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

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.
