I have a confession to make. I haven't been all that good with my money. I bought a lot of stuff, paid down some bills, and didn't take into account that I needed rent money until... well, until I hit enough to pay rent. And that's it.
I think that's something I need to work on as soon as I am done school; I need to start learning to SAVE money... though I have bought everything I wanted at all lately. I can't possibly want for more, can I?
Anyway, other than that, I am making cupcakes.





... I feel like I ate more batter than I used in the cupcakes... tasty though :D

I feel really old today. It's probably an accumulation of things; this was one of them:

It's missing a pill, too; I ran out of one-a-day vitamins...
Yeah. I'm old. So very, very old. And I'm only just 22.
Crap.

On another note, I bought a kobo. Mostly because I'm sick of paying millions of dollars for paper to print my pdfs for school out on and ink to have printing abilities. I kinda dislike it, and when I have more time I'll go into details as to why.

Now, on to the multiple homeworks I have to do, laundry, and then work. Wooh.

So while I was bathing in my bathtub (It wasn't nice, it was necessitous(Is that a word? It should be) I was reading the conditioner bottle that I have here:



And it says: "Apply evenly to hair. Inhale the fresh, revitalizing scent of coconuts. Then rinse. You'll feel so refreshed, not even the dirtiest dishes will get you down."



So... gender role-ifying, much? Not that I care, really... it's just hilarious. Hilarious because I did my dishes BEFORE I washed my hair. I care more about the dirty dishes than my dirty hair. hahahahahahaa...
But seriously. What if a man washed and conditioned his hair with Suave? Does he have to do the dishes, now?

Feb 20/11

Well, it's a Sunday. And guess what!! I've got it off! I started my mom's shirt that was supposed to be for xmas-- it went well, so far, but I can't seem to find the beads for it. That's what happens when I clean. And now I'm cleaning again, because in my sewing room, is the rat cage. Every time I walk by it, I'm just like--man, I should clean that. Eventually I'll make them a new set of sleepy hammocks. They chew them apart like nothing I've ever seen before.
Anyway, now all of the important people know about this:


That's not really my ideal. I'm actually looking at a purple bathing suit, and Darrell might get orange.
I think those will be the colors. Purple, and orange; I like purple, Darrell likes orange. Whee! Anyway, this was just a break for the other half of my glass of wine before I zip back to the rat cage (A.K.A. start it, haha).
yay, it's reading break!

I can now blog from my DSi XL. That's pretty cool in a nerdy way.

I'm pretty sure this is a 'nerdy' post. But I'm late on the uptake as the DSi has been out for a really long time. Still, it's pretty cool that I can write a post up on blogger while I'm anywhere that has an accesible Wi-Fi connection. In other nerdifying news, I also preordered either white or black: my other ordered the opposite of me, so technically i have access to both of them. I'm pretty excited for them to come out as I haven't beaten heart gold yet, but the majority of it all is a reprise of the last gold version so often I feel like I've played it a million times (which I probably have). Also, --hey, the guy who lives below me left his alarm on and it just went off--usually that means it's ten o'clock.
Last night I told my grandparents about the engagement and they were pretty good about it. I tried to call my mum but she was out. I live too far away from them so there's no dinner, much as I would prefer that.

And the bf is still not doing dishes, but my counselor made a good point- if i repeatedly complain that he's not doing it right, then of course he won't want to do it...
That makes sense, i am pretty perfectionistic when it comes to cleaning.

What happens when space does not allow for differences in molecular structure:


And the coolest engagement trade-off ever:



My hand+bf's PS3. Hopefully before next OSAP time I will be able to use this monetarily...
That's right. Ssh!

Feb 9/11 Chocolate Fish

Today I spilled Hot chocolate all over myself while waiting for a bus. It seems that every time I buy hot chocolate, I spill it all over myself. I don't know, maybe it's just my klutz coming out. Anyway, Timmies' coffee, I learned earlier in the year (three times), does NOT stain like the dickens. It leaves a little mark but if you wipe it off (even just with a gloved hand) it will not stain deep brown. Starbucks' coffee, on the other hand, does.
Very much so.


Note both sleeves, as well as the front of the coat. It's also on my right shoulder to my back.
I was wearing a backpack. Please explain how it splashed UNDER my backpack?!
Good thing I needed to wash my coat anyway.
Except now I smell like hot chocolate, and the washer is on so taking a shower is out of the question. And then I ate tuna for lunch, so I smell like a chocolate fish. Mmm.

February 4 2011

Sssh. I have a secret.
It's my birthday. I am planning a good weekend for myself. I am 22 today. (A.K.A. Old). I can no longer get away with saying "What? I'm just partying it up, I'm cool like that, you know, being young and stuff...". I guess relatively I'm still young to someone who's older than I, but still, I feel old a lot and have been for a while now. Especially in the presence of younger kids, like first-years at school.

Today:


Tomorrow:


Sunday:


'Lissa's coming up :D... With Angelo. I guess I had better clean up before then.

February 2, 2011

You know how some days you just want to listen to that music you only listen to occasionally, and you want to clean, and you want to do laundry because you're just THAT sick of it lying on the floor in the bedroom?
Yeah, I had one of those days today.

I did three loads of laundry, picked up stuff off the floor in the front room, kept the kitchen semi-clean (though, the bf DID do the dishes, so I can't claim rights for that one). I then cleaned the rat cage, played with the little guys a bit longer than I usually do, and listened to Adam and the Ants while I was making dinner.
You know, I just like Adam and the Ants occasionally. Through high school I had interest in them on and off. It's like Louis the XIV. Every once in a while, they just make me happy to listen to because it's a punky music. Upbeat, but usually with a serious tone to it. I don't know how else to explain it. I like it, it's not too upper that it's scary, but it's not a downer, either.
