Someday I'll actually go to all of my classes

I've become extremely bad at attending my classes, to the point where I don't think I've gone to my Electricity and Magnetism class for about a month. In my defense my professor really sucks and posts all of the lecture notes online anyway. This past week has been fairly tame, which I quite enjoyed. I actually had a few nights where I could relax and not worry about scrambling to finish something. I've also fallen into this bad habit of staying up late working on school stuff, and then going to school tired, coming home passing out for a couple hours and doing it all over again. But even when I try I end up having a horrible sleep schedule since I'm bound to have some assignment that I have to do at the last minute and therefore will stay up late just because of that. So as much as I would like a normal sleep schedule it's not really practical anyway.

I'm really not even sure what to write about at this point... I sold my old MacBook to a friend, in fact I was surprised I had three people want to buy it from me within hours of me mentioning that I got a new MBP. I'm still awaiting the InvisibleSHIELD that I ordered from for it. It has shipped so hopefully it will be here by the end of the week.

On to questions for lack of better things to write about.

My own: I think I would agree with Emma in that I would likely read a lot more. I also think I would end up having a hand written journal since and online one wouldn't be possible. I'm really not sure what kind of a person I would be without the internet. Heck I might still be in the closet, just because the internet was what inspired me to come out to people to begin with. So I think I would be the same person, however I would likely not nearly be as open and comfortable with myself.

Sam: I would have to agree that YouTube was probably the main thing that catapulted me into the numerous social networking sites that I'm involved with. I mean I was on Facebook since it's early days, but largely I find FB constricting, in that for the most part the people you interact with on FB you already know in some capacity. YT definitely open a whole different world and allowed me to explore many different people and cultures.

Emma: The chick really should not sing english lol, her accent ruins it, the french is better though. The other song is nice, but not really my preference for music.

My question: If you could be re-born and raised in another culture and/or ethnicity what would it be? Your not allowed to pick the one your already in.

I am the mess you chose!

The last week has mainly consisted of schoolwork and gym classes for me. This week however will be a little different. My whole family leaves town between Wednesday and Sunday so I’ll be here alone. During this time I’ll be moving to my sister’s apartment to take care of their cats. It’ll be interesting to see how I’ll manage on my own :)

So this past weekend Sweden choose the song we’re gonna send to Eurovision Song Contest, it’s a big contest with most of the countries in Europe participating. Apparently we’ll be sending a mix between pop and opera called “La Voix”.





Time to answer some questions.
When I feel ill I either stay in bed all day or at the most I’ll move in to the living room, spending all day in the sofa watching TV.

Chris wanted to know what we would do in our spare time if internet didn’t exist and also if we thought we’d be the same persons if it didn’t exist.
If internet didn’t exist I would probably read a lot more books, spend more time doing homework and get more sleep. And I would most likely be a totally different person if internet didn’t exist because I’ve gotten to know a lot of people that I never would have if internet didn’t exist and I think that and other things I’ve learnt has made me the person I am today.

Sam wanted to know how we entered this internet community and for me it all started with youtube. I watched different people and then I started to know them better through stickam, blogtv, twitter etc. So I have Youtube to thank for getting to know all the people I know now even if it wasn’t on youtube I meet them.

I don’t have a question for this week so instead I want you to watch/listen to this song and tell me what you think of it.

SATURDAY!! I HAVE MOCK TRIALLLSSSS!

I'm kind of back on the internet for half of the afternoon.
Chris send a link to a website, I wrote something about wanting to learn french, and something about how hard I worked in te mock trials. I also said that I wanted to know how I would do in this competition.
what are our views on polotics? It was then also said, and might I add on my behalf and on the behalf of all the other bloggers, that no matter what people said on thier views on poplitic we wouldn't judge them. Fair enough. But there are certain things that would be unacceptable: If one of us were to agree, that it was a good political decision to issue a fatwa on salman rushdie to be killed by any Muslim, and that muslim would be excused in the muslim comunity, Just because of a book he wrote expressing his opinions about Islam. Then I would hold that against them. If somebody said that they agreed with the pope, likening homosexuality to our depleting forests, then also I would have to hold it against you. If you were to say that Hitlers polotical dicisions were just, or that mogabi's running of zimbabwe is wise polotics I would have to oppose. As a person with a brain, I respect people who have views different to mine, but when they are as ill in formed as that, there are boundries. Ok, perhaps I'm being picky, I didn't really think anyone in here would agree with, for example, what the pope said. Or that there are any hitler worshippers among us. But seriously onto my view on polotics? I think that people should be allowed to do what they want to do, as long as it doesn't impede on anyone elses rights. I think that George Bush was dumb, I think that Gordon Brown is boring. What else is there to say?
I think emmas question was, about how would we change if we found out when we were going to die or something.. I would.. focus more.. I dont really know to be honest. sorry.
Then Emma asked, what do I like to do when Im feeling a bit ill? Normally sleep, but I like to do that even when I feel well.
Would I be the same without internet? simple answer. No. What would I do if it wasn't here? Well, chris, if you could travel into the paralell universe, where that does actually happen, then please tell me, because I don't know how and I have absolutley no idea whatsoever I'd be doing. Prehaps I might develope a friendship with a block of cheese.. I would go insane.

My question will be.. How did you enter this internet community? And wish me all luck for saturday, I will be first defense lawyer. I'll tell you all about how the case went, and what the case was perhaps over the weekend or next friday. BYE!!!!!

Because it's awesome...

Sometimes I fail but I usually win in the end.

Okay first of all, how did we go from 5 people to two? I know Becca is in LA this week so she can be excused as such, but I have no idea what's happened with Sam. He seems to have fallen off the internet or something, he has not updated his dailybooth or been on msn. Hopefully he is just having technical difficulties or something and all is well otherwise. Speak of the devil he just logged into msn as I write this. Just as an update he informs me he has simply been extremely busy with school work.

In other news, ZOMG I finally got my new MacBook Pro!!! It's all shiny and pretty and new and amazing *gushes some more...* However getting my MBP was slightly stressful. I should mention that anytime I'm expecting a package and have a tracking number for it, I am OCD when it comes to checking when and where it is at all times. I litterally was checking the Fedex website every 15 min once I knew it was in Calgary. Anyway, so it arrived in Calgary Monday morning and I wanted to just go and pick it up straight away since I knew I wouldn't be home when they tried to deliver it. So I called Fedex to see if I could do that, but they wouldn't let me pick it becuase their contract with Apple requires them to attempt delievery at least once. So the following day I planned to go pick up my MBP when I was done school. Just becuase I could, I checked the Fedex website again to see if they attempted delivery yet, and to my surprise they had and it got delivered, which meant someone signed for it. Initially I thought my landlord (who lives upstairs) had signed for it, so I quickly texted her to confirm. She responded by telling my she was out of the house all day, and didn't sign for it. My flatmate was also out of the house, which meant I had no idea who signed for my package.

Needless to say I became slightly worried that someone simply signed for my package and walked off with my new laptop. It turns out that the neighbour signed for it, and ended up leaving my package in the doorway. I was like WTF it's -30, who leaves a laptop outside for 2 hrs in that weather!?!? Naturally I rushed home to make sure everything was ok, and as of right now it seems to be working. I also preformed a RAM and Harddrive transplant as soon as I got it as well, which means I now have 320GB 7200rpm and 4GB DDR3 1066mhz. So far it is everything I expected it to be, I haven't tried doing any video editing but I will be doing that soon enough.

To answer my own question:

I don't neccesarily like the politcal party in power right now (the conservatives), but I also don't like their main contender (the Liberals). Neither of them seem to know what their doing and seem to endlessly fuck up the country, granted the conservatives seem to have at least stablized things in respect to the economy. I should also add that they seem to have given Canada a backbone once again. As Emma and I were discussing the other day, Canada has traditionally just followed in the footsteps of all the other major global powers, but lately we have been doing things more and more on our own, and not merely conforming to everyone else. Personally I support the Social Democrats in Canada, just becuase a more socialist system appeals to me and makes more sense in my mind. Ironically before I even knew Emma, I've always taken an appreciation for the Swedish Government, and how they are able to implement a Social Democratic government so very well!

When I'm feeling ill, I usually just sleep a lot, and curl up under several blankets and watch TV/Movies. I also try to drink lots of tea and fluids in an attempt to feel better and clense my system. I also try and drag out my sickness for as long as possible just so I can skip school/work LOL. For the record it has been quite sometime since I've been genuinely ill, probably a couple years since I've had anything more then a cold or sore throat.

As for my letter I basically just wrote about what I'm doing in my life right now. Nothing serious, just a light mildy humourous letter to myself. I also mentioned that if it works, I will write a long and proper letter to myself for several years down the road. Currently I set it to send in a years time.

New question:

What do you think you would do in your spare time if the internet didn't exist? Also do you think you would be the same person if the internet didn't exist?
