12:43 pm	You scored as C.G. Jung. You are more of a spiritualist than would be immediately apparent. Some of your notions are questioned by the cynical, but deep down you know the human consciousness is more than the flesh and tissue can account for. You tend to take a scientific observationist look on matters the average person wouldn't even begin to analyze. You personally are responsible for most of the ideas that are floating around in modern psychologist's/psychic's paltry little skulls. On the down side, you tend to be associated with that asshole Freud. </td> C.G.

6:14 pm	Question for all young adults from Ottawa: For those of you who live in Ottawa, and are of the age of voting I have a few questions: - Do you plan to vote for the major elections? - If yes have you been following the elections and the who's running? - What are your opinions/views of the elections? These are open to all opinions/views. I am just curious as to the mindset of my peers. Current Mood: curious (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:53 pm	It's not often that I am able to just...relax. TO sooth my soul, to just forget all that surrounds me and just be. With everything going on around me crumbling, and being all chaotic; to me losing my place in life...well i can just relax. Times change, people change, relationships change. Is it not befitting that with all thats changing in everyone's lifes its the same time nature is changing. one season to another. I mean honestly thats when everything began to change..from early September, to Now the end of October. The 2 months of change. Fall. For me its just, ironic really. Nature is always controlling everything, we just dont realize it. Tuesday is a sabbat for me, a VERY important one. It's one when I am to celebrate the last yr, magick wise, spiritual wise, emotional, physical.  I have been through a lot of change. I mean I graduated from College, applied for jobs and got turned down, met new people, saw old ones, got closer to people I never thought I would, and lost a few people too. And now as the year is ending for me,  some things lay in the balance...I dont know where things are going to go with them, but then..it's the new year soon, and no one knows what's the be expected. I just have to stop panicing, and just let it be. Let all the relationships I have fall as they should; whether they should crumble and die, begin to fix themselves, or if they just soar and bloom. All things can happen, but things happen when and how they should. Friendships die when they were meant to, and ones are meant to be broken in order for things to be fixed and grow.  We all just need to remember we're a part of nature. We're human, and we're animals. Those are facts, neither good nor bad, its just how we are. We make mistakes, whether we should or should know, we act on instinct, we run away from our fears, and sometimes we face them. We do what is wrong, but learn from it when karma takes its tole.  Life goes the way its supposed to, and we all just need to see that. So here's to the new yr. Time for life itself to calm, die for awhile. As it gets colder, and snow falls and stays on the ground, and we put away our costumes and our masks and get out the ribbon, tinsel, wreaths and trees...we will remember whats truly important in the times of darkness that is Winter. And come the Spring, everything will be well again and ready to start over and grow again...So, to ALL THOSE who are having hard times, finding themselves lost, and maybe alone have faith that life will work out. The stress will go away, the issues we have with each other, and the fears we have towards knowing that things are fragile....it will be better soon. (early as it is..)Merry Samhain to All. Ring your bells, wish well to those wyou love and cherrish, remember those who have come and gone before us, and don't eat too much candy!

5:22 pm	Empowerment - Inspiration (this was received as a FWD, and I found it to be too good to just fwd as Spam.) BITCHOLOGY When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a bitch. When I stand up for those I love, they call me a bitch. When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things my own way, they call me a bitch. Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's in my heart. It means I live my life MY way. It means I won't allow anyone to step on me. When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak against it, I am defined as a bitch. The same thing happens when I take time for myself instead of being everyone's maid, or when I act a little selfish. It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won't become anyone else's idea of what they think I "should" be. I am outspoken, opinionated and determined. I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that! So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me. You won't succeed. And if that makes me a bitch , so be it. I embrace the title and am proud to bear it. B - Babe  I - In T - Total C - Control of H - Herself B = Beautiful  I = Intelligent T = Talented C = Charming H = Hell of a Woman B = Beautiful  I = Individual T = That C = Can H = Handle anything "If you can't do something right, get a woman to do it."

10:09 pm	Grease Is the Word I've purchased today an edition of Grease whichis focused on the music and such... And it's funny the movie has lasted as long as it has because as one actress commented "every teenager of any decade can connect with it" and its true. Even those in our age...rememeber it, and KNOW IT. EVEN the words.. I mean honestly gals or guys know this movie (even if the boys dont admit it) and those who dont I GUARANTEE IT if you see it you'll love it. I mean I laugh at how we all know it, but i think now even it had its affect on me. In my seniour yr...my friends and I performed a dance/play i guess u could call it to the Grease Mega Re-Mix. And i remember ALL of thememories, practicing, to my parents picking me up, to the before we performed it in front of ppl at the Holiday Assemply (which oddly had a Boardway theme..lol) Hell I remember auditioning it for Lori and Mrs. Bennett. But lastly, i remember who I did it with and the memories we made after it. (And yes Kaitlin, i do remember performing for the first time in front of Scott..lol...so you can shut up) So..to those who do read this..which is a small few..haha. Kristy darling, i hope life is doing you real well...and even if you werent part of our  "group" you became apart of it through joining us..and you will always have a spot in my heart. Kaitlin..oh darlin'!  YOU WILL...ALWAYS... BE MY SANDY! You took the stage as you always wanted to, but really as my girlfriend there..you always will remain there for me and I you. THANK YOU for giving me memories that I remember more than anything else. Now for those who dont know...hell i dont care..here's who did in some way have a piece in those memories... Sean: You were supposed to direct it..then something happened..and u left..but u started it.. Trevor: You were supposed to be Danny but u chicked out!! :P Kim: you were one of the pink ladies.. Kristy: the 2nd pink Lady. Katie: one of our boys (ok...we ALL knew that was coming) Jess: our manly boy..my "date". Sara: the only real "man" who could pull off Danny and be Kaitlin's equal. And last but never the least..Kaitlin: OUR SANDY Just i wanna say thank you to anyone and everyone who was involved in these memories...i never forget them...and well Sara's sister has a video tape somewhere..and my sister has a video tape somewhere of us performing it (without Kristy sadly) in my basement..lol. So..to all those who may some day read it and who've never seen Grease. GO FOR IT> You will not be mistaken or will you be wasting ure time. And to those who want to smile, get your friends together have a grease party and see who remember the words AND the moves...because Grease is something that will cheer u up, make you laugh and smile..and really...will never go out of style.

11:09 am	Its raining...no its pouring. It's a thunderstorm. And my tent isnt up..and I dont know if its waterproof..and it's currently covered by a tarp as my dad and I were about to get it set up for tonightwhen it started to rain..luckliy the tarp got on first... But I dont know how long it'll rain other than all afternoon till 7ish..but then will that be too late to set it up. I'm supposed to have 4 friends, my bf, and a friend's guy friend spend the night drinking, playing poker in my tent. My mom will not allow us to sleep inside, and although my dad thinks we could put the tent in the front yard, that doesn't seem safe or secure compared to the backyard.... Everything is going wrong, and I can't re-schedule to tomorrow night as everyone has work Sunday morning. Not to mention my bf was gonna spend the night, and I Dont want to reshedule that either!! Plus they've gotta be here as we have plans as a group for tomorrow morning...so... Fuck, i love mother nature and all...and the rain, but this just..isnt fair. I mean yeah, i had time I knew it was going to rain but all the weather network had said i'd be fine till like noonish, so I was setting the tent up earlier...but NOoOoooo things dont work like that. Someone somewhere hates me!! All I can hope is Roch has a waterproof tent that doesn't take hours to set up, adn we just sleep on the front yard...*sigH* (and on top of all that my mom keeps bitching at me about a million things and is taking out whatever issues she has on me) Current Mood: upset (Comment on this)

1:19 am	Arg I am really hating MSN Right now!! Ok I got booted off MSN, DURING A SUPER IMPORTANT CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE i might add...and then I couldn't access hotmail or anything. so obviously it wasn't because of my internet. Found out others were having trouble, but the person I was talking with hasn't logged back on and I'm worried because either they're mad at me or figured "why bother" and won't log on. ARG!!!

11:52 am	I have a new nickname! Ok, so I was talking with Sara and Katie. And well i decided I am quite tired of the Nicki nickname as it goes all the way back to my kindergarden and family calling me it since like I was 4yrs old! And Nic (or Nick) just annoys me as well it's well a guy's nickname. Oh and after going to school for 2 yrs with 2 other Nicoles who were called Nicki and Nikki, it HONESTLY just annoyed me more as I just dont like them. So I am telling everyone the nickname I wanna be called, and so far they are all doing it. It's Nixi. I used it early in highschool but it didn't ever catch on..so...yeah.

10:42 pm	I dont have to have a heart. I want to rip it out of my being and barry it, never to see it again. It does me no good, it makes me weak it makes me incomplete, and all it does is cause pain I dont want. It does me no good. I dont want to see a face when i close myeyes, i dont want to envision possibilities. I dont want it anymore...I dont want to feel, there's no point in it anymore.

Complete set of results Quality Time: 9 Physical Touch: 8 Words of Affirmation: 7 Acts of Service: 5 Receiving Gifts: 1 Information Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

4:21 pm	Bored AGAIN Ok..so....here I am, in the library again. It's now 4:21, about an hour or so to WASTE. I thought for some odd reason that the time difference between 3-5:30 was an hour and a half. Its actually 2 and a half hours! So I called Jason, waited and hoped he'd call...since A) it's something to do if he comes, and B) I do miss him and wanna see him! So I decided to go through what could be worked on...see the whole reason why I'm here after 3pm (which I probably went through earlier) was Draft 7 which is 3 Income Statements (3 yrs..just different figures) and a 1 page Analysis on the findings, results, where did we get the percentages, why did we figure that. ETC. Draft 8 is the executive summary, which has a business letter of introduction, the scope and methods we used, the site summary, supply and demand summary, financial feasibility summary, branding recommendations, and then our FINAL reconmmendations. These things (both Drafts) are due WEDNESDAY. Why are we just now working on ALL that, well Sarah was not at the last class, so we couldn't stay late to work on it, we called her and it turns out she was busy EVERY day 'cept for Friday, which I was working and the other 2 had both work and class. SOOOooo not really possible. I worked on the weekend, and so did the other ones, and Sarah did too so mostly cuz of her late nights, we couldn't. So we figured MONDAY, she's working today till 5:30 so yeah. I mean I do understand that she is having financial problems and all (which I dont think are AS severe as she says they are) so we're stuck doing this late. We can't do it Tuesday as it's TOO last minute, and I work. I'm going to use Tuesday to write the Analysis for Draft 7, I volunteered, all I know is if it comes down to someone doing the letter, someone typing up everything...well yeah, I AM NOT DOING IT. Marissa said (more like REMINDED the group) that since she did most of Draft 6 she'd do almost nothing on Draft 7. NO Problem, I've done MAJORITY of it. But when it comes to Draft 8 (THE FINAL DRAFT) SHE HAS TO WORK. so....her "i dont wanna work" won't go far. EVEN if I just have the percentages I will finish up the Draft 7 at home. I can do that Tuesday if I want to after work. It's just the 8th Draft that we need everyone. And Sarah says we have to get it done, well I agree, however my whole energy to working is gone BYE BYE, as I've been sitting in classes all day, having to wait 'cause she hasn't put this into a priority and done SOMETHING to make time for it, an dwell yeah....She says we'll stay as late as possible. Well I have work at 9am tomorrow, I live in Orleans, its an hour bus ride, and I've been here since 7:30am! I AM NOT staying ANY later than 7pm. I need to be home earlier enough to get ready for work, shower, and get a good night sleep. SHE can deal...I mean she's the project leader and all. Fuck I am just annoyed...here it is now 4:30 an EXACT Hour before we're meeting, and Jason hasn't called either. DEAL was he call from work @ 3ish, or AS SOON AS HE WAS HOME. It's like half anhour at the most from his work. I've left 2 msgs on his home answering machine saying CALL ME. See we had figured we'd talk and he could come here to campus and help me wait, and POSSIBLY stay here while me and the girls did the project, and then we could head home..at least he'd be company for most of the bus ride. so.....yeah. Well I can only bitch so... (Comment on this)
10:32 am	So things with Jason are going great, I'm happy and yeah....I just cant wait till school is over with so I have the ability to stay at his house. With his work schedule, and my work PLUS school there's no way I can stay over. So it's decided after Apr I'll try staying at his place (assuming I have an "ok" from my folks..). Butyeah things are awesome, no more details than that as this time around I'm keeping stuff secret so yeah... Other news: Lise & Shaun sold their house, and they along with Becca will be moving in from May to Sept/October with us. THe plan is to remove everything from the basement (so a lot of my stuff will be moved into my room if possible (the stuff like that I am storing till I move out0 and whatever isn't possible will be put into a permanent storage place (payed for my Lise'n'Shaun) and the pool table will be moved as it can't be taken apart and we barely got it INTO the bsaement in pieces...so....yeah. Um other than that school is OK, having difficulties handling the new arrangement for classes, and well some classes I'm not doing as great in. Law I thought I was doing alright, but I failed the mid-term and the teacher can't say why or what my mistakes were, meerly that I got a 40 and wouldn't be doing the take home case study, instead I do it in class on the last day. Sucks to be me thats for sure. As for HR that starts today, and well I know i'm doing OK if OK in that class, i know I got like a 58% on the midterm which I studied my ass for, but ther ewere so many fucking details and we didn't do any sort of review, well yeah..you can figure that out. Menu Planning'll be fine, i just need to fix what she had issues with, talk about costing so I can price effectively get her advice on a few ideas and get some time to do the final project. And that leaves Projects which is the reason why I'll be on campus till 8pm or such. See we're meeting @5:30pm 'cause Sarah has work till 5pm. And Ihave class till 3pm. And the whole 2 drafts are due Wednesday and I'll need Tuesday for work (till 3pm) and I have to do the 1 page Analysis for it too. So...yeah. Sooo all in all thats whats new. I'm gonna go see if Vero is done her assignment yet so I can go have lunch before our next class which is a lovely total of 12-3! YEAH 3 hours of me falling alseep and wishing I was with Jason! *thumbs up* So..i'm off. BYES Current Mood: bored (Comment on this)
