better week, better week.

Trying to focus on the good things that happened this week and not dwell on the bad. I hope things are looking up. This week I successfully developed a half decent roll of film... of course the pictures on it are nowhere near as awesome that one roll but... ugh. Nothing I can do about that. I'm just glad I've got new photos to print, as my other developed rolls are driving me crazy now.

I also babysat on Thursday. It was an easy night and I made a bit of money which is always nice. I still haven't heard from angelos about when the orientation will be... kiind of worried about that, so I guess I'll call tomorrow. Friday I went to wondersushi with Jake which was delicious and awesome and the rest of the night was okay. Saturday my mom said I could have someone over but I was really tired and unmotivated so I watched the movie Speak (based on one of my favourite books, yay), played sims and read a lot. It was okay. And today I WENT TO THE CAT SHOW. With Jake, of course. THERE WERE SO MANY CATS I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES AND SO MANY CUTE ONES AND JUST WOW. It was so frickin wonderful, I wanted to take them all home. Instead I bought a cute kitty ring. That'll have to do. They had so many awesome cat related things, next year I must return with more money.

Later tonight I was walking downtown to my bus stop and a guy asked me for change for the bus and I said I didn't have any, mostly because I didn't wanna fish for my wallet and then decide how much change I wanted to give him, which I immediately regretted a minute later. So I pulled out most of my change which wasn't even an entire dollar and kept it ready in my hand while I walked down richmond, in case anyone else asked. A bummy looking man asked me, so I gave it to him and the look on his face was really awesome. He was surprised and really happy, even though it wasn't much and wished me a good night and that was that. It got me thinking about how much it must suck to do that frequently and how many times in a day he must hear "no" or not even be noticed. I've decided that once I get my first pay, I want to put half of it towards charitable causes... like more to homeless people and putting more in charity boxes and stuff.

I know most people say not to give money to the people on the streets because it usually just goes towards drugs, but really, if they're willing to spend countless hours doing that and having to save all the small increments of money they get over time, they must be really fucking miserable. So if they want to spend it all on feeling better for a few hours, whatever. Life's tough, I won't judge them for it.

Or maybe they're just really hungry. I don't know. I just like seeing peoples faces light up like that. I hope this week is a decent one.
