Defying Gravity!

I haven't updated in a little mostly due to stress. I had both a Psych mid-term (again!!!) and an English essay due today and for the past week or so I've been freaking out about them. I've just finished the midterm and handed in my essay and I'm feeling much more light-hearted. I think I did ok.

Last weekend was really great. Saturday, Ryan and I went to the Ridge and hung around a few of our old haunts like Bobby Sox, a wonderful 50's diner near his old house. We also went looking at all the music stores in Maple Ridge and Abby for drumheads, drumkeys, and other little things Ryan's gotta get to fix his drumset.

Sunday, I went to church with him at The Bridge which is a recent offshoot of Vineyard. I felt very uncomfortable, as usual, but afterward we went for lunch and spent an hour playing CS at the internet cafe near his new-er house. We got "dominated" on the awp maps, but otherwise we rocked.

There's something wrong with my car, yet again, and I need to figure it out soon. It's driving (no pun intended) me nuts!

Having a party this Saturday, piratically themed! w00t. :) Yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me! And all that jazz.

This song gives me so much strength.

THE LAST NIGHT
Skillet

You come to me with your scars on your wrist
you tell me this will be the last night feeling like this
I just came to say goodbye
I didn’t want you to see me cry, I’m fine
But I know it’s a lie

This is the last night you’ll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I’m everywhere you want me to be
The last night you’ll spend alone
I’ll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go
I’m everything
You need me to be

your parents say everything is your fault
But they don’t know you like I know you they don't know you at all

I’m so sick of when they say
It's just a phase, you'll be o.k. you're fine
But I know it's a lie

The night is so long when everything’s wrong
If you give me a chance
I will help you hold on
tonight
tonight

I won’t let you say goodbye
And I’ll be your reason why
the last night away from me
away from me

So, happy thanksgiving, those few (1, I think) who read my blog.

I had a nice weekend. Took about 3 rolls of film (and strangely enough one was 800 which I found in my bag. I've never bought 800 so...don't know where that came from!) at Westminster Abbey in Mission. I'm hoping to get that developed in a couple days.

My job is really stressing me out. I have an 8 1/2 shift on Thursday that's just been driving me insane with worry these past few days. My first shift was horrible. They put me on cash with no training and no trainer for 8 hours. Nice. >_<

I've done fairly well in all my projects at school, 85 in English, 99 in Spanish, and 88 in Psych. I'm quite pleased with my performance so far. *shrugs*

Skillet's cd still has not arrived at House of James and I'm itching to just download it already! Bah. However this wait has really drawn out the suspense so I'm extra excited. Billy says it's really great so...here's hoping.

It looks at though my brother and my boyfriend may be moving in together. Pretty cool, if you ask me. Halo and LAN parties!!! :)

I find myself missing Mexico so much. It's just this empty space in my heart where something used to be. I can't believe how much I want to go back. I want to recreate and create new memories and see the "friends" I made there, namely my old students.

I hate... so much about the things that you choose to be.

Apparently, for me, getting my life together = anxiety.

I got a job the other day. Orientation is Thursday. I honestly don't want this job. I don't want to work. I really don't. I'm lazy, yeah, and I just don't want to do any work...of any kind. School was fine until I had to do work. Dammit. Since when has life = work? That's dumb. I hate life.

Moving on.

Accomplishments:

beat Halo 2 on Legendary.

YES.

I aced my Psych mid-term. Surprise surprise. Had no idea I was going to.

We picked up Ryan's drumkit from his church and are now storing it at my house. I love his church. His pastor is awesome possum.

Oh! New Skillet cd Comatose comes out TOMORROW!!! I've been listening to the single Rebirthing on repeat for many weeks. *griiiiiiiiins*

Also, am thinking of joining MySpace (although it is just a glorified Nexopia) so I can access friends stuff and band goodies. I HATE MySpace, though.

This post has no real substance, I was tired of the piercing one though.
