Club 5

ok so today we had our first excursion to club 5 since ive been back, i went with a bunch of my friends qnd had a great time!!it was alot of fun, i even got to fend off a wild kit

fun with the folks

So Mom, Dad and I tried to go see a play on Willy St. but we were late so we went to a near by.

Anyway, it turned out well. We ended up going to the last show at the old Hilldale Theater. For their ending show they were doing a Sound of Music singalong thingy. I thought it was going to be kinda corny...and it was...but it wasn't that bad, I actually enyojed it. ^_^

They had a costume contest and a little goody bad that had a bunch of little things in it that you used during different point of the movie. Like a little piece of curtain etc. It was cool.

eh...bored

Um....
So I'm home.

I got picked up by an unknown assailant at the airport, dragged to his abode, then was finally released the next morning. I liked it even though it was a tad bit awkward, but being abducted tends to do that.

Afterwards I lost myself downtown with two lovely femmes who showed me the joy of madisonian creme along with a lovely tour of the elevator facilities in the student center.

Other than that I have been hanging with the parentials and making nightly runs to various ladies in the neighborhood because frankly, if I don't have a destination I won't go anywhere.

Lets see....yea, thats my life in short lately, nothing that interesting but that shall soon be remedied once school releases my friends from its evil clutches. Who needs scholin anyway, jesh.

so....

ok, so i was over at Ils saturday to spend the night and well, before we knew it we had a sake bottle in front of us along with a stack of cards. What luck, itadakimasu! Anyway, by the end of a couple games the fighting started to begin and before I knew it I was engaged in a slapping contest of epic proportions! ...yea im a geek

oh and if you didnt notice hella won

to me beloved

Today is wednesday the 6th of December.
And I am in a weird mood.
My camara came today.
Today was the last day of out french classes.
Both of these events have caused me to realize something.
That I am actually going to Grenoble, with a group of people that I love and admire. I never thought that this would actually happen and I am kind of in shock. I figured that I was going to fail out and stay in Seattle and feel like a loser, but I didn't. I actually succeded.
Anyway, I am writing this note in order to thank all of you. From the kids in my class who told me how to pronouce 'eu' and to all my friends who had faith in me.
Thank you.

....uh...yea...

so all i have to say is this...

http://www.globalorgasm.org/

things are getting batter....wait better...

So....like the title says, I think things are starting to look up. No I am not any more less stressed....ok actually I am more stressed because I found out I was enrolled in a class that I didn't do anything for becasue I didn't know I was in it....but that can be talked about later.

you know....I don't even know what I am saying anymore...I am freaking the FUCK out because I am going to FRANCE! (well I assume I am...) I am not prepared! I still have to get my Visa and talk to financial aid and talk to housing and figure out how to graduate and pack.....you can't forget packing. Oh on top of finals and work....

ok....so lots of stress...

but hey I am starting to run again and I have faith

I have faith that I will do what I need to do and things will work out. And as long as I have this faith I will be ok, and keep my sanity....keeping sanity is good

PS: I do also have to admit that going home and seeing a certain someone is also keeping me up right now, but hey, it happens. :)

uck....

So I am annoyed.
Not really at any one thing, more like a combination of things.
The really funny (meaning stupid) thing that sparked this latest bout was that I wanted to go to brunchg with my friends, you know the common sunday brunch where you sit for an hour so and just talk. Well unfortuantly that didn't work out because people had homework to do, which yes I do agree is a good thing but comeon, if you don't take a break and relax your brain is going to go crazy!

Erg....my friends are annoying, I really think I need to make friends with some alcohloics, then at least I will have someone to drink with. ^_^

All this could also stem from the fact that I am not exercising....so maybe I should stop complaining and go for a run.

'procrastination' - whenever a tristen doesn't want to do something and does things that normaly bore him in effort to not do said thing

So Andrew did this Paul Goldin color test earlier today, the one with the color match up thingy. He thought his results were kinda cool so he posted them and from what I know of him they seemed fairly correct. So...I decided to see what my results would be, because not only was it a fun way to procrastinate but I was honestly interested in what it says. Anyway, when I looked at my results I had to share them because they are just ridiculously true. I had to laugh because my computer knows more about me then I do.

You are feeling exhausted, worn out, drained. You feel that far too much is being asked of you but you still want to overcome these difficulties and establish yourself despite the effect such an effort seems to have on you. You are a proud person, assertive most of the time, but at this particular moment you are acting as if you have become resigned to the situation. What you need is some tender loving care - a gentle pat on the head (or maybe a 'kick-up-the backside') and then you'll be raring to go.

You are a true extrovert, frivolous and outgoing. You need to feel in control of any situation. If matters are not proceeding according to plan you tend to get extremely irritable and perhaps become difficult to live with.

You are a demanding egocentric and therefore quick to take offence. This attitude makes people feel somewhat inadequate when in your company and so it is no wonder that at times you feel alone and unwanted.

It is said that we are all influenced by our environment and indeed you are no exception. It would seem at this time that even though you may be surrounded by people, you are experiencing an inner loneliness. Fortunately you are sufficiently strong minded to realise that life has a great deal to offer you and that you may miss your share of experiences if you fail to make the best use of every opportunity. You therefore pursue your objectives with a fierce intensity and are prepared to commit yourself deeply and readily. You believe that whatever you would like to do or think 'you can do' - you do! It is because of this attitude that you may be considered by others as arrogant and even conceited, but its fair to say that whatever it is that you really want out of life you will put your heart and soul into it and will not take 'NO' for an answer.

You are afraid that you may not be able to realise or achieve your hopes and desires and so you insist that people should accept you as you are and appreciate your rights to anything that you aspire to.

well this is depressing....

The following is the response I recieved from my french prof. in which I asked if I was going to be allowed to go to Grenoble:

Tristen,
Thanks for your e mail. I think it would be good for you, Victor and me to meet soon to discuss your situation. I think you have been making progress, although there are some issues from earlier in the quarter, for example prepositions with place names, that still cause you problems. Your last quiz was solid with the exception of that section. Let's discuss this together when the three of us are free. Talk to you soon.
Paul

I emailed him back saying that I would like to meet the two of them as soon as possible, because frankly I am going crazy thinking about it.

Why do I suck so much....

confused

I love Thanksgiving, but the weird thing is that these last few days have been so very confusing. Mental, spiritually and physically.
I know the next few weeks are going to be stressful with tests and the like but I am kind of looking forward to the ordered chaos that it will bring. Plus being able to get myself out and run again will be nice.
Maybe one of the things I learned this weekend is that I shouldn't have more than one sleepover night a week. Otherwise I keep eating everything and get nothing done.
Go fat me!

i might be going....

So my teacher signed me up for taking the French In France courses on SU online. Which I think means that he is going to let me go. Because why would he sign me up if he wasn't going to let me go....

Well in the meantime I am going to assume that he changed his mind and is going to let me. And if I am wrong I will cry.

Random thoughts

So it is sunday....in november....and it is only a month till the quarter is over.

The question that I keep thinking about is weather or not I am actually going to be able to go to france. I think I am doing better in class but I really don't know. I guess the reason I wonder this is becasue I a keep telling myself that if you really want to go you should study and study and keep studing. But the thing is I think the notion of doing so scares me. I am afraid to get it wrong, weird huh. I guess it is kind of like when one was a big paper due but instead of doing it runs around with his head cut off because the idea of the paper in general scares him. Does that make sense?

And then I think, about if I do get there, can I survive? Do I really know french? Will it click once I get there (if I get there) or will I be running around lost and confused?

I know what I should do, and that is to study.
So let us start....if I can...

Halloween!

So halloween this year was chill but great!

Iliana and I decided to be Virtual Fighters such as Street Fighter and the like. So we made our own little characters complete with costumes and emblazened them with "QFIII" and "3...2...1...FIGHT!" We even started fighting at the party at our old house this past Saturday, I think some of the girls took pictures so I will try to add them later. Anyway, without doubt that party was fun and afterwards Bit and I went to the Rugby party and I talked and drank with my team. The weird thing is at that party I got molested (don't know if it was willing or not) by a boy who I thought I left months and months ago. Well whatever, he probably won't remember and I don't care.

The tuesday of halloween I hung out with the boys after practice and we went to CC's, I think it was CC's, but I am not sure. Anyway, we drank and then I went to the Rosebud and met up with Leigh, Amanda, Bit, Val, Iliana, and some of Leigh and Amanda's friends who I know but cannot remember. We had fun and drank quite alot, I remember sometime during the night i kept passing out on one of Leighs friends shoulder. Hey, what can I say he was comfortable and he even bought me a drink. Go me being cute! Yay! .....jesh I need to stop doing that...

So that was my halloween fun, what about yours?
