lately, i feel like everything is moving along at much too fast of a pace. the days go by so quickly, and the faster they go, the slower i live, as if doing this will make everything else slow down too. two days ago, i was at my mom's office (he-ey..i'm there now! how 'bout that.) and had plenty of time to get my muzak history done, and some ISU book reading. i did nothing but talk to a couple of random people on msn. i probably would have left earlier if half of them hadn't been people i haven't talked to since last summer. it was strange how all of them started conversations suddenly. i wanted to skip year five day so i could recover from whatever unexistant crap i'm imagining. i went anyways, and i suppose i'm glad i did. then afterwards, i had plenty of time to get stuff done, but of course, i did nothing. you know when you're feeling sulky, and so you act like a pain in the ass just to piss other people off? that was what i was feeling, except not towards any real people, but towards time and the fast-pace of everything. so i sat around and ate my supper for what must have been 3 and a half hours. i sat down to do some homework at 11:00pm, but took a nap for 40 minutes instead. then my mom was telling me to get to bed, but instead i did the "five more minutes!" "ten more minutes!" "one more minute!". she gave up, and at 12:00am i woke up and did all my leftover work until about 2:00am, which isn't really all that bad.. then i glanced at my agenda and realized that half of the stuff i just finished wasn't due until the end of the week. oh the face slapping that was due. so i was wide awake at that time, and took a long shower. you'd think i'd want to get to sleep right away, but i was acting like an ass for no good reason.
i fell asleep at 3:14 and i remember this because after setting my alarms really loud, i looked at the clock and thought "hey, pi." then slept.
when i woke up, it was bright out, but not the fresh sunny annoying knife in the head bright that i usually wake up to. it was this dull sleepable bright, which made me really worried. i looked at the clock, and it was 3:00. i thought "you're fucking kidding me" and fell asleep again. then i woke up at 3:14, and i remember this because i looked at the clock again and thought "hey, pi." again. then i marvelled at how amazing it is to fall asleep and wake up at pi.
i'm going to toronto on a train by myself tomorrow at lunch. for some reason, this really impresses my mom. i wonder how much the taxi to bville is going to cost.
i've forgotten so many good memories and experiences. when i'm there, i always think "i'll always remember what this was like." but i never do for more than a month. which is actually pretty sad. i guess that's why people take pictures. because they think they'll remember everything when they see the picture. but that doesn't work. well, not for me.
if only i weren't so lazy. i would have kept journals. actually, i think i did. and i never look at them. when i do, it's all point form and doesn't really make sense. they are just keywords, as if i'd remember after seeing the word.
-shopping pier 5.
-fish smell.
-necklace.
-$10 camera!!
-funny old man.
like that.
now you know what it's like to shop at the fisher's market in New York.
it's raining outside. and it bangs against these windows like an angry mother.
there's a huge "sinkhole" in the parking lot, from all the beer trucks that load there for Wahoo's. i say wahoo's should pay for it, since it's their beer trucks, and cause their customers steal all our parking anyways. my mom says "meh". my dad would have thrown a fit. he was always really big on keeping our parking spots for patients. i remember being in the car with him and andrew, and he had a ... well...unhappy incident with tara's dad, when wahoo was then the gatekeeper's or something. and her dad said something and andrew rolled down the window and yelled something really funny but mean at him. i dont' remember what it was, but it ended in "eh, bud?" which sounded rediculous coming from him. my dad was all "let it go" which was strange.
anyways. how was that for memories? i forget the meaningful ones, but remember the pointless ones. or DO i?! oooOOOO!!
if wahoo doesn't pay for the hole, they should give us their beer trucks.
my mom is calling patients and telling them how their lab results are. i think she should be paid for all this paperwork and crap she does that the secretaries are supposed to do. she would agree. but probably not do anything about it. i guess there's nothing you can do.
i'm going to see everyone (almost) again, on saturday. crommie wont' be there.
i must find my fish keychains. give one to dayna.
i should get my china pictures developped right away. one of our many tour guides, kevin, could read palms. he told me that:
-i would get a disease, but survive it. my life line on my right palm is severed, then starts again.
-he looked at my marriage line and said "whoa! so many! hahaha" then told me i'd have at least 3 boyfriends before getting married.
he even wore a
scarf around his neck, tied in an ascot. he looked and laughed like
speed racer. josie and i tried to get a picture of him without him knowing. he was in front of a ginko biloba tree and we kept yelling that we were taking pictures of the tree (yah..17 pictures of a tree) but my camera was suspiciously aimed at the trunk of the tree, right in kevin's face. he kept turning around to look at the tree, so josie stood on the other side and took pictures of him turned. later, i told him what we were doing and he said he knew. eep.
my mom got an email from my uncle, who said that in hong kong, they traced the pneumonia to one hotel lobby. she said to me: "they traced the pneumonia to the hotel lobby where your grandparents are" and scared me shitless. if my grandparents, who are still in hong kong, and who eat out every day, get the disease ... they're so frail and old ... after reading what he actually wrote, i left and cried.
my mom's parents are really funny. everytime we visit my grampa, he's in a crisply ironed dress shirt and boxers. my gramma is always dressed in layers, and sitting down. she's such a firecracker though. she gets jealous really easily, and has the snarkiest facial expressions when she argues. when we're alone, she always tells me to be good to my mom. which makes me wonder what my mom tells her.
