Lol...all that being reliable was freaking me out so I decided to revert back to my old ways and skip a few days...but alas, the draw of the blog...it's like it sits on my mind even when it's not around and tells me that I should be sharing each moment with the world! lol
Ok, so ridiculousness aside, I just had to share that I got a job!! Yayy me!! Seriously, I am really happy, although its back at the retail level its a nice store, the manager and assistant manager both seem to really like me, I like the clothes, and everyone else seems really friendly. Plus they have incentives without all the commission/quota stuff so I'll be able to be all the friendly and helpful I can be and get a little incentive for it! Awesome, huh?
Anyway, so I start next week, coincidentally the same week I start school, so I'm sure next week I will be absolutely wiped out come Saturday night. I'm really going to have to suck it up and be really focused this summer. This will be the first time ever that I am in school and working. I feel so productive, really. I know, I know...everyone does post secondary and work and I'm really not special, and for most people this wouldn't even be a big deal, but it is for me.
It was such a conscious decision for me to not work through school, but I'm ready to take that on now...but its been so long too. So I guess I'm feeling both excited and nervous. What if I'm terrible? What if I end up flunking? (ok, granted I am only taking one class at a time, but still, its one of those reduced time schedules, so I'll be taking the full 16 weeks worth of work in 7 weeks). I don't know, I guess I only just found out, so we'll see. I'll let you know, but for now
Cheers

Sooo...4 day streak eh??
Wow!!!! I cannot believe this! A 4 day streak?!?!? This is crazy! lol...OK, so once everyone (including myself) gets over their amazement at this seeming dedication to my blog, we can move on to whatever new and interesting thoughts come to my mind today...
.....
Nothing. Sad. No wonder I only write every couple of days (ok ok, I know...months/weeks but come one, everyone gets to have personal delusions of grandeur every once in a while! :-p). Here I am looking into trying to get published, realizing that being an accomplished writer has always been a dream of mine that I dismissed for any other whim pretty much all of my life, and I can't even come up with one simple idea for an entirely inconsequential blog? *sigh* poor me. I'm just never very good at the things I try to do...
Don't think I am getting down on myself, I'm really not. It's just something I've acknowledged about myself, much like I've acknowledged I have no ability whatsoever to follow through with 90% of the things I start. You know, I just thought of something, and maybe this occurred to you already, but if I have no follow through, how will I ever manage to stay focused long enough on the idea of getting published to actually get published on some level?!? Maybe I need to stop shooting so high. Maybe I should start with a goal of like "I will write in my blog every single day for one month" and then go from there.
Ok, I make no promises though, because as we have all seen I just don't know how to stick to something, especially once it becomes an obligation. I hate feeling like i HAVE to do something (even if it's something I have to do for my own personal health or satisfaction). Maybe that ties into my absolute disregard and lack of appreciation for authority figures who try to impose their authority on my life. Hmmmm...I'll do some thinking on that and get back to you. Anyway, for now, going to go work out (I've decided I like working out and I like the results so why not? ;-)) and maybe find someone to share this beautiful Thursday with me, since tomorrow is going to be terrible and rainy :-S
Try to take advantage of the sun while you can!
Cheers

Giving Blood...
Ok, so it has come to my attention that if you have had an alcoholic beverage within 48 hours of the time you arrive at the blood bank you are not allowed to give blood. I don't know...doesn't that sound ridiculous to anyone else? As I said to the person who told me this, I think a person dying on the operating table who needs blood won't care that they wake up a little tipsy...just as long as they wake up. And then again, 48 hours??? Come on now
And I'm pretty sure (although I could be entirely wrong, of course) that we have the technology to purify an individuals blood as long as it's not diseased. I'm pretty sure a little bit of alcohol is not a disease, so why make such a BFD about it? Oh, and in case you are wondering why I even care at all (I mean after all, people make up jack ass policies that make no sense whatsoever all the time)this person is a universal donor.
You're going to turn down one man's blood...blood that could save EVERYONE'S life because he had a few drinks a couple days ago? Where are our priorities nowadays? *Sigh* I don't know...I think I am going to make that a stipulation in my medical file "Will take alcohol or drug flooded blood as long as it will save my life...will check into rehab later".Hmmmmmm....I should look into that
Wow, look at me, it's been a while since I've done an opinion piece! Go Me!!!

Random Spring day thoughts
I don't know how many of you have spent any time outside today but OH MY!! It is so gorgeous! It's actually like summer out there. I'm thinking about going out anywhere tonight, absolutely anywhere, to take advantage of this absolutely glorious day!
So I'm going to summer school this year, going to get those extra classes in. Plus if I really want to fast track through University it would be good to get used to the 52 weeks a year school schedule now. Although, to tell you the truth I am really looking forward to summer school in a way. My college course went straight through the summer, and as much as I thought it was going to suck, I ended up having one of the best times ever.
Lazy days sitting around in class, breaks where you go outside just because you know it's beautiful outside...and everyone is in a much better mood during the summer. Plus, everyone feels a little better about being at school, so people actually bother to get dressed and showered every day and does their hair (I hate seeing those stupid lucky on campus students in their PJ pants!). Well it might be that people feel better about being in school in the summer, although I have a feeling it has more to do with the fact that summer days/nights are prime college party time, so everyone is preparing themselves for their parties before class.
So I've gotta start working out. Seriously though. I know, I say this every year, but this year I am going to be all fit and in shape by the time my birthday rolls around. At least this year I am much closer to my goal without having started. You see, I keep losing weight, but then I lose like 10-15 pounds, realize I look SOOO much better than i did and I stop. I think this time around I only have about 20 to lose before I think I am at my ideal body shape and size though, so the goal seems more attainable. Wish me luck..my lazy butt needs it!
Otherwise, out for the job search, although day by day I lose more and more faith that I will find anything at all...it just seems like nobody is ever hiring whenever I am looking, you know? I guess thems the breaks, right? Oh but speaking of jobs I gotta send out a big huge congrats to Desi, who managed to land a totally awesome job with Scotiabank...I think as celebration of all the new money he's coming into maybe he should take me out to celebrate! :-p
Anyways, Merry Springtime to All!!
Cheers

Tsk, tsk, tsk....
I know, I know...this is like one of my worst offenses ever...2 months?!?!? Gosh, it's almost like I don't even HAVE a blog anymore...lol. Ok, maybe if I could really get a following, some comments...SOME indication that someone other than me was aware I had a blog and was actively reading it it might give me some incentive.
The funny thing is many people do read it, and they tell me all about every one of my posts, but they never comment IN the blog...Come on people!! That's why there is a comment section after all!
Ok, ok, so I will end this on a slightly more positive note, but first I think I'm going to stop guilting myself into writing in the blog, and stop chastising myself for missing a few days (months! ;-)) at a time...who cares, when I write, I write...right?
Ok, so good going out point...THANK GOD FOR SPRING!!! Trust me, each few days that goes by and not only does it not snow, but it also stays nice and warm is a day that my spirit lifts like a million percent...I love being warm!
Hope everyone is enjoying spring as much as I am...
Cheers
