I'm sort of sad to be home though... I want to go back and have more fun in hawaii :P oooo "tell o'houra i loooovvvvvvvve her".. walmart and our awesome car! ok my times almost up.. tata

i am in honolulu! one 1/3 of my trip home complete! i had the most amazing trip!! i cant even describe how much fun it was to just wake up everyday without a plan and just.. well.. enjoy every day! but now i must ease myself into normal life.. but i am really hoping that this trip will be one that inspires me to live and feel like i did in hawaii everyday! i want to start getting out and doing things rather than being worried about money and responsibilities and what other people think.. i guess only time will tell! and i am so glad that i have another travel partner!! woohoo! we of course have many more adventures planned.. the fact that i have more than enough points to fly likely means i will be off within 6 months.. but who knows where to... any suggestions? my current thoughts are egypt or africa! anyway i cant wait to show off my sweet tan! :)

so im off to hawaii in tminus 5.5hrs.. well off to the airport.. then vancouver.. then honolulu.. then hawaii.. but you get the picture :P so i found out that lyle contacted todd about the moose work.. the moose work i campaigned hard for!!! now of course i can understand him offering it to todd and nick first.. as they worked the project last year.. so they wouldnt have to retrain.. but if i am not 3rd on the list i will be so freaking pissed! and just frustrated because seriously.. i work my ass for these projects.. i love what i do.. and all my bosses have always said i work hard, and that they love my work.. so wtf! i feel like i dont know how to play this game.. like im missing something.. or i sometimes wonder if its sexism.. ugh.. anyway.. i dont know.. its hard.. because i feel like i never know where my life is going.. i have goals but i feel like im all over the place.. ugh.. anyway i really need to go to bed.. see ya folks when i get back..

so im at the bus station in sudbury.. as i needed to take the truck i've been using back to sault ste. marie.. so this was the only way they could make it work.. i drove the truck to the soo yesterday.. stayed at a hotel there.. now im taking the bus back to timmins today.. staying in a hotel over night in timmins.. then driving my car back to toronto tomorrow... so im basically taking a tour of north/central ontario :P.. but omg i hate the bus.. its so gross... there is this lady who has been on the bus since the soo.. and she was coughing up a lunge like the whole way.. and now (despite the fact that im sitting way in a corner of the station) shes sitting like two seats down.. and still coughing up a lunge!!! ugh.. if i get sick.. im blaming this woman!! i mean seriously though.. has she not heard of the swine flu?? im pretty sure you shouldnt be traveling if your sick! anyway i hope she takes a bus before my bus.. as i am here until freaking 5:00.. uggghhh.. but i think there is a bus leaving from toronto.. and one to montreal before mine.. hopefully she gets on one of those!!! ok that is my rant.. i will be home soon!! yaaahhh... and then off to hawaii!! omg so excited.. i read my travel guide all the way down here.. tehehehe.. here i come black/green sand beaches.. clear turquoise waters.. and warm weather :) and i get to see amiramma!!!

ok folks.. so here is the question.. to go to hawaii.. or not! so right now if i spend $1500 to go to hawaii ($900 flight, $600 expenses) for 2.5 weeks I will have around $1500 left over. Plus when I get back from Hawaii I will file for EI, which will give me at least $1000/month ($500 for me, $500 for chelsea) likely it will be $1450. I will get this for at the least 6.5 months... so my mom says i should save for a rainy day.. and that i should travel when i have a full time job.. but i say that if you always wait for things in life you will be 65 and have been talking about seeing the east coast of canada for 20 years...(like my parents).. but as childish as it seems it would be hard to go without my parents support..

ok so opinions??

ssooo someone needs to come up here and teach people grammar! its driving me CRazzzZy! they say "i seens a bear the other day"..its "canadas day".. and today my landlord slipped a letter under my door saying "there is 100 more channels on the satellite" it takes all my power not to correct people!! ugh.. anyway dinner time :)

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 18:19:55 GMT

so today my boss and i went into the office.. and i got to catch up with lyle.. and then bumped into dave.. who worked at the gogama office! so kevin, dave, lyle and i went to lunch! it was so nice to talk to people that i know.. and talk about the mnr/the wildlife work going on.. made me feel a little less lonely :) which i really needed..

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 19:20:02 GMT

so my contract got extended.. yaa! but where oh where am i going to live.. argh.. i can only have this place until end of september so he can rent it to a university student.. and as a new college is opening this september apartments are going to be in short supply! i guess if push comes to shove i could do a room/board situation.. but i might talk to lyle.. because if i get the moose job.. then i might need an apartment here for the winter.. but yaa for money!!!

Sun, 07 Jun 2009 15:10:58 GMT

so i just felt like sharing that my care got broken into after a whopping 12 hrs in timmins.. i dont care what people say about toronto.. i believe its say safer than here!! so i parked in the parking garage under the days inn.. and when i came out to my car this morning all the doors were open and they stole: my ipod.. my camera.. all the change.. the cd out of my cd player.. and popped my hood.. ugh!! it just sucks knowing they were in my car.. anyway i called my parents and i went to the police.. so hopefully part of it will be covered by insurance.. but my ipod :( it had all my music on it! and now i have to listen to shitty timmins radio! and we all know how anal i am about locking my doors so i am 99% sure i locked them all.. i even remember doing a visual check.. but i dont know how they got in!! so anyway i am off to look at apartment.. fingers crossed that goes well!!

Sat, 02 May 2009 01:51:08 GMT

so i can barely get a volunteer position.. SERIOUSLY!? ugh.. so john emailed me and said he got some really good applications for the den work.. so i might not get to go.. argh!! i am just frustrated and tired right now..

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 02:58:07 GMT

soo.. i was talking to vegetarian man everyday.. he was messaging me whenever i got online.. but then i was busy all weekend.. not online much.. and now hes not talking to me.. so.. i guess thats not going anywhere :P oh well! so i talked to john (algonquin wolf dude today) and he said he probably needs another volunteer.. so hopefully i can go do that... or get a job.. i am getting kinda depressed about my job prospects.. and that SEP job steve offered me was basically insulting.. and it wouldnt even have many any money with it.. ugh.. but my horse is being really good! so at least that is keeping me happy.. anyway i think that is all :)

this is a note to all boys.. do not email a girl you don't like, but you know likes you and tell her something you did or saw makes you think of them.. and then not reply to their reply.. because it messes them up and makes them think of you.. its just cruel! especially when they stole your job!! grrrrr...

Wed, 04 Mar 2009 02:00:33 GMT

i am having a really bad day!! iv had a really bad headach for the past 2 days.. and i just feel like life is crapping on me.. working on the weekend at the barn was horrible.. they were wayyyy understaffed so i had to work like a dog to get things done.. and the top management doest even care!! they are out to lunch is my new conclusion.. i know i;m leaving there.. so whatever... but on top of that i just found out that kevin stole my job!!! that job i really wanted in timmins.. yeah he got it!!! argh!! he said he didnt want to work for the mnr.. that it would eat his soul.. and he always wanted to be outside.. and he was so for sure for sure going to australia no matter what.. well what the hell!! you stole my job! anyway.. on top of that one of the volunteers from the lynx project took over the hare project.. hello!!!!! why wouldnt they suggest me.. and then there was a full time tech position up.. and supposedly they put a bunch of our resumes up for that job.. didnt get it either.. and i got an email from a job on the net i applied to.. said 120 people applied.. and everyone was amazing.. ok well i cant compete with that.. so wtf!! im just really really frustrated.. and i feel like crap because im still single and just feel like bitching about that! on a slightly better note harley is officially mine.. yaaa! anyway i am going to go eat some espresso chocolate.. i need the endorphines..

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 02:45:38 GMT

Thu, 12 Feb 2009 21:27:22 GMT

Sun, 08 Feb 2009 19:36:49 GMT

Sat, 07 Feb 2009 21:18:31 GMT

Today at 2:00 I said good-bye to my dearest little friend of 13 years, Star. I knew he had moderate kidney failure, and today he showed me how sick he really was. So I knew it was time for him to go.. I will miss him very much...

Sat, 07 Feb 2009 03:48:21 GMT

i am having a very bad day... iv been crying soo much lately.. i feel like a total basket case!!! star is really sick... and i think i have to put him to sleep soon.. i am evidently not dealing really well with this.. he is my little baby.. i've had him since i was like 11... he was my first real pet.. and i love him so much.. i wished that pets lived forever.. i just dont want to go into the vets office and come out bawling... and this whole job thing.. and chelsea has been injured lately.. so i havent been able to really relax at the barn.. i;ve just been going to treat her and then leaving.. i miss riding.. but i really want this cut to heal properly.. so anyway.. i think i might go cry myself to sleep.. wee.. good night everyone!!

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 21:55:19 GMT

i can't take it anymore!!!!!! i just want to scream at the top of my lungs!!!! i need to know... like this is the third time i was supposed to know by the end of the week.. so i guess i just need to start applying to other jobs.. but like lyle is my main reference... so i dont know if i should be like.. hey so i have to start applying to other jobs... because i can't wait anymore?? i dont know.. anyway this sucks ASSSSSSSSSSs.....

Sun, 16 Nov 2008 05:22:18 GMT

very tired just got home.. i smell like bus.. hate screaming children and people partying on buses when i want to sleep.. hate snow storms and traffic.. also hate missing my bus because its HIDING.. kevin said hed come riding with me... said to keep in touch.. will do.. see how that goes.. sleepytime..........

Wed, 12 Nov 2008 23:38:40 GMT

hello everyone.. so im probably leaving on friday.. im excited and sad.. because i get to see you guys.. yaa.. but i really like working.. because i get to be outside.. and feel active.. and make money.. today i went to timmins and helped kevin buy some pants and winter boots.. i really enjoy spending time with him.. i feel kind of like that episode of the office when pam is being interviewed and is saying something like.. "jim and i are just friends you know.. good friends.. and our timing has just never been right.. i rejected him.. he rejected me.. you know" and i am pam.. so what i need is for jim (aka kevin) to come in and be like "hey what are you doing tonight?.. ok.. lets go have dinner"... and thats my life.. yaaa!! ok see yous soon!!

i have a headach.. fun fun.. so not much to report here.. i will definitely be home this weekend.. time to party it up! yaaa! umm.. so things here are very slow because we dont have collars or some stuff we need from the vets.. soo we have been doing a whole lot of nothing... mainly watching movies or shopping wood.. umm so in the last few days we have gotten two mortalities.. both likely avian.. as the heads were pinched off.. and i saw 2 bald eagles today.. very cool! as they are not very common around here.. oo and its started snowing.. we have probably around 2 or 3 inches accumulated on the ground.. but its really pretty! oo and i went for a walk around our lake the other day and i found an otter latrine (a place were they poop repeatedly)... which i of course thought was super cool!! they eat alot of cray fish.. so it was just little piles of shell bits and wee little claws.. and apparently my new nick name is christin-a-thor.. based on the name we use for old crappy vehicles.. slagathor.. anyway.. megan and i guess todd are comming up tomorrow.. so it wont be as quiet anymore.. i really dont want to pack up all my stuff.. but i do have a bus ticket which means that i can leave whenever i want.. so thats nice.. and i hope you are all excited about seeing me!!

i had no idea i had such brave friends :) i have honestly never told a guy i liked them.. i generally just wait until they tell me.. or they tell a friend who then tells me.. or they ask me out on a date.. anyway we shall see what happens.. our stupid rabbits keep chewing their collars off!! its very frustrating.. ooo but we did see a fox with a rabbit in its mouth.. it was so freaking cool!! i love seeing stuff like that.. it must have been a lot of work for him to kill that rabbit.. anyway not much is new here.. im pretty smelly.. and greasy.. looking forward to maybe getting a shower today.. and obama won the election.. wee.. mainly because i dont like palin or mccain.. but anyway.. im not really crazy interested in politics.. anyway i think i might work on my resume now.. i needs another job!!

i have been chopping a lot of wood lately.. i find it really relaxing.. and i think its helping to tone my arms.. two birds with one stone.. awesome!! anyway im kinda bored.. you people must send me more emails!! tehehe.. it was nice to talk to you all on saturday.. even if it was just for a short while.. we caught the cutest hare today.. atleast i thought she was super cute.. kevin didnt like her.. but thats only because she peed on him.. tehehehe.. and scratched him a few times.. she had a wee little pink nose that twitched so adorably!! anyway she got our last collar.. so i spent the rest of the day working on opening a new trap line.. also we found out today they are going to close the building we currently shower in.. bahh!! so i guess its a good thing im not working here in the winter because id be awesome stinky!! anyway.. i dont think anything else is new or interesting.. im still all gah.. but i keep thinking.. im never going to find another horseback riding, outdoorsey, trip loving, biologist!! but i will also be very embarassed/bumbed if he doesnt like me.. which is why im thinking that sending him that awesome package might work well.. because its like saying "yo i am pretty cool! and i like you.." with out the embarassment of actually having to say.. hey do you like me.. anyway some imput on that debate would be appreciated.. i love you guys and miss you!! and im so excited about the possibility of winter cottaging.. woot!
