I remembered a classic Ness moment!

Ness: I really don’t like that green guy from Shrek. I can’t remember his name.
Maki: You mean Shrek?
Ness: Yeah, him.

Sometimes when I need a good laugh I think back to some classic lines from conversations I’ve had with friends. I want to make a record of them so that I won’t forget them over time. Here is the start of my record keeping. I don’t really care if you don’t find them funny. This post is for me. =P

1. On the bus with Laura after going for dinner. We went to al all you can eat sushi restaurant and I was SO full and had to pee really badly while trying not to wet myself on the VERY bumpy ride home.

Laura: If you scrunch up your lips tightly and make an ‘O’ it looks like a butthole.
Me: *trying not to pass out from bladder cramps*
Me: I’m not familiar with buttholes.

-later on, on the busride-
Laura: *telling me a story*
Some guy: *leans over to pull the stop string to get off the bus*
Laura: *looks at me* That guy’s dick just hit me

2. Some night at Jackie’s house either drinking or studying.

Me: I remember watching The Labyrinth as a kid and thinking the girl was perfect for the David Bowe character. Then when I watched it again in high school I realized how wrong that would have been.
Chris: What was it about?
Me: *gives him a synopsis*
Jackie: The Labyrinth was all about David Bowe and his bulge.

Oh man, I need to remember some classic ones from living with my previous roomies, especially ones with Ness. We all had some very classic moments with her.

I’m sitting next to my open window listening to the rain. It’s very soothing. When I look out, all I can see are the hundreds of leaves still on the branches of a rather tall maple tree. It’s my one source of strength getting me through my new life. For some reason, when I look out at this tree I feel closer to God. I have no idea why. When Jack came up this past weekend to spend time with me, I rearranged the pillows on my bed so that we could lie from the footboard to the headboard. That way we could lie there together looking out the window at the tree. He didn’t understand why I thought it was amazing. I told him that when we were married and lived together I wanted to put our bed facing the window so that we could lie in it on Saturday mornings and look out at the trees. He didn’t think that was so amazing either. I didn’t tell him the God part.

In all honesty the past few weeks have been tough. Aside from the workload from school, adjusting to a new house with new roommates and not many friends around is hard. I miss my old house and roommates terribly. I miss being able to go to Vanessa’s room and watch useless clips/dramas/movies all day. I miss going grocery shopping with Maki and cooking something for dinner with her. I miss hearing Megs say “I love you too” at the end of her phone calls with her parents. I miss Sarah saying “I’m so excited” at the end of every story she tells us. It’s not that I want to live in the past, but it’s hard to move on with such fond memories still so close by. My new roommates aren’t that bad, but it’s just not the same. And life just isn’t as enjoyable without the ones I love.

I’m pretty sure it was Jung who coined the practice of having patients sit on a chair while they talked to him. Anyway, I took a nap today since I didn’t get much sleep due to a stupid book review I had to finish. During my laze period I was thinking about all the people that care about me. I thought about my high school friends who always keep in contact with me and invite me out whenever I go back home. They have bought me Christmas presents some years when I didn’t have time to get them anything. They even invite me to their birthday gatherings and social outings during the year even though it is highly unlikely that I will be able to attend.

I’m taking a course this term called Men and Masculinities. I attended my first class yesterday and I was really impressed. Usually in courses I have some input for discussions and such. But this course offers such intriguing perspectives that are so foreign to me. Firstly because I’m a female and socialized to be a woman, and secondly because the men in my life are limited and break many of the norms of Canadian masculinity. My father can be pretty traditional and fits into many categories, but Jack is really different from many things. I think I will really enjoy the course just because it may allow me to learn more about men since so much of the sociology I have dealt with focuses on women. Maybe I will find that Jack is more masculine than I think. =P
