Genevieve's Place

Yesterday, I played halo for the first time, don’t ask me why, I’m not quite sure myself. But, I have to admit that it’s pretty cool that you can connect two xboxes and shoot at each other. I just had to figure out which way was up and which way was not. And, consequently, I was probably shot, sniped, slashed, etc, at least 20 times for every lucky kill that I had. Wow, I sound so morbid, and at first I could barely keep my eyes on the screen. Heh. It’s what happens. It was a long long Easter weekend. How was yours? It was probably the first Easter Sunday in probably ever that I didn’t go to church. Shame on me, I know.

Tomorrow me and Dallas are taking Nyk (Nyck?) to the children’s museum. I actually think it’s going to be pretty entertaining. Well, plus spending time with only the cutest kid in the world doesn’t hurt either. Now I just need to finish my silly paper tonight, given that my library books were recalled for tomorrow :P.

I feel so out of touch with everyone now. I didn’t really see anyone when I was home for the weekend, besides of course seeing people at Superstore, which is always good. Oh, and I got a new bed, well a sofa bed thinger…and I’ve decided that this summer I’m really going to paint my room. It’s going to be pale yellow, and then I’ll get blue fabrics etc etc…yeah trading spaces. I’m finally inspired. Not like I’ll be spending much time in there but, it’s something to do.

I got Weakerthans tickets!!! I was already resigned to the fact that I wasn't going because ticketmaster was telling me they were sold out, but I tried again today and it worked!!! I'm pumped. Yes, I had to sacrifice the fact that Friday would've been better, but I've got a calculus exam on Saturday afternoon, so I must settle for Saturday night. No matter. But I bought 4 tickets. I'm not quite sure why. hmm. I only needed two.

In response to Marcia's comment, no one's really talked to me in ages. It's like a reunion everytime I see someone that I haven't seen in a couple of weeks. And just like I said to Gina when she asked when we could hang out...how does sometime in April sound? Maybe when finals are over? Yeah, I'm not really kidding.

Why, yes. Yes I am. I had a four hour nap this evening so I'm not feeling too tired right now. Plus I just got back from going out and getting chocolate and coffee, just because I was craving it. Well, by the time I started driving there I wasn't craving it so much anymore, but, hey, I was out. Probably not the best of plans since I'm almost out of gas, but oh well. It was fun while it lasted. Not that I had anyone to talk to about it.

See, I was going to make some hamburger helper for lunch today. I didn't know it required milk. Looked into the fridge and all I saw was vanilla flavoured soy milk and figured that it could wait. So I ate toast for lunch.

In retrospect, this has been a very long week.

I spent today baking, and all I can say is...I won't do that again for a long time. And, does anyone have a good chocolate chip cookie recipe? Because no matter what I try, nothing turns out for me :(

Also, so much to say, but not the aprops time to say it. It goes unsaid, and you'll ask me why I didn't say anything sooner.

Within my heart a garden grows,
Wild with violets and fragrant rose,
Bright daffodils line the narrow path,
My footsteps silent has I pass.
I kneel in prayer to seek God's best.

For round my garden a fence stands firm,
To guard my heart so I can learn,
Who should enter and who should wait,
on the other side of that locked gate.
I clasp the key around my neck,
And I wonder if the time is yet.

If I unlocked the gate today
Would you enter? Or run away?
