I haven't really posted in a month, but a lot has happened since then.

Firstly, I'm no longer seeing Cory. One year, 5 months.

Secondly, I'm no longer on probation! I'm now a full fledged employee who requires 2 weeks notice to be laid off, haha! To celebrate my new status, I took the day off work.

Thirdly, I've made several new friends. The problem is that they're all Owen's friends. Owen is my best buddy in Winnipeg; he's also the other EIT in my work group. I see him every day, and as his friends are pretty much my friends, I see him most weekends too. We're getting to the point where we're getting a bit sick of each other, but that's another story for another day.

Fourthly, I went to the Red River Ex with a few friends. The Ex is basically a seasonal amusement park. I won a stuffed animal on Whac-a-mole that I gave to Scott, who promptly turned it into an alcoholic version of Nacho Libre.


Fifthly, I played golf for the first time. I suck at golf =(

Sixthly, I bought a bedroom and mattress set. I've been having a heck of a time getting it though. They have delivered my set twice so far, and each time pieces were damaged. The last time they tried, my headboard was dented and my dresser had defects. Also, we've been trying to move my mattress set into the bedroom, and we can't seem to get the base through the door. It's been a crazy two weeks of bedroom shenanigans.

Seventhly, I went camping in Kenora. It was a crappy day as it rained intermittently. I did meet four new folks though!

Eightly, I went to Flin Flon on a business trip. There are three interesting things about Flin Flon. One is that it's a border city. It's located in two provinces: Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The second is that it's named after a fictional character Flintabbety Flonatin from the novel The Sunless City by J.E. Preston Muddock. The third is that it's an absolutely beautiful place in the summer.

Ninethly, I love the music of Gavin DeGraw. Cop Stop is currently one of my favourite songs. I've been listening to both Chariot Stripped and the self titled album at work every day, and his voice always cheers me up. I can't wait to see him in concert. Please come to Canada Gavin DeGraw!!!

Tenthly and finally, it's Canada Day on Tuesday. Yes, I know it's a sucky day for a holiday, but like I said earlier, I'm taking tomorrow off anyway. Happy Canada Day to all the Canadians!!! I can see fireworks from my balcony already!
  

You never realise how lucky you are until you meet someone who's had it worse than you.

I'm a lucky lady.

...and 4 days away from my 26th birthday. Whoa!

Why don't I post anymore?

I need to make new friends. This is a bit difficult as I'm deliberately being very anti-social.

In case I didn't make it clear in previous posts, I'm now officially living in Winnipeg. The public transit system is half decent, but it's not exactly the most convenient way to get around. Any events that may pop up will require some sort of direct transportation, which I don't have. This means I have to rely on others to get me around, and I'm pretty sure that gets annoying after the first couple times.

So I spend a lot of time at home, which means I don't meet anyone.

*sigh*

I am suffering internet disconnectivity syndrome, and am forced to leech off the internet at the mall.
I feel so dirty.
