We are on the brink of a whole new phase in Brea’s Blogging Career.

As of yesterday, I am the proud owner of my very own domain!

It clearly isn’t ready yet, since I just paid for the domain and hosting yesterday, but it will be one day. I’m very excited. I’ve always wanted a domain of my own, but thought the price was astronomical and hi? I’m a student. But through the help of Stephen, I bought my domain for less than $20 for two years, and his friend Matt is graciously hosting me for only $30 a year!

I am not even going to bother putting my new address up yet. I haven’t picked a template, and Stephen is helping me out alot with getting it up and running since I am clueless about anything related to technology. For real. I blog, that’s it. I don’t even know how to record from my VCR. Yes, I still have a VCR. I know a bit about cell phones, but that’s only because I worked for a cell phone company for a year. So yes, my knowledge is limited.

That’s not the point. The point is: I have my very own domain! Whee!

I’ll keep ya updated.

After class today, my “posse” of girls I hang around with everyday (Abby, Christin, and Heather) and I stood around chatting. I was a little curious as to why two guys who looked vaguely familiar to me kept glancing my way. I knew it wasn’t because I looked good today, hell no. I had very little sleep from writing a 15 page paper in one evening. I was unshowered, wearing jeans and a sweatshirt older than I am, with my hair tossed back into a ponytail. Not cute.

I dismissed it, and Abby and I went on our way. About 15 minutes later we were visiting people in the ESS office and Leanne, my fellow chair from SESH, asks “Breanne… you do realize you have a huge hole in your jeans, right?”

No, no I didn’t.

I almost died of mortification right there as I pieced together exactly why those two guys in the hallway kept glancing my way, and I blurted “THAT’S why those two guys in the hallway kept looking!”

Of course Abby had to chime in and said “Must be! I was also wondering why they kept looking at you and giggling!”

Giggling. I knew they were staring but giggling!?

Leanne, in an attempt to make me feel better, said “All they can see is your underwear!” I gave her a look, and she said “Or… that’s not your underwear is it.”

Nope. It was all bum. Full bottomed underpants and I do not get along, thankyouverymuch.

To make matters worse (yes, it gets worse)… I realized exactly where I recognized the two guys in the hallway from… they play football for the Huskies, our college football team. A couple of days ago I checked out the roster just because I am headed to Vanier Cup this weekend and, well, I wanted to see if any of them were goodlooking. I’ll admit it.

So, yes… my embarassing story of the day. Is anyone really that surprised this happened to me? I’m not.

Unfortunately. As much as I want to brag about how great SESH went, I can’t get into it right now. I have a midterm worth 25% of my grade on Monday, and a 15 page paper worth 25% of my grade due Tuesday. Because of how busy I have been with SESH, I have neither studied nor written anything.

Thank God for the new flannel pj’s and fuzzy slippers I bought today. Lounging around the house doing homework has never been so comfortable.

This is an open invitation to any Saskatoon dwellers out there.

Santa’s Education Student Helpers (SESH) is tomorrow night! What that is is a fundraiser geared at raising money to help our city’s inner city schools. What we do is have a silent and live auction on donated items, with all proceeds going to SESH. There is free food, a bar, and live music! It is a formal event, so you even get to dress up!

Here are the details if, by some chance, anyone who reads this wants to join in on the festivities!

Where: Education Student Lounge, Education building (28 Campus Drive), University of Saskatchewan
What: Santa’s Education Student Helpers fundraiser
Why: To raise money for inner city schools!
When: Thursday, November 16, 6-10 PM

Some of the items up for grabs include:

• Signed Roughriders photo.
• Signed jersey from U of S women’s hockey team.
• Two tickets to a Blades game, with a Blades jersey.
• Art work.
• Gift certificates to restaurants, spas, even some for your own pair of Dawgs!
• Bar tabs to some local clubs.
• Limo packages.
• Theme packages such as: movie, student, kitchen, coffee, summer, car, pet, etc.
• Toys!

I realize this is a little late to post an invite to people, but what can I say? I am chairing this fundraiser, so spare time is something I have had little of lately. If you do choose to come out, look for me! I’ll be the girl in the black halter dress, red scarf, and red shoes. You won’t be able to miss me, I’ll be the social butterfly of the evening!

EDIT: I forgot about one of the most important things in regards to SESH! There will also be a raffle held, for $30 a ticket you are entered to win 2 return tickets for anywhere in Canada that WestJet flies! Yeah. You read that right. Only $30 a ticket. And tickets are only sold tomorrow, which means fairly good odds!

I fell asleep dreaming of a regular Sunday morning. Waking up… walking downstairs… greeting Winston with a big hug and kisses… the house warm, with the delicious smells of breakfast being cooked… me in flannel pj’s and fuzzy slippers… nothing at all to do except laze around, read books, watch TV.

That should clue you all in to how INSANE this week already has been and will be for me. SESH may be over in 2 short days, but guess what? I’ll still be busy with school up until I am done finals on December 11th.

I seriously cannot wait until a lazy Sunday comes around.

You can expect a few thousand pics of just her and I when I get back.

Well, maybe not a few thousand. But there are alot. I will put them on Flickr one day. For now, here are a few.

Videos too… later! Okay, Rosey? Dancing in the washroom? I warned you.

In a few hours I’ll be heading to my hometown for the weekend. I’m excited. I haven’t been home since the end of August.

This will be an action packed weekend. First, small town pubcrawl tonight! Those are always a blast. This one will especially be fun because… ROSEANNE WILL BE THERE! YAY! Seriously! I haven’t seen Rosey since the Education football trip way back at the end of September. Seeing as how she is my bestest friend in the whole wide world, that’s unfortunate. Very unfortunate. You can expect a few thousand pics of just her and I when I get back. I’m honestly so happy about getting to see her. I have alot of friends, but there’s only one Rosey. She’s mad at me because I said I have no one to confide in. I didn’t want a phone or MSN convo though. I wanted a real time bitch session. So I’ll get that this weekend. Purge myself.

Then, Saturday… big surprise party for my Dad’s 65th birthday. I love family functions. I’m still sad the 4 weddings of ‘05-’06 are over, and thus am glad that family is coming together this weekend, albeit in smaller numbers.

Well, I hope everyone has as good of a weekend as I plan on having. Hopefully I get some school work done in there too, but we’ll see.

A conversation with a friend tonight led into a discussion on the different types of personalities. The friend thought I sounded like an ENFP. I had no idea what that meant, but vaguely remembered seeing the acronym on her site, though I had never taken a look at it.

Came home tonight, decided to pay the $5 and see what personality I am. Sure enough, like the friend thought I would be and just like she is, I am an ENFP. I actually took the time to read it in its entirety too, and I very much agreed with the results.

I think I need to get to know myself better. More on that some other time.

I get down on myself and discouraged way to easily sometimes.

:(

I suck.

It also sucks that I feel like I don’t have anyone to confide in besides my blog.
