Since I will most likely be completely drunk off my ass for the entire night after work tomorrow, I thought I would take this moment to wish all of you a...

VERY HAPPY (early) NEW YEAR! ♥

Here's hoping that 2010 is super fabulous for everyone! 2009 and me got along well, but I know that some of you had it pretty rough this year. So this is me wishing that the new year is full of really good things for everyone.

I'll post my ~~hungover~~ complete list of new years resolutions on January 1st! =D

*love and hugs*

Hark hear the bells - sweet silver bells!

HAPPY HOLIDAY OF YOUR CHOICE AND HAPPY CHRISTMAS! ♥

Awesome quality time with the family always gives me the warm fuzzies.

Now it's time for a cup of spiced rum and eggnog and then bed! =D

I'm wishing all of you the best, and hoping you all had a wonderful holiday like I did!

Good things.

2009-12-09T01:05:19Z

Sixteen days until Christmas. ♥

Re-reading 'Hogfather' gives me the warm fuzzies. (Although Teatime really creeps me out sometimes.)

I love my job, and wearing my Santa hat while I'm at work.

'Fringe' is like a cross between 'Criminal Minds' and 'The X Files' and it's fucking fantastic and keeping me up until three in the morning because it's really hard to NOT watch.

Christmas cards will be sent out sometime tomorrow.

They started playing more Christmas music at work.

The ground outside is covered in snow and we might be getting more tomorrow! ♥

My new apartment is brilliantly awesome and even though I'm still unpacking I've settled in very nicely. (I'll post pictures someday... maybe.)

I've pretty much re-arranged my way of thinking with loving-kindness, so negative things are few and far between.

Life is pretty much awesome and for the first time in a very long time, I don't feel like the bottom is about to drop out from beneath me. ♥

I love and miss you guys and I pretty much think of all of you when I think about PEI or smores or Supernatural or a lot of other things. It's making me nostalgic. *hugs and loves and messy smores*

Can someone say when the writer of this story will just tell us how it all will end?

2009-11-11T14:53:23Z

General Idea: Post first line from 10 of your favorite novels. Make people guess what they are.

01) Everything starts somewhere, although many physicists disagree. But people have always been dimly aware of the problem with the start of things.

02) One way to look at what happened is that everything is the fault of my optometrist and his enthusiasm for those miserable eye-drops that make your eyes super sensitive to light. But if I've learned one thing from all this, it's that there's generally more than one way to look at anything.

03) [name] had done three years in prison. He was big enough and looked don't-fuck-with-me enough that his biggest problem was killing time. American Gods by Neil Gaiman (yubsie)

04) Now consider the tortoise and the eagle. Small Gods by Terry Pratchett (ameryanne)

05) In the land of [place], where such things as seven-league boots and cloaks of invisibility really exist, it is quite a misfortune to be born the eldest of three.

06) Summer in France was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a fifteen-year-old girl, a social and cultural experience she'd never forget. At least that's what everyone told [name].

07) In my time I have been called many things: sister, lover, priestess, wise-woman, queen. Now in truth I have come to be wise-woman, and a time may come when these things may need to be known. The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley (yubsie)

08) "And I say you will!" bellowed the burly sheepfarmer, [name]. He lunged across the table but his daughter [name] sidestepped his powerful arm and darted down the passage to the sleeping rooms.

09) As the bus entered the prefectural capital of [place], garden suburbs transformed into city streets of multicolored neon, headlights of oncoming cars and checkered lights of office buildings.

10) Twenty-three stories up and all I could see out the windows was grey smog. They could call it the City of Angels if they wanted to, but if there were angels out there, they had to be flying blind.

I tried to keep a variety of my favorite books because I've got a hell of a lot more than just ten. I might have vetoed some in favor of others since neekabe used them in hers! =P

ALSO - Trans Siberian Orchestra has a new album out called Night Castle. It's fucking amazing and wonderful and it's not a 'Christmas' album so it can be listened all year round like Beethoven's Last Night. It's brilliant and I love it so much. So if you get a chance go listen to it, I guaranty you'll be impressed.

Any way you want it; that's the way you need it!

2009-10-07T21:40:32Z

It feels like it's been forever since I made a Live Journal post, so instead of the regular blather I'm going to tell you all three VERY GOOD things that have happened in my life. =D

1) I got approved to live in the apartment of my dreams and no longer have to live with my friend Isabel and the hot-roommate-who-shall-remain-nameless (three people sharing a two-bedroom apartment was a little cramped).

2) I got promoted at work (WHICH IS FUCKING AWESOME) and I get a pay increase starting on Monday. ♥

And...

3) The hot-roommate-who-shall-remain-nameless is currently making me supper. Wearing only his boxers. Life cannot get any better than this. x3

Best string of events ever. =D

PS - I've also decided to be crazy and participate in NaNoWriMo this year. INSANITY! ♥

palm face

2009-09-20T05:17:38Z

So, nukichan, your LiveJournal reveals...

You are... 6% unique (blame, for example, your interest in reading shakespeare to animals), 18% peculiar, 26% interesting, 31% normal and 19% herdlike (partly because you, like everyone else, enjoy techno). When it comes to friends you are popular. In terms of the way you relate to people, you are keen to please. Your writing style (based on a recent public entry) is exceptional.

Your overall weirdness is: 31

(The average level of weirdness is: 29.
You are weirder than 67% of other LJers.)

Find out what your weirdness level is!

Also - I need to go to bed. Damn you inspiration and good music. DAMN YOU.

Music makes my soul happy.

2009-09-20T03:07:44Z

If you want to be inspired for writing or drawing or ANYTHING at all, just listen to any movie score composed by Hans Zimmer (ie - The Da Vinci Code, The Last Samurai, Gladiator, etc).

The inspiration will hit you like a vengeful Death Knight.

AND then it'll make you unable to sleep because it won't let you stop writing and if you do manage to stop writing - the ideas that it gives you will not let you sleep until you write them out.

It's fucking AWESOME.

Also - The Big Bang Theory is hilarious, everyone should go watch it right now since season three starts on Monday! =D Click here for the hilarity!

When I'm with you I can hold my head up high!

2009-09-09T16:44:37Z

I'm twenty three now, and that's not as terrible as I thought it would be.

Of course I think it might have something to do with the shiny new toy both my parents pitched in to get me for my birthday. Best gift(s) ever! ♥

The shiniest shiny that ever shined. =D It's my brand new Toshiba Netbook, and it makes me so happy and I can write anywhere I want without having to worry about re-typing later! I've named him 'Puck'. After the character from 'A Midsummer Nights Dream'. ♥

I haven't had an ice cream cake in forever.

And this shiny is currently covering Puck.

This is what Puck looks like in his shiny new cover.

In other news - I got laid off from work, but I saw that coming anyway, and now I'm back in Moncton. Back to living with the sexy gorgeous piece of chocolate that needs to walk around in just his boxers more often. He's currently cooking... Do you know how many of my wet dreams revolve around half-naked men cooking? Do you? *flails* This is going to kill my sanity. I just know it.

I'll also be in Sackville for the next three days, which should be fun.

I wanna wear my hair wild in a mess! ♥

2009-08-31T17:27:46Z

Halifax was fantastic! I got some good hanging out times with neekabe and ameryanne and I promise pictures as soon as my internet is not crappy. It was gorgeously sunny the entire time I was there, which was awesome, and I got to hit up the Mic Mac Mall and Little Mysteries and, thanks to Emmy, a used bookstore that was literally wall-to-wall books! It was amazing. Citadel Hill with Emmy was awesome fun times. Especially the 'straddling cannons'! xD Good times! ♥

And thanks to Katie I can no longer say that I hate beer. She managed to find some kinds that I like, and I plan to head to the Pump-House Brewery at some point in the near future. Thanks a lot lady. =P

In more recent news. While cleaning the cottages at work I fell head-first into a wall and knocked myself unconscious yesterday. I was taken away by ambulance to the Moncton hospital. I've got a minor-concussion but nothing major. I guess now when my dad calls me hard-headed I can take it in a whole different way. I'm mostly fine, I've just got a huge headache taking over my brain, but the doctor says that's normal and will pass in a day or two.

Whoo~ Adventuring.

Shut up and put your money where your mouth is!

2009-08-10T19:12:38Z

I am alive and kicking! I love my job (for the most part), my boss could use a serious attitude adjustment, but other than that things are peachy-keen! Living way out here is kinda boring and I absolutely miss my friends (you know who you are!). When I say boring, I mean that the things I have been doing (I.E. - visiting the Hopewell Rocks, going swimming, scoping out the sexy people in swimsuits, roasting marshmallows, etc.) could be much more fun if my friends were involved. That is totally an invitation for all of you (who still read my journal) to come and visit me. =D

I thought Sackville was small. I was seriously wrong. Hopewell Cape/Hillsborough is infinitesimal. It's lucky to even have an Irving gas station (said gas station also doubles as a grocery and liqueur store). Once my internet stops it's foolish douchbaggery I'll post some pictures, and show you what I mean.

In other (fantastic) news, I will be in Halifax the 17th (Monday), 18th (Tuesday) and 19th (Wednesday) of this month (August)! Mostly for job hunting, since my current job is only for the summer, and there will be a few touristy things getting done too. For those of you in the Halifax area, if you're free and up for visity-fun-things I would love some company! Even if I have to go and bug some of you for a few minutes while you're at work. ^__~ So comment and let me know your schedules! ♥

Gone! Whoo~

2009-06-28T09:10:35Z

Aaaaand I'm now heading out to the middle of nowhere with (possibly) no internet. There will be a beach though, so it won't be all bad. =D

Please to be leaving a message. ♥

We got no class, no taste, no shirt, and shit faced!

2009-06-27T18:14:57Z

After much miss-communication, random phone calls and impromptu interviews - I will now be working and living at The Chocolate River Motel starting tomorrow. It's a motel/cabin/campground/restaurant type place and should be great fun as well as challenging; since I'll be multitasking as a housekeeper and waitress again. It's a bit short notice and my boss is sending someone to pick me up early tomorrow morning, which is awfully nice of him.

I have no idea if I'll have internet out there. Probably not? So when I disappear, don't panic. This job is just for the summer (and possibly the fall?) it all depends on how long my employer needs me for. But I'm not complaining since I'll be living right by a beach, close to the Hopewell Rocks and apparently there's hiking trails all over. Did I mention that I'll right by a beach? Fantastic! ♥

In other news - Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was fucking amazing and I highly recommend that everyone who hasn't seen it should go see it as soon as they can. It was wonderful and awesome and I really want to go see it again before I leave, but I can't so I'll just have to live with it. But seriously. GO SEE IT. It's absolutely worth it.

Now I have to get back to rapidly packing up all my stuff and praying that I don't forget anything important. Have I mentioned that I'm going to miss the fuck out of all my Moncton friends? No? Well I'm going to fucking miss them! D= Gah.

Have I mentioned that I'll be living right by a beach? ♥

Damn. I should've known this was a slightly bad idea.

2009-06-19T00:20:31Z

I am now living in my best friends apartment while she's away at Fundy for work (hooray for being away from mom! xD). I moved in yesterday, although I wouldn't really call it moving in. More like dragging my suitcase up the five flights of stairs (along with a couple of other non-important things) and taking over her room somewhat. But that's not important.

What's important is that her roommate is the hottest piece of chocolate man I have ever seen in my life. Seriously.

First encounter with Boy: After dragging my bazillion pound suitcase up the stairs and fumbling into the apartment. The front door opens into the living room, and I find him bent over the back of the couch with his butt in the air. Best sight ever, he has the most amazing ass. It would've been better if my dad hadn't been with me.

(Note about Boy - he's only been speaking English for five months and is horrible at it. He speaks better French, which I'm horrible at. He speaks to me in English because he wants to practice and I speak French to him so I can refresh my lost ability. Despite the broken speech and wild hand gestures, we're able to communicate pretty well and we do so, frequently.)

Latest encounter with Boy: I did the dishes this morning because I dirtied a few of them last night and I figured I'd do all of them to save time, including Boy's dishes. He was quite surprised that I'd done that and thanked me profusely (so cute). Then earlier this evening, just as I was contemplating supper, he knocks on my door and I turn around to find him leaning against my door frame, shirtless, with an amazing looking plate-full of food in his hands. It was like the start of a wet dream only he was wearing pants. (I should probably mention now that he could grate cheese on his abs. Guuuh.)

Sadly, Boy will only be here until Sunday because he's leaving to go back to his home for the summer. Burkina-Faso is where he's from and he won't be back until early September. Which is sad. But until he leaves, I'm sure I'll have more good Boy moments to share. And if I'm lucky, I'll catch him coming out of the shower. x3

After all, isn't this just a momentary thing?

2009-06-16T14:59:34Z

Yeey for life adventures of awesome. Everyday things can be fun and adventurous too. You just need to know how to spot them or something.

Like having a ridiculously messy desk (that is surprisingly free of cats), or meeting a family of geese on the walk home, or acknowledging that D-Tox has many awesome Transformers t-shirts that you desperately want, but can't justify buying. "Me, Grimlock, say buy shirts now!" "You're not helping." =.=

Twice in one day? That hasn't happend in a while.

2009-06-14T03:26:15Z

My heart beats like a drum! All night! ♥

2009-06-01T13:16:24Z

Hello sweet, fantastic and wonderful June. Do you want to know why June has made it to the top of my list of the absolutely best month ever? Even if you don't want to know, I'm going to tell you anyway. =D

Season two of True Blood will premiere on June 14th. ♥

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is released to theaters on June 24th. ♥

AND!!!

Bon Jovi is having a concert at Magnetic Hill on June 27th. ♥

Seriously. The best month for events ever. I'm going to have a spectacular blast this month! It's going to be absolutely awesome! =D

Graaaagh.

2009-05-31T18:53:33Z

I want to stay inside and write more of Take A Step Too Far because I've been hit in the face with the brick of inspiration.

But I want to go outside and roll around on the grass and bask in the sunshine and dig in the garden and get dirt under my fingernails and watch the squirrels attempt to be inconspicuous in the tree and steal the birdseed.

Dammit. >.< Making a simple unimportant decision shouldn't be this complicated.

Oooh, look! It's gravity! xD

2009-05-26T21:17:33Z

British Colombia was fantastic. Kelowna and Penticton specifically. It was absolutely stunning in a way that the maritimes could never be. There was scenery - we were surrounded by beautiful mountains and sometimes snow capped mountains which was amazing. I loved waking up and looking out the window of my hotel room and seeing the mountains. It was absolutely beautiful!

My sister is now happily married to the man she's been in love with for eight years. It was good times all around! I finally have a brother-in-law. Fancy that!

This would be my father, myself and my three sisters posing nicely for the camera. This picture (and many other wedding pictures) actually turned out really well for all of us. Must've had something to do with the fact that we were all on our best behavior. =P

Sister-bridesmaids stick together! ♥

Annnnd because insanity runs in the family, we managed to convince the rest of the bridal party to gang-hump the bride and groom. We're good like that.

If you're interested in seeing more pictures (as well as photo's of the flight and awesome scenery) than check out my facebook. All the pictures (or rather most of them) are up there. Here are the public links to them for those who are interested. --

I had such a blast while I was there and I'm seriously considering moving out there someday soon. Maybe not too soon since I have so much left to do here, but eventually. I guess I'd put it on the top five list of places I want to live someday (the other four being Japan, Scotland, Ireland, and Italy).

I've also been thinking of going back to school. I've been looking at some of the courses NBCC offers and some of them are pretty tempting, but I'll have to think on that a lot longer. It's just something that I feel driven to do.

Now I'm off to go eat something and then hit the pavement for a run. *wave*

Going, going...

2009-05-15T08:15:30Z

AAAAAAND I'M GONE! ♥

See you all when I get back. Eventually. Or something.

♪Leeeeeaaaaving on a jet-plane!♫

PS - Here's to first time plane trips and hoping I won't develop another irrational fear. (Spiders and injections are plenty for me thanks).

Normal is for lame people.

2009-05-14T13:47:52Z

String instruments are my new love. Cello, violin, and guitar. Dammit. When played correctly they're orgasm inducing. And recently I've found a lot of music where they're played beautifully. The piano has been shoved into the backseat of the car that holds my love of instruments. Bugger. And I thought I was over this 'classical' love business. Damn. ♥

Things that need to be done before tomorrow:
~~1) Pack suitcase.~~
~~2) Get bridesmaid dress from the seamstress.~~
~~3) Make food to bring on the plane.~~
~~4) Change the litter in the cat's shitbox.~~
~~5) Charge NintendoDS and MP3 player.~~
~~6) Put lots of new music and old favorites on MP3 player.~~
~~7) Pack books. Like 3-4 books. (this flight is long-ish)~~
~~8) Don't forget your sisters wedding gift.~~

Whoo~ xD Craziness is awesome. First time flying should be interesting if anything. Here's hoping I don't develop another irrational fear.

Fly like a bird!

2009-04-29T16:04:29Z

Whoo! Fun times! This is like the third time my sister and the hotel have had 'words' about the date of her wedding, but it's finally fixed and my flight is booked for that weekend.

We are the beaver.

2009-04-27T14:38:54Z

The US is the eagle, Russia is the bear,
Australia is the kangaroo, cause they're kind of weird down there.
Yeah, India is the tiger, that stands so proud and tall,
But Canada is the greatest of them all.

We are the beaver, we're furry and we're free
Yeah, we are the beaver, we got two big front teeth
Yeah, we are the beaver, we can chew right through small trees
We are the beaver, we are the beaver, we are the beaver.

(Sometimes the trees aren't that 'small'.)

You might think a rodent is a pretty lame choice
For a national animal, but don't you listen to that voice.
No, cause all them birds and predators, just take from the land
But the beaver, always gives a dam.

We are the beaver, we got cute little webbed feet
Yeah, we are the beaver, it's bark we like to eat
Yeah, we are the beaver, a nickel we complete.
Yeah, we are the beaver, we are the beaver, we are the beaver.

The eagle flies the sky above and swoops down on its prey
The big bear will maul anyone who dares gets in its way
The tiger is the greatest of the hunters today.
But the beaver it can build dams. Yeah,
The beaver it can build dams, dams, dams.

We are the beaver, we slap our tails when danger's nearby
We are the beaver, we got waterproof hides
Yeah, we are the beaver, we got big bums and beady eyes.
We are the beaver, we are the beaver, we are the beaver.

We are the beaver, our name is often used as a double entendre
We are the beaver, cause in Canada, both French and English belong
Yeah, we are the beaver, and the subject of this song is
We are the beaver, we are the beaver, we are the beaver.

I can't hear you.
We are the beaver, we are the beaver, we are the beaver
Are you getting the point?
We are the beaver, we are the beaver.
We are the beaver. ♥

I met a beaver on my walk yesterday and decided to show some Canadian pride because of it. Therefore I'm not putting it under a cut! No sir-ee! =P
Here's the song: Arrogant Worms - We Are The Beaver

Blaaaagg.

Rain, rain go away... AND DON'T COME BACK FOR A FEW DAYS.

Uuugh. I wanna go out and play but the rain made the walking trail knee deep with mud.

There will be vengeance. Someday.

I love the whole world and all it's craziness.

Happy Earth Day!

I hope everyone is doing his or her part to be environmentally friendly today. I spent the better part of the day helping some elementary school kids collect all the garbage and clean up a nearby park.

There's so many every day little things that we can do each day to make the environment a little better.
-- Use reusable lunch containers instead of plastic and paper bags.
-- Use reusable recycled 'green' bags from grocery stores instead of having them bag your groceries in those plastic bags.
-- Rather than bottled water, filter your tap water through a Brita (or equivalent) and bring it with you in a glass or aluminum bottle.
-- RECYCLE any plastic bottles you might have.
There's a tonne more. Confining all the good we could be doing for our planet to one day a year (two if you count Earth Hour) isn't going to be helpful in the long run. Little things, everyday are what's going to help change the earth. ♥
