Hello all! It's Waldon here tonight, and we may not have posted last night, but I'm here now to wish you all a merry Christmas eve. :) I know some of you may not celebrate Christmas, or even place much value on it if you do, but this is one of those holidays (actually, I'm a fan of Holidays in general xD) that I can really get behind. :P

I love Christmas. It gives me an excuse to be pleasant to people without them thinking I'm just trying to get something from them. It gives me an opportunity to show my friends how much they mean to me with a gift, even if that's just by buying them a small gift and wishing them well. The whole Holiday is one of goodwill and cheer, and I love it!

EDIT: I actually had a paragraph talking about how amazing Bre was tonight when she stood up in front of the church and did a reading for the congregation here. She hates reading in front of people, but she did it with aplomb, and I was so proud of her. :)

I don't get too much goodwill and cheer over the course of a year, but I've surrounded myself with wonderful people who I'm happy to share my life with for all the support and friendship that they share with me. Hopefully, I share some of it with you too. So, to all my friends, the people I consider my family, thank you, you've been more to me than I'd ever have a right to ask for. :)

Especially you, Bre. I truthfully can count the number of days on one hand that we haven't managed to be in contact somehow, to actually communicate or hear the others voice, over the past year. She's been the best of friends that a significant other can ask for; and with the coming of the new year we'll have been together for almost a full year. A wondrous milestone for the both of us. :)

So, I'm off now, I'm going to try and get a hold of Bre and all my friends to share my night with, hopefully you all will too. Somebody out there loves every single one of you, and I sincerely hope you know who they are, because they're the most important person you'll ever meet. So go find them, tell them you love them and give them a hug or something. :P Gods bless every one of you! Merry Christmas everybody! :)

Golly! He'd chuck all the wood that a wood chuck could chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood. Isn't that a mouthful? I just tucked Bryton in and, as usual, he wanted to talk. He asked me about tongue twisters. we came up with that one and the Peter Piper one. I like the Peter Piper one, myself. It's fun to say!

"Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, then where's the pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?"

Say that ten times fast!

Today was okay. I woke up and ate and stuff. After my shower, I wrapped some Christmas presents with Britt. Well, kind of with Britt. She sat there and told me off for about 45 minutes about how I was wasting her day. Oh, how I love her. She wrapped a couple, haha. But! She wrapped them very well! Junior came down to pick us up shortly after one... Or was it 1:30? I don't remember... Anywho, he picked us up, we dropped off some presents to Nan and Pop, then we dropped Britt off at Dad's. After that, we went shopping. :)

At one of the stores, I picked up a can of spaghetti and meatballs for myself. Junior warmed it up for me when we got back to his house. What a sweetheart. :)  Theeeen, we chilled out and I played Sims. I started a new file, so Junior is helping me make a house. I love it! So far, it has... Walls... And a door... And a bedroom... And half of a kitchen! We got halfway through making the kitchen when it was time for me to go home, hehe.

Junior brought me home and, since then, I haven't done that much. I ate, helped Mom with Brooke's dress, and knit a bit. Oh! I let Bryton watch part of the movie "Up!" on my computer before he went to bed. He had to stop 58 mins 29 secs in, though, because it was bedtime. That's okay! He's allowed to finish it tomorrow. :)

To be honest, that movie makes me cry! I just think it's so sad... If you don't know what I'm talking about, go watch it. It's a great movie, don't get me wrong! It just depresses me. However, it can be quite funny. Like Doug the dog. He makes me giggle. :)

Well, I think this is it for me! I need to wake up early to bring Junior to an optometrist appointment. He won't be able to drive afterward because he needs to get drops in his eyes. SO! I said I can drive him there and back again. Yay for kindness! Anywho! Good night!

- Bre :)

Waldon here! It's been too long! I apologize, but! I'm not really sorry. :P Yeah, I needed a break, Bre needed a break, so we took one. Bre got sick right after her exams, so I spent the week trying to help her feel better. And frankly, the blog doesn't take precedence in a situation like that, sorry.

But now we're back! Hopefully for a good while. :)

So! Today! Today I woke up early, started playing Dragon Age 2 and continued as such until about 1030. Then, I got a shower, played more Dragon Age, ate, and then shoveled. Excitement abounds!

Whoa. I just got about 3 (What seem to be have been delayed) texts from Glad. I suppose our phones are being jerks again. I'll ask her about it.

After shoveling, I went down to Bre's house and got her, then we went out shopping. I picked up all the bags for my presents, and now I've just got one left to get. :)

I've got to pick up some cards tomorrow too... Hmm...

After the shopping, Bre and I came back to my house for a bit, and then I dropped her home. I managed to get all my presents sorted out therein. It was good. :P

After supper I took Gunner for a walk and got completely frozen. Enough said about that. :P Then I went down to Bre's house with her and helped her with her Christmas card. :P That was fun :)

Now, here I am. I have no idea what I'm doing now. So, I bid you adieu! Good night!

Waldon here again guys, it's getting ridiculously hectic here now, if you couldn't tell. Bre and I have been swamped for the past few weeks, and everything is catching up to us now. I feel that it's only polite for me to inform you that our updating schedule will probably be as sporadic as it is now for the next little bit. Probably until close to the 12 days of Christmas, actually.

Yeah, so I have to get at my math assignment again, because I can't seem to get any of it done. :S I'll say good night for now, and hopefully I'll get a full post up within the next little bit!

Good night everybody!
-Waldon

Waldon here! Hey guys! Just a post to let you know we haven't abandoned the blog, but we're both swamped with work! :( Hopefully we'll get everything back on track soon, but until thin you'll have to get used to these sporadic posts! I'm sorry!

So! A quick recap of the past two weeks!

It started snowing! Finally! It's about -10 degrees Celsius here right now, I think. I love it. xD

Bre and I are in our last 2 weeks or so of class before final exams for this semester, so we've been getting deluged in work and assignments for the past week or two. I don't like having to skip the blog, but between doing this and making sure I get a proper education, you know what I'll pick, sadly. Even though I don't like school, I understand it's importance. So I GUESS I'll stick with it. :P

We've both been feeling ridiculously stressed the past few days, and I know I don't have it in me to keep writing. Poor Bre is having a hard time with everything. :( She couldn't even get on the site to write this earlier. Nothing seems to be working out. Dx

I guess I'll get off for now, I'll be on again as soon as I can? Good night all!
-Waldon

Hey all! It's Waldon tonight, and I've got some exciting news. I got back from the cabin last night. :P It was great! Bre and I went to bed really early on Thursday night (Which is why there was no blog, btw) and we were up for 5 30 AM on Friday and I picked her up at 6 30 AM and we were on the road to my cabin at 7. :P

We got there around 10 30 (It's a couple hundred Kilometers away) and my mom and dad were there just before us, so they got the fire going and we all said goodbye and all that good stuff. Then they went off to go check dads traps, while Bre and I stayed at the cabin. We stayed overnight, and although there were some issues with the fire at one point, (i.e. it wouldn't stay lit (Stupid stovepipe draft >.<) ) and some generator problems caused by it's exhaust, we figured everything out in fairly short order and we had a good time. :) We played a lot of cards. xD We had planned to get to homework while we were up there, but I love the cabin, so I refuse to mar its image with homework. :P

 It's so quiet! And relaxing. I absolutely adore it up there. I spent an inordinate amount of time just staring out the window or at the fire. xD Bre spent a lot of her time doing the same thing I did. :P We started playing cards after supper, and I don't think either of us realized the time until about 10 30 or 11 PM and then it hit us that we'd been up for almost 18 hours. xD Yeah, so then we went to bed. Bre got cold a few times, so I re-lit, re-fueled and stoked the fire a few times over the course of the night. But that's cool, I don't mind that stuff. I wake up fairly easily, and getting a fire started is always a relaxing thing to do when it's not life or death. :P

We both woke up around 10 or 1030 AM, and we got a quick breakfast and started cleaning up. :) We got the cabin back into as pristine as it gets, and packed up all the food and stuff and got ready to leave for home again, sadly. :( I don't think Bre's parents were quite ready to let her stay at my cabin for any longer than that. :P I took a quick opportunity to shoot the tops off two trees and a can of milk with the 12 gauge while I could, cause I doubted I'd get a chance to get any partridges while I was driving back. It didn't seem like good weather for the birds to be on the road. :P It was kind of disappointing. I DO love those tasty little woodland animals. xD

We started driving around 1 15 PM or so, and got home around 4 30. I love those long drives with Bre. They get silly, and silly is always fun. :P

I definitely have more stories about the cabin, but I have wo

Now today, Bre and I have both been working hard at our homework that's due tomorrow, so! I'll get back to you all soon! Good night all!

Hey! Tonight's title comes from the song "Listen to the music" by the Doobie Brothers. I'm not going to lie, that's the only quote I can remember from it at the moment. :P

Yeah, so I've been out sick from school today, and it felt absolutely horrible. I woke up this morning at about 2 AM and then again at about quarter to four, that's when I decided that medication of a sort would be appreciated. I fell asleep again around 5. Then, I woke up around 7 30 to get ready for school, and by 8 o clock I went upstairs to get a shower. Within that half an hour I decided that having incredible dizzy spells and nauseating stomach pains combined with a head congestion worthy of Thor, that I would not be going to school. :P It was like I was suffering under the iron fist of the Triumvirate of Ick. Yeah. I don't think I'm making much sense tonight.

But that's okay.

Anyways. Nothing much really happened today. Bre came to visit me around 10 AM, which cheered me right up. Then I spent the rest of the day working at my math assignment that's due tomorrow that I was supposed to learn how to finish in class this morning. Alas.

Then, Bre came over after supper for a little bit, and we both got a tentative approval for a trip to my cabin this weekend! It's great! I love going up to the cabin. You can hear all the sounds of Loons and what I THINK are Harlequin ducks out on the pond. There are Whiskeyjacks/Grey Jays'/White Crowned Sparrows all around the cabin, and squirrels are always out on the deck chittering around. It's just a nice sounding place. :) Hopefully I'll have my hunting license by this weekend, so if I see any partridges on the way I'll have something to make for supper with our kraft dinner. :P

Anyways, I think I'm going to go on to bed now. I know that staying up late to work on a blog after being sick isn't good for you. :P

Good night all!
-Waldon

Waldon here, and tonight's title comes from none other than our very own wonderful Bre. :P I just asked her what the title should be, and she replied with that wonderfully obscure and esoteric title. Esoteric being the word of the day. Go look it up!

I should probably explain why it's funny, shouldn't I? :P You see, one of our lab instructors is from Lebanon, and he's just the right blend of Creepy, Awkward, Helpful and Foreign. Needless to say, he's one of my favorite teachers. Possibly THE favorite. :P He's been living in North America for over 20 years now. The first two decades in Texas, where he learned Spanish as well as English. He also knows French and Arabic, because Arabic is his native tongue and he did French in school. :P So, of course his speech mannerisms are kind of... odd. xD My favorite saying from his is "As sure as the sun will be in the sky...." Meaning, "Of course it's going to happen/It's almost certain/It's going to be, etc...." It just sounds so epic. Just say it sometime in conversation, and you'll feel like you're saying something out of an old storybook. :P

School has been killer the past few weeks. You might have been able to tell from the sporadic update schedule. In fact, I'm falling asleep as I write this. But Bre has been worried about me the past few days, I know, so I want to try to stay up for a little longer so that she doesn't worry as much. If I ever go to bed before 11, people tend to get nervous. With my recent heart issue, I've been monitored around the clock. Hopefully it won't happen again, but I'll admit the attention is nice. ;)

(P.S. I'm not faking a heart condition, FYI. That was a joke. Please don't think I'm that horrible of a person)

Now, I think I have to find something to do other than work for a little bit. I've got to ask Rami about my Bio writeups due Friday tomorrow, so I'll get those both finished tomorrow. Tonight I think I'll work on some poetry that isn't lame couplets. :P

Good night all!
-Waldon

Waldon here, and tonight's title comes from the song "High Voltage" by Linkin Park. I like it because it just seems witty to me. :P I'm just weird like that. xD

Yeah, so, a couple things happened over the past few days that's seriously messed up my schedule. Firstly;

The other night I was about to check some files on my external hard drive, and after I plug it into the USB slot a message box with the word "Formatting" shows up. I have no idea what's happening and then it suddenly finished. My hard drive has two partitions now, and everything on it was deleted. I'm very unhappy with this development. I had almost 2 years worth of short stories and poetry that I've written that I didn't have on my Mac because I thought, 'well, what possibly could go so wrong that all of my data would suddenly be deleted?' and now it's gone. I lost all of my writing, all of my pictures, a lot of photography and a LOT of music. About 6000 songs or so, I believe. Possibly more. The worst though? I had about 7 poems written for Bre for christmas, I lost all of them. :

Anyway, that passed, it (unfortunately)  happened. Then, something ELSE happened. I laid down to go to sleep and I felt my heartbeat getting pretty fast. I thought that I was just cutting off my circulation, but I'm sure you all know me well enough by now to know that I never make it off that easy, health-wise. :P My heart kept beating faster and faster, until suddenly I could see my chest moving a good bit when I looked down. That's when I tried to sit up.

Yeah, I could hardly see at all. My vision went VERY blurry, and really dark. And light. You'd have to see it to understand. Actually, you'd have to NOT see it. It was almost like an absence of light or dark. So, reasonably, I figured it was my diabetes doing something to me, and when I finally managed to haul myself out of bed to check my blood, my legs were really weak. I forced myself upstairs and my heartbeat evened out. So, that was good. My blood was good too. :P

I went to the hospital yesterday to get looked at, and I got a a full body EKG done to see what my heart rate was. Then I got bloodwork and stuff done. The doctor came back and pointed out that on my heart rate chart, I had one beat that had a slope instead of a straight line. So she told me that it might be some sort of blockage or something in my heart at the worst. In the worst case scenario, I've got to get Heart Surgery. In the best case scenario, I got a good story to tell people. :P

I was supposed to hear back from the doctors again today, but I never got a call. xD

So, this evening I spent with Bre. :) It was great! We watched Watchmen and gawped over Sims. :P But first we had to run to the store with Britt for Bre's mom to pick up some stuff. I carried four 9.7 Kg shelves. :P

I carried the four shelves, through a crowded store, out to a truck that was in the rain, after recently being diagnosed with a Heart condition. Man, I just one upped ALL OF YOU. Well, maybe not all of you. Probably just a couple. I mean, the shelves weren't actually too large. Or heavy. So you know. Hopefully it's a good boast. xD It's fine, you can ignore my attempts at boasting.

And yeah, that's right. We watched the Watchmen.

Any other nerds out there? Anybody? xD Yeah. Oh well, if you don't get it, at least I got it. :P This week has just been a hard week in school, and I think Bre and I both needed a night off. That doesn't mean the rest of the weekend is free of course. It just means that I have to space my work out more efficiently.

I think I'm helping Bre with something tomorrow? Or we're hanging out? I sure hope so... it's weird not having her around. I end up always trying to say stuff to her and she's not there. :P Am I the only person that does that? xD

Yeah, there's more to say, but I'm tired. Good night all!
-Waldon

Waldon here, and I'm going to be honest. I feel really depressed right now so I doubt this is going to be longer than a few paragraphs at most. There's no rational reason to why I feel depressed, in fact, I should be happy. Gunner hurt his other leg a few weeks ago and now he's finally doing better. Within a week or two I should be able to walk him again. I'm ahead in Math for once in my life, and I haven't even been beaten by anybody too much lately. Heck, I've even started a new exercise regime.

It's just nigh on impossible to shake this feeling of apathetic melancholy, if the ken of that can be thought.

I had a regular day, save for a late morning. I made it to Bre's house on time though, so nothing really came of it. We went to school, all that jazz. We worked Canteen today, Bre and I, and instead of Hot Dogs we got to serve chili and soup. That was a welcome change.

After school I had an Ike Riche practice, so I never got to drive Bre home. I think the only times I see Bre during the day is when I pick her up, during lunch and if I drive her home. And none of that is actually being WITH her. That's the same as getting a cab with somebody. It's not really the place to talk too seriously/silly. :P That's why I like the weekend so much. I get to actually hang out with her. Although on the down side of that, nobody else seems to be around to hang out with anymore either. Every time I call anybody, they're not home. :S I've stopped calling. Does anybody else have this problem, or is it just me? xD

I spent the evening watching "The Outlaw Josey Wales". You know I'm feeling off when I watch a movie. Movies are odd for me. I never watch them, I normally don't have the attention span. I'll talk about the movie some other time. I don't really feel like talking too much about it right now, although I'll say that Clint Eastwood is easily my favorite actor. Oh, the title's from that, by the way.

Now, I'm going to go back to talking to Bre. I've got nothing else to say. Good night all!
