back from vacation & getting ready for college

♪♫ Rooster - Alice in Chains

I'm back from vacation! I had a really amazing time! The first night I was there, my best friend Kara and I spent the night at a motel that was in the middle of nowhere. We arrived there at night and during a thunder storm, so it was really creepy, haha... we drank, ate junk food, talked, and watched House of 1000 Corpses. It was awesome... but the motel room was really shitty. She brought her own sheets for us, because motel sheets are usually gross... and when she tried to plug the mini fridge in... one of the prongs fell off! But it was only $50 for the night, so we didn't expect quality, haha. It was one of the best nights I've ever had! ♥♥♥



The rest of this won't be in order... I can't really remember what happened when... but yeah...

I went to the movies twice (I saw Nerve & Suicide Squad).

Went out for dinner pretty much every single day. My favorite place was a local pub that had vegan chili, which was amazing!

I decided just to be a strict vegetarian rather than vegan. I'm going to eat 95% vegan. But I'll be vegetarian for the sake of going to restaurants and also when it comes to sweets on holidays.

Seen all my friends except for two people. I also managed to avoid the two exes that I didn't want to see.

I went bowling, and I won!

I went to the arcade twice, and won a few cool things (a whale eraser, plush tie dye dice with peace signs, and friendship bracelets).

Drank a few times, but didn't really get drunk.

Ended up running into my mother (who I hadn't spoken to in a year and a half), and we worked things out.

Ended up staying an extra week.

My mum gave me a card + $100 for graduating.

Bought lots of cool shit (mexican style backpack, peace sign hemp necklace, Hogwarts shirt, & Harry Potter funko figures) + got some gifts from people (Doctor Who shirt, handmade Tardis purse, hand painted Christmas ornament, space backpack, aviator sunglasses, & The Dark Knight Rises on DVD).

Went back to smoking cigarettes (but quit once I returned home)

Met some of my friends' kids that I hadn't met before. They were so cute!

Visited all my favorite places in the city.

Went to the pride parade, which was really fun!

Got to spend lots of time with my kitty!

Went for a couple drives around the city.

I think that is pretty much it.

Here is all the stuff that I got...



Other random pictures from my trip...



I've been home from my trip for a couple of days now. I really miss my old city... I may move back there after college. Speaking of college... I found out that I'm being funded by the government and I can stay on social assistance, which means I will not owe any money back after school! But sadly that also means that I can't stay in a dorm on campus. Instead, I'm gonna try to rent a room. There are a bunch of ads online for people wanting to rent rooms out to students in the area. I emailed like ten of them already. Just waiting to hear back now. I'll be happy as long as the people are nice, its clean, close to the school, has wifi, its affordable, and I can eat vegetarian and healthy! Wish me luck! I'm not religious, but pray for me, haha!

Also, I ordered a few things for myself online yesterday; a replica of Jim Morrison's necklace, an authentic serape from Mexico, a tie dye Led Zeppelin shirt, and a David Lynch pin! They are all things that I've had on my wish list for a while now, so I finally decided to get 'em! I'm also going on a shopping spree for clothes in the next couple weeks! I'm buying almost a whole new wardrobe! I also need to get school supplies, supplements, and large wooden bowls (I just think they look cool & they're perfect for big meals too). I may also buy a few more bedding items. Not too sure yet. But I'm excited!


I've got a lot of stuff to do in the next few weeks, plus some family is visiting from out of town... so I'm not sure when I'll write another blog. Hopefully soon though!
