I'm Blonde!

Yesterday when I was at Heather's, I took off my Alice-made bracelet (the one I always wear - *pink + blue*) to put on some sunscreen. Not smart cuz I left it there when I left... when I got home I freaked out!! I thought I had lost it... I called Heather like a million times to see if she could find it... finally I got through and she brought it over to me... *thanx*. That's sadly not the first time i lost it. During the school year I left it in my common room. I had taken it off to do some dishes and then I left it on the shelf all night... I was shocked when I woke up the next morning and found it there... I can't believe nobody stole it. After these two instances I now consister it my lucky bracelet! I don't remember when or why Tacky made it for me, but thank you! lol. Only a true blonde could write a whole entry about a bracelet. te he.

Blondie For The Summer!

Woke up early, read some more of The Da Vinci Code, then Heather called at 8:00am and told me we had a hair appointment at nine. Jumped out of bed, had a 5 minute shower, drove my bro to school, picked up Heather, and made it down to the hair dresser... we were actually early! lol. We both went shorter and blonder. Our hairdresser was totally typical... talk talk talk... lol. Anyways, afterwards we went for lunch - cuz we spent over two hours there... after lunch war shopping... lots and lots of shopping... only bought two things. It was a good day though... even if it's still unbelievably hot!!

It's SOOOOOOOOOOO HOT!!!!!

ack! I'm not used to this weather... and this is exactly why I like it better when it's cold than when it's hot. It's hot, and I can't do anything about it. Since there is that major transportation strike in the city, my parents don't really want me to leave the house and especially not to go out of town b/c if I go south it's simply pure chaos. You wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at my town cuz it seems totally normal here. Damn rich people who never use the transportation. I doubt anyone here knows about the strike, and it certainly doesn't affect very many people, only those who work downtown.

Anyways, last night was cool. Heather called me from her work, told me she and Sammy were planning to go to second cup later... Turns out Sammy had text messaged me the day before inviting me out but I hadn't had my phone on cuz I was at home most of the time. Anyways, so I drove down to 2nd cup and met him, then Heather got there and the three of us road tripped down to Tacky's house. Picked her up, drove back to 2nd cup, had some drinks, went to the grocery store and the three of them bought Pringles (Alice and Sammy's were riddle ones for kids - lol - soooo cool! "What's bigger, the sun or the moon?!?!?!" lol.). Then we drove down to the park and walked around the bug infested circle thing... Later went to Michelle's house but she wasn't home. Then Robin found us and the five of us stood around the parking lot talking for like forever. Sadly I had to leave first and don't know how their evening ended.

In other news, I'm more than 1/2 of my way through the Da Vinci code. I didn't want to read it b/c I felt like I was doing it b/c everyone else was, but I'm now just reading b/c it was recommended by so many. And I'm still only three capters into Oliver Twist... lol, I do plan to finish it... honestly!

Guess I'm stuck here until the transportation is running again... if you're bored and want to head north i'll come... just not aloud to go south.... grrrrrr.....

Seeeee My Hair IS Long!! lol

Today was rainy so my bro woke me up and convinced me to drive him to school. That was pretty early in the morning... but I started baking once I got back home. First I made a yellow cake. It's pretty big (2 layers, the bottom layer is huge!)... then I made brownies! yummy!! Later iced the cake (bottom layer blue, top layers white and too runny - lol). Then met Tacky after her interview (congrats Alice!!) and did some speed shopping. Didn't buy anything... but hadn't seen her in soooooooo long, thus I had to go! The picked up my bro from school - cuz the deal was he would clean up all my baking mess if I did. When my mom got home she fixed Tacky's bag for her... - my mommy's so kind to me! But when my daddy got home, even though I'm grateful that he was doing something for me too, we somehow got into another huge argument + screaming... I guess we are too much alike to get along...

Whatever Randomly Comes To Mind:

Pjs are soooo comfortable... I never feel like getting dressed anymore. I obviously have to some days when I want to go shopping, but whenever I want to just stay home, I'd prefer to stay in my comfy pjs as long as possible. There really is no reason to get dressed as soon as I wake up anymore.

K, I think I need a summer haircut soon. My hair is kinda getting gross and longish. I don't mind the length but the color is soooooo evil! I have bits of blonde in some places but the rest is just this annoying dirty color which I hate! I want to be a summer blonde! I just don't want to pay for it...

In other news, I want to dub this summer, the summer of classic novels. Sadly I haven't started reading one yet, but my plan is to read at least three by the end of the summer... I know I could read way more than that, but for some reason, classic novels don't really interest me. I'm doing this more for punishment than for pleasure b/c I hated being the stupid kid in my english class last semester that hadn't read any "good" books other than ones for school. Often in class we were tested on our knowledge of authors (note for grades, just the pleasure of our teacher) and I never knew the answers. I don't want to go through that again... next school year I vow to be more prepared.

Victoria Day Weekend

Saturday and Sunday were all about shopping... and monday (due to many many hours of planning that seemed to all fall through...) I took my bro, Tacky and her sibs to a park just outside both of our towns to watch fireworks! She had been shopping earlier and got a bunch of sparklers.... so while we were at the park waiting for the fireworks to start, we played with some of them. Finally the fireworks started, but sadly they didn't last that long.. but some of them were really cool and big, and part of one landed a little to close for comfort to us in the grass. Afterwards we finished off the sparklers and Ry thought he could throw one up in the air, let it turl, and then catch it again, but when he tried, he got a bad burn.... lol! silly Ry! Anyways, then we drove to a dessert restaurant with tons of ice cream and the boys and I had sundays while Tacky and her sis shared a yummy waffle with equally yummy toppings. That was our night and as I drove Tacky + sibs home, the cutest thing was that they fell asleep (not tacky, just the sibs... lol!). Ry was kinda freaked out about getting in trouble cuz it was a school night... ha ha! it's great being able to go out whenever I feel like it! Yah!

Happy Vicky day! lol.

Why is it still raining?

This room looks pretty bright, but outside it is still raining... for like the millionth day!! grrrrr..... anyways, I have nothing new to report b/c the rain is bumming me out and consequently I'm bored... I really did want to go outside today but I was sure as soon as I did the rain would come poring down.

Still trying to find something awesome to do for may 2/4. Yah for dead queens! lol. ta ta for now!

The Creepiest Day,

Yesterday was sooo weird, I can't get over it, even now it's like everything was fate. So I went downtown to meet Sharon after her work. I'd never taken that bus before so I was a little freaked out, so I got to the station early and bought my ticket. Then the local high school let out as I was waiting for the bus and all these kids that I know from town start walking past me... saw tons of familiar faces. Then this girl I know from church but whom I never really talked to before comes over and happens to be taking the same bus as me so that she can get to her university. Turns out that we had a lot to talk about. It was really weird meeting her there though, apparently very few people take this bus, usually just yourself and one other person, so it's pretty creepy that the first time I take the bus I know somebody... even if it is a really small town. Anyways, so I finally make it to the stop where I was meeting Sharon (unions station) and as I call her to tell her I made it, the man starts walking towards me... it's my uncle (with his gf du jour)! This is a huge station with thousands of people in it..... how weird is it that I randomly ran into him in Toronto, where there are 2.5 million people. Had I been like two seconds later I would have missed him. Sooo creepy! So I talked to him until Sharon came and he met her, then recommended some restaurants cuz he knows the area. Anyways, Sharon and I did some shopping - I'm sooooo upset that Tiffany's closed before I got there... I was dying to go there. All the other good stores were closed too by the time we got there. grrrr... So for dinner we went to the same restaurant we went to for the second surprise bday for Tacky. lol. I really like that place, yummy sushi restaurants.... After dinner we went back to union to catch the bus back home... but guess who is on the bus.... Jenny C. WHAT?!? Yup yup... crazy huh? That's three people that I randomly ran into and shouldn't have if I had taken any other bus... sooooo weird. I was freaked out... mostly about seeing my uncle cuz I haven't seen him for over a year. insane! Oh well... I almost over it now... ta ta!

Sunshine Face

Rain rain go away, Come again another day. Little Johnny wants to play; Rain, rain, go to Spain, Never show your face again!

It's been raining soooo much lately... i've felt guilty that I get to drive around and not get wet so I've been driving my bro to school and back a lot. I'm too kind! lol!

Today I have awesome shopping plans with Sharon. woot! Dinner included. I have no idea where she is taking me, but that's half the fun for sure.

oops. I forgot to add I've gotten all my marks back now. My school ranks you out of ten. If you get an A+ you get a 10, A=9, A-=8... and so on. So first semester I had an 8.8 which I was pretty okay with. This semester, thanx to two embarrasing B+'s, I only got an 8.2. Damn Nation! I blaim hanging out with my friends more... or taking french classes... either one works. I guess this leaves me with an 8.5. Shameful.

I miss blogspot!

Wow, i really haven't updated in a while. Not much has really happened since then... except this weekend which wasn't as bad as I'm going to make it sound now. Anyways, Saturday was pure torture cuz my mom went to the spa and my bro had class so I was left alone with my dad. AAAWWWW!!! We got in a few really minor disagreements in the morning, and then we decided we had to go do some shopping together to prepare for mother's day. So we went out, and during the drive we had at least two major arguments (that I can remember) which resulted in him yelling at me for not good reason. arrg. There was a lot of small talk during that ride and even more silent periods that were much worse. We finally made it home and I stupidly enlisted in his help to bake a cake for mom. oops. I'm not really that bad of a baker, and i have made a few cakes by myself before, but I'm pretty slow and it and wanted to finish faster, so we started baking together. I guess I had forgotten what happens every time we try to do something together: he takes over the project and puts down any attempts that I make. arrg! Everything has to be done his way!! ggrrrrrrrr.....

Saturday night we went down to my grandmother's house (downtown! woot!!) for a chinese food dinner. That was pleasant... although Ry thought he was being super polite by, instead of saying that he was 'full' (as in he ate enough), he said:"I've had sufficient". He was proud that he had been proper and not sooo rude.... but nooooo.... My grandmother said that he could have been more polite by saying:"My sufficiency has been suffonsified and anything additional would be superfluous". Apparently that's the most polite thing you can say when you want to communicate that you couldn't eat anything more. Grandparents just have to be sooooooo proper....

So Sunday (today) was alright. My bro and I made dinner for our mom... and the cake was a big success! Dad iced it and I decorated it. Thus, since we had different assignments, it was pretty okay. Dinner was edible and my mom liked it. yah! Happy mother's day to everyone!

i look like i'm going to kill you in this pic...

Went shopping with Heidi today! Yah! I drove up to the mall closest to her house and we went shopping. Years ago we could have spent hours there... sadly now we did the whole mall in little over an hour - this includes lunch. She bought a new DVD (b/c she has an obsession with this guy i think it is totally ugly!), and a t-shirt, and i bought a tank top (purple) that I found which had finally gone down in price and a t-shirt (pink) for myself. Even though it's a small mall, the prices are pretty okay, cuz i rarely buy two articles of clothing for myself with my own money! lol. After shopping there we drove around the area (gotta love my car). I needed gas and I have to admit that I'm not a fan of new gas stations. So Heidi helped me get to one and fill my car up a bit. Thanks you! lol. I'm a sad little creature if I dislike being at unfamiliar gas stations by my self. lol. ttyl.

No more gilmore girls until the fall...

The season six finale of Gilmore Girls wasn't as good as I expected. I liked it and didn't really predict the end for one character, while the other main character had a somewhat predictable ending. But it wasn't as good as last season's finale...

Anyways, today went pretty well. I was kinda planning to go shopping with Heidi and maybe Heather, but that got pushed... then I wanted to go job hunting with Michelle and Sammy, but I gave up on that... thus, i called up miss celia and we went to the closest mall to hand out resumés... i'm pretty sure none of them will hire me, but at least i can say that i tried. meh. While there, we went to visit Tacky at her work and probably stayed there too long... since she was suppose to be working... but there was nobody in the store, so I don't think it was really a big problem. Why does the B.S. have to be so expensive?!? I did like that blue eyeshadow...

After that, celia decided to help me buy some rice for my mother (don't ask! lol). So we went to the chinese mall and stared at tons of different kinds of rice. I never knew about all those kinds! And they had such huge bags! I really wonder if it would take me a life time to eat just one bag. meh. So I got a little bit of rice just to try it. My mother was super thrilled! lol.

After rice shopping, Celia and I did regular shopping in the mall section... she helped me try the actually spicy fish balls - i actually coughed cuz it was just too spicy... (i have a very low tolerance). But I have to admit that they were really good. Sadly, last time I went there (with my bro) I wanted them but was afraid to order anything... cuz of the language barriers. Yah for Celia being there so I could try them again!! (Had them once with Alice before and she was sooo good to me b/c she made sure they were not too spicy! luv ya tacky!). Celia also got me a strawberry bubble tea.... yummy! Thankfully I have found other places where I can buy those... cuz they really are good. Ironically, while I was culturalizing myself, I saw chinese girls doing the same thing, only they were eating mcdonalds... a slightly more american food... (only slightly these days...). It seemed funny to be that she would be in a chinese mall and be wanting to eat american food while I really wanted to eat chinese food. oh well... maybe i should just stick to my american food and be cultured for a chinese person. lol.

A good day that didn't involve shopping...

Alice called me yesterday morning as promised. We didn't really make any solid plans, just talked about what we could do. After lunch I called up Heidi whom I hadn't spoken to in far too long. We talked for over 2 hours - mostly me updating her on all the lives of the people we both once knew. (My parents aren't going to be happy when they see that bill - lol!) However, during that super long conversation, alice tried to contact me at least 5 times in two different ways. Very little success... cuz i only noticed one of them. oops. Anyways, so after my conversation, I called up Alice who said that she was currently free to hang out and play games like we had originally planned. So I went down, picked her up and drove her back here. Ironcally, she choose to play "Life" the bored game - I said nothing, but it happens to be one of my fav. games and the one game I think I may have played every single time I went to Heidi's house. We played Life FOUR times... and seeing as how we played by the rules of naming all the guys we have to be married to, we found out some interesting things about who would make us the most rich in the end. (Sammy, Alice said you were pretty lucky!) lol. jokes. (Robin, I'll have you know Alice picked you first! and I think you did better then Alvin). But of course RP will always be my main man!!

Good morning! As you can tell by this pic, my hair is two-toned. The top is my natural color - creepy dirty blonde... The bottom is how I like my hair... blonder. While the top probably does match my features best, it's really boring. Something needs to be done about it. eeewwwwww.... my hair is repulsive!

Apart from needing a color job, i'm debating cutting it too... mmmm.... Thinking about my hair is random... although I do it a lot.
*hair hair hair.... *

Ice Cream and Gossip

Last night Heather calls me up and wants to do something... i'm like "it's a frigin' Sunday! NOTHING will be open!!" lol. All the malls were closed and even by the time we made it to Baskin Robbins it was closed... we eventually went to Dairy Queen and reminisced about old times... we have seriously known each other for too long!! lol, so much gossip shared over ice cream...

What got me the most was that my parents wouldn't let me stay out that late b/c they didn't want to be up too late worrying, since they have work 2mora. Not Fair! I'm gone for 8 months at school, out sometimes much later (yummy trips to Zak's), and they don't say anything... but when i'm home i'm freedom-less. Not cool!

Maybe it's b/c I'm driving around in a car... car accidents do make parents worry too much. Point being, i'm not THAT bad of a driver, and I don't normally do stupid things - especially while driving. lol. It's just not fair that I have to compromise my freedom just so that they can go to bed worrying less. Don't they trust me?!? Can't I stay out at least till midnight??!?

I loved hanging out with Heather last night, but we could have had an even awesomer evening if my parents had just let me live like I do in Ottawa. ggrrrrrr....

Hamster Day

So I finally have something cool to blog about. Yesterday I called up Jenny W. cuz we all know she always has good ides for what to do... (she always seems to know where to go). And she told me that she really wanted a pet, so we went out to that huge pet store near the movie theater in search of either a bird or a hamster. Since she once owned a bird already, i convinced her it was time to get a hamster. So we found some baby ones and she couldn't decide which one to get. We only decided right before we were about to leave which one she should choose. It also took us a long time to pick which habitat thing she should get (she got this colorfully cute one) and then we were in search for food, those wood chippings at the bottom of cages, and some cleaning products.

So back to which hamster to choose. There were four females- a black one, a grey one (kind of boring color except cool markings around her eyes), and two brown ones (one big and one smaller). The black one was overly active and a little creepy, the grey one was boring to look at, and thus it was down to the two brown ones... The first one ate a lot and was pretty active, and the second was more calm and pooed on Jenny when she held it... My gut said go with the first one cuz she seemed more healthy, but jenn chose the pooing one probably b/c it was so calm. I dunno exaclty why... but it was a good choice anyways.

I'm totally jealous of Jenny cuz I really want a hamster too, but she has a sister who can take care of it when she goes back to school, I on the other hand asked my bro, and he said "no way!" ggrrrrrr.....

Still don't have a job but I have applied at a bunch of places.

Rejuvenated by Shopping

Went to the closest mall this morning with Tacky and handed out some resumés. Ran into Souki... that was tense... anyways, the three of us did some shopping and the girls bought some stuff. (Guess I broke her no shopping with boys rule... the things I do for Tacky.... lol!) Then we ditched him for a better mall. I spent tons of money there... bough shoes, skirt, bubble tea... good stuff!! I love that mall with all my heart..

I need something to do... better go shopping

Yesterday I was sooo bored. I actually was on msn a lot! and talking to people too!! Oh My!! The highlight of the day was all the junk food I ate: Donut, girl guide cookie, ice cream bar, slices of cheese bread, then home made chocolate chip cookies - which I made last night (don't worry, all this crap was spread out during the day, I couldn't eat it all the once). Yummy!! I love making cookies, especially with my bro's help. But he only helped me because I went to pick him up from his high school that's just oh so far away! Right before his school got out I msned Heather S. and we decided to go for a beautiful summer ride to the school and ended up picking up both our bros. We are such great sisters.

Home For A While

I don't really feel like updating. There is nothing to say anyways... plus I'm just doing it b/c now is the time to do it if I ever was. I miss the freedom of the capital. Chores suck! That's enough for now. bye bye.
