9: Speeding
Am I the only one who gets all annoyed when someone is driving the speed limit? Unless there's a baby in your car, or it's about to explode, you can afford a little speed. In Canada, you never get pulled over unless you're going at least 15 km/h over the speed limit. So do it!
I love going fast. Especially in my new cute car. It's one of the best ways to relax. Plus, you get places faster. PLUS if it's nice outside, EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!

Snowing at Night
You're outside, stepping out of your car. You're tense because the drive home.. it kind of sucked. Maybe your tires are bald (guilty) or you drove too fast, or you haven't driven at night in a while... Whatever. But you step out of your car, and you realize... You can't hear the highway, or anything. There's a hush that falls over everything when it snows, and at night... it's almost like you could be the only one there. And not in a creepy way. It's calming. And then you notice... it's so bright. That's what I really love. The sky is always kind of pink at night when it snows, and what little light there is is bouncing off the new fallen snow. It could be the middle of the night, with no moon out and one measly street lamp guiding your way, but you can see it all.
When it snows at night, it's like the perfect quiet world. And it's never dark.

Sadface
I can't really think of anything awesome right now. I'm having a very depressing weekend, and these aren't really rare.
I'm really having a lot of trouble right now when it comes to friends. On one hand, I feel like I've got some great friends, but on the other hand.. I never see them. One in particular has never made any effort to come visit me in Guelph since moving into this apartment. Supposed to be my best friend... but she's just.. fading away. Doesn't inform me of anything going on in her life and making no effort to know anything about or be in mine. It's really hard to deal with. I've got abandonment issues with friends enough as it is, and this is the one person who I should never have to feel this way with. And here we are. But of course, I've brought it up and got nothing but "you don't understand how busy I was". WAS. not am. I'm still here.
I don't want to get much into it... but it's intensely upsetting, especially since I've decided to just give up. She can be my friend if she decides I'm worth it... but I'm out of energy trying at all.
In Guelph, I feel out of touch with everyone. A lot of my good friends from working at the theatre have moved away, so I never get to see them. The ones I do still have in town I either feel like I'm imposing on, or have opposite schedules than me and I never get to see. Spending a Friday or Saturday (or in this case, both) alone, at home... isn't that rare. But it's hard, and it's depressing and I hate it.
I'd love to move back to Burlington because I know I've got friends there, but I've got good friends in Guelph too. And I love Guelph, and it's the perfect city for Brad and I. It's between our families, we have mutual friends here (moving back to Burlington, Brad wouldn't really know anyone and since he doesn't like to "impose" on people by seeing if they want to hang out, he would be alone even more than he is here), Brad's job is here... and I honestly love it here. I love it..
It's just hard

7: Mini Eggs
A lot of the things I find awesome are material goods. But seriously. Mini Eggs. AND the fact that they come in bags that weight almost a full kilogram. I'm on a diet... and I make ROOM for mini eggs. Thanks for the sack of deliciousness, Brad!

5: Birthdays
So you're older. Sometimes it's no good (when you're older), sometimes it's awesome (my insurance rated went down!). But the rest of it... usually awesome! People you barely talk to? Wish you a happy birthday. Can't afford to go out? Who cares, it's your birthday! You get free stuff (even if not a whole lot of it), you can use the "it's my birthday" excuse to get away with a lot of things...
Basically it was my birthday this weekend. I turned 25. I'm halfway to 50. Halfway through this decade to 30. I feel like I should have gotten so much done in my life because when I was young I wanted to be married, or almost married, by now, and have kids by 30. 5 years? Babies in 5 years?! I can't see that now. But I've got a sweet apartment, a boyfriend who I love so much, a full-time job (barf) and I'm buying a car this week.
On Friday I went out in Guelph with some of my Guelph friends, including a delicious dinner (leftovers tonight!), fishbowls of liquor, A FLAT TIRE, a ridiculous night at Vinyl AND 3 FREE TEQUILA SHOTS IN A ROW. Yes. A grand night. Saturday we woke up early, I went and put a deposit on the car of MY DREAMS, had a nap and went to Emma's Back Porch for good times with great friends. Friends I haven't seen in a while. A shitty waitress and a lot of laughs. So good. Sunday was my actual birthday which included a trip to the mall, some chillage, new curtains and dinner at Jack Astors.
Which, by the way...

JUST SAYIN, IT'S AMAZING.

4: Working From Home
Again, I haven't updated in a little while! I suck. I've actually been busy having a life. Today, though, I am working from home. That's right! We knew this big snow storm was going to hit. And even though it hasn't dropped a ton of snow so far, the roads are awful. And we predicted this! So I have next to me a drive full of images of pavement (Soooo exciting) just waiting to be audited whilst I sit at home in my Pirate slippers and pj's, sipping tea while Brad still sleeps. He works 10-6 today so I guess it's good I'm home, he can take the car to work instead of walking. But even getting just to the theatre, which is like.. 2km from our apartment, I'm going to be like DRIVE SAFE!
But the moral of the story is, I can work from home. I can prepare myself food, and look outdoors, and wear what I want. While I work. Mmmm
