End of The Week Stuff

Ok, so I know I update WAAAAYYY to much, but I couldn't resist. So today is Friday (thank God!). I had my science quiz today which I may or may not have done well on (we'll see). I also read this article today on MTV's website about the main character of the House of Night series, Zoey Redbird, being the most relatable vampire (actually shes a fledling but whose counting?) in all of literature. If you want to read it go here:
http://hollywoodcrush.mtv.com/2009/12/04/meet-the-worlds-most-relatable-vampire-in-the-house-of-night-the-book-report/
Anyways, tomorrow my brother has 2 hockey games, so I won't be home to update. And on Sunday I'm going skiing and then to my brothers 3rd hockey game of the week (too much hockey!). All next week is winter carnaval at school so I might blog a bit extra so you can know what we did on the winter carnaval days. So yeah... that's about it. Oh and Tuesday is going to be the best day of my life! Nick Jonas' CD comes out!
Does anyone want the iPad? I really do, I this close to convincing my Dad that I need it, it will make my life, quote "so much easier". Talk about consumerism (lol, history class).
Well, gotta go, only got like 20 pages left of Hunted, then I'm onto Tempted!

Busy but not so busy day

So last night I had the lovely opporunity to not sleep (thank you stomach and leg pains, for voluntelling me to stay awake!). So therefore I was kind of out of it today. Luckily, our group got through MacBeth smoothly :). So our day started out with science lab (woo hoo *kidding). It was really boring and took a really long time so even though it was busy it felt really slow and you know... not so busy. Then we had English where my group (thankfully) finished acting our half of MacBeth, so the first half of the period was long, but the second half was nice and short cause we just had to watch the other group perform :). Then we had lunch which was kind of rushed because we had a 12:30pm class. Or we thought we had a 12:30 class. Apparently it was cancelled, but we didnt get the memo so naturally we were stuck in the classroom waiting for the teacher. Then we had History, where we watched a movie. It was super boring, who needs to know about R.B. Bennett? Then we had math which we had a quiz. Which I bombed. Oops. I had a major mind blank because of my insomnia!!!
Finally we had art. Visual, friggin, art. I hate art. I mean there is nothing wrong with free expression and peoples art. But art class, you are told what to do, how to draw it, what colours to use, etc. That is not art! That is a project, or an assignment, not free expression! I hope my art teacher reads this and she gets the point!
So yeah, that was my lovely (but not so lovely) day. But last night I made a character list of people I pictured playing characters from House of Night and I found the perfect Darius and Aphrodite! I picture Julie Marie Berman to play Aphrodite and Dominic Zamprogna to play Darius! How great are they? I know I'm a genius (Im so modest lol).
Anyways, gotta go, science quiz to study for (yay).

Back to School

Back to School for another week. Let me fill you in on what has happened to me in the past, what two days is it?
Ok so, Saturday night I went to my aunts house and she told me she was having baby! How exciting is that? And, to me it's like I'm going to be an aunt not a cousin cuz my aunt is more like my sister. I'm super excited!
Next, I saw the toothfairy yesterday. Yes, the toothfairy. I know what you're thinking, I'm crazy right? Well, I'm not. I saw the Toothfairy at the movie theatre (so no, not the "real" toothfairy). It was a cute movie, can't say it was one of my favourite movies ever but it was cute.
Today, I had a math test, and it was fairly easy. It was short, let me tell you that. Then I had a spanish quiz, talk about easy. I didn't even study! Then I got a science assignment that I actually could finish on my own! And I got my second round of HPV prevention shots. Stupid school makes us get the friggin shots! Normally, I don't have reactions but after this one I felt drowsy, and had a headache and the chills. But eventually it passed. Now I just have a bunch of achy muscles.
I just figured out that everytime I bring my camera to school and film my friends they always say "are you filming?" so I'm going to make a whole video of them saying that... should be interesting.
Yes, I wrote more of my story. No, I'm not posting it. You're lucky I posted the first chapter (lol). I like to keep my work private until I feel confident about it (just incase I have to change some of the plot).
So I have a new favourite song. It's called Check Yes Juliet by We the Kings. I love it :). Everyone should listen to it.
Well I have to go, so I'll post later (probably Friday, maybe sooner).
Bye!

Vampire Diaries

So I missed this in the last blog, so lets touch on a point that I love very much. Vampire Diaries. Did anyone watch it on Thursday? Omg. I didn't see it coming. Elena's adopted? holy cow! Yes, ofcourse I read the first two books but they didn't mention that in The Struggle or The Awakening! And Stefan is amazingly beautiful! And I just watched the trailer for this weeks new episode and it looks sooooo good :). I can't wait at all. 5 days seems so far away!
Anyways, I gotta go get ready for my brothers hockey. Hope he wins!

Having A Nice Day Off!

Yes, the day has been kind of slow, but still it's been interesting. I woke up bright and early (thank you nick!), and made sure nick was ready for school (so glad i dont go to his school or i wouldnt be off!). When Nick left I decided to do a few morning push ups (lol it sounds really weird but i was kind of hyper and needed to wear off some energy). Then I walked my dog for about a half an hour, then i bathed my dog (he definitly didnt like me for that!). Then I made lunch (hotdogs :P). After that I've been pretty bored. So, I decided to write here to kill some time, plus I just wanted to tell you that I'm writing more of my story :). Oh, and everybody should go watch the Waldemart videos on youtube (especially part 3!). Me and my friends all love them!
So yeah, I'm gonna go write my story. Have a nice day.

House Of Beautiful Night

Ok, the title is a little deceiving. I was talking about the House of Night series. And to show you a little bit about it I'm posting a trailer for it that is from youtube, the clips are from the original official trailer, but this is fan made, but i love it!
Hope you like it! Maybe this will get you to consider reading the series? The books are so good and I seriously recommend them to anyone! No, they are nothing like Twilight (so they're not annoying). No, there are no Taylor Lautners (such a shame), but there are plenty of hot guys in it, and you can see all of their pictures on the website. The website is www.houseofnightseries.com
Other than that nothing new. Other than the fact that theres like a major snowstorm outside and Im seriously hoping for a snow day :)Cross your fingers!

New Week

So welcome to a new week. I'm sure not all of you are as privledged as me because I have a day off of school on Friday (story writing day maybe?). Hope you liked the first chapter. Right now I'm reading Untamed in the House of Night series, it is awesome! Seriously, you should ALLLLLL read it!

Heard of Chase Ryan? Well he sounds like a girl, but he is hot. And he's Debby Ryans brother, who knew? Oh wait, who knows about Chase Ryan anyways, lol.

Wanna know something funny? My friends are really frustrated with me because I made them do this survey thing and take a picture and I won't tell them what for! And I'm not going to for a while. I'm working on it as we speak, just waiting for the replies of my friends on their questions. And Gigi, if you're reading this answer my e-mail, it is important!

Soooo, anyone listen to radio disney on iTunes cuz they live in Canada and can't get it anywhere else? Yeah, well it's really screwed up. It keeps on skipping and rebuffering, and it's annoying! So I've decided to boycot Radio Disney on iTunes for a while.

I've decided to start this thing I like to call a joke session. So I'm going to tell a joke (and I can't promise it will be funny), and I suggest you read them aloud because you may not get it if you don't. Then if you have a good joke you can post it in the comments section. I'll randomly do this, so keep coming back when you have a joke and post it when the next joke session comes up.
Here it goes:

Question: How do you wake Lady Gaga up?

Answer: Poker face!

Haha, that sucked... well. I'll talk to you later, I gotta go. 2 words. Math Project.

First Chapter

So this is the last time I am blogging this week. Maybe. We'll see. So I know I've led you on for a while so here's the first chapter of my story, sorry if some things are spelt wrong, and yes I am posting right here (it leaves out the whole pdf problem on some computers). Sorry, It's kinda lengthy and puncuation isn't so good (but don't worry it's bloggers fault, not mine).

Liam
August 23rd

“What do you mean I'm fired?” Liam asked.
“I'm sorry Mr. Mayrick. You never show up to work on time and you slack off when you're here,” Mr. Huntley said.
Liam removed his hat and pin and handed it to his ex-boss.
“Here you go then, I'll return my uniform when it's washed.”
Graham Huntley nodded and grabbed the hat out of Liam's hands. Liam took a final look around the ice cream parlour and inhaled the fresh scent of waffle cones. He sighed and walked out the door without taking a second glance. The walk to the bus stop was long, it felt even longer given the fact that it was raining. Liam wanted to speed up but his legs didn't catch up with his body, his feet crossed and he stumbled as he went to take a step. Regaining his balance, he stood and wiped the mud off of his knees.
“That stains not going to come out. So much for returning my uniform.”
Many cars drove by as Liam walked along the sidewalk. Some avoided the larger puddles; others didn't care and drove through them splashing Liam as he walked. Finally he approached his destination, he sat on a near by bench unsure of when the next bus was arriving. Liam picked up his backpack of the ground where he had put it. The bottom was wet and the red die of the bag ran down into the white stripes on the side. Liam unzipped the bag and reached in, his hand searching for extra change. He found just enough for bus fare plus a few extra pennies, he left his wallet untouched. The bus pulled up in front of the bus stop and Liam couldn't get off the bench fast enough.
“Rotten weather for sitting on that bench,” the bus driver said.
Liam nodded, not making direct eye contact with the driver.
“That'll be a dollar twenty-five.”
Liam dropped the bus fare into the slot and carried on past the bus driver. The bus was empty, Liam headed to the back corner seat. He went to reach for his bag to grab his sweater but as he reached towards the floor, the only thing his hand grasped was air. A strike of heat flashed across Liam's face, he panicked, the bus started to drive away. Liam pressed his face against the window and watched as the bus drove away from his back pack. He kicked the seat in front of him. The world felt as if it had just started spinning rapidly. Liam stared out of the window watching all the familiar surroundings speed by. He reached for the string at the top of the bus and pulled it with all his might. The bell buzzed warning the driver to halt at the next stop. The bus slowed down to a gradual stop, Liam stood up and the bus jolted when it came to a final stop. He jerked and walked to the front.
“Thanks for the ride,” he said leaving the bus.
The driver nodded and closed the door. Liam walked down the street and approached a brick apartment building. The front doors were glass and the lights inside had a bright glow. Liam yanked on the doors and faced the intercom. He pressed the numbers 4-1-5. The ringing filled the small room leading into the lobby.
“Hello?”
“Hi, Aiden, are you up for some company?”
“Always have time for my little bro,” he said.
A loud buzz rang in Liam’s ears and the door clicked open. Liam walked through the spacious lobby; the green paint reflected against his skin. He walked up the stairs and through the dark hall. Every few meters a small lonely lamp lit the space around it. Liam approached a wooden door with the number 415 painted across the top. He knocked loudly and turned the door knob. He kicked his shoes off and through them to wall.
“Why are you so wet? And the mud? And the-”
“Save it. I got fired, walked to the bus, fell in the mud, sat on the bench in the pouring rain, and lost my backpack.”
“There's a bus shelter at the stop.”
“I figured things couldn't get any worse, so I sat in the rain. Guess I was wrong.”
Liam flopped over on the couch across from Aiden's blue chair. He could feel the moisture from his clothes seep into the material of the couch. He ran his fingers through his hair.
“And how did you get fired from a job as simple as the ice cream parlour?”
“I don't know. I don't need any of your I'm the big brother lectures either. I know Mom and Dad are dead, but so what? I'm eighteen and just moved into my own apartment, you don't need to lecture me anymore.”
“I wasn't going to.”
“Oh.”
The two became silent as they watched television. The channels all seemed to blur together. Liam felt his eye lids become really heavy and his body stiffen. The noise of the television became really loud as he drifted off. His head fell and he jolted into an upward position. “I'd better go home. I'm falling asleep here.”
“Ok bro, see ya later.”
Liam walked down the quiet halls of the building and out the lobby doors. The rain had slowed down to a quiet drizzle. A few blocks down from Aidan's apartment stood Liam's apartment. It was a lot older than Aidan's and didn't have any physical appeal but a home was a home. Liam jiggled the key in the door knob the lock clicked open. He fought with the key until it finally let go of its hold in the door. He trudged into his small apartment leaving his sneakers in the front closet. He pealed his shirt off and through it the hamper which looked like a rather large waste basket. He hopped in the shower and washed off the mud and rain water. He slid into a pair of pyjama pants that were too big around the waist, and pulled a white shirt over his head; it was tight and outlined his muscles. He flopped onto his bed and flicked on the television. Nothing was on at 1 am; well there was stuff on, but nothing worth watching. Finally, Liam settled for watching the news.
“A man was shot and killed on the outside of town today. The name was not relea-”
Liam clicked the T.V. off. Anything was better than watching news about shootings and car accidents and all the other bad things about the world. Liam closed his eyes and drifted into a light sleep. The next morning he awoke to the sun shining in his eyes. Liam buried his face in his pillow, determined to fall back asleep and block out the reality of the day. The phone rang loudly and Liam hesitated to answer it. Finally, he flung his feet over the side of the bed and walked over to the phone. The lifted the phone of its base and pressed the talk button. “Hello?”
“Hey little bro! Wanna go for a coffee? Maybe they'll be hiring,” he laughed.
“Sure, I'll go for a coffee, but not for a job. That's not even funny, Aidan.”
“Sure it is! You're just lucky Mom and Dad left you loads of money in their will or you wouldn't even be living in your apartment.”
“I'm not lucky, Aidan! If I was lucky Mom and Dad wouldn't be dead!”
“Sorry, I shouldn't have said that. I know how touchy you are about the topic.” “Whatever. Where are we going for coffee?”
“Tim Horton’s?” Aidan suggested.
“Sure, I'll be there in like 15 minutes.”
“15?”
“5 to change, 10 to walk. I don't have a car you know!”
“Fine, 15 minutes.”
Liam hung up and opened his closet. He replaced his current top with a plain black t-shirt and his pants with a pair of jeans. He quickly ran a comb through his hair and slid into a comfortable pair of sneakers. The halls in the almost vacant building were quiet, except for the slim buzzing of the ceiling lights. Liam pushed on the glass door that led outside the building. Liam inhaled the fresh air and sighed. The morning traffic sped by and birds sat on the electrical wires above. Liam started walking, his head was down. He tried to avoid as much eye contact with pedestrians as possible. Liam soon found himself staring at a pair of shoes that were not his. He raised his head and came face to face with a man. He was wearing an apron filled with newspapers and was holding one of the papers out to Liam.
“Would you be interested in purchasing today’s paper?”
“No thanks,” and with that Liam picked up the pace of his steps. He didn’t look back at the man with the newspaper in his hand.
He found interest in kicking a small rock along the sidewalk as he continued to walk. A car slowed down and pulled over to the sidewalk next to Liam.
“Need a ride?”
Liam looked up and saw a tiny silver Porsche and the face of his eager brother in the driver’s seat.
“Tim Horton’s is just up the road,” he said.
“So? Save yourself some time.”
Liam shook his head and jumped into the passenger’s seat. He rolled the window up and flicked through the radio stations.
“So what’s new?”
“Nothing,” he said without emotion.
“You watched the news last night, didn’t you?” Aidan said with a disapproving voice.
Liam stayed silent. He was glad when the car pulled into the parking lot. He exited the car and walked into the building. He sucked in the sweet smell of coffee and donuts. Aiden stood in line next to Liam.
“What are you getting?” Liam asked.
“Just a coffee, you?”
“Hot chocolate.”
“Wow, something must really be bothering you if you’re having hot chocolate.”
Liam never had hot chocolate unless he felt upset, or something was bothering him that he couldn’t figure out. At last, the two arrived at the counter and placed their orders. The lady at the cash was quick about making their drinks. She smiled at Aidan as they walked to the only vacant table.
“So what’s bothering you?”
“Nothing.”
“You lie!” Aidan said.
Liam took a sip of his hot chocolate.
“It’s Mom and Dad isn’t it?”
Liam stayed silent.
“Liam, Mom and Dad are gone. Sure, it was because they were at the wrong place at the wrong time. You can’t live your life scared of the real world, or depressed. Mom and Dad wouldn’t want that.”
“I know!” He yelled, slamming his hands on the table.
A few people around them turned their heads; others were frightened by the loud bang. Liam turned to see a few leave the building, not knowing if that was his fault or not.
“Maybe we should go,” Aidan suggested.
Liam pushed his chair in and darted out the door. He opened the passenger’s side of the car and got in, slamming the door behind him.
“What is wrong with you, Liam?” Aidan asked, worry painted across his face.
“I’ll tell you what’s wrong! I don’t have a job, the backpack I lost yesterday? Yeah, it had ALL my money in it, and Mom and Dad were killed!”
“You can’t change that Mom and Dad are dead, Liam! They were shot and killed, but you weren’t the one that did it. Stop blaming yourself!”
Liam buckled his seat belt and fell silent. His anger was bubbling inside of him. Aidan put the key into the ignition. The car started up, hardly making a sound. Liam stayed silent for the duration of the ride home.
“I’ll see you later,” Liam said getting out of the car.
“Wait! How about we go play some football later? Throw the ball around, blow some steam?”
“Sure, why not? But don’t expect me to talk about feelings or anything girlie.”
Aidan smiled. Liam slammed the car door and looked at his brother through the window. He turned his head and made his way to his apartment. The normally empty halls were crowded with movers. Liam reached his apartment just to see that he will be having a new neighbour.
“Hi, I’m Luken, You must be my neighbour.”
“Yeah, I’m Liam,” he said looking at the man in front of him.
He looked as if he was in his mid-thirties and was well built. His hair was shaggy and he wore a green shirt and jeans.
“Hey, aren’t you that guy that tried to sell me the newspaper this morning?”
“Since that’s my job, I’m going to have to say yes. Can I ask you why you didn’t buy one?”
“It’s complicated.”
Liam turned and was about to walk into his apartment when Luken spoke again, “It was nice meeting you!”
“You to,” Liam said, giving him a small smile that lingered in the shadows.
The air was cold when he entered his small apartment. Liam immediately went to the thermostat and turned up the heat. A shiver went down his spine, he trailed into the room and picked up a grey hoodie. He flopped on his bed and closed his eyes.

Notes from A Blogger Addict

Sooo I'm back. Again. I may like blogging a bit to much. An addict? I don't think I'd go that far but still. I had a specific request to blog today from someone (you know who you are....). Yes that means that this blog actually has a purpose (kinda, not really).

So I'm sure you've all heard of Notre Dame of Paris (better known as the Hunchback of Notre Dame). Well, our French class this year is a little obsessed with it. So in order to honor it we made well how do I put it, a parody of a parody which we performed for our teacher. Ever heard of potter puppet pals? I bet you have. So we sang the mysterious ticking noise but with the characters of Notre Dame (yes, including Paquette and Gringoire) lol we definitly read the book, because the movie is missing like a trillion characters!

Other than that I believe that is it. Oh wait! I might as well tell you about the rest of my day. So this morning the hallway smelt like the guy (long story) i USED to like (another long story). Then we had english in which we had to practice MacBeth and of course we were at the murder of Duncan which Gigi couldn't do! It was funny. Then we had math. Ms. Hughes made me go to extra help I was there all of five minutes before she realised I didnt need to be there! God teachers are annoying, lol. Other than that nothing really happened. Gym was boring, you already know about French, so yeah.

Talk to you, uh, Tomorrow? Saturday? Next week? Just whenever I happen to blog next.

Longest Week Ever !?!

Ok, so I know it's not Friday yet but I couldn't wait. It already feels like Friday anyways! This week is so flipping long, I think I'm going to die. Monday felt like Friday. Not to mention all the lovely projects, assignment (three science assignments? wtf?), and homework. And you thought horror movies were scary. Silly you.

Ever heard of the band Capra? Just stating my opinion here, so don't get offended, but they suck. I hate their song, it sucks. It's annoying, and I could seriously murder Kelly for singing it (yes I think Kelly is a weird name for a boy). And whats up with Sterling Knight singing? God, does every Disney star need to sing? It's annoying.

So, General Hospital finally played again on Monday and (SPOILER) its my pleasure to say no one dies :) However they find Claudia's body in the fire (the one thats been dead for months! ewwww).

Anyone got the new issue of People Magazine? The one with Kevin Jonas' wedding. I have two copies. It's the best magazine i own, other than the Jonas Brothers Rolling Stone issue.

Wanna know something? I hate Justin Bieber. He's a friggin girl. Puberty really needs to kick in. And he is pug ugly! Why does anyone like him? Sorry if you like him, I'm really strongly opinionated about him. I have to admit though One Less Lonely Girl is an ok song considering how much I hate him, thats saying a lot. If you want to hear good music, go buy Selena Gomez's CD or Ke$ha's CD. They are really good CD's! And Nick Jonas' CD comes out on Feb 2! So excited and I'm counting the minutes.

If you all want to know, which I'm sure you don't. My story is coming along great. A few more touches and the first chapter should be all nice and ready to be posted right here on the blog.

I really should have called my blog The Blog of Rants because that's all I'm doing. However, as my friend so kindly pointed out Just Boundless is more poetic and leaves the blog open to anything. I do like to rant but you probably have no interest in it so if you have suggestions as to what I can talk about, or if you would like to suggest a topic to rant about go ahead! Other than that, thats all I have to say, so Im gonna go now so I can finish reading The House of Night Series! Have a good night and rest of the week (omg why is this week so long?)

Week In A Nutshell

So finally the week is over! School was boring (like thats unusual, lol), all we did was start new units (trig is sooo easy!). This week hasn't been too eventful. I have decided one thing though, I am going to try and update this blog once a week, to note the weeks activities. I apologize in advance if I miss a week.

Any of you watch General Hospital? If not let me fill you in. So it's a soap opera (I know, it sounds dumb), but right now James Franco (the Oscar Winning Actor) is on it and he is a crazy lunatic who just kidnapped Lulu and Sam! There's 17 seconds left on each bomb and Dantes about to save Lulu, and Jasons about to save Sam but the problem is the whole 17 second thing. Then it just ends! How could they do that to me!? Rants over.

Today on Regis and Kelly, Regis wasn't there and Nick Jonas filled in as cohost! They were asking questions about him and I got them all right! But I obviously wasnt there to get a prize or for him to acknowledge that I even exist! Wow, today was really stressing lol.

My brother lost his hockey game by one point, all because they have a really sucky goalie and a bunch of lazy players. They gave up thinking they would tie, so the other team got ahead of the game and scored! Geesh, this is why I don't like to pay attention.

And what was up with the World Juniors game? How could Canada lose? I mean Taylor Hall and Jason Eberle did everything! I think the other players should have picked up the pace! Holy crap! Hockey makes me so mad sometimes.

Oh and by the way, I'm writing this story right now (which will hopefully turn into a novel), and it is turning out great! Everythings really coming together and not even my friends know this yet but, theres going to be a huge plot twist! Once I start typing up a good copy I might post the first chapter to see what you think!

Ok, so I gotta go, but, I'm always open to reading your comments, and yes people without Blogger accounts can post comments too (I left that setting open for you). So I'll talk to you later!

Bring in the new year!

To bring in the new year I decided to start a blog. School starts on Monday, which really sucks. But if this snow keeps up like it is, we may not have school. Or we may, schools never cancelled.

Todays a really boring, stay in your pyjamas kind of day. The snows making the roads too hazardous, therefore my brother's hockey was cancelled. So basically I've spent the day on facebook, how the hell you spend a whole day on facebook? I have no idea, it's really boring. The rest of my day I spent reading this book called Kiss Me Kill Me. It's a really good book about this girl who kisses a boy and he dies that very instant. So in order to clear her name from murder she uses clues to track down the real murderer. Other than the whole kiss and then die thing, the main character sounds a lot like me. She's a girl who is sixteen (I'm only a few months away) who goes to an all girls school and gets little chance to socialize with boys. That's the story of my life. Everytime I meet a boy outside school hes at one of my brothers sports things, which have seasons so once that season is over theres a very strong chance I'll never see that guy again.

I really miss this one guy who i met this summer, at my brothers baseball. I have him on facebook but talking to him there is nothing compared to seeing him in person. I haven't seen him since august so it would be weird to ask him out now. Anyways, I gotta go, my suppers ready.
