30 Day Prompt

September 2, 2010 10:41 pm 30 Day Prompt, Boys, Family, Offline. 4 comments

me @ the beach I’m starting a new challenge today. I love blogging daily, but I find it hard to come up with topics. So I merged some lists that I found online, as well as got some of my own from the imagination prompt (which is really cool, and addicting) to come up with a 30 day list. The only thing is, near the end of the month it will over lap a bit with the 30 Days of Taylor Swift, as I’m starting that on a specific day so that it will end the day her new album comes out. So, I’ll start with Day 1 – A photo of yourself and a description of how your day was.

You can see the picture to the left. It’s not from today, but it’s from the weekend so I figure that’s good enough. My day today was alright. I got home around 11ish from my friend’s house, and then I did a bit of online stuff before decided I should clean my room. I’ve had piles and piles of clothes on my bed for a while now, so I finally went through it and put MOST of it away, but the rest won’t fit in the dresser that I have so I need to figure something out, or get rid of some stuff that I don’t wear, even if I still like it (there’s a lot of that.. clothes I love, but just never wear). I have massive amounts of shirts/tops, and there’s only 7 days in a week so I really don’t need them all, haha. But I need some for winter, some for summer.. then my tank tops, and fancier shirts. So I do need a lot, just probably not as many as I do have. I also need to figure out where to put all my sweaters, but I wont bore you with my laundry details anymore (which reminds me that I need to go switch the laundry I have in).

After that, I just hung out with David for a bit. I know that I said I was going to cut him off, but that didn’t end up lasting more than two days. I went a week without seeing him, but still talking to him.. but now we still talk basically normally. He told me that he thinks I’ve changed a lot in the last two weeks, and wants a ‘big day with my family’ or a group of people, to see if it would work. I’m not entirely sure how that would make it clear, considering the fact that a relationship would be JUST US, not my family? So I don’t get it.. I suggested that since we both have changed, we start over. Pretend we know nothing about eachother, and then go on a ‘first date’ or something, to see if the new us still liked each other (because I know he’s changed, so do I love the old him, or the new one as well?) and what not, but he said a big family day would help.

When I got home from hanging out with him, I made my self a sandwhich & then went to text him, only to realize I forgot my phone in his car. I realized at about 9:54, and he was supposed to be home by 10. So I called him quickly to see that it was infact in there, and then he turned around & my sister and I met him half way. We said we should stop at Wal Mart or something as that’s half way, but he said it would be more fun if we just met in the middle of the road. A road which happens to have a speed limit of 80, so as soon as I saw him it was as he went passed. So we pulled into a sketchy place that was one way with security cameras and such, and then had to go out another way and by the time we got out, he had turned around & passed us again so we had to pull over & he went through the same sketchy way we did. So then he pulled infront and I got out and got my phone, and he said it was more fun than just pulling into wal mart :P I had tried to call him from my sisters phone, but I got the machine. I ALWAYS forget that his answering machine is him saying ‘hey, what’s up?’ normally, so I started talking but it was just his machine. Then I realized when he kept talking that it was the machine.. I do that EVERY TIME I call him and get the machine, haha. Even though I was with him when he recorded the message…

But now I have my phone <3 I would have said he could just bring it after work tomorrow, because I CAN survive without it for a day, but I work after he’d be done & I didn’t wanna make him have to drive all the way back just to drop my phone off at work , so then I wouldn’t have got it until Saturday or later, depending on when I saw him. I said my sister would just drive me to his house to get it, but he said he’d meet us half way.

So that was my day.

No Time

I’m alive, I promise. I’m just writing this quick blog because I have to leave soon, and I’ve barely been home at all today to do it at any other time.

Monday I went to Niagara Falls with my family, though I didn’t end up getting to see the falls (again -_-) because my parents didn’t want to go shopping, so they went while we were shopping. I got a cute new dress for the first day of school (next tuesday, yay..) & a nail set to keep in my purse because I’ve always wanted one, along with an eyelash curler just because I needed something else for buy one get one 50% off that they had.

While we were in Niagara Falls, we saw bus stop signs & billboards that had my cousin on them (well, my dad’s cousin’s daughter.. so my second cousin? maybe?) because she recently did modeling, and did a photo shoot for back to school for a mall near Niagara Falls. It was cool to see, but it BARELY looked her. Oh well, it was still pretty cool :P

Yesterday, I didn’t do much. I had to go on a nice adventure with my friend Taylor to Burlington (about 30 mins away from my town) because I needed to pick up a prescription (that my parents don’t know about) by today (wednesday), but I was working all of the hours that the clinic was open, and it’s only open on Wednesdays so they said I’d have to go to the one in Burlington. So Taylor offered to drive me ’cause she’s awesome, so we have a nice adventure.

Today, I had to go to school to register for next semester, even though I only have three classes. I had to wait in an almost two hour line up, in a sweaty hot gym because our school is too ghetto to afford air conditioning. Then we had to get lockers and shiz, and I had to go to work at 1 so my friend & I went to Subway, and then I went to work until 5.

Now I’m home for a bit, but I’m leaving soon to go to Saloni’s house for a sleepover as after this, everyone starts leaving. Nicole left today (we were all told by her that she was leaving sunday, but then I saw her at registration), Inayat leaves Friday, Serena + Saloni leave Saturday, Fatima leaves on Monday and then it’s just Me, Taylor & Melissa left.. but we’ll all be working and I’ll be schooling this semester, and Taylor next. So it’s kinda sad that we’ll all be parting ways, but I figure if the friendship is really strong enough, it’ll last past this. I know for a fact Taylor and I will remain friends, as we work together + live close. I told Inayat I’d keep her updated on my life via long ass facebook messages, and I’ll probably do the same with Fatima as I’ve always told her all stories I had about David or whatever, because she lives vicariously though me (haha).

So now, I need to change and then get ready to go to Saloni’s. I hope you’re all having a good week so far <3

Wow, this is the longest I’ve gone without posting in over a month. As you can see, I put up a new layout on Friday night but I haven’t really had time to fully finish the sidebars & widgets and what not, so I’ll do that eventually. I like it how it is for now, so I might not even change it at all. Let me know if you find anything that isn’t working right or looks weird and I’ll be sure to fix it :D

Yesterday, I spent the day with my family at my grandparents new cottage. We left the house at like 8:15 (and I didn’t get to sleep until like 5 that morning, because I just couldn’t sleep.. fun) in the morning to go to wal mart to pick some stuff up before (I got Season 5 of the office on sale, woo~) and then we were there by 11ish. There’s a beach right by it, and I took some pictures but I can’t find my camera cord ANYWHERE so I can’t upload them, so my sister & I were there for a bit, but other than that we just chilled around the cottage. It’s small, and really nice :) My mom’s aunt & uncle & their foster baby Sophie ended up coming too. No one knew they were, and they didn’t really know where it was.. so they spent half an hour driving around and around looking and we kept seeing them pass. My mom said ‘Hey, that looks like Auntie Shirley’ (my grandma’s younger sister) and then a few minutes later when the van was going the other way, she said ‘Hey, that looks like Uncle John’ (my grandma’s youngest sisters husband), and then said she hoped it wasn’t Auntie Marg, and she just mistook her for Auntie Shirley (their family has drama; they don’t talk to her as much I don’t think? the rest of the 4 sisters are close though). Turns out, it was & they eventually found the place. Some of my grandparent’s friends stopped by a little after that, so we ended up leaving later than planned.

We went back to the trailer (it was closer than home) at around 7:30, and then I had some ice cream & my little cousins came by. There’s a kitten at the trailer, and it’s been there for a few weeks. My mom bought it food and it always stays when them when they’re there, but the other times I’ve went to see it, it was never there. I want them to bring it home (and my mom said she probably will in the fall, once the season is over & we can’t go back all winter), but they aren’t letting it come home.. yet. So I finally got to see it last night, and it’s the cutesttttt little thing <3 It’s so tiny, but it has a huge belly & looks like it’s pregnant. I wouldn’t be surprised, since it’s a stray cat but I don’t know if that would help in my parents bringing it home, or just make them say not a chance. Because my mom says that she doesn’t know how well Cookie (my cat at home) will like a new cat, so I don’t think she would like multiple new cats. We used to have another one, but he ran away (my mom says that Cookie scared him off), but they had kittens awhile before that but we eventually had to give them away (we rent our house, so we’re not technically allowed pets). Either way, I WANT THAT KITTYYYY! <3

Today I worked, and then went to Wal Mart with my sister & bought some food, came home and then checked on some things online & just watched some One Tree Hill for a few hours. I’m honestly not in the mood to do anything else. Tomorrow, my parents & sister & I are going to Niagara Falls to go shopping & hopefully get to see the falls. Wednesday I have registration for school & then work, and hopefully Thursday I’ll be hanging out with my friends as they all start leaving this weekend. It really sucks :(

So tired.

August 26, 2010 5:34 pm Friends, Offline, Online, Site. 10 comments

I’m so tired. I got up at 9am yesterday so that I could have some time before work to do my design of the day, catch up on comments and do some random things online. I didn’t go to work until 1, but I also wanted to actually be awake and not just groggy for going to work.

I didn’t even come home after work though.. I was working with my best friend Taylor, and then we went to her house after to change (and watch Baby High and an old episode of Life Unexpected) and then went to Fatima’s house for a sleepover. It was the first time since prom that ALL of my friends were together, and not only some of us hanging out and others working. It was only Me, Taylor, Saloni & Fatima that were at the sleepover, but it was still fun. We had pizza & just talked for the night, and then after everyone who wasn’t sleeping over left, we ended up staying up until 5am just talking about random things. I missed our girl talks like that, and it really sucks that starting Sunday, every one is leaving for University/College.

Last night was probably the last time I’ll see Nicole, because she spent the whole summer working and if she was free, she’d be with her girlfriend. If we asked her to hang out, she’d say she was ‘toiletry shopping with her grandma’, and then there would be pictures on facebook that same day of her, her girlfriend + a friend shopping together. It’s like okay, I get you want to see your girlfriend… but just TELL US THAT, you don’t have to lie about it :/ Whatever though, if she doesn’t want to make the effort to see us, then I guess she isn’t as good of a friend as I thought she was. We all kind of gave up putting in the effort, because we would ALL ask her to hang out, and she’d just make up excuses as to why she couldn’t, but then get mad at us if we said we couldn’t hang out one night because of work and such. Oh well.

When we got up this morning, we went to a restaurant called Cora’s for breakfast. We usually go to Troy’s, but we decided to try something different. Troy’s is waaaay better. The service was alright, but the food was kinda expensive, and they didn’t have much that I wanted. Most of the dishes just came with ‘a mountain of fruit’ which made it all more expensive, and most had strawberries which I’m allergic to. Not to mention, the only fruit they had that I liked was grapes, oranges & apples. The rest were random berries and such that I don’t like. So I just had eggs, toast & sausage, but the eggs were really gooey and the sausage tasted weird :/ Not to mention the eggs were cold after like five minutes. We didn’t have to wait that long for food, but once we were done eating, we were waiting for like half an hour for them to bring the bill/clear the plates and such, and then they never told us we had to go up to pay, so we were waiting longer until we just went and found someone. It was kinda annoying, so from now on.. I think I’ll stick to Troy’s.

I’m almost done the new layout. I figured out how to make the sidebars work, I just need to get the CSS coding finished because I feel like there’s too much of one colour on it right now. I’d show an example, but I want it to be a surprise. Maybe I’ll get one person to give me their opinion of it… Today, I also got a paypal payment from Bloggerwave for $4 because of a post I made about a month ago. I like that you don’t have to wait until you get to a certain amount, because now I have more towards my hosting. I also loved that PayPal didn’t take off a fee, so I got the full $4 and not like $3.26 or anything weird like that. That’s more than a months worth of hosting, so it’s pretty cool. I’m about $20 away from the payout at PayPerPost, but I might just wait until the two posts I have waiting get approved (which is in like.. 20 days) and then if I don’t get any more offers by the time the two ones waiting get confirmed, I’ll just cash out and not worry about the $2 fee for cashing out under $50. But then again, I don’t really NEED the money as I still have more than enough for the next five months hosting in my paypal, so I could just wait. Meh, I’ll decide when the time comes.

I also had a lovely phone conversation with my co-op teacher today. I’ll start co-op once I go back to school (registration is next week D: grr), so she was calling to check up on what I want to do so she can find places and such. We talked about three possible places I could go: a design + copy center, the newspaper center for the layout design, or a photography place where they edit photos and such. I’m excited for co-op, even if the teacher is a bit psycho and everyone hates her. When my sister did co-op, she asked to get put at a bank or tv station, and she got put at a flower store simply because the teacher “thought she looked like she’d like it”. She did like the people there, but it had nothing to do with anything that she wants to do so it was kind of a waste of time. I’m not going to do co-op if it’s not for something I want to do with my life, that’s the whole point of it…

Oh, and I did find out what that secret was. It so wasn’t what I had in mind, and I don’t know if I was disappointed by that or not.

EDiTT// New layout is up. I’m still fixing some things up, but I really need to sleep so deal with the somewhat messyness now, and I’ll fix it when I get a chance. Full blog coming soon.
