Well, after almost 2 years I think it's time to move. Yep. time to move.

23 in 2
I'm 23 in 2 days.
The thought of this makes me want to vomit.
One minute I feel like I'm on track with everything, the next minute I feel like I'm falling behind everyone and everything. It's a tough battle indeed.
My dad at 23 had a 2 year old, my mom was managing a hotel, my sister was in Korea teaching and well, I'm a recent graduate who cannot drive a car, had no job prospects and a $32,000 debt to pay off. Oh yeah, real winner this one.
It just seems like I'm wasting time and that is not much fun at all. But I suppose it's okay, there are other people in my position and I have the greatest support group I could ask for. Sure they pressure me a lot and make little backhanded comments, but I know it's all in hopes that I'll keep trying.
Seriously though, 23. It's an accomplishment in itself. I'm proud of the person I am and my successes, I just can't say I'm really on the up and up with where I am in life.

She's Back!
I'd like to point out that Lykke Li is back with a new single and a b-side both of which are available for download off her website. All you need to do is sign up for her mailing list and you get both the single and the b-side for free.
Mmm free.
Now what do I think of it? The single is called "Get Some" and is going on my skank playlist, which consists of songs that make me want to be very aggressive with guys and essentially make me feel like I'm a million dollars. A playlist sampler? Well let's see, there's this song, lots of Ke$ha, Willow Smith's new song, and some Robyn among others. You now have a good idea of how it sounds.
As for the b-side, it's much slower, softer and is essentially everything a b-side is supposed to be. Both of them are fantastic songs though and both very download-able!

I've got a cold.
I'm in Waterloo for the week as you know and well, every time I'm here I get ill. I contract some horribly fascinating disease that is only attracted to my specific immune system. I should be that person studied for how different environments effect immunity. I'm that bubble child.
Approximately 72 hours after I arrived back in Canada's technology triangle I started feeling it. Oh yes, the heavy congestion, the wheezy breathing, the stuffed up nose, the intense weight in the chest, the ball in the throat. Ah, the signs of a head cold and an ENT infection.
It's like the world mocks me when I arrive back here. It infects me with an incurable disease, I lose my watcard, everything is expensive, and I have the constant reminder that I am no longer a student and that when the first years this year were born, I was in grade 1. GRADE 1!
Ugh.
It probably does not help that I drink heavily each time I'm here and participate in drinking games that require you to drink out of a communal bowl of beer.
Ah... perhaps its more lifestyle than environmental. A revelation has occurred.
