My Latest Obsession

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Its not very often that I will say that a guy is really hot and that I will get some what obsessive over a guy. This is mainly because I tend to be more attracted to personality so I will start to like a guy after getting to know him, rather than spotting him and liking him because he’s good looking. Another part of it may be because I’ve been living in somewhat of a bubble lately and haven’t been paying attention.

I’ve had my celebrity crushes before like Orlando Bloom, Robert Pattinson (and a ton of others, but its been so long since I’ve been this obsessed with a hugely famous male celebirty that you would probably make fun of me for listing them here). But I find I tend to like the lesser known actors, especially if they’re Canadian. My most recent (before my current) was Jake Epstein, obviously I sitll like him becuase I’m still running the only current fansite (the only other ones I can find haven’t been updated in over a year).

My latest obsession, is of course another lesser known Canadian actor/musician. His name: Kyle Riabko.

Ok, first of all, he is really friggen hot!! And, as I said, its been a long time since I’ve said a guy was hot. Not cute, but HOT.

On top of that he a friggen amazing musician! And he’s also a really good actor. I haven’t seen him act a lot, but he was a few episodes of one of my favourite Candian shows, Instant Star. He was only in the last season (season 4) and you didn’t see him much so I didn’t really notice him a whole lot. Actually, I didn’t even know who he was. I mean I knew (sort of) who Kyle Riabko was. I knew he was an actor/singer/musician but I didn’t pay close enough attention to Milo (his character in Instant Star) to really notice him. I did know that he had written and sang songs for the soundtrack though and I really liked his songs.

I recently downloaded some of his music from iTunes and I’ve been obsessed ever since.

He’s also really funny too. I listened to his music that he did with this guy called Boots Factor. They call themselves Trevor Jackson. And its so hilarious. Its really good music, but so funny too. I had a hard time listening to his other music after listening to Trevor Jackson because I was still laughing. I couldn’t take his other music seriously for about an hour lol.

Also, the videos he has on his youtube page are so funny! You seriously have to watch. Especially this one: Trevor Jackson’s Best Film Yet Hilarious!!

Anyways, I should’ve bee nready for be a while ago because I have to get up for work at 4:30, but here I am. 10:06. Still awake. Still dressed. Still wearing make-up.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot to mention, Kyle is currently touring in the Broadway Musical Spring Awakening as Melchior. But only for like another week. Oddly enough, Jake Epstein is taking over his role. In fact, he’s already been added to the website, and Kyle is gone :( probably because Jake already did one performance a couple nights ago. But I can tell you that yesterday, Kyle was still on the website and Jake wasn’t. Anyways…..

Good night everyone!

P.S. I’M GOING TO SEE TRANSFORMERS 2 TOMORROW NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUPER EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Moving.

Saturday, June 13th, 2009

I haven’t posted in a while because, well, I’ve been busy and stressed and stuff. My last post was about whether or not to move. Well, now my decision has been made. Its going to be a pain in the ass, but its done.

Today, we got our first offer on the house. We accepted. No counter offer. Just accepted. In the houses that I remember selling (the one we lived in from when I was 5 until I was 13, and the one we lived in from when I was 13 until I was 18) we had counter offers. This is the first one, I am aware of, that we did not make any counter offers. They offered a little below our asking, not too much, and I don’t think they really had any conditions, except the closing date, which is fine. They had a couple issues with dates, but it worked out. I guess their house closes on July 15th or 13th or maybe it was the 25th, something like that. And they, at first wanted  around then, but now apparently they’re going on holidays so the date is like August 12th or 1st or something. I totally forget now and my parents aren’t here right now (and didn’t take their cell phone, as per usual lol) so I can’t even ask.

Anyways, so I am definitely moving before I leave for school.

Speaking of school, on Thursday I got my residence stuff. So, the timing was kind of good… ish. lol. I don’t know. This is so weird. So, I’m moving soon. Then I’m leaving for school right away. We chose the date September 2nd for me to move in to residence. School starts on the 7th. Still don’t know exactly how I’m getting there. My parents haven’t decided yet if all three of us will fly out and I will get a new car there or if all three of us, two of us, or one of us will drive out and my parents will both fly back. Lol. We have no idea yet. This is so whacked out and stressful.

I also have to find a job or two or three in Medicine Hat so I have more money before I leave. I’m still hoping I will be able to transfer to the Michael’s there so I can stay with the company (and I’ll probably work at the one in Oshawa too when I’m at school. I don’t know. This is so friggen stupid but I can’t do anything about it. I want to stay with Michaels until I can get a job in the web industry though because I really like working for them and it would show a certain amount of loyalty, even though I’m going from store to store because of things that are out of my control.

If I do work in the Medicine Hat store, it’ll be the third Michael’s I’ve worked for. I worked in the Grande Prairie store for 5 months when I was in grade 12 (in 2005), then I moved. Last summer I worked in the Lethbridge store for like 2 months (no one in Taber would hire me for the first two months of summer break so finally my dad agreed that I should apply in Lethbridge) then I went away to school for one semester. When I came back I applied for jobs in Taber again and no one would hire me again so I finally went to Lethbridge again and ended up back at Michaels again (same store, second time). Now I’m moving to Medicine Hat, hopefully will be able to transfer so I don’t have to reapply or anything, which is easier, I think. Then I’m also hoping that I can either transfer to the Oshawa store or I will quit and then apply once I’m there. And if I’m back in Alberta in the summer, and even Christmas maybe, I can work at the Medicine Hat store again. I don’t know, I guess I’ll take that one as is comes.

This is insane and I hate it.
