December

As I am blogging I am blasting Avicii I'm not sure why i like this type of music. But it works. It's going to be on my workout playlist that's for sure. 


So what's been happening? I saw my favourite comedian Jon lajoie. Oh wow so offensive and so brilliant. It was so worth the 30 dollars. I also have a rubber bracelet that says SHOW ME YOUR GENTIALS. Plus twas nice to go with Ray. We hardly ever hang out but when we do it's always gts. 


Classes have officially ended and my first exam is on saturday. I'm not worried about it since it's open book it's more my history final that is keeping me up at night. However I've done more then study this week. In the past while I've acquired a dress and shoes for my cousins wedding. which i leave for a week tomorrow. I've started yoga. i enjoy it and feeling more flexible when i leave the class. I have my own yoga mat too. It's nice to do something like this with my mum as well. 


I went to Two Door Cinema Club on Tuesday night. I love Irish Men. That is all. The Beaver Christmas Party was a success and we go to the Stanley park Christmas train next week. I can't remember the last time I went but I use to go every year with my cousins. Same with the Halloween Train. 


Now I barely see those cousins...it's a shame really. 


So the next while goes like this. Friday study study study, Saturday write exam, go shopping for a mask, then help volunteer with my mum at a dinner then possibly go shopping. Then work for 8 hours sunday.Go to the train Monday night. Then study study study till tuesday. Write final. Do an incredible happy dance. possibly go out and party . Get girly for the wedding . Leave that friday come back sunday. Then commence as much work as physically possible over Christmas Break! 


Here's to becoming filthy rich
As well it I am no longer going to Ontario in Feb. I might try and go for a weekend in march? will see? The whole main reason I'm going is to see someone and he's not there that week. Plus that weekend is RoVent and Megadeth. 


I can't believe it's 16 days till Christmas that is just so shocking. Time flies..

The Peak Performance Project

That's what I went to Thursday. Boy was it amazing. The Matinee has wicked Banjo and Guitar. Current Swell has amazing trombone and slide guitar. And the Boom Boom's really know how to get a crowd going.


I was in the very front at one point and have a couple tshirts from this amazing show. Plus I enjoyed noodle box and tried Cafe Crepe. I love food adventures.


Now for the weekend.


I went to see my friend Melissa's film at BCIT entitled Grad of the Year. I really enjoyed it. Very funny and very well made. I then went shopping with my mum and acquired a dress for my cousin's wedding which is next month. I not only look classy, I look grown up and a little sexy. It's a little black dress but it's perfect. 


Saturday was our bottle drive. In total we raised 1065 dollars . That evening I went curling with my parents. We won 3 games, lost 2 and tied 1. Not bad considering this is my second time playing. I also voted. Because if you don't vote you can't complain. 


Sunday i worked. We are officially open for skiing. Only certain runs though. And as each shift goes on, more and more things go wrong and I go....why am I still here? By this I mean we just finished matienance on the red tram and as I start my shift I get warnings that it's still stalling and I might have to slow down when i dock. Oy..


I also had a good cry yesterday Internet. I'm keeping everything bottled up. Just because I blog about it doesn't mean I feel better. I am extremely jealous of her I hate that she's dating him and I want them to break up. But I keep that to myself. 


I dislike how I feel and how I look but I did go to the Gym on Thursday and am starting Yoga on Thursday. I've always wanted to try it and now  I shall.


I am handing in my magazine story , starting my final one soon, finishing off my paper, finishing my documentary, and giving my last speech tomorrow night.


Then it's finals.


It's crunch time

About as Helpful as You can Be without Being any Help at All

My favourite song off Dan Mangan's new album Oh Fortune. Which by the way the concert was epic. I now  own the cracklings cd and it's signed and the other opening band the Daredevil Christopher Wright was pretty good too. 


Thursday I lounged about and had a quiet day. It was lovely. Friday was Remembrance Day. A day in which we take time to remember those who have fought and died for our country. Since I can recall I have gone to the Cenotaph participated in the parade in my uniform and then had lunch with my Great Uncle Joe who fought in World War 2. 


Next year I'm going to the Legion with him and I'm buying the first round. After lunch I went out flyering for the upcoming bottle drive. It was windy it started hailing it was rather crazy weather. 


That night I went out to the Arkells. and I saw Dan there :) so that was awesome. Saturday was more a lay about day but I did some work. In fact I had the house to myself so it was rather quiet. 


Yesterday I worked and the wind will be the death of me. Nothing is more terrifying then being on that tram when it's windy. Nothing. Even on the blue tram which has better clearance. and according to some of my coworkers we were on standby yesterday evening. A weird way of saying we can't run the tram till the wind calms down. 


I've handed in my photo essay so my week is off to a good start. I have laundry that needs to be done and all sorts of other organizing that needs to happen. and there is less then 3 weeks of classes left so I should probably start cramming for finals next week.


I finish them on the 13th which is superb then I'm off to my cousins wedding. But I still haven't found a dress and I need to do that.


Here's to this week!

So begins the month of facial hair

November has had an interesting start. A bad midterm mark, a good speech, a really bad transit ride.


But ROGER WATERS IS COMING BACK TO VANCOUVER TO PERFORM THE WALL


So it's ok. I am beyond stoked. And I also scored floor tickets to Megadeth . So I'm already stoked for the new year. 


My papers are going well. I did really well at my driving course and spent the afternoon in the states with my Dad. I have Nyan cat shirt , new plugs and rings. Good haul in my opinion.


I have laundry that needs to be done, workouts to plan, and other such things to organize. Next week is DAN MANGAN! <3 plus the Arkells.


Not gonna lie I really wish I wasn't working tomorrow. I'm craving something new...I need to get off that mountain. I need something closer. 


Ontario is going to happen come hell or high water. I've almost decided what classes I want next semester and have an awesome registration date. 


And to all my gentleman friends growing hair this month? Good luck to you all

In our town of Halloween

Same title post for my Word press...I'll try and be more creative. I promise!


But yes Halloween. A holiday to some. Not in my opinion. I think it's pretty hallmark oriented and since it's not socially acceptable for me to go get candy anymore it's not my thing. I went to the Halloween Dances in Highschool, did a couple costume one year but last year...I worked. I know I'm terribly exciting


This year however was my best friends 19th on Halloween weekend so I couldn't not dress up. I really wanted to get out of it but sadly I could not. I originally was going to go as Snow White but the costume sold out. Instead I went as a game of Twister. it was 30 dollars including the tights I had to buy. Good deal in my humble opinion. 


So I went out on Saturday partied hard danced and had lovely time with my friends. It's great now that my girlfriends and I are turning 19 or already are 19 .


Sunday i hung out and chilled and then saw one of my favourite bands live. Jack's Mannequin. Oh my god. What a show. Andrew McMahon I want you. Enough said. In fact my previous blog was titled after there 1st album. I love there lastest album. I have a shirt and I hope I can see them again soon.


Now commences a long week for me. Finishing my history paper, starting my new media literature review, starting my photo essay, prepping for a seminar, beaver campfire, plus a driving course, plus work....oy.


I plan to work all sunday's this month. I need as much in the bank as possible. I need Ontario to happen. In fact Robert and I are texting more and he's excited to see me visit. Teehee.
Jealousy was never my thing and now I'm really jealous of him. But her more so. If I was older things would be different. My life story.

Saturday 22 October 2011

You don't need to hide my friend. For I'm just like you.

Dubstep? Most like it. Most hate depends who you talk to. I enjoy it. It makes for great running music actually.


Last night I met up with Mizz Bruce we got dolled up headed out to Surrey hopped into a limo and partied all the way out to the concert. Mizz Black was in the limo as well. Shots were taken lots of alcohol was consumed. What can I say? I'm done midterms time to party. :)


Speaking of I survived them. I got a B on one, B on a paper, A on my presentation. Can I get a booyah? Maybe I can handle 5 courses. That's surprising. 


Skrillex = Epic. What bass. What sound. Too bad I had to take care of a drunk friend but photos were taken memories were made and I got a shirt as per usual. Limo dropped me off at home and off to bed I went. 


Friday was great but even Wednesday night I went out downtown. Hit up an irish pub and a hipster pub? bar? not sure. Good times were had regardless.


I'm feeling lonely but my heart is still confused and unsure and I'm perfectly content with being by myself till at least 2012.


Here's to another week of school, a Beaver Halloween party, and an epic weekend of clubbing and Jack's Mannequin.

To be Thankful (But to Change)

I am thankful internet. I am thankful for the roof over my head, my parents who give me freedom, a sister who usually loves me as well a job that provides me with income as well my funded education


But things have to change.


I'm not just talking about the fact that I should shed pounds or should stop and enjoy the small things in life. I'm talking about the fact that there are things I wish to accomplish or even plan and it's not happening.


Starting now things will change. I shall use blogging and other various outlets to keep track of these changes. 


It stuns me. It really does. How much changes in a year. or doesn't change. I made the right choice. Even if it does keep me up at night. 


The first being booking my N test and getting my gym membership I MUST get these done this week. 


Now back to reality


I worked all weekend and had a lovely Paterson Thanksgiving. My baby cousins are growing so fast and are so adorable. I'm hoping to see them more before the year is out. And I am getting even MORE excited for my cousins Wedding in December. Should be gt's for sure.


This week is midterm prep, Young the Giant, work and then Apple Day with more studying. If I can survive midterms my reward is Skrillex.


Score.

October

October a month full of turkeys and ghosts. Well not just that but it's a major part of it. October has not had a great start I must say I missed Mardigras this year due to my wonderful education. I had homework and reading that needed to be done and I am happy to report that it's all been taken care of. 


I went on a mini adventure of grocery shopping down to the states with the parents that was fun. Thank you Nexus card you are wonderful. And I got a somewhat decent part time pay check on Friday.


School School School. That's all that's on my mind right now. well that's a lie. But it's a big part of it. The other part is my constant weight issue. I've mentioned it before how I loose weight in ALL the WRONG places. Ie I still lack a ba donk a donk and I have amazing legs now..but sadly I lack the core that will allow me a naval piercing


Sorry i really don't feel like being like the rest of the girls my age who get it and REALLY shouldn't. Not saying there fat..but I have very prominant love handles and middle and it really sucks. 


So what's the plan? Protein internet. I don't get enough of it even though I am vegetarian and eat fish. Hopefully some nutrition changes along with more gym time will add up! I'm hoping by my cousins wedding I will be super fabulous. 


I also intend to cut back how much I'm working since I truly feel I can't handle working so much and going to school. Le sigh such is life and come December i'll be my workaholic self again making tons of dough for my travel plans


Here's to a LONG week filled with a doctor's appointment, the gym, 2 presentations and an essay as well as 8 hours of work. PLUS the long weekend is coming and I'm working during that as well.


Hurrah indeed

Monday 26 September 2011

Texaco Bitches & Skinny Love

An epic weekend to say the least. So friday I went on a second date with cute book store guy. To be honest not sure if there will be a third. I'm tired of intiating said hang outs so I'm gonna wait and see. 


On friday I saw my friends in there jammin band No Island. I wish I could have stayed for the whole show sadly I had work. I worked a full eight then went to Broken Social Scene and Ra Ra Riot. An excellent show. I then worked another full eight and went to Bon Iver which was simply amazing. 


Tshirts from both shoes along with wonderful cellphone pictures because I'm a dorkus. 


So what now? Reality. 


History Essay which I need to start despite the fact that it's due in November, a reflection paper, speech for this week, presentation next week, and a magazine analysis. Plus two midterms coming up next month. Did I mention I'm still doing beavers and now working 3 days a week plus the long weekend?


Yeah.


Travel plans is what I tell myself and that seems to help. 


Future concerts include Skrillex with Mizz Bruce and Adrienne Black, Jack's Mannequin, Dan Mangan for the third time, The Arkells and Jon Lajoie. I also purchased tickets to Marianas trench and am taking Tiffany alongside my sister. 


Yes I know I have a problem.


Oh did I mention that Brad went to the Dan Mangan secret show and not only got the new cd signed for me with TO CHEEZY but Dan also remembers me from April? ayep

Thursday 15 September 2011

As I struggle through each & every year.

Totally digging the new Blink album. Yes I promise I'll order it. That is when I get my new credit card.


Karma i feel exists after this week.


Monday I went paragliding. Holy shit was it ever amazing. If you do one thing before your die I hope it's paraglide. What a rush...what a thrill! I think the best part about it though is it was all me. I decided to go. I paid for it. No one really egged me on. It all came from me. Also my pilot was really hot. So that's a bonus


Oh hello North Vancouver I didn't see ya there.


So that was Monday. I then got a gym membership courtesy of the Grandparents. So days off and weekends. Gym for an hour. No backing out. I am committing to this.


However this awesomeness would not last. Tuesday I was running late for class and while at Kootney Loop I left my wallet on the bus pass. I missed that bus for class and missed my Culture of Advertising class. However it looks like there are still good people in the world because somebody managed to turn it in. Everything intact as well.


I picked up a new Animals Shirt and an earring. Shameless purchase but I've had a rough week alongside loosing wallets Father is being a super grump for whatever reason so I've been hiding in my room alot lately. 


Last night was registration for my Scout Group. We have a bunch of new beavers cubs and Scouts! I am so excited for this! I also have Mardigras booked off and can't wait to camp!


Lots of reading ahead but yet I only have 2 midterms and finals. A bunch of papers and a video documentary. Oh second year I am so stoked on you


Here's to surviving a weekend of work and going for a run with my mother at the crack of dawn. It's not the waking up early part its the 6k run part I'm worried about
//

Saturday 10 September 2011

Commence 2nd year.

It's going to be amazing Internet. So far only two christmas exams . 2 midterms a video project and a bunch of papers. This pleases me greatly. Along with the 7 speeches I have to give this semester. Also...for some reason this semester seems shorter...for whatever reason.


Cute book store guy is single and we are texting this is also amazing. In fact school has got some really awesome eye candy going on right now. So wonderful. Like so so so so wonderful. Ugh that sounded bad but oh well. 


I worked a full 8 and was actually training people today. I felt a lot of independence but despite that I know I need to leave this place soon. I need to travel or intern next summer.


I went to the gym and in some ways I have improved . In some I have not. But I have 11 more sessions and in this month it's crunch time. More water less snacks and extending commute to and from school with copious amounts of walking.


Monday. paragliding. No backing out.


Tomorrow work and getting a start on my reading which I might actually try and do tonight. I also need to set up my new notebooks and all that. As well as organize my new backpack. 


I have a lot of reading which means I should probably be spending my evenings taking notes and reading instead of blogging mindlessly. 


Bring it on 2nd year. I am so ready for you

August is Over

A really good We the Kings song. But that is not the band I wish to talk about right now.




HOLY CRAP. Blink 182 was a mosh pit beyond belief. I got so close to Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance and Mark and Tom. And oh god Travis and is floating drum solo was beyond epic. The floor was tough due to stupid crowd surfers kicking my head but frick that was amazing and so worth it. I have two tshirts since I'm lame and had extra money to spend from being paid back. And I plan on ordering some stuff online.


I really wish i had taken you with me.....you are pretty much the only reason I listen to Blink <3


Now August is over. It's back to school and back to trying to become an adult and change who I am. My mother and father want to see a change in my behaviour and I understand that. 


I hope to see a couple of my cousins that are in town. I have a new spiffy tablet that I've been playing with as well I hope to do some photography before back to school.


Things will change. I will feel pretty. I will get thinner in places I actually want. 


This is growing up.
//

Tuesday 30 August 2011

Well I guess this is growing up

One more day till what I consider the most epic part of my summer arrives. Did that make sense? In my head it did.


As of today I am the proud owner of Asus Tablet. I look forward to second year and using this for dictation instead of hauling my laptop back and forth. Pay day is this week this also pleases me. I worked back to back kinda by accident so I'm rather tired this evening. That being said work was decent but I'm now finding more and more reasons to leave this job come the spring. 


I fully intend on staying through the winter especially with a current prediction that it will be like last winter. I make more then I did last winter therefore I shall rake in some serious cash.


I am ordering textbooks this week, getting my student card and U pass and other such things. of course I'd like to do this Thursday but I don't know if I can since work has still not released a schedule yet. September is 2 days away. This is less then pleasing.


That being said summer on the mountain has been great and I'm glad I got the experience. Meeting celebs making friends with the regular hikers and hey it beats Wendy's which is where I was over a year ago. That seems so long ago now...in fact thinking back to last summer and where I was and where I am now is quite amazing. I personally feel. 


I plan to go for a run on my day off as well look into the gym at school and do something there. I have these long breaks and a day off and I need to be more productive then just my mind. That being said I imagine during exam time I'll drop 15 pounds like last time due to stress, lack of sleep, and odd eating habits.


I'm really on a rant right now I'm not sure where my mind is racing considering I had that strong coffee hours ago but ah well .


Here's hoping tomorrow will be amazing and that I can party into the wee hours I would truly love that. It would make my August and possibly my Summer.
//

Friday 26 August 2011

It's Friday?

I was out at Rolley lake for 3 days with my closest friends. We drank swam in the lake made smores the whole 9 yards. We had epic bonding moments photos were taken and memories were made.

It was nice to camp and actually have a fire since a fire ban isn't on right now. I can't remember the last time I went camping in the summer and that was the case. Seriously. I slept fairly well but it's nice to be back in civilization where there is cellphone service and flush toliets.



Blink 182 is 5 days away. Holy crap Internet. I cannot express how freaking excited I am for this.


Now I actually have to go out and get school supplies, order books, get a netbook of sorts and mentally prepare myself the wonderfulness that is 2nd year University. Yes Cap is a University. Not for very long but it is. Get over it.


2nd year draws close. It's thrilling. 
//

Monday 22 August 2011

I'm feeling this.

Yep. Had to crank out more Blink lyrics since the show is next week. Again I remind you of how freaking excited I am for this show. It's gonna be epic internet.


It rained. And I mean rain. It poured so work was absolutely dead and quiet. Which was nice but still. I'm currently in the midst of last minute planning of a camping trip with my ladies. I need it. I need to get away and spend some quality time with the besties. Plus it would be nice to have some actual days off. 


Countdown to school gets closer and closer. I managed to detox a lot of my room today but I really feel that no matter what I do it's always gonna end up being a mess. However I got rid of a lot of clothes. So now I have an excuse to shop. 


I looked at some of the Blink merch. Oh my god. Want shirt hoodie hat bracelet tank. all of it. cause I'm cool like that. 


I miss my bird guy. And I hate that.
I also miss the memories of Captain Awesome. Despite how less then awesome he ended up being.


I miss dating period.
I feel lonely. And it's pathetic but what can ya do?

Thursday 18 August 2011

Some things never change.

I find this is very true for some people. Myself included. 


I met up with you today. I can't remember the last time I saw you. (now I can but in the moment I couldn't). You've changed but yet are still the same. I'll believe more when i see it. You've always been talk and nothing more. It's why we ended. Or at least one of the major reasons of our downfall.


Yes I am jealous. Only slightly. I think I'm allowed to be. Maybe not. I won't act on it. Don't worry. 


Enjoying the solitude now. I'm not gonna date someone who clearly loves someone else. Friends for now. Back to my main life problem the ones I wish to date wish to be friends. The ones I want as friends want to date. Such is life..

Things are coming to an end. And by things I mean summer. Soon it'll be school and seeing friends on weekend. That is if my 5 courses don't kill me. Here's hoping i can get my N before 2012 but that looks slim at this point. Ah well here's hoping I prove myself and my father wrong. 


Blasting the Blink the concert is less then 2 weeks away. I am beyond stoked internet. I also hope to work the entire September long weekend and collect major money. In fact I'm excited cause tomorrow is pay day. 


I watched the documentary film The Cove and now I fear about all the fish i eat. No I don't eat dolphin but our oceans are filled with mercury which is in fish which is the only meat I eat. I think after that I am reducing how much fish I consume. Since I'd rather not die from mercury posioning. 


Next week is camping with my high school ladies. I really need it now.

Saturday 13 August 2011

Drunken speeches on Sobriety..

Oh Marianas trench. I adore thee. I can't wait for your new album! 


I went out on the town last night. Partied a little hard but sadly I really wasn't in a super party hard mood. I tried to be...but wasn't. I'll blame the fact that you're leaving and I will probably never see you again unless I actually manage to save enough money to see you and if you come back to Vancouver next summer.


My tuition has been payed. I remain debt free even with my credit card. Go me. I'm trying to organize my life but I seem to lack the motivation to get started.


I'm rather blue internet. All because of a boy. It gets worse with my commute to work because I keep finding myself thinking about my life and what needs to change. Mostly people in it. People who don't treat me as I treat them. 


Problem is how do you cut people out of your life when we live in a world of facebook? I don't think I can be as brutally honest as I want to be. Mostly because I'm trying to avoid conflict. 


Driving is going well internet. I'm slowly but surely getting there.  As well as I apparently look thinner whilst I still don't see results. I am going to TRY and do the grind after work tomorrow. It's rather dependent on how crowded it is. 


I need it to be the end of August ....I need Blink 182 to hurry up and arrive. I want my work schedule. I just need things to happen..and things to change
//

Sunday 7 August 2011

But I don't get out much these days.

Dan Mangan? You continue to rule. I also have tickets to your show in Van and might go to your Victoria show. Seriously. Can't wait for your new album.


So what's been happening. Work. Lots of it. I worked a stat holiday and made time and half. I am rather excited for my next pay cheque. 


Seeing this amazing guy. I do mean amazing. The only downside is it will only be temporary. I know this and it will hurt when he leaves until then I shall enjoy the remainder of summer and other hangouts. 


Tuition is going to be paid this week as well I plan to focus more on my diet. I had a break down with my self esteem/image in regards to my excersize and lack of results. I told my mother too much and she was completely unaware of how I really felt about my image. She really thinks I should talk to someone that isn't her. But I truly feel that talking about this will change nothing. It has to come from me. The change. And it won't come till I see results. I will finish working out with my trainer and if nothing comes of it. I will be utterly frustrated. My mother says she can see a difference but I'm seeing it in all the wrong places. (still don't have an ass) 


So for now I'm going to try and shift my focus on other things.


Driving. it's getting there here's hoping by the new year (or before I'm 20 ) i can obtain my N. That would be wonderful. 


I'm always in a weird place internet. I still feel like something is missing from my life. So I'm going to try and take more photos and hope that solves it. 


Trying to score tickets to Mamma mia! Here's hoping I can!

Smile fades in the Summer

One month till Blink Internet. Get stoked.


Summer. It's never really been my favourite season. I don't hate it but it's not my favourite. Because summer is never as awesome or as amazing as I ever wish it to be. Things get the way people go away. It never works out.


Work is ruining my social life. As much as I want to have money to spend come the fall and such. As well as money to save for future indepedent adventures. I feel like I'm missing out on life. I don't mean to sound cliche. But for example my girls are in the midst of planning a camping trip. I don't think I've seen them for more then a few hours since summer began. So 4 days would be awesome. But I'm afraid to book it off. Regardless I'll try and see what happens.


In other news my heart is confused. All future love interests seem to reside or a moving to central canada. This is frustrating. Of course I could just keep trying to be single and figure myself out but honestly I say that all the time and it never happens. Just like people who say I'm never drinking again..and then they do.


That being said Life is good . I'm stoked for pay day Blink and the rest of August. Photos and shennanigans to come.  As well I need to meet up with Michelle and do some planning for the upcoming scouting year. I gotta plan out beavers till at least December. And then figure out fundraising for CJ WM and WAM. 


I need to start cutting people out of my life again. And I really mean it this time internet. I put up with a lot of crap that is really quite ridiculous. As well I need to hit up the island AT LEAST once before back to school.


Also did I mention I plan to go Paragliding before I go back to school? Like scouting has taught me to bring on the adventure I figure why not. 


I hope the sun stays. It's rather lovely and I want REAL summer weather. More so real summer weather in which i can go to the beach and get a tan of sorts. 


Or at least try to! Here's hoping!

Camp Byng

I took this at Jamboree. Now I realize I've only had my camera for almost 2 years but I feel with each bit of practice I'm getting better and better. Here's hoping that my FloydFotography flickr will actually manifest into something. I'm gonna try and post more photos on here and see what comes of it

Day after day....love turns gray.

Or so it seems. Internet I'm in an open relationship this is something completely new to me and considering my avid dating history I'm surprised I haven't done this sooner. But i am now so here we go. 


So far it's good despite that he's getting paranoid. What's to worry about? We've been doing this for months and now we're calling it that. I'm not wanting to move in or marry you. I'm simply dating for the sake of dating. Nothing more nothing less. 


Speaking of love. Last night I worked the graveyard and worked a wedding. I despise and adore weddings. I guess I should be more specific I despise how DRUNK people get at weddings. Speaking of alcohol awhile ago i had to reassure my parents that I am not alcoholic and I am simply enjoying the novelty of being 19. It will most likely last till the end of the year which by then all my besties will be 19. It'll be great. 


Work is fine enough. I really want pay day to hurryup and arrive. I'm looking at quite a large pay cheque due to the OT I built up yesterday. So that's good.


I need to pay my tuition and get myself organized for school. It's rather important. I'm excited for second year. I'm gonna rock it. I'll probably stress complain and old habits may surface but school is temporary a few years from now I'll have a lovely piece of paper that I can call mine. And that's pretty important to me.


I miss friends. I miss seeing friends on a regular basis. I hope I can find a job that will let me have a bit more of a social life. 


Here's hoping.

Harry Potter

So I watched the "final" Harry Potter movie last night. Now I put it qoutes because knowing the film industry I KNOW they are going to make prequels and other spin offs of Harry Potter. All to do with money of course. So I truly feel this isn't the last we've seen of Harry.


I didn't hate it. Nor did I love it. I did not enjoy the last book very much so why would I enjoy the film? I think the epilogue is cheezie and hokey and parts of the film were rushed other parts too long.


Of course if any avid Harry Potter fan (which don't get me wrong I am) reads this I'm sure they will slit my throat. But that's neither here nor there.


This week has been kinda rough internet. It's hard coming back to reality when you've been gone in what feels like paradise for so long. I'm struggling with work in the sense that I don't really like the way things are run sometimes. and I wish to find better employment but the problem is I don't know anywhere that will hire that pays as well. 


But I'm tired of commuting. I really am. I doubt at this rate I'll be driving any time soon so i need to focus on the now.


I'm in an odd place. I guess I always am. But this week and right now are especially odd.

Pacific Jamboree 2011

Best part of my summer. I met a group from Quebec. Got sunburned danced in a field and got dusty because of it. Swam in a pool. Got a little heart broken got something I never thought would happen. Kept my Best friend as my best friend. Reconnected friendships made new ones. Enjoyed the rain. Loved the sun. Did not get enough protein. Snapped photos. Sorted myself out. Registered for classes. 


And so much more.


There are so many inside jokes and memories that I'll be holding on to for as long as I can. and just like last jamboree I'll keep making references to it. 


Thank you Scouting. Your politics and other issues make it difficult but jamborees are the reason (and other reasons) I'm still part of the largest youth organization in the world.

Today would have been the day...

Had things turned out differently. Had I not wanted different things. Had the break actually been successful and you gave me my space. Today would have been 2 years for us.


I wonder if we will ever reach a norm? You asking for a CD back is not such..


So today was kinda awesome and it wasn't suppose to be. Kayla's dad gave me his ticket to the Black Key's show at Deer Lake which was rather wonderful. I went driving worked out then went to the concert!


Cage the Elephant did a great opening and the Black Keys just rocked it. I consumed pizza mini donuts and got myself a wicked tshirt. My mother asked me if I buy one after every show I see and I said....well not every single one. Teeehee.


T-minus one day till PJ. I am still stoked. Got some epic plans for it and I can't wait to meet everyone.

Dropkick Murphy's

Talk about epic nights. Last night with my friends Michael and Matthew I went to see the Drop Kick Murphy's at the Commodore Ballroom. In which i consumed a jaggerbomb 3 whisky sours and double long island ice tea. I met two guys from the Yukon who barriacded around us so that I wouldn't die from moshing.


I got up on stage and sang with the Band. My leg has a lovely gash on it because of it but my god was it ever worth it! 


I have two gym workouts a driving lesson plus a bunch of girly shopping and other girly things before PJ 11. Which is only 3 days away as of today. I am so excited internet. I can't even explain.


It's funny how you want it back but yet haven't made much of an effort to get it. Seriously. What is your deal?


True Blood Season 4 premiers tonight. Another thing I'm stoked for. I think I might go take my doggies for a walk. Get some Vitamin D with the gorgeous sun that has finally revealed itself. 


My mind is racing. So much to look foward to. It's wonderful

On Holiday. If Only For Awhile

I took a few days off before PJ. Because I really needed a break. I am however gonna miss whilst at camp not just because of money but I really like the people and the overall atmosphere of where I work.


So here's my weekend

  • 1130 consult with lasers....
  • Hang with Keith get music from him!
  • Clean pack for the night
  • Head out to Ridge
  • Party hard
  • Wake Up Go home clean to go an Open House
  • Meet the Canucks? (hopefully I shall)
  • Get dolled up and go downtown
  • Drop Kick Murphies
  • Pass out at home
So yeah. It's gonna be interesting. Plus I have to pack for PJ. And try and buy some stuff that I'll need whilst away. 


Also. As much as I'm excited to party with them Rovers.....I really hope you'll be civil. Mind you we don't even talk so it doesn't really matter....it's all up to you.

Too Little Too Late.

I think I've missed my chance with ya. And maybe it's for the better. Right now is not the time. And maybe it will never be the right time. But whatever happens happens......no worries for now.

Currently on the University website figuring out courses and such. Tis lovely that I have no holds on my account. Seriously. so good! 

Worked then worked out. I killed it at the gym. I'm impressed with my determination sometimes. I'm really pushing myself. I have two appointments before I leave back to back. I will most likely regret this. 

I need to redye my hair buy some earrings and other things as well prep for my weekend ahead.

I found something today I thought I had lost. I want the other part back. And I hope I'll get it back

Summer Solstice.

As of 10:16 am today it is officially Summer. It actually felt and looked like today. I hung out with my friend Jacob had delicious mongolian grill ate some marble slab ice cream and walked the sea wall. What a great way to kick off summer.  It was brilliant sunshine up at work today and although I am slightly dreading the crowds in the summer I am still overall pleased with work and the money I'm making.


However being a team leader sucks. especially since with the title that would mean that I should get higher pay. But alas this is not the case. 


Yesterday i worked 8 hours then went to the gym for an hour then went to the mall. I am so exhuasted internet it's not even funny. However I have a more defined waist and plan to hit the gym at least 3 more times before I leave for PJ next Wednesday. 


That's right. Almost one week till Jamboree. I hope can blog a bit whilst I'm away though i shall be taking a journal with me like last time. I also hope this week i can update my flickr and prepare the copious amounts of photos I'll be taking whilst away at camp. 


The rest of the week has plans of work party hard and packing as well as a driving lesson and possible baby sitting. After that it's camp camp camp. I am le sad about missing a pay check but alas I shall survive. ....for now.


The song Feeling This has been on repeat on my Ipod for awhile now. As well as Awake my Soul. I think too much when I listen to music. I really need to stop.

Father's Day

Today is Father's Day. I am very lucky to have the father I have. As hard as high school was dealing with him. I wouldn't trade him for the world. 


I'm trying to reach out here. I'm trying to be a friend. Not sure why.But I'm trying . Especially cause of today.


It's been nice to have a couple days off from the gym. I went out Friday watched Green lantern which was a less then satisfying movie but Ryan Reynolds is super abliscious so it's ok. Then we bought liqour had a campfire and discussed Epic meal time in great detail. Then it became saturday i did some cleaning but mostly lazed about and went to a birthday dinner. Twas rather lovely. I got my Rover Shirt and went out for Ice Cream thereafter! 


I worked extra early today and not gonna lie work was a bit of a gong show. There wasn't enough staff and people kept bitching about the weather and I wanted to kill someone by the end of my shift. Seriously. We went out for dinner and my dad liked his Father's day present so all is well.


I came to a realization the other day. I'm terrified. I'm absolutely terrified. I'm terrified to date internet. Despite how I feel about a certain boy. I'm too scared. Why? Mostly due to the last break and several before. I always crush the guy. I feel like literally destroy them.


I hope this soon will pass....

Canucks (A Post About the Riots)

So let me start this off by saying. I AM NOT A BANDWAGONER. I don't LOVE hockey but nor do I hate it. I simply enjoy getting into the spirit. Same with the Olympics.
I truly thought our boys could do it. I really thought tonight we would finally take home the Stanely Cup. Sadly this not the case. As sad as I am about it there isn't much we can do. However for almost 3 hours it's been non stop news about the riots occuring downtown. Cars being set on fire. Tear gas. Rubber Bullets. Massive Crowds. The whole 9 yards.
I'm embarassed Internet. Although I am not "from Vancouver" I am embarassed to be referred to as a Vancouverite. People have told me this isn't as bad as 94 but this is still embarassing. I do appreciate however how the police were a bit more prepared but it still seems they are struggling to control the crowds as we speak. I'm actually thankful that I had to work today and missed the game. I really am.
I realize that this site isn't broadcasted that much and I doubt that any rioter will read these words but i say this. The people who had the intention to start a riot were going to do regardless of the outcome of the game. They are idiots and the lowest of the lows. I truly wish people weren't so awful here's hoping Darwin kicks in and changes that up. They have ruined the night and have tainted the reputation of canucks fans. Also to the various news stations  do not compare this to G20 that's just ridiculous.

Blink 182- Man Overboard


So sorry it's over
So sorry it's over

There's so much more that I wanted and
There's so much more that I needed and
Time keeps moving on and on and on
Soon we'll all be gone

Let's take some time to talk this over
You're out of line and rarely sober
We can't depend on your excuses
Cause in the end it's fucking useless

You can only lean on me for so long
Bring your ship about to watch a friend drown
Stood over the ledge
Begged you to come down
You can only lean on me for so long

I remember shots, without a chaser
absent minds thoughts, now you're a stranger
Cover up the scars
Put on your game face
Left you in a bar
To try and save face

You can only lean on me for so long
Bring your ship about to watch a friend drown
Stood over the ledge
Begged you come down
You can only lean on me for so long

So sorry it's over
So sorry it's over

There's so much more that I wanted and
There's so much more that I needed and
Time keeps moving on and on and on
Soon we'll all be gone

Man on a mission
Can't say I miss him around
Insider information
Hand in your resignation
Loss of a good friend
Best of intentions I found
Tight lipped procrastination
Yeah later
See you around

(I think about a lot when I listen to this. Especially the last verse)

Changes.

So I'm rather upset that I'm working nights but honestly seeing Vancouver lit up at night has got to be one the most spectacular views I've ever seen. It's just stunning. 


That being said I'm starting off my week rather productive. I've maintained my credit card debts and have been constantly checking and paying it off. I'd like to be debt free. As well yesterday i formally applied to switch to a Bachelor of Communications. This I am really excited about. If I am accepted into this program. (and I see no reason why I wouldn't be) I would get to intern in my 4th year whilst attending school. Now I realize that I probably won't graduate in 4 years and that's ok . It's frustrating but I'll deal. This degree is going to give me a lot of options and that pleases me greatly. 


I called Coastal sound and left a message. That's right internet. I'm getting back into singing. I really really really hope I can book audition and get in. being part of a Choir again would just complete the upcoming school year for me. Not sure how I'll manage 4 courses choir scouting and part time. But in Grade 12 I had 3 choirs scouting band and managed to survive. As well i managed to work and survive 1st year so i think with time management I can do it all.


I went to the gym again and although I'm stiff as anything I just keep thinking of the end result. I already feel better (Yay endorphins) and love my trainer. I'm going tomorrow and friday and hopefully a few more times before PJ. 


I'm getting organized and I feel rather content with my life. I still don't know what's missing but I'm gonna keep on living and not really worry about it. 


I ran into a friend yesterday whilst transitting home. In Grade 12 we were tight alongside another friend. We even made a trio name. We were all rather different but we got a long so well. It really frustrates me that not even a year out of high school he just didn't make enough effort to stay in touch. As selfish as this sounds I'm truly tired of forcing friendship and if you can't make an equal effort then really..what is the point?


In fact I'm having some issues with religion lately and how it's effecting my friendship. I'm trying to let it not. But it is.


I don't hate on my friend for losing touch in fact I called him out on it and he has a lot going on. And I know everyone does. but seriously I spent all of last summer trying to get a hold of him and he couldn't be bothered. We hung out once the 3 of us in the fall and I haven't hung out with him since. 


I should really put pants on. And eat something. I have a long night ahead of me

Party Like it's not your Birthday

A lyric from a really cheezie and really bad song. But I love it anyway.


So yesterday.....was interesting. I woke up went to the gym and had serious work out. I was seriously sweating and out of breath afterwards. But I don't care I'm stoked that I'm gonna be healthy and more fit. it shall be good times for sure! :) besides Leanne is a great trainer and I'm having fun.


After the Gym I went to a PCC Rover Event. I learned about the crew and I got to meet and hear from the Chief Commissionair  of Scouts Canada. He has some interesting thoughts on the organization and where it's going. I was pretty much almost recruited to join the PCC Rover Crew. But I'm not sure if it's the right place for me. But hey will see what happens in the fall.


Then I booked it back to Burnaby and partied with my friend Jessy. I made my first legal purchase and it was grand. We drank and watched a bunch of Animaniac cartoons. However I do feel somewhat awkward about some of the events that happened last night. We shall what happens now.


I have a long week a head of me or at least it feels that way. I'm working nights till Thursday which means I'll be missing the two final hockey games. As well as I have tentative camping and movie plans. After paying off a bunch of stuff Saturday I really want my next pay check.


At least the sun is out today. it's simply gorgeous

Is it something I'll regret? Why do I want what I can't get?

Oh Wendy Clear. I adore you. Seriously. One of my fav Blink songs. I've been kinda blasting them h-core since I scored the tickets.


So I went back to the gym yesterday had a serious ab busting work out. I'm also a bit tired from two night shifts. But here's to having an actual weekend off! And then it back to night shifts. Whoo.


I like my job internet. Don't get me wrong. I work with amazing people crazy supervisors and I meet interesting tourists every day. However when I work nights my close time varies the ignorant hikers piss me off and I hate the commute most days.


So i vow that come next January I search for a new job. One that doesn't require crossing a bridge. Anyways I went to the gym and the work out felt good. I actually toned a little already since when I did my body comp I lost 3 pounds. Yet I look at my pants and they say otherwise. Seriously belts need more holes. Or I need smaller pants. One of the two. Anyways. Determined to tone up. I know I can before PJ. I don't want rock hard abs. I just want a stomach in which I could get my belly button pierced. I've wanted it for ever. It's really rather sad but I didn't wanna get unless I had a slimmer stomach


So there's that.


Tomorrow gym a rover dinner and party hard. Then a family dinner the next day. Whoo. These whoos are slightly sarcastic. I need to pick up red bull or something for these night shifts I'm way too tired. Honestly. I don't do the whole night owl thing.

Working Hard

So work wasn't that bad. But boy am I tired. There's some potential for me to have two jobs this summer. But hey will see what happens.


I'm in a pickle internet. My heart is confused. I still harbour all this regret towards my break up which was over 9 months ago but at the same time it might have been one of the best decisions I've made. I still look at photos and go what went wrong? (just like the Blink song ) I'm not quite sure sometimes. I know that right at the beginning year I was changing and thinking differently. And he wasn't. He was staying pretty stagnant. Which is fine.


But it's not what I want.


I want goals and aspirations. I want plans that actually happen. Not things that we just talk about and say will do one day. I'm not saying will go to England. But will plan a romantic get a way. And that'll work.


So what do I do? nothing for now. When things are ready I know they'll fall into place. That being said. I know almost for sure that I'm falling in love. I can't even talk around him sometimes.


It's so refreshing and exciting.

Today already sucks and it's not even noon.

I didn't get a chance to shower due to the fact that my little sister slept in again and used up all the hot water. I lost my ear piece which I may or may not need today. And I just realized now that I forgot my work jacket which I just washed. Plus I had to shove a lady to move since she was taking up way too much space in the doorway. 
Ugh I just want work to go by quick and although I've been invited to go out. I am now in no mood to go out . At least I have the weekend to look forward to! in
