stuff is a happenin

So, it's been a while...but don't worry, I always come back to the good ole blog. The problem is that my life isn't interesting enough to blog all the time, I run out of things to talk about. But this post, I can recap what the passed...month has been like. To start off, August 7th was my birthday! 17 I am. I had a good time, I had my closest friends over for movies in the backyard....after that nothing happened...until this week. This week I bought my PAX wardrobe from IKEA!!! YAYAYAY!! I've wanted one for 2 months, and it is gorgeous. I don't have any pictures yet but I will post some when my room is all finished up and nice looking.

What else...oh I've been working all the time...I'm getting trained as manager. That should  be fun...I went shopping in the states yesterday, got some cute tops and such. OH and the best part..I saw a psychic today!! There wasn't a lot of stuff about the near future, but she told me things about like 10 years down the road...I might have twins! Crazy stuff. I don't want to spoil it though because I haven't told my friends all the deets yet so I can't post about it.

School in two weeks. :( I haven't done any of the stuff for my mentorship at Brock yet...shit. But, I have all my school supplies! School supply shopping is always so much fun.

Update on Rotary exchange: I have started the contacting process. I emailed the exchange reps from the two clubs in my city that do the exchange. I heard back from one, who happens to no longer be the rep for the club, but she forwarded my email to the new rep who will hopefully get back to me soon...then I have to fill out the preliminary application, then the 25 page massive application and do 2 interviews...hopefully I get in and all the hard work will pay off! Maybe this time next year I'll be in Sweden and blogging about that...oohhh that would be so awesome...blogging from anywhere in Europe would be fantastic!! Let's keep our fingers crossed! Although when I asked the psychic about it she said she saw me in Europe but only for 6 months. She said not to worry about it though because this is only what my 'spirit guides' are telling her and that doesn't mean in won't happen. I hope that's true. Hopefully funner stuff will happen soon and I can blabber on about that.. toodles.

ps. i'm already tired of my layout...i honestly think i change that more than i actually post...oh well.

old people that automatically assume i'm a hooligan

So today, as I was minding my own business just walking down the street, I passed this cute old lady with her cute purse sized dog. I attempted to make eye contact, I put a warming smile on my face and prepared for her to also make eye contact so that we could acknowledge each other, wish each other hello and then go our own ways. She ignored me. This is not the only occasion that this has happened. Yes, on the outside I look like the average teenage girl, I had my iPod in, and a cell phone in my pocket, but I always take out my ear bud (I only wear one when walking to avoid not getting hit by a car or something along those lines) so that I can be polite. The old lady probably thought "Wow, stupid young people can't even be disconnected from their electronics for one minute. Stupid bitches".Maybe without the last part, but you get the idea.That is one thing that I hate about old people. Most of the time they are sweet people that think I am a respectful young lady, which I am. Then there are those people that just assume since I'm a teenager, I must be awful. Since when are teenagers terrible creatures? Yes, there are some kids between the ages of 13 and 19 that are not the nicest of people and are the ones that continually fit the teenage stereotype but seriously, death stares when I walk down the street are not necessary. I also hate those parenting books/conferences/web sites etc...that all say that every teenager is going to go through the rebellious "I hate my life/parents/school" or "Dramatic bitchy girl" stage. When my mom told her friend that we get along, and don't constantly bicker, she didn't believe her. When she told her that I don't party or drink, she told my mom to get serious and stop being so oblivious to my teenage lifestyle. Movies don't help either. They all say the same thing about the teenage species. Basically, I'm obsessed with boys, my parents don't get me, and I will never stop texting until my thumbs fall off. Personally, I think these so called professionals who write these books and conduct these studies should open their eyes to the large amount of the teenage population that actually have futures. End Rant.

work work work

Today was my 7th day of work in a row....and I work tomorrow...and then next Monday-Thursday. Damn I'm gonna have a nice pay check in a few weeks! I actually quite enjoy working. It's fun. I have a good job and its very air conditioned so this heat wave doesn't bother me all day...until I get home. My parents just turned on the A/C for the first time all summer 2 days ago. So I'm very accustomed to hot weather. So I'm definitely applying for an exchange at the end of August, early September!! I just have to get some more volunteer hours in...the last couple of attempts have failed miserably but I may have something with the autism society, I just have to wait until my mom's friend hears something from the girl she knows there. I think I help out, but I have nothing to show for it...at all. It actually sucks really bad. I have completed all my hours for school but I still need more for it to actually look good on an application.

So, I saw Harry Potter again on Tuesday!!! It was just as amazing as the first time. I really want to read the books again, but I have like 10 other books on the go right now. Right now I am in the middle of The Girl Who Played With Fire. It's the second book in a trilogy...You may have heard of the first one, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. I really need to finish them soon, because my grandpa lent me the third, but I haven't finished the second one yet. I also need to read a book that I got for Christmas...2 Christmases ago. I'm really bad about not reading books...I always buy like 3 books at a time, and I get one done, and then go buy more and read the new ones, I never read the ones I didn't finish. I also have a problem with starting books and not finishing them....

Summer has gone fast so far...it's almost August...which means one month to school..but my birthday is August 7th!!! Soon!! I want money for my birthday. So if anyone asks, tell them money. I need money so I can go on an exchange..and buy things...and maybe afford university!!! Woah, that would be a miracle.

Nothing else is new.

stereotypical pedophiles and a segway sighting + HARRY!

I was trying to come up with a good idea about something interesting to blog about...I really have nothing interesting that happens in my life or interests that I can consistently blog about. But, all it took was a trip to WalMart and BAM I saw a guy riding a segway down the road! It was so sick and now I want one really bad. I want to go to europe and take a sightseeing tour on a segway *adds bucket list*. So then when I was in Walmart, I saw a guy that looked like a pedophile. I wouldn't be surprised if he actually was one. He fit the stereotypical pedophile look...including the rapist glasses. Creeeepy. Anyways, tonight I will be seeing the premier of the last and final HARRY POTTER MOVIE!! AHHH I'm so excited! Except for the fact that I will be getting 4 hours of sleep before I have to work in the morning, but that's okay. Harry Potter is totally worth in 100%. Except I'm so upset that now it will be over! Harry Potter has been my life for so long, I grew up reading the books and watching the movies that now I can't believe that it's done. It makes me sad..I really hope another book comes out eventually. Anyways. That's it.

the perks of driving

So today I had planned to hang out with people or possibly just sit at home and do nothing. But, I got called into work. Which I am perfectly okay with because I want the extra hours because I would eventually like to go to university and unfortunately I have to pay for it all myself. I like the days that I work because I actually feel accomplished by the end of that day and don't feel like I wasted my time doing nothing. So after work I went to my friend Carling's house and one of my other friends, Paige was there. We were talking on facebook with a good friend whom we never hang out with and decided to invite him for Slurpees at 7-11 with us. Best decision ever. He is the most interesting person ever and it is a joy talking to him. The best part is that everything he says is funny, but he doesn't try to be funny, its just the way he is. We picked him up, went to 7-11 and then just cruised around town. I love having my license, we just went wherever we felt like going...which was Subway because I was hungry. It was amazaballs. The crappy part of driving is the fact that I paid 20 dollars for 14 litres of gas, but you win some you lose some. I also have to wake up early tomorrow to go to the licensing office becasue apparently my signature is not up to par so I have to go resign before they can send me my real license card...which also means they have to redo my picture (fuck that...). So I actually have to wake up earlier to attempt not looking scary. ahh. But summer is awesome so far. Also, me and Steph are going to start making videos....just wait and see....(Steph, I just blogged about it...so we have to do it.....).

yeah that didn't actually happen

so I said I would clean my room and I did kind of..but now it's sort of messy again. I will actually clean it though when I get the motivation. I always get the motivation right before school starts because I want a fresh start to the year and I love setting up all my school supplies...so talk to me in a month...then maybe my room will be clean...but probably not. Anyways, back to school supplies. School supply shopping is my favourite time of the summer. Not that I like school work, but I love having all new things so it feels like I'm actually going to be organized. I tell myself every year that I am going to be organized but it never really happens. I have gotten a little better but it still ends up being a huge mess in my binder by the end of the year. I'm going shopping in the states for school supplies with my mom and two aunts on August 24th (yes we already have a date set). We have never set a date before, because usually it's just me and my mom on a day that we have available, but my aunts want to go, that live in kitchener and chatham so we had to set a day for them to come, and so I could book it off work. At Walmart in the states, the school supplies are SOOOO cheap!! So I can get a ton of stuff for like 20 bucks. It's awesome. I love school. Not the work part, but the socializing part and the structure part. I still find myself lost over the summer with nothing to do. It actually really sucks. Which is why I am sitting here. But I do love to blog so that should be fun. I went to kitchener yesterday. Nothing fun happened, but I had a two hour nap on the way there and back so that was good. I can always sleep in the car. Even if I'm not tired, I just put on my iPod and drift off. It so soothing. Long car rides are one of my favourite things to do. I don't understand why some people bring portable DVD players and need so much entertainment. Just put on some music and give me a window to look out and I'm set. Travelling has always compelled me. I can easily just stare out a window (or sleep) and be perfectly content. Sometimes I can read in the car, but sometimes I get sick so I just use my iPod. Sleep is fun and good. I may go read a book now....or clean my room...oh geez I need to pull it together.
