Yesterday we were JERKs, today we were "Bitchy/Bastard Brew". Today consisted two lectures, two quizzes / exam, a short lunch, and then another lecture and pre-lab full of calculations and a long afternoon of waiting. We made our dark beer from a recipe of crystal malt, chocolate malt, criolacs malt (sp?) and another malt that I"m not running to my room to check on. It took my group probably SIX HOURS to complete the lab!!! And I left an hour early..thanks guys I owe you BIG!!

Then it was off to dinner where I chattered with and laughed at Isabelle. I sat beside her, with her mom on my other side. It was interesting as great auntie 7 sat next to her and DROVE. HER. NUTS. I was cracking up because basically when my auntie 7 makes a remark, she won't shut up until someone acknowledges her, however insignificant or rude or unimportant it is. You can imagine how my poor cousin was at wits end.

"hmm. I wonder if anyone wants those duck feet to take home." "Does anyone want to take home the duck feet?" "Maybe your grandmom wants the duck feet." "hey want the duck feet?" "I think we should pack up the duck feet for your grandmom" "does the other table want duck feet?" hehehehe.

So Lieh has emailed me to let me know that he is the "Rogers guy". I still do not know who duke.edu, novustelecom, shaw, telus or BCIT was/is. And while we're on the topic....oh well. Doesn't matter I guess. But it just doesn't seem fair..

Anyways it was bothering me earlier this week about all these mister / miss "question marks" because I was wondering who these regular visitors are. I ended up turning to Jerry in the middle of lunch and asking him, "have you been to my website?" ..he shoke his head...meanwhile, I noticed Greg, who was sitting right beside him, with his eyes kinda rolling when I had asked. So I asked if Greg had been to my website.

Slowly, he nods his head and says, "yes..I think so...like once or twice I think." And I blurted out, "oh my! you must think i'm crazy or something!"

Greg's like, "no, you're not crazy...I think was using direct.ca, but now it's look.ca.."

Anyways the point of all this dribble? I don't know how I feel about that. ..I mean the real life and the online connecting. I was writing to Lieh, saying that I felt like George Costanza from Seinfeld when his girlfriend became buddies with his friends.."Oh no...the two worlds.. they're COLLIDING!" . . . .do I care that Greg is / has read this journal?

I guess not. Greg's pretty cool. I mean, he used to plant little broccoli flowerets in his rice bowl when he was a kid, just like me!! how cool is that! ;p

No..but really...I think I am ok with RL and online "colliding", as long as there is no criticism or negativity associated with it. I do not like to feel vulnerable or uncomfortable. I write a lot in here that I would not speak of in real life...and although this reincarnation of my OL journal is already a lot more censored than my past journals, it is still very much me and I do not want it any other way.
