And this is the room one afternoon I knew I could love you...

17 April 2004 - 2:13 a.m.

Saw the grande-mama on Wed. She tried to get me drunk! Rum and Coke at 11:30 am? Brought home kielbasa for Chris and cabbage rolls for myself.

Came home to "Lisa, it's your birthday..." playing on my iTunes, the room cleaned, dishes done, and presents and cards on my bed. Presents included Beatles memorabilia from James and Steph and a (double!) mix CD from Chris and Mike. It all kicked ass. I love the mix CD! It's really good. And of course I can't forget the message from Myra. I feel very loved :)

Sophie went home, and everyone else seems to have gone to bed. So I'm on my own. Been in the mood to sing loudly, but I haven't found the right songs yet. I have to admit I like the new Avril song. Except my voice sounds likes shit because a) was yelling at the Horseshoe and b)still being consumed (ie. stupid cough) So my voice is scratchy and I seem to be able to hit lower notes than usual! This is good seeing as the majority of the music I listen to is sung by males.

Stand By Me might be my all-time favourite song. It's at least a top three. It makes me want to cry every time I hear it.

Was talking with Sophie about high school. It sounded like all I did was smoke pot! That wasn't all, was it? :) Oh, "taking the dog for a walk..." Seriously, Soph, there was more to it than that!

I never wrote about Thursday... an interesting night. Why do I keep trying to get my friends drunk? I can't afford it... haha. Everyone went to Dis-O, us young'uns (and Scott) stayed in. Got dressed up, Mike played 80's music, I took silly pictures, drank. The others returned, we (very loudly) hung out, don't remember all we did. Sophie "wanted to get laid", James and I and Scott had an Israeli bubblegum war, Soph and I collapsed in laughter all night. Anything else?

So much sitting in the sun today. Attempted to do work, failed miserably. (Am I doomed to only spend hideous winter months with my friends here? We don't even get May and June...)Had the end of year BBQ, ran the raffle. Went smoothly, not including James' inappropriate comments into the microphone. Which were hilarious nonetheless. Holly had thanked me for all of my 'tremendous work', which was all of James and I going down to the Eaton Centre/Yonge St yesterday. Such a chore, I know.

Saw the Daybreak again tonight. They're awesome. I should buy their e.p.

I haven't reached the freak-out stage yet. But I will. And to those who need it : CALM DOWN. YOU'RE AT A 13. I NEED YOU AT A 9. It will all be finished soon. I promise. And we will celebrate the end of a great year.

"And one day we will die and our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea,

But for now we are young let us lay in the sun,

And count every beautiful thing we can see,

Love to be in the arms of all I’m keeping here with me."
