Boy oh boy... what a blog!

http://blogs.celebs.msn.ca/2010/12/lady-gaga-goes-pants-less-in-paris.html


So she is probably wearing a thong or something... yet people don't get all hyped up when stars are wearing string bikinis that pretty much bare all but these guys are all mostly attacking Lady Gaga for dressing this way... At least she is mostly covered. Expression of self is important... yes maybe this may be too much for the kiddies but us adults are well ADULTS... We have the choice of dressing the way we want to... I think this is just stupid that people will fight over things like this... Who cares what she dresses up... and if you don't want your kids to dress like this then you should be a responsible parent and tell them that it is okay to express yourself but in the REAL world... not the fake plastic world of CELEBRITIES and HOLLYWOOD that there are boundaries to how you can dress in public.

I am not saying that you should put your kid through hell if they from time to time go a little crazy and they are bound to most likely from time to time... we were their age once before... Everyone needs to express themselves...

I personally wouldn't go out wearing this kind of attire but that is my own self...

I love it that she can stir emotions of people and get communication going between people. There really isn't enough of that going on anymore... People are such close-minded and don't really seem to put themselves out there in the world... Yes it's pretty darn scary place but this world is what we make of it.

I think its time that we all start evaluating our own lives and see what it measures at... probably not as well as when people as a community get together and do things as a whole.

Life is precious. Life is short.

We really haven't that much time in our lives to make of it what we really should but I say we should not fear one another.. We should not be rude to one another or beat one another down.

We should unit as people of different cultures, different races, different views. It's time that we accept that not everyone has the same opinions, the same goals but so long as they don't hurt other people. It is just a pacifist way where people do not get harmed in the processs, then I say let people believe what they want to believe.

I know I'm not going to waste my time dissing Lady Gaga. I appreciate her weird sense of whatever it is that she is channeling. She's just doing what she believes in and it's not hurting anyone is it???

Hmm, I've not felt the urge to write this early in the morning in a long while.. Seems I have been up for almost an hour now, my thoughts spurred me into this energetic mode that doesn't seem to want to stop at all. Though I am sitting in the dark at my computer dwelling on something that is so profoundly amazing to myself. My life's road has become that much clearer already. My insights to myself and what I want to do in the future is quite curious...

I have decided that I may need to go back to school, maybe even self teach myself to get better at what it is that I want to partake..

I do apologize that you don't really know what it is yet, but I really do have some important people in my life who I need to chat with first.

Okay.. Okay.. I really should not leave you hanging in the balance wondering, waiting... but I think that I will start my own business but first there are so many aspects of this that I do not understand and have yet to grasp which is why I want to look into schooling and what not.

Here I am, 11:43 at night and still awake... Sometimes I wonder why... other nights it's just a fact of life. Sometimes I get only 3 hrs a sleep and am lucky if i can get even 6.

I don't know what's been bothering me truly, though I wished I could sleep on it and figure it out... That would be really nice especially right about now.

Sleep will come on it's own accord... though I think maybe I should put on a movie and lie down for awhile... See if that might help.

Well last night ended up being a really great night. It was a girls night shooters party. Everyone brought their favourite shot. I think the next time I go I will bring something better than just rum, something interesting. Then we went to The Voy... yep that's what everyone calls this place.. I don't particularly like it that much but last night sure was a great time. They say they only play country music but if Lady Gaga and Sean Paul and the like are considered country now then I am down for that.

It seems that other than dancing for a large part of last night was the only exercise I got. It was a fun night and got to see some people I haven't seen in ages. :D

Hmm. If anyone is out there, do you have any ideas on getting motivated to exercise more and/or tips on saving myself some money. I would love to hear your input if you have anything useful to give.

I will say for now that I have yet to start exercising. I am going to aim for at least 30 minutes a day of exercise outside of walking to and any nights out, if there are to be anymore between now and my birthday.

Ok well gotta head to the store now and get a few things. See ya! :D

Hehehe...

So didn't really get much exercise today but I think that will be just fine as I am going out with some of my friends to go dancing :D I know I shall have a blast. This is a quickie update as I have to go shower and get ready for tonight. Not a whole heck of a long time even though I was hoping to maybe get a quick nap in somewhere between a long day at work and going out but that is fine. I'll sleep very well when I get home.

Chow for now!

Oh yes, almost forgot about the wonderful world of blogging today... almost went off to dreamland without even giving a thought to posting... yep... maybe the whole daily thing is a bit much... I'm not really too sure just yet but I won't give it up for now anyway.

My mind is bits and pieces of fragments right now, I feel like my whole nervous system is frayed and I am paler than usual today... hmm.. I really should eat better and sleep better... talking about sleep.. oh man what a loonng day it felt like today. It went fast but then my body just feels like this... I did not do any exercise today and work is not exercise even if you are moving around alot.

Hmm.. I hate this time of month... it's like this alot. I should probably eat more foods with iron in it as I am usually more tired and what not. As well I did have an iron deficiency the last time I had gone to the doctors.. Which reminds me that I still have to make those doctor's appointments...

Procrastination... why do we just love it so much? Why must we do it more often than actually doing what we should be doing? It just seems like an odd thing to do, exspecially when you are not feeling the greatest lately.

Well looks like I better hit that bed before I crash my head on this keyboard, litterally I might like to add

Till next time!

Update #2

Well World of warcraft update is finally pulling through and it won't take me 2 days either... yes I know that wasn't anything to do with my goals but I do love to play.. what else can I say about that? Hmm, I am interested to know what is different and changed this time round :D

Well onto the boring part... I didn't do much exercise other than walk to work this morning and I ate a very horrible lunch of some chips... that's it, that's all. Though this morning I did get to eat some of my aunt pat's homemade pumpkin bread, ooh so very delicious. The best of the best I must personally say. :D

Hmm, I have rolled change I should probably put in the bank as it's sitting on a table taking up space.. MAybe I should make sure it doesn't collect dust before I do so.

Oh my, my head is feeling pretty heavy, probably because I am so bloody tired tonight, again. Oh well that is the joys of life right now. My mind is go, go, go all the time with all these things I have to think about and what not and been very busy with work and thanksgiving weekend just passed, had alot of fun then too. Just not enough down time to actually recuperate from much right now. I think my next two days off I get I am going to do absolutely nothing! Well not absolutely nothing.. I'm sure that's not really plausible...

Anyhow I am off to dreamland! Have a great night!

Official update #1... yes I did miss yesterday...

Ok so I forgot to post yesterday, really wasn't my fault. I was out all day yesterday, out walking, might I add, not sitting around in the house. Today I was out all morning except briefly when I needed to drop off my things that I bought at the mall today. So yeah the last two days may not seem good for money wise, but I did get some things that I needed and I think I am nearly finished buying everything I will need to get my boyfriend for his birthday. I am excited to say that as well.

The other thing that has kept me from being on here is the fact that I am trying to download the patch for World of Warcraft, the previous one to the patch that is now out. YEah... to say the least I think it's safe to just go on here now that it has been a day and a half that it's been trying to download and it is only at 47% so far. And I hear that on the forums people are complaining that it took them an hour... not that bloody promblematic if I may say so myself. Try waiting as long as I have... I dread this not being able to play as my character is almost 80, almost by like at least 6 bars maybe more maybe less.

Okay... Okay, off the subject a bit there but that's okay with me. I got the batteries for the wii, so I will start back on wii fit again because I found that helped motivate me more than the idea of going to a gym would be... you know those places where all the people go who actually don't need to lose weight and are fit and trim like you wouldn't believe go because they think that they have some kinda club thing going there.

I am not fond of these. I mean it would be nice to have one of those stationary bikes and what not but I can always buy a bike next summer which is going to be one of my goals for saving money.

Gotta figure a way to save money....oh and thinking about saving... When I was at the bank today the lady who served me noticed that my plan I had for my account wasn't that good. So now I pay $4 more than the previous plan but am saving anywhere between 18-25 dollars a month. So I have decided that I am going to pretend I am not saving that anymore and it will just go directly into a savings account. That sounds kinda nice now doesn't it?

Maybe just a little.

Hmm... I suddenly feel the urge to watch Confessions of a Shopaholic again... wonder why that is?

Well anyhow I am out for now, there's the update for today...

It's time to get back into shape...

You know... because I am no longer as fit as I was last year... both financially and body is out of shape again. Time to get back onto the Wii fit craze I had last winter and knowing that winter is once again going to be settling itself into my world I should make the best of it while it is here. Time to also start saving up money instead of always spending it. Think that might be why there are a bunch of rolled up coins on the kitchen table as I know once it goes into the bank it is probably going to be spent yet again. So many other things and goals i want to do and make but I am not that good at goal setting, let alone sticking to it. So here goes another attempt. Starting tommorrow I am going to get these things in check and update every. single. day about it on here.

Time to change. Time for growth. Time to start is now. :D

Goal # 1. Lose the Debt and start saving for the future. :D
Goal # 2. Get back into shape and get a healthier lifestyle going :D

Bored outta my mind and thoughts aren't drifiting anywhere other than why can't cleaning get itself done? why oh why? That's right I'm not rich and cannot afford a maid to do it for me, oh well. I guess I better get a nap in before I get back to cleaning and hope my headache goes awaay..

yes oh yes just friggin ranting I guesss. maybe I should have left it for the blog. Oh but wait, isn't that exactly what I am doing at the moment :P

man oh man, I wish that I didn't have this headache or this overall feeling like a stupid truck ran me over. My body aches all over and has been for a few days now. It's not been a pleasant affair.. part of it I know why it is happening but part of it I am not too overly sure why it is so bad this time. I might have to take some more pain killers again.

My mind is still hazy from whatever my body is going through, whatever it is and I do plan on calling the doctors tommorrow to see what is going on.. I still plan on getting myself healthier and more financially stable.

On thinking about this blog and what I want to do with it... It will still be fairly random while I collect my jumbled thoughts together but I really truly think that I can make this thing go somewhere even if it is just ever I that reads back on it from time to time.

I love the freedom that writing gives you and the adventures that reading can take you on. There is no other exception exept I am sure there are some out there..

On another note once I am done watching the last episodes of 24 (from the dvd) and the official movie for it I have decided that I am no longer going to watch any kind of TV or program.... yes I have decided that once it is done I will not watch anything for a whole year.. Try and use this well wasted time on getting motivated to start living my life and start taking control of this mess in my place and use it as an outlet to do other things. Sadly I'm not too sure how well that objective will go as it's next to impossible not to be in a room without a tv these days. Also winter is fast approaching as well... Who knows where this might go... It's just a thought... something that has been crossing my mind more and more lately but only once I am done season I really want to finish will I truly know just how real that thought just might be.

Time for quality of life not just quantity..

Anyone know?

Anyone know any good tips and hints to save up money and get out of debt? How about how to stop procrastinating and getting things done?

I do know one thing at least that I have decided to do and that is I am going to start a daily log of all the things I eat and do in a day... Something to start off.

An operation ME is in progress it seems. I need to get back into shape and need to maybe know how unhealthy I eat and see what I can do to replace these bad habits. I am also going to include how much I spend and where in a day as well but I would love to hear some ideas... that is if there's anyone reading this. Are the crickets still chirping in this corner of web? Are the cobwebs so thick here that no one dares to venture here? Ah well... Who knows? Certainly not I but maybe you?

Just a tiny blog for the day

Don't get me wrong but today is just one of those days that I am just chilling out and listening to some music. It's kind of one of those bleak cloudy days where you are pretty sure it's going to rain sometime soon and you just hope that it finally does. Was hoping for a much brighter day, maybe even go swimming or a nice long walk along the waterfront even. Though I have dishes and clean up to do today as well... Yes not a very exciting or epic day at all.

I am not really too sure why it is that I am writing on my blog at all today but at least it is a little something, even if it is not much... Well I cannot believe how frequent my blogging has been in the past. I never really thought I would turn to this as much as I have. It is a still fairly new outlet for me at the moment.

My crafting area is under construction. I haven't done too much in that department. Maybe I should put up that extra shelf I had gotten quite a few weeks back so I can put up some trinkets on there. I should probably fill the organizers as well with all the little things I have.

Yes lately procrastination seems to be my best friend. I'm pretty sure I would rather not have it that way. Guess I better get my butt in gear and get something done today. For today that is my goal: Put up the shelf and organize somewhat in that area of mine. :D

At least it is a little something!

I PRAY

I PRAY

By PENNY ANNE FAIRMAN

I weep because you're gone
I pray that it never happens again
This sad loneliness you had to face
Tears not of joy but of pain
Of losing hope, brought down
By a force of mankind; abuse

I tremble in thoughts of this
Of losing someone dear
Because a man didn't care
Instead they beat her down
With words worse than spears
She was forced to face alone
Because fear made her sway
Losing hope of a better day

I hope her child does not witness
This insanity of her choice
I hope they finally take action
Long before this ever happens

Maybe even if I glimpse this myself
So that I may help her even if not much at all
Because she is a friend so dear
I pray she doesn't become the statistic...

You ever feel alone even in your own home with your significant other in the other room? I feel a little dissconnected from everything right now, like I am floating in some surreal dream. I should be happy, glad to be going camping this weekend. I canot seem to shake this feeling of dread and worry.. I don't even know truly why that fully is... I feel mostly anxious about this weekend... Like I feel something bad is going to happen. I already feel it in the air surrounding me right now...maybe it could be my imagination but in some ways I highly doubt it because this is my deep instincts telling me this... who knows? Only time will tell. For now I guess I just have to wait and see how things unfold...

Da, da,da dum! I am the Wide Awake Blogger! In the wee hours of the night or well anytime I darn well please I will blog away about either the best things or just rants. Maybe even the funniest things that happened to me in a day or the worst! Just a little glimpse, a synaspe into this life of mine, well mostly this brain of mine. Hopefully you will be intrigued enough to have a closer look, maybe not. However it does not matter if it is either. I am here to have fun, to do what I need to so I can release whatever is going through my mind at the time I come to this blog whetehr good or bad. That is the beauty of writing. You can write whatever you want and feel that those pent up emotions have been set free so that they are no longer caged up in your mind, fighting and clawing its way at it's room wanting to be released. Time will only reveal if it was a good thing to release or not... Though it has been a little while since I started blogging I am sure that this has been probably one of the better things that I can do for myself right now. I have had so little thoughts when it comes to writing lately and I am trying to do new avenues so as to get the juices flowing and get these wheels a turning. Just need a little spark once in awhiel to do that, a little elbow grease and so much less time on my hands as well. I have been fairly busy lately... working 4 day weeks, hanging out with my boyfriend watching episodes of 24... probably one of the best things that I have watched in a little while.
Well oh my! Look at the time! I gotta jet and get this mind into dreamland sooner rather than later. I have a feeling this week is going to be really trying and very energy consuming...

Have a great night all! :D

The Wide Awake Blogger :P

writing exercise 1

Ok so I asked three people tonight to give me at least 5 random words.

1: Ravishing, erotic, genuine, purple, temptation, unique
2:Random, head, top, give, off
3:Mustard, caviar, ships, greens, kibble

Tessa was such a ravishing erotic and random person. You never knew what temptation she would throw at you next whether it be grinding into you on the dance floor or just blowing down the highway in her purple convertible with the top off, or even something even more random than that. Tessa was one of those unique girls and despite her beauty and diva- like style she really was a genuine down to earth kind of girl. You just had to get to know her well before you can get into her head and know the real person down inside that she hid from the world because the world was cruel, had shaped and she had moulded herself into what society wanted so that she could survive. She didn’t just give anyone the time of day but I had been her friend since before and had known her well.
Once upon a time long ago she had lived the high life, sailing on the most luxurious cruise ships eating caviar and the best greens money could buy. Now it was a struggle for her to even get anything that she needed or wanted. Somehow in her descent she had come upon this reddish brown dog that reminded her of our favourite movie we used to watch as kids and she called her Sassy. Even though she couldn’t really afford the kibble she made sure the dog was fed before herself. Sassy became her pride and joy.
Now who am I? I am Tracy. Just Tracy. Nothing more nothing less. I am Tessa’s best friend in the whole universe. I hate mustard and Tessa knows about it and every chance she gets she will make her point to tease me about it. She even chased me once around our apartment before and I kept running till she was out of breath but she ended up squirting me in the face with the mustard... It was payback. I grabbed the ketchup off the counter and chased. We ended up with a huge mess that took forever to clean up.

Tessa and I both had boyfriends that we often seen. From time to time one of us would be gone from the apartment for days with our boyfriends so it hadn't been unusual when she dissappeared. It was only halfway into the second week that I started to really worry. Usually if we were going to be gone for more than a week we would at least let each other know that.....

my boredom causes me some grief tonight, it is 1:19 am in the morning as you will probably already know from when it says this was posted but I will say it anyhow.. I am so tired but too energetic to fall asleep right now... I want to bounce around the house doing a bit of this and that but my significant other is sleeping and I am trying not to disturb him as whatever mood this is I am in has got me thinking all over the place right now... I really REALLY should be sleeping right now.. I have to go help my best friend move right now... gosh it seems my friends are moving around lately.

I recently bought this much older camera from my work for next to nothing compared to what they go for when they were first out and probably to what they would be now as it is something somewhat ancient. It is VHS for crying out loud... Sadly it does not work, though that is okay because I will use it as a prop... A prop you may say? I do have a working camera that is definitly not too shabby...

I have had writer's block yet again for the billionth time this year it seems and so henceforth I am going to try something a little bit on the unconventional part... at least on my part of things because long looong ago my friends and I used to do little movie bits, did things like make our own titanic movie to a crime scene movie beginning...

I'm going to try impromptu...see what the heck I get and if the results if they are really fantastically interesting I shall post it on here... I've got a camera prop... and now if people are actually reading this.. I would love to invite you to tell me something to use in this effort of mine....

yes maybe you should be ready to laugh your butt off or shake your head and wonder wtf you just saw... I dunno really...

Well till next time...

Finally snagged a job! YEAH!....again.....

So the job hunt is at a halt now as I snagged myself a job finally! I am glad for that, as well as the fact that I don't start until next tuesday at 8:30 AM. Which means that I get the long weekend to spend it with my boyfriend. I dunno what we are going to do. I definitly know I want to celebrate the fact that I got a job finally. Yeah I won't be struggling, wondering how to make some money. Now I have a job and now I don't have to worry about that. I will know much more about my job when it comes the day that I start :D

ROBIN HOOD was really good tonight :D Sadly I am in a lot of physical pain because of all that dancing I did last night! It was worth it though! I did have alot of fun. Though lately I feel the need to take some time and reflect on everything in my life right now even though I cannot get away from the world to do so at this point in time. Hopefully soon just so I can figure out my life and where it is heading because I'm not too sure at this point in time where it is even heading. I feel like I am just along for the ride and have no control over anything that is going on. I don't really like that feeling all that much.

I am just so tired and needing rest right now. I will go do that soon just have a few thoughts to jot down and try and write a bit. My mind is this foggy haze and even though it is such, I still have a few tidbits of thoughts rambling around in there that appear out of nowhere like demons wanting to haunt me and to write it out is better than to let it resurface again...

Kitchen disasteriffic...

Oh my! What an EPIC fail making cookies today... Yes, yes you did read that correctly... Apparently you really can screw up making cookies. I have not baked anything in awhile. I used to be really good once upon a time long long ago but I cannot boast of that because with today's episode because apparently that is not the case anymore..

I was just making peanut butter cookies. I followed the recipe(ON the side of the peanut butter) jar exactly. Even though it has been awhile I am pretty sure that when you go to roll them into balls they are not quite that sticky because my mom and I used to make this particular recipe all the time... they rolled up very well before. Not the case this time. I had to scoop it out. I am still not too sure what it was that made it like this...If anyone knows any tips, let me know (Because I think I might need to take a cooking course! LOL! though I cook very well on the stove just not a lot of varieties of stuff.)

I am still not entirely sure if it was the cookies or something in the stove that made it smoke up so much, I had to open a few windows.. That and the fire alarm went off a couple times. A chair has been placed underneath it for the time being. Hmm I guess I will not be baking anything in the oven anytime soon that is for sure. I should probably take the time today to clean it out. That is a very good good idea... ooh and clean up some sugar up off the floor....

Have a terrific day and I hope that if you decide to cook or bake today that you don't have quite the time that I did. Either way let me know how well you did! Or how well you didn't. Either way just let me know!

My Eco Friendly Snowman!

So here he is... I am going to call him Yacko! ... Do not ask why.. I have no idea why I called him that. Well I almost got iced out as the screen door got all icy and I had to figure out how to get back inside! Thankfully a few tries and I got back in.

Oh what a snowy day today!! And it is May!! Grr

Gah, woke up this morning to find out that it is snowing out... Not just a little bit either but a whole lot and has been snowing for hours now. Well at least I got a few winter pictures to show you as I kinda didn't take many this winter at all:D

It is May! What is going on with the weather? Haha oh well, maybe if it is the right kind of snow, I can make a mini snowman! :D Which reminds me. I do believe I am going to go see if it is or not! :P

Post a pic of it later! :D

My blog is Carbon neutral!

If a tree gets planted because of this then all the better. Something good like this to come from such a simple and easy act? Well then I am all for this. We need more trees on the planet, not less. :D

Follow the link and check it out! :D

Definitly wouldn't hurt to check it out, that is for sure! :D

Dimitra's cuteness, scrapbooking, and sewing.

So that is a short video of Dimitra playing with her most favourite thing in the world to play with. She will literally mew at me for 15 minutes while flopping on it to coerce me into playing with her. She will not play with it otherwise.. So I have to give in. She has grown up quite alot since I got her.

Though you should hear her the last few days (though not tonight) mewling at the moth that got inside the house. She was chasing it everywhere and was running all over us in the bedroom. As the moth was of course atracted to the tv, the only thing that was on. Paige, the other cat got pretty curious about it as well looking for it. It was quite a night monday and apparently tuesday it happened as well. My boyfriend told me she was running all over me, guess I was sleeping like a log then. LOL!

Hmm monday this week was certainly a very exciting day as you could read about it in my previous blog about the tree. that's all I will say about that though. Now on to scrapbooking! I have decided that I am going to make my own scrapbooking album as all the ones that I have seen are just too expensive, plus all kinds of people will have the exact same scrapbook as mine, minus any of the embellishments I put on it. I shall let you know more about this developement as I move it along. That will be a fun experiment, keeping fingers crossed that it should not turn out disastrous.

So here is my latest scrapbook page. (which is at the very top of the page... things got really screwy on here for a moment there... it signed me out?however that is possible.) It is from my world religions trip to toronto that I took in High School. It was a fun trip! Though sadly I forget all the places that we had visited while there because it has been that long. I got part of my inspiration from stopping at this scrapbook store run out of the woman who owns it house. They have scrapbooking contests and winners get a gift certificate towards supplies in the store. Even though I am not able to enter that contest or the one that is today, the idea was still great. It was a "wrapped in yellow ribbon theme and you also had to use either birds or flowers. I chose butterflies and birds.

The theme that was due today is "Home". Show whatever home means to you. I still might be able to meet the deadline as the store only opens at 6pm tonight. I am not sure if I will or not. It will depend on how long I am up for now and how much time I have when I finally do get up after going back to bed because I know I will soon. At leat I hope that I do.

Well my step mom is going to have a look at my sewing machine that I was given by a very kind lady here in town to see if it really needs a tuning or not. Maybe she might show me how to use it? Well If not I will look on youtube for some how to videos. If that fails then I will see if I cannot get lessons somewhere...

Hmmm... I am certainly wordy tonight. I think I will hop over to my novel that is well behind schedule and see if I might get a little bit of catching up done. :D

If not then my deadline for it will be pushed back by a week more than originally, with more words added...possibly.. Let's just see how it goes for now..

Tree branch anyone?

So finally 4:30 am and heartburn/indigestion is keeping me.... so I guess I will write this blog that because I went out for my usual monday margarita/nacho night with my boyfriend and some friends that by the time I got back and after we watched a movie. It was too late to write and the last few days have been kinda busy...not working busy but I helped my dad do a few things around his home... you know because he wanted me to help him. I was more than happy to help with a few chores around his place. After all he has done for me, I am not hesitant to help him out around his place when I can. :D


Anyhow, I will now get to what it was I have been wanting to write. On monday the most curious of things happened. I was sitting in the living room when I heard this big bang. I looked out into the kitchen (the two rooms adjoin) through the window I could see the tree outside. I thought to myself... I should not be seeing the tree out back through that window. So I go outside to investigate sure enough the tree branch that I told my boyfriend awhile back was probably going to let go because it looked pretty rotten. Well it finally did that day.

I was worried, as you can see in the picture, there is a dog pen. That day one of the two people who live upstairs was home.. I went to ask him if his dog was inside. Though don't be worried at all. The dog was safely inside and not harmed. He came and had a look at what had happened.

The only thing that had stopped it's full descent to the ground was the clothesline. It was too heavy to move ourselves and we were jsut going to wait for my boyfriend to get home before doing anything about so we went back to our places.

A little while later, maybe 15 minutes to a half an hour? maybe longer, maybe shorter than that. I am not entirely sure. I heard another big bang. I went out to investigate yet again. The upstairs guy (I don't want to name him because well I am sure he doesn't want to be named. I won't ever use someone's name without their permission.) He came out as well to see what had happened. Not the clothesline but the post had given out under the weight of that huge chunk of branch.

Luckily in all this, no one was outside as well as the tree branch never hit the house. We never used the clothesline anyway. We might not even bother putting it back up again. though It would be better to hang clothes out to dry on sunny days. I think I would get a stronger post though...just in case if any more branche decide to fall. Not that it would fall that way anyhow.

Ok so the top left hand picture shows you just how big this branch was. The right hand picture shows that the clothesline was indeed holding up the tree and not the dog pen. The last one shows where it had broken off from the tree...

30 days!!!! :P

By the way that camera club meeting I talked about was cancelled that day. Hoping to maybe get there this month though!

Lately I have not been doing what is truest to my heart. Writing... I have not really written anything serious in awhile, just scribbles of notes and this and that. So my goal is that in 30 days I will write a full rough draft of a story. I have to write about 1,667 words today.. The day is growing ever shorter now as it is 3:17 in the afternoon... Looks like I have alot to do.. well maybe if I can think up of something to write so I will be doing a bit of research or something to get some ideas flowing through this head of mine. :D

I did not think up this idea on my own. When I figure out where the book is that had given me this idea before I will definitly post it! I had tried this out before and I do believe I got almost a week into it before I got so insanely busy with work that I couldn't do much else other than sleep, eat and work.. I didn't even think of anything else. So even if I manage to get it past a week I shall be much too happy. Though I plan on seeing this one through as soon as I figure out exactly what to write about but I will open my mind and research and see what happens to pop into my mind....

well till next time!

Alice in wonderland/ just some other stuff

I absolutely loved the new Alice In Wonderland movie! I finally got to see it last night and I can say that it is definitly on my list of movies to get when it comes out on DVD! It is my favourite movie thus far that I have seen this year. I absolutely love this outfit on alice. Chester is still one of my favourite characters though! (insert wickedly wide grin here):D I loved how while watching the movie you really truly felt I could reach out and touch this imaginary world that I saw before me. I'm really enjoying this 3D movie experience.
I had seen avatar before this but it wasn't 3D :( so this is my first movie and I can say I am loving what they can do with it.

I know another movie that I am greatly looking forward to is Clash of the Titans. One because I want to see how well they stick to the original and 2. It is one of my boyfriend's favourite movies so I have told him that I would take him to see it. That will be a fun night.

And I have this stupid cold I cannot seem to shake at the moment but it will eventually go away. This I know.. and my jobless butt can get back out there and search for some more work again. I just feel that it doesn't look good when you go into an interview already sick. Well I definitly haven't just been sitting around the house all day either though. I have gotten the kitchen all cleaned up. It looks fabulously clean now. The living room I will be working on today.

I'm really digging Soldier of Love by Sade at the moment. It is a great song at the moment. :D

There is also a camera club meet tonight that I am thinking of going to because it might be interesting to go and meet other people who share this interest as well as see what it is all about.

Been awhile... Job searching yet again..

Yeah the title pretty much sums it up I guess. I will look at this as some new adventure awaiting to be partaken in. I am just glad that I got a chance to do a different job. Not a huge biggie. I know there is something else better out there for me. I just realized that I didn't really like the telemarketing field all that well anyway... Something better is out there for me that I know that I will like much better. I just have yet to find it yet.

At the moment I am going through my stories because I have decided that it is time to get something accomplished in that respective dream of mine that I know will never die. I have gotten a few poems published before but I want to get a book finished and start sending it out and trying to get it published :D

I never thought at 23 I would be just beginning a journey into my heart and soul but I think lately I have been once again. It's not a scary journey as I thought it would have been before. Despite being jobless every other aspect of my life is doing great thus far. I have a great boyfriend I love very much, a family that is strong and close, as well as some things I want to look into and try...

I will keep on trucking...tiny bumps won't stop this woman from reaching out and attaining her goals. :D

happy reading! Happy blogging! Whichever you prefer!

Getting a bit more creative!!

I have this really neat idea in my head, unfortunately I am not a good drawer. Though I am going to go out and get some supplies for this idea of mine and maybe see if any of my friends have an old sewing machine they don't use. (Or someone who is wanting to get rid of theirs). I will gladly take it off their hands as I will be teaching myself to sew since there doesn't seem to be any sewing classes in my city. This project will likely take alot of time but at least it will give me something to do other than sorting and cleaning which I feel I do almost as much but definitly not more than work.

Hmm.. Though I do have a deadline... Halloween this year at least. Haha like I said, we shall see where this one goes... and yes I have already been thinking about halloween already... I love to get dressed up! I wished there were more times of the year to do so... you know that everyone gets dressed up so that I wouldn't feel silly. LOL!

Hey who knows maybe if I get better at sewing I can start making much more than just a costume for halloween. Maybe I can get into making some clothes from scratch. That would actually be kinda cool. :D

Well I better get to bed, got some shopping to do tommorrow! Also need to get groceries and a few pairs of pants as my wardrobe is lacking at the moment... Also going to start Wii fit back up and maybe even pick up Wii fit plus while I'm out and about. I do want to try to keep fit and get into shape.

There is a dance lesson place sorta nearby-ish that I can probably go and see what kinda classes and prices. Just to see for now. Who knows if I will actually sign up right now because I am still unsure of yet where or how far this new job that has pretty much taken up most if not all my waking hours up so far except for every second weekend getting three days off in a row, that never seem to feel very long but at least I do get some time off from work and really good hours as well!

Well see ya!

AH finally finished a book!

Yes. I finally finished a book today. I have been reading The last Vampire by Christopher Pike. At only 193 pags it has taken me awhile. A month and a bit to be exact. It's definitly not because I am a slow reader but because I have only made time to read it when I am not busy getting ready for work or sharing the few moments of time between sleeping and working with friends and family. It was definitly an enjoyable read and I will try to find the next 4 books somewhere in my bins of stuff in the basement.

I am glad that I have finished the book because it is an accomplishment in itself. Although it would take me just one sitting of a few hours to have finished it usually. It's been awhile since I've read and I like the fact that I at least enjoyed the last third of the story in one final dose today. I mean it definitly is worth reading if you like these kinds of stories.

I mean I can think of a bunch of other books to read off the top of my head that I would love to read again even if I've read them 4 or 5 times already.

haha oh yeah and another book I am reading is called The Panther and The Pyramid by Bonnie Vanak... Now to tell you how I picked up this book. I was at Zellers and found the 4.99 best sellers book rack... Now I saw this read the spine that tells you what kind of book it is. I thought it said Leisure Historical suspense. I was in a hurry as I had to get to work which is right across the street from Zellers. Well when I got a chance to finally start reading it I realized that it actually said Leisure Historical Romance... no wonder all the books on the rack actually looked kind of romance-like but hey the front cover of this one didn't really hint it was going to be that type of book at all... Well I guess that's what happens when you're in a hurry. I definitly will read it all the way through...eventually...

Though I am probably bound to start another book or two, maybe even three if I get started into reading again majorly. It wasn't unusual for me to have 1-4 books on the go at any given time.

Haha kinda sounds like my writing as well... Is that a lack of focus or just widening my interests too much because they are usually never really the same type of stories..

Well let's see. I'm going to choose a story and stick with it. I just wonder if I should start this one from scratch or build upon one I've already had on the go?

Well till next time... hopefully sometime soon I will figure that one out and do it within the moments that are not spent on school, friends, boyfriend and family between the moments of sleep and work. :D

Let's hope so! I've got a many ideas to write about! :D

here goes something.

I know that at my age of 23 that I will never become the most flexible bendable person in the entire world but I do know that I would also like to be more fit and do something fun. I am thinking about looking into some kind of dance class because it would be nice to maybe be able to look forward to my days ahead where I am not so work work work work. It's taken over my mind already... but at least it will pay my share of the bills and possibly some of my small debt I collected while being jobless. I mean I know I definitly have to make sure I get out of debt...

So maybe dance class may be out of the question for the moment but maybe there are some aerobics or dance dvds out there I can check out to get myself started.

Oh yeah... If anyone has any ideas on either what to check out for dvd wise or advice on getting out of debt I would most certainly appreciate the advice.. I will even take advice on how to stay more positive in a job that has pretty much swept my life into a tiny pile and made it stay in that certain way...

I know this weekend will be filled with some excitement as my boyfriend and I are going to a coworker's birthday and my parents have asked us over for supper... I also know that tommorrow I will be going out for coffee with my father at some point or other before work so it will be nice.

I am also thinking that maybe no one is reading this or if they are... they are asking themselves why they are reading it!

Just a thought... maybe I'm right and no one really is reading this... but hey this is just a place for me to reach out I guess in a small way.

Gah! venting out.

Stupid next door neighbors! Gah! Not only do they burn shit that they are not supposed to be burning a few too many times but one of their three dogs runs rampant around the streets alot of the times.

I was going to go to the corner store and I was at the end of the driveway when I turned so that I could put my purse inside and just bring my debit card and ID just in case I wanted to get a scratch ticket (Not that I was really thinking of getting one. When I was coming back I had this funny feeling and the dog was running at me but stopped as soon as it knew I had seen it and started barking at me instead.

I have been attacked by a dog before. Don't think that I hate dogs. There are people I know who own dogs and I think their dogs are great and I love them alot.

My andrenaline is pumping and I really feel like yelling at them for not keeping their dog in check but I don't think anyone is home. I feel sorry for the dog being outside in the snow like this..

TODAY'S CRAFTS! :D

I was in a crafty mood this morning when I woke up and got a few things done. I had alot of fun doing these crafts and am excited to the possibilities that will pop up because they are boundless, at least for now. I've also browsed alot of pages on the web that are about different crafts. It is inspiration nonetheless to get me going again on things that I both enjoy and well I want to start reusing as well as reducing wasteage. It seems to be some kind of trend going on and no I don't think I am following it because others are doing it. I just want to create and I have so many different ideas in my head that just want to come out of me!

So here we go with my first project that I did today. I took two cylinder containers that used to hold some chocolate candies until they were eaten. yummy! and turned them into these



The lids were turned into magnets.


After that I took a cardboard box that used to hold icecream cones in it and cut and paste some pictures out of a magazine or two that I have kicking around collecting dust and thought I should put them to good use if they are not being read at all.

Finally snagged a job! YEAH!

Well I had a few more interviews after the last time I posted and finally snagged myself a job. I am very glad about that! I am intrigued as to how things will be. I just have to wait until I get called to set up a time for when I come back in for training now! I am fairly glad about that! I cannot wait to start. It is at a call centre so I guess I will find out if I am cut for the job but I am thinking that I may not be so bad at it after all either. Well I don't really have much to blog about at the moment.

Happy reading!

Or blogging. Whichever you prefer!

Job searching and Dimitra

Well things have been kinda weird lately. I have had a few bites and nibbles from my job search but no official catches yet. I daresay that I am glad that I have kept a reserve as well as some downtime to get my silly crap organized. Which reminds me I better get some more sorting and cleaning done as I will be able to take some things and get rid of them completely by donating them.

My father is picking me up tommorrow so we can bring my kitten Dimitra for her overnight stay at the Vets. Yes she is getting spayed. I feel so scared and nervous for her to be fixed. Now I do find that a little weird because I have not felt as strongly about this as I have with my other cats... Maybe because she is getting declawed as well. Personally I'm not for this really but she will be an inside cat living with my boyfriends cat whom she likes to taunt and attack alot. Kittens will be kittens though. However they may be.

I guess I am just really overprotective of her.

Little snippet...

Sometimes things happen for a reason, well I am not upset or too worried about not having a job only because soon enough I will have a job.

Downtime to play World of Warcraft.

Well I don't think I got the job, have not heard back from them and they did not give out a number to call at the interview either. Still looking for a job and still going to keep on sorting/cleaning up some things... Right now though I feel like eating some yogurt and playing some World of Warcraft.

Tommorrow is a new day. I will get back to everything that I have planned to get acheived in the near future... well tommorrow hopefully going to finish up a few things I really wanted to get done today... Just need a little down time that is all then I can get back to doing what I need to get done.

Well off I go... gotta get a level 80 as well before the time runs out which as of yesterday I got a new time card thanks to my loving boyfriend. I think he loves me and also wants to keep my out of his hair, LOL!

Interview today.

This is going to be a very quick post as I have to finish getting ready to go for my interview at 2. I am hoping that this interview goes great. Wish me luck! I am hopeful!

My muse; music

So I have decided that since I have done some applying at some jobs already today that I would make a quick stop here to post something. I have decided that since I write a lot that I would post a poem that I have written a while ago. November 22, 2007 to be exact. I hope that you enjoy this and it is my own written work...


My muse; music

This inspiration I have found in music
Lifts my soul to higher places
And I feel I can do anything,
even the most impossible.
All my feelings already felt
I don't feel so alone anymore.
'Cuz someone has felt what I've felt
Have made their emotions known
Even their deepest of insecurities.
My own words flow more easily
Whatever I write is just emotional release
I find myself entranced in it,
In a different place where I do not fear
'Cuz it don't matter about what the world thinks
It's my blanket when everything else fails.
