So, I'm bored, and I fill like I should start posting again. This is me, making an attempt. Lets see how long it lasts. The smart money is on less than a month.

Tonight I got into a fight with my ex-boyfriend's parents. Over msn. Sometimes, I amaze even myself.

Okay, so this is a repeat for most of y ou, becuase you have probably read Paul's post, but updatying my LJ is on my list of things to get done today.
so, sunday, ribfest, Paul socializing wiht my dad, taking the really long way to cambridge, including dirt roads and everything, sex in pauls basement, sleeping in the very cozy guest bedroom (his mom left the bedside light on for me), a very nice homemade quilt.

monday: the best jam ever! (homemade pear), the drive up to dorset, really good burgers, mindtrap in the car with pauls family (so cool), ATV's (its actually quite ridiculous how much these machines turn me on), the cottage, swimming, introduction to the outhouse, exploring the island, campfire, smores, full moon, all around good times.

Tuesday: the hammock (<3), canoeing, naming the islands (pete and jack), skinny dipping off of jack, sex in the lake, sex on jack, lunch, ridiculously good make out sessions that got rudely interupted, more canoeing, the discovery of dave, bob, and josh (i think it was josh, but right now the name escapes me), drifting on the lake, campfire, better smores

Wednesday: hiking, going to visit a lovely little water fall, swimming, washing of the hair in the lake, trips out in the canoe again, this time sex in the canoe, lots of drifting, siesta with paul, musical renditions of songs while listening to my ipod that lasted well into the night

packed up to go, light drizzle, fine whatever, sad about having to leave. And then, the accident. So, we are about to drive the third ATV to the end of the island so we can load it onto the little ferry to take across. Paul is on the mainland, waiting for us. Because of the way the last ATV is parked (on a hill), we cant get it into neutral, so me and pauls dad push it up a bit, while pauls mom trys to get it in neutral, we do that, so thats fine, then pauls mom was just going to drive it around (because it was facing the wrong way). When she puts it into gear and gives it some gas, the ATV goes flying, louder than i have ever heard it. She tried to brake, but on that particular ATV (me and paul rode it down to the cottage), the brakes were a little touchy, plus, now they are wet. So, the brakes failed, and the engine was reved all the way up. Pauls mom tried to steer for a tree so that the ATV would stop. She hit the tree, but had too much momentum, so she kept going, over the cliff that the tree was on the edge of. THe cliff was a 30ft. drop to the bottom of the lake. Me and Paul's dad are standing right there while this whole thing happens. Pauls dad yells out Brake! Brake!, and then runs after her to see if shes okay. i follow him, not entirely sure what to do at this point. as soon as i hear the word ambulance, i run and get paul, who knows that some thing is wrong.

When he sees me, he assumes that something has happened to his mother. We both climb back down the cliff, and see what the damage is. The bokes of her leg were sticking out her ankle. THough they wern't exposed because her sock was covering them, it was clear that they were no long inside her body.

Paul and his dad quickly went to go call 911, while i took up a post beside Pauls mom, holding her hand and talking to her.

Two hours later, the helicopter finally got there. After it found a place to land, which was quite a tricky feat, the medical personal had to br brought over by boat via paul. When they saw the damage, they immediately said ortho (as in, she's goign to need an orthopedic surgeon). They decided the easiest way to get her out would be by boat, so they got all their equipment set up and moved her onto the stretcher. A half hour later, she was airlifted out.

I must say, Paul's mom is one tough woman. She waited in a very uncomfortable position for two hours with just 2 extra strength asprins as painkillers. She was also really calm about the whole thing. At one point it looked like she wsa going to go into shock, but she didn't. Oh, and she also told me all about her kids when they were little.

After she was safetly taken care of, Pauls dad talked to the police, paul and his dad pulled the atv out of the water, and then we all got out of there. by the time we got to cambridge, it was 7 pm. THe accident occured at ~10:30.

that night pauls dad went to the hospital with his brother david, while paul drove me the rest of the way home. I'm not sure how his mom is, but i am going to find out today.

needless to say... it was a rather exhausting day...

but, on the bright side, i think the weekends goign to be fun.

Sat, 05 Aug 2006 13:38:51 GMT

So a lot has happened since i last updated. I gave my notice, went back to days for two weeks, and am now officially free of tim hortons. I really hope i never have to work their ever again.

I decided to tell my Dad about Paul. It was rather emotional, but im glad i did it. And he's letting me go to the cottage.
SO, this means that tomorrow Paul is coming down to go to rib fest, and then we are goign to his house, and monday we leave! I can't wait, its goign to be so much fun. I haven't really had a vacation in two years, let alone one with someone i really love in a place that sounds amazing.

I get back thursday night, then on the following tuesday, me, frank and dad leave for Nova Scotia, where the rest of my summer is going to be spent. By the time we get back, there will be a couple days at home, which will probably involve lots of unpacking, laundry, then re-packing, and then I will move into res that sunday. Overall, the rest of the summer should fly by.

I can't wait to get out to NS, the only hard part will be the time away from Paul, but at least when i get to see him again, I will actually be living in guelph. According to my countdown, there are 28 days til move in day. I never thought i woudl get this close. Its almost here!

I was tagged by tehjai

Once you've been tagged, you have to write a blog with six random facts about yourself. In the end you need to choose six people to be tagged and list their names.

1. When me and Paul got together a part of me felt guilty becuase Kelly was mad at me.

2. I get scar tissue on very minor cuts

3. I have a secret love of coming-of-age novels

4. I like to buy movies that i haven't seen yet. Sometimes I will go as long as a year without watching them.

5. Even though I haven't smoked since I was 14 (not including the few occasions last summer), i love the smell of second hand smoke.

6. I really like the O.C., but i can't watch it becuase i get too stressed about the characters and their 'problems' that i make myself anxious

Best. Weekend. Ever.

Tue, 04 Jul 2006 15:39:32 GMT

Not only was my 18th birthday my best so far, but it just happened to take place on the best weekend of my life. What was supposed to be one night (saturday) at 866, quickly turned into 3(fri, sat, sun).

I'd just like to say a huge thanks to tehjai for letting us use her room while she was in pembrooke. Thank you SO much

So friday night my family (including frank, who was home for an appointment) went out for dinner to celebrate my birthday. I had recently broken the news to them that we were goign to have to leave for guelph friday night instead of saturday as previously planned, when my dad offered to just drive us up there, wrecking the carefully planned chain of events that was supposed to occur.

Oh well.

so, when we got to guelph, my parents came in for tea... i still haven't figured out what that was about.

soon after they left paul and cat came over while frank finished his programming assignment at school. We watched robin williams do some stand up comedy and the movie unbreakable.

Saturday:
Was my birthday! Paul got me breakfast at tiffany's on dvd (which i made him and frank watch) and a new, very pretty digital camera (its orange). Cat was away all day with st. john's, and most of the day was spent figuring out how to make chocolate eclairs. that night, we attempted to do a gelato run, but for some reason, the 24 hour ultra doesn't serve gelatto at 2am, even though they are open anyways. We did bring the light sabers along though, so it was fun

Sunday:
was another day filled with nothing. Everyone pretty much sat around all day and relaxed. that night we did decide to go to the movies. Frank and paul went to go see nacho libre, while cat and I went to the devil wears prada. when we got home, we made banana boats on the BBQ. it didn't have the charm as making them on a campfire, but they were still good.

Monday:
We cleaned up Jai's room a bit, emptied her garbage... washed the sheets... etc.
Then we went for breakfast (at 1) where we decided to go the the science center for the day. After exploring the science center for a few hours, we felt that a stop off at the old spagetti factory was necessary to see if my life-coachee, andrew was working. Turns out he was, and he got us a table without having to wait a half hour like everyone else had to. Dinner with andrew wwas a blast as usual. We invited him to any force-a-thons that may be coming up, asked him lots of interesting questions, and i shared my raspberry frozen yogurt smoothee with him. We found out when his birthday is, and we have his email, so we decided that if he doesn't give us his mailing address in time for his birthday, we are goign to send him a birthday card and/or gift to his work. we even got someone to take a picutre of us, with andrew looking supremely awkward in the middle.

Overall it was a truely amazing weekend. if this was a preveiw of what my year is going to be like, then i can't wait.

ok, so i found this list of20 things you need to do at guelph before you graduate... I have already done 4.

#7 Attend Hillside Music Festival
#11 See the research cow with the window in its stomach
#12 Ride the Magic Bus
#15 Go to College Royal

Today was my last day of high school classes. I graduate in 10 days, and it diffenetly hasn't hit me yet.
Today was also sports day, which i didn't partipate in, and instead sat around and listened to music with Matt, so it was a good day.
For the part of the day with classes, i had my bought and paid for prefect, emily bradley follow me around. For those of you who dont know (which is basically all of you), prefects are like the student council, and emily bradley is this extremely conservative girl who wins all these debating awards and doesn't like the show reboot, so i decided to dress her up as a communist and make ker carry around her debate trophies with her all day. I think the high point was when my physics teacher made her get up and tell the class about how good communism is for ten minutes.
Oh, i also made her a little reboot logo and made her 'reboot' when she did things, like sit down, etc.
Overall, it prooved to be an entertaining day, and a nice end to high school.
Of course, bc sports day was outside, i managed to burn my shoulders in the big 15 minutes i was in the sun. lovely. oh well.

So, now i just have to write 6 exams, and then i am done high school forever! i cant wait, bc being done high school puts me one step closer to university, or as i like to call it, freedom.

In a totally unrelated topic, i have somehow managed to accidentally set up my best friend with a guy from my school. I am not sure how i managed it, but it seems to all be working out.. who knows what will happen...

Wow, it seems like so much has happened in the past week, i really need to post realy updates more. Okay, so thursday was my house dinner at jack astors. I was in the area a little early, so i headed over to value village to kill some time. When i was there, i found the most ridiculous pair of shoes i have ever seen. They are 7" stripper shoes, with clear plastic heels and holographic money on the strap. THey are the same style as the ones below, but as i said, the strap has something different on it.

When i got back to school, i wore them around my house, and everybody wanted to try them on, they are so much fun.
At the house dinner, they give out paper plate awards to everyone. Mine was 'we're just friends' becuase i always have to tell everyone that about me and ryan.

Then, on friday, i decided to get my tragus peirced. For those of you who don't know what exactly a tragus is, i included another picture:

I went with Matt, who was very tolerent of the fact that i killed his hand. It didn't hurt as much as i thought it would, and the main reason it did hurt was becuase they have to peirce it slowly so they dont puncture your cheek. Now that i have it i absolutely love it, i will try and get a picture of mine up as soon as i can.

After i got back from downtown, i had to go to grad dinner. This is basically another superfluous ridley event, but was pretty fun anyways. All the seniors go to dinner with the housemasters and MOD's, then there are speaches, and then we all walk across the feild to middle school, lead by a piper (i know, it sounds pretty hokey, but its actually really nice). THen there were fireworks, followed by a trip to the theater where we saw now and then photos and the video yearbook. All in all, it was a good time.

Because the grad dinner went so late, i ended up sleeping at school, which sadly, is much more enjoyable then sleeping at home.

Overall, its been a good couple days. Tonight i am supposed to go see X3, i hope its good...

I'll try to update more, but its hard because my school has the website blocked.

this weekend=reach
i can not wait.
there will be scotch for all.

oh, and the reason i haven't posted in so long is becuase they blocked eljay at school, and i have been too busy lately anyways. there are officially one month and six days left until i graduate. i cant wait.
and now i am exhausted.

Sun, 30 Apr 2006 23:38:16 GMT

I hate Sundays. They are stupid and pointless and rather mocking. I feel oblilgated to stay home on them, becuase i have school the next day, but i never end up getting that much work done becuase its still the weekend. To make matters even more fun, my mother appears to be upset because i want to go to my school-run celebratory grad dinner alone.
To be perfectly honest, i'v had it. Tomorrow morning at 8 i write my first AP exam. This week is going to be brutal and i have no energy to waste trying to make her feel better about something that i want.
Everyone around me is so stressed, and i am so tired of it. I don't have time for this. ugh. why cant high school be over? what is the point in making it continue those last two months when everyone has already heard from universities? No one has any motivation anyways.

oh well

At least Paul came down this weekend :)
Unfortunetaly, if he doesn't come down again on wednesday, i wont see him again for about 3 weeks.
Next weekend is cadet ball (my equivolent of Prom) friday night, clothing show saturday, and church parade sunday.
The weekend after that i am in Toronto all weekend with school reach.
ughh.
sometimes i hate being busy.

oh well. onward, to the language exam!

hunger strike to follow (1-4)

Mon, 24 Apr 2006 01:51:34 GMT

Thats it. i have made a decision. I am taking a stand. For the first time this year, I am not going to spend my sunday night ironing shirts for the coming week. I am effing tired of it. there is no more ironing to be had! I am liberating my inner housewife, while i kick back and read instead.

Also, this works as a silent protest to encourage the summer dress announcement.

Let the rebels run free! and let them do it with wrinkled shirts!

Baklava and Cheese! (1-3)

Sun, 23 Apr 2006 03:39:44 GMT

Today i got my boots for cadet ball. i absolutely love them, they are white, mid calf docs, with flowers embossed up the sides. They aren't what i went in looking for, but i am so glad that i got them.

today was also baklava and cheese day with Ryan. This basically means we went out for greek foor and ate flambe'd cheese and baklava for dinner. yea.. it was a good time.
then we watched clerks (a cult classic kevin smith movie) becuase i had never seen it before. all and all a very good day, which is surprising, seeing as it began rather early with doulbe math.
