So This morning, i get up and shower and dress in record time to catch my vocal jazz bus, and whe i get there.... the damn teacher's not even there! He was like "be in your seats by quarter to 8" and he didnt even get there at all.... Geez! My day isnt going great, but w/e.... I need a hug :(

Mon, 16 Jan 2006 16:05:15 GMT

Alright, so weekend wasn't all that great.... didn't get to see him at all, but i talked to him a bit, so that got me through :P I worked on Saturday; Steve's Birthday!!! yay! Applied for College and University on Saturday, and I'm getting my transcripts today to send them. I'm really cold and tired today, which isnt fun. I have too much to do to stay here... Later everyone!

Thu, 12 Jan 2006 18:00:19 GMT

hm... so I just spent about an hour practicing Puszta... wow. And I still haven't got it up to speed!!! This song is going to be the death of me! I really don't have that much to say, I guess, except for the fact I'm bored out of my mind... I'm sure I have something to do, but I don't feel like doing anything productive! Ooh! MK! it's Curran's bday today! I told you that yesterday, though, didn't I? :S Man my mind is slipping... I think I'm gonna go read my book now... Derek's dancing beside me and it's pretty funny :P
Hmmm.... yeah those couches are calling my name... and so is my book! I work tonight, and I don't think I'm gonna get through it alive... One family came in last night, and then all of a sudden the entire place smelled like cat food... One of the teachers, Steve, came out of his room and was like... why does it smell like fish in here? It was pretty bad, too... we had to open the windows in the staff room!

Okay, I'm done.

Wed, 11 Jan 2006 17:00:48 GMT

Well... first off, what kinda screwed-up theme is Balance??? pfft. Happy New Year everyone... I've been absent from the LJ world for quite a while now!
Ooh!Ooh! I got my grad dress!! :D *does happy dance*
sweet.

AAAND I accidentally skipped bio this morning, cos I thought it was day 3 for some reason! oops.
with that, I`m going to go buy some food!
Later!

Wed, 21 Dec 2005 15:45:20 GMT

Everyone,
I won't be updating much at all during the holidays, cos my computer won't open this site :( So have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and I love you all!

Hugs and Kisses!

Happy Birthday to me!

Fri, 16 Dec 2005 17:01:30 GMT

Hello everyone! I am officially 17 years old (well, at 945 tonight :P... eh. mere technicality!)
Going out for dinner tonight, and then dunno what else. Braces off on monday, Chantelle and Marcel and Mark on tuesday and wedneday... Life is good! :D
Spread the love :)

Wed, 14 Dec 2005 17:12:45 GMT

or I'm going to stay here and write love poems for my french project... aaaand get Janet's help with them :P

Wed, 14 Dec 2005 16:58:07 GMT

Hey, so my birthday is in two days. Count 'em... 2 TWO DOS DEUX ZWEI DUE... Okay you get the point.

Dan's birthday was yesterday, and he and Bryan showed up at my place to try and drag me to the mall, where my parents were Christmas shopping. They ended up staying til 9, and Dan retuned the guitar (cos hes like, the only one to play it anymore). He's coming out for dinner with my family on Friday, and we're going to Grapes (anyone been there before? What's it like?)

It's actually kindof funny that I'm only 16, and all the guys at work are always inviting me to their bar shows and stuff... Ivar, one of the guys (hes 19), was like, man i could've sworn you were 18. Nope, sorry. :P bummer.

Alright, well, must either study for Bio or write up scholarship essays... hm. boring. :(

later

5 Quirky Habits...

Tue, 13 Dec 2005 15:17:12 GMT

Okay, now that Mark has done that silly tag thing... *sigh* I suppose I could do the same, since he did tag me. Gr. So here's the rule:

Ground Rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "5 weird habits of yours" and people who get tagged need to write an LJ entry about their 5 quirky habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 5 people to be tagged and list their names.

1. My fingers do not stop moving. Seriously. I am either playing with them, or they are playing a song i learnt on the table, or im drumming my nails on my glass, or I'm... I don't even know. they just never stop moving.

2. I hate awkward silences. As Mark does, I tend to fill 'dead air' with a comment such as 'what was I going to say?' or 'Oh, I had something to tell you, but I forgot'. I would much prefer a completely random and disjointed conversation to a one-subject trainwreck.

3. I laugh a lot, and have trouble stopping sometimes :). You know that 'ha ha' game? the one where you lay on each others' stomachs and the first person will say Ha, the 2nd, ha ha, 3rd, ha ha ha, and so on until someone cracks up? I can rarely get past the 2nd Ha before I'm gone off laughing. It's quite frustrating.

(Okay, I just realised I'm following a pattern here... Sorry Mark!)

4. I'm inwardly and exteriorly (yes I just made up a word) distracted. I have the attention span of a hummingbird (The wall is two different colours of green!), and i will derail my own train of thought. Tangents are my best friend.

5. Last but not least... Hmm.. Oh. I am always cold. I sleep with about 10 blankets on me, with warm pjs on (:P) and I STILL get cold. My hands are like permanent ice cubes, which frustrates certain people to no end.

That was my attempt. Some of you may know more of my quirks than I, so please, feel free to let me know :P

Tue, 29 Nov 2005 19:01:17 GMT

So today's Warchild.... Yikes... I'm a wee bit nervous, but not as nervous as I think the rest of the guys (and Alanna) are. My feet hurt from the boots I was wearing today, cos I've been running around so much. Woke up feeling really sick to my stomach, and it hasn't gone away yet. I'm super stressing cos of the Lit project I haven't started yet, and I have no clue about. I haven't written my speech for this weekend, and we had a meeting aboutnti this morning, and I totally just pulled something out of my ass. 15 minutes til (the supposed) show time. I'm scared. I've got major butterflies right now, and I should stop thinking about it all cos theyre just getting worse. I'm going to go do... something... I just have to stop thinking about it otherwise I'm going to throw up. I'm really really scared. I feel like my stomach's in my throat, and I don't like it at all.

I'm outs

Thu, 24 Nov 2005 16:58:48 GMT

So yesterday was Chantelle's 19th birthday... I called her up, and we promised each other to update more so we know what's going on... I'm keeping my part of the promise!

I'll start with recent stuff. Keep the Beat is on wednesday, and I'm excited cos i get to sing with a band! its like a family band though... pretty funny! It's dan ginter and tyler ritchot on guitar, jeremy ritchot on bass, alanna on drums, greg chaboyer-pitre on vocals, and me on vocals. so 4 out of 6 have a sibling in the band. I sing back-up, so i get to just sit and listen most times in the practices... they sound pretty good :D

In other news... Still working at the Music Cellar... greatest job in history... still playing piano, and i know for sure theyre hiring me to sing with them again at both the Cabaret in the Spring, and the Festival at the end of the year. I'm not taking voice lessons any more though, it was just getting too crazy. School's going great, bio and double spare in the morning, which is very nice, except today... we have early dismissal, and i forgot, so i was a little late for bio, but Carbs doesnt really care... I have lit with Kroeker, believe it or not... he hasnt taught english in 7 years or something like that, but i relaly like him as a teacher, so its all good.

off on a tangent, I bought a sweater at dynamite, and its really comfy, buuuuuutt
it makes my neck itch. :( boo. *rubs neck*

My train of thought derailed... umm.... Yeah i cant remember... So I'm gonna find something to do.

Love n stuff!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISTER DEAR!!! I MISS YOU!!!!!!!

2.......

Thu, 27 Oct 2005 15:08:27 GMT

So I definately leave tomorrow. I can't wait to see everyone. I'm defintately bummed about missing the 1769 concert tomorrow night, but I'm sure there will be others. I'm actually really hungry right now.. And I should be doing bio homework, or french homework, or something. I'm really cold, too, and I didn't wear a jacket cos Dan picked me up this morning. It was nice not to have to rush like a madwoman to make my bus! It's hallowe'en day at school, but there arent as many people dressed up as I thought there would be... Scott is Robin Hood, literally Man in tights. :S I just saw a jedi knight walk by the window... hee hee! The dance is tonight. I'm going right from work, so no costumes for Laurie, although I could just go to work dressed up.... Orrrrr not lol. Should be fun. I love dances :D lol I'm a loser. Anyway, what else, what else, what else... Ohyea... I got an email from Tom telling me that I was his Spanish Civil War... Doesn anyone understand that??? Cos I sure don't.... I'm really nervous about seeing him again. I think he's gotten a lot more... I don't know what word i was going to use. He's just a lot more, now, I think. Hmm. Well, I'm definately cold, and definately hungry, so I'm going to go rectify both of those things!

Later!

and the final countdown begins.... 3........

Tue, 25 Oct 2005 14:35:35 GMT

So I've come to the realisation that LJ doesn't work at home for some reason... Which means updates are done from school. Boo. I leave for Edmonton on friday! 3 DAYS! WHOAAAA!!! I can't wait to see Tom again. I've seen both Kristy and Teddy since we've been back, but it'll still be so good to see them again! Meaghan has told me that I must dance with both of them upon sight :P. I've been working on my speech for Remembrance Day... The people who translated Robert's speech did a crazy job with it, so I have to simplify it all so I can understand what I'm saying. It's not quite my words, but close. I'm really nervous, because I know there are some people who won't understand the purpose, and because of that, they'll mock me, because it's easier that way. Especially if I start crying, which I really hope I don't. Gotta run to class now!
Bye!

Mon, 24 Oct 2005 16:22:48 GMT

At school, again... I leave for Edmonton on friday... should be awesomely fun times with KeeKee, Teddy and Tom. It's going to be weird to see Tom again after Holland... Apparently he's changed a lot, and I think I'm glad I'm only going to see him for the weekend, cos I'm not interested in falling for a guy from BC...again. Grr. Stupid boys and their living all over the country lol. I talked to Gordon a bunch this weekend, he called me twice! That really makes me happy. He's really sweet, and it's a shame I didn't have time to get to know him better while we were in Holland. I might be able to meet up with him while I'm in Ottawa for the day, but I think I might prefer catching up with Conal and Jim. *Gasp!* I might even get to see Isabelle! Yay! hmm, I'll just wait and see I guess... what else is new... Hm. Alanna and I had a total party Saturday night... it was ridiculously fun. We were listening to Christmas Carols, believe it or not :P It was uberfun. Worked on saturday, after Wind Ensemble. Go me pulling off the percussion! 4 different parts! Woohoo! :D I'm proud of myself! I have a bunch of stuff to do now though, so I will update later! Buhbye!

Why Oh Why Must We Only Be Observers.....

Thu, 20 Oct 2005 16:34:48 GMT

Wow... I just read Chantelle's LJ... I'm totally in shivers right now.... I don't understand how someone's life could be so bad that they'd want to end it... I know it happens, oh trust me I know... and it hurts to see. It hurts so much. The hurt turns into knives when you realise you're incapable of doing anything to stop the other person's hurt. You're stuck watching, waiting, hoping that something will change for the better but slowly drifting away. You're helpless. They're helpless. Trying but failing to pull it all together again. The knives start cutting at your heart and stomach when you know that the people who run their lives are wrong by not doing anything. But you can't change that. You're powerless against them.If you could just make them see what they're doing to her by not doing anything... You try your best to keep them around, keep them current on what the latest news is, try to give them back the life they refuse to take... Or else it goes downhill way too fast. At blinding speed they crash at the bottom. The climb back up is nearly impossible, even with your life ropes. The ropes start to fray and you lose grip.... you can only watch them slide back down... It seems slow enough to save them, but as soon as you get close, they slip further away.

I need a hug.

Okay, so I'm at school again... Icky. Yesterday was, coincidentally, the birthdays of two boys who cause me great mental turmoil... Both on the same day. Weird. I sang with Pot-Pourri last night, and it was fun. The people there are so awesome, and I think Miguel made me sicker. It was good to see Mickey again, even if he was still smoking like a chimney. :( boo.

In other news... What is there to say? I miss Mark, I miss my cousins, and I'm very bored and really don't feel like doing any bio homework right now... I don't feel like doing a whole hell of a lot right now. I want to go home, crawl under my blankets, and sleep and sleep and sleep. I had Vocal Jazz this morning, which involves gtting on (aka running for) the 7:37 bus. *yawn*

Ooh Ooh! I talked to Teddy last night on the phone, and I'm verily excited for the Edmonton conference! Instead of going to the banquet Saturday night, the four (or five, if Mandy shows) of us are going to chip in for pizza and all sorts of take-out food and just have a party until the wee small hours of the morning (when the whole wide world is fast asleeeeep (8) [Its a song we sang in vocal jazz last year? i think...]) So I was on the phone with Teddy for like an hour, and talking to Jinxie and Jeff and Aidan on MSN, and that was after I had had soo much fun at Joanne's with everyone... We're singing Beautiful by Xtina, and Migs was like 'Can I have the solo?' The guy sings bass, and I was sitting beside him on the couch, and he was singing my soprano line! It was pretty incredible :P

Sooo... Stratovarius is playing the WECC on Friday, and I don't have tickets yet... I think I might ask Dan if I can go with him, cos Cozzuol sent me a bunch of their stuff, and they're really good... Tickets are only 27$, so thats not tooo bad at all.

Anyway, this is getting pretty long, so I'm gonna go.

*huggles*

Fri, 23 Sep 2005 21:27:26 GMT
