9/29/2008 PiPi splayedPiPi got splayed today =(
And also got a puppy tooth pulled out at the same time because it wouldn't fall out on its own.
I dropped her off in the morning and my mom went to pick her up in the afternoon.
When I came home and went to see her, she lay still on her blanket (this is unheard of), staring at me through half-closed eyes.
And she keeps shaking and twitching all over.
Apparently the anesthetics have worn off and there are no painkillers assigned to her- she is just left to deal with the pain.
She has never been so quiet and still before.
I don't want to hug her in case it hurts her.
And I don't want to talk to her in case she's sleepy.
So I just sat beside her, stroking her head, for a long time.
A small, cute, soft puppy had to get surgery.
I feel so sad. 9/27/2008 MeI think I'm losing it.
I went through my text messages and I saw all these messages that I've sent to myself while I was out, which are lists of things I have to get around to buying, or movies I wanna watch, or songs I wanna download. (My phone doesn't have a "notepad" function so I have to txt myself).
Some of these lists are from a month ago, and I still haven't done them.
They are just locked in my inbox so I don't accidentally delete them, but what's the point of keeping them if I'm never going to do any of these things?
I mean, who knew that eyelash curler pads are so freakin hard to buy?? I went looking so many times but they don't have the little pads separately- they just have new curlers that come along with a spare rubber pad so that after you use both, you'll have to buy a new curler!
And seriously, I have time to watch old episodes of Friends but I haven't made the effort to watch a few movies I've wanted to watch since a month ago?? I also haven't downloaded a song that I wanted to download last week!
I've read ten novels in the last two weeks but I haven't gotten around to building a sand castle, which I've wanted to do for two years!
I JUST got an email from my mom, who I was talking to downstairs fifteen minutes ago, but my professor hasn't emailed me back for FOUR DAYS.
I still haven't trained PiPi to Heel and, although that is one of the toughest things to train, it's probably because I've only tried once in the last month!
Along with all this crap, I apparently also have serious attitude and insecurity issues that stop me from being close to people.
This is a rant for my future self to look back on.
And hey! Future self! Have you improved???
9/22/2008 Naz's WeddingNaz's wedding was so nice.
It was Sunday, September 21, 2008 at Minoru Chapel, which was surrounded by really pretty scenery for them to take wedding photos.
I wore my black dress with white flowers from Fairweather, with my white 1.5 inch heel sandles.
My hair was curled and I put a silver head"band" with a heart in it, and I also wore a really simple heart-shaped necklace.
I also put on some makeup, but lightly. Farhad didn't even notice I was wearing any makeup until I told him.
But anyway, thus I was pretty confused when we showed up in the parking lot and Golnaz looked at me, stared, then suddenly said, "OMG, Annie?! You're so cute and pretty! ...I didn't recognize you!"
And then Naz said, "Yeah!!! You look so different!! I wouldn't know it was you!"
...I didn't know if I should be flattered, or start worrying about how I normally look.
Soon all the guests started arriving, and everyone there for the wedding was busy running around, introducing and talking...
While I played with the bunnies.
A lot.
They were sooo cute!
Some random people who went to Minoru for a walk brought ziplocks of veggies to feed them.
One person threw a handful of carrots and then left, and Farhad went and picked up some of the carrots so I could feed them to the bunnies.
I held a peice out to a bunny and it hopped up really close to eat and then I poked it on the forehead.
Then it ran away.
After the ceremony, Afra (Golnaz's boyfriend's sister) and I went outside and blew bubbles with the bubble tubes Naz had brought.
Naz and Greg got lots of wedding pictures with bubbles floating around.
Then everyone went to Reception at a country club that was very nice.
Some snacks were set up as Naz and Greg were outside taking pictures, and all the guests had some veggies and cheese and fruit.
It was open bar, but I just had a 7-Up with raspberry syrup and limes. It was pink and swirly everyone asked what it was. Farhad got one exactly like mine because he insisted that he wanted a pink drink.
Golnaz and her boyfriend, Greg's son and his girlfriend, and Farhad and I sat at the head table with Naz and Greg.
We were all kind of shy and waited for each other before we would go sit at the front.
At every table there were mirrors and candles and roses in glass bowls of water filled with plastic ice and a blue light bulb.
All the furniture was draped in soft white cloth, and there were big white lace bows tied across all the chairs.
Everything was pink and silver and white. It was all so elegant and beautiful.
The waiters served glasses of champagne mixed with apple juice and it was sooo yummy.
I didn't know that we were supposed to save them for the toast, so I drank almost all of mine before Golnaz said, "Haha, you're not supposed to drink those yet."
And then when they made the toast I held the glass crooked in hopes that no one would notice how empty it was.
And I also drank Farhad's because I really liked it.
Around 6:30 we had dinner. I was pretty hungry and it was yummy. (Bread buns with butter, salads, rice, fish and chicken).
There was lots of white and red wine going around and everyone was eating
There was live music and dancing
Farhad kept making me dance even though I really didn't want to, and then he started recording so I couldn't be mad at him.
Later, they cut the cake and everyone had a slice before it was back to the dancing.
Near the end they popped a bottle of champagne and the cork flew across the room, hit the ceiling and bounced off the opposite wall.
I was pretty nervous and Farhad and I hid behind the door.
All the girls were complaining about their shoes, and then they started taking their shoes off.
I held out until the end because mine was the shortest heel of all and I didn't want to look like a whimp.
Thus, when it all ended around 10:15 pm (ten hours in heels) I limped back to the car and Farhad wrapped my legs in some blankets because I was cold and in pain. (Oh, the vanity of girls.)
We ended up taking the bubble blowing tubes and one of those bowls of roses and plastic ice and lightbulb because there was so much wine, tea, flower & decor and it was all paid for so Naz kept encouraging everyone to take everything.
On the way back to Burnaby I was really eager to take off my contacts and change into something comfortable.
But of course, there was some sort of accident and it was really slow.
However, it was okay because the full exhuastion didn't hit me until much later.
Today, I woke up at 9:30 am, went back to sleep until 10:30am, and finally crawled out of bed at 11:30 because I was so hungry.
I ate carrot sticks and pizza for breakfast and then read for a little while.
Farhad downloaded a Monopoly game for us to play, but it didn't work so we went and took a nap instead.
We slept for an hour and woke up around 3:30.
We watched Zoolander on the computer while we ate lunch.
He had pizza and coke and I had microwave spaghetti, orange juice and some more carrot sticks.
I also cut his hair.
On the way home, Far took me to where the Lantern Festival was earlier this week near Deer Lake.
I wasn't wearing contacts because my eyes were tired from contacts for the wedding the day before, and I didn't bring my glasses.
So we were walking in the really dark park and I already couldn't see anything.
It was also really cold and the grass was wet and I was wearing flipflops.
We took pictures down by the water, but with flash the camera didn't pick up the lights in the background, and without flash the camera didn't pick up our faces.
So we took 2 pictures, one of each, to match up.
It was still really nice and fun.
And Far kept saying, "There were so many people here the other night for the Festival. Now there is no one but the ghosts."
And when we were leaving he was like "We better go soon before the ghosts get us."
It was really funny because it was so dark.
And we always talk about "spirit juice" lighting up the tiny lights in the cemetary whenever we drive by.
On the way back to the car we walked by the rec center and there were people in there having a meeting.
We thought it was weird because it was 9:30pm on a Monday night.
However, they were all old people.
And Farhad pretended I said "retarded" even though I said "retired".
What an eventful weekend.
Bellingham on Saturday, wedding on Sunday, and recovery + playing on Monday. I do have school tomorrow, however.
Pah.
100 pages to read before class. 9/20/2008 The StatesWent to Bellingham with my mom, dad and sister.
I had to drive there and back *sobs*...
All of our lives were in danger.
I only bought a white crop top!!!
I was just reaching for a white dress when my mom said "Annie, no more white dresses for you."
True, though.
On the way back we went to Baskin Robbins and my dad pretended to not want any ice cream but then he went down and got some himself in the end. 9/17/2008 Books.I made an appointment for PiPi to get splayed...
I feel so sad.
A tiny, soft, cute thing is getting surgery.
Sooo... the Eragon TRILOGY is going to have FOUR books...
...
Anyway, the third book is arriving on the 20th.
And my Percheron Trilogy is "Out For Delivery" as of today.
9/14/2008 School / WorkSchool.
It's only been two weeks.
I'm already thinking of ways to not do assignments and slack off.
...This is going to be a long semester.
On the other hand I am mostly jobless.
Of course that also means that I have no income.
And in a bad combination with having no money, I've recently also been gripped by the crazy need to buy things.
... I should probably find some students.
9/9/2008 Reformat?Is it time to reformat my laptop AGAIN?
*Bangs head on table*
Apparently it's good to reformat your computer at least once a year...
But I'm just thinking of all the things that I will have to re-install.
I will probably procrastinate for another few weeks.
9/5/2008 Em.Meh.
There are too many stores in the States that we don't have here.
Hence, online shopping.
I keep wanting to pick up the training with my dog again, but I'm just too lazy...
Also, it has only been a week and already school is getting in the way of my fun and games. 9/3/2008 SKOOLZEmm, so back to school was both not as bad as I imagined, and more boring than I thought.
Weird.
I get a headache whenever I read my assigned texts.
And also when I clean my room.
I did both today.
So I felt pride, pain, pride, pain...
Mayhaps this is God's way of saying, "Annie, you are just unsuitable for work."
Kind of like how Moses could walk on water.
Except that his subtle hint from God was a little less subtle.
And useful.
What is with this urge to shop all the time?
Am I really morphing into a Shopaholic?
