Facepalm

I am quite irritated!

I called this lady 2 weeks ago to fix my class. I am to be enrolled in french not Spanish! She says it's all under control. My textbook still hasn't arrived and online it says I am still enrolled in Spanish! AHH THE AGONY. Class starts Monday. If I don't get into french I'm going to be pissed because they GUARANTEED me a spot in September. This is my first time taking online through this school and so far I am not enjoying it! Oh the added stress.. why oh why?

My best friend won't be able to come hang out with me this long weekend because he is snowed in in a farm outside of the city! What luck! I just hope he's there at school for my birthday! I don't really have anyone else to eat with because they all irritate me too much and their group of friends don't get along with me. He better shovel his way out ! hahah

I need to clean my room. I really do. I should clean it tonight... we'll see how well that goes.

Also can that same number who's been calling for weeks now stop? It's getting irritating. Do you think we're never home? Hello we have caller ID. We're IGNORING you.

You'd think they'd take a hint; but you know, not everyone's bright.
Sheesh I think next time they call I'll pick up the phone and yell.
Tempting, but I'm not a wild animal.
*Sigh.
Got any solutions?

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!

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.

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!

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.

"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 made a deal with my brother

I'm sure my two followers are very saddened, I've been M.I.A for a week and a couple of days, they probably were yanking out their hair waiting for my posts.

Ha. I wish.

One of my followers is my brother, who I bribed to follow me, because I was ranting to a blank internet, no views, nothing. He followed me, and that's only because I made him. I'm not desperate, I'm lonely. There's a BIG difference. The other follower is my friend, she likes my blog, but I think she also felt bad for me.

Stomp. That was me putting my foot down in a dramatic manner. Yes, I've had it, no more feeling sorry for myself, and I no longer want people feeling sorry for me. Time to take action.

From now on, each blog post will be a secret. I will number them, who knows, maybe in the future I will have 3000 secrets.. hahaha oh if only I was so motivated.

I've spent countless hours on this blog, editing it, changing the template, everything I possibly could to find it appealing. When I finished it, and I was so happy with the outcome, I asked one of my best friends, Bertie (doesn't she have such a unique name?) whom I tend to frequently call Bert. Does anybody remember Bert and Ernie? I loved Sesame Street growing up, and Bert was always my favorite from the two.

Anyways, sorry I got a bit side-tracked. So I asked for her opinion, and she gave it; I'm not going to lie, it stung a bit, I'm the kind of person who gets hurt when they don't hear what they want.
Bertie was honest with me, and even though all the hours that went into my template making went to waste, I saw where she was coming from and I respected how truthful she was.
"The truth isn't always going to come on your shoulder like a bluebird" - A quotation along those lines by Kelly Cutrone.

Thank you Bertie for bookmarking my blog, and giving me great advice...which I forgot but it was good at the time hahah.

Oh and Bertie and I entered a contest to win tickets to the folk music festival in our city, I hope that one of us wins and we go together. We will dress up like hippies, because of course we want to make our beloved Andrew proud.

Thank you to all who took the time to read secret #1. Stay tuned for secret #2.
