ALRIGHTY MOM– See that? It says ‘Comments’ down there! See! SEE!!!
For the faint of mind my cute wording of escapes instead of the classic comments was switched back to the cliched comments tag. My mother can rest easy tonight knowing that I have done her will. All is now right in the world, and, do I suddenly hear the sound of beautiful birds singing sweet melodies by my ear? Okay, okay, sarcasm aside…
I’m going to talk about something of no interest to anyone but Amberlove in this next section (Unless you have been stalking the short story I have been writing for her for Birthday-Christmas-Wintereenmas), and that is the story I am writing for her. Basically, I thought of a brilliant plot twist last night a stellar ending almost as good as the one I had originally planned. So, I am at a crossroads as to which ending I would like I am drumming my fingers on the desk pondering it now. A copy of the story in question (bys the by) can be found on my fictionpress site or in the writing section of this site.
Now for some good news — I got into the University of Ottawa! Yes, that’s right, a University actually accepted me despite all my shortcomings and oddities, and you had so little faith too, Miss. Bowley, didn’t you? I’m technically registered for philosophy, (an up-and-coming degree for homelessness I hear!) but I may switch to history (homelessness and alcoholism!) I know I should probably have stuck with technology, but I can only be a young idealist once! Then I have to find a real job.
My cold has died down a bit, but I’m still feeling a bit sick, I spent all of yesterday sleeping, much to the dismay of my roommates. I had a french girl who kept checking in with her boyfriend…(Gee, I wonder why she was so upset with me?) and two Japanese girls who were very sweet and kind et all, but spoke loudly in Japanese from dusk until dawn. It was a bit irritating, because I could understand pieces of it but not enough to know what they were talking about, so I had a bit of a headache trying to tune them out.
I read for most of yesterday — The Sweet Far Thing again, Candide, Beyond Good and Evil, and Dracula again meaning I’m all but completely finished my book reserve. I only have Sartre’s Nausea left, and that was a bit heavy even for me to get through while I was ill. So I played some Nintendo DS to while away to thirty seconds it took for my to fall asleep.
Also, I also finally spoke to the elusive Mr. Powers yesterday, and he promises food! And life outside of the hostel and help in finding a job, which I could not possibly be happier about. I also applied at some CD chains and some stationary chains (Staples had to be good for something)
To my commenters:
Amber, of course I am still writing yours story (see above) I am just at a crossroads >>; (And the camera thief shall suffer muchly… just WAIT!) I’m going to try and get on AIM at a time that you are… curse the 5 hours!
Kathy, hehe! I’ve always been a fan of Britishisms, which makes my dear friends roll their eyes– but now I have an excuse!

OMG congratulations on being accepted into Ottawa!! *tackle hug glomp* I’m so happy for you. 
I’m lame and barely have much to say, but I love you muchly, and I’m sure you’ll manage to catch me on AIM at some point because I’m online all day, as you have probably noticed!
And I’m glad your cold is getting better. It of course picks the moment when you have no time for colds to exist. XP

Hey Cait - thanks for clearing up the comment stuff for us techno losers!! Its taken me this long to figure out how to send you a message!! Congrats on getting into uni - but bigger congrats on grabbing your amazing adventure by the tale!! hope the homesickishness is getting better - actually it is better to feel that way then not - although I am sure it doesn’t seem that way to you - any luck on the job front - try a few flower shops kiddo - they often need people to clean flowers or help around the shop!! you must have learned some of that by osmosis - anyway Caitie - hang in there - personally i think taking in as much of where you are as you can is a job in itslf eh!!!
love ya xoxo Janet

I talked to my “sisty ugler” today and she referred me here. Loved reading your posts so far. It is a bit disorienting not having all the usual props around, but you sound like you are still standing. What a great time and way to get to know yourself. i am starting to sound old, so I better go before I embarrass myself by
telling you this is the best time of your life.
i look forward to the continuing story,
Love, aunt Mo
PS i submitted this yesterday and it just seemed to disappear, this is my second go.

Mommy is so happy that she just had to write the very first COMMENT (as opposed to the new-fangled ESCAPE!!)
I’m glad your cold is a bit better and that you are meeting Mike today. I think a few days of semi homelife may be just what the doctor ordered. You can re-group, do your laundry, use the phone and internet and above all — get a good night’s sleep. Thank heavens for family and friends (a million thank yous to you, Kathy McP, if you’re reading along)
This is your week for a job — I can feel it in my bones. Is today the job fair at the British Museum?? Good luck with that. Maybe you could even line something up for next summer?
I’m sending your acceptance in to University of Ottawa today — I have a couple of questions — maybe I’ll wait until I talk with you before sending…
Love you sweetheart — this is THE WEEK!!! Mom always knows…
