Traitor
I am such a traitor...
I have switched over to *gasp*
Firefox.
Hangs head in shame...
I love my safari. I really do...
but I get all the "advanced editing" screens now, like in hotmail, our youth blog, and this one.
How can I resist?

Old Blog #2 from October 11
So yesterday Kelly Ripa was telling me...
Oh most wonderful moment ever.
Emailing people is an interesting thing... its a safe way to connect. It puts you at just enough distance to not feel threatened and to not feel the emotions that surround everything.
We reveal more than in person.
There is a trust in the blank screen that does not match the trust in another's eyes.

Old Blog From October 1st
Some great moments from the other night:
My favorite thing about the Backstreet Boys is their Power Tools.
Abe Lincoln's statue in New Orleans in the main event at Mardi Gras. He wears the beads and they yell "show us your chest Abe, show us your chest!"
I know this makes no sense to anyone. But oh so funny to me.

Romancing the Song
I don't love a song right automatically. It has to romance me first. We have to get to know each other, meet a few times, and let the relationship naturally bloom. Once I decide to get involved, I commit fully. Never ask me to tell you I love a song I've just heard for the first time. My distrust of love at first listen is almost as intense as my distrust of love at first sight.
At least music can't break your heart.

Regrets?
So I had a moment on the bus today. Well a few moments actually.
I haven't taken public transit since I started driving, so for about a year. I don't have a negative attitude towards it, I just did not need it. I had to take the bus to MacEwan today for new student orientation. Which I'm totally fine with. However I am not totally fine with my first bus trip involving a nose picker. Of course just my luck I had a nose picker directly in my line of view. Not just a subtle nose picker either. A picker and examiner. I love starting the day off with a good dose of noses. *insert wretching and gagging noises here*
But on the second bus things got better. No nose pickers.
However I did go almost right by Vanguard. This is not an unusual occurence. I go by it everytime I go to work. However there was something distinctly... sad about going past Vanguard whilst going to another school.
I in no way regret my decision. I feel very good about it. A small part of me is sad, dissapointed, nostaligic. I will miss many people. I will miss Thursday chapels. And the occasional Tuesday chapel. I will miss our weekend trips. I will miss the crazy CMC's and HMSers.
A part of me is sad, I guess its a part of me that is in mourning. I was so happy to leave that I didn't think about what I would be leaving behind.
Yet I look towards the future and am filled with so much excitement. New classes, new people, new friends, new experiences, new directions. I feel as though I am finally taking that big step into the real world. I'm picking a path and going down it. And a wicked awesome path it is. I mean I get to take Swahili for goodness sakes!
Swahili!

Reunion
Its been a while.
Like always I leave my blog for a good chunk of time, begin to miss it and then come back.
A lot has changed in the last few months. Especially me.
But enough of the deep stuff.

A blogger's mind.
I often think of things i want to blog. The little oddities of life that I think others might enjoy reading.
However just as often I forget them.
But I've remembered this.
The playground by my house has a huge fence around it.
Now this sounds normal. Its not just a fence.
Its a big portable fence that the City has placed around the entire playground.
There is no way in. There is no way out.
There is no fun had at this playground.
Its a very big statement against childhood enjoyment of swings, slides and monkeybars.
NO FUN TO BE HAD HERE.
If I can remember I'll get a picture of it.
And its really just a fence so that they can do construction without anyone getting hurt.
But it seems like an antiplay statement.
Maybe my blogger mind is a little crazy...

Bleh
I am feeling like life sucks. Pretty much.
I have a growing dislike for my job. Thankfully I have an interview for a better job on Monday. My job isn't horrible, I'm just not cut out for sales.
I have sat at home nearly every night for the last 2 weeks. Its brutal. I stronly dislike it.
I have seen friends rarely in the last couple weeks. Like 3 or 4 times. Therefore my world consists of my parents and my dog. Oh the joys.
I am bored. I am lonely. I am fed up. I am directionless. I am in a bad mood.
And I am venting it here.

Summer
I can't say I'm overly fond of four months of summer.
It seems way too long.
Although one month has gone by too fast already.
I feel detached from life. Like it could just go on and leave me behind.
And I probably wouldn't notice.
ps. Breakfast was mucho fun. good idea erin.

Left, Right, Up or Down?
There are so many decisions to make in life. And so many of them are hard.
Growing up is a lot harder than they tell you.
Erin and I had some great adventures the other night. Read her blog to find out more!
But in regards to life decisions... there are a few I've made I'm feeling good about.
I had a conversation today that made me feel more settled about some things that had been pressing on my mind.
I feel good about that. This is the first time since modular week I've felt good about the situation. That was back in February.
TONY AND LENA CAME HOME YESTERDAY!
and only by the grace of God was I able to make it to the airport to see them get back. Originally their flight was coming in at 12. I was working 10-2. I found out later that they missed their flight and were getting in at 1:45. I was also getting off work at 1. So i made it to the airport like 10 minutes late. But I was there.
THEY'RE HOME!
Well I guess I shoud go back to making important life decisions.
word of wisdom for today. Don't grow up too fast...

Pedestrians
Sometimes pedestrians do really stupid things.
Like walk into the middle of traffic expecting people to stop.
Sometimes they walk really slowly through crosswalks.
I've seen people walk half way through a crosswalk and turn back around.
I know I've done stupid things as a pedestrian.
Which will remain unnamed... ahem running across the 6 lane road in Kelowna every year.
But today was the first time I had to stop for a pigeon.
He looked like he wanted to cross.
And I wasn't sure if he was going to.
It was very unnerving.
A pigeon in a mall parking lot crosswalk.

Stayin Out Late
Why is it so easy to stay up late to hang out with friends and have fun when its so hard to stay up late to do homework?
On a positive sidenote:
I seem to have less of a curfew right now. Soon enough I'll have none! Woohoo!
