Yes, as most of you know, I am incredibly lazy and enjoy postponing most things, including my journals.  But, it looks like I finally got around to updating.

Anyways, not too much has happened over the past month, so at least I won't have to talk forever.  The biggest change, I think, was the fact that I got a job.  By accident, too.  Lindsay was going in for a job interview at this kid's park downtown, and she didn't want to go by herself, so she asked me to tag along.  I did, but mostly because I figured she'd get lost if I didn't.  Anyhoo, while she's waiting for her interview, a girl comes over and asks if I'm filling out an application too.  I say why not, and the next thing we know, we've both been hired and start work the following Monday!  The two of us operate the rides, which isn't the best job in the world, but it gives good money.  Plus, today (which is my day off) the ponies arrive, so I'm going to be running the pony ride for the rest of the summer.  It's great!   

Plus, one of the bonuses of this job is that there is a group of guys from Ireland working with us this summer.    Hey, I'm allowed to window-shop, okay?  Just as long as I don't try anything on.   

Trevor even came down to see me at work the other day.  I think he just wanted to make fun of my uniform.  (It's a really nasty teal color)   It's been kind of crappy lately, because he's been working night shifts for his security company, and I'm working during the day.  So when I'm getting up for work, he's just going to bed, and vice-versa.  We haven't really been able to spend much time together over the last couple of weeks, but I'm hoping his schedule will get switched around soon.  Our anniversary is coming up soon, too, (July 1st...easy to remember!) so we're both hoping that we won't have to work.  I've requested it off, but since it's Canada day, the park will probably be busy, so I won't know for sure if I'll get it off. 

Anyways, that's about it.  Life is good, as I hope it is for all.  Happy Midsummer!

In case you couldn't tell from the titile, I'm quite aggravated right now.  I don't think there are enough cigarettes,alcohol, recreational drugs, morphine, or even horse tranquilizers in the world to calm me down right now.

My sister has been talking about making plans to go out with our friend Chris before he leaves for his training course in New Brunswick, and she also wanted to go riding this weekend.  So, being the dutiful sister I am, I called around and made the arrangement for the trail ride, and asked her to get hold of Chris and ask where he wanted to go for his farewell drink.  That was three days ago.  I finally got hold of her a few minutes ago, and she still has no idea what's going on!  Is it too much to ask that someone other than myself can be relied on to make a few simple plans?  On top of that, I'm almost broke, so I need to know exactly what we're doing and when, to see if I can get the money to do it.  Plus, my fiancee needs at least 24 hours notice of what's going on, so he can find out if he can get the time off.  So I've had him breathing down my neck, keeping me breathing down Lin's!  We still don't know if he can come, and he's been bugging me for weeks that he never gets enough time with me...grrrr.

I hate it when she does that.  She'll always leave things to the last possible moment, and then expect everyone to be okay with it.  Like the time I planned a trip to Montreal with our friends, and she went behind my back and changed the date on a whim, when she knew I had a doctor's appointment that week, and I couldn't reschedule.  So, needless to say, I couldn't go on my own Montreal vacation.  And that's just one of many things I've planned that she's messed up.

I know she doesn't do it on purpose, but sometimes I just wish she could think about someone other than herself.  Or if she's going to ask me to plan something, why can't she just leave it the way I plan it?  Gods know she's not good at organizing.

Oh Goddess, please give me the strength to keep myself from doing anything rash...like strangling her, or smothering her in her sleep, or maybe flushing the toilet while she's in the shower...

Well, happy Friday the 13th to all!  I hope everyone else's plans go smoother than mine...

Wow, it has taken me so long to post!  Normally, I would take the blame for being so lazy, but this time it's really not my fault.  My mom's computer is severely messed up right now (that's what happens when I leave her alone with it) and for some reason, she won't let me hook my computer up to the internet.  So basically, I can only use the computer during the short bursts of time when it decides to work.  I hate these machines.  Oh, great, now there's an error message.  Oh well, I can still type. 

I've got a barbecue going on at my sister's place tonight.  Now that we're both back from school, she's putting on a "welcome back" get-together for the both of us.  It will be fun to see everyone again, it's been since New Year's.  Well, it's a nice day out, so I think I'm going to go do some writing in the backyard for a while.

Well, I've been home since last Saturday now, and already I can't wait for the summer to end.  I'm hoping to get an apartment in the fall with my fiancee, but I have to figure out if I'm going back to school or not.  Plus I need a job...  Anyways...

 

I had an adventure of sorts the other day...I went up to my sister's school to help her move back home for the summer, but I didn't tell her I was coming.  I thought I'd do something nice and surprise her by showing up.  Well, I got there just after her last exam finished, and I waited...and waited...and waited...until finally she showed up two hours later!  She had gone into town after her exam, and we must have just missed each other!   We had a good time, though.

Anyhoo, I should get off the computer before mom gets home, I'm supposed to be cleaning my room.  A blessed Beltane to all!

RIP Misty...

Well, I'm just about finished packing up, just have a few more tings to find room for.  There are so many boxes, I don't know how all that stuff ever fit in my room!  Mind you, it only took me three days to pack anything, but it will probably take three MONTHS to unpack everything.  My mom's place doesn't have room for it all!  I still have to do the final clean-up though, and I really should get rid of that nasty growth in the fridge...  It just seems like there's so much more to do...so I'm having my fiancee come over and do it all for me!   

Plus, I've got a sort of end-of-the-year dinner to go to with my group form school.  We're going to this really nice place that serves GREAT food, plus there's a bar .  It's down on Church street, which is the 'Gay' neighbourhood, so there's always a lively bunch there.  It should be a good time, all in all.

Well, I think I'm going to make a few calls to old friends, to let them know I'm coming home!

Well, my roommate and I just shared our last meal together.    I figured since we have hardly had the time to sit down to share a decent meal all year, that I would treat her to a dinner on me.  Alright, alright, so I just ordered a pizza.  It's the thought that counts, right?  Anyways, it was nice.  We rarely get to just sit around and talk, since our schedules are so different.  I'm kind of sad to be moving out.  She's really nice, and I hope we stay in touch. 
Man, all that pizza is making me sleepy...I think I'll have a nap.    Take care, all.

Hello all, back again.  I probably should be studying right now, but...meh.    I don't even know what I'm supposed to be studying right now, because I missed the review class.  Oops.  I'm waiting for a girl from school to come over so we can study together and I can find out what's going on, but she hasn't called me yet.  Great.
Actually, I've spent most of my day so far working on my BoS.  I'm still in more of the gathering stage and less of the practicing stage, so there's a LOT of writitng to be done.  I think I understand now why it is traditionally written completely by hand: because there is absolutely no better test of one's faith than having to sit for hour after hour copying rules, lore, and other assorted things of relevance.  I don't think my hand will ever work the same again  At least today, we have the luxuries of the internet or new-age bookstores to gather our knowledge from; I'd hate to see what it was like way back in time!  Again, how our ancestors lived continues to amaze me. 
Anyway, I guess I really can't complain about having to write so much, after all, it was myself who decided what was important enough to go in.  I just pray that the Goddess will heal my hand quickly so I can get back to writing!   I guess it really is a labor of love...
Ok, no more complaints, I think it's time for me to take a break.

That's right, only one exam left.  It's going to be the toughest, so I'm praying to ALL the Gods that I pass this one.  Maybe I should have gone to class more often...  Well, the best thing to do is what you think of later, so there's nothing to be done for it now but study my pretty little behind off.  I've still got a load of packing to do as well.  My room looks like an earthquake hit it just after the hurricane ripped through.
Ooh, but hey, I found candy!  It's kind of melty, though.  Lesson of the day: don't leave candies on the windowsill in the sun.  I'm so hungry though!  I absolutely refuse to do any shopping, since I'm leaving in three days, so I'm trying to stretch what's in the fridge as far as it will go.  And I think some things have been in there a little too long already...I think the long-searched-for cure for cancer may be growing on the bottom shelf

Raven here, just saying hello and welcome to what I hope will be an entertaining insight into what exactly goes on in my life.  Man, half the time, I'm not even sure what's going on.  Well anyways, I thought I'd give one of these journal things a shot, since I have so many friends from out of town that need to keep up on the gossip.
Honestly, don't expect too much of this to make sense, especially over the next little bit.  This week, I'm going through my final exams -- waaaaay to much studying -- plus, I have to move back home.  Not exactly an apetizing idea.  Although, the up side is my older sister is coming home from university next week.  We'll get to spend yet another summer inventing new ways to get into trouble .  Well, I gotta catch some Z's before tomorrow's big test, so goodnight, all!
