Snow snow go away...

So..its like absolutely horrendous outside...feels like subartic weather...I bet if you stood still long enough you would freeze to the spot. Definitely not something I am used to as a southern Alberta girl!! I have shut the blinds in my room because for once I don't want to look outside. It's making me depressed. So since I can no longer run outside I have finally retreated to the gym and that is where I have spent my mornings this weekend. I thought it would be really scary and like...intimidating but just like every other gym everyone is too involved in their workout to pay attention to yours so that helped! So now that I have made myself completely sore ( I cant even cough my abs hurt and my ass is about to fall off..) I am going to finish off today with a grilled cheese sandwhich, a bowl of soup, desperate housewives date and making paper snowflakes! Ciao!

Roomate

This is going to be more of a rant than anything...I am sitting on top of my desk..teehee I dont know why...anyways about my roommate...This is the exact thing I was afraid of ending up with..a bad one! Next time I decide to live in res its going to be with someone I already know or in a bachelor suite...because never again am I going to end up putting up with this!
1. If I am in the kitchen she is in her room, when I am in my room she emerges and quickly gets back into her room to avoid contact with me.
2. She always leaves Thursday afternoon, comes back Monday night so its actually really nice to have the whole place to myself all weekend (this is a benefit and a reward for putting up with her all week)..I can walk around in nothing but my underware!!
3. The only thing she has in the bathroom..I kid you not...is like a bottle of shampoo and a bottle of conditioner and some body wash...she keeps EVERYTHING...including KITCHEN things in her room...Why? I don't know? I've been trying to figure it out ever since I got here!!!!!!!!!
4. I didn't even see her last week,...shes very good at avoiding me.
5. I clean fucking EVERYTHING!!! The shower, the garbage, the cupboards where the garbage is...the stove, the microwave..I bought stuff to clean...I do the cleaning...I buy most of the stuff. We've had a few words about it but nothing positive has come out of it. I have to ask her to buy stuff and she claims that shes not going to buy as much toilet paper as me because shes not here as much...well guess what!! you shit twice as much when you're here!! So next time I buy toilet paper I am going to keep it in my room...along with my frying pan.
So yeah..never again is this res thing happening because I could end up with something worse next time...like a mega dirty person or some one who eats all my food..
Well there is my little rant about my roommate...just to get it all out there in the open that you know..she's a pretty major stress inducer in herself. I realize that she is a private person or whatever....then I ask her this...WHY ARE YOU LIVING IN RES WITH A ROOMMATE?!?!?! This isn't what I wanted at all! I wanted someone who I could like...at least hang out with once and a while or eat supper with or soemthing. Thankgod I have other friends in this building saving my sanity somedays!
It's wierd...the feeling is like..of anger and like tension when I come home but like if we ever talk for a brief moment Im like hey she's not too bad she's a really nice girl etc etc...then as I become more ignored again I get angry so maybe it's me just feeling the tension I dont know...she doesn't seem to care!!!
Well today was actually a good day believe it or not! I worked out at the gym...came home had some oatmeal and a shower...went for a walk in the freezing cold to get a prescription from Shoppers Drug Mart..got a White Chocolate Mocha from Starbucks..came home and sat in the lounge while I did some homework then made tasty baked potato soup!! I was so cold when I came home!! I had just cranked the heat in my place though so it was like walking into a warm blanket that just came out of the dryer...little things...hehhehheh

The Kiss

Well Something you should probably realize at this point in time about me is that Im a complete hopeless romantic and a very emotional person. I cry when people are happy, I cry when people are sad, when I laugh (especially when I laugh), on shows such as TLC's "What Not To Wear" and I develop very intense feelings for a photograph that illustrates passion. I guess its just who I am. Funny though because my mother and grandmother are the same way! They cry when you arrive, cry when you leave...etc.. I think its cute..a little humorous...and definetly a positive attribute...afterall where would we be without emotion?

I can never get tired of this photo...ever. It was taken in 1950, by Robert Doisneau, a French photographer, infront of the Hotel de Ville. I have seen it once before..and then didn't think anything of it really. At our school we had this poster sale thing where you could buy various photos and posters etc and I saw this and my immediate reaction was "I could see this on the wall of my house some day!" So I bought it for a whopping $6...although Im sure its worth much more than that.. It is so random and romantic that it just makes you smile. I love how couples who are truly in love can just block out the rest of the world which happens to be flying by, and focus completely and entirely on that other person. Reminds me a little bit of someone I know.. It makes me wonder though... Are these people just randomly kissing? Are they saying goodbye or hello? If it's goodbye I hope its not for the last time...hopefully he's just heading off to work or something...I would love it if they were just walking down the street and just felt the urge to kiss...(sigh)...

I know I know but honestly...I have nothing better to do and its a piece of art which I completely love. Robert Doisneau actually has quite a few photographs which I like...I wouldn't mind having a copy of a few more! Such as "Sidelong Glance." His photos all have at least one emotion triggering effect whether it is humor, sadness, joy, love, or anything else for that matter. It's interesting and I wish I could take some kind of art class! Too bad I'm going in for biology however I also am equally if not more so interested in that...Soo owell..its fine for now!! Well that's my Friday night ...hockey game with D.., What Not To Wear, and Robert Doisneau...can you tell Im having fun yet? There are quite a few parties goin on downstairs but seeings how I don't want to show up alone and without really knowing anyone on that floor..at all...it's not exactly like me to just jump into a situation like that..Bed sounds kind of nice anyways at the moment!!

Don't you Wish You were Here?

Today is...Cold, Windy, Snowy, BORING! My friend from home just texted me..."Dont you wish you were in Maui?" My answer to that question is...absolutely. The way I am choosing to see it now however is like this...: I am here to get a career which is going to enable me to one day obtain a substantial amount of money so I can retire there or just vacation there in the near future for a whole winter while everyone here is freezing their butts off.: And that's how it goes. I guess its not that bad though...it could always be worse somehow..like if I had to wait for a bus to take to school or something? So anyways its Friday..I'm 17..and have nothing to do...maybe the gym is sounding kind of fun at the moment though...
