It was on MUN campus near some residences, and in other places too. They have white flowers, I believe. Look (smell) for them around late June/early July. The lilacs were just going out of bloom, I think.

I don't know if we ever went to the Avalon Mall. I think we did, but I don't remember it. I remember the colourful houses and the showers in the residences that didn't really have a private place to strip... or put one's clothes...

I probably would have gone to MUN if the fine arts had been in St John's, though.

Avalon Mall isn't anything special, but we only have two noteworthy malls, that being one of them and the other one just to say "Nah, lets go to the Avalon, that one is better," but everyone seems to know the area if I say that XD

Residence is indeed crap! Do you remember which building you were in? I used to live in Blackall. The showers were NASTY. Sometimes the hair clumps would escape the drains and float around the bathrooms and sometimes the hall like tumbleweeds. And yes, no room for changing, you had to be strategic about getting undressed and dressed whilst in the shower and hope no one peeks in (and they do, the pervs).

If I ever had any super powers I SERIOUSLY wish I could read any book in less than a day!
I hate the feeling that I've missed out on a lot as a kid =(

Yeah, that sounds about it. Don't know if it was the same building, though. I didn't see any blobs of hair tumbleweeding, but that could be because it wasn't during the school year and it had had a bit of a cleaning. We were there on Canada Day weekend. It was my Dad's astronomy club's national general assembly thing.
I tried screech too. Rather liked it.

Time is very strange. I want to burn cuckoo clocks.

The calendar is wrong, and clocks. All time-keeping creations are a little off, I imagine. Sleep eludes one equal to the time they stay awake past midnight to the fourth power. Maybe the world functions on exponential power...
I now know why I failed biology, science, and "education system curriculum" in general.
The longer I stay up past midnight, the less sleep I've been getting. I almost want to say "needing" instead of "getting" because I can't sleep-in past certain times, yet, maybe there're more individuals like me?
I must start experimenting more on this nutty and exciting idea fizzling in my brain.
Suggestions on this?

I have a cuckoo clock from the Black Forest. I sleep through a bird that my parents can hear when they're in the garage, but it's the ticking that bothers me.

Do you also dislike when you listen to, say, nature sounds and you can catch the part where it loops back to the beginning? That drives my friend nuts because she focuses on it. I tell her I like it.
The looping makes me think on karmic levels. But I don't know much 'bout that

Time is objectively measurable only by external processes.

I love my boyfriend.

So anyway I find myself going insane trying to write a realistic male character in a love story.

Many real men do seem unrealistic... for one reason or another... good or bad...

I am not a hunter. I should be.

I know.. men in real life are like when you are craving something and in your mind it's going to taste fabulous and then you taste it in real life and you think "meh.. it wasn't that good after all"

They always want you to change but they never change themselves.

I find that most of the men I've known (not in touch with anymore) were royal pains in the ass. They were/are pretty much centered on themselves and only deem their attitudes to be nice to others when it will benefit them.
Typical mealtime would go like this:

M: Dinner was great but....(place major or minor complaint here)
F: Oh, okay (genuine apologetic tone) well I will try to take care of that next time.
M: Ya, okay what is for dessert? (disappointed tone)
F: Oh sorry, I did a lot of running around taking care of errands and didn't really have time to make anything special.
M: Well what am I gonna have then?(whiny, 5-year old child tone)
F: There are a few left over cookies from two days ago, want those?
M: Can't you make something really fast?

Really? Realllllly? Really.

I'm sure there are some great men out there but they happen to live in a 300 mile radius of me at all times. Plus I think women are beautiful/superior/made of candy
But everyone's sexual interests differ. You know what they say, "Whatever floats your coffin!"

Mortal - I'd change that conversation slightly.

Setting the scene - Female frazzled from having a really difficult day chasing around after a child/or at work.

Male: "What's for dinner?"
Female: What are you going to cook?

or

Male: I can't eat this?
Female: Would you rather wear it? I can arrange that. (said smiling)

***

Nah I'm a sucker for guys.

BUT I will admit that I was at a checkout once and I saw this women who was incredibly beautiful and I was drawn to her.

I didn't say anything to her, apart from the usual chit chat, but she had something about her that was just amazing. Maybe she was my lover in a different life.

But I've met some women that are real bitches. I caught up with a friend from primary school who was towing along three guys - seeing which one was going to offer her the best deal for being a step mum to their kids. I asked her "Well which one do you love?"

She just gave me a look that said that Love was not part of the equation.

On a side note - I had a weird dream last night - I turned into a tree but would become human once a year for one night.

Icehouse is one of the best bands ever. Young Einstein (Yahoo Serious) is one of the best movies ever. You must be awesome in the kitchen!

Mortal - that's a big negative on the cooking front.
