My feet hurt from yesterday. Me and my family went to the early mass, and then downtown (by subway). First, we went to this art store/gallery near my dad's work. The building was really really old--the floors were creaky and sagging! I saw a clock made out of a hubcap, scary handmade dolls, assorted earrings, assorted pottery, really cute cartoonish elephant statues (Elephant Circus--"Power, grace, and beauty in one cuddly bundle!"), and expensive paintings by Steve Sechi, this popart lady whose name I forget, and an annonymous artist whose paintings looked pixel-y. The gallery was in the loft upstairs. The creaky, old loft, filled with watercolour paintings by the Toronto Watercolour Society or suchwhat. Yeah, I think the gallery would be really creepy at night.
Er... hmm... then, we walked around and went into these other artsy-looking stores and looked at stuff (like ostrich eggs!). Then, we went to the Eaton Centre, and I had an ice-cap, and my sister had a Mcflurry, and my parents went looking at tables and chairs and shit in Sears, while me and my sister were in the electronics section watching Wayne's World 2.
We went out this sort of side door near Indigo, and there was this grassy maze-thing that me and my sister went into. It took us more than five minutes to get to the centre, and I think we looked like fools. Anywho, personally I think they should've had flaming walls instead of turf-raised-a-few-inches-higher-than-the-rest-of-the-turf walls.
We spent the rest of the afternoon at an outdoor art exhibit at city hall. It was soooooo cool and art-full and pretty! I saw a wheelbarrow made out of little bricks, a giant moose made out of scrap metal, bowls that looked like coral, huge ink drawings, huge paintings of various things, a painting of bok choy, weird sculptures that looked like vomit and sea urchins, a cartoonist, and tons of other crazy art shat! It was like... whoa! And I was like... whoa! And I couldn't buy anything because everything was so expensive--I was at a booth of really realistic watercolour paintings, and I saw a painting, smaller than a normal piece of paper, and at first glance, the price was $35, and I thought to myself, "Hey! If I had any REAL money with me, I could buy that!" (I had five bucks and $20 HMV), and I considered borrowing money from my mom, but upon closer inspection, the painting was $350, and I was like, "Damn!" and my mom laughed at me.
My dad and my sister didn't want to walk around and look at art, so they sat in the shade of some trees and waited... and waited... and waited. ^_^ After that, we went to Chinatown and had Vietnamese food for dinner, and then we went home, the end.

Tired. So tired. Oh! I've been reading another book by Will Ferguson, where he goes through Canadian history, and classifies people as either bastards or boneheads (ie. King--bastard, Clark--bonehead, Mulroney--bastard AND bonehead!), and it's funny, but I can't believe I actually read books like this. ^_^ On a completely unrelated note: no, Jessica, I don't think I ever saw/met Aran.

Sunday afternoon! I... went to Joan's house! Woo! And... she gave me a silver sharpie! Woo! And... we watched the Cowboy Bebop movie! Woo! It was funky, especially the part where that guy stabbed the other guy's chest... with his fingers! Woo! After that... we watched Slayers! Woo! Xellos is just so damn happy ^_^! He makes me smile! Woo! Joan's mom made pasta salad! Woo! I ate tons, more than I usually eat at BBQs, and for days afterwards, I felt bloated! Woo!

06:00 p.m.
Sunday, went fishing with Kyle&Co., and Tiffany&Co. As usual with these sorts of trips, we had to wake up at an ungodly hour (3:30am) to drive out and meet them at the usual place (McDonald's), then drive for hours and hours and hours (up past Port Hope), possibly stopping off in the middle (Cobourg) to eat something (an ice-cap and a donut). Also in Cobourg, we saw a shirtless, shoeless man come into the Tim Horton's around six in the morning, announcing that it was "coffee time!"; we stared.
Hmm.. so we got there, some small lock thing that we went to last year. Last year--or was it the year before?--Kyle and them got into the habit of inviting this other family with whom they are great friends. I don't remember much about them from last year, but this year, the younger of the two brothers (do I look like a person who'd bother with their names? I think one of them's called Ronald...) started getting on my nerves. Example: I need a chunk of worm, so I walk over to where Kyle and Fuck-face are fishing, and I go, "Hey, can I take a piece of worm?", while looking into their box of dirt, completely unaware that it's empty of worms. Fuck-face says, no, whines high-pitched and boyishly, "Heyyyy! We need bait too!" Yeah? Well fuck you, kid, I wasn't planning on stealing, the way you make it out to be, squealing out your ass! And my dear friend Kyle stood there, saying nothing, the dear boy. I think I said something along the lines of, "Fuck you", and then had to walk across the lock to get to the other box of dirt and worms.
Yeah, so I caught one medium fish, two small fish, and one very small fish. I think out of all of us, my sister had the most luck, number-of-fish-wise. Tiffany's mom, however, caught a turtle! Whoa! I was on the other side of the river/stream/lock-thing at the time, so I wasn't really watching, but I saw when they netted it out of the water, and also when it took a swipe at Kyle (haha... I mean... awww) and fell and swam away. While we were there, the lock opened once, as usual (three or four boats came out), someone hooked a fish through the eye (me) as usual, and afterwards, we had lunch together (not as usual, but it happens often enough). As we waited for everyone to go to the washroom and wash their hands of the fish smell, we had a good time littering the ground with tropical Skittles in our attempts to throw them up and catch them in our mouths. Kelly said the most hilarious thing to me on the way back to the cars. There was this dude who was walking the opposite way, and Kelly said, "Hey, he looks about your age... go for him!" and I laughed until I almost fell over.
Lunch, we went to... some place I don't know, and us kids sat (very squished) at one table. We kept on not having enough cutlery and/or glasses of water for all nine of us. Food was eaten, dirty jokes were told, insults were exchanged, all in all a typical affair. I hate how Fuck-face thinks he can make fun of Tiffany and my sister just because he sees the Luis more often. The little fucking sycophant doesn't mess with me though, because I can swear.
Coming up tomorrow: Sunday afternoon!

Last night, after dinner, we drove over to Natalie's house to return their dehumidifier. Yar, so we went, and they were out so we waited around for them to come home. When they did, we ended up staying 'til midnight. Go figure. Yeah, Natalie and Tiffany were watching some Chinese show, you know, the ones where all the characters are dressed funnily/historically, where everyone wears these robe things, and men wear funny little headdresses... I usually can't really tell the difference between characters; if they change clothes, I'm in trouble. They speak in proper Cantonese, too, so I can barely follow along, using the bits I CAN understand, the actors' (overdramatized) body language, and the background music. Oh well. And even though our family'd just had dinner, and their family'd just had dinner, my dad and their dad went out to buy MORE Chinese food. D.d I had some watermelon, and that was about it. And Natalie showed me her copy of the new Harry Potter book, though she wouldn't let me borrow it, because her other friend'd asked first :P Which reminds me, I still have to return The Pigman to Kyle and Co.

I just remembered something funny that happened during the religion exam, and I'm going to put it up here, so I don't forget:
One of the questions was really vague and bs-ish, and whoever'd written it had thrown in the term "spiritual blindness" for no reason. So someone asked Hyponen something like, "Sir? What do they mean, exactly, by 'spiritual blindness'?" Mr. Hyponen said something about breaking down the term by ourselves, and a couple of people got into the discussion (I forget who, because I was only half-listening). "Spiritual blindness" is sort of hard to define, but in the end, "blindness", we determined, meant not being able to see. And "spiritual" meant... spirits. Therefore, spiritual blindness meant not being able to see spirits. Har har.

Well. I'm back, and I've tons of stuff to talk about, but I can't remember exactly what. The past couple of days have been a blur--a long, boring blur. Well, when I was at home, anywho.
Uh.. sometime during the past four days, we (the family and I) went out for dinner at Congee Wong, and I'm pretty sure (but can't be absolutely sure) that we went and walked around Toogood Pond after that, waving away gnats and counting the piles of goose shit. Hmm, we also went out to the Starwalk Buffet. "International cuisine" my ass! It was all Chinese food! Well, okee, there was some sushi, and there was icecream and cake, but a) desserts don't count, and b) it's all asian anywho. The food was pretty good, and I ate mint icecream.
And we FINALLY rented Die Another Day ^_^. I LOVE THOSE CARS. I want that green convertible jag so badly. I cried when it died--not shitting you here, I really did. Well, what else about it? Not much really, I liked it a lot, much better than the new Charlie's Angels movie... which was rather... crappy. I mean, the special effects and stunts and shat were good, but there was like no story AT ALL. I liked the part where they were imitating CSI, though; it made me laugh, and I haven't watched CSI in a long time. And we (the family and I) saw it at the theatre in the Promenade. I never knew there was a theatre at the Promenade, and I was so surprised that I almost dropped my ice-cap. ^_^, ice-caps are goood.
And... this morning, we (the family, Kyle, his mom and dad, and I) went to pick strawberries! Apparently Kelly and Kelvin are at camp. Me and my sister found a lot of henry bugs, and the strawberries aren't that great this year--they were either ripe on one side but not-ripe on the other, or ripe on one side and rotten on the other... There were some really fun-looking deformed ones, though, and we weren't planning on making jam this year anywho.
Oh! And French rappers are cool! I saw some on the French channel, performing at that museum in Québec, and I was like, "Wow! I didn't know people could rap in French!", but I guess it was dumb of me to think that English was the only one and shit. Yar, apparently there's Chinese rap, too. D.d Oh! And, happy Canada Day, peoples!

Summer hasn't been as fun as I thought it'd be so far. The past couple of days, I've been stuck at home, and I've played more Connect4 with my sister than the past couple of years combined. I want to GO SOMEWHERE.

07:32 p.m.
Ugh... so much shat to talk about...
Okee, so I had one exam on Thursday, and two on Friday. After Thursday's exam, my mommy took me to McDonald's for lunch, and then we got groceries at No Frills. Then... after Friday's religion exam, I took a long, long time to actually get out of the stupid school... I had to go get the clay masks (MOE and mine), and my popart, from the art room, and then I found my religion textbook in Tim's locker as I was cleaning my crap out (apparently I'd given in Matt's... I have no idea how I'd gotten it) and had to run back to the relo to hand it in... I stood around waiting for Sally for some time... I went downstairs, and Michelle gave me a quarter and told me to go find Sally in the washroom "over there", because she had to leave (yeah, and I didn't?)... I didn't even know a washroom EXISTED in that hall! Crazy! It's like I discover a new washroom each semester or something... Yar. So I FINALLY went outside to find my mom (like half an hour after the exam was done... blegh), and she was parked beside a very familar car.
I went home and lounged around until sometime in the evening. That was when my parents were like, "Let's go rent a movie and a game!" and me and my sister were like, "Okee!" Yeah, but apparently we had to drop something off at Kyle's first. So we went, and their house is being seriously renovated--as in, large-sheets-covering-everything renovation! wall-smashing-goodness renovation! new-washroom-just-for-Kelly renovation! ^_^ Kyle and Kelly and their mom were at some swimming thing at the time, so only Kelvin and his dad were home. We watched some Simpsons... and the New Addams Family... and I went online for a time. We stayed until eleven, can you believe that? ELEVEN! When we were only supposed to "stop by and drop something off"! Pfft.
Yar, so obviously we didn't rent anything on Friday night... so we did on Saturday! Woo! Umm... Catch Me If You Can, and Sly Cooper. And I convinced my mom to buy me some Clodhoppers. Yar. And I can't remember anything more... oh yeah! In the morning, I watched my first full morning of Saturday morning cartoons in like.... since I started high school! Seriously, I hadn't watched Jackie Chan Adventures in like, a year! Some of the shows really weren't worth watching, though... like "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe"... yar. What a name, "He-Man", eh? Whatever happened to Bugs Bunny? He rocked so much--he could kick He-Man's overly muscular ass! Ahem. Yes.
Sunday was Sally's bday party! Korean BBQ... mmm... I ate more meat that night than the entire week before combined. I had a hell of a time finding the place, though... I wish for once, JUST ONCE, the god of directions would take pity on me... yar. So at our end of the table, there was me, Matt, JonA, Paula, Aky, Andrew, and KT. I could see JonY, Sally, and Tim, too, and Yell kept on coming over and offering us "bacon". When we were all sitting down, I couldn't really see much of the other people at the other end of the long, long table. Um... I spilled my water... JonA got his forearm burnt passing us meat over the grill... Matt kept on giving me food, until I pointed that out, then he apologized for some reason, and I said it was okee... I had a glimpse of Joan and Arthur's grill--there was a burning napkin!... I saw Sally get a large number of fob character dolls/plushies from various people, some Paul Frank inflatable stuff and clothes from Michelle and... Addie? (I wasn't really paying attention ^_^), and a Stitch-bubble-machine from KT. After dinner, went and got bubble tea with Aky, Kt, and Joan. Watermelon bubble tea is yummy. I paid for Aky's, and Joan took a picture of our bills. Um... yeah, then it was quarter to one, and me and Aky sat at the front of the restaurant to wait for our parents to come pick us up. Oh! And there were people with motorcycles and motorcycles are pretty ^_^.
Monday, my sister got to stay at home, because apparently, according to my mom, it was too hot to go to school. Pfft. I never got heat-days! No fair! So yeah, anywho, we played Sly Cooper until lunch (that raccoon was so cute! I want a plushie of him), after which, we were electronically deprived until Spongebob time. I found the old Connect4 game, and me and my sister played that, and ate Clodhoppers until six. I'm now officially addicted to Clodhoppers. They're yummy. Uh... so... watched Spongebob, and then we had to go out for dinner. We went to some Chinese place--under the daycare I used to go to!--and had curry and shat. There was some Chinese movie from the 80s on the TV there, with Alan Tam, and a young-looking Jackie Chan; I couldn't read the subtitles very well, because they were in white, and there was glare from the windows and the mirrors lining the walls of the restaurant. They had a cool car, though, and it was funny because the monks (or cultists or whatever they were) hired a bus-load of prostitutes and shat. Yar. I didn't understand the plot. So I went home, and went online, and guess what? Five minutes after turning on the computer, Rogers died on us, and I was signed out of everything. Me and my sister were outraged, and spent the rest of the night muttering darkly and playing Connect4 again.
Friday some people might come over to fix the pipes in our basement, so I'll have no access to the computers... again. Sigh. Stupid... everything.
