Oh this was way too fun. Definitely gift certificates to book stores are awesom0. I think I will ask for ones to BMV in the future. My sister got me a $50 gift cert to chapters yesterday and I just spent it all this morning online on the following.

The Metamorphosis And Other Stories - Paperback
Disney Princess The Enchanted Castle Pop-up Book - Hardcover (for my niece in the future)
Heart of Darkness and Selected Short Fiction (Barnes & Noble Classics Series)
Kafka: The Complete Stories - Paperback
Interpol Remix [EP] * - Compact Disc
Handwriting by Ondaatje Book & Cassette - Audio Format

I'm so excited to get them within the next month. I also got the Centenial Edition of East of Eden from Alexzander. And am halfway through The Trouble with Physics. W00t, W00t at all my new books.

This somewhat makes up for the fact I lost Baboudjian's book. I'm on my way to recreating the thought process and improving on it. After a little bit (or rather a lot) of Steinbeck and Ondaatje's English Patient, then I'll be prepared to scribble through For The Time Being and make it may own just like Almazy did with his book.

i need to make a detail schedule. i've never had so many things to do over a holiday. wow, me socializing, can't say i dislike it.

I wouldn't mind being so busy if i didn't have to take even more time to make up for delays from the weather.

went over to abi's today to finish filming our canada's next top model audition. i know, i know, really sandra? but yeah, it was pretty fun taking pictures with abi. brittany did make-up.

she has SO much make up.

i also gave them my christmas prez and they gave me mine. i got some uber cool angel wing earrings from brittany. abi probably gave me the awesomest christmas present of my life thus far. i got a ryuk doll, an L poster from deathnote and some nail polish. but really the ryuk doll killed me, it's so cute. i'm going to smother it with hugs.

looks like i will probably be spending christmas day on my own. i don't feel like heading out to scarborough to spend it with my sister after getting home late. if ted's gone back to cleveland to visit family, maybe i can face my fears finally.

wishlist

I realized i left my "for the time being" by anne dillard which mrs. baboudjian gave to me and i have personal momentos in, and franz kafka shorts anthology book at dave's which i will shortly ask him to return but that's a long shot. :|

Because Alexz wanted me to write down a list of things i wanted for christmas so he can choose one. This is the first time I've ever done this. The whole sharing my wishlist concept is foreign to me.

wishlist (in no particular order)

- interpol remix cd: Link

and omg there's also a string quartet TRIBUTE to interpol. "this album will lead to less dancing and more romancing." excellent (as if you could make interpol more romancing). Link.

- silver coloured snake short neck-chain

- over the knee socks that actually fit my height! lol.

- flower scent body wash

- pair of 16 gauge ear stud/ring

- goth/lace choker

- garter belt

- any type of funky/argyle stockings (size: 140lb; 5'7")

- any book/magazine physics/biology/biophysics related as long as it's not a textbook, lol.

- water colour paint set, paper, or brushes

- "east of eden" steinbeck centenial edition from penguin books (my grade 12 english isu novel. so freaken long and beautiful)

- any novel by michael ondaatje that is not the english patient

I can't think of anything else and I'm sure that's more than enough to choose from.

I finished reading "the Pearl" by steinbeck today. That author never fails to disappoint me. The ease at which his character and setting descriptions read, his portrayal of forgotten but relatable communities, and the ever stark despondent realistic endings he writes are so satisfying.

i did a very selfish thing today. I bought a $200 doc marten boots because i got sick of seeing the same type of boots in the stores. anyways, i shall have to cut back on the other extra crap i want to get (sigh, interpol remix cd, you will just have to wait my precious). also i lost my cell phone again, but i think i will just go and renew my contract for a free phone (hopefully not a flip one, i'm tired of those).

clubbing:
i'm still going out this weekend, to ebm night at basement and rvm at savage garden. both after work. i'm going to a rave at downsview for new years because i'm dying to dance to happy-core and jungle. in february, b-day month, going to go see combichrist hopefully and darkrave aftershow. then i think i will like to dress up for a fet masquerade.

i need to make an appointment for the optometrist. i need to get contacts if i want to go to the concert and see people when i'm window modeling, and probably a back up pair of glasses. i would like to get coloured contacts if my finances are ok. should i get violet or amber? i'm avoiding natural colours because frankly i rather like my dark irises, but i heart hazel or light brown on guys. i most likely will wait in getting them and just get regular ones for occasions like concerts.

now back to your regular schedule programming of calc.

i keep insisting to do things in a certain way but end up not following through. it only ends well part of the time. i really have to try harder to not be a douchebag.
