nothing like fam and friends

safe to say it was a pretty good night when the result is getting wasted with my little sister (wasted faces just below to prove it) and seeing Stef get her own personal dance on stage at a strip club. hopefully this does not get flagged down by blogger, don't know if I am breaking any rules here? its not like we see titties... not even side boob. ps my sister hates this photo of herself so I thought I'd mention when she's not making wasted faces she is such a doll, total babe, clearly inherited the good genes in our fam. 

too cute for life

nothing like wasting time on google image search. 

evening class

anything to not pay attention during our 2 1/2 hour evening class with no breaks. for anyone who is confused, this is what is happening: Dave, Natasha and I are sitting in the front row, having a joint msn convo, taking random photobooth pics... kinda following the power point lecture from time to time. but mostly just msn'ing, despite being seated one beside the other. attention span running on low due to it being the last class of the semester. 

exotic dream

ok so even though if I had the choice to travel any place in the world, I would choose Europe or South America or Australia and do the back-pack thing... right now I am daydreaming of sitting my fat butt on an exotic beach. Montreal has been nothing but bad news weather lately, cold raining, and yes even snowing what the hell. andd I really am in no mood for studying or working. so, could someone just bring me some place exotic? please and thank you.

uppp date

in light of a conversation I had earlier tonight, I have decided to make a post with somewhat more content, and a little less impersonal. 

funny story, one of our roommates peaced out in the middle of the night without paying rent for april. luckily we knew he was leaving and we had someone lined up for a couple of weeks from now, but still, he left us with the difference to pay on all the bills and half of his rent for april. shitty d00d. 

and umm, only about one week of classes left. one paper. 3 exams. so I have survived my second year of university: success! I have also managed to find an amazing supervisor for my honours thesis next year, the guy has been in TIME MAGAZINE, TWICE! he is also currently my new boss, as he is the one who hired me to be a research assistant in his lab. however I am still putting in a few hours at the YMCA here and there; between the kids and the staff, the Y has become my second home. 

on another note, other than my coo coo chaotic family situation, lately I find myself bound for the posi side of things. I have a lot to be thankful for, especially when I think about the amazing friends that I have in my life. my friends have taught me something this year: its not just about who will be there when you need them, but its about who is there even when you don't need them. ok, so it sounds a bit odd, but what I mean to say is that your real friends are those people who spend time with you just because, they are the people who enjoy your company and give a shit about your boring rants, they are the ones you make dinner and watch movies with, and they call you just to say hi, they are the ones you laugh with (corny, I know), and the ones you can sit around with doing nothing really other than just hang. Oh, and of course, they are someone you can pick your nose with! Obviously a friend is also someone who is there when you need them most, but a real friend is someone who is there even on the days you're just sitting around with a smile on your face. seems simple enough, but somehow I have only come to truly grasp this concept now, and for this I thank all of you who have been that real friend to me, thank you for enjoying my company. 

And a very special thanks to this lady here in the photo with me, she is the most wonderful of friends, I love her to pieces. I also think she is absolutely beautiful. 

fun time musics

please do not judge me but I really like this song and know all the words by heart. and turns out the video is pretty like worthy as well. this song makes me want to dance middle-school style, just jumping around all over the place. 

also, Nick brought this video to my attention this evening while trying to diverge me from making him watch something else, but I guess in the end it was worth it because this video is hilarious.

I adore...

dear anonymous hater

this is in reference to a comment left by an anonymous reader on my post "hi thurr." just wanted to point out that its pretty pathetic how some people have nothing better to do with their time then to be haters. not that I am a saint who has never poked fun at anyone before, but seriously though, was that comment really necessary? sry that I was not born with perfect eyes, but I've made it through life just fine until now, thanks. its one thing to make a comment about someone relating to their character, something they said or were wearing... fine, we all have our own opinions, and we cannot all get along or like everything about everyone. but to make a comment in a hating fashion about a person's physical appearance is pretty much the ultimate low-blow of passing judgement. 

so there anonymous reader, I think you really suck, and I hope you can one day grow up to be a non-hater because the world could really use a little less of people like you.  

put a donk on it

I can in no way take credit for this (Libby and Evan however can). go to this site and put a donk on all your fav songs, then have a party. warning- this is addictive.

vegan pancakes: do not try this at home

pardon the shitty photo quality, took these with my cell phone... but still felt the need to share this with you: 

first batch. clearly not even remotely close to a pancake, but good none the less due to the abundant chocolate, raspberries and laughter value. 

second batch, once we learned the trick of the trade. much, much better... yummies!
