Fairy Tales and Castles

I'm beat....

2007-01-19T14:14:00.000-08:00

I have never felt so beat up and tired in my entire life.

Haha, I went to the Billy Talent concert last night and I had the most fun I have had in the longest time!

I believe I screamed out a lung, my throat burns and I can barely say a word. My head kills and everything is sore. And while I was standing on both my chair the the back of the chair in front of me, I fell over like...8 times, haha. That hurt.
But it was sooooo WORTH IT!

Ahh, that was too fun. Opening bands were pretty awesome, too. Moneen and Rise Against rocked my socks off. I didn't see much of Anti-Flag, though. I left during their set to go get T-Shirts and Emo Buttons, haha! Because politi-punk? Naaah, no thanks.

But the best part? There were these two kids sitting behind us, that looked about 7 or 8 (don't ask me what kind of parent would let their 7 year old kid go to a concert like that, it's beyond me.) and I have never met any kids cooler than them, ahha. By the end they were up on their chairs rocking out. I took pictures of them at the end, they were too awesome!

I'd post them but....that's just kinda creepy.

Oh yeah. Sorry I haven't posted anything. I wasn't exactly having what you'd call a "Merry" Christmas.
But blah, whatever. I'm back. Glad to waste more space! Hope people are having an awesome New Years!

I'm off to sleep again. Argh, my head hurts.

Ta-ta!

Yaaawnfest!

I'm in my C Block spare now, and I'm bored beyond belief.
No homework, and half of the sites I usually go onto, the silly school has blocked. I can't even check my email (that'll really help when I need to send homework home. Good job.)
So yeah, yawn.

Hmm, so December. I have no idea what I should get people for Christmas. I'll probably go shopping on Saturday before I go to work.

Oh! Speaking of work, starting January 1st, I'm looking for another job. Hopefully a place that doesn't keep cutting my shifts. I was just called yesterday and, while I was thinking that they were going to ask me to come in another day this week (which I would have said yes to. I could use the extra cash, haha.)they told me that I won't be working today. Which means I only work Saturday and Sunday now. Splah.

So anyways, C block is almost over. I'm off to get my Digital Media stuff all together.

Oh, and I'll actually attempt to have one or two more posts within' this month, haha. Lazy me.

Ta-ta!

Something a little more Positive

2006-11-05T15:19:00.000-08:00

Wow, my last post sure was negative, huh?
Sorry about that. I was just really angry about all that.

Hmm...something I can say that isn't so bitter....

Oh yeah! I got a raise!
Wow, 50 cents extra. I'm a rich girl now :P
Oh well, every little bit counts, right?

Splah, I probably have to close tonight. I really wish I didn't have to. I'm tiiiired. I've worked all weekend and haven't had the time to work on my Biology Project(s). And report card marks go in next week. Crap. I'm done for.

And I was doing so well before. What the heck happened?

I also wasted a whole paycheque on a broken iPod. Awesome! >_<;; Oh well, that's what a warranty is for! Let's just hope I still have the reciept.

Ahh, darn. I'm going negative again, aren't I? Crap.

Well, I'm off to get ready for work. Haha, 3:20 and I'm still in my PJ's :P

Silly.
Ta-ta!

ARGH!

2006-11-05T00:16:00.000-08:00

Wow, two months. Sorry about that.
I had alot going on at the time, what with moving and all. Plus some other...err...unexpected happenings.

One, I found out my Grandmother has terminal lung cancer. They gave her about 6 months tops. I wish I could say that I was close to her, but I can't. My dad's side of the family never really has been. Probably because they aren't exactly 100% happy about the fact that 1) We're not Catholic. and 2) We're not 100% Portuguese.
Silly I know, but they actually snub people for that. Unless they've been drinking.....or I'll actually eat their food. Depends.

Two, my dad has been gone alot. Navy stuff and all. He just left last week and won't be back until the end of November. Lame. (Meaning my bathroom won't be finished until Mid-December. Sigh).

Three, splah. My eldest brother has been in...err...some legal troubles? He's got a court date next week, and it's not lookin' too good. I can't really talk about it much other than inside the family, but I'd like to go further into it because I'm super peeved at him.

Why? Well, it's silly, but Final Fantasy XII finally came out this week, and my mother, being awesome, but it for the BOTH OF US to share. But Mark, thinking he's the most important person in the world (not kidding, he really does) decides he's going to hide it, and keep it for himself.
So I get peeved, he gets peeved, my mom gets super-peeved and says that if I want to play it so badly, I have to buy it myself.

.....huh? Does that make any sense to you? My brother doesn't work, doesn't go to school, heck! He doesn't do anything! And just not too long ago, my mom had to take his car keys away because he keeps taking it out into wee hours of the night (with an extra 100 km on the car almost ever day I might add...don't know how someone does that. That's like going Downtown and back two times and then some.) and he gets an $80.00 + game (plus a Strategy Giude!) While I work, go to school, heck! I even clean the house while my mother is at work! And I get screwed over.

Sigh, I just don't get it.

Well, it's not really the game I'm freaking out about. I can afford it, whatever. It's the fact that I'm trying to change, and be a decent person all around, while Mark is doing Jack Squat and he's getting all the rewards. My mom complains about him all the time, says she's proud of me and Andrew (the youngest of my eldest brothers), or whatever, and then she goes and gives him everything, and tells the rest to screw off.
And she wonders why Mark continues to do what he does?

I'd freak out at him, but in all honesty, he scares the crap out of me. Hell, we're all scared of him.

I probably shouldn't be saying all this in a blog, even if he'll probably never see it. Not that that'll affect him. Cops and the Crisis Helpline does Jack Squat. Jail probably wouldn't do anything, either. I doubt a little blog entry will do anything in the slightest.

Sigh, I give up. Let the jerk walk over everybody.
Laters.

Syao-chan = Love

2006-09-01T01:10:00.000-07:00

So, I was browsing through eBay out of complete boredom when I came across this one item that I realised I just HAD to have.
And after about.... an hour of begging, my mother-dearest finally caved in and let me use her credit card to get it (I have to pay her back, of course!)

Well, that was on August 8th. And FINALLY, on the 31st, I finally recieved two of these from Hong Kong:

ISN'T HE JUST FREAKING ADORABLE!?!?
Hehe, Syaoran from Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles. My absolute favourite fictional character in the history of all fictional characters :P

And yes, I am admitting I'm a complete nerd. And I don't give a crap, because LOOK HOW FREAKING ADORABLE HE IS!!!

And why two of them? Well, the second is a belated birthday present for a friend in the Sates. She loves Syao-chan as much as I do ^_^

Anyways, I'm done nerding it up :P I just had to express my joy!

I'm off to be giddy!

Ta-ta!

And it's coming to a close...

2006-08-26T00:30:00.000-07:00

I promise, and I deliver. Another post. Yay!
Wow, summer went as quick as it came, didn't it? I felt I did nothing, but a lot all at once, if that made any sense whatsoever >_< Part of me wants nothing more than to have another month of summer, while the rest of me just wants to go back to school to get it over with. :P

Hmm, so what has happened since the last post? Uhh, my brother Andrew turned 19 on the 7th. Happy belated to you, big bro. My grandmother on my father's side also had her birthday on the 7th. Crazy, eh?

Funny, Andrew did exactly what I assumed he would do the second he turned 19: Bought a lot of beer. My other brother, Mark, did the same thing as well last year when he turned 19. Well, as long as they're not idiots about it, I'm fine with it.

Hmm . . . What else has happened? I know there was something....
Oh Geez! Silly me! After like, 4 months we finally sold our house and I shall be moving October 2nd! Finally! Haha, I haven't even lived in this house for a full year and I'm glad to be rid of it. It's not that there's nothing wrong with the house itself. It's cute! But it's way too small for 5 people (and six animals!). Mark is sleeping in the garage for heaven's sake! And we don't have a backyard so my poor dogs are cramped in the house all day! I personally don't mind the size. I could live with it fine.

You want to know the real reason why I'm excited about moving? I get my own bathroom! :P Well, actually, I don't think I can call it a bathroom entirely....it's got the toilet, it's got a shower, but it doesn't have a sink!!!
What were these people on when they built that bathroom?! Now, I'm not a professional, but if there weren’t enough room for all three, I'd settle without the shower and put a sink in instead. That's just.... weird. What are you supposed to do? Wash your hands and brush your teeth in the shower? That's just . . . silly. Oh well, my grandpa is going to be doing a lot of renovations with that house, and adding a sink is going to be one of those things on the list. Probably last, though. Which doesn't really bother me since my grandpa is retired. Which means he'll have everything done instantly since he's so bored. :P

Hehe, I just love to ramble about that bathroom. It's just SO.... silly!

This whole moving thing did sort of come at a bad time, since my father is done with his training in the Navy and is going to be on ship for weeks at a time. Which is why we decided we're going to be lazy when we move and hire movers to do it for us. :P We've done this so many times (this should be my 10th house I've moved to) we usually move everything ourselves. But with my father gone, and everyone working, the herd is thinned out just a tad and we need to get everything done as soon as possible. Mostly because if we don't, it will never get done!

Proof: I had a room without proper floors for 4 years. My dad ripped up the carpet, but never finished putting the hardwood in. Why? Because he started renovating it, but something else came up (can't quite remember) and never finished it. I lived with plywood with nails sticking out. :P They're great for tripping on and ripping up your feet!
I remember every month asking:
"Daddy? When are you going to finish my room?"
"Uhh, soon, Moo-Moo. It'll get done." Ha. He turned the living room into a house of lies! He promised me bookshelves at this house and I never got them, either. My old laundry basket has been just fine for my books! Err...not.

Aww, well. Forgive and forget. I love my father, so I can't stay mad.

And yes. My father does call me Moo-Moo. Don't bother asking why. I've given up trying to figure it out years ago. And it still embarrasses the crap out of me.

But in all seriousness, the new house will be great. It has the space everyone needs, and we finally have a backyard! The only thing my mother seems to worry about though:

"We don't have a mantle . . . Or a fireplace! What the heck are we going to do with your Christmas stockings?!"
She's obsessed with Christmas. At least decorating, anyways.
I'm glad anyways. The thought of a fat old guy obsessed with children climbing down my chimney scares the heck out of me. Why not just break in through the door like a normal criminal?

Whoa, this sure is a long one. I best be off and do that sleep thing I've been told so much about. I have work in less than 12 hours >_<;;

Ta-ta for now!

Okay, I'm on it!

2006-07-28T22:58:00.000-07:00

Aha! It's updated. Let's all jump for joy!

Interesting random moment between my oldest brother Mark and myself. He comes in my room asking for my Chrono Cross strategy guide (since I stole it from his room cause technically it is mine. I bought it and the game off of him for 20 bucks a few years ago, but he never remembers it.). So of course, it's at the very bottom of my huge crate full of strategy guides, art books, and manga I have under my bed. As I'm sorting through everything Mark takes one look around my room and simply states, "Damn it .... I really need a hobby."
Let's just hope it's not as expensive as mine, haha.

Ahh my silly cat (who just turned 10 about thirteen days ago, for your useless information of the day) keeps trying to snuggle with me, which is rather difficult with a keyboard on my lap. So I've had to retype some of this a few times since she keeps pawing at the keys, haha.
And now she, of course, has to get her claws stuck in the quilt on my bed.
She's been acting alot more friendly now, though. Probably trying to get more attention because of our new cat, Cheemo (who wil be 1 next month).

There's my Luna, Looney-Toonie, Lunar-Orbit or Tubbs. All my animals have more than one name, haha.

Geez, I love my animals too much. They certainly are part of the family, not just the family pets. If it were up to me, I'd have one or two of everything, hehe. But right now I'm gonna have to stick to the two cats, two dogs and two degus . I swear, you look through my mother's digital camera, there's no pictures of her kids, just the animals, haha.
They're loved more because they don't talk back. Simple!

Well, I'm headin' to bed. Or at least I should be. I have to be up at 7 to clean the house since we'll be having strangers wandering through it later that day. I hate the moving process. I also have my Grandmother's Birthday "Party" to go to. I love my Grandmother and all, but as a 16-year-old, a 80-something's birthday bash at my Uncles' isn't exactly my idea of a Saturday night out, ya know? But my little cousin Carter will be there, I believe. And he's too adorable to ignore. Plus, my aunt and uncle have a swimming pool. ^_^;;
This teenager shall be entertained.
Yes, feel free to scold me.

Well, good-night all!
Ta-ta!

Long Time, No...errr...Type.

2006-07-03T21:14:00.000-07:00

See? See?!! I did it, yet again!
I swear, I need to get a timer sewn into my arm or something that goes off everytime I need to update this little blog of mine.

Phew. Well, let's see... school's over. I didn't fail anything.
All is well!

Ahh, got a job. An actual job. You know, the one's with a uniform, a pay cheque and everything! Not just 20 bucks for painting some old ladies' fence.
But, that job is at Dairy Queen. One of the places I swore I would never work at. Haha, just goes to show I'm not one to be trusted.

Sigh, And yes, working is all I'm doing over the summer. I'm in dire need of some cash. Mooching off of the parents is a big no-no, now.

Cursed responsibility!

Oh well, nothing really exciting going on. If I save a burning city in Japan, I'll let you know.

Ta-ta!

Silly, silly, silly.

2006-05-30T21:55:00.000-07:00

I find I'm saying "Silly" more than swearing these days.
And no, that's not silly. I feel so uncomfortable now whenever I, or anyone else for that matter, swears. I get that voice in my head going, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, Jennifer."

Sure has been a while since I posted something. Sorry about that. If I said it was because I was busy, I would be only be half-lying. I'm also freaking lazy. Something I should probably work on.

Okay, I'm sorry, but I need to rant about my P.E. class. It seems no matter how many doctor/chiropractor/physio/parent notes I give to my teacher, I still get zeros in my classes even when I'm "trying my best" (as she tells me to do.).
So now I have an Incomplete. And I'm apparently supposed to go in at almost every lunch break now and make up those marks in the Mez on the bikes or whatever. Freaking lame. My theory is she's just making my life miserable for this semester since she knows this is my last year of mandatory P.E. That evil-doer. I should throw my shoes at her.
Oh well, I just have to get through the rest of this semester with her evil-doings and I should be A-okay. Now all that there is is getting that Science Lab done...grrr..

Owww. I just lost half of my baby-toenail. Not a pretty site. Let's just say that my obession with having even rounded toenails got out of hand.

Sigh. I'm tired. But I can't bring myself to go to bed. Lord knows why.
Ahh, I guess I shall go try.
Ta-ta!

Yawnfest

2006-05-12T13:12:00.000-07:00

Whew, I've never been so bored.
I'm in my Planning 10 class right now (which so happens to be the most useless class in history), and I'm about two weeks ahead. So, as it is, I'm stuck doing absolutely nothing.
And yet, I'm still getting in trouble for being on the computer doing something that isn't homework. Pssh, sorry for being a productive student and getting everything done on time.

Oh well. They'll never learn.

I'm being kicked out of my house today.
Err...for about an hour while strangers raid it and decide whether it's worthy or not to live in.
Phew. Only 15 minutes left of this crazy class.

Hmm....I'm so bored my mind is empty of anything remotely interesting to say. So I'm off for now.

I might think of something once Shannon is around to put random ideas in my tiny little head.

Ta-ta!

Oops!

2006-05-04T15:26:00.000-07:00

I keep on doing that! Silly me and my inability to remember to write! Well, in this blog, anyways. I've been writing random stories and such. I find I start to write, and then I just never finish it. I can only count two stories I've managed to finish that were done out of my free will (not a cruddy English assignment). Oh well, that's just me being lazy. I'll try to work on that.

Hmm, well, I'm moving yet again. Where? Well, now I'm not so sure. We had an offer on one house, but apparently that's going down the crapper. There just aren't many places here that are worth it. Not even decent ones for that matter. Or at least ones that are decent, but are at ridiculously high prices.
But this one place we have an offer on is just . . .perfect. Or at least close enough.

Sigh, I must change the subject.

I'm suprised I was actually being demanded by several different people to post again. Crazy.

Well, I have places to go, people to see, and TV to watch.
Okay, you caught me. It's just the TV. I have no life, har har.
Off I go.
Ta-ta!

Slurpies are my Hero

2006-04-25T16:09:00.000-07:00

On a hot day like this, and the day before, Slurpies are all you need to survive.
Too bad I have to stay cooped up inside to work on a silly Planning assignment. I'd swear and freak out about it, but that's all it is: Silly.

So my first real post . .. hmm . . . what to say, what to say.

So I'm going to see Our Lady Peace tomorrow downtown. Super excited about that. I would prefer to hear their "older" stuff. Their new songs are just too . . . trendy, as my brother Andrew would say. I also have to go to the concert with my dear old brother, not that I'm complaining, I just don't think he wants to go with his little sister, haha. Means he can't go smoke pot in the mosh pits, har har. Just kidding. He'd do it even if I was there.

My dog Rusty is freaking me out right now. Big brown eyes staring up at me as if to say, "Go ahead. Give me that mushroom."
But instead I just gave him a smack on the head. Not hard! Just enough to get the message, "Get lost" through his tiny, adorable head.
Haha, yes. I'm eating mushrooms. Plain. I have weird snack tastes. Oh well!

Well, I'm off to do that silly poster project. Ahh, I can't get over how silly it is.

Oh yeah! I wanted to thank dear old Peter for this lovely layout I now have! My HTML knowledge is just like my French: I know some, but I just can't bother to learn something so silly. Ain't it purdy? I'd like to fiddle around with the banner on the top, though. I certainly know how to do that.
Oh, and the lame Fairy Tales and Castles title . . . uhh . . . I'm a Lifehouse fan. Fair enough?

Ta-ta

Welcome to the Pointlessness.

2006-04-23T18:09:00.000-07:00

Since I'm too lazy to write anything at the moment I'll just take the time to say, "Hello!"
Let's see if I end up using this. I usually end up making these accounts at random and then never use them. Silly me.
Expect lots of ranting and pointlessness like about 99.9% of all the blogs out there!
Haha, enjoy!
Ta-ta!
