Oh Right, Blogging...

I have been too happy lately to give two shits about the internet. YouTube, my blog, even Twitter (my main Twitter, not just my never-updated Newhat101 Twitter!) have all been put on hold so I can live. I feel like I have a life to live, for the first time ever. I'm not just going through the motions anymore, I feel happy and fulfilled and just... happy. Well, I guess lots of things are still really shitty for me, but one aspect of my life is causing overpowering happiness. I wasn't sure I could ever feel this way, but I do.

It's been over 2 months since I've blogged, if anyone reads this/cares what I'm up to, here's a quick list:

-Was selling X-mas trees for a living, until Christmas of course, been looking for a job since Dec. 26, FINALLY got a job tonight, start tomorrow. Serving at a hotel restaurant. Livin' the high life, lulz. But I need it desperately, as I've amassed over $4000 in debt these last 6 months.

-Went to New York for a week with a best friend, whom I've hardly seen since, and dang flabbit, I miss him. We had an amazing, albeit crazy, adventure in NY. 

-Semester 1 of Uni ended Dec. 11 for me, second semester started Jan. 9. Been doing well, as seems to be my custom, though I rarely make it to class.

-Been spending my entire life with my boyfriend. My friends must hardcore resent me, but I'm allowed to be all "he's my entire life" for the first 3 months or so, right? If you haven't guessed, he's the reason I've been so happy/uninvolved with the internet lately.

-I think I've decided to give up on my YouTube thing, because I really don't care anymore. Obviously I'm still doing the things I've committed to, but I don't plan to start anything new. Maybe I'll make a video about it soon. I'm rapidly losing subscribers anyway, not that I really care, haha.

-This week I was supposed to be housesitting with a friend, but she kicked me out after two days. I guess she didn't like all the cooking/cleaning/taking care of the pets/figuring out why the fire alarm was beeping in the middle of the night I was doing? 

-I am the proud owner of a now 4-day-old migraine. I've hardly been anywhere but bed these last 2 days. It's pretty lame, but I'm trying not to complain or let people know how bad it really is, because I've got a life to live and over-protective people won't let me do anything if they know how sick I really feel. Since no one I know reads this, I should be safe!

-My mother's moving to Florida as soon as she can afford to, leaving her family behind. I mostly just think it's funny.

-My best friend is moving to Switzerland for a year in 2 months. I'm gonna miss her like a lost limb.

In order for my life to be absolutely perfect, for me to have more than one reason to be completely and utterly happy (not that I think I could feel any happier), I wish:

-my friends would all be happy.

-I could catch up with all my friends & see them more often and on a regular basis.

-I weighed 20 lbs less than I currently do.

-I had a dog and time to train him.

-it were summer.

-I had no debt.

-I could buy some new clothes, as it's been a year since I've been shopping. I'd like to clean out my closet/dresser, give it all to charity, and start fresh with a new wardrobe. Of course, I'll need a stunning new body to go with all the clothes...

I think I've gotten way more personal in this post than I ever have before. It's also probably my longest post to date. I don't know why I felt the urge to blog this time, I guess I just need to sort of... validate my life by telling people about it? Isn't that all blogging is anyway?

Surrrvey

I found one of those "put your iPod on shuffle and answer the questions with the song title" surveys... and completed it. Because I'm listening to a talk show on the radio (no, my television/music players/internet are not broken, I'm listening to the show on purpose) I have my fingers and eyes free, so I did this survey. Most of the answers sucked, but here are a few of the best (worst in the cast of the last one) answers:

Describe your kisses: Feelgood by Numbers (by Go! Team)

Describe your grandparents: Retirement (by The Kaiser Chiefs) 

Describe your current outfit: You, Me, & The Bourgeoisie (by The Submarines)

Describe your brother: You Make Me Smile (by Blue October) *aww*

Describe your sister: Lucy at the Gym (by Jill Sobule) 

Describe your appearance: Skeleton Song (by Kate Nash)

I hate: The Third Man (by Xoxo, Panda)

How was your last Christmas? In This Temple, As In The Hearts of Man... (by Sufjan Stevens)

Best friend: Mr. Custer (by Larry Verne)

IM screen name: Escape Artist (by Sage Francis)

Why are you still alive? These Things (by She Wants Revenge)

Is it cloudy outside? Everything Is (by Neutral Milk Hotel)

When was the last time you saw your Dad? One Night Stand (by The Pipettes) *erm, ew*

It made me laugh. Okay, back to the radio. Half an hour of the show left! 

Donc, je travaille dans un jardin de les arbres de Noëls.

I have a new job, I guess. I started Thursday. I'm not really all that enthused about it. I'm working for my old bosses, but with their other business. During the winter they sell Christmas trees. So I'm selling Christmas trees. Even though my family's always had an artificial Christmas tree. And even though I subscribe to the belief that trees belong in forests, where they can happily produce oxygen for animals to breathe along with the carbon monoxide that we spew into the air. And even though my least favourite things including heavy lifting (like trees), chainsaws, and sap. But at this stage in my life, money trumps everything else.

Sorry I haven't been blogging much lately, 3 blog followers. I just haven't had much on my mind that I care to blog about. Although I do plan to elaborate on a few things I've mentioned in videos. 

I'm not in a very bloggy mood. I think I'll go to bed. 

Summer Memories

I recently uploaded a ton of old photos, most of which were from my trip to visit family in Saskatchewan this summer. I thought I'd share some, if Blogger cooperates and lets me upload photos with little difficulty!

Cruising in my Grandma's Mustang!

The view from my Grandparents' cottage.

Oh look, it's flat... in Saskatchewan... no way...

One of Saskatchewan's thousands of desolate shacks.

One of the cows who live near my Grandparents' cottage. Moo!

I Don't Really Have Anything to Blog About

I can't believe it's been 6 days since I last blogged. Oops. This last week hasn't been too earth-shatteringly insane or anything, I've just been caught up with schoolwork and job-hunting. I had an essay and some assignments and tests this week, but that's all over with for now, I don't have another essay due until the 18th! ...I should probably be doing some reading for that one, but tonight I feel like slacking off. Kekeke. 

The world got all snowy since I last blogged, too, it all just fell overnight and it doesn't look like it's going away. This was the view out my window a couple days ago:

Note that I live in a basement :P Note also that I have bars on my window. Srsly.

If it's hard to read, that thing says "You're my sunshine."

Videos coming soon! <3

Oh Man

I didn't get anything done tonight, I was too busy witnessing history! That's right, if you've been under a rock for the last hour and a half, it gives me great pleasure to introduce the new President Elect of the United States of America: Barack Obama! 

Even though I'm Canadian, this is the result I was hoping for! This election affected the whole world, and I'm so very glad it's over and we got the (imho) best result! 

Something else apparently happened to me today. There was a bomb threat or something at my University? The cops and bomb squad showed up, and the buildings right next (and connected) to the one I was in were evacuated, yet I couldn't even hear the alarm bell from my seat. No one came to tell us to gtfo because some fool was gonna blow the place up or anything, nope, if the bomb threat had been real, my classmates, prof and I would have been toast. I sure feel safe at school :S

Okay, that's about all I've got to say, I'd better get to bed so I can wake up early and do all the stuff I didn't get done tonight because I was too busy watching CNN! Night! 

Too Busy to Procrastinate This Much.

I'm not sure if I've ever mentioned this to the Internet/YouTube world, but I'm not much of a sleeper. That is to say, I suffer somewhat intensely from chronic insomnia. Now that you know that, you might understand why I didn't go to class today. I couldn't get to sleep until 5 a.m. (even after Daylight Savings Time), so no way was I gonna be up at 6. I spent most of the day "napping," by which I mean reading webcomics, but I did manage to find and apply for a job that I would really really like to get. Fingers crossed! Well, I'm dead tired, even after all that "napping" today, so I'll be going to "sleep" (probably more webcomics) now. Goodnight!
