I'm not going to lie. the title was just an excuse to use the word patootie. :P

Seriously though. Can you tell I'm tired? xD I'm actually exhausted. I was up very early this morning because my blood was up, and then I had to get ready and go to school. Bre wasn't feeling the greatest, so I was worrying about her all morning even BEFORE I got to school. xD

By 8 30 AM I was waiting in the school lobby for registration to start so I could call Bre and tell her what we needed to do to get all this stuff done. :P

Well, by 9 45 I was done a goodly portion of my registering, but then I met Bre and Deejay there so Bre and I decided to share a locker and save some time and money. While Bre was waiting in line, Deejay and I went to find the lockers and drop Deejays books off in hers.

By 2 PM, all three of us had found our classes, gotten our books, paid our fees and had lunch. It was a good day, don't get me wrong, but I spent a crazy amount of time today just standing around and doing nothing. I'm exhausted. xD

Some other time I'll have to go through the process in detail with all of you, but right now I'm too tired. xD

Good night all!

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 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 if you don't know the title, hang your head in pop culture shame. :P I've got a headache tonight, so I'll see how far I can get with this, sorry if it's not very long.

This morning was a Delayed Opening, so I got to go down to Bre's house for a little while. That was fun. :) After that we went on to classes. I had Art Class first thing in the morning and I think that's my favorite way to start the day. I worked on a sketch I started last night of a fairy/pixie thing, and I think it's come out rather well.

After Art, I had World History where we discussed 0ur research papers that are due at the end of May and watched a little bit more of the movie about the life of Gandhi. He was an amazing man, but I've already talked about him in one of my previous posts, so I won't delve into that again, as much as I'd like to. :P

Then, because it was a Delayed Opening day, we went straight on into third period, which just so happened to be Music. Music is another of my good courses this year. I play Tenor Sax in the band segment and my own Harmonica when I get the chance. We were playing Band all class, but near the end I was losing air out of the Sax from somewhere and I wasn't getting much noise. I think it may be an air flow problem from my mouthing maybe? :S I hope I haven't broken a valve or something. That would suck.

Next was lunch. Lunch is great, Bre and I always go to the Math Help Centre. Today I was debating the equal importance of English as a course as Math with Sam. Sure, Math is the "Universal Language", but you really can't SAY anything with it. It's important, yes. I'm not denying that. Losing your mathematical skills is stupid, they're the fundamentals for everything involving science and engineering. But the course itself and having an understanding of the language we speak is just as important. The course inspires critical thinking and improves your grammar and eloquence. Which are things that can easily help you in communication with everybody else and in the workplace. Don't undervalue that. You can understand as much theory as you want. But if you're a jerk because you talk like your opinion is better than somebody's without trying, nobody cares if you can find 'x' a billion different ways. :P

After lunch I had English class, oddly enough, and I spent the period doodling while listening to our reading of "Catcher In The Rye". That was over soon enough. xD

Last it was Nutrition class. Where all the jerks in school go to get an easy credit and some food. I really dislike my class. My old Nutrition class was GREAT. I loved it. But this class makes me want to punch people. Let's not talk about that class overmuch.

After school I had to go to a meeting with two of the young girls that are going to be in the children's dance show with myself and a member of my troupe as entertainment between the dances. Because admit it, if it's not your kid on stage, those dances are... mediocre. Now, if that's YOUR kid on stage, that show was better than anything you've ever seen before. No. You're not biased. ;)

Bre decided not to get a ride home with me today, so it was a lonely ride home. I HATE driving home alone. There's really no rational reasoning behind it, but there you go. It depresses me. I don't mind going home alone if I've dropped somebody off, or if I'm leaving somebody's house or whatever. But if I've just gone from point A to point B without seeing anybody? Like, going to the gym or driving to the store? Nah. That makes me sad. I don't like that at all. xD

Now, oddly, I don't mind it at all if I'm walking or biking. But if I'm driving a truck or a car? After I get to my destination, I'm ready to just curl up in a corner somewhere. :P

So, after my drive home I ate supper and sat down. There I remained for the rest of the night. I've been playing games all night and haven't done much else, sadly. Gunner didn't even want to go for a walk, and I can't blame him: His legs are hurting him. :(

And so I'm done. I suppose I did okay with this blog?
Good night everybody!
-Waldon

Waldon here, and I'm really too tired to make much sense tonight. Or write a long blog for that matter. But I'll try, I promise.

Over the past 2 days I've been reading the Siddartha. It's the story of the Buddha (sort of). I've never been so relaxed by a book before, nor have I ever been able to so easily understand the reasoning behind what the character is wondering.

Seriously though. I'm really tired. I'm not going to be able to post too much more before I fall asleep. >.< I woke up about 4 hours early this morning after my insulin pump came disconnected and pulled off my body. Normally, that's unpleasant all on it's own. But today it pulled out just far enough while I was sleeping for the tube to come out and start jabbing me. It's a horrible feeling to have a lifeline come out. Contrary to logic, after having my tube loosened and free, my blood sugar level was low. O.o So I had something to eat ( I can't even remember what) and went back to bed.

Not that it did much good. I ended up just dozing for about 4 hours. >.<

So, Then I sat around all morning because Bre didn't want to hang out. I picked her up, we then went to school and did all that good stuff. Except for lunch. That was kind of crappy. Bre was working canteen and I didn't know. So I spent about 15 minutes looking for her because nobody bothered telling me, then spent the rest of lunch tooling around trying to find somebody to hang out with.

I'm really tired. Like... REALLY TIRED. So, good night all!
-Waldon

Waldon here, taking over for Bre again who's bogged down with stuff to do, the poor thing. So much to do, and she never gets quite enough time to do it all. The song lyrics today are from an older song, way back in 2000. Kryptonite, by 3 Doors Down. Whoa, that was over a decade ago now. I still remember going to school in the mornings and hearing people talk about Y2K in Grade 2. Am I really growing up? I don't want to grow up! I want to be 9 again. That way, I'm not too old to play Imagination, but old enough to bike around town on my own. :P

Today, as most people who're reading this will know, is Valentines Day. What a lot of people don't know, is that today is also my birthday. I'm now 18 years old. Geez. I feel like a creeper for being around younger people now. xD

I woke up this morning bright and early (Not by choice mind you ) and went upstairs to get my birthday presents from my parent's. I had already celebrated the night before at supper, because my dad wanted to leave town today. I don't know when he'll be back. I never do, really. That old bear can't be held back, so he'll be okay. I got a few pieces of clothing, and most amazingly, mom gave me a hug and a kiss. I can't remember her ever doing that. I can't even remember the last time mom kissed me. It was a great morning. :)

After that, I drove down to get Bre, and I gave her her valentine present. I made her an Origami heart with a drawing on it. I thought it was nice, but she completely outclassed me, by hand writing me about a dozen or more hand written pages with pictures about stuff we've done together. It brought tears to my eyes. Almost. :P Then we drove around for a bit, and hung out for a while at my house. It was a delayed opening today, so we had time.

I'm proud and happy to say, I was Bre's Valentine. :P I was the one that ruined Bre's single-on-Valentines-Day streak, as well as my own.  It was a really good day for the both of us, I think. She said what she thinks of it all on the front page. :D

Also, I got a few more presents over the course of the day. Two of these being a pack of 96 colored crayons and a massive coloring book. This just proves that I've got the best friends in the world, I swear to god. xD On my 18th birthday, I stayed home all night, played Fallout New Vegas, ate diabetic friendly cake, and colored a coloring book. Who else has done that? I WIN. I am the king of the dweebs now. You can bow down to my overwhelming childishness/nerdiness.

 Okay, well I'm done for now. I'm kind of tired. So, maybe I'll get into detail some other time. Just like everything else I say I'm going to do. And never do. So, good night all!

Holy cow, I ate so much for supper that I’m almost sick right now. I ate some of the cod-au-gratin that Mom had made AND I ate a giant plateful of the sweet and sour moose that Nan had made. Both dishes were leftover so they tasted even better. Gosh, I love my family. Everyone is such a good cook. Unfortunately for me, I’m going to get fat because of it… But that’s okay. I’ll be a happy big kid. Junior thinks that I’m too thin and that I need to put some weight on. I think he’s full of crap. :)

Oh! Again, I’m sorry about my lack of posts. I haven’t been able to get to my computer for the past little while so I’ve been relying on Junior. That guy cares much too much about me. He’d bend over backwards if I asked him to, haha.

So, this weekend has been pretty okay. On Friday, I went out for supper with Junior and Scottie. It was so nice! We never do anything together anymore. I really miss it. After supper, we went back to Junior’s house and Scottie played Black Ops. Junior was just chilling out and I was half asleep on the chair. Scottie brought me home early because I was exhausted.

Yesterday (Saturday) was pretty awesome. I went for breakfast with Mom, Britt, Brooke, and Bryton. That was fun too!  After breakfast, we all went to Nan and Pop’s. For the past little while, Nan and Pop have been working on some puzzles that Mom and Thomas had given them for Christmas.  Naturally, I went to help Nan with the puzzle while Mom was talking to Pop. Soon, Britt, Mom, Nan, and I were all standing around the table doing the puzzle. We got so much of it done! Nan finished it after we left, I believe. Dad and Mandy picked up Britt and I there and we went with them.

While at Dad’s, I just chilled and did my Math work. I did, however, take a break and I went with Dad to visit someone and go to the phone store.  Junior and Scottie came over for a few minutes late on in the afternoon… Ummm… Gosh. What else did I do yesterday? Oh yes! I went over to Junior’s last night for a few hours. While there, I finished off my Pre-cal assignment. Other than that, Junior and I just sat around and talked. Nothing too special, haha.

Today wasn’t too exciting. I woke up kind of late and watched Brooke and Bryton for a bit. After my shower this afternoon, I went to Nan and Pop’s with Brooke. While there, I helped Nan with ANOTHER puzzle. It was awesome! Brooke was just around.  Mom actually needed some carrots for her soup so I brought her some carrots, picked up Bryton, and went back to Nan and Pop’s. The rest of our stay was pretty much the same. Well, I had to pick up Mom and Britt because Mom needed the truck. Britt came back to Nan’s with me, then Mom went to do what she needed to do. Mom later picked us up and we all came home.

Theeeeeeeeeeeeen, I typed up Mom’s résumé and now I’m typing this. We have a delayed opening tomorrow so Junior is picking me up and we’re going to hang out at his house. Anywho, I’m done for tonight. I can’t keep a thought going!

"Basically, karma's gonna get 'em. Rawr."

That is what my sister, Britt, and I concluded while going through her copy of Oedipus the King earlier on this evening. For anyone who's read it, you really should understand that quote.  For those who haven't, here's a bit of an explanation: 

It is foretold that a king's son will kill him and marry his mother (the queen), so the king gets rid of him. Shepherds find the baby and bring him to a neighbouring kingdom, where he is raised by the king and queen of THAT realm. When the baby, Oedipus, is older, he hears the prophecy and runs away. On the road, he kills his real father because he's in the way (literally). Upon reaching the town of his birth, he answers a riddle and saves the town and marries the queen (his mother. Ew. But he doesn't know that). Later on, the town goes through a rough patch, and it is said that the person who killed the king was responsible for the rough patch. It's Oedipus' fault! But he doesn't know it. So, along comes a blind soothesayer guy and tells him, quite basically, that karma's gonna get 'em. Rawr. He's a nasty old man. Very blunt.

So, today was the first delayed opening of the year. Instead of going in and starting school at 9, we started at 10 (and finished at our normal time). I woke up around 6 ish (I'm ready to pass out right now - almost 16 hours later) and was ready and rearing to go, so I got up and went. I actually ate breakfast with the rest of the household! It was great, minus all of their peanut butter. Ew. I walked up to Junior's at 8, and he met me along the way at around quarter to nine. We hung out at his house for a bit, then walked to school. It. Was. Great.

The town is so pretty early in the morning. You can really tell that autumn is setting in. All of the trees' leaves are turning red and orange and yellow. I took a bunch of pictures! Some of the sights you see around here are simply breathtaking.

Well. That's it.

- Bre. :)
