So. Here it is. My last day NOT living in St. Johns.
I'm not feeling anything incredible, to be honest. I was supposed to do something with Jillian tonight, since my cousins are both out, but that seems to have fell through. Sometime the weekend, perhaps Saturday, we'll do somehting.
I'm in a bit of a spot. On one hand I'm feeling a sense of duty, or something to the CB crowd that I'm living with, but I also feel like I desperately need to get into contact with some friends from St. Johns. I wouldn't mind [scratch that, I'd LOVE to] do something with all them, maybe even introduce CB crowd to SJ crowd, but I'm not sure how the family'll take that. The parents of all three families will be around, and I don't want to make them feel like we've dumped them. Maybe it's best if I just go with St. Johns kids? But then what's mom going to do? An akward spot.
Zack won't be as hard to get into contact with as I had expected, seeming as several mutual friends abound. Also, contacting Brad won't be difficult, so I'm already feeling like I've broken in to St. Johns.
The bus route I'm looking at right now goes right past my new house, to Water Street, the University, and Avalon Mall. Everywhere I was/am excited to go. I've done the math on my money, and I'm not going to have to live as much like a monk as I had feared.
I've got books for three of my subjects. Physics I'm getting tomorrow, and Object Oriented Programming doesn't have a textbook or anything listed yet. I can't wait to do German.
I'm getting giddy.
Tomorrow can't come fast enough.

Corrugated Life
So my entire life right now seems to be represented by Corrugated Cardboard. Everything I'm looking to bring to St. Johns is in a box, except for my computer, and stuff that's too big to fit into a box.
I got the CD yesterday that I'd been waiting on for months. Veggie Rocks. Let me tell you, that listening to Rebecca St. James sing the Veggie Tales theme song, moved me. I was half disgusted, half delighted at the absurdity.
Favourite tracks, and artist's names:
I Love My Lips - Stevenson
In the Belly of the Whale - Newsboys¹
The Water Buffalo Song - Superchic[k]
I'm So Blue - Paul Coleman
The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything - Relient K²
I Can Be Your Friend - O.C. Supertones
His Cheeseburger - Tait³
1-Newsboys are actually coming to YC this year. From this song alone, I'm excited.
2-This song alone was the reason I decided to buy this CD. The song has lost it's shine, but it's still very fun.
3-Michael Tait (where the band gets the name from) played the Jesus character in "Hero! The Rock Opera." Hearing his voice singing a love song to a cheeseburger made me pee myself laughing.
I really have the urge to play some X Box 360 right now, but as I alluded to earlier, it's packed up with everything else. I'll have to wait until Friday. In the meantime, flashgames will have to tie me over.

Deleted Scenes: Grad Bio
As I was searching for bits of my life to put into boxes, I came across a scrap of paper, where Meagan had happily written me a Grad Bio. It didn't make the cut, but I thought I would post it here.
=-Clip-=
Thus far, Josh has lived by the motto, "Joshua Thomposn is cool." Josh's high school years have been characteried by world travels, exciting adventures with his super cool friend, Meagan, and failing his driving test twice [Editor's note: As far as the record is concerned, only once]. Thereason why Josh did not win the Govenor General's Award is that he does not study.
In conclusion, hot dogs, and cool whip, and Meagan White are cool.
=-Clip-=
Well, that clears everything up, doesn't it?

Personality Tests
I found this on Chris's blog. I love doing these things. I can't belive I don't do these more often.
I haven't seen this movie, but if this is me, than I probably should, eh?
I'm not sure about the "Sexual Options" thing (JFK was a pimp?!) but I've got no problems being related to this dude. I was sort of hoping to get Joseph Stalin though. EDIT: Wait, doesn't this conflict with the last one? In the movie one I seek to avoid danger, and on this one I don't shy away from risky behaviour? I guess they're fun, but inacurate.
Also, I hope to do one or two of these once I get in St. Johns. Even if I don't have an album that needs a cover. And Natale is so obviously very cool. I hope I have friends like you!

Wash
Has anybody heard how awesome Firefly is yet today? I was just reminded of my favourite line in all the series a minute ago.
A bit of background:
Wash is the snarky pilot of Serenety. Zoe is the 1st Mate, and Wash's wife. In the scene, the whole crew is discussing the possiblity of anothe character, River, being a sort of "psychic." Of course, Firefly is Science Fiction.
Wash: Psychic though? That sounds like something out of Science Fiction.
Zoe: You live in a space ship, dear.
Wash: ... So?
I think Wash might very well be my most favouritest character ... ever.

When Giant Robots Fight ...
So I did a bit of fantasy shopping there today. While ripping DVDs I remembered a pile of old TV shows that I love to watch. About giant robots, and the fighting of said robots.
To purchase legaly, all the DVDs I'm interested in, would cost $473.15. And that's American. Yikes.
I understand why people resort to piracy in these matters. It's virtually free, and you get what you want. Without some special features, perhaps, but you do still partake in the media. And what good stuff it is.
Ugh, things are made much worse with University. If I was staying home, I could afford to waste money on some DVDs here and there, especially if I was still working. But alas I'm not working, and not staying home. I really need to budget my money, because I've only got "X" dollars to spend between now and Christmas.
I need a "Get Rich Quick" plan ... Any ideas?

Dark Days In My Blogosphere
So I've been noticing a certain theme with blogs I've been reading lately. "Doom and Gloom."
This is understandable. People are leaving home. People are being fired for religious beliefs. People are in countries where Christians are pesecuted. People are undergoing big changes.
It's very easy to get down. Especially since my weather widget is telling me that it's only cloudy, while I hear the fall of raindrops. Not even my computer is honest with me.
So this is what I'm going to do. I might dance today. I'll make a complete fool of myself and dance. I'm going to see who's not working, get together, and perhaps we'll all dance. I'll leave my dining room, and do stuff.
What do I have to be happy for:
I'm going to be a student again. The best job on earth.
I'm going to learn about things that I enjoy. Languages, Computers, and Numbers.
I'm going to be somewhere new. It's going to be an adventure.
I'm going to meet new friends.
I'm going to have more people to sit down and watch. I am a people watcher.
I'm going to have like, 6 pizzareas within walking distance of my home. Gelato will be less than an hour's walk away!
I'm going to be in the same physics class as my cousin, Kayla! If you told me that as a child, I'd never have believed that I would sit in the same class as one of my idols!
I'm going to be in the same math class as my friend Meagan. Which means I'll have somebody to wake me up if my alarm breaks down again, and somebody to steal ... whoops 'Share', notes with!
There is a tonne more, but I'm now, just too happy to think of any more. I think I'm going to go do that dancing I was talking about =D
