The Procrastinator strikes again!
I had little bit of work to do today for school but I spent the whole day doing nothing!!
When the procrastinator attacks he attacks hard and swift!
...
My project was to do blind contour drawings of my face...
There's the kicker -blind!-
OMG I look like the ugliest person alive! Why o why does he want these blind?
I keep playing with Toby whist I post this. She's sooo cute! love love!
anywho I shall now find if there is anything else for me to do for homework.

Kitten of Joy!
Yesterday I forgot to update my blog. I must admit that it was because I was watching Cara try to make a race of humans on Spore... Needless to say they're creepier then anything else made of spore. For one of her first attempts features brown (to symbolize hair) on the belly, armpits, under then chin and butt... the brown on the butt just looked like he forgot to wipe. I was in stitches.
Yesterday I also showed Cara around my school. She seemed fairly interested and I hope that I gave her a taste of what moving away to university might taste like. We also were not able to go to Ikea because the Viva bus line was canceled... And I don't know how to plan around that. So until they're back up it looks like Wal-Mart and Future Shop are out for me.
Today my family visited me! Minus Shane and plus Jessica McA.
It was great fun. One of the bst things (besides seeing you guys again) was the fact that I got 48 waffles!! 48 waffles what will I do with all of them?!
...
Well I suppose I'll eat them... but still!
Kitten story!
Toby was eating a lot of food but I noticed that her litter box had remained unused. Concerd I kept bring Toby to the litter box to try and show her where it is. After like the whole day of her not pooping I took her to it only to have her hop out again. I then kept her close by as I started digging around in the litter box- like a cat would, hoping she'd get the idea!
...
I could be found later washing my hands after digging up a mess that Toby had put in the litter box. Cats bury their poop Travis. I feel like a complete knob.
So my bed is fixed my backpack hooks are up and Toby is having great fun attack a pompom that Mary made for her.
Oh speaking of Mary the other thing I wanted to mention about her the other day was;
I wanted to play a video game, Mystic Quest, on the super nintendo. After blowing on it, putting it in, and turning it on muptiple times with no result Mary grabbed the game cartrage away from me. She then proceded to blow into it, then looked at it very lovingly and say "I love you" then put it in a tunred it on. It worked!! Later I was trying to play Mystic Quest again to no avail. Mary eyed me. So I took the game out blew on it and very dearingly told it "I love you". I then put it in the system. After so many attemps I was sure that this wouldn't work... but it did! Cara has done this too and had it work if there are any sceptics amoung you! In short... games just need a little love.
So life is good here, I miss my family, and I can't wait for thanks giving.
Out

One leg both the same
Yippie!
We talked for a while and internet chatted with Dessica until bed time, which was very uncomfortable, just like I had predicted! I had to sleep on the hardest carpet floor ever. And I forgot my fan. For breakfast there was... well nothing to eat, Cara did her homework. Then we were driven home... The drive from here to there was abour 30mins. The drive from there to here took us 3 hours! We got terribly lost and had many traffic issues. We were suppose to get to Keele road... when we got to Keele we drove a little bit and it turned into Weston... for no reason whatsoever. What a headache.
Not to mention the comments made by My g-friend and her mother. I can understand how frustrated they were by the sarcastic comments and complainning didn't help anybody.
Ugggh I'm afraid Cara wasn't really getting a good idea of Toronto...
Away once we got back we ate chicken figures rice and carrots! Yum! And watched Alice in wonderland. It was pretty funny. Cara remarked; this makes no sence.
Now I've made her play spore and dare I say i think she's addicted! Yay me!
So today was good int eh fact that I love my sister so!
Will tty goons later, I'm hanging out with Cara!
-additive- Mary was dressed up for a wedding and she looked amazing!
-additive 2- I was also going to mention something else about Mary but I forget what it was : (

Hangin Out
Gus and Andy!
We played that Zu online game, it was pretty great.
I found out that Gus is also Itailain like Gabby, cool!
Then I took a nap...
then it was night time and I called Rachel wondering where she was. Apperently our phone was... stupid and It was a good thing I called her when i did because she was in the obby of our appartment!
So I was whisked away to Rachel's and now I am here waiting for Cara.
Joy joy.
She has a bunny and ever since Cara's last bunny, i don't like bunnies...
It's gonna eat me I swear!

Lego me Logo
(sound affect, not word 'who')
So last night I stayed up until 3:33 in the morning doing my logo project! I finished it handed it in and got some feed back! (Didn't get my mark but the feed back was encouraging!) Anyways here it is! I'm posting it up here to share with yous!
Business Card
I did this one a the standard business card size; 3.5' x 2' with 2000 pixel/inchNeedless to say I brought Photoshop to it's knees.
T-shirt
Mostly everybody in my classed used this T-shirt for there T-shirt sample.I was a tad different because I changed the colour of the rims to purple.
Backpack
This came out fairly nice. I chose purple and white as my colours because that was the colours of my devil wing and angle wing on my logo.Car
Okay yeah I know I wouldn't drive a purple smart car either, even if it had my logo on it, but it was all about my theme and presentation.Yeah the teach said that mine was worth an A, possibly more then an A so I I get an A+ on this I'm go bonkers! However I don't have a mark back yet so I expect a B, that'll do for me.
There were some pretty sick ones that other people made today. The main problem that a lot of students had problems with where the line quality and the presentation. Debbie from yesterday had an amazing business card, and it was simply black and white.
So my weekend is looking busy, I'm thinking about taking Cara to explore Ikea if she hasn't been. I have a project due tomorrow that I have to work on right after this... and supper, I wants me some supper!
Mary also called last night and said that we might have a possible room mate! Hurray!
She said that she seems to hold tidiness in high regard! Something I really haven't had a problem with!
I hope to play Spore soon!
Out.

Get over it
Then after my friend Debbie and Andy... wait pause there
First a quick story about Debbie:
In illustrations me and here were sitting beside each other and looking at each others sketch book. I told her that I dig her work. She's Japanese (Or Chinese, I'm too embarrassed to ask.) She told me; "I... dig... your work too." It was great!
Anyways back to the main story, all three of us went to the computer lab and I was showing my Deviant art account to Debbie. Then she started showing me hers...
Oh my word it was amazing! Like she draws the exact same way I wanna draw!
Then I started think about my actions today. I was calling my work bad and my friends where all being like: "No, it's really good." and I'd be like "No..." but on the inside I'd be like; "Yes, yes it is, I am amazing."
I'm so ashamed of my attitude about the whole thing. Like Debbie is so good and she still talked to me reasonably and honestly about my art. I really have to switch my mind focus from trying to "out do" my fellow artist and more to try and understand the concepts and develop my art further.
Dammit! Why do I have to be so vain!
In other news I forgot my D.O. today and sweated a lot and I don't smell... weird.

Friends on Fire
All of us there looked like such a club that this one guy and girl came up to our group and asked if we liked anime. all of us there were like; "YES!" lol so i guess I joined a club today!
Oh and when I got back to the apartment and went inside... It was on fire! The fire alarm was going off! lol no nothing that amazing, it said over the intercom that there was a small fire on floor three but the building was now sucure. Happy days!
On a side note, spore is awesome!
And one of my teacher said he really like my art work!
So I guess the title really doesn't make sence for today's DD. I thought it would be neat to link the two major events of my day though. hee hee hee.

Logo Quickie
Create, Evolve, Explore
I made a colony of little purple bird people and they are all like awesome!
i had a choice between being like nice, mean or normal. I had to choose nice because I couldn't make the other colonies hate me.
I've been having fun exploring the galaxy as my little purple bird people. It's such a cool game! :D
I am quite happy with it!
Other then that, I can't wait to get my cat!...
Lame update today... All my creative juices went into making a cool fun spore collany.
So I will end with a lymrick
There once was a College student named Travis
Whose head was an oceanic abyss
for he blogged all day long
even though he knew it was wrong
And when he fails he'll know what to reminisce.

Shopping Time
Yesterday I was doing homework. Homework all day, so I didn't blog it. Until now that is.
Today was a shopping day! First me and Mary went to the Ghetto Mart to pick up some food and then we came back here for lunch then headed out again to fetch things we couldn't get at the Ghetto Mart. There was quite the list but among one of these items was replacement razor blades for me.
So we thought to look in Wall-Mart (because it was the only store around where we could shop, don't worry we left it till last). Unlike our wall-mart at home where the pharmacy is at the back to the right, this one as tucked away in the front left corner. After walking the perimeter of the store we finally found the blasted razor blades... only to find them under a glass screen like video games. I now have found a whole new reason to hate emos.
...
Took like half-n-hour to find some stupid person with the key to unlock it for us. emo's should just use knifes if they're going to cut themselves. Then hopefully on one of their bouts of dispair they accendently kill them self.
Putting razors behind a glass panel, geeesh!
Oh and also this is a pretty good take on Dora the Explora.
Can somebody PLEASE tell me what time zone we're in?

Thought Dump
First off, did you know today was talk like a pirate day? I had no idea. it was super sweet! Well because I talked like a pirate with Trish! Hurrah!
Second off it was in quite a moody slump last night, I sorta blame the fact that a lot of people who I was talking to last night were upset, stressed and/or not feeling good. And then there was the fact that I had a huge project due that took to much work for so little. My art assignment last night required me to use my printer. And the things I were printing out required a lot of ink. I though I could crop the board off of them and use indian ink to fix it up. Well the indian ink was the wrong black colour and curled the edge of the paper so it looked like poo, so this morning I cut it off so that I had squares. When he marked it, he took one mark off for the square shape but it did look so bad. I hope that kinda problem attack doesn't happen to me again.
The work is building up here. I've got to read three essays for English, and plan a responce to one of them so that I can write an in class essay on Tuesday, I've got a folder due on and I think more contour draws due on Wednesday. I've got my personal logo assignment due on Thursday, which is going to be a lot of work. And then I've got another project due for Friday where I have to use all five elements of Design... I'm going to have a busy weekend...
In the middle of the termoil last night I had an awesome idea for a video game... well an added idea fro a video game.
My original idea was kinda like Super Smash Brother with that free 2D playform feel, but you could customize you characters and add moves weapons and magic. You could also level to increase different things. Like if you made a really big charater he would be harder to knock around and would hit harder but would be very slow. And as you level you could increase his speed. another thing thing you could do would be like, say if one of your moves was a jab punch, you could give is a magical attribute so like fire punch. same with weapons.
Anywas my idea was sorta like a limit break. I Thought of calling it breaking weapons. Like after you build up enough damage or use your weapon a lot in a battle it comes to a breaking point. and this breaking point your weapon would literally 'brake'. And then you have to do something that would result in an Omega attack or screwing you.
I'll throw in an example; Like if you have a sword and you're attacking and attacking so it reaches it's breaking point you do a powerful attack and your weapon brakes, little it shatters apart into little glowing chunks. You have little short time to press a button or a button combination. This will make the shattered peices turn into light and get absorbed into your character, making them go into limit mode. And if you don't press the right button then your weapon breaks and you are weaponless (either you lose that weapon or you have to wait a while for it to come back).
I thought you three different types of limit modes. In all of them an element, say like fire or water or earth (whatever element is most prodominate in your character/weapon) would be encircling you and pulsing through your character.
The three different typesof limit mode are possestion, hyper, and arrogance. Possestion your character floats there a rag doll as if he's possesed by the limit mode. It's really slow but had amazing range. In arrogance mode you're character stomps around like he's invencible with like a smirk on because he's like "You're gonna get it.". In that limit you walk really slow and run quite fast. And it's mostly physical attacking. And in hyper mode the limit makes your character go crazy fast, like he's itching to kill something. He's all twitchy and jerky. In this mode you don't cause as much damage with a single attack but you can zip around and attack VERY fast, almost to fast. There is a even balence between ranged and non-range.
I figured any character could have any one of those limit modes. I was thinking in my head that it would be great to see a super slow huge character have a hyper limit mode. then once the limit mode time is up your character returns to normal with his weapon in hand.
Sounds pretty sweet? Eh?
Well thats it for game Ideas today.
So class was really boring today, but i got to talking with Gus and Andy, and it looks like I'm being drafted to play an MMO with them...
Oh cool a fire truck and police car have pulled into our parking lot...
And now there are two ambuleances... it certainly smells like fire outside my balcony... Wonder what's going on...
Anyways the MMO is Zu online. Gus was like tell me about it for half-an-hour, it sounded pretty cool. and he sounded like he was right into it. So I think I'll play, they wanted to form a guild, I wonder what all this means.
It definatly smells like burning plastic outside, everybodies looking out from their balconies... one lady even has a book that she's reading while she watchs the secene downstairs lol.
One of the last things I wanted to put into today's DD was this
if you can't make it out there is a lady's sock, a can of Red Bull and a plushie of Edward Elric.
These are my treasures today. When I woke up I was getting dressed an found a ladies sock within my stuff, well actually in my laundry I did last week. So I think it came from the laundry-mat down stairs. it isn't Mary's or any of my sisters so, I guess I stole someone's sock. what I thing I have done. Second I uptained was Ed on my way to school I saw him laying in the dirt. I picked him up and brushed him off. There was no one arond so I casually took him! Sweet deal this plushie is great! And my last one was the can of red bull. I walking around York and a car with a giant red bull can pulled up and two ladies jumped out and start giving red bull to everybody who walked by. I got one. I started thinking, instead of drive by shooting this was a drive by giving! How pleasent! I drank it with my lunch.
I also wondered around York (Not the two building belonging to Seneca@York, but actual York (and why is S@Y underlined like that?)) and mailed my letter to the government so I can get money for dad being a criple. So i learnt a little more of how to get around. sweet deal.
So I think I will end this DD here because with an XL coffe in my system along with a red bull I'm starting to get antizy. So I'm going to go see what's going on with the emergancy vehicals outside.
Oh and can someone tell me what time zone we're in? The time this says it's posted in is way off.

Artzey Fartzey?
Well, kinda. I've come to an conclusion; Artists are weird.
I mean like they were all cool but now I've got a little bit more understanding. I mean like Camren is just the slightest bit cynical. Don't get me wrong, he's still awesome but he's got this slight angry-bully edge to him. Kinda reminds me of Dessica a little bit. Gabby is free. I mean like now that I met her she had no problem saying hi again and holding a conversation or being silly in front of me. Gus is still cool. I wonder if he's an insomniac because he said he would be going to bed because he never does... ? Micheal is pretty down to earth but he's seems like a slacker.
Yeah friendships are great
On a side note, my hot water knob for my shower is kinda funky. Like when I turn it, it doesn't want turn on. Weird.
Tomato soup for dinner, was friggin great. I found an Art store on campus and I think I love it. :D
I bought my English text book today, and my computer's pin code. I was going to buy my Design text book but it was sold out... uh-oh for me!
I'm going to buckle down this weekend and catch up on my English since today was my first day for that, retry drawing my hands in blind contour, and do some work in my colour class and life draw and then spend most of my time on my personal Logo. Dammit, I have a stupid computer's assignment! I guess I'm starting to get pretty busy...
Has anybody else noticed the chance in the weather? It's starting to cool down and it's possible to wear sweater now and not have it become uncomfortable. The air here in toronto always smells but now that it's cold it's starting to feel refreshing to take a breath of air outside.
Lastly, there is a giant blemish on my face and I don't know where the heck it came from. Looks like some bruser of a mouse came along a socked me a good one right below my left check bone... It looks brused!

The Triple Rollar Coaster Loop-de-Loop
I started off this morning completely dreading my English test thing. The walk over to school, my stomach was doing flip-flops. I found out that I've really good and making myself so nervous that I make myself sick.
I guess I slightly differ from Dessi who makes herself so nervous... she breaks down and cries.
Anyway The exam peice that they gave was a lot better then the peice of crap that they gave me in the testing hall. In the testing hall it was all like; "peircing hurt, so does plastic surgery, so do tatooes! Why is the price of beauty pain? Pick a side and argue it." And I was like, "I have just stood in a line for 4 hours, I'm not ready to take a test."
But this one was an essay that a female univercity teacher wrote that was all about why cellphone suck. and it was fun to read! We had to pick a side, either agree or disagree, and argue how the essay supported it's good points or lacked on the weak ones. I pick agreed and wrote it a felt pretty darn good about it. So after feeling so good about my awesome english test I was on a pretty good high.
So I went to my next test with a timmies coffee in hand. I started with my weakest subject, and that was Excel... boy did I bomb it! And I wasn't even allowed to open the actual program and try it from there. Twas the sucks. I didn't pass any of them and now I have to take all four as through out the semister. Dammit. So that had me down in a pretty good low.
Then after my whole class assembled outside of the stupid computer's course and talked about how completely sucky it was. I talked to quite a few of the people whom i wanted to talk to, including Gus and Gabby! Whoo! Yeah Gus is a pretty cool dude, he failed the tests worse then I did though. And Gabby is pretty quiet but i got to talk to her as we went a retrived something from her car! Yes now I have introduced myself to the people I wanted to and just have to work on becoming friends! Oh plus bonus friends; Micheal, Andy, Micky, and another girl whose name evades me right now.
So starting friendships is a definate plus!
Then I had life drawing where we handed in an assignment where we had to draw our hands in blind contour. I was lacking in the blind department and I'm pretty sure that I didn't do to well... simply because i didn't completely follow instructions. How sad for me. So I was in a little bit of a down. Oh well he said we could retry it.
Then I reached home and leant that Mary has a bladder infection and is on heavy drugs. Hurray drugs! I feel bad.
So now I'm coasting at a good mood level before bed.
Oh and I completely hope that none of my college buddies find my blog, because they would think that I'm 100% creepy and I would recive a quick excommunication.
Out!

End of the Jerker Line
I have to know Microsoft Excel, Word, Power Point, and Window's Vista. I'm quite worried about all of these because I don't know these programs extremely well. Mary said that while I take the test I should open the program's beside it so I know what I'm doing before I answer. Good Idea, because then I can open the help file as well.
And on top of that I have to take another English test.
Apparently I got into ENG149. This English doesn't count towards my English credit, I have to take it so I can get into ENG500, Which is the actual credited course.
On my test I got a 2+, which means I'm just under the boarder line of being in ENG500. So the nice people in the English office have told me to come in tomorrow and I will write an English test to see if I can bump that grade up. If I can then that means either I can take English 500 next semester or this one and get it out of the way. Which would be sweet! So I've got to call mah sister and discuss Englishy things.
I'll tell you all about it tomorrow.
In the mean time let me tell you about class today. Today I had drawing, in which we drew a chair. It was quite hard the teacher was looking for negative spaces, angels, and proportion. So it had to be bang on. Mine was pretty good, and I made a new friend; Andy! Woot! He's pretty cool except he mumbles so it's a little hard to understand him. Anyways while we were drawing we got our own assignments back. They were of tile floor draws we did the first week. It was all about one and two point perspective, so you either got it or you didn't. 5 marks if you got one, and 10 if you got them both. I got 10/10! Yippie!
Anyways the point of this story is that tard, Eric. He got 5/10 and went to go talk to the teacher about his mark. (I know this because that kid screech yells everything he says in a very nazelly manner.) The teacher, very kindly, explained what was wrong and why he only got half marks. The kid wasn't taking it to wel, then the teacher relooks over his other project and decides to give him a 0/10. Apperently he didn't get it at all. He starts like crying and yelling at the teacher saying things like, "But my mom said it looked good!"
Needless to say I face-palmed.
Oh man!
I mean I haven't gone to bed yet, so this thing is totally on time!
I was very productive today, I went to the shore and picked up a few things, I did my homework then I washed my floor, cleaned my bathroom, then did my laundry and the played that MMO until now... oops...
Oh well.
I'm so upset at myself for not blogging!
Bacon said I failed... : (
Well tomorrow I have another intensive drawing class, tell ya about it later!

Missed the mark
I awoke to Mary telling me that it was time to go to sketch jam. I was going to go, then I got caught up in my computer desk falling apart, and my computer had no anti-virus and was being attacked.
And I hadn't even started my hour-long morning routine!
I know that sounds like an excuse... and it is! I really should of gone!
I then thought of hanging out with Rachel and then maybe going to sketch jam. So I called Rachel up and it turns out Katie had a cold. So Rachel wasn't about to go and try and find my place alone.
I can sorta understand that. I mean I wasn't about to go venture out to the buses and try to find where she lives... I mean I don't really even know where I live!
I'm not a go getter like that. Plus Rachel had homework.
So I stayed home and worked on my too.
Whilst blasting my Rock Alt music.
...
The wind is screaming right by my window right now... Is there a storm going on outside... hold on let me check...
Well the wind is certainly howling! And it smells like garlic...
A Garlic storm! Oh no how horribly smelly!
My supper tonight was rice and hot dogs! Except I forgot how much I hated rice to I had to add peas to it to give it some sort of taste. And It was better.
I actually saw the night time ice cream truck tonight... it was driving in circles in a neighboring apartment building's parking lot...
OMG that is soo sketchy! And it was raining! Who supports this creepy thing?! It was playing;
do your ears hang low, do they wobble to and fro...
So I followed a link from VG cats and I was given this...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAwR6w2TgxY
I'm addicted to it and it is currently getting me excited ...
Well I can't say what for do to the readers of this blog.
But now I want to watch Alice in wonderland.
Drawing hands is hard, laundry is procrastinated, and internet is awesome!

Saturday Blah
Not that I'm complainning! Oh boy quite the opposite! Ilove Saturday Blahs!
Mary's parents picked up Carol and Travis T @ Waterloo and then came here and picked up Mary, and dropped off Travis T. So while they were here amongest Toronto I got to hang out with Travis! Yay!
We didn't much, made light conversation, compaired schools. He seems pretty happy where he is. Does it make me vain if I get a tad jealous when my friends talk about other people they're meeting that they think are cool? sigh.
It was good to see him again.
However once I finally started doing something with one of my old friends Rachel called and wanted to hang out! I really wanted to, but I couldn't.
I'm suppose to call her once he leaves.
We watched Animaniacs while we ate dinner.
Pinky: "Brain, what are you doing?
Brain: "Continplating your after life..."
We finaly got our wireless internet hooked up. Thank you Mary, and Take THAT, Rogers!
Plus, a new freezer gifted to Mary! Hooray!
Now I must venture and do the dishes... and call my girlfriend. : D

Haunting Ice Cream
The Haunting echo of an ice cream truck ringing outside... in the middle of the night...
How creepy! Honestly! Who buys ice cream at 10:00 in the night?! My goodness! How terribly frightful!
Yeah last night I had to do 54 thumbnails of art for today... it was long and VERY painful.
I spent the whole class talking to people around about what video games we liked. It was great except they all seem to really like Xbox. Yuck.
I feel like I might suffer some shuuuunage if I express my opinion about it so I will wait and pust Wii on them.
Mary and me where discussing art and looking at art books last night. It was inspire-discouraging. There's so much I don't understand, that it looks like I'll need to understand to have any hope at all at getting into animation or 3d gaming. Oh yeah I'm not sure which one I would need more. I think I need to talk with Shane...
Anyways I feel a like guilty about talking to Mary so long. She stayed up until 4:00am with her own work, with class @ 9. And it's sorta my fault! Ah!
So a list of things I have to do;
-laundry
-draw my hands
-obtain printer paper
-sweep and mop
-play Banjo-Tooie :)
In closing; Number of cockroachs vanquished so far: 4.

Invaders!
I should do the dishes before bed.
I hadn't generated any dishes really but there was a stack in the drying rack so I begun to put them away.
Out of the corner of my eye I spied something moving. By the time I looked there was nothing.
"I'm up way to late" But then as I dished up a dish from the rack a COCKROACH run out from under. Cockroaches are so blooming ugly. With nothing in hand it stopping in the middle of the counter. Knowing that this thing could not be allowed to live. I picked up the cuting board and slammed it down on top of it as hard as I could. I heard Cockroaches where very hard to kill.
...
Maybe this thing was the roaches dorky little brother because I obliterated it... and made quite a mess. then I had to re-wash everything, knowing a cockroach had touched them.
Then this morning as I crawl out of my bed into the bathroom to take my shower I go to move my drying towel out of my way, I spied another cockroach ontop of it starring at me! The gull of these stupid bugs! So I smacked it off into the tub and squwashed it with my water cup! Another mess to clean up.
These little bugs are so creepy. I had cockroach dreams filled dreams about them crawling on my as I slept... uck!! Now I know how Cara felt in Japan when she saw one.
So i think I will purchase a fly swater that I will keep on my person while around the house.
Just typing about this is giving me shivers! ... where could they be next?
It's not like our apartment is dirty or anything but cockroachs can travel between apartments easily I mean there's the piping and the wiring.
Yuck!
Anywho class was great today. Not to sound popmus but I think I'm a tich better at cartooning and drawing then my class mates. Well at least the people around me. Oh speaking of class mates, I've almost befriended Camren! We've almost become friends because of a mutual enemy, Eric. Oh that stupid kid! Eric just says whatever he wants loudly interupting the class. He's constanly hogging the teacher's attention to show them pointless things. He's like all of the socially awkward, and loser kids I knew in high school rolled into one! I didn't pay to go to college to listen to this tard speak! Just a glance quickly around the classroom whenever he talks tells me that nobody likes listening to him. NOBODY! Not even the teacher. Grr...
Anyways friendship with Camren I'd say... about 67%!
Whoo-hoo!
Now I have two friends in college! Go me!
Just two more! Gabby and Gus! ... well and who ever else wants to be my friend.
Except Eric! He can go die in a hole! Along with all of the cockroaches in this building!

Whip it off!
First I went to my ICA class all of my class mates where sitting outside the class there were already quite a few people in the class so I strolled right in, and sat down. the rest of the class was working pretty hard and I got to thinking... i don't reconize any of these people. After like 20 minutes of me just sitting there looking awkward the instructer guys says; "Okay everyone has to leave now we've got another class coming in." Realizing that I just walked into the class ahead of me I got up, left the class, then came back in!
I started joking about it with another girl in my class, who saw, me walk in and was all like "what the hell is he doing?" her name is Kadisha... I think she wears a head dress!
Anyways apperently if I can learn MS Word, MS Power Point, Windows Vista, And MS Excel then i pass the course by passing a pretest! yay! But it sounds like work... I donno excel nor power point. perhaps I'll do some research friday.
So anyways my life drawing class was next. And in it there was like five people I didn't reconize. one in particular I was watching he was at the front of the class room. Then he took off his shoes. I was like "what's this guy doing taking of shoes?"
Then he pulls his pants off and is standing there nude!!!
I was all like "AH!"
But everyone else was all like "hurmmm." Apperently Toronto people are used to people stripping nude.
Well I guess he was our nude modle for the day. But i think an introduction was in order. Like this is our nude modle for the day; Ben.
Nope he jusy starts stripping right there. Oh my goodness. And who draws naked people anyways? Fig Leaf S.V.P.
My life drawing teacher told me that i need to start a scketch book and just draw random people I see. i wonder if he would mind airal shots of people as I draw them from my balcony.
Anywho thats my update today!
Oh and I did mean Dear dairy... I totally meant to do that! I talk to milk! Dur hur hur!

What's Been Happening
Why I've started it;
So there are a lot of people asking me, "How are you liking Toronto?" And instead of writing to people the same things seven times I will refur them to my D.D., this blog.
My busyment: Arrival
Getting to tornoto was a long trip chafured by my father, however as the sun went down and Tornoto neared I felt myself becoming more ill. Once finding the apartment building I tryied to find Mary but I was left a note. Apperently she had left with Adam, I'll tell you about him soon. So after suffering a mild heart attack I found a phone number she gave me to call. I did and Mary finally came over. We unloaded all my stuff and for some reason dad decided not to see the appartment... strange I thought. I can remeber being so very frustrated that we couldn't bring all my stuff up that one night. i so wanted a bed to sleep on instead of a couch.
Unpacking and getting settled was speratic a difficult and I do not wish to repeat the process... ever!
My busyment: Orintation
me and mary went to orintation for me to get a feel for the school, after gathering a student handbook we where ushered into a gymnasuim. It was... Cramped. During the presentation many students got up and left. I thought it was a little rude for students just to get up and leave right in the middle of it! we were shown a video where we got to see all the cool things and the animation students had created. Nothing of my roomate, Mary, things were there. oh well.
After the Looong presentation that many many people left in the middle of, we moved to a very tiny space, where I think everybody who left during the presentation came back! Darn it was a tight squeeze! However the speaker, who looked like Justin Timberlake (his name was Ryan Porter, which made me think of Kylen Porter... but thats off track...) started speaking to us in Japaness... Jappennies? Japamandapaknees? Right so he started speaking to us in Japamandaknees which made me chuckle because Cara just came home from Japan. Apperently the speaker just got finished being an English teacher in Japan. His speach was very funny, exspecialy when he started showing us some English writing from Japan. Apperently on a sigh infront of a store somewhere it says; "Everyday HIGH price." I guess that's for all those people who are tired of all those Wall-Mart savings. So anywho i left feeling very unorintaed but at least I found out which buildings were what. So I could find my classes.
Mary then showed me my new groecery store, 'the gettoh mart'... and oh what a gettoh mart it is.
My busyment: A Taste for School
I left to find my first class myself and that was... well it wasn't hard at all. We all stood outside the class room for like half-n-hour waiting for class to start. That'll teach me for being early. I was informed that I would have to take an English test... well a second English test. We were given a map and I decided that I would go the next day. Okay remember that It's important. So finally class starts and the teacher starts off my saying, that we all suck at drawing... ouch. His lecture was interesting I think I definatly took the right class. He hand out an attendence and I have already decided on three people I want to be my friend. Their names are Gabby, Camren, and Gus... I'm not friends with any of them yet... cry. Although I have smiled at Gabby a couple times, she's caught me. I bet she thinks I'm creepy, why is talking so hard? And why the heck isn't Bacon here? Darn it she'd fit in so well with these people! I'm going to make her come here.
Anyways so he had us draw boxes (can you guess what classes this is yet? Drawing) which is actually A lot harder then you'd think it'd be. after that he then says: "Okay guys, your drawings suck, I want you to draw THESE boxes" which is all about siting angles and dealing heavily with paportion. It's harder then it sounds. Anyways I was standing beside some kid, curse myself I've learnt his name, Eric, who was completely freaking out about not being able to draw a box properly. I mean like the whole class is silently drawing and there's Eric like hitting his paper almost crying because he can't draw a box... I wanted to lean over and say "You were the coolest kid in your high school weren't you?" but I decided not to.
Anywho after that me and Mary went and tryed to figure out where I needed to go to do this test. I thought it was going to be around the school. oh no. I was the Actual Sencea which is like an hour away. So the next day we go there and their line goes to the end of the hall... and curves back... I was painful to say the least to stand in line to take a test for... 5 hours. And there is only so many times you can watch Doctor Horrible's sing-a-long-blog Mary had class so she had to leave me there. And once I get to the testing door I'm dealt with and rather unpleast women who made quotes like "These are all to students who've had since May to do their testing." Then I had to fill out a questionair asking me what level of English I've completed. Since it was University l'm pretty sure I got hit with the hardest English test they had. So after standing in their terrible line up for 5 hours then being treated poorly and given that hardest test they could imagin I then learnt that if I did bad on this test they might put me in an English class that I won't get any credit for so I'll be good enough to be in the actually creditable English class. I began to think that this system sucks. So in the end I missed my first class of that day and half of the following one.
My busyment: Up to date
Well other then those It's been going pretty steady I've been watching Animaniyacks during my meals and playing Banjo Kazooie and the NES Leged of Zelda whenever I get the time to. My apartment is fairly clean and I my Internets are lacking still.
So as my final note I will tell you all that I just finished my first role of toilet paper here in Toronto.
