Pigeon War and other tidbits
I can't believe how persistent these pigeons are! We've got a full pigeon war over here. Everyday, the pigeon clan swarms our balcony and is now laying generous amounts of random twigs and such all over the right side of the balcony. You'd think that birds try to build nests right? Well the pigeons are not so simple. You see, I think they're trying to scare me with their giant Blair Witch-esque twig pattens on the ground. Everything is placed so randomly and scattered, I'm certain they're letting me know that this is not about making a nest, it's about claiming the balcony. Every day this week, I've gone outside armed with my broom and push the mess off the balcony to the ground and it seems that the more I do it, the more feverishly and randomly the twigs return. Will they ever leave me alone? Also, recently I had complained to some of you that I was having trouble keeping my Dahlias alive. It's interesting because the Dahlia's look diseased, yet the Scaevola in the front of the flower boxes with the dahlias is doing so well. I think it's the pigeons. I think they've sat on the railing and pecked at my flowers until they die, just so I know that they can take things away from me too. Clever Bastards. Well screw it. I'm going to yank out the dead plants and find something else I can plant this late in the season. The only flower I can find easily these days are Mums and even though they're not my favourite, they are full sun plants and have lots of colour. Also, they're selling them ridiculously cheap at Home Depot.
In order to purchase these plants, I need money. To get money, I need to work! I swear it seems every time I'm posting here, one job has ended and I'm looking for something new. Whatever I get this time around will have to be something I hang onto for a while. I've been getting the run around with all sorts of potential employers. It appears that everyone I need to talk to is away on vacation at the moment and will return next week. I'm getting very antsy and frustrated now. I've applied for a training management position at a store I love, to do something other than bartending for now, but I have no idea if I'm even qualified. I guess I'll just have to wait a little longer to find out.
Lastly, and I'll tell you now to keep your sarcasm to yourself Matt :) The plan (for real this time) is to go back to being a vegetarian. I did it for 4 years before, I can do it again. It's harder to do now that I live with a carnivore, but I think as long as I plan my meals and such a little better, it wont be so tempting to resort to meat. I just don't feel as good as I used to and I'm very aware that in order to change how I feel, I need to change my habits. Matt, be supportive! Don't taunt me with steak and if I ask for any, slap my hand and tell me "Only Fat Girls Ask for Steak" that'll stop me. lol Jk, I'm not EVEN gonna ask for any. I'm done with eating your flesh little animals, go.. rejoice. As for you fish and seafood, you're still on the menu, only because in the event that I'm not supplementing my diet properly, fish is an amazing and super low fat way to get your protein. Another part of my mentality is that, if I could catch it and kill it myself, then I can eat it, and I could never hurt a cow, pig, chicken etc.. A fish, I enjoy catching them, and I have killed and cleaned them before. Mind you it was scary, but I could do it so therefore it's edible. I promise here and now, that in the event that I don't stick to it, I will post about it immediately here so you can all tell me what a gimp I am? Deal? Deal.
I'm going to see where the pigeons are. :)
