Lucky Land
So I met with my potential landlady today—things went really well! I'm definitely looking to find a job and stay here for the forseable future…!

Solstice Spending
Mmmh, I came back from shopping about an hour ago. Lovely Midnight Madness, I spent almost two hundred dollars.
What did I spend it on? (If my roomie wasn't sleeping, I'd take photos….)
I bought a --- -- ------ ---------- for said sleepy roomie, which I know she'll love.
I bought a --- --- for our floor exchange, and I'll stuff it with something small for goodies's sake.
I bought a ----, ----- ----- and ---- ------ ---- for my best friend. I walked into the store, and almost the first thing I saw was the ----, and I knew it was perfect.
I also bought myself three dresses from this store called Bali—so cute! I'll be wearing one tomorrow, bright, very bright, red, and so comfy. Perfect for rushing about, prepping for a crazy concert! The other is this lovely golden colour, and the last is a really interesting cowl-ish sweater dress, with a pattern (for me, that's huge—I rarely if ever wear patterns. Yet two of my four sweater dresses seem to have heavy patterning…. Hmm) in brown, black and other neutrally-monochromatic-but-still-a-nice-brown scheme. The brown actually is nice, a warm golden if you get close.
I still need to find Solstice gifts for one…two…three…four…five(?!) people, plus my siblings and S.
The last three will be most challenging, I think.
Or maybe the friends….
I can send cards to the 6AC, and something memento-like.
Ugh.
Why did I have to be generous (read: susceptible and complacent to the capitalist system we are all operating under) this year?!

Conflicted
I feel so conflicted lately.
I'm guilty—not writing here, not able to provide the supports for a dear friend who seems to need them.
I'm frustrated—nothing inspiring to write, a lack of words to say to said friend.
I'm hurt—can't seem to move 100% past the pain that has been dogging me for months.
I'm scared—worried for my friend, worried for my heart health (again), terrified of the abyss that is university.
I don't really know what to do right now. I'm going to remind myself to get back to blogging regularly, though.
With that on my mind, here's what I've been up to.

Pontificate
It's been a long time—too long, in fact.
I moved into my residence room today (scary!) and met my roommate, who seems pretty well matched. After the fiasco that was my OSEF matching, I was definitely needing a good pairing. We both like tea, don't drink, and have difficult-to-pronounce names. Sounds superficial, but it'll work. Our room is small, and we're both slightly on the messy side, so we've designated a room-tidy day and laid out some ground rules for us both. I haven't yet told her about my orientation, but I think it'll be okay. I'm really hoping so!
What else has gone on this month? I went back to work (I don't remember if I've already said that or not…) for three weeks, made a decent amount of cash, and have got lots of financial stuff sorted out. Hmm….
Oh! Friday night—I was loading stuff into the van, because it's a full day's drive here, and felt something on the bottom of my foot .I went to scrape it off, and misjudged it, instead lifting off the callous on the pad before my pinkie toe. I suppose, in my favour, it was my right foot. Usually this happens to my left….
Anyway, night before I leave, I busted my foot. Hurts to walk and all that—it's really a pain in the ass all around.
I feel like this blog has gone from being somewhat substantial, maybe-even-meaningful to a simple rundown of my day-to-day (or week-to-week, case in point) doings. I want to get back into some actually thought-provoking things…. Is it against internet etiquette to actually say that, though…?
My question for the day, becase I haven't done one in so long, is: how do you live with internet caps? I only get 75GB a month now, and that's costing me nearly $40 a month!! That's…almost 53¢ a gigabyte! Eep. YouTube restrictions, starting now!

Blessings
I get to do so much tomorrow…OSEF meeting, watch my brother's football game, check my sewing machine (and maybe purchase it?), watch a movie with friends….
I am damn blessed.
