On a usual day I go with my boyfriend to his place of work (the owners don't mind as we all know each other well) where he delivers pizzas, a good job really, and I enjoy the riding in the passenger seat and aiding him in finding the correct home. I have no job at the moment, so why not? It's the summer and I have time to pass, why not pass it with him. As a treat when I go with him he usually buys me an ice cap from the closest Tim Horton's (unbelievably, there is one at each end of this tiny town, both getting good business) which I love!
The only problem I have found myself facing is that I worry that we may be spending a little too much time together, though I am enthusiastic about the things we do together. It isn't a huge concern as we are both equally happy to be around each other that much. I guess it's just a small part of me that worries, as usual, that is what you can expect from me, always a worrier.
I bring a book and I read while he is in the shop helping make pizzas but when he has a delivery we get the chance to talk without distraction (for example *Ahem* x-box 360 and the like) which gives me the opportunity to get to do what I like, talking. And of course at the end of his shift we usually debate on what to do for the rest of the night, most of the time the decision ends up being just sitting at home, or taking a walk.
So yeah, sometimes the work can get frustrating and we both drive each other up the wall we get more time to more and more about each other (as if there is anything we don't already know) but I wouldn't want it any other way. So even when he is working at his job, we are also working on our relationship, building stronger and better bonds every moment.

Friends that last.
Tonight was a wonderful night, and the day, of course was just as great. I had the chance to hang out with Meghan for the most part of the day, and as the sun began to set we were joined by my boyfriend, then, shortly after hers, and a friend of his.
The day was filled with laughter, chatting and certainly coffee and cigarettes. We spent most of the day outdoors, and my dad made steaks while I made cheesy garlic bread for lunch. After chowing down, we talked about our boyfriends, what we were planning, my blog and our friendship. Also on our list of things to talk about was of course, growing up, a subject in which neither of us is too fond of.
After careful consideration on who was pitching money we decided to head out for supper, which in my opinion was quite late. We went to our favourite place first but it turned out that they were closing, so we migrated down the street to the next restaurant of choice for pizza. We discussed what was the best deal and got two pizzas, the price at that time totalled around $20.00, perfect price, until we added two pitchers of Pepsi, which brought the total to roughly $40.00. Wow, nice price jump, but Mike was there to save the day....with money!
Finishing the mediocre pizzas we headed out once again to enjoy the beautiful night. We headed towards the corner store (Couche-Tard in Montreal speak) which is really Macs so that Tyler could get a lighter, because two out of six people had one, yay for unpreparedness. After this we headed back in the direction we came only to sit behind a drug store. Meghan and I sat on the benches watching the boys and enjoying our ciggies, when all of a sudden we hear an odd noise and around the corner comes Jessie (My brother) with a shopping cart, the left over pizza and his hat inside. After removing the items Tyler decided he would make a seat out of lone cart, until that failed and he fell over sideways(Hehe). Special boys... Eventually we left that area and headed elsewhere, still only a short walk from our previous location, until it began to rain. We then began to walk home.
After that our night slowly regressed and everyone headed home, except for Tyler of course. All in all it was a wonderful night. It just proves that even when friends seem to be slipping away, they are always at your side, you just need a night like one from the past to bring it all back.

Appreciating the parents.
Some teens call them a burden, hell they may even say they hate them, I, am different. I love my parents more than any other being in the world ( Next are my brother, Jessie and my boyfriend, Tyler.) They have and always will be there for me when I need them most, and sometimes, around when I don't need them at all.
There is not a good enough way to show your appreciation for your parents, for all of the things they do and say. They try there hardest to make sure you have a wonderful life and a good time doing it. There are countless times that I can remember, sitting in the backyard on a bright summer morning, sipping at coffee, and laughing.
My mother, Yes, that is where I will start. She can make me smile, when the entire world around me turns grey. She is an interesting, caring, down to earth person, as am I. I have learned most of my traits from my mother, and I wouldn't want it any other way. She makes me want to be my best every single day. She teaches me everything I need to know about life. ( I just wish I could pick up her cooking skills!) I couldn't ask for more from her. However, there are off days as well, everyone has them. Where, I just like to steer clear of mom, I only wish on those days that I could find a way to take away her anger or sorrow the way she does for me, but still, I search for the answer and to no avail.
Now, My father. He has the most insane sense of humor, and yes, it is hilarious. I have learned to be strong and hold onto what I dream from him. He, as well as my mother makes sure that I am happy and does whatever it takes to make sure of that, be it a hug, a freshly made, absolutely delicious grilled cheese ( He makes the best...Mmm.) Or just someone to talk to, he is there as well. My Dad, or daddy Burr as I call him is wonderful at everything he does, and is truly and inspiration and yes, a hero. But, just like my mother, he can have his grouchy streaks too, which, are incurable. So, I just let him be to cool off and everything is fine again, Joking, laughing and talking again.
So all in all, There is no proper way to show your appreciation for everything your parents do for you. I only wish there was, but until there is a good enough way to show them, I will just continue loving them the way I always have and enjoy my life with my parents close by as they always have been, and always will be! I love you guys!!

They just make my day, some days. But I will never be able to thank them enough for raising me right, giving me everything they possibly could and teaching me so many things. As everyone should know, parents are not just caregivers, they are teachers, lovers and of course providers.

To be or not to be friends.
True friends, as they say are hard to come by, and even harder to leave behind. I have found that over the years I have had many friends that have either moved away, or took a different path than the one I had chosen. Time seems to tick away uncaring and swiftly everything changes. Yes, I have just described the basics of every persons feelings. However, I have come to the realisation that yes, although it hurts when they leave and you may never talk to them, or one of the two has taken on a new challenge in life they have shaped you into who you are today.
Friends are like the glue of the world, they make sure that when you come undone, broken or lost, they will pick up the pieces and set you back up right. I personally don't know where I would be without the companionship of my friend Kayla. She stood by me through some of the hardest things I have went through in my life so far. She made me laugh and feel better when everything felt wrong. Then, of course, she moved, as did I, and we barely spoke to each other, we actually had plans not that long ago to meet up and have a day, but as usual the plans became non existant, and we once more faded away.
Then came Amanda, I met her in Queen Elizabeth Public School, where her and I stirred up a wonderful friendship for the next 5 years to come. I enjoyed her presence in every aspect of my life. Her family actually considered me family soon enough into our friendship. We went everywhere together and stayed up into the wee hours of the morning, laughing, talking and just plain old sitting around. This time, it was I who took the separate path, I began hanging out with new people, liking boys and of course, dating them.
Meghan, I am not even sure how to explain our relationship. I am still friends with her today, I talk to her as much as I can, and I appreciate the time we get to spend together now because it is few and far between. She works, and I am searching for a job, and of course, she, just like me, enjoys the company of her boyfriend, but at one point, we were inseparable, we would walk all around the town we live in from dusk till dawn, barely eating, and laughing at everything. I only wish I could turn back time and still have that with her, but it seems as though the cruel hands of the clock never stop ticking.
John, well, He was definitely someone special. He was the comedian of our social circle. He made everyone laugh constantly, and always seemed to be happy, however, when his temper did boil over, it was very hard to calm him down. He was never violent, just, sometimes rude. We loved him none the less. He moved away not that long ago, it is only a half an hour drive from our hometown, but it seems impossible to make it out that way often, but when we do get together, it seems as though nothing has changed, I wouldn't want it any other way.
Tyler, well he is both my friend, and my love. I am happy to say that I am still with him today, and I hope that we stay this way for a very, very long time.
My friends are my life, plain and simple. I am sure that anyone reading this can find a little piece of themselves thinking of the people who helped influence who they are today. I love who I am, and I have them to thank.

Partners, for life?
What is it that humans look for in another to find the "Lifelong Partner"?
Attraction is definitely a key in finding the partner. It is not solely based on "Sexy" or "Hot" more likely the human instinct to reproduce. If someone is not attracted to the person they believe to be there soul mate, then they are less likely to want to procreate with the person, striking them from the opposites idea of a partner. Although some would call this shallow, in reality it isn't, it is a way to ensure that the race continues, healthy and strong. Most women who have large hips, and in general are not bone thin feel as though they are not good enough, this is not true. 61.6% percent of men would actually prefer a curvy woman with normal breasts, according to a study found in Cosmopolitan magazine. Men enjoy a woman with a real body than one of only skin and bones. A curvier body is more likely to support the growth of a fetus in the womb, and of course, average sized breasts are an eye catcher as they are sufficient size to produce enough milk.
Personality and values are two other important factors in choosing "The one". Two people who are hoping to make it in the world would need a personality that meshes well or there would be far too many fights to keep both man and woman happy. For example if a woman and man both a had a strong stubborn personality than there would be no give an take in the relationship, which, is most definitely required. People need to be able to come to a common understanding and agree on specific things, or as said before, neither would achieve happiness. Values, if two people were to have completely different values on life it would be hard to support all of them. If a man had the value the animals are nothing more than something to eat ( other than domesticated species) and the woman had a value that all living creatures deserve to life a full life, than she would feel as though her feelings didn't matter, especially with a stubborn personality!
Also, everyone has a preference on what they want in their opposite. Make sure that both partners are happy in a relationship, not just one. It is a give and take, like said before and both partners need their say in almost every matter. It is never okay to cling to one person, even if they don't make the other happy, because remember, there are plenty of fish in the sea!
