It's Friday night and I have absolutely no plans. For once I'm not working but everyone else I like is. I invited my sister over to watch Nacho Libre with me, but she's already got plans. Wah. Looks like a night alone at the computer for me. I should clean my apartment at some point because my parents and Middle Sister are coming to Guelph tomorrow to celebrate my birthday, and I suppose I should get things looking half-decent.
Rider still hasn't come home. I have a feeling that she's incredibly pissed off at me and is avoiding me, but I have a terrible habit of getting very paranoid about stuff like this. Maybe she's just studying at the library, or maybe she's been kept up at the lab doing something. Who knows?
[ETA]: She just got home. This should be fun.
Rider: i think this is all blown of proportion! (also, i was at the grad lounge so you know how that goes)... all you had to say to me was i'm talking to so-and-so so i don't know how long i'm going to be and that would've been fine. we don't have to talk every night anyway. it was just that i was really tired and the fact you didn't explain why...
Rider: and i heard you laugh after telling whomever that i needed the phone
Rider: so i thought... well, it doesn't matter
Rider: the point is that it's not that big of a deal, i was just asking.
Me: Okay.
How nice. So I guess that's over. Once, just once, I'd like to have a massive blowout with Rider. Oh well, whatever. I guess it's better that we're not fighting.
And now...
Rider: So you got tonight off?
Me: Yep.
Rider: Nice!
Me: Meh, I'd rather be working. As is, I'm bored as fuck.
Rider: Boo! Nobody's around to go out with?
Me: Nope.
Rider: I'll watch a movie with you in a bit...I just have to do some miscellaneous things first. Up to you.
Me: It doesn't matter to me. Don't distract yourself from your homework for my sake. (read: don't do me any favours.)
Rider: I'm done for the night.
Me: Well if there's something you want to watch, sure.
AGH. Why are all our fights like this?! It's supremely irritating. It's just not how my mind works. How do you go from being completely pissed off one second to all buddy-buddy the next? That's not how I do things. *sigh*
Anyway, here's some memes to take my mind off things.
10 years ago: I was just about to turn 13. I was gawky and had massive glasses and I had just started high school. I joined all the incredibly dorky (but awesome!!) clubs (choir, band, drama, etc) and was reunited with people I hadn't seen in two years since I moved schools (yay,
the_nusia!) and made a bunch of new friends.
5 years ago: I was just about to turn 18. I had just started my OAC year of high school and things were looking up. The year before had been one of the worst of my life, but I had finally patched up some friendships that had been sorely neglected. I was concentrating on having a great last year of high school and on getting good marks so I could get into Guelph.
1 year ago: I was blissfully unaware that plans were in motion that would soon make this past year the very worst of my life. I was about to break up with my girlfriend. Soon after, I would find out on the same day that my BRCA1 test came back negative and that the same girlfriend I'd just broken up with had already found a new boyfriend. But 1 year ago today I was deliriously happy. My girlfriend was coming for my birthday in just over a week, there were big plans to go out, school was going well...life was good. Was.
Yesterday: I went to school, hung out with Ali, went shopping at Value Village for Hallowe'en costumes with Trish and D-Law, came home, got a phone call from Fer, and got into a fight with Rider. Fun times.
Tomorrow: I wil be sleeping in, getting up to do a bit of homework, then my family is coming to take me out for birthday dinner, and then I'm invited to a Hallowe'en party but my costume isn't ready yet and I'd look kind of weird going as Smee without the rest of my Peter Pan cast. So I'll likely just stay in again. Even though Bentron and Laura will kill me as a result.

1. WHAT COLOR ARE YOUR KITCHEN PLATES?
We have an interesting mix of three dinner plate collections. One is plain white with scalloping around the edges, one is white with pink and green flowers around the edge, and one is really ghetto, retro 70s dinnerware that's like green and orange and all sorts of awesome.
2. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW?
Text books don't count, I've just decided, so...I've got The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon, Taming the Beast by Emily Maguire and American Gods by Neil Gaiman on the go right now. Haven't had much time for pleasure reading lately, though...stupid school.
3. WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSE PAD?

Trivial Pursuit and Risk. Yep, I am that much of a geek.

7. FAVORITE COLOR?
Green
8. LEAST FAVORITE COLOR?
Pink
9. HOW MANY RINGS UNTIL YOU ANSWER THE PHONE?

12. DO YOU LIKE TO DRIVE FAST?
A little too fast, I think.
13. DO YOU SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL?
I sleep with...let's see. Two round squishy pillows, a beaver named "Beav", a brown dog that my dad bought from the hospital gift shop the day I was born named "brown puppy", another brown dog my dad bought me from the hospital gift shop when I broke my arm (my second hospital stay since birth) named "Boo-Boo", a pink bear I got from my grandparents when I was born that doesn't have a name, and a stuffed potato from New Brunswick named "Tater".

A high school English and History teacher. *crosses fingers*
19. IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY COLOR HAIR, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Dark, dark brown. I keep trying to dye mine that colour, and it's just not working. I keep getting this red garbage and I'm sick of it. I might just have to suck it up and go to the salon. *sigh*
20. IS THE GLASS HALF FULL OR HALF EMPTY?
Depends what's in the glass.
21. FAVORITE MOVIE?
Love Actually.
22. DO YOU TYPE WITH YOUR FINGERS ON THE RIGHT KEYS?
Always. And I can even do it without looking at the keys. w00t, DIC2a. You were helpful for something, at least.
23. WHAT'S UNDER YOUR BED?
Hmm...lemme look. Books that don't fit on any of my four book cases, a plastic container full of candles and stuff, a cardboard cutout of Harry riding Buckbeak that I've yet to put on my wall, apparently, lots of dust, and some other random stuff like socks.
24. FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH?
Hockey, ftw!
25. YOUR SINGLE BIGGEST INTENSE PAIN?
Myself. Always myself and my stupid brain.
26. PERSON MOST LIKELY TO POST THIS?
Um...maybe Amanda or Danny, depending on how bored they are.

Haha likely no one. I would hope my flisters have better things to do with their Friday nights.

Both! Well, only ketchup on french fries, and then only really thick-cut ones. And only mustard on sandwiches. But both on hamburgers and hot dogs. :)
29. HAMBURGER OR HOT DOG?
Hot dogs.
30. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SEASON?

Munich, Germany
