Element Keeper's Pad

08/18/08

I don't normally do personal blogs so quickly after I just did one few days ago, but I figured it's only fair to mention how the wedding and reception went for my best friend Jon and his new wife.

Well I was mainly concerned Mel and Alex wouldn't make it, but luckily they did. It was a lovely wedding and Jon and Kristan looked really nice. I'll admit the ceremony I felt a little weird seeing your best friend up there since I'm the only single person I think he knows or I know, but it quickly passed. Seeing him smile the entire time from ear to ear exchanging vows was awesome and incredibly sweet. When we went outside I finally met up with Mel and Alex and Jon was SOOO happy Mel and Alex could make it. So was I. Now at least I wouldn't feel alone at the reception later :P lol.

So we went outside, some pictures got done, then Meghan's parents took us to do some errands which included going to the park to take pictures of the wedding party. Mel and I finally got to meet up with Jon for a bit while he didn't have his photograph taken. I got some awesome pics on my cellphone of Jon amd Mel, along with Alex with the two of them and Jon and Me. So then Meghan's parents took us back to their place until the 5:30pm dinner.

The reception was really well done and planned. The food was good even though I wasn't as hungry as expected. Mel and I mostly talked and hung out and couple times Jon and Kristan dropped by to mingle and talk with us. It kind of sucked though when Mel and Alex had to leave since I was stuck with Meghan's significant other (Rob) who's nice and all but he was bugging me and Mel a bit being all clingy and shit and wanting attention on him. When Mel left I felt really down and the combo of me being on my own sorta with the love songs the fucking DJ kept playing made me feel really down at one point and I had to excuse myself to use the bathroom and talk myself  out of thinking that way. It might seem silly to most people to get all down about being single but it's almost 4 years people...if you were in my position you might empathize. Luckily this feeling of being single and alone did not last long and I was able to get back out to the reception fairly quickly. Only lasted a moment, and during the special dances the wedding party had, I distracted myself from feeling that way by zoning out and drinking lol. Other than that the music was good for most of the night. The main regret for the reception was I didn't dance with anyone, not even Jon. Not that I didn't want to, but noone I knew was there to really ask after Mel left, and I waited too long to ask Jon because he was sore and tired and didn't wanna dance. A bit of a bummer, but it's all good.

Once stuff was slowing down and wrapping up I hung out with Jon and a couple other people so at least I can say I socialized a little after Mel left LOL. Jon was a good sport about that, I felt like I was being a follower or something :P lol. He stayed outside with me for a moment before he was dragged back to move stuff to his car and he apologized about not being able to stay with me while waiting for my ride to show up and take me home.

Overall despite my own insecurities almost getting to me, it was all so beautiful and so lovely to get out and do something different and see my best friend so happy. Despite my worries about my lovelife and such I was able to enjoy myself and enjoy Jonathan's time in the spotlight.

I will say this though: no lovesongs or weddings or shows about weddings or lovey dovey crap for a while. Seriously. Since the wedding that stuff makes me get down on myself and overthink and stuff and I need to bypass that hurdle again. It's nothing against Jon or Kristan or anyone, it's just a personal thing and my insecurities I need to bypass again is all. Any single person who's been on their own a lot for a few years might understand what I'm going through right now. It'll pass fairly quickly but the best way for it to go away fast is avoiding the lovey dovey stuff, seeing what you DO have in one's life like my best friend :) and just doing the life thing. Jon's new wife won't change our friendship and I'm sure he believes the same thing.

If I keep going on this I might ramble so I'll end this here and say it was all kick ass and awesome and Congratulations to Jonathan and Kristan McBride :) *hugs*

Love Always, Rebecca XOXOXO

08/15/08

Well it's a lovely friday afternoon and I'm at work during a slow period so I figure I'd update you on what's been going on with me and life around me lol.

For starters the title of this blog spells it out pretty clearly. You know I remember when he first told me he was getting married, I honestly didn't know how else to react but be concerned for our friendship and support him no matter what he decided to do about our friendship. It was definitely news to adjust to. It was conflicting. For a little bit after I got the news I felt a tad envious some other girl who I introduced him to not, not long after they date he decides to go that step with them instead of me. After much self reflection and thought through it all however, I feel so happy for him and proud of him for taking this step. I obviously felt anxious and envious when I got the news because of my own demons I was still conquering when it came to myself and my past, but what matters now in the present is our friendship is still strong and even when he has a wife he still will be a part of my family and my best friend. Tomorrow is his day to shine and I'm grateful and lucky to be able to witness it. I see him as my best friend completely now, no longer an ex-boyfriend and friend...which really lifts a lot of guilt and weight off my shoulders.

Now my next question is...will I so lucky to return the favour and be able to let him witness my happiness with someone? Time will tell, but I'm really REALLY hoping so. I still do miss the companionship a significant other gave me, but I'm hoping to experience it again. Maybe even Jon himself can play matchmaker for me this time and find me the right person just by introducing me to them. Fantasy to reality is sometimes hard to accomplish. Cross your fingers for me dear reader ;) lol.

Anyway thought provoking stuff aside, life's been good. Not only an awesome wedding I'm attending, I also get to see my friend Melissa aka Melz there too with her guy named Alex. It'll finally be awesome to meet the face who helped create two very great kids with Melz. I haven't seen her in so long. It'll be nice for Mel, Jon and myself (my closest friends I got right now) to all hang out and celebrate the day.

Other than that not much has been going on with me. Just doing the whole living thing and such and not much else lol. Back to work I go, later all!

Love Always, Rebecca XOXOXO

07/10/08

Well my trip to Jonathan's was great. I arrived in the early afternoon in Colborg to greet him at the station. We then went to get some stuff to eat and enjoyed hanging out a couple hours before he had to drop me off at my hotel room before the Buck and doe him and his fiance Kristan were holding. I showered and relaxed at the hotel and got picked up about 6 I think to be taken to the hall. The event was really cool. I didn't dance too much since I prefer to get asked to dance by people, but I loved the music and enjoyed the drinks and food provided. I will say I'm a bit awkward with that many people I don't know, but that settled down after I had a few drinks. Bacardi Breezes are yummy I learned LOL. Anyway it was almost 2am by the time I got back to my hotel room and got changed. After some watching of TV I went to sleep.

I woke up 5ish hours later and decided to shower and get some breakfast at the hotel. Jon called to let me know he was going to pick me up that morning. I went with him to meet the others who stayed at his place that night for breakfast at some place in Port Hope's downtown. Mind you again I already ate so I just had a milkshake. We then took Kristan and Meghan to get Meg's dress for the wedding and see it. Then once again we travelled back to Jon's place where Meghan and Rob along with Kristan's parents drove home and I brought in my packed things so I would be staying at Jon's place. After we all had a bit of a nap, we played wii, got a couple rentals to watch, and just had a fun time. I even got Kristan and Jon to watch 2 girls and 1 cup and recorded their reactions LOL! I know gross, but their reactions were priceless. Here's the link to that: http://s40.photobucket.com/albums/e215/TigerLily013/?action=view&current=Video4.flv

I tried to put it on youtube but it was being stupid so it's on photobucket :D It's definitely worth the watch! Anyway I really enjoyed myself. Jon went to bed a bit earlier since he's been going like a madman last couple of days.

I woke up feeling really well rested on their couch aruond quarter to 11 in the morning and did my own thing until they got up. We had breakfast/lunch then he took Kristan to work. Jon and I went to Walmart after that and we got a few things from there I wanted to get myself, then came back and he went to work for 4pm. So I was on my own for 5ish hours. Kristan came home about 9:30 and Jon came home around 2am. We all had a late supper and all went to bed about 4am.

Tuesday was generally the same in routine except Kristan didn't go to work and we all went to Casey's for lunch/brunch. Jon insisted I not pay for mine since he's awesome and that I think he felt a little guilty I spent enough on their behalf already, but I didn't mind :) I paid the tip so I call that a draw lol. We went to walmart after that, I got Pokemon Pearl for the DS and he got a CD for his car and we went home. He went to work again and me and Kristan chilled until 2ish then he came home and we had some stuff to eat and went to bed at 4.

Wednesday morning I obviously was a bit sad since I had to leave, but I made the best of the time I had left with Jon. We had a small breakfast together, we got a picture of us on my cellphone then Kristan got up at 1 and they took me to the train station. I was a bit down and was holding back showing that at times but he knew I was down I wouldn't see him again for a little while. The train ride home was okay, nothing really exciting. I was mopey a bit for the most part and my sleep that night could of been better (I really miss that couch). Jon called to check in on me around 2am which I really appreciated.

I loved my time there. It was great! I'm hoping this coming weekend Jon will be able to drop by for a few minutes. I miss him like crazy right now sitting here at work typing this, but it's still nice to be home. I hope I can visit him again sometime between September and November next. It would be cool to catch him on his birthday :D

Anyway just wanted to share my trip :) I love spending time with him and he's a great best friend. Jon you're awesome and I'm always there for you! :D *hugs*

Love Always, Rebecca XOXOXO

Well after saying I'd do it for several months then getting distracted the bloody new profile collage is done for those who wanna check it out. It's done all in paint like the last one since I like how simple MSPaint can be for stuff like that. Photoshopping sometimes is overrated :) That being said maybe for 2009 I'll do a photoshopped version so you guys can compare. We'll see how I feel then.

Also for those wondering "Er...it's been a bit more than a week since your last virtual pet log..." Don't worry I'm still doing them, but just haven't gotten around to doing another log since the 4th because of it being so bloody hot in that computer room last week. I just wanted to stay cool and sleep almost all the time. Luckily today it's only a high of 20 so it'll be cooler in the house now, and with new pictures sitting on my computer BEGGING me to be put on my logs, I can't resist but do one tonight. So watch out for the log dated the same as this bloggy thingy.

As for what's been going on with me, June is "Only spend money when necessary" month which means no ebay spending and no overly spoiling myself this month. Again that being said I did find one thing on ebay I'm attempting to bid on mainly because if I didn't at least try I'd kick myself later. I won't say what it is on here because last thing I need is MORE competition. I will say though this item would be a MORE THAN WELCOME addition to my collection of virtual pets and if I can get it at a steal I will. Besides me saving money this month to put a ton on m Visa, I can't wait to go to Jon's in early july :D I bet that buck and doe will be awesome! Hopefully I'll get a decent amount of time with Jon afterwards. I know he'll be busy doing his thing, still would be nice though.

Anyway not much else to tell right now. See you guys later!

Love Always, Rebecca XOXOXO

Yes this is true! My Gaming Log is back up and running finally with wrapping up Pokemon Yellow and getting al pokemon on it. It shouldn't be too difficult, then I can move on to Pokemon Crystal which I've been itching to do for a while ;D So I highly recommended if you haven't already, check out the pokemon yellow logs and the new ones I've put in recently, and wait for more! It's gonna be awesome.

Also as you recall I was going to get some stuff done to my home computer which happened and is awesome, but the main issue right now is my quality in DJing is lacking. I can't reinstall the proggy I use to DJ for some reason, and have to use my mic on another program for music AND talking so it's kind of crap, but there's little I can do.

Finally I won't lie to you, I haven't hung out with anyone else really since Jon visited town on the 10th this month (he LOVED his wii and game and the pillows I made which made me super happy :D!) and Meghan's been busy. I actually didn't even bother trying to ask if she wanted to go swimming this week because of the long weekend we had and because she's probably tight on money...not to mention I'm lazy and didn't wanna tidy up the main parts of the house for her arrival :P I honestly haven't wanted much social interaction lately with the exception of wanting to hang out with Jonathan so I've been on my own a lot and stuff...and sometimes bored during the days I'm not at work. Meh.

And I haven't really wanted to talk to some people either. Not naming names but the people I just stated I don't wanna talk to much isn't Jon and it isn't Melz (in case she's reading this and is like OMFG! lol.). Mainly I've been detoured lately from chatting with some people online or on the phone because it's either always complaining, bitching, ranting about the government or ranting about having to spend money. Gotta heart the people in question to pieces but it's a fucking downer and a HUUUUUGE discouragement to wanna talk to them. I rant sometimes myself but these days I rather just keep it to myself and find other ways to vent so I don't have to deal with conflict. Don't know why I brought that up really but it's been annoying me for a while.

Guess I'm just not a people person lately lol. Aw well. Have a good one all and go read me logs! :D

Love Always, Rebecca XOXOXO

05/05/08

Month of April has been a lot of change for me. Bobbi at work decided to go back fulltime, so now I have no computer going into work now :P lol. I think another one is set up for when I go back this Wednesday, but let me say time away from the computer at work actually has made me appreciate my computer at home a lot more!

Will so even more since tomorrow my computer's finally going to get some upgrade action :D So it runs smoothly to access the work computer in Port Dover, it's getting more ram, another hard drive, and the shit taken out of it. It's going to RAWK LOL! Only downside is I'll have to live without it for the day tomorrow. Aw well ;) Mom's paying for it for me, and I'll be paying her back. She's an awesome mom, this is why I like to spoil her with small things here and there when I can.

Anyway updates to the site haven't happened much and this I know. As well as work changes with me, I've been busy planning events like the Spring Hatch, and the upcoming Ocean Challenge over at Tamagotchi Social Sphere. The spring hatch went great btw :D more information you can find in my May 2008 virtual pet logs. Also covering DJ shifts when I can at ewcradio.com since we're shorthanded on DJ's and have plenty of drama to fill in the void :P Love that, NOT. Hopefully things smooth over soon.

Besides this, Jon's visiting this weekend to pick up his pre-wedding gifts, and my social life right now is very, VERY small. I see Meghan about every other week, sometimes every week but I've been itching for some reason lately to meet new people online and in real life, as well as reconsider getting back to old people I used to talk to. Mind you it's a risky move going back to old people I used to talk to since some were assholes...but I haven't made any decisions yet so we shall see.

So I'm rambling now due to me being sleepy so keep your eyes out on anything else here, or my virtual pet log. Later!

Love Always, Rebecca XOXOXO

Man, March flew by rather quickly. So has that awful looking winter weather for the most part as well. It's not warm warm yet, but its enough for me to start my walks again as well as get back into exercising on my time off work. It'll be nice to begin losing weight again and being more active.

I've already started looking for more fun stuff to wear for later on in the year at Jon's wedding and so fourth. Never been so interested in wanting skirts before, but hey first time for everything lol.

Not much has gone on too much recently with me except for a couple things here and there. Finding out one of my friends is preggo again was awesome news to hear, and planning TSS's Spring hatch for early May, but not much else going on. I am actually happy about this lull in news since this means not much drama going on, and none I have to put up with ;D haha. Spring is definitely a nice breath of fresh air this year.

I will admit though after my trip to Jon's, he's been rather busy and not been able to talk as much, and not being able to hang out with others very often leaves me a little lonely for company online and/or in person. I wanna start planning on another time I can see him soon, I really do. Either May or June.

Anyway that's about it. Been quiet around here, and I'm enjoying it :) Later!

Love Always, Rebecca XOXOXO

03/12/08

Well the trip I've been waiting for in March for so long now is finally wrapping up and it went by way too fast. I had a blast and so much to tell about my time in Port hope this round, and I think I forgot how much I geniunely loved and enjoyed hanging with my best friend and being silly and having serious moments and stuff like that. Been so long since I had that much time like that so probably why I'm being a huge crybaby right now lol.

Anyway to move on to the good things on the trip. Saturday night was awesome yet cold. We were still in the storm's wrath when I showed up and Kristan insisted we must have cake for me at A&P so later that evening we ventured out to get stuff lol. It was a good cake that we picked out and same with the ice cream. I got hilarious pics of me with the cake if you're interested in seeing them (contact me privately).

I got rid of my crappy sneakers and crappy wallet and got new ones with Jon during our trips abroad shopping on the sunday. I also got 3 tamagotchi lanyards, another famitama, and an uno deck and lego knight kit for Jon so we could play uno later. Uno is an awesome game and anyone who tells you that lies. LIES.

Monday was Jon's day off so we went swimming. The hot tub he has here in Port hope at that place is super awesome. If I had water jets pushing on me like that, I wouldn't be wanting a boyfriend so badly if you get the hint lmao. I'm very envious I'll say that. The only thing that sucked BALLS was the fact he had to go to bed early because of his work putting him back on days temporarily...which wasn't fair I thought I'd have more time with him in the midnight area and they totally botched that up. Despite this setback it could have been worse. Anyway Jon's game system that can play NES and SNES games on it showed up so we set that up and got it working. I almost wrote a big ass letter explaining to them they need to clean those things before shipping them out because of dust fucking the console up, but we got it working. I just enjoy watching overs play a bit more on those things since I've never been that good with NES or SNES games lol.

Tuesday when he got home from work we had steaks for dinner and watched TV. We did play cards at one point but poor Jon knocked over the pop twice and he felt stupid and clumsy. I know how he feels, I always feel like a bull in a china shop in some people's houses, more than others obviously but yeah I can empathise. I gave him a big hug and told him it would be alright. I also got some funny pictures of us then too :)

Overall that's been it for me this last several days. It's been super fun and I enjoyed hanging out with both Jon and his fiancee. It went by so fast and come tomorrow sitting at my desk at work, I will wish I was still there lol. I really hope I can go on another trip like this soon or at least see Jon again in the near future.

My virtual pet logs will be resuming once I get home since I haven't had them on unpause since I got to Port Hope. Until then, this is Rebecca not wanting to leave port hope lol signing off.

Love Always, Rebecca XOXOXO

02/28/08

Well since my last little blog, I've learned quite a few things about myself. Main one being don't keep making promises on updates and a timeline of said updates lol. Just do it when the mood strikes me :P Everytime I say "Oh I'm going to get that collage done..." it never does so I'll just do it whenever ;D Easier that way. It will get done though...just don't know when. When I stop being lazy perhaps? XD! Also got other ideas I'm still pondering over for the website at the moment.

I also learned that I'm not a type 1 diabetic according to my blood sugar pattern I've been following since being dianosed. If I wasn't producing insulin, it would show, and obviously the numbers have gone down quite a bit and have a certain pattern to them so methinks I'll just have to be on medication to stimulate the pancreas for more insulin or something like that. At least once I'm on something to regulate my blood sugar, then I won't need to feel as restricted to my current diet. I'll be looking forward to that. So the changing diet and increasing awareness of my body has been going well.

Finally I learned not to mess with what you have on your computer that's for your mp3 player. I didn't want quicktime on my computer so I uninstalled it. Bad move. My mp3 player software wouldn't work after that right so I had to reinstall the whole software to put quicktime back. Blah. Oh well. Least now the stuff seems to work even better the second time. I got the little bugger loaded with some video and music so my train ride to Jon's place will go by faster since I'll be preoccupied. Which is a good thing.

Anyway just felt like letting you know what's been going on. February went by pretty quickly. Hopefully March will be a little slower so I can enjoy my birthday and trip to Jon's more :) Have a good one!

Love Always, Rebecca XOXOXO

02/17/08

Well lots has gone on since my last little spiel so I should probably let some of you know what's up.

First off the weather. It needs to make up it's mind. If it's gonna be cold, be cold. But don't go from cold to warmer back to cold. It's a paaaain especially when ice forms on the roads and sidewalks. I honestly would love some spring weather right now and I'd love to not have to shovel anymore this year.

Next is my updates. I've been a tad slow on them I know, and I honestly haven't had the motivation to get back into my gaming logs. It's either lack of chance of lack of energy. Not sure which but could be both...if that makes sense LOL. I also still need to make a new collage and some requests from people on a forum I go on, so eventually those will get done. Basically my virtual pet logs have been the only thing I seem to be regular with right now.

Finally, my health. During a typical depo shot injection at the walkin clinic on the 9th, the doctor at the time was concerned about me because my urine sample showed sugar in it. I got blood work done that following tuesday, as well as a weird ass virus, and then the 14th I found out I'm a diabetic. You can tell I was just overjoyed about this dianostic, not lol. Seriously though gotta keep a decent attitude on it since I'll have to get more tests done and such to figure out what kind of diabetic I am. I'm thinking type 2 and hoping it's just type 2. But in the meantime I'm just crossing bridges as I come to them. I'm gonna continue to stay as neutral as possible until I find out more about my new challenges, but trust me, when I get to these challenges I will rape them with my awesomeness ;D lol. Point is really don't feel sorry for me when you are reading this. Shit happens, and it could be worse. I can manage it and if you ever have this problem, I know you the reader can to :)

Anyway after I went to the clinic that evening I began to lose my voice thanks to this weird ass bug I got tuesday night. It was not only effecting my throat but also the side of my head/ear making it ache even though there was no infection. I basically had no voice after talking to Jon at around 12:30 in the morning on friday, and my vocal issues continued well into saturday. Today my voice has recovered. It went from 10-15% to what I guess is 40-50% so this is a little good news that my recovery is on it's way soon.

Coming up tomorrow will be the first ever Ontario holiday known as Family Day. My mother is thinking of going somewhere to eat tomorrow to spoil me with some good foodies before I'll have to have a complete diet makeover which will be very nice ^_^ She'll also be taking me to this diabetic clinic thing on the following tuesday as support which of course I appreciate. Cheers to awesome moms like her, seriously.

Well I think I went in all directions this blog, but it's all good. I also apologize before I end this to any of my EWCRadio listeners for thursday and friday not being on to DJ. With all this stuff happening and losing my voice, hopefully you understand now why I've been absent a bit. Once my voice completely returns I will be DJing again. Thank you to all my friends so far for the support lately, and let's take all this new developments one day at a time :) It's easier this way!

Love Always, Rebecca XOXOXO

02/02/08

Okay before I tell you what's up now, let me just let you guys know now from my last little rant on here that everything is fine. I talked to Drew the same day I got the news from Bobbi and he isn't firing me. He figured I might still be wanting to change careers into radio, and I cleared that up with him saying there's no chance of that happening now. Honestly why bother leaving a place I really enjoy for a place that hasn't even called me back when they said they would? That makes no sense. I haven't given up on radio, but as far as I'm concerned, it's a hobby job to me now if I get any work on the side :P So yeah starting Aprilish, Bobbi will be on fulltime in the front and I'll be doing more specific training then on estates and other stuff. Well least I won't have to answer calls anymore lol. Drew is an awesome boss, lemme tell ya! Cheers to him and hope some bosses try to be like him more.

Anyway now that I said that, today I'm sore mostly from shovelling two days in a row. I postponed my swimming until sunday so my back can recover a little. Least couple good things today were I didn't have to shovel two streets today, just one (I live on a corner of 2 streets so I normally have to do two). I also got $10 for doing both streets yesterday, thank you mums ^_^

As for updates not too many. I will be looking into making a new profile collage pic of myself soon, this I know for now.  Rest of it is still up in the air...like that effin' snow >_< No more snow please weather goddess, rain is okay since I don't have to shovel it...just no more snow lol. Later all!

Love Always, Rebecca XOXOXO

01/25/08

I've had some awesome good stuff happening to me this week. From getting my train ticket to see Jon in march, to getting my G1 licence with my picture on it in the mail, it's been pretty sweet. Fridays generally for me go great, but right now I'm a bit bummed out and worried about where I'll be in the next few months.

Bobbi, as mentioned in my previous work related rants and such told me this morning before lunch she wants to go into full time employment again and that the chance my job could be terminated is floating around. Let me remind those who've read my rants on her before, or are just visiting my site now that Bobbi has a "flighty" thing to her personality. First couple weeks of working at this law office she was not in the picture helping me train and I was flying Solo. She's also been rather rude with me during her stressing times with herself and generally her reliability is crap in my eyes. Nice woman overall but she needs to pick something and stick with it. First she was gonna be a singer, then a model then this then that and now apparently I could lose my job because she decides she needs full time back.

I get her position on one hand. She has a kid and a lot more bills to pay than me. On the other though, this decision to go full time...who knows how long she'll suddenly want to go back to part time. This is rather crappy for me as I don't know what Drew will do since she's already talked to him. Main scenarios I see play out are:

1. I keep my job, Bobbi will either have to accept that or find fulltime somewhere else.

2. I lose my job and will be right back where I started last year before August hit, and I'll have to bug and plead with CKPC to hire me or something.

Or 3. Drew lets Bobbi go for her past flightiness and I get upgraded to part time which is better in pay, but won't have really any free time during the week.

Mind you these are the main three scenarios I see myself in sometime in Aprilish or sooner or later (whatever). It could be different, and I'm just hoping I stay employed. I get that someone needs to feed their kid, but I got debts to get rid of too! Plus I was just saying to someone the other day I really enjoy this job and the people. It has it's frustrating times like all jobs can have, but overall I'm learning new things and I've adapted to a lot of new stuff. I really don't want it to end. I've only been at this job for 4-5ish months. I really don't feel it's fair at all but at this point I have no idea what will be my fate with this job, nor do I have control over this thing.

I'm still pretty unhappy bout this since this was out of the blue, and frankly, I could of went through today without hearing about this. Couple months warning or not, it still fucking sucks.

Anyway, just needed to get that off my chest. I'm hoping my weekend will make things a little better for me. I'm hoping I'll be talking to Drew, and this can either be resolved or I can at least get an answer. Later all!

Love Always, Rebecca XOXOXO

01/11/08

I already said this in my virtual pet log, but happy new year belatedly speaking lol. I haven't had too much to really talk about to put on this blog thingy yet, but after a bit of time to settle back into normal work hours and such, I'm ready to ramble on now ;)

New years was quiet, but better than it being dramatic. I made some renewals on resolutions like continue to lose weight and keep drama out of my life, as well create some new ones like get my G1 driver's licence (which I got yesterday) and work on improving my memory because lately my forgetfulness has been a little bad :P

I also promised myself I'd do some updates to my site soon so I will get those done. The updates will include resuming my gaming log which kind of died last year, making a new collage for my profile page and looking into putting pics of my friends on their page (I've just been lazy to ask their permission to do that first). I might also update the website's look, but not sure yet.

One more thing I promised myself I'd do is a complete count of all of my virtual pets before my 22nd birthday. I'm mostly letting my ebay purchases catch up with me so by Februaryish I can do a full count of all of them. Last time I counted it was 55. It's obviously gone over that now, but I need a recount. So expect me sometime in February to get the count done there.

I think that's pretty much it so far. Keep an eye out for my updates guys :)

Well before I tell you how I spent my holidays, just letting you guys know who were curious about my last blog about my hair, it turned out fine, and now it's bright red streaks on darker red hair, so it works out, especially with my bangs :D

Anyway Christmas eve, my mother and I went to Toni's place to exchange gifts and just relax. It was nice to sit down with people you genuinely respect and have some interesting conversations. I sometimes don't like talking with Toni's son Jake since the conversations get awkward, but for once in a long time it wasn't bad at all, and definitely not awkward. I think he's finally grown up a bit which is a nice change so kudos!

After we got home mom and I decided to open our gifts that night before bed so we didn't have to think about it next day while still half awake lol. I got mom some super awesome oven mitts with pot holders, and 2 really spiffy kimono wrap tops with black shells that fit her really great! She also got some spiffy stuff from Toni such as this little trinket that says "I got the cat in exchange for my husband, it was a fair trade" lol.

Mom got me some awesome PJ pants, an mp3 player and $100 to put towards getting my G1 driving licence :) Toni got me some awesome shampoo and conditioner which I tried this morning (it's so niiiiiiice ^_^), a littlebook to write down my scribbly notes, and some lounging PJ's. They're really nice looking but a little small on me for the top...but when I lose more weight hopefully that'll probably change.

So Christmas day mom and I went to hamilton to see my grandmother and get her ready to go out and we would be having dinner at this fancy restaurant. I believe it was the Sheraton but I could be wrong. It was not bad food overall and it was nice to see my cousins and aunt and uncle again. It's been a while. Only downside was my grandmother was grumbling about how the handicapp washroom wasn't very efficient. She had a lot of trouble getting in and out of the stall since it wasn't wide enough for a wheelchair.

Despite this flaw, I enjoyed myself and so did my mother. We dropped my grandmother off at the nursing home and went back home, both of us tired...however neither of us went to bed as soon as we got home since we both HAD to watch the sound of music on television LOL those nuns are badass awesome ;D

Finally Boxing day, I did some cleaning and had the 2007 holiday hatch at Tamagotchi Social Sphere. It was great and the turnout was amazing. I DJ'd for both that chatroom and EWCRadio's chatroom and it turned out I had a decent amount of listeners! I was very pleased. It was nice to get together in the chatrooms and see people and catch up on the times and such. I really missed this feeling at TSS and I'm glad this wonderful feeling has returned.

Well I'm at work now for today and tomorrow, then tomorrow night I gotta do some last minute cleaning because Jon's dropping by to gimme his christmas present :D I'll let you know how it goes and hopefully we'll get some pictures. Have a good one everybody!

If any of you have hair like mine, brunette ish or darkly coloured at this point in time, do not use the blonde chunking kit. I found this out the hard way :P I wanted to put some nice chunky blond streaks in my hair as a change from my usual blacks, reds and anywhere in between.

Well the only hair on my head that went blonde was my roots, the streaks were a really pretty redish orange with my darker hair, but the super blonde roots looked bizarre. So my mother and I rushed to the store to seek a touch up kit to mend this problem.

Well no touch up kits, but we found a copperish red that would match up and even things out everywhere on my head...so I thought. We get home, I put some on my head, not too much just enough for the roots to change and wash out easily. The blonde roots were gone but now my roots were fire engine red! Only way to really correct it all now was to so my whole head and hope my lightened streaks from earlier today will work with the top of my head as well.

So I'm sitting here with my head soaking in this goo as we speak for the 20-30 minutes it takes AGAIN and I'll be rinsing my hair out AGAIN and drying it AGAIN. Fun huh? This experimenting and trying to do something different has taught me not only how not to be so carefree in colour selection for my hair, I also re-learned why blondes and blonde colours are so annoying. Nothing against anyone who has naturally blonde hair, but the majority of you who I met in the past are just as difficult as the chunking kit I purchased days ago. Just work the first time god damnit :P

Cross your fingers guys at my poor hair's abuse today lol.

Love Always, Rebecca XOXOXO
