Reflection...
I think it hits me the most when I come home from school, Scrabble, wherever, and walk upstairs. As I'm ascending, part of me still expects to open my door, and see Fritz waiting for me, meowing for attention, as though I'd done him some serious neglect by letting him lounge around in my room all day ( Read more... ) -
Goodbye, my baby...
Fritz passed away Sunday, February 25, 2007 at 1:13am.
He'll be cremated and his remains returned to me soon.
I miss him so much already... -
My Baby..
When I was young, I wanted my own cat. We had others, that were all quite old, and I wanted a kitten, that was mine. I'd already decided that I wanted an all white cat or an all black cat. Then my friend Katherine got an all black cat, so I particularly wanted a white one. Mom phoned around to a bunch of veterinary hospitals, without my knowing it ( Read more... ) -
Honours Thesis
Looming at the end (I'll most likely put it at the end) of next year is my Honour's Thesis. I'm reasonably overwhelmed by the size of this task and by the fact that I'm convinced I have no idea how to write academically. So far, I've been trying to come up with some very faint ideas as to what I might like to write such a paper about. I figure it's ( Read more... ) -
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!
It's snowing!! It looks so pretty. Since I'm coming down with Paul's cold (thanks, Paul), I'd really love to have a snow day. haha. I know it won't happen. But it would be so nicely timed. :)
Either way, happy to see the snow again!! It makes me warm inside.. and cold on the outside :P -

First Impressions
I've attended the first class of each course now, so let's get to it.
Engl 215: The class format intrigues me. It's the equivalent of Engl 250 at Camosun, and it's not quite what I was expecting. But I think I'm pleased by that?? There's going to be a lot of in-class writing, that doesn't need to be turned in. Idea is just to get you writing. And ( Read more... ) -
Peter
In the fourth grade, Peter came to our class. He was cute and from Australia, so he had an accent to boot. All the girls liked him, and they kept trying to push him and Kirsten together. My interactions with Peter were totally opposite from all the other girls in the class. We had this rivalry going. I'd pinch him, he'd pinch me. I'd kick the chair ( Read more... ) -
Lady in the Water
Okay. After driving past the movie theatre today and seeing that Lady in the Water has been relegated to just one time slot already, I just wanted to voice on my own journal how much I enjoyed the movie ( Read more... )
