Pizza Pie

So, pretty much one of the most funny/awkward things just happened. Roomie and I ordered a pizza from the place where the boyfriend works in hopes that he would deliver it. Lo and behold, the bringer of cheesy goodness was none other than BF. As we were doing the pizza exchange (me hungrily holding the box while Roomie paid) my neighbour, whom we shall call S.S. walked by. S.S. knows BF is MY BF and jokingly says, "what, you deliver pizza now?" BF and I, in unison reply, "yes" S.S. still in disbelief, "no way, seriously? That's a great job, delivering to hot chicks!" Roomie, BF and I all laugh, then S.S. says, "So, did they give you a good tip?" Roomie replies, "She'll give him a tip later" Said with a wink ;) I couldn't stop laughing long enough to eat my pizza!

Know how the other night I said I was making a pie? Well, I did! With a little help from Roomie, BF and BFBF (boyfriend's best friend-I need a better nickname. If you have a better one, leave in comments) we took this

and after a few hours we got this (well this is before it went in the oven)

BF, BFBF and I enjoyed our warm apple pie at 2:30 am. It was the best apple pie I had ever eaten at 2:30 am.

Goodnight and Godspeed

God bless the broken road...

So, I apologize for not posting during my trip. Poor Mr. Lappy stayed closed the whole time I was there. I didn't end up having time for any work. I was too busy having FUN!

The trip there was very long. Very, very long...and this will be continued because apparently I am going to make pie with our leftover apples...my life is so random sometimes...well, all the time.

God bless and Godspeed

I'm going to Halifax!!!

Yay! Tomorrow is the big day! After much contention, debate and plan changing (up the the last second!) we are finally heading out. I didn't plan on posting until I returned, but plan changes on my part means that I am bringing Mr. Lappy to do some work. So a working vacation, horray! There is still much to be done before I leave in 6 hours *shudder* On the bright side, I have awesome snacks for the car ride...want me to recount them? OKAY!
1-Cheesy Penguin Crackers (the pc version of goldfish)
2-Chocolate covered rasins
3-Pepperettes
4-Baby carrots
5-Apple juice (natch)

I also have cheese with which to add to my lovely turkey sandwiches...on that note, I shall say goodnight, pack up Mr. Lappy (poor guy always gets shunted around) and create delicous car food. Oh and also attempt the impossible feat of stuffing more things into my suitcase. Wish me luck!

Goodnight and Godspeed

I Want ----->Giraffe Love

Ok, now that that's out of my system, I'm going to Halifax in TWO SLEEPS!

Ok, now that that's out of my system, I don't have class until NOVEMBER!

Ok, now that that's out of my system...ok enough of that silliness...My roommate has just been introduced to the awesomeness of the Vlogbrothers via a video on giraffe sex. I. am. not. kidding. I can't contrive how she managed to avoid them for so long. aha, I think I'm clever. Today was a good day minus my complete exhaustion for the most part. I wrote my Celtic Christianity exam today, which I think I did pretty good on. We had to answer three questions, essay style. I had a nice new gel pen, and I write tiny so 2 handwritten pages is pretty awesome for each question. The first two I wrote a ton for (Explaining how St. Brigit is a continuation of the Celtic goddess, Brigitta; and describing four folio pages from the Book of Kells). The last question that I answered was on Adomnan. Yes, he was the man. Basically he reformed Irish law to include the protection of women. I kind of went all gung-ho on the first two questions and had little time left to finish the third one.

This post seems to be a bit more on the lighthearted side of things. The eggs were sunny side up not scrambled. That makes me think, do you think if eggs were conscious beings, would they have a preferred method of being cooked? I think sunny side up is the most humane, none of this scrambling business and mixing up their brains...oh dear, it's late and I'm becoming ridiculous.

Goodnight and Godspeed

Coconut White

no music today, I lost my headphones. Being the clever one that I am, I hopped onto a bus and picked up a new pair at the mall. I thought I was so smart, alas, I was duped by the malcontent packagers of said headphones. No amount of stabbing with my keys has helped me open the plastic. So I sit here forlorn, listening only to the sounds of my typing and other peoples general idiosyncratic study noises. Again, I am procrastinating on my weekly assignment. I need music to distract meeeee! I was talking to my friend, another student, and he said that he can't study or do work with music playing. I have such a hard time focusing without music on. I don't know exactly what it is about it that helps my brain focus that little bit more. How do you study?

Goodnight and Godspeed

ps: my headphones are called coconut white cool and comfortable. I think that's just silly.

I don' know no love songs...

So, I think that I'm going to try this "blog" thing out for a bit. One of my hesitations with the blogging (other than feeling kinda lame, cause despite posting this on my facebook, I don't think anyone has read it) is that I would blog for a few weeks and then it would start petering out. All my random thoughts would be stuck out on the internet and one day an employer is going to google my name and find-this. I don't want it to be an embarrassment.

I finished my assignment last night at about 1 am. I'm slightly annoyed at myself for leaving it so late. This week's assignment is to be handed in on Tuesday so I will have to be more on the ball. I'm going to be spending most of Sunday afternoon at the church selling raffle tickets, so perhaps in between I will read all my articles and prep for my assignment. The other reason that I wasn't as timely as I had hoped was that I was speaking to the boyfriend and because my roommate had friends over and we chatted for a bit as well. I was in such a cranky mood by the time I went to bed that it took me awhile to fall asleep. One positive thing is that it is getting colder so I busted out the pink flannel pajamas! Have you ever noticed how strange that word is? PA-JA-MA
PA
JA
MA

seriously, strange word.

On a final note,

I purchased the new Brooke Fraser CD and I am IN LOVE with it. I haven't stopped listening to it since Tuesday. The whole thing is incredible. Her first single is a really cute song called "Something in the Water" which Brooke wrote to be reminiscent of puddle jumping in gumboots, or so I learned by watching the special features on iTunes. Here is the video for the song. It is cute, give it a listen!

Also on the iTunes deluxe version is a cover of "You Can Close Your Eyes" originally by James Taylor. It is such a beautiful song, which one day I will learn to play and sing to the boyfriend...unless that's too sappy. To be honest though, every time I hear it, that's who I think of....barf.....

Goodnight and Godspeed

Hope is not Crazy

So, this is going to be my first post despite the fact that I have had this url/blogger account for almost a year. I had good intentions when I created it. I was going to write and inspire all those who wandered (or stumbled) onto my blog. I would move them to tears with my words of wisdom and hope. Comments would come flooding in and I would feel good and benevolent. Then I stopped and thought about that....and became depressed. That is never going to happen, who am I kidding? What if all that I write is contrived and the few people who wander onto this space laugh at my words? Things are never as grandiose as we think they are in our heads. So why am I all of a sudden blogging? What makes today special?

...procrastination...

I have a reading assignment due, and I really don't feel like doing it. I am to talk about music piracy, a whole page. A whole, single-spaced page. Single-space in university is just crazy talk! So, I am "taking a break" and getting my creative juices flowing. This is the latest in my line of procrastination techniques which include: shopping, fixing my printer, facebook, online shopping (browsing), facebook, catching up on my usual blog reads and vlogs and of course, facebook.

While I was browsing I came across this awesome vlog by John Green. You may not get the first part, but at about 2:10, John starts talking about hope, and how we need hope, even when it seems insane, hope is what carries us through. Paul talks about this in his letter to the Romans

Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, ⁴and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. ~Romans 5:2-5

on that note,

Goodnight and Godspeed
