I seemed to have lost Number 15 somewhere along the way. It is not in the word doc or in the blog...hmmm
oh well, I will survive. Had a brief chat with Tia today, and I really miss that girl. To think how innocent she was before she moved to Mtl and met me and Linds. Anyway, big THANK YOU to Ferd for the lovely card she sent to me!
Maintenent, je veux manger....moi, j'aime manger tous les temps :) Au Revoir!

I am answering the questions from Bexy for all to see:

1. What book is on your nightstand/in your bag right now?
Some new historical romances from Bexy, the harlequin Diva! I am on holidays remember!

2. Do you/would you eat alone in decent (ie. non-fast food) restaurants? How
do/would you pass the time?

I would like to say yes, but I fear I would probably chicken out! I pass the time by reading and chilling out with people. During school it involves reading texts and notes and “chilling out” in my office, but during holidays I read anything and everything and actually hang out with my friends!!

3. What animal are you most like and why?
Not the biggest animal lover so I don’t know if I should answer this question. Maybe I am like a killer whale, I may seem intimidating but really I like to play!!

4. If you had two weeks off from everything, what would you do?
SLEEP

5. When you go grocery shopping, what do you eat as soon as you unpack it?
Freshly baked baguette

6. How are the drawers in your dresser/bureau/wardrobe organized?
Dresser has Four Drawers: T-shirts, long sleeve shirts, PJ's, skirts (everything else is hung up, socks, undies, and such are in a mini-dresser) On top of the dresser is all my makeup and beauty stuff! In the closet, everything hanging is arranged by colour, blues, greys, blacks, creams and whites, and reds.

7. How old are you? How old do you think you look? Do you still get carded?
I am 22, I look the same as when I graduated from high school yet I don’t get carded! So I really have no idea how old I look.

8. What is the high point of your day so far today? Low point?
High point: re-organizing the kitchen
Low point: realizing how much of my soaps I have missed during the semester

9. In high school, when someone you barely knew asked you to sign their yearbook, what was your all-purpose message? Or did you just refuse?
Something about what a great year it has been and we made it, something cheesy like that, or maybe a comment on how they made it through the year listening to my voice every morning on the announcements

10. What tv show is most realistic to you, in terms of your own life?
Couldn’t really say, don’t watch much tv

11. Describe your favourite outfit currently in your closest.
My new dark brown dress and camel brown boots.

12. If you had to become an illegal drug user (can't quite picture this scenario, but humour me) which one would best suit your personality?
Hmmm, I can’t really say either, maybe pot, just cuz it’s a social drug and I am social

13. What song is stuck in your head right now?
The song from Miss Congeniality, “you want to date me, you want to kiss me…”

14. Which food(s) would you risk offending your host in order to avoid eating?
Any milk products

16. What (if anything) are you superstitious about?
Tons of stuff, like when I knock on wood, I check if it is real wood.

17. What's the most useful class you ever took?
Academic writing

18. What would make you run screaming from an otherwise charming and cool date?
Bad breath or body odour

19. Which highly unlikely future events have you planned out/imagined for yourself?
To be a model for Smart Set, my closet used to be 86% Smart set in High School and I really wanted to model for them. I also used to want to marry this guy I went to school with but then I went to university and moved on!

20. Where is your favourite park, and why is it your favourite?
Carre Saint-Louis. I know it is a sketchy place but I really like it. Especially in the summer when the ice-cream and sorbet place is open and you can just sit there and hang out for ages!

Hope that added some excitement to your afternoon, and by all means feel free to fill this out and post to your blog!

So far time at home has been lovely!! Yesterday, I got up on time for my 8am hair appointment, very necessary! And I got my hair done so I could look presentable at Mel's birthday shebang!! Went bowling, which I have not done in ages, and I had a great time. Meme totally kicked all our asses, but she was such an elegant winner (i.e. no jumping up and down and yelling "in your face" like I would have done). Also, did some major planning with Sio to rock the Big Nickel town this weekend, very excited about that!!
Today, I went crazy domestic and re-organized the kitchen, vacuumed, etc. I always forget what a workout housework is. It makes up for the fact that I left my weights at school. Anyway, must find something to make for dinner! Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays or looking forward to them if they have not begun their holidays yet :)

I am free...thats right free as a...as a.. spiral! funny how vocabulary is the first thing to go after finals are over! Oh well, on saturday, as I handed in my last final paper of the semester, I felt a great weight lifted off my shoulders and onto the poor unsuspecting profs who will be marking all my finals..whahahahha. After that we, Ceci, Rinky and I, got some much some shopping therapy and then we watched MAID IN MANHATTAN. For all of those groaning right now, if you know me you have to admit that is the kind of movie I would go see. I love fairytales, and chick flicks and all that good stuff. So after sniffling through that movie, I had to attend a thank you dinner/party at the grad house. There was much wine and drinks, a bit too much before dinner I reckon, but it was a great time for all. I was harassed by Shannon for not updating my blog, so now I feel obligated to send him personal blog updates if I don't post just to get him off my back. Then on Sunday, I was sick and didn't get much done. So this morning I was running around frantically packing, cleaning my room, and trying to find all my clothes that have been strewn around the apartment during finals. I also watched a bunch of movies yesterday:
THE RAGE Carrie 2: Angry grrls rule!!
Stiff Upper Lip: Funny english comedy about the division of the classes in Colonial times
A Walk to Remember: So cute, I cried and cried. I thought it would suck, you know when teen pop stars try their hand at acting. It is usually not a pretty sight but Mandy Moore was good.
Okay that is all for now, time to enjoy the luxuries of home ie time to raid the fridge.
