. Although I'm sure that I won't be taking the job, I figure the experience is good at least.
yah00 for meee
in other news, I got a call from lynda last night
she got fucking backstage passes to a system show in montreal, which she flew to with her sister janine who was the one who scored the tickets at the last show she was at recently because she's hot
anyway they got to meet serj and john and got pictures, and got to stand beside the stage during the show.
avenged sevenfold was also there, and I guess they rocked out with them.
lynda was one happy girl last night.
again, i'll post pictures sooon

oh, harro.
where the hell have i been anyway?
i feel like the last 2 months have gone by faster than any other months in my whole life.
i'm supposed to be getting my "life" in order, now that i am officially an alumnus of UVic.
no seriously. i got a bumper sticker in the mail and everything.
i thought going to convocation would be pointless and a waste of time.
but i'm glad that i went. it was a nice way to put some kind of formal finality to everything.
its weird how graduating from highschool is made sooo much more of a big deal than graduating from university.
i thought i was going to cry so many times..
i miss school already. isn't that lame?
yah00 for graduating with distinction.
i wish i could take astronomy every summer for the rest of my life.
last summer was great because of it.
speaking of which. my astronomy lab teacher that i became friends with last year, Aaron - he is now finished his PhD and got 96% overall. in astrophysics. INSANE.
I got to hang out with him last week at a really cool party.
he played guitar with a few other guys, and got everyone to sing a song that they wrote for their friends 30th birthday.
i think it was one of the cutest man-things that i've ever seen.
all these like.. nearly 30 year olds being crazy sentimental and thoughtful.
i've decided that we need to get together this weekend to discuss the ATLAS experiment that will be conducted by CERN in 2007.
all i have to say is when protons collide cool shit will happen.
does anyone want to join us?
ok here are some personal goals for the week
- apply for at least 1 job
- watch big brother 7 on thursday
- try not to kill clare after working 3 days in a row
- find a gym and become a member
- remember that i have an appointment for my unhealthy Car tomorrow at 11am
- make Hunker less stinky
- buy a sidoku puzzle book
- find someone to buy drugs off of

I can't believe I'm nearly DONE
just one more paper to write (on the evolution of the mind. interesting, no?)
and 3 more exams at the end of the month
better yet
I talked to Paul - my neuropsyc professor - today after class. I told him my paper topic and he was intrigued. He shared a video with us today on the topic of global consciousness. Its funny because it totally related to astronomy and I told him my favorite astronomy quote and he was like "wow.. thats really amazing"
it totally fit just so perfectly with all the ideas we had just talked about.
the video was about what it is to be self-aware.. and how in trying to understand ourselves and what it all means, we eventually loose this idea of selfish experience and know that we all share an underlying fundamental state of consciousness.
which is so hard for us to explain and grasp that we try to create it through the "self" by identifying who we are with physical identities and conceptualizing us as separate entities from our environment and others, when everything on this earth is working together for one thing - and that is to sustain the earth. In turn realizing how important it is for us to evolve not through biology now but through our ideas on how to exist. This is what they consider to be a global state of awareness or consciousness. Everyone coming together and realizing that to sustain ourselves,(hypocritically, albeit)and to survive (reproductive success and fitness) we have to let go of the physical as the seat of evolution and look to the mind
so yea. it was a really really interesting class.
afterward i walked with paul to his next class, he's sits in on a class that a friend andrea is in, and i was supposed to lend her some notes from another class.
it turned out to be a perfect excuse to ask him his advice on how to further myself in neuropsyc
he told me some people to get in contact with, and who to avoid - which was so awesome. and he told me that i'm really intelligent and obviously passionate and to just go ahead with networking. I knew it was the next step, but i wasn't really sure who to network with.
it was awesome that he complimented me, so i asked if he would be interested in writing me a reference letter and he said no problem just to email him my transcripts
i'm scared to do that though. my transcripts are totally a reflection of how i let my emotions get the better of me and how i let myself down. like really good semesters sandwiched inbetween two really horrible semesters both caused by emotional distress
I feel as though I owe him an explanation
which is like making excuses. I mean my grades are my grades, but they are not necessarily a reflection of my abilities in all cases.
anyway. i'm totally at a crossroad in my life right now
things seem to be headed in the right direction
so i feel slightly peaceful for the moment
i'm not sure how long it will last
but hey
i'm gonna enjoy it while i can.
michele: sorry i never got to see you at work. i slept in hardcore and then grace came over, i packed and drove to van. i'm gonna call you soon because i want to hear whats going on with things and stuff which i tend to not be as explicit about as some people
*cough* GILL *cough* uhmm and yea. it sucks that it was the shortest visit ever. but hey - i'll be home for easter. yah00
did you guys like brokeback or what?
noni is coming on saturday and i'm pretty excited. i have mixed feelings, but mostly excited. we talked on the phone the other night and it made me remember why we're actually friends.
i will post some pictures from my fake birthday party some time
it was an alright time thanks to select few people
two of them not being lynda and becky
but that isn't surprising
ps. matt good acoustic show
yessss
<3

• Really enjoyed reading your paper, very creative and well written!
• Great intro but it lacks a clear thesis statement in the beginning, which makes it more challenging to follow your line of thought.
• You need to consider more of the broader implications of modularity and how that may impact how we do research.

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is an annual event held at the Empire Polo Fields in Indio, California featuring musical performances by a number of artists on different stages, showings of independent films, and a number of displays of contemporary art. Coachella is a two day event, whose attendance has steadily increased from about 10 to 20 thousand people at the first Coachella in 1999 to a sold-out 100 thousand in 2004. The event skipped an appearance in 2000.
The Coachella Music Festival is noted for its desert setting, (the Mojave Desert is approximately 50 miles north of Indio). Consequently, daytime temperatures frequently rise to over 100°F (38°C) with little cloud cover or shade, then drops drastically after sunset.
The typical genres of music represented at the festival are alternative rock, rap/hip hop, and electronica.

i feel like i am merely existing lately.
like when you drive all the way home and wonder if any of the lights you went through were actually green or if you actually stopped at any stop signs.
or when you completely zone out and realize that you weren't really zoning out about anything in particular you were just sitting there. existing.
school is sucking the life from my soul-fire atoms.
no one will get that unless any of you are familiar with the oppinions of Democritus
which why on earth would you be, unless you are also taking a history of biology and or philosophy of the mind class.
we finished the second of THREE of our first set of presentations. 3 hours down. 1.5 more hours this month and then only another
3 MOTHERFUCKING HOURS TO FUCKING PLAN OUT. FUCK
I have to write a paper on either aphasia, alexia or agnosia. actually what am i complaining about
those topics are fascinating.
actually they really are.
seriously.
FASCIFUCKINGNATING
on a funny side note if you google image search soul fire atoms a picture of the single for SHAKE IT OFF comes up. hahahhahahhaha fuck you mariah carey.
another funny side note
i google image search my teacher for my psyc class, and then we put his picture in our presentation as many times as we could
I'm also finally on the Gunther PPL page on GUNTHERNET
I have a paper to write and an exam next week.. but after that it's fucking READING BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!
finally. michele -
i'm comin home baby.
i'm comin home.
OOH OOOH OOHH and i finally get to see metric on march 29th and maybe controller controller on march 4th
i've only been waiting a couple years to see metric. WHATEVER.
excited i am.
but before that
reading break.
yessssssssss
my parents might be going away that weekend too
so i could have a chilliwack party at my house.
how sweet does the prospect of THAT sound.
pretty fucking sweet.
oh yea -15 lbs.
pretty fucking sweet as well.
which means i'm eating A+W tonight while i sloth around the house for the first time in over a week. good thing it's thursday AKA the best tv night of the week.

well i guess it's about fucking time right?
amber, i didn't get to see the peanut-butter jelly time episode of the family guy, but sean mcsweeny msg'd me about it on msn like right after because he was like WTF THAT'S CATHY'S SONG.
it just goes to show you how up me and amber are on what's funny and what's not.
funny experts.
ooh and just a little reminder of that
everyone please go visit the russian crab, and listen to the rap this guy made about him. which just happens to use a beat from one of our favorite rap artists, Eminem.
------>R U 4 SEXES CHAT?<---------
although i don't get why this guy seems to think it's an Alien crab
it's clearly russian.
all i have to say is
i'll make you LOL
LOL LOL LOL LOL
crab alien rules the world
anyway. onward and upward.
so it's my last semester of my undergraduate degree.
i still can't really believe that. my convocation is in june, but i'm done at the end of april.
i'll get to wear the gold sash because I'm getting a BSc and not a BA. sassss
and all my classes this semester are pretty awesome. so far in my upper level psyc class we have played brain anatomy charades and Aphasia Jeopardy. Our group has schooled everyone both times, but i mean i am queen of charades so that was an unfair advantage.
Buuut we have to come up with FIVE 1.5 hour lectures on Agnosia and Blindsight/Neglect.
actually i'm excited because the girls in my group are awesome and our topic is super cool
for example
Prosopagnosia, which is a subtype of agnosia, is a disorder characterized by an inability to recognizes FACES.
like the only way you can associate who important people in your life are - visually - is through other cues like maybe a color they wear all the time. i would show you a picture of your mom and to you it would be a stranger.
crazy hey?
there are a lot of other forms too.
so yea. good stuff.
i also started dieting again. it is sooo much easier this time. especially with lynda and becky both doing the same diet. I lost 6 lbs my first week, becky lost 4 lbs and lynda lost 5 lbs.
Prop's to us
mad props.
I am so broke right now.
I haven't been working this month yet because clare is out of comission with a broken ankle.
i feel really bad for her. she is bored out of her mind sitting on the couch all day with her ankle in this huge cast. she had to get surgery so it's like ultra bad
it's almost been a month though, so hopefully after she gets out of her cast and into that mobile ankle support thing next week
I can actually make some money to pay for my insurance
Brokeback mountain was fucking awesome.
i love gay man love.
it was the most adorable heart wrenching story.
i don't understand how people think it isn't right for two men or two women to be together
you can't help who you love
and you can't help who you're attracted to
just let things be the way they feel they should.
bahh
i shake my fist at my granny and all the other fucking assholes at my church who get into a huge tiffy when they marry gay couples at our church.
get over yourselves
sooo to sum things all up
things are marvy - minus the 3 person living dynamic. its weird how much things have changed this semester. its like becky and lynda are BFFFFFF X 56342696426. sometimes i feel left out. and becky has been driving me mental lately.
normal house stuff i guess.
OOH! i saw aaron the other day. (He was the lab teacher from my astronomy class this summer that i became friends with)
he's as cute as ever - growing his hair out. and he is taking this general astrophysics knowledge examination in February for his PHD program. He invited me to the party he's having afterward and i'm supposed to come stop by his new place and catch up one of these days.
so yea
that was nice. i love the fact that he actually makes the effort to keep in touch. it's weird to make a friend. hahahha
i'm lame
did i tell everyone i have to dissect a cat for my chordate zoology class
i know
sick.
i'll leave you all with the fact that i now own my very own set of scalples and dissecting tools
muwhahahhah

After one or two I get used to the room
We go slow when we first make our moves
By five or six i'll bring you out to the car
By number nine I got my head on the bar (in the bar)
And it's sad but true, out of cash and IOUS
I got desperate desires and unadmirable plans
My tounge will taste of gin and malicious intent
Bring you back to the bar and get you out of the cold
My sober straight face gets you out of your clothes
And they're scared
That we know
All the crimes
They'll commit
Who they'll kiss
Before they get home
I will lie awake
And lie for fun
And fake the way that I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say
Barely conscious in the door where you stand
Your eyes are fighting; Sleep while your mouth makes your demands
You laugh at every word
trying too hard to be cute
I almost feel sorry for what I'm gonna do
And your hair
Smells of smoke
Who will cast
The first stone?
You can sin
Or spend the night all alone
Brass buttons on your coat hold the cold
In the shape of a heart that they cut out of stone
And you're using all your looks that you've thrown from the start
If you let me have my way I swear I'll tear you apart
Cause its all
You can be
You're a drunk
And you're scared
It's ladies night
And all the girls drink for free

i'm glad that a certain dispute was recently resolved. not like.. complete resolution
but some kind of closure that is surrounded in positivity rather than negativity.
tonight your ghost will ask my ghost
where is the love?
tonight your ghost will ask my ghost
who put these body's between us?
noni sent some pictures already. plus 5 points.
minus 5 points for the lack of ones of us together, or one of me that isn't haggard.
i should also mention that noni is a firm believer in the candid camera moments.
Myself and Noni. he loves you.
Perry + Lynda on the Bus
Perry and Siku @ metal monday
Lynda + Myself @ evolution
Me + Lynda rocking out HARD. you should've seen Lynda it was fucking 100% pure k-tel solid gold
Natian + Eskimatian AWWW CUTE.
This guy was easily the best dancer I have ever seen. he owns the dance floor on metal monday's.
Natian Sensation ghetto thugged out.
Noni + Siku. you have no idea how hard it is to get that kid to fucking crack a smile. GOD NONI.
My guitar is actually being played by someone talented. i feel good for it.

I have mixed feelings about life lately a lot
one day things feel like there is nothing to be sad about ever
and the next feels like there is nothing to be happy about ever.
today = the latter.
I'm a midnight
fistfight
looking for a mother that will get me high
just a stupid motherfucker if i die, i die.
ooh system.
i used to feel impartial to the new album
however i now feel it is essential.
really awesome from start to finish.
i know some of you must be puking right about now.
so i got one of my marks back

Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.
Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead decided to punch his way out of his mother's womb. Shortly thereafter he grew a beard.
When Chuck Norris plays Oregon Trail his family does not die from cholera or dysentery, but rather roundhouse kicks to the face. He also requires no wagon, since he carries the oxen, axels, and buffalo meat on his back. He always makes it to Oregon before you.
Chuck Norris recently had the idea to sell his urine as a canned beverage. We know this beverage as Red Bull.
Chuck Norris built a time machine and went back in time to stop the JFK assassination. As Oswald shot, Chuck met all three bullets with his beard, deflecting them. JFK’s head exploded out of sheer amazement.
Chuck Norris’ girlfriend once asked him how much wood a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. He then shouted, “HOW DARE YOU RHYME IN THE PRESENCE OF CHUCK NORRIS!” and ripped out her throat. Holding his girlfriend’s bloody throat in his hand he bellowed, “DON’T FUCK WITH CHUCK!” Two years and five months later he realized the irony of this statement and laughed so hard that anyone within a hundred mile radius of the blast went deaf.
Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. After the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The Devil, who appreciates irony, couldn’t stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.
The original theme song to the Transformers was actually “Chuck Norris – more than meets the eye, Chuck Norris – robot in disguise,” and starred Chuck Norris as a Texas Ranger who defended the earth from drug-dealing Decepticons and could turn into a pickup truck. This was far too much awesome for a single show, however, so it was divided.
Chuck Norris lives by only one rule: No Asian Chicks.
To prove it isn’t that big of a deal to beat cancer, Chuck Norris smoked 15 cartons of cigarettes a day for 2 years and acquired 7 different kinds of cancer only to rid them from his body by flexing for 30 minutes. Beat that, Lance Armstrong.
Chuck Norris once shot a German plane down with his finger by yelling, “Bang!”
A man once asked Chuck Norris if his real name is “Charles”. Chuck Norris did not respond and simply stared at him until he exploded.
Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.
Chuck Norris can make a woman climax by simply pointing at her and saying “booya”.
Before filming Walker Texas Ranger, Chuck Norris is injected with five times the lethal does of elephant tranquilizer. This is, of course, to limit his strength and mobility, in an attempt to lower the fatality rate of the actors he fights.
Chuck Norris once went to a frat party and preceded to roundhouse every popped collar in sight. He then drank three kegs and shit on their floor, just because he’s Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris took my virginity and the will sure as Hell take yours. If you’re thinking to yourself, “That’s impossible, I already lost my virginity” then you’re dead wrong.
Chuck Norris found out about Conan O’Brien’s lever that shows clips from Walker Texas Ranger and is working on a way to make it show clips of Norris having sex with Conan’s wife.
The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.
One of the greatest cover-ups of the last century was the fact that Hitler did not commit suicide in his bunker, but was in fact tea-bagged to death by Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris punched a woman in the vagina when she didn’t give him exact changed.
Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs.
Chuck Norris once tried to sue Burger King after they refused to put razor wire in his Whopper Jr., insisting that is actually “his” way.
After much debate, President Truman decided to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima rather than the alternative of sending Chuck Norris. His reasoning? It was more Humane.
Chuck Norris frequently signs up for beginner karate classes, just so he can “accidentally” beat the crap out of little kids.
Chuck Norris doesn’t have normal white blood cells like you and I. His have small black rings around them. This signifies that they are all black belts in every form of martial arts and they roundhouse kick the crap out of viruses. That’s why Chuck Norris never gets ill.
If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. If you can’t see Chuck Norris you may only be seconds away from death.
Chuck Norris ruins the endings of Harry Potter books for children who just bought one for the hell of it. When they start crying Chuck Norris calmly say “I’ll give you something to cry about,” and roundhouse kicks them in the face.
Helen Keller’s favorite color is Chuck Norris

it's almost 2 am.
i can't sleep..
i've been listening to this song on repeat.
right now it speaks volumes about how i am feeling in this moment.
michele i tried phoning you tonight late. sorry if i disturbed your slumber! i just needed to talk to my better half. <3
You’re not coming back for me
These things they will never mean
I’m so used to be being wrong
So put me where I belong
I’ll get back to you
God knows I try
But I still lose
And I’ll get back to you
These days run by, and I still lose
Angels say they could make you suffer
Give and take like a vicious lover
When all this loses meaning
You’ll never want it back
somehow
Awake but still I’m dreaming
And never waking up
You’re not coming back for me
These things they will never mean
I’m so used to being wrong
So put me where I belong
I’ll get back to you
God knows I try
But I’ll still lose
I’ll get back to you
These days run by
And I’ll still lose

there has been a lot of turmoil in my life recently
and it sucks a lot to have to say that it's pretty much all self inflicted.
i don't know why i can't get my shit together lately
and i'm being really hard on myself because of this.
i have never felt this out of control of things in a long time. and my grades are suffering.
and my quality of life is suffering.
i made a few decisions last week.
i really want to change some major aspects of my life, in attempts to become more of a healthy individual both mentally and physically
first and foremost
i need to stop smoking so much fucking marijuana all the time
second
i need to start incorporating regular exercise into my weekly routine.
third
i need to start eating better.
lynda is going to help me with the exercise sheiz, so i'm excited about that.
we are going to start off by going on evening strolls.
and i'm all for night time adventures.
Sean came out this past weekend. we had a reasonably good time, minus being ditched by lynda. but hey, we got drunk with becky at home and mowed on greasy mcdonalds at 2am.
I also bought some awesome clothes at old navy after my favorite pair of worn out jeans finally ripped whilst getting into the fucking blazer.
$100 dollars later and I had a new pair of pjamma pants that are FUCKING AWESOME, a new pair of jeans, and a bright green hoodie that is also FUCKING AWESOME.
Things I have accomplished recently
- watched batman begins
- discovered an alright place to get pho here in victoria.
- enjoyed the awesome day of sunshine we had yesterday downtown shopping
- met a cool guy who owns a tiny clothing store called Nu. he is having a show soon and gave me and lynda his card. there is a possiblity of sewing lessons
- got black beads for my vert.labret at the patch. lynda bought them for me because i am broke thanks to icbc and my ignorance. (it's a long story)
- procrastinated on writing papers due next week
- planned a goth night with Noni who has rekindled his love for manson + twiggy.
speaking of which..
some new pictures for your viewing pleasure.
This was from the day that Noni left for yellowknife
He is pure Natian.
My new black beads!
