["Fly birdie fly!!"]

Today was thee day for lazing around the house in PJs. But nooOOooo Sam makes me go to school on a Pro-D Day. Ahh so he phones me up at 11 ish and he tells me to come to school to film the "Turkey Day" commercial. He wanted to do a commercial for Thanksgiving. At first I thought he wasn't being serious so I carried on my day, went biking with Joey. When I got home, he phoned again. So I had to go over to school. Jenny, Krissy and Alex were already there and I was feeling so out of it. He actually had food and drinks and somehow found plates and utensils. Then they told me he bought a whole chicken. Cept.....it was raw. I was like... you bought... a raw... chicken. Why on earth.. would you buy a raw chicken... Lol it was just so unbelievable. They ended up returning the chicken to Nesters and getting a ROASTED one from Superstore. Took us forever to finally get it done.. a grand total of 3 and a half hours. Hopefully it won't be like the first thing we did. Man, we really need to get the main report done. That's the thing we have to film, not the commercials.. "commercials".. Lol.. well... I guess it was pretty amusing. Hah better than lazing around at home with nothing to do.

[When I wanted sunshine I got rain]

So school happened. Woke up to a not so sunshiney day. It wasn't very pleasant outside. The rain makes me feel icky. I want it to be sunny but extremely cold. Now that's a beautiful day...cool crisp air.

We made plans to go watch Corpse Bride. Grr I hate planning things. Especially when you wanna get a whole group together to do something. So very frustrating when people don't give you definite answers. Well it's been a week since it came out so we figured today would be a good day to go. Simran's mom drove us over to Troy's where we met Brandon and it was some walk over to the theatres where we find that it's not open. !!!! There was no one around at all and the sign said it only opened at 6:30. Grr? Well that was too late so we went to this Vietnamese restaurant instead. Followed by Tim Hortons right after. Man those guys can eat. Noodles, coffee, donuts? In the end we headed back to Troy's place to hang out for a bit. Typical way to end a week eh? Hanging out.

My head's been killing me and my throat feels funny. That ain't cool. Keeping my fingers crossed and hope I'm not coming down with something. =S!!!

[There's a monster. Living under my bed. Whispering in my ear]

First off... HAPPY SWEET 16 KRISSY!

We have to do a taste testing survey on Monday for marketing. Helen and I ended up picking cheese. I wanted it to be something unique. Ah well. Cheese it is.

In E.S we're making these "sedimentary rocks". Well Milross said we were gonna make sedimentary rock. We got these lil ketchup cups and poured bits of gravel in it. And he's gonna pour liquid glass in it.. Something like that. Some silicate thing. Pretty spiffy haha.

We had to copy these notes of a river flowing into the ocean and Milross drew this lil fuzzy thing in the water with a circle pulling it down. Lmao it was a CAT with a rock tied to its foot!! Shows how much he hates cats XD. He told us about how he used to have cats and how they died.

So we did some review in groups of 3. Circled round a piece of paper with questions and an envelope of numbers to pick from. I was with Shaw and Kristy. Lol "What is a mineral?"... "Em... a pure substance" Answer? An inorganic material found in the earth from cooled magma? Cept it was something a lot weirder than that. Anyhoo..Chryven and I were making paper frogs lol and Joel was so facinated by it. He kept making it jump while Milross was explaining stuff. Lmao Milross grabs the frog and throws it in the garbage. And Joels just like O_O. Ahh.. mm we played this trivia game after. Twas fun. If only every other class was like that.

On my way home, I bumped into Jase and the guys. They were on their way to get pizza and Jack asked me to come. So I hung out with them for a bit, had some pizza, caught up with them haha. Ah we used to go for pizza after badminton last season. Those were the days !!.. One time, we got I think.. 5 pizzas. Jensen and Alex finished 2 whole medium pizzas by themselves. I asked what the occasion was. Jason made a deal with I think it was Tom and Jensen that whoever lost to the other team during the Terry Fox Run, would have to get pizza. Yea and I got 2 slices for taking pictures haha =P [Thanks Jason!!!]

I had to go for family pics today. Thought it was gonna be go there 5 minutes *snap snap snap* and done. But when we got to Erma the photographer dude.. omg.. all you could hear was "Look at my funny nose!!!.. Say MONEY.. Say we're going shopping with Daddy's credit card!!" Lol..Makes me rethink wanting to be a photographer. I think I'll stick to taking pictures of inanimate objects. Haha FRUIT.

[And in the night.You are my dream]

...Where do we go from here. The words are coming out all weird where are you now. When I need you...

Well I typed 2 paragraphs. But I figured after that it was pointless to have it up here. So I leave it as this.

["I told you Dead Hula Girl was a better idea"]

Joey's gonna be a ghost for Halloween.

[25th Terry Fox Run -- A week delayed]

So today was like any other day. I'm beginning to wonder why I do this. Anyhoo.. Got outta English to meet Sam and Lily so we can walk up to Fraser Woods to film and get pictures of people running/jogging/walking/skipping the Terry Fox run. It was pretty nice out. The air was chilly but the sun was shining. After walking up to mid-point, it started to get really warm. So yea, the same old dealy. Troy decided he'd come join us. Him and his camera. lol. Ah I can't wait for photography next semester. That's gonna be a fun course.

Well when we came back, they had Firehawk Friday events. Buncha relays.. pie eating contest. Same old same old. How would I rate my school's spirit? Sad? Naw.. So student council attempts to get the crowd cheering and what not. How? By throwing out candy and watching people swarm. I swear.. It's exactly like throwing bread into a pond of fish. Something hits the water and makes a ripple, fish rush to the food and once it's gone or if they've discovered there wasn't food at all, they slowly move away and all is calm once again. I mean.. you see this kid throwing his friend to the ground. Over what? A piece of chocolate?

Yea.. one final thing. Simran is cool. Lmao Sim... We be tight? Haha so here's my story. We were talking and both of us had the same thing in mind at the exact same time and she's one person I got to know in like.. a week.. or maybe even a few days. 3 days.. crazy~.. yes.. I'll stop now..

[Cheese?!!?]

Haha, yea Diane got her braces off. So fast. It's been 2 years since she had them put on. Ah I still remember when she just got them. She had to eat chicken noodle soup for the longest time. Then she had to use them elastics, more complaints. Now she's got a slur. =P Sheee shlells shlee shlells by the sea shlaw.

Well today was Western Wednesday. Darn I shoulda worn a bandanna. Our school doesn't have much spirit anymore. And all the events are the same. What did they have today.. Mm they taped horses' heads to hockey sticks and the guys had to "ride" to the stage, pick up a girl and jump onto the bench at the end. And they slowly get eliminated until there is only one girl left. Mm then they had line dancing, the usual, PE dances. I hung with Simran and Amy. Then Jimmy came by. Grr I still have so many songs to download. Troy gave me this huge list of songs and Simran introduces all these songs one by one each time I talk to her. Limewire just won't connect properly!!

We took a "rock walk" in science. Lmao.. yea we went on a field trip OUTSIDE class! Yea we went to look at those 2 boulders infront of the school. Funny, now that I'm in earth science, you notice so much more than you would have before. Those 2 boulders were just rocks I walked by everyday after school. Never took a close look at it or wondered how it got there or anything. Well it was really nice out, kinda chilly, but the sky's so nice and clear. We had to present our minerals today, "Mineral Mad Minute". Ugh as much as I hate presenting, it was pretty interesting. Lol I don't think Marcus had his assignment done. So he goes up and says something like "My mineral is Marcite. You can find it in my backyard and on the moon. And what makes it bizarre is that only I can see it." Joel bursts out laughing lol.

Mm tomorrow, double english, double textiles. O yea, they showed the "Grade 12 Vaccination AD and intro to FHN" today. It was so sad. The people in my marketing class were like.. what is that supposed to be. A buncha clips and sound effects. Well, put together in 2 hours.[lol good job Lilo, I'll stick around next time! =)]

[Imperfection, no?]

Tropical Tuesday. Not so tropical, it was cold this morning. In fact, it was freezing. It took me a while to get outta bed, nice cozy warm bed..mmm. But the stupid buzzer *ack ack ack ack*. Grr~

Mm I finished all my marketing work, thank god. That class is so boring. Not having anyone in there I'm familiar with makes it worse. Mm there's Jen's cousin, but I don't talk to her much. Every now and then when there's just something we REALLY don't understand, we turn to each other.

Something bout this year's different. In English and Earth Science, Koch and Milross both believe that we should study in an environment where you feel safe. Where you know no one's going to mock or criticize you. Why is it there's never been a teacher who's been like that before? Or is it just my classes? Wouldn't there be more unwanted comments in class, in earlier grades? Woulda thought people would feel safer in class as you get into older grades. Even though, I still get nervous when having to answer a question or explain something. Lol Milross makes it easier somehow though.

There were more people dressed up today. I didn't get any pictures tho =(. Sam gave me the camera at lunch so, that's what I was doing. They had a pizza eating contest, hula hoop contest, and...limbo. Same old same old. They should do something different. I managed to get an "interview" done. Trevor decided to come by and bug me so I asked him why he dressed up in whatever he wore today and why it's not tropical. Lol Well he was happy that he got on tape and I got footage so..cool..lol..Well lunch came, lunch went. Ugh, there are soooo many people in school. It's unbelievable. Everywhere you look, it's just people... little people. lol..Not that I'm that tall or big =P.

Earth Science, Textiles...Jen and I were out in the hall pinning our fabric. Ugh.. woulda been great if someone had told me I had to pin the arrow in the middle first. I pinned it all and I swear my thumb's got a hole in it now. Well Ms Krishnan came out and she went on and on about how I gotta pin this and that..Uh huh. I got to talk to Ms Macrae and Mr Van Vugt. They still remember me =P! O yea and Jethro was down there as well. So yea, I talked for him for a while. Lol when Ms Krishnan was outside seeing if we pinned the fabric right, Jordan came out of class screaming that she'd cut her fabric in half. Ah she's so awesome. Lol she was freaking out. But turned out it was alright. She told me she was cutting the pattern out and it got folding and didn't realize that she'd been cutting the fold underneath. Oops?

[Movie Star Monday]

Aww how can you not say that's not the cutest lil thing you've ever seen?!

Today was Movie Star Monday. As I predicted, no one dressed up. Or well either that or I just really don't know my movie stars very well. Apparently I was supposed to get out of block B earlier for interviewing. Meh, wasn't much. Jimmy came to english to get me outta class and I didn't know I was supposed to go. =S So we dropped off my stuff and I met Sam on the way. Seriously.. who was there to interview.. no one dressed up. Student council had apop corn eating contest and a movie trivia. Again, it wasn't much. Jim and I just walked around the caf for a bit. Filmed for a bit, visited the gym to watch the guys play soccer, then headed back to the B.A.S.E.S room for the meeting. Mr Nguyen was dressed up apparently. He was supposed to be.. Don Johnson? From.. Miami.. Vice? Something like that. I've never ever heard of that movie before. I googled some pics and yea I guess he sorta does look like "Don Johnson". I had some pictures of what happened today but I'm not gonna post them. They ain't good enough lol. Hopefully more people will dress up tmr.

After school we had to film the intro for our first issue of 'FHN'. I'm gonna make Sam call it FHN. Hehe~ He wants to rename it. Yea so Jeremy, Eric, and... I think.. Sasha, Steven, Geoff... and some other people were there. Jordan had to go give people rides and she came back a while after. Sam still needed to find his "nurse" for the skit. Lol he just walks up to people walking down the hall and gets them to be an actor. Well at least he knows his people. Haha. I forget her name.. but she's from drama and she was our nurse. Guess things went pretty smoothly. We had 2 cameras filming at different angles. So it was pretty cool.

I went to the career office with Sam after and we talked to Mr Nguyen. I don't remember what the other teacher's name is. But she works in the career office. She's so nice. Yea so Sam was telling Mr Nguyen that he's making me Vice President of the Media Club. Tee hee.. lol I can't do it! Yes I can.. No I can't! Apparently we have 36 people in the club. Man that's a lotta people. We're thinking of doing a fund raiser to raise money to get another laptop and maybe more ram.

When I got home, I did my homework downstairs. DOWNSTAIRS. Crazy or what?!?! Hehe. Since Joey had all her work spread out infront of her, I decided I'd do some work with her too. She kept singing. It wasn't cool after a while. Lol She had this song to memorize the continents. And..it wasn't good ... at all. Haha. Yea.. well it was fun. Mm oh yea and I took pics of Pepper as you can see up there. He's such a cutie patoootie!! Joey was playing hide and seek with him. That was pretty amusing. Pepper is so.. so... I can't say it!! Stupid! So Joey's sitting on the chair, hiding under a pillow. We're telling Pepper to look for her and he gets all excited, starts running all over the house looking for her but insists she's behind her red lounge chair [?]. He even jumps onto the chair RIGHT smack next to her and doesn't see her. The second time, she sits on the dining chair with a jacket over her. He hears her calling but looks in the opposite direction. Ah o boy. He ain't like other dogs. He doesn't seem to smell for her. He looks for her. lol. And he got so annoyed with my mom's pair of tweezers. Ahh so cute~ =P

[Psychic.. no psycho]

Well I just felt the need to blog this..so I'm in my room and the phone rings. Joey yells at me and says it's my call since the last 2 were mine.

"It's yours!!! I know it!"

"How would you know?!"

"Coz I'm PSYCHIC!!"

*dad answers the phone*

"JOEY!!"

Ahh o boy. Grr Monday again?!

[S.O.A.D's in Town]

Went to Guildford this morning to get fabric for class next week. We're making bottoms.. sweatpants.. PJ pants.... PANTS.. lol I got this crazy fabric. It''s lime green with light orangey red hearts and it says Ooh La la. Tee hee.. I wuv it! I got another jacket. =P And these..tank tops... Well I wanna call them tank tops. They're actually camisoles =P. Sure don't look like under-wear. Haha they're cool. And.. we got Pepper a lotta bones and food and stuff. Chyea.. so now I'm in my room cleaning everything out. It's so dusty and cluttered in here! Wasn't too cool when I had Diane and Brandon under my bed with stuff everywhere.

Next week, Welcome Back Week. Muaha..=S I have to do the interview with Jimmy on Monday. I don't know what to ask them people!! And Sam said that since we have so many people in production we're gonna do the school newspaper as well. So I guess that's cool. And he said he's making me Vice President. Haha when he told me yesterday, I was like "Oo! Score!" and he was like "Yea you get to do all the work and discussing plans and arrangements at meetings when I'm not available" I give him a look and he's like "Haha SCORE!" lol.. yea.. well imma get back to my... em.. clearing..

The S.O.A.D concert's tonight. Dahh!!

[Take me by the hand take me somewhere new]

Let's see, we were supposed to do the Terry Fox Run today. But unfortunately due to the weather, it was posponed. It wasn't even raining THAT hard. Lol well.. So much for missing most of English. Tee hee~ We had permit to get outta class at 10:10! That's like what.. 45 minutes earlier?!

Ok well.. Marketing was cool, English was cool, lunch was..cool lol. Our group's changing! First it was me, Diane, Krissy, Lily. Then Troy came by to chill with us. Then Lily and Krissy left.. then Dustin came.. then Jimmy came... then he left.. Then Simran and Amy came.. followed by Jeremy and these two grade..10s? Ew Diane gave me this croissant. She asked me if I wanted one. One of them micro croissants. I told her they're icky and dry. She said they're very moist and gave me one. Lmao I was like DIANE this ain't MOIST. This is like.. WET. It was soaked in butter or something.

Yea E.S.. Textiles.. the day goes on as it does everyday. After school Sam asked me and Diane to stay back for filming coz he needed someone to film his "intro skit". He wants to do a skit on the grade 12 vaccination. lol. So there's him [Sam] and a nurse [supposed to be Vivia but we couldn't find her]. We were in the caf for a bit. Then Sam said he couldn't find a nurse lol. He asked all these people.. "Hey Eric! You can be our nurse!" "Wut?!" "Ke-li can be your nurse!" "Who's Cayley is she hot?" lmao.. Well Diane came over. We had Mac and Cheese mmmmm. Brandon came over a lil later. We watched POTC lol ahh I haven't seen that in so long. Can't believe I used to be crazy about it. Anyhoo.. twas fun... Diane kept laughing at Brandon's laugh. He always goes like "ahh!" in this high pitched girly voice. Lol pretty amusing. We hung out in my room... Had BYOB playing and Brandon said I should get a guitar. Haha now that's an idea...Yes.. well.. that was my day. Now I look forward to my weekend of homework.

It's all the same...everyday..

[Now you see it, now you don't]

My new haircut[Charm that's for you]. Any diff? Can't really see through photos. But man.. it's like so thin now.

First double block day of the year.. "hurrah"...I had a double block of English in the morning. Ms Koch is so so so... proper.. and quiet. She was reading us a short story and it was like she was reciting poetry or something. Really slow and full of expression, emphasis on words, pauses and all that. Yeah well apart from Earth science, that's the only other course where I actually have to use my noodle. XP.

D'oh! Guess who showed up at lunch!?!?! Hogie!! Diane was talking to me. Then she screams in my ear. She's like OMG HOGEN! Yea he finished at 10-ish today so he dropped us a visit. He said he's gonna come play badminton tmr. Chyeaaaa~ Lol.. Amy was eating a pear and she held it by the stem, it snapped and sorta bounced off Simran's shoulder. I don't know if it hit Jimmy.. then splatted on the ground. lol and you see this core lying split up on the ground.

E.S was cool today. We examined rocks..haha.. wait no..minerals, not rocks.. MINERALS. Mr Milross said they aren't rocks. We had to find out the harness, and all that. Pretty cool. Joel and I took so long to get all the names. And there's one mineral, Calcite, it's the scientific name for... table salt? Well Joel licked it and it is SALTY. He told me to lick it.. haha not wise. Lol then we were looking at this other rock that kinda looked like soapstone. I don't think it was soapstone but Joel he friggin.. jabbed it on the table. Not cool lol.. He's so funny. XD..Milross asked me a question. Something like..what makes up most of the minerals or material in the earth. I was like.. em.. em.. oxygen? Air? I wasn't sure but hey I got it right! Lucky guess? Haha he looked at me in suprise "Oh... well.. you're smart.." lol

On my way home, I stopped by Timmy's to get an Iced Capp.. mmm I haven't had those in so long. Met Adam in there. He said he found the janitor's keys and so he got a 10 dollar voucher for donuts or whatever at Timmy's. He got 2 dozen donuts!! And he gave me one =). I told him he probably cleared off half the rack. Yea, after that I bumped into Tanner past the playground. I haven't seen that guy in so long. Talked bout our summer for a bit. When I got home, my dad and Jo² were out on the deck looking towards our neighbour's house. They're clearing the forest in the back space. Gonna build more houses there. My dad was looking at this really tall tree and he said it was gonna come down any minute but he wasn't sure where they were cutting. I walked through the forest towards where they were cutting. Joey and I were standing on this huge log. Then we saw the tractor moving.. closer and closer towards us. lol I looked at her.. I'm like.."Em... Joey... I think it's.. COMING TOWARDS US!" lol. Ah we missed the big tree fall. Lol we were looking at bugs on the ground, then heard a big boom. So we figure it fell. Where are all the squirrels gonna go!?!?

Yea the angle's totally different but you can see the tree on the left is missing in the second picture.

[BURNS bog BURNS]

It was soooo smokey today. Burns Bog, Delta, caught on fire on Sunday.[apparently again]. It caught on fire once before in 1996 if I'm not wrong. It was all smoggy and stuff outside. The smell wasn't too great either. They made announcements saying that we should stay inside the school and avoid going outside. It was just as smokey inside as it was outside.

Sylvia and I finally went to talk to Mr Slade about badminton. Jensen kept bugging me about it and I keep forgeting to talk to Mr Nguyen and Slade about it. Well it turns out practice starts in October but regular season starts in Spring. Evil.. Jensen said he wants to play badminton for JH but he wants to play V-ball for FH. Lol Well that's a while from now.

Guess that was my day.. short and sweet.

[9/12]

And we all made it through the day alive. Hah..Well.. today was like any other day I guess. Last night there was a lotta talk about some graffiti on the school walls. So people were kinda spreading a buncha tales they weren't even completely sure of which kinda freaked some of us out. What I heard was there was graffiti on the walls around the french wing with today's date, 9/12 and that people aren't going to be safe today. Then I heard something bout bombs and knives and Nazi symbols. Lol..Well, on my way to my English portable, which happens to be right where the graffiti was said to be, I saw the Nazi symbol and the date. But that was pretty much it. By the time class was over, the school had already painted over it all. So.. no biggie.

We had our, I'm gonna go with FHN meeting at lunch. Lol it was like some sorta board meeting. We had the tables lined up and Mr Nguyen was at the very end. So we have the Terry Fox thing covered on Friday. I'm working with Lily and Sam. Awesome. And apparently next week is Welcome Back Week. So I guess they substituted Spirit week for that. Movie Monday.. Tropical Tuesday.. etc etc. Lol Sam kept calling me Jmerz. We're discussing this semi-formal.. club.. I don'tk now how to say it. And he calls me Jmerz. "Ok.. Camera.. we have.. Jmerz and Lily.." lol

Science went by pretty fast. That's prob the only interesting course I have this semester. They kept calling down classes for the assemblies so it got really annoying. Lol Mr Gordon would be like "Will the students in grade 10, in the portables, home ec wing and languages wing please come down to the theatre" And Milross was like.. "yea...science wing.. chicken wing.." They pretty much call down all the classes. It's so weird now. They make so many announcements and make sure people come in certain orders with their teachers. Joel said he went on my Nexo page and saw a pic of Pepper and that he thinks Pepper's so cute. Then he asked me what breed he was and I told him Lhasa Poo and he was like "O cool.. My dog's a poodle. He's big.. He's black.. and he's gay.." Lmao that was so funny.. coz he said it all in one straight sentence so loud. Andrew and Calvin.. em.. Trivan.. Triven. I don't know what that guy's name is anymore. Both of them turned around and looked at us weird. Lol.. I looked at them and went.. He means his dog. Lol.. What a thing to say.. He's big, black and gay. Aiii~

Jen and I were in textiles so it was just me and her, no teacher. And now you HAVE to have your teacher with you and they make you sit with your class and all that. I went to Mr Gordon to tell him that we didn't have a teacher with us since we were in a measly 11/12 split with only 2 grade 11s. He pointed at a row of chairs and just told us to fill the spaces. So Jen and I go up there and Legresly snaps at me. Jeezus... I didn't do anything wrong!! Now I understand why no one likes her. Well the assembly wasn't much. Fabiano talked about vandalism and stuff. He took pics of the school before it opened and after it did. Showed us pics of how dirty it was after lol.

I walked home partway with Sylvia and Yvonne then with Alex. I asked him how grade 8 was treating him and he tells me he learned how to roll up a joint. Lol..yea one of the many important life skills you learn in school... How to roll up a joint. Pfft.. Yeh well.. LATER DAYS [You gotta love watching the Weekenders!]

[...see the white lineAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!...]

Got my haircut this morning. Ugh.. got up at 9, left at 9:30, got back at 10:15. That's pretty fast eh. This lady cut both my hair and my mom's in 45 minutes.

I spent the rest of my morning eating, breathing, socializing. Diane left me to go do her math. Then I heard the phone ring but no one came to my door so I figured it wasn't for me. But 8 minutes later, Joey comes to my room and tells me it's for me. I was like.. Wut?! Who were you talking to for the last.. 10 minutes?! Lol yea Brandon asked me if I wanted to go blading. It looked like it was gonna rain though. We were gonna meet up at PA or something but I ended up getting a ride to his place. He was playing hockey with his bros. Well Cammy was lying on the grass in rollerblades and Corey couldn't find his. We just hung out for 3 and a half hours.

Omg, on the way there, my mom was talking to me about driving and how you gotta come to a full stop at all the white lines and how testers are really picky. She was like ".....so.. ok.. see the white line------" And this hornet pops outta nowhere infront of me. Before she finishes what she has to say I freak out. Lol... "see the white lineAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Heh..

Yea so we did the usual.. music.. tv.. video games.. talk.. chyea...what do people usually do when they hang out.. enjoy each other's company?? So Brandon had Dave Matthews Band playing really loud and Cory was playing video games but Brandon muted the TV. lol.. then Cory was like.. can I turn the volume down a bit?? Just a bit?? And Brandon's like no! Then Cory would be like BRANDON.. then he'll look at me and go JAMIE!! Ah..

And Sunday tmr.. I'll prob do my "homework" tmr. I have to create a product and do an AD for it. Then think of 20 products in the market in each category of "The Marketing Plan"..joy~

[I've got the time, I got the hours, I got the days, I got the weeks]

...I could say to myself. I've got the words but I can't speak. Well I was done, done, done with all the circ, circ, circlin' round. I didn't die and I ain't complainin' I ain't blamin' you. I didn't know that the words you said to me meant more to me than they ever could you. I didn't lie and I ain't sayin' I told the whole truth. I didn't know that this game we were playin' even had a set of rules...

Whoa it's Friday!! haha.. already.. I guess the past 3 days have been quite enjoyable. Being back with friends and all. lol... mmhmm.. uh huh... Well.. Today.. OH FHN's starting again. Cept.. pfft.. Sam wants to start fresh and not call it FHN. So I don't know what to call it now. He just calls it a media club. I guess that works for now. Yea so we got a buncha new people. This girl, she's in my textiles class. I don't remember her name tho. But she's so nice. She's gonna be one of our new anchors and... reporter as well. Eric's still with us. I think Jared was supposed to come but he missed the meeting. And we have Jeremy and Jimmy now. So.. it's pretty good. Got a buncha people. I'm already set up for the Terry Fox Run. Schveet~ Hm I forget if Grade 11 and 12s have to run it. Maybe it was just the milk run that we didn't have to run.

We had to do this group project thing in science. Chyea worked with Amy and Colin. We were supposed to do an illustration on this huge piece of paper bout how we affect the Biosphere and how it affects us. I still find it crazy how Amy and I are talk talk talkin' when we never did before. When I see her and Amy in school. It's all smiles and waves now. Crazy cool~ [Hah that's my new thing too!]

After school I was waiting for Diane at her locker. I had my window writer with me so I decided I'd drop a message on her locker. lol Then she drew some stuff in mine.

!!Guess who was in school today!! I was walking down the hall with Diane and I see this guy.. just the top of his head.. and I'm like.. that haircut looks so familiar and it's DAVID! Yea Dryden.

Speaking of haircuts. I'm gonna majorly layer my hair tmr. !!! Hopefully it'll look good. =T!!

Yea so I decided I'd stop by the lil "hang out" spot Simran, Amy and them happy people always hang around after school. Brought Diane along with me. After "much" talk... I walked home with Troy. T'was pretty cool. We talked System of a Down \m/!

Nowadays the hallways are so jam-pack crowded that it's SO hard to get around without being stuck in traffic. I wonder what the population of the school is now. 2 thousand maybe? Or close. And ugh so many grade 8s and 9s. It feels so weird being in the higher levels and being over populated by grades 8s, 9s and 10s. Grade 10 was so perfect coz we were right smack in the middle. You get along with the grade 8s and 9s as well as the 11s and 12s. Well not so much the 11s actually.

[Only the beginning?]

Mm grade 11 feels weird. I don't know what it is. I'm liking my courses so far. I guess? Marketing.. well I'll start talking to people eventually.. I got Jeff's email from Annie.. so it shouldn't be too bad. Advertising doesn't sound like too bad an idea.

English.. meh.. we had to do this test today. Took me so long to finish these paragraphs. And Diane said her block has to do a speech on Monday. URG?! Speech already!?!? WhYYYYYYYY! Koch is soooooo nice. Just not when she gives speeches! Ahh!! *gulp*.. lol.. I wanna say.. How bad can it be? lol.. But I can't! She's giving us movie and popcorn days and pizza days and stuff. But I think the movies we're watching are like.. those ones in the curriculum. Stuff we're supposed to be learning about. Mm well topic for that speech is "If I were ruler..." lol.. Jensen has Koch in block D and I was talking to him about the speech. He was like.. That would suck. Chyea.. at least I know there are people out there who are as afraid of speeches as I am. He was saying that if FH doesn't have a senior badminton team this year, then we can sign an application form to play for JH. That would be awesome. We'd be the ULTIMATE team. All the guys would own.. all the girls would own. We'd beat Maple Ridge! lol.. Or not.. I unno.

Lunch was the usual. We were upstairs.. Lily and Krissy were doing MATH.. ew! Diane.. I don't really think I talked to her that much. Dustin came upstairs to talk for for a bit. Then Jimmy came up and we talked. Then Simran and Amy came. Lol.. they're all awesome. Now our badminton bunch have like dispersed. Forming a new group now haha.

I love Earthscience..well I like that class. Milross is so funny. There aren't many people in there. But I sit with Joel and he's so awesome. We were going through what Earth Science is today. It's actually a pretty complicated course. It ain't a course people just take coz they're too stupid to take something crazy like.. PHYSICS.. ohh no.. Earthscience has like.. a lotta stuff. Milross was saying there's.. Bio.. Chem.. Oceanography.. Meteorology.. Astronomy..And all that.

And last but not least my sad little sewing class with a total of 9 people. Actually maybe there aren't 9.. prob less.. maybe 7. We did some matching worksheets today and got to sew. Whoohoo~! lol.. I can't wait to make something. Maybe I'll get into fashion. Chyea...

Well there's Krissy working on math. And the garage at lunch. I should take a pic of it during break. Man, our school is so packed. It's crazy. And now you can't really tell the difference between the grades. I just see a whole lotta people. The height and size are all averaged. Before, you could tell the difference between grade 11/12 from 8/9... 10 and 11.. I guess not so much. I feel weird.. grade 11. Mmm. This is sad.. I'm gonna stop.

[Yet another birthday]

Ah.. well today was the second day of school. I didn't get a chance to blog yesterday. I mean.. after school lol... School was 11 to 11:30.. so nothing much. Sat in block A and listened to the same old same old. Oo man.. I have marketing first block and I know nobody. The only other grade 11 in there is Jeff and I don't think I've ever talked to him. Guess this is my chance. Yesterday I went over to Diane's after school to hang out for a bit. We watched Outback Jack. Ahh I wanna see the whole season! I saw the last 3 episodes. Yea it was pretty good. Today.. we had a regular day. We were in block A for the longest time tho. Mm..AND we had so much notes to take and homework.. HOMEWORK?! lol Well.. Averil said we didn't have to do it for homework. But that means adding on to tmr? Mm second block I had english out in the lone portable. It's so small! And.. white on the inside. So bare.. yet.. not coz the area is so small. Anyhoo.. Jen's in that class.. Oo Sylvia sits next to me! We had to fill out these "Get to know you" sheets with all these questions. Ahhhh. Name the last 3 premiers?... D'uhhh? Lol.. Mm Brandon's in my class too. Thought he had it in A. Guess he switched. Oo and Chad too! We had to play this bingo thing. Kinda like what we did in french, just in english. And..I think there was another thing. But we never got to that. Lol ah Sylvia's too funny. Ms Koch talks so softly that everyone's gonna be super quiet in order to hear her properly. And I see Sylvia at the corner of my eye leaning forward, frowning? XD Then she picked up her bottle of water or.. coloured water.. whatever it was. And just as she did, Koch was like and no drinks or gum stuck under the desks....... XD

Mm.. next.. Lunch.. hah best block ever. Well we didn't have much to do. Sylvia was gonna take Diane's lunch. But then we were gonna split so. I was with Joel and Diane. Lol and Joel goes "*click* bile"... ah he's still got Russel Peters in his head.

I have Earth Science with Joel and Amy! I didn't know Amy was in that class. Milross is awesome. He can come up with jokes just like that. We were given numbers and partners and in pairs we had to ask each other questions on the board. Lmao.. Corey was my partner and he was reading my answers out. "This is Jamie.. She's chinese..." And Joel looks at me and goes O_O *gasp* You're chinese Jamie?!?!? YOU NEVER TOLD ME. I'm like.. Joel.. I've known you for so long now and you still don't know?! Lol aw he's just so cute like that.

Last block.. Textiles.. Man.. that's one sad class. 9 people?!? I guess that can be a good thing. More help when I need it =P Yea.. that class wasn't much. I think it'll be fun.

Aunty Jeanette, Uncle Raymond, Caroline and Pam came over for dinner yesterday. They're here for a week, will be leaving on Friday. So we talked and stuff. It was Uncle Raymond's bday yesterday. Man so many bdays. And so many ice cream cakes! Mmm man.. good stuff.. Maybe I'll go have some RIGHT now.. =)

[I can't remember when it was good.Moments of happiness elude]

Well... school starts soon. And when I say soon..I mean, I have to leave in about 15 minutes. So I decided to pull out a couple of pics. I guess I shoulda picked a variety. But I love all of them! lol

Badminton was awesome this year. Can't believe season 3 is over! Jensen and I played the hardest of our games in the semi-finals at the Frasers. Then lost in the finals. We were sooooo close!! Ah but that second last game was prob the best game I've played so far.

Then there was badminton at the rec centre. Got to know so many more people this year. Hah Sylvia and Diane make the best pair. XD [Oh you know it]

...Maybe I just misunderstood.All of the love we left behind.Watching our flashbacks intertwine.Memories I will never find.So I'll love whatever you become.Forget the reckless things we've done.I think our lives have just begun.I think our lives have just begun...

[My Happy Ending]

One with the family

Diane is coming over right now. I'm guessing she's walking. Coz I've managed to downsize photos and upload.. and watch Joey juggle and she still isn't here. So let's see.. til she comes... I shall talk bout what we did last night.

Jill and family came over.. Mm Aunty Serene? And the other Aunty June came. O Jane and Matt came too.Yea.. haven't had that many people here in so long. We watched Constantine. That's such a weird movie! But it was good. All them angels and devils and halflings.. lol. I wanna have super powers!!! We had pizza.. and I think my mom made Laksa. Omg.. that pizza was the worst...it was... ugh.. The "crust" was mushy.. and it had too much cheese and too many onions and red and green peppers. I had 2 slices... haha..Mmm we played video games after. OH and we watched Russel Peters again. O boy.. haha.. that stuff somehow doesn't get old. Mmm.. It's uncle Roger's bday today. So we had ice cream cake.. and Tau Fu Fah.. mmmm good stuff.. Yea.. and now Diane is here so imma go chill with her.

School starts tmr!! Hah.. what "excitement".. And Aunty Jeanette's coming tmr. They landed.. mm.. Saturday?? And they're gonna be here til Friday. Then.. I guess a year or two til they come? I unno..I want it to be mid Winter. Ah.. cold crisp air.. snow.. Yea...snowboarding. Hopefully they have that Whistler trip. They didn't have it last year. Grrr

[Another walk in the park]

Mm.. Dustin and Simran were gonna come over to watch a movie. But then Simran had to do the laundry or something then we kinda got held up. So in the end she came over and we walked to Timmy's to meet Dustin. We just talked and walked around Erma. Then sat at the waterpark and talked bout school and stuff. Yea then we decided to drop Diane a visit and we.... walked somemore. Wow that's pretty much all you can do in FH unless you had money.. and money for what.. food.. hehe.. Yea so we ended up walking in circles. And eventually we all headed back to my place and we talked somemore. Had something to eat.. drink.. My mom didn't catch Dustin's name.. She called him.. Dauvrin? Dawgvrin? Diane heard Dogring.. Lol? I'm like.. what did you call him? XD o boy..Then Simran had to leave and we played Super Smash Bros Melee. til it got dark... Pretty dark.. then Dustin decided he had to leave and Diane left a while after. Man.. she had too much coke.. We were so high.. Lmao..She was walking out the door and she saw a moth. She was like "Ok Jme.. I'll see you on MONday.. or Tooosday.. or... WEDS day.." and the moth kept flying around her.

[This is your life - Switchfoot]

Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you've broken
Don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes
This is your life and today is all you've got now
Yeah, and today is all you'll ever have
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

Yesterday is a kid in the corner
Yesterday is dead and over

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes [Don't close your eyes]
Don't close your eyes

This is your life are you who you want to be
This is your life are you who you want to be

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

And you had everything to lose

[2nd time lucky]

[1: Jensen on the edge of defeat 2: Hoge: Taking a break 3: One rally down 4: Another whip in the head]

Went to badminton today. Ugh so many people were there. Binh's back from Toronto and Pat was there too. I rallied with Jen, Bett and Pat. Haha Pat was like DO SOMETHING to Jen coz she was just standing there. Then Sylvia took her spot. My cross court drops kept going out. Grr~

Hogen and Grace showed up a while after. They went to their SFU orientation earlier today. Lol Hogen...or rather. Hao Jen? lmao... he was so excited. He comes walking into the gym and starts telling us bout SFU and throws a buncha agendas at us. Then shows us his T-shirt and wrist bands and all that. lol.. aww we won't be seeing them in school next year. Yeh so he gave Sylvia an agenda and he gave me one too.

Mmm..we rallied, Me, Grace, Sylv, Hoge.. He was trying to do some backhand cross court. Every shot that went to him he moved so it would be a backhand. =S?

Sylvia and I just talked the rest of the time. We were sitting watching Jensen and Hogen play singles. So I've got powerade in my mouth and Sylvia does something so weird coz I think Jensen moved back a whole lot so it looked like he was gonna fall back.. and Sylvia flinched. O boy.. haha everything came out. I was gonna die. XD. Yea so Hogen was on game point 14-5. JENSEN had 5 points! He was gonna give up. Then managed to get up to about 9. But we were all rooting for Hoge. Ah hah and he won! Jensen got BEAT! Second game... they switched sides and they were all serious and stuff. Then Hoge does this weird.. flip? I have no idea what he did but it was so weird. It was like his whole body was in the air and he flipped.

Ugh..Racket slipped outta my hand when I was rallying with Sylvia.. Not good. So when I got home I decided I'd change my grip. Took me forever to get it right.. Jeesuz~ It kept creasing.. Got so frustrated. Sylv said she'd get me a new grip if this one was messed up. [!!Does that mean I owe you another meal?!? haha..chasing bears.. aiii XD]
