Wow. So I went out drinking for the first time in forever... Basically since I got back to Canada......
Also... I dirty danced with a stranger for the first time ever.
I also gave a stranger my email for the first time ever, and he also emailed me back! Hahahaha
How funny! LOL
I got invited out tomorrow night, but I have a huge lab to do tomorrow so I can't go out! Oh my!
I am also VERY trashed right now!
So much! hahahaa
Not as bad as my friends tho! Hahahaha

And I cut off all my hair last night! YAYAYAYAAA

Allo! I am still alive, for anyone that watches my blog at all! :S
I promise! I promise!
I've just not spent a lot of time on the internet since I have gotten back from Japan because of
A) Dial up connection.
B) I use my rent's computer, since my self-destructed!
C) At work there are always nosey people watching you on the comp.

So yes. In wonderful news.... I ordered a new computer yesterday! Yay! A pink one from Dell.... I love pink... Leave me alone!
In even MORE wonderful news.... I move out into my own place in fourteen days! YES YES YES!!!
I cannot wait!
Oh, and my ratties had babies! Which are so cute! I will be keeping two boys and the dad, the rest have to go to new homes!
This is the Mom (Raddish) and Dad (Fatty) with the babies when they were newborn..... I am going to keep two babies and name them Bawlz and T-Rex.

Man, being home is way more lame than I ever remembered. Ahaha. I am glad that I left Japan cause I was done there in all honesty. But I really wish that I could still be traveling. But I am stuck in the vacinity for the next four years while I finish my second degree.... Blah. Oh my!

I got accepted at my second choice university, and wait listed at my first choice. Which is pretty decent. Well, actually they are the same university but they have two different campuses. One campus is close to my home, I would have been able to just move to the city and live with my cousin. She has a three storey house and she lives alone, it would have been nice and would have saved me a lot of money. But alas, that didn't happen. So I am off to a different city (yay to getting out of the countryside - don't get me wrong, I do love it, but to live there constantly can be a bit . . . . very very boring..) a bit further away (not a bad thing). Ahaha. I have a few friends there too. And one is even in the nursing program, although she is two years ahead of me. Actually, one of my friends from here and her boyfriend are moving into the city with me and getting a house or apartment with me. We are going house hunting on Monday. Should be fun! Fingers crossed we find a good place!

I am actually a bit concerned about moving in with my friend and her boyfriend... While not moving in with her, we have been friends since we were ten! So she is the closest thing to a sister I have! But I am a bit concerned about her boyfriend... Just that they might break up and we will have to start covering his rent... Blah. Ahah. But they have been dating for a really long time, and seem fine together... I just don't have a lot of faith in relationships... At all. Aha. I always figure that people change and stuff happens then someone falls out of love. It just happens!

Oh, and I don't remember if I wrote about this or not since it has been awhile... I broke up with Nic! YES. FInally. I don't know why I kept lingering in that relationship. It was not good, for either of us. I think he is doing fine now, he is busy with school and I try to avoid talking to him because when we broke up he kept expecting us to start dating again until I made it super clear (which I thought I had already, but apparently hadn't). And I don't want him to keep thinking along those lines... And I honestly don't want to talk to him really. I am fine with being friends and all, but I have nothing to say to him anymore. So that is that. I am super happy about how it turned out.

Hmm... What else.... I got a new tattoo a few weeks ago. On the inside of my ankle. It has gone a bit wonky cause of the area. It is super cute though. A cat drawn my Ando Hiroshige that is licking it's balls! Aha.
I am going in again tonight. I think I am going to get some small stars along my hairline behind my ear. Should be cute!
In sad news, my piercer moved away! So now I have to find a new one, well, I have been directed to a new one, but I have to get used to him now. I had been getiing pierced by Jon since I was fourteen and got my tongue done! :| Craziness. Guh. I also was taping my ears to stretch them up to 00ga. And I was totally successful with my left lobe. It is now 00ga.... But for some reason my right lobe never wants to stretch, even when I do it slowly by taping.... So yeah. I had my new tunnel in my left lobe, wanted one in my right lobe, and did the worse thing anyone who stretches their ears could do, forced it through (yes, I am competely aware of the stupidity of that moment). SOoooo, yeah, tore my ear up a bit and had to go down. So my moment of impatience has set me back even further, so instead of having to wait less than a week and put some more tape on my plug.... I have to wait for it to heal and all that jazz.... Which it seems to be doing fine now - looks good, feels good. I have been putting vitamin E on it. But I will give it some time now....

Ohhhh...... And man this is long.... Aha. I got ratties!!!! RATTIES!
They are not my little Beet (I had a rat and two guinea pigs that I left at home when I went to Japan, but they all died while I was away), but they are cute! I named them Spud/Sprout and Raddish. Spud is a dumbo male, he is white with a beige head and a white diamond on top of his head (Like a reverse hood?? Not sure what it is called). Raddish is a girl, she is a black and white hooded. Yes, a boy and a girl. Thought it was two girls but I was so excited at finding a dumbo rat (I've never seen one in a pet store before) that I never checked the sex myself! Another stupid moment! Blah.

Blah, and the "love life" sucks. I like a guy a bunch too. But he lives a bit bit bit too far away. Aha. As a minor understatement! Oh my. But what can ya do?
Wow, I think that might be all the major highlights..... Which is good. Cause this entry is FLIPPIN MASSIVE!

AHA! So I should wrap it up!
P.S. Aha, this is dedicated to Rock who thinks I should spend more time on SG. Aha.
P.P.S. This is the beach, at the park, where I work. Since I am at work, I don't really have any pics to attach...

Alright! So I am back in Canada and I am safe and sound! LoL.
SO is my KITTY! She got home safe and lovely. She is starting to fit in now, she still hates our large dog though... And her and our other cats aren't on the best of terms. But there hasn't been any full out fighting yet. So lucky, I suppose.
I am back to work. I only had three days off once I got back to Canada. I returned on a Wednesday morning and went back to work on Saturday morning. Work is super boring. It is where I am right now. We got a computer on Friday and internet, so I have been catching up with all my online stuff. At home we just have dial up internet, which takes forever. But my shift is almost up, so I must go and begin cash-up! So, sorry to everyone that I took forever to write back to. I know I take forever usually, but this time I was uber busy between unpacking, visiting friends and relatives (still haven't seen a lot of people!!), and the computer being slow means it takes a lot of time to get things done.
But this computer at work, and having nothing to do at work, means I will have a lot more chances to get things done on the internet... and to talk to my lovely people!
Tomorrow I work a 1-9 shift again, blah! So I will most likely write a proper update and post!
Cheers to you all! Hope everyone is well!!! How have you all been???

Sitting in Taipei. Being boreds at the airport. Nom nom nom.....

1)Had a great last weekend in Japan with lots of great people.
2)Like always, am late, and almost missed my plane.... But made it.
3)Am worried about my Cat... But I will find out where she is when I hit Vancouver. There is something not quite reassuring when you have to sign a form stating you can't blame the airline for any damage caused to your kitty, my kitty is my baby!
4)Am talking to my Mother and just found out I start work again on Friday... Good thing last week was a week long vacation for me here. I start working before I even have my welcome home party.
5)That's all! No pics this time, le boo!

Woo hoo. So. I am mostly done packing. I just have to finish cleaning my apartment now. Yeouch! That will be tough after the chaos of packing. The next couple of days are going to be packed full of jazz! Haha.
Tomorrow I have to meet a student in the morning and then go to work. After that I will probably do all of the finishing touches on my apartment and finish the flight and hotel reservations for my cat.
Friday morning I have to meet my friends for brunch, close my bank account, take my guitar to the second hand shop, mail a package and wire money home, and switch my cell phone plan to my friend.
Saturday Damnation_game is coming to hang-out in Nagoya. I never thought I would meet anyone off of SG in real life, so it is cool. After that I have to attend my friend and I's going away party... Which means lots of drunk gaijin and karaoke. Haha.
Sunday I have to take my cat to the airport for quarantine inspection. After that I get to chill and do any last minute anythings before I leave SUPER early Monday morning.
I over night Monday night in Vancouver. Yee-haw.
And I arrive home really really late Tuesday night.
So I don't know if I will be on this site again until I am home and settled and hooked up with the new computer or what.
Well. Here's to my last two days of work. Saying goodbye is never fun!

And because I really don't have anything new in the picture world... I didn't upload any holiday pictures yet of the festival... Here are some pretty leaves! I am lame, I know!

Wahhh! Only nine days left in Japan land... I am getting excited about leaving. I took a friend of mine to the airport yesterday for her flight home. I was kind of jealous I wasn't going too. I just kind of feel like going now, since I have been preparing for so long. And packing is just horrible. GUH. I hate packing.
This next weekend is our going away party. So that should be fun! YAY!
Hmm... What else is going on..
O! I got new eyes! Yay. They are fun. I want to get a creepy pair of honey ones too before I leave. But I am scared to drive since yesterday the breaks in the car broke so they only work half ways. It is scary.




Oh, and boyfriend update is that we have both talked and have decided that we are both just different and have grown apart. We stopped really talking which, being long distance, is all we really have had.... So we are both relaxing for the next week and a half and just not worrying about it and waiting to see how it goes when I am home. If it weird, or awkward and we don't click any more than we will walk away. If we click again then we will try to make our relationship better. I don't know how it will go, I am not very hopefull.
But, thanks for your guy's advice last post! I appreciate it! It made me feel better about my outburst!

Argh! I am so pissed!!
I went out Saturday night for an all night party with my friends. It was lots of fun and a good time!
So Sunday I went to sleep at 7am when I got home for the city. I slept for awhile, till like 2. Then I got up, even though I was still tired. I talked to my boyfriend after this, so he knew all about the sleep schedule and the tiredness and we talked for over half an hour.
Yet....... He still called me at ONE FREAKING AM. HOLY CRAP.
ANGER.
Because I rarely, rarely, rarely can get to sleep early. And I was so excited to be getting to sleep at a normal time. I planned on getting up and doing a lil cleanin and getting my laundry hanging up early before I met a friend for an early lunch. And now I will be lucky if I can drag my ass out of bed in time to shower before the dinner.
I have been lying around now for almost four hours trying everything to get to sleep. But once I have slept for a bit (especially 2 hours or more like tonight) it is impossible.
I am SO frustrated.
Sorry to anyone that reads this rant for the super negativity of it. But I just am so angry tonight.
I sent Nic a huge bitch fest message, which is something I never do.
And it felt so frigging good to get out!

The note I sent him.... Which is massively a huge bitch fest. But understand that this is almost a year full of frustration held in because I thought it was best to just play it cool. Which was prolly wrong. I should have just got out all the minor moments of irritation at the time instead of holding it in for a major explosion. But being long distance for a year is a rocky thing.... And flat out honestly my boyfriend is super sensitive. Which is nice sometimes, but when I have a boyfriend that is touchy about the tiniest (and I mean tiniest) things, it isn't even worth the trouble because he makes mountains out of mole hills......

The Note! -

To prove said mountain out of mole hill theory. His response to this message after dating for two years off and on, and mostly on, is
"i dont think its a good idea for us to see eachother when you get back. at least not for a while."

Jeesh! The shocking thing being is that, I am acutually not pissed about his response. Nor suprised. But slightly relieved because now I don't have to talk to him for awhile and deal with him whining about it.
And I admit, there was some misplaced anger, but I tried to explain that in the message, that I was really frustrated and that it was just a huge rant that I had to get out.
Woah, I feel SO SO SO much better.
Wow! I am suprised about how better I feel, I am still exhauted, but for the first time I am not exploding in anger. Plus I just got cute cuddles from my cat.
And I am listening to Citizen Cope - whom makes me happy!
Oh, and on the topic of music. Here are some Jack Johnson photos!





Haha, and if anyone reads all this any honest remarks are welcome, even if you call me on being a bitch! LoL.

Was it SERIOUSLY that horrible of a message?!
Please tell me.
Because I get a weird vibe from Nic lately. For example he told me that he was scared about me coming home and didn't want me to because he was scared that the year was just a waste. Meanwhile, I was only excited to see him and he was part of the reason I didn't take my bosse's offer to stay until August.....
Plus he keep talking about all these other girls lately. How one girl at his school had a crush on him. And how he totally could have picked up these two drunk girls that were "Super Hot!" the other night. But then they found out they were only in grade 10. Which are details about his life that I just don't need to know. Like I don't go telling him about guys that try to pick me up?! Why bother? I'm not taking the opportunity and I don't need to pat him to pat me on the back and say "Well Sar, good job on passing up that cock and staying with me instead!" Because he always makes me feel like I need to congratulate him on his 'success'.
Woah. This has gotten so long.
But any oppions or advice are seriously welcome right now.
How is everyone else doing? I haven't been on SG lately and I feel like I have burned some bridges which I didn't mean to.


And if this post is not lah-ha-ong enough..... I am dangerous without sleep....
Here is my new hair.....
