The bad:

• The boots I like in the colour I hate are down to $39 while the colours I do want stubbornly refuse to drop. OMG seriously Aldo? They've been around since JULY. Just let me buy them already!!!
• I'm so sleep deprived. I know it's stupid, but I just can't get used to sleeping without Paddy in my bed. Over the holidays I stayed up late enough that I generally dropped off to sleep without much trouble, but I can't keep doing that during the school year. Sigh.
• I'm sick of being COLD all the time. Unfortunately I'm looking at another two or three months of wintery temperatures. Lame!
• My parents saying things like, Emily, dont' you think you have enough boots? I have two pairs of (well-loved) rainboots, and a pair of purple suede boots that I got when I was fifteen and stupid. I think after four years, it's not unreasonable to want more practically coloured boots.
  

The good:

• I was in the Body Shop today, and I found out that they still had a little bit of the discontinued lip butter flavour that I love!!! It's guarana berry, it smells soooo good.
  
• I'm newly addicted to Gossip Girl. So embarrassing. But such good, trashy TV! So good for de-stressing!
• Since Paddy died, Charlie (one of my other cats) has taken to sleeping at my feet most nights. It's not the same as having Paddy in my arms, but it is nice.
  
• I saw Mamma Mia this week, and although it wasn't exactly a cinematic wonder, it did make me like ABBA again.
• OOH big news, I switched my presumptive major (haven't formally declared yet) from Classics to Religious Studies. My religious studies classes are SO interesting. 
• Superdickery! Hahahaha, it's a website devoted to what an asshole Superman can be. I can't remember who linked me to it originally, maybe lostdwarf? But the one I just linked is my favourite one.

Have a good week everyone!

The Good

• We got over a foot of snow on Friday night, and I'm not sick of it yet. Early snow and Christmas snow are the best kinds.
• Paddy's perked up a bit.
• I got to talk to my BFF today for the first time in nearly two months! YAY.
• Clean laundry.
• New journal soooooon!
• Tights. I love winter if for no other reason than I get to wear TIGHTS! I'm on the lookout for brightly coloured ones now. American Apparel has nice ones, but they are definitely overpriced.
  
• I have an A+ in Arabic at the moment. AN A+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  

• Those damn boots of mine finally went on sale.......in brown and taupe, not black. Gah!!! So annoying. I wanted them to wear to work for the holiday season.
• Exams. My first one is on Thursday, but then my next one isn't till Dec. 8, so it's not all bad. And one of them is take-home, so my load is pretty light this term.
• It snowed on FRIDAY, and our street still has only one lane plowed. Look, I know it's a double dead end, but people live here too, municipal government.
  
• Being the bigger person sucks sometimes.
• My inability to make eye contact is starting to irritate me.

It's snowing, guys!!!! I forgot my camera at home (I'm at school) but it's the first real snow! We're supposed to get around a foot. I'm praying for no rain! I'm so happy because it's so, so beautiful, and I thought I would share the joy.

I was downtown with my dad when it started, and I squealed and put my hands in the air. He was embarrassed.

Picture's not mine (from here)

Snow!
