[3] Year[s] in Pictures

Who ARE We?!

2010-04-04T11:11:00.000-07:00

Waltz with me in the street
avoid the murder car
and look at a mouse.
Friends bloopers until three a.m.
[Ross caaannnnnnn]

Beet red tomato prediction came true!

Happy Easter :)

Pat: Never change.

Day/Night

2010-03-13T08:59:00.000-08:00

Remember when you were little? How, in the bright summer days, your parents would line up your toy dinosaurs at the windowsill, giving them a glimpse of what they were missing out there?

When night fell those dinosaurs would radiate the light of the day. They'd sneak into your room, one by one, and your parents would tell you to go find them. Remember searching through your dark room for that rosy glow coming from under your covers, your closet, your drawers?

Remember being terrified of forgetting one in case it came alive and ate you?

[The last post I posted was my 365th. Finally, after three years.]

Days like these
with that Spring smell around
remind me of
childhood.

Scrape of chalk on concrete,
bouncing balls above wires and
hool-ing hoops around arms.

The clack of street hockey
as I watched Nicks friends play.

Skinned knees from trying too hard,
blood from a skateboard accident and
my name hollered from
front porches when the sun

goes

down.

Boy: I can't cross my legs.
Me: Really?
Boy: Yeah, my pants are too tight.
Girl: Liar! You can't cross them without pants on either.

And something about a big friendly bear.

Run Away

2010-02-22T12:39:00.001-08:00

Sometimes, when I'm sitting on the bus, I wonder what would happen if there was an accident and no one could escape this bus? How would the drama unfold? Would the old lady next to me offer to share her mystery meat sandwich, or would she quickly gobble it down before we noticed? And, of course, the inevitable: who would be eaten first?

But then, of course, we drive out from under the Decary expressway and these thoughts disappear. I go home and forget about this near-death experience until tomorrow.

After Math

2010-02-16T18:33:00.000-08:00

I miss doing this, especially now that life is so full and memorable. There are things that I want written down.

Most of it would be pointless boy drivel... but it makes me happy :)

No pictures.... yet.

But we'll try and do this anyway.

Tuesday, January 19th

Avery's birthday!!! Woohaa.
Plan sprung into action at 8:00 sharp with my wakeup from a night of no sleeping.

Hopped on the bus [with stereotypically bearded man, haha] and, like, forever later I was there.

Avery: Anna!

Thanks for helping, Jess :)
Went to the Oval and felt like a real Abbotteer.

NoName: You know how I know you're best friends?

Got chatted up by some random guy who submitted Avery to [not that kind] of test. Which she lost. Better luck next time.
Everyone left me... but then Geedi found me!
We talked nonsense and then she left me... and then Avery was back!

Do you always have water bottles like that? /high pitched voice

Met up with Dad and then sat in the basement and fantasized about singing men. Sigh.
Home, nap, dinner. School tomorrow!

Monday, January 18th
Boring day.

Sunday, January 17th
Out with Kim and Daniel in the afternoon, over to Angrignon.

Kim: Am I a bad driver?
NotKim: No, I felt very safe.
Kim: Really? Thanks!
NotKim: ...

NotKim: Don't drop that pill.
...drops.
NotKim: What did I JUST say?!
Kim: I am going to eat it anyway.

She bought her headphones then we headed over to the mall and did some other stuff.
Bus back to Daniel's video store and picked out [rather disturbing] films.

Facetious.

Does your mom touch people?

Back home for dinner, then POWER OUTAGE and scary X-Files music in the night time.

Saturday, January 16th
...not much.
Attempted to repair my laptop and went to bed frustrated and with a giant headache at like 9:30.

Friday, January 15th
Went light shopping in the morning, confusing stores.
Met Dana at Namur in the afternoon after some debating, but ended up great!
Even though it was the wrong movie, but it was a good wrong movie. With a surprisngly un-creepy Phillip Seymour Hoffmann. Woop.
Talked music, then bus home for a dinner of muffin. Good stuff.

Turrrrrrrrtle

2010-01-15T10:23:00.000-08:00

Today is coming.

Alone.
Applied for so many jobs *finger crossed* and requests for information.
Here's hoping!
Over to Dorval in the afternoon, picked up some stuff.
Conversations in the night-time... suddenly over.

Only you.

Wednesday, January 13th.
Not much.
Watched tv with Nick in the evening.

Where Are We?
Went to Carrefour Laval with Mom - didn't get lost!

Me: Screw instructions! We're going rogue!

Spent a few hours figuring out that giant mall... rather successfully!
Got new clothes and Mom got tea. Woop.

Until Death Didn't Want Him
Good books!

Muffstuff
Muffin over in the afternoon and Dad and I out for a walk with the dogs.
Watched the airplanes go by and checked out mouse holes in the field.
Nana and Poppa over for [a late] St. Hubert's dinner!
Yum yum.

Nellyphant

2010-01-09T19:19:00.000-08:00

See?
Went out in the morning and got calendars! Love them.
Had a chat, then some lunch and finished my book.
Job researching after dinner, hmmm. Interesting.

Anniversary

2010-01-08T18:28:00.000-08:00

AH!
Made a sock monkey.
Gave it to mom.

Olive Face
Over to the grocery store [and its smell of marijuana and extremely crowded pepperoni aisle] in the afternoon.
Picked up all the essentials... plus olives.
Back to my place to waste a bunch of time playing games and virtually stalking people and thennn -
Prepare!
Each had our duties, good job everyone!
Waited for it to cook and drank our drinks.
I Love You, Man and fuzzy blankets. Delicious donuts.
Gooooood stuff.

BATTLE
Finger twister + alcohol = today

OutsideIn
A whole lotta mall.

Big Day Out
Timmy's for lunch-ish, murmured conversations and then off to the library!
Well... back to the terminus, actually.
But then off to the library!
Lounged in the gazebo, and then made all sorts of wonderful plans.

Year Spaceship

2010-01-03T16:11:00.000-08:00

Inuk.
Out for a photoshoot on the lake, along with watching some skaters try avoid dogs.
Sought respite from the wind so went back up to the cottage while Dad got a few last runs in.
Packed up and said goodbye - thanks, everyone!
Car ride home with annoying cds, then catching up with everything in Montreal.

Because he's our favourite.

Sliding party!

Zoomzoom
Up and had a bit of a snowshoe with Nana through the woods across the street, very pretty trees.
Andrea up around 2, after her extremely long and stressful trip, haha.

Her: I was going to bring my guitar... but we brought Corey instead.

Enjoyed that story, then went out to do some sliding! Got a bunch of runs in, and watched people crash and fall down a lot.

NotMe: I think I have a wrist concussion... I can't remember hurting it.

Pasta for dinner, prepared by Andrea.
3rd degree.

Canada: How many kids do you have?
Mexico: One, actually.
...life story.

Interesting.
Cleaned up and sat around talking.

From the cock to the ass.
...that expression doesn't work so well in English.

Had a giant discussion about dictionaries and the word Google... just let it go.
Bed eventually.

Giant/Shrimp
<3
Love cottage winter.
Up way, wayyyyy too early for New Years Day. Ugh.
Crawled into the car and rocked out on the way to the cottage.
Arrived in the snow and immediately went to sit down on the couch.
Got dragged out for a really nice snowshoe down the lake with Nana, Dad and the noisy dogs. Beautiful day!
Back for a yummy sausage dinner and in bed at 7:30.
[10:00 cottage time, hahah]

Reunition Tradition
New Years Eve!!
Met up with Avery after dinner, after figuring things out all day long.

Boy: I got it.
Girl: You're good at getting things. Like laid.
Boy: True dat.

Walked over to Matt's in the cold, had a beer and chatted with him and Jordan - fun!
No grade six reunion, amputee gym teacher and being drunk in class.
Stayed longer to save him from awkwardness, but finally left when others showed up.
Over to Jess's and found a whole lot of food waiting for us!
Did the usual, sat, talked and drank :)
Re-enacted prom mishaps, hahaha.

DrunkGirl: I don't remember that!

Counted down!
[I'm still upset the last song I heard in 2009 was Justin Beaver...]
And attempted to crack some crackers at the moment of the new year. Fail.
Left not too long after that, Avery's dad picked her up and I walked back to Matt's, wishing people well on the way.

ANNA!

Came and saved him. Helped clean up a bit, then relaxed at the table once the disgustingly drunk Duffy was gone.

Me: What was his name?
Him: Honestly... I don't even know.
Me: I. Love. You.

Didn't think there were many of that sort around there.

Heard the best story ever, then made Avery really happy, then got a lift home from JP.
Bed at 2:22.
Wonderful, wonderful night.

Peter... Petrelli?

2009-12-30T19:07:00.000-08:00

Review
Had a lazy morning, then went over to Lachine mall with Mom to pick up some stuff.
Got my notebook!
Home and hardcore gluing - took a couple of hours but it's done now.
With only one page-peeling incident going on.
Sang a little embarrassing song too many times and was angry with redundancy.
Got it figured out in the end.

Cat Butts!
Long day, and then Anne!
Sitting in front of the fire with purple tea, cookies and fruit loaf... yum.
Chatted about... the regular stuff, hehe.

Anne: Is that for colonic irrigation?
NotAnne: I don't know but you're gonna need a couple of splash boards and a U shaped tube.

Me: So when you get together with all your gay minstrel friends you'll have something to talk about!

Bigger dyke and Dirt.

They left around ten, took a fecal mint on the way, and I stayed up to watch Six Feet Under. Woop!
Fun night :)

Rummy 1000
Up in the morning, showered and downtown with Dad!
Loaded up on all sorts of cd's and dvd's... we'll be occupied for a while.
Listened to the beginning of the first Gaslight Anthem on the ride home - sounds pretty good so far.
Played cards with Mom in the afternoon, I started off well... but it was downhill from there. Oh well. That seems to happen a lot.

Coming to the End
The end of Christmas is sad... but it's not quite done yet!
Didn't do much today, I don't think.
Can't really remember, actually.

Freytastic

2009-12-26T13:38:00.000-08:00

Thank You
Getting new stuff to replace my old stuff makes me sad.
My possessions have feelings, too.
Slow, lazy day. Got halfway to the bank, but then it started raining so I turned around.
Read some more of my book and... yep. About it.

MErry CHRIStmas!
Wizard Patrick, hahaha.
Slept in a bit, no rush to open presents.
Showered and almost ate breakfast, then thought better of it.
Over to Nana's around 11:00 - yummy brunch!
Mmmmmm, cherry buns. My favorite.
People and dogs left, so Ernie and I turned on the spelling bee.

NotMe: Double R!! Double R!!

It got pretty intense.
Finally family showed up - Brenda, Emily, Katie... but no Duffy this year.
Got the crackers organized, good job guys.
Martha, Yves, Pat, Annik and Melissa were next, then the Burns gang.
Handed out stockings!

Anna, I love your body.

Scratch and sniff toothbrushes!!

NoNut: I won't get one, I'm allergic to nuts.
Nut: Unless...

Cousin gift game went well, with one unfortunate stealing incident.
Jesus showed up in his Snuggie.
Back into the living room for more gifts! Holey moley.
Nice sweater, Emily.
A few glasses of wine later, we were singing in the corner.

Mmm tss ahh tss mmm tss ahh tsss
PUT YOUR HANDS UP

What's goinches?
Get your hand out of my goinch.

We really should take that on tour.
Finally dinner time! Found our sweaters then headed down into the... dark. Every year.
The food was delicious, and after a minor discussion I gave a little speech :)
Shared family memories - I love us.
Ate wayyy too much and had no room left for dessert, aww.
Back upstairs and cleaned and hugged and talked and then left.
[with my favorite present of all :) ]
Lay in bed for a while, smiling.

Merry Christmas, world.

Active!

2009-12-24T20:03:00.000-08:00

Eve
Skating!!!
Winter sports rock.
Up in the morning, too early.
Met Avery and caught the bus, found our way to the rink.
Managed to tie skates well enough and hobbled our way up the stairs!
So much fun :)

I feel like a mother duck.

Home, power nap [or not] then got ready to go out.
Mormor's for dinner with the family, good stuff and cute babies.
Home annnnnnnd - presents!!
Everyone is happy, I love Christmas :D

It's Christmastime Again
Finally - success!
I love Zellers. [The Quebec version, with 2 l's.]
Over to Nana's to help set up Christmas with Kelly and Terrianne.
Yummy soup and cheese dreams, then baby pictures!

Your family had a whole bonnet theme, eh.

Red baby!

Dad returned from hockey and picked me up, went home to shower.
Walked Noodle, then took the right bus, but still didn't see the people I was supposed to.

Where are you?
...where are YOU?

It all worked out in the end.
Shenanigans! Nice place, even with crazy dancing drunk "lady".

NotDaniel: I'm sad and alone.
Daniel: You're never alone when we're around! Love line!

HatFinder: I may be homeless, but I have good taste.

Beast Kim [Husband beater]

Successfully managed a smoke on the bus, to the amusement of Nick's fan.

What are you, an astronaut??

Bed at 1:23.

Daring
Out in the morning with my Dad to pick up pre-ordered gifts + bagels. Yum!
Home, made plans with Kim and ate a bagel. Yum!
Met up with her, met Mia on the bus [cliffhanger] then said goodbye to her.
Made our way to Fairview and, after ransacking Le Rouet, got to the food court to see Jess, Avery and Geedi!

Me: You're my favourite thing!
NotMe: My favourite thing is shredded cheese.

Walked around with two of them, learning disappointing things about gifts I wanted to buy :(
Went home.
Dinner, "A Christmas Story", Daniel and driving with Kim!
With only one abrupt stop.
Did something daring but which was ultimately a great idea!
She rocks :)
Walked home in extreme softness.

Finish and Start
Loafed in the morning, then cleaned some stuff up.
Out with Mom in the afternoon, spent more money.
Ughh.
Home and finished a book, finally! Longest ending ever.
Dinner and tv. Uneventful.

RallyAl

mumble mumble
Katie: What's that?
mumble mumble
Katie: AHH! Oh, hi Mom.

I arose early to the sound of Katie's alarm clock... not mine. Told her to stay put and went to register!
Worked out awesome, after some initial Dana stress. But we'll be buff by year's end.
Crawled back into bed and waited until Brenda scared us out.
Prepared a yummy brunch and helped Katie decide about her day.
Finally sang to Martha!
Got dropped off at the bus station... :(
Almost made it to Syracuse... thankfully someone told me.
Said "KIRKLAND" loud and proud, as instructed.
Dozed on the bus, watched a great sunset and made it home in one piece.

I forgot my pie. Of course.

Canada!
I love Ottawa.
Crawled out of bed around 10:30 and stumbled upstairs to find a missing Brenda and an out-of-place notepad.
Watched a whole lot of Friends bloopers!
Brenda finally returned and we got down to our baking plans.
Truffles, cookies, turtle bars and a penis later, we were finally done.

Daughter: I don't know how it looks! You do it!

Headed over to the mall to pick up gifts... didn't work out.

Me: I wasn't expecting them to have an Olympic snuggie...

Froze our faces off but got back in time to watch a few more videos online and say goodbye to busy Brenda.
Ordered pizza and garlic sauce [or not, after all...] online and I whooped Katie's ass in rummy while we waited.
Ate and watched Anne!
Surprisingly better than I expected... even though my mom ruined it for me.
Loafed until Brenda returned to pick us up for the late show ;)
Pretty good! Gotta love a man in a suit.
Home, bed.

Are we sleeping now?

FREYDAY
There is a [cheating] picture coming.
Up in the morning, showered and did my hair all before catching the bus!
Got dropped off the stop and got confused while eavesdropping.

ExPetOwner: I found my dog Boo dead this morning...
or
ExPetOwner: I found my baboon dead this morning...

Who knows.
Got a seat on the bus, phew. Thankfully not next to the mumbling drooling lady.
Met Brenda and Duff at the station! Woop.
Went home with them and had a nice chat while Katie did her exam.
Was left alone for a while to read.
Finally everyone came back to me and we were all happy.
Had yummy mac and cheese!
Over to Ken's and then Matt's afterward, taking the long way... several times.
A bit of a fail night, but still a good time.

NotLlew: And you have a penis on your leg.
Llew: Uh... and this imprint on my face.

Someone: Let's put his hand in warm water!
SomeoneElse: ...he's on your couch.

Spent a lot of time touching anatomy... mostly top-of-mouths and toes.
Drove home with a stop off at McDonalds where guys hit on us.
And s'mores pies!!
Indulged... yum.
Sat on the couch and talked :)

Flatter
Hello, friends.
Bought my bus ticket!
Went out and met Avery in the [blistering] cold.
Good word!
My poor ears.
Bus was early, thankfully. Met up with Jess then wandered at Fairview a while until Geedi showed up.
Ate, wandered more, then waited for bus home.
Scored some free tea, yumm.
Got part of my schedule - woop! So happy.
Sat and read in front of the fire, so lovely.

Wednesday
Non-day.

[I see you tomorrow. Way to melt.]

SantAnna
Headed downtown to hand in my paper - last time I'll be there for a while.
Hit up some stores for gifties and had an amazing run-in with a fellow fan.

Fan: That book exists?!

Fan: I wonder if he's based on a real guy...
Me: If he is I would like to meet him.

Donated some to the firemen. Woop.
Headed home and wrapped!
Stuffed 'em under the tree.
Welcome home, Christmas.

Hanky Panky
Oh man.
Finished last assignment of the semester! Woop.
Stayed up to watch the finale... so worth it.

I'm a woman now.

Peopletastic

2009-12-13T13:33:00.001-08:00

Smile!
Caught the bus with Avery at one after making sure the church wasn't on fire [shhh!].
Had some confusion where we got off the bus...
...and got back on. We tend to do that.
A friendly man spoke to us.

NotMe: I don't like friendly people.

Ran into him again at Timmy's... hm.
Sat for a long time and Avery enjoyed her soup and butter very much.

Crack it open and there's pie!
Crack it open and there's butter!

I never pushed you through my vagina.

Bussed home and attempted to do some work but never did.
Other stuff.

EXCITEMENT
Out to the Grahams to spread some Christmas cheer but...

StuartOrAndrew: Sorry, they're sleeping.

Decided not to wake them up and headed over to Nana's instead.
Brenda!
Got a novel and a very sweet note <3
More people arrived.

Me: I'm sorry. This is a 'moist'-free zone.

Watched some dogfights and then dinner!
Yummy pasta and funky bread.
Tulio folding his napkin into a box, hahaa.

Nick: I'm the only qualified napkin-holder here.

Waited a very long time for dessert, which was totally worth it except for that lemony part.
Had a fulfilling chat with someone on the phone. I needed that.
Watched handicapped curlers and talked about pubic hair.
Checked out Christmas lights on the drive home, stopped for a second and grabbed alcohol then headed out again!

Sociables!

Chimmy Chonga

Air hump

Sarah: Hold on! Angle yourselves into the light, yeah, that's it. Perfect.

Discussed all sorts of smutty things and watched the usual stuff.

Hold on - where's my bra?

Were sneaky with Mia, hehe. We are good people.
Lift home, yay!
FUN night :)

Good Thai-ms
Got a surprise lift to Dawson from Dad, woop!
Gave Mom a mini-tour, picked up some papers and got some marks. Yay!
I love compliments.
Took the metro to Angrignon -

Mom: I've never been this way! This is so exciting!

And then caught the 195 right as it was leaving. Good timing!
Did some Christmas shopping, was pretty successful. Bought some food and then left.
Waited a bit for the bus... brrrr.
Eventually got to sit together.
Frigid walk home.

I'm sad...

Sat at the table for a while... listened to depressing things.
Went to bed for a while then emerged for dinner.
Into bed, exhausted.

Talking Without Talking

2009-12-10T19:44:00.000-08:00

Burn Baby Burn
Woo!
Up and had breakfast in bed... love winter break!
Met up with Jess on the bus and arrived at the mall. Did a walk-through with a brief stop at Coles.
Waited outside in the wind and the cold for the torch... for a long time. Watched 35 police cars roll by.

The rest of the city must be rioting.

Saw the torch! Yelled and shook our tambourines, hahaha.
Waited for the bus for an hour... finally were frozen enough to call in help from my mom, who gladly rescued us.
Jess bought bread then we went home.
Had some hot chocolate, then off to Lakeside!

Annnnnnnnnnaaa!

Saw my people... awwww.
Talked with Patrick and Courtneybrown through most of it, love her.
Made plans with her and Schwartz.

NotCB: I don't know what you like to do, but I'm sure we can find a common interest somewhere!
CB: I'm sure we'll end up canoeing or something...

Home for soup, yum yum.
Out after dinner to the rink with Poppa and Dad, skated a bit then watched the game and split a drink :)
awwwwwwww.
Had a really good time there, then came home to talk with friends.
Good day!

Santa's jizz. Also the origin of the term 'white Christmas'

Late start to the day, love it.
Finished my project ^^^ and hauled it off to school swaddled in plastic bags because...
BLIZZARD!!!
Bus was pretty prompt, thankfully.
Made it in on time and talked with [confused] Dana's friends:

NotMe: So, where are you from?
Me: Lachine, on the West Island.
NotMe: So like... Ontario?

Went to class and impressed everyone with my skillz.
"Enjoyed" everyone's presentations...
Got to leave early!
Went to IGA and bought wax paper and a Kinder Surprise, which was less fun without Matt.
...the Kinder Surprise, not the wax paper.
Bus home, speedy.
Fire!! Almost burnt down the house... thankfully Mom came to the rescue.
Breakfast for dinner! My favorite.

[mind = blown]

X-Files and Glee finale! Ahh!

NotKatie: You're easy. Loose.
Katie: Uhhh...
NotKatie: Ah! Not easy! Not loose!

TUESDAYYYYYYY
Survived Evil Santa in the morning and got off to class.
Killed my hand through my English exam and Humanities essay.... but now they're done!
woooooooo!

Teacher: This sounds like an orchestra of snot.

Home earlier than usual and had a yummy sandwich for lunch.
Bummed around for a while and then remembered I had to photocopy stuff... almost didn't get it done but then did. Woop.
Philo presentation - 100%!

NotMe: But... when am I going to see you again?
Me: ...never?

Home, dinner, stuff.

Shove your tits down its throat!

Monday
Non-day.

Oh, it was cold yesterday, that proves global warming doesn't exist.
No, that proves you're an idiot.

Life

2009-12-06T19:35:00.000-08:00

And So It Is
Up in a regretful manner fairly late.
Discovered that my printer does not work without all of its ink... booo.
Work for the day: canceled!
Out to Dorval to see if they have ink, no luck.
Saw Melissa standing outside the old Coles, ahaha.
Trained my computer to recognize my voice!

THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE!!

Had some bonding time, hahaa.
Chatted with Katie and the birthday girl, then watched some tv.
School seemed far away today.

No, really, the pleasure was all mine.

EVIL SANTA!!
Christmas card photos in the afternoon!
Bhahahaha, I don't even understand us. Printed them all out...
Out after dinner with the girls, which turned into a giant fail.
Missed the bus... missed the metro...
Saw some reveling [old] firefighters, walked in the wrong direction, had bad service, got carded, smushed inside a teeny phone booth, made sexual references, went home.
And had a lot of fun :)
Got home relatively early, and loooooved getting into bed.

NotMe: You're a drug adDICT.
EveryoneElse: .....

Burp.
BURP.
Me: You guys are so cute together.

Sara?

Teeny Tickle Arms
Had an extremely disorienting and confusing time finding my locker this morning... it was not in its usual position.
Recovered from that... kind of. Went to English!
Had breakfast and bingo! Hahahahah, good times.

This is bullshit!

Beer cake!

Our side of the class won nothing. Booo.
But we got all hyped up on sugar, just in time to write my Humanities final.
That went pretty well, I think.
Break with Kim and Ben, discovering career options for her.
French! Last class! Awww...

Me: It was nice to meet you...
Madison: *sad wave*

Wrote about my experience on a desert island, then went to my locker and had some brief confusion about Geedi's location.
Matt came around and tried spinning my locker back around...

NotMe: ...and if I can move them with these arms!
Me: Yeah, those spindles. Daddy long legs. Twiggy.
NotMe: That's enough.

He guided me in the right direction and we finally found my people.
I led Geedi and Avery to the museum!
Enjoyed all of that, and Geedi found her true love in the lion.
Back to St-Caths for disappointing lack of shirts...
Wandered some more!
Yummy white hot chocolate and then on the [very long] bus home, talking about... what were we talking about?
That guy enjoyed it, anyway.

I'll ask him to set me up. He has good taste in boys.

NotMe: You have to tell me to say no!
Me: What?! I can't do that! I'd say yes!!

Size Irony
Got to go in later than usual, but was almost too late anyway.
Had the last class! Weeeeou.
Handed in the final paper, yay!
Met with Genny and then went to my other last class! Woooohooo!

Genny: I know there's going to be a test, I know it!
Teacher: And... a surprise test!!

Went straight to the caf after and sat with Jayme and Ben, helped Genny colour and discussed the future.
Took a picture.

That doesn't look like me!

Headed over to the food court, stalked a friend, ate Tiki Ming and then went to class.

Kim, get some drugs! We're coming over!

Listened to cokehead presentations and then went home.

Eat Me

2009-12-02T16:39:00.000-08:00

Edible!
Arrangement!
Cool!
Too bad Mom can't even eat any.
Late start today, and very little class time in general. I love tests.

Me: My poster campaign will eventually stop racism and cure AIDS!
Dana: Wow, you dream big.

Saw Genny! Had a quick chat and then I had to get off the metro. Boo.
Home nice and early, ate dinner then wrote the essay I'd forgotten about.

Little bit of fruit, little bit of TV. Woop.

Bright Eyes
Early class, but I'll miss it next semester.
Read some poems, and laughed at mispronunciations.
Sat around for two hours...

Avery. Come online.

alone.
Finally went to the meeting, only to be told I did a good job and he had nothing to say.
WTF?!
pointlessness.
Went home and didn't do much, then went back with my laptop to talk to people during another extremely pointless little while.

Now all I'm thinking about is being fucked with a pickle.

But, I got honey on a stick, so everything was worth it!
Home and dinner, then Dad forgot to tape Californication, even though I reminded him like 6 times.
pffft.

CENSORED
I do have a picture today, but it's inappropriate for internet eyes.
You know who you are.
This was Monday. My day off! Yay!
Probably finished up work, that seems like something I would do.
Went to visit Mom after dinner, stayed for about an hour.

Me: Any sexy male nurses around here?

Drove home with Dad, good times.

Oh well.
Bacon and eggs for dinner, then picked up Avery and went over to Jess's!
[bearing cookies]
Chatted about nasty bus people and running into people from the past.
Geedi arrived with her homework and we all cuddled up with the computer to watch funny videos and listen to Geedi speak Spanish.
Put the movie on, hated on that guys accent.
Played Scattergories...

Avery: Oh I love your shirt! What's the colour, dirt brown?

Helicopter driver... they need to be driven by someone!

Black guys, gay boys, Asians and.... anyone.

[un]Healthy
They should probably fix this soon.
Saw some disturbing hair on the bus...
More people read poems in English, love it! There were some really really good ones.
Three hour break, went downtown!
Browsed the bookstore for an hour, finally picked something out.
I know I like it, and it's extremely long. Defs woth it.
Back to school for a French test, did alright I think.
Had another uncomfortable moment on the bus. Jeeze.
Home and made cookies with Mom, more of that to come tonight!
<3

Uhhhh
Well. That's odd.
Went to my first class then felt extremely nauseous so I called my mommy and she came and got me.
Took a pill, fell asleep, ate dough.
Good times.

Made me very happy :)
Last Humanities lecture, woop!

Beep, beep
Teacher: What? What?
Beep, beep
Teacher: What? What?
Beep, beep
Teacher: ...I'm not the only one hearing that am I?!

Bus home, wrote Philosophy oral, then watched Nick knead dough.
Joined in after a bit, and entertained Nick H!
Hahaha, what a great afternoon.

That's what she said.

That ended and I went back to class.... boo.
Not late this time.
Got my essay back, not great. Will have to rewrite.
Worked on the presentation and left early. This has become a [great] habit.
Home for pizza!

Winding Down
Earned some money in the morning, then went shopping with Mom in the afternoon.
Didn't find the right colour bristol board, but did have a brief stalker moment.

I see you.

Recovered from that... barely. Home to do some more work, finished that before dinner and then completed my English after supper.
TV, emergency shower and then bedtime. Yay!

My Mom thinks you're creepy and no longer wants me to marry you.
Excellent.

2009-11-22T12:32:00.000-08:00

Brief Confusion
Up in the morning... ugh.
Caught the bus over to the library to meet Geedi!
Finished English questions :)
Avery met us there and we looked for books together... not too much success.
DD after without Jess...

Me: That guy looks like George Lopez!
NotMe: ...that was a sub at our school.

Went to the park with Avery and my heavy/deformed bag, then realised how late it was (how late) and went home.
Yep.

Snapper
Got woken up early in the morning... walk with family!
Showered and ate, then drove out to Ile Perrot to meet everyone.
Including a very late Andrea and Kelly.

Momo Delicious?!

Enjoyed that, then went to Smoked Meat Pete's for lunch, where Nana had some disastrous problems with the mustard.
Split from everyone and went home, then over to the library to meet Geedi.
Worked with her for a bit, then she had to leave.
Went to the SAQ! Had some fearful moments of indecision on the phone with Kim but then I saw Mr. Hall and everything was okay.
Didn't get carded though, cheap.
Dinner, then Daniel's!

Super soft sweater.

Kim: You can only touch his head.
Me: ... head of what?
Daniel: YESSS.

Sarah: What's in here? It smells like lemon. What?
Everyone else - tripping out.

Ran into more unexpected people... enjoyed that. Walked home with Mia :)
Fun night!!

Blind
Friday! Rainy day, booo.
English test in the morning, had to go in.

Donut Machine? Hmmm...
Up late, love it.
Still sick :(
Ate a delicious sandwich then worked on homework... no progress, really.
To school for a French class! It's been a while.
Went to the labo, enjoyed the sentences we were to translate.

When we walked in he was writing a letter.
We did not understand.

Arts&Culture field trip to the food museum... spent about 7 minutes there then ditched with Dana to find donuts and porn.
Succeed on the donuts, finally, but no porn in sight. Booo.
Discussed lapdances, bikers, park parties... many things.
Had a blast :)
Caught the metro home with Asian Emily, brought Timbits to my family and ate supper. Yumm.

Bitchface Blogger

2009-11-17T19:00:00.000-08:00

Wandered through the library, then back to class.
Pointless.
Yummy supper and Hank Moody. Yummmm.

Blahhhh
Feel extremely ill still.

Did so.

Something Hot and Chocolatey... But Not Hot Chocolate
Cake in a mug!
With an odd sponge texture...
More work. Feel extremely ill.
Got annual photo taken and went to the museum with Dad to see the history of Lachine.
Hm.

This is How Many it Takes
Bad day.
Lots of work.
And pessimistic writing.

:D
Had some emergency running about in the morning, needed to cut down my getting-ready time quite significantly.
Note to self: do not fall back asleep after turning off alarm.
Made it in time though, and everything was alright.
Ate, then met Matt and all of his friends in the food court.

French porn:
Me: Awww... you just blew the climax!!

NotUs: I love you guys as friends!
Us: Not separately... just as friends.

Sat with them for a loooooong time as the numbers slowly dwindled and then rebuilt.

Text: OMG DAWSON'S ON FIRE!!

Text: Hey, fire drill at school!

Text: Gas leak!! Everyone out!!

Still not entirely sure about what happened... but had some brief moments of panic and some hilarious running into closed door scenes.
Finally got everyone coordinated, everyone's points worked out, and onto the metro.
Got the gift!
And a mask for me... though not for anyone else.
Met up with Geedi :)
Told her about coincidence boy and we chatted about that and other things on the bus home.
Got ready with Katie :)

Taylor Swift lookalike

Over to Matt's, then drove downtown.

Poon air sex

Me: Man, if he were interested he could SO get laid on this couch right now. Twice.

You know who is the ideal vampire killer? Pinocchio!!

And the multitude of "stake" and "balls in mouth" jokes.

Flashing bike men hitting on me on the walk home, and avoided Matt's lecture before bed.
No fun.

Bookums

2009-11-12T16:36:00.000-08:00

I Like Anna... Sometimes
Didn't sleep very well last night... boo.
Alt. Med. wasn't as boring as usual, which was good.
Comm. Cult. was also pretty good, chatted it up with the French girls in front of us.
Met Matt and went back to the drugstore where they don't sell good drugs or porn.
Got iced tea, paper and surprisingly good napkin pens instead.

See his jeans? I think he's more your type.

Almost propositioned a man for sexual favours, then debated his preference for a creepily long time.

NotMe: I hate being wrong.
Me: Me too. I'd rather be creepy than wrong.

We ended up feeling sorry for him, but then he disappeared.
Had some pretty intense battles involving 30 [then 18, then 12] Rabbits With Knives, A Clueless Dinosaur, A Killer Robot, A Snake With A Gun, and A Happy Ghost.
Had a pretty surprising turnout.
Left early from Philosophy again cause Anne was coming over for dinner.
Which she did.

Anne: I'm pretty sure they thought I was Keanu Reeves.

Perfect Sky
Wednesdays without French are great.
Sat alone in AC, and watched an extremely hungrifying documentary about Schwartz's smoked meat.... yum!
Then hung out with Dana for about an hour, talking about all sorts of things.

You know what do wop is?!

Her: We weren't allowed to wear nail polish, because it made our nails too hard and therefore dangerous...

Fuzzy McBean

Me: *stabbing story*
Her: Wow... it's like you went to Degrassi, except more true to life.

Then chatted with Matt and his parents for a while, then my parents came and we all talked together. How nice.
I should marry him.
Loud clapping, Nana's wart, and being surrounded by empty seats.
100 dollars and Subway later, I got to bed.

Late.
First days are always long.
This one wasn't so bad, got to Philosophy late and then convinced New Jessica to leave early with me after we got no work done. Woo!
Passed a Humanities test I thought for sure I failed... love it when that happens.
Held the door for people briefly.
Walked over to Geedi's with Avery after dinner!
Haven't laughed that hard in a whiiiiile.

Excuse me, do you like small boobs?

Got the clutch - all that's left now is that stupid mask. Boooo.

Done!
Thanks for the book :)
Today I definitely did homework.
Finished Oedipus Rex, then read Antigone. I'm pretty much Greek now.
Started my essay, and that's about it.

NickH: Anna, you're a weirdo.

Feel Like A Giant
Did homework... I think.
Who can remember this far back, anyway?
I should blog more often. Such bad habits I have.

Cont.

2009-11-07T07:57:00.000-08:00

Greatteen
Up to a frantic text from Geedi... delayed plans.
Got dressed late, then met Avery and Jess on the bus.
Timmys!
Cards and presents and Canadian names :D

Rohinton?

And all the pictures of sexy men I could ever want. Hoo boy.
Left and met Geedi at school [Lakeside], then went to my place.
Finger Twister!!! New favorite game.
OD'd on Happy Pills.

Jess: These are disgusting.
...can I have another one?

It's not fair! Geedi's hands are all muscly from piano!

Banana candies = yum

bobblemyhead.com

Walked Avery home, explained things to Nick, then walked back.
You guys rock :)
X-Files [without Mulder? Wtf?] and Benjamin Button after supper.
Finished a great book, and slept.

OLD
Woke up at 6... got dressed had breakfast brushed my teeth got back in to bed.
Woke up at 9... hopped in the car and went shopping with Dad!
Bought a book.

Bob and Betty Biggenwhite

Came home for lunch and basically lazed around until 4:45 when I walked over to Kims.
Mia was already there, we chatted and gossiped, then Kim did my makeup :)
Nick came over, and we settled down to watch Beowolf.

Kim: I want to jump on his tail!

Mia: Awww, I was hoping it would be chicken.
NotMia: In the golden chest?!

Wrote our own subtitles for that, then finally left for downtown.
Watched some singers at LG, had some minor confusion about who Genny was with, then found Daniel and John too.
Went to Crobar! Used my valid id card :D
Sang Journey, took pictures, sat on high places... good stuff.
Left in time for the last bus, and got home around 1:30. Love being 18.

George Clooney... Angelina Jolie.

Nick: I would have to say Ross. Because it's nice to know that sometimes the good guy can get everything he wants.
Me: I'll accept that. That's some honourable reasoning.
Nick: And you... let me guess... Chandler.

Happy Birthday!!
Long day of classes, and of getting ditched.
Went to the computer lab during break and read way too many pages of drunk texts.
Had an extremely boring Philosophy class, but got to chat with my friends, so... it was almost alright.

Sammie: God needs to clean out his bong.

Left! Waited for Genny and bussed home with her :)
Family waited for me for dinner, so Mom got home with the pizza right after I walked in.
Ate, then had cake and opened presents!

Ooop.
French presentation!
Went awesome :)
It's especially satisfying when you can make people laugh in a different language.
Got myself a hot chocolate to celebrate.
AC after... boo.

There should be no prayer at pubic meetings.

Though we did see the most epic typo ever.
Almost convinced everyone to leave and eat fries at McDonalds instead of sitting in class for another hour and a half... but then realised she was only handing out the assignment at the end of class. Booo.
Finished a little early anyway, and went home.

What the Darkness??
First day back after daylight savings was quite shocking.
Started Oedipus in English class, very fun.
Someone gave an irritatingly long presentation in Humanities, thankfully the teacher finally interrupted so we could leave.
Dad picked me up!
Home for yummy lunch, and then bumming around until I had to go back. Boo.
Home, dinner, Xfiles, sleep.

Deck The Halls...
A little early, no?
Up in the morning to the doctors, where some man was having way too good a time in the room next to me.

Doc: I guess it's better than someone screaming in pain, eh?

Man1: Hey Bob!
Man2: Hey! It's been a while!
Man1: Sure has. Workin hard or hardly workin?
Man2: Ah, you know how it is.
Man1: Don't I!

Got what I needed and left, made pretty good time.
Over to Fairview for some birthday shopping :)
Dress, shirt and sweater, yay! Also picked up some stuff for Dad.
Good day.

Blow Us
BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY!
Thanks, Matt.
Woke up older :)
Got a few phone calls, including one from Katie - who started off my day wonderful and ended it with hysterical laughter.
Voted in the afternoon!! That was so exciting. Felt great.
Walked to the bank and back, enjoyed the great weather.
Dad and I failed at cake making, but it was still delicious.
Anne called! Talked to her for a while :)
Then Chloe called! Didn't talk to her for long enough...
Poppa came over after getting stuck in traffic, then Nana and Mom and Muffin. Mormor arrived shortly after and then I got to open presents!!

They want you to have a good time while being safe.

Rest of dinner, cake and chocolate on the couch. Happy birthday to me.

You are sweet like candy corn, and the best boyfriend in town.

Halloween!!!
Mall with Avery in the afternoon to pick up some last minute supplies + some super awesome foam swords.
Then homework for a while, until it was finally time to get ready!
Got all dressed up, then walked over to Avery's in the wind to meet her and Geedi in their wonderful costumes: Wingmen!
I love you guys. So much.
Over to Jess's [where someone had to sit in the middle] and then Sarah's, where a scary person almost tried to get in our car.
Sat in her room for a while, just talking.

Geedi: Guys... take these jellybeans away...

Moved to the living room, danced to the Time Warp, Michael Jackson, Spice girls and Journey.

Kim: It feels like there's a finger in my ear, but that finger is a sausage.

Daniel: Looks like Sarah got close to you.
NotSarah: Not close enough.

NotJayme: Dammit! I almost got him to put a towel in his mouth.

And I was the designated interrupter for Nick D and Mia. Sorry guys.
Decided to leave with Jess, Avery and Geedi around 11:15, better to fall asleep in my own bed then on Sarah's floor.

Avery: Just gonna lock my door...

And then Nick L gave me his philosophy on life and everyone said happy birthday at midnight :)
Love you all.

Congrats!
Special dinner for Nick - finished his stage and graduates!
Woop.
LOVED the Halloween costumes at school!
Wario, Luigi, Mario and Waluigi rocked, yet I felt very out of the loop with that other group of people...

NotWaldo: Waldo! I found you!!
Waldo: Eeep! *runs away*

Hung out with Zombie Kim for a while and then went to French class.
"Oui!"

Thursday Is Invisible
Long classes, return of the Personal Project.
Matt during break!

SecurityGuard: You can't do that here.

He bought me a second birthday gift: milkshake.
I truly am the luckiest girl in the world.
Went back to the drugless drug store, and then, of course, McDonalds.
Old arguments and Zac Efron's hair.
Class and then home.

Hold On To Your Phone
Started late which is always nice.
Talked about the Rocky Horror Picture show and watched some boring movie.
I'm glad someone caught my HIMYM reference.

What do I usually do with my hands?!

Snooze
Back to school, things happened.

Teacher: Don't let your essay suffer from coitus interuptus.

Home for sleep and then back for Philosophy... bleh. Had hot chocolate, at least.

BUTTERS
Happy birthday, Katie!!!!!
[even though this post is so so late]
Have an absolutely wonderful year <3>

Celebratory

2009-10-25T18:58:00.000-07:00

Burns the Builder
My birthday is 1/4 over.
Over to Nanas to celebrate the fall babies!
[Even those who couldn't be present]
Played some frisbee and football in the wind, then complained about hunger on the walk back.
Nick walked along beside us in his car.
Poppy seed cheese bread!! Yummm.

Butter soup eaten with a stick of frozen butter. With a glass of cream on the side.

Woody: Animal in a can!

Nick: So you don't eat steak?? How can you not eat steak??
Annik: I don't eat steak.
Nick: What about bacon??
Annik: I don't eat bacon.

NeitherNickNorAnnik: SHE DOESN'T EAT MEAT.

Singing, then delicious [meat] cake, tea, watching Formula One, then done. Boo.
Home to do some work... booo.

Provoked some panic.

I Am Jacks...

brAVERY
Bagel hunting in the morning! Returned with deliciousness, and ate it with cream cheese. Yumm.
Went over to Fairview with Mom and Nick, fail shopping once again.
Nick got shoes, though.
Tried to do some homework... talked about circus sex instead.
Jess's after dinner for Fight Club, would you rather and Do Date or Dump.

Insectlopaedia.

Asshole.
Became a replacement for someone else.
Unevenful classes... read in the library during break, then French class which I should have skipped.

You guys sounded like a choir!

Kick-started the Journey singing for the day... got let out early and hit up the mall, fail shopping.
Returned to school to find that I'd forgotten the paper I needed to bring... dammit.
Went home.
Met Avery after dinner, ran in the cold, had some bus confusion then got off to meet Geedi.
Waited, and continued the Journey singing.

Avery: Stop singing.

More running in the cold and bus confusion, but we finally made it to Timmys :)
Sat, chatted, drank, played cards. Good stuff.

Bake table
Geedi: I just got that.

Action Snail [Shelly]

2009-10-22T18:12:00.001-07:00

TOO EARLY
Gahhhhh.
Saw Jess and Geedi in the morning! Bonus: they saw me, too :)
Got to school and discovered no escalators were open for usage... at all. Ugh.
Later discovered that was because the roof had caved in and shit was falling all over, yes, including water.
Had some massive pileups on the staircases.
Sat for a very long time, but impressed a teacher so it was all good. Talked about how ghetto my school was in a class called Truth.
Was getting sold notepads by some guy who kept winking at me...

They're only two dollars... and a blowjob.
Matt: I like how we both said that at the same time.

Taught someone how to be a card-wielding temptress, went to McDonalds, searched for drugs and then walked the mall for a bit.
Invented a new action hero... to save the action day.
Left Philo early after the assignment, but had to wait in the snow for the bus. Sigh.
Apple crisp for dessert, though.

NotMe: I want to have sex.
Me: Me too. Let's go.

...and I don't picture you in the bathroom.

Huggies!
Productive morning!
Showered, went to the bank, and finished up homework. Went off to school for an amusing French class and an abnormally short long class.
They always go by quicker when she doesn't talk.
Bus home with Daniel, reliving the Meadowbrook days and wistfully watching Geedi.

Make Her Love You
Tuesday... Tuesday. Oh Tuesday.
Back into the week, good mark in English [only slightly bitter this time] and then not much else.
Went home and bummed around, then back to school - just a few minutes late.
More bore, then home.
I don't recall it as being a bad day, though...

EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!

2009-10-19T18:09:00.000-07:00

Visitor
Wonderful sleep and up too early in the morning.
But really not early at all.
Out with Dad - committed some minor thievery [finally!] and walked the mall.
Home for mini pizza and Muffin!
Got a bunch of homework done.

Change

Katie: I bet Patrick's up. Call him.
NotKatie: Patrick......

Blinded by the light.

Woke up tired and hungry. Grabbed the cameras and relived last night in bed with Pat and Katie.
Our cravings for bagels were too overwhelming, so we made it upstairs to wake up Friend Nick and Annik. Brother Nick made it up not too long after.
Sat around for a while recovering, said goodbye to Friend Nick, and then slowly packed up to leave - pretty much exactly 24 hours after arriving.
Said goodbye to Katie :(
Shotgunned the backseat and enjoyed the car ride home, pointed out the water park on the way.
Arrived back in Lachine at the exact same time as Nick! Weird.
Remained in pajamas for the rest of the day, and crashed pretty early. Totally worth it.

Cousin Photoshoot!!
Woke up excited!!
Got all my stuff packed up and then expected to have to wait around for a while, but Pat showed up early! Made sure we had the right directions and then set out on the road with our Munchies and juice boxes.

Shredded Wheat and porridge... the diet of the elderly.

Made it into Ottawa in the early afternoon to little fanfare. No banner. No lunch.
Just Katie :)
Took a really long walk around Ottawa, saw some sights... violent knife holders and women with stray cats.
Not to mention crabby wheelchair women.
Back to the house and watched all the Buckethead movies!

Katie [Woody]: MY EYE!!

Huge marshmallow Katie.

Dubbed in our own words for the first three, then moved downstairs for the last one with actual volume.

Fun anecdotes. Fun fun.

Back upstairs to the window to watch curious people peer into Katie's bedroom window, quite obviously.
Nick and Annik arrived after we were all hungry, and we walked over to Katie's favorite place, which was extremely hot and slow and had intense hand driers but was very delicious.
Walked back home and Robyn was waiting outside! The party had begun!
Played Sociables as more people arrived, couldn't look anyone in the eye or say any names.... ahhh!!
And then we all looked like pirates. You're welcome.
Named our [non-red] cups.
Put on music, danced, became hicks...

HickKatie: He's from Brampton, Ontario.
What's it called? When you mix the milk and butter? What's it called with the butters? What's it called?!
I think they love each other.

TheMan: Hi. I'm a vegetarian.

Michael. Miaayayayayaychel.

Sent sneaky text messages, shhhh.
Married people and had intense singalongs to Panic! At The Disco.

NotMe: What's Pat doing?
Me: Staring at the wall.

Had a Jos Louis birthday cake!! Thanks Pat :)

NotAnnik: So... you're sure your brother's not gay?
Annik: I'll ask Melissa.

Finally crashed [much to the disappointment of Friend Nick] around 3:30... chatted in bed until 4:00... I love life.

For Narnia!!

2009-10-16T20:53:00.000-07:00

__________
School, reviews, failed presentations. Ugh.
Day-making costumes, early birthday gifts and "Oui!" made it worth it though!
Bus home with Elana, then dashed into the shower and got ready in time to make it to Kims.
She did a wonderful job on everyone's makeup :)
Sat around, chatted, looked and felt all classy. Debated ditching the ceremony alltogether.
...instead I ran barefoot down the street in order to catch the bus.
Didn't make it, but got on the next one and got to school early!
Saw everyone... ohhed and ahhed.
Took an incredibly long time to get into a simple line.
FINALLY the ceremony started!

Don't trip, don't trip, don't trip...

No one tripped :) Or clapped or cheered... until the end.
Got my high school leaving! And award! Woop.
Reception after, fun!
Talked to Campbell for a very long time, totally worth it and really flattering. Thankful.
Schwartz, Evans, Cote... Courtney Brown!!!

NotMe: I'm hugging you again... and going for the bra this time.

Ohman.
Over to Jess's after for wine and chips. A classy combination.
Talked for a while, really nice.
Sighhhhhhhh. Goodbye, highschool. We're done now.

Third Group

2009-10-15T16:17:00.000-07:00

Regress
Two three-hours back to back, don't remember a thing.
Except it was extremely cold...
Break with Melissa, Matt, Andrew, [accent] Sean and a few other guys.

Me: She doesn't watch TV...
Matt: Just because she doesn't watch the shows you watch!
Me: Okay fine, she watches like... Touched By An Angel.
Matt: ...wow. She really doesn't watch TV.

It's a Loyola reunion! ...and Anna.

Sat in the food court and coloured. Scribbled and bitched at people for touching things.

NotMe: Me, Life and Karma. The ultimate trifecta of bitchiness.

Matt: There goes all my stealthy efforts...

Enjoyed that and our Meadowbrook [Ghettobrook] reunion until it was time to go back to class... boo!
Boringness, then home. Fast bus, woop!

2009-10-14T17:56:00.000-07:00

Inconvenient
Nana and Poppa over to drop off Muffin!
She's so HUGE now.
Wanted to get my hair recut, but no luck there. Procrastinated about homework... got most of it done.
Convocation rehearsal after dinner... back to high school and nothing changed.
Picked up a gown and an awkward hat.

Me: So our friendship is based on ignorance, I have a good feeling about this.

Home and stuff.

Whip It Good
Went to the movies with Mom in the afternoon on a spur-of-the-moment thought, yay!
Got there just in time for the lights to dim, go us.
Inspiration roller derby movies rock!
Had some fun remembering earliest memories on the drive over :)
It's weird, the things that stick in your brain.

Cool
Not as good as I'd expected.
Today was Monday... I was abnormally tired [turkey hangover?] and napped for a good portion of the day.

Spread The Love

2009-10-10T20:32:00.000-07:00

JAM Session
Up and driving... ugh.
Over to Mia's for Beatles, Seinfeld and girl talk :)

Dig a Pony!

Rocked out for a few hours, then took the bus home with Avery in the sporadic rain.
Over to the Grahams, totally awesome food.

Sam: Turkey turkey turkey turkeeeyyyyyy.

Stayed and chatted for a while after everyone else, then piled into the car and drove home.
Happy Thanksgiving, Canada :)

Wander
Was roused early... too early. Drove out to Abbott with Dad and Noodle, then stopped by Nana and Poppa's and then drove home again.
Took about two hours.
Then I pretty much sat around for the rest of the day... yep.
Met Avery and Genny in the dark and headed over to Jayme's, weeeew!
Throwing popcorn, watching Jayme drink too much, Dazed and Confused... good times :)

GROUP HUG!!! Sex talk: How about Mather? I'm pretty sure we've ALL imagined that.

And many people had an Excellent time.
:)

HAVE A GOOD DAY

2009-10-09T21:34:00.000-07:00

WHAT A HORRIBLE PHOTO
Free hugs!!!! This made my entire day.
It was a pretty eventful day, too. Started off well with an excellent English class about blowjobs and Satan, followed by a free hug.

You usually have to pay.

The Humanities where I kicked ass at the second half at the midterm AND 0n a cool twist of fate, redeemed myself on the first by getting answer wrong. LOVE IT.
Then another free hug!
Then I got lost for a while but it turned out in my favor cause I got to go to HMV.
Bought some wonderful shirts, then met Mom and got most of my Halloween costume! Woop!
Drove around for a while with Dad quite successfully, and went to the library.
Then had a minor accident with Mom, got my hair cut, bought [popular] snack mix and went home.
Matt's! Friends clips

"Ross buys a new couch" - I can't believe that's what found it.

and Wall-E until it depressed Katie too much.
Beer pong! First matches I've ever witnessed :)
Got confirmation for something Katie already knew, and enjoyed the nudity of others. What a great night.
Beer helps my blog writing, I think.

Categories: Things you can make with a cactus!!!!

NotMatt: Never have I ever... made out with a member of the same sex.
Matt: I KNEW it!

BORING
What is with these horrible photos for good days?
Sat for six hours, mildly interesting. Got some unfortunate marking scheme news.
Hung out with Matt and Christina during break and relived great times.

*Zelda's lullaby*
More cactus!
This looks like an angry whale!

Had to go to class... ugh. Philosophy. 100%, woop!
Matt stole my wallet and glasses so I couldn't leave... so I took the bus home with Jayme, Kim and Daniel

Will you do me before convocation?

that was fun, hadn't seen them in a while. Got home late though.

Welcome
Started late today... yep. Got great news in French class, and then was a super duper punky rebel for the test in AC. I'm so cool.
That's about it, I think. Made plans to make plans with Dana.

Blue shirt day!!
Live video feed of a mountain range via webcam.

Hey, all of these are associated with body parts! Hand, eye, wood... OH. Not wood. Abdomen. Heh.

Having a pair of guys in my bed wouldn't encourage my studying... except maybe biology.

Actually A Nice Person

2009-10-06T18:51:00.000-07:00

DOWNtown.
Morning darkness makes life sad.
Bright Lady makes life happy :)
Made some politically incorrect jokes with Matt about invisible children

Are they deaf, too?
No - leprechauns have those pots of gold.
You can't see their sad little faces

way to start off the morning, team Offensive.
Got English test back... alright. Was a helpful student with carrying books and stuff. Chatted with Ann :)
Humanities midterm... shit. Definitely not what was expected. Better luck Friday!
Break and home, soup, Nicks, and plans.
Met Avery and bussed back in! With our supreme timing.

UncoolKids: Look how cool that guy looks. I wish I was that cool.

Teacher: Oh dear!

Bunch of pieces of gum on a stick.

Survived philosophy, showed Avery around, took a cool picture, listened to Matt vent about mop ladies, and went home.

Flashback: Ciggory!

____________________

How's the mono?
Better if I were sharing it with you.

NeverMind
Useless, pointless day. Lots of waiting for no reason. Done.
Got some homework done, and helped out, as is my duty.

Anger: No nookie-nookie on your birthday!

Super Giant Big Big

2009-10-04T18:45:00.000-07:00

Follow You Anywhere
Up and showered, then waited for people to arrive.
Nana, Poppa, Muffin.... then Andrea and Kelly.

NotAndrea: Do you know where we're going?
Andrea: No.
NotAndrea: ...maybe you should follow us instead.

Made it to the [totally out of the way and random] place, and had a lovely walk.

Giant snails!!

Why is that man standing like that?
Frozen running pose man, AHHAH.

[Garden gnome] Poppa watching the planes, awww.

Had some confusion as to what lunch plans were, as usual. Figured things out and went to the pet store to find a rat.
...not for lunch.

Poppa: Is Sandra edible?

Didn't find one after all, but home for Subway! Left in time for the Frey arguments to start. Phew.
Met Avery, back home for a moment to drop off stuff, then was oddly late.
But not quite as late as Mia.
Enjoyed time there, then moved to McD's for a bit, then walked home.
Planned birthday party! Woop. And decided on costume. Double woop!
Goodnight, world.

[We got one thunder boom tonight. Close...]

Stangers Waiting

2009-10-03T19:14:00.000-07:00

Going Anywhere
Up lazily, realised I had very little I needed to do, so I did none of it.
Went to the mall with Avery after lunch because I knew I had to do something... and I needed a folder.
Tried on hats [that didn't fit] and sunglasses, looked at [shockingly small and expensive] books and bought chocolate at the Dollar Store :)
Home again, dinner and then tv with everyone - Jack Black!

Flashback: YOU wear UNDERWEAR?!

A Small Town Girl
Woke up [CLICK] in total pain. This is not normal.
Couldn't make it to class, stayed home with painkillers and hot water bottles instead. Boo.
Dragged myself in for French because I had a test... but forgot my textbook. Boo.

You look different today... a little stiff.

Was first in line for the bus on the way home, even though an old man tried to cut me off for the spot. Take that, old man.
No sex talk today.
Home and made plans with Kim and Mia, yay! It's been a while.
Headed over to Kim's after dinner, Daniel and Mia already there. Finished Kill Bill and then made drinks. Nick showed up.
Ransacked the house, finding... porn and numchucks... then stepped outside.

Bake up smiles!!

I would do Jack Black.

Me: Guys! You know what would be so good? Chocolate covered popcorn.
Others: Ewwwwwwww.

Kim: I want to tease her bush.

80's music! Woop, Journey.

NotKim: You have mini Toblerone bars?
Kim: That's all I have, man, that's all I have.

...they're not making any noise in there anymore.

Daniel was headed to the dep so I volunteered to be generous in turn for a walking partner. Lovely night :) Got home early.

Are You Sensitive?

2009-10-01T18:16:00.000-07:00

Company
Today was a day in which:
I panicked in the morning and rushed to get a paper done which I had forgotten was due today.
I missed my bus and had to catch a later one.
I forgot the library wasn't open until 8.
I studied briefly.
I bonded with an old friend over a staple.
I handed in an important document.
I sat for nearly 6 hours in a row.

Teacher: To any black people... there are none present - OH, sorry.

I used a microwave.
I received an early [or, no, ONLY] birthday present from someone who spends alone time only with me.

Child surprise!

I feel like she doesn't want to sit with us.

Matt and I got ditched without warning.
We decided it was time for milkshakes.
Ross and Rachel prevailed above all, especially Seth and Summer.
Scribbled out a philosophy test.
I managed to look over people twice while looking farther into the distance.
Bumped into a friend whom I always enjoy seeing.
Was cold.
I learned wayyyy too much about someone's sex life for not even knowing their name until the end of it.
I was happy :)

Some days it's that way and some days it's the other.

Family Affair

2009-09-30T18:06:00.000-07:00

Goodbye, September
I saw some house put up Halloween decorations!!!
Went to tha bank and changed in all my change for real money - I'm so rich.
Had fun family time before I had to leave for school, Dad painted the bathroom!
And I had to have a stupid cold shower. Bah.
Ran in to Paws AGAIN, and then had a wonderful French class filled with more actual French work than we did in a month last year.
AC after that... ugh. Bitched with Dana then spent the class writing to Katie instead of actually paying any attention.
Thankfully we got out early, but unfortunately there was traffic. Still, got home in time to eat with the rest of my family :)
Stuff and more stuff... and now Fred is roaming my room somewhere. Uh oh.

Dana: What do we do in this program? We write about how gardens make us feel.

Suckle
Big day! Met Mom downtown after some phone confusion, then went over to les Ailes to do some shopping :)
Stopped at Burger King to eat our lunches, and Mom got rather disturbed when some man apparently groaned at me...
Walked in the rain back underground and did some more shopping, bought scarves!
No bag, though. Someday.
Got back to Atwater and crossed the street in a downpour over to Second Cup where we sat and gossiped over iced hot chocolates. Yummm.
Back to class and Mom went home... sigh.
Good, long day :)

Room Mate

2009-09-28T18:02:00.000-07:00

Hello, Fred.
As long as you stay in that corner, we're cool.
No hosting parties, either.
Got done today many things that should have gotten done earlier, plus some unplanned things.
...that's pretty much it.

Doesn't Stop Us From Trying

2009-09-27T19:36:00.000-07:00

I've Gone Overboard, I Think.
Even for me.
Tried to convince Mom to take me out today, but instead we had a movie day!
She vetoed I Love You, Man, though. Boooo.
So, I sat all day.
Then had several very interesting conversations with friends... ;)
Then outdid myself on something else. I need to get rid of this thing soon.

Everything you wanted to know about blowjobs while driving!

I Got That Very Wrong

2009-09-26T20:01:00.001-07:00

Odd-Shaped Head
I accomplished very little official work today.
But I did what made me happiest.
Went out with Mom in the morning to pick up some stuff, then home.
Talked with Katie, who I am so very proud of!

[You're all man to me, baby]

Got an interesting proposition from someone else ;)
Enjoyed the thought of that.
Met with Avery and walked over to Jess's for tv show night!
Shared some shocking news, watched tv, chatted, held up fingers and ate a lot of stuff.
Good times.

Jess: That's what she said.
Me: Good one!
Jess: That's the first one I've ever said!

We like the badasses.

NotDD: He's so big.

Everywhere!
Today was a day of tests.
English, easier than I thought, though I wrote a lot less than some people. But at least my grammar was good!
Humanities, watched part of the Fly again during the test, was the first to leave again.
Went further downtown during break, walked along St. Cath's and then back to eat and go to
French, where we had - yes, another test. Left early and caught the bus home with Theo.

Me: So, you have.... one younger brother? Oh, wait, I feel like that's very wrong.

Pretty short bus ride, then home to shower, eat and leave to meet Geedi on the bus.
Did that, caused a lineup outside the theatre for no reason, met Genny and watched the play!

Stories without endings

Nice arms ;)

Freezing cold room!!

Bussed home with incredibly rude children [karma's a bitch, hahaha] and then, to Mia's delight, met up with her and the rest of them for a bit!
Witnessed Sarah's legendary chip catch - that in itself was worth it.
Felt like I was back in high school... with a few differences.
Got home late and slept perfectly.

Shun

2009-09-24T16:46:00.000-07:00

Themes of the Day: Me Being Disturbing and Cactuses
Two three hour classes back to back = sore legs.
Got papers back, I love when teachers like me :)
Met Matt for break - yes!
Almost challenged a Latino gang to a dance off... but then picked off young Colin instead.

Cracktus
Coitus cactus
Practice cactus/Word bird
Distractus [for the ninjas]
Yamacactus [for our Jewish friends]
Cactus interactus
Whacktus

Went to McDonalds after he pinpointed what he was craving, and had misadventures in the washroom.

Boy: And then this short guy with an eyepatch comes in and starts checking me out with his good eye. What do I do with that?

Girl: So then this woman walks in with a peg leg and a parrot...

Entertained myself in Philosophy with odd breathing instructions, and then home.

PeeWee: Was that a big piece of pie or what!

Cleanlinasty. [Wednesday, September 23rd]

2009-09-23T17:56:00.000-07:00

Public Notice
Late start today, much appreciated.
Finished up homework then caught the bus in.
Checked out some sweet posters, longed after them with an equally broke Paws, then headed off to French class.

Me: My chair sounds like a baby dinosaur.

Madison and I made excellent partners, even teaming up for the longest sigh of exasperation over our homework assignment.
After that I had Intro to AC, ughhh.

NotMe: My Wednesdays are so long...
Me: Ugh, me too. Well, just this part.

NotLea: There are metal or plastic rods called 'boning' and -
Lea: That's not the definition of 'boning' I know.

But that ended eventually and freedom was ours!
Bus home, walk in the rain and then wonderful food.

My Life Is Average

2009-09-22T18:38:00.000-07:00

And You
Had the luckiest morning ever: narrowly avoided falling spiders AND falling bird shit.
Then re-payed my good karma by sheltering a woman from the storm.
Crowded smelly bus on the way to school, catching Erica on the metro and being astute in English :)

Patricia: How are you?
NotPatricia: Fine. Wet.
Patricia: Rrrrawwnrr!

Got Humanities assignment back, sweet. Watched part of The Fly!
Went home, made soup and pizza, finished homework and looked up a website I found in the bathroom.

TOTALLY worth it.
:D

Went back to school... got there late so had to sit in the front next to a boy... oh what hardship.
Group work, meh.
Home, Emily, Avery, pirates and dinner.
A good first day of the week.

You got my back. ...or my front.

Horizon[tally]

2009-09-21T18:36:00.000-07:00

Zoom
Family activities ftw.
Driving around with Mom, Dad and Noodle in the morning for a few hours, nice :)
I love car rides.
Stopped at Harveys on the way back to pick up lunch, then home for a few minutes before heading off to the SAAQ.
Renewed my license with some really flirty guy and then waited in Timmy's for an hour before Mom picked me up.
Pharmaprix and then home to finish up some essays... almost.
Dinner, shower, more essays... and no one I care about slept with a stripper. Sweet relief.

DefinitelyNotMe: Would you like it if I called you Daddy?

A Lover

2009-09-20T18:56:00.000-07:00

...Wait A Second.
I know that place! What's it doing in a movie??
:)
Made that discovery this morning.
Walked over to DD in the sun with Avery, narrowly avoiding a car crash.
Caught up with people and shared a taste of Dawson with them, ahha. Good stuff.
Walked home again and talked about cupcakes... and other stuff.
Worked on my essay with Katie's help, still not totally sure though.
Breakfast for supper night!
Got a bunch of homework done and feel good.
Better sleep tonight hopefully. You, too.

Talking about people makes me miss them.

Good Line

2009-09-19T18:58:00.000-07:00

YES!
I love weekends.
Up and did an essay after breakfast, took me longer than it should have.
Did some research for another paper, but not as much as I should have. I blame the internet, it's too distracting.
Did my hair, bummed around then went to Chloe's and interrupted.
Chatted with her and Chris, drank tea and then walked them to the bus stop.

At least when I told you I was coming I wasn't lying.

NotMe: I think you guys should hug.
NotMeEither: That just made her so, so happy.

Which kind of makes me feel like a bad person.
No. It makes you awesome.

And one very very dirty picture.

And seeing her just made me so, so happy. It's been too long :)
Home for dinner and the last of a season [finally!].
Said goodbye to Muffin after harassing her with a hairbrush. Good times.

I Want You To[o]

2009-09-18T18:32:00.000-07:00

Too Black
Stupidface rain.
Timbits in English totally made up for it! As did the really touching epiphanies read by braver people than I.
Things said in Humanities that, taken out of context, sound incredibly strange.

You have sex dreams about your mom? That's nasty!

Walk into the room and Susan is masturbating on a pillow during the cocktail party.

...and then she fell off a cliff.

Met with Genny for my hour and saw Mr. Ward!

Me: What if he sees us?
NotMe: We'll run away!

Followed him for a little bit and then I went to class where we ate [almost cooked] cake, introduced ourselves all over again and stated our favorite colour, food, or fact about an animal.

and I'm an alcoholic.

Took the bus with Genny to LA, which was a total fail except for Mr. Cote.
Left, waited at the bus stop [just like old times except completely different] and then home.
Watched Katie&Co mess around with dough for a while :)
And made plans for tomorrow!

Go For Four

2009-09-17T18:06:00.000-07:00

Thanks For The Reminder
Caught the bus with Melissa, no seat for me.
Got to school and Melissa realised she forgot to remind herself of something, so we went in search of a photo booth.
Did that then went to class

NotMe: Want me to move it closer so you can read it?

where I bonded with some guy over his label.

Teacher: You mean there are 18 year old virgins?? WHAT!?

Finished that and then met with Melissa for our own class. Shared snacks and chatted some more about Canadians and the weird things they do. Like drink milk from bags.

NotMe: What has Canada given the world?
Me: Seth Rogan!

Over and out. Bus home with Melissa [where I was a good citizen], lunch and dentist instead of Philosophy! Definitely worth it - I get a free toothbrush here at least.
Everything good, home for spicy dinner and messy puppy, stuff then bed.

Pat vs. All of your friends.

Goodnight Elisabeth

2009-09-16T18:24:00.000-07:00

Eclectic
Late morning, delicious.
Took the late bus in for French and got there exactly on time, making Madison panic.
Test, went well enough I think... though I tend to think that and be wrong.
Three hour AC class, ugh... at least I have people.

NotHer: Do they ride Eskimos in Canada?
Her: ...Eskimos are people. So no.

NotMe: What are 'death' people?
Me: I think she said 'deaf'.

Finally over, freedom!
Bus home with people I know but don't talk to.
Supper I'd been craving, homework, online, tv and bed.

Travels

2009-09-15T18:39:00.001-07:00

This Is Outside
English at 8... never gets any later.
Impressed everyone with my hubris knowledge. Thanks Mrs. Martin.
Humanities after, in class assignment, finished early and left. Woop!
Saw Melissa and commiserated over our broken shelf, awww.
Journeyed to Angrignon mall to pick up my shoes, yay!
Decided I'd just go home instead of back to school.
Got home, ate and napped.
Got up, failed at hot chocolate and went back to school beverage-less.
Saw Kim and Jayme before class and then to Philosophy with a wobbly desk. Sigh.
Caught up with Emily G on the bus on the way home, nice :)
Called Mia for her birthday, ate supper, did not watch Californication [stupid] and bed.

My Beautiful Mistress
Woke up too early for my day off, but for a good cause.
Bussed it out to JA and sat on the steps for a while when.... AVERY!
She brought me to her locker, Geedi met us and then walked us to math class.

Teacher: WELCOME!
Me: Ahh!
Avery: You'll get used to it.

NotAStudent: Can we take a break between talking about women you haven't laid and DO some MATH?!

I miss math class with Avery. Good stuff.
After that headed over to Study Skills where, waiting outside, Avery got too excited about posters.
Went in, met Steve [the girl] and Michelle and then... the sub?
Very entertaining, though he told Avery to get rid of me.
Did the rest of the tour, then back on the bus and over to Lakeside!
Finally got invited to convocation, sat and talked with Labesse.

Avery: What if you died never having had a boyfriend?
NotAvery: I had a boyfriend in grade five...

Found Evans after, yay!

Evans: Looky here. What a horrible surprise.

The dashed down to find Schwartz, but she found us instead.
Chatted in her class most of the period, and then it was time to go.
Told Avery all about my amazing boyfriend, and tried to figure out if she would like my friends or not.

Glee!!

"17"

2009-09-13T18:50:00.000-07:00

Trade
I love both of these ideas.
Went to the mall with Mom in the morning for a short amount of time.
Talked to a friendly graham-savvy woman at IGA then home for a lunch which didn't kill anyone.
Played with Muffin and did a few hours of homework.
Then did something which made me much happier.
This was an uneventful day.

Mystery Frey!

Party!!!
Up early to... ahem... finish some unfinished and urgent business.
Did that, wasn't too late to meet Avery, and we walked over to Geedi's!
Some annoying construction workers made noise every time we tried to speak.
Jess met us there and then we all headed to St. Huberts :)

Jess: Have you been listening to anything we've been saying? What was the last think I said?
NotJess: ...spicy?

Jess: What's a berry?
NotJess: Strawberry... raspberry... anything that ends in berry.
HAHAHHAHAA.

Ate deliciousness then walked back to Geedi's for gifts, games and more deliciousness!
And a wasp.

Group hug!

Dad picked me up to go over to Mormors to say goodbye to Klaus and Beta. Timbits, yumm.
McDonalds for supper [unlike some healthy people I know...] and then homework and other stuff.

Any Time But 2:30

2009-09-11T19:05:00.000-07:00

Why Yes Melissa, I Do Like Tic-Tacs
Matt and I almost spent 23 hours and 59 minutes counting things, but then decided to hold off.
English bright and early - it's a good thing I like that class.
Talked about bears, NYC, and other things like that.
Humanities right after, some guy took my spot, but then he talked to me so it's all good.
Watched Charlie Chaplin! Hahaha.
Break - bought French textbook then read in the caf.
French with Madison and our conjoined desks - near the window this time.

Me: That's the perfect plot for Bring It On 5! Cheer rehab!

NotMe: Wow, you went to school in the ghetto.

Picked up a copy of The Plant as I left.
Took two hours to get home... thanks a lot, traffic.
Was in an extremely bad mood, but cheered up after food.
Worked on something special :)

NotKatie: I have plans tonight... with myself. Not dirty ones.

Watched Glee - hahah. That was fun.
Night.

Hey Sexi

2009-09-10T17:59:00.000-07:00

Empire
Up in a bad mood but the day got much better!
School and Matt, but he left as I was unable to open my lock. He got back just in time to see my victory.
As I was doing his project for him he read some crazy messed-up story involving poorly hidden treasure and dismembered siblings.

NotMelissa: Do you have scissors? Bring them to me!
Melissa: No, but I have glue.
NotMelissaEither: Well that's the opposite of what we need, thanks.

Me: I have.... nothing in here that we could use.

That ended, sadly, and class started. Vodka, living in shacks and Friends! Not to mention...

Teacher: Can you name a musical group that has been such a phenomenon as The Beatles?
Student: Blink 182!
Me: HA!

Got an answer right and felt pretty clever :)

Met Melissa and Shmee Shmee, went to McDonalds and interacted with a very friendly McServer as we bought our hot chocolate. Shmee made a phone call and then walked us to class.
Created our empire of desks.

Adam and Eve... hmmmm.

Ate lunch outside and then just as I thought I was going to be alone... Matt and Emily invited me out for coffee!

Matt: Remember when it was just us?
Me: Good times.

Emily: Why do you always make fun of me?
Me: Well he's not going to make fun of me.
Matt: Yeah, why would I make fun of Anna? It's just not going to happen.

Left to go to class.... sigh.
But the teacher couldn't get the movie working so we wasted a bunch of time and then had a short lecture.
Crowded bus, but got to eat supper with people :)

We want to hear about your day!

Sunshine In A Bag-ness

2009-09-09T18:23:00.000-07:00

Colours!
I can be so anal, sometimes.
[what's with all these words today? Proactive, dichotomy, anal... good stuff.]
Showered and then shopping with mom!
Bought shoes and jeans, wore shoes for the day, realised they were too small, will exchange them.
Jeans, on the other hand, are perfect :)
Mom dropped me off [after I made embarrassing 'overpass' arm gestures] at the metro station and I got to school in time to hang out with Madison a bit before going to class.

NotMe: I love her sweater. It's like a cape. Woooshhhhhh.
Me: That's what my day was lacking - sound effects! Especially of the cape variety.

French was fine, and Intro to Arts only lasted an hour - woop!
Sometimes I love life.
Home really early. Anne came over with Jen! Talked with them for a bit.

Sunions.

They left, we ate, I walked Noodle - weird to have enough time and energy to do things like that - did some homework then watched tv. Bed.

Mr. N

2009-09-08T18:15:00.001-07:00

Back At It
Ran for a [free] bus and got a window seat, score.
Finished some homework before class, then enjoyed another English class which contained something only Avery will appreciate.
Humanities after that - 90% on the assignment we had! Woop.
Looked at slides and discussed art.

DefinitelyNotMe: Oh my God, last night I dreamed my penis was a hockey stick!

Then ate lunch, went to the bookstore, watched a band, and took the metro [all by myself!] to Berri-UQAM to pick up the French novel I need.
Back to school and met Jayme, Kim and Genny. Headed over to the food court and planned out birthdays :)
Went to Pharmaprix.

Me: I can honestly say I've never hung out in this section of Pharmaprix before.

NotGenny: I got chocolate!
Genny: I don't want chocolate.
NotGenny: That's not what your mom said!
Genny: ...that doesn't make sense.

Genny left us, and Kim Jayme and I went to Berri to pick up Kim's book... repeat.

Me: That's my COUSIN!!

Weird seeing people out of regular context...
Back to school, saw Matt the Truant and sat in the caf for a while where I checked people out and Kim didn't listen to me.
Class, which thankfully was just a movie and finished early, and then home.

Horrible Day
Today is the day after fun.
Had an irritating eye problem - not being able to see - for a bit, and told Katie about it.
Got very scared when she mentioned migraines, so went to lie down in bed.
Fell asleep and woke up with a headache that stuck around for the rest of the day.
At least I could see.
Nana and Poppa over to pick up their car, and as they were leaving I got stung by a bee.
I think I handled this one much better than last time.... :P
Packed that with ice and read philosophy.
Fun definitely not included.

Support!!
Sacks unite!
Pancakes in the morning, delicious as always. Woke up so early I had to have two breakfasts.
Kids were mistakenly shunned from their own meeting so we waited patiently until worldball time.
Sacks vs. Granny Panties again and the Sacks are victorious times three!

We're working so well as a team right now!
Don't jinx it!!

SACK ATTACK

Katie and I staked our the barbeque to obtain our desired type of meat, score.
Then she proved her mom wrong by indeed having a daddy long leg on her foot.
Bittersweet victory?
After lunch work started getting done with the dock being taken out, sailboat being put away and rusty rods toted about. Katie Annik and I took a walk out the road.

NotMe: His name is Patrick Yves.
Me: That's funny.
NotMe: Uhh... OH! Hahahah.

Me: This picture contains no fun at all. Fun not included.
Pat: Fun sold separately.
Katie: I look silly.

Back in time for the LaGrave car to leave, awww.
Sad big goodbyes to Brenda and Emily - good luck in Toronto!!
Woody, Terrianne and Peter left shortly after, but the rest of us stayed for dinner.

Me: Could your side of the table be more crowded?

Things moved quickly after dinner with the three cars leaving at the same time.
Got home and jetted over to Daniels with Genny and Kim to watch tv. Conti and Nick D showed up later and broke stuff.
Walked Genny to the bus stop after...

Me: What's that noise??
NotMe: It's a basketball.
Me: Imagine it was just a basketball, all alone, bouncing?
NotMe: Stop it!!

Roasting Pam Anderson

Walked home myself and then fell asleep. Yum.

Note The Socks
Another beautiful day! Thank you, weather. We needed this.
Played some worldball in the morning, beat by the Panties. Dammit.
The Burns showed up later, followed by Brian with impeccable timing!
Nick broke his thumb in the forest and narrowly missed popping his junk, Brenda got tossed overboard the sailboat, Yves got a smack in the head from the boom and Nana has a big swollen hand.

Me: If you're going to go in to anaphalactic shock, this is the time to do it.

Got back on the court once the rest of the cousins returned from the parade and proved ourselves worthy of the Sack name.
Had some excellent games, and then all retired for drinks.

Me: That worked really well, for what it was.
[three-person handshake]

Pat: It looked like a... booby.

Poppa: Yes! Yes! YES YES YES!!

Played a round of What's On My Back with countries, and there were no embarrassing failures.
Delicious sausages and corn, and then a tasty frozen desert made by Kelly and squished by Ernie.
Cleaned up and separated by sexes to compete in a crossword challenge.
Simultaneous finish but the females come out victorious after all! Woop!
And, once more, we need to argue about seal clubbing.
Many cousins headed out the road with beer.

Arabic beer bottle blowing sequence.
Emily: I'll come in with the lead vocals!

ARE YOU FROM LONDON?!

Pat: I have a game! Who can make sense of Emily?

I'll throw my whorebag in the fire, and guess what - there's room for one more!

Went back and sat around the fire for a bit making s'mores and shoving logs. Surprise fireworks and then bed.

Bear Trail
Up early, as usual. Yummy breakfast.
Heard reports of bear sightings out the road, so to keep Emily safe we drove her up the big hill.
Caught a glimpse of the mama and her cubs as we drove past, and then stopped on the way back to wait for them to return. Some Yellow pickup man had the same idea...

CreepyOldMan: Il y a des ours ici.
Brenda: Yeah, there are a few bears.
CreepyOldMan: *creepy old smile and awkward nodding moment*
Brenda: ...alright.

Sexy moles.

He left after some obvious indecision and the mama bear returned to put on a few circus tricks, rile up Duffy, and eat pizza [boxes].
Back to the cottage after that for a few minutes before we went to pick up Emily and show off our great timing.
Back for... lunch, I guess, and then a hike!

Emily: That tree has an ASS!!

Or balls. It looked phallic to me.
Met some other very nice hikers who Nana and Poppa befriended, but we soon split up with them. Hiked for a while along a very nice trail, Emily practicing her camp counselor skills the whole way.
Got the shit scared out of us by a very large and bear-like dog at the end of the walk, and Emily hid behind me. Thanks.
Realised he was friendly, and christened him Big Dick due to his, well, big dick with which he tried to mount Duffy after being told off by Noodle.
Poppa rescued little Duffy and we sped off.
Back to the cottage and Nick was there!
Delicious chicken for dinner and Martha, Yves, Patrick and Annik up later that night!
Katie and I were involved in an intense game of Rummy 1000. I actually maintained my lead this time! Em and Pat tried to insert Uno into our game with no results.

NotPat: Hey - see anything weird going on here? Hmm? Maybe we should move them closer together.
[phones]

Full figured? Oprah? Voluptuous? A lot of all the good stuff? Katie?

Potato doughnut holes... yummm.

Went down to the dock and chilled there for a few hours.

Pat: I drink gin and tonics.

NotPat: Ask me again!!

This is so, horrible, what shall I do.

HickEmily: I'll drown you, motherfucker!

Ottawa: I'm double-fisting!
Montreal: WTF?!

Quacktrick "The Duck Whisperer" Laporte

We should separate the dock and float out to the middle of the lake and have a raft party!

Up and in to the cottage to be more warm and comfy. Ended up going to bed instead to read.
:)

Texty Triplets
This was the longest day of my life.
Up at six, missed my bus, in class at 8:00... out of class at 5:30.
With a ten minute break here and there to run to my locker and grab some food.
Oh, and see Melissa, Genny and Kim for short periods of time :)
Completed my Knowledge assignment easily - that should be a class in which I get good marks. I am optimistic.
Stupid group work in Philosophy, I am extremely pessimistic.
Took the bus home alone and tried not to fall asleep. Called Geedi because it was her birthday!!
Hearing her voice revived me enough to do my English homework and pack.
Hopped in the car with my pjs on, a giant sandwich and the thought of Katie waiting for me.
Beautiful ride up, I love being in the car at night.
Got there, sat down, played Uno, listened to my family chatter, and fell asleep with Emily and Katie.

NotKatie: It's like pain as pleasure. Unhh... awww!... ohhhhhhhhh.... is uncle Ernie coming up this weekend?

You guys aren't going to talk and giggle all night are you?

Pragmatic

2009-09-02T18:18:00.000-07:00

No, YOUR Family's Weird.
Said goodbye to Klaus this morning as he headed off to experience Quebec at La Belle Province.
Did some stuff then got on the empty bus around noon.
Got to school and was misconceived as a burglar by Melissa.
Luckily she didn't hit me with her giant package of crackers.
Sat with her and Jayme for a bit in the caf until it was time for me to go to class, where -

Madison: Anna I am so sorry! I looked everywhere and there is absolutely no left handed desk in here!

I had to struggle. Being different is hard.
Went to the [not-so-exciting] computer lab where I had my first technology impaired moment of the day.
Conjugated verbs for a while, then back to class.
Madison walked me to my next class where the teacher made me extremely tired and frustrated.
Watched Mambo Italiano and then had to stay after class due to her stupidity.
Caught the metro with Lea :)
Home, Nana and Poppa, goodbye to Muffin, relaxing.

Me: ...and here's the attachment I forgot to attach. I'm not usually this impaired, I promise.
NotMe: This email made my day.

Convocation crashers!

You Never Know Till You Know

2009-09-01T18:44:00.000-07:00

Probably No Cameras, Either
Up and on the bus before I really awoke.
Melissa and Katie found me, then Elana too.

NotMe: Anna, you're really smart.
Me: Yes?

Moved along to English! I love that class.
Ann told us stories about women marrying inmates... and then discovering what they were actually in for.

Teacher: And then she... well, nevermind. I've wasted too much time.
EntireClass: NO!!

Humanities after, also good.

OtherTeacher: And why don't more humans quest for knowledge? Well... drinking is fun!

Explained my future absence and picked up work to do. Ugh.
Met up with Matt and Taylor and went to McDo's so Matt could satisfy his craving.
[And so I could satisfy mine. That worked out well.]

NotMe: Why didn't you tell me Geedi said hi?!
Me: Well as you CLEARLY snatched the phone out of my hands before I had a chance to read it...

Me: Who is stealing my phone?

I was Leaf Lad, but you were always Man Woman.

Got attacked by iced coffee and then dripped ice cream on myself... not the best day for clothing.
Did not go to Matt's class, instead went back to the mall and then fell asleep in the library for about an hour.
Woke up in time for Philosophy... where I had a sweet deskmate.
Bussed with Yan and Nick [haha] and unknowingly Erica.
Home. Dinner with family. MSN. Bed.

Me: And garden hoes.
Grandmother: *awkward misinterpreted humping motion*

Girl: I think we have different interpretations of 'hot'.
Boy: Well we both think I'm hot, so... ;)

Avery: Hey, cool ring.
Oh, Lakeside, eh.
Wait - I went there!
What year did you graduate?
Oh, cool.
Me? 2009.
Yeah, I am sexy.
You, too.
Let's hook up, you say?
Is that your hand on my thigh?
Oh, DUDE!

Best part of my day, right there :)

[Santa] Klaus
Very much welcomed this Monday off.
Nana over in the morning with Nick H. to drop off Muffin. Played in the front yard a bit then went shopping with dad.
Home and waited around, then Avery called!

I don't know what I'd be like without you.

Went out with her, ate a delicious supcake and mounted a large yellow tube.
Heh.
Rhymed words and threw disappointingly un-far.
Home for dinner and in bed early.

Trifecta

2009-08-30T18:44:00.000-07:00

Hello Denmark
Klaus over today!
Mom went to pick him up around 2:00, and was back a little later.
He smokes a pipe, hehehe.
Shared pictures with Avery, laughed too much for being alone, and then got... inappropriately aroused.

NotMe: It's okay, we're overly hormonal.

At least we have an excuse.
Not that we really need one ;)
Tested geographical knowledge and made plans for dual scrapbooking.
Anne called! Chatted with her for a very long time, so nice to catch up.
Life is good.

Pus Bubble

2009-08-29T19:09:00.000-07:00

Not This Again
Today doesn't really deserve a picture.
Woke up startlingly to a disgusting sound [which I'm getting used to].
That kind of killed sleep for me.
Went out with Mom and bought some hair products and bus pass.
Came home and laughed about old pictures with Avery until my laptop got a bit too hot and shut down.
Fell asleep.
Woke up a little sad and talked to Katie for a while.

Boys I'm Buying This Round

2009-08-28T19:05:00.001-07:00

Federation Station
Up at six today... ugh.
Bus came on time though, and got to school with enough time to do my English homework before class.
...this is not good, on the first week of school.
Sat with Matt and his friends for a bit, then went to class.

Matt: Oooh, I remember factoring! I'll do it! I also remember... I hate math.

Went to English, which was highly enjoyable and I got quite the supportive round of applause :)
[and met someone whom I must befriend]
Humanities right after that, with weird tissue kid getting extremely argumentative.
I do get a little turned on when people use academic terms for philosophical topics, though.
Had a bit of a break, ate lunch in the mall and then slept in the library. Beautiful.
French with Madison - whole bunch of people left, but neither of us got called :)
Interviewed each other.

Moi: J'ai peur des hauteurs.
PasMoi: You're scared of otters?!

Over and out.
Home and met Beta, cute.
First week is over, feels good. Plan on sleeping lots tonight!

3D
Caught the bus with Melissa and a friend of hers in the [freezing cold] morning, and learned that I actually have a class with Melissa!
Woop woop.
Went to my first class and realised I was back in grade 9 media.
Sat with Kim, Genny and Melissa during our break.

NotMe: It smells like cheese.
NotMeEither: It smells like soup.
NotMe: It smells like... cheese soup!

Genny: Is that the Taj Mahal?
[btw Genny... it's Dawson, I realised.]

Helped Kim out with her art, then Melissa and I headed to class. Found me a lefty desk and settled in with [almost] no guys.

Teacher: Seriously girls, what did you do with all the boys??

Realised, again, that I was in grade 9 media. This is cool - I can hand in the same paper for both classes!
Went to the mall over lunch for a long time with Jayme, Kim, Genny and Ben.

My little dumpling!
:)

Went to Philosophy... the best part about that class was discussing the boy afterward with Genny :P
Survived the giant escalator and went to the premiere!
Got there pretty early and waited in line, then scored some free bubbles. Woop.
So good!

Us: I'm just so happy now!

Got on the metro then said goodbye to Genny and waited for the 191.
Called home and chatted, then the bus showed up.
Was going to read, but... Tony interrupted.

NotMe: You read all of that in three days?! You must not have a boyfriend.
Me: Hahahahaha...haaha...ha... correct.

Tony: How old are you?
NotTony: 17.
Tony: Non!
NotTony: Oui!
Tony: But you look so... experienced. You're too young.

He got off before me so it was all good. Got home and died. The end.

Speaking of love lives... I miss you.

Dammit (I Guess This Is Growing Up)

2009-08-26T18:34:00.000-07:00

Labour Fruit
I don't know how people manage this every day.
Showered and walked to the bank, then home to make a snack and get on the bus.
...which never came.
Got to school finally and did the Opus thing, then waited in line for a while to buy some books, yay!
Waited outside my French class with Madison, chatting about sneaking in bunkbeds for crashing in between classes.
Had to find a special left-handed desk in that room... I think there was only one. Score!
Found Kim and Genny in the book line and talked for a few minutes, then went to my next class, where I was the hero who opened the door first.

NotMe: Thank you for being brave enough to try the door!

Lea: The link said 'Lea' and I thought it was just for me!

Met some new people! Chatted with them for half an hour while we waited for our teacher who never showed up, then exchanged numbers and went home.
Read for English, then relaxed.

Into To Life
First day!!
Woke up before my alarm, unfortunately. Could have used that sleep.
Prepared myself and then caught the bus, which wasn't as awkward as I thought it may be.
Got to school, found my locker, and found Matt!
Assisted him in remembering his locker location [one six divided by two is three!] and then made plans to meet later during my giant break.
Headed toward my first class - English.
I love that class already. Mainly because of the desk standing and armpit hair jokes. I am going to want to impress her :)
Met Ben for a while, then headed back into the same classroom. Sat in the same seat.

Hunting: This probably isn't the place for me to go into detail about my mother issues, but...

Knowledge - I think he'll grow on me. And his disheveled-ness.
And thennnnn - four hours off!
Bought soup and was going to go to the [off-limit] park with Nick, but then saw Matt and Sonia closer instead. Sat outside under a tree [!!! college!!!] with them for a while until the sound of jackhammers got to us.

Me: It's like a maraca full of beans!
NotMe: ...Aren't all maracas full of beans?
Me: Oh.

Sonia went to class, leaving me and him alone. It's scary sometimes how much we're alike.

Us: We're so lazy.

Sat in the caf for a long time, degenerating.

Turtles - a wise but violent species. We have much to learn from them.

Phone, attack!

...this is why no one is around to appreciate our humour.

Oh. You need personality to be on the radio. Guess not.

Matt: That's why I could never date Anna.
Me: Yeah... THAT'S why.

Stalking hot [but not hot enough] boys outside, and had my jokes stolen by people.

I think we've walked into the midst of a French gang...
No one is speaking French!

Finally Matt had to go to class... but I had nothing to do so I went with him.
We thought he had a really great teacher, but it was the wrong one... so instead we got Looksgood Fromfar, who was not quite as amusing, but had a sexy voice.
Philosophy after that, kind of boring, but that may have been my fault.
Went to my locker, had my heart melted by Melissa, and caught the bus home with Sonia.
Home, EAT, sleep.

When You Show Up Late For School

2009-08-24T18:47:00.000-07:00

And Think You're Really Cool
Walked over to Dorval mall around 12:30 to charge my Opus card and then meet Mia for lunch :)
Caught up, gossiped, gushed over boys [heh. hehehe.], same old.

Mia: I feel like we're back in grade seven all over again...

Shopped for books then walked home in the lovely end of summer weather. Sat at the bus stop for a while, got chased by wasps and then went home.
Decided not to go greet Beta and Klaus at the airport, and instead went for a walk with Avery.
Discovered someone had wrecked our spot... so found a new, uncomfortable-on-the-spine one.

Do you have a big stick? Heh. Heh.

Are you looking at those bugs?

Home, sleep early, school tomorrow!

BuzzKill

2009-08-23T20:40:00.000-07:00

Don't Leave Me
Looked at a picture book with Katie in the morning, until we convinced ourselves we could stop.
Sat on the dock for a while and then decided to go swimming.
Did that, attempted to take more pictures of Nick, and then went up for lunch!
Deliciousness, as per usual.
Then Dad and I were the first ones to leave, oddly. Said goodbye, but not for long!
Caught in some major rain on the way home, but also not for long.
Nana and Poppa over later to pick up the car.
Met a very friendly lady at McDo's and listened to amazing music on the way home.
Out with Kim and Sarah after supper! Watched them dance in her room, and then off to meet Daniel, Nick and John.

Sarah: I'm just walking down the street with Anna, putting on deodorant, and Kim here is getting attacked by raindrops.

NotMe: It's raining!!
Me: RUNNN!!!

NotMe: We'll be the Raccoon Crew! Yeah! CC for life!
Me: .... Raccoon doesn't start with a C, NotMe.

I like the way you think.

Let Sarah count, she's really good at it.

You're like a human metronome.

Spent the evening in a [gondola?] gazebo, and finally got ratted out around 10:30.

If those were my drugs, they wouldn't be here.

Cleaned up and took off after that. Split up and Sarah, John and Nick gracefully walked me home :)
Complete with conversations about foot massaging maids and busses in Florida.
Home. Eat. Write this. Sleep.

Blueberry Muffin
Woke up so refreshed.
Breakfast, then sitting. Went over to the swift river in the afternoon and struggled against that current, scraping my poor knee in the process.

SomeoneMean: That knee won't get your picture on the fridge!

Cuddled with Muffin on the way home, then sat in the sun [sans beer] for a while until Katie suggested cards... and then an hour later we actually got around to playing.
KILLED her at Rummy... until she managed to distract me and whisk my aces away. Lost by a few hundred points.

Me: Frey's don't quit!
...well, that's not true. I quit soccer. And gymnastics. And the library.
NotMe: Oh you quit your job at the library??
Me: ...that was LAST summer.

Cleaned up in time for supper - chicken for me, again!
And some surprisingly delicious blueberry and white chocolate pie. [Made with a recipe. One that was pasted in the most obvious place.]
Looked at old pictures - Patrick when he was fourteen... my moms socks... - and laughed quite heartily. Nick and Katie out for a drive, and then a movie started.

Nana: What are you looking for? The pepper shaker?
NotNana: ...I'm making toast.

Katie and I escaped to our room once she returned and talked about things out loud.
{unlike usual}
Which was a much welcomed change :)

...can't get naked fast enough.

Sound like a writer.

That is EXACTLY Hudson's Bay!

Squishing UglyDoll face

Wore that out eventually and went to bed.

Woop
Woke up viciously early [for practice, I justified] and proceeded to lay in bed for the exact amount of time I could have slept.
This experiment helped no one.
Climbed in to the shower eventually and then hopped [good adjective use] into the car with dad to drive smoothly up to the cottage.
Got there and met someone unexpected.
For longer than I would wish on anyone. Seriously.
But he finally left and a few hours later we seriously upgraded on the guest-getting chain!
Chatted with Brenda and Katie for a while and then in to bed. Exhausted.
[Imagine when I actually have to function on these days?]

Secondhand
Cleaned my room!
Cleared out all that dreary highschool nonsense and made room for highly important CEGEP documents.
...
or something like that.
Made some more letter art and then that was it.

A Little Bit Of Neither

2009-08-19T19:20:00.000-07:00

Muff
Woke up at 8...
should get used to this.
Nick was sick, fuck.
Washed my hands multiple times!
Muffin came over for a bit, then Nana came back to pick her up.

Me: You know who I haven't seen in a while?
NotMe: Who?
Me: My friends.

Something About Width

2009-08-18T19:25:00.000-07:00

Take A Stand!
Oh God, I missed you.
Woke up disgustingly early and went downtown to do some shopping - got an umbrella!
Which was fortunate because then it started to rain.
Set off on my own, and ended up at Dawson after disappointing a Red Cross person.
Loitered all alone... and then... Matt!
Loitered together along with Christina, chatting it up.

There's that really big guy who asked me for a pen.

Headed to the theatre [the-AYE-ter, apparently] for some absolutely hilarious introductions.

NotMe: Is this guy funny or are the rest of these people just idiots?

Matt: Did you just laugh!?
Me: He's cute!

Then Carl stood up and everything was much, much better.
And I thought of Avery :)
Matt left me and was so upset he fell down the stairs, but recovered gracefully.
Sat with Jennifer and borrowed her pen.
Started the tour!

GymLady: You absolutely must lock your gym locker, or else your stuff will get stolen - I will bet you 100$. And then you're going to have to come see me and you'll have no shit and you'll owe me a hundred bucks.

Reunited with Matt in the caf and meant to inquire about the health of our metal, but got too caught up in other things.
[Namely, the morning after pill: is the afternoon too late?]
Talked to a stranger and felt pretty good.
Got my ID! And a free shirt! And agenda! And popsicle!
Score.
Sat with Matt and Amanda for a very long time waiting, and then left.

Me: My birthday's the day after Halloween.
NotMe: Oh! So... October 30th?

Caught the bus home - well, to St. Huberts.
Celebrated 28 years of love, and then jetted home to get picked up by Jess and Laura.
Grabbed Avery [literally] and arrived to our sold out movie.
Saw... BandSLAM [sorry, Jess] instead.

Duey! Duey! Duey! Doooooo we wanna rock?!

That was very creative. And very mean.

Waited for Avery's dad [who is not stupid] and talked about nothing at all.
I love us.

I Don't Get No Sleep

2009-08-17T18:49:00.000-07:00

Oddity
Up, breakfast, leave before others arrive.

NotNick: Uhh, sounds like drowning to me.

I spend a lot of time in the car. This is not a bad thing.
Home in the heat, made a mad dash to the library and grocery store to get books and cold foods.
Went home, read and ate cold things.
Talked to Avery for a long time while rediscovering old writings and conversations from years ago.... oh my.
Found a bug that looked like a leaf, but Dad didn't want to see it. Loser.

NotMe: No dating older boys!
Me: Date all the older men? Alright...
NotMe: And don't think you have to bring your scummy boyfriends home to meet us.
Me: You want to see them all at once? Great!

It just popped into my head.
BAHAHAHAH.

Poppa Will Love It
Such a nice day!!
Perfect summer weather :)
Unfortunately Mom didn't get to enjoy any of it... and made me pretty nervous about getting sick, too.
But all's well.
Sat out in the hot sun all day long and read an excellent book that Mr. Nathan would love, hahah.
But seriously. It was good.
Skipped dinner and then watched the boys go crazy with go karts down the hill.
Ahhh, summer.
Tossed and turned all night, little sleep.

Pace
Woke up and my parents were home - magic!
Good thing we cleaned yesterday :)
After volleyball we decided it was much too hot to stay in the city, so we piled in to the car immediately and headed up north!
I love spurofthemomentness like this.
Plus we stopped for ice cream, like old times <3
Much cooler up there, ate and then bed.
Well there was obviously stuff in the middle, but... not much.

NotMe: Your boyfriends will complain to you about their miserable childhoods, and you? What do you have??
Me: ...I had popsicles.

Leaving doesn't bother me, now.

Once At The Willow, Head For The Sea

2009-08-14T19:41:00.000-07:00

PileUp
Parents tomorrow! Better clean up.
Woke up and registered! Got the teachers I wanted plus a big day off - Monday!
Had only minor issues at the beginning, no big deal.
Climbed back in to bed with Sarah for a bit, then we got up for toaster stroudels :)
Gave her a tour of art and then a shower and a shirt and she took off.
Had some crab, then settled down to read a bit...
and fell asleep.

Nick: It's the quiet ones you've got to watch out for.

A while later, woke up, ate, did a ginourmous pile of dishes upon dishes, chatted with boys and said goodbye to Nick.
Entertained myself, and watched Zack and Miri Make a Porno again... awwwww.
Bed later.

I See Ears
What a full day!
Met with Avery to meet Jess at Carignan after [I got dressed] lunch.
Very very hot!
Walked back to Jess's through the tv universe, and sat in her backyard for a while, talking about my cousins.
Inside to search for Wally after - successful!

Me: Walllyyyyy... Walllyyyyyyyy.... Wall-E...
NotMe: Eeevaa.

Walked back home with Avery and discussed our usual smutty topics.

NotMe: Okay, who are you picturing yourself with here? Because I'm picturing David Duchovny.

Me: Oh - definitely Mr. Rodrigue! For sure.

Got home and had a good talk with someone I haven't talked to in a while, then decided to go to the airport after all.
Picked up by Jess's mom after dinner after hanging out with my brothers friends for a while.
Said goodbye to Marcela :(
Saw more people I haven't seen in a while, then made plans with them for later on.
Got home and hung out with more of my brothers friends, then found some of my own in a dark alley.
Met more of them outside a school, and decided where we were going.

NotMe: We're going to the Epic Spot, man!
NotMeEither: Oh yeah, totally going to the Epic Spot.
SomeoneElseEntirely: Hey, we're going to the Epic Spot, eh.
AndTheLastOne: Meet us at the Epic Spot!

Sarah: There are spiders that swing down from branches across roads and fly right past you!

Fabric softener/laundry detergent.

Went to... the Epic Spot to meet another two of us, then back towards Daniels house.
Hung out there, listened to drums [hahahasexface] and sat around.
Got home with Sarah around 3:30, and in to bed.

NotMe: Man, time changes are so trippy....

Dirty Whore

2009-08-12T20:33:00.000-07:00

You're Hurting Me
I miss hyper Geedi :)

What's Obama's last name?

Got out of bed late, then climbed back in and fell asleep for two hours.
Ate - finally - then read, thought, and watched more Friends videos on Youtube.
Walked over to Jess's later on for pizza, movies and Scattergories!
Laughed really hard at things that weren't that funny to begin with... I miss this :)

NotMe: You can't say things that come in white, like... uhh.... could be white!

Got driven home to discover rowdy hooligans on my front porch - who best stay outside unless they wanna get cut.
Yo.

[MEMORY LAPSE]

Today will be remembered as the first time I've ever forgotten to take a picture.
Said goodbye to my parents in the morning - freedom!
...and what do I do with it?
Watch ten seasons of Friends bloopers. This is the life.
Had a ridiculous chat with Katie later on about dirty things.

Me: Pruned is for bushes. Well....
NotMe: Ew. Bahahahaha.

Watched The Shining with Nick - were both rather disappointed by the lack of fear.
Bedtime and sweet dreams :)

Is That Alright

2009-08-10T19:40:00.000-07:00

Float On
Lack of sleep - stupid puppy.
Out with Dad to print photos, grocery shop and pick up movies!
Got lots I wanted, and dodged spiders in the grocery store.
Very very humid out - makes for crazy hair.
Did stuff for myself all day and tried to plan things for upcoming days.
Reading scary things in bed... alone... at night... not smart.

True Blood

2009-08-09T19:41:00.000-07:00

+1
DD today!
Though not an official one, since I wasn't supposed to be there and Mia was.
Sat and talked and gossiped for a long time, then said goodbye to Mia and walked to Jess's.
Avery got her goodies, Geedi got her bag, and I got the pleasure of Jess's company.
Win!
Walked home and I talked some more, then Poppa and Muffin came over for pizza dinner.
X-Files, no reading, and bed.

Make This Last Forever

2009-08-08T20:17:00.000-07:00

Make A Wish
Tore myself out of bed [it put up a fight] and ate a bagel.
Poppa, Ernie and Muffin came over for coffee, and we chatted for a bit.
They left, and I read my book, waiting to get to the scary part... not there yet.
Supper... Jesus... Bed.
Or close to bed, anyway.

Somebody: I light up the room.
SomebodyElse: Like Ross's teeth?

Sleep well tonight and feel better tomorrow, love.

All Hail
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love life.
Love love love love love.
Did nothing but get excited and nervous all day!
Had a minor freak out to Katie... but she got me through <3 style="font-style: italic;">Me: Look! It's okay! They have the same kind of ticket as we do!

Found some great seats... then found our seats :P
Avery and I found our way to the men's washroom, after buying some shirts.

Me: I am so lost right now.
NotMe: We're in the men's washroom!

NotAvery: Oh, Chester French? Is he coming too?
Avery: ...it's not a 'he'.

Were introduced to the Planet Smashers [and their father] and then Fall Out Boy!

You know what I've seen of Pete Wentz? ...Everything ;)

FOB: Every stop in Canada we smell that weed! Throw some up here!

And. Then. FINALLY. After ten long years of waiting.
Blink 182
:D

Tom's dance moves.

Tom: I'm so sick of blowjobs, I hate them.

Mark: Bonjour Montreal! Je vais a la plage!
Tom: Hello Toronto!!
Crowd: BOO!
Tom: Well, I never! How rude!

Fuck you, Achmadinejad!

123!
456!

Slow motion hugging :)

And with a huge floating drum solo, inflatable waving arm men, confetti and lots of waves from Tom, it was over and we left the building. Said goodbye to Ben, and eventually found Avery's dad.

NotMe: Mark sounds like an ice cream man.

Mike Hippus.

Home, but no sleep for a very, very long time.
<3>

Bueller

2009-08-06T18:42:00.000-07:00

How I Live Now
Up too early for the amount of sleep I got, and out with Dad.
Walked a long time, and back again.

SomeGuy: I need fifteen dozen bagels!

Home again, ate a bagel and fell asleep.
...for a few hours.
Woke up and there was a puppy in my house! Reunion!
Over to the library after dinner, collected a bunch of books.
Said goodbye to Frank and Linda :(
Said goodbye to Nana :(

Nana: You're not getting rid of me that easily!

Me: Your mom told me something... about penis.

Sometimes I Wonder

2009-08-05T19:30:00.000-07:00

Splash
Woke up tired from reading all night.
Walked up to Lakeside and read for a while, before meeting Ben and going to Jayme's to swim with them and Jesse :)
Played Marco Polo, had races and held our breath.
Got home for supper, exhausted.
Cancelled on Mia and Kim... and went to bed at 9:30 after watching half of Pineapple Express.

NotMe: There is definitely something that shouldn't be seen there.
Me: Awwwwwwww, now I have to go look...

Question Period

2009-08-04T19:51:00.000-07:00

And Then...
Woke up... like usual. Lay in bed for a while, catching up.
Had to answer the door in my pjs - always nice.
Enjoyed the sun and my book all day, then over to Jess's after dinner.
Didn't get rained on!
Caught up, watched them film, then I talked for two years.
[or the equivalent of]
We all started yawning, so packed up and left.
Good time catching up :)

Geedi's mosquito smashing skillz.

Me: So... January!

V card!

Ugly And Funny, Like You

2009-08-03T13:06:00.001-07:00

People Can Lick, Too
Home from the cottage!
Got home, heard about our neighbor... sad stuff.
Checked Facebook and called Jess!

Me: Hi!!!
Her: Omg I can hear your voice instead of reading text!

Bummed around, had my first real shower in too long, started Harry Potter... ate.
Met up with Ben, Mia and Jayme after dinner and had some quality time :)
Told urban legends, relived the Blair Witch project and talked about rabid beavers.
I don't want to leave again.

Thank you for paying attention <3

Poor
And it rained.
Rained and rained and rained.
It affected our brains quite severely.
[Severus-ly?]

Annik and I had an hour long Harry Potter conversation which turned into us writing a highly embarrassing rap about Snape... which did not include cherry pie.
Found out something surprising which turned out not to be, after all.
We sang the Imperial March as we did the dishes after spaghetti dinner [during which an enthusiastic round of the Chef Boyardi song was sung, much to Poppa's chagrin] and watched as drunk Mom got angry with her pool cue.

Pierre Potter! Paul Grindlewald. Steve Slytherin.

Walked out the road in a brief rain respite and collected a whole crapload of rocks.
Pulled them back to the cottage and just made it before the wheel popped off the wagon!
Watched the X File in which Mulder says something cute, and then another where some guy looked like Andy from Mayberry and Dexter.
Went to bed and borrowed Anniks book :)

Sweet Sweat
Badminton contest!
...or part of one, anyway. Enthusiasm died around lunch time and only two games ended up being played.
But it's okay, I won anyway. Woo - Martha!

Me: Shotgun Patrice as my partner for Labour Day.
NotMe: You ditch me that easily?

NotMe: That's an unfair team. They're young together, and I'm old with Poppa? I don't think so.

Killed Nick at pool after lunch, then beat Annik as well.
Even though I didn't have a cool theme song like Nick did.
Saw a bald eagle!
What a weird animal weekend.

Genetic
Hung out all day, lying around and... stuff.
Brenda arrived after dinner, to much celebration and going to bed.
I delivered my letter and felt pretty good about that.
Went on a drive with Nana and Annik and my dad, saw some horses and a corncob mailbox, but no fox this time.

Silly Teddy... Teddy has no knees!

Norm, Nora and Patrice.

Had a talk with Poppa and Annik after dinner about Annik's piercing, as well as other things of that genre.

Surveyor
Martha, Yves, Peanut and Annik made it up in the afternoon!
Little Georgie has been re-Christened Muffin!
Not muff. Or muffy. Muffin.

Poppa: I want.... a cookie.

Went off bear hunting at night, armed with a bear beater, firecrackers and flashlights.
No sightings... but the firecrackers were cool. Ish.

Finally!
Nana and Poppa made it up after dinner after a long day of driving for them.
Nana, meet... Georgie?
For now, anyway.
Today was beautiful, hot and sunny and perfect!
Lay in the sun for a long time, not doing anything. So very nice.
Swam :)

Gone, Again
I've been away for more days in July than I've been home...
Not that I'm completely disconnected, I guess.
But it still sucks, on days like these.
Slept all day and listened to music.

Pillowfight!

2009-07-27T19:15:00.000-07:00

No Name
I feel like Avery :)
After delaying myself and having a brief discussion with him, I walked over to Ben's in the hot sun.
We hung out and watched movies until his dad called at an inopportune time...
So I walked home, in the hotter sun.
But at least I got a ride partway this time.
And not from some overly friendly man named Alan.

Alan: Would you like to go for coffee sometime?
NotAlan: Um... maybe... bye.

Home, finally talked to Katie - but was interrupted by supper.
Watched some crummy movie, then packed and prepared a special delivery.
Leave for cottage tomorrow!

Honestly

2009-07-26T20:59:00.000-07:00

I'm Going To Be A... Soccer Ball!
Woke up unsure of what I was doing.
Rushed to meet Avery, then rested at DD for a bit, learning songs and dishing about people.
Walked home with Avery.

NotMe: It's amazing we have this many stories about toilets.
Me: Well, we spend a lot of time there... stuff is bound to happen.

Got home and played with Puppy and Noodle for a long time, then had to drag the little one inside when she wouldn't stop eating flowers.
Ate supper, then... stuff.
Went out after and watched the storm crash by :)

Singing little girl holding balloon in a dark school hallway.

Underground dentists.

Why didn't you tell me??

Hi There

2009-07-25T19:13:00.000-07:00

Hello
Woke up twice.
The second time much more successful!
Had an amazing breakfast, yumm. Complete with medieval music.

NotMia: When did you buy that sweater?
NotBen: Uhmm...
NotMe: APRIL!!

Walked with Mia a bit, and then lay in the sun for a long time.
Went to Ora's after dinner to pick up Puppy!!
<3
So cute. SO CUTE.

UkranianGuys: Walpole. Walpole. Walpole. What street? Walpole.

Got extremely misdirected on the way... but traveled in the opposite direction they said and found it immediately.
Thanks...
Kathryn, Nick and Brian over afterward, admiring Puppy.
Noodle, on the other hand, is not so sure.

Captation: Hello?!
Spent the day lounging about, then went out with everyone! after dinner.
Met up with Avery first, had a short convo with my brother, then walked to Carignan to meet up with everyone else.
And, finally, Nick.
Did what we do, sat in a park for a while...

UFO??
*eerie bottle noise*

The Wills

Said goodbye to Geedi, and, after leaving Nicks from peeing, Avery.

NicksMom: Nick! Your bird is dead!

Found Josh, Brandon and Preston... who did not steal Ben's bike after all.
Over to Jayme's, hung out with his brother.

Me: How old are you?
NotMe: Fourteen.
Me: Really!?
NotMe: ...that's mean.

People came back with pizza and Daniel.

NotMe: We seem to be on the same wavelength tonight.

People left and we headed downstairs.
Watched the Meaning of Life and lazed in bed.
Or, went swimming. Secretly.
Everyone finally crashed around 4:00.

Ben: Guys! Let's party!

Not Today, My Man

2009-07-23T08:19:00.000-07:00

Settling Back
First full day home... sigh.
Went shopping with mom in the afternoon, bought some sunglasses, headbands and a dress :)
Made up for all the money I didn't spend on the trip.
Came home and didn't do much... caught up with people.
Watched Nurse Jackie and X Files after supper.
Good stuff.

The End
Drove for many hours.
Home at 5:00.
I win :)
Picked up Noodle!!
Reconnected myself with [most of] my world, which made me very, very happy.
I love coming home.

:)

10 It's Big!
Got to Charlottetown before lunch... wow. Way to be underwhelming for a capital.
Lachine mall is gigantic compared to Charlottetown mall.
Left PEI early and started on our way home.
Made it across the bridge again!
Drove for a long time, thennn - hotel!
Padded around, and watched Burn After Reading [gasp!]
I love Brad Pitt.
Went to bed later than 9:30 for the first time in... what feels like forever.

9 Friend of the Devil
Drove for a bit and set up camp an hour or two down the road.
Hot! and sunny!
Lay in the sun for an hour or so... yummm.
Mom and Dad dragged me to the beach and I finally swam in the ocean. Avoided all jellyfish quite successfully.
Out again after dinner, shopping and ice cream. Stopped in a cemetary, at a run down house and a church.
Nice day :)

8 Float Like A Jellyfish
Bubbles the Jellyfish :)
Stopped at the beach in PEI after crossing that huge bridge.
Lifeguards Owen and Betty were there to keep an eye on us.
Unfortunately, so were thousands of flies.
We ditched out on that place pretty quickly.
Found ourselves a nice campsite by the ocean, kinda.
Went out for a drive after dinner... saw a lot of potatoes.

7 Inifite
A giant black cloud seemed to hover right over our tent in the morning, so we rushed off.
Driving around Cape Breton is very beautiful. Also, very long.
I can't remember much. That kind of day.
Hmmmm.

...like I miss home.

Camped on some mountain or something.
Went to the beach, but did not swim.
Went out for ice cream after supper, and then checked out a [not-so-creepy] house and an old quarry.

If you got naked, smeared yourself with peanut butter and vaseline, and rolled around in bed with Johnny Watson, it's all water under the bridge now.

6 Bluenose
Woke up to rain, so folded up the tent in a hurry and jetted on out of there.
Arrived in Halifax!!
Cloudy, but not rainy.
Saw Theodore Tugboat, Captain Jack, lots of naughty posters, Dalhousie University, Ye Olde Burying Ground... a Jesus action figure... I love Halifax.

DirtyPirate: I won't bite hard, love, not unless you ask me to. Me: *nervous giggle*

Slept in a hotel in Antigonish, andddddd - saw Harry Potter!!
What a cute theatre, and delicious popcorn.
Listened to some local teenagers talk about their fun times... aww.
Best day yet :)

5 Mini
Packed up and left camp after showering in an uncomfortably small stall.
[with an insect that looked suspiciously like a leaf...]
NotDad: That deer was smoking something! Dad: A reefer? NotDad: I think so! Dad: Smoky the Bear probably sold it to him.

Had to meet John and Arno so we sped along for a while, stopping only for some Timmy's and some tiny horses!
Awwwwwww.
Left that place covered in hives.
Dinner with the uncles was so much fun! They're so cute :)
Tried to go see Harry Potter, but it was sold out.
Pfft, like there are even enough people in that town to fill a theatre.
Sleep instead.

The plaid lads.

4 CANADA!
This one step closer to home felt so good.
Drove in to New Brunswick pretty early in the day, I think.
Found our [stupidly expensive] park and set up camp. Mom and Dad went for a walk and I lay in the tent and read poetry.
Then did nothing for a long time... Dad chatted with our neighbours and I slept.

3 Whoooooo?
Drove around a lot.
Homesick.
Missing people.
Mom talked about the tide all day long.
Beautiful campsite right on a bay, heard coyotes howling all night long.
The only other camper in the whole park stole our water bucket, though.
Time change?

Hey kids! It's Uncle Tongue!

2 Teeter
Drove through pretty awesome mountains [in my opinion, anyway] today. Stopped at a few lookouts.
Got to Maine.
Drove for 45 minutes on some crazy dirt road, with some hillbilly telling us to turn back around right now!
Camped in a really popular camp site, complete with a duck family!
Went out after dinner for a walk with Dad by the beaver pond, where I thought we were going to get attacked by wolves but only got splashed by a beaver instead.
Saw a mink and a whole crapload of bugs.
Drove out to Portland, stopped for McDo's on the way, and walked around the city.
Meh.
Got back to the campground and... it was... closed?
Oh. No. We were at the wrong gate.
Finally got home and slept.

NotMe: Where's the fat guy on the bridge?

1 Lean On Me
Showered early, said goodbye to Nick and Noodle and hopped into [my new home] the car.
Drove, hour by hour.

Me: Look! A petting zoo! With... a goat! And... a... chicken! Minister sinister.

Stopped and saw the longest suspension footbridge in the world... did NOT go across it.
Got to our campsite in... the states pretty early. Took a walk through the flume!
Survived that, barely.

Top 'O Gorge

Went back to our bear-ridden campsite, had a fire and slept.

Longing

2009-07-11T19:40:00.000-07:00

Packed
Yes, I have starry panties.
Rainy, rainy day.
Spent the day avoiding packing and comforting Noodle.

Mia: I could pet your noodle all day long...

Anne dropped by in the afternoon to chat about her piano, stalkers, and ex-boyfriends.
Walked her after dinner, saw Nick and Mia briefly, then returned home.
Saw someone else even brieflier... fuck.
Returned home disappointed, then watched Zack and Miri Make a Porno... :)
Entertained myself for a while, then bed.

Bye, everyone. See you in two weeks.
Don't change too much without me.

'Cause I've Been There Before

2009-07-10T13:52:00.000-07:00

This Is Making Me Upset
Got going fairly late in the day, but then I had a shower and lay in the sun.
Yummm :)
Encountered Avery and bought banana popsicles, then walked around in the sun for a very long time.
Couldn't quite remember the fourth Beatle's name, but finally got it.

George!

Saw some crazy [rabid?] dreadlocked dog, who actually turned out to be pretty friendly.
Chose 5 of many things, then walked home without getting sprayed by a sprinkler.
I love summer.

Olden Days
Went to the library with my dad in the morning, but that's about it.
Had some confusion with what plans were happening when, but it all worked out really well, thankfully.
Met up with Ben and Jayme after dinner and walked to Kims - helped her dry dishes as everyone else arrived.
Took a walk, then went back to her place - Sociables!
Minor confusion with the rules, but the ice card provided much amusement for people who weren't Ben.
Went on another [speed] walk, then the game morphed in to 'I've Never'.
Heh. Good stuff.

Ralph Klein?

Fireworks!!

Gathered people to walk me home!

Genny: I don't need shoes!

NotMe: Let's go lie on the hill!
Everyone: Yeah!!
...
Everyone: It's all wet!

Can I touch you?

Hugs all around, then sitting up for most of the night.
:)

Finger?
Enjoyed life in my pajamas all day, then got cleaned up after dinner to go and meet Kim and Daniel.
He left, and we headed off to the bank.

Kim: BIRD!!
I thought it was a piece of garbage and I was just about to kick it...

Got what we wanted at the dep, then made it back to my place to hang out in my room [stupid brother]. Went through all the shit on my computer - a softer world :)
That was finished, we stood up [heh], then went for a walk.
Practiced our balance on some horses, then decided we really needed to pee.

NotMe: Since... Canada Day!
Me: That was a week ago.
NotMe: No, it's the... seventh today...

Debated whether or not to indulge, then finally did as we watched 'Mather' do some running drills.

Me: He. He. He he heh. Hahaha. Hahahahahha. Ha. Ha. Ha ha ha.

Do you remember when...?

Taste the rainbow!

You should feed someone Skittles before making out with them.
Why?
...It's fun.

Got home and had some ice cream, yummm.
[Not peanut butter and jam...]

We Don't See Each Other Much Anymore

2009-07-07T20:02:00.000-07:00

Somewhat Less Of A Victory
Went to see the Hangover with Genny - I was only a little late...
But I forgot to look at her ear!!!
Bahhhhh.
The movie was good, for the second time :)
Got back to Lachine around 7:00 and met up with Geedi and Avery, then went over to Timmy's.
Sat, ate and talked. Caught up.
Left, then Geedi thinks I got us lost, but really I knew where we were going the entire time.
And there were no murderers.
...Just a bunch of wasps.

Bouncing and shaking his legs like those Chinese kids...

Read all of A Softer World. Which put me in a certain mood. Let's curl up in bed now.

Booty Call

2009-07-06T21:15:00.000-07:00

Shit Disturbers
Slept in very lengthily.
Woke up in the best way possible... :)
Had a shower but then got back in to my pajamas... until like 6:30.
Mia came over after some extremely frustrating non-answer including texts from Ben.
Met up with him and Jayme then walked around... didn't do much, really.
Certainly didn't go swimming.
...
Saw Jimmy hanging out at Lakeside... typical moment :P
Waited for a bit with Mia at the bus stop, then home on time for my extended curfew.
More sleep!

NotMe: How old can you look?
NotMeEither: 97.

NotMe: The night is young!
NotMeEither: The night is 97 years old.

SomeAlchie: I'm going to name my kid Johnny Bootlegger.

Sleep Alone

2009-07-05T19:44:00.001-07:00

[de]Parted
Woke up and knew it was time to go home.
The Laportes left first, right after lunch [crab salad!!].
Katie and I took a very quick dip in the lake, that was enough.
Kudos to her for staying in as long as she did.
Emily was being harassed by an overly friendly squirrel up on the porch... which actually wasn't as funny as it sounded when it was coming for you.
We left at the same time as Brenda and Nick - before dinner, but not by much.
Got home and jetted off to Thai Express.
Then... crashed on my bed with my laptop.
Sigh. Home again.
Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

Belated
Woke up bright and early to some raucous conversation and... pancakes!
Wonderful :)
The day was pretty disappointing - cold and windy. Didn't go outside very much at all.
Certainly didn't put the dock in, what with the excess of water.
We did, however, play Scattergories.

Tampoon!

Bebe chien.

NotMe: Anna! Stop thinking like I think!

Melissa did an honourable job of playing in English.
Drove in to town [with some 3 second full stops and an interesting horn] to buy chocolate, marshmallows, graham crackers, and alcohol. Party time!
Later on we drove out to the sandpit to check out the fox, which did come out of it's hole, but which Emily did not pet.
Instead we skipped rocks.
Had a highly eventful dinner...

SPIDER!!
BURN DOWN THE COTTAGE!!

Thankfully we finally found it....
and we could sleep easily. Most of us, anyway.

Nana: Keep your pecker up!

Started the bonfire after a failed attempt at getting a glowstick game started.
Out comes the alcohol!
Annik and I sat, rejected, singing Fire's Burning... in the glory!!
Finally convinced Pat to play for us - only after it got dark enough.
Took a walk out the road after 10:30 came around... nothing too exciting apart from some extremely bright lights.
Beddddd.

ABC's...
Well today I REALLY didn't do anything.
Woke up... got up... had breakfast... went on the computer... went back to bed.... good stuff.
Basically lazed around for the entire day.

Historianna: My job is going to be huge!
Conqueror: Just like my penis. But unlike my penis, I'd like you to get on it right away.

Got picked up by Brenda around 6:00 and dashed through the rain in to the car.
Stopped and almost got smushed by trucks and busses while Katie ran in to get a battery.
...A totally pointless battery.
Instead of listening to music on the drive up, we sang.
And sang. And sang.
And beat on the dashboard, in some cases.

Brenda: Woop woop!

Crusty, delicious, pubescent, man, inseparable, unicorn, XXX breasts!

Got to the cottage, ate a bunch of food and created a mosquito graveyard.

I'll Chase You

2009-07-02T08:34:00.001-07:00

Parasite
I don't think I did much on this day.
It probably rained...
Em dashed into my room early in the morning because some guy was there checking our fire exits... we huddled together.
I started Peeps, and read about half. Good stuff!
Headed off to school with Katie when she got home from work - no hymens this time.
Instead there was an extremely annoying noise and a surplus of left-handed people.
[Maybe they're from Newfoundland...]

Instead of going out for deep-fried ice cream after, we decided we were too tired and lazy so instead settled in at home with Em and Laura to watch Shopaholic.
...With only one giant interruption.

Happpyyyyyyyy Canadaday.
Showered and had some toast, then walked over to the pub to drop off Emily's forgotten pouch.
Met up with Brenda and Duffy, and walked over to the bank, where Brenda got a little confused about punching in numbers.
Dropped in on the dep to purchase some hot dogs, [the last bag of] buns and some orange drink.
Went over to check out Parliament Hill and the festivities there, and saw a really cute Australian busker with a crazy laugh, tattoos and nipple rings :)

Al: I'm a naughty monkey!

After watching his show we went back home to get ready.
Laura and Mike had some extra tattoos - yay!
Applied them and then walked to Brenda's.

SomeGuy: Where's the dep?
SomeOtherGuy: What?
SomeGuy: The deppanneur! Where's the dep?
SomeOtherGuy: ...?
SomeGuy: The dep... the "corner store."

Drove on over to Matt's [without music, unfortunately], where Ashley, Jenn and Chris were already roasting in the sun.
The boys amused themselves trying to hit golf balls over the fence, while we listened to a whole bunch of Michael Jackson.
Got fed up with the heat, eventually and headed inside.
Whipped out the RockBand.
Llew arrived and the food started cooking!
Ashley's hamburgers were exactly what she imagined [even if they shrunk a little.]

NotAshley: You're having two? Where do you pack them??

Katie: Bread and butter, bread and butter, bread and butter.
NotKatie: What do you say to get rid of june bugs?
Matt: It's July, it's July, it's July.

Back to golfing... then moved on to the broom toss!
Llew killed us on the first toss, but Brian eventually claimed the title... I think.
Katie and I left before the water balloon fight had a chance to break out.

Back to Brenda's for some beer, pepperoni sticks and some confusing yet trying-to-be helpful conversations.
Stayed there for a bit then headed down to the hill to find Robyn and fireworks!

Anne: Anna?! I knew I'd see you!

Beautiful fireworks, and incredibly crowded streets.
Plus a really friendly guy with a dog chatting up Katie.
:)

Pigeon The Pigeon
Again slept in far later than usual, but actually had incentive to get up today.
Headed out to Anne's a little after noon, praying that the rain would hold off until I got there.
It almost did.... got a little wet but nothing too serious.
Had a minor crisis as I looked at the doorbells, but pulled through with a lucky guess.

Me: What is that? It smells delicious.... but looks incredibly disgusting.

After we ate Jen came home, and we had an intense discussion about the meaning of Anne's t-shirt.

Otter Woman... Other woman? Odder woman? Freak show? Who knows.

Went over to Bridgehead and indulged in chocolate pecan squares, yummmmm.
Jen went back to work, and Anne and I took a walk along the river.
Narrowly avoided stepping on a dead frog.

Anne drove me home in time for Katie to arrive and pick me up to walk to class.

ProfHewson: Why else were women not allowed to ride astride a horse?
KatiesNotebook: Pop your cherry.

Left school in a downpour and stopped by the Jazz Fest to talk to Ken for a bit.
Finally got home and stripped off to dry. Made some pizza and soup and watched 10 Things I Hate About You, then I became Katie's conscience for a bit.
Remembered I hadn't taken a photo yet, so snuck out with some bread and tried to beckon the pigeon down to us.
Bed!
