that was sadly hard for me.... i tried to think of a variety of different acts, but apparently i dont listen to that many groups
so it's finally stopped raining... YAY
so yesterday i went over to cristinas house at 11 and seriously stayed there till almost midnight. i was her stalker :D!! yay!!
hahaha.. anywhoo... we were just reeealy lazy all day. we watched Honey which was ok, we went out for lunch.. at the mall! whoo! and then we rented Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and i bought Le Divorce. we watched Confessions which was ok.. not that great, and then cristina kept on playing the stupid ass music video over and over and OVER again... i was gonna shoot her, but then uma came over after work and cristina was like "hey uma, have you seen this music video?" and played it again... i swear i had that stupid song in my head all evening.
so then the three of us went to east side marios for dinner, went to fabricland and then uma went home and cris and i watched le divorce.... arnt we like the most exciting people ever!! but it was all fun :D
tomorow is the Liverpool vs. Porto game... i'm excited, but not as excited as uma .. wee... i should stalk MO.... this is gonna be my only chance to stalk him
*jumps around in excitment*
so, cristinas coming to the rennisance fest on saturday, umas a maybe... anyone else??
everytime i plan something like a trip to my cottage, or a party or something, it always ends up not happening or being ghetto becasue like one person comes... meh. whatever.
i had more to say... but i dont remember.. meh....
so.... i literally have spent my entire day on my computer.. well i watched a bunch of tv in there as well. but still... i did nothing, the whole day.
i made a new layout... but then i didnt like it... i spent awhile, i made a few different versions, i even went back and looked at a old retro inspired layout that i never used featuring Gwen Stefani and Dita von Teese, but i just couldnt seem to get anything to work... i've been trying for weeks to think of something to make a layout out of. but nothing... bah. so today, i made a layout, the side graphic that would have been over there ---->> looked like this... and i really liked it.... yet i didnt. bah. my mind is so fickle.
anywhoo... for those of you who care, they 'hey mister' part is from Goldfrapp - Yes sir, which is a remake of Bacarra - Yes sir i can boogie, the "fuck you mister" and the top lyric are from No Doubt - Excuse me Mister. yay. now dont you all feel enlightened?
so the beatles thingy i went to last night was fairly cool. there were maybe 20 people there, it was very small and exclusive feeling. it's at the BCE place which is where the Hocky Hall of Fame is, and it was kinda at the end of the front atrium, so it's not like in a room or anything, the pictures looked amazing, apparently the negatives were in such bad shape that they wouldnt have been able to process them normally, they were too thin and old, so in comes HP. meh. i'm not gonna go one much about it all.. it would bore you to death. but the photographer was there, and he took us on a tour of the pictures and him telling is story and such was very cool, if you are a beatles fan, that would have been amazing. we got a book of all the pictures when we got there so he signed it for my mom.
ooo... and the HP people had cameras and printers set up and they were taking peoples pictures infront of the pictures of the beatles, so i now have pictures of my dad and i with the beatles :D
my dad wouldnt steal me a camera, or the laptop, or the printers.. even the big printer that printed all the pictures.. though that one was huge so i understand that. but he coulda pocketed me a camera. i would die to have one of those cameras.... 5.3 mp... small too.. drool...
so... i haven't felt very much like being online recently. i have pretty much only opened MSN so that i can check my e-mail, because i'm too lazy to go to the hotmail page to do that, and other than that, i'm never on, or on at 2am, or i leave my computer on and msn signs me in randomly, and people msg me, and i never msg back because i'm gone for hours. it's strange, because i miss talking to certain people who i would usually talk to daily, yet it's my own fault because i'm feeling very antisocial. meh.
anywhoo... so i haven't really updated recently, as you can tell. the same phobia that kept me away from MSN, kept me away from blogger. the only site that i kept updated at all was my deviantart site, because i'm a whore about that. i constantly check it, which is a bad thing. i'm addicted. bah!
moving on..... so Thursday, i went to ballet class for the first time in like two years. cristina made me. i felt very, unskilled next to cristina who is this great ballerina, already on pointe (which i am very excited about) and my sister kathleen who is this good rhythmic gymnast. i felt short and chubby and inflexible. i have never been flexible, neither has my sister, but b/c of the gymnastics she is now. and next to cristina whos like a rubber band. bah. but i was surprised to see that i actually remembered my shit, and i did fairly well, i only really fucked up once, and that's because i was following cristina, and she messed up. it was kinda cool, there were only the three of us there, and its $2 for an hour. so if anyone wants to come, you dont need to know how to dance at all, come next Thursday at 8, it will be fun times :D
Friday i went to Burlington with my mom, brother and cousin who's staying over for a few days to visit my great aunt. i don't know how many of you remember, my great uncle died a year or so ago, and now shes all alone and fairly crippled (shes 87) so family members go down a lot to visit so shes not so lonely. she was so happy to see us, we went out for dinner at this lighthouse place on the lake. 'twas ok. after dinner us 'kids' went to a park and i swang on a swing. i :heart: swinging. i forgot how much i loved swinging. so now apparently, jacob (my brother, for those of you who dont know... i'm gonna stop putting 'my brother' or 'my sister' after i say their names, if you dont know who i'm talking about.. too bad) and i are going down on Wednesday this week to paint and clean her windows. fun times. hopefully that wont take too long. i dont really want to go, but i should because it's the right thing to do.
today i went to the renaissance festival with my sister, mom, dad, cousin and my sisters friend. today was the day the festival opened. it was such a fucking great day. amazing. i love that place so much. there are four acts that are very good, men in tights who do a stage act of plays, but they have members of the audience come up and play out the characters, even though i've seen most of the shows about a dozen times, every time is different, and funny as hell. then there is Zoltan the Adequate, who does a magic show, and again, i've seen the show so much, but it's amazing each time, again, funny as hell. then there is the Mud Show, which you kinda have to see to get, but it involves mud :D and the best act today, i saw them three times, The Tartan Terrors, who involve bagpipes, so you'd think they'd be bad, but they rock :D i want to go back next weekend, so that i can see the Tartan Terrors before they leave (theyre only there for three more weeks)
i was gonna ask Uma to come with me, but it was very short notice, so i didnt. i want to go again next saturday, anyone want to come with me? i promise you'll have fun :D
i'm gonna edit this blog later when i'm not so tired, i'll add some pictures so you can all see a bit of what i did today
come next weekend!!
i need to go shopping before monday evening and buy a top that will make me fit in with business atired people. so i'm looking for a dressy top, for this cocktail thingy. my dad gets these invitations every so often to events. weve all been to tons of hockey games and basketball games in great seats for free (the seats with boxes under, with free food, score!) becasue companys want to talk to my dad. thats how we got the matchbox20 tickets last year, and thats how i went to the toronto film festival last year. so on monday, there is this party for the opening of some photo exhibit for these pictures of the beatles. my dads going becasue the president of HP canada wants to talk to him, so i get to go and see these pictures, i think we get a copy of one or two.. i'm not sure. i'm excited :D i'm debating wether i should tell the HP guy that while i love my HP computer, the DVD player is fucked (when you play a DVD the sound comes out all shitty ) and i want a new one.. or something. maybe i can make him give me a kick ass camera. hmmm... i should consider that too.
anywhoo.. the point is... i need to go shopping, someone come with me!! oh that and i'm unemployed so i cant spend much money.
:EDIT: here are some pictures from the renaissance festival yesterday, i've made them really small so that i can put them on photobucket
[x]MOOD - good, tired, feet hurt
[x]MUSIC - Evanesence - Even in Death
Fortunecity and Angelfire can kiss my ass! i think i have solved my layout problems. i have found myself a place to put my pictures, where the whole point of it is direct linking. yay! ... so my layout should be showing up for all of yous who it wasnt showing up for.
so cristina and i went out yesterday to see spiderman2, it was completley on a whim. she all of a sudden msgd me and was like 'lets go out.... now!' so we went, and i actually really liked it alot, considering i didnt like the first one at all, this was a vast improvement.
and all i have to say is, James Franco *falls over and dies*
so....... today i went to eatons center/queen st with my sister. twas ok. my feet are killing me, but 'tis all good. we went to two bead stores and picked up some more kick ass beads so we will be making loads more kick ass earings (or rather she will be and i will be telling her what to do), so if anyone wants some, ask me.
i went to the shoestore in eatons center where i got my LAMB purse to see if they had anymore purses, but they had like two of the really large versions of what i have, they are like twice the size of my hella hoboe. they looked like this. and then when we were on queen st, i saw another one of that shoe store, so i went in looking for a lamb purse, and they only had one, thats not even the current season, which is what i'm looking for. and then kathleen(my sister) told me about this store that she'd seen near the ROM that had a bunch of lamb purses, so we took the subway up to the ROM searched around for the store and when i found it, they again had a few purses from last season and had a few of these huge ass bags that were like half as big as me and a few things like this, but all last seasons prints. bah. so i spent my day searching for a purse, how was your day?
oh, my mom told me to ask my friends if any of them wanted to go to my smaller cottage for the weekend? (i have two cottages, the one i just went to which is big and you have to take a boat to and my grandparents live at in the summer, and another smaller one that you drive to and no one lives in) it's gonna be empty this weekend, and since it costs the family money to run it, they like to have people up every weekend. so no ones gonna be up there. if anyone wants to come up, just tell me. we could have a kick ass weekend :D
[x]MOOD - good
[x]MUSIC - Audioslave - Like a Stone
so yes... i'm having fun computer problems. yay. my internets all fucked, my DVD player is fucked (it was before though, so it dosnet really count) my cd burner is fucked (same as dvd player, this isnt new fuckage) and yeah... fun FUN times.
so .... my cottage trip.
we go there on monday around 7:30, everything went fine, my grandpa picked us (mom, sister me) up at the Marina and we went over (we have to take a boat to get to our cottage) eveything was good. (my aunt and my twin cousins were up at the cottage as well as my grandparents who live there in the summer)
then tuesday, my sister woke me up at 9 and was saying how my aunts dog wasnt doing so well so they were gonna take her to the vet. so i get up and watch them leave, my grandpa aunt and one of the twins were going to go to the vet. were all sitting around the cottage reading and stuff, doing nothing, when my grandpa comes into the cottage after a while all out of breath from running up the hill (our cottage is on the top of a hill... kinda.. meh) and was like "Zoe (the dog) just died" so we all had to rush down to the dock, when she was lying just infront of the boat.
i went up to my cousin (hes 12, the dog was 15, so hed had this dog his whole life) who was crouched in a ball rocking back and forth screaming "shes dead! shes dead!". Apparently she went onto the dock, took three dead breaths and lay down.
so zoe was a rather large dog, about 60lbs, and that part of northren ontario is mostly stone, like dirt does not go very deep there at all. so my grandpa found a crevis (?? sp) and they dug down as far as they could dig, and we seriously spent the whole day collecting stones from the lake, bringing them over to the grave, getting more stones and bringing them back. and when you have two people in their 70's who shouldnt do much hard work, two scrawny 12 yr old boys, my mom and my aunt who both have bad wrists, which leaves my sister to do all the diving down to get rocks (i dont like water) and me to carry all the big ones. FUN TIMES.
so we finally got all that done, and i actually wnet swiming b/c i was so hot, and being eaten alive by misquotoes. i have nasty bites all over me. they seemed to like biting places like my fingers and the back of my knees. fucking itchy. even now, i'm sitting putting stuff on them so they stop itching.
so after all the hard labour of tuesday, we were all plannng on doing nothing on wednesday. no such luck. we got a phone call after lunch saying that our new dock was ready, so we (twins, sister, grandpa and i) went to the Marina to pick it up. more hard labour. but at the marina there was this really cool dog, a golden lab, who was hanging around us with this log in its mouth. it wanted us to throw it in the water so that it would dive in and get the log. we all thew it in alot, even the dilevery guy threw it in for her to go get. twas cool.
so the dock took forever to put in, and becasue i didnt want my grandpa to have a heart attack, i lifted all the heavy cement blocks that anchor the dock down. but the dock looks great, so all the hard work was worth it.
then that night, when my sister was going to sleep, she cracked. she was crying and ranting about everything bad that happened in like the past two years. so my sister, mom and i didnt sleep till like 3, plus that huge ass storm that hit ontario, hit us around 3 am, and we were in the Bunkee, which is a seperate building from the cottage with bunkbeds and stuff. so the walls are thin, and lightning was hitting like just outside the doors. FUN. just what you want.
so thursday it rained all day, did nothing but read all day. which is what i had been planning on doing the whole week. meh. even though i only got one good day of solid reading in, i still read 5 books. it was kinda funny, b/c my grandpa would walk into the cottage and be like 'it's like a library!' b/c we would all be reading. were a reading family. my mom works at a bookstore and my aunt at a library.
and friday was amazing weather, but we left right after lunch, so i didnt get to do much :( we stopped at cookstown outlet mall on the way home and i got myself another pair of modrobes. i could seriously spend my whole life living in them. they are so very fucking comfortable.
and on the way home i drove by WR newmarket *tear*
apparently, WR unionville (the one i worked at) is being made into another nursery. my manager Adam said they were gonna do that, and Anne told my brother that she knows the people who are gonna open it, and it should open in august. so if i dont get a job, which is very likely, i shall work there. even though i hate gardens. i know theyll hire me.
anywhoo.... my cottage trip was ok.
i read the shopaholic books again, my sister read them for the first time b/c she was dumb and didnt bring anything with her, and my aunt read them too. i left them up there with her. theyre all very good books. if youre a girl, you should read those or read Brdiget Jones Diary 1&2, they rock.
anywhoo.. hope you all enjoyed reading about my fun trip.

[x]MUSIC - Emma Bunton - crickets sing for anamaria
i have apparently been living in a hole... or a rock or something along those lines.
now, i'm not a huge Michelle Branch fan, but i do own her last cd, and tend to enjoy her music.
i seriously had no idea she'd gotten married.
oh well.. the same thing happened when Britney Spears got married last time, i found out like two days later when i asked Emily why the newpaper we had just walked by said 'Opps, she did it!' and she looked at me like i was clueless and was like 'uh, she got married'.
intermolesting.
Michelle Branch & Teddy Landau
June 2004
Maybe it was something in the amps. Or maybe it was just that after laying claim to a platinum selling CD, a Greammy, an MTV Video Music award and a gig touring with pal Sheryl Crow by age 19, there wasnt much else exciting left to do. In any case, shortly before turning 21 on July 2, Michelle Branch-who a year ago told People she didn't have any interest in dating because "I don't have time"-joined such stars as Britney Spears, LeAnn Rimes, and Brandy and married young. The lucky guy? Her bass player, Teddy Landau, 39, who has toured with her for more than a year. The couple are keeping wedding details secret "for privacy," says a source close to Branch, who adds simply, "They seem very happy together."
anywhoo....
*shakes fist* i now have a fever thanks so very much.. and my nose is getting WORSE.. i dunno how a runny nose can get worse, but this apparently is. bah. at least my throat is better. bah.
oh.. and just out of curiosity, does anyone read this anymore? i can tell that i get alot of hits a day, thats the whole point of sitemeter, but does anyone read this? or do you all read this, and not feel like commenting? or is it just Mauro? *waves at Mauro* i feel like i'm talking to myself
meh
:edit: oh and another random note.. why have jessica simpsons last two singles been covers? can she not do her own orignal songs and be sucessfull? or is that too hard. just wondering. in both cases, i like the orignal versions much better than hers, especially with her latest "Angels', the first version was so much better.
:edit: ok.. this is the third time i'm editing it. hopefully the last.
anywhoo.. again.. i seem to be out of the loop. i didnt know Kittie had a new song/video. intermolesting. it seems to be an ok song, but the band is completley different without fallon and talena. besides, they were the only two members that i liked. meh. i shall keep my eye on kittie, who knows, they may surprise me, and put out a kick ass rockin album. they sound very different, softer? i dunno.
[x]MOOD - *sigh*..... and still sick thanks very much
[x]MUSIC -
*sigh* today is the end of an era.... i guess it's not really an era... but two years of my life. i went into WR to say goodbye to some of the people i'll never see again. i saw andrea, anita and karen who all huged me, and Adam who was 'mad' at me for quiting on him and leaving him alone when i said i'd never leave him.. yeah right :D ... but i'm gonna miss those managers. they were all great.
i saw a few carryouts, some of who i'm gonna keep in touch with anyways. and i saw Michelle, cristina and jacob.. who i'm of course gonna keep in touch with. i really have no choice with jacob, he does live with me and i happen to be related to him.
i took 'breaks' with michelle and cristina, and that was pretty much it. i just went in for about half an hour. the store was kinda busy, and pretty shitty looking and empty.
*sigh*
oh, but it was funny when Marco and Rich came up to Adam and i, and Marco was like 'get to work, stop talking to sarah' (joking) and then it turned into this whole thing where Adam was like how he could now flirt with me b/c i'm not an employee and all.. intermolesting. you had to be there to find it funny..... yeah.
nothing much else to say. i'm tired, my nose is running away.
i may go to my cottage next week... theres no reason for me not to.. i'm not doing the take down at WR b/c i'm not a guy, and other than that, i have really nothing else to do.
:edit: if the new layout doesnt show up, refresh a few times... for some reason fortunecity sucks (no shit!) and it takes them awhile to realize that i have a new layout
now i have to like dye my hair three times... bah.. well two times, one time bleach. meh.
anywhoo..... i really have nothing else to say. tomorow is WR's last day.. i'm gonna have to stop by and say goodbye to everyone. a few of them i'll see again, becasue we now stalk each other, but other ones, i'll probably never see again. which is odd... i saw some of these people like 30-40 hours a week, for two years. i spent more time with these people in the past two years than i did with my family. meh
:edit: not only am i now sneezing... i seem to now have mauros part of the cold. my damn nose is running.... ahhh!! ... *caught it*
[x]MOOD - bah
[x]MUSIC - Dirty Vegas - days go by (acoustic)
[x]READING - nothing
thanks to Mauro, Emily and Cristina .. and yes i blame you all :D .... i am now sick :D bah!!! it's just as well that i quit WR becasue i wouldnt have gone into work like this anyways. when you have no voice, you cant answer stupid questions.
so other than drink alot and lie around all day.. i have really done nothing this week. i was suposed to do so many things, but i didnt feel like it. on monday i went over to Cristinas house and watched 'The Company' (a ballet movie) and cris gave me some drug to make me feel better, some cold thingy. it did make me feel better... but then i got worse.
yesterday i went and saw Shrek2 with my mom and then later my dad took me to Ikea and to Tim's... but alas i'm am still on my quest for a new bookshelf thats cheap, looks nice and is not too tall. i'm only like 5"2 at the most.. i need to be able to reach my damn books. i just have way too many books. this is the by product of having a mom who was a libraian and now works at a bookstore where she gets a discount (score!) and having both my parents obsessed with reading. we could open a Science Fiction Library.
yes... before i bore you all to tears by talking about books... i shall go... attempt to eat :D

[x]MOOD - bored..... and sick
[x]MUSIC - No Doubt - Everything in time (London)
[x]READING - nothing... any sugestions?
so.... now i remember why i had a love/hate relationship with summer vacation, and why i usually eiether ended up gaining a ton of weight or becoming depressed, or both over summer vacation. it's so fucking boring.
i enjoy sitting around the house, doing nothing. i revel in it. i'm the kind of person who can sit alone for hours in my room and read a book or something and not get bored. and i'm not exactaly bored. but if i was a character in the Sims, my social meter would be all the way down to zero. seriously, for the last 4 days, i have spent like a million hours with my sister, and even more time with myself. i enjoy spending time by myself, but i've spent 18 years by myslef, and frankly it's getting a tad repetitive. luckully this year, my sister and i are actually at a age range where we get along.
but i was never one to call someone and make plans, frankly, the phone has and always will scare me. i've never been one to have very long extended conversations on the phone. i had a BF who made me call him every night at 10, and if i didnt call or didnt feel like talking for a long time hed get upset, like why the hell do people feel the need to talk on the phone for hours, even when theyve spent the whole day together? dont people need a break from each other? anyways.. i digress.
so i've never been a big planner, or very good at getting a group of friends together, all the so called partys that i've thrown ahve never worked out right in my eyes, even my birthday partys.. i'm not a very good hostess like emily.
so since i never call people, or plan any partys, or anything like that. my summers usually end up like this. the past two years i worked at a job where i would see at least two of my friends on a regual basis, and my summers were short b/c HS summers are short. But this year is alot different. my summer is alot longer.. but i spent the first part of this long summer working my ass off 40 hours a week, not fun. and now that i'm unemployed, everyone else is eiether busy working or gone. three of my friends have left, two for ireland, and emily is gone for two months. all my other friends are eiether working or have boyfriends/girlfriends that they would much rather spend time with.
so i'm gonna say this now.. i will actually try to make an attempt to do things with my friends this summer. hopefully other people will too :D i know i want to get people to come to the renaissance festival, but thats not for another few weeks. and i've been saying for years that people have to come up to my cottage with me, hopefully this year people will actually come.
funny story, my mom was already nagging me to go out on thursday and look for another job. i hadent even handed in my letter to WR :D and now that i'm unemployed, i have no desire to be employed at all... ever again. .. but i do need a job. anyone wanna hire me?
