i've been an awful blogger, haven't i? i criticize people for blogging more than i have in the past month or so.

anyway, yeah, lots has happened, but i won't write about it in gruesome detail because you all know already, i think. oh, before i forget, happy new year. >_> my mom and i did oil and chocolate fondue, which as fun. :D and we had a lord of the rings marathon which i passively watched while chatting on AIM. there's been a grep chat pretty much every night for the past week. i'll bet there's one right now, but i'm not online to find out. i haven't really had a good night's sleep since those started back up.

so, yeah, our cohesion is back! :D yes, that would be grep. :D it truly was the glue that kept us together. this time around i'm helping jbeth out on the pluto team. funfun. *_* i'm a big fan of that detention button now. *strokes it* >D

what else… not really sure what to say. school started for me on the THIRD (how insane is that!?). -_- wasn't too happy about that. aside from going more broke that i've ever been before (thanks to tuition and books), my anime expo savings account survived unscathed, surprisingly. now to pay off the credit cards i've been using wayyyyy too much. x_x and get the $600-something back that i've lent out. -_- and do my tax returnS! yes, plural!! -_- the only reason i haven't done 2005's is because i'm still waiting on a government document (statement of interest paid on student loans) which they're being real cunts about. i really, really hate the canada student loan people, and i ought to give them a piece of my mind one of these days. they provide NO contact information on their website, not even a phone number. and i've filled out their pathetic online form several times with no reply whatsoever. so, yeah, i'm a little pissed here. i have all my other documents ready to go. -_- 2006's tax stuff is coming up really quick, i want to have this done and over with.

still a few stragglers for secret santa, just as there are every year. i'm one of them. X_x don't worry, those who haven't received anything yet. if you haven't received anything by february, then i'd worry.

i posted my classes that i'm taking, right? those who stalk my profile on facebook (haha, no one) should know i'm taking a computer teaching class, an astronomy class, a genetics class, and a japanese class. so far japanese is the most demanding. i had homework for today and there's kanji homework due for monday as well as a vocab quiz. the kanji homework always takes me forever, moreso than studying for kanji quizzes. give me an hour and i can memorize about 20 kanji. the kanji homework usually takes about two. :(

bleh, i work tomorrow. i can kiss my weekends goodbye, but i did it on purpose. i restricted my hours, starting january, to work weekends only. bad news is that means less money for me. it shouldn't interfere with AX (hopefully!) since i'll still have the same amount of money being transfered into my special account each week, but it might be tighter for me to pay bills, and such. especially now that i have a cellphone again. x_x

yeah, that's right. i got my mother a cellphone, too. we're under the same account, actually. it was her christmas present from me. she's never owned one before, can you believe it? o_o so, yeah, my number is on facebook. if you want it, check it out. if you want to burn some money calling me internationally, feel free! :D no guarantees text messaging will work either.

well, that's it for now. i leave it to you guys to force me to blog more. kick me in the rear if i don't blog at least once in a week. :( kthxbi.
