My Return to Empire Avenue - and Blogging!

Hi everybody. Today I thought it would be the PERFECT day to return from my 5 month hiatus because of [X]pendapalooza. I decided to take a break from blogging, posting youtube videos, and from Empire Avenue over the summer because I have had a lot of stuff going on in my life as of late including work, family stuff, deaths, etc...

Unfortunately since the last time I blogged my parrot Chester died. He had night frights and injured himself. More importantly, my brother's best friend was brutally murdered on Halloween. It has been a really sad and emotional time for myself and those I love. The person who killed her has still not been caught. It makes me very angry and sad. Needless to say, the past few months have been full of trials for me and thus my hiatus from most things internet related.

However, after relentless pestering from my friends from the Super Secret Awesome Group I am back on Empire Avenue and I thought I'd come in with a bang! I had 33 million eaves to spend this morning and due to [X]pendapalooza I decided to try and give back a significant portion of those eaves to you guys to spend on others via having Shareholder Missions. I have to say I am very impressed and grateful at how well these have been received and I am looking forward to continuing to chat with all of you via twitter, empire avenue and on the facebook group pages.

So now, as my shareholder mission #5 comes out - I suppose my blog will get a much needed onslaught of new followers!

Cheers to you guys, and thank you for reading and participating.

Love,
Elle.

Empire Avenue Hockey Pool - Regular Season

Hi Everybody - this year we will be using a pool manager and you will be allowed to have TRADES!

I need the following information messaged to me on Empire Avenue ASAP:
1. Your team name.
2. Your e-mail address.
3. How many days per week do you want updates e-mailed to you?
4. Your Picks. I need the following: 5 East Forwards, 5 West Forwards, 5 East Defense, 5 West Defense, 1 East Goalie, 1 West Goalie.


Because this year you can trade this is going to work on an honour system. I will check your picks frequently. Any person who trades outside of the East/West guidelines (for example, picking having 5 West forwards and only 4 East) will be immediately suspended indefinitely from the hockey pool.

The Stakes:
I didn't end up claiming my prize for the Playoff Pool. I'm going to up the ante this year because of this. Every player who plays agrees to purchase the winner a 10,000 view ad on Empire Avenue with the wording of the winner's choice. IF YOU ARE LAST PLACE - you agree to purchase THREE 10,000 view ads with the wording of the winners choice.

Please get your info and picks to me AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I will be inputting my picks tonight. Claim your points folks!

It's been a while.

I know that I haven't messaged people from the Playoff Hockey Pool yet about what ad I want placed. I am hoping to do it in the coming week or two. Sorry! A lot of them have now deleted so I'm going to be kinda screwed. lol Oh well. It's my own fault.

Anyways, I haven't written for a while because it has been a crazy eventful summer. Russell is now moved in with me, and unfortunately Tish leaves in two days. Going to miss my little Reptar. I know she'll be back soon.

Anyways, I spent several weeks in BC in June/July and did some camping as well. Mosquitoes were a biggity bitch. Still are. Holy hell.

The night we got back my next door neighbours house caught fire. It was pretty scary. I managed to break my toe that night - badly. It still hurts and is still swollen. Then once I finally get back to work I end up with the worst tonsilitis I think I've ever had in my life. Still on medication for it but fortunately I only have 2 or 3 more days left.

Anyways, now that my brother starts a new job tomorrow it seems as though I'll finally get back into a routine. I've worked really hard this year, and I needed the time off (although it was more stress than it was worth probably). I look forward to the rest of the year and spending time with my brother and going to concerts. Hoping that once the new routine is established we'll get to writing and recording some new music for everybody, since it is long overdue.

For some reason this week I thought a lot about past relationships with people. Wondering how people are doing. Wondering about what's his face and a couple of others. My ex had a beautiful baby boy with his girlfriend a couple weeks ago. Such a little cutie. I am so happy for them and I hope they decide to tie the knot soon. They're really a great couple. I think it kind of got me a big nostalgic, not only out more recent previous relationships but all the men who have once been in my life as a whole. I'm glad that I can say for the most part that I look back at a majority of things with good memories and a happy heart. Although I still feel to this day that I haven't had closure with one person in particular - I can say that I am one of the lucky few who hasn't managed to burn many bridges. With this one person, I don't feel as though I'll ever feel closure until they speak to me again. They were a close friend, and it kind of eats at me that I don't have the person in my life anymore. My friends and family would tell me I'm stupid for feeling that way. I just don't like to end things on bad terms I guess.

I'm blabbing. Just have a lot on my mind and I am procrastinating going to bed. Now that in the coming months it seems things might become a little easier for me, I think it's time to finally start saying yes and living life a bit. I'm off to bed. I'll write more later. Love to my SSAG crazy chatty motherfuckers. xoxo
