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.
