8/31/2008 It's the Final Countdown (Venus, Venus)I spent $40 on some liptint.
I really wanted it, but I felt really really guilty as I was paying because it's sooo wasteful.
The downside to carrying my Puma tote around is that I luv it a lot and I'm scared it'll get scratched because I'm such a klutz and I keep bumping into and scraping against everything.
And finally the countdown has come to this: 1 more day of freedom before school starts. 8/28/2008 Australian corpse + more shoppingHazelle gave me a tiny kangaroo doll when she came back from Australia.
My mom showed it to PiPi, and PiPi fell in love with it.
Or, fell in love with chewing on it.
So I am walking along in our family room when I look down and see a kangaroo's head in my path.
It was really freaky.
Then I see the ripped off tail lying by the door.
And the ragged hat is under the table.
Then in the kitchen I see the body of the poor thing, with no head or tail.
My house is a crime scene.
Went to Queensborough with Chantel.
Took a wrong turn on the way back and were in Surrey for 10 minutes.
I bought 2 tube tops (1 white and 1 purple plaid) from Garage.
And a binder from Wallmart.
I was gonna buy a big pink clear binder that was pretty, but it had no pockets.
And then I looked over and saw these really nice plaid ones.
They were $5, but really cute. So I got one of those instead.
5 more days until school!! 8/27/2008 Back to School shoppingOMG so I finally got a pair of Uggs, after Ariel convinced me that they are totally worth it.
I went to buy them with my mom and she was very encouraging as well.
We also picked my schoolbag (yey!) for September - it is a white and pink Puma tote.
I hesitated at the price tag, but my mom was ultra cool about it because I don't spend much money normally.
And THEN, we both fell for a Juicy Couture Daydreamer bag.
I know I should feel guilty about spending all that money, but I'm sooooo elated.
Money CAN buy happiness, fools.
PiPi and Hammie touched noses.
Then Hammie withdrew and washed his nose.
School in 6 daysI've finally convinced myself that getting a new schoolbag will be good for my performance for the next semester.
Unfortunately that theory fails as soon as I testify it against any other semester where I started with a new bag.
I need a writing partner. Someone else who also wants to lock down time for writing. I am so unmotivated by myself.
My writing frames fleet by like this:
1) Oookay, let's sit down and write something...
2) Shall we (my brain and I) work on the novels, or poetry, or...
3) Watch old episodes of Friends? Ooo la la.
I must go schoolbag shopping.
And also come up with some "smart student" outfits to prolong the moment where my Profs realize I am a slacker.
8/25/2008 End of SummerI don't know how I could be so bored.
There are times when I have plans for the whole week and still everyone is like, "You have no time for me!"
And then there are times like today, when I am completely and utterly lonely.
I keep watching old episodes of Friends.
Oh man, I am actually looking forward to the beginning of school because I see so many pretty schoolbags that I want to buy.
I haven't bought one yet.
Because there are so many that I want!
And also because I don't even need a new schoolbag.
But my excuse is that if I get one, it will suddenly change my personality and make me fall madly in love with going to all my classes and studying.
So according to that theory, I will also need a new binder.
I have not taught my dog anything new for like, two weeks.
I also have not worked on my novels for sooooooo long.
Bored bored bored. 8/18/2008 The Steep Hill of Sperling StationThere is this really, really steep slope in Burnaby right outside of Sperling Station.
I've seen people stop in the middle and rest.
But that's no excuse, so I force myself to get to the top without stopping.
When I reach the top my heart is always pounding fast and I'm breathing hard.
Unfortunately I have to go up and down that slope pretty often.
It is much easier to go down it, although it's uncomfortable because it's so slanted.
And I have a secret fear of losing friction and sliding down whenever I wear my flip flops.
I go shopping sometimes while Farhad is at work, then we meet up at the station when his work is over.
One day I was so tired, and because shopping is much harder than a full time job, Far offered me a piggyback ride up that slope so I wouldn't have to walk it. Unfortunately I am pathetic and I have a hard time hanging onto him whenever he gives me a piggyback ride. (It requires so much arm muscle!) So around halfway I fall off.
Today, although I was not that tired, I was feeling really lazy (even moreso than usual) and said "Give me a piggyback ride up the hill."
He looks at me (this is right after he had told me what a tiring day it had been at work) and hands me his backpack.
I put his backpack on and climb on his back.
It was hilarious.
Sometimes when you really need a lot of strength, you have an insane urge to laugh.
And when you laugh, you shake and lose your grip.
It was like that.
The woman going up the hill in front of us turned so she could walk and stare at us at the same time.
I don't blame her though.
It was a tired looking guy (probably worn out from a day at work) going "*PANT*, *pant*"...
And then a girl on his back who was slipping off and laughing wildly going "Heeheheheheeeheheheeeeeheheheheheee!!!!!!!!"
We stopped twice because 1) I kept slipping and 2) Far was tired.
While we were resting (my arms) he said casually, "look, raspberry bushes."
And then off I went.
He shouted: "The thorns are SHARP, Annie! Be careful, even the tiny branches have lots of-"
Me: "Ow!" I got a few of them and they were pretty yummy actually.
I ate them and lifted my foot while Farhad pulled thorns off the bottom of my flip flops.
Then we continued up the hill.
When we got to the top, I slid off him and started walking along easily saying "wow, I'm not tired at all."
Farhad said: "...*pant*"
We crossed the road jayrunning, except he didn't run and I was pulling him shouting, "Come on!"
But he was pretty beat and I was just tsking him while he was catching his breath.
All jokes aside, I wish I was as healthy as Farhad.
I feel pretty lame sometimes.
I wish I would be fit and healthy without having to try.
Kind of like slugs.
Pew pewThe Clone Wars was really good.
The fact that it's animated made it so much better then the real movies, despite Hayden Christensen's (Anakin Skywalker) cuteness. He was only cute for the first movie anyway.
Before he his arms en legs got chopped off.
Anyway, The Clone Wars was so worth watching! The downside is that I 'm still hearing the "pew pew" sounds of the robot guns in my head days after. But it is a good kind of obsession.
On the other hand, Jack Liu has become my new best friend (I think? More like 酒肉朋友) until September.
Not that any of my friends aren't 酒肉朋友... *SOBS*
It is a friend eat friend world. But I have long since realized that who your best friend is really depends on your schedules. 8/12/2008 Abby Air Show 2008Went to the airshow on Sunday.
Okay, so I was a bit sulky at first because it was too sunny, but it was more fun than I expected.
The Skyhawks paratrooped down with Canadian flags and red smoke to open the airshow.
Then some acrobat planes did loops and twirls and falls which were pretty cool.
A plane landed on a moving truck driving down the runway.
The American Thunderbirds were in F-18s, but all they did was the diamond formation which gets boring after the first 70 times.
The Canadian Snowbirds were the best! Their formations were so neat and they did so many of them in turns and loops and ups and downs and drew pictures with their show smoke. And one of their pictures was a heart which I was anticipating all day long but no one else did. Obviously the airshow knew that the Snowbirds were the best and that's why they kept them till the end. Yey!
I got slightly sunburnt even though I was wearing SPF 45!
Although the areas where I got burnt were places I didn't put sunscreen on.
Like edge of my forehead and the top of my head where my hair was parted (seriously!).
And the tip of my nose. But I put extra sunscreen there because that's the classic spot that gets burnt!
Anyway, I probably should have reapplied the sunscreen after a few hours but I was too lazy.
Farhad got more sunburnt than me because he did not wear sunscreen at all.
Hahahahahahaahahahaha.
8/7/2008 NosebleedsI have had 3 nosebleeds in 2 days.
It is so inconvenient.
I think my blood is quite rude.
It should request an appointment, and I could arrange a date and time based on the flow amount and cause.
I still need to find that perfect dress.
But it is too hot to go shopping.
No, it is just too hot to bus to the mall.
8/6/2008 So I joined FacebookI finally joined Facebook...
I can't believe it.
I only did it because I really really wanted to find Heather.
Well not ONLY because, but it is a big reason.
I was going to post pretty pics and everything, but I got lazy.
8/1/2008 Hello, August 2008So, it's August.
One more month of summer break left.
I am really looking forward to September, I think.
A couple of things will balance out the fact that school is starting.
For example, the third and final book of the Eragon trilogy will be delivered to my door on September 20th. OMG YEY!
Also, season five of The Office is airing at the end of September as well.
Annnnd, this will be my last full semester at school, ever!
The very last semester next January will just be my last 2 courses, so I'm pretty excited.
Unlike highschool, where I didn't grasp the full concept of grad until the very last day's last block ended and I was walking down the hall and I saw the banner that said "0 days left till grad 2005". I was like, "wow, I literally do not have to ever come back here."
I did go back though.
That's generally where I meet my friends from around the neighborhood when we hang out.
But that's voluntary, and happy.
Which is totally unlike highschool.
Ofcourse I still have nightmares where I am taking my provincials, or final exams, or at the principle's office for skipping.
Anyway, so the end of post secondary is coming up in less than a year.
That just leaves the problem of what I am going to do AFTER grad, though.
I mean, all my life I've been struggling to get school over with.
In elementary I was bored and was waiting for highschool, in highschool I hated school and waited for college...
And now, I don't know what I'm waiting for after this is over.
