My sister phoned me right when I was called from the line at Tim Hortons. It's really a blessing when your close enough to your siblings that your teenage sister will willingly be put on hold for caffeine and confectioneries.
Trying super super hard to not spill my double-double all over my laptop. Being a klutz can really suck sometimes. It's already all over my boot. Blech.
Sitting in the Brown Family House of Learning building at TRU, lovingly christened 'The Brown HOL' (or simple 'the HOLE') by students. Despite the feces-related nickname, the building is actually quite beautiful. It's modern architectural features are striking, and the eco-elements like the bio-wall (a 4-story wall waterfalled in moss and flowers) adds a fresh touch to the atmosphere. I'd say it'd be calm and quiet, if not for the Timmies. But, hey, it's 2011. We're 'mostly' eco-friendly.
It's 4:26pm and I'll soon need a flashlight. Winter can be annoying. Aside from the cold and the wind and the, well, cold, it get's dark as soon as I deem myself visually fit to leave my dorm.
Something has come up. I'll finish this in a few hours.

My friend Natalie is heading to a Fraternity dinner tonight with another close friend, Travis. He's a really sweet man. He asked Natalie's boyfriend permission to take her to dinner. Very much a gentleman. She requested that I do her makeup for tonight. For the past 3 months, that has been my duty as friend - to do her 'going-out' makeup. I don't mind, of course. It's a nice way to practice and test my skills. And she's always looked gorgeous, so I think I am entitled to an A+. He just picked her up, wearing a silver tie. How thoughtful of him to match her jewelry. It's too bad that he's not my type, because he's a damn good catch.
Listening to: Ablaze by Armchair Cynics"You're the picture in the locket, the gun in the chest."
I am going to sit and visit with my friend Heather for a bit and chat, then I'll go forth and do my dirty laundry. Yes, it must be done. It's been a while, and I need socks.
