Hasta la vista Victoria ( Read more... )

I really must break this terrible sleeping pattern.  It's already twenty to five in the morning. Mind you, I was getting up around this time twelve hours ago. Perhaps all my going out must have something to do with it. When was the last night I was sober?? Thursday... only because I was waaay hungover from Valentines Day. Maybe I am an alcoholic ( Read more... )

This morning I woke up with my purse full of chocolate bars and a hangover... Olmeca the culprit.  I left my bike locked up to this iron gate beside the Vietnam restaurant by the Brickyard last night and had the intention of getting it before going to Lacey's house after Lucky. Unfortunately for me, I forgot and some crackhead had attempted and ( Read more... )

So in ten days I'm catching a Greyhound back home.  This town isn't really for me, and the longer I try to stay and make it work, the more it feels like I'm losing myself to this place.  I hadn't really thought about it like that until I met up with Kurt in Calgary.  It was just so great seeing someone from Victoria and being with a real friend for ( Read more... )

I guess you could say I'm in the mood to write. Things have been so crazy out here. This town is so surreal. Except right now all I can think about is how sore I am from working this afternoon at my restaurant and how I have another five hours at six tonight. I keep jumping from one dramatic situation to another out here, which is annoying because ( Read more... )

So I've been out here two weeks now and  most of my money is gone. Most of it has spent spent towards art supplies and books. That and food, alcohol and clothes. I've started collaging. It's actually a lot of fun and it keeps me occupied on the days that are too cold to go out. I went to the library and they have this bookshelf full of books for ( Read more... )

It's so beautiful out here, I don't want to leave. All the streets are named after animals, Rabbit, Otter, Moose. I don't know what a Marten is, but that's the street I live on. I live five minutes away from "downtown" or Banff Ave. I still need to get Alberta I.D before I can go out to the pubs/clubs and you need a job first to show proof of ( Read more... )

It's an elusive feeling, being here right now yet acknowledging that (very) soon I'll be living in an entirely different setting. I feel stuck in some transitory spot and my mind switches from being excited, to nervous back to excited constantly.  I'm making a strong effort to concentrate more on the positive rationale as to why I'm leaving so ( Read more... )

Hmm.  I'm not quite sure how to put last night into words.  One of the best nights I've had in a while.  I went for a 'dinner' at Cafe Mexico with people from Thrifty's. It was kinda sad cause that was my last staff party with the deli people.  It was also so much fun.  I got there and drinks were all ready being orded. We must have pissed off so ( Read more... )

I need to leave this town, it's swallowing me whole.  So November 4th I'm catching a Greyhound to Banff.  One way.  I bought the ticket this morning after talking to my friend Evan that lives there.  My feelings are a mish-mash, I feel excited, yet really nervous at the same time.  Normally I like to plan things out for a while, but this morning I ( Read more... )
