Yes folks, I am finally employed again. Where you ask? Mrs. Tiggy Winkles. I am the happiest cookie ever.

So I've taken up knitting once more. This time I've taught myself how to knit continental style, it is sooo much faster! Right now I'm just practicing, and my knitting is so much more even and etc. My first project will be a scarf I promised to a certain boy a long time ago, it'll be his welcome back gift.

On another note, I need to find a job. Soon.

Lately the reading bug has bitten which has lead to me realizing I have no idea what I should read next. So if you have read any fabulous books that you think I might like, please tell me! Also if you happen to have that book and I can borrow it, that would be marvelous! Mainly because library return dates and I generally don't get along to well.

While looking up how best to care for my new pet Bartholomew (I kind of want a pet plant named Barnard now...) the peruvian purple pepper plant I came across these peppers:

I am amused.
Squee! I have a pepper plant to live happily with my stolen bamboo in my window.

I seem to have found myself on a forked road, one path leading to New Zealand, and the other leading to Europe. Awhile back I decided that by September 2008 I would be moving to New Zealand to live there for a year. But I have also wanted to backpack Europe since I was at least 14. Now the solution to this most of you will be saying is to do both. I fully intend to do both, I just can't decide in which order I should do them.

If I move to New Zealand I will be stuck with another year of a minimum wage job like every other year of my working life just in a different country. I also have a feeling that if I move to New Zealand I'm going to avoid post secondary. The one problem with this is I don't even know what I want to do for post secondary. I have issues with spending thousands of dollars on something I'm not even sure about.

If I backpack Europe I will be spending a large amount of money in a very short amount of time. I would also have to give up a large amount of my stuff as I have no desire to pay rent while I'm in Europe for three months. Though if I do Europe it may just scratch my travel bug just enough to let me get through college.

So it seems right now the best idea is to backpack Europe when I'm done school next year and then come home to do college. After finishing college I can move to New Zealand with a job that will actually pay somewhat decently (hopefully) and thus do more traveling in that country and in Australia.

I'm sure this will probably end up changing, but in the end I know I need to do both. I need adventure and excitement, two things Ottawa doesn't provide.

I get the put the amount in the box numbered this into this box with the same number, but I can't figure out if I'm exempt from CPP, I mean I never paid into it. It also has a little "x" beside the little box with the number. Also for some reason it won't give me my deduction for my bus passes. This is frustrating. But I want my tiny bit of money. After all I have a destroyed kitchen to fix and a trip to Montreal I need to save.

Nah! I'm joking, I just melted half your kitchen floor!

It's 6:14 in the morning and at 9:30 in the morning two lovely boys are arriving to help you move. Now for the fun part, you've decided to go through your stuffed animals once more, and still have some repacking to do. The challenge? Get it all done with before they arrive, hopefully with a half hour to nap. So that leaves you two hours and forty-five minutes, GO!
