When You Wish Upon A Star

Hey Everyone!

So here's my post for the past two days.

Sunday I woke up at 11AM and did my usual shower stuff and got ready to head to London for my usual busy Sundays.

My parents and I headed to London at 1PM and made it there by 2PM. I watched television a little bit and then headed to Fashion Show practice which went from 3:30-6:30PM and I worked on the posters for the Fashion Show as the coordinator called me Saturday night asking me to help with the posters. I also apparently have more or less made my walk a heck of a lot better than it use to be according to the coordinator.

After was our long ass play practice that lasted till 11PM. We did two run throughs and then we headed home. I talked to Lauren about how miffed I was at how a certain incident happened and I don't care to really discuss it on here because A: the directors already know about it, and B: the person it involves may be reading this. Though I kept bringing it up a couple times as we walked back to her house, which was just my autism acting up.

Today on the other hand, I woke up at 12PM and then showered. I then headed to my Moore's fitting for the fashion show which went really well, and the coordinator thanked me for always being at practices and always being faithful and cooperative. I told her it was no problem, and it was just a part of my nature.

After this I headed to Masonville and did a couple things around there and finally headed home. I headed to speech at 6:30PM and listened to a couple more speeches, headed to Christina's Pub and then headed home to work on my paper which is what I'm doing now. I hope everyone's doing great!

I'll Always Remember, It Was Late Afternoon

Hey Guys,
I woke up this morning (Saturday) at 11:30AM, and did my usual shower stuff. I then headed out at 1PM to pick up Chris. We went to Wendy's for lunch then back to my house and watched the ending of Chuck and Larry, and also started watching Wall-E. I then took him back home at 3PM and then headed to Wal-Mart.

I had to look for tights at Wal-Mart as I needed them for the play as a pawn. I then headed over to EB Games and bought a game since my burned copy was no longer working. I finally headed back home. My grandfather was home which was really nice and we had my favourite meal, mashed potatoes and chicken. I then helped take Gramps back home as he has mobility issues. I then came back and played Final Fantasy X and beat it.

Autism-wise, I think the only thing happened was my lingering on things as always. I'm sorry this post is so horrid, I'm really not here today as it was a long day. But hopefully my next post will be okay.

Night all!

Here we are, so far from where we started

Hey Everyone!

I got up about 11:30AM today thinking I'd hit up my Speech professor's performance workshop, but I wound up dozing off again until 1:00PM. At 1PM this person came to see my friend's house again, but at least this time it wasn't the Varsity Rentals who seem to have no manners whatsoever. The guy seemed nice, but it didn't really matter since I probably wouldn't be living with my friend next year as I found another friend has a place even closer to King's that I can stay at when I need to.

After this I had my usual shower and then headed over to King's for my play practice. It went really well as we said it's probably about a level 8 out of 10 at the moment. Luckily we still have a few more practices before it's showtime, so I'm sure it'll be at a ten by then.

Afterwords I returned to my friend's place, grabbed my bag, and my Dad picked me up to take me back to St. Thomas until I have to come back Sunday for play, fashion show, and Students Council.

Autism-wise, I'd say the only thing that happened was I acted a little goofy at the beginning of play rehearsal and that was just because my mind was out of it from everything that was going on with the play. I eventually settled in, but I had been saying some random stuff that was a bit out of character for me.

That's all for today!
Night all!

Looking Through Your Eyes

Hey Everyone!

So I woke up at 1:00PM and watched MadTV. I then had my shower and everything else and headed to class.

Psych of Work was boring as always, and then I headed out to Huron College for my Soph Carousel. Sophs are the people who help integrate the First-Year students into life at my university. So we then basically did different activities. This included problem-solving, cheer-making, values judgment, and just leadership activities. It was all a lot of time even if it did take four hours.

I then headed back to King's for King's Players, and headed back home after words.

Autism-wise still another sticking to this whole schedule :P of writing my blog.

Night all,
Sean

You're A Superstar

Hey Everyone!

So I woke up at 12PM and checked my e-mail, finding out I had to meet with the VP of Operations for the Students Council as I had to get some documents and pictures and such for the website at 1:30PM.

I had my usual shower and such, then got dressed and watched some television. I then headed out and spoke with the VP and went back home. I then just watched television and studied a bit more.

I headed to my Research Methods course where I was bored out of my mind this time. While the lab was just as bad sadly, as all we learned was citing things for our Literature Review part of our project. Basically it was like "I KNOW HOW TO CITE!" so it was quite ridiculous.

I finally came home, and here we are.

Autism-wise, just the structure thing again.

That's it for tonight!
Sean

Some say time is a river flowing through time, but time is an ocean in a storm

Hey Everyone!

So I woke up at 2PM and watched some television. I also studied a bit for my final clinical Psychology exam before the actual final in April. I then took my usual shower and such and got ready for class.

I headed to the King's library to print off my assignment for Music, then got a quick Timmies but missed the King's bus by five seconds. It left just as I was walking towards it so I wound up having to walk to Talbot College where my class was.

Music was fine, boring because all we learned was about diphthongs and all that lovely boring part of music.

When we finally got out at 10PM I had to wait a while for the bus but finally got home at 10:30PM. I then got back to studying again.

Autism-wise, I think the only part that happened was...actually I can't believe I'm saying this but I don't think anything happened with my autism aside from following my usual structure for my blog. That's basically it...so it was a really good day for me I guess.

That's all tonight!

Empire State of Mind

Hey Everyone!

So I got woken up at about 7AM and my parents and I headed to London since I had school today and we needed to get me to London for it. I went to bed when I got to my friend's place, and then woke up around 12PM.

I worked on my speech for class on Universities and Colleges. I then headed over to Lauren's to walk to class and we chatted on our way just about how our Reading Weeks' went, and then had class.

My speech went fine, it was a dull topic but it still communicated the message.

After speech, Lauren, myself and our friend John headed to Christina's for a late dinner. It was fine and we just chatted about random things like relationships and other topics.

Autism-wise, I think the only thing that got me was I couldn't let go of some topics while talking with Lauren and John, so I did get internally frustrated (by this I mean I was screaming inside 'let me talk' but outside I more just ruffled my hair and sighed). But again it's just a case where I wanted to finish my point but I wasn't able to as they were talking because it would've been rude.

That's all for tonight!
Sean

Be Prepared

Hey Everyone!

Sorry about the late post again. I wound up going to bed just after 12AM as I had to get up really early to get to London and miss the storm that came in. Let me tell you, it's a whole LOT of snow that's going to be falling.

Using "Yesterday" I guess is how I'll do this post since it is Monday now. Anyway yesterday I woke about 7:45 or 8AM, I'm not really sure, but I got up and did my usual shower and teeth thing. My parents and I then headed to Dunn's for breakfast again before we headed back to the hotel, packed up our stuff in the car and started our trip back from Ottawa.

We got back from Ottawa to find that our heat in the house had been shut off because it had decided to break down. So now the heat was off meaning the house was really cold, resulting in us having to turn on the fire, use our space heater and also borrow a heater from my brother Troy just to try and warm up downstairs and my parents room. It should be fixed today but yesterday the technician told us he was going to have to order a part in order to get it fixed though they should be able to do it today so at least when I return home Friday we'll have heat again.

I basically then concluded my day with Housewives and Brothers & Sisters and then played Final Fantasy X for a short time before going to bed.

Autism-wise, I think the only thing that happened was that while speaking to my mom about a speech that is due today, I may have used the wrong tone and came off arrogant. I didn't mean to obviously, but I apparently did.

That's all for today!
Sean

Remember, Remember

Hey Everyone!

I hope you're all doing well and having a great week! I woke up around 10:30AM and did my shower and usual stuff. My parents and I then headed to Dunn's restaurant for breakfast and had a Belgian Waffle which was quite nice.

After this we headed back to the hotel for a short time and then headed to my sister's for my niece's birthday party. I spent time with the babies for about two hours and then headed downstairs when the party started getting overwhelming for me. It was a part of my autism, because I was getting overstimulated from the crying, and amount of people, and screaming and everything so I knew I had to go to a quiet area. I nearly fell asleep in the basement as a result :P.

After the party my parents and I headed back to the hotel, and while at first I wanted to go skating I decided not to because I was just tired from the party so instead I ordered room service, ordered 2012 on the tv, and just did that for the night and now here I am.

Autism-wise I already stated what happened :P so night all!
Sean

Eeeeeek

Hey Everyone!

I am so sorry I didn't post yesterday and haven't edited Wednesday's post. I'll get on that too. Basically I haven't had any actual internet until today. I had my blackberry but do you know how hard it is to write a blog on a Blackberry? Pretty annoying frankly.

So anyway, Thursday my parents and I got up from our hotel in Cobourg and headed the rest of the way in Ottawa. I fell asleep halfway as my bed was hard as a rock in the hotel and I woke up five times because of it. I seriously cannot sleep on a hard bed, it's just WAY too uncomfortable.

After the falling asleep we arrived in Ottawa around 1:30PM and reached my sister Tara's house. It was my niece's birthday today (Friday) but we arrived early and I got a tour of their house and then played with Isla a bit. She's so adorable and I definitely cannot wait to have kids, though I still will have to anyway since I'm still in school and everything :P.

Anyway, I decided to sleep in the basement but luckily had digital cable (many many channels, like satellite but different since it doesn't lose signal if the satellite goes out).

Today I woke up around 11AM and headed upstairs and had breakfast. I then watched some more television and played with Isla up until 3PM when my parents and I decided to head for our hotel.

We got to our hotel around 4PM which was check-in time and then checked into our room. It's quite a nice suite and has a nice view too. My parents and I then headed out to see Winterlude with many ice sculptures, and I tried my first Beaver Tail (bread covered in cinnamon and sugar) and it was quite good. Then I got room service and now I'm here.

Autism-wise I think only thing that I realized happened in the past two days were some points where I was rambling way too much to my parents and my sister and I did catch myself this time simply because I knew it would happen due to my being in a new environment.

That's all tonight!

The Breaking Glaciers

Hey Everyone!

Hey Everyone!

I am so sorry I didn't post Wednesday. Basically I haven't had any actual internet. I had my blackberry but do you know how hard it is to write a blog on a Blackberry? Pretty annoying frankly.

Wednesday was pretty dull and consisted of video games and then us leaving for Ottawa around 3:30PM. We traveled for about 2 1/2 hours and then had dinner at Dairy Queen that we found in Bowmanville wherever the heck Bowmanville is :P.

Following this, we drove to Cobourg and stopped at a Best Western as my Mom wanted to stop due to her back. We then checked in, got into our room and just watched American Idol and went to bed. It was that short of a day.

Autism-wise, again just a lot of rambling, etc. Sorry this post sucks so bad.

Night all
Sean

I Believe

Hey Everyone!

So I woke up around 1PM and did my usual getting ready. I played Final Fantasy X until 4PM then I had to take Chris out. We headed to Taco Bell this time, and then headed to Pinafore followed by home. When we got home we watched most of what was left of Chuck and Larry from the previous day, and then took Chris home.

When I got home my parents had made Mac and Cheese which is good since my Dad was going out to play poker and I had been wondering what Mom would like to do for dinner but I guess that solved that problem. I went back to playing Final Fantasy X and packed some stuff since I was going to Ottawa the next day for my niece Isla's first birthday. I then just went back to playing FFX.

Autism-wise I think the only thing that really happened was simply my talking too much about Ottawa and having my parents tell me to cut it short again. This seems to always be my biggest problem really with my autism.

Anyway that's all for tonight.

Thanks all!
Sean

Post-Valentine's Day

Hey Everyone!

So today was a relatively laid-back day once more. I got up around 1PM, had my shower, and my teeth brushing and all that. I then played Final Fantasy X till around 3:50PM before heading off to work with Chris.

I took Chris to Wendy's, which was completely empty because of Family Day here in Ontario. I then took him to Rogers Video as I wanted to see if they had any power cords for my Blackberry because I had forgotten mine at my friend's place. They did so I bought that, then headed to Pinafore and then home. When we got home, Chris and I watched I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, and then I took him home.

When I got back home, my parents and I went and saw Valentine's Day which was a freaking HILARIOUS film. One of the best comedies I'd seen in a while. Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner were SOOOOO dorky in the film it was hilarious. There were also a lot of really funny parts with Jennifer Garner and even Jamie Foxx :P. Then I headed home after the movie and here I am.

Autism-wise, I once again talked about the play too much and my parents had to tell me to shorten it up again as they got the basic nature and didn't need to hear me going on and on about one small thing.

Anyway, that's all for today!
Night Everyone!

Canada Wins Gold

Hey Everyone!

So I woke up around 8:00 AM as I had to hit the Walk-In clinic to see if I had pink-eye. I did my usual getting ready then headed to the clinic where I waited about 45 minutes before a doctor would see me. Apparently even at 9AM on a Sunday morning, people decide to come in for appointments...go figure. Anyway, I returned home and made some french toast for breakfast followed by watching television and playing some video games for a while.

Around 1PM I called Chris's mother just to inform her I wouldn't be in as obviously neither myself nor her would want me to give Chris pink-eye. I then went back to playing FFX.

My parents came home from their brief day in Toronto, and I wound up talking too much about this play I'm in for King's. This was where my autism came into play because rather than giving my parents the basic knowledge, I kept talking and talking until my Mom told me to cut it short.

Other than that, it was a quiet day for me.
Night all!

This is for Yesterday

Hey Everyone,

Sorry again for not posting yesterday. It had been a rough night dealing with pink eye of all things so I went to bed early. Yesterday I had gotten up at 10AM, got ready, then headed out to take Chris to Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. It was AWESOME, a really great movie, not Avatar, but still a great film.

After work I headed home where my eye had started getting irritated. I just basically played video games for a majority of the day, Final Fantasy X to be precise. Around 5PM my grandfather had come over and we had dinner, teriyaki steak and mashed potatoes for me which were lovely. After that I then just played more video games as with my eye I didn't really want to do anything but play.

Autism-wise I think it was just another case of me lingering on a topic I was talking about to my mom and I had to cut it short.

I got to bed around 12:30AM, earliest I'd gotten to bed in a long time, and that's basically it. Talk to you later tonight for my next post everyone. And Happy Valentine's Day.

Best Days of Your Life

Hey Everyone!

I woke up today about 12:30PM and had my usual shower and such. I then played some True Crime New York City until 1:45PM then headed to my hair appointment. I was originally going to get my highlights redone but the hair stylist said it looked great as it was so I just got a trim.

I got back home around 2:45PM and played some more True Crime until I had to leave for work with Chris.

I picked Chris up at 4:05PM and we drove out to my home office of work where I had to drop off my pay stub so I can still get paid for the month. We then headed to Wendy's for dinner and off to Pinafore Park before heading to Tim Horton's and home.

When I got home I played some more True Crime, baked a Valentine's cake, and then played Final Fantasy X.

Autism-wise, I think the only thing that happened was I obsessed (no not OCD, just my not being able to stay off a topic) about the fact that Tim's gave me a chocolate dip donut when I asked for a vanilla dip, and what's more, they've replaced it with the "Canada Donut". I'm all for Canada Olympic Pride, but really, replace my favourite donut? :(

Anyway, that's all for tonight!

Whip It

Hey Everyone!

I woke up about 2PM, yes 2PM, and got ready for class. I headed to Psych of Organizations at 3:30PM and met Lauren in class then listened to another relatively boring lecture as is with this course.

I headed back to my friend's place and waited for my Dad to pick me up to take me home for Reading Week. I just watched some television while I waited for my Dad, then headed home at 7PM. We stopped off at Empire Theatres to get some nachos for my Mom, then stopped at Mac's convenience store for a slushie and then headed home.

It's really nice being home and I guess the only autism-related thing that I went through was that I couldn't get off the topic of career advice I got from my career counselor at school. I then finished off by watching Whip It and now am watching T.V. again.

That's basically it. Sorry for another short post.
Sean

Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours

Hey Everyone!

I was up a lot of the night and headed over to King's for some career advice at about 10AM. I then grabbed some breakfast from the cafeteria and headed home. I took a nap around 12PM till close to 4:30PM and got ready to go out as my exam was at 5:30PM.

I headed to my Research exam at 5:30PM and I think I did fairly well, but it'll just be a matter of waiting to see how I did.

I then came home and am now just relaxing, enjoying the night as now I don't have an exam again until mid March.

Autism-wise, it was just a case of over-stimulation from television and computer. As a result, I was up for most of the night because my brain couldn't shut off for the night.

Sorry for the short post!
Sean

Tonight, Tonight

Hey Everyone!

So I woke up at 12PM briefly when my parents came to drop off some boots due to the immense amount of snow that was going to be coming our way today and tomorrow.

I then woke up again at about 3PM and got ready for class. I then headed to class at 3:30 which was clinical and we just learned about Interviews and related topics.

Following class I headed up to Talbot College so as to get my personal reflection of my solo from last week done. Turns out my solo was better than I had originally thought. So I gave myself a relatively good mark.

After class I headed home and have just been studying for my Research midterm which is tomorrow. I think I'm ready but that doesn't make me any less nervous.

Autism-wise I think the only thing that happened was talking more than needed on the phone to my mother, saying more than I needed to say as usual.

That's all!
Sean

Sorry for Being Sorry

Hey Everyone!

So I didn't do my post yesterday due to exhaustion on my part. I had woken up at 8AM on Sunday and headed to final dress rehearsal at the UCC at 9AM for the play. I then headed back to the house for a short time until the Fashion Show shoot which I still felt odd about being in a tank top as I'm not like super fit or anything. After that I had students council which was the USC Presidential debate, and then finally followed dby a LONG LONG LONG play practice. The directors have decided to make practice 6:30-11 now which is freaking ridiculous no matter how much practice they thing we need, it is still completely ridiculous.

Today on the other hand, I woke at 12PM and quickly went to Kings to do some business that needed...doing, and then headed back home for a bit. At 2:30PM my parents and I went out shopping and had dinner, and then just headed back home. Around 6:30PM I headed to speech class which I'll be doing my speech on the Monday after reading week. Then at 8:30PM I headed to the UCC as it was time for the production. We went on at 10PM and it went wonderfully, and now I'm home and just relaxing after a good day's work.

I only had autism related things when I was with my parents and kept talking despite the fact I knew I could of just cut it short. But oh well.

That's all for today!
Sean

Improv Insanity

Hey Everyone!

I woke up at 12PM and had my usual shower and then hopped a cab to Masonville as I had to pick up a wife beater shirt for the Fashion Show photo shoot tomorrow. I then got my hair cut too for the same reason and then hopped a cab back to the UCC for play rehearsal.

When I got to the UCC, play rehearsal went really well. I actually have all my lines memorized I now just need to work on not sounding like a stand up comic but sounding like I'm joking with a friend.

Following this, one of my co-stars Joel drove me home and we discussed the annoying elections of the University Students Council President election. I don't really know why this whole thing annoys me, but probably because each UWO President generally has never works on producing anything they promise so really, how can we trust them?

Once I got dropped off, I headed to the Improv show which went really well and was so much fun.

After that I headed home and here I am, 3AM, I have to be up for dress rehearsal at 8AM, so I'm basically...screwed.

Night Everyone!
Sean

This is the Night

Hey Everyone!

So I woke up at 12PM and just did my usual showering and everything. I then headed over at about 3:15PM to learn how to edit the new King's Students Council website. Following this I then headed over to Lauren's for the start of the party.

We went to Milestones Grill and Bar for dinner which was really nice and I paid for Lauren's meal as it was her birthday party. We then headed back to Lauren's for a pre-drink where Lauren got slightly drunk.

Around 9:30PM the limo arrived, the first limo I'd ever been in and it was amazing! So much fun, it took us to the UP on Carling bar which was also not bad and Lauren just got completely drunk. It was interesting to watch, and if she's reading this, you know I still love ya hun!

Anyway, now that that's done and over with I'm back home and just watching some television trying to wind down.

Autistic-wise, probably only thing that happened was I was socially awkward at the bar, I basically withdrew to the couches and just went on MSN on my cell phone because it was all so overwhelming basically.

Night all!
Sean

Dancing Queen

Hey Everyone!

So to begin with, yes I've returned to my old format but it's just so hard for me to stick to any other format than that. But I suppose that's just my autism for you really, I have no control over that particular aspect. Or should I say, I do but don't bother worrying about it too much.

I woke up at 1PM and was planning to get up as I had a meeting at 2PM but then it got cancelled. So I decided to head back to bed, however then I talked with my Mom a bit and then just studied some more before my exam.

I headed to my exam at 3:30PM and I think it was not too bad, I finished at 5 and headed back to my place where I just watched some TV until 10PM when I headed to King's Players.

When I got there I found out I was going to be in the Improv show on Saturday. We then learned some more techniques for improvisation and then headed to Christina's Pub.

I then got home and here I am.

As you can see my only autistic thing was that of my returning to my usual structure of my blog.

Night All!

Memory, All Alone in the Moonlight

Hey Everyone!

I'm sorry for not posting last night. I had been up ALL night Monday night and so when I got home last night I just headed right to bed. It was a normal day yesterday with staying up all night, heading to Masonville to pick up some things, writing my Clinical Psychology midterm, and performing my Music solo.

Today I woke up at 10PM after ten hours of sleep. I got up and had breakfast. I then worked all day on my research idea which I hope is okay, but we'll see. I then headed to class at 5:30 and learned about testing validity. Afterwards I headed to main campus for play rehearsal that lasted until 11:30PM so I had to get Western Foot Patrol to walk me back to King's so I could stay at my friend's place. I also hung out with the girls upstairs and apparently I'm just funny as hell because whenever talking to them I crack them up till they're on the floor laughing.

I'd say the biggest/only thing that happened autism-wise was that I consistently apologized to my director so often it probably ticked him off more than me adding a word to my lines once in a while.

Sorry for the short post despite two days worth of material!

Night all!

Question Authority

Hi Everyone!

So today was a relatively short day starting with heading up to the UWO bookstore to look for a tape that I needed for class which unfortunately they were sold out of, followed with a music lesson.

While later in the day we had a few speeches about Free Speech, Questioning Authority, Love as a Battlefield, that's not the actual title but it's about how people wind up building up ammo against one another in relationships. As well, we learned about Kettlebells which is apparently a fast acting weight loss exercise dumbbell it's just not a dumbbell with evenly distributed weight, it's all focused in the bell and the motion makes you raise your endurance and increase strength. I may look into it as it apparently really does have fast acting as long as you aren't drastically overweight which I'm not.

Anyway, probably only autism-related thing was I wouldn't let some topics go and had to keep adding on to comments I made to the speeches. Finally I just had to stop when they said it's time to move on to the next speech...oops.

Night all,
Sean
