Today, I got in an argument with a big name person on a website--I called a post he made sexist, he refuted it, and a lot of people called me a lot of names. The awesome part was a lot of people coming to me privately saying that they really liked what I wrote, and that they thought I was clear, concise and passionate in my arguments, and also that they were saving the posts for later to show other people. I'm shy about sharing my writing and my opinions with anyone, never mind the internet at large, and to have people come to me and say that they liked it was really, really  And it's a long weekend! Booyah, sleepin' in.

I got free cheesecake at Cheesecake Factory! We had our seats taken while we were getting escorted to our table, so they made us wait longer and I jokingly said "Free cheesecake would solve this." And it did!

Some idiot set off the fire alarm in my dorm at 2 AM, and I ended up meeting some very attractive girls. Mixed blessing, I guess.

Finally off the lease at my old apartment. No more paying 300 a month for an apartment I wasn't using so it wouldn't kill my credit.

No real reason other than it was awesome weather and I was a lot more productive than I expected to be. Got my vision checked (20/15), washed my car for the first time in YEARS, did some laundry and joined a gym.  Not too bad considering I got a late start and slept in till 11 am.

This summer I've been doing a paid internship that I loved in the field of my major. I really enjoyed the work I was doing and my co-workers and fellow interns were awesome. We were supposed to find out if we got real jobs last Friday. Most of the interns got jobs -- I was set up with two additional interviews. On Thursday, I got the call from the internship manager that I didn't get a position. I was crushed. I turned in my laptop and key card this morning and got my final check. A couple hours ago, I got another call from my internship manager. Things had changed, and they offered me a full-time position I start on Wednesday!!

I got an awesome haircut and I definitely needed it. I also had a chance to actually cook tonight for the first time in a while... okay, I busted out my slow cooker. But homemade chili verde is enough to make a day awesome. OH! And I had been having computer problems but thankfully it was still under warranty. I mailed it to HP on Tuesday and expected to not see it for a couple of weeks. As of today, it's already being mailed back to me and I should have it by Monday.

Had a realization a month ago that settling for mediocre grades and doing the very minimum to get by is a terrible waste. I'm unhappy with where im at, i'm not being stimulated enough, and I'm still in my butthole hometown. With my friends all leaving to 4 year universities, and me being left behind still at community, I realized I've screwed up by not applying myself. I was very excited to apply myself, but at the same time I was equally terrified it wouldn't be enough. Fast forward to today! Talked to a counselor at college today about transferring colleges in the future and how probable that was with my early academic performance (which was initially bad). Looks like I can do alot to fix my GPA, as well as meet the other transfer requirements. These next two semesters are going to be rough and filled to the brim with classes, but I know I can do it if I apply myself. The counselor said given my situation, transferring is very possible as long as I do the tough work. I felt like the clouds parted and the sun was shining again. So basically, today was awesome because I realized my goals are still totally obtainable, and I'm not forever scarred by my previous faults.

Have an interview for a real-life post-graduation job tomorrow, from the first company I handed my resume to. Pretty sure I have a good shot at getting the job too, after schmoozing with the potential employers over cheesy fries and beers tonight. This job hunting thing isn't nearly as hard as it looks

A few days late on this, but I got to fly out to visit my boyfriend (who is away job training in a different state for two months) for the last three weeks. I stayed in his hotel room and every day when he came home we got to cuddle and go to sleep together every night I also got to go whale watching while I was there. I'm home now and it's taking some getting used to not seeing him every day... but at least he'll be home in a few weeks!

Figured out this coming Sunday will be exactly 1 month since my first bicycle ride. 2 months ago I couldn't imagine working out somewhere besides my own living room. My ride tomorrow will put me over 150 miles for the month. Plan on keeping it up outside until the ground gets wet/icy or the temp goes below freezing. Will be picking up an indoor trainer for those times.

It's only the end of the third week of school and I have so many friends. For the first time in three years, I'm excited to go to classes every day. Took me three different schools to find someplace I belong. And my cousin who is like my sister had her baby today. I am an aunt. I just don't even know how to say what I feel right now.

For the past several months I've been trying to figure out a way to get away from this crazy girl. I didn't want to be with her, but I was afraid if I told her to get lost, she'd do something crazy, like slice my tires, or my neck, so I was stressing out how to dump her. This morning, she texts me that she is going back to her ex. I told her that was fine, and that I hope it worked out for them and that I would do everything in my power to stay away from her. You know, for her relationship's sake.  Such a relief!

the sucky part is that i am officially laid off of my job today, but the awesome thing is, the guy who got laid off with me just had an interview at a school for a math job, and they need a reading job (that i'm perfect for) which is at a school with another coworker I love dearly. so if i can land this job, the lovely being laid off thing turns into an improvement!

Sitting at work, it's raning outside, listening to Nebelhëxe. I'm happy, my wife got promoted at work, now she's officially running the store. And I'm looking so much forward to spending the coming weekend with my scouts, we're going on a 50 Km walk. I'm so happy that I 5 months ago, decided to join the scouts again after a 20 year break - just being with the kids, doing something useful for the local area, and making the kids happy is a bloody great feeling!

I woke up after a long night of drinking and having an adventure that's another story completely. I was within walking distance of my job so I woke up, smoked a bit, had a nice walk to work. Got to work, chilled. My boss was on tv, so we got a bunch of work done so we could slack off and watch the tv. Cruised through the rest of the day, got off work mid-afternoon and had a few drinks. My drummer picked me up from work, went to get a bunch of records (he said 300, but I think that was an exaggeration) from one of his mother's properties, went back to his place and listened to a bunch of these old classic rock and punk albums. (Even listened to some Bob Dylan!) While I was listening to these albums with my drummer, I drank a beer and organized a gig. Got to the practice spot, loaded up the equipment, got to the bar, unloaded the equipment, rocked some faces, loaded up the equipment, got to the practice spot, unloaded the equipment, had a smoke, and came home. It was a pretty amazing gig (despite the fact that I have loving kitchen rash/crotch rot whatever and I'm walking like a cowboy). Didn't make any money but got some free drinks and some friends showed up and we had a good time. Now I'm listening to a band that I really like and having a beer before going to sleep and enjoying well-earned day off. I covered part 2 of this song tonight, I hope you enjoy it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut7EXvLqiWM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9PFOXAA4GE

Had some family drama over the past few months, let it really get to me over time, but today I think I did an okay job of getting my bearings back. Sometimes prolonged stress for so long just makes you hostile. I feel like I made some progress today though, had an epiphany here and there. Not really much to celebrate on, but I feel like im going back to my old self again, today being an nice leap in that direction. Dad was able to set me up with a shrink sometime this week, and I think that could really do me good. Also worked out today with my friend, and that really cuts down on the stress. Things are going to be alright e: A little e/n-ish but it was really a great thing today. buglord has a new favorite as of 08:33 on Sep 21, 2011 |

I got home from the trade show I've been at since Saturday. I am exhausted. Mentally and physically just spent and I have to work tomorrow. Early. But I got to see my kitties, who are awesome. I missed them. I also got to unpack my trinkets, which are goofy and useless but fun. Laundry is done, the house is clean and I don't have poo poo to do for the rest of the night. I am watching pre-season hockey, eating a sandwich and drinking some gin in my pajamas at 5pm. I am enjoying my tiny bit of free time to its fullest and then I'm going to sleep.

Also I get my last paycheck with summer hours on it tomorrow which is some awesome spending money. University owns edit: oh yeah and I got a 25% raise today since my training period is up!

I taught my first class today at my agricultural high school. The teacher warned me that the kids in the class I had today would be low level (it was the farmer class), but while their English wasn't amazing, they were at least energetic and willing to try speaking. One or two of the boys would even try to crack jokes in English Later my co-teacher realized she had half a period to kill with her last period (the Home Ec kids, who I'm starting to teach next week), so I wound up going in and freestyling it for a half hour, and it went really well. The Home Ec class is all girls, and now I think I now know what it feels like to be a teen heartthrob (bemused, in case you were wondering). Then I came home, brought my sick friend some fake flowers in an empty bottle of Zima (inside joke), and went out for beverages with another friend and had a great conversation about work, life, and all that. Japan, you're all right

Life is finally looking up for me. I'm settled into uni, making friends, and actually doing good in classes again. I feel like I've had a second lease on life after almost dying a year ago. I am loving everything right now and would skip and prance to class if I could. So yeah. Sunshine and roses, etc.

I'm changing my life. I'm testing my bloodsugar like I should, eating properly, working out again, and have quit alcohol for the time being. I'm still unemployed and haven't found someone I want to settle down with for a while, but that's okay. I'm working on me for a while. I'm honest to god proud of myself.

Today is already awesome because I just ran the first mile in 7 years. And beat my old time by 6 and a half minutes. It's still not impressive at all, at 10:30, but oh boy does it feel good to know that you are in better shape than ever before.
