Canada Day.

I was going to write about everything that has happened in the last week, but I don't feel like it anymore.
The only thing I really care to write about is my adventure flying through the sky. That's right, SKYDIVING. It was totally amazing, and I want to take it up as a hobby. I want to go today, and tomorrow and more and more and more! I am trying to upload the video, but I am not sure if it is going to work. We shall see.
For today, going to see live bands, drink beer and watch the fireworks at Columbia Lake.
Sauble Beach for a few days next week -- going to be a pretty chill next little while. Life is good.

Boo-urns!

As expected, skydiving was postponed. It's amazing how many people are happy about this. There are so many dangerous things to do, yet people are worried about me hurling through the air towards the ground. Go figure. Needless to say, I am pretty disappointed.
Plus, my motivation is crashing. I've started on the downward spiral towards being lazy. I haven't even registered my car yet for the next year, and it's due tomorrow. I got to get my shit together, I can't keep letting people bring me down with their carelessness, selfishness and stupidity. It's starting to rub off.

Yup.

Definitely established that I will be content being alone since everyone that comes into my life is lame.
My cat is a perfect exemption...
And my lelo.

Free Fall.

So tomorrow, for my birthday, because I'm so intelligent, I am jumping out of an airplane. Unfortunately, it is supposed to be rainy and thunderstorms. I was told today that you can't get struck by lightning when you are free falling. What a relief!
....................
Anyways, it's going to be interesting. It's going to be a hard birthday present to beat!
The only problem with this whole idea, is that I have had a week to digest the fact that I will be jumping out of an airplane and hurling towards the earth voluntarily. That's not the problem though - since the weather is crap tomorrow, we have to call right before we leave. So tonight, I won't be sleeping, and thinking about my last day on earth. However, they may tell us tomorrow morning that the weather is too terrible to go, and it may be postponed. This would SUCK! I would have to re-digest this idea and go through the lack of sleep once again.
Eeek!
I will be wearing a diaper. I think a great business plan for a skydiving company would be to sell $5 diapers. They would make so much money!

On another note, I just wanted to discuss my last week of unemployment. In a nutshell, it was frikkin awesome. Ha, I'm also applying for unemployment for extra cash flow, so I don't think I will go going back to work any time soon.
Last week, I spend at least 20 hours total at Snug Harbour. I love that patio.
Thursday, I went out with Jon for dinner, and was spoiled with delicious Italian food in Oakville.
Friday, made a cheap dinner and went and strolled around Toronto, meanwhile stopping at Milestones in Dundas Square. Walked around Nathan Phillip Square and got Brandon to do some illegal activities. Muahahaha. Missed the subway, so had to take a bus alllllll the way back to Yonge and Finch. Brutal.
Saturday, made a delicious meal (only took 2 hours), packed a picnic and drove to Wasaga Beach. Took gin, tonic and limes, and Brandon was so fly that he went to Burger King and purchased (??) ice in cups so we could drink on the beach. 2 very strong drinks later we were both feeling pretty good! We had our picnic, debated staying in town and drove back to the city. Brandon was passed out beside me, lightweight. Ahem. Stopped by Milestones and had another drink and caught up with ian. What a wonderful person.
Sunday we went for breakfast (mmm studly) and met his family at the Yacht club and spent the day drinking, and boating around lovely, and clean Lake Ontario. Had dinner as the 13th wheel, and enjoyed my lamb and corn soup-esque meal. Drove home and relaxed until I passed out.
It turned out to be a pretty solid weekend.


On top of that, I found a sublet for my room.... excuse me for just a moment.
(YESSSSSSSSSSSS I'M FINALLY OUT OF BITCH CENTRAL WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO) SCREW YOU DOUCHEBAGSSSSSS. I HOPE YOU GET DOUCHEBAGGED>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Urban Dictionary writes: DOUCHEBAG
Someone who has surpassed the levels of jerk and asshole, however not yet reached fucker or motherfucker

Wikipedia writes: DOUCHEBAG
Douche usually refers to vaginal irrigation, the rinsing of the vagina, but it can also refer to the rinsing of any body cavity. A douche bag is a piece of equipment for douching—a bag for holding the fluid used in douching.

A combination of those 2 things, express the people I have been dealing with for the last several months (stupid and dirty), so as you can imagine, I am SO GLAD TO BE OUT WOOOOOOO.

That is all.
Birthday weekend!!!!!! So pumped.

Fine.

Someone has informed me recently that I have not updated this in a while. I looked, and it's been nearly 2 months. Ohhh, what has happened in the last 2 months? More valid, what has NOT happened in the last 2 months?
To sum up, I am getting screwed by people left right and center (not the good way).
You know those times in your life when everything seems to fall apart simultaneously? Well that is my life right now. The good part about this stupidity I face, is the fact that I have the money, the time (since I got fired today) and the freedom to do whatever I want, wherever I want.

I'll be going skydiving around my birthday next week, and I think plummeting towards the Earth with give me the perspective to make a solid plan. My life would be become incredibly straight-forward and easy if I die. As much as I dislike numerous people, and numerous situations I find myself in, I do not want to die. If I did, I would feel like I did not live life to its fullest. Maybe I will move to Australia or Europe for a year, maybe I will find a roommate and live in Toronto, maybe I will fall in love with a random person on the street and get married in Vegas. So many options! Maybe I will do all of the above.

I basically want to scream FUCK YOU to a half-dozen people, and poop on their windshield.

This is a blessing in disguise. I was informed that I am a confident person. And non-confident people are intimidated by confident people. But no, I WILL NOT be taken down to all of the half-dozen people's crappy-life-level, and will use my termination from my work and the kicking out of my apartment by the 2 biggest bitches I've ever met to IMPROVE my life. Because hell, I deserve better!

Cheers to picking yourself up and pooping on people's windshields!
*clink*!

Numero Four.

I just went and bought my FOURTH pair of Ray Bans over a year span. I think I have an addiction...

That's more than a months rent. :S

Love the new aviators though, so sweet.

Spring Cleaning.

Over the past 2 days, I have organized my entire life.
This includes:
Doing my taxes, travel insurance paperwork, auto insurance paperwork, packed 2 garbage bags full of clothes and misc. for donation, put up a shelving unit, cleaned bathroom, organized the entirety of my room, vacuumed, separated all paperwork into corresponding folders, cleaned all interior of my car, did laundry (!!) and actually folded them, oh and I dyed my hair.
It has been a very busy couple of days, but I feel really accomplished. Its amazing what you can do when you set your mind to it. It is actually kind of sad though when I think about it... Only took 2 days to do everything. I guess I didn't really have that much important stuff to do.
Oh well, back to work. Its been very nice having a full 48hrs off.
Looking forward to my next mini-holiday this weekend :)

Pretty Kitty.

So I just got home from a night out and looked at my gorgeous cat. I looked up other Lynx Point Himalayan cats, and they are really ugly (in a cute way). Madi is just gorgeous. Just wanted to note how lucky I was to find such a precious little fluff ball. Plus, how many cats do you know that play fetch and has a foot fetish? Seriously.

Madi, I am shaving you this summer.

spring.

I left Canada to enjoy nice summer weather.
Unfortunately, the weather was crap there.
Fortunately, the weather today is absolutely beautiful. I am presently enjoying a ham sandwich sitting on my make-shift chair on my balcony. I brought a sweater out with me, and immediately removed it. I am just wearing my work uniform, which is just pants and a t-shirt. I regret going back to work in an hour because I could have a nap listening to music in a snap. The chocolate on my cookies are actually melting.

I wouldn't mind being in Guelph right now, driving down random streets listening to music with the windows down. Or sitting in the backyard with my old roommates pretending to study. I love summer, so happy winter is over!


On second thought, maybe I will have a 20 minute nap...

Mini-cap.

I thought doing photos instead would be faster, but it still took about 3 hours to finish that. Hope you enjoy!
Unfortunately, the beauty can never quite be fully understood through a photo. Thailand is definitely a beautiful country, however it does help me appreciate the beauty that Canada holds as well.

Glad to be home.

Back.

Got back from Thailand on Saturday. I took a few days to re-orient myself with my life, but it's already back to stress, and responsibility. Ughhhh. I haven't even started work yet! So much stuff to do. Is it terrible that I am looking forward to going back to work? Mostly because I saw my fav people last night, and I realized how much I miss the people I work with.

I will probably give a run down of my trip to Thailand eventually, but not yet.

I read A Game of Thrones while I was away, and I just saw a preview for the HBO series of it starting April 17. Seems that I will be adding another TV show to the already long list of shows I presently watch.





Sidenote: Watching the news right now, and they are going to dig up the remains of a woman thought to be the woman in the Mona Lisa painting by Leonardo Da Vinci. This is pretty interesting. It seems that they found her through a convent. She was a nun? Kind of fits with the whole pure, beauty thing.

Reminder.

I was reminded today that people may actually read this occasionally, and that I should update things that are going on with me. First and foremost, I AM LEAVING FOR THAILAND TOMORROWWWWWWW!!! I just spend 4 hours running errands (since I leave everything to the last minute). I only have to pack. Holy S*** it's so close!!!! I will not be getting any sleep tonight because of butterflies dancing the night away in my belly.
side note: please please please have my bag delivered to me both ways... this is my worst fear.

Other than that, there are some other exciting things to update. I left BP yesterday after work and was like SEE YOU IN A MONTH BITCHESSSSS. Man it felt so nice to know that I don't have to go to work for an entire month. Who knows, I may be convinced to stay in Asia for some extra traveling. I would prefer to be rich and experienced than broke and unexperienced. I just read that over, and it is so obvious, but I'm incredibly lucky to be the first option.

That draws back to another exciting thing that happened a couple weeks ago, I GRADUATED. After 4 1/2 years of hard work (kind of) and dedication (kind of), I walked out of War Memorial with a $60,000 piece of paper. It definitely feels good. Unfortunately, I heard from my program I applied to for the fall and was waitlisted. I still have faith that I will be getting in, but I may not find out until July. Eek.

Finally, last week Greg and I went to Montreal. Other than getting pulled over after crossing the border (damn frenchies) and getting a $500.00 ticket, the trip was good. The weather was freezing, but we went to O'Noir. I have been dying to go for a while, and it was definitely the highlight of the mini-holiday. It's a restaurant that you eat in complete darkness because you are being served by the blind. So FRIKKIN cool. We were eating with our hands since we obviously couldn't see the food itself. I recommend getting the SURPRISE meals, because you have to figure out what it is based on taste alone. SO COOL! We also did some shopping, drank at a couple neat cafes and drank Italian hot chocolates -- and walked around Old Montreal and toured Notre Dame. I snuck upstairs where I wasn't allowed in a church because I am so rebellious like that. We went to the Museum of Contemporary Art and argued about the color blue until Greg stopped talking to me, lol. He didn't think it was very funny. I think I won the debate. (I know you are rolling your eyes right now).

Now I have to pack away a month worth of stuff. I am not looking forward to the flight(s), but should be entertaining with the people I am going with. I hope to have a unreal time. I actually know I am going to have an unreal time. I have gone tanning the last couple days, and I CANNOT wait to be in summer weather again. Unfortunately, it is actually summer there which means it will be around 45C everyday with the humidex. Yeehaw.

Internet costs about a dollar an hour there, so I may leave quick updates during my trip. But I plan on writing all the cool things that happen everyday so I can come back and write about them for the world to see. The question now arises where I am going next... if I don't get into school, maybe Australia for a couple years???

PEACE OUTTTTTTT!!

Thought.

We only run from things that only truly scare us.

Baha.

You are amazing.

I Blame You.

I really needed to fill up my tank of gas today, but I figured I still had a few KMs left. Since I am just so amazing, I took Greg out for dinner to The Keg. Further because I am so amazing, I drove there after I said that it would be better if he drove because I was so low on gas (gas light on for 2 days). However, "it's only 1Km there and back", so I drove "there and back" and dropped him off at Sheridan. On my way out of Sheridan, right at Trafalgar, my car started to go putt putt and putted out in the middle of 2 lanes. C'est la vie. Talk about karma... and you just stood there and silently laughed at me. puhhh.
Anyways good thing I asked for a CAA membership for Christmas, because they were the first people I called... That was the most expensive tank of gas so far - $70.02. Brutal.
I know you will never let me live this one down. However, you were the one pushing the car out of the way, hahahaaaaaaaaaa. Sucker.

Ow.

Not only do I think I am getting sick, I have a gigantic headache. On top of that, I went snowboarding for the first time in at least 4 years yesterday. I did pretty good, but all my muscles are sore. I am a total granny today.
On the bright side, I will fit right in - BINGO tonight!

Facebook.

I had a dream about you last night that reminded me that you actually existed at one point. Then today your ad popped up in my facebook and I shuttered and puked a little in my mouth.

Good Lyrics.

"Your body is like paradise, and I need a vacation."
Bahahahaha.

Ohhhh Britney Spears.





Bingo tomorrow!!!

Yum.

After a stupid day, Bernard Callebaut chocolates make me feel so much better. I think the mix of my favorite chocolates and the endorphins are a delightful combination of happiness for me.

:)

127 Hours.

Whoa.

b-i-n-g-o.

To many people's horrors, I went and played bingo tonight at a bingo hall. I used to go more frequently when I was younger, but it was just as fun as I remember. There are many strange people, which is why I think I fit in so well.
Something very irritating happened - I WAS ONE NUMBER AWAY. Not just any number, but the NEXT number that would have been called. Damn B3. One number too late. I'm not sure how much money I would've won, but who cares? It would have been super cool since I lost a couple hundred at Casino Niagara last week. I'm going to try and make bingo a weekly event. It really is quite lame AND thrilling. For 20 bucks for almost 3 hours, it's pretty cool (for some people).

Don't knock it until you try it.

Today was pretty nice though. Not only was it my day off, I actually went out and did stuff. Greg and I went up to Elora to check out some stores and the gorge, but unfortunately most of the stores were closed, especially the one antique store I really wanted to see. I tried to learn how to do doughnuts in a parking lot, but I need to work on it a little more, I think.I even spent time with my family catching up. To make it even better, I found FOUR pairs of my sunglasses at their place. No sign of my Raybans still!! I really hope I didn't lose them.


Overall, pretty solid day minus one detail. I got Timmies for lunch and they were incredibly short on the butter. It was like eating hard toast, and it chipped off my retainer on the back of my teeth. Now it is sharp rubbing against my tongue. Grrr... more money to spend!

Sidenote: my cat is the cutest and stupidest thing I've ever seen. She is soooo pretty. It's a good thing her name is Madonna because she loveeeeees feathers.

Thailand.

O.m.g. Just booked my 3 1/2 week vacation to Thailand in March! I cannot believe that after 2 years of wanting to go, I am finally leaving in just over 2 months! Soooo incredibly excited!

Cannot wait to ride elephants and lose my pasty white glow.

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!
