The idea only occurred to me after finding that the best way to pass time at my increasingly dull retail post, is to skulk the internet and lurk people who I wish I new better. I especially like reading ones that mention boys I have crushes on.
This past week has been something of a regression. You see, September 1st marked the beginning of my supposed independence as a young adult. I moved into an apartment in the West End of Vancouver, admittedly, not a huge leap from my parents' West Vancouver abode. Up until recently I hadn't encountered any serious problems with the place, but this all changed when I got bed bugs. Say what you will about cleanliness, but those insects are basically the real estate equivalent of the Clap in the West End. I haven't a clue how they came about infesting my place, I can only venture to blame my promiscuity and penchant for boys who live in Studios/Warehouses... or possibly the bugs' recent appearance in a neighboring apartment (most rational, least incriminating explanation). Regardless of how you swing it, they are there. I've had the place fumigated and now all that rests is to get it done for the second time and wait it out as painlessly as possible. I'm lucky that i've been able to stay at my parents' house. Its been pleasant, cost efficient, and sort of seasonally appropriate. That being said, its now sunday afternoon, I'm hung over, its snowing, I'm basically on a mountain, and as we approach my second week of guest room residency I'm beginning to feel the cabin fever encroaching. Which I guess takes us full circle to explain precisely why I'm starting this blog.
I'm really into the idea hibernating this winter out. Focus on personal projects, make crafts, party less, sleep more, become more emotionally stable, do well in school this coming semester, and fall in love.
None of these things will realistically happen. In fact, its more likely that I'll grow increasingly depressed, develop a coke habit, produce nothing of value or artistic merit, sleep around, and put on ten pounds (thanks mom). However, to my credit, I knit a pretty nifty scarf yesterday. I'm really attracted to obscenely large winter accessories.
This is a picture of my sister wearing the scarf I knit.

It's 2am on Friday and I came home from a party because I just felt blah and uninspired and figured I'd be more entertained at home alone than where I was. And somehow I came across your blog and was delighted. You're entertaining and you write really well. I'm happy and relieved to find that there are some cool girls out there that I kind of 'get'. Thanks for making my Friday night not a total waste:)
