Eep. So I'm here in my room at RVC at McGill.
Homesickness is already settling in. I just wanted a few more days of Toronto to settle down after CNA to say goodbye to everything and everyone properly, not in the rushed way this morning that has me irritated, frustrated, melancholy and forgetful. I forgot my pills at home and I still have this cough and stuffy nose.
I've still got things to buy and do, like pick up my Student card, which seems impossible, since the line for that is 6 hours long (not kidding), activating my phone and internet, meeting with an academic adviser so that he/she can approve my course, and of course, attend Arts and SSMU Frosh, which I'm not looking forward to that much.
There's so much I don't know and I feel so lost. Simply, I am not emotionally, mentally, or physically healthy or ready to face this.
I'm actually close to tears. Hell. I've worked hard to get here, but now that I'm here...I want to go home instead. *sigh* I just want some familiar faces near me, but there just aren't any. I've met some cool people, but closeness just isn't something that pops up immediately. I'm in a strange city, in a strange place, in a strange room. I'm afraid of so much and it's all stupid trivial things. Damnit, I'm so weak and it's so damn hard to pretend I'm strong.
By the way, my new cell # is (from my old cell) (+1, same, -2) (+1, +6, +4)-(+5, same, +2, +6). Give me a call sometime this week; I never got to say goodbye properly to most of you guys. [Tuesday, August 19, 2003 | 11:54 p.m.]
Having a crisis with my residence. Go to my DJ for the details. Am truly and royally fucked for next year.
FUCK!
And I'm also a fucking bloody idiot! IDIOT! [Saturday, August 16, 2003 | 10:23 p.m.]
Okay CNA-goers (those who I think I'm in charge of), here's a tenative schedule of what's happening on Friday, August 22 - Sunday, August 24 for CNA at the Metro Toronto Convention Center, North Building.
Tickets have not been bought in advance. Apologies for misleading you, but I never said I'd actually purchase them via the 'net with a credit card. It was a suggestion and didn't get put through, sorry. That means we're going to have to stand in line for tickets again, but hey, it's half the fun.
To make the best of line-waiting, I suggest that we get to the convention center by 1:45/2:00 p.m. on Friday, as the convention officially starts at 4 p.m. We can get tickets then line up in the "get into the dealer's room" line. We will meet under the main escalators in the main lobby. If you don't know where this is, just give someone a call (most likely me, since I'm in charge of this thingy and I'll get there early enough) when you're close to the center and we'll give you more detailed directions/lead you to us/me. Try to be on time please. Let's not have delays like last year.
Communication during the con most easily would be done through cell phone. We can make sure while we're waiting in the line that everyone has everyone else's cell number, if you have a cell. If you won't be waiting in line for Friday, email/MSN me for my cell. (It's unchanged from before.) But what's even better is face-to-face human communication. So stick to someone like glue during the con (ESPECIALLY the dealer's room) or organize meeting times and places throughout the day so we know we won't lose someone/everyone.
I know that some people won't be coming some days, so leave a message as to what days you are coming and if you'd be willing to give up your badge for someone else on the days you won't be coming and you two would split the cost. Splitting badges between people is a matter for the bunch of you. I'm not doing any intermediary stuff, sorry. I'll allow this comment box to be a message board though.
Tickets cost CDN, as usual, bring extra money for food, subway tickets, and purchases. Transportation will be the lovely TTC if it can get itself back up to full power in time for CNA which (let's all hope) it will.
Subway: Take the subway down to Union Station. Get on the Skywalk and follow the signs to the North Building. Or you can go out onto Front Street (and enjoy the sunshine) and walk towards the CN Tower until you hit a building that looks like this. You can't miss it, it'll be on your left if you're walking the right way. I personally find Front Street faster since you don't need to go up and down escalators and stairs.
If someone borrowed something from you previously, get it back from them now. We're all splitting for universities and forgetfulness is a tidal wave starting in September.
More questions & comments, leave message here please. If you're going to Anime All Night/Karaoke or are interested, also leave a message. I think I might go to that. Also leave a message if you want to take the subway down together, those who live in the "boonies" (Markham, Scarborough, Richmond Hill, etc.)
Further details can be found at the CNA page
Note: I sound like a militaristic bossy bitch here. Ignore the tone. I'm just feeling tense because I've got a load of things to do in the next week like moving to university. [Sunday, August 10, 2003 | 01:24 a.m.]
Sudden urge for Wolf's Rain. I want to watch Wolf's Rain. These sudden urges tear me apart. Erk!
I'm watching Tennis no Oujisama, trans. Prince of Tennis aka PoT, TenniPuri now. The problem with the Japanese name is that I'm never quite sure whether I'm saying "Prince of Tennis" or "Grandfather of Tennis." Damn those long vowels.
Yoko Kano create gorgeous music. Sure, I've heard she's a bit of a ditz and she copies musical sections from a few classical sources, but she still makes beautiful music.
Since I'm back, I'd like to distribute presents/stuff I've bought for you. The following people need to collect from me:
Greg (Hitsuji no Namida 1-2, 4 and your birthday present that is better used at the beginning of the school year)
Everyone must collect before I go to university, which means the latest you can collect is Sunday at CNA. [Saturday, August 9, 2003 | 07:33 p.m.]
I'm an emotional mess up. I'm a load of problems and I wish I could straighten the problems I have without hurting anyone.
Remember that enigmatic post with confusion and elation at the end of June? Well, this is connected to that.
I'm still fucking confused and this situation is so trite. *bangs head against wall*
[Saturday, August 9, 2003 | 01:05 a.m.]
I haven't used pitas in a long time. Terrible of me to ignore pitas in favour of DJ.
Dead tired right now; am awaiting reply from McGill East Asian Studies Department so I can get department approval to apply to First Level Japanese. If I don't get it, I'm going to be damned pissed off. Choosing university courses is frustrating and irritating.
Am looking forward to CNA and spending more time with friends between splitting for university. It's a sad affair to leave things like this between us.
A shitload of regret and nowhere to run but the same wall over and over again. [Tuesday, August 5, 2003 | 03:44 p.m.]
Back from HK. Nose stuffy and runny and feeling run down and craptacular. Cannot wait for tonight when I'll be allowed to sleep for 10 hours at least.
Mmm...sleep. Now off to watch TenniPuri or GetBackers.
