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

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

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.
