NEVER MIND I FOUND IT EVERYTHING IS OKAY NOW. (If you don't understand this little announcement, see the post below).
Can an old man be dilapidated? I'm not entirely sure. I'll ask Junior, I suppose. *Asks Junior*. He says, "Yes? They can be run down." THEN, he went on to say that you can have a slave old man with worn out knees and such, with something about support beams for arms? Sigh. Typical Junior answer.
So, nothing is really new! Junior, Thomas, Pop, and I went fishing yesterday. It was freezing for most of the day, and sunny for about an hour and a half around noon. Of course, it went back to being cold right after that. Pop and Thomas went down with the boat around eight or so, and Junior and I followed around ten. We were all out on the water until about two in the afternoon. None of us caught A THING. It was awful! Loads of fun, though. I think the only we hooked was the bottom.
OH! We got a couple of nibbles on our hooks, but no fish.
What did I do today, some may wonder? I went to work! With eleven and twelve years olds! It was wonderful! I can't believe I want to be a teacher. Kids screaming at each other, complaining about doing their work (even if all they have to do is draw a picture)... But all of that is just dandy! I like working with kids. One benefit? We, the teachers/teachers' aides get to have some fun too. For example, today, we got to see a French opera. Cool? I think so. Also, next month, we're having a school-wide picnic. I LOVE PICNICS. I'm so excited!
Gah, I think this is enough from me today. I'm getting sick and I can hardly stand up as it is. Typing is just one thing that I don't want to worry about right now. Until next time!

Hey all, it's me Waldon. I actually posted a blog here last night, but for some reason it didn't show up. That's exasperating. So, I'm writing another blog tonight to hopefully make up for it!
As anybody who reads this blog regularly will have noticed by now, (If you haven't, you're lacking something vital. :P) we're not updating regularly. There have just been too many things on the go for us to keep on top of the blog like we should. And for that, I offer my most sincere apologies and hopefully you can all find it in your heart to forgive us. Please, I hope nobody has been disappointed in us, and at myself in particular. I know I alone have sorely slipped in my responsibility to the blog.
And now, onto the actual meat of the blog!
Today has been a fairly normal day, I suppose. I drove down shortly after 8 to pick of Bre, and so by about 8 40 we were waiting in the school parking lot for the bell to ring.
First period today I had english. I love english class. :P I spent all period writing out my interpretation of the irony involved in a short story's title. I think I wrote about 300 words or so?
Next was Nutrition class, where we watched a video on... ummm... something about the worlds most famous foods brands and similar? :S We watched a segment on BBQ and Chocolate, and by the end of that I was very, very hungry. xD
Then it was Recess. Nothing happened really. :P
After that it was the start of my double math period. We're pretty much done all of our material, so we're reviewing for the next few weeks. Suffice to say, I was reading for about 2 hours. :P
In the middle of those two periods, I had lunch. Where I had to go to a dance rehearsal that nobody told me about. I wasn't even needed. I shouldn't even have to point out that making me give up my lunch for something that I wasn't needed for is an easy way to rally my chagrin.
Last period I had art class. Thank god for Art Class. Ms Edmunds didn't get any primer for me to paint over the log I'm going to be painting on, so I had a free period to sit back and do what I liked. So Sandra and I battled and traded Pokemon for about an hour. We're cool kids, you know it. :P
Then, after school I stayed in for an hour to wait for Bre to finish tutoring so that I could give her a ride home. I enjoyed it, actually. :) I got to relax in the nice quiet library for a little while. If I had my music, it would have been perfect.
Then I drove Bre to her Nan and Pops, and then commenced with my night of tooling around and doing nothing. :P
So, without further adieu. Goodnight!
-Waldon
Waldon here, and sorry about missing the blog last night. It's been a weird few weeks and frankly I forgot about it. I was helping Bre babysit her brother and sister last night until around 11 and by the time I had gotten home I had completely forgotten about it. :P
So, today Bre and I woke up a bit early so that we could go out for breakfast together. :) It was nice! We tried to go to one place, but it was full up. So instead we went to A&W. xD It was still good though. So afterwards I went to Bre's house for a while while she cleaned up her room. We were there for around an hour or two. Closer to two, I think. So whenever it was, we then proceeded to her Nan and Pop's for around another hour or so. After leaving there we went to her Dad's house for a bit.
After that, we went to my house until around 5 30 where we sat around and talked about nerdy things and... oh my god. I didn't have any music on! That's like the first time in months I haven't had music on, even just as ambiance,
I'm losing my mind. :S
After supper was a rush. xD
I had time to eat a hotdog after dropping Bre home before I had to drive down and get her again. Then we went to Ryan's house so that we could figure out what we were doing to get to his cabin, since I had never been there before. So Bre and I quickly picked some stuff up at her Dad's house and then picked up Vlad and went to Ryan's cabin behind him.
So there Bre and I were for the rest of the night. We watched a few episodes of Family Guy with everybody (Who included Thomas, Katherine, Patrick, Meghan, Ryan, Scottie, Kendall, Vlad and of course Bre and Myself :P ) and then turned on "I know pronounce you Chuck and Larry". We had a bunch of chips and sandwiches and pretzels and soda and water and sparkling water and hickory sticks... Man, it was great. xD
Normally, I dislike crowds of people. They make me anxious and tense. As well as just people in general... I think the word is Anthropophobia...? But tonight wasn't so bad. I was out in the woods, so that kind of nullified the fear of people. :P
About the title. In Bre's blog, she said it wouldn't be likely that we'd be writing anything tonight since we just got back from Ryan's cabin, but I missed last night's blog instead and I'm doing it tonight. I'm defying all expectations! xD
So, now, I think I'm going to go to bed. I'm really tired. Good night all!
-Waldon
Waldon here, and guess what? :P
Almost everything I have to do is done! I've got one more night of dance left, and then it's just a few assignments and then back to my job! I can't wait! Sure, there'll be exams, but I can handle those. I can study in my free time after I get all my events and stuff done with.
I'm sick of having stuff to do. When we got back from Euro Trip, there was Drama Fest three days later. We got back from Drama Fest and suddenly it's Bre and I's Graduation. Now, not even two days after THAT, I have four consecutive nights of dancing. I'm beat out. >.<
I just don't find dancing as interesting as I used to, sadly.
So, last night (as I mentioned) I was dancing. Between acts, I was walking out to the lobby to get a drink while the audience was watching another show. Just as I opened the main lobby door, two little girls ran and tackled said door from the opposite side. Why? I still don't know. They just stood by the door and whispered after I gathered myself back up and walked on. Now, I wasn't expecting this at all. My forehead was expecting it even less. :P Now, I still have a headache and those two girls didn't even apologize for about a hundred pounds of force being applied to my cranium. Very unpleasant, I assure you. xD
HOLY CRAP.
MR DUCKLES IS EVOLVING.
HE'S DOING IT!
HE'S ALMOST DONE!
HE'S THERE!
I'VE NOW GOT ONE GINORMOUS BIRD!
Sorry about that. I've been playing Pokemon. Mr Duckles is one of my Pokemon. He is single-wingedly more awesome than almost every one of you. :P
Now. On with the post! xD
Today, was a good day I think. I started off normally enough, with the picking up and Bre and such. Then we went to school, where I had Nutrition first (I made Ice Cream, which I gave to Bre) and then double Math (Where I finished my book) followed by Art and then History (Where I played Pokemon with Sandra!). It was a good day.
I seriously hope you people don't believe I really don't do ANYTHING in school. I do do work. I just prefer not to talk about how I'm doing review Trig in math, or doing multiple choice in History.
After school, Bre and I picked up Sandra and picked up her brother a few things. He was hurt yesterday and I send my condolences to him and his concerned ones! Then Bre and I went to the Co Op where she picked out some stuff to make a cake for her dad. Then we dropped into the greenhouse where I'll be restarting work next week. I've got this weekend to finish everything off before I start.
Then this evening I was at the Theatre with the children's Dance group again, and our show went off almost perfectly. The two little girls we were acting with were a little hasty and premature with a few lines, but that's understandable, they're only just starting. Actually, for their age, they're doing remarkably well. In fact, they're better than quite a few of the improv actors I've met. :P
Still, I'd like to work with them some more and see if I can get some new ideas across.
Now, this evening I spent playing pokemon and reading up on my Math Placement Test. I think I'll head on to bed now though... Good night everybody!
-Waldon
Waldon here. And I truthfully have no idea how long it's been since my last post on here. It would be... close on to a week ago now? :P Hopefully I can get back into the rhythm of this stuff as soon as this weekend is over.
I've got quite the busy week ahead of me, I've got 4 dance recitals next week, and graduation this weekend. It's going to be rough. But it'll be over soon, and then I just have to worry about going back to work and the end of school year exams. xD
Maybe I should explain where I was this past week or so, shouldn't I? I probably already explained it last time I was on, but I figure that once more couldn't hurt. This past week ( since last Wednesday), I've been out to the Provincial Drama Festival. Over the course of the 5 days, I managed to spend about $400 - $500, get seriously sick, and win an award for "Exceptional Acting in a Supporting Role" (and getting compliments on my voice!) xD
I bought "Oblivion IV", which so far is AMAZING. It's like Fallout 3, but mashed with LOTR! It's great! I seem to have gained a new addiction. :P
So, I got home Sunday evening, and I was having a really crappy day for a couple reasons... I can't even remember them now. :S I was really angry when I got into the airport. So I went home and such. Bre came up and paid a surprise visit, the sweetheart. :) It was great. She cheered me right up. I love seeing Bre around. She always gets me to smile when I'm angry and stuff. xD
Now, today we resumed classes in school. Bre and I both. (Bre was gone for a trip too! But I don't know much about it, so she might tell you sometime if she feels like it) Today was long. Needless to say, I suppose. I've effectively been gone since before Easter Break. Home just long enough between my two trips to realize that I had to pack again and go. :P
First period I had Nutrition. I spent a good portion of that class reading, since I already had the assignment my teacher passed out finished a few weeks ago. Then I had math for a double period. Oh, today was a delayed opening as well, so the two periods were back to back. It wasn't bad. I finished a full assignment that Mr Lawrence had assigned us while we were gone. It was a good go, I think. :P
After those two periods, I had Lunch. I played Pokemon all lunch, I'm not ashamed to admit it. Then Art came, and I spent all class goofing off and talking to people. It was fun. Then I had world history. In world history, one of my troupe and I, we were involved in the children's dance as acting, had to go to the theatre and pick out the costumes we'd be wearing during the show. We got them all done, I think. :)
Then after school I went over to Bre's for a bit. That was nice. :) I liked it a lot, actually. I love just relaxing and sitting there. Remember everybody. If you don't MAKE time to relax, then you'll never get any. Besides. Science has proven that you get more work done if you take at least a 30 minute "You time" period during the day. ;) True fact. I'm not just trying to be lazy. :P
Then, after supper Glad and I walked to Tims and I ate a lot. That was pretty cool. xD
Now, Bre just went to bed, so there's really no reason for me to stay up anymore. Good night everybody. :)
-Waldon
Waldon here, and tomorrow is the big day. :P
But first, the title. The title is from a well loved band of mine called "Rise Against" (not to be confused with "Rage Against The Machine"). The song is "Prayer of the Refugee". Wonderful song, open your ears to it sometime.
So, at 5 PM tomorrow, our Eurotrip group will be boarding the plane towards our Hub flight, where we'll start on our transatlantic flight to Europe! Now, I know a couple people involved who aren't excited for it, now me, that's the exact opposite of what I'm feeling. :P I can't wait to be on my way and see what Europe has to offer. I want to see what types of trees there are, and what kind of life there is over there!
I want to see what kind of birds I can see on the way overland, I want to see the species of trees I can spot, or what kind of small mammals or lizards or whatever I can spot once we land. :P, I REALLY hope I'm awake when our plane reaches the coast. I want to see that. The shoreline of Europe in the early morning. Picturesque, I'm sure. :)
Now, before I get too sidetracked talking about how much I'm looking forward to the Old World beauty I'll soon see, I'll talk about my day. :P
Today it was Shakespeare's Birthday (According to School xD) and a bunch of people dressed up as Shakespearean persona's and went the day as that. I dressed up as Horatio. Which isn't actually that difficult. I mean, he doesn't really HAVE a set costume. I looked like a peasant. :P I wore tights, and a tunic with a rope belt. Barefoot too. The tights were a sight to see, I assure you. xD
At fourth period, our theatre troupe was asked to put on a performance for the school. The energy was really high, it was great! :D I love it when the audience is responsive. :) The actors react to that, we feed off the audience, if they're having a good time, we're doing better. It went off almost completely without a hitch, which almost NEVER happens in a performance. :P
Then, after that, I spent the remainder of the day in the school library.
After school, I went down to Bre's house for a little bit, and we worked on her new iPhone ( I think that's what it was? :S) and got it all configured and such. :P
Then I ate supper and tooled around all night. Now. Here I am I suppose. :P Since I don't really have much to say, I'll say good night, and I'll be hoping for all the happy travels I can get! Send Bre and I some good wishes!
-Waldon
Waldon here, and tonight's wonderful title comes from a band I mentioned in one of my previous posts, Manowar. It's from one song called "Brothers of Metal". As anybody who's familiar with the band will know, they brought the real epic to metal. I personally think that they're some of the greatest pioneers of the sound of metal and actual storytelling in metal and hard rock. Now, I could be missing bands completely, but that's just my opinion. Anybody who reads this and knows of bands that have a similar sound or dynamic, I'd love to hear about them. Leave a comment or something, I'll make sure to get back to you. :P
Now, for today.
Today was Grad Skip Off day at our school. So I stayed home all day. It was great. :P I spent almost all day reading comic books. (Yeah, I'm a nerd.) I went out around 3 o clock with Bre to go to the Hospital so I could get my medications that I needed checked up on. My GP is out of town apparently, so I can't get every medication that's recommended for my trip to Europe, but I've got everything else, and the likelihood that I'm going to leave my pancreas in another country is very low. :P I think I'm safe. xD
After our visit to the hospital, Bre and I went around town looking for a good pair of walking shoes for her while we're over there. We ended up seeing Mandy at her work, and picking out a pair of shoes for somebody else. :P
Then, we went to the pharmacy near the store and looked for some of those Dr Scholl's-esque shoe soles instead of buying a brand new pair of shoes. While we were there, we saw a couple people we knew, actually. It was great, I saw my Troupe's Director, Bre saw a friend of hers, and we both met up with Sandra who was out for a walk. :D Sandra is great. xD She makes me laugh all the time. Then, I bought a few books that I eyed on the shelves and Bre bought her soles, and off we went.
I drove Bre to my home then, she got in HER vehicle and off SHE went. :P And then I ate some delicious burgers. My god. Those burgers were great.
Bre came over again after supper, and we ended up just hanging out and listening to music all night. Talking is one of my favorite things to do, you know? Or more specifically, listening. I love just listening to people. Fuel for my creative fire usually comes from fragments of other people's conversations. xD
Now, I think I'm done. I'm REALLY tired now. Good night Everybody!
-Waldon
Waldon here and it's now Sunday morning. : P And the title tonight comes from a song by Great Big Sea, a song called "French Perfume". I love Celtic Folk music xD I love most music, really.
This SHOULD have been a Saturday night blog, but I suppose Sunday morning is close enough.
I had a pretty good day today, it started off early, sadly. I had a practice with my troupe today. We have a performance on the 20th for Bre and I's school. Is that grammatically correct? Anyway. I think that's Wednesday. No! It's Tuesday!
I'll find out before then. xD
This afternoon I spent reading several new webcomics, and then Bre came over and we read a few Cracked articles and ate some chips. It was great. :)
Then I drove Bre home and had some supper. It was Spaghetti! I love spaghetti. Who doesn't? :P
Bre came over again after supper. But before that we drove around for an hour or so. It was great, I think I clocked about 60 to 80 kilometers in total in about an hour and a half? xD K So we turned on the TV and started watching some stuff. First I think it was ... oh lord. I can't even remember now. That shows how interesting it must have been. :P Then after another show or so, Rush Hour 2 came on. It was great xD I love any movie with Jackie Chan in it. The bloopers are GREAT. Chris Tucker makes me laugh too. : P
So, now it's just about 12 40 AM, and I'm really too tired to elaborate on any of these points more than I already have because I've been up since about 6 AM. That's 18 hours guys. That's a lot of hours. xD
So... Good night Everybody!
-Waldon
Waldon here, tonight's only going to be a quick post, sadly. Bre is really tired and not feeling so great, so I'll just be doing a filler post for us tonight. :P I'm pretty tired myself, so I doubt this will be longer than a few lines. I'm sorry!
Oh, and the song title tonight is "The City Is At War" by Cobra Starship. :P Odd song, but I like it. :P
Today was pretty average, I think. I didn't really do much in school myself, although both Bre and I put in our orders for our Grad Sweaters. They look nice. :)
Oh! And tonight I got to go hang out with Bre for an hour. I absolutely loved it. :) We sat around and watched the news and talked. It was excellent!
So, I really can't type too much more, I'm kind of distracted feeling right now. xD Good night everybody!
-Waldon
PS. Please feel better soon Bre, I miss you being around to talk to. It's not the same without you around here. ;) :)
Waldon here tonight. I'm sure I've got multitudes of happy readers eagerly leaning closer to their screens to get a closer look at my life altering words. My flow and tenacity lending an unearthly feel to the writing, yes?
I'm sure. Yes. That is exactly what's happening. :P
I started off today feeling kind of ... bleh. No particular reason. I just felt gross. Not sick gross, you know? That kind of gross where you just want to sit down and vegetate. xD
I spent the morning on computer going through some random stuff. Nothing really caught my attention. Then I had an excellent dinner of caribou, town grown carrots, potatoes, and corn. It was a good dinner. :P
After dinner I took my dog for a walk. That poor guy has both of his hind legs hurt, and he finds it incredibly difficult to hold himself up for long periods of time. When he was about a year old, he was hit by a car, then my family overfed him and now he's overweight. All that weight threw out both of his hips while he was running at separate times. That dog is the most amazing dog in the world for still loving being out and around with what he has to go through. Send him your love guys, he needs it.
I came home eventually, and then I walked down to Bre's house. I love walking. I don't do nearly enough of it anymore. Although, I think I scare people when I'm walking sometimes. I swagger a little when I'm walking, I know because I walk like my dad. :P And on top of that I look angry when I'm not paying attention to what my face is doing. xD My director has the same problem. But with him it's hilarious, because he has a scar on the bridge of his nose and on his eyebrow and everything. He's just so mean looking, but he's oldest 16 year old I've ever met. xD
Then I got to Bre's house, we spent the afternoon trucking around dropping things off and whatnot. By "Trucking things around" though, you know exactly what I mean.
I mean dinosaur swashbuckling of course.
I personally boarded a rival pirates brontosaurus. The unlucky men were in my land. This was my zone, my plunder. How dare they take that? Was our flag meaningless? My trusty crew roped the enemy 'saur and claimed it as our own. Amidst the booming of the great dinosaur borne cannons, I mounted the blood frenzied T Rex I called my own, and together we attacked the enemy in our territory. The screams and shouts of our scared and battle gored enemies were as fuel to our pirating fire!
I saw him! The infamous Captain McLeeward! He was known to me, and for many years he had been infringing upon my routes, my booty. He would now be dealt with, it seemed. He too, knew this as a duel of the fates! He jumped from his great Brontosaur, and with a great shout, was struck from my sight!
I narrowed my eyes, he would never jump from his ship without a reason...
There he was again. He had a Battle Rex of his own!
I lashed the reins of my mighty Sebastion! My trusty Rex who had carried me through countless raids! We charged the dubious Captain, and what came from that fateful encounter would change the face of the world!
Great roars! A flashing of sabers! Corsairs adorning our heads, flowing jackets behind! We rushed forward! The world went silent, it seemed. Or perhaps our noise was just so incredible it drowned out the world. I could see the entirety of everything flashing before my eyes.
It was over.
As we stood amongst the slain foes of our valiant and bloody attack, the setting sun forever immortalized our figures, a site that both my crew, and the few survivors of the once famous Captain McLeeward's crew saw me and Sebastion against the glaring fire of the great eye, and will remember it. They will tell their children. And their children's children. And forward it will go, until I am legend.
Yet, never will the legend grow to be more incredible than the event. This cannot be surpassed.
It was glorious. Victory was ours, and honor will be had for all my men (and women of course.) and their progeny. This will go down in the record books as the day I lived to my true potential.
And now you too, know.
