Today I had a pretty nice day. It was just one of those days when little things made me smile. One of the first patients in the office today was a university professor who I kinda hit it off with and we chatted about him giving a midterm today and about my degree and about time off before and after university... It was kinda cool to talk to him like that because generally I put professors up onto a whole other level above me and feel like they're unapproachable. It's just nice when nice patients come in to the office :)
Then on my lunch I decided to go get a coffee, and while I was in there they were selling sandwiches that looked much tastier than the rice cakes and yogurt I had brought for lunch. VC (one of the Drs at work) was in there buying his lunch as well, and ended up buying me lunch, much to my protesting. So sweet.
Eating my lunch I sat outside in the sunshine and it felt
warm and it was so beautiful. :)
And after work and class I went for a run in the sun! Now I'm going out to see my girls. What better way to end the day.
But maam, you qualify for a loan! Don't you want to be in debt up to your eyeballs?!
Me: Hi, I'd like to check the balance of my account.
Citibank Guy: $0
Me: YAY!! Then I'd like to close my account.
Citibank Guy: But you are qualified for a loan up to $3000! You can use that money for anything: travel, home improvements, shopping... would you like to hold while I transfer you to the loan department?
Me: No thanks, I don't want $3000. I'd like to close my account.
Citibank Guy (snarkily): Fine.
Yayayayay! Screw you, Citibank! And you didn't get any interest out of me either! HAH!

That is all.
"Her hand fondled the growing bulge in his pants"
So one night this week I stayed over at my parents' house, and while I was supposed to be studying in my old bedroom (which is more or less still the same as when I lived there, although it looks a lot more guest-room-ish) I went looking through my closet and happened upon some of my old writing. I used to write stories a lot as a kid (I have a huge binder full of them), but this was writing from when I was probably 15 or 16.
The story on the top of the pile was my attempt at some erotic fiction, which I don't remember writing at all, and which was entirely hilarious to read! I must have felt such a sexual prowess when I wrote it (though I had not actually
had sex yet), because there is a lot of detail about nipples and bulges and heavy breathing. I wish I had the balls to scan it and post it for the world to see, but it's a little embarrassing! Although, I'm also proud of my little teenage self - way to express your sexuality, little Maresa! Hehe.
The other writings I found were probably more embarrassing though, because they were all angsty and typically teenageer-ish. And this is why I didn't crack the old journals that I found lying next to my writing book - I can only handle so much in one day!!

Bitten
The sick bug caught me!! I was dancing away from it and taking my vitamin C pills and drinking my OJ, and as soon as I stopped it was right there, waiting to pounce! Today I woke up feeling a little under the weather, I attributed it to being unhappy that it wasn't Saturday yet. During the morning at work, I thought the stuffed feeling in my head meant that I was tired. In the afternoon, I realised that my constant nose blowing and heavy eye feeling were signs of the sickness! And now I can't believe that I'm not blowing brains out of my nose yet. Seriously. I feel like poo, my head is throbbing and my eyes just want to close. I feel like a sucker going to bed this early though, so I will prevail for another half hour - hour tops!
My pink glasses got approval yesterday, and I was told I had to have them by next Thursday so that I could wear a pink outfit with my pink glasses! Haha. I think this may all be getting a liiiittle out of hand... And I made one of the Drs at work check my prescription today just
in case anything had changed within the last year, but nope, I'm still a big old plano. That's right, you heard me,
plan-O. (Okay, okay, this is just a fancy term meaning zero prescription.)

Spectacles!
Okay, I never thought I'd be obsessed with glasses. Considering I don't even
need glasses. Now I notice glasses everywhere, no matter where I am, I'm unconscious of it. And I have opinions on glasses, I decide if I like the colour, the shape, if they suit that person... It's a little ridiculous. Anyway. It's that time of year again when I get another free set of glasses. What do you think about this pair?
These are not the Vera Wang ones I was initially interested in. These are a new pair I just saw today. They're Dior (oooh la la) and "fuschia" and I think they're pretty amazing.
And feel free to hit me now because of all this glasses talk. :P

It is amazing how getting sick zonks you right out. I got 9.5 hours sleep on Saturday night, had 8 hours sleep last night, had a nap yesterday, and now I'm going to take another nap before I have to go to class in an hour. Geez. I'm still trying to fend this bug off, though - I haven't succumbed yet! I'm taking vitamin C every day, drinking lots of orange juice, green tea, water, and eating chicken soup for lunch today and yesterday. NO COLDS ALLOWED! :(
I <3 Seattle
Seattle was
so great. I seriously love it there and could live there in an instant. This trip to Seattle was even better than past trips there because we were hanging out with a couple friends who live there and got away from downtown and into the local neighbourhoods of Capitol Hill (a very trendy, young neighbourhood with fantastically old brick buildings) and Fremont (an arty neighbourhood). We all spent Friday night drinking local beer at a couple bars in Capitol Hill and walked around and at 1AM, we drove to a park in Fremont that overlooks the entire city at night... it was damn great.
Seeing that side of Seattle has just cemented more in my head that I need to leave here and live in a big metropolitan city. Soon. I crave that kind of diversity and vibrancy. I felt this way when I came back from New York city last summer too. Living here may be a good place to settle down, but right now I want to
experience and
do things and I itch to get away.
Anyway! The real reason this journey to Seattle took place was to see the MSTRKRFT concert, which was also awesome. We were listening to their music on the whole drive down to Seattle so I was well primed! That was the second MSTRKFRT concert I'd been to and it was waaaay better than the first. Yep yep, it was great.
And now: homework and laundry. :(

I'm so vain, I probably think this blog is about me
So when I'm 50, I want to be part of a women's hockey team and do kickboxing classes and ride mechanical bulls. Srsly.
I'm randomly going to Seattle tomorrow after work to see
MSTRKRFT. I was originally going to go see them in Vancouver on Friday night, but the tickets were sold out - and I mean, going to Vancouver is pretty much like going to Seattle, right? Eh. I need a vacation anyway.
All I want to do right now is close my eyes and stand under the hot water in the shower. And then slide under my cool covers and read my book. And to go sleep. Is that incredibly nerdy? Too bad.
