The Phantom’s Ravine

I wrote a big huge self-loathing rant and deleted it. I decided it was too irritating. Which is probably for the best.

I’m in Kelowna for the weekend visiting my family. Kyle came down with me and drove us both here, so that was one fewer bus I have to take. We had a good time. Kyle and Tyler were finally able to meet, we raided on our terrible laptops in his kitchen, we downed Deathwing for the first time, then went to Kelly O’s for pachos and other such foods. Unfortunately, I’m sick, so I was unable to taste any of the food and that was very distressing. Yesterday, we did “Christmas” and had turkey dinner. Kyle and I also went out to Rutland to meet one of our guildies that happens to live here. He’s a pretty nice dude.

I woke up this morning to the middle portion of my bottom lip being numb. I don’t know what happened. I didn’t bite it in my sleep or anything. Mom thinks the pillow I was using somehow pinched a nerve in my neck. Which is pretty pathetic considering I’m 23 and way too young for any of that to happen. At any rate, it’s been numb all day and it’s starting to get really annoying. I keep biting my lip, kind of, and now the inside of it is sore from my teeth. I’m hoping that it won’t be numb when I wake up, but I have a feeling it won’t turn out like that. Just another problem to add to my many existing ones. Seriously, I should just jump in front of a bus, I’m pretty sure my body is trying to tell me something.

I gotta get better at updating this. :P

Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground.

Christmas Eve and I’m hanging out on WoW in my PJs because I’m not able to go home for Christmas until January. It’s a lot more depressing than I thought it’d be. And it also makes me miss snow a lot. I know everyone whines about snow when it happens, but it sure is nice. It makes everything in the world quiet.

Work has been insanely quiet the past couple weeks. Never moreso than this week, of course. Yesterday was so dead, my manager all but told me to go home early, since I was done all my work. So I left at 1pm and met Kyle at Metrotown so I could pick up Shane and Shay’s gift and he could return a keyboard and general tom foolery could commence. It was a good afternoon and I was very glad to have left work early and gotten all that crap done by 4 so I could just go home at the normal time and not worry about dealing with transit or the malls today.

I will be going home to Kelowna from January 6th to January 12th. So. There’s that. Shane won’t be there ’cause he couldn’t get the time off from work. So I’ll be going back down again in April for his birthday, ’cause he’s going to try again then. This has just reminded me that I need to book my bus/flight/whatever. Transportation. Whatever’s cheaper. I should do that this weekend.

Other than that, gonna be a quiet weekend. Hanging out around home today and most of tomorrow, going to Melissa’s for Christmas dinner, hanging around on Boxing Day.

Gonna go eat my sadness away or something. That’s what girls do, right?

My knee has been in relatively terrible pain for the past four hours or so. I don’t know why. It was fine all day. It is reminiscent of The Great Knee Gimping of 2009. This upsets me greatly. Here’s to hoping it gets better soon. Otherwise I’m gonna be grumpy.

Dat ass.

I am slipping into bad sleeping habits again. I need to be careful or I am also going to slip into my old headaches again. Stupid Dawn.

Today was the first day in a really long time that I actually had work to do for my entire shift. Normal stock took 7.5 hours of my shift. But we also got a Beck Arnley shipment because it likes to show up and ruin my week at random points and without warning. So that’s great. I’ve got a boatload of shit to put away tomorrow before starting normal stock. Maybe it won’t be so bad. Work is really boring to blog about. I apologize. It’s all I have. :c

Mum finished the blinds for our living room and said she sent them out and that we should be receiving them tomorrow. So that’ll be super. We can finally get real blinds going on in the living room. Maybe it’ll make the room feel a little cozier. Hopefully they’re not too difficult for me to hang up myself ’cause Shay and Shane leave town tomorrow for five days for Terry’s wedding. I would like to get them hanged up as soon as possible. Because reasons.

I keep meaning to write more, but I keep zoning out on the white screen. This song probably isn’t helping.

I almost had a dream last night. It was the tail end of something. I don’t really remember it so I didn’t write it down. But maybe rereading all my old dreams has kickstarted my brain into being interesting again. Or maybe it’s ’cause I am slightly sleep deprived. And maybe that’s why I sleep less. I enjoy dreaming. To dream, I get unhealthy amounts of sleep. I am so totally going to kill myself unintentionally with my shenanigans.

Damn you, shenanigans. Damn you.

The losing card I’ll someday lay.

We only got half a skid of NFL today. I guess they were like, lol let’s give them half a skid of lame stock and give them THREE SKIDS OF CAR BATTERIES. That’s like… 100 batteries or something. That’s too many batteries. My arms are so tired I can barely lift them. I don’t know why they keep doing this. They don’t send batteries for two weeks and then they nail us with three skids. Get your acts together and send us batteries at least once a week so we’re not breaking our backs unloading them all at once.

Also I have had too many serious conversations with people today and it has mentally exhausted me. I want to sleep for about a thousand years and never think about these things again because it’s occurred to me that I still can’t handle thinking about said things. I haven’t felt like this for a long time.

And now that I have spent about an hour and a half wiping on Rag with House Sole, I am going to go curl up on the couch and watch a movie.

Sometimes I wish I drank.

Rude Boy Bass

Oh golly!

I have this problem where I start talking with Kyle on the weekends, most prominently his days off, and then we end up talking and wasting time for hours and then Bob’s your uncle, it’s 6am. It’s a pretty terrible habit. I wish I could break it. Unfortunately, Kyle is too handsome and interesting. Stupid Kyle.

As a result, I slept half my day away. So that’s cool I guess. I also got groceries. That’s way less cool.

Frick, my downstairs neighbors, man. So annoying. I understand that they enjoy having fun, and that’s cool, but for Christ’s sake, do it at a respectable volume. When I can feel your music through the floor and almost understand all the words, something’s wrong. I want to write them a stern note expressing my displeasure. I think I will sometime this week. Otherwise, I hope the landlord can do something about it, ’cause it’s tiring.

Golly gee!

Apologies

I apologize for my many months-long hiatus from blogging. I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. I would always think to myself, “man I should blog today,” but I just couldn’t ever bring myself to do it.

Since I last blogged: Shay, Shane and I have moved into a new place, I’ve moved from the Metrotown location store to the downtown Vancouver store because I couldn’t stand working for my manager anymore, and… well, that’s about it.

I’ve been making conscious efforts to try to hang out with a friend every weekend. If not that, then at least every other weekend. So far so good. I think it’s helping me feel less like a failure at life.

Still chugging away at WoW.

Went out to dinner tonight with Shay, Shane, Craig and Kyle (Shay’s coworker and now our friend). Went to a pasta place called Anton’s that is down on Hastings by where we used to live. Always wanted to go there when we lived there but never did. So that was nice. It was super good and super filling and I have a super duper amount of leftovers.

I cut my arm on a muffler at the beginning of the week, which is generally not such a big deal, but this stupid little cut has grieved me all week. It’s in an awkward place so it always rubs on my clothing and when I twist my arm, it pulls at the stupid scab. Also, I think it might be a little infected, which is gross and not so good because the oil/grease on mufflers is toxic. So I’m pretty much hoping for the best there. Hopefully it finishes healing soon ’cause it’s driving me crazy.

Other than that, not much to report.

P.S. I miss dreaming.
