It's F'in Cold Up Here!!!

I hate the cold! It's REALLY REALLY cold out here. Next year I want to go to somewhere really nice for school... like California. That would certainly be more than decent.

Nyways, now I'm back at school and have so much to catch up on. March is hell month for me... I'm really not looking forward to the start of it. It's going to be bad. Really bad. I just have so much to do... and only one month to do it all. High Stress!! I guess I should apologize in advance if I'm a little edgy this month... just ignore me.

When it's this cold, I really don't feel like getting any work done. I need to get out of my rez, it's mostly cold here but fine in the rest of the school.

HAPPY PANCAKE DAY - I wish I had gotten pancakes today... Maggie's right, the caf really should have sold them!
As for 2mora, happy ash wednesday! - Don't you just love random religious holidays? Okay, I know they aren't random, they have a point, I just don't remember what it was at this time. TTYL

Post From The Train

I’m on the train right now. How exciting! LOL! Of course, I’m too cheap to pay to use the internet here – which I believe is possible, but I don’t even know how… so I am just writing this is Word and planning to post it later. I tried to get some homework done, but I’m sooo sleepy. Just to take this stupid train I had to wake up at 5:30AM. INSANE! I think I’ll make the promise to myself never to take the early train back to school again. Also, I only have a few movies to watch, seeing as how I burned them all for my family and left them at home. All I have left is a French film and Brokeback Mountain. Neither really seem to be peaking my interest at the moment, but it’s a long train ride and we shall see what happens. The guy across from me is really into his movie and has one of those portable DVD players; the guy beside me kinda freaks me cuz is snoring a bit, and the other two men I can see seem to be really into their work. BLAH! Screw work! Okay, I just looked over at one of them and he was looking at me while sipping his coffee like a creapy old guy! LOL! He has got to be at least 45 years old. That’s SO old! This reminds me, I’m getting old… I’ll be 19 in a few months… intense! Thank goodness I don’t have one of the diseases where people don’t live very long… otherwise my life would be almost over. That would totally freak me out!! Luckily, I plan to live til I’m at least 82. Life expectancy says I’ll probably live another year on top of that, but I doubt I really want to be alive if I can’t do anything. If I lose control, I wouldn’t mind death… control is all I need to make me content.

I just realized that since I’m in Word, I could be writing in any language I please. *happy thoughts* I don’t mean to be evil to those who can’t read what I write, but I’m just thinking how nice it would be to actually spell things properly on my Blog, so it all doesn’t come out in gibberish when you try to online-translate it (even once you figured out what language it is in – lol!).

But I don’t really have anything to say right now, I’m not too frustrated with anything… in fact, I’m quite relaxed. Anything I’m angry about could be said easily in English.

Oh! I just thought of something exciting!! Only two more months of school!! YAH!!! Once the first + and a half hellish months are over, I’ll be practically home free too!! After that, I’ll just have 2 more exams, and then I can come home and do whatever the f I want. – Til May when I have to go to work… lol! Thus I really only have like a free day or two… ack!

Nyways, only a few hours to before I am back at school.
BYE! / Au revoir! / Hasta la Vista! / Adiós!

Here's A New One For Ya...

I bet it's not too often you read a blog from the favored sibling. Post of you post about how much you hate your bro/sis b/c everyone seems to like them more. Well, this might open your eyes to the surprising world of the favored sibling. Let me be honest - my grandfather SO likes me more than my bro. That's just the hard cold truth of the matter. Today, as my gparents were leaving after dinner, (yummy chinese food :) ), he said, here Ryan, here is 50$ for getting your licence, congrats. Then he turned to me, here ShanNON, here is 100$ for spending money at school. OMG! My mom hates the way he favors me, and always has, but she didn't say anything this time. After he left, she had to explain that I needed more money b/c I have more expenses - which is true - but it's not likely he thought about that when he gave me 50$ more. It's hard to know why he does these things... For as long as I can remember, he has told me that he was going to buy me a car. He asked me for years what kind I wanted... I always said I wanted a limo - until I learned about super stretch limos and told him I needed one of those. Nyways, soon after I got my licence, I got my first car - which I must say is a pretty sweet car. He never told my bro he was getting a car until my grandmother (just trying to be fair) told him that he was getting one. I grandfather doesn't bring it up much, I know Ry will get one, but I'm pretty sure it will not be as cool as mine. My grandfather thinks my bro will kill the car, even though it's clear to me that he's going to be a far better driver than I am.

In principle, why should I be complaining? I get like whatever I want, and Ry gets half that. I should be the happiest chick around. But I honestly just feel bad for my bro. It's not fair for him - it's just cuz he's a boy. And I'm the perfect little girl. LOL!

An Update...


Friday was lots of fun. Picked up Tacky + Robin, and came to my house. We watched Memoirs of a Geisha - soooo good. Then we went to a 50s style restaurant and had chicken fingers and fries, even though Alice really really wanted a waffle. So, we went to the Pickle Barrel afterwards for her awesome aweful while Robin and I had these ever popular Killer Shakes (strawberry rocks!). Dropped Tacky off at work, drove Robin home, then came home and had pizza with family - let's just say I was going to die. TOOOO MUCH FOOD! lol. No matters.

Oh ya, and while at the Pickle Barrel, Tacky and I saw this teacher we had had in grade eleven. She was actually the one who recognized us! Creepy! Nyways, seeing her disproved a lot of things people had said - rumours aren't always right! Lol, her son was cutish... not the cutest though.

Yesterday I wanted to get work done but my mother made me clean the house with her and go all over town doing chores... evil evil. I got out of a couple of things, but I ended up doing nothing! Ack! I ended up burning I lot of DVDs though!!! *smiles* now people can watch my movies on an actual screen!! - scandelous!

Today, gots to go to church this morning - i'm up freakishly early! I can't believe I have time to post b4 I leave! *shocked* Anyways, seeing as how it's my last day here, I will probably not get anything done again... shame shame.

A Post In English!

Okay, I think I hear my readers loud and clear... you want me to only write in English... right? I will try to make it easier for you guys... I realize that it must be totally weird for you. But to me, it's weird to think that you can't understand it. I don't really understand why it doesn't make sense to you, cuz really, the languages are so close to each other, plus you should remember SOME french - like you only took it for a FEW years!! I'll give you a congratulating hand shake for getting the just of it though.

I understand where you are comming from - why post something online if you don't want people to read it? Well... I do want some people to read it - others not so much... So I'm sorry to those I make suffer b/c they can't read it. In fact, I know only one person who can actually read any of it - YOU ROCK TACKY! I wish everyone that I like could read it - and we could block out everyone else... but that's not possible. In honesty, I wouldn't post something here that I didn't want the world to see, so I guess I like it when people try to figure out what I am saying... even though typing in english, french, and spanish, (and sometimes even italian), can be really confussing. I think I'm trying to keep my thoughts locked up by hiding them in other languages, but secretly I do want you to know what I deal with. There are just certain things I don't feel comfortable saying in English - just incase someone I rant about were to come across this... that would be uncomfortable.

If I didn't have a car - I would die.

yesterday - playdium + shopping - totally rocked
today - homework - totally less cool.

I was kinda planning to get some work done today... yah - things like that don't usually work out. I decided this morning that it was too early to start... then I watch Edward Scissorhand (I think it was a really good movie!!)... then it was lunch time! So, i wasted a lot of time doing nothing. Then I wanted to give my homework a fresh chance to get done... but I got sidetracked by msn. Then picked bro up from school, we picked up some stuff - ick! Then after dinner he took me for a short drive with mom. Lol... I forgot how jerky the car can be when you are first learning to drive. feh.
En Somme, I did like nothing all day... but I did want a day to relax.

Je ne comprends pas porque piensas que tu peut tradurre todo que escribo. Like Seriously! No peudas! Deseo enventar una lingua por mi solo. And of course, those loyal readers I trust and take into confidence. Dans la réalidad, tengo una lingua por mi - il s'appelle franglish. I don't even hablo certain idiomas dans laquelle j'écris. Isn't that just sad! I only know of un lecteur qui comprend presque tous que j'escribo. It must be really hard for anyone to read this paragraph. It's just really messed up!!

Why Did I Ever Think Homework Would Get Done?

Monday was awesome shopping with Alice. Tuesday was awesome shopping with Maggie, Heather & Caitlin. Wednesday has already started out sweetly. I drove my bro to school... then we are going to do lunch. Then I'm going out to play with Jenny1, Sharon & Jenny2. Yah! I honestly can't imagine life being this fun without a car. I adore being home... and love it how everyone wants to do stuff with me... yah for attention!!

Light Switch... I should have known.

I came home last night, after an interesting dinner thingy with family @ my Grandmother's house. I never knew my grandmother would spoil me for Valentines day... alas, every occasion is a good time to buy crap for your grandchildren. Apart from all the candy, plus a t-shirt, she made Ry and I blueberry sundays with whip cream (lol - sundays on sundays). yummy. Anyways, back to my story... the saddest part of the night was when I got home and started to get ready for bed (after a long talk on the phone with Tacky). So I finished getting ready for bed, and I went to turn the light off in the bathroom, and I turned on the fan instead. My bro and I have shared this for years now - it's practically my own bathroom... so you think I would know which switch was the light and which was the fan. I have been away FAR too long!! Ok, maybe I'm reading too much into this, like, it was late, I was tired... it was just an accident. But on the other hand, it should be a habit for me... I should have known which one was the light and which one was the fan. ACK!

In other news - for my first day back home, I'm spending the day in true Shannyn fashion. SHOPPING! And tomorrow, guess what I'm doing... SHOPPING!!! LOL! *Sammy roles his eyes a little and laughs* *Alice jumps up and down cuz she gets to hang out with me today* *Maggie jumps up and down cuz she gets to hang out with me 2mora* *everyone else who reads this wishes I mentioned their names*

Guy's Fantacy

Last night was our post-v-day party. Heather, Ber & I went to Maggie's house after classes and had a Sex in the City Marathon. We vegeted, at cookies, crackers... and my fav: popcorn!! LOL! Ber bought the present she was going to give to her ex, and we had fun with it. Ya! for chocolate body paint! We decorated ourselves and each other, then licked it off. yummy! However, all the guys we told about doing this thought it was totally hot and were dying to come. Sorry - girls only night!

Today I finished my class ... well, for a week at least. lol! My first class wasn't too good... my essay got a really low mark... I just need to remind myself I'm not in high school anymore... crap can no longer get me by.

My second class however, really made my day. When we got back an assignment we had handed in a while back, the teacher pulled me aside - this totally freaked me out cuz I thought it was something bad that I had done, especially when she pulled out my essay and I saw red pen everywhere. Creepy! Nyways, it was actually a good thing. She told me it was fantastic! It showed great critical thinking skills, and she wanted to keep it as an exemplaire to show future students that this was how it should be done. Wow! It really felt great to hear that. Honestly, that's my favorite thing in the whole world to hear. No matter how crappy my day is, if a teacher tells me she likes my work enough to keep it, nothing can ruin the rest of my day. *smiles* I'm SOOO HAPPY!

My bro just called b4 I started to post - He passed (FINALLY!!) I'm proud.

I'll be home by the end of the weekend! Dimanche il faut que j'aille chez la famille de mon père avant que je puis retourner chez moi. Oui - ELLE serait là. Mierdita!!! Cette conne! This last word I learned in french class... it's a pretty bad word (incase your not up on your french swearing: it's lit. a part of a female, but it just means imbicile, or idiot [masculine version is 'con']). Je ne la détest pas vraiment, je suis seulement fatiguer de ses jeux. J'ai réfuser de répondre a sa dernière correo electronico. I can play games too.

Post-Vday Post

Yah! Vday is over! It's okay to wear red and pink again!! Yesterday was so risky... I mean, no pink? Are you serious? The rule of fashion states that all anti-v-day people are not allowed to wear v-day colors that day. Makes sense... but I couldn't let go of my pink shoes... what have they ever done to anyone?!?!?!

Je retourne en cuatro dias. Je suis très content! *excité*
Can't wait to see mon frère - qui j'adore - mais est totalement un imbicile. Je me demande QUI - in their right mind - peut rater le premier examen pour conduire. Seriously!!

Back to mes devoirs. Gotta love homework!

Tuesday, February 14, 2006

Happy Tuesday!

It's not really that I'm Anti-V day, I just would rather it pass me peacefully. I would like to be able to ignore it - but no - the world makes that really quite hard.

My two cents on love are that it doesn't really exist, but if it does - I am simply uncapable of the emotion. I have never really felt it, so I have no proof to support it - but this principal isn't a solid base for my beliefs, since I believe in God, but have no solid proof that he exists.

If love exists, I doubt you can find it at age 18. I'm too young. We are too young.

Marrying for love is a waist of time, at least while marrying for money you can get something out of it!

Party Left Overs

Slept in quite a lot this morning!! The weekend tired me out! After I finally got up and had a shower, the power on one side of my room went out while I was blow drying my hair. This was soooo not cool and totally freaked me out. I personally would bet it had something to do with my neighbour, but I have no proof... i just like to blaim him! Feh. So I got work done b/c I thought I had nothing else to do... then Maggie called and I went over to her house again. Yah for more cake! We also watched Donnie Darko - bunnys are scary - and more olympics! We now have even more metals so they don't just play the same stupid recaps over and over ... how exciting!!

Weekend was fun... but now it's time to buckle down and get to work. If I get a lot done now I can shop more when I'm home...
Everything ALWAYS relates back to shopping!!

Hello. Friday - Simply - Shopping - Cold.

After my french midterm on Friday I met up with Maggie & Heather. Did lunch. Then decided to leave my coat in rez since it wasn't THAT cold out, and the three of us went to really far mall. Spent some time there, met up with Berenika. Shopped some more. Left, froze all the way to back to my rez... damn the cold! Winter seemed to be doing okay up until lately. Nyways, made it back to Maggie's house. Heather did out nails. I have pink flowers on them, Maggie has ladybugs, and Heather has the sky. We watched 'Annie'. The sun WILL come out 2mora! As well as the opening ceremony for the olympics. This last one is really more of a fashion show then anything. Canada's coats weren't that nice... and I really hate the hats. But NOTHING - do I need to repeat 'nothing'? - was worse then Germany's outdfits. GAG!

Woke up at Maggie's house this morning... turned the t.v., but kept it on mute so as not to wake up H & M. Watched skiing, speed skating + hockey... all on the french channel without even knowing it. LOL! Woot for Canada's metal in skiing!!

When they woke up, we spent a while cleaning her house to get ready for Heather's & Ber's bday party. While making cookies I badly burned my thumb and less painfully another fingure. It is going to be really hard to write or do much school work now... what a shame. lol. It really really hurts though! And i'm not saying that to milk pity support from readers!!

Good party. And thanx to Zoe for driving me home!! Ottawa is f'in cold!!

This morning I pulled a super nerdy move by getting up at six something to study. I do think it helped, but we shall see when I get THAT mark back. As for linguistics midterm - 87% ( a pretty decent mark I suppose). My stupid teacher took the longest time to go through the test... I was going to scream. Feh! Nyways, tonight was intesting. I had an early dinner, then quick shower, then got into my pjs and was not really planning to do much else. But then Maggie came by after her midterm (psh... if you can do it in less than 30 mins it's ONLY A QUIZ!) So ya, she and Heather were planning to go out tonight, but b/c I was there, they invited me. At first pub we went to they wanted an I.D. check, even though I wasn't going to drink or eat anything - first of all I don't drink anything, and secondly I had just as dinner. So ya, they turned us down but M + H were kind enough to look for another place so that we could hang out as group. ^.^ thanx. The last place we went to let me in but weren't going to let me order any alcohol - no problem there! So ya, we were there for a little while and I just got back. 2mora = shopping + sleepover @ Maggies!! YAH!

Studying... posting breaks the silence.

Maggie is over right now and we are both studying. lol. Only she gets to do it in English! GAG!! grrr..... damn french! Oh well... my midterm is 2mora morning, so after my blog, i'm going to turn off my computer and study avec elle.

Last night's floor meeting went alright. But I did miss GG. Now I have to wait until the weekend to find out what happened. ARG!

Frustration rains over my roof. Midterms are putting me on the edge. Jumping will be fatal. Don't push me... that's fatal too. Backing down peacefully is also not the best solution. Just got to slowly move foward. Damn the wind... you sway me too much!

Morning Thoughts

Just got out of a midterm... didn't go too badly. Yah for French! lol. The whole morning went more smoothly then I thought. Feh. I still have another class this afternoon... then me gots another f'in floor meeting tonight. How Exciting! GAG! Sadly it's at the worst time ever! Right in the middle of Gilmore Girls! *tears* NOOOOO!!!!! That's totally like my fav. show, and the only thing I really watch... why are they sooo cruel?!?! *bitter*

Only two more midterms this week... then i'm good for the rest of the month! woot!! sweetness.

Super Bowl Weekend... how terribly exciting!

Super Bowl Weekend... GAG! Let's just see how the half time show goes this year... lol!

Nyways, yesterday I spent the day with Heather @ Maggie's place. Maggie promised I would get work done and convinced me to come... but in reality, I made little progress... grrrr! Well, during one really really long study break, Heather & I drew all over Maggie... both her arms and feet and back were pretty much covered. lol. Heather drew this awesome pic of Foamy on Maggie's arm which happily has not started to fade, whereas apparently the rest is got slightly rubbed off on her sheets last night. ha ha.

I did however get enough work done to go with them and the rest of my friends to see "underworld" in theaters last night. Seeing as how I didn't see the first one, and it's not my type of movie, i'd give it a pretty low rating. I don't really suggest that you go see it, even if you liked the first one, since apparently it's not as good.

Today I didn't do much except some work. I got a surprising email de ma tante. C'était le type de questionnaire quand tu dois répondre à les questions à propos de ta vie. Normalement je ne ferais rien, mais une question lui avait demandé qui elle voudrait savoir les réponses de le plus, puis elle a dit YO. Mierda! She's never really done anything like this before! Mis respuestas no son buenas!! Donc, j'ai menti! J'ai renvoyer le stupide questionnaire a ella solo. Les réponeses là ne sont pas les même que j'aurais envoyer mes amis. Pensez-vous qu'elle saurait ceci? C'était très évidant qu'elle était la suelle personne de recevoir le couriel. Can you see through my little game? Is it obvious? I need to know!

My Eventful Life...

The last few days have totally gone by in a flash! Right after my last post (HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY TO ALL! - lol), Maggie came over. We went out for dinner, and saw the same creepy guys who are totally obsessed with their dominoes games as we did the week before. Nyways, we had our dinner... went back to my room and messed around on each other's computers. Then went to Maggie's friend's room and the three of us went to watch some students play a volleyball game. This girl we knew was playing, but sadly I'm pretty sure their team was really loosing. Why is it that the team with the black shirts always do the best?!?! Weird! Nyways, thanx to Maggie and her contacts, I essay was read over by many, which made me feel a lot better about it. As an midnightish snake, we made grilled cheese sandwiches in my common room... where we were talking to this girl who likes beans and maple syrup as a meal, which neither of us had heard of before and found quite odd. I love grilled cheese - any time of the day! Lol. Then, we finally went to sleep after one - soooo late for me... (BTW - I forgot to mention it was a sleepover!)... damn my neighbour for his vibrations from the music he plays... poor maggie who slept on my floor could REALLY feel it! Ack! Well, apparently she didn't sleep too well b/c it was sooo cold and she kept waking up... sad sad.
This morning I woke up and we parted ways for our early classes after breakfast. Classes were painful - as they always are on a friday morning! gag. I don't want to give much details on the following events b/c it has come to my attention that ANYONE could be reading this blog. In vague, I went to the gym and had this desert I have had my eye on for a while. Anyways, once that affair was over, Maggie and Heather called me and we met for some shopping. Woot! For some reason we were looking at dresses... and so we tried them on... lol, that always makes you feel like a princess.

The weekend has started well! - With a few minor issues that I'm ignoring until they blow up in my face. All I have to say is thanks to Maggie & Heather for doing what I could not do... you guys are awesome.

Groundhog Day!

You may not know this about me, but Groundhog day is my most favoritest day of the year! I wish people happy groundhog day all the time! It's just SOOOO exciting!!! I think Phil is the sexiest groundhog of all time! But sadly, there is to be 6 more weeks of winter... boo hoo. This is sad b/c i don't like winter much. I'm frankly getting very bored of it... although my uni tries to think of the randomest snow activities, they seem to be at their end.

HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY!!!!
And don't be too bummed about this news... it's ONLY 6 more weeks...

Dedication To Tacky:

I realize Alice, that you are a busy student at a psychotic school, who happens to be more into sciences than languages... yet, when others who were less busy and who are actually in language studies failed to help me, you totally came to the rescue. So trustworthy a person I have never met before you. Thus, tonight's blog entry is dedicated to your kindness! WOOT!
This picture was probably one of the first or the first we took together. This was gr. 9, wasn't it? Such fond memories... (I think we look cute there! ... and really young!)
YOU ROCK!
LYLAS!
