Nan your a window shopper

Get up in the morning and you like your tea milkyYou fumble for your glasses coz without em you cant seeIts funny how I come round your house and im 20And I still have to wear all the presents you sent meI walk into your kitchen everything’s got a labelYou done your Christmas shopping and we're only in AprilAnd you wont leave your house unless your wearing your thermalsYour covered all in cat hair and your stinking like StrepsilsYour heading down the Bowls ClubHave another orange squashBowls are rollin rollin rollinYou cant walk right coz things aren’t what they wereYour ankles are swollen swollen swollen


Taking a look but you never buy Nan you’re a window shopper You wont pick it up if it's over a five Nan you’re a window shopperGet on the bus coz you still cant driveNan you’re a window shopperMad as fuck only just alive


Walking down the post office to pick up your pensionAnd then your off to Bingo Its become an obsessionSo wary of the kids when their wearin their hoods upAnd even if they smile at you, you think it’s a stick upYou only buy the paper to cut out the couponsYour saving 50p but what do you want with tamponsYour always at the doctor picking up your prescriptionAnd they throw in some K-Y just to ease up the frictionYou got a leak in your colostomy bagYeah its got a hole in hole in hole inAt the weekend your shopping with your trolleyIts sad how your rollin rollin rollin

heart breaking

that's heart breaking.
that hits me hard and brings tears to my eyes.
when you hear it, you never believe it, but when it happens to teenagers that live in your city, that you had the potential of knowing, to see people you know, who knew them and so on.

it just fucking brings you down.
that's terrible.


life is dangerous.. no matter what you do or where you go

sweet sweet

spent some time with Jamie. had a spare first block, sat with her in art. she's painting Mick Jagger just like AW did. sweet sweet.
i never worked out today. i shall tomorrow. actually, since tomorrow i'll be at home, i'm going to work out double. gonna run total of one hour. and i shall do other things. sweet sweet
then i shall treat myself to a movie. and no food after 7 pm.

i'm volunteering at my church on Sunday. i can;t wait. old people are the cutest. it's the only time i have fun washing dishes. i really like volunteering. it makes me feel like a good person, when others make me feel otherwise.
what's that word. inferior i think. what does that mean?? i remember it was said in Princess Diaries, the first one. something about not letting people make you feel inferior or something along those lines. i'm thinking Eleanor Roosevelt said that quote ?

anyways, i think it has something to do with not letting people make you feel down or some shit like that. the point is, i like that.
wow, all that trouble just to let you know i like that.

i danced in the hallways with Tyler today. i walked in circles with Alyssa today. literally. i didn;t just walk in circles as in my whole school, i walked down the hallway, and in the middle of the hallway amidst all the people, i walked in a circle... and continued on my way. Alyssa laughed. i love making her laugh. honestly, her laugh makes me laugh.
you know those people who have contagious laughs ? i love those people. because i'm able to laugh at nothing with them. like my cousin Kevin. when he laughs, i just cannot help myself man. it's just CARAZY.

i watched some of The Crucible today. i love that stuff. religions other than my own, beliefs other than my own.
i remember i used to read about Kabbalah. i think i might start again. try something new ya know. look at it from the other side, from above or maybe below. or diagonally.

i was a kid, i had a white Italian bible. i told my friend it was witch language and that only i could understand it. i was six or seven, and thought i was a witch. cool? i think not. i was a loser. haha

then the time i painted the side of my garage with the brown paint my dad left outside from painting the fence. i liked to paint. and the stucco was my canvas. mother locked me outside until i wiped it clean. clean, it did not get. so the mark is still there even to this day.

the time my brother hogged the sand bucket in the sand box. i would not tolerate such nonsense. i'm a selfish little person. so i wacked him over the head with the nearest sharp object. a spade.

i'm quite selfish. no doubt about it. and i've mentioned. it's frowned upon now. but i tell ya, in the future, it shall do me good. HA who am i kidding...

Jamie suggested taking a photography class. possibility.

then there's the times my room was a pig sty apparently. mother threw everything in a garbage bag. cried my eyes out until father or brother fetched it from outside.
i always disliked my mother cleaning my room. i never knew where anything was afterwards.

i miss Beverly and the people who inhabit Beverly.

Aquarius - March 14, 2007

You might feel like many things in your life are in a state of flux today. Certain people may not be fully cooperating with you right now, and don't be surprised if someone close to you might be acting a bit mysterious as well. If people aren't able to be fully honest with you, then maybe you'd be better off without them.

ugly kleenex boxes

so i woke up this morning, and i found a kleenex box with a note on it. it was from Heather haha. apparently she read about how i hate ugly kleenex boxes, so she bought me a really cool striped one. and i would like to tell her, if she's reading this, that it definitely gave me that spark of creaticity :P

i'll be honest though, i had just woken up and seeing something outside my room, i thought it was my birthday haha.
i was like, oh, it's my birthday. and then i read it and remembered it was actually March 14th, and that it was really only a kleenex box.
wow i am so dumb.

anyways, i went to Fresh Start with Nikki and Stephanie today. fell asleep in the car. i smiled at Lauren today in the hallway.

America's Next Top Model tonight! can't wait

really rewarding

Aquarius - March 13, 2007

Certain issues might be calling out for a little re-examination at this time. An old concern that has not thoroughly been resolved could lead to some trouble or confusion today. So be sure that you make every effort to get your points across clearly and to understand exactly what others are trying to say right now.

i worked out today for 50 minutes with Selena and Amanda. it was really rewarding. i hung out with Will and Alyssa at lunch, there was a huge fight. and i saw Joe and his girlfriend. i didn't say hi though, i wanted to avoid any awkward conversations. plus, i looked bad today and put almost no effort into my afro.

what i don't get though, is how come there's a HUGE herd of people going to watch a fight. i mean, when half the school had gone outside in a crowd, something is obviously going on, and the police is obviously going to go outside to check it out, and people are obviously going to get in trouble.

stoichiometry

wow i love it

oh jordan brimner

i went to Jordan's house tonight. it was really amusing.
we played some x box, watched some Saw 3 with his sister.
his sister is pretty sweet. she beat me in Mortal Kombat a couple times. she definitely knows how to intimidate her opponents that's for sure haha.
Jordan's pretty sweet too. even though he's a cheap ass player.
but i've got my dynamic duo, that;s all that i care about at this point. Sonja and Sindel got my back all theeeeeeeeeeeee way.

Jordan, if you're reading this, you better watch out next time we kombat each other again. i'm out to get you

nobody listens to techno let's go

i have to fill up this space fast because the previous font color doesn't go with my new layout so i have to fix it
and this entry will do that =)

there's a lot of music artists that are trying desperately to re-invent themselves. come up with someone new to attract a bigger crowd. Justin Timberlake's done it, Nelly Furtado, Good Charlotte, and Hilary Duff, a lot of others too. they incorporate a bit of dance/techno to their songs. that's what i've noticed, anyways. not saying it's a bad thing, but Justin definitely started it all. worked out awesome for him.

people may think they're just putting on a show. but what i've come to realize is that everyone is putting on a show. twenty four/seven.

people have said i put on a show for people. yes, that is a possibility. there's something about me people don't know. there are people who think they know me better them i know myself. this puzzles me simply because i change from day to day. one day i may stand for one thing and the next day i could go completely against it. when i stand for something, say i'm backing up one of my beliefs, if i am debating with someone it's really quite funny because in my head i am always able to think of things to go against what i say. i obviously don't say it because that would be going against what i am saying. i'm a really confusing person. sometimes i may start fights for no reason, and sometimes i start fights for very valid reasons.

i am unpredictable, i don't know myself, so how can others know me better than i do ? i am controlling my thoughts, i am controlling those little background thoughts that i'm thinking right now. i am misunderstood plenty of times. sometimes i say things the wrong way. i mean something but people take it as something completely different. i'm not too worried about it, though. i mean, i know my intentions, God knows my intentions. that's all that really matters to me in the end.

i remember learning something so valuable from the movie 8 Mile. k, so the point of rap battles is to diss your opponent right? well i loved how at the end he dissed himself so when it came to the other guy's turn, he was speechless 'cause he didn't know what to say that hasn't already been said. that's always in the back of my mind. sometimes i accuse myself of too much, so that at least no one can accuse me of it. i would much rather cut myself down instead of giving other people the satisfaction of doing it.

i actually really fuckin hate Hilary Duff. she is irritating me to the MAX.
i had a good nap today. i have an Italian mid term tomorrow.

i think i'm going run later on. i took my pills today. hopefully my face starts getting better. finally. since grade six it's been bad. doesn't that just suck ass ? i mean, all these years having to wake up ten minutes earlier just to put make-up on. once that's gone i'll be so happy.

i hate my kleenex box. why are kleenex boxes so fkn ugly. honestly, it bugs me. when i re-arrange my room (which is an frequent occurrence), it always brings me down that the kleenex boxes that my mom buys are so ugly. i mean, it's got a light pink background with these ugly white flowers on it.

when we were driving home today, i thought of an idea for a car. you unlock the car, sit down in the driver's seat, but you can't turn on the car unless you breath into a breathalizer installed in your car. if alcohol is detected on your breath, the car won't start no matter what. if no alcohol is detected, then it allows you to start the car. i told my mom my genius idea, but apparently she read something like that somewhere already. don't you just fkn hate that, it's so hard to come up with new things.
there's 6 billion people on this earth, it's hard to think that what you think is so original that no one else in the world thought about it as well. but when i think of something cool, i usually do nothing about it because i assume it's already been done.

i need to start looking for a job this summer. i would really love to go to Europe. i doubt that's going to happen. plus, i've done more travelling than people do in a whole lifetime. maybe this summer i should start getting work experience in a field that i would consider when i'm older. plus i'll get money. and i love money so i can't go wrong.

summer after this one though, i am for sure going nuts on travelling. fuck i love travelling. sometimes it's a downfall though. maybe this is a conceited statement, but i've learned a ton about myself through travelling. i mean, going to Rome, Florence, Venice, and Turin and places like that i discover a lot about my own interests. i love art and the significance of it. going to Rome, i developed that. i've seen more and experienced more. and coming back to a place like Edmonton, i realize how unimportant some things are when there's a whole globe to discover. i just get frustrated with being in this city where minor things are made to be a huge deal.

see, as of right now, i thought to myself "well, it depends. i mean, just because it's Edmonton doesn't mean it's uninteresting or minor. i'm not that much of a difficult person that i can't even enjoy my own city." i don't even know where i stand on things anymore. it's ridiculous lol.

maybe i'm like an animal and i adapt with the seasons. wait, that;s a bad analogy. i'm just a person that needs a change sometimes. i like my surrounding, setting and atmosphere to change. it gives me motivation. it's always the same thing and i become unmotivated and lazy. like my bedroom. i change it at least 10 times a year. not because i'm psycho (well maybe a little bit), but also because i like to walk into my room and have it different. i'm more willing to clean it and do my homework and in some cases, even be more social. that's just what it does for me.

anyways, this should be long enough to fill up some space. that's what it is to you guys, anyways, since i am pretty sure you won't read all of the above. but it's more than just a space filler for me, i now conclude.

hmmph

i'm watching the first season of the hills on mtv.ca
Lauren
"my new rule is to not date someone i would never want to break up with"

hmmmm

bladder practice


there was a time when i felt the need to justify myself. i now realize it was not my doings or my intentions to make this the way it is now. i've said what i had to say, that's all i can really do. if they want to make it a bigger deal than it is, go right ahead.

i went to the doctor's today. and i'm pretty excited. it was pretty funny. me and my mother talked. i love that woman to bits sometimes. there was a couple there, about my age maybe younger and they had a kid. and i asked her what she would do if that was me. i asked if she would disown me. she said she would. then i gave her a look and i was like "you'd never do that to me. that's horrible." and then she gave me the look back and was like "well you better not try and see what happens." and then she laughed. i told her i would probably shoot myself before she could shoot me.

i love Shakira's style. her hair is just so crazy wicked.
Breanne is currently on a Greyhound bus to Red Deer and she has to pee immensly, and she has to stay seated and she doesn't know if there's a bathroom. she's calling it bladder practice. wonderful right.

anyways. life's good just like that cell phone company.. LG or whatever... hahaha

Thursday, March 8

55 minutes later...

i love Special K cereal. i don't really like news broadcasters.
i usually say "i hate it when..." instead of "i hate people who..."
because i rarely hate anything with emotional feelings, so in this case, i'm hating the action the person is doing, instead of the person itself.

i boosted my french mark up. i ran and sang to 3 Doors Down. there are always those songs that i'm embarrassed to like, but they get me pumped up the most. like Ticket to Heaven. and then there's Going Away to College by Blink 182. and then there's I Write Tragedies.. oh damn forgot what it;s called haha. well, the song that sounds like that by Panic At The Disco.

anyways. my mother is hovering around me so bye bye

significant details

i haven't been able to write a whole lot, since my dear mother has taken the mouse out of my room. totally ok though, i shall fill you in very briefly:

sunday night went to Greg's show with Leigha and Lauren. it was quite alright.
Monday went to school, got second block of French as a spare so i went to Smitty's with bri and Alyssa. fun times, i am not going to lie.
Tuesday went to school, i don't even remember what i did that day. and the harder i try to think about it, the more i seem to forget. oh wait i remember. got off school an hour early, and went to Breanne's house where we ate muffins and played Mortal Kombat until 4 =) i love her
Today, went to school hung out with Jamie and Will in tha morning. had a headache, took a tylenol from Emily in Cosmetology, and then took three caffeine pills. at lunch, hung out with Alyssa and Amanda and Jamie. wrote a chemistry test that i'm pretty sure i did fabulous on. and then had French, where Mr F moved me once again, this time, with my back to Alyssa. it's funny how we always end up talking or communicating anyways.. after school went to Chinese Restaurant with Tyler and Dayleen, where Tyler made a contract of everything i own him from one and half years ago. it came to about 370 bucks. it included A and W, the hate fee, the friendship fee, the ruining his bet fee, the chinese food, and so on and so on. i love that boy. and i never thought i'd be able to say it, but Tyler really is quite the guy. and no, i don't love him that way. i love him in a brotherly way. went to fresh start at 4. came home slept for 45 minutes, now i'm here and i should go do my homework.

i will leave this in saying that this weekend i am probably going to Amanda's house with Alyssa. Amanda is someone i was friends with in junior high and we started talking again. i must say that i miss her dearly

"forgiveness in families"

"And I thought, all these things don't seem that much like life, when you're doing them, they're just what you do, how you fill up your days, and you think all the time something is going to crack open, and you'll find yourself, then you'll find yourself, in life. It's not even that you particularly want this to happen, this cracking open, you're comfortable enough the way things are, but you do expect it. Then you're dying, Mother is dying, and it's just the same plastic chairs and plastic plants and ordinary day outside with people getting groceries and what you've had is all there is, and going to the library, just a thing like that, coming back up the hill on the bus with books and a bag of grapes seems now worth wanting, O God doesn't it, you'd break your heart wanting back there."

exactly one year ago

if you go to my old blog, and read what happened on March 3, 2006, you will see why today is significant....

but i have someone new, so i think i'm doing just fine.
'specially now that my fifteen hours of in class drivers education is finally over. i can't believe they make kids do that. i felt like committing suicide, or having a mental/emotional break down, or go into a coma, or have a seizure.
it was the most restless, longest 15 hours of my entire life.
but i'm glad i got to spend it with Brittany. and that i at least got 96% on the final test.

like holy.

am i weird for thinking that ?

my mother dropped me off at 8 am at Tim Hortons. while listening to Coldplay and drinking hot chocolate, i read the photography book my brother gave me.
the scene you just pictured in your head looks comfortable warm and possibly inviting. but it was so cliche that i felt really uncomfortable just thinking about it.
am i weird for thinking that ?

i went to this site: http://www.j-roumagnac.net/index.php?x=browse
they're fabulous photos don't you think?
i don't. i was looking up top photographers and i found that. i don't know why but i feel like i've seen them all before... it's just so MONOTONE. i mean, there's the odd few that overwhelm you with a sense of peace. and they're not ugly photos. they just don't do anything for me.
am i weird for thinking that ?

okie dokie

day one of driver's education. my instructor's name is Patryck Pennyfeather. his friends used to call him 'light and cheap', just as his last name suggests. he's black and has a beard and talks like a jamaican mon. he's pretty funny. he calls us murderers because the statistics show that 1 person dies every day in collisions. so for example he might be talking about windshield washer fluid to clean the blood off our windshields. or he might say "so when it's snowy or rainy or bloody out..." and he even talked about cleaning our cars on a regular basis, because there may be a build up of mud and blood and dirt. he's a pretty comical guy i tell ya. spent 500 bucks for a stand up comedian. he introduced us to the Bambi effect. when there's a deer in the middle of the road, and you enter the 'oh shit' stage. and then he was like, and while you're 'oh shitting'....
he's pretty sweet. but nothing as sweet as a jamaican driving school teacher can be worth sitting in a chair for 7 and a half hours. i'll admit, he was pretty nice about it. he gave us a ten minute break every hour and even 30 minutes for lunch, which i used wisely, as me and Brittany went to the paki mart and i bought a month's worth of chocolate and now i feel like a big fatty.

anyways, i woke up at 6:45 in the morning, and i really wanna sit on the couch and watch MTV and my brother told me about this show, The Black Donneley's or something, and he said it just started and it's kind of like The OC. i'm gonna check it out. so now i'll have The Hills, America's Next Top Model, Dancelife, Entourage and The Black Donneley's as my weekly shows =)
last night Jordan came over and we played Diddy Kong, and then we 'watched' Resident Evil and then we watched two episodes of Entourage, which i absolutely totally love. AND i am pleased to tell you that the new season of Entourage starts on April 8th =)

on a good note, i felt really good last night. i mean, i was laying there and my head was on his chest and he was holding my hand and his arm was around me. and i don't usually talk about this side of my personal life, but this is important, because i hadn't felt needed or wanted in a year. i felt like i was outside my own body knowing someone was holding my hand and caressing it.

i guess i just remembered what that feels like and it made me really happy.

Thursday, March 1

i was in the kitchen washing a dish

when i was a kid, my mom cut my nails on a regular basis. one day i asked her if i could grow them out because there was this older girl at my school who had these really nice long nails and i wanted mine like that too. she told me the only way she would let me grow my nails, is if i did the dishes everyday to keep them clean, because the longer they are, the dirtier they become.
