HEY GUYS!

currently, i'm posting from my media arts class.
we're doing something that i've finished so i have free time right now.
yay.

right now the formatting page is all crazay, and it's rather annoying.

karolina's right beside me and zac is across from me. he looks like he's concentrating really hard but i think he might be pretending. or playing a game.

anyways.

it's been too long!

sarry bou that.

i've been busy. and distracted/distracting.
i joined the school play and the volleyball team and the fashion show.

and i've been doing my homework.

and i got my first report card w00t.

and i should tell you the story of the RICK MERCER PHOTO CHALLENGE *epic echo*

me and karolina entered the rick mercer photo challenge.
our entry was a tad offensive...
but it was funny.

karolina's playing on mystery google.
she got some dude's email address.

and some random letters.
zac has disappeared behind his computer.

how was everyone's halloweens?
and are you excited for the upcoming holidays?

anyways, i'll try to get all up here sooner, and more often.

s.

heya!

how's everyone doing?
so school is still going pretty goooood.
i'm starting film on monday which is EXCITING!
history = craploads of homework!

but i'm starting a mural at schoolios with melissa and kristina, which is funnies. it's of a whale, and inside the whale is a city skyline and the sun is represented by the heart of the whale which is like hanging from the ceiling of the whale. it's kind of creepy, yes, but it's still fun to paint.

english = an amazing class.
my teacher is an absolutely amazing one, which i think definitely contributes to the enjoyment of the class. like last year, i dreaded eng. because i didn't really like my teacher that much. but this year, even with shakespeare, i am thouroughly enjoying it! which is good.

media arts is exiting, except so i haven't learned that much that's new. i'm super excited for monday because that's when i get to start my film class part of it and we get to make movies! yays.

anyways.
afn,
s.

Hey guys,

So first week of school = awesome.
Totally awesome.
Here are reasons for awesomeness
1. Media arts teacher gives us 15 minutes at the end of every class to do whatever we want. Including going and bothering our previous teachers who are across the hall.
2. Media arts subject material = super awesome
3. English teacher looks like a wizard and speaks like one too.
4. History teacher makes the worst jokes ever. No one laughs, but it's funny how funny he thinks he is.
5. Science teacher. Don't think he knows anything about science, but he acts like he does. A recipe for funny.
6. Lockers are in the perfect place.
7. Potassium/Sodium explosions.

anyways. that's what's going down over at my school.

Hey guys!

So yesterday I got my new computer, which I have named BenHur. (because my computer is an awesome chariot-racer)

Anyways, school starts on tuesday so I am preparing for that. I`m excited to start again, but at the same time I`m not sure I`m ready for it. It turns out my schedule needs some rearranging as I need to have my grade ten math for grade eleven physics, so I`m hoping to have that switched with history.

I also found out that I have eight exams this year!!! Twice as many as I had last year.

I`ll let you know how the first day back goes :)

hey guys!

so i am headed out to the new hp in about and hour and twenty minutays.
...

i let you know how that goes.


anyways.
i don't really have anything else going on..


ATM.
mood: excited!
the clock says: 7.42pm
i'd rather be: with you!
the weather is: sunny-ish
my favorite song is: Smooth Criminal - Michael Jackson
i am wearing: purple slacks, brown leaf print button-up, vintage dad tee, vintage beige belt, vintage peacock scarf, glads.
i can hear: I Can't Help It - Michael Jackson
the last movie i watched was: part of the Pink Panther 2
my hair is: kinked and halfback.
i should be doing: ..probably nothing.

OH
i found a tv show that i am ashamed to say that i've fallen in love with..
The Secret Life of the American Teenager...

it's abou a bunch of sex-crazed teens.
and there's two kids, both fifteen and are in love.
seriously. who falls in love at fifteen?
if you ask me i think it absofruitly prepsterous, but i suppose anything's possible.
anyways, it's a little lame and corny, and the acting isn't all that great, but i think that's why i like it..
because it's kind of an escape to a different teenage world outside of my own, which is something that i seem to be continually seeking...

anyways.
i've gotten a head start on my IB reading for english class next year!
i know that sounds kind of nerdy, but i figure since next year i actually start some of my IB courses, i should get a little head start..(and i'm going to nned it. i've heard that i've good english teachers, but if i don't, i am going to HATE english again.)
anyways, my grade 10 english course requires me to read Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel. It wasn't as bad as the book i had to read this year (Cry, The Beloved Country by Alan Paton). In fact it was rather interesting...anyways the one for grade eleven english is The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende, which i've just begun and it's rather dull. but my sister tells me it's good.

i'm soo excited for gr11 media arts next year! i'm so glad my guidance counsellor allowed me to skip grade ten, because i already know all of that stuff, and the grade eleven course also has a film production bit, as well as character animation.
i'm really excited for the film production though. i'dreally love to be able to go in to something to do with film, but i really enjoy art as well... and music.. i think directing music videos would be fun, because it would combine film and music..

or maybe being a hairdresser or a clothing stylist or maybe even a makeup artist..

anyways.
all for now,

s.

HOOEY.

sorry it's been so long!
as the summer goes on i find it incresingly difficult to find things to talk about..

um...

i've developed a sort of obsession with MJ's music, methinks.
i had never really listened to it before he died, which is not something i'm extremely proud of..

and it's super hot out today! 29 degrees (C) ... it's boiling! (for canada...we'll probably get some sort of heat warning thing or something). It's lovely and sunny as well, so it's very nice to go take walks and such, but when i do it makes me pant nearly as much as my dog when she pulls on her collar too hard and it sort of strangles her a little bit.

i've FINALLY started physiotherapy! i don't know if i've mentioned this before, but for about the past year i've been getting these silly knees pains that are very annoying..they tend to crop up at the most annoying times (like in the shower, or when i'm going up the stairs). i've finally made it to a physiotherapist, and she hasn't quite told me what's going on with me, but i overheard her muttering to the student physioist that it was something to do with my knee joints, which totally contradicts what my regular doctor and my sports medicine doctor told me. anyhow, she gave me these exercises to fix the tracking of my knees and to lengthen my achilles tendons and my quads (which are apparently too short for my height).

i'm painting again, finally! most of my projects had juts sort of been put on hold for a while while i went through this kind of depression...i didn't feel like doing anything so all i did was eat and sleep and listen to sad emo music :( but i'm all better now! (i must say that i attribute my recovery to lots and lots of friends episodes and visiting my friend sydney twice in one week...and brownies.) i've started up the clock again and i'll get a picture as soon as it's done.. i've also finished two painting in my first series, but i've yet to decide what to call the series ( i have two more to do in that one) and i've started a painting of an apple, but i didn't get much farther than a green circle on the canvas.

i'm also redoing my room! i've cleaning out all the old junk that i never really use anymore, and i've vacuumed and stuff. i'm going to go pick out paint colours soon, and we'll be redoing the floor as well. i think lexie is going to help me paint my room, so it should be fun once we get started...

oh.
my gosh.


i can't believe Michael Jackson is GONE!


this sucks.
and i know this is a little late, but my compy's been down for a few days and hasn't let me access my eljay.


but anyways, he was like, the most famous person in the world.
he was bigger than the beatles, than elvis...i mean seriously.
he will be missed.


anyways. list of things i need to do this summah:

1. clean out my closet/get rid of all the junk in my room.
2. go see the next harry potter movie
3. start going to the gym again
4. art lessons.
5. figure out my camera
6. COMPUTER!!

so that's basically....(not really. i have about FIVE BAJILLION things i need to do, but these ones take the top sleven places.)

thanks for listening,
s.

So I had my English exam today. It was pretty darn easy. I have my math exam on monday, and I'm not quite sure what to expect. I got an okay mark in math overall in the semester, but I don't really remember half the crap we did at the beginning of the year...

Anyways. I already wish that school would start again, and I haven't even finished all of my exams! I'm a nerd.
Actually that reminds me, the other day one of my friends called me an "art nerd". What the heck is that supposed to mean?

....

I miss my friends already.
I can't wait for media arts next year! I just hope that Karolina is in my class because I don't want to be in that class alone with all the scary grade elevens...
But I'll have a locker on the third floor which is kind of nice because that's the least busy floor. Meaning it's nice and quiet most of the time. It's also the photography floor which means we'll get to hang out with all the photography kids :)

I can heard my sister playing a video downstairs. I wonder what it is.

ATM.
mood: ....
the clock says: 7.48pm
i'd rather be: in the future.
the weather is: i can't tell
my favorite song is: i've rather tuned out of my music recently.
i am wearing: purple jeans, tally shirt and peacock scarf.
i can hear: a video my sister is playing downstairs.
the last movie i watched was: i don't remember
my hair is: up in a zuzia
i should be doing: math review

maybe that's not a movie. i think someone might actually be downstairs.

so today was the last day of my first year of highschool.
i am SO psyched for next year man.
i got to check my schedule early and this is what's goin down:

SEM ONE
period a - grade 11 media arts
period b - grade 10 english
period d - grade 10 history
period e - grade 10 science

SEM TWO
period a - grade 11 physics
period b - grade 11 english
period d - grade 10 math
period e - grade 10 french

soooo three grade eleven courses all up in there.
exciting stuffs!

ANYWAYS.

i was not expecting to enjoy myself at this highschool, because it was a different school from all my old friends. but i actually had quite a good year and am sad to have ended it. but it ended on a good note. and i cannot WAIT for grade eleven. IB ART HERE I COME!

all for now,

s.

hey guyses,
how's it going?



so far infectious material is going well.
i skipped all my classes on friday to hang out at the show..
it was fun.








i went record shopping today!
it's for father's day : )
It was awesome.
i got some Electric Light Orchestra, Robert Palmer, Bee Gees and the Guess Who.


i'm testing them right now because they didn't let us at the store (considering they were only about a buck each..)
anyways, the downtown is rife with thrift/secondhand stores which made it a pretty cool place to shop, other than the fact that it's super shady and there are creepy people everywhere...


anyways, my school year is almost overrrr!
i have my first exam on the coming friday (english), and i have my second on the monday after that (math), and then i'll be done!


my dog is really annoying me.
my sister is making her bark and i can't hear the records.
anyways.


all for now,


s.

How come he don't come and P.I.P. with me
Down at the meter no more?
And how come he turn(ed) off the t.v.
And hang(ed) that sign on the door?
Well we call and we call "How come?" we say
Hey what could make a boy behave this-a way, yeah?
And he learn(ed) all of the lines, now, and every time
He gonna s-stutter when he talks
And it's true! It's true! He sure has acquired this kinda cool and inspired sorta jazz when he walk(s)
Where's his jacket and his old blue jeans,
If this ain't healthy it is some kinda clean

That means Chuck E's in love

I don't believe what you're saying to me
This is something I got to see. Is he here?
I look in the poolhall. Is he here?
I look in the drugstore. Is he here?
No, he don't come here no more

Well I'll tell you what, I saw him
He was sittin' behind us down at the Pantages
And whatever is that he's got up his sleeve
I hope it isn't contagious
What's her name? Is that her there?
Oh Christ, I think he's even combed his hair!
And is that her? Well then what's her name?
Oh, it's never gonna be same.
That's not her
I know what's wrong
'Cause Chuck E's in love with the little girl singing this song
Don't you know
Chuck E's in love, Chuck E's in love
Chuck E's in love, Chuck E's in love ...
Chuck E's in love with me

JUNEFEST TOMORROW YO
DURING PERIOD B AND LUNCH
BRING MONEY AND BE READY TO HAVE A GOOD TIME

and,

Infectious Material: Raw Cameron Art is going on in b119 (fallaise's room) on June 12th, 15th, 16th, 17th ALL DAY!
Be there and support the Cameron Heights Arts Program!

ATM.
mood: content, but with a touch of gloominess.
the clock says: 7.16pm
i'd rather be: outside.
the weather is: rainy :)
my favorite song is: Stronger than Jesus - A Camp
i am wearing: beige shorts, insideout bluevale jersey, blue blazer.
i can hear: someone getting something out of the kitchen.
the last movie i watched was: bottleshock. but i just finished season three of the x.files?
my hair is: fro.
i should be doing: nothing.

today is a rather dreary day for most because of the rain. actually, a rather dreary week. we've had a ton of rain all week, but i love it :) it's kept us from playing lacrosse in gym class though, which sucks because i really really want to try playing again (was too late to sign up this season...perhaps weight training/rowing prep?).

i absolutely love the rain.
is that weird?
it's amazing, so peaceful. and it's so nice when you wake up in the morning and you can hear the rain hitting the roof.
isn't it nice?
i think we should re-think the pathetic fallacies associated with the rain.

WELL WOULD YA LOOKEY HERE
karolina got an eljay.

yeah..

anyways, new songs coming to f&o sooner than later hopefully.
i've written like 4857604325632067436534875 and i have a tune for a few of them.
karo's also written some.

yeah..

right now, i don't really have too much to talk about.
except.
i found a new musician lady/girl/band/person!

her name is A Camp.
and if you are strongly religious i would NOT recommend her.

I do believe Bob Seger said it right when he said:

"Today music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock n roll."

So today is a beauty day out.
Gawgeous.
It's about 34degrees or summink of these sorts.
