New Place

Hello! So I'm all moved in and I absolutely love my new place. It is definitely a very cute little space. I really enjoy being in the heart of Osborne Village as well. I've been walking to and from work and it has been nice. It didn't take me long to get used to living by myself (once Layla moved in). So if you are ever in my neck of the woods, you should definitely come and drop by.

Hey folks! Well I've finally been approved for my apartment in Osborne Village and I can move in on Saturday. Yup that's right Saturday as in the day after tomorrow. So I'm not going to lie, it was a mixed blessing getting the place. Obviously sad because that meant that things were really over, and happy because I can start trying to move on. Things have been tense around the house and I'm sure emotions will be running high this weekend. I've had a heavy heart trying to pack up the remainder of my stuff. I'm trying to put on a brave face because I dont want to bring anyone down and it makes me feel stronger if I can control my emotions. I know things happen for a reason so I'm trying to make the best of it. So don't worry about me 'cause I'll be fine.

Hey this is the 100th post

So I am the type of person that knows what kind of music I like but I dont know what its called (or if it has a category at all) or how to find it. So Matt introduced me to this website called Last FM which you sign into (its free) and it keeps track of the songs you listen to on your computer and it finds people who listen to similar music to you and compares your soundtracks. So if the other person listens to everything that you listen to but also listens to something else, they would recommend it for you. This is great for those of you (me included) that have a hard time finding new music. It also has a radio station and chat. I've just started using it so I dont know its full potential yet but so far it seems like a pretty awesome thing.

You should give it a try. Just be warned that if you use it on a shared computer and you dont log out, then if someone else listens to music, it will record that other music on your profile. So if you have a little sister that likes New Kids on the Block or something like that, it will show up on your profile and it may skew your results.

My new favorite thing in the whole world

So I decided to take it easy yesterday so obviously that meant that I ate a bunch of food, watched tv and played on my laptop. Well during my laptop browsing, I came across this houseware company called Koziol. Well I fell in love instantly. Well for those of you that know me, I kinda have expensive taste and these little numbers arent really on the cheap side, but I love them anyways. Above are some of the things I love. I anyone knows where to get them in Canada, please let me know.

Hello! So I'm not allowed to mention the name of my work on my blog (due to policy) but I can tell you that I did get promoted and now work downtown in Portage Place Mall. Ah back to crazyville. I will also be picking up a second job to help pay for bills. So once I get settled, I will be working part-time at IMAX again. Ah my IMAX family. So when I`m not at my future apartment, I will be pretty much living in Portage Place Mall. Oh well. It suits me.

Some progress so far...

Hey folks! So some things have happened since my last post. I decided that I'm not going to live with my friend Ryan. It was just too hard to find something that we both liked (and that would allow pets). And once I got thinking, I decided that it would be best for me to live on my own. I hope Ryan isn't too disappointed about my decision. It was really hard finding a two bedroom but I found a whole bunch of listings for bachelor apartments. I went and looked at one in the village (behind Basils) and it was pretty basic but has a lot of potential (and it secretly allows cats). The price includes water, heat, basic cable and laundry. The landlord chick seemed pretty cool too. Matt was nice enough to drop off my application for me during his lunch hour. So I should find out next week if everything checks out. The place is available immediately so if all goes to plan maybe I can start moving in next weekend. Fingers crossed.

In Limbo

So me and Matt are still broken up and still living together. It has been impossible to find a place so close to September. I am hoping that I can get into a place soon or at least for October. So far I have been coping with the breakup quite well but I think that the main reason is that it doesnt feel totally real yet. I think that once I move out then reality will sink in. So far Matt has still been really good about the whole thing and I am really hoping that we will be able to remain good friends.

I have received a lot of phone calls from concerned friends and I appreciate them all, it is good to hear from all of you. So far me and Matt are still on really good terms so it is starting to get on my nerves when people automatically start badmouthing him. I understand that that is the automatic response from people and that is fine but for those of you ( I will not name names) who insist on repeatedly badmouthing, I would appreciate a different approach to the situation. I have recently tried to surround myself with positive vibes and have been trying to take an optimistic approach to life, so please try to be supportive without being judgemental and negative. Life is too short to focus on the bad things.

Anyways I am glad that I got that out of the way. I am going to check out a place tomorrow after work so hopefully it will work out. I will keep you guys posted on my progress.

Cheers!
