Well, yesterday marked two months of marriage for John and I. It certainly has been interesting. So far we have experienced 1 major sewage flood, two hot water pipe disconnecting floods, two failed attempts at pregnancy, endless renovations, sickness and lots and lots of good fun. The pill issues no warning that when you come off of it it may have screwed your body up enough to make you infertile for years, and that annoys me. I have a vegetable garden that is starting to grow but man, I had forgotten how fast weeds can spring up, their EVERYWHERE! I"m not really sure why I'm posting but I am. Beth and Fraser became parents to a little girl a few days ago and they named her Cadence Annabell. I like the name. I'm a bit jealous, I want a baby, or at least the assurance that one will be coming soon. Oh well, I have stuff I need to get done rather than typing random stuff on here. |

Medically speaking today was totaly weird. I had a whole bunch of weird stuff going on. I had to go to the clinic about my hand and apparently my x-ray was clear but I have very little control over my entier right hand and by doctors order I am off work for at least a week... maybe two. So, I'm a little bit stressed out. Their a few okay things about not being allowed to work: 1) I can go to church tomorrow night, 2) I have time to look for that full time day job so that I can quit the other two jobs 3) I can go to Karen's Bridal shower on Friday.... of course the downsides would be that I'm not supposed to use my right hand, I won't get paid for my missed Linens shifts (I should get workman's comp for Wendy's) so I won't make quite as much money as I would have if I hadn't screwed up my hand... oh well... oh randomish survey... what should I rename my fish... his currant name is Spirit but I don't like it... I want to change it.. I'm taking suggestions. well... that should suffice as my post for the year... lol. |

I don't really know why I'm posting since I don't have much to say. Mary and I are planning on moving out at the end of the month and that is exciting. I need to find a second job so I can afford to live on my own. I just got home from Disneyland a few days ago. I had a blast on my trip but it was certainly a big downer to come home to find out John had left to Mexico for three months while I was away. I wrote a song last night but as seems to be usual now no one reviewed it after I posted it. I haven't heard from John since I phoned him on Tuesday. I haven't heard from Allyssa since we got home on Monday. I finally have my college application but I don't really want to go to college. |

So, thanks to my company having lost something along the lines of 150,000... at least, from the water main issues at my mall I won't likely be able to go to Yellowkinife. My hours have been cut because they can't afford to pay staff for as many hours. So we are forced into understaffedness because we can't pay to have enough staff. I personally lost about $250 from us being closed down... yuck!
Today almost all of my customers seemed to be wearing 'grumpy pants' because most the women were bitchy and the guys were mostly rude. This one guy kind of made me laugh though... I think he was trying to make a joke because it was really awkward and me laugh would be a bad reaction if he was serious. He walked up to my till and put down a box and he says to me 'I'll have one box of martini glasses please" (that is of course what teh box was) so I say, "that won't be a problem>" but here comes the awkward part. He says, 'It's hard being an alcoholic, I keep breaking these things!'. I kind of laughed but I wasn't sure if he was serious or not. Anyway, he was kind of cute and I felt really awkward... bu today I prefer feeling awkward to feeling attacked.
I'm starting to get bored at Linens N'Things though. I'm always stuck on cash and I don't like it as much as I used to. We have our staff party in a week and I really hope more people come than are signed up because it would be kind of lame if there was only four of us and the other three will likely get drunk if alcohol is allowed.
Well, I have to work early tomorrow so I suppose I should go to bed. Goodnight. And I beg of you snow "Please grace us with your presence just a little longer!" Out.
Oh wait... I remember what my other news is... I'm finally going to get my tattoo this coming week but I"m kind of scared because it is going to hurt so bad! I'm excited though because it has taken me forever to finally decide. |

| You Are Ready to Get Married | 
You've done more than dream about the dress and the honeymoon
In fact, you spend a good deal of your time thinking about what makes a relationship work
And from your answers, it looks like you have the skills to say "I Do" and mean it
You've dated enough, learned your fair share, and you're ready to settle down. |
| You're Confident...Sometimes | 
You can seem confident when the occasion calls for it
But inside you may be experiencing a bit of self doubt
A little more inner confidence could take you far...
And convince others that you're as confident as you try to seem |

If you don't have musical talent, you've got a talent for picking out great CD's.
Music rules your life - and you've got the best MP3 collection of anyone you know.
Many guys find you intimidating, but a select few think you're the catch of a lifetime.
Start hanging out in more used record stores, and you'll find love with a fellow rocker! |
lol... okay whatever
| The PJ's You Are Most Like: Underwear | 
You enjoy the simple things in life and aren't hard to please
You have an understated, easy sexyness that men love
And you're confident enough to pull it off - without being overbearing |
| You Will Be a Modern Bride! | 
While you aren't ready to throw away all wedding tradions, you want a wedding with a twist
You're more inspired by celebrity weddings on E! than from bridal magazines
Whether this means getting married on the beach barefoot or a mariachi band for the reception...
Your wedding will be a blend of old and new - white dress cocktail, personalied vows, whatever suites you!!! |
| You Don't Have a Boyfriend Because You are Too Shy | 
When a guy gets to know you, he finds a great catch
Problem is... you're too shy for most guys to get to know.
From meeting someone to dating, you usually have your guard up.
And while you're just holding back, it makes you seem like you've got something to hide. |

This entry is in honour of the new ring that I have. It is a small blue butterfly and I proudly bear it on my left ring finger... yes taht's right, my ring finger. My theory goes like this:
The ring does not look like a wedding or engagement ring but maybe, just maybe if I guy that doesn't know me very well but was considering asking me out sees it he may think twice since he doesn't necessarily know that I'm single. Since I don't want to date anyone that I don't already know hopefully only a guy that knows me well enough to know I'm single will ask me out... of course... no one ever does ask me out anyway but... whatever... basically the ring fits best and looks best on that finger.
I'm starting to contemplate on the buttefly... since it is my favourite animal I figured maybe I should try to figure out why and as it happens I begin to form a metaphor... it is very likely that this metaphor has often been used.. in fact I know it has but taht doesn't make it any less true for me.. if you are curious in this matter then read my lj bio and that is the butterfly... okay, I think I should go study for my biology provincial so that I don't fail it... good idea eh? Bye bye |

Today has been interesting. Only three weeks left of school and then I will finally graduate! I'm almost done this chapter of my life... yay!
This morning Mrs.Webster checked over the little bit of my French essay that I have completed and thanks to Marie-Christine there were very few corrections that needed to be made. I can't really remember Math class expect that Mr.Bos was kind of upset with me for not doing my math homework. Between math and returning to french I had to talk to Mr.Kruger and tell him that I would be late for the choir recording tonight... he was not impressed and tore a painful strip off me in the middle of teh front lobby at school... I managed to hold until I got to french class where Lyss asked how talking to Kruger had gone and as soon as I said that he almost made me cry I did start crying. For once Mrs.Webster actually sort of tried to cheer me up. She had bought these 'magnetic poetry' french word magnets and was sticking them up on the white board and so Lyssa and I got to break them into their seperate words and make funny sentences that didn't entirely make sense.. lol Il est captivé la lumier (sp).. lol... okay. During lunch, being the dork that I am, I stayed in the french room and I sorted the magnetic words into catgories... that was fun. After lunch I went in search of chocolate because I was still emotionally very unbalanced and felt like if I didn't do something to fix it soon I would burst into tears again. I took my stuff to Bos's room where he sort of teasingly ragged on me about me not doing my homework and then I went to the office where I begged the key for the concession off of Mrs. Bothwell and went down to teh concession to get the most chocolatey chocolate bar that we have. After consuming some chocolate I felt better. I have nothing to say about Bio 12 execpt that we have an inexperienced, young and easily embarrased teacher and we are studying the urinary tract.
I was shocked after school when Mr.Kruger came to me and actually apologized to me for yelling at me. He said that he was happy that I was coming to the recording and for me please to forgive him for venting at me... not quite those exact words but along those lines.
Tonight I am going to Uki's house for dinner and then we are going out to Brentwood for the Senior Choir recording session.
News totally outside of school... I have been hired at the Wendy's in Colwood and I am very excited to start work because what I have seen so far is a very fun work environment and Lyssa and I will be working together. I can still go to Yellowknife in July because I just have to tell them that I am unavailable to work during the time that I am gone.
Owen is almost two weeks old and each new picture that we get of him is more adorable than the one before. He is such a fat baby! He has large, dark brown eyes and white-blonde hair... its cute... Anyway, perhaps I am more than just a little biased towards the kid but I love him despite having never actually seeing him.
By the way refering to my title for this post when Kruger talked to me after school he said that he hoped that I had healed a little after his reprimanding and I told him that I had had chocolate and was almost as good as new at which point he laughed and ran off like a mad man in pursuit of other students that he needed to give maps to. |

Well, last night at 11:20pm my baby nephew cam into the outer world. His name is Owen Scott. He weighed 10lbs 3oz and is currently residing in the Edmonton hospital even though he was born in the Yellowknife hospital. There were complications during his delivery but he will be fine and Laura is okay. |

Why is it that a year ago everything seemed to make sense and I had everything figured out and now that it is important to know where I am going and what I am doing I don't have anything figured out? Why is it that I have become so desperate to feel loved? Why is it that at a time when I would usually be drawing closer to God I feel like there is a huge chasm between us? Why is it that this girl who used to cry only when she was in physical pain is now almost aways on the brink of tears? WHY HAS MY LIFE FALLEN APART??? Why is it that the only people I really want to talk to right now are too busy to chat or hang out?...and I mean right now as in this moment. How am I supposed to make it through tomorrow when I don't even know if I can make it through tonight? Why do I ask so many questions? Well, to anyone who knew about my cutting habits, I've been clear for nearly three months and last weekend I threw out my knife. Why do I long for the embrace of the people that have hurt me the most? What is the point in living? Actually, what is the point in dying.. or living? It all just seems so pointless and I don't get it. Maybe I should just go to bed because maybe then I won't think about this stuff. Why is it that the last line of my personal journal entry was "I just want to be loved" and when I hit random on this computer's playlist the first song to start playing was a song with the lyrics "Looking for love in all the wrong places to just find someone that can erase the hurt"? Okay, you are probably sick of my questions be now so I think I will just go crawl into a corner and disappear. Don't worry, I'm not suicidal, just scared and confused. |

Yeah, today Lisa came and visited me at school.. that made me quite happy. I was about to totally disolve into tears which is something I almost never do and then she came around the corner and poked me... hehe... lol... so wee hung out for basically all of my spare and that was cool.
I'm happy to report that I got 90% on my biology midterm... this with hardly any studying... how well would I have done if I had spent a lot of time studying... apparently I have the highest mark in the class... oops, I"m bragging... okay, okay.. I guess I sort of meant to but now and then I think people ought to have bragging rights.
We had no subs in soccer today and SMU has improved since last year.... we should have one but one goal got in and and I really have no idea how it got through Sar since I'm pretty sure that she was lying on the ground witht eh ball in her arms... oh well, we played well and it was very hard work since there was only eleven of us and they had spares... I almost passed out a couple of times and even though I was exhausted I kept getting frustrated becuase Mr. Ryan kept telling me to hang back... I wanted to play... whatever.. at least they didn't beat us by much 2-1... maybe we will beat Parkland on Monday... we'll see, maybe their good players have graduated *hopeful shrug* . Anyway, I'm still sweaty and gross since we had to eat dinner basically as soon as we got home ... so I'm going to take a bath now. |

Well, we got creamed yesterday when we played GNS... I'm actually not all that sure why or how it happened since they didn't really out play us by much... I mean tehy had a few nice moves now and then but for the most part I thought we were pretty evenly matched... a score of 5-0 doesn't quite agree with me. I'm still curious as to why we don't pray together before games since we are a Christian school.. and hey, maybe it would help us... after all out of three games we have lost two of them by wide margins (6-0 and 5-0). Today we haad a practice. Well, six of us showed up and Mr. Ryan couldn't be there so we were running our own practice... there really isn't much you can do with only five players (Sarah being in goal) as far a drills go.. I ended up leaving practice early because my ankles were both realy hurting and I still had to bike home. I love soccer but it sure is hard on my body.
In other news I have three exams next week, none of which I am ready for. I also have a biology test tomorrow that I haven't studied for yet... yuck. Oh yeah... I'm not single anymore. I met this really great guy at the CRC the other day and after talking for a while he asked me out. I'm going to the beach tonight with young adults so I hope it doesn't rain... Oh yeah, the soccer team plays Parklands tomorrow... I can't remember who they are... Oh yeah, I"m just kidding about the not single anymore thing.. it couldn't be farther from the truth since I'm pretty sure there isn't a single guy out there that would bother to cast a second glance my way and although I am a little bit interested in one guy I don't really want to date yet... lol... sorry but I did have to through in a little... whatever you want to call it.. I suppose I should go get ready for YA since I still have to bath. Laters! |

No updates on Yellowknife yet, sorry Lisa. The thirty hour famine is over... yeah... well.. we had fun but man was I hungry. I raised a fair amount but I would have liked to raise at least another hundred dollars. Lyssa and I went to see "She's the Man" last night... it is modernized version of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night". It was a pretty good film... and we found it to be pretty darned funny... I'm still hooked on "Chocolat" though. Hmm... my brain isn't at a very functional point right now and I really can't think of much to say so I think I will go take a bath and then do some homework... yeah... |

Well, today I get up and my dad wants me to help fix the dishwasher... So after I was dressed and all taht jazz we started to take the dishwasher apart... I think my first job was disconnecting the water pipe, filthy water started pouring out all over my hand... I didn't care so much that my hand was wet it more the fact that the water smelled so disgusting! Well, once we started taking teh dishwasher apart we discovered that it was absolutely filthy.. like multiple mold cultures growing in an appliance that is supposed to clean things.. sick! I cleaned most of it up but then we got to a part that wouldn't budge... Dad kept trying to remove it and it just wouldn't come out... finally he decided to go for a walk and aska professional for some advice. The people at teh appliance store were trying to fix teh window which someone had smashed in and so dad was able to tell them a better way to fix it and in turn the guy came and looked at our dishwasher and told us teh problem... I'm not sure if it is good or bad but the dishwasher isn't fixable. I can't remember where my dad has gone but when he gets back I expect we will be putting teh wishwasher back together so taht at least it isn't lying around in the middle of the floor. So far that has been my excitement for the day.. yuck it smelled so bad! Oh well... the worst is over.. hopefully. |

ONe day he nearly hangs up on me because I tried talking to him about God and the next day he starts randomly flipping through his Bible which is apparently kept beside his bed! I have to admit that I am incredibly confused! Well, it was a good conversation anyway and he is taking me grad dress chopping on Saturday (asuming his car is fixed by then.) Oh yeah, I'm talking about Arend, not John... since John doesn't exactly have a driver's licence and Arend does. I don't really have anything exciting to report.. I went bowling yesterday and I went swimming today and I guess tomorrow I will have to start working on stuff like homework and room cleaning... yuck! oh well I suppose that is the way things are. |
