life? [Feb. 27th, 2008|02:48 pm]
Well its certainly been a while! I just realized that the only time I log onto this site is when I am upto my ears in school work. Yep, what a great procrastination tool. Right now, for example, I am supposed to be working my paper for B7000 and studying for Forensic Psych. My group paper is due on Monday and we are no where near finished. I have a midterm in Psych tomorrow. I also have a midterm in accounting next Wednesday night. Wow - too much work to do indeed. It would be fine if I didn't have any other obligations but alas, I do. It will work out though - I have faith! 

The semester has certainly flown by. I have no idea where it has gone!? Its wild. It feels like it just started. My sister and her kids were down for a month though so I was almost 3 weeks in before I even touched a book at all. I am still trying to catch up! haha Things are good though. They could always be better (especially financially) but I have learned to deal with the bullshit. I am not getting down over minor things anymore. I'm loving life and taking nothing for granted! I have heard of waaaayy too many young people dying these days and it is making me realize that you really never know what is going to happen. As death is my biggest fear and it trips me out in every way, shape, and form .. I try to not think about it too much. I'm trying to live life to the fullest! I'm very rarely ever in a bad mood anymore and I love it! :)  

Things on the bowling front are pretty good. The open is in 2 weeks and I am certainly looking forward to it. We only had enough people for a mixed team this year but its a nice little team so I am keeping my fingers crossed in hopes that we do well! I also made the classified team and that is a very good team as well. Provincials for that are not until early April though. But nationals are in T-dot!!!! Keeping my fingers crossed tightly indeed!!!! :D

Well its been a nice while since I updated. Whats new? Not a whole lot. Same shit ... different day ... no better than the last! lol
I just finished getting over a brual flu (at least I hope I am over it). I took my last antibiotic today. I was soooo sick on Tuesday and Wednesday ... didn't get out of bed at all barely. I even called in sick to work for the first time in 3 1/2 years ... felt bad too. But there was no way I could make it in....it wasn't fit. Really sucks though ... the 2 days that I am severely sick are the only 2 days that I was supposed to work. I love my timing. I am so broke. I am not happy about this at all. Oh my.

So other than work I have pretty much been doing nothing. And that only takes up on average about 15 hours of my week ... if I am lucky. So I have alot of time on my hands and no money to do anything with that time. Last Friday Breen and I ventured to the Dock to check out the 8-Tracks but for whatever reason it was a pretty shitty night. I think downtown is just worn out for me now. I am certainly in no rush to go down anytime soon thats for sure. I can't even have a good drunk anymore. Maybe its the little guy in the back of my head telling me to smarten up and stop killing my body ... perhaps thats it. Whatever it is, my body doesn't take well to drinking anymore ... I know that much!

My niece Addison turned 1 on the 24th and I cannot believe it. Time flies much too fast! Shes so adorable too ... I don't want her to grow up. I am actually amazed that she isn't walking yet. By the rate she was going I was expecting her to be walking before her 1st birthday. I am sure it will be any day now though. God love her.

Leb's baby shower was last Sunday. What a load of presents she got!! There were around 100 people there I'd say so you can imagine the pile of stuff. She is due in less than a month now which is pretty wild. Although I seen her almost day from January to April it still has not sunk in. Its an amazing thing. Actually, Heather's shower is tomorrow and she was expecting me to be there but I just found out that I am scheduled to work tomorrow and don't think is really anybody to switch with because Jen is working tomorrow night and I am pretty sure she has a softball tournament all weekend so I would imagine she will be playing sometime tomorrow afternoon. Oh well, thats all I can do. Perhaps I can drop down and see Heather tomorrow night or something.

Anyway, I guess I better get going so I can continue to do nothing. Yay - my life is way too much fun these days! lol

[music |Crossroads - Ennis Sisters]

Got my first exam over with and it feels awesome. It wasn't such a great exam but its done. Nore more economics!!! YAY!!!!! My prof was awesome though so it wasn't as bad as it could have been, thats for sure. She wanted people to write poems about economics on the exam. I wasn't going to but I did last minute and I am so embarrassed! lol Frig, why did I do that?????? haha
So, I have Human Resource Mgmt on Saturday and Finance on Monday....and then I'm DONE!!!!!! (For the semester)

Ok, I must go study some Human Resources ... its so not an easy thing to do ..... BUT only 5 days and its over until SEPT! 
Maybe then I can get this god damn insulin pump/infusion set problem figured out. Trying not to think about that too much until I get through exams.....its been so frustrating.

No committments [Mar. 22nd, 2007|05:58 pm]
[mood | drained]
[music |Someway Somehow - Shaye]

Finally, a day with no committments. A day where I can do absolutely sweet eff all and not feel guilty in any way shape or form. Well almost. I could definitely do some studying - but I don't have any exams or assignments in the very near future. Also - you cannot see my floor in my room. But whatever, I'll get around to that....sometime before next year I hope. lol Anyways, I slept in until 3PM and while it was awesome I now feel quite lazy. Sleeping in tends to do that to me. But, the sleep was much needed!

The Open went well. There were a few negative things during the week but overall I had fun. First of all, I bowled the worst tournament of my life. I just wasn't feeling it. Wasn't into it at all. I am pretty sure the rest of my team felt the same way because nobody was really into it. However, the times when we did get into we bowled better. We won a whole 2 games out of 12! Wooo go us! We laughed it off quite easily though ... what else can you do? Hopefully next year will be a different story if all goes well. See how it works out I guess. My sugars were also screwy during the week. On Thursday I actually had to leave during one of the games because my sugar had gone upto 29.5! Craziness. I wasn't feeling the best let me tellya. I had to head back to the hotel to change my pump site. When I took it out the cannula was bent, therefore I wasn't recieving any insulin at all. So made a big old scene and had to leave. Well, not a big scene - I just hate any attention at all! The coach of the other team was asking me if I wanted something to eat. I told her that would only make it higher and when she said she didn't understand it I replied "yeah, not many people do." And the preceded to turn towards my team and bawl. hahahahha oh my. I am so fed up with this god damn disease. My sister tells me that god won't give you anything you can't handle. Am I handling it - I think not. Oh my. Anyways, after a crazy week I got quite intoxicated on the banquet on Saturday night. I had such a laugh! For one, I was dancing most of the night (after I had a good few) and I NEVER dance at bowling banquets. It was quite the laugh. I had a good drunk on the go ... one where I will talk to almost anybody. When the dance was over and the rest of us were leaving there was no one on coat check so I went behind the counter taking anyones tags and giving them their coats acting like a fool. Freakin' hilarious! Kind of thing where you had to be there I guess. Fun night, fun night, fun night. I am very glad afew of us decided to stay at the hotel thurs, fri, and saturday. It felt like were out of town in a way and it added to the fun. Took away from the funds but added to fun. Thats all that matters sure ... shag it. Money doesn't mean happiness. A new pancreas could possibly mean happiness ... but money my friend, is not everything.

Sure, I loves to ramble on and on and on and on and on and on........

Right now I am using the glucose transmitter that goes along with the new pump. To tell you the truth, I don't believe I am a fan. I thought it was going to be a great tool but I feel as though it is not accurate at all - at least it doesn't seem to be. I am going to call Gail about it tomorrow and see what she has to say. I have 3 sensors left so I can give it another try to see how it works out. I am not too keen on having 2 sites either. I feel like a god damn machine.....it actually sucks. SUCKS! SUCKS! SUCKS!

So, what else is new? I had a finance quiz yesterday in which I believe I got 100% on. Its worth 10% of my mark so it will certainly give my grade a bit of help. Thank goodness. Info Systems is pretty well over. The grading of the course is finished so what is the need to go to class really? I don't have a final in that course which means I only have 3 finals! Sweet .... come on April 16th!! I have never finished exams that early. Sweetness - lots of time to prepare for my bday .... 5 days in fact. 

Apparently Grey's Anatomy was awesome last week. Jen downloaded it for me last night and is going to drop it over to me later. Tonight is going to be a grey's night. I missed it last week and Jen says I HAVE to see it. I can't watch tonight until I see it. I am not even allowed to do a search to see what happened. If its Meredith I am goign to shit a brick. OH the suspense. Ok, I best go put my clothes in the dryer. Lata!

Quick update [Feb. 27th, 2007|02:41 pm]
[mood | stressed]

Wow - I think its time for an update. 

Halifax was great. I was certainly kept busy during the weekend of the ECMAs. Good times for sure! Both songwriter's Circles were fantastic but I enjoyed the first one more. It was great seeing Steven Bowers again. Jully Black was amazing as was Rose Cousins. They both brought me to tears. The awards show was also fantastic even though we were in the boons for it. It was still fun though! 

Barenaked Ladies concert was amazing. I spent $70 in merch though which isn't amazing considering I am now pretty much flat broke! ahhh! I initially spent $39. Then I had to pay an extra $11 for the 'Barenaked on a stick ...live" because they were selling them for $14 and it was supposed to be $25 - shitty, but what can ya do ... I wanted it at that point. I also bought the cheapest T-shirt they had which was 20 bucks ... somehow lost it while walking through the crowd. Jen bought me another one so now I owe her $20. Really sucks. There was some punk behind me saying that Stephen Page poked his head through a door down the hall and threw him a shirt .... riiiiiiight - that was totally my shirt. :( Grr! lol ... I'm over it though ... almost.

Ok .... MUST go study since I have an HR midterm tonight (which was supposed to be Saturday but it got postponed due to weather .. mixed feelings on this...lol) and a Finance midterm tomorrrow which I anticipate to be brutal as I know very little as of now and do not have near enough time to study it. Good luck Dawno! lol :)

One more thing .... 2 weeks until Provincials @ St. Pats!! :)

Hali = T - 10 days. [Feb. 6th, 2007|04:05 pm]
[music |Mary - Sarah Slean]

Woop woop ... I am going to Halifax in 10 days. While this is VERY exciting, it is also somewhat stressful. On the school side of things I mean. The work is piling up quite nicely. haha ... I'm sure it will all work out ... I'm just so sure of it! (I have to keep telling myself this) hahaha :)

So - we had the last open roll off yesterday morning. I bowled alright and moved upto 3rd place! I am happy about this because it means I am both on the ladies and I am also bowling singles. Should be fun. We had 2 people drop out though ... so it kind of sucks. We lost 2 GREAT bowlers, however the team is still good for sure and its going to be a laugh. Kind of shitty that Keri nor Lesley are bowling now though. Oh well. Things happen - life happens - that just doesn't allow you to do something. Does that make sense? lol Just put it this way ... Lesley has a very very good reason as to why she can't bowl. God lover'. Anyhow - I am looking forward to provincials. Forgetting the fact that I am already missing some school for Hali and it also means more time off work. This will also work out .. I am sure of it! lol :)

Hmmm .. so what else is new. Nothing really. I picked up a copy of Shaye's new album today. Kind of excited but its been a long wait so the excitement has subsided a bit....especially since I have been listening online ever since October and I also downloaded a few of the songs. Still nice to have the physical copy though! :) I also bought one of David Grey's albums and Chantal Kreviazuk's new one. I am going to her show in March so I figured I would pick up the CD so I could have a listen to the new stuff. I haven't listened to it yet though .. haha. Cleaning tunes for work tonight! :)

My cat is so cute. I love when she gets sooky - which isn't very often because she is somewhat anti-social. However, she is up in my face right now and I love it! 

Ok - I best be going to read some economics and possibly have a quick nap before work since I am beyond exhausted!

[music |You Were On My Mind - Serena Ryder]

I'm going to Halifax on Feb. 16th!! My flight is booked!!! Now I am just waiting for a payment to go through on my mastercard so I can get ECMA tickets! wooooo! I am going to both songwriters circles and the awards show. Not cheap but Steven Bowers in the first one so I wanna see that and the lovely Miss Sarah Slean is in the 2nd one. How can I miss either one of those ... I can't! My sister has arranged for an all day babysitter so its gonna work out I do believe!!! My sister's sister (we're a normal family) is going now too ... which is wonderful. Now I have someone to go out with if Paula can't get a babysitter! Woop woop! I am starting to get excited!! :) However, all this excitement is not good for the school work......I'm 3 weeks in and haven't touched a thing. This has got to change. NOW!

So last week I was in bed for 3 days with the stomach flu. I have NEVER been so sick. I even left work Tuesday night ... something I never do! I didn't want Jen to stay and close because she had to work in the morning ... I felt terrible! Shes great! But it was certainly a good thing I went home because I would have been in quite the state. I hope I never feel like that again!!!!! 

Things are looking up with bowling. My 3rd set for the open was abit better than the others. 1095. I moved up a little. I am now in 7th or 8th - 6 make the ladies team. There are 4 people that have to roll up though ... so we shall see where I stand after that. Its pretty much anybody's game though because other than 2 people, we are all so close. I have been bowling well the passed 2 weeks so hopefully I can keep it up and have a good set on Feb 4th! Two Monday's ago I bowled an 826 triple....started on 8 strikes in the 2nd game and plugged in the 9th. Kind of sucked...but what can ya do. I also won the jackpot that night - which isn't an easy task - and I can't believe I did ... but I did! Its deadly! This week I had 7 strikes in a row and plugged. You know there has just got be a plug thrown in there somewhere all of the time!!!!!! lol Anyways, I had 775 triple. Just hoping I can keep it up!!! :)

I still haven't started using my brand new panc either! I had an appt last Thursday but thats when I was sick so I couldn't make it. I am supposed to be getting an appt in the mail soon. Hopefully I can make it ... school work is starting to pile up quite fastly ... and midterms are soon.

Gotta go get ready for class......

[music |Weak in the Knees - Serena Ryder]

The first week of classes is finally over. It seems as though the week went pretty slowly ... but looking back it went half fast ... lol. I make so much sense sometimes.  I had my Comp Science final yesterday and to my surprise it went well. I think I may have actually done pretty good on it. I didn't put near enough effort into though ... but its all good if I did decent anyways. I think I screwed up the Visual Basic question but you get marks for each part so I'm thinking I got at least 7 marks out of 15. Other than that the rest was good. So glad to have it over with. The Fall Semester is officially over!!!!!!! :) 

I have to work on getting my books now. I have 2 so I need 2 more. I still have to Economics and Human Resource Mgmt. I also have to get a financial calculator for Finance - which is the equivalent of a book since it costs $50!!!!! I think that course is going to be brutal!!!!!

Cheers to the weekend. However, all my weekends usually consist of are work and bowling. I am working tomorrow morning and bowling @ 8AM Sunday morning...and yes, you have to mentally ill to bowl at 8 in the morning!!!!!!!! lol :)

I think I am going to be heading to Halifax next month for sure. I am starting to get excited! My sister won a shopping spree @ The Barrington Place shops so she is going to try to book me a flight through the travel agency there. That would be great!!!! :) I was @ Old Navy today and picked up a few things for the kids. I am starting to get excited! Woop woop ... get to see my sister and the kids and take in the ECMA's .... how wonderful!!! :)

Guess I better get back at the old laundry ... fun fun fun!!!!!


I enjoy this song (and the entirety of the CD)!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Panc!!!! [Jan. 11th, 2007|10:20 am]
Wooo - I have just received a brand spankin' new external pancreas! Its nice and blue and lovely. :) And it only cost $7000. Cheap isn't it? lol Insurance covers $5200 though which is great!! I can't start using it until next Thursday (boo!) because thats the earliest appt I could get with Gail. 

- hopefully this will be the start of many healthy years......


Now I must try to forget about that for now and get ready to write my Computer Science final. Should be a good laugh. I haven't touched it since the the end of November and I have barely studied for it this week. I have a couple of hours now though so I am going to try to get in whatever cramming I can. I have to miss Info Systems in order to that though. Which kind of sucks ... but hopefully I can get the notes from Annette!!! Praaaaaaaaaay that I pass this exam!!!!!!!!! I only need a 63% for a 70 in the course. I would be happy with that. Yes, yes I would! :)

[mood | tired]

So my Christmas turned out to be pretty good afterall. I had been dreading it. However, I did really miss my sister and her 2 kids, my nan (RIP), Erin, and Wendy. I am feigning to be able to reach out and give EL a great big hug. I miss her so. Especially now, during Christmas. I have gone over to her grandmothers every Christmas eve for I don't know how many years now. Good times. I was going to try to drop over Christmas eve but I had too much to do. I think I should have fit it in though because I would have loved to see them all. I am just shy, and even though I do know them fairly well, that is the big thing that stopped me from going - sad to say.

Christmas day mom cooked supper as per usual. Not as big a crowd as past years though. There were about 8 of though so it was alright. I got really sick that night though. I had a high temperature all night, freezing, aches & pains, and shaking like crazy. The next day I was pretty good ... just felt fluish - very weird.  So now I am fighting the flu. It hasn't been too bad for the past few days though - except I am feeling like crap today but I have been very busy so I am quite tired as well.

Boxing day I went upto dads for a while and then went to Breen's. She had a few people over and we went to O'Reilly's afterwards. It was a pretty good night for sure. The next night I went to Shanneyganock with EW. I haven't seen that girl in ages. Literally ages.....well probably 5 or 6 months. I didn't even think I was going to be going to Shanney until about an hour before the show. Everybody had been saying they were going and then all of a sudden no one was going ... I was disappointed. But then I was on MSN and EW msg'd me to ask if I wanted to go because her name was on the door. So I ended up going afterall! Couldn't afford it but I went! 
Thursday night was the GBS show. What - A - Great - Night! I haven't had that much fun in sooooooooo long! Breen and I both got WAY too intoxicated and spent way too much money but the fun. It was all worth it! haha :) I had such a laugh. Definitely the best night during Christmas. The show itself was friggin awesome. I love getting drunk for GBS but I also hate it. The next day we were discussing what songs they played and what not and we couldn't remember as much as we would have liked. Which sucks. You have a great time during it - but trying to remember isn't so easy. haha Vern was also quite drunk and seemed to have a great time! She had things to do the next day though she took off after the show and Breen and I stuck around Mickey Quinns for a bit and then headed dt. Goooooood times Breeny! Towards the end of the night my sugar shot down to 2.2. Not good at all. I had a regular pepsi and a regular 7-up. I hate being low. The most terrible feeling in the world. After I downed those we were walking around dt looking for some good food. We didn't want Subway and the Celtic Hearth was packed. We were very disappointed that Mustangs was closed ... again! :S Oh well. I got home and my sugar was still only 6. Which is a good sugar but I thought it would have been much higher after the pepsi and 7-up. So I had some toast and went to bed - without bolusing any insulin of course. In the morning it was 15. Too high - but better than going very low throughout the night. This diabetes is such a racket! My #1 New Years resolution - start taking care of my health better. I sincerely hope I can stick with it. I need to. 

So I am working new years eve. Kind of sucks but on the other hand I have no money and there isn't a whole lot on the go anyways. A friend is having a party so all hands are heading up there. And I am only working until 12 so I will just head up for a while after work. Its best kind sure. I may have a few drinks and I may not. Depends on how I feel I guess. 

One more thing - Mark Critch (Or shall I say Danny Williams?) is hilarious. Of course, me being a drunk moron, I just had to ask him what A&W stood for. He said "Amburgers and Wootbeer." My response ... "you're fuckin' right it does." BAHAHA. I am so embarrassed. What a loser. lol :S

  • People with diabetes are 2 to 4 times more likely to die of heart disease than those without. 4 out of 5 people with diabetes die from heart disease.
  • Over 60% of people with diabetes have high blood pressure, and almost 60% have high cholesterol. Both are risk factors for heart disease and stroke.
  • The longer a person has diabetes, the greater the chance of complications and death.
  • Diabetes puts you 15 years closer to a heart attack, stroke or death from any cause.  :(
    A 40-year old with diabetes has the same level of risk as a 55-year old without diabetes. Risk increases from moderate to high at around 41 for men and 48 for women.

    [music |Safe In the Arms of Love - Michelle Wright]

    I am a born again Michelle Wright fan. I was obsessed with her when I was a child. I went to see her play at the Glacier with my mother in .... 1994? It was around then anyways. Of course, I wanted to meet her after the concert but for whatever reason I couldn't. (Wow - I was a groupie when I was a kid. Its been in me for years.....hilarious) So I wrote her a letter telling her how disappointed I was that I couldn't meet her or something along the lines of that. And she (the fanclub) sent me an autographed picture. I was super excited about that. hahaha I joined the fan club too. I had a Michelle Wright bandanna pinned on my wall for years - you got a bandanna when you signed up for the fan club. Hilarious. Anyways - hearing her old songs Wednesday night brought me right back. lol I used to listen to her music all of the time with mom. And I am almost positive we have a couple of her cd's around here somewhere and I can't find them .... and I wanna listen to them! God damn! lol Shes looks WAY different now than how I knew her years ago. Long blond hair. I know Michelle Wright with short really dark hair. She looks like a different person. Anyways - Jen and I were losers and got our pic taken with her Wednesday night. I couldn't wait to get home to tell mom that I had FINALLY met her after so many years. LOL j/k. I felt like a loser but fuck it .... it was nice to meet her. Then I had to bring mom to the airport Thursday morning. (Shes gone to Halifax to visit my sister and the kids) So I pull upto the airport by departures so mom can take the bags out of the car and who do I see inside......HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA - yep...Michelle Wright. Cracked me up. She recognized me too .... I was pretty embarrassed. I am always friggin' embarrassed.....what else is new. I guess it has something to do with being really shy? I dunno. She was actually on mom's flight ..... 3 rows ahead of her. Too funny.

    Oh wow - its 1:08pm. I am so good at wasting time. I better go get ready for class since I have a lab @ 2. Don't have my prelab done either. AHHHH - I am slacking lately. I think its because I am getting so close to the end of the semester. Not good either ... I have 2 assignments due next Thursday and I haven't started either one of them yet. Won't get anything done tonight either because I think I am going to a movie....maybe. We'll see. Maybe I'll pass and do some work. Not very likely. But I am going to have to stay in tonight or tomorrow night to work on them since I am working tomorrow day and most likely Sunday as well. Ok enough rambling for one day ........

    I'm in such a terrible mood. There is just so much on my mind these days. It isn't a pretty site when I start thinking too much. One big thing is the fact that Christmas is so close and I am so broke. My 2 credit cards are both upto the limit and I have to try to save money for a trip to Halifax in February. Not too mention I need to have room on my visa to book a flight and to buy ecma tickets. The fact that I just put $90 on my visa for GBS tickets SUCKS! I  have got to stop going to god damn concerts. Thats mostly what has racked my visa and mastercard up lately. Michelle Wright, Diva's, Sarah Slean, GBS, Barenaked Ladies. Ugh. My friends give me the money for their ticket and I end up spending it because I am so broke. Oh my. I went dt Saturday night for the first time in ages. We were only down there for 2 hours and I somehow managed to spend $40 which caused me to get very sick and have a severe hang over. NOT worth it. 

    And on top of money issues ... why the fuck do I have diabetes?????????????????????

    My grandmother was transferred to the Miller Centre on Saturday. She doesn't seem to be doing so well lately. I went to visit her at St. Clares last Monday and she was out of it. I asked her what she had for supper and she said "I had Harry in." Harry is her husband who died about 12 years ago. I think all of the confusion is from a lack of oxygen. She was also like that when she first went in hospital. Oh my. The Miller Centre is nicer than I had expected (last night was my first time there). The lady in her room is also very nice. I spent some time watching 'The Making of Fog' with her. lol good times in the maritimes. Yeah....for sure. ha!

    Anyways - I just downloaded a few songs from Lake of Fire (more money on the visa ... only 4 bucks though). Some wonderful tunes to keep me sane. I can now listen to them when I am away from my computer. Woo-packin-hoo!!!!!

    5. When you go to a new question, press the next button

    Shalackin.... [Nov. 2nd, 2006|10:58 pm]

    Boo-urns on the internet. Well BOO to me wasting time on the internet and 'shalackin' when I should be doing my CS pre-lab right now. Too much work to do and WAY too much other stuff that can distract me. Not good says I! Another bad/REALLY good thing is that I got a loan of Grey's Anatomy (Season 1) from Jenny. I watched 2 episodes last night and I am defintitely going to have to watch more tonight. Very addicted....very very good show. I am a fan! I comes on in 7 minutes actually! ohh yeah....Gonna have to try to work on my prelab during the commercials.

    I had an appt with my new diabetes educator today. She seems great! Of course, I was nervous going there ... as I always am when I am going to see someone new but once I got there talking to her it was best kind. Very nice. However, I really really really miss Donna Hagerty (Nurse @ the Janeway). She is amazing. Gail (new nurse) said Donna is a hard act to follow. I agree ... but Gail seems super great so I am sure she will follow it just fine. I must visit/get together with Donna soon though. Her birthday is actually tomorrow. :)

    Jenny and I dressed up for Halloween @ work Tuesday night. What a laugh we had. We knew that Special O was still bowling and that they were dressing up so we figured we should too. First time I've dressed up for Halloween in ages ... well other than cat ears and a boe tie @ Breen's. lol I was (and AM...lol) an angel. Jenny was some kind of creepy pink person. haha it was cute.

    OK ... gotta go. Grey's is on in 1 min!
