    OH MY GOD! I can FINALLY update!!
    Contrary to popular belief, I have not dropped off the planet – my computer did. A week and a half before Christmas, my computer blew up. Yes, blew up. Smoke was coming out of the back of it…apparently, there was an electrical shortage inside the CPU and it fried my whole system. I lost everything. Everything. EVERYTHING. I’m still *slightly* upset and still trying to wrap my mind around all the files I lost. My computer is back now, with a new hard drive, but it still doesn’t work properly; it won’t shut down and the internal modem has stopped working. So I’m using an old external modem, which means I don’t have enough plug space for my speakers and scanner. < < sigh > >
    Anyway, before my computer crashed, life was just crazy-busy with Christmas approaching, school assignments due, and more school assignments due. Oh, and Tripod was being a rat-bastard and not letting me in. Stupid merger with Lycos… Now however, the holidays are over, Tripod is letting me in, and life is calming down… a bit.
    In honour of my (almost) month long absence, here’s a deluxe version of fill-in-the-blanks:

    time:
    10:29pm
    IMing with:
    Tonya, Elizabeth, Jeff, and Allie
    **PLEASE NOTE:** if you haven’t spoken to me since before Christmas, please IM me so I can add you to my Buddy List
    singing along with:
    Les Miserables, “I Dreamed A Dream”
    did Lisa update recently?:
    I think the fact that this page was updated finally consists of a major update!
    Road Trips since December 8th:
    Buffalo, NY, Sarasota, FL, and Grimsby, ON (the name says it all…)
    theatrical productions I’ve seen since December 8th:
    Rent twice (Benny Tour) and Art. Rent was great as always, especially Maggie as Maureen. My review will be up in My Rent very soon. Art was very interesting. I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t love it. I did however, LOVE Yvan’s ten minute monolgue :). He absolutely stole the show with that!
    anticipating:
    New York City on Friday and Oliver! tomorrow
    stressing about currently:

  • SO much work to do and so little time to do it
  • the fact that I have no money in my bank account
  • didn’t hand in an essay that was due before the Christmas break (I just totally forgot about it!)
  • final exams are approaching!
  • will I get into the universities I want?
    pissed me off in the last 4 weeks:
  • computer blowing up
  • computer loosing half my politics project (two essays) and a media log
  • everything being a re-run on TV!
  • my cousin Sarah… she’s 11… oy, let’s not even go there
  • Tripod being a rat-bastard
  • did I mention my computer blew up?
  • there's more... I just don't remember it all, so it obviously wasn't that important!
    made me sad in the past 4 weeks:
  • loosing so much off my computer…I was in tears as I realized one by one all the ‘projects’ and files I lost
  • Christmas being over
  • Tonya’s lack of penis seeing
  • the general misfortune of so many people in the world… I get all philosophical and deep-thinking around the holidays
    made me happy in the past 4 weeks:
  • somebody remembers me and says "hi" (it really doesn’t take much:))
  • Christmas!!!
  • Tripod finally letting me update
  • being mentioned as part of Gail’s “tribe”
  • 90% on my second politics test... yup, highest mark in the grade:)
  • all my friends, who never cease to make me laugh and cry
  • my crazy-ass family, who I truly love, especially when we all get together
  • there is so much more that could go under this one...
    I really should be:
    doing homework... doing more homework...
    read since I last updated:
  • 'Tis by Frank McCourt. Yup, I finally finished it! It was wonderful
  • Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling. Okay, so it’s classified as a ‘children’s’ book, but let me tell you, IT ROCKS! Harry Potter kicks all ass. I cannot wait to read the next two! Rowling has an incredible writing style… she’s wonderful.. I’m really looking forward to reading her book for adults too!
  • Timeline by Michael Crichton. Though it’s begging to be made into a movie, the book was fabulous. Love the idea… characters were a bit weak, but the plot was great fun.
  • Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul Vol. II by the chicken soup guys and gals.
  • Little Alters Everywhere by Rebecca Wells. This is the first book in the Siddalee Walker set and it was wonderful. Not as good as the Ya-Yas, but nothing is.
  • Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells. I had to read it again… it such a fabulous book!
    new thing I did / learned in the past 4 weeks:
  • someone remembered me
  • sex, drugs and musicals make for a dsam interesting conversation
  • I e-mailed a certain person coughCBcough
  • there is still a party in Jeremy’s pants (thanks Turtle for the update)
  • giving really is better than receiving
  • once again, there's a lot that could go under here...
    link me up:
    no, YOU link ME up! Please, please, PLEASE e-mail me with all of your fun links and sites that you have bookmarked… I lost everything, remember? Please re-stock my empty bookmark folder!
