                <description><![CDATA[ sorry for the rant and rave but this is nuts and i'm not sure what else to do! my recent former roomie was sick the friday before thanksgiving so he called me on his way to work to use my washroom cuz it was closer than going home. i let him come over and helped him till his gf came to pick him up. then after thanksgiving was over i called to see if he was ok, his gf finally answered the phone. first she gave me shit for a bunch of stuff that happened in the past and i told her she shouldnt worry cuz he's with her now and i just wanna make sure he's ok. then she ended up talking to me for a couple hours, which was weird, but i let her cuz she was upset about him and worried, and it seemed to make her feel better. next day i went to the hospital to visit cuz she told me thats where he was and dropped off a bday card cuz he was still sick on his bday. him and i talked for a few hours and then i went home cuz when she had come back to see him, she looked pissed off and i didnt wanna cause any trouble. then she calls me yesterday and asks me about the $$ he owes me and said she was gonna borrow some from her mom to come pay me for it, so i let her. she comes here and says "this is to pay u off to get u out of our lives" and makes a whole big spiel at me in front of my landlord! so after she left i of course sent him an email to ask him to pls tell me what's going on and that we need to talk. so this morning, she went into his email and wrote me back calling me names and accusing me of "pulling one over" on him, saying she was gonna tell him everything about the email. i said fine, show him the email, i just wanted him to know the truth about what happened and for him to contact me about what's really going on, not her! gawd he warned me she had a jealous streak , but i never imagined it was that bad. she's accusing me of being obsessed and stalking him, gimme a break! shes the one who can get into his emails, shes the one who's obsessed, not me. he was in the fucking hospital and i visited him, thats what friends do! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/frustrated.gif" width="40" height="25" alt=":frustrated:" title="frustrated" /><br /><br />now on top of it, i dunno what to do cuz i dunno what shes gonna do. i been locking my doors cuz she knows where i live, if i get a phone call and its her, i'm just gonna hang up cuz i think she may be acting on her own, i dont think hes asking her to do all this, i may be wrong but who knows? i could talk to someone about it to try and talk to him for me, and i do know ppl who can and also keep it discreet but i dunno if that'll cause more trouble or not. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/confuse.gif" width="18" height="15" alt=":confused:" title="Confused" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ well my new parttime job wasnt what i thought, its good work but its alot for one person and my boss and i arent clicking, personality-wise. there are times when shes nice and there are times when she is stand-offish and there are times when she butts when i am supposed to be working alone. i dont mine if ppl train me thats fine, but theres a line that is crossed btw training, and butting in and not letting me just do the work cuz its supposed to be a one-person show. i cant learn if i am not actually doing it by myself while she is training me ya know. plus i think part of it may be her condition, she is due for surgery soon and is on pain killers so it might be partly stress from that. but i'm not sure. even if the woman has a day off, shes there cuz shes the "house-mother" so shes a live-in worker at a senior home of 12 residents. i dunno if i could relate to that lifestyle, i couldnt even put myself in her place. its just not me i guess. good thing is i got offerred another job that i could take instead, it would be at the cridge center where i already work on-call. it would be parttime weekends like the other one, so it can replace it. great wages and the hours are a bit better, nighttime, late night kinda thing. i'd be doing light housekeeping and security. i had applied for this particular job a long time ago but didnt get it and thats why i ended up on call, so why not try again. we'll see what happens.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ well i'm all moved in now, and i'm still unpacking but its going well. i love all the space i have! the puppies are almost all gone, only one left. his name will be scout, he's so sweet, he cuddles 24/7. i introduced Gizmo (my himalayan) to all the dogs so far and they dont seem to mind her. there are 3 dogs here, all girls. a shih-tzu named Missy, a cocker spaniel/shepherd cross named Penny and black lab/basset hound/mutt named Blue. Blue was the puppies' mom. They hope to breed Missy next but they haven't gotten any takers yet. they hope to breed her with a long-haired chihuahua to see what comes up lol. the mice and rats went to a good home yesterday. all thats left is two noley (sp?) lizards, 5 cats, the 3 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, 4 chickens and 2 daegus. all of which are staying, except they are trying to find a good home for Penny cuz she's getting old. these guys used to foster animals for the spca so they're used to all this. i'm gonna take pics once my room is all unpacked. its gonna look so cool. i got my own phone and i will have internet soon, sitting at serious coffee for now. toodles!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ i find that now i have a regular jewelry business, i get the most interesting compliments. my most common is usually "these are beautiful" or "gorgeous". <br /><br />the funny thing is young girls as young as 4 were pointing out that the pretty ones were the necklaces with huge pot leaves. of course the parents would raise an eyebrow and i'd snicker a bit and comment "well that's what they're made from" just to make the situation easier. <br /><br />on friday night i had one guy say "these are sick! all of these are sick" and "this is so sick". of course "sick" now means "awesome" or "cool" so i was flattered. he even bought one and has been wearing it every day. i see people wandering around town who have bought an item still wearing it daily. i go to the hemp stores where my stuff is being sold and they have it displayed on the mannequins, not just on the jewelry wall, and even in the front window facing the street. the stores are selling like crazy and i have to refill them next week. the markets are just as busy if not more so. <br /><br />i'm even getting all ages of people into them. there have been many customers over 50 yrs old buying things or at least not buying but kicking themselves when they didn't. and to think a boutique in parksville turned me down cuz they were afraid they wouldnt sell, lol.<br /><br />i just had my first email from a potential customer (not a store, cuz only stores usually email me) who saw my stuff on canada day and got my email from their friend and they said they wanted to order one cuz they thought my necklaces were the coolest things ever! as marge simpson once said "i feel a swoon coming on" lol. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well 3 stores have stuff currently, "The Red Door" in Qualicum has had stuff for a couple years, but I recently gave them new stuff. "Hemp & Co." used to just carry keychains & dog collars from me but now they carry my jewelry in both locations. "Avalon" currently has 20 necklaces and they want bracelets, but I'm still working on them. <br /><br />I have applied to a store in Courtenay called "Incognito" and am awaiting their reply. I applied to another store here called "Whirled Arts" but they are currently full, and also "Self-Heal Herbs" but they said they're too slow right now and it would be just wasting my time, but they really loved my stuff so they will keep in touch. I also applied to one called "Good Planet Co." and am awaiting a reply. Today I stopped in at "Green Village" in Sidney and they will let me know by the end of the week. "Sacred Herb" definitely wants stuff around the middle of the month and "Trippy's Emporium" wants stuff later on in the summer. "Dragon Horse" in Sidney wants to see me in mid-july. <br /><br />As for the markets, I am at the James Bay Market so far and am making about the same every week which is ok, it should get busier as the summer progresses. I am also joining the Inner Harbour Night Market later on. I still dont know about "Fiber Options" which is a store I used to supply a long time ago, apparently they are learning a new bar code system so they've been pretty busy. Oh well my jewelry is getting spread around alot anyway, lol. My fingers are getting so rough, it's insane! I'm making jewelry every day and loving it! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /><br /><br />ps: join Hooked on Hemp on facebook and become a fan!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well Hemp & Co took enough for both stores, Sacred Herb wants to buy stuff in 2-3 weeks, Trippy's Emporium is a new store on my list and they want to see me BEFORE Sacred Herb does, Fiber Options I have to call and see, Whirled Arts is another newbie on the list and they just got emailed pics and will be making an appt with me. Avalon got their order today of 19 necklaces so far and they gave me stone pendants to make more plus they want bracelets! I gotta make more for the market so I can keep up on my independent sales. This is insane, but so cool, my jewelry hasn't been this popular in years! Stores are actually competing over who gets what pieces, wtf?! I even had the motivation to create a Facebook group, so join Hooked On Hemp and become a fan! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/m/mwahaha.gif" width="29" height="15" alt=":evillaugh:" title="EVIL Laughter!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well I went to all the hemp stores in the downtown area and it turns out none of them carry hemp jewelry anymore. So I walk in with my bag of treasures to show them and they are wowed to the hilt. They tell me the stuff they usually see looks as if it was made by 2-year-olds in some sweatshop so they loved my stuff! One store took some items right away, one took some samples to show her boss and may take more if they approve, another was an old store I used to supply years ago that will take me back once they get in touch with their boss too, and that last store said come back in 2 weeks when they redo their inventory and they'll definitely take some! My theory is they got sick of seeing cheap stuff and just stopped carrying it cuz it wasn't selling, great timing for me. Alot of ppl make it, but not very many are as serious as I am about selling it I guess. So it may turn out that I end up being the only hemp jewelry supplier in town. F@*#! I have alot of stuff to weave if I want to supply 4 local stores (one with 2 locations), 1 store out of town, and my table at the summer markets! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/new.gif" width="30" height="27" alt=":new:" title="New" /> <br />the one that took some samples to show her boss said she told her boss about it and the boss approves and mainly wants necklaces that features semi-precious stones and spiritual symbols and that's fine cuz i have tons like that! i'm gonna drop by them on monday with some stuff for them to take right away!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ worked another market this time under a shared tent with some herbal lady. made the same profit as last week but had more fun doing it cuz i didnt get sunburnt and one of the buyers gave me a really cool necklace to make from the beads she picked out. she also said she'd get all her friends over next time too! i worked a few shifts at the vegetable plant which was actually good cuz i stayed out of the sun and kept cool in the refridgerated warehouse. the esquimalt house got a new dishwasher that does loads in under 3mins! only bad thing was the electrician didnt wire it properly so the front panel got burnt! it got replaced and wired correctly so we can go back to using it again. the center is closed so i spent the day at a staff meeting and re-organizing the freezers. i had one half-shift at the cridge, went home due to heat stroke, eep. had a throat infection for awhile too, not a great week health-wise. gizmo had to go to the vet for various reasons, mainly peeing on the floor and the couch. turns out i had to use this special litter to give her a urine test and they also found out she had an ear infection so i got these really expensive drops! hope the urine test turns out ok, but for now shes staying in my room cuz i have to re-train her either way. must pee in the box gizmo! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shakefist.gif" width="24" height="18" alt=":shakefist:" title="CURSE YOU!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Had my first day at the markets today and did pretty well. I had to spend it all on groceries and breakfast and table rent for next week, but next time I'll be able to keep my profits. It's just this time we were desperate for things like cat food, etc. People were telling me they don't see hemp jewelry anymore and have been looking for it, so that's cool. And they don't mind my new price range either. I got really sunburnt though so next time I am bringing my umbrella and some sunscreen. The lady next to me told me about a night market I should join on Friday and Saturday nights later on in the summer. She's gonna bring the the phone number for me next time so I can call them. It's always really busy, so I should make mucho deniero there. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My EI claim has been having its ups and downs, but hopefully it'll work out in the end. I did a weekend orientation at the Cridge Center and found out an old friend/co-worker of mine works there too. Islands West called me and offerred me a job 3 shifts per week and I am trying out for it on Friday. If they like my style, I'll be a "potato-head"! Which means I'll be peeling and bagging spuds. I'll still have time to be on call for the Cridge and work the Esquimalt House on Wednesdays. I'll still have time for clinic, and on top of that, I'll still have time to do markets on Thursday nights, Saturday daytimes. I may join another market that will be on Sundays in July, but that's only if she takes me on. So far I just have James Bay area on Saturdays and I will have Sidney on Thursday nights in the next while. I got myself a folding portable table, it's light to carry cuz it's aluminium, and Mom is bringing me a chair. Those items and all my jewelry supplies and merchandise I`ll be able to carry on a bus! Go me <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" />! If all this works out, I`m gonna be pretty busy, but it`s all good. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ i got a job as a relief worker for the cridge centre in housekeeping, my orientation is tuesday. its not regular work but its good pay. my hemp jewelry has been selling better locally and in stores better than here and no one has commissioned me yet for tarot readings, but i am not giving up hope. since i have a casual job i can sell jewelry at the markets in my spare time. they usually sell pretty well there. my fingers are so calloused, lol. i been getting great deals on ebay for beads and charms, way better than in bead stores cuz its wholesale! other than that i sold a few of my ebay items and i applied for EI so i get paid for the time when i was unemployed or had lack of work. i entered the "kick your own ass contest", thought it would be cool since i have been known to do that on occasion lol. all in all things have been ok recently.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Just an entry dedicated to pimpin' myself, so please pass it onto your friends! Here is my Ebay page: <a href="http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/valdiesh">[link]</a> . There is alot to bid on, mostly collectibles, and even a reading. I have posted hemp jewelry for sale in my gallery, those pieces can be seen here: <a href="http://cypris-quynh.deviantart.com/gallery/">[link]</a> . There are 12 of them so far, but trust me there will be more, I am making them like crazy! The necklaces that are already made are $18 CAN each plus shipping. If I get some bracelets & anklets posted, those will be $8 or $10 depending on what's on them and what size they are. <br /><br />I am open for commissions on hemp jewelry! You tell me what you want on it (what type of pendants and beads, what colors, etc.) what weave you want (basic flat weave, twisted or chunky). Hemp will have to be natural cuz I am running very low on black, but you can choose to have thicker hemp, I have some of that left although I do warn you that if you choose thick hemp, please choose big-holed beads cuz other ones will not fit. The price of your item will depend on size, pendants/beads chosen, and labor. Shipping will be added on top. You can get me to make necklaces/chokers (prices $15-$20), bracelets/anklets ($8-$10) and keychains ($5). <br /><br />In addition to auctioning off a reading on Ebay, I am also open for commssions to do tarot readings! The price of the reading will depend on how many cards are dealt and there are a number of spreads I can do, the list is on my Ebay ad <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=250405361742">[link]</a> . No shipping cost unless you want a print-out, the reading will be sent to you by email. Payment for any commission is done thru paypal. Prices $15-$50.<br /><br />Please commission me or bid on my stuff, and if you can't do that, pimp me! I need the money since no one has hired me yet and I'm gonna have to go on EI <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ still hunting for a job. got two more call-backs that i have to reply to later. one from a restaraunt and one from a mens clothing store. i have a third job to apply to, i figure i'd call them after 10ish. i gotta package to pick up at the post office but since none of my ordered stuff could possibly be coming in for the next 2 weeks, it confuses me. i wonder what it is...better not be another phone book lol. last time they made a big deal for me to go to the post office with picture ID and all and it ended up being just a new phone book. we didn't need one though cuz our building had some downstairs. i pretty much finished my pic of my cousin kate, still dont know when to give it to her mom & dad. kate's birthday or xmas...mom was saying i should give it on anita's (kate's mom)bday, but i never give her anything big, just usually something just for her. this is more of a family thing. i was thinking of xmas cuz i gave them the first one on xmas too, kate's first one when she was still a newborn. so yeh, maybe then but its a long wait, lol. i know i started early either way but eh when you're in the right mood, u gotta draw. erg i hope i get a job soon, i am so bored not being employed....<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ i am still job hunting, even posted my resume on a few sites. got back a ton of replies, mostly scams though, pisses me off! i got an interview from one on tuesday that is for real. might even join the mystery shoppers, see how it goes. there will be more to apply to on monday for sure. i am good for rent and bills though thank goodness, i had put $$ away just in case that would happen. <br /><br />finally did my taxes, i am getting a pretty good refund, yeah go me! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /> i am enjoying my prints account so far, my sweetie and i wanna order magnets for the fridge, very kewl. still looking for a table & chairs for the kitchen, no luck yet, but there are lots for sale. <br /><br />i got into a drawing mood a few days ago and started on another project of my little cousin. now that she's over a year old, i thought i'd do another portrait. its cool to have a close family member to do portraits of as they grow up. i figure i'd do one every few years so it shows actual change in her looks and stuff. i did one of her as a baby <a href="http://cypris-quynh.deviantart.com/art/Baby-Kate-Finished-Project-74770161">[link]</a> for their first xmas with her and now this one here <a href="http://cypris-quynh.deviantart.com/art/Kate-1-5-yrs-old-WIP-117433732">[link]</a> she is a year and 1/2. its still a WIP, i need different pencils cuz it's a very light pic when i converted it to grayscale to view it and all i have are B range pencils, erg. <br /><br />of course it needs more work, but i am happy with it so far. all i cant figure out is when to give it to them, on her 2nd birthday which is in october, or on xmas again...hmmm, any ideas? lemme know what u think.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ we got furniture, well mostly. living room stuff for now, but we still need a table and chairs for the dining area, not that we really use it much lol. i'm starting to feel at home now, just have to finish unpacking my room. actually my guy and our cats feel really at home. the cats get along suprisingly well, its so cute. work is being a pain to bus to now that i dont live beside it anymore. oh well my schedule will improve when i start clinic. i cant wait to start clinic, i miss poking pins in ppl. and just being able to look and be professional. i also hope the wholesale will have space soon to hire me back. one of my buddies there says they need me badly but its not up to him to decide so i just told him to hint it to the boss for me. other than that everything is coming up milhouse. cats are working out, money is working out, phone and net hooked up finally, work is ok, furniture is coming along and decorating and setting up things has become fun actually. i like cooking and baking in the new kitchen with my own stuff again, i miss that. made some awesome muffins the other night, my guy seems to eat 2-3 a day lol. with almost any place i had hoped to stay as long as i possibly could, but there were a few exceptions of course, places that i couldn't stand, ppl that i couldn't stand either. this one i want to stay in a long time, dunno how long that will be, but one can never calculate that. shit happens after all, i'm not trying to jinx this place, just that's the truth ya know. but yeh i wanna stay here a couple years at least, now that i'm feeling more comfortable. get my license done finally and work in a clinic for real, not just for practice. yep things are starting to go right for now. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ well i am moved again, i was at the old place for a year roughly which to me is a long time, hopefully i get to stay in the new one a lil longer. the 3 cats, my 2 and his 1, are actually getting along better than we thought, just a few hissy fits, no physical fights. they actually share a bed which is cute. i gotta spend today unpacking a bit and waiting for my guy's furniture delivery. he's outta town on work so i gotta help the furniture get into the place. the living room and his room will look less empty later hopefully. only thing bothering me is my damn phone. they were supposed to have it hooked up yesterday but they said something went wrong and they have to post a "trouble ticket" and it should be fixed by 5pm today. i told them the furniture store has to be able to phone us cuz our buzzer wont be hooked up till our phone is working, so we are stuck. they said they'd fix it as fast as they can, so i am hoping the easy home truck will be visible or at least honk the horn at me.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ we settled on a place, but we want to negotiate the rent cuz we've seen others just as nice and having the same perks, but bigger and cheaper. so hopefully we can take the rent down a couple pegs. i am so fucking sore and tired i can barely move, but its nothing that a nice hot bath won't cure, only problem is the effects maybe last a couple hours and then my feeling comes back. my job is ok, its pretty easy though, a 10 year old could do it standing on a footstool. well not many 10 year olds these days, i mean one from when i was a kid, ya know when kids were more active, lol. my old job at the wholesale said they would take me back thank goodness, so when i move i wont have to worry. my current job is ok, but my old one did pay me more and had better benefits, plus it will be closer. oh well now onto more packing...<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/new.gif" width="30" height="27" alt=":new:" title="New" /><br />we couldnt talk him down in rent but he did give us a deal on the deposits so that was cool!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ i got the job at the veggie plant, easiest in the world all u do is take already-filled bags of veggies and place them into the sealing machine and close the lid, then label them and box them. so monotonous but not too bad tho. easiest money i ever made, lol. although the problem now is it may only be temporary. i wont mess with details cuz they're no one's business but our lease is being taken over and now i have to move again! none of it was my fault tho, but shit happens. my guy also needs a place so we're looking for a house, it seems eaiser on both of us. i already wrote the wholesale in hopes they'll take me back so i can have a job thats close to home and school again. the veggie plant is good money for now, but once i move i wont be near them anymore and its too far to bus.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ i been looking for another job cuz the one that hired me needed someone in that part of town cuz i cant stay till 1am. it was nice while it lasted. i made an awesome pot of chili at the esquimalt house where i do still work one day a week. everyone loved it and had seconds. i do have an interview today at pizza hut and it could be something neat, but who knows. all i want is a job with a reasonable wage, evening/weekend hours and benefits. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /><br /><br />EDIT: pizza hut was a bust, anyone who still pays under $9/hr is obviously looking for highschool students, i cant live off that sorry. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br />EDIT AGAIN:  my roomie needed someone to replace her old job at the veggie processing plant next door so i went and talked to the manager and i got it. i hope it works out cuz i do need the work. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/please.gif" width="15" height="22" alt=":please:" title="Please" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ xmas didnt really come this year for me cuz everyone upisland was snowed in. i spent some of it hanging out with my sweetie and some of it at home with the cats watching star trek movie marathon. chinese food was my xmas dinner, took a hell of a long time to get to my place but i finally got to eat it. i didnt miss much at xmas dinner according to mom, but i did miss seeing my family. mom i see every few months, dad maybe twice a year, but everyone else i only see at xmas. fucking sux i couldnt go this time. mom is coming tomorrow to drop off my gifts though. dad and his wife's family are having their dinner on sunday and i am most likely not going so his plan b is that he might visit next month. that will depend on work. i'm hoping to get a new job by the end of next month cuz i need one closer to home or clinic. i start clinic in spring/summer and i dont mind my current job but its too demanding and its not close to anything. not much else to write for now, i will write another entry after mom leaves. hope u all had a good holiday, or at least an interesting one to tell stories about.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ well tomorrow maybe the first xmas i DON'T spend with my family. due to bad weather and road conditions, i may stay in town and wait till mom can come see me on her own later in january. oh well i shouldn't feel bad, my cousin and her family aren't going and if nanaimo is bad my brother and his wife aren't either. sucks to be us but we don't wanna risk our necks just to get home for xmas. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shakefist.gif" width="24" height="18" alt=":shakefist:" title="CURSE YOU!" /><br /><br />ps: exam results came back negative, gotta do this again next fall. but with the fact that they changed the layout around mid-late september and then edited it 2 weeks before again didn't prepare us very well so thats one reason why myself and others may not have passed. other than that my needles were expired so that may have cost me a huge chunk of my mark. fuckers, oh well i have time, basically i will use as many redos as i need to get this license done, but i'm hoping now that i fully know what to expect in this new layout, that i will pass it during one of the next couple of tries. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ we got our 15cms last night and it was nuts. the roads were horrendous (sp?). i almost didnt have to go into work today but then my boss called back and complained saying he really needs me this month and to "come in tonight, or don't come back at all". man if i knew this job was that demanding i wouldnt have bothered cuz thats just too much stress on my part. i understand he's understaffed but if i cant always make it out there due to weather/road conditions or illness, well there's not much to be done about it. he's even had me work while being ill and drinking lots of pepto bismol so, yeh anyway. it almost affected my exam week till i spoke up and said "i cant have any schedule changes that week due to exams, nothing can be done about it, they're already set in motion". i tell ya, i should've backed out when i could, but when i tried to transfer to the beer & wine, that plan got ruined too cuz apparently they couldn't let me go yet due to understaffing. now he's threatening to let me go, so i'm gonna have to stick it out for the rest of the month and into new years. maybe he'll lay me off after that and i can find a less demanding job that is actually in my area of town or at least easier to get to, cuz that one's in the middle of nowhere. i had no idea what i was getting into, but i can see why not many are applying to work there, it's the location. maybe by the new year i'll have my exam results and can get a job in a clinic or a TCM school cuz they were supposed to post the results before xmas but the website says the offices are closed till the 29th so i'm not sure any more. they might post them in january sometime. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ sooo cooold! had to force my way in the door this morning, whoever put a sliding door as the only entrance/exit to a suite should be dragged out into the street and shot. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shakefist.gif" width="24" height="18" alt=":shakefist:" title="CURSE YOU!" /><br />the tracks of the door have ice in them so i have to force it open and closed and it almost comes off balance sometimes. this is not safe. i was kinda trapped for over half the day, so i told work i couldn't come all the way out there. they were very understanding. there are buses but they are way behind schedule and the routes were limited due to icy roads. tomorrow is supposed to be a lil warmer but we're getting more snow on wednesday and its supposed to freeze again. eeep! i should make it to work tomorrow but i'm gonna have to get a ride home, i wont be able to make it to the bus that late. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> <br />(unless my door freezes again, fuckers!)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ trying to get back into my old routine is hard. i was in my apprenticeship all spring and summer and then i studied alot till i did my exams. my spare time used to be filled with stuff like hemp weaving, reading, watching anime, swimming/walking, and other stuff. now i cant seem to get myself re-interested in all that. it suprized me but frankly it doesnt bother me. i guess i'll get back into those things when i actually have the motivation for them bit by bit. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ well all in all my trip to richmond/vancouver was pretty good. i had a good time but my exam was more stressful that i thought it would be. i felt relaxed going in but when i got around to actually doing the demonstration part, my hands were really shaky. good thing they dont dock marks for stage fright, lol. they said i did a very good job and followed the instructions properly but then they checked my needles and it turned out they were expired. i never realized this when i was preparing my kit before i left and these ones were the only ones i found that met the kit requirements (individually wrapped with their own tubes) which was what i told the examiners. they said i may be docked marks for that one slip-up but it shouldnt affect the whole exam since i did such a good job. but its not up to them, they just observe and write notes, the exam co-ordinators are the ones who decide my fate. the written part went better, i still had shaky hands so my handwriting was difficult but i got thru it and answered every one. i think i got at least 8 of them correct, maybe more, who knows, all i know is i need at least 60% to pass the written part and that part is pretty much marked by professional scorekeepers that they hire from UBC faculty. tried to call in a sick day when i got back but i dont know if my supervisor is understanding just how mentally and physically drained i feel. she said i was becoming habitual, but i reminded her the last few recent times i tried calling in sick, i showed up anyway and worked even tho i was sick each time, so they shouldnt count. i never really got those times off. this exam has taken alot out of me, even more than the studying and preparation did, i really need to stay home today. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ i know it used to be "off to van", more specifically, burnaby, but my exam has not only changed its layout and been revised several times but now it has been moved to richmond at UBC. and so off i go, again. its a redo but still new cuz they revised it completely different this time as i have described. this should be interesting and as easy as i predict it to be. i get to use my employee discount for the first time and rent a hotel room for half price. i'm not booked till sunday morning so i am spending tomorrow running errands and reviewing my notes. wish me luck! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ worked part of a night shift last night at the b&w store, got to experience nightlife on the reserve. there were some ppl who came back several times to buy more stuff, no suprize there. i worked in the back mostly cuz Sue, my co-worker had injured herself the other day by having a palate fall against her leg, the wound was superficial but still needed 7 stitches. ouch! anyway my job that night was mostly stockperson, reloading the coolers as needed and the shelves outside in the store. <br /><br />gizmo is getting better day by day. i think the ailments were mostly in her head cuz she is what my bf likes to call an "emo-kitty". shes always so anxious and nervous yet loving and needy, if you can relate to that type. so besides the advantage to rule out fleas, not that she had any in the first place, i told my roomies to make sure she got extra love. and what do u know, it worked, her hair grew back rapidly. and it still is all the time now, shes getting back to her old fluffy self. <br /><br />today i was expecting to work but i have the day off and so i'm gonna study some more. i was trying to see what my bf was up to but i think he slept in, he's in a service call, or he's out of area. either way its a nice day out and i'm bored, and still tired, maybe i'd better go back to bed for a bit longer. i may even go to the store and conquer my grocery list, now that i've been paid. mwahahahaha <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/mwahaha.gif" width="29" height="15" alt=":evillaugh:" title="EVIL Laughter!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ my blue himalayan is more 'blue' than usual, poor thing has a skin infection that made her lose so much hair and shes not happy. it might, emphasis on might, be fleas, but we found only one and it was while in the vet office so it could've been picked up anytime. for now we got her advantage just to rule it out and the other kitties will get it too and then the vet will call in 2 weeks to check back. after the stuff sets in they said i can put some oil or bathe her so i may do that to soothe her sores. poor thing.<br /><br />studying has been going ok, i've been remembering most of my anatomy, its the epicondyles and tubercles i'm more worried about, i know my bones but parts of bones are harder to remember. and i recall some muscles, the more common ones that is. also remembering what points are nearby other points, cuz u have to mention that if there are any. depth and angle of insertion is another thing i have to recall, if u get within the range, its correct at least so as long as i'm in there somewhere. now i just have to buy a few more supplies for the exam and get my ID renewed, next payday.<br /><br />work has been on and off, i been trying to get into the beer & wine store nextdoor to the pub i work at cuz they can give me more hours and better schedules. it'd be dayshift 3 times a week and thats 3 times the hours the pub is giving me at the moment. our dw/food prep person is leaving on the 22nd and i am getting her food prep shifts and the other dw is getting her dw shifts but after that, its still not enuf hours. hopefully the beer & wine store will take me on. i`d be so relieved.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
