My wonderful bro works at the Vancouver Island Brewery, and every Xmas time they release this wonderful beer. It is 9.5 % and tastes so delicious. I wish I had one right now…..

Your life is simultaneously flowing in two realms today. On one hand, you are floating in the sweet dreams of your imagination. On the other hand, you have too much data to efficiently use what you know. Instead of pushing for a solution, explore ways to integrate your feelings with your rational thoughts.

All I can think about it getting away for Christmas holiday’s….I still have 2 exams to go but it is soo hard to study for them….I can’t wait to see the fam again, all my friends and Matt….It is soo close but I still have so much to do before then….I am too excited……
New favourite tea!…This stuff is so good, I am addicted….AHHH…tomorrow is moving day…better go pack…..
Woohoo!….It is finally time to take some photos……I am hoping for some SUN tomorrow!!
WOO!…..except I can’t load the bloody thing. I don’t know if it is a problem with the camera or with me, but I have wasted 4 rolls of film trying to load it. So frustrating……and it is taking all my effort not to try another roll…..but I am going to take it to the photography teacher at school tomorrow. I have waited this long I guess I can wait one more day…..grrrrr.
Any thoughts or ideas?….It is the Diana+

I really wish this weekend didn’t have to end. It was so hard to come back to Kelowna after 4 wonderful days, and 4 even better nights. Now I am back to doing what feels like a million school projects…..but the good news is in just over a month now I will be done for the Holidays!!…..Really can’t wait….

I am really not prepared for winter to come yet. Haha I bought some knitting needles the other day though, seems like a good winter pass time…although maybe I should try and make something a little more exciting than another scarf.

Woo woop!….The whole school is power-less….why couldn’t this have happened last week when I was dying from white wine poisoning! Today Kassi and I find out if we get the apartment we looked at on Friday….fingers crossed. And I am still waiting for my fun camera to get here. Hopefully it will come before I go to Vancouver next weekend. So this is the first time in like 6 years that I don’t have a job…and it is enjoyable…but I am soo used to having all this extra money for fun and for shopping. It is amazing how fast it goes when nothing is coming back in, and I am not the kind of person who can live the poor student lifestyle. Especially since my passion for shopping has only gotten stronger, which is funny because I never really used to be like that. So as nice as it is not to work, and to have tons of time for school….I think I am going to have to get a job in January. With school and work it should be pretty hectic….but it is better than being bored!

I hate my stupid bitch landlord. About a month ago she told me and my roommate that she was selling the place, and from the beginning she was being weird about it. So finally I called her and asked what was going on, and my main concern was, will we be kicked out? She assured me that we wouldn’t be and she was going to look after her “girls”. So after a month of people just coming into our place and annoying us at random hours of the day, tonight we find out that it has been sold….and guess what….we have to move…..BIIIIIITCH….I wouldn’t have been nearly as annoyed if she had been honest in the first place, but she literally told me not even to think that this would happen. But it has. And to be nice she gave us an extra month to move…sweet….thanks….now we get to move for January 1st…no thanks.

I never really knew how scary it is to find a new hairdresser. But I am in need of a hair fix, so I decided to go with a salon called Cream. Kassi tells me it is known as the best in Kelowna. I loved my Vancouver stylist, but I just can’t wait any longer, and I am not going to have enough time when I am in Van next weekend. I am going in next Tuesday at 2:30pm WOO!
House by the Sea, what do you mean to me?
Bottles here, bottles there
Empty beer bottles everywhere.
Crazy bedrooms, one and all
Oh my God did we have a ball.
Six thousand people in every room
Too much to clear up, forget the broom.
Just grab a drink and come and join us
Nice and dristolled then on the fun bus.
On the 380 in to town
Sing all the way, no time for a frown.
Sing on the streets with a dancing penguin
Give us a dollar and we’ll let you join in.
With Sid & Gip & Colin & Gay
Time for a quiet one…not today.
Cami, Amanda, Daz & Rob
Too busy drinking, no time for a job.
Sara the bitch from the United States
Maria the Dutchy who never eats steaks.
Yuta our fucked up Japanese friend
Whenever you’re here the laughter wont end!
The G’s will pop round from time to time
Never declining a glass of wine.
So many boxes of stanley we drank
So many bottles of spirits we sank.
Shithead and asshole and games on the floor
Get’s you so fucked but…eh just one more.
Night-time swimming, too dark to see
When you’re all swimming naked who cares? Not me.
Ultimate destruction, who needs shower curtains?
JUst pull it down, someone’ll mend it for certain.
Bella Pasta; I’m gonna spread it you know
After a rip-snort you’ll give it a go.
So many randoms so many friends
Sooner or later it’s all got to end.
But this is Bondi, our heart and our home
With everyone here you’re never alone.
The music still blasting from every room
We all say goodbye, but will meet again soon.

I just wanted to mention Burger King. Cami is the only one who will ever truly know what that means!

Edwin Van Der Sar is the goalie for the Dutch football team. He is amazingly good. He has been playing for the Dutch team longer than any other player and is their captain. He has so much passion when he plays, and makes watching games very intense. And I know I hope he will be around for South Africa, 2010.

So not having had cable for such a long time I forgot how addictive TV can be. I already asked Matt to tell me to turn off the tube if I am not watching one of the shows listed. But I think if something is written down it is more likely to actually happen.
1. House
2. Nip/Tuck
3. Dexter
4. Entourage
5. CSI
6. Any documentaries that aren’t completely useless.
And that should be it…..we’ll see.
