Doctor Who remembers

Last night I watched the new Doctor Who Christmas Special. I forgot just how much I love this show. 

I need to get cable again </3

I'm Coming Home

I am back in my hometown for Christmas vacation! It is so nice to be home. Everything is just falling into place naturally as if I was never gone. The trees are covered in heavy white snow and the small streets are packed with seniors driving 40km/h.

Ah, it's good to be back.

There are a few things that are different however. I am mightily missing a certain individual from Edmonton. When you go from talking and interacting with someone so much to texting only...it sorta sucks. I'll see them soon though. I also no longer have a bedroom here. I am a nomad! I don't so much seem to mind however as much as I thought I would. My room is in Edmonton now.

We still have the same crooked tree here and my lovely fat kitties. I have been home for less then 3 days and already have had a dentist and orthodontist appointment (gross) Seen some of my best friends and stayed out until 5am. I have also eaten garlic fingers. SWEET MOTHERLAND GARLIC FINGERS AND DONAIR SAUCE. West coast, get on that, okay? Seriously.

Tonight my sister arrives and me and her have free run of the house. I have expertly put the Christmas lights up on the tree as always I am the Queen of Tree trimming around here. We'll see if we can't decorate with some bulbs before we fall asleep. Tomorrow morning I will be going to the local Saturday market here where I will proceed to eat my weight in all of my favorite home made foods that I have missed so much. List as follows:

8 trillion samosas
Chinese noodles and wontons
Pork schnitzel
Buffalo burger
Steak on a stick
Spring rolls

I want.

My other sister who is arriving next week has also requested a few things. I will basically be filling a bookbag.

Cheers! Happy early Christmas!

Hello Nutso

Hi hi hi! I am dropping in for another quick update here. I am joyfully awaiting Christmas - only 8 days until I am flying home!

I am planning a small Holiday party for this coming Saturday for my co-workers and am so very very excited! I've been gathering some decoration ideas, food and drinks too. Party planning is FUN!! Someday I will be an excellent house wife. This shit just drives me. All I want to do is decorate and plan and prepare. Tonight I will be tripping to Canadian Tire and Superstore.

I have been reading an excellent book also recently called The Egyptian. The person who lent it to me is very special to me, and this just makes the read even more enjoyable. It's an old book, I've already torn off the cover and the edge binding by accident - someone give me the number of a book repair shop ASAP please!

5 more work days and I am a free bird. See you soon you filthy animals.

Finally - please follow the link to a superb cookie recipe, here.

Just dropping a line

Hey guys - just stopping in for a quick update between lovely book reading and watching Little Women. This week was full of wonderful things, business at work, celebrating birthdays, making friends and enjoying the snow.

I miss everyone right now so badly and am comforted in the thought that I will be home in less the 20 days. These days will go by quickly. I have already begun packing my bags in my head. I cannot wait.

Love to you all - things are well :) Hope you all have as much snow as we do here! My apartment just put up Christmas lights all along the iron fence that rings around the building. All smiles.

Good Sunday morn to you!

I think I am finally clear of sickness - my body has been resourceful enough so that I didn't get any flu symptoms other than being over tired and cranky. And seems that my sister is cured as well! Speaking of cranky - an 'Anonymous' mean person has been leaving hate comments on my blog.

Really.

Really.

Someone has too much time on their hands to go twice out of their way to comment on my last blog post. I wasn't going to acknowledge it but I guess I want them to know it does actually hurt my feelings - and this is my blog, right? So I get to talk about whatever the fuck I want to. Whoever you are, because of course you posted as anonymous - admitting who you actually are would mean admitting to yourself and the world that you are a bully. Being unfriendly and hurtful is being a bully. You have bullied me. An opinion is an opinion, but saying purposefully hateful things is very different. And success, you've been heard so can you please go back to living your perfect little life and never let me or my worries cross your minds path again? It would be very much appreciated. Thank you. Sincerely, me.

Moving on - I went to the movies with my friend from work: Skyfall, and it was excellent! I am not a huge fan of James Bond, but I loved the music and the cinematography. And Daniel Craig's chest - aholay crap. Be more ripped. Do it. Dooo it.

This weekend has overall been tiring but good. Lots and lots of Christmas presents bought Friday and Saturday, two birthday parties Saturday evening and some volleyball today. Does anyone else just friggin love buying Christmas presents? I am looking at everything right now, just can't wait to give it to you guys - one month (less than!) until I am visiting home with my family and friends!

I just love you guys.

Flu Symptoms

Tired: I have been feeling so fatigued lately, beginning last week and this week terribly. I am most definitely coming down with something. This feels worse than when I had mono.

My sister (and room-mate  had similar symptoms of fatigue last week and she was out of work this week two days puking her guts out for seemingly no reason. So I am basically waiting for this flu to catch up to me and just get it over with.

When you get sick or don’t feel well does anybody else get really depressed? I just feel so unhappy at this moment. Honestly I’ll tell you I am in need of a boyfriend right now because I think that would make me feel better. I mean a secured bf not someone I am dating because when you're dating someone you're still in that really nervous stage all the time where you don’t want to seem too needy. This is one of those times when you just want to have someone to be holding you or bringing you water or soup or just cheering you up and making you feel better. That’s so important.

That I currently do not have. And therefore I am depressed. Yupp – just call me Bella Swan and fuck you all! Seriously though, I had an amazing day today and my friend here really helped me out. I have been trying to get my winter tires put onto my car for the past month but it is like crazy out here I mean last turkey at the grocery store before thanksgiving crazy to try and get an appointment at a place to get your tires switched. I have been nervously sliding my way around town for weeks now on my summers. Today my friend found me a place to go, drove me home to get my car, actually went with me so I wouldn't have to go alone, waited there with me and came back with me. It was the sweetest thing. It was so thoughtful, honestly, he did it all himself I didn't even ask him to he just knew I was stressed out about it so he called around and got me an appointment at this random garage. It was even done for less $$ than if I would have made an appointment for a month from now at Canadian Tire. Instead of going back to work we went on a driving adventure to this house he is taking care of and ended up taking hours out of our work day in total just talking and stuff. This, my friends, is a good friend. Yes. See this is why I should not be feeling sad or depressed today! It makes no sense! Anyway, I have actually had a good day, but I still feel like shit. Thank you random Edmonton flu situation for making me feel depressed and needy for no reason whatsoever. OH and also I have my first hang out with some guys from work this weekend – other than going out after work or at lunch. I am excited we are going to see Skyfall. I am like a child excited because these are friends that I made without the aid of my sister in Edmonton. Yes. This is happening. Finally. Haha, well let’s hope so. And this is turning into the longest blog about nothing ever.

ONE MORE THING guess who I added on facebook last night when I couldn't sleep?? OH YES Mr. Colin Boyd. HAHA! Back from the grave. Actually I am really excited to talk to him again see where he is in life. This is what I mean about times changing, and people changing (check my twitter feed). I was reading old blogs last night looking back at my relationship with that guy and just cringing. And now I have zero feeling about it so it is great!! This. This is how I wish all relationships were. I am tired of feeling feelings, because there is just always too much drama. CUT the drama.

Oh, I wish.
