Mayday!

Saturday, May 5th, 2012

So, it’s May now and I’m feeling a little stressed now. My cousin’s and I want to move, we’re running out of room in our apartment. When we first moved here we thought it was nice, and large for our first home together. Now that we have furniture, we are starting to feel crowded. We have no room for storage. Our Christmas tree? That’s sitting in a box beside the couch because we have no where to put it. Our place always looks like a mess when it’s not. The kitchen really bothers me. I can’t fit my coffee maker under the counter as the cupboards are too low, we have no counter space. My Kitchen Aid mixer has to get turned on its side under the counter. And the neighbors, my God. The ones that live right below us have the most rowdiest kids ever, they’re always running around, slamming things, stomping around so loudly that our floor vibrates. Their parents aren’t any better either, they go on Skype and have the volume up so loud we can hear it, but since they’re foreign we don’t know what the Hell they’re talking about. I’ve grown used to them, I can tolerate them to a point. Now the people that live right across from us I wish strangling was legal. They are loud, at 3am the woman will come home stomp up the stairs, slam the door open and slam it shut and slam the deadbolt. Then they fight. And scream and yell. They don’t do it all the time, but when they do we are all awake.

We want to move. But the biggest problem is that no one is pet friendly. I am not getting rid of my cat, I’ve had him for 7 or 8 years now. He is my family, I cannot and will not get rid of him. I rescued him from the Humane Society, I am not putting him back. Do you think we could find a new place, that is a bit bigger, affordable that allows pets? Pff, no. It really pisses me of, what does everyone have against animals? I’ll go on sites like Kijiji and change the search so that it gives me pet friendly results. Almost all of them are wanted ads posted by people that are looking for pet friendly places. The ads I do find for houses for rent ends up being $2000+/month. That is way too much money to be paying just to rent a place. That is more than mortgage for crying out loud. Even with better paying jobs, we still can’t afford that. >_< *sigh* We kind of wanted to buy a house at one point, but that would be too expensive; besides my cousins don't know what they want to go to school for and if they need to leave the province to do so. That's just another stress thing to think about. Haha Now on to something less stressful. I'm trying to save up my money to buy a DSLR camera, Canon EOS T3i, hopefully I will get it around summer time, but I doubt it. >_< After I own a DSLR I plan on getting a tablet. An original tablet, not that stupid new iPad kind, I'm talking about the kind that came first, you know a drawing tablet. I want to get the Wacom Intuos5. My cousin just got one the other day and she said I could borrow it. I may not be able to draw, but I could do something. Maybe make some photoshop brushes?

Oh, my god! Is it really 1:40 in the morning? I best be going to sleep now, I have to get up in the morning for work.
Good night.

I need inspiration.

Thou hast updated thy site. Kind of. I added one recipe, Grandma’s Cookies. Pictures will come soon of the cookies. I’m going to add more once I find others.

My weekend at my best friend’s place was pretty great. It was nice to see her again after three months. Too bad the weather sucked and was cold and windy. Didn’t get a chance to take pictures of the river there, but there is always time during the summer. It was great, went shopping for some new clothes. We watched some movies and just had fun. I need to go to Saskatoon more often, there is so much stuff to see and do there. So many places to photograph and wonder around. Next time I go, I’m gonna go when the weather is beautiful and we can walk around outside. Driving is stressful, walking is not.

Lately I’ve been in a creative mode and have been writing a bit more, but I feel I need some inspiration. My story, Infected Night, involves werewolves, vampires, shapeshifters, witches and humans. I know there are a million books out there like that, but that’s the genre I like. Just, nothing like Twilight. Yes, I like the books and stuff but I’m not obsessed with it anymore. Sparkling vampires? Seriously? How is that even possible? Anyway, I need inspiration. I’m nearing the end, I know how it is going to end I just need to get the setting and emotion right. There is a battle that characters are preparing for. I like to try to listen to music while I write. It helps me feel kind of inspired and to be in the moment of the scene with the right music. Does anyone know of any songs that would be great for fights or wars, preparation for a war and/or emotional breakdowns? Maybe gothic instrumental songs? Or vampire or werewolf kind of songs? This is also an adult urban fantasy story. I will look up any suggestions anyone gives. :)

That is all.
*goes into writing mode*

P.S I’m looking for some affiliates! If you want to become one go here :)
