New Favourite Song EVER!


Okay, so I know this is a cover but I heard the cover before I heard the original and I fell in love with it, not to mention this girls voice as well! So take a listen and fall in love. 


Cups (When I'm Gone) by Lulu and the Lampshades cover from Pitch Perfect: 


If you liked that song and want to learn how to "play" the cups part you can watch this girl's instructional video, super helpful! 



Or, if you just can't get it or can't sing and play at the same time (like me) you can use this "karaoke" video. 

Enjoy :) 

This.



...that is all

Grinds My Gears.



You know what really grinds my gears? Well, a lot of things but I'm just going to touch on some of them right now. First thing, parents (after moving out on your own).  I understand they worry and all but it's one thing to show concern and another to blatantly show that they have no confidence in you and expect you to fail. Here's an example for you. The other day my boyfriend posted a status about his terrible morning, I guess his parents' friend saw it and commented on it telling him that if he moved back home to his parents house he wouldn't have those kind of problems because they would take care of him. His mom later on commented agreeing with her friend and pointed out that things wouldn't be like that at her house. By saying this they both directly implied that I'm not doing a good enough job keeping things in order. At first when I read all of these comments I was really angry. But then I thought "you know what? That makes no sense whatsoever." His whole status was about how when he woke up he stepped in pee (because we have a puppy), then he went out to start and brush off his truck (which is a lie because I did it, just like I do every morning) and while he was outside the dog ate his breakfast (which is also a lie because he never gets up early enough to eat breakfast) and found out that his truck wouldn't start because it wasn't plugged in (even though it started fine and was plugged in the night before) and then he backed into a tree because there was snow covering the back window and blah blah blah. Anyway  back to the point, these people are saying that if he were to move back home then these things would never happen, but to me that just doesn't sound right at all. His parents live 45 minutes out of town so he would have to wake up even earlier, which he wouldn't do seeing as the whole reason he was late was because he didn't get up on time, the only difference there would be is that he wouldn't have any excuses as to why he was late and would be forced to be honest about it. The fact that they think that he would be better off living back at home irritates me because they have no clue what goes on in our home, and what we do. They were saying things like "oh your mom will take care of you" and "I'd even make your lunch!" Basically saying that he would have everything handed to him. First of all, he already does have a lot of things handed to him. I do all of the housework, his only "chores" consist of taking out the garbage, helping me with dishes, and getting me to and from work and it's on his way to his classes anyway  I also do all of the budgeting and expenses. All he ever has to do is take out his half of the money for rent once a month and the landlords come and collect it. Any other bills I personally pay for through online accounts that I have created and I keep record of everything that has to be paid, and when it was paid. I even pay for half of his gas. I keep track of who pays for groceries and make sure it's always balanced between the two of us and a lot of times I'll buy things we need and won't write it down because I don't mind picking up a few things without making him pay for half of them. Another comment on the status was "think of all of the money you'd save!" But in reality, not much. He would no longer have someone paying for half of his gas and he'd be spending $25 in gas every day to get to school and back from where they live, not including going other places (he has school 5 days a week so that's $125 a week or $500 a month, which is substantially larger than what he pays for rent in a month and with the other bills it would be about roughly the same).

 I know I take good care of my boyfriend, in fact I feel like I often put him before myself. I may not be perfect and sometimes things get a little hectic and it's hard to keep up with life but I try my hardest and I'm only just transitioning into adulthood. We have been living on our own for only 5 months, I'm not going get the hang of it right away but I will eventually. And another thing that blew my mind once I started thinking about it, do they have no aspirations for him whatsoever? Do they really expect him to live with his parents for the rest of their lives? I mean, he has to go his own way eventually, so why not let him do it now? I don't know if it's just because maybe they don't like me or something, but regardless, you have to let your kid do what he wants, not what you think he should do, because I'm sorry to say but he's an adult now who can make his own decisions. It's time for him to be a man, it's time for him to make mistakes and learn from them, it's time for him to figure things out himself and stop clinging to mommy whenever he needs something. One thing you need to know when you're finally an adult and are out facing the world on your own for the first time is that you have to be able to figure things out no matter what life throws at you. Instead of sitting there complaining about it you should do something about it. Had a bad morning? Make the next one better by being prepared. Something is bothering you? Talk about it and find a solution. Have money problems? Get a second (or better) job. I did. I was working two jobs and still came home and did housework and paperwork, AND I'm still trying to go through schooling too. You can't lean on your parents forever, and parents have to stop being "helicopter parents" you can't always be there, your "little baby: is not a baby any more. Offer support if they need, give advice but never try and do everything for your kid or they will never be successful in life because they will always be waiting for whatever to be handed to them. I'm sorry if this is very blatant or offensive to some people but I'm entitled to my own opinion and sharing my personal views from my own experiences. I'm not saying this is how it goes with every "helicopter parent" and their kid but I've seen it lots. And take it from someone who has worked for everything she has ever had in her whole life, it feels much better when you accomplish something on your own and you appreciate it more than when you get something handed to you. 

I'm done ranting for now.

A Bunch of My Creations :)

Here are just a few of my wonderful creations. Please excuse the pictures with the poor quality, it was taken with a webcam as my camera battery is dead and MIA. Enjoy! :) 








Slenderrrr!

If you have ever played the game "Slender" you will understand this picture. If you have not, you probably should. Unless, that is, you have a heart condition or something. The game itself is not extremely terrifying or gory or anything but it is suspenseful and makes you jump. Also, that whole sweaty palm thing is a real pain in the butt. Anyways, I drew this picture, enjoy :) Oh, and don't mind the terrible webcam quality, my camera was dead. 



Also, here is a picture that my boyfriend drew of slenderman vs. Pokemon :3

I Clean Toilets For a Living

For all of you that don't know I am a housekeeper. I like some parts of it, I hate some parts of it but overall for the most part I enjoy my job because of the awesome people I work with and the friendly, comfortable environment I work in. But there are a few downsides to my job, such as the actual cleaning part. Sometimes you get awesome people staying in the rooms who are generally neat and tidy and some even partially clean the room before they leave. Then there are people who stay in a room and absolutely destroy the place, it's like they walked into the hotel and decided "I am going to make this housekeeper's life a living hell. You're welcome housekeeper." Here's a few examples of what I've dealt with going from gross to just pure annoying. 

Someone puked on the bed that the guest didn't even attempt to clean up, just left it sitting in a great big pile for me to clean. I didn't have to clean that room thankfully, but I was on laundry that day which meant I had to clean the blanket is was ALL over. The housekeeper who had brought me the blanket set it aside so that I didn't accidentally grab it and get puke all over myself but then another housekeeper came in, unknowingly picked it up and put it with the rest of the blankets, smearing puke all over the wall in the process. You know how you can kinda tell what the person was doing before they threw up if you're face to face with their puke? Well, I do. They were not sick because of the flu or another kind of illness. It was the kind of vomit that said "I went across the street to the bar last night, drank way too much and then made the bad decision of going next door and getting McDonalds." I'll tell you I'm definitely not eating McDonald's for awhile, that's for sure! 

Another time I had to clean a room that a family was staying in. I expected it to be dirty as kids are pretty hard to keep up with but it wasn't just the kids that were disgusting. I guess when the parents changed the kids diapers they figured that there was no need to neatly roll them up before putting them into the garbage can and that leaving them wide open with crap everywhere was totally acceptable. Well, not only that but they also decided that they would much rather not have the garbage bag in the garbage can where it belongs but it would be much better laying amongst all of the fast food wrappers and other garbage on the table. So, guess where those open dirty diapers went. Yepp, right into the garbage can with no bag in it. Shit EVERYWHERE on the inside of it. Guess who had to clean it. Yepp, me. 

I'll leave just those two gross ones as your stomache is probably churning and you're saying "No! No more!" So we'll move onto the annoying things. Luckily, there are more annoying things than gross things but when I find gross things they're just really gross. I've also heard many other horror stories from people who have worked there longer, so glad I haven't experienced that.. yet. 

A group of high school volleyball players recently came to town and decided my workplace would be the best place to book a whole bunch of rooms. When I heard that this was happening I was already not enthused as I absolutely HATE teenagers, (the stereotypical ones anyways) and I realized that I was really in for it when I was waiting for my boyfriend to come pick me up and a small group of volleyball players came in with their chaperones so they could book their rooms separately from the rest of the team. I had just gotten off work and had a killer headache (we had to rearrange a lot of guests in the hotel to make proper room for the teams so it was a long day) and they walk in there like they own the place and start yelling excitedly about all sorts of things. Mostly just Jersey Shore references which tells you something about their IQ level. Mostly all I heard while they were checking in was a lot of "YEAAAAH BUDDY" and "AWWW YEAAAH! YEAH!" I was so close to smacking them in the face and telling them to sit down and shut up but I kept my cool. \

I get to work the next morning after that and want to hit them even more when I found out that they got their hands on some silly string from the dollar store. I would also like to stop here and say something, Our location is probably the worst location EVER. Right across from us we have a bar, and a mini mall with a dollar store inside it. On our left we have McDonalds, and on our right we have an intersection. So, it's always impossible to get in/out of work because of constant traffic, the guests decide to go and get drunk at the bar and get McDonalds which leaves me with puke and lots of ketchup covered garbage to clean up, and the guests go buy stupid annoying little things from the dollar store just to piss me off. Anyways, I got to work and there was silly string in all of their rooms (thank god I didn't have those ones, I got the coaches rooms) and down the hallway. It wasn't a huge deal to clean up or anything since it was already hardened I and just picked up what I could and vacuumed the rest but it was extra work for us housekeepers to do. It just showed/proved that teenagers are inconsiderate and don't give two shits about anyone but themselves. And yes, I am 19, but I am not one of them. 

Also, the other day I went into a room to clean it and found that the bathroom was absolutely covered in white. It looked like some coke-head through a party in the bathroom. Luckily, it was not illegal drugs and only baby powder but it was still a bitch to clean up. It wasn't gross, and actually smelled nice and clean, it's just that as we all know, or should know, when you wet a powdery substance it turns to paste. So, whenever I sprayed the tub/sink/counter/toilet/floor with the cleaner it would turn into a paste-like substance. I had to wash everything at least 3 times and use the hose from the vacuum afterwards. It normally takes me 5 to 10 minutes max to clean a bathroom, this one took me 20, so it was just a waste of my time. The result of that day was me making this meme. 


When you clean toilets for a living, you have to have a good sense of humour. Instead of getting angry that I have all these messes to clean up I find things to laugh at instead, which isn't hard when you're a housekeeper. Some of the things you find in rooms makes you laugh pretty hard (such as walking in to a room with a broken bed), as well as some of the stories you hear from your co-workers (such as hearing a story of how that one girl who picked on you all through out high school had sex with a whole hockey team and got arrested for being drunk and partially naked in the stairwell after she had been kicked out of the room). Yepp, being a housekeeper is not an easy job but some things just make it totally worthwhile. 

But just a little reminder before I end this post, next time you stay in a hotel or motel or whatever, do not leave the room a mess. Put all of your garbage in the garbage cans (WITH bags in them!), throw out the soap/shampoo or whatever you used in the shower so we don't have to touch your buttcrack soap, if you make a gross mess at least attempt to clean it up to the best of your ability, and if you want to go the extra mile strip the bed! It makes our job a lot easier. And if you don't do these things and you stay where I work. I will hunt you down and smack you. Just kidding, I wouldn't do that. But seriously though.
