The Naviverse

The days have been rushing past and I've forgotten to slow them down in passing. Things have been forgotten and my only hope is that it wasn't something to important.

A minor recap of the last few days is in order I think. Tuesday was supposed to be much more productive then it ended up being but I was very happy at my ability to go swimming. Later that night (well techincally Wednesday Morning) was wonderful. I sped away at one-thirty bound for Timmy's. It was a warm night and we walked for the sake of walking, my favrote reason. Much went on that night and I recieved a gift, a very dear gift that will find itself well used in the future.

Wednesday continued the trend of activity as I went swimming with Rick, Tim and Derek. Time well spent. The themed quote of the day was, "Just pretend you're drowning". Work ended and an hour long conversation ensued with Ryan. Most enjoyable but the lack of sleep made itself present the next morning.

After sleeping in and then driving at almost top speed, I arrived at a large and expensive house in which, under the command of Tim's mom, I proceeded to help clean much of the house. These tasks included rooting through and organizing the items in two (male) stranger's bathrooms (which reveil a surprising amount about a person), and use a lot of 'orange glo'. The day ended earlier then I had origionally planned so I managed to get some dinner with Ryan, as I was in the area, after purchasing the corset that I need for my next nobilis character. When walking back to my truck from dinner, I realized that I didn't have my keys. After checking a store or two I find that I've locked them in the truck. I am indebted to Ryan and his BCAA card. After this I manage to make it to Wrapped In Gray. The game was intense to say the least. I believe this was the first time I had to convince myself that I was not my character to get myself to stop crying. The next chapter shall be incredable if all goes well. Unfortunatly I had to miss the short "historical" plays that my grade five class were performing that night. *sigh*

Today was a flurry of activity. I spent some of the morning going through Gabe's room and organizing his stuff (such a weird feeling), and then spent the rest of the afternoon gardening. I think I got to know Demeter a little better in these hours, and very much enjoyed the process. I still have dirt in the cracks of my hands that will come out in time. I also managed to become terribly burnt. Thank you timmy for the spray. I may be able to sleep tonight. Tim and Rick had dinner at the wonderful East is East and we, sans Rick, went to a play put on by Tim's old drama and music teachers. It was amazing for the age level. A couple of things made both of us twitch but overall it was wonderful. It was one of those things that I would watch again if only it wasn't the last night tonight.

The future holds work, Star Wars (yes, we're breaking that Cherry), Garou and Beltane.

Many thanks to Mimi and Anthony to their present and future assistance in Flashing Sabre's character.

I'm going to find out how possible sleep is going to be. Lets get this overwith.

Just a random update.

All my marks are up... two B's and a C. The C is in Milton... diappointing but ok because I passed. Oh well. I'll just have to make up for it in the next two semesters. Gra.

So, yesterday I woke up and realized that I did manage to do some damage to my body, though not as much as I expected. My right ankle is unhappy at me, which isn't surprising as I managed to roll it over twice. Ah well, the price I pay for trying to be active. I just wish I didn't have to miss capoeira for it. It shouldn't take too long to heal.

I spent a lot of time 'out' yesterday. I went hunting for garou clothing but finding what I want is harder then it seems. I think I'm going to start visiting second hand stores now as I have much time during the day to do so this week. I bought a couple of books at Phoenix and then went downtown in the hopes of finding people to talk and visit with and ended up reading while eating blood orange Gelato and reading one of the books I bought while basking in the sun.

Mark and I had an amusing meal (including lemon soup for Remy heh) and went to visit Amanda. I think I managed to prove my blondeness a couple of times. One of which was a faulty method of planning in which I double booked myself... again. I need to stop doing that. Went to visit Ryan. Process complete. We watched battle star glactica and I stayed up way passed my bed time.

Now I get to work until 8:30 and then go to a Garou gathering (which I'll be right on time for in gamer standard time). I'm going to miss the sunshine.

Tomorrow, Ritual. So excited. And I'm thinking I'm going to fire on Sunday night. Oh how I miss it. Yet another thing I need to practice.

Yesterday I realized just how many friends I have that read my blog. I think it's weird.

I didn't quite manage to walk that far, but i did get in 17 km's with Simon today. We walked from Lynn Canyon to some place in the British Properties. we started walking at about 3om and finsdhes somwhere near nine. It was a great way to spend to day. Man there were some steep hills. I managed to fall once but I was far from some of the sheer drps that we passed and managed to only scrape up my hands a tiny bit and get a bump on my arm that will eventually turn to a bruse. It was so nice to get back to an area which periodically had no signs of civilization. I'd like to do it again when i'm in better shape.

I have a new hair cut. At the moment my short psudo-bangs are driving me crazy but i think i'll get over it.

Amanda, i think I'm going to invade your house at some point tomorrow (well technically today). I owe you a visit.

Ryan you too. *shut up, shut up*

I think I'll be visiting capoeira too, granting that I'll be able to walk...

Well, this was my consise, disoriented update. there might be a more interesting one later.

Oh, and a fyi, I appoligise for any spelling/syping errors as I'm typing this with my eyes closed. I seem to have my usually *you won't leave me alone so I'm going to get back at you* cyst on my left eye. I't s fine when my contacts are in but i think I need to sleep and make it go away.

I miss peoples. Good morning.

Heh. I had a shoulder-cat. He climbed onto my shoulder and just purred away. He's decided he likes to chew on my hair once in a while, or simply just stand on the top few vertebrae while I sit, hunched over, typing on the computer. I love chiko.

Oh, and drunk people are annoying when you have to pry them off with a crowbar. I was only half joking with the snide comment I made.

Good luck to all those who are doing their last finals.

Well it's over. Well, except one minor thing that I'd forgotten and will do and hand in today or wodens-day.

It must be true. I work better under pressure. I managed to write 4 pages in 3 hours and then 5 pages plus editing and bibliography in 5 hours. Not that I like that much but it seems to work. Now hopefully I'll pass the class. No worries until then.

I've been listening to Nin - Right Where it Belongs on repeat for the last half hour. I can't get tired of the crescendo. It so beautiful. Music is the only thing that can move me no matter what mood I'm in. It can always find the beauty in something and escalate it a hundred times.

My hair will be different in two days. I still don't know if I want an opinion in what he does. Something different would be good.

Swimming with Tim and Rick on Thursday night. I'm excited. I miss swimming and the reflection of myself in a bathing suit will remind me...

There’s that crescendo again.

Pictures are wonderful things. I think I'm going to take my camera to bowling tonight. See if I can get anything pretty. Every once in a while I surprise myself and take a picture that doesn't look completely amateur. Those, with the not as good shots but still have something I like in them are stored in a folder. They're welcome to the public but unless requested for they're a little difficult to get to as they're buried on my computer.

It's time for work again.

At this very moment, I am sitting at Ryan's computer, dressed in a camisole and underwear, wrapped in my cloak. I slept on the couch and woke up after six hours of sleep. I don't know if last night was a progression or not. I was very "good" and kept my distance, with a few small exceptions... It was a good night. I think it's enough to help me get over it, because that's simply what needs to happen. I don't see another option and it somewhat annoys me. Not like I have time anyway...

I had a very wonderful conversation with Mark Reeves. The conversation we had was incredible and lasted an hour longer then it was supposed to. I miss conversations like that. I lately I've been getting to few of them.

I have about five minutes to decide if I'm going to capoeira today. I really want to but my feet are in the process of making new calluses and are still swollen from last night. I don't think it's going to happen. As much as I want to go to the Roda (said "hoda") I don't think it's going to happen today. I think essay writing needs to be dealt with today, unfortunately.

*grumble grumble.... STOMP Stomp stom... "owe my feet!"*

I hope it's sunny tomorrow, that's all I have to say.

Been a bit of an air head today. It sucks. I feel as though ADD has randomly decided that it's a temporary bacterial infection that has decided it's going to infect my brain. Tomorrow I'm hoping I can make it better so I can get more then twenty words on the page. The day was very much not a waist as I got some research done and finished my outline of doom for this stupid essay but it's no where near done and I'm not impressed with that (as it is doubtful that it will be completely finished tomorrow). Me thinks me shall be working on it all day tomorrow with one person to accompany me on my journey, depending on who msg's me first.

My Dragon Con ticket has just been purchased. Soon hotel and entrance things shall be bought. I'm excited. Telling my mom will be fun, but oh well. I'm a big girl (she's going to tear a strip out of me for this I know it). This is going to be a great weekend, I have so much saved up for it, and the tickets we're getting are so much cheaper then we thought they were going to be. Yay, more that I can save for something else.

I need to go fabric shopping soon. Yay for window covers and being able to be in my own room naked! Well that and I've still got the hankering for making clothing. I have finished my cloak. It makes me so happy.

Well, the test of getting over the "older" guy comes tomorrow. We're hanging out and geeking out by playing video games all night. We'll see how I fair.

Yay for capoiera overload tomorrow and the next day. It's going to be wonderful. I need to be re-broken.

East is East is a wonderful place. There is no end to the goodness, even when I have to give some of it away. I enjoyed my company immensely.

The new NiN is being listened to at this very moment, three weeks before its release date. I feel lucky. Love the Niko.

I made Tim blush today. It was a great feeling. I missed ya hun.

Ok, so the procrastination has become ridiculous. Tomorrow is a day of studying Milton and that is all there is to say about it. Fucking dead guy.

I despise the fact that I become creative only when I have no time to take advantage of it. I have been craving sewing and the creation of new cloths since I started procrastinating doing my final English essay and I'm quite certain it will evaporate when the essay is done (though I pray to the gods that it doesn't). I seem to have the same flare with my belief system which is even more aggravating.

And I have no one to blame but myself.

I am defeated and going to bed.

Lo, I am bruised, yet I've realized that I'm much more a sadist than a masochist. Sin city brings out hidden side of people, whether they want it to or not. I got to dance again, which made up for my lack of creativity with my costume (well I only found out I was going the day before) but I will make up for it next month. It was all about 'closer'.

Thank you Mimi for unknowingly keeping me from being late for work this morning and praise whatever God sent her!

Jumping back a day, I miss and love ritual. I like being excited and enjoying my chosen belief-system. Thank you Jen and Piotr, it was wonderful.... 17 days! well 14 now.

I can't wait to start sewing again... only an essay and two exams away... I must finish them before Thursday!

*begins questing and falls asleep mid-stride*

... yeah a four hour long bath will do that to a person... especially one with a fairly good book.

Tomorrow should be interesting... if you can call writing an 10 page essay on Milton's Paradise Lost interesting. Thank the God's for my body bashing Capoiera break that I'll be gettin at 6:30.

I smell cloves, and the rest of the remnents from a day of experimental chai. Wow, that was a long time ago.

'But, soon it will be a time of chance; the role of a die, the selection of a car, the single bullet in the barrel of a gun, though not yet. For now, I take comfort in the confidence I have been given for soon, in that respect, I shall be on my own.'

Tonight, I drove home with an internal monologue. Tonight, I shall cry myself to sleep.

Well, there are only two tests and an essay left to go. The essay will be done on Friday and if not, then by the end of the weekend. So there.

There is too much cream in my tea.

I love the weird looks people give me when I say that the hurt that capoiera brings me after an extended absence from it actually is satisfying. I wonder if they understand the incredible feeling of becoming active after a long period of laziness, the knowledge that I am regaining the healthy status I lost under this 25-30% layer of body fat, the exhilaration of having a goal to overcome instead of continuing to idly do something because it's habit, even when you know there is nothing to be achieved. I think my Leo is showing.

I will be staying away for a while. Once the semester is over (aka tomorrow) and the essays are finished (the end of the weekend), my mom has a bunch of holidays and we're going to unite forces and assault the house with a massive effort of cleaning and painting. It needs to be done and she finally has the time to do it. I will emerge from delta for capoiera, for exams and upon request.

I miss you all and hope to talk to you soon.

Jahyne, we will do the hot chocolate thang soon. Anthony, you are over due, as are you, Rick.

copious.

The last while has been rather awesome and because I just finished eating an apple (basically dinner), I'm going to update a bit.

Yesterday was (well Thrusday) was rushed and sickly. I spent $108.00 on birth-control. I ate sushii by myself. I stressed about an essay, then proceded to begin writing it at around 10pm and didn't stop until 5am. It was quite an adventure and I give great thanks to those who helped keep me away and moderatly distracted so I didn't face-plant onto my keyboard.

Today was amusing. I handed in my essay about twenty mintues late but there wasn't any problems. I really don't know how good the essay is because I've managed to forget most of what was writen once it's been handed in.

Much goodness came after that including an A on my presentation for the class, and 23 out of 25 on the midterm. I also finished the fourth Harry Potter book today while in Milton. That class was a write off for Kyle, Derek and I (whom were all writing essays until the break of dawn this morning).

I also saw Sin City with the gamer possie today. It was very good. There's no other way to explain it really. Very much worth seeing. It's all about the fishnet.

So, I figure I must be stupid. I have a crush, no a thang for a guy who is 12, yes I did say 12, years older then I and I find that rather frustrating. I'm hoping this will pass soon (as I'm quite sure that he is uncomfortable with it as I'm I though more open to it then he).

I'm beginning to forget what a kiss feels like when there is more the simply friendship or lust behind it. Oh woe, oh woe.

I miss capoeira and can't wait to do it on Tuesday. I think I'm going to take more care in stretching my back. I'm in need of Piotr's services.

One essay and two exams until freedom of life, though I have claimed this weekend as my own. The essay will begin Monday.

Fun with Andrea tomorrow. When cloaks attack.
