Home in 4 days!!

Jan 24, 2010 05:40

For those of you who do not know, my job takes me over 2000km away from home, into the bleak and lonely Northern Alberta, and I'm up here for 2 weeks at a time, so you'd be pretty excited to be able to go home too!

Can't wait to see my friends, and hang out and sleep in MY OWN BED! It'll be a dream come true. <3

Ermmmm...

Pretty excited to start getting totally studly and buff for summer. Haha, alright, I'm not going to go crazy, I just wanna shed a few pounds, and  be healthier for the sake of being able to do cool things like hiking long distance, rock climbing and other really fun stuff. I'm actually thinking about taking up mountain biking, but first I really REALLY want to try surfing, as it looks fun, and I live an hour away from Tofino, so why not, right?

Being healthier also means quitting smoking, which will be awesome, because its crazy expensive. And smoking doesn't do anything good for you, so WOO! No Smoking! Yay!

I've also been really wanting to check out this bungee jumping place thats not too far from home. A friend showed me some video's and it looks super fun, and scary. However the one downside is that it costs 100 bones to jump. Why a hundred dollars to fall off a bridge with an elastic band tied to my feet? I could go to the lake and go cliff diving for free! I dunno, something to think about.

A friend of mine wants me to join his text based RP, and I just might do it. Its a great storyline and it seems like it would be god fun, and good practice for the writings. If I do, I'll post em here. :3

Umm, I just started doing art trades on furry.ca, and so far I've done 4. Looking to do more, but I need to post some artwork up here before I start advertising trades and requests.
I have been trying to draw someones fursona, and its been tough. Her  fursona is a raptor/dhole hybrid, and I can't seem to bring myself to step outside the norm for the anatomy of the creature. I'm going to keep trying, as I really want to make her something that she will really like.

Oh! I had tro pee in a cup, and blow on a breathalyzer for my job, after I got off the plane when I came up here. You know what the guy said to me?

"You... are not stoned."

Of course I wasn't fucking stoned. I quit months ago!

When we first walked in, I asked my supervisor "What if I can't pee?" Because I was worried they would hook me up to a vacuum or something. He said rto not worry about it.
The test guy came out and asked us which one had to pee. No one said anything, they kinda just shrugged, so I turned to him with a smile on my face.
"I might be able to squeeze out a few drops for you, if your gentle."

Clearly, there is no such thing as humor from this guys homeworld. >.>

Needless to say, I peed in a cup for the very first time, and after I handed my cup to the test guy, my life suddenly didn't seem so bad.

Was driving down the road last night when I saw some things in the middle of the road. I slowed down and drove past, and what I saw nearly tore my heart in half. There was a wolf lying on the middle of the road,  and standing on the side of the road was another wolf, just staring. The wolf on the road had only been hit moments before, but what dead on impact.

I was pretty angry, because whoever hit the wolf didn't even make an attempt to stop.
I wanted to pull the body of the wolf off the road, in hopes to keep the other wolves off the road, but a car was coming up behind us fast, and because of the snowbanks, there was no where to pull over, and people drive over 100km/h on this highway, even if its covered in snow and ice. Fucking maniacs...

I'm not upset just because it was a wolf. I hate to see any animal that was hit by a car. I hit a deer about a month ago, and I still think about it. Like the wolf, the deer was killed on impact, and did a bit of damage to my jeep, but I was more concerned about the deer. I also hit a raccoon once, but he survived. It was the middle of the night, and I was driving home when it happened. when I saw it, I decided to swerve, as the road conditions were optimal, and i could have recovered if the vehicle lost control, plus I was only going 50. If I hadn't swerved, the raccoon would have been crushed by my tires. As the raccoon disappeared from my sight, I heard a soft thump and I slammed on my brakes, and parked the vehicle. As I got out, I thought I had killed the poor raccoon, but as I neared, it hopped up and ran off like a bat out of hell. I inspected the area, there was no blood, and the raccoon was not limping, so I believe he was alright.

I guess as long as there are motorists, there will always be the chance.

Anyways, nearing the end of my shift, should sign off and start cleaning up before shift change.

thanks for reading. Sorry if it was depressing. :3
