Today, a bunch of us went to a Fantasia party. The highlight of which included playing with fleshlights and lots of awkward jokes between us because we're all immature little twats.
This morning went really well too, I must say. Details shall be scarce, but hey, it made me quite happy. :) God only knows what's going to happen tonight. (Probably nothing, haha.)
So, what else is new? I believe some point form is in order.
-Watched Zombieland again last night. Gosh darn, I love that movie.
-I'm going to be hitting up Indie Pop Night at the Capital for the first time on Saturday, I've heard some pretty sweet things about it, and I have great expectations :)
-The lady said something really stupid at the Fantasia Party today. She said that the Fleshlight would feel a bit weird because it was just brand new, wasn't washed, and would be a bit sticky. Once you wash it, it won't be sticky anymore. But....won't it just get sticky again after you use it? How counterproductive!!
-Writing a blog post and stretching it out when you really have nothing to talk about can be pretty brutal at times
-Balls
I think I'm done for now. Farethewell, Livejournal!
( PS, I am still, as of February 4, 2010, not upside down. :) )

For once in my life, I'm finally balls-ing up and going for it. None of that starting to make headway crap and then getting nervous and backing off, because where the hell has that ever got me?
Because, well, I really like her. And she at least seems to have some interest in me. Maybe more than that.
At the very least, I won't be sitting around, thinking "What If?". Not this time.
That's right, for once in his life, MacKenzie isn't pussying out. He's going for the goal. He's not afraid to crash and burn.
Hopefully this works out ♥
(PS, if you think this is about you, it probably isn't. I still love you to death, but I just can't wait around forever for something that obviously isn't working out. I'd like to think we're still close, but my love for you can't be any more than platonic if things are going like this, especially not when something like this comes along.)
((PPS, I wish nothing but the best for you and him.))

One of the most awesome things about the concert though, was just the overall atmosphere. Whoever did the lighting deserves a raise, because the light show was absolutely amazing. Or maybe I'm just easily impressed by that sort of stuff, but hey, it was great!
An Horse, the opening band was great too. I've heard a few songs by them before, but I never would have guessed how AWESOME they would be live! They were super nice, too, I went to see them after the show at the merch booth and talked to them for a bit, they signed my CD, and thanked me for buying a T-shirt from them before the show, too! (It's an amazing t-shirt I might add, it looks like this, but black with yellow designs). Great guys, I definitely hope to see them again before I die :)
Aside from that, life's been pretty decent. I'm fully back into the swing of things here at stu, and everything's just going swimmingly! It's really going to suck in a few months when I have to back home for the summertime, but hey, that just gives me more of an excuse to live it up, right?
And besides, I've been really stupid about things lately. I already promised myself earlier in the year that I wasn't afraid to crash anymore. Because, well, if you just wait around, sitting on your hands, nothing's going to happen, right? And well, y'now...telling somebody and finding out otherwise is waaaay better than never telling someone and wondering what if.
Rember that, now.

Winter break was fine, albiet boring. I worked most of it. I earned money, which has more or less been already spent by now. Haha, I should probably stop this impulse spending, but hey, I have a bunch of cool stuff now! :x
One of those things, however, were tickets to see Tegan and Sara at the Fredericton Playhouse! You may remember me blogging about entering a contest to win tickets for it at an earlier date (or maybe I didn't, but hell if I'm going back to check it), but unfortunately, not only did I not win the contest, the tickets literally sold out the morning of the second day. Never fear, however, there's always kind, generous scalpers on the internet! Soooo, tomorrow night, Meghan and I shall be seeing them live! To say I'm stoked is an understatement. This is only like, concert #4(?) for me, and it's most definitely going to be the one I have the most fun at. Hopefully Tegan and Sara don't get too creeped out when we take them to the Pita Pit afterwards...haha.
Aside from that, life's been good. Getting better, actually. The entire last week in general was sort of blah, but this week, I'm starting fresh. :) I'm going to put forth a new effort, be happier, and everything's going to work out great. So far, this week has been really uplifting, so that's a good start! It's sort of like the Beatles song "Getting Better", minus the whole part about beating your woman and keeping her away from all of the things that made her happy, of course.
Plus, that includes more blog posts, so, yeah. You'll see more of me. :)

Okay, so it looks like I lost that blog war. :x What can I say, I guess I'm just not as hardcore as Meghan. In my defense though, final exams and studying for them (or, to be more accurate, lack of studying for them) have kind of been dominating my time lately. Oh well, at the very least I'm keeping on track with once a week, so I can't complain. Now that I'm done my exams, I'll probably be a bit more active. Or maybe not. Depends on if there's anything interesting I plan on writing about. Pssh, with all the times I had in Fredericton, when is there not? ♥
Since there was such a large gap in the dates of the two exams I had to write, I ended up coming home early between them. Being home for the past couple of days really reminded me of how much I missed being here. It's not really much more than some small, cozy little country-ass town on the surface, but it's home. Aside from the last three months, I lived here for all of my life, and well, all of my family and pre-university friends are here. I have so many memories here, it's hard not to love it. It also sort of just has this little charm about it. Don't get me wrong, I definitely don't see myself living here forever, but I cant say that I don't love it. Harrington may be my current home, but to me, this'll always be home in my heart.
-----
I wrote that above part like 4 days ago and never finished. Might as well pick back up from where I left off, no? Tuesday was the day of my last exam, so I headed back down to Fredericton. Ironically enough, my little brother had a field trip to Fredericton that day, so Mom and him got a hotel room, giving me one last day to hang out with the remainder of my Fredericton friends. I was pretty stoked about that, especially considering a bunch of them left in the week-long period that I was home between exams. I showed up just in time to see Nathan, Kassi, and Kat off with Jonah and Greg, and then the entire day consisted of a Lord of the Rings marathon of all three movies (with a Human Sexuality exam in between.). In true Harrington style, when I got back from my Exam, Jonah and Greg had gotten drunk in the three hour span that I was gone. Oh, guys! Plus, I cant forget the whole trek down to Meghan's house to pick up the Chili she made / give her her box of chocolates for Christmas :) It really sucked to not see most of my friends before leaving, so it was really good to see the ones that I did.
Anyhow, so now I'm back home, and I'm really missing everybody. It's so crazy when looking back at it, just how much has happened in the roughly 3 and a half months I've been there. I guess I can attribute it to there being absolutely nothing to do in Miramichi. Regardless though, the last three months have been a pretty big damn ride. Some of the stuff's been written about in here, some of the other stuff hasn't. A bunch of it is probably going to be blogged about over the break as I get all nostalgic and stuff. I could probably sit down right now and write a super-extensive, in-depth post about the last three months, but who has the time and/or patience for that? Certainly not this guy! (Actually I'm just lazy, sssh... :x)
You know, I just realized my knack for writing a whole lot in these things without actually saying jack squat, haha.
In other news, it's taken me awhile, but I think I've grown addicted to Twitter. Look at it this way. I made my twitter account on May 5th, 2009. It took me 6 months and 10 days, November 15th, 2009 to reach 100 tweets. Today, just roughly 45 days later, I hit my 200th. And roughly 30-40 of those tweets were made in the last week. Yikes!
In a way though, I love twitter because I can post random little snippets and stuff that wouldn't necessarily work in the context of a blog. Perhaps that says something about my attention span sometimes, who knows man. Then again, Tumblr does look like it's right up my alley. I may have to play around with that sometime. Maybe. I probably will. I'll probably enjoy it. Like I said... who knows, maaaaaaan.
I have a bunch of random thoughts on my mind now, so the rest of this entry's probably going to jump around a bit. You've been warned. It's December 20th, my dad's birthday. Where the heck has the time gone? In just 5 short days, it'll be Christmas. Is it bad that it didn't really sink in until I realized how close it was to Dad's birthday? A lot of it probably has to do with more or less being in Fredericton until the 16th, but hey.
So, this year it looks like I'm growing out the Christmastime hobo beard again. I swear to god, I never plan out these things! This coupled with the fact that I had just realized that I haven't done the obligatory "bathroom mirror picture w/new phone" thing that all those hipster kids seem to be doing nowadays with my Palm Pre yet, seemed like an ample reason to well...take my obligatory mirror pic showcasing said Christmas Hobo beard's progress thus far. I quickly learned two things.
1) It's pretty damn hard to take mirror pictures without looking completely stunned (All attempts to combat this pretty much failed)
2) Gosh darn, my hair's getting pretty long
. ( Seriously, I look totally stunned guys )
Ah well. Are we done here? I think we might be. Until next time!
Later gators.

collegemeghan and I now have no reason to update this thing a bit more often!! You want a blog war, you got it! (Or not, haha. At the very least I'll be updating more :x)It finally snowed last night!! I'm not talking the crappy "oh hey I'm gonna spit flurries for an hour and then wash it all away with rain" type of snow like we had twice before, I'm talking the "oh my god, it's our first real snow!!" type. In the span of a few hours, the campus turned from a barren, dead wasteland to winter wonderland, and I'm absoutely loving it. In fact, I think I'll steal some pictures from facebook because I almost feel like I have a need to share St. Thomas University in the wintertime with the world. I'll probably do one huuuuge picture post sometime, but for now, here's one.
( Photo after the cut... )
I know a few people don't really like the snow, but personally, seeing it last night made me the happiest I've been in a long time. I absolutely love December, (and I know I sound incredibly cheesy and sappy in saying this), but it's one of my most favorite times of the year, what with all of the happiness, love, and beauty associated with it. After that snowfall, it now finally feels like December, and I love it. :)
Aside from the whole snow thing, life in General has been pretty awesome lately. The only thing that's sort of weighing it down is the whole end of term stress that comes from Essays and Exams and shit like that, but aside from that, everything's been just fan-dabi-dozi!! (No, I don't know where the fuck that word came from, but I hear it all the time and I'd like to know!!)
That's it for tonight I suppose. More to come tomorrow!

First off, don't confuse this as me saying "I'm unhappy with life in general right now", because that couldn't be farther from the truth. In fact, I'm definitely happier than I've been in a long time, and certainly happier than I've been in the recent past. I have an AMAZING group of friends (who, if you haven't already gathered from any of my other posts, I absolutely love to death!), I've come to a bunch of realizations about myself and the world around me, and I'm no longer as introverted as I once was (more on that in the next entry, actually), I'm living in probably one of the most amazing cities ever (well, by New Brunswick standards, but I still ♥ it), and I have so much freedom now, in multiple senses of the word.
It's just...ugh, it's stupid, but I feel so blah lately. It kind of sucks, because I felt like this for awhile around midterm season, but then I was doing so well afterwards. I guess it's just the fact that when I'm alone, that gives me time to think about stuff, and that's not necessarily a good thing. Hey, that's not really a problem though, I'll just go hang out with friends, talk to them, talk to someone, whatever. Never fails to make me happy. It'd just be pretty cool if I could be happier overall, y'now?
The other day on SocialInterview, a friend of mine mentioned that she'd never seen me mad. That combined with another friend tagging me as the "always happy" one in one of those tag your friend picture things made me think a bit, and really, I can't remember ever getting legit angry since coming here. Save for one or two days in mid-late september, of course, but that was at a time where I was pretty much raging to myself for various reasons.
It gets me thinking though, is the always happy image I project just a facade? It's hard to say. I mean, I know I'm having a good time and all, but it's not like I'm always as happy as I appear. Huh. Who knows. To be honest, it's not like it really matters. I can still be myself regardless. You're in a bad mood, I can make you laugh, no big deal. It's not so much about my happiness than yours.
This is nothing new. I've been this way for years now. Go ahead and vent your problems to me. I don't mind helping you. In fact, its something I've always loved to do. Honest. Nevermind the fact that I have my own problems, but hey. I make someone else feel better, my work is done. I'm content. Pay it forward sort of dealie, who knows.
That's just who I am, I suppose. One who selflessly gives and tries to spread the happiness, even if I'm not always happy myself...perhaps that's how I get by. Who knows, maan.
Oh well, rant over. Regular blog entries coming soon.

The past weekend was a ride, to say the least. Post coming soon.
Wooooow. November 1st already. You know what that means? In four more days, We'll have been here for two months now. In five weeks, we'll be finished with classes for winter break. Where the hell has the time gone?
This was such a quiet weekend, but it was pretty nice at the same time. Lots of hanging out, lots of watching movies, lots of heart-to-heart conversations, and of course lots of halloween-related stuff. I think tonight's going to be round 2 of our Sunday night midnight movie nights, most likely with Jurrasic Park 3 to finish up the trilogy, and potentially something else if we all decide not to just fuck off and get to bed. Actually, sleep would probably be a somewhat decent idea, my sleep pattern's all fucked up from the past week. Who knows, maaaaaan.
I know in my last post I quite boldly proclaimed life was awesome, and even though that post was partially just messing around with my friends (one of which laughed at me for having a livejournal and asked me if it's where I project all of my hurt feelings onto it. Fuck you Nathan, haha), right now, it truly is. It's not perfect, mind you, and it could probably be better in some regards (feeling like you really missed the boat kind of sucks, but hey, there's other fish in the sea), but overall, I'm happy. Do I regret things? Yeah. I regret not jumping on said opportunities when I had the chance, I regret being such a procrastinator this semester, and I regret somewhat leading certain people on (though I'm sure I'd regret it even more if I ended up getting with them like they wanted, lol :x), but hey.
NaNoWriMo started this morning! I'm going to be running with this and see just how far I can go with it. I'm not sure if I'll make the 50k this year, but hey, it'll get me writing again, and that's always a fun little way to pass the time. You'll probably be hearing about it quite a lot here, so don't get too sketched out if I start ranting about some pseudo-Orwellian bullshit that hardly makes any sense. (Or, even less sense than usual by this journal's standards)
I suppose that's all for now. Farewell, LJ.

First off, some assholes trashed the dorm last night. I'm not talking "oh, getting drunk at the house party and tearing down posters/breaking a toilet" type vandalism, some motherfuckers punched holes in the ceiling of the second floor lounge, tearing down a majority of the ceiling tiles and breaking a bunch more, smashed holes in the light fixtures on various floors, set off the fire extinguisher in the main stairwell (this is the second time that's happened actually, the first time one of the janitors had to be sent to the hospital), and stole another fire extinguisher, emptied it, and left it lying in the middle of the street a few blocks away. Bear in mind this all went down at around 2:30-3 in the morning, long after the party that night died down, and all of the outsiders had to leave.
Don't get me wrong, I love living here in Harrington, but the whole stigma of "we're all one big raider family" has really started to wear thin in the past while, and this situation's really been a huge catalyst in a lot of people showing their true colors. Something tells me this bullshit drama isn't over yet, and that sucks, because quite frankly, the whole thing is nothing but stupid, asinine, and childish.
Anyway, moving on, I've come to a bunch of realizations about my life this weekend. I'm getting kind of sleepy right now, so I'm not going to be going too in depth (though elaboration might come in a future blog, who knows man), but basically, this weekend, in a nutshell, I figured out that:
- On the other hand, that doesn't mean I'm anti relationship right now. :x Whatever happens, happens, y'now?
- Between friends and potential love interests that don't necessarily seem to be going anywhere, go for friends. Everytime.
- I love my group of friends more than anything ♥
- I've learned to stop worrying about stupid things that're beyond my control
- I've learned to move on and not care about a couple of specific things in my past.
- I've reaffirmed my love for long nights where everyone's just chilling out and enjoying the atmosphere and company of others
- I think I've become more in touch with my artistic side than ever, and I'm loving it
Tomorrow (well, today I guess...whenever I wake up) is going to be a busy day, ugh. Have I ever mentioned how much I dislike essay writing?
Aaaaand, just for the sake of ending on a positive note:
...actually I got nothin'. I'm happy with myself? That's positive :)

- You Say Party! We Say Die! is totally playing at the Capital on Sunday night. And I am (most likely) totally going to be there. Awesome :D
- Speaking of which, I really need to get out and check more of the local music scene. I've always told myself since coming here that I've wanted to, but aside from the welcome week concert (which was great, by the way), I've seen a grand total of 0 shows since I got here, and that's a damn shame. I really have no excuse either, because The Capital sends me updates every week, not to mention that there's live entertainment just about everywhere around here. At least some of it has to be good.
- Don't you just hate it when people just can't seem to get the point? Yes, I can read you like a book. No, I don't like you as much as you like me. I don't have feelings for you in that way. Nothing's going to happen between us. That "date" we went on was a bit fun yes, but we're never going to be any more than friends. I feel nothing for you. And for the love of god, if I suddenly stop talking on MSN, take the hint! I probably got bored with the conversation and don't wish to parttake in it anymore!
- Okay that last message just made me sound like a bit of a dick. :x oh well, gotta vent somewhere. Better than doing it to their face in the middle of the cafeteria, y'now?
- You know, I've really started to notice a habit with my blogging. Half of the time I usually end up writing a bit, switching to another tab for awhile, then coming back like half an hour later, remembering I was typing up an entry, and then either typing up some more or just saying "screw it man" and hitting post entry. To put it into perspective, I started this entry at 12:18. I probably wrote the above paragraph around half an hour before I came back and wrote this one. It's 2:00 now.
Oh well, I guess I'm done for now. Back to working on my Dresden Dolls paper for Human Sexuality.

I know this seems to be a recurring subject in this journal, but the weekend was absolutely amazing. I'm really starting to love being here more and more as time goes on. I can probably attribute that to me coming out of my shell quite a bit since I came here. I've been meeting a lot of new people, a lot of new awesome people for that matter, and I've been having a lot of awesome times with them.
All I can really say is that I love all of my friends. All of them. You're all a bunch of awesome, stand-up people guys and gals, you know that? ♥
Now that I got that out of the way, here's some random notes:
-You know what came on the radio the other day? Motherfuckin' Prozzak. This was probably one of the best radio moments ever. Everybody was like "OH SHIT I REMEMBER THIS SONG" and we all went on one amazing nostalgia trip. I ended up downloading all the albums last night and I've been listening to them all morning. Oh god, the nostallllgia. :x It's like I'm really 9/10 years old again. Co-incidentally, I never realized how awesome they were outside of their singles back then. I especially like "Be As", I remember hearing that all the time as a kid but the message was sort of over my head at the time, seeing as I wasn't exactly one to analyze songs at that age.
-I ended up deciding against Captain Hammer for halloween this year. Don't get me wrong, I still completely plan on buying the shirt (and possibly the doctor who goggles too :x I'm such a dork), but I doubt it'll be in by Halloween, and I'm kind of broke at the moment anyway. I think the new plan is that a bunch of us are all going as different The Lonely Island songs, which should be great. If not, hey, that just gives me an excuse to travel to Value Village :D
-I really don't have much to say anymore. I should probably be getting back to schoolwork.
I love life ♥

life is good man
Nothing much has been going on with my life lately. It's been a pretty slow week. Between classes, friends, and a lot of long nights spent writing, I've more or less just been waiting for Friday to come. I'm pretty stoked to go home for thanksgiving. I've got a bunch of things at home that need to be sorted out. (Well, that and my aunt makes the most amazing Turkey Dinner ever ♥)
I've been super hooked on the new Vampire Weekend single for the past few days. They released it for free download on their website a couple of days ago, and I've been listening to it quite a bit since. I think it's safe to say that their new album is probably one of the things I'm most anticipating in the coming months, along with Left 4 Dead 2, Tegan and Sara at the Playhouse (oh how I wish I won those tickets :x), Halloween, Lego Rock Band (lol) and NaNoWriMo.
It's been a month already. Time really has been flying by, hasn't it?
