Thoughts and Things

Yesterday I went to Niagara Falls with my college. Now a school trip is always boring right? Wrong. In college (this trip specifically) we were on the bus for 2 hours, and when we got the the falls we were told "be back here by 6:30" we could do whatever we wanted. We were responsible for our actions. Of course I had to go see the falls because I've never saw them before. They were exciting for a whole 3 minutes, but I had 8 hours to fill. My friend and I decided to explore, and we looked up a hill and saw a road filled with lots of things. We started with the Guinness World records, followed by a fun house, where we also got lost in a hall of mirrors. We then went in search of the Mystery Get Lost Maze, which is basically an outside maze that looks also like a castle. We then went to Montana's for lunch, because I have an obsession with that restaurant. We went to Ripley's Believe it or Not, after, and that was so strange, but it was fun at the same time. F...

This post is a week overdue, I know. I saw Barenaked Ladies, and Hedley in concert, now I didn't take any pictures or videos of the Barenaked Ladies, but I do have a picture and quick video of Hedley. The concert was absolutely amazing, I had floor seats for the concert, so I was in the second row of the concert. In the picture to the right you can see how close I am. It was beyond amazing to be this close to a band I listen to fairly often. My favourite part of this whole concert (when Hedley was on stage) was when Jacob would grab a bottle of water, take a few sips, and then throw it into the crowd, he did that three times, making sure to get most of us a little wet. I don't think anyone was expecting that to happen, but it was so awesome at the same time. Now as for the video I took, its only about thirteen seconds long, but its something I'll have to remember the night. And because I'm a noob at attaching videos (and making them play) I can't post the video...

College has a lot of ups and downs, especially when you factor in all the work that comes with college. But the best thing is the first week, especially for a first year. First years get frosh week, for anyone who doesn't know that just means a week filled with fun activities, and the frosh week varies depending on the school. For me, there was a movie being played last Saturday, Sunday was an icebreakers event, Monday a free barbecue, and comedy show (which was really good, aside from one comedian who wasn't all that good), Tuesday was a carnival, yesterday there was the freak show: Monsters of Schlock and they set a new Guinness record for most baking sheets hit over the head. Tonight there is a campfire (depending on the weather), I don't think there is anything for Friday, but we are having a private event on Saturday. This private event on Saturday is indeed the concert, as the title suggests. The concert will start with Brave Shores (if you don't know who t...

So I'm back in college, meaning posts will definitely not be often. But this years I'm in a new school, and its definitely a bigger school, but that's alright. This year I'm living with three other people (one of which is a friend from my last school), its a change from living with one other person, but hopefully I get used to it. The rooms are definitely smaller, but at least there's a living area, so I can feel a little more at home, which is always nice. There is one thing that really sucks with this residence is that they have four people to a room, and they don't supply a fully fridge, so my friend and I have ordered a mini fridge to share, and use for the year. The great thing about going from one school to another (within the same program) is that I can get exempt from classes I know I don't like, or ones I genuinely don't want to take, for various reasons, one of which could be: its too early (meaning an 8am class). I just hope I don't get...

Over the years I've had many cats. I'll admit, I'm a cat person, and I have plans to get my own cats when I move out on my own. But today, here is some pictures of my current cats: To start, this is Tangerine. He's three years old, and he absolutely loves to talk, be outside, and roll in the grass. He's basically my domesticated tiger, or at least that's what I call him. We got him as a kitten, and he's just a big suck. The only thing is he won't cuddle up with you, unless he goes to you to curl up. And he refuses to wear collars, no matter what we do. And here is my newest addition to the family. This is Paisley, and she's two years old. We only got her (almost) two weeks ago, from one of my dad's co-workers. She hasn't really bonded to anyone except for me, and isn't too fond of my brother or my mom, and isn't sure what to think of my dad yet. She loves to talk too, but when she's done with your attention she will make i...

Only twenty-one days left until I move back into residence at school. I'm ridiculously excited to go back to school. I haven't been this excited since... forever. College really makes you enjoy school. I know everyone says "High school is the best four years of your life". I don't know what they were on in high school, but it was definitely the worst four years (actually five for me, I did another year after I graduated). In high school there's so much drama, and you can lose friends in the blink of an eye. The only part I actually enjoyed about high school was prom, and I can say that some people do regret not going to their proms, its not like a regular school dance. It's more fun (especially when you and your friends call going to McDonald's, still dressed up, an after party). In college, the possibility of making friends is endless. You can literally make friends anywhere. And you can go have fun whenever you like. For me and my friends, we would...

Over the weekend the campground I went to played this movie. I've never saw Inside Out  because I am behind on Disney and Pixar movies. I absolutely loved this movie. It was adorable, and right from the beginning it makes you think about things and different aspects of your life. I do not remember a lot from the movie unfortunately, but I know it was overall cute. And it did make me shed a tear at the end. And I absolutely loved the cat emotions at the end during the credits. It made me laugh so much, and being a cat person, I can say that that much was very true to cats in general.

In a Heartbeat - Animated Short Film   There's been a lot of controversy about this short animated film. People saying that the video will have a negative effect on kids. When in reality, it would have a positive one if any. I highly suggest anyone and everyone watch this four minute video. Below is my brief synopsis of the film. The video is about a little boy who forms a crush on another little boy. Its a harmless little crush. And this little boy feels judged by his peers for being different, for being gay. There is a little heart that constantly tries bringing these two boys together. And it ends up resulting in the heart getting broken (in half). But of course it wouldn't be a kids short film if it didn't have a happy ending. So in the end, of course the two boys have their little childhood crush on each other. The film brought a tear to my eye after it had finished. I'm a person who supports the LGBTQ+ so it was great to see it shown from a little boys pe...

So this weekend is a along weekend in Canada. This weekend is Civic holiday weekend. Don't bother asking what its about, I honestly have no idea. But this weekend I get to go camping. I haven't gone camping in about a year so I'm excited, except for the bugs, obviously. But since I'm camping I won't be able to post anything. I will try to write things into my note app on my phone so I'll have something to write about, and to reference when I get back home.

So whether you readers know, or don't know, I am a red head (or at least I think I am). Technically my hair is a mix of red, blonde, and brunette. Red base, blonde highlights, and brunette low lights, and its all naturally this way. My mom always told me I was a strawberry blonde, but that definitely has more blonde in it. And I must be a red head, because my skin is always pale, I'm 1/8th Irish, and I have freckles, everywhere. Oh. And the most important thing... I have two skin colours. Pale white, or lobster red. Those skin colours that I have is just what I want to talk about today (and what I've meant to post earlier this week, work I tell you, it takes over and makes you so tired). Being pale really sucks. You can't go outside for an hour in the middle of summer without sunscreen/sunblock and not get a burn. I know this first hand. Back on Sunday my family and I went to an ice cream fest in my town, and I figured we should only be gone under an hour, its not t...

I mentioned that I'm working days this week (and this week which just passed) and I thought I would get loads of sleep on the weekend. I was wrong. Very wrong. I consider myself to be a morning person, but I love my sleep. Before this past week of work I was sleeping in until 9 am. And now that a week of days has gone by.. Yesterday I was awake at 5:30 am, but I forced myself back to sleep, and didn't wake up until my mom banged on my door at 8 am telling me to get out of bed. This morning (Sunday) I woke up around 6:45 am (it is now just after 7) and I can honestly say that I haven't saw this time, on my own with no work to be at and no alarm, since I was in high school.. But I miss my good sleep schedule, at one point I had a record of sleeping until 10 am, but I just miss sleeping until 9 am. I'll get there again. After the end of next week (the week after this one) My sleep schedule may be sort of back to normal. Hopefully. I'll be working afternoons, so I w...

As a student, we all long for the freedom of summer. To do nothing, to hangout with friends, to sleep until whenever, stay up all night. Well you can...when you don't have a job. In school I was always that person too, I loved summer. It was the only time I could read and watch movies to my hearts content, and not be bothered with homework, or tests, or exams. Then the work thing started up after my grade 10 year, and it was a relatively simple job so it did effect my too bad, only two nights a week, and every other Saturday. When it came to my job in retail, that's when I started hating having a job, but I pushed through, and made it those two months of summer, dreading every day that came closer to school. I finally finished high school. It's amazing, I can do what I want now, right? Wrong. I decided on the path of college. Eight months of school in a year instead of ten. Its a change, but I was alright with it. Summer break for college kids is four months. I've m...

I do realize I missed posting yesterday, but I was super tired last night, after working all day. My exciting news though is my dad has agreed to let us get another cat. We had been talking, and talking. And he has been saying that we were not getting another cat, but when his co-worker just happened to need to get rid of their cat, I think I convinced him. And possibly in 2 weeks I will have a new kitty running around the house. She's 2 years old, only a year younger than my current kitty. I just hope they like each other.

Let me just start by saying... I do not like waking up early. I'm known to be a morning person, but if you wake me up, I can be a grouch. The thing I realize is the only way I wake up in a decent mood is if I wake up on my own. For the past two weeks..I was waking up between 9 am and 10 am, which is my standard summer wake up time, lol. The rest of the year I usually I wake up around 8 am. And then for the next two weeks I get to be woken up at 5 am...its not a thrill. This morning I pulled the blanket back over my head, and tried going back to bed, but of course that didn't work. Ah well, the week had better come faster, that's all I'm saying.

So this weekend I had fun with some friends. My friend from my last college came down, and my best friend (who only lives a couple minutes away) came over. Our original plan was to semi-permanently dye each of our hair. I was supposed to have purple, but the colour didn't work, so I ended up using my best friends teal colour in my hair, and it turned out well. Here's a picture of my best friend and I (I'm the redhead) : Now I do understand that the lighting is bright, but that's clearly because we took the picture outside. We had fun, and that's what matters. We also had a Hunger Games marathon, which was fantastic. The best part was that after we dyed our hair we went to town and played some mini-golf (which I just happened to win I might add). And our mini-golf game was strictly for fun, which it was. And I was so excited when I managed to get the only hole-in-one.  But yes, an exciting weekend was had. And now for these next two weeks I'm on day...

I've been at my summer job for 2 weeks now, and the people there are awesome (and a little crazy 😄 ). But last night my boss told me something great. He told me that he was giving me today (Friday) off, and that I was to have a good long weekend, and we're on days for the next two weeks. Now I do understand that I won't get paid today, and I really need money for school, but a day off is a day off, I'm not going to argue with anyone. My boss really is a nice guy, he's always smiling (even while its hot in the factory), and talks to everyone. I was going to type this when I got home last night, but I figured I'd better wait until I can actually form words and sentences 😏

So typically in the summer I have worked in retail, or in a building owned by my county. This summer though I was really low on cash, and going back to college money is really needed. Well I just happened to find out that the factory my dad works at was hiring students for the summer. And because its a factory I would be getting paid more than working in retail, and I would be getting twice the amount of hours (because I would be full time instead of part-time). Well I've made it through my first week there... It does get warm in there, and its definitely a change compared to being in a place with air conditioning. But I've survived the week. Now hopefully I can survive August, which tends to be the hottest month in the year. But so far all I've been doing is cleaning is working on a nut-welder. It has not been overly fun, but HEY! Who said work was fun?

Now the exterior of my dream home varies. Some days I imagine that I was to live in a condo because I love the modern design. But other times I imagine living in a home that's older, and having the modern interior. That way I would be showing my old soul on the exterior of the home, and my love for modern furniture on the interior. Luckily for me there's a city nearby where I live that has an older side to it, and a newer part of the city on the other side, so I could have the best of both worlds if I wanted to live there. If anyone is curious, the city I am referring to is Cambridge, Ontario.

I started a new job this week in a factory for the summer. Of course the week I started on was afternoons (I leave home at 2pm for work). I'm not the kind of person who can stay up late for days at a time, I prefer to go to bed earlier, typically around 10pm. But because I'm working afternoons, and I don't get home until almost midnight (and don't start to get tired until at least an hour later) I sleep in until 9-10am the next day, and have to plan my breaks, and get ready for work. These shifts are not good for me, but to make up for it, weeks that I'm on afternoons I will post on the following weekends. Meaning this weekend and next weekend I will be posting. The two weeks after that I'm on days and I should be home around 3:30pm still plenty of time to post. Keep in mind that I'm from Ontario, Canada so times will probably be different for each country .

Yes you did read the title correct. I have a dream bathroom too. And like some of the other rooms, I'm not 100% sure what I want. But I do want a white, modern bathroom, and possibly have white tiles with a touch of blue in them. I would want blue accents to reflect the beach feel. I've always thought of having a walk-in shower, but I would be totally fine with a tub/shower combo. This must have been the shortest entry I've done, but it's a bathroom, what's there to say? 😅

To continue my trend these past couple entries... I will talk about what I would love my dream bedroom to look like. Lets state the obvious first, it needs to be modern with that beach vibe. The blue would be carried through the room as well,  but I would love for the comforter to have the blue, because who doesn't love a coloured comforter?  I was thinking something like in the picture:  The only difference would be I would prefer something with a little darker blue (and clearly have the headboard modernized). The beside tables would probably be glass because, I love glass for some reason. And I would have a white fur rug around the bed because that's always a great feeling for your feet in the morning. I haven't really thought of the bedroom, but one day I will know what I want. But for now this is what I want in a bedroom. 

Continuing with my dream home. I will explain what I would love to have in my dream living and dining area. I know most people when explaining what they want in their dream home, they won't go into specifics, but because I'm a design student, I do. I've always wanted to have a glass dining table because of how sleek of an appearance they can have. I also just have a love for glass. As for chairs I would want to put with the glass table...I haven't decided yet, as long as they are modern and reflect my beachy feel everything would fit and work great. Of course the dining area would be right off the kitchen, but I would still bring in some blues through decor to make it blend in with each other. Something similar to the picture on the right. I also decided to add in my dream living area into this post because I'm not 100% sure how I would want the living area. It would need to be comfy, because that's the kind of person I am. I need comfy furniture, but it ne...

Today I thought I should talk about the design aspect of my life. I love to talk about what I want my dream house to look like. So today I'll keep it contained to how I want my dream kitchen to look. To start, I've always wanted dark wood floors just because I love how they look, but I'm still deciding whether I would actually want my floor to be dark, but what I do know is I would want hardwood flooring throughout the entire home, including the kitchen. Kitchen Example The kitchen itself though I would love to have as either an 'L' shape, or  'U' shape. But I would want it open to the living area. And to really express who I am I would want coloured cabinets. I'm the kind of person who can be seen as "boring" so I almost always let my clothes and shoes give my life colour. So I would do the same in the home. I like to think I love the beach feel, but it needs to be a modern beachy feel. To achieve that modern beachy feel I would have t...

I have always loved to travel, even though sometimes my body does not like to travel. I haven't gotten a chance to go travel anywhere for two years. My family used to go to the East coast of Canada every other year, but that has since stopped because of lack of money. We have managed to go on a cruise before, and I must say... the unlimited food was amazing for a foodie like me. That same cruise was the same time I could say that I've been to the Bahamas. The time that I spent on that trip was great and there is no words for the trip. The last time I traveled anywhere was when my family and I drove to Florida and stayed there for a week. The picture here is the view we had every morning. There was a beautiful sunrise each morning, including this one, and the place we were staying at was just off the beach which was always great. The best thing was if the pool was filled with people we could always go to the beach, and if we wanted to walk somewhere we had a 10-15 minute wal...

I apologize for not uploading anything yesterday. I was cleaning my house, and then went to the dentist, and unfortunately my filling hurt the rest of the day, and I didn't really want to do anything. Today though I was busy at my new college for most of the day. And by most of the day I mean I was woken up today at 6:30 am and left for the college by 7 am and did not get home until around 2:30 pm. I had gone to a Head Start program at the college which is basically a chance to meet people from my program, and a chance to tour the college again, and learn any tidbits about the school that I did not know before. Unfortunately for me, I only benefited from getting to know people, and touring the school. The other information I had previously heard about from the college I went to last year. After going through the whole morning of things, I was told that the students who took the time to go to the program would get 30% off any clothes they purchased from the store. So naturally I ...

It may or may not be known, but I was at my cousin's house for the weekend. She seemed to think I needed to "get out more". I definitely got out more this weekend. Every day/night we went out with her, her boyfriend, and their friends. The highlights of the weekend were watching fireworks the night of Canada Day, sitting by a river to watch them because it was easier to do that than to go to the park they were firing them off of. And the other highlight of the weekend was going to a campground for the afternoon to go on my cousin's blow up island on the water. It was a very relaxing two hours, until we came back in off the water, and I realized I had burnt (I have very fair skin, so it was going to happen, even though I did put on two coats of sunscreen). I had a great weekend. I think their cat seemed to enjoy my company this past weekend, and I also think my cousin enjoyed the fact that she had decent competition playing Mario Cart™  because her and I were neck a...

Now I don't play many games, except the Sims  (I will not be mentioning any specific Sims  things). But there are youtubers I watch that play other games. Of course I watch  The Sim Supply , and he posts amazing builds in the Sims , he also has a couple lets plays going on (my personal favourite is his Super Sim Challenge, which has been going on for about a year). He also has another channel he calls  Flabaliki  and this channel has many different games not Sim related. Some of those games are: Cities Skylines , Rollercoaster Tycoon , Planet Coaster , etc. They are really good videos in my opinion. Another channel I watch is  Deligracy . She plays a little bit of everything, mainly the Sims though. She has just recently started playing What Remains of Edith Finch  and I quite enjoy it. And if you're into watching Resident Evil , she has played a bit of that too (fair warning if you watch those, she can get jumpy). Another person I watch ...

So as I have mentioned, I am Canadian. Meaning I get to celebrate my country turning 150 this Saturday. I'll be honest, I'm not one who likes to celebrate. So my way to celebrate Canada Day is by painting my nails, and turning them into the flag (which of course the maple leaf did not look good, lol). Usually I would be sitting at home for the day while everything is closed, but this year instead I will be hanging out with my cousin over the weekend. This being said, I probably won't post anything on the blog this weekend. I will try to post before I leave tomorrow though.

I'm sure everyone has had a job before in their lives. I've had 2 jobs actually classified as jobs. I don't really count babysitting, and working at my mom's home daycare a job. And as of a week and a half from now I'll get to start a new job. Starting a new job is always nerve racking, and it may cause anxious feelings. I know. I went from working at home, to working in a public library, then to working in retail, and will now soon be working in a factory. We will all be fine with starting a new job. The anxiety and nerves go away eventually.

Why do I write? What's so exciting about writing? My answer to questions like that... I just find it calming, and it just suits who I am. Writing started when I was younger, and I was reading on a higher level than the other kids my age. I was always known as being a bookworm. Throughout school we were told to write stories, some people were better at writing than others. My little stories were always a page and a half long (written on lined paper, every other line, only one paper). My stories were always like that until I reached grade 8. By then I got an assignment where I had to write a story that was 10-20 pages long, typed. It was crazy, I didn't think I would ever be able to reach the 10 page mark, but I did, I managed to make at least 12 pages typed, which was over 15 pages written. From there high school hit, and writing relieved me of many emotions I had throughout the years, and into today (when I found the time, and writer's block wasn't in the way). As o...

Warning!!! Possible spoilers ahead!! Read on at your own risk!! I had previously saw this movie in theaters in February. And I thought it was cute. My friends took me to see it for my birthday, since it came out a week and a half after my birthday. I absolutely love Batman, and have called him my favourite superhero for at least a decade. Jump to today, since now I've saw it again, and can remember what actually happens there were some things I absolutely loved in the movie, and somethings I wasn't too crazy about. The things I loved were how its such a cute movie, I love how it shows the flashbacks and hints at previous batman movies, even the show with Adam West (may he forever rest in peace). I love how other fandoms are brought into the movie as well, from Dr. Who , to Lord of the Rings , to Jurassic Park , and Jaws . And even some of the older movies such as Godzilla , King Kong , and Gremlins . I also appreciated how they showed all the forgotten DC ...

I play sims. Need I say more? I can watch HGTV channel for at least 6 hours straight. I should be qualified. Although those are both valid for me, that's not the main reason I chose to go to school for interior decorating. It did start with sims, but I've always been an artsy person, and I took art for the 5 years (I took an extra year on top of the normal 4 years) I was in high school. In my grade 12 year my art teacher told me that she liked how I chose colours that go together. When choosing my colours I would just grab a handful of pencil crayons, and my artsy brain would like colours that would compliment each other, from various colour values (light to dark) within the same family making monochromatic art pieces, to grabbing colours that do not look like they would go together, and adding other colours so that they would work together. The following year, when I was in my victory lap/grade 13 I took a design class, and I quite enjoyed it. I learned the different ru...

Since I play a lot of Sims, I tend to do alright with decorating houses and rooms. I have noted that I have a specific type of decorating "go to". I have a thing for the beach, and I think that is what plays an important factor. My choices usually include a lot of blues, and beachy theme. Even in the Sims when I play I will make the cabinets white, and have 'light furniture throughout the home, or have two tone cabinets where the bottom cabinets will be a navy blue, and the upper cabinets will be white. And then I include blue accents throughout the home. This past year at school for Interior Decorating I forced myself out of that comfort zone, trying things such as using yellow as an accent colour, thinking of attempting red, then remembering that red is really over powering, and you gave to be careful with how you use it. Recently I built a house in the Sims, it was technically two houses on one lot, but one was my standard modern, and blue home, and the other I trie...

I've mentioned how I feel like I don't belong. But why? I'm 20, I know what I want to do in life. I've experienced heartbreak. I've lost a best friend I thought I would never lose (over a really stupid reason on her part). I've gone to college for a year. But why do I feel like I don't belong? I'll tell you why. I don't fit in because while everyone else my age has gone and been in more than 2 relationships (though technically I've only been in 1 officially), I sit at home alone. Everyone goes off about how they want certain things in relationships. I sit at home thinking " All I want is someone to court. Someone I could write letters to. Someone I could travel with. Someone who could understand how I want to stay pure. " Everyone else is doing "21st century things" and I stay at home with my cat, my internet, a book, and sometimes a puzzle. I don't think I've ever fit in. I've always told people that I'm an...

I've always loved the idea of travelling. I've on;y ever been to two places outside of Canada though: the USA (specifically New York, and Florida and driving through every state between the two), and the Bahamas. My list of places to visit is a really lengthy list though. I basically want to travel everywhere. My main goal being Australia. The other main places include France, Italy, Brazil, Greece, and much of Europe. Those are just the main places I would love to visit. I would never object to going to other places, unless I had personal concerns about going. So yes, just a short post today. Have a great day everyone! 😊

I'm come out and say it right away.. I'm an early bird. Some days its great, but where I'm currently working makes it sound unfortunate. I work in retail, and the store I work at is open until midnight, every night. This past week, since Wednesday, I had to be up until just after midnight. But then I take so long to fall asleep at night, I typically go to YouTube and watch some videos, and next thing I know its 2 am, and I'm just then getting tired, but I won't fall asleep until 2:30 am, and then I typically wake up between 7 and 8. It really sucks. And this week since I've been doing this since Wednesday night, I am ridiculously tired, and sleep deprived, and then the weather doesn't help either, giving me headaches from the humidity. Thankfully I only work twice this week, so I should be alright. The only thing keeping me going this week is my shopping trip with my best friend this weekend. I hope all you readers are doing well, and have things to look ...

Today (June 17th) my family and I went shopping for work clothes for me, since I'll be starting a new job in July, and as we were leaving the store, I started thinking about school. What if I don't like the college I'm transferring to as much as I thought? What if I get lost? (I know this will happen, I managed to get lost at my college last year). And  then my thoughts went to moving into residence... What if my roommates are complete strangers to me, and I have nothing in common with them? What if the residence doesn't room me with my friend, even though she requested me..? Its been tough, and unfortunately I'll need to deal with this anxiety until I move into residence on September 2nd. My life is crazy. What can I say? I have public problems, I have school problems, and I have (many) personal problems. I just need to figure out how to deal with these problems, and hope for the best.

Sorry I didn't post anything yesterday. I completely forgot, and then I had to work until midnight (my time). My internet was not working last night either for some reason, so even if I had something planned I wouldn't be able to post it. Today however I have done absolutely nothing except enjoy my day off from work, and relax my knee which has been hurting for some reason. I hope everyone who reads this is doing well, living life to the fullest. Accepting you and each other for who each of you are. I do not have much to say today unfortunately, but I just hope all of you are doing well.

Way back when everything was always a certain way. But today, there are different genders people can accept themselves as and can usually be accepted. There's different sexualities, and people can be accepted that way too. I've just recently come to accept that I am asexual. In case you don't know, that means that I'm not into "doing the nasty"/"doing the do" or however you phrase it. I've never liked the idea of it. I can be close with someone, and be romantic with them, but ask me to go further than that and I'll shrivel up. On the spectrum of asexuality, I find I fit best into the demisexual category. It is very similar to the overall spectrum, except for any sexual feelings may be formed after a strong emotional/friendship level has been formed. Sometimes the Sexual feelings are not formed at all. And I'm perfectly comfortable with that, since I'm not exactly comfortable with the idea, nor do I see the excitement in it. If anyon...

There's always things to get excited for in life, always. No matter what mood you're feeling, there is always something good and possibly exciting to look forward to. I take that right from personal experience, and from a dark time. For me, when my best friend moved away 4 years ago, I thought the world would end, she was the kind of best friend who could make the quiet (me) turn loud. Over those 4 years I didn't think to be excited about how great things would be when we finally get reunited again. I saw her 3-4 months ago, and it was like nothing had changed between us. We were both worried that the other wouldn't want to be friends anymore, but we got over that quickly. And now today, as I watch a person I've known for 16 years ignore me, she is here for me. Her and I have made exciting plans together, which we no doubt will achieve. We've both always wanted to go to Australia. And being from Canada, it's not exactly quick and easy to get to the othe...

Since I'm just starting with the blog, and still letting people figure out what I'm like, I figure I should mention what I do in my time. Since I am 20, I'm on summer vacation. My life consists of working, and I work in retail, so I don't work every day, and some days I'm thankful for that 😄 But by July I may be working in a factory, working every day of the week except weekends. When I'm not working during the summer I tend to be like most youths, and be on the internet all day. For me being on the internet consists of YouTube, and my personal social media. Sometimes the day will consist of playing my PS2 ( Play Station 2 ), and sometimes its Sims 4, sometimes it may even just be reading all day, it all depends on how I feel during the day. While away at school though, my program takes over my time, since it is a project based program. It is very time consuming, and I always like to do my best at projects, so I tend to focus (sometimes too much) on these pro...

Everyone has feelings, and everyone goes through them, whether they admit it or not. The key to being a strong person is knowing how to deal with these feels, or to at least mute them for a bit, until you feel you are ready to deal with them. Different people will deal with feels differently. And what works for one person may not work for another. It all depends on the person, and what is troubling them. For me, I had someone who I was very interested in, and then he vanished without saying a word. It crushed me. I didn't know what to do. My friends at the time thought I was depressed, but I wouldn't admit to that. I was always the happy, positive friend. But I knew I had to do something about it. I'm the type of person who enjoys reading and writing, so I gave writing a chance. I took everything I was feeling (which was a lot of sadness, and sometimes anger) and put it into the main character, then started writing in first person so I knew I would be able to see my emo...

I was originally going to try to post everyday, but I'm thinking, since I'm just starting out with this blog, I may just post whenever I feel like it, or at least if I have any thing I've already written which I would like to post. I don't plan to give up. It's WAY  too ear'y for giving up. But since it is summer break for me, I may not have all the time to post things. My life isn't exactly the calmest life, so if something happens I may post or if I just want to write I will post. This blog will be my new challenge, and I don't plan on giving up this challenge.

Sometimes when you do things, you think people will judge you. I'm not going to sugar coat it, and say they won't, because some people will. Over time you learn that the only person who should care about what you do is you. I play the Sims. Some people think its a stupid game, and that there's no point in it. That's exactly why I like it, there is  no point to it. I've been around this game since its original for the PC. Over time I've learned that I prefer building, over playing God in the actual game play (although some times I do feel the need to kill sims, because you can't play sims if you haven't done that at least once). Once you accept things, other things don't seem to matter, and good things may come from it. I enjoy the Sims, I play it when I can, and I usually build houses, or redecorate others. Yesterday (June 8, 2017) I was building a house, which took 3 hours, because I kept getting distracted, and no lie, a couple seconds after I ha...

To anyone who reads this... Hi. My name is Kristina. In case you didn't read my description, I'm a rather simple person who finds joy in putting my thoughts into writing. I love to express myself through the arts (such as house design, modern art, music, etc.), I also play the odd game, though my favourite has always been the Sims. I have always had a love for cats, and a love for books too, an odd combination considering cats are always shown laying on books, and interrupting people while reading or studying (which I can say, they really do interrupt you). I've always felt like I never belonged, that I was born in the wrong generation, just because I prefer writing, and letters, and "old fashion" things. Hopefully starting this blog will help me to fit in, and hopefully I keep up with it.
