Sunday funday is really just sunday chores day. I went up island to visit my best friend Sam for her birthday on friday, which was most excellent, let me say. Then yesterday evening I went to stay at my boyfriend's place for the night, and I really didn't get anything done there to be quite honest, but it was really nnice and relaxing, even though he just gamed for the majority of it.

We did, however, try and cook. When I say try, I mean try out different things. He's a great cook actually, he thinks that I don't like his cooking, but I really do. He's probably better than I am. Anyways, we tried out to make our own "chips" or more like sliced potatoes baked in the oven for fourty minutes. I had managed to cut a few really thin pieces, but other than that, they were just like round potato slices, but they were good!

Today, being a Sunday, after getting off my ass and stopped watching youtube videos, I did some laundry and tidied up a bit, and helped my mom cook dinner. I do live at home, for anyone wondering. I also cleaned my brushes, which I took a picture of because well, why not?

 
                                      
Sorry for the quality, they are just webcam photos, my apologies.
Anyways, I thought I'd update you guys, not really, but just make a little post.
I've been dogsitting on and off (much longer story than what i intended on for today's post), and currently I am here for the weekend. He just sleeps, so really, there's hardly anything to do, and with the boyfriend away, and not many friends, this results in me sitting at 'home', and now blogging. Today a girl in my course talked about how grateful she is for everything, and I realized I don't say that enough. I am so beyond grateful for everything I get. Sometimes I worry I don't really sound grateful enough for the things that I do have, and for the friends that I so luckily have. (and the boyfriend, of course)
To anyone that does read this blog, I really am thankful that you do. I didn't think that anyone would ever read me blabble on about my life and what not, but if you do read this, you are amazing and thank you!
I'm also grateful for my family. My dad is in the Navy, and goes away a lot and it's hard. I honestly have no idea how my mom does it, and doesn't break down every day. The boyfriend is in Vancouver for four months for his coop, and it's been a week and I miss him so much, but it just makes it even more exciting during visits.
♥ I smiled at least ten times already today
♥ I am in love with the new 1975 album and it is currently on repeat
♥ I am broke and that's going to be okay with me
♥ Fall is almost fully here and that makes me happier than ever
♥ I hope you smile at least three times today

Anyways, I hope you all have a lovely weekend and I'll probably post again this weekend!

Toodle-doo! xo

I can honestly say I had always said I would never talk about my boyfriend on something like this, fearing that I would jinx something and it suddenly wouldn't work out. But, I'm positive that won't happen. So this little, very late, post is about that little somebody.

I shall give you some background on him. His name is Mike, that's pretty much all I'll mention (no crazies please), and we met online. People talk about 'meeting online' and most say it's really scary and not a good idea. Then some, on the other hand, find it's the best way to meet someone. I was bored, and I was tired of people around me finding someone, and I was scared that I wasn't going to find someone at all. So I googled some online dating sites, and spoke to a few friends in person and got a feel for what was a good website to use, and told a few people so they knew what was happening if anything serious happened to me.
Anyways, I dated someone for about a month or two, and that one didn't work out. I gave up. I decided that no one was going to like me for me, and someone that wasn't going to get me. I'll admit and say I was jealous of my friends. I was. So I went back online. I tried a new username, set my location and messaged a few people.

I, ironically, messaged Mike first because he had mentioned Game of Thrones in his description, and well of course I had to mention it. Low and behold, about a month later, we met up. We went to his house, which wasn't far from mine, and I know, I know, one of you will be thinking "public area!!" but in all honesty, it was safe and busy where we were. If anything happened, I would have received help.  We watched the Hobbit, and he made me dinner. It took a while for both of us to get comfortable and not so nervous around one another. Once he played some music while we were making dinner, and I knew he was just great by his music taste. After that, we talked about music for about a good hour, sharing artists and favorite songs.

This was in March, we starting talking in Feb. When I met his mother, she asked us how long we've been dating, and he quickly replied "5 months". I had no idea he counted as when we were seeing one another as the term 'dating'. Either way, when we spent the day together a few days ago, he said we'd been dating six months and it made him really happy. He had never been in a relationship before, and I'm really happy to say I'm his first (and in my opinion, hopefully his last), he is the best boyfriend. He is just himself around me, and I'm myself around him. I don't think I could compare us to a couple from TV or whatnot, but we are both nerds of some sort, and we both don't care.

Right now, he's sitting and playing League of Legends with his headset on, gaming away, and I'm here writing this post while sitting on his unbelievably comfortable bed. I am happy. I haven't said that in so long, and I love feeling just so happy and content with life. I thought you all should know someone very important to me.

Toddle-doo! xo
