These days I've been thinking a lot about myself, and who I am. Mostly because I've been getting a lot of feed back from other people. And all good feedback. A lot of people (i've recently noticed) have quite a bit of respect for me, and almost have me as a role model.
So it's made me stop and think about myself. And the one thing that's standing out to me right now is how confident people say I am. That I'm great talking in front of a group, that I'm smart and bold. And I think about this, and I'm not sure if it's entirly true. I don't find myself to be that confident. Sure, I am with some things, or, at least I try to make it look that way, but there are some things I'm so shy about. I feel like I'm giving people a false impression of what/who I am. Am I leading people on.
Gah, I don't know, this is all kinda confusing and just a garble of words that are being spewed onto this webpage to make me feel better.
Didn't really help all that much actually

An excerpt from The Pillow Book by Sei Shonagon
It is important that a lover should know how to make his departure. To begin with, he ought not to be too ready to get up, but should require a little coaxing: "Come, it is past daybreak. You don't want to be found here..." and so on. One likes him, too, to behave in such a way that one is sure he is unhappy at going and would stay longer if he possibly could. He should not pull on his trousers the moment he is up, but should first of all come close to one's ear and in a whisper finish off whatever was left half-said in the course of the night. But though he may in reality at these moments be doing nothing at all, it will not be amiss that he should appear to be buckling his belt. Then he should raise the shutters, and both lovers should go out together at the double doors, while he tells her how much he dreads the day that is before him and longs for the approach of night. Then, after he has slipped away, she can stand gazing after him, with charming recollections of those last moments.
I'm reading the pillow book for a paper I'm writing, and I found this part particularly interesting (and true)
:P

Well, I got the phone call today, I've been accepted as a teacher with the NOVA program in Japan. I'll be heading back in May. You may wonder "why is she not bouncing off the walls with joy?" I wish I knew myself...I really am not all that excited about it.
It's probably partly because it's so far away, partly because my mom totally ruined the high that I was on after I got the call, and partly because...I don't want to leave.
Yah, I know. All I've been saying for the past year is "I can't wait to get out of here" " I miss Japan" etc...
But...I a little sad already when I think about all the new friends I have here, and the friendships that I put so much time into. I'm going to miss everyone.
I'm so used to seeing people leave here, I've gotten used to that...but this time it will be me leaving. I don't know right now. I'm kind of doubting myself, and that's not something I usually do. Which makes me nervous.
Gah

| Concert Rules |

Ok, I went to a concert last night (Billy Talent) It was a great concert. Really fun! But...some people need to learn the un-written rules of concert going. And to help them...I...being someone who has been to countless concerts... shall write the rules.
1. If the concert is general admission and you manage to get to the front, people will be pushing and shoving. If you can't handle that, or you're going to complain about it the whole time, you might be better off sitting in the stands. Also, if you're like..4 foot nothing in height, it would probably be healthier for you to be in the stands...and then people around you wouldn't have to worry about you.
2. If you're a chick with long hair, put in up in a pony tail. No one wants your hair sticking to their sweaty bodies, and I'm sure you don't want people's sweat in your hair. But don't put it in a high pony tail. Then it just hits people in the face.
3. If it's your first time at a concert, I suggest you...hang to the back a bit, unless you're sure you can handle the pushing and shoving and moshing and crowd surfing. No one likes to be standing next to someone who's wriggling back and fourth trying to make their own personal space. It's just not gonna happen.
4. Don't bother trying to push you're way to the front if you showed up late. It just pisses off the people who waited in line to get a good show.
5. Crowd Surfing...now, I don't mind some crowd surfing. It's all part of a good concert...BUT! DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST SONG!! One of the most annoying things ever at concerts is being in the front row area...the last song comes on...then EVERYONE decides that it's time to try crowd surfing. The people at the front don't get a chance to even look at the band! There should be a no 'crowd surfing during the last song' rule.
6. Another crowd surfing rule...but not to the crowd surfers. If you're in the crowd and you see a crowd surfer coming DON'T DUCK DOWN!! God, that just makes it even harder for the people who are trying to keep that jerk up in the air! Besides, if everyone else around you ducks, chances are...that jerk is gonna fall on your head, and that fucking hurts!
7. Sometimes you just can't get a general admission ticket and you're stuck in the stands. It's a rock concert, freaking stand up! It's not an opera, or theater!! If you don't stand up, and the people in front of you do, tough luck. Looks like they're at the show to have fun and enjoy the show and you're not...and you can't see.
8. Remember...everyone is there to have fun and enjoy the show. Don't be an ass. Don't start shit with people.
That's all I can think of for now. If I come up with more, I'll edit this post.
Can you tell a few things at a few concerts have annoyed me before? lol

I met this guy in my building while waiting for the elevator. He struck up a conversation. Turns out we're both students going to SMU. I mentioned I was going into my 4th year and he said " I would be graduated by now, but I screwed up a couple times" I said "Yah, I did the same in my first year" He said "It's ok if you're parents are nice, I had to beg mine to give me another chance"
I just stared at him and said "oh...my parents don't pay for my school"
It drives me crazy that some people have such an easy ride through university. No, I don't want people to feel bad for me, or say things like "oh, it sucks that you have to work 2 jobs etc" I just wish that people who have it easy wouldn't take it for granted. I would LOVE to have a year off of work and be able to focus only on my studying. I'm so envious of those people who don't work, their parents pay for their school, rent and spending money.
And now...I have to go to work. Hahaha.

| ...8 Months Later |
[Monday
Aug 27th, 07 at 4:42pm] |
I last posted to my lj 8 months ago, and I've just decided to start it back up again. I don't know if anyone will still read it. Chances are everyone I knew on here removed me from their list after such a long time away. That's alright. This isn't about them anyway.
I decided to start this up again for one main reason. I'm going into my 4th (and final) year at university, I'm going to have 2 jobs, plus the society to worry about. In other words, this is going to be just about the busiest year of my life (so far). So, why on earth am I starting up my lj again now? With only... *counts* ...9 days left until school starts up again? Well, I think this is going to be a stressful year for me, with all the new responsibilities I'll have. So, I'm going to use this journal to vent, yes vent. I've decided that I'm going to avoid complaining (as much as possible) about things in my life to my friends and associates, be them online, or face to face. This journal will help with that.
At least this way people can
1. Delete me if they don't want to read my stuff anymore, or
2. Scroll down if they're just not in the mood that day.
As with every new school year I (and I'm sure many many other people) make the promise (resolution) to themselves that "this year will be different", "I'll study harder this year" " I won't party so much" "I'll be more organized" "I'll save money" and so on and so on.
This year, I mean it.(I know I say that every year too) This will (most likely) be my last university year ever. I need to make it count. I've decided lack of organization and lack of motivation are my 2 main problems in my life(not just my school life). I've taken the necessary steps (so far) to try to improve on this for the coming academic year.
So, here's hoping that this year is better. Here's hoping that everything that needs to get done, gets done. And here's hoping that I won't crumble under the pressure.

Oi, bored today. No class this morning. I might not go to class tonight. I haven't decided yet. I might head up to the new skate park and hang out there for awhile. It looks freaking awesome. I went to the only store in the city that sells aggressive roller blades today and they only have 2 pairs left. The biggest size is like...one cm too small. So I might have to wait on getting a pair. I guess I can survive on my street blades for awhile longer. Winter is coming.
I just want to add, that there's not much thats more depressing than lying in bed alone after unsatisfying sex while the guy you just had it with left to go have a smoke and get something to eat. XD

Ok, so all plans to go to England for spring break...cancelled! Dir en Grey is playing a concert in Toronto in February. At least, that was the word this morning. Tonight WARCON has taken the Dir en Grey tour off their list. I'm not sure what's going on. But, if all goes at planned Tickets go on sale on the 16th (please correct me if I'm wrong) it's only like 30$. So, I'll fly to Toronto on the night of the 8th, concert on the 9th. Shopping on the 10th and back home on sunday the 11th. I don't even need to miss any classes! Yay! *crosses fingers*
WARCON! Please put those dates back up! You're scaring me!!
