Elizabeth's Journal

21st May, 2007. 3:34 pm. 240 days, 4 hours, 38 minutes and 46 seconds.

(That's about eight months in case yall don't know.)


I am currently obsessed with facebook, and there are some great pictures of me at the the Unicorn Pub where I work! May long weather hasn't been too nice, so we stayed here and partied for the most part. Calgary is starting to feel more and more like home everyday. However I am still trying to achieve a true 'settled' feeling. This is something I have rarely felt, ever!

Oh and I am also sounding more boring. Or maybe I am finally learning to keep my hands and words to myself? OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

During the weekend before April Fools I went out with my Calgary girl friends.


It was a complete disaster party of a weekend, and the next thing I knew it was Sunday. Blondie and I went over to my house to get me all cleaned up, and I continued on to work. I'm working two different jobs here in Calgary, at a casino and a pub. Sunday April 1st I went in for my first weekend shift at the Unicorn pub. I waltz in at 10:30am after parking at the glamorous bankers hall for $2. The bartender and I were the only front end staff on until 9pm that night. Hung over and exhausted I started to take down the chairs and set up shop. Meanwhile....  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JulZ89agRk4

Back at the pub I noticed a few of the sections were already set up with cutlery from the night before. The bartender and I also discovered a note from the girls the night before, letting us know we had a group of 50 people coming in after their walk to support Carpel Tunnel Syndrome. Haha very funny April Fools! As we laughed about this joke... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=150ZXEbLIwY



When we were already to go with a few needy customers already in I ran upstairs for the paper, the weather was shit and the streets seemed deserted... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQg_rHkIYfs


All bloody morning I served these people.

8th March, 2007. 1:56 am. 31hrs down. 31 to go.

I am working my ass off right now. 11 hours a day in a split. It's banana's. I'm so tired I can't even think of something creative to say. Also conforming to the casino makes me dull. The Unicorn is great and will keep me sane. The mornings are hard however. I've never liked working mornings at a bar/pub. The only good thing is getting off work and seeing daylight. I have to get eating better, things are starting to catch up. I can't go shopping unitl I am back to normal size, maybe never. I pass the shoe store everyday, this one guy transfered from the location by my house and 'knows' me. Thankfully I had my huge Steve Madden bag on me so I had a good excuse other that being broke from buying shoes, for not being there for so long. All I want is... no all I need is a pair of flats for work, the ones I bought 6months ago are dead. Other than that I want everything. But I really do need to go work pants shopping. Oh who cares.




How boring was that.

2nd March, 2007. 2:24 am. my mind is GONE.

It all started the week I lost my job. I was really sick and I sat at the corner of the pub, and said to myself in my head, this is a moment and from here on in things will change. I don't know if it's been for the better or for the worst. I do know it has been the worst month of my life since then. However I have come through and worked really hard. I kept happy at all times and made the appropriate appearances. I hosted people at my house when I couldn't afford it in any way. I am tired and broke. I have lost my purse, my cell phone, my blazer, my lip gloss, my pipe, my black work shirt, two pairs of capris, a black dress, all in a month. My mind is next. Today I got locker gum food shit on my pink coat and the washing instructions are in chinese. I owe everyone every dollar coming to me. So my new job shorted me on my pay check, "keep track of your hours" my roomate says. Oh I fucking do. 11 hours a fucking day. 5 days a week. My skin is breaking out all over the place, its the dryness its getting to me, im itchy everywhere all the time.

Things don't get bad enough to stress over any more. I am content, and ready for bed. The casino work is keeping me busy, and this week I start at the Unicorn. This is the oldest pub in Calgary. I am so excited!

31st January, 2007. 9:50 am. Home Alone

For the last week the girls'  mom has been staying with us. Unfourtunately I have a negative outlook on her, as the only thing she statement she directed at me regarded keeping my cough under control at night because she needed her sleep. This past week I choose to release my frustrations by not filling the ketchups at work, making jell-o shooters, and then I got on a plane to Van city at 7am with my friends. When I returned 24 hours later I was feverish, and job-less. While one of my more compassionate roommates helped nurse me back to health, while one of the  others offered her services to my manager. Luckily I know myself well enough I always have something else on the go. It was a tight squeeze this time, but I got it covered. As soon as I came home from Arizona this month I knew I had overspent so I was job hunting downtown everyday. Today will be my fourth sick day in Calgary and I have an interview tomorrow.

What else angers me? I bet those bitches didn't put any gas in my car in the 4 days I've been on the couch and they've been using it. I bet they even took it to the airport this morning. I should learn how to siphon the gas out of my roomates car. 

I CAN"T BELIEVE MY ROOMMATE TOOK MY JOB. I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS!!! Now maybe shes working two jobs rent won't go up. ha.

edit, those dear bitches of roomates of course filled up my car. I stopped being this bitter when I got better.

18th December, 2006. 4:49 pm. Christmas in Calgary

Here I am in another province. For once I have learned a few things and I know it. 

I don't like waitressing. I can't wait to have a real job. 
I love shoes. I have never owned so many before!

My favorite goal I have accomplished is the sock one. I said, out loud that I was going to move and wear nothing but fancy stockings. Now I am obsessed with them. I even have a pair with lady bugs on them.

My nails are beautiful these days. 

I wish my sister was here, I want to be able to give her what she needs. Otherwise, I really hope she will find it. 


Pub's are really depressing places and it really drains me. The only light in the sky is school in September. It is all I can see, so I have all my fingers crossed. In the back of my mind I dream about going home for the summer. 

Vacation time is arriving soon! I can't wait to see my friend, her new life, and the desert.

Current music: Postal Service.

Once again I feel life has taken a big never ending circle. However this time I know I have still moved forward. That puts me down for an achievement. An award from one who can see the bigger so well that she can put all the pixels in her head at once, and re-size it. I can feel my mind expanding, at some rate that lets me understand when I am up to no good.

19th October, 2006. 8:54 pm. ..then the chicken ate the deadly rotten egg.

If it wasn't raining I would be dog walking. Instead I am writing. I am waiting for my cell phone to arrive in the mail too. 

What else am I doing? Well I don't really know. Weather depending I will go jobbing tomorrow. 

What else do I have to say? I have been in a daze for a week. A week has passed and nothing I really wanted happened. More and more of the same old days. 

I'll just keep reading books tonight.

Current music: Placebo.
