I got this Eight Days of Happy Meme from elspethsheir and the rules are simple: for 8 days you have to post something that made you happy that day and tag other people to do it too. So I'm tagging everyone who reads this and what's made me happy today is that we're going to see Franz Ferdinand tonight!

Sometimes when I get stressed I'm just incapable of communicating, no matter how much I want to. This has been a year filled with stresses, both good and bad. The last few months have been fairly rough for me, even though nothing tragic has happened, but when I think of all I've been through this year it's not surprising ( Read more... )

I have lots of lovely Holiday cards that I want to send to friends, so if you would like one please leave a comment with your address.

Since I already had a bunch of stuff to figure out and do, the law of the universe is that something else has to go wrong. We have mold. Around the window sills, on the floor, and on the stuff that was against the floor with the mold. Luckily the only thing that couldn't just be wiped with a paper towel was my sleeping bag and the laundromat seems ( Read more... )

So I didn't get the job at the library. They were really nice about it, and apparently it's only because other people who applied have already worked there. They even said that if anything comes up soon they probably wouldn't even ask me to interview again. So there's no blow to my self-esteem, but I'm feeling a little dumb that I was so sure. I ( Read more... )

Shamoogity asked me a little while ago how living with a boy is, and I never managed to answer her question. I now realize this might not be the best place to answer in case she doesn't read this, but oh well now. I have not been managing to answer many things because life has just been strange lately. I feel like I spend all my time cleaning or ( Read more... )

It's great that today's writer's block topic is about making wishes because I just wished at 10:01 that I'll get the job at Burnaby Library I'm interviewing for tomorrow. I love the time 10:01 because it's the same forwards and backwards and upside down forwards and backwards. But I'm pretty easy and will wish on just about anything.

You probably wouldn't think that approximately 35 hours in a car over three and a half days would make a good weekend, but I had a good weekend. We didn't leave until 5:30 Friday, which meant rush hour traffic and therefore an all night drive. Highlights of that were my first glimpse of the Northern Lights, Rocky Mountains, and not having to be the ( Read more... )

I'm horrible because I'm supposed to be packing since we leave for Alberta soon, but I don't know when so it might be sooner than I expect. I'm in a ridiculously good mood right now. It's almost scary how happy I am and I'm wondering if something didn't sneak it's way into my juice. Maybe my brain is doing this to mask the anxiety about meeting ( Read more... )

I live with a boy now. If anyone had told me six months ago that this would be happening I wouldn't have believed them. But we're all moved in, getting organized, and it's working really well. This place isn't really big enough for three (Derek's previous roommate Marcy is here too), so everything's cramped and still chaotic, but slowly coming ( Read more... )
