Time	Event
5:05p	it's the little things that make me smile... Being tagged by sassy_red_head to come up with 10 of life's simple pleasures that I like most could not come at a better time... I’ve been drowning in debts and tryring not to let the fact that I can’t go to Victoria this weekend for my bro’s last weekend in BC let me down… that being said, here are the small things that bring a smile to my face, 1. walking to and from work (I must be so strange to watch as i usually jut my head around everywhere trying to look and absorb everything, I’m all about small details) 2. fruits and vegetables that are orange or yellow (new obsession: sweet peppers, mangoes, oranges, yellow zucchini) 3. when the wind blows through the trees and I’m showered in petals (this happens often, it is like a wee snowstorm) 4. the small window by my desk (although I have a killer view everywhere in my apartment this tiny window captures stanley park and half of the beach while cutting out all of the apartment buildings, I feel like I’m at the cottage or something) 5. going thrifting for vintage fabrics, ceramics and barware 6. when someone sees the beauty in me and not on me 7. having a home (after so much time travelling, sleeping on people’s couches, and putting my life on hold there is nothing more satisfying than having my OWN place to live) 8. closing my eyes in the sun, seeing red and just ‘feeling’ the spring time with one deep inhale 9. mondo gelato (my favourite is currently lime and grapefruit – you get a large half a scoop of both! Lindzay, we need to do gelato) 10. random emails/phone calls from people I love from around the world that I will never forget about (it is nice to know that they haven’t forgotten about me either!) 11. hangin' with the bro (i had to add an 11th...though it makes me sad knowing i'm missing one of my last opportunities to do so) I’m not going to tag anyone… but if you are feeling like me (a little blue and thinking about the things that are sucking right now) maybe it is time to reflect on those small things that truely make life worth living.

6:53p	Plan of action… This breaks my heart so much. Right now there are people swimming on the beach right outside my door and I can see them dancing in the water outside my window (the small one by my desk that I love so much) and here I am sussing up my resume and planning my route of action for tomorrow’s ‘Diana needs an second job’ day. This hurts much more than all the other times that I had to get a second job… Vancouver is getting more and more beautiful and I need to flip burgers to keep myself afloat. I’ve scoured the area and this is a list of places which I will be gracing with a copy of my resume tomorrow (they are all basically around the corner from my apartment), * mondo gelato (though I might eat more than serve) * cupcakes (yes, it is a store that sells ONLY CUPCAKES and the uniform is a cute t’shirt that says ‘I love cupcakes’ and a cute cupcake under it…) * italien café thingy… basically barista and cake serving. * shoppers drug mart (though I might spend entire paycheques on copious amounts of lipgloss…oh I forgot to put that on my list of things that make me happy…FRUITY LIPGLOSS) * Starbucks (yes, I did work there for 2 years already..yes, they are a megelo-american corporation…blah blah blah…working there were amongst the best years of my life and I could have better health benefits than at my day job, no joke…oh and free coffee!) * Steamrollers, yes…I think it would be really funny to work the crappiest of crap crap jobs making burritos for a living. I think it would be funny and I could pick up men who like burritos with my cool uniform which includes a white paper hat.. *cough* * Safeway… though I think this one might drive me mad Literally, the first to call with a job offer will be my lovely second job. Let fate dictate what my crap-tastic second job will be!!! Current Mood: stoned Current Music: aislers set - Chicago, New York (9 Comments | Comment on this)
