♪I still haven't found what I'm looking for...♪
This blog ain't called "Rambles of my Life" for nothing. Some rambles today:
I haven't mentioned, but I was saddened at the beginning of November to find out that Bob Barker is retiring in June. Then again, he is 82 - I guess that's a good reason to retire :P I've watched Price is Right (although not as much anymore) for as long as I can remember - it's always been one of my favourite game shows (alongside Jeopardy!) But I said when I was a kid that I would be on PiR when I turned 18. Well that was 5 years ago, and I have not been yet. I'm doubting I will. While they are going to replace Bob, it just won't be the same.
~~~~~~~~~~
More friends are getting engaged! I've known (but haven't mentioned yet) for awhile that Kevin & Nina got engaged. And more recently, Em & Adam got engaged! Both of those are super-exciting, and those are two weddings that I'm not sure if I'll be invited to. We shall see :)
~~~~~~~~~~
Calgary weather is crazy. It was cold for awhile at the beginning of the month, then it got warm for about a week & a half or so, and now it's freezing. The daytime highs this weekend are around -20oC!! Oy vey!!
~~~~~~~~~~
Since the beginning of November, I finished reading 1984, read the entirety of "The Bookseller in Kabul" and am now reading "The Green Mile." 1984 was good and The Bookseller was excellent! It was non-fiction, and quite interesting to read about the life in Afghanistan. Some of it was pretty unbelievable! I'm enjoying The Green Mile so far - that was one of my favourite movies, so I'm interested to see how the book differs.
~~~~~~~~~~
Some interesting nights out this month:
- one night, we predrank, then went to a shisha lounge, then this techno-house-y type club, which wasn't busy, and it felt like we were walking into this place where everyone else knew each other. It was my first time doing shisha though, so that was interesting, and tasty :P
- last Thursday night, I had to work, then ended up going out with Sophie, Amanda, and two of their friends from work to Cowboys. Good times! However, this is now the third time that both of them met guys, and I did not. Well, no one good. I did have one weird guy dancing with me, who did PUSHUPS on the dancefloor! That was amusing :P
~~~~~~~~~~
I move back to Ontario in less than 4 weeks already! I fly home on December 19th at 6:30pm, and get in just after midnight (Ontario time) However, it's going to be a busy Christmas break. I have a few things I need to take care of at home when I get back (possibly including some Christmas shopping?) Then, we leave on December 23rd for New Hampshire, where we're spending Christmas at my sister/brother-in-law/nephew's place, along with my brother-in-law's parents (and possibly his brother & sister-in-law) We come back sometime between December 27-29 - depending on if my sister needs a baby-sitter on the 27th or 28th. Sarah's wedding is on December 30th in St Catherine's. The wedding's at 11am, then a lunch afterwards. I'm also hoping to get back to Waterloo by 6:30-7pm too, since it's also my Dad's family's Christmas gathering, so I'd like to see them. The 31st is obviously New Years Eve. It's looking like I'm going to the Stampede Corral with Amanda L & a bunch of people for a band, and some good times! Then, school starts on January 3rd - my last school term! But still, going to be a busy Christmas break!
~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes - a country bar/club for New Years! Oh man, I never used to like country, but it's growing on me. I don't like some of the older stuff, but I definitely like some of the new country. LOL.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Earlier this week, I saw teaser trailers & fan-made trailers for the next Harry Potter movie. It's coming out July 13th. ANNNNNNNND...rumour has it that the next book will come out July 7th (the 7th book on 7/7/7) The book makes me even more excited. I was practically having a mini-HP-induced orgasm the other night :P
~~~~~~~~~~~
Tonight was a chill night at home. I watched Grey's Anatomy for the first time ever - OMG! How have I NEVER watched that show?? SO GOOD!! I may definitely have to start watching it regularly. As well, then I watched CSI, which was a really good episode. I don't watch much tv, but it was a good night for television! :D
~~~~~~~~~~~
I did something that I didn't plan on doing the other day - I joined MySpace. I joined mainly b/c a friend of mine blogs there a lot, but due to some assholes, she had to set her profile to friends-only. So I got one to be able to read her blog. Whether or not I'll actually use my own site, that's too be determined still. It'd be my third site to update, plus Facebook.
~~~~~~~~~~~
I need to tell both restaurants in the next week or so that I'm done work in a few weeks. Oh how I don't look forward to that.
~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up today with a feeling of something missing. I don't know what, but I just don't feel satisfied. I just seem to get bored easily, and need some new excitement. Even though I have lots to look forward to in the next little while, I get depressed when I just sit around :S
~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm really really hoping to go to Europe in May - I've been looking into places to go, and flights, and hostels, etc. I want to do EVERYTHING though, and I know I won't be able to. However, I was talking to my buddy Calvin tonight, who's doing an exchange in Scotland from January-June, and told me I had to visit there if I go. And Ash & Blaise will be in France, so hopefully I'll be able to hook up with them there!
~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, I think it's time for bed. Hope everyone's doing well - take care, and talk to y'all sometime!
