makeshift

i've had a good day. which is a nice change. my weekend was a bit of a struggle. i'm thankful for a couple of my friends and penpals :P who where listening ears when i needed to share what was on my mind and heart. i feel better after complaining a little. i considered using the word "venting" but in total honestly i was just complaining and whinning.

i woke up this morning not grumpy which again was a nice change. i immediately liked my hair and also liked my outfit. i remember my mom saying back when i was prepubescent and going through an awkward stage "when you look good you feel good". that annoyed me, there wasn't much i could do to look good. however, since then i've found that to be true. i felt beautiful today and confident that one day the clouds will clear.

beck was over tonight and we applied the first coat in my red living room. argh, i'm really not sure if i made the right decision. it looks a little bloody and blotchy right now. the guy told me that with red paint you have to wait 16 hours before applying the next coat and it'll need 2 or 3 coats. its currently still wet, and paint always dries darker. i'm sure i'll like it once its more solid, darker and there's furniture in front of it. in the mean time i'll have to suck it up and not let the chaotic state of my house bother me. i get overwhelmed by mess.

you're strange but don't change.

I have this new problem with blogs...I often skim the entry and spend more time reading the comments! Now with your site meter, I may just spend more time checking what country your visitors are from than reading anything. It's kinda eerie that I know the exact time that Joel checked your blog today when I haven't even talked to him in weeks! Or maybe you have many followers in Lousiana. I'm glad you woke up cheery today. You're a beautiful girl and if your mom is right, you should wake up happy every morning.

thanks sarah!!

i know, i think this whole site meter thing might be a bad idea. i'm like investigative reports "who's that??" i'm creeped out by myself. i'm all like "ok, collins bay... that's me" i don't know why, but its awfuly ironic since that's where i grew up. yarker is melinda (no idea why). louisana is joel. california is probably buddy. but who's oakville?? who's napanee?? who's toronto?? i think its going to drive me mental!!

Yeah. Is there no privacy anymore? So much for cyber-stalking.
