Happy New Year!

I've changed my plans 4 times tonight. What to do, what to do? It doesn't feel like the last day of 2004. It doesn't feel like the end of the year. It doesn't even feel like winter! So should I treat tonight as I would any other night of the year? Maybe. I've never been a big fan of new year's eve celebrations and I don't see why this year will be different. So I'm not going to make it so. I will impart absolutely no effort to do anything special tonight. It's working so far. Well there's still a few hours left so who knows how true this will be when the night ends. Sorry for changing my mind so many times and being non-committal tonight, guys..hahaha.

2004 has been a great year. Lots of life changes - I graduated, got licensed, travelled far, bought a car, attended some amazing concerts, started working in the Real World, and of course, most importantly, experienced a lot of personal growth and development. The one relationship I feel that has developed the most is the one I have with my sister. It's so hard to believe that we've grown so close in the past year. We actually talk now. And we've significantly decreased our fights down from an average of 1 every 2 days to maybe 1 every week...and even that 1 is nothing compared to the arguments we used to have. I mean, there's considerably less screaming, cussing, crying, and punching...haha. Seriously, I am so happy that we can actually talk civilly. Yea!

2004 is also a year that I'll remember as being very fun. I think I've relaxed a lot over the last several years...I am realizing that enjoying the moment is one of the most important ways to enjoy life. This year, I really really tried to be less anal =)

Here's hoping 2005 will also be a good one :)

Happy New Year!!

groupie insanity

I was this close - thisclose - to going to see The Stills in NYC. I'm 100% sure I would have gotten the tickets cuz I was online when I received the email stating the first 100 ppl to respond to the email would win free tickets to the invite-only show. But the concert is December 13th in New York City for freak's sake. I spent a serious three minutes debating the possibility of going to NYC...

yea! 4 days off this week (plus 1 meeting...)

In response to the rude comment made by a bored brampton library archiver who sounds annoying on the phone, here are some pics of Montreal. I don't know how many of you will actually enjoy them cuz they're mostly of the band, and a lot of the ones near the beginning of the concert aren't that good cuz I was refraining from using the flash (so as not to blind the young rockers) but I said, "screw that" after the shots kept turning out blurry. ANYWAY, I can't believe naomi's so unappreciative of my last entry, since it finally gave her something to do at work :P

Last Friday I worked with.......Dave! He's the 2nd person from my class I've had the opportunity to work with. It's such a rare occurence in community pharmacy and I appreciate the chance each time this happens. It's so odd to see someone from your class actually practicing...especially Dave...hahaha. I kept waiting for him to say, "So can I get your number so I can give you a call sometime?" I know it's been a couple of years since that infamous role-play in class but this is what I mean about it being odd to work with a classmate. I guess it's cuz we went through the same schooling, we're aware of how little we knew when we first started pharmacy...and also cuz i know Dave mostly as a drunken clubber who always looks lost/confused in whatever he's doing, despite owning 10 palm pilots ;) It's crazy. Anyway, so glad he was there cuz that was the most tiring shift I've ever worked...absolutely no break for 12 and 1/2 hours!

so I finally listened to the Muse album that I got almost a year ago. and i LOVE it! I've been listening to it in my car to/from work everyday the past week. The first time I listened to the entire album was when we drove to Montreal but that doesn't really count cuz I wasn't fully listening. And now that I have, I am amazed. At first, I thought I would only like the singles (I bought it only cuz of "Time is Running Out" and I love "Hysteria") but the entire album is amazing. Yet another reason to live in England.
