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!

Days go by..

So yeah, got a job at NCO. Its kinda lame. They pay pretty decently, and you dont do anything in training, its crazy easy... but I have to get up at 4:o0 in the morning, cause I work at 5 :S

I really didnt want to have to work there.

BUT today I have an interview at Coyotes cafe on Stewart!! So hopefully I get that job instead!

Death to capitalism! La Vie Boheme!!!!

in other news, last weekend was great! Alleahs party on friday was funk, and I got totally smashed, for the first time in a while. All in good fun.

Saturday I got to take Stephen clothes shopping for his birthday!!! I ended up spending more than originally anticipated, but it was okay because Stephen was so happy! I bought Cora and Lauras b-day presents too. That night I went to Tims to hang out with some people.

SUnday I went to the lake with the guys, and then we went to Geoffs for a BBQ made all by ourselves. After dinner ( and pie!) we went downstairs and sang jazz songs. It was awesome.

the Biggest of big news?? MIke is going to be here in September :) :)

More Than I Bargained For

okay, update update update!!

Im not going to detail my whole Vancouver trip,because it would take about 8 zillion years.
Suffice to say, Franz Ferdinand was super stellar, and also, i met a boy. We had a very awesome couple of days. Hes so much like me, its freaky. And everything was very cute, and very fantastic.. until he had to go back home to Winnipeg.

He left on the friday, i came home on the Saturday. I'd like to say everything was back to normal, and while it was a fun couple of days, it was all in the past. But it so so wasnt. I spent the entire day moping about. and yes, I know youre probably thinking how unlike me that is. And its TRUE. I am so not the pining sort of girl! And I seriously never thought that would happen.

So I got in Saturday evening, and I just wanted to sit at home and feel sorry for myself, but that got old quick, so I put on a dress, and made myself look all pretty to go to Barbaras pseudo prom party! Turns out Barbara is not the sharpest at on the fly get togethers. Almost no one came dressed up, so I kiiind of looked like a freak. But thats okay. we had fun anyways! first they forced me to play Clue however... and I bet you didnt know someone could ACTUALLY be horrendous at Clue! but that would be me. I left pretty early, cause I didnt feel like socializing anymore, and went to bed.

Sunday my mom woke me up to get ready, and drive to Victoria. This is usually super fun, because me and my moms only bonding time is driving in a car singing atr the top of our lungs and dancing at strangers. However, driving = thinking time. NOT what I needed. oh well, Spent the day in Victoria with my mom and sis, walked the dog, went out for Thai, and then my mom decided it would be super fun to streak my hair blonde. I went along with it, for something to do.. I dont like it very much. But, everyone else seems to, so okay.

Monday I went to the dentist... uh.. that was lame. And then I went to see Ice Age 2 with Aden.

Tuesday I had Geoff and Alleah over to wtahc movies, and around 9:30 we went for a coke run, but ran into JC in the parking lot and ended up going to his house to watch movies instead. We ended up staying til like, 3 in the morning.

Wednesday I went to hang out with the libratorbs at Megans place, and got to gossip for a little bit with them..

Thursday I went to Alleahs house to be a sappy girl and watch romantic comedies. We wtached Love Actually, best romantic comedy EVER MADE!! However, I fell asleep at like 1 in the morning, and left Alleah up watching alllll the other movies I had brought ( like, four). Then at five o clock in the morning I was VERY rudely awakened by a freakishly energetic and enthusiastic Alleah jumping on me!! I shouted some vague obscenities and turned over, but she didnt stop until I punched her. This kept her at bay for all of about 15 minutes, then she came back and tried again. This time I waited until she was real close, then roundhouse kicked her in the face. HaHA! that worked until about 7, when I decided there was no point anymore and just got up. We lazed about for a while, drinking coffee until 10, when I had to go to Malaspina for my theatre interview!!!

Despite the fact that I was slightly nervous, it all went by fabulously! im pretty sure they think im the greatest thing since sliced bread :P and they gave me the unofficial, youre in! so now I just have to sit and wait for my letter to come! Isnt this COOL? Brianna is finally going off to college! :D

After my interview Jen, Dave, and Ryan came and picked up me and Alleah, and we went to Mrs Riches for lunch, and then to Maffeo Sutton for some hanging out time. Somehow us girls all ended up piled on Dave which was really funny til we hurt his back :S and then Jen fell on my face, so we stopped all then rough housing. But i learned how to whistle through grass!! Dont laugh, ive seriously been trying to do that for years. And then me and Alleah stage fenced some more, good times. After all that I went home for a little while until Jen picked me up around 9;30 and we went to Ryans house to play pool and pictionary!! ive never actually played before, but we had a suprisingly hilarious time.

Saturday... I did something fairly stupid. I dont feel like typing it all out, so if you want to you can ask.

Sunday after I got home from Daves house I hung around home for a bit until Geoff came and picked me up, then we got Alleah, and kidnapped Barbara. We went to Pipers Lagoon and walked around there for a while, climbing trees and whatnot. Then we got bored, and went back to geoffs house where we scarred Monkey for life, played video games, and watched Snatch.

monday I FINALLY went jobhunting.... after hanging out at Lauras for a few hours. Then went and got ice cream with my mom, because I am the coolest person on Earth.

and thats that!

Til Kingdom Come - Coldplay

Steal my heart and hold my tongue
I feel my time, my time has come
Let me in, unlock the door
I've never felt this way before

And the wheels just keep on turning
The drummer begins to drum
I don't know which way I'm going
I don't know which way I've come

Hold my head inside your hands
I need someone who understands
I need someone, someone who hears
For you, I've waited all these years

For you I'd wait 'til kingdom come
Until my day, my day is done
And say you'll come and set me free
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me

In your tears and in your blood
In your fire and in your flood
I hear you laugh, I heard you sing
I wouldn't change a single thing

And the wheels just keep on turning
The drummers begin to drum
I don't know which way I'm going
I don't know what I'll become

For you I'd wait 'til kingdom come
Until my days, my days are done
And say you'll come and set me free
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.

Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.

From Amber and Barbara

What i am supposed to do here is write 15 very truthful statements about people you know, so here goes.

1) I never know whether youre telling the truth to me or not, or if Im getting the whole story. I wish you would let me know more.

2) i think we're drifting apart, and it kills me.

3) I think you may be the only person I actually hate. For what you do, how you act, what you say, and how you treat the people around you.

4) I loved you the second I saw you. I still love you, but in a different way.

5) SOmetimes the things you do boggle my mind. Mostly you just remind me of my mother.

6) Your insecurity bothers me.

7) I dont like your incessant need for me to constantly comfort you, or talk to you. I mean, we are friends, but you need to figure some stuff out on your own.

8) I love how there is never any drama between the two of us.

9) I wish I wasnt so afraid to ask you for things, and I wish I was sure if you actually loved me or not.

10) Often you embarrass me in public. I have yet to decide whether thats a flaw in you, or in myself.

11) I get really jealous of you sometimes, and have no idea why.

12) I wish you had stayed the same.

13) I cant wait until you come back home.

14) i wish you would see things from my point of view more often.

15) I miss you already.


if anybody REALLY wants to know who one is about, you can ask .
