Dropping the lighter.

Things I don't like:

Headaches
Kitty howling into the night because she is in heat
Not getting a student loan
Dirty dishes
Having to buy five books for one class
School itself
Being unemployed
Being employed
Having a cough for seventeen days (and counting!)
Milk going bad before I can drink it all
Distance classes
Having to print off a 184 paged manual for my distance class
Doctor appointments
Pokemon
Assholes

At this moment I am not looking on the bright side of things. But give me cough free lungs, a murder mystery night and a new book and I'll be good to go.

Speaking of which, I've been reading like crazy in 2009. Here are the books I've read so far this year and I recommend them (minus The Summoning, it sucked) to you!

River Thieves by Michael Crummey
The Summoning by Kelly Armstrong
A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray
Rebel Angels by Libba Bray
The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray

Yeah, I've been on a fantasy kick. But River Thieves was probably the best, holy cow the amount of research he must have done to write that book.

What have you been reading, hmm?

Fear and loathing.

Dear friends,

it would seem I have a virus. The computer sorts. Though I do still have my cold as well (since Boxing Day, and going strong!).

My absence from MSN, this blog, and commenting on other blogs is because I cannot be bothered to put up with the virus nonsense. Formatting my computer is also not an option because my cd drive is filled with super glue. Go me.

And so I'm left to sit and wonder what you're all up to. Unless David wants to be a pal and come to St. John's and fix my computer via USB drive like he did his. But I doubt he will.

One good news tidbit that I do have to share with you all is that I have forsaken the pay-as-you-go plan on my cell phone! I was weary of contracts with tumultuous companies like the non-existent Aliant, but found a loophole that allows me to have unlimited texting and other such perks.

So now I welcome your annoying texts of "what's up?", "i want to open a yarn store", and "i love your pussy". SEND THEM MY WAY.

But alas, I must go nap for this has tired me so. To anyone who missed last night's Merrymeeting party: for shame! Twas a blast like always. But don't worry, were batting a good two or three gatherings a week now, so another shan't be far in the distance.

Yours in love,
Sarah :)

Cough cough cough.

Oops! Miss me?

Life in a nutshell time:

My heart is significantly sadder today as my brother is venturing back to the Arctic as I type this. Hmmm. Not cool. Him leaving that is. The Arctic is cool... in a literal sense.

Yeah.

We now have a fourth roomie on Merrymeeting, Mr. Joey Miller. I know. You are jealous. But it is my chesterfield that Joey inhabits. DEAL.

I have this rip roaring cough that tears apart families and creates holes in the ozone. It leaves me gagging and crying and in desperate need of Buckleys or a 7up/OJ combo.

Robyn comes home Tuesday. I better be her date on Wednesday. THIS IS ME TELLING YOU, ROBYN MCHUGH, THAT WE HAVE A DATE ON WEDNESDAY.

I haven't seen anyone in so long. Robert Jones where are you? Not in my new house, that's for sure. Are we still on for Monday night Poli Sci classes?

I got married on Harvest Moon. To a farmer named Blue. We're happy together. If only a relationship was as easy as giving a boy fresh milk everyday until he wants to wed you. I would invest in a cow of my own. Or not.

LET'S ALL BE FRIENDS THIS WEEKEND, HMMM?

Tales.

Auld lang syne.

With the last day of the year upon me, I am left to reflect on how it went.

My 2008 began in Stephenville, where I brought in the New Year with the most important people... my Stephenville family.

My spring was unmemorable. Actually, I didn't remember anything until I saw these pictures:

And then there was the summer. Three things stand out for the summer in my head.

One - Robyn

Two - My Brother

Three - The Road Trip


And of course the fall and winter of 2008 which equals:




And here is hoping that next year's post will be just as (if not more so) full.
