What did I do today, you ask? I had a dream about Lindsey Lohan and Hilary Duff having a catfight (??), went to work for four and a half hours and then went to Jen’s place to watch the Simpsons for 3 hours. Then I came home and have been sitting here since I got here about .. twenty minutes ago. Mayhap less. It’s been a fairly eventful day, if I do say so myself.

No, really this whole vacation thing is beginning to suck. I know, I know, everyone cries and complains about how ‘boring’ the summer vacation is, but I truly do think this summer has been a detrimant to my health. For one thing, I think my grammar and spelling are going out the window (I’m literally reverting back to a fourth-grade level, I fear) and I think I’ve become an insomniac. Lately, my bedtime has been four in the morning.

So, what should I do to relieve myself of this boredom/free time? I’ve tried searching for a job a week and a half ago at the mall yet no one has called me back. It was suggested to me that I apply at the Staircase Cafe up the street. Yeah, I got insulted by the owner of the cafe, who happens to be the brother of my old drama teacher, Ms. Newberry. She was the one who suggested applying there (and she offered herself as a reference). It was nice of her and all and I’m sure it’s a great place to work but I was insulted and I don’t like getting insulted. So no go.

I’ve been reading more lately also. Recently I’ve read Go Ask Alice which, in my opinion wasn’t worth it. I only borrowed it from a friend though so there was no money lost in that read. I heard so much about this book and I was psyched to read it. When I finally read it, though, it was nothing really special. The book is allegedly the diary of a young girl who fell into the world of drugs and eventually died of a drug overdose. BUT, it’s written during the ’60s, a time period I only have vaguely stereotypical images to associate with and it was so hoaky that I barely believed a word that was written.

I’ve been trying to read The Hours as well. That book isn’t going so well either. I haven’t read too far into but it’s a little boring right now and it’s not doing much for me. I’ll try and plod through it, though, if only to get Tatjana to stop harping me about it.

Finally, I have Dante’s Inferno. I read a part of the first Canto the night I bought it and it took me to another place. It’s kind of like when I read Shakespeare. Both are written in a style unfamiliar to contemporary books and it just moves me to read the eloquence in the verses. I loved it, but truthfully, it is a hard read. I’ll still get through it, though. I need to pick up the entire collection because I only have Part One and Part Two (there are three parts in total). That I will do once I get paid though. I need to leave what money I have in my bank account for my trip to Ottawa/Quebec to see Leah at the end of June.

For some odd reason, all of the default fonts on my browser are huge. It’s bothering me because it’s throwing off some of the fonts on websites.

On the bright side of things, I’m talking to George It turns out we had similar nights last night. We both were up last night ’til seven in the morning today and left home at around 2 in the afternoon today. While he went towards Hamilton, where I live, and I went towards Dundas, where he lives.

I bought the first two books of Dante’s Divine Comedy from a used book store in Dundas today. My mother gave me a queer look and asked if I was really prepared to read the Divine Comedy. I scoffed at her; oh ye of little faith. I’ve been wanting to read this book for awhile.

BLAH!!!!! I um, invited George over and we might hang. BLAAAAAHHHHH. The reason I’m freaking out is cause I still think he’s cute (FUCKING HELL). Um, I must go cause this is bothering me.

Blah, I am so tired, it’s not even funny. I have a night shift tonight as well; man, that’s not going to be fun. At least it’s only 6 1/2 hours instead of the normal 8.

Anyway, I’ve been feeling a little down lately so to cheer myself up I made a layout featuring none other than Bam Margera himself, making out with some random from the movie ‘Haggard’. I made the screen caps myself as well, which I am uber proud of. I really enjoy the earthy colours of this layout.

In terms of sitely news, I added 3 new wallpapers. 2 and a half really, cause the last two are the same thing only they’re mixed differently. I liked both so I added them both. They’re all Elijah Wood wallpapers so if you don’t like it, tough shit, yo.

That’s all I have to say tonight. I’m tired and I have to go to work so I’m off to go rest a bit. Toodles.

I’ve decided to open up hosting. If you want to get hosted, check out the hosted page

Don’t you hate sitting in front of your computer, staring at a blank blog entry and wondering what the hell you should write? I’ve been doing that a lot lately. I seem to be in a bit of a writing rut. I’ll get out of it eventually but drawing blanks really does annoy.

The beginning of the week sucked majorly cause on Saturday night I managed to screw up my entire sleeping pattern completely. That night I went over to a friend’s place and managed to stay up until four in the morning watching movies. I had a shift the next day at 8 am so I only got about 2 hours of sleep. I had contemplated calling in sick when I got home around 4:30 am but thought that’d be a really shitty thing to do and it would look like I had been drinking all night (which I hadn’t) so I endured the elements and went off to work.

That night I didn’t sleep much either because I just bought my hamster, Valo, and Tatjana slept over and we spent a good while laughing together. When she left the next day I slept until 4 o’clock and that threw me off even more; that night I didn’t get any sleep at all again. Tuesday I waited until 6pm to go to bed so I could get back into the pattern again slowly and I slept until 10:30am the next morning. That pretty much fixed everything I had screwed up so now I’m back on track.

I didn’t know you could do so much damage to your sleep just by staying up late a couple of nights in a row, lol. I was dead for the first half of this week! :crazy:

Yep, I was right: night shifts suck the life completely out of me. I’m barely awake as I write this but for some odd and pathetic reason I feel compelled to write something for my nonexistant readers.

Today there were two significant things that occured to me that I will make mention and focus this blog upon: the first was my nephew’s first birthday. My nephew Ethan whom I :heart: very, very much received a gorgeous silk puppy dog and I couldn’t stop stroking its fur cause it was so soft and I was so cold. We held the dinner for him outside due to lack of room inside and it was freezing out there yet no one wanted to go inside. Boourns. I’m warm now though in case you’re wondering :blush:

The second significant thing that occured to me was that I spoke with an aquaintance today on the ol’ MSN and he did something that really made me feel good. He apologized for being a big jerk. Let me give you a little history so you understand why he apologized. I met him at work about a year and a half ago; he worked with me for awhile before he got fired and I had a big crush on his fine little ass. He paid me the same amount of attention he would to a speck of dirt on his right shoulder and generally made me feel like crap for liking him. Him apologizing for being such a big prick (his own words right there) really meant a lot to me cause most guys don’t. It’s no big secret that I usually wear my heart on my sleeve and most crushes just end up in the garbage cause I can’t keep my feelings in check and the boy ends up exploiting it :angry:

Tomorrow I’m going to the pet store after work to buy a hamster. I haven’t had a hamster in a very long time but I really would love to own one again. My mother was deadset against my buying a rabbit so I suppose a hamster will do. They’re smaller anyways

Thanks people, you all rock for being such hardcore sympathizers. I’m okay now. I had a good cry and a hardcore conversation with my Leah who helped me out a lot.

Mm, Ryan Adams is a good singer. He’s so mellow; perfect for a warm spring night. It’s a damn fucking shame I have to work tonight at 11:30. Bloody night shifts, they suck all of the energy out of me and I can’t do anything about it cause I need the cash and night shifts pay the most.

Hmm, Ryerson University has a livejournal community. Go figure!
