Frustration

Most things in my life are frustrating me right now. My family is moving, without a place for me, so I need somewhere to live. SOON. and I'd like to not be in Nanaimo, given the choice. I want to feel like I'm moving forward, and I'm just not feelin that here. It feels like everyones moving on, but I'm stuck in a rut, but where is that rut going? its leaving too, so what am I left with??? I could move to victoria, without a roommate, but its expensive and stuff.... and I get lonely... or I could share with someone I didnt know. Lame. I could find a room here in town. I could move to vancouver. fuck that I could move to vernon, or New Brunswick, If I really wanted to. Rent is cheap in NB. But I like it here. nd I want to go to school in van next year.

I'm also frustrated with some of the people in my life. I really value everyone I choose to spend time with, and some I don't spend much time with, but... theyre moving away, moving on, or just disinterested. what kind of friendships are those? When I NEED them, theyre not there. they PROMISE to call (actually using the word promise) and don't. I would be there for them in a heartbeat. Its not fair.

I miss shane already. no matter how emotionally devoid, detached, and assholish he can be sometimes, I still love that kid (as a friend!!!); one of the best people in my life. It was really nice seeing him this weekend. It meant a lot.

My love life isn't. absolutly devoid. Anybody I think I could possibly be into, isn't into me, and anybody I think might be interested in me, turns out, isn't. I mean, i know I'm not the most attractive, intelligent or talented person out there... but the last person was interested in me was gareth. and look how well thats going. (133 days. and counting. thats how much he hates me now)

Idunno... maybe things will look better when its not three in the morning, but everything looks pretty bleak right now. Heres fingers crossed for an aneurysm!

I have a place to live!

I'm moving in with Chris, under glenn's house! I'm just stoked to not live with my family anymore! The rent is really reasonable, and I know he doesn't like living alone any more then I do.

Yesterday I worked till 1:30 then I went home and then went up to chris' house to bring him dinner because he was really sick with a fever and stuff. Then I went to meet Jenn. Some mix-ups there I ended up going to her house around 11, and we made some pasta, she talked to Matt, and we went downstairs and read books till we fell asleep :) it was really low-key, but nice.

Today I'm supposed to work both jobs, but I'm only going to go to addition elle... I really don't want to, and my last day at suzie shier is next week anyways.

Coachella '07

Who's interested in going to Coachella next year? I know shane, Nick and I are going thus far, and I would really like it if we had a whole group of us that went, we could all camp in the same general area. This year it cost me about $1600, but we went to disneyland for three days, and spent some time in a hotel, etc etc, I figure your could do coachella with room to spare, including merch. for about $800. $250 for a bus, $250 with tax/exchange for the tickets and camping, $300 for food, extra transport and MERCH!

just putting the bug in anybodys brain, of course we don't know whos playing this year yet, but every year up untill now has had great people so I dont see why 2007 would be any different.

01. Stinkfist
02. The Pot
03. Forty-six & 2
04. Jambi
05. Schism
06. Eon Blue Apocalypse
07. The Patient
08. Sober
09. Lateralus
10. Vicarious
11. Ænema
- Tools set list

SO yeah... anybody thinking they might be up for it?

Bopbop buh bow!

I'm in one of those inbetween stages, you know? everything seems to be ending, and nothing good has come of it. Nothing fun has started. I feel like I'm inbetween people. There are some people in my life who are giving me very mixed messages! I don't know how to react to it, and its very frustrating. I'm thinking about moving to victoria or vancouver next september, cuz I just feel like theres a whole lot of stuff going on here, cycles I can't seem to get away from. But isn't that running? My problems aren't just going to go away if I move to another city, to a new group of people or hide my head in the sand for awhile. On the other hand, I want to deal with some of the things, but theres nothing I can do. Theres people I don't get along with, and It makes me uncomfiortable, but they seem to be fine with it, so how could I make a change for it? I can't. but it leaves me still unhappy, and I cant run away, and I can't change it. Humm.... Feels uncomfortable. I am peturbed. (sp?)

In news, I was over at Cora's last night. Had some brownies, went in nathan's car for a bit... watched Empire records, which I haven't seen in awhile... My head aches today though, and I'm not really sure why. I dont really feel like going to work either, but I have tomorrow off, I'm probably hanging out with Brianna and Barbara, unless I hang out with chris tonight, in which case, I won't. Ashley's Birthday Party tomorrow night, and then Janelle's birthday Party on monday night... Its a good time :)

I'm stoked to turn 19. Its my Golden Birthday this year :D

I think I'm gunna go drink some soup, sit in the hammock till its time to go to work. Maybe read a book or something
