Shoppers Optimist

You accidentally skipped the line in Shoppers Drug Mart on Granville St and after I politely told you that I was actually in the line you jokingly called me an 'optimist...

You're a jerk

You're really selfish and there's no reason to be. You're a nice enough guy, but you're not so interesting, thoughtful or handsome that you can get away with treating people like shit. Wake up. You've got a good thing going here, available to you, but you're wasting it. You say you want a family but your a thins will keep you alone forever.

So...I am stupid with money. I feel horrible. My brother is helping me out big time. Letting me stay with him while I'm paying off debt. and I go behind his back and buy stupid junk. Coffee, junk food and cigarettes. Money can add up fast. He trusted me that I wouldn't do this again.But I did. I promised I wouldn't do it again. but I did. How do you steer away from the craving of buying/wanting a mcdonalds or tims or even starbucks coffee and any other junk food...I don't know.. anyway.. just about there with my debt. almost all over!! god I'm stupid! ugh. I hate money!!!!!!!!! Wish the world never revolved around money! ugh. I'm horrible. I've learned this time! I swear. if not then I need to get some serious help to not spend money stupidly! Money does not grow on trees! although... I did give a homeless woman some change I had in my pocket. I like to help the less fortunate. Most of them really appreciate it.

I slept with an attached woman last summer. I knew her from a long time ago - we used to hook up. I hadn't seen her in a long time (couple years) and we ended up going home together that night. At the time, her relationship status was not something I was aware of... Her boyfriend used to be a friend. Someone told him but he can't back it up. I feel horrible that it has reached him.. My friends have lied to him saying they know nothing. I don't know if I want to go through the head ache of telling him the truth....

I Luv Canadians gals!! (cept for Vancouver ones)

I've been all over Canada and just luv Canadian gals. Most are really friendly and outgoing and love their country. But ever since i've moved to Vancouver it seems like a totally different vibe? I'm sure some are really friendly here, but compared to the rest of Canada you can definitely notice a difference. Has it always been like this? I'm shocked because this is such a beautiful City and you would think most would be really happy and excited to be here. Yet, i see the look of why are you looking at me, why are you smiling at me attitude instead of just smiling back and being happy? Totally different attitude here then the rest of the country, it's kinda sad actually :(

the joys of dating...

posted Friday, May 17, 2013 at 10:07am

I was supposed to be going on a first date with this good looking guy that I've been talking to for about 2 weeks now. I knew him from school and he said he really likes me, can't believe I'm interested because he always thought I was out of his league, bla bla bla. But then this morning got a msg from him saying he can't make it because it's his grandmas 80th birthday. Our date was tomorrow night. I call bullshit. Eff you for getting my hopes up, did you not have anything better to do the last two weeks? Just bored and wanting to chat me up for a bit? He hasn't said anything else to me since that last msg. Which is odd because he texts with me from the moment he wakes up right until he goes to bed. I'm okay with us not dating but I just don't understand why people say they want to do thing's when really they don't?
