Okay Blog, you deserve a better blog.
The last time I was here, was back in April? OUCH.
Since then, 5 months have passed. So I guess this post is an update post on what's been going on since I last abandoned this slightly awesome, partially shiteous blog of mine.
I spent my summer, how I always spend my summer's -- at home hibernating. Except this year was slightly different. I actually made an effort to hit the gym and I got real serious about it too near the end of the summer, which helped me fit back into all my old pants again! YAY! I'm still having an eternal battle with a pair of jeans I bought from XXI last year but I've folded them neatly and put them on a shelf in my closet. Looking at them depresses me, and I'm already mildly depressed -- I don't need more depression to deal with.
In my last blog, I said that I had plans to go to California. That didn't happen. Which saddened me at the time, and which continues to sadden me now. I don't think I'll ever go there with my parents, since y'know, my travel dreams aren't a priority to them (or anything else that's important to me for that matter) so now its time to search for a new travel buddy :)
What else did I do this summer... hm, oh my hair grew a little :) I'm still aiming to get my hair down to my shoulders by March of next year and I'm planning to perm my hair in December (can't wait to see the growth). I went on another lamesauce vacation with the family to Barrie since they're too cheap to go somewhere cool. I woke up at 2 in the afternoon everyday and stayed inside and occasionally went to the swimming pool in an oversized t-shirt and shorts.
Hmm... I also got hooked on HIMYM and Ugly Betty. Betty & Henry (although slightly boring) are my OTP forevaa. I also coached a girls soccer team and we came in 1st place since I'm like the greatest coach ever (ha, all credit goes towards my dad actually) I just sat on the bench and talked to all the girls and ate the oranges.
I saw a few people over the summer, tried to jobhunt with Caysie (and failed) as I couldn't find anything fulltime. Caysie & I also camped out on a motherfucking folding bench for the Jonas Brothers, which was both equally awesome (seeing them live part) and terrible (being in line with a bunch of druggies). Oh and I went to their concert with Jasmine, and Honor Society's too, Alexander Noyes has an all access pass to my pants any day of the week btw hahaha.
Summer music discovery's? The Script. I love their entire album but Breakeven, Talk You Down, I'm Yours and Man Who Can't Be Moved are my favourite tracks. Check them out :)
I guess this is the part where I talk about my goals for the school year which are pretty much the same as last year: make it out alive and try not to get distracted. Distractions come in many forms, like facebook, partying.... boys but since I'm doomed to becoming the cat lady I don't think that'll really be a problem. I have a tendency of attracting pervy older creeps or total FOB's. I have given up on love (for now) and wish Disney would stop forcing the ideal into every girl's head that someday my prince will come/prince Charming is so awesome/Charming will never hurt you because I've seen people's Charming's turn into the Cruella Deville's or Scar's (who is awesome btw) or Ursula's. It would also help if Taylor Swift would stop giving girls false hope; just because you think someone belongs with you doesn't mean the feeling will automatically be reciprocated; I learned that lesson which I the hard way.
Maybe this is why the concept of "no strings" is so desirable to many people, once you leave your heart out of the equation things appear so much easier at first, until the heart unannounced decides to insert itself back into the equation messing everything up.
Hm, would I ever want a no strings fling? Yes and no.
Yes for the benefits and recklessness that comes with all of it.
And no, because I know myself too well and know that things will end up badly because I'll be the one that starts catching feelings and begins to think about stuff like "where do I see us going in the future?" Ughh. I'd try to act like I don't care, it's just two people having fun, whatever; but unfortunately the romantic optimist in me would be dreaming of real dates and vacations, futures, family and other romantically vomitrocious (ps Dictionary, this is a word coined by Muffy Crosswire on Arthur in yo face, stop giving me this red line fuckery) ideas.
But how about I save my non-existent 'love life' for another rant way into the extended future like....never.
Time to get back into marketing, I forgot how good it feels to just write and let off some steam. Its therapeutic almost, even if no one's listening -- or reading...whatever.
