Plans? what plans?

I was going to go to Geoffs house today, but his family is going to Comox. why Comox? I dont know, but that means my afternoon plans were shot to hell. So, i called up Alleah, thinking maybe we could hang out downtown or something, seeing as today is the LAST DAY i have my bus pass. But no, she has to cleeean. Damn her. So, i called up Nick. Lucky for me, he had nothing to do either besides hang out with Jordan, so the three of us are going down to the lake. Not really what I had in mind for today, but oh well. Then, at 5, i'm going over to Spencers for a little p-tay shes having. and then, sleeping over. I'm assuming that this evening will be awesome. And it had BETTER be. so just sitting here... waiting for Nick to call to tell me when hes leaving... dum da dum.

As Always, a Turn of Events.

So i found out yesterday that when Aden asked if he could bring his friend, his stepdad was like, " I'm pretty sure she doesnt want you to bring your friend Aden." !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously. How the HELL would his stepdad know?? one that i have never met, i might add. SO anyways, Spencer had to be like, I dont know if she likes you or not! Because, she didnt want to say I did, but also didnt want to say I didnt. So, things are confusing.
About the movie, yes his friend James came, who is totally weird. A least he left us alone a couple of times. And it was really funny because whenever James acted too weird, Aden would be like, Shut up and then look at me and pretend to be all cool. I guess i was kind of standoffish last night, and not really myself. Well, not my fault! i wanted it to be just me and Aden! But, I guess he is just as thick as all other guys his age, and will not know i like him til i tell him! Which i might do tonight actually, seeing as I will be at his house. Well, my cat puked on the floor, so I have to go clean it up.

Stupid day..

Spencer told me he's bringing a friend. WHY IS HE BRINGING A FRIEND??

Look away! its HIDEOUS!!

Serisously, today i am a monster. Little children would scream if they saw me walking near them on the street. Today was my second ( and last) dentist appointment, and for some reason, i am MORE FROZEN than iwas on tuesday! The left side of my fae from my eye down is completely stationary. i look like such a freak. I cant even smile properly, i just end up looking like a gremlin. THIS TOTALLY SUCKS!!! I'm supposed to be leaving for the movies in 2 hours and im still going to look like Quasimodo on a bad day. Why oh why do bad things always happen to me???? And oh THE PAIN!!!! * whimper*.....
This evening better be worth it, or else somebody is going to be dead, and it sure as hell aint gonna be me. But, i am going to the movies with Aden, so it is bound to be good. And this morning was cool too. I went to see this Tarot Card reader in Parksville, who is really awesome. Apparently, I am going to save some lives. So, if youre going to get into danger, do it near me and I can protect you. Unless that danger includes bees, needles, or tornadoes, cause then youre on your own bub. Well, i am going to go drink some tea because i heard it taKes the freezing down. Wish me luck!

Rock the Boat!

               oh, today was a superbly awesome day!! I hung out with collective, which is always good fun. And as suprising as this may sound, i have not done stuff with them in ever! So, today we went out on Laura's dads boat. We put on our lifejackets and went zooming off to Protection island to the Dinghy Dock Pub where we ate... Sex in a Dinghy!! what else would we eat? And then we went on these real choppy waves uber fast and i screamed my head off cause it was the funnest thing in the world!! seriously, it was wondrous! And we sang our old songs.. with the harmonies... just a great time. The only thing that could have possibly made it better would be the magical appearance of our boys. But still marvelous despite that.  Then, after the random speedy boating we anchored off Protection and jumped into the icy ocean, floundered around a bit ( even though we had life jackets on) looked ridiculous while attempting to lunge onto an air mattress, and tanned on said mattress. After we got bored of that, we went for some more speed boating, and then headed back to shore to park and get ice cream! All in all, a very satisfying day. My mom was envious. and OH!! Laura found those three movies of mine that she had lost before! DOUBLE HAPPY-FUN! Oh, well, thats all that happened today, so i guess i'll just tlak o people on msn.

Gossip Monger

          Yesterday was Tuesday, correct? Well, Tuesday was a crazy mix of good, bad, worse, and better.  In the morning these men came over to rip apart our bathroom, and then put it all back together again. I didnt find this out until i came out of the shower, which i found out later i wasnt actually supposed to do. But whatever, i like being clean. Anyway, we get stuff done to our house all the time, so it wasnt abnormal, but these stupid blockheaded idiot men left the front door open!! anyone with half an ounce of brain shuts the door when someone says WE HAVE INSIDE CATS! Sometimes i hate people. Not often, but sometimes i have nothing but distaste for the idiocies of the human race.  And then my day went ahead without my permission and got worse. I had to go to the dentist to get some fillings, which i have gotten before, so I didnt think it would be so bad.. but it was the most terrifying dentist experience i have ever had in my life! They stuck this rubber block in my face and then clamped something really hard on my teeth which felt like theyt ripped one out, anf then gave me 6 needles in the right side of the mouth so i was completely frozen, and then they started drilling, which is normal, but there were all these crazy noises which i dont usually hear and... iwas frightened. I tried to be all cool, and like, not scared, because everyone knows i have that tough image to protect, but when they brought out those needles it was hard not to start shakin' in my boots. After the appointment i was frozen for hours afterwards. I looked like a freak who couldnt even smile properly. whats worse is that I have another appointment on Friday... only a few hours before i go see The Village with Aden. Joy.

     So after the dentist I went to Mel's house and we had a really fun time gossiping about our respected love lives, and the lack thereof. We had dinner at Swiss Chalet and rented Love Dont Cost a Thing. A very fun night. We also laughed ourselves hoarse in bed, nothing unusual.
    My plan for today is to go on Laura's Dads boat and have a jolly good time, while discussing... you know. so, I'll write more when i get home

Attention

           Im going kind of crazy today. You see, I like this guy, some people know, some people dont. He's a friend of mine, but one i just recently met. Why is this making you crazy, you ask? well, girls dont usually like him, so he just thinks they never will. However, 2 girls (besides me) already do. He knows this. So, im thinking he will want to go out with one of them just because he can. To avoid this, i would have to tell him that i like him, and now you see where the dilemma is.  I really should do something about it though, because he is such a sweet guy. I wont go into detail, just in case the wrong person should stumble across my blog. *sigh*  These situautions always make me sad.

The End of an Era

              Yes folks, thats it, the end to the three week and 2 day saga that was Arts Alive. I will miss you terribly Copa Cabana!! Well, i have been a very busy girl! Friday was....interesting. I was about ready to shoot someone in the head in the morning. Callium came in ( finally) to practice the music with us and it was completely different! We ran through all the songs and they were so horrible.. I couldnt bear to think what the show would be like.. but, later, we had our dress rehearsal which wasnt half bad, so i was back in good spirits. Then we had a little get together at Lauras house which i hearily enjoyed for my *cough*  own reasons.  any of you out there who know my little secrets will know what I mean ( wink wink). Saturday and Sunday were my shows, which were tres awesome, and then last night was the cast party, which was also EXCELLENT!!
          So now todayis wind down day. I will probably go to the lake with some friends and bask in the sun, while talking about the show. great fun.

helter-swelter

             You know its bad when your eyelids start sweating. And thats what kind of a day it is today. A sweat-like-a-pig, stick-to-your-seat, fry-an-egg-on-the-sidewalk, melt-into-a-puddle-of-ooze day. And where was I? Why, in an 8 million degree theatre, of course. Its about this time when you start hitting your head against a brick wall wondering why on earth you signed up for arts alive. But i know next week i wont know what to do with myself, and i will be missing my Copa people.  We had our Tech rehearsal today, which is always hell, let me tell you. Picture this: Having a 10 person crew that you cant see yell things at you while you try to move heavy set pieces and act at the same time, and then dance, and one you finish having to do it all over again. Add blazing hot stage lights, lots of clothes, and three weeks of fatigue and youve got yourself a tech rehearsal. We did it for 3 hours and we only finished act one. But, lucky for us, crew stayed late to figure out the rest on their own. I would buy them presents but I dont have any money.
          So tomorrow is my last day (aside from shows) of arts alive. Sadness! i have to make sure that i get everyones numbers and such for some h-core partying. Im fairly sure we're having one first week of August, at Gator's place of course. I should really design a sign for her room that says that. And one for Alleah too... Pinto's corrall. hahahaha, she'd kill me. But it would be funny for the few seconds of my life before that.
                The rest of my day was cool, and relaxo-matic. I went to the library, saw Nicola and chatted for a few minutes. Went home, did a lot of nothing, went to hang out with my moms friend Glen Copp ( weird, I know) who has the COOLEST vintage car, and he let me look under the hood. My mom was there too of course. She has a big huge crush on him, which i think is funny. Oh, and i picked cherries from a tree in his backyard. He said he might get a pool back there, which would mean him and my mom would have to get married so i could have big parties in his pool and drive his car around.  After we left his house, we watched Confessions of  Teenage Drama Queen with Caitee ( seeing as it is her birthday) which was a sucky movie, so dont ever rent it. Only good parts were a) seeing Adam Garcia and hearing his oh-so-cute accent, and b) a neat dance at the end. Not worth the 5 bucks to rent though. so, that was my day.

HIGH POINT: seeing my picture in the Daily News with the other Ay Caramba people. I look like a man, but thats okay because i'm supposed to be one.
LOW POINT:  Having to practice my ass off at Dancing Fool and failing miserably for the most of the morning, and almost spraining my ankle again. The dance is good now, but i was scared for a few hours there.

Expand your mind

The word of today is narc becayse Barbara didnt know what it meant, and I thought that was funny.

 
Narc: A law enforcement officer who deals with narcotics violations.

 
basically, a dirty stinking snitch!

 

 
So, Callium sucks. Majorly. He said he would show up Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday to run our repertoire and he just didnt show up. Seriously, does this guy think we have all summer to practice? we are down to our last two days! all I can say is, he had better show up on Friday, or there will be HELL to pay!

Crash Test

             I was going to post yesterday. I totally was, i swear. I was like, its only 6, I have plenty of time. So i sat down to read a book. Next thing i know, its 11:30 and my mom is asking me why I am sleeping. ( Question: If I was sleeping, how could I answer?)  But thats besides the point. I mumbled something incoherent, flopped over and then went back to sleep until 7 in the morning.  I havent slept that long since i had pneumonia and i slept for practically 8 days straight.  Anyways, thats my excuse. But I figured today i had to post something so that all my friends cant show me up with their intruiging and witty entries. Not that mine is going to be interesting or anything, so dont get your hopes up.
               Ah yes, moving back in time, to Monday night. Party= excellent. Met the "friends", AKA  Glen, Dan, and Co. After dinner at Kelseys, where i treated myself to poutine AND broccolli soup ( hey big spender), we meandered over to Mel's, so conveniently close to me to watch Empire Records, which was cool. I had seen it before, when i was a young un' so i hadnt fully appreciated its awesemity until i saw it the other day. My mom got all pissy though, because i "changed the plan" so i had to come homea t 10. No biggie, cause i was pretty tired anyway, but I just hate letting her get her way, cause then she thinks she can run my life, which I will NOT allow.
             Tuesday:  Now what happened Tuesday? I dont think i even remember, how sad. Went to Copa, worked lots... Oh yeah, after Copa we all tramped out to the bus stop as usual, but we had been let out about 10 minutes early, and it just so happened that it was raining like there was no tomorrow. So we had to wait outside in the POURING rain for 15 minutes for the bus. And this was crazy rain, like, intense rain. That was kind of cool though, because we were all soaked to the brim. But then we had to get on the bus, and bus nazi kind of gave us mean looks. This was all fun though, until we got to Country Club and i found out i had missed my bus, so i had to walk the 25 minutes home, all squelchy and damp. That was sort of gross. Then, we all know what happened when i got home, sleep, blah blah blah.
         Wednesday: Now, i do believe that that was today. Mix of good and bad really. GOOD NEWS! I get to be in the coolest dance ever, Dancin' Fool, which makes me so happy, you have no idea. The reason i'm in it is because Jamie keeps skipping out on Arts alive, and doesnt know his part, so they shoved me in it. This is totally cool, cause i love the dance, but also i mite scary, because i dont KNOW the dance. And i only have 3, well 2 now, to learn it. Hopefully I'm a fast learner. BAD NEW! I had to go the dentist today. Nothing serious, just general unpleasantness.  I have a cavity though, oh well. My mom got angry. Dont know why, theyre my teeth.
           Gotta jet now, i still havent made my sisters B-day card.

Raincheck

I'm...tired. And i have....stuff to do in the...morning. Im going to have to report back to HQ about the goings-on of the p-tay on the morrow. Catch you later.

Aden has magic hands

          Today was pretty cool. The Beginning of the End. The first day of the last week. Thats kind of scary, really, knowing that opening night is only a few days away. I know we'll pull it off, but its a frightening thought nevertheless. So yeah, good day. In the morning i ran the songs with chorus ( dirty stinking children), which was okay, because we dont suck anymore. Not like last week where i wanted to KILL MYSELF! And then i did a lot of lazing about until i danced, and Aden gave us all massages, which were practically orgasmic, let me tell you. Hence, the title. Seriously, that boy should go into the business. And by the that, i do not mean the mafia. Although he is in my Irish Canadian mob. I'm the leader, and my name is Dr.Smooth, and then there is Five Alive (Barbara), H2O ( Laura), Brownie ( spencer), Wheat Crunch ( Gareth), Parle G Biscuit ( Mel) and Green Grape ( Aden). Im pretty sure thats everyone, and if i forgot you, my deepest apologies.
              So tonight is Mel's birthday p-tay, and we are all tramping down to Kelsey's ( the restaurant, not the person) to eat dinner. And I am going to eat myself some poutine, cause it is goddamn delicious. Lucky for me, i actually have some cash at hand, because of that stupid job yesterday.
           Jeez, i really have nothing to say. You think a lot happens to you until you go home and mull it over. Oh well.
 
Sayonara!

Great Odin's raven!

 
             Back from my "night on the town" at the movies.  Great fun, as it were. Saw the Anchorman with Gareth.  Announcement to all of those who get embarrassed with loud people at movie: Do not see anything with Gareth! Im serious, not even dramatic movies, cause i'm sure he'd laugh at those too. With his great big donkey laugh. But I dont care, because I laugh weird and loud too.  Movie was hysterical, if a little..oddballish at times.
 

Brick: " I love...carpet. *pause*  I love....desk."
Ron:  "Brick, are you just seeing things in the office and saying you love them?"
Brick: "I love...lamp."
Ron: "Briiick. Do you really love the lamp?
Brick: i love lamp!!! I love...lamp."
 
Yeah, that was one of my favorite quotes. Truly you would have had to have seen the movie to fully appreciate its cinematic gem...ness. Its late, i dont make sense. Well, its not really late perse, but ive been up since 7 (urgfh).
 
I heard Geoff and Alleah got in a big fight today. About MATURITY of all things. Or perhaps the lack thereof. Seriously, something has got to be done about those kids. Its like a broken record. Were apart, were back together, apart, together, apart, together! Cant you just hear the twangy country heartbreak song oozing  out of their  very pores? I probably shouldnt dwell on it, because they will be angry. But if one of the aforementioned culprits should be reading this... GET A FREAKING CLUE!!!
So, back to Copacabana tomorrow ( joy). Not to say i dont like it, of course its fun, or else why would i do it? Its just so goshdarn stressful. With all those chitlens runnin' wild, and Columns (sp?) reign of terror, its more than anyone should have to handle in their lazy days of summer.  Well, i should be off to bed, to get my *cough* beauty sleep.

T-shirt games

 
 
I made this because of this game we played in Arts alive. I find it funny. You probably will not.

Career Choice # 17

         I have decided it doesnt matter what i do after highschool, as long as it has absolutely NOTHING to do with landscaping. Why, you may ask yourself, is Brianna so vehemently against landscaping, of all things? And yes, oh reader, there is a valid reason.  I have just spent four solid hours pulling weeds, and clipping prickle plants, and raking leaves, and doing all things that 16 year old girls should not be doing at 8 o clock in the morning on their precious Sunday!!! See, the thing is, my condo strata wants to avoid fire hazards on Widgeon, and since we have about 20 years worth of arbutus leaves lying around, a brushfire would be very likely, and very fatal. So, instead of being a conformist and paying the 50 buck fee to get professionals to do it, my mother forced me into it, with a promise of 25 dollars. She acted like I had a choice.
    All i can say is, at least the people were nice. I met some neighbours that i hadnt even seen before, and then this old guy Ernie went out and bought us all drinks ( coolers for them, Coke for me). This was nice, but i did feel a bit weird as the only kid. There was this one woman, Brenda, who knew the Murphy's, which was kinda neat. Small world stories are fun. 
            I was supposed to go to the movies with Gareth this morning, but he thought i meant tonight, so he had to cut out. Were still going tonight, but still. I am going to be so bored all afternoon. Oh wait, i still have to finish those b-day cards for Caitee and Mel. Why are so many freaking people born in July?? Are hormones really that raging in October, or are women more fertile in autumn?? That would be kind of funny actually. There should be one month of the year where it was impossible to ger pregnant. Then if there was some sort of "accident" while having sex, you would still be cool.  Woah, i'm really going off on a tangent. Oh well.
        Thats all i really have to say for now, but later when stuff happens I will probably write again.

Extra Extra!

Have you ever wondered how much easier life would be if everyone could read each others thoughts? Like there was a newspaper on each person every day. you couldnt lie, or keep secrets, or hide feelings. Yeah, people would get hurt, and people would get into some major trouble, but i can see how useful that would be in the long run. For instance, if you liked someone,  they would know right away.  Sure, that could be slightly embarrasing, but you know, less people would go through their lives never telling someone how they feel, only to find out on their death bed that the one they were pining for shares their feelings. Am I feeling sentimental? Sure. Everyone gets that way sometimes.  Maybe its watching Mel and Gareth be so cutesie all the time. Now dont get me wrong, I LOVE Gareth and Mel, and that they are together. Its not like they go carrying on in the hallways at school like SOME people! *cough*. I dont know. Perhaps i should stop scoffing at Lauras intense need for a boyfriend. Then again, it IS late, and I could be just rambling.
           And back on the original subject, i wouldnt have to ask my Dad for money, which i absolutely cant do, because he would already know i wanted it. That would be so helpful. maybe I will become a super scientist and invent that somehow... along with a dream recording machine. Speaking of dreams, i had a weird one last night. The guy i used to like sent me a present and a letter ( for no reason) and a whole bunch of seafood ( which i dont eat) and extra stamps so i could send a letter back. It didnt make much sense, and all i could remember was refusing to open the letter, on grounds i cant explain. I woke up before i read the letter and I will forever be wondering what it said. Does that mean i still like him, even only a little? could be.  who knows. Nothing i can do about it anyways.  Best i just forget.
        That sucks though, needing to forget things. Has that ever happened to you? Where you have to forget or leave behind something you truly cared about? its very unfair. Oh well.  I guess i should scurry on off to bed then. it is sort of late, and I have to get up early tomorrow.
 

Alzheimers

I just realized that today is my stepmothers birthday. I havent spoken to her in 2 years. Should I have called?

I am Neglectorb

So what if i just finished writing my last entry? things can happen in 20 minutes, cant they? Well, dont get your hopes up, nothing is amusing. I just felt bad, is all, and felt the need to express that in a place accessible to most of the world. I was just surfing around on my "favorites" when i decided to check Alleahs blog again, cause i havent for a few days, and a loty of it was about how shes been missing me and stuff. And so of course i was like, crap, i have been completely ignoring my best friend.  So then my train of thought quickly drifted to others that i have just kind of stopped talking to to, whether recently or not. So, at the risk of being lame, here is my list of shoutouts to those i may have been a) ignoring, or b) mean to :
 
Alleah- sorry Pinto, but i HAVE been busy, and then i got mad because you didnt invite me for dinner.
Kourtney- We'll have a big girly sleepover one of these days and ogle guys in movies!
Caitlin- wow, have we ever been hanging with different crowds lately. Oh well, i am always interested to hear about whats going on with you.
Laura B - you know i dont mean to ignore you in arts alive, but being with all those people is like being a kid in a candy store for me.
Sebastian- OKay, so I know you live in Germany, so i cant "talk" to you, but i have forgotten to email too.
Ty- one of these days we will do something fun and NOT video game related!
Geoffrey- Lately it seems i dont really know you anymore, but that can be easily remedied.
Monkey- Since you have been with Carmen, i hardly ever see you anymore!
Soraya- i know we havent chatted much lately, but one of these days i WILL pick up the phone!
 
yeah, so i'm a dork, but i dont really care.

Episode 1: What can i say?

Okay, so maybe i'm a trend whore, but the whole blog idea sounded a little fun. However, Alleah cannot claim that i "stole" her idea, because i had a blog way back when.  That would be March, anyway.  I read Alleahs. interesting concept of the whole awesome-friend thing.  It would get rather tedious for me though, to write 40- odd paragraphs on people, so i think i may refrain, at least until a later date.  I read Geoffs too. Political rantings really arent my style, G-mod, so if you want me to keep reading,  put the kind of stuff that is usually in your diary in it. And hey, now i can comment all i like!
         So, back to today's business. I was going to do something semi-interesting. Called up Nick T this morning, thinking he would of course be waiting for my call and beaver eager to hang out with me, but no. Going to Sarahs, he said. Well, whatever. I dont need you.  So instead, i am chilling on the computer, listening to the Copa soundtrack, and thinking about a painting I want to start. Its based on this dream i had once about a fictitious country called Toltecca that was half medievel and half modern. I have absolutely no clue when i will get around to doing it though.  Believe it or not, i have a social engagement later this afternoon. Some people are coming over, the theatre crowd mainly, to sit in a circle and laugh til we die. Sound fun? well, it is.  Seriously, if you locked me and Sarah W in a room, and came back three hours later, you would find that we had seized up and died, because we had laughed ourselves into an early grave. You should have seen us yesterday, we were attempting to chug this giant bottle of sparkling lemonade, and almost threw up because of it. Not because we drank so much ( the amount itself was pitiful), but because we started pointing at our stomachs and then laughing, and then choking. Dont ask me why, you had to have been there. 
           Last night was actually really fun.  Some people im not used to hanging out with were there, like Lauren, Laura M, Spencer, and Aden, but we had a grand time anyway. If only my mother wasnt such a freak. She said i could only stay for like, three hours, even though all the girls were sleeping over. It was so unfair! But when i was there we played LCD, and Laura M got a career as an organ grinder Monkey, but she thought that meant a Monkey, who physically grinds internal organs, so you can imagine how that would have gotten twisted by the end. And of course everyone applauded my superior mime skills.
        So, now i must go and conclude my first entry. For i have to clean out the shoe closet, no foolin. Glorg, i hate chores.
