concise update

Tags: 2010, :), <3

Camping was great.
Jason is still awesome as ever.
My grad instructors were right, this program lowers your tolerance for bullshit.
Super busy and not a moment of free time, but happy :)

I want your love, but you're not taking offers.

Work is stressful lately. Usually I'm pretty sheltered from all of the drama, being posted at the War museum now, instead of Civilization (where all the shit hits the fan), but my boss went on vacation for two weeks and I had to replace her so now I'm basically involved, against my will, in a bunch of crap. I feel really betrayed by one of my friends, who I pulled strings for to get him a job here, only to find that he doesn't respect me or take the job seriously. Ugh. I'm just glad my boss is back so I can go back to my quiet little world in the War museum.

In other news, fall is coming! I'm excited. Fall is a great time for fashion and I especially love it since it doesn't involve tank tops, bikinis, short shorts and other things that I can't pull off. Bring on the hoodies, jeans, cardigans, layering pieces, not to mention the fashion boots. Yay for fashion boots!!!

Minus all the work stress, I feel pretty comfortable with everything else in my life. I feel a lot closer to my friends than I've ever felt before, especially since my work friends either became assholes or are just too tiring to maintain what with all their drama. I'm still not the best at managing my finances but my bank's online banking website just introduced this new budgeting tool that I've been using and it's been really helpful. It took almost a year, but my apartment is finally starting to feel like MY home. I'm really glad that I'm staying here another year, as oppose to all my other apartments that I only stayed at for a year.

Bring Me The Horizon

This song shall end any nay-saying about this band. They've brought an incredible single to the table and a legit album. October 5th. I can't wait to catch them on tour.

You reached in your pocket and pulled out a pass that said you can take me anywhere

Went to the Bears/Chargers pre season game with Jay last weekend.
It was sooooo much fun! And the chargers won, yay! Unfortunately I was wearing a bears jersey because that's his favorite team, but it was all good.

He's gone right now and I miss him =(
I wish I could have gone with him but there was no way I could miss work now that I have two jobs and school starting. Oh well, he'll be back in a couple of days.

I'm a little worried that I'm going to be so consumed with school and work that I'll never be able to see him. The past 8 months we've pretty much spent every day together and we stay together at least 5 nights a week. We're both going to be so busy I just hope everything stays as perfect as it has been. I guess I wouldn't be so anxious about it but I feel like part of the reason my marriage ended was because I had too much on my plate and my relationship suffered because of it. I just need to remind myself that Jason isn't Willie (which is part of the reason I love him so much) and we both want this to work and although it's been mostly all fun and games this far we have both been in long relationships and understand it might take work. Who knows, maybe I'm just stressing and everything will be the same =)

We do have lots of fun stuff coming up that I'm super excited about:
Camping for Labor Day
Rufio!
Circa Survive!
Motion City Soundtrack and Saves the Day!
Thanksgiving in SC with my dad
Plus our Northern European Extravaganza coming 2011!!

Oh, and and I are going to see Juliana Theory's Emotion is Dead reunion show!!!! I'm so stoked I can't waiiiiiiit!

yikes

GRAD SCHOOL STARTS MONDAY... AHHHH!!!
I'M SO NERVOUS AND EXCITED!
Maybe getting a second job last week was a bad idea.
Each class syllabus looks equally intimidating =/

Taking a bit of a break from melo

I realize that I have probably stretched myself a bit too thin with both the various social networking sites and online journalling sites that I'm on. And I think right now, something's got to give. If even for a little while, I just know that I need a break from some of these sites.

One of the sites that I need a break from is melo. This is simply because I can't devote the amount of both attention and time that I would like to this particular site. And as a result, I feel like I'm letting down my melo friends on here by not keeping up with their posts.

As mentioned above, I'm elsewhere online. This is in both in a social networking and online journalling capacity. So I will leave you the URLs of these sites, should you want to connect with me there.

Here are the URLs:

I won't post my e-mail addy in this particular post as I don't want a bunch of either spam or crazy e-mails sent to me by people that I don't know. So instead, I will tell you that if you connect with me on any of the above sites, then please free to message me (should the site have a message feature on it). And if so, then if you would like my e-mail addy, I will then pass it along to you.

So say goodbye to love, and hold your head up high.

Hey lovers.
As predicted, my computer crapped out after about half an hour. In a shitty twist of fate, it died just as I finished downloading all of my new music & was about to sync my iPod. Cocktease and a half.
Anyways, I'm writing from my work computer which is risky but whatevs. I've already finished my day's work and it's 1PM so I'm just gonna go ahead and give myself a lunch break. Free time = I can do whatever I want. Ok, so now that that's all straightened out, you want to know what's new, right? (The correct answer is YES.)
Oh, you know, not much. Same old same old. I started feeling fat again so I put new batteries in my Wii Fit board and got to work. I only gained 2.5 pounds since I last worked out (about 6 months ago) which isn't the end of the world but it feels like more. I'm hoping to lose and keep off at least 5 pounds by the end of the year. I'm keeping my goals simple so I don't get discouraged. Honestly, it doesn't take much work for me to lose weight. Half an hour of cardio a day is usually enough for me to lose consistently while still eating more or less whatever I want (in moderation). But what I have in metabolism, I lack in dedication. I get lazy. Oh well. Earlier this year, I focused enough to lose 10 pounds so hopefully I can keep my shit together enough to pull that off and lose another 10.
In other news, the HNM randomly came to my work the other day. Not to see me... obviously... we haven't talked in months, since I switched buildings and even then, polite-smoke-break-conversations hardly count... but I digress - So he was here. He walked by me in all his godly hotness. I don't know how I got any work done at the other building, what with him constantly being dangled in front of me like a piece of meat. It's a wonder my paperwork didn't get covered in drool. Sigh. And that's all there is to say about that. We didn't talk, he probably didn't even notice me. Alright, I think that's enough pathetic for one day.

So wait up!!

Dear Melo BFFs,
For some fucking crazy reason, my computer decided to resurrect itself today. Hurray!! I'm not crossing my fingers that it will stay functional though, so I figured I'd leave you guys a note while I have the chance. Also I'm trying to get 2 months worth of downloading in so that I can have some new music on my iPod before the comuter craps out again.
Hope you are all having a great summer. Here are some songs you should listen to:

Metric - Black Sheep
Tokyo Police Club - Wait Up!
Broken Bells - The High Road
Broken Social Scene - Forced to Love

CH-ch-check ittt!

NO HATE

Prop 8 Ruled Unconstitutional!

A Legendary Day in California History.

I'm proud, but also I'm Canadian.. but now all of you melo kids get to have the same freedoms as me :)

Congrats

xo
