08:54 pm - well hello livejournal...
...long time no see. I'm sorry I've neglected you so. I've done no better to myself anyway. But alas, this will all change! School is done, year one of the career is done. It's Anne time!
Step 1: get the eff in shape, for real this time
Step 2: spend more time outdoors
Step 3: plan a fun trip
Step 4: actually do all these things since you've just written them so now you're bound to them. (after all, it's the 21st century and the internet counts as a real place to write things)
and that's my update.
how are you?

09:45 pm - aHA!
I figured it out! The secret to finding motivation for jogging!
Step One: Have two weeks before you're going to a stripping class with a coworker who is turning 50 and you KNOW can show you up.
Step Two: Buy a super-cute, stripey, yet very unforgiving, clingy dress.
Step Three: Tell yourself that passing out on the sidewalk will only lead to bruises you'll have to explain in a very embarrassing manner.
and time to watch Miami Ink...maybe do some sit ups...maybe.
and question the itching sensation on my arm...odd.

12:07 am - whoa
So, I never use LJ anymore. oops
but I just spent a killer night with viv and LJ makes me think of viv, so I thought I'd post.
Dear Vivian Thomas,
I love you.
Love,
Anne.
We drank beer and ate pizza, and watched TV and played Wii and it was awesome.
Pretty much, my life is great.
I have a job.
I have free chocolate.
I have an amazing boy.
I have an amazing Viv.
I have the pretty pretty sun.
All of a sudden, my life is all different.
It's like my school life was years away, and all of a sudden, I'm a grown up and it's awesome.
wow.
crazy.
I love Viv!
Even more than beer!!

Well, like a bat out of hell it showed up.
The real world.
It's here.
And let me tell you, all those people who told us it wouldn't be as good as our youth...
Were SO WRONG!
Screw them, the real world fucking rocks!
Within the span of one week, I had interviewed for and started an internship.
Within a week and a half of interning, I was offered a job.
Yesterday I wrote my final university exam.
Today, I officially started as Account Coordinator at ACLC Inc.
And get this, I'm working on the Hershey's Canada account.
That's right, Anne is working on advertising for chocolate!!
The cabinet next to my desk has a shelf with a post-it that reads "OK to take"
You know what's on that shelf?
Chocolate!!
It just sits there, waiting to be eaten, by anyone.
Turns out, working your ass off in school really does pay off.
I couldn't be happier. Seriously.
I'm almost afraid to think of how happy I am because it feels like I might wake up soon.
Other fun things that have happened recently:
-We "took out the clients for a drink". i.e. we drank at the agency (there's a keg in the lounge, and usually a bottle of wine), then went to the Brant House and drank with the client, then I went somewhere else to meet other people and ended up going to a vodka bar with the guy who had hired me the day before, had a 3oz glass of vodka. Somehow got home and made it to work the next day for 9am.
-Went to see "Explosions in the Sky". Apparently they're a band. I wouldn't know. According to Marc: "Anne, you were the drunkest girl in Toronto that night" I had a fucking blast! I somehow got home from that one too and also made it to work for 9am the next day.
-Been to some random house parties and what not.
-Finished college AND university. (minus one essay and an internship report, but those will be done soon) Holy crap, I never thought these last two years would ever finish, but then they did.
-Found out Warped Tour is on a Saturday. Flogging Molly and Bad Religion are playing. SO STOKED!
Well, that's my update. woo.

08:27 pm - whoa
ways to make yourself realize your life is about to change:
1. Get your grad photos taken
2. Start your internship
3. Do 1. and 2. on the same day....
neat. weird, but neat.
Welcome to grown up land Anne. At least your pretty grey dress pants are comfortable.
As for other random updates
I get my life back in a few weeks, there are not enough words to express how stoked I am
I've really been enjoying the frequency of house parties lately. We should keep this up.
I really don't want to do any of my work, but I should.
I'm madly in love with the boys from Heroes. Oh my god. Really.
I watch entirely too much television instead of working.
I'm surprisingly unstressed considering the horrendous mountain of work staring at me.
I'm really looking forward to warm weather.
Spike died a little while ago. It was sad. But I'm going to get tetras soon.
I bought a huge box of Bits N Bites. So delicious.
I'm running out of things to say.
Yup, just ran out.

You know, I've got to say I'm really not a fan of getting sick when i need to do work. This constant feeling in my stomach of needing to vomit is not entertaining in the least.
However, what I have to say I am a fan of is seeing Rancid live. Two nights in a row. Because this is what I do instead of saving my money or doing my work. I think it a worth while investment.
I figure I just spent 100$ on one assignment, and now I'm going to be pushing up to 50$ on these other two I have to hand in tomorrow, I might as well do something to enjoy my money...while I still have some.
In other news, my head hurts and I don't want to work.
Shocking I know.
Luckily, this time tomorrow, I'll be finished this damn semester from hell.
I never thought I could function on so little sleep for so long, but apparently I've proven myself wrong on that account. Sleep is really rather unnecessary it would seem.
Nonetheless, I miss sleep.
I also already miss Mr. Tim Armstrong
Maybe they'll tour again on the new CD.
In fact, I insist they do.
I also insist I go see Flogging Molly on March 6th
yes, yes I insist.
I think I'll buy my tickets very soon.
I wish this had wasted more time.
I really don't want to work on my portfolio.

03:36 pm - Please please please won't you help
Ok, once again it's that time of year. You know, when I have to create an entire ad campaign.
And once again, I need your help.
Short intro:
I'm doing an awareness campaign for the rising use of crystal meth and the sponsor is PUMA.
For this campaign, I need to create a media plan. This means, I have to chose where I want to spend my $3.5 million budget,.
So, I want to know where you guys are at, that way, I know where to show you stuff.
Also, I will need to create an event of some sort, or some kind of unconventional nonsense.
(i.e. side walk drawing, stupid.ca taking over everything, andy warhol riding around in a pink car, etc)
So, if you happen to have any ideas of what you would pay attention to, or what you think might be cool, I'd love to hear what you have to say.
Criteria:
18-25 years old
that's about it.
So, if you could all please, please, please complete the following little teeny-tiny survey, it would really really help me out.
This campaign is worth 100% of my grade, so you know, it's kind of important
If you don't want to post answers to my livejournal, feel free to email me
moshing4rabies@hotmail.com
Thank you!!!

03:17 pm - so close
In 4 weeks, I will get my life back.
Wow.
It feels like 4 years away.
But I think I may be able to do it.
Maybe
Short update:
I took my nape out
it made me sad
I went trick or treating
it was awesome
We found 2 huge bags of bubble wrap
wow. sweet.
I drink a lot of coffee
I love coffee
That's enough of an update
Stand by for a survey.
One that I would really really really love for you to fill out
its for school, of course
later

11:12 pm
ok, so good news. mostly.
The lady that stole our shit was caught stealing in a No Frills today.
They opened her purse and found most of Laura's stuff (the other waitress), and a bunch of stuff from another lady.
So Laura gets just about everything but her cell phone back (which sadly costs about $400)
I only get my cell back (no IDs or anything though. ick)
Here's the part that still bugs me.
This lady took our shit in hopes of finding something valuable to HER.
With no regard for what it was.
So, this 43 year old woman stole from us.
Us, being hard working students.
She is a grown-up and clearly doesn't work that hard. We do.
She got nothing of value from me. Nothing. My things were garbage to her. Literally.
She wanted value, and got something worthless to her.
But to me, it wasn't worthless. Instead, it will cost me:
-New hair brush: $20
-New umbrella: $15
-New makeup: $10
-New license: $10
-New student ID: $10
-Birth control: $20
-Purse+wallet: $15
Total: $100
Know what I made in tips that night? $60
Luckily, it was a cheap purse and I didn't have my mp3 player or camera in there.
I almost wish I had a credit card in there, at least that way she would have kept my stuff, and I would have gotten it back.
Adding to that. My lock got changed, Laura's parents' house and car locks got changed.
Saturday night at work was spent with myself, Laura and my 2 bosses all on about 3-4 hours of sleep because we were so shaken up.
Then there is the fact that I have to waste my own free time to get: new debit card, new ID, get my phone back from the police station
I realize things could be worse and am very thankful they are not
I am simply amazed at how completely and utterly terrible people really can be
I have have been hugely inconvenienced for no reason at all
And by a fucking grown-up
I do not care what your life situation is
I work hard for the things I have
Please do not take them from me
Even if they are few and cheap
They are still mine and I have worked hard for them
That is my rant

01:19 am - grawr
Welcome to Friday night on College Street.
Sitting in the restaurant, eating pastries that our boss bought us.
The other waitress goes to check her cell phone, when...
wait...
her purse is no longer there
neither is mine
great.
Some ass hole came in and grabbed both our purses and her sweater.
Literally, 5 minutes after I checked mine.
I have now lost my cell phone and ALL my numbers.
I have no drivers license (or any other government issued ID, actually) until Monday
hopefully...
I have nothing with which they can legally give me a new ID (passport, birth certificate)
The lady at the bank was nice and gave me a new debit card, using my York card and SIN number as ID
It's just a huge annoyance and inconvenience
And now I have to waste one of my "relaxing" days, getting new IDs (including Seneca), searching for and buying a new phone and probably plan, recollecting all my phone numbers before school starts.
Not cool.
They used Laura's credit card to spend 109$ at Mac's Milk
lovely.
screw us just so you can buy a bunch of smokes
good
i hope they give you cancer, dipshit.
I need sleep.
Maybe I'll go work on that now

August 23rd, 2006
09:51 pm - hmm
So, random life update. There isn't much, I suppose, but I'm bored, so here goes nothing.
-Been going to gym a lot lately. Feel better, but still look the same. meh.
-Went to High Park with Ryan the other day. It was awesome. We walked in the forest, played with a mouse, watched a bee pollinate cool tube-y flowers, saw animals, played in the castle playground like the 5 year olds that we are.
-Really want to go see Rancid next weekend, but need to find out if I have the night off. And if I do, need to find someone who wants to go on such short notice.
-Almost done at work, THANK GOD! I'm officially over College Street and just about everything it stands for. I have most of next week off. Hopefully I'll get to see people and stuff.
-I've been thinking a lot about the future lately. What my upcoming semester holds for me. I'm excited and scared all at the same time. Hopefully T.A.-ing for Desktop Publishing again. Most likely doing a research for the Dean of the college. I'm excited at all the opportunities I'm getting. I finally feel like my hard work is paying off into something tangible, even if it is resume-style-tangible. But I think I'm just scared of letting people down. I guess I always am.
-Been thinking of the friends I've lost/forgotten about/been forgotten about. At first, I thought the latter hurt the most. Now I realize it really is for the best. Some people are not good for others, and the cleansing process has been good.
-I feel like I'm ready for something, but I don't know what. A move? A trip? A tattoo? Angus is not going back to Ireland after all, instead he's moving to Hamilton. Maybe that. Maybe not. I feel odd. I think I need to finish school finally. I think that's it. I think I'm ready to be a grown up. At least a little bit.
-I ordered a pair of shoes from the internet. Ooh. First time for everything. I could not for the life of me find a pair of shoes that I really honestly loved, which meant I wasn't going to buy anything. But then, THEN! I go into one of those Queen Street shops and see them. Beautiful, stripey, black, white. Great! I bring Sharad over on his break from FCUK to get a second approval. He falls in love too. Can I try a pair? Size 5??? Yeah right! I can't do that. The bitchy lady says the company doesn't deliver. I check the website, yes they do crazy lady! So, I now love Draven shoes, because they have given me my beautiful shoes for the year.
I guess that's about it
I guess
