SUBTITLED: Leaving in 4 DAYS!!! YIKES
I can't believe that I only have 4 more days left in my hometown.....it might even only be three depending on the weather. But I really want it to be four. Theres something I have to do on Monday....which is going to be extremley hard for me. It will be ten years to the day that a dear friend of mine tragically passed away. I think its going to be an emotional day for me. It always is. Last year was especially hard....and for some reason this year is hard too. I guess realizing that its been a decade since he's been gone, makes my heart break! Having so much time makes me think about stuff more. I guess you never get over the loss of a friend no matter how fast time goes.
So, I am doing a terrible job with this packing. I feel like I am getting NOWHERE with it. Do you even realize how much clothes I have to go through and how much I need to figure out whats going with me now and whats staying. The main thing is that I have my cds and stuff like that packed......BUT...mom informed me today that I have to repack everything if I dont want it to get beat up. Oh the fun of it all. I guess thats a job for Saturday.....if Im not TOO hungover.
Im really going to miss all of my Newfie friends. Its gonna be tough starting a new and different life in another province, but as I have realized this Summer past, I cant live here for the rest of my life!
Well, thats pretty much all I can think of to write right now. Im gonna try to blog before I move! I cant make any promises though! Im far from perfect ya know!
Peace Out!!

Thinking
I am feeling sad right now because one of my closest friends lost a very important part of her life. Tiff, I know it is hard..and sometimes you just dont know what to say in situations like these. All I can say to you is that I am here for you, I'll be a shoulder to lean on.
Lucky was such a great puppy...no matter how scared I was of him sometimes, I still loved him. I remember so well how we used to play in the yard while I was waiting for you and I would throw the rocks around and he loved that so much! He was always so full of life. And even when you went to town to do your studies I would walk past him and he would be sitting out in the yard and I would say hello to him. Im going to miss him so much as well. Rest in Peace Lucky. You will forever be missed!

Year in Review....at last
This is it people. The long awaited year in review. Tiff..my humblest apologies for taking so long. You know how it is when you're lazy and you just dont want to do anything! Anyway, here goes!! And by the way..it may not be that interesting.
January
January came and went with the blink of an eye. I took the first week off to "dig out" my room as my mom calls it. I have to be honest and tell you that I didnt get that far. How come it is when you have all this free time to do stuff that you just dont want to get around to doin anything? I done what I could do anyway. Also throughout the month I got addicted to my PS2....going thru my usual spurts which lasted about 3 days! Yeh..the game got difficult, I got impatient so I gave up!! Thats my defeatist attitude for you..if thats what you can call it.
Unfortunatly throughout January some tragedy took place. The really crazy and scary part of it is that this tragedy took place two days before the 9 year anniversary of another tragedy...one that I to this day havnt got over!
February
Hmmm What can I say about February? Lots and lots of snowdays!
Also, the month of looove. I always enjoy Valentines Day because its a great day to show the person you love how much you really care for them. I cant explain my self on this one though....Valentines was a little different for me because of certain situations that I dont want to elaborate on.
One of the major highlights of February was that I was asked to perform in a variety show. Now anyone who knows me, knows that I love getting on stage and just being silly. I may come off as a quiet young woman, but it doesnt take me long to really show my true colors. So of course, I accepted. And Im glad I did! Cuz I loooved it! And it also preapred me for the following variety show in March.
March
March proved to be a very interesting month. Not like excellente interesting but...just interesting.
For starters it was a month of many changes. Some things just werent working out the way that they should have so with much thinking and consideration I decided to make a big step. I'm just thankful that I got to have the experience and the 4 years that came along with it.
As I have said before, we also had another variety show for my work. I got on stage as much as I possibly could. (Trust me on this one.) A lot of time went into this show and I look forward to it every year!
More changes came with March. I met new friends and hung out with a different crowd. I drank a little bit and had a good time just being me!
April
One highlight of this month was going on a business trip with my boss (and also friend) Harold. I have to admitt though that I felt very out of place. I learned a nice bit of stuff though so that was alright.
In March I got into a new relationship and things were going good. (I dont really want to elaborate on my relationships because I dont feel comfortable doin so..besides, theres some information that should be kept private.)
Tiffany, you came out for a great night of Karaoke. What a laugh it was. You know, Im a shy person...or at least that is the impression I give off first, but when I want to be noticed I will get up and do pratically anything..especially when I have a couple of drinks in me! I sang my little heart out and even had my name drawed for 3 free dance passes to the club. It was sweet!
May
Spring was blooming and the weather was finally getting alittle bit warmer....thank goodness. The gross thing was, was that I got a terrible cold during this month. Maybe that doesnt sound like interesting news, but when you work at the same place in the same town for so many years there really isnt that much to talk about! Luckily after a couple of days my fever broke and I was better in no time.
Geez, its really funny because I dont know what to say. So Im going to go on with the rest of the year..sorry that May was so Lame!
June to August
Work was the same as normal, but the bonus part was that we were getting lots of people hired on which gave me more time to do the administration!
Holy geez...I got like nothing at all to talk about...so I decided to clue up these three months in one! July came but not with a heatwave.
Oh yeh, I should mention that mom made a discovery about me that changed alot of stuff....but I wont get into that!
Anyway, like I was saying the Summer came and actually flew pretty quickly. I was really busy trying to plan out special events, and gettin things ready for the festival. Now the festival dance is something I look forward to every year. This year, my long time friend tiffany came out to celebrate with me. I also had the pleasure of meeting Corey...you''re awesome buddy. Dont ever forget that.
On August 27 My parents and I started a long 3 day drive (and boat trip) across the province to NS. And trust me, When you are stuck in a van for 3 days you do a lot of thinking.
September to November
Being away from home and my friends and even my puppy dog made me super homesick. But, I quickly got over that. I met the most wonderful man while I was there. And my sisters wedding was beautiful. Yeh, I actually wore a dress.
While I was away, I got to know the man who is now a part of my life and I fell HARD! When I got back to NL I knew what I had to do. It didint go the greatest but I knew there was nothing left for me in my hometown and I knew that the relationship I was in before wasnt working.
Also, I made a huge decision in what I was going to do with my life. I decided that I was going to make a big step and move to NS with my wonderful new man. I thought for sure that my parents were not going to like the idea that much but when I sat them down during Thanksgiving Day weekend they were very supportive.
October brought a lot of things into perspective. Alot of really terrible happened so it really put into perspective just how short life really is. Thats why you have to live your life to the Absolute fullest!
And one more thing before I end these months, I put in my resignation paper.....talk about your big step!
December
This was an awesome month. Christmas and my birthday were two great things to celebrate. I turned 26 this year. I went to a party with my good friend on my birthday as well.
My boyfriend came here on the 16 which was great because I havnt seen him for near 3 months, and you can only imagine how much I missed him! Also on the 16th we had our Annual Christmas party which was also my going away party and I got a rose and a beautiful watch as a parting gift. The youth centre will always be a place I will hold close to my heart for years to come!
That night we went to the club and I had an awesome time just being with him. For the remainder of the weekend we spent most of the time together as much as we could, and then on Monday, he headed back to his hometown to spend Christmas with this family!
Christmas was full of surprises for everyone. I got my luggage set which is going to be a big help when I move!
Boxing Day arrived as well with Chris not far behind. We exchanged Christmas gifts and he spoiled me.....he gave me so much including a beautiful ring. That night we went to see one of the most awesomeist bands ever!
Two days later we went to his hometown and I spent a week there. Also, rang the new year in with a bang and new friends. Probably one of the best NYE's I have ever had. Tiff, I am once again really sorry for not getting the opportunity to see you before I came out! Distance was a major thing in our way...and of course my self inflicted sickness.
So as you see, that was my whole year. There wasnt really a lot to say but I tried my best.
PEACE OUT!
