I was surprized to see that i am still in the top 200 on clix. Go figure. Even with a banner that says "I am the monkey"
I'm way too funny sometimes, too funny for my own good.
I should tell interesting stories about my sex life on here. Then people would flock to my blog. Too bad it is boring ;)
Um. I feel like i need to seriously update my template. Maybe i'll do that when i am not sick anymore.
Shmucks.
If you decide to come visit me from Clix, leave me a note. i don't bite. Unless you ask me to ;)

Today is just a bad day.

Brian Johns:
Friday, Feb. 21st, swam the 400 IM (KILLER). The previous world record was a 4:04.74, held by Matthew Dunn, and it was sent in 1998.
Brian's previous best time was a 4:06.7 or something
He swam a 4:02.72.
WHOW

Wow, it's been two days, and i'm still in shock. I can't believe someone i know (and not just someone i know, someone i know really well) has a world record. YAY. He's doing so amazingly well, and he's totally telling the rest of the world to watch out, cuz he's coming!!
It's funny, cuz last week, we were getting drunk. YAY.

Well, I have to say, it's not everyday that your best friend has an oppurtunity to break a world record....
So, I decided that even though Brian was not exactly CLOSE to the WR, i was gonna go and watch him swim today in Victoria. So I head over to Victoria knowing that he's gonna have a good swim.......
I never expected him to do what he did though. He FUCKING SMASHED the world record. By 2 seconds.
Anyway, it was the coolest most intense thing i have EVER watched. I almost peed my pants!
Anyway, Congrats to Brian, you are truly amazing sweetie, I love ya, and you know it. :)
I'm outtie.

Howdy all!
I am so releived that it's over. It's offically 12:07 and i have made it through Valentine's Day unscathed by Cupid's bow. I no longer feel the need to send out little cards. However, I have writen "anti-valentines" valentines to my friends....I figured that today (by today i mean the 14th) was as good a day as any to let people know that they are important to me.
I didn't see everyone today though, due to prior commitments, but that's okay.
However, i did have bubble tea with my Valentine (cough cough) Mr. Pooleys. He was very sweet and asked if i wanted to go have bubble tea today, so i obliged. I was originally planning on going to get uber tanked, but i restrained and am putting it off until tomorrow night as Pooley was much more important. ;)
So i had bubble tea and relaxed with Pooley and it was great. When i gave him his Anti-Valentine, he sniff! Almost cried (maybe not).

So i had two midterms today. it was weird, in a way, i usually don't care about midterms cuz i never study anyways.......but these were different. no one studied. No one. We all walked in going "I can't believe the TA's aren't striking". I knew my stuff on both though, as they aren't really the types of classes where you can read about the midterm in a text book...my english/poetry class, where you just had to be attending class, and paying attention in order to write the essay on a sight poem, and my french class, where again, you just really had to be attending the class.
Anyhoo, it's late and i'm tired, so sweet dreams everyone!

I'm taking a health psychology course. It's a lot of work, a lot of definitions, and a lot of understanding. The problem? 50 Multiple choice questions. Yeah. In my opinion health psych is very muc NOT about the MC questions. Anyway....
Something that we discussed is called "empathetic coping". In some cases, this is a good thing, like when it facilitates problems solving, and in close loving relationships where you are trying to help people through things. However, there is a negative side to empathetic coping as well. People can become TOO good at it. The most scary example is women in abusive relationships. When the abusive significant other is the one consoling the woman after the abuse, he (assuming it is a he here, sorry to offend the males) is also forcing upon her an empathetic view of the situation. Because she is being comforted by the abuser, she also sees that he is not always like that....leading her to believe that if she had done whatever caused the fight (Not having dinner early enough, cooking something he doesn't like) to be her fault. The woman then starts believing that she deserves to be abused, as she can see the point of view of her sig. other. This is the over-use of empathetic coping. This is called "Battered Wife Syndrome". Very difficult.
It's hard to see when you don't know it's happening (to you). It's one of those things that you think only happens on TV, on old movies, or the Sopranos. But it's real.
More on a less sombre note when i get home from 8 hours of mean green chlorine.

why is my blog broken again???
