New Location, also Comics

Me and Adam are presently renting a nice little apartment 3 blocks south of his work or 98th Ave and 104th St. We've got a 3 month lease on it, and will be getting phone and internet on Wednesday.^_^

It's nice to be one 20 minute busride from school, cause I have SOOOO much work to do. IF I can manage to get off my lazy butt, this week, I will be going insane from working.

Also, Saturday was 12 Hour Comic Day. It was basically a 12 Hour Comic Jam and was a lot fun. I even got my picture and a quote in the Edmonton Journal. Yay!

Can't wait for May.

Endless Ocean

Adam messaged me the other day with "Do you like the ocean?"

I said yeah, and asked what's up. "Just curious," he replied.

Next day: "I bought a game about the ocean."

What's it called?

Endless Ocean. It was $30.

It's actually a pretty fun game, and quite relaxing. We spent a good chunk of the weekend diving in various places, taking pictures and petting fish, penguins and polar bears. You can even get dolphin friends to swim with you. I named mine Namor and Zeus (though I should have named him Poisidon or Neptune).

As you interact with fish (poking, petting, feeding), you get more information about them. Some of them will give their info with a couple pets, and then follow you around for the rest of your dive, wanting more affection. Other fish won't give up their secrets so easily, especially in the deep sea crevace called "The Abyss." One fish down there that we can't get any info out of, we simply call "Dick Fish." Cause he's a dick.

There are also missions you can do, but you don't have to do them if you don't really want to... you've got about a week to complete some missions, so it's a pretty chill game.

If you like fish, this game's for you.

Ice on Whyte

So this week, I'm singing at Ice on Whyte, and yesterday was my first night singing. I got the adress, checked which buses tooks me there and went on my way. I took a 7 down to City Centre and took the LRT from there to the University. I knew I needed to take a 4 or a 6 to get me to 104th street. I ho on a 6.

It's dark, and the bus is really crowded, so i can't see any street signs. All I could tell was that the bus was going very south. South was bad. I got off the bus. I had no clue where I was, so I started walking till I could find a street sign. It was a little after 7, so I called Jack to tell him I'll be late, if I make it there at all. Afew minutes later, I realize I'm on 113th street and 67th ave. NOT where I wanted to be, so I turned around and started hiking back toward 82nd ave.

Fortunately, a 6 comes by, and I'm able to take it back to the university. I didn't want to take my chances with it going the wrong direction again, so from the university, I WALKED to 85th ave and 104th street. I also just missed 2 buses that would have taken me most of the way.

I finally got there around 8 o'clock. It had taken me 2 full hours to get there from my house. Needless to say, I wasn't looking forward to the adventure of finding my way back home. Fortunately, a very nice lady drove me home.

Let's hope things will go easier on Wednesday and Thursday.

Happy Christmas and Merry New Year!

Little late, but happy holidays anyway. I've been busy with stuff, and been hanging out in St. Albert a lot.

Adam's Project is Finished!

So yesterday was the day of Adam's project presentation. I think it went pretty well except for Sean's part (that was pretty brutal). We headed over to Boston pizza afterwards then went to The Globe @ 7 for the CST grad party. I made Adam stay in his penguin suit the whole time cause he looked nice in it. ^_^

We ended up being 15 minutes late to The Globe due to sucky Edmonton bussing, but oddly enough, no one else was there except for Kyle. He was the only other person there that I had met before, cause Sam and Sean didn't come at all. People starting showing up later and there was a lot of constantly moving around to different tables.

I had some potato skins there. They were GREAT! I need to have potato skins more often.

We ended up leaving early cause I guess it wasn't so great of a party as Adam hoped it would be. He also said he had "things to do"??!? O_o

We watched some IT Crowd and cuddled a lot. It was a good night. ^_^

Hopefully, he might already have a job... so horray!

Also, we got Matthew and Serena to play some more Guitar Hero. They're starting to get the hang of it now! Soon they'll be better than me. :(

Ouchie.

I had to get a needle yesterday. It huuuuurt!

I guess mumps has been going around, so everyone was encouraged to get immunized. There were notes in our boxes and posters everywhere. I really didn't want to go, as I had nightmares about it the night before. I'm terrified of needles, and of course, being all tense only makes it hurt more. I ended up being dragged down with Ceima and Amanda, so at least I wasn't alone. The worst part was being told to wiggle my fingers as the needle was jabbed into me. My arm was sore for s few hours after that, but I'm fine now.

At least I won't have to worry about getting measles, mumps or rubella anytime soon.

Got a Boyfriend

Well, me and Adam (from the drama club) have become involved with each other for the past week and a half or so, when he came to have a Firefly marathon with me.

We've been spending a hell of a lot of time together recently.... but I don't mind.:)
