9 sleeps till boyfriend comes home from tour!
I guess I better take down the christmas tree..... lol.

BUR SRSLY so excited.
except GUESS THE FUCK WHAT!
I'm due for my rag on the DAY he gets home. Bwa bwa.
fuck my life.
oh well.
i guess we'll just have to "cuddle"

On the super plus side (as if seeing his cute butt/beard after nearly 8 weeks isn't a plus enough) he is bringing me a present.... that you can smoke! that isn't cigarettes,... that makes you hiiiiiiiigh....... so at the very, very least.... we can blaze, and watch she-ra. and cuddle.
OOOOH how we will cuddle.

So these last 2 nights, Dan has been in Toronto getting tons of free booze from crazy industry people, and he calls me super fucking wasted, and pours his heart out. Some fav tidbits from his drunken showering of compliments:
"I'm at this sketchy bar... it's like a hook up bar. And i'm looking around, and I'm realizing how much I love you. You're the prettiest girl i've ever seen, and every girl I see, I just wish she looked like you" (totally cute until that major questionable last part.... )

"Theres girls hitting on me all the time. and you know what I say? Fuck them. I have a super hot girlfriend at home who I love. And you know what? even if I did fuck them, what would I do? I wouldn't know what record to put on when we're doing it. I wouldn't know where the fuck to go? Where would I go? My bed is at home with you. Its just fucking stupid." (me, i go "Oh, what record would you put on for me?" and he's all "I dunno. I know what you like" me-> "what do I like?" him -> "I could put on coheed and cambria and you'd be down to fuck to that... or Marvin gaye 'lets get it on'")

Mostly he'd say super sweet things, and then say something awkward like "even though it's tempting sometimes..." and I'd be like nig plz. He's just a boy... and he knows in his head what he's TRYING to say... he's just too drunk to articulate it. So he told me we'd have a serious conversation when I sobered up "You're too drubk boo, we'll talk when you sober up."\
(i spent the night cuddling with the cats and playing video games... not drinking HAHA. so silly)

Anyways yeah.
This tour wasn't so bad.
I spend a LOT of time hanging out by myself.... and I can honestly tell you I dont regret it. I got to do a lot of stuff that I used to do in my single girl days (like when I lived at cecills) it was really nice just to be selfish and enjoy all the ME time, you know?
I really wasnt feeling very social, but I wasnt feeling sorry for myself either. I was just having a good time, reading books, sleeping, long baths, freaks and geeks, kitties.... a few outings with people who I rarely see, plus a visit from my sister, and my parents!

I guess I could have been a lot more social, but work really takes it outta me, and on days that I work, I am outta commission as soon as I walk through that door. And my first day off of the week, i use to pamper myself... and that really doesnt leave me THAT much time to do stuff. BUT no excuses. I have been totally selfish, and it's been FABULOUS!!!!

So, if you've either:
a) known me long enough or
b) read my livejournal long enough
you will know that Christmas is my absolute fav to the max. I get super duper excited, often can't sleep christmas eve, and wake up freakishly early on christmas and wake EVERYONE up so we can get on with it already. And in true Sars fashion, I often feel christmas is a let down and sometimes I selfishly pout, oh and I always complain about the way my grandmas cooking has degenerated.
That all said, Christmas is still my favorite. This year, me and dan were heading up to Nanaimo to spend Christmas with my Family! EXCITINGGGGG!!!
Only, now we can't go. My window of oppurunity is too small, and it's gonna dump so much snow on Christmas eve, and the trek up island is just a little too risky.
Neither me nor my family have wanted to come to terms with this, and today we did. Its just not gonna happen. But we'll have a mini pretend christmas shortly after new years when the retail buzz does down and the snow hopefully melts.
Anyways, I was soooo bummered out about this, but then I figured:
a) this is my first christmas with Dan and we can make our own traditions
b)it's a white christmas!!
It's going to be a Chamber St Christmas, since we're all gonna be here. And since all 3 boys are cooks.... we're going to have a feast! The word on the street is that we're having steak and all the fixins.... my mouth is watering already, really.
We'll get drunk. And we can play Clue. And mystery date! And maybe even partini!
And we can watch Christmas movies...
It'll be ok.
After all, people grow up. We can't always have Christmas with our families.
But my sister admitted to me today that she got me for her Secret Santa, and got me sooooo much cool stuff..... and.... thats painful for me! I like stuff!
PLUS SIDE- I have time to make my moms xmas present a tiny bit better!!!

Holy snaps.
It's December. I will never understand how that happened so fast. It feels like yesterday was October...
Xmas is coming, which is my personal favorite time of the year. I love buying silly things for the people I love, wrapping the gifts up all pretty.
I love getting smashed with my family on christmas eve and playing board games.
I'm stoked that theres only something like 9 days till xmas..... hoooly eff.
Also, it has snowed big time. It doesnt snow here. I have become accustomed to the snowlessness of Victoria. And yet.... there is snow.
Which, don't get me wrong, is pretty. And there is potential for mega snow-fun.... but damn, it is COLD outside! The snow, mixed with the wind.... cuts like a knife!!

I am excited about today. After a little bit of time designated to putting on a load of laundry and washing the dishes that have amassed in me and dans little love-cave (hey, our house is COLD. its fun to sit in bed watching movies and eating foods.) Ashley and I are going to order Chinese food, drink soda pop and watch movies all the live long day. It should be glorious!

I guess I should stop procrastinating and get that load of laundry on....... because the sooner I take care of that, the sooner I can smoke my little bud and drink soda and gorge myself on chinese foooooood.

Dan leaves for tour tomorrow.
Last night he had a terrible fever/barfing thing, and I was really worried about him.
He woke me up this morning with a smile on his face feeling playful, which was good.
He was laying on my back trying to tickle me or something... when suddenly, he stopped cold.
He pushed out a fart for a laugh, as he always does (he is in love with his own farts you see)
only this one..... this one was a shart.
even more horrible, his PJ pants recently ripped in the crotch.... so the shart fell down on to.... ME!!!


OH NOES!

I was always late, you never afraid, that we could be falling
all our friends would say that maybe we should wait, but they can't see what's coming
and to this day, when everything breaks, you are the anchor that holds me

and that is why we'll always make it
how I know your face, all the ways you move, you come in, I can read you
you're my favorite book
all the things you say, the way you shift your eyes
I never knew there was someone to make me come alive

When the days are long, and the thunder with the storm, can always get me crying
you can make my bed, I'll fall into it, shattered but not lonely
"cause" I never knew a home, until I found your hands
when I'm weathered, you come to me you're my best friend

and that is why we'll always make it

how I know your face, all the ways you move, you come in, I can read you
you're my favorite book
all the things you say, the way you shift your eyes
I never knew there was someone to make me come alive

And when we're making love
I'd give everything up for your touch

How I know your face, all the ways you move, you come in, I can read you
you're my favorite book
all the things you say, the way you shift your eyes
I never knew there was someone to make me come alive

And when you go to work, all the day I wait
for you to come home, recount our time, in our little place

1,2 - 1 2 3 4

So, Dan got home from his mini-band excursion on Saturday, and we only really got to hang out for a bit. I had only gotten about 3 hours of sleep the night before (Hey, my man was away, I got pissed drunk with some lady friends, then stayed up til almost 5am drunk texting my boyfriend, then had to get up for work at 9... gross) so we hung out a little, encountered some mini-dramz that I'd rather not go into (I will just say, I am thinking of walking down to the cook st DO IT center and purchasing a LOCK for my bedroom DOOR.)and then I went to sleep, and Dan partied for a bit. Eventually he crawled into bed and we had us some cuddles.
Anyways I had to rise and shine at 9 again for work. JUUUUUUST as I was stepping out the door looking all cute, my phone rang and it was The Market. they were like "yo sars. can you close instead?" and I was all "yeah homie whatever" so then me and Dan hit the mall for a fun little adventure in consumerism!
We were looking for a pair of shoes for him, but we really didn't have any luck... so then I bought a new game for my DS (based off the most addictive computer games I have ever played....) CAKE MANIA!!! and then we stopped into HMV, and I droooooled over buying Gossip Girl season one.... OH MAN I WANT IT. but I ended up thinking "how can I justify spending $52 on that?" I know it will come down in price eventually. But then Dan and I spot all the seasons of Full House.... we've been trying to download that shit for weeks! it exists NOWHERE!
Just for fun, I was like "Ok, well if you could have any season, which would it be?" and we narrowed it down by looking at the cast photos... finally narrowing it down to season 4 and 5 (a process which took at least 7 minutes... serious business for reals) and then I figured "what the fuck" after saying no to Gossip Girl, I bought FULL HOUSE SEASON 4 for us to enjoy.
We watched 3 episodes yesterday, and I def do NOT regret spending $48 on these 26 episodes of awesome.
mmmmmm.... After that, Dan bought some thingies for his ears, he's stretching them out another gauge. mm sexy. Annnnd then Marnie and Lew met up with us for a bit while Dan and I had another of our famous Food Court Dates (seriously, we always have Food Court dates........ its kinda cute) and then we went home so I could go to work.
Its my day off. I'm spliting my time between computer, cleaning, cake mania.... trying to keep myself busy so I don't watch any Full House without Dan. We promised eachother we would not watch it if we werent together. Same thing with the game Katamari. we aren't allowed to advance the story line withtout the other person there. totes awesome.
DAN COME HOME FROM WORK SO WE CAN WATCH STEPHANIE TANNER GET GLASSSESSSS.....

Oh also. Dan just started a blog yesterday. if you want to, you should read it. its kinda cute. Acres Of Dan

Sooooo it's September... how the flippity fuck did THAT happen so fast?

August was sweet. All my little get-aways went well, except for when I got home from the family visit on the 18th I became violently ill with a fever and vomming for like 4 days. completely bed ridden and no fun. A few people think maybe I had that listeria thing? I dont remember eating any deli meats, but who knows... them shits take 17-30 days to incubate! Anyways, I'm all better now.

Our room is still a shambles, because we have to figure out how to create a balance of our things, and where to put the dresser etc etc. hopefully once the kinks get worked out, everything will be grand. I am LOVING the sleeps in my bed again.... mmm. bed. comfy comfy bed.

And my kitten is just the BEST EVAR! she's growing so fast, and we still haven't REALLY named her... we just call her Boo... but that will probably stick. And she is sooo funny. very energetic, but completley personable too! she is sucha bro cat! she loves hangin out with everyone that comes over. she's not shy at all. and she is the biggest cuddle muffin ever! I love her. you should meet her. she's FABULOUS!

Dan is out of town for the weekend for a few shows...I get to starfish it in the bed! yessss!
umumumumu.... I have no idea what else to say.... I wanna go Fall Clothes Shopping on tuesday or monday.... yeah yeah! any takers?

So, I didn't end up taking the job at Bluenotes, because I was offered a promotion at The Market... notthing against lauren, because I love her, but the people at the Market are just toootally amazing, and I really love it there so naturally I took the job! I'm still getting used to my new role, but it;s going really well.

August is like the busiest month I've had so far... I'm working a ton, and I have a few trips out of town planned... this weekend I am hoppingin the Acres van and heading up to Nanaimo for their gig with Italian Edition at The cambie... it's gonna be a gong show. My mom is coming out (she really wants to see Dans band) and I hope to get her just shittered.
The following weekend, its up to Nanaimo again for me... my Grandma, aunt, uncle and little Mac are visiting from Edmonton... and THAT always equals fun! Nichole will be coming over from Van too, with TWO kittens... one for me, and one for her. yes. I am getting a KITTEN.

I am finally ready to move on from Eligh, though I will always miss him. It seems like a good idea to have a little baby to care for and to keep me company when Dan is on tour. We have no real idea yet of how long he'll be gone, but it could be a stoooopid long time, and this way, I'll have someone to help keep the bed warm at night!

I also have to find time to move al my worldly belongings from the Emerald house to the Chambers house.... Most of it shouldn't be too hard... steal the Acres van and trailer and put everything in it. Should only be about two or 3 trips that way.... but... my BED!!! their trailer is way too small to move my bed.... and.... I dont know what to do!
I feel bad about asking Matt.... I feel like I should figure this one out on my own...

Anyways. yeah. Im super busy, but life is good. Me and Dan are doing great. People have been telling me that everything changes when you live together. I don't think that will happen for us... mostly because since we started dating, and not counting tour, I have been away from him less than 10 days. We've pretty much lived together from the day we officially became boyfriend and girlfriend. Granted, I have had my own place to go if it ever became an issue, but it never did so it's a moot point.

I dunno what else to say. busy busy.
Wish I could go to the beach.

Well, in an interesting turn of events, I have a job interview next Thursday at 5pm for the position of Store Manager at Hillside Mall Bluenotes... innnnnteresting!
I just talked to the district manager Kyla on the phone for like 10 minutes. She seems really chill and yeah. We are meeting at Mayfair Bluenotes next thursday... sooo.... hopefully I can score this job that will be full time hours and a better wage than $10/hr... don't get me wrong, I love the Market... but I am sick of being broke. I would looove to be able to have some spending money over the summer. you know?
so I guess we'll see.
Thanks Lauren :)
