I recently had to answer this question, and I had no idea, so I did what any normal person would do and I did a whole bunch of random online suveys. One proudly proclaimed me to be a "tan giraffe", I may have missed a few days of school in my day, but I was always present on zoo field trips, and I have yet to see a gifaffe of any other colour. I think they just put the tan in to make me feel even more boring. I mean, a giraffe is a cool animal, but does that really say anything? What does being a giraffe mean? that I can eat the leaves off the top branches? Go me.

The next one said I was a duck. What is it about my personality that has announced to all online surveys that I should be the lamest animals ever?

I would even settle for a wharthog, at least they have that Pumba guy promoting them. Even when I lied and answered all of the questions with the "cool" and "popular" answers I still only got a deer. Great, I am the starring character in the only Disney film to seriously scar generations of kids.

I don't know what about this question serioulsy perturbed me, but hours later I am still thinking about it, so to help myself feel better I am putting it out there to find out if any of you can come up with better animals than me, and really unless you get a "beige sloth" I highly doubt it.

On a completely random note, I am going to LA in a few weeks, and while I am so completely overjoyed that the strike seems to be over, I was kind of hoping to get to see some cool picket lines. Oh well.

So I was rewatching "Pictures of You" tonight and it made me think about how I would define myself. But I am not in High School anymore and haven't been for years so I decided not to use the five examples that were given but pick five single words to define who I am right at this moment. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be to just pick single words and not try to explain or define them. Give it a try, it can be very revealing!

Me in 5 Words

Romantic

Sarcastic

Hopeful

Lonely

Silly

So there it is, thats me! I'll bet you feel like you know me lots better now right? ha

I know this is a short one but its finals time and I feel guilty spending too much time blogging when I should be studying. (Guilty, theres another one...man this is hard)

Aside from all of this melancholy I just have to say that I am one week away from being finished schol for the SUMMER and it is currently SNOWING.....what kind of crazy sense does that make?? I already packed away all my winter gear, I guess I was being optimisic but I don't think its too much to expect to not have to wear winter coats on summer vacation. Just a thought...

Looking forward to everyone's 5 words! night

The last question on an English Lit final that I had today was to complete there sentences in regards to you specifically and not other people. (so no wishing for world peace gracie!) 

I think:

I wish:

I dream:

I am:

I thought it was such a good question I decided to post it here to see how everyone else would complete them.

Here are mine

I think: about what other people are thinking more than I should

I wish: (this one was really hard for me to answer to wish for something just for myself and not for anyone else.) that my dad was proud of me.

I dream: about making a difference and writitng a great novel, (maybe combining the two)

I am: glad that this exam is over. (I am sure that this was the answer that came from 90% of my cla$$ If I had to answer it in another context I guess it would be I am: nervous about the future.

I know that these can be really personal but I had to put so much thought into them it seemed like a pity not to share them with anyone. Please let me know what yours are! no judgement.

I am slightly embarassed to say that I have now spent a good portion of the day watching season one of ReGenesis. And I plan to spend the better part of tomorrow watching season 2. All leading up to the season 3 premier tomorrow night, I can't wait, its been like a year since the last episode and I desperately want to find out what happened to everyone. I can't believe how long its been, usually I go crazy when I have to wait two weeks for a new episode. There are so many things about ReGenesis that are great, no comercials, its Canadian, and of course Bob. I don't know what kind of following this show has but as long as it is on I will be a fan. I anyone isnt watching this show, its not too late to catch up. Check out season 2 tomorrow or even just the season 3 premier.

I have recently been complaining about the extended hiatus(hiatuses?) that some of my favourite shows have been put on, but after comparing my exam schedule to my TV schedule I realized that it is a blessing. With the next few weeks free of anything to watch I will be able to fully concentrate on finishing my finals and my degree. Despite the filthy names I have been calling the networks in my head I guess I owe them a thank you, without anything to distract me I might actually get to studying earlier than the day before my exams and that would be a miracle all in itself. I have been given the gift of time and I plan to waste only about half of it.
