What? Me?

New things!

At a new store, Warden and Eglinton. You should visit.
It's ridiculously busy. I'm so tired. But it's good.
Give me three months to get promoted to my own store.

Still not doing anything otherwise.
No school, no plans, no nothing.

Considering buying a house. But probably not until next year.
Did I mention tired?

Have another new tattoo, because that's how I roll.

Interest.

I'm terrible at this.

I've been making things and doing stuff.

I have two new tattoos, and a whole new level of self-confidence.

I have a sewing machine. I've made wearable items. And I wear them.

I'm going places, but I'm still stuck in the same repetitive cycle.
I'm trying to break that... we'll see.

I want to go to school again. I want to learn something new.

I have lots of ambition and no energy whatsoever. It's sad.

But! I'm happy.

I get cranky on weekends.

I'm terrible at this.

I'm back! Or attempting.

Wow. Talk about a long time in-between posts.

Up first: What's new with me?

I am now an Assistant Manager at EB; well, at a Gamestop, but it's the same thing. They pay me much better now. I'm not at VP/Danforth anymore but am way the hell out at Markham/Lawrence. I know, I know, you're saying "But Carolyn, that was fast!" since the last post I made was about just starting there; but let me tell you: I am such a suck up. And am REALLY fucking good at climbing the corporate ladder.

I love my new store. It's WAY quieter than the other one. But it makes me pretty happy. Also, did I mention that they pay me more? Because they do.

I have played and beaten many games. Last up was Halo ODST. WHAT A SHORT GAME. But still pretty awesome from a Halo-Fangirl perspective.

Aaron and I are happily living together. It's pretty wonderful. He's back at school now for his Master's in Library Science. I'm super proud of him. On a side note: I am still not doing anything future-related with my life. IE:School.

Starting tomorrow I am taking Burlesque dancing lessons which I am both excited and nervous about. But mostly excited. I've been dancing a lot on my own. It will be kinda weird to dance in a room with other people.

Also, I've been going to TONS of rockabilly/psychobilly shows with my recently ex-boss and his AWESOME girlfriend Caitlin. I'm full swing into the faux-50's lifestyle and it makes me completely happy. As a side note: Caitlin has also taught me how to sew and is going to teach me cooking... you know, to be a woman and what not. She's pretty awesome. I have a girl-crush.

Aaaaaand I think that's good for now. I'll be back tomorrow night to update on the Burlesque thing.

A working life.

Apologies for the lack of posting over the last, what is it, 14 days? I've been a busy working girl with days off few and far between.

EB Games is great, it's like working at Blockbuster but less corporate in all the ways that matter to me. I can dye my hair, there are no sales goals, and I still get to do the things I love (like making the walls all alphabetical). Also, the tills are super easy to use and I'm working with video games. My boss and assistant boss are great and fun to work with -- though there are a few incompetent employees that I'm not especially fond of.

Aaron made Valentines Day perfect. I got it off from both jobs which was great. We woke up late, I made breakfast for us and then we did nothing for a bit (oh except sex, we certainly did that). Then he took me downtown for dinner at The Matahari Grill (which was amazing). We wandered downtown for a bit and ended up in a sex store which was awesome and I won't list any details of the rest of the night...

He's started playing Kingdom Hearts which makes me very happy -- I enjoy watching him playing a game I've always been very fond of.

What else?

I saw Watchmen yesterday with some film reps and my boss at the Fox. It was alright but I came out of it slightly disappointed and tired. It's very long sitting at almost three hours. The acting is not great, and they changed some things that I really wish they would have left alone. Bubastis is in it though (not red) and that made me smile, I love that cat. I did sit down and re-read the whole thing the day before though and I wouldn't recommend that to anyone who is planning on seeing it. Other than that it had a great soundtrack that I wouldn't mind picking up (or downloading). Oh and Rorschach and The Comedian were spot on.

I think that's enough for now. I'll try to keep updating regularly (or at least once a week) when I'm not bogged down with working at two jobs I love.

EDIT: I forgot to mention the AWESOME dessert from Dmitri's after everything else.

First Night.

Tonight is my first shift at EB -- I'll let you know when I get home how it went.
Also, I'll be all alone this weekend. Sadness.
