Summer to Autum to School.

So, it's been a while since I've blogged. I feel like I start every entry like this so I figured why stop now? I have the usual excuses for neglecting this book: I was busy and I didn't have anything to write. Not good excuses but excuses all the same.

It's that time of year again. Back to school, back to reading, back to blogging about nothing in particular. I thought that to start of this lovely school year I should share my summer with you first so that you can all know where I'm at and where I'm going.

April was alright, it was stressful because I wasn't being very successful at finding a job. I had an interview with UPS that went really well and was scheduled to have a second interview when I heard from Climate Technical Gear (formally Helly Hanson Canada Limited) who was offering me full time summer employment thanks to my mother's good friend. Needless to say that I took that job and starting working on the first Thursday of May.

May was good. I worked a lot. I spent a lot of money. It was good.

June had its normal disappointments. My birthday was a mild success. Someone who I wanted to go didn't, people who I didn't want to go did, and I got to see my best friends and had my first legal drink. My brother often jokes about me being an alcoholic now because I often drink martini's, Tequila Sunrises, wine or beer on the weekends with my parents. It's cute. I think that he just feels left out, but he'll get there soon enough.

Nothing of note happened in July.

In August I went camping with my family one weekend and spent one weekend home alone with the dog. I went to see two Shakespeare plays (Titus Andronicus and The Merry Wives of Windsor) both put on by Shakespeare by the Sea. They were both wonderful. I actually saw The Merry Wives of Windsor twice, once with my aunt, uncle and grandmother and once with my family. My Aunt and Uncle from B.C. have taken another year off and they are currently visiting us before leaving on a trip with my Grandmother and other Aunt somewhere in Europe (though they don't know where yet) and my Grandmother is thinking of getting another cat when she comes home because Maurise disappeared (it was very depressing and I'd rather not talk about it).

Although September has just started it's been a fairly busy month in my house. I've gotten all ready for school, got my bus pass and locker at my school, cleaned my room and fish tank, have prepared to get new fish and bought new pants. I'm not nearly ready to go back yet though even though tomorrow is the big day. I'm still really nervous because I didn't really talk to any of my friends all summer and I'm worried that they aren't really my friends anymore, not that that really matters much for my anxiety about class because none of them are really in any of my classes so I'll be drowning on my own.

I've read a lot in the last week so there have been quite a few updates on the book blog. I would encourage you to check them out if you're a book person. I think they're relatively decent and if not I'd appreciate the feedback.

I'd ask you all how your summer's went but you rarely answer

I'm sure you'll all be hearing from me soon.

"Another day another dollar"

Yes friend, I've been to see Sloan again. It was amazing in every thinkable way. Jay smiled at me. I died. I don't really want to talk about it a lot because it's all I've been talking about for the last while but if you want to see some pictures you can go here (link supplied by Sloan themselves)

I bough some post cards today. I'm super cool

I thought they were cool. I'm going to put then on my door to make it more awesome (y)

Last but on least I posted a new look on lookbook. I actually did a description this time so I'm not going to explain it to you but defs go check it out. I'll love you forever <3

Day 26: 10 responsibilities that I have are...

Wooo! RESPONSIBILITIES!

1.) HOMEWORK! gotta get it all done every night! (it's what makes caffeine necessary)

2.) Good grades! That come from doing said homework. These will hopefully help me get into a university of my choosing. Gotta work hard!

3.) Keep my room walk-in-able. I have a horrible habit of piling clean clothes on chairs and then looking for things and having all the clean clothes fall over onto the floor and then get kicked around in my morning stumbles and then presto chango! you cannot move in my room in the dark unless you are me.

4.) Vaccum room after said mess is cleaned up. It happens about once a week or so. I feel better when everything is tidy.

5.) Keep those fish a swimming. This involves feed and cleaning and changing lightbulbs and filters. It doesn't always work out but the two I have left seem content with their tank life.

6.) Doing the dinner dishes. I only do them on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday because I'm busy other days and sometimes if I have a lot of work my rents will do them during the week which is why I had to take on another responsibility

7.)  Laundry. It was either that or cleaning the bathroom. What one would you choose?

8.) Practicing my Piano. If I don't not only do I feel guilty but I don't get better. It's a lose lose situation.

9.) Practice sax. This happens next to NEVER.

10.) umm....be...polite? ...???

Day 23: 10 fun things to do are...

1.) Jam to Darwin Deez.

2.) Read in weird places.

3.) Talk about music.

4.) Play guitar.

5.) Make food.

6.) Annoy your friends.

7.) Watch weird movies.

8.) Shop for clothes and shoes.

9.) Play with your dog or cat or ferret.

10.) Meet new people.

Day 5: 10 lessons that I have learned so far in my life are...

1.) Misery is a way of life.

2.) Music saves everything.

3.) Meeting people from online in rl isn't always a great idea.

4.) Ignoring problems doesn't make them better it just makes you feel a little better for a few minutes

5.) Depression sucks a lot.

6.) Photography makes memories last forever, even when you don't

7.) Friends hold you together better than anything else.

8.) Tights make your legs look skinnier.

9.) Clothes don't make you who you are but they do express who you really are.

10.) No matter what you do people will make fun of you and hate you no matter what you do.

Day 3: 10 things that I would love to have for my birthday are...

1.) A life. I need one badly.

2.) Money for Uni! It's badly needed :(

3.) Books on the reading list for Kings. They're going to be expensive.

4.) New CD's! Music is my lifeeeee.

5.) Other books. I need other ones to read too >.>

6.) Clothes and shoes! Lots and lots of shoes.

7.) A new Ipod

8.) An external Hard-drive.

9.) DSLR Camera (y).

10.) A guitar. Preferably, acoustic.

Day 1: 10 things that make me happy are...

10 things that make me happy? I don't know if they exist.

1.) Piano. It makes me more happy than anything else it the world. It makes everything easier to deal with.

2.) Reading. Reading used to be my vice. I own over 300 books. Sad right?

3.) Old pictures. My memory isn't that great. By that great I mean I don't remember anything ever. To make sure I don't forget anything I hang pictures in my room. kinda geeky right?

4.) Band that are actually good. Different from my guilty pleasure because it's actually, you know, good.

5.) My jackets. They are lovely. And super awesome. ^^

6.) Shoes. All of which are bought from Aldo. Which means that they're cooler than yours (unless you have docs, birks or combat boots.)

7.) Not pants. Pants are uncomfortable and skirts and dresses are so much more comfortable and far more cute.

8.) Sleeping in in the mornings. Sleep is lovely and I don't get a lot.

9.) Coffee. Coffee is the best thing on the face of the planet. It has a lot to do with the lack of sleep.

10.) The internet. It is my life. So very very sad.
