Saturday Night Hat

I'm home.

Possibility of pictures tomorrow.

Seeing Colour

On Monday I doubt I did anything, which is probably why I have no recollection of it.

On Tuesday I made cupcakes:

The Batter:





Mmmm





The icing



The finished product







The inside



Me eating one





After that I went to Coquitlam, which took before ever, because the entire bloody transit system was backed up due to the oil spill on the Barnet. I brought Mikhael a cupcake, got a few honks on the way, and we hung out on the couches in Coquitlam Centre. Ate out with my parents, who apparently forgot that they were meeting me for dinner until they were almost home.

Wednesday I didn't do much again. I woke up to mom on the computer; she left a little while later. I picked the blueberries and it took me a while. I was taking pictures of the butterfly bushes and I nearly stepped on Frickie's tail, and when I hugged her and said I was sorry she licked me on the nose.

Yesterday I vacuumed the entire house again.

Today so far I haven't really done anything, though I did eat the mother of all veggie burgers. Soonish I am leaving for Erin's, and tomorrow morning we are ferry-ing to Victoria, where we will meet up with Mom and Dad for some good, old-fashioned Victoria fun, meaning the Titanic exhibit at the Royal BC Museum and visiting Rogers Chocolates.

You probably won't hear from me until Sunday or Monday.

End of Part One

On Friday all I did was avoid spoilers. This was accomplished by watching So You Think You Can Dance dances on YouTube.

Yesterday I did normal computerly stuff. Around three-thirty I started to feel a little tired, and sometime around or just after seven I fell asleep at my desk. Mom and Dad told me to get some sleep, so I took a one hour nap, then stayed up to watch SNL.

Today we went to Bard on the Beach to see Timon of Athens. I actually really liked it. There was live music at this one, and the sound effects lady was awesome.

We went to the downtown Costco and saw things that you wouldn't see at a Costco in the 'burbs.

On the way home we saw Mikhael waiting for a bus, so we gave him a ride.

Last Nightly Adventures

Mom and I kept ourselves partially amused with pictures while waiting for Harry Potter.

So we went inside to the table in the back where we confirmed our order and I got a nifty bracelet that I had to wear for the next hour or so. Unfortunately our last name started with 'B', and so did the rest of the population, so we were stuck in the only queue with people in it, the A - F line.









Eventually we got through, and immediately afterwards Mom made a beeline for Starbucks. I was right behind her when I heard someone calling my name. It was Jordan! Yay! We talked for a few, while Mom was ordering coffees for us, and took pictures. She came back and after posing in front of the 'potions ingredients' we headed outside.











We quickly let a few people in front of us know that we were the preordered line, and that they didn't belong, and quickly managed to find ourselves undercover. Not before we took a pic or two, though.







For the next hour or so I texted Jordan and talked Mom's ears off, simultaneously keeping the lady in front of us amused, as her daughter wasn't saying much.

Almost directly behind me, was a TOC for Lehman that we had for three days or so. I would post a link to the post about him, but there seems to be no such thing. I rather liked the guy; most girls thought he was attractive, except for the chin, and I just thought it was cute how he'd walk by me and say, 'Moscow' before greeting me. I wasn't sure if he'd remember me, with the drastic haircut and all, and I didn't want to disturb him from the book he was reading, but I'm sure that if I had gotten his attention and said, 'Moscow' to him, he would have known who I was. He did know me by name, after all, as Abby, the rugby player dating the Russian, and therefore anal about the pronunciation of 'Moscow'.

Eventually we were let in, although a few minutes late; they held up everything because some woman lost her kids in the store. Mom took pictures of the ceremonial Removal-of-the-Bracelet, and the Handing-Over-of-the-Book, and we paused to take pictures of my head in the 'Wanted' poster before heading back to the car.

Alright

So I got the book around 12:30 ish, started reading it when I got to the car. Got home, read it, finished at 8:18. There was a period of half an hour to an hour, between four and five, when I tried to sleep, but couldn't.

As of right now I'm not tired at all, but I've been hungry for hours.

Oh yeah, and the book was SO GOOD.

HARRY POTTER COMES OUT TONIGHT!!!

Bankrobber meets Plumber

One hundred days to my birthday. Not that anyone cares.

Yesterday I signed my life away at Sportchek.

Today I did nothing except dishes.

I'm not in the mood for this.

It's not an assembly until I take off my shoe

So yesterday started off with a trip to London Drugs, where I bought hair things and green eyeshadow.

Then there was a short stint of doing nothing at home.

Then I went to Coquitlam Station and met up with Jordan.

*Giant grin*

We went for sushi, then wandered to SilverCity to see what movies were playing and ended up seeing Harry Potter. It was good, although they didn't see Lockheart (I was severely disappointed, but then again, I just like Kenneth Branagh), the whole DA finding out thing wasn't accurate at all, and the last line was cheesy, but it's always cheesy. The fight scene in the ministry could have been a lot better, but Helena Bonham Carter was awesome.

As we were walking back to the bus stop the bus went by, and turns out that that late in the evening the bus only comes once an hour, which was annoying, but at least it gave us more time to catch up. Except for the movie and eating, we talked non-stop. Mom eventually rescued me from Coquitlam Station, because by the time we got there, it was close to ten-thirty.

Today I unpacked a couple boxes, cleaned my desk area (but only because I had to) and did a few other minor chores.

I called Sportchek and they told me that I would hear back from them in a week or so, and then they called me half an hour later and offered me a position. Persistence is key.

A Day in the Life (Now with more Drastic Haircut)

My day started off with a shower, but you get no pictures of that. I do, however, have this picture taken after.



I don't take good pictures when my hair is wet.

Next I ate breakfast:

Here is breakfast



Here is family







I look like an elf.



Next, Mikhael came over and we took some before shots.





We took the bus to my hairdresser





Walked to the hairdresser



And then...

The most exciting part of all...

The first cut!



Ahh, my beautiful hair!



More chair pics





And...

After!











On the bus back to my house we took more pictures.





And then paused to roll around on the ground for a while.









Then, not pictured, was the lounging around my house for a while, including watching the first five minutes of The Baby-Sitter's Club on TV, until the ugly Swiss guy came on, giving me enough time to exhaust my knowledge of the Baby-Sitter's Club (I used to love those books, back when I was seven).

I walked Mikhael to the bus stop...

And he stopped to smell the flowers



I went home and took more pictures:

First in the bathroom





Then in the living room





Then, while searching for a bobby pin, I found a necklace that I hadn't seen in years and decided to clean it up.

After polishing it, I attached the pendant back onto the jumpring (while polishing the chain it was ripped off)



The pendant ( I take bad pictures of jewellery)



Then I ate dinner (grilled salmon, coleslaw, other salad, pitas)



Then, after watching the news, I spent some quality time with Sally





Then decided to read a bit of King Lear



And just now, texted Jordan (you can tell I'm posing because I'm texting right-handed).



Ooo, the intense concentration on my face.

Up next, I take another shower to get the wax out of my hair, and then play on the computer until I'm tired enough to go to sleep.

Edit: Yay! A wet hair look I can live with!
