I have a cat,

I have a cat, her name is Noel. I have a new kitten... she hasn't told me her name yet.
I am happy right now. I have spend the day on the couch in my pajamas. This is acceptable because my foot is fractured and moving is raver annoying. I have also moved more than I would have liked this week so ya staying on the couch with the kitties.
I have had noel for almost 6 years. She has traveled on the train, car, ttc , and air plane. I am happy because she is happy. We got a kitten because I thought she was lonely. The first few days looked not to good but all is good now. They play cat together. Noel is teaching little kitty to fight. And its funny to watch little kitty watch noel... ("oh its bath time, ok" *stars cleaning herself too*).
Today we are three cats on a couch... though one doing physics...

I want to remember this moment forever. I love noel, and welcome to the family little kitty...

I finished Highschool... Again!

So my two year adventure in taking highschool courses online is done. After 7 classes and two years and way to many exams I am DONE! I don't know if I did better or worse than I would have taking them in real highschool... but If I had taken them I wouldn't remember it for starting school now anyways... School starts kinda on the 29th with a English test (like the grade 10 one) and then a week of random events and playing with people as Frosh (there will be a point where I sit in a bath tub full of purple die...). I also start Fresh Meat training for Derby! So everything that is exciting starts in 25 days... till then I have two raven events... two derby tournaments and not a lot else to do...
That not a lot else will probably turn into Eq2 and sewing... though I want to work out the plan for my Nano Novel now... i'm thinking a epistolary novel. I was contemplating that or a journal kind last year. But I think its a little harder than just writing, but I don't think that's a bad thing. I can do NaNo. I know this now. Since it's never going to be my intention to sell the thing lets try something worth trying. Book one was nonsense space thing... this year... epistolary... there's so many ways to take it... lovers... family... maybe a kid writing to her grandma... best friends... threw time lol... step one idea... step two... read some epistolary books and learn about the stile. 25 days of nothing to do? Na, lets do something real with this time!
Ok now to go write about some books I have read because its been way too long since I did that!
So...Well...Ya...

New House, old town... life back to normal again

So I am back in TO, We have our new place and things are prity much back to normal. Playing eq2 a lot :D... I love that game... but usually only for three months or so... then I need a break.
I need to get on the finding a job thing... I hate looking for a job... probably because I have been looking for a job for two years now its kinda gotten to be a pain...
I had another Idea too, I think I am going to start putting the book reviews in another Blog... one thats dedicated for that kind of thing... might possibly make it into a real blog vs. this little diary thing. I just finished Old man in the Sea so I should have one on that book soon and I got a review book from Library thing so thats kinda neat too... though so far I think its kinda Meh...
Life is a lot of EQ2, Unpacking/ cleaning, School and Looking for a job... probably not enough of the last too but ya...
So from now on the book reviews can be found at Continually Reading. It surprisingly took me a lot less time to come up with that name than Day Dream Creations... and it really sounds right. I guess I will have to find something more new to put into here to make it look like this blog is active in any way... hmm...

So...Well...Ya

Busy a little much?

     So applying for university is expensive. Don't know if you've been thinking of doing that lately but shit... I don't even know if they will let me go to there school yet and its expensive... 175 for this 70 for that... 80 for this other school... you need transcripts? oh that will be $10... You want to do engineering? Oh you need to pay another fee... what the hell is going on here? Who did I pay the other money too??? /sigh... then there are about a billion forms and things to send them... hey wouldn't it be a good idea if the government made one place where you filled out all the information and then it was just sent to the schools? Oh wait I payed $175 for that... but then for some reason the schools want me to do it all again? Oh this one has an essay now? thats such a big difference they couldn't have just asked for that it the other one could they....
     Oh we got a house... if you noticed the date it is February 3ed and I have yet to mention moving at all... the place we found before feb decided to take a week with out application and then tell us no at 4:00 pm on Friday. Were pretty sure the lady found it amusing to mess with us (gurrr..). But I managed to find a place, convince Stefan to see it on Friday. Get the papers and all that jazz done... and we get it tomorrow. /sigh.... (sigh of relief this time). Movers can't move us till Saturday...  so the new big adventure is to go back to Kingston at 1:30 today, then drive some things down tomorrow in the van (being here for 9:00 am). Then move everything from the storage unit at 3:00 on Saturday then drive back to Kingston and work there for two weeks while moms on vacation... (anyone wondering why I haven't been on blogger much lately.)
     Since I am obviously in the mood to complain (:D), I still have one last physics project to finish... and a calculus exam... and three chemistry projects... oh and remember NaNaWriMo... I would like to look at that again at some point...  writing 50 000 words was one thing... making it into something realistic is another one all together.

So...well...ya...

Cruse excitement

Newport Hotel, Miami
7:34
     So this is going to be a little out of order because I have two entry's that are written on paper that need to be typed but that is uninteresting at this moment. I am excited and fidgety and have been 1/2 awake since 4:30...  I find there are different parts to being Maxine. When I feel good about myself I exist more as myself then when I am all gloomy and depressed. When I am being productive, working on school, sewing, painting, writing... creating SOMETHING... the more of these kinds of things I do the more lime myself I am.
     Traveling also brings me out. There is so much more to the world that my house, my job, and the grocery store... When I first got to Nanaimo I tried to go out every day... as time went on and life there normalized that got harder to do (especially once finding a job started to feel more and more hopeless...).
     Out there on the Webernet there is the blog of a 16 year old high school student and her excitement about going to France (If you are interested its http://angel9magic.diaryland.com/ and I apologizes greatly for the atrocious color choices... I could change it... but I kinda feel that it is preserved history in this state... ). Before  my exchange started I counted down the number of days starting at over 150... That there is EXTREME excitement.
     So here I am the end of the Pre-vacation, ready to pack up this room and go to the pier catch a boat and explore the world... I just wish that the Cruse last's half as long as 4:30 to 7:30 did this morning and all will be GREAT... (Maxine's Theory of Time: The more you are enjoying yourself the less time you get to spend doing it.)
     There will be more entry's on this trip (there is already two they were just written before I have a computer... I got a Net book by the way!! :D It is Red and beautiful!!) they wont be posted till after the 15th though since internet is expensive on a boat in the middle of the ocean.

Have a good week Interweb... I will miss you... :D

OMG Christmas...

Yo!
     So I came home, and did some work for mom. Stefan came home a week later, had a Christmas party... from then on time just disappeared. We picked up Nick on the 20th, and visited with Jane a bit... there was a bunch of shopping that happened at some point in time Christmas day was a lot of fun ( I got a net book which I really wasn't expecting... the only problem is that the screen didn't work and we have yet to find a replacement...)
     I got unit 4 of physics sent to the school, as well as an extension so I have a bit more time to send in the last unit. Which is sooo much help! Been working on both Physics and Chem lately depending on if I have a computer around or not.
     We took mom to Montreal yesterday, That was a lot of fun. And Stefan took me to see cirque du soleil as my Christmas present. The show was called Quidam... not really sure what it was about... the websight says "A nameless passer-by, alone in a crowd, in a society that has become too impersonal" but I didn't get that at all... I saw a lot of death... Stefan suggested that it was talking about euthanasia... which I agree does kinda fit with the way I understood things... The thing that is ok is that it doesn't really matter what I took from the show... no mater what I took something : ). We had a nice time.
     Mom's taking nick to Toronto, his plane leaves early tomorrow so hes staying at Auntie Corinne's. I am old people sitting... there is five days till we go on vacation. Isn't that neat?
     I guess I should do some chem now...
So... well... ya...

A birthday, A painting, an Exam and 36 333 words

So been busy lately... not in the sense that I have been doing a lot... more just non stop math and other school things.
We went to Vancouver again last Monday for Stefan's birthday. It was a really good day. We mostly just went to the aquarium hung out... then missed the ferry... so I kinda read the schedule wrong... and it's the kind of thing where that's it... theres an end to when it runs and you have no choices left...

I painted him a picture of Noel I like it a lot.

It's our Kitty : D

Other than that I re-did the Functions Exam this morning...  went SOOOO much better... I am still getting worried about my marks. It look's like about 85 is what I need for the engineering programs... but really it's not the end of the world. I can just do things again. The only real way to get better at math is to do more of it. And I am cool with doing more of it... I just need to go to school next year.

Calculus is finished too, I have to do an exam for it but I think that will happen after christmas. So now it's non stop Physics till christmas. I have to get the chemistry stuff sent to me so I can do that as soon as physics is done... THEN I can apply for University... Since all the credits just need to be started. /sigh... lol I can't be feeling overwellmed yet... this isn't even the REAL work.

Lastly NaNo... I'm still going... I am a little behind on yesterday's word count... I think I need 2000 today to be at today's amount. It's all going really fine... There will be a bit of a scramble on Tuesday next week uploading it to the sight since me and Stefan are going on one last little trip. We don't see us coming to this part of Canada again anytime soon and I REALLY liked Victoria... so we are heading back there for a little two day trip. It's suck a pretty little town. I guess that means I should finish my novel by saterday doesn't it...13667 in 5 days...  thats 2734 each day + a physics project I want in the mail by the 2ed... :D

So just don't complain I never write to you thats all... :D
(P.S we are planing our Florida vacation... :D We get off a cruse ship on my BIRTHDAY :D sadly we arn't on the ship but its still fun will tell you more ASAP Promise!!)
So...well...ya...

10 036 words and one less tooth.

     So after not quite a week of NaNo I hit the 10 000 mark... :D yay! This is even with the major interruption that was a wisdom tooth extraction. I don't do dentists well, so this went amazing... it's kinda hard to explain but I felt like I walked away... separated myself from the things I didn't want to have anything to do with and just let it happen. There was a small freak out to start with but all it all it wasn't as bad as I have been before.
     Saturday I felt like crap... Friday after the surgery was ok, I guess drugs will do that right... but I havn't really been up to anything today. I managed to get 500 and some words done just now... will try for another 334... I say two half day word counts are aloud when you go have surgery... :D all in all I am still up to date... I just have a math Unit I want to hand in by the end of Monday... this may not be as possible as staying on word count is... anyways I'm going to go finish those words off.
(oh ya I think the story stopped making sense three days ago... but then again that was when all the dentist stuff started so maybe I will be able to bring it back on track? Maybe?)
