I'm a 25 year old girl from Canada. As of summer 2008, I'm a veterinarian and I got a job back in my hometown after studying my ass off for 5 years.

I like current TV shows like Lost, Scrubs and House. I own DVDs to all the seasons of Buffy, Angel and Firefly (yes, I'm a Joss Whedon freak) I also have a geeky side and am a huge Mythbusters fan.

I love Harry Potter, both books and movies. I recently started reading Twilight and even though I thought it read like a fanfiction, I still got addicted to it. Other favorite books are Memoirs of a Geisha, Lord of the Rings and The Green Mile.

About music, I love everything as long as it's not rap or country. I'm mostly into singers like Rachael Yamagata, Schuyler Fisk, Joshua Radin. I also have this cheesy side of me that screamed like a teenybopper when she heard New Kids On The Block were coming back (I was really into them when I was like 8) And I like you know, stuff that a lot of people like, like Simple Plan, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day.

Now about movies, I'm into Japanese horror... and I do mean the original stuff, not the stupid American remakes. I got really picky in the last years and only a few movies caught my attention... the latest being Sweeney Todd.

I used to be a huge F1 fan when I was young... mostly because it was almost my only father-daughter time. In 2004, I got really bored with it and stopped watching for 4 years. And now, I'm back baby! I missed most of 2008 season but I'm really hooked now. My old self is back and I really wish I can go to the Canadian GP in 2009. It was a dream of mine when I was young and I could never do it so I'm glad to be back now that I am in a better position to do it.

Anyway, that's a lot but at the same time, I just scratched the surface. If you're interested in knowing more, just comment and I'll add you :)

Oh my God... Okay this is a message to say I'm not dead, even though I've been away from the internet for almost 2 months now.

I'm starting my job next week and it's freaking me out like you can't even begin to imagine. I've been going on the road with vets from my clinic, which is basically why I've been away from the computer. Days are exhausting and when I come home, I most likely eat and then go to sleep. But I hope I'll get used to this. There's also many things to think about... new car, insurance, etc.

Many things happened... I got my first car, a very good friend of my parents died in an horrible accident, I got my licence and now I'm officially a veterinarian, I saw Mélanie2 for the first time since the end of April and I missed her so much, as of yesterday 2am I have a new baby cousin, I bought myself a beautiful but probably too pink dress for my prom, and yadda yadda yadda. I still need to find myself an apartment. I love my parents very much but I miss living by myself and not feeling like I have to justify myself everytime I leave the house.

And then there's work. Some days I think I'll be amazing, some days I feel like I'm the worst vet people will ever meet. But hey, I'll have to start someday, otherwise I'll never know what kind of vet I can be...

Don't worry this is spoiler free. If I ever write spoilers, I'll put them under a cut.

Okay so right now, I'm holding Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in my hands. I haven't read it yet, I want to finish Half-Blood Prince first. But God I couldn't help myself but look a bit at the titles of some chapters... and the title of the last chapter made me scream like a fangirl and jump up and down in the middle of the living room (hopefully, I'm alone in the appartment right now :P) And if anybody wanted to know, I also checked the last word of the book and it's not "scar" it's "well" LOL I was kind of disappointed by how thick the book is... it's the same as Half-Blood Prince... I dunno, I was kind of expecting it to be Order of the Phoenix-thick. But well, I bet it's still great.

I'll stop babbling now and run to finish HBP. Now that I have the book here, I don't think I'll be able to read it nice and slow, I'm way too excited about it now. And it's all JK Rowling's fault because she read the first chapter live (check my previous post) and after that, I could barely sleep because I was too excited.

This is rad and possibly the coolest thing ever and the waiting is killing me : http://dl.groovygecko.net/anon.groovy/clients/bloomsbury/bl01.html

Meanwhile, I'm trying to finish re-reading Half-Blood Prince as fast as I can and tomorrow I'll try to find Deathly Hallows somewhere here and buy it. And then well... who knows... I'll probably put it on the table and look at it for a couple of hours before finding the courage to start reading it... because then when I'll start, I'll read it very fast as usual and I'll be left crying like a baby because it's gonna be all finished...

This is probably the most exciting things that's happening in my life lately. I'm working at the exotic animals clinic, I only have one week left hopefully, and it's kind of boring. When we have appointments, it's cool and I learn loads of things... but that's *when* we have appointments. Because most of the time, it's very very quiet. So most of my days are spent reading a little bit of HBP when I have time and the rest of it is spent daydreaming and being excited about Deathly Hallows.

I'll probably avoid the internet in the next days, I'm so curious that I could very easily end up reading spoilers...

Okay so I saw OOTP last night, before I see it again and come with a fully detailed list of thoughts about everything that is in it, here are some non-spoilery random thoughts that might make you want to run to the nearest movie theater to see it ;)

*First of, the beginning of the movie is nothing like we've ever seen before. At one point, I was asking myself "Huh... am I really watching Harry Potter?" because some shots almost looked like an horror movie or something. The camera action is tooootally different from the previous movies.
*Daniel Radcliffe's performance is so fricking breathtaking. He really improved, there's no doubt about it. And there are particular scenes where I just thought "Oh my God... he really has nothing to do anymore with the kid in movie 1 who had no idea what he was doing..."
*Evanna Lynch is a perfect Luna Lovegood. Luna was my favorite character and I would've been very angry if they hadn't picked the right person. But she is the right person. So dreamy and awkward in every possible way, the perfect Luna.
*At first I was kind of disappointed because they left out a looooot of things from the book. And I got the feeling they wanted to put the maximum but to do that, they had to take huge shortcuts. And it makes it a very fast paced movie, you don't see the time passing.
*What made me not be disappointed by this movie is just the whole thing visually. The camera angles are sometimes weirdly chosen, but so effective and breathtaking. The whole way the thing is set up, the transitions between the scenes are consistent (you'll see what I mean when you'll see the Daily Prophet sequences) At first the transitions were kind of annoying me but then I realised it was a very effective way of delivering the information without spending 10 minutes on it. The director, David Yates, really did an AWESOME job with this movie, I'm very happy he's going to direct Half-Blood Prince. They should seriously win an award for the direction of this movie... and for the performance of the whole cast.
*Ralph Fiennes had freaked me out in Goblet of Fire. His performance of Voldemort was so spooky and he ended up being the perfect actor for that character. Well, that's nothing compared to his performance in OOTP. I don't know what they did to his make-up but he's 10 times more spooky than before. And even though we see him just a couple of times, everytime he's on the screen, he's insanely amazing. The way he moves, the way he talks, I might actually have nightmares for the next weeks.
*The soundtrack is amazing, I'm soooo buying it next time I go to the music store!

So, that was it, those are general thoughts about the movie because I can't really remember every single scene. I'll probably see it again soon (my mom will surely want to see it) and I'll do a more detailed thing. But for now, I just wanted you to really want to go see the movie ;P But don't expect too much of it though, because then you'll come back and say "Hey you lied to me! It wasn't that good!" What you just read are my personal opinions and other people might think totally differently.

Now I'm off to read Half-Blood Prince while waiting for Deathly Hallows to be out next Saturday.

So, this term has finally ended! Well not officially, I still have one exam to go tomorrow afternoon and then, I'm outta here!!!

So, I will be home tomorrow and for the next two weeks. I don't know if I'll be able to write but I might do it if I have time and am not too lazy :P

Happy Holidays everyone! Merry Christmas and have the best New Year ever :) I dunno if I will since most of my New Years end up being awful, but I'll try really hard this year.

Take care!
Marie ^_^

Do you have the time to listen to me whine?

I guess seeing Basket Case on the music video channel this morning was kind of a sign... But I'm not even sure I have time to whine actually...

The only thing that is stopping me from just sitting in a corner and cry is that I've got all these stuff to do for school. Drowning yourself in work is great cos you just don't think about your personal problems... But I'm fearing March 24, since it's the deadline for all these papers. Then, I won't have anything left to drown myself into...

I'm just making everybody believe I'm ok. But I'm not. Mom told me the other day that they will come to see me during the Easter holiday. Most of you would say "Wow, that's cool." But it isn't. I thought I was gonna go back home for Easter! I was really looking forward to it. Now, part of that holiday (which is 4 days) I'll be here all alone because everybody is going to see their families for Easter, and the other part, well you know, I thought it couldn't get worse, but it will... I'll be with my parents and we'll go with my brother to see his stupid girlfriend in Montréal...

Just to push myself a bit lower, François is acting like a prick. He is not writing to me since the last time we saw each other, which was 2 weeks ago. His birthday was March 15 and I wrote him an email to say happy birthday and he didn't even reply to say thank you! Talk about immature! I am so moving on. If he dares replying to me, I'll make him wait for 2 weeks or more, just so he knows how it feels. I thought we were friends. I thought being 26 was making people a bit more adult. Now I think that some people younger than 20 are more mature than him. He really is disappointing me more and more as time goes by.

On the brightside, I found myself a job for this summer. At the same clinic I worked for 2 years ago. It's cool because I'll be doing more stuff than I was (well, doing more than cleaning stupid cages is an easy improvement) and I'll be paid more (the first summer, I was paid 9$ per hour (6,37 euros) and now it'll be 10$ per hour (7,07 euros) which is a very nice raise). That's taking off a bit of stress from my shoulders...

So, I'll go back to work... I've got some quizzes to do on WebCT... 4 actually, and I'm supposed to have them finished for Tuesday... God how I hate Pharmacology... the teacher is cool, the class is ok but she just decided to give us so many different stuff to do for next week!

Write down the names of 12 characters. Then read and answer the questions. You can't look at the questions (or click on the cut) until you write down the 12 characters you're going to use.

1- Jack (Lost)
2- Buffy Summers (BtVS)
3- Cho Chang (Harry Potter)
4- Spike (BtVS)
5- Winifred Burkle (Angel)
6- Claire (Lost)
7- Legolas (LOTR)
8- Homer Simpson (The Simpsons)
9- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce (Angel)
10- Ron Weasley (Harry Potter)
11- Winnie The Pooh
12- SpongeBob

My term is ending. I am going back home for the summer. The thing is, our new house isn't fully built yet. Which means I won't have internet access for a while. I don't know when I will be back, but it might be sooner than you think.

I also have things to sort out in my head. I have been depressed lately. I need to know what is wrong with me, it's the first time such a thing happens to me. I used to be the girl who could always find a way to cheer herself up even when bad things happened. "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" I used to know what that meant. I don't anymore. And it's not normal.

So, this will be a short hiatus. I might be able to ask my aunt to check my emails at her house. So if you wanna email me, you can :)

Have a nice beginning of summer. I will be back with a less screwed computer and better mood.

I will miss you, I will think about everyone everyday while I'll be gone.

Message for Iva : I will be so lost while I won't have internet... if there is anything, if you need to rant about stuff that happens, if something incredible happens, whatever, email me! Even if it's useless or two lines long, just do it. I also need to ask you for a favor but I will email you about it...

Less than 15 hours left and I will be away from here... I can't wait to escape this Hellmouth but I miss my online life already... I should go to bed now.

See you! *big hugs and lots of kisses*
