I miss this old thing.
It's a brand new year! I remember in grade 7 health class when Miss Wilson was teaching me about alcohol and drug abuse. She said that every year she would quit drinking for a month to make sure she wasn't addicted. Well, I'm quitting TV this month because I know I'm addicted. Here goes nothing. I'm trying to distract myself with learning piano and homework, but let's face it-- piano is not the equivalent of a good friends episode.
Today I ate lunch with Clara at John's, and this guy Timmon bought our lunch for us. It was really weird. He just sort of did it... Clara walked up to pay and the man said "oh yeah that young man already bought it for you." I guess we're not emotionally ready for it because we just got all giggly and red in the face.
It's kind of nice to have an full tummy and an extra five bucks in the pocket!

Jacki just drove away in a snazzy automobile with a big hunk. I was watching her with a green-eyed glare through the window and of course they saw me. I bet I looked coooool.
Packing is a huge to-do these days. I keep needing more and more crap, and I feel like the list won't stop growing any time soon. I really want my nickname to be juicebox at camp, therefor it's only natural that I should want to buy 5 gallons of pre-packaged sugar juice.
I've been counting down the days until Seb comes home for some time now, and now that he's here-- I've seen him once! What happened there? Saying hello to someone you haven't seen in a long time cannot be planned out I've discovered. I had the thought running through my head all the time of how excited I'd be and what I would say, then the moment came and we were hugging over movie theatre chairs trying to be as silent as possible for the audience's sake. Not exactly picture perfect. The fact of the matter is, I don't even know him anymore and that scares the living daylights out of me. He loves his new life and I know it's selfish of me to wish he was here in Ottawa, but I do!
Wishing is such a waste of time but holly flip is it ever addicting. It's worse then smoking, drinking and drugs combined.

I have my report card, and out comes the biggest sigh of relief possible. I'm so happy! Jacki's prom yesterday!-- WOW, what a beauty! Her dress looked stunning, she was definatly the bell of the ball. I hope she had fun. I'm not looking forward to getting ready for my prom. All the rush and the drama, I've learned that it's important to steer clear of anyone in a rush to get ready. I simply sat outside and only came in for pee breaks. Guitar's a go-go! I can officially finish playing "you won't see me" by the beatles, without checking my cheat sheet! OH YES PEOPLE! Progress is being made.
I'm extremely ready for my cottage, I just can't take any more town life! It's a little dull sometimes, I just need a cruise in my pink lady boat, a jump off rickity rope, a picnic on love island, and a dive in lake bernard and I'll be back on track. I can't believe I'm doing the drama camp next week, I'm so nervous!!! I have to teach the kids how to juggle now too apparently. I can see it now
Alannah- "NOOOOOOOOO! THROW THEN CATCH, NOT CATCH THEN THROW!!! BAAAAAAAAH!"
The kids will wish i was far away in the sea.
I was watching jerry springer on the telly, and it was so sad! These people were so horrible, they were actually part of the kkk, and this is how the show went down;
Jerry- "So you even hate Oprah"
Man in kkk ensemble-" I {sensored} hate Oprah, but not you jerry we love you!"
Jerry-"Did you know I'm jewish?"
Man-"we don't love you anymore then, and our kids are going to grow up and I'll have my own klan."
I just don't understand how someone could actually think that way. One guy even said he wouldn't mind if his wife got raped by a white man as long as he's not black. Explain to me how that makes sense?

Highschool brings such weird feelings with it, it's like a package deal. I can be so happy, but still be nervous for a test coming up or exams. Now there's summer, and I'll tell you right now; I haven't felt this airy since I was about 9. I have no care in the world, I feel like I'm floating. I can finally think about the mindless crap that highschool doesn't give you the time to ponder over.
FORMER OTTAWA TEACHER ESCAPES SERIOUS INJURY IN HIMALAYAN PLUNGE.
Holly crap. I can't believe it. Mrs. Norfolk actually fell 260 feet during a storm and THANK THE LORD is not seriously injured. I'm so thankful, but at the same time scared out of my wits! Poor Seb!! Can you imagine watching your mom fall down a mountain!! and not be able to do anything about it, then wait to be rescued for seven hours. Mon dieu. I just wish he was home, safe in ottawa where the tallest mountain is 260 feet. I can't wait to see him, and that whole happy family!

I've never been so happy. Everything is going well, Jacki made it into her top school! Which is close and I can visit any time I want which I most definatly intend on doing, School's going fine it's not amazing but I think I'll be happy with it, Seb will be home in 25 days (25!!!), the weather is perfect and best of all I have a crush!! What more could I ask for? This is what I've been wishing for since September and it's here! It's lovelyly and beautifully here! Everyone around me is smiling, and slowly I think it's becoming contagious. I'm so giddy that it's frightning. Cooties was absolutely amazing, (I love you Clara Michela and Lena!!and i suppose Hannah too but I don't think she reads this!). Oh gosh I just want to find someone and hug them alot.
All my wishing on dandy lions and satelites instead of shooting stars has paid off. What a beautiful world.

It's june. It's actually June. The last month of the whole year, the 10/10, the exam month, the month where as kids we'd do nothing but clean out our desks and go to hampton park to slide of the banana slide. Gr.9 is over, and all I can think about is how excited I am for all the work to be over, but I'm not sure if I really believe myself. I mean, in junior high gr.10 seemed like ages away and now it's here! When did I get so old? People always said highschool flies by, but this is just ridiculous! I haven't even done half the things I wanted to in gr.9. And soon Jacki's room will be something really depressing like another guest room, or a gym, or even worse it will stay exactly like it is now. I don't know what to do without a sister around, my brain doesn't function that way. She chose Mcgill over Dal, Thank the greek gods! So at least she's only a train ride away as opposed to two train rides, a plane, and a taxi cab away. But I still only see her 2 months out of the entire year; plus some weekends and holidays. I feel like we're getting divorced.
I'm going to miss her so much.

Shawn Desman this weekend! OH WOW, can the boy dance. There was a moment in that night between him letting some stranger rub his crotch and when Lena and I were getting ready to lie infront of his car when I realized I'm really glad I'm not famous; But I love him!
I want to learn how to play the piano, really well. I want to be the next bethoven. All I have to do is become deaf and go through a musical eurika moment. Good idea Alannah!
I love how allergy season is over, the leaves are almost full and it's so fun to walk under. The rain comes and you can't even notice because they're litterally a massive green umbrella.
I've stolen the idea from the book "le don" and I've made myself an "operation save the whale" Instead of going outside and working out I spent an obsene amount of time making a weekly chart for my new plan. Good start, but it'll be worth it when I look at the pictures of whales and try to avoid morbing into one.

I've never had that much fun in all my life. Holly god I can't contain my happiness it's so HUGGEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I love everyone and everything and every little water gun. Mon dieu, that is my home, that is where I belong. Everyone was happy, everyone was hugging and jumping and pretending to be assasinates. I miss being best friends with people that I can't even remember their names, I miss the juice and being extremely fat and dirty the entire time. I especially miss my rainsuit and all the types of hugs.
I'm moving to osgood. If it's the last thing I do. Or maybe I'll just take a roadtrip there but either way these people are the coolest people ever born!

Highschool's a funny thing isn't it? You love it, you hate it, you want it to burn down, you can't wait to get back. It's weird how much I think I've changed since way back when in September. I actually have opinions, and personal experience (weird huh?) that I can pass down to the not-so-smart youngens. If I've changed in highschool does that mean that everyone has to? I really hope that's not true. I think there's something wrong with me, I think I might be going through extremely early menopause. You know the line "I love you like a fat kid loves kid" (clara obviously knows her fifty) Ya well I'm the flipping fat kid. All I want is cake, is that too much to ask!
I should pack! I'll be at Otterdale, my second favorite place in the world, in 24 hours in counting. Oh wow what a beautiful life.

Tomorrow's the end of the world. Nastradomus predicted the world would just light on fire. Sure it sucks if I die without doing SQUAT! but it would be kind of neat to see the end of the world. Maybe tomorrow I'll do some heroic thing like save a baby from a burning sidewalk covered with satan and demons. That would be cool
My friend brought up a neato theory. What if:
All living creatures die, and the world is invaded by aliens. Green aliens. Later on in their lives, they start to discover that there used to be human life on the planet. BOOM! we're the next dinosaurs.
I'm going to burry a box with my journal so that I can be the new bible. Or i'll burry the real bible, I haven't decided.
I have a lot of hatred towards the month of May. It makes me a grouch who has to work more then she wants to. I'm sorry Clara I make your life a living hell in May.
I'm so happy the rugby seasons started. Wouldn't it be lovely to go to ofsaa.
I want to work on my work habbits.

I'm one of those people who can get really excited about anything, but only for short periods of time. I go through fases with things. Like my hippy fase, that lasted maybe a month. Then I forgot about it and my candles/insence and records have been gathering dust. Then there was my religious fase, I went to church on Sundays and did plenty of good deeds. I'd read the bible everynight and say my prayers. That lasted 2 weeks TOPS! Which makes me feel like a horrible human being, and that I'm going straight to hell.
My favorite fase was my hermit fase. That actually lasted a while! Because I felt so guilty about my newyears drama, that I just couldn't face any sort of social gathering.
So I was just thinking, maybe I'm going through all these fases because I'm not destined to be a nun, hippy, guitarist, bicyclist, runner, writer or a politician either. What the mofo am I supposed to be?
This sucks.

RECITE YOUR LESSON:
How doth the little crocodile,
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the nile,
On every golden scale,
How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes all the little fishies in,
With a gently smiling grin.
(said while full of multicoloured smoke)
It's low key days like this that make me imagine the un-imaginable. When I arrived home last night from yet another intense chase against the popo(this time they had sirens and a megaphone! youpeee) I watched a bit of Alice in wonderland with my big sissy. When I was a kid all I thought about when I watched it was how big of a hole do I have to dig to end up in wonderland! Now it's like all I can think of is what kind of drugs were these guys on when they wrote it. It makes me kind of sad that instead of having dreams to grow up and find a powder to make people fly, I now have dreams of MAYBE landing a hubbie and becoming a politician. On that note, my political hero John Baird is running to become a federal member of parliament! He'll represent all of west-ottawa, I'm euber excited because I get to help him run his campaign. So if anyone lives past nepean in that area and is over 14 that might randomnly read this journal do vote for him the mans a mastermind!
Do you have a spot where you can go and all of a sudden it's like your head goes into to turbo-speed and you start thinking about absolutely everything? When I go to my spot I feel this weird relaxed happiness and I hate getting rid of it. It's like dry-heaving shots of happy! I can't keep it in I just sit there alone throwing rocks and smiling like a mindless idiot.
I wish I was 6 again.

Hello.
Today was like eating a big bowl of grapes. You eat one after another without noticing and then before you know it they're all gone! You're completely bummed out you want more and then here's the best part. You flip it over and there's a WHOLE new side for your hardy appetite to enjoy. Today was the first time this week that I was able to sleep in past 6 am, It's been like this for a while and I fear next week will be no exception. We watched this movie about puberty in the teenage species. (dear god!) One stellar chap told us about how he can control his wet dreams by masturbating.-Thanks you tosser! but the point is they were saying that teenagers release a hormone that makes them sleep later on in the night. So it's not fair to wake them up early because we'll be monsters. I plan on writing a letter of complaint to the board of education A.S.A.P! I'm going to be the girl that made school start later and end earlier. Oh what a world it would be. We had friday thoughts in drama class today, and I've started reading the bible, and something had been bothering me all week so I asked the class to see what they knew.
Alannah says:" Well I was wondering, because in the bible it says Adam and Eve are the first people on earth and they have two sons, Able and Cain. Cain killed Able and was banished from the land. Cain was afraid of being killed by the people outside their land. But if Adam, Eve and Cain are the only people on earth who is Cain afraid of?"
Thank goodness Liz Beach went to sunday school and knew the answer. But I was really happy I asked the question because then the class broke out into all these religious comments instead of the usual,
Regular classmember says:" This week went by pretty fast, I failed a math test and I'm really looking forward to the weekend so I can be cool"
Maybe next week I'll ask a question about politics or computers!
I took my moms bike for a wild spin today, it was so cool. I stopped at my nana's and I saw my dad as a kiddo. What a hippie. I was biking around and went by fisher when WOOO there's like half of the nepean population getting drunk and dancing to the music they're making up themselves. Someone threw a bottle at the O.C transpo bus root 16. WHAT A TERD. The popo came too.
I met some really nice girls too! HURRAH!
That's all for now!

So the play went well!
Clara's a superstar in the making awoohoohoo!
Matt Ryan bought us flowers and that's probably the only reason I'll ever decide to return to showbiz. That and the dress, it was a mighty fine dress! Our judge was kind of a nuisance, she was very off. All she really liked were our sets and our costumes, but I'll tell you right now, our sets and costumes kicked ass. I know we most likely won't make finals but I still think we were better then those very dramatic kind of twisted other plays.
Pat came home for the weekend! I missed him more then I thought I did. He's extremely hillarious when he's under the influence of large amounts of alcohol and marijuana. He couldn't stop rambling about major payne and introducing himself to people with a 40 taped to his hand. It was a pretty dramatic evening, I tried my best to avoid getting involved by hiding in the basement and playing some swell video games in which you get chased by the "popo". It's a weird feeling when someones done something wrong and you have nothing to feel guilty about. It's very satisfying in a way. It's like eating a mixed salad instead of a 10 pieces of pizza.(I totally just forgot how to spell salad). Yogalotis.
Last night "I couldn't help but overhear" that a lot of the gr.9's want to change schools. They hate Nepean, but like I'm pretty sure that school will be school no matter where you go. and unless north korea decides to nuclear bomb the world and kill us all your going to have to go to school. So we might as well make the best of it. Actually I guess you could also drop out or run away and live with the mole people. Commit a crime and go to prison with all the lesbians. You know, the uge. Join the army, cut off your legs and live in the hospital, convince your parents to be homeschooled, skip every grade in the curriculum including st.jep! Find a royal blood line and become a queen, master a plan to take over the school board.
So my sister got into Dal housy!! That bell is going places I'm telling ya! One day far from now she'll have cured cancer or something miraculous.
Congratulations on the 30 hour famine to the people who did it!

Days until cancun- 2 years, 11 months, 3 weeks and a day
Crush's- a big fat zilch
So we were at our after school play practise until very late that evening, and I had to go number one, so that's what I did. I was sitting and reading the stall door when I realized there was no toilet paper. JOY. Obviously noone was in the bathroom because it was almost 6pm and everyone was long gone. So I didn't see the harm in switching stalls with my pants still down. Of course, the old man janitor enters with his cleaning supplies just in the nick of time to see me bottom-less. As he says "is anybody in here?WOOPS!!" I run into the other stall. Quel dommage.
We had a family supper tonight, I love my fam.! Jacki and Katie spilled the beans on Cancun. They had enough stories to make 100 bibles. Here's the real kicker, my couzins own a massive deck of cards and we played crazy 8's with them. SO THAT'S A CHECK MARK ON MY LIST BABAY!!!! yeeeeeeeeeeeah!
Skiing was awesome today, the sun was so hot I actually had to take off clothes instead of bundle inside of them. The ski hill is my best friend. He makes me happy as a cat.

Spring reminds of the disney movie sleeping beauty. When everyone awakes from their deep slumber, and they're squinting their sleepy eyes while emerging from the dark; completely thrilled to be awake.
School has a completely different atmosphere now that the dark of winter is over. The days are longer, kids are staying after school to talk amongst themselves and everyone is simply a zillion times happier. I miss skiing more and more, as the weekends pass by. I've had so much spare time that I've watched all my favorite chick-flicks at least twice. Which obviously makes me want to fall in love with a handsome prince,german singer,british human-rights lawyer, or a geeky teenager. I'm starting to get frustrated with Nepean. Everyone hates everyone. I refuse to hate them back, I refuse to be a part of the thing that bothers me most about my school. It's so hard to keep happy when you're surrounded by a bunch of melodramatic fruitcakes who would rather jump off the ifle tower then admire the beautiful view.
K i'm having my midnight shot of happiness! I'm currently swirling into the vortex of time in the sickest version of bejewled known to man! I think I'm going to go meet someone this weekend. A complete stranger and hang out with them. Then never speak to them again until later in the future when we mix up each others names.
I really hope everyone has an amazing easter and an even better spring.

You know that just clean feeling and you want to whip your hair around like in those shampoo commercial's. Well I was looking forward to it, but I've just spent two days eating nothing but fast food, and apparently the american obese feeling overpowers the just clean-feeling. I just got back from Vermont/syraccuse with my mommy. It was quite the drive, and I really wish I got to go skiing, however I shopped until I wanted to have a sex change, and tomorrow I'm going to Tremblant! I love the holidays. I'm going to meet up with Mr.Finnegan and he's going to whoop my ass on the ski hill. It's going to be a swell time
being in a car for over 10 hours, really made me observe a couple of things. Truckers for one thing. They are all the same! Beard, ugly hat, this weird zombie expression like they live off coffee and some cigga's!
I decided I'd play sweet and sour to see how many of these harsh men might wave and give a little smile. One ended up giving me the finger, he's had a rough night delivering cement.
Another thing I noticed is all the police cars that are sneakily hiding behind a bush. I counted 37 and I'm not even pulling your leg. It's a fact, these men are crazy.
The last thing I noticed which eventually I got a real kick out of is when your about the pass someone they speed up just for self-richeousness and then they realize they're useless and let you by.
I learnt a cool word too, xenophobe-fear of foreigners. I intend on using it in a sentence some day. So that's my march break in a nut-shell. I'm praying for a last minute explosion of excitement, I did shop quite a bit which did make me quite thrilled. Thankyou Mommy tehe

Tonight I went to lonestar with some ski friends, and threw around some uncooked fajita dough. It was fun until we ate some of it and I felt like I was slowly turning inside-out. We were celebrating jacqueline and ross's birthdays. Ross has a massive wad of canadian tire money in his pocket that he carries around, and he covers it with a 20 dollar bill so it looks like the boy is Richard Rich. Some of the people behind us kept saying he had more money then God. Tres amusant. Lonestar really got me into southern spirits, I wanted a whip and some cattle right then. Too bad we live in Ottawa, and I don't think we own a desert. Jacki's gone to Cancuun. I left a note for her on the car seat but she took the other car so I guess she'll never know to wear plenty of sunscreen. It's march break, the break that is adored by all travelling families. I'm going to take this opportunity to sleep unbelievable amounts. Jacki reminded me that we actually have a race tomorrow! I'M SO EXCITED!! It's been a week and I'm already craving being cold. My parents forgot about me tonight, so I slept on the porch for a good twenty minutes, that was a nice sip of cold. Well the night is young, and so am I, so Jacki's bed that I have the privilege of using is calling my name. I hope you all have an amazing and happy break.
