Our new places is right by cook st village, which is the cutest place in victoria and im so stoked for it to be all cold and go to a lttle coffee shop and tell them, i'm a regular now so i feel special when i go in. maybe they can get my drink ready for me before i even get there? its walking distance to all the bars in victoria so i can stumble home without taking a $60 taxi. thank you god. also theres a fish and chip shop right beside our place and cheap movie rentals. what more could i need? Its time to get in shape bc apparently its jogger central, i'll have to whip out the spandys and show em how its done.......

Im packing all day today and moving day is tomorrow! bright and early. Ive been here since i was three so obviosly there's a lot of crap to sort through and get rid of. hopefully i wont find anything that has died in the back of my closet. fingers crossed.

you wouldnt think a spa would be a high stress job... but holy fuck. all my muscles ache and on the drive home i had a minor freak out in the car. or my muscles did... they got really agitated/weird and i felt like if i stretched forever it still wouldnt be enough. there wasnt enough room to straighten my legs so i guess it was a weird claustrophobia thing. hm

2007-11-15T22:59:00.000-08:00

back to the blog it is.

It has been forever since this bad boy got any attention. Time to start her back up again. Since im moving out on dec 1st i'll have a lot of down time and i'm hoping some crazy neighbors that can make my life interesting. maybe an old cat lady or something.

Peter thinks i should get one of those things that you draw on with a pen and it shows up on the computer. It's usually for artists but sometimes handicaps with pens (me) can use them too.

2007-03-18T01:20:00.000-07:00

Oh my god i've never laughed so hard. I was watching Russel Peters and Carlos Mencia all night. Jesus they are hilarious. im watching it right now and laughing by myself.

I have to get up early and go up island for soccer. It's not that far but meghan and i might stop by lulu and get some spanky shorts for our 10K run, ie early morning!

I just wanted to post so i could put up that video, i love him hahah.

I've basically been ignoring the blog the last few weeks, for a few reasons, mostly because i've been so busy i forgot what a computer was and also I was waiting for my Mac to come in so I could get excited. It finally came yesterday after a long week of waiting, definitely worth it. Bought a wireless router too so i'm lying in bed, not too worried about the time because I'm not going to work tomorrow.

Spent most of sunday evening and monday painting my room, with a little help. It's still looking a little bare because i'm trying to clean out most of the shit that has been piling up. I'm liking it though, its a lot more relaxing than the bright yellow it was previously.

Me and meghan have been going to the gym/ run(s) because we're doing the Time's Colonist 10K in april so my muscles have constantly been hurting. no more updates for now, i'm going to try and figure out how to work this thing.

2007-03-08T22:48:00.000-08:00

Yesterday a guy came up to me at the gas station and asked if I pleaassee had any money for the ferry. he had lost his wallet and was 'stuck'. I was a little hesitant considering he looked crazy but I gave him $10. "This better be for the ferry". He asked for my name and number so he could pay me back, I declined. I hope this works somethig like karma. It would be nice for something good to happen.

There is a lot happening in the next week or two, I think i'll update soon, but for now... time for bed.

2007-02-26T22:38:00.000-08:00

Well, leck did his breakup post... I don't think I'm going to do one, even though there would be a lot I could write about. Don't know what I'm going to do with the blog yet, get a new one? Keep this one? Still deciding.

I think i'll do a little shout out to raymi before I end this one. Thanks :)

inks, pens, caps, i love them all!

I have exherted more energy this weekend than i have in a year combined. Friday night was our first soccer game, I felt like a grandma by the end and i think i pulled my hip. We won 4-0 or something. On sunday we played an OVER 35 team. There were 8 of us, and 18 of them! it was freezing and i was still very sore from the other night. They were 2 divisions higher than us and we were pretty much prepared to get killed. There were some pretty butch ladies out there with names like Pam and Judy. I think my check was a midget, not that it matters, but she was better than me and they scored 5 goals in the first 10 minutes. To make a long story short we forfeited part way through the first half when one of our girls sprained her ankle.

I went snowboarding yesterday with meghan, got up at 3:45 am and caught the bus. Snowboarding days are always so long it's exhausting, but worth it. Everything was so funny and it rocked.

I went to lecks last night to shave his head and watch heros but i felt like i was going to throw up everywhere and then i puked in his back yard. classy, i know.

Me and leck rented the illusionist the other day and at the movie place they were selling the new Final fantasy for $24! it was used but barely and I got really excited. This guy that was working there thought it was for leck and was talking to him about it, then he's like actually it's for Caitlin and the guy looked really weirded out and didnt say anything. awkward city. more like geek city.

Im not going to play it for a while, for a few reasons, i havent beat number 10 yet and my FF skills arent' quite up to par. cool

a post.

2007-02-15T17:06:00.000-08:00

I hung out with peter on monday night, we saw Pan's Labrynth. Intense!! it was crazy and awsome and disgusting also. I liked it.

Im sick again and my glands are swelling up huge and it hurts to breath and talk.

Survivor, the office and grey's anatomy is on tonight. Yesss!

Me and leck watched the beauty and the geek finale last night. how good was that? I'm glad megan and scooter won. Cici made me want to barf and scream.

I'm turning 19 in a month or so and leck will be in california with his friends. I'm sad because he'll be having more fun than me on my birthday. Pretty much im sad because he's my boyfriend and it's my birthday and also because im selfish.

an update! the going ons over the last few days:

Me and meghan took the trip to the mainland to do some shopping. We caught the ferry then some busses to get to metro town. thank god she was with me to figure out the bus schedual , i would have been screwed. We shopped for a few hours, spent money i didnt want to spend, then caught another bus, a skytrain and a taxi to the ferries. We had a 2 hour wait before the next ferry and i was already exhausted so it wasnt a very pleasent experience. I watched the silent tv with subtitles on the ferry, and found out anna nicole smith died. it was a sad moment.

Friday night went for some coffee w meghan and brittany, actually i just got V8, and saturday worked and chilled with friends.

This morning was another story. I woke up at 4:30 feeling nauseous. I got up to go do something about it, and halfway down the hall I started puking. I tried to make it outside but pretty much let it out in the middle of the kitchen. Woke up the whole house with my sound effects then went back to bed. It was the weirdest thing, I only had one drink the night before, so there's no way it was alcohol related. I threw up multiple times after that untill 7:30 in the am. the time i was supposed to be meeting the soccer team to drive up to nanaimo for a game. but, because of the whole vomiting situation I didnt make it.

I watched the movie the Guardian. It was ok, nothing special.

I have tomorrow off so i hope this whole sick thing goes away and I can actually sleep in.

When I was 15 I met this guy on the internet named Joel. He was from Steinbach Manitoba. We met through someone and I guess it doesnt really matter how anymore...

We talked an insane amount back then, only on the internet. After a couple of years of talking, Joel moved out and no longer had the internet. it was a sad day, but life went on. There was the odd phone call back and forth, updates and troubles in life, the usual. There was always the talk of meeting some day but who really follows through with those things?

Now that I think about it, Joel was a pretty big part of my mid teens, we had some deep convos... This is sounding like i had a relationship with him but it deffinitely wasnt, just to clarify.

To wrap this up, he made a road trip out here with his friend sean, his cousin and his cousins girlfriend. (not just to see me but i was a stop on the way).

So we met, after 4 something years. Very strange but very cool and fun. Ate some pizza, watched some tv, chilled in the hotel room...

I was doing "guy" I think i was supposed to have the headband on... but the goal is to look depressed and wear the aves and have a cigarette hanging out of your mouth. who knows

another call

2007-02-03T17:16:00.000-08:00

I have my first soccer game tomorrow HAHa I havent played in a year so this will be interesting. Me and my friend Meghan are joining a few months from the end of the season, pretty much because we miss it. We're joining a random league, not even our own so it's going to be funny. I havent done any physical activity in forever so I hope the girls dont hate me and laugh because i cant run.

OH and that guy that i wrote about a few posts ago, the one that called me and masturbated in my ear... he called me again today! I was prety grossed out but this time i tried to talk to him haha i got his name but he wouldnt tell me his last name. then he was gettin off and im like soo are u havin a good day with that? but he didnt answer so i pushed the malicious call trace button and put buddy on hold. what a crazy.

Inbetween calls today i was reading Hi-Fidelity, that peter lent me months ago. I've been reading it on and off because things keep coming off but its amazing and funny so i love reading it. The last paragraph i read today got me excited because it talked about kettle chips. i love kettle chips.

"And then watch one or two of the videos, drink some beer, and eat some crisps, maybe even some kettle chips. Sounds good. Sounds like the sort of birthday a brand new thirty-six year old should have. (Actually, it is the only sort of birthday a thirty-six year old could have - the sort of thirty-six year old with no wife, family, girlfriend or money, anyway. Kettle Chips! Fuck off!)"

The movie was good too.

:( <3

2007-02-01T17:17:00.000-08:00

NOOO I'm soo SAD! My favorite couple on Beauty and the Geek got eliminated. I almost cried. it's not going to be the same without them :(

I called in sick for work today, and did nothing at all. I actually am sick btw, maybe not sick enough for a sick day... but i needed to taker easy. I watched the last samurai again, and then some dr phil and i cried so hard i had to leave.

pretty much i just came on here to write about how sad i am about beauty and the geek, the monitor is giving me a migrane though, looks like it's time for some pills.

2007-01-29T17:44:00.000-08:00

Me and leck went to vancouver for the weekend. With the gov rate we got a $500+ room for $115. It was awsome. I was getting tired of my daily routine so this was a good break.

We ate some greek food, went to science world, spent too much money at metro town, drank a lot of vodka, went swimming, went to ikea and ate whitespot on the ferry.

Voice fetish?

2007-01-25T17:25:00.000-08:00

I'VE BEEN VIOLATED!!! and not in the dumb way! a sickass sex fiend from the states jacked off to my voice today... EW im so sicked out.

I guess i'll break down the story a bit...

Got an email from my manager about this guy who has been calling in talking to girls asking for a store location while making "innapropriate remarks" thats all it said, so I looked up the account by his phone number and saw tons of notes from girls saying such things as...

"..called in to find a store location, asked me to wait for him to get a pen, when i gave him the adress he said 'did i ASK you to give me it yet?' made lewd comments i was really disturbed and told my manager"

"..called in to find store location, making obscene remarks, if calls in again, do malicious call trace and put on hold"

anyways there were tons of these notes and every call to a guy just said "call disconnected" I was sitting there reading these and laughing at the creep when i get a call, so I say my little spiel... look at the name populating on my screen and its HIS! I was like no fucking way, there are 50 call centers with hundreds of people all across the states and canada what the hell are the chances? I thought I put in his number by accident because i was just looking at it but then he asked me for a location of a store in the creepiest voice i was like oh god, its him.

I asked him for his name but he just gave me his zip, when i asked him if that was his number just to be sure i wasn't being crazy he was like "I dont have a number! I never gave you one! just give me the store location"

I was like ook... and then he started jacking off and making the sickest sounds i wanted to puke. He was totally getting off in my ear and it was not a pleasent experience. I pushed the malicious call trace button and told my manager (still listening to him pleasure himself in the background...) I put him on hold and the call dropped.

It was totally disturbing, some f'in psycho calling in every 5 minutes and getting himself off, there are so many screwed up people out there...

I kept checking the account after that and he called in 5 more times after me today.

The girl infront of me actually had him a week ago but she didnt say anything about it because she thought it was a one time thing. She thought she heard him breathing loudly so she turned up the volume and he was deffinitely jacking off and saying her name! ew. she's like, um are you saying my name? and he said "I just need my release!" and she's like um, no i need mine and released the call.

PSYCHO!

add/ocd

2007-01-24T17:38:00.000-08:00

ok i dont know if i have add or ocd, but i think it's a mix between the two, maybe not quite so drastic but im thinking about going to a dr because people are commenting on it...

For as long as i can remember when im driving/in the passenger seat and there's music my foot has to tap the same amount of times between telephone poles (to the beat!), if there's no music my foot has to tap on the same spot a line in the middle of the road goes under the car...? also i count those lines...

When i'm watching tv my foot's always moving and sketching... leck tells me to stop, so i stop and grab something else and start flicking it around. when he takes that from me my head almost explodes from being still. Deffinitely something wrong there... ok now i sound crazy, but it is how it is. I guess I can't just sit still without doing something.

At 3:00 daily the girl next to me at work is like 'here comes the add.." as i start sketching out in my cubicle and flicking stuff around and tapping my pen and tapping my foot and spinning back and forth in my chair.

i like Goooooold!

2007-01-21T23:03:00.000-08:00

What a good weekend. Friday night i was so happy and excited and hyper because i finally got my schedual change, i'm starting earlier, which means getting off earlier and actually get two days off in a row now. (sunday mondays) i took a family day yesterday so 3 DAY WEEKEND! almost unheard of for me these days... let alone a normal weekend. Anyways, friday night I picked leck up from the airport in his sexy suit and we decided to get drunk and chilled at his house with his brothers/friends and girlfriends....

we drank gold. GOLDSHLAGER that is. I said the [real] gold cuts u a bit so it makes you more drunk but i think that may be a rumor....

It was a fun night, gongshow night but a fun one.

We watched tv the next day, had a 4 hour nap, watched Johnny Rooke, some pirates of the Carribean 2 then went to bed at 9:45. those damn gold hangovers...

We saw Blood Diamond today. It was Intense! I was looking forward to seeing a good movie so it made me happy.

I'm already getting excited for next weekend. Im taking saturday off so we can go to vancouver. I'm craving a nice big hotel bed with room service and mini bar. I hate just sitting around all the time, i really want to travel and right now vancouver is the closest option i have. at least for the next couple months...

2007-01-18T14:10:00.000-08:00

Beauty and the Geek is my new favorite show. I laughed, i cried..... why is it so good. i love how the geeks are all awsome and the girls are all slutty retards. Mario and his girl are the best because they are so cute and support eachother. I got so sad when he was picking out clothes and thought he was fat and ugly. :( ahhhh its amazing.

Today's my day off, I slept in, watched Beauty and the Geek and the Kenny vs Spenny "Who Can Imitate The Other Guy Better?" ive decided its the best one i've seen

i just made some shrimp and im dipping them in bbq sauce and salad dressing, i think this is my lunch.

I saw Primevil last night... I deffinitely thought that movie was about a man, but appearently it's about a giant crocodile. It was okkkkk

Leck's in Vancouver so our weekly watching of the Office will be disturbed this week, I'm going to go over to meghan's to watch Greys anatomy.

Also i was trying to beat this boss in FF and i got game over 6 times (i guess i just dont have what it takes) i just beat it and i got so happy i went and told my brother... "are you still obsessed with that thing?" "Uhh no i just tried a couple times...."

whatever i'm going to go have a shower and put on some clothes

weekend

2007-01-15T21:25:00.000-08:00

The weekend was a good one. Leck and I watched Beer fest, so funny. I had to work saturday then chilled with some friends, went to a big party and i have no idea why it never got shut down... but it was fun because i saw people i hadnt seen in a long time. I wanted to sleep in the next morning but any night ive been drinking getting up any later than 8 is almost impossible. uhg.

Sunday was fun because me and leck had a nap and watched the apprentice and ate ice cream and fruit and it rocked.

the golden globes are on tonight and i'm watching them/ am taking a break because it's in the middle part where everything is boring and i dont know anyone.

i really want to watch little miss sunshine again.

2007-01-10T21:20:00.000-08:00

Well I geeked out and bought a final fantasy game which i mentioned below... I think my next step is to become obsessed and fall in love with all of the characters and play all night untill my fingers get cramps and masturbate to slutty FF girls... alright probably not but I have to admit it is pretty ok.

JANUARY THE 8TH 2007

2007-01-08T19:05:00.000-08:00

OK I"M BACK. HI!

I dont think anyone comes here anymore... but its ok. I've been so busy it feels like I havent come on the computer in months except to write the odd email here and there. shit that reminds me I was going to write a birthday email to my cousin... im so bad at doing things.

whats new? um well we got a 52" plasma with shaw pvr (ie tivo) and its the best thing ever. the HD is intense and there's a rave channel so my mom and i danced to that the other night... yeh

Chritmas was good, i miss it. New years was awsome, i miss it too. Now its back into routine for the most part...

Yesterday i bought final fantasy X because thats what cool girls like me do. Also a bunch of clothes because everything was 50% off at sitka, plus other stuff that was 50% off wooooo

Work pisses me off because everyone around me is a downer. there is a crazy lady beside me that is a mental case and screams at people on the phones. she gave me constant updates of the toilet paper situ in the womens bathroom ALL DAY.

anyways, all i feel like doing is having a bath and getting warm. my fingers are too cold for this

before i go, check out the awsome brim on this hoodie. YES

Maybe it wasn't the photographers fault... maybe big foot actually is blurry HAHAAAAhh

2007-01-03T23:00:00.000-08:00

Christmas is so soon! I've wrapped all my presents and put them under the tree. I put a little stocking up ion my cubicle. I made it in sewing class in grade seven. It's been hanging on my wall since last christmas and i never took it down... kind of funny how I took it down 6 days before christmas... but i thought my cubicle needed a little holiday cheer.

Carly had the girls over for a little christmas gathering, we ate lots of food, decorated gingerbread men and did a little present exchange thing. i got some tea(!) and candy etc.

These are my gingerbread men:

Maria made a samurai or something i dont know but i love it. look at the eyes

Anyway im going snowboarding tomorrow so Im going to stay at Meghans tonight so its more convenient in the morning (we have to get up at like 4 eek). I'm excited I hope the weather is ok up there.

I have something to write about but no time so unfortunately i'll have to put it off. OH also all my friends are coming home from school either today or tomorrow!! yay. seeya

goodmorning

2006-12-17T11:56:00.000-08:00

It's the survivor finale tonight and I have to miss it because of a friends party. i am very sad but i'm going to tape it and watch it tomorrow.

Last night had its ups and downs, got off work, some friends picked me up, drank at kevins house for a while, that part was fun. we caught the bus downtown, 10 of us, got off, ate some pizza, and stood in a line up for half an hour. we got there kind of late so it was 20$ to get into the rave. This is around the time i started getting pretty pissed off but it's not important why. We just chilled inside at some tables for a while, it was still kind of early.

uhg i just got tired of typing.

to make a long story short, had some fun there, then my friend got really sick for no reason and we took him to the hospital. Me and Lee met his mom there and we sat in the ER? for an hour or so. One guy was lying in a stretcher and he was clearly high on something... he had fallen and hit his head, and he had his little work buddy there to help. it was entertaining. Then another young guy came in crying so hard i felt like i was in a movie. he was like one of those people in a horror movie who just saw something traumatizing they can never talk again. They took him away and it got boring again. pretty much after all of that i went home and tried to sleep.

maybe i will bring my camera tonight and actually have some new pictures. we're going to decorate gingerbread men.

I was supposed to go christmas shopping downtown today but that fell through, its my day off, it feels like i never have days off... so i don't know what to do now. I wrapped some christmas presents this morning waiting for a phone call i never got, so now it's almost two, i'm still in my pajamas (actually i got back into them after i had a shower), and the only thing i can think about doing is going back to sleep. i hate thinking about things so much.

oh also my dad just came in with the christmas tree!

its the end of the world as we know it

2006-12-13T18:16:00.000-08:00

HeyyY guys. Leck and I went snowboarding on sunday and it was the best. Snowboarding has got to be my favorite thing to do and it was my first time up this season!!! Despite the fact it was really snowy and foggy and cold it was still awsome. I don't remember the last time i was that sore. i really do need to get in shape again. The bus ride there and back is normally tolerable (3 hours) it stops at mcdonalds both ways and plays movies. This time, for some reason, the driver had the movies turned up so loud it was almost painful, I'm not lying, i had to plug my ears in some parts. On the way home they played the Polar Express. I was so excited to see it because it looked so cute but that excitement quickly vanished when the screeching sounds of the train and whistles pretty much broke my ear drums. god

Whatever, I'm going to go up next thursday with some girls, i'm going to make sure the driver has the volume at a descent fucking level.

Last night/today is a hurricane, and walking from the car to work I felt like i was in a movie. I almost flew over and my hair was going everywhere and garbage hit my face and then i couldnt open the door and someone laughed, i think they were watching me struggle. the whole day the building was violently shaking periodically and the lights would flash. scary alert. one time it sounded like a huge tree hit the building and i thought it was the big earthquake coming.

Tomorrow is my day off and so far I have decided I'm going to sleep in, make a christmas card, and make a name tag for work with pictures of cats and cute nerdy things that will make people not want to talk to me. Maybe i will print some stuff to put in my little cubicle. maybe some christmas things! i just remembered i should decorate it for christmas...

I'm done my christmas shopping. I am so proud. maybe I'll get a few other little things but theyre easy enough to get in sidney. no more chaotic trips downtown.

Time to go. i'm going to brave the hurricane once more.

OLD PEOPLE BUTCHARTS

2006-12-09T18:04:00.000-08:00

AHH best night ever last night, I think i had the biggest smile on my face the whole time. First of all I might aswell direct you over to Lecks post because he goes into detail more than i'm planning on. I just wanted to say how aswsome my old lady was. Also Ill be stealing lecks pictures because i didnt bring my camera and i love them.

I was pushing a lady name May and she was so cute and nice, and we sang christmas songs together. we were the only ones singing, and once in a while Leck's one would sing "be bebeb be be" as i cry laughed because my heart broke with love for old people haa. anyways...

the first thing May said to me was "My you're boyfriend is really cute". then on the way out she's like "He really is cute you know. And he seems so nice! Did you know I was married three times? They all died, but they were all wonderful. The last one and me lived in Arizona for 8 years and we had a blast! I'm still looking though. I'm 91 now and I always look when they go by!" awwwwwwwwwww!!!!!! then when we went to her room she showed us a picture of her riding a firetruck last week and she said "you should have seen those firemen, boy was i looking then!" haha oh god i love old people.

read lecks post for other stuff.

2006-12-05T19:02:00.000-08:00

Alright I think i'll catch up on my ongoings the last few days, more for my sake than yours...

I worked 10.5 hours today! whaaaat! i'm going to turn into one of those people where work is there life and they make lots of money but is constantly burned out! nice. i worked 8 hours with a 10 minute break and had lunch at 4:00! i got stuck on a call that took forever and i was getting shaky because i was starving to death.

I've been pretty busy lately... the weekend was a good one, stayed home friday night, tried to straighten my hair but i gave up because my straightener is a peice of shit. Watched the move Accepted, it was slightly entertaining...

Saturday i worked, it was nice and quite because noone really works on saturday. Went to the Sail past that night with leck, we pretty much missed it but it didn't look like there was much to miss.

We didn't know what to do so we decided to drink Gin and watch the family guy movie. We both ended up passing out half way through SNL. I woke up and asked leck to turn the tv off.... "No I'm watching this." (too bad he wasn't, he was turned the other way and sleeping). half an hour later: "can you turn the tv off?" "No i'm watching this sorry" "No you're not!!! you're not even facing the right direction!" . finally at like 3:00 in the morning i wake up again ask him and he turns it off. He doesnt remember any of that so I came to the conclusion that he was drunk sleep talking rather than being mean.

The next day we chilled at white spot, got some VIP service in the comfy chairs and drank organic tea. Did some christmas shopping... I'm almost done, just part of my dad's left and lecks. I'm so excited for christmas i can't wait. We went to the Santa parade and it was really cute :) ate some quiznos and watched the Amazing race.

Yesterdayyy, worked, went sledding on the last bit of snow left on the hill across the street from me. it was really dark and fun and i went off a jump and landed on my tailbone. it hurt at work today. We made a fire and played scrabble and the only reason leck won is because my mom helped him.

Overtime at my work is calculated /day and not week so that is good news for me when i skip days i can just work extra hours and rock it. except i havent done that yet, i'm a pretty lazy person.

Tonight is friday night and I wont be doing anything because i work saturdays. another chunk of my social life gone. great! Also there will be like no one there saturdays so it will be long boring and lonely and i will most likely get pretty depressed.

Tonight I guess i'll watch the greys anatomy i taped from last night. that's all i'm looking forward to right now. I guess I could step up the cool and play zelda by myself on a friday night but I don't know if i'm up for that yet. I havent decided on how far to take this not doing anything on friday nights yet... video games? hmmm

Anyways, tomorrow is the Sailpast, where boats go by all covered in christmas lights and its the cutest thing and i love it. The next day is the santa parade and thats awsome too.

I had thursday off work, i went on friday, I didn't go saturday, sunday was my day off, and today i was snowed in. yea.. so i pretty much never work anymore. it's iffy if i'll even be able to make it tomorrow... part of me is hoping I can so i dont feel like such a lazy ass.

I slept in untill 12ish today, called work and said i couldnt make it in, played zelda a bit because i'm cool like that, and then leck picked me up. we had a lazy day. the best kind. Walked into sidney and it was pretty much deserted... all of the stores were closed, including starbucks which had a pretty big impact on my morale. We watched some tv, fell asleep, kept warm...

When i got home i played more zelda and beat half the Fire temple ooooo! but then i got stuck and fell down this hole that brought me back to the beginning, which quickly ended any fun i was having. I don't know why they do that in games, oh you fall down this hole now you have to start over. NO! it's just dumb. we already played all of that and we dont want to do it again! it just makes us hate your game! uhggg sorry i'm just frustrated.

I think I should go to bed, chances are i'll have to get up and go to work so a good sleep is needed.

wake up call

2006-11-26T22:53:00.000-08:00

blah blah stupid blog, might aswell update or you'll think i'm single and i know i'll get 100's of emails asking me out... aaand we can't have that.

The parade was cancelled today (because of SNOW!) and it's going to be next week now. It's snowing really hard and i wonder if i'll be able to make it to work tomorrow. my truck broke down so my mom will have to drive me. I have to work some overtime this week because i missed a day and i need money and also i cant get a ride home till later.

The snow is awsome and pretty and i love it!

Last night left my stomach in pain this morning. You could say i was drinking my pain away... but that sounds sad and cliche. hah. We went to Kevin's boat and drank beer and ate craisons and smoked and tried to pee off a dock without falling in the water. We tried to take a family portrait but we look like fags. maybe that was the point. oh ya also we finished my absinthe thank god because that stuff is vile.

Title and Registration. who knew it was so true

It's over between me and Ryley, not my decision but what can I do about it? In the end it wasn't my decision to make and there's nowhere to go but forward from here. I'm not going to write about how much it hurts or the thoughts i can't get out of my head because that's just depressing for everyone and i'm not going to focus on the negative.

Here's some things i'm thinking positively about.

I'm ordering a pizza right now, I've been watching Greys Anatomy for a lot of the day and I'm going to go watch some hockey with the guys because maybe guys shouting about hockey will keep my mind off other things. Appearently they want to get'r done grad 26 style. we'll see what that means...

Tomorrow is the Santa parade in Sidney. I'm going to go with my friend Meghan and her boyfriend. yes I've already become a 3rd wheel. awsome! That will make me happy because Christmas is generally a happy time and I really like it.

The mountain opens up on thursday which happens to be one of my days off, so i'll be going up there and doing some snowboarding. My boards been in the shop getting waxed for 2 weeks now, im thinking someone forgot to pick it up because it doesnt usually take that long... anyways hopefully i'll get it back by thursday and hit the slopes. so excited! :)

My friends are coming back from school for christmas, all around the 22nd, so I'm more than excited about that. I havent seen these girls in months and i miss them all. There's going to be some good bonding sesh's when they get back for sure.

I'm thinking about moving to Calgary and going to University there, Ive been looking into some courses and i'd stay in res. I know a lot of people going to school there right now so it wouldn't be a big scary thing. actually it would. but it's time for change. Either that or I stay here and take courses at camosun. my work will cover $2500 of that so that's another good option... i'm going to think on that aswell.

This whole thing has kind of woken me up. i'm tired of being under-appreciated and in the end treated with disrespect. I'm going to step up, get fit again, eat good, look good, work hard, save money and do what i want to do.

I know this wasn't a very good break up post but who wants to write a break up post. So I kind of skipped over it...

edit: oh yea and it really is because of my parents i'm getting through this. i love them. they're helping :)

i pretend to do things

2006-11-25T10:48:00.000-08:00

Just woke up, had dreams about things all night that are no longer a reality for me. I didn't go to work, like I could talk to people about their problems all day when mine are all i can think about. I don't think it's a smart idea to write a blog post about what I'm feeling right now so I'll leave it at that. I'm going to try and keep myself busy

the beach

2006-11-22T22:02:00.000-08:00

i always knew that everything around you that you know and love has the possibility to end in a split second. I tend not to think about stuff like that because why would i? who thinks about stuff like that on a regular basis? well when the things around you that you know and love start slipping away and you can see it, why not do anything about it? Is it because you're scared to change, scared of what you're becoming and scared to do something about it? When you finally figure out what you've become is really nothing like you... do you ask yourself why? Why did i become who i am now? What is even causing this. this isn't me so what's the reason? Am i scared? is this my defense? to change?

I've never been in a situation like this before so i wouldnt know. All i know know is that I have to change back. I don't want to sit here listening to playlists i made for someone and thinking about every amazing memory when we could still be making them.

I feel so frustrated. with everything i let happen, and with myself. my head hurts, my brain hurts and my heart hurts. it's actually hurting. The hole I dug myself is almost too big to climb out of and I just hope that someway I will be able too.

The worst part about it all is knowing this was coming and not doing anything about it.

And i dont know why.

(I just figured out what the most depressing thing to do is. Look through blog archives and find small things like learning standard, buying new shoes and making beach forts)

bored and tired

2006-11-22T17:47:00.000-08:00

I have tomorrow off. I'm going to sleep in and hang out with PG. My back is now permanently sore from hunching all day in front of a computer. i try and stand up and stretch frequently but i guess it doenst help.

I'm actually pretty happy i'm not working tomorrow, it's thanksgiving (for Americans) so i didnt want to deal with holiday spirit when it's not even a holiday for me. boooring.

On the way home i saw some christmas lights on a house. I forgot people put up christmas lights. We doevery year, but i just forgot. they made me happy, but also weird because it doesnt feel like christmas yet.

I dont have anything else to say really, I need to lie down and stretch out my back

dark and twisty

2006-11-19T13:20:00.000-08:00

this was my last weekend off for probably a year. I dont think i really took advantage of it but its ok. Me and Leck saw Stranger than Fiction on friday. it was awsome and you should see it.

Saturday i decided to try an get some christmas shopping done. the malls were already crowded and chaotic and it gave me a massive headache. i didnt really end up buying too much, it was too stressful to concentrate.

I was walking by Urge, the place where i got my other piercing and this girl walking by told her boyfriend, "that is the best place EVER to get a piercing" i agreed... to myself and decided to get another one. i walked in and asked how much is it to get my nose pierced. 55 dollars. Are there any waits right now? No. Ok i want to get my nose pierced. it was a little random and not thought through because i always said i hated nose piercings because everyone had them... and most of the time they looked shitty. but now i have my nose pierced and it hurts.

also i got a new touque.

I met Meghan and Maria and her boyfriend plus his friends Downtown to watch the Santa Parade. it was cute and chrismassy. Pretty much got another migrane from that experience... I was stuck on one side and they were on the other and there was absolutlely no way to get through. People were lined up 8 thick on either side of the road, not to mention the floats were already going down the road so i could have been trampelled! After about half an hour of both parties trying to get across we met up and i climbed a pole to get a better view.

Meghan and I met up at White spot and sat in their comfy chairs and drank tea for a long time and ate hot fudge brownies. The best part about it all was we didnt have to pay :)

Came back to my house, showed my parents the piercing, which they figured wasnt as bad as they were picturing. my mom said something along the lines of... "I Hate those! I hate you!" on the phone... we watched an episode of Greys Anatomy, then rolled off to a party. we went and got macdonalds and it was amazing. I saw friends I hadnt seen in months so that was exciting. Ok well i'm going to go find something to do untill i hang out with leck. seeya

Sunday was the best day. it was my moms birthday and me and leck bonded with the fam the whole day. my grandpa came over and we went for breakfast-lunch (brunch). i had a really good burger. we played games and ate lots of food and made a cake and gave presents and me and leck made amazing cards.

Also my mom made us take "family portraits" so that was AWSOME

ps James Blunt is on Ellen right now and he's sooo awkward! it is painful

leck and i started watching Closer last night. i love that movie so maybe we can finish it tonight. i've pretty much just been watching Greys anatomy over the last few days but with NO MUSIC which is a crime because that show has amazing music. depending on what hole i put the cord in it has 1) voice and no music or 2) music and no voice. that cheap dvd player i got is either a) um cheap or b) i dont know how to set up sound settings.

today was tiring and i wish i got off work earlier. i get out of work and it's dark and depressing. im hungry right now and tehre's noone here to make me food.

he's going to kill me for putting up that picture. AW

birthday

2006-11-12T11:01:00.000-08:00

its my moms birthday today. i got her slippers. At walmart i tried to buy those rubber car mats for her (from my dad) and it said insuficient funds. i had to pay half cash half debit. i got paid yesterday.... so now i have to go 2 more weeks with 5 dollars. jawsome

me and leck are going to make a cake today for her birthday. my grandpas coming and im excited because he's so cute and funny.

Yesterday i bought Greys anatomy season 2 so that's pretty much what i'll be doing for the next week. I'm going to go make a birthday card in bed and watch an episode. bye. and also i will post something interesting soon. something very interesting..... hmmmmmmm!!.?

k-fed up . ooooooooo

2006-11-09T17:58:00.000-08:00

oh god. i think The Office is getting cancelled.

"With the Scranton Branch closing, Michael struggles to keep spirits up."

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!? CLOSINGGGG

Also as of monday my life will become an official routine, i join a team and my regular shifts start. The job's going good so far, im liking it. I havent had too many angry people and if they start scaring me i give them free stuff.

Survivor is on tonight and they have "10 seconds to decide their fate in the game!" i have a sad life.

me and leck went skating last night. i wish i had a video camera it was the best. first off i suck really bad and he hadnt been since grade five. I think we did pretty good because we didnt fall.

skating was the best when you were little because you had those metal things you could push around and go so fast and never fall. also those plastic car things you could get pushed around in.

im hungry bye

running with scissors

2006-11-07T20:31:00.000-08:00

today was good. work went fast. a customer wanted to talk to my manager because i helped her so much. i gave her an email address. i think she loved me because i made a mistake and gave her a phone for really cheap. either way... i'm pretty much employee of the month...

After work i went downtown and met up with Meghan and Ali. we went to Ferris' grill. Peter showed me it on sunday and i fell in love. with the food. the food was really good again tonight and i ate too much. but i guess it wasnt too much because after that we walked to the ReBar and had desert. mmm. now i'm home and House is on tonight so i'm excited. Kevin from The Office is on it and he rocks so it will be good for sure.

SO yea, back to sunday... i went to see Running with Scissors with Peter. It was really really good, and really really strange but in a good way. i felt bad laughing because it's one of those movies they want to make you laugh in but then feel bad about it because technically it shouldnt be funny. also its based on the actual life of this guy so also that makes it not so funny....

ok i just watched the trailer and now i want to see it again. here it is because i have no pictures to put up:

maybe tomorrow

2006-11-05T12:30:00.000-08:00

today i'm hanging out with peter. we never know what to do with ourselves so we will see what happens. i'm pretty sure i'm not going to be able to convince him to watch the amazing race, so i'll have to tape that one and save it for later.

my stomach still feels nauseous, and it's been that way for 3 days now. i hope it will clear up today. i can't handle too much more of this.

i hope my posts are more positive starting after this one... i think im going skating tomorrow so that will be interesting times seeing as i havent put on a pair of skates in years.

remember how we used to laugh at that?

2006-11-03T18:33:00.000-08:00

no one wants to read a downer post. but what about a revelation one? hmm maybe i could make it into that... we'll see.

lately my life's felt weird and upside down and different. i think it's a mix of a lot of things. i think maybe starting a new job is adding some stress aswell. The other night i found myself sitting up in bed, several times, saying out loud : "Thank you for calling business care, my name is caitlin...". Someone at work told me it was because i felt unfulfilled after work hours and i was resorting back to something stable i knew during the day. i said "thanks for the therapy session..." but then i thought maybe it is true... that day/evening was a rough one for me. who knows. the person who said that also told me to do crafts before i go to bed, so obviosly there is something not quite right there.

I don't know why i've been feeling differently really... ever since i got back from Europe my emotions have been up in the air. coming back from an amazing trip and realising you have to rejoin reality can sometimes screw up emotions. what i'm wondering is why havent they gone back to normal?

Today was a bad one for sure. work was stress x 100. every call was an angry american screaming at me to fix their problems. i had a migrane and too much on my mind. after work i deffinitely needed someone to talk to. probably the most helpless i've felt in a while. nothing i can do to make myself feel better, or anyone else feel better. all i needed to get through the night was a little "its going to be ok". but it wasnt there. i couldnt tell myself that because how do i know? the only thing i know is that my brain doesnt feel the same and i dont know what to do about it. it's a weird feeling. knowing you're different than you were a few weeks ago and knowing there's nothing to do about it.

my mom came into my room, thinking i was sleeping but found me crying with a cat on my back and mascara running into my nose. My whole life i've been the worst at talking about my feelings, especially with my parents. i decided to talk anyways because what else was i going to do? I talked forever and cried forever and felt better than i have in a long time. i actually got out what i wanted to and was able to say it how i wanted to. if i knew my mom was going to be this helpfull i would have gone to her a long time ago. It felt good having another perspective on things.

of course she went and told my dad because i guess that's what married people do? anyways im not too worried. I needed to stop my brain from processing any thoughts so i went to a movie with them. (flags of our fathers. interesting) i turned my phone off. it's still off. i dont need to talk to anybody. turns out talking really doesnt do me any good anyway. came home and watched greys anatomy with my mom, cried, because it's amazing, and not because of anything else, came on here and now it's time to sleep. the whole night i was planning on how to fall asleep without letting my brain take over thoughts. we'll see how that one goes.

the end.

now it's work.

2006-11-02T16:32:00.000-08:00

i miss these times too :(

This is pretty much just a general shout out to everyone.
SHOUT!
Pretty much, just because, we are that cool and we can do that.
So i was kinda reminiscing about the good times :(
(Its November im allowed to do that)

Parklands parking lot, our great school staff who are hillarious, camping, starbucks, movies, parties, tea, grant, techno, grad 2'6, summer, school events, and just roaming the halls.
I miss it, and i miss you losers. So keep living the dream and keep it alive. Grad 2'6 for life.
Dave.

2006-11-01T20:58:00.000-08:00

what a great day! woke up. went to work. got off work. went home. went to bed. woke up. went back to bed. came on here, now its time for bed. good thing i have a life

PIRATES!

2006-10-30T17:15:00.000-08:00

We were pirates. we went to a rave, and drank captain morgans... because he was a pirate...

leck had some sick scars and i put makeup on him and i thought he made a very good pirate. i just looked like a tool.

my parents were going to a halloween dinner party that night and they had to dress up as something that scared them. and guess what they were.... "gangstas". it rocked.

So anyways, time for a nap because i started calls today and i'm worn out. as lame as that sounds. i don't think i screwed anyone up too bad, at least not that i know. i also didnt get screamed at but i think i just got lucky.

hello

2006-10-26T15:47:00.000-07:00

Me and leck are going to be pirates and go to a halloween rave. we went to a thrift store and also sifted through my 'dress up box'. i found a cool wig and nose and stuff. that was my hat from my "where's waldo" costume. ps that isnt my pirate costume.....

oh btw i have to take my first live call tomorrow at work and i am freaking out. i'm probably more scared than i have been in my whole life. no joke. i dont think i will be able to sleep tonight. monday will be the worst becaue i actually start the calls full time so we'll see how that goes.

Last night me and leck went to the salmon kings opener. it was really sad because they lost but also fun. if they won we would have got $10 to the spaghetti factory. UHGH. i had cramps x100 and got grumpy. we ate macdonalds.

2006-10-24T18:24:00.000-07:00

I need halloween costume ideas NOW!

update

2006-10-22T11:15:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was pretty awsome. it included a trip to the imax and an electric chair. I met KP and Kluge dt and we looked through records for over an hour. kevin is an obsessive disk jokey. it was a pretty sweet store i didnt know existed and it had sweet clothes (that were too expensive) and a hair salon and records etc. We decided to see an imax... The Mystery of The Nile. It was so intense. i love the imax. Kevin wanted to go to Trounce alley, to the Nightmares thing.. I don't really get it but we chose one called the Hot seat. I was pretty scared and i screamed a lot but it wasnt actually that scary. Jason got electrocuted (um does anyone else think that word looks weird?) in an electric chair and we watched/got attacked by things.

We met up again in Sidney, making some stops such as Smittys, the liqueur store, daves house, kevins house and finally kluges house. the end. my grandpa is here now so that means i have to go and bond/ not hide in here and write about my day. seeya

Barry White Bathroom Dancing

2006-10-21T13:10:00.000-07:00

YESSSSSSSSSSSS :D

2006-10-19T15:03:00.000-07:00

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW I AM THE HAPPIEST PERSON ON EARTH.

warning: long boring post about something in my life that makes me happy. Because my life isn't generally exciting i will draw this out to make it sound even better.

reason:

my favorite childhood -> pre-teen show was Ally Mcbeal. It was amazing and i was obsessed and i loved/love it so much. for multiple reasons. mainly because the characters were awsome and they all slept together and hallucinated and danced in the uni-sex bathroom. i loved the dancing. oh and the dancing baby. I wanted to become a lawyer because it looked like the best job ever but then my mom told me it wasn't actually like that and i changed my mind. OK so in Scotland last year i was in a used music shop and i bought season 3 on dvd. i asked the lady if it would work in Canada and she said yes. I was so excited because i hadnt seen Ally in forever and also i dont even think u can buy it over here... When I got home it didnt work and you needed a region free dvd player (which i did not have). I put them on a top shelf so i didn't have to be reminded of what could have been, and continued on with my life. Last week, leck saw an add for a region free dvd player for $47.00!!! so i went down and bought it. tried the dvd's. and it didnt work. GOD! Yesterday i got a call from my dad at work and appearently i had to leave the disc thing open, put in a 4 digit code and change the region. um thanks for telling me that when i bought it and thanks for giving me the code! god. so... after a year of waiting they can finally play and my life is now complete. now i just need all the other seasons! i made a fire yesterday and ate lots of food and watched it and it was the best day ever.

I almost cried at work today also. We were having lunch and i was telling a story. and appearently i say "like" a lot. but so does everyone "like" when you're telling a story etc, it just comes out. The old guy is really stubborn with his old ways and thinks anything he doesnt believe in is pretty much crap, ie religion, cell phones, or correct grammar. whatever. he sits and counts on his fingers everytime anyone says "Like" and laughs. the first time it was funny, because i didn't realise i said it so much, the next 5 times was annoying, and today it was the worst thing ever. i was trying to tell this story, and he was just sitting beside me counting on his fingers and finally i got so mad and i was like "ok i'm not even going to talk anymore!" i was raging. i think he felt bad but i was too pissed off to care. LEAVE ME ALONE ASSHOLE. UGH

Weekend

2006-10-16T17:36:00.000-07:00

We carved Pumpkins!

We had a fire!

We had beer and popcorn and made Ghosts!

We got excited over SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!

And I got scared... :O

Old Guy we play tricks on at work!

2006-10-15T12:01:00.000-07:00

one friday the 13th i saw a ghost in a graveyard

2006-10-13T15:11:00.000-07:00

so we changed the old guy's mouse to a running horse that changed into a dinosaur when it went over a link. also i made the mouse move realllyyy slow. i was cry laughing it was so funny. he was so scared. he was like "umm, there's a running horse at the top of my screen... what do i do?" then he was like "Boy this mouse is moving sluggish" it was great.

Then we played jeopardy for 1.5 hours, then simpsons jeapordy for .5 hours. and got payed. we were the "digital monsters". One of the categories was "songs from a disney movie" our teacher read out the answer... "Little Wooden Head" and everyone cry laughed for ten minutes because it was friday and also funny. (it was from pinnochio)

me and leck watched the Lord of the Rings trilogy last week. Leck had never seen them before so obviosly that needed fixing. They were so much better the second time through... maybe because we watched them closer together... anyways i got pretty angry at the end when everyone was like ohhh Frodo is such a hero blahblah.... Frodo was a pussy and Sam was the one doing all the work and saving him and looking out for him and not giving up like fucking frodo. also i think gandalf should have been doing more magic... he was a white wizard and all GOSH. and wtf was up with him getting on a boat at the end to leave middle earth? WHERE DID IT GO? he just left all his friends. horrible.

leck got me Emily Haines' new cd and I really like it.

hellogoodbye

2006-10-12T15:13:00.000-07:00

We have an assessment at work each week, if you get below 80% YOU'RE FIRED! so far i havent been fired and today i finished an hour and a half early so i went to Roseas house for a while. that broke up the work day a bit. Jason texted me from work and told me we had to be back by 9:20 now. (10 minutes from then) i was like SHIIiiitttt i'm going to get fired! but i was only a couple minutes late after speeding/sprinting.

Tomorrow when the old guy leaves his computer we're going to turn his mouse pointer into a dinosaur. we get our entertainment from small places.

it's friday tomorrow already which is cool, also means i get my first paycheck in over a month.

too bad i have nothing to write about anymore.... i go to work at 6:30 in the morning. i come home and have a nap. i see leck. then i sleep. repeat.

thank you for this blog

2006-10-09T22:08:00.000-07:00

HEY GUYS. Happy thanksgiving.... what a good holiday. i liked saying, "oh i just watched lord of the rings and got payed for it." or "oh... i just got starbucks, drank it, said hi to peter and got paid for it." etc...

me and leck road our bikes to mattics farm and played mini golf and got ice cream. he won. also i stole the speakers from his van so now my truck will be pimped. unfortunately i'll still look like an old man when i drive it.

also i got a photo album for my europe pictures.

oh! saturday night live is on tonight! i'm never home for it. yess! rick rick rick rick!

edit: ok i went out. i stayed in bed untill 11:30. i couldnt stand being alone with my thoughts though so i went out. techno solves all of my problems.

instant coffee

2006-09-26T16:43:00.000-07:00

i have 2 friends in my training class. one is a 60 year old man named chris and the other one is Jason. i was sitting with them at lunch and this other girl and i went to put my parking pass on the truck and when i came back chris was like, "we were talking about you" and i'm like "umm, ok..." and he said "don't worry it was good" and the chick was like " yea it was really good" and i'm like um why are these people even talking about me, thank you for making my lunch an awkward experience... He said i was very adept and about 100 other things, that i don't remember because i tried to block the situation out of my head.

Oh and the reason i now have friends is because they moved me from my loner window seat to the other side inbetween those 2. i miss my parkade view.

2006-09-25T22:07:00.000-07:00

it's not even that the job is that bad... It's like school but I'm getting payed for it. I drink coffee in the dark on the way to work and get to watch the sunrise on a parkade from the window of my second floor classroom.

i don't know what's giving me this stressed/uneasy feeling in my stomach. yes i have a job, but i want a better one. is there ever going to be a good enough job? maybe. not anytime soon.

I think i did this all wrong... I think i was supposed to save up money, then go to school like the rest of my friends, then eventually work towards a job i will be happy in. and yes i know i'm 18, but i feel like i'm wasting a year working a shitty job/ multiple shitty jobs that aren't really getting me anywhere.

i need to get up at 5:30 tomorrow so i'm already up too late. sleep tight. i'll try too.

new job = end of caitlin's life

2006-09-24T21:19:00.000-07:00

BTW i start a new job tomorrow and I want to cry. I haven't worked in over 4 weeks, and also this is the first job i've worked since my very first job at a little garden nursery. It's at West. Not really looking forward to it but it has to be done. I'm going to be working 7-2:30 for the next 6 weeks, training, then on to the regular schedual of 8:30 to 4:30.

I'm going to wake up at 5:15 tomrrow, cry, drive in the dark to work to get there early to pick up my "identification badge" and "parking pass", then sit at the back of the classroom, avoiding all possible contact with anyone whilst crying on the inside. It will be a great day.

oh. i have to go make my lunch because i don't want to get fat at this job, i heard it happens so no vending machines or microwave meals for me.

Pictures

2006-09-23T13:03:00.000-07:00

I got Flickr and uploaded some pictures from Europe.

cowboy yea

2006-09-20T23:38:00.000-07:00

The other night my parents had a dinner club at our house. they do this thing where 6 famillies or so get together every few months and have a dinner at different houses, and there's always themes and they all dress up and get drunk. this time it was at our house and the theme was cowboy.

sometimes they get kind of competitive but our themes always suck, so this year my dad decided to get a keg. who knows why since there were only 3 families coming. they had little competitions like shooting a pellet gun at targets, and bows and arrows, etc, all that cowboy type stuff.

anyways i turned out to be the best at the pellet shooting and shot the picture of my dad in the middle 3 times. i think everyone was a little scared.

obviosly the keg didnt get finished off because there was like 5 people drinking out of it. so we drank a lot of beer over the next few days.

god my family is a gong show.

hi

2006-09-20T18:00:00.000-07:00

i worked for 9 hours today... at my old job that i had quit. oh and it was raining. i said i'd cover because a couple of them were going to a garden show in vancouver. i guess i wouldnt really call what i did today work, the only shitty part was that it was cold and raining but i could take cover and drink hot chocolate when it got bad. i took almost a 2 hour break then a 5 hour one after that... i dont know when i'll get paid... i'm guessing it will be in cash.

I need to make the phonecall that will start me on a 9-5 but i'm scared to pick up the phone. i do really need to start making money so i can pay off the few thousand i owe and start saving so i can move out.

i also need to upload pictures but im too lazy, i also can't find the time which is weird because it's not like im doing much, i don't go to school or work...

i'm just on here because im waiting for leck to come over. he has to beat the queen on starfox first ;) the good thing about him moving back to his mom's is its about a 1 minute drive from my house. we're going to make dinner and my mom suggested we play some games tonight so maybe we'll bond it up with the fam and put on a fire. celebrate fall a day early.

funny story (not):
I got a bit of a stomach in europe. nothing to scary or anything but the whole time im like uhggg i need to eat healthy my tummys getting big. and the whole time leck was like shutup you're not getting fat and my aunt was like um no. anyways the second i come home my mom tells me my dad thinks i'm pregnant. thanks dad

2006-09-19T10:56:00.000-07:00

My gums are eroding away thanks to the labret piercing. eroded gums! it's what i always wanted! anyways the guy said i couldnt do anything about it except put a plastic backing in that might be easier on them. if not i have to take it out before my teeth fall out. that would be awsome. so it looks like this piercing will be short lived, but at the moment i look like a g-unit because its a diamond.

This is the return of the space cowboy Interplanetary good vibe zone

2006-09-15T19:57:00.000-07:00

I watched my grad dvd the other night. it made me tear and smile. i loved my grad class. everyone was so close + frickin funny. always good times. anyways now that i'm back home it feels weird and i feel lost, friends have moved away, i didn't get to say bye, others are going to school and i haven't done anything. i still don't have a job and i'm pretty sure i need to find one fast because of the amount of money i now owe my parents.

Yesterday i helped leck move and we watched SURVIVOR with my parents. The amazing race is starting, as is House and The Office, so it's back to the old fall routine of letting the tv schedual determine my social life. i'm perfectly fine with that. if a friend calls me during survivor THEN THEY'RE NOT A FRIEND! they should know their place....

btw my favorite team are the asians.

today was a pretty shitty one, had a bad morning with my mom and then i was in a bad mood. went shopping with leck, he got some dress shirts and pants.

my parents are having a dinner group tomorrow and the theme is Western... or cowboy or something, so i'll be there to steal appetizers and watch adults make drunken cowboy fools of themselves. always a good time. me and leck will be space cowboys.

Back from Euroland

2006-09-14T09:49:00.000-07:00

we're finally home! i thought those last couple days would never end, not that they werent fun but the part where we missed our plane sucked. and also sleeping in the airport and having the plane delayed...

The trip was amazing, so many memories and so many pictures. I'm just starting to try and organize them. it's a pain naming them all but i think in the long run it would be worth it.

I realised so much over the course of the trip, and deffinitely came back with some new insights to life. but all that is boring really.... just some good things i can change in my life...

I woke up at 8 this morning, i've already done two loads of washing and i'm trying to think of something else i can do to feel productive. I'm going to buy a new toothbrush today because mine is really gross and smells like mold from the toothbrush holder.

I'm also trying to think of what I can do with all of the pictures we took. maybe i'll just host a few of them somewhere because there are too many really...

breif overview of the trip....

2 nights in Paris, 2 nights in Nice, 3 nights in Barcelona, 1 night in Brussels, 4 nights in Amsterdam, 1 night in London, 7 nights in Scotland, 2 more nights in london. one was spent in an airport with a sore tailbone.

oh yea, and Leck Shaved his head in brussels. + now has a beard.

2006-09-12T03:42:00.000-07:00

ps. we missed our flight back to Canada. we'll hopefully be back on wednesday. FUCK

2006-08-30T03:23:00.000-07:00

2006-08-18T15:59:00.000-07:00

catching the 9:00 am ferry to vancouver tomorrow. the plane leaves at 4:30, stops in calgary then lands in Paris. im half packed but im waiting untill leck gets here because im scared to put my stuff in my backpack. i don't know why.

there might be an update or two along the way, stopping in an internet cafe, hopefully i wont die, way up there in the sky... ok time to go bye.

eurocountdown 2 sleeps

2006-08-17T22:27:00.000-07:00

I feel so nauseous right now. i dont know what to do. i feel like i should go make myself throw up and feel better but i hate that so maybe i will just suffer.

today was an emotional one for sure. last day of work at the place ive worked at for 2.3 years. my first job!! awww my boss is sooooo cute and the girls i work with are amazing so i was choked. my boss wrote me a letter and at the bottom it said "have dinner in paris on us" and had $100 in it! aww so yea as i was driving out i started crying... then i got home and read the letter she wrote and started bawling. kind of made a scene. well i was in my truck just sitting there crying and im pretty sure the neighbors thought something serious had happened. it was just one of those days.

hung around home for a bit packing little things i need to remember to bring and putting music on my ipod etc. went to sidney and met up with jess and meghan for some coffee. started crying again when i said bye to jess cause i wont see her for months and months and months. also my friend leslie is moving away and i wont be able to see her before i leave and by the time i'm back she's already gone. great. and now im here, about to puke. oh and it doesnt help that i'm actually sick... with a cold... so i'm coughing and everytime i cough i think im going to throw up a lot.

my labret piercing is hurting.

tomorrow will be all about packing and stressing over the things i probably forgot and then not sleeping because of nervous excitement.

alarma

2006-08-16T22:42:00.000-07:00

3 more sleeps untill europe, 1 more day of work, 1 more paycheck + holiday pay, 1 backpack to pack, lots of stuff to go in it, 1 hair cut and about 1000 things to do before saturday morning. ahhg

Juts got back from jessica's, chilled at the beach for a while, pretty much the last time i'll see her untill april. biggest downer ever. best friend since elementary school so i'm sad.

she sent me lots of random pictures from the last month or so, i put them in a random folder because i really dont want to deal with sorting them out.

Jessica's dad made me a label with his label printer with my name and number to stick on my camera incase i lose it. i dont know if i will stick it on.... maybe on something else. maybe i should get a label printer. think how much fun one of those would be....

today i went to the drugstore and bought, mini toothpastes, mini shave gel for leck, mini shampoo and mini conditioner. also a pizza bun and energy bar for lunch tomorrow. the pizza bun doesnt look as pizza-ey as usual

im listening to benny bennassi but its way too late for that and its making me want to die.

today at work i was planting up plants from satan. actually the worst thing ever. they are normal plants but they have little stickers on them so if you even touch them, you get tiny little needles EVERYWHERE stuck in your skin and if you even think about trying to get them out they dig deeper and break off so they are stuck. it was AWSOME. they are called California Glory if you were wondering...

ps i cant believe im going to be in paris in 3 days. doesnt feel like it. im freakin excited though. kind of scared...

i just looked at this picture for so long. i was thinking about how i'd look back on it 20 years from now and be sad/happy. it's just cute, and also sums up our friends pretty well i think.

ok im rambling. goodnight.

edit: i just read this post over and it sounded like 90 different people wrote down random usless pieces of information that just happened to come into their head at that moment.... im pretty sure if i read any one of my posts i'd get the same kind of feeling....

dance club remix VIIIX V2.0001

2006-08-13T13:18:00.000-07:00

GUESS WHAT I DIDNT DRINK LAST NIGHT EVEN THOUGH EVERYONE ELSE WAS HAMMERED!

it was really weird and people were like WTF you square and im like YO SHUT UP. i am drinking my V8 and i am having more fun that you, person puking in that toilet. then i pretended to shotgun my v8 and everyones like um ok bye.

so, a succesful night of soberness was had except for the responsibility of designated driver that is the worst. all i did was drive, dance to some techno, drive, drivive and do water aerobics on the deck. there was a meteor shower so at the end of the night everyone piled on to the trampolione with sleeping bags and watched it. it was cute and brought back old memories.

we were at this ghetto party for a while, so many frickin people all chillin outside and the cops never showed up, which was really weird and her mom was like chilling inside in pajamas. im like this isn't normal. too many randoms and gangsters though so i made everyone go over to jessicas for a better time.

so the bbq is startin in a bit, i set up a volleyball net and ping pong and foosball and giant soccer ball. grade 5 all over again yessss!!!! kevins bringing his tables and has a whole set put together so that will be sweet then im going to try and learn and i will probably become a dj.

porn star

2006-08-12T11:24:00.000-07:00

I finally found a camera that would fit my old memory card. the camera i got after the one i threw had a different size so the canada day pictures remained a mystery untill yesterday. they are here if you care. they are boring.

Kevins was alright... we watched porn for a while cause we got there early.. and i really dont get it. how do guys get off to that?! the girls are always so nasty. whatever. 4 girls in his room watching porn, the door slowly opens and his mom comes in... puts on her glasses and she's like "what is THIS!" huge closeup as this girl is feelin herself up... "I don't want this!!!!!" haha it was awsome. i scored a penis straw and did a few shots out of a penis shooter... it was interesting. oh yea and i abandoned the porn star theme and went more with the sporty spice-fag theme. cool.

Went to Dave's after and chilled in his hot tub and ate pizza. good times except i woke up at 7 this morning and couldnt get back to sleep. it was lame.

working in a bit then jess is having a party.... i was planning on drinking but my parents have voiced their concern over my amount of alcohol consumption so i might just ease their minds tonight and take it easy... we shall see.

im having a bbq tomorrow and it will probably be really boring and everyone will leave within the first hour but whatever. i told kevin to bring his tables so maybe it will be fun.

extreme!! old man and the sea!

2006-08-11T18:13:00.000-07:00

HI GUYS.

my friend kevin is having a "birthday" party tonight and of course he had to make it a gay ass theme like "porn star". UHG so pretty much all the girls have to dress slutty and the guys just dress normal? he bought cock shooters and penis straws so this will be a gongshow and sausage fest for sure. some of my friends went and made costumes and i totally haven't, no porn star for me. i think i will change the theme to mormon and not tell anyone...

also the girl i work with went to get my some alchy and she got me a 26 of fireball and a 6 pack of kokanee. yeeeaa..... i really don't need that much but thanks anyways. i guess there were no mickeys.... im not going to drink a lot because i feel sick and i puked at work today. on the bright side, i dont work untill 1:00 tomorrow and then i only have 3 days left at the nursery. i've been there for TWO AND A HALF YEARS! maybe i will cry on my last day?

leck is camping and is out of service for 2 days so that will be sad and lonely.

k bye

OH also leslie had a games night and we played apples to apples and I WON! out of 15 + people. fuck i rock it hard.

It's not fun. Don't do it!

2006-08-10T18:25:00.000-07:00

There is a kid that comes into our work who is probably the most awsome kid ever. his name is lucas. the other day i walked over to him and he was like "WOW!!! you smell SO good. I just love all you ladies!!" um ok you are not allowed to hit on us untill you are at least ten! then he was like "Look what i can do!!!!" and crossed his legs then jumped and crossed them the other way. i was impressed.

So many creepos come into my work and hit on us. it's so annoying. they all have the same pick up line... "you have the nicest tan!" barf. we have the same responses too, "yea well thats what happens when you work outside" or "the tanlines suck though." when the girl i work with said that to one guy he pulled down her shirt strap and was like "yeeeeeaa" and i was like DON'T TOUCH HER!!! GOSH!!!

Update from the cousin in Scotland:

"i've got my flat now so we'll be able to have many a crazy night in the student's union and not have to worry (i think freshers week is on when ur over which has lots of famous people and cheap drink, plus ur legal here!!!" YESSS

OH I just remembered Tegan and Sara's DVD came out a couple of days ago. I might just have to go and get that...... actually yes i will ok bye

coffee attack

2006-08-08T17:24:00.000-07:00

Today i am going to be productive and try to clean my room and also finish the task of sewing canda flags onto backpacks. me and leck tried last night and after feeding him 3 or four chill pills we decided to give up because it was a lost cause. hopefully it will fit under a sewing machine or i will resort to glue. or my mom...

Saturday i went to the lake for a bit but it was too windy and cold to stay forever. i also parked in a non parking zone so that also shortened my visit. went over to simons house for a bbq and some drinks. i had a large amount of beer, more than i have stomached in a while and i am surprised i didn't get sick. his house is sweet though and he has a hottub that has fountains and fun lights. too bad i didnt have a bathing suit, i'd be all over that thing. he had baby kittens in this room that i went to visit every 5 minutes because obviosly i like kittens more than being social. duh.

Chilled it there for a while, then got a ride to lecks around the corner where i crashed. they were playing mario kart so i played one race, lost and went to bed.

went to smittys for breakfast, then me and leck went down to see Talladega Nights. obviosly that was amazing and funny. i love will farrell. ate a salad at my house, tried to sew on our flags, gave up then watched the pianist.

today i worked and the weather decided to go from a heat stroke to a wind/rain storm. it went fast though. ps what is it with people and their godamn dogs!! FUCK. probably the worst part of my job is telling people to put their dogs in their car... these people are retarded!! everyone gets soo pissed off at us if we ask them to put their dog back. i'm like ok... sorry for the inconvienience you bitch. walk 5 steps backwards and you'll be at your car. do you really need your gay ass little dog to follow you everywhere you go? im sure it will survive the 5 minutes you spend looking around but now less because you are too pissed off at us to buy anything. OF COURSE. one lady was like UHGGGGGG GLARE GLARE, I DONT THINK I SHOULD HAVE TOO....... we look over at the dog and it's pissing on a fountain. im like ok you cunt. im not even going to say anything. maybe it's because im more of a cat person but i dont get it.

spends lives

2006-08-06T13:50:00.000-07:00

yesterday was jawsome because it was filled with random events which all blended together to make a random fun day and also chilled with my parents so that was COOL.

Got leck out of bed, got some pizza and subway and caught a BUS downtown, after waiting for an hour for it to come. We caught a bus instead of simply driving because we were expecting a drunken gongshow at The racetrack, where my parents would then drive us home but unfortunately things did not work out in that way.

Walked around a bit downtown, decided to buy a mickey of captain morgans, and a big gulp from seven 11 = fun drinking times. We went to see when Ricky Bobby was playing but it was going to be too late, so we went to Johnny Zees and played some INTENSE TETRIS and also Air hockey. (Shuffle board. but leck got mad when i called it that... anyway) got another big gulp and finished off the mickey at an Electric Music Festival goin on at Open Air. I was pretty confused about the whole thing.... pretty much just watching people on leashes dancing around to the music etc... whatever.

My parents picked us up... we thought we were keeping it pretty cas but later my mom was all way to get drunk in the middle of the day pretty much. oh well. We got to the place and saw some sweet Go-Karts we obviosly had to go on. even though intoxicated.... made for a better time. and SAFER. Some old guy was trying to pass me with his little daughter and I thought it was Leck so i was fingering them then he passed me and im like oh.... innapropriate. but then leck actually passed me and i felt like a grandma driving a scooter so i passed a little girl to make myself feel better. it was good times. tried to have sex in a bathroom but little children were waiting... again, innapropriate. We tried to find where they were selling beer at the racetrack but appearently they are fags there so none was to be had.

My parents were so stoked about the races and stuff and it was pretty sweet untill my back started hurting and also my eyes. there were dirt bikes and demolition cars and demolition trucks and demolition figure eights and we saw 2 guys get run over and lecks cars always seemed to win. also my moms. my dads would always crash and get last.

went back to lecks, drank some beer, watched some snl and random movies on YouTube/will farrell ones then went to bed. leck was swearing in his sleep and im like umm whats wrong and he's like, its ok im just drunk in my dream.... ok? haha

alrighty im ouuuutta here laterr

MYSPACE

2006-08-04T16:41:00.000-07:00

HI OK this is about myspace. i dont get it but i have it and sometimes i go on there to waste time, and by sometimes, i mean never except for the last couple of days because peter brought it up at matthew good. and now there is a post about it. I dont really know where this post is going and i know i dont have a point, but anyways i'm down with myspace because who cares? its just a dumb site. who cares if its good or bad or if there's emo's or not. its just a site and whatever. the end.

PS BE MY FRIEND OMG omgomg.

GOING TO DIE OK I'M TIRED!

2006-08-03T22:48:00.000-07:00

tonight i am having an early night, and it is already 10:30 so i will make this quick. yesterday was my most tired day ever and my eyes couldnt open hardly in the morning. but i drank a lot of tea and brought a lot of coffee to work and even a couple cafeine pills as a backup method. just in case. unfortunately one fell down my throat at around lunchtime and my body went crazy and hyper even though i was mentally dead. i made weird sounds like nenennannene really fast and then went home and tried to nap but i couldnt. Leck came over at 11 and we watched a movie till my eyes could hardly open again. ps the movie was Proof of Life with Meg Ryan and Russle Crowe and it is awsome and i have watched it countless times.

My new goal is to become a morning person, wake up earlier every morning so im not rolling out of bed to work. it makes me feel like i have more of a day... i tried it this morning and it was sweet. i actually had time to sit on the couch and drink tea. also today at work my soccer coach from when i was a lot younger came in and i hadn't seen him in years. he was thie biggest dick in the world and we all hated him and we made fun of his daughter ( i think he hated us too). when he saw me he did this thing with his eyebrows and made them go really high like he wanted me to know who he was even though i saw his retarded ass half an hour ago. why is it that assholes always end up coaching kids sports? always?

i just wrote that in probably 1 minute and i feel like i just drank lots of coffee even though i just went to starbucks and had herbal tea. i almost fell asleep into it. that's my cue to go to bed. k.

ps just published this post onto my old blog. obviosly my brain has started eroding

Matthew Good

2006-08-01T16:41:00.000-07:00

The MG solo acoustic show was so crazy. deffinitely worth the wait. that's for sure. Leck Peter and I rolled up to Nanaimo, ate some Macdonalds and went to the show. we had awsome seats, level with the stage. The show itself was so amazing. We waited around after the show and ended up getting to meet Matt, I got a speeding ticket signed because I didn't have much else. ( I forgot about my ticket... that probably would have worked...)

Set List:
Avalanche, new song, Tripoli, Generation X Wing, World Called Catastrophe, Hopeless, Fated, She's in it for the Money, Sort of a Protest Song, If I Was a Tidal Wave, Strange Days, So Long Mrs Smith, Load Me Up, Apparitions. Encore: Hurt, Prime Time Deliverance, Alert Status Red, Indestructable, It's Been a While Since I Was Your Man.

anyways... the weekend was a pretty good one, the show just topped it off... went to the kegger leck was talking about... went to van, rented mario kart double dash again! ate too much macdonalds, bought our canada flags for our backpacks... YESS

fucking give her some smoochies too

2006-07-29T16:14:00.000-07:00

im home and the ferry didn't sink so that was sweet. i heard that ferry can't even sink because the ocean isn't deep enough there.... anyways

5 of us crammed into a 3 seater truck and went back to my friend robyn's boyfriends house. they went to get alchy and me and cael and jodz stayed back and played xbox. well just i did and i sucked.

drank some sickass wisers then beer and was feelin pretty good. me and caleigh were glad we didn't drink tons cause later everyone decided to go to Splashdown waterslides. It was 2 in the morning so it was freakin scary. i guess someone worked there so he let everyone in and turned on the slides/hottub. me and caleigh didn't know anyone so we sorta just chilled and went down the black hole and i almost cried because it was so scary. i felt like we were dying cause we just hung on to these tubes/eachother and just drop down into this blackness and u can't see where the hell you're going because its so late and dark and yea it was too scary. i wish we could do shit like that over here...

i dont get how tons of kids can go to the waterslides in the middle of the night, super loud, no cops come, and in the morning there's emptys and tubes everywhere.... arent the waterslide people like umm maybe we should do something about this its probably dangerous? some guy fell and hit his face and his front teeth chipped in half and some other chick rolled down a bunch of stairs.

get back to Matts at 3ish then go to bad at 3:30... get up at 6 to cath the 7 am ferry. uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhgggggggg. so tired and the ferry ride was the worst because i was still so wet and i was just wearing pjs and a tank top because i left my sweater there and my underwear and bra were wet..... so i sat there/lay on the ground shivering uncontrollably for an hour and a half. worst thing ever. we got a lot of weird looks. a lot

went straight to bed then leck joined me there then we made grilled cheeese and drank milk. then went to starbucks. now im bored and trying to think of what to do because he went to a kegger. im thinking about having a nap since i havent really slept too much... sorry about boring post and stuff i just feel like dead

oh..... hi

2006-07-28T16:16:00.000-07:00

im really tired and want to have a nap but i have to catch the 6 ferry to vancouver. maybe i could sleep on the ferry... hmmm

anyways, im going over to see a friend and have a bbq and some drinks and all that fun stuff. hopefully i can get a ride back to the ferries in the morning or i will be stuck over there for foreverrrr!!! nooooooooooo

k... what the hell is up with America's Got Talent..... .....
SO GAY BECAUSE THE JUDGES ARE RETARDED

first of all.... there's so many sweet acts and the judges get to pick one and then US votes for another one to move on to the finals... i watched it yesterday/maybe the day before and the judges picked this grandma who rapped..... UM WHAT? sorry that is not a talent... people who juggle balls on fire or dance on stilts or do a billion flips then dunk a basketball... that's talent you homos. GOD!!!!!!

UHG K i need a shower

ps leck's worried because im going to be far away and he is the cutest and i will be safe baby!!!!

we'll collect the moments one by one

I scored some new sunglasses which is sweet and good timing because mine just broke. Meghan found them in her car and didn't know who's they were so she gave them to me. YESS!!! but then she said they didn't suit me... but they were FREEEEEEEEEEEE

ch check it

also i got cheap apple crumble at white spot because of my spot connections. alssssoooo went to a kegger for a bit, maybe i should say, was dragged to one, at like 7 last night. god what an awkward time. i peaced asap and got some dessert.

PS>>> me and lecks Eurail passes came in the mail today. EXCITING. plus maps and booklet things and other fun stuff. changed the flights aswell to fly out on the 11th instead of the 4th. kind of a bummer because the flight itself was 120$ cheaper than our first and we had to pay an extra 100$ to change it... hummmmmmmhmhm... ..

speaking of mail.. something for leck came in the mail to.

it was a hot one again today, and i got kind of burnt at work, then went to the beach with my parents and floated on tubes. v relaxing.

i'm going to go buy some food for my lunch tomorrow and then make dinner for leck who's working till 11 and probably wont be hungry but he better eat it...........................

Tofino

2006-07-25T16:30:00.000-07:00

One of the reasons I love leck is because of his random ideas, such as leaving for Tofino at 9:30 at night. Obviosly i wasn't going to say no so we quickly jumped in the lake then started the 4.5 hour drive up island. There's something really relaxing about driving at night. (well i was just sitting there, Leck did all the work.) Stopped at Tim Hortons to get some sandwiches and coffee, and ended up scoring an extra one because the server girl was a moron. The coffee made us sick for some reason but it was good

As we got into Tofino we picked up a hitchiker coming home from the beach (2:30am). He lay in the back of the van and told us we could park in his driveway for the night.

"this would be a perfect rape van! there's no door handles on the inside!"
"...yea, it's not bad."

woke up, drove into the town, got some breakfast then went to Long Beach where we set up our folding chairs, towels and frisbee.

Leck played frisbee by himself because the wind just took it right back to him, so i wasn't needed.

Bought lots of food at the store, went back to the beach, first person to stop running into the water was a fag, and that was leck (obviosly...) the wind was too strong and we were tired of sand blowing in our eyes so we started the long drive home.

Stopped at Sproat Lake to jump in because it was so hot, but the water was warm so it wasn't that refreshing. really nice though.

heat wave attack! sidney is deffinitely not used to this heat and it's making everyone irritible and tired and lazy. well at least me... just came back from the beach, the water was amazing. i felt kind of weird swimming by myself but it had to be done.

It was Leck's b-day yesterday and we had a sweet day. Fun times but im pooched because it was a late night and this heat is too much for me to handle.

We bought our Eurail passes yesterday, so i now have 10$ in my bank account. i'm sure that will go far trying to survive on another continent.

too hot to keep typing so i'm going to go pass out on some grass. bye

My mom bought a new car. a Hyundai Tuscan. we're the family that never gets a new car so i am stoked. mostly stoked because i can actually drive standard now, instead of on the rabbit where it was pretty much impossible. when i was younger i always wanted a car with the "new car smell" it was my favorite smell and whenever my dad got a rental car for work i would sit in it forever just playing with buttons and smelling the clean leather smell. I wanted to buy the "new car smell" spray to spray in my room but i guess that was going a little far...

My mom and i went to costco after work today and bought food in bulk and also a new digi cam for myself becuase my old new one broke. well i threw it in a drunken stupor. my dad and brother met us there so we had some family bonding and ate costco pizza and hot dogs. my brother bought a motorcycle today and he's 16. my mom is having a heart attack about it and i think i would too.

last night i had a games night at my house. cool i know. anyways we were playing scatergories and the letter was N. the subject was, "words associated with money" and i wrote "None". pretty appropriate i think. especially right now. it seems the only thing in my life that ever really stresses me out or causes problems has something to do with money, or lack of. Me and Leck are still trying to get money for Europe but it's hard, not gettin enough hours at work and so many obstacles that seem to be getting in the way. we'll see what happens.

Mystic Beach

2006-07-17T14:42:00.000-07:00

i reallly want to nap but i smell like smoke and want to shower first. too bad my brother decided to keep the bathroom hostage for a while. Also a beer got punctured in my backpack so it sprayed everywhere and now everything smells like beer.

so yea... Leck and I went camping at Mystic beach this weekend. we left on saturday, a lot later than we should have (my fault) and drove up past Sooke. We packed up our backpacks we got for Europe with so much stuff it was pretty insane. too much stuff.. The hike there was about 45 minutes, including a break to pick up a flat of beer that broke and rolled everywhere.

When we got there the sun had already started setting so we set up our tent then tried to look for firewood but there was pretty much none. the fire was a no-go so we had to throw out our chicken dinners :( oh well.

when we woke up, we saw that the couple with the prime spot was leaving so as soon as they left we ran our shit over there and stole the sweetest spot. Too bad a beached seal/sea lion thing was rotting on our beach and rolling around in the waves.

We brought excessive amounts of food so a lot of sunday was spent making and eating food.

oh btw the Feist show was awsome and she is amazing.

"do birds have boy and girl?" "...gender?"

2006-07-14T17:20:00.000-07:00

i have a ticket to see Feist tonight and i'm stoked.... i'm going by myself however because i have no friends and everyone hates me..... and also they are lazy and didn't buy tickets. Peter is going but i don't want to sit in on his little date ;) just kidding peter.

Tomrorow leck and i are going to Mystic beach and trying out our new backpacks, hiking for 3 hours. should be good times, hopefully we don't run out of food.

also my paycheck today was more than the paycheck i worked for 11 days straight.... i think i got screwed over. fuck

ok bye

Daaad, gimme a sthip of your Vexxth

my throat is dead and my voice is only working on occasion.

work was shitty because i couldn't make sounds, so customers thought i was really rude and stuff.

This guy came in who sounded exactly like Borat and it was so funny and i was getting excited... then he came over and started telling me this story about a Jew and i'm like it IS Borat!! it was awsome.

anyways, the plan for the night is to pretend i'm sicker than i am so i can feel sorry for myself.

I rented Sleepless in Seattle. I've never seen it that's the only reason! Gosh. The girl i work with made fun of me and when i picked her up from work i showed her the movie and she's like um, ok just look at the cover... she has a mullet and shoulder pads, i think that says enough. whatever i'm excited.

I bought 2 more packs of Halls, a Cosmo and Ranch Crispers. I'm pretty much all set.

oh yea, me and Leck bought backpacks for Europe.

ok and just go see An Inconvenient Truth. it was so intense and well done and it scared the shit out of me. now go see it!!!!!!!!

my life goes, underground

2006-07-09T23:06:00.000-07:00

im getting sick, and also getting Leck sick so its not good. my throat is killing and my cough isnt helping too much. it will just have to piss off. after work on friday i watched Dear Frankie in sweatpants and it was really good and sad and cute. then I went to say bye to Kayla at the ferry and everyone was crying even though she's just moving to vancouver and we'll probably see her in a couple of weeks. it was still sad just because it's the start of all my friends leaving to places further away.

Leck picked me up after work and we got some pizza then went to sleep, but slept in and wasted some of our day. we made a picnic, bought some gin then caught a bus to Butchart Gardens to see the Fireworks. It was sweet, got there at 5 and they started at 10, so we set up our blanket, then rolled over to the music stand to listen to some tunes. People watching is the best. we were watching samurai children.

Chilled in the Japanese gardens for a bit then listened to some more music then drank some more, then went back to our blanket, then mixed some more drink in front of angry grandmas. The fireworks were sooo crazy and i'm already stoked for next year haha

the gold ones have always been my favorite.

got a cab, slept, woke up, got some subway/coffee and rented MARIO KART DOUBLE DASH!! for GAME CUBE YEA! we borrowed a game cube and ripped it up for a few hours. i love how we're so nerdy, but it's ok because we're equally nerdy. so its all good. Leck was the one that won us new levels and stuff because i got too worked up to do any good. plus i injured my thumb. god.

also everyone is changing their blog templates. and by everyone, i mean Peter and Leck... maybe i should do something along those same lines...

anyways, time to get some sleep.

tiredddd

my head is splitting in half, it's been a while since a post but it's been busy. I now have three days off and im getting excited. i have a feeling this blog will become a little neglected over the summer, just because there's so much to do and not the most time to blog about it.

My friend had a goodbye bbq yesterday because she's moving to vancouver today. it was good times, i ate some hot dogs and got the shit scared out of me by this bear thing that moved and was pretty much alive. i hated it.

uuuuuuuuuuuum yea i really need to have a nap because my head hurts so i can't write anymore. i have lots to say but no energy to do it. oh well.

oh yea maria backed over a parking median thing and her gas tank leaked everywhere and had to buy a new one for 400. it was funny. /also shitty
