I've had some really amazing late night convos with Ray Charles recently. And I've been doing research on certain thing pertaining to things I deal with. Anyway, my mind pooped this out a few minutes ago.
Maybe it’s because you missed the feeling all these years
Or maybe it’s because it’s the only way you know
But that would be a lie because you’re aware of other ways
Maybe it’s just the one you love the most
Love shouldn’t be so destructive
You promised you wouldn’t but this has nothing to do with it
It’s about something different this time
You’re reasons have changed and you realize now that
It’s so burned into who you are you could swear it’s in your DNA
Let’s blame it on bad genes again
Well you don’t feel like yourself anymore
Your philosophies change daily and
You just want to get out of this place
It’s a shame there’s no return policy on these things
Maybe we can exchange our faults for other flaws
But right now your disorders give you orders
Let’s call this part acceptance
You know how fortunate you are but you’re still at odds with fate
Because as hard as you try you still feel ripped off
You wonder how many times you would have to count
All the picture frames on the wall
Til it would just leave you alone
It’s rare when it feels like walls are caving in
Especially when your’s are reinforced
And meant to stand the harshest storms
But all you ever get are weak armies and feeble attempts
At breaking through and breaking in
Let’s remember what caving in really means to you
It has nothing to do with walls but rather
Your heart
Well maybe your heart was never weak
Maybe it’s been your head this whole time
What you have mistaken for logic and reason
Are really just irrational thoughts taking over
Either way you should probably stop caving in
But maybe it’s because you missed the feeling all these years
Maybe it’s obsession
You were always amazed with how the human condition heals
Ok, now back to writing about hockey...McNHL in three!

smile like you mean it for once
we haven't spoke for a very long time
since your birthday really, but that was just a hello, happy birthday message
a real conversation happened about 4 months ago
doesn't seem long, but it feels like forever
you were absent from my mind for a while actually
which is quite nice in reality considering i should be thinking about other things
and focusing my time on my friends and school
but you've snuck your way back
i don't know how
and i don't know when
but you are there
i was thinking about 2 summers ago
and how happy i was, how you made me smile and laugh
and feel amazing
you brought some much needed smiles into my life
thanks for that. you will never know, but you helped me overcome some real hard moments
i also thought about last summer
and how i pulled away
and how hard it was for me to be the person i should be with you
i've always wondered if you noticed
it seemed like you did
but that could just be me imaging things again
anyways, i'm not writing this to dwell on the past
and i'm not writing this to pretend that i am completely over you
it's more of an apology
something crossed my mind today while i was supposed to be researching for a paper
its more of a what-if -apology
anyways, i'm rambling
i was thinking about how shitty i felt when i found out you had a girlfriend
how empty i felt and how i finally understood what nothing felt like
it was hard to concentrate on school and it was hard to even laugh
then i thought, what if i made you feel like that
let's say you were interested in me
and because i have the inability to let someone love me
i acted disinterested
that means i shut you down
i would have hurt you
in this what-if world, i am truly sorry.
after conversations and trying to figure myself out
its been discovered that i am my own worst enemy
and in the process of this self-destruction
not only am i hurting myself
but i could have hurt you
for the sake of you, i hope you never liked me.
i would never want to make you feel like shit.
sincerely your friend,
ray charles

Assembling the right words to explain this is too hard now
Blah. I'm on four hours sleep from last night, and I need to wake up by 6:30 again this morning...oh well, life of an insomniac. I don't want to go to bed, because I just lay there and think about things I'd rather not thing about right now. That's the worst part, and probably why I stay up so late...so that when I do finally go to bed, I'm tired enough that I fall asleep quicker, without much thinking. Dallas Green got it so right in his song The Sleeping Sickness.
Anyway, I'm excited for my model UN conference next week. Some awesome people are going, no douchebags. And I got the Toronto Maple Leafs in the NHLPA! I really hope I do well. I know the parties are going to be amazing. This is pretty much the largest model UN conference in North America, and all three top model UN American schools show up which is rare (and prob has something to do with the drinking age being 18 in Quebec haha).
Also, my now ex-husband came back to the NHL from Russia this past weekend. The St. Louis Blues signed him to a one year contract, and he was even on the ice today for the pre-game skate against the Kings...and then the San Jose Sharks stole him off his re-entry waivers. So much for being reunited with Colaiacovo and Steen. And I say ex-husband only because I just found out he's been married for like a year and he's expecting a little Wellwood now. So, I think I'm just going to stick to liking him as a hockey player, hopefully he does well in San Jose....which is a team I've never liked much aside from Joe Thorton. But they do have two Finnish goalies, Antti Niemi who won the Cup with Chicago last year, and the goalie with possibly the funnest Finnish name ever, Antero Niittymaki haha (I always laughed when he was on the Flyers back in the day, such a bad ass name).
So, I guess I'll try sleeping now. Goodnight.

sex jokes are funny
this entry has nothing to do with the title. i just couldn't think of anything else to write in the title box so that is what i came up with. if you don't like it, go fuck yourself.
the funny thing is, sex jokes are often funny. my friends here are quite sexually active (no big deal, just saying) so jokes about opening your legs fast and white shit on their face is made often or anything that is said that sounds sexual. for example, one of my friends spilled her tea and she opened her legs really fast to avoid the spill. my first comment was 'wow you open your legs like a pro.' in reality, she seems to have her spill reflexes down, but it still funny to say. in that situation i would totally have tea on my legs because i would not move fast enough. oh well. today we were actually talking about cherry tomatoes. i was the brilliant one who said 'i don't like when they explode in my mouth.' yep, it was funny.
i saw this ad online when i was looking for something on google images. i really don't feel like thinking about it as an academic.. but it made me laugh
i have been gathering all the stuff needed for my grad school applications which are do february 1st. i got really good news on tuesday actually. one of my profs wants to do grad work with me which is awesome considering i love her. she also went on about how amazing my paper for her was and it was beyond fourth year level and she could not believe i wrote and gained that knowledge in one term. i didn't want to tell her i wrote it in two days. now that i think of it, i watched toy story three one of the days because i was bored. i remember having a convo on msn as well with snoogs about ryan reynolds and the movie buried or something and she told me theres a snake in it...and now i can't watch it because i hate snakes. anyways, yea that's exciting and really good news. now i don't know which program i want!
what else, my sociology of resistance and revolt prof is amazing. he is so cool and used to/may still be a punk! i answered a question about the sex pistols in class because i wrote a historiography of english punk in the 70s so i read lots about them, which sucked because all authors talked about them as if no one else existed. one thing he said though which was confusing to me was that punk lasted half a year...which i know isn't true and he said today's punk is 'bullocks' and green day is punk. so, either he is now considered an outsider of punk, of which would think green day of today is punk or he still is stuck in 70s punk and doesn't know punk still exists, although its changed, today. he's still awesome. my goal is to talk to him about music sometime this term.
what else. there's a lot of snow here and its so cold today. i was freezing walking home from school. today class was boring. so i was texting j and i was telling her what i was learning because it sounds weird. on the screen it said 'why talk about sex?' and then i got the song in my head which wasn't fair of the prof (for those who don't know what i'm talking about 'let's talk about sex baby' also on bill nye as 'let's talk about stress found below because its AWESOME).
so yea then i went to lunch with a friend. i've been trying to find something good to eat at school since nothing seems to be just what i want anymore. so i got humus and pita. SO YUMMY! i want some now.
here's some really cool shit i've come across recently during my adventures on the internet!
this is the t-dot in the 1900s. amazing. check out more here: http://www.blogto.com/city/2010/12/toronto_of_the_1900s/
this is cute. should be my life. read the story here: http://www.glamour.com/weddings/blogs/save-the-date/2009/04/this-adorable-boyfriend-propos.html
i want to make this for my new camera!
thats all
i am seeing the dilemma tomorrow. it better be funny! i really want theatre popcorn yumm

Plans Change and Paths Uncross
Hello blog, ready for another post? There are a few things on my mind I want to write about.
First, if you haven't heard already there was a shooting in Tuscon, Arizona outside a grocery store where local citizens were meeting Democratic Congresswoman Gabriell Giffords. Six people were killed, including a nine year old little girl attending the meeting since she was on her school's student government and was interested in politics (she's also the grandaughter of Dallas Green, the former manager of the Phillies when they won the World Series in 1980, of whom Dallas Green of Alexisonfire and City & Colour was named after - strange connection).
Anyway, there has been a lot of tension in the States especially since the Republicans took majority of the House of Representatives at the end of 2010, and the emergence and growing support of the Tea Party Movement. Now people are saying this shooting had to do with the political discourse and intense polarity of American politics. Especially when we have hard core conservatives such as Glenn Beck and Sarah Pailin. Addtionally, the whole "right to bare arms" in the USA probably made it easy for the psycho who shot these people to get a gun. One reason I'm glad to be Canadian - our gun registry. I'm also glad that in the Canadian political system people are only opponents, not enemies. The USA appears to be more messed up than ever.
I started classes this week, but I still have two old full year courses and three new ones. I'm excited for Ontario Environmental Politics, I think I can really do well in that class and I'll enjoy it. My seminar on Rousseau seems intense, epsecially since there are Masters and Ph. D. students in it, one of whom is my Canadian Political Parties TA! I bought a book on Rousseau's Social Contrat and other political writings, so I'll have to do some reading this weekend. I'm worried because political theory kids are intense know-it-alls and I know barely anything about Rousseau. But the prof seems really nice.
The class I had today was my Environmental Debates Seminar, but there are at least 27 kids in the class and it's not like the seminars Ray Charlers has. The profs are two I've had before and I like them, so that's good. We're doing debates, so I'll have to bring out my inner model UN delegate haha.
I have a two hour break on tuesdays with two of my really good university friends I met during frosh week, I'm really happy about that. And it's two weeks til I go to Montreal for my 1st model UN conference of the year! I just want to find out my position, I guess I will next week. Oh, and I finally bought my Audrey Hepburn poster because the poster people were back at my school this week! It's from the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's, and her crown and necklace are sparkly.
I have photos for one of my model UN conferecnes at the meeting friday and then grad photos next wednesday, oh boy! I need to look good. Leafs are also on a FOUR GAME WINNING STREAK! Yay!

I was ready for forever
Hello blog, it's been like a few days lol...but compared to every day during our 63 day challenge it's been a while. Anyway, i feel like talking a little. To start, I just checked my grades tonight after my friend who also goes to my school said his grades were finally online. So i got an 80 in Economic Ideas and an 83 in Environmental Law!! I was totally expecting a lower mark in enviro law, and actually a little bit higher in economics but whatever, i'll take A's no matter what haha. I was feeling really stressed lately about the new semester beginning and the model UN conferences i'm involved in and waking up early, etc. But now I'm feeling more confident since i saw my grades. It's definately relieving. I can't wait to go to Montreal at the end of January for this UN conference. I still haven't heard back from them about being in the NHL committee, but they said applicants would find out later than normal delegates, and normal delegates don't have their positons yet anyway. I'm just really excited to find out lol.
So tonight I saw the movie Black Swan, and let me tell you it is the most fucked up, crazy, super intense, what the hell is happening awesome movie i've seen. It messes with your head and it makes you feel uncomfortable in many scenes (as someone who is kinda prude, i was like omgomgomg lol). The actors are all amazing too. Plus i love ballet and the dancing was beautiful. But it's a psychological thriller/drama, so don't think it's all "boring ballet" or something, because it most certainly is not.
I also wanted to say how disappointed i am that Team Canada lost to Russia in the World Juniors gold medal game last night. They were up 3-0 going into the third, but let them score five goals and the gold in the end. Uggghhhh! I couldn't believe it. The best way to describe it would be what Bob Mckenzie said, "This is the greatest collapse in the history of the World Juniors..." or by what someone who emailed the Dean Blundell show said his eight year old said after the game, "Are you fucking serious?!" That's how I felt. I was sooo sad seeing those boys at the end, watching the Russians celebrate. It's heart breaking. But they did it to themselves allowing five unanswered goals and completely breaking down. Two year gold drought.
And watching those Russian kids sing their anthem (really really badly, like it hurt my ears) was AWFUL. The Canadian boys never sang Oh Canada once during the tournament, they were silent every time they won. I figured they were waiting until they won gold to let it all out. They were also apparently swearing in Russian when they won, saying like "Fuck ya we won, Russia!" and stuff. BOOOOOOOOOO! At least the Russians were too hung over and dumb today to catch their flight. Apparently they weren't allowed on the plane because they were throwing up and were being too loud and stupid. I don't feel bad for them at all haha.
Speaking of Russia, my husband (ok he's not really my husband) Kyle Wellwood was let go of by his KHL team Moscow Atlant Oblast. He had like 5 goals, 3 assists in 25 games from what i remember as of last week. Definately not his best. Even in his most off-periods during past seasons he did better (except maybe the first 15 games of the 2009-2010 season in Vancouver, that wasn't great). I feel bad for him, because he is teamless and that must suck. He's going to try to find an NHL team probably, but I don't know if it will be allowed this late into the season and with all the rules. But teams looking for missing pieces due to injuries or whatever could use him. I don't care who takes him, I just hope things work out for him. I never saw him fitting in with the KHL style of hockey anyway, he should've tried Sweden, Finland or Germany maybe.
Alright, I'm done for now. And ps. Ray Charles, i also have a Buzz Lightyear mug! lol

i hate valentines day
i just watched a movie called i hate valentines day
this lady is a florist (typical...) and meets this guy who just bought a restaurant down the street from her shop. he's cute, comes in one day they eventually go out. the catch is she has a 5 date limit because 5 dates is the perfect amount of time to have fun but not get attached. she also thinks that relationships are unnatural and that no person has a mr or mrs right.
what happens is actually expected. she goes on the dates with him, by the 4th date they have sex and she stays the night and the following night. she counts it as 4 dates, he counts it as 5. they run into each other, she says why haven't you called, we still have one more date, he says we had five. she pretends to be joking. they go on with their lives miserable.
the audience eventually finds out that her parents are divorced and her father cheated on her mother. she can't love because she doesn't let anyone love her because she's afraid of getting hurt. eventually on the valentines day the following year, he professes his love to her by singing to her (something he is afraid of doing) on the street while she watches from the window. she runs down, kisses him and he says be my girlfriend? she says yes. the end.
the movie wasn't good but it wasn't terrible either. i was just most surprised that the story was like that at all. fear is often showcased in romantic comedies - fear of dating and getting hurt because of past relationships. i can't think of one that was fear of getting hurt because the most important man in your life was a douchebag. quite interesting, not profound by the least but interesting.
there was a very telling line in the movie - humans have survived this long by avoiding pain.
my life in a nutshell.
