trying to install a commenting system... is it working. nope, bad colour.

went to moose jaw to observe youth for a youth ministry practicum assignment... watched kids at the skateboard park and in the movie theatre lobby.

made some carrot muffins for the very first time today. i used to think that i didn't like baking but i actually kind of do. i have made a lot of brownies this past week.

why am i up after two in the morning? i'm not really sure, for some reason i am surfing the net finding useless information.



just a few days prior to the invention of the smiley... :-) the following statement was made:

"17-Sep-82 17:40 Keith Wright at CMU-10A *%&#$ Jokes!
No, no, no! Surely everyone will agree that "&" is the funniest
character on the keyboard. It looks funny (like a jolly fat man
in convulsions of laughter). It sounds funny (say it loud and
fast three times)."


check out www.humanclock.com, it's kind of neat, and at the same time who has this much time on their hands to do this???


"...the journey home...
A reflection on my life...where I've been...where I'm headed..." i found this on a blog as a title, i thought it was kind of neat.


...should go to bed. yeah, sounds like a good idea.

i really really like my tan wool sweater. i think it is my most favourite of all my sweaters, all forty or so that i own. i also really like my light blue cordouroy pants, although they are much bigger on me than they were when i last wore them this spring, perhaps this is a good thing, or perhaps i am just conforming to this world. although i never intended to lose weight, so it's not really my fault.

why do we females always think that thinner is better anyways? why is it that the media can make us conform? why is it that we listen to this world? why don't we just do our own thing? i don't get us. we get mad at the world and at media and at people we don't know for giving us annorexia and then we do it to ourselves.

why do we often define ourselves by a number. 130. is that me? does that say who i am? do you get a mental picture of me when i say that number? am i too fat or am i too thin? why are you thinking of me only in terms of my body? it's just the package, it isn't who i am.

in two hours and twenty minutes i will make my international debut, auditioning for a part in the Christmas musical, unto us is given... for the part of li chow i believe her name is. do i look like a thirty-something chinese woman? i think not. but i think i could pretend. i will be reciting a monologue from douglas coupland's "life after God," the part about doggles, the dog who wore goggles, and squirrelly the squirrell, and clappy the kitten. except i always mess up clappy's part.

talking to myself trying to get this to work...

why is it i always plan to get a lot of work done but actually never get it done? i think that i get more done when i make lists, because i usually forget everything if it's not written down. but if it's written down i still forget it, i just have something to remind me. so i am constantly making lists in order to get anything done and so i go where i am supposed to go. i think maybe i should start saving all these bits of paper and various books that i write all these lists in because i could probably call them art if i packaged them in the right way... maybe i could make a lot of money selling them? hmm... now there is a good idea!

today is a new day.

new bg colour...a few other changes... explorations... does it work?

holly is laughing at me. i don't think that that is very polite. she doesn't think anyone will read this or will care. that is probably true. or maybe some psycho is reading this. that's a little scary.

trying to figure out colours...

hmmmm

trying out different stuff...

today is the start of my blogging... a new adventure, let's see how long i keep this up. i am not too familiar with blogs, so here's hoping this works! :)

what have i been up to today? finished two pages of my scrapbook for the summer, by brockville and gilligan's island pages. i don't have another class for two weeks, so i can work on homework and take breaks and work on my scrapbook. have a few important things to do this week, need to make a to-do list first off so i don't forget anything!
