Any Time But 2:30

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

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

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

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.

Complete

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

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

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.
