people suck

fock what a day!
So I get to school and hear through the MMAT grapevine that one of our group members has bailed on us. Like, what the hell? Not that it's that big of a loss, but I did plan my assignment workload around this bugger, and hence am a bit choked.
Does he not realise that he should tell people these things instead of avoiding them? (Engineers... where are the social/communication skills? WHERE?)

I tracked him down in the hall and inquired as to whether he was planning to tell me this eventually or just leave me to guess on my own! He looked a bit scared than gave me a nervous nerd giggle (HEH HEH HEH HEH!), then explained that he wanted "to work with the guys instead". (meaning... not girls?!)
I said, "cool" but deep down inside envisioned myself tatooing a big huge PENIS on his flat pimply forehead. Just because I am blonde, female and have a life doesn't mean I'm retarded. I forgot about the stereotypes here at school. The good thing about all of this is that anger MOTIVATES ME! YOU HEAR THAT? MOTIVATES!

I'm off to kick some ass now...

tanpopo

Last night I was to meet my old friend Shannon at Tanpopo, this kick-ass sushi joint. So I rush downtown to the gay area of Vangroovey (they have a clothing store called GAY-MART!!) at 1122 Davie Street and see that there's a line and no Shannon to speak of. I figure she's late. So I hang around the lineup, watching the joyful people walking by, talking on my cellphone to fit into the Vancouver vibe, feeling like a loser.
Then it comes to me. Maybe she's in the restaurant! Yes! I rush into the restaurant, looking around and still don't see her. Then I realise that the restaurant isn't Japanese at all. It isn't Tanpopo. Shit.
Anyways a few confusing phonecalls later and I arrive at 1122 Denman to a starving Shannon, some all-you-can eat sushi action, and uhhh two bottles of red. We hadn't seen each other in 5 years and had much to talk about; I think Tanpopo understood that when we gongs kept them open well over an hour past close hehe.

Shan lives in North Van and had missed the last 'sea-bus', so we went out in Kitsilano (it was so WEAK on a friday!) then had an old-school slumber party at my place and looked at her Europe Pics.
I think we took this pic around 3:30am... it was all very confusing at the time.

Anyway it's a GORGEOUS day in Van, so I'm going to the gymio, then to Longboat Race training, then some nice homework-doing.
Have a good weekend!

21.9% phat!

So I did something last night instead of my hydro assignment. I got my body composition analysed! Actually it wasn't fun at all. The girl at my new gym measured it all for me. It was all a bit scary.

Anyways, for interest I will share my results as I'm kind of depressed about the whole thing

% lean body mass: 78.2%
% lard: 21.8%
total body water: 39.5L

I didn't want to know my weight but she said I should weigh around 160 pounds! 160! That's heavy man, I am so confused now. Has anyone else gotten it done? Try the online one, I dunno how reliable it is.

Anyways, I have a trainer/nutritionist appointment on Sunday! Before you know it I'll be 100% SOLID LIKE AWWWWNOLD AAAGGGGHHHGGGHHGG!!!!!

Assignment now. I forget after all this time, if an assignment is due on a given day it it due at the class time or the end of the day? Have a good weekend!

too many freaks, not enough circuses

The other day this weird senile long-haired old bum was standing at the foot of the UBC SUB with a shopping cart yelling slogans such as 'power to the people' and 'make love not war' while waving his fist at innocent passersby. hippies are full of crap. I mean, everyone having equal power and love in their lives is a nice castle in the sky and all, but I know that deep down we all are thinking 'Fuck the people, I want the power'. Well, maybe that's just me. But Hippies are still full of crap.

Anyway the SUB at UBC seems to be a popular gathering place for not only hippie-bums, but every noisy, messy student at UBC. Saito and Chris always go there, I'm not really sure why. I didn't think they were noisy or messy. Anyway I had to go there today to get a Traveling student card thingy and it smelled like cheese and garbage, noisy people everywhere, some retard banging on the piano trying to overtake the noise... I just don't know why anyone would succomb to such MADNESS! All the furniture was covered in shit, garbage, ugh. Disgusting.

On that happy note I'll share with you Amber's happy events of the week

Cupcake sent me a lovely parcel! I got really hammered at the Cheeze! SUSHI with Shannon tomorrow! Dinner with my original Vic girls on sunday! Heather's eye-lazering tomorrow! Cupcake's coming soon! Thermo Prof is Away! You're reading my blog!

Man, school life sucks. Miss you kingston!

Inertiatic BC

Alack! the greenery of British Columbia. It always inspires.
It is this greenery combined with my laptop, my mars volta, and a few sour coke bottle candies which bring me to fear that I am becoming an avid thinker; I blame school, I blame sobriety. There are better things to do than think.

But yes, I've been thinking about how in my own mind I am always right. Sometimes I let others believe that they are right, but deep down I think I am always right. Is everyone like this or is it just me?
But today I epiphanied, friends! Yes, I had an ephiphany with my friend Amanda alright.
Sp there we were, having a stoneshow convo about how we were raised to believe that the goals in life are to achieve and to DOMINATE! I epiphanied that maybe these shouldn't be my goals in life. Who wants to dominate when you can follow someone else around who will do the work for you? Who is to say that the dominator is actually dominating and not simply a victim of his dominees' laziness?

Always an inspiration! Go marinate on that! Is ephipanied a word?
Nite all

do at least one thing every day that scares you

I wish I could tell you that I was on wreck beach nekkid with my laptop or travelling with Cupcake on the pro crib tour but that's just not the case. I'm incarcerated folks, in the big house, the joint, the slammer. Actually, it's not a "real" prison however it is my Modelling class and I'm in the Frank Forward building. And quite frankly, FRANK, I think that the Frank Forward building should serve Franks as I'm friggin HUNGRY and beer just isn't doing it for me.

Yeah there's beer here, right across the hall from the computer lab.

Which brings me to my first real complaint about school: I have absolutely no ambition to escape this year. School is Fluffy; it's not scary anymore, the people don't challenge me, I am buzzed and still able to complete my assignment... I don't really know what else to say about this.

MY ROOM IS PURPLE!

MY NEW PAD is nothing but shaweeet! My room is like a big purple grape; instant happiness as soon as I step foot in it.
Paul came over from Vic to help me move in yesterday and we spent the day bummin around Van-towne, getting some shit done, and just catching up. Laurie my roomate is super coolio and layed-back; she's an artsi and likes wine, could be trouble!

SCHOOL was making me super-nervous about seeing everyone at as it had been so long. It was okay, but too many engineering boys and men smell of B.O.! I don't get it. At least my AOE sisters won't smell, we have our first meeting this evenin. I hope I don't smell.


THINGS IN GENERAL are already getting busy and distracting me from thinking about you people who aren't with me. Mikeys might come see me soon. In the meantime I'm feelin mopey and a bit alone... wish you were here with me, it's such a dreary Van day! But a Van day none the less!

shaweet emotion

I never get emotional these days, but man it sucked to say goodbye today. Lucky for Mikey I was too tired at 530am to freak out completely; the complete freakout occured while my plane was hovering over the mountains of Vic. I guess the gorgeousness of it made my eyes all watery (because amber doesn't cry!!). I was so happy to be home and so sad to have lost my cupcake and my friends. But hell I was supposed to leave calgary on Saturday, then it changed to Monday, then to Thursday but I'm a sucker for the Cupper... cuppercake that is hahahha. Are you cringing yet?!!

So I had a lovely last night in Calgary (GONGGG!)- Baci ball with cupcake and Plum, Original Joe's with the gang, and just being with y'all.
Spent this morning bullshitting with dad over too much coffee (wheeeeeee!), and now I just thought I'd drop a line to say hey there.

I find myself thinkin about Gina and Jen and our crazy coffee conferences. Eric, Chris, Kenny and the boys, the parties and music appreciation evenings. Autumn and hersweetness, Ang and her advice, Winter and her wildness .... ahhh to reminisce is A CURSE!

Then I take another sip out of my beerhat, belch wistfully and remember what a hole ON was in comparison to my lovely Saanichton town. Hell, if it weren't for the people in Kingston I don't know that I would've survived. Anyways, dinner calls and I need to refill this dayam hat.
