| ...the first beach day of summer has happened! How exciting. Yesterday it got up to 28-30 degrees so me and Larry went to White Pine for a few hours, and since it was a Wednesday afternoon it wasn't too busy. It was nice to just relax under the sun like that with him...quite nice. Took a few pictures on his camera phone, so here.
Oh, and that's one of my new summer dresses, the one I got on that shopping day with my mom. I like the colours. But yes, it was nice. Then that night, went to Anducci's for dinner with Larry, Matt, Kait, Nanessa, Tommy, Mhark, and Sabine so that was fun. Today is just dance class, then tomorrow...I'm getting my hair done again, yay! I'm so excited. I'll be there for a very long time as usual, but I can't wait to have my hair nice again...getting it trimmed (as little as possible because I love my hair long right now) and re-dyed and everything. Then, that night going out for sushi with Larry and his brother Steve so I can finally get to know him and talk to him more so that should be good.
I love summer. ♥
//edit.
Oh...and another 'finally'...I finally got my hair redone! Yay! It's the blondest I've ever been, baha...check it out. =)
And one last thing...
Haha...wow.

| ...I've gone back to using cB much more...and xanga a bit more too. And facebook has pretty much replaced a few other things, such as myspace, but I still go on there every once in awhile too. But anyways, moving on I guess.
Today wasn't so bad. I worked today, which was okay. I love working with Sheri and Sarah...they're some of my favourites. I felt so special when Sheri invited me to her birthday 'cause she's one of my closest friends at work but unfortunately I am not of legal age quite yet...damn. Ah well. After work, I went to my old Tim Horton's to grab dinner and lo and behold, Melany and Edric were working the rare weekday they usually work in a month! So that was exciting. And, as I got there, Mel had her break, and Edric let me sit in the back to eat and chat with her so that was nice to catch up and all. I missed her and Edric, they were so much fun. That's one thing I miss about Tim Horton's...I was closer to a few more people there, mind you the amount of employees there is significantly greater.
Shopping on Tuesday was nice, got lots of new stuff that mom ended up paying for, so that was good. Saw Pirates 3 twice, haha. It was amazing and Orlando + Johnny are extremely hot/amazing in it. Definitely worth seeing more than once in my opinion. I'm quite excited for this Friday since I'm getting my hair done finally so that should be good. I'll hopefully be buying Kelly Clarkson concert tickets that day as well to see her for a second time.
But that's about it for now that I feel like talking about...oh, and I took some pictures of myself for the first time in awhile, so naturally I have to post them. A few new-ish clothes in there, so yeah. Bye.

| It was here last week, but now the rain is back and I hate it. I miss summer. I miss the cruise. I miss Christina and Lindsay. I miss my vacation. I miss Larry. I miss my friends.
Sigh. Yes, I do miss a lot at the moment.
Anyways...I'm so torn about something. So, I was browsing the Harbour Dance studio's website earlier, and I saw there's another audition for Carnival Cruise Lines this August...I want to go sooo badly... but firstly, if I even made it in, my parents would never let me put off school even for only a year to go do that. Secondly, I do really want to do it, but to leave for months like that? If it were a 4 or 5 month contract maybe, but I doubt it'd work out like that. But honestly, that's what I want to do so badly...and it's driving me crazy. I want to go to the audition to see what it's like, but what if, just what if I actually made it...then what? Damn everything being so complicated.
On another note, work has been a pain. I like my job except for my manager & assistant manager. Honestly, they drive me crazy. I can't stand it. That, and I need more hours, but apparently more will come with the summer so we'll see. Depending how things go, I might just be looking for a new job in July. I'll wait it out until around then...
Back to how I started this post. I miss the sun. I really do. Technically it's my summer since I'm not in school, but with this crappy weather and all, it's just not the same. I honestly cannot wait for beach weather again and everything. But for now, the next big exciting thing is Whistler. I'm going with Larry for 2 days and 1 night at the end of June...I am soo excited. I hope it all works out though. Oh, and getting my hair done on June 1st. Finally. It's been way too long. But in the near future, hmm...tomorrow I'm going to Shawn's place to help set up his website, then hopefully hanging out with Larry. Tuesday I'm going to the mall with my mom. Hopefully she'll be in a good mood so she'll buy me stuff, haha...Wednesday is a packed day. I'm going to SFU to do a photoshoot for some promotional stuff there, then I have to rush to work, then after work, rush to my dance competitions ... and for one of them, I'm not all that confident to be honest so yeah...there's a few lifts in our ballet dance and I'm one of the people being lifted, and lately my lifters have been sucking...so hopefully all goes well at competition. This is actually a pretty good/busy week I suppose. Thursday night I'm going to Larry's and seeing Pirates of the Caribbean 3 (Yay!) and then Friday night is Amanda's graduation party. Should be fun.
Anyways, there's my update for now. Wow, I'm back on cB and Xanga lately crazy. To close off, here's a pic of me and Larry from the John Mayer concert at the beginning of May. Bye now.

| ...yet again.
Things have changed drastically in the last year is all I can say, both good and bad.
And in some ways I'm happy, and in some ways not.
But enough of the dramatics. Just got back from a wonderful vacation (which I kind of still wish I was on...) to visit Christina and Lindsay on their cruise and it was wonderful. Here's a few pictures from the many that were taken:
Fishies!
Formal night. =)
Hehe....I love this one.
Couch picture!
Oldtime Western picture!
Me and Kait on our first dinner on the cruise.
Me and Christina at dinner on formal night.
In the disco!
In Chinatown Lounge with a bunch more awesome crew people.
Linds, Kait, and me in Cozumel with our ship in the background.
Me and Kait at the crew party.
A bunch of us after the comedy-hypnotist show...the R-rated one. It was hilarious.
Us in the limo we got to take back to the Houston airport. =)
Anyways, I was going to do a detailed recap but I don't quite feel like it. Did lots of shopping, relaxing in the sun, and having fun times with the girls who were so missed. Met tons of awesome crew as well and it was fun getting VIP treatment for awhile. Got discounts, went to a crew party, saw backstage, etc...definitely lots of fun. I can't wait until they're back home and everything. But yeah, watching them on stage made me think...I would love to do something like that. Perhaps not as long a contract if possible, but I really would love to try something like that at least once if I was good enough to make it...but anyways, what else to update this with...
Xanga's become so dead yet I still have it. Obviously not as active as I used to be, but it's still here...its been practically 5 years now. Crazy, hm? Things have definitely changed since then...friends, boys, school, work...it's still so hard to believe high school is done with and that I've already finished my first year of university. My group of friends has grown and changed so much. I have a wonderful boyfriend from outside of high school. It's insane how fast time has flown by. I embrace the changes, but all the while, miss some of the memories made in those high school years.
I'm still happy with the changes (generally speaking) thats happened though...and the ones to come. That's all for now...until the next update. | | |
| Well, it's been awhile. I'll do a quick recap before saying a little announcement of sorts...
Grad ceremonies were great. I still can't believe we've technically graduated...its a strange thought. But yes, it was fun and a long day. Went out for a big dinner with people afterwards, and Adrian came too which was nice. Last week of high school wasn't bad. Skipped half of it, hah and hung out with Adrian. It was our 11 months that Thursday. =) <3 It was wonderful. Friday was our last day of classes and I only went for the 2nd half of the day and I ended up watching the World Cup during both those blocks, hah. Saturday, I had my very first shift of work at Tim Horton's. It was good...busy & tiring, but its good to be employed again at last. Sunday was my dance show...wasn't as good as I was hoping as I forgot a few costume pieces & became very stressed...ah well. Adrian & Brian came so that was quite nice. Did a bit of shopping yesterday which was nice. Got a new purse and some shoes. Yeh...bought it with some of the grad money I got. Oh yeh, got some sweet grad presents. Got my iPod video!! =D That was exciting. I'll be getting a laptop too for university, which is quite nice.
Anyways...I can't wait until provincial exams are done...then it's grad night! June 30th...I'm excited. Quite. Got my appointments for hair & makeup all set up in the morning and everything. Then after that, grad camping! I'm sooo pumped for that. But anyways...my little announcement of sorts.
I've had this xanga since grade 8, which was when I began high school, and now high school is over. This phase of my life where I felt the need to share my world online is ended I think. I don't have the same excitement for this thing as I used to...so therefore, I won't be posting much anymore, if at all. I'm sure you've noticed my lack of posting in the past while anyways...but I'm not abandoning this thing. I still love it, it just won't be used as much. I won't really bother changing layouts and posting all about what happens in my life anymore...that's all. But I will be posting about grad and grad camping, but I think those posts will really mark the end of my xanga days. I still use myspace and cB and such, but not to the extent of before. But yes, keep suscribed if you'd like since there will be the rare and occasional post in here still. So...ciao for now! =) I will leave you with a few commencement photos.
Stephanie xoxo | | |
