Just dropped off a statement for teacher's college. Am sitting at the computer missing a meeting (didn't have time to get there after going to west campus). So... in order to entertain, I bring you...
A day in the life of Cat's past
I was reading random old days of my blog. I thought this was hilarious:
Monday, November 11, 2002
I'm a sucker for false advertising. Shall I elaborate?
Liz: That says "Rock-it Red". Did this Rock-it Red?...[pause] Fine. Were you rocked by this red? Cat: umm... not especially? Liz: Sue them! Cat: Wha..? Liz: Well then, you seem have fallen for false advertising. Cat: It's... temporary hair dye. Liz: Were you even freaked by the fushia?
Also, hi. I am going to Jamaica for reading week. Claire, I am mostly telling you this. No more Key West that trip is (probably) off and Maggie is going to go party in Calgary while I am partying in Jamaica. I'm going with the boy. His dad lives there. I don't really know where or anything, but dude... I'm going to the carribean. I am going to go DIVING. Me=happypants.
I'm watching The Fugitive with the boy. It is a good movie. I love Harrison Ford. Not sure why (that's a lie. Star Wars is the reason.),
Cherry and I went to bring me to vote, then her. Here is what happened at her polling station:
Cherry walks over to her polling booth
Cat: I'll wait here and dance! Some EC volunteer: What? Cat: I'm dancing for the democratic process! Some EC volunteer: Nice! Some other EC volunteer: What? Cat: You just missed it. I was dancing for the democratic process. Some EC Girl:(sarcastically) Thanks for coming.
Then, later tonight, I watched results, and made election-night crafts with roomie. The result (on my part):
There was something else funny too. But I forgot. Who cares? I'm on a political ROLL!
The grammar in the intro to this indie label's site actually makes me feel physically ill. After much consideration, back in December I e-mailed them about it, and basically offered to correct it for them. They replied, thanked me, and told me it wouldn't be necessary, because although I am an english major, they actually had an english student - I believe they said a grad student - write it for them. I just checked back, and if it has been fixed a really half-assed job was done. You should seriously all read this. The fact that I will never be that linguistically awkward made my day better.,
I don't MEAN to be a hateful person. It just slips out, sometimes. It's provoked!
That said, claire please ignore what/who I was being an ass about in that email. It isn't nice, even if it might be true-in-my-mind-but-I-can't-remember-exactly-what-I-wrote. But then... you already know that. :),
For some reason, lately, I can't get to bed before three. And it's clearly not the result of sleeping in (as you can see, I'm awake. I have class at 8:30). The result of this is that I'm pretty much eternally tired, and it NEEDS TO STOP or I will never make it through my classes. This weekend = sleeping in.

So the grade was wrong, and has apparently been corrected, but I don't know what to yet. We will see. I am going to the gym at 12:15. I don't know if it's a good idea, because it's gonna be crazy busy, but my friend wants to go.
I am not ready to go back. Really really not ready. I've got work to do, and I'm not ready for that.
And you know me, I hate dealing with life. School is included in that. Last night I was really sick, so today I slept until about 3, and plan to go to bed early tonight. Meaning that I will be completely disorganized once classes start. That or I'll organize tomorrow, but I probably won't. For now, I'm watching overboard on TBS. I sort of love this movie. I'm lame.
Okay. Back to lying on the couch. Tremblant was good, if you were wondering. Even if i did have to dress my boyfriend for skiing. He didn't have a hat or anything.
Oh man my butt is hurting from sitting. Lying down time.,
