Move Along
I’m all moved in. Until I get my room in January though I don’t think it will actually feel like home. This is what I wanted, to be on my own, to live my own life without interruptions. Although there is always someone here yesterday I just felt really lonely.
I was suppose to be in Mississauga/Toronto all weekend but my boyfriends life was far to busy to fit me in like originally planned. When he could squeeze me in it was obvious he was inconviencing himself and that he didn’t want me there. I had gotten all dressed up Saturday and ended up staying home.
Sunday I went to a friends house and watched a few movies and saw her new kitten. Afterwards I proceded to go grocery shopping by myself. I felt very empty and alone. I couldn’t get ahold of any of my other friends or my boyfriend all day. I just needed to keep myself busy with something fun. Even just to talk to my boyfriend, to know that I’m going to be ok would have been helpful.
I went home and unpacked my groceries. I Talked to my mom and my brother and my friend Courtney for a bit but I only felt more alone. I sat infront of my computer trying to cry as discretly as possible. I know I’m going to be ok, I just need some time to adjust to my new surroundings. I’m going to be okay.
I didn't post a weekend kick off song this past Friday. I was so busy it just slipped my mind. Sorry.

My Night Out As An Adult
I had a great evening. I met my aunt for dinner and had some delicous chicken parmesan. I haven't had an actual mean in awhile so I'm sure anything would have tasted good, but this was truly tastey. For dessert we shared a scrumptious white chocolate brownie. Throughout our meal we chatted about life and the current events of out lives.
We then went to The Center in the Square to see Avenue Q. It was so refreshing to walk through the doors and be surrounded by college/unviversity students and adults. Avenue Q was a hysterical musical. I actually laughed out loud along with everyone else in the theaters. With songs about hows its ok to be gay but im not gay, the internet is for porn, every one is a little bit racist and having a girlfriend in Canada named Alberta who lived in Vancouver and wanting to eat her pussy how could you not laugh? Some of the language was vulgar, but definately funny.
Like every thing ment to entertain Avenue Q did have a message. Life is hard, but it gets better. I was definately a fan of this play. I liked how they mixed live actors and puppets so easily. I can also appreciate the similarities between Avenue Q and Seaseme Street.
Big thanks to my aunt who invited me to be her guest this evening. It was a great experience and I enjoyed spending time with her, as always.

His girl Friday's Weekend Kick Off Song
Pokerface - You Me At Six
I've said it before, I'll say it again, I love punk covers of popular pop songs. You Me At Six is a band from the UK that I have fallen in love with. I typically don't like accents, with an exception of aussie accents but the lead singer makes me swoon like he was Edward Cullen.
I'm proud to be able to take full credit for the video because I filmed it. I got a little to into the song though so it's kind of shakey... Sorry. I just saw these guys open on The AP Fal Ball Tour. If you have the chance to see them live I reccomend you do so.

Random, I know.
Hello Blogosphere. Just thought I'd take a moment, sit down infront of my keyboard and type. Even if no one else seems to care, I love writing about the little things, like how my day went, things that are coming up, things that have crossed my mind. I used to do that all the time when I blogged daily on my myspace. When starting this blog though I wanted to keep the daily rantings about my life out of it. Now that I no longer use myspace I lack that outlet.
I'm not saying I'm going to start posting everyday about how frustrating my life is or how I hate so and so for being a such and such, but today I feel like talking about me and what I want and what's goign on in my life. I'm able to do the right?
Theater
My aunt invited me to go see Avenue Q next week at The Center In The Square. My aunt and I used to go see plays at Theater and Company on King St in kitchener. None of my friends appreciate seeing plays like I do so when she first invited me to see soemthing with her I was over the moon. I LOVE theater. There's something about drinking over priced coffee and seeing a play that just makes me feel so cool. My Aunt is the only relative who still enjoys my company and wants to be around me. I guess when you get older people forget about you or assume that ou're too busy being a young and impressionable adult to what to hang out with old folk ;-). She's a pretty cool person to around so I'm really looking forward to it.
Travel
I want to take a trip. Whether it be some where warm to escape the cold come March or across the pond this summer I really want to go somewhere. I've been talkign about a trip since high school and have yet to do it. I really want to travel and I think that now is the time to do it. I'm young and I don't have any real responsibilities other than providing my self the basic necesities of life. I'm not married or have any children. I don't see that changing at all within the next few years. I have some debt, but it wouldn't take long to pay it off. The way I see it, I have 3 years, 4 at most to be care free and selfish. I would like to get married and have kids and I think 25 is a good age for me to start thinking about that. I want to enjoy my youth but at the same time I don't want to be 60 and still be supporting my children. As much as I'd love to be a mother, I want them out of my house and off to college so that I can enjoy traveling and retirement when I'm finanically stable. I want to go to Africa and see a giraffe in its natural habbitat. I want to tan on a white sand beach in thailand. I want to check out all the cool shops in Tokyo, I want to eat vegemite in Austrailia. Theres no way I am going to be able to afford to do thoughs things within the next 3-5 years and I'm ok with that. One day I will do these things though. Getting pregnant after the age of 35 or 36 will make it a little difficult though.
Future
On the same note, I think my aunt and uncle were smart about things. Even they had their child later in their lives they only had one. My cousin and uncle have an amazing relationship. My parents don't have that kind of time to dedicate to one kid like that. They bought a house, fixed it up and paid it off. They are mortgage free. If life decided to throw them a lemon they're not going to be totally screwed and will have no problem making the best tasting lemonaid ever. I want that. I want a normal sized house in a good neighnourhood that my partner and I can pay off. I want one kid, maybe 2 and a dog. I want to live within my means and save. I want to send my kids to college and that way when they are no older than 23 they are living on their own. I can fcuk off the Africa or Thailand or Tokyo or Austrailia for 3 months when I'm in my late 50's and loosing my house or my children needing me will be the least of my worries. Career wise I have no idea what I want to do, but when I grow up I want what they have.
I'm ending this monster of a blog and putting on a movie/getting into bed. Good night friends.

His girl Friday's Weekend Kick Off Song
Checkmarks - The Academy Is...
I know I'm a little late, but what ever. I just got home from the Fall Ball Show at The Guvernment in Toronto. Friday the 13th certainly was unlucky. Despite leaving early it took us an hour and forty five minutes to get the the venue when it ususally takes an hour. There was construction and it was stop and go and then we took 427 North instead of 427 South. Missed meet and greet by ten minutes. On the way home the 427 was closed and we ended up takign brown line and going through mississauga. Luckily my dad can give great directions.
With all that a side, the show was amazing. You Me At Six, The Secret Handshake, Set Your Goals, Mayday Parade and The Academy Is... put on a great show. The only issue I have is that the set was way to short. The Academy Is... played a lot fo their first album, Almost Home, which was great but it would have been nice to hear some stuff from Santi and Fast Times At Barrington High.
I read somewhere that you have not lived until you've moshed to checkmarks. It's a personal fav and I am all over the place when it plays live. enjoy.

Back To The Grind
Today I am headed back to work. With an exception of a three week stint as a pesky telemarketer (4 if you count the time I was off sick wit the flu) I have been unemployed since May. It's been rough and has certainly taken it's toll on my relationship with family members, certain friends and even my boyfriend. It's hard to live life without a little change to jingle in your pocket.
Luckily, just in the nick of time, I was offered my old job back. I had left there end of April to pursue something with steady hours and it didn't work out. I spoke to a friend and will be living with her in Kitchener as her roommate. I wont have my own room until January but a month of living out of a box is a lot better than several on the street.
I'm really looking forward to going back. I feel comfortable with the job and I know it's something that I'm good at. There are no worries that if I don't sell enough or do enough of what ever that I will loose my job. As long as I show up on time and work all my scheduled shifts I know I'm going to be OK. I was a top recruiter when I was there.
I feel very relieved that things are working out in my favour. Things with my boyfriend are going great. The addition of the new GO bus that runs from the Tri-cities to Square One in Mississauga has made our lives a lot easier and saves us the expensive grey hound fare.
I also can see clearly who my actual friends are. My social circle may have gotten a little smaller but it feels a lot tighter. Sometimes all you need are some words of encouragement to get you through the day. When a friend can't even do that it makes you wonder if they're really a friend at all.
Moving forward, I have a lot to look forward to. I'm going to see The Academy Is... on Friday. Within the next few weeks I'm going to start and finish my Christmas shopping. I have flower pots to make and presents to wrap. LIGHTS is coming to Kitchener in the beginning of December and I'm hoping to go to that.
I've also recently attended a friend's Birthday party in Mississauga. By doing so I reconnected with an old acquaintance and have received an invite to another party at the end of the month. I'm looking forward to going and making new friends and having good times.
That's it for now. I need to make my hair and face presentable for my first day of work.

One Less Zombie Girl
I'm sure you're all sick of seeing and hearing about my Halloween costume. My uncle is probably browsing my blog saying to himself "Jeez Friday, Halloween was a week ago, it's time to move on to the next commercialized holiday!" And he's right, it's time for me to move on.
I had taken some pictures on my video camera but it wouldn't show them back to me or acknowledge that I had taken any so I assumed I had lost them all. Turns out they are actually on the memory card. I'm not sure if the memory card or the camera is giving me trouble. I plan on meditating to Buddha in hopes it's not the camera.
Anyways, this picture shows off my chest wounds and gives you the full Zombie effect. If my camera decides not to fail me I plan on making a tutorial video on how to do the make-up your self and posting it to my youtube channel. I spent a good chunk of time making myself look that gross, I deserve the chance to show it off...right?

His girl Friday's Weekend Kick Off Song
So it's Friday, so that means that it's time for your weekend kick off song. This week I chose to give you Ocean and Atlantic by Mayday Parade. Not only will I be seeing them play next week but I feel like I can really connect with this song for one reason or another.
"She said she'll run
Until her feet don't touch the ground
And as the waves carry me out
We'll keep listening
She'll never make a sound
So keep it coming and the details quiet
She's like a ghost that keeps you up all night
And she'll be a secret you can keep
Keep me"

+19
On Friday night I went to my very first +19 show. I have to say it was an amazing experience. I could stand and enjoy the music without the screaming of little girls. There weren't any over protective parents glaring at you. It was a very laid back atmosphere. People drank and danced and maturely shared their love of music with one another.
No one passed judgement on anyone else. There was no drama or pushing or shoving. People weren't standing around on their cell phones the entire night. They were just enjoying a good band play good music. The headlining band, Bishop Allen, were amazing. They're an indie rock band from Brooklyn, NY. You may recognize them from the movie "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist". They are the headlining band at the show that the Jerk Offs play, it's also where Nick and Norah meet for the first time. You'll hear them play their song Middle Management.
I figure if I'm going to miss posting the WKOS I better have a good reason, and I think going to a live show is a good enough excuse. I have posted their song "Click, click, click, click" from their second album "Broken Strings" for you to check out. Let me know what you think.

Life Is For The Living
I didn't post a weekend kick off song on Friday as per my usual rutine. I had every intention of doing it, had a song picked and everything but then I got busy with life and forgot all about it. I was walking down a busy Toronto street Saturday night when I remembered that I hadn't made the post.
I instantly felt guilty and had a sudden urge to ask Allan to take me to the nearest computer with internet to make the post. I quickly realised how silly I was being and brushed it off. I spent a good chunk of time applying Zombie make up to my face, chest and arms so that I could go out and enjoy my Halloween. There was no reason to waste all of my hard work just to go home and upload a song that at least two thirds of my followers wont bother to lsiten to.
I had taken pictures but my camera is messing up and deleted everything for no reason. The first two pictures were from the test I did on October 25th. The third picture I took on my phone. You can't tell buy there are three open wounds and a lot of blood on my chest. Spirit Gum, liquid latex, halloween make up, fake blood, paper towel, make wounds, and regular make up all make up my zombie master peice.
I think I looked pretty bad ass. I realised that I should have to feel like this blog is a priority. I shouldn't feel bad for compermising a post because I chose to live my life a little. SO for suture reference, until I start getting paid for writig blogs, no entry that appears be regular is for sure and I wont feel bad about missing it.
With all that said though, I'll prob post two songs on Friday, just because. How was our halloween?
