Save your prayers for me, cuz I'm not the man I used to be

kita and I went to see AJs show on thursday night... it was awesome, I really miss him. Seeing him twice in the past little while really made my heart ache for him. I just... Idunno, I got so so close to him for awhile and then all of a sudden it was gone. SO yeah, we had a good chat and I'm gunna see him soon

I was a chistmas tree for my costume for work today, It was hella tight. I got so many compliments, and won the contest!!!:D also about 6 random people asked to take my picture. It was pretty awesome. It felt nice.... I also saw Candy and Joanne (Megan and darren's mom) when I was walking to work! it was awesome!!!:D

I'm tired... and feeling a little isolated....



....yeah I'll be here just losing my mind..... do what you do what you mostly do to me...

Ten updates.... now.

1. I quit Fairweather for a supervisory position at the bay (11 bucks an hour)
2. On my days off there I'm going to be a cashier at Thrifty Foods for 9.50 an hour. I might actually be able to pay off this credit card debt I've amassed. I know, I've had it for like 2 months.
3. My first day at the bay was yesterday.... It was alright, kinda scary, but not bad.
4. Nykita and I went to Nanaimo this weekend. We saw Will, Gareth, Tidey, Shane, shanes family, Jenn P, Dan, Nolan, Ashley, Alana, Hilary, Martha, Jordan (who are too cute for words.... BY the way (AND, I called it ))
5. My hair should be big (think of mean girls)... I've learned sooooo many secrets this weekend.
6. I'm being a christmas tree for halloween
7. I found a hoop skirt at the patch
8. Gareth made a compromise with me this weekend. Hey its better then nothing right?
9. I graduated from high school last week, and get to start my music composition and technology class whenever I get some time off.
10. On the bus back to nanaimo, I was thinking the song from rocky horror, "I'm going home"... do you think that means something?
11. I will make a real post soon, but I'm gunna be late for work if I dont leave soon.

I found another song that makes me think of you...

Please don't let this turn into something it's not
I can only give you everything I've got
I can't be as sorry as you think I should
But I still love you more than anyone else could

All that I keep thinking throughout this whole flight
Is it could take my whole damn life to make this right
This splintered mast I'm holding on won't save me long
Because I know fine well that what I did was wrong

The last straw in the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
First kiss in your first time that I felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you told me to look past everything I had ever learned
The final word in the final seconds you ever learned to me was love

We have got through so much worse than this before
What's so different this time that you can't ignore
You say it is much more than just my last mistake
And we should spend some time apart for both our sakes

The last straw in the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
First kiss in your first time that I felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you told me to look past everything I had ever learned
The final word in the final seconds you ever learned to me was love

The last straw in the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
First kiss in your first time that I felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you told me to look past everything I had ever learned
The final word in the final seconds you ever learned to me was love

And I don't know where to look
My words just break and melt
Please just save me from this darkness
Please just save me from this darkness

And I don't know where to look
My words just break and melt
Please just save me from this darkness
Please just save me from this darkness

Make this go on forever...

Yesterday and tomorrow, sheduling and work.

it SOUNDS like a boring post doesn't it? But its not! I have interviews everywhere, cuz I'm looking for a new job. I would like to work thursday to monday and have tuesday and wednesday be my weekend.

Life would look likie this:
Monday: New job, ballet from 7:15 to 8:45
Tuesday: school, gilmore girls
Wednesday: Thyme, Piano lesson, America's next top model (kita got me addicted, ok!)
Thursday: New job, Other job... the OC when it starts
Friday: New job, Other job
Saturday: New job
SUnday: New job (re-runs of antm)

wouldn't it be cool if I could work at like... a&b sound? or Lyles place...

Yesterday I worked and stuff... Then went up to UVic and with the help of nicoleo's password, printed off some resumes and then went back down to downtown and dropped some off, I already looked professional, why not. Then Kita and I made carrot mushroom loaf for Thanksgiving, and I made ambrosia. we didnt have a cheese grater and this reci[pe called for like a pound and a half of grated carrot and 2 cups grated cheese. I borrowed a grater! I was just chillin in the kitchen when Jenn calls and asks me to chek on a car for her to see if its still for sale. I look outside, and there she is! We were only able to visit for a couple mnutes, but she drove down in her NEW CAR which is awesome!!! I also got a letter from my sister lasty night, she so sweet. Today I have to make the filo filling, thaw the filo pastry and the buns and maybe do the sweet potatoes.

I hope everything turns out. I dont have enough pans or serving dishes, or regular dishes. This is gunna be a disaster. But at least we'll all be together right?
