Welcome back! [first post since losing internet - RIP]

As you may or may not have known, Stephanie and I recently [back on June 1st] moved into our first apartment together! [fucking finally, Am I Right?] However, one thing that I wasn't used to right away was the [lack of] internet. As it turned out, we wouldn't be getting internet for nearly three weeks; and had to find ways to occupy our time accordingly. Thankfully, being in the 21st century- we had video games at our disposal and a load of movies to watch if time allowed. [and I mean a load- see our new movie shelf below]

[the worst part is that's 'part one' of a bookshelf for movies!]

The other thing that's been occupying my time; is drawing on my Bamboo Tablet. For those unaware of what this is- it's basically a tablet [as it's implied] which you plug into your computer and it comes with a stylus to draw.. Being the sketch-artist I am, I figured without internet: why the fuck not. One drawing in particular that I did stuck out, and I'm going to show you- simply because I can [no self promotion or anything here!]

 

I think he looks kinda pretty, don't you?

If you follow the fan page on Facebook, [found here] you probably would have noticed that I mentioned that there is a load of new posts coming to Firework Eyes & Haunted Hearts; and this is true. Considering I am now in an apartment, I find that some posts may actually be posted late at night.. This is possible because when Steph goes to bed, I can officially stay up [in the living room, sitting on the couch: which is where I am now as I type this] and type to my life's content [assuming I don't need to get up super early the next morning]. As opposed to before when we were living at my grandparents; if I wanted to type when she goes to sleep, the light of the laptop would more than likely keep her awake.  I guess that's basically an update on how the move went, and what is now fully expected here on Firework Eyes & Haunted Hearts; Expect a lot.. Even to the point where there may be more than one post a day!

Life is changing- a personal post.

If you couldn't tell by the title, I'm feeling a little off-base, due to the fact that I feel like my life is changing [this is not a bad thing, but in fact a good thing]. Within the coming months following toward next September, a lot of things I'm used to are going to be changing. Before I begin, however- be aware that this is a personal post- but don't worry, the horror/geek stuff will be back in the next posts.. I promise, I just want to get this off my mind..

Number 1; Stephanie & I are finding a [first] place together-

Yep. This is as really as it's gonna get. We've been talking about it ever since we first moved in with my grandparents [here in Ottawa], but now it actually seems to be happening. We've looked at 2 places [and unfortunately got denied one of those places..] but I called a place yesterday that we had seen before [my Aunt used to live in the building] and they're real nice. =)

Number 2; I've been accepted!-

If you read what I post on a regular basis, or just read along as I'm going- you would remember that on February 26th, I mentioned that I had gone for an interview to do with working with Victim Services of Ottawa. [in fact, I'm pretty sure that I used the exact same picture above]  I was getting worried, since it had been about 3-4 weeks since the interview, and I hadn't heard anything back. [one thing that was mentioned in the interview was they were interviewing 70 people, & only accepting 30] Thankfully, I check my emails all the time, [mostly out of paranoia] and realized I had a new email  entitled "You've Been Accepted!" I can hereby say, I've finished all the online training, and I start the actual training [in person] on April 13th.. and I'm excited!

Number 3; My birthday is tomorrow?-

It's true. Tomorrow is the day I turn 21, and I don't have any idea, how to feel about that. I often describe my birthday as a day that I know is coming, but I'm not ready for it.. Whenever someone at work, school, or wherever asks how I feel to be turning 21, I quite literally reply with 'it's weird..' But I'm actually kind of excited for tomorrow- I got work off, and Stephanie and I are planning on going glow in the dark mini putting [I'm what you'd call mature haha]. I'll be sure to post pictures of the entire day, and let you guys know what happened.

I'd just like to end this post by thanking you guys- the readers- for reading this blog in general, even if it's just a post or two. I'm trying to find new ways to get new audiences to read it but I feel like it's not working as well as I initially hoped.
