Hey Tummy, What's Up(Chuck)?

Today was awesome. I worked all day (duh), and it was super warm and sunny at first. Halfway through the day, it started storming! I love it when its warm out, but rainy! When I got home, I started to feel sick. I had a bit of acid reflux during the day and now I feel full on sick. I threw up once and feel a bit better, and now I'm about to try and sleep it off. I absolutely HATE throwing up. This sucks so bad :( Hopefully tomorrow I feel better. On a different (and better) note, YAY for next week! Friends coming to town, then going on vacation to visit the bff and go to bamboozle. Woo! Oh, and my boss said he'd buy me a computer. STOKED!

Tweedle Dee and Twee(T)le DUMB!

So I got peer pressured into joining twitter since its the new thing everyone is on. I'm so ashamed. I'm even more ashamed that I like it after all the shit talking I did about it! Haha! Eating my words I guess. Follow me if you want. Www.twitter.com/laurachristine_

Life Is One Big Party

I had the most amazing 13 hour shift at work today. I opened the shop today so I got up early and walked to work again since it was soooo nice and warm out. It was so busy today and time flew by. I got asked to stay late as usual. Stoked for more hours! I seriously love my job. Today I got paid to take a nice hour walk to the liquor store, play with puppies, and dance around to Justin Timberlake haha! Yes I actually DO work hard between all that stuff. But I'm having so much fun while doing it, it doesn't feel much like work! Anyways, I walked home and now I'm about to go to bed since I was asked to work tomorrow (originally my day off). Gotta get up early! Night night

Lifes A

Its A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood!

Today I had the day off and it was beautiful and sunny and WARM! I actually got away with wearing a tank top and a thin cardigan. So stoked! Tomorrow is supposed to be even nicer! Soooo I woke up early, went and got a bagel with cream cheese (my fave!) for breakfast, hung around at home for a bit, napped, and then finally started my day around 11am. Holly and I walked down to Queen St to get me a haircut. I got my cut, and I kinda like it. Just kinda. I'm SUPER picky about my hair and I almost never like fresh cuts, so I just need a couple weeks for it to grow a little bit. After the haircut, we walked back home, stopping in shops along the way. I got lunch and then took another nap. I didn't want to sleep longer, so I decided to walk down to honest eds and look around. I bought a sweet Chuck Norris calendar for 50 cents! So badass! I came home, had dinner, chatted online a little, worked on my puzzle, drank some tea, then tried to go to bed. We all know by now that I have a terrible time going to sleep, so I put on a movie and excersised while watching instead. I tried to sleep again but Holly came home drunk and I talked to her for a bit :) She's so funny, I love it! My nose started bleeding out of nowhere. So gross. I think its cause the air is really dry in here :( I'm gonna have to get a humidifier. Anyways, that leaves us at now. I'm back in bed and about to take another shot at sleeping since I work tomorrow. So goodnight all! Sleep well!

If I'm Going Down, I'm Taking You Down With Me!

Ever notice how someone elses mood can greatly affect yours? Especially people you're around a lot of the time? Ya I noticed too. You know what they say, "misery loves company". Last week I had someone suck me down into their pit of depression, stress and anxiety with them. I didn't realize it was happening at the time. But then the BFF said something to me that made it click. So thank you Zachary! You're the best :) since then, I've gone back to my usual happy self and have had the best week (so far)!! Its hard being happy and positive when constantly surrounded by others and their problems. I guess all I can do is try and help them all see the bright side! Its a beautiful morning, and I have the day off! I'm gonna make sure its a productive one! In the words of one of my favorite ladies Lisa Stevens "Make it a great day!".

Buzz Buzz Buzz Goes The Busy Bee!

This isn't the most exciting update. Same ol, same ol! I practically live at work. I love it though! The weather is getting warmer and its sunny almost every day now! I went shopping the other day and got some really cute stuff for spring/summer. I've been working out and getting in shape. I think I'm going to buy a bike next month! I have friends coming to town next week that I haven't seen in forever, so I'm stoked! I leave in two weeks for philly/bamboozle. I can't wait to see my bff!! I miss him so much! Other than that, nothing is new really. Its so weird having a routine life now. It rules though. I haven't been this happy in a while :) My only complaint is I wish I got more sleep haha!

Busy Bee

I've been working more than ever before, and its starting to effect my relationships with people. I don't have much time or energy to keep in touch, and I feel terrible. I'm going to try better to say hello and keep friends updated, and make sure I know what's going on in the lives of those I care about. 22 more days till I fly to Philly to visit Zack! I can't wait to get out of town and have a bit of a break. Time to get ready for work, I actually got up an hour earlier than needed today so I could respond to some emails. I'm already trying harder, see? Have a good day all!

OMG! I'm PMSing!.....NOT!

Short rant. It pisses me off that with groups of males weather it be friends, at work, in life, etc, if a girl complains about something/gets upset about something, its assumed and gossiped about that she MUST be PMSing or on her period. Sometimes we ARE emotional due to that time of the month, but MOST of the time we have a legit complaint. Fuck the stereotype!

Sunny Day, Sick Day

Today it was beautiful outside. Sunny and warm with a cool breeze. I had the best day at work till about two hours before I was supposed to be off. All of the sudden I felt shakey and dizzy, like I was going to pass out. I went home early and napped for an hour. I'm feeling a bit better and should be fine tomorrow. Tonight I'm gonna dye my hair, work on my puzzle, and talk to my bff. Nighty night

Working Hard, Hardly Blogging

My days have become routine so I haven't been updating. Sorry. I'm working 10-13 hours a day everyday and barely have time. I get home from work and crash instantly! I just booked my flight to Philadelphia to visit some friends and then head to Bamboozle in Jersey. I'm so stoked! I can't wait to get away. I'll also be visiting Montreal! Till then, I'll just be working my butt off and saving money. I've been neglecting friends lately and I feel terrible about it, but work is so busy and I can't be at my phone all the time anymore. Oh well. Hopefully they know I love them and things will settle down soon! Anyways, I need to pay rent and run errands. Later.

Life

Its amazing and complicated at the same time

Spring Cleaning

Today I had a day off. Thank goodness! Yesterday was a super stressful day at work. I was doing inventory, receiving stock, and organizing for 9 hours straight. I had to do all this while the store was open, so it was a giant pain in the ass. Anyways, today I slept in. Or tried to at least. I didn't sleep well last night. I kept waking up every few hours. I finally got up out of bed around 11:30am only go eat breakfast, go to the couch and fall asleep again haha! I napped most of the day between chats with Zack. I got up around 5pm and finally started cleaning. I vaccumed, cleaned the bathroom, did the dishes, etc. Now I'm washing all my bedding for when my guests get here tomorrow. I'm feeling really run down today. I hope I'm not getting sick! I worked on my puzzle for a bit, and now I'm gonna take a bath and read while I wait for my laundry to dry. Till next time...

BFF>BF

All I can say is THANK GOODNESS FOR BEST FRIENDS! If it wasn't for my bff Zack, I would still be a terrible mess right now. He's been my rock. He is always there to listen and share. He talks to me about everything, and I don't hold back from him either. He loves me just as much when I'm being a huge baby and being needy while going through my anxiety/depression moments. He is always there. I love him dearly, and am so thankful to have him in my life.

Sometimes Life Is Hard

Tonight, out of the blue, I got really sad about Ty. I'm laying in bed and chatting online with a couple friends, then out of nowhere I start crying. I'm sad that he changed so much. I'm sad I had to let him go. I'm sad we aren't going to be together forever. I really thought it was going to be forever :( He hasn't even tried to talk to me.

Scouts Honor!

I've tried to do my photo blog twice in the last 24 hours. Last night I tried on my roommates computer that's spazzing out and the screen keeps going blank. Then today after work, I used the work computer and the uploading system kept freezing and wouldn't let me upload the pics. I swear! I'll try again as soon as I get to a different computer. Dumb shit.

4 Months

As of now, I have been in Toronto (this time around) longer than I've been anywhere in the last 5 years. Crazy. I'm dying for a vacation, but don't feel the usual need to move. Well done.

Cold and Bitter

So this morning I'm sitting alone at my kitchen table after my roommates have left for work. I'm looking around, having my tea, and just thinking about how lucky I am to have found such a great apartment with such great roommates. Outside of this apartment and those two great roommates, I'm finding that I'm not feeling thankful, or even positivly about much of anything these days. Especially people. Due to recent events in my life, I am noticing myself becoming more and more reclusive and hateful/bitter towards everyone and everything. The people at my work are lovely (for the most part), but I'm finding myself getting easily annoyed by them and being short/rude towards them. They tease me about how they "aren't allowed" to be friends with me outside of work. That's because I refuse to hang out with any of them. I'm invited out constantly, and always turn them down. Not just work friends, everyone. If I'm not at work, I'm home. Or running errands (preferably by myself). I find myself looking at people on the street/subway/in coffee shops and thinking the most horribly rude things. I am bitter, and I don't like it. I guess the only positive thing I could say at the moment is, at least I've noticed there is a problem? I've been outgrowing certain friends lately, becoming annoyed with them easily, hurting their feelings. Its not my intention to hurt feelings, so I need to make a change. My goal for this week is to get out and interact more with people. I've become such a loner that I'm now almost completely socially awkward. There are a few key people that I feel I can be myself around, and sadly none of them live here. They're all in friggin America. Hopefully I get a grip on this bitterness before I turn into a completely hateful person. I need to not let the shitty things people have done/are doing/will do to me effect me to the point where it ruins my relationships with others.

Short Rant

I'm friends with a bunch of vintage stores that I love on myspace.....my question is, why the fuck do girls think its cute to pose so they look pigeon toed in every fucking photo!? Seriously! Standing with your toes together like you're a 5 year old girl looks weird, not cute. Be creative and get a new pose! That is all.

Frost Bites

I hate the cold. I've said it a million times before. I'm saying it again. FUCK THIS WEATHER! I spent the day running errands, and I'm suprised I still have my ears, face and hands. I could barely get my keys out, put the key in the lock, and turn it to get into my apartment after I was done. On the walk home, my face and hands were so cold and I was so miserable, that I actually felt like crying. Fuck this shit. Anyways, I went grocery shopping, looked around for a part time job, met up with Katrina for coffee and came home. I then visited with my roomies, made a snack, had some tea, took a bath, watched a movie, and now I'm snuggled in bed. Minus the weather, it was a great day. The end.

Honestly Addicted

Today was a rough start. I hadn't gotten much sleep cause there is a little mouse in my apartment haha! Its small and black and so cute, but unfortunately I don't want a mouse for a roommate. Neither do my roommates! We set traps and hopefully we catch it soon. I feel bad for the little guy though. Anyways, the mouse kept me up all night, so I was really tired when I got to work. I had almost decided to call in sick actually, cause I woke up with a tummy ache. I forced myself to go to work and just got some tea instead of my usual morning black coffee, hoping it would settle my stomach. I'd only been at work a short time when my boss came in and asked me to come downstairs into his office. Apparently one of the tattoo artists (who I consider(ed) a friend) had told him that I said one of the other artists was talking shit about another artist. WTF!? I told my boss it wasn't true and got really upset. He believed me cause he knew I'm not that kind of person to gossip like that. So I spent my whole day at work tired with a tummy ache, and pissed off that someone I thought was a friend, decided to make up some complete bullshit drama-starting lie. After work, I went to Honest Eds again for probably the millionth time in the last couple weeks haha! I got a bath mat, two kooshy queen sized pillows, a laundry hamper, garbage can, more hangers, two tshirts, sweat pants, razors, toothbrush, coat rack, and a long bbq lighter for my candles.....all for $40! I love Honest Eds! I'm gonna go back next weekend for a new dish rack, some more candles, 99cent dvds and a mirror! I came home with all my stuff, organized my room and took a 20 minute nap. My roommates still weren't home, so I cleaned the kitchen. When the roomies got home, we made tea and chatted for a while. They went to bed cause they work tomorrow. I have the next two days off, so I'm up watching a movie and talking to my bff via sidekick. I'm not really tired, but when this movie ends I'm gonna try and sleep. Gotta test out those new pillows! I'll let you know how it went tomorrow :)

Yum Yum In My Tum Tum

So today was basically the same as every other day. I started work at 10am as usual, and got to stay for my whole shift today (off at 6!). I then got an email from my roommate Holly as I was walking to the subway, asking if I wanted to go to Fresh for dinner. Fresh is this amazing vegetarian/vegan restaurant here in Toronto. I went home and hung out for a few minutes while Holly got ready. We walked to Fresh and were bummed that it was crazy busy and there was a massive line of people there. Lucky us, we were the only party of two, so I pushed my way to the front and they seated us immediately. Everyone else looked pissed haha! I had the most amazing meal. I ordered the Buddha bowl. It was brown rice, with fresh steamed veggies, bean sprouts, marinated tofu with a light peanut sauce. Its hands down one of the best meals I've ever had! Holly and I had a nice quick dinner, then walked home. Now I'm putting my jammies on and getting ready for bed. I'm pooped! That's all for tonight...

Eff This Weather

Its gone back to being freezing this last week. For a little bit there, it was sunny, I could go outside without a jacket, and there was no snow on the groud. I thought spring had arrived. Apparently mother nature is a complete asshole and likes to play mean tricks. This last week has been stressful/fun. Weird combo. Fun because I had friends come into town and the vibe at work and home has been great. Stressful because its so slow at work that they're still cutting hours and up till today, I didn't know how I was going to pay my rent. Needless to say, I sorted that shit out. I really need it to get warm so I can work full time hours again. This coming week will basically just be preparing for my pals from AZ to come crash with me for a few days. I need to get another air mattress, some pillows and blankets and stuff. Can't have my guests sleeping on a bare hardwood floor! I'm excited for them to get here! Should be fun :) My friend Riley is also coming to visit me soonish. He'll be here the first week of April! We're gonna go to the Science center! Hoorah for learning! I've been feeling run down and heavy lately, so I'm gonna do a cleanse this week I think. Lets see if I make it to the end haha! Its from all the friggin bagels I've been eating. I CAN'T STOP! The other night I bought six bagels, and had eaten three within an hour and a half.....then I waited for my roommates to go to bed (cause I was embarassed) and ate another one. Its terrible. I'm not buying bagels or cream cheese anymore! On a different note, ever notice how you'll see something around a lot in stores, something totally basic and simple, but you don't need it....then when you need it you can't find it? Ridiculous! Its the most impossible thing to find plain white v-neck tees right now. At least nice fitting ones. Unfortunately I'm not rich and can't afford to buy a fucking tshirt for $30-$40 at american apparel. Forever XXI used to have a million of them like two weeks ago, and now that I need one (I stained mine, grrrr), they don't have any. Same with leggings. I can't , for the life of me, find full length leggings anywhere in this town! They're all friggin capris or tights. I miss America. Shopping in Canada suuuuucks. That's enough rambling for today I suppose. What a random post. I guess that's what happens when I forget to update daily and I have a few days' worth of stuff to tell you all. Bed time. Work tomorrow. Goodnight.

Halfway There

So I got on a computer the other day, but it took the whole amount of time just to upload the pics from my camera and load them onto photobucket. Halfway there folks! By the end of the week I should have my photoblog up. Today was good. Just worked all day. Yesterday I spent the day with my roomie Holly, and we went shopping at Honest Ed's and I got a bunch of cool knick knacks for $17. Candles, inscents, piggy banks, hangers, etc. So fun! I ate an entire box of ritz bits and my tummy ached all night. Booooo!

Mish Mash Of Events

Ok. Short recap cause I've been lazy lately. My Tennessee trip was amazing! Sarah and I basically just hung out and watched movies, and I evesdropped on her vid chat convos with B ;) We drove a couple hours out of town on the wed to the lakehouse where my friend Matt is staying currently. My best friend Jason drove down from Indianapolis and met us there. We all went to Applebees and had a great meal! My poor babe Sarah got a tummy ache, but B cured it via video chat when we got back to the house. The boys jammed all night trying to write a song and I had fun trying to put my two cents in haha! Matt, jason and I had some good talks about a lot of stuff going on in my life right now, and it made a few things clear to me. I love those boys :) We stayed over and Sarah made eggs in the morning. We then drove home and napped for the rest of the day. The rest of the trip was just hanging out and being low key. We painted pottery one day (I did a cute mug!), and another day we modeled for Sarah's friend Colleen's clothing/hair accessory line. I was so sad when I had to leave. Sarah is probably my favorite female on the planet. She is one of the most kind and genuine people I know, and I'm so thankful to have her as my friend <3. So that's the trip. Since I've been home its been non-stop work. I broke up with my boyfriend. Originally I just wanted to take a break so I could focus on myself for a bit and get my life together. I've been thinking a lot about out future and I wasn't sure what I wanted anymore, even though I knew I loved him. Lets, just say he didn't take it well....so I decided to just end it. I had a good valentines day. I worked, it was sunny, and my friend Josh bought me flowers! I haven't had anyone buy me flowers in YEARS! It was nice to feel loved. Even by a friend :) I got an airmattress to use as a temporary bed, but there is a leak in it so I have to return it tomorrow. I think sometime this week I'm getting my feet tattooed. I'm so stoked! Sorry I haven't gotten to a computer to update photos yet. I'll try to do that this week. Till next time...

Um Yup

Sorry I've been working a lot and haven't been able to update. Full update soon

Insomniac Needed

A lot has happend recently. I need to share. I'm keeping most things to myself and only sharing with a couple people, but its 7am and those people aren't awake and I need an outlet! So frustrating. I wish my friends were as sleepless as me. So selfish of me.

Boring Title. I'm a Slacker

So it looks like I crapped out on updating halfway through my trip haha. My bad! I got the new battery for my camera in the mail as soon as I arrived home in Toronto tonight, so I'll upload picks and recap the rest of my trip when I get to a computer. Time for sleeps.

It's a Working Vacation

So yesterday morning I was driven back to Sarahs place. She woke up and we got ready for work. Yes I said work. Haha! Sarah had to work 10am-5pm at this adorable boutique here in Franklin, TN so I went with her to hang! We spent the whole day youtubing videos on her computer and singing along to Katy Perry haha! I usually don't eat till lunch, so I went for my first "meal" of the day at around 3pm. I got a little tub of hummus and a little bag of flour tortillas at this cute place across from Sarahs work. Halfway through the hummus and tortillas I start to feel sick. I couldn't even finish. I tried so hard to keep it down, but eventually had to go to the bathroom to throw it up. Ugh! I hate throwing up. I then continued to feel extremely ill and had to concentrate on my breathing to keep myself from puking again. So gross. Eventually I started to feel a little better, and then it was closing time for the store. Sarah and I locked up, then went to Kroger to get some groceries. We got valentines cookies and icing to make for Matt and Jason! We went home and just relaxed and hung out. At least I did. Sarah was too busy video chatting with her new man!! So cute and exciting :) I ended up baking the cookies myself so Sarah could keep chatting with B, then I went to sleep. I ended up waking up early this morning and icing the cookies. Sarah got up and filled me in on her chat with B and we are now about to get ready for the day. Today we're driving a couple hours to visit my friend Matt who's been holed up by himself in a cabin on a lake to write his bands new album. My best friend Jason is driving from Indianapolis to meet us there too! So excited! I can't wait for Sarah to meet two of my best friends, and I can't wait for them to meet her! I'm off to get ready! I'll update later on!!

Excuse Me While My Mind Is Blown...

Ok so today I got picked up by my friend Israel and we went to lunch with his roommate (another friend of mine) Dan. I had a delicious black bean veggie burger. We came back to Israel and Dans house and just hung out watching Family Guy. I then find out that my friend Alex, who I haven't seen in forever, lives with them too! I thought Alex still lived in Mississippi! I was stoked to see him when he got home! He was suprised to see me too haha! I took a nap and then when I woke up, my friend Jordan came over to hang out. I noticed Alex video chatting in his room, so I walked in to see who. It was my friends Sal and Robert in San Diego! Haha! I had no idea they even knew Alex! My mind was blown! They were shocked to see me too. Especially in Nashville. After that, Israel, Jordan and I went to Sonic and got slushies. Now we're back at the house watching Encino Man. I'm having so much fun!! I miss my Sarah though. Can't wait to get back to her place tomorrow :)

Sleepy Girls

I'm in Nashville now! Woooo!! Sarah picked me up and we came back to her place. I met her roommates (adorable twins) and she filled us in on her weekend in Florida with Hayley. I don't wanna jinx anything for her, but yay for new boys! I'm excited for my girl :) Anyways, we were both exhausted from not sleeping in the last two days, so we took a nap. A really long nap haha! We fell asleep around 3ish and woke up at 9pm. We're now just hanging out and watching a dvd. I think later we'll go to Walmart and get some food to put in our tummies. That is all for now :)

Old Friends In New Jersey

So I just landed in the Garden State and I have a couple of old tour friends coming to visit me for coffee during my two hour layover! Yay! I haven't seen Vinnie since Bamboozle last year, and I haven't seen Jes since December I think. I love when it works out to see tour friends :) Especially when they bring me coffee and bagels <3

Bus Stop Update

I'm currently standing at the corner of Bathurst St and Bloor St waiting for the bus that takes me to the airport. It was a long day today. I moved into my new apartment, shopped around for a few things for my room, and then went to work from 4pm-1am. Sorry I haven't had time to update with a photo blog of my new place. I'll do it as soon as I find time to upload pics. I'll be bored at the airport, so I'm sure I'll be updating more often just to pass the time haha. Man its early.

Sleepless In Toronto

I didn't update yesterday. Oops. I've been a busy bee trying to get ready for my move and my trip all at the same time. Looks like it'll be two more sleepless nights in a row for me. I move in about 5 hours, then I work till 1am, come home to make sure I packed everything, then hop on a bus to the airport to fly to nashville. I'm stoked, but its gonna be a long day. Currently I'm looking online for new furniture. So far everything is too expensive. Boooo!

Testing 1,2,3

Worst band ever.

Just testing to see if I can post picture blogs with my new sidekick lx. This one is for you Bagel. Doofus!

New Toys and Out of Towners SONNNN...

So today was an awesome day, even though I was bummed to look out the window when I woke up and see that it was snowing. I had the day off, so I slept in till about 1pm. I got ready, had some tea and headed out to the El Mocombo (a venue here in town) where my friends in Red Jumpsuit Apparatus were supposed to be playing. I got there around 4pm and there was no one around and the doors were shut, so I looked around on the net and found that the show was cancelled! NOOOO!!! I haven't seen those guys in ages and I'm bummed they didn't make it to town cause of the snow :( I got back on the subway and went to cash a check and look around the mall downtown for a bit while I waited for my friend Doug to text me that he had made it to the venue. His band was coming from Montreal where they played the night before, so they were late due to the weather. Eventually I heard from him and I went to meet him at the venue. The rest of the night was spent just hanging out and meeting the dudes from the other band. My friend Marc showed up as well to keep me company. At the end of the night, I bought Doug's sidekick LX from him and gave him my old one to use for now till he gets his new blackberry that comes out in a couple weeks. YAY for new toys!! I had a crappy sidekick ID before and it didn't have a camera or anything. So now I have a camera and I can take pics when I don't feel like lugging my new big fancy camera around. That's all that happened today. I'm now sitting in bed and about to go to sleep since I work in the morning. I hope everyone had a great day as well. GOOD NIGT.

So Fresh And So Clean

Today I just slept and hung out at home. I hate having this many days off in a row. At around 8:30pm I went over to my friend Trevors place and did laundry. We watched tv while I waited for my clothes to be done, and then I came home. Now I'm about to shower, have some tea and watch Gossip Girl. I'm so lame. Goodnight

Bestest of Friends

So my friends have come to my rescue and I am going to be able to move into the apartment. Yay friends!! Its been an emotional day/mostly night. Till tomorrow...

Figures

I'm not even going to update on my day because the only part that matters is that due to the previous situation at work on saturday, I received a tiny paycheck. The result? I can't afford to move into my new place. And hey guess what! NEXT paycheck is gonna be tiny too cause I got TWO shifts taken away as punishment, PLUS I have to start paying back the (now pointless) loan I got from my work to move into the apartment. The real kicker is how I'm basically screwing the two nice girls I was going to be living with, AND I'm out $600 that I put down for deposit and won't be getting back. Life rules. Excuse me while I go have a nervous fucking breakdown.

Short Story Short

I slept till 7pm. Went to money mart. Signed the lease on my new apartment. Bought a snack. Went home. I was so lazy today.

Bitch, Bitch, Bitch

So today (technically yesterday now) was mostly a good day up until the last hour and a half of my shift at work. I'm not gonna gossip about it, even though this is a public forum and I can say what I want. But long story short, someone did the same fuck up at work today that I did last week, and they got a fucking slap on the wrist. I don't even think the "punishment" for this other employee could even be considered a punishment. What I got was ten times worse, and I'm pissed about it. Basically that one thing managed to ruin my day. After work I was angry and tired, and felt like getting tattooed, so I got Remi to touch up the trinity on my hand. It looks so sick now! After that I just came home and basically fell asleep instantly around 9pm. I woke back up at 4am and now I'm bored cause I can't get back to sleep. Today sucked.

Why Tired?

So this morning I went to work after having actually slept. I was stoked! Turns out, I was a lot more tired at work today than I was the two days I went on no sleep. Weird. Other than feeling tired, I had a good day. I confirmed my move in date for my new place today. WOO HOO!! I seriously can't WAIT! I just need to find a cheap mattress and a few other things, since I don't own anything. After work, I went to get a veggie samosa. My old, and now again, favorite snack. Extra spicy! Any foods that are veggie and spicy, I love. Anyways, I'm dead tired from having actually gotten sleep (haha), so I'm off to bed. Goodnight.

Chick Magnet

Today was the second shift in a row that I've worked on absolutely no sleep. And I mean NO sleep. I woke up from an accidental nap at 7:30pm last night, and couldn't get back to sleep. This morning I went for coffee nice and early, then got ready for work. When I got to work, my manager gave me an envelope with my name on it. Inside was an email that had been sent to the tattoo shop address. It said the following.....
Subject line "Hook up?"
"This may be COMPLETELY lame, but when I came in to get my nipple pierced two days ago, one of your staff -female, with dark hair and stunning blue eyes, totally caught me off guard and left me stumbling on words a bit as I was trying to convince her to bring me coffee when I'm at work (I work at Noise down the street on Queen) And since I am so lame, and this email does end up getting to someone who isn't just sitting there laughing at me :) give her my number !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Insert number here)"
THANKS :)
Dani

Dani is a girl. HILARIOUS! I'm officially a chick magnet haha! I totally remember who she is, and she was sweet. I have to say I'm totaly flattered and that was a really good part of my day. So cute! Also, as I was walking to the subway to go home, I was super into texting and some guy walked by me and yelled "PRETTY" super loud in my face. It scared the crap out of me, and I'm pretty sure it was a bum. I didn't really see though cause he kept on walking. I'm on fire today. Lesbians and bums. I rule! Anyways, work was good, I went home and immediately fell asleep. And now here I am. Awake. Again. Booooo!! That's all for tonight.

False Alarm

So I found out the situation with my boyfriend. He is in an outpatient program instead of staying at the facility. He's doing well. I'm so glad :) And to those people who are giving me shit about getting back together with him, you can just keep your comments to yourselves. I'm a 26 year old ADULT who can take care of herself. I realize that you care about me, but I could really use support instead of getting a lecture. Tyson is doing all he can to get better, and he deserves a second chance. If you're going to be negative about it, then just stay out of my life. Thanks.

I See the Light

So the last couple days have been up and down as usual. Such is life. Yesterday at work was pretty good, minus the fact that I had some pretty bad anxiety due to the fact that there was a miscommunication as to how things happened the day they cancelled my shift. I won't get into it, but I feel better now that I've cleared things up and told my boss what really happened. I actually went to work yesterday on NO sleep. I had been awake since 10:30pm the night before! After work I had to run errandes, so by the time I got home I had been awake for 24 hours haha! Those errands were 1. picking up my sweet new camera, and 2. looking at an apartment. Picking up my camera took no time at all, so I went for coffee and looked over it and played around. It's awesome! I can't wait to start taking photos!! I just need to get an extra battery for it so I don't have to keep charging the one. After that, I went to view this room for rent in an apartment with two girls my age. I got there and immediately loved the place. The girls and I hit it off right away and I got an email that night saying they had chosen me, and would love for me to be their roommate! Now I just need to come up with the first and last months rent in the next two weeks. UGH! I hate money lol. First and last months rent always kills me. I live in a very expensive city and it's hard to save up a big chunk of money. I'll do my best! Today was a total write off since it was a day off. The "warm" pajamas I got didn't do shit. I'm still freezing my ass off while I "sleep". I can't wait to have my own room where I can actually get a full good nights sleep. My own room. WOW. It's been so long.

Life is a Rollercoaster

It's now just after 8am and I haven't slept yet. I've been up all night since my last post and have gone through multiple emotions. I guess that's what happens when I have a moment (several hours) to myself to sit and just think. I'm in a more positive headspace now. I've realized that the things that suck, are things that are out of my control. The important thing is, I'm trying to best to improve myself, and improve my life. That's all I can really do. Today I'm going to put all my stressful thoughts aside and enjoy my day. In a few moments I'm going to go get my morning coffee and then come back to get ready for work. After work today I'm picking up my new camera, then going to view an apartment. Lets hope this one is THE ONE, so I can finally have my own room and get some friggin sleep! Coffee is calling me. Talk later.

Had to Reach a Low Point Sometime...

So the last two hays have been pretty crappy. Yesterday I didn't work, so I slept in. At least, I tried to sleep in. Its so freezing, and I have such little blankets (hardly blankets) that I keep waking up every half hour or so shivering. Its just been getting colder and colder. I eventually got up and emailed a few people about appointments to view apartments. I got ready and made plans with my friend Palmer to go see a movie. He picked me up and we went to Honest Ed's so I could see about buying a cheap blanket. I couldn't afford a blanket, so I improvised and instead bought a $5 giant hoodie and a $3 pair of huge fleece sweatpants to keep me warm while I sleep. It was off to the movie theater from there, and we went to see Milk. This movie was amazing!! If you haven't seen it, please do! One of the best movies I've seen in a long time. After the movie, I get a text from the girl I'm staying with curently, and she says she's having one of her guy friends stay over. I'm annoyed at the lack of notice since its already midnight and I was planning on going straight home to sleep since I worked the next morning. I didn't want to complain though cause its her house, and she's nice enough to let me stay. So I just got Palmer to take me to his place in Burlington since it was too late to find a friend in the city to stay with for the night. Unfortunatly, I was woken up at closer to 10am, than the 9:30am that was discussed, and I needed time to shower so I didn't go into work looking like a slob. I called work and asked if it would be ok that I come in at noon instead of 11am. I didn't think this would be an issue because its been slow at the shop and they need to cut hours where they can. Unfortunately for me, the girl I was staying with ALSO called in and asked to come in late. I'm pretty sure work was ticked that we both called in to come late, so I then got a phone call telling me my shift was cancelled. FUCK. I really needed those hours, and it was a 10 hour shift I lost. All because I didn't want to lay awake all night listening to two people fucking, like I had to last time. I REALLY need my own apartment. I'm tired of being kept up, woken up, and stepped all over. I want to go to work, come home to quiet, go to bed early, repeat. I then got really depressed thinking about my living situation and how losing that shift was gona hurt come pay day, and mostly how I felt extremely guilty for having let my work down. I love my job, and everyone there. I always feel extremely anxious and beat myself up if I feel like I've dissapointed them in some way. Anyways, feeling depressed, I went back to sleep and just slept till 4pm. Palmer then woke me up and drove me home. Girl I'm staying with texted and said she was staying with her mom for the weekend, so I was at least grateful for the alone time. I went right back to sleep when I got home. It is now 10:50pm and I haven't eaten a single thing, not that I'm even hungry. I'm stressed. I got a text message from my boyfriend, making it clear he isn't in detox like he said he would be. I feel angry and humiliated. I got so much crap from a lot of people when I got back together with him after what happened over the holidays. I reassured them and defended him by saying things would be different. That he was getting the help he needed. Well don't I look like a fool. Another promise broken. I can't even get a hold of him to ask why. Again, my heart is broken and I feel let down. So this brings me to now. This very second. I'm going to go back to sleep, for that is all I can really do. I need to go back to work tomorrow and put on a happy face. It seems impossible now, but I know it'll be ok once I get there. I'm so thankful to have a job that I really love, with people I really love and care about. They always make me smile. Ok, well....goodnight.

The Perfect Day.....a day late

Sooo yesterday I basically had the perfect day. For once I woke up on time for my morning shift at work and didn't have to rush. It was refreshing being able to take my time getting ready in the morning. I even got to the subway station in enough time to get my morning coffee and bagel before work. I had a fantastic 10 hour shift at work that seemed to just fly by. I always have fun at work, but sometimes a 10 hour shift feels like a 10 hour shift haha! After work I went to H&M to use the gift card I got for christmas. I had been wanting this one pair of shoes from there for a couple months, and was so sad to see that they were nowhere to be found when I arrived. I asked a sales associate about them and she went to look in the back for me. Low and behold, there was ONE pair left hidden in the back and they just happened to be MY size! YAY! After I bought the shoes I went to the atm to see if I had at least $5 for dinner (I was pretty sure I didn't), only to find that I magically had $80!! SCORE! So I decided to treat myself to a new pair of cheap jeans that I LOOOVE. Happy with my new stuff, I went to Chipotle to get a delicious veggie burrito. I took it home and finished up my night eating in bed and watching a movie. Best day ever! Today was pretty sweet as well. I worked all day and now I'm going to go home and sleep. Tomorrow is my day off and I have a few errands to do, and an apartment to go look at. That's all for now. Peace.

Today is a Write Off

I felt like shit all day. All I did was sleep and chat online via sidekick. Extremely uneventful. I have a gnarly headache that won't go away. Tomorrow should be better cause I work.

Lazy Day

So today (technically yesterday since its now almost 6am on tuesday) was a good day. One of those slow lazy days. Tara, Marc and I slept in and just bummed around Taras apartment for a bit. We walked around town and went to grab some lunch. I had a delicious grilled veggie sandwich that was a little more greasy than they made it out to be on menu description. I like to eat healthy, but it was too good to be upset about it for long! Haha! We then went to print copies of Taras resume, and walked around with her while she applied for jobs. After that, we went to Betsey Johnson where I tried on a million cute party dresses!! There was this really cute green sequin one with black stripes and polkadots that I wanted, but they didn't have a small enough size :( I've recently become obsessed with party dresses, and want to have a giant closet full of them! I guess I need my own apartment first huh? Soon enough. So anyways, I was worn out from walking around all day, so I came home and popped on a dvd and fell asleep to it with a couple cute kitties snuggling with me. Eventually Tellie came home and we ordered pizza (eating healthy was already ruined for the day) and ate it in bed while finishing off season 5 of Nip/Tuck. All in all, it was a pretty fantastic lazy day. Life at the moment is good :)

Oops!

So it looks like I managed to neglect my blog for the last 7 months. OOPS!! It is now 2009!! So much has happened! I spent a good three months in Arizona with Tyson and just hanging out with his family. He was on tour a lot of the time, but it was nice to be there when he got home, and to say goodbye when he left again. I then went on the road with  him for a couple weeks and ended up in Toronto where i've been living for the last three months. Again, I flew to Arizona to be with Ty for my birthday (dec 23rd) , christmas and new years. Christmas eve was also our one year anniversary. It was the most emotional and rough visit we've had, but I'm hoping it turns out for the best. As of now, we're on a break. For the last three months I've been living in Toronto and working at a tattoo shop downtown. I LOOOOVE my job and everyone there. I couldn't ask for a better place of employment. Everyone I work with is like family to me, and it's my favorite place to be, even on my days off haha! In a couple weeks, I'm flying to Nashville to visit some friends for just over a week. A lot of my friends have moved there recently, so it'll be nice to visit them all at once! I'm also thinking of visiting friends in LA the first week of March....we'll see. So anyways, that's all that's been going on. Of course there are a million details I've left out cause it's just too much to type. I hope everyone had a great holiday season and a fantastic beginning to 2009. I had lost my password, so that's why i wasn't updating, but I've got it now so I'll try and update more. Peace.
