So what is new in my life.  I haven't had anything life changing happen to me and I am still living a pretty simple teenage life.  But things go on and there is always something to ramble on about and my blog is the perfect place to do it, eventhough i barely ever do, haha.  I realize no one prolly reads this.  Well that is alright but if you do I hope my rambles are somewhat uncanny and amusing.  For if they are I am doing my job, or am I?

It's July and I am 19, I can't believe I am this old.  My birthday went great had a classic filipino feast and then spent the day in Grande Prarie with the girls...I also bought my first official lotto ticket in BC and won ten bucks, talk about luck of the draw (insert sarcastic laughter here).  And with over a month left in summer I can now say that my summer job is somewhat boring (althought it will be a memorable job and time in my life from now on, lol), but alas its a paycheque. 

 
I am getting anticipatory (i realize this isn't really a word, but is that really relevant to the situation?)  for school, the new setting of ritz-ubc should be interesting, and hopefully something happens and places open up in the full film classes that i desperately need.  
 
Also I have a new phase obsession thanks to Christina and Terrisita via Saved by the Bell DVDs.  After all the gloom and violence that was my Godfather/mafia genre phase, its good to get back to the simpler things in life.  The tube dresses and cheesy story lines and my first TV character/actor crush (which brings me back to the summer that I was 7 years old) Zach Morris/Mark-Paul Gosselaar.  Saved by the Bell is quintessential late 80's early 90's pop culture and good times.  Gotta love it!  Cause it's Saved by the Bell!
 
I think its good to go through little obssesions once in a while.  It makes you have something to think about and is a good way to fill up time in those boring summer days.  It's a hobby and makes it easy to build up a gallery of pointless references to use in future conversation. 
 
So yeah that is it.... for now perhaps i will right more often, but I won't promise it.  For if I do the next thing you know it's 2005 and I haven't written diddlysquat.   Happy Trails Y'all.
 
Laters,

AH the life of the university student.....a.ka. me and all the rest of you (you know who you are) out there. I felt like i should really write on this silly webpage....sure no one reads it, but i should at least try to post something. Also as a first year student i should always be in pursuit of new procrastination techniques, and posting something on my website seems like a plan. So what has happened since this summer, when i last posted? I turned 18 which would be exicting had I lived in Alberta. And I worked, and attended the fall fair as per usual. As well I started university, UBC is the place to be and it's right by the sea (rhyming, hehe). It's weird already being here, it seems like yesterday I was walking through the mismatched halls of SPSS, and now there is one more week of class before finals. I only have one final, thanks to arts one and geography being one year classes...I am such a slacker. Besides school though...I live in this place called 5th Shuswap in Totem Park, go REDS (not any affliation with the colour of the UBC engineers, cause bigger is better arts kicks ass....i am going to get hassled for the preceeding comment). Life here is interesting to say the least I could write for hours about how the last 3 months have been, but I shall try to some it up in a few headings:

-'The English' are hilarious (even more so when in groups and trying to skate).
-Roomates are great when they are Kate, (p.s. what's with the peanuts and milk, and bowls of cottage cheese)?
-Katie (not Kate mentioned above) is cute and fairy-like, even though she won't admit to it because she hates being called cute.
-U-Passes are great for random shopping impluses after classes
-The import, and the jock are the queens of Buckingham.
-Glouberman is the king of the one shirt a week-ness....(its still gross, eww)
-Regular movie watching is necessary.

more to come.....

So yeah its been like forever and a day since I posted anything new. A whole school year has been had and I am older, gosh almost 18, july 16th baby. So much has happened, to me, to my friends, to the world...or I think a lot has happened. Alrighty, so what has happened since I last told the world (yeah the internet isn't the whole world, since not everyone has it, but it is called the worldwideweb, eh....yes eh I am canadian by birth right...i am really off track..back to what i was saying) what's on my mind? A lot really happened to me. I went to the T dot (a weird thing to call Toronto in my honest opinion) in October of last year, we had christmas, then I went to Vancouver in March for spring break....the rest of the time was spent completing the Grade 12 in Dawson Creek, working the coffee/donut industry as a Timmy ho (I really need to get a new job), how exicting. Also GRAD 2003 happened recently, which really was all it was cracked up to be, who knew?

Grad was great some advice to future SPSS, and other high school grads:
1. females were flat shoes, heels look great, but they also hurt like a bitch after a night of dancing and standing for pictures
2. males learn how to dance the spaztic seisuresque movements are memorable, but the ladies like men who can dance....wait it doesn't really matter if you learn who to dance as long as you actually dance with the girl you bring instead of making excuses....dancing even bad dancing is good fun.
3. for both sexes, never underestimate the power of a certain clear, judgement clouding, amusing liquid beverage. Because it my cause you to do and say things that are funny, but quite embarassing (i am thinking of fountains, angels, gravel and stairs....yes you should be confused I am rambling)

Continuing on so I am out of school and set up to have a great summer....lets just hope my parents really to take there little vacation in a few...then off the UBC...I think i may start actually writing in this so-called blog*spot more often....oh well. It's getting a little late...so it's time to be bookin' em danno....

.....whoa the pain whoa the pain of it all, "Walking" the silent bringer of pain. Most of the world is unaware of the earth shattering pain that walking can bring to those who aren't careful. I am here to tell you "watch out" you could be headed to work at
Tim Hortons first thing in the morning "walking" and find yourself slipping on the stairs and unable to bend or move. That was what happened to me this morning and now i can't bend or sit for too long. Walking isn' the innocent action that you all know. Ignorance to this fact is how people find themselves braking something or hurting themeselves "Walking". It is the most common cause of accident its not as innocent as you think "be aware" before you stand up and take that first step....

The 5 most common accidents related to walking (These are true things that have happened to me on several occasions):
5. Being hit in the head by projectiles such as frisbees or large rocks (while walking is not solely responsible for this one it plays its part as one of the factors)
4.Tripping on the side of your foot (not over something). Your own feet could cause you to fall and twist your ankle so watch out!
3. Walking into a walls, doorknobs or other obstructions (You may think this is silly, but it does happen)
2. Sliding on slick surfaces, ie. Stairs which are icy (I am a witness to this one)
1. It's just to painful and gruesome to state this accident, but i will tell you one thng it has something to do with walking.

Anyways I am off to sleep and get hopped up on some pain killers that are for my back which I hurt "WALKING"

.....For some (well like the two peeps who visit my silly site), you my be looking at my site's guestbook wondering what in the world is a "Timmy Ho". Is it a ho who is pimped by Timmy? One of the ho's that little Timmy frequents on 8th street. For you non Dawson Creek citizens 8th street is the infamous home of dawson's ho's. For those of you who defined a Timmy Ho as such, it very well is not and a scold you for thinking in such a upsetting perverted manner....(didn't that sound snobby and proper, I was thinking in a posh british accent while typing that piece, wait i am side tracking back to the point.) My Special Edition of Erika's Imaginary Dictionary's definition of the term is:

Timmy Ho: noun ; 1. A server of coffee and other beverages, baked goods, soups and sandwiches; 2. A female worker of the mighty Tim Horton's Chain; 3. One who must be always fresh; Sentence: "The Timmy Ho threw out a pot of coffee after 20 minutes"; Antomyns; Robin's Ho, Country Style Ho, Dunkins Ho (all which are poser names for Timmy Ho's are the shit, the real deal in the always fresh business of donuts and coffee.)

....now that you visitors of my wonderful site know what a Timmy Ho is enlighten your friends with your new knowledge....for Timmy ho's know best

....I don't have any idea of what to say tonight and i haven't written in a long time....so i'll make a list of the...
TOP 6 REASONS WHY "DAWSON CREEK, BC" SHOULD BE CALLED A 'TOWN' NOT A 'CITY'

6. The automobile of choice is a pickup...
5. We have a Joey's Price$mart (whose ever heard of a Joey's?)
4. Tourists only come here because its on the way to Alaska.
3. We have a movie theatre that plays one movie at a time (long after it has been released)
2.The fact that we have no shoestore, musicstore or bookstore.
1. There is nothing here, hence the fact we are called 'MILE ZERO'!

I am sorry this is a stupid entry but I am out of ideas for now......

I am sitting here infront of my computer wondering..."What the hell am I still doing up?"...it's like 2 in the freaking morning and I have to work tommorow morning, why am I not sleeping. I know why because I am fixing this blogspot thing, duh. :p. So what did I do today? Well, I took Tracie shopping. That's what! We had a day on the town frequenting Dawson Creek's lovely town and businesses....and the no existant shopping mecca. She got a Rusty wallet and $19 for her birthday. I hope she enjoys it. Am I even making sense right now? I know not! Again, it's freaking 2:10 in the morning....When I was Shad this would have been a sensible hour, but back in good ol' D.C. I am the only one still up. Sheesh....
Shout out there to anyone how reads this. Do you think I am crazy yet? A little weird? Well, first hi Christina, Tracie, Danielle, Tara. You already know I am bizarre....but not as weird as our foody friend ha Trace? (Christina for you that means the Pop...i hope you can complete that word with -ester-, get it). Anyways, I am going to be shit tired if I don't get to bed....sign my guest book.
