Moscow______
I'm such a lazy girl. Words don't come to me like usual when I try to write about my trip to Moscow. Sigh, maybe because it's 7 a.m.? Anyhow, I'll try again tonight - instead of it i'll talk a little about the city itself:

In two years, Moscow has, at the same time, changed like crazy and not at all. Same incredible traffic, pollution and this little-something that other cities don't have [though of course I can't really tell you what it is :P]. And it's wierd that during all this time, my grandmother's apartment or chalet stayed >exactly< the same as how I left them. I mean - my house changes about every week - we repair something, change the furniture, make a terrible mess or clean the house until everything shines! And theirs - nada. I don't want to grow old :( Same thing about russian TV - 40% of movies and shows, 60% of annoying publicity.

But one thing that has drastically changed is, beleive it or not, the number of rich people. Multiplied by a hundred! BMWs and Mercedeses at every street corner. And it's not the type of people that help the poorest. They are snob and they piss me off. Nothing to add.

Other people I will NEVER forgive are [don't laugh] the casiers! They suck in Russia! For example if an old lady enters a shoe store in Montreal, the vendor helps her, right? In Moscow, he will sit down and insultingly fix her. Ok, maybe this doesn't apply to everyone, but at least the greatest part.

Can't take it anymore ; I absolutely got to eat something!

American civilisation !!______
Hurray! According to the latest news, I am not dead! Finally back from my passionate (almost no sarcasm!) trip to Russia ; happy but... tired. If you're quick in maths and good in geography (in other words if you're at leat in 4th grade ^^), you may have already noticed that it's 2 a.m. there T.T

Oh gosh, my room is beginnning to dangerously spin around my head (don't ask), so I guess that there will be no super-detailed power entry today - but hopefully one tomorrow with a brand new layout! This time the pictures will work on a Mac (um...) as my dad bought the real version of Photoshop in Moscow (3$... life is hard). But for now, I only need a hot bubble bath, "The Amber Spyglass" by Philip Pullman and a sweet bed in an air-conditioned room. *Only* that!

240 e-mails, 95% of crap. Do I have the courage to check every little box to delete all of it? Don't even think about it.

Wah, wierdly my imood hasn't changed in three weeks...

Joy! Joy! Joy!______
Back to Monty again! And back alive! Cammac was the best this year but I really have no time to write anything about it, and as Nat already did it - hell - so well, it's not very important... About Cammac, you write a million pages or nothing, so I don't have much choice.

Still I have time to write a little about my [boring] life and especially about my [not-boring-at-all] summer! Ugh, won't be able to post any entry nor change my layout before the 30th of July @.@ Because... guess what? I have to leave to the airport in exactly 3 hours to a looooong trip to my natal Russia!

Very scary the fact I'm not excited at all... Probably because today will be a million hours long and I simply hate to travel by plane! "Nice" schedule:
15 minutes - go to Dorval's airport by car
3 hours - wait in Dorval's airport
7 hours - travel by plane to Zurick (Switzerland)
3 hours - wait in Zurick
3 hours and a half - travel to Moscow by plane
2 hours and a half - go to my grandmas' house by car

Oooh, why did I have to write that? Now I'm depressed! Nineteen hours and fifteen minutes of reading, writing, drawing, listening music, doing crosswords and wordsearches, watching crappy movies, eating airplane food. And my plane's taking off at 5 PM today! Aaaah!

Have a nice life.

She's back in black______
Back from my lovely cottage trip with the funniest and scariest incindent that techincally happened to my lil' bro but my mom sufferred more than he did.

[Svet is reading "Les royaumes du nord" (ok Lu, I admit it's beginning to get intresting and I start to understand Lyra) outside]
Alex: Mama! Gros mouche!
Mom: Mmmh? Where?
Alex: In my shoe!
Mom: ... ... !! AAAH!

Now guess what was in that shoe. A spider. But not an ordinary Canadian sucky long-legged one. It was a huge, 8 cm long tarentula. Ok, ok - it wasn't really a tarentula but looked exactly like one! Poor bro. Poor mom. She's definitely arachnophobian [?] now. The most hilarious thing is that my broter was wearing his shoe with the spidey inside. Spider-Man become he will. Begun, the clone war has [ok I'm in a really wierd before-cammac-mood and I may begin typing strange things... oops I already did]

Yo Nutta, I'm really sorry that your parents divorced, that your mom is acting strangely and all. And when everything about your family is terrible, think about mine! It's a pure fiasco. My parents yell at each other and at my big brother, I yell at my big brother, my big brother yells at everyone including the cat, my lil' brother yells at himself... 24/7 yelling, ya know? We simply hate each other! But it's kind of funny and I don't care really much as it was always like that [my brother always was a décrocheur and the only life he knows is in connection with the computer]. Oh well, let's forget about all that tomorrow and spend a lovely time in CAMMAC ^^

[Ok my speech is over, I needed to express all my feeling somewhere]



Friday, June 28, 2002 // 12:11 p.m.

Leaving to my cottage in two hours >.<______
Sigh, I only had time to read two chapters of "Les Royaumes du Nord" and I already deeply hate Lyra! For now, I don't find anything very intresting in Pullman's style, but I guess it'll come...

My last violin lesson was yesterday and my teacher finds that it's the best time to give me new material T_T 'Hope I'll be able to still keep up w/my 'good' work during two months without a single class...

And Natazoïd - did you receive the code for the new moirae layout?



Thursday, June 27, 2002 // 05:28 p.m.

Blooblah...______
Nat, 9:30 is perfectly perfect ^^ Darn what's the numberof your house again? :P lol...

Ugh, I'm leaving for my cottage tomorrow again! But this time only until Saturday night... snif, snif...

And tell me how I'm supposed to get ready for the cottage, CAMMAC and Russia at the same time if I need part of the sruff for each trip!? [Wow, won 80$ today and yesterday by babysitting! ^^]



Wednesday, June 26, 2002 // 09:02 p.m.

T.T______
Geeeesh...! My parents are suicidal! They're mad at me for no reason these past days >.< When I ask them why, they tell me "*Sigh*, we are >not< acting wierdly!"

Nat, my mom is really getting on my nerves ; would you mind just telling me at what time we meet at your house (we still meet?) on Sunday?

Yay, Sean lent me the full first season of Buffy on DVD! And he has the second one O.o



Monday, June 24, 2002 // 08:15 p.m.

x...x______
Finally came back from my boring and not wrothy to blog about trip to my cottage where I cought myself playing Dark Cloud. Whoa, what a storm we had yesterday @.@

We went with my mom to Renaud-Bray and bought 3 books (she was in her generous mood) "Le Pianiste" by Wladislaw Szpilman [almost finished that one], the first book of Philip Pullman's triology "Les royaumes du nord" and "La porte de pierre" by Diana Gabaldon.

Never, ever, ever, ever [...] watch "The Musketeer". Pathetic isn't a big enough insult to describe that bleep. And if you like Dumas' work, every time you see The Musketeer's DVD - please shoot it with a bazooka.



Saturday, June 22, 2002 // 09:50 a.m.

30 secs...______
I have thirty seconds before leaving to my cottage for... 3 days!! So I won't come back before Monday night *sob* [I won't let anyone think that I was kidnapped by EP ^^;;]



Thursday, June 20, 2002 // 04:30 p.m.

Bio-dégradable?______
Recently learned that Nat, Luci and Lari went to the Biodome today... Even though I already visited the place twenty thousand times [and three months earlier the last time] I kind of regret not having checked my mail because I could go anywhere with them - it's always fun! And especially because they went to Lari's house after... *envy*, *envy* I so want to see it!

Urgh, Sean's coming at my house tomorrow. It may sound funny, but it's the first time he will actually come in my place... certainly because I'm not really proud of my house ; compared to his, mine is a dump!

I'll bring my laptop to CAMMAC, finally. We'll use it to read mangas and I want to keep my blog alive [even though I won't be able to post my entries until I come back to Monty]... You always have more things to say at the moment. When you come back, no words come out... O.o



Tuesday, June 18, 2002 // 12:33 p.m.

Geisha______
Prepare! Now I'll be obsessed with geishas for weeks! The book is so good [Luci if you don't read it soon...] and for once it has a satisfying ending!



Monday, June 17, 2002 // 10:00 a.m.

Math exam in 3 hours______
Aw, pain... suffering... how will I survive a "sommatif"? I'm so pathetic in them, so what about the most important exam of the year? And I completely forgot some notions like what's the little formula for the "arcs de cercle"? Aye.

That can seem really wierd, but I predict the time! For example this morning, I woke up, my eyes still closed and I said to myself "mmmmm? I bet it's exactly 8:00 AM". Guess what time [with the seconds] it was when I looked at the clock? Also happens really often that I look at my watch and it's exactly noon. Oh well, that was my minute of nonsense ^^

Oh, and I see that Lu chose Okcounter too :P I think it gives lots of good graphic counters so I really suggest it [though Nedstat is still the best for the detials] ^.^



Sunday, June 16, 2002 // 10:23 a.m.

Goooood morin' !!______
Ouch, my first night in months that I don't sleep well... maybe because I was reading Geisha from eight p.m. until midnight and only read 200 pages! Can you read slower than me?? Oh, and Lachesis has a new layout! I'm in love with your background color! And it's been a while since Atropos got hers...

Oh god, this book is so depressing! The only part of the book up to now where the girl was happy were the first 3 pages of the book or so >.< Life is hard.

Grmbl mmbl, no friend of mine play CC so I can't share that I desperately fell in love with a secondary, personalityless, ugly-named, not so good in battle but soooo cool character Norris... © © ©

Another Saturday of my life______
Oh, gawd. The second day of my summer vacations and I'm already BoReD! ¿Moo? Well I changed a bit my CSS hover codes and arranged some other things so it looks better x.x Hey girls, do you want me to try to do the next moiraesque layout? [and I insist on the try] It'll probably take me like 3 days because I want it to be nice and cute (the previous one being cool...) well if you have any suggestions on what you want it to feature, please tell me @_@

Ya know, Chrono Cross is really a great game! The story is intersting, the battle system is lovely and the ideas are great. In my opinion, figuring out what to do next is really harder than in Final Fantasy but the battles are kinda easier... Anyways, say what you want, I wuv it!

Notre-Dame de Paris is really bugging me >.< I'll probably read "Geisha" by Arthur Golden instead of it as everyone tells me it's the best... oh well, Chrono Cross, here I come !!



Thursday, June 13, 2002 // 07:08 p.m.

T_T______
I have no words to express my pain but... I can't find my Final Fantasy X game! Let's start from the beginning. I lent my PS2 and games to my brother's friend [who btw hypnotized me before I agreed to do such an unimaginably terrifying thing] and he gave it back after a week. Without the game. According to the friend, he gave it to my brother. According to my brother, he gave it to me. Happy family.

Our dearest Mrs. P. [we won't have her next year! Woohoo!] is becomming more and more unpredictable. Today we had our physics exam and I couldn't understand a question so I asked her to explain. Of course she wasn't able to so the only thing she could reply was that we revised that yesterday. As there were still question marks instead of my eyes (?_?), she told me the part of the answer. *slaps forehead*

Hey, I feel like playing Harvest Moon!

The very last day of school of sec. II!______
*Shrug* Last day of school and I don't feel like it at all... seriously I feel as if we were in September >.< Usually, I would have a billion things to blog on this special day, but now I can only say that P. shouldn't bother correcting my exam tomorrow because I will fail anyway :P

Something was definitely wrong today... nobody was happy! They were saying it, but not exactly showing it [in my opinion]. I mean not counting the moment when the bell rang and everybody started making mutiladed parrot noises.

Sigh, if any of you know a site with a good program to make your own tests, please inform me of that, because I need a hobby ='x'=



Tuesday, June 11, 2002 // 10:31 p.m.

Hydra Marshes...______
Oh my gawd!!!. I can't believe it! I beat the Hydra Marches boss in Chrono Cross in a single extremely easy attempt in my new game! Sometimes I wonder what's wrong with me...



Monday, June 10, 2002 // 11:27 p.m.

Return to civilization______
Before starting my [I hope] pretty big entry on how we suffered during our camping trip and my opinions, I think you noticed that I changed my layout! I know my previous one didn't last long [about two weeks with a small amount of entries] but there was definitely something that was bugging me in my last picture... was it the colour that reminded me of EP? Anyways, I hope you like my new design, because I think I do [of course that will not last long as we have computer class tomorrow and I will probably find out that x things don't work on a Mac].

Well for the camping thingy... I could elaborate for pages, but I prefer to avoid the details as it's kinda late now. In a few words : mosquitos, boredom, rain, unexistant hygiene. Basically so negative that at some point of the night/morning, I was thinking that it was the worst weekend of my life, and if it wasn't for the cards that our dear Liam brought, suicide could be an option >.< I tell you ; the teacher made such a nice and precise sheet with all the schedule and cute activities we were to do that I didn't even bring a single book with me. Result: the activites were amazing disasters, lasted ten minutes and we had to improvise things to do to occupy ourselves. We were 95. We were bored. Probably more details in Lazuli's and Nutta's blogs because if I type one more letter, I think I would simply fall asleep on my laptop.

Good night ; sleep tight.
