NEW LAYOUT! I'll miss my Leggy and Aragorn, but I needed something brighter for spring/summer. I knew it would be Dean for my next layout, but I guess the season finale of SPN just made me jump into gear with getting it done. *pats him on the head* And of course I now have Burger!Dean as my default icon. :D

Yesterday my mum and I went out and did a little shopping. It was nice because we hardly do stuff like that anymore. Anyway, I got a new purse (and 60% off to boot!) because the one I'm using is starting to fall apart. I also found these awesome sandals/flip flops at Claire's and I got the last pair in my size! And to make things even better when the girl rang them up they charged me the US price and not the Canadian! I definitely will not say no to that.

Tomorrow the send out the letters to let people know who got into the IDEA program or not, so I should be getting mine hopefully sometime this week. I'm getting really nervous about it, but I still have a good feeling.

Hobbit! Hobbit! Hobbit! Hobbit! Hobbit! Now that I've had some hours to digest that there will indeed be a Hobbit movie (plus one more!) I am now hell bent to see Sir Ian as Gandalf again. I mean you cannot have Gandalf without Sir Ian, it's just not right. I'm sure he'll be on board since PJ and Fran are producing.

TORN also post some speculation on what the sequel could be. If so maybe we'd get to see Elijah, Billeh, Dom, Viggo and Sean again? Oh, man that would just be... GAH! Words cannot describe. OR MAYBE BABY FRODO!!! EEEEE!!!1

I have some thank you's! daizalicious, I got your card and it's very cute! Everyone looks awesome. I hope we're able to connect soon, I miss talking with you. jenniferkaos, thank you and for the kind words! It was very sweet of you. :)

I'm confused. It said on my guide that NCIS was new tonight, so I got all excited, but I'm watching it and it's just the repeat of the season premiere. Zuh? I guess they changed the scheduling around with the strike and stuff.

Yesterday gremmie_goo and I went on a major shopping spree. I'm basically done with everything now, I just have to wrap it all. Now I'm feeling the aftermath of my shopping and yeah, I'm just glad I get paid Friday (because I don't like being in my overdraft). Anyway, we had fun and we're going to try and get together to see Enchanted later in the week.

When Goo dropped me home we were met by Tigger and his brother, both with bells on. We tried to find out what the brother's name was, but he moved before we could look at his tag. After Goo left and when my mum got home she said that one of them followed her down the path, so I went out to say hi and it turned out it was the brother. I managed to get his tag and found out his name is Fluffy. Yep. Fluffy. I mean you hear about cats being named fluffy in movies and stories, but to actually see a cat named Fluffy is kinda... weird. LOL The poor guy! And he isn't even fluffy; he's short haired! I'm figuring that kids named them.

Thank you to everyone for your love and well wishes for my mom in my last post. She's fine, the doctor said there was no actual damage to the eye, so it's all good. It just looks gross.

I had to go to Wal Mart earlier to get shampoo and afterwards mum and I went and had dinner. It was nice because we don't do that stuff as much as we used to. Either I'm working on her days off and she's working on my days off, it's kinda hard to connect.

I'm also done with a lot of my shopping, it's a nice feeling to have.

More proof that Grunny is made of Awesome. These pics are adorkable.

Welcome to everyone who friended me in the Heroes friending meme! :)

Holy crap, it's June. How'd that happen? I've been so preoccupied with other things I just realized today that my birthday is in 2 weeks. o.O That kind freaked me out. *cough*wishlist*cough*

The Canadian dollar is at $0.94 US. I really wish I could go down to the states and shop, especially Target, because I haven't been to Target since I was about 11 or 12. Dear Target, come to Canada. Kthnx.

I'm honestly amazed at how well Tinkerbell is doing. It's almost like she was born here, she's just moved herself right in. She loves to be outside and loves chasing bugs. Her and Eowyn still avoid each other, so they haven't really bonded. They may never get really friendly or they could become best buds. It hasn't even been a week yet, so we've got time. She snuck out the other night and ended up about 3 feet away from a raccoon. Gave me a heart attack, but luckily the raccoon didn't really care (it was one of the babies from last year) and didn't do anything. I just picked her up and threw her inside. Tink seems to have some outdoor sense (the shelter said she was a stray), but she needs some 'non kitty' animal sense.

This icon is seriously providing me with way too much joy. I just cannot stop looking at it and cracking up.

This past week has been rough ( cut for venting )

Hopefully next week will be the last week of school for me. My teacher just kept giving me project after project and I really started to feel like I'll never get it done. Right now I have one project left and then when I'm done that then I'm done. Done with high school. Done with feeling like I wasn't as good as my friends when I was in school because I didn't graduate with a full diploma. I'm 22 years old (23 in two weeks - holy crap) and on June 27th I'll officially be graduated. gremmie_goo said she would come to the ceremony and that means so much, because even though I had 'friends' when I graduated in 2002 it didn't really mean much. Even though Goo and I didn't go to school together having her there will make it more personal and fun. Oh, and my mum and dad will be there as well. LOL Of course they'll be there. I put them through hell with school. Depression reared it's ugly head and I just couldn't cope. Some days I couldn't even function or do anything. Going to school some days was like I was going to my execution. That's how powerful it was and how damaging. I didn't do drugs. I didn't get in trouble. I wasn't bullied. I didn't get horrible marks (when I was there), it was just the fact that I would miss days, weeks and sometimes even months of school at a time. Because I wasn't there I just freaked out at how behind I was and it just made everything worse. It was a vicious cycle.

I also didn't feel like I could be me. The Internet is really the first place that I've felt free to express who I really am and what ii'm about and to see how many people I've met and have become friends with has boggled my mind. I didn't think I'd ever have people who wanted to be friends with me because of who I truly am. I guess I was wrong.

Thinking back now I think I should have dropped out for a year or two, gotten my shit together and then go back. But that didn't happen, this is the way it happened and now I'm almost done and I can get this monkey off my back.

Wow, I don't think I've ever really gone into that much detail on here about when I was in high school.

Now I feel like I want to lock this post, but I don't think I will. I am who I am and if you don't like it then you can go somewhere else.

It looks as if all this LJ drama has calmed down. I'm not going to go into a lot about what I thought and such, all I will say is that LJ's heart is in the right place, but I think they should have done a little thinking and/or research before they just started deleting journals and causing a mass panic.

I want to go away this summer. I haven't been to the cabin in over two years which is the longest I've ever been away from it. Right now I don't even know if it's still standing. LOL Dad said he'll get us over there hell or high water. All I want to do is sit on the deck and read and read and read (and other things). I'm so burnt out. I need to get away. That's one of the things I love about the cabin. No electricity. No running water (ok, that I don't love as much). No phones, cars, roads ect. No anything. I can just sit on the deck or beach or whatever and do whatever the hell I want.

After 5 years here on LJ, I think I want to change my user name. Nothing drastic, but it figures the user name I want is taken! I hate that. And to make it more frustrating it looks as if they haven't updated their journal in almost a year (ironically the last entry posted was on my birthday). I dunno. I guess I'll just keep the one I have, or I'll see if I can contact the person and if they are still reachable maybe we could work something out.

I really want some Ben and Jerry's Half Baked ice cream. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ice cream.

I also need a hair cut.

I made a bunch of Heroes icons and posted them over at bunny_icons

Fuck, this entry was long. If you read it then... uh... *hands you a bottle of booze*

I went out today and did some window shopping and did end up with a very nice purchase. It's a blue lamp/lantern, like one of those Chinese paper lanterns, only it's made of this nice cloth and has moons and stars all over it. The best part? Regular price was $40 and it was 75% off! I couldn't refuse that. I've been looking for a small lamp for my room and this is perfect.

I've gotten my muse back so I'm going to work on some of my art and maybe some icons for spnicon100 (go sign up and make icons if you're interested).

Today was nice. I requested the day off work because I had a dentist appointment. It only took an hour, but I thought I'd be bad and take the whole day off.

Mum also had the day off so after my appointment we went shopping. We haven't just been 'shopping' for a long time. Just going into shops and looking at stuff. She got a new pair of earrings (on sale for $8, yay for sale items!) and I got a new bracelet (on sale for $9. Again, yay for sale items!) and some hair clips (buy one get one free. Did I mention I like sales? LOL). We then had lunch at the malls brand new food court and poked around some more.

We went into the pet store and looked at the puppies and kitties and said hello to Elmo, who is the parrot who lives there. He's been there since before I can remember, so he's probably older than me. Afterwards we went into Future Shop.

I haven't bought anything from Future Shop for months because of our money problems. Anyone who knows me knows that I rarely leave Future Shop without anything. I just wanted to check the price of season 6 of Hercules TLJ and X-Files season 1. I heard the X-Files DVD's have been going down in price (thank god!). Anyway Herc S6 was $35.99 and X-Files S1 was $49.99. Talk about a price drop, the last I saw them they were about $80-$100 a season. I showed mum, dropping hints for my birthday even though I know I won't get much, and she said that I could get one. I almost fell over. I haven't made a purchase like that for months or gotten permission for one like it. Come to think of it I don't remember when I last got a DVD (still don't have Elizabethtown, either). I know mum's been feeling really bad for me and our situation. She knows I want to save up for stuff but can't. Guess which one I got? Neither. Why, I don't know. But I know I'll get them someday, so I left with nothing and felt alright about it.

When we got home we let George out. He was in the window meowing at us as we came down the driveway. Poor guy. He came in and started meowing at us for food. He has one of the loudest meows I've ever heard. Silly boy. After he finished the leftover kitty food I thought I'd take a picture or two of him. I was very surprised when I found out he was the biggest camera whore ever. He just sat there and posed and posed. It was hilarious.
