Reminiscing the past with tropical animals

I had such a fun day today!
When I woke up this morning with Molly jumping all over my head, I decided that I didn't want to spend the day doing nothing. When Janna came home from her swimming lessons, I decided to take an adventure downtown to the Montreal Biodome. I hadn't been there since I was about 6 years old, so going back was quite an experience for me. I had totally forgotten about what it looked like on the inside. We saw a whole bunch of neat animals, took tons of pictures, explored the gift shop and had a yummy croissant at the café. All in all, it was an awesome day!

I decided to drive downtown too. The more I drive, the more experience I will have and I couldn't think of a better day than today to take a minor risk with my car... I have my full license now! I can't believe that 2 years have already passed, it's nuts!
I can't wait for the rest of my vacation too. It seems like everyday I will be doing something exciting, which is great for someone who tends to have a more or less uneventful life... hahaha! I am so anxious for Melissa's BBQ and of course WARPED!

The Ugly Duckling

It's one thing to feel ugly, but another to be told that you need to start making changes because "you've gained a lot of weight." I had the pleasure of getting this speech from my father this morning, and although his intentions were encouraging, he definitely succeeded at making me feel like a pile of shit.

I guess in a sense he's right.
I need to start proving him wrong.

He brought up the fact that I am getting older and that I still haven't had a boyfriend.
He brought up the fact that I have a heart murmur and that it's not good for my health.
He brought up the fact that heart disease and heart attacks run in our family.

He made me feel horrible. I didn't say anything back.
Who knew that a rice crispy square could cause such controversy. Might I add, that it's still in the wrapper... I couldn't stomach to look at it after that lecture.

What a great way to start my vacation...

Summertime!

Forgive me.
I haven't written anything for the longest time...not that all that much is new.

Lately, I've been spending my time going to school, working and seeing friends. I live the life of a person who doesn't really have a life hahaha. It's okay though, I know that the summer has a lot of interesting things in store for me, some of which I am not looking forward to and others that I wish would come faster.

Work, for many people, has been the biggest hassle lately. With every shift, I realize how much I am being taken advantage of and how worthless I feel when I leave there. I love my job. I know it's sad to think that a teenage girl could love working at a grocery store, but I do. I think it's all about the people though, because otherwise I would have been gone yesterday. I can't stand the fact that the supervisors are not being recognized for the work that they are putting in, salary-wise and with appreciation. On top of it all, I have a feeling that I am going to be doing night shifts all summer, and there is no way that I am going to be able to accept that. I guess time will tell, right? Man will it be hard for me though if I ever do leave... I'll probably go through a mild depression.

Other than work, and the usual boring stuff... summer time has been treating me pretty well so far. I have a whole bunch of concerts lined up this summer and I can't be more excited for the dates to come, especially for the Jimmy Eat World concert!

I have two weeks off in July, and I still don't know if I am doing anything exciting with/without my family, gotta start figuring that out soonish. Until then, tootles!

Morning Wishes

I am...

keeping my fingers crossed.

Lights, Camera, Action.

I have never been so excited to see a movie. It's crazy to think how I had never seen this show before but ever since I started getting into the show, I can't imagine my TV life without it!

45 days left, and I still have 3 seasons to go...eesh. I don't know how I am going to finish all of those episodes of Sex and the City in time for the movie! One thing I know for sure is that I am going to take that night off work so I can go and see the movie with my ladies, it's going to be an amazing night.

P.S. I cannot wait to go back to NYC! It's going to be that much more amazing the second time around!

Here's the trailer for the movie:

19 years young.

It has already been a week since my birthday party. I can't get over how fast time goes by...19 years old already and my life hasn't nearly begun. It scares me, but I think that that's half the fun- being scared about what the future holds.

Anyway, I had an amazing time last weekend with my favorite people. We all headed out for dinner at Wienstein & Gavino's on Crescent street. I had never been there before, but it was a very nice place. The food was amazing, but portions were big enough to feed a third world country in its entirety. Highlight of the meal was my Sex on the Beach, so yummy.

After that, we spent about half an hour trying to figure out what to do before Jess & Megan showed up. Finally, James, Kay and I made the hike up the hill to their car. It was then that I got to test out my heels and I must say that those shoes are a God-send.

We finally arrived at Sev7en at around 11:30pm to find a HUGE line up down the street. Luckily Selina is related to one of the owners so we got in no problem. It was then that the real fun began. It was Sev7en's one year anniversary so the club was packed! The music was amazing and they even had a live bongo drummer and belly dancer during one of the songs. It was great! We took so many pictures too! We also decided to buy a bottle of vodka instead of spending $10 each on a drink. It was worth it in the end, despite the fact that some pitched in WAY more than others...*cough*KATE*cough*... I'll pay you back somehow, someday.

All in all, I had an amazing time!

Down

I don't like the feeling of tears down my face... but more so, the way I feel on the inside.
I know I made a big deal over nothing, I'm sorry.
