PETITE FLEUR AU COEUR SERRÉ

I've just found my DRUGGGG.

2007-02-12T23:22:37Z

If and when I have a bad day or moment, I can just go back to this post. Maybe you'll find something to bring a smile to your face too. :)

TÉRAPIE PAR LE RIRE.

(The actual number is kind of crap, but mister yellow shirt Doug is my new hero of laughs.)

But, of course, even better. Always better. Babies!

Laughing is contagious.

HEE.

Dogs and balls are funny to babies too!

Blong!

Spoon! This daddy is FUNNY.

Proof that I have the sense of humour of an infant. I thought that was funny too, WTF. Umbrellas, fun for the whole family!

"Baby boy giggling at daddy throwing balls around." Daddy and balls, favourite combinason??

heeeeee.

no ho you just have to wait

Oooookay. Work was hectic today. Even if I worked some lazy shit shift, four hours. Tomorrow is probably going to be ten times worst, added with the factor that it's all going to be new employees except for me and Rox (um, I don't consider myself still new, sometimes. At least not compared with the newest new ones). So, I guess I was a little bit tired today because of that, and thinking about the busy weekend I'll have.

The plans are as follows: Working tomorrow, squeezing a shower and packing and getting ready, going to my dad's for supper, possibly sleep there, go to my grandparents' house for family celebrations (somewhat? I don't know who's invited this time, but they make it out to be a big enough family gathering anyway. I'm excited), and lastly, staying until I can't take it anymore. Haha! I was lucky enough with my work schedule that they didn't pencil me in until Thursday. Aw, sweet. It's been a while since I've seen my family, honestly. But I prefer paying them visits now, though. It's more special that way, I don't know. Yes.

So, I guess I really needed to do something else, because honestly I can't seem to concentrate on the computer anymore, it's weird! I'm sorry if I completely abandoned comment conversations we were having. I haven't forgotten about them, I promise, but I just can't concentrate on them so I suppose I just gave up. Again, sorry! Egh, so instead I took a little time out(/off?) and played Idol with astrologen. It was actually a smaller scale Idol (kind of like, um, "Apartment Idol"?), and the contestants were indeed just Val and me. We, technically, performed songs out of two themes (60's and 80's) and who knows, maybe if we keep it up we might get to the finale and we'll be able to sing 'Alive' or 'Right Here, Right Now', all those fabulous cliche Idol singles, god I love them. So we took pictures and even videos of our performances, and I have no idea if Val will decide to share (lmao), but if she does, in my defense I know I suck at singing and on top of that I can't remember lyrics worth shit. But it was really fun because we were dressed up and moved the furniture around in the living room so it was just really about not caring and doing something different and crazy. Which we're kind of good at sometimes, haha!

HAPPY EASTER AND STUFF!!!

ummm. hello?

2006-04-12T05:33:44Z

GAHHHH. I don't know what to update about, yet here I am. I think I'm at a point in my life where, um, things are just chill, relaxed and hella lazy. Yes, I'm not denying that. This is probably the worst I've been at commenting lately, I think.

So, I'm just wasting time like every night. And, I downloaded this new client sematic thing (I used to have the old, old thinger). Right now I'm almost lost, but I'm sure that in just a few I'll be all, AHH how did I ever live without it?!!?

it started out great!

2006-04-10T03:15:30Z

Aggh, I haven't written or read anything in decades. Slowly but surely, that will change. It is changing. Or so that is what I'm convincing myself. Yes, I want to be productive and active and all that good stuff!

I am tired! But I shall do the dishes during the night again, because it's relaxing and there's a fucking load of dishes pilling up. I'm a procrastinator, the worst there is actually, but most of the time I end up getting things done. Well... sometimes. All right, rarely! Whatever! Haha. Anyway. I can't say, in the general sense of the term, that my life is that complete right now, but I'm living something, and I think that's awesome and reassuring. I have changed drastically since moving out. I'm learning to be myself slowly. Well, all right, I'm still hiding a lot and being antisocial during certain situations, but for the most part, I've learned a lot and I've taken that with me. It's great.

Daniel wanted me to go out with him, and while I can't wait to have some kind of clubbing experience, I'm just too tired, and kind of annoyed right now. There will be plenty of time for that some other time. I realize, except for going out with my boss, I haven't properly gone out in a really really long time. But... meh, I've never been used to it (even though I love it like woah), so I don't miss it as much. I guess. Not today anyway.

nothing like a fairytale, but at least it's sprinkled with glitter

2006-04-08T23:17:35Z

Today was supposed to be the day for catching up on net related things, and fandom and also cleaning related things, but I woke up at 3:30 so I am very slowly catching up indeed. For now (and for a while), I'd rather catch up of my friends list and updating, usually that's what comes first. So, I'm doing just that. I have yet to comment on every entry on my first friend's page (which would be the most recent 20 posts), but that is my dream. One day it will happen. I think lately I felt the urge to remove a few people that I haven't talk to in months and will never ever get the courage to comment on their entries again. So I say, why bother trying to keep in touch, when it's obvious you're just wasting your energy? I'll make a final decision sooner or later.

Yesterday I got invited by my boss to the famous country bar, and so of course I went. I'll have to admit in certain aspects, this was the best night (out of what? it's the fourth time I've going?) so far, which is kind of a sucky thing to say because for once Val wasn't there (and it's true that I missed that part greatly!). At first I was sort of my antisocial self, just sporadically smiling at my boss, at her family (that I sort of all know now) and Serge. Then, about halfway I got more into it, line dancing at almost every opportunity I got (and I can safely admit there's maybe only one type of dance I learned, the other times I just looked like an idiot). Then, during Serge's break (he has like two or three now), he sat next to me and we chatted a bit and tried to keep a conversation despite the really loud and bad karaoke singer, which wasn't an easy thing to do. I told him about Val's vacation and the fact that she was coming soon (which he was sad about the fact that it didn't go as planned, but excited for you nonetheless), then we talked a little bit about his band and where he was doing shows. The closest he's playing at is in Mascouche, and maybe one day we'll have to act like the true fangirls that we are and see him play there. Maybe.

The best part of the night came when the bar was pretty much closing, and a little bit after that, too. We had sort of an intimate after hour, if you will? It was just a few of us girls there, the bar's owner (or just his wife? I don't know who owns the bar, really) and Serge. He played a few acoustic songs, like Lady Down On Love from his band, which is kind of my favourite song of the moment, and Gambler (and I didn't know what song that was, but it's the "You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, Know when to walk away, know when to run" kind of song from the CI2 audition where Zack was singing with the guy, so remembering that, I had to hold a few laughters in). And, he also performed some Roch Voisine and Eric Clapton, which my cheesy heart loved dearly. So yeah, fun night. It was the first time I felt kind of in the group to some extent.

And, a few things that I just have to mention to anyone who's interested, I asked if there was any way I could buy his band's album, and he said just to bring a blank CD and he'll burn it for me. YES! And Val, apparently in two weeks, they are having a sort of celebration for hockey players (young hockey players), so there will be much more classic rock, and less country, so you better be in! Speaking of rock, last night Serge did an incredible version of AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long". And, it was rocking!

So, I pretty much woke up today because of the really loud music blasted from somewhere in this apartment, as well as the phone ringing. It was my grandparents and they wanted to pay me a little visit, which they did just before supper. My grandma brought me a piece of Pudding Chomeur which was mm mm delicious, and I gave them the white chocolate maple kind of chocolate chip sized treats that I bought at the cabane a sucre. She also bought me a pink box to dump my dirty laundry in, so haha I'm a happy camper. As well as a swan lake BARBIE ornament, wow this is so beautiful, now not only am I happy, I'm in heaven!

Have a nice day everyone!

I give up on trying to go to bed early, I think.

2006-04-07T07:01:03Z

I didn't want to stay awake too late today/tonight, so I decided to watch a movie instead of lurking online for a while. Because lord knows I sure can waste my time online. But, that didn't help that I'm tired as hell now. Great going, that was really smart. I don't know why Internet > Movie in terms of wasting energy, but it made sense in my head. At least I didn't really had to think for a while, and I'm sure my brain appreciated that. Uhhh. Yeah, that sounded bad and weird. Anyway.

So I watched Just Friends, which I so conveniently just reviewed on Flixter (and I invite everyone to JOIN and review, because it's fun and useful when you want to see movies and rather have a friend's opinion instead of a critic's). Obviously, my review should have had a little more OMGRYANOMGHOTOMGOMGOMG, but I tried to keep it down, because everyone goes there, and I'm trying to have some sort of credibility, at least. So yes. And, I failed to mentioned the part when I started crying when Ryan's character goes, "I want to make babies with you, I want to marry you," but isn't that the sweetest thing ever or am I that deranged? So, I left that part out of my review, because again, credibility.

I have no idea what I accomplished. It's still 3 am, I'm dead tired and my potential to-do list never gets shorter.

spending monie, a therapy?

2006-04-06T03:38:34Z

After work (which was long and uneventful, but I have to learn not to mention that when there's nothing out of the ordinary otherwise it gets repetitive) I treated myself to cd+dvds. It's been such a long while since I actually spent money on things other than the essentials of life. Well, okay I bought Rex's CD (yay, my illegal songs collection just shrunk a bit!), but that was anticipated. So, this time it was really just spending to spend. And, gosh it feels nice. As well as the products giving me hours of good times, too, obviously. So, this would be what I bought.

One being the obvious long awaited new release. Who could ever deny me gay cowboys? No one, that's who. Two being another long awaited new release, but musically this time. It's one of my favourite quetaine/cheesy singer, like Marie so kindly calls them. Wilfred's second album, after his first two years ago, I think. So yes. Long awaited. And at first listen it's really enjoyable. I like the song where he mentions people thinking he's gay (hm, shout out to me? hahaha, no, it's actually as an insult in the context of the song). And three being ummm... another new release, but see, this is to start my Ryan Reynolds movie collection because I want them all. I am a shallow human being. But, eye candy sometimes makes me happy when nothing else during the day seems to. So whatev, right? It's positive like hells yeah to me.

WTF MY POST IS NOT APPEARING I'M ABOUT TO CUT A BITCH.

Sorry about that.
Can anyone see my last entry (recap) on their friendspage? I know I can't (see it on your friendspage).

I'm so slooooow

2006-04-02T05:30:20Z

Yo sup people.

I don't really have earth shattering news, sorry, but I think it's been a while, so I'm going to give you the low down on what's going on. Life at the apartment is of course lonely, but I never thought I could ever ever live alone. The fact that I was already established (well, you know... comfortable, and in my stuff? I've lost brain cells lately, I swear) helped a lot. As of now I'm surviving well, and no maniac has attacked me in the parking lot. Except there was a bunch of boys that fought one night, and that scared me a bit, but I was safe up here.

And of course, apart from staying alive (ah ah ah staying alive! come on, have a little bit of dance spirit!), I'm very excited about Monday. It's El Mex Show. I have no idea why I've said it in Spanish instead of French. I guess that's what "mex" inspires in me. Rather than a combination of Rex and Mel's names, ha. So yeah, I even had to ask for a day off. I've never ever worked on Mondays, yet THIS week they had to schedule me in? What kind of weirdass crap is that? Thankfully, I asked to my really awesome and understanding boss, so if all goes well (meaning she doesn't forget?) I should be off Monday. In worst case scenarios, I clearly told her I'll be back at my grandparents, and they won't be able to contact me, so bah. I will completely enjoy this concert, and not feel so rushed like Hedley's last show. :[

And, last up. Um, I'm sitting here eating Mandarins! Oh yes! Real fruits. In a bottle, sort of? Already peeled mandarins, because I'm lazy like that. Oh and you know what that makes me think of? FREAKING CHINESE BUFFET PUTTING ALCOHOL IN THEIR MANDARINES. I mean, I like alcohol as much as the next person, but we're talking about that buffet with the creepy old lady down the street. It was ODD, wasn't it Val? Gosh. Haha, so yes. That's enough "story telling" for the day.

Boo at losing an hour tonight.

EDIT: Okay, NEWS OF IMPORTANCE = who the fuck just ysi'd me the song "Crazy"? I'm a bit scared to download it and find out who it's by, but I think I will do that!

EDIT NUMBER 2: OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG IT'S RYAN MALCOLM SINGING PATSY CLINE SDFLASMKDFLAF! Wow. Who the hell just made my night?

when you worry you make it double

2006-03-30T06:16:26Z

Oh well it seems I'm back to my 'doing the dishes at midnight' ways. It feels nice, it feels nice. And, I learned that Don't worry, Be happy is totally my theme song. Gosh I can't help giggling at least once when I listen to that song! Especially when the singer talks. He's like, "Don't worry, Don't worry. Don't do it. Be happy. Put a smile on your face, don't bring everybody down." with an accent, it's charming!

So yeah. I WANT UNITY WITH MY ICONS. Dude, I don't know, I was just looking at them and being just, "damn, that's all over the place." I think I'll just touch them up and upload them all back again or something. Except NOT because I'm lazy and such. But, I think I'll do something about it. And, I'll work on my user info too, it's boring. I'll add that to my mini projectz, definitely. Not that I'm that occupied otherwise.

Work tomorrow, ugh oh no. Send your healing vibes to me, please! And no nose bleeding, ai'ight? Although, that would be so dramatic, wouldn't it?

update on the inevitable spring cold

2006-03-29T06:25:52Z

All right, so clearly I'm not showing up for work tomorrow* at eight. I called earlier today because there was no way I was going to cut up tomatoes when I spend the whole day blowing my nose and it's threatening to bleed any second. It's been good today, though. No bleeding. But I've been extra careful. And of course, a cold means that I'm x 6245232 slower than usual which means basically I'm not even moving. Haha. But I'll get my shit together eventually. My shit being all those random things I have to do. Nothing major, just a couple tasks and such.

Crunchie bars will be the death of me. Seriously. I bought two packs because they were on sale, and I thought that it would be mini bars, but it's actually full bars and they are that sort of sponge candy shit with chocolate around and now I'm eating them even though I'm not hungry and the thought of any more sugar makes my stomach turns. They are sooo yummy though. I'm pathetic, lol!

Anyway, yeah! What have you guys been up to? Apart from what I've been able to read on my friends' page, duh! ;)

* by tomorrow I mean today, obviously.

I'm always most productive at night now, it's alarming.

2006-03-27T08:18:13Z

D'arrrr. I was just getting ready to update my fantabulous eljay when suddenly my nose started bleeding uncontrollably. Well, okay, it wasn't that bad and the time on this entry tells me it took fifteen minutes to make it stop (which isn't that long, considering). I thought I was done with the constant nose bleeding during winter, though. It hasn't happened in years. I suppose it has something to do with the air and the amount of humidity being different then at my grandparents' house. It's something I will have to deal with, of course. And, all of that started in the winter of ninety something when a girl who wanted to pretend to be my friend climbed on my back. I hit my nose on the ground (the snow was hard, it was not a pretty sight) and the rest is history.

Alright, so what I was here to talk about first was to casually tell you about my day. Work was actually pretty friggen sweet. If work was like that every day, I'd look forward to getting up in the morning. The only boss around was Roxanne, and she's younger than me, so needless to say she's a cool boss who doesn't make us work like twelve. I guess it helped that there wasn't too many customers (for a weekend), too, but it was just mellow. If she could have gotten the computer to work (apparently someone had changed the password), we would have watched a movie in the employers room. While working. Haha, but instead people were being lazy and hiding around so I pretty much had to do everything (remember that it was a slow day, so taking care of fries, sandwiches, the drive through and the dinning room wasn't overwhelming that often, only sometimes). What I'm trying to say is the day passed by quickly, and that it always a good thing with work days.

In other news, I've decided I'd be working on a project. I thought I'd keep it a secret, but I don't think I can do that. I'll share it with you so I can see if people think it's a good idea to go on with it or not. Well, you know those (mostly) Fallout Boy videos that helps you understand the (wrong) lyrics? Yes? No? Well, I got inspired by that a whole lot.

In fact, I was thinking I could do that with a song by Hedley, because, not only does Jake have a questionable diction, but it could also be a way to promote the band, I don't know? Well, I listened to the songs on their CD and there's something that I realized: or Jacob can enunciate more than I give him credit for, or I've listen to Hedley too much and Jake started making sense. I don't know. It's hard to mess up the lyrics to a song you know pretty much by heart. So, I settled for Sink Or Swim, which I oh oh so cleverly changed to Cinco Swim. And now everytime I hear the title, I start salsa dancing and singing to 'uno dos tres en pasito pa'alante Maria' and now maybe you will too! How I love playing with my friends' minds. That aside, I have now reritten the lyrics to Hedley's seventh track on their self-titled CD and it's kind of crap, but with stupid stick figure imagery, maybe it will be worth putting some effort into it?

hello, today was my free day

2006-03-24T23:48:17Z

I dreamt I was pregnant and giving birth again last night. :/ Maybe it was just because of that thing where I read someone say just in passing how the humanity would cease to exist if women remembered how painful it is to give birth. Maybe it was just a way of reassuring me, because I do want a few. I never said I was a professional at decoding the subconscious, but I can very well try something. I guess.

It's funny how things happen sometimes. I was just waking up and eating breakfast (at noon), and I turned on the TV to see one of my favourite guilty pleasures. It's this really dumb show with excessively corny humour and cute boys, but what can I say? I love that and I won't deny it. So of course, I was happy, but then I was watching the first few seconds and it hit me that they were in fact replaying my favourite favouritest episode ever! The episode I wanted to record months earlier but couldn't because I was going out and the VCR decided to suck ass. Well, there's no use saying I grabbed the remote and pressed record. So, I now have the episode for my viewing pleasure (and screencaps for you because I'm freaky like that!). I have a tape ready at all times for random great TV like that. I wish I would have taped when Marc Dupre was on yesterday though, but it was too short and I wasn't fast enough. That's all right.

So um, for those of you who care to see what the show is about and why that episode in particular made me squee.

So, there are a few storylines per episode, as every good show has, but there is this one in particular about my favourite character, Jee, and his mom.

Everything starts when Jee agrees to give mouth to mouth to his best friend, Max, because the latter choked on a potato. Haha, see the corniness here? And, great timing makes so that Jee's mom shows up, which proves to be an awkward encounter for the guy, but an accepting one for his mom.

So, yes, that's basically when his mom shows up there.

Then, she's like, "it's all right, I prefer guys too, you must have got it from me." After which Jee has this really cute embarrassed expression on this face, saying "mommmmm, I'm not gay!"

Aww, I want to pet him and say it's okay, too.

So, throughout the show, Jee tries to convince his mom he's not into guys, while she tries to convince him it's not nice to be in denial. Eventually, his mom buys them matching shirts and forces them to put them on. This would be the result.

"LOVER ---> <--- LOVER" Ain't it cute? Hehe. Then, completely embarrassed, they argue about what they are going to do about the shirts. Jee mentions his mom stole their other clothes, so they can't change back. Haha! Eventually, he's just like, "just stand on my other side!" Hah, smart move, guys.

The boss (because the show is set in some office to some cracked up enterprise that "solves problems", whatev.) then shows up to talk to them and sees their shirts. A second of awkwardness follows as he tries to decide where to stand, lmao. But, I thought it was just sort of cuter out of context.

The show ends with them dancing around and singing about happiness.
...

No more comment needed, really.

So, I went to the movie theater on my own this afternoon. It was my first time at the one around here, and despite the fact that it sucks because it only plays French movies, the place is HUGE and neat and 5 minutes away from my apartment and I love it. It was still funny going on my own, but it's not like the first time that has happened to me.

I went to see She's The Man, like I promised myself I would do. It was a nice, cute funny movie, as expected, but I was just a bit disappointed in the level of slashiness. I expected much more out of a movie that is gender confused all the way through. The slash is pretty much all showed in the previews (which happens sometimes with the action scenes of a bad action movie, they show all the good parts in the preview, boo). The only other slashy part worth mentioning was when Amanda's character (still dressed as a boy) tells some guy she (he?) is crazy about him. But, that lasts about two seconds before she admits she's a girl (oh don't act like this is a spoiler, all right? it's obvious it's going to end like that). But all in all, it was a really sweet movie, exactly like every teenage romantic comedies out there, but with a slight twist, which I appreciated.

Plus I did the dishes (not at midnight!), so I can pretend it was a productive day?

foooood and mojo and things you do late at night.

2006-03-24T06:49:48Z

I've accomplished a lot of nothing in the last couple of days. Oh, and I've managed to get sick. It's nothing bad yet. I still work around food, which should scare everyone that lives close to me and decides they want fast food, haha. So in the meantime, I'm chugging orange juice like there's no tomorrow. I drank a whole carton of juice in like less than two days, I think. That's just as well, because it was best before march 1something... so, I'd better not let that lay there in the fridge too long.

Speaking of things that were in my fridge for a really long time, I had rice for dinner. My first every batch of rice, that's dated from before Val left, so it's... not old, but not fresh either. I have no idea if rice can get bad, but it still smelt like rice, so I just dumped cheese on it and put that in the microwave and it was yummy. Oh, the discoveries you make while living on your own. It's all so wonderful, of course.

I got giddy again watching the TV because Marc Dupre was on. Reason #524 why living alone is awesome: I was making these weird giggly sounds. I'm really a fangirl. But, I'm not as passionate about anything as I once was. And, that's a bit alarming to me, but I don't know if it's something I just have to let go and it will come back on it's own, or if I have to actually do something. I've lost a bit of my fangirl mojo! Maybe it will need more investigating in the future. For now I'd rather not worry about it.

I really do need to do the dishes, and it seems I will not do them before midnight. That's just as well, because like I once stated, there's something relaxing about doing the dishes at night. Curiously. I might do that, or I might waste a bit more time online. I'm particularly good at that.

Ummmm. I'm cold and hungry and so tired. Still. I just wanted to point that out because the plan for tonight is sleep first and whatever later. I'll have all my recaps of the last few days soon, I'll probably have fun typing it all tomorrow after work (because yes, they are making me come in in the morning until 5, which I've never done but I have just a tiny little feeling it's going to be one hell of a long day). And I'll leave comments during that time too because right now focusing on more than three consecutive words is really a difficult task. So yes I don't bother proof reading this thing so I'm sorry if it sounds weird.

There's nothing really extremely relevant to say, so everything can wait.

Except OH GOSH VAL IS GONE, IT'S LIKE THERE IS THIS VOID IN MY HEART.

I don't know if she's still on the plane now (but she probably is because she's going to be in the air all day long, seriously, lol), but I hope that everything goes well and I'm positive the family will welcome her very well.

ALSO, happy birthday Marie!!! She's 20 now. Whoa, 'our generation of kids' is old now.

Obviously, planning things out is not my forte. Mostly because certain things out of my control are happening and such. I thought I'd have the time to recap fun times I've had recently, but I think it will have to wait. Wait a few days (two at most, really) actually.

I went to the country bar again last night, with Val. For the last time before she left, so it was like a goodbye kind of private party (haha?), which probably made things even more fun. So, Val posted very few visuals of that night, and I'm sure she'll pass along a couple more to me (since I'm the subject of most of the pictures) and I will maybe decide to post more, who knows. But actually, while Val had fun taking picture with her new camera! I went and recorded a few songs (clips, because my camera is le suck) performed by Serge. And since it was dark and we can't see a damn thing, it's as if I recorded just audio. But that was the best part for certain things, so I'm satisfied.

So now it's mostly getting ready (or not... since I'm posting this right now) to go to the cabane a sucre with work buddies. That I'm sure will be lots of fun, too, as I'm so in the mood for good food. Oh yes. And, tomorrow I'm seeing some unknown band (hedoley rings a bell?) perform for the third or fourth time, I lost count already. So, um. Work and having fun before sleep for the weekend!

MUSIC makes the people come together what!

2006-03-17T05:59:56Z

Hello! Um, I don't even remember why I was here except for posting this music survey. Music stole my mojo!! That should be a new saying for something. Anyway, let me just drop this real fast and then I should consider going to bed.

Name your top 10 most played bands on Last.fm

1 Shane Wiebe
2 Jacob Hoggard
3 Kalan Porter
4 Hedley
5 Wilfred LeBouthillier
6 Jason Greeley
7 McFly
8 Britney Spears
9 Marc Dupre
10 Michael Buble

What was the first song you ever heard by 6? (jason) : Umm... OH I KNOW THIS ONE. 'I Won't Dance' because top 4 night on CI2 was the first episode I saw (besides the top 32).

What is your favourite album of 2? (jacob) : Hahaha. Jacob doesn't have an album out, silly. But, his band Hedley does, and technically they only have one, so the self-titled one?

What is your favourite lyric that 5 has sung? (wilfred) : "Petite fleur au coeur serree, tu ne voulais qu'etre aime" obviously, because I use it everywhere on my journal. And, then it goes on with "Par celle qui t'a donne la vie Dans le jardin de l'oubli" The whole song, actually.

How many times have you seen 4 live? (hedley) : Hahahaha oh GOD I don't even count anymore? They are the only band I've seen more than once, let's leave it at that? Well, live in concert, I'm actually only at 4 as of next Sunday.

What is your favorite song by 7? (mcfly) : Oh boy, that's a tough one. I'm going to admit that McFly has a lot of similar songs, so... I like one and I like them all! But um, I'll go with "I Wanna Hold You" and "All About You".

What is a good memory you have considering the music of 10? (buble) : Hm. Well, I remember offering ~~a copy of~~ his CD to my dad, and everytime I go there now they play it or at least mention how much they love it. I just like to give music so much.

Is there a song of 3 that makes you sad? (kalan) : Um... haha. I think maybe songs like 'Until You' or 'My Sweet One' may used to make me sad, but now the only thing that makes me sad about Kalan is his face. No joke.

What is your favorite lyric that 2 has sung? (jacob) : Okay, so because he's the lead singer of his band, technically I'll answer with Hedley lyrics. The Emcy of last summer would answer with 'too late never say, tomorrow is another day. one love, I'm one away. I never thought that I'd hear heaven say' but the Emcy for today would say um...

'And I will wait, I'll write another letter to myself
And I will find out that morning comes faster alone.'

What is your favourite song by 9? (marc dupre) : 'Tellement Belle' without a doubt.

How did you get in to 3? (kalan) : Canadian Idol, basically.

What was the first song you heard by 1? (shane) : Oh! Um, probably 'Bulletproof' on the CI2 finale?

What is your favorite song by 4? (hedley) : 321!

How many time have you seen 9 live? (marc dupre) : Zero. But he's having his very first concert in October and I'm going? Booyah!

What is a good memory you have concerning 2? (jacob) : Umm. Oh, haha. How about that time I said "OH AND CARRIE SAYS HI" and he replied with "WHO'S CARRIE?" hahahaha good times. Except the best part was when I answered with "you know, the girl with the hair, and the eyes?" and he laughed.

Is there a song of 8 that makes you sad? (britney) : Well, not especially. 'Everytime' used to, before the video clip ruined it for me.

What is your favourite album of 5? (wilfred) : Self-titled. OMG which reminds me I have to go buy his second album right fucking now! Well... not now obviously, it's past midnight, but...

What is your favorite lyric that 4 has sung? (hedley) : Oh god I'm getting this feeling of deja vu.

What is your favorite song of 1? (shane) : Oh gosh oh gosh I don't know. 'Love Is.'

What is your favorite song of 10? (buble) : 'You Don't Know Me.' I'm not sure why.

How many times have you seen 8 live? (britney) : Once. During her 'Oops... I Did It Again' tour. Oh my god, good times, haha!

What is your favorite album of 1? (shane) : Dude, he only has one.

Okay. Now, click these fabulous links there.

Door Number 1: because it's just so darn beautiful. I'm being serious.
Door Number 2: because it's so goofy and fun and great!

Tell me what you think of MC's pick of the week (or something like that, but don't count on me to make it an actual weekly thing). If you like them I promise I'll have a treat for people on my friendslist who don't know that band yet.

there's no place like... ted's pants?

2006-03-15T05:14:28Z

So yes, clearly I'm back home. At the apartment. It was very fun at my grandparents, but I definitely get that feeling that it's time to go home, now. I started getting that years ago when I go at my dad's. It's not that I'm not enjoying myself (although sometimes it was), but there's like something pulling me back home now. But, all that considered, it was loads of fun this weekend. I visited family I hadn't seen in so long. It's funny because our generation are considered 'the kids' and we all used to play together, but when I got there Sunday it was of course only talk and we were asking what was going on in our life and pretty much everyone answered with 'oh, bought a car, studying in so and so field, bought a house, etc etc.' It was just so surreal. But cool.

So, apart from seeing family members I hadn't seen in a while, I did the usual at my grandparents. I slept a lot of course, and I ATE. Oh my god, I ate so much. There's just too much food over there, it's overwhelming! I had forgotten about that, but even when I had enough, I had to go back in the kitchen to take another snack. I mean, whoa, it was crazy. They have, like, more than half a dozen boxes of chocolate covered granola bars. For what exactly, I don't know. Are they fearing the day they run out of granola bars that much? Geesh.

Then, of course, because the computer there is a dinosaur (in the bad sense of the term) and because Noel and Yvonne were borrowing my room, I had to leave the room at ten most of the time. So, I found other ways to occupy myself. You should all be proud of me for this one. I FINALLY finished the book 'Geisha'. I can't say it's my record, because I've read some Harry Potter way slower than that, but I still had that book for the longest time. Dude. But, I'm so in love with that book now. After I read the last line, I was lying in the bed, I just took the book in my arms and closed my eyes for a moment. It was that powerful. Well it seemed that way at the time at least. I loved it.

And yes, that's what it is. This week will probably be busy. Well... busy for me. Which isn't saying MUCH.

I THINK I'M GETTING DISTRACTED

2006-03-13T03:09:38Z

Alright, now that I have this slow computer to myself again. My uncle and aunt when to eat supper at other family members' house, so the only reason I won't be able to finish this entry is if they come home soon and want to sleep right away. Which I suppose only means I have to type this up quite fast. I'll concentrate on this right now, and then when I get back home, I'll back up <-120 entries so I can read all I've missed because this computer is way too annoying for that.

Okay, where did I left off yesterday? I didn't get to say much, I know. Alright, so let me get right back to Friday night, then. In the evening, I went to pick up Val and her friend Alex from the subway station. We stopped at Tim Hortons for just a bit before we went to that country bar (the one we went to two weeks ago, we can't get enough, lol). Serge was doing his thing again, as was expected. Though, this time his "thing" consisted of playing the guitar and singing in the restroom while peeing? Wow, he's one talented man. Although at first he asked someone to help him out and Val went in the restroom with just to kid around, but that was SO hilarious. It was also better for a lot of reasons, one being that when Serge went on his break, instead of getting an old guy lacking stage presence doing kareoke, they put some dance and r&b beats. So, us three got our freak on a little. It was great. The night overall was awesome, and I got serenaded to 'Suspicious Mind' again which rocks my world. It's my song now. Well, one of many.

We got to talk with the bar's owner for a while, also. It was pretty funny. Me and Val were just completely goofing off, and he called us to ask me how old I was. He thought I was 16. Well, Val too actually, which is hilarious because he was selling her alcohol. But not to me because I was driving, which he apparently couldn't believe. He was like, "Thank GOD you're not drinking!" It was pretty funny. Yes, I'm so crazay. Haha! All in all, it was great. We're going next Friday, too.

Saturday I drove back to my grandparents' like I mentioned yesterday, and this morning I ran some errands with my uncle (great uncle, technically). Well, that being 'getting him signed up to some auction 35 minutes from here' which I'm not sure if it counts, but it was one great adventure! Ha, we got lost, but considering it's me we're talking about, it was no surprise. It sure was great fun, though.

Well, I don't remember what else I wanted to write about, seriously, but now by the time I got to write all of this, Noel and Yvonne are back, so eventually I'll have to get out of here. I'll go read afterward or something. That would be very nice.

Points of interest? Maybe?

2006-03-12T05:40:45Z

Okay, I just closed the window where I wrote my pretty update because apparently I don't know how Firefox works. I'm a douche. But HEY, I'm on my brother's computer and it's so fast so I'm in heaven.

So, indeed I'm back at my grandparents' house for a couple of days. My aunt Yvonne and my uncle Noel from New Brunswick are visiting, so there was no way I wasn't stopping by for a few days at least. They are such awesome people and fun, too! Noel is so hilarious, I should record a video of one of his famous story telling if I can. That would rock.

So, my brother is requesting the use of his computer now, so I shall write more when I have the chance tomorrow perhaps.

Until then, I only have two more words. Country bar!

Idol 5 is (not) gay (enough).

2006-03-10T03:17:05Z

...........................................................

Sweet, this feels like Canadian Idol 3 all over again. NOT something I wanted to get through again. I'm totally blinded by the fact that cool people made it in right now, totally. Just at this moment, I don't really care for Chris and Elliott and who the hell else I like in the Top 12 again? Well there's Taylor who is entertaining and Kevin, but gosh did he SUCK yesterday. Can I trade them all for Will? Yes, Will gets to perform six times next week, YAY. Ha, if only I ran the show. Dude, remind me why I like this show so much again? Am I that sadistic? Moving on, moving on.

For something completely different, something I'm actually really looking forward to see is that new Amanda Bynes movie. Woot! She's The Man (click if you want to watch the trailer). For plenty of reasons, really. Because Amanda is my homegirl, my girlcrush per excellence. And, now she's dressing as a boy in that movie? Do I really need more reasons to want to get in her pants? Seriously? Another great reason to see the movie is this: it's a story about a straight girl who is pretending to be a boy. Do you know what that means? GAY GAY GAY.

stars I'm seeing stars

2006-03-09T03:16:57Z

Gosh, I can hear the crickets chirping around here. That's how quiet I've been in my own journal lately. I don't know, it's not that I've been away that long, but when I have been around, it's like I haven't really... said anything. I know I know, that 'when you haven't got anything interesting to say, just stfu' thing. Haha, actually I know that's not how it goes. It's okay, okay let me gather some information worth mentioning. Or something! But, most definitely leaning towards "something" a bit more.

I have definitely, definitely been "underproductive" lately. Like, I haven't really been able to accomplish much of anything. My to-do list is more like guidelines, nowadays. I don't know if it's sad, or if I should just enjoy it for the time being. I mean, I'll get my shit back together eventually, right? I'm sure, I'm sure. But for now, it's back to lazyville. I'm almost done with Geisha and soon I'll be able to tackle those two other books I acquired. I'm excited about that, but as a much more lower degree, I guess. Yes, I'm looking forward to it, but just taking my time and such.

My dad called just after AI tonight (haha good timing dad, wtf are you still doing up at this hour, though?), and he wants to meet up soon. That's cool. Sunday, it that is possible. We'll see. He'll call tomorrow to make things final and such. And then, next Saturday maybe (because I'm working this weekend and I'm pretty sure they are going to put me in next weekend, too), dad wanted to plan a get together with, um, I'm forgetting her name already, but an old friend of my mom's. And... that would be just so sweet. I'm not really able to explain why or how, but yeah... it would be awesome.

What else? Well, I watched Dr. Phil today. I'm always curious about this show, man, and this time it was about people having a huge obsession with celebrities and, it was definitely food for thoughts, or whatever that saying goes. I mean, I, by no means, could identify myself as that much infatuated with stars that it becomes life threatening, but I could definitely pinpoint stuff that I do or think and etc, etc. I do not fear for my safety, though. All is well. Then there was that segment about star photographer VS paparazzi? Yes, it was sure interesting. Oh dude. Speaking of celebrity photos? Everytime I see a picture of Pete Wentz now I think about his penis. Duuude, I'm so scarred. And, I'm going to see that man live in May! Dude! WTF.

weird weird things

2006-03-07T01:52:45Z

I have no idea why when I wake up from taking a nap, my feet are freezing cold. It's not like I kicked off the covers in my sleep. Sometimes it's my hands or my ears. I know I have a bloodstream problem. But, I want to know why that happens when I take short naps, but not when I sleep during the night. Weiiird.

Lays Stax are love. Sucks when advertisement are right. Bet ya can't eat just one? Damn right! Sigh, I told myself to keep them for American Idol nights because I get so bored during the commercials, so I'm like *eats*. Hahaha, I have a really bad addiction. Well, commercials are fun when Val makes her cat sings. Lmao. Fun times, gosh!

So yeah, nothing going on as I write to communicate info on my life to you. I suck at journaling. So, for lack of better things to say, here is a picture of a pumpkin baby crying. I'm not in the mood for pancakes on bunnies' head. Ahoy!

guilty pleasures oh la la

2006-03-04T08:46:35Z

I just kind of needed a good distraction. I've been wasting time here and there, but never really finding something productive that I could bring back. Then, I found that thinger lying around on my friendslist everywhere, and I thought it was a neat idea, because it's not too long to read, but very creative and free to do. And, I really love reading the explanations everyone put. So, it's a go for this meme. Sweet love!

Guilt	What is yours?	Explain yourself
Culinary:	MAYO	Oh seriously, I put mayonnaise practically everywhere. Desserts excluded, of course, but you can bet there is mayo in my sandwiches (LOTS), my potatoes, my pasta, my eggs, everywhere! I'm quite a fan of Mayogetthi, actually.
Literary:	Fanfiction	I don't know if it counts, but otherwise, I don't think I've read enough actual books to really be able to answer this one properly. If you compare the amount of words I've read in fanfiction and in books... fics would definitely come out on top. There is just something much more captivating about them. I'm not sure if it's because I usually have that extra connection with the author, or because it's usually about characters I love dearly already, but I prefer to spend a few moments (understatement) online to read what the world has to offer there.
Audiovisual:	Mr. Bean	The movie, the show, pretty much everything! Mr. Rowan is a genius! I don't think I can ever get enough of his hilarious numbers of comedy. It's the sort of thing that just never stop being funny, even if I've seen it a hundred times. Definite pick-me-up.
Musical:	Corny male French singers. Marc Dupre, Mario Pelchat, etc.	Is it a guilty pleasure if I don't feel guilty nor ashamed about it at all? I mean, I'm always pretty straight forward with my preference in music. When my favourites include Britney Spears, cheesy boybands, all Idols... there really isn't any more room to feel ashamed, is there? But, I love music of all kinds, and I feel great admitting that. I will always have a soft spot for local heartthrob singers, though.
Celebrity:	IDOLS	What can I say? I love overnight celebrities, I guess. But, to be honest, there is not a better way to fall in love with nobodies than to cram them all together and make them sing. It's a true phenomenon. Of course, there are a few that I am much more easily and more frequently attracted to, but we will not get into that now. It could take a while.

Now I tag:-

to complete this same Quiz, Its HERE.

Crazies.

2006-03-01T03:22:42Z

Sup guys! Seriously, what's going down? Oh, I just noticed how weird they sound together and I cannot understand how they can mean the same thing. You English types are wack. Although, all right, 'what is up' and 'what is going down' can be the same thing eventually, but um, that's not how I see it. I mean, I'm probably digging myself a hole right now. Wah, I better stop now.

Okay, well what is going down with me is I've just came back from an all inclusive weekend at the grandparents. It was real fun and relax. I chilled, I read a lot and then managed to not be too frustrated by the computer. It was cooperating well enough. Except for really nasty pop ups and trojan shits coming from Kazaa or other crappy programs they have on there. I just want to go one day and flush everything. It's not like my grandma will be needing any of the programs installed. I still have to show her how to do a virus scan, and frankly, I don't even have that on my computer, and it's pretty clean. Ah well, what do I know about computers, anyway? I'm more of a net and maybe graphic wiz on my good days.

And, since I'm kind of really into reading lately, I went to the bookstore to buy myself two books. One, 'Middlesex,' because it's from the same author that brought one of my favourite books, and I've heard only good about this one. And, the other... well the other is a peculiar choice, really. It sparked my interest because of this quote:

"Which item could you not live without?
I could never be without my favorite book "The Four Agreements". I've both read it and given it as a gift countless times because it does so much for me."

Then, I went to amazon.com, I think. That website that lets you read the first few pages of a book? Yes, well that place. And, it was interesting enough. I'm totally curious about it now, and would love to read it all. So now I will. It's pretty exciting and in a way, kind of hilarious? Only if you know who said that quote and why I'm using it... which I'm not going to get into actually, but it has to do with an alternate universe. And, the icon I'm using is no coincidence.

Haha, what? I call it character research.
