under over under over

hey
so far I've spent the day running from one sprinkler to another -it's HOT, plus, I love that exilerated feeling when you run through a shower in a public place (wink). I went to work -but discovered that I don't have work today (or at least I don't think I do, if I do then I just shafted my boss...lol), I'm not at all put out though - because it's way too hot to do anything substantial - plus, I'm excited to go home - continue tidying my room, take out these cornrows (they're mighty tight) and daydream somemore.. I tell you - it's addictive.

Going up....?

hallo,
so I recently made up a riddle thingee and since I have not had a rush of responses I figure that no one's been reading, no one cares, or you're all stumped (except for C who was able to guess it in a sleep induced state of mind). So, once again, here is the question.

my day is spent in vertical to's and fro's,
I come when called and where you list I go.
what am I?

the answer's at the bottom. On another note I'm wondering about stuff. what about stuff? well... just stuff.. my job is surreal; it's been too hot to be allowed (35degrees C? plus the humid-X..) what is that?!!!; and I hung out with a cute guy who bares a close resemblance (perhaps too close a resemblance) to my old boyfriend (I hate the phrase "my ex" and I refuse to use it - ever!) (not physical resemblance - it's this thing - this calmness.. this personality trait thingee) It sucks - that calm that I find so darned attractive in men (boys?). You know - every woman has something that leaves her incabable of... of clear thought, leaves her stuck on one thing... leaves her miles ahead of the present (and any possible reality) - why.. why .. why do we need men anyways? (the eternal question I suppose) - or rather - why must we need them so?
so anyways - that was a bit of a whine and I apologise. I'll try not to do it too often. I realise that this is (at least) my second entry which is not totally clear -but fear not - just like an impressionist painting eventually it will all take shape (or maybe not - since this is my life) and become a thing of beauty.
elevator is the answer! get it?!!!

< shakes head >... what a suck

hiho
(everytime I think "hiho", I think "hiho, Kermit T. Frog here" - remember - When Kermit used to be the daily news reporter on Seseme Street and interviewed all kinds of people - like Don Music ["I'll never get it, never get it *booonngg*])

I'm such a suck because I keep on reading about weddings -well - it's not really my fault I suppose - it's in the air - that time of year, and I know some people who are planning to or have recently tied the knot. So anyways - I won't bore you with tales of them - just in my online browsings two lines stuck out....

Rhiana recently had her wedding ...15 months after the marriage - (I think that's the way to go: - cut out the cold feet and the hassle until you're already good and married - then you know what to expect after the honey moon) and she used the word 'gargantuan' in a sentence:
"We got gargantuan wedding presents, and each day I try to clear a path through the living room. We need a bigger apartment, or at least more outlets for all of my new kitchen appliances."

and Jay, who is engaged said the sweetest thing on the wedding webpage, he said "Beth is so easy to love.". Wow. That's as good as the line from that song: "your love is better than chocolate"! I love love somedays - it really is one of the greatest inspirations...

so, nothing much is going on with me. although I'm excited for school -have been for weeks now - I still haven't picked my courses - so I'll start that today. I should take this time to clarify why I've been excited for school - because I know what too expect - my days are filled and I don't have to jobsearch. so anyways - that's my task for the day.

here is a riddle that I thought up - maybe you can help me fine tune it (I like it when riddles rhyme but I need help finding a proper one)- so please post your suggestions and answers here:

my day is spent in vertical to's and fro's,
I come when called and where you list I go.
what am I?

I (heart) Canada

here are a few interesting facts that I have picked up in the past few days - from yahoo and msn home pages.
firstly we have a word I particularly like

gargantuan -
DEFINITION: (adjective) huge, colossal
EXAMPLE: The building of the Great Wall of China was one of the most gargantuan projects ever undertaken.
SYNONYMS: enormous, giant, large

At this time I want to take a moment to think of another example of this word in use:
Our cat, Tom is a gargantuan nuisance when he is hungry; he gets underfoot and meows at the top of his lungs.

here are some interesting thoughts on weight gain (not that I'm big into it- but these 2 stuck out)

*Fast-food salads
Fast-food salads can contain more calories than a burger. A McDonald's chicken caesar salad with dressing has 452 calories compared to a McChicken sandwich, with just 375. It pays to do your research

*Watching TV
If this doesn't get you away from the box, nothing will. Experts at Tulane University in the US have discovered that heart rate, blood pressure and metabolic rate slow so much while we watch TV that we burn 20-30 calories an hour less than if we simply sat still

ok - those were my random thoughts for the day. I hope that you are well.

p.s. happy belated Canada Day - it's newly become my second favourite place to be: Canada - the land of the free health care and education (in many ways at least) (and the land of generous income tax returns for students) yay!
