Maybe Not.

So, maybe Christmas isn't so bad this year... my ring is so sparkly.

I love Swarovski.

grinch.

I think that I am going to attempt to sleep through Christmas this year. It is already 3 hrs over, only 21 more to go.

Long Time No Write.

So it has been almost a month since I have updated this.
I mean, not that my life changes all that much month-to-month, but a lot of things have been going on. Not only did I finally finish my undergrad (YAYYYYYY!!!!!!!), I also applied to the grad school I want to attend. That was a stressful situation as it was, but I don't really want to get into that. Other than working and stuff, I haven't really had much to report. I found out today I am getting my tuition refund for $383.00 after months of waiting. Extra money is always welcome.
I went to see the Nutcracker last week with Greg, which was amazing as always. I saw a few errors, but nothing too serious.

I really need to book my trip to Thailand....

I got nothing else.

Broken.

Guess it's just you and me, Lelo.

Sigh of Relief.

I have been so ridiculously busy lately, I have hardly had time for myself.
With my current job at BP and Credit Valley, I just got a new job as well, AND started volunteering with Canadian Blood Services, AND finishing my degree in December, I am wearing myself down. I always get upset with people when they cannot relax and are workaholics, then I realized that I am a certified workaholic.
I cut out Canadian Blood Services, and on the 6th of December I will have completed my undergraduate degree! THEN on December 15th, I will have completed my graduate school application. After that, I will only have 2-3 jobs which will be much more manageable. I need to enjoy my time before I head off to school again, and cannot get stuck in a routine of working non-stop. I do not like thinking on Wednesday that my next day off is NINE days from now (happened last week).
I am going to focus on my grad school application and finishing school.
Everything else should come second.

I really need to book that trip to Thailand. I need to get out of the country for perspective.

Dine and Dash.

Tonight was the first time in 5 1/2 years of serving that I had a legit dine and dash. They left almost an entire pitcher of beer, nachos and pizza. I have so much faith in humanity that I hoped they would return even after an hour of disappearance. I left their food and drinks out just in case. However, they did not return. They did look a little sketchy when they came in, but I'm not a very good judge of character initially. Oh well. It happens. Bless Boston Pizza for being legal and not making me pay - otherwise there would have been $67.00 gone from my pocket.
The rest of the night was good though, so I can't really complain.

Actually, now that I think about it, today was a pretty crap day. I'm glad it's over.
Wish I was going on the wine tour tomorrow.

Movember.

Just want to state that I think Movember is incredibly awesome. I have always been partial to facial hair, but it is for a great cause too.
Some guys are going to look pretty dirty by the end of the mont.
Love it.

Sickkids.

I have always wanted to have the opportunity to afford tickets to the Princess Margaret Cancer Society or Sickkids lottery. I tried to buy $250.00 worth of tickets to Princess Margaret, but they sold out. So, I bought $195.00 worth of tickets to Sickkids. I figured it is a good time to start giving back to charity. I feel a little hypocritical working on a hospital foundation, but not donating myself.
When I compare this amount of money to the amount of money I make in a year, it is pretty terrible how I only donated $195.00.
I am going to make a note and act on it, to donate a little more every year. It's not about winning the prizes - it's about supporting the health care system and furthering knowledge on bigger issues that impact thousands of people every year in Canada.

That's all I am going to say, but if you have some extra money sitting around, don't be selfish if you have the opportunity to help and find a charity that you are passionate about.
Also, don't just say it, act on it.

November. 1

I realized today that November. 1st is my least favorite day of the entire year. The reason for this because when Halloween is over, it automatically becomes Christmas season on November. 1st. I rather dislike this because that means it summer is over, and that fall is over, and that winter is going to be here very soon.
I need to move to California where it is summer all year round.

Go Bus.

Ahh.
I am currently taking the bus to Guelph. I haven't taken this bus in a very long time, and I just realized how much I like the idea behind public transportation. Not that I don't love my car, because I do. But the feeling of listening to music while studying or reading is quite relaxing. It is nice to be in the passenger seat once in a while. Plus, people taking the Go are always so quiet.
Off to write my last midterm of my undergrad today, then going to Tobermory for a mini holiday. I cross my fingers that the weather stays like this until the end of the weekend.

Time.

Apparently three months is not long enough.

Popo.

I went to the police station today for the first time, and got to talk to a very attractive Australian officer. It made my short stay there much more enjoyable. I think I need to get into more trouble.

Omg.Omg.Omg.

After 5 months of waiting, I got my job at Credit Valley!!! Omg omg omggggg. I'm so excited!! Greg and I are going out tonight to celebrate. Everything commences next wednesday!! Wooooooo. Hard work, determination and having faith does pay off.

Thanksgiving.

I went into this weekend with a feeling of dread, and I did have an emotional early morning (which was quickly fixed with waffles made by Greg). Overall, it turned out to be more fun than expected. The constant drinking and eating helped for sure, but it was the winning of poker against 9 people including poker master (so he thinks) Greg. Came back from absolutely nothing to win the game. It was a pretty great feeling. I am thankful for good feelings felt all day, and that my manager called me off from work this afternoon. I am also thankful that my boyfriend is so amazing.

Oktoberfest.

Just got tickets for Thursday! Got to pull out the hat and start drinking some beer to prepare for the intoxication that will ensue.
Should be a good time :)

Lovely Gestures.

Not only did Greg make me waffles with blueberries and strawberries this morning for breakfast, he is in the process of making me dinner as well (at 11:30pm).
He is always impressing me more and more.

:)

Halloween.

As you can see I actually have time today to write. WOW.

I just ordered the main part of my costume of Halloween. I am an anti-ubber-spending person for Halloween, so I got it on Ebay. It's going to be interesting... hopefully it fits, ha. I just need to go out and buy a couple minor things, and I will be good to go. I'm so excited for Halloween this year. I usually wear a more logical outfit, but this year I am going all out.

Yay!

Pretty Excited.

I just booked a couple days vacation with Greg in Tobermory. I haven't been to Tobermory since I was probably 13, so I am really looking forward to touring around the area again. I think that it may be a little chilly, but the leaves will still be changing so it will be beautiful. I have been working 6 days a week and going to school the 7th day, so it's been hard to wind down lately.
Since I cannot exactly afford to go on a trip, a mini vacation up north will be ideal. It fits right over reading week for Greg too. Our monthly dinner will have to be up north instead of at Latitude. I think we can let this month slide because we will still be regulars next month. :P
I just need to get through the next few weeks.

So excited! I just need to start looking into things to do. I know I want to check out Flowerpot Island, hiking trails and boating. This holiday is meant for relaxation and reconnecting with the nature I have not been around much lately.

Just three weeks... already counting down.

Status.

Yes, it says I am in a relationship.
Yes, I am in a relationship.

Why do people have to care so much about the title, I don't know.
Just don't annoy me about it.

You are lovely though. :)

Maple Leafs.

After a very long night, I won a competition to work.
I got 2 tickets to tomorrow night's Leaf game. Tickets are worth over $400!
Unfortunately, or fortunately (depending how you look at it) I cannot attend.
I'm trying to sell them, but I really want to go.
I hope that this interview goes well tomorrow, so it's worth it!!!

Speed Demon.

Since I got my new car, my addiction to adrenaline and speed has peaked. When I was a lot younger, I used to get upset when someone would go 130 on the highway because I thought it was so fast. However, more recently I started going 130 and now my average is 145 on the highway. I'm pretty sure this is going to lead to an accident, but my narcissism katy enjoys when people get out of the way for me.
I am also tempted to put a large sign on the back of my car that reads: "passing lane is for passing ONLY."

On a different note, I dyed my hair yesterday. Apparently its quite noticeable because numerous people have, well, noticed. First time in a year I have got my hair trimmed and its still very short.

Just for the record, if you contact me one more time, I promise you that I will get a restraining order against you. If you don't believe me, try me. Let's see if you actually deleted my number for good. For your sake, I hope this is not another lie like the rest of them.

Life Drawing.

I have never been drawn before. Well, there was the time I had a characterure done at Canada's Wonderland when I was about 15. But this was the first time someone took the time to sketch me. It was slightly cold lying there totally naked and very Titanic-esque, but I did get a small thrill knowing someone was taking in all of the details. Apparently I would be a good life model considering I am kind of attractive and kind of, sort of, almost confident.

I still like dating a (nerdy) artist. :)

Long Weekend.

Just got back from my weekend in Sauble Beach. Once again, I had a hoot. The weekend consisted of:

- Coors Light
- Great food
- Topless dance parties
- Swimming in Georgian Bay in 10C weather
- Karaoke security guards
- Afternoon chit chats
- The skunk incident
- Flawless skies

That's all I can think of right now. It was a really great weekend, and an awesome way to *** the summer (still in denial).

Uno, Dos, Tres, Quatro.

I have been seriously lacking in the writing area lately, but I have hardly been around over the past couple weeks. It's going to continue to be crazy for the next little bit, but at least I have OFFICIALLY moved into my first real apartment that I am paying for with 2 cool roommates. There were a few minor hiccups yesterday during the moving process, nothing too terrible... only locking myself out of TWO houses, breaking into one through the kitchen window and setting off the alarms of the other one... No big deal.
I'm pretty exhausted so I am not going to write much.
Looking forward to Suable Beach this weekend. Should be a grand ol' time.

Oh, and also, I have the song "I Want You" stuck in my head. Hence the Uno, Dos, Tres, Quatro. Funny thing is that I have not heard this song in a very long time. Random.

Super Duper.

Life is great, I can't wait until I move next week into my new apartment!!!
It is so gorgeousssssss! I can't wait to paint and buy lots of new things to make it look super frikkin duper.
Goodbye money, hello lifestyle.

New Car.

I frikkin' love my new car!
It's such a sexy bitch.

Bright Blue.

My new car is beauttttiful! Hot car!
Everything has been good, other than the potential recall from mazda. I need to double check tomorrow, but I think my car is in the clear. That would seriously suck if it got recalled the day after I got it.

It's nice being back in Kitchener for the week.
Sleeping in tomorrow, then back to work. Definitely had a great day off minus a couple small things. Looks like my old car is getting sold for scrap, and I will be out literally, thousands of dollars from it.
Great.

Sleep.

So tired... can't wait for sleep tonight...

And my new car on MONDAY!

Scoff.

Just bought another car today.
It is so hot.
Can't wait for monday!

Meteor Shower.

Looking forward to the end of work tomorrow night so I can watch the meteor shower...
On Friday the 13th.

Pretty.

Since I have been working so hard the last couple days (scoffff), I decided that I should spoil myself.
Not only did I buy another pair of Ray Bans today, I also bought a new purse from Coach...
To top it off, I'm looking into getting a pretty sweet new car.

Green Tea and Cucumber.

Mmmmm... Hotel soaps. Definitely stealing them. Especially since they come with bumps to massage while washing. Hard to explain, but oh so nice.

Stuck.

I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I really wish this was something I could control. I am usually quite in tune with my emotions, but this is an exception.
I wish I could move on.

Back to School.

After looking up information about tuition and the (LAST) two courses I am taking this semester, I realized that I am actually looking forward to going back to school. I was originally going to take one in-class course, and one online course, but now I think I'm going to take them both in-class so I can spend more time on campus.
On top of this, I spoke to Lydia yesterday and now I'm sad that I will not be returning to Guelph to live this year. It's going to be so difficult knowing that school is over in December. I may become one of those students that continuously take courses because they never want to let go of the student lifestyle. But then again, I am applying for my masters this year, so it will only be 9 months away from school. Fingers crossed that I get in.
As soon as summer starts to end, life always seem to creep up.

Overdue.

I haven't exactly kept up with all the happenings lately because I've been at work for 8 days in a row (going to be 12 total :S) and busy the rest of the time. The only thing really worth mentioning is my new apartment. I get to move in 3 weeks, and I'm really excited.
Now that I have started typing, I don't really have much more to say.
I have been craving some spontaneous adventures, so hopefully I will have one next week when I see Dragonette downtown, or maybe I'll just hop on a plane somewhere around the world. I'm getting bored again, so might as well spice it up. After getting my tattoo, I really want to do more crazy things. Guess we will see what I come up with.

Blank.

I have been staring at my screen for the last 20 minutes, but I keep drawing blank.
I have so many things to say, but I can't find it in me to write it down.
I wonder why that is.

I have everything I could possibly want right now, but I still feel like something is missing.

Mind-blowing.

That's all I have to say.

Kaboom.

New Tattoo.

Pretty.

Suable Suable Suable.

So I am back from a mini vacation from Suable Beach with Jessika.
I am too sleepy to write about it now, but I will say one thing -

I got another tattoo.

Crap.

Did I mention I have to be up in 4 hours?
Ooops.
Thank goodness I love daytime naps. The fact I will be near the water is just an added bonus. And the fact that the weather is actually going to be nice.... well, that's just more than I could ask for.

Oh, and maybe you coming with me.

Weekend.

Some people work full time and get saturday and sunday off, but for me I choose to take monday and tuesday off. This week I am heading upppppppppppp to Suable Beach for a couple days so it should be a good time.
I can put my new bikini to use and get some more color.
Yay holiday!

Inspiration.

It is not a distraction, but an inspiration.
I have come down to the conclusion that you are the most genuine person I have ever dated. It is really, really nice.
There are not many people I would like to frolic in sprinklers with at midnight.

Looking forward to Suable Beach on Monday!

McDonalds.

I went and got McDonald's today after work and had a sense of sadness when I realized it was Thursday and I wasn't able to get the Two Cheeseburger Value Meal. Now, I know that it has not been around for the past few years, but I had a sense of deja vu thinking of all the Thursdays Rachel and I used to go for McDonald's in high school.
Good times. I really wish they would bring it back.

Damn it.

Just realized what a huge mistake that was.
Damn, I'm stupid.

Take a Minute.

I have said goodbye, once and for all.

Splendid.

It should be noted that I had a very lovely evening with you and Toni.
I also have to admit that I was tipsy off that one glass of wine.
Tee hee.

All Smiles.

I had another superb weekend.
I rather enjoy how simple things are when you just let yourself be happy.

Really wish I was watching the thunderstorm roll in with you. Damn stupidity and lack of memory! GRRR!!

Life is Good.

:D

The past week has been quite nice overall.
Last friday Greg and I went to see Metric downtown at the Amplitheatre. He headed down early friday afternoon so we could spend the day walking around. We drove to Kipling subway station listening to Justin Timberlake and headed towards Queen St. so we could look at some cool stores. We stopped at Osgoode Hall (one of my fav places in Toronto) and enjoyed the hypocritical environment. I found some sweet new shades that Greg said looked the best at Urban Outfitters and walked toward Lakeshore. We thought it would be walking distance to the Amplitheatre, but apparently it's not. We ended up catching a streetcar to the Amplitheatre. We found our seats and I went to get a drink and check out the loot they had for sale, but unfortunately everyone that goes to see Metric are tiny people so there were no shirts in my size. We missed the band called Holy Fuck, but caught the second band called Passion Pit, which were pretty good. We got some food and got back right when Metric was going on stage. They played a great show. My camera died after 3 photos, so I had to take a bunch of pictures on my blackberry, which turned out pretty good considering. We walked north towards the subway line, and found out that it was going to take us too long (again) so we took a bus to the subway station back to Kipling. Greg piggybacked me to the car and we drove out to the country to enjoy the rest of the night. We trespassed on some people's property, but heard something moving so I freaked out and we headed back to the car. We had some awkward adjustments and then headed back.

INSERT FORGOTTEN MEMORY.... HERE.
Saturday after work, Greg and I met up, got some tea and a couple blankets and curled up under the stars in the middle of a soccer field. It was such a nice night that I wasn't even cold. I didn't want to leave it was such a beautiful night, filled with stars and planes above us.

Other than that, saturday and sunday turned into a blur, except the World Cup game which I worked. I dealt with alot of stupid people, and since I hadn't eaten that day, I kept making errors, which I hardly ever do. I energized with some grilled cheese and finished the day. I went and picked up Greg from Burlington and headed to Waterloo to pick up my kitty!! Unfortunately, once we brought her to my aunt's, Tux freaked out and scared her down the stairs to the forest. For about 3 hours, we could not find Madi anywhere. I honestly thought that she was gone. I got about 25 mosquito bites from venturing out in the forest. Greg *my hero* ended up finding her in a place I looked 3 times earlier. Thank goodness we found her because she is declawed and would have probably been eaten by a squirrel. We had some fudgcicles and strawberries before we headed back to the city.

Monday morning, I headed up north for a few days. Unfortunately my car is a piece of S*** and hardly got me there. It wouldn't go faster than 100km/h on the highway. Oh, and when I am going up hill, it would drop to like 70km/h. Sketch. I took it in today and my transmission is toast. Yay. Anyways, up north was a good time, and I spent all day yesterday outside. Luckily, yesterday my manager was in a great mood and didn't call me in for my on call shifts, so I got an extra day up north. I got more tanned so I look like I am actually enjoying my summer. Which I am, of course. I am going to try to get back up north next week again for a couple days, as long as my car is in running order.

I have tonight off so I'm just going to take it easy and go grocery shopping. Grocery shopping is one of my favorite activities, and I haven't been able to since I left Guelph. However, starting September 1, I will have my own place again and will be grocery shopping on a weekly basis. So pumped! School, work and my living arrangements will be things to look forward to, FOR SHO.
Other things too. ;)

For the first time in a while, the A/C is too much for me and I am freezing in Starbucks. It is definitely nice to be dating someone with an artistic side.

Nice.

Knowing that you have had a threesome makes me more attracted to you.

Muskoka.

Ahhhhh. First time up north this year. Pretty much in heaven and enjoying the quiet. Other than my car barely working, I am quite happy to relax for a couple days in peace. I still need to write about my roller coaster weekend but I will do that when I am back in the city.
Fingers crossed for the weather to clear up. Killer double tubing and wakeboarding tomorrow!

ZzzzZ.

Lovely.

That about sums up tonight.

:)

Great Concert.

I am much too tired to write about it right now, but I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Toronto and at Metric tonight. Unfortunately I have a staff meeting at 8:00am (5 hours from now), so I'm going to try and get a solid 4.5 hours sleep! woo!!!!

Oh Geez.

So tonight I started reading my first erotica novel. When I bought it today, it sounded steamy but I missed the fine print saying that it was erotica. Holy cow, it is intense. I've read my fair share of hot and steamy sex books, but this is a bit more than I expected. In the first chapter, the girl gets hand-cuffed to the bed after performing a strip show, and in the second chapter the other girl puts a purple strap on and takes her beau from behind. WHOA. That's a lot to read in 20 minutes!
Lol,looking forward to what is coming next. (get it, get it, pun, ha ha haaa).

There is definitely a shortage of adventurous males out there. Maybe I'll give the female sex a go.

METRIC!

Concert!
Tomorrow!
Pumped!
Love time off!

After working 12 hours on my feet yesterday (eek) I have been enjoying my time off, and will definitely enjoy my time tomorrow afternoon and night in one of my favorite cities.
Love love love it.

Kissed by a Rose.

You remain my power, my pleasure and my pain.

That's Right.

I'm bringing sexy back.

Update.

It is a beautiful saturday morning and I am sitting outside by the pond eating my usual breakfast (yogurt, berries and all-bran mixed together - very healthy btw) and I thought that maybe I should take the time and write down a couple of the fun things that have happened in the last week or so.

Jam -
Monday before my birthday, Jessika, Chris, Greg and I went to Jam Martini Bar in downtown Oakville for food and drinks. It was a pretty fun night eating sushi and lychee martinis filled to the brim. It was Greg's birthday starting at midnight Tuesday, so we all waited until midnight to go our separate ways so we could all be the first to wish him a Happy Birthday. After that we stopped at Tim Horton's, did some driving around Meadowvale (lol) and walked in a very dark and creepy park by my old house in Oakville. It ended up being pretty fun.

Birthday -
My birthday was pretty good this year minus the time I spent at work. I picked up a shift because I am such a nice person, and ended up being there for three hours (which was fine) but made hardly any money. On top of that, I seemed to have misplaced money so I walked out with even less than I meant to make. After that I went home and had an amazing nap. I woke up and my family took me out to the Mandarin. It wasn't my first choice, but it ended up being pretty good. Jessika also came for it so it was fun. My family got me a new tennis racquet, tennis balls, a water bottle and a tennis bag. My tennis instructor and I keep missing our appointments, so I STILL haven't used it yet. After dinner, and an embarrassing birthday song and photo from the people at the Mandarin and my family, Jessika and I went over to her place, chatted and went to Boston Pizza because I wanted to do Karaoke. I basically spent my entire birthday at work. Which, didn't end up being so terrible because there were a lot of staff there doing karaoke and my manager just kept handing me (free) drinks. Thanks Ian! I really wanted to sing Escape by Enrique, so a few of us went up and sang it amazingly, as well as an AC/DC song that I forget the name of. Not a crazy birthday, but it just what I wanted.

This Tuesday -
Greg took me to a belated birthday dinner once I got back into the city. We went to a place called Latitude in Oakville, which is a restaurant that changes their menu every month. We had wine and dinner which was really nice, and then went to downtown Burlington and sat by the water. Burlington seems pretty nice, I want to go back there during the day and look around.

Canada Day -
I worked for the majority of Canada Day, but when I was done I went to Jessika's parents place with her and Chris. Her parents have a penthouse condo suite on the 22nd floor overlooking Toronto and the Lake. We could basically see every single firework going off in the GTA (due SE). It was a pretty amazing way to see fireworks. They were going off all over the place, all the time for about an hour straight. It was really neat.

This Friday -
I worked all day and got off early so Jessika and I went to Oakville Place for dinner and a chat. We ended up being there until it closed and went to my place for a hot tub. It was a pretty picturesque night too. Not a cloud in the sky.


I have to work till close tonight because of UFC and then open tomorrow morning. Gah. I am looking very forward to having a couple days off. Rachel and I are going to go for dinner on sunday, and I may even see Jordan at the end of the weekend who is visiting from New York.
METRIC next friday!! So excited. I haven't been to the Amphlitheatre for years, and it was a pretty terrible experience the last time I went so hopefully it is super fun this time around. Unfortunately, my amazing management decided that Saturday morning at 8am after my concert would be the perfect time for a staff meeting. So there goes any ideas of staying in Toronto for the night. Bummer.

That's the sum up for the last week or so.
On top of all of that, I got my job at Credit Valley, and won a $500 Blackberry Bold in a raffle during the EMS Soiree I went to a few weeks ago. Never won anything before, so I figured that was a good sign that I got it the night I met all the people involved in the foundation. Other than that, things have been pretty constant around here. I am finally starting to look for apartments for September so I can have my little goofy living with me again. I miss my kitty. The summer has been pretty exciting and fun so far, considering my three jobs. I still have a ton of time to just lie by the pool and drive around in my car (Roxanne).

Okay, shower time then headed to the mall to do some shopping. There are great sales on EVERYWHERE right now. It's amazing. I am looking for another pair of Ray Ban's today and maybe a new swimsuit. Not paying rent or groceries helps me save a hell of a lot of money! Might as well go spend some! Especially since I found out that I can still fit in kid sizes - I bought a nice dress that I will probably wear today for $5.

Ciao for now.

Hot Tub.

I am not usually a fan of hot tubs, but I found myself sitting in one for 2 hours tonight. I rather enjoyed it, minus the fact that I was prune-y and it chipped my french pedicure I got last week for my birthday. Grrr!
C'est la vie.

I'm trying a new template for my blog. It looked kind of cool.

Gah, I am so bored. I am looking up new bathing suits online. BUT I fell in love with my Body Glove bathing suit, so I am trying to find another one in the same style. Apparently, it is hard to find a brasilia style bathing suit. The style is so flattering and is pretty hot because it only covers half of the bum. I am glad I am one of the few that can pull it off. Fingers crossed for never getting pregnant. Ever. God forbid, how terrible would that be? Ick.

Strike Two.

After another attempt at love, I have failed. Big surprise. Why is it that every time I tell myself I should be single, someone comes along, or re-comes along and screws it up? I wish it worked out this time.
Alas, it did not. I always seem to pick the wrong ones.

At least I have Metric to see next week, it is going to be a killer good time. Finally going to have some time off! I already cannot wait for Monday so I can relax by the pool. I'm not a fan of working full-time. I am definitely a person who enjoys working part-time hours but makes full-time salary.

I am so pooped. Looking forward to a great sleep, and waking up early for a tennis lesson with my new PINK racquet. :D

23.

What a great birthday.
I truly love my family and friends.

ahh.

That definitely helps me sleep.

Wow.

I have had a truly amazing week. I don't have time to write about it right now, but I just wanted to get that down.
Damn, I miss you.

OMG

Everything is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
I couldn't ask for anything more!

Fingers Crossed!

Tomorrow is a big day. I finally have my introduction to the hospital world (again). I am attending a huge gala of Dirty Docs and Naughty Nurses hosted by the Credit Valley Hospital. I will be having a very relaxed type interview and hopefully (fingers crossed!!) this will be my big break. Things have been going so well lately, I hope I am not jinxing it.

On a sidenote, I drove back from Kitchener tonight in the pouring rain on the 401, which is hardly lit. I honestly was gripping the steering wheel so tightly because I thought I was going to die. No more driving in the rain for me. Especially since it eats away all of my gas.

I had my first tennis lessons today, which was pretty fun. I'll be doing it twice a week. I have been told that tennis players are some of the hottest athletes out there, so hopefully it will help me keep in shape. I do not want to become a size 1. God forbid. Lol, kidding.

Off to sleep thinking of you. Muah!

Cutie.

I miss my little goofy.

Spontaneous and Elated.

That was the best 24 hours I have had in a very long time. I am not sure the last time I have been this happy. Someone must have heard my prayers and thought I deserved for it all to come true.

I Want You.

Exactly like I used to.

Jays!

Going to the Jays game tonight for the first time in years. Pretty pumped, should be a good time!!!

Comptine D'Un Autre Ete.

My favorite piano song. I listened to it for the first time in a while and realized how much I wished that you perfected playing it for me. It truly is a beautiful song.

Brown.

I am the same shade of brown/red that I was when I first returned from Dominican.
Yowza.

I <3 the sun. I <3 lying by the pool. I <3 swimming. I <3 summer!

L-o-s-e-r.

I had quite a fabulous weekend... until this moment. I am very unimpressed with myself.
Right when I pull into the driveway to park my car and lock it, i walk towards the door and realize that my keys are still in the car. The car is locked. I have my house key as well as BOTH sets of my car keys in the car that is locked. Still in the ignition, I may add.
I am not going to worry about this too much tonight, but it seems that I will be breaking into my car tomorrow morning.
Anyone know anything about breaking into cars?
If so, msg me.
Ha, kidding.

Seriously. Please call me.

Happy Day.

Today has started off well and it's not even noon. I just got a second job (woo) and I get to pick up my kitty today! I haven't seen her smooshy little face in weeks and I cannot wait. Plus, she is going to be in Oakville so I can visit her anytime I want until she is living with me again. I also get to let go of a couple of people from my past today, so that is also very exciting. Moving in a forward direction is very important right now.
The only sad thing about today is the fact that I have to stop by my house in Guelph. I haven't been there in weeks either and it sucks to keep realizing that I will not be returning in the fall. Sad face. However, life in the GTA is looking promising. Plus, I am probably going up north for part of the long weekend. That should be really nice also.

It's hard to believe that a year ago I was returning to Ontario from Victoria. What a terrible idea that was. My life would have been completely different. I should've stayed and kept with my original plans to live there for 4 months.
REMINDER: Never give up your plans for boys.
This summer is kind of a continuation from last summer of being single, having a ton of fun and relaxing with cool people. So far the single life has treated me well, I am having a great time being able to go anywhere I want at any time, and I am hanging out with people that enjoy having a good time. I just need to stay focused on the fun part, and not the relationship part because for the first time, it's nice not having to tell someone my every movement. It's freedom at its best. Since I have a slightly addictive personality, I think I will enjoy this lifestyle for a while.
Fingers crossed I do not screw it up again.

Off to spend my lunch lounging on a patio, most likely drinking a martini.
Life is so much better when it is non-dramatic and stressful.

Lusting.

At work today I discovered a very prevalent lust towards married business men in the 30s. I'm not sure what it is exactly that has driven me towards this selection, but I like it. I enjoy working during lunch more than I ever have.

:D

MUSIC!

Woooo, finally got my car adapter for my ipod today. I can listen to something other than the radio now!!!!!

YAY!!!

I get to see my baby on Tuesday!!! So excited.

Damnit.

Every moment I think of you it is surreal.
It still makes me ponder what if.

I hate that.

Hermit Lifestyle.

I just got home from work and realized how lonely I am. It doesn't seem to matter where I am and what I try to do to change it. I hear one song and it destroys me.
I am going to be a hermit for a little while so I do not feel constant disappointment from anyone, but myself.

Vroom Vroom!

After a couple months of looking, and hours sitting in front of a computer, I have FINALLY found a car!
Car in Possession - CHECK!
Insurance - CHECK!
License Plates - CHECK!
Full Tank of Gas - CHECK!

Totally cute car and loving it - CHECK CHECK CHECK!!!

All I need is to go on a road trip now into the country on a nice day. I cannot wait. Thursday sounds promising.
:D
Still seems quite surreal, doesn't feel like it is mine. But it is!
Yay!

Blog.

It has been brought to my attention that there is a hate blog that someone made in 2008 about me. I do know who this person is, or at least I can guess with a very high certainty.
If you see this, please delete it.
It's a little silly after all this time, don't you think?

Concerts.

So, I looked into who is coming to Toronto this summer, and there are actually a few good bands.
1. Metric
2. Kings of Leon
3. Jack Johnson
4. MGMT is here this week, missed the boat on that one.
5. The Eagles w/Dixie Chicks
Need to look into this for sure. Especially since the first 3 are at the Molson Amphitheatre. Love it.

Sniff.

mmmm, the clothes I am wearing to bed STILL smell like Dominican. I went, what, over 2 months ago?
I guess it's a perk of having a ridiculous amount of clothing.

Sniff sniff.

I hope I have the same type of dreams as last night. They were incredibly enjoyable. I wish all my dreams were like that... all the time. I don't really want to share what they were, but I will say that they did involve incredibly tight jeans on a certain male. That is all. And no, the male is not who you are most likely thinking of.

Yum yum.

Hot Chocolate.

A couple days ago, I had the best frozen Hot Chocolate I have ever had. It was from Godiva. It was milk chocolate raspberry, and had raspberry puree at the bottom and chunks of milk chocolate in it. So good.
I just want to remember this because it was absolutely delicious.
This is how exciting my life has become.

At least I start working today. That should help.

Hunt Hunt Hunt.

Looking for a car... hunting for a car. So far with no avail.
Everyone keeps saying "why are you so set on a VW?" Well, my answer is - I have always wanted one, so I am GOING to get one. I am determined. Hopefully I will be able to have more luck now that I am learning standard transmission. It's kind of scary when you first start out, but we will see how it goes. I am ready for it! Bahahahaha, can't wait to start driving!!! I have a feeling I am going to be a terrible driver. Watch out.

Rant.

Every time I will hear from you this summer, I will be sick to my stomach. There are only a few people that have made me feel so low of a person as you have. I truly hope that I do not hear from you often because even a day like today where I have felt amazing, with one message I feel like the sex bomb you have made me out to be. Aka - nothing of value. Maybe Jordan was right, I only have 2 options if all I am is a sex bomb - stripper & prostitute. Both very viable options for a sex bomb. I might as well use my body to make money since apparently I am not beautiful, or a beautiful person - all I am good for is my ass and boobs.
Maybe you are right, all I am is a sex bomb.


Who would want to love a sex bomb?

Exhibitionist.

That I am.
I rather enjoy showering, changing and dancing naked (among other things) in front of open windows. There is a thrill that someone may be watching me. I may be a slight pervert, but I have fun with it.

PS: I FORGOT - GOT A JOB!

Moving Time.

It took me a couple hours, but I have all my stuff in a big ol' pile. I honestly cannot believe I am moving away from Guelph. Tomorrow is going to be a very difficult day. Thank goodness I have to come back a couple days next week, because I feel like I will be very lonely in the beginning. I already feel myself getting in a rut - eating poorly, not jogging as often, sleeping in late... I really hope for the best this summer, but I have a feeling that I will be quite miserable for the time being. It's going to take me a while to get over all of this. Moving further away is just going to make me feel more empty.
Please let me get a job soon, so I stop being so emo.

Drunk.

oh boy, Jordan you make really strong drinks. Today has turned out to be a great day, DONE SCHOOL, possible jobs, Pizza Hut and now drunk on Lychee Martinis..
Yes, I like my nipples buttered. Thank you.

FINGERS CROSSED FOR A JOB THIS WEEK!!!!!

Moving this weekend. Yikes.

I am suntanning tomorrow, even if it's only 15 degrees... going to stop babbling now.

bachelorette.

She had to choose between two people. One she did not love but would do anYthing for her and one she loved unconditionally. Where do you draw the line and decide if love overweighs everything else? Apparently in this bachelorette episode the girl chose love. Unfortunately, the boy did not love her back and she ended up alone anyways.

help.

My heart is beating like a hammer. hoping for the best this weekend.

Job Interview!

I just called from my favorite restaurant in the entire world (Lonestar Bar and Grill) for an interview next week!
YAYYYYY!

Holy Shit I'm good.

In the last seven hours of constant work (with a lunch break) and 4.5 hours of class, I have made a HUGE dent in the work I had to do this week.
Here is an update.

Included in this is:
SEVEN page paper.
TWELVE page re-write paper.
QUIZ (got 88%)
THIRTY-FIVE page logbook.
ONE page paper.

Now, I can breathe for the rest of the night, relax, then start studying for my midterm on thursday.
ALMOST DONE MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!
In the process of this, I even applied to five jobs. I am on a roll.

Second Chance.

I was walking through campus this morning when I saw numerous trees with green buds and green grass all around. It made me feel elated that nice weather is coming and will be here to stay.
This idea made me think about how New Year's is the time of year to change your habits and feel better about yourself. However, while I was looking at the changing of seasons of winter to spring, it dawned on me that I disagree with this. I had never thought about how the four changing of seasons could be seen as a chance to change bad habits and feel better about yourself. It makes me feel better knowing that you have the chance to do this four times a year, rather than once a year during the most miserable (I think) season of the year - winter. I think that if you remind yourself at the beginning of the four seasons, you can change for the better, you will be more likely to change because you are reinforcing your thoughts more than once a year.

I like the sound of that.

This Week will be the Death of Moi.

I have decided to post a list of all the stupid work I have to do in the next week.


This is the most updated version of it...

Hopefully by tomorrow, I will have another couple crossed off. I am doing this because I honestly did not think I could get through all the work. But I am determined to prove myself wrong. I am even going to the extreme to say that I will get everything but 2 of them done by friday evening so I can relax and enjoy my weekend.
Here's to hoping that my motivation will continue through the week. However, I will see how I am feeling after heading to The Manor tomorrow night. MUST REMEMBER TO LIMIT ALCOHOL INTAKE!!!

Madi.

Thank goodness my kitty likes to cuddle.
I need all the love I can get.

La La Gahhhh.

I cannot sleep because I am thinking of you.





And my future car.

WIN WIN!

After numerous successful attempts at Roll-up-the-rim-to-lose, I have FINALLY WON a coffee.
I can officially say that Roll-up-the-rim-to-win is now accurate.

bus sex.

I am sitting in a seat on the bus and a random question came to mind - I wonder how many different buses and how many seats on these buses I have sat on have been used as a sex cushion. I have taken many bus rides in my existence and I bet there are more bus-horny people out there than one would care to admit. Ew.

A Little Push.

I seem to have lost my motivation to do anything lately. It is truly pathetic.
However, the one thing that I am motivated to do, and have been doing for the last week or so is to go for a jog everyday. I find that i can get out my frustration of myself and the world around me with some music and concrete underneath my feet. I actually jogged 5KM today. I was pretty impressed with myself that I could just go for 35 minutes straight without feeling like I wanted to hurl. It does make me feel better about things going on, even just for a brief period of time.

On top of that, I cannot even listen to some of my favorite music right now because it makes me think of you. I do not want to think of you at all, considering we lead so completely different lives and have absolutely no future, but I can't seem to get your perfect face out of my mind.
Cruel.

Yikes.

So, at work tonight I served a very strange man... He kind of seemed like a pedophile type and was with his wife (who seemed quite normal).

He included his entire life story, including:
- His failed marriage
- The ex-wife who was a crazy drug addict
- The ex-wife who had been to rehab 6 times
- The ex-wife that was sleeping with their family doctor
- The ex-wife's doctor who he SUED for sleeping with his wife
- The lawsuit he WON
- How incredibly dysfunctional his 28-year-old son is because of his ex-wife
- All of this happened 24 years ago
- The same year he married his current wife

Apparently, some people never get over things... This puts my life into perspective and how AMAZING it is compared to some.

Bottom line: NEVER tell people you are in psychology and interested in dysfunctional behavior. :S

Muahahahah!

I am pretty much amazing. I procrastinated until 10:00pm to do an assignment worth 25% of my grade. However, it is 11:56pm (4 minutes before it is due) and I am typing this message to remind myself how amazing I am. I completed an EIGHT page paper in less than 2 hours tonight.
I do not know why I worry so much about my grades, because it always seems that I can work better with less time to do it.

Through everything going on this past little while, I can go like this to the world.
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I beat you this time :)


Another thing that made me enjoy today - I called Telus and complained about my past bill (which I am late paying by a week) and they deducted $30 off this month and they managed to cut down my bill by a total of $200/year. Don't ask me how, because I have absolutely no idea. But I am not complaining at all, I am just thankful that I had such a nice lady to speak to today!

Changing of Seasons.

I thought this beautiful weather would make me feel better about things, but it hasn't.
I thought getting out of the city would help, but it didn't.
I thought buying new expensive things would help, but it didn't for long.
Life is changing so much, and there are so many unknowns that I should be excited about, however I feel like I am leaving behind one thing that I will never forget. It is making me want to stay in bed all day and wait for something amazing to happen. It feels unbelievable when it is around, and when it's not, I feel empty.
I just need to keep reminding myself that I am leaving soon, and I have a second chance (well, more like 20th chance) to turn over a new leaf and be happy in my surroundings. Loneliness seems to be a really good friend of mine, but I would love to disown this friend and meet happiness and comfort and become best friends.
Here is to wishing upon a star.

Gah.

I really do not enjoy being included in work gossip.
Just for the record, most things you hear are NOT true.

Bike Ride!

So excited. I will be going on my first bike ride since last summer tomorrow. I probably should be studying for my midterm, but why not get some exercise. I hope the weather is nice...

I Agree.

we just want to remember the view from the top, the breathtaking moment at the edge of the world - that is what keeps us climbing. And it's worth the pain. It's worth everything.

Holy Cow.

News spreads fast around these neighborhoods.

Sad Song.

Sometimes the last thing you want comes in first and sometimes the first thing you want never comes.
I know waiting is all you can do sometimes.



Today I looked over beside me and someone was dressed the same, was carrying the same purse and talking on the same phone. Creepy.

Gone to sleep.

Sigh.
I am going to sleep after getting 2 B+ today.
Although I shouldn't be, I am going to sleep thinking of you.

Ahem?

Not so Fun.

After royally screwing up a due date for a submission worth 40% of my grade, I have been sitting in front of my computer for the past.. oh, 4 hours writing.
I have written 4000 words (15 pages) within this time.

My eyes are sore and I just want some chocolate cake!

Ew.

Definitely still look like a leper.

Revolutionary Rebel.

Last night I went and saw another documentary about using your spirituality towards action for a better planet. I left half way through and went to Chapters because I had a moment that I had to produce change, even on a small scale. I bought a book about finding your passions in life, and I want to find something to fight for. I want to be an activist for something, and it will probably be for animals. More specifically, dolphins. I do want to see the world be a better place, and it would be so rewarding and AMAZING if I could be a revolutionary rebel - to create the change people say they want to do, but actually make the change happen.


I thought of a somewhat interesting probably-not-to-anyone-else kind of quote while I watched the film.
It may not be summer, but I am always green inside.

Evergreen.

My teddy bear smells like Dominican still.
It's like going to sleep with a little ball of relaxation and happiness.


Yes, I still sleep with a teddy bear.

Life Moment.

Wow, just saw my courses for next semester... My last 2 classes are offered on the same day, back to back.
What does this mean?
It means I will not be returning to Guelph in the fall like I originally thought. In a month and a half I will be done living in Guelph, living in the same house I've lived for 3 years... longer than most houses (maybe one exception) I've lived in my entire life.
I can't believe how quickly life can change after finding out one "small" detail.
I will be in Mississauga indefinitely starting in April.

Life moment. Scary.

On the edge of my seat!

Oh boy, trying to get this Dominican thing sorted out is quite the hassle. Travel agents can be so useless sometimes. This time tomorrow I will be in Dominican living (and loving) life. I cannot wait!!
Fingers crossed everything works out, and that the weather isn't completely terrible.

Side note: (kind of cool).
My 100th post on this blog will be written while I am drinking a strawberry daiquiri just off the beach.
That makes me happy.

I'm going to miss my kitty.

Happy Valentine's Weekend.

It's been really, really great...

Swim Free.

I have always thought that in my second life I would be a fish, but after watching The Cove, I have determined that I would be, in fact, a dolphin. For those that have seen this documentary, I will NOT be one of the dolphins in the film (they were slaughtered). For those who have not seen this documentary, I recommend prompt action in watching this film in hope that it promotes change.

addicted!

Since I got a blackberry I cannot seem to stay off of it. The constant beeping and vibrates make me feel busy and important. No wonder people get these. Blackberrys are an ego booster. This explains so much. :p

Quote.

Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth, "you owe me". Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky.

Crazy Kitten.

Apparently my cat is on something this morning.
She has already ran into my mirror full-speed and is trying to climb the walls.

Break Away.

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky.

I need a change.

It's a KITTY!

Madison is the newest member to our household.
Madi is the cutest thing ever. Pictures soon!

Holy crap.

So glad this week is over! It felt like exam week... so much stuff to do.
Finally I can do this...


DEEP BREATH. Relaxation. Hummmmmm.

Poonanner.

Man I feel terrible. I have come down with strept throat and haven't left my house all day.
I really did enjoy fainting in the middle of Metro yesterday. What a treat.

Tuesday was great though, got my first Coach bag :)

Awesome.

f.....m.....l....

Note...

I am listening to music and iTunes is always on shuffle. I find that my mood reflects the songs presented. For example, if I have to click next a bunch of times in a row, it's going to be a rough day (like today). However, when I get a stream of songs I like in a row, it turns out to be a good day. I wonder if I'm the only one who thinks that way.
Probably.

Cunundrum.

Here by my side, an angel.
Here by my side, the devil.

I'm trying to figure out which way to sway....
As they say, I am stuck between a rock and a hardplace.

Damn it.

Puff Plus!

Brent has just gone to get me some Puff Plus Kleenex with Lotion... finally my nose with forgive me for the constant pain I have inflicted on it the past few days.
I am sorry little nosie.

Ugh...

Not feeling so hot... Definitely think I'm getting sick.
:(

Balls.

I just found the same vacation we are going on for more than $100.00 less. Fack.

Apparently my timing is incredibly off because today I forgot I was on an on-call shift and went in anyways, and of course they didn't need me. At least I got free breakfast out of the deal.

It's amazing how bored I am the past few days. There is nothing to do before school starts up again, especially when there is no one in Guelph to hang out with. I resort to doing the dishes and doing laundry instead. Woo, how fun.

Fate.

So I tried to use my credit card to play some online poker since I was bored, but for some reason my bank has blocked my new credit card from my gambling habit. In turn, I went on amazon and ordered some studying books for the GRE instead. Apparently, someone up there doesn't want me gambling they want me to focus on my future.
Go figure.

Return of school work.

After almost a month off, I will be returning to school on Tuesday. I feel like my school is incredibly slack since every other school has returned to school this week. I can't really complain or the cold water and shaving cream fight would not have happened. I totally won that fight, btw.
Bowling this weekend :)

Cute.

Brush brush. Oink oink oink. Brush brush. Oink oink oink.

Quote.

I was just reading this and enjoyed it.
Straightforward and true.

"Pride is a very common failing I believe. By all that I have ever read, I am convinced that it is very common indeed, that human nature is particularly prone to it, and that there are very few of us who do not cherish a feeling of self-complacency on the score of some quality or other, real or imaginary. Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us."

-Jane Austen

Official Booking!

WOOO! Just officially booked a trip down to Dominican for reading week!
So pumped!!

New Trip!

After many-a-hours glued to the computer screen, I think (I hope!) we have decided on where we are going for Reading Week next month. I'm not going to say where it is so that I don't jinx anything, but if all goes well it will be planned and booked by tomorrow!!! I cannot wait.

Sidenote: Sherlock Holmes was a very quirky movie, minus the blackouts and sound issues. :p

Food fight!!!

I must say, I rather enjoy whipped cream fights.

First Post of 2010.

A new year, a new beginning... or whatever.
I like to think that the "new year" is a continuation of the good things from the year past, but also a reason to change the unpleasant things that make you sad or disappointed in the world around you (mostly the things you do yourself).

KATY'S GOALS OF 2010.

- Graduate!
- Write a romance novel
- Get romance novel published
- Study and write GRE by end of summer
- Get my license... again.
- Get a car
- Travel to at least 2 different countries (by plane) -Greece, Thailand, Dominican (for a holiday)
- Get a job (a decent job)
- Apply to grad schools by the end of 2010
- Read at least 1 fun novel every 2 weeks
- Go for a jog every 2 days (everyday during the summer)
- Continue to eat very healthy
- Continue to keep alcohol consumption minimal
- Practice flute once a week
- Get straight A's in final semester of school
- Graduate with ZERO debt, including credit card

Bottom line: enjoy life and be happy. Love, oh and more love.
