8. Most overrated book
This one is super easy: Twilight.
Now I’m not saying that I don’t like Twilight - quite the opposite, in fact. (Yes, I am not ashamed to admit that I enjoy Twilight.) But it would be an understatement to say that this book is overrated. It’s fun to watch Edward and Bella fall in love, and I always enjoy books that slowly move through everyday lives with much detail without...

Lego Harry Potter: Years 1 - 4
I just finished this game (as in 100% completion) a couple days ago. I wouldn’t recommend buying it. I logged 17 hours I believe, and I kinda want those hours back. I was much more impressed with Lego Indiana Jones for the Xbox360. I think the DS version just can’t stand up next to the other versions because they don’t go into the same level of a free world that console...

I'm known for my loudness everywhere
One of my suitemates makes me a little crazy. Adam’s room is right beside the kitchen and the lounge, which is unfortunate. He’s always telling us to be quiet because he’s studying or sleeping, and although I sympathize with him, it’s frickin annoying. I get woken up on mornings when I intend to sleep in by everyone else who has to get up for class, but I never complain. I...

TV taught me something after all
I’m taking down the key terms for this week’s psychology chapter (Biological Foundations of Behaviour), and I’m very amused when I recognize terms such as temporal lobe or prefrontal cortex. Where did I learn these parts of the brain? Grey’s Anatomy.

I think I'm going to get a good mark, though...
Art homework is very taxing. I find it much more difficult than regular homework. I guess it’s just hard to think about art as homework rather than something that’s done primarily for enjoyment. And even though it’s a hell of a lot harder to do art homework than textbook homework, it’s much more satisfying when you’re done. I currently have 13 finished pieces for my...

Do you think high schools should give out free...
You know, I’m not sure what I think about this. The legal age of consent for sex is 16, right? So I think that high schools should give free contraceptives for students older than 16. But at the same time, I don’t think they should make that distinction. I think that instead of it being the high school’s job to try to keep kids from getting knocked up, parents should be more open...

7. Most underrated book
I’ve been stuck on this one for ages. I don’t really know of any books that are incredibly underrated. I’m just going to go with The Host by Stephenie Meyer, because the Twilight series gets crazy attention but nobody likes The Host. Most of the people who love Twilight (ie. little girls) don’t like The Host because it’s very different, and most people who don’t...

T-shirt: "This is what a feminist looks like."
This week’s soup kitchen had potato soup! My absolute favourite <3 Well, my real favourite is creamy potato with bacon, but we make everything vegan for eco house activities. I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for the potato soup in the cafeterias. Our soup ended up more like onion soup anyway :P
The speaker this evening was a girl who majored in women’s studies (uh oh). I...

I've still got it
I feel so kick ass right now. We played our first game of inner tube water polo, which is a hell of a lot harder than I expected. I expected a laid-back time in the pool, floating around and tossing a ball. We were thrashing around, though, swimming furiously. Our team was down a player because there can be no more than 3 guys and 3 girls in the pool at a time, and we only had 2 guys at the game....

Welcome to the Brick House
I sit at my desk most of the morning, getting all my Tumblr, Facebook and e-mail stuff done so I have the rest of the day for homework and a social life. One of my suitemates prefers to use the shower right by my room, which happens to be ridiculously tiny (the plus side is the shower head is magnificent). I get a show every morning when he strips down to his boxers before getting in :P (No,...

Another long headache
I’m in this awful place right now, and I don’t know how to describe it or get out. It’s like I have this angst that won’t get out of my chest, and I’m afraid of everything. I’ve been having bad or intense dreams that make my sleep less restful, so when I wake up I feel like crap. I’m finding it so hard to do my homework, and I have this huge art project...

TV and fishes
The premiere of Grey’s Anatomy has me feeling very mortal. It just revisited individual experiences from the finale and introduced us to their own issues of post-traumatic stress. It should’ve been a 2 hour episode so that something (anything) could be closer to being resolved.
Related to mortality, if my fish dies I’m going to be very upset. Having something else in my room...

What is your take on people who self-harm?
I think that people who self-harm are dealing with troubles and haven’t found a healthier way to find some peace. I totally see where they’re coming from, and sometimes I’m afraid that I could take up the habit… People who make fun of people who cut (burn, etc.) are insensitive and ignorant. Even if self-harm was being done solely “for attention,” the person...

Have you experienced your "first true love" yet?...
I know love. I don’t like to stick on cheesy labels of “first true love” and such, but I suppose that since what I have with Sam is my first love, and it is true, you could say that yes, I have experienced this. Sam and I exist in a symbiosis, and it’s really incredible. To have such a close and intimate relationship is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Sam...

8. A little about your family
I have a lovely family :) I may bitch and rant about them, but I really wouldn’t want anyone different <3
My parents are very laid back and have let me have a lot of control over my life. I was always allowed to go out wherever and whenever I wanted, and they never breathed down my neck about projects or what I could potentially be doing when I wasn’t at home. They trust me to be...

I like to be punctual goddamnit
I am hiding from my community meeting. I’m so sick of stupid meetings being at stupid times, and I have a whole lot more important things to be doing. I have a shitload of work left to do even though I’ve managed to finish almost all the readings for the week (go me!), and I’m headed to an SLG (basically an extra class designed to make me do better in my psych class) at 7. So no,...

My studio lab is very stressful
Art is so scary and stressful! You might work so hard on something and put everything you’ve got into it, only to have it turned away by the teacher. Not to mention that it takes over your life. I have to do 20 different types of drawings for next Friday. That wouldn’t be too bad, but I also have an English assignment and all my readings, too. Art is fun and fulfilling if you really...
