New blog post! less than a month after my last one! *checks outside* The world hasn't ended!
So I'm at work... bored out of my mind, and I thought to myself "what a better way to waste my time than to self indulgently complain about my day to about six anonymous people and Rae?" The answer from myself to myself was "no better way self, you brilliant human being you, no better way." But actually I did nothing at work escept complete the few menial tasks that had to be done (it took me 2 hours), answer phones (4 phone calls), go on facebook, read Fanfiction, get caught up on all the latest facts and throries of my favorite TV shows and check all my favorite blogs. (post secret, failblog, and even MLIA, Rae.)All this makes me a horrible employee and an excellent Nerd. Which seems to be the theme of my life "I'm a horrible student, instead of studying I caught up on Lost, But at least I now know absolutely everything about it!!!" or "I'm a horrible daughter, instead of cleaning my room like my parents asked (begged), I read fanfiction and trolled message boards about all the best shows!" Sometimes I think this nerd mentality is a curse. When I like somthing I don't just like it, I obssess over it, and I obssess HARD. I've heard this from a bunch of other nerds so I know it's not just me. It's like this obsessive complusive need to know everything about something. If I find something I like I must immediatly watch/ read everything to do with it and then troll the internet for any extra theories/facts/oppinions/cannon, and screw anything else I have to do. This is obviously more importanant. I mean I know other people who love The U.K. and the culture and the history but not a lot of them would go out of their way to learn Welsh (so hard.)For abosolutely no reason at all. Oh man... It just leads me to believe that there is a certain predisposition to being a nerd. I just do a study. I could make millions, win a nobel prize... I'd probably need a psych degree... too much work. Maybe I'll make it a YA novel. They're always more profound than people give them credit for.
In other news Savy is staying at my house for august long, which is exciting. i'll get to see Rae again which is lovely!
I also through a successful surprise party on Sunday! I was pleased that she had no idea! Woo!
I am so ready to be done with work and go back to school. although I know that the minute I get there I'll be done with school and ready to go back to doing Jack all. I think I'm going to travel next summer. That'll be nice, and I deserve some off time. I've been in school for the past 14 years and working the entire summer for the past 6. thats six years of just getting weekends off. I think if I work another summer without taking a break I'm going to throw something through a window.
Update for those who care: I have twenty minutes left! Woo! This post has successfully wasted time and I Should probably go tidy things up before I leave. Blogs out of boredom.... hopefully it's not too boring.
TTFN,
Julie

Tienes un amigo en mí Sí Usted tiene un amigo en mí.
So I suck. I've told Rae this many many times in the past couple of days... usually the day after I promised her I'd blog. So I suck. Sorry.
Alot's happend since the last time I blogged. Lost ended which was tragic. I thought it ended brilliantly. It was emotionally fulfilling and it was everything I wanted it to be. Toy Story 3 came out!!!!! Can I just say I've been waiting 11 years for this sucker? It lived up to, and surpassed, my every expectation So that's nice. I also have the spanish version of "You've got a Friend in me" Stuck in my head, Which is bad because I don't particularly speak Spanish so I just pretend to know the words and hope I'm not saying anything embarrassing. I've gotten obsessed with Doctor Who and Torchwood. D'ONT LAUGH. Both shows are beyond amazing and I love them to pieces.
Soccer (I hate calling it that, but I feel like an impostor if I call it Football) has started and almost finished. I love the world cup. So much. It makes me happy. I love sports for the way they can bring a nation together. Canada saw it with the Vancouver Olympics in 2010 and many countries around the world are seeing it now. I started out cheering For England, because I always cheer for England, But they played like crap for most of it and ended up getting knocked out of the Round of 16 by Germany, much to my disappointment and embarrassment (Adam will never let me hear the end of it.) I also cheered for New Zeland. They were supposed to be a lightweight team, but they ended up playing brilliantly and even though they got knocked out in the group stage, they still held their own (Even Tying Italy, The reining champs) After that I cheered for Netherlands on one side and Spain on the other. Of course it's just my luck that They both made the final. I totally should have put money down. I'm going to cheer for Spain, not only because they beat Germany (!!!) but because they also played absolutely Brilliantly in that game, they have excellent Ball handling skills (That's what she said?) This is also the first time they've been in the World cup final. Ever. So I'm pleased for them. Plus their colours are red and gold so they must be Gryffindors and that means I have to cheer for them.
In me news, I'm learning Welsh, which is a bitch of a language. Seriously I can' make half the sounds that it requires, it's also not a stagnant language, they have what they call mutations which change how certain consonants and vowels sound. But there's no trick you just have to know. I love languages but next time I decide to learn one please remind me to pick one with the same alphabet as english, and not a language that not even it's own people speak! (only about 40% of welsh people speak welsh.) I've also developed an affection for Wales, and all the UK really, but The Welsh have the best accents ever. I'm thinking I'm going to move to the UK when I'm done with school. I can apply for a Ancestry Visa because I have a grandparent that was born there, and after 5 years I can apply for Citizenship.
I've been writing. Sorta. I always come up with a good idea and I'll start writing it, then I'll get stuck, get bored, and give up. I so don't have the patience.
I'm going to BC this weekend to meet up with my parents. It was supposed to be a trip with a couple of friends, but only my Ex boyfriend can come. we're really good friends but I can see it being a bit awkward. I'll let you know how it goes.
