SHE-DEVIL.

ANN COULTER NEEDS TO FALL OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH.



I am so proud of the University of Ottawa for cancelling of her speech tonight.
People like this can only thrive on the offense of others.

Bye, bye facebook

so i deactivated my facebook.

don't get your panties in a knot, i'll be back for sure. i just need a break from facebook for a while. it was starting to seriously take over my life. lately i've been feeling like nothing in my life could exist without technology and i'm absolutely hating it.
if anyone needs to get into contact with me, they should know my phone number and email address. if you don't know either of those, then trust me, i don't want you to get into contact with me.

my goal is to go at least one week without facebook.
i'd like to think of a technological cleanse that will force me to pay more attention to the more important things in life (i.e. homework)

i'm actually excited for this.
wish me luck!

It's crashing in my ears

i should be studying for my french midterm which goes down in T minus 4 hours.
but i'm thinking that it might just be a lost cause. i'm sick of french and sick of studying.
i want summer to be here already!

on a much happier note.. the once-giant mountain of snow that has been outside my window for the past 5 months is almost completely melted!

i had almost forgotten what the ground looked like underneath it

i want this!

Hydrofloors—mechanically operated tiles that sink into the ground slowly, revealing a swimming pool already full of water. According to the manufacturer, the system is "nearly invisible" and you can adjust the depth of the swimming pool to any depth just by using a control panel.

new requirement for next year's house? i think so.

Come on baby play me something like here comes the sun

Today is one of those amazing, perfect days where you can't help but to smile for no particular reason.
I read a book once that claimed it's absurd for humans to feel happiness when the sun shines... that something like the weather cannot possibly be related to emotion.
I wholeheartedly disagree.
The second I walked outside this morning, I knew today would be fantastic; and I was right.
It looks like me and my favourite future and current roomies have FINALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYY found a house that is a.) not a scam, b.) doesn't have bedbugs and/or mice, and c.) is above ground AND has windows!!!
in fact, we currently have 3 houses lined up and all we need to do is pick one!
so yes,
life is good because the sun is finally shining
i'm so happy to live right now
and my best friends in the world will be in ottawa in less than two weeks!
oscar party at my place tonightttt! woo

If people die the moment that they graduate, then surely it's the things we do beforehand that count

lately it's been mine and my roommates' goal to watch all (or at least most) of the movies nominated for Oscars this year. While i still haven't seen all of them, An Education definitely takes my pick for Best Picture this year, so far. It's really a beautiful film.

The best you ever had

haha this song is amazing! i've had it on my ipod for ages, but never really listened to it until today and now i can't stop listening.
so very clever and catchy

Everything's in order in a black hole
Nothing seems as pretty as the past though
That Bloody Mary's lacking her tobasco
Remember when you used to be a rascal?

Also, i would just like to point out the fact that you are nothing special. because to mean anything to me, you would need to actually make an effort to communicate with me.

And i find that what a person with a puddle round his middle thinks of mostly in the muddle is the Muddiness of Mud

i think it is safe to say that spring has sprung here in Ottawa!!

and, with the arrival of this magnificent season and the end of one of the coldest winter's i've ever had to experience comes major changes to my blog.

actually it's mostly just the layout that has changed majorly.. and that i promise to post much more often than i have been.

i'm so excited for life right now. now that my heavy midterms are finally finished and most of the essays are finally written, all i can look forward to is the summer.. which is sure to be one of the greatest everrrrrrrrrr.

p.s. i promise to post arizona pictures either tonight or tomorrow!!

The true north strong and free!
