Right Then

So, I didn't think it was possible, but I have changed QUITE a bit within the last while.
ONE: My hair is no longer blue (sadly, but it needed to be done)
TWO: More piercings (teehee)
THREE: I still drink, but definately not to the extend I was at, and feeling much better about it.
FOUR: This isn't really new, but I'm STILL going to school, which I figured I would have given up on by now, due to lack of academic skills.

I'm trying to make myself a better person (in my own eyes), and so far... Well, I haven't fallen on my face with it yet, so that's always good.
I've written a song, done a few more chapters of my book, sang in front of a crowd, asked someone out on a date, and made friends in classes. Ah, how I've grown.

None of these things may seem like 'big deals' to most, but I went from being painfully shy (Not even kidding; you looked at me weird and I would blush and run away) and awkward, to what I wrote above. I was also thinking about why I write my blogs/stories/songs (and why I'm determined to be a singer), and I figure it's because I've never really had my say in anything else, so these outlets give me that chance, and maybe my thoughts will be heard.

Well, that little bit of introspection was fun, wasn't it?
I'm off to play Super Mario Bro's 3 (so I can actually challenge Cody when I go to his place next time; I'll keep this updated ;) )

new hair

I was meaning to post this in 2 blogs ago, but I forgot.
My friend Colin took this as I was trying to write.
I kind of adore my blue streaks, though, as of right now they've washed out quite a bit.

Late

So, I posted last night and said I'd post again after a few hours and than I fell asleep on my books. Woops.
So, the thing I wanted to talk about, or rather, be honest (with myself, at least) about is who I am.

I am bisexual and proud.

Truthfully, I know that it's not THAT big, but it's taken a bit of strength from me to come to terms with it. Side note* My grandmother is deathly homophobic, and neither of my parents would be okay with it, if they knew.
Well, I feel better. Knowing that it's out there and even in bolded letters gives me the stability I've needed.
Onto news. My mum got me an early birthday gift. Pomegranet body spray and a gradual tan body moisturizer. I'm thoroughly pleased.
My birthday isn't until Tuesday, but she didn't know what else to get me. It's right brilliant.
I've been driving a crap load lately, and I can go to get my N whenever I feel ready, but I still don't know how to parallell park or back into a parking spot, so I need work. Also, dad and I were driving today, and all he did was pick apart everything I did horridly. That includes me making a mistake that I KNEW I'd made and had never done before. He seems of the persuasion I must ALWAYS drive this way and, therefore, doesn't want me driving anymore.
It's infuriating, to be honest.
I want to start this '365' project with photography. It seems interesting, and keeps me working on my less that amature skills with a camera. I would plan out a picture to include all aspects of my day, EVERY DAY. It sounds like dailybooth, but more fun. I would need a more interesting life to really make the pictures less than rubbish, but I still want to.
Well, that's about all I've got.
Thanks for reading, all!
Cheers <3

Bother

Hallo all! It HAS been awhile, has it not? I've been a little overwhelmed with uni, work, writer's club, writing the the newspaper, and a new leadership position with some friends... And of course, drinking until I black out once a week (the most important part, naturally.)
I suppose I'm posting just to waste time before I have to study for my psych 102 midterm in two (maybe 3) weeks. Really not excited in the least.
Well, I guess I could inform the interwebs of current goings on around me. There's really not much to report, if I'm going to be deathly honest.
I have blue and black hair, I got 63% on my first of two midterms, work sucks in general due to staffing and other random changes. I've been trying to watch more movies recently, so I can actually have an opinion for customers when they ask the inevitable question:
"What's a good movie?"
As if there could ever be a more vague and aggrivating question, but, as it is, they expect an answer. True be told, I watched Remember Me with Robert Pattinson (Twilight Saga, How To Be, Harry Potter 4), and absolutely loved it. It's definately a snooze or adore, but it was worth watching in my mind. I also watched She's Out Of My League with Jay Baruchel (Tropic Thunder, The Socerer's Apprentice, Knocked Up) and thought it was SO funny, and worth a watch as well.
Playlists recently have been filled with Marianas Trench (of course), the Alice in Wonderland soundtrack, a bunch of Down With Webster, and S Club 7's last cd. I know, I'm freaking awesome. I have also reignited my love of the Beatles and Across the Universe (soundtrack and movie).
Good books that I've read lately: Good Omens by Terry Prachett and Neil Gaiman. Stardust by Neil Gaiman was also a great read. These are older books, but I happen to be a fan of the vintage novels. Pretty soon I'm going to crack into Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, but I want to read the rest of the 'Hitchhikers' series by Douglas Adams.

Random note; I wrote an opinion piece for the school's paper, and it was about why Batman is awesome, and one of the staff writers decided to battle me with ink and push out a rebutle on why he's a waste of a comic book character. It was actually really fun. Perhaps, when the paper's printed, I'll post both of them on here so other people can enjoy it.
I've written a modern, shorter version of Shakespeare's Macbeth for my writer's club as well. It was fun to write, and I had one of my professor's read over it and make a few changes. I'm pretty sure I want to post that here, too, to get other's opinions before I have it ripped apart by my peers.

Drink of the month for me has been a 'girly drink', apparently. Bacardi Breezer's Pina Colada. It may be a cooler, but it tastes amazing, and gets me primed for harder drinks, such as straight shots of Raspberry vodka (3 in fact, in a matter of seconds. Much fun was to be had at that party.)

I'm going to post something else not long from now, because I DO want to be completely honest with myself, and show the world that I'm not afraid to show it. I know no one really reads this, but it'll make me feel better, so if you DO follow my blogs, keep an eye out, I'll be posting again within the next few hours (after a study session... at 11 o'clock at night.)
Thanks for reading. Much love. <3

Irony

Haven't slept in two days because of too much homework. Oddly enough, one of my projects is a sleeping experiment for psychology. =\ Stopped streching my ear, as i can't afford the next size up for a while so I can take the next psych class in the summer semester.
one of my friends has gotten a crush on me and is being SUPER creepy about it and i don't like him 'that way' one bit. Not entirely sure what to do.
Stupidly lonely, tired and mentally drained. Living off coffee and popcorn. Not the best diet, especially with a NEW TONGUE PIERCING.
Yep, it's been a week today (Friday), and it's healed really well so far. =]
Mum's going to be in the hospital for another 2-6 weeks, though.
Is it sad that the tongue piercing is the highlight for the past month.

OH, and my dad got mad at me for missing my bus and getting a friend to drive me home, so he put a hole through my door than threw my binder out my window
... Sidenote, neither of my parents know OR CAN FIND OUT about my tongue. I'm being sneaky. -_-.

Anyways, i just needed a break from copying notes for psyc, but I shall return to the work that awaits. Night all. <3

New fave song/band(s): Giving Up On The Weekend - Vampire Weekend \\\\\ illScarlett

Complete Fail

Kay, I know, I COMPLETELY fail at posting on here TT_TT BUT, yes finally a legit excuse (because that's all it is).
I've actually been SO busy with school and writing for the paper.
Also, I'm helping run a video games club, book club and I'm helping my friend start our writer's club.
Oh, and I'm still working.
And my mum's been (and still is) in the hospital.
So there.
Anyways; I now know what my goal in life is.
I MUST sing with Josh Ramsay when they come to Vancouver again. Marianas Trench is holding a contest to find people to do a duet with him singing "Good To You". I've been saying for a while that I will know I've become a singer when I have the honour to sing with him. No, it's not just because he's beautiful (though I won't deny it). His voice is honestly the most perfect sound I've ever heard. His capability and range is just astounding. Also, his skill when writing lyrics is just breath taking. "Lover Dearest" is my favourite song; Josh Ramsay wrote it when he was 18/19 and in rehab for his heroin addiction. They told him to write a love letter to his drug of choice, hense where the song came from. It is uh-MAZE-ing. <3

My friend Caity made this for me in grade 11, and I'm pretty much positive
she saved my life.
I normally have it on my wall above my bed, but I've been carrying it in my bag lately
just as a reminder.
I kind of adore her <3 caityinthesky on twitter. show her some love.

I'm streching my ear hole(s). My right ear is the only one actually streching though. It's to an 8 ish now. =] It pleases me.
Anyways, that's about it, I think.
OH.
I'm now also on tumblr now, and I've actually been checking my facebook, myspace, twitter, photobucket, youtube, dailybooth and fancorps pages =] I'm so networking-savvy. It blows my mind.
SO.
Don't be afraid to comment\\follow.

Happy bloody New Years

I'm standing at work, helping the insane amount of people who are going to sit at home and watch movies, bowl of popcorn in their lap and sweetheart at their side, just trembling with excitment, because for the first year, I was going to go out to a party and be with my friends on New Years.
My friend shows up and asks me if I'm ready to go, but I tell him,
"I don't know, I still have to let mum know that I won't be home 'til tomorrow afternoon."
Just at this moment in time, she pulls up in our tacky looking red mini van.
He steps outside to talk to her. He's gone for 5 minutes. 10 minutes.
I've gone back to till because more people have shown up.
Paul wanders back into the store, looking like he's trying to make up his mind about something.
"Well, what'd she say, am I good to go?"
"Negative.", and he walks out of the store.
Now, I'm standing at work, still trembling from anger towards my mother. How could she? She must've known I wouldn't be home until the next day!
With my anger hitting its peak as I practically throw people their rentals, I leave to go home.
I get into the sad excuse of a vehicle and ask my mum what exactly she'd SAID to Paul. And she tells me.
"I told him that it was fine as long as you were home by noon tomorrow, so you still have time to do your hair before work. He stood here and nodded at me, went over to Veronika (his girlfriend) and went back into the store."
Naturally after this I have to text him and ask him what the HELL he was going on about. He informs me that I hadn't made up my mind (because I'd said I don't know) and so he had told me no.
Well, with this I'm mad all over again, but now I have a new target. I remind him that I had to talk to mum first, but she'd said yes.
"Too far behind us now, sorry."

Needless to say, this is a great bloody way to bring in the new year.
My resolution? I resolve to get blood on my hands... Paul's blood.
