And the worst part was, it was a new release! Cindy Crawford has been smoking something or other, because it looked like it belonged in the trailer of a tye-dyed hippie! It was disgusting! However, near bye was a very cute and stylish little cozy leather plush chair. It was brown and slightly distressed looking and had little studs, I fell in love and have decided to get something similar when I get my apartment!
I still can't believe I'm getting an apartment. Finally, my own home. Lol, it's going to be amazing, and I'm going to be so weirded out... but still, it's going to rock. I can have my own little parties, and have my own little liquor cabinet where things can gather dust, but still look classy! I'm so excited, seriously.
I'm in the middle of my night shift, again. It's when I usually get this sort of stuff done. Updates and what-not. I love it here, I'm staying another year and a half for sure just to work at this job. Because I realised that if ever I left, I'd regret it. That's right, if I went to Briercrest *place of happiness and joy!* I'd miss this place even more. That's saying something darlings!
I've been learning how to cook! I helped make quiche the other day, and have made rice, and although I was always good at making salads, now I make them even better! This morning I'll be making the guys "bacon and eggers" which should be interesting, and hopefully a good kind of interesting!
Unfortunately I don't have any exciting updates, I've been working since last wednesday and until this coming wednesday I don't have a day off, and on my day off I'm running around looking for an apartment, lol... and then I go back to work again for another week. Tiring, but oh so good. Like sex, well, I don't know, but I'm guessing.
Anyhow, I love you all!

"You are the cheese to my macaroni"
Isn't that a cute line? And cheesy, haha.
So I'm working my first ever night shift. So far it's completely uneventful. I've watched a re-run of Gerard Butler on a talk show - goodness he's a good looking fellow - and done some sweepind, mopping, and general note taking on Connie's oxygen mask wearing. Knucke busting, I know. So I'm trying to keep myself busy, therefore making the night go a bit faster and I wont get as sleepy! Mind you, I've downed an extra-large and a large double double from Tims in the first hour here, and am still riding the high!
I love this job. I'm going to talk about it for a bit. I'm a support worker at the main residence home. It's the only one with 24/hour "care and supervision". I basically come here, say Hi to everyone and get a couple of hugs - life is awesome - and help make supper *aka leave the room so no one gets hurt* and spend the evening with the 8 people living in the house. We go for coffee, there's bowling night, there's Friday night movies... and a lot of laughing. I mean, yes people have tantrums and throw fits, yes there's drama - hello, it's a house full of women! - and yes, I have to learn how to give a needle and I do bloodwork a couple of times during an evening shift. But I love this place. I don't want to leave, lol... I've found something that I can't get enough of, despite how much it can leave you wanting a completely silent room for an hour afterwards, haha.
I miss being able to write papers. So I have this fun idea... you guys, being the wonderful friends you are, should give me a cool topic, and I'll write a mini paper on it! That way I'll have something to do to keep me from watching movies and getting obese... and I can have voluntary writing practice any time I feel like it! Because sitting down and writing stories, as much as I loooove it and want to do it forever, can get a tad boring. So yeah. Nothing ridiculous though, I mean, something cool. Like the Nephilim. I did an entire paper from biblical times through until today on how Nephilim could have created the original giants that still walk on our ever-depleting planet! And then woke up to realise that it didn't apply and quickly wrote something about how Christ's death was necessary.
I think someone is on the stairs. I need to go chase them back to their room!
False alarm. Anyway... I also hope to get my tattoo by Christmas. I've decided that if I keep overthinking it, I'm never going to do it. And what the hell, I like spontaneity, and don't do it much lately. Other than the nose piercing - which is currently infected and causing me pain -. I also tried Buckleys for the first time today. And because I've seen so many commercials of the faces people make, I stole Nicole's camera and set it up so I could see if I made a face. A) the medicine itself looks like thick but runny poop. B) You put it in your mouth and half this half second of "wow, it's not that bad" then WHAM-O you're down for the count. That stuff is GROSS! But yeah, needless to say I loved watching my face... as I pretty much choked!
Anyway, I love you all.
G'morning,

Secondhand Serenade::
I found this great acoustic singer today, he goes under the name Secondhand Serenade, and his stuff is super pretty. I also watched Surf's Up, and thought it was ridiculous, but there was this cute little penguin who called a bigger one a "dirty trashbag full of poop", and it was amazing.
Anyway... my life! I was right, Shakespeare (he totally didn't deserve to be called Shakespeare, that would require being capable of reading and writing, lol, ok I'm being mean) called to break up with me, but it's alright. I'm guessing that as it didn't take me long to get over him, it's a sign that he was a pretty shoddy guy to begin with! Besides, he had a horrible way of smelling awful a lot, lol, and I'm a fan of hygiene.. clearly it wouldn't have worked out.
I'm working full time at the Juniper Center, and love every minute of it. The people, the coffee runs, the workers... it's just amazing. And the pay doesn't hurt either, lol. I never stop laughing when I'm at work, and I get paid to go sit in coffee shops or go bowling! Don't get me wrong though, there are tougher parts to the job, they are just the parts I can't talk about as there is a confidentiality thing.
I started another little story - I know, ANOTHER one.. ugh. - called Mr. Buttons. It's a short story though, maybe 5-8 pages, and it wont be super fictional, it's going to be non-fiction. I like it so far, lol. Maybe I'll put it on here when I'm finished, if anyone's interested and promises not to sell it off for cash. Just kidding... ish. Has anyone ever listened to bubbletoes by Jack Johnson? If not, do it, it's awesome.
I'm sort of all over the place right now... and cleaning my room, this was my "before I do the last thing so I can leave and feel like I've done something today other than stay in bed" procrastination! I feel horrible for waiting like 2 weeks to update.
Loooove you all!
PS: I'm for sure not going to school next year, and whether it's straight out of Canada or walking and getting an apartment with Elisha for a bit to pay for getting straight out of Canada, I don't know yet, but you guys will when I do!
