What a week!

So last Sunday (21) I went to a meeting for A Taste of Animethon, which is basically a 1 day event to introduce Animethon, the main convention this summer. It went from an ordinary meeting, to me signing up as a Staff Artist for Animethon. This means I'll be doing a lot of their official art work for this year.
Monday I went into Drader (my old work) because they wanted to talk to me about going back to work in the middle of March. I said yes, went home, and then on Wednesday morning I got a call from my mom saying I could go in when ever I wanted. Thursday and Friday I'm at work!
Saturday was A Taste of Animethon (the actual event). That was a BLAST! Even though I only sold about $10 worth of VHS tapes, and absolutely NONE of my artwork. Russ found some merchandise and DVD sets that I've been looking for.
Sunday was sleep day. Good sleep.
Today was work work work work work.
It's been a CRAZY week! I'm so excited for the Staff Artist projects though. It'll definitely keep me busy for the next few months, plus I'm planning my wedding, my best friends wedding AND getting my own art work updated for convention season.
PHEW! That's quite a load of work.
Therefore... chances of me being around at all are going to be slim. Sorry guys. |

No! My bad luck hasn't stopped. Life is still hell lol.
But the good news is that Russ and I seem to have finally worked things out. We've been dating again since June(ish) and he's moving in with us between now and Christmas.
I'm SO excited! Our relationship has grown so much in the last few months, and we've also grown just as people. He's moving in mainly for financial reasons on everyone's end, but I'm definitely considering this a big step in our relationship, and I know he does as well.
This isn't the first time we've "lived" together. Last year, around this same time, my Grandmother died, and he took care of our house while we were in Newfoundland. I returned early to go to school, and he stayed here probably around 4 months.
Wish us luck! And sorry guys ;) |

The war continues, and probably with a "for sale" sign.

So last night our door was kicked in. We're pretty sure we know who done it, but we're so fed up with my brothers friends that we'll probably move back to Newfoundland when we can afford to.
If there's a God, he works in mysterious ways. Friday night my mom took a very random trip to the casino with my aunt. My mom hates casinos, but she won $600. If she hadn't won that money, we'd be without a door tonight. We've been so down on our luck lately that we're always broke. There's just no money, and our cupboards are showing it now.
I'm so lost. Yes, this IS a recession, and even a family as well off as ours was (although not rich) is feeling it. I'm not whining. I'm just confused. My family is taking me to Newfoundland, where work is slim until the new work is started soon. But my career leaves me here for school, and in Vancouver for work. Newfoundland isn't for me. It's so... in the middle of no where, so naive. |

So the recession finally hit me.
I was laid off on Thursday. Our main customer (Weston's, the company who owns the Superstore franchise) canceled all of their bread tray orders until the spring. Normally we run two machines for them 24 hours, five days a week. Which is the equivalent of 2800 bread trays a DAY, at the cost of $14 per tray.
I'm not really sure what to do lol. I have friends who have been applying to jobs for 3 and 4 months, without so much as a phone call.
I guess it's time to start drawing, taking photos, and making jewelry again.

For most people crushes are often, lust is regular, love is every other relationship.
There's nothing wrong with that, until you fall in love. To be loved is to be respected, to have faith in a person, and to trust them with your life. Love is unexplainable, but easily explained with a simple look, touch, or action.
When you love, the most horrible things can happen, but life goes on, because there's some one to hold you and help you stand tall. When you love, and are loved you are immortal, invincible, immaculate; perfection isn't enough to describe it. And obviously so are they.
When love is true, there are no limits on your soul.
I am twenty years old, and found love at fifteen. It saved me from suicide, pulled me through exams, pushed me to be someone.
Fourteen days before my eighteenth birthday my love was shattered on the floor. Everything I thought I had, melted away before my eyes.
No matter how little or how hard I try to push away from it, the reason I lived is now the very thing that's killing me. There's no escaping it, no changing it, no forgetting. There's no one in this world that can understand my story and why I'm on the path that I am. There's no one willing to hear about it, accept it, and help me replace that broken love with their own love, new and shiny, and ready to make me strong again.
I am broken, you can't fix me, and don't think I haven't tried.
Oceans don't compare to the tears that I have cried.
True love is once in a life time,
and to steal it is a crime.
Love is quite impressionable,
Even if the one is questionable. |
