today was my first bad day at good earth. i was a scatterbrain fool all day. it's just so busy; between creb, super drug mart and the warehouse my brain is kind of ill-equipped for comprehending 5 things at once. phew, phew. oh well though, another day another dollar.

speaking of which ($$$) i decided not to go to sait in november. there's just no way that me and jonathan can get by on one salary and student loans. plus the idea of racking up more debt right now is really unappealing. (PLUS the Zoom Airline fallout is catching up with me - i need to find $850 to give to eric's parents). so, we are just gonna be a working couple for now. i look forward to:
- paying off my credit card & paying bills
- sending jonathan to the dentist
- buying some furniture and fabric for bedroom curtains
- going to the quebec winter carnival in february!
- living (closer to) stress free for a while


i have to call sait and tell them the good news.

feed the animals

girl talk, so awesome.

i keep my eyes wide open all the time

when i got back from europe the warehouse i was working at didn't need me back. on my way home from that rejection i stopped at a good earth downtown to drown my job sorrow with a earl grey latte and ended up getting hired there. secretly i always thought i was too good or something to work at a starbucks equivalent but i have concreted the fact that i do not aspire to keep moving up any type of career latter anymore. i really think i could go from random job to random job and be ok with it. my job doesn't make me. i'm awesome.

belgium jah

currently in bruge. only a few days until i return and i can not wait to get back. its been awesome but i´m sick of eric´s snoring and i´m really hyped on a lot of things, including:
- seeing my boyfriend. ooh i miss him too much
- seeing my new apartment
- going caving
- learning french
- finding a new job
- maybe woofing, maybe just moving somewhere cool

anyway, gotta go. bye internet. see you soon.

can't help it.

i'm still busy, still broke and i STILL love conor oberst.

i woke up thirsty on an island in the sea

i feel like i've been a bad friend, and even a bad human lately. so sorry world. i don't think it's over yet though, i'm in kind of a situation that will take a bit more time to work through.

turns out i've been involved in some bad decisions (or more accurately badly timed decisions) lately so now i have to crawl out. i have to work my balls into the ground until europe because a) i quit my office job for lesser paying uncertainty (i have found a slice of certainty in a warehouse position diversified got me so at least i have steady work now) and b) i gave my notice to move in september, despite the fact that i am gone from aug 20 - sept 3. why did i do this to myself? argggg.

plus here's some quick body talk of my own (shoutout angie) - i think i got a stress STY... in my eye. i wasn't familiar with this term before but my eye went all wonky and it seemed to fit the description of sty. also, this is fucked, but for the past like month, my nose has been SOOo dry and painful and boogery. all i've wanted to do was pick my nose constantly. i think jonathan probably has some photo evidence of the nose picking from our vermilion trip. oh except that BOTH the cameras we used stopped working upon return. what. the. fuck. we are cursed... well i really think he is cursed, but i love him so i will accept the curse as my own.

the vermilion trip - yes. it was pretty good. my french joe and vermilion get along great. we got some RAD books for so cheap, some fantastic deals at the closing out SAAN, and i fell on a motorcycle. great times.

but don't worry everyone, i'll be ok. i've joined a strong team (kelsathon.. or jonasey) so it's do or dye. yea dye, i'll go blonde and become an earl's girl. no i won't. what am i talking about.

the owls go

so my first day of General Labour-ing was pretty Purple Collar.
i ended up at veer (an uber hip design company) in kensington (hip neighbourhood).
it reminded me of helping set up for the fair when i worked at the ag society in the summer. doing lots of different random jobs in a day.

today i am not working. we are going to the zoo.

goodbye office job.

the end of an era (tomorrow).

who ya gonna call????

ahh. i think i found a human ear in my back room's closet.

i unwrapped this little piece of old paper and inside.. what. the. fuck was that thing?!
i caught a peek and wrapped it back up and shoved it back where i got it. ughhghghg.
