*hrm*

You people should stop bothering me about ... stuff. I mean, what if I don't have an answer? And Sam, you are pure evil. Like evilness. If anyone tries to dispute that, I'll be there defending your title.

But I know one thing now! So Sam, you only have ONE piece of info to bargain with! Bleh ... alright ... I will agree to tell you sometime. Eventually. Only ... it might take a while. Or will it?

That's for me to know and you to, well, not know.

I think I'm starting to neglect my blog. Or, at least, to neglect the purpose thereof. Because stuff has supposedly happened and I haven't bothered to post it or anything.

Ai wells. Catherine, you simply MUST go to Toronto! Sam and I are sending you there as our personal representative (and you know I'd go if it were ANY other weekend T_T)! And think of the team -- they need you! As for the money ... well, what was Subway for?? It'll be FUN, ever thought of that? ^^ GO!!

Hey, I made it through today's English class! *.* Astounding. I barely knew what I was doing; I was just writing ... stuff. The World Lit paper wasn't supposed to be this frustrating. And then I think of my EE, which is basically an extended World Lit, and shudder. Eeeeww -_-

Hahaha Chen, I like your jacket *^^* nice and ... warm. Kept me warm in math. Math was actually funny today ... people kept saying weird things that sound hilarious out of context, and George was writing them all down for the annual or something. Dominic kept making snide comments on the side and so was Marc ... one sits in front of me and the other sits behind me, and the two combined keep me awake in class. Oh, and we got our tests back. Yay! Only I dunno why Chen let me keep his jacket after lunch, since his keys were in there and I might not have met up with him again after school. o_O I think he just forgot.

You know how it feels to want something and yet know you shouldn't?

Awww ... I miss Newcastle. >_<" It already seems like so long ago. Should I even continue the narrative? It's all in my head anyways.

Now where was I ..? Saturday was mainly Self-Directed Study day. I finished my data collection fairly quickly ... I don't mind labs, I just hate writing them up! xF And evil seagulls ate the beginnings of Sam's experiment, which was no fun (don't worry Sammo, I'm sure we'll look back on it someday and laugh).

Kayaking was fun though! Even when Chen tipped getting in and when Mike capsized twice! xD Why am I laughing? We saw a seal too! That was very *_*

My sub-group D2 was responsible for dinner prep that Saturday. My job? Stirring 2 huge cauldrons of spaghetti sauce ... perfect situation in which to recite last year's Macbeth quotes ... it might've been boring but Chen and Shannon came and hung around. And now I've got Chen's old Chinese songs stuck in my head! Bleh ... I didn't even get to see Chen do dishes cuz I was washing them myself ... I feel so short-changed! *frowns*

Early morning walks along a beach are fun. Even if it is just garbage duty. Because the beach was prettyful. *^.~*

YAY *.* back from Newcastle!! Fun like fun-ness! Wow ... I haven't had so much fun since Saturna in grade 9. And here I thought it would be all field study and work ... we ended up having quite a bit of free time. Free time rox! Especially when there are card games to play and stones to skip and a beach to wander around in ...

I have a feeling this is going to be long. Hopefully not as long as when I wrote my diary entry on Sunday night, because that was long ... like, 16 pages long o_O. Yeah.

Woke Friday morning, 4:00 am, gave Chen his wake-up call, then phoned Sam but it didn't work (she later phoned me). Hey, I can run overtime on 3 hours of sleep! It's amazing *.* especially considering I didn't sleep too well the following night. It was freezing in the pavilion and I woke up too early and couldn't fall asleep again.

What happened on Friday? Oh yes, a bunch of us were weaving daisy chains on the grass. Sam and I depleted an entire section of the lawn with our oh-so-complex braiding method. Then I seem to recall skipping rocks ... and things other than rocks. And frisbee with Sam and Chen and Marc and company ... but then after a while I guess we got evil and started throwing the frisbee so other people would have to run to catch it. Much fun-ness.

After dinner was fun too ... with the campfire and marshmallows and ridiculously huge chocolate and star gazing ... and then Sam got annoyed ... but I'd prefer not to go into that ... anyway, I'll continue another day.

I love you all~! <3

My apartment is being completely renovated ... I repeat, completely. There'll be new paint and carpet and tiling and floorboards ... the works. It'll look nice, yar, but why now? It feels like we've just moved into this place o_O and I can't find anything!! Plus the computer's basically on the floor ... and my bed is out on the balcony -.-;;

So utterly confusing. Like chaos. Or entrophy. I pieced 2 sofas together and slept there last night. It was fun ^^; Ehhh ... I feel so disoriented.

Cat and I hung around after school to watch -- er, "manage" -- the hockey game. We left near the beginning to go visit Ideal cuz Catherine needed to talk to Aaron about Mini Bang distribution, but no one appeared to be there, so we walked back. It was such a prettyful day *^^*

And then as we were about to leave, Alex waylaid us. BAH! x_X I was like, Nooo ... I seriously can't stand the guy. Actually, I think I'm too mean to him ... arr, guilt-tripping myself. I assumed he wanted to talk to Cat and not me because, well, she's obviously his favourite. *wicked grin* So he kinda cornered her while I wandered away to talk to Gary.

So sorry for ditching you there, Catherine. _-_ But Gary is just so much nicer to talk to than Alex. And the day ended by bumming a ride home off Gary. Win!

Virtually done the French project!! Score! It only needs to be put together and edited ... then it's finished! Yar!

Go figure ... we worked all weekend on that thing, meeting 3 days out of the 4. James' place on Friday and Saturday; Sam's house today. That's how sad it was. French music video ... *ppbffftt* I don't ever want to hear either song ever again.

How many times did we film? How many times was I compelled to sing? Too many o(>.<)'9" I'm in far too much of that video. And my voice is also heard far too much. I don't care what you say -- I'm not the only one who can sing. That was just an excuse, wasn't it? xD

And I still can't believe you people made me push James. That was so incredibly mean. I mean, I drove the guy to his death! (I *am* taking custody of the video afterwards, and I'm going to burn it. You can't stop me.)

What else ... I bruised my knee against the balcony door frame. And Sam, your mom is hilarious. Miar har har!

It just occurred to me that I forgot to mention going to see Romeo & Juliet at Churchill last Tuesday. Much fun-ness ... cuz Shakespeare set in feudal Japan isn't something seen every day ... and we knew so many of the actors. The bad thing is I've seen and studied and read that play SO many times that I knew what they were saying ... and I knew what they were going to say ... and I knew when they messed up @_@

And Alex makes me mad. Mad like Madness!! But Sam and Catherine and Bobby already know that. GRRR!! Can't stand him. BAH!!

James' house is super-win! *.* J'ai deja memoriser les mots pour les deux chansons que nous utiliserons. Still can't believe you guys are making me sing. I don't sing!! For an audience, anyway xD

Easter long weekend is coming up (yay ... French project -.-;)! And I didn't fail my Chem test like I thought I would (alright, so I didn't really think I would fail). That Chem test though ... I made such stupid mistakes! Usually I don't make stupid mistakes ... what was I thinking? I blame it on Link Crew _-_ cuz it was distracting. What was our class average, anyway ... 73%? Or was it 63%? Bleh, that's ... IB! Hahaha >_<

Whatever are you referring to, Sam? Chen and I speak English all the time! ^^ Yes ... hehehe, we actually have a reason for speaking Mandarin ... it's to taunt you, of course o_O



which smilie are you?

Tired ah ... falling asleep at the computer ... maybe I should go sleep? Hrmm ... parents aren't home at the moment to kick me off, so I might as well stick around for a couple more minutes ^^

I am SO not joining Link Crew again next year. As far as CAS hours are concerned, I tihnk I'm good. Besides, I wouldn't want to go through that pre-September prep again. And today with the ESL classes ... *ai* pathetic, pathetic people ... u.u

Okay, that makes me sound very mean. What I mean is, what Bobby said last summer about Mandarin and Cantonese speakers choosing to speak their language and their language only ... I just never realized how right he was. It IS annoying for people who don't understand. And even thought I DO understand them, it's still annoying. It's like they don't even attempt to integrate (like water with a non-polar substance!! o_O) ... and they'll need to if they want to survive in this English-French speaking country. I don't think I'm articulating effectively xD

Anyway. And mon dieu, that class was rude. Rude and infantile. Churchill may be at least 75% Asian, but still. Bah.

Finished Bio~! Yay!! Actually finished a while ago, but hey. Now that I've gotten that off my back, I can go sleep. Why does David follow me around everywhere in the house? o.O

I need an initial space-filler; my blog always looks so blank and empty after I archive. Hence ...


Are you NASTY or NICE?
Quiz made by Angela

I kinda got a job offer today *.* sort of. This lady's willing to pay $20 for me to teach piano! *.* Totally unexpected. But still ... whoa. I know I'm no professional. When I first started learning piano (I think I was 8) my lessons only cost $10 per session. And I'm not even taking lessons anymore, unless you count the guidance Andrew gives me. Now that I think on it, I could get CAS hours for this too *.* but I don't think I'm gonna take up the offer. I don't think I'll have the time for it ...

My mom doesn't think I'll have time for it, either. xP I'm usually up past midnight (I know, can't compare with all you other IBers; I'm almost always asleep by 1:00). Not that I'm always working till then, mind you ... sometimes I'm reading. _-_

Oh yes, wedding today, heheh. Mmmmm food ^___^ Turns out I do know the groom ... not the bride though ... and it's their second marriage. Somehow it seems more romantic when the couple are young xD *lapses into a weird mood* The ceremony wasn't too interesting >.< Rebecca and I went outside afterwards and played with her digicam! She said she'd e-mail me the pics.

Electronic things are fun to play with~! Sarah wants a tape recorder ... and a digicam ... and SPEAKERS!!
