birthday update
hey folks! it (was) my birthday today (yesterday now) and it was cool... I got to work and there's this guy there that likes me (i dont like him) and he gave me a dozen long stem red roses for my bday. I was scared and now theres a million rumours flying! so that was not cool...but then it was dinner with my family and I got some great gifts and we had some great food and it was great! then bowling with friends and that was mucho fun and Lynda gave me some really cool bowls and cups :D Then we went to crabbies (BIG surprise) but I left my wallet (including all forms of photo id, even grade 9 student card) at work so I couldn't get a drink :( oh well, I'll prolly go out this week sometime! Next weekend is a trip up to Manitoulin for me (yay) Monday tee and I are supposed to go fill out paperwork on an apartment that has been available for two weeks without an application............BUT an application came in today (sat) so we may not get it :'( I"m so sad! but we'll just keep on praying about it and hopefully we'll get into the right place for us! anyway thats my quick update, not a whole lot is new here so yeah! cant wait to see everyone at thanksgiving!

oh man!
well it has been a nutso week!!!! with the funeral and such. Anyway, tonight I went to Dorchester with Kerry, Tee, Kim, and Lynda to see Lost Coin. It was so great....great music, I won a t-shirt (very cool), AMAZING speaker, lots of kids came to Christ WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and then some amazing worship time (definately a God meeting) and some great prayer in the car on the way home!!! it was so great! anyway, I hafta work tomorrow and then its off to the fair! see everyone soon

update
OK.....so the wedding was amazing fun...so beautiful and GREAT!!! tee's bday was so much fun, we had a great time.......then today we went to Central to visit Kerry and ended up helping her move microfilm cabnits (still full) from central to the archives (down the front steps) and Tim Aldridge is in town (from England, visiting his brother simon) and he was there and he was the 'encourager' cause he didnt carry a thing! and Bradely was there too and me and tee were going down with this HUGE section and we were falling and slipping and tee was being squished and the two of them are at the top chatting! just as its about to fall they finally come give us a hand. then we still did the rest on our own. oh well, we're buff! so then there was this thing at Kerry's and a bunch of ppl were there to visit with Tim A. He ended up serenading me (twice) and I got a few kisses (cheek) and hugs and he got a pic with the two of us and said that when I'm 19 he could put it up beside his bed (cause then I'll be half his age + seven years and it is fine by the rule then!) lol it was fun! oh and my uncle died...anyway, I hafta work tomorrow so I should get going! see everyone later

quick update
k, so I got some news this morning and its easier to tell ppl on here than in person so here goes........... my uncle was admeitted to pallitive care last night (thurs) and the doctors predict that he will be gone before weeks end. So thats pretty tough but hopefully it'll still be a good weekend.

well
so its been quite a while since I was here last! wow! I should keep you university students up to date eh? well, I"m full time at GT now...and gregor works there now so its not so bad, I'll stay till something better shows up. Melissa's wedding is on sat so thats gonna be fun...but I cant hang out with lise and co b/c i work friday night and have the wedding all sat. tee and I found a place we want to go for but we're waiting for a call so hopefully we'll be able to get it! Its very quiet here, havent heard from a lot of people in a while (including the ones who live here still) yeah. OH and Tee's bday is coming up on monday so we're having a thinger at her sisters house monday night (anyone who's in town is invited). Happy bday all Sept babies! I got some pretty paper and stickers today so expect letters to start coming (if you emailed your address). Anyway, I dont know what else to include right now so I"m just gonna go head out and get ready for classics..........OH and last week this guy tried very very hard to pick me up at classics, it was funny! (dont worry guys, he failed) anyway now I"m really going! See some of ya soon, and the rest at Thanksgiving!

Come and Kiss me Kate!
So tonight I went and saw The Taming of the Shrew at the Festival! It was sooooooooooooooooooo great!!! I loved it so much. its definately in my top 10 now........tho Dracula and twelfth Night are still at the top! So yeah, that was great! Its kinda weird without everyone here....kinda boring and kinda sad. I miss hanging out with people, but at the same time its nice to have so much more free time to just sit. so yeah! not much else is going on........still looking for a new job...and an apartment so we shall see! anyway, i guess theres not much else to say so ttyl

See ya!
As I lye awake at night I think over the times we've shared; times past and times to come. People are leaving, changing, and moving on. It is bittersweet. On one hand there are new adventures to look forward to, new experiences to have, new friends to make, and the whole world is at your feet, ready to be conquered. On the other side is the past. highschool. friends. loves. memories. As each of us moves into a different stage in life, be it university, college, work, or a new highschool; we look back on the good times and the bad and remember what we had. (i think thats a song) As I look back I remember filming productions of popular fairy tales in grade 2. Fishtopia with tee. Foursquare by the portable. Pogs. Choir, even tho I could never ever see. being on the radio. the portable. the hill with our bikes, till they put the fence up. walking to school with connor and inventing things in our minds as we went. I remember the move to Juliet....all alone in Sproats class (7C). Big Mac, the Hammer, Simpsons and Seinfeld. Mr. Thistle crying and quitting, Mrs. Bitch-ly's reign of terror. Then Mr. Taylors class (8T), guitar playing during math tests, filler projects that didnt need to be done (bunnyland), library helpers and chat room time with "Me". Mr Languois ball game (7C kicked all your butts), Mrs. Vallences bingo prizes and the restaurant project. Then highschool. For so long we were apart many of us, creating different memories, losing contact, leading increasingly seperate and different lives. Then we came back together again, sharing memories and renewing friendships. PIE, peer pressure, breathing is over-rated, but this is my real chin!!!, the dog is walking in the mashed potaoes, but its ok, he has his boots on! The ONE project, 2xL, learning the art of eyecontact, wildwood, sleepovers, movie nights, boys (boys are stupid), so indirectly I've made out with..... boozing the children, the lake, learning to drive, pets loved and lost, prom, and so so much more. At the beginning of highschool we parted, going in seperate ways. Then we came back together, only a little at first toward the end of grade 10, then suddenly we were a group again (tho a much bigger one now), and now we are close friends once more. And once again we are parting for schools. We've established a pattern (well, some of us) that I hope we will not follow, I hope we never lose touch...but if we do, then I pray that we WILL follow the pattern and come back again. So, good luck to everyone in all your moves....come home often...never forget your friends....and no matter where you go in life, never ever forget where you came from because it will shape who you will become. I love you all, and as the tears start to fall, I thank God for the time I've had with you. God bless the future.

rebel at heart?
Its thursday and everyones talking about their plans for the weekend...theres a party here and a party there and do you wanna go to one? How much alcohol are you taking? Oh yeah...I've got two cases of such-and-such and a bottle of stuff.

Then its monday 'so how was the party? oh I heard about YOUR weekend....you were pretty smashed friday and sat. You did WHAT!?! with who??? how many is that now? Oh man, I was so hung over! blah blah blah

This weekend I drank lots, slept and ate little...picked up and made out. I screwed up big time AGAIN and again and again and again....I've done it all summer....party, drink, do something stupid....feel bad about it in the morning...promise I wont do it again then go out the next freaking weekend and do it all again! what is wrong with me??? I was doing so well....not doing this bad stuff....I was clean and sober and male free. now look! Its more than 24 hours since my last drink and I'm STILL slightly hung over. And I feel terrible about doing what I did this weekend.....but I know that I"m not gonna stop.........I'll tell myself that at the next party (whenever that ends up being) I'll just go and not drink and not do anything stupid....but I know that its pretty much guarenteed that I'll drink and do something (or someone) GAH what is wrong with me???? I claim to be christian yet I keep f***ing up....I claim forgiveness but I cant be forgiven if I dont turn away from my sins, which I wont seem to do! FRICK! I really suck at this! i cant just follow the rules........I hafta be some sort of badass.....what am I trying to prove? who am i proving it to? what is so great about drinking? I felt crappy all day so why would I want to drink ever again? I have no clue, but I"m sure I"ll do it agian! GAH. good night

A night out on the town!
Hey folks! Its currently 2:16am and I'm safely home from Al's bday thinger. Dinner was nice, at Falstaffs. Then we went to Classics and man did I have a GREAT time! I started dancing around 11 and left at 2 it was great! I met so many people I knew and said hi to most of them....plus one guy from school whom I ended up dancing with and I gave him my number so that was fun :D;) He actually asked me to go to a party but I promised Jo that I would make sure she got home so I coulldnt go :( oh well, if I was out all night my mom would kill me! yeah...so Jo and I are thinking we're gonna go again next thursday night. It was great!!! anyway, I'm still coming down from the adrenaline! I'll be up most of the night I'm sure! G'night to those of you who are sleeping!

Best Sat night in a long time!
Hey folks! how'd the road trip go??? I hope well! Tonight after work my family and I went up to my aunt and uncles in mitchell for a pot luck dinner to say bye to Dan and Saddie (my cousin and his g/f) as they move to Halifax in 11 days. Then just as dinner got under way my uncle (who lives there and in T.O.) arrived with my other cousin mike!!!!! (he hasnt been home in 4 months) and no one knew he was coming cept his mom, dad, and bro so that was great seeing him again! Then Mike, Dan, Saddie, and I went to the Corn Fest beer tent and that was cool cause I ended up hanging out with Denise (dans old g/f who i really like...but I like both of them a lot so its all good). Then they were all going into the dance and I was driving home with my parents and they figured on coming home around 10 so I had to go back, plus I work tomorrow at 10am (no church for me) If it hadn't have been for work I would have just spent the night there and gone to the dance, but alas I've worked every weekend, all weekend for the past couple of months. So that was cool. And fri night I went to hear some friends play at Falstaffs and the guy wouldnt let me even sit in there cause I"m underage!!! I was like 'i'm not gonna drink, you can put X's up and down my arms if you like, i just wanna hear the band' but they wouldnt let me!!! gah! oh well, only one month to go! anyway, I'll be seeing people on thursday for Al's thing! (not tuesday tho cause its the last jr. high event for the summer so I wont be around). Anyway...I'm gonna head off to other websites!!!! see ya'll later!

Strange things are happening...
So yeah, I have yet to work a full shift this week. On tuesday I came home sick and today was the power outage (I'd been working for about 15min when the power went) so yeah, thats kinda fun. Tomorrow night and Sat night should be great fun...fri i'm gonna be going to a concert thing with Kim and sat I've got a family thing (my cousin is moving to Halifax so we're seeing him off) so yeah, I"m rather happy about this weekend thus far. VBS was great, I ended up going on Mon, Wed, Thurs. and Ultimate was GREAT on wed!!!!! I was guarding this 40 year old named paul and right near the beginning he was like 'so you think you've got me eh???' and we started pushing each other and such....then the frizbee flew overhead and we started running. THEN later in the game I saw it coming (for him) and we both started backing up and such and we jumped and kinda colided in mid air and I got my finger on the frizbee and he wasnt able to catch it, but someone else on his team did....but it was a great try to block on my part so I was excited! anyway, I'm gonna go offline and unplug for a while in case of another surge. I miss you guys...come home soon!

I've always wanted to be there, I've always wanted to help you. You wouldn't let me when I wanted to. So I gave up, figuring that I cant help if you dont want me to. Then suddenly you come to me for help. Suddenly I am the only one you can rely on. I didn't know what to do, except to keep loving you. It made life hard, it seems so cruel that when I can you wont, when I cant you will. I'm afraid to want to help you because you might decide you dont need it anymore, and then where am I? Back to square one, thats where. When you didn't need me I was a rock, when you did I was but a pebble. Last time you needed me I was on quicksand, this time I'm on a rock, this time I am a rock and this time I can help. This time I will.
