School, Work, and Hobbies

Life has been rather slow as of recent sadly. It is only the beginning of the year too.
I have mostly worked on my school work, gone to school, and work, and gotten sick once.
Work has been really slow, and I am not even working the Buy One Get One this week at all, which means I have the weekend off. A rare, but lovely occasion though I would rather be working sadly.
I have been just chugging through my reading list, and I am now upon a book that around a year ago I ended up rage quitting because I could just not bring myself to finish the book because at the time I felt it was slow. I am going to finish it this time though.
I am just in love with the Hunger Game Trilogy. It was such a great series, and I am very excited for the movie in March.
I have begun to watch Lord of the Rings for the first time ever, and it is the super extended version I have been watching. I really want to read the books, and read The Hobbit before it comes out in December so I have plenty of time.
One of my roommates, and I traded bookshelves, and it is two of the ones I had, and I still need another bookcase! It is insane, but the other one will have less on it so it can be used for more than books after I purchase it.
I have also been watching TrueBlood, and I love the series. It just gets weirder, and weirder but I still love it. I just finished Season 2.

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.

Confidence Issues

I can read tarot card, though I only do yes/no questions so far. I use the book to read deeper into the cards. Sometimes you won't like the outcome, and sometimes you will but they have never been wrong with me.
I have been in a really bad mood today, and to top it off I walked to work in the snow... There was no snow on the sidewalks yesterday, and it is the second day of spring. I am also walking through a wall of confidence issues again.... I am back to square one with all that brought on by dating. I am so weird, and awkward. I have zero confidence. :(
I lost the will to play Pokémon Black, I just got bored, a normal thing for me. I get on a kick, then it goes away.
Work has been work. I am lifting things I really shouldn't be, and I am starting to feel it sometimes. I am going to keep doing it though probably. It makes me feel useful.
This downer will go away, it comes, and goes with me... A lot.

Quiet Days At Home

I enjoy the days sitting at home, playing video games occasionally; Harvest Moon, and World of Warcraft are my top two favourites. I also enjoy curling up, and reading books, I am currently trying to read the Mortal Instrument Series by Cassandra Clare, and The Infernal Devices, as well as the World of Warcraft series by various authors.
I did go out last night, but I guess I cannot really stay up late anymore. I went to the University for a Semi-Formal dance with friends, it was fun, and the DJ was amazing. We went out for supper beforehand, and it was really fun.
I am really hoping for an exciting week outside of work. Next week I am going back to Martial Arts, it has been two years, since I quit when I started working. This should be fun. This week is my friend's birthday, and that is Friday.

I Have a Little Bit of a Life at the Moment

Currently Reading: Sense & Sensibility by: Jane Austen
Last Movie Watched: Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle
Last Television Show Watched: The Cake Boss
Current Video Game: World of Warcraft

Working full-time does not mean I have a set schedule, it just means I work 3-5 at least 8 hour shifts if not more with smaller shifts. It leaves me time to sleep, and not do much else. But I got to do stuff this weekend.
I had a girl's night with my friend, and her mom. We watched the Prince, and Me 1, and 2. They should have used the same actors for the second one, the first one was better. We also watched Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle which is full of fake stunts.
They have a chinchilla, and I am in love with them now. I really like them, they aren't as annoying as guinea pigs.
Did some art. Watched Cake Boss, his cakes are amazing! Also watched Gimme Sugar Miami, which was interesting.
I have to read Half Blood Prince, and the Deathly Hallows from the Harry Potter series. I rather read the books, and then watch the movies. I read/watched Order of the Phoenix last because I remember crying when they killed Sirius.
I am so happy I have time to read, and what not. Also play WoW. One of my friend's wants me at Level 80.
This week I plan on visiting my high school to see the art teacher, getting my contacts on Friday because that is the only day the optometrist is open, and going to Midnight Madness Friday night. Might go have hot chocolate some night.
I am working on thinking out costumes for next year. I really want to do Kobato Hanato, from Kobato, but she has so many outfit choices.

Halloween Weekend Vacation

I was away for a week! It was great! (Minus work calling)
I left on the later bus Thursday afternoon, instead of in the morning. The bus arrived at it's destination ten minutes late, but oh well. Also it is the later bus that connects to the city, and it never is usaully busy, well it was that day. My friend picked me up, and she was driving her brother's car, so I didn't recognize it because I hadn't seen it before. We hit this freak hail storm (ice pellets if you want to be politically correct). It was insane, and coming down quite hard. When we got home their dog almost knocked me out again. They have a new kitten because their cat disappeared two months ago. :(
Friday I wandered the town, and got lost. (Nothing new there). I was looking for the art store, and I went the wrong way, I was looking for another store but I forgot where the street was, and kept walking in circles for most of the day. We went out for some awesome spaghetti for supper with some others, and then we went to this fantastic haunted house tour fundraiser. Someone left face crayons in the bathroom so we drew the rainbow lines on our face, and we joked around about screaming rainbow when we were scared. It was very well done, and very scary. It is a great fundraiser. We went to a party but it was quite boring. We got ready at another friend's house, and I left half the stuff I needed where I was staying. I spent a few days reading at their place, reading Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking glass which I finished. I started reading Sense and Sensibility. I got in trouble for loitering at a mall... D: I was reading but since I am not from their I don't even know the rules of the mall, or the fact that the mall had rules like that. We went out one night on the town, and it was some great fun. I kind of figured out the Metro Transit system there too.
I met up with my cousins one day, and we out for lunch. We then went to visit graves of some of the family, my Father's grandparents (My Great Grandparents), My Great Aunt, and Uncle, and another two that I don,t know the relation. Also we went to a cousin's grave that passed away last year... After his death I find that my Father's side of the family fell apart.
Good news. I got accepted to New Brunswick Community College of Craft and Design. The letter was sitting on my bed when I got home. I start in Fall 2011. I am very excited, and I hope to be moving in January.
I cannot believe it is already November. I am very excited for 2011.
