So the week after I went to Edmonton (my last post) I went back to PG for a few days, if I didn't see you please forgive me it was a pretty quick trip with lots to accomplish. I actually arrived on the saturday but everyone save Jenny and my Parents thought I was comming in Sunday morning. This was all part of my very devious plan to suprise Dustin who claims he is rarely suprised by anything. Jenny picked me up from the bus depot, and hung out with me in Dustins room for an hour waiting for him to come home... finally she gave up, and I phoned him (pretending to be on the bus) wondering when he was going to come home... he was just waiting for a cab, so I made a trail of hugs and kisses (the candy) from the front door to his room... it was awesome, I heard him walk in, stop, rush down the hallway, fumble with the lights, and then just stared at me... he couldn't move or anything. Mission accomplished.<br /><br />That was the begining of my trip, the next day mom and dad picked me up and we went door shopping... I made them dinner, went downtown and hung out with Mel but left my phone in the car, 1 hour 45 minutes later I get a call AT Melissa's from my sister saying Dustin was looking for me... then immediatly afterwards I get a call from my Mother saying she thought I was in a ditch somewhere... so I phone Dustin who ALSO believed I was in a ditch somewhere and was going to go look for me.... This whole time my dad was like "She's just come from living on her own for 6 weeks in Calgary... I'm sure she's fine, just wanted to be alone. If she's in the ditch she knows to call us, if she's in the ditch and CAN"T call us, the RCMP will notify us." Thanks Dad!!! Anyways, its also nice that ppl worry too...<br /><br />Monday was Dustin and mine's Valentines day since I was out of town... I got very spoiled, he got me a white gold heart pendant that is simply gorgeous, and he took me to the White Goose bistro for dinner, where a vase of gorgeous flowers were waiting for me on a candle lit table. Like I said, I was very spoiled.<br /><br />The rest of the week was some good quality time with my dad, talking and playing video games, watchin the begining of movies with my mom and singing and dancing to some country music, movie with Mel, Dr's appointment (apparently I have chronic sinusitis (it sounds so made up) and need to go for a CT Scan to see if I'm a candidate for surgery...) and hangin out with Dustin.<br /><br />Since comming back to Calgary another of my classes has been cancelled. Very frustrating, but inevitable (the professor just underwent major surgery) but this leaves me once again with only 3 classes this next 7 weeks. Now getting my certificate was no longer an option 1 week after arriving here, so the cancellation of one class in ways isn't that big of a deal. The issue was the classes I was left with. Advanced Adobe Photoshop: Looks very promising, learned alot in the first class... however, this class is also VERY teachable from a book... SAIT class $215 Scott Kelby's guid to Photoshop CS3 $52. The otehr two classes were advanced portrait lighting and wedding photography, both with the teacher I had for Portrait lighting... in that class I learned SO much on my first day and then very minimal from there on in... one thing I learned that he made quite obvious was that I suck at posing ppl. Needless to say I wasn't looking forward to that twice a week for 6 weeks...<br /><br />SO! Long story short, (or possibly short story long) I withdrew from my classes, went to Chapters with my Visa and bought some photography books (including Scott Kelby's Adobe Photoshop CS3 book). I was going to stay for the month of March here in Calgary, just cause I have a job here, rents already paid for, and lets face it guys, your weather in PG ain't so great!! Its been +10 daily here for about a week!!! However, the PG Photographic society has a photographer comming in for a seminar on March 12th. Funny story, I have a ticket to see the Calgary Flames on March 10th. SO I'm seeing the Flames on the 10th with some work ppl, then i'm flying home on the 11th, then Nic and I are going to this photography seminar on the 12th... and then I'll have to be finding a new job... again<br /><br />Anyways.... thats pretty well it, I'm only scheduled for 2 shifts next week which really hurts because I'm very bored. However, I've been reading alot, got some ideas for a couple photoshoots will have to wait till I get home so I can actually manipulate light a bit easier (there aren't really any lamps here, and flash isn't always great). Oh, adn one day in the next 10 I'm going to go to the Calgary Zoo!! Its only $16 for the day, adn I"m going to bring my camera and take WAY too many photos!! I'm very excited about this. I also wanted to see the Opera while I was here, but the next one doesn't open till April, and I was goign to see the Ballet, but tickets are $85... maybe if I had a few more shifts next week. <em>Ce la vie. </em>K, with that I will stop boring you and continue with my day... which really has no plans as of yet...Dez Dezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11677523129863968937noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15316252.post-76095621339061846162008-02-11T21:57:00.000-08:002008-02-11T22:22:57.081-08:00EDMONTON!!!!So!

I have an announcement... my little cute sister, Tiffany, just got accepted into a Fashion Design school in Ottawa, only 35 English and 35 French speaking students are selected accross Canada. AND! She got her class 5 license just this week as well!! SHe's getting all growed up on me... I'm so very proud of her :)<br /><br />Now to explain the name... I keep meaning to mention it just cause its a curious thing... about a week or two after moving here, when I turned onto my street and was walking up it to my house, I literally followed a white rabbit home. He was hopping just in front of me, and once I got to my house he took off... it was crazy. And last night when I got home he was sitting in my driveway, and when I got there he went off... I would've followed him, but I am so doggone sick right now. Other crazy things I've seen... a squirrel running along a powerline... weird.<br /><br />Seriously, so sick right now... it started Monday morning, and its gotten worse with every passing day :S and of course I've had to work the past 4 mornings as well... but tomorrow I don't have work or school so its deffinetly a PJ day<br /><br />There isn't really alot to report... my roommate's hockey team won the minors tournament, which is pretty cool!! His g/f bought me flowers, I took some macros of them so they might get up on my DA. AFter winning the game the team came over to the house... there was 30-40 ppl in the house and it didn't quiet down till 5:30 a.m. OR I just passed out (of exhaustion :P) by then...<br /><br />I go to Edmonton this Saturday for Shay's house warming party! Very excited!! AND!! I get in to PG on the 17th at 9:40 a.m.!!! Man these 11 days cannot go by fast enough... I miss Kantana and my family, my friends, and mostly I miss Dustin sooooooo much.<br /><br />Anywyas, thats all for now folks!!Dez Dezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11677523129863968937noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15316252.post-52980319525335321842008-01-28T21:45:00.000-08:002008-01-29T09:12:21.138-08:00The daytime of the night! ;)K, has anyone had frost bite? I have a lump under my eye, that is really itchy right now, and kinda reminds me of a hive, but I was thinking maybe its from the cold, since its the only part of my body that was exposed to the elements today... any thoughts?<br /><br />Anyways, it was -47 with the wind this morning when I walked to work. Hurrah. My legs were SO frozen, it hurt SOOOOO bad... so I bought longjohns to wear under my pants after work, I went to 2 different Marks Work Warehouses, and the 2nd one had only ONE pair of small... and they aren't the waffle iron ones that I wanted, and they really don't help. OR if they do, I dont' want to know how cold I would've been walking to school :S <br /><br />Also, why is it when I leave my home town to live somewhere else for a bit, I experience the most extreme weather... in St. Catharines it was like +39 with the humidity it was +50, and here in Calgary its -38 with with wind its almost -50... In 2 years I've experienced a range of 100'c, crazy!<br /><br />We did the night photography shoot I've been looking forward to since arriving. Some of my work is posted below!

I have an addiction to the Simpsons. I watch them EVERYDAY since arriving. I started at season 4, I'm now on season 9... and after I've watched season 10, its FAMILY GUY!!! Then southpark I suppose.... out of desperation only. That or Seinfeld we've got 9 seasons of that...<br /><br />Right now I'm baking an apple cinnamon coffee cake!! It smells so good!! I'm so excited... probably a better snack than all the fudgesicles I've been eating!!<br /><br />So I kinda tried to get Hypothermia today :D It was fun... except not. I knew it was cold, but didn't think it was that bad and wanted to catch the 6:07 bus, so I grabbed my winter coat and ran outside... wearing naught else but socks, shoes, PJ pants, a tanktop, and a bandana. Waiting for the bus was HELL!! It was -24'c, -38'c with the wind... so I figued I'd take a cab back from the store but the only cab # I know in this city was busy for over 10 mins, so I took the bus home again... by the time I made it to my door my ears were nothing but pain (and I pulled the hood up on my coat) and my fingers stopped working... I've never had so much trouble unlocking and opening a door... *sigh* anyways, I'm all warm now :D Lesson learned. And in my own defence, this is the coldest it's been here since I moved... just yesterday it was +1, and friday it was +3.... stupid Calgary weather.<br /><br />Not a lot else to report. I got my pictures printed for critique on tuesday in Portrait lighting, tomorrow in Basic we're doing a night photoshoot of the city (in a penthouse, so no freezing), and we've started working on a CD cover in Photoshop. I've got the requirments for my portfolio for NIC, so I've slowly started selecting photos for that and such... I should start on the essay soon as well...<br /><br />K, I'm gunna check on that coffee cake!!!Dez Dezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11677523129863968937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15316252.post-55028756051086717832008-01-25T02:28:00.000-08:002008-01-25T02:42:14.103-08:00A Calgary Day in the Life of DezJust an insight to my crazy day today...<br /><br />Woke up at 8, got message from Dustin to call him at work when I woke up, called talked to him for a bit.<br /><br />Was tired, went back to sleep.<br /><br />Woke up later, felt like crap, avoided getting out of bed. After a while, went on computer (still in bed)<br /><br />Finally got up around 2 pm. Breakfast choices, Perogies, Hotdogs, or Eggos. Had some eggos.<br /><br />Watched Simpsons, had shower, did makeup, couldnt' find work shirt, start panicking and throwing everything everywhere. Find it in first place I originally looked, its black, not my fault.<br /><br />Run to bus stop... bus a few minutes late. Get to C-Train, JUST miss train, next one should be 5 mins. 3 Trains come down the other side while I wait for my C-Train.<br /><br />Get on C-Train, get off C-Train, book it across parking lot, arrive at work at exactly 5 o'clock, still have to change shoes.<br /><br />Change shoes, glance at schedule posted on back wall. Do not work today. Work tomorrow... dammit. Confess to management try to see if anyone wants to go home, go back to C-Train.<br /><br />Do some banking, find mall, REAL shopping mall.... doesn't actually have what I want, go to Safeway instead, buy food to expand meal options.<br /><br />Come home, put groceries away, change into comfy clothes, sit down with laptop in front of TV preparing for relaxing night.<br /><br />Roomate comes home slightly tipsy with tipsy friends. Drinking ensues, plan later to go to bar. More friends arrive.<br /><br />One guy overly drunk, annoying, spilling, stumbling. Blah.<br /><br />Make friends with one of roommate's friends g/fs. Talk about school, show her pictures. Somehow I am convinced to go to bar.<br /><br />Call cab for drunk guy. Drunk guy gets in cab, then out and comes back to house, cab drives away.<br /><br />Call another cab, one for all of us so we can go to bar, and take drunk guy home. Drunk guy decides to walk home before cabs arrive.<br /><br />Cabs arrive, we get 2 houses down and see drunk guy lying on the side of the road bleeding. Stop, look at him, nose appears broken, shove him in one cab and he is taken home.<br /><br />Arrive at bar, which is one of 2 bars located INSIDE the University of Alberta. Know the bouncer, went to highschool with him... random.<br /><br />Stay for a while, get bored and sleepy, catch ride home with one of roommate's friends. Stop at Wendy's first, get frosty!<br /><br />Get home, phone Dustin to inform him of my survival of going to the bar. Doorbell rings. Drunk guy's parents. Hang up on Dustin. GIve parents lowdown, send them off.<br /><br />Phone Dustin back. Chat for while, very nice. Watch episode of Simpsons, then plan to go to bed.<br /><br />About to brush teeth, hear roommate come in complaining. It is not roommate. Is drunk roommates assistant hockey coach. Hockey coach got into a fight at the bar and was given a ride home with teh police.<br /><br />5 minutes later, roommate and head coach show up. Tell me the nights story, confirm happenings with drunk guy. Much drunken rambling continues.<br /><br />Post on blog, going to go to sleep.Dez Dezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11677523129863968937noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15316252.post-53549004243410093602008-01-16T21:37:00.000-08:002008-01-16T21:57:49.322-08:00What a day, what a day!"I don't live life, I tolerate it" Brad Zimmerman<br /><br />Really, looking on today, just nuts!! It was already supposed to be a busy fun filled day!!<br />Get up, do some pilates, stretch, do some laundry, have breakfast, go tanning, move laundry, shower, go pick up ticket for George Carlin, take a picture of SAIT building, go to bank to deposit paycheck, go grocery shopping, put groceries away, go to school, go to George Carlin, go to bed!!! That was the just the PLAN for the day... heres how it actually went.<br /><br />Wake up to Peter's alarm... it doesn't stop. Fall back asleep incorporate alarm into dream. Wake up again, its still going, get up go turn it off... lie in bed listening to music, get up, pilates, stretch, put the laundry in, have breakfast, procrastinate, go tanning, come home and go to change laundry, basement completly flooded... figure washing machine was leaking and not hooked up or something, so I start bailing the water into a mop bucket, empty mop bucket in kitchen sink, do this 5 times and realize water level NOT going down, am now running late, write Peter a note explaining, whip over to Jubilee to pick up ticket, doors from ACAD are locked... get instructions from someone else on how to get into the building. Those doors also locked... want to cry, only have 1/2 hour to pick up tickets, find someone else who directs me to the other side of the building, tell ticket lady my name and give her my ID, she informs me I need my confirmation # which I don't have... panic, start rapidly thinking how I could get access to my hotmail account in next 20 mins, lady likes my name and prints ticket w/o confirmation #. Find CIBC deposit cheque, get home, apparently roots grew into the main drain and blocked it off, cost Peter over $300... feel better knowing its not my fault, however still running late, figure I have enough time for shower since hair is greasy and I feel icky, no hot water (discovered after removing all clothing and standing in shower) get dressed, do make up, try and do hair, fly out the door, just miss the bus... randomly another was right behind it, catch it, go to class, class bores me, then when I get the handouts for the part I'm missing I discover its GOING to get interessting after I leave...<br /><br />Get to the Jubilee to watch George Carlin... it was excellent! Brad (or Doug, cna't remember now) Zimmerman opened for him, he was (or claims) to have been a waiter for 25 years... SO funny! And SO true, and gave me some TERRIBLE ideas... may I not have a weak moment and use some of his material in the first couple weeks of my new job :S but in my last couple weeks... bring it on :D And then George came on!! I will admit now, after seeing his most recent DVD I was a little concerned about this $75 show b/c the DVD was so depressing adn I actually fell asleep while watching it :S But there was nothing to worry about. He actually did the bit he's goign to do for his 15th HBO special this March 1st. He's 70 years old now, which he likes to think of as 69 with a finger up his ass... but it was great, I laughed a tonne, approved of arguments he brought up about his country and the way the world is going... it was really great, I'm so glad I went!!! Was worth the trials of the day. And now I"m home, posting on my blog waiting for my pizza to get here.<br /><br />OH! Just a quick note on the Jubilee, it is a gorgeous classy theatre. All the "refreshment stands" were selling wine, beer, highballs, specialty coffee (I'm in alberta, can you tell?) and it was just really nice. Also, rich ppl are terrible... now this is kinda an overstatement, but our tickets said the show started at 8pm and we were unaware of an opening act... from what I could tell by 7:50ish the balcony's were all full, nosebleeds were ready to see George, at 8:00 the ppl in the VERY front rows were still wandering in!! Wtf mate?!!? Also, forgot to mention, being a single helps. In talking to ppl around me I gathered that I bought my ticket after them, but had a better seat than them... the rows are 11 across but b/c most ppl come in couples that leaves an empty seat on the end that keeps getting skipped as ppl buy in pairs. There were only 4 rows between me and the stage, the guy directly in front of me, there on his own, the guy directly behind me, there on his own, to our rights, couples. We were to the far left, but still good seats... of course the 6'4" couple had to sit in front of me and keep their heads together all cuddle like all ngiht, but I managed to lean enough to see well all night. Anwyays, I should post this and go wait anxiously for pizza!!! G'night to y'all!Dez Dezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11677523129863968937noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15316252.post-19705413785142391452008-01-11T16:27:00.000-08:002008-01-11T17:28:04.620-08:00I like the ones who help me less...So, in the news of the day of Dezeray... I got the job at Boston Pizza, I start tomorrow at 3:30, paperwork, then expoing so I understand how this specific Boston Pizza operates. Sounds like sections are no more than 4 or 5 tables on weekend dinner rushes, this location has a lounge, and it isn't seniority based either, you get in the lounge based on how good of a server you are. Also, all kitchen staff is great apparently!! According to the GM, the staff all has a great attitude and "punks" with an "I do'nt care about my job attitude" don't exist. Hurrah!!!<br /><br />Also, I believe I've complained about ppl being mean here... well today I was looking at some moisturizing lotion b/c it is SO ridiculously dry here. Anwyays, while I'm looking at the moisturizing cream, this lady walking by informs me that the lotion I'm looking at is great. Cool. Then she continued saying it wasn't a face moisturizer, and how oil of olay was a really good product, but if she were me she'd head to London Drugs, they probably have a special on, and I should be using a night moisturizer, and its very important to clean your face at night... o...m...g... it went on... I finally managed to put down the lotion and escape... and THEN walking home, I saw her in the parking lot... but I managed to put my head down and keep walking.<br /><br />Um... yup... got home, made dinner... it was good. Yup. I'm now watching TV... might do some reading, and have a bath. Thank god I'm starting work tomorrow.Dez Dezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11677523129863968937noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15316252.post-57662215638977525642008-01-10T20:14:00.000-08:002008-01-10T20:32:50.991-08:00I'm going to miss you like a child misses his blanket...<div align="left">So the resolution to the time conflict was for them to give me my money back for intermediate photography... for the record they havne't done it yet, but its only been two days.</div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">I have a job interview at Boston Pizza tomorrow... woot.</div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">K, I just wrote like, 6 e-mails all of them kinda saying the same thing, so you guys get the real boiled down version.

In the midst of watching mindless TV I learned something!!! I learned all about the Red Breasted Nuthatch, and how it can hop <em>down </em>trees, and lives in coniferous trees... yes my life is temporarily sad.<br /><br />Atm I'm watching The Simpsons, earlier I was watching Family Guy. Oh, I wandered the opposite direction today, found a Riverstone Pub, and a tanning salon. At this tanning salon you have to have your own eye protection, fair enough, and the ones I bought are pretty cool, they're just 2 seperate pieces, AND having lotion is <em>highly </em>recommended. Its because Calgary is sooooooo dry, and apparently dry skin doesn't tan. Anyways, I have noticed since arriving my skin getting drier and drier.<br /><br />I also reheated leftover pasta and added chicken and peas, scrubbed my face, put on a face mask, pumiced my feet... yup.<br /><br />SO! About the title!!! I have this talent for meeting parents in the most awkward way possible... allow me to add a new one to the pile. This morning (11 a.m.) I hear the doorbell ring... now I"m only just waking up, and figure Peter will get it. A minute or 2 later it rings again, so this time I actually haul my sleeping body out of bed to open the door... I'm in my PJs, my hair is smushed off to one side, and what little makeup I have on is smudged. I open the door.... and get to introduce myself to Peter (my roommate's) dad. He looked pretty shocked... very entertaining.<br /><br />Anyways... yup, thats my day! OH right! SO! I have a scheduling conflict with school... one that never originally existed. See they resent me my class schedule in December, but it looked the same, so I thought nothing of it... closely examining it today I observed the switched my intermediate photography class from thursday to tuesday, so its at the exact same time as my portrait photography class. Anyways, I wont' go into the details now, I'll fill you in after I talk to someone at SAIT on monday... tomorrow I'm going to buy more food!! And take the CTrain to the library... or something.<br /><br />Ok, i'm going to entertain myself for another hour or two, then bed... maybe i'll unload the dishwasher...Dez Dezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11677523129863968937noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15316252.post-79351292041002311712008-01-04T21:47:00.000-08:002008-01-04T22:07:44.617-08:00In a mad world only the mad are sane.Aaaaaaaamen! Cause I'm going nuts... NUTS!! I did my NAILS tonight!! Me!<br /><br />So yes... tdoay... I hardly slept cause it was SO cold!! So I drug myself outa bed about 12 hours after crawling in it, made a minipizza for breakfast (the roommate said I could have w/e I wanted in the fridge) had a shower, and set out to find food!!! Its pretty nice, I'm about a 10-15 min walk from a mall... tho its one of the more messed up malls I've been to... theres a cluster of businesses here... and another cluster across the parking lot, and another on the other side... and some more across that road... but its all "one mall" and some signs at the mall entrances are talking about businesses on the opposite side from that sign... but ya, found a "Linens and Things" where I purchased a blanket... it was marked 34.99, the cheapest I could find, cool, w/e, <em>apparently </em>it was originally 79.99 on sale for 34.99... whoa. Seriously, i wouldn't of paid that, its not that great. Then it was off to Safeway to deal with grumpy ppl practically shoving me outa the way to get food, and then me shelling out way too much money for such little food... I'm probably going to end up going back on Sunday to get through the week... so expensive. But I did earn airmiles :D Cabbed er home, unloaded groceries, made lunch. Watched bad TV. Listened to music.<br /><br />THEN! I had a cookie fiasco... I love baking. I'm good at it. I bought some premixed Chocolate chip cookie dough crap so I could make cookies w/o buying 12 ingredients. O... m... g... apparently I need to make tehm from scratch, it was aweful. The dough turned out fine, put them on my aluminum cookie sheet I bought for $2 (Peter has only lived here about 1 1/2 months, so he's lacking MANY cooking things) but the oven door shut on my arm when I went to put the cookies in the oven, shifting cookies and wrinkling my sheet... then they all expanded into one cookie, so I had to cut squares out of them... the 2nd batch I put in turned out better, but there were only 3 cookies... seriously, worst cookies I've ever made.<br /><br />Then the roommate made some tortellini with cheese sauce and shared it with me. Very nice. We watched more bad TV, he left, I watched TV some more, did my nails, wrote a letter, then he came back with his friends and we watched Waiting, and now they're gone again and here I are. But I think I need bed soon... what else could I possibly do?!!? lol!! Sorry about the horribly boring post, welcome to my day :P OH! I was so excited, the bookstore is open tomorrow so I was going to go buy my software, but to get software you need your student ID which you can get at the campus centre which ISN"T open on saturday... *grumble grumble*<br /><br />Don't get used to me posting this often, it will peter off once I get a life.Dez Dezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11677523129863968937noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15316252.post-82324428809576612002008-01-03T19:06:00.000-08:002008-01-03T19:19:13.233-08:00Alive, free, exhausted.Well, I've arrived in Calgary at my new place of residence safe, sound, and exhausted. There isn't really alot to tell... the plane was really like a can of sardines, but I survived. The taxi driver was really nice :)<br /><div></div><br /><div>The roommate seems pretty cool... reminds me of the lawyer off Idiocricy, but he's friendly and easy going, I'm just going to be a little starved for some After I unpacked we sat around watching The Simpsons. He's at hockey now so I've got the house to myself... which is less odd now than when I arrived earlier and noone was home. But its cool, my rooms all setup, which is good, but i'm way to tired to explore the area. Tomorrow I'll find out about bus routes, and go grocery shopping and other such things.</div><br /><div></div><div>Ok, I really don't have much more to say... lets face it, I'm beat, but here are some pictures of my room after I got it all setup... taken from my cellphone.

I'm so freaking excited, and terrified, and happy, and sad, and BLAH!!! Emotional overload...<br /><br />Of course, one of those emotions is panic from not being ready. Now I am posting off my parents computer, since mine is packed, and technically most of my things are packed... the issue? There are things that need to be packed still and no room :S so At some point in the next 26 hours I will be unpacking adn repacking... should be fun!!! Not only do I need to accomplish that, I need to see my dad's family to deliver family portraits, hang out with Mel and Becca, clean my car, clean my room, go to the bank, hang out with my mom, have drinks with Jodie adn Darren, give Steph her bday present, wish Ashley a happy birthday, spend the night at Dustin's, have breakfast with him, oh, and have breakfast today (I'm heating up leftover salmon, and following it up with cheesecake)!!! Wow, too much info for anyone!!<br /><br />As for my christmas, most excellent! Busy, but I got to spend the morning with my parents and sister, and the late evening with Dustin and his sister and her fiance. Easily the begining and the end were the best b/c I spent it with people I love... the middle just existed! lol!!<br /><br />New Years you say? It was pretty good... Didn't make it to Bryans, TRIED to go to Brendan's, however I wasn't quite sure which house it was since it has been 3 years since I dropped my sister off at Mike's, but I knew the general area and decided to phone upon my arrival... well due to getting a new cell phone, apparently I only have Nic's cell phone who happened to turn off his phone prior to my calling... so then I head to Melissa, watched the end of Robinhood Men in Tights, and the begining of 300, then back to Dustin's I went. It was just me him and his good friend Rowan, and it was fun. We sat b/s'n, watched YouTube videos, I had a headache at the begining of the night that was getting worse as the night went by, we did the countdown, had a glass of bubbly, then Dez abandoned the boys for relief of the headache, hoping for sleep. The morning was awesome tho... we didn't get out of bed till 2 p.m. just lay there talking, cuddling, Dustin made me breakfast and brought it to me in bed. It was awesome!!!<br /><br />I apologize to anyone I didnt' really get to say goodbye to... leaving right after the holidays is tough cause you just don't have time. But I should be home for a few days at the end of February (and seriously, WHY is there a silent "r" in February?) and I'll be back to PG for the summer at least at the end of April!! Take care everyone, next time I'll post will be from Calgary :DDez Dezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11677523129863968937noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15316252.post-31433551968367278312007-12-22T13:05:00.000-08:002007-12-22T13:58:56.594-08:00Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells!!Well, Dez has been a busy girl!!! Working a fair amount (at least 5 days a week, when did that start happening?!?!), spending a decent amount of time with Dustin, trying to run around catching up with friends, sleeping, and of course procrastinating actually getting ready to leave!!!<br />We'll start with Calgary... I leave in a very quickly approaching 12 days, I have not packed, I have hardly thought about packing. And, my last day at BP is actually xmas eve, so just 3 more days of that left to!!<br /><br />And can anyone believe how soon till Christmas?!?! I still have to pick up a couple things and have not even CONSIDERED wrapping... I'm good at this procrastinating thing :D<br /><br />Now I generally avoid talking about my relationships on my blog, but I"m briefly going to touch on it. Things with Dustin are going GREAT :D:D:D Sorry, just so happy with him I feel the need to tell everyone... he's so wonderful, especially to me!!<br /><br />So I'm NEARLY healthy again... still coughing horribly, and my ears tend to feel like they're going to pop out of my head, but I feel less bad!! Also, when I was feeling really not good on Monday, Dustin ran over to the store on his break and bought me a "get well card" and a packet of Rollos (my fave :D), now thats a cute story in itself, but I'm mentioning it b/c of what the card says. On the outside its a picture of 2 monkey's faces, and on the inside it says:<br /><br />"Mama called the Dr, and the Dr said<br />If chicken soup don't work, try straight up Gin instead"<br /><br />Happy, no?<br /><br />Wednesday was an unexpected night of fun!! I got a semi drunk phone call from Mr Chris, inviting me to come party at his place, but they went to the Riverstone Bar and Grill first, (a place had at this point not yet visited), so off I went to join him, Stan, Robbie, and Nicole!! It was great amounts of fun, we compared ringtones, talked about cannibalism, and the deffinition of gay!!!<br /><br /><div align="center"></div><div align="center">Now, the most exciting part of my week, and the reason I'm posting today... thursday we went for a SLEIGH RIDE!!!!!!! It was most excellent!!

I have secured a place to live in Calgary, I just have to sign and fax back the Rental Agreement, and e-mail them my damage deposit. Its a room in a house. The owner is a 20 year old guy named Peter, he's an apprentice electrician, plays hockey, etc. Also, he has another room for rent, and a different girl from BC might be moving in, so it should be good times all around!! Btw, I leave for Calgary in precisely 22 days and 21 hours 20 mins. Crazy time sequence.<br /><br />Its funny... I say things are going great, if you ask me, I'll say things are going great, but I'm not sure how. Really excited, yet scared about leaving, I hate my job atm. Like seriously. The only thing getting me through is thinking to myself, "Just two more weeks, two more weeks". The fan in my car is broken so I not only have no heat, but I get to drive with the windows down so I don't fog up... But things are great. I think. Lol.<br /><br /><br />I've started my Christmas shopping, which is good... I'm actually struggling with what to buy ppl, its kinda annoying. But i've got some ideas, so ya, thats good. I'm rambling. I apologize.<br /><br /><br />Hoping to go see Golden Compass tomorrow, and I went and saw August Rush with Dustin on Saturday, it was alright, but disapointing, I was expecting something better. Music was cool tho.<br /><br />Anywyas, I should end this rambling post and go clean the stalls!Dez Dezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11677523129863968937noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15316252.post-82853359755820955332007-11-23T12:59:00.000-08:002007-11-23T13:26:09.791-08:00Thank you!!!<div>Well, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who came out on Wednesday!!

So, Dustin and myself arrive a fashionable 15 mins late, naturally. ANd then Dez starts with the Double Daquiris... (again) of cours,e I also haven't eaten since 10 a.m... nice! So before we even get dinner i'm stuttering drunk, but happy. It was really just great to sit and chat with everyone, tho I was pretty flitty going from one person to the next... it was really a great time. </div><div></div><div><br /></div><div>Also, before dinner, I got my hair and nails done!!

I initially didn't want to go out for my birthday, but I also don't think its horribly healthy to sit at home with a bottle of wine and cry all night... so out we shall go!!! LoL!!! Just sending this e-mail to get a feel for who would want to come out to maybe Kelly O's on next Wednesday, say 7 p.m. or so... or if Thursday works better for people, maybe we shall go out thursday. Sorry to those of you who got the e-mail AND read my blog.... Anyways, if y'all could RVSP ASAP so I know whether or not to make reso's, that would be excellent. And then maybe dancing or video games after dinner is in order... all thoughts welcome.

And on DA I found this picture that really just inspired me, so I wanted to share it with everyone else :)<br /><br /><a href="http://cenumesimplu.deviantart.com/art/Do-not-believe-me-54327891">http://cenumesimplu.deviantart.com/art/Do-not-believe-me-54327891</a><br /><br />And then I read a really funny choke that made me chuckle!<br /><br />An affluent couple gets into an argument over dinner.<br /><br />"If you could cook," said the husband, "we could fire the chef."<br /><br />"If you could screw," replied the wife, "we could fire the driver."<br /><br />Sweet dreams everyone!!<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5173005888689040706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2YjehZEN9hZvxrv4Q81OH8RcPFEDCr1dQXKBsNurMifyaXBp5cYC70IN5adlUpfSCKGomnH4duXLNysN-_t4sr7mJctDUozs70WXyjzNETgnQmQHS038bznzQzpQ_CbKorOpl/s320/DSC_1610.jpg" border="0" />Dez Dezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11677523129863968937noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15316252.post-29928781373418269312007-10-27T04:02:00.000-07:002007-10-27T04:03:30.372-07:00Why Halloween Is Better Than Sex10. You're guaranteed to get at least a little something in the sack.<br /><br />9. If you get tired, wait 10 minutes and go at it again.<br /><br />8. The uglier you look, the easier it is to get some.<br /><br />7. You don't have to compliment the person who gave you candy.<br /><br />6. The person you're with doesn't fantasize you're someone else.<br /><br />5. If you get a stomachache, it won't last 9 months.<br /><br />4. If you wear your Batman mask, no one thinks you're kinky.<br /><br />3. It doesn't matter if kids hear you moaning and groaning.<br /><br />2. You have less guilt the next morning.<br /><br />1.

First off, the most recent and most exciting... I got tickets to a show the 2nd week I'm in Calgary... no... not country music... you might as well give up... you can't guess... its... GEORGE CARLIN!!! I got tickets on the main floor, row 15, January 16th 8:00pm for George Fucking Carlin in Calgary AB. I have to miss an Adobe Photoshop class, but I'm sure it'll be worth it.<br /><br />Also, as we all know I can't eat icecream, so I figured I'd replace it with Sherbet... Nope, that has milk to!!! So i'm stuck with Stupid store brand Gelato... which isn't bad, but more expensive than sherbet and I like the texture of sherbet better!<br /><br />Now!! Halloween... like every otehr weekend, I close both friday and saturday this weekend, HOWEVER, I have Wednesday off!!! So... if anyone has plans for the actual halloween night that you feel like including me in... well you know what to do :P<br /><br />And now that i've cut dairy out of my diet, less acne!! Hurray... oh except its being followed up with something that reminds me of exema (sp?). I (for the first time in my life) have dry scaley patches of skin?!? Wtf?!?!? Scales or zits, is this really a choice I have to make?!?!<br /><br />Randomness, I made an awesome dinner tonight consisting off marinated pork chops with grilled pineapple, cornmeal muffins and green beans!!!<br /><br />9 weeks 6 days till I leave!Dez Dezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11677523129863968937noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15316252.post-59861817919864062982007-10-23T14:22:00.000-07:002007-10-23T14:36:14.465-07:00The countdown that is my life.So I have all these things in my life that are ABOUT to happen.<br /><br />1 week: 2 midterms, start a photography course at UNBC, halloween<br /><br />3 weeks: Confessor, the last book of Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind comes out<br /><br />4 weeks: My birthday, and consequently my coworker Rory's as well<br /><br />5 weeks: Paul Brandt<br /><br />7 weeks: Last photography class, Jenny's bday<br /><br />8 weeks: Becca's bday<br /><br />9 weeks: Christmas<br /><br />10 weeks: Leave Calgary!!<br /><br />Other than all that stuff, I'm actually going to take the time to just relax and hang out like I have been the past couple weeks. Its nice to just take life as it comes, day by day, but still have a plan.<br /><br />Alright, now I know most of you who read this know I"m a walking calamity, but I'm going to share my recent injuries anyways. The phone was for my dad who was working outside so I grabbed the cordless and ran out in my barefeet. Now winter is approaching and its getting cold, so by the time I make it back to the house my feet are numb, and I stub my baby toe on the metal grate in front of the door. It freakin hurts, but I figure cause its numb. I look down and what do I spy... a pool of blood gushing from my toe. I managed to remove the nail and split open the end of my toe just by stubbing it. So the next night at work I have a table of 20, not a big deal, their food comes up and I start running it. Near the end, only had 6 meals left, I'm carrying 3, and drop them. Not sure how, they just FALL. And, I'm bleeding. Somehow by dropping 3 plates of food, i cut my index finger. Its just a little cut but really fucking deep!!! So not cool. Such a walking calamity.<br /><br />Thats really all thats new in the world of Dez. Hope you Vancouverites are well, and as for the Prince Georgians, I'll be seeing you!<br /><br />PS, check out my DA site, on my profile is an awesome picture of me and Steph!!Dez Dezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11677523129863968937noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15316252.post-73940651346449942262007-10-15T14:03:00.000-07:002007-10-15T14:39:42.336-07:00I may hate myself in the morning, but I'm going to love you tonight.<div><div> </div><div>So in happy happy news, I got Fred back!!! He's all fixed and ready to jump into action again!!! Also, my car, entirely clean and has remained that way just over 2 weeks. And even crazier, my bedroom is entirley clean (i'm actually sitting at my desk atm) and has remained this way for over 3 days!!! Praise me!!!!<br /><br />So in SAIT news, I can't actually stay in Res b/c I'm not enrolled in a "full time program" so I'm looking into off campus housing which actually seems to be a better deal. It also looks like I will only be gone approx 4 months. First day of classes is January 7, and last day is April 15, so not bad for 8 differenty classes!!<br /><br />Continuing with photography school news, November 1st I start a photography class here in town!!! Very excited, makes for long thursdays; first class at 12:30, last class ends at 8:30, but it should be good!!! Very excited to learn, and improve.<br /><br />Bah, blogger sucks. I was going to tell a story about my saturday night at work using pictures, but I can't upload them... suffice to say Steve was being creative and we all had to much time on our hands, pictures to come :)<br /><br />Untill then, I should get started on that Law assignment.
