So, the happiness, surprisingly, continues!

Went Christmas shopping yesterday with the newly reinstated Visa, and, in a startlingly fitting twist of meteorological fate, it started snowing! In November! In Vancouver! And sticking!! There are incredibly geeky pictures of me with a smile a mile wide as we stood outside the mall doors in the pretty whiteness. It is, in fact, still both snowing and sticking...joy!...

Best damn day in a long time!

1) free tea from Starbucks because their debit went down

2) found my camera!

3) the bump on my industrial is FINALLY going away!

4) my Visa card got reinstated in time for Christmas shopping!

*does the naked happy dance*

I shall now go get myself dressed (mmm, all clean and nice smelling now) and head out the...

Well, I'm awake now. The reason this is remarkable is because I've been asleep, more or less, since 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, after being awake for 31 hours straight...by no means my record, but not too shabby. Of course, this wasn't an all night paper writing session, as per usual. No no, I was in line with burn_bomb, waiting for the Wii. Two things:...

Impulse control, I do not have. As evidenced by the $1600 shopping spree that our Ikea 'window shopping' trip turned into. However, it's some seriously wicked stuff. It makes me happy, and happy is good, so thus impulse is good, right? We'll go with that.

I have determined that Christmas tunes are seriously weird background music at times. Who'd a thought?

School is kicking my...

We paid the damage deposit!!! Well, part of it, all we could scrounge up by last night, but the place is ours! A beautiful brand new duplex just north of the 49 bus line to campus...and it has an ensuite to the master bedroom, and a DISHWASHER! Happiness is...

burn_bomb and I spent some considerably happy time last night and this morning perusing the Ikea...

I was a catholic schoolgirl at one point in my lifetime. When I went through my first communion, I was given a piece of stained glass with the following prayer:

God, give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage, to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference.

Courage I've got in spades. Serenity and wisdom escape me...

Okay, so today never lived up to what I was dreading after this morning's series of unfortunate events. This, I've decided, is a good thing...though I'd better not get cocky, I suppose, as it's barely past 1pm. On the bright side, here's my list of happy things:

-I'm no longer broke
-burn_bomb and I are dying hair tonight...him black, me red.
-I get my...

What a week that was.

So, I'm moving out of my place. Burn_bomb and his roommate are moving out of their place. Their one friend is moving out of her place somewhere in Alberta, and another one may be moving out of his place somewhere else in Alberta.

...and we're all moving in together! There are two parts to the thinking/feeling about this, so I'll...

Alright, so today is a little ridiculous. I don't know why, but my mind is going a million miles a minute...no, this is NOT how it always works. So here's a download of my thought process, in hopes that it will calm things down a bit:

1) I finally got my driver's license renewed, but I forgot I'd have to get a new picture. I...
