It's been forever since I've sat in front of a computer and actually written out something meaningful. I just got my laptop back and it's given me a longing. Well, two longings...
1) For a better laptop. Sadly, my Dell is on its last legs and over heats every ten or so minutes.
2) To write again. I just wish I had the ideas. I have them fleetingly but usually not when I'm around a computer, or a pen and a paper. I'm going to start slow but I will get back into it.
I mean, after all, you can't really call yourself a writer if you haven't written anything in a year.

I just super cleaned my kitchen and most of my livingroom. My current roomie has some boxes in here so it's not 100% but it's close enough. He's moving out this week so I'll take care of the rest once the boxes are gone, and it will be super clean for my new roomate moving in on Sunday!
I feel sooooo relaxed, it's strange how having a super clean apartment can do that! I love it.
Time for bed now :-)

So last week I booked a flight back to LA for June 28th. I am really excited.
I'm going solo but it should be fun anyways. Mmm laying on the beach.

12:41 am - Honesty. Sometimes it needs to be articulated, even if it's not to the right person.
|
If I were being honest, I'd say that I'm still incredibly angry & hurt.
If I were being honest, I'd say that I'm pissed off that everything is 'working out' for you.
If I were being honest, I'd say that I really DON'T want things to go back to how they were, because you don't have my trust, and you don't deserve my friendship.
If I were being honest, I'd be strong enough to cut all ties and walk away - which is, quite frankly, what I wish I could do.
If I were being honest, I'd tell you that the only reason I am even cordial to you right now is so that I don't have to live in a hostile home.
If I am being honest right now, which I most certainly am, you should know that nothing's going to be the same, and you're the ONLY person responsible for it.

2:14 pm - Project Cheap Toronto, Weekend Uno
|
So... as you may or may not know, my roomate and I are jetting off to LA on February 16th, for 8 glorious days of basking in the sun, stalking celebrities (ha), and playing guitar hero with my LA pal Chris. Right, so we've embarked on a little experiment so that we can afford to do things other than sit in the hotel in LA.
Our mission: don't spend money, but still do fun things. All documented in this blog.
So this is the first full weekend of good times. Here goes nothing.
Friday - I got home from work early, made dinner and cleaned. Shannon was at work. She came home about 11 and we watched TV. Soooo cheap. But not very exciting. I understand.
Saturday - Instead of walking to Second Cup, I made myself a pot of coffee. I made a fruit smoothie and a homemade egg mcmuffin (a good portion of the money I spend is on food, believe it or not - that's cutback #1 priority!). When Shan was off work, I met her downtown, and we went and saw Juno courtesy of my SCENE points. We did buy a $12 popcorn/pop combo to share... but hey, $6 each for a movie & snack is not bad. Not to mention that Juno is the BEST movie EVER! Seriously.
Oh, and I traded in my 'Moneyback VISA' - which gave me a 'cash reward' of about four cents a year - to a 'SCENE VISA' so I can continue to earn free movies. After booking our flights to LA, I already have enough points for three flicks. Good times. Hotel & car should bring that number up to at least five. I've already gotten four free movies out of this whole SCENE experiment, so I've saved about $40 already.
Sunday - Today Shan & I woke up and made brunch. It was delicious - we used the Magic Bullet she got for Christmas, which is probably my favourite thing ever. Now we're getting ready to head downtown to go searching for bathing suits for our trip. That's the only thing we're allowed to buy. And then we're going to Pier 1 because I got $100 in gift cards for there for Christmas, so we'll see if we can get any nice 'free' stuff for our apartment!
I realise our lives sound really lame, but I quite enjoy it. We've had a good weekend. My goal for this week is to pack my lunch & breakfast (I eat both at work) for at least four of the five days, and to go to the gym at least three days at lunch. Ambitious, but let's give it a go.
Will keep you posted on updates!
Over & out.

Okay, I need to have a bit of a vent session.
As everyone who reads this is well aware, I'm turning 21 on Dec. 15th. I've been working at Universal Music since July in a career that I love, I've graduated college twice, I've accomplished a lot in my short twenty years on the planet.
However, I would like to articulate right now that all that I've accomplished, with the exception of some small things (I do pride myself on my compassion for others, and love helping when I am able), everything that I have done has been self-serving and because I wanted to achieve MY goals.
So WHY is it that a good portion of the people that I meet feel the need to continuously point out my age to me as though I've forgotten? Just because I may act older than 20 doesn't mean I am, and it doesn't mean that I've forgotten my age. I realise that these people mean it in a positive sense, but it becomes tiresome constantly hearing that I've accomplished a lot for my age. Believe me, I go out and do typical 20 year old things, too.
If you want to gawk at someone's age, please go watch the seven year old piano prodigy on Leno, or something. I'm tired of people my age being stereotyped as lazy. I've got a lot more to accomplish ahead of me, and while I'm proud of what I've done so far, I don't think it's a whole to fawn over. I've done some good stuff for myself, and I look forward to continuing the tradition in the future, while also doing more to help others.
Why does EVERYTHING have to boil down to age!? Honestly, I don't understand. There are sixteen year old's who've accomplished more than I, I'm sure.
THANKS.
/end rant.

Some lyrics just affect me, and I'm not entirely sure why. For some reason, this song is so poetic to me. I've had the demo for a long time but it was just recently released as a B-side single, and for me it was love at first listen. The arrangement is awesome, and the lyrics astound. (Side random note - 'reverie' (third line) has been one of my favourite words for as long as I can remember. I just think it sounds so gorgeous, and I love it's meaning). Check it out.
(Fork and Knife) by Brand New
We'll take it easy, tigers in the cage,
Pacing on our pads, and waiting,
For the time to come in reverie.
Our lazy bones ache for our dowry.
Can’t hold on to the thrill.
So I hope you find your will to follow through.
What we invented, I am now ending.
Hold on to who you love.
We are dry and blown like dust since we were young.
What we invented, I am now ending.
The closest thing we had to royalty,
A chance to break our parents’ pattern.
You chose to keep your teenage tragedy,
In lieu of their romantic pallet.
Play tender like a new born baby would.
Play tender til the night is over.
I’m leaving you to nurse your cherished wounds,
And care for it just like your lover, yeah.
Can’t hold on to the thrill.
So I hope you find your will to follow through.
What we invented, I am now ending.
Hold on to who you love.
We are dry and blown like dust since we were young.
What we invented, I am now ending.
Can’t hold on to the thrill.
So I hope you find your will to follow through.
What we invented, I am now ending.
Hold on to who you love.
We are dry and blown like dust since we were young.
The morning's over, the day is in full swing.
I know you're busy,
But please won't you come visit me?
You are an aimless ghost;
You haunt your bag of bones.
The wolf messed with your vision.
He is sitting in your kitchen,
While you sleep tonight.
He will eat you young,
And you will act surprised.
Can’t hold on to the thrill.
So I hope you find your will to follow through.
What we invented, I am now ending.
Hold on to who you love.
We are dry and blown like dust since we were young.
What we invented, I am now ending.
Can’t hold on to the thrill.
So I hope you find your will to follow through.
What we invented, I am now ending.
Hold on to who you love.
We are dry and blown like dust since we were young.
The morning's over, the day is in full swing.

So I had a really good night, and therefor feel the need to post about it.
I realise that I only ever post when things are super good or super shitty, but whatever, I guess that's what blogs are about.
I went out for dinner with my 'Southern Ontario' family - the Goldbys (who I lived with last summer). They are so great, and I haven't seen them in so long. We went to this super delicious Indian restaurant (my fave food), and then to Starbucks for dessert & coffee. It was sooo good to see them. Roberta made me a batch of chili and gave it to me to put in the freezer, and Howard got some Indian Dal & Nan to go for me. They are honestly the most amazing family, I love that I know them. They care about me so much it's crazy, and I owe a lot to them - pretty much having this job that I have. They let me move in with them without even knowing me, and treat me like their family from the very start.
It's funny because Roberta said she missed having me in the house so much that they got a Spanish exchange student girl for a month, but that it wasn't nearly the same and that she was kind of lame hahaha.
Anyways, so after they dropped me off this guy came & picked me up and we went and saw American Gangster. He asked me out a long time ago but lives North of Toronto so this was finally when we had a chance to go out. We had a drink before the movie, then walked around after. It was fun, I had a really good time & we are going out next weekend. The only problem was that every once in while someone else popped into my head, which makes me mad. Why am I so into this other guy (who may or may not be reading this - eek)? Oh well, such is life I suppose.
The end.

So I haven't written anything in a long time. I guess working is taking away from my LJ posts hahaha.
I love my job... it's amazing, I'm having so much fun & finally feel 99% happy. I can't say 100% because there's always SOMETHING, but overall I'm content.
After eating crap and not working out all summer, I'm getting back into shape. I'm going to California on vacation in February and I'm bound n determined to have a hot beach bod.
All in all life is good, and I'm happy. Just missing some people is all!

I'm starting to realise that even the people you think you can count on most, sometimes, well they just let you down.
I want this to change - but I think I'm too much of a giver. And it hurts always being screwed over.
Unrelated, I'm presently going to California by myself in November. I wish things would just work out for once.
