This time it really feels different having my own apartment.
I love the feeling of being in my own place.
My own kitchen - okay it's shared, but only with one other person.
Not a horde of guys.

I've almost got everything organized, which I surprised myself with, because I really didn't feel like unpacking.
but I pushed through it.
I can't wait to have ( Read more... )

This weekend I'll be moving into my new apartment.
Above ground, with huge windows. <3
I have the same excitement I had last October when I moved into York's Village.
That feeling of change, the feeling of a new page in my story being turned.
I'm not sure if all that much will change.
I remember it didn't when I moved to the Village, but I'm hoping that ( Read more... )

At my mom's I have loads of attention.
Things are relaxed.
My siblings miss me and are happy to see me every time.
Mark's friends come over and they wave excitedly at me too.
"Oh hey you're other sister is here!"

Or when Mark introduces them to me for the first time.
"I told you she was real."
It's a bit of an odd feeling....

Even more odd when adults- ( Read more... )

Are we skating on thin ice?
We go round and round.
The ice cracks,
tripping us.
We get back up,
and we skate on.
Are we skating on thin ice?
The cracks disappear,
as we gain speed
and forget about our crash.
No one stops to ask,
"Are they hiding under the surface?"
Are we skating on thin ice?

So I finally managed to get in contact with Jenna.
She was called into work Friday and she messaged me, but apparently her bbms haven't been working.
She never received my bbms.
This isn't the first time her phone has acted up...
So we talked on msn yesterday to clear everything up.
She said she's fine with any place.
So after I see the place tonight we' ( Read more... )

I was really looking forward to finding a place with Jenna.
I had already gone to look at two places and she was supposed to come over on Friday so we could discuss the potentials.
Also so we could have some girl-talk, since she's been undecided about whether she wants to stay with Nathan or not.
Wednesday I think is the last time I heard from her.
I ( Read more... )

From the few places I've been to as a "vacation" there's quite a difference.
Bermuda had the laid back feeling, everything was relaxed and there were some places to check out, but nothing was overwhelming.
Although we were only there for 2 full days and 2 part days I don't feel like I missed out on much.
It was a good vacation.
It was nice to take it ( Read more... )

In a sense I have become homeless. I no longer have that space of my own, surrounded by my own things. Things where I want them to be. There's no feeling of everything being in its place.

Instead I lay on an old bed with blankets I recognize, but they are not mine. I'm surrounded by boxes of my stuff - waiting to find their ( Read more... )

My life is sitting here in boxes... some in my mother's spare/"my" room, and others in the main floor hallway. The rest is at Monasin's. That's the immediate stuff. The stuff I need in order to function day in and day out. The rest of it is not clearly defined, it's just mine. Some of it is unimportant. Some of it is crucial. ( Read more... )

Thursday my coworkers decorated my cubicle with balloons and a "Happy Birthday" streamer.
I was given a croissant and one of those "blossom" donuts as a mini cake.
Both of which were delicious.
After work my mom and I went to the Mandarin in Mississauga and met up with Craig and my siblings.
We ate dinner there. :)
Mom gave me a card with $100.
On Friday ( Read more... )
