i'm superficially stressed about both my jobs, but overall pretty happy at the moment.
i do need to be getting more exercise. i've jogged a little bit, been biking a bit, but it's not enough. oh pseudo-winter and your reduced outdoors activity, how you make me feel like a sleepy bear. i keep having urges to go run right when i wake up and it's all sunny outside, but then i succumb to coziness and nestle down under my blankets again. seaballing...!
i have my enhanced id coming in, and i took care of lots of bills recently. i'm gonna get a new bed as soon as i can find someone to drive me back from ikea with it (my shoulder says yay!) and life feels dealable. oh and i'm almost all applied to school. i really need to be doing something other than working. i'm feeling that restless, i'm-more-than-this heaviness to my days.
things are going pretty well with the boy from the US that i'm seeing. we had a pretty heavy talk the other day and made sort of a commitment to be more committed? kind of? i feel a little ludicrous, like george-michael bluth, "we're engaged to be engaged!" but as a couple-y kinda step, i feel a lot better about things between us. it's kind of hard with the distance, and i'd like to see more of him, but at the same time, i kind of like the romance and tension of it, and god knows i like something that forces me to live in my own life and have my own fun and stay active and maintain tons of friendships, as well as even keep my eyes open for people to date here. i think i've come a long way from the girl who moved in with tim right off the bat and then stopped doing shit with anyone else and kind of failed at being motivated. however, it's nice to have a buffer between my romantic/sexual self and regular, real-life cayley. part of the talk was agreeing that we're gonna see each other more, which i'd really like, and soon i can go there, so, yay.
the olympics are soon. i have mixed feelings but what they've boiled down to is: blame VANOC for the shitty debt and impacts within the city. the olympics, and the athletes, and the tourists from around the world shouldn't see negativity for their effort, money, and attendance. those people should see how amazing vancouver is and how wonderful and warm and relaxed the people of british columbia are. i'm going to make the best of it and enjoy what it brings.
i've been spending lots more time with brian and that makes me really happy. it's in some way really fulfilling to know we have a really strong and special friendship.

i'm sad today that the chili peppers are no more.
i feel like my days are passing too fast with not enough to show for them.
