a little bit of heartbreak [03 May 2002|08:07pm]
the raps lost game 7 against the pistons. Of course I'm devastated...but somebody has to lose. Chris Childs made a mistake..but you know he was awesome throughout the whole series...who knows..without him the raps might not have pushed for a game 5. I guess some one has to lose. I just wish that if it had to be us, we wouldn't have lost to detroit. I hate that city. I've only drove through there a couple of times of family trips to florida, washington and wherever else we've been, but my perception is..what a hell hole. It's a filthy, racist, down right disgusting excuse for a city. Don't think I'm bitter cuz we lost...I honestly have never liked detroit, and I'm just happy I don't live there, even though we'd be celebrating the success of our hockey and bball teams after breaking through to the second round, I'm much happier in Toronto (despite the raps loss, and the leafs losing 5-0 too) or almost any city..just not detroit...gross..

Anyways today was MADD (music art drama dance) festival at my school. I only had one piece on display...acrylic on canvas. O..and my elements and principles of design notebook. Some works by my friends were quite impressive, but the pen - oac stuff was AMAZING!! I can't wait til i'm in gr 12 art, cuz they get to do whatever they want :)!! There wer also 1 hr workshops, eveyone was assigned to 2, based on our top 6 choices. I got some really fun ones: stage combat, and latin percussion. The latter seemes to come kind of naturally....I'm sort of seriously considering taking drum lessons. And really...I'm not just saying that. In the aft, gr 10 and oac drama ppl did presentations. I don't feel like going into detail though cuz dinner from swiss chalet is waiting for me downstairs.

PS..I dunno if anyone has seen these ads, but gap has some new black and white commercials..very simple and all....there's one with orlando bloom..anyways..i was so happy yesterday cuz i saw my husband in one!! (jay hernandez). He looked so cute..riding his bicycle..aww i love that man.

I was hoping for a happy weekend...sigh.. [20 Apr 2002|07:55pm]
[ mood | good cuz i got it off my chest ]

I know it seems stupid, but I just wish Ms. Hamilton didn't hate me. What bugs me most is that after months she still has to think for like 5 minutes before she gets my name right..if she is even that successful. She just assumes that me and the people I sit with in bio are exactly alike. She was bitching about Catherine and I to Stef's mom. She has absolutely no right to do that if she can't discuss her problem with us to my face, or even to my mom. This is where it gets slightly confusing. Stef's mom told Stef, who later told me and Cath, that Ms. Hamilton was bad mouthing us. So then Catherine's mom called Mr.Domina to complain, and he said it was very unprofessional, and went to talk to Ms. Hamilton about it. She denied saying anything bad, and accused Caherine of listening to her conversation with Stefanie's mom from the hall outside her office. She said Catherine doesn't listen and didn't hand in some assignment, etc. Only thing is, Catherine had handed in that assignment, and I was the one that hadn't, so she was really bitching to Catherine's mom about me. That explains why she was so hostile when I went to talk to her about something later in the week. Also later that day, my mom called to talk to her, and she never returned her call. She thought it was my mom who had called earlier in the week, and therefore, didn't want to talk to the person who had complained about her. If she only knew which one I was. I am not Catherine or Stefanie god dammit...I AM CHRISTINA YOU INCOMPOTENT BITCH!!! It's so stupid because she knows who is Stefanie, and who is Catherine, but she has no idea who the fuck I am..I have been called both Catherine and Stefanie often, but she never seems to know that my name is Christina. FUCK THAT STUPID BITCH!! WHY CAN'T SHE GO BACK TO GUYANA?!?! That lady is fucked up. I hate her!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is the worst teacher I have ever had. Boring...mean...and such an idiot. She knows nothing about any of us, and clearly has favourites. She thinks the sun shines out of Nikki's ass...she is so stupid to fall for Nikki's little suck up scheme. I mean it works for her when it comes to getting marks, but I would never do that. I refuse. And everyone hates Nikki anyway..even her so called best friend.

Back to Hammy/Hamster/World's biggest (literally..fat) bitch She just gets an idea about some one and cannot let go of it. I have never hated a teacher this much..not even demello. In first term when Castelli taught us I thought she was bad, but I would beg to have her back now. I can't believe I felt guilty and pitied Ms.Hamilton before when everyone hated her. If she hadn't said anything to Stef's mom, I guarantee I would not be writing this. She is making her own enemies. Luckily if she makes enough, she might get fired. It is a waste of my money to pay for such a crappy bitch teacher. She's totally ruined this year for me. I would have been on the honour roll...not that that's all that matters to me, but it would have been nice..o and by the way that C she gave me, it was a 69% c+ bitch..you have to learn these simple things before you call me an idiot for not understanding some really somplicated shit, especially when you're teaching it. I just want Ms. Byrik back...Ms.Castelli..whoever...anyone is better..even some one that doesn't teach bio would be i'm sure.

Wow..I feel quite a bit better to get that out of my system, but it won't make ms.bitch go away. I just wish I could get her ugly, scary, judgemental face out of my head. Either that or she would suddenly learn how to teach, and how to identify people. for the last time...I AM NOT CATHERINE!!!!!!!! FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

On a happier note....that best thing happened!!! Raptors made the playoffs of course!!! I'll just relish in that and hopefully it will take some of the stress away from me. Also, leafs are up 2-0 in their series against the islanders. O..I didn't make the softball team. I think I should have honestly...hahaha..no seriously, softball I think, is the only sport I can say for sure that I feel I am good at. But there were lots of other good people trying out, and I don't think Ms.Pace got to see much of what I can do..I really don't mind tho. It's not worth worrying about. I have too much else on my mind for next week. Me & Christine's health project is due Wednesday..crap I'd forgot about that one. The other stuff is an art presentation monday, a geo test tuesday, as well as a Spanish presentation. That was supposed to be friday, but due to matters beyond my control it had to be pushed back. there are also 2 bio tests - mon and wed - again what the hell was she thinking. Thank god there's something good this week...Thursday..job shadow day. I think it will be great cuz I'm going to CTV!! I'm so excited. As you may know I haven't quite decided what I wanna be, but it will likely be something in film or the media. I can really see myself being a foreign news correspondent. To travel the world is my top priority in life...before anything I think. I mean I do want a family..maybe even 5 kids..but I think I would give anything to travel the world. See..feel...hear all those places I've dreamed about and seen on tv. photo-journalism would be great too, because I love writing..I think language skills are my greatest gift...and I would love to take pictures of all the things I saw..to show the world. Anyways maybe I'm getting a little carried away..what I'll be doing Thursday is hanging out with a tv producer..I can't wait!!!!!! It's really such a great opportunity. I'll even get business cards and whatnot...maybe one day I'll be working for these ppl!!!! no I think I'm getting carried away slightly, but I am really excited. I hope it's all I am expecting, cuz I'd really be disappointed if the tv business I dreamed about, was so different from the reality.

Well for now I'd better just get to work. Just a few horrible days til thursday :)

PS. For those of you who do not know, 4 canadian soldiers were killed in afghanistan in an accident earlier this week. They were doing a training exercise which involved guns. Thinking they were under enemy fire, an american plane dropped a bomb on the canadian soldiers, injuring several of them and killing 4. Clearly there was some miscommunication, and therefore it would be unfair for me to hold this against anyone until the investigation is complete. However, I was disgusted by president Bush's reaction. He did not make an apology until almost 2 days later, and showed absolutely no emotion. If this is the type of gratitude we recieve, what are we fighting for the americans for? I just hope the bravery of all soldiers is recognized, and that those who died can be truly appreciated. They gave their lives fighting for a good cause, and made their country proud. My condolences to all those affected. May those young men who were killed rest in peace.

I've been working all weekend. I haven't done any geo, but I really should have. That's probably my biggest project. I guess I don't have too much to show for my time spent at the comp really....it just seems like I do because I over-exaggerated how much I really had to do. I did my spanish good copy, but I'm just looking for a few more pictures. My art project I'm just starting now, and my health I have begun but it's quite disorganized. I'm still figuring out how to arrange the information...I found a lot, and I still haven't done the interview yet. I should have called on Thursday night, because nobody's called me back. I left the message on Friday night, fully aware that no one would likely hear it til tuesday, and therefore I would be handing in my research notes to mrs. pace yet another day late. Well I guess health isn't really that important. I mean it only counts for 25% of the phys ed mark, so therefore one project counts for such a small fraction I shouldn't even worry. It's only Gr.11 PE too, so it won't be one of my graduating marks that the u's are interested in. Look how smart I am? I don't like to admit it, but scs has really opened my eyes, and I'll be really thankful one day how it helped prepare me for the future. I don't think I would earn these skills at many other schools.

Anyways...I have to get back to..you guessed..work. I'm going out in 45 minutes so I hafta make the most of my time. Tomorrow I'll probly be too tired and grumpy to work..I'm sleeping over at vicky's tonight. Fun :)

BTW..Yesterday was my dad's birthday. We went out for thai..again. It's good and everything, but I kinda think I'm getting sick of it. Well..maybe it's just cuz I was more in the mood for Chinese...or maybe Mexican....whatever.

march break :) [23 Mar 2002|01:14pm]
[ mood | thirsty ]
[ music | Alicia Keys - - yeah!!! going to the concert ]

I'm at ticket master right now, frantically trying to get Alicia Keys tickets. I wanna surprise Kris with a really good 16th bday present. She's been my best friend for years, and has always been so considerate..I have to get her something good. I'm calling with the cell phone too..but frankly I think I've left it too late anyways..they're probly all sold out. YES!!! I got the tickets... they're row 29, seats 17&18 in section 104..I'm so excited!! But I have to dish out $140.00! Aargh. aww well it will be lots of fun. Too bad I have to wait til July 8th. Now I'm just torturing myself by going back to see if any better tickets are suddenly avaiable...ahh I'm a fool..I have to stop.

Anyways, back to March break. It hasn't been a bad one, the first week at least was great. I volunteered at the ago. The paper mache artists from Mexico got sick and had to go back to Mexico DF, so I was stationed with this other paper mache artist, Liliana. She was so funny...she's from Toronto, but oriniginally from Colombia so of course I got to practice my Spanish anyways..not enough I don't think tho because I thought I was making a fool of myself..hehe. On Tuesday after volunteering, Kris and I went shopping, and on Thursday we went to the shoe museum. It was fun ot see Kris, but the museum was a little boring..sadly..

I'm kind of dissappointed that I didn't see anyone else, especially my old friends. They're all back at school this week anyways. Speaking of school, I really should have done some work this week, but as of yet I haven't started..I've been cleaning my room all week. It shouldn't have taken so long, but I've been dragging it out...and watching lots of tv. OMG!! On the Y&R;, Malcolm is dead!!!! :( ..I'm so sad...he was my favourite charcter, mostly cuz Shemar Moore (who played Malcolm) is gorgeous :P yummy.
Well I'm proud of myself for not spending the rest of my time on the comp. This is my first time online since I last updated. Yah me..

Yeah so I can't think of anything else to say..I'm just going to go now...yeah.

nothing monumental.. [10 Mar 2002|06:34pm]
[ mood | lazy ]
[ music | Tweet - Oops! (Oh My) ]

nothing much has been happening...nothing specific. I just felt I had to write since it's been a while. I really should be working...I have to meet Mr. Hill at scs on tues morning (I wish I remembered what time he said..). He's giving me a second chance to show him an assignment that I didn't have done last week. He's so nice...but I haven't started...I probably will today. I should anyways because I'll be volunteering tomorrow from 11:00 - 3:00. I'll be at the ago, helping this paper mache artists from mexico....and they only speak spanish!! I'll get to practise..but I probly won't bother because I'll just be making a fool of myself. and there will be translators anyways.

Kris is volunteering there also, but there's so many jobs so I doubt she'll be doing the same one as me. Afterwards, we're going to go shopping almost everyday since the eaton centre and china town are both within walking distance. plus on wednesday jyd will be at indigo...we wanna go and console him for the raptors' suckiness right now. They lost again today...it was so hard to watch..they all look so down in the dumps and out of spirits. at least they won the last one....or else it would have been a 15 game losing streak...its really put them low in the playoff postions...it sucks so bad. Sigh...

Tomorrow after the ago I have to go home to work, and maybe shopping to find kris a bday present. I feel kinda guilty, since I missed her bday party yesterday. I spent the earlier part of the day (2:00 - 5:00) at a show that Reema's Indian dance company put on. Nic, Vicky, Amy, and Erin were there to cheer her on too. It was a really impressive show, with beautiful and elaborate costumes, and it was so nice to be exposed to the culture. There was also a reception with great food afterwards. The plan was to go to Kris' for her sweet 16 party afterwards, but by then I was so tired I really didn't feel up to it. You probly think I'm a horrible best friend, but it was just a little get together with a few ppl at her house that I didn't even know. It would have just been akward. So I went home, and when Kris called later I explained what had happened. Of course she understood, and we made plans for this week.

On friday I went to CS's apt with Cath, Jess, Jane, and Sarah. We had a long bitching session, and were going to go see 40 days and 40 nights..but we decided that it was nicer just to have a chance to talk since we never really did with work and whatnot getting in the way. So we stayed at Chris' and rented 2 movies: "O", and "American Pie 2". We didn't get to finish the second one, which is just as well since it was as nasty and stupid...no..even more nasty and stupid than the original. But Kevin...drool..I love that guy...he was my favourite in the first one and he's still gorgeous...I dunno the actor's name tho.

"O" on the other hand was amazing. It was so moving and jarring. For those of you who don't know, (ahem...) it's a modern adaptation of Othello starring Mekhi Phipfer, Julia Stiles, and Josh Hartnett as Hugo (or Iago in the actual play). He was such a good villian...so evil and twisted. The story was so much sadder than Romeo and Juliet, and the movie really gave a sense of tragedy. Cath actually started crying when O was killing Des. I had tears in my eyes too....it was so touching and scary at the same time. Although it definitely isn't a feel good movie, I thought it was beautiful and it's one of my favourites now.

Well I'm busy talking on msn with 2 of my bestest friends (C & K) and I'd like to give them my full attention..so goodbye...by the way J..I'll try to do something about ICQ over the holidays so i can talk to you too :)

sad [26 Feb 2002|08:22pm]
I'm sad. I'm an Olymp-o-holic..I can't deal with them being over. We had a great games tho. Did you know speedskaters won 9 of our medals...it's crazy..more than half! I have discovered the excitement of short track speedskating...it's so aggressive..so fast and crazy. I wanna be a short track speed skater..I should do something about this wish before I get too old. My parents made some mistakes with me...I was never a ballet, gymnastics, girly sport kind of girl but those are the ones they signed me up for. I wish I'd discovered my love for basketball and baseball sooner. I was passionate about figure skating tho...I wanted to be just like Kristi Yamaguchi..I wanted to win a gold for Canada and stand on that podium and hear my anthem played. It must be the best feeling in the world...but I gave up skating because of personal reasons..Ah well. It has made me realize I can help them do a better job with my little sister. I want her to play hockey..she's perfect for it...and to my surprise she really wants to also. I'm gonna make sure she acts on these wishes before it's too late.

Anyways..Canada proved we have the best hockey players in the world, both male and female. They did an amazing job, and all of Canada is so happy and proud of them for reclaiming our sport. It's amazing how much a game can re-ignite people's patriotism. I knew Iginla would score in the gold medal game...he's my favourite player and I had faith in him and the whole team all along. I knew they could do it.

Well..I'm just going on about this because I really don't wanna forget saltlake...it was an amazing olympics. Sigh...why does it hafta end..I have to go back to worrying about all my problems. This weekend I hafta do 4 projects and study for 3 big tests..I am one screwed idiot.

very tired girl [14 Feb 2002|10:57pm]
[ mood | tired ]
[ music | Glenn Lewis ]

I don't have time for a real update since I need sleep, but I just went to http://mash.dork.nu and I really recommend it for fun...here are my results.

You live in a House.
You're married to Tyrese.
You drive a Volvo.
Your car is the color Green.
You live in the state Florida.
Your honeymoon is Hong Kong.
Your occupation is a Film Director.
You have this many kids: 5 (3 male; 2 female).


Hey!! pretty damn fine!!! The second time I got this...but it can't really count cuz yeah...

You live in a Mansion.
You're married to Vince.
You drive a Volvo.
Your car is the color Blue.
You live in the state Puerto Rico.
Your honeymoon is Fiji.
Your occupation is a Interior Designer.
You have this many kids: 6 (4 male; 2 female).


well I did it over and over again cuz it's just fun to see how it changes each time..the first 2 (above) were probably the best ones I got anyways..except the fourth one was good too..I was married to F and we had a quatro..and 5 kids...ahh I'm like describing my perfect life.

I really miss F..I should be over him by now. I actually think I am, but I'll never be able to forget him..I wish I could because I'll probably never see him again. Sigh..I'm just reminiscing cuz I'm alone this valentine's day. It seems like everyone picked up some guy(s) in st.donat...Why'd I hafta be sick..o well...I didn't even like any one I met close to as much as I liked my old friends :( sob..st. monica's.

on a happier note..Catriona LeMay Doan won the speed skating gold..I knew she would. She's really quite amazing..I love how she always looks so happy..I wish I had such a nice big smile like that. On another good note concerning our athletes..it's crazy how much love and how many endorsement deals Sale and Pelletiere are getting cuz of this judge screw up. It's quite nice, but it won't get them the gold...too bad cuz it's actually been proved there was a fix. Sigh..

I should go sleep...but on the other hand I don't do a lot of things I should. For example I still haven't given in my course selection form. I've finally decided that french has to go. Now I have to decide between the ones I really wanna take. Unless I take 8 courses (yeah right) than one of these has to go: Classical Civilization, World History, World Issues..it's a really tough decision cuz I think they'd all be useful and actually intersting.

st donat & course selection [12 Feb 2002|03:56pm]
[ mood | disappointed ]
[ music | J to the Lo & Ja - Ain't it Funny REMIX ]

I'm at school and people are peering over my shoulder so i hafta be careful what i say. Grr why can't they just go away. Anyways I'm getting back into the horrible life which is school after my little vacation. Lots of ppl had fun, and although I enjoyed the skiing and the cute little village, I was miserable and sick and had to miss most of the activities...but they were dum anyways.

We went x-country skiing one day. My head was throbbing and insanely sore the whole time, but I put that aside cuz something worse happened to jane. as we were going down the last hill her ski got caught on a tree, and her ankle twisted, tearing a ligament. She has to use crutches while she waits for the long healing process. I felt really bad, but I think I was the least helpful person in my room. Jenny and Catherine were being so generous, and although I tried, I think I had a harder time because I was sick and PMSing.

The skiing was fun..I thought it would be hard to get back into since I snowboarded for 2 years, but it wasn't at all. It was an easy and comfortable transition, and my confidence has somewhat increased.

Really, the trip was ok but I couldn'y enjoy it to it's full potential, and spent a lot of time complaining and trying unsuccessfully to sleep.

Oops! I just remembered I have piano so I'll hafta make this quick. For course selection I am still indefinite, but the decision to drop the sciences has been a total wight of my mind. I think I'll do physics tho because I need it in case I do architecture or interior design. For languages I'm definitely doing Spanish, and I'm considering French and Classical Civ. It's really a hard decision to make tho, because I also want to be able to fit in World History and World Issues but it seems impossible. Philosophy and Economics might also be useful, but I'm not sure I can do them.

Course selection is one of the many things I must scramble to do tonight, days-weeks after I should have. I suck.

Tomorrow is lent..I'm giving up swearing, and considering not saying "like" at all and not eating chocolate. I'll see..

Canada is not doing too great at the olympics. I think all we have is a speed skating bronze and a ice dancing silver. The judging was totally rigged tho because the canadians skated perfectly and got a standing ovation, and the russians made some big mistakes. The crowd was all booing when the canadians got lower than the russians....it was wrong. skating judges are always fucked up dishonest bitches. A newspaper predicts that our other pair has already been decided to finish in 5th..we'll see. I hope the results are better than sydney..that was embarassing, but really we can't fully appreciate anything these athletes do for their countries.

happy black history month [02 Feb 2002|10:46am]
I completely forgot yesterday. My complaining was not the best way to start off the month. I apologize.

Yesterday I worked on my art all day...I just ripped all the appropriate pics I could find out and then divided tham into their sections..I don't feel like explaining, but it's for this "elements and principals of grahpic design" assignment where we have to make a book. Everyone seems to hate it but I'm actually kind of enjoying it. I won't be saying that tomorrow tho....time's running out because as usual I left it to the last minute..and it's due tues.

hmm..slightly controversial maybe.. [01 Feb 2002|01:18pm]
[ mood | blah ]
[ music | lp ]

This entry has to do with ethnicity..it's a rather senstive subject but I have a few comments about somethings a friend of mine..let's say "X" believes..and let's the whole world know her beliefs, not even considering other people's feelings.

I never even noticed (honestly) the differences people believe ethnicity makes. I used to go to a catholic school where people came from so many ethnic backgrounds. Most of my friends were filipino, but there were also many people from latin american, carribean, european, asian, arab, and mixed backgrounds. My group of friends included people from all these backgrounds, and I guess I never saw the differences society did because we all held the same catholic beliefs and were all treated the same.

Anyways..that was my old school. St. Clement's I guess you could say is the same...but not exactly. I notice the difference now..I notice that there are many more white people than other ethnicity. But you know what that really has nothing to so with what I wanted to talk about..I just felt like saying it.

To get to the point, my friend "X" is chinese and proud of it. I have no problem with that of course. The thing that hurts me is the numerous slanderous and stereotypical comments she makes about white people. If I said anything bad about chinese people she would accuse me of being racist and probably never speak to me ever again...she has a bad temper. but why would I say anything if I don't believe in stereotypes..that's one thing I definitely learned at st.mon's. I know there are many racist white people in the world and in the past world history, but why should I be made to feel guilty for that if I don't share any of those beliefs...and why should I have to put up with what X says..why is it ok to bash me because I'm not a minority? Does it mean I have no feelings, no ethnicity of my own? I do have roots...Irish and I'm proud of that.

Well I could go on about this but frankly I don't want to because I feel slightly uncomfortable. I just had to get that off my chest, because well it's starting to hurt me and I don't know what to do. If I confronted her I KNOW she'd deny it and just add "complainers" to her list of stereotypes of white people. You know what come to think of it I don't even knoe why I'm friends with her. Not that I can't handle what she says, but she doesn't even have a very nice personality either. She's pushy, bossy, impatient, rolls her eyes at almost anything that comes out of another persons mouth, slightly egotistical, quick-tempered...geez why am i friends with her? well i guess cuz she was nice to me on my first day at a brand new school. She can be nice..but this year especially it just seems to be hidden under this horrible front.

I feel very bad to be saying such things about a "friend"..but hopefully I won't have to say it ever again.

It snowed..I have lots of work. Looks like I'm house bound for the 4 day weekend.

nostalgia [27 Jan 2002|05:10pm]
[ mood | mixed ]
[ music | fabolous ]

avoiding homework as always..just wanted to take a few minutes to tell you about my very nostalgic weekend.

Friday was wasted.

Saturday I did homework cuz I had soooooo much, and then in the evening we went out for mexican food for my mom's bday. We went to Mariachi's, which is the restaurant owned by Hugo's aunt. At least 2 of the waitors were very gorgeous...drool..Back in the st. mon's days we used to go there for free food and what not..so many memories. I looked around for hugo but I didn't see him til I caught a glimpse of some one who i think was him on my way out after we'd eaten..I didn't realize til I was outside tho.

Sunday (today) I woke up early but lay in bed for a long time..I had breakfast and then went with my mom and my sister to mass. As usual I stood at the back rather than sitting. It was the first time I'd been in a while but I thougt I might be able to see noel..or maybe roger or jordi. After looking around for a while I concluded that none of them were there. But then during communion Noel walked past me to the entrance thing just behind me. He kept whispering my name until I decided to go to the back too, and we talked for a little while. He said roger was there too but I still never saw him. O well..it was nice to talk to someone..he looked older..but not much different. Noel used to be my like best friend whe we were really little. I miss my monica cru..sigh.

Best do my homework..Christine was here all day working on our health and now I hafta get all the other stuff done...grr...bye bye.

I couldn't think of a subject. Too much random stuff has been compiling in my head all day. Right now I'm typing this thing for Spanish...my bro is espceting me to be off at 9:30 but no too bad..he's been on here since before I got home with his stupid friend e. Now I don't like being harsh...I can tolerate or even like some of my brothers friends, but e is down right rude and frustrating towards me and my sister, meanwhile sucking up whenever there's an adult in the room. He can never keep something to himself...what a..grrrr. Trying not to hate more ppl than I already do..

So..I don't really feel up to saying all the stuff I wanted to before..word is being a bitch. It says it can tell when I use spanish or french and then check grammar and spelling for that language instead of english...lies..

Hmmm..so what happened today..Well since I've been online, I haven't talked to anyone. I checked my guestbook tho. k signed again..reminded me we still hafta take hip hop. One of these days we will. speaking of the guestbook can you PLEASE visit my page and tell me what you think in the guestbook..it's really quite sad and lonely. Anyways I came online and checked my msn contacts...who the hell is twinkle toes..I read the profile and found it was 3. There was a link to her journal so I went to check it out..she hasn't updated since november, but she was badmouthing one of my friends, and said it was ok cuz jen was the only one from the school that read her journal. I wrote a comment that went something like this "are you sure jen is the only one from school that reads this, cuz i bet one of lorraine's friend just read it." I was just about to click send when i noticed that she enabled the thing that tells her your ip address. Now she is a nerd who can do some pretty crazy shit with a computer..I jus didn't want her hacking into my new comp or something...so i decided i'd threaten her another time.

Anyways..I could be at a raptors game...if I'd just got those dam tickets...grr..It woudl have been prefect too cuz i hardly had any work to do tonight. The smart thing to do would be projects...I have many..but no..that requires some self control and intelligence neither if which I feel like having at the moment. I decided I'm going to get myself a brand spanking new jersey. I need a treat. Anyways..all the stuff I had wanted to talk about before now seems mostly pointless..so I'll just tell you about history class today.

Our history text had a page with a bunch of slang used in the 20's. So we were going through comparing to the slang today, and if we still used any of the 20s stuff..well apparently back then dogs meant feet. So we were talking about what dog means now and ms. haggart said that she knows the guy that wrote "who let the dogs out." But the reason he wrote it is cuz whenever they went clubbing and he saw all the ugly girls in the club he was like "ew who let the dogs out." So anyways..I found that amusing..and mean..haha. It's also weird to think of a teacher clubbing...but then ms.haggart is somewhat young i think so i guess it's ok.

I have something scary to say..but I'll wait til next time and leave you hanging..bye bye.

waiting is boring [22 Jan 2002|04:05pm]
[ mood | exanimate ]
[ music | various songs... ]

I'm just waiting right now for my mom to get here. I'm too lazy to walk home...and stiff from aerobics in gym yesterday.
Yeah so not much has happened recently. School has been suprisingly..not horrible this week. Yesterday and today we had subs for various subjects, presentations and quizzes which i was unprepared for were postponed...etc..it's good..except i have lots of projects i should be working on.

I took that ffx quiz..i'm yuna.

rebel is a biatch

i bid $185 for $120x2 raptors tickets today..some one else bid $225 but at least demello didn't get it..muahahha..o but i really wanted them..sigh.

i said i didn't have much to say..so bye

crazy busy weekend..but i'm worried what's to come because the panic hasn't really hit me yet.. [19 Jan 2002|07:10pm]
[ mood | listless ]
[ music | from some movie preview..can't think which one... ]

I'm in a somewhat good mood despite all the stress i should be feeling. I have tons of homework I've barely even started yet, and tomorrow I'm going to my second bday party this weekend..and I still don't have gift.

Last week was very long..I was so grateful when friday finally came. I mean I always am but last week felt so much longer than i thought 5 days possibly could feel. I really shouldn't be here right now but all I have to do still hasn't really hit me..i feel like i'm watching myself innocently strolling along but in the back of my mind always expecting the disastrous panic to hit...it's scary waiting.

I told my mom i'd be off a while ago so i really hafta rush bc i'm also breaking a promise to myself and that just messes everything up more.
Last night was lor's bday party...not the funnest thing ever but alright. The food was really good cuz her mom made chinese food..ahh my mouth is watering just remembering. So what happened..really not much...we played family feud for a while. Then she opened presents..or did that come first..i don't remember, but i personally thought mine was the best. I got her this really nice pink caboodles box and this caboodles shimmer brush she wanted. Somebody else got her the princess diaries and everyone else (who already saw it) decided we should watch it which i had no problem with. That was until they all promptly decided i wouldn't like it. Maybe I took that too seriously but I was honestly really offended that they would just judge me like that so quickly and assume they can know what i like. I mean I know friends should be a good judge of character, but frankly they were wrong because I did enjoy the movie. It wasn't the greatest ever, but maybe I would have enjoyed it even more if i didn't have their harsh conclusion about me repeating in my head for most of it.

After the movie we were gonna watch another one but everyone wanted to sleep. I had no idea what time it was because the clock kept flashing 12:00 * 12:00 * 12:00..etc. anyways me, jess, cath and lor talked for a while....mostly bitching about the annoying bimbos at our schools and saying how much we miss our old friends, guy friends, boyfriends.

We woke up early cuz we had to leave at 11:30. While we were lying there getting recooperated lor suddenly said "omg look at chris..you're so thin!" and jess was like "yeah like a ski or something"..uhh..right..And I realized it's because I was lying with my back straight..not slumped over like i always sit and stand. I really hafta stop slouching if ppl (mainly myself) will believe i look thin. I really beat up my self confidence too much..it only makes me feel worthless and ugly so i really should start believing the compliments ppl tell me. It just seems hard when I hafta look at that stupid person in the mirror..sigh..I have to start being nice to myself..but it's hard.

Well We had pancakes for breakfast made by jd, cs and spencer. the first bacth was plain, but next came chocolate chips...yumm. I made this really yummy one with chocolate chips on top and (frozen) strawberry jam on top of that. mm..heavenly. eww..that was corny..anyways I should go and stop avoiding my burdens. Maybe if I face them head on for once, panic and i will never have to face off.

the world is against me [14 Jan 2002|05:05pm]
[ mood | pessimistic ]
[ music | none...it just adds to the throbbing in my head.. ]

I feel so miserable that I have to be back at this god forsaken place. I really forgot how much I hated it til I got a break from it. I guess my bad mood has been showing tho, because all last week people were saying "are you ok?" Well no because I was so sad to be back at scs and pms was making me nautious. My weekend was crappy too..just like all of last week I was working my ass off doing all the homework the first night it was assigned. I even did a chunk of homework on saturday night which I was really proud of myself for...but it didn't pay off..I have not had a break yet. I'm just taking 5 minutes now to get the this off my chest before I go rushing around looking for bday presents. I hafta buy 2 "thoughtful" presents (not hmv gift certificates) before friday. I'm sick of doing things for other ppl..sigh. My mom's bday is coming up too.

As for last week..I don't really remember it. I was reminded about all the projects I have to do including 2 for health, spanish, geo, my art booklet, and my stupid canvas which is due friday. I would rather just rip it up. It is soo fucking ugly..I don't wanna do anything about i..I just wanna sleep. I am so sleep deprived and pissed off at everything. I think the library is closing in a minute..dammit i don't wanna face the walk home in the sleety nasty snow which is gonna make my hair frizz and will just melt anyway so what's the point of having any if we can't have a day off school.

My sinuses and my shoulder are paining me..of course I have my sinus problems almost all the time but my shoulder is hurting due to the lack of courtesy of ppl in this school. short story shorter because i'm too lazy: 2 fat little girls blocking doorway even tho i say excuse me so i bang my shoulder as i try and squeeze past. gahh..everyone sucks.

On a few happy notes:
- curling in gym was fun
- ethan (with his beautiful smile and curly hair) won survivor..o did you see silas at the reunion..dam!!
- 2 parties this weekend..although that could be bad because 1 is a sleepover and i won't be able to catch up and stuff..more falling behind.

i think i should go...I'm bored of typing and besides I'm only trying to avoid all the problems I have to face when I get home such as:
- homework
- finding liza's sheet which i lost
- practicing piano for my stupid exam tomorrow

ahh this sucks...

dreading school [03 Jan 2002|07:19pm]
[ mood | tired ]
[ music | BS - stupid btich got her song in my head ]

i hate the thought of having to go back..this fear is building up inside me. It really only occured to me today how close I am to hearing that dreaded "hmm hmm hmm hmm..hmm hmm hmm hmm." We have the most retarded bell. I haven't done a shred of work yet..except last night I did some painting..but everything I did was a big mistake...a step backwards instead of forwards.

Today I went to the paramount with anna, em, and michelle to see beauty and the best in imax...even tho I own it, it was all remastered and stuff and it was so good on the big screen. After we were gonna go to em's house..and to my surprise I told them I was going home instead. I don't exactly know why..maybe I'm just scarred from my last visit to emilia's house. Anyways as I walked along queen with them towards the subway, I saw mae. Actually I wouldn't have noticed cuz my head was in the clouds, but michelle noticed her looking at me and going "hi hi hi hi hi..etc". So we basically just asked eachother what was going on and stuff, and then said bye. I kinda miss mae cuz she always made scs more fun. She is one..if not the funniest person I have ever met.

I wore my new jeans, and one of my esprit tops. I feel so special cuz everyone complimented my jeans and altho they've seen it before my jacket. Michelle was so nice today..it seemed odd. Well i guess she never was really mean..I just don't appreciate many of the things she has said about me and other people in the past. She was so cheerful..and she gave a homeless man money..she usually seems like shes in pain underneath but putting on a brave front. Today she seemed really happy tho..I'm glad for her.

Anyways...so what have I been doing the last couple of days. Well I don't remember what I said in my last update, but since then we've had quite a few people over for dinner. As always it was really nice to see..ahh friends is on..i'll login to finish this later..

An old one..should have known. WHY CAN'T THEY SHOW A NEW ONE!!!!??? Well anyways we had o,s& b over one night, and the a few days we had the bastons, plus peter, svetlana, and soltan. Svetlana was telling me about her job at the acc..it sounds so cool. I wanna be a hostess now. She gets free access to all games, and concerts, and she gets to meet some of the celebrities. Ahh..I'm so jealous. She gets so close to vince..she says he's her favourite from the raptors and he really is cute and so sweet in real life. Ahh jealousy. Svetlana is so nice tho..I'm happy she got a job like that that she really enjoys.

I did nothing for new years but I was very content in my PJs...I'd wear them all the time if I could. Why can't there be an international pajama day, and everyone has to wear PJs by law...hehe. If I was the queen of the world I would implement that law...actually I'd make it apply to every weekday. But weekends and holidays people go out to nice places so it wouldn't apply then...ok I'm just rambling.

Anyways..I officially have evidence that BS - you can interpret that as Britney Spears...or Bull Shit..lip syncs. I mean I knew it all along but I really know for sure now. My sister wanted to watch her hbo concert special, so I let her see the end when she sings I'm a slave for you. Well you know that part where she groans..yes groans because she doesn't sing, she..or whoever does her voice..groans..anwyays there's a part where she groans "Now Watch Me." Well the camera was close up, and I distinctly without one shred of doubt saw her mouth say "Now Watch me" but it was at the wrong part of the song..ahahaha. She is such a phony little bitch. I kinda pity her tho, because before that concert her whole closet got stolen. Haha...no I'd be pissed if that was me. And you know what...she isn't in that great shape...seriously my body is just as good as hers..I mean I have low self esteem but I'm not afraid to admit to that. Haha and I'm not paying 3 personal trainers..I'm not paying anything. Well whatever I don't wanna be cocky..usually I'm modest..too modest...I should start complimenting myself sometimes..\

Anyways..sorry for this babbling...just some things I found interesting..
Smells like dinner time so I'll be going

psp in 33% done...1/3 of the way there in half an hour. On my old comp it took 7 hours!!!!

i really don't feel like it..but i'm updating anyways [30 Dec 2001|10:34pm]
[ music | r&b; thug - R Kelly ]

**excuse typos, my fingers seem to be having trouble today**
this is my third lazy day...i like it. up til now everything was busy. the rest of this week will be too..dam..i hate being busy. Anyways last night and the night before, I went places with my dad of all people. It was fun cuz we never do anything together. 2 days ago we went to the bloor west cinema to see a presentation from the cannes film festival of award winning commercials - the best of 2001. It sounds weird that we would go pay money to watch commercials, but for both of us it cost only $6 altogether, and the ads were really funny. Then last night my dad took me and my sister to the ago to see canvas of war. even tho i already saw it, I really wanted to see it again since last time I really didn't have time. ok call me a dork if you want but I love art. It was good, but my sister was kinda distracting, tugging on my arm the whole time and saying that she wanted to go see the giant hamburger. She got her wish, but as soon as we left the ago she started complaining that we should call mom and ask if we can go out for dinner. Thing is my dad didn't wanna take us period, so we go the consolation prize of renting a movie at rogers instead. We got America's Sweethearts which wasn't as good as I was hoping, but it was ok.

Tonight Barbara, Sarah, and Oliver came over for dinner and to exchange gifts. I got life's necessities: chocolate and money :) so I'm a happy girl. I might see sarah on new years..unless she was joking..anyways the plan to go to jordi's has not fallen through as far as i know...I'm really not sure. Tomorrow I might go exchange my rotten clothes. Still hoping there's some of those yellow tops left at a.e. For now..back to the instant messengers because it's boring recounting my life to myself.

I resolve that me and kris will finally enroll in hip hop classes.
