The best way of looking at this is to realize that anyone who is consistently unwilling to make time for you is unworthy of *your* time.

Now that Mike has seen it, I can come out about dying my hair purple. (I was keeping it a surprise.) Unfortunately, none of the pictures I took turned out where you can see the colour properly. Hopefully, some of the pictures that Leah and Elaine took at the birthday dinner will turn out.
On with the gifts.

p.s. Pomegrante 7-Up is awesome. Going to make some popcorn. Mmmm

Thank you for all of the birthday wishes, both here and on FB.
Dinner was good. Actual b-day was okay. First day of being older = not very productive. lol
I'll get off my ass eventually and post pics of gifts.
I officially kick off the winter season tomorrow! Let it snow!

Sorry for not keeping up to date. I've read my flist, so that's all good.
Lol, Mike is half asleep and trying to hold my hand while I type. Awww.
So, just been chillin' and hanging out with my b-day coming up in less than 24 hours. Brings up a lot of mixed emotions for me. Right now I'm doing pretty good though.
Hope my "party" doesn't suck.
*group hugs*

Tried pudding flavoured bubble tea today and it was rather good. It will definitely be on my repeat list.
Bought about $60 worth of groceries, including fresh veg and fruit. Had a hard time deciding what to eat for supper tonight as I had so many options!
Want to climb into bed already but it is much too early to do so.
Sitting at my armchair with my fold-out table right now. Gonna see if this is better than the desk. If I get a longer ethernet cable, I can sit on the couch.
Don't really have all else much to say.

I didn't get to go shopping today because J's mom took his car, but we've rescheduled that for tomorrow. Unexpectedly got to see my love for a little while tonight. Elaine unexpectedly called me up if I wanted to go eat in Burlington, and I asked if it was alright for me to invite Mike since he lives only a block away. He wasn't feeling very well though. :( The food also wasn't very good. I remember breakfast being a lot better.
The purpose of the trip was to drop Ian off at his place along with a few of his things. I think Ian and Mike are getting more comfortable around each other now. They seemed to hold conversation less awkwardly this time.
Even though all I've felt like doing this week is staying in bed all day, I have been pretty active. I've gone out almost every day this week and will be for at least the first half of next week. Just thinking about it exhausts me but I think it is probably better for my depression.
I cleaned out the bottom of the fridge tonight and need to wash out the vegetable drawers when I wash dishes tomorrow. Also cleaned the bathroom while I was at it.
Spent most of today installing iTunes and importing all my media. Meddled with the podcasts but I don't think I am going to sync my iPod for a while as there are so many podcasts to catch up on.
I need a better place to sit at my computer. This current setup screws up my back if I sit for prolonged periods.
Going to bed after these cds finish ripping.

This was all a dream...
So, it starts off where I am over at my mom's cuz I had asked her to give me a ride to choir practice. At the last minute, she has "other plans" and says I shouldn't be upset because there are lots of other people in choir who could pick me up. (I flipped out over this in a very BPD way.)
Eventually I end up with the choir. For some reason, we are having practice in Seattle. I later find out that Kay had been thinking of doing a show there and wanted to get a feel for the area. Leah tells her about the carnival we had been to in the area (twice previously in other dreams). As everyone was leaving, I decided to go over to Kim's. I was still pissed at my mom, so I was "running away". There was a ferry boat I had to take into the city, but from there I was able to walk. When I got to Kim's apartment, she was outside on the lawn with another girl. I had to come up to her a few times before she noticed it was me. We end up going inside and there is another girl there. One of them was helping her study for some kind of computer course or something. Because there were other people over, I decided that running away was dumb and asked what time the last ferry was (so I could make it back to Ontario with the choir, I guess). The last ferry was at 3:33pm. I thought that was retarded and was expecting it to be at least 7pm or thereabouts. It was already 3:30pm so my plan to take the ferry back was nixed. Then I started panicking because I had to get back to Ontario for a doctor's appointment and had almost no money on me (ie. cannot book a flight and the train would take too long). So Kim starts writing down names and stuff, supposedly so I can hitch-hike back. I was like, "I've never hitch-hiked before! I'll probably get raped or something!" Then two more people came into the apartment. One was a guy and he starts getting on my case about not bringing any drugs with me. I tell him, I just came from Canada, so of course I don't have anything with me (due to border crossing). He says that's no excuse and that I still should have brought shit if I was gonna come by unexpectedly. So then I tell him my regular song and dance about not having any connections or knowing how to score, so if he wanted to hook me up, I'd gladly bring some next time.
There was a bunch of other weird stuff, like knives that looked like guns. And a girl who asked me if I knew everyone in Canada. I told her that's the same as me asking if she knew everyone in America.
Oh, and I also went on a rant about how neglected the lower class is in the States. One of Kim's friends was saying how she didn't have any towels, so she could take care of her kids.
Yeah, really strange.

I know it is kind of early (and the Christmas season doesn't start until after my birthday - at least in my world) but...
I am posting this to try to get a sense of who all I'll be doing gift exchanges with this year? I have comments screened, for privacy. I just need to get an idea so I don't feel like a dork for not getting something and also so I can figure out things financially.
So, if you are planning on sending anything, please leave a comment. If you do not comment and end up with a lame-ass or late gift, it's your own fault. :P

Had a weird dream last night where my mom was trying to get me to go out with Ron Jeremy. O.o Thing is, I was still with Mike and had no intention of that changing. I was really confused as to why my mom thought otherwise. But Ron seemed interested in dating and I didn't want to hurt his feelings, so I never mentioned that I already had a boyfriend. When my mom started asking what had happened with Mike, I finally told her nothing had happened and that we were still together. Ron was hurt but seemed to take it well. Then he and Mike became friends.
p.s. I have never seen Ron Jeremy in a porn (therefore this dream was PG rated).
