Go Awesome squad!

Yeah, you heard it here first, kids. Awesome squad, the newest craz since pogs. Not really. Ive just been hanging out with some different kids in the "crew"and like them lots, so I decided to make a special group, sorta like Collective. The awesome squad at the moment consists of me, Gareth, Martha, Kevin, Stefanie, Glenn, and Megs. Its so great. Laura and Alleah are all, we want to be in awesome sqaud! but I was like, no way!

Oh, I suppose I should backtrack a tiny bit.

Friday was my supercool birthday party of uber excellence and awesemity! After the 8 zillion hours of full costumes MuTh,( in which Alleah freaked at me because SHE didnt bring a costume, go figure) I went home to get ready to Boston pizza, which just so happened to be the BEST BIRTHDAY I EVER HAD!!! Seriously, my friends are like, the best and coolest and most awesome friends in the world!!! and I even got presents! I was actually shocked! Anyways, party was the most fun thing since anything, and the Waitresses loved us a lot too! Then lots of us went back to my house to Wacth Shrek 2 and have fun. ALl except Alleah and Sean of course, who went up to my attic, which made me really mad, because I could have invited 2 people who actually WANTED to be there.

Anyways, then all my girlfriends except for MEL MY REAL FRIEND ditched me and didnt sleep over.

Saturday was awesome because I went shopping!!!i bought toooons of stuff, because I get easily distracted by sparkly objects, and things. Spent around 100 dollars, but I also bought Talissa's b-day present with that (which she loooved)

so.. some other boring things happened that I dont feel like elaborating on at the moment.

hmm..What day is it today??

Oh,thats right, its my BIRTHDAY!!

in other news, im 17.

bow down before your queen of the day.

SO, I had a pretty good day today. I woke up to a hot shower and presents. Only my moms actualy. because mmy other presents have been scattered over the course of the week. She got me the Disney purse I wanted sooo badly. I never thought I could get so worked up over a purse, but I was wrong. She even got me the matching wallet! I was so happy.. Also Tricksters Queen, the new book in a miniseries ive been DYING to read. Also Nicola will be happy, because she gets to borrow it when im done. I also got a set of amazing paintbrushes that I absolutely cant WAIT to break in, and some blending sticks for sketching. my mom also made my lunch, and put pleasant birthday notes on the paper bag.

I got to school around 8:15 and was mauled my Muriem, which was cool, because she wished me happy birthday, but to my disappointment, my locker was NOT decorated as was promised to me by Alleah in October. Shame on you Alleah.

Day was good, normal boring school stuff however. Jazz choir=fun, as always.

gareth was in a bad mood all day and then I felt bad because I was so happy.

MuTh = EXCELLENCE!! many happy birthdays from everyone, 17 birthday "humps"from Glenn, which was highly disturbing, and a surprise box of Purdy's hedgehogs from Timothy! Love you TImothy! You made my day! and the entire cast singing happy birthday on the stage while being squeezed to death by Glenn ( again) and also multiple group hugs with me being suffocated in the middle, which i enjoyed.

I got picked up after MuTh and i went home and got another PRESENT from my sister Caitee. I got a MUsic Man record ( so cool), and an extra N64 controller, which was also great!

we ate dinner, (POUTINE!!!) and cake, but then I had to do some homework, which I did while [loudly] singing to my new record. Yay.

anyways, great day, and absolutely cant wait until Friday, which will be 8 trillion times more cool.

*Happiness*

Yes, I am ultimo happy today! Well, mostly my day was boring, but my dad called this morning, like usual, and said he moved to Powell River!!! Initial reaction: Why Powell River, of all places?? But then I realized that means he is only about 2 hours away, which is a hell of a lot closer than the 16 hours to Edmonton!!! I am pretty excited, because He said he was going to come to Bye Bye Birdie for the weekend show, and then we could do something after!! yaaaay!! And then he said in March his Cousins uncle, or something was having a birthday party ( hes turning 80) and he wanted to know if I could come out and sing with Laura and Alleah!! We would stay over there, and play with Panzer, my dads German Shepard, and have fun!! Sounds AWESOME!! That was my ultragood news of the day! Also, all of my friends can finally meet my dad!

In other news, its only 3 days til my birthday!!


YIPPEE!!!

Blogging for Tim, because he is bored

Tim, you are such the blog slavedriver. You will be sadly disappointed if you were expecting something wild and wonderful out of this post.

Wednesday night was the first day of my nice long weekend, and I did absolutely nothing to the best of my recollection. Yeah, i'm just that cool. GOod thing I got a couple books out of the school library beforehand or else I'd have been mighty bored. So, Thursday in the day I went to Chapters with my mom ( I had to bribe her with Starbucks :P) to look around, and there were in fact some books I wanted, but they were all in hardcover, and I wasnt too willing to spend all my money the first day. Although now that ive thought about it, Im going to go back and buy one. Then I went to Michaels, which made me SO HAPPY because the prospect of art/buying things is always pleasing. I bought some mroe origami paper because I was out, and then a new SKETCHBOOK and some real ARTISTS PENCILS and I nearly died! Ive never had real sketching pencils before.... *orgasm*'

anyways, Then I went to rent some movies because Laura and Mel were supposed to come over. Originally they were supposed to come in the late afternoon and stay til evening, but then they were like, oh wait, we cant, which made me kind of mad. Laura said she would come at 7, but didnt end up showing up until 9, which also made me mad. Oh well. After Panto, Mel came and brought Sarah, which was nice. We watched Grease 2 ( which was terrible and Stellar) and sang and danced and mocked to our hearts content, while eating mandarins. Around 12 we went up to my room and talked for a bit before going to bed, but I couldnt get to sleep until 2:30 because of Sarahs incessant snoring! I wonder if she was dreaming of musketeers...

oh, I also did a portrait of a refugee in a national Geographic magazine, which looked better when I was drawing it, and then ended up kind of sucky.

Friday morning we went to MuTh rehearsal, where I actually had a good time because I could finally sing properly again ( JOY!) and we actually sounded pretty good as a group!! Plus, the quartet wasnt half bad either!! I was going to go out for lunch with some people in between our groups being needed, but it turned out we didnt have time, so me and Mel walked to Subway after. I discovered all of their prices went up, grrr. Then, we took the bus home.

Friday night was Spencers get together, which actually turned out to be quite a lot of fun. There were a lot of little ones off to the side, but we just ignored them. I dont think there was anything particularily notable about the get together, it was just a general good time.

I also drew a portrait of the PRETTIEST BOY IN THE WORLD which I found in a magazine. Sadly, his portrait is less pretty.

Today is Saturday, and I went out to Value Village with Laura and her mom to get our costumes for Bye Bye birdie, which started out fun, but then Laura felt the need to try on every item in the store ( this may be because of her mothers prompting). But, for some reason, that store wasnt good enough and we had to go to another. It was kind of boring, but at least i got my costume. I got home around five and then did a lot of nothing until now.

org, I just remembered I am supposed to be doing homework because I have a huge assignment due/test on Monday in Biology. Oh darn.

X

Why must everything SUCK all the time????? Seriously, its like I just cant catch a break, ever. I was soo sick for such a long time, and it was terrible. In fact, I am still coughing and hacking so much that my entire body convulses and my throat is raw. I hate it. And i had to sing in the stupid remembrance day assembly today, which was AWFUL! I was awful, and nobody could hear me because I wasnt loud... I was so sad..
Money is not good in my house right about now, and Im not exactly sure whats going to happen. So, naturally, my mom is all worried, which makes her snap at me for no reason. I got in trouble for something i didnt even do yesterday!!
jeex.. Okay, maybe it sounds like nothing, but I am just NOT in a good way right now. Tims pretty bad too at the moment actually. We had a nice big conversation about it today. I just wish him and laura wouldnt FACE all the time in my presence. Like, really kids, unseemly conduct.

Today is the start of an uber long weekend, which is good, because I could use some time to rest and try to become unsick. Tomorrow I think im going to rent movies with Mel and Laura, and I hope that pans out because I really want to. Friday I have to go to MuTh rehearsals, which for some reason I am totally not looking forward to. Friday night Im supposed to go to Spencers house, but Im not entirely sure if I can. Oh well.

SO thats it for now. Nothing interesting ever happens to me, or anything.

so sorry to disappoint.

It has come to my attention that Andy MacDowell has a giant rectangular head.

That said, I had a good weekend, despite not being able to breathe out of select orifices. Friday night was all blah and stuff because my mom wouldnt let me go over to Caitlins house. That made me sad because I havent hung out with Caitlin and Nicola in EVER. Well, except biology which doesnt count at all because I am sooo dull in biology. I dont even know why Caitlin sits beside me in that class, Im so boring.

Saturday morning my mom left at like, 6 i nthe morning to go to Vancouver and for some reason she felt the need to nudge me awake until i groaned recognition, and then she proceeded to have a 5 minute conversation with me in which I mumbled a lot and flipped onto my face. Satruday I did a whole lot of nothing, for a very long time. Laura was SUPPOSED to be home at 4, so she could call me and i could come over and be not home alone, but she didnt get home til 5:15, so I had to walk there in the dark. Ah well. I got there, and we were going to practice singing, but Alleah ( being Alleah) did not show up. sooo, we started without her. Unfortunately, Lauras mom had company over ( including a small child of sorts) so we didnt want to sing in the living room. Normally, we dont care, but sounding as disgusting as we did, we thought it better to sing elsewhere. We got through part of one song using the keyboard in Lauras room before we just gave up entirely and started watching Godsend while eating a GIANT POMEGRANATE! WE werent watching the movie at all, however, and were just chatting instead when the phone rang.

It was TIm, of course, because he cant be away from Lauras voice for more than 8 seconds without spontaneously combusting.
Aaanyways, Tim wanted us to go over to his place and hang out, because he is only half grounded, or some such nonsense. SO, sooner or later, i put on my touque ( oh yes, my touque) and headed out to the bus. We walked all the way to Country Club to catch the number 2, and had a pleasant bus ride and good conversations. We got there, and were 2 out of four invited, the others being Victor and Ge-off. Also his little sister ( who is cool) hung out with us but somehow I doubt she was formally invited. We had a great time, but I couldnt help wishing that someone else was there...
uuuh, yeah, moving on, we had a good time, doing nothing in particular, just hanging out and laughing and such. ooh, Highlight of my day, Laura getting a sex talk from Tims mom. Me and Tim attempted to eavesdrop, but TIm is half deaf and i fidget so it was hard to hear. We went home around 11:30, and when we got backto Lauras house both Mel and Alleah were there, so we had a girly gossip session, in which I was "liked" by both Mel and Alleah because I was sick and somehow more fun. I dont get them either. However, they took advantage of my weakened sickly state and beat me. How unfun. I swear I will have a bruise where Melody bit me on the arm. I tried to wriggle away, but couldnt manage, partly for laughing so hard. Around 1 or 2, we all just kind of collapsed in a pile on the futon with my snorting all the time. Laura left for her bed, but me and the other two just slept where we were, no pyjamas or anything.

We got up around 9 or 10, and lazed about and ate some brunchness. Sooner or later we all got ready and went to go to the mall, without Alleah though, because she realized she had panto. We went to that giant dollar store beside Canadian Tire, and then went for coffee at Starbucks. I had raspberry hot chocolate, but was really sad when I discovered I couldnt taste much. Mel bought me a present at Chapters for my birthday that I picked out and I was happy. Then Mel had to go home, so we walked her over to where her dad was picking her up. Then me and Laura went to Walmart to drop off her 8 zillion rolls of film ( laura is such a gimp she didnt know how to get film developed, and I laughed) and also bought fun underwear. Then we went to Winners where I bought a sweater. After that we wandered around the mall for a while, and decided maybe we should go look for Tim at workto see if he could take a break and hang out with us. Unfortunately, we are stupid asses and couldnt find the store. laura was all for finding a directory, but I was like, no way, those are for tourists. So I stood and looked uncomfortable while Laura went to find Marks Work Warehouse on the map. Then, who should show up and poke me in the side but Timothy himself! turns out we were like, 30 feet away from the store and were totally blind.He saw us walk by and went out for his break. We went for lunch at NEw York Fries and talked for a while, but then Tim had to go back to work, so he left and we picked up our film and looked for 10 minutes to find a couch to sit on. We finally found one, and looked at awesome pictures of The Princess party, the Pirate party, and the miraculous birth of the collective (haha). Theeeen, we caught the bus home. My house was boring and I had to do chores, and * cough* study for my History midterm. I am a slacker and Laura will eat my eyes, but whatever. So thats it, my weekend in a nutshell. Alleah will be proud of my blogging stamina.

Saturday, my Saviour

So the past couple of days have passed by in a sicky blur. I dont understand why I STILL feel this bad, but oh well. Maybe tis because I had to RUN TO SCHOOL ON THURSDAY! Yeah, i had a midterm scheduled for first block because I missed I missed it Tuesday, so I didnt get to sleep in on my spare like usual. My mom said she would drive me because I'm still sick, so at around 8:20 we go to the car. My mom then realizes she accidentaly left her car door open a bit the night before, and her car battery had completely died. So, I had to practically ru nto school so I wouldnt be late for my midterm. Also the buttons had fallen off my coat so I was cold.

So the rest of the day was okay, I guess. I dont exactly recall. After school we had choir, and I told myself I wasnt going to sing, but I am stupid and did anyways. I had a good reason though! I reaaaallly need the practice on The Prayer, because I havent learned it very well, and the concert is on Wednesday. Thursday night I did all of my Vocab words for History, which takes a lot longer than you would think.

Friday...was long. I forgot to study my vocab words but got 100 on the quiz anyways. uummm.. MuTh was really boring because everyone was yelling directions at us and I had to be in this scene that they hadnt really blocked and I didnt know what to do, and then I had to sing really loud, which hurt a lot. Practice ended at 4:30, which sucked for me because my mom was picking me up at 5, so I had to wait around for a half hour. Friday night my mom went to this dinner so I was home alone with the ghost she claims is in my house. Joy. I didnt do much except clean my room and draw pictures for the Writers Block. my mom said she'd be home at 9, but she soo didnt come home until 12, when I was already in bed.

So, today I am supposed to go over to Lauras to sing with her and Alleah, and then sleep over, and go shopping on Sunday, but I think I''m going to ask if we can switch those two events around, because my voice is absolutely crap today. I dont think I could sing higher than like, an A or something. Plus, one of me ears is plugged up, which will throw off my tuning. This sucks.

You know youre crazy when...

Seriously, i'm a grade-A crackerjack. I was sitting on the couch watching my cat ( I dont know why) And I was thinkgin, "if they made costumes for cats, I would make bailey the cowardly Lion." And then I like,got all into it and was like, "And i would make Charlie a 20's Chicago gangster."


And that, my friends, is what we call a new low.

SO I got up this morning. Dragged myself out of bed in my weakened stupor, and got ready while looking, and generally being, disgusting. Went to school and was of no use to anyone. I sat in Writing spouting incoherent nonsense while guzzling down tea and looking cross. Not pleasant for anyone. Of course, Mr Warren felt the need to mock me, as do all male teachers, God knows why. The rest of the day was dull and nothing.
My mom wouldnt even let me go to MuTh, I was soo sad. Everyone said they missed me though ( yay). Laura got a line and I was envious. Oh well. So I mostly sat at home and did nothing for a while. Except read princess diaries 3, write an online survey, and watch the bachelor.

aaaaand thats it. See yo uall tomorrow~!
