Yay, I'm posting!
Kennis made me.
I'm really happy everyone likes my home made skirts. Maybe I should start a business.
On Saturday I saw Troy with Stephanie and her brother (who is IMO the funniest person alive), and it was pretty mediocre, but also really good. The battle scenes were great. The acting was fine. But mostly, it's the almost nude shots of the main stars that really made it great. Also, everyone in Troy/Greece was a slut. And Paris was a bitch. Take that, Orlando Bloom!
I also babysat, and had Harry Potter overload (yes, Steph it is possible)! I watched the second one while babysitting, and then the first one was on TV. It's incredible, that even though there is only one year between the movies, the actors seem so much older in the second one. In the first, they all seem like 10 year olds. Freaky! I really can't wait to see the third one, but I'm going to be in Montreal for a wedding. Terrible timing, I know. Hopefully we'll either leave on Saturday, or come home early Sunday, so I don't have to drag someone after school on Monday.

I just had to post it.
In other news, I have a job interview at the Second Cup on Beechwood tommorow. Wish me luck, as I hope to join the greats of Rachel Green and Sabrina Spellman.
BTW, how sad is it that Friends is over? I'll miss it.
Is a 74% average good enough to get into Ottawa U, which says "70% minimum average required, but does not guarantee admission"?

The only thing someone pranked me with was a fake physics quiz. Nice try, Steph. I still respect you.
I missed Leanne during physics. I wuv her. :(
I have my first SCUBA lesson today! I am so excited to learn! I'm going with Karina, but because of the times I have to finish all my work now.
Annie got a job at Guardian drugs, and apparently they really need people, so I'm going to apply. $7.10 an hour isn't too bad. It'll have to do. :)

Well, it's been a fairly uneventful week. Just finsishing my English essay, which might as well be toilet paper, because it's not very good. Dear poetry, you are very difficult to write an original essay on. I think my points make sense.
On Friday night, I hung out with Annie and Karina, which is so much better than hanging out with parents. We watched TV, and Fawlty Towers. We had spaghetti. And larggggeeee cookies. Mmm.
I went to church this morning, for the first time in like 2 months. I serve, and lately there have been alot more servers so I haven't had to go as much. Anyways, it was dull. I prayed that I would get into university, so at least I used my time right. And just to completely oppose church, I watched Sex and the City when I got home. And Queer Eye. Cause I taped them. Then I watched Friends DVDs. Then I built a metropolis on SimCity. It's so hard to control the big cities. It's not even very big. Like 60,000.
Today I have my hair in pigtails, which I like. It makes me look so...young. Haha. My mom also bought Strawberry Nesquik, which is fantasmatically awesome.
Ooooh tommorow is going to be 13 degrees!!! Spring smells like melting dog poo.

Today...
I did my complete oral presentation on Beowulf. I think it's brilliant, actually. I deserve a slap on the back for this one. Hopefully Mrs. P thinks so too.
I watched I Want to Hold Your Hand (yes, the Beatles movie), Pretty in Pink, and Ferris Beuller's Day Off. They were all on Bravo. Ferris Bueller is the best movie ever. Seriously. I have seen it so many times, but it's always so funny. Not as good as LOTR though. Cha.

Well, I'm back. I have to say, Cambridge in it's own sleepy way (read: boring) is fun. It's good to escape the busy city. In Cambridge, I mostly slept in, and watched TV. I don't understand their cable service. They don't get OLN, or The Comedy Network, but they get Much More Music? Why? Unfair! We did one day trip to Toronto which was very fun, and I also got to spend time there on the way to Cambridge and coming back. I did do a lot of shopping, but also saw some sights. We went to the Diana exhibit, which was interesting. They even had report cards of hers when she was like 6 years old. I have no idea why on earth that is interesting. When we were on the way home yesterday, we walked through Yorkville and along Bloor. That street made me feel soooo poor! It was all stores like Chanel and Prada, and it was so clean, and very unwelcoming. I also had the worst chicken salad ever there. It was so spicy I couldn't breathe. Mom wouldn't even eat it, and she loves that stuff! So I hate Whole Foods Market. Anyways, the soap in their lav smelled nasty. The best place in Toronto is Sam the Record Man (and Yonge St. in general), which had my Danish music. I am so in love. And it was so big! And while I was there, two girls bought a Cat in the Hat DVD, so I was laughing at their misfortune.
In Cambridge, we went to the Cambridge center. We went to Zellers, which is apparently the teenage hangout in that city. Those kids love their matching sweat suits! We also took a day trip to Guelph, and the University does have a beautiful, organized campus, and the students are very friendly. The gym where the displays were was a zoo, so I just picked up pamphlets and left. On another day, we went to Kitchener, because that's where Oma and Opa like to buy their food. They go to all these weird food markets, and German butchers. We went to this butcher, and it smelled so gross. Like every meat imaginable mushed into one, toxic fume. And my mom was like "Oh, it smells so gooood!". It was enough to make me want to be a vegetarian. They had meat everywhere, and I was wondering if the people who worked there smelled like meat when they got home. Ugh. Other than that, Cambridge wasn't too interesting. My grandparents fight so much. It's insane, but kinda funny. They just don't care about life anymore, so they're really pessimistic (if I say "Yay! Tommorow is a sunny day!" Opa will say "So what, it's going to be freezing cold!"). And my Oma doesn't get out enough, so she's forgetting English. She speaks to me in German, which I don't really understand. I swear, their life could be a sitcom. It would have great ratings!! Also, all they eat is bread and meat. Like for breakfast (I had cereal, thanks) they ate bread and cheese. Lunch was bread and meat. Dinner could involve soup, take-out burgers(bread and meat) or KFC. I can't wait to have pasta, or pizza, or marinated chicken!
I bought a chicken salad at Dairy Queen on the way home, and it kicked Whole Foods Market's ass. Take that, Yorkville. On the train ride home, as with the way there, I noticed that Lake Ontario looks like an ocean. It doesn't even look that polluted away from the city. There are alot of beachy areas along it too. But swimming there would probably burn your skin off.
This evening I'm seeing Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and I am so excited. Elijah Wood, yay! It makes me happy. And today, there are TWO episodes of I dream of Jeannie, which is my new favourite thing ever. It's such a cute show, it makes me smile just thinking about it!!! So happy! Christmas is coming early! And it's snowing outside. In March. Blah, I'm glad to be home.

Yeah! I finally get to escape Ottawa! And go to....Kitchener. Haha. At least I'm spending a day (or maybe two, if the mood hits my mom) in Toronto. I have to do my english ISU over the break. Which is shitty, since my grandparents don't have the internet. Sorry, I don't know anything about Beowulf. Maybe I can use a computer at a library? Cyber Cafe? Hope so!
Best thing: Get to go shopping. Am looking forward to recklessly spending money. I wish I could be on What not to Wear, so that I could get $5000 towards new clothes. Phooey.

SWEEEEEEP!
About time! Sheeeeesh.
Awww, yay.
So this weeked was really all about Oscars. On saturday, I went shopping with my elementary school friends, and we tried on prom dresses. I felt so beautiful! Now if only I could afford some of those awesome dresses from the red carpet...
On saturday I also babysat, which was alright. It was going home from shopping that I took the 5. That's all I wrote about, cause I was pissed. Hehe.
Sunday...Annie and I baked a cake for our Oscars "party" and then watched them all! It was really short this year, it ended at 12:10. Billy Crystal was hialrious! It wasn't boring at all. Even the tributes were exciting, like when the old man crashed through the wall on his wheelchair!!!
Wooohoooo!
Today was A-Ok. Our english group presentation on Far from the Madding Crowd is..interesting. Hehe.
11 wins! Yay!

...the number 5 bus. I think that the route between St. Laurent and my house was purposely planned to make me feel like screaming and throwing large objects when I happened to be stuck taking it. It is the most ridiculous route ever. It should not make people feel nauseous to go through Vanier. But whenever I see that sign telling me I'm on White Daddies Road (Pere Blancs, whatever)I ask myself why I just made the largest mistake of my entire life. If I'm ever with you, and I say, "Hey, the 7 won't be here for 15 minutes, let's just take the 5", please, just throw me off a large cliff of in front of a truck. Both sensations would be the equivelent of taking that bastard of a bus, the 5.
No one wants to go to the stupid City Hall in Vanier. In fact, we waited for 5 minutes at the deserted hell hole. No one came. Why does the bus go to places no one EVER visits? Same deal with Island Lodge. Can't people walk one block to the next bus stop? God. No wonder America is obese, they're too lazy to walk a block. If they all had to take the 5, I think they'd be walking more. It's almost faster. After all, the 5 does go back and go over the same stretch of road twice.
I hate the 5 so much. Holy shit.
Because of this $&#z*& bus, I was late for my babysitting job, which went smoothly unitl the girl I was sitting had a birthday card crisis. It's honestly confusing, I won't outline it here, but you know how you were when you were little: you and your friend always fought about ridiculous things.
The 5 has ruined my saturday experience. If there's one bus you don't take this millenium, make it the 5.

Today was boring. Very boring. Except for....ummm....yeah nothing. It sucked.
Anyways...about five minutes ago I finished reading my book for English: "Far From the Madding Crowd". I really liked it, and am completely in love with the main character, Gabriel Oak. It was a real soap opera, but also very tragic. I almost cried. Almost. :P
Even though it's friday, there's like nothing on TV. I can't wait for 10:00, then I can watch 'What not to Wear'.
I had pancakes for dinner. But I'm still hungry, so I think I'll go make some food. I don't know what though.
Weather Forecast for next week: 5*C and rising! Tuesday should be sunny, with a high of 8*C. And sometime next week, it will be raining! RAINING!!! I wish it was raining men. Then I'd really have something to write about. Even cats and dogs would be more exciting then Physics.

I bought my shoes!!! I bought them, I did!!! At Le Chateau!!! Thank goodness for Claire, who saw them there. Kisses to her. Mmm....shoes.
I did very well on my calculus test (knock on wood). There was no question I didn't get. The last one I was suspicious, but the answer checks out: 10 supervisors for 5000 delivery boys. What is that, 1 for every 50? Anyways, it works.
Also had a physics quiz. That was mediocre.
But my shoes!!! They're hot pink!!! Squeeeeee!

So, yesterday Annie and I were in Montreal for the Howard Shore concert, which I didn't write about because I never update. Anyways, the concert was amazing. The soloists were weird (since they were different), but ok. They played the best stuff, and even used the Hardinger fiddle! I can sleep at night now. At the end, everyone clapped for like 15 minutes. Shore left stage and came on again like 3 times in that period, and everytime he reappeared the shouts just got louder. It was the largest standing ovation I have ever participated in.
We got some shopping in, and I bought two shirts at Gap (how Montreal). I also went to Urban Outfitters, and saw the love of my life. Claire was right, they have tons of "OMG cute" shoes. I want these! :( 
Annie told me not to buy them, because they cost alot, and who nows how much I'd wear them? They have similar ones at Le Chateau, but I don't know what they look like up close. So I'll go after school.
I can't beleieve I just wrote a journal entry about shoes.

I am so glad it's the weekend, but so far I haven't done any work. I'm so bad... I should do some before dinner. I have been watching movies on TBS all day. I'm so tired of lounging. And it's snowing again! Why! Mother Nature has a sense of humour. Augh. It's so unfair. My Dad and Brother (who has no school anymore) are in Bermuuda right now, until next wednesday. It's like 20* there. With rain. I wish it would rain here. I hate being stuck inside with terrible car commercials and bad hip hop videos. Maybe I'll cut my hair. It's starting to look like a mullet.

This update is brought to you by: Alex!
The colour of the day is: Pink!
On the bus ride home today, I had some thoughts. Absolute nonsense, of course. I was remembering when Annie and Karina and I were walking down Laurier after swimming. We were walking past the fire station, and were laughing at the wooden men. Karina said: "Wouldn't it be funny if someone set those wooden people on fire?" I wish someone would. That would be ironically hilarious. The buses at this time of year are so dirty. The window where I was sitting wouldn't close, because it was *frozen* with salt. Ugly, ugly, gross, snow outside. But at least the temperature is pleasingly mild. I opened my jacket on the stroll home, and had an unusual sensation: warmth!
Only 30 pages of reading tonight for English! Sweet cherry pie! And Survivor's on tonight. Tonight proves an excellent oppurtunity to catch up on homework, sleep, and The Sims!
I was thinking of applying to a job at Fancy Sox tommorow, but I don't think I have the time. I have a heavy school schedule, and with work on top of that- yuck! I just don't know. But I need money. I wish my grannie would hurry up and win the lottery.
Calculus was great today. Alex bought us candy, which was very nice. So we made him buy us drinks too. Haha!
My mom bought some cheesecake. MMMMM YUMMMY.

So it's thursday...oh well. I won't go into details about my week, because it is never really any different.
I'm starting to have serious trouble with my mom. She has been so overprotective of me lately, so I call her 'smother'. She drives me nuts. Sometimes I just give her the cold shoulder, which is terrible. I think I am a terrible daughter, especially because she is always doing so much for me. I was so grumpy today, and I wrote about it in my real journal, and left that lying around, so I hope she doesn't pick it up and read it. I would be so upset. I hate having rows with mom. I do love her. She is just so frustrating. Maybe she's worried about university. But she should leave the worry to me. :S
I'm typing on Annie's laptop right now. 3/4 of J.A.K.E is here, and we're watching TV. We made a giant cookie from a pillsbury roll. And Karina drove us in the jeep. Annie and I felt so cool. ;)
Yesterday we saw Love Actually, which is one of the sweetest movies of all time. So cute, I smiled so much. The popcorn at the Bytown is very salty, which made me sad.
Leanne, your hair looks very cute. Like Little Debbie. I love it to pieces. I told you that. So don't worry so much. Just get me free snack cakes, OK?
Yesterday, we had an uber long LOTR meeting after school. The costumes look amazing, but unfortunately they are the only measure I have of the production. Sure, the costumes are smashing, but that's a small fraction. What if the effects are pitiful? I hope not. Semi was yesterday too. I didn't go (I'm SO clever) but Claire did. I hope she posts how it was (Hint). I'll guess that the music was shit.
I'm going to hug my mom when I get home.

I am sooooooooo sick right now. I have a terrible cold, and my body feels broken. My head hasn't felt fully attached to my shoulders since 3:00 this morning, just one of the many times I woke up last night. I feel crummy. I feel bored. I feel tired. I haven't had a good night's sleep in a week. My terrible sleep has been accompanied by the strangest dreams ever. I had a dream about a guy who was afraid of stairs, and wouldn't get on to an airplane because it would involve climbing stairs. Acoording to Annie's dream book, this means whoever was in my dream was "afraid of reaching goals" and "afraid of commitment". Annie and I decided the guy is my dream was my future husband. Haha. And yesterday, I had a strange dream about the fellowship from LOTR. They were driving a space ship. I'm not even going to try and interpret that, because it's so retarded.
On thursday night, I had to babysit again. It went better, the kids weren't as grumpy. I got to bed at a decent time, but I had broken sleep, and the stairs dream. Then on friday morning, I had to wake up at 5:45 (a mere 15 mins before band wake up) for swimming. I am so out of shape, I swam like 2 laps and became exhausted. Old people are funny to watch swim. There was one man in my lane who was doing the strangest stroke I've ever seen. He would start by doing something that looked like a crawl, but then did this weird kick with his legs that made him look very peculiar. Swim Caps are very unbecoming. Karina and Yvonne didn't come, so Annie and I went into the sauna, which Karina apparently hates. I have to admit, I hate it too when my face feels like it's on fire.
On Friday night, we went to Annie's, and watched one of the worst movies ever made: Crybaby. It was Grease gone terribly wrong, and it was laughably bad. Annie loves it, because Johnny Depp is in it. Annie thinks it is funnier(ergo, worse) than the Faculty, but really nothing can top that. We also watched Shakespeare in Love, which is so beautiful. I think my back may hurt from lying in a terrible position against the wall in Annie's *new* room. Her room is so awesome now, I am so jealous! She has tons of privacy, and has everything she needs. Except food and a washroom.
This morning I went shopping with my dad to buy my mom a gift for her birthday, which was in January, but she wanted to celebrate it now. We went to that funny store on Beechwood, Thyme and Times Past(or something like that). The place smells like old flowers and rose soap. We also bought a lovely chocolate cake which I am looking forward to devouring.
Milk goes well with cake.

This week is taking forever!! Argh!
Yesterday was a good school day, but I had to babysit at 7:00. Not a normal job, since I had to pick up one of the kids at his gymnastics. You all saw the weather. It was dreadful getting there, and getting home. The reason I had to pick him up is because the kid's dad has a sore back and can't really move, which really sucks. But it was also bad for me because the kids were grumpy-they weren't used to seeing their dad so immobile. Anyways it wasn't a happy experience.
This week, teachers are giving tons of review quizzes, and it is driving me insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also didn't go swimming today, because yesterday wore me out. But now I have to babysit tomorrow, and I have band, so it is a long day. I really want to swim on Friday. Right now, I think strenuous exercise would be relaxing. Plus, there's a sauna. How awesome is that?
Buan taught our physics class today. He wasn't soo boring, but his notes were wild. It makes you appreciate Ms Hewitt's lessons so much.
My keyboard shelf is broken. Luckily, the piece of something that was stuck under the "T" is gone. But my keyboard keeps hitting my knees.
I think I am getting a cold. My eyes hurt. It is 9:00 and I want to sleep. But, whoops, I have to study Chemistry. Fuck Chemistry. I always hated it anyways.
Bah Humbug. Wake me up when the temperature is above 15*.

Today, I beat Stephanie at Chess. I think that was my greatest accomplishment of the day. Claire helped, though she isn't very good, so I mostly just ignored her.
I forgot my pencil case AGAIN today, but didn't need it, so that's cool.
My semester is terrible. This term, I need a better work ethic but I do feel much more motivated this term.
My grad pics came today. God, I'm absolutely gorgeous.
My lips are chapped. I want Spring to come. I am going to murder the groundhog that announced six more weeks of winter. Wiarton Willy, you're on my list!!! >:(
I am going to go swimming before school tommorow morning with Annie and Laym. They go everyday now, perhaps they are crazy, perhaps they want to keep fit. All I know is that I want abs.
