... but it still tastes a little bitter

Wow I think it's been a while since I last posted. Though I can't promise a great long post of fun and interesting adventures (remember where I am... ) I can say that I do have a few things to report.

First of all, Amber.... as soon as I can, I promise! I'm going to try and get a weekend to come down and see everyone. One night at your place, one night at Jilly's, and then back home again possibly.

Second... much to my dispair, I got a job... at Superstore. I vowed to not let myself give to it, but I did. And she basically hired me on the spot. So great that I have a job, boo that I had to go back there. I might get my old wage back again, though.

Third, I'm happy to say (as I was raving about it weeks beforehand) that I got to go to the Finger Eleven concert. Sadly it was only the first half, but I'm not too bummed about it anymore. It was the way it was meant to be.

Aside from that, things are still going fairly well. I may not really have to put up with Superstore for too long if this job with the Tidemark theatre works out. Hear that guys? I've been around you theatre people so long that I think I can work at one. For 12$ an hour at 36 hours a week, I should hope so. I've got my fingers crossed that it works out, because it's only a summer job any way.

I could have had one at Blockbuster if I wasn't returning to Nanaimo in September. I nearly cried when I had to turn it down. Ok, that's a lie, but it was not cool! I tried so hard last summer to get a job there! 10 free rentals a week! It would be my dream job..... having to watch movies all week so that I can do my job properly.... I can just imagine......

Anyway, I couldn't take it. All I can do is hope that either my interview at Reitman's goes well and she offers me, like, 4o hours a week, or the one with the theatre calls me back. Then I can quit Superstore... again.

What else is going on......

I saw my brother's band play last week at his school. They played a Sublime song (don't ask me which because I don't know exactly) and they sounded really good. He normally plays bass, and he's teaching himself how to play my guitar. He can already play it better than I can. Definitly the musical one in my family.

I was in Nanaimo breifly today to take Trista to her appointment at the hospital. I think I was there a total of two hours.

Hanging out with Kitty and Terry and Mike on Monday and Tuesday was pretty cool.

Umm.....
I think that's it pretty much.....

Does anyone have a Wallflower's CD?

Lemonade is sweeter with a friend....

Well, I figured it was time for a post.

Here I am, back in CR, and I have to admit that I'm feeling pretty good about being here. Though I can tell the extent of the excitement here isn't very high, but I'm not sure if that's a bad thing or not yet.

Even though I've only been here or about two weeks, I've already had my highs and lows. Things are going pretty much as though I had never left, but there were a few people that sure made sure that I knew they had missed me.

Liz convinced me to go out with her to the bar the other night and I can't say that I regretted that at all. I had fun, but I hardly knew anyone there. And Kitty, I have a new reason why you should come visit me.... our favorite bartender has returned from the UK.

I've yet to track down Aaron and surprise him, though Andy told him I was here, so I guess it's not a surprise anymore. But that's ok. I get a kick out of the fact that Aaron was confused by Andy telling.. well actually kind of demanding... that Aaron call me and spend time with me.

Speaking of Andy, I've spent a few night watching movies and things with him. The first night we hung out, he made me pizza and took me to see Fracture, which I suggest every one of you go see because it was great.

I finally got a call back from one of my resumes. Zellers wants to see me on Monday. It'll be a dash to get from the bus, to see if mom will let me use the car, to getting home and cleaned up, to getting back to Zellers for my interview. Should be interesting.

Sunday is only two days away! I'm very excited for Sunday. Andy, Ky and I are going down to Victoria for the Finger Eleven concert. Hooray for floor shows! Definitly looking forward to great fun with two awesome people.

Also, hooray to Ky and Martha!

Hooray to Martha and Amber for finding a place! Don't worry Amber, I'll come protect you from them as soon as I can!

Hooray to Geoff for getting the part in the play!

Umm...

I had one more and now I don't remember what it is...

Oh well..

As much as I love it here, I do still miss you guys. Hopefully once I start work I'll be able to afford to come visit for a weekend. Don't worry Jilly I still plan on taking up your couch at some point before the summer is over!

That's about all I have for now!

Oh! I get my laptop back today!!!

Wake me up....

I had my first sad day without you around today....
Turns out I needed your help all along....
