Where have I been?

Here. At this laptop.

Why haven't I been blogging?
To be honest; I don't know. Ran out of stuff to blog about.
Well;
I got a job; I do telephone surveys for the Conservatives and when the elections are over and done with I'll be doing agriculture surveys, calling people in Saskatchewan and Alberta. It's a terrible job, but it's above minimum wage and it pays the rent/bills.
Did I mention I work at home?
I turned 19. And every  time I've purchased alcohol so far I have yet to be carded. Frustrating, huh?
Joshua left again. He won't be back till July 9th. he's doing his QL2 course in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I may or may not go visit him there. I have never seen the ocean and it'd be nice to do so. Maybe I'll go in July and come home with him. He also moved into my apartment, and by the 1st my current roommate will be out. (Woo!)
I'm a better cook, I think. Maybe. I'm more adventurous, atleast. I cook meat.
Tybalt is great, he's grown up into a big beautful tom. He sleeps in the blankets with me, usually.

I got a costume. It's my character Finnigan. I wear her about when I feel it's appropriate; mostly Furry Conventions and the occasional outing to get a positive vibe for the fandom, and thats not too often. If you see me out, don't hesitate to ask for a hug! 

I've been to two conventions and LOVED both. I don't think I'll be missing any that are close to me ever again. What a great group of people to be around!

Don't know what 'furries' are? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furries will give you an unbiased look.

This takes up most of my time, to be honest.

Next project I'll be tackling will be Satyr costumes for me and Joshua to wear to Renaissance Festivals. Like so:

That's my life in a nut shell so far. I work, I sleep, and I sit on the computer for obscene amounts of hours. The end. I'll post probably after Easter.

Weird Weird Blog Dreams

Well, I'm really sickly at the moment, that 24 hour flu is going around and boy am I feeling it. I've been laying in bed, sniffing and chugging tea and watching sappy romances. One or the more recent ones I've watched is Riding in Cars with Boys staring Drew Barrymore.

It's an older movie, but it is really good, I recommend it to you. :)

Now, if you know me, I have crazy, fantastic, and vivid dreams. This because particularly scary when I have nightmares. But one of last night's dreams was awesome.
My grandmother somehow was reading Drew Barrymore's Tarot cards at her home. And I showed up to spend time with my Gramma and get my own cards done, but we sat and spoke with Drew instead.
And we got to speaking about our blogs. We laughed and laughed and had coffee and we taught my grandmother how to blog and we said what we liked in reading blogs.
I said I hated when people focused on writing about only the bad in their lives cause it's dreary and repetitive and plainly uncreative. She agreed completely with me. She started going off about what she liked and what she didn't, and we had oddly enough similar tastes.
I think Drew was more my subconscious having a conversation with me, but still, if my subconscious is coming out as somebody as talented as Drew Barrymore, well, I'm okay with it tricking me. :)
Oh and my grandmother does actually read Tarot cards. It's a really cool thing to have done, but the cards are tricky. (If they say you're going to come into money it could mean you'll come across a penny on the street.) I think I should get mine done again soon, it's been a while, and it's been a while since I've seen my grandmother.

For news on Joshua;
He's all settled in and working on a ship that is out of commission or I donno the term. We text back and fourth this time around, he forgot his charger though and has to go buy one tonight. It makes me miss him less. And Soon he'll have internet hooked up and we'll be playing xbox live in no time. :)

For news for me:
This was a little while ago but I applied to college for my second program. I applied to St.Clair for Veterinary Technician and Advertising (Backup plan) and then I applied to  St.Lawrence in Kingston for Veterinary Technician and Veterinary Assistant. Wish me luck!

Anyways; I was wondering cause I've got a mixed audience that reads;

 What do you like to see in a blog?


Personally I like all sorts (they really vary);
Horses, navy wives, crafting, art, photography, religious, family, food, animal care.

Wait for Me

This was the little project I was working on, along with a small amount of photographs of me and him and me for Joshua's little care package. Filled with Reeces Peanut Butter Cups and  a little note.

I also found the ring we lost in his room while he was in the shower last night. (He looked really hard for it. ... It was in the first pile of clothes I looked in.) He doesn't know I found it, I think I'ma put it on tonight and see when he notices. I'm also gonna tease him for me finding it so easily. While he's packing I'm spending time with my tyrant of a kitty. I figured I'd blog and take care of myself.

Man does it ever feel good to see your digital work in print! I've already packaged up a few things so I can't really take pictures of the package as it's at the boy's apartment.

Ugh, I'm gonna miss that boy. But atleast this time we'll  be able to talk to eachother with cellphones. Hopefully it works out. Last time he left I didn't hear form him for well over a week! I didn't know if he got there okay or anything
Although I'm not exactly a Navy Wife, as I am not married to Josh, the feelings are pretty much the same. I still slump around my apartment, I still don't wanna get out of bed some mornings and I still miss and love him all the same.

He doesn't know about this one. It's smaller and in the care package I banned him from.
It's got the Lyrics to our song, I guess.

Now the song Wait For Me by Theory of a Deadman has pretty much become our theme. He sang it to me the night before he was gonna come home over webcam. Ugh, I'm gonna miss him so much.

I just wanted to share my art with you.

And, on another note, I am open for commission. ;)

Going on Quests Tomorrow

Well, Joshua is leaving this Sunday at 4PM for BC. He won't be back untill March 31st at the earliest. :c It'll be good if he stays out longer because he needs the contract, I'ma just miss him and school and animals limit me from following him out there.

So, I'm going on a little quest, to help get me ready for it all and some gifts for him. Getting a few photos developed and such and giving him a few along with a few other things.

Also, I doodled something. :)

heh, Even though he doesn't leave in his uniform, I still love it.

I'm also working on something a liiiiiitle bit bigger and sentimental.

Just a sneak preview!
I love SAI painter Tool

I've found a great song, I love it so much, and No, Sydney, it's not that Irish song.

It's actually the original version of that Techno-y song on my playlist.
It's really beautiful and makes me all mushy and stuff.



Hope you like it!


Expect a blog post Sunday night about how everything went.
Have a good weekend folks!

:)!

The boyfriend is baaack! He came in on Wednesday, at like 2 in the morning I hear him knocking at my door. We stayed up untill 5 cuddling and talking. :3. I had to write an exam the next day, but luckily for 6 PM. I did awesomely on it. I did my Math exam friday, murdered it, too. And now I'm on Holiday. :)

I missed him so much.<3

Meow!

Josh being grumpy in bed.

He brought home a new hat for me! Isn't it so cute? It matches my kitten mittens. :) I'll post pictures of Joshua playing witht the gift I bought him. He looves it. He kept taking it out and making me nervous and sharpening it. Yes. Its a blade. It's an 18" machete to be exact. When he spins it around and does tricks with it, it makes me regret buying it for him. Atleast he uses it, I suppose. :P

The view from my bedroom window.

 We also got a heaping amount of snow on what? Sunday night? And so we went tobogganing last night. We didn't get in untill 2 in the morning. I was out like a light. I have scratched in my sides from hopping into the phragmites and stuff. I didn't wipe out, but I was tobogganning on a tremendous hill. It was simply mnassive. It took us like 5-10 minutes to walk up from the bottom again. xD
We went on an epic adventure home out in the industrial parks and stuff. Ended it at a Tim hortons. I have no idea of how much exercise I got last night, but my legs are feeling it.

Anyways, that's a quick update, I'm gonna do sunday stills tomorrow I think, once I find out the theme. :)

Hope you're enjoying your holidays!

In 29 Days.

It's been 29 days since I've been able to hug and hold my boyfriend. Now; I know there's vast amounts of people that have gone through a long distance relationship. There's a vast amount of girls or guys that won't even get involved with a military member because they know they're going to go away eventually. But;

I'll tell you; I full out knew that Joshua was going to leave when I was dating him. He had a date set for April 19th when we started dating, even. Then he had his accident with his hand, and that took away all chances of a contract for a while. Me and Joshua even think that they were trying to make him step down because they can't afford to pay somebody that can't do their full job while he was recovering with two surgeries and rehabilitation and healing.
So things between us blossomed, and I wasn't really expecting him to leave until Summer of 2011. We are best friends, really, He's my best friend. Nobody gets me like he does.

Blanket Forting, March 2010
:) This was right after his 2nd surgery, what a grumpy old man he was.

Now; Joshua found out he was getting this contract two weeks before he left. We had just gone through a rough patch, so we decided to patch things up before he left for the health of our relationship. I did it with the Vow to try and better myself.

I was starting to go to the LDS church; and let me tell you, without Elder Norton and Elder Garcia, I don't think I would have changed anything. I'm so grateful with their help in guiding me and teaching me and just keeping me company through this all. They were so supportive and I'm thankful for that. :)

The day rolled around that Joshua left; I spent the night at his place; he kissed the grumpy/sleepy/sad Sarah a goodbye and that was it for a week or two. I packed up a few things from his apartment; like his camera and his blanket to take and barrow till he gets back. Well, he might not get this blanket back from me. :P

The first night; was by far the loniest I've ever felt in my life.

I found out one of my best friends passed away the day before. To add into the confusion and pain and lonliness; this was a friend over the internet. In a community of people online that I had pretty much grown up with. Me and Tyler had known each other for about five or six years. We had even e-dated when we were younger, lol! My support system with all of our friends was only over the internet. No hugs, no wiping away tears, no shoulders to cry on. We only had words. Words and pictures. And boy, there was a lot of art that came up. I wrote a Memorial of sorts for those that didn't know.

These two events; my boyfriend leaving that morning and losing a great friend, left me feeling like I was lost and lonely and I couldn't make myself feel better.
And I stayed like that for a few days, but as I began to talk about it, cry about it, draw about it, pray about it, and read about it, I was able to come out of it. And I don't think I could have gone about it in any better way, given the circumstances.

I played with horses; I worked, quite willingly on really really cold nights to help my friend Sydney with Horse and Carriage rides. A lot of these I just rode up front with people and helped with little things. Eventually I'll get better with working with the horses. But I'll never get over the odd people we'll bump into that are interested in horses. Or the terrible children that have equally poor parents. Do they not realize the dangers of a horse when they let their kids run and scream all about them?

Grampa's Birthday.
First time I ever ate a Red Velvet Cupcake.
mmmmmm

I hung out with family. I really do appreciate everything they do for me. I can't describe how much I appreciate it. I really took it for granted when I lived with them. I guess that's a part of moving out and growing up.

I hung out with friends. Now; I'm a big hermit. I really don't like to go out to friend's places. I couldn't tell you why, it's likely got to do with being anxious about it or something. I donno. But I hung out with whoever showed up. I also went to see two Movies; the Chronicles of Narnia, and the new Harry Potter.
I wasn't really that into either series, Harry Potter was good, but the Narnia film was really a waste of $10. The dialogue in Narnia was pretty much like if I wrote it; it wasn't very good, really plain and dull stuff.

I got my root canal. And then I got an infection for the cyst that caused me to get the root canal. I should really get a picture of the cysts that form. They're so painful. I don't know why they're not just taking out the cyst... It could easily form into a problem that they could regret not removing, in my opinion. But I'm no doctor and I often worry.

Giving up coffee all week; has made me crave brownies. I could NOT tell you why in the world I crave brownies more than coffee; but I think it's the richness I want to replace the crazy strong coffee I used to make. At least if I cheat and eat a brownie, I won't reaaally be breaking the Word of Wisdom. I just can't afford it, nor do I want to really eat sweets and make my acne get bad. I have self control over this!

Last night; Josh came online and we went on webcams, he sang me a Song. And I cried. I really just wanted to hug the laptop and cuddle it non-stop. I grabbed his blanket and I cuddled in it while we spoke. he didn't have a mic. But he could mouth words and I understood. He could also type; but that isn't as fun. I sang to him before he left.
By far; it was the best night I've had in so long. I love my Navy boy, with all my heart. And He knows it.
Tomorrow; he'll be home. Within the next day or so; I'll have my boy back. And he's not going to be able to move for a good hour because I will be stuck to him like glue at the doorway. He knows it, and expects it.
Gosh, I love him.

The Navy may have my sailor; but I've got his heart.

Oh!? What's this!? My Neglected Blog!? (Photodump)

Well! I'm alive! I promise THIS time I'll be active.
Well, here's some photos and explanations of everything I've been doing.

 Alright; So, I've got quite the lovely, fat ferret at the moment. She's seriously HUGE! These pictures don't do it justice.
She's living with me at my apartment. I love her so much, and I think she's enjoying being the biggest animal in the house right now. She also gets spoiled freaking rotten.

 I've spent a lot of time with my family lately. I've been really learning to appreciate all the things they do for me. You don't really realize it until you move out on your own.

 Val is doing great, as usual. I've had her for a year, can you believe how far she's come!? It's a shame I only get to see her once in a while. My parents don't want to give her up. I remember when they didn't even want to see her. :P

I love my rescue Dog!

Oh, And I got two lovely russian boys! :D That is Boris up on the left, and Vladimir on the right.
They're quite handsome chubby fellows that are very content with riding in my hood all day.

The furry fandom. See that group of people? Those are people I love to spend time with to just be myself. I don't have to be afraid of being judged around them. That's what being a group of silly animals makes you. Do we look like sex crazed people that dress up like animals and kill eachother and end up on CSI?

I didn't think so. :)

 Oh my. Remember this boy?
Right now he's currently 3, 956 Kilometers away from me at this point in time. He's out in BC with the Navy doin' cool stuff on boats and stuff that he loves. It was also his birthday on the 2nd. He's going to love his gift!
Don't worry though. He'll be home Friday for four weeks! :D I'm so excited to see him. Distance really does make the heart grow fonder.

Anyways. I suppose I'll actually start to use my blog. I'll just try to keep up with Syd. :P
