There's been a lot of shit happen over the past 5 months. A break up A new apartment New furniture Travels to B.C and N.W.T Lost my job Visited friends and family in Ottawa, Kingston and Toronto Turned 30 Came back to Calgary, and here I am, ready to give life another go.
Kathleen Edwards is one of my fave chick singers. "It's complicated, technically I'm certified, a walking declaration, of everything I couldn't get right"
I'm so mad and pissed off right now. so here we go! I found this video tonight by accident but I love Social Distortion and it reminds me of being young and having fun. You know, when life was honest and easy going. I'm still honest and easy going. But life isn't. So fuck it. I was willing to live life sincerely, but I've become hardened to the realities of it all. I had an "I dont give a fuck" attitude in high school, which I grew up to realise wasn't appropriate for a woman, but now that I'm a woman, I realise it's the only attitude to have, otherwise you will be stomped all over like I was when I was 15 and in a Mosh Pit. Life is brutal, not fun, challenging and unrewarding for the most part.
Ok, so I had planned to start and finish "my finest hour about a year ago" Basically it was to feature all of my super good friends, in their "finest hour" Well, obviously I failed miserably since, I think, I only featured one friend, Amanda.
Let me say, I mean "Finest Hour" sarcastically. So I will continue, to embarass my friends, a year later.
Let me present Haley, in HER "My Finest Hour."
Let's clear the record here, I LOVE HALEY! She has been my bff since hmm, I was about 16 years old. Sheesh, Haley, that's a super long time! She is sweet, funny as hell, the best listener, GORGEOUS AS FUCK, creative, and just a ton of wicked. Here she is.
I have added a feature, a song that makes me think of them, and although there are quite a few that I could present at this time, I won't cause it's a little tough for me. So after really thinking about it, I came up with this song...
Free - the Martinis
Ya, s he's a dick, a nd makes t shirts with her face on them! pashaw!
She pokes Moose in the ass. Gross!
I tried to sell her once, on teh community board. FAIL, cause I was askin too much!
I wasn't askin much, sheesh!
She runs like a friggin champ!
She takes a ferry and noone wants to go with her! (cept me, obvioiusly)
She wears her underwear on the outside
Uh and then theres that time!!!!
Cute face? :)
A face only I could love???? naw!
She's kinda like Robin Hood, but hot!
Alright, well here's the real "Hales Hales tough as Nails!"
Drop-Dead_Mutha-Fuckin-Gorgeous, Folks. My BFF, Haley!
OH P.S, did I forget to mention this part?
DISCLAIMER: Once you click on this blog, you have signed your soul away, and therefore, your nasty, awesome, not so flattering pictures away. (hee hee) The people featured on "My finest hour" are my favourite peeps ever, they rock my world, I think they are attractive, funny, awesome friends, have great SENSE OF HUMOURS, and are the best people ever. SO THERE. That means they can't get pissed at me for posting, weird, gross, nasty, fucked, bad, horrible, skanky, disgusting pictures of them. HA!
Oh, Ps again, I'm sorry Haley, I really do love you, that's why I also posted some super cute pics of you. Just so peeps wouldn't think you were a total freak. HA!
STAY TUNED: For the next "Finest Hour" Featuring "Ceremony - the Kate Suppa Story", t his will take longer to create, since a ton of her finest hours are still on as I like to call them "physical pictures".
I went to Banff on Saturday with Nick, my aunt and her friend. The weather was perfect and the sky couldn't be a brighter shade of blue. Here are some pictures, taken with my iphone camera, I have to say, it takes pretty fantastic pictures!
UGH! So I haven't updated in ages! Well not ages but a while. It always goes like this:
Erin: "I'm totally going to blog more often" (saying this to myself of course) Reality: I stop blogging because my life is pretty boring and I don't have much to share.
BUT this time folks, I do.
Since my last update, I got a job. Here's the details in point form.
Positive stuff:
I work for a company that used to be part of an oil and gas company but broke off, created a new company that went into the chemical manufacturing business.
I can walk to work (and do) in 22 minutes
The office has approx 90 people
I make exactly $10,000/year MORE than I did at this time last year
I have killer benefits and investment opportunities
Everyone seems really nice
Laid back office environment
I managed to negotiate 2 days off during my first month of work
I will now have the money to have an amazing summer and hopefully leave the country before 2010, need to get a passport first though
I have something to do with my time....I guess!
The negatives, which aren't really all that negative:
I do the exact same thing I did 6 years ago, which is kind of a step back, but financially it's a step up so that's all that matters to me at this point
I am, once again probably the youngest person in the office, which means no friendship opportunities, (a girl needs friends, people!)
I will be working during the summer (I was wishing to be off for the summer, cause I haven't had a summer off since I was 16
I have to wake up at 6:15, to be at work for 8:00am, and I don't get off til 5:00pm
