Return to our garden
My face hurts from smiling, I’m that happy.

Let's start with the little things first.

The job so far is going great. Since the actual office spaces are currently without walls or furniture, I'm stuck working at home on my own computer. I did receive free software for my design needs though. They have yet to give me the latest Photoshop. I bloody need it. I'm sick of those damn circle brushes. I could do fine with them but knowing there are customizable ones out there, it pains me, it really does.

I still can't wait for my own desk though.

I was walking home from a meeting with my computer arts teacher and I saw two toddlers playing inside a parked car on a driveway with their mothers having a chat outside. As I passed by, I heard a little voice say, "Hi mailman!". It was the cutest thing ever. The mothers explained to the child that I'm not mailman. It must've been my messenger bag. Heh. Silly baby.

Now since the job is going pretty gosh darn swell so far, I felt pretty gosh darn good. I picked up my sister from school on Monday and treated her and the older sister out for food. We had beef rice bowls. And while I was still out, I bought some BBQ pork for the whole family to eat later on.

Before returning home, I went to the dollar store to spend money on useless junk. Why? ‘Cause I’m happy and I felt like it. I bought a jesters hat and a plastic machete AND a Frankenstein goblet from the Halloween section. My mothers face was priceless when I return home with the hat on, a big plastic knife in one hand and a "frankengoblet" in the other.

"You can't be serious...."

I gave her a funny little chuckle and pranced up to my room to play some new Bloodhound Gang on my 5-stringed guitar.

My sister also got herself a brand new funky fresh cell phone. It's very ace. She's very into capturing moments but her regular camera is large, lunky and super professional. Her digital camera is quite expensive so she doesn't tote that thing around very often. The crisp camera feature and the envy-worthy large display on the new cell makes her happy and that's awesome..

Continuing with the good mood, I took the youngest sister out for a bike ride. She rode her bike and I pretty much jogged along. It gave me more of a motivation to get to our destination, Tim Hortons, and buy a couple of Iced Cappuccinos. She was happy and that's awesome.

I spent a lot of my time being loud and hyper. Nothing drug-induced, though with the way I drink my Arizonas, it could be. It was 1000% all natural happiness.

Talked on the phone with Mr. Guitarist. Things are alright with him. Spoke with Mr. Rhythm Guitarist. Things are fine with him as well. I decided to stop dodging Mr. Bassist and spoke with him. He seems to be doing just fine. Mr. Vocalist I spoke with too and he's doing alright.

...then I talked to Mr. Vocalist's mother.

*laughs* Oh the suspense!

Anyway, Mr. Vocalists mom and his girlfriend are planning a surprise party for Mr. Vocalists 18th birthday. They are asking the band to be the distraction while they set up the banquet hall for his big partay. Distraction is our middle name, yo. We're gonna get him a tattoo! Well, he wanted one anyway. So the plan is we take him downtown, get the tat, have some lunch then lie our way into bringing him to the banquet hall for big feast and bigger fun. And fun it will be.

And I also bought more tea. A LOT more tea.

And now for the icing on my smiling cake.

I finally saw Pixie again. I haven't seen her since May, I think. One night, I sent her a text message at about 2:00am asking if we could meet up because calling her was just out of the question. She phones me the next day saying she jumped out of bed because she keeps her cell phone under her pillow as her alarm. So the text messaging to keep quiet plan did not go so well. I felt a bit dumb for doing that.

She phoned me up again yesterday and asks if she can see me. After pinching myself repeatedly, I said sure and asked when she was done school. Before meeting with her I bought the Skittles because she was still sick and I had no time for flowers and because I wanted to apologize for waking her up in the middle of the night.

So I met with her and she greeted me with something I've been missing for the longest time. A hug. Honestly, I think hugs should officially be made longer. If hugs go for too long, it's called "holding" but I'm not worthy of holding her. So yeah. Hugs are cool. She smelled soooo pretty and her lavender purple hoody was so soft.

So I gave her the Skittles and she hugged me again while telling me she's never been given Skittles before. I explained I've never given anything to someone who was sick before. We laughed a bit and went for a walk.

It was the first time I've seen her hair black and it was the first time she saw my cowboy hat. Though we didn't talk much, we did spend a lot of time playing with each others new head features. I twirled her little pigtails and she kept pulling my hat over my eyes.

And then came the best part. Just before we parted at her bus stop, we both admitted to missing these moments. We missed just hanging out. We missed each other. A lot.

Before she got on the bus, she asked, "Can I see you again?"

"Of course."

"Oh I better see you again or I'll be sad. I'll give you call soon, okay? "

"Okay. I'll be waiting."

And off she went.

So I skipped home with the biggest of grins on my face. I really really did miss her and the time we spent together. And after a whole summer without any contact with her whatsoever, seeing her for just that short amount of time was just so awesome. We're still friends and I couldn't be happier.

And just to end the day off with a final touch of goodness, Pixie MSN's me a goodnight message before she goes off to bed, thanking me again for ths Skittles, reminding me to call her soon and wishing me a sweet night with good dreams.

This night is sweet already.

So yeah. That's why I'm so cheery lately. I love everything right now. Stab me and I'll bleed joy, that's how happy I am.

Anyway, I apologize for the lack of comments with your sites. I still visit but only briefly since I'm busier than I thought I would be. I'll try for today but don't be upset if your boxes are enin-less. *laughs* My comments are bleedin’ nonsense anyway.

I hope your weeks are going as great as mine. Have an awesome day everyone.

Cheers.
