Well, I was going to do some review for physics tonight, seeing as how I've understood nothing that has gone on in that class so far. I sat down with my CD rom and notes, and I went through some questions for about 10 minutes, and realized it's utterly hopeless, and that test is going to kick my ass tomorrow. I might as well suffer through and just get on with the next unit, because I'm seeming to understand it a lot better.

However, I have mentioned before that my physics teacher Mr Ball is probably the most boring and monotonous talker I've ever heard in my life. Well today just went a step further to show how hilairious this voice makes his jokes. Today he was doing this experiment to show how one of Newton's laws works. Basically he had a brick with 2 strings tied to either end, one string was tied to a pole, and he had the other one in his hand. He pulled the one string in his hand really quickly, and as he predicted, the string he was holding snapped. He told us that the result would be different if he pulled the string slowly, so he attatched another string and did just that. As you can probably guess...it didn't work, the same string broke. Mr Ball seemed quite upset about this, here's what he said:

"Well...that's not supposed to happen. We've just violated one of Newton's laws, and that usually only happens if we're moving faster than the speed of light, or if we're dealing with sub-atomic particles....and really neither of those things is happening."

Haha, it was so funny because he was obviously confused/frustrated but he kept such a calm voice, it was probably funnier if you were there. He tried to do the same experiment like 5 times, and the same thing happened each time, he got so angry towards the end that he just gave up and was really bitter. Pure gold.

Other than that, nothing really exciting happened today. Mme Gelinas bitched at me in french class for no good reason as usual, and Mr Cherry said he liked my composition for music, w00t.

Oh, and I've added some new muzak to my repetoire. Not really typical for what I listen to usually, but hey, I like it, and that's all that matters.
-HORSE the band (fucking awesome, listen to Cutsman by them, so good)
-VNV Nation (somewhat techno/industrial)
-Skinny Puppy (a lot like VNV but a little more metal-ish?)
-ICP (haha, ok no making fun about this one, Darcy got me into it)
-Gorguts (sounds a lot like just plain noise the first time you listen, takes some time)

Something has been bothering me today though. Lately I've been feeling pretty good about being single, I'm having a good time not worrying about a significant other person in my life. I'm just being Addy, and that's cool with me. But today when I had a spare second period, I was walking over to Tim Hortons, and I saw this couple sitting there having coffee and talking, and I thought it was a really nice thing to see. I felt a little sad about not having someone to do that with on a regular basis. It's not so much that I'm missing anyone in particular right now, it's more or less I just miss the feeling of having someone that you can consider your other half. I have been spending a whole bunch of time with Jocey, which is awesome because without her right now, I don't know what I'd be doing. Probably something really unhealthy, or at least fattening.

So the whole point of that last paragraph is just me saying that I really wish I had a boyfriend again. And I'm completely done with guys that aren't at least 3 years older than me, haha. I think I've developed a bit of a crush on someone I've only met twice, oh well, go figure.

And the last random thought of the night: I need a new winter coat and boots...dang.

I'm going back to my knitting.

Fuck in the fire
And spread the ashes around.
