In a way, it’s someone else’s story
I don’t see myself as taking part at all
Today:
August 11, 1999
Time: 11:00 p.m.
Picture of the day:
Wasn’t I a strange child? 🙂
Happy Birthday to a couple of people coming up here…Melanie tomorrow, and Alison the day after that. (Ooh, now I have the urge to listen to Kiss of the Spider Woman…) If you guys read this, I hope you have a wonderful day!
I just took an online IQ test, and did quite horribly. 🙂 Probably because it was mostly math stuff that I haven’t had to think about in three years. But still, I feel stupid now. 🙂 I think I need to go find the test my little brother did…he tells me he scores 145. Not that I don’t think he’s smart or anything, but if he can get that, I ought to be able to get a really good score! 🙂
My sister and I watched the old TV movie “Elvis and Me” last night. I used to LOVE that movie. I’d watch it all the time. It still just blows my mind that Priscilla was only 15 when she met Elvis. I mean, can you imagine?? Getting your first kiss at 15, and having it be Elvis Presley?? Wow. Anyway, we were just watching it ’cause next week’s the anniversary of his death and all that. I have this strange sort of mini-obsession with Elvis…it’s kind of hard to have a full-blown obsession since the man’s dead. 🙂 But if I’d been this age in the ’50s, I would have totally been an Elvis fan.
My sister and I also went to Lloyd on the weekend to see the Blair Witch Project. Normally I don’t like scary movies and actually avoid them at all costs, but this one intrigued me, so I went. And I actually enjoyed it quite a bit, thought it wasn’t near as scary as I’d been led to believe. And excuse me, but if you were out camping in the woods, and you thought there was a witch around, and then something came and shook your tent in the middle of the night, WOULD YOU GET OUT OF THE TENT??? I don’t think I would. I also wouldn’t go into abandoned houses in the middle of the night, but again, maybe that’s just me. 🙂
I’ve actually been having a bit of fun at work this week…we’ve got a computer camp going on, and the kids are so much fun. It’s tiring too…I’ve been exhausted the last few days, but in a good way.
So far this Germany trip hasn’t fallen through…I’m not totally counting on it yet, but it’s looking like it might actually happen! We checked into dates, and if we go, it’ll be over Thanksgiving weekend in Canada, the 7-11 of October, or thereabouts. And I could actually fly right out of Ottawa, which is highly convenient. I’ll keep you posted!
Speaking of things falling through though, pretty much all my plans for school this next year are not working out. Right now, I don’t have money to pay tuition (my student loan was denied), a place to live (the people I was supposed to stay with backed out), and no good courses to take! Doesn’t that sound like fun?! 🙂 I’m sure it will work out…things always do…but I wish it could be a little less stressful!
Anyway, I better get to bed if I intend to be half-energetic for the last day of computer camp tomorrow. Oh, and I’m terribly jealous of Karen and Gill, who get to see Tim this weekend! 🙂 It’s been way too long.
Good night!
