| So I am back. Back and ready for a new start. As I posted a "few" weeks ago, my friends' or people who read my journal list needed some revising. I have taken 9 people out of that list tonight but if you are one of those and tell me you really did enjoy reading my journal I'll add you back.
My journal needed a fresh new start. I guess a new school year, or my birthday work well as a starting point. Looking back I felt that my journal had become a bit too much of a diary or a news updating vessel. I don't want that. I don't like that. It had to change. I'm not one of those people who will write everyday and I may even skip some weeks, but that is mostly because I like to write about ideas, feelings, ideologies and ways of life. A person is not always inspired to write about those things.
So in the same manner that I invite people who I took out of my friends list to speak up if they feel like getting back on that list, I invite those who remained and feel like dropping me to go ahead and do it now... or forever listen to my babbling.
I guess that's it for now... I'll come back later to bitch about being one year older and not feeling like celebrating, unlike most baboons out there. | comments: 5 Spaces or Your Space   |
| The last couple of weeks have been pretty crazy. Between visiting museums, walking all over Montreal and overcoming my fear of rivers the computer hasn't seen much of me. Although I don't mind that at all for some reason. I am starting to realize I could definitely go without tv and a computer if my life was simply packed with fun outdoorsy things to do. Bah, maybe it's also the fact that I associate work with being at the computer so the motivation to actually get even close to it simply does not exist.
I finally got my vacation... according to many and for many reasons including weather forecasts I should have picked last week instead of this one, but oh well.
The article still hasn't been submitted but soon enough it will. Tuesday we headed off to St-Raymond, Quebec for our little adventure in the river, followed by camping overnight in St-Leonard and a quick visit the next day to Quebec city. That was the plan.
We woke up pretty early... 5am. Everyone was pretty groggy and grumpy. It's a really nice drive... lots of wide open fields, not a lot of traffic. We reached st-raymond around 10:00am, the sky looked threatening. On the drive to the river we were surrounded by fog that still hadn't burnt out. The high humidity and the various little rivers and lakes in the area kept it around until noon. It looked cloudy for most of the morning, we thought we would probably get some rain before the end of our trip down the river.
At our first stop we got the chance to enjoy the beauty of an amazingly tall waterfall, the sun was now out and the skies were clear. A couple of class one rapids numbed my bum and made my heart race a little but after those it became a pretty relaxing trip. We even got a family of ducks to come up to our canoe and accompany us for a little while. Great pics!
As soon as we left the river... literally... the drops start to fall. Now we had an evening in a wet tent to look forward to. Kiki and I even left in the middle of the night to sleep in the car.
We were so tired the next morning that we scratched out the Quebec visit of our plans. Instead we visited St-Raymond, the little town. Kiki introduced us to some of her old friends and we got acquainted with a town that I will definitely want to go back to again.
Back to Montreal. I check my email the next morning. I scream and wake up Alex. I got it! I got it! I said. He smiles, he knew exactly what I was talking about. I got the scholarship from Portugal I had applied for in June. Now if only the department takes that into consideration. I really hope so.
I must have missed updating, or just plainly missed writing... this is a long post. Ok, I'll stop here. The vacation is not over yet, there will be more to update. The rain keeps falling outside though. I wonder what we'll do today... | | comments: 3 Spaces or Your Space |

You have an entrancing kiss~ the kind that leaves
your partner bedazzled and maybe even feeling
he/she is dreaming. Quite effective; the kiss
that never lessens and always blows your
partner away like the first time.
What kind of kiss are you?

| I want to go back home... the more I think about it the more I feel I should just go back. I am tired of school, and getting kicked in the ass so many times and having to get back up again the next day with a smile on my face. Enough! I have proven enough, it's finally time to reap the benefits of whatever I have for now... I don't want this anymore!
Bah, I miss home... | | comments: 4 Spaces or Your Space |

| Someone on my friends list just told me about this great poet... Alix Olson. In her website I found some really neat political poems. I was a bit surprised about seeing this one, so here it is...
armpit hair]
(mammally factual)
©2001 Alix Olson.
There were no seats on the subway
so I had to grab a strap
As I lifted up my arm I heard a scream "what’s that?"
I took a look around,
I thought "there must be something scary".
Like a lion or a tiger or the Virgin Mary?
But then, I noticed they were looking at me.
I heard "oh my gawd! They’re hairy!"
You turn thirteen, they put a razor in your hand
To teach you the difference between a woman and a man.
You see, chicks smooth their pits
so boys can smooth the chicks.
But I was different, I wanted to smooth the chicks,
I wanted to lick their pits!
Armpit Hair! Armpit Hair! (I like it)
Armpit Hair! Armpit Hair! (spike it, spike it!)
I was walking around brooklyn
when these cool guys drove by
They said "we’re looking for a good time baby,
wanna ride?"
I flashed my biggest smile,
I said "hey, sounds like fun"
Then I flash my armpit hair. They turn. They run.
Armpit Hair! Armpit Hair! (it’s a weapon)
Armpit Hair! Armpit Hair! (use discretion)
Well, I hear that the Senate is planning a convention
to pass an amendment
On body hair prevention. I’m planning on attending,
I’ll be sitting in the front row.
I’ll have chains on my pits screaming
"Hell no, it won’t go!"
I’m like Inspector Gadget, when I unfurl my curls
I lasso all the bad guys, then I rope in all the girls.
Well, I figure I owe ‘em cause they saved me
From the clueless and the hairless Patriarchy!
Armpit Hair, Armpit Hair! (you know it)
Armpit Hair! Armpit Hair! (grow it, grow it!)
Well, I want to go to Europe, the land of Brave and Free
Where it’s considered natural for girls to be hairy.
Where gillette don’t make a profit off of
keeping womyn busy
As pleasers with their shavers
and their razors and their tweezers.
So to all the boys and the men
with the furry, furry masses
With the ape like backs
and the very hairy asses.
I don’t find that particularly pretty
So get your opinion out of my hairy pitty.
Armpit hair! (forget..) Armpit hair! (gillette)
Armpit hair! (don’t cut it) Armpit Hair!
(rapunzel swung from it!)
They say, "cut your clits and shave your pits,
and cover your tits!"
We say- bullshit.
Cause I use my curls to be at one with the world
like when I’m out camping
And I lay myself to rest
I sleep with my arms up
so the birdies can nest.
So stop and reconsider just what they consider natural
Cause armpit hair is simply
Mammally Factual.
Now if only that Europe remark was true.... | | comments: 13 Spaces or Your Space |
| I don't know where to start... I feel sad, violated and angry at the same time.
A reminder to all of those out there who have at one point or another stolen a wallet from someone... if you're going to be a fucking asshole at least have the fucking courtesy to simply take the money, or credit cards, but leave the fucking wallet with all of the person's precious documents and photographs behind!!!!!
I hate the fucker who did this to me. I feel guilty for maybe having droped it as I got into the lab this morning and not noticing or for just leaving my bag with my wallet in it right under my desk... but WHAT THE FUCK! If I can't trust the people around my lab, students like me, some of which probably also carry around their debit cards, international ID cards, or permanent residency cards, drivers license, medicare card, health card from whichever country their from, social insurance cards, student cards, pictures of loved ones... WHO THE FUCK CAN I TRUST!!!
I hate this! I hope this person fell on their ass while running outside the building's door and broke a fucking leg.
I'm sad and feeling desperate. I must have checked my bag fifty times today, just to make sure that it really wasn't there. After dinner I went back to the lab to check garbage cans and dumpsters around the place in case this person actually had the common sense to take the money and drop the wallet somewhere. I also talked with security already five times today.
FUCKER!!!
Now I'll have to deal with not being able to leave the country for probably another 6 months, paying fees on every single card I'll have to renew. I'll have to go to the Portuguese consulate and pay another $50 (or more... I can't remember) to redo my portuguese ID. FUCK ME! FUCK MY STUPIDITY! Why the fuck do I carry around a wallet big enough to hold all my cards all the fucking time. This fucking wallet was expensive and ended up being a fucking green flashing juicy light for any fucking idiot who enjoys stealing a measly $40.00.
I fucking hate myself right now. I hate that this had to fucking happen to me. | | comments: 7 Spaces or Your Space |
| Funny how someone would write a post about people getting together, and talking through differences and then block certain people who may have an opposing view from seeing it, or posting on it... I hate hypocrisy! I especially hate when people mistreat my husband. Particularly when I know for a fact he is a much better person and better friend than those who are mistreating him.

In other more positive news... my sickness is almost over. I know most of you didn't even know about it but I got pretty sick this week with food poisoning (rice and beans, who would have thought). I couldn't keep anything in my stomach (or my bowels for that matter) for more than 36 hours, and I had a fever. It was harsh!
But today I was able to eat a muffin and some carrot soup, YAY!
PS. I apologize for not updating but frankly there have been people on livejournal who have been really pissing me off as of late, so I haven't really felt like posting. | | comments: 3 Spaces or Your Space |

I finally did it all. All four copies, printed, bound and labeled. Ready to submit tomorrow morning. What a rush! A new chapter begins. New opportunities, new smiles, a world of possibilities out there. I've jumped, danced, screamed and laughed in joy.
On another positive note... the love of my life managed to surprise me on V-day. I (we) don't care much about Hallmark holidays but this one was especially nice. We had just talked a few days prior that a web-cam would be nice for me to speak to (see) my sister... I never would have imagined he would actually go out and buy one. He surprised me... he always manages to surprise me with love. I almost cried, I really didn't expect anything. He's always thinking of me...
Anyhow... we've been playing around with it and Alex already got some new icons so mine will be coming soon (X rated ones too ;))
And since I believe everyone should be able to live with and commit to whomever they wish and love...
