Apologies for the long absence. I've been struggling to deal with several issues, the most pertinent being my ex moving back into the state and demanding half custody of my daughter. Couple that with work starting next week and being behind, my college classes finishing next week and being behind, and just other typical stressers of life, I've been rather busy. Things should calm down in the coming couple of weeks, so I'll keep you all posted.

Kori Elzix ButterBalls Kori Elzix I'm working my a** off and am super busy... Plus I go to the gym often AND I'm moving in a few weeks... As well as going to see Oasis! The greatest news of all though, is that I have lost a grand total of 90 pounds over the past year and a half!!!!! I feel amazing!!!!! That's great. smile You probably look awesome too. 90 Lbs is a lifestyle change. Now you can make it fun and everything if you haven't already like going to the beach and running around or riding your bike and everything. Thanks Butters! I don't think I look that good, but everyone else keeps telling me I do. I wish I could go to the beach, however there is no water where I live. Which blows. Sometimes, I just hate Alberta. I am having fun shopping though! Its nice to be able to go into a store and actually fit in the clothes and have them look good on me. It's great to be able to wear the clothes that I always thought were cute too. Its also nice to know that if I have to go up a size, I can... Before I couldn't do that. The best thing though, is my self esteem has raised a lot. I've busted my a** off for this body, it's not perfect and I can still stand to lose another 20 pounds, but I'm healthier and I feel so much better about myself. Its been really hard, but everything has been worth it. I also did it in a healthy way, so even when I'm not really being active, I'm not packing on pounds when I'm eating. I feel ******** amazing... I can't even help the swearing. I don't feel JUST amazing, I feel ******** amazing. I also got a promotion at work. Adding to the whole amazing factor. You're welcome and that's great. Yeah, when you do it the healthy way it's never easy but you learn more about yourself, build character, and it's easier to stay at the weight that you're at. Now, all you have to do is keep doing what you're doing. Read up on healthy things. Just don't get caught up in it and think if you eat this or that you're going to blow up like a blimp. Eat what you want, just not too much of one thing. I need to work on the whole exercising thing again. I got out of it because of school and now I have this whole chest pain ordeal. I think it's my esophagus but it hurts when I run. Puts a damper in exercising. Well, it's actually been going on for a long time... Which is bad. Anyway, finished up Anatomy with 100%. Loved the class. Went to Cypress and am going to Cypress. Tried adding Chem, teacher was... Dropped Chem. Taking Physiology and Psychology at Cypress. Applied for Ed leave last Wednesday, applied to reinstate myself Thursday. Registered for Long Beach Tuesday, didn't get anything. Trying to take Spanish, jogging, and yoga. I finished my room after spending about 7 or 800 dollars redoarranging. I'll show pictures if someone reminds me. Philippines is absolutely legit, were going. Everyone paid their ticket (Even though it was a long time ago). Going to get my BSN in Nursing and either master in Nursing with anesthesiology or become a doctor and most likely be an anesthesiologist. The worst thing I've done to myself is not give myself enough credit. Plan to do a semester abroad in Europe for Fall 2009. Plan on buying a house in 2 years when the houses plummet.

Sounds like you're figuring out a lot of things with life right now Butters.
I am super busy, per usual. Went to see Oasis last night. Oh my god. I think they are probably one of the most amazing bands I have ever seen in my life. It was absolutely incredible. I teared up a little when they sang Don't Look Back in Anger. And of course Wonderwall was epic. It was worth every cent that I paid to go. Also worth getting completely soaked going home. I'm moving out tomorrow. HOORAY!!!!! So excited. Still have to finish packing though. That's a slow process. I don't think there's that much more left to do though. At least I hope not. Just some random stuff that's kicking around my room. Going to see Backstreet Boys on Tues. Go ahead... Laugh it up. I'm excited. I'm sure it won't be as epic as Oasis, but it'll be good fun. On Sat I have to take my teens wakeboarding. Where, I don't know considering there isn't much water in Alberta... But whatever. Should be fun. I haven't seen most of my teens in a few months, so I'm looking forward to it.

Well gee, seems like the crickets are a-chirpin' 'round here lately. I can certainly say that the beginning of any school year is a busy and stressful time. Best wishes goes out to all returning students and good luck on the new year! whee

I got fired today... For no other reason than, "I think you'd be happier somewhere else." I'm pissed and upset. Where am I going to find another job that pays me that good of money?

Depending on your federal or provincial laws, there are usually safeguards against firings like that. I would suggest talking to your supervisor to see what really happened. Be prepared to hear not-so-good things, but it will either a) give you reason to get your job back, or b) give you insight on how to be a better employee.

I gained neither... They're sticking to the whole thinking I'll be happier some place else. Whatever. If that's how they want to be, I don't want to work for a company like that. Its so unprofessional.
I had an interview at a placement agency, and I told them the reason why I left my last job, because I had to. When they asked why I was let go, I told them the reason and they were like, "Are you kidding me right now?" The guy was really good about it though, said a ton of things that made me feel better. He said I'm an excellent candidate for a Jr. Admin Asst job... Which is fine by me. A job is a job at this point. He made me do some tests for Word and Excel and apparently I scored 100% on both, I type 80 WPM with like no errors. He said I'll be the easiest person he has to place. Told me to give him a call two days before I come back from Ontario and tell him to find me a job. lol. So that's what I'm going to do. Although they're trying to get me in for an interview before I leave... I'll know about that by end of day tomorrow.
I leave for Ontario in 8 days, to go to my dad's wedding. Should be interesting. Hope everyone is doing well!

In the last month and a half I managed to get a girlfriend and lose a girlfriend. She was entirely too demanding and I think she just expected too much out of me. I know I messed up a bit because it was my first really serious relationship... but she freaked out over some of the most minor things, taking them as intense personal attacks against her. The whole relationship (Friendship or otherswise) is pretty damn toxic and I'm working on getting out of it all together.

Well, there has been quite the turn-around since my last post. Had a date last night that went incredibly well. I'm extremely romantic, so it was pizza and then watching movies at my place. Date went pretty well because... let's just say that we only saw about half of the movie wink
But yeah, things seems really awesome right now. Might still be in that "HOORAY NEW RELATIONSHIP" stage, but we've got an amazing amount of stuff in common and... Yeah smile I'm feeling really good about this. She made me a bracelet too, which I thought was really sweet of her. Going to be a while before we get to go out again, though. She goes to college in South Maine, which is a few hours away. She's got like a week off at the end of the month though, so we're planning on hanging out a lot then smile
TLDR: WOOHOO!!! heart

Glad to hear things are going better for you Tirion.

hahaha... Sounds like you're pretty happy there Tirion!
My world continues to spin on... Still haven't found a permanent job. I'm doing some temp work and still have my position at the cancer foundation. The money I make at the foundation is enough to cover my rent for December... The stuff I make temping is for bills. *sigh* Sometimes being an adult sucks.
I've been out with like 8 guys in the past month and I have stumbled across a remarkable thought... I do not want to date anymore. Not for now anyway. It is exhausting. And quite frankly, I enjoy being single.
In other news... It has snowed. Multiple times. Meaning... Its freakin' cold here. I live in a basement suite and the guys upstairs control the heat. As we all know, men are notoriously warmer than women... So guess who's freezing? Yup... I am!
Ah well... I have faith that things are going to turn around soon. I hope that everyone else is doing well... Enjoying life and all that jazz!
