hate to meddle

i’m not one to normally meddle but in recent years i’ve realized i’ve got to go after things or else i’ll miss out. now just whether i’m going to come off like an ass that just doesn’t understand or someone who’s striving to get to know someone better is going to be a whole other story. hopefully it’s the latter.

i hate when the brain goes a mile minute. especially when you find out so many interesting things, similarities et al. hmm…contemplation ensues on a daily basis on how to pursue certain things. i mean honestly…can this seriously happen in real life? it seems partially movie like…and maybe that is what i’m striving for since i’m such a film junkie…discovering the perfect movie moment….maybe i’m backwards and old fashioned and just need to be a little more free thinking, who knows.

without risks there’s never gains. perhaps i should just be straight forward and question. vey interesting. i’m hopeless haha.

when feeling empty..watch high fidelity. haha top 5 time.

TOP 5 Songs to describe the moment:

4. Keane – Somewhere Only We Know
3. Simple Plan – Perfect
2. Josh Kelley – Amazing
1. Brand New – The Quiet Things No One Ever Knows

i’m glad that certain things have been left out of the picture lately. unfortunately money is not one of them. but that’s another seperate topic in it’s own.

so many of my past worries have finally evaporated. visiting my sister was a totally different experience that opened my eyes. i feel like a completely different person now that i’m back. dealt with some personal demons and cleaned some of the skeletons out of the closet. as much as i’ve hated how my sister can read me like a dollar store political speech i’ve always loved her dearly…maybe because she’s the only real *blood* family i consider “family”.

i have no shame in saying i’m awfully proud of her. how she turned out, how she’s settled down, and how she’s dealing with life. her insights have always been a major influence. my goals are to walk that same path and follow her footsteps in terms of life decisions. i know along the way there’s always been painful moments but seeing the big picture now and how things are it’s totally worth it.

if i have to make a few sacrifices now, i can handle it. if i have to make a move to pursue my hopes of happiness in all i do and it results in less money, less access, less is definitely going to be more for me.

i’m going to surround myself with people with the same aspirations. i’m glad i’ve already got that part down…but i do know there’s been leaches that have taken advantage of my relative good nature. that’s not going to happen any longer, it’s something that numerous people have pointed out and it’s become something i can no longer ignore.

now to get these steps down.

introducing my niece Nicolette Iris Gaston (insert super wide grin here)

busy eeps

wow talk about a hectic. maybe i shouldn’t have pulled so many strings to get so many days off for vacation. i actually only used 7 days of my vacation time but managed to disappear out of town for 14 =o)

so now i’m stuck working all these other days straight and crummy 1-9 shifts. not to mention a bunch of financial errands to run here and there…but i’m glad i’m not affected by that processing delay with RBC.

it’s been mighty cool at work…they’re giving every single employee a free samsung x426…i think they’re like investing over 10 mil on doing that…but oh well that’s awful nice of em…yippees another new phone…

ran the bc childrun charity thing today…it was actually quite fun..not to mention that i’m totally out of shape…oh wells *weeeeeeez*

still figuring out what the hell walgreens did to my memory card…but hopefully have some pics posted of my excursion soon

happy.

i’m happy. i’m joyous. i’m relaxed. i’m proud. i’m in awe. i’m inspired. i’m feeling faboulous! this disappearing excursion was great. so much to blog it’s gonna span a few and i’m sure some of you are going to get sick of my rambling…but i’ll blog as i remember. soon pics will come…unfortunatley one of my memory cards got messed up at walgreens when i was trying to develop some pics on the go so i’ve lost some of the more wild photos.

it all started with my flight. america west. vancouver is one of their new destinations. i must say the plane ain’t that pretty and there’s no food on the flight but the employees are all wicked. plane got delayed leaving vancouver and it was fun flying with stacey the girl from the check in. i didn’t know they could fly on the flights they were working on. met Erin and her friend on the plane and next thing you know the stop over in vegas wasn’t so bad…skipping the 3 hr line at paradise going straight through to the VIP, fear and loathing on someone else’s tab is awesome. all you guys i partied with i had a blast i wish i could remember all your names i’m just awful bad at remembering names on first encounters but i made an honest effort alcohol doesn’t help.

erin, stacey, mike, shayla, er clarence, the rest of you wild hellions… stay beautiful…

and stace…i was saying i always get winged aisle…NOT winged owls hahah thanks for the company…

after getting disoriented and fooling around and frantically trying to find my way back to the airport…i heard what sounded like an angel asking me why i looked so distraught…after explaining my irresponsible vacation nature…i scored a ride to the airport with Brea…you’re a babe thanks…

leaving las vegas … but will be back probably with some friends to party if y’all still there..but wherever the winds take you…definitely stay in touch to keep the party going hahah

landing in st louis there was much to see…#1 joy was seeing my niece..she’s a total cutie…and you’ll all get to see some photos once i sort through em and find out what didn’t get screwed up by stupid walgreens…

chilled at the famous blue berry hill where all the st louis musical talent were basically born and bred..and where all the celebs come to chill…even nelly furtado! plus they have some kick ass simpson memorabillia…

all located in the hip “the loop” … checked out the cathedral basillica…went to six flags and now i can tell jen mah..you pussy mr freeze sucks the six flags sucked..the most fun i had there was on the kiddy scooby doo ride i liked it better than the others..

checked out meremec caverns, “the hill”, “central west end”, “south grand”, “maple wood”

met my sis’ neighbour lorraine who’s hilarious…”stupid seniors!” “mmm lorraine you’re a senior…” “i know…but we’re always in people’s way and so slow….”

ruger’s grown…he’s no longer the large dog i remembered….he’s now the GIGANTIC BEAR of a dog. Tiara’s a camera hog…but my niece is still the centre piece…such a doll…

i’m actually very proud of how my sis turned out..seeing her as a mom, owning a very very nice house that we’d consider a character home here in van, a harley, a sonoma, and a windstar van. wow you’ve got your life in order.

i’ll have blog more at a later date this jet lag thing has me screwed up..but pictures and a travel section will be coming up soon… =o)
