Unbelievable Week, Not in the Good Way

I finally finished The Half-Blood Prince. I am very excited to read the Deathly Hallows. I am actually going to go see The Deathly Hallows Part II again with a friend, non-3D this time thankfully. ♥ I am quite enthralled by the Potter Puppet Pals, and hope to eventually watch A Very Potter Musical.
It has been an awful, and horrible week. Work was my biggest problem. I had gone to work, and I misheard what my boss wanted me to do but I did it later. Then later on during the day I did not fully do my job, and my boss sent me home. This of course clearly upset me, and this is the second time my boss has made me cry. I am not going to lie, yes I made a huge mistake, and I did not fully do my job, but sending me home really never teaches me anything. Rather be understaffed; an unlikely story because I know what it is like to work in an understaffed workplace, and believe me it was busy. I didn't say anything because I am still on probation. We have been nice to each other in the last few days but I must say I feel rather discriminated against as the youngest, and usually only other female on the floor as it is a men's clothing store... I have never been sent home when working at McDonald's if I made a mistake, and we are dealing with customer's food here, they always helped me fix it. I don't mind getting sent home early when it is dead, or if we are overstaffed.
It is pretty bad when I want to go back home, and work at the McDonald's there again. As much as I didn't get along with my boss there I could at least tolerate, and retort against his jokes with some back up. I have never been one to understand or be able to give the air of sarcasm or jokes, and because of said problem my feelings are easily hurt.
Each day getting out of bed has gotten excruciatingly worse... I just do not want to face the day, or work seeing as nothing is going quite right. Sleep isn't coming to easily either.
I miss all my friends home. :( I just want to be home so badly it isn't funny. I can't though.

Days Off~

I have three consecutive days off in a row... I am back to work tomorrow. Would have been nice to have these days off the weekend I went home. I did run into my boss, his boss, and his boss's boss at the mall, and I found it quite amusing.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 was amazing in my mind, that will be probably until I read the book. I still feel bad because I have to read the last two books. I want to re-read the entire series, and purchase the adult books. I think it would be great to re-read the series. I did purchase the two books I didn't read; The Half-Blood Prince, and the The Deathly Hallows. I read three chapters of the Half-Blood Prince, and I am not really impressed with the movie. I have always chosen books over movies because they are more descriptive, and allow for imagination.
I have been working on art here, and there but nothing really major.
I have mostly been gaming though. I do own my own Wii now but I can't get the channels from my SD card to work, and I am not paying for them again. It is quite frustrating, and apparently I forgot the data for how far I am in Trauma Center: New Blood, and it was difficult to get up to that point so I have to try, and get that while I am home. I have been playing random games, here, and there, not really sticking to any one game.
I finally went, and got my necklace from Purolator. I have the worst luck with them because they always come when I am at work. I love the necklace I got from Sanrio but I have never owned a wrap necklace before so I might buy a new chain, and modify it but taking the charms off, and adding it to the new chain.
I got to stop buy the asian grocery store again. ♥ I got some Chicken buns, and Pearl Milk Tea in a can. I have been looking for Pearl Milk Tea everywhere. You can get it in a mall downtown but I wouldn't call it real Pearl Milk Tea. I wish I could go to Halifax. ; 3;
I also bought groceries, and it's a proven fact that if there is someone with me I will purchase actual groceries. I also stopped by Value Village with a roommate, and now I have some blazers for work. We all went to Dairy Queen one night, and it was a lot of fun.
Tattoo in less than two weeks. :o I am excited, and scared all at the same time. It is going to be awesome. ♥♥♥ School in a month, and a week. So many exciting things coming up.

Many, Many Things ♥

I am ridiculously addicted to Sims. ♥ Both my roommates play it, and to be honest the last time I played it I didn't enjoy it because I didn't have any help playing the games, and now I have plenty; one of my roommates is the Sims Guru.
I have been floating around the forum Within Hubris, for the Bendrowned/Jadusable CreepyPasta. Speaking of CreepyPastas.... The Luna Game, with My Little Pony was terrifying. My roommate opened it, and came running to us. We watched the rest with her, and it was quite scary. I also played it the next day on my computer the entire way through. I love ponies. ♥
I now have a controller for my computer. ♥ The best part is it is like the old Super Nintendo controller, I could have gotten the even older one but it has less buttons. I love it.
I am very excited for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, which I attended the midnight screening regardless of the fact that I work at nine the next morning. I also own all the movies now which I got in a seven disc set for forty dollars which was an extremely lucky find at HMV. I am so sad that it is over, I remember reading those books about ten years ago though admitedly I never read the Half-Blood Prince, and the Deathly Hallows
I have reattached myself to Pokémon Black. I am trying to fill the Pokédex in order, and I currently cannot find the other two elemental monkeys. I keep running into the one I have, or Audinos. I did have some help with the rare Pokémon though. :D
I purchased the items for the strawberry shortcake my grandfather used to make all the time, and made some for my roommates. I love my Grandfather, I have so many memories of him from when I was a kid, we used to have so much fun. He is still alive, just in a nursing home.
Work was inventory, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Ours is annual, and we do it all together, I feel bad for the places that do it once a month, and it is only the store manager *cough*McDonald's*cough* I still cannot believe I don't work there anymore sometimes.
I've got to admit I am having some fun this summer. I do miss being a MASSIE Conversation Partner though, and just last summer in general.

A Very Short-Lived, and Disappointing Trip Home

I went home this weekend for a grand total of two days. I usually am home for longer though.....
I was told I was lucky to get two days off, this is because the store manager changes the schedule all the time, I always get screwed over wherever I work. I just wanted to go home for the weekend. My trip was ruined due to the lack of time.
It poured Saturday, and one of my good friends was working the entire time, and we only briefly saw each other. Also could have went to the zoo! I did spend most of my time with another friend though. It was fun we did a bonfire, but the mosquitoes were horrible even though we were in one of those tents that is suppose to keep the mosquitoes out. :P They came over the next day, and we went out for supper, and talked about Pokémon.
I did go out for karaoke on Friday evening though it sucked without my good friend there, I hung around with someone I don't usually like to hang around. ^^' It was so much fun, and I never usually get that into it but I did. The DJ gave me his phone so I put mine, and my friend's number in it. I also attracted an older gentleman. It was quite awkward, he knows my father, who doesn't back home though. :P
I really wish I could have spent more time back home. :< I begged Dad to drive me back, and thankfully he did, or it would have been a huge waste of time for me because the bus was running late on the way home at the transfer stop. I am really getting tired of there ever increasing horrible service when I take the bus. I got home at 3 on Friday, and would have had to leave at 4 Saturday. I could leave at 10:30 Sunday but I would be late getting to work, and it was rather annoying.

Wonderful Day Off With My Roommates ♥

I had the most lovely day off. ♥ It was uneventful unlike many other subsequent days off.
I went out for lunch with my one of my roommates for lunch at Cora's. ♥ I absolutely love Cora's. We then wandered off to our favourite little shop. ♥ From there we went to the mall to get out tickets for Harry Potter midnight premier next week. ♥ I will be going with my two roommates. We are going to the 3D version because the non-3D version was sold out. I can't see the 3D effects, and never have been able to. ^^'
We had to stop by the grocery store before we went home. It was a very warm walk home. It has been very humid.
We sat down, and played Sims for a little bit. ♥ We then watched movies. We started off with the Princess and the Frog, which wasn't bad but it was not what any of us expected it to be. We then watched Tangled. I am in love with it. ♥ It was an amazing movie. We than watched Disney's Alice in Wonderland. I have only ever seen the book, and watched the Tim Burton version. It was very good.
I didn,t really start watching Disney movies until the 2000 era, I have missed a great deal of them, and I am watching them now as I am older. My next post will be about Disney movies.
I had a great time with my roommates, and I can say I couldn't have found better ones. ♥

Getting Time Off...

So I completely missed the convention. Sadly. Maybe not... I am not exactly happy with how it is run, and this year the date was ridiculous. I wasn't going to go, and then I suddenly hoped back in sometime this year... Well I don't think so next year... I am above, and beyond that, and to me it is a big waste of money.
I heard it was amazing from a few of my friends, and the sad thing was I only had to work Saturday.... Yea.... But still financially it is a bad time for me because all my bills art at the start of each month.
I pretty much do a bunch of cleaning on my day off, and that is about it. I have become so boring, wait.... Was I ever interesting to begin with?
I did party with some people on Canada Day, it was fun, but drama ensued so I left.
I am going home this weekend because I was able to get the time off any other time i.e. The Convention, and the weekend after that... Talk about difficult. My Mom is probably going to take me out for Chinese while I am home which will be great I hope.... I have so many people to visit; I haven't been home in a month.

Natural Skin Care Remedies

So I have been trying some natural remedies to clear up my skin, and so far they are really working.
I love Bubzbeauty's tutourials on YouTube, she is my top favourite guru. Oatmeal as a morning cleanser is amazing, and so much better for your skin rather than using drug store products. I am also excited to try the chocolate facial mask at some point. Also I used MichellePhan's Do-It-Yourself Pore Strips. As well I found a simple do-it-yourself green tea facial scrub, and that is next on my list as well.
So many natural remedies to try. I just would really like to clear up my skin.
