There ya go...an insight into my most amazing life from A to Z.


foo kisses to all my fellow camp counsellors...and everyone else too!

not the dating type.

Let me explain. My friend carolyn (who is also my roommate) brought it up, b/c she had been discussing it with some of her other friends. They decided that some girls are the dating type, and some are the marrying type. I think i'm starting to believe it, but then another part of me disagrees.

I went to go see the notebook (again) and In Good Company today with lauren...and they both kinda made me think about the marrying aspect. I mean, take the notebook for example, even if its the movies, that is the kind of love that I want. Its the kind of love that lasts forever, and i do mean forever. There love crossed all boundaries of class, and parents and everything else. It allowed them to not have to live without eachother. and that is something powerful in itself. It caused them to never give up hope that things would work out. I want someone to grow old with.

Then in good company. Its basically all about what is important in our lives. What exactly we really live for, and discovering what that is. Eventually i want a family, and as much as i put on the brave face that i will adopt if i never find the one, the right man, i want that - i want the husband that loves me for who i am, and picks me to "be in the foxhole with" and keeps his dick in his pants the rest of the time (if you see in good company that part will make sense). Is it really too much to ask?

However, as much as that "supports" the marrying type part of the theory, we were taking the bus back, and there was this couple (obviously just dating, they weren't married), and the guy just put his head on her shoulder, and "slept" on her shoulder the whole ride. That is ALSO what i want, and more of a short term thing i guess. It was cute, and i hate to say it (and you can "kick" me for this), reminded me of something chris would do. but anyway, as much as i want to get married, i do want to date beforehand, i mean, i think i would be capable of "jumping right into it", if the right guy came along. and by jumping in i mean, that if it came up (preferable after a few years), i would marry my 1st serious boyfriend. but at the same time, i almost don't want my 1st (technical/official) boyfriend to neccessarily be the one i marry.

all i want is to find that love that will last a lifetime.

Kari and me over christmas...you can kinda see my chipped tooth - but luckily the lip is all better by the time this picture was taken!! 

Well here goes the summary (at least of the interesting parts) of christmas break.

Christmas was good, my mom had to work, but my dad was in an amazing mood so that made it better (he was actually tolerable of my brother). nothing super big/exciting for presents, but thoughtful/fun/useful things nonetheless.

For the 1st time ever i went boxing day shopping with the girls. Had a total blast, though the food court ppl were pissing me off, stealing tables from people who had been waiting for them... geeez.

Basically the only really "exciting" thing that happened was my tooth chipping fiasco. My brother wanted me to go x-country skiing with him, b/c he had new skis to try out b4 we went to canmore for a few days. We just went out on the golf course by my house and down the usual hill...except when i went down the hill *BAM* hit something and did a major face plant. I don't remember anything b/w starting down the hill and landing face down in snow that was quickly covered with blood. I scraped the bridge of my nose, the bottom of my nose, my lip (which quickly swelled to 3 times its size...that does alot for your self esteem - let me tell you) and my chin. And of course the chipped tooth, and a pretty large chip at that (almost half my tooth on the diagonal). Good times. We were leaving for canmore the next day, and was i ever a wreck. It was mostly my lip that was causing the trouble...I think it took 3 days for the swelling to go down a noticable amount. I looked like a hockey player, not even joking. I broke down completely the 2nd day...and i think that was kinda the turning point. Its kinda confusing what i was feeling, but it was basically the whole appearance thing (ie. acne) getting me down, the lip was just the last straw. So, what i'm trying to get at is that i am finally "breaking down" and starting the process of going on accutane. I'm still a little scared, but stuff that people have been saying - as in its the best thing for me to try has been sinking in i guess. I went to my derm in calgary, and she was going to refer me to someone close to the university up here, the only problem is its been more than a week and i haven't heard back.

anyway, went to sunshine twice while we were in canmore...it was amazing...the snow was awesome, though it was a little to cold for me.

sad news...i didn't even stay up till midnight on new years eve. I know its sad, but i was in canmore still, and my parents got tired and went to bed, and my brother wasn't very enthused about it, so i just went to sleep. meh. Not like anything romantic was going to happen, no guy.

Came back up to deadmonton sunday night, but i couldn't bring half the stuff i wanted to cuz i was bringing a small bag, and didn't have much room for anything other than clothes. Kinda a problem to bring more than one back when you take the bus.

Classes seem good so far, nothing super exciting yet.

Take care all. and i'm sorry to those i didn't see over the break (jacqui, kristen etc).
