so freakin' much has happened, but before i get there, i want to talk about everything in between. marina left for the dominican republic on the 8th and she comes back monday, i miss her. i need to recap on a LOT of crap. luckily, i can use the notes i write for marina for most of this stuff.

on the 8th, Mr. Cochrane made a mistake and thought that today was Hanukkah because that's what it said in the agenda. Due to this mistake, we couldn't do the test [no tests on holidays] and we watched a midsummer night's dream instead. he handed back the essays and i got a 97% on it. that makes me so happy, unbelievable. fugly #2 sat beside me and told me that he was going to be my new best friend. god help us all.

in science, conway gave the people who did poorly on the test [i got an 84% :(] a chance to redo the application portion. who has to write the application questions for their test? us, of course. why should he have the burden of creating these tests? then, he proceeded to tell us that all religions are made up of lies, and told us a delightful noah's ark story [beast fable/morality play]. while people slept, i came to the conclusion that if teaching doesn't work out for him, and the construction people won't take him back, why not pursue a career in storytelling? he started talking about the dead sea and female fugly found it necessary to remind him that it is so salty, you can float. however, i would still be surprised to see her floating.

afterschool, this girl beside me says to her friend that some guy said she has "juicy thighs." her friend reassures her this is good. i would definitely have to agree.

the next day, on the 9th, cochrane ignores the fact that pretend Hannukah lasts 8 days and we still have the act II quiz/test, which didn't go so badly. harry is in yosh's group.. hahaha.

then, in science, conway asks fugly #1 if he has a girlfriend. fugly obviously says no and conway tells him that he is single. thank you mr. conway!!! in the midst of forgetting how to spell determining and writing a note, jamar calls cordell a stupid squirrel and conway calls them "lovers." heartwarming moment, it really was.

on the 10th, we spent all of french class decorating the door, which was fun. we made snowflakes. and nikki took them home to put on the fridge, awww.

then, during lunch, jennika approaches me and asks me if she can change the name of my section in the newspaper [i'm an editor of a random/fun section]. the section's name is "hey, that's my bike!" and i loved it. it was random and funny, and now the name has been changed to "the cereal box." what is that?!?! nothing, that's what. i'm confused why she'd do this considering after i talked to her about the name she said, it's your section, do whatever you want. i'm certain natalie put her up to it. i don't like her, she acts like she's the boss of everything. she is, but you don't have to act so superior.

afterschool, marts, ash, and i all went to marta's house to work on the english AMSND scene. alice also came afterward. alice told us that cochrane told her in the hall after english class that he wouldn't be here for the remainder of the semester due to personal matters and that he wanted alice to apologize to the class. i was so stunned, everything was surreal. we began to realize that earlier that day, during english, we were given time to work on our scenes. during that time, mr. sarellis [vice-principal] came into our class and went to speak with cochrane in the hall. no one really payed any attention, i remember i saw it and i thought nothing of it. i didn't even think anything of the fact that cochrane returned to the classroom, put all his things in his briefcase, and left the class without a goodbye. i thought, must have been some emergency. we had a substitute for the rest of the class.

on MSN, rumours started flying about how cochrane's fired. these were the theories:
1. his inappropriate commment during volleyball [which he apologized for and "turned himself in" to another teacher]
2. students and parents complaining that he teaches at a very advanced level, he's an unfair marker, etc.
3. a lot of things have sort of piled on and it's too much.

the next day, december the 12th, we walked into english and there was a substitute. mr. daides looks like he's about 26 years old, fresh out of university. he stood there in front of the class and told us he would be our teacher for the rest of the semester and that cochrane "decided to take a leave of absence." personally, i don't believe that crap. then sarellis came in and repeated everything that daides said. daides will be marking everything, and to make his job [and ours] a little easier, he eliminated the AMSND final test and moved our ISU's to the end of the break. this is all swell, but i don't give a damn.

when he announced that cochrane was on a "leave of absence" all the moronic students in the class [almost everyone] started cheering and jumping up and down. YOU STUPID IDIOTS!!! am i one of the few students that actually appreciate cochrane and the fact that he is an amazing teacher?!? i mean, in a public school, rarely are students given the opportunity to be taught by a teacher that actually knows what he's doing, is enthusiastic, and wants you to succeed. i know it sounds cheesy, but i don't care. when you have music teachers teaching math, you have to appreciate people like cochrane, who had a 98% graduating university.

then elijah starts talking crap about cochrane and how he marks based on cup size. i think he thinks he's some literary genius. he was talking about how cochrane favours people, well, maybe he would favour you too if you actually tried harder.

in science, conway ran across the room for a graph we were doing as a class. poor guy ran out of breath running to the opposite side of the room. i think it's the smoking, just maybe. someone asked him to do it again, he replied saying he's too tired.

yesterday ash came over and we hung around. she brought amazing cookies and i enjoyed them thoroughly. thanks ash, i lub you. when ash left i wrote cochrane an email telling what a privilege it was to be in his class and how he's such an amazing teacher. he wrote back and said that he really appreciates that, and that if i want to help him, i should write to the administration telling them that he's a good teacher. if he thinks it'll help, i'll do it. i knew it was the school, stupid bastards. his subject line in the email was "vlada - you are one of the tallest souls i've ever met" it was so nice, i wanted to cry. i hope i can start something like a protest, petition, something like that to help him. the problem is, it's hard to find people that feel the same way i do. long entry.

i'll try to put some of my newer poems up today.

i can't believe it's almost december.. which means that it's almost winter break. i can't wait except for the fact that i know i'll have 39483982 projects that i'll need to complete. i hate winter, except for the hot chocolate and the snowflakes. otherwise, it's freakin freezing and gloomy and always dark. now it gets dark at like, four pm. in chris rock's words: that ain't right! haha.

i should be working on my english essay right now, but i'm not, so meh. i will right after though, i promise. i was sick for a while. let me recap. on thursday, i came to school feeling terrible and i was going to go call my mom during lunch. but then people started talking about how this one guy named jason was stabbed by raymond. turns out the story was true and there were tons of police cars around and we weren't allowed to leave the cafeteria. everyone was talking about it and it was just so unreal. both guys were in my grade and had been in my class at one point. i couldn't imagine being one of jason's friends. i don't know what i would do if that were to happen to anyone i knew.

apparentely, raymond had brought a knife to school before, and had also tried to stab someone with a pencil to their throat. and yet, he still attended Langstaff. what does a person need to do to get expelled? jesus.

so then, we went back to class and the teachers pretended nothing had happened. and i tried to call my mom but she wasn't at her desk. i don't think she ever does work.. i think she just wanders. but anyway, i tried again afterward and still nothing. lipless secretary yelled at me for being sick and therefore bothering her to call my mom. she wouldn't let my mom talk to me because she said she needed the phone. it's a wonder anyone understands her. my mom yelled back at her, and i got to talk to my mom. the next few days i had a fever and i was really weak. i still have a runny nose, but that's all.

mr. cochrane cancelled our group project but now we have to read a midsummer night's dream, which is supposed to be a comedy. i was talking to nikki about it and she says it's far from comedy. i think i have to agree with her. mr. conway on the other hand has been teaching us about acids, but no one understands what the hell he's talking about. not even himself. however, he likes to pretend that everyone understands so he won't have to explain it. sometimes, when someone asks a question, he just walks away in the midlde. because that's the kind of person he is.

yesterday we had an improv competition and a lot of it was really funny. some groups are really hilarious. i was really nervous though. there's a website for improv and it's pretty cool with a forum and everything. the competition [sorta] was held at jarvis collegiate. on the ride home, i saw a prostitute. walking up the stairs, i saw a dead guy on the street with an ambulance near him. it's a cool and terrifying street. marta and i ran to get something to eat and some medicine for poor stella who was sick and we were quite scared of being raped. but who isn't?

i added a lot of blink-182 avatars because i am currently obsessed with them. they're in the art section.

-sweetvlady

oh my god, it's been a month. i keep trying to update but i end up feeling guilty because i truly have so much work to do all the time. but whatever, it's not like i'd be doing any right now anyway. i'm really excited because at 3PM, good charlotte will be "taking over" much music. what's happened at school? mr.conway decided to be a bad-ass and not wear goggles while conducting experiments. however, one day, he did wear them, and he looked stunning. pugly looks great as usual. i turned to ashley in math class and said "reza called, he wants his hair back." hahaha. it's funny because it's true.

yesterday, i went to buffalo with my mom and dad. in the middle of our outing, my dad goes to the washroom and disappears. my mom started freaking out and he was gone for 40 minutes. then, i begged someone for a "freedom" quater and called my dad. we later found out he bought himself some souvlaki and ate it, then walked around the mall looking at stores. that's my dad for you. i did get some nice stuff, aeropostale sweatpants, pink and brown elastics, a striped pink and white off-the-shoulder shirt, a striped pink and brown shirt, and a pink and brown purse :)

blink-182 tickets went on sale yesterday at 10PM. the tickets cost a dollar!!! i woke up early, got my mom's credit card, and made an account at ticketmaster so i could get the tickets quicker. once 10PM rolled around, i started both calling ticketmaster and trying to get tickets on the website. after five minutes, they were sold out and i had nothing. hesus christos!!! *sigh* i wanted to go so freakin' much. short entry because i really don't know what to say. except for the fact that i now can sing "All the Small Things" in Russian. whoo-hooo!!!

oh, and i saw good charlotte's new video for "hold on" and it looks great, really sad though. the whole setting of the video looks like "Stay Together For the Kids."

-sweetvlady

well, today did not feel like a friday at all. and although i am so happy it was a friday, i would have felt better if it had been on a day where it feels like a friday. then you wouldn't be disappointed. anyway, cochrane read "The Wolfen" and we had a great announcement. Langstaff is now implementing this new program called "Kick Butt" where anyone - student, parent, teacher - found smoking or holding a lit cigarette on school property will be fined $120. this is amazing. i mean, i can't imagine driving up to school monday with no one smoking there. and i know people won't fine mr. conway, but i'm sure he's shivering in his tighty-whiteys. we had our french quest and that was easy. then, in math, mr.neal was being normal. and female fugly was being abnormal as usual and being her loud, fugly self.

then, in science - scandal! mr. conway had apparently taken sunny's cigarettes. i truly felt for her. it brought tears to my eyes. i had to hold them back. everyone assumed mr. conway was going to smoke them himself, but he replied by saying that they were not "his brand." who does he think he is, mr. slick? i don't think so. and i think he killed his dog. i'm getting this story wrong, but it's something like, he came home and his dog was laying there in the basement covered in it's own urine and feces. he said he was glad that happened because he hated that dog. his sensitive side is so.. nonexistent. :)

then tonight, we all planned to go to promenade and get costumes for hallowe'en [SWAT team], but the dollar store had nothing, so maybe we can go to my prefered costume, pirates. but i don't really care. marty's going to have a co-ed sleepover party... scandalous! haha. ashley and marta went and couldn't find anything, so we decided to go to jack astors instead. it was a lot of fun. we pretended it was nikki's birthday and she got up and sang. a great song too, "i'm a little teacup," which we all know is a classic. we had a good dinner and laughed a lot while drawing fugly people on the table.

the original plan was to go to ashley and harry's house and watch a movie. but then we ended up playing monopoly. ashley's new room is so completely amazing. oh my god, if i had a room like that, i'd actually want to clean it. ashley seems to have bought off the entire IKEA store. the room is gorgeous.

so we played monopoly in teams and nikki and i were clueless as to what was going on. harry/yuseff and ashley/marts were very intimidating and complete pros. they knew exactly what to do and took this whole board game very seriously. in the midst of deciding on deals and etc, i had to leave.

great evening overall. [mouse over links] i added two new "me" sections called googlism, and pet peeves. i also added two new wallpapers - both of joel, in the "art" section. joel #1 and joel #2. short entry, but it's only been a day. i'm so tired.

-sweetvlady

oh god, so much has happened. as usual, i don't remember a thing. my groups grasslands project went très well, we got 100%. and i made up the climograph, so that was great. mr. conway looked like he was more interested in talking to cordell than watching our project, but as soon as he saw the sour gum we had, he came running up and grabbed one. then he sat there and chewed it while engaging in what i'm sure was a great conversation with cordell.

meanwhile, in english, mr. cochrane has begun to grow something on his face that surely has a life of it's own. i'm not sure what it is exactly, but i know that i'm scared to approach him. ilya thinks it may be moss. i've come to the conclusion that it may very well be moss. he's reading us a book called "The Wolfen," which i think you'll agree is a fantastic title. thumbs-up, indeed. in case you were wondering, it's about wolves, with an 'en.' he reads it all of class and we write notes. i enjoy that thouroughly, by the way.

the olympics were canceled. not enough people joined, though i feel it could have been better organized. the point is, they weren't on today and i did not miss the day of school. Also, the whole team was kind of falling apart and constantly changing.

oh, something i forgot to mention. i take guitar now, on wednesdays. my teacher is very nice and plays like a pro. *sigh* oh, and something else. last week, on this very day, i come back from school. i open the front door and all of my clothes are scattered on the stairs in the hallway, all the way up to my room. my dad took the stuff from my closet and my floor and laid them out wherever, but not in my room. my magazines, my wallet, everything. why the hell did he even go into my room, or my closet for that matter? did he want to borrow a shirt, did he forget his belongings there? i called him and this is how our lovely conversation went:

me: "hey dad. uumm.. i walked into the house today and my clothes are thrown everywhere. are you okay, like, are you mixing medications?"
dad: [screaming like mad] "i told you to clean up your room a thousand times *skateena*!!! i'm going to do this every day if you don't clean up." [clears throat and speaks at a normal volume] "well, bye!"
me: "oh, bye dad. have a lovely day. i love you so much."

i haven't said one word to him this entire week. he's too stubborn and he'll never apologize, but the thing is my dad is the biggest hypocrite. he throws his clothes on the floor every day. he never makes the bed. he never cleans up unless he gets mad at everyone for not cleaning up, so he has to so we don't yell at him. he has a whole scheme.

apart from that, good charlotte were on IMX a couple days ago and it was really funny. all these girls were screaming and some got the opportunity to ask questions. this one girl was particulary smart:

girl: "ok, i have a question. how do you, like, find out if a guy really likes you, and doesn't just want to 'tap that?'" [begins to laugh like a loon]
gc: [looking uncomfortable] benji: "uumm.. define 'tap that.'"
girl: "you know, like, he doesn't just want to" [puts on fake British accent] "get in your panties" [giggles like a loon]
gc: [begins to laugh nervously and give each other weird looks]
host: "we've got some real angelic girls here"

today, in science, mr. conway smelled so much of cigarettes, it was disgusting. like, he doesn't even try and hide that fact that he smokes like a maniac. mr. cochrane would have a field day with him. he hates smokers. and drug dealers. one girl in my class [name will not be mentioned] disagrees with him. it's a little too dry for her. but anyway, i got my science essay back and i have 24 out of 30. apparently, i should also have been researching organisms that were not assigned to me. i'm sorry mr. conway, i was never informed.

my new math teacher, mr. neal, is questionable. sometimes, he's really nice and explains things. but other times, he's impatient and doesn't explain anything. hmmmm.. meh. i'm over it.

i added a new section called photos, and rightfully so, because - you guessed it! there are photos there. also i intend to add some more poems and some wallpapers of joel that i made, but i don't think there's time. too bad, so sad. sucky entry, but meh. oh, oh, before i forget, on your left are some websites. clicking on them once can help. please do. it's no scam. their sponsors that advertise on the website give money every time it's clicked. and the clicks are tracked through cookies. but not edible ones :(

-sweetvlady

new layout!!! this one's much more different than the first one, but i really like it. pink and black together look excellent, in my opinion. if any link or anything isn't working, or you'd like to comment on the layout, please leave a message in the tag-board to your left. thanks. hahaha.. you're probably wondering about the name, but all will be explained. be patient ;).

firstly, since so many things have happened, let me outline the most important. i participated in the Terry Fox Run on september the 13th, and it was good, mainly because they had free food at the end. mmmm.. i'm a fan of food. there should be a pin. i joined the school newspaper and am now editor of the backpage section. i don't know how that happened. but sure, why not? Leon went to l'hospital on the 18th of september because he had to get some tests done. awww, poor bebushka. now, i don't want to mention these things here, because people have ways of finding websites, so i'll use code names. my friends know what this means, but if you'd like to know, please talk to me on msn and i will inform you. so pugly and female fugly are morons as usual. pugly tripped me in the hall. in case, your wondering, ash :), pugly is personality ugly because he's not appearance ugly. you know who this is, we want to kill it. ;)

hhmmm.. what else? one tree hill started and it is a great show. so, if you have the WB, don't miss it. ;) i'm like a walking advertisement. but it really is good, if not a little on the cheesy side. but chad. need i say more? my math class got split up, so now i'm with mr. neal. i'm sorry, but he seems to disciminate against everyone that isn't asian. i've really noticed it. but, meh. there's not much i can do. today was the good charlotte concert, but i didn't go because ash and harry couldn't come and marts and i couldn't go alone. but that's ok. next time they'll come and they'll have a new album and they may come to toronto... so yay. i'm getting excited.

today was an awesome day. even if fugly #1 smiled at me right now, i'd still be happy. yes, that's how great today was. marina, nikki, marta and i went to kelseys to eat. the original plan was to see dickie roberts, but then we were kinda late and the movie was super expensive. cheese and rice, do you realise how much good entertainment usually costs? so we jsut ate dinner, kate met up with us. and then we went to my house, minus kate :(. we had a blast though, we laughed sooooo hard. oh my god, i don't think i've ever gotten such an ab workout. no, that's not true, anytime we all get together, it's chaos. so we visited elijahs website. i don't think i should disclose the url. but on the website are pictures from his egypt trip. what makes the site super-excellent, apart from the stunning pictures, is the wonderful song in the background. i think i'll disclose the lyrics for everyone's enjoyment:

[techno music]
"egypt is the place to be [EGYPT, EGYPT]
egypt is the place to be [EGYPT, EGYPT]
egypt is the place to be [EGYPT, EGYPT]
egypt is the place to be [EGYPT, EGYPT]
the pyramids are oh-so-shiny [EGYPT, EGYPT]
the women here are oh-so-cute [EGYPT, EGYPT]
the freaks are on the floor now [EGYPT, EGYPT]
[uncoherent gibberish] [EGYPT, EGYPT]
[happy birthday song on keyboard]

marina, marta, and i made up an entire dance to it. very egyptian ;) and we plan to humiliate elijah as much as possible. which will be tons, don't worry. :D hahaha. we laughed for so long. he happens to be a great photographer. he takes very..hhhmmm.. how would i say this? postcard-style pics. especially the ones with his face in front of every pyramid and statue. i wish i could print that one out and write something like "the pyramids here are oh-so-shiny. EGYPT EGYPT. wish you were here, mom" that would be great. but, i can't. he wrote his name at the corner to make sure no one steals these postcard-worthy pics. it's really a shame.

apart from elijah, mr. conway has begun to have "episodes" in class where he half-swears and then tells certian people to pump his gas. almost as hilarious as my english teacher enunciating. i swear, these little "quirks" can be so freakin' hilarious. i have to sit in class pinching my arm as to distact myself from "i want you to complete your work" and marina's drawings of fugly #2's profile. ooooh my god, hilarious. she claims he's a "sexy beast of a guy." i think i may have to agree. :D. female fugly continues to tell me useless little "anecdotes" that i really wish she's just keep secret. i don't give a damn about "scotty." hahaha. oh, it's too funny.

oh, and i added an archives section for old entries, i guess i'll put a couple in each time i post, to make sure this page doesn't go lower and lower. also, i added a "two weeks notice" where i post stuff that's happening. hahah... i just remembered elijah's hotty friends including moobi or something. he's mine.. i think. we may have to have a fist fight over it. i hope we can include some of brent wood's spitting fist thing :D

-sweetvlady

yesterday, i went to the library and picked up a copy of "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" and i've been reading it all day. and it makes me mad and sad and angry, sort of all at the same time. the book is amazing, my favourite, but on a saturday when everyone is quiet it makes you sad. and after reading how charlie feels and talks, it kind of makes me want to write that exact way. i mean the format. but i'm sure after a couple of weeks, that'll go away, it always does. i don't know if i'm in a bad mood today, or whether the book is making me sad, but i feel all blah. a lot of stuff has happened, but i feel like talking about now. right now. and right now, i feel weird. i almost never like rain. and right now is one of those times. when the whole house is quiet and you don't really have a purpose. you don't know where anyone is. and all you can do is listen to the lyrics of the song that sounds more like a message.

"my hopes are so high/that your kiss might kill me/so won't you kill me/so i die happy/my heart is yours/to fill or burst/to break or bury/or wear as jewelry/whichever you prefer"

and i feel really alone. not in that, "oh, no one listens to me" way. the kind of alone where you look outside your window, and there's no one. and the wooden fence is wet. and it kind of makes me sad. i just wrote a poem. it has to do with what i just said. and it's confusing and i aplologize in advance, but i'm sorry, i can't explain it.

Infinite

I’m alone.  But not in that way,
	where no one listens
The kind of alone where
	the wooden fence is wet
	and you feel sad.
And there’s no one there.
And it’s quiet.  You can hear the quiet.
And Charlie said he feels infinite
	and sometimes, everyone does.
	I do right now.
And the book is torn and bent.
I feel sad for the person who ruined it.
	Maybe they  swore
	when they saw it bent at the bottom
	of their backpack.
But maybe, they just shrugged.
The library forgives sometimes.

i just want to say quickly that i love the people that care about me so much. maybe i don't tell them enough, but i appreciate them. i really do. and sometimes, when you're sad, you say these things, because when you're happy, they're too sad to say. i'm sorry if i ever did anything to hurt anyone. please forgive me.

yesterday was rosh hashana and i went over to nikki's to celebrate. i had a really great time. dinner was delicious and we laughed a lot. and then i got sleepy. and it felt kind of nice to go to sleep early on a friday. but also a little sad because sometimes i wish it was still summer and i was staying up until six in the morning. but that's just because that's the kind of mood i'm in.

i really want to talk about all the stuff that's happened, but i feel like i should wait until tomorrow or something and include it in another entry where i'm in a happier mood. i just read over this entry and it kind of sounds like a suicide note or something. but i swear it's not.

jesus christ. it's been a while. to say that i extremely busy would almost be a lie, because i could easily have been updating this page instead of staring into space a couple days ago. so i guess i apologize to anyone who actually wanted an update. get a life, you freaks! no, i kid ;)considering it's been a long time, and that i've lost many a brain cell since then, for the events that happened a long time ago, i won't go into much detail. simply because, i couldn't if i tried. ok, robot speed.

[august 26th] slept over at marta's house with nikkiester. had tons of fun, OBVIOUSLY! haha.

[august 27th] we woke up, had breakfast, met ashley and headed over to "the hellhole" aka LSS. we met up with marina and polina when they were leaving and went inside and registered. marina's schedule got a bit screwed, so we don't have lunch or 3rd period with her. which sucks, but what are you going to do? harrison gave us a free bag of popcorn :D and yussef was being a weirdo as usual. i kid. but seriously, he was. i also wasted $10 on a crappy varsity gold card. basically, it was as if i threw $10 in a landfill.

then we walked back to marta's house and nikki, marta, and ashley dyed my tips red with the temporary dye i bought. it looked very pretty and we were all going to the eaton's center but nikki couldn't come :( so ashley, marta and i all went and had a blast. we ate some food from indigo and walked around and did crap. i'm telling you, no brain cells left.

[august 28th] i went to the promenade with my mom and brother and bought nice black corduroys there. i wanted beige. but meh. you can't have everything. then, at 8:00PM, the MTV Video Music Awards were on. i love any MTV award show. and this one was great. chris rock was hilarious. madonna and britney kissed and although i really did not want to see the lip-action, justin's face was...hhmm.. what's the word? HAHAHA. i think that's the word. good charlotte performed the anthem :D and i was jumping up and down. benji decided to kiss people too and kissed paul on the cheek while they were performing. haha. he's too funny. they were nominated for three awards, but they won the best one: Viewer's Choice. and when good charlotte went up to accept the award, joel said he shit his pants :P i like him.

speaking of joel, look at this amazing pic of him:

wow. that's all i can say.

[august 29th] i went shopping for my part-ay. bought a lot of crap. cleaned the house while being yelled at. typical kind of day.

[august 30th] i had my part-ay!!! not a big one, just my closest buddies. guest list included: nikki, marta, ashley, kate, harrison, and yussef. we ate the appetizers i made :) and then we went to play soccer in the new park. we met bogdan(?) and roman, who was "licked". that made the prospect of driving with him in his beemer all the more promising. thanks for the offer roman, but i'll have to say no. i met bogdan in grade 6. and he recognized me, which was ultra-weird. yes--ultra. they thought i was having a house party and wanted to come. they also offered us alcohol. i was very tempted. but i had to say no, it was in my heart. then we went to the park, rode on the spinny-thing and went back home. we ate BBQed crap and listened to tunes, played ouija, and broken telephone. haha. that was fun. then nikki, harry, and yussef left and ashley, kate, and marta slept over. we had a good time reading cosmopolitan--you know, to read up on some sex tips. we ate popcorn and went to sleep.

[august 31st] ashley-poo had to leave quite early at the wee hour of nine, so after she left i went back to sleep and then we all woke up at around noon. we ate cake for breakfast :) and then we went to kate's house to try on her uniform. wow, my kate has become a catholic school girl. with a kilt. i'm in love with oxford shirts. and kate wears one day after day. we watched kate swim with dolphins in her Cuba video. those dolphins are freakin smart. they hoola-hooped and did wonderful things. but poor little dolphins. maybe they want to swim out and squeak like other dolphins. then marty-party helped me clean up and then went home.

[september 1st] i went biking with marina. i think that was the day when we were going to bike for an hour but sat on benches instead. hhhmmmmm.... the whole day was complete crap. i wanted to cry because i really did not want to go and see brad's ugly ass face and do homework and uggghhh...

[september 2nd] first day of school. back to the hellhole. my schedule is as follows:

[semester 1]
french - d'aversa
english - cochrane
math - hueglin
science - conway

[semester 2]
food & nutrition - strong
civics & careers - ???
history - epstein
drama - ???

mr. conway is the coolest teacher this side of the...umm.. galaxy? yes, galaxy. he talked about bunnies being blown off of cliffs. poor little bunny bebes. ;) actually, all the teachers are great. in english, i am fortunate enough to sit behind brad, who thinks i like payman. brad called me a bitch for some reason. i have no idea why, and it doesn't bother me than he said that. more that i didn't call him an asshole or something. meh.

enough with this format. on the 5thm, nikki, ashley, and i visited marta at her new job at second cup. she looked so professional and old. very old. almost a senior. then ashley, nikki, and i went to see bend it like beckham in woodbridge. the movie was good, not amazing. but the guy was hot. and that was good. it was funny and the guy was hot. :D

then on the 8th, i ran cross-country. but then i quit halfway into the first meeting. i guess i was being stupid. i felt really stupid. but it's ok, i explained to mr deserio that i wasn't in the same physical shape as everyone else there. he was very nice about it. i did, however, sign up for run-for-it and our first run is tomorrow at mill pond for the terry fox run. i'm excited but nervous at the same time.

then, the next day was the yearbook meeting. i went, but i decided not to join. they want a lot of time from everyone.. and i'm sorry, but i'm not one to commit. we also went to the WALC meeting where we're setting up the langstaff olympics, which are going to be tres excellent. then i went to marina's house and we laughed a lot. over many things. one of them being shtop te zgarela [i hope you burn to death, burn in hell] haha. tres drole.

on the 11th, it was improv club, which was soooo much freakin fun. we pretended to be a ninth-graders worst nightmare. haha that was fun. marina and i had to leave early, but all will be fine. then, at night, we had langstaff's Glow Flow. basically, it was ugly ass people having dry sex with other ugly ass people of a different sex. although, sometimes not. it was douple, no, triple, no, huit cent merde. i mean, eeeeeewwwwwww. people were having multiple orgys. they played rap song after hip hop song, after reggae song. don't get me wrong, some of the songs were good.. but c'mon, play variety.

then yesterday, ashley came over and we went to loblaws to buy jam, hair dye, chocolate, and chocolate milk. we made all of our purchases, except they didn't have any samples. which did not amuse me in the least. we saw kate and i really miss her. and then we wanted to walk to visit marta, but it was dark. instead we ate here and took many, MANY pictures with my webcam. i'll try and get those up as soon as possible. also i made a new trory wallpaper:

oh, and something i forgot to mention, my dad hired me to help him with his ebay acount. the chedda will be rollin' in any time now. and yes, i will spend the cheese.

-sweetvlady

hey hey. sorry for no updates lately. i'm very mad with myself because every time i started writing an entry i was rudely interrupted by my dad or my brother. so ugh. meh, i'm over it. on tuesday i went bike riding with jenny. we rode to the library. long ride. but i liked it, i got good exercise :). once we got to the library, though, it was closed. that was great. apparently, they're trying to save energy by closing the library. ggggrrr.. i wasn't too pleased. anyway, that night i went to marty's house with ashley. we slept over and had tons of fun. we didn't get much sleep, but that wasn't the biggest surprise in history. we took pictures.

we woke up the next day pretty early and then dressed, ate breakfast, and went to center island. there we went swimming and ashley and marts claimed the water was cold, but i thought it was fine. swimming was so much fun. i looked like a complete nerd with my goggles and noseclip. but i don't care because i had a blast. the water was really clear and deep. not that i like deep water, just that you didn't have to walk 70 miles like in wasaga to get there. after swimming we went to eat. mmmmmmm.. we ate at paradise restaurant or something. i may be getting it wrong. but they gave us too much fries but it was yummy.

then, we rented a QUADRICYCLE!!!! it was sooo amazing. it was for three people. two people peddle and one sits in the middle. so we switched turns every five minutes. ashley drives like a maniac. hee hee, i kid ashley. no, she drove like a maniac at first and then she became super-pro. haha. she's cute :) so we drove around singing songs. then, we returned the quad :P and went to swim because we were really hot. the water was so cold against my skin. it felt really nice :) then, we lay on our towels and talked. we had a blast. afterward, we went to buy a funnel cake. mmmmmmmm.. it was so good. then we bought candy and sat and traded and ate some of our leftover meal. then, after being bitten by several mosquitos, we joined the line to the ferry. but not before this woman decided to take several pictures of her family, blocking the lineup. jesus woman.

when we were walking to the subway we decided to sing the doe a deer scale. marta added a little twist. here it is:

doe, a deer, a female deer. THE DEER IS FEMALE!
ray, a drop of golden sun. THE SUN IS GOLDEN!
me, a name, i call myself. MY NAME IS ME!
far, a long, long way to run. I'M RUNNING FAR!

hahaha.. i couldn't stop laughing. people probably thought i was high. but who gives a crap? my stomache hurt so much i thought i was going to die.

then i came home and found out my family had bought 1313 Dead End Drive, the board game, while i was gone. i still haven't figured out how it works.. but meh.

on the 2st, marina invited me over for a surprise. it was really exciting. i rode over on my bike and then opened the door and she gave me a present [a hello kitty alarm clock, for those mornings where i wake up a teensy bit late, sparkly purple lip gloss :), $20, and a winnie the pooh card :D] i was very surprised and excited and happy. all at once. awwww.. marinachka. you're too cute. she also baked me a cake. a delicious cake. it had blueberried on it, which are my favourite berry, which made it that much more exciting!!! then, she planned a whole day. first we went swimming to Goulding. memories once again. we had a blast because i love to swim. and marina claimed there was a good earring there. [code for hot guy :P] i'm blind, so that didn't go too well. but meh. then, we went back home so i could change and get some money and we went to watch uptown girls. the movie was amazing. it was nothing like the commercials though. the commercials were all comedy, but the movie was more drama. i cried throughout the whole movie, which shouldn't be surprising to many of you as i am a crybaby. but meh.

i came out of the movie very teary-eyed. we were walking out and the sky was a shade of blue-grey and there was a big stripe of orange on the horizon. and it was kind of breezy. the moment felt so perfect and i started to cry. it was so perfect, i was scared something would ruin it. and i just wanted to go into my room and sit and cry. but we went to indigo and read magazines and talked. it was fun.

then the next day, the 22nd, marina came over and we biked a bit. then came to her house and hung around and played 20 questions. marina won, but she was a sore winner :P

on the 24th, it was chad's birthday. he turned 22. he's a looker. anyway, my family decided to finally go to buffalo to get back to school clothes. i got two sweaters from aeropostale :D, an oxford shirt from old navy, and sandals from guess. it was a good trip :). the mall closed early, so we didn't get to go to all the stores. i really wanted to go to Pac-Sun. i wish we had that here. my mom was upset and she got a headache, as did i at the end of the trip. however, i have to say i'm very satisfied with my stuff :). i was thinking maybe chad would come home to buffalo on his birthday and i would see him, but i was wrong. meh.

then, on the 25th, i lay around in my bed watching MUCH and then i came downstairs because it was finally my turn on the computer and as i'm walking towards the stairs i see a girl who looks very similar to martushka on her bike. then she looked up at my window, so i ducked. and then i was thinking, 'heeeey.. that girl is martushka, she's headed down my street!" so marts came to surprise me. we got on our bikes to go to loblaws to develop some pics. but not before marta could see the tornado that is my bedroom. :P haha. after loblaws, we came back, played guitar, went on the computer, went to play soccer at the park, and talked about crap. we had fun, and the pictures from center island look great. these are the times i wish i had a scanner. :(

then, today.. the 26th. i went to the dentist. everything's going fine, but she says there's something that looks like it could become a cavity in the future. please, doctor, every tooth i have looks like it could become a cavity, but thanks for the heads-up! i did get a sparkly pink lip gloss out of the treasure basket, however. and i have to say, it's quite lovely.

-sweetvlady

wow. a lot of things have happened. funny thing is, i don't remember anything. marta can laugh. right... NOW! haha. yes yes, very funny. ooohhh, it's coming back to me.

on friday i went to wasaga to visit yana and her family there. yana had the chicken pox. poor, poor babushka. no, seriously though, poor yanachka. we went swimming and she was there with elana and we had fun talking about crap. fortunately, bobac was not there this time. so i didn't have to endure his crap. people are stupid.

then on saturday, my grandma and her friend who flew in from new york came over to celebrate my birthday because she was leaving the next day. so i got two $50 dollar bills from my grandma. and a cup and saucer from her friend. i am very grateful for that cup and saucer. :P

then... the next day was MY birthday!!! i woke up to the ring of the telephone and it was one of my grandma's friends calling me to wish me a happy birthday. i looked at the time and it was 7:30AM. it took me a long time to get back to sleep. then, finally, i wake up and i realise i've been abandoned by my family on the day of my birth. seriously, i couldn't find them anywhere. everyone was gone. so i just went on the computer and then after a couple hours, i called them. they said they'd be home soon. they came home with a guitar for me!!! :D oh my god, i wanted to scream. and i also get lessons!!! i love my parents. this is one of those situations when you say "i wish i could marry them" but that's just wrong on so many levels. haha. they also got me a spongebob card with sparkles. on the back, you can cut out spongebob and use the pic as a pencil topper. hellooooo pencil topper! my brother bought me scrabble, which i wanted for so long!

then, after we ate dinner, ashley and nikki came. ashley with an entire batch of heavenly cookies and nikki with gorgeous tommy earrings!!! it was so much fun. we watched a walk to remember and laughed a lot :P then we went to springbrook, but not before i got us lost ;). we went to the waterfall and walked along it. and then we went to the new park and swung around a bit. then we went back home. we watched rat race and ate dinner and then everyone left.

then today i played scrabble with leon. and aamna [next door neighbour] came and asked me to babysit her baby jamal for 10 minutes while she picked up bilal from camp. awwwwwwww... i could stay with that baby for the rest of my life. it's the cutest thing in the world. yesterday, bilal and jamal came over and gave me lip gloss and nail polish and a really cool card. i love them. bilal is like a little brother.

then, jenny came over as a surprise and we had tons of fun. we played scrabble and made a whole big fitness schedule. i'm excited. it sounds fun. tomorrow we made a plan to bike ride to the library and get yoga/ab-workout tapes. excitement all around. better yet, marta's baaaaaaack!!! like a sheep!!! i love you marty. so much. so ashley, marta, and i are heading out to center island on wednesday. oh god, so much excitement. in the words of ashley: excitement overload!!! then marty said something about good charlotte stopping in hamilton [which i knew about thanks to joy :)] and this seems weird, but it might happen. ashley + marta + hilary + kayla + ev + me + good charlotte = fun fun fun fun. yes yes, 4 funs. short entry. wow.

oooohhh.. before i forget. i made a new avatar. yes, it's a trory. but i'm kind of on a high. so here it is:

updated to add that i have added a poetry section. it doesn't include all of my poems, just the ones that aren't as terrible as others.

-sweetvlady

hey hey. ok, on monday ashleypoo and marinachka came to sleepover. we had quite a blast. especially since ashley made [first i wrote baked, but now i don't even know if you bake cookies, aahhh] the most amazing cookies in the world. they were chocolate with chocolate chips. mmmm they were so good. ashley is so talented.. it is beyond words. or numbers.

i introduced ashley to the wonderful world of gilmore girls, and most importantly, tristan. we watched a couple episodes. we also had a whole big ouija board drama thing. we never actually ended up playing though. we did, however, play with fire. i love fire. but onto bigger things, ashley now loves chad. and i like to hold myself responsible, so my job is done. ashley, i know your reading this, i love you. :) haha. we stayed up till around six. by that time, we were falling asleep while the other was talking. marinachka, however, fell asleep way before ash and i. she was a sleepyhead. mainly because she goes to sleep at nine. no, i kid. 9:30. haha.. i still kid. i love you marina :) haha.

the next day, my mom took us to eat at kelseys. i had a hair in my salad. eeeeewwwwww it was sooo disgusting. but the meal was good. and afterward we got to pick a toy from the treasure box. and that's always fun. then, we went back home and marina, ashley, and i sang songs, especially senorita by justin timberlake. my favourite part:

"Now listen
I wanna try some right now
See they don't do this anymore
I'ma sing something
And I want the guys to sing with me
They go
"It feels like something's heatin' up, can I leave with you?"
And then the ladies go
"I don't know but I'm thinkin' 'bout, really leavin' with you"

Guys sing
It feels like something's heatin' up, can I leave wit you?
And ladies
I don't know but I'm thinkin' 'bout, really leavin' wit you.
Feels good don't it, come on"

yes, justin, it feels quite pleasurable. this is my second favourite part:

"Gentlemen, good night
Ladies, [laughs like an ax-murderer], good morning"

hahaha. i love my finders-keepers bit. anyway, then, nikki called and said that we could come over and watch chad night on the WB at her house. chad night consisted of two gilmore girls episodes. the one where tristan and rory kiss, and the one where tristan leaves for military school. :( we had a lot of fun. i found out that nikki is a commercial surfer. hahaha.. so we got to watch 8 simple rules as well. "the only movie left is... go go go" LMAO,.. haha.

i had a bad headache that day, and yesterday too. and a bit today. :( yesterday i went on a long walk. i saw jennifer and katie :) and i wore my spongebob shirt :D. coolest shirt in the world. yesterday, pepsi smash was on. hosted by chad. looking good. hee hee :)

i made some chad avatars because i was in the mood. here they are:

and i do have the WB. i finally found it. ahhh.. that was great. and today on trl, girls and boys retired after being on the countdown for 50 days. yay for gc. speaking of gc, there's a tribute that joel and benji do for kylie minogue. it's pee-pee funny. so listen here. thanks to joy for the link. :)

-sweetvlady

ok, where to start? ok, well, first i'd like to apologize for not writing before i left to wasaga [i was really busy] and now all the memories from before are kind of lost in my weird head. i'll try and remember what i can. apart from that, i also didn't have time to write an entry that talked about my leaving. i left for wasaga beach [woohooo] for a week, and came back yesterday night. so, i guess i'll start from july 30th. oh god, that was so long ago.

on the 30th i went to my optometrist. i'm happy because i've been waiting to go so long, i know my eyes have gotten worse. so i went and my new perscription is one eye -4.00 and the other -4.25. yes, i know, that's a lot, but what are you going to do? meh. my mom secretly told the optometrist to give me drops in my eyes [because she knows i'm scared as hell] and the optometrist tried to make up a reason why i needed it. later, in the car, my mom told me of her scheme. grrrrrr... but i get new glasses soon. after the optometrist, my mom, brother, and i went to kelsey's and ate dinner. they mixed up my order and i got free french fries :) yay for me. that night, i went to yorkville with ashley, marta, harry, and yussef. it was very fun and we ate ice cream and walked around and sang good charlotte songs. but i've come to notice we pretty much sing good charlotte songs everywhere. :) it's all good. there was a scary man though, who approached harry, yussef, and i probably about to sell us drugs. we walked away.

then, on the 31st, it was marina's birthday! yay for marina!!! she turned the big 1-5. haha. i love her. in the morning, i had to go to the doctor [for no reason other than my mom being weird, i might add] and she tested my growth. she says i'm doing fine and that i've actually moved up to the bottom of the growth curve for my age. so big yay. but my doctor was surprised that i didn't get my 15 year old booster shot. so i had to have it done. :( meh. it wasn't so terrible. however, my brother's doing badly and she said she needed to run some tests on him. my mom decided it would be a perfect opportunity to further ruin my life and suggested that i also get the tests done. the doctor insisted it wasn't necessary, but my mom said she thought it would be a good idea. so, i had to get an x-ray, a urine sample [which i like to think i did pretty well on ;)], and a blood test. during the blood test, the nurse popped my vein and now i have a big bruise, but it's alright, it was sore for a while though.

then when i got home, i went to marina's house and we hung out with polina. we played monopoly and went to the park and had tons of fun. then at night, marina and i went biking a bit. on the first of august, marina came over and i helped her make a menu for her party [that i unfortunately couldn't be part of :(] then, marty, ashley, harry, and i went to chuck E cheese!!!!!! it was sooooo much fun. we went kind of crazy and started spending all our tokens on this one incredibly addictive game. SO much fun. then we were kinda bummed because we had no tokens left. we saw this one guy who seemed to be working there but had no uniform on. i called him over and marta said that she knew he had some backstage connections [he smiled] and we asked whether he could validate some report cards we had for some tokens. he said he could just get us tokens. and at that moment, i met the guy of my dreams. haha, i swear, i would marry him right then and there. he came back to us with about 150 tokens. the cup was so heavy it was actually pulling my arm down. ashley or marta said something about the fact that they also wanted to marry him.. but BACK OFF i got first dibs!!! :) hee hee, i kid. then we sat in the cage and sang gc songs and were very happy. ahhhh.. it really is the place to be a kid. i love being a kid.

the next day, the 2nd, i had to wake up early to go to wasaga. during the drive there, the coolest and funniest thing happened. we're on the road, and my dad decides it would be the perfect time to act like an idiot. so he rolls down the windows and starts yelling gibberish into other cars. haha.. we're all laughing and this one car full of teenage/college guys starts yelling gibberish back!!! hahaha.. good looking guys. :) so then i roll down my window and one of them yells out "where are you from?" and i yelled back "richmond hill" and they asked "where are you headed?" and i said "wasaga, you?" and he said "warped" and then we kept waving at each other whenever our cars were near. it was soo cool. and i explained to my dad what warped was and he said he'd take me the next day, which made me really excited because i heard simple plan was there. we stopped at an outlet mall on the way there and i bought a nice shirt from campus crew.

there's a lot to say about my trip, and a lot of swimming, so i'm not going to mention that. i'll just mention the important, weird, and cool stuff. on the 3rd, my friend yana came over with her family and we really didn't do anything because the weather was terrible. it rained and rained. we found out that the motel we were staying at was also a camp to about 25 kids, ages 10-15. they guy who owns the motel is a multi-millionaire and a smart one at that. he owns both the motel and the camp. the camp travels by coach bus, which he owns, and goes go-carting, watches movies, has dances, plays pool, goes swimming, mini-golf, paintball. they do it all. i met a bunch of people, some that i wish i hadn't. i played pool with some of them. anyway, i'm watching some guys play pool, and one of them, this big irish guy who's going into grade 8 named ryan asks:

ryan: "do you swear?"
me: "uuhhh.. yeah."
ryan: "say fuck."
me: "fuck"
other guy: "god's going to punish you."
me: "what? i don't believe in god."
ryan: "oh, so you're catholic"

idiots. later, i found out ryan smokes week [surprise!] and so do some other guys there. there was only one other camper as old as i am, and everyone else was a couple years younger. i ended up NOT going to warped. ggrrrrrrr times seven hundred. it made me really upset for a while. it was all because my dad drank too much and couldn't drive me. frick. anyway... one of the younger campers told me that one of the campers [12 years old] thought i was "cute". he had asked him to ask me whether i thought he was cute. jesus christ.

the guy who owns the motel and camp also owns 100 acres and made sort of a dance place for the kids. i went with them and met some of the kids more. the music was crappy and it wasn't all that great. i got about 4857348 mosquito bites, which made it really worth my while. the next day my family went go-karting, which was amazing!!! aaaaahhhh, it was so much fun. i drove really fast and it was so exciting. i want to be 16 so bad. in due time. :) that morning, the toronto sun had a full page article [that is now taped to my wall] about chad. it was so super duper exciting. i screamed and jumped and almost cried. anyway, after the go-karting, we went to a flea market, which was so much fun. god, i wish there was a flea market next-door to me. i bought the coolest lamp in the world for merely five buckaroos. it's made out of that toilet cleaner that's all bristly. i also got a cool hemp bracelet for $3 and a spongebob t-shirt for $5 because it wasn't in the greatest condition, but i don't give a crap. i was super excited. i also saw good charlotte's c.d. for $10 in perfecto condition, but my mom wouldn't buy it. :( i was kind of upset for a while because i wanted it so bad. but i guess i only wanted it for the thank yous and all. i mean, i don't buy cd's because they're a waste of money. and i don't even have money.

then, on the 7th, i was invited to join the camp and go see freaky friday. i wasn't going to go, but my mom encouraged me, so i went. the movie was SWEET. almost all the campers hated it, but i thought it was a sweet, cute movie that actually offered a lot of laughs. i cried twice, but i cried during Ernest's Hallowe'en, so that's really not saying much. and i'm not hiving freaky friday all that praise because chad is in it. his long hair actually grew on me a bit. but c'mon, he looks much better with it cut. [nikki: cut, cut :D] when we were on the bus going to see the movie, ryan came up to me and told me that gaby [this guy who was going into grade 7, but looks like he's going into grade 10] called me a whore, but he likes me. what the hell is wrong with people?!!? seriously, people are fucked up. [sorry for the language] where do you get off calling me a whore??? ugh. i know it shouldn't matter to me much. and it's not the fact that gaby said it. it's the fact that anyone would think it. even though it's pretty obvious that gaby needs serious english tutoring. i'm not omish, but i'm pretty far from being a whore. grrrrrrr. then, on the ride back, ryan and his druggie friend called me a drug-hater, as if i'm supposed to be offended by this label. jesus christ. i think i'm in a really pissy mood.

the next day, my mom felt really sick and we went to wakestock, but missed it. :( nothing turns out right. then, on the 9th, yana came for her stay at wasaga with some people. we had fun all together, but yana got sick. i hope you feel better hunnie. there was a guy there going into grade 8 that decided to be a jerk as well. his name is bobak. i'm sitting on the couch reading cosmogirl and he comes up to me:

bobak: "why don't you wear contacts?"
me: "why should i?"
bobak: "because then you can attract more boys."
me: "well, thank you for your suggestion, do you have any more of them. i'm desperate."
bobak: "well, you should wear a dress, and high heels, and you shouldn't put your hair in a ponytail."

seriously, what the hell is up with people lately. when i had to leave, he tapped me on the hand and said i like you really quickly. i was like "what?" and he said "nothing" and walked away. jesus christ. stay the hell away from you all you pycho freaks. someone seriously has to find them a home.

today i did nothing. i didn't even change out of my pjs. too bad for them. but tomorrow ashley is coming over. and it's going to be a party. i love you ashley :)

-sweetvlady

ooooooohhh.. so much to write about. ok, if you actually give a damn about whether or not i write here often, then i apologize, i was going to write earlier, but i guess i got distacted. a lot of things have happened within the last few days, but i hardly remember anything, so not much detail to talk about.

on friday, i went swimming with marina and my brother. it was really fun and we stayed for about 4 hours i think. marina and i also managed to sort of teach my brother how to float. well, marina mostly, but i was there to see it! i doubt he'll actually be floating on his own now, but hey, what are you going to do? marina bought us hot dogs [crap, i forgot to pay her back] and a crispy crunch bar. mmmmmm.. shat. and we had tons of fun. we went to Goulding Park, which is right where i used to live. i was kind of scared i would see someone i knew. but, thankfully, that did not happen. these two boys were splashing exactly next to us the entire time. oh my god, marina and i wanted nothing but to smack them. one of them asked me whether i was armanian. he said i had that kind of accent. what the hell???

then, i forget what happened saturday, but on sunday, ashley and i wanted to go somewhere and i suggested we go to springbrook park because it has the coolest waterfall. i would marry it if man-made natural features and humans were allowed to mate. aaaahhh.. *sigh* haha. anyway, we decided to meet up with kate at her house and then walked to springbrook with ashley's purse loaded with crackers, cotton candy, scooby snacks, and the regular good stuff you'd expect to find in ashley's purse. :) i wish i had ten just like it, but only one. haha. so we went to springbrook, and went to the waterfall. when we got there, we decided to cross it by stepping on rocks. it was so cool!!! it was such a cool adventure, lead by our very own kate. :) then, we decided to be real daredevils and walk across the current at the very top. it was so much fun, but kate wasn't too enthusiastic about doing it over again, so we went to the playground. we talked a bit, and ate cotton candy, and went on the swings. then, kate said we could go to her house, so we started walking back.

the entrance to springbrook is a bridge. and we fed some of the ducks. but then, this stupid, stupid, stupid weird girl started chasing a goose. she chased it off the bridge and she was laughing and the goose was scared and it was flapping it's wings, but it couldn't fly. we were in front of them, so we turn around, and there's a goose running toward us. it was one of the scariest things that have happened in my entire life. oh my god, what a moronic girl. seriously, what an idiot. the goose starts running onto the street, and ash, kate, and i are running onto the street trying to get away from it, and i'm running like a mad woman. i turn around, and the goose is right behind ashely, who is running like crazy. ashley's scared of birds, so imagine. then, ashley, kate, and i ran onto someones driveway, and i was walking backward, and bumped into the car, which scared me like crazy. oooohh.. then a car pulled up and the goose was on the street running. the car started beeping, and now, somewhere on the streets is a rampaging goose, flapping it's wings wildly. we just walked back to kate's in fear and ate cherry cheesecake ice cream and i drank a nice, cold pepsi. aahhh.. it was good kate, very good. ;)

then, it was getting late, and i had to leave so ash and i left to go to my house. we ate some dinner and watched some tv shows [ash doesn't like seinfeld... ash you're crazy like a fox]. then, ash's mom came to pick her up, and the day was over, thanks to nothing else to do. sorry, powerpuff moment. heee.

on monday, kate had to work and asked me to come over after her babysitting, so i did. she proceeded to show me every single photo of flowers imaginable. [jokes, kate, jokes :P] we went through two whole photo albums of kate being young. and then marina came over. they did my makeup to replicate a prostitute on the streets. i mean, it was nice, for night time, not for day time. but they refused to let me take it off. i had to go to bantry park with it on. :( but thank you for taking the time to do it :) we went to bantry park, and sat there while some guy on a bike rode by 348573485738 times. which annoyed kate very much. :P then, we dropped marina off at her house, and kate came over to sleep over. we watched the second episode of gilmore girls. the one where rory has her first day at chilton, and tristan is there. :) ahhhhh.. [helloooooo, mary!] hee heee. it was quite the episode, let me tell you. we stayed up until about 4:30 talking about crap. and then when i woke up kate was dressed to leave. she didn't even eat breakfast. :( i'm sorry katushka. i'll make it up to you.

then, yesterday, i had the worst headache in the history of all headaches. it started when i woke up to say bye bye to kate, but i thought that i'd go back to sleep and it would go away. but oooooohhhhh no! when i woke up it was worse. i felt like dying. i threw up twice. the second time, not so pretty. sorry for disgusting anyone. anyway, late at night, it left. and i watched conan. which is hilarious. i swear, if that headache comes back, i will shoot it in the head.

today, i have an optometrist appointment at four. i like my optometrist. he's nice :) that means that soon i'll be getting new glasses. which is a big woohoo!!! and also, you have noticed, [but maybe not], there is a new section called me, where i answer stupid questions about myself. enjoy :) haahaa.. if you're bored to the extent of wanting to shoot yourself, then the ME section is for you! four easy installments of $49.99, and it can be yours!

on wednesday, when i woke up [3PM.. haha], i walked up to my window. and i saw the sun. and it looked hot. and i put on my shorts. and i went outside and rode my bike. just like i said. so, as a follow-up to my earlier entry, i AM going to get off my ass, and i AM going to take advantage of the summer i have left. i asked my brother to follow me while i rode my bike, just in case anything happened. [if you came across my page my accident, and decided to read an entry, just for the fun of it, a few months ago i fell off my bike and knocked my tooth out]. so my brother followed me [awww.. i like him sometimes] and then we decided to go check out the new playground complex that's part of the new elementary school/catholic school/community center. it was pretty cool, the park is actually, like, 47 parks put together. and while we were there, the sun set and there was a big hill, and it looked absolutely gorgeous. ahhhh... *sigh* i wish i saw that every day. the park is nice and all, but it's completely crowded. all these little kids, i like quiet sometimes. and while the sun was setting, i really wanted quiet, and not a shill shriek coming from a four-year-old's mouth. so, it's ok, i guess.

the school/community center thingamabobber's lights were on, so my brother and i decided to check out the building from the windows. it looks so freaky. it scared me so much. but not really the "oooo, there's a murderer inside" kinda scared. more like the "i've seen the ring and now everything seems scary" kind. the walls are cream/white and then the staircase walls are neon orange. and it looks so deserted and creepy. but there are two things that scared me the most:

1. in the staircase, there was a garbage can attached to the wall. like in, i don't know, mental institutions. i don't know what i'm talking about, and i'm a big weirdo, but it scared the crap out of me. just the look of it.
2. when we peered into one of the unlit classrooms, there seemed to be stuff already inside the room. and there was a desk placed right near the window we were looking into. and on the desk was a really big silver cross with jesus on it. it scared the HELL out of me. it was freaky. my brother looked like he was a few seconds away from peeing his pants. haha. but it was scary.

my parents decided to buy my grandma new furniture and get her old furniture to place in the basement. so now we have a couch and a chair. and we got our satellite back, so it's all good. except for the fact that i still don't have the WB. grrr.. meh i'm over it.

then, yesterday, my mom really wanted to do something with leon and i, so we were trying to think up ideas. but we couldn't settle on anything.
1. putting edge: boring as hell.
2. laser quest: not only would i feel weird showing up there, but it's getting kind of boring as well.
3. mall: we weren't really in the mood.
4. you're fired: i love that place, but it takes me 5 hours [seriously] to paint one thing, and my brother can't sit still for that long.
5. going out to eat: too boring.
6. movies: they all suck. but uptown girls comes out today :)
so we couldn't decide on anything. which i think made my mom kind of upset.

then, marina called me and we went to her house, grabbed popsicles [mmm.. grape] and headed over to bantry park. which i'm not too crazy about either. [i still think springbrook's the best. it has a waterfall] but it has swings, and anything that has swings is fine by me :) so we sat there for a long while. and then we walked back to marina's and watched the rainmaker, which i wasn't too enthusiastic about at first, but it turned out not to be so bad at all. but the stupid blockbuster rental stopped halfway, so we didn't to see it all. marina was super-mad. haha. then marina was going to come sleepover, but she had a headache, so we decided to go swimmming today [when i wake up]. so i'm actually going to gon swimming!!!. yay for me. then i came home and watched just married for the third time. aawwww.. ashton.

and i finally figured out how to get my avatar to work. so here it is:

hahaha.. i LOVE it!!! it's my first. but there'll be more.. i'm going to place it in the ART section soon. :D

ok.. BIG rant ahead. if you don't want to read me ranting, then this probably isn't the "place to be" right now. or ever, for that matter. but meh. beware: mad entry ahead. ok, there is half of summer left. and that makes me very mad and sad. i mean, without warning, summer will be gone. and there's so much to do.

summer goals still not accomplished

1. read HP 5. [i feel now that it may never happen.]
2. read The Perks of Being a Wallflower. [i'm supposed to do this after reading HP 5. so, i should forget this one.]
3. learn to play guitar. [considering my dad only brought me the guitar i had been asking him to bring me for the past month yesterday, it will take quite a while]
4. make a hemp bracelet. [where the hell do they sell hemp?!?! i mean, if it's so "controversial" then why the hell is it in a freakin' Kids Klutz book?!?!..oooo.. i need to calm down.]
5. swim. [it's simple and yet, one month into summer, i still have not gone swimming.. ONCE!!!]
6. ride my bike. [ever since my accident, i've been too much of a baby to ride my bike. god, i really need to get off my ass]
7. go to chuckie cheeses. [when the hell are we going to go?!!? i forgotten what the stupid rat looks like!]
8. go to centre island. [we ARE going to go!!!]
9. get a freakin job. [i hope i can find a place where they don't mind that my mom will be peering through the window during the interview to ensure they're not raping me]

i decided to include some rantings from a convo with marty.

I HAVENT EVEN GONE SWIMMING YET!!!! i mean.. it's almost freakin august!!! jesus christ. and my whole wasaga trip may be ruined with bad weather. ugghh.. i've worn shorts ONCE. DAMMIT. stupid weather. stupid no swimming. stupid everything. i'm not getting any exercise, its windy EVERY freakin day. the only time my bathing suit was worn was to sit in my kiddie pool!!! i haven't gotten much sun. i've probably forgotten how to do the very little swimming i can!! dammit!!!! jesus christ. and we better go to chuckies... and we better have lots of fun. and bring our report cards. and get prizes. and we should do that more than once before school starts. and we better have this done before registration.. because i have to use the time between that and school starting to cry. and we better go to centre freakin island and go on the freakin quadricycle. and i BETTER get off my ass and stop being afraid of my bike!!! aahhhhh... i have no money. all i have is my parents screaming in each of my ears about how i have to have a job. but of course, i should get it while my mom peers through the window during the interview and while my dad makes promises about job opportunities and breaks them. why, im surprised i dont have five jobs. i mean, according to my mom, i shouldn't even have to go to interviews... i mean, seriously, who needs interviews.. my mom is almost famous. she should just have to holler and people should come and swoop me up so i can make money, and, let's not forget, give my mom $150 a month. because i mean, she raises me. and that's not her job. she's only my mom. and she makes me food. which isn't in her job description as a mom anyway. and she buys me clothes. and why should she do that? i could just walk around naked. and my birthday's coming up. that's great, because i have two options. i can:
1. have a party [which may not even be an option at this point because i cant find any freakin thing 2 do for this stupid party] but of course, i can't get a present from my parents this way, the party IS my present
2. not have a party, [just like last year, where i was tricked out of having a party] and get money from my parents.

stupid summer. and i couldn't even go to the movie night, which i was super excited for. but, i guess this is just a bad day. i will wake up today [hee hee] and it will be sunny, and i will smile. because that it what you do when it's sunny. and i will be happy and i will go outside on my bike and if it's sunny enough, i may even wear shorts for the second time. who knows?
