Never Knew

I knew that Ryan's blog name would come in handy one day; so, he deserves some props for inspiring the latest blog title.

Who would've known that I would completely forget about blogging for a few weeks? I don't know; there have been a lot to talk about in the last while, but I just never got to it. But since I'm bored out of my mind right now, I think it might be a good thing to do.

Life mainly consists of working right now. My usual day goes like this: I wake up, and depending on the day will either bus to work or have a ride; I work my ~8 hour shift, and come home; I am usually pretty tired so I just spend the rest of the night on the computer or watching hockey; rinse, and repeat. Even through all this working, there is still quite a bit of stuff that is going around that I'm trying to keep up with.

The sky must have been constipated and took some laxatives or something, because we just got dumped over a foot of snow over the last two days. However, with all this excretion, we can finally feel and get into that winter mode that we have every year in Edmonton. There are always little things that remind me of a classic winter day, and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, even though it really is cold and bitter all the time.

Along with winter usually comes the mad scrambling of everyone to try and find Christmas gifts. Working retail allows me to see how hectic and desperate people really get. From the month and a half that I've been working at Sportchek, I realized a few things: they should carry more curling equipment, a lot of people don't care too much for prices, and hanging clothes is not an easy task even though repetitive. But with seeing the way people behave from my corner everyday, I can kind of get a sense to why December has the highest suicide rate; okay, that's kind of random, but still.

 So, as my hands get more and more beat up, I still think that more people should blog and let others know about it. It's a great way to learn about other people without having to directly talk or interact with them one on one, because we all know those times can get pretty awkward. Yeah, I said it.

My "Christmas" spendings so far:

• Burton Hoodie: ~$57
• Oakley T-Shirts x2: $21
  
• Thin Finn Dry Black Coated: ~$210

There are a few things left for me to buy, but I am desperately hoping I don't spend too much because I need the money for school.
