Ohoho

• Oh frozen mushrooms and red pepper (thought after discovering that I had put my vegetables into the freezer instead of the fridge - can you tell I'm tired?? and the night is just beginning)

• Oh the smell of unwashed student bodies (thought as I entered Robarts)

• Oh to a nice computer screen (the one I'm using right now is stellar! I rushed to get it and then realised belately I had given up a seat next to a good lucking guy!! lol - you can see where my mind is! or isn't!)

(a long night ahead of me in Robarts...... ohoho.....)

ps. when I discovered the vegetables I had a good laugh, put them back into the freezer, then left for the library. Does anyone know if frozen mushrooms are any good to cook?

Birthdate

So I checked out this website that told me what my birthdate means. I should first clarify that I am often sceptical about such things - I don't believe in horoscopes etc - the stars don't determine my destiny - God does - and on some things He lets me decide...
but still - after seeing *shopgirl's post about it - I thought - "gee, her birthday matches me so well (I'm all about the down time for recharging! and helping others) that I don't think mine could match me better".. so I checked mine out. tell me what you think.

what does your birthdate mean?
You are an island. You don't need anyone else to make you happy.
And though you see yourself as a loner, people are drawn to you.
Deep and sensitive, you tend to impress others with your insights.
You also tend to be psychic - so listen to that inner voice!

Your strength: Your self sufficiency
Your weakness: You despise authority
Your power color: Maroon
Your power symbol: Hammer
Your power month: July

things that creeped me out -

• I don't think maroon is my power colour (I don't even know what a power colour is!) but I happen to be wearing a maroon scarf right now.
• my best friend was just asking me this morning where I get my confidence from - I was explaining that it has to do with the fact that I don't care what others think. I definitely see myself as a loner.

things that didn't creep me out/I disagree with outright/made me laugh -

• I am not an island - but I am from an island! (I had to read over the first sentence twice to make sure it wasn't saying the latter)
• I do have an inner voice - but I am definitely not psychic - although some might say I'm psychotic!!! haha - I'm kidding (but sometimes I do talk back to that inner voice).
• I would say my self-sufficiency is more of a weakness than a strength - it means that I don't ask for help when I need it.
• I do not despise authority. On the contrary - I like it - I like the idea of a benevolent, intelligent leader - kinda like a roof protecting me from the storm. But I must admit - I do question those in authority. I've been brought up to question almost everything ... leaders are humans too... so I suppose that some would say that's being disrespectful of authority - I think of it as being smart!
• I don't like hammers - whether or not it's my" power symbol" (whatever that may mean) they kinda scare me - such violent tools! you could hurt your finger!

Sounds like

Spring :)
early this morning as I sat by my window writing and reading I heard a sound. At first I was annoyed because it sounded like a clock ticking (and I'm not big on ticking clocks - or dripping taps) - it turns out, what I heard was indeed a ticking or a dripping - but a much welcome one. Because it was the sound of snow melting!
what a wonderful sound.
When I left the house I stopped by the gate to observe two streams (little brooks) running down the middle of the street in the tracks left by tires. Two happy jets of water rushing down the road.
On my way to the library I passed quite a few more. I walked through the puddles happily soaking in the sunshine and the fresh air. I didn't even mind when my toes got wet (that's what I get for walking through puddles!).
:)
I just thought I'd share.
get out side and enjoy it!
