So, when I updated three weeks ago about the breakup, I was feeling pretty good about the whole thing. Yeah... lots of drama ended up happening. I don't want to get into it all, as now I'm feeling much better about the whole situation, but the past three weeks have been infuriating (moreso than sad - I had long past that emotion, save for a few ( Read more... )

I am back in Edmonton, where it is currently snowing. >.< Ken moved to Nanaimo this week, so I drove there with him last Monday (May 11) and spent a week with him in B.C. I got back this past Sunday. It was such a fantastic week, and it was a little hard to leave. Being in B.C., with the scenery and laid-back atmosphere, makes me want to move there ( Read more... )

Jenn will be moving out by August 4 (that's when she's leaving for Europe), and I still want to spend another summer here. I ( Read more... )

Well, another year has come and (almost) gone, guess it's time for me to reflect.

This year was a fairly quiet year for me - not necessarily a disappointing one, just relatively uneventful. I experienced a couple hard months from working at jobs where there was nothing for me to do, then being fired from one of said jobs in the summer. I took it ( Read more... )

1. What did you do in 2008 that you'd never done before?
Hmm... not a lot comes to mind. Oh, I volunteered with the Edmonton Folk Festival for the first time, which is something I've wanted to do for years! I also enrolled in TESOL and took a road trip to Kelowna, B.C.

2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next ( Read more... )
