I'm definitely going to make that yuppie bitch across the street cookies and homemade jam for Christmas, packaged in beautiful box and jar that I will also make myself.
I decided I would skip the card unless I can think of something that doesn't sound particularly cutting but actually is.
I had dinner with Davey's papa and wife Linda a little bit ago and when we said goodbye papa Eric kissed my cheek. He thinks I'm nice!
David and I have been watching True Blood. It's not my fault HBO has incredible programming. I am getting so sick of anything about stupid vampires. What a loser fad.
Next we are watching Mad Men. David is getting old we are boring now.
All weekend we wrestled and joked and pranked and cooked dinners and he even let me sleep in all 3 days.
Oh yeah I didn't check to see if I posted about this but I probably did, guess what I am going to scotland in 3 weeks! I'm glad.

OH~
I feel like for all the time I spent longing for summer and now it is almost over and I am kind of looking forward to autumn and winter.
Leaf colour chaning and coat wearing and raining outside/inside tea drinking-craftmaking-moviewatchingcouchcuddling-nighttimespooningwhenmyhouseisfreezing.
I feel yucky today and I think maybe I need to cool it with the beers. When I drink them I mean, which isn't all the time just so you know, but in hindsight 7 beers the day after 12 days of wildrose cleansing maybe wasn't a super idea. I had so much fun dancing with Linde and Danielle though and hugging Cam, having someone tell me my eyes were the biggest and prettiest, and being a gross in love couple kisses with David though.
I finally finally finally got my trip all booked. I leave in ONE MONTH. So I can't spend any money ever until then. Just thinking about Edinburgh makes my knees wobbly. I feel like I am going on a first date with it or something, but like I've had a crush on it for years and it didn't know that I am already in love with it. I cannot wait it gives me butterflies. I have a phone date with Chris tomorrow, I am excited to tell him we will be seeing each other so soon!
Oh Chad and Kelsey got engaged! Isn't that exciting? I really adore Kelsey she is the sweetest and keeps sending me notes about wedding things. This is nice because she knows how much I like weddings.
I also bought my dream couch the other day. It is so pretty and perfect. I am becoming a house wife.

I guess there are a few more years to go before I give up waiting for Jens Leckman to propose to me.
The answer is yes Jens!
take me to Sweden now.

So I thought I would come visit my family and friends on the mainland this weekend but upon arriving here I found several friends and my bro are in Seattle, others occupied with their own family engagements. But it has been nice to spend some qt with my mama. Some of the things we did yesterday were:
- drank a million cups of coffee/americanos
- got a pedicure. my feet look approximately 1/2 less gross now, I can bear to look at them.
- drove around in stupid cooking convertible way too hot.
- my mom asked me if I had heard of "This band Animal Collective because they are pretty good"
- I got some new jeans that are supposed to be ankle length or something but they are actually the perfect length for my short little legs.
- also got sandals!!?
- ate chicken shwarma in the hot hot hot hot sun, put a million pickles on the ground b/c I said no pickles please and they gave me exclusively pickles.
- Mama bought me a new duvet cover for my b-day because she thinks the other one I have is ugly (I confronted her about it and she did not deny it to be false).
- Drank free beers
- got rained on watching thunder and lightning storm on the deck
I love summer storms but I would have liked to be with a more appreciative audience of David and/or Linde to watch. M&D were perfectly indifferent, could have cared less.
I miss them terribly, I am worried goint all the way to the UK for two weeks without them I do not know how I will surrvive I can barely go 3 days without them.
Now spending all morning listening to cbc sunday edition and vinyl cafe and eating hashbrowns reading Pride and Predjeduce and Zombies. (which has re-instilled in me my fear of fast zombies)
I bought myself some fancy beers for the ferry ride home and my mom totally supported my stealing a really nice flannel jacket from my brother. I am excited to see my bf and my buds.
haha.
bye!

I feel moody. I really hope all this moodiness is caused by being a girl and taking tiny science pills for baby prevention and I am mostly sure it is, but occasional I really do worry that maybe I am just a bitch and kind of a perma-grump.
Well I guess I don't really think that actually.
But sometimes I feel so Dr.Jekyll/Mr.Hyde-y that it makes my skin crawl.
I really wanted to go to the beach today but David is at bicyclitis for a while and maybe I should have gone when he asked me along but Linde makes so much fun of me for being a bikewife that i just remember the girls who hung out at the skate park in White Rock and I kind of feel yucky so I opted to stay here, where I am also just sitting around. By myself instead of with people. I have been reading for [what feels like] hours but everyone is at work today and it makes me hate my Mon-Fri 9-5.
So Kyra is definitely moving out and in with Marc come Sept. I really hope she doesn't move to Toronto though. It is a million miles away and I would miss her so much. The only good things that are coming with her leaving are Krystal moving in and she is taking her horrible couch away.
I am really day dreaming about moving out too much. I know it will not be doable for much too long but I am craving my own space and things so much. I think that is what has been making my grumpy this past little while, restlessness. Unfortunately as much at I try I have a really hard time not thinking about how nice it would be if Linde and I had a place of our own and didn't live in our fake grown-up house anymore. I especially feel these pangs when I am at Athanasia's because if there were 2 bedrooms it might be my dream living situation. And it smells really nice and she has a kitten.
Today I realized I was retarded when we were walking back from downtown and I was day dreaming about Petit Sou and I noticed I was fake walking a french bulldog.
I looked a Pierce's facebook today after he invited me to see walter tv and it was weird from how I remember him before I left for scotland and now it looks like a friendship with Connor P Brady and a job at American Apparel can really turn someone from a whimsical forest elf into a city hipster pretty quick.

Hello livejournal,
I am supposed to be cleaning my room right now but I am not because all I really feel like doing is not cleaning my room. But it is actually unbearable now to the point where even I am disgusted by it, and I basically am comparable to Pigpen, and he is messy. I guess I like showering a lot more than he did though. But if all the shit on my floor hovered around my that is how I would look. Except worse because it would be weird and in real life and not a Peanuts comic.
I decided to sell a bunch of my vintage dresses and a few Topshop ones on Etsy. I have a lot more room on my dress rack now. For more dresses. It is kind of sad letting go of them. I feel like I am getting empty nest syndrome. Ahh ahhh my dresses are going to college or something ahhh. Phew. On Saturday Danielle and I are going to set them all up and take pictures and hopefully I can make a little bit of cash. I wonder if I can ship them through work for cheap?
Oh yeah I went on a little trip a few weeks ago. Look I promise I will try harder to post more.
Anyways. It was so nice to drive. Even if it was only for a couple of hours. I felt really good impressing David and Athanasia with my driving skills. It makes me really want a car even though I have no need for one whatsoever. Or would be able to afford one ever.
Parksville was the perfect weekend. It was so so so nice to get away from everything for a little bit and kind of just relax. The beach reminded me of White Rock and it was just sunny and the water was warm and I lost terribly at bowling but it turns out I am a serious putter-shark and I won two games of mini golf in a row. I just wanted to stay at the beach all day.
On sunday we went back to the beach and found a million oysters but they probably had red tide or were illegal to remove from the beach so we left them. We drove out to Coombs. So weird. It is like a roadside stop that has become a tourist attraction in an of itself. I really liked it there and it was hot and lovely, but there wasn't much to see just much to buy and all I was thinking was "who goes on a holiday for the point of consuption? To by only shitty tourist crap and expensive hats or jam?". Lots of people I guess. Got back into the car and drove our to some waterfalls. They were my favourite part. I like rivers and forests. Leaving was so sad I was having such a lovely time with my boy and touring the island. I was just so happy to get out of the little city for a few days. I felt very content.
I hate to regush because I feel like before my livejournal hiatus I did a lot of gushing about Dan. So, I am sure in future posts I will continue to gush, but let me explain. The way I feel about the boy I am with now is quite different than before. I feel like I have retained myself, which was something I struggled with before. It is so nice to be in love and know that it is right and not be scared because you are thinking I am in love but this is wrong and this is wrong and this is wrong and i am sad but if I am not in love I don't know what I am anymore
That's all very long ago and not really that worth mentioning, but it was such a sad and silly way to think and I just feel so different now.
Because I am trying to keep the gush to a minimum with this one I will just say that all I find myself thinking right now is I am so happy now.
ps: I have strep throat again. My poor throat.

Dear Livejournal,
I am really sorry. I am not ignoring you. I have lots to tell you.
I just can't right now.
It's kind of embarrassing.
I've been really busy.
Reading twilight
UHHH
I don't have to say anything else. I know you will understand.
Plz don't judge me.
I promise to tell you all about Linde's parents and my trip to Parksville really soon.
Faithfully yours,
- jess

Here are some things that are great:
-It's finally the summertime
-I kind of like it here now
-Sometimes I remember that I am kind of a babe
-Linde comes home today
-David's friend Joe knows my name
Here are some things that are not great:
-I forgot a lunch today
-I might be a hypocrite.
-I am crazy.
I guess I am going to start livejournaling again even though nothing exciting happens to me. I am kind of nervous?
It doesn't matter because I am just going to end up talking about how much I love Linde, so it is good she doesn't know about this because she doesn't need me to swell her head with all my sweet-nothings.

I feel that by now, in it's third year of existence no grand explanation or introduction is needed, but I will say this: Valentines Day is stupid and boring and it makes single people feel lame and even people with a special someone hate buying cheesy shit for each other. But do you know what people do like celebrating?
STALINTINES DAY!!!!
HOORAY!
The Russian people may hate him because he is single handedly (pretty much) responsible for killing 5 million of them, but I love him. And who else on the world stage loves the Russians anyways.? Uhhhhmmm, no one! Thats right Russians, eastern Europe still thinks your jerks!
Okay, look at his mustache! SO BAD ASS AND COOL!
He said "You have to break a few eggs to make an omelet"!! HE SAID THAT! AMAZING!! And he was talking about the killing people! What an analogy! So clever and ominous!
His name means MAN OF STEEL! ALSO VERY BAD ASS!
Also here is a story: Once after Lenin died, everyone in Russia was like OH NO! WHO WILL LEAD US TO UTOPIA NOW?! And some of them were like "Oh I like comrade Trotsky, remember when he lead the Red Army, that was DOPE AS SHIT!" But my man Jo was like "I don't think so bitches." (or Russian equivalent of) And then because he is so HUGE AND STEELY, Trotsky had to hide out in Mexico an plot his next move. And Mexico is REALLY far away from the USSR, so he was really scared. And rightfully so, because Stalin hunted him down and had him assassinated WITH A FUCKING ICE PICK! WHO ELSE DOES THAT!?
I could srsly go on AND ON, but please read more info about him on this hilariously awesome pro-red website I found: http://www.workersoftheworldunite.org/stalin.htm
Okay I love you.

Will I ever grow tired of hearing Promiscuous?
I don't think so, no. You think you are sick of it, but are you really?
Probably not. IT IS SO GOOD. STILL!
Anyways, Jordan, I am saving all future "blogging" efforts for Scotland/Europe, which I leave for in 16 days.
Because right now all I am doing is working and all my posts would look like this:
"Dear livejournal,
Today I worked at Choices for 8 hours. The door is broken again so it is even colder (and windier) than normal. Some lady tried to steal some azaleas and some grumpy man lectured me for 15 minutes (aka my whole break, which I was supposed to be having) about how the handicap parking stall wasn't close enough to the door, even though it is but ONE SPACE AWAY. I didn't design the parking lot just to fuck with you, annoying non-disabled customer who doesn't even NEED the handicap stall. GOD. And then that man who ALWAYS complains about how expensive it is here wanted to buy some bananas but then didn't end up buying them because he can't convert lbs to kgs and and argued with Jim and I for 10 minutes about the price($2/lb and $4/kg WHICH IS THE SAME PRICE) before throwing the bananas on the floor and ambling out of the store. He was wearing outerspace-themed pajama pants and a members only jacket and I hate him SO MUCH. Anyways, then I went home and fell asleep at 9:30 because I am always really tired because I work 60 hours a week.
Well, until tomorrow which will be essentially exactly the same,
love Jesse"

Oh gosh, everything that is happening is so exciting that i feel like i could throw up! But in a good way. If that's possible.
Things are just starting to happen and I love seeing my friends and I am so excited to leave and see things but scared and sad to leave people behind. It's a pretty equal balance between the two I guess, maybe more sad and scared, but if I don't do this now I feel like my life will stand still for the next 12 years and I won't get anything done that needs to be done for myself. But I don't feel as scared as I should, I don't think, or as scared as I thought I would at least. I kind of thought (when I said it) that I was just saying "okay everyone I'm just moving to Scotland for no reason maybe 8 months or for four years to forever." and nothing would ever come to fruition. But time is moving so fast and I am almost sitting on a airplane.
So if you ever feel like visiting Scotland, plz look me up.
I can't believe that I am in love and I have to leave.

So, is it fair to say that Joanna Newsom was pretty much AMAZING?
Although, apparently some people thought it was really bad?
WHATEVS.
She is really cute and talented and her voice was so good.

Hello!
It's -20 degrees outside here in Edmonton right now! fuck mans, I can't understand why people live here. I think the freezer at Mcdonalds is warmer. It is! Only -13, and you can die in that shit. (I almost did, lest we forget. ho ho.)
Yesterday we went tobogganing, which was the most fun ever, and Reco had never gone before because he is from turkey and I guess they don't go sledding very much there, and we had races and I knocked a girl over by running into her. It hurt both of us I think, but I couldn't tell who she was when I got back to the top of the massive sledding hill to say sorry about that.
I hope all the snow is melted when I get back to Vancouver.
And I hope it doesn't snow i Scotland. Oh maybe a little bit for a while.
It doesn't look as nice here because they put salty-sand all over the road and it gets all brown and spattery everywhere. I can't imagine it looking not nice in scotland though, due to nothing does, except some of its people. My AQ is definitely going to go up when I am there, how nice!
I played with my cousin's kitten all afternoon, its original spca name was cuddles. He is still a big baby and he sucks on your shirt FOREVER.
Before I came to edmonton, Dan and my Dad and I went to see the Stones and I thought it was really really good! Even though our seats were way worse than we thought and middle-aged people kept saying it was not that good. They know exactly what people want to hear for the most part, only I wanted to hear "Under my thumb" and "mothers little helper" but they didn't play them here. But they did in Seattle! What fuckers. On monday we went to see the Dears, but the show was postponed until wednesday and I couldn't go! We drank $10 pitchers of beer at the templeton and Dan pulled me along the icy sidewalks instead, it was a really sweet date together. OH! he is the sweetiest boy in the whole sea! And then the next day my truck got stuck in the snow forever and I was late for work, and Patrick told me the story of how he met Burt from Burts Bees and a girl I knew in highschool came through my till and I found out she had an eating disorder, which was really terrible.
UHM anyways it is fucking cold here and I had a really amazing bowl of sopa de tortilla for dinner and I miss my love and greenery!

I have tendinitis again and it fucking sucks.
I went to this sushi place by guilford mall with Chad and Dan and it was so nice and I also felt like a movie was filmed there but I don't know which one. The sushi was delish. The other night Dan and I had all-u-can eat and Dan ate 30 salmon nigiri.
Anyways, then we rented Jesus is Magic and I remembered Sarah Silverman has a really obnoxious voice, but she makes some really excellent jokes about people of all races and faith-es(?), if you like that kind of thing. (I do. A LOT.) We accidentally left Chad's house really early because we thought it was 1:15am but it was 11:15pm and I felt bad because I don't think he even wanted to watch that movie.
I got my joanna newsom ticket finally!
Also the DaVinci Code satisfied me in a way I never excepted a movie directed by Ron Howard OR starring Tom Hanks (whom I dislike) to satisfy me. I love that my love works at a video store.
I am so excited to give some gifts this season.
anyways, I think my whole arm is going to fall off or something.

Remember when Scarlet Johanson was in lost in translation?
Well. She is putting out a cd of tom waits covers.
it is called "scarlet sings tom waits", which made me realize that when not attached to a last name, Scarlet is kind of a stupid sounding name.
Anyways. The other night I really wanted a cinnamon bun and then all of a sudden Dan appeared with a piece of weird cinnamon bun/cake for me. This is why I love him.
I need to go to work nowwwwwwww

My computer is has been making some of the most awful noises lately. Like, it sounds like it is going to explode. Terrible.
There is also a serious throwing-up problem with on of the cats here, it is disgusting and I think she probably has cat leukemia or something equally bad.
C'est la vie, mon chat. C'est la vie.
Lately I have become very enchanted with the possibility of renting out Susie's room in September and living with Liz and Alex. I think, really, it has a 50/50 chance of actually becoming a reality, because who knows if Susie will really end up moving to Victoria? No one, but we can only hope. Because it would give everyone a nice reason to trip over to the island and visit her, and it would be really nice to live in that little house.
Liz, I hope you are thinking of the beauty that could be our housemate-ship.
Because I am srsly dreaming of it very often. I CANNOT STOP MENTALLY PLANNING OUT MY ROOM which I don't even know if I will live in ever. GOD. I even know where my sewing machine will go and all my shoes and art on the walls.
I got my passport re-application thing today. And then I had to re-print it off the internet like 17 times because I had to resign my signature a million times, because you can't let it touch the blue outline of the VERY VERY SMALL box, which voids THE ENTIRE document.
Also I am trading Pierce my extra floortom for his red bike.
I emailed Rachel like, 2 weeks ago because I heard through the grapevine of my mom that maybe she changed her mind about not going, and maybe wanted to come to Scotland, but I haven't heard back from her, so I don't know. I just need to know if I should wait for her so we can book our flights together (supposing she is going), or if i should just book it. But Zoom has a 2for1 seat sale on right now, and we could both fly for only $300 dollars or something obscene like that.
Dan and I finished (finally) our 6 feet under marathon. I am kind of sad that it's over, even though I had come to hate many of the characters. (most of them).
We also went to see Dylan last on Wednesday, which was kind of awesome because I really do love Bob Dylan, except for it was also kind of awful, because he is probably the worst performer ever. My mom said he was terrible 20 years ago and that he is just getting by on his name/legend. But really, worse than I expected, and my expectations were low. Belle told me her friends said it was really good, but it is different when you are 16 or 17 and really want to be impressed by Bob Dylan so you lie to yourself that he is still amazing, I told her.
Dan was upset because we went for our anniversary, but I still had a really good time, so he shouldn't have been.
Also, Kings of Leon are so skinny. Like, I had to rub my eyes because I thought I wasn't seeing them right.
I guess this was kind of a long post, but I guess things just started happening again like crazy, I can't even start on it.
I cut my bangs?
