Music:

Mr. Matt Taylor, I still have your lovely Chill Out c.d. and I do not think you are going to get it back from me, since we keep "forgetting" that I still have it every time we see each other (doot doo dooooo....). Anyways, yes, I have been listening to Matt's "Hard Kandi: Winter Chill" c.d. (disc 1). Songs on repeat are:

- "Whisper" by Slovo

- "Another Try" by Nova June

- "Naturally (Yearn Mix)" by KimBlee (this song is all about Ian)

- "Beautiful Crazy" by Space Raiders

- "The Girl Who Fell Through the Ice" by Aim; Kate Rogers

- "Sometimes Lonely" by Groove Armada and John Lee Hooker

- "Sunday, the day before my birthday" by Moby

Reading:

- Happiness (by Will Ferguson) - STILL!!!! (almost done, I just keep forgetting)

- I'm happy to say that I will be getting back into my philosophy readings very soon, since I am feeling very brain dead to be honest. I need some major stimulation, so I am going to start reading a book called "Emotion" by Dylan Evans (yes, I can just see some of you rolling your eyes right now).

Whereabouts:

- Work is dreadfully boring, except for 1-2 days during the week when my supervisor isn't really around all that often.

- I'll be heading to London this Thursday-Sunday for Canada Day Weekend.

- Working crazy hours starting July 4th. Oh the fun begins!

Teeth

They say that if you dream about losing a tooth, someone will die.

I had a dream the other night that two of my teeth were wiggly, but neither one of them fell out.

Maybe its cause I know that my boyfriend has a dentist appointment this Thursday afternoon? Hmm.

Or maybe its because I've started flossing hardcore once again and my gums feel raw?

hmm...

We Never Change

I want to live life, and never be cruel. I wanna live life, and be good to you. And I wanna fly, I'll never come down. And live my life and have friends around. We never change do we? no. We never learn do we? So I wanna live, in a wooden house. I wanna live life, and always be true. I wanna live life, and be good to you. Oh, and I don't have a soul to save. Yes and I sin every single day. We never change do we? We never learn do we? So I want to live in a wooden house where making more friends would be easy. I wanna live where the sun comes out

It is only the wisest...

and the stupidest

that cannot change

The Dream Approaches...

The Dream Approaches, by Salvador Dali (1932). People have analyzed this piece and say that the tower in Dali's work represent death, that the way the man is standing represents sexual urge, and that the "seashell thingy" there is suppose to look like female genitalia? I can see how this piece is dream like, since it is somwhat like a dream, which involves so many different parts that don't seem to "work together" but in the end they all do. What do you think Dali is showing us with this piece? And why is it called "The Dream Approaches?"

"Annie Get Your Act Together!!!"

Hey guys,

Lots of you have asked "Annie, whats up with your blog? We can't comment!" So I checked out my settings, and it turns out they were messed up (I have no clue...since I never play around with my settings, but anywhoooo...). So yeah, things should be cool now!

Cheers,
Annie!

Whats REALLY Going On Right Now

"Just Some Really Random Shit from Annie"

Its June 2nd, 2:06 a.m. I just got back from a little outdoor patio "party" thingy. I'm not sure what it was, there were a few people and lots of drinks...weed, cigarettes, John Mayer. I didn't indulge in any weed and I was trying not to indulge in John Mayer, thats for sure...but the damn guy kept playing it over and over again. Sarah, what was with that? Seriously, he was weird. Anyways, happy to say, that I am buzzed, smiling and quite relaxed. You're all thinking: "great, another reason why Annie will ramble on and on cause she's having a moment." Yes dammit, I am definetley having a "moment." To be honest, everyone should have one of these "moments" more often. We'd all get along so much more nicely.

So I've started working full time this week and its honestly not too bad. However, I had this thought the other day that really scared me: "I'm working full time, doing something kinda serious and I can't mess around for once." It also hit me how important it will be for me to have a job I REALLY love, because honestly, I can't do 40 hours of shit each week and walk out saying I'm pretty "content." I'm slowly learning the true value of my education and coming to understand how important it is that we find something we really love to do. Cause this is it man, 40 hours of work each week, that means 23.8% (minimum) of our week is devoted to working!!! So yeah, just make sure you end up doing something you REALLY love.

As for everything else, well I'm just chilling. I mean, honestly, that is the perfect word right now. I'm not feeling too much stress. I don't even feel like I have any school work, cause I have class one night each week. I'm learning really interesting shit in that class, like how to throw in certain questions into some random conversation that will get you to admit certain things about yourself. Umm, but don't worry, I wouldn't do that do you (doot doo dooooo!!!)

A few nights ago, Ian, my most wonderful sweetheart, took me into Georgetown (I still don't really know how to get there Ian) to meet one of his best friends, also named Iain (the spelling is just different) who flew in from Australia, after being gone for so long cause of school. It was really nice to be surrounded by the people that mean the most to my Ian and it truly let me see a realy cool part of his world (thank you baby!)

I guess the only stress I've been experiencing lately is that I've had my doubts about a few things. Like whether I'm going to like my job (for real), whether I'm going to lose my mind, living here at home, whether I'm doing the right thing with school, whether I'm going to be able to pay off some debt by the time I set for myself as a goal, and whether I'm being the best I can be (or should be at this moment). Its just hard when you're done school and all you have now is a different kind of responsibility. Its kind of sad how when it comes down to it, all of our goals (for a certain period of time) revolve around money, whether its saving up, or paying off. I feel so paralyzed because I can't do anything until I have everything in order. I want to move out...I want to travel, I want a little black jetta, I want to get a pet and be able to give it all its damn shots for goodness sakes!!!! I just wanna finish school already so that I can start doing something I TRULY love and start living life the way I WANT to live it, not because I have to improvise. Meh! I'll get over it. Remember, I'm just having a moment right now, everything is cool. Coooolio!

On a more positive note....Andrew arrived from England today at 3:30 p.m. Also, tomorrow is Friday and I can truly appreciate the phrase "TGIF" cause it actually means something now!

Okay, well I'm going to bed now, I finally feel sleepy. I'm actually turning into a real person with normal sleep habits (except for tonight of course, but I had to shake this buzz off before actually going to bed, so I wrote). It will feel weird to go to bed at 11 or 12, just to wake up at 8 a.m.

Cheers!

Annie

p.s. - I'm really sorry about all this random shit! Off to bed to rest my head.
