Announcement!

I have decided something. I am going to resign from No New Stuff. I have done it for the past three-ish months, and I only cheated once, which I think is good. I don't have the desire to buy stuff like I used to, and I just don't really see the point of it anymore. I think it was a great experiment, and very useful. I just don't think it's useful anymore. Especially because I haven't been updating this to keep track of my progress. I know my progress. I haven't broken my rules - I don't want to break my rules. *shrug*

(And yes, I know, I still haven't written the review for Lola. *facepalm* It's mostly typed out, I just need to edit it and make it make sense to more people than just me. SOON. I promise!)

Happy 6 Years HPA!

Yesterday, October 20, 2011, was the HPA's 6th birthday! Wowee! I can't believe that last year so many staffers were gathering to celebrate 5 years in Boston. I can't believe all that I've done in the past year and a bit that I've been on staff, and how much I've changed and just started to love more. I can't believe the friends I made and the memories I made and all the good we have done because of this beloved organization. I can not imagine my life without the HPA and the amazing, amazing people involved.

So HPA, happy birthday. Have a slice of cake on my tonight. And here's to another six years!

(PS: school is crazy, which is why I haven't been keeping up with No New Stuff bogs. But I haven't purchased anything that I didn't need for school! So I'm still going good! But oh man, I want the Lion King so bad. I sure hope I get it for Christmas.)

(PPS: Look for a review of "Lola and the Boy Next Door" soon. In the mean time, take some advice, READ IT, IT'S AMAZING.)

I have been failing so hard at keeping up with blogging. I have been up to my eyebrows in school work the past week, plus I worked on stage for Alberta Arts Days all weekend and I just feel overwhelmed right now. But that could have something to do with the fact that we found out today we can only sign 1 year leases for our apartment, when we were under the impression we could sign a shorter one. So now I'm feeling slightly trapped. This is so very inconvenient, especially seems as I'm playing with the idea of moving to Victoria for design school next year. (I have three options running through my head: UVic for Design, U of A for Design or RDC for MPA. I'm going to apply to all three and see what happens, I think. Put off the decision for as long as I can.)

But No New Stuff is going well. I haven't broken any rules in the past week, so yay for that!
