<Thank you for the life, lord, But I resent the poor spelling skills. The plot holes, The never ending rising action, The inappropriate dialogue, The lack of imagery. Thank you for the life god, But you need to work on your writing skills>
I'm photogenic, the admissions lady thought so. I think it's a concept other people need to define, because what I think is good on me seems to be only understood by me but if i'm to like myself, why should I listen to other people. Because they matter more than you, they just do They always will. Can't just do what you want, that would be pointless, what you want is going to have to intertwine and compliment what everyone else wants. That's the only way to get people to like you, to get your way, to do what you want. Make sure everyone thinks it's what they want too. It's fine, I'm photogenic and likable I think I said that. They said, 'what else would make you a good doctor' after i gave my long rehearsed speech to that answer. I said "I'm likable and make people comfortable." I hope that wasn't a lie. I certainly believed it in that moment.
I can't react now because I was dissappointed in them. I can't feel like they were impressed by me because I didn't feel impresesd by them. It should be mutual. I felt great immediately after.
Then the cold rain hit my face and I mellowed, my heartbeat slowed, my feet started to ache from the stupid mary janes, and i got to my car, took out my laptop and stayed there for an hour wondering what I should do next. No one was free for lunch.
Then I wasn't free for lunch. It happens. Then you fall into a vague sea of bubbles. Light headedness leads to headaches which last days and won't go away even after the best nap one could ever have in the history of naps. I dreamed of maps, no joke, I dreamed I was in my gold map sailing about in a gold ocean, the sun set and never sunk. I was in my own personal arc, with a kaleidoscope tha wasn't meantto be a kaleidoscope. I saw sea monsters in it. Men with one large foot food in place of legs, with hands in place of heads, serpents that became dragons and other surreal things.
Not true. I dreamed he was there too.
Thinking about the future is an unfortunate task, one that if i avoid for too long will cause the loss of my future. Those eyes became more and more beautiful in my memory as days passed but I forgot the voice.
I feel so much.
I'm so apathetic. It's a defence mechanism.
This is all a defence mechanism. |

The look of shock on your face the day I show up at your door - to take in your grace, to linger, admire your beautiful insights - leaves me anticipating the stupor and doubt. Your cheeks ruminating pucker in and swell out as you let me in.
Inside, let's open the folds Find that thought confectory where you keep and hold the empty vestibules of memory that I'll fall into. There, render me through - with care, with love - with watercolour hues until I become one of your beautiful insights. |

and now I shall try to remember what my life has been about since... the 17th it looks like. I'd like to meet someone who's able to live as passively as I do :P
so I think I've seen a few movies... the holiday and blood diamond, both very good in very different ways. I even shed a tear during blood diamond, and most of you know that I have never cried for a movie ever. I think I'm getting sentimental in my old age. I don't at all feel like i'm 21, I still feel 17, yes, exactly 17. Hmm...I really do love Leonardo Dicaprio....every time I say that someone is shocked and then I have to explain that I've never seen Titanic, then after a brief moment of understanding I have to face another moment of shock.
And omg, I saw this bollywood movie...dhoom 2, which is like mission impossible 3 as far as action/gimmicks go...except it's got two of the best looking people in the freakin world...it was so much hotness I had to pause the movie twice to take a break from it. If you're curious, you can find trailers/songs on youtube. and here's a picture of the two: http://www.hindustantimes.com/wfsf/medium/2006/11.24/images/medium1851602.jpg and here's the whole cast: http://www.thehimalayantimes.com/Aeon/News/2006/11/25/images/200611241413477.jpg You get the idea...and here's the thing, the acting and the plot were actually good....well, passable...but hey, good.
I've had a lot of lunch/dinner dates, no real party since the 19th...which was the killarney dinner followed by the ifc end-of-exams party. I thikn hte killarney dinner was a lot better than I was expecting, but it was surprisingly cliquey....I was shocked, debs, liza, megan and I split ourselves up on purpose but no one else seemed willing to let go of their groups. I was even more shocked by the actions of one particular person who pissed me off supremely. Our waiter was awesome though and he was from killarney too...how awesome is that? The party at richard's afterwards was really fun but a bit awkward becaues everyone was too drunk to do anything but sway around or grind. It was awkward that Jen and I were just drunk enough to dance like idiots :P there was a nice moment when someone bumped into me and spilled his drink and felt really bad and told me in what seemed like honest surprise (but I was drunk) that I was beautiful...but I was too busy dancing.
Did a volunteer gift wrap thing on the 22nd which was uber-fun. Wrapping gifts is awesome! It got stressful though when this woman showed up with ~9 packages that needed to be done before her baby woke up and started crying. But hey, we got free hot chocolate, coffee and 40% discount on milestone's food :) The day after that I went to the GK lunch, which was also load of fun. I missed my fake-boyfriend :P
Three parties this week have all been family related. The first was one of our usual singing parties, went excellently as I was handed some crown royal+ fresca and starting belting out tunes without any regard to who's turn it was :P As for hte second party...Am tuckered out by the forced socializing with brown girls I am beginning to belive I will never have anything in common with. Actually at one of hte parties, I got so bored/left out that I went into the other room and started playing poker with the boys. I think though that because of me they played without money...so that wasn't so fun...I did win though and that's always nice...again I was told that I have balls...Yesterday my dad's friends started playing indian poker...a game called flash...which completely sucks cause there's no way to win by bluffing...you can try but you'll just loose, which sucks for me cause i can hardly ever win any other way...I also had to sing yesterday, actually I think my mom's getting a little carried away with all this...but I'm even more obligated to sing for these people because they are my father's movie producing partners and well..you know. So I had to learn a new song yesterday...which I promptly forgot and I started making stuff up for bits of it...but I was praised for the 'creative variations' so whatever.
Past two days I have been trying to work on thesis stuff but have been spectacularly frustrated/unsuccessful.... me thinks I need to head to ubc to get stuff done.
Tomorrow will go with megan for her first tattoo session. I promise lots of ink, blood and photographs. Tomorrow I also have that may-or-may-not-be-but-i-hope-it's-not-date with that nice guy that I feel rather guilty about not being attracted too... |

Chāp tilak sab chīnī re mose nainā milāike You've taken away my looks, my identity, by just a glance. Prem bhadī kā madvā pilāike By making me drink the wine from the distillery of love. Matvālī kar līnhī re mose nainā milāike You've intoxicated me by just a glance; Gorī gorī baīyān, harī harī chudiyān My fair, delicate wrists with green bangles baīyān pakad dhar līnhī re mose nainā milāike Have been heldtightly by you with just a glance Bal bal jāūn main tore rang rajvā I give you my life of you, oh my cloth-dyer, Apnī sī kar līnhi re mose nainā milāike You've dyed me in yourself, by just a glance. Khusro Nijām ke bal bal jāe I give you my whole life, Nijaam Mohe Suhāgan kīnhī re mose nainā milāike You've made me your bride, by just a glance.
Thank you wikipedia for the poetry and translation. This piece is where soooo much of indian love songs get their material, I've heard almost all of that before in bits and pieces. It's so great! and the poem itself has been made into a song, for which i can't finda good version, but i hear it so beautifully in my head, i think I'll have to make my own version for it. I gotta have the patience to sit down and learn some verses though, so far I get bored listening after the first two lines. |

I want something.
What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it?What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it?
Who knows. Two weeks now and finally I miss school/full time job. I think I'm an extrovert and have realized it too late in life and don't really know what to do with myself because I make such an unsatisfactory introvert.
Went to a work party yesterday to meet those people that employ me but for whom I actually haven't worked yet. That was a terrible sentence. Went to Megan's housewarming party on friday...it was nice meeting all those people and hanging out again. I think the highlight of the evening was when I was asked if I had a penis...because that was the only oddity that was going to top a bearded-lady fetish. Oh and I made curry chicken for the pot luck and the death toll still stands at 0. Congratulate me! made indian food for the first time ever.
Today I had laksa (with Debbie) and I went to the gym (alone). I also read a lot. Too much. Too much reading is bad for me, I should start doing something less passive, like watching tv.
Had to cancel christmas biophys event. Am sad :'( |

Change eh? Everyone I know is self-aware enough to try and change through active self-reflection. I find it annoying. There must be a way to do this without thinking, a way to do it through emotion and intuition. That is my reason for acting on strong impulses and being moody every now and then. That's how the best things have happened in my life anyway...not through this strange thing called 'hard work' :P
So what are we doing? We're roaming the cliffs of our personalities, evaluating, deciding what needs to be pushed off and what needs to be pulled to the core. I think we're all at that point now, trying to fill up the core with things we won't regret in the future, because we're old enough now to understand what regret means on a small level and are afraid of what will become if we give it time to evolve.
So here we go, pushing and pulling. On with the show. There will be a time when we decide won't we? When we'll calm down? Stop roaming the edges and rise above, embrace it or fall below and be smothered? One or the other, equilibriums are hard to maintain.
I can't remember what i've been doing lately, something about paperwork, guitars, applications, emails and other random junk that seems to take up my day. Cleaning out both my computers has been an unexpected and large task. I've also been walking for all my errands...which also takes up a lot of time. But walking is nice, as is jogging, which is what i do when my errands don't require carrying junk. Took my grad photo, I felt like a model that day my hair and make-up was so well behaved. Also went to the UBC Biomedical Library for the first time ever... |

-Finished my one final today -Went to some beer gardens on friday cause i felt like doing something party like...was fun, watched happy feet afterwards, didn't like it so much, but gotta say, drunkeness enhanced the singing/dancing. -went christmas caroling on saturday, felt damn good to sing and hear my voice with ohter people's and hear it do something it hasn't done for a while...my voice was even cracking i'm so out of practice...kind of sad now caues i miss it. -been trying to study isnce then, didn't really get to it until yesterday, exam went okay, but it would only have been acceptable if i hadn't slacked so much for hte remainder of the course. -went to zach's afterwards to watch donnie darko, made me sad, i can't be existenial anymore -been trying to write, seem to be lacking in images and sound...abundant emotion though, which i hate, felt like it used to be the opposite. -feel anxious now, gotta make a to-do list and find more reasons to leave the house tomorrow (am going shopping tomorrow with amy though, i totally need that) -been having this weird stomach/digestive thing, been making me feel queasy and making it hard to eat...so i go most of the day without eating until i get a hunger headache and just binge...then get queasy again...perhaps i'll try forcing myself to eat at regular intervals and see what that does.
-want a roadtrip, someone come with me somewhere? -want a party...got lots to invade -want an adventure...need better hobbies/more available friends :P
UPDATE: boy, i love shopping, shopping for me, for others, for stuff, for groceries....buying things is nice. Even though I am currenly poor and have no money, I chose a day and an amount i was willing to give up, i gave it all up today: -NICE 20$ black jeans from the gap -plain red shirt from the gap -shiny black tank top that looks like it's pleather but actually cotton :) -ginormous shiny green hoop earrings -black metal beaded many layered necklace -gold/copper bangles -my secret santa present ;) |

Last night, chocolate binge, mad dancing to religious muslim music treated bollywood style (yes, i know), and winding down with "warning sign" and some random hindi songs about being so passionately in love that well, beloved cliches follow.
It's not as good as I feel it used to be, but it's better than other things of late.

P.S. snow is only fun for hte first day, and only fun when there's no where to go. It took 20 minutes to get on the skytrain, 20 minute ride during which I got accidentally molested 5 times, 50 min wait for the B-line, hour ride to school, missed entire first class. But snowball fight was fun. |

I never told you guys about my weekend. Apologies.
Friday: -Friday actually began on thursday, when i freaked out about my lack of home-making skills. -As some of you will recall, I passed grade 8 home ec mostly due to pity and charimsa ;) -I was supposed to make chocolate fondue for the phys wine and cheese -I know what you're thinking, how hard can melting chocolate be? -well, you should know, that Disha is capable of making anything 10x harder than it really needs to be -Friday was going to be a busy day, with three meetings + a date with liza that would have me running back and forth around campus. -So I decided on thursday to cut up the fruits -as soon as i had done it I realized that fruits are known to oxidize once their insides are exposed -commence freak out. -liza and sophy calmed me down though, it was really funny. -I put the apples in salt water like liza said and the strawberries and pears would have to fend for themselves -I also had the inspired ideas to use marshmellows... -come friday, I find out from liza that the apples were only supposed to be in salt water for 1/2 an hour -whatever, my freak out was over, i was back to being passive -at sophy's place I decided to add random milky ingredients to the fondue in an attempt to keep the chocolate liquid because we wouldn't be able to keep it warm -as you will also recall, I'm not so good at using recipes to make anything -I ended up making orange flavored chocolate fondue...almost tasted like liquer -awesomeness, i even got a person who searched me out specifically to compliment it -happiness -I considered joining hte cs peeps at a party somewhere, but i had my car, sophy needed a ride home, and i was exhausted from all the walking i had done that day (forestry -> buchanan -> cs -> math -> cs -> SUB -> thunderbird -> hennings)
Saturday: -I was supposed to go to a volunteer orientation session but opted out due to mother, liza and zach's voices roaming around in my head telling me that I need money and should really stop volunteering now cause I don't even need it for med school. -I know, but I feel empty and I'm sure helping poor kids learn math will really help me fix that -Either ways, i regretted the decision and will probably go to anohter orientation in january, just to see it, i don't have to sign up for anything if it's ridiculous time commitment...but I'm sure it's not...anyway...we'll see in jan -it started snowing like crazy, i was shocked with disbelief -but i made the trek all the way out to ubc for mike's birthday (for which i had promised myself i would only stay till 11 or 11:30) -I ended up heading downtown with them to the Royal (no longer my favorite place now that I've experienced it at lower levels of inebriation, too many creepy/aggressive boys...which is weird cause we were with 3 or 4 guys already, that generally garantees that we'll be left alone) -Regardless, I was convinced (I succumb to peer pressure waaaay to easily) to stay and that someone would let me sleep over. -That someone was supposed to be Mike, but Mike got really plastered and well, there was no way I would be able to carry him home, so we sent him off the the majority of hte crowd back to ubc -I would have gone too, but I went with my other friend instead cause I know he has a spare room and I've been there before. -although this is the first time i'll actually be able to remember his place :P -haha, and i ended up meeting his mom in the morning, who according to him, wouldn't care because she's used to 'random stuff happening' -I felt awkward, but she was really very nice and I just left as soon as I could
Sunday: -more snow, kept snowing, fun in the snow with ma famille -had to work on homework mostly -SoCo came up with the brilliant idea of a snowball fight as a biophys event, got really excited
Monday: -too much snow, everything got cancelled -no school, no work, no snowball fight :( -sigh, amy and i had such good plans too. |

Render reconciliation of think, feel and be. Keep it together now, Vapor from a pool of me. I am a unity
Dee: So here we are. Shah: looks like it. Dee: Did you like me better when we were incompatible? Shah: I think I did. Dee: Are you sad that you managed to change me? Shah: No, because I don't think I did. Dee: Then what was it? Shah: You gave up. Dee: That's not fair. Shah: We both gave up Dee: Okay, that's a little more fair. Shah: I gave up on you then I let myself go, stopped listening, forgot, and there we went, in each others arms, falling towards this lack of duality. Dee: you're starting to sound like me...bad analogies much? Shah: We fell apart when we become one. Dee: Yeah, I was better at the poeticisms. Shah: See why I miss you so much? Dee: I miss me too. |

I'm bored of writing about myself and my stupid feelings. So I'm also putting down rhymes I choose to write to referesh my lost and deliciously annoying talent. My rhythms are off, but I think practice will fix that. I'll also be writing about my weekends and any especially interesting happenings as they happen.
Weekend the last:
Friday: Janice's birthday, nice fun. Dinner and cake and hanging out, like that old time sober craziness I used to love...kinda made me miss the trinity, triad and trio.
Saturday: Curling! always uber-fun, male/female ratio was waaaayyy off this year though, one of the biophys profs came and curled with us for a while, always nice when that happens :) Came home for house party, one of those singing/music ones, didn't end up singing myself though, men were to drunk to let me. I don't know if it's a 'I didn't have to sing' or 'I didn't get to sing' but I'm starting to think it's more of a 'I didn't get to' dissappointment. I need to find an outlet for this... I did a lot of dishes though, been a long time, I missed doing dishes. Discovered this random obscure song in my memory:
Hum tere bin kaheen reh nahi paate I can't seem to live (stay anywhere) without you Tum nahin aate to hum mar jaate If you hadn't come, I would have just died Hi! Pyaar kya cheez hai ye jaan nahin paate sigh! I would have never learned what love is.
*added to the list of tacky wedding songs I love even though they are tacky cause I can totally see myself feeling that way*
Sunday: Woke up uber-late cause i stayed up uber-late. Did stuff at home, didn't leave the house all day, always leaves me despressed. Today I got out, so I feel better.
I want to move out so badly, feeling suffocated by parental affection and consideration...which riddles me with guilt-ridden anger, but not in any extreme amounts, just makes me itchy. |

India Arie songs are turning out to be somewhat dangerous. I don't just like her songs, I get freakin obsessed with them.
First one was Brown Skin... Then it was this song called "I am not my hair" feat. Akon, Now it's "These eyes"
Just keeps playin over and over in my head, forget my ipod, I can't turn it off even with OLP therapy. I'm afraid to listen to any more of her songs.
hmm..I got nothing profound to say, too bad. I've also started listening to more incubus.
My proposal stuff left me feeling sad and directionless in life. So I'm going to head back to confusion lane in Denial...it was a comfortable spot to be. But Brandon Boyd thinks I shouldn't let the fear drive. Honestly though, when I'm behind the wheel I just seem to end up at a party, or asleep.
The water here has gotten contaminated due to heavy rains, we are advised not to drink it, wash our dishes, brush our teeth or wash our fruits and vegitables with it. It's all yellow and murky, it's disgusting.... I can't take a shower :( You know my 24 hour rule, you know what it does to me, don't you GVRD water systems? don't you know anything at all?
My sister watching fraser heard what is now our new paraphrase:
You're not in love with her so much as you are in love AT her (fraser saying to niles while speaking of his very unrequited love for daphne...very hilarious, belive me).
I was talking to my friend the other day and she was complaining about this guy who turned out to be jerky not because he was a jerk but because he made no effort to be with her or to contact her after a few good dates. In her experience (and she's had a lot of bad luck) guys are stupid and don't know what they want so they stop trying and miss out on great girls. I think she was being sensitive. She concluded that she wasn't gonna go out with anyone now until she knew that he had been like stalking her, or obsessed with her, someone who likes her for her... not just becuase she's cute and smart and that's good enough.
So I told her she should find someone who loves her like a JT song, for example:
Yeah, you know I can make ya happy I could change your life If you give me that chance To be your man I won't let you down baby ....of course, that song continues on to my favorite part: Girl ride with me, you deserve the best Take a few shots Let it burn in your chest We could ride down Pumpin N.E.R.D. in the deck Funny how a few words turn into sex (I just love your...brain)
in his newest single: Because, I can see us holding hands walking on the beach our toes in the sand I can see us in the country side sitting in the grass laying side by side You can be my baby Gonna make you my lady Girl you amaze me Ain't gotta do nothin crazy See all I want you to do is be my love
....oh, and even nelly in girlfriend said something very touching: He don't love you like I do love you He don't squeeze you like I squeeze I'll make your neck pop back and in fact I'll buckle your knees ...and even more so: I'll be your personal shrink boo I care what ya think ...and my favorite: I put ya so high on a pedestal, it might make ya nose bleed So much ice around ya ankles, and watch ya toes freeze
Yes, JT would rock your body too.
Perfect man eh?
haha, except that he's not karl urban, and seems to have a permanent case of coupetlitis. I think only one person in a relationship should suffer from that disease (at maximum) and I already have a recurring case to deal with.
too bad. |

Hmm...working with kids is alright, very few of them are uncooperative. My employer seems to believe I am better off helping the very young kids...go figure, so that's what I generally do.
So I'm there today and while I'm helping them I think, I hope to god my kids aren't dumb. I wouldn't be able to handle or fix that. I mean, struggling is fine, we can work through hard stuff. But failing to grasp simple mathematical concepts - like place values - in grade 3, I can't handle that (And don't you judge, I remember very well what I was capable of in grade 3 cause they made me take a lot of tests before they let me skip into it). While we're on it, I hope my kids aren't ugly (very few people are, after all) and I hope they laugh more than normal (with me and at me). That's all I want from genetics, I can handle the rest or will marry someone who can (Health is a default hope).
While I help these kids, I go through a lot more random emotions than I do in my day to day...and that's probably a large reason I dislike working with them...I don't dislike the kids, kids are great, they amuse me and I like helping them and making them laugh at stupid things. (I also make them read The Lion King, Aladdin and The Empreror's New Clothes cause I freakin can :P) It's all the feelings that are exhuasting and distracting. One started telling me about how she resents her teachers for telling her they're bad at something in their report card...and then I start resenting shit. I'm porous around them, generally.
Of course, the main reason I don't like working with kids is having to discpline them. I can't do it with other people's kids, we'll see how it works out with my own.
I've been jogging home afterwards (just from kingsway down patterson), a five-minute jog is better than no jog! I don't know why, I just started running and it was much nicer than not.. and quicker. It takes one song, so far I've done Thousand Mile Wish (F11), Everything You Want (vertical horizons), If you Believe (OLP), aaaaaand Sexy Back (JT :P) of course. It's making up for my lack of dance-cleaning space at home these days. |

I'll wear you, gather you around and lay you down I'll breathe you in and sing you into my song.
The older I get, the lazier I get The older I get, the lonelier I get The older I get, the more I want to get married.
I know I'm jumping the gun, but somewhere in the back of my head, I'm probably thinking it's a cure for the loneliness, something to count on in the middle of all the change. But it's getting worse. What's wrong with me? Maybe I just want a family so that I can be in control of something.
I think though, this is another one of those, we're winding down and starting something new feelings, always disguising itself as a need/want for a bunch of things I'm not ready to have.
So I'm quitting at iCapture, as cool as the science is, the place is not for me and the timing is all wrong. Maybe in the future, though now my head is swarming with ideas of tangent projects that maybe I can pursue later in life...somehow my mind has changed gears to optical imaging of the brain. All the diabetes, exercise, blood + heart stuff wasn't for me. I'm also going back to math biol because I left it unfinished and I can't have that on my track record (and you know, it'll be fun).
I wish I could decide something beyond "I want to go to med school and maybe space camp." Yes, the space camp thing is new. But being a space doctor would be awesome wouldn't it? Yes, something beyond just going to med school. Haha 'just' going to med school...like it's some small thing.
Just watch, I'll become a mediocre doctor with a rich family life.
Where's the destiny, why should there be such a thing for Disha. |

Why do I do the things I do? How do people find aims and how do they build towards them and not loose their concentration as often as I do? I wish my life would be as inconsistent as I am...no, no I don't.
Let me take everthing I say back. It should be up to the listener to figure out what I really mean and how much of it I mean to really say.
I don't even know if the title of the entry means anything...seriously, it's made up spanish as far as I know.
Here's what the title should be: Of pirates, video games and world cups.
Here's my weekend in a nutshell: Friday: Pirates Saturday: Video Games Sunday: World Cup.
More detail below: Friday: Chloe and co. joined myself, cyn, debs and Kusala for Jack Sparrow No. 2. hmm...pirate love. Still don't feel much for johnny depp though, he still creeps me out. And orlando bloom needs acting lessons pretty badly. I mean, he's had plenty of time since Legolas to shake it off and learn something new, but he doesn't seem to have done it. but...action is fun...Jack sparrow is funny...Kiera Knightly is hot. It all works. After the movie I crammed 9 people into my car and drove them to the 45th and tyne area. then i drove kusala back to ubc. Got home at 2:30ish and passed out.
Saturday: woke up at about 12, pretty impressive, I think. Spent the day not doing much, drove to ubc to pick up my contacts, which I had ordered 2 weeks prior and had forgotten about :S you know, all the money I'm earning is going incredibly fast. I'm saving next to nothing because of all my necessary expenses (and because it seems that having fun costs a lot of money...most of which goes to gas!). I also did my laundry (because I forgot to put it in the laundry room, so it didn't get done with everyone else's). So in the evening time I went over to a friend's place (who is actually a firend of a couple of friends and is such a nice guy to have invited me to his thing) to play video games! Mario Party got to be pretty boring but mario kart was exciting, but there were a lot of experts in the crowd. I am still a fan of smash bros though, something Zach (video game supplier) unfortunately doesn't have. Which means I want Cyn to invite me over to play smash bros and lord of the rings. Invite me Cyn! Invite me!
Sunday: Woke up at 9 (would be impressive, if it wasn't for a phone call that woke me up...still impressive that I stayed awake though...except for the fact that I was supposed to leave the house at 9) to go to commercial drive. I knew what it was going to be like, to a certain extent, and I knew a lot of people considered this a bad idea. But for a person like me (and perhaps, the 4 girls I went with - Jen Au + friend, Sherry, and Kusala) it was more about the experience. One I think everyone needs to have at least once in their life (I think 20 is a good age to have it at). To be in a cafe (that cost 10$ to get into) with no tables, chairs, ventilation or room to breathe, full of hot sweaty (and yes, some very good-looking) italians shoulder-to-shoulder was amazingly fun. True, we had to drink a lot of coke and water to keep ourselves from fainting because of the terrible conditions, but man, it was worth the excitment. Afterwars we spent some time walking around the drive, drinking in the major party with our eyes then we went to an italian restaurant. I ate a gigantic calzone. I think I just went to sleep after that when I got home (4 hours to standing like htat will make anyone tired I think). I also watched Hitch, I can remember doing that.
I think I can safely say that I love soccer now (even though I only really got to watch about 4 games) and can't wait for the next world cup.
But we'll see if this feeling lasts 4 years (maybe I'll be cool enough to say bee-yotch in 4 years)

Okay so, I took too long updating and can't remember what i've done and what i haven't told you about.
the weekend before last I went to the beach...and i did something else maybe...but the beach was cool cause i hung out with cyn and crystal and that's all I remember. I think the friday before that i was playing video games...old school nintendo rocks!
Then a week went by...um...i thikn it was uneventful, but don't quote me on that.
Then last weekend..the long weekend...is a bit fresher in my mind.
Friday I saw superman, good movie, good casting. That man looks freakishly like Christopher Reeves. Then i went to sleep.
Then I woke up late to join Crystal and family for a bit of dim sum. After which we went shopping. I spent a lot...supporting the economy on canada day. At night I watched the lake house with a couple of friends. I love keanu now that he's older and constantine and that cute doctor who liked that older lady.
Then on sunday I did stuff too..oh yes, I hung out with chloe, cyn and deb...catching up with people is weird. But with chloe, it's nice.
Then on monday I went kayaking! yay! water is pretty.
Then on tuesday after work, I joined debs and jen au for dinner. Jen is tons of fun.
and now today is wednesday? no, wait, what? thrusday?
What happened to yesterday? oh right. |

Maybe good friends aren't hard to find, but hard to keep. Maybe they're both hard to find and keep. I just keep wondering how it's so easy for me to love people. I don't know how to be sentimental in a poetic way...I'm too lazy to try. Maybe if I had thought a bit before going ahead and writing this... I get so lonely sometimes, but that's an easy feeling to melt away now, even though it comes around more often than I'd like.
I know I have a lot, but I keep wishing for more. I...I'd like to not feel...like I'm missing out on something really important...I don't really know how not to get to that one thing, before I get too old and my own sense of tradition and helplessness forces me into something...I can't decide if that would be right or wrong.
Cyn and I had a mini-road-trip. We saw Liza. We had fun. We posed on a police motorcycle all together and drew ourselves some attention. We got lost. We shopped. We hung out. We tried to talk it out, come to terms. We met some new people. We considered staying.
We are forced now to wind down. How depressing.
Work is getting harder. I have to actually do stuff now. I made some new friends today though. They invited me to join their lunch posse some time. |

So I went to HMV yesterday to buy a cd by the arctic monkies because a guy at work introduced me to them and I find I like their stuff very much. Along with it I bought a Goo Goo Dolls CD because it was a 2 for 25 deal.
Then I proceded to sort out my much neglected cds and put some select ones on my ipod...only to discover that the most important of my important cds were missing! FOUR OLP cds....both LP cds and the first F11 cd! that's clumsy, happiness, spiritual machines, healthy, meteroa, hybrid theory and tip!
I panicked to say the least and searched high and low for them. I ripped apart my car, my room, my study, the kitchen, the dvd shelf...everything! I gave up my search at around 3AM and went to bed.
I found them today in the drawer under the passenger seat in my dad's car. All except meteora and tip. I am still sad, because well, Tip is my favorite F11 cd and meteora is just damn good.
So while I'm at it, long weekend update: hung out at zach and candace's on friday, then went out to dinner with them and zach's comp sci friends. went to lunch with sister, ruchi and sunil then to brentwood mall (:S) with Crystal then I think I watched Battlestar galactica went to metro with Cyn and finally satisfied my shopping itch to it's fullest. went to beach party, which was totally rained on..it was awesomeness. I forgot how much I loved getting soaked in summer rain.
summer rain is the best.
today is laundry and relaxing day. |

I don't know if you've noticed, but I sure have been missing my friends...hence all the love. Three of you are away at once, how the hell am I going to live when I grow up? So, now, instead of doing my work, I am going to describe to you some stuff I may not have already mentioned in detail:
Well, taking that into consideration, I've been trying to cleverly disguise my anti-social qualities, sort of shoving the mess in the closet when company is at the door. Last week I made friends with a girl who's doing a co-op at St. Paul's, got her email, then proceeded to do nothing. Making friends is such hard work! I saw her today and she asked me why I hadn't emailed...I would have blushed had I those particular genes, but I don't. I was sorry though. I plan ask her where I can find her so that I can look for her without having to make email plans first.
She was so great last week though when I didn't have a I.D. securtiy card and couldn't get into any of the bulidings I needed too. She showed me around. I don't get lost at the hospital anymore :P I could probably still get lost, but I know my way around the parts I need.
OOO...I took the shuttle today from UBC to VGH to St. Paul's (yeah, there's no direct thing). Was at UBC to pick up stuff for the lab. I think I like being a "gofer." Everyone at the lab seemed to be having a stressful day today...I felt in the way a bit, as I do sometimes, but I think that'll go away in a few more weeks. I hope :S
Yesterday, I also was at UBC for a 'safety course' which was just a bunch of undergrads doing summer research being talked at for 3 hours by a bunch of men about hazards, hazard signs, and personal protective equipment. Most people were sleeping when I looked around, a cautious bunch weren't sure if there was going to be a test, the rest, like me, lingered soemwhere in between.
At the safety course, I chatted the girl sitting next to me, found out she's from U of Ottowa and I offered up my tour guide services. Actually, the course ended 30 minutes early at 11:30. I was supposed to meet Avi for lunch at 12, and decided that I would give her a tour the part of the campus that I am familiar with, basically, from the bookstore to scarfe to cs to pharmacy. Then I slacked off for a bit with Avi before going ot the lab.
Know what? I need to go shopping. All my lab appropriate clothes suck. I'm too used to looking the way I normally look now...and having to go back to lab geek atire is really hurting me.
Shopping I must go. |

The phone calls are more relaxing now, easier, a break from reality. They've become a rehearsed play and that's what makes me feel like a horrible, crippled person, even though I never lie. Am I worse? Desensitized? Or are the phone calls better? I hope it's the latter...
I quit the TPR job. I was trippin' to think I could do so much after already having spent so much of my brain power trying to stay afloat. trippin' I say.
I'm too young to try to do so much at once. I'm YOUNG! I don't want to be pre-aged, pre-worn, pre-washed, pre- anything. can't loose my freshness, can't bring the expiration date to me...
I want a summer. I want to have fun. I want to...not miss Cyn when she's my only piftt of hs who's still in town! I want to try and learn how to play the guitar, or find my hobbies again.
I lost all my hobbies! That's really really really sad :(
Crystal's not a replacement friend!
Liza is worth all the trouble!
Sybil, you better get your ass back on your computer and talk to me!
And then there was her, the one I loved the most, the one I felt the loss of somewhere beneath feeling, the one we hold on to but aren't talented enough to bring back.
Amy Z., if you're reading, as I know you ocasionally do, you're pretty awesome too. Can't wait till you get back.
All my other friends don't read this (yes, all 3 of them). But I love them too.
So much love.
I quit my job which I hadn't started yet. |
