I'm not here to make friends. (just kidding, i love making friends!)
Ugh, introductions. I never know what to say about myself and it's especially odd coming back to livejournal after all these years. I feel like back in my lj 'prime' I would have just been like I'm a crazy Canadian who loves her dog and nerdy computer stuff! I suppose this is true but I'm no longer the 23 year old from those days. Oh my goodness I'm 32!
The general facts about me are as such:
I'm Canadian, First Nations, prairie girl.
I'm engaged to an American, who I will probably talk about a lot because she's awesome and this is the year that we're really going for the whole shebang.
I work at a call centre.
I like watching tv shows, I like almost all things British.
I more recently got really into the Olympics because I love sports!
I don't have much else to say, I suppose I could mention that I'm a recovering alcoholic and that the past 2 years have changed me a great deal. I feel calmer now, like things don't phase me as much. Well that's not true, they do but I get over them quickly as most things pass.
The last time I was properly into LJ I played this harry potter rpg. or rather hp world, original characters. It kind of consumed my life for a few good years, it was so much fun and crazy times! I think that was my favourite thing about lj, was finding a group of people who enjoyed something together and it felt like I had a proper group of friends online, which was really cool!
I think I'll just type until I'm bored typing and we'll see what I say about myself! Okay so today it's very snowy outside as we had another snowstorm and I'm tired of shoveling snow. That being said I'm trying to move to the USA where it doesn't snow as much so I keep thinking that maybe I should be shoveling more mindfully and really appreciating how big a part of my life snow and winter has been! I must admit I really like being that jerk whenever I go down to WA and everyone is like wow it's so cold here and I just stare at them and say well I'm from Canada, we have snow at home, this is nice and mild.
Growing I didn't realize that Canadians said certain words differently, I thought that only Newfies talked differently! I lived there for 4 years growing up. I remember being on skype years ago and my friend Tori asked me to repeat the word Bag and told me that I said it strangely. That and sorry, which I didn't realize either.
I'm currently marathoning House of Cards on Netflix. I watched S1 last year and it hooked me. So far this year it has as well. Some shows I can marathon and some not. Oh my god I just remembered that Once Upon a Time in Wonderland was on last night. !!! I have such a crush on Michael Socha from when he was on Being Human and so that has translated to watching this terrible, terrible show.
I'm a little muted today, and to be honest I still don't really understand what this lj idol business is. I was going to go and look up all the years but really what's the point? Perhaps I'll get into character and post to Hannah's journal. I could talk about Hannah! She's my main character from those OC HP RPG years ago who was basically just me pretending that I was magical. She used to be this pretty crazy 15 y/o and is now like married with kids and all normal. Since I'm easily bored I also have a ton of AU versions of her now, I think Lacey and I counted them up and there were like 17 or something! I was going to enter as her but I think I'll stay as me and just do Hannah on the side. Heh.
Oh and that's how I met the Fiancée. Our characters started dating, we were like btw, I'm totally like my character, then we fell in love and now we're going to get married. You know, over the course of... 9 years. It was a LOT messier than that and confusing and omgiguessthismeansimgay but things are good now. Currently we're kind of having a tiff but a small one and kind of one of those inevitable ones that happen when I get stressed. I'm still in the having had counseling and therapy which turned on the feeling feelings and overtalking about stuff and she's more just moving on and not having to talk everything out. We're working towards a happy medium. Compromise and all of that.
Other Random Stuff:
I used to really like to Photoshop stuff and make icons, I still would if I had the time. I don't think I really do anything creative these days which I think I should rectify.
I have an Airedale Terrier who is wonderful.
Currently taking a french class that i like but I think I would also like to have just an oral class where we talk more because I was in french immersion in high school and I feel like french is just hiding out in my brain. Come on french, get out here!
OKAY THAT'S IT. Hello, this is me. Oh, whoops. My name is Sarah. :)
