The World In a Coma

Ahhh spring, it’s getting warmer and warmer here, I know it’s just a little trick nature is playing on us before she hits us with a few more snowstorms but I’ve been hit hard with spring fever. I am vibrating with excitement over the fact that summer is only a few short months away, and I”ll be done school for the semester in just over a month YIPPEE. Then I can go back to Rocky and hang out for the summer, sadly though my parents will no longer be there as they are moving down here to Fort macCrap, but I think it’ll be good for them, crappy for me but hey such is life. COME ON SUMMER!! I just need to push through a few more papers, tonnes of working at my few jobs and some finals and beer drinking, camping, relaxed days of summer will be upon me.

Cats are smart? Sometimes I just don’t know, here’s some proof against them:

The other day I was sitting at my computer having a smoke my cat meowing and generally being bothersome as usual all of the sudden she jumps up on to the computer desk right onto my ash tray with a lit cigarette in it, she then jumps off and the smoke has mysteriously disappeared, I frantically search for the smoke when I smell burnt hair. The smoke is attached to the cat I whip into action to remove it from her hair. The cat is fine but she’s been pissed at me for days now for ruining her perfect grooming, which she is obsessed with. Um DUH cat, cigarettes are hot, not a good idea to jump on them. All this in addition to her craziness, falling off tables and running into things. Then again I can’t generalize maybe my cat is mentally retarded… hey at least she’s good looking.

 I know lame story but it was freakin HILARIOUS, I’m evil I know, but seriously come on.

ANyways back to me, I get to go to Victoria over reading week for a few days, never been so that should be fun. Going with my mother in law, who I get along with really well so yay!!

 

So I decided today that I’m going to be famous in some way one day. I have it all planned out, I’m going to be singing to myself one day, or just standing around in the right place and someone will discover me. I’m not really into the whole starving artist movement, I’d much rather be working and making money happily rolling along in my mediocre life when BAM, I’m discovered. I mean really… who can deny my talent? What is my talent you ask? Well I don’t know, but I will know when someone discovers me, they’ll say wow that girl is the best singer, actor, dancer, person who can drink coffee (hey I think it’s a talent). And… even if I”m not the best at any of those, my personality will win them over, plus God loves me. So I’m going to keep singing in my car, and working on my coffee drinking talents, until I am discovered. Fame will come to me, I’m not running after it.

Well I’m back from my blogging sabatical…hopefully. Life kinda overruled my blog time, and I felt as though I had nothing of interest to share with my readers. I need some ideas folks, perhaps I’ll do a few books reviews, God knows I’ve read a million of them, that’s just in my university career. But I digress, what have you missed since I’ve been gone. I have two newly single, gorgeous girlfriends, their previous men have left the picture, putting them back on the market, so guys watch out!! I can’t wait to go out and hit the bar scene with them, watch the boys drool while we laugh at their exes stupidity in not holding on to them, their loss ha ha!

Back to school and working two jobs, gets a little hectic, but nothing I can’t handle… who needs sleep anyways? Not me apparently. We are doing a sociology debate on Tuesday about Internet dating, which should be pretty interesting. My group itself is interesting, me and 3 guys (Carter is not too happy about that, it seems to have prompted nightmares about me leaving him, silly chap). They seem like really nice guys, our debate should be pretty good. If any one has any opinions or personal experience with online dating let me know, more info the better. The gentleman on my side of the debate reminds me so much of my guy friends back home, laid back and funny. It’s nice getting to hang out with guys again. I grew up with guy friends staying at my house, and hanging out all the time. Moving to Lethbridge was wierd in that I have all girl friends now, I miss my guy time, it’s peaceful and simple. Alcohol and sex are the main topics of convo (what more do you need). No bad moods, bitching, cat fights, it’s so nice to hang with guys. Not that I don’t LOVE my girlfriends, they are absolutely essential to my survival, but sometimes it’s nice to not have to worry about hurting anyones feelings or for that matter farting and burping lol.

Oh ya back to new blog topics, I think I can finaggle the time to do a weekly thing, Danny you can figure something out, I’m leaving it in your hands.

Well I’m back in Fort MacCrap, back to school and work. Got home on Sunday and have been working steady nights since, in addition to school and my other job. Christmas holidays were great, got to spend alot of quality time with Carter and with my mom. They were much too short though, I’m still tired and in need of a real break. Four more months, four more months lol. The countdown to summer holidays has already begun. I’m already missing Carter and Rocky, but what can ya do. It is good to be back, so I can see my friends, grampy, Nik and Chloe. I love my life down here, but I love my life in Rocky even more. I feel like I live two completely separate lives, like I’m two different people. Wierd. But life goes on and in a few years I’ll be free of school and can set out to do what I want. I hope everyone else had a great holiday too.

Well Christmas went off great. Super busy, 22 people can be pretty exhausting. I got pretty spoiled, Carter got me a laptop which I am currently using YAY, I never ever ever would have guessed that, but it’s pretty sweet. I also got some bedding, and a bunch of other little stuff. Carter was down for the holidays I think it was pretty stunning for him at first but he eventually settled in. But we are both damn glad to be home that’s for sure, it’s nice to just be able to relax and take it easy. I’m pretty excited for New Years, I have no clue what we are doing yet, but I’ve never had a bad New Years here, so hopefully the fun tradition will continue. Merry Christmas to those who are away for the season like Danny, Tealka, Andrea, Megara, Angela and the rest. Hope every one is having a great holiday, I know we all needed it. All my love and best wishes, hope everyone drinks as much as I am planning on drinking on New Years he he. I’m out

 

 

Okay so apparently I’m a vampire, I’ve been doing some thinking lately and it seems about right. I sleep during the day and am awake at night, as soon as dawn breaks I cower and hiss and crawl into my coffin and close the lid, effectively shutting all light out of my life. Luckily it’s not light for very long in these winter months so I really only sleep about 6 hours a day.

I don’t think I have always been a vampire, it seems I’ve been bitten only since I entered University, hmmm University vampires stalking the hallways awaiting their prey, and apparently that prey is me. This curse has mutated me more slowly than usual, but just as effectively. Day by day I go to sleep a little later, started at about 2 am in September and has progressed to the point of 7 or 8 am now. What to do? Maybe I need to talk to Blade and ask him to lend me the daywalker gene… Anyone have his number?

So the holiday season is upon us… and I”m getting ancy. I can’t wait for the holidays, I’m booked up solid until the 22nd and need the break. I’m soooo looking forward to Christmas with the family, then heading back to Rock City to relax and hit the town for New Years!! I talked to my friend Grant today, who I get to talk to like twice a year. I went to high school with Grant, and he’s doing so great now. For those of you who have heard of Fringe Fest in Edmonton, Grant will be creating a show for it for next summer!! I can’t wait to see it, he’s so talented and the best friend anyone could ask for. It’s nice especially at this time of year to know that you have great friends and family, and I’m so thankful for having all of them (even if they drive me crazy sometimes lol). So in closing Merry Christmas

Sorry i haven’t posted much lately but I’ve been busy. Busy and sick. Yes the dreaded cold has come upon me and scissor kicked me in the head. Runny/stuffy nose (it alternates), bloated head, coughing, sneezing the whole bit. And too top it all off, I’ve been working like crazy, actually I just came off night shift at 7:30 this morning and yippee now I get to go to work at 4 this afternoon, then finals this week. So basically I’m busy, sick and tired. Whiney whiney me I know!! But hey a girl’s got rights, and sometimes, like now, I just need a good hug, or better yet and nice warm blanket someone to cuddle me some hot soup and nothing to do but curl up. Any takers?

So I finished up my celebrity list and remembered that about about 6 years ago my friends and I had exactly the same little craze, we all wrote up lists and put them into our diaries ( I know lame, just pretend I said journal). I still have a few of my “journals” while I couldn’t find my old celeb list I did find some hilarious entries. It’s too funny to look back at my self back then, I wonder if I met my 16 year old self now, would I even like me? Boys, school, self centered, okay I guess things haven’t changed much lol, but hopefully they have changed a bit, here’s a little glimpse into teen Candice for ya, straight from the diary (oops I meant journal) pages:

July 16, 2001

Alot has happened since I last wrote, Alex (my first “real” boyfriend), is pretty much totally out of my life! Yes! and life is constantly changing, it’s strange really… but I like it. I am still having strange dreams… but whatever. me and Chad has another flingy thing, I don’t know what to do with him. It happened at my friend Angie’s going-away party. So much little stuff is going on, it’s hard to keep track of it all. Yeah I’m not too sure. My mom moved to Fort Mac for the summer to work becasue we are freakin broke- as usual. Life is slowly getting better. I’m going into Grade 12, it’s fuckin wierd. I can’t wait though, but I’m also so VERY scared. NE way I’ll write later. Love ya bye bye Candy.

 Too funny and too wierd to look back, all the things I thought were so dramatic and life changing seem to be just a little blip on the map now, I don’t even remember my “fling” with Chad, which I know was no more than making out seeing as I had only been with Alex until I started dating Carter. LOL the whole Chad thing is hilarious anyways, why I had the hugest crush on that guy I’ll never figure out. I think I was a bigger drama queen then than I am now. I guess looking back I see I’ve learned to take life more slowly and relax. There’s no point in worrying over little things, most times there’s not much you can do to change it. Well there’s a little glimpse at the Candice of old, I hope the Candice you know has grown up and improved since then, and in some ways retained her zest for life. Feels like I’m saying goodbye to an old friend when I closed the diary, but I’m just putting her away for a while, she’s always waiting.
