Brianna wins 'em all

Is this the documentation of the adventures of the great and mysterious ( and often hilarious) Dr Smooth? Or just the incessant ramblings of the 19 year old drama queen Brianna Akins? only a true mastermind can decipher the truth!

Bloggo-neglectorb-omatic

yeah, you heard me. I so am the neclegtorb though, seeing as I havent written anything since Saturday morning. I will do my best to catch up, even though I should be running off to bed like a good little girl. However, who ever said i was good? Pfft, nevermind that, I am good. And i dont mean that in the egotistical sense. Aaaaanyway, Saturday afternoon I went to Gators house to sing some stuff, which was uber excellent. We finished learning When I Fall in Love, which should be Alleahs theme song, because its true "When I give my heart, it will be completely". Seriously, she does. Not that that is neccessarily a bad thing, sometimes that could be nice... ah, off topic. SO yeah, we learned that, and then because I am obsessed with Christmas ( yes, even in September) we learned Carol of the Bells, which is the christmas song from HELL but so cool. And then, on a whim, we sung every single song in our repertoire, which is about 19, just for the hell of it. It was quite amazing, because we remembered all of our parts, even from songs we havent sung in a year. So that was cool. I have absolutely no recollection of what I did Saturday night, so I'm just going to assume I stayed home drawing and watching a movie with my mother. So Im a dork, whatcha gonna do about it?

Sunday.. Sunday sunday... Oh yeah, did a lot of nothing all day long until 6:30 when I went over to Lauras house for the pirate p-tay. I dressed up so awesome too. I had my black capris, a frilly white shirt, a black and gold sash thing, a big gold hoop earring, an eye patch, and my sword. I twas so great. So I got there at 6:30 abd Tim was already there, all decked out in pirate garb, drinking tea with the family. We chatted for a few minutes, and I have no idea how the conversation got onto babies, but somehow or another, Lauras mom managed to break out the baby pictures, to my great amusement. Sooner or later, other people managed to arrive, most dressed to the nines in p-rate gear. The whole party was really fun, and everyone ahd a great time. I spent some time hanging out with Aden, which was nice, because he reminded me of summer, and how it used to be. Im feeling slightly nostalgic, if only for a month ago. Sometime during the evening, me and Gareth dragged Tim to the "conversation room" to see what he was going to do about Laura ( for all those uninformed, they like each other) and he said he was going to ask her out, so I was pleased. Another job well done to Brianna Akins. Rose was being antisocial, for some unknown reason, and Barbara and llowyn are cute. I cant really think of any other grounbreaking events from the evening.. so I suppose I'll just move on. I slept over, along with Lauren, Mel, and Alleah, and me and Mel and Lauren ended up sleeping on the futon, which was fun, because we stayed up late chatting. I got up at 9, and left around 12 to go home and ( ick) clean my room and do my homework. But, because i am a horrible slacker, didnt do much of it.

So we all know Monday sucked, for various reasons. I bombed my huge History test, forgot to hand in my writing assignment, was really tired all day, and forgot my lunch. There are other reasons it was bad, but Im not so into discussing those..

Today was cool. I had a headache in the morning, so I didnt go to school, and my mom drove me at lunch. I went to Carlton Cards in my spare because everything was 90% off!! I was in heaven.. cards EVERYWHERE!!! Then I went to Musical theatre, where Tim and his brother Marcus took us on a tour of the school. I had never met Marcus before, but he seems really nice. He let me wear his sweater because I was cold. boys ALWAYS let me wear their sweaters, mahaaha. After MuTh Mel came over to my house, which was fun, because we ate dinner, scared Dan on msn, made a band, learned all the words to Rasputin, and watched the Bachelor. Great fun. So thats pretty much it, and were all caught up.

Today sucked, and thats all you need to know.

Saturday, September 25, 2004

Thats because you are a fool. Shall we dance??

Yeah, I know thats a weird blog title, but its just something I said yesterday to Laura and Gareth, and I liked the sound of it. Yesterday ( Friday) was such the long day. I didnt end up coming home until 11:30 for various reasons. So, Friday morning I got up bright and early as usual, and went off to school. We had a boring assembly in first block, all about Capp 12, and the stuff we can do to get our hours. Turns out I can use Arts Alive, woot! History was suprisingly fun that day too. All we did was have a really big discussion on communism, and all of the holes the theory has. Yeah, sounds yawntastic, but it was great fun! hmm.. what else... Oh yeah, in our spare, me and Gareth went to the dollar store in Country club and bought pirate hats, and he bought a tacky green plastic sword. Bio was different and cool, becuase Madura was my lab partner, and i barely ever speak to her, but we were laughing practically the whole time! All the while getting our work done as well. I still wish I was in Nicole and Megs' bio class though.
Musical theatre was after school, which was good and stuff, but we kept doing Honestly Sincere for like, 2 HOURS!! i almost died of boredom. I mean, I like the dance, but really. After that, Me, Gareth, Alleah, Sean, and Laura went over to Rosies house, but me and Gareth took the bus because my back had this crazy spasm attack and i didnt think I could walk 45 minutes carrying my 50 pound backpack. It STILL hurts today, you know. Thats probably bad. We tried on our costumes, and they are going to be SUPER EXCELLENT!! Mine wa a little tight, but whatever. It will still be great. Then we ordered pizza and watched an HBO show called Dead Like Me, which my sister watches actually. My mom picked my up around 9, and we went to see The Forgotten with Caitee and Ian. It was pretty good, but by the end I was exhausted. As you know, i got home around 11:30, and just crashed.
So today, im going to go over to Gators place to do some singing. Should be fun. Yikes! I was supposed to leave 10 minutes ago!

I have nothing to say

yeah seriously, nothing interesting ever happens to me. Basically I went to some classes, learned some stuff, and then went to choir. How much does that suck? I was going to go to Geoffs house after, but then there was some confusion and I ended up just going home. I was slightly melancholy on the walk home, because theres this guy in choir, Lorenz, whos a german exchange guy that keeps reminding me of Sebastian. I mean, I know he left like, 3 months ago, but i've been thinking about him a bit lately, and It makes me sad.

Current Music: Rasputin - Boney M
Current Thought: How did Russian peasants actually think communism would work?
Current Mood: Thoughtful, with a little bit of dreary.

I Have No heart

Or so this random quiz says

you are a scrooge when it comes to love
Quiz By Lady Paje


Yeah whatever, Down With Love.


Anyways, yesterday was Tuesday, and choir was cool. We started learning I'll Be Home For Christmas and I nearly DIED!! yeah, I love that song more than I love you. Whoever you may be. Today ( Wednesday) Was the slowest day of ALL TIME! Good news, I got 98 on my bio test, which is fairly cool, if you think bio is cool. Musical Theatre was definitely the highlight. I got all insano-hyper ( no Dover kids, im not like that ALL the time!) probably because i was so bored all day. We pretty much just sang a lot, which was fine by me. I do love the singing. I was sad though later because i missed my bus from country bluc and had to walk the 20 minutes home. Which isnt alot, but its the suck when youre tired. Oh, and Gareth was acting weird all day. I think me and him have just spent too much time together lately, seeing as our schedule in school and out is basically the same, so im going to just distance myself for a while and see if he goes back to normal.

current music: : Thoughts of a Dying Atheist, by Muse
current thoughts: I wish supper would be ready ( i am starving)
current mood: excited ( about Pirate p-tay) but also tired.

Back, as far as i know.

So maybe i'm already getting used to this oodles of homework thing, because i seem to be managing to find myself with a bit of free time. So, I will attempt to go over the past.. i think its 6 days? Jeex, how am I supposed to remember that far back??? Well, I can at least start with Friday, my memory can handle that, i think. After a glorious day at school ( thats right, it was actually good) I was in a stellar mood. Lunch was cool, i laughed a lot. At what, for the life of me I couldnt tell ya. And then writing class started dull but turned into me, Gareth, Laura, and Chris being weird and finishing that b-day card for katie. ( My BalOOOooNNnnSSS!!!) Which was tons o'fun. Then, musical theatre was excellent, as per usual. I dont remember what happened, probably just more working on Honestly Sincere, the longest dance in the HISTORY OF THE WORLD! Oh yeah, i hung out with Megs and Tim lots, which was cool, and they will be my new awesome friends. I switched to Tenor section in Hymn For a Sunday Evening, because they were majorly lacking in everything. Megan did too, and now we have a great Tenor dance of awesemity. NO BOYS ALLOWED mahahah. yeah, i'm a jerk, whatcha gonna do about it?
erm, anyways, My mom picked up me and the girls at five, and drove us to Katies apartment, where we had to wait 15 minutes for Katie to come out of her room because Sasja and Sarah were "transforming" her ( their words, not mine). The p-tay was okay, kinda dull for a while, until Katie brought out DDR ( dance dance revolution) And I played for abotu a solid hour. I totally kicked Jesses ASS which he wasnt too pleased about, but I was all high on sugar and endorphins. So yeah, I rock at that game. But then my legs started hurting like mad fools, which wasnt so cool. We started watching Donnie Darko too, which was an awesomely superb movie, but my mom came to pick me up at 11, so I missed like, the last 15 minutes. one day I will just watch the end by myself.
Saturday was dull for the most part. I did chores in the morning, then went out to eat lunch with my mom, which started off cool, because we gossiped about my friends, but the service and food totally sucked. After I ran some errands and was bored, but around 6:30, i went to Lauras place with my mom and ate dinner there. Then our mothers went out to this drag show downtown, and we painted acrylic tatoos on each other, sang Somebody to Love really loudly, rented Hercules and loved it, and then made up a dance to Hysteria, by Muse. Then our moms came back and we just sat in the livining room talking til 2 in the morning. A thoroughly enjoyable evening, I thought. I mean, were the dorkiest 16 year olds in existance, but whatever. So Sunday i did some homework, and then got film developed (wooHOO) and bought two Muse cds ( double wooHOO) and then saw Wimbledon with laura, Mel,and Caitlin. I liked it a lot. I am ashamed.
So, today is Monday and now were mostly caught up. Today was DULL! For lack of a better word, DULL! I couldnt wait for History to be over, and Writing and Bio werent far behind in that category. My spare was cool though, because me and Gareth went over to Dover early, and hung out with Dan. Shane was there sort of, but didnt really hang out with us. I dont think he likes me very much. Well, whatever. Dan put on a strobe light and turned off the lights, and we played Aqua and had our own rave. It was supercool. In a not cool at all kinda way. And then Jen ( stage manager Jen) came in even though she was sick and we watched part of Anastasia, while chastising Dan and Gareth for making fun of it. Musical theatre went on as usual, fun as always. Then i came home, and DIDNT study for my bio test tomorrow. Laura came over and we watched Anastasia.

Oh, and me and Gareth decided I was Tsar Nicholas II in a past life.

*snap!* and you're different

Yeah, ive been a bitch lately. A grade A, sarcastic, pain in the ass bitch. And you know what? I'm not even sorry. For once in my life ive been mean and mad, and antisocial, and I dont even care what anyone thinks of it. Alleah thinks I''m an asshole, but whatever. I just dont care about her insane yammerings of her "boyfriend"who she says shes falling in love with which is complete Bollocks! I bet she thinks im jealous too. As if. Love is for suckers.

On another note, I had a great weekend. And ive been in a great mood since Friday, so dont be afraid to talk to me this week. I wont ACTUALLY bite your head off.

Hiatus

Sorry about the whole no posting thing, but i have been more stressed and busy than I would like to be, and almost had a nervoud breakdown this afternoon because of my workload! So yeah, probably wont make a real post til the weekend.

Saturday, September 11, 2004

Meep...

I am a little frightened at the moment. I am alone in a strange house that suddenly seems scary now that it is nighttime. And not even the soft and dulcet tones of " Blackout" by Muse can console me. I wish I wasnt alone... but I am. In both the short term and long term senses of the word. Oh well.. I guess I'll just leave the light on hide under the covers.

Its funny when you think yourself brave, and then turn into your 5 year old self at the prospect of things scary. Truly I am a child.

Heaven, I'm in heaven!

Yeah, thats what this house is like. For all those uninformed, I'm staying at my neighbours house all weekend to look after their two ( adorable) cats, who supposedly make a lot of messes, but I havent seen any yet. This house is freaking magnificent. The whole entire thing is beautifully decorated with amazing taste, and is like staying in a resort. Plus, i get to live alone for the whole weekend! ANd they have all the entertainment things I need to survive. Such as msn, and sattelite, and 8 million DVDS. Im so happy.. plus, im prettys ure i get paid for this, but even if i dont, i dont care at all. So last night Mel came over to watch a movie with me so I wouldnt be scared in the house all alone, and we had a good time. She was talking about her lack of love life, which sounds pretty sad, but not as sad as mine! And then we made a genius plan.. which al lyou girls will find out about oN Monday. So yah, i have to go home today for a little bit to eat and stuff, but then its back to paradise!

What Brianna Did There

Today was my second day of school. School is dull. Ultra dull. These are the things that happened yesterday:

  • I woke up at a disgusting hour ( 7) and got ready in record time. I even made my bed. Then, because i am lazy, walked down the hill to catch the bus.
  • Went to writing class, which is going to be tres awesome, I can tell. Unfortunately, I am already developing writers block, due to the fact I am boring, stupid, and untalented.
  • Went to History, which has great people in it. Already got homework.
  • Scared some normals with Gareth. It seems this happens often.
  • Made a new lunch spot with the Collective.
  • Went to Drama, unfortunately, and completely ignored ratface ( maHA) Got to tell her I am NEVER EVER TAKING DRAMA WITH HER AGAIN and am going to supercool Dover for it. Sweet sweet retribution.
  • Went to Bio, have Caitlin as a lab partner ( huzzah!) and talked to Stevo while they ate piles of watermelon.
  • Attempted to find Alleah after school but couldnt, so took the bus with Laura and Gareth to Dover. Got there and was centre of attention with them for 3.5 seconds.
  • Made two new friends on the bus ride home, Jen and Colby, who are really fun.
  • came home, ate dinner, did homework, and then went on tour of BEAUTIFUL HOUSE that I am staying alone in all weekend to catsit. And im getting PAID for it! WOOT!

Today was ultra boring. I went to classes and did stuff. Then I came home and did nothing. Soon I will finish my homework. School has already polished my brain into a big shiny ball of fluff.

Tuesday, September 07, 2004

Back to school..

Today was my first day of school, although we dont actually do anything. We all went at 11 to sit in our homeroom and get our schedule, and various other unimportant papers. I had forgotten how many people I dislike at my school. It comes of spending so much time with Dover/ Barsby people. And you know, having the BEST SUMMER EVER! but oh well. I got my timetable, and it is as follows;

First Semester

A: History 12 - Mr. Tarwitz
B: Writing 12 - Mr. Warren
C: Biology 12 - Ms. Mcrory
D: Acting 12 - Ratface

lucky for me, I am applying for a spare in D block, and wont actually have to deal with Tinnion EVER.

Second Semester

A: English 12 - Ms. Stewart
B: Art 12 - Ms. West
C: Film and TV - Mrs. Carolsfeld
D: Comparative Civ. - Mr. Arruda

That semester is going to be like heaven compared to the first. Onlybecause its easy though.

Homeroom was interesting, because me and Gareth seemes segregated from everyone. Im not even kidding, we were scaring the normals. I guess we cant be normal us when were at school anymore. After "school" Collective went to Lauras and ahd a good time.

that was cut short because my dinner is ready.

Abnormally Normal

I realized today how totally normal my life has become. And I mean normal in the way that isnt actually the majority of people, but is still what society wants you to believe is the "norm". Yeah, I mean, since my sister has moved out my house has been relatively clean, and organized. We eat dinner every night, which hasnt happened in years, and then I do the dishes, evenings are pleasant, and me and my mother coexist peacefully. My room is tidy, and all of my clothes are either hung up in my closet or in my laundry basket. My bed is made every morning, and things are out away. Okay, so that is day to day stuff which should already be done, so maybe its not that strange. but then I thought about the bigger stuff too. Like, I look nice pretty much every day, with good outfits and makeup, i have a great social life, and extracurricular activites up the wazoo. Doesnt anybody else think this is WEIRD??? Its like, dysfunctional at its best has decided to have a mid life crisis and turn average. Maybe im paranoid. I dont know, i kind of like it.


In other news, school starts tomorrow. I'm not too jazzed about that, but oh well. I'm completely prepared.

I went minigolfing today. My mom woke me up at 8 to take out the garbage, and told me I couldnt go back to sleep. Then she asked if I wanted to go minigolfing. I said no. She asked me again, and I said only if you let me sleep more. So she did. I got up around 9:30, jumped in the shower, finished getting ready and left at 10:30 to pick up Caitee at Ians place. Had a normal family outing day. Minigolfing in Parksville, lunch at the beach inQualicum, then farmers market shopping in Coombs. I wanted pomegranates. They had none. Got home around 2, and lazed about until my mom got off the computer. I still have to go out again to feed Lauras dogs though, which Ive been doing for the past few days.


And no Barbara, I am not going to elaborate on the happenings of Saturday night/ early Sunday morning. Everybody who neds to know was there,and doesnt need to hear it again.

Sunday, September 05, 2004

Yeah...

So, last night I went to Barbara's house. It was fun. Other people were there. And then I slept over.

... and thats it.


yes.

Friday, September 03, 2004

wooHOO!

Hey, party tonight! yeah, Brads birthday is today, so he's having a p-tay at his house. I have no idea whos all invited, but I know that Barb and Alleah are going, and Gareth is coming after he goes to Kelseys b-day at the Hong Kong house. I bet this shindig will be fun tonight. At least, it better be. Well, in any case, I'll be hanging out with buds, so it'll be cool. And by the way, I can go to Barbaras get together tomorrow night, for all those people involved. And I get to sleep over too. Yay!

So, what did I do today. I went to the movies with my mom, and saw Without a Paddle. It was suprisingly funny, actually. And then i went to feed Lauras dogs ( yes, she left a key this time) and I did a nice piece of spywork, discovering the convo between her and Llowyn from last night. kudos to me.

Also, I feel compelled to mention these crazy people form Vancouver that Alleah discovered. Well, ones from Richmond. What would you call people from Richmond? Richmondites? I rather like Richmondonians, but i dont think thats it. Ah well. Anyways, they are pretty cool, for not living on the island. And we are, quote, "amusing them" . Like trained monkeys! Monkeys I say! Ah, dont mind me, i'm a little whacko. So yeah, I will continue to socialize with them.

Thursday, September 02, 2004

Message to Caitee

Um, please dont read my blog and then tell Mom about it, because she got mad and wont buy me shoes. In fact, dont read it at all.
