I'm sure everyone knows about the disgrace and disaster Vancouver is. Not because they lost against Boston, I was happy about that, but the way they reacted to the loss. The riot is in international news and now Canada is disgraced not but one year after our incredible Olympic run.
I don't blame the city. I blame the fans, I always did say I hated the Canucks. And thus my reasons for hating them has been justified on an international level.
It also brought to my attention that my sense of humour is...perhaps not as good as I thought it was. Or perhaps I just enjoy dry humour to much? Someone posted a note on facebook that was supposed to be a funny story. I read it and didn't find anything funny about it. I think the only thing I got out of that note was that A) they hinted that being a lesbian was a bad thing and B) the girl and guy in the story are either good friends or flirting with each other, or messing around and being eccentrically strange.
Perhaps I'm just not a very good people person? Or maybe I'm too serious sometimes when it comes to certain things. I don't find mean humour to be funny usually, the rare cases of it being directed at people who deserve it. Probably why I hate people who "troll" as it seems it's become and incredibly popular term to use as a verb and noun. And I dislike people who seem to be unable to take anything seriously.
I know my last post I was talking about how blah my life it. But at least I know that life is real, and not a joke or a game. Life is life, you live it once, people live it once, everyone and everything with a soul lives it once. You may find it funny when you're "trolling" someone but others can find it both hurtful and offending. Get some tact or perhaps a brain. Don't only think, but think and be a little sensitive hm? Because as overly sensitive as I may seem from my words, I have no reason to care about anyone who deserves whats coming to them.
Much like the people who rioted in Vancouver, I hope they all get arrested and be sentenced and punished for what they did. Teenagers and adults alike. You should know better. I'm disgusted with not only those people who were weak enough of succumb to mob mentality, but everyone who cheered them on and everyone else who is gets joy and fun out of the pain and suffering of others.
If you've got a problem with the rules. Get out of the country. Get out of this world. This time. This society. Cause guess what? The world has laws, and you obey them or you get punished? Don't like it? Well too fucking bad for you.
If everyone in the world was even one sixth of a person as someone who can admit who they are to the world without shame. That world would be a much better place than this one.

Body vs Mind
Sorry, I said I would update on my birthday but I totally forgot. I had training for my new job for Statistics Canada that day and spent the evening with my family mostly. The next couple days was me either relaxing or doing census stuff.
So yeah, I got a new job, I'm 19 now and honestly other than work and numerous people calling my cellphone and house now life hasn't changed.
Aging one year doesn't change anything really. To some people it may but turning 18 wasn't that big of a deal other than voting. And 19 really has even less changes other than the fact I realized I'm one year from living 20 years. When that came to my mind it was like a HOLY CRAP moment I had. The thing is life continues on no matter what.
The earth will still spin, time still runs, and life drags on. Perhaps the term dragging on is a little pessimistic sounding but to me thats how it seems really. I wake up for what exactly? Not much, what do I have to look forward to when I sleep? Not much.
School. Work. Sleep. Eat. School. Work. Sleep. Eat.
Life is rather monotone don't you think? The smatterings of entertainment is only temporary and I sometimes wonder if actual happiness throughout life is possible. It's when I wish I had the ability, or rather the guts to actually live life. I have time, many would say but I don't have the guts nor the will to put anything into action. I'm like that, a monotone life for a monotone girl.
So I'm 19 years old now. Good for me. Now back to life.
Take pleasure in the little things, because big things don't come along much in life.

Love vs Life
As I'm typing this theres thunder rumbling outside my window with heavy rain coming down accompanying it. I'm hungry, and realizing that it's June. The first day of June.
I've spent my summer so far, applying tow some jobs and a volunteering position. I've also spent my summer, sleeping eating, reading, writing and giving myself a terribly sore back and a very unhealthy life. I also spend my time waiting for when my brothers have their days off on the same day so we can hang out together which doesn't happen as often as I would like it to.
I have friends in Calgary and yet we haven't really gone out together other than a late night excursion for an hour or two to talk a little. Plans we thought we'd do were never done, and I've been thinking a little too deeply in my spare time.
Now I haven't had any grand revelations or wisdoms to share really, just self realizations. I seem to be getting those a lot after I started university, or maybe I've just thought about it long enough now to reach some sort of conclusion. Well half-conclusion. A conclusion I'm not completely in denial about.
I won't say what I've decided or thought about, that's a little too personal I think for a blog post haha. I'm sure a couple of you might already be thinking this about me if you know me well enough, the hints have been there. But that's all I'll say.
Anyways enough about mysterious vague talks about myself. Just came on to talk a little about how I've been lately. AKA, feeling a little fat, having lower back problems, a little bored, and feeling a little old.
I'll post again in eleven days on my birthday.
It's sad when you know that in reality, an idealist will never go far with their ideals.

Possible vs Impossible
I have little to say due to my incredible disappointment. To say the least. The Conservative government won a majority government. The very thing I feared the most. With majority they can literally pass any bill or policy they want.
They can change the name of the government.
They can push gay marriage off the legal table.
They will continue to cut money to needed social services for Canadians everywhere. Because you know what. Not everyone is middle class, the majority may be but I find that people forget there are people in need here. And the sad thing is the people who mind tax raises the most aren't living in provinces with GST and PST which can add an extra 15% onto prices. But the rich provinces like Alberta who only pay the 5% GST.
They will also cut taxes form major corporations which really just mean US corporations working in Canada, giving more money to the stockholders and CEO's and less for the average citizen.
With such a government I honestly believe Canada will become nothing more than the United States hat. We might as well get annexed, I much prefer Obama.
In much better news, we had a girl's night today with a whole bunch of friends who came back home. Much missed company, laughs and personalities. Though it did bring into perspective how much I've changed in this single year of university.
I never thought it was possible but I think I've become even more...well sensitive. Not in the personal touchy feely way, but the "oh, that really isn't proper and could seriously offend someone" way. I suppose as I continue on my little path this transformation is inevitable. I'm a little glad it's happening though, it means- in my view- I'm becoming a better person.
And to anyone who didn't know it before. I'm Socialist- hell if Communist worked by the theory I'd gladly by communist.
Spring has come, and a new chapter begins.
Whether it's one of doom or not- we'll have to read and see.

Ego vs Superego vs ID
It's been a while since my last post, and really I'm only posting cause someone bugged me to. Well heres an update about me, ahem.
It's now the end of April, meaning I've just finished my April exams. Meaning? I'm done my first year of University, both yay and nay. I'm a little anxious about my marks, since I'm not exactly an A student. I just hope to up my GPA from my first semester one which was below 3.0. I'd be happy to be at 3.0 now so...wish me luck? Haha. It's kinda weird because I'm actually doing a lot better in terms of effort and percentage now than when I was in high school. Of course now, the passing grade of 50 won't get me anywhere but the path of a dropout. Not that I was ever a 50% student.
Onto some good news, my cousin had her child a week and a half ago! A girl, who they named Kayla. She looks a lot like her dad which worries me a little (xD) But otherwise she was born with a head full of hair,, tiny feet, tiny hands and healthy which is very good. My brothers and I had a looong argument about what our "relationship" was to her. After much arguing, wiking and "I told you so's" we had all agreed that Kayla was our first cousin once removed. Wonderful isn't it? I really hate English genealogy btw. I can't really call Kayla my first once removed to her face can I? Not like grandma, or aunt.
As for less personal news, I'm sure everyone knows (not) that the federal election is coming up here in Canada. And honestly, I find the prospects not so great and depressing compared to our municipal election, which I'm sure everyone remembered me being very pumped for. (NENSHI!!)
I've done some quick, I'm too lazy to really care but I should research. And I've concluded this.
1. No Harper
Why? I do not want the government to be called the Harper Government. Can someone so narcissistic? Nor do I want to be governed by a system named after a man which probably scares small children.
2. No Conservatives AT ALL
This may sound like I'm just repeating the first one. Well I am. but on a more general level =D. I have no interest in a majority conservative government is more of my meaning. Perhaps even more so than Harper being PM. Cause honestly from traditional conservative views and beliefs, they're completely American in my view. And American like "hi I'm a redneck, I drink beer, look down on woman, don't care about the poor and needy, I'm also racist, sexist, narcissistic, egotistic, homophobic and I hate fascist Communist -hic-."
3. It's a three way tie between the Liberals NDP and Green for me.
Honestly I'm usually a Liberal supporter, but I really don't like Micheal. But...I'm willing to give him a try over a Conservative majority government or a Harper PM. I like the ideas of the NDP but they're too unrealistic about taxes. At least the Liberals aren't lying and saying that taxes won't be raised. As for the Greens, I love the environment- but let's be honest here. The Green Party isn't what Canada needs right now. I think perhaps a few decades down the line the Greens could be a strong rival party but for now? No.
Come round May 2nd, I'll probably vote Liberal. Unless anyone can convince me to vote one of the other two? Just don't try to change me to Harper, cause I may just call you stupid to your face and laugh at you.
