Happy Holidays

Merry Christmas to all
and to all
a good night.

Holiday Season Fever

BA HUM BAH.


That is the EXACT opposite of how I feel. In fact, I am in such a giddy mood; one could fear me at this very moment. Sure the weather is crappy, it's cold, there's traffic I keep slipping on the ice...but no! I will not let it bring down my happy mood.

It's Friday and though I particularly wouldn't care, this Friday is very special because it is the start of winter break! I'm going to start off by summing up the week.

Monday:
I'm sick. Dreadfully sick. The kind of sick that required me to go to bed at 9 o'clock the previous night. I wake up quite easily, there's no struggle to get up. I am not tired but my head feels very stuffy. I went to bed at 9:40pm.


Tuesday:
My mom wakes me up at 6:15 am. I think I am dead. I can't move my body and I can't really hear anything. When she turns on the light I remember thinking "this is it" until she shakes me and asks if I am well enough to come to band. Oh the agony. Sleep is no longer my friend. I felt like a total fool for thinking I was dead. My brain was not fully awake. I still laugh at that day. Anyways, I tell my mom I am not going to band but I have to go to school because I have to prepare for chemistry. I wouldn't have gone to school if it wasn't for chemistry! It's really taken over my life. I didn't go to the band practice in the morning and I didn't go to jazz after school - that one was cancelled. I slept at 10pm I believe.

Wednesday:
Agony. First period I have a math major quiz. I finish it without any hassle. Second period I have a social studies unit final test. It was annoying. Social studies is my least favorite class. Third period I had a major gases quiz. My brain was about to explode. Not many people sympathized for me! Hey, when you are tested back to back and you're going to complain don't come to me! I went to bed pretty late. I would say 11pm or later.

Thursday:
Jazz was cancelled in the morning. We're watching Blood Diamond in social. I sit beside one of my close friends Christina, we are in deep conversation about how hot Leonardo DiCaprio is. Oh hahaha. I get my math test back the substitute had marked it wrong. I deserved more marks than I was given, I told the teacher and got my marks back! Wasn't too hard. Studied in spare and then had a MASSIVE gases final unit test in chemistry. All I can say is EW. I hate gases, solutions was a much better unit! Band practice after school.. woo hoo.. Can you sense the sarcasm? Hey we got let out at 4:30 ! That's something I was happy about... At home I baked gingerbread cookies! They turned out amazing. I also decided to make some puffed wheat squares as my friend let me try some and it was delicious! The recipe was very easy! Both my cookies and my squares turned out really tasty! I was (and still am) very happy with myself. Ask anyone who knows me, they'll tell you the same thing. I can't cook or bake to save my life. So this may seem little to you, but it's a big accomplishment for me!

Yummy gingerbread cookies.

DELICIOUS puffed wheat squares

Friday:
NOT ONLY IS IT THE LAST DAY OF THE WEEK, IT IS ALSO THE LAST DAY BEFORE WINTER BREAK. I can't believe how fast the year has gone by. It literally seems like yesterday was the beginning. Each class was 42 minutes or so.

Math - There were 10 kids.. and then the numbers decreased as the time passed. It was really boring so people left. I left 10 minutes before the bell and went to hang out in my friends class.

Social studies - I get 6 bonus marks JUST for showing up. Oh miracles really do happen. Hahah my best friend was ecstatic I think he was having a mini party in his head. Shocker? I wasn't invited. We finished off watching Blood Diamond BUT WE DIDN'T MAKE IT TO THE END. IN FACT THE TEACHER STOPS IT RIGHT AT THE MOST DRAMATIC PART. Urgh. I hate when they do that.

Chemistry - I walk in, and I get a cupcake! Yay! He also showed us our grades and if only you could have known how nervous I was! My grade is great! Sure I don't love chemistry but I do understand it and the teacher had only positive things to say about me! Yay!

Last period- spare. Then I took the bus and went home!

I was handing out cookies to my friends today. They all loved my gingerbread, and they all loved my puffed wheat squares! It was an overall great day. Oh the holidays! How great you are ! :)

Oh and I'm not sick anymore.

I almost forgot to show you all the picture from the Coheed and Cambria interview.
Yes I know the quality sucks but I wasn't the one who took the picture and the tour bus was dark!
I did enhance the lighting, before it was so dark!

Coheed and Cambria

Let me start off by showing you this picture.

Yes, that's me, but what's that in my hand?

Remember how in October I posted about interviewing the band Coheed and Cambria? Well the interview made it to print. I was EXTREMELY happy I picked up a copy and showed my close friends. At the start of this week I was sitting in social class and I was really bored.. but then again when am I NOT bored in social? Anyways, I check my phone and I get a text from my friend. It said something along the lines of:

"OMG YOU'RE IN YOUTHINK. THAT'S AMAZING"

I was shocked! He read the magazine and found my article. He was a big fan of the band. It feels nice to get recognition for this band. None of my friends even knew who they were. My friend did and it was nice! He liked my interview haha I felt so giddy!

Today I was in the strings room and these girls (oh and this boy) came into the room. The girl immediately recognizes me and this is the convo we had

"Did you meet Coheed and Cambria?"

"Yes"

"Did you meet Claudio?"

"Yes"

"OMG I love him, Claudio's my husband"

It was really weird I will not lie. I knew the people who walked in, they are in band with me but I only really talked to two of them. They were big fans of Coheed and Cambria so they were asking every little detail about my interview. It was really sudden but very interesting! There are people who love that band and I'm just happy that my interview went well and made it's way to print! My other article didn't make it but you win some you lose some.

I won big. Got my CD signed too.

Yes it was, and it still is a big deal!

P.S.

I FOUND MY JAZZ BOOK.

It was hiding under the couch in my computer room.

Silly jazz book.

Flaula and Elenor

Is there love in the air? I have no idea, it's way to cold to smell anything. I bury my face into my scarf when I walk after school from jazz to catch my bus. It's dark, I love when the sun is setting though I would enjoy it more if I was in a warm car driving home than waiting for the bus in the cold. To get to either of the bus stops you have to cross either a narrow bridge or a bigger one. I always cross the bigger one, why? Isn't it obvious, I hate heights and I am afraid that on that bridge I would slip and fall right over. A bit of negative thinking, yes. I am just a very cautious person. Even crossing the bigger bridge is a problem, but at least I'm not alone. I have a friend who comes with me.

I don't know how such an organized person could lose something so important, and by organized person I mean me. I don't lose anything... Alright I lose the occasional train of thought but that's all. I don't know how I lost my jazz book. I had better find it before our concert 2 weeks from now. Oh the agony, I've been running around looking around for it like a maniac.

Everyone seems to be falling in love these days. All I can say is keep it in your pants.

Here's hoping the weather gets better and that traffic clears up. I despise taking the bus.

It always comes from the soul

The Bartmitsva Cookays. Flaula and Elenor.

I find it impossible to give up

Cello will literally be the death of me. I absolutely love it, but I can not play a thing. Sure I have improved, but that doesn't mean anything, I have to work very hard. Gosh, I hate the bass clef.. bleeeh.

Hung out with my bestfriend of whom I had not seen for 6 years. We had an amazing time, it was the first time I ever ate ginger beef. Yes, a milestone haha.

For some odd reason as I write this, I am speaking in my absolute best british accent, I think it has to do with the fact I have been thinking a lot about England recently. My aunt has invited me to stay, I need to find some time and take her up on that offer.

My mother asked me to go and get some apples from the garage in the process of doing so I found these three miniature apples, and it was enough to brighten my day. It doesn't take much really, I am a pretty happy person recently.

As good as they look, they tasted even better.

I am in dire need of a new camera, I have given up on photography as my camera sucks. I want a DSLR camera, but until I find a job... I can only dream of owning a camera so amazing.

xx

Long time no see

It's becoming so hard to blog these. I've been flooded with assignments, tests and on top of that I had to prepare for concerts. One may ask where do you possibly find the time? I found some time recently on my long weekend, so here is one of those large updates I told you all I'd write.

3 months of dedication to the saxophone paid off. Last week I played at the Big Band Dinner Dance. It was such a fun night, My feet were killing me though. I had my first solo ever; on top of that, it was an improv solo. When it was my turn, I stood up and I couldn't believe how confident I was ! I didn't mess up, I wasn't nervous at all. It wasn't until I sat down that My hands began to shake, it was so weird !! My solo went great and I'm happy for it :)

Yesterday I had my fall concert. I didn't have a solo, but that's okay. The songs we had were not.. that great. Some I liked but I didn't need a solo for those. I'm excited for the new music we're getting, hopefully it's lively and fun.

I have to start joining strings class on Monday. I'm nervous.. but I've been reassured but my friends who are in that class that everyone is so nice.. Let's hope they're right. I need to practice my cello all weekend.. I also need to study ! Oh the life of a nerd.

Tomorrow I am going to meet with one of my friends who I have not seen in over 5 years! Last I saw her was 4th grade.. 6 years ago ! Wow time flies by, it's nice to know that our friendship was strong enough to last all these years!

Or maybe I'm just optimistic?

School just gets better, I've made some interesting new people that I call my "friends" haha I'm just kidding. They are all so nice, and different. In a good way. I am starting to like chemistry... yes, what has the world come to? It's only because I'm doing so well. If I was doing poorly, then I would say something like "I HATE IT SO MUCH!", but I'm not doing poorly, so I don't have a chance to say that.

There's a basic overview of what happened. I could talk about the nitty gritty but I am falling asleep!

Let's hope my next post will come sooner than later,

xx

Anywhere but here

I wake up at 10:30, I'm still aching from a painful sleep. Survived another frightful nightmare, it literally took my breath away. I decide to take a shower, I feel all stuffy. Maybe I'm catching a cold? Please no.

I bought conditioner but forgot to bring it in the shower with me, I left it downstairs. I realize this after I wash my hair with shampoo.. what a slow morning.. I ended up getting conditioner.. I had some left over. Now my hair is silky :)

I worked on my Rwanda project. Today that's all I did. I met up with my friends to finish it, our poster is amazing.

Can I just say that I love Florence and the Machine. My love for her is COSMIC. I am addicted to that song. She never ceases to disappoint me.

I am getting way too distracted. My schedule has been so busy, I wasn't ale to submit my story to become a play. Oh well, I was up to my neck in homework and articles on top of that! I still have to apply for my job.

I can't seem to catch a break.

Interviews

Today I interviewed a famous band for the first time.
My first interview,
It went good for my first time.
Sure I messed up.
But that's why I am a STUDENT reporter.

I hate transcribing the interview though.. urgh. My voice on recordingsis horrible.

I liked how, I did see Claudio, but that ruined the "proffessional" aspect of the interview.
I did get my CD signed.. which is nice.

Hopefully I'll get more interviews in the future and I will continue to grow and get better.




xx

P.S. I hear this interview will make it to print. IT HAD BETTER.

Journalism - Who knew I had it in me

Beyonce is pregnant, but it's not Jay-z's. It's Destiny's Child.

And I'm interviewing a band tomorrow.

Fingers crossed

A VERY LUCKY DAY

I LOVE YOU.

#70 - I'm back

I didn't think I'd be gone this long. Now prepare yourselves for the longest post ever.

POST #70

I'd like to start off by saying that I love my new school. I've made new friends, I'm more involved, the people here are all so nice (majority). Transferring from my last school was a great decision.

FACEBOOK .

I've been facebook cleaning, the people I've met at my new school make me wonder what I ever saw in the people at my last school. I've cleared out many people. At first deleting people was a bit scary, I didn't know how they would react. 145 removals later, and it feels much better. I still have a lot more people to erase, but I guess that can wait, for a little longer. I don't even use facebook much anymore, I'm way to busy with school. I logged on after a long absence and I saw that I had 3 friend requests. This one girl has added me numerous times (7 to be exact) I've ignored her many times. She added me back again. Also, if I removed you off facebook why would I add you back. What would be the point of the removal? So, I've accepted some friend requests and left the rest to decide whether or not I should accept them. 3 requests turned to 7. 7 to 8, then 10 now I have 11! Really people? I didn't think I was that popular...

But on a serious note, I am most likely not going to accept any of them..

SCHOOL - MUSIC .

I am a busy bee. I made it into jazz band, my saxophone playing has improved immensely. I even play my flute much better. I rented a cello and joined strings, though I think that I may be to busy to stick to that commitment. Cello is something I wanted to do for fun, and it takes up a lot of room in the car (my mother drives me to school in a 5 seat car). I think I'll learn the cello for fun, I don't need to be so serious. Why so serious? It's way to much stress for me. I have band Tuesday mornings then jazz after school. Jazz Thursday mornings then band after school. I don't get home until 5:30-5:40 because of the traffic. I come home exhausted, and left to do my homework until late in the night. Such is life, but I asked for it. I love music, and I'm not taking back my decision.

SCHOOL - ACADEMICS .

I am excelling at math. I'm such a nerd I love it. I got my mark sheet back today, and I noticed that she wrote down that I had a 68% on a test. I got a 100% on that test, she messed up. My teacher better fix it or I'm going to have a spazz.

I hate social studies. It's so boring. The teacher also likes to pick on me. I don't really enjoy her humour, that class drains me of life. Just 4 more months...

It's taken me a while to love chemistry. I blogged about how wonderfully nice my teacher is. He also explains things very well. We start each class by reading a comic, called Dilbert. Then we get onto a lesson. It started off easy, then we started to do some stuff that you only need to know in AP. It wasn't too hard, just a little tricky. I practice chem everyday and I see myself improving. I still don't like it as much as I like physics but, it's much better than biology!

HEALTH - KNEE .

I took the elevator for the first part of September. It wasn't until last week or so that I finally started taking the stairs. I can't be on my knee for too long but it has become so much stronger! I went swimming with a friend and boy am I slow, I can't kick at full speed but at least I can swim! The road to recovery isn't over yet, but I have come a long ways. I'm just very happy I can take the stairs. Every day I am getting stronger. Hard work does pay off.

RANDOMS - LIFE .

How much would you pay for this loaf of bread? Less than $5 for sure.

The thing is, this loaf of bread was in a pile with other loaves of bread that were priced at roughly $2.50. My mom picked one up un-aware of the price on the back. The price on the back was....

This is real. My mother paid for it assuming it was the same price as always. She checked her receipt and was astonished, that bread cost no where near the actual price. My mom got her money back, and paid for the ACTUAL lo of the bread. When she brought the bread home and showed me I had to take a picture. Who puts a $27 sticker on a loaf of bread? Somebody who's probably fired by now! Just kidding, it was very funny. The bread didn't even taste that good. You want good bread? Safeway has the best, every other place can't match up to it!

Our bird's name is Java. Java is a girl. Java chirps a lot more now, and her wings have grown. She loves to fly around. I on the other hand.. don't like cleaning up after her! Just kidding, as with all pets come responsibilities.

My brother's birthday is in November but I want to throw him a great birthday party. He's lucky to have me as a sister. I mean sure he doesn't act it, but I am hilarious ! :)

I helped with handing out food on the Terry Fox run, it was so long! My friend and I were passing out food so quick! It was crazy, our hands where moving quick.

HALLOWEEN IN 30 DAYS.

I've been shopping a lot. I love the fall and the winter season. I've coordinated outfits, I'm very excited.

I'm not going to England, and I'm not alone. I can't wait for this summer though! It's going to be amazing.

I think this is a pretty good summary of the last month! I'll try blogging more frequently again. Blogging everyday just makes it a bit boring. I'll try to not leave a massive gap in my blogging. It's just hard to fit it in with my busy schedule.

Oh I found a friend, who is great at photoshop, he is going to be helping me with the blog layout! It's time for a change!

I beat Professor Layton, it was an AMAZING game. I think I'll review it as I am a huge fan.

ONE LAST THING. I WAS NOT PUBLISHED AND I WAS MAD, BUT NOW I REALIZE THAT WHEN LIFE KNOCKS YOU DOWN YOU GET BACK UP. YOU DON'T GIVE UP. I'M STILL PERSUING MY WRITING, AND I WILL BE PUBLISHED AGAIN IN THE NEAR FUTURE!

Sick in the beginning of school? NOT A GOOD COMBO.

How on Earth did I get sick. This is horrible, it's the beginning of school and I get sick. I have the worst of luck. I have a horrible math teacher, she gives a lot of homework, it's a good thing I understand all the math, she's not very good at teaching...

My chemistry teacher is amazing! I really like how enthusiastic he is! He makes learning fun, and wow do I sound like the biggest geek to hit the planet Earth.

Social class is okay... the teacher is nice, and I have a friend in that class which is nice haha.

It's getting hard to post... I mean I've been doing homework since I got home. I guess being sick is a factor, but if I don't post, then I'll have to make it up... but I have to get better first.

xx

"And you are to hand your homework in everyday"

It's a good thing I did mine then.

The young live forever

A slice of cake, I enjoy it oh so much. I haven't had a slice in months! I feel like a child, but there's nothing wrong with that.

So I finally got around to cleaning my room! :) I feel so accomplished.

Sold my bed today, I made some money. Resume is fixed up, all I have to do is hand it in. I really need to get this job.. because I have nothing better to do and it never hurts to make extra cash.

I don't think I'll be going on the band trip to England. It's about $3300 for 11 days, my family is going to europe for the whole summer and it will cost much less. I'll also have much more to do and more vacationing.

I actually thought this over for quite some time. Here's what I came up with.

Why I should not go to England

• It's very expensive to go for just 11 days
• Family trip to europe would mean I would have more vacationing time and more tourist-y things to do.
• I have an aunt and an uncle who live in England, I couldn't go visit them whenever and stay as long as I want, it would also cost me less.
• The money I save by not going can be put to good use, like buying a new camera as my current one sucks.
• I will be very tired

Why I should go

• A band trip with friends could be a lot of fun
• We get to see a musical
• The things we do with band, is arranged and cannot be done on your own

So there we go, though I really want to go to England, not going won't kill me. In fact, it will work towards my benefit... I hope.. I don't know!

Not going to England isn't the end of the world, I've been there before, and I can always go again!

I have a new blog theme coming soon, for those who read my blog, be prepared... it's much better!

Teenage dream, win win win.

  Teenage dream, win win win.

Oh the agony

So there are nearly 700 grade 10s in my school. Every class is at maximum capacity. My math class has 40+ kids, so does my social class. In my chem 20 AP class, I'm the only grade 10. In music I have 75+ kids as all the grades come together.

Today was the first "official" day of school. It was okay, I was late for social. This couple were making out int he hallway and I couldn't pass until they were done... urgh.

I only know 1 kid in my social class, which is good, but the majority of the class are rude people, at least those were my first impressions. School is draining my life, I enjoy it, but I really need to manage my time and go to bed earlier.

I need to clean my room... and finish my math homework. Yes we did get homework, but really it's easy.

So the zorbing tickets aren't coming, it's making me really mad. The deadline is sunday, so if they magically appear tomorrow, yea right.

xx

Sleep at school

How was the first day of school? Exhausting. My knee, is horrible, and the elevator is my saviour. Here's how the day went down.

I wake up at 6:30, I don't remember the exact time I left the house. I arrive at school at 7:28. I walk into the school, where is student council meeting? I have no idea. This blonde girl, in PVA danced talked to me, she didnt know where to go either, so we walked down a hallway, oops we were wrong. Blah blah, then we walk back to the foyer and a teacher tells us where to go! The gym.

I go to the gym, blah blah, I didn't help really, I was too tired. I met up with a girl and we sat on the bleachers and just talked. Then it was time for the grade 10s to come so we all set up a welcome line and cheered when they walked in.

I go to my homeroom using the elevator, and wow there aren't many people there. I meet a girl, she's my locker buddy, she's popular, how's this going to work out? She seems pretty nice, but I don't trust people with my stuff.

I finished the scavanger hunt, found Michelle, then she drove me home. Yay.

So I pretty much wrote this vaguely. I slep as soon as I got home, I am exhausted, I wonder if blogging everyday will be possible with how busy I will become. I will try my best but if I can't make do it, I'll have to make it up with some killer posts.

I doubt my zorbing tickets are coming, I'm pissed, I was excited then my excitement was crushed.

xx

ipads and elevator keys

I thought a TV was a touchscreen so I was pressing it like a fool, then a worker asked me if he could help, I scratched my head my brother laughed as did he. The TV was not a touchscreen, it was on a slide show, how stupid.

My phone is acting up, I have to call Fido tomorrow.

I got my school picture today, it turned out okay... the best part of the day, I got my elevator key! The school isn't bad at all. I'm the cool kid who everyone wants to sneak on the elevator with, too bad I won't let them.

Ipad blog views? Yes, I did.

Listen to this. It is stuck in my head, like a permanent tattoo.

xx

Lucky break

I love my physiotherapist. Okay maybe that's a stretch, but she is amazing. She wrote a letter saying that I cannot take the stairs at my school and that I should take the elevator. This is great news! Now I don't have to worry about the stairs! I'm going to work hard at strengthening my knee. I've been working hard and progress has been made, but there is still a long way to go. Fingers crossed that they let me!!

Picture day tomorrow, I hope my hair doesn't act up. It tends to on important days, how horrible, I have the worst of luck.

I'm watching Java swing on his swing. He's a wonderful bird.

Anniversary

So today is my parents anniversary. They've been happily married for 17 years, how wonderful. The day went by fine, though the weather was horrible. I wore 3 layers and I was still cold! Arrrgh. I saw my friend at a thrift store, it's odd to see how much we've changed. How much we both have parted is sad, but I guess the world still turns. That's why we make new friends, since I'm not staying with much friends at my new high school I know I will make new ones, because the world keeps on turning!

I could write a rant about friendships in the future, but my fingers are freezing cold, I'm wearing a warm sweater. Blame the stupid weather. Yes, I blame YOU weather. I have to go to bed early as I'm going to council tomorrow! Yay for nerdy-ness!

xx

Euphoria

Oh how weird are my thoughts. I set my alarm clock on and set it high away from my bed, so that when it rings I won't reach over and just turn it off. So this may seem normal to everyone but I react quite differently. I wake up 1 hour before the alarm is set to ring, if I turn the alarm off I drift into a sleep that is so heavy I end up waking up hours later! If I keep the alarm on I can't sleep, because I am afraid of the sound that wakes me up. Loud sounds are a tad bit scary, just a tinsy bit. When I am sleeping those sounds are even worse.

I am the odd person, I rarely have a good dream, for every night that I close my eyes to sleep I experience horrifying nightmares. No wonder I'm so on the edge, I can't escape from these nightmares but I don't mind. They do give me a lot of inspiration, for my art, my music and especially my writing. My friends don't like my art, they say it's too dark, well blame my nightmares.

I really admire Tim Burton, he's a freak! Just like me. The things he comes up with are un-real, it makes me look like an amateur. The dark side of things, it's so amazing. I'm not a dark person, don't get me wrong, I love color but I enjoy the mystery of dark art. I'm not a gory artist, I just would rather sketch with black than pink.

"You may hate on me now, but in the future you are going to wish you were nicer to me"

So my work isn't appreciated, who cares. Okay I do, but the truth of the matter is, everyone is a critic, and there's nothing you can do about it. I don't give up, actually the fact is because I didn't I've been given so many opportunities.

This wasn't what I had to write about but still.

Notice the new look of Wowzapalooza? It's yellow! I decided to choose some more color as fall is coming up and I love fall fashion.


Speaking of fashion, who went shopping today because they woke up 1 hour early and didn't want to turn their alarm clock so they wouldn't sleep in? It's me silly!

So yea, I'll tell you what I bought.

Clothes, a bag, make-up brushes, and two pairs of shoes! I am in love with the shoes, love love love them. I bought a beautiful scarf, I love it. Today has been nothing but euphoria.

Now you know that I have nightmares every night, and that I love shopping. I'm thinking of making another blog, dedicated to the arts, but I won't leave this blog, I love it too much. I need to find a blog fitting name. Wowzapalooza by Dea, and now something else. Hmm, guess that's my new project?

xx

Stop breaking my heart

Stero Love - I love the background music much better than the lyrics. I'm trying to find the instrumental for my blog. The blog needs a whole new look. It's too bright, too white. I like the vintage feel, but it's time to try something new. New music, new layout. I'm going to try my best to try fixing it tonight.

Other news, CD arrived in the mail. Going to listen to it over and over again until I know every word, then I'll review it. The band is simply amazing.

So lucky me, having a spare every other day. I'll just finish all my homework in that spare and relax at home. Though french doesn't fit until grade 11, I'm happy with the outcome. This year is going to be great... well I'm hoping. We're just going to have to wait and see.

Speaking of school, must get all my back to school shopping done soon! I go back in 1 week from today. Yes school starts officially for me on Friday, though I am going on Monday for SC (student council), and sept 2 is the un-official. Ahh summer is almost done, but I embrace the future with open arms.

xx

Let's just say, I get my way

Not in a snobby way, I work for it. I earn what I get. I believe that in order to succeed in life, you must work hard at it. What does this have to do with my day, I'm getting there, be patient.

I went to physio today, urgh, they want me to increase the strengthening, it's really tough, but I feel my knee strengthening. If I want to walk up those stairs I'm going to have to strengthen this knee.


So Bertie came over today! I gave her my crappy gift then she surprised me with her AMAZING gift.

See Bertie is my indie friend, don't be fooled, she may be asian but she worships Andrew as do I. Finding a friend who shares the same obsession for indie music and the love for Andrew is hard, so when I found Bertie I knew she was a keeper. Okay so I didn't find Bertie, we just met, same thing.

Anyways, she stayed for two hours and we played scrabble and cheat... but who cares, it's the QUALITY time we spent together. With her making me feel horrible, and making fun of me. I kid, though she did beat me in scrabble. It hurt. haha.

Look at what Bertie made me!

So the bigger one is what Bertie made me, the worn in look is part of the overall process. It's to give it a more indie vintage look. The rainbow one, was made for Pride, not made by Bertie. I like it though, Bertie's friend made it, and now it's mine!

So I really need to buy a new camera, like my picture quality is crap.

My timetable is fixed, sort of. I have a spare every other day, I got my physics class but not my french. I'll just take french in grade 11, then in grade 12 Ill take 30 and AP. Ah, it pays to plan ahead.

When I said I got my way, I said that because, physics is my favorite science class and I got it.

BURT'S BEES

If you know me, you'd know my lips are so dry. I have no idea why, I drink plenty of water. It's a weird thing with me. I need to make a lip scrub. I bought Burt's Bees as I figured it would solve my lip problem. I hope this works, dry lips are horrible.

What else did I buy today? Yellow nail polish. It's wonderful. I love it.

Did I get around to making Bertie the bag? No.
I have to clean my room, and I have a gift for her ! So it's all good.

I have physio tomorrow, FINALLY, that is wonderful news.

I'm going to watch agt just to see if Prince Poppycock got through. He is my favorite.

More exciting news on a bland day

I applied to review a CD for that YOUTHINK, and today they sent me an e-mail telling me I got the CD! I can't tell you which CD I got because it's a secret but this is such exciting news. They are one of my favorite bands!

More exciting news, one of my bestfriends, Bertie, is coming to visit me on Thurday. Yay...

Bad news, she is bringing me a gift, now I'm going to have to make her a bag. That's not to hard, I'm worried I don't have enough fabric. ARGH THE AGONY!

Well I'm going to go and find something right now.

Why waste time, I have 3 hours and 20 something minutes till midnight, that's plenty of time!

xx

Miss Universe

I just spent two hours watching the Miss Universe pageant! It was annoying because my country didn't win but oh well. Congrats to Mexico, yay.

On another note, I woke up at around 12pm. Didn't do much today, except go to the library.

I took out 3 books, each did not smell bad so I will read them all! They are murder mystery books as those are my favorites. I used to read romance but then they got way to sappy.

Murder mysteries are dramatic. Well I make them way more dramatic than they have to be. Which is great, makes them more fun to read.

So that massive watermelon we bought is horrible. I took one bite. There's so many pieces... it's like it will never end... urgh.

It's almost september. Which means school starts, and it also means I get to see if my article made it to print! Print is very exciting. I love love love it! I've explained this before, but yea. You'll have more opportunities. At least that's what I think.

Ick. I'm off to clean the birds cage....

A day not wasted

Well what can I say about today?
Today is a day NOT wasted.

Here's how it went.
Woke up at 8am. Slept in till 9. That's pretty good for going to bed at 3am...
What did I do?
I filled the printer with ink, then printed out some instructions. Today I decided to make a shoulder bag!
My dad had this old over sized polo shirt which he no longer wore. I took it, and used it for fabric! I also had leftover fabric from when I made my shorts in fashion class, I used that too.

Well the bag was intimidating at first, but it was surprisingly easy!

Here is the outcome of me sewing my bag! (My mom helped with the button holes as I was clueless)

The tutorial I used didn't have buttons, I changed it up a bit because it was so bland and now it's not!

That polka dotted fabric is actually a pocket! The white fabric is what I had left over from my shorts in fashion class. I also added some Velcro so the bag would close and be a bit secure :)

I made a beautiful bag out of recycled fabric. Really, it didn't cost me a thing, I had a lot of the items already so I didn't need to go out and buy anything.

What else happened today? It's Sunday, we went shopping. We had to go buy my brother some items for his uniform (grey pants, black shoes), thank god I never have to wear a uniform again.

The last stop that we went to before going home was superstore. There my father paid eight dollars for this MASSIVE watermelon (well the biggest one we've had all summer).

I have a picture where I compare how big the watermelon is compared to my head, but I'm not posting it on here. I look plain weird. It's an icky photo, haha :D

Do you see what can be accomplished when the day is not wasted? I'm going to try and wake up early again tomorrow so my day won't be wasted. 8 days until student council, 10 days till school. They better fix my timetable or I'll get into an argument with words. If you want something done, put your foot down and don't give up.

xx

I sleep in late

I mean who cares it summer right? WELL I CARE. I wake up at around 2pm. Meaning I have roughly 8 hours to do stuff with my day. I end up doing nothing. Unless I go somewhere, my summers are so boring. I was going to spend the whole summer in New York, but I had my surgery. Everything happens for a reason. My family is planning a big trip to Europe next summer... that is if all goes well. I'm waiting till the end of august to hand in my resume. I hope I get the job, but I've already been declined once...hopefully this place will accept me!

I am the kind of person who plans ahead. Plans far ahead. I think I'll be going to England come winter break. I don't know, it's just an idea. I have an aunt who lives there, so I can go whenever really. I woke up at 2 pm. So this blog lacks... a lot. I write about my day, but the only thing I did today was stay in my basement gaming.... yea go me...

I got an e-mail from a girl I had e-mailed. She was very polite, how nice of her.

xx

Take that Holoholo Bird

Yes, today I finally beat the bird. It was such a joyous occasion, I celebrated with myself because I was the only person home. I named the bird Java. That's his temporary name. We played with him today. Oh boy, he sure likes to fly, and he likes my brother more than me! This will all change soon...I hope.

The only exciting thing that happened today was when I beat the Holoholo bird.

xx

Oh hail no

Hail is dangerous. If their big enough they can knock you out! It started hailing about 15 minutes ago and they were huge. My mom yelled "my car, MY CAR!" I laughed, but it was serious. My brother wore a helmet outside. He came inside saying and had some in his hand. they were pretty big. Now it's raining. The weather where I live, is very pms-y. I've been playing this game since my surgery. I'm on disk two and I can't beat the bird. It takes me roughly 1 hour and a half to get HALFWAY there. Then I die. I get pissed off. Turn off the console and walk upstairs. It's horrid. I have no life, but this game is addicting. I've already lost today but I'm going to try to beat that bird again today. I'm Level 20 the bird is level 28. How stupid.

This post is late

I am slacking on my blogging lately. It's just I have nothing interesting to write about.

I got my schedule yesterday, I have a spare every other day and an extra spare in semester 2. They didn't put physics or french in my timetable. My timetable is really messed up because of music. I hope that they put me in the classes I requested, if they don't this will ruin how I planned out my classes. I am to write 4 diplomas in grade 11, I don't think french counts as a diploma. Grade 12 is when I take all the extra AP. I've had bad luck with counsellors, I hope this time they actually try to help me. I know they think they are all mighty and powerful but really, you're a school counsellor and you're supposed to help the students. I am bitter about them because at my last school my guidance counsellor screwed me over. In the end you save yourself right? Well then you see your true colours.

For a kid who doesn't like science, I sure was happy I got into chem 20 AP. When I was in grade nine I did regular english 10, my mark was really high and so was my teacher reccomendation that I got into english 20 AP. Ahh I know I sound like a major nerd, but I'm oh so happy.

Not happy about french and physics. I was looking to taking physics the most, and they better put it in my timetable. I'm not one to go down without a fight. Well I'm a pacifist but that doesn't mean I can't argue my case. Hahah I sound like a lawyer :).

I was the kid in grade 9 who was in a different class than the others. I was the only non-uniform kid in my new classes. So I think I know what I'm talking about. Urgh, just thinking about how I was screwed over makes me mad. But in the end, I won and I'm pretty sure I will again. I don't lose, it's just how it is.

Okay I lose in sports, I'm not good. But just try to beat me in swimming. Try me in about 3 months because my knee isn't healed yet and if we were to compete right now I'd be at a disadvantage and you'd win. Which wouldn't be fair, then again lifes not fair but to be fair wait three months.

Zorbing tickets have YET to come!

Okay I'm going to exercise my knee and ice it.

Twas a blessing to see Blessing

I laughed so hard today. I've texted Blessing all summer. We talk almost every single night. It's like she was there, but she isn't. Today she came over and it was amazing to see her. I beat her in scrabble, although we didn't keep score. We just made up random words, it was quite funny to see our reactions. She beat us both in cheat but then I turned around into high gear and beat them both (Them is her and my brother).

Curled my hair with spoodles. I must say the curls turned out much better than if I had done it with a heat tool. They are environmentally friendly and can be used more than once!

It's 5 minutes to midnight, I know this post isn't very long. Too bad, I'll blog again tomorrow.

♥ MGMT ♥

One of my absolute favorite bands in the whole entire world.

This will distract you from the ugly picture below of my scar.

:D

He remains nameless

I present to you all, my family's first pet. We've had numerous amounts of fish but they don't really count as pets. Today we bought.... a bird!

Isn't he beautiful? His color radiates in our house. He's a little shy now but I am certain in a few days once he gets used to everything he'll adapt much better.

He currently has no name. We need to choose something that fits him perfectly. Anybody have any suggestions?

Just finished watching the Mr. Bean movie. He is hilarious, his idiot ways always make me laugh. I laughed really hard at the part "Estelle this is the last time, or it's over" he dies, I laugh. Tragedies are hilarious to me.

The surgeon who operated on my leg is the absolute best. I will tell you all about it tomorrow when I go see him for my check up.

Until tomorrow!

"It's called the 'Roger's Cup' for a reason"

I watched about 5 minutes of the Roger's Cup today. Ferderer beat Djokovic YAY!
Notice something different? Well you should. I re-did my blog! I also got rid of my DIY section. I had fimled DIY but my camera quality is horrific. If I'm going to put tutorials on here, they need to be made in good quality.

I opened Exile last night, I figured I'd start reading it. The books smells of cigar smoke. It's unbearable. I couldn't open the window beause it was raining heavy last night. I think I'll try reading it tonight. I can't breathe well around smoke, good thing that the weather will be nice tonight! At least I hope so....

Why does the mail hate me? My tickets haven't arrived yet, and neither has my school schedule. I enjoy getting mail, it's like somebody took the time to send you that item! An e-mail is different. I end up trashing them anyways. Letters have more meaning to them than e-mails do. I just wish my mail would arrive quickly-er.

I have a surprise for tomorrow. I hope it all goes as planned. I'm going to recharge my camera and surprise you all tomorrow (hopefully).

The Host - Book Review

I've stated in previous posts that I am a massive bookworm. Today at 12:00 am I decided to start reading The Host as I had checked it out of the library. I had originally delayed reading the book as I was to lazy to pick it up. I borrowed it from a friend last year and I made it half way through and just gave it back to her as the book was boring me. I only checked it out as I wanted to finish the book and get it done with.

Here is my review on The Host.

This is my own personal opinion. Everybody has their own, this is mine.

I've read the Twilight saga, and I loved it. That was a phase in my life when I genuinely thought the books were amazing. The movies came out and ruined it all. They are competing with Harry Potter and they will never win. I was reading reviews on Stephenie Meyer, one person said she can't write. I can see where they are coming from, and I am agreeing for the most part, but I also disagree with it.

I disagree:

• Her books are about love, so of course she going to target teenage girls, and young women.
• They're easy to understand, and are written in the point of view of the main character.

(not much I disagree with)

I agree:

• Each of her books is in the point of view of the main character. It gets annoying with the constant I's.
• She write about love. This wouldn't be a problem if it there wasn't so much of it.
• The books have a flat out no action. It made me really mad while reading "The Host" because when something good was about to happen, she would block it out with chapters of nothing. The book was interesting, but there were many times when I had readers block. It got boring for me.
• Too much dialogue within one's inner self and the characters in the book. I want to read a book to distract myself from all the talking, how can I relax when there is too much dialogue. There was enough talking to drive me insane. The conversations were flat out boring except when they talked about the danger of the Seekers, but that didn't last long as she blocked it with many chapters.

I'm not trying to hate on Meyer, it's just I believe because of all the marketing the books have become much greater than they are set out to be. I love reading books, and usually when the book gets turned into a movie it ruins it for me. Vampires are in these days, I blame twilight. Remember the days when they were scary, now teenage girls are practically begging Robert Pattinson to bite them. What has the world turned to?

Back to my review on "The Host" I seemed to have strayed away from it.

I liked the idea around the book. Parasites living inside a host. These hosts are us humans. The idea of the story was great, I just felt she could've done more with it. It was really boring at times. I was hoping for a massive war between the remaining humans and these Aliens, that never happened. It's all about love. Love is sweet, but not when it is excessive. I had to read the beginning a few times as I wasn't completely understanding it. I skimmed a bit. If you are confused while reading the book, it will all make sense by the time you make it half way through the middle... if you make it that far.

Overall the book was mediocre. If you are a die-hard fan of the series and the author you will love it. I used to be like that, then I started reading books by authors who have talent. Authors who have not sold themselves short for the movies.

I feel like Meyer is trying to be like J.K. Rowling, this will never happen. I still like the Twilight Saga but I am no longer a twi-hard. I am regretting buying the books. It seems anybody can write a book these days.

4 / 5 - For the idea of parasites and hosts.

2 / 5 - For dialogue. There was too much.

3 / 5 - For story line
____________________________

3 / 5 - Overall

Would I reccomend the book?
Sure why not? It gives you something to think about. The idea is a great idea.


Alright that was my first book review! Hope you liked it, or if you didn't that's okay. We each are entitled to our own opinions.

The next book which I am hoping to review for you all is "Exile" By Richard North Patterson.

This book will take me a longer time to read as it is much longer and the font is small! I'm not complaining. The book has had amazing reviews so I am hoping to enjoy the book as much as others have!

Until next time

I love Florence and the Machine

"You've got so many D's and your twitters hanging out"

One of my close friends Ana, came over today. I hadn't seen her for many months and I was very excited to see her again. We talked, a lot. I can't describe this euphoria. It was great to see a friend from the past :D

I woke up early as I figured I'd clean, my alarm scared me. Isn't that normal?

Not much to report, well actually I don't report. I blog. On blogspot. Because the train is still moving and it would hurt if I jumped off.

I'm going to bed early tonight, as in right now. Yay me.

I post everyday, it's random it's me. Deal with it.

I have blue eyes, brown hair, and I'm european

I have my bestfriend read my blog posts outloud. Her voice is amazing for radio. She has an amazing personality. My gosh, I feel like I'm filling out an application haha.

I enjoy getting in touch with friends from the past. You leave the old behind to make with the new, but what if the new aren't worth it. Well I don't know what I'm saying here, but I have gotten in touch with some friends from the past and I am glad I did!

When I told people I've never texted in my life, they gave me a really odd look. Now the problem is I can't stop texting. I text people early in the morning because of my insomnia.

Blessing texted me, and she was pissed. Apparently I ruined 2 dreams in a 5 minute span. Yes, I have the ability to ruin your dreams, hahah I sound like a monster.

My friend, who I haven't spoken too for over a year is coming over tomorrow, I am very excited. :D


Yesterday's the past. Tomorrow's a mystery. Today is a gift; that's why it's called the present.

Happy 8/9/10

I seriously don't know what to name this post

I love when I buy jackets. They last longer than shirts, pants and such. At least for me they do. I bought 2 today. Just in time for the fall. Ahh I've planned ahead.

My insomnia is worsening! This is horrid, and my knee is not getting any better. I've come to realize something today. PEOPLE ARE CHEAP. I say this because I was in an old bookshop and before it said 3 books for 1 and I went ahead and chose 3 books. When I went to pay they told me that offer no longer existed and I looked at the board in fine print it said "Offer does not stand for books with prices" or something like that. I was very mad. I had chosen 3 amazing books and my mom said I could choose one. I ended up just choosing "The Innocent Man" as I had been meaning to read the book for many years. Well I'll start reading it tonight! Ahhh! Yes, I am such a bookworm.

Best product I bought this weekend.

Definately Cetaphil. I've been washing my face with it, and I already am seeing results. Though they are slight, this product is working... well it's a start. I'm a lazy person, so sticking to a routine is hard for me. It will benefit me in the future which is why I need to make good habits now.

Wow, I am yawning, let me take this opportunity to finally go to bed? Maybe I have no clue. I went to bed at 3am let's hope tonight is different :D

My mother's nagging at me. Again.
That's my cue to leave/

chorus x2

I can walk without crutches but it is much harder. I went out with one crutch, you can tell which people were polite. Many people stepped aside, others were so rude and acted as though they were better than the rest of us. I stared holes into their heads as they were intolerable. Some people now a days.... Well I am never going to go walking with one crutch again. It's so much harder and the stress on both my legs is insane!

I've never won a grand prize

Today that all changed. I won 5 tickets to go zorbing. I screamed oh so loud that my mom, brother and his friend all came to see what the big commotion was. To all who don't know what zorbing is. Basically you are a human in a giant hamster ball rolling down a hill.

At first my excitement quickly turned into sadness as I thought I wouldn't be able to go zorbing because of my recent knee surgery. I then did some research and found out you are strapped in! YAY! This means that I won't have any resistance on my knee, I am going zorbing! I am very excited. It will be a great experience, a great way to end the summer. I'm way to far ahead of myself. The surgeon needs to allow me to do it. I will make him give me the A-OKAY. Which he most likely will say because I am going to work so hard and strengthen my knee. Now that I have won the grand prize I'm not letting this up !

So I have insomnia. This isn't going to be good. It takes me so many hours to go to bed. I usually fall asleep between 2am and 3am. My body is exhausted my mind keeps racing. I also can't sleep in a good position because of my knee. Argh, I suffer. Actually I don't I'm just really dramatic. I don't know why I didn't choose drama, I would excel in it. Oh that's right stage fright, yet I can play music in front of people? ODD.

My brother went to Calaway Park today with his friends, then his friend came over to our house and they played ps3. I on the other hand organized the china cabinet. I didn't take any before and after pictures but I must say my work is astonishing. I love interior design. It's amazing what I can do to a space. I think I'm going to find a part time job at some store that sells home items as it will be put to good use!

Who else has been watching re-runs of Oprah? Well I have, and I am SO SAD. I can't believe the queen of daytime is LEAVING! Good thing Miz O is getting her own cable show.

Let's see how tomorrow goes :D

I hate sorority life

On of my closest friends, begged me to join her in sorority life as she could gain a house member. I only joined sorority life because I am a good friend. I had no idea what would become of me. The game sorority life is pointless, it's not fun. In fact every time i play the game my computer has  massive spazz and the fan goes LOUD. Urgh. I dealt with it as it became addicting and I made I was leveling up. Those stupid brownie points, stupid Rory. Stupid Stupid STUPID Rory. My friend is probably reading this laughing. Well as soon as the clock strikes midnight I am removing the application off my facebook. I'm removing all the people who added me to join my house as I have NO idea who you all are. I went through all the trouble of blocking them from seeing any part of my page. Please spare yourselves, do not join sorority life. I lost sleep over stupid Rory. I sound like a loser. Way to spend your time on a stupid game.

WELL NO MORE. My friend had to console me, she is also facepalming herself asking her why did I ever drag her into this. Way to create a monster Blessing

I'm not street but I do what I gotta doooo! I am loving Cobra Starship. I am also loving FAME. It's giving me inspiration for lookbook. I've made this whole sketchbook of outfits, all of which I don't own, but that's not the point. The point is I have established creativity through FAME.


I am stressing about over my article. I am HOPING it gets printed. I blog online, I could post the article on here rather than their website. Fingers crossed that it makes it in print. I like print, it's more professional, and seems more recognized.

Like you were printed? Yep that's me. As apposed to, oh I read that online. Yea... the vibes are different. At least I think so.



Progress: I am starting to walk much better. I can walk without my crutches for a little bit, it's really awkward how I walk. My arms wave around haha. I keep a crutch with me at all times. I hate the knee exercises but I must do them if I want to get better.

Until tomorrow's awkward rampage :D

Remember my name

I'm gonna live forever, I'm gonna learn how to fly; High. I feel it coming together, People will see me and cry; Fame. I'm gonna make it to heaven, Light up the sky like a flame; Fame!


Fame is amazing, the movie, the music, it's so inspiring.

So I got amazing feedback from that article I wrote. The editor told me that my writing is solid. I screamed, I love it when people compliment my writing. Writing is one of my absolute biggest passions in the world. I work really hard on my work. In my grade 10 English class I worked the hardest in the whole class. I say this because I stayed after school to discuss my work, I always re-submitted assignments, I worked very hard. English is not my first language but I am way passed fluent. I work so hard in English class because one of my dream careers is to be the editor-in-chief of my own magazine. I enjoy writing, I enjoy spreading my opinions, with the rest of the world.

I used to be a very shy person, I always kept to myself. One night I was lying in my bed, and I had a massive epiphany. My life was boring, how would I have fun if I just kept to myself? I decided to create a blog, just as Betty (from Ugly Betty) did. I never realized how fun blogging would be. I'm posting about my life to the world wide web. With this comes precautions. Anybody can read it, it could fall in the wrong hands. These things lingered in my mind and then I realized who cares? I don't post things that are offensive, to be honest my blog is more of a personal thing. I'm not getting paid, I don't have many followers, it's just me.

Some people write in their diaries, I prefer to blog.


GUESS WHO LEFT THE HOUSE AFTER 8 DAYS SPENT INDOORS?
What you don't know?
It was me silly! It was fun breathing FRESH air. I almost got attacked by a mosquito but it was all worth it. I went to the library picked up some music (FAME and Cobra Starship), picked up a few how-to magazines and checked out 2 books. I also bought 2 books. Yes I achieved great things today, at the library. I was dressed horribly though. The only pants that cover my bandages and don't hurt are sweat pants. I broke a rule, I wore sweat pants in public. HAVE MERCY ON ME! hahaha I believe my mother is nagging at me to go do my exercises, until tomorrow's epic day.

Wow I used the word epic to describe the word day, well okay let's keep it there.
