i thought i smelt shit

so its hit the fan.

we need an MD present at our game Sunday. where does one find an MD? i don't know. How much does it cost to hire and MD for the day? i don't know.













im just about done.

silent

i feel like things are getting quiet...maybe a little too quiet. i have to creep everywhere to be sure that i don't get caught.

Yea, first home game on sunday.
yea, im 21 on Monday
yea, im going to hawaii in 14 days....holy shit
yea, im a llama again!!!
no wait..

so i made a terrible biology pun in bio lab yesterday. i didn't mean to it just popped out. i think the group was thoroughly impressed, but i was mortified...punning in bio gaah, i think i may be doomed to become a bio teacher...if the bad puns just pop out like that. man o man.

i could restrain myself i had to correct the grammer on my test we had though. i think i have that disease, the one that makes you a compulsive grammer correcter...grammitis i think its called.

anyway, i didn't stay for the lab...i tried to but it seemed i kept walking out, and one time i was on my bike riding home before i realized that i was skipping my lab (bad llama)

im sad though, my phone is broke so i can't answer it...or i can but there is so much static no one can hear me and i can't hear them...sad eh!?

okay im going to class...and hopefully i won't leave early by accident.

its sensitive

oh boy.

i think ill quit all other things for michelle, and just dance and play games and make her happy. what else can you do when you get news like this.

i think life needs antipsychotic drugs

I dunno where all this hostilitiy is coming from. I can't get a break, or maybe i can maybe i get lots of breaks and then have to get balanced again. i hate this. is this what it takes to be exceptional...mania. Up and Down and touch the ground. im going to burn out soon. really soon, which is bad. i think i have to quit but i can't because i love my job and my work, and im total invested in it. but i don't have the time to do good school and good work. gaah. Seb was online but i didn't say hi. I hope he's better (from the chemical leak thing). I put my knee out again last night, what a terrible night. hurts this morning, its swollen again. i wonder if i should go back to the needle woman, she did real good. And now this self obsesseed post has 20 I's aren't you tired of hearing about I!

lets talk about something else. The growing rift between the humanities and the 'pure' sciences. EJ Pratt wrote, through his "titanic" poem, warnings about the blind commitment to the ability of technology to be the highest human achievement. That those who see technology as the source of solutions for all our problems, unwittingly attribute human characteristics to technology. This happens because of human pride in our accomplishments. We take pride in what we have masterfully created, and project onto it the feeling that you get when someone is proud f you. if technology can feel that joy then it must, at least on some level, be part human. This is comforting, and lulls us, makes us believe it will be okay because ''We have the technology." then we start projecting other human attributes on technological advancements, calling them with human gendered pronouns like he or she, and this leads us to accept them not as invations on human nature but as part and privy to human nature. Problematic? Yes technology does not have human will. In the face of catastrophe it doesnot react with altruism or atavism...it just continues as it was designed. so whats the point? That technology is wonderful and progressive, and helps us in many ways; but it must be coupled with human choice, ethics (even though i have distaste for the word ethics), and judgement. In the end we are the controlling force (aren't we...hmm) and we mustn't so easily abdicate responcibility. So whats this got to do with 'pure' sciences and the Humanities? simply that the two should be brought together, that there should be common learning, there should be respect and understanding that while some energy must go into progressing technology we still need to be aware, no, we still need to be ingrained in a historic, cultural, social and human legacy; there is a past and it is significant and there is a future and it can be beautiful.

Oh life is easy

oh frabjuous day.

i love ACDC i think im going to listen to more of them, like all the time, cause like, they totally make me like super happy.

do you know what else makes me happy, scholarships!!! huzzah!!!

but i have so much work to do n ow...ggasp i can bearly breathe...im drowning in floods already.

okay i'll stop procrastinating... im so happy im on the highway to hell

ps read "titanic" by E J Pratt http://www.library.utoronto.ca/canpoetry/pratt/poem6.htm

and i thought life was easy

so i go to my first day of bio 101 (or 141 as they call it) and the prof asks for a quick pick or what degrees people are in - you know bio, chem, general science, engineering "anyone else?" she inquires with doubt in her eyes. "English," i proudly announce, thinking to my self ha i can read and know the difference between transcription and translation; but boy what a reponce! "English," she smirks as if i'd said vagina, "are you lost?"

uh! how humiliating, you'd think she'd at least be a little tactful in her dismissal of the arts. well anyway then i went to see baby brother cause sometimes that helps, and he tells me biggest brother was on his way to therapy (he just had his ACL reconstructed last week) and he got into the elevator and suddenly his eyes start watering, his nose spews mucous, his vision goes, he thinks he's having a stroke or has already had one; one of his apartment collegues pull him from the elevator and get him onto a balcony...there was a chemical spill in the shaft, the whole building had to be evacuated. except. big brother lives on the 19th floor and as i said he just has his ACL reconstructed so they carried him to the roof and everyone else evacuated. needless to say he didn't make it to therapy. But they left him on the roof they did air lift him out or something. they did his decontamination up there.

crazy huh!

maybe you we're right

hmm maybe people should worry. i'm worried, and in pain, honestly i don't do well with this non-stop lowgrade discomfort. how stupid is that body, get with it (thats what i would tell my body if is read blogs) *sigh* maybe i'll go see a doc and have her poke my tummy and my knee and say there's no connection and then i'll ask for a second opinion and she'll say and you're ugly...just to make my day.

yea rugby starts today...sort of. i think i'll go watch the gents play.

*pause*





wow that was a long tangent... i started this at 3:02 its not 4:31 i forgot i was distracted trying to find out about the game...huh. time to go

why worry?

people worry about me without my consent...grr. i should start carrying a glove and challenging people to duels. "you worry about me will you!" i'll shout, "well i challenge you to a duel" and throw down my glove...then i would dance about and skip off into the night. i think id like to start skipping off more frequently. im allowed to change...or change back. it hink its change back, i used to skip off into the night a great deal. but i suppose thats just me.

anyway im sitting in michelles office posing for the press. yea three level.

goodnight

What a happy birthday dani!

So we went to Rush last evening to celebrate dani's 20th and sherrys vacation and vickys back to school and all that fun stuff. So anyway, its lots of fun dancing on one leg or while sitting. But the two top stories of the evening are as follows in countdown :

Runner up story: the cute boy in black, my favourite dance partner ever. He just danced! It was wonderful, no groping, no sleeziness it was wonderful. So anyway at one point i was sitting to have a break and he was lap dancing i suppose for me, so i stole his belt, how foxy. Sadly this story is not as good as it could have been cause i put the belt on and later while we were dancing he stole it back (rats) so im a bit of a failure; but he was such a nice dancer and held my leg so i wouldn't have to hold it up myself and we just danced like loons.

Grand prize winning story: Danielle to the rescue is the title. So Sherrie always manages to get these creeepy boys who won't go away. A couple times i had interrupted their grose dancing, but he just wouldn't take a hint, so i sent some of black shirt boys friend to get him off her, and still he came back...he was kind of that cat that sits on the porch downstairs, that dani yells at all the time. Anyway D is dancing up a storm as always, and sherrie and stupid boy are up on the stage, so i tell d to go help sherrie. Dani nods at me, leeps onto the stage, dives between sherrie and stupid boy, spins sherrie who promptly gets off the stage now that she is free of stupid boy. D dances with stupid boy for all of three seconds before giving him a friendly shove off and spinning down under the bar off the stage. The whole thing took about 1 and a half minutes. Amazing. And still stupid boy didn't take the hint, but the effort was so valiant and so blatant, and half the bar was watching and pointing and laughing, i guess sherrie is just that hot...granted after we sucessful got stupid boy to buzz off she promptly disappeared with another boy...oh sherrie amour

the most beautifully honest moment of the week

I'm tired of calling you and missing you and dreaming I've slept with you; and i i was just thinking...


i wish more of the world could be so brutally honest. I spoke with a young woman today, did an interview for the research Im supposedly conducting, she's from Rwanda, lived there through the war, through the genocide.

But what do you do, ask, so were you Hutu or Tutsi? or a moderate. Where is your mother now, dead! yikes. But how can you be honest? Damn I'm back to this again. Well at least i know that i only have about a years worth of thoughts, and now we're recycling the old ones, polishing the ugly parts and regurgitating the same debate. Honestly lying about trusting you, wanting to punch you, trying to fight all the rythems inside. bts soon, im glad, i need imput.

peace
