It hurts to be the healthy one.

I like tumblr, but I'm not sure I'm ready to give up on blogspot entirely. Having two blogs seems a little overwhelming. I'll have to figure out which blog to use for what purposes.
Perhaps at some point I'll also do some cleaning up on this blog and get rid of the things I am no longer interested in. Some good ol' spring cleaning needs to be done thats for sure, but that will have to wait until I finish physical spring cleaning. Technological cleans can wait.

I just made a tumblr.

Its just easier to follow my friends this way.
Maybe I'll start posting once I've figured out my new life.
For now, I'm still stuck in this warehouse.

Fact of the day: I hope we get that appartment.

To my dearest Kristina,

I was going to text you last night to grab a coffee before you left, for I did not know the exact date of your departure. I decided against the coffee thus refrained from texting you. Upon creeping your blog just moments ago, I have put it together that you left two days ago. If you happen upon this during your travels let it be known that I expect to hear from you the moment you return.
Have fun on your road trip adventures! <3

Skipping work for my best friend and a cupcake? Worth it.

It could have used a little more cream, but it was delicious.

I found some time.

So here are a few photos from one successful evening:

Hello?



Hello?!



Fuck it, lets break in.




Not scary in the least bit (I think Ryan took this picture).




I knew it.



Field wandering.



Haha.

Wonderful.

Fact of the day: I'm disappointed.




Is there something seriously wrong with me?

So Kristina and I went to Guelph last night in hopes of booking tattoos. Turned out they weren't all that busy when we got there, so we ended up getting them done.
As mine was on the collar bone, I figured it would probably be some what painful. Some of the tattoo ended up being placed just below the bone and some of it on the bone. As he was finishing up, I wasn't really feeling much of anything so I commented "So this is going to be the painful part then, right?" Thinking he was about to do the part on the bone. His response being "I just did the bone... if you didn't feel that you're crazy. There must be something wrong with you."
In all honesty, I really didnt feel any pain at all. The same thing happened with my wrists when they were done. And as I remember, I didn't really feel all that much pain on my leg either. I'm not sure if this is somewthing I should be worried about or proud of. Either way, high pain tolerance rules!

Fact of the day: I only have the time and patience for this when at work.

Busy Bee

I find I'm always busy at the most inopportune of times. Sure its nice to be busy and have a life rather than sitting home alone sometimes. But once in a while it would be nice to not have things to do, have an open schedule. It gets frustrating having too much to do. I end up forgetting what I'm supposed to be doing, but I know I've been committed to something. Sometimes I'd just like to be able to take a few days just for me. Do the things I want to do for myself. I was going to try and do a few of those things this week, however, I've found my schedule filling up day by day and now I don't even have time to schedule some time in for myself for almost another week. It probably doesn't really sound all that bad, but when you have to wait a whole week to just be able to sit down and cut out a pattern that you've been looking forward to making for a few days, its a little irritating.
I find it hard for me to explain to others that hanging out alone is in fact a blast. I don't know how to justify blowing people off to hang out with no one. Most people don't like to be alone, so I guess they don't understand why I like it so much. I'm just not much of a "people person."

Where have I been?



Pretty much just here and there.
I’ve been meaning to update this thing for a while but I just really haven’t had a lot of interesting things to say. So I'm just going to start posting more pictures of people, things and places.

A little bit of what I’ve been up to over the past few months:

Kristina and I have been on a few sushi dates.



So I had like 4 other things I was going to try and post but I just do not have the time right now with every picture taking about 10-20min each to upload.
I now realize why I've steered clear of the computer for so long. I can no longer deal with this internet connection. Maybe I'll update a little more every day but for now this is all i can give you.
I hate dial up.
Stupid rural locations.


I should update this right after I do these things. I would have a lot more to say.

Stepping Out.

So tonight is my last performance of Stepping Out. I joined this play with my mother because, as you may or may not know, she regularly does community theatre, and in the beginning of this particular play someone bailed on their part and they needed an extra person. Erin happens to be a very tiny community, with an even smaller theatre group so their options were limited. And by limited I mean they had no one else. So my mother asked me if I would do it.

Me, being the child left in the dark of how much work, patience, and effort was needed for this part, said yes. After I was already committed I discovered how challenging this play was going to be. Not only did the other experienced members share their discomfort in this play being one of if not the most difficult plays they have done, I had almost an entire month less of rehearsals than everyone else. I was convinced this was going to be a huge disaster on my part. Not only did I have to learn the lines, the cue lines, stage placement and moving about, but I also had to learn how to tap dance and remember to speak in a British accent for the duration of the play. Also, conquering stage freight was probably the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I went home crying after our first dress rehearsal. No lie.

However, after the first performance I began to ease up a little and really get into the character. The people I was working with are extremely talented and very supportive, so I was glad for that.

All in all, I have actually become pretty comfortable with the part and I must say I am sad to see this experience leave, but I am glad this is finally over.

There was nothing here to make me stay.

This is my formal apology,
I'm terribly embarrassed of snoring. I'm sorry for that Shen & Tod.

Vacation: still in Mexico

Alright, so, y'know what, I'm still in Mexico, obviously, and I'm still listening to the Ocean Waves, and I'm still thinking I'm better off than you are there in Canada. As of right now.
Yesterday, my dad and I were walking along the beach, just for a morning stroll, around 9:30am, and we see a baby turtle making his way to the ocean, I look up farther along the sand hill and see about four more baby turtles making their way to the ocean. I pick up those turtles and help them to the oceans shoreline (as they do in the turtle sanctuaries) and let them go just before the ocean's shoreline to take them away (before the birds have a chance to scoop them up and eat them). My father walks up further up the hill (forgive my i'm a little drunk telling this story) but he walked up farther up the hill and found the nest. he helped to dig the baby turtles out of their nest and gathered them into his straw hat to bring them to the shoreline where I got to release them and then gathered another whole bunch, all together there were about 74-84 baby turtles that we released into the ocean which felt really good; because if we hadn't have helped these small animals to their natural habitat, many of them would have been eaten by birds and died before making it to the big blue. it felt really good knowing that we'd helped an entire famlily make it to the ocean than just the select few thatt would have made it on their own. in fact where we found these small creatures, used to be where the university used to have a reserve for turtles to let them nest, plant and let the babies go, however they lost all of their funding and it has become just part of the beach again where turtles still come to lay their eggs because turtles are very teritorial and they lay their eggs where theywere born. it was really neat to be there at just the right time to help the babies get to where they needed to be. they were ever so cute, and ever so gentle. because of this trip, I Again Love Turtles.

also there goes my las glass of wine. downt the neck. silly british family.
