My arms ache like I worked out at the gym. Although, no gym was involved. Instead, I carried two loads of laundry two blocks down the street to the laundromat. That is why my arms are sore. I'm chilling on the couch with my roomies + Rumple and Randy. We are currently watching the movie Joy Ride -- but only because we have watched every other movie we own and this one is good for a laugh because its just that terrible.
My living situation for the fall is starting to worry me a lot. I'm pretty sure that we won't be able to stay in this house in the fall, and I believe some of the roomies will be moving home. I don't want to end up homeless again like I did in January...
One more work day until my day off on friday and payday!!

Live Your Life?
American Eagle is slowing stealing my life. I happened to take an adventure to the mall today on my day off, only to find out that my district manager is going to be there tomorrow, as well as my day off on friday was taken away. My next day off isn't until next monday again. Ugh. Another week of hell here we go!
I'm also officially broke, again. I get paid on friday, but that paycheck needs to go towards rent and my many many overdue bills. Yuck! I'm somewhat worried as to my food situation and my travelling to work situation due to the 6 dollars I have in my bank account.
I picked up my diploma at the post office this afternoon. I can't believe I paid $27, 591 for this piece of paper written entirely in latin with my name on it and a golden stamp.
I feel alone, although I'm surrounded by my great friends.

Upon proofreading this entry, I have determined a lot of it makes no sense.
I'm chilling in shotgun at my residence on Charlotte. It's 1:14am. It's the end of my 6 day work stretch for the week. Tomorrow is my day off. Thats besides the point though. The point is, I've come to realise I have failed at every single resolution I had created last week. Disappointing I know. That just means I have to try extra hard to make up for my lack of motivation.
I am not the only person in this city with a red lighter AND a pink lighter stashed in their purse simultaneously.
I am trying to forecast my day for tomorrow, but due to the raaaaiiiiiny weather right now, its hard to say whether or not I'm going to want to run any errands by foot. And by foot is unfortunately my only option. I have about 10 loads of dirty laundry to wash; I need to go to the post office to pick up a package (I'm guessing its my diploma!); Visiting Laura at Second Cup is a good choice for a midday pick-me-up; I would like to make it to the gym at some point; tanning is also a good option; perhaps even venture to H&R Block to finally get my taxes finished from 2005 and 2006! Fun filled day. Although (and being the nerd I am, I really am thinking about this) if I had a series of statistics from the probability that I will actually do all (or any) of these activities tomorrow and determined a trend, its probably a safe assumption to assume I will not get all of this done. End of story.

Some random resolutions.
Gill + Miray + a day off = one CLEAN mothafuckin house.
Gill + Miray + a visit from Rumple = one well deserved reward for cleaning.
We rock!
These are the final hours of my last day off for as long as I can see from work. I work ALL this week, and all weekend. That means I'm going to have to go easy on the drinking. (I guess thats good for the wallet tho.) But in light of the lack of alcoholism, I've decided this would be the perfect week to try and turn my life in another direction.
For one, I need to cut back on smoking. Smoking of all sorts;) You know that I can't just quit cold turkey because every last pack I buy is never my last pack. But I'm going to set myself a limit and I need to try my hardest to stick with it. So if by chance I'm grumpy or snappy at you, I'm sorry. It's my body going through withdrawal from lack of nicotine!
Two, I need to start working out. I'm paying for the gym, but not going. Mega waste of money. The only roadblock in my way right now is I'm going through my arthritis symptoms again! I'm gimped up on the couch as I type. If I start being able to walk without a limp I must will myself to go.
Three - I need to stop spending my money on mall junk/fast food. Period. No ifs ands or buts... (Unless I'm super hungover and need my double cheeseburger meal with extra pickles and a diet coke before work).
Four. My body is dying from dehydration. I never drink water. I must start carrying my Nalgene full of water with me at all times.
And finally the infamous FIVE. I need to will my body into going to bed before 1am, especially when work in the AM is involved. This includes cutting back on my terrible habit of setting my alarm 45 minutes early just so I can press snooze a rediculous amount of times.
AND if any of my roommates happen to actually read this entire post of ramblings, I insist they yell at me if I don't follow any of these rules. Because realistically, I probably won't. Especially the sleeping one. Alright, enough of my rambling. I must go back to breaking a few of these rules I set for myself.

"Ohhhh Now I'm going to smell like a boy!"
After a random night out with Heat and a pint and a half of vodka I arrived to work the next afternoon. Within 10 minutes of starting my shift, an odd man came over to me and handed me a bottle of our mens cologne, which was clearly malfunctioning. It was hissing and spraying cologne everywhere and wouldn't stop! I grabbed it in confusion and said: "Oh. Thats reeeeally weird." And on my way out back with this hissing bottle of cologne, my hands and feet got soaked and I smelled like a boy wearing too much cologne for the rest of my shift.

Roller coaster riiiide!
So Laura and I were having a pow-wow on her bed. It's a beautiful sunny/WINDY day. I'm staring out the open window, when I see this beach ball fly up onto the roof...and roll off the other side...into someone else's yard. BAHAAHAHA!

A much needed update on my drinking shananagans.
So last night I got wrecked. I mean really really wrecked. But I had a good reason. The original plan was Jimmy Swift. I drank about a pint of vodka (thankfully mixed with my good friend Powerade) and Claire, Gort, Stevenson and I headed up to the Cellar around 12:30. Unfortunately there was a massive lineup so we decided to check out the Social Club upstairs to see how the lineup was... Of course there was also a very slowly moving line. Undecided we stood there for a few minutes trying to decide what to do when I saw Jon, my lab partner. I told him about my situation, and probably a few other things (I was drunk ok!) and he let us go through the VIP entrance. That meant no waiting in line and no cover! That scored me a ten sheet which went towards 2 for 1 Keiths. The last point of the night that I remember was playing fuseball terribly...
I awoke this morning to the sound of Brad Birds voice -- "GILL! GILL! WAKE UP!!! It's 10:45!!"
My first thoughts were: Oh my god...I'm an hour and 45 minutes late for work, FUCK FUCK FUCK!
"No Gill, its SEVEN-45, your not late, your alarm just went off. I slept in your bed." - Bird
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was a wall. A white wall that looked oddly like my own white wall beside my own bed. I was face down on Kristys bed. I was still hammered...and now very confused. I stumbled off the bed, and upstairs (not paying any attention to what Brad Bird was wearing) reset my own alarm to 8:30 and passed back out. When I reawoke, I noticed that I had 7 rocks in my back pocket. What the hell was I doing with rocks in my pocket? And they weren't normal rocks. These were Lauras rocks, with paintings of little creatures and mooses and lizards and stuff. Was I trying to sneak off with them?
Anyways, I drove to work for a morning floorset at 9am still friggin hammered. Oops.
I later found out that I passed out all around the house last night (I have no recollection of anything after about midway through the S Club) and I guess I didn't want to go sleep in my own bed so Bird carried me into Kristys room and I passed out there. He took over my bed, and... apparently was also wearing my boxers because he didn't want to sleep in my bed naked. I didn't notice, the events of this morning are hazy as well. I also found out later that it was Claire who put the rocks in my pocket. Phew! I thought I might have been going a little crazy. I can't recall if I puked last night or not either. Annnnd.... I'm still haggered. I should not be allowed to drink when I'm feeling down because I tend to go a little overboard. And probably get a bit too emotional afterwards. (But I can't remember...??)
Tomorrow is my first day off from work in 14 days! How should I spend it? A new haircut perhaps?

410 Charlotte Manor
Ok, the reason it's been such a long and brutal wait for any more posts was due to the fact that when we moved into our place on Charlotte we didn't have the internet for a bit. Anyways, this house is amazing. Absolutely amazing. I can't describe how much I love it, how big it is, or how much character it has. Or how awesome all my roommates are. Even the ones that technically don't live there -- but do.
In point form:
- girls on top!
- POKER (POKE HER?)
- charlotte manor
- bong spills, coffee spills...water spills...a carpet burn mark?
- clutziest roommates ever
- kristy, brand new roommate addition
- passed the fuck out.
- sun porch smokes
- parking ruckuses
- Mario Kart: Double Dash competitions
- noise warnings
- "Why do we have NINE toothbrushes? oh wait...I can't count. SEVEN. Seven toothbrushes..."
- "Wow, theres a lot of dream team in that box."
- Missing pizza...garlic fingers...ten dollars....digital fucking camera?!?!
- I heart C.T.
Anyways, Slor and I started up the gym again, I'm attempting a quit at yets (if I last a week, I was offered a pint and a pack of smokes..) and I am on the hunt for a full-time job. Go me!

Countdown to Girls on Top: 4 days!
I just found out that we are allowed to move into our new apartment on Charlotte early -- on FRIDAY! I'm so excited to move all my stuff in and finally have a place to call my own again! It's going to be a grrrreat weekend. Tonight I'm working at AE from 4 until 10. Then I gotta work on my Animal phys lab report... Yay.

Go Team WALL!
Farva helped me shovel the driveway here at Forest Hills so I could unstuck my car from the massive amount of snow on the ground. It took us about an hour and a half. I then rushed to the mall for the AE spring 1 floorset where I did another 10 hours of demanding physical activity building mens walls and filling them until 5am. It wasn't that bad though. We ordered pizza, took many photos, and had some silly prizes.. In fact, I WON a lanyard that says LOSER on it. Ironic? I'm extremely sore today though. It feels like I went to the gym for 10 hours. My entire body aches. I also have a massive bruise on my knee from tripping and going knee first into the hardwood floor at AE. If anyone would have seen it they would have laughed because I had tripped and dived behind a table full of clothes... Oh well...at least I didn't fall off the ladder...
A great opportunity that will help put my life on the right track lies ahead of me and I can actually SEE it. *crosses fingers*
What fun adventures await me on this sunny sunday?

Blah.
Everything seems so far away and just out of reach. I'm having one of those days where I feel really alone and depressed for no apparent reason. I want to breakdown and have a huge cryfest but I am struggling to hold back tears because I'm sitting on the couch in the boys house in the living room. I have no where to go for any real privacy. Its times like this where the ld thing is harder and I just want someone here in my couch cocoon to talk to. Alright, Farva just arrived. Time to pretend everything is dandy and put on my happy face. Spring floorset is tonight and for some reason unknown to me I volunteered to come in 2 hours early. So I'm working overnight from 7pm to 5am. Perhaps its because the mall was cancelled last night and I didn't get to go in for my final 3.5 hour double shift.

167 km away from the couch I call home.
I'm sitting on the couch at the boys house in Moncton while they are off in class. Let me tell you, Trav's bed beats the couch in forest hills by far.
I don't want to leave it, but I need to return to Fredericton tonight. Tomorrow is my day at school. This will probably be my last two days off from work in a while. Glad I spent it here with a bed! The boys should be home soon. I just want to schimmy up to Trav under his blankets in his bed and take a cat nap. Meeeoow! Purrrrrr...
15 more days until 412 Charlotte st with my girls :)

Another typical day awaits.
So as you see I've come up with the new blog name for now. It seems rather suiting at the moment. I'm just chilling out here in Forest Hills with the cable from their Xbox live plugged into my laptop so I can use the internet. I am heading to work in about 10 minutes. The weekend was good. We drank on friday night in hopes of making it to the Cellar for Kristy's last night in town -- but I hadn't slept in 3 days and I'm poor so we didn't go inside. Our farewells were said. Last night was a night full of chilling out here. I'm also through with taking my antibiotics and I find that my wheezing has disappeared! Hurray!
Work time.
Work time.

Adventures of the littlest hobo.
I'm going to have to change the name of my blog now that I'm moving out of the crazies' house. Suggestions? I'm officially homeless. Last night after moving the majority of my stuff out of the house with the help of Wes, Farva and Randy, we got baked, played lots of Zelda for Super Nintendo and stayed up until the wee hours of the night (or morning for that matter). I slept on their couch in a cocoon of blankets. It would have been even more amazing if my sleep would have consisted of more than 3 1/2 hours.. My brain isn't functional at all right now. Neither are my motor skills. I already spilled coffee on myself three times. I'm chilling in the science library lobby, just waiting for my first class- Animal Phys lab to start. I already did my consult hours today. After my Animal Phys lab I get to TA Lisa Lab from 6-9. Going to be a looooong and tiring day. I can't wait to be done and its just barely begun.

The Attic vs. The Basement.
This is the last night I'm going to be in this bedroom. I'm looking around the room and it's such an eerie feeling. I'm going to miss it. I'm going to miss all the space to move around, the high ceilings, the random circle on the ceiling, the massive unmovable window.. Goodbye porch smokes. Goodbye big living room. So long vodka lady. See ya Percy. Goodbye 721 George st. Welcome to my life as my AE associates call it, the homeless charity case. This month is going to be rough and I don't know if I'll be able to hack it. I still don't have places to store all my furniture and boxes. I'm going to be sleeping on random couches all month, with no real bed or home to come to after work at night, or no shower to use every morning. Ugh. I hope the girls apartment situation works out. Heather, Miray, Laura and I are just awaiting approval on an application for a beautiful two story apartment (in a 3 story house) on the corner of Charlotte and York st. It has a sun porch, a living room, dining room, kitchen, attic, pantry and 4 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. I hope we get it! We have mega plans for this place.. No crazies allowed.
I had an awesome Christmas break. It's going to feel so weird to start class again... And I'm hating the Moncton thing already.
I spent tonight at work from 5-10 at American Eagle with only Bianca and Vanessa working. We had a snack party on the sales floor. Afterwards was spent with Wes, Zelda, yetis, and diplomat breakfast. Good night.
Countdown to Homeless-ness: less than 24 hours.

Merry Christmas!
A week has passed since my last update. Let's just say its been a crazy stressful work week full of retarded shifts. I'm still sick with a hacking bronchitis-like cough and I'm super exhausted. I was so sick on tuesday that Vanessa had actually sent me home from work. Instead of sleep (like I should have) I chose to drive to Moncton to pick up Mr. Travis and Gort. Since I'm feeling rather lazy and tired, I'll point form the key events of the week that I can recall from my terrible terrible memory.
- rockin out to tunes in my car and busting my speakers
- too many yeti sessions
- lots of late nights and no sleep
- bitchy vs. super friendly christmas shoppers
- customer bitched about me to laura because I wouldn't let her butt in line
- RAISE!
- Trav time
- shower for two
- free Tim Hortons: "Uhhh Shouuuuuld....I?"
- double shifting floorset horror
- ummm...how many floorsets did I work on this week? THREE???
- I love trees and you know it.
- lots of the 3 letter word we all know and love.
- sleepovers all week (why are you so damn comfortable!?)
- stressful times and breakdowns.
- christmas shopping
- laura-gill much needed basement bonding over yetis
- dragging the drunkard to my house (thanks for the help chris reid)
Now, its officially Christmas. It's almost 1am. I arrived home several hours ago. Bored already. Oh kingston. How am I going to make it through tomorrow without smoking any substances of any sorts? Dress-up Tequilla party is drawing near! I tried to go dress shopping after my shift at AE the other day, but the dresses I liked at Le Chateau looked horrid on me. So....now it looks like I'm hosting a dress-up party for Laura's birthday, but I don't even have any dress-up clothes to wear! Why do I always look horrible in dresses?

The work week from hell.
Why is it that every Christmas I get incredibly ill? I could feel my illness creeping over me yesterday during my entire 9 hour shift at American Eagle. It was terrible. After work at 10 I went over to Forest Hills where I drank some beer, smoked some yetis and chilled out with the crew. Farva was the record holder drunk of the night. Grace and Bird showed up and we (Grace, Bird, Miray, Laura, Flynn and I) went to the Dip at 2am for food. When I woke up this morning I was incredibly haggered. I'm still really tired, I feel weak. My body aches. My throat is swollen and sore. I am coughing up phlegm again. In fact I feel exactly like I did when I got sick at the beginning of the summer with that cough that wouldn't go away. Blah. Hope I don't get that again...
The worst part of my day, is not only the fact that I'm sick but I have to go to work on a mini-floorset tonight. Kill me please. I don't think my body can handle all that physical activity.
I still haven't done any christmas shopping. I can't believe I've left it so long. I'M IN THE MALL ALMOST EVERYDAY AT WORK. You'd think I would have done my Christmas shopping long ago. Apparently I'm incredibly lazy. On the plus side, I've pretty much figured out what I'm going to get everyone, although some presents are going to be harder to put together than others. I wish I had more money.

I heart Chris Reid and this picture.
Last night was an absolute shit show. I was wrecked. But it was all in good fun and to randomly celebrate finishing my last (only) exam!! I had thought I had only drank 7 beer last night and wondered how I got so drunk-- only to remember later that Chantal had been feeding you shots of malibu rum. Regardless, last night was a fucked up night. To sum it up: yetis, beer, malibu rum, drama?, puking, tears, getting kicked out of nicky zees twice....and the list goes on. I passed out in the blue recliner at the boys house and woke up the next morning at noon, still partially drunk. It's been a great week off, and tomorrow marks the first day of my work week from hell.
Thank god for my weekend off.

The year 2006.
I have done this the past couple years on my blog, so this year has to be the same.
2006: Year End Review.
January: Started out great. New boy. Great New Years Eve Party. Turned out so awful. Lost the boy. Camera broke. I believed someone had cursed the year 2006 on me and I was already looking forward to 2007. We went to the Bushmans Ball (Forestry Formal) where we drank lots of alcohol (of course) in pretty dresses. Meghan almost killed Sheehan with ranch dressing. To top off my stellar month, my laptop broke and I had to reformat and lost all my photos. Arthritis flare-up involving me getting stuck on the couch in pain.
February: My laptop breaks yet again. Frustration sets in for the year 2006. GRRR! A unnamed stranger left an envelope containing a handwritten letter and 40 dollars in my mailbox addressed to me. It was an anonymous good deed so I could buy my starving self some groceries! Kitchen street reunion party involving a very drunk appearance from Gill. I spent my student loan on a new laptop (my ibook!).
March: I went home to Kingston on the mark break and got really sick. School starts taking over my life. Decide I am going to save money and move home for the summer and transfer to the AE in Saint John. Being the indecisive person I am, at the end of the month I decide to find roommates so I can stay at 672 graham paying only 160/mth each. I also develop a really evil sickness again which hinders end of semester studying/paper writing
April: One of my roommates left a special puke surprise outside our front door. My car window was smashed with a beer bottle. Good times in the Ghetto. Pat fucks me over for my summer roommate situation. By this point in time, I'm about ready to give up on the year 2006... Claire and Becca move in at the end of the month, Jess leaves for Germany and the rest of the school roommates move home (cept Sheehan).
May: My camera, that had been broken for months miraculously (and mysteriously) starts to work! We find creepy Italian Mario as a roommate who keeps condoms in the fridge, dances around and conducts music and sat around in suits and black dress shoes all day, all the while scheming on his cell phone in the middle of the night and mysteriously disappearing. Secret Agent? Possibly… Before I could be the detective that I am, he mysteriously left one day without any notice. I met Trevor and we started dating. I also got egged and started developing my nasty bronchitis-like cough that ended up lasting the entire summer.
June: I started working part-time at Kellys Café on the side of AE. They also didn’t work around my schedule so I quit 3 weeks later. Kelly was super scary and banned me from the story for no reason at all. Kinnon moved in with us and I befriended the neighbours at Dolans.
July: Lots of crazy shit happened here. My life felt like a terrible too-much-drama soap opera. Parties parties everywhere. Random adventures downtown in the rain. Pool parties in the middle of the night. You honk we drink. My huge birthday turn out. Started hanging out with some of the best friends I’ve ever had. Trevor and I broke up. Random hookups and standups. Flipflop breakage on the way to dolans and missing rad cap on an attempt to the beach.
August: Nonstop drinking 4 days a week. Great White Night: I started hooking up with Travis. Boatjob. Graham Ave Bender Ender. Basically the end to the best summer of my life. Car remains broken after getting another radiator cap and refuses to come to life. Got the job as a TA for my Research methods in cell biology lab (aka Lisa Lab)
September: Moved downtown with Agni and Forough onto 721 George street. Excellent market/downtown location. Started school with a super hectic courseload, while maintaining 3 jobs: AE, TA, Dishwashing. Super stressful days and nights. Mental breakdowns. Officially started dating Trav on my moncton trip. Kristy and I had our many porch smoke bond sessions.
October: A pretty solid month of drinking and Travis on the weekends. Halloween as a scandalous black cat. Lots of Forest Hills (and Fermwood drive). Yetis took over me.
November: Most of my courses now dropped, lots of hours at AE later and many random moncton trips…I’m still poor. My poor little Hermione died in my hands after living for 2 1/2 years (looong time for a little rattie)
December: Well here I am now. It’s December. How can I sum of December so far? It’s been good. My 7 days off from AE is going by splendidly. I can only forsee the rest of the month being fantastic, especially when everyone comes home for Christmas. Laura Dress-up Tequilla party will be on the 27th at my house!
