So my wonderful time in edmonton just went horribly wrong.

Steve(the guy i was seeing here) and I "broke up" a few days ago.

The next morning I proceeded to puke (the first time in like 5 years) because I drank too much on Saturday.

Then Monday came. I managed to sprain my ankle (3rd degree, high ankle sprain... aka the worst kind everrr) so I'm not 100% sure but I'm like 95% sure I will not be playing this season. I whole reason I came out here was to play, and now I cant. Needless to say, I'm a little upset. I better get back to my bed. I haven't cried in a whole hour.

I officially love Alberta.

We got the weekend off (kinda.. we still need to do some fitness stuff) so yesterday the team went out for dinner and then to O'Byrne's which is a pub kinda place down on Whyte. I used Bunny's ID and it worked. Then we went back to the house and got ready and went to Bar Wild... where Bunny's ID worked again :D so we joined the football team and their rookie party. It was soooo much fun. I had at least 1 drink in my hands the whole night and the field hockey girls got everyone dancing and I don't remember much but I know I had fun. Everyone, you must come visit me in Alberta. I guarantee you a gooooood time.

That is all for now.

Friday I'm hanging out with the crew.

Saturday, practice in Duncan, then hanging out at Mark's and staying at Mir's.

this entry is pretty much gonna consist of me bitching and complaining. i'm not looking for sympathy or anything, i really just need to get this all out.

i am so ridiculously stressed out right now. i probably shouldn't be this stressed, but i've never one to deal with any level of stress well. i just have so much shit going on right now and i want it all to end.

i'm still sick, and getting worse. its getting to the point where i can barely breathe on my own and i dont know what to do. im so rundown all the time and no matter how much sleep i get, im constantly exhausted. this is making field hockey very difficult and the whole fitness program we're supposed to be doing even harder. i am now considering absolutely sucking at the regionals tournament in may because i dont know if i want to make a provincial team this year. my weight keeps fluctuating too. ive been losing weight like mad and my eating habits are right fucked. school bites. i cant concentrate cause im so tired and all the work keeps piling up. my stupid chem exam is on friday that im gonna fail, i started studying about an hour ago for it and i realized i know nothing. literally nothing. history paper = death. english = death. i cant wait to be done. another reason im not sleeping is cause im confused.. justin and i broke up the other day and i really truly thought it was for the best, but as much as that stupid boy drives me sssooo insane i miss him.. a lot. so now i dont know what to do. oh and my grandma is slowly deteriorating, she doesnt have much longer to live and im super close to her and all my grandparents (who are all alive, by the way) im finding it harder and harder to spend time with her cause she's totally lost it and makes no sense and its really hard for me to just sit there and pretend like everythings ok. oh and has anyone ever noticed how much people suck? sometimes i think i'd be better off with no friends at all. im really considering not going to grad.. it's going to be way too depressing for me. i'd rather sit at home in my pretty dress and watch one tree hill or something.

anyhow, thats all i can think of to whine about for now. i best be getting back to the lovely wallis warfield simpson and her lovely life.

hey everyone. its time for yet another boring, half-assed update..

not much is new. spring break is nice, but it just kinda feels like another random week off school, not really spring break. surprisingly enough, i'm doing things and hanging out with people. i made some cool new friends from vic high at jordan's surprise party and downtown etc. so im hanging out with them, car and PR all spring break, its pretty exciting. i also found a new boy toy, which is always fun and exciting. its about time... i needed a distraction from duncan boy and derrick. oh yes and i went on a kick ass shopping trip with torie yesterday. twas fun, except for the whole payless fiasco. dont ask.

sooo my mother is mad at me for leaving her... she gets mad at me for the stupidest little things and finds any excuse to be pissed off at me all the time. im trying not to spend any time in the house, but shes still managing to find things to get mad about. whatever. 5 months and i'm outta here. I CANT WAIIIITTT!!!!!!!! i'm soooooooooooooooo frickin excited :D

i must be off.. breakfast awaits. ciao for nowwww

calgary was good. kind of. we came in 4th. and i wouldnt usually say this but we got completely fucked over by the umpires but meh whatcha gonna do.

i ended up spending most of sunday in the hospital in calgary after almost collapsing twice during the weekend. turns out i'm way more fucked up than i thought i was. i have to get more blood work done here in victoria to find out what the underlying problem is, because apparently it is quite clear that there is one. my coach had a big long talk with me.. she says that i'm a very high energy person and i put a lot of effort and energy into everything i do, which is probably bringing me down. she says i focus too much on other people and try to help them too much, when really i need to be helping myself first. so i'm supposed to take some "me" time and get myself better.. which is kind of hard when i dont know whats wrong.

i have no fucking clue what to do next year. uvic, u of a and now i'm even considering u of c. no idea. when i got home yesterday all my mom said was "you better get a hold of this problem laura, because universities don't like high maintenance athletes." i really wanted to tell her to go fuck herself. i'm considering not playing in university next year. i'm at the point where i really dont give a fucking shit about field hockey anymore.

this new semester should be absolute hell. woohoo

why cant this year just fucking be over all ready?

I never realized what a hermit I am until today.

Here's my routine:
- go to school
- go for a run
- do my homework
- in bed by 10

Sometimes I really live it up and do my homework before my run. Wow. I'm such a rebel. The sad part is, I dont really have a problem with being a hermit. I only have 1 maybe 2 true friends so its not like I have a bunch of friends to be spending time with. All I do is study and play field hockey. Speaking of which, I must get back to studying.

hey kids. so i don't really have anything to update about.. but i'll tell you about my boring life anyways..

before christmas i didnt really do much.. i hung out with my aunt and went to the gym. yes, laura fairbairn went to the gym. its a phenomenon really. a miracle if you will. so yes, i am getting my sorry ass in shape for my FIRST GAME BACK!! January 4th babyyy!! im so excited, i can barely contain myself.

christmas itself wasnt all too eventful... woke up at the crack of dawn (my little brother made me) and opened up my presents with the family. then more family came over for coffee, so i had to be all friendly and shit. i then had to kill like 5 hours before dinner, so i slept. i never realized how boring christmas is when you get older. when you're younger, you can just play with your toys all day, but now we dont really have much to do except play with our new ipods or whatever. so ya, then i headed off to dinner with the other side of the family which was actually rather eventful now that i think about it. my mother, aunt and uncle (who are not married.. from different sides of the family) decided to get really really drunk.. and it was really really funny. my aunt kept telling me how i was her favourite neice or nephew (i think she had trouble deciding if i was a neice or nephew), my uncle didnt say anything at all really, except about how he makes more money than everyone else and how hes still single, and my mom decided that she had a special bond with me, and she was very excited about this bond. she kept saying "laura we have a bond! a mother daughter bond!" i just had to nod and smile and say "all right mom.. ok.. lets not fall in the chip dip, all right. no mom, put the drink down you dont need another one" yes. now that i look back it was a rather eventful night indeed.

for christmas i got a few things: some money from various relatives, canucks vs. leafs tickets from my daddy(clearly the best present), AE jeans, a few zippy's, some more shoes, a jacket, a $50 gift certificate for some salon/spa from my grandpas financial advisor(someone i've never met.. thank you tom, whoever you are) annddd some pj's and bath stuff from la senza. twas a good christmas.

boxing day shopping was MAD!! i only lasted like 2 hours, and i only got one pair of pants. i couldnt handle the busy-ness, or the seeing of people i didn't want to see. ugh. sometimes people really suck, but whatcha gonna do.

yesterday derrick came back. yaaay. so i spent a massive 2 hours with him before he left again for somewhere.. i dont even know where. hes supposed to be back tomorrow but i dunno when and i dont wanna wait around for him and end up not going out on new years, cause that would really suck.. so i dunno what to do. but then again its not like i really have anywhere to go so meh. we shall see what happens. hope everyone had a great christmas and i hope you all have a kick ass new years!!

aaaahhhh. I'm finally HOME!!! It feels really good to be back.

So I've been in California for the past 2 and a half weeks. You'd think I'd have a super long entry about how wonderful my trip was, but I dont. It was all right. I was sick for most of it which sucked. And I missed everyone a lot. Namely Derrick because I knew I really wouldn't be seeing him till January. The one really good thing is that I bought my grad dress. I am revealing nothing except that it is really really pretty. Oh, and I bought like six pairs of shoes, which is also wonderful.

It is now winter break, and a boring break it will be. Almost all my friends are leaving me. Oh well. I guess I'll have tons of time to do the work I missed when I was gone. Yesterday I hung out with Derrick all day and I gave him his present - a Lacoste shirt, you know the ones with the little crocodiles, which cost me a pretty penny, but he really really wanted it so I decided to be a good girlfriend for once and get him it. And now he's gone, so I'm alone. I always found it really hard to be alone over the holidays... but its only another couple of weeks. Does anyone know what they're doing for New Years? I know it seems like a long time away, but it always seems to creep up on me right after Christmas. Let me know. Ciao for now!

Life is good. I might even go as far as saying life is great. I love it when everything seems to just fall in place perfectly.

This past weekend was super good and very relaxing, which is exactly what I needed. Thursday night Derrick came over, Friday night I went to Derrick's and Saturday night he came over again. I love it. I've all ready turned him into such a homebody cause I'm a loser and never go out anymore. Other than that I spent my weekend doing homework and catching up, which is also something I had to do.

I don't know what to do with myself on weekdays anymore - I'm so used to reluctantly going off to practice everyday and now that I can actually go home and make good use of my time, I don't want to. So I don't. It's wonderful. Yesterday was a phenomenal day in general. Derrick came over after school and we watched Toy Story. Man oh man do I love Disney movies. My little brother had a friend over and when he found out that Derrick was not my older brother he said "OOHHH its her BOYFRIEND!! Like not just a boy thats a friend but a BOYFRIEND!!! She's in loooooove with him!!!!".... what the hell do you say to a 6 year old kid who says that?? I didn't know what to say because I'd either say something inappropriate in front of the kindergarten's or I would offend Derrick.. so I just sat there and laughed awkwardly while my mother pissed herself laughing behind me. What a nice family I have. After Derrick left I went to Swan's downtown with the boys. It was a good time.

I went to the doctor today and he said I don't have to wear my big ugly splint all the time which is great! And chances are I wont need surgery unless I keep playing and break it more. I'm out till January still, but he said it's looking really good and that I should be just fine. So I get to drive up to flippin' Duncan this weekend and give them my note and watch them train for 3 hours. Whoopdeedoo. I can hardly contain my excitement. Now I'm off to get warm. I just went and watched Derrick's game in the frickin freezing cold and he didnt even score, but I got to give Alan his stick back. I'm gonna miss my baby.. anywho I hope everyone has a great weekend! I hope all you people who are not having such a good time right now feel better - things pretty much can't get any worse so they can only get better right? Ciao for now!
