Chandler

I have come to the conclusion that I own probably the happiest cat in the entire world. He goes by the name Chandler; And this is his story.

So my roommate and I decided to move into our own apartment back in late 2009 and by the time April 2010 rolled around we had already started packing our bags. On May 1st , we pack everything into a U-Haul and dragged it an hour and a half away from our respective homes and moved it into our new apartment in London. That was only the beginning.

Not a week after we moved in did we decide that the best thing for us to do right now was to get a cat. I mean .. thats what everyone does when they first move out - isnt it? Anyways .. so we head out to one of two PetSmart stores here in London and we started to look for our new cat. The first one we went to we saw Bing. A 3 year old, grey furred badass. We were going to take him right there but we decided we should do some "comparrison shopping" before we jumped right in. So we headed out to look around at some other stores and just decided that we didnt want to look around anymore so we decided then and there to get Bing. I think we liked him so much was because he had the last name of one of our favourite characters from "Friends" who was named "Chandler Bing".

Just one problem ... Bing was GONE.

Our hearts sank. Bing had gone to someone else who was way smarter than us and could make a decision without thinking it over. Oh well. None of the other cats there had really made us feel the way Bing had so we decided to head over to the other PetSmart in town and hope that maybe, just maybe there would be another cat just like Bing.

And thats where Chandler comes in...But before he was Chandler he was ... MIKE.

Sadly we drove to the other PetSmart, feeling hopeless and empty without Bing in our life but hopefull that we would find someone similar. When we got there it was just a bunch of small kittens who really liked to meow. A lot. But down in the end cage laying in his litter was Mike. He had a crazy pink nose and looked altogether goofy. After about 10 minutes it came down to an orange 4 month old ginger cat, Mike; a 7 month old tuxedo cat, and a terrifying looking white cat.
In the end I think I made the final decision and I chose Mike.

On the drive home Elisha and I had decided that Mike was too normal of a name and our cat needed to be called something more respectable. At that time we were still grieving the loss of Bing and we were contemplating renaming Mike, Bing but we thought that it would remind us of our loss - so we decided on the next best thing.

Chandler.

Since then we have given him a lot of ridiculous nicknames - that Im sure if he could understand human - he would just love. But that is the story of Chandler (Bing) and why he is so awesome.

This is Today.

Im feeling emo for some reason. I want to watch Boy Meets World. Boy Meets World makes everything happy.

Wee ooohhh wee ooohhh

The the sound of sirens. Here in the city they are an almost constant sound. I hear them so much Im beginning to be able to tell them apart. Police sirens - Ambulance sirens - and Firetruck sirens. Its just so awesome.

So my computer broke for about the 4th time since returning from Cuba. I took it into Futureshop today and they got it working .. hopefully it stays working for a long long time. All I really do on this computer is play World of Warcraft and lurk facebook so its not like Im missing too much but I do rather enjoy both of those things.

Oohhhh and Ive got a job now .. sort of ... Im waiting to hear from the people about coming in for orientation so hopefully that happens this week. AAAANNNDDD Elisha got a job too. So now we are finally actually doing something in London and not just sitting around all day like the fools we are. I will be trying to document as much of my time working at the Loblaws hot food area - whatever its called - as much as possible since Im sure everyone wants to read about that.

In other news - I really want to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas. I have been singing the songs from it all week and the copy I own is currently at my parents house all the way in Simcoe. So boo. Hopefully Elisha and I pick it up soon so we can watch it and stop singing the songs.

Im keeping this blog today short and sweet.

In Retrospect...

So staying up all night wasnt the best idea Ive ever had in my life. I managed to stay up until 9:3o and I met up with Cait and he friend Leslie and her cousin Jamie for breakfast at Coras. When I got home at around 10:30 I fell asleep almost instantly when I sat on the chair in the living room. When Elisha rolled out of bed at 11ish, I was passed out on the couch and apparently I was talking to Elisha while I was still sleeping and she told me it was absolutely ridiculous. So I went to bed at 12ish and didnt wake up till 6:30. That is the last time I want to stay up all night. Its 10:36pm right now and Im so tired I could just roll over and fall asleep until tomorrow morning.

So now Im going to go try and keep myself occupied until I just dont care enough and then Im going to bed.

Goodnight folks.

Sooooo....

Its been an interesting September to say the least. Went to Cuba for my moms 60th bithday and when Elisha and I returned home I found out that my computer had decided that it was going to break while we were gone. I dont know why it decided to do this seeing as it worked fantastic before we left. When we got back on the 14th, I tried to start up my computer and it just wasnt working so I took it into Futureshop. They told me if would need a new hard drive and so thats what they did, they put in a brand new hard drive. So I went to go pick it up and guess what .. they lost the power cord making the computer useless. So I give Futureshop hell and the next day Ive got a brand new power cord. So I think "awesome - Ive got my computer back at no price to me." I get a chance to use it for one night and when I go to turn it on in the morning I come to find thats its broke. Again. And its got the same problem as it did when I took it in the first time. So I take myself back to Futureshop and explain the issue again. So they take my computer and Im told everything will get figured out THIS time. So I give them a call today and I have come to find out that they have replaced the hard drive that they put in the first time it needed to be fixed and tried it out and they found that that hard drive was defective so they have had to order another one from Toshiba and try and figure out whats going on.

So thats basically been my whole September. Im hoping October brings better things.

So apparently ...

The last time I actually wrote on this blog thing here was back in November of 2009 .. and it seems like that date is soon approaching. Dont you love how you start these things and you're all excited to write in it everyday and keep track of what you're doing? But then about 2 weeks in you basically forget all about it other than maybe once a month where all you really need to do is TYPE? Well Im that person. Hello, My name is Cassie Lear. Anyways, Im sitting here at 2:30ish in the morning and Im lurking the internet like usual and Im on my facebook page and I see this link just hanging out daring to be clicked by the unsuspecting fool (myself), and I think, "By golly! Timmy fell down the well!". And naturally all I can think to do is blog about it...Nevermind calling for help or employing lassie .. The only logical thing to do is tell the internet.

So in the hopes that someone actually reads this and gets Timmy some help - because I dont really think Im qualified for that yet - I leave you with these parting words.

"Last words are for fools who havent said enough."

Oh, and hey - You should really get some help for Timmy. I dont know how long he can hang out in that well for....

Gotta Love them Sirens.

So its been a while. Since sometime in September I think. Anyways .. my friend Amy made a new blog and it didnt really inspire me to write a new blog but Im bored and theres nothing to do here so I figured why not. I returned to London not to long ago after being home for the weekend. I went home on Thursday because I hadn't felt good all week and I wanted some new scenery. Its SO exciting being back. I just love sitting in my room all alone for hours on end. So nothing to exciting has happened lately .. Amy's got the swine, my mom is sick with something so I expect her to call tomorrow to tell me she's dying or something, My house FINALLY sold so thats pretty awesome .. And thats about all thats happened. OH! I went to Halloween Haunt last weekend .. it was AMAZING. I went with Elisha, Jordan and Robin and we met Lisa and a friend of hers there so it was a pretty big group. We basically just walked around and went to all of the sweet mazes and took pictures. But before we got there .. we went to CHUCK E CHEESE. It was awesome. It was also my first time there .. EVER. I probably wont ever go back because it was loud and hot, but it was still so much fun. I think that is where Elisha, Jordan, Robin and I all got sick .. because we have all basically .. been sick. Im only suffering from a cough right now so Im all better.

Hopefully this week of school goes better than last week .. I didnt go to any classes last week so if I can even make it to one this week will be way better. Im going to try to go to EVERY class but I think we all know that wont happen any time soon.

Thats all for now folks .. stop by again sometime. ha
