BLARGLEHAPPY

I. AM. HOME.

Thank god.

Anyways, I have to touch up my portrait a bit before I post a pic, since I noticed a few errors. I guess it's a question of if I'll even be ABLE to fix them. But we'll see.

Seriously, you have no idea how happy I am to be home.

And I'm having issues with Dollarama, i.e. THEY WON'T GIVE ME ANY FUCKING HOURS. So I'm looking into other jobs now, and turns out I have some family connections after all, and may get a job with the Downtown Biz, who goes around painting over grafitti or something? I'm not sure, but apparently they're likely to pay better and give me hours BEFORE the end of fucking July.

AND good news! West Jet has a sale going on now, which will reduce my air fare from ~$800 to ~$530 after taxes! The sale ends on the 23rd, though, so I have to convince my mom to front me the money and also that it's cool to miss three extra days of school (the sale's only effective for flights leaving on Monday, Tuesday or Wednsday) and then I'll just transfer all my paychecks to her until it's paid off. I tried getting my dad to, but he said he can't because he has no money. And there's a tiny problem of my dad likely being in Regina for RCMP training in September. This means I have to talk to Holly (who I would rather go with anyway) and ask her if she could get off work for the 8th and 9th and maybe 10th and go to Seattle with me. Since Granny Jo will be up there to take care of Aiden for those few days. I can't talk to her now though, since she's out in a ship in the middle of nowhere (somewhere by Alaska, haha) for her work and she'll be there for some time, I gather. It's ridiculous and there's a lot of variables, but this is really looking like it's going to happen. I have to look up a few more prices, for the Clipper and stuff, and then we'll see where we're at. I also need to ask Joe if he's going, because if he is, I could buy him his concert ticket, since I need to buy two so my mom knows I'm not going alone. I hate overprotective parents. It's annoying. But anyways.

Yay I'm writing the next fanfic chapter now. It's a bit of a different view. I mean, no it isn't. But we're talking new characters being added, and another subplot. Hope it turns out okay. Hope this whole damn thing works out. THE END IS IN SIGHT! I don't know what in the world I'm going to do once I'm done. Probably start another haha. We'll see. I actually find this one more fun to write because it ISN'T fluff-happy. Those are fun to write (but more to read) too, but I don't know...they seem so superficial or something. You don't get a sense of the characters in them. You know?

So I bought The Birthday Massacre - Walking With Strangers and Shinedown - Sound of Madness. The girl at HMV was really friendly. I took an immediate liking to her, but that's probably the last time I'll ever see her :p. I'm always so surprised when I encounter someone nice working somewhere. I totally wish I'd gotten a job at HMV *pouts*. Anyways, and now there's Angels Fall First AND Apocalyptica's Worlds Collide there with the 2 for $25 sale, and I WANT THEM SO BAD. But I can't afford it! I can't afford anything! *wails* Maybe I'll secretly keep part of my paychecks to myself, while giving the majority to my mother to pay off this Seattle stuff. Yeah, that sounds like a good plan heh.

I'm going to start meetings with my parents' financial advisor soon, and he'll help me work out plans for university and moving away and stuff. Hopefully he can help.

OMG PROACH'S NEW ALBUM IS GOING TO BE RELEASED AUGUST 26th!!

Currently Listening: Stop Looking/Start Seeing by Papa Roach

Hit or miss, fuck or fight,
It's time to live your life.
Go ahead, I know I'm right,
I'm gonna lay it on the line.
Put yourself in my shoes,
Would you stand up for your rights?
Line 'em up, and knock 'em down,
I'm not running scared tonight.
