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!
Beth

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!
