(no subject)
So today is my official first weekend I'll spend in London, since last weekend I went home to get some tests done....and my plans include cleaning the house before my Uncle comes back from his trip tomorrow, and busing it to the mall to buy some stuff to make Valentines Day gift baskets for people at work.
----------
Speaking of work...it's been going alright. I haven't really done a whole lot in terms of...well stuff. I've been doing a lot of job shadowing and basically just answering the contest lines and writing little things. In April, there is a huge Radio-a-thon going on by the four stations, so I get to operate the boards for that, which should be awesome! I wish co-op was paid for, because I am so dirt poor and don't have time for a job....since I work 9-5 Monday through Friday, and some Saturdays I'm required to come in (which sucks since the public transit system in London blows). Oh well.
--------------
When my co-op is done, my parents and I are going to the bank to get a loan, and I'm getting my first vehicle. My dad and myself want a truck...I love driving my mom's...I just dont want one thats so monsterous because gas will rape me. My mom wants me to get a hybrid car since it's more affordable. I dunno, I'll see.
---------------
So Tuesday is Valentines Day and I'm kinda bummed that I wont get to see Jordan :( I realize and understand its impossible when I work and he is working and we're 2 hours apart....its just that it's VALENTINES DAY...and I'll have to eat supper alone and not be all "ooohh let's celebrate this day"ish. BUt then again, I do get to see him the weekend of the 25th, so that's better then nothing...bah.
--------------
So I have a bus story. I was riding to work the other day in the morning when BOOM! So chick spilt her coffee all over my work pants. Luckily they are black, so you couldnt see it (but i sure felt it). Then when I turned my Ipod on, the speakers were blown..I think its from being in the freezing cold for 20 minutes waiting for a bus, to warmth, then back to cold, to warmth, to cold to warmth. ANyways, that was a bummer...but the biggest bummer came on the ride home when this (no word of a lie) 400lb woman FELL ON ME. THe bus stopped and she couldnt handle the inertia of the moving bus, so she fell on me. I smashed my head against the window...but it's okay I guess because if she fell the other way, a little baby would have been crushed.
-------------------
So things with Jordan are going great. I haven't seen him since the Autoshow weekend when he, along with the rest of the car club guys, came down to Windsor for the weekend. We rented a few hotel rooms and spent the weekend trashed or in Detroit checking out the cars. Jordan and I had our room which was good, because the other guys had some REAL fart issues they needed to deal with. ANyways, we've almost been going out three months yet...and we havent had a single disagreement, or a phone call where we don't have nothing to say. I call him every night before I go to bed when he's at work, and we spend the next half hour laughing and crying (tears from laughing). I think that fact we were friends for a few months before we started dating helps...this is the first serious relationship I've had where I've been friends before I've gone out with someone...and it's a lot better. And I love the fact that he's such a happy person...it's a welcome change to previous people because I am a happy person, and when your surrounded by happy things, you are, well...happy. Plus he has the worst puns and jokes, which go great with my horrible jokes and puns. Anyways, here's a (i would post more, but my laptop is STILL being fixed by the fucktards at Staples, so I can only post one that is online).. picture of us at the Autoshow (with my spiffy new hair):
I would post another one, but its not loading...hrm...i'll try again later.

After reading an old friend from high school's entry, I'm felling kinda stupid today. When I left TIlbury to move to Niagara for school, I pretty much cut all ties with the friends I had back home, which wasnt by choice. I couldn't afford long distance, and most of them didnt have email/msn. Now, three years later, I still talk to one friend on MSN once in a while...but thats it. I havent seen any of my "best friends" from high school in 2/3 years...which upsets me greatly. THese were the girls/guys that I saw everyday at school/after school/on weekends...and the ones I cried over the day I moved to college.
Now that I'm done college, I'm realizing how much I miss talking to these friends...but at the same time, I also miss my Niagara friends too. I had different relationships with each group, but I miss them exactly the same. I really don't know what I am writing about..just that things between me and the people back home have changed so much that I doubt it will ever be the same...there lives continued (same as mine)....
Now I'm afraid of doing the same thing with Kate, Matt, Carly, Jarrod, Kat, Jt etc...These were the people I spent the last 3 years of my life with...experiecing EVERYTHING possible...and I've moved away from them...and once April comes and there done school..they will move away and that's the end of that chapter....it is jsut weird how things go. I look at the best friends my mom and dad have...and they are the same ones they had from high school/college, but they stayed in the same area where they did both...and I didn't and won't be...should I just accept how the cards have fallen, or should I try to change things?
Bah.
