Tumblr, Tumblr, Tumblr. Oh how you suck me in. I can't get enough of your smooth scrolling and photo-gasmic javascript layering. It makes my mind spin round and round.
I should really stop. It's dangerous. I come to the Library, pick up a ticket for a half hour computer time and WHOOSH! -it's all suddenly gone. Why? TUMBLR! THAT'S WHY!
I use facebook for, oh, a minute or so, and then I use hotmail for the same and then I login into tumblr, innocent as a flower-just wanting to know what Harry Potter madness has been going on today. Then, out of nowhere: "You have 5 minutes left of computer use." Um, okay, what?
Really? I suppose it's not much different from when I was on Gaia. Oh boy, that site would grab me in it's colorful jaws -dripping with cuteness and then spit me out 9 hours later -cold and hungry and full of new gossip I'd never use in my REAL life.
And look at that! 1 minute to go. Gotta run and get more time.

BACK!
This morning I went to the Fairmont Banff Spring Hotel for breakfast at The Grill, and spent more money on a buffet than I've ever spent in my whole life. It was delicious though. Watermellon and omellets and as much bacon as I wanted. Yum. It's definitely a once-in-a-year experience though. I don' think my wallet could take it if I went all the time. :/
Speaking of wallet and spending too much money; I went to Calgary with Ben on Sunday to see Harry Potter! And now I owe him twenty bucks (which I don't have anymore-because I spent $300 at the mall! ...kill me now.)
In any case! Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt.2 was incredible. Spellbounding - literally. I was completely caught up in everything. Laughed at Ron. Cheered for Prof. McGonagall. Cried for Fred and Lupin and Tonks and Snape. Had a standing ovation for Mrs. Weasley. Sighed dramatically when Ron and Hermione kissed. Cried again when it all ended and then laughed histerically at an 'older' Daniel Radcliff and gang.
Yes, it was truly magical. It's too bad I didn't get to go with Kim and Kris, but Ben and I had a wonderful time together. And other friends were there as well! Hadn't seen Mackenzie Brush or Rebekah Hagan in (strange to be saying this already) 3 years! Phew. Long time. Forgot how much I missed 'Kenzie. Love that kid.
Work is picking up customer-wise, and slowing down mentally. It feels like every shift get's longer and longer.
And with every day gone by, I get closer and closer to University. Which, despite all the stress and money it involves, makes me so excited. I can't wait to go. I have to sign up for all my courses in the next few days before they are all filled up. More money down the pot. Sounds fun, don't it?
Also, I should really start saving up for a laptop/netbook of some sort. I realize that some such thing would be amazingly handy come start of school. Boredom-reliever and essay-writer and all that. I'll probably need it to Skype my family and friends too. Oh dear. I'm going to research one right now. A cheap one. Hm...any suggestions?
It's been raining non-stop here in Banff. Cold and windy to boot. Not very much fun to walk in.
What happened to summer, July? I need sunshine to LIVE!
Alex Pettyfer is sitting across from me. ......no, not really. Just some hot guy who looks very much like him. Trying not to glace over my monitor too much- HE LOOKED AT ME! O.O!
What song should I put here today? Let's go with...
Still Alive
