I need to stop this once-a-year blogging thing.

I need to write more. I even bought a new notebook like, a month ago, and I haven't written anything in it yet.

I also haven't started writing a book yet, which is something I wanted to start doing in 2011. And it's already halfway through February!

I fail.

jeeeeeeze it's been so long!
remember all those times i said i was tired of being in school, and i'm ready for real life.. well here it is. i'm done school and started interning at a publishing company which i LOVE. it's nice and close to my house, and i work with great people. im really crossing my fingers that they hire me after..thaaat would be amazing. so much has happened since i've last blogged (in DECEMBER. i'm terrible). i guess the biggest thing is the whole finishing school landmark. it's a great feeling, but kind of strange that i won't be going back to school in september. part of the reason why i want to keep blogging is because a lot of my jschool friends have blogs, and i think it's a cool way to see what everyone's been up to.

not much really has happened. i've just been interning and working at a job that actually pays me on weekends. im exhausted, but it won't be for much longer.. and some people have it wayyyy worse, i'm sure. hit a bit (ok, a little bigger than a bit) of a rough patch for a while but things are going to be okay. i think.. they will be. and i just found out my cousins from italy are coming in june for two weeks and i am SO excited!

today i went to alesha's baby shower, and met baby logan.. hes beautiful and has soo much hair! i had to work though, so i just stopped by lauras house on my lunch break. it was nice to see all the girls again! after work, i went for ice cream with sarah and kirby (alex's sister-in-law and nephew) while alex and casey (his brother) were at baseball practice. andrea met us there and then we went to the park after and i could have stayed on the swings for hours. it was great.

i'm rambling so much. i'm going to try to keep up with this now that i *should* have some more time on my hands.

oh i feel like it's been so long. i could say im too busy to blog but really i do nothing with my life. hello procrastination.
i am so ready for christmas break.. there are some people i need to get away from, and some people i reeeeally need to spend more time with.

creepy..

so i've recently stumbled upon someone's blog and as i was perusing facebook and while i was browsing through it, i read their little bio section. and while i was reading, i discovered it sounded kind of familiar.
and their bio was basically my bio.

ie. she had copied and pasted my "about me" from facebook (which i changed a while ago.. now kicking myself, wishing i could read it for comparison) and changed the parts that she liked. ie. mine said something like:

i have a slight obsession with shoes. and by slight i mean i own over 40 pairs. i love to love and be loved. i'm addicted to chai lattes and peppermint mochas in the winter and passion iced tea lemonade in the summer. i wish it could be summer the whole year 'round.

and hers reads:

i have a slight obsession with purses & by slight i mean it's a crazy, expensive love affair <3. i love to love & be loved in return.I’m addicted to chocolate chillers,ice caps,strawberry lemonade & green tea lattes. i wish it could be summer the whole year 'round.

as hers continues on, the similarities don't stop.

this person is a classmate of mine. in the journalism program. so although this isn't that big of a deal, this kind of frustrates me because:
1) i hate it when people steal my shit. it has happened before, where someone has stolen what i have written. that's irritating because those are MY thoughts and MY words. plus, it's creepy, so don't do that.
and
2) you're an aspiring journalist and you can't even write your own mini-bio for your personal blog..you have to copy someone else's? that, i don't understand.

i WILL be successful in this business because i CAN think for myself.






EDIT: i forgot my advent calendar at home. sad. happy december 1!

my favourite book.

december makes me think of this song.
it's perfect. <3

..................................................................................

i was always late, you never afraid, that we could be falling
all our friends would say, maybe we should wait, but they can't see what's coming
and to this day, when everything breaks, you are the anchor that holds me

and that is why we'll always make it.

how i know your face, all the ways you move, you come in, i can read you
you're my favourite book
all the things you say, the way you shift your eyes
i never knew there was someone, to make me come alive

when the days are long, and the thunder with the storm, can always get me crying
you can make my bed, i'll fall into it, shattered but not lonely
because i never knew a home, until i found your hands, when i'm weathered
you come to me, you're my best friend

and that is why we'll always make it

how i know your face, all the ways you move, you come in, i can read you
you're my favourite book
all the things you say, the way you shift your eyes
i never knew there was someone, to make me come alive

and when we're making love
i'd give up everything up for your touch

how i know your face, all the ways you move, you come in, i can read you
you're my favourite book
all the things you say, the way you shift your eyes
i never knew there was someone, to make me come alive

when you go to work all the day i wait
for you to come home, recount our time, in our little place.






love. <3

one more..

here's another rant about not growing up.
my best friend got engaged last night and i am SO happy for them!
and i'm still doing homework on a Saturday afternoon. gah!
but i am sooooo so excited for ashley & justin and i can't wait to help her plan her wedding! laura and i were already planning the bachelorette last night when we found out. SO so excited!!! <3

I can't believe how quickly this semester has flown by. Christmas Eve is a month away - ridiculous! I haven't even started my Christmas shopping yet, and I have no clue what to get anyone. I love shopping for other people but I hate shopping with a deadline - funny that deadlines are a huge part of my life haha. I'd rather buy stuff as I go along - trouble is, I haven't BEEN shopping in what feels like forever. I'm exercising self-control in staying away from the malls because I am dirt poor. I would so love to buy a new party dress. they always make me feel better.

today is my last Tuesday off because the next three weeks i'm on layout for the paper. so much for sleeping in until 11am. i loved that. Now i'll be in the newsroom for 8am.blahh!

i really don't have anything else to say.
