Sooo.. as it turns out it is undesirable for my mother and I to have Canadian pride for Nickelback xD But even if I'd grown up in Canada I probably wouldn't have known.. because I don't know about the music industry, I just listen to songs I like :3 _{The film industry is my vice.. I follow that rather closely.. e.g. I'm put off Mel Gibson movies despite their genius because he's such a dick in the real world... lol.. fame.}

Will I keep digging if I say I also like maple-flavoured shreddies, "Corner Gas", grain elevators, prairies, bluejays, chickadees, beaver dams being warm in winter and making the ice thin so it cracks when you accidentally get too close in your skidoo, ice skating, Neil Young, robin egg-shells, little towns, Vancouver airport and hot boys at Whistler? *feebly waves her Canadian flag*



Also more than sufficiently awkward is something I've been meaning to talk to you all about.. my inbox situation. I currently still have 701 comments to go through, and I keep making it worse because I keep submitting things. B-but.. I don't want to not submit things.. and I don't like deleting comments.. *headdesk*

You've already shown me much understanding and patience, so I thank you kindly Sorry about the whole mess, though


Hey, y'know what else is sufficiently awkward? My life. As I've said I'm mostly recovered from whatever I had (two blood tests couldn't tell me what it was, other than "a virus", but considering my symptoms it had to have been glandular fever's equally mean twin brother or something >_> ) .. but it's left me with a few clinging ails that make engaging with daily life almost unwelcome. I mean, I've got shit I have to do, like going bra shopping for bras that fit (lol, that's right, I'm not letting that one go).. but the outside world is scary and full of germs _{I instinctively started typing "Germans" there.. XDDD!} that would love to prey upon my ruined immune system. Suffice to say I have a fair amount of confidence I need to get back.

Also: tertiary education. I've had my gap year.. now it's time for homework again. I've applied to a rather prestigious film school that’s only been providing an undergraduate course for two years now... prior to this they wouldn't look at you unless you had impressive credentials involving actual industry experience. It was the most gut-wrenching application process... I'll submit the script I had to write for it lol.. just cuz I stuck Waffen in it. I don't really think I'll get in, though.. So there's a little animation school I could go to instead. Either way I haven't exactly left myself many options, because I was overseas for the regular uni application times... aaand the prospect of post-school life terrifies me xD

I kind of love it how Cam's own struggle with the same thing became a self-fulfilling prophecy for me... "My university application forms remained unfilled, a testimony to my deep fear of actually engaging with life lest I fail at it."



... *giggles awkwardly*


I mean, the whole occurrence of life in general is just awkward, isn't it?

All you can do is laugh about it xD
