photos! ooh la la!

This was way back in October...GBS cd release...yep. Fun times. Heard "River Driver" live....ugh. Kill me now...sighh... Can't wait for February!

Afterwards, we headed to the Railway Club for the Singalong...here's Katie and Aaron hammin' it up for the camera.

Meghan and me @ The Railway Club.

Amy, me and Aaron. Okay. Those are NOT our drinks! I swear!!! Some other group was standing at the end of our table and kept leaving their drinks there, hahaha. So funny. Aaron came and thought they were ours...but they weren't! I still smiled along (ahem...had had a few LIIT's...lol.)

Jason Mraz @ the Commodore Ballroom. Such a great show!!!

This was the bag that my Mraz t-shirt came in! Ok. Confession. I really just wanted the bag (it's now framed in the hallway...). But I now love the purple t-shirt too!

Here's me (in my Mraz purple tee!) with Amy at the Bowen Island Pub....TTP were there!

Chillaxin' in the float cabin! That's Katie, Mike (the drummer when Dino is MIA), me and M.

Feeeet. (on the ferry ride home from Bowen.)

me, Katie and Amy on the ferry. hahaha.

TTP at the Raven. Yeah. Not so many pics taken that night...lol.

Today! Meg, George and me. Heehee. Such a cute pic!

finally writing again

Ok. I promise to write more often....I've just gotten lazy I think. And with moving out, I've got MUCH more on my mind than I used to. More important issues anyway. Nevermind all the other more mundane or not so much mundane, but more frivolous stuff. Like how I need new boots (but have no money), or how my crush has just been my crush for far too long (so sorry to Meg who puts up with all my mindless drivel about him...lol).

Wow....my last post was Nov.10 AND just my horoscope. Hahaha. I'm terrible! I've been pretty busy since then...saw TTP on Bowen (the float cabin was a rockin' as usual - and it was Meg's first time there! "BOWEN VIRGIN!!" I think she enjoyed herself...ahem. Can you say MASSAGE?! ANYway.......hahaha.), TTP played their last show before Christmas here this past weekend at the Raven....so fun! Everyone and their dog came out! My mom, sister, aunt - and between them they brought 6 friends - and Meg, me, Katie, Amy, Michelle....so insane. It reminded me of the Mosquito Creek days...I loved it. And I really miss those Monday nights. They were awesome. Wish TTP would do a weekly show again. Or at least Smiling Politely. I loved those shows too.

What else have I been up to....oh yeah! I went and saw Jason Mraz @ The Commodore with Meg. Sooo good! I *heart* Mraz! hehe. One of his best shows I'd been to. Hands down.

I went to the dentist! Hahaha. Nobody cares. I get it. (They did put a Starbucks right next door though...just a funny observation. lol.)

And today....I saw George! That's right. Meg and I went to see The Hour - live in Vancouver. I love George. He's so awesome...smart, cute, mature, but not too mature, loves music...must I go on? Sigh. We got our pic with him - and we wore MIK and TTP shirts. Heehee. Anyway to promote our b'ys....:)

Not too much else to say...life in North Van is fabulous...everything I expected it to be and more...I love my new store....and everyone that works there and most of the customers too....I'll try and update more...and I think I'll post some pics tonight! Yay! Everyone lovvves photos!!

ok....later people...and you know. Those of you who keep saying that I need to update more: you don't even leave comments here! I'm a bitch and I know it. :D

my horoscope for today:

A fit of boredom might stimulate your rebellious streak today, Christine. You might decide to eschew your usual tasks and chores today and go do something unusual or unexpected, such as sky-diving or bungee jumping. Don't lay a guilt trip on yourself if you decide to do this. We all need to throw caution to the wind and go for some excitement occasionally. Follow your instincts, and have fun!

Hahahaha. Okay....if I must ;)

Sorry Meg...mwahaha. No chores for moi today!

livin' the good life in north van

Well, well, well. Almost a month since I last wrote....wow.

So let's see. I've moved into the loveliest apartment on the North Shore with Meghan. It's furnished (we've got TWO couches!!!), our chairs for the dining room table are covered, we've (well, my aunt...) installed new light fixtures in the hallway, kitchen and over the table. There are photos up on our shelf of all our friends and family (I just love looking at that shelf!). The TV, dvd player and VCR are all doing their jobs...well, the TV blacks out every so often, but really, that's okay. I mean, for now. Haha. Not in the long run. But at least we still get sound (we're running the TV through the VCR, and the sound through the CD player...ooh la la!).

Our house warming party was a grand success. Some had more fun than others...ahem. Everyone came in great costumes and good spirits - thanks for the great night everyone!

Okay, so today I don't work till late, and I was in a mood to listen to my music LOUD, so I put on my jacket and grabbed my iPod and went for a walk. I was honestly hoping for a walk in the rain - not a difficult task these days - but noooo....it wasn't raining out anymore! argh! The nerve....grrr. Oh well. It was still windy and cold, and for some odd reason that was comforting. I walked for about 30 minutes just up and down some nearby streets and through a park. I must do that more often.

Last night, Meg and I went over to Amy and Katie's for dinner! It was so fun. The sisters picked me up, we went and bought the groceries needed for dinner, and then went to cook it. Meg came later on when she was done work. We had fajitas...super yummy! Amy made the rice. I cut the peppers and Katie cut the onion...and well, her finger! There was so much blood. Eww...! She still cut up the chicken though, hahaha. Amy and I were so mean, but it was so gross! LOL. After dinner, we relaxed by the fireplace and watched The Amazing Race and the Rick Mercer Report (with America's Next Top Model in commercial breaks...hehe.). Fun times. *grin*

While eating my lunch today, I was clicking through the channels and I stopped at CNN when the headline read, "Terror in Jordan". I felt sick. What had happened there?? Turns out there were bombs that went off in three American chain hotels - and I think the death count is almost at 70 now. Jordan is a special place for me, as some of you know, and it hit me really hard when I was watching this. It's amazing how some people just never really leave you...

Well, after this rather lengthy (I think...) post, I must get ready for work. It's the holiday roll out at work tonight (ie. if you go to a Starbucks tomorrow, Christmas will have arrived! No Christmas music till Nov.25th though...WHEW!) and I'm there till suuuper late (ie. 3am).

G'nite.
