Moving

Moving soon..my parents are cleaning and painting, getting the house ready for renting out and moving out. They are sorting through years worth of things. Our last move, my brother and I were still young enough not to want to let go of childhood toys, and the ones we kept are still around, and being sorted through now. I have barbie dolls, batman toys, star trek next gen toys, ninja turtles, smurfs...some of it I would still like to keep, however. I wonder what my brother will say when he finds out the Lego is actually mine and not his...Muahahaha. Also, i won the N64, which is shared between us, in rock paper scissors. And my dad's NES (which i need to figure out how to fix.)

The parents are also going through a wedding box. They just threw out their cake topper (why they kept it i dont know) and are talking about something called a scapula, and wedding invitations. When you sort through your life, how do you decide what's worth keeping? Really it's just STUFF. items. Material goods. But some of it you still decide is worth keeping, something you like as a memento. It's just odd letting go of something you kept for so long, even though you never looked at it, but kept it in a box or a drawer.

I just threw away all my love letters from high school. I kept them all becuse they were so cute. I would have kept them still but figured some of my hs boyfriends may not be so pleased that they are still around haha. It was hard, too, because bf's don't write me love letters anymore, not like they used to. Life was so much easier when we sat around taking notes in class and weren't paying attention but sketching and writing to each other instead. You can't tune out your undergrad or gradschool profs or you're in trouble!

Anyway gotta go through my old VHS tapes and toys now, get stuff ready for selling/donating/garbage. adventure to the past!

school

While applying for OSAP (student loan), I am realizing that Canada sucks. Nordic countries, some EU countries, and some South American countries have free post-secondary school. Canada has cheaper tuition than some countries, but still too much. I want to move to Norway and have free school! How awesome would that be?!!! Plus, people there are probably less dumb 'cause they're more inclined to go to school.

salsa

dear neal brothers,
your habanero salsa makes tears come out of my eyes and my nose run.

Afghanistan

Just recently Obama had to take responsibility for the apparently accidental koran burnings in afghanistan. now a soldier with a so-called recent mental breakdown goes on a shooting rampage and kills civ's and children? they better do something soon or they're in big trouble, the locals already hate the US more than ever before. conspiracy theorists are gonna have a field day.

Time to grow up, Jackie

Have you ever noticed that everything big happens all at one time? So for me, it's time to grow up, and fast. The bf and I are no longer together, my parents are up and moving to Vancouver, and I'm still at the stage in life where you're like "um, can everyone please just revolve around me for a while still? 'cause I have no idea what to do right now and was enjoying the comfort of nothing changing." So now what? Yikes! I mean nothing would be more awesome than going to Van, but shouldn't I be responsible and do more school first? and school is great and all, but now that I have nothing holding me to one spot shouldn't I take the opportunity and have an adventure? And if I stay where do I live? and if i go, where do I work? There's only one solution. Cookies.

Zombies

In case of a zombie attacks, the apocalypse, 2012, or natural disasters leading to the decimation of the human race, i hope you will follow me to safety. Central ontario is on the canadian shield. This is beneficial because there are few people living in most of it, there are no volcanoes, we are too far from the ocean for hurricanes, flood, and tsunami activity to effect us, and because of the winter temperatures we will remain isolated (this is important in case of war and zombie-ism being contagious). The land is abundant in natural resources like fresh water and forest, and lots of animals and plants are available for eating. Also, pollution levels that far from cities are low, so you can actually drink the fresh water. Unless you have a better idea, please keep this in mind. Also, please do not become a zombie and attack me or i will have to kill you. that would suck.
