Yeah, it's crazy early here, like... 2:15 AM as I'm writing this message :/ I'm up cause I'm helping some people in chat! Everyone always seems to be on when it's early...

I wish I could speak Japanese! I can only speak English, and not very well, either, haha!

Save! Whenever you get a pay cheque... Pay yourself first! Even if you have bills. That way you can save money for trips. That's what I'm doing. It's taking longer than I want it, too, but I'm getting there

Have fun at your cafe job, are you a barista?! Do you have to get drinks for snooty people all day?

When I was in high school, I played competitive soccer and I got to go all over Canada and the States competing in soccer tournaments. The year I quit playing soccer, the team went over to Italy for a tournament, so I was pretty pissed about that haha. This summer I was supposed to go backpacking in Europe, but then I got word from my band's management that we were going to go on tour, which never actually happened :/ I'm super jealous! I've always wanted to go to Asia, too. And my mom is Japanese, too, so I have family over there that I could be staying with if I went to visit Japan. It's just finding the money to pay for flights. I hate bills and school tuition WAAA. I get a paycheque, and then it leaves to go pay my bills haha.

Lol, it's really not that bad. It just sucks when the bus driver is late and there is a huge line up to get on the bus. And it's 7 in the morning. LOL

I wait for the bus every morning in that weather lol. I wear jeans and t shirts in 10 degree weather haha. Man, sounds like I just need to move to Australia. Snow is overrated, you have to shovel it. Although it's a good workout for your arms and back.

Where have you been in Asia? And where do you want to go??

Lol, that's why I'm jealous. Winter here is definitely pushing negative 40 degree celsius somedays with wind chill, although it usually sits in the -20s or -30s... Horrid. I'm not built for this kind of weather. As soon as I'm done school, I'm outta here haha.

Oh right! I forgot that our seasons are opposite. We're in the middle of summer here. I'm jealous. I love winter fashion haha.

Woo! I look forward to it

Running in the rain is fun! Keeps you cool. But I fall a lot in the rain LOL and I don't like coming home drenched... :/ It's good that you're trying to keep active. Most people get lazy and stop. I put on 15 pounds in my first year of university cause I went from playing soccer 6 days a week to nothing, lol. I'm surprised I didn't put on more. So I started running and lifting weights to stay in shape.

Haha, you graduated the same year I did. Whoopsie. I just dated myself.

Are you new to running? Or is this an old habit that you're trying to pick up? It's a good thing you're going in the morning, that's the best time to run cause it boosts your metabolism throughout the day.

I had a wicked personal trainer that I went to for about a year who helped me out IMMENSELY with my running form and general workout, so if it's something you're serious about, I can give you some tips I run 4 times a week, doing various distances. I'm training for a marathon next year.

Haha, you know, I actually really enjoyed the textbook and the assignments we had to do, and it was one of my better courses as well. It's just not something that I could see doing for a living? I think they offered it online as well...

I have so many embarrassing show stories... I don't know if I'm ready to share them yet... Haha, something to look forward to?

Oh boo! I hate when that happens. I think the worst is actually breaking a string. During a show. In front of hundreds of people. And everyone notices. And you need that string to play your set. Yep...

History of the Environment was a course about how humans basically destroy the world and how everything was cool before the advent of technology. And then how government came in and people started killing everyone and sheesh because they needed more food to feed their population.

And yup, every Tuesday I am at the studio recording bands and commercials... So I get up at 6 AM and work til 6 PM. Woooooo. Just waiting for some clients to show up.

Hahaha I do that too - laugh when thinking about the show. It's such a relaxed show Def one of my favorites!
Hurry up and watch the 6th season darnit! xD
