What a waste of a uni spot...
So I know I use online journals less than Jesus kicks newborns... I dunno, i'm not one who feels they have to broadcast their life over the internet. I know I have friends, I don't have to prove to myself I do things by writing it out. However, this week was special. One that I want to remember. This week has been so. good. I've finally cut myself loose of some things holding me back and I've made some good memories. I cannot wait for this summer to start it's going to be AMAZING!
Wow. I don't even know where to start! Monday I had breakfast, lunch AND dinner with my family without fighting once ALL. DAY. It was awesome! I'm finally starting to feel like I have a normal home life. I'm not always dreading weekends when my parents are home, and my brother and I have formed such a close bond over the past few months. It's so good, because I was never the type to want to tell everyone my home situation, especially not in detail. I mean I would never want to use that as a guilt trip and the last thing I want from anyone is pity. I guess I'm too proud, or maybe I was just raised to deal with my problems without an entourage behind me 24/7. But nevertheless, I'm feeling like I no longer need those teenage rant sessions that no one can relate to because they're a thing of the past. I think it had a lot to do with growing up and accepting things. And who knows, once you become more realistic about life and realize that no one has the Utopian lifestyle, maybe you'll be on your way to being less self-centered...
Tuesday was the best night I've had in a long. time. Michelle and I got started early. We went to Yorkdale and went shopping before hitting the subway. There were a lot of new stores that were so tempting, but it's nice to know that I'm growing out of the phase where you buy something because you can rather than because you can actually use it. We ended up going to the Pickel Barrel for dinner. Now that's the Pickel Barrel at Yorkdale, folks. Not to be confused with Mr. Greenjeans at the Eaton's Center... imbecile.
Anyway, we had SUCH a good time there, $4.99 martini's WHUT! Our server was straight off the boat... that is assuming her boat made a stop-off in Russia before coming across the border. Svetlana was the funniest server i have ever had. Maybe it's just me being picky, but you'd think a server would know whether or not they carry Root Beer lol. Ah well, she got us hammered and gave me a giant steak as well as the best Pina Colada I've had in my entire existence. Including womb time.
It was a nice change to go out for a show and make a day out of it rather than rushing there, standing for a few hours then rushing home a half hour before the show ends to get home. I didn't even have to be drunk to enjoy my time there. Besides Fall Out Boy was amazing! Even Michelle, who wasn't their biggest fan, said they rocked so hard. They played some new stuff and I was so happy to know I wasn't the only who knew the words, they have an awesome fan base. Well, that is except for the chick who tried to pick a fight with us in the pit. "Oh darling, excuse me, but I think you failed to notice that there are two of us and you hardly make up one person on your own". nice.
Wednesday I got some errands done, got myself back on track with my schedule and spent some time my fam. Also I got that call for another job setup, interview to be had soon time :)
Thuuuuuuuuuursday I was back at work, so of course i hung out with Michelle and Janet, I love those girlies! always good times when I'm with them, it's a good feeling. Franks and Magda came to visit me at workie poo and it was towards the end of the night so i got sit and chill with them for a while. Afterwards Michelle and I went to Colliseum to see Sin City. I have to say, it was the BEST movie I have seen in a very very long period of time. I was absolutely stunned by how good it was. By far the most impressive movie i've been to see this year. To all who yet to see it; you're missing out hardcore.
Friday I worked again, and afterwards we went to the Frigate. it was soo much fun! i've never seen it so packed! sarah introduced me to her guy friends *wwwwwwwink!* and they offered to buy me beer. Damn, the one time I'm the dd eh? figures. but hey. you know it was a good night when the sober one had fun! lol this guy tried to pick michelle and i up at the same time lol. he was like so where you ladies from? and we're like.... florida. the land of oranges don't'cha know? he was hilarious lol, i think we're still trying to lose him. "are you ladies allergic to anything?" "YES. YOU!"
lmao We're such assholes. God, I can't even cover all the jokes from that night, so crazy :)
Saturday I was really craving a slower night, but I didn't really want to chill at my place so we went out for dinner at Jack Astor's after work. We saw the grand ol' party of 10058437507 for Emilie's birthday. (Happy Birfday Vo) I reeeeally want to rent 'Super Size Me' now. Franks has got me on a mission! She came over during the day and we had a nice long talk, it's nice to have a close friend that lives on your street. Someone you can come to to hide out from the world. You're always welcome, doll!
I was still in my pajamas when Taryn surprised my at my door with a brand new style Eclipse. I was floored! It's such a smooth ride and we got everyone's attention cruising the 'burbs lol. I missed that girl. It's even more reason for this summer to be rockin. So many good memories to be made, I can't wait! :D Sunday was by far the best night this weekend. Yeah friday was good laughs but I got sooo much off of my chest tonight. I got off of work sooo early which was perfect because I got to see the new episode of Family Guy. Not that I hadn't already watched it on my computer, but one can never have too much family guy. Immediately afterwards Franca called me saying they wanted to get that party started. Christina and Franca came and picked me up and we went to Williams. It was like unofficial Aquinas night or something. We saw Jason Schaller, Ricky, and all of that crew. Plus Deo, though not until it was too late *loosens invisible tie*. "Yeah see the girl standing at the counter? ... yeah that's Jason" LMAO Franks! You're so classic. It was an awesome night out! It's great to find you're not the only person who feels the way you do. And it's sad when one person is the only one unable to see the light. I dunno, maybe i'm just... wait... jealous? pfft not likely. I don't know a soul who'd be jealous of you.
You know, now that I look back at this week, there wasn't much that was that different. More friends coming home from school, and I feel more aware of where I should invest my time from now on. Besides that it was really just a regular week. Maybe I felt the need to post because I haven't in so long? Or maybe it's just an unofficial declaration of how much one can learn in such a short amount of time. It's comforting to know those friends I can count on when I need them, even if it's at the last minute and it's disrupting their schedule. Thank you for sacrificing so much without me even asking for help, you're amazing and you already know me so much more than some people ever will. I love you and I cannot express how thankful I am to friends like you guys :)
You've been a great audience! I'll be here all week, and tip your waitresses they've been wonderful!
p.s. jimmy's so golden
