Not too much new!

So I have decided to take a sickie today so that way I can get some researching done for 4 term papers that I have due at the end of November. I know I am actually starting early, I am trying to override my procrastination gene. In all actual fact I am trying to get them all done early so I can go and party with Max in Montreal on his birthday.
But I do feel like a bag of crap today as well. I went for an abdominal ultrasound this morning and the girl that was doing it was pressing rather hard on one spot and it has kinda made me sick to my stomach, not good. So I am taking it easy.
If anyone has any ideas about the following topics let me know: barebacking, sensation and perception and id theft and fraud.
Thanx!
Peace out people!

Go out and vote!

Okay I was watching Oprah today and there was something really interesting and that is hardly anyone gets out there and votes. The way I see it, it is very simple, it is a way of telling the government that you are happy or not happy with direction that your country is moving. In the United States and Canada there is a movement to make abortion illegal. Which to me as a woman is a violation of my rights to have control over my body. How is it that middle aged men can make the decision that abortion should be illegal? If someone could explain that to me then by all means please e-mail me with your case!!! Come on I dare you!!!

The very first post

Well I guess that you can say that I am taking this idea from my friend Sarunas and running with it. I think that this is a totally cool idea. Well what can I say, I am paying too much for a post-secondary degree that will not gurantee a job once I am finished. I should have been born Swedish!!! I just finished spending 10 months there, studying Swedish culture and society. It was an amazing opportunity to think in ways that are not possible by living in small town Canada. I was basically born a redneck, but you would never guess because of the opinions that I hold.
A major turning point in my life has definitely been my experience in Sweden but also coming home and dealing with the fact that my father who died in June 2003 is not here anymore.
Major pet peeves in life: people who agree with the American perspective i.e George Bush, people who can't drive, people who are leftist and hold it against others who aren't namely one person in my poli sci class, people who don't use common sense that they in actual fact possess, and people who use others to gain further in life when in actual fact they are destroying the other person involved.
