How many more times can I say.."damn, it's been forever!!" ??

I do have a valid excuse this time though. I swear!!

I've been one busy bunny rabbit...

I may have mentioned going to school, I KNOW I discussed my need to not live in California anymore. Well, I finally managed to make some of that stuff happen. It was all happened very quickly, which is part of the reason I haven't been writing like I've wanted to.

I went on a mini-vacation back in early June, going through California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and ending in Nebraska. It was not only a vacation that sent me on this trip, but checking out the possibility of starting school again finally. After speaking to the admittance people here, and financial aid, they informed me that if I could get back here to Omaha, they could have me starting school in the next quarter, which was a week and a half away. So after having a discussion with my father upon my return to California, he said he would help me financially by loaning me the money to get back out here and start school right away.

So here I am.

No longer (very happily) in California, my new area of residence is Omaha, Nebraska. I really like it here a lot. I could do without the constant humidity, but other than that, it's great!!! I'm back in a place where people are friendly, it's not completely overcrowded or unnecessarily expensive, and I'm back in school, which is the most important thing right now. School is fantastic, it's been a lot easier to fall back into it than I thought it would be, and I have the straight A's this quarter to prove it. Thanks to that, I get to take more classes next quarter, which will set me on track for early graduation, assuming I maintain my GPA (which I will). Why do I want to graduate early you may ask? That would be because I intend to join the Army right after graduation. Everyone was hoping I had given up on that, but man, are they in for a rude surprise. I live my life for no one but myself, and I look for no one's approval in the choices I make for myself. I have the support from the one I feel I need to have it from, and that's all that counts.

So for the most part, things are going pretty well, and very much looking up, especially considering where things were just a few months ago. They will continue, because I will accept nothing less, I'm just stubborn that way.

Now if I can just get my father to hurry the hell up and ship my computer out here for me, I can start writing daily again. For now it will still be a bit sporadic, as my only computer access is at school (I'm supposed to be finishing homework right now >.<), but I will be writing again, because I actually have motivation to do so, without too much whiny bullshit.

It is good to be back >:)

Well, I went on vacation, and it was glorious!! The best thing about it is I managed to get myself checked into school, which I start in a week and a half.  Another bonus is I FINALLY get to move out of California...YAY ME!!!! :D  That of course couples with the fact that I get to quit working at McDonald's, which is the best thing ever as far as I'm concerned.

I am actually going to have a life again...what a concept.

Why can't it be vacation time yet? Probably because I want to go so very badly. I'm traveling to Washington in just a couple of days for my sister's wedding, which I'm extremely excited about. Not only because I get to see lots of family I haven't seen in a while, but because I will be going "home" for a few days.

Then back here to California, back to the hell that is my job...*sigh* What can I do though? No working = no money to move away from here. In two more weeks though, my real vacation starts. Granted, I have other things to be taken care of on said vacation, but mostly it will be very relaxing, which I'm glad about. Some free uninterrupted time is the bonus.

Almost makes me wish for a time machine or something. ;)

Soooooo busy....

It's all for a good cause though, which would be to help me move away from California...FINALLY!! I've talked about it often on this blog, over at least the last year and a half.  I probably could have been gone by now if I had tried just a bit harder, but I tend to take on obligations that are not really mine to take, which always further delay me from leaving here.

That time is officially over.

I have (and will be doing again when I'm done writing this) been putting in many online applications over the last two days, and will be calling everyone I put applications in with within the next few days to make sure they were received. Also, since I wasn't able to turn them in myself, I want them to know just how serious I am about wanting to get hired. Hell, if I'm lucky, I may be able to get myself two jobs!!

Also have to return emails about making appointments to view apartments, something I haven't done in seemingly forever. I've been living what most would deem a "bohemian" lifestyle, but I quite enjoy it.  It's been nice having good friends for roommates, having people who actually care about your well-being and such.  I've been missing out on that the last four years I've been in California, even though I won't have roommates when I leave here. It's because I have a boyfriend, who like me appreciates our privacy, and the only way to maintain that is by not living with anyone else.  It could change though, as I have a couple of friends who have talked about moving to where I am if they like it when they come to visit. They know and respect the fact that my privacy is a factor in this, so I'm not worried.

We are all quite over living in California.

Well, back to work on this, more news at it happens. XD

Fuck sakes, it's been a long damn time since I was here last...*sighs* -.-

Oh well I guess.

I'm in one of my "music" moods, which is why I'm here posting now, but it's been a while, and I enjoy sharing what I listen to, so here goes...


Pepper Sands, one of many indie Canadian bands I love, and one I've gone out of my way to see many times, they are great live.


I absolutely love this band, and was extremely disappointed when they broke up in 2007. Dammit lol Still listen to what I have quite often though, seen them live a couple of times (shoulda been three -.-), and they were one of the most FUN bands I've seen.

Just to clear it up real quick, and to save time...this music posting is STRICTLY some of my favorite Canadian music ;)

NEXT!!!


Ahhh, Three Days Grace, so fucking awesome. Saw them play once, about two weeks before the first album. Fantastic live band, definitely need to see them if you get the chance, their live show is what made me a fan.

The same night I saw them play, they were opening for this band...

Theory of a Deadman...best thing about Nickleback was it got me this band XD

Yes, I have attitude about Nickleback...I won't deny I do have a couple of their albums, figured I only needed that many, as they all basically sound exactly the same. However, they do not rate a video posting. So there. On we go.


Sam Roberts, I really like his music, and he reminds me of my friend Jordan. Hmmmm...maybe I should be more specific, as I have several friends that share that particular name. Jordan Oliver is the one I speak of. Anyone who reads this, and who is on my Facebook will see his picture, and he looks just like this guy XD Anyway, moving on..


HAHAHAHAHAHA, I love this damn song. Yes, I've also seen this band live, during the first of 4 straight days of concerts up in Vancouver. VERY loud, almost to the point of makin' ya physically sick...almost >:D


They got a lot better when they grew up, but I will be the first to admit...they always were a good band, they just got a LOT better later lol


She is without a doubt my favorite female musician, I think she has an absolutely amazing voice, and her songs are great.

Of course, the only way I can end this is with my favorite musician EVER, who everyone knows is Canadian based, because I never shut up about it. XD


Matthew Good...the most awesome of all :D

Can you believe it??

I actually got shit done!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

I got my music posted, my 80's playlist I put together after watching "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion" for like the billionth damn time. What can I say, I think that movie is hilarious, I love it. Not that I would go to my high school reunion, zero interest in that. The few people I was friends with in high school...well, I am still friends/in contact with them.

I transferred what was left of my original blog to this one. THANK YOU Blogger for giving me the option of export/import, something that wasn't there when I did my first transfer of posts. *sigh*. It's okay though, instead of taking a month this time, it took like 5 minutes. A bit of editing needs to be done, but only because some of the videos I posted in the past are no longer there, but I either found new links or replaced the videos, have not deleted anything else, and don't intend to.

I've spent the last few hours reading a lot of my past writings, and I must say, it has very much inspired me to really start at this again.  So more editing and adding tomorrow, I must try to nap, have work in the morning. As I have had a job change since I originally started writing, I should probably point out the fact I'm no longer at the P.H., now I work at the "clown house", a.k.a., McDonald's.  Friday...Filet-o-Fish Friday to be precise. The day people come in and order $1.29 fish sandwiches, $1.00 McChickens, and an assload of Chicken McNuggets. Lots of people (in Garden Grove at the very least) are under the impression the fact they are not eating meat on Fridays is going to save them from hell.

Don't YOU wish it was that easy? ;)

Ooooohhh, it's been a long couple of days already. I'm fucking tired.

Can't go to sleep yet though, or it will throw my sleep schedule completely off, considering its something I rarely do to begin with. Besides, it's not like there isn't plenty to keep me busy. Writing this for example. Like anyone but me cares. ;)  I will be adding music in a couple of hours, as well as FINALLY transferring my old blog over to this one. The second and the last time I will be doing that. Just to prove that I really used to do this on a fairly regular basis. There are some posts that have gone bye-bye, but it's not like those posts are any great loss. The ones that I actually liked are still around. Keep in mind, I'm not one for editing myself, but in certain cases, it was just a necessity. I won't be doing that here though. If I wrote it, its because thats what I was feeling at that moment, right or wrong.

My blog...live with it. :)

So busy lately.

Not complaining, it's actually a good thing.

Busy means time goes by faster, things you are looking forward to are finally coming around, things like that. Trip for next month is all set, appointment set for school, appointments set to view apartments, etc. Hopefully check out a few places of employment while I'm there as well.  Then another trip in May, for my sister's wedding, then back home to work for a couple months straight so I can move away from here finally.  Moving will happen even if school does not. I've decided if I can't afford school quite yet, then my last option will again become my first (yay to me, most of my friends will NOT be pleased), and I'm more than okay with that. All I know is I will not continue to work like as hard as I do, for basically nothing.  I have a future planned, and it won't come to fruition if I continue to work the places I usually do.

Tired of my friends telling me "you are too smart to be working at that shithole..".

You think I don't know that for fucks' sake?

I'm working on it, alright?

Currently working on playlists for the page, gotta have music to help keep the boredom from setting in too quickly. I will be adding on a little something daily, besides my rants of nonsense.
