  Reading week is over. *sniff* It wasn't long enough...Well not that I really did much reading..or homework for that matter but still.
  Last week was bunches of fun. It was alot of driving but well worth it. On monday I went to Eaton centre with James. That was lots of fun. Dinner was good although I didn't finish it... Let's see what else happened...Was monday when we started watching minority report? Hmm...Vivi has such a bad memory ^_^;
  Let's see...Tuesday... Went to Timmy's for brunch, then went to work. That was kinda fun. Melis and Cece showed up as I finished cutting up the poster boards. 4 hours of poster board cutting! Whee! And then another 2 and a half hours or so of poster wrapping. Lord my hands were so tired after that. Well Melis and Cece stayed for like half the work day, and James came by too, so we all went out for dinner after I finished work. We went down to Queen street for sushi, which Vivi hasn't had in a very long time. It was raining so walking there took awhile. After dinner we went on the subway and I drove Melis and Cece home. Hope I didn't scare them too badly ^_^
  Wednesday...Hmmm what did I do on wednesday...Oh right, tried finding research material for an essay. That failed miserably since all the books I wanted were nowhere to be found. Went out for lunch with James. We had yummy dim sum, well I thought it was yummy : ) Hmm can't think of what else I did...Oh well.
  Thursday was more work day. Very very slow too, for a thursday anyway. Oh but I did get to finish watching minority report. Well I kinda stopped paying attention towards the end of the movie...but I was there when it was playing : ) Maybe I should have gone to that class screening after all... Vivi will have to watch it again sometime. James gave me a box of KD. I haven't eaten it yet, but Moe and I are planning a KD meal soon. She laughed when I brought it home that night. Soon I'll never again be able to say I've never had KD *sniff*
  Friday is the only weekday that I didn't go downtown. But I did have to drive my grandma over to her friend's house for a visit. Which brought me to Brandon's house. I haven't seen him in quite some time. Me thinks he's gotten taller. Anywho, while our grandma's were chatting it up, he took me upstairs to show me the trailer for Advent Children. I really really want to watch it...but I don't know if it's out yet : / On the drive home my grandma mentioned that Brandon was rather nice looking. Well that's the best translation I can give, but the way she said it made me very suspicious...>_> I hope she doesn't start trying to set me up with people...

  Hello lovelies. It's been awhile hasn't it? First off, Happy Chinese new year to all of you, although it is a bit late. Vivi's been a tad preoccupied lately. The week has been fairly crazy, but it will be better next week.
  Monday my classics professor invited some camera people to film our class as a model of an "average university lecture". It was kinda odd. The camera-man was like "Just pretend like we aren't even here." at which point he turned on his camera and blinded all of us. Well maybe I'm exaggerating. After class I went and worked for a few hours without signing in. Because Vivi is silly. The shipment came in and I spent most of my working days wrapping stuff. We got alot of nice stuff. I bought moe a few things, because I'm silly and think I can buy her love.
  That has essentially been my week I guess. I did have a test on wednesday that I was panicking about since I didn't really study as much as I should have. It was decent I guess, I don't think I failed...

  Hello! Just a short note thingy because I'm weird, and bored.
  It snowed like crazy this evening...The first half of the day was pretty nice, it wasn't even that cold out. Too bad it didn't stay that way. It was freezing by the time I finished school : ( The drive home was crazy. The roads weren't too bad, but there weren't any lines. As much as Vivi likes playing "Make your own lines" it is only fun for so long...
  Work was decent today. I sold a bunch of stuffs. People came. I wrapped a bunch of stuff that I now kinda want to buy. Sometimes working at that store doesn't seem like such a good idea. So many things to buy, so little money to buy with. I really liked that Kiki's delivery service music plush T_T Vivi would probably never use it anyway...
  Oh last thing, yesterday when riding the elevator some random lady if I wanted a ride to school. Not that it wasn't nice of here, but for some reason it didn't feel right to accept : P That is all

1-14-05(technically)
  Good morning all you crazy people. Surely you mustbe crazy if you're reading this, either that or exceptionally bored. Anywho onto the lastest news of my life.
  So I went to get my hair cut on friday...it's short now. Well not really but I miss having stupidly long hair. *sniff* That was fun, but it delayed me by like an hour and my grandma was freaking out so I got in trouble when I got home. Yea I should have called, but I'm not a little kid, I can' take care of myself.
  Ok I had more stuff to blog about but it all escapes me at the moment...So I guess I'll do it after school or something. Good...night...morning...thing...Whatever!
  Hello again. It's friday! For some reason I thought it was saturday just now...Where was I going with this again? Oh right no more school for two whole days *frolic* I gets to spend time with all the lovely materiamagica people.
  School wasn't terribly interesting today, but then again it rarely is. I am so behind in my readings. I blame it on the people who make my textbooks so boring. Not that it's easy to make learning Greek and Latin terms fun... At least I've been sleeping better. I have crazy dreams, but that's ok I guess. James, Ash, and Scott have been on more often lately, which makes me happy. Vivi might need to spend more time studying, but there isn't anything important coming up till next month anyway. Oh and a happy early birthday to Jordan. Even though he probably doesn't read this...Yep that's all.

1-05-05
  I just noticed I out the wrong year in my last post. Or did I? >.> Anyway I mean to post again after I got home on monday, and again yesterday, but I'm silly and tired so I didn't.
  Anywho. YAY for bellcurves. I didn't fail that linguistics test after all :D not that I did particularly well either, but it was average so meh. Let's see, what else happened...Nope that's about all for monday.
  Yesterday I went to line up for my metropass, which I can't live with out. So after my class at 12 I went to line up. And what a long line it was, good thing I ran into Steph and she pulled me into line with her. Yay for cutting *evil grin* Anywho as it turns out they didn't have any metropasses, again, when we were really far back in the line, and we were only lining up to sign a waiting list. I felt like waiting anyway, and so did Steph, so we ended up standing in the cold for awhile, and then we noticed that the line was moving into the building. We did manage to get our metropasses so it was all worth it. I'm so glad I didn't leave the line. After that Steph took me to UC and pointed out some places that I hadn't noticed before. UC is the prettiest college ever. She found a place for us to eat lunch and we sat down for awhile. Well it was really more of her eating while I waited. I gave her my lunch while we were waiting in line for that hour or so.
  I needed to get a textbook for that silly latin class after that so Steph took me to the proper boostore. I really don't know that side of campus...Anywho that was fun. Then we walked to Chapters and went shopping for a book for her. On the walk to Bay subway station I passed by a few places that I recognized but decided not to go visiting the people who owned the stores. They probably don't know me anyway ^_^;. Steph had class to get to so I went to Kikiwai without her. I never noticed how much stuff was so close to where my classes are...
  Not much happened today. Vivi vistied her uncle, left with her cousin, went to class, and then to work, and then came home. The end.

1-03-05
  Well this week didn't start off very well. I blame it on the school. I started my scientific terminology course today. The professor is very entertaining, and the course doesn't seem too bad so far. Latin is fun to learn isn't it? Well it's too late to switch out of it now. All the other courses I wanted are full T_T
  Getting up this morning was terrible. It took me forever to drag myself out of bed. Vivi spent half the night tossing and turning, and then getting frustrated when the blankets got all tangled. Yes, it's been a rather sleepless holiday. As it turns out I could have stayed in bed for another hour *shrug* oh well. Oh one more thing to rant about, I have scientific terminology right after my classics class, but the two classes are really far apart. I barely made it in time for class today and I had a ten minute head start from my other class. Vivi is going to die when the snow comes back and she has to make her way through Queen's park >_<
  Woot only a little over 2 hours before my next class...*twiddle* What to do...I am so not looking forward to tutorial. We're getting that test back that I know I failed...but I can't avoid it : ( Why on earth did I sign up for night classes *whaps herself upside the head* I'll be so happy when I get home tonight.
  That paragraph sounded completely random...eh whatever I'm bored *weeps*

12-28-04
  Hello again people who read this. Miss me? It has been awhile. Holidays were great, especially the no school part. But alas it will all soon come to an end.
  Last Thursday I shovelled the driveway with moe. That caused me all sorts of pain for the next few days. Vivi has learned that she is not as in shape as she previously thought. There were also a number of power failures that day, but it wasn't during the night so I didn't get to play with the candles : ( But that didn't stop moe *giggle* I might have gone shopping too that day but I forget.
  I am fairly certain we went to fairview on friday. That was fun. Or it might have been thursday...Anyway, I ended up buying a whole bunch of clothes and stuff. Finding parking was horrible though. But yea, tons of fun that was. Too bad moe was a hermit and decided not to come with. Christmas eve was spent at my aunt Mimi's house for dinner. I have a new nephew type person. He is so adorable *huggles* I spent the better part of an hour tossing balloons around with them. Spending time with that side of the family is always a bit wierd since we basically only see them once a year, but I think my social skills have gotten a bit better, that's what I'd like to think anyway. But yea that was alot of fun.
  Christmas day we went to market village, because it's the only place open on chirstmas, and we needed extra gifts. Good lord there were a ton of people there. Anywho, I grabbed what I needed (wrapping paper: because for some reason we didn't have anymore at home) and left. Later on we went to my other aunt's house. My baby cousins were there again. So adorable...Watching them open presents was fun. But yea, dinner there was really filling, and the dessert made me feel so guilty : / Good holidays : )
  Boxing day was spent mostly at home. BUt I did go out to drop Kiyo and Cece's gifts off. I spent a little while wandering around Kikiwai too. Then I went over to Jeff's house to play mah jong becuase I'm a dork like that...I ended up being down 20 points, but it's all good. As it turns out the other chirstmas party that I didn't go to also featured mah jong. Oh well, maybe next time.
  Went to work today, it was fun if a little busy. But then again that is a good thing. I've been listening to the CDs I got for christmas too much lately. So I think I'll post the lyrics for the song I like from one of them, because I'm bored like that.
Push

Every time I look at you the world just melts away
All my troubles all my fears dissolve in your affections
You've seen me at my weakest but you take me as I am
And when I fall you offer me a softer place to land

Chorus
You stay the course you hold the line you keep it all together
You're the one true thing I know I can believe in
You're all the things that I desire you save me you complete me
You're the one true thing I know I can believe

I get mad so easy but you give me room to breathe
No matter what I say or do 'cause you're too good to fight about it
Even when I have to push just to see how far you'll go
You wont stoop down to battle but you never turn to go

Chorus

There are times I can't decide when I can't tell up from down
You make me feel less crazy when otherwise I'd drown
But you pick me up & brush me off and tell me I'm OK
sometimes thats just what we need to get us through the day

12-19-04
  Good evening everyone. I just got home from a two hour dinner with family. But first happy birthday to Moe. *huggles Moe* She is getting old : P Just like me!
  Anywho back to the dinner thing. Most of my mom's side of the family was there, and as usual the children all had fun talking about rather random things. My favourite part was the one compairing our favourite and not so favourite reality television shows. The political bit wasn't nearly as entertaining. Oh the many educational conveersations we have...Of the two hours or so we spent at the restaurant, we spent very little of it eating... But the food was good, and of course it was also chinese : P
  It was freezing when we left the restaurant...Silly winter, I wish I lived somewhere warmer...No snow to drive in...no icy winds...*sighs dreamily* Hehe, I don't think I could bear to leave my home just yet, but it still would be nice...

12-16-04
Good lord I'm sure a dork...hehe but these dolls are so cute...Go see for yourselves. Dollies
are pretty, well some of them are. I like Pireze lots, but I think that's just because she has a nice dress. Yep that's all. Bye bye.

12-15-04
  I'm free!! Free I tell you! *frolic* As you might have guessed I had my last exam today. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, which makes Vivi very suspicious... As long as I didn't fail I suppose it's all good. Then again I was never very good at writing essays. Anywho onto other nondepressing things.
  So Vivi got up the earliest today out of all the days this year that she remembers. That's right 6:30. I am so not used to it anymore... That and I slept like crap yesterday night. I went to bed 'early' in hopes of being well rested for my exam. No such luck for Vivi, layed awake for awhile followed by short periods of sleep, followed my periods of utter and complete wakefulness, and then some more sleep. This made getting up kinda hard this morning. But I did manage to drag myself out of bed in 10 minutes :D Then I got ready went to school blah blah blah
  WOrk has been pretty busy lately. I blame the holidays, silly people coming and fretting over what to get their loved ones. But yes it's all very touching, and Vivi gets warm fuzzies. Ok aside from that I am getting better at finding stuff for people, which is good since I don't have to go and ask my boss about every stupid little thing. The bad part about the job is my fingers are getting all cut up and stuff from handling all that sharp paper and whatnot...Stupid papercuts.
  Went over to my aunt's house after work today. Stayed for dinner because I always steal her food *feels guilty* My uncle is doig better, so that makes me happy. But I still feel bad for waking them all up this morning...Hope my cousin wasn't trying to sleep : ( Yep that's all I have to say for today. Bye bye

12-13-04
Wow three updates in a row, I must be bored... So yea, monday mornings with no school should make Vivi happy...Haven't been sleeping very well lately though. Which is why I'm online this early in the morning instead of sleeping in. Although that might not be a good idea anyway seeing as how I need to get up really early on Wednesday. Stupid exam planners making my exam at 9 *mutter*
The power went out today in the middle of my conversation with Wolvie. I hope he didn't think that I disappeared on purpose : ( But yes, I was without internet, music and sound in general. It was all very frightening. But on the bright side, I did get to sit on the floor in the hall staring out at a sky that I didn't even know was there. It is the coldest shade of blue I've ever seen, and very pretty. Well Vivi needs to go try to be productive or something, many picture and writing ideas are floating about in her had at the moment, and she needs to catch them before they drift away.

12-12-04
  Ello. I had a rather eventful day today. Although most of you probably don't really care, I'm rather bored so nyah!
  Woke up 'early' today. I did all my chores in record time so I could go shopping. The entire point of going was supposed to be to get some new clothes...but I was silly and chose books and CDs again. Ehehe...-_-; Oh well I'll just go shopping again next week.
  So yea, my uncle came to pick us up and we went to pick up my aunt. Then we went out for lunch at Wendy's. The food was ok, but I always have a hard time finishing any sort of combo. After that we went to the mall. Good lord it was crowded in there... Silly holiday shoppers...After spending around 2 hours or so at the mall my dad came to pick us up.(I didn't drive because it was snowing) It was the large chunky snowflake kind of snowing, which it fun to walk in I suppose, but a pain when it clings everywhere...Especially to my hair : P
  In other news; Scott is back! I have missed him lots since he went away. I've known him almost as long as I've known Ashley. *huggles Scott and Ashley* Anywho, I am glad to know that he is ok. Maybe I should give him a call when he's free. Anywho that is about all. I should go, bye bye

12-11-04
  Weekend! Nothing like snow and ice to make Vivi drive terribly. Well not really... Anywho The week has been pretty good. Aside from all the horrible testing that is. But lets not mention that..
  The events of this week are mostly fuzzy. I only woked on tuesday, but Melis, Cece and Bonnie came to visit. That made working alot more fun. Since it is nearing the holidays we were a bit more busy. But it is nice when I can help people find the stuff they are looking for. But yea, I didn't go to work on wednesday, because I had to study for a test. I wasn't nearly prepared enough for it in the end, but anywho, bad memories, must purge now.
  I went out for lunch with my uncle on thursday before I went to school for my test. It was nice of him to treat me to lunch. Though I feel bad for not paying for my food... I needed to go see one of my professors and spent forever running around in a college I've never been to, only to learn later that he is in a completely different building. But the act of exploring itself was quite enjoyable. I still think University college has a more confusing layout, but Trinity comes in at a close second...
  I was handfasted to James this evening. It is the first time I've ever been handfasted, so it was all very interesting to me. I didn't actually pay much attention to the pavillion the last time I was there. It is actually quite nice. The usual congratulatory spam followed afterwards. Well most of it was congratulatory...I seemed to have upset a few people...Not knowingly of course, but it is still rather distressing. I hope they will forgive me.

12-06-04
Ello, I'm currently at school at the moment. I had to come on for ranting : P So I got up early today, and woke up to a snow storm. That wasn't promising at all... Left early in hopes of not being terribly late. I should have left earlier... The normal half hour drive, took me over 2 hours today... Yea that really sucked. Plus I got stuck in some slush on Finch, but some nice Seneca students helped me out. Oi that was frustrating. I have not yet mastered the art of winter driving. But yes, snow+ car+ Vivi= agnst. Crazy winter driving... I'm moving to someplace without snow!
At least the weekend didn't suck. Of course I didn't do much but go online and procrastinate, but I <3 the people I talk to online. I have resolved not to come online till after my linguistics test this week. A promise which I am currently breaking...But I would go insane without something interesting to do at school. That and I don't think I'd be able to stay offline for another four days : P Ok since I can't think of anything else to write I will be leaving. *sighs heavily and wanders back to room piled with study notes*

12-02-04
  Good evening. I've been updating alot most lately haven't I? The funny thing is exams and the like are coming up soon, and what Vivi should really be doing is working on papers and studying...
  So on tuesday I ran into Sam on the subway. We ended up talking for awhile, and it was weird. That was about it for tuesday I guess. Yesterday my 2 o'clock class got cancelled again, so I went to work early. I might have messed up some stuff, but other than that it was fun. There was a bunch of other stuff that happened that I don't recall. Since I don't remember it, it couldn't have been all that important.
  Took grandma downtown with me today. It was a sort of last minute thing that she wanted to do so I didn't plan my time accordingly. I had to leave her to take the streetcar herself because I was going to be late for class. She knew the way, but what with her not being able to speak english and all it still had me worried. Class was fun I guess. THat cute kid came to class today, well he's not really a kid..but I've taken to calling people that lately. Afterwards I went to pick my grandma up from chinatown. We went out for lunch. Guess what we had? Yep that right chinese food. What else would you get at chinatown? After that she decided to go buy some meat. Lots of meat...7 pounds of meat...and some barbeque pork, and some chicken. It was so heavy : (

11-29-04
  Good evening. I know I'm really not supposed to be on this late on mondays...but I don't really feel like going to bed at the moment. So I think I well ramble on about nothing for a few paragraphs, just because I can.
   Today was a monday, and thus I was most unhappy to get out of bed this morning. This was made even more pronounced by the fact that I was having a good dream, and was rudely awakened by the sound of my grandmother talking loudly on the phone in the hall. Unfortunately I cannot remember what dream I was having this morning or I would relate it to you.
  I forgot to fill up the tank again this weekend, and I was very worried about being able to get to and from school today. Fortunately there was enough for the day, and I did not end up stranded outside somewhere with no way home. But Vivi did have to fill up the tank when she got back home. I have learned my lesson hopefully and won't forget next time.
  I think I ran into Kamille in the subway today, but why she would be at Yonge station I have no idea...Anyway I didn't say anything and she didn't say anything, but we did smile in passing each other, which I suppose was the most polite greeting we could give in the circumstances. Maybe it wasn't her after all.
  My I have written alot tonight. I am not looking forward to school tomorrow, so I think I shall go distract myself with mm, msn, and ventrilo. *curtseies* Good night

11-24-04
  Time for rantings!! Ok well most of my day wasn't really rant worthy. Most of it was a typical wednesday with some rain thrown in. The rain was actually pretty nice, but I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't been freezing. Then again that is my own fault for not wearing enough clothes. Anywho, what I am ranting about is the fact that people should really watch where they are going, or more specifically, where they are running.
  So I took the subway with my cousin this morning, like I always do, and I got off at bloor. I was walking to the young trains when out of nowhere, this guy slams into me, he looked like one of those buisnessmen people. It wasn't even a light nudge. Something (I am guessing his head >_<) slammed into my face, causing me all sorts of pain. You'd figure that what with the rain and all it would not be a good idea to run around indoors, where there are alot of people, with slippery shoes. It's not like it takes that long for another train to come anyways, like what 5 minutes? Oi people. So now I have an unsightly bruise developing on my face. Since I don't do the makeup thing this might be slightly annoying to walk around with. *sigh*
  Oh yea, on the way home from work today, I took the subway from St. George to St. Andrew without anyone else on the train, well at least in the car I was sitting in. It was a rather strange experience seeing as how yesterday the train was so crowded, and that was at 9 not 8. The drive home was slightly scary, due to the fact that I couldn't se the road very well due to rain, but it was otherwise fine. Walking in the rain is definately more fun than driving in it.

11-20-04
  Good evening lovelies. I had the bestest day evar. I didn't wake up till like 11, which was great. My cousin came over for lunch, and much fun was had reminiscing. We haven't had anyone over for a meal in forever, and it felt kinda weird.
  My dad decided to take me shopping after that, because I was in need of shoes I could wear to school in winter, seeing as my current pair is getting rather worn and not water resistant. Anywho, we went to fairview and only succeded in buying some cds. Then we went to Yorkdale, and spent much time trying to find a parking spot (much like what happended at fairview). After going into countless shoe stores I have come to the realization that many boots serve no practical, non-iceslipping function, and are only made to look nice. Anywho I eventually found a suitable pair of shoes ^_^ That and I gots a new jacket thing, so I won't be cold hopefully during those cold snowy winter days. I am not really looking forward to long walks in the winter cold...
  Well that's about all for today. Bye bye.

11-19-04
Lookit I changed the layout thingy. Took me a bit to make everything work though. Me and my silly semi computer-illerateness. Anywho, as contested by you reading this, it works! Well hopefully.
This week has been stupid, and I will not speak of it. Ok it's not so much as it sucked, as I can't recall much of it...Whatever :P Vivi needs to do...stuff...
