take it all away

For my very first weekend in the traditional definition (no assignments due friday, saturday, sunday nights,) I went downtown, walked from one side to the other and around a bit more, met up with a friend to eat and then watched a movie. What movie you ask? The worst movie ever, otherwise known as team america: world police. If you have any maturity or real sense of humour, there's no need to see this one. If you are easily entertained by your own reflection in some dirty silverware, it was made just for you. I want those brain cells back.

As winter approaches, I find myself more frequently thinking about how nice it would be to have another human being to spend time with when the days grow colder and daylight is only to be enjoyed on lunch break. I don't see how it could work though, because the only time I have at home is spent sleeping, eating, or relaxing on the couch. And then there's the whole family thing. Oh, hah, speaking of family, I was talking to one of my sis' while my other sis and the baby were playing in the family room, and I was trying to explain what we're allowed to say about a game and what not. The younger sis playing with the baby thought we were talking about another subject that sounds somewhat like game, and gave me the most horrified look. It was pretty entertaining in it's own weird way.

Back to the business at hand. It would be cool to be all grown up and to have someone to share thoughts and couch space with. Part of me is starting to get frustrated at the fact that such a thing won't be possible this winter, another part of me is constantly thinking of ways to meet people; but then, the type of people I want to meet aren't easy to find. (hah, I sound like I know who they are and just have to find them.)

I must say, that my situation right now is generally much better than if I were off renting my own place. Sure I don't have hardly any privacy, and everything is so far away, but my dad carpools me off to the skytrain station, and there is always a hot meal waiting for me when I return home. If I were on my own, I would probably live closer to work, but I would also probably eat kraft dinner every night cause I have no energy left to make anything involving more effort.

I wish it were raining right now. It would make a cup of hot chocolate and a warm blanket feel that much better.

edit - just finished watching kate & leopold. grr. multiplied state of singleness described above.
