*yawn* sleeeeeeeeepy. had dinner with cath at a mexican restaurant in HV, cos it's her birthday tomorrow. *smirk cat* i forgot to say this just now, but tomorrow you are... no longer a teen. *smirks more* i still have a few months! whee!

anyway.

spoke to dr zaman today, and she managed to add 20 or so items to my 'to do' list, most of which i don't have the energy to cope with right now. it's very frustrating, when i do have energy and really want to start planning for this, that and the other, i'm stuck at work doing mindless data entry. when i'm bloody tired and lethargic, like now, when i can still cope with the mindless things, i'm supposed to start researching, which takes energy and interest. bleh!

but yes, the upshot is that i should concentrate on the canadian unis. if i can. sigh. back to emailing then i suppose.

pinched this from lindsay's site:

About 10 years ago I...
1. had just changed primary school
2. got full marks for a math final exam, probably for the last ever time
3. was getting A's for chinese
4. lacked confidence
5. had an extremely ultra short haircut

About 5 years ago I...
1. just started chasing (with *cringe* aaron carter *grin linds*).
2. was a huge BSB fan, fallout from that is still apparent.
3. left school
4. started failing Chinese miserably
5. loathed St Margarets with a passion. (still do as a matter of fact)

About 2 years ago I...
1. was suffering through immunology classes (however, under the delightful Dr Ramsey, which helped somewhat)
2. had a massive crush on some unfortunate or other
3. was in the grip of the whole a1 thing
4. was slowly adjusting to poly life
5. had lost any and all remnants of chinese-speaking/reading/writing ability

About 1 year ago I...
1. Was working in Scotland
2. Developed a hell of a lot more confidence
3. Learnt the rudiments of cooking out of necessity
4. Stayed in a lot of rundown, ramshackle places
5. Acquired very expensive tastes in clothing and accessories *glares accusingly at peiyi*

Today I...
1. am not-so-patiently waiting to leave this country
2. am wondering what exactly it is that i want to do with my life
3. am going a bit loopy over Utt, which was quite unexpected
4. had a nice conversation with a nice, good looking guy, who is very unfortunately not my type
5. almost tied my fingers in knots while chatting with anna

Tomorrow I will...
1. Go to work.
2. Suffer.
3. Get RSI from all the typing.
4. Try not to fall asleep.
5. Overdose on chocolate.

Five things I can't live without...
1. Music.
2. The Internet.
3. Books.
4. Money.
5. Chocolate.

right. imagine, if you will, myself up to my elbows in dead chicken. (i know, i know, just -try-, okay?)

also, imagine the following comments:

"Cut off it's head? What, just like that? Poor chicken."
"Muuuuuum, i'm mutilating this chicken!"
"Ooh, look, is that it's lung?" *snip* "Ooh, non-smoking chicken."
"Should I take out the other lung?"
"Oh, gross, I just split its ribcage!"

And, you have a fair idea of my evening. *shudder*

however, did meet him today. for dinner. very little residual feeling, i'm glad to report. though it could all flare up again, like those trick birthday candles. still think he's pretty hot. ;)

and saw Utt at the Heeren. *slight squeal, then looks rather embarrassed* i was totally calm on stage though, as usual. *grin* but damn he's hot. *fans self* nice guy too. and -very- nice to hug. *laugh* hope that pic with him turns out okay. *crosses fingers*
