a quick update in the 2 seconds i have free
*takes deep breath*
can you say "busy busy busy"? i'm surprised i've had time to wipe my ass in the last month. since returning home from Vancouver I've pretty much been packing nonstop and going thru the last 26 years of my life and throwing things away.
it's been insanely hectic, trying to tie up loose ends, and seeing friends for the last time. i move in 9 days and it's such a strange sensation. because even tho I can't wait to be in Vancouver with Tay, there's way too much to do in the short time I have left in Edmonton. i can't really convey in words how overwhelmed and anxious I feel.
had a phone interview on tuesday morning with the District Manager for Aveda in BC and i start working for Aveda as of April 25. i am so fucking stoked. a new life in my favoritest city in Canada doing my DREAM job. i'm already 32756897 times happier and i haven't even left yet.
met up with Skippy from work yesterday at the Metro for one last Chicken Parmigiana and pint of beer for old times sake. it was nice.
it's so liberating knowing i never have to go back to Speakwe ever again.. ahh fuck it, TELUS. FUCK TELUS IN THE EAR. I never have to work for that evil evil hellhole of a corporation ever again. I am going to give my notice before i move. my resignation letter is going to start somewhere along the lines of "it is without regret that i am leaving the company..." after I move I am going to make a documentary about Telus and all of its evil ways. i already have a list of people willing to fund said documentary. people in BC hate Telus even more than Albertans. i want to call it "Your telco and you" like a public service annoucement or something. Telus was like a broken mirror - 7 years of bad luck. well guess what assholes? you never get to abuse me again. i'm moving on to bigger and better things cuz I DESERVE IT.
today i went for dinner with Jamie one last time to our Denny's. we had good times. he was surprisingly one of the more understanding and supportive of my friends with regards to me moving away. we've had our ups and downs but I'll still miss him terribly. he's gonna be a dad soon tho so his life is moving in a different direction. much like everyone else in my life - most people i know had SOMETHING going on for them and my life was going nowhere. now I'm actually one of the ones with something going on and i don't feel like such a piece of shit anymore.
tomorrow is my going-away party. i'll be interested to see who shows up. it's the ultimate test to see who i'll actually keep in touch with after i leave. i guess the ones that don't come don't give a shit to see me one final time so i won't give a shit to think about them after i leave.
Bill is going to be in town on Saturday and i'm supposed to meet him for beers. i said OK, but i'm still kinda wondering about that whole thing. i plan to look at hot as possible to remind him what he missed out on.
the last ever Ninja Night was pretty sweet. i laughed so hard. it was great. the only thing that kinda rubbed me the wrong way was when i was double checking that there was no more broken glass in the front hall (Nathan accidentally broke the light cover dealie) and Nathan was standing with me in the hallway giving me a massively tight hug and saying he was going to miss me and we were just sharing a nice hallucinogen-induced moment. and Geoff calls out from the living room "can you two make out some other time so we can start the movie??" i was just like "gee sorry, i'll move away to another province some other time when it's more convenient for you..."
so much going on in my head right now, it's been very difficult to sleep at night. at least Jon has been back on MSN lately so he usually keeps me company till about 3am or so. hehe, trust Jon to keep me up till all hours of the night. i love him like crazy. we've had some really good chats recently. me and Tayce are gonna go out to Japan to see him this time next year and i plan on staying for a while. maybe I can get transferred to the new Aveda salon in Tokyo. :)
there's probably more i could ramble on about but i've been packing all night and i'm sore and braindead. i'm gonna kick back and play with the kitty a little (who is getting SOOO big!). i think the poor thing is feeling a little confused and neglected these days. i hope she'll like Vancouver...
well this will probably be the last update till i'm in BC unless i miraculously find some spare time in the next 9 days to plop my ass down infront of the compy.
till next time...
