| As I sit and muse upon earl grey tea and songs from RENT, I can't help but to look back and think how wonderful it has been, and how good I've had it. For the last few years, through it all, everything has had it's own brand of perfection.
Beginnings, endings, continuations. Irony. Full-circles.
From the beginning to now, it feels amazing. There have been so many songs, it's almost as if my past is made up entirely of songs. Each one holds a different memory, and each one remains close to my heart. Each memory has a person, some people have more memories than others...
Suffice it to say that love is best when it's the everlasting brand, because it never grows old.

Current Music: Package 212 - Stupid Love Song (Retro)
To Be A Man
The man of greatest strength
is also one of gentleness.
The most accomplished man
learns both from failure and success.
The man of strongest leadership
knows how to follow too--
And that asking help can sometimes be
the best thing he can do.
The wisest man of all is one
who takes a look within--
To embrace what he's becoming,
and to learn from where he's been.
If a man attempts all this
(and only someone special can),
Then he truly has the heart and soul
it takes to be a man.
-Unknown
How much easier it is to be critical than to be correct.

" Writing "
Current Mood: Pensive
Current Music: Moffatts - Misery
I was going to make an entry earlier, I was all riled up to get my thoughts written down; I wanted to get everything sorted out in my own mind. But as with many things - letters to people, emails, stories, poems, even things that I mean to tell people - now that the moment has arrived, regardless of having thought over what I wanted to write, I'm hesitating and unsure.
I wanted to write about how I've felt somehow shaken up and inexplicably not myself this past week. I wanted to write about how my biggest social fear is haunting me again. I wanted to write about how old wounds and insufficiencies seem to be resurfacing. I wanted to write about how terrified I am of what's to come. I wanted to write about the feeling of uneasiness that has come over me again, the feeling that always means something is awry in my world. I wanted to write down all that and more but now I don't think that's going to happen. At least not here and now.
I've lost touch with a lot of people over the years, and to be perfectly honest I couldn't be happier to be rid of some. But there are others, a lot of others, that I wish I still knew and could talk to. But I suppose that's probably largely my fault. Maybe I should start doing something about that.
Maybe I'm blowing everything out of proportion.. that tends to happen when I think about things while I have a prevalent feeling of uneasiness. 'Tis the parasitic nature of the beast I suppose. I'll pull through as I always do I presume. But there's something distinctly out of place.

" The Stuff of Fairy Tales "
Current Mood: ecstatic
Current Music: Third Eye Blind - Semi-Charmed Life
March was beautiful.
The first bit of it was hell, with all the exams and practice for the vanier musical, planning a surprise party and managing/designing a website, classes and studying and general mayhem and busyness. But I made it though alright, despite sickness.
Then Christina's surprise party. She did not suspect a thing. She was extremely difficult to get out and keep out of the house though, but it all managed to work out well. She loved it =)
I got to relax all week after that, and then got to spend the entire weekend with Christy, which has really made my week.
Watched Ice Age II (which by the way was awesome), went for ice cream, slept over, made pancakes for breakfast and generally just enjoyed her company. It was the stuff of fairy tales. That girl has my heart and my mind, and I'm loving every minute of it. She really is something else.
Aside from that I've done some thinking about the "short" term future and how I can work things around to play in my financial favour. The next few years are looking pretty good, but I still think I could do better. We shall see. =)

" Reading Week '06 "
Current Mood: happily exhausted
Current Music: Great Big Sea - Sea of No Cares
Soo, this past week has been something of a whirlwind, and one heck of a good one at that.
To get the full effect you have to go back to last Thursday, the Great Big Sea concert that I've been looking forward to since September. It was AWEsome. Fifth row tickets made it that much better, that and having tons of people there (Sam, Geoff, Matt, Steve, Nicole annnd of course most importantly Christy). After the concert we figured we'd go out for a snack or something so we wouldn't have to go home right away, so we ended up going to White Spot (they can't have been happy with us, it was 10 minutes before they closed). BUT after when we were walking down the street Great Big Sea walked right past us! They were all wearing touques, and Sean had a pillow case with stuff in it slung over his shoulder. I was shocked!
Then Saturday rolled around. Christina had said that she wanted needed to go shopping for shoes for grad, because too many people have threatened to steal her shoes if she goes in runners with her pretty dress. But she absolutely haaates shopping, so the whole morning she was dragging her feet saying "I dun wanna go, I dun wanna!" in her cute baby voice. So we went for a walk in the park since it was pretty outside. Then we had to head off, but she was still dragging her feet, so she decided we should get ice cream first. Then changed her mind and said she wanted mud pie from Red Robins because it's just that good. Of course I thought nothing of it.
But then we got to the place and she said to the hostess that we were there for the Fitzpatrick reservations. Then I shot her a glance, but still wasn't thinking much other than she had obviously planned to come to Red Robins before that day. Sure enough though, we come around the corner and there's everybody! A whole wack of people there for a surprise party for me. The first thing that went through my mind was "holy cow!" followed by "hehehe I bet she doesn't have a clue about Valentine's day". I dropped an innocent little hint "oh we're so similar, you don't even realise it". So we had an excellent time having a Red Robin's lunch, and even Steve made it despite the fact he had a job interview before and had to leave for Nanaimo right after. Then the Red Robin's people brought out the cake that Christina had got her sis to sneak in to them, with a sparkler on in and made me stand on a chair. "I don't know what I've been told, but someone here is gettin' old!"
Annd that wasn't all. Then we ended up going to Lougheed and hanging out for a bit, killing some time until the mysterious next bit came into effect because apparently she hadn't planned on us eating so quickly. After watching alll the funnies on the screen at the food court a few times over, while chatting and people watching. The people at Lougheed are surprisingly uninteresting =P.
Then we were off tot the Skytrain station because 'the plans for the evening had fallen through', which I didn't believe for more than a second, because as soon as we got there the other Steve and Danielle popped out of the train with a big helium 'Happy Birthday' balloon.
Then we headed downtown, Danielle bugging the whole way "Oh oh, where are we going? Where are we gonna get off? No one knows!" Goof. We ended up down at the Starbucks near Denman and Davie, and then we headed out to the beach on English bay and sat on a log and admired the scenery and the stars. 'Twas brilliant.
After alll that we headed back to Christy's to hang out for a while before the long dreaded goodbye. Don't ask me why, but it's always so difficult to say goodbye to her.
Anyways, 'twas a sweet day; definitely was one of those memories that you wouldn't trade for anything in the world.
Then I had a couple days to rest and tie up some loose ends for my plans for Valentines day. I had said I'd pick her up from her house at 3, 'cause she was to get off school at 2:10. But no! I got up early and got to her school in time to put a note and some hershey's kisses on her locker before she got there. The note was from her 'secret admirer'. Then she got a bunch of flowers and another note in place of the Carnation that came with the Valentine's grams her school was doing. She got another with a cookie on her locker before lunch and another after with more flowers. Then I waited outside her last class' classroom for her to get out so I could surprise her with a stuffed kitty I got her. The expression on her face was absolutely priceless. Then, after dropping her stuff off at home, we wandered around 'aimlessly' for a while, and she got mad at me because we were going in circles and zig-zagging (I got a bit lost ...)
But then we finally came upon the place where I had stashed my guitar, so we sat down on a bench, (because she really wanted a bench at that point =P ), and I dashed off and came back and played her a couple of songs, then we went for dinner at White Spot while watching the olympic figure skaters. All in all it went off without a hitch.
Wednesday I hung out with Dave for the first time in a loong time. Definitely fun, we played our typical games, playstation, scrabble, chess. Definitely good times.
Thursday was choir, and then Friday hung out with Christy again. She wanted to meet up with one of her old friends at the mall and wanted me to come with, but the guy never showed. So we just relaxed and let the time flow quickly by, both Friday and Saturday. It always seems to be a good time with her around for some reason. Go figure =P
So yes, one heck of a week.
And now I am off to catch some sleep before I have to go back to school haha.
Good Night World!

" Out of Character "
Current Mood: Numb
Current Music: The Used - Blue and Yellow
I don't know why I blog. I've always found the whole idea slightly, if not completely absurd. Yet I do it anyway, like a drone exploring my own thoughts for any passers-by who happen to chance upon this corner of the web. And I have to say it can't be that interesting; rarely updated, rarely anything specific, and mostly consisting of the incoherent ramblings of a mad-man doesn't make for entertaining reading material. For those of you who read this (if indeed anybody reads this at all), you must have some sort of insatiable curiosity, endless time on their hands, or some kind of will to get inside my frame of mind.
For the latter: I'm overcome with a sense of uneasiness. I can neither justify it, nor explain why. The only thing I know is that something is awry in my world. What that happens to be, I shall likely find out soon. Not often do I have such a feeling, and from experience it's always indicative of something.
I had forgotten how unappealing my place is on Saturday evenings... all I want to do is go to sleep and not wake up for a long time, but alas it is far too noisy.
Whatever, I don't care.
Good night.

" 2005 in Review "
Current Mood: creative
Current Music: Peter Cincotti - I Love Paris
I refuse to do a New Year's Quiz =P I'm gonna do it *my* way.
2005 Abstract Chronology for Ardent:
- This year began with endings of all sorts, how terribly appropriate
- A couple of the strangest duets amidst an International ending
- Unprecidented freedom
- Self-discovery, re-invention
- Half a dozen Beginnings of all sorts
- An everlastingly quick tango
- Revelations of character
- Revelations about the world
- Revelations about interdependance
- Tangible construction for the future
- Countless reflections and recursive improvements
2005 Births:
No true births here, but an overall sense of completeness and direction have been acheived, independent of the fact that no direction has actually been determined.
2005 Deaths:
Grandmother Mary Myrfield (Maiden Rutherford)
She will be missed, and the snow brought forth at her funeral symbolises the honourable, steadfast values she held with regards to family.
Episodes of living in the past: The past is important, but must be revered as precisely that, the past. Rest in peace my living in the past.
Firsts in 2005:
- Graduation
- Freedom
- Working for decent money
- University
- Death of a loved one
- Bubble Tea
- First purchase of expensive high-end electronics
- Opening of a portfolio
- Voting
- Being in a bar/club
- Formally debating in a tournament
- Working all night (for school and for Graveyard shift)
- Instantly disliking someone upon meeting them
- Flash-judging people out of necessity
Some of the 2005 Resolutions Ardent kept:
- Meet at least 1 new person every month. Get to know them a bit, find and isolate a character trait about them that you like, and one that you dislike. Analyse your own personality to find out how those character traits you isolated relate to your own character. Try to incorporate or strengthen the character trait that you like in the other person, and diminish or eliminate the trait you disliked. EDIT: By which I meant changing myself, not the other person
- Reduce effective stress level in one way or another, either by worrying or procrastinating less, preferably both
- Make level-headed descisions and avoid doing somthing negative that is completely irrational and cannot be justified, even in hindsight
- Do something positive that is completely irrational and cannot be justified, even in hindsight
- Rationalize and argue your way out of a tight spot
Some of the 2005 Resolutions Ardent let slip away:
- Complete at least 2 units of 30 minute cardio-vascular intensive activity a week
- Sleep a minimum of 6 hours for every 24
- Maintain a minimum balance of $ in savings
- Come up with a unique method of making money
- Spend at least 2 hours less per week on the computer

Getting the boot from the stage - July 3rd
Celebration of Light - July 27th
VanDusen Gardens Festival of Lights - December 16
Honorable Mention: August 21st. Although it wasn't particuliarly memorable (Heck, I can't even remember what we ended up doing that day?), definitely a date of some importance =)
A song uniquely for 2005:
Peter Cincotti - St. Louis Blues
Lyrics Uniquely for 2005:
I hate to see the evening sun go down
Feelin' tomorrow just like I feel today
I'll pack my trunk, make my getaway

BERLIN (Reuters) - German police Thursday captured two men suspected of stealing from 15 cars and two garden sheds by following their footprints in the snow for several miles.
Policemen were checking up on a car whose alarm had been set off just after midnight in the town of Hoentrop when they found a smashed window and two sets of footprints which they followed more than ten streets.
"At one point the tracks disappeared because someone had cleared the pavement outside their home in the middle of the night," police said in a statement.
After this minor setback, the officers picked up the trail again. The two sets of footprints led them directly to the entrance of a flat where the burglars not only stored their booty but also left their shoes and gloves to dry.

Current Music: The Nylons - For the Longest Time
Alors, essentially I have come to the point where all my stress has disappeared for a while. A.K.A. Exams are OVER.
This term's Exam Period Highlights
- Last day of classes: 6am Rum 'n Eggnog followed by Spreading Christmas cheer! ...By carolling through in-session classes. My ankle still hurts from that... why would anyone put stairs there? It was obviously an arts major that designed that. =P
- Christmas concert on a Sunday, taking away from normal Sunday activities. Darn. Oh and the over-dramatism of a guilt-ridden angsty teen trying to blame others for her mistakes. You know who I'm talking about Sam =P. (No, not you).
- Mom's birthday at Milestones. Mmm, Good food.
- Surprise! Look who showed up on the bus this morning!
- Look who keeps coming back to school after he's graduated.
- 29 hours of studying for a physics exam. Bluddy.
- More Sunday concerts getting in the way of normal Sunday activities... Surprise! Wow I got excited over that one haha =D
- Fastest Christmas tree picking outing ever.
- Significantly less time spent studying for a programming exam. A.K.A. 15 minutes. Easy peasy.
- A heart-warming concert for the old people at Mayfair Manor.
- A magical evening of dancing lights, Jolly Old St. Irish Nicholas reading the story wrong (and making fun of Christy hehe), our own personal dance floor, comforting Christmassy music, and the freezing cold (well compensated for of course).
- Review for a Math exam. That was fun!
- 38 hours of studying for a Chem exam.
- Nightmares of failing said Chem exam.
- Worried cramming and memorising for Chem exam.
- Our Chem exam easier than previous years': Priceless. Shouts of happiness could be heard from every engineer the moment it ended.
- Catharsis at the Cheeze: Yeehaw!
Needless to say my favorite part of this little endeavor was what wasn't related to exams at all. I suggest the VanDusen Festival of Lights to anyone who likes seeing Christmas lights and generally being part of Christmas. Seeing it all, taking it all in. I think it would have been worth ten times what I paid =).
Well I'm going to go see what productive things I can do today.
I hope everybody has a fantastic Christmas Season! (Or Holiday Season for those of you who insist on political correctness)

If you get an email from acrushonyou.com, ignore it and don't be like I was, all mercenary in your curiosity to find out who it was =P.
When it wasn't who I thought it would be, I went on to check every female on my list only to come up null and void. The problem lies in what the bloody site does. It sends a 'someone's got a crush on you' email to *everyone* you guessed. So stupid.
Anyway... yeah... on to a happier note
I was surprised with an excellent Christmas present on Sunday, which I was quite happy to have. Sam apparently invited and brought Christy to watch our concert. It was great, 'cause I haven't seen her for any length of time for quite a while now. I suppose that's what exams and Christmastime brings upon people eh? Haha.
Other than that things have been quite uneventful. Lots of studying and stressing over physics, less over programming, and next up is Math and Chemistry. Not looking forward to those.... ugh. I did, however, get my script for the musical today. It's big and thick, with a heavy black cover and tons and tons of pages. =D Yay!

I've also come to the conclusion that society is an angsty teenager with destructive habits like drugs and smoking. Not the individual people in society mind you, just society in general (which people are a *part* of). Think about all the problems it has and all the complaining it does, not to mention the pollution, war, and nuclear destruction.
Oh, and coporations own your soul, there's nothing you can do.
Deal with it.

Don't let the bedbugs bite..
Fri Dec 2, 2005 11:06 AM ET
By Jonathan Stempel
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Hotels offer many amenities, but being eaten by bedbugs should not be one of them, say two Swiss women suing a prominent Manhattan hotel.
The women, in a lawsuit filed on Wednesday, want the Hotel Pennsylvania and its owners to pay unspecified damages due to physical pain, mental anguish, emotional distress and lost earnings.
They say they were repeatedly bitten by the insects while spending a week in the hotel, one of the city's largest and located across from Madison Square Garden.
"The marks started off smaller, and they got bigger," said their attorney Adam Sattler. "The reaction on one was horrible -- very deep, maroon-to-red marks, like a lesion eating from the outside in."
Bedbugs are wingless, reddish-brown insects, about one-quarter of an inch (6 mm) long when fully grown. They eat human blood and commonly hide in narrow cracks and crevices, beds, mattresses and furniture.
A representative for the hotel did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
According to the lawsuit filed in state Supreme Court, Ksenija Knezevic of Zurich and Marlies Barisic of Kreuzlingen became "sick, sore, lame and disabled" from the bites.
The attorney said the women were treated at a local hospital, which the hotel paid for, but needed further treatment after returning home. He also said they did not realize the gravity of the problem until late in their stay.
"The initial reaction from the hotel checkout clerk, before our clients said anything, was, 'You don't have to speak. Bedbugs,'" Sattler said. "It tells us the hotel was on notice of this."

I haven't even read everything I've bought

My eyes aren't dry but they're bloodshot
I have faith in medication
I believe in the prozac nation
You play doctor but I've lost patience
This is where it ends, this is where it ends
Call the police and call the press
But please dear God don't tell my friends
This is where it ends, this is where it ends
And hour-long goodbyes should not contain beavers.

Current Music: Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You
"... Which leads me to the exciting news: we would like to offer you a role in the chorus/the role of Henry Spofford." (The wealthy Philidelphia Benefactor)
And Steve got the part of Josephus Cage (the zipper manufacturer).
So that settles that.
Also I became a part of the Aurora Project. Yes, that's right, I will be building a re-useable rocket.
And the Astronomy club has peaked my interest. Not that I didn't find it interesting before, quite the contrary. It's just even more so now.
It's interesting how sometimes the most random things that I do can lead to the weirdest niches in my life. Let me illustrate.
Example number 1:
My mom heard about Coastal Sound Music Academy (then known as Coquitlam District Choral Society) through a friend of a friend. After a quick audition, the next 8 years of my life were spent with that organisation, facilitating tons of friends and connections, that I wouldn't otherwise have had.
Example number 2:
I heard about IB from the parent of a friend of a friend, asked the principal about it at middle school, and low and behold I was set on a four year rollercoster ride of intellectual and social development in a new and dynamic school setting. I would *not* be me if it weren't for that.
Example number 3:
I was enticed to join the Port Moody Secondary choir by Marco, someone I didn't know very well, by him simply mentioning that it existed. Following that, the music department became a huge part of my PMSS experience, changing my outcome a great deal.
Example number 4:
Devina invited me to her birthday party the year before last. I was skeptical because I didn't know her very well at all, and probably wasn't going to know many people at the party. A year and a bit later look where going to that party has put me =)
So Christy is sick right now... I hope she gets better soon. It almost makes me feel guilty to be out doing so much while she's at home sick. There go my nurturing instincts eh?
Well I've got to go, choir awaits.

It *is* a train-yard, and a bridge that goes nowhere... and *doesn't* have a sidewalk on the other side!
But that's all ok, it doesn't matter if I'm right or wrong, it's just fun to play the part.
Because life indeed is all about the journey, as corny as that *is*.
Some say the best advice is "to begin with an end in mind" or to "never lose sight of the destination". I think it's perfectly acceptable, if not more desirable, to start without a clue as to where you're going and follow where opportunity takes you, as long as you keep your wits about you and still put *some* forthought into the bigger descisions.
(8)Well, it’s a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
’neath the cover of october skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I’m trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the night’s magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love
One more moondance with you in the moonlight
On a magic night
La, la, la, la in the moonlight
On a magic night
Can’t I just have one more moondance with you my love
I think Van Morrison got it right.

Curren Mood: content
Current Music: Train - Meet Virginia
So life is swell.
The audition for the musical went most excellently. Wasn't my best performance ever, but hey, it was fun.
And I bought milk today, which means I can have cereal tomorrow. Yay! =D
I can't wait until next weekend.
[Insert 5th disjointed, fairly random thought here].
Out like a light!
