Today my plans are to do nothing but sit in front of my television, yay! Tonight the season finale of The Hills is on, which should be tres interesting. I'm already for next season because of some photos that a friend recently should me. Kristin chilling with Brody & crew. And also with the one and only Stacey, ha. I also recently read that Stacey is dating Frankie, wtf? SO ya, I'm excited. ALSO tonight the moment that every Twilight fan has waited for. They're going to show the trailer for New Moon sometime either before or during the MTV awards!! With these reasons I shall be glued in front of the TV. I have no recent updates, still no word from the Keg. But then again it's only been less than a week.

P.S. Anyone who tricks their little sister to believe that they're a superhero is just plain evil.

Well today is a pretty blahh day. Outside looks so depresso and not inviting and I have absolutely nothing to do today. Yesterday my interview at The Keg went really well. But before I went to the interview I was browsing around in Winners and I happened to pass by a mirror. And I found out that all the moisture and humidity from outside made my hair frizz up. This was 15min before the interview. Major hair emergency. Luckily I had a hair tie in my bag and was able to pull my hair back, or else I would've looked like a monster. Once I fixed my hair I headed over to the place. I've never actually been inside the restaurant, so when I went in yesterday I was like "woahhh". It's a really nice place. They have all these comfy booths that are curved so you have privacy. It's not like other places where you look beside you and you can see someone eating on the other side of the restaurant. So *hint hint* to any guys that want to take a girl on a date, I recommend the Keg. But yea, the manager that I talked to was nice and actually talkative, so there was no awkwardness at all, thank god. So now I just have to sit and wait to see if I hear back from them. In other news, my cat had surgery to be spayed. So hopefully she gets better soon!

Sometimes it's so...
Sometimes it feels like...
Sometimes I'm...
Sometimes I can...
Sometimes I overreact.

Oh em gee take me away now. Being in my house all day, almost everyday has made me get the strongest case of wanderlust. I had it during the school year and now its stronger than before. I wanna go somewhere. Anywhere. Everywhere. Montreal. Niagara. Cuba. Paris. Cali. Dominican. Greece. Spain. *sigh* Other than that, on the job hunting topic I'm going to an open interview at The Keg tomorrow. Wish me luck! I'm kind of nervouse, I haven't had an interview in a while. It should be okay. As of now the group is trying to plan an end of summer trip to Wasaga. It should be fun. The hard part right now is finding a cottage. There are so many different cottages, but its hard finding the perfect one. And time is running out before all the cottages get booked up. But I know going through all of the stress and searching will be worth it in the end. Right now I'm watching the Cavs&Magic game. It's about to get intense because the 4th quarter is coming up soon. I guess I'll just end the blog here since I have nothing exciting to talk about.

Let's sail away, find our own country, let's build a house and beds out of palm trees, let's get away, let's push our lives aside

So today was a very tiring day. I bused all the way to Heartland to go job hunting. Which seems like a non-tiring activity, but it is. Walking around in the heat, and having to put on a smile to the places you apply to can get to you. I searched for every single "Now Hiring" sign in that place and I even went to random places just in case, you never know. Now I have blisters, my feet are sore and I'm starving. All of this caused by the hope of getting a job, it better be worth it.

Nobody said it was going to be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

It took me awhile to decide whether or not I would write a blog about relationships. I always figured I'm kind of biased because I am currently in one. But I think the same would go for someone who was not in a relationship and talked about the topic. So here it goes I guess.
One thing that urks me is people who confuse love with lust or infatuation. Just because you are in a relationship does not automatically mean that you are in love. To me, love is something that is kind of built up and then it smacks you in your face. It's not, "Oh, we're dealing? OMG I luv u! xoxo". You shouldn't try to rush it, it's one of the most sought after things do you really want to share it with just anyone?
Balance, balance....balance. I think that's one of the biggest things that you learn. This is really hard because it may feel like you want to spend every moment with that person, but you need to have space. I think it's important to have time for yourself and with other people. You still need to be your own person. You also value the time you spend together more, because when you're apart you miss the person and you make sure when you are with them you keep the memories. If you're with your partner almost 24/7 it will almost become like a routine thing, and not a time for each other. And it slowly distances you from others. You may even become like one megaperson instead of two individuals that are in a relationship together (watch The Hills, Hedi & Spencer).
Lastly (i know finally, right?), for people who are not in relationships and are searching. Just wait. Do not force yourself in to meaningless relationships with others you know won't go anywhere. What's the point? Yes, you may be trying to fill a void, but why fill it with people you don't care about? Telling the same cheesy lines over and over again, and playing the same games isn't doing anything for you. You're only slowly hurting yourself and them. Your person will come. And don't become negative about relationships. It may seem like everyone and their brother has a girlfriend or boyfriend. But don't let it make you become hostile or defensive, instead learn from the good and bad around you so when it's your time you'll be ready.
Hopefully, this doesn't sound like I think I am some LoveGuru, because I'm definitely not. I'm always learning and so is everyone. I just thought it would be nice to write about it from the other side.

Love is not an emotion, it's a decision. Two people have to live that decision everyday, even when things are hard and they feel like giving up. They have to hang on to that decision, that choice to love eachother, even if it's only by a thread.

Paramore posted up lyrics to a new song. &&HOLYCRAP they wrote about my life. i'm so freakin' pumped for the new album. but so sad that i'm not going to the concert to hear the new tunes.

IGNORANCE

if i’m a bad person, you don’t like me
i guess i’ll go, make my own way
it’s a circle
a mean cycle
i can’t excite you anymore
where’s your gavel? your jury?
what’s my offense this time?
you’re not a judge but if you’re gonna judge me
well sentence me to another life.

don’t wanna hear your sad songs
i don’t wanna feel your pain
when you swear it’s all my fault
cause you know we’re not the same
oh we’re not the same
the friends who stuck together
we wrote our names in blood
but i guess you can’t accept that the change is good
it’s good

you treat me just like another stranger
well it’s nice to meet you sir
i guess i’ll go
i best be on my way out

ignorance is your new best friend

this is the best thing that could’ve happened
any longer and i wouldn’t have made it
it’s not a war no, it’s not a rapture
i’m just a person but you can’t take it
the same tricks that once fooled me
they won’t get you anywhere
i’m not the same kid from your memory
now i can fend for myself

don’t wanna hear your sad songs
i don’t wanna feel your pain
when you swear it’s all my fault
cause you know we’re not the same
oh we’re not the same
we used to stick together
we wrote our names in blood
but i guess you can’t accept that the change is good
it’s good

you treat me just like another stranger
well it’s nice to meet you sir
i guess i’ll go
i best be on my way out

ignorance is your new best friend

you treat me just like another stranger
well it’s nice to meet you sir
i guess i’ll go
i best be on my way out

Must say that I had a pretty awesome weekend. I got to spend time with friends, loved ones and people that I haven't seen in awHile. On friday I went to a friends house to chill and before I got there something pretty douchy happened, but mehh. To make up for it I got to watch people play tipsy pool, which is actually quite interesting I must say. Ended up going to McDonalds and sitting there until we got kicked out, then got lost going to a park & it ended up raining when we got there. Saturday was funfun, got to chill at another friends house with their family there too. You would think it would be awkward, but they're really uber nice so it was awesome. We all got like an "initiation" to the house by taking tequila shots. Awesome. Later on we played spin the turtle Truth OR Dare. Which involved saliva, dollar bills, and breaking the innocense. Sunday was pretty tiring in the beginning because I was required to do gardening/landscaping. But I got help so it was all good. Later that evening went to light fireworks with friends. It was my first time, so it was pretty cool..and loud..and smelly. Monday went to Ashbridges Bay Park which had a beach to go bbq with family and watch a fireworks show that was soooo cool. All in all, a great weekend.

Leave only footprints, take only memories.

Cabin fever has officially set in. Found out today that the recession has had a major direct effect on me. Oh joy. So now it's time for me to actually go out and do something about it. No more loafting. I'm trying not to get depresso, but it's kind of hard. Was talking to a friend about the fact that I shall be legal in about six months. Can you say partAY? I'm just a bit excited..lies. In music news, Alexisonfire's new video for Young Cardinals debuts tomorrow on MOD. I'll probably post the video if I can get the link this weekend. &this weekend is MAY 24 weekend. I never really got what May 24 stood for since it's not on May 24th. But yea hopefully there is some sort of party or social gathering. Just an excuse to get out of the house and see people. Sorry for anyone that actually read this, it must have been torture.

When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life a thousand reasons to laugh.

Current random thoughts:

1. I'm broke.
2. Silence is not always golden, sometimes its the calm before the storm.
3. Deciding if I should get bangs or not.
4. Sometimes I can be such a girl, and not in a good way.
5. "good girls go bad" is officially one of the most catchy songs..I've been singing it for the pass two days.
6. ummm...
7. Everybody has a secret that will break your heart.
8. I should really put away my clean laundry
9. ..and maybe I should clean my room too.
10. I need a hobby.

Sometimes we build walls to see who cares enough to break them down.

All the boys will be happy, and all the girls will be oh so sad when the final Gossip Girl episode airs on Sunday night. Many loose ends need to be tied up to end the final days of the students of Constance and St. Jude's. But what will happen? Will Blair and Chuck be finally able to say those three not so simple words to each other? What will be the fate of Lilly and Rufus' relationship? And does Georgina have any last evil doings left up her sleave? Or will GossipGirl surprise them all? Only time will tell...

I found this picture on LJSecret about over a year ago and I found it on my computer randomly this past weekend. It's a blend of where I was before and where I am now. I'm kind of in this not-a-kid-not-an-adult phase that's confusing. I remember wanting to just hurry up and go through university and then be able to go out into the real world and live on my own. Prove to myself that I can make it. But now that I'm finished first year it feels like everything is just rushing by and there is no way to stop it. Before you know it I'll be graduating and actually have to face the real world. But I still want to be a teen and be able to do stupid and stuff and it's still okay. There are certain things you just can't get away with anymore once you grow up. I still want to be carefree and not worry about whats going to happen next week or next year. It's really scary that everything goes by so quickly and sometimes you don't have the time to sit back and take it all in. Now I regret wishing for everything to happen so fast. Like the saying goes, be careful for what you wish for. I don't know maybe this is just some kind of early mid-life crisis. Or maybe it's a sign that I am growing up and realizing that I have new responsibilities now. I have to be accountable for myself and not always rely on someone else to get things done for me. It's scary that a year ago I was worrying what shoes I was going to wear to prom and now I'm worrying about how I'm going to pay for books and transportation for next semester, and what potential hospitals I want to apply to. It's now time to make all those dreams that I had when I was a kid happen. I'm on the way to achieving them and it's surreal.

This is your life, is it everything that you dreamed that it would be when the world was younger, and you had everything to lose.

Hello fellow Paramore lovers! Well according to the post from Hayley on the website they're finished writing and recording the new album, chYEA! The description about the new songs from Hayley is, "there’s fast, there’s slow, and in-between… happy, angry, desperate and over it. and i can’t believe it’s real." Sounds freakin' awesome. I haven't heard any new music from them since the Twilight soundtrack, it's about time. And the theme for the new album is about friendship, the good, bad and ugly. Which is the perfect thing for me right now. I swear this bands lyrics actually fit right into my life, it's kind of scary. There was also a quote at the end of Hayley's post, it might be a song lyric not too sure. But I'll put it at the end of this entry. Tell me what you think about it.

Even though I'm uber tired I still have to write about last night. Girls nite out was awesome!! And while we were planning it we got a lot of SMACK about it being lame..but we had a lot of fun. I think it's just because we got to chill and do things that girls like to do. Some stuff that guys don't really get. We like girly, drama shows, dressing up and going out, and just sitting around and talking for hours. I think that's why we needed last night. It was just a time to relax and be with people who are on the same level as you. We definitely need more of these nights in the future.

Other than that life has been okay. The poverty state still remains so I had to go back to Loblaws and give my availability. The only reason why I've been so reluctant on going back there is because I don't want to be one of those people that say, "ya I've been working at Loblaws for five years"..I won't spend five years in a grocery store, no siree. So the job hunt hopefully begins on monday, it was really supposed to be friday but yea--procrastination. What else can I say? hmmm. Oh today I got a surprise. And yes it was a surprise. And I loved it. Shamrock♥.

Love is watching someone die. So who's going to watch you die?

Well, nothing interesting has really happened lately. I think my current poverty state may have something to do with it. I never knew being broke could be so depressing *sigh*. Tomorrow should brighten my mood.

Make it a great day or not, the choice is yours.

i have learned that it is easier said than done. but it is done.

You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks or even months
over-analyzing a situation.
Trying to put the pieces together.
Justifying what could've, would've happened
..or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the fuck on.

So today at lunch I was sitting with my sister eating mac n' cheese once again and randomly she just said, "I want to get married". For some reason this topic keeps coming up around me. Even though my sister is only 24, she feels like she should be married and have kids by now. At school one day me and my friends were talking, and two of my friends have already chosen their wedding song, and planned out their wedding already!! When I was asking them about it they asked me, "Haven't you ever chosen your wedding song or planned your wedding yet?", when I said no they looked at me like I was some kind of alien baby. But I don't really see what the big rush is, it's honestly the last thing on my mind to be planning out my wedding. I'm only 18. And I don't think it's really fair for the guy if you've already planned everything. Even though there's that whole thing where a lot of guys don't like planning weddings, but I think they should as least have a say in it, it's their day too. While we were on the topic of weddings one of my friends told us that her and her boyfriend were planning to get married after we graduate. Which is in only three years. Apparently they were going to move to Vancouver and she gave him an ultimatum. Either he marry her and go to Vancouver or she stays here. I'm sure it sounded better than that when they talked, but I don't think I would want to make the decision that way. I kinda want the whole proposal thing, where the guy freaks out about how he's going to propose and he goes out to choose the ring that he thinks suits his girl. And when he finally proposes the girl is all like, "omgomgomgomgomg!! yes!". Yea, I want that moment. I think people should live more in the moment instead of pre-planning everything, just let things happen when it's supposed to and you'll cross that bridge when you get to it.

Live for the moments you can't put into words.

Summer '09 has officially started chYEA!! Last night I went out with a bunch of my nursing friends to the centennial college boat cruise. As soon as we got there we noticed that there was an increased amount of old, sketchy looking brown guys. And there were waaay more guys than girls. Well Kim was happy because she had more guys to choose from, but me and Bonnie were like "ughhh creepy shiit". So we got on the boat and met up with our other friends who brought there guyfriends and we all took pictures and ate and stuff. &finally the party began *wootwoot*. So ya the dance floor was FREEZING because it was on the third floor all exposed to the rain and coldness. But we all slowly started dancing, so it kinda got better. And to all of you people that think nurses are a bunch of innocent girls....woooooow you're way wrong. I saw some pretty interesting stuff, from girls being glued to the bar, to some VERY interesting dancing to even making out with some random sketchy guy. Yea it was a fun night. We were in the middle of the dancefloor for most of the time, basically the life of the party. chYEA that's how we do:). Kim even found a guy that she was with for basically the whole night. And he wasn't sketchy or creepy so she got approval from us. It actually pretty cute seeing them together. NOTE TO ALL GUYS: when you're out and you want to dance with a girl and she tells you no. NO means NO! Yea I just had to put that out there. But honestly all of us together was awesome, I could see us all going out to clubs and stuff together &having freakin' amazing times. So the moral to the story is...nurses know how to partyy!!

Memories are only as good as the people you make them with.
