So I realize that I haven't posted in two months, and frankly I do need to apologize for such a thing. It's just been such a whirlwind of a summer that I haven't had time to think, much less time to write. I suppose this is probably a bad thing what with having two writing courses starting next week, so being unable to write this summer has perhaps inhibited my writing skills, but here's hoping it hasn't.
So this summer has possibly been one of the funnest and most enjoyable summers I've ever had. Going to Florida with my best friend was an adventure, especially since our friends down there got her and I into all four Disney Parks for free. So we got to experience everything, including Animal Kingdom which I had never been to before, and had such an amazing time it was just wonderful. I think the scariest ride I went on while there was Mission: Space at Epcot. The reason being that Lauren and I decided to go on the Advanced track and as it's about going into space, we actually got to experience G-Forces, and when you feel like you have a five hundred pound person on your chest and you can barely lift your arms at all, not exactly enjoyable :P, but it was quite an experience and it let me know I'm never going to want to become an astronaut.
I also finally got a chance to head to the new Harry Potter theme park at Universal, and what trip it was. The castle itself is unbelievably beautiful, butterbeer is so very sweet, and the stores are just wonderful. I'll include a photo if I can.
The rest of my summer was uneventful but still enjoyable due to being able to just relax and enjoy my summer.
So I got up at 11AM only to decide to sleep until 12PM even though I had work at 1. When I got up I did my usual shower thing and headed off to work. I took Chris to Wendy's once more and then headed through Pinafore Park before heading home.
When we got home we watched the ending of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, followed by some more of Harry Potter 6 which we hadn't finished last week. Chris behaved quite well compared to yesterday which was good and even asked if my mother was okay as she was asleep at the time.
After I took Chris home at 3PM, my grandfather came over and we had a nice dinner, and then I said good-bye to him when my parents took him home. I then played Bayonetta for the majority of the night after he left.
Autistic-wise, the main thing that happened today was when my mother asked me to bring my computer up to show Gramps some photos of where my cousin is going to medicine. However, I guess I rolled my eyes when she asked me this as if saying 'you're pissing me off, I want to watch television because I'm relaxed', which I guess is just a thing I do with my autism. I get absorbed into the T.V. and if someone asks me to do something when I'm in that state, I get relatively pissed off at them. It's a silly thing, but it's how I am.
Other than that, nothing else really eventful happened.
So just before I blog, I just wanted to say that I apologize if my title of this post offends those of other religions. I celebrate Christmas and enjoy this song, and since today I had a Christmas dinner, it's why I'm using this title.
So I got up around 10:15AM after going to bed at 5AM due to me being sort of sick. Nothing serious, just that I was sick. When I woke up I got my shower, and then had a cup of tea while I waited for us to leave.
Around 11:30AM my parents and I picked up my grandfather and headed up to Kitchener for a visit with my aunt and cousin. We had a nice time talking, got an EB Games gift card, and had dinner. It was my favourite mashed potatoes (potatoes again, :P), great stuffing (actually....was in the bird not in a box, not that there's a problem with a box stuffing...), some turkey too. We just chatted and caught up, and then I headed with my parents and grandfather back home.
When we got near home, my mother woke me up to say I had been snoring...which was embarrassing. I then stayed awake, and when I got home I had to head right back out and pick up Chris.
I took Chris to Wendy's again, then we headed back to my house to watch the end of Harry Potter. After this I took Chris home, went home myself, studied one last time before tomorrow's exam, and that was that.
Hey Everyone! So I got up at about 11AM and took a shower as usual. My parents had to take me to Wal-Mart because I had to get some food for the week. They were going away for a couple days and I was going to be staying at my friend's place again for the week so I needed to make sure I had some food for it.
After this we headed to London, and stopped at Kelsey's for lunch. My parents then dropped me off at my friend's place and I just did some studying. After this around 6:30 I headed over across the street to Lauren's to visit with her as she's leaving Thursday. We just chatted about some school stuff, and some random other stuff, and then I headed back to my friend's.
Basically the rest of the night was put towards studying, watching Canada's Worst Driver finale in which I laughed my butt off, and some Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. This week might be dull for my blog people because I'm not going to be going out much until Thursday, so obviously not much interaction with people. It might wind up more like a journal this week so that's just a warning for all of you. :) But I'd love it if you do keep reading.
So I woke at about 2PM and had a shower. I watched television till around 4:50PM and then headed to work.
I took Chris to Wendy's again and they were out of Root Beer. So I got him his usual meal though and just had a coke for myself in place of his root beer as he said he didn't want anything. But the thing that got to me was the fact that because he had no drink to eat his food, he wound up wasting the entire cheeseburger and all his fries. He actually took only two bites of his cheeseburger and said 'I'm done'. It was slightly unfortunate just because of obvious reasons, all that wasted food just because he didn't have his usual drink. It's just kind of just sad he didn't understand how bad that was of him to do, but I suppose that's his autism. I understand I may not always get ALL my food done, but I'd never waste and entire cheeseburger!
After this we went to my house and started watching Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the actual movie this time. I then took Chris home.
After work, I studied some more, and then here I am writing the blog. Sorry for the short post. Sean
So I woke at about 1PM today, kind of groggy, and barely really watched MAD TV when it was on but I still sort of stayed half-conscious while I watched it. Around 2PM I finally got out of bed and took a shower, however I hate getting out of bed because it's so freaking COLD in my room. The fire was even on in the room outside mine yet mine is still cold as all hell. (Interesting since "hell" is suppose to be extremely hot, so I guess my room is it frozen over :P Minus the torture and whatever else people believe is suppose to be in the supposed place. Hehe) MOVING ON!
Once I took my shower I headed back downstairs with a hot cup of tea and played some Assassin's Creed 2 before heading to work.
I got Chris around 4PM and took him to Wendy's for dinner, grabbing a Junior Cheeseburger myself which I hate as I had a two year hiatus from fast food, now I'm eating it again :(. Though...least it's the item that has the least amount of fat, calories, and all that gross stuff. (Even the salads have more fat and calories than the burger with only cheese and ketchup.)
After Wendy's, we headed to Rogers so I could drop off the movies I had rented and then headed to Pinafore Park to look at the Fantasy of Lights...even though it wasn't all lit up since it was still slightly daylight out. Some of the displays had fallen down because of the huge windstorm we had two days ago.
Once we drove out of the park we headed to my house and watched the special features of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. It was odd as when we tried to watch the second, and third features he almost grabbed the remote to stop it, and yet when we finished the other ones we went back to watch the ones we had stopped previously. Chris sometimes is confusing to me as one minute he's watching, and the next he doesn't get violent at all but he does try and change what's on the screen even if it means yanking the remote control out of your hand. The problem is, when he's wanting it changed, his words that I could normally understand become garbled and I don't know if he's wanting me to stop it, fast forward, or something else. Maybe I'll figure it out in time, but he doesn't have this outbursts often so it's difficult to figure out if at all. I think when I was younger, I may have had this problem on a lesser degree because of my autism. I didn't speak in garbled tones, but I still would yank the converter out of my friends' or a family member's hands because I didn't like what was on. I've gotten over it now more or less, but still I could possibly have this problem latent in me.
Once 6PM rolled around I took Chris home and then headed to the mall to get my hair highlighted again. It's quite nice, it's a much blonder version than I had before, and there's even streaks of reddish-brown (that's burgundy right?) here and there. I got a lot of compliments from the hair stylists saying it brings out my face more, and apparently I have a nicely structured face...which I guess that's nice? Oh, and apparently perfect hair which more than just my hair stylists Devon and Sarah have told me. Go figure.
Anyway, after the hair appointment I came home, worked a bit on the role play forum I'm an administrator for, and then played Assassin's Creed till now.
Yes I forgot yesterday, I'm sorry everyone. This is how I get when I get distracted by video games, they become my whole life because I use it both as a comfort tool and a distraction from life.
Yesterday I woke at 12PM and got picked up by my parents. When I got home around 1:30PM I started doing some laundry and then around 2PM I fell off to sleep. I hadn't got a good night's rest once again, because thanks to the autism, my mind was too stimulated by the television, and the computer that it couldn't settle down enough to let me sleep. So I slept till 4:30PM and then got up and took a shower again since I felt meh from the mid-day snooze. I then just watched some television, studied a bit, and played Assassin's Creed.
Today however was a different day. I woke up at 1PM and realized I was no longer getting texts like I should, so I called my friend and apparently my friends have gotten my texts either four hours after or only half the message.
And now I'm here. I'll update this tonight if I remember to, but I'm about to head to my high school for a visit so I should be going.
So after the visit to my high school I went grocery shopping and also bought the new Harry Potter movie. It had a preview of the final films for Deathly Hallows and the preview looked awesome! It also gave an idea of what to expect from the new Harry Potter theme park opening at Universal Orlando which I CANNOT wait to see. I then headed over to the variety store and picked up Julie & Julia but my autism kind of sparked up as I was talking to Jeff, the owner's son who was working. Basically I kind of droned on and on about how I was slightly up in the air with school.
After this I came home, helped make dinner (Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, and Crescent Rolls) and watched Julie & Julia.
At 9PM I watched the Glee finale which was simply put, AMAZING! Every bit of it was fantastic, and the way they ended it, was just perfect! I cannot wait for the rest of the season, but unfortunately I have to wait till April 13 >_< for it to continue. But at least I'll have something to watch when my exams and break happen! And I have Housewives and Brothers & Sisters to keep me busy until then!
I'm a 22 year old student at King's College at the University of Western Ontario. I've been a member of students councils for the past 8 years of my life, including Communications Coordinator and Website Commissioner. I'm in Psychology at Western, and have a big passion for acting. I'd love to get into movies if I could, but for now, I'm just living life and loving my friends and the productions I'm in at school :).
