As I sit here doing homework - okay, watching 'Sex and the City' (movie), I've realized that every girl needs a Charlotte. Now, for all of you who DON'T watch SATC (I personally suggest start), Charlotte is the friend who is boring. She doesn't party, doesn't get into crazy situations, she falls in love and has meaningful relationships, she has a child and is an amazing mom...sounds a little boring honestly.
There is this one moment, when Carrie is supposed to get married and is jilted, see's her boyfriend/fiancee/jiltee and starts hitting him with flowers. Big gets closer to talk to her while she's in Charlotte's arms - and Charlotte does this mother lion thing and just glares and says "NO, NO"...and stops him in his tracks.
Every woman needs a friend who is protective, and caring and may be 'boring' sometimes...but she's the one who's there. She's the one that has advice to help a relationship or a kid that won't sleep. She's the friend that squeals over the good news and announces it to the world but really is the mother-hen of the group.
Now, I'm going back to SATC.

Turtle moments, a sprained ankle and a long day
I had good intentions today...I really did. I planned to go get the UVA/UVB light needed for Ludwig and then come home and do homework...that didn't really happen though.
While walking through the mall, I realized my foot was getting even more sore...and then, I ended up falling as my ankle kind of 'let go'...and no, I wasn't drunk. Turns out I have a bad sprain and will need physio for it to repair the damage. Basically, my ankle has been sprained so many times it's more likely to continue (oh goody).
Ludwig - what an expensive pimped out turtle. She now has the bulb, a temperature gauge on the side of her tank, her rocks...her precious stick, a floating dock...and a calcium stick...oh, and her treats. She is loved...and yet, she hates me. What a girl.
Apart from that, now it's time for me to do homework and get my butt in gear. I want A's this term.
Later!

Well, that's interesting
Okay folks,
So my sister is getting married in the summer - August 11th. Are we close? Nope. I'll even say that a lot of this was my fault. I didn't always make the smartest choice when I was younger. That being said, I've done my best to at best, stay out of the way but to say she's frosty is an understatement. She's colder than an icicle in a Yukon winter half the time to me and just ignores me the rest of the time. Recently, I came home for a funeral and I didn't get a text, msg, email, nothing - the only time I saw her was when I invited her up for supper, which for some reason, my mother thought I should be happy about...and I'm digressing.
Mom told me tonight that she was getting 3 of her friends to stand up with her - I guess in a sense, I expected to be part of the wedding party. That's what sisters do, right? Well, apparently not. So I read some online articles about people in the same boat as I. Most said "It's her day, her decision" and I completely accept that...but it ignores the fact that the sister is STILL a little hurt and excluded.
I tend to have anxiety about 'what do people think?' and so, as people are thinking "Yay for the happy couple," I know I'd be wondering why someone's sister wasn't in the bridal party (especially in a small community). In a way, I just don't want to go. I know that sounds mean or I'm going to hear "you'll regret it"...it's an 'in a way' thought. I'll probably be dragged along by somebody but this was sort of that 'last straw' thing. I just want to go home, throw myself into work, ignore everything else except work/volunteer work and go from there.
End of the day, I guess I am a little miffed but it's her day so congrats.
In other news, my friend who was going to call me right back (or text)...the one I decided I wasn't dealing with anymore, apparently doesn't want to be angry with me anymore (okay great) and...even better...got busy with work since...5 days ago. Look, I get busy - funny thing, I really understand it. I also understand common courtesy. I'm just really sick and tired of it and I really am trying to understand it and be 'nice' but there's a part of me that just wants to say 'I'm really done". At that moment, when I texted him that time, he wasn't busy...so thanks for the lack of courtesy.
Again, I'm really having one of those weeks that may go down in history as just being sucky!
Gnight blog-world!

Gnight blog-world!
Facebook now Twitter
I have decided for the next 2 months (that is, until June 30 or when I'm done class) I will be off fb and twitter - that's right - I'm running old school. I will not be getting rid of my blog though - this thing is my life some days.
I'm really not sure what to think but if someone really wanted to get in contact with me, I'm sure they could. I can be contacted via the following ways:
e-mail (I will answer within 24 hours) thetinkertimes@gmail.com
Phone - If you email me, I'll give you my number...unless you're a creeper or some pain in the butt, in which case, I'll pretend I'm going through a tunnel and hang up.
Mommy - yep, email her - unless it's about shenanigans then please, don't.

First day off facebook
So apart from one little slip up (I didn't even realize I was going on it), I haven't been on Facebook. I'm not going to lie - I'm kind of an addict. I feel like I'm not going to have any friends, like I'm going to miss out on my entire life - like I'm just completely alone...and that's okay!
This gives me more time to do homework, go places, do things - have fun! Today I read a book for sociology, ran into a friend (was a little short because I didn't have a lot of time as I was reading and that book is NOT simple). I'm going to do the write up tonight and get this assignment out of the way...and then focus on English tomorrow.
Now, I do have a sprained ankle so no jogging for awhile. My left ankle was bad last night but it's hurting today. Ouch.
Apart from that, I broke down and messaged my friend who I wasn't going to talk to anymore - yep, I know - absolutely no resolve. The thing is: if something happened, say he got hurt or something, and the last thing I remember was "wow, we were fighting terribly" I'd feel like an awful person. Now, I still believe he's been a huge jerk...but he's been a good friend before, so hopefully he's smartened up a bit. I hate arguing via text too - too often it's just a misunderstanding - not a real issue. Fingers crossed.
Anyways - off to work on sociology then english then...GRIMM!!!!
