A final post.

Well, I've decided that I'm pretty much done with this blog. I don't think I really have any readers anymore, and I have several other blogs that I've been updating pretty much daily for almost a year now, plus I've got a lot of followers on one of them, it's pretty cool. For some reason I always forget about this one haha. So I guess I'll say farewell!

And remember guys,
art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere.

(If you don't get that, don't feel to bad... most people who weren't given the philosophical gene don't catch on to it ;).. ciao)

Big news <3

Yep, that's right. I actually have things to tell you all about for once! Let's start with the big news:

I came out to my family about being gay. I was tired of lying to my family and friends, and knew that it was time to just tell them. I'm so happy that I have a loving family. They may not like it or plan to support it, but I'm their daughter and they love me just the same, and that's more than good enough for me! So yes, for those of you who don't know or haven't heard, I'm gay.

-- and no it wasn't a recent realization either, I've known since I was about 12 years old --

I also got my labret pierced (the middle of the bottom lip) and it looks pretty snazzy! I also got transferred to my new house, so not only do I have a MUCH less demanding schedule, I also have no more night shifts, and work in a more laid back setting as the guys here are independent and don't require medication. I'm already loving it!

On other news... I'm living on Juniper at the moment because I'm watching a friend's house while she's on vacation, and her cat hates me! One is all loving and cuddly, but the other one yowls whenever I walk into the room and hisses! It stalks me! It's like a demon-kitty!

I also found out that she has a frog. I keep forgetting about the stupid little thing, good thing I found it though or it would've starved lol.

Anyway, there's my update! Love you guys!

So here I am..

So I'm currently working my second last set of night shifts! I'm so happy, not because I'm sitting here bleary eyed and wishing I was holding a pillow instead of a broom, but because there's only two more sets to go and I'm finito with nights! This is reason to celebrate!

Anyway, thought I'd give a little update on the ever-so exciting happenings of Bethany!

Yeah, there's nothing exciting.

Bye guys!




Just kidding! I had a pretty fun wipeout with my longboard at an intersection today, I hit some sand that had collected on the road and the board sort of skidded, and normally I can just keep going, but because I was bent out into a turn I ended up crashing and rolling... and almost hitting a truck! Oh my! Luckily no fenders became benders due to my body being crushed, so life goes on..

In about 2 weeks I switch over to my new house, which I'm incredibly excited about!!! The 3 guys that live there are sweet hearts, honestly I adore them, and they're a lot more independent (jobs, no meds, girlfriends, etc) so it'll be a little bit less of a constant push on my patience button. And I get along really well with the manager there too, he's cool, does tattoos, local artist, and the size of a house... but whatever. He thinks he's gonna make me cry, and while I acted tough and said he wouldn't, we all know I probably will. "What, you want me to COOK? *burst into tears*"

Anyhow, I'm also going to be posting something that will be long, sort of intense to read, and probably difficult for you girls to understand pretty soon. It'll be a big shock, but honestly, I just need to get it off my chest. But I'm talking to my family about it first, as I owe it to them.

Much love!

About Micheal Jackson, Broken Beer Bottles, and the Thriller Dance..

knSo I want to start off by apologizing about sucking so much at keeping this puppy updated... my bad!

Anyway, can you believe he finally kicked the bucket? Ok, I mean I know Micheal Jackson wasn't everyone's favorite person.. let's face it, he hasn't been this stiff since that little boy came to visit (if ya know what I mean heh) but man... he was an INCREDIBLE performer! He paved the way for EVERYONE! Justin Timberlake, Usher, even friggin Christina Aguilera! Not to mention his wacky crazy awesome dancing... I will never stop trying to learn the moonwalk, blisters and sprained toes be damned! I miss him already, but eh... everyone has to go right?

Anyway, I have this giant gash on the bottom of my foot... it hurts, and it's gross looking, and as per usual it's all my fault that I have it in an ironic sort of way. The other day I noticed a smashed bottle on the road, and figured I should move it so no one ruins their tires with the glass, I tossed the big old pieces onto the grass and thought nothing of it. And then last night, coming to work, I stepped on it..

I was wearing my favorite sneakers, those ones I got in gr.10 that are ripped and ragged and occasionally glow an eerie greenish color (they should do a tribute to them on the Twilight Zone show, seriously, they were some pretty nasty sneakers) but I loved them with all my heart. Unfortunately they're so old and icky that the giant piece of beer bottle I stepped on went through them and into my foot, a full inch into my foot, and a full 3 inches wide. I love life, really.

So now one sneaker is fully stained with blood, I'm walking with a limp -GANGSTA!- and my beloved shoes are in the trash for all eternity. :( all this because I'm a thoughtful person. Eff my life.

So yeah, that's my traumatic experience for the day.

I got bored last night at work and learned the thriller dance, friggen awesome! It was so much fun, even with a bloody limping foot haha. AND I've finally mastered hills on the long board, it was hard because the thing goes so fast, but I now rule Thompson! Random people tell me they see me around town, and I've been nicknamed the "skater chick" by Robins Donuts and some other people I don't ever know or talk to... gotta love it.

Anyway that's about it for now!

Ooooh wait! I got my bedroom set in, and I have to assemble it all myself, and apparently I suck, because it looks like frankenstein and pinnochio had a baby. So here's to hoping I can figure that out, or I'll have several nails to the bum after my first week sleeping on it!!

Love ya!

Hello Hello

I have this awesome song by Eve 6 stuck in my head, it's called "Here's to the nights", if you haven't listened to it, I highly suggest you do ladies (and gentlemen.. though I'm not sure if I have any manly followers..) it's a super amazing song about friendship and the "good old days of highschool hangouts".

Anyway.. oh gross Backstreet Boys is playing on the tv, how awful! Anyway, I figured I'd give a little update, though I have virtually nothing to update about!

I bought my longboard (lots of cheering please), it's essentially a long skateboard. I decided the first thing I was going to do is take it down a big hill.... HUGE mistake. I didn't realize how fast the bloody things go and nearly killed myself. However I've now mastered it. On the second day I had it though I took it to work, and while I was on the street of the house I work at, I totally wiped out haha... I sprained my ankle, got a concussion, and wrecked my right hand lol. It was awesome. Of course I was back on it a few minutes later and happy as can be lol.

Other than that I've worked.. and am planning a fun trip at the end of the month with Josh, in which we're going to a gay bar because they have the best dance music and dance floors, and clearly that's why we're hitting up the bars in the first place!

However, my supervisor just walked in so I'm signing off.

Ciao!

The long awaited post (no, I haven't forgotten about you)

So, I put off posting for 4 main reasons;
Firstly, I was in the middle of ending the short lived relationship with Evan. The ending to our lovely little tale of confusion and awkward hang outs was due to the second reason I haven't posted..

I'm in the middle of moving plans! Yes, I'm finally up and leaving the sad little town of Thompson. I'm moving to Winnipeg in January with a friend, our pets love eachother, we adore eachother, and it's going to be awesome. We have enough of the same friends that we'll have amicable hang out times, but enough of other friends we'll still have alone time and space. Love it!

Also, now that it's warming up, my social life has flared to life once more. No longer do I sit in bed and read all day like a hermit, now I sit in bed and read all day... but take breaks to see people!

Lastly, Bella had to go to the vet to be declawed and spayed and get her shots, and she was a sad little pile of whimpering sore fur with tender tootsies, who I doted on and carried around wherever she wanted to go. It was harder than I anticipated, because I don't speak kitten, so her directions took a while to get across... after a while I figured out the pattern though: "Carry me to my food. Carry me to my sitting spot, and carry me to my litter box. Now back to the second sitting spot, onto your bed, then back to the food." I'm a wonderful mother!

So... other than that there's next to nothing new. Oh I bought a fish, it's red and I named it Moo! He's on my bedside table, and I quite like him, he stares at me :)

So there you have it, the not so interesting encounters of the month of May, enjoy!

I haven't updated in over a month? Time flies!

So... as most of you have figured out by now, I somehow managed to get busy enough to entirely forget to post on here! What a sin, I'm sorry guys, haha. To all my little buddies now finishing with school and thinking of coming home... I'm so excited to see you! To a specific little buddy thinking of skipping the coming home thing, I hope you have a great time travelling, but if I don't get my arms around you at least ONCE this summer, I'll be a tad sniffly!

Anyway, onto other matters! Nothing much has happened, haha. Honestly... I did some fun things over the last few months, pierced my lip (then promptly took it out when I was constantly mistaken for a lesbian.. seriously, I'm not kidding. Short hair and a lip piercing now equal a person's sexual identity... go figure.), did a lot of work, got my kitten (who's getting her shots, spayed, and de-clawed all at once this month, poor baby :(...) who lives in snow lake until I'm in a place where pets are allowed, did some more work (less night shifts! Hurray!), befriended my friend's daughter who now stalks my every move and doesn't let me have coffee with said friend.. Instead I'm forced to be Princess Sparkle the mermaid pirate. Because of this I almost commited suicide and a mass murder (just kidding, but seriously, princess sparkle?! I agree with you Claire, kids are just plain creepy).

I'm currently seeing someone (yes... I know, first in a LOOOONG time). I really enjoyed taking a break from guys and hookups and relationships. I sort of stumbled into this one, but it's going very slowly -he understands my work schedule is pretty demanding- and there's virtually no pressure. I like it! He's making me dinner tonight before my night shift, which I think is super sweet, as I certainly can't do it for him haha, not if I want him around later! He has a giant horse of a dog that likes to trade her slobber ball for whatever snack I have in my hands (and thinks it's a fair trade too, psh!), and we've been having a great time. It's still pretty fresh though, so while I wouldn't say we're "dating" or "in a relationship" we're definitely seeing eachother.

I started a new book, as my old one was deleted by some terrible monster with no heart (and no eyes if I ever get my hands on them :)..) and it's been keeping me busy in my downtime.

This summer will be my summer of opportunity, that's right, I labelled my summer. After such a boring year, I've decided to try a whole wack-load of new things this summer.. who knows what'll happen. High heels, oil painting, a tattoo, and naked cliff jumping are definitely on the list! But we'll see where it goes, lol.

Anyway, I have a client who's currently getting rather angry that I haven't made the morning coffee yet... and because she's stronger than me, I think I should go make it or risk having my pretty little bottom beat, lol. Miss you guys!
