Home!

Am currently sitting in bed with my EEE, stealing unsecured wireless and telling you all that I have moved in with Aaron!

There's still lots and LOTS to do, but it will be worth it.

Smooth sailing on a fairly windy day.

Things are going well so far, which is nice.
I got an e-mail back from CALC (the continuing education school) and they told me that depending on what I wanted to go to University/College for I would probably not need my actual high school diploma as I've finished all of the mandatory courses. However, if I wanted the sheet of paper then I should take a look at ILC (a night school/online course option) they were very helpful.
So, the school thing is going on a temporary hiatus until Aaron and I get settled into the new place and then I will start in earnest.

Aaron is having some difficulties with things that I will not go into on a public forum. However, this has brought me to the decision to get a secondary job. I know I mentioned that briefly before but now I'm very serious. I've been pushing my bosses for the raise that they told me about back in November and have asked for a reference letter to hand out with my resumes. Though, currently I am still on the finding a secondary 'job I like' and not settling for anything else. Honestly I'd like to work in either a book store or a sex store. Both of these things I am fantastic at. Reading and sex.

What else?
Oh, I'm thinking about dying my hair purple and blond on Saturday with some of the money from this paycheque as my last big 'something for me with my own money' thing. Thoughts?

Short and sweet.

I don't know if I've mentioned it yet -- but Aaron and I have an apartment! Like, signed the lease and everything.
It certainly needs some fixing up and a fresh coat of paint, but it's big and it has a backyard (for gardening which I am SO excited about). Now it's just the packing and carrying lots of heavy boxes part. I can't wait to paint and make it into a home for us. It's going to be perfect... and I know this because Aaron will be there with me, so even if it was falling apart it would be amazing.

Just a small update tonight. I must go hide under the covers and get warm.

Things! Also, stuff.

Aaron and I were looking at apartments yesterday, and surprisingly enough threw in an application today. It's a really nice two bedroom at Danforth and Coxwell with a sweet landlady.

Though, that said, there's a great place at Pape and Gowan which I would love for the location, more than this one.

Anyway. I hope we get one of the two and then we won't have to worry about anything for the rest of the month. I can't wait to paint and decorate and live with the boy!

Oh for the love of...

Yes, God.
That would have been the third post in less than three days with the word God in it -- and we couldn't have that, could we? Not this close to Christmas.

But, Jesus-fucking-Christ, I'm having a rough night. I've got a sinus headache that makes me feel like my brain is trying to escape out of my nose and tear-ducts, and every door I've touched has broken in some way -- though, thankfully not the new safe door (which had to be brought in to replace the one I broke the door off of).
The door at the Fox tonight would just not fucking close. At all. It wouldn't lock and Travis and I tried for over an hour to lock it and perhaps in the process broke it more. Who knows? I'll find out tomorrow night.
And then... yes then, I came home in the hopes of getting some sleep tonight and my own fucking door wouldn't open. My key just wouldn't work. I had to wake up my tired, cranky, groggy, possibly sick roommate to open it for me.
What the hell is with me and doors?

In other news, for about three hours today I deeply considered buying a house in the beaches. Yes. Buying. I'm all grown up now (like hell). Aaron and I sat down (through e-mail) and discussed it, agreeing that 'what the hell, why not?' And then I talked to my mom about the actualities of buying a house and came to the conclusion that there's no way in hell we can afford to do that right now. Even if for some reason we managed to obtain a good mortgaging rate there would still be hydro and heat and water and bills to pay. I need a nine-to-five (what a way to make a living) job. One that pays more than what I make now. I needs some full time work.
Though... no, I wouldn't leave the Fox completely.

But... what to do with my life. What on earth do I want to be when I grow up?
None of my life's dreams are obtainable... so what do I settle for?
If you had to settle, what would you settle for?
How many times can I say settle this blog?

I'm tired now.

I'm slightly not looking forward to tomorrow. Too much to do and not enough time. The Boyfriend and the Roommate are helping my Dad move my new dresser here from my Grandma's place in the morning. At like 10:30. But before they get here I'd like to clean my room, the bathroom, and the hallway so that my Dad does not see the filthy hovel I live in. Also, it needs a good cleaning again. I put everything off while I was sick. Or I put it off because I wasn't at home. Either way, I put it off.

My cat is trying to tear up the carpet right now. I just threw a catnip toy at her. She is unimpressed.

EDIT:
Oh, also, I saw Snarky's family at the sushi place near my work. That is all.

Talk to the bomb...

First off, Shock & Awe was fantastic. Dark Star was/is possibly the most hilarious sci-fi movie I have seen in a while. On every internet communications medium I have written, 'talk to the bomb. Teach it phenomenology.' And now you know what it's from. I want a shirt that says that. /obscure?

Though, as usual, post-Shock & Awe had me working for eleven hours -- on top of the thirteen I spent watching the movies. Yes, that's 24+ hours at the Theatre with no sleep. I still think it was worth it -- even if I spent all of last night with a high fever and a horrible headache (at work again). I think (I hope) I've slept it off today. Went to bed at eleven last night and didn't officially wake up until around 2pm.

I'm still looking at apartments online even though the official move date is not going to be until this coming February. I really can't help it. And I keep finding these gorgeous places that are within my spending limit that will probably be gone by then. It's both frustrating and satisfying. I want to paint and decorate.

I took my cat Locke (or Lockeheed, if I'm trying to comfort her) to the Vet last Monday for her shots... which I should have done years ago but was a very bad pet-owner. I feel much better about taking care of her now and want to do everything I can to keep her happy and healthy. That's another reason why I can't wait until February -- it will be nice to see her nightly and I know that Aaron will spoil her rotten. He loves cats.

I think that's pretty much it for me today. I'm just trying to kill time until Aaron comes home from work.

Excitement!

Aaron has agreed to move in with me. Wait, that sounds like I was forcing him. Okay, Aaron has decided that we should be living together. Does that sound better? Yes.

I am beyond excited. I'm so excited that I want to pick out furniture and colour schemes. I have been thinking about nothing else except all of the weird domesticated things I would like to do in our apartment. Simple things like... I want to make him dinner, or, I want to buy the newspaper on Saturday's and do the crossword at the kitchen table. This is absolutely nothing like me, and I love it!

Just a few hitches, of course, like always. But hopefully nothing too big. I want to be living with him in January, February at the latest... of course, I have a roommate currently and I don't know how he'll react to this -- but! this is what's best for me, Aaron, my cat, and also this wonderful relationship I'm in.

Oh, I need to calm down... it's still months away. I certainly have to start saving up money for first and last again.

Otherwise, things have been good. Spent some time with my brother and his wife/kids on Friday. Had a fantastic lunch with my mom on Friday afternoon at Mahari (or something that sounds like that) downtown -- I had chicken curry). Saturday I spent with Aaron. We went to see Repo! at the Bloor... it was way too busy. I didn't get in, but I got a VIP pass from one of my bosses and that got Aaron in at least. And then we went for a walk downtown and it was an absolutely perfect night. 10/10.

And now, now I need sleep. For, I have to wake up early to catch Neil and talk to him since the morning is the only time when we'll both see each other.

Good night, and all that.
