Someone really has to check my dreams for me, I would like an interpertor.
Breaking teeth, going back to school are two major topics... Which I see is fine, though the chipping makes me extremely uncomfortable. I can see myself going back to school maybe in the next few years, if I transfer to Kamloops or something.
Stocking shelves/selling electronics.
I've been thinking of applying at Safeway as a stock boy. I'm just stocking things, as I was in Save-On-Foods. That wouldn't be a bad job to do that, because I believe I'm in the right frame of mind to disappear from customer service, but still be in the picture, if you know what I mean?
Also, I've been seeing myself in dreams becoming extremely confident selling electronics and working somewhere such as Best Buy, Staples or future shop.
..The discount is nice.
The best one.
"I'm sorry. We've run out of Earl grey boxes, so I have to get some noodle packets from wherever they appear and put the earl grey in there, so the customers can become satisfied. Also, lets put the flavour sachet in this pack of noodles and watch it become delicious!"
...

Oh yeah, speaking Shuswap is becoming more and more apparent.
What's some of your dreams like?

008: Save, save, save!
I'm surprised that I am following myself on here, because it just means that I'm vain. Anyway, it's easier to check the numbers on the titles that I'm doing (number indicates blog post, lol) and it works out.. Slightly keeps it easier to track ^^;
Starbucks is becoming amazing first off. I've recently put my brain in sleep mode, and concertrate on work now, at both jobs even gets me real far. I'm happy that I'm able to just work and nothing else, and the amazement that I've received from Lorissa has been breathtaking... I'm honoured that I can actually get something done and not worry what others think. I really don't associate with many people at work anymore, just see them, say hello and want to focus back on working.
Æ, I enjoy. Expect for the fact that I'm getting almost no shifts there whatsoever. I am first on the 'to call' list, and I am hoping they can call me for 2-3 shifts a week. I'm doing stock there so far, and it's real fun, gives me a chance to be away from the customers whilst working, which is something I need sometime. I'm just happy about the discount, muahahahahaha. >_>;
But I don't think I'll be buying anything anytime soon.
I am seriously thinking of applying for a part time job on the side, whereas it'll be in fast food or staples, or even safeway (not that there's anything wrong with that!) doing whichever is available, hopefully from 3-9 or so. I need as much money as I can gain for the possible move that will be happening sometime in the future, and I have a feeling that the best way that is able to be gained is cut off any social life that I do have [if it involves money, the bake nights and things similar to that are extremely fun and don't need any type of cash. :) ] and just work enough, that I have enough time to relax at home and maybe gain a few extra hobbies such as attempting to learn Spanish properly or reading. [A library card maybe a good idea.] But if anyone has any ideas to possibly save more money, let me know.
I am thinking of finding simple but cheap and healthy recipes that I don't have to do much preperation [because I am lazy and never encouraged to cook anymore.
What do I want to save up for?
SFU Kamloopa. (Kamloops in original terms, but Kamloopa refers to the city in some local First Nations languages.)
The joint major I want to proceed in is with Linguistics and First Nations Studies. You will find a brief description in this .pdf file "Hér."
I wish to progress in the Secwepemc language, and their culture. But if Dan and I plan to move anywhere, I will only have knowledge on that language, but the First Nations studies will be forward to many other cultures within Canada, and even the US. The question that I have to ask myself is if I really want to move to Kamloopa sometime next year or stay in Calgary, save up here and then head off to somewhere where we'll find ourselves more certain.
Suggestions are welcome.
Dan has said that he wouldn't mind moving to Kamloops, but wants us to both be happy with how much we have, he'll have to find a job there (shouldn't be too hard if he continues teaching..) accomodation and the such. I want to save as much as I can before I can consider anywhere currently.
I am thinking of staying with Starbucks, because of the University benefits that I gain (the whole tutition is semi-paid off, about $1000 every year or something like that...) I continue having the job that I am working at and I won't have to learn anything new. That's not too much of a problem, but the rate that I am getting paid currently that has basically forced me to go into assistance for housing and how Dan isn't too certain on that place is kind of nerve wracking occasionally.
My hours have gone down from 32 - 28 there... Which isn't too happy.
I'm tempted to call Brett and Danielle to gain any extra time that I can get starting in a fortnight... I don't think I'll be able to survive off that.
On the plus side~! $650 saved, $450 left on my visa.. Not that bad.
I've also found some more music, send suggestions~!
Not much else to report, apart from two deaths in my family, and a new baby girl.
...
Everything happens in three's.

007: Hvað er nótt!
I've been having a fantastic time recently with everything. I started the job at Æ today (American Eagle), and the manager has seemed to put up with any BS that we have all presented, and he's working around everyone's schedules, which is fantastic.
Interview tomorrow at Bumpy's... I know I will get it. James said the same thing. I have trust in his judgement. If I do get it, I will give two weeks and hopefully will have a better schedule for Æ. We'll see. I have a feeling that I will be a lot happier there too. :)
Starting to see a different side of everyone, especially Dan - for the better. I can now deal with situations a lot better and I'm able to not worry as much. But I've been as happy to see him now ever since day 1, it's still the same responce.. Which I'm real happy about.
R.I.P Grandpa, and Andrea (First cousin). I'm not going to cry or anything, though my dad's side of the family is dropping like flies. They will be missed though.
...
Starting to do work around the place, including hanging up some pictures, rearranging the rooms, and making it feel more like home. I have the interview tomorrow, so I will let you go with some pictures.
^
My chest of drawers. Dan's graduation picture, along with a picture of him when he was 12. The cat's name is Shadow, and the moose is named 'Kulde'. :)
^
"My collection". Pretty easy to figure out, it's of the past and makes this place, mine. The two frogs and the cat are the most noticible ones. Reminds me of Dan and me, with a possible cat. :)
Goða nott, mig vinir.

006: Hjálp mig!
Alright, this is gonna be an interesting project for myself and will take quite a while if I don't give up on it.
I'm going to be looking for 10 bands (the final result will have five songs each, which means 50 songs...) from each major country that produces music that is available almost anywhere, but sound good at the same time. [...If their band name is in their native language, makes it even better!]
The bands MUST sing in their own native tongue, otherwise it'll just be easy.
I'm sure it'll be good to start off with one country at a time, but lets have a look around the globe. I have some bands already, and would appreciate any help from anyone.
Korea:
1. 투애니원
2. 소녀시대
Russia:
1. Тату
2. Ничья
Iceland:
1. Sigur Rós
2. Björk
Greenland:
1. Kishima
2. Piitsukkut
Norway:
1. Gåte
Farose Islands:
1. Týr
2. Eivør Pálsdóttir
Germany:
1. In Extremo
2. Revolverheld
3. Rammstein
First Nations/Aboriginal acts:
1. Yothu Yindi
2. Walela
3. George Rrurrambu
4. Susan Algukark
Mexico:
1. Paulina Rubio
2.
Greece:
1. Despinda Vandi
Romania:
1. O-Zone
Italy:
1. Eiffel 65
Polish:
1. Myslovitz
Japan:
1. The Gazette
2. Dir en grey
ANY ideas, please let me know! I'm looking for new inspirations for music too. :) Takk!

005: Hello New-Age Phil.
I'm turning 22 in 24 minutes, and it doesn't really seem to seize me. It's more or less another day with the exception of Dan coming over and cooking dinner and calling me whilst on his lunch break. I'm slightly scared of the phonecalls that will arise from the morning, from all the random strangers... If my phone's able to withstand being run over, I wonder about being thrown against the wall? Nah.. I'm not that mean. ^^;
I'm sick of work, to the extent that I just don't want to do anything anymore. Lena, Jon and myself sat around for a full eight hours yesterday and only served the customers. I had a tie on, I wasn't wearing an apron, my tattoos were showing, yet no-one cared. It's amazing how Starbucks policies are forced to reduce any form of self-expression. No piercings are understandable, because if not screwed in properly, they could fall into the coffee, or just about anywhere.
I may attempt at baking my first pie tomorrow night, with Dan. I have a ton of Granny Smith apples that are just there. There not bad or anything, but I got them for lunches, and they're sour as hell. [Here, I thought that GS apples were able to be eaten as regular apples.. The last time I tried one was in Tasmania. They were cheap, so why not?!]
Oh god, two minutes. I should find a song to play to celebrate! LOLLIPOP! :D
...And I'm 22. I don't feel anymore different than I did before, just giggly. I'm surprised mum hasn't called me up wishing me a happy birthday. *shrugs*
I'm not going to post anything major at the moment. I'm tired, as always and want to sleep.
Did you wanna do something for my birthday and maybe a few friends? My friend just opened up the forum "Same Blood". The link is: http://same-blood.proboards.com/
The reason for the boards is even though there's not that many active members, it's about realizing how a person is in a small town enviromnent, and living in that place myself, it can be difficult. Register, sign on and give a few posts, see if you like it. It's starting out, but I have faith in it. *nods*
The most regular members are some of my good friends. :)
Anyway, have a good one, I'm hoping to get together with Josh tomorrow for coffee, it should be great. ^_^
You know what a real good feeling is? Your fiancé and you having mutual friends that you really don't have to worry being around. I felt the safest around the people I had invited to my birthday on Saturday, for the first time in a long time. It was real nice.
Goða nott, send some love! <3

004; Hvað?
I splurged. I bought myself a new computer, and damn proud of it too. Means I also get to try out the new Windows 7 that's coming out also. It's small and it's black, and I think I may keep this computer for a small while until I decide to get a portable hard drive to put everything in.
I'm getting myself a freezer this paycheque coming up, not to brag. I' probably won't be getting too much food into it for another two paycheques when I can afford it, but it will save me a lot of hassle shopping, especially during the winter when I know that Dan doesn't like to do long distance traveling with the car. If you could, wouldn't mind some quick and easy healthy choices, so that means I'm not relying on hamburgers or chips all the time... And I'm getting sick of sweet things ;)
I'm actually quite happy at the moment. I managed to send out a few resumes, and I just received one of the best haircuts in Calgary for $17. I had $25 in cash, I just gave it all to him. It's good to be kind, especially ones that get your jokes and understand your accent without having to turn off the buzzer. I know where I'm going to now, and it's just a block away from my apartment! How convieinent ^^
The lucky places that had received my resume are mainly on 17th ave... Moxies, Shoppers, Café beano, Café kawa, Caffè Artigiano and last off, London Drugs. Only a matter of time now!
Sarah and I had a huge debate via text messenging today. Asked me to save her from her family... I mentioned "Awe, Muffin.", got the responce "Cupcake." and kept going on for an hour with different pasteries... I won with 'custard tart' >>;
You won't believe how many stares you get when lollipop goes off, on a crowded train, nonetheless. ^^;
I'll report back after. When I can actually think of more to say. ^^;

003; A whiter shade of pale.
Jessie must be pissed at me. I do apologize that I haven't been able to get her phone in over a week, but I simply cannot get there with my work schedule and how I've been feeling... And Dan's annoying also sometimes, because he's going "Can't we get it another night?" My boss is scheduling me for the most random days too, with me finishing at 20:30, and then starting the next morning at 05:30. What. The. Fuck? She should learn how to properly schedule. Which means two weeks of opens, two weeks of closes and two weeks of mid-shifts. That's how it should go, and we should switch it around, expect Lena, 'cause of school.
Was thinking about getting a new job sometime, but I have to get a resume in first. I'm mainly concerned about the stability and how long I've been at a job before getting anything else. Starbucks may not be fantastic, but it does pay the little bills that I do have, thankfully I'm low maintenance and have little things to worry about. I need to get more food soon though. I have some holiday pay that I'm planning on using up sometime soon, with the impact of being by myself for a few days, and hopefully it'll be some time to get together with some friends that I've been trying to get with, but have been way too busy for, and I do apologize.
Why do I have a feeling that living alone is the thing that I'm becoming depressed by?

002; Raveeeeeeeeeeeee.
So, the big one's happening tonight, the Voodoo rave. It's going to be something quite interesting, as I've basically slaughtered Sheena, and stole a lot of her fur for my viking costume, which I am really proud of. I wish a few more of you guys were here, it would be amazing partying with all my WL friends again, especially in a time like this. :)
Hope everyone's well. I really don't have much to say, expect that I'm excited for the rave with Shauna, Jason, Jon, Dan, Sheena, Brian and hopefully more. it'll be a getaway for the night, and I will treat it well and with respect.
What's everyone doing for hallowe'en? Give some feedback.

001; In the sky...
"I'm starting a revolution from my bed."
Sometimes, that's how I feel in Calgary. Sitting aimlessly doing nothing - as of right now. I've been told to slow down numerous times by many different people, but for what? If I slow down and look around me, I'm sitting on a chair in my dining room, ITCHING to do something productive. Talking to friends is a major step, but I'm waiting for a phone call half the time, which is why I'm never doing anything with anyone, anymore.
I feel just as useless as I did in Williams Lake, expect I live in a bigger town, have more independence [doing excellent for myself] and in love.
I've recently discovered Oasis in my music collection after one of the most popular "love" song's for gay guys is wonderwall; of course - I found that one out from Shay, and now know the song inside and out. Dan and I harmonize it in pleasure... Got told to sing Champagne Supernova from my karaoke host, which I'm honoured to actually sing.
All I want to do these days is sing and rejoice the good times, that I've lost, gained and illusioned in these primitive times.
"But don't look back in anger; I heard you say."
