today i went out to dinner with the family for eid. we went to red lobster, which i always enjoy. and then i went to alex's to chill before her depart to aruba. we watched 10 things i hate about you (yay) and she packed. and we made a bartosz shirt. yeppp. i get to feed and love her kitty while she's gone, yay!
so i think tomorrow i am going to super-clean my room. and then i will get rewarded with drinking and partying! ps - guys i can't find twister. methinks my sister did something with it (it is hers after all)... should i buy it? i don't mind and actually i can probably convince my mom to pay for it. because really, what's a party without twister?
the past two weeks have gone by entirely too quickly. and i feel like i have so much to do still! but really there's nothing much.. clean room... hang out with friends... but i keep going to bed late like 6 am so i wake up at 3 pm and by the time i get up, shower and get ready, half the day is gone! i don't feel like cleaning my room at this hour. no, no.
so i've decided that next semester i am going to keep up with my readings. and make notes when i do the readings so i'm not screwed for midterms and exams. i'm also very determined to find a job. i'll lie if i have to. or just get some crappy crappy crappy one that has high turnover anyway. oh and for the summer, about the resorts, it usually takes three weeks or so to hear from them... so here's hoping i hear something in mid to late january!
i've also decided that 2007 is going to be a good year.
until next time, children.

so today jennica and i saw the prestige. it was good, but i'll admit i liked the book more. and i think i want to reread it again. i finished dearly devoted dexter today. it was INTENSE. way better than the first book. next season is going to rock.
tomorrow i am going to get together with one of my old best friends from my brampton days. we used to live down the street from each other. but when i moved away to mississauga it was harder to keep in touch. i think we tried, we called each other, got together once in a while... then i guess got preoccupied with new friends and such and lost touch. anyway, FACEBOOK has brought us back together. i'm so excited to see her and catch up!! this is going to be rad.
today i told my mom that i broke up with carl. it's weird to talk with her about that kind of stuff since we don't talk about it... she said she avoided the subject with me because she knew telling me stuff like "i don't want you to see him" would be useless.. and *i* didn't want to talk about it with her either... so yeah. she said she had a feeling.. asked how i was.. etc. it was nice (aside from her reminding me of a couple things i forgot, heh)... i had coffee with him the other day and last week too and it's nice to just hang out and have fun... we do have fun together.
anyway SO excited to see my friiieeennnddd! i'm gonna go look for some pics from the last... eight years for a visual catching up, lol.

well, i have applied to several resorts in whistler and banff, i really hope i can get a job at one of these places this summer! i might try ontario ones too... but yeah it could be a great experience! and four months of being away would kill my travel bug for a while right? i hope...
anyway the pay isn't great (unless i get the wicked bc one!) but i figure i would make more than i did this stupid summer with 30 hrs/week and mississauga transit + ttc per direction. *prays i get a job*
i sent out my resumes and cover letters on really really nice paper, i hope that helps :P
if i do get one of these jobs, i may hold out on the dreads/undercut until i get back at the end of the summer... dunno if they'd support that!
please please please let me get one of these jobs, preferably one of the two i want most!

so i'm in toronto at ilana's place. we were listening to spice girls earlier. good times. and we had all you can eat sushi which is always fun. we were initially going to actually cook a dinner and while waiting for the streetcar to get groceries, she discovered i like sushi so we did that instead. less effort and all that jazz. this is pretty fun :) i kind of don't wanna go home. holy jebus tomorrow will be so boring, tv will suck and everyone will be busy. i need more non-jesus friends :P
earlier i the day i saw nightmare 3D. oh yes it is still, by some miracle, playing in scarborough... i managed to convince to parentals to take kenzy and i there and they saw a different movie (deja vu) which started fifteen minutes after ours and ended an hour and ten minutes after ours!
yesterday was stef's birthday... we gathered with her family in celebration. there was a heavenly bread that i pigged out on.
i'm so excited for new years. we are going to spend a night in, with a hot tub, movies, games and alcohols. best combination ever. sometimes it's too complicated to arrange a night out, and this way we all save some dollars. and spending time together is really what's important, so it doesn't matter what we do (hallmark moment).
okay time to watch a movie! later players, and merry christmas to most of you.

| my day |
[19 Dec 2006|02:20am] |
i had a good day today... i watched the season finale of dexter, which had actually finished downloading at 4 am yesterday, however i didn't want to watch it so late in case it would make me not sleep, so i watched it today during daylight. then i had that whole doctor thing, followed by having thai for lunch. and then i met up with janna... we worked at the bottle factory together, and i haven't seen her since then which was about a year and a half ago? so we had dinner and coffee... and then we saw "tenacious d in the pick of destiny". it was a pretty awesome movie! and then we went to the harp for a pint, they had a jam session going which was pretty cool. and now i am home, watching televisions... i'll probably be up until late like last night... fall asleep watching tv... cuz my room is too messy to sleep in. i'll have to spend tomorrow cleaning it, oh joy.
edit 5:48 AM: yep still not asleep. i'ma eat some leftover thai and perhaps sleep after that. here's hoping. i can't go back to school with this whole staying up late type thing. well whatever, the week before i go back i'll straighten it out! oh snap my dad is getting ready for work. reminds me of grade twelve. oh the memories.
edit 6:34 AM: clearly i cannot yet go to bed as the saved by the bell where jessie freaks out over caffeine pills is on. haha. and screech is sinead oconner. good times.

sooo i went to my doctor today and i have thalassemia trait. it's not a bad thing, but i'll always have it, and my blood count will always be low. for me it explains the fatigue. and if/when i decide to have to kids, my partner would have to get tested to see if he has it or not, because if he does, the baby could have thalassemia and that would cause problemos.

i'm home and finished exams. hooray! lookin forward to going out tomorrow night with my gals in celebration of stef's birthday, should be a good time!
for the first time ever, i forgot to pay my credit card bill on time. one day late, i hope it's all good... :\
well, i have a headache, and i probably get to bed. and hopefully clean some of this messy room tomorrow. i don't know how it got this way when i'm barely here :P of course bringing home most of my stuff did contribute to said mess...
bleh. sleep. g'night.

| all nighter |
[13 Dec 2006|06:41am] |
for fuck's sake, i haven't slept but i bet you i will still fail this bloody exam.
stupid primary documents. i bet i've forgotten all of the important things i need to know.
essay questions? haha. oh so screwed.
the good thing is i need 13% to get the credit. that's half of one essay question. i can do that. no need to panic. it would be NICE however, to get more than a 50 in this retarded class.
well before i write this bad boy, i am going to eat some breakfasts, and after i write this, i am going to SLEEP.
at this point i am no longer absorbing information (was i ever?)
but somehow i think taking an hour long nap wouldn't be in my best interest.
two hours until exam death. gah.
and then, my friends, one exam on friday and i'm outta heeeeeeeeere!
ugh. i wish this exam was over with. i am so not looking forward to writing it. diediedie.
i haven't pulled an all nighter since my anthro midterm... october something or other. that's pretty good right? at least it's not a regular habit.
well i'm gonna not absorb some readings while i'm up... or talk on msn... err... the end!

i am going to have new hair in the new year!! i am so excited
yet i also have this feeling of overwhelming nervousness because i am ridiculously understudied for my 8:30 am exam. why oh why couldn't it be at night? *tear*
i thought not being on msn would help, but it totally doesn't.
okay amira. get AWAY from the computer. NOW.
it's bad to not sleep before an exam right?
but is it worse to get like 4 hours of bad sleep, or none at all? hmmm...
oh, also, i watched the first episode of heroes today. i love jess (i know he has a real actor name, but jess is easier than milo). anyway so far i am creeped out by mirrors. does it get worse? if so, i don't think i could watch any more. i can take killers and blood and gore but freaky supernatural shit freaks me out. i can take the flying and the painting and the non-dying and the time travel too. just the mirror... *backs away* the mirror... (think emperor's new groove... beware the groove.. grooooove)
uh. i think i just don't want to get to reading again. remind me to never ever take history again.. EVER!

anyone want to go to montreal for new years?
...
please?
it would be superfun!
seriously, i don't have a job = spare time = let's goooooooo! mind you, i'd probably have to borrow money from the parents, or put it on my credit card... but i'm okay with that. one person! more would be better but i actually don't forsee anyone wanting/being able to go, so i'll take what i can get. you know you wannnnna :D
worth a try

and no, i am not going alone. fuck that.

dexter was INTENSE last night. i mean, i read the book so i knew what the end result was going to be, but it was still intense as hell. what a great show. next week is the last episode until the SUMMER! if you have tmn, please watch an episode :) think about it... serial killer... who works in forensics! ha! and also, he's a good serial killer, he kills murderers and such, and he is always 100% sure before he does it. ahhhhh i can't wait until next week's episode!
i don't want to study for history, this exam is going to rape me the hardest... but i guess i should study more for it. ugh. history officially sucks. and i'm still tired, i had my alarm set for 10 something, but i went back to sleep until 12 something. and now it's 1 something and i'm sure i could go back to bed this instant. maybe i'll just get an energy drink...
i think i need to go to the library to study, people here do not comprehend EXAM TIME = QUIET. and some people are just naturally loud so every time they talk you want to hurl something at them. also, people love having conversations right outside my door, it's great. yeah. not so much. i can't even tell where these people are, but they aren't quiet, that's fo sheezy.
oh well, home in three days!! yay!
haha, passions on dec 22 will feautre richard cheese's "naughty girl" in the first five minutes of the episode. nice. and on the 27th, it will feature his "silent night" in the first five minutes. that's pretty awesome. i mean passions is great enough, but passions AND richard cheese?
oh the loud people have left (i assume, because there's no noise). yay. this means i should study.
so. not. motivated.
okay okay i'll study, jebus, get off my back!

| stupid losing stuff... |
[10 Dec 2006|04:58pm] |
for serious, i lost my kinda long entry.
whatever happened to that auto saving thing? oh NOW it works. whore.
well i'm too lazy to type it all out again.
quick summary:
quiz: based on my birthday i'll fall in love once and have my heart broken once
book: can make it smaller than 8.5x11, will cost more but look better
life: want to volunteer for six months in south america + learn french for five weeks in spring/summer + semester abroad = need moneys. well the middle one has bursaries, if i had to pay i wouldn't actually do it...
studying: what i should be doing
making free calls with skype: what i will be doing (hey, it's free until the end of the year, gotta take advantage - but after it will be 2 cents/minute, i can deal with that too)
aight homies. peace.

 wee! |

taking a little study break here. i am really excited to get my lj in book form. the site i am going to get it from is pretty cool... i mean, sure i could go to business depot and get it printed and binded.. but whatevs. this way it will be paperback (or coil bound if i really wanted) and if i want, i can choose a cover design (included in the price)! they have lots to choose from OR i can make my own... and if i want, there can be a description on the back, "journey through 2003 as amira gets her first kiss, runs away to england and gets her lip pierced!" haha.. or something.. actually in the end i'll probably just have the whole book one colour, and just have it say the year or something. boring BUT at least i get to choose!
and lj book makes an index so it's easy to find specific entries... if i used subjects more often :P maybe i'll make that a habit
this may or may not lead me to deleting all my old entries :P
i emailed my security boss guy today so hopefully over the break i can cover some shifts
omg i am having way too much fun on this site! this may be a LONG study break :P ...which i really shouldn't be taking because the exams i have next week are going to hurt me. ouch.
oh i got awesome gifts from guelph friends! a sock monkey who i named regina philange (which can be seen on facebook with her friends bernard and joel glicker) and a ling ling pencil holder! and candy canes, can't get enough of those!
i wish i knew how old christian camargo is, he's my new celebrity crush. he has a vintage car shop and a photo studio, i guess that's good enough :P
so far my cover is a beach with palm trees and a sunset. random. but we all know much i love the beach! :D okay i'll get back to my fun...

i just want to say creepo on dexter is pretty hot... minus the whole creepo thing. his imdb pics are cute! i got the first book dexter is based on, so i'ma read that... i'm a third done. and there's a second book but there are way less copies in the library system and none available now so i will wait. however, on amazon.ca i read part of the first chapter (which is even at the end of the book i have now anyway) and it totally ruined something for me :P just so y'all know. it involves.... someone... DYING. i know, crazy right?
so alex and i saw happy feet. what i REALLY wanted to see was the tenacious d movie and/or the prestige (it is still playing at amc!)... but yeah we saw happy feet. and i was thinking "i guess this movie will be okayyyy" but it was actually so good!
just so y'all know, i've had a mint brownie every day i've been home (except for today)... new addiction? goodbye white chocolate macadamia nut cookie, hello mint chocolate heaven. actually i had TWO yesterday. well one and a half. oh snap.
so last night i saw carl, i had a couple things of his i wanted to give back to him and vice versa. we went to starbucks and then the harp. it was really nice to see him, we always have so much fun together. and sure, we talked about some things i would have felt more comfortable not talking about, but i guess booze helps with that :P we both had our times of being retarded and bad judgement (perhaps i more than him?) ...we also talked about good times.. so yeah. i miss him sometimes.
well i should be getting ready to go back to guelph. ugh exams. have i started studying? sure haven't. i would be doing so much better if i actually put some effort into this crap. oh speaking of guelph.. my exam schedule for next semester is TWO EXAMS on the 13th, ONE HOUR apart. and, and... wait for it... TWO EXAMS on the 17th, ONE FUCKING HOUR APART. clearly i need some different classes!! can't wait until monday when i can make some changes to that hell.
oh!! ljbook.com is back up (it was down since like... beginning of november)... i think at the end of this year i will get it printed... i might do it by year, because it would be silly to have '02-'06, and then i'd need another book with what i write from then on... so year by year seems good.. more expensive but i can deal with it. if i get a job. i really hope i find something in january! ooh and speaking of.. ordering stuff.. my shirts were shipped out yesterday!! yay!

tonight i went to roc n docs to watch ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) jeffkahl's band play
i dunno if it's just me but sometimes when things happen or when thoughts go through my head, i narrate to myself what i'm going to write in lj. but not tonight. tonight it will be short and sweet.
i still don't have that thing that i'm good at or passionate about.
i do more things alone than i do with others.
three pints gets me pretty buzzed... slash slightly drunk
watching seven episodes of a show involving serial killers makes walking home at 3 am scary (yes we will watch them in res too but today i was bored and had nothing else to do)
PS - WATCH "DEXTER"
it's a great fucking show
there aren't a lot of those out there
