It was one of those dreams where nothing really happens, there's no plot or story line, nothing dramatic goes on, but it just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy.
I dreamt of sunshine and good conversation and a nice hug from a nice person.
It was so lovely and wonderful, I woke up feeling great.
But also slightly sad, because it didn't actually happen...
And also wishful, because it was all so simple and easily could happen at some point...
I've only been there two days, and I already had a small disaster.
Today, I spilled a massive amount of waffle cone mix. twice.
It was kind of hilarious actually.
There's this dispenser we use to get the right amount of batter to make a cone. First, after making a whole batch of batter and filling the dispenser to the brim, it wasn't working at all and nothing was coming out, so we had to empty it and reload it.
Then after that, the seal thing was effed. I squirted out one waffle, put the dispenser on the counter behind me, then turned to close the waffle iron, and by the time i turned back around, it had spilled out all over the counter and was oozing onto the floor.
It was a disgusting mess.
Yesterday, I had no major screw-ups or mistakes, so I think I kind of jinxed myself for today.
But, on the bright side, I managed to make two useable waffle cones (after making six non-usable ones, because they had holes in the bottom D: lol)
Aaaannd, I'm getting better at scooping the ice cream, which I was so terrible at yesterday, I actually had one person give it back to me and demand I fix it, no word of a lie.
I went out with a friend, who, for privacy reason, I shall refer to as Ginny.
We went to an awesome concert of a band I had kind of forgotten about, Mariana's Trench and watched an epic fireworks display and celebrated our Canadian-ness and the Olympic-y-ness. Uhh yeah.
The show was fantastic, and it really rekindled my love for that band.
It's been quite a while since I really listened to their music, and so was a little lost as to the lyrics of the songs they played, but I tried to sing along as best I could with the little knowledge I do have.
And of course, rocked out pretty hard to the songs that I do know, since I was a big fan not long ago.
I'll have to brush up on my knowledge of their latest album (I say latest, but it actually came out a year ago) before I go to the next concert on the 26th.
They're very talented, and their use of four part harmonies just makes my heart melt.
I just wish I could've heard them a bit better, there seemed to be some technical difficulties involving the mic.
Still a really great show, with some hilarious stage banter! Ahh, that's the best part! Segues and chit chat. So grand.
All the Olympics stuff was pretty spectacular, too.
I felt so proud to be a part of the whole thing.
There was a sense of camaraderie that was inexplicable.
Like we were all a big happy family and so proud of where come from and where we live.
It was just an all around great night.
I thoroughly enjoy spending time with Ginny, she's such a lovely girl with many interesting things to say.
Whist talking with her tonight, I told her of my love for a few things which I thought I would share here on my blog.
The first of which is Baman, Piderman.
A silly little cartoon on the internet with some cute characters and very strange plots (if you can call them that...)
So, here's the first episode I ever saw, Find Da Sandwich.
But you should really watch one of the later ones with the funny theme song!
The other thing we talked about was Pushing Daisies, an adorably quirky show about a Pie Maker who can bring dead things back to life.
Of course, there's much more to it than that, but you'll have to watch and see for yourself. (and I'm afraid I might have ruined a lot of it for Ginny, as I couldn't seem to keep my mouth shut about how much I love it. I just couldn't contain my squee!)
And lastly, a variety of YouTubers I very much enjoy.
That is all I can think of for right now... and I'm pretty tired after such an amazing night. I already had a mug of delicious white hot chocolate, so I'm feeling all cozy and ready for bed. Good night my little blog friends ^_^
(yes, I totally did just make up that word, and I'm not even sure if it works in this context, though I suppose, since I invented it, I can decide that it does and no one will be the wiser.)
Starting saturday morning, I will be working at a chocolate shop, scooping ice cream and selling chocolates.
It should be a marvelous job.
Especially since I love their marshmallow moguls! And I'm sure I'll be able to bring a few home with me ;)
And of course, I could really use the money.
Hello, New York!
I have been looking for a job for what seems like a very long time.
I've sent resumes and applications into numerous places, even went in for a few interviews, but nothing.
And now, with very little effort on my part, really, now I get the job!
It has been a while since we last communicated and since then I have undergone a very serious change.
I have become... a redhead.
Yes, that's right, I am now a ginger!
And because of this, I thought I would share the inspiration behind it all.
The lovely ladies who made me want to go red in the first place.
My redhair-spiration, if you will.
First of course, there's Hayley Williams, who has been an idol of mine for some time now.
She has had many variations of red hair over the years, all of which look stunning on her.
Next, we have Debra Messing.
A gorgeous and hilarious actress who's character, Grace Adler, on Will & Grace, will forever be in my heart.
And then we have the nerdy, yet adorable, Felicia Day.
I was first introduced to her as the quirky, sweet love interest to Neil Patrick Harris, Penny, in Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog.
I have since discovered her hilarious webseries, The Guild.
And lastly, the beautiful Julie McNiven, who of course played Anna, the angel, on Supernatural.
I met her at the convention, she's very sweet and even more pretty in person.
And there you have it!
There are a few others, whose names I don't know, I simply saw them on tv or in a movie or even on the street, and thought to myself "My GOD. That woman's hair is beautiful. I wish I could have that for my very own!" And now, I do!

I would just like to point out that these are probably the coolest set of stairs in existence.That is all.
Do you ever say something in a conversation and then the subject gets changed before you get to elaborate on what you've said?
And then what you said is just out there, floating, unexplained, so the person you were talking to doesn't really understand what you meant?
And you want to bring it up again so you can make sense of it all and not sound like an idiot, but by bringing it up a second time you look like an idiot anyway?
