Feed the Birds, Tuppence a Bag

Hey Everyone!

I woke up at 1:00PM and did my usual shower and such. I then watched MadTV and followed it up by Daily Show and Colbert Report for some last minute laughs before my day turned on the decline.

I headed to King's as it was finally time for my Clinical Psychology exam. I am hoping I did a good job, as a lot of questions I kept thinking "this is all in order of what I studied".

After class, I took a cab up to Central Secondary as it was time for the play, but turns out most people had gone out to dinner. So here I am at the school ready to go, and everyone else is out. So I sat and had dinner at the school with my friend Alex as we waited for them to get back. The practice/rehearsal went pretty well, and my costume changes went fine. Wednesday is the dress rehearsal so it kind of has to work out other wise. But you know what they say, "crappy dress rehearsal, amazing opening night" so here's hoping tomorrow goes horribly :P.

Once practice was over, Lauren, Tricia and I took the bus to the main gates and then briefly got some food from the variety store nearby. We then headed home and here I am.

Anyway that's all for today!

Cause When You're Fifteen

Hey Everyone!

So I woke up at 12PM after a 12 hour sleep and had my usual shower. I watched television for a while and then headed to my Psych of Work class which wasn't bad for once. We watched a clip from Braveheart, followed by a clip from Devil Wears Prada (one of my favourite movies). Lauren and I then walked back to her place before I headed home for my first night off in a while. Even though I'll need to get back to studying for Tuesday's exam, I just decided to take tonight off as I had spent the past couple days both studying and writing a silly Research paper.

Around 9:55PM, I headed to Lauren's so we could head over to King's Players. We had some fun, and I played Pocket Lines (a game where you act out a scene and insert in one of the lines on the slips of paper you picked out). There were other games we played, but not as many on stage ones, more "In the Manner of the Word" or "Molecules".

After KP we headed to Christina's Pub for a little while, and chatted. I then grabbed some groceries from the variety store and Lauren, Ashley and I headed home. Now that's where I am, playing Matrix: The Path of Neo.

Night all!

I'm Freaking Out

Hey Everyone!

So I woke up today at 12:00PM and watched MadTV before heading over to King's to sign up for my Soph interview as I got into the next level of the Soph application process which made me quite happy. After I signed up for that I went to the library to print off my tickets for my friend Brittany and I to go see Alice in Wonderland as we're seeing it Friday since I work the First-Year Ball on Saturday so I can't go with Lauren and others that night.

After this I had class at 3:30PM and then headed home briefly before heading to my vocal coaching sessions at the Music Building. Then I spoke with my ensemble partner Jennifer to decide which song to do, which will most likely be Come What May from Moulin Rouge.

After this I headed to Fashion Show practice which went pretty well, and I ended by working on the posters for the Fashion Show. It's stressing me out so bad but luckily Pat (the KUCSC President) said he'd take the work I did, and then just finish it up. I just hope he does it the right way.

Autism-wise, I both have been letting the stress overwhelm me because I'm not letting myself breathe or any of the things I was told to do to help prevent my stress from getting overwhelming. There also was the usual following the structure of my blog as always. :P

Night all!

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!
Sean

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

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!
Sean

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.

Sean

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!
Sean

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
