Friday Fridaays

I had an interesting day today. I woke up thinking that hmm, maybe i should have a chill day to just lay back and do...well, nothing.
Mother called. She was wondering if i wanted to hang out. Well, i guess i have to because you're my mother...right? No, i'll hang out with you. I guess. If i have to.
She picked me up and i was extatic because i wanted a DS gamew that i lost a while ago called "Magical Star Sign" I know, it sounds gay, but it is by far one of the best RPG's i have played, which isn't very many if you think about it, maybe 3 or 4...but still, its friggin good. Anyway, after about 10 minuites of convincing her i got my way and we went on our way into victoria (WEEEEE)



So we went to Future Shop blah blah blah i was happy for about 20 mins...or minorly ammused i suppose. Then we decided to go get some lunch, YAY red robins! Great salad, server was cute, i screwed up his order because i think i looked at him funny. He gave us many free refills. I hope mum gave him a tip because he he was very nice. Sadly, i think the whole reason he was being nice was to get a tip (but i mayy be wrong, maybe he is just a naturally nice person)

We decided to go to some place called Ogden's point to see the cruise ships come in, it was pretty cool. I've never seen a cruise ship. After the first 2 minuites its not too exciting anymore :( But my mum decided to go on a cruise and proceeded to tire me out with mother talk. It was nice to see her though :P
Peace.

Okay, but maybe sometimes we need a running start.

This summer doesn't seem like the ones i have had before, i don't know whether i should be excited and looking forward to September or if i should be optimistic in case my expectations fall short. I feel that i should be doing something these next few months other than working and well, being a couch potato (which weirdly including being active...) I just feel that there is more that i could be doing right now. I was walking home today and it was a very nice day. I had a great veiw of places off the island and i could'nt help wondering if i should go travelling spontaniously right then. Just hopping on the bus and leaving. Then i realized that i could'nt because one of my very good friends has helped me refrain buying anything and hiding my bank card, great idea but very VERY limiting. Anyway, in that one moment i wondered if i had in fact grown to small for this little fish tank called sidney and if i should in fact listen to myself and explore a bit. I am very much looking forward to the adventures i am having some time this summer.

As for the house sitting that has been happening for the last two weeks i finally got homesick after the dog chewed through my purse, the duvet i had been sleeping on and my pillow, god knows what else she has wrecked. My nerves have climbed and it is hard to find some time to just relax, not that its nice having people around most of the time. The funny thing is that i like to be around people most of my time, i have closed off a lot more than i'm used to.
I got my Camosun schedule the other day. A friend and i signed up for the same course, Early Childhood Care and Eduation, we ended up getting in ALL the same classes, and that is not exaggerated. Pretty ammusing actually. Is it weird to be looking forward to September? Maybe...

Daaawwwww

Cutest love song ever. But cheesey. But i love it.

We should get jerseys cause we make a great team
But yours would look better than mine, cause you're outta my league
And I know that it's so cliche to tell you that everyday
I spend with you is the new best day of my life
Everyone watching us just turns away with disgust
It's Jealously, they can see that we've got it going on

And I'm racking my brain for a new improved way
To let you know your more to me than what I know how to say
YOu're ok with the way this is going to be
This is going to be thing we've ever seen

If anyone can make me a better person you could
All I gotta say is I musta done something good
I came along one day and you rearranged my life
All I gotta say is I musta done something right
I musta done something right

Maybe I'm just lucky cause it's hard to believe
Believe that somebody like you'd end up with someone like me
And I know that it's so cliche to talk about you this way
But I'll push all my inhibitions aside
It's so very obvious to everyone watching us
That we have got something real good going on

And I'm racking my brain for a new improved way
To let you know your more to me than what I know how to say
YOu're ok with the way this is going to be
This is going to be thing we've ever seen

If anyone can make me a better person you could
All I gotta say is I musta done something good
I came along one day and you rearranged my life
All I gotta say is I musta done something right
I musta done something right

Housesitting, Day...two i guess?

I got back later in the afternoon after attending to a very sick friend (get better)I officially brought all supplies needed to stay about 3 weeks. Laura thought it was funny that i brought a suitcase and two smaller bags along. We watched some tv series, i cant remember what it was called, but it was mid evil and cool. Since it was hot out Laura decided to get her swimsuit on and go outside and play with the hose, Rachel and i went with her of course without knowing the conciquences of Laura with a hose XD Sooo we got soaked, and Addie dumped glasses of water on our heads from the upstairs window...soo unexpected. She also locked us out so we rang the doorbell many a time, the tennants were talking about it, i sont think they like us much.



We tried to watch some of My Fair Lady and failed at staying awake.
Addie and i made smileyface fries listening to bach. The tennants officially think we are crazy.
Laura and i attempted to clean a hampster's cage. Not fun. It stunk because it wasn't cleansed well before *cough* Stephan.
Not much else happened today. Addie and I bought 5 hour energy capsules though, need i say more?

There is a present on my bed...i wonder what it is?

So in the past 24 hours i have decided to attempt to live in a house with two other friends. Addie, and Laura. Now i dont know how this is going to work out but its very very good practice. So, my FIRST day there was entertaining. The night was like a normal girls night out. Except dinner was thuroghly entertaining. Addie and i listened to sinister symphony music while making mac and cheese, i'm pretty sure the tennants hate us. We fell asleep later than considered early. I was very frustrated that i could not sleep, so was Laura apparantly. She almost threw me off the bed and threw pillows in my face. I dont blame her, i was mad at myself. We woke up early and attempted to soak Stephans Rabbit's butt in salt water. We had some fun salt adventures as we did not think to use a container of salt to fill a bowl as upposed to a shaker....We chased rabbits for a bit. Their claws hurt. We did our usual shinannigans in the afternoon and then proceeded to go to the butchers to get steak. Unfortunately they were out of irn bru...a dissapointment, but the skeak...omg the steak. We made steak for dinner, well, Addie did. Laura and I made salad. We lost some potatos in the depths of the oven but we saved them fortunately. I think we had a healthier dinner than i usually do. The steak was the best i've ever had and the steak was more than decent.
We became a bit more civilized the more we realized that working together got things done a lot faster. So the first 24 hours went well. I'm back at my grandmas but i will be back house sitting in the next few days. Yay for life skills :P

Belated Fathers Day...

This is in response to Laura's post.
I did a wee bit of surfing and found some really neat stuff on what makes a father a father. Its not intercourse and then oh suprise unexpected baby! You're a father!
I think at that point...you're a "dad" I think you need to earn the title father.
This is what i think/found...A real dad is someone who truly loves you. Now that word love encompasses unconditional love. That means they are always there to help. They hurt when you hurt. That they are human but will admit their mistakes when wrong. That while they will always be protective, they will let you grow while making sure you do not stray to far off course. They do not judge but try to help yet, they will try to provide what is important to you while teaching you responsibility and values.


I think this is the better definition of father. Now, MY Dad didn't always show these values but i know they are there. He never really told me he was proud of me other than once or twice, but those were important moments for me. I thinnk a few times he said that he was wrong, but those are also hard things to do. I had to always work for what i wanted. My family wouldn't just get me a bike because i wanted it, i had to deserve it even if it was a christmas present. But i think thats why recieving that gift on Christmas was so special. It was more that i had accomplished something or got past a major barrier in my life.
I remember i didn't get an allowance like alll te other kids so i started work as soon as i was old enough, which was 13. I remember thinking it was crazy and unfair but now when i look back on all of this it helped me in the long run and as i become even more independant i wont have to be weaned off my parents. I think that however crazyness i sound that i make a little sense. My parents always thought (especially my dad) that the more strict you are with your child the more successful they will be later in life. He grew up with the same disipline from his father, and i'm sure my papa also got it from his father also.
I've never taken fondly of my father until now, i always thought he was harsh and that i would never have the whole "daddy's girl" whatever that is. I always thought that my dad didn't know HOW to be a father. Maybe its time i changed that.
Of course, like every dad he had his obscure moments, maybe more than other dads but that made me stronger no matter to the circumstances. In the long ru i'm glad that my father is my father, and i wish him a late Happy Fathers Day <3

^^

No more highschool ever again. I'm extatic!!
