Life's alright these days. I just got a second job at a coffee shop and starting next week I'll be working more hours at the restaurant because the other busser's leaving to do night classes. Yay money! Soon I'll be able to afford actual groceries... Woo! I'm definitely not planning on living in Van a year from now. I'm going to go to Toronto later this year if I can and I may move there in a year or so. I'm also going to look into getting a visa for Australia and I might go there for a year. I have an uncle that lives there and Tim may be able to set me up with a temp place to stay. We'll see I suppose. I'm hoping to go home for Talia's birthday on the 22nd. She's gonna be two! Ah! She's growing up sooo fast. It seems like she was born so recently and yet I can hardly remember what life without her was like... Gosh I love the little monkey. I'm thinking of buying her a copy of Christopher's book for her birthday. It's really colourful and such. I'm sure she'll like it as she grows up, plus I like the idea of giving her something that was made by someone that has helped me change my life the way he is. Well, this room is freezing, so I'm going to go bask in the sun before I have to head to work. Ciao!

Today is lazy. I haven't even walked across the street to the bank to cash my paycheck. After rent and I made a whole $9 last month... fuck. Oh well, fuck it. My flatmate, Josh rummaged through some poor person who we're assuming was kicked out of their apartment and whose shit was thrown behind the apartment and found something for me... Yay for rummaging through garbage! It was a dvd called, "An Evening With kevin Smith." It's fucking hilarious. I finally looked up Jason Mewes to see his short hair... Gosh that boy's lovely. God I'm bored... maybe I should cash the cheque. *le sigh* Alrighty then...

So, I watched football tonight with the flatmates while everyone else in Van watched the hockey game. I think I may continue watching football since I have always liked it. I also now have a total crush on one of the Liverpool boys, Xabi Alonso. He's lovely.

Well, it has been a while, hasn't it? I don't have a computer here in Van, so I use my flatmate's while she's out. Not too much is going on over here. I'm very glad I moved here. I don't really like where I'm living right now. I kind of want to get a place of my own, but I can hardly afford living here, so I don't see that happening unless someone else moves here and gets an apartment with me *ahem ahem*. I'm sort of fixing me at the moment. I haven't had a drinking in a week. I had, like, five or six last weekend, but four of those were ciders. I'm very happy with myself about that. I think I'm going to quit smoking. Well, I'm going to try at least. I told myself that the last smoke in my pack was going to be my last. It's a weird thing knowing it's going to be your last. It doesn't feel like it, but you appreciate it a lot more. I had it while sitting in the sun on my patio while listening to Douglas Adams read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on cassette tape. I went for a run for the second time in my life yesterday. I would go for one today, but right now my body's hating me, so I'm going to have to work up to the daily run. I really need a second job. I work at an East Indian restaurant right now. I only work four nights a week for 3-5 hrs. I'm just barely making enough for rent. I don't know what I'm going to do about my cellphone bill... that kind of worries me. I think tomorrow I'm going to go look for a job. I really want to work in a clothing store. It doesn't have to be great, just good enough for me to get retail experience so I can work at the places I actually want to work at. I kind of want to go home for the summer, but it seems like such a hassle. I suppose we'll see how it goes. I'm sure my family would be happy to have me back. I've met someone that I think is absolutely fabulous. He's the one that's made me realize that I can do all of the things I want to do to be the fabulous woman I want to grow to be. His name's Christopher. He's working at the restaurant until his publishing company is up and running. He's been doing the launch for his first book this weekend. He writes children's books. It's neat. I like his book quite a bit. I wish things would happen between us, but they won't. He's quite a bit older than me, so yeah. He has told me he wouldn't date someone my age and I'm sure my father would be happy about that, ha ha. Oh well, he's helped me make changes in me that I was sure I wouldn't be able to make, so I'm very grateful for the time I've had with him and the little time I have left with him. He's someone I'll never forget. I've been trying to call Kris from Bremerton lately. No one answers. That's weirding me out a bit. I don't know if he's avoiding me or if he even lives there anymore. I'm going to email him. Well, I suppose I should go feed myself. I just picked up some soy milk, so I can actually have breakfast now, woo! Ciao all! I love you and miss you dearly!

I'm gone on Monday everyone. The sad, sad day is finally coming. I'm not sure how to feel about leaving. I'm so tired today and my throat/jaw hurts a lot. I was supposed to start packing hours ago, but I ended up just passing out in my livingroom while watching Clerks. (<3) It was Kayla's birthday yesterday. I went out with her and Scott. It was weird hanging out with Scott again after so long. I ended up hanging out with a boy named, Tim until 1p today. It was a good night. This morning we went to the beach and I was playing in the water while he was huddled on the beach in a couple of my jackets. I suppose I should go pack now. I'm really excited to meet my roommates that I haven't met yet. I hope everything works out well. I still don't actually have a job yet, but my roommate, Josh told me about a restaurant up the street from our place that's looking for a waitress. It would be really cool if I got that job. I would like to work really close to home. Going from my place to downtown every morning is no longer a pleasant idea. Ugh, my face hurts...

So, I got the place in Van. It's pretty much rad! I start moving stuff over Feb. 1st! I don't have a job yet, but I hope to change that soon. I really want Spank to hire me, but I did apply at Starbucks and when I'm there on the 18th I'm going to apply at some more place... but WOO!!! It's all happening!
Also, Tyler, I think I saw you again downtown today... I know you didn't see me. One of these days you will though... and then the world will explode from shock.

So, I'm headed back to Van on the 2nd. I'm hoping to look at a room for rent, but it may not be available by the time I get there, which is lame. Oh well, if not, then I'll just have to keep looking. It would be nice if I got the place though. Then I could just spend the next month focusing on my job search there. That would be rad. I'm happy for now anyways. Woospa! Hopefully I'll luck out and be living in Van by February! <3

So, as of February 1st I no longer will be my niece's nanny. So, next month I'm going to either look for a part time job in Van or I'll be finding a room for rent or something like that and a full time job there. Bottom line is: I've taken the first step towards moving to Van! I'm hoping to be there for good by March. If anyone's interested and able to move there in either February or March and they're interested in moving in with me let me know. <3

So, Khloe never called, but Rob did. So I spent my last night in Van with him, then had the worst journey home ever. I got home 6hrs later than planned. I miss Van so much. I mean, I was happy to see a few people and really happy to see Talia, but I don't really like it here that much. Talia hadn't seen me in, like, four days and then I was watching her from when I got home on Wednesday until Thursday night and when I was leaving she started crying and trying desperately to get out of Bree's arms to come after me. I actually started crying. I would have to come visit a lot to see that little girl if I moved to Van because I never want her to not know me. Well, I guess I should get ready to go out now...

So, my Rob plans fell through. I ended up staying with Claire and Jem again last night. Claire and I spent all yesterday window shopping. I had a lot of fun. I'm really liking it here. I wish I had someone to move here with. It would be nice to get away from Victoria and life as I know it, even if just for a while. We found a store called Spank yesterday and Claire fell in love with a coat there. We went back today and she bought it, along with a sweater. I was supposed to go to her morning class with her today, but apparently it was cancelled, so at, like, 9a we headed into town (that's when she got the coat). We met up with Ande (<3) at the Starbucks we've been going to every day because there was a super cute boy working there the first time we went there, but we haven't seen him since, so we are le sad. Ande took us to some random vintage shop that was awesome, but I have no money, so I couldn't buy anything... Piece of advice for everyone: If you're staying in Van for, like, four days bring more than $100... you will want to shop and you won't be able to at all. I didn't think we'd spend this much time downtown, but I love downtown. There was a pretty rad girl working at Spank today. Her name's Khloe. I'm supposed to go hang out with her after her lunch date because Claire's busy with school today and I have no idea where Jem is. I'm happy I met someone I can hang out with, ha ha. Maybe she'll come out with us when I come back on the 16th for birthday fun. So far the only people coming out with me here are Ande and Claire. I think Ande said that Michael's coming out here on the 16th as well and is supposed to get an ID for gay bars, so I'm hoping he does and that he'll come out too. I'm sort of bored right now. I'm alone in their apartment, MSN isn't working and I don't feel like watching a film... so all I have to do is wait for either Claire or Khloe to call... what fun, woo! I go home tomorrow morning. I don't want to. Bwaaaa! I have to work at 3p though, so I have to. I'm sort of hungry, but I don't feel like going outside right now. I'm still shivering from being outside twenty minutes ago. I supposed I can waste time by reading my book... I did bring it for alone moments after all. I love reading because KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! Ha ha, oh I know... dork and a half.

*Jon is calling*
L- Hello.
J- Hey hun, whatcha doin'?
L- Just walking with Bryn and Claire.
J- ... Are you in Vancouver?!
So, I'm enjoying myself here. I spent last night at Bryn's. There was six of us there. Me, Claire, Bryn, Travis and the boys'other roommates, Danielle and Mike. We had fun. Lots of drinking, some blazing. Cold cigarette breaks. Wet wet WET clothing. So drunk. Claire did a lot of passing out while sitting in random areas, wanting the throw up on books, and randomly coming into rooms and taking photos, then running away giggling. I was Katharine Hepburn for quite a while, it was neat. I woke up beside Bryn in bed and Claire climbing into bed with us. She and I were cuddling without pants (le gasp) and talking really loudly. Bryn had to give up on sleeping. There is so much snow here. It started yesterday. I was planning on bringing both my little black slip-ons and my boots, but I obviously forgot my boots because I'm a tard, so I've been walking around with frozen feet. Today there was Van Denny's action with Claire and Jem. It was good, but they have a water issue now, so there was almost nothing to drink. Claire and I frolicked around town for a while, now she's in bed and Jem's "doing homework"... which is apparently just sitting at the computer. I'm having a lot of fun. Tomorrow I'm going over to Rob's and now my friend, James wants to come here and steal me, so I may try to get my Wednesday shift covered... Oh well, I'm coughing like mad apparently, so I'm going to go fix that now...

So, I went to see Marie Antoinette on opening night. I really enjoyed it. I loved to soundtrack. I have it on hold at A&B Sound for when it comes in, but I'm getting tired of waiting. I've tried downloading it, but my downloading program is so lame. It spends more time disconnecting itself than it does staying connected. So, I have one song and I've spent well over an hour trying to download others and it won't even let me search for them, so I've given up and am listening to Hong Kong Garden by Siouxsie and the Banshees wishing the albums would continue, but nope. I think I'm going to actually give myself days off in November. This only having a couple days off a week isn't working for me. Jon and I are supposed to go to Edmonton on the 18th/19th, but I just remembered that Bree's birthday is the 18th, so I don't think I can go then. I would like to spand the weekend with Keyth Wedgewood, but he should be moving back around New Years, so if I can't find a weekend Jon and I can both go then I'll just wait until Keyth's back to see him. I don't know what to get Bree for her birthday... Ugh! I don't even think I got her anything for her birthday last year... Best sister ever! I miss people. When I see them it's a gathering and I don't spend as much time with certain people as I would like. I got to hang out with Stacey, Jay and Lauren for the first time in ages. It was sooo good. I love Jay and his apartment. I miss Stacey so much. I must go now. Wheee!

So, Jon and I are watching Spun, right... by the end of the opening credits we're talking really fast and being fidgety and twitchy and we aren't drinking. That's weird right... I hate when drug films take over my mind. I mean, I've never done these drugs and I never will...

Oh, how life seems to enjoy ruining my life piece by piece lately. I'm fairly certain that the tickets for Wicked are sold out for the days Michael and I would be able to go to. I have to call tomorrow to find out for certain. Oh well, I guess I wasn't really ever expecting to see it. Maybe one day, just not on this tour... so probably never a quality performance, but hey, maybe one day it could happen? That does cut down expenses for our trip down a bit. That's one thing that's worked out for me lately. I will definitely be making enough money to go there and my father's taking me to get a start on my passport this week, if not tomorrow. So, that's good. At least Michael and I get to see Kris, though at the moment I'm not entirely sure how much he wants to see me... *le sigh*
If I wasn't watching Darkwing Duck, I'd sure be blue.

"Hah, I told everyone I was marrying the love of my life today at work... and they didn't believe me! I even told them the story of how we met, they kind of did after that. I was like... But I have pictures!"
So, finally, after two years of waiting for the right time, Kris and I are a couple! Right now it looks as though we're only going to be seeing each other once or twice a month, but in March I should be living with him for a month or two. Basically, we're way too happy that this whole thing doesn't really feel like it happened. I had to make sure for the third time today when we were on the phone that we were a couple for sure. Oh jeez I can't wait to see him! <3
