Finally?
I really hate dialup with a passion. I’ve been trying to update my blog for like 25 minutes, but it wouldn’t even load blogger so I could sign in. But I’ve finally got it working. It’s really stupid though, there is high speed ten minutes in both directions around our house but they won’t give us high speed. Bell sucks.
Anyway, with that aside: I just got in from the movies. Mom and I went to Wal-Mart after she picked me up from Granny’s house, and Kathrynn called me on my cell. She wanted to know if I would go to the mall with her when we got back so she could return her cell phone. After we fought with the assholes lovely people at FiDo we went to see Blood Diamond. It was a pretty good movie, and a pretty good outing too.
Have Kathrynn and I finally reached that point where we can forge a friendship, and be “close” sisters instead of sisters that are forever fighting? I hope so, but it’s too early to tell. We’ve been getting along well this past year, we used to always be down each others throats. Now we’ve sort of mellowed out. Tonight, I felt like I was out with a good friend.
I do wonder why she decided to invite me to the mall and movies though. Usually I’m the last person she invites anywhere, but she really sounded like she wanted me to go. Yes, I’m admitting it: I had fun.
Now I’m off to bed, and hopefully I’ll sleep all of the first half of tomorrow, as I know I won’t get any sleep the entire time I’m at camp.

Here We Go Again
I sort of left a really big English I.S.U. to the last moment. I had a month so far to start my I.S.U, “The Magazine”, and I’ve only just started the rough parts of the draft today.
We’re supposed to pick a decade from 1920-1990, and until today I had no clue what I was going to do. I chose the 90s because I wanted to do the biography on Rob Zombie (I love his music - don’t ask why, I can’t explain it. I just love it). It requires ten parts; the cover, table of contents, biography, review on a movie/novel, two advertisements of something popular at that time (I’m thinking Play Station or something like that…except I have to do more research because I don’t really know what came out in the 90s) a questionnaire on a subject that would concern my readers at this time, a comic, editorial, a few articles, and a bibliography.
The entire thing is due on January 15th (Neil’s birthday). On that same day, I have a paper for Peer Helping due which I also haven’t started. I have my hands full. I’ve started to panic because I know I’m running out of time, I can feel it dripping away. I have to go camping this weekend, and after that my holidays are practically shot. I also wanted to use Photoshop or something to do the magazine layout when I get back to school, so I want the entire rough draft finished by then so I don’t have to worry about it.
I have a couple of other things due on the first day back, so I’m stressing about that. Plus I feel really tired lately. I’ve been napping a lot, so it’s not because I’m not sleeping or anything. I thought the holidays would be relaxing.
Anyway, I should attempt to work on my project. Or steal Dylan’s Xbox from him muhaha. Yeah…sorry about the uninteresting post.

Made It
So I made it to my grandparent’s house today. I woke up at eight and went upstairs to go online, thinking I wouldn’t be leaving until later because I didn’t think anyone was home to drive me. My dad came in the family room and told me he was going to drive me right then. So I had to scramble to get ready so he wouldn’t be late for work. But I can be speedy when I want to be.
Today Karen, Dylan and I went for a little outting to pick out a movie or two, get milk, and get some medicine for Thomas - who’s poor little nose is running. After that, I took Dylan and Thomas for a little walk to get the mail. It was adorable; they were taking a long time getting the mail out of the box so I said “Come on guys,” to hurry them up a bit because the guy behind us was waiting. He laughed and said it was okay, and as we were walking away Thomas said “I think that man likes us.”
Tonight the plan is to just sit back and watch one of the movies we rented. Tomorrow I’m not too sure what we’re doing, Granny mentioned that we might go out so that could be exciting. I’m hoping Nifty will call at some point after 8 tonight, so I can talk to him about what we’re doing after I get back from camping on the first.
In any case, I’m looking forward to spending the next few days with family.

Busy Me
As I mentioned yesterday, today I went to the boyfriend’s annual family Christmas dinner - it was the first year they had it, which was pretty cool haha. Nifty picked me up early, around nine, and then we went to Canadian Tire so he could exchange his TV (it had a huge dent in it).
People didn’t start arriving until like three so we watched a movie and then I fell asleep because I was tired. Yesterday was very exciting, and I didn’t go to bed until late and I woke up early because I was under the impression that Nifty was picking me up at 8. He slept in though, I didn’t. I got up when my alarm clock rang.
Anyway, it was a really nice dinner. All of Nifty’s family are super cool and very nice. His dad is really good at making touching toasts and speeches. I think they like me, which is good.
He gave me his TV tonight, and an old DVD player nobody uses or wants. Dad set it up in his truck and I predicted as I got in the car that it would fall over. We made it safely to our road, but at the turn it fell flat on it’s face with a sickening crash. I thought I heard the glass crushing inward. I was so disappointed, and Dad sounded really guilty but when we got to the house and he checked it, all was good. It works fine - other then the DVD hookup being a little unsteady but that’s alright. It’s better then not having a TV in my room.
Tomorrow Dad’s going to hook up the dish so I can watch TV down in my room. I’m pretty pumped about that. Then, either before or after, Karen or Papa will be picking me up so I can go to Papa and Granny’s house and chill with everyone there.
I should head to bed now, because I have a busy day ahead of me. I also wanted to apologize to everyone: yesterday I didn’t get around to reading any blogs because I was so busy and just took a ten minute break to update this thing, and tonight I’m so tired that I wouldn’t be able to focus, but I’m hoping that everyone had a good Christmas.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
I hope you all had a good one! I know I did. Nobody followed the “Secret Santa” rule, and everyone went wild. A few people got jifted though because some people did still follow the Secret Santa rule. Next year we’ll have to plan it better…or at least buy “back up gifts”, poor Nelson barely got anything. I hope he doesn’t mind - after all we are letting him marry Shannon. Second thought, poor guy. Haha just kidding.
I got a CD, a book, a notebook, some pens, a couple shirts, boots, a hair straightener/curler, a movie, some skin stuff, a desk for my laptop, a gift certificate for the mall, and some pj’s. So yes, I was spoiled - yet again. I’m happy with everything I got, but most importantly I’m glad everyones down. Granny and Papa are here - they brought Uncle Timmy. I have to admit I’ve been avoiding him. I know he means well, but I don’t want any lengthily conversations with him sympathizing with me about my legs. The holiday season isn’t a time when I want to think about my health: I want to sit back and enjoy the time with my family.
Dylan got an Xbox and the look on his face was priceless. I just know I’ll be forced to play with him - and lose. Dylan picks up things far quicker then I do. It would take me ages to figure out how to work that thing. I already played one game with him - which I lost. No surprise there though haha.
I’m looking forward to Christmas dinner. It should be quite the laugh! It always is. I’m really glad we have Karen, Daren and the boys down. It sucks that Joel and Mel couldn’t come down though, maybe next year.
I think my dad thinks I’m mature enough to “drink with the family”. It’s nice that he thinks that - now that I don’t want to. Isn’t it funny how things work out? All the Christmases before this one I was dying for just one sip of whatever they were having. Now it doesn’t really hold my interest at all. Last night after we had dropped Nifty off at home, he started talking about the amount of accidents during the holiday seasons. Then he said “When we get in, I’ll make you a drink.” It was a pineapple drink though, so I didn’t want it. I’m not the kind of person to drink something just because it has alcohol in it. If I don’t like it, I won’t force myself to drink it. I noticed Josephine forcing herself to drink it, even though she didn’t like it either. Poor Jo. She thinks that by drinking it makes her be an “adult” or something. Maybe I’m just a party pooper? Oh well. I already embarrass myself enough as it is without the help of alcohol (like last year, when I went to fetch a present under the tree and fell flat on my face for no apparent reason).
Anyway, yesterday was nice. Nifty and I exhanged gifts. He got me Craniem (I’m not too sure if that’s the spelling, the game is downstairs though and I don’t really feel like going to get it). I can’t wait to play it - everyone promised they would play it with me later on today so yay. His mom got me a shampoo kit filled with Brillant Brunette hair products (which I’ve been wanting to try but have never had the spare cash to buy) and a necklace. I think Nifty liked the gifts I got him. I got him a really nice shirt from Bluenotes that looks adorable on him; a wallet; and a little “love coupon” book. JD and I saw them at the corner store and grabbed them, I thought it was cute. When I walked him into his house later that night to thank his family for their gifts, his younger sister (the 13 year old) grabbed it off him and started reading it out loud. ” ‘A shower for two’, Mom, I think you better confinscate this,” she said…which made me blush really red. I didn’t actually mean to fulfill any of the coupons, I just thought it was cute.
But I’d better go back to visiting instead of blogging. I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and see how everyone else’s day went. So, Merry Christmas guys!!

Christmas Eve!!!
But it really doesn’t feel like it. It sort of does, because we have a bunch of family down, but there’s no snow. Why do people always have to have snow in order for it to feel like Christmas? I like snow on Christmas Eve and Christmas day because it feels like a warm blanket outside (when you’re inside that is, when you’re outside it just feels cold).
The plus side to no snow is that Nifty is aloud to come down today. Well, he would have been aloud to anyway because it’s Christmas Eve and I want him to meet everyone plus give me my Christmas gift and I also want to give him his gifts. I’m nervous though. My family usually has a really good judge of character - Karen and Joel hated Kathrynn’s then-boyfriend, Craig, when they met him last year at Christmas and that didn’t last. Craig turned out to be a complete and total jerk.
That aside, my dad let me have the 30 year old TVs for my room. I don’t know why I wanted it. It doesn’t have a remote, it’s so old it has those dial things and you have to get up to change the channel - but I don’t even get channels down in my room. I mostly wanted it so I could hook up the PS2 to it but I soon found out that 30 year old TVs lack the hookups needed for a PS2. I really wanted to take a picture to show everyone, but my camera seems to have fallen off the face of the earth - so perhaps later, after I’ve found it.
I just remembered something I forgot to mention yesterday. While I was at the mall on Friday, I ran into my Aunt Jane and cousin Danielle. I haven’t seen them in forever - since the wedding actually. Aunt Jane doesn’t like it when Uncle Mark (who is my mom’s brother) talks to us, so he doesn’t and we basically have zero contact with them unless we run into them somewhere. It was awkward. Aunt Jane is really fake, and she wanted me to hug her and give her a kiss - which was very awkward because I hate hugging fake people. Aunt Jane is a little crazy, so I did it before she went all nuts on me and then told Uncle Mark that I snubbed her at the mall.
I bet we won’t even get a Christmas card from them. Well I hope not, because if we do it’s because they are expecting gifts from us. They only seem to want to talk to us around Christmas time because thats when we could potientally get them good stuff. I think mom used to just have huge shopping sprees at the dollarstore.
Anyway, I should go prepare for Nifty coming over. By prepare I mean brush the fuzzy’s off my teeth get all glamoured up.
Oooh yeah, did I mention that I can be found here for some fucked up reason? I signed up ages ago and completely forgot about it. Then I got an email saying I was on it…which is crazy shit. I’m on it twice…try and guess where haha.

Wasn’t That Fun.
I hate shopping. I’m never going again. Not only did it kill my legs, but now I’m in another fight with JD.
We got to the mall around ten, and it was pretty damn crowded. I was able to get all my shopping done because I came knowing what I wanted to get people. Around one, I was worn out from walking around the mall. That’s when Nifty came to finish his shopping, and he was going to just grab the presents and leave. He wasn’t going to be long at all. I went with him to help him out a bit, and I told JD and Josh I’d try and meet up with them later.
I didn’t because after standing in huge lineup after huge lineup, Nifty was getting pissed and wanted to leave. He was also exhausted from working before hand with his dad and he was going to have to stay up for another 24 hours before he could go to sleep (as he works nights). I was really tired of standing and I wanted to leave too. Shopping isn’t always a fun experience for me.
So we left, and JD was - or is - mad because she thinks I ditched her and Josh for Nifty. She wanted to go shopping at a store which I was looking forward to but I really didn’t have the energy to do. I figured she would understand though, and that we could do it another time when the mall wasn’t so busy and when my legs weren’t throbbing.
This was followed by several texting arguements, and in one of them JD said “I hope you have fun with Nifty.” Well I didn’t. I was in a bad mood from that point on, because I thought she would understand. I wasn’t ditching her for Nifty, if anything, I was ditching her for a chair to sit down in at his house. But here I am, blaming everything but my own actions. My actions were this: my legs were killing me, so I left. I’m not blaming my actions because I decided to not push myself anymore, because I knew I would regret it later. Even though I left early, I’m still in a lot of pain today but that’s okay who really cares right? It’s all because I think do nothing wrong, and that I’m always right. I’m sick of having to defend myself anyway.
Anyway, after Nifty and I left the mall and caught a bus back to his town, we went to McDonalds because I was really hungry. Then we went to his house and wrapped some presents and watched a movie with his younger sisters. One of his friends dropped by and stayed until we went to the volunteer dinner, which went alright if anyone was interested in hearing. We had a quiz to see who “new the most about Sunrise”, I didn’t win. I’m not too positive on all the before I was there details and I never really knew you had to know them. I did perfect on the “who am I?” quiz, where you had a small description of a member and had to say who it was. Nifty learned that everyone doesn’t think he’s a horrible volunteer and the note Niki wrote at camp was her telling him he was improving, so he’s going to come out more.
When I got home, Karen and the boys were already here. They have gotten so big! I’m hoping this holiday improves, so far it was off to a bad start but I’m sure that it will get better…hopefully.

I Have a Headache from all this Glue
But it will be worth it, or at least I really hope so. Yes, I’ve spent pretty much all day working on the surprise for Nifty. I hope he thinks it’s cute.
It’s rather funny how Thursday’s work, yet again a couple people have managed to piss me off to the point of screaming and throwing myself on the ground with tears of frustration. Today, while I was walking up the driveway, I kept thinking about what I was going to blog about (yeah, who the fuck does that?? Me, apparently). On the top of my list was Crazy Bus Driver Man, this kid on my bus, and Dumbass Librarian. Then it occured to me that it was Thursday! So yay.
Anyway, FOAD dumbass school librarian, for constantly talking about “your girlfriend”. I couldn’t care less if she makes you clean the cat box, or what you got her for Christmas. I think it’s really fucking weird when a teacher (or creepy older guy for that matter) talks to you about their love life. There is a line and the dumbass school librarian keeps crossing it. Once he even told me that he has to get his record check to make sure he isn’t a “pedophile”. Um, okay? Why would you tell students that? Just do the world a favour and FOAD.
We had yet another “on/off” incident on the bus, and I really think Crazy Bus Driver Man has lost his marbles times a thousand! There’s nothing but lint rolling around up in Crazy Bus Driver Man’s head, he can’t even open the bus door when I want to get on the bus for fucks sake! How hard is it to be a bus driver? You drive, you open the door to let students on and off. It doesn’t take a genius to do - which is why Crazy Bus Driver Man has that job in the first place. So, because Crazy Bus Driver Man is a flamming idiot, he can FOAD.
I literally dislike everyone on my bus (except for Desiree and Jeb). I say FOAD to them all, for being loud, immature little jerks who add to Crazy Bus Driver Man’s confusion by yelling “Oooooooooon? Oooooooooff?” in the same stupid tone as Crazy Bus Driver Man himself, making him think we want it on when we want it off. Not to mention, there’s this one girl who is a complete slut and literally sits on guys laps. She’s been with three different guys (sexually) on my bus. And more at the school. So a very special FOAD to her, for not respecting herself enough to keep her legs closed.
***
Wow, I feel better. For future reference: I am only “mean” to these people because I truly dislike them, not because of outter appearance but because they really are dumbasses. The world would be better off without them. There are already too many idiots in this world. So no hate mail saying I’m hypocritical; for starters I already know this and I’m not being hypocritical here. I just dislike idiots.
Life would be perfect if I could create a town where only people I liked could live, and everytime someone did something mean or pissed me off, I would send them into exile. I would be the mayor of this town. My word would be law.
I’d also be happy if everyone was at least half as smart as I am. That would mean less idiots, and less days of feeling like the only person with a brain.
But anyway, I have a lot to do before I go to JD’s. I’ve gotta clean and all that nasty jazz.

Glogger
Talk about peer persure via blogging. Everyone’s got the new blogger beta, with snazzy new google accounts. I should jump right on board and get myself a glogger account even though I’d rather dig my eyeball out with a rusty spoon! I don’t know about anybody else, but I signed up for blogger. Not something “google-ized.” Not to mention, I’m hesitate to try anything that will slow down my computer. As it is, I have a shitty dialup connection and pages take forever to load. I don’t want to mess around with a good thing. My current blogging arrangement is a good thing. It loads quickly and without any problems. We all know that I am not very fond of problems.
Okay so enough of this glogger thing, because it’s really not all that interesting at all. I think my other blog is coming along smoothly, I’ve got a couple steady readers who tell me it’s good reading. If you haven’t already, then go read it. For me kay? Cause I’m all cute and cuddly and all that.
My cold as ice heart has warmed a little towards my peer helping associate teacher, Mrs. C. Today she gave Rachael and I cards, with a $20 gift certificate for Chapters in them. It was really nice of her, and I feel bad because I didn’t even plan on getting her anything. I don’t have money to spare, or I would. I really would, because thats a nice gesture of her. Chapters is one of my favourite stores and I’m really excited.
One more school day! Then it’s The Big Shopping Experience with JD and Josh! We will now later be joined by Nifty and one of his friends, which is good and bad at the same time. It’s good because it will be really fun and it’s bad because I’m also buying the rest of Nifty’s Christmas present and I don’t want him having the slightest clue as to what it could be. I’ve also started my “Secret Project” for Nifty. It’s a little gift that I hope will be finished in time for his birthday. I can’t give any hints as to what it is because he might stumble upon this pathetic blog and read it and then the surprise will be ruined.
I can’t wait for the holiday’s to begin. School has been so stressful for me lately and I could use a couple weeks of sitting around doing nothing. Actually, I’ll probably be working on my English I.S.U the entire time but still. It will be nice to not have to get up at 7 a.m everyday and go to that hell hole we call school. I hate the drama, and I hate the fact that everyone finds fault with everyone else. It’s stupid, why can’t everyone just get along? Or at least keep their mouths shut?
I’m referring to an incident that happened today at lunch. I’m friends with two groups of people, right? There’s Kyla, and Caitlin with one group and Chelsee, JD, their boyfriends, and Kiley in another. I mostly hang out with Chelsee and JD because Kyla and Caitlin hang out with a couple of people I don’t really know now and they do their own thing. Well anyway, today Kiley got up to go into the lunchroom and Caitlin said something really mean regarding Kiley’s weight and how it was disgusting. We all [except Kiley] heard, and Chelsee - who doesn’t really stand for anybody’s shit but expects everyone to stand for her shit - wasn’t pleased. She loudly stated how rude and inappropiate that comment was.
I love Caitlin, she can be a real sweet heart - but I agree with Chelsee. Comments like that are uncalled for. I don’t see why some people always have to rudely and carelessly point out flaws of the people they don’t like. Everyone does it - even me (although not recently) - and I don’t know why it just can’t stop. Now those two groups of my friends are pissed at each other, Caitlin thinks Chelsee’s a bitch. But it was just as bitchy to make a comment like that about someone’s weight. Even if you don’t like the person, you shouldn’t say mean things like that. I really don’t think that “being fat” is a “disgusting” thing, and I think it’s really low when people are made fun of because of their weight. I know some people who find fault with really skinny people, I know I was called anorexic. It’s like the world is never happy with who you are, so how can you be happy with who you are? It’s a never ending circle of hate and judgement.

I Feel Violated
So according to my high school librarian, he can view whatever pages I go onto if I’m using the school computers. I was on gmail talking to Karen and he told me he was going to go on his computer so that he could read my emails. Not only can he read my emails, but this also means that he’s most likely read my blog. I feel violated. I’m contemplating changing the URL but I won’t because people know where to find me.
Anyway, Karen and the boys are coming down this Friday [or Saturday]! I’m so excited!! I haven’t seen them since the summer and it will be our first Christmas with Karen since like forever! I finally have some sort of clue as to what I’m going to get the boys, thanks to Karen’s suggestions.
JD and I have planned a really fun Christmas shopping trip for Friday. We’re going to skip school and take a bus to the mall, where we will spend all day shopping for our loved ones. It will be fun because we won’t be in any hurry at all, and we always make things like that fun. We also really need to update our photobooth pictures. The last time we got some, we both looked like shit. Me more then she did, but a new one is in order.
I really, really can’t wait for the holiday’s to begin! And for Friday to get here, so I can go Christmas shopping!
