Current Music: The Who - Baba O'Riley Subject: i am just writing... i would be talking, but as you know... i have no phone. Time: 12:42 am Current Mood: chatty

I am not much of a TV person - I like to have my America's Next Top Model and My Name is Earl (I love that show just because Jason Lee is one of my favorite actors) fix each week but other than that I find most (if not all) the shows on TV to be trash. I used to be a CSI fan, but last season didn't impress me so I haven't really bothered watching this season. However, with this new TV Show DVD craze I am finding myself lost. All the shows from my past that I LOVED are making a comeback. The Pretender, Northern Exposure, Quantum Leap, Sex & The City, M*A*S*H, X-Files, Star Trek: TNG (I feel no shame writing that I love that show), ER... it seems like every show puts out a DVD set and they are so freakin' expensive it makes my head spin! The Beat Goes On wanted $80 per season of the X-files - that is used folks! Insanity. But I am such a DVD fan. I love them. The idea of being able to pop in a DVD of my favorite show from a decade ago excites me. I ordered the first season of ER from the beat goes on today for 24$ and that includes the shipping cost of them sending it to me. Can you believe it? They actually ship things across the country now. I got an e-mail from the staff at the Beat Goes On Call Center informing me that the cardboard box of my ER box set was not in the greatest condition and warn away. They wanted to know if I still wanted to place the order. I had already given them my credit card information and everything and yet they still e-mailed me to make sure I still wanted it. Can you believe that!? I love the beat... just love 'em. I bought it nonetheless, it is the DVDs I care about anyway. I have a large DVD case that I keep everything in; I don't even use the boxes or cases. Books, DVDs, Rocks. My apartment is full of all three. The three things that I just can't stop collecting. Right now my book collection is probably the most expensive habit I have, although, some of my rocks are getting pricey. I spent $60 on this GORGEOUS piece of Chyrsocolla and Malachite from the "mine of stars" in Katanga, Zaire. I have started to buy my own equipment so that I can gather, polish and shape my own rocks and minerals. That sounds so much exciting. But now with this TV craze DVD thingie it seems that my three habits will be in competition with each other. What is the point of this post you may ask? Nothing... absolutely nothing.

It is suppose to be raining for the rest of the week, but today is gorgeous. I thought I'd walk down to the harbor and around downtown and then up to Walmart and Michael's. I need Halloween stuff and more spoons. I watched Charley Browns, Garfields and The Care Bears Thanksgiving Specials yesterday. It made me happy and brought up my mood from the horrors I survived on Sunday. Sophie and I are going to go pumpkin picking and then later in the week I am going to decorate her house for halloween because she's getting to old to do it. Halloween makes me happy. I wish I had some people around here that would accept my baking treats. Sophie claims she has no friends that would want them. Ho hum. Maybe I could take them down to the homeless shelter. I'll ask around and see if that would be okay.

i called home today and heard them meowing on the other end. if my anti-pet apartment wasn't so cheap and in a beautiful location i'd leave, but i haven't found anything as great as what i've got now for $500. i've lived with animals my whole life it feels strange to be in a house with none it feels lonely maybe i'll get a gold fish. my landlord can't protest that, it's just a fish damnit. i miss the kw book exchange i have yet to find an equivalent i am thinking of starting my second tattoo - although I have no idea what shop to go to. it took so long to find Eternal and Paul did such a good job on my back piece. i think he should fly out here twice a month to work on me - it's okay, i tip well. i find it funny that i am thinking about my tattoo project and yet i might not be able to afford food soon. i wish that money tree i planted would start growing because i do not want to find a job. i enjoy my days of exploring the city and spending too much time at the library. i wish it could just go on like that. it could, if that quarter i planted would grow. grow damn you.

well... i'm done. a college graduate. diploma to be issued soon. i now have more education then 50% of north america. i don't feel good though. i don't feel that excited or relief that it is all over. honestly, i felt like crap. i opted for retail therapy instead of waiting around to see what the other college graduates were doing after our last exam. i gave my only real friend a nod and a smile and he whispered "good luck" - that's good enough for me. so now, i have my new book on house plants and my 7 new dvds (HMV was having a sale). maybe watching a good movie will lift my spirits.

My stay at Conestoga College is just about finished which delights me to no end. It is not positive whether or not I will get my Diploma because of the lack of effort I put in this semester - but I will have my certificate so not all is lost. I have one class I am worried about, but it seems that I am very good at convincing teachers/professors to give me better grades than I deserve. I am not worried even though I should be a little. Andrew and I start our scuba diving course next week. I am very excited about that. I bought my booties and fins on Friday and Andrew gave me my snorkel and mask for Christmas. The course comes with three dives at different depths. I'm not sure where we are going, but I am sure it will be awesome. Our instructor is planning a diving trip up to Ohio sometime in the summer. Supposedly they have awesome shipwrecks and underwater caves. Providing I pass my class, I just might be able to go. With what I am reading about Victoria, there are lots of diving sites available down there as well. I think I will join a club so that I can explore every so often. I should be studying for my exam, but all I can think about it planting my geraniums I bought last week. I have a planter and they are going on my windowsill. If they get enough light there I just might buy some more.

i dreamt last night of donuts. my sister, brother and i on our way somewhere but we stopped at this coffee shop for sweets. they were huge; covered in glaze and chocolate and sprinkles. my sister and i split one that was full of this fluffy filling and we talked about which one we would bring home with us for later. my brother ate this huge chocolate filled, glaze covered, sprinkled mess and asked me which one my mother would want. Sour Cream Glazed i replied after looking over them all. am i on a carb/sweet withdrawal? i think my subconscious is trying to tell me something...
