My high school boyfriend is engaged. To a girl he's been with for a couple years now. When I first found out I couldn't believe it. For some reason whenever I think of him (which admittedly isn't often at all), I still think of him as he was when we were 17. So it's a little weird to think that the first boy I "fell in love" with is going to get ( Read more... )

I tried so hard to get tickets for one of the FIVE shows the Tragically Hip are playing in Toronto the week of May 12th. ALL FIVE SHOWS HAVE BEEN SOLD OUT. I keep  hoping that maybe more tickets will be released but so far NADA ( Read more... )

I  started another blog that's focusing specifically on the work I do at placement, at Christie-Ossington's drop-in, and at Dixon Hall's shelters/out of the cold sites around Toronto. I mainly created it because some close friends who are in the same program have done it and it's a good way to share success, obstacles, uncertainties ( Read more... )

So today was eventful. I met David Miller and was pretty impressed with his opening speech in which he talked on and on about the city of Toronto's committment to harm reduction. My happiness with that statement died pretty quickly when he left right after instead of staying for the whole forum/meeting. I think his leaving spoke much louder then ( Read more... )

Work today kicked my ass; in a good way though. It's amazing how much work you can have to do with only a couple women. I usually hate working the 8-4 shift because the mornings drag for me but today I was running around checking off things to do on a list that just kept growing. I would check something off and three more jobs would be added. ( Read more... )

It's scary to think that I have met a man that I can honestly picture having a stong, loving, real relationship with. This man is just amazing to me. He's everything I've ever wanted in a partner. And I have it. It's wonderful. I'm so happy. He's sweet and nice and funny and good looking and just makes me smile. He's content to lie in bed with his ( Read more... )

So I am officially twenty years old. It feels weird to think that now I'm an adult. I feel like I should feel much older. I still feel like a little kid. I went to a bar tonight with my roommate and I didn't get I.D.'d. lol As sad as this sounds I was upset. lol I've always gotton I.D'd before. Sometimes I still feel out of place in bars and clubs ( Read more... )

It's been a shitty weekend so far. Combine getting stood up twice, Vancouver losing the series on a crappy, ugly goal, the Sens making it through, breaking a toe, having a $1.82 in my bank account, having marathon training and orientation sessions with new cashiers and discussing money and divorce with my dad and what you get is one bitter, angry, ( Read more... )

So I spent last night waiting for a phone call that never came. I took advantage of the unexpected (and unwanted) night on my own to curl up with freezies and tea and watched the Canuck game. I took comfort in recieving the wake up text message this morning, thinking that it meant the night before was just a misunderstanding and one time occurance ( Read more... )

I really really want Vancouver to win the Stanley Cup. If Ottawa gets to the finals I don't know what I will do. I will be soooo sad. They do not deserve that cup. The Canucks are screwed out of a cup every year. Naslund deserves that cup more than any other captain .. besides Sundin. The Vancouver/Anaheim game was so intense. I was just about to ( Read more... )
