Title...title...well, here is another post!

Jeez Louise, I can never think of what to call these things. I mean, what is there to say? All I do is ramble, with no planned topic or direction.
Actually, that is something I really need to work on. None of my essays have a "clear thesis". I mean, what is that? I've spent years trying to figure it out!
Perhaps sometime that is what my philosophy paper should be about. What makes a thesis distinct. Well, I think that would only be useful for people who haven't actually studied philosophy academically, which is probably a lot of philosophers actually, and since I don't know maybe I'm not the person for the job :P
Anyways, I'm really proving my lack of direction point without meaning to. Why on earth am I talking about theses? That has got be the most boring topic ever!!
Hmm. Well, today I spent almost 4 hours cleaning my room. Not even the distracted type of cleaning- I was actively cleaning the whole time! Actually, that should give you an idea of just how unbelievably messy, and literally dirty, our room was before this. I removed 3 bags of recycling, 2 bags of garbage, swept up about a pound of dirt from the floor and under my bed...did laundry, washed dishes, and rearranged my furniture. I feel great!
The sad part is that it still isn't actually "clean" haha. Just not a disaster, and that is plenty in my opinion. Actually it was kinda enjoyable...I blasted music and zoned out, and Gwen's gone for today so I had the place to myself. I am feeling very anti-social today, and I feel really good that I didn't spend my whole day being useless like I have on so many Saturdays :P
So far, this semester has been a lot different than last one. I am being much more academically inclined, I've only drank 3 times and never in excess, I've been healthier, and I have had absolutely no play in the boys department.
Yet, somehow, it does not feel like high school :P
Heh heh heh.
Also, I've lost some of the weight I gained last semester...I think drinking less has a lot to do with it. Thank God, I really don't think my self esteem would have survived that much longer haha. I dunno, I think I've just been a lot more introverted this semester. In a good way.
I've been doing yoga more often too, which is awesome! Hallelujah! And tomorrow, I am going to a 3 hour meditation thing with one of the upper years. Actually, it's kinda random how that happened...we had like, one conversation in frosh week and have just seen each other occassionally since then and said hi, but never talked....you know, one of those people.
He is the leader of a society at Kings, and they were going to the meditation place on Wed, and I got an email for it (tho I have never done any of the other society things) and I saw him one day, and asked if I could join. He said yah, and told me where to meet etc...and my friend and I went to go, but actually we got the time wrong and they left without us...oops :S
Then, to embarrass myself further, I was like, oh I think I know where it is! Because it was called the Shambalah meditation centre, so I thought it was Hindi, and I thought I had seen some Hindi writing on a building down the street....we walked there and my friend burst out laughing. Turns out I had taken us to a Jewish synogague and it was Hebrew! Hahaha, good lord what a disaster.
THEN, that night some friends and I were coming in from smoking a joint, and who should walk by, but Wesley...typical! He was like, where were you earlier? And I was like, trying to explain, but I was so high... at King's being high isn't anything to bat an eye at so it didn't matter, but then I walked away and realized I had agreed to do meditation with him on Sunday, but hadn't remembered any details of our plan, if there were any. Oops...
Then yesterday, I had just gotten out of tutorial, and was walking past the Wardroom, which is our campus bar, and a coffee shop during the day, and Wesley was outside it (I have never seen him so often before) and was like, hey, do you want to get coffee? I was like uhh.... (I have such a way with words...NAWT! :P) And he was like, yes you do, come on. And so we walked in and he bought me coffee, and we sat down and had this really philosophical conversation, about like, what is reality etc. Actually, I was lost for parts of it I won't pretend I have developed quite that capacity to understand things yet....We talked about other things too...it was a good conversation, anyways. And now we are going to meditation on Sunday morning.
I have thought about it tho, and I am not interested in sexual relations with Wesley. For one thing, it would be too typical. I have heard him referred to as Wes-TD (Think: STD), and that is just not attractive. Also, I have few male friends at King's and I really miss having platonic males in my life. So yah, hopefully this is the beginning of a good friendship. Also, I'm really looking forward to the meditation, its good to feel centered.
Anyways, I have rambled long enough!
And I hope that story was interesting...it was just so random haha.
I hope to see a new post from you soon! (Hint hint... :D)
Love Edna

  1. Ahaha, that's funny! We were actually writing a post in the same time! Tho mine took 3 days to finish.... bleh :P. I couldn't think of a good way to end it, so I had to wait until last night! And about your post, it wasn't boring at all, they're always funny, in their own way, like I can't. And you're right about those thesis, it's something. Like you can easily choose a subject, sometimes they're even chosen for you, but when it's time to take a side... ugh :P. And about that meditation session, I hope it went well, finally ;). Meaning it workout on the second try at least eheheh. It's good to hear you take some good resolutions, or at least you turn out your lifestyle a bit and feel better about it :). I am too in a process to be healthier, I actually decide to walk at least 30 minutes each day, and since last week, I only skipped one dy, I can be proud of myself! ahaha! And I can't wait for my gym course, since I didn't had one last semester! nyway, I gotta go now, I planned on making creme brulee for my family tonight, and I need some time and preparation to achieve this mission I gave myself, loll.
    Hope to talk to you soon!
