Sasha - Calling Your Name |
] |
So, I spent an excruciatingly boring day at work, it being Labour Day, everyone thought we were closed. No, of course not, we're never closed! It turned out all right in the end, since I got a chance to draw up a virtually finished map of my new campaign setting, and doze-off for around half an hour before closing, because Dan showed up to keep me company (yay!).
Went back to his house for food(tunabake <3) and watched a few episodes of Full Metal Alchemist, because Dan hasn't seen any of it and I'm determined to get him through the whole series. A little ways through one of the episodes, Rafie showed up with Vickie to put together Dan's custom PC that he's building for him, and they did that for a while-- I read a few of the things in Races of the Wild to keep myself amused and fed Kitty some Crispers (apparently, she likes Ranch.)
Afterwards Rafie and Dan played Halo while Vickie and I did other things, I think she slept or something, and I screwed around with Dan's PC until around 10 50 or so, when we decided to leave.
Here's where things get interesting.
So, we're driving home, enjoying the relaxing drive(I'm prattling a bit about the possibility of me helping to fix up/rebuild a 1985 fv1000r Honda Motorcycle <333333333333 but more on that later--) listening to the music, etc. A typical Rafie drive home.
So, when we get onto Hymus, just in front of the Zellers complexe, we're stuck behind a bus when the light turns green, and it's still waiting for passengers to get on/off, so Rafie goes around it-- and JUST as we get onto the cross-section, a fucking black SUV comes out of NOWHERE(gunning through the yellow light he must've seen as he turned the corner). I didn't think we were going to crash, but holy shit did we ever.
We smashed RIGHT into his back left-- from what I understand, the back tire axel is completely severed, along with some pretty bad damage to the rear.
...Rafie's car was totalled. The damage that car ate is completely irreparable-- the whole front of the drivers side was CRUSHED inwards, we were coughing through a cloud of smoke when we stopped to get out, and luckily, no one was seriously injured. Vickie was the only one ot get taken to the hospital, likely for mild whiplash-- Rafie was fine, and I'm fine(except for the bruise the seatbelt's gonna leave on my flesh, and a bit of a headache XDDD) and the driver of the other car was fine as well.
Jeez @__@; My first car accident, and considering the damage to the car we were in, I'm amazed that no one was hurt worse. @@;;
At any rate, I think I'm gonna sleep now-- I'm really tired.
Figured I might as well post something interesting for a change XD;;;;

As some of you may, or may not know, I've been in New Brunswick for the past few days (left Friday morning at 7 AM) for the purpose of going to my cousin Steven's wedding. It was a rather cute affair, short and sweet and Holly looked absolutely gorgeous, though I'm still inclined to believe that almost everyone's focus was on the children of the wedding party, namely Cooper and Charley, the twins. Then again, that's to be expected-- everyone loves kids. XD
The reception went over quite well too, though I left early, what with Molly dancing around like mad, racing between the throngs of giant dancing feet, the DJ playing music that everyone could appreciate(mostly old "down 'ome" tunes), and drinks were flowing freely. Even I was coaxed into having a few rhum&coke's by Christina, who is a hazard to my moral values.
Guh, I'm really tired, since we had to check out of the hotel at 11AM today, and I've only had a few hours of sleep. T_T Maybe I'll be able to catch a few minutes later on, otherwise I'll be falling asleep much too early. XD

Breaking Benjamin - Blow Me Away [Halo 2] |
] |
Blah, don't feel that great this morning ; ;. But I need to open up the shoppe today, so I have little choice but to drag my ass from bed! Oh well, hopefully I'll feel better after eating something.
Hung out at my cousins house yesterday, and had my first glimpse of what Halo 2, Live is all about. I might be remotely okay at the game itself, but put me up against experienced players, and I'm a dead woman. XD;;; Cannon fodder anyone? Still, running around as a purple-and-orange-armored Covenant Elite made me happy.
I also wound up watching Cry Wolf, which was an interesting movie. Well executed in my opinion, and while it was slightly unpredictable, I saw the ending coming from a mile away. Had me going for the first few minutes, though.
Uuuugh, I'm tired. XD;;
Going to eat breakfast, I'm incohereant, or something.

Soldiers of the Wasteland - Dragonforce |

Uuugh. XD;
I'm starting to get such a sore back from standing around in the shoppe all day, between bending down to stock shelves and lifting boxes and everything in between. I hate, hate, hate stocking the top shelves, and I'm quite glad they don't get used much, because stocking them involves using a step ladder, and although it's only like, two feet off the ground, I'm very uncomfortable about not being able to balance on the ground. Besides, ladders creep me out. They could crumple at any moment!
Aside from this, tomorrow is my first day absolutely alone in the store. As in, although Diane will be on speed-dial #2 on the phone, I'll be managing everything by myself, answering questions I likely don't know the answers to, and generally panicking inwardly while I serve the interesting assortment of prevous residents from Great Britain.
Wowza, I can already feel the panic setting in. T___T
So, things I have to do tomorrow include;
-Making sure everything is stocked(especially in the Brit Room)
-E-mailing the warehouse about what we're low on
-Taking out the garbage
-Making sure everything is accessible
-Figuring out the weird +50$ on the daily cash thingy >_<
-Dusting
-Sweeping
-Becoming un-nervous about answering the damn phone XD
And a multitude of others I can't think of right now.
Yeesh.
Yeah, gonna go get some sleep now, and hopefully look forward to watching The Brothers Grimm when I get home from work. Providing I don't die. |D
I think I'll put on a movie to fall asleep to.. Maybe le version francais of The Phantom of the Opera.

So, I should really be sleeping right now, seeing as I have to get up in a few hours to go to work. >>;;;;;
..Oh, right yeah, Fishy got the job! .. You know, the teashoppe one? Yeah, sweet. <3 Only it's not all about tea, but actually mostly about British import foods XD Which is awesome. Because British food is some of the neatest things I've ever seen, and when I get all these people walking in with accents... <3333 I was working last Saturday, when England had it's first game and won, and almost everyone who came in entered with some variant of, "YEAH, ENGLAND WON!"
Which was sweet. Since I was originally supposed to watch that game, when Dan and I planned it a few weeks back, but duty called ; ;. My first day of work fell on that day, which kinda made me a leeetle upset, but it all balanced out with the amount of fun I had XD;;
Yeah, Friday the 9th was my one-year anniversary of dating Dan. Kinda scary, now that I think about it XD; HOW FAR I'VE COME FROM BEING OBLIVIOUS THROUGH HIGHSCHOOL :DDDDD;;;;
He took me to the Commensal, a spectacular vegetarian buffet downtown *_*;; Wow, I didn't think I liked vegetarian food that much. I think I could live without meat with that kind of food, and Dan's mum makes the BEST meals I've ever had. I never knew spaghetti could be so yummy. T_T; But yes! We went to the Commensal, ate dinner and talked a lot, which was so nice. T_T; I hardly ever get to do it, just talk with him about random stuff since we're usually around a lot of people, so that was just.. nice.
He said a couple of things that made me laugh, since we were only supposed to meet Mike at 7.. or 8 30, rather, and we'd finished dinner by 7 XD;; Not that we weren't agonizing through the delicious and overly filling desserts up until we had to go, but that's beside the point! He said he'd planned it that way, since it always seems like I'm in a rush to do everything, never having a moment to sit back and relax, to enjoy things. XD; It was cute, and I really did appreciate it.
We met up with Mike at the Paramount on schedule, though after we'd bought the tickets, he convinced us to go back to his house, because he wasn't sure if he'd locked his door-- and since he's in, and I quote, "Axe-murderer central," I didn't blame him for wanting to check. We ended up being late for the movie and missing the credits, but The Omen turned out to be as crappy as all of us expected. XD;
Then it was off to bed, up in the morning with BED IN BREAKFAST AND YUMMY OMELETS OMG. Mike makes a mean cheese omelet. Then I was off to work and about half-an-hour early :D I had a weird dizzy spell on the bus, though T_T; Didn't happen again once I got off, so it was probably just motion sickness :D
Worked all day, was very fun, and less stressful than I expected. XD; Was extremely happy to know England won-- AND CONTINUES TO DO SO, YEEEEAH! XDDD
So, I have work tomorrow, and writing this has helped me be sleepy, yay.
Nini everyone ; ;..~

SO I'M NOT DEAD
Betcha were all hoping I was, huh.
>_>;;;
WELL ANYWAY :D
Fishy may have a job! I'm waiting for the nice lady (Diane) to give me a call back so she can show me around the store and whatnot, but when I went to see her on Saturday under the coaxing of Dan and his mum, she said she was fairly certain I'd be hired. Unless, of course, if someone more geared towards the job drops by in the meanwhile, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that doesn't happen. XD;
Training would start in July, the job itself in August. ANd here's the kicker; DESPITE BEING AN AVID COFFEE FANATIC-- This little shoppe is, you guessed it; a Tea Shoppe. Maison Bramblehouse it's too cute T_T; There's so many sparkly things in there! *_*;;
That's pretty much all I've been doing recently-- looking for a job. And gaming. Haha, Rafie's got this awesome game going on Tuesday nights in the Alternity system, and it's great. Dan's game is still running strong, and I hope it continues to so for a long, long time XD;;; I love Calien too much to put him away just yet XD;
OH OH
Last night I FINALLY watched Mirrormask. OMG. That was one of the best movies I've seen in a while-- I definitely reccomend it to anyone looking for a good movie to watch. Neil Gaiman is a genius T_T I could watch this movie over and over, and still not get bored of it XD;;
The soundtrack is AMAZING as well. *_*; I'll upload it later X3

I don't know, [insert rant and angsting and whatever else you want here]. I'm alive, at least. I suppose things can only get better, from here. Ahn, I find myself really wishing summer would drag it's ass along already. I also find myself wanting to go to New Brunswick again, to spend time there again. Just to get out of this stagnant asmosphere. I really wish I could say some things on my mind, but those aren't for some ears. I wonder, though.

Here we go, as promised! :D The Howl's Moving Castle OST uploads <3 I JUST wound up watching this movie recently, and was so disappointed when it didn't win at the Oscars for best animated film ;o; Man, the Oscars were all askew this year, nothing won that should have :\ Except I DID like Crash, it was a good, powerful movie. It was also rather satisfying to watch a movie that didn't actually have some lame, ill-thought ending, especially when dealing with all the ism's in that movie. O_o;

No matter what I do, I'm always going to be a "selfish bitch" to everyone, particularly my mum. Maybe I am, I can't tell. Sometimes I catch myself thinking that I don't think ENOUGH about myself, always trying to make everyone else around me happy, but I always seem to get it wrong, and someone winds up feeling that I'm paying too much attention to my needs over theirs. Gnnn, I don't KNOW. T_T;;;; I just don't. x_x;

Aaand cue angst!
Sorta, anyway.
More like, school-angst. XD I've been sick for a few days, and haven't really been caring about attending my classes this semester.. I've been slacking off, avoiding work, and, like I usually do when something gets tough or it comes down to something I really don't want to do, or can't do, or even THINK I can't do, I'm running away.
I know I should pull things together, finish up this semester and pass everything... Since I could, if I actually, honest-to-the-gods TRIED for once. But really, I don't know what I want to do. I'm struggling so hard through even wanting to BE in school, that I really just don't.. want to stay. Maybe I'm not ready for this yet, but if I quit now, I wonder if I'll ever go back. Even still, at the rate I'm going, I'll probably flunk out and then NEVER get a chance to go back.. Augh. I wish I could find something I'm good at, and enjoy, but it doesn't seem like there's anything out there for me. And I can't sit around doing nothing with my life, one, because I NEED to be doing something, and two, because I think my family would kill me. I know they're disappointed in me, and it's hard dealing with it, because as much as I want to make them proud, I can't.
I just.. really don't know what I'm going to do.
