1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal...along with these instructions.
"Then he realized that this was not the woman he was waiting for, because she did not smell of smoke but of flower lotion, and she had inflated, blind breasts with nipples like a man's, a sex as stony and round as a nut, and the chaotic tenderness of excited inexperience."
One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez |

1. Name someone with the same birthday as you.
My mom, Lance Bass from NSYNC, James Gould.
2. Where was your first kiss?
On a bench on the beach at LSP with Adam Chard. My first FRENCH kiss was in the pines, also at LSP.
3. Have you ever seriously vandalised someone else's property?
Not "seriously". I once ripped down a bitchy girl's sign. (She deserved it at the time, but I felt really badly about it after)
4. Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex?
Yes.
5. Have you ever sung in front of a large number of people?
I used to be in choirs throughout elementary school.
6. What's the first thing you notice about the preferred sex?
Height, it DOES matter to me.
7. What really turns you on?
I like it when a guy just looks good without even trying... For example, he just walked up to my door in the winter and his cheeks are rosy and he has a smile on his face!
8. What do you order at Starbucks?
I don't go to starbucks. I do not support American conglomerates.
9. What is your biggest mistake?
Lying to an old friend.
10. Ever hurt yourself on purpose?
Yes, but nothing serious. Things like bikini waxes, picking at my skin, kicking walls when I'm pissed off.
11. Say something totally random about you.
I'm not looking forward to Christmas.
12. Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity?
Yes, Rene Russo the most, but also Liv Tyler and Alanis Morrissette
13. Do you still watch kiddy movies or tv shows?
No
14. Did you have braces?
Yup.
15. Are you comfortable with your height?
I prefer to be tall because I think it's better than being short. As long as I'm with a man who is bigger than me, I'm happy.
16. What is the most romantic thing someone of the preferred sex has done for you?
That is too personal for the internet....
17. When do you know it's love?
Because it can humble me just by thinking about it. It's so much bigger than I am.
18. Do you speak any other languages?
Just French.
19. Have you ever been to a tanning salon?
No.
20. What magazines do you read?
No magazines, but sometimes my sister buys "People" or something, and out of boredom/procrastination, I might read it.
21. Have you ever ridden in a limo?
yes
22. Has anyone you were really close with passed away?
yes
23. Do you watch MTV?
I watch MuchMusic sometimes, but the VJs are damn annoying.
24. What's something that really annoys you?
People who go to class only to talk through it. I am here to LEARN, not listen to you talk about your collector cards.
25. What's something you really like?
Being in my cosy bed with my boyfriend.
26. Do you like Michael Jackson?
no
27. Can you dance?
Not really.
28. What's the latest you have ever stayed up?
I have stayed up for an entire night. It didn't go well, I got sick from exhaustion or something, and barfed. It was nasty; I'm not one of those 'all-nighter' people.
29. Have you ever thought that you were honestly going to die?
I have come close, when I was a baby.
30. Have you ever been rushed by an ambulance into the emergency room?
Again, when I was a baby, I think. I have no memory of this.
31. Do you actually read these when other people fill them out?
Yes. |

Thanks Krysta. I'm bored. Richard's asleep and the kitten (Icarus) would rather attack the buttons on the chair than play with me.

Still bored. Wish someone else had some surveys. May go looking for some (at least until the cat wants to play). |

An important part of our relationship to Richard is that we're in love. I guess sometimes it just hits us and we both have to sit back and realize "wow, I'm really in love..." and I'm his first love. It's so pure and fresh and wonderful every single day.
It's nice to know that someone thinks of me as 'a catch' and it's nice to know that for the first time in my life, I'm in love with someone and they're in love with me, too.
I want him to come home soon. Eight weeks is a really long time. |

I haven't been writing much in either of my journals lately because I have been spending all day at work in front of a computer and by the time I get home the LAST thing I want to do is plunk myself down in front of another one!
There isn't much of "new" in my life... I'm working this summer for Hydro One and getting paid as a Temp employee instead of a student so it's mucho more money. It's not a very exciting job - I'm in customer services and what I do is deal with customer complains like the other 8-or-so people that I work with. I log the complaint into their computer file and then pass it on... Some of the colourful language used by the annoyed customers is really quite entertaining. Misspellings of curse words always amuse me. They're four letters usually; how hard is it?
I've been glad to be home but I have been wanting to spend MORE time with my gals... I have seen Al and Tarah a couple of times and they're always awesome to hang out with. We've been having some good laughs which I hope is serving as somewhat therapeutic for Tarah (poor gal). Stupid men.
(The exception:) Richard is wonderful! We're almost at 7 months now and things couldn't be better... However, the new distance between us now that we're not both in Ottawa has been serving as a little bit of a hurdle because it's such a change. I'm used to almost every day of PHYSICAL contact with him - now I get weekends and once during the week (if I'm lucky).
I'm really looking forward to being at Lauren's cottage this weekend. It's the long weekend and so it's going to be great - partying and chilling with buds! Plus I'm looking forward to just hanging out with Lauren... I feel like she and I have been drifting apart so I still want her to know that I love her tons! I hope that everyone has a great time this weekend!
Anyway, time to grocery shop. |
