What school offers that plagarism course? That sounds great!

I'd be scared to death to walk into a highschool class I think.. All those beady little eyes! wink

Update more often, missy! smile

ugh i've been so busy with moving that i haven't been updating.

things at work are still rough. i dont' know how much longer i can tolerate such an unsupportive circle of coworkers.

i don't have the internet in TO right now so i suck.

i want school to start but i don't want to start teaching. i'm in the ghettoest of schools.

nanomaton:
What are you teaching?

How's the new place so far?
eurisko:
ugh i know all about unsupportive coworkers. it makes working the job really hard. i really hope things get better for you.

i flutter between feeling so close to perfect that i cannot help but smile at my reflection in every mirror i pass by, and complete and utter sadness. how can i feel sad on a glorious morning like this?

sometimes i feel like i've made peace with things, with my losses, with being alone. and then, i remember and i feel hopelessly tied to moments...

hooray for being the first poster. you sound to be going thru a lot of stuff i have been. well not exactly, but reaction wise. i feel like i have something just eating away at me, but i cant grasp what. i know its a number of things, i just cant seem to identify what exactly. and its been just driving me crazy. its like i have a hunger i cant seem to fill. so maybe thats not quite the same not that i think about it. but you are a great writer

Your quiet eyes
Your mouth that never tells lies
You've got one out
It's time you told your story
18, alone
In love with the answer phone
And too afraid, you're too afraid to fall for anything
And too afraid, much too afraid to sing

I won't pretend
That I can't see the end, but
It's far away
It's in the distance
We'll find...

i dyed my hair a really dark brown. like my natural colour, basically. i like it. except that it's still a bit reddish. damnation. looks like i can't get rid of the red in its entirety. but it looks better than the brassy red it was before.

i went to blacks and spent 2 hours editing and selecting pictures i want printed. it cost over...

mmmmmmm.. lots of pictures.. I really need to get some pictures printed. I never get anything printed. In fact, I've had this camera for a year, and never once gotten anything I've taken with it printed. I think it's time! smile

Is your apartment's neighborhood nice, at least?
nanomaton:
Yeah, I hear you.. I lived more up that way when I first lived here, but even further north (Lawrence/Bathurst). Really "nice" neighborhood, but like, super boring. There was absolutely nothing around to do. The only nice thing was that there was a good grocery store right around the corner.

One of my good friends has lived in the Yonge/Eglinton area ever since I've known him, so I know it pretty well. I've always liked it up there, although it's a little too snooty at times (especially for shopping).. But generally people are nice. And there IS definintely lots of shops and such. Eglinton West is still nice though. It's still pretty easy to get to Yonge.. and the Bathurst bus runs pretty frequently if you want to go down to Bloor or College or Queen.

"Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks. Perhaps this person will never be disappointed or disillusioned; perhaps she won't suffer the way people do when they have a dream to follow. But when that person looks back - and at some point everyone looks back - she will hear her heart saying, "What have you done with the miracles that God planted...

Pitiful....

Awesome quote. That's pretty much how I feel. I simply don't understand people who are so afraid of something going wrong, they don't take the risk of things going right.

last night was fun. i should be drunk on vodka tonics 24/7. then, i'd be in a great mood. i should also tell boys my friends and i think they're the hottest in the bar. then, i'd be getting kisses on my cheek from hot boys all the time. well, he was! sometimes, i *do* wish i were single.

today, i packed. cursed the...

warning: extremely boring journal entery.


a few things (i might as well do point form, as nothing interesting or detailed has happened)

1. i want to buy a digital camera to go with me to quebec. want to spend $400-$500 max, though $400 would be ideal... any suggestions?

2. work is work. nothing exciting. EXCEPT, i baked the BEST tea biscuits EVER last night. (see?...

I second the Henry's advice.. You might also want to check out this site:

http://www.dpreview.com/

My digi's are both a couple years old now (A40 point n shoot, and D30 dSLR), but they're both Canon's and I love them to pieces. So, my recomendation would be to walk into Henry's, find the Canon that's closest to your budget, and make sure to leave enough money to get a decently sized CF-card (because the one that comes with it will probably hold like 10 images).

Also, when I bought my A40 I found a place online that sells them for super cheap, and then got Black's to pricematch it. I saved quite a bit of money. I recommend the below site for the cheapness. Just print off the page(s) and bring 'em with you.
