I MADE FRIENDS!!!

So my last post was about Harry Potter, and now here's another post about Harry Potter. Because I saw it again and OH MY GRASH, GIRLS. It was soooo good again. There was like, no one in the theatre though which is odd seeing as it's a big deal and has only been out for a week and everything. Ah well.

I went with my new friends! Dustin and Bryan. FINALLY people I can be ME around! I thought I would make friends at work but then it turns out I have ZERO in common with them ... Alex is my one and only man and I'm sooooo in love with that little cutie, and since he can't move here just yet and the girls at work are all single and go home with a different man every night, so they're all "Let's go for drinks!" and I'm all "Sounds like fun!" and the first time I was kinda shocked ... we were sitting around the table just chatting, then all of a sudden one of them was like "Oh see the guy in the black? I'm going with him tonight!" Then they turned to me and asked me who I wanted, and I'm like "Dude .... I got a man I don't need NOBODOY else." .............. "Oh but he's not here, not like he's gonna know."

Me and my friends are not like that! I've never actually hung out with someone who was that desperate to get an STD. I mean ... I know there are people who like to do that kind of stuff but it's just never been for me and my friends ... we're a little smarter ;) But no, if that's your lifestyle then whatevs, I'm not going to judge, but I just can't imagine being that way. It's just not quite ..... wholesome ... and I don't care if Alex isn't here, I'm his girl and only his. And GUARANTEED if I went ahead and did that, he would find out eventually. I've never heard of anyone getting away with cheating.

Anyway, those are my thoughts on the matter. And that is why I just don't know if I can be friends with those girls. Don't get me wrong, they're totally cool and super nice and everything, but like I said, ZILCHO in common HURR HURR zilcho...

BLAH BLAH BLAH BACK ON TOPIC ...

Dustin and Bryan are friggin hilarious. I feel SO much better hanging out with guys than with girls and ALEX - I appreciate that you don't get jealous of that fact :) You're awesome babe and I miss you. I hope Alex likes these guys too. I think he will ... maybe we can form a new posse since we'll be here without Torrance and Romer. Torrance would be Bryan because he fell asleep twice during Harry Potter, and Romer is not either of them because neither one did anything that reminded me of Romer really. I mean aside from the fact that falling asleep during an epic movie is something that Torrance would do, neither one is like Torrance either. But I still had a blast with them and now I can go to the bar to just chill and play pool rather than dance until I'm the only one left at the club because I haven't let any guys pick me up and now I have to get a $40 cab home ALL BY MYSELF. Yeah. It's happened. >:(

Where did I meet them? At church lol

Harry Potter!

Harry Potter! Harry Potter! Harry Potter at midnight!

What a good day! I had I think, 10 or 11 clients so it was considerably busier than yesterday for me. Lots of walk-ins in the afternoon. I had one little girl who was the cutest, most hyper, crazy, funny girl I've ever seen. It was hard to cut her hair ... but at least she was adorable. She had long hair when she came in, but she had cut a big chunk off of the side so I had to cut it all to about half-way down her ear. It ended up suiting her very well and looked so sweet. She was so giggly and funny, probably the highlight of my day haha.

Waking up this morning was BRUTAL though. There's no heat in this basement and having to crawl out from under the covers at 6:30 in the morning is no fun. No fun at all. But it ended up being a great day at work and I am quickly settling into the groove of things, and it makes me excited for tomorrow!

Also I found this picture that I had taken of myself with my webcam on the day I graduated. The last day when I was actually allowed to do my makeup like this and not have all my piercings hidden ... alas, work has forced me to become a "weekend goth" (although I work every weekend, so I guess it's a weekDAY goth .... but you know what I mean).

I am now relaxing and watching the Pirates of the Carribbean ... it just skipped a little bit and now I am sad :(

OH YEAH also, I saw a jack rabbit on the walk to work this morning. Pretty much my walk goes like this: urban area/houses, big horse paddok, city park, city ... yeah, a huge horse paddok in the middle of the city pretty much. That's why this place rocks.

First day of work

I just got home from my first day at work ... it was fun! And looooong ... 11 hours if a looooong shift. But I would rather four eleven hour shifts and three days off over five eight hour shifts and only two days off. So I think I can easily get used to it...

Yup, so I moved here on Tuesday and am living with my Auntie Pam right now until I'm settled and can find another place to live. Alex isn't with me yet, he had to stay behind but he will be here for the July 15th weekend for Harry Potter of course, and to look for a job and check out the school he wants to go to. Hopefully he will be here by August/my birthday!

Anyway, now that I've started my job, I think I will be able to get more into the swing of things and hopefully be able to update this blog more often. I've been in a much better mood now that I've left that silly town and that certainly makes me want to blog more ... when I'm in a bad mood there is nothing that I would want posted publicly on the Internet that goes through my head ... so it is definitely a lot easier to blog now that I'm able to be happier. I try to stay positive, but honestly, I think I'm one of the biggest pessimists out there. I find it so hard to look for "silver linings" and such and I have a lot of fears that I honestly think were thrust upon me just from being in a town where I never felt sincerely accepted. But I'm away from all that and I just want to completely restart my whole life. I'm living in an absolutely gorgeous city, I'm engaged to the man of my dreams (hehe <3) and I'm ready to make some new friends. I'm going to start over and be a more positive, bold, fierce Blythe.

Got a job!

At a lovely salon 7 hours away from this little ol' town... that's right! Blythe is moving to the city! I write my final exam on Wednesday and leave the following Monday! Til then... gotta study :/

WELCOME TO JUNE

Take THAT, global warming.

Lately, I find myself missing my long hair a LOT. But I suppose this could just be one of those phases, I always switch back and forth between loving my hair and hating my hair. Though I think I would like my hair a teeny tiny bit better if it was a teeny tiny bit longer. Ah well. We just have to be patient I guess.

I also find myself missing my camera cord a lot lately. The only alternative is my webcam, and my only webcam is the one attached to my laptop, so naturally it is the worst possible quality. I think I look positively spooky in it ...

Everyone still around?

Here I am, run inside after an absolutely GORGEOUS day, now cowering from the thunder/lightning/hail storm now raging outside. There has been a thunderstorm every day this week, but this is the first time hail has ever been in the picture. It's died down now, it's only pouring and a little bit of thunder. I just wish this weather on other parts of the province ... there is a province-wide fire ban due to forest fires all around the area ... and about 60% of a town a couple hours away has burned to the ground, leaving a large portion of their population homeless. I can't even imagine ... but I've been praying for God to send them some of our weather.

Speaking of God, I'm still here ... guess I wasn't good enough for Him at the time of the Rapture yesterday. Although, everyone made it to church this morning, and you'd think in all those people at least someone would have evaporated out of their clothes. So I'm thinking ... the guy who did those calculations is a slight nutcase. I wonder when the next Rapture is ... not til December 2012 I guess. I'll just have to be gooder in time for that world ending so I can be saved ...

Just got back from seeing Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides... it reminded me of Harry Potter. I was disappointed in Blackbeard ... he was more of a wizard than a pirate and had a crew of dummies. You'd think the terror of the seas would have a legit badass crew, wouldn't you? And I don't know ... the whole movie just reminded me of Harry Potter for some reason. It was good ... just different from the other Pirates movies. That's all. And I don't like the blonde Captain Jack ...

He just isn't the same.

Friday the 13th

This day was not unlucky for me at all! Well, maybe a little bit, but not until the very end of the day!

So we began travel on Thursday night, as it is the MOST unlucky to begin a journey on Friday the 13th and there is no way I'm missing out on this trip! Then the next day, I went and saw RAMMSTEIN and Chombichrist! Fuck it was a good show. I wanted to post some pictures on here but I can't find my stupid camera cord... sigh. Well, I will just write down some of the highlights.

=> Chombichrist had their strobe lights going the whole time and lead singer Andy was covered in latex paint, which at the end he peeled off and threw at the audience. I got a piece! Unfortunately I rolled it into a ball and put it in my bra for safe keeping, then at the end of the show I had sweated all over it and it was stuck in ball form and wasn't nearly as cool as it was when it was still stretchy and weird. So I threw it away. But the point is, I got some.
=> Also at the end of their show, the two drummers chucked their drums across the stage. Kind of a fun way to top it off. I have to wonder though, do their drums only last a couple shows each? Or are the drums they toss props that they sneakily replace their real drums with? We'll never know ...
=> Rammstein had to do something controversial of course, and they used dead babies. Well, dolls. About thirty of them were hanging from the ceiling then they all exploded. It was ... weird.
=>FIRE. Lots of it. Gas masks that breathed fire. A revolver that shot fire. Giant gold wings that caught on fire. Fire works. TWELVE pyro-cannons. Shit, I thought I was going to die at the end of their second set, I had both hands in the air and all twelve cannons went off and there was no room in the mosh pit, I couldn't put my hands back down! It was so hot, and I was about 2 metres away from the stage! I can't imagine what being ON the stage would be like!
=> Rammstein was kind enough to cool us off with a bubble cannon. Like the ones the Jonas Brothers have. Only cooler because it's not a band that only moms like.
=> This was my favourite part. The Rammstein keyboardist (not sure on his name...) was sooo boring at the beginning of the show. He was dressed all black and didn't do anything but play his keyboard ... then all of a sudden he ripped off the black to reveal a silver glittery jumpsuit! THEN he started walking (he was on a treadmill) ... then the treadmill started revolving and he was playing the keyboard on his one side then on the other side then both at the same time ... I couldn't take my eyes off him the whole night thanks to his glitter. Ooh, then he pulled out a dingy, tossed it on the crowd, jumped in and sailed away. He was the most random guy and by far my favourite.
=> In conclusion, three sets was not enough, I was so beat up and bruised from the pit and my feet hurt from standing but I was not ready for them to be done. I would DEFINITELY see Rammstein again, I've loved both them and Chombichrist since grade 9!

There were these guys in the mosh pit while we were waiting for the show to start who kept telling me to get out of there because I was going to be killed. I know that 4'11" isn't much, but I just kept telling them, I'm not leaving and I'm not scared of any mosh pit! They kept telling me to leave though, then some random guy jumped in and said, "GUYS. She's not scared. She'll be fine. Just shut the fuck up. She'll be fine." I appreciated them, and he kept my back for the entire show. He had an extrememly loud voice and he yelled "heads up!" every time a crowd surfer came around so I had time to duck. I only got kicked in the head twice! I just wish I could find my camera cord ... I would love to post some blurry pictures from the highlights ... ha, my camera is the WORST at taking these kind of pictures but I don't care!

I'm going to stop making promises because we all know what happens when I try to do that. I'm just going to make posts when I can and I have a feeling that, now that the snow has FINALLY started melting, I won't be so lazy! We'll see...

I will begin with a picture of Alex and me, the day we got engaged!

April 16, 2011

Yep so I haven't been engaged for a week yet but it's so exciting! I'm getting a little sick of hearing about my own engagement though ...

Person: OMG UR ENGAGEEEEED
Me: YA I NO RITE I WUS THARRRR! hurr durr

I don't know why but we talk like that every time my engagement comes up. Must be the excitement. As far as plans go for the actual wedding, well ... I have a lot of being busy to do for the next year, what with finding a job, moving to the city, finishing school, starting and finishing apprenticing, then getting my journeymen and red seal ... so actual planning probably won't start for reals until February/March of next year. I hope to have my wedding in the winter of 2012/2013, so that gives me plenty of time to plan! I don't want to be one of those ladies who is like, work, then plan wedding, then work and plan wedding at work. BAH you know how they are. Frazzled bridezillas ick, I want to be a happy, excited, stress-free-as-possible bride!

Here's the ring - nice and dainty, suits me :)

And one more little picture that is due to bring about a nice little laugh. This was me last Thursday - I had a big sty on my eye and had to go home from school ... I knew I would be sent home, but I wanted to go anyway just to show off how ridiculous I looked!

Like Quasi Moto right?

Alright, back to laundry and cleaning ... have to get ready for the cousins for our Good Friday family dinner!

March on my Hello Kitty calendar is a beautiful sunshiney, green grass day.

Real life March has about four feet of snow, and it is currently snowing heavily.

Happy Spring First everyone!

Dude. I just keep getting better and better and better and NOT blogging. Time to crack down again. I'm going to keep the goals small this time, I want to post at LEAST once a week. I'll hold myself to it this time.

Today I spent a lot of time cleaning. I didn't quite finish though, because I decided to stop and go to the gym with some friends of mine. We were planning on doing weights then going swimming, but stupid me forgot about the swimming part and had to sit by myself while everyone else went in. Sigh... it wasn't so bad, but I wish I could have joined.

After lunch I went to Alex's crib to meet his brother from another mother. Turns out his dad had a baby before he met his mom and voila! Alex is a half-uncle of five little kids. Who knew? I think the whole experience is really exciting and awesome and fun and fantastic, but everyone else seems so worried. Alex's mom is worried about them not getting along, but at the end of the visit Alex's brother invited us all over to his house for supper next week. I don't see what there is to worry about. Barry's family seems to really like Alex's family and really wants to know them, but Alex's family is all freaking out about it. I think it would be so much fun to learn about another family you didn't know you were related to, and to meet them and become friends after so many years! But then again, I'm not in Alex's family so maybe an outsider's point of view is just different. I had a lot of fun making play-dough sculptured with the kids though! Two of them had mohawks. They're off to a good, stylish start.

We had family movie night at my house tonight and we watched Chicago. Jack had just finished a run of Chicago, he played banjo in the orchestra. For a small-town production, they did pretty well for a such a small town putting on a big Broadway musical. The acting was ridiculous, but the singing and dancing was very well done.

MAN IT'S COLD. It is currently -25 but feels like -36 out there because of the wind, and it was blizzarding all day. I vaguely remember my friend Tyrel telling me that it was supposed to be a mild winter this year ... I kind of figured it wouldn't be after it snowed for two weeks straight in January, then Candlemas was the hottest day of the season at 2 degrees Celsius (a VERY bad omen)! Don't get me wrong, winter is my favourite season, I think it is the prettiest by FAR. But sometimes it's just tooooo cold. Tomorrow it is supposed to be -27, but luckily there is only a -42 degree wind chill. Yaaaaaaay.

MAN OH MAN

I was doing so well with my New Year's Resolution to blog everyday. Then one night, you get too tired to blog and just want to go to bed, and all of a sudden you're out of the habit. I'll have to crack down again!

Last week, my Wii broke :( It won't read any discs. Alex says they're something wrong with the laser that reads the discs, and Jack says I'd have to send it away to get that fixed. I can't finish Kirby! :( But luckily, yesterday Romer let us borrow his Wii because he never uses it. So, I'll have to start all over, but I can catch up to where I was and finish it! It's a fun game anyway, so I don't mind.

It has not stopped snowing since Monday, and it's been -30 degrees Celsius every day. There must be four feet of snow at least, and the weather channel says we'll be getting another 20cm. I love snow, but I wish it would warm up so I can finally go skiing this year, which I haven't done yet! :(

OOOH and last but definitely not least, I went and saw Black Swan on Friday ... it was fantastically weird, and smart, and nuts, exactly what I expected of that director (though the only other film I've seen by him was the Fountain). I loved it though. Some bits were a bit awkward to be seeing with both your boyfriend and mom (as her birthday present Alex and I took her to see it) at the same time, but it added sort of to the general weirdness of everything.
