I want to do...

You know how you always tell yourself you want to do something but then you never get around to it? Well these are some of the things I still want to do... whats on your "to do list?"

1) Travel through Canada. I'd like to go to B.C. and then make my way through Quebec...and finish off in the East Coast. I want to see those blossom trees in P.E.I.

2) Rent a whole bunch of old "classic" movies that I've never seen before, partially just because I'd like to say "I've seen that one" but also because I appreciate things that are original and never been done before. Any recommendations?

3) Go get drunk at the Spoke during the day. Now, I don't know if this concerns some of you, but even my roommate Sarah has been drunk while at school. If you wanna line up with me on St. Patti's day...lets go for a few drinks after class...heck, even before class....just let me know.

4) Return to Greece one day...and finally visit my family there. I went through the islands back in 2001, but I haven't been to my family's place since 1995. I need to go back...and soon.

5) Eat at one of those cute, fancy restaurants on Richmond, either Jambalaya or Blue Ginger. Looks like we're doing Jambalaya for Sarah's bday this Saturday. Yay! Finally.

6) Bands I MUST see: Dave Matthews, U2, and Radiohead. Who are u dying to see?

7) Party in Cancun or Ibiza (looks like us girls will be doing Cancun at the end of the summer..if I can actually save up some $$$).

8) Go see the opera "Madame Butterfly" as well, I really want to go to the ballet. I'd really like to take my mom one night.

9) Visit my piano teacher, Mrs. Robson. Her passion and kind words influenced me...and I melt every time I visit her.

10) Go whitewater rafting. I can just imagine the adrenaline rush right now. Coooool. Has anyone ever been?

The Latest on Annie

Okay, so I thought I'd actually write some stuff on my blog that actually makes some sense to most of you people. Here is a list of my most latest...

• In Toronto for Slack week: February 20th - 27th.
  
• While in Toronto I plan to:
  

1) Visit Mike before he leaves the country

2) Pick out a paint for my new bedroom downstairs in the basement (sky blue? lilac? NOT PINK). Yes...I can't believe I'm moving back home!!!! At least I'm trying to be positive about it (I'm placing myself on a timeline and I'm only allowing myself to be a bum at my parents' place while I complete my field placement till Jan 2006).

3) I don't know what else..just sleep in and be a lazy bum. I'm not bringing any school work with me...cause I really just don't care.

• Celebrating Sarah's completion of the DAT this Saturday night (Feb 19th). We're heading out for beer/wings at 8.
  
• Very excited that "Kinsey" is now playing at Galleria. That is my plan for this Friday night...to get out and see a movie!!!!
  
• Current Paper I'm writing: Nozick's experience machine and hedonism.

• I saw "Ray" tonight with Chris. It wasn't as great of a movie as I thought it would be...however...I'd still say it was a good movie. I didn't realize Ray was such...a bad boy!
  
• Class attendance update: I've been doing really well actually. I haven't been skipping any classes except for my Philosophy of Mind lecture...but its only because presentations are going on...and I don't really care for those.
  
• This is sad...but I heard the Ashlee Simpson song today, "La La" or whatever..and its actually really good. Its been stuck in my head all day. "You make me wanna la la, in the kitchen, on the floor..."
  
• I just realized that I didn't see Sarah (my roomie) for over a day. She left really early for school yesterday morning..and I walked through the door very early this morning. Aww..poonie..I miss u.

I usually have a beer when I go out, however...if I'm not having a beer...I like my vodka martinis (shaken, not stirred). 1/5 oz vodka, and a dash of dry vermouth! Whats your drink?

• A man hasn't been feeling well, so he goes to his doctor for a complete check-up. Afterward, the doctor comes out with the results. "I'm afraid I have some very bad news," the doctor says. "You're dying, and you don't have much time left." "Oh, that's terrible!" says the man. "How long have I got?" "Ten," the doctor says sadly. "Ten?" the man asks. "Ten what? Months? Weeks? What?!" The doctor interrupts, "Nine..."

Anna Banana - January 2005

I'm trying soooo hard not to laugh in this picture. Whats so funny you ask?

Walking off into the sunset has never been easier...

Being a philosopher, I have a problem for every solution.

Its true. I wish I wouldn't take as long to chew something before swallowing it. I wish I could look at things like I did when I was a child. I was inquisitive back then as well, however, I asked the questions and if just one answer could be given I was usually satisfied. Yes, my specialization is psychology, but ever since I began my combined degree in Psychology and Philosophy (cause I thought it would be "fun") I have never looked at things like the way I do now. Its every philosopher's curse...

Whats your problem?

Gotta solution?

Tied up and twisted. You made me.

This has to stop.

A letter to you from me...

I'm tired of putting so much faith into you. I'm so tired all the time because I don't put enough faith into myself. I need to push you away for now...but you insist on stepping back yourself. Don't look at me with those eyes, and then take hold of my face...it just doesn't mean anything anymore. My heart no longer races whenever I hear your voice...instead, my heart drops into the pit of my stomach and I literally feel pain.

BOoo HOoo...I know thats what you're thinking.

I remember you and I taking a stroll that one summer night in Queens Park and I was making fun of you. I said that you were crazy and you talked too much. You turned to me and said "I've watched Forrest Gump too Annie. I can be that type of guy as well...believe me." For some reason that stuck with me. I dunno..its little things like that about you that always stayed with me. What scares me now is that I'm beginning to forget a lot of those things that made me fall for you...you've left me with nothing...but questions.

You used to call me princess (because you knew I hated it) and you'd open the door for me because you said it was romantic (that also drove me insane....but you knew I loved it). I wake up and your face is no longer what I see. Instead, I think about a million things in the morning before I think about you...but that just means that you're usually the last thing I think about when I fall asleep.

You're always going... going... gone! This has to stop. I can't do this anymore. I'm drained. I just can't stand by you anymore, hoping that maybe this time you'll stand by me long enough.

Please go away...get out of my head.

Please leave me alone...

leave me...

leave.

Artist: Jet. Song Title: Look What You've Done

Take my photo off the wall if it just won't sing for you, cause all that's left has gone away and there's nothing there for you to prove. Oh, look what you've done!!! You've made a fool of everyone! Give me back my point of view cause I just can't think for you. I can hardly hear you say "what should I do?" Well? you choose.
