January 16, 2009: 5:00AM


This is my journal, this is my diary. Ive never kept one for more then a few weeks, so I will have to see where this one takes me. A rather new and delightful friend of mine blogs regularly and after reading his I was inspired to try my shot at keeping one.

My life in a nutshell...that's what I need right now. Something to place in here that will help me gain a future understanding of where I am in life right now...on my laptop...in Dave's gaming chair at 5am, after hanging with Matt and Evan.

My Nutshell:

I have changed what my plans were for my near future. For a while I was sure that I was going to go planting this next summer (09) and then after Jason and Alanna's wedding go visit Graham and Chels in the Caymans and then go with them down to Brazil and then staying there for the fall. Then I would come back and start school again, probably my Anth/Soc. degree.

But times they are changing, new opportunities, thoughts, ideas, feelings...maybe I am just indecisive when it comes to decision making. I think it's more that I am overwhelmed with the many great opportunities that lay on my threshold! So many glorious things to do with my life, so little time! It will, as it always is, be interesting to see where I land.

Now I am seriously thinking about moving to Saskatoon. It would be a grand change in my life, a chance to possibly grow in areas that have been so stagnent here in Abby. It's not an easy decision, I am so comfortable here...and my friends are all so amazing! I also would hate leaving where I live right now...this basement suit is almost perfect for me. Some of my friends are also very negative about me leaving. I guess more so disappointed, not negative. They bring up great points on my possible decision to move...but what makes the decision hard is that I realize what they say and include those points in my decision making process. I know either way I would be giving up or foregoing opportunities.

I have more immidiate fish to fry...like finding a job. I've been without one for almost a month, granted though, half of that was while I was in Alberta visiting over Christmas. I am supposed to go on a trip across Canada...an amazing trip, with an amazing friend in April...but more and more it looks like it's not going to happen. After I find a job I will have to save so much (especially if it is a crappy one) just so that I can pay to live as well as have some monies kicking around for planting.

I lost my dog for 3 days about a week ago. Found him in the Aldergrove pound and had to pay 100 bucks to get him out! Note to self...always make sure my dog has a tag with a phone number or addy.

Oh, and how can I almost forget my new car! During the super cold winter here in Abby my K car (Betty) sprung a leak. She still runs, however I think I might have cracked the block. I will eventually find out for sure, hopefully she is still gtg because I like her a lot and wished for a long life with her. But, with every end there is a beginning! I bought another K car...a K wagon (Aries) to be exact. I bought her from Dave's sister. It was a perfect fit since I know my way around a K car and this new one is the exact same colour as Betty...in fact...its pretty much the same car only the wagon version. I named this one myself... Avery K Aries. Hopefully we will have a long life together. If Betty is still keepable, I will pay it forward and give it to a friend in need for free, just like it was given to me when I needed it. (Man, Jordan Supeene...a gem I tell ya)

Well is there anything else I should mention in this summary/update/first post of this journals life?

Oh! Dave and I just started making our own wine. If it all works out in six weeks him and I will put together 30 bottles of "D & J's Bodrum Shiraz".

Other worthy mentions are my new found Vinyl and comic book collection. As well, I have never enjoyed wine and smoking pipe quite as much as I do these days.

Anyways, it is late and I need to sleep. Tomorrow I look forward to U23D in Vancouver.

Also, I dont think that I am going to do any spell checks on any of my posts...too much work.
