wow, i haven't updated in a month. i should be less sporadic about my use of livejournal, especially considering that i'm on the internet approximately 23 hours a day. anyway, i have returned from europe, which was great fun and will feature prominently in a soon-to-be-created facebook album. wherever we go, my family consistently manages to bring

It's good that you're optimistic about going back to school, at any rate. I'm personally dreading it.

Do you make good money working at a gas station? I know we've had this discussion before but I have a chipmunk's memory span at best during the summer.

Your word usage always makes me sparkle on the inside. I'm going to start using the word nebulous at every chance I get. Even if it's just to describe something awesome: "Woaaaah, nebulous!"

I miss school so much, it's a little pathetic. Do you just not like your housemates, or is your school itself lame?

I make $8.50 an hour ($1 more than Vermont's minimum wage). I don't know what minimum wage is in Canada or anything, but here that's not so great. If I was actually supporting myself it would suck a lot.

The other day I saw someone use the word "malarkey" on some LJ community, and ever since I've been attempting to slip it into casual conversation.

A malarkey is like a conundrum right? That sounds like quite a malarkey...

Minimum wage in the States is so pathetic! 8.75 is our minimum wage in Ontario. In British Columbia it's like 9.50, and in Alberta it's higher than here as well and they don't have to pay P.S.T. for whatever reason.

As for school, the housemate situation last year really sucked, but it should be remedied by living off campus this year. There's only two other girls who seem pretty cool, and four guys in like a "separate" house. Are you living off campus or in residence?

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/malarkey - it means lies or nonsense, basically.

i don't know if the cost of living is higher in canada (you guys probably have more taxes, at least), but our minimum wage laws are utterly ridiculous. federal minimum wage is $6.55 (it recently increased from $5.85), which is...like working for free, almost.

i live on campus in pretty excellent housing, which definitely makes school more fun. your school situation sounds really lame, and i hope you figure something out to make it work for you. is transferring an option?

i've been reading your LJ but not commenting because i'm lazy. your drawing thing for kspc is super neat, by the way.

and agreed on the "mas sick party" front.
