Pre-Midnight Post Party

It's only just after 11pm and I'm already winding down.. Which is good. Need more sleep. I suppose having to wake up at 8am this morning to get Ziggy down to Langley would have something to do with being tired now..

That was the majority of my day. Cruising around in the grey and rain (fuck you blogger spellcheck, that's how you spell grey) getting maintenance done first.. That was actually pretty nice. I mean I had two hours to kill so I just walked to Willowbrook Mall, browsed around a bit and then just sat in the foot court eating A&W burgers for 2 hours while I read my book.

I drove right back into town to my autoplan insurance place thing.. Did a really crappy parking job and adjusted a few insurance things and headed home. Oh I forgot - I was going to treat myself at the end of this month. I thought of either buying some Arrested Development DVDs (god I love that show. i feel crappy, watch it, get cured) or a new camera bag. Turns out the camera bag is going to come later for several reasons.. And instead of DVDs I decided to invest in a good photography handbook that I've been reading tonight. (While watching Arrested Development, ironically enough)

On Wednesday I'm meeting dad and Leanne to discuss the whole saving/investing/financial future business. I'm actually pretty excited about it all. I won't be able to save much at first, but every little bit will add up and with good returns of interest, it'll eventually grow exponentially. Yay moneyz.

Besides that, I just gotta keep working hard, get my mind off womenz, get my mind on photography, and save money. I did a good job with my money this month, being able to modestly accommodate a $230 maintenance bill today, and paying back $200 of my debt to mum. Must keep going with that.

I'll be looking to build a portraiture portfolio soon. I think that business I keep meaning to start is actually getting closer to fruition. According to what I'm reading, going into business for yourself and manufacturing a product that you sell directly = money. Not easy money, but money.

Headshots mostly, to start. If you're reading this and want headshots, let me know. Actually I don't care, book a time with me anyway, I could use the practice whether anyone uses the shots or not.

In a month from now I'll be getting ready to make the move downtown and 25 stories up in the air. I'm a little scared about it (zomg what if i roll outta bed and fall out the window etc etc) but more than anything I'm excited. Nervous, and excited.

And now my roommates are in the bathroom together again talking.. With the shower running.

One of the cats is in there too. Jesus.

What The Hell!

Honestly, never any energy to get shit done and get active until it's late at night! What's with that?!

So this is the view I'll be enjoying at the beginning of June. That's when I take over Kilian's room in his apartment, 25 floors up in the heart of downtown for less money than I'm paying now. I really can't wait, and honestly I'm not even going to get my hopes up of it really happening until it happens.

It's not too good to be true though, fact is, it's the smallest of the small apartments. Imagine.. A very small two bedroom apartment, with a little den and the living room. I get one bedroom, someone else sleeps in the other bedroom, the den is another person's bedroom and the living room is curtained off for yet another bedroom. My room will be tiny too, I won't be able to fit most of my furniture in there.

I don't really care though. I'll be downtown.

As I've been telling people, money has been good to me lately. Not like zomg I'm rich, far from it - I'm just making good money for the first time in my life, and I want to keep it up. It's nice to actually save money, instead of just slowly lose it as I did for most of the past 2 years. Some of those savings will go to fun times this summer, driving to Castlegar, Calgary and possibly Edmonton too.

I'm not in the best of moods right now. I thought writing would distract me, but it isn't. At least the new B-52's song is awesome. I'm still getting over a lot of things that have happened recently, I keep telling myself I should already *be* over everything, but I just ain't. I'm getting there though.

These past two days have just been me holed up in my room, recovering from a horrible stomach bug. That was such an awful night. Got home from a 15-hour shift at 2am, felt sick to my stomach all night, couldn't sleep for all the pain I was in and was absolutely freezing cold, shivering violently. Finally slept at around 7am and I've been trying to bounce back from that episode since.

Of course it's been beautiful out while I've been trying to get my head back on straight..

I think I just need to get back to focusing on work. It seems to be the only thing that keeps me sane these days.

C.H.

God help me I need to get better sleeping habits. I just can't seem to help cruising easily through the day and then getting all my creative juices flowing at 2am. You can set your watch to it.

So I'm not sure of this apartment deal - I still can't get a hold of Kilian's landlord, Ricky, despite leaving 2 voicemails. I'll try again tomorrow. I'm also kinda getting cold feet because of the incredibly tiny space.. But honestly, if I have to lose some furniture I don't think I'll miss it. Especially once I can finance my laptop.

I had an impromptu lunch with dad and Leanne today, it was really awesome actually. I think I just really like talking about myself a lot.

I'm going to start a very daunting project soon. Like.. Tomorrow. Tomorrow, of course.. Technically being today. If I go to sleep now that's still over an hour sooner than last night. Hooray.

I really want and need to use my camera more.

No more tomorrow what I did all day today, and yesterday. Gotta give the lenses some love.

And good god why does my creativity peak at 2am?

Coming Soon!

"The pros and cons of moving into Kilian's apartment."

But for now, must go to work and hopefully make it through Saturday night food running.
