A long while ago, I made a decision. I decided that it wasn't necessary for me to share my thoughts, rants and ramblings with the public. I feel that some people who I may not want to read this, will fall upon it so from now on, my journal is set to, by default, as Friends Only.

If you would like to read my journal, please leave a comment to tell me that you added me. If you add me and do not leave a comment, I have no way of knowing that you added me. If i feel that i would like to share my life with you, then i will add you back.

So here you go:

( Thanks to Jehy for the quizzes and whatnot... )

off to bed i go
Night night all!

Kimberly

Well,
Its been an interesting day today. Got up and went to curves. Corrine was there and it was great. Amusing as well. Came home from there and went to sydney. Dropped off an application at value village. Then i went to canadian tire and got new windshield wipers and then picked up supper for mom and me.

After supper me and mom decided that we wanted to get those wipers on my car. 45 minutes later, after listening to mom tell me that i was doing it the wrong way and hearing that we have too many parts i ended up putting both on myself and mom watched. Of course at first, neither one of realized that parts for the 5 different types of cars that these wipers could be used on and that is how it took me and mom 45 minutes. Oh and at one point she left the wipers with me and took all the connector parts with her and then she wondered why i was mad at her. Ah well, it was amusing to say the least. But the wipers work great and seeing good wipers on my car just made me so happy.

After that mess i went upstairs to lay down for a few till chris called me. It just so happened that 5 minutes after i fell asleep chris called. And he got mad at mom for waking me up. Poor mom, shes getting shit on alot today. But I got up and went over.

Went to sydney and checked out the mall where chris got a game (world of warcraft) and then we went to blockbuster and rented Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events, which i liked but chris hated. When we got to blockbuster i heard someone yelling my name and i turn around and its Elise waving at me!!! I love Elise. Shes great!

So yeah we watched movies at his place and im all happy now but very tired. So i think im off to bed. I need my sleep i need to be up early to go work out then i have a hair appointment at 11, YAY HAIRCUT! and i think mom wants to go grocery shopping...i think if not its off to the beaton with chris. And then i might go over chris's and watch a movie with his mom while chris is at driver training class because joe is gone away for the week and debbie is all lonely and doesnt know what to do with herself. I think she would like the company. I might even make it a Matthew McConaughey night with how to lose a guy in 10 days and the wedding planner. Debbie loves Matthew McConaughey too. Debbie rocks!!!

Well im really off to bed now.

Goodnight everyone!

Kimberly

Hey everyone,

Well, I went to bed and all was well. I wake up and mike is back to school and there is alot of moving sounds coming from the spare room. But guess what? To my surprise it is no longer a spare room. Because Brian just got a job at spiegel, he is moving into the spare room as a rent paying room-mate. Im not sure yet whether i like this idea or not yet but thats just because i just woke up and i havent finished processing the concept yet.

But wow i didnt even know that he was thinking about moving in. I now feel completely out of the loop when it comes to the family and our house.

time will tell. Stay tuned for the conclusion to the interesting life of Kim McDonald. Stay tuned. Comments are more than welcome.

Thats it for now.
Kimberly

well,

I have snow on my car and i had to resort back to wearing my sneakers cause all my pretty shoes dont protect my feet from the snow. Dad, on the other hand is not enjoying the sun because of the blowing sand and the fact that his face is already burned. I dont think i would mind the gobie desert(hold on im gonna go get the proper spelling of it... OK i found it and it is GOBI desert.) just for a day to have the nice sun on me and plus just to see the sights. (you know all that sand and the sand, and well...the sand)

But good news is dad can contact us both by email and phone. Hes gonna call once a day to check up on us and hear our voices. But we can also email him too so its a plus for us.

I miss dad today. And im not hung over. But i am dying for milk duds. You know, those carmel ones covered with chocolate. mmmmm. I thought about them last night and now im screwed cause ill think about them till i get them and that could be a while cause im trying to watch what i eat. Whats the point of curves if im just going to continuously eat junk food. I wont lose any weight that way.

Ok i was looking up shit on dads work and thought i might as well share the facts

-the city dad went before he left for the desert and that i couldnt pronounce or spell is in fact Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

-hes in the gobi desert and if you want an idea of what the gobi desert should look like, rent flight of the phoenix (it stars dennis quaid, and miranda otto, you know eowyn of lotr...)

-( pictures for you of the Gobi Desert )

so yeah thats it for now. I think im gonna go get a shower and straighten up my room, plus im hungry and i didnt eat yet today

 

but to everyone, dont forget about "Hello Gorgeous" female impersonators. Its gonna be great. Come on! 15 bucks!

yeah im gone now

For the record...

My boyfriend and friends rule and they are my life.
Every one of them knew something was up with me the past couple of days and asked if they could help and when they couldnt they just let me know that they were there. Now thanks to all of them i am starting to feel a bit better. It will take a few days to come out of this mood swing i went nose diving into but at least now im on my way to getting back to normal.

Chris i love you so much that there arent even words to explain properly.

And to my friends, thank you for continuing to put up with me. Though i know its what a friend is suppose to do, i just want you all to know that i recognize that you helped me and im greatful that yous are still around.

:o)

Love,

Kimberly

oh man,
its been a crazy couple of days around here. And its not even whats been going on, its just the mood i have been in.

Ever since the day before dad left, i have been super bitch. Im mad and everything and everyone and for no good reason. I feel like the world is against me and i have no reason to feel that way. Im randomly crying and i dont want to talk to anyone. This means one of three things : im either going crazy, its that time of the month, or im getting sick. Now i dont want any of these. None are good for me or anyone in my surrounding. But im pretty sure that i havent gone mad, and its not that time of the month, so im left with me coming down with something. The only thing that makes me think this is that while i am being super bitch, im also really needy and sulky and i just want to be held while i bawl my eyes out. The only person i want to be around is chris, hes the only one i dont seem to hold any hostility against but that may be due to the fact that the last time i seen him was day after dad left.

I cant sleep lately either. My sleep is all fucked up. I keep on having this recurring dream of a lion chasing me that some old chinse man set out to get me and the lion catches me and makes me go to this prison, which is actually in eds. This dream, over and over again, is making sleep so hard.

I wish chris didnt have work tonight. I just want him to hold me till i feel better. Not that he should really worry about my dreams. I just feel safe in his arms and the dreams arent there when i fall asleep in his arms.

oh yesterday i forgot about corrines party cause i still thought it was the 15th. Sorry hun! i really didnt realize your party was last night. Amy came down to pick up a game and she asked why i wasnt at the party and i was like "the party isnt tonight" then i realized the date. Sorry. I feel bad cause i said i would go. :o(


but yeah
im feeling crappy lately. But i woke up early this morning. So im gonna try to get my sleep schedule back in order. I want to go out and do something today but i dont know what. Actually all i really want to do is go see my boyfriend. I wish he would wake up and go on messenger.

Im off for now.

Kimberly

well,

its almost 24 hours since dad left sydney airport for mongolia and he just landed in seoul, korea. He also met up with the other Canadians who are going with him to the mine. I know he still has like 12 hours of flying left but im very relieved to hear that he landed in korea and that he is fine.

now i might be able to get a couple of hours of sleep before i get up and go to curves.

Later
Kimberly

well its 8:30 in the morning, i didnt sleep all night cause dad was leaving for Mongolia today. Got home from Chris's at 230ish, mom scared the shit out of me cause i thought she was in bed and she wasnt and greeted me at the door. but yeah i got in and there was no hope of sleep cause mom was gonna wake up dad like an hour later.

Dad gets up and its almost 4am. Mikes still no where to be found and mom and dad are worrying cause mike does not know how to pick up a phone and let people know where he is and when he will be home. Dad gets pissed cause mike isnt home to say goodbye to him. I dont blame dad for being upset. Hes leaving for mongolia for 8 weeks and he wants to say goodbye to everyone together. The poor dog knows that dad is leaving and had turned into the worlds biggest sulk and is avoiding dad, he wont even let dad pet him.

We get to the airport and it wasnt as hard as expected to see dad go, but instead of being happy that hes going and hes not grumpy, im already starting to miss him. So me and dad are talking about his flights and his connections while he waits to board at 530 in the morning. And heres the rundown:

-hell be flying 36 hours straight plus change overs (10 hours longer than he was flying when coming from the artic circle)
-hes flying from sydney to halifax to montreal to vancouver, then to seoul, korea, then on to Beijing, then to ubu atar, mongolia (that spelling is wrong and its hard to pronounce)
-during this whole trip he will be gaining time rather than losing cause hes going across canada and into seoul from vancouver instead of going through LAX and eastward
-once he lands in mongolia, he stays in that city for 2 days then they charter him out to the gobie (sp?, pronounced go-bee) desert where the mine is.
-he flies air canada right to seoul and the flight from vancouver to seoul is 11.5 hours (dad seems glad that he doesnt have to go through LAX.)

*dad just called, he landed in montreal and is heading out to vancouver now, ill be worried till he lands in mongolia*

-an interesting side fact was dad was informed by the woman taking care of his trip and his preparations, who then informed me that apparently mongolia exports cashmere and you can get cashmere sweaters and whatnot really cheap over there. i have put in a request for a sweater. Can you imagine??? Cashmere!!

The house now seems so empty. Dad was home for a long stint. Longer than we are used to. Hes been home since the week before nan died. it just feels different now since we got home from the airport. Of course this may be due to the dog. We came in and he walked up to us all sad with his head down and he curled up with mom. He all sad that dad is gone again. But he is quite the sight. i babied him a bit, hell be fine in a day or two.

on a different note completely, i did some house cleaning the other day and removed someone off of my friends list. I know this seems redundant because my journal is set to public and i dont really care who reads this journal anyway, but i do like to know and have a good reason for you to be on my friends list. now the person i took off was oh so nice to block me on messenger, weeks before the shit he started had actually started so i thought i should return the favor (i removed you from my messenger too cause im sick of seeing the same nic). Plus I no longer feel the need for any association with this person so i just removed you. I dont even know if you read this shit but if you do, now you know.

But as a note, the people who are on my friends list are there for a reason. For one reason or another i find you or your lj quite interesting and i want to read your journal and have access to it on my friends page. If you are not on my friends list, you either dont interest me, i dont like you, i have no idea who you are (like fawnzie, i dont know who you are or why you even added me?), or you just dont update enough to make me want to read your journal.

So yeah if my journal catches your attention, have a ball, im glad your interested, and if i noticed you added me, ill check out your journal and make my decision from there if i want to read your journal on a daily basis. But if i dont add you back, no hard feelings. Ok?

ps i dont know where that last part came from. Im really over tired. I think its bed time.

Goodnight
Kimberly

I cant fucking believe this!

With my last pay i went out and bought myself a dozen beer. Everyone knew this is my beer so they kept their hands off. Plus mom and dad have their own liquor. But ive only had 2 of my 12 beer so far. I figure this way the beer should last me a bit. But what happens when i go downstairs? There are only 6 beer left and i only drank 2. Mom and dad confirmed that they didnt touch my beer because it is in fact my beer. So who is left to blame? My 18 year old brother. The fucker is dead. What gives him the right to drink someone elses beer. Plus hes a fucking minor. i wasnt allowed to drink before i was 19 without being in major shit. Yet mike openly takes other peoples beer and mom doesnt make a big deal about it. Though im sure it would be different if he drank all of her wine instead.

And of course, where is the little fucker? Hes not home and mom is telling me to calm down. NO I WONT

Dad would be pissed if mike drank his rum but when it comes to me and my beer. No one cares!

Im sick of that fucker pulling this shit. Limbs will be lost if he doesnt replace them.
I cant wait till he gets home!

Fuck im pissed now.
Thank you mike for ruining my day!

Kimberly

and while in my high spirit of accomplishment i have come up with a list:

Things I Have Learned While Cleaning My Room

1. I have way too much shit in this little room.

2. Im a terrible packrat (i had magazines from 5 years ago)

3. Everytime i clean my room i can easily fill 3-4 garbage bags full of useless shit.

4. I think i have run out of room for candles, candle holders and picture frames. (chris would reply with...then throw some of them out...so i did)

5. I can now see in my closet. And chris will be happy to know that i threw out 5 pairs of shoes.

6. i am currently missing 2 of my 3 silverchair cds and im ready to start panicing

7. i have more room on my desk then i thought i did

8. i wish i had my digital camera already because i want to take pictures of this. my room will probably not stay this clean for very long.

9.no matter what i type, im still thinking about the 2/3rds of my silverchair collection that is missing :o(

10. ...they might be in the part of the closet that i havent checked yet...

11. its 5 am and i should be in bed asleep but instead im thinking about 2 cds...

fuck it, now that i know that those 2 cds are on the missing list, im not gonna be able to finish this list of things that i felt i accomplished tonight. so ill go to bed and get some sleep.

Goodnight everyone!

Kimberly

But at least i put it behind a cut...

( another quiz that i just couldnt refuse and im procrastinating as usual )

now im gone to continue working on cleaning my room. Wish me luck. I shall stop in 2.5 hours to go and get my boyfriend at work.

Later,
Kimberly

Im exhausted...
Why you may ask? The past 36 hours have been full of many ups and downs.

Tuesday:
Bought liquor cause i havent had a beer in a while and ive had the itch for a cold beer lately. Me and chris decide to go see "Sin City" with Adam and Patricia. I was looking forward to seeing this. The previews looked good. Got the the movies. And it sucked. The story line was shitty. Mind you, the visuals were amazing and that was the only thing that kept my attention. The story line was boring me so bad. I just kept on checking my watch. So we leave the movie and the two couples go our seperate ways. And on the way home i hit a bump and blow one of my tires and i lost a hub cap. This happens in front of Krazy Krazy. This is the one night i dont take a cell with me. I didnt wear a jacket cause it was warm when i left. So chris walks down to tims and robins donuts and they are closed cause its like after midnight. He comes back to the car to warm up and then walks the other way to get to a phone. He calls roadside assistance, that i thankfully have cause i didnt learn how to change a tire. Plus its too damn cold out. Roadside assistance cant find me in the system, but agree to send someone out anyway and they can find me later.

Chris is so great. He comes back with a tea for me to make sure i was warm. We wait 20 mins for the roadside assistant guy. A police officer stops by (hes the only one to stop to see if we are ok) and reports the pot hole to dispatch to get someone out to fix it. Chris kept me calm that night and then he made sure i didnt get too cold. And he made me so very happy this morning. ;o)

I get home today and dad takes my car in to get the new tire put on. Theres $150.00 that we have to fork over. But im calling the municipality in the morning and having them pay for it cause there was no sign warning me of the bump they are at fault and i cant afford it. So dad got it for me. While in there, the guys tell dad that my brakes are 90% worn down, that my other front tire needs to be changed, i need a wheel alignment, and i need an oil change. So there is another 500 bucks that will need to be put towards my car. this news has me avoiding the house like the plague cause dads in a bitchy mood and as much as i love him, im looking forward to sunday when he leaves for mongolia. Hes been home since the week before nan died. We have been on a routine now for about 3 years of him travelling and coming home and the system works for both parties involved. This is the longest hes been home in years. Were ready for a 2 month break. and i think he is too.

so yeah to get away from it all i went shopping with amy. It was fun. Ran into angela and jamie. Ran into angela and jamie and angel again at DQ and jamie asked me to go over and braid her hair. I had fun. It was nice to be out with my friends for the day. I missed that. Thanks for keeping me busy and out of the house today.

in good news, i bought a ten dollar knitted poncho at penningtons. Its cute. And i like it.

So its been a messed couple of days. In my family, bad news comes in threes, time will only tell if the streak will continue with me.

but i guess ill leave you with this:

( taken from Angela )

and with that im off to bed...
Goodnight
Kimberly

did you ever notice something you forgot about and fell in love with it all over again because the memories just flooded you?

Thats what happened last night. After i dropped chris off at work i came home and picked up my brother and then i decided to try to clean the rest of my book case and make it look all pretty again. I started at the top and i started to organize my cd collection. Thats when it happened. I found cds that i forgot i had. Like i found the cardigans, republica, a bunch of older dance mix cds, the first bsb cd, soundtracks to some corny movies like clueless, i know what you did last summer and the baby sitters club. Now im a fool and i hold onto all my cds. I dont think i can part with one. Like that baby sitters club sountrack, now thats old, at least, what 10 years old now. Yet i still have that cd. But the one cd that kicked me back to memory lane was Take That. I loved Take That. The best 90's pop band as far as im concerned to come out of england. I remember how much i loved them. They were my favorite. I used to dance around my room singing there songs at the top of my lungs into my hairbrush without a care in the world. And mom always caught me too. I was in love with Mark and everyone told me that i was crazy, cause you know, it was all about Gary. They didnt know what they were talking about. I remember me and raylene being obsessed with them and i would tape them everytime they were on The (original) Hit List with Tarzan Dan. (remember that? and he always had take that and bush, who were bush x at the time, on the show as guests)

But yeah i picked up the cd and i just stopped cleaning. I popped in the cd and i just listened for a couple of hours. And i just remembered everything. It was so awesome. But yeah im gonna go wake chris up. Ill post later on when i get home.


so yeah to finish off, its my journal, im in a community and im promoting to get more members:



Later
Kim

Highlight of the day:

Hearing Adam Day sing a medley from the wedding singer.

That was fucking great!

Ill probably post later after i take chris to work.

Kim

im in such a weird mood today
im really sore and all i want to do is curl up and cry
but the thing is, i have no reason to curl up and cry. I just feel the need to cry.
I'm just in a really depressed mood today and there is no explaination for it.
