Heyyy how's it going...? And that is how I would say hi to someone I have been avoiding for awhile. Damn journal and my lack of updates. I've just been too lazy really. So here I am, sitting at my desk, drinking a cooler at ten forty-five in the morning. This is what my life has been reduced to. Just kidding. This is a little out of the ordinary. I had to drop my mom off at work so I could have the car, then I went shopping for food. This food I speak of included an apple pie, six litres of chocolate milk, three coolers, and a calandar... with stickers! Well, I'm going to throw a lot of whatever I can remember at you.

      Well, I hung out with Alyssa yesterday. She's living with a room mate in a nice downstairs near Maranatha church. We went out for dinner at Subway and we drove around, went to Value Village, the mall, hung out at her place, listened to Britney Spears hahaha, and looked at her pictures from Jamaica. She and Tim are going to the Meeting Place, and she really likes it... and since she's the same way I am, I thought I would go with them on Sunday. And when I mentioned this to Phil, he said he'd like to go too. So now I'm going to be trying out church again. I hope it works out. If it's interesting, it's the place for me. It's kinda cool that Phil is coming with me. He's been talking about reading the bible with me and stuff, which is pretty sweet. I guess we'll see where that goes, cause we've just been talking about it so far.

      Janelle's a youth leader at Younglife now. That's pretty cool. I hope she can learn more about the Bible and such and we can have some sweet conversations. Definately enjoy those conversations that aren't about assing once in a while. I do have a serious side people. Come now. I'm actually very intellectual. Hahaha, sometimes. When I'm not being a complete nerd. Which isn't often. In other news. I was thinking of doing the LPN course to be an assistant nurse. I wanted to work in emergency or something like that, but when I talked to Scheryl, she said that really the only jobs open right now for LPN's were in old folks homes. And we all know how well I get along with older people. So that idea took a nice dive out the window.

      New idea: Paramedic. I've barely looked into it yet, but I was talking to Alyssa about it and come on! Emergency situations. First person on the scene. Driving/riding in an ambulance. First aid courses. Blood! Guts! Mayhem! What's there not to love? Anyways, so I shall be looking into that. There's even an ambulance depo just down the road from me. And if you work nights, you basically just stay home and do whatever and respond to calls, and it's like $100 a call! Or if you work in the day, you work in the office and respond to calls. Pretty sweet. I'd have like a pager, and I'd respond to calls like a superhero! It would be freaking sweet! So that's the new plan that I shall be looking into.

      I bought my ps2. It was... a lot more money than I anticipated... and I even bought it used! But yea, that's just cause I forgot that I needed a memory card and the game was more expensive than I thought, and then there was like... forty dollars in taxes! Phil got his final fantasy game, which has resulted in him putting gas in my car many many times. Hm, he and Janelle still aren't really on speaking terms which really sucks. A lot. Argh. I went to an "all-nighter" with Janelle and Andrea and for a while -- Crysta. Then Crysta and Janelle got in an argument and Crysta left. Then Andrew came over and there was much goofing off. We watched fifty first dates, (so excellent) and Troy... which is where I fell asleep. Janelle fell asleep too I think. Anyways, there was much assing, doughnuts, and sending dirty pictures to Andrew's phone that night. It was awesome.

      Other than that. I was sick for like four days. Like pretty much confined-to-bed-sick. It was gross. I had the most horrible sore throat and I wanted to die. I can hear a beeping right now and it always scares me that there might be a bomb in my house and that I'm going to die. Also, whenever a plane flys really close, I get worried that it's crashing into my house. Crazy eh? Sooo... oh right, my tire was low on air, so Kayley and I put some more in, then overnight it went completely flat, so Phil put my spare on. Then that went completely flat overnight. So I had to get my tire patched and that was a royal pain-in-the-ass. Even though I got it done for free at Kal-Tire! Woohoo! I like free. Free is good. I'm eating cheese nips right now. They're just so damn addicting.

      Mmm, Phil and I were at the mall the other day or week or something and we ran into Janelle and Andrea who were on a treasure hunt for young life. So Phil was their hockey player and we met them at McDonalds where Phil proceeded to get very uncomfortable cause everyone was kinda ignoring him. Chelsea and Alex were there. I don't get Alex. He's being really weird. Like he'll barely talk to me, and he won't goof around with me or anything anymore. It... like bothers me. Obviously there are reasons, but I'm pretty sure everyone knows what those are. So I won't go into them. But Alex, if you're reading this. I miss you... and anytime you want to "come back," that'd be sweet. Anyways so Alex hates Phil for pretty more no reason other than Chelsea doesn't like him. Oops. Probably shouldn't have said that. Too bad my backspace button is broken. So that was kinda retarded cause he went off at Phil. The guy just needs to chill out. I love Alex to death, but he's changed a lot, and not for the better.

      Janelle got a job at Cash converters, so Alyssa and I went and visited her yesterday. She was very funny. Umm today I am going bed shopping because I need a new bed. Anyone want a bunkbed/futon for like $300? Come now. I know you do. Cause I want a sweet ass... something bed. Made of wood... to go with the hawaiian theme that will be... my room and bathroom. It's going to be excellent I'm telling you. Touchy touchy poo-poo. Sorry, random singing there. So called Nathan last night, just to see how he was doing, but he wasn't home. That was random. Ummm, I really want to go swimming, but since my friends aren't really hanging out... that really sucks. The evil V-day is coming up. Oh how I loathe thee. Like seriously now Valentines day. You can go straight to hell. I don't want anything. Unless it's a little candy heart from Janelle that says "I want you." I'd be down with that.

      Um, my hair is in "dreads" right now, which are starting to look pretty gross cause they've been in for two days now. I think I'm going to shower with a shower cap on. It'll be great. And yes. I do have a shower cap for your information. Ooh, I was listening to the radio and there was a great song on, but I don't know who it was by. I think it was Sum 41. So if anyone wants to get me something, you're very welcome to get me the new CD.

      Ah yes. Phil was over yesterday changing my tire and I randomly had a dream about Andrew the night before so he wasn't too happy about that. Actually he's got bloody knuckles still, but we'll just say he scraped them while he was jacking up my car. That is definately it. Although I'm quite interested in seeing the bench press which is apparently a little... bent out of shape? According to Jarred. Ah yes. Angry boys. I seriously must attract them or something. I swear I'll end up with a nice sensitive guy or something in the end. Hahaha, oh yea. Blah blah blah. So Megan's wedding is on the twelfth of March. Ohmygod. Oh right and my big news.

      My parents. Are going. To Australia. FOR A MONTH! May second to twenty-eighth. So almost a month! That would be over my birthday which is on the fifteenth for your information. And yes. There will be a large "celebration." With lots of "cake." Hint: "Cake" is a codeword. Please don't ask me for what. Anywho, I hope Alex will come, then we can have a double birthday since we never really have. So let me repeat. There will be a "small" "celebration." There will be lots of "cake." And there will be some "real" cake too. What? Anyways, yes so my parents are going to Australia. They're taking Kayley with them. Welcome to my world. Of cheese nips and chocolate milk. Anyways, I'm going to go look up stuff on being a paramedic. Leave me comments. I need encouragment to write in this thing. -- the tishi.
music. that song by sum 41 is in my head
