I started a dishcloth yesterday while watching season two of Pushing Daisies. It was very soothing. I only watched the first two episodes, because I was too tired to watch the rest of the disc, but it was still nice. Emerson Cod is hilarious. I might watch the rest of the first disc later, if no one else is watching anything - or I could watch it upstairs, but I don't like doing that because the little TV upstairs isn't as nice as the big TV downstairs, and the DVD player up here is older and persnickety.
We had burritos for dinner last night, so I had one for lunch today. Though I'm still a bit peckish.

Haven't posted it a bit...
So yesterday was... well, it started out good. Uncle Brent came over for lunch because he and Mom had a family meeting to go to regarding Grandma's health. So we ate sandwiches and watched Rosanne - I had a ham and cheese sandwich, Mom and Uncle Brent had egg salad sandwiches (so that they could fart during the meeting... haha).
It was when Mom got back that the day started going not-so-good. Grandpa is pretty much refusing to believe that the stroke was as harsh as it was.
Youth group was terrible. Everyone kept talking all at once and I forgot to do a check-in or to propose a summer youth service. So now I'll have to e-mail the idea to Stephen. Long story short, I walked out of the loft and sat on the bench for a little while. I tried to give them a second chance, though. I did walk back into the loft. But most of the younger members kept being immature, so I walked out again and waited until Dad came to pick me up. I should have just called him and asked him to come early, but I didn't want to disturb him. Next time, I will call.
Today I woke up twice. The first time I woke up, Smiles was running around my room like a lunatic and then jumped up on my bed. I fell asleep again, and woke up a second time, at around 9-ish or 10-ish. Probably 10-ish, because when I eventually dragged my ass outta bed it was around 11:00.
Didn't do math today, but I did some yesterday while Mom and Uncle Brent were at the meeting. I also finished watching the entire DVD set of Are You Being Served?. I was going to go to the library today, but I might have to go tomorrow...

Afterwards
So Nathan's visit went well. He offered to help me get rid of the remnants of the biology program, but I declined.
I think I miss actually talking to my brother. One time at Grandma and Grandpa's house - it was for a party of some kind, but I can't remember for whom - we just sat in Grandma's kitchen and talked, with their little radio on. They have this little TV with a radio built in. Pretty nifty. Nathan was put to work putting trays of hors d'oevres (I'm probably spelling it wrong) in the oven and then taking them out and serving them - I think Aunt Patti made him do that. I wouldn't put it past her. Anyways, we just sat on the floor and talked. Normally my brother is a social butterfly, but at family functions he often prefers to socialize with only a few people. So today we all chatted pretty normally - me, Nathan, Mom and Steph.
I thought about something else today, too. Before I get into that, I should probably say that the dojo where I got my black belt was not the dojo I had originally started karate at. The dojo I started at was a place closer to our house, and it's in the same plaza as a good fish-and-chips place. We left after I got my red belt, though, because we didn't like the way the instructors - namely, Mr. M and Mr. C - were teaching the classes.
Anyways. What I was thinking about today was a particular evening at that dojo. In the class, all of the boys, directed by Mr. M, had to briefly leave the class because they had all thrown their coats on the floor of the men's change room. While they were attending to the mess, Mr. V had us girls go through our katas (katas are patterns of stances, blocks, kicks, etc, and are pretty much imaginary fights). I was thinking this evening that Mr. V really took us seriously in that class - in all the classes he taught, in fact. That was something neither Mr. M nor Mr. C ever did.
That memory makes me feel awesome.
In other news, my nose hasn't been dripping as much today, which is good. I have thus far watched two discs of Are You Being Served? - one disc yesterday, the other disc today. The whole series is seven discs long, but I think the seventh disc is just special features. So that's cool :) I had a book due back to the library today, and didn't return it today, but I'm not too worried. I have change to pay for fines.

A very long post
I am so pissed off with my mother.
I don't recall her EVER saying that we were going to the silent auction thing at the church. She may have said something, but I can't remember. So now I can't go bowling with the youth group on Saturday.
Well, if by Saturday I am STILL not allowed to go bowling with the youth group, I'm staying home. No way am I going to that silent auction. The last time we went to a silent auction event (which was the fall festival concert/silent auction a few years ago), I wound up between two tables. This silent auction is a fundraiser, I think, with Indian dancers performing. I'm sure the dancers would be great to watch, and I have nothing against it. I just don't want to go.
I'd rather stay home and:

I'd rather stay home and:
- Listen to the Galaxie music stations real loud
- Read a book
- Watch a movie - probably Rocky Horror or Shock Treatment. Although, I do have the second Harry Potter movie, which I haven't watched in a while, along with The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And many others. Hell, if I still have Labyrinth out of the library on Saturday night, maybe I'll watch THAT again. David Bowie looks quite dashing in it - I love how he says to Sarah (Jennifer Connolley), "Forget about the baby." Just the way he says it is oddly alluring.
- Eat junk food
- Play Final Fantasy VIII (if I can figure out how to use my PSone with the new TV)
- Go on Facebook and change my status to something snarky
So yeah. I'm pissed.
I'm also on an 80s music kick. Especially Billy Idol.
My Calorimetry is coming along nicely. I worked on it yesterday while watching Labyrinth. It was the first time I watched it, and I loved it!!!
Youth group was alright last night. Riley was there for a bit, but he left partway through the meeting. Somebody threw a shoe at me, which pissed me off. I don't think it was on purpose, though - I think it was aimed at someone else. We played charades in the sanctuary, and then Emma turned the lights out, so I got pissed off and walked back to the loft. Then we ate chips.
And Vicky brought a guy with her named Patrick. He seems like a nice guy. I think he and Riley know each other from their old middle school.
I hate my mother. I should ask the Goblin King (aka David Bowie) to take her away, just for Saturday night, so that I can go bowling.
I hate my mother. She's nosy as hell, and always finds a way to guilt-trip me.
I hate my mother. In an argument (or a Very Loud Debate), she always thinks she's right and will not acknowledge that, perhaps, someone else might have a good point.
I hate my mother. She focused on turning my brother into a genuis while I was stuck simplifying fractions while HE got to do friggin' GEOMETRY!!!!!
...did I mention that I hate my mother? ;)

Lazy week
I have been ridiculously lazy this week... then again, it hasn't been the happiest week for me.
I did get some reading done. I finished Artemis Fowl, and I've probably read a quarter, or nearly a quarter, of Twilight. I have even more things to pick up from the library - two knitting books (!!!), the Oxford Guide to Literary Britain and Irelend (that'll be cool), a Historical Atlas of Toronto, a book on the Great Depression (by the one and only Pierre Berton!)and three CDs (a Bryan Adams compilation called So Far So Good, a Pink Floyd album called Ummagumma, and the Monterey International Pop Festival album). I also have another knitting book in transit.
And I'm still waiting on that darn Peter Gabriel album! Whoever has it out is taking their sweet time.
I watched a documentary I'm borrowing from the library. It's about the Beatles film Magical Mystery Tour. I thought it was the actual film I was borrowing. But the documentary was okay. It and the Elton John DVD are overdue, so I have to go to the library tomorrow.
Why is it that all my library holds are arriving in groups of at least five lately?!
As I mentioned in my latest Facebook note, I find it funny when the music I'm listening to goes good with the book I'm reading. Like today, I was reading Twilight, and at the part where Bella is in the forest behind her dad's house, I'm listening to R.E.M. I also find it funny - and odd - that I tend to listen to the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack when I read Twilight :p

Another funny
I forgot to mention something funny that happened at Costco.
Dad started looking at computers, because he wants to replace this one (it is at least five years old). So we were trying to crack the passwords on the computers. I couldn't get the first one, but the second one I tried to crack had a picture of a kitty as the user photo, so either my mom or my dad suggested that I try 'kitty'. It worked! But the computers were set up so that you can't access them even if you get the password right. It was still awesome, though :)
Mom and Dad went shopping while I stayed home and watched the David Gilmour DVD. When they came home, Dad immediately asked me to take frozen macaroni and cheese and frozen Jamacian patties to the downstairs freezer. I tried to put them in the big freezer, where frozen meals normally go, but it's packed. With meat. That they bought and sealed up with the Foodsaver vac-packer. So I got all PO'ed, and Mom told me to put it all in the bread freezer. So after complaining that the bread's gonna shatter, I put it in anyway. Then Dad storms downstairs, ready for an argument. Honestly, does he always have to be in attack mode when I'm angry? He could have spoken to me civilly. One of the baskets in the frezzed slips when I'm angrily trying to put it back in, so he says to let him do it. I'm trying to fix the problem, and he yells at me to get out of there and let him fix it. Typical.
And afterwards they gave me three packs of Pocky. Pocky are these biscuit sticks covered in chocolate, or strawberry cream, but I'm pretty sure that there are other flavours that we can't get here. They're made in Japan, and they're yummy. Plus, they aren't completely covered in chocolate - one tip is just bare biscuit so that your hand doesn't get messy! How awesome is that?
Anyway, Mom wanted me to apologize first, so I did. I did overreact, probably because I was in a rotten mood. The DVD skipped on a track or two, and I had to pause it a few times because the dogs were barking.
And now I'm listening to U2 :)

Some 'me time'.
I apologize if this post looks a little disjointed. My mind is still a little foggy.
So, I still have that cold, and I'm still mad at Erica. The last few days have not been the most pleasant ones, after all the crap that's been going on. I just need to relax, only I keep dwelling on it all.
I still read on my bed with music on. It seems to be great therapy. The other day I listened to the Elton john CD I have out of the library, which is called Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player. It has Crocodile Rock on it, which is great 'cause it cheers me up.
I've also been watching season one of Gilmore Girls, also borrowed from the library. I forgot how much I love that first season. Rory was so young, Dean was so cute (and he wasn't a jerk back then!)... Jess hasn't appeared yet, though. I can't remember which season he first appears in. And it's been so long since I've seen the first season that, when the folks in the Ravelry group were talking about Max Medina, I couldn't remember that character much, just that scene in the drugstore where he runs into Lorelai. So when I started watching season one yesterday, I got to see more of Max Medina, and he's pretty good-looking. I don't know why I forgot about him except for the drugstore scene... then again, I was quite young when I started watching the series.
Speaking of Maxes, I got to talk to Max-who-used-to-go-to-youth-group on MSN. We didn't talk much, though. Holly was on for a bit, and Justin, too. Erica was also on, but I didn't say much to her.
I managed to watch two discs of Gilmore Girls yesterday, and I plan on starting disc three today. I have to get out of the house soon, though... only I don't know where I'd go. Maybe Value Village, to find clothes for Christmas. I plan on putting together a punk outfit for the holiday season :) I'd also like to look for plain skirts, since I find I wear jeans far too often. And I could probably use a pair of black pants, and a pair or two of jeans... I have to look in my pants drawer before I get jeans, though, because I may have a pair or two that I never wear... like those greeny blue ones that look weird on me. They can be laundry day pants, though...
I forgot to mention this morning. I got up at a decent time, with a stuffy nose, and remembered that I needed to put my duvet cover in the wash, along with some other clothes. I probably have to check on the washing machine soon, actually.
Edited because I didn't have the CD title exactly right.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I didn't get to the library yesterday. And now it looks like I might not get to the library today, either. 'Cause mom says that we don't have to go to the library today, we can go tomorrow, she'll give me change for the fine on Quadrophenia, yadda-yadda-yadda!!!!!! But wait, there's more...
She started yapping about the lack of tradespeople again. Are you interested in a trade, she askes. I told her what I want to do!
I WANT TO BE A RADIO DJ. NOT A BRICKLAYER, NOT A MILLWRIGHT, A RADIO DJ!!!!!!!!!!
...I feel better now.
So Momma's gonna watch her DVDs today. I'll probably read one of my library books while she's watching her library stuff. Maybe I'll even slap on the headphones.
I forgot to mention that when I was playing Final Fantasy VIII, I was getting lost a lot. I was in a tomb where you get lost easily. There's a side-quest in the tomb, and I started it by finding Sacred and beating him up. I left the rest of the side-quest til later, because I have to go to Deling City to tell the man what the Student ID number in the tomb was. All I have to do, once I get a chance to go back to the tomb, is find Sacred's brother and beat him up, too. Then I get the Brothers Guardian Force. Yay!
I still have to use the lamp and fight Diablo. I tried before, without success, but now that my main characer, Squall, has higher HP (yaaaay HP-Junction!), I think my party has a chance. And when I do get Diablo, I'll give him a cutesy name. How about...
Fluffy!

STILL haven't gone to the library...
...But it's not my fault! A DVD is in transit, so my mom said that we'll go tomorrow. I think. I don't even know if the DVD will be in tomorrow. Sometimes they take forever to come in, other times they zip right in the library and on the shelf, waiting for me to pick it up and check it out. So, if I do go tomorrow, I'll have to pay 50 cents in fines for my two DVDs. I only watched one DVD, because the other, season one of Torchwood, I had reserved for my mom, because I was sure that she said that she missed some episodes on CBC. Oh well.
But when I do get to the library, I'll have two knitting books waiting for me, along with a book called Best Books for Young Adults and three CDs.
I have an icky stomach from eating chili, even though I mixed mild chili with Dynamite Hot Stagg chili. Bah. I think I'm gonna nead another glass of chocolate soy milk when The Battle of Evermore by Led Zeppelin has finished.

Bored out of my mind
The good news, though, is that I'm on a two-week break from math :)
Plus, I have a good-sized stack of CDs to listen to, thanks to the library. Only problem is, I'm worried that I won't get through all of them. But why should I worry? I'll get through them. I only have Robert Johnson, The Rolling Stones and the rest of Jeff Healey to listen to. R.E.M., Ringo and The Doors are already listened to. I'll probably take The Doors back soon, though.
I watched Becoming Jane yesterday - I'm borrowing it from the library, too - and I loved it. A good knitting movie. I worked on my mobius wrap yesterday, and it's looking nice.
And now I'm listening to Queen. Exscuse me while I quote from Wayne's World...
"How about a little Bohemian Rhapsody?"
"Good call!"

Sweet, sweet music
So in a previous post I asked you, dear reader, about songs that remind you of moments in your life or scenes from movies. I shall list all of the songs that bring back memories...
Songs and memories:
While My Guitar Gently Weeps, covered by Jeff Healey: Reminds me of Jeff Healey's death, and how it hit me hard. They say that the music died when Buddy Holly died, but for me the music seemed to die or almost die when Jeff Healey passed.
Twist and Shout, covered by The Beatles: Reminds me of the parade scene from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Hot Blooded by Foreigner: Reminds me of a Diet Pepsi commercial... the dude trying to get into his old jeans... :)
Summer of '69 by Bryan Adams: Reminds me of a funny moment at a youth group meeting.
There's probably a lot of other songs, but I can't think of them.
So, I'm gonna take that Zeppelin book back to the library. It's called Led Zeppelin In Their Own Words, compiled by Paul Kendall. I love the photos in it. It's the only copy that the library has, and I think it's out of print. I also have to pick up Becoming Jane, season one of Torchwood, and the complete recordings of Robert Johnson.
Plus, the tent sale at the LYS is coming up :D :D :D

Aching :(
What a fascinating dilemma. My stomach is aching, but I don't feel sick - it's more like a muscle pain, like I pulled a muscle or got kicked really hard. But I haven't been to karate recently, so I assume that I pulled a muscle. My right shin is also aching a little.
On the upside, I watched The Best of the Muppet Show today while working on my ruff. My mom's borrowing The Best of the Muppet Show and The Muppet Show, Season 1 from the library. We watched the first disc of season 1 of the Muppet Show as well. Also, the first season of Cowboy Bebop is in transit, and so is the soundtrack from Shine a Light. So I'm really happy about that.
I also made a mix CD of calming music - stuff like The Battle of Evermore by Led Zeppelin, and If by Pink floyd, among other songs. I'll listen to it when I'm reading, or knitting, or doing algebra, and I'll probably listen to it before going to bed, to help me sleep.

Cake!
So yesterday was my mom's birthday. I got her a Cuisinart food processor with a mini chopper included, and my dad got her a camera case and a mini tripod. For dinner we went to an awesome Mexican restaurant. It's not one of those places where they only do tacos, burritos, gorditas, etc. It's a really good restaurant, and after eating their calamari appetizer, I don't think I'll be able to eat calamari anywhere else.
I was going to go to youth group last night (it got changed to Thursday this week), but I was so tired. I've been feeling really tired since Wednesday morning. So, at the restaurant, my mom asked me if I wanted to go to youth group or if I just wanted to go straight home. I was bawling in the restaurant because I didn't want to let anyone down, but I was so tired - I felt like I hadn't gotten enough sleep. So I went home. I'm glad I did.
My mom's birthday cake is really yummy - lemon and white chocolate. I had some for breakfast.
I feel better today. I'm probably going to go to the library today, because I have two DVDs to go back, and a CD to pick up.

It's DONE! YAH!
The evil hairy mohair scarf is done. All it needs is the ends woven in, some blocking and something on the ends, like tassles or a fringe. I'll take photos when I can.
I also have to block my swatch scarf. My mom says we can block it during the weekend, which is awesome. I'm so glad that that evil mohair is off my size 6 needles.
I'll probably work on my vest tonight. I have a DVD to watch - the Jeff Healey Band Live at Montreux - so I can watch that while knitting.
My ankle is still aching, but other than that, I feel a bit better now that my scarves are finished and my stomach is full of sugar.

I feel ugh.
I am in no way motivated today. I feel like I have a million things to do, except I don't, really. I do have a library DVD to watch, but it's gonna be late going back. Oh well, the library'll get a quarter, or if it's two days late, two quarters!
I woke up this morning feeling a bit thirsty, but not wanting to get out of bed. So when I finally dragged myself out of bed and got upstairs, I drank some water and watched the morning news for a bit, talked to my mom about Britney Spears and Michael Jackson, then went on the computer, where I read an e-mail about the youth service at the Unitarian church. My mom reckons that I feel awful because of all the pollen - which would explain the sneezing at the computer.
I think I'll be able to watch the DVD today. Maybe not this morning, but sometime today. I'll probably watch it in the evening, when I seem to, I don't know, thrive, I guess.
Maybe I'm just not a morning person.
Maybe I need to watch some Muppet Show clips on YouTube.
Maybe I should stop saying 'maybe'.
