Friday I am off to get an untrasound as there is something wrong with my ribs on my right side. Well, the tissue over them which is why it is an ultrasound and not an xray.

I figured out the final item for my motivational package. Thank you cards with a motivational message on the back. Now all I have to do is print them off and I can start sending them out. This pleases Me.

Keanu Reeves is ‘hot’. Just thought I would throw that in there.

I am part of this internet group that performs random acts of kindness for each other (mostly mailing things people like). I enjoy sending things but some of the people on the list drive me nuts. All they do is complain about how terrible things are for them and how sick they are. Okay, I do have sympathy for illness but for god’s sake people try putting something positive in there! For every complaint add two good things. And I don’t really want to hear from someone I don’t know how their rectum is swollen along with their colon and they had to have an enima and doped themselves up for back pain.

Crikey!!!

On a positive note, my motivational package is almost complete. It is all homemade stuff (so ya, not top quality, but it is from the heart) including magnets, postcards, a bookmark, and labels that all have motivational quotes. I just want to come up with one or two more items before sending a bunch out.

Positive comment #2: My feet don’t smell (which they don’t usually).

I participated in a trivia competition at Rochester University this weekend and had a good time. While our team didn’t place well, individually I finished around the middle of all of the competitors which makes me quite ecstatic. I don’t do so well at the academic questions, I am more of a pop culture and random useless facts kind of person. Being a Canadian team we were at a bit of a disadvantage as the mojority of the bonus questions we got were about American politics, geography, and literature. I simply do not know what river flows through what state and ends in what lake. Yikes!

In some very interesting news, I am looking into a program called ‘Solidarity Experiences Abroad’ where I might be going to Brazil for two weeks next August. In the program you do a lot of volunteer work in the health sector for the underprivledged. It fits in well with what I am taking at University (Community Health). I just need to check on some safety issues before I decide whether to go or not.

School is going well so far, I am just getting burnt out already since I work full time and then go to school three nights a week on top of having two kids and a few clubs/volunteer organizations I am involved with.

I gave up the Improv club since I didn’t like the direction the new president was taking it. She is a nice girl and very talented, she is just inexperienced at what it means to be on an executive. I ended up feeling like it was becoming a dictatorship rather than a democratic process. Oh well, as long as the membership is happy with the changes, then that is what matters. I will also have to give up on the gaming club and anime club as I just don’t have time.

Well, that about sums up my little life for the week. Next week it is off to Ottawa and Montreal!!!!!!!!!!

Thought this was a funny response to when you get chain letters…

I want to thank all of you who have taken the time and trouble to send
me your chain letters over the past two years. Thank you for making me
feel safe, secure, blessed, and wealthy;
because of your concern.
……………………
I no longer can drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains.
……………………
I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr. Pepper since the people who make these
products are atheists who refuse to put “Under God” on their cans.
…………………..
I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.
……………………..
I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be
pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.
………………………
I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a
water buffalo on a hot day.
…………………….
I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a
perfume sample and rob me.
……………………….
I no longer receive packages from UPS or FedEx since they are actually
Al Qaeda in disguise.
…………………….
I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don’t support the
troops.
…………………….
I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a
stupid number for which I will get the phone bill from hell with calls
to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore, and Uzbekistan.
……………………
I no longer eat prepackaged foods because the estrogens they contain
will turn me gay.
………………………
I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible
mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.

I no longer go to bars because someone will drug me and take my
kidneys and leave me taking a nap in a bathtub full of ice.
……………………….
Thanks to you, I have learned that God only answers my prayers if I
forward an email to 7 of my friends and make a wish within 5 minutes.
…………………………
I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl who has
been dying for the past seven years.
………………………….
I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive
the $15,000 that Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in
their special e-mail program.
………………………..
I will now return the favor.
If you don’t send this e-mail to at least 1200 people in the next 60
seconds, a large bird with explosive diarrhea will fly over your head at
5:00 PM and the fleas of a thousand camels will infest your armpits. I know
this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of a friend of a
friend’s neighbor’s cousin, and he’s a lawyer.

My place of work moved to a new building (for 18 months until we move into a permanent location) and it is now open concept. The managers have offices but the various divisions are all open in a sea of cubicles. Some of the various groups have taken to having little meetings in their area and are pretty noisy. In retribution for this disturbance, since I am the computer tech I am going to send out a notice that anyone who continues to hold these loud meetings will have their passwords changed to include letters, numbers, doodles, sign language and squirrel noises.

I am so excited! My friend and I are going to Ottawa and Montreal during our vacation in October. I love architecture and famous landmarks. We want to walk the cobblestone streets. Ya, strange desire, but hey that’s us. I got a new 8.0 megapixel SLR camera and hope to take some great pics!!!

I have started writing some fanfiction but will be posting it at fanfiction.net rather than on my web site. My first one is dedicated to Owen and is a Smallville fanfic entitled “Emissary”.
