- School is going fairly well. i probably mentioned this - but I was on the media relations team for my college art show and we were the first ones to get press since 1996. My name was even in a couple articles!
- I have family visiting from France.
- Work is OK. Used to it now - which is good because it's getting busy.
- As for the foot thing... going to Baltimore in a week and a half for a pre-opp consultation. Mixed feelings on that... fele free to ask.
- Marcus and I are good. I think we are finally over the "moving in together" shit.
- There is more I would like to say but can't

OK...
I just have a couple more things to do (school-work wise) and then I can actually begin enjoying my reading week.
Despite the fact that my life is somewhat stressful right now things are actually pretty good. I'm working again, having good times with friends, and things with Marcus are finally leveling out. Everyone told me that the first 6 months or so of living with someone are the worst, and they were right. We had a fair share of problems, but we are finally CONSISTENTLY getting along again and legitimately enjoying each other's company - which is excellent.
Now I just have to work my butt off doing this media relations campaign, fine my ipod (or buy a new one), have my operation, and get my $$$ back in order... and things will be close to perfect.
p.s. Queen & Bathurt blew up. What-the-fuck?!

I can't find my fucking ipod. I'm actually very upset. This means I can't go to the gym. Or if I do go to the gym I have to listen to that crap they play... Hinder etc.
Fuck.
The thing is I know I didn't LOSE it. It was in my gigantic purple bag with the million and one zippers. Why is it not there anymore? I didn't take it out. Did somebody STEAL it? Maybe somebody stole it from the staffroom at work.
Or maybe Apple creates it's products to self destruct after a certain period of time.
Uh! And now I have to go to SCHOOL even though it's freakin READING WEEK.
Why did I volunteer myself to be on the media relations team for this art show. WHY WHY WHY? Because really I'm not stressed at all and I'm just getting so much satisfaction from it! And.... you know... I don't wake up in the mornings only to read frantic e-mails demanding news releases and media contacts and fucking feature articles.
At least in the "real world" I would be paid for my services.
And I fucking quit smoking AGAIN about a month ago and only stopped nicorette about a week ago. I think I must suffer from some sort of oral fixation because I just keep STUFFING MY FUCKING FACE. Sometimes I want to start smoking again (or at least chewing nicorette again) just so I won't become a freakin whale!
But on the bright side, Jasmine is coming to visit!!!! Whooo hooo!!!!

1) I am going to see (and excited about seeing) WASP on Thursday.
2) Michelle and I recently went BOWLING with our boyfriends.
3)I recently learned that I have to go to BALTIMORE for an operation (long story). In response I keep listening to (and dancing around to) "Good Morning Baltimore" - Hairspray.
4) On Valentines day I got drunk, spilled wine all over myself, and then passed out while watching "Best in Show". How romantic!
5) The Shoeless Joe's I was working at temporarily shut down. I got tired of their bullshit so I got a new job... at ANOTHER Shoeless Joe's.

MJ: Aren't those pants a little tight on you?
Marcus: I thought that's what you liked?
MJ: Mmmmm... I guess... I dunno.
Marcus: Oh come on! If these pants were blue jeans, I shoved some socks down the crotch, stood with my legs five feet apart and learned to play guitar you would be in heaven!
MJ: No comment.

I hope everybody has a good day tomorrow.
I'm planning on getting smashed in the middle of the day and watching bad holiday films!
Take care everyone.

All I have left are two small assignments, one test and one exam. There is also a large group assignment but that isn't due until January for some strange reason. This girl is excited!
I finally had time today to go and get a new drivers license (well a temp). I feel a lot better. Every time I saw a cop car I was scared of being pulled over. The new license cost me ten dollars, so I guess I will just add that onto my mental tab of what "that girl" owes me.

Marcus needed his ear to pop and the normal methods (yawning, etc) didn't work. He stuck a Q-tip so far into his ear that he caused damage and now he can't hear anything on that side.
Is it bad that I find this funny?
I am a bad girlfriend.
*sigh*

Now I am getting stupidly upset about the little things. Not so much that my camera was a $500 gift from my parents, but that I still has my pictures from Europe on it. I wanted to have those printed and all the ones on my computer have been re-sized. And Marcus had the pictures from Halloween on his camera which I hadn't uploaded at all yet. Michelle and I dressed like Jem and Pizzaz (from Jem and the Holograms) and we were really excited for those pictures.
With the cash and the cameras she stole, Marcus and I have probably lost almost $1000. We are not rich.
I still can't believe that all of this happened. What I've gathered is that she took my ID and went to the bank pretending to be me and saying she lost her card. Thankfully they didn't believe her and froze my account. Now I have the burden of carrying my passport everywhere with me (which I don't want to do in case I lose it) so that I can prove who I am since I have no ID. Technically I shouldn't be driving my car right now, but I need it to get to school. When I do get a new license I will still need my passport because the police put some kind of warning with my ID on their files (so if she uses it she will get questioned and asked for more ID).
As for the cameras the police took the serial number from Marcus' camera and faxed it to pawn shops (so if they get it they will call the police).
I don't really know what will become of this or if she will get into trouble for this at all. But at least I have learned my lesson and will never, ever talk to this girl again.

I can't believe I have been such an idiot. You know that old saying "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice - shame on me"? Well I should be ashamed. Ashamed of trusting a friend who I know for a fact stole from several of my friends. Somebody who stole THOUSANDS from her ex-boyfriend. Someone who should be in jail. I felt bad for her because it seemed like everyone was against her. I felt bad for her because she had a bad homelife. I felt bad for her because she had a problem with drugs.
I knew she had done bad things, but I still stuck with her because she was my friend. Some part of me doubted that she was guilty of all the things she was accused of.
Well not anymore. She stole from me AND MY BOYFRIEND after we were nice enough to let her sleep at our house. Cash, booze, TWO DIGITAL CAMERAS... gone. Not just that, but my BANK ACCOUNT HAS BEEN SUSPENDED due to some curious activity, which they won't tell me about because my PHOTO ID IS MISSING TOO and I need to prove who I am.
She probably pawned our stuff using MY DRIVERS LICENSE as identification. She probably went out and bought a fucking eight ball.
The police are on their way.

I am aware that this is going to sound "off".. especially since most of my friends don't even use livejournal anymore... but anyway... for my own records
I have been thinking about death a lot lately. Probably an unhealthy amount of time... since probably about halfway through the summer. It's hard to sum up what I feel... etc... but I will try. I wasn't raised religiously, but there were points in my life when I went to religious schools. I went to a protestant school (actually two) when I lived in England, and then a Catholic high school when I moved back to Ontario. I never really believed in any of it, because thankfully that is one thing my parents didn't impose on me. At he same time though, I think I believed in something... not the institution of any religion but perhaps I was just spiritual in some way. I think that deep down I though that there was some purpose (although I didn't know what), some reason, some things we didn't/couldn't understand, some afterlife. I felt at times, for example, that my grandmother was with me, and I had one experience in particular that made me believe that there was something beyond this world.
I guess the problem is that now I don't. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that my boyfriend (who I respect) doesn't believe in any of that. He thinks it's just a fairytale people make themselves believe to feel better. And I agree with him... an afterlife doesn't make sense when you think about it... none it it makes sense... and there is probably nothing. And the whole thing makes me really sad...
It makes me really sad that most of us live our lives and leave nothing to remember us by. Our close friends and family remember us, but then they die and it's like we never existed. I really envy people who believe in something, whatever that may be. Convince me....

The Shoeless Joe's thing is going quite well. I am done training and now I'm just in the process of sorting out my schedule. My position kept changing from bartender and server, but I think it's safe to say I will be on bar from now on. I'm looking forward to making money again... I miss being able to randomly buy things. At the moment I have to actually plan out and asses what I can and cannot buy. It sucks.
School is going well also. I don't know if I mentioned this or not but my class got a teacher fired. He was useless and did nothing and we learned nothing. So now our Writing Lab teacher has taken over...
I don't know where the time has gone. Five minutes ago it was summer. Soon it will be Christmas. Holy shit.

Ok so I have a training shift tomorrow at Shoeless Joe's. It's a sports bar type deal, so it's not really my thing, but the tips are probably really good. It's on King street so a lot of the patrons are business men. I went in and talked to the head bartender tonight and she seems really nice. I'm hoping it works out, at least for now.

I've been very productive over the past few days: cleaning and organizing the new apartment, exercising, applying for jobs etc. I'm actually pretty proud of myself! Several of the places I applied to seem quite promising, so I'm excited (although part of me is a lazy bum and likes unemployment).
The weather today is really depressing, especially after the past two days. It seriously went from July to November, it's no wonder so many people are sick. I want to go to Cuba. Now. Seriously.
p.s. shopping would be so mch more fun if I had a man-servant.

I started screaming in the night because I had a dream that there was a MASSIVE RED HAIRY SPIDER on my cat. The spider was biting him and he was meowling in pain and I had to litterally grab the spider in my bare hands and rip it off of him.
When I finally got back to sleep I had a dream that I was smoking crack. Is it quite normal for someone who has never smoked crack, and who has never really seen crack being smoked, to have a dream like that?
After that I had a dream that I lived in the basement of a house containing two ex-boyfriends. I was constantly trying to avoid them in my commings and goings, because it happened to be the two ex-boyfriends where things ended really badly. Then the stupid landlord built a spiral staircase from the main house leading directly into my living room. I'm still mad about it, and it never really happened!
I will never sleep again.

It is almost 8pm. Why am I still at school?
I'll tell you why - stupid feature article... stupid speech... stupid college. This feature article is on pet food for fucks sake... PET FOOD. But it stands a chance of being published in a local newspaper so I'm giving it my full effort. The problem is that I can only work on something for so long in one sitting before my brain shuts down. The speech is a five minute persuasive on why you shouldn't drink and dial, which is a lot more fun.
I still need to go to the gym. I could just skip out on the gym but I'm having a "fat day" so that's not really the best idea.

I threw up after four matinis last night. I can usually hold my drink. I'm somewhat ashamed.
Fuck... I don't want to go to school, I don't want to write a feature article, I don't want to go to the gym. I need some motivation...
