Im taking the early bus to ottawa tomorrow morning. I havent been home since christmas. Time has gone by so fast, i barely noticed how long the gap between visits was becoming. I miss my family tons and i feel terrible for getting so preoccupied that id neglect to show them.
It is however nice to feel busy all the time again. Winter dragged on forever this year and despite heating things up indoors with the new bf (harhar), the cold weather really started pissing me off and made motivating myself to leave my apartment sometimes nearly impossible. Now on the other hand, i am outside getting fresh air as much as i can. Ev and i bought a bbq this week and have been cooking up summer delights non-stop (so much for project summer legs... more like project bbqchickenlegs...mmm).
Im looking forward to more hangouts, bbq parties, karaoke soirees and probable adventures with friends. I am also banking on a wilderness excursion camping trip so dont let me down friends. we have to do this for real this summer.

Its scary sometimes how quickly time goes by. Already two full months into 08 but i can practically still feel my New Years hangover.
February was a great month. I got a raise at work, adopted two gorgeous kitties, put more time into fixing up the apt which is looking better (and cleaner) every day, and started saving up for a serious summer vacation.
I have to cut this one short. My babe just called and we are going on an impromtu date.
love life.

go habs..
Last night was one for the history books!!!
Andrew (classique) and I snazzed up and headed to the Bell centre for what turned out to be an evening of food devouring and drunken cheering. I was able to overlook my slight distaste for both teams and play the part of a hockey superfan. Apparently my enthusiasm was so endearing that the dude sitting beside me couldnt resist chatting me up. What he believed to be a 'connection worth exploring further' ended with a fib about me not having a cellphone and his digits freshly inked onto my forearm. The sexy pics from our soiree are on facebook. check em out.
On that note, today has been one hell of a long recovery sesh so im off to bed.

A New Year, A Fresh Start.....go blog!
Ive had this blog for a month now and its about damn time i actually start posting. Im sick of being the creep only ever reads other people's blogs (in my defence, you guys are fairly interesting once in a while...). So here we go. First post.
I think having a blog is a pretty good idea. I used to have a Xanga (does anyone even know what that is?) and i wrote in it pretty frequently and nowadays i get a real kick out of reading through old posts and laughing at myself and the stupid shit id put on the internet. Im sure ill be doing the same with this thing in a few years, though i am much cooler now.
Im sure this blog will be a scattered mess of thoughts and ideas but id like for it to have recurring topics and themes revolving around my mega resolutions for 08. I know what youre probably thinking: "fuck new years resolutions vanessa. After 3 weeks, youll be back to your old ways and writin alllllll about em". Well friends, its been three weeks now and im still doing a pretty good job at holding em up. I should clarify however that I didnt enumerate a list of goals and objectives for the year to constantly be reviewed and revised in the hopes that the upcoming months wouldnt be a series of repeats and regrets. I think traditional new years resolution planning is rather silly, actually. Instead im adopting a lifestyle change and though its been in the works since 07, i really kicked it into high gear soon after the countdown.
Essentially, Im trying to live a healthier lifestyle. This encompasses a lot but im focusing mostly on eating better, sleeping more and going to the gym on a regular basis. I also want to work on improving my brain's health. It has undergone a great deal of torture by being subjected not only to various substances, but by having to cope with some of the people around me who have caused me grief. I am therefore going to continue weeding through my life and giving the boot to the people, places and things that i know will only work against what im trying to accomplish.
That being said, here's to a new year and the freshest start yet.
