Neglect

2010-10-11T11:10:00.003-04:00

Okay, it's usesless to deny it. All of the effort (ha!) that I used to put into this blog is now going here:ElectricJuiceBox v2.0It's mostly me posting pictures and links that I find on the internet, but there's a teensy bit of text here and there. I guess I like it because there's less pressure to write stuff. Anyway, I'm not officially abandoning this blog, but... yeah. Okay.

THE INSOMNIA CHRONICLES, PART I.

August 30, 2010 (OMG MY BLOG TEMPLATE DOESN'T SAY DAYS) THE INSOMNIA CHRONICLES, PART I. or, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. SO. It's currently 2:18 in the morning on Monday, August the 30th, and I'm still awake. In fact, I haven't felt tired, or anything of the sort, for about four hours. Also, as I type I am experiencing a kind of energetic happiness and hyperactivity for no reason at all. Thus, I plan

Hi. No excuses as to why I've been neglecting this so long, just that I suck. :) Sorry! Now that thaaaaat's over, here's some stuff I've been doing this summer.Staffing at a Boy Scout Camp for 11 days: amazing. I loooooved it. I was on the rappelling tower, which meant that I got to belay/help kids down the wall, and I have to admit that it was rewarding when the scared little kid finally

So because it's barely crossed my mind to start typing up an account of Beach Jam (which was amazing), I figured that I've neglected this blog for long enough and that I should just dive in with something completely unrelated to anything... ignoring the fact that my hands hurt and I should be making exam notes or responding to an email or MAKING EXAM NOTES and not watching Gilmore Girls or, I

Since I'm completely loaded down with homework tonight (I'm going to New Jersey on Thursday to camp on the beach! I don't have enough time to explain but I'll write about it sometime next week when I'm back) and I don't have time to write a real post about an actual topic, I present to you what I like to call me pasting song lyrics into the box and posting it, how lame.

Hello! So I'm supposed to be translating sentences about important events in the 1960's into French to use it on a project that I should already be way further in than I actually am, and thus I decided to write a blog post for no reason at all.

It decided to wedge itself in my brain and stay there all day, which was fine with me. I've been

I feel like I haven't posted in too long and English homework is overrated, so here's some rambling.Song I've been playing a lot over the past two days: Kill - Jimmy Eat World. I keep playing it really loudly and just listening to the words, because that's the kind of mood I'm in with this song right now. I love the lyrics.Another one that I started listening to on repeat is Substitution, by

So, today, being approximately half way through the semester, is our first day of careers. Civics class was okay, pretty easy and occasionally slightly interesting. After you finished answering textbook questions he'd let you play games or do whatever you want, which was nice. Anyway. Careers.

So my iTunes library was on shuffle, as usual, and I was listening to music in class. Still am, but that's not the point. Anyway, my library shuffles to a song called The Second Time by someone/something called Carolyn Mark & NQ Arbuckle. I've never heard of these people before. I don't know how this song got onto my laptop. I've never heard the song before, and it's not from any of the

I haven't posted in too long, as per usual. Oh well. One thing, though - tomorrow is my birthday! That exclamation mark was a little bit misleading, because I'm really not that excited about it. I rarely am... Events don't usually 'sink in' until they're happening or over. Anyway, there will probably be some sort of cake involved so it's all good :)And I really don't have anything to say.

So, I spend way too much time on the internet doing random things, and I find some cool stuff. And since sending my friends links sometimes gets old, and sometimes they don't appreciate the awesomeness, I'm going to post stuff here. Since I can only think of a couple of specific things right now, this is probably going to be a shortish list... also, I'm in French class* and should probably be

Because I... want to, here are some songs I've liked lately. Muse - Resistance This song may or may not be about George Orwell's Nineteen-Eighty-Four, which I hope it is because that's awesome. There's a thought police reference, at least. I really like it but I don't have much to say because OMG you know the part at the very beginning of the chorus? The melody thing that goes up into it,

I don't really know why I do this, but I tend to expect the worst in uncertain situations. Granted, I don't do it all the time, but it happens enough to be a bad habit. Something will happen and I'll begin to think of the worst-case scenario and then start to worry that somehow by thinking about it I'll make it happen by accident and screw things up. Then I'll try to think positively but the

How I Spent Some of my March Break

2010-03-23T17:11:00.000-04:00

I deleted the blurb I put at the beginning of this post but the bottom line was that Working Class Hero (John Lennon) is an awesome (for lack of a better word) song and you should go listen to it. Ooh, also: you don't have to read this (or any of the blog, really, but let's not go into that). It's mostly so I can have some motivation to write down what happens in my life before I forget. I

Something I thought yesterday...

2010-03-23T09:14:00.000-04:00

Just thought I'd put that out there.

Because I'd rather not be doing science homework (should blog post titles have capitalized words?)

2010-03-21T14:08:00.000-04:00

Drinking tea, listening to The Guess Who as I procrastinate on practicing violin and slowly make my way through science notes (optics, yay. not.)... I'm content. It's nice. For lack of anything to say - I have two half-finished posts I'm still working on - here are some pictures I took a couple of months ago.

Since it's the last day before March Break (which totally deserves those capitals), our science teacher let us watch an episode of Bill Nye the Science Guy in class! I don't know if Bill Nye is a Canadian thing (I doubt it) or just a 90's kid thing, but everyone remembers it from elementary school science class, where it was the best educational video series EVER. And to be honest, I think I'm

It fits the mood of the beauteous weather pretty well, though) So it’s another Gorgeous (with a capital G*) day outside!

So I slept over at my friend's house last night after watching Alice in Wonderland*, which was a lot of fun. We talked about music, went to Wal-Mart at 10pm to get extra buttery popcorn and muffin mix**. Then, after wasting lots of time and watching Gossip Girl (which I'd never seen before but enjoyed), we decided to make muffins. At four in the morning. Also, we decided that the double-chocolate

It's PURDAYYYYYYYY :) Only problem is that I feel more pressure to actually write things that are meaningful/interesting/have an actual purpose. We'll see how that goes.

So Canada is hosting the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, which I'm sure everyone already knows. If you don't already know, get off the internet and go turn on the TV. Please. Anyway, I remember the last winter Olympics

You might be on this list, you might not, you might not know who I'm talking about, you might be able to figure some of these out, you might take offense to one that you think is about you but not. You might be able to tell if any of these are about you. For the sake of my

***I'll fix this post later, sorry the pictures are small and whatever.***http:/www.mylifeisaverage.com/This site has been amusing me for 20 minutes straight. Usually things like Lmylife or MyLifeIsGare just stupid knockoffs of Fmylife, but this one is turning out to be surprisingly awesome.*As I linked to Fmylife.com, I got distracted and looked through 3 pages of recent FML's. Wow.*Anyway, it's

I would just like to say that I hardly think 8:30 AM is an acceptable sleep-in time, Mom and Dad. Sooooo not impressed.

This year my school is putting on a musical called Back To The Eighties. I don't know what it's about except for the fact that there will be lots of 80's music. Anyway, I was going to audition for it and auditions were the 2nd, 3rd and 4th days of school, the last day being today. So after trying to find a song to perform at 9:30 PM and completely ignoring the one-minute monologue that I was

A short conversation I had today:"It's kind of funny how there are more weeds than grass here.""Yeah, that's our school for you."

this night's a perfect shade of dark blue.

song i've been listening to on repeat while doing the papers this evening:Dark Blue - Jack's MannequinI got this song off of my friend's computer and just recently remembered it. At the moment, me likey. Me likey very much. Mmmm :) (lyrics)Grr. My iTunes won't open. I don't know why. Nothing else to say at the moment, because I forgot whatever it was that I wanted to blog about initially. Toodles

I was mooching a stray pepperoni slice off of one of the pizzas in the kitchen when I realized... Someone should design bacon - flavoured lip gloss. Mmm.

hello again

2009-09-08T17:23:00.000-04:00

i figured i should probably write a blog post again. i have things to say, but i have absolutely no desire to write and post stuff. what can i say? i'm lazy. also, i'm just going to point out that even though i'm a bit of a grammar nazi, sometimes i neglect proper capitalization on words. if that makes me a hypocrite, then so be it. sometimes it feels like too much work and it doesn't bother me

My sister has a blog! http://ratlets.blogspot.com/I was sitting on my bedroom floor gluing pieces of paper to a blank notebook while she was asking me frantic questions about how to set up her blog and stuff and I was not really listening to her or helping, which was kind of amusing. Anyway, her blog is called Zipper & Sesame and it's about our rats. Woo. Summer weekends aren't as fun as summer

Just a thought...

Reading The Hunger Games before trying to sleep wasn't such a great idea. I'm not sure if I was having bad dreams that I kept waking up from, or just scary thoughts that kept me from falling asleep. Either way, it was a really good book and I need to get my hands on the second one. Fast. Which might pose a bit of a problem, because they only have the audiobook at the local library and I don't

Let's talk about music, shall we?I actually feel a bit pretentious whenever I try to blog about music I like, because it seems a bit like I'm going, "this is a song I like. If you don't like it you suck and have a terrible taste in music and should go die in a hole. My word is law and I won't listen to anyone else." Which, I would like to point out, I'm not trying to do. But this is my blog so

- technically, my day's not over yet. but this is how it's gone so far. - Stuff I did today. For the record, I didn't actually leave Lappy (my laptop has a name, yes. if you have a problem with that, you can go die. ..just kidding. hehe.) by the baking stuff, I just put him there for the picture. I wouldn't risk getting chocolate cake batter all over the shiny white preciousness that is

NO WAIT i don't think it was a vector. i don't know wtf it's called. whatever. a thing. i spent a good hour and a half at least last night trying to create a vector image on GIMP, and it was going really well. What i didn't realize is that I saved it as a JPEG and now when I open it all of my separate layers are compressed into the single image. Ohmygodddd. That's so incredibly frustrating I

Someone I know forwarded me an email today. This is what it said:"Hi, my name is Amy Bruce. I am 7 years old, and I have severe lung cancer from second hand smoke.

I have to unload/load the dishwasher, clean up the mess I made in the kitchen while making lunch*, and practice violin within the half an hour before my mom gets home. The fact that practicing violin takes thirty minutes at least is not a good sign. Nor is the fact that all I want to do is crank up the AC and lie on the couch, listening to VLR podcasts and play my sister's Pop Cutie DS game (I'm

wasting my time on web riddles

2009-08-12T18:37:00.000-04:00

Online riddles are pretty cool. A friend showed me this one awhile ago, and I think I got to about level 10 or so at the time before becoming hopelessly stuck and then forgetting about it altogether.However, I found THIS IS NOT TOM DOT COM and, with the help of Google and several online forums, got as far as the third riddle. And then I got stuck and decided that it was too hard, and started

YouTube

2009-08-12T00:31:00.000-04:00

So lately I've been kinda sorta addicted to watching YouTube videos, especially vlogs (video blogs, to those of you who don't know). I don't really know exactly where it started, but I found someone's channel and started watching their videos, and eventually browsed through a lot of related videos and stuff.People I've Been Watching:

OMGI was upstairs sewing and listening to the Thursday 30 on The Edge, and I went downstairs to grab my laptop. I was gone maybe two minutes or so, and when I got back up all I heard the dude say was, "illScarlett's new single Take It For Granted off their new album out September whatever..."I can't believe that they played the new single from one of my favourite bands during the two minutes that

Tonight I saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen with my dad and sister. I’m writing this pretty much immediately after I got home, because I wanted to talk about it and I didn’t want to forget anything. WARNING – THERE ARE PROBABLY SOME SPOILERS IN HERE. Okay, here we go. Likes: - They played Green Day and Linkin Park music. That made me happy. :) I don’t remember if

2009-08-04T17:00:00.000-04:00

Apparently there's a severe thunderstorm warning for the area I live in. Sweet. I love rain, and thunderstorms are awesome. Well, for lack of a better word, that is. Either way I like 'em.Rainy weather makes me want to write, and I don't know why. I'm actually feeling kinda rejected and alone right now. (It's probably all in my head. It often is.) But I just called my grandma and it cheered me up
