Busy Day

     Today has been an extremely busy day. We started setting up the gym for the prom tomorrow, and that is one huge job. It meant being on my feet literally all day, and now I'm exhausted. We are only about halfway through, though most of the grunt work is done. I can't wait until the decorating is finished.


     Along with decorating, I have to get Kayla's birthday surprise finished. It's just about done, only the final details and wrapping to be done now. It's weird, because I'm more excited for her birthday than I was for mine.


     There is now less than one month of school left. We do things weirdly here, and have our graduation ceremony before we write our final exams. It is kind of unsettling to think that I am graduating in a week. I really wish that was the end, and I wouldn't have to write final exams. *sigh*  Oh well, what can you do.


     Katie, despite the fact that I don't drink tea, I am very jealous of your TARDIS mug. The only kind I've ever seen in stores are the disappearing TARDIS mugs. Never any that are actually shaped like it. Waterfire sounds like it was a really fun experience. The statue people remind me of the Weeping Angels, in a less creepy way. Also, the fire dance looked pretty cool.


     Sounds like you have a busy summer planned, Kate. I am not 100% sure what I'm doing with my time off. Hopefully some travelling. I've also got to pack up my stuff and move into my dorm at the end of the summer. I don't know if I'm looking forward to that or not. In terms of driving partners, we seem to have opposing problems. I cannot drive with my mother, she's a little too high strung. I prefer to drive with my dad. And yeah, I still can't drive on my own. I didn't get my first class license until I was 17, and still really don't drive at all. There's no appeal for me.


     It's been a long day, and I'm not even finished everything that I need to do. So I'm going to go and do that. Hope you all had wonderful weeks, and I wish you amazing weekends. Don't forget to be awesome!

Ready to be Home

I'm on vacation right now, but it's a bit boring here.  Even though my mother goes over to the house to take care of my dad's fish and my cats, I still worry and miss them dearly.  I'm ready to go back, but not so ready for my summer activities to begin.

I know summer conditioning starts in a few weeks, along with Drivers' Ed. Hopefully my pole-vault coach contacts me about summer practices starting soon. I'm also looking to volunteer at the local humane society.


Congrats on getting into honours band, Kira!

I hope you'll be back to your normal health soon, Campion.  At least you got to play Pokemon while you stayed home.

Deidra, there are two places that I've thought about living in in the future.  Like you, I would like to live in London or Cardiff, somewhere in the UK. Or I'd want to move to Canada somewhere.


Oh, and I have driven once with my dad, and I didn't do bad.  I prefer my mom as a driving teacher because my dad kind of stinks at teaching.  Luckily the town I'm currently in doesn't have any curbs and the residential area speed limit is only 32 km/20 mph.

Have an capital-A Awesome week

It's defiantly not Sunday. Nope!

I had a bit on my plate yesterday, and I can't wait to tell you all about it! But first, some other less exciting news. Finals are in two weeks, so of course I'm in complete shut down mode and all I can think about is summer. Speaking of summer I might be getting an internship at a library to pass the time.

So the reason this is Sunday and not Saturday is because of time and things. The reason I'm posting on a Sunday is because  I got home at 11:40 last night which was the last bus home. I went to the city for two reasons. 1) I went to see Dark Shadows at the mall and 2) I went to go see Waterfire.

Dark shadow was good, but in the sense that I don't regret seeing it. Three stars at most. I like Johnny Depp and Tim Burton, but this movie was eh. I laughed when cued and felt sad when needed. Basically not the best series-to-film-adaption. And the mall part. I'm not exactly a people person, no joke. A mall is like one big high school hallway. Everyone's rude, pushy, loud, and like to stop in the middle of walking to stand in the way. AND OH MY GOD DO THEY STARE! It's so annoying. I hate the mall. The one good thing is this:

A TARDIS mug. Keeps my beverages hot. I about died when I saw this! Oh and speaking of doctor who look a-likes the American version of Katherine Tate works in Bed Bath and Beyond. She checked us out of the store, my sister and I couldn't stop giggling.

I don't know if you know what Waterfire is, because I'm pretty sure its just in Rhode Island. Basically there is this event in the middle of Providence where they set up stands in the water, light the wood on fire, and pass out roses. Something that's more fun to do when your in a relationship. Unless you're me. They had people painted and dressed as statues.

Here is a really awful picture of this girl. My sisters phone doesn't have flash an neither did mine. So she had to take the photo while someone with flash did. I got a better picture of a different person, but it has my sister in it and I don't think she'd appreciate me putting her picture up. I donated a dollar to this pirate statue guy and he gave me this little orange note that I seem to have misplaced. Whoopsie!

We, being my sister, mother and I, sat on a park bench not to far away from a stand that was letting people hang dedication stars and luminaries. I decided to do a star, which came with two luminaries for ten dollars. 





On either side are the two luminary notes which are pretty cheesy I must say. The star was what I really wanted to do though. When I saw them I about fell over and knew what I had to do. So I wrote Ester a 'This Star Won't Go Out' and hung it on a tree.

It's a picture filled post, I must say. this is the highlight of my week and most likely the weeks to come. Questions. Yes he did actually get a cookie with a rock. I know! And I'm not sure where I would go if I could live anywhere. I probably wouldn't leave New England. And if I did I probably wouldn't leave the U.S. I just don't see myself outside of my own little bubble. Whenever I think about the day I move away, if ever the song 'We Gotta Get Out Of This Place' by The Animals comes to mind.

JUST finished making this video clip my sister took of this guy on a gondola swinging fire all professional-like. Anyway, got things to do on this not Saturday day.

Plans for the Future Near and Far

I've been super super lazy all this week. I think I'm already in my summer mood, so I have very little motivation to do school stuff. Which is bad because everything is starting to get busy as prom and grad draws nearer and exams are in a month.

I did get to see the Avengers last weekend. I won't spoil anything, but I thought the movie was pretty great. I ended up liking Bruce Banner/Hulk and Tony Stark/Iron Man more than I thought I would. Originally I liked Thor and Captain America the best, but now I'm not too sure who's my favourite.

Thanks for your compliments on my Ood drawing. I did end up making another one, of the Silence, as a present for Deidra this time. I'm planning on doing more Doctor Who aliens, but there's so many that I want to do and like I said, schools getting really busy, so I'm not sure when/how often I'll be able to make them.

Kira, yeah my birthday's on the first. I'm really excited for it, but boy oh boy is it going to be a busy day. I have to finish decorating for prom that day, do a calculus test, hand in the written component of my data management ISU (which I will hopefully have done well before that day), do my post on here, get ready for prom, go to prom, ditch early so I can go home and celebrate my birthday with Deidra, and then if the weather cooperates and I can find our tent then we're going to sleep out in my yard. Lol I hope that's not packing too much into one day.

Deidra up until probably this grade I have always only ever imagined myself as living in Canada for the rest of my life, preferably not in Geraldton or Thunder Bay, but somewhere in Canada. I enjoy living here. However I have more recently considered the fact that I might rather live elsewhere. Definitely not the United States. Maybe somewhere like England (just because), Australia (also just because), Japan (always wanted to at least travel there for an extended period of time), or Finland (because it seems really nice and I have a lot of relatives there). Some other European countries sparked my interest as well. But in all honesty I'm not sure if I would ever be able to move so far away, to such a different and new place. It would definitely be an adventure.

Where in the World

     So I get a super short week this week, as there was no school for us on Monday and I didn't go to school today. We went up to Thunder Bay to bring my niece home, do some shopping, and for some appointment of my sister's. I got everything I need for prom (basically just shoes). I am still not really looking forward to it.When we got home, we discovered that our phone isn't working. Apparently it was storming here, and our hydro/telephone pole got hit by lightning. We still have electricity and Internet (thank gosh) but our phones aren't. It's a conundrum.


       Have you watched all seasons of Torchwood, Katie? I watched seasons 1-3 online, and then season 4 when it was playing on television. I liked the first two seasons, I felt they were really amazing, and the cast was just the best. Then stuff happened, and season three was so-so, but they totally ruined it in season four. They american-ized it far too much. I liked the concept of it though. Don't read farther if you haven't seen the season, but I have often wondered how things would work if suddenly all humans became immortal. 


     I hope you are feeling better, Campion. It always sucks when you get sick. Though getting to sleep may balance it out for me. Also, when I'm sick, I like to watch movies and shows. Also ignore school. It's good until you have to go back. I hope you get to back online again soon, for more than what little time you are getting.


     I have a question for you all this week. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why? I have toyed with the idea of living in London, mostly because of my love for Britain. France has come into contemplation recently, as apparently they have really good health care and government. And you know, it's France, romance capital of the world. I've given the United States a bit of thought, since my boyfriend is from there, but I'm not sure how I'd feel about that. 


     Anyway, this post is long and boring enough already. Hope you guys have fantastical weekends. Don't forget to be awesome!

I don't have a lot of time

Due to my brothers (and my own) addictions to constantly playing video games on the computer our computer time has been restricted so I really don't have a lot of time to write this but I'll try to get as much as I can in. Well, spent the last week in bed recovering from a horrible cold that I caught (it is flu season over here) so I'm still feeling a little off but apparently I was well enough to attend school today (much to my displeasure). But I guess that the upside to staying home for a few days is that all I was really able to do was play Pokemon and sleep, which was pretty good.

Anyway, I have to go now my times almost up, I promise that my post next week will be longer

So have an awesome week guys

Title-less for Eternity...

Hey, everyone. I don't have much to say this week, nothing much has happened. I got into honours band, which was pretty cool.

Campion, Kayla, you both are kind of awesome at art. Puppets, drawing. I wish I could do that. They all turned out amazingly. Good job. Kayla, it's your birthday on the first? I think I need to hijack Deidra's birthday cupcake thing...so long as I remember all of the birthdays.

Katie! You're alive! Gld you enjoyed Envirothon and Ecofair. Did your friend seriously get a cookie when he paid with a rock?

Adam, good luck with your article. I've always regarded that sort of thing as insanely difficult.

Well, I've got nothing left to say. Have a great week
-Kira
