Oh mah god.
Last night was another crazy one. Nicole and I had been planning it for a while. It went exactly as planned...the only planning we really put into it though was that it was going to be crazy drunkeness. We ended up at the Cambie and we met a bunch of people there and were later joined by our own friends! So much fun! Im still trying to remember and piece everything together...I was so happy last night though! I loved it! I didnt even realize I had taken pictures until Nicole looked at my camera this morning...there were some that were definately going on facebook haha. Next up is my birthday...

I've found myself looking forward to this new year. Something I DID NOT expect. I have so much I want to do and I feel like I'm taking the proper steps to get there. I've set up music lessons, set up a meeting to discuss and register for school, started an exercise program that fits my lifestyle and pace, and have made a point to visit with old friends that I dont spend enough time with. I didnt consciously make these resolutions, they just started happening. I have so much to be greatful for and look forward to. Its good to feel like Im in the drivers seat again...
...which reminds me, I need to go get my L.

Some people just dont know when to quit. Thats all Im going to say about that...because I DO know when to quit.
On the very bright side, I had a wonderful New Years Eve AND New Years Eve EVE. Sunday night, The Town Pants played the Blarney Stone. It was supposed to be a New Years Eve party for everyone who has to work during the festivities on actual New Years Eve. There was a count down, free champagne, the whole meal deal. Danica and I got to finish off the champagne bottle and have a few free shots because the bartender with the mullet had a big crush on us...and on top of that I had alot of beer. I think I would have felt better in the morning if I hadnt mixed my alchys. Oh well! I also saw hottie Irish guy there. He was working again and I ran into him very briefly. I guess after he got off work he texted me, but I didnt get it till morning. And now I have a date. Thursday. Im a little bit nervous....and very much excited. Irish accent...*drool*
New Years Eve was a pretty cool night too. All us ladies got gussied up all pretty which was fun. I never dress up and I NEVER wear high heels, but dayum did we look goooood! Our first stop was at the lamplighter for the Chaz Royale Burlesque Show. I only saw one act because it was so crowded that you couldnt see anything. The one act I did see though, was awesome. After a while we decided that it was too crowded to have a good time so we decided to try and get into the Cambie and catch the Furios set. First we had to get our coats from coatcheck though which literally took an hour. I guess the girls who were running the coatcheck ran out of hangers and just started piling the coats on top of eachother on the floor. When I went in to get my coat, I was waist high in jackets and scarves. Not a pretty scene. Plus I had to pee real bad. So we bolted to the Cambie and a really nice bouncer let us in. He wasnt supposed to because they were too full, but everyone was singing along outside the pub and it was clear we love the band so he let us in. And then we danced. It was fabulous. I love nights like that...minus a few douche bags who were getting a bit aggressive.
I honestly wasnt looking forward to celebrating the end of one of the worst years of my life, but the last few nights showed me that there is still a bit of promise in 2008. Thank god.

Last night was amazing!! I always have so much fun at The Blarney Stone. We all do! Why dont we go there more often?? Jeez!
We got there early to avoid the line up and watch the game. That was suuuuuch a great game. Linden to the rescue, yet again. I've done his moms hair. Sorry....had to brag.
ANYWAYS, after being bought a couple rounds of shooters, drinking a few pitchers, and having the waitress (who was reallllly nice) clean out my wallet by talking me into buying the most expensive shooters they had there, I hit the dance floor! That band is so good! Occasionally, they have a guest fiddle player who has to be about 70 years old. He does an amazing job and was there last night. I even got a few words of wisdom in between their sets. I cant wait till my lessons start up in January.
There was also a cute boy that worked there that I had been talking to for a bit. And as the bar was closing, and I was about to leave, he stopped me and got my numberrrr!! I was really stoked. Not only is he cute, but he has an Irish accent...Im a sucker for accents....ESPECIALLY Irish ones. I just wonder how many other girls numbers have gone into that phone the same way... Whatever. Its nice to be stoked on someone again! And in his defense, he was ignoring all the other girls who were into him...and there were a few of them. Bathroom girl-talk gave me that info. I love bathroom girl-talk. Thats the only place in the entire bar where girls are nice to you. They get competitive anywhere else...Anyways, even he doesnt call me, it was still an awesome ego-boost!
Yay for good times!! I've missed you!!!
OH! And I think I have another job!!! YAY!

Today my hottie client Ben came in. I've had the biggest crush on this guy for sooo long! After I was done his hair, he gave me a 10 dollar tip and WINKED. Dayum. How do you ask a client out? Or better yet, how do you GET a client to ask you out? Im a chicken when it comes to things like that...

So today at work I got a text message from Facebook saying that Matt Carter had sent me a message. So after crying for about a half hour, I pulled myself together, hoping for the best when I was able to check my mail. When I got home and checked, it turned out to be a mass message that went out to anyone who was in the Kiltlifterz facebook group. I didnt even bother to read it. Which makes me wonder if thats what he does to the emails I send him. Anyways, I guess I should have figured..I've blocked him on facebook so theres no way he can contact me on there (well...not anymore now that I've left the Kiltlifterz group)
So now I have a question: Why is it that everytime I forget about him, something dumb like this pops up to remind me? When is this going to ACTUALLY be over? I have a feeling that it wont happen till I get closure. And if that doesnt happen when I see him next (which btw, is super far away) then it may never happen...and then what do I do??? UGH

Christmas in Skaville was a HUGE success! All the bands played great sets and I even managed to hold back tears during the Elixxxirs set! I cried a little at the end, during "forget about it" but it was the first time I didnt bawl my eyes out during their entire set. Kinda a big deal for me.
A few things did bum me out though. I missed alot of the Skatos set cos I was chatting in the back room and catching up with a few people I havnt seen in a while. It was actually quite a nice convo in all its hilarity. I'll see the Skatos again, but I'll have to wait till next Christmas to hear them play "Christmas Wrapping" again. Oh well. Im not too concerned. I *did* however get ditched at the end of the night. There were a few of us who had agreed to kind of stay together. I couldnt justify spending $40 on a cab ride by myself, so I was going to crash at Aprils place. Then her and Amber met some boys and ditched me. Big shocker. And after I had spent my entire Friday trying to cheer April up on her birthday. I went shopping with her, took her out for an afternoon beer, did her hair...whatever. It was just a shitty thing for her and Amber to have done. Im pretty pissed off about it. In the end, I stayed at the Fairmont! It was pretty sweet. Didnt cost me a thing AND we got room service. Needless to say, it was a late night.
And last night I went to see the Spice girls!!! It was amazing!! It sooo brought me back to my childhood! During one song, they even wore their old costumes! Sort of...well they did, just with out the giant platforms. I was really happy with the show! It was delivered REALLY well. The dancers, the costume changes, etc. I was really happy. I was 10 years old again for a night.
Ugh. Its work time. More on my fabulous weekend later.

This is going to be the most fantastical weekend ever. It's only Saturday morning and it's already hitting a high...mostly because I saw THE HOBBIT at the Cambie again! Last night was Apes birthday so obviously we were at the Cambie. I spent wayyyy too much money before and during the festivities. But I *do* have a very hot new leopard print skirt as a result of it. Hot Dayum.
I just looked outside and its snowing...I'm trying to decide what level of gloriousness this is. An 11? On a scale of 1-10? On second thought...maybe a 5. I wont think its so glorious tonight when I'm prancing around in my new skirt, freezing my arse off.
Tonight is Christmas in Skaville. It's the one time of year where we all come together and drink our faces off to some good ol' ska music...in Santa hats. Yup...Santa hats are really about the only difference. But trust me...Its going to be huge. I know I'm going to get gunned out of my tree, but I still have high hopes that it wont affect my radness the next day...because the next day, I am going to see THE SPICE GIRLS!!! I am the lucky winner of The Latif Bains Dream-date Package! YAYYY!! Now to decide which Spice Girl to dress up as...
Kidding!...Or am I? Yes I am.

It's not a matter of friendship. Its that you fucked up, wont apologize, changed the story, and took words out of my mouth. "So do you wanna be my friend or not?" Doesnt really inspire forgivness. Im so sick of drama and bullshit. I DONT need it. Im finally cheering up, and now someone starts shit trying to bring me down. Im looking out for ME. Im focusing on ONLY me now. Theres so much I want to do that Im only doing for myself...I dont have the energy for drama and if I have to burn bridges to stay away from it, so be it. Life is too short to be distracted by attention-seeking drama queens. Im done with this. Lying and drama are not my thing.

I was drunk. D-runk. Drunk like I havnt been in....a long ass time. I remember the two hour line-up. I remember the first shot and taking out a hundred bones at the ATM. I vaguely remember giving Rio 20 dollar tips. I remember seeing Max and being super stoked! Im going to add him to facebook right now...I remember making some guy hold hands with me. I remember leaving (Im pretty sure I was smart enough NOT to take him home...as I woke up alone this morning.) I remember lots of beer. Really bad beer. I remember throwing up in the toilet when I got home...sorta. I remember waking up to my alarm. It had been going off for half an hour before I woke up. I spent ALOT of money. Now I need to borrow off the madre. She loves me. She'll do it.
Was it worth it? Ask Megan...maybe she remembers.

Ive been talking to others....and they seem okay....Im just not ready.
The one person I want to talk to wont speak to me. Its like losing my best friend. It IS losing my best friend. I dont know what I did and it is literally making me crazy. I just want to get over this so bad...I dont know why I cant. ughhh. How could anyone feel good about themself knowing they're intentionally makng another person feel this way? I'd never wish this upon anyone....not even him.

I've had a pretty intense couple of weeks. I feel like Im in a mobster movie....though I probably shouldnt explain why. Its hard not to talk right now though. So much shit hs gone down in the last little while that I really WANT to talk. I want to tell people everything so that I can get it off my chest. I've told a few people...but I dont want to be a burden...and I really feel like I've been one lately. I think I will come out okay though...I really hope so. This made for a really fucked up and freaky halloween...but not in the way you'd think. Nothing scary has gone down but its the thought that it will soon that has me jittery. Last night was a good night. Its what I needed at that moment in time. Now is what I need is for everything to turn out alright. I just want to be happy again. I dont want to be a mess and I dont want to be involved in anyone elses mess...I guess thinking that it cant get any worse is sort of looking at the positive side? I should be grateful I havnt lost everything. This is as bad as I could ever handle things being though...I cant imagine things getting worse. Now I have to brace myself....cos things are going to start looking up and I want to be ready. Wow....what a rant...that was like 3 different subjects meshed into one paragraph. And it didnt make a whole lot of sense either. It wasnt for you though, it was for me.

I woke up too early for work. I hate that. I dont know why, but Ive actually been able to get a good night sleep for the past week! You know when you had such a good sleep and its SO hard to get up and out of bed? I havnt had a sleep like that in MONTHS and now I am. I love it. Now that Im up to early, I turn to you livejournal.
Last week was more of a party week than my weekend. Im trying to take it easy before the ridiculous week I have ahead of me.
Wednesday was "Who's Your Daddy? Version 2.0" and it went over really well. Last time we kind of got screwed over so Wednesday they took really good care of us. Everyone got their two free drinks and the limo drivers didnt try to get a second tip out of us (skeezbags) Dancing and drinking took place and from what I could see, everyone had fun. Alice might have had too much fun, because she flashed the bartender for a red boa....which everyone else just got through Cassie. Oh Alice.
Thursday I went with Meghan to Mahoneys pub at UBC. Its kind of an irish pub....I guess... Anyways we went to go see a few members of the Town Pants do an acoustic set. Katie and Amy were there when we got there too. It was nice to kinda have a girls night out. Anyways, the set that the guys played was hilarious. My favorite was their Barry White cover ( I LOVE Barry White in a wow-this-song-is-creepy-but-I-cant-stop-groovin' kind of way.)
Shit. Lost track of time. More about my weekend Lat0r!

wowowowowowowowowowowowow! This weekend was the most fun I've had in a looooooooooong time. Thursday was Chris Murray and One Night Band. KICKASS show complete with dancing and drinking...and more drinking. Friday night was The Skatos/Karma/Easy Brothers gig. I got two songs dedicated to me by two different bands. TWO! I was stoked...I felt like a highschooler again...that could also be because I developed a huge crush on the Easy Brothers drummer. Dayummmm.
After the gig a few of us went to The Naam. I had never heard of it, but its a 24 hour vegetarian restaurant in Kits. It was amazinggggg. I got myself a tofu enchilada and a garden side salad with a miso-ginger dressing. That salad was easily the best salad I've ever had...I wonder if they sell their dressings? hmmm...
I didnt get home till 4 that night which was cool....cept for the fact that I had to work the next day super early to do hair for a wedding...whatever. I rocked it. I came home after work and had myself a power nap which helped alot. Later, when I woke up and dolled myself up, Michelle, Tre, Sarah, Constanza and I all went to see the Highballs at the Railway. I LOVE Railway gigs....they're always so much fun! The first two bands blew...and totally didnt fit the bill...well I guess it was the highballs that didnt fit the bill...Anyways, when the highballs came on the place went OFF. I didnt want it to end.... I also saw one of my clients which was weird! He was stoked to see me but I was drunk....which doesnt exactly scream "professional!" WHATEVA!
Ahhh. Im still so stoked on my awesome weekend! And this week is going to be crazy too...Wednesday night Cailis Limo Partyyyyy! yayay!!
