Official, Maybe?

Basically, what I'm trying to say is, I don't believe Reuben has the slightest clue what he's talking about.

[edit: I think it's safe to say that you can get rid of the maybe, heheh...]

NICE

I'm finally back in shape enough to actually regularly contribute in Ultimate! YES!! It's like Andrew transferred all his kickass mojo to me when he left early... but let me tell you, Andrew was truly kickass for the few points he was on!

Ahh, July... it's gonna be awesome... finally good at Ultimate, work is comfortable, VBS in mid july, and camp meeting right at the end! SWEEEET!

I find it rather hilarious how the one year I'm actually working full time is the year I finally go for the whole week, hahaha... and yes Valen, it's gonna be AWESOME!

Awesome like how I was playing Ultimate today! YES! Sooo awesome!


...although, my friend's car got broken into, so that kinda killed the mood a little... we were all, wtf?! Heh... but yeah, insurance and police, it's all good. Or, rather, not the end of the world. Heh.

Oh yeah, and we finally won another game! YEAH! Although it was ridiculously close, and we almost lost it at the end... well, the first game we lost something like 13-11, while we barely won the 2nd game 11-10. We were up 10-7, hardcap at 11, so I'm like, wow we should actually win this game! ...and then they scored. And then scored again. And AGAIN. Holy crap, tied at 10 each was frickin' annoying, being up by 3, needing only 1 point... but yeah, we pulled through in the end, so it's all good. Heheh.

YEAH! Ultimate kicks so much ass...

Until next time, I guess...

Fistful

I was hoping to find a fistful of nostalgia. Instead, I found a fistful of harsh realities.

Not one, but two stores of my youth have closed for good.

Walking home, the thunderstorm started up. Perfect.

This has been an incredibly depressing weekend. I can't believe that I'm actually looking FORWARD to going back to work.

...

Funny thing is, I'm in a rather depressive state at the moment, and it's blinding me of the awesome parts of the weekend.

Like my little cousins who I haven't seen in three years. Pictures will soon be up on facebook, whenever my sisters get around to uploading the pics.

...

lol, about 5 minutes after I get home from my rather depressing walk around my highschool neighbourhood, it starts POURING. Just missing the superrain, that's gotta be a plus...

Heheh, and it was so sunny when I went out...

...

Decisions, Decisions...

I've made some pretty stupid decisions recently.

Today was probably the worse.

And I'm not talking about White... I mean, has anyone even heard of the guy??

It's WAY too late right now to blog.

STUPID FUCKING HAIRCUT!!!

It's the exact OPPOSITE of what I asked for!

Long on the sides, short in the front/top. WHAT THE FUCK!

I always fucking cave to the fucking stylists... I haven't had a decent haircut in FOREVER... FUCK!

That's what I get for listening to a woman with painted-on eyebrows... I mean, what the fuck does she know about good fashion, with painted-on fucking eyebrows. DAMMIT!! I never notice these things until too-fucking-late...

And what the fuck, since when did "thinned out" become "textured" anyways?? I was like, "cool, textured... I wonder what that mea..... FUCK." I LIKE my hair thick...

And I told her explicitly, keep the length, I like it long, yadda yadda... then she goes "oh, maybe it should be a little shorter, it'll look better. I'll make you look good!", so I'm like, okay... then she cuts it... SSSSHHHHIIIIIIITTTTT.... FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK.... NOT AGAIN.... TOO FUCKING SHORT!!

I need to fucking grow a pair and be more assertive. fucking hell...

Maybe I just need to have a guy cut my hair, someone who'll actually listen to what I say and not suggest his own fucking recommendations.

Or maybe I should stop whining about a haircut that might actually look nice to other people.

...but as soon as I start to think that, I remember how they fucking shafted me with their 50% off coupon thing, which actually meant "buy something and get the next thing half off", which means that I spent twice as much for that crappy fucking haircut... and then I get all pissed off again. DAMMIT! Such a waste of my fucking money...

But whatever. It's hair. It'll grow back. And it usually grows out alright anyways. So I'll see how I feel next week. Who knows, maybe it'll end up looking half decent.

But I doubt it.

I mean... FUCK! Why can't I get a simple fucking haircut! DAMMIT!!

This is really pissing me off!!!

I gotta stop blogging, it's only making it worse...

Ah, School Once Again...

But first of, I'm at work. In the library's computer. Heh, yay non-blocked internet...

I'm here because 1) I had to do some work needing the internet, and 2) I needed to register for my classes at 8:45am today. Mainly the latter though...

Last night I was completely enamoured by my ability to download larger videos, and got sucked into the world of tvlinks. And I completely forgot to organize my registration, heheh oops...

But no matter, today's registration went off with relatively little hitch, especially considering that I'm assuming I'll still be working in the fall. Super awesome. So, I'll just give out my term 2 schedule:

...on second thought I'll do that once I get home. I GUESS this classifies as my break... but, I've been registering for an hour or so... ...

It's nice to work for government. Heheh.

I GOTS ME THE INTERNETS!!!

So I finally got around to getting actual internet.

AWESOME.

Hopefully this'll make me sleep EARLIER, and not later... you know, not have to sit around every 5 minutes to reconnect to the internet and what not... etc etc...

But I'm gonna stop before I ramble on about this. SO COOL!

First order of business: checking my bank account and paying my bills! Yay...

***

Christina once told me that the threshold into adulthood is starting to pay the bills.

Lol, I'm an adult...

[although, as a disclaimer, my mom still does my laundry... gonna milk that for as long as I can endure!]

***

Taryn and Mikaela (and Charlize) are here! Cool, can't wait to see 'em on Friday! Man, they must've grown like crazy since I last saw 'em... goodness...

They love me, lol. They just got here, and they're already asking when they'll get to see me next. Haha, kids love me...

***

I stay up too late. And forget to publish the stupid post. Heh.

Friends

Hanging out w/ the guys, AWESOME.

We must do this more often.

Reasons / Some Things Change (or Not)

I don't like going back into Richmond.

I've forgone an all you can eat brunch w/ my uncle and cousins for the potential father's day brunch at DeDutch.

Shit happened, and now I'm not doing either.

Living on my own is nice and all, but I think I might have to actually move farther away than Vancouver. Stupid family...

Edit:

Alright, so I blogged too soon. We eventually went to Dedutch, and it was pretty good. Super expensive, but pretty good.

When the toilet overflowed this morning, pretty much all hell broke loose for about an hour. That was not fun. And yes, I WAS alluding to the toilet overflowing.

After Dedutch, I took Shaylene to lansdowne and bought her a Giants jersey at Collector's Den. Pretty cool.

Also, after parusing Collector's Den for a while, I saw dem Magic cards again. At first, I was all, argh, summertime, but don't wanna get into it again... but sooo expensive..... ...GWAHH?? Four bucks?? 11 for a deck?? HOLYCRAP, SOO CHEAP NOW!! It's, like, over 50% off what it used to cost to buy the damn cards! Freakin' eh!

And then I caved and bought 150 cards for under 30 bucks. Heheh...

I guess some things change, and other's stay exactly the same.

Oh, and when I got back, I found the hundreds of other magic cards tucked away in the garage... MAN, I have a lot of 'em... I miss those days when I actually played the game, with my cousins, with Kris etc... my goodness, it's been a decade...

I'M OLD... wow...

Heheh, pokemon cards... pokemon was so fun...

NOSTALGIA OVERLOAD. Must stop blogging...

***

I still think I might have to move farther away though... or, at least, not come back every weekend... but we'll see.

Until next time, I guess...

NO MORE GAMING

I just spent the better portion of the past 3 or 4 hours playing Civ IV.

I can think of over a dozen other things I could've done in that time.

In hindsight, most of those things would've made me happier than playing that stupid game.

From now on, whenever I get bored, NO VIDEO GAMES. More, say, guitar... or, say, GOING OUTSIDE AND ACTUALLY MAKING USE OF LIVING IN ARGUABLY THE BEST PART OF VANCOUVER.

Not that it matters all that much, I'll be getting proper internet within a week anyways. I'm sure to find a plethora of ways to kill my time besides gaming... perhaps I'll get back into my youtube-hounding ways again...

Or, you know, tvlinks...

Until next time, I guess...

Random Quips

Didn't pass through campus idol. I was soo ripped off. Prejudice against co-ops, I assume. I mean, if a co-op won campus idol... that wouldn't be cool... I guess...

I'll have proper internets by tuesday. SWEEET. With an extra E.

What's the deal with my brain, why am I so obviously insane?

I register for classes a week thursday. At 8:45am. I start work at 8. I don't know how this'll happen... I've already missed a crapload of work as it is... perhaps I should just do it once I get home... or, get one of my sisters to do it??

Considering that I don't even know if I'll take my next co-op term in the fall or the spring (i.e. winter), I don't even know if I should bother taking these classes... I haven't even checked to see what I want... jeez, last year, I kept fiddling and fiddling... right up until the last minute, when all the spots were full right before I signed on, and had to tinker like mad just to get my classes... and ended up with pure crap on a stick... but no matter. This year will be different. All morning classes. And I'll STILL wake up later than I'm waking up now, haha...

My little quips are starting to become rants. And I was doing so well with the uber-summaries... oh well... time for bed...

Heheh, cool...

Today was campus idol. I got laughs from the crowd (as I explained I was a co-op, so even if I get horribly embarrassed... no big deal... heheh...). That was unexpectedly cool.

I played crossroads again. Apparently I have amazing tone, according to one of the judges... the one who actually sings... heheh, cool...

People kept telling me how great I was. Like, random employees. Sweetness.

And it's amazing how different my attitude is with all this confidence. I mean, today on the bus, I think a girl was checking me out... a cute girl, to boot, heheh... one of those, she's looking at me, I glance towards her, she darts her eyes away... lol...

I've said this before, but if I was all depressed-like, I'd probably be all, man she's looking at me funny, I must look weird... but no, not today! WOO CONFIDENCE!!

Carrying a guitar on the bus is awesome... at least, for today... heheh...

But yeah, point is, today was frickin' awesome. I mean, boring training session, and work was work, sure... but free breakfast, and tons of compliments (I have great tone!), soooo awesome.

And now it's time for a nap.

Awesomeness

If you guys haven't found this already, check it out:

Pretty sweet.

***

Tomorrow's Campus Idol at my work. I'm participating, lol.

Crossroads once again. Hopefully better than cafe night, but w/o that crazy keyboard in the background, I don't know...

***

Congrats Shaylene on graduating grade 12 [holy crap I feel old!], congrats to everyone else graduating whatever (as I know there's a bunch of you), and congrats to whatever else needs congratulating!

That should just about cover it.

My goals this week:

1) Sleep before 10pm every night. Wake up before 6am everyday. Eat breakfast.
2) Make lunch. Make dinner. DON'T BUY EXPENSIVE FOOD.
3) Phone telus, get freaking internet!
4) Go and watch Blades of Steel and Shooter at Hollywood (at odds w/ #1)
5) Go to the beach when sunny.
6) Read.
7) Play the guitar again. Play the bass again. Put more stuff on youtube.
8) Hang out with people.
9) Hang out with YOU.

and finally...

10) Figure out some things. One friend says one thing, and another says something else. One has (ALOT) less experience, and one has (somewhat) more. Obviously one is an idiot. Or perhaps I'm the idiot for continuing to listen to his/her advice, especially since it's never helped in the past...

But that's enough cryptic mumbo jumbo for one night.

Sleep time.

Granville Island

That is where I'm going on Sunday

Would anybody like to come along??

Ultimate

So much fun to play. Especially when I get my legs back. Woo to being able to sprint again!

Finally won a game! Wooo!

Ruana came (as we needed more females), and she ends up knowing a bunch of players from highschool, haha. Awesome. Small world and what not.

Me so tired...

Reign Over Me

BEST MOVIE I'VE SEEN SINCE ETERNAL SUNSHINE.

So friggin' awesome I watched it twice in the past three days at Hollywood.

So who wants to go see it w/ me on wednesday? Or thursday, perhaps?? Haha...

IT'S SNOWING

And that sucks.

Stupid weird puff balls...
