STARBUCKS you SUCK

Another new discovery..I get more done in a cafe than in my room..or the lounge..
After hearing about this place from a few people I decided to check it out as I had alot of reading to do and since Im so ADD lately I could try anything. So I walked a block to TESORO and got almost all my reading done! It was pretty sweet actually. The owner bought me my first drink (some kind of expresso thing) and their chai latte is absolutely to DIE for. They are so friendly I love it! I think I might be setting up permanent residence there! hahaha. Kicks Starbuck's ass thats for sure! So if anyone is reading this in Edmonton and needs somewhere cool to study or chill out and drink go there~!!!

O'Byrnes

Hey guys. So the slide show pics are from Wednesday night at O'Byrnes. It basically turned into something of a staff party lol. It also turned into me throwing up from the number of Jager bombs Jeff made us all do. So really it was fun...lol. Fortunately I waited until I got home to do that... I worked last night and made a KILLING in tips! Haha I might work Friday nights more often now that Ive kinda figured out how this cocktail waitress thing works. I think I made more than the bartenders! Hehe. Kind of funny but I spilled an entire pint of Stella all over the porter. It was kind of in slow motion when it happened but it went all over his neck and head and then smashed on the floor. Lol. oops...
So anyways I slept in until 1pm this afternoon...which was kind of nice. And since its so warm out I am going to go for a run in a couple of hours after I finish the bio lab report!. Well anyways thats me in a nutshell right now! I'll talk to ya later!!!

Check out my Slide Show!

St. Patties

TOP OF THE MORNIN TO YE!!

Haha I wish I was Irish. My grandpa used to swear we were..he even had a song but I'll spare you that..perhaps another time when I remember it. So anyways since I had a shitty St. Patties day (Very depressing you dont want to hear about it but to make a long story short..I cleaned up puke got yelled at by my dick head manager...then was upset drank a whole bottle of wine and went to McDonalds with my next door neighbour friend Darren..) I am therefore going out tonight and celebrating what I missed with one of the cooks at work and another waitress and a whole bunch of other people. What's better? Is that the bar we are going to we all get a 25% discount because we work at Overtime!!! :D How much more perfect could it get?! Hahaha. Well anyways tonight should be interesting..I have to work the next morning at 11:30 but hopefully I should have things under control by then!! Haha,...

I am 25

I ate an entire piece of mud pie today. Frenchie knows Ill eat it and yesterday I had home made tiramisu, which aparently didn't turn out right (god forbid) so I had to eat some of it...Anyways today I had 6 customers come in...omg shoot me. I just hung out with Debbie all day..ya know ...talking and eating and stuff...
So Anyways... talking to Frenchie and Debbie about bathing suits and I mentioned I would like to get into shape for Costa Rica this summer...oh boy...they were both like don't tell me you dont look good in a bathing suit...(which I dont by the way hahaha). They asked me how much weight I wanted to lose I said just wanted to tone up... Led to me asking them how much they thought I weighed! I got 115!! HOLY SHIT DUDE! hahahaha Im not gonna say how much I weigh but that was nice hahaha...(as im stuffing my mouth with a large piece of mud pie)...
ALSO got talking about age...as if it matters...Frenchie thought I was 25! lmao! Oh boy.. Like I havent even been 18 for like 5 months! Oh well. Guess its the way I hold myself or something. I dont think I look THAT old...but okay! hehe
ESSAY WRITING TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY GLASSES!!

These are my new glasses.

THey are pink/red my favorite color.

I LOVE THEM ALOT.

They make me feel smart.

I like feeling smart.

TOTALLY cutsie pie.

I dont think Ive taken them off since I got them.

Some homeless guy likes them anyways hahaha.

I Love Myself TODAY

Well I love myself everyday but today I am feeling very content with everything..
Oh and if you were wondering why my blog is called Sex Pot..its just a nickname that Melissa gave me...aparently Im very sexy in a quirky stupid kind of way hahaha ;)

Anyways...I went to both classes today...ya know whatever...I made a friend too! A guy in my Edpsych class. Anyways he ended up sitting beside me in the hallway while we waited to get into the classroom and hes pretty nice. I like having random people to talk to and I absolutely love meeting new people so honeslty it sounds stupid but it totally made my day. I think its because I FiNALLY got my glasses from Mom and they are totally hot. I absolutely love them and I think they make me look really smart ahaha... which is why I wore them to my midterm.
Then Kirsten came to visit me..it was really warm outside so we spent alot of time just walking on Jasper Ave, got some Bubble Tea (yummy) and just caught up. It was nice!
Then Allison came downtown and met me at Future Shop, and we went out for supper. It was so nice!! We went to Blue Plate cafe and had like..the most AMAZING supper...definetly going back there again it was delicious. I had a filet of some kind of fish served with sweet jasmin rice and roasted vegetables. Honestly...I wanted more veggies!
Then on the walk home I had a really nice homeless looking guy ask me if I had any money for a coffee and I just had a feeling about this guy he was really nice. When I was finding some change he was like "COOL SHADES DUDE!" hahaha the guy totally made my night! I hope hes enjoying a nice Starbucks or Tim Hortons somewhere right now.
So now Im drinking a nice hot cup of peppermint tea and just relaxing. Life really is about good friends and good food! It really suprises me though...the people I keep in touch with and the ones I don't. Seems that I have alot from Brooks that I just kind of took for granted because I hated the place so passionately. Getting a little excited about going home..not gonna lie hahaha. Lost is on tonight..YAY!

Recovery!...Near!

Hey guys!
Well Im glad to inform you all that the penicillin is starting to kick in and I feel much better. The gums are getting back to normal, and the coldsores are literally non-existant. So that makes me happier things are starting to get back to normal...whatever normal may be.
Unfortunately because things seem to be happening one after the other I ended up dropping my phone into a full glass of water last night. How it happened I have no idea. It fell out of my pocket off the bed into a glass...and I screamed, threw the glass and tore my phone apart. Thankfully it seems to be working...the only thing I have noticed is the speaker is a little quiet...so if I have to get that replaced or whatever no biggie im just glad it turns on!
AND i think I decided what Im doing this summer. Unfortunately it means leaving my current place of work (sob) for a little while... Im coming back to Brooks in May...working 80 hours a week until the end of July..and then I am going to Costa Rica for 2 weeks! Then after that I will probably move back up to Edmonton shortly after that to get my job back and get prepared for the upcoming Fall 2007 semester! I cannot believe how fast this year has gone!!! OMG! Like this time last year I was graduating high school!!! :S Im gonna be like old and married with kids soon! Definetly makes you value time when you realize how fast its going by!! Well I think thats enough for the blog for right now...I need to line up a summer job and STUDY my tooshie off!! (Midterm Wednesday and I have ALOT of material to get through by then!)
: D

OH if you wanna check out my Costa Rica trip check out this website! Its the group Im goin with and it looks like such a BLAST! :D

The Update

Here is the official update after 4 days of taking Penicillin, freezing the coldsores and treating them six times a day for 4 days...
Mouth:
Gums are sore. Imagine spending 30 minutes flossing and brushing every morning because its so painful?? Yeah don't take that for granted definetly. Every time you do you spit out blood...lots of it...and you can't eat like...anything besides yogurt and applesauce, bananas,...juice... everything else hurts.

Lips:
Coldsores are ACTUALLY making some progress. I think they are finally drying up and going away!! I had a small one fall off...which was nasty but I was thankful that it is finally GONE!! The bigger one on my lower lip cracked around the edges today so Im taking that as a sign that its ready to fall off here soon too. I am going to love my lips after this... I would be able to deal with the mouth better if the coldsores were gone...Haha sorry for the details but Im thrilled its almost (knock on wood) over.

So yeah..other than that my day consisted of alot of changing plans.. particularly for this summer. Looks like I'll be coming back to Brooks as my summer class ran a little longer than I expected and I want to go to Costa Rica as long as I can still get a spot on the trip. I cant afford res over the summer either...I want to come home and make some mega bucks so perhaps next summer Ill chill out in Edmonton? So now I have to find a job there...quit (gasp...sob) my job up here...:( feels like I just started it!! And yeah..go back to Brooks for the summer and work in a smoky lounge... Maybe Ill get lung cancer with my luck. So anyways I dropped Philosophy too...now Im only in 2 courses..waste of time much...so anyways Im gonna kick ass in the ones im still in and then Im going to pick up an extra shift at work... yay... Well I am gonna header..Lots of studying ahead of me this weekend and I have to work in the morning so Im out!! Peace!

AND im still alive...

So here the update if anyone ever reads this anyways...
Mouth is still swollen and I can barely eat...got a few more coldsores kicking around now...
I failed a Philosophy midterm and now I think Im going to drop the class...FUCK...this semester sucks im only in 2 courses and am wasting time and money being here.
There are like two people I want right now that aren't here:
My Mitchell and My Mom

On second thoughts...

It could always be worse than that...I could have genital herpes or something and that would actually probably ruin my life more so than this is...hahaha...sleep time...

I think that's quite enough..

Im trying not to let this get me down..Im trying to be cheerful and not let the little things piss me off...except this is ENOUGH.
Tuesday-got cold symptoms after getting my nose pierced...okay whatever...dealable...
Wednesday-Cold...Bad BAD stomach ache later on that night...
Thursday- Curled up in pain most of the day...slept alot...
Friday- Bad headaches, achy all over...teeth begin to hurt??
Saturday- Glands are swollen up beyond belief..sore throat...teeth hurt and are bleeding when I brush and floss??
Sunday- Same as yesterday except now Im exhausted..11 hours of sleep tonight..
Monday- Fever, Lightheadedness, dizzy, nausious (?), exhausted. Skipped bio lab to go home and sleep 6 hours. Even more sick when I wake up. Gums are extremly swollen and sore. 12 hours of sleep this night.
Tuesday- DOCTOR...no more fever although gums and neck are completely swollen up..I barely have visible teeth...oh and if this isn't enough..I WAKE UP WITH NOT ONE BUT TWO COLDSORES!!! I have NEVER had a coldsore and I intended NEVER to get one. I am now angry at the world.

Like I said...trying not to let it get to me...but the coldsores broke the camels back. Michaela is ANGRY because my life will now be plagued by disgusting red pussy blisters on my lips. My life is RUINED...one more thing to deal with....so now Im on antibiotics and some lip shit..awesome.

What goes around...always comes down

It's funny what people decide to place a heavier weighting of their values on...what (or who) people decide to base their lives around... Sometimes you find yourself scratching your head wondering why people somehow unknowingly throw good friendships away for something they may find more desireable at that point in their lives. I need to remember that I don't know everything about everyone and I am not right 100% of the time (although it is damn close to that). However I can and do have the right to feel dejected once and a while. But its fine, because things like that help me decide what and who my value in life is based around because what goes around...comes around.

Reading Week

Well Brooks was good. I did what I had wanted to do the last time I was there. I hung out with my brother and sister quite a bit...had coffee a few times with Mom...played a little bit of crib with Dad...Went out for coffee with a few friends... it was a nice get away. Chloe and I dyed Dorian's hair brown (:S) because he wanted to look like Harry Potter...(dyed mine too..) Guess Mom finally got sick of him bugging her to dye his hair black so she compromised with him. The three of us made cookies and just hung out doing nothing.
I got my nose pierced on Tuesday...hehe.. kind of a whimsical thing...I didn't really think about it I just went and got it done and suprisingly enough it didn't hurt to get it done and it didn't hurt afterwards! I thought I was going to be in excruiciating pain from the way people were describing it to me... Unfortunately I started getting sick about an hour after I got it done. I had cold symptoms and a severe stomach ache which finally went away today. I just got into Edmonton at like 10 and I work tomorrow morning...seriously the Red Arrow bus is alot better than the Greyhound!!!. Anyways I work tomorrow morning..still have all the homework in the world and I still feel like shit. Dad gave me some drugs so I'll unpack here very quickly and then take a Drixoral...write in my journal and then let it knock me out.
I want to send out my condolances to the Rosland family. They lost a very dear family member this past Saturday night and I cannot even imagine what they must be going through. I attended the funeral today, (found out I have no self-emotional control what-so-ever) and although it was probably the best funeral I have been to (if there is such thing), I found it very devastating. The church was packed almost to the ceiling. There was so many people there that I knew and that goes to show how small towns work. Everyone knows everyone. What truly is our loss, is surely heaven's gain. I know we tell ourselves this quite a bit, and we may catch ourselves saying this..but we really do need to stop taking each day for granted. Live every day to its fullest potential and always go to bed with a smile on your face.
Have goals, have dreams, always pursue the both of them. Don't let people tell you what you can and cannot do, how or how not to do something (referring to how to live your life). Make sure you cry, make sure you laugh, make sure you laugh until you cry. Make time for people you care about because when the time comes you will want them to make time for you. Value your family, friends (old and new), and people you meet everyday. Make sure family is important. They were there in the beginning, and they will be there in the end. Choose your friends well. Banish negative influences, thoughts, and atmospheres from your life. Do what makes you happy and go through life with a smile on your face. Be ever mindful of the needs of others.

4. Told someone to screw off and find their own damn phone number in the phone book b/c all they were looking for was some clevage. (aka. Creepy ugly nasty scrubby threesome of guys and an underage chick although they did tip well they were losers...we almost kicked them out)

6. Discovered I have an absolute obsession with the new caramel and or mint Baileys and coffee! YUMM
7. Learned how to make a paralyzer :D...like not for me though haha
8. Got flowers from My Mitchell :D

I am going back to Brooks this weekend..kind of excited however I have to miss Darren's birthday...hes getting a limo package to The Ranch :( I would have loved to go! Just to like go out with a new crowd and meet some new people to hang out with...So anyways he came into work tonight and I bought him a shot since I wouldn't be able to on the weekend.. But I am excited to see my family and my Mitchell and a few friends I still talk to down there...Hahaha...Supper and or drinks Monday night perhaps at Egans. Ill prolly invite a few more people just cuz then I can see everyone all at once...Well I should go to bed...It was a busy night and tomorrow will be no exception!!...yay...

ExHausted

After an absolutely exhausting weekend (which involved work and not a whole lot else) I am tired. My eyes are barely openening and I have a midterm today in Philosophy today which i honestly know nothing for. I studied for a couple hours last night on it but the concepts are so abstract and complicated that I doubt I am going to be able to write anything on it on the exam...So I'll try to bullshit my way through it but I can't see this going very well...Im more prepared for my biology midterm tomorrow though so I have all afternoon to study for that thank god....
So Im exhausted did I mention that? Friday night consisted of 11 and a half hours working...martini glasses breaking on my head and shitty tips. This is not healthy...I just want to make it through this exam half decently today...that would make me a happy person...
Im heading back to Brooks after work on Saturday..yay...Mom's cooking sounds really good right about now. Ill be there for a few days and come back on Wednesday. SOrry Guys not going out to the bar hahaha because ITS GROSS.

FAT

I feel absolutely sluggish. I haven't gone running in over two weeks now because of the cold shitty weather outside so I am feeling seriously out of shape and am probably gaining the pounds as I sit here hour after hour studying and snacking...WARM WEATHER HURRY UP!!! If it doesnt get warmer by March I am going to end up having a clogged artery or something... well needless to say I might just have to resort to going outside in this freezing cold and just suck it up because I refuse to go to the gym!! It stinks...people look at you...its a fashion show...no thanks. So I guess Ill just wait until the spring and then kick myself in the ass for waiting so long to get active again!! ahahaha.
Also..I don't want to work tonight. I work Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday and then I have two midterms next week which I have not started studying for yet...Hmm...I have absolutely NO idea how I am going to pull this off.. I guess I know that I work better under pressure to learn things so I know it will be okay. Im not stressing though which is a little odd. Guess I know there are bigger things I could be worrying about instead (couldnt tell you what they are) but there could be. Things could always be worse... haha. I guess I know for next time to look ahead in the calendar a little bit...because honestly this caught up to me way faster than I anticipated...I completely thought I had another week in there to study but this year is going by much faster it seems...
Tip of the week: Always plan out the whole month on a calendar and write everything down!!!!

I Could Not Find Eyes Like Yours ; )

For the record...yes I am listening to Shakira at the moment hehe.
Concerning the EDPY midterm last week...B+!! Hellz Yes!! That's what I'm talking about! I have spent the whole night catching up on reading..re writing notes...etc...I am motivated once more to do well in school and get good marks. Good..I was starting to get worried there! I was becoming lazy!
Well it's fricken cold and slippery out there again..looks like I am just going to get fat until the weather gets nicer out because I am NOT going to the gym...and I refuse to run outside in that crap!...whatever..haha. My Mitchell came up this weekend and we did some pretty fun stuff...mini golf, movie, bubble tea, IKEA, sushi, icecream (alot of eating hehe) and just kicked back and relaxed. It was really good because I missed him alot and it was so good to see him. Just laying around at home and doing nothing is perfect with him. He also brought me up a box of goodies from my family! I got cookies and muffins and chocolate and a toaster oven and peppermint tea and lots of other stuff! It was almost better than Christmas! Hehe. Well just thought I would update everyone about the weekend and what's up for this week! ----> STUDYING and working this weekend!! :D (I need to make some moola!!!!!!)

Down

So yes even my life has it's downs. I know its stupid to cry over money but this really sucked. It was sooo busy at work tonight and I busted my ass working and thought I did a really good job. No screw ups nothing went wrong...Well aparently that is bad for me because I made absolutely NO money at all. Somehow I managed to be short $27 dollars in my cash out, and then somehow lost $140 worth of tips. Now I don't know about you but I saw Australia getting a little farther away... I kind of need money at the moment too. I guess whoever either walked out on me or found the money must have needed it more than I did..at least that's the way Im trying to look at it...
