Things may be Picking Up

Today I met another Canadian who lives at my landlord's other place.
We went to the beach. His name is Shane and it's just good to know another person.
He goes to beach volleyball on Wednesdays. It's 20 bucks and you play for an hour or so and then have pizza and drinks. Not too shabby. I think I am going to start going. Should be a good way to meet some people.
I've been chilling a lot with my roommate Brent as well and that is pretty awesome. We have fun and for some reason lucky things always happen when we are together. Weird coincidences, finding money in the street, getting a lift home from the cinema. It's good. I'm going to his family's place for the Christmas holidays and for New Years so that should be nice.
Tomorrow I have a job interview for a clothing store. Hopefully that goes well. If not there are two restos like right across the street where I will apply. Just for the short term. I heard that the people make $25 an hour which isn't bad at all for a fast food type place.
Things seem to be picking up. :)

Highs and Lows

I am not doing so well lately.
I think my aunt was right in saying that it was bad timing for the farm. Too bad I didn't listen.
I've got myself into a little bit of a rough spot. I do not have a job until February and my money is running low. Especially considering I will have another month and a half of rent to pay before I start working again.
I took my roommate's bike and went around the little strip looking if any places had wanted signs in the window. I didn't find any.
I put up an add for tutoring/babysitting or being a waitress on gumtree and I got the creepiest replies back. One was for modelling, one was for letting a guy training to be a masseuse massage me, and two others were pretty much for prostitution. Gumtree; not such a good place to look for jobs.
One of my roommates works at a casino and told me I should apply there so I have sent in my CV. We'll see what happens. If worse comes to worse, I can live on my credit card for a month, that will just suck a little bit.
I think even worse than the employment situation is that lack of friends and family. I feel reallllly lonely. I have to make some friends but I don't really have any connections at the moment to do that. I have my roommates but they all work and aren't around during the day. I'm missing my family and friends reaaaal bad. I guess it's all part of the experience. I don't know.

8-year-old boy parties

So I had all these games planned to help animate this birthday party and none of it was necessary. They just wanted to play guns. They played with guns for about 3 hours straight, minus some small breaks for food. Wooden guns, metal guns, cap guns, you name it, they played it.
Pow Pow Pow all day long.
At least they are easily amused.
