quotation marks
You scored 61% Sociability and 76% Sophistication!

There is a lot more to you than meets the eye. You certainly get plenty of "action," but you'd be happier if those who lusted after you were more selective. You hate being used as a general intensifier; haven't these people ever heard of underlining? Italics? And yes, you remember the cruel words Mr. Joyce directed at you. But you let none of this get you down; those who abuse you are destined for a "special" reward, sooner or later. You feel particularly warm toward periods, commas, exclamation points, and question marks, and usually wish to have them next to you. Parenthesis can sometimes trouble you.

My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 79% on Sociability

You scored higher than 89% on Sophistication

The Intellectual Origins of the Contemporary West

2005-09-19T20:59:47Z

Turns out my history is actually the philosophy of history and that my philosophy is the history of philosophy, so I'm basically taking the same course. It's kind of sweet because a lot of the readings overlap, but right now we are in the Greek muck hole. It's hard to get past all of the sophists, naturalists, Pre-Socratics, Post-Socratics and various other philosopher who had prefectly valid but long- winded opinions. Classes are definitely in full swing at this point and it seems like I've been here so much longer than a day past 2 weeks! Although the summer-camp feel of frosh week has past, it's still not completely real to me that I'm finally free + independent. My roommate, Meghan, and I get on great and went grocery shopping on Saturday. It feels so nice to take care of myself, like I've been doing for so many years, without the nagging of living with parents. Next weekend is Homecoming aka leave sober friday night and return monday. I'm excited, though more so for the concert, featuring Billy Talent, Metric, The Trews, and Tragically Hip! Plus I'm going to see Broken Social Scene in early October. They're playing on campus, two street away from my res! I would be going to see the Stills, but it's a 19+ show (damn people who are of age!). I thought I would have to go to Toronto or Montreal for concerts, but Kingston's pretty happening. All in all, I'm enjoying uni immensly, but missing everyone back home.

dusting off the old lj

2005-08-28T03:32:10Z

Apparently I have not posted since April. I think this is understandable, what with Soiree, exams, prom, commencement. Then I got a two week vacation to BC and cali. Then work: full time at CHEO. It's pretty good, I get to go in the OR and clinic, collect info from medical records and enter it into research databases. My mother is watching a movie rather loudly in the next room. It goes something like:

"I have been pregnant for two months"
music escalates
"Your bother died like a faggot"
gun shot
"Camile will break your heart"
"She already has"
music climaxes
stuggling sounds
"You've proven you're a coward"
gun shot
girl gasps

Seems very discontinuous. Speaking of my mother, she is currently not speaking to me. This is because I want to split move-in day time in half between her and my father. That is unacceptable, apparently, and my dad should not have any time. Period. Nothing I ever say to her is right, I just end up making her mad at me. I will be so glad to be moved in and away from divorce politics. I will be living in one place, by myself (minus my roommate, who seems very nice). I can shower in the morning, or late at night, or both if I feel like it. I can throw out wilted salad without eating it if I want to. As long as I don't flunk out, it should be paradise. Well, I will go listen to Funeral by The Arcade Fire some more. Now that I finally have my iPod up and running I have to return it and You're a Woman, I'm a Machine by Death from Above 1979 to Ben. I recommed both CDs, but especially Funeral. Every time I listen to it I like it more. Have a good night!

good day for a sick day

2005-04-20T23:41:18Z

Today has been rather excellent. This worries me that tomorrow will be horrid, but you know, I'll take things as they come.

I also got my official letter from CHEO saying that they've hired me blah blah blah. I'm excited about that, maybe this summer won't entail so much standing. Now, however, I have to give my manager the news that I am not going to be working there this summer. That isn't going to be so hot, but I'm sure I'll get over it.

Even better news: I got into Concordia University for a double major in creative writing and english. Yay! Even if I don't end up studying that, I still would like to live in Montreal. So we'll see about that.

I finished a good book today, Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. I recommend it as well as anything else by Neil Gaiman. I haven't read Terry Pratchett, so I can't comment on his stuff. I am also feeling a little better, I think the antibiotics are starting to work. I have been much too headachey still to do any actual work without my skull exploding, so we'll see how that flies with my teachers.

I got chocolate for getting accepted into Concordia. I'm blissful for the moment.

I swear I've never slept so much in my life...

2005-04-16T23:08:41Z

Today is going horribly. My migraine and cold conspired to make me fall asleep after doing only an hour of homework. I slept from 2 to 6. FOUR HOURS and I still feel like I could sleep ten. I hate being sick. I'm screwed over for school. At this rate I will have to skip Monday just to catch up on all the work I've missed. And there are tests in bio and chem this week as well as the lit script due and those damned reading logs I never seem to get around to. Oh well, I mentioned it to Barkley and she said she was just giving me a no mark on them for midterms. At least my lit marks will be okay for April. I keep having strange dreams about universities. I think I'm stressing too much about whether I'll get into Queen's or not, but it's not like I can magically not stress about it. Oh well. I am going to see how much I can get done on my chem lab (due tuesday!) before I fall asleep again.

Peace out

On Thinking

2005-04-11T01:31:55Z

Thinking about things makes me nervous and depressed. Things like the meaning of life and sprirituality.

You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. Though it is generally taken that agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in God, it is possible to be a theist or atheist in addition to an agnostic. Agnostics don't believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof).

Agnosticism is a philosophy that God's existence cannot be proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout believer if he or she does not truly believe.

created with QuizFarm.com

Okay, since I actually consider myself an agnostic, this is reasonable. However, it is sad because I would like to have enough faith to believe in something so much it will bring my black little soul salvation. To truly believe that there is this universal being out there who will make everything all right. Come on, that would be so nice. But apparently that is too easy for me.

You scored as Existentialism. Your life is guided by the concept of Existentialism: You choose the meaning and purpose of your life.

“Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.”

“It is up to you to give [life] a meaning.”

--Jean-Paul Sartre

“It is man's natural sickness to believe that he possesses the Truth.”

This is hilarious. Mostly because I think about that kind of thing a lot. I wish my mind had an off button.

Anyway, I got into Ottawa. That makes three out of six universities that have not frowned at my calculus mark. Yay. My weekend was full of procrastination, more than usual. I did start my ETS summative, though. I even know how I'm going to package it and everything. And I know how I'm going to package my concept piece. It was a good planning weekend. I watched Pretty in Pink tonight. It was cute, but I still root for Duckie. He rocks my world.

Long time no post..

2005-04-07T22:57:55Z

Well, nothing much has happened since I last posted. Well, there was that trip to Italy and Greece, which was AMAZING and one of those landmark things, but.. now nothing is happening. There are no parties, no boys, no nothing to keep me occupied. I have also decided that I don't want to major in anything in university other than Classics, which will get me nowhere. I also have no interest in any job. Ever. Except something I can do while living in Rome that will give me a lot of money so I can afford living expenses. But back to Ottawa... I am lonely, but more than that I feel like no matter what I do in university I will still end up in some crappy dead end job, having to support a kid because my husband left me for a younger woman. I would seriously like to become a nun and live out the rest of my life studying in Vatican City. It would be very serene. And I would discover something that would confirm everyone's faith and be cannonized. Saint Melody. It could work.

I shouldn't feel so good right now. I have so much homework that I haven't started, this is going to be the week of hell. But in one week and two days I will be on a plane for Rome! I tried to watch the Oscars, but realized when I awoke from a commercial break that I was never going to make it. So I have resigned myself to looking up the Garden State Soundtrack, then going to bed. I did indeed watch Garden State yesterday. And I loved it. I think it's the cutest movie with that kind of slow atmosphere (which I love) that I have ever seen. It's also the only movie with that kind of mood that doesn't go from depressing to more depressing. And the music was really good. They played Death Cab for Cutie and the scene was so touching. I like Natalie Portman. Even if she is the Queen of Naboo. I still maintain that she is prettier that Kiera Knightly. I have gotten maybe nine hours of sleep all together this weekend. Being deliriously tired is strangely uplifting. I have been more content than in awhile. A welome respite from cabin fever. Except today at the store, when I had to ask a question about a camera and the lady (who was wearing a green fur coat) said that she wanted to talk to someone who didn't have to ask questions about them. I'm sorry, but EVERYONE in the store asks questions. A camera sale is a collaborative sale. Because it's impossible to keep all the facts about all the different models straight in your head all the time. Anyway, I handed her over to the assistant manager, who also ended up having to ask the Lab Tech a question. Sweet irony. Yep, that's how exciting my weekend has been. Though Friday was pretty eventful. Yesterday I just worked on university stuff. I still need 11 poems. and 10 reading logs. and a script. and a summative. I can't think of all this work. It's too evocative of the long week to come. Check ya later.

Today has been strange. Kind of surreal, weird sounding as that is. Saw my dad for the first time in a week. Which was nice. Him and Steph and I went to the Wendy's/Tim Horton's on Hazeldean. I am sooo full of saturated fats right now. and my brain is so full of bio. I studied for two hours today as prep for my test tomorrow. Hopefully that will go well. Anyway, at Wendy's, who calls my name out, but Kevin Lee..??? He and Kathryn and Eric were there. It's just strange because I haven't talked to them since gr. 8. Then who comes in, but people from the youth group I went to in gr 8 + 9! Crazy! Not the really bitchy people who were probably out smoking up, but the gentle, not-AS-hypocritial people. Like Elliot. Ah Elliot. What a funny guy. He actually looked kind of cute, though I don't know how much the seudo-dred thing works for him. Today I talked to HIM. And by that I mean a very small, pitiful comment in a conversation between him and someone else. It makes me sad to think he probably doesn't ever remember it/me. Ah well. I had a better day today. And now I must make tomorrow a good day by having sleep. Night.

excuse this burst of emo-ness

2005-02-23T03:32:40Z

Have not been sitting right with myself lately, if that makes any sense. I want to be touched and loved. I want to rediscover how soft lips are and I want someone to hold my hand. Though I'm also full of contradictions, since I've always jumped ship at the first sign of trouble in any relationship I've ever had. I want, I want, I want. There's always something I need. Old feelings and habits are trying to surface. Probably just winter and blahness, but still. 14 days left. I will be so glad to get out of this country, if only for a week. I could live somewhere where there was no winter at all. I never feel warm until it gets into the 20s, anyway. Though I suppose if I lived somewhere tropical I would have to deal with all those poisonous creatures and lovely things like that.

Sometimes I wish the world were flat. It would make for a greater adventure.

Suprise, suprise, mel is tired. Well, funny story, Anran, Ben, and I went for pho yesterday after seeing John Akpata (heh). Then Ben left, so we went to Sweet Potato for bubble tea. Which apparently had massive amounts of caffeine in it, proved when I lay awake for two hours, when I COULD HAVE BEEN SLEEPING! I frown at all that wasted rest. My science courses are starting to really pick up. And I have university letters, and my concept piece. There is no time anymore. At some point I have to go get new shoes and a spring coat, to take on my trip. It's in a mere two and a half weeks! It's just too bad I'm losing all that time I could be working on my concept piece.. but meh. I heartily doubt I will regret going. In other news, on friday I had the afternoon off, since my chem teacher decided not to show up, so I went shopping with Susan at rideau. I bought my white belt, which turned out to be reversible and also black, which is AWESOME. Then I went to buy the first Interpol CD, Turn on the Bright Lights, and it was on sale 2/$25. Regularly, it was $26.99. So I saved two bucks AND got a free CD out of it. The only other thing that looked decent and I didn't have was Stars, so I got it, and here I am listening to it. It's really good, though took some time to get used to the two-lead-singers thing. Well, I must go do more bio review.

Well, school today was pointless. There was no lit class, therefore I had two classes. Where we just took notes. mrg. Should have just walked home once I was told the bus was cancelled. Oh well, one more wasted snow/rain/nice weather day. meh. Definitely down with the pasta lately. Had spaghetti tonight and two nights ago. Had wagon-wheel shaped pasta last night. Definitely down with the Italian cuisine. Can't wait to try the real thing. I've been thinking that I should exercise more, I would love to get to a pool once in awhile, but with my schedule and getting home so late and all, I doubt it will happen. I miss the water. Watched The Seven Year Itch last night with my sister. Love Marilyn Monroe. She definitely had it. On a side note, Gotta love random conversations that turn philosophical all of a sudden:

Mel: Isn't it interesting how small things make such a difference? Carbon monoxide has one carbon and one oxygen and it will poison us. But Carbon dioxide, one carbon and two oxygens, is part of cellular respiration and vital to our lives?

Megan: I guess the little things really do matter.

Mel: *laughs and agrees*

Tired Toesies

2005-02-14T02:38:00Z

Tres tired tonight. Megan's thing was fun, but tiring. Though I'm not quite as bad as the sad face below would have you think. Again my magical power of never having detergent or any related substances affect me the next day worked, so that's been good. However, slept in a strange position on Megan's couch and my leg has been asleep all day. So it was revealed to me that apparently someone else likes my choy. I'm going to have to kill her, which makes me sad because although I don't know her, I think she would be nice. I bought new linen for my bed this weekend, to replace the Mickey Mouse sheets that I've had since I was six. Not that I don't love them, but now that my room has carpet and paint on the walls, I think it's a bit of a shame not to go the extra mile. Am excited, because I get to shop for my lamps at Ikea. What a good store. Friday night I went to this terrible slam with Sonia, where we ran into Susan and Jiayi. In the words of Sonia "It was ass". Yep. But last night was fun. Today at work three out of the four of us working got trashed last night. oh man. good times. anyhow, must go give into sleep. On a last note, bought a book on friday, Emma by Austen. Love her, LOVED Pride and Prejudice. Loving this too, so far.

liking the postal service much more than modest mouse. especially the one with the mario sample. anything regarding mario or nintendo flies well with me though. ben, we must play super mario to the postal service some time. and this is better than any death cab for cutie stuff i've heard, though i still like "a lack of colour" a lot. how sad is it to feel bad for soap? cause in my shower the soap holder thingy on the wall is way too close to the showerhead and i swear is dissolves in three or four days. *sigh* it looks to sad, sitting there pooled in water, surrounded my soapy goo. about to vanish forever, not having lived up to its true potential. i know it's just lipids make of saturated fats, but i still feel bad for it all the same. which is probably unhealthy, but whatever. i got ice cream today, saw cheryl at laura secord with my dad and steph. got a sunday with cappuccino biscotti ice cream. was not that good, did not like the texture of the biscotti at all. when i'm in Rome, i must get a real Italian soda. if that's even an authentic Italian thing, or just some name a north-american thought up to make it sound european and sophistocated. hmm. well, school went well today, considering i left lit to walk around with anran for awhile, since ms. barkley is on auditions. bio was kinda interesting, but kinda not since it was just a boring old note. chem was interesting, but ms. smith is being kind of harsh these days. where's the nice teacher i've had so many times before? oh well, hopefully things will mellow and i'll actually start working on all the lit crap i have to do (ie play, reading logs, that thing... oh, the concept piece). meh. tomorrow.

have listened to Antics a few times over now. very good, i recommend it. though still not sure if i like or dislike song four. strange. reminds me of tool. had to get up at 5:30 to shower this morning because i didn't get a chance to yesterday. have been thinking about a certain someone more so today than usual. thought that had calmed down, but apparently not so much. does not help that i now notice every single time he walks by. next i will be measuring the rate of his breathing. stupid, stupid, i know. but how can you make yourself NOT think about someone? my advice is to not go down that road at all, unless you have a shot with the guy, which i don't really, considering i don't really know him. in other good news, i had my first physical with my new doctor today. and i was asked twice if i needed a pap. is there a sign on my forehead that says 'sexually active'? the interesting thing was that the nurse and doctor both acted relieved for me when i said i didn't. which makes me worried that if i ever do need one, they will frown at me. you'd think these days that the Western world could so these sorts of tests without pulling out the Victorian-Christian morals. anyway, have now memorized period five on the periodic table for chemistry. apparently we have to know the whole periodic table. but honestly, molybdenum? technetium? how am i expected to pronounce these, let alone spell them? my stomach is feeling strange. i don't know if i'm really hungry or really full. suppose i will go eat and find out.

Taking a Bio Break

2005-02-07T02:10:30Z

Today has been a piece of crap. yep, lovely-lovely. it started off with me stupidly setting my clock radio an hour ahead last night and not realizing it. so i got up at nine instead of ten today. MRRRRRRRRRM. then there was a huge row at my house, the first one featuring my sister Steph (the perky one). yep, she ended up taking my approach and leaving, going to my mom's *sighs*. I just don't understand how someone can get so upset over church. damn blood-sugar. Plus it's going to be really awkward if i'm always seeking refuge at dad's and she's always running to mom's. eeeee. anyway, that definitely put a damper on my morning, not to mention the ginormous headache i woke up with. damn migraines. my bio thing is taking waaaay longer than it should. and i have yet to start my chem homework. *sighs again*. trying to listen to happy music to make myself feel better, but can't play it loud for fear of a retaliation from my headache. watched Paul McCartney at the half-time of the Super Bowl. he played Drive My Car, Get Back, Live and Let Die, and Hey Jude. Dad, Rose and I sang along to Hey Jude. what a good song. another bright point was a trip to forte's with my dad and stewart and getting really good chocolate. yum. made me feel slightly better. what would i do without chocolate?

Borrowed ben's Modest Mouse CD. so far it's not that impressing. okay, now there's some nice guitar. But his lyrics are mediocre, and this song sounds like a bad red hot chili peppers' tune. The random keyboard-syth thing isn't doing much for it either. meh. the trueness to a mix between the hives and the killers is interesting. anyhow, today was boring, worked from 9:30 to 6. this new MCI program sucks, in that we have zones, and i was in the camera zone, and who buys camera's in february? therefore my hands got very dry and cracked as i dusted the camera area five times over. but i saw julia, who i never work with, which was nice. i think i will enjoy going back to my wonderful, little sunday shift.

Now on a completely different tangent, what makes something deep? deep, what a middle school word. i don't know, my journal isn't very poetic, but then i don't really think i live my life poetically. i pretty much just stumble through it, and maybe that's beautiful, but maybe not. who decides these things? Where is Leonard Cohen when you need him.

Since I'm in such an Interpol state of mind lately, I'll post the lyrics to The Specialist. However, the lyrics are not as good unless heard with the song. The complete package is the best. So go find it, and play it over and over again. I still maintain it'll be one of the best six minute spans of your life.

You make me lose my buttons
Yeah, you make me spit
I don't like my clothes anymore

We're spending time and money
Yeah, you're colder than yourself
Now we're moving now we're taking control

You make me lose my buttons
Oh yeah you make me spit
I don't like my clothes anymore

You take me take me to New Orleans
Yeah you put me to the test
I know what my heart is for

You reach out for a blanket
I say girl you've got something
I love how you wear it

We're spending time and money
Yeah, you're colder than yourself
Now we're moving now we're taking control

Love will get you down

My loves a laboratory
I set all the pets free
So baby, you should sleep with me

I make trips to the bathroom
Yeah my friends all have true grit
I'm speckled like a leopard

Put a lid on Shirley Temple
Yeah you make sleek kills
Yeah you travel, you travel

You park my in your Buick
You sing songs into my lips
I'm speckled like leopard
Just like a leopard

And love will get you down

I love the way that you put me in the big house
I love the way you put me in the big house

If i get there early will it be the right time
Our heaven is just waiting, so put your hand into mine
If I get too surly, will you take that in stride,
Our boat it just there waiting so put your little hand in mine

Speak when you're spoken to
Catch up on your sleep girl
When you wear that body glove
You're acting on initiative
You're spelling out your love
You shouldn't be alone in there
You could be above ground

All I want is to be the very best for you
Oh yeah all I want is to do the very best by you
Oh this time
There's be no live of crime
Don't rain on me tonight

Circle around me now, baby
It will be ok
Because we all go downtown sometimes

Somehow baby, we'll beat this mes
It's the time, fuck, the surface to meet the specialist

And time away from me will get you down

I love the way that you put me in the big house
I love the way you put me in the big house

If i get there early will it be the right time
Our heaven is just waiting, so put your hand into mine
If I get too surly, will you take that in stride,
Our boat it just there waiting so put your little hand in mine

Speak when you're spoken to
Catch up on your sleep girl
When you wear that body glove
You're acting on initiative
You're spelling out your love
You shouldn't be alone in there
You could be above ground

Now even if the music wasn't great, his sentiments about Shirley Temple are enough to make it a good song.

Well, today was fantastic. not only was it friday, but i went shopping with liz before oscars. i spent way too much money, but i bought two tops from garage, an unmentionable for anran and oscars outfit (you owe me), and the new Interpol CD, Antics. The guy at the cash looked at me funny since it was on sale as a 2/$30, but it was only $17, and i didn't want another CD/ want to spend more money. anyway, then we bussed back and got dressed, after embarassing anran by delivering her the purchase. After a boring reception which i left to go find better amusement (though the music was good, jesse), the show started half an hour late. however, that and the technical problems were all made-up for by a certain manson-cover that featured the singer as curtis gothed out in fishnets. BAHAHAH! he doesn't make a bad-looking goth though. anyways, then i saw someone who was alone, and breathed a sigh of relief. meh, anyway, now i have to go to bed because i have to get up and work tomorrow. damn taking a saturday shift, so long... but i will get a lunch break, which i don't get on sundays. anyhow, too many conversations going on right now, so long.

here anran, i'm posting, happy? well, today was very relaxing, and when i say today i mean tonight. had my very last drivers ed in car lesson and got my certificate. came home and ate food that was ready and warm at the same time. i love it when that happens. then there was a brief moment of stress when my mom came home abruptly and said that i was going out with her. my mother take me out? well, she wanted my help with the new TV, lucky me. i went to the mall to pick up invitations for my very-sick middle sister (the perky one). Then i went home and took a long shower and shaved. then i watched the OC. now i'm going to bed, hopefully. anran, now it's time to take that step and go to bed early. you know you want to. lots of sleep to you all.
