Tribez and Mystery Manor
Okay. So I feel as though I need to admit it. I am an addict. An addict of gaming. Yes. I am addicted to another game, except this one doesn't have a definite ending like PvsZ did (watch the video below to see how that ended...it was soo cute/slightly disturbing!).
Anyways. The game is called Tribez, and you can play it on your iPad. Now. It makes me feel like God. Well. Kinda. It's similar to the Sims. Except you don't have to make your people go the the bathroom etc. You pretty much just build buildings and then make food, wood, stone, lumber, tile, money, and yeah. It doesn't really seem all that appealing but it really is addicting. I wake up and check my Tribe. Before I go to bed, I check my tribe... Chels is addicted too so at least I know that I am not alone.
I kinda feel like a terrible person. I got Chelsea, my mother (who got my aunt playing), and my sister (who got her boyfriend playing). I feel like I have made a chain reaction of Tribez playing. Hopefully they don't care when realize they need food to survive. FML!
I am also addicted to Mystery Manor. Another game by the same company. I hate them right now. Just hate them. It really wouldn't go over well if I talked to them about it because knowing me, this is what I would probably say. "So. Your game is killing me...I want to have a normal life. I want to socialize. But your game is so addicting its like crack cocaine. Can you do something about it? Make it something other then crack? Mmkay thanks, bye." And it would fail epically. One of these days Tribez, you will suddenly decombust like my version of DrawSomething and I will be free of you. One day you shall see....
Fuck. I need to get out more...

I'm calm...I'm like a babbling brook...
So once again I feel as though I have been neglecting this blog. And I feel really bad about it. But I hope that the rest of the summer I will be a better writer and actually try to make more than one blog entry every week. I hope. I am not going to say I promise, because that would just be heartbreaking for me when I don't make an entry.
So even though I am writing this, my mind is elsewhere. I have a one-page summary of 3 chapters due tomorrow at 1:00pm and I am almost finished. But I can't seem to get the conclusion right, or seem to make it one page. It's more like three quarters and honestly, I really really just want to repeat my first paragraph backwards like my highschool teachers taught me. The up-side down pyramid so to speak. But I know that isn't really what my professor is looking for. Even though I know that she doesn't like grading things and that she is all about the freedom of art (not kidding, that is how she actually described it) I don't feel like I should half-ass it. I still have 13 more hours before it is due, but that really isn't including my sleeping, walking to school, printing it off, while also figuring out my work schedule (I really hate it when they change it on you and you don't find out until the day before...sucky!).
Besides my class (which I still love), my summer has been pretty awesome. Chels and I have hung out everyday and watched movies and TV shows. (I'll make a list of movies/TV shows that we have watched and ones that we will watch). It's nice to just be able to chill out on the couch and not have to pay money for enjoyment. We have been walking a lot too which is really good. Saturday we walked for 5 hours. And let me tell you, I did not realize that walking could make a person this sore. But maybe it is just because I am not used to walking for five hours straight. We also ended up going for an hour and a half walk today before making dinner. I think that this will be a really great summer. I can just tell. Anyways, we walked all the way across whoop up (pictured below) to downtown where Dan and I donated blood (Chels was unable to), and then we walked all around downtown Lethbridge to clothing stores, coffee shops, etc, and of course (just for Dan) the comic book store. After that we walked back to Whoop Up and back home. After that we all ate dinner then watched X-Men: The Last Stand before deciding we wanted Blizzards. Let me tell you, we all stood up and it was just a common sigh of pain from moving again. We pretty much just waddeled out the door to DQ. And then when we got back home we watched Thor. Which I absolutely love. If I had an infinite amount of money laying around I would probably buy that movie on DVD, but alas I am poor. A Nillionaire (the definition of someone who has little to no money). Welcome to my life. =)
Well, a great summer for relaxing and hanging out and writing. For work... not so much. Last summer going back home to Calgary guaranteed me 40 hours a week. Here I am getting 12. 12. I am not kidding. And I don't really know what to do. I think my only option (if things don't pick up) is for me to find a second job... Fuck. You know, it's just really frustrating. Because I have worked there for a year and a half and yet they are giving more hours to the new employees even though I have open availability on every day except for Mondays. If I knew that they wouldn't be giving me hours to pay off some shit, I would have started looking for a second job WAY earlier. Maybe I'll talk to my manager about it.... but really, all that she talks about is the fact that her boyfriend cheated on her and how she is having a midlife crisis. Imma slap a bitch.
Anyways, I really love BriTANick on YouTube and I loved Jason Dohring in Veronica Mars so I am dying to see this movie, and thought I would show you the lovely trailer to make you want to see it! The movie is Searching for Sonny and looks fantastic. I just wish it was released all around and not in circuit!

THIS IS WHY:
To start off this post, I was going to put a video that I made that described the reasoning behind this post, but technology hates me so that wont work. Instead, I will quote what is in the video.
Yup. 53 days bitch. 53 days.
THIS IS WHY: I am excited about summer school. I started my summer course today and it was absolutely amazing. I honestly can not wait until next Monday. It was 6 hours long, and when she told us to go on our break I thought it had been 10 minutes. It was just that good. It's Merging Expressive Art and Animal Assisted Therapy and we get to draw and play with a dog all class. No joke. I cannot wait. We got to go out today and draw shadows and then write in our spirit journals. =)
THIS IS WHY: everyone should go and see the Avengers. BECAUSE IT IS FRICKEN AWESOME. Just go and see it. I have nothing to say. It is a good one for all ages. But, be sure to stay after the credits. There were 2 mini scenes. One half way through the credits and another one at the very end. However I have heard that the one at the very end is just for North American audiences, and no one has contracdicted me. So who knows. But definitely stay afterwords.
Now I am going to watch Thor. (YES! It was that good. I am going to watch every movie that I didn't watch before Avengers, just to see how amazing they are) Well. Try to... because my roommate is a deaf bitch. =) Happy days.
THIS IS WHY: I hate my roommate with a passion. A Closed Door + shitty Music = :| (dead face okay?) They have the entire apartment and I only have my room =( Why must you hate me soo much? Plus I had to walk in on them today, AWKWARD much??I had more, but seeing as there is no sound it just wouldn't make sense to put it on the quote. So instead, here is a picture to support my shitty life:

Snow Day
Today is a day when I just want to sit inside and not do anything. But instead I got to work for 8 hours and when I left work I found out that it snowed. All day. Here is the proof.
That is what I saw from my car. I was walking by myself and didn't want to stop and have people gawk at me for taking pictures. But. This is life. Well, Canadian life. One year my sister had a birthday party canceled because it snowed....She was born May 25. I just hope it doesn't snow in July. Cause that might be saddening.
But now that I am home and just relaxing by myself (because my roommate isn't here JOY) I have decided to watch Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone. And yes, I did have plans to go out (Happy Cinco de Mayo people) but honestly I just want to save up money and actually enjoy my night instead of going to the bar...no. Not the bar, the strip club. I honestly don't want to go to the strip club for the entire night and be uncomfortable. And that's what the birthday girl would want. So instead, this is me (and a props is going out to AMI):
What I am doing right now. Except with popcorn and I am secretly wishing I had m&m's to mix them with.
More posts to come, but now. You know what. I just realized in the Harry Potter Books, you never hear when they are sick. Now that I think about it you never hear about when any one is sick with the flu or something in any books. They always have Cancer or something. WTF. But now enjoy the rest of your day and I will enjoy mine.

Supena'd
I got Supena'd again. For this accident that I witnessed last year at this time. And I honestly can't remember what happened. It's ridiculous. I mean the girl is definitely guilty, but I don't understand how the prosecutor and the defense can just assume that everyone will put their life on hold just to sit and maybe be a witness to an accident. And they may not even use me. Ugh. Last time I thought I was getting arrested when my dad texted me and asked why the cops were at the front door asking for me. Heart attack in a bag. But this time it is just a phone message. So when I get back on Friday at 1 am they will have to come to my house and give me a fricken peice of paper. Now if is goes through I'll have to book off work and drive back to Calgary at the end of my summer. :( That's how my day has been since 6 o'clock tonight. Otherwise good.
No music today, hopefully next week. Taa Taa.
