Good evening all! Today has been an exceptional day (well, minus the fact that I discovered that my THIRD wisdom tooth is coming in) and now you get to be told about it!

School was all right, although I had trouble waking up for it this morning. Junior picked me up and we went on there. At school, I had Religion first. I finished my questions on the chapter and then I read the book that Vlad lent me, Cirque du Freak. It's a series, actually, and I finished the first book today. There are 12 in total, and Vlad has 11, so I'll be  busy for a while yet. (READ THEM, THEY'RE GREAT).

Sorry, I'm all over the place.

Second period was Pre-cal. Nothing went on. We reviewed our homework for an hour. Third period was Math. It was nice. We got some review stuff and we had time to work on our assignment... That I've had finished since Monday. So! I read!

At lunch, I went to the Math Help Centre. Junior had to go  to a dance rehearsal. :(  I went alone, but I saw Deejay, Sam, Sandra, Thomas, Robyn there! It was lovely! Junior came in about 1:05, 5 minutes before lunch was over.

After lunch, I had French. It was okay. Ms. Shortt had us do an activity where she gave us all a bunch of random things and we had to write a French story about it. I didn't finish! But I'll finish it this weekend and present it on Tuesday.

Last period was Chemistry. I hung out with Sandra and Sam while we worked on our assignments. Sandra and I always have the most wonderful chats! I finished my assignment. Sandra looked off my notes because she didn't have hers with her. I had fun. :)

After school, Junior and I went to the store to buy some Nutriwhip for the cake that I was going to make Dad and Nan. We also picked up a couple of bags of chips for Saturday night because Ryan is having a party at his cabin. We're all going down around 7 or so, and won't be back until late, so there probably won't be a blog that night. Sorry! Junior is driving me down. :)  I can't wait! I'm so excited! I'm bringing down my iPod dock as well.

Junior and I went to Dad's, then he went home. I made the cake! It is/was French vanilla, with a lemon centre and Nutriwhip on top. It was so good! Nan, Dad, and I all had a piece after supper... Now we're way too full!

So! I have to stop writing now because Dad is going to bring me down to Mom's now. Bye for now!

- Bre :)

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 here, and you may have guessed it, but GASP, I'm stomach sick. :P So I doubt I'll be able to write too much, but I guess I can give you a quick recap of my day.

This morning was kind of hectic for me, my truck wouldn't start again so I had to get the booster out and get the battery going again. That sucked, and nearly made me late to get to Bre's house. We were almost late. >.<

Then at school, I had pretty much all day slack classes. So I read a goodly portion of Return of The King. Excellent read. Anybody who hasn't read it, should.

Oh, also, we got some confirmation about some notes about our Grad stuff. Because of said notes, I've verified that I can't take more than 2 other people to the Grad Supper. Mom isn't willing to leave my Grandmother and Aunt alone, and Dad doesn't care about my graduating in the slightest, so I'm now effectively alone for the Grad Supper. Guess what? I'm now alone for every single part of grad. Yay me. I managed to ruin the single most important event of my school career that I've been leading up to for 13 years! : D

I spent lunch at the Math Help Centre with Bre, Sandra and Robyn. Sam too, but he was kind of off on his own, listening to some PodCasts. He LOVES his new iPod, from what I can tell. :P The wonderful people of the Centre managed to cheer me up a little. I wish I could just take a pill and sleep for the next 4 months or something. I'd drop out if I could. I don't want to be in school anymore. It just doesn't interest me. I liked working full time. I LIKED having a job. I'd do that happily for a very long time.

After school, Bre came over, and we hung out for 2 hours. Then, after supper, she came over again for a little while. Repeat afternoon's activities. No joke, I think we can sit around talking for hours a time. She's just amazing like that. Thank you for cheering me up today Bre. :)

I finished watching another Clint Eastwood movie a little while ago, and I've rekindled my love of Westerns. They're the only movies that I can watch without getting bored. Dad and I used to watch Westerns together all the time when I was younger. I don't think I've watched a movie with him in almost a decade now. Or mom, for that matter. That's kind of disappointing.

Now, I need to go do some stuff to settle my stomach. I'm weird like that. Situps help, I swear to god they do. :P Maybe I'm like my great great uncle. He got physically sick when he took a break from working. xD

Good night all! : D
-Waldon

Ah, Wallace. I love you. So, if nobody has recognized this quote, you should all go out and read the Scott Pilgrim series. It’s GENIUS. Junior got them for his birthday and has read the first five (I think he said there are six). Today, I finished the fourth. I’m loving them! They’re hilarious. Wallace is Scott’s gay roommate, and he’s absolutely priceless. I just have to giggle at him! Oh, if you don’t like to read, go rent the movie. Or buy it. Whatever tickles your fancy. I’d buy it, personally. I watched it on New Year’s with Scottie and Junior. It. Was. Great. :|

Okie dokie. I don’t think I’m going to write much tonight. I’m really tired. I’m such a slacker. I’m so sorry! Junior has been filling in for me… Because I’m a SLACKER. ARGH. I need to fix this problem. The only good thing about not doing the blog last night is that I won’t have to do it on Thursday. Thursday… *shudder*. I think I’ll let Junior explain that one. Let’s just leave it at this: I wish it would skip from Wednesday to Friday.

Today was all right. It was a delayed opening Monday, so Junior picked me up at our usual time and we hung out for an hour or so at his house before going to school. It was nice! I sat down and read the third Scott Pilgrim book. It was glorious! Umm… Here’s my school day in jot note form! Because I’m lazy!

-          First period Chem. Cool beans. Reviewed for test with Sandra.

-          Second period English. Wouldn’t miss it for the world. Mr. Crane is incredible. Junior thinks that I have an unhealthy obsession. Am I unhealthily obsessed with my English teacher? No. I am not. We got the Catcher in the Rye and we’re starting it tomorrow. I read that book a couple of years ago and LOVED it.

-          Third period History. Did a question as a group. Fun stuff!

-          Lunch time! Went to the Math Help Centre with Junior. We chatted with Robyn and Sandra. I LOVE THEM. :)

-          Fourth period Religion. LOVED IT. Read the fourth book of Scott Pilgrim and talked to Scottie.

-          Fifth period Pre-cal. Cool. Mr. Lawrence is SO smart. :S

-          After school. Tutoring for an hour or so!

After tutoring, Junior picked me up. He brought Gunner along for the ride! I love Gunner.  I told Junior that Gunner was really my main man. I don’t know how he took that, haha. When I arrived at the house, I talked to everyone, did some homework, ate, then walked up the road to Lisa’s house for tutoring again. We chilled for two hours, talked a bit, and studied Chemistry. We were learning about Intermolecular Forces! Awesome stuff right there. I left at 8:35 or so, and walked back here. I nearly peed myself I was so scared! Next time, I think I’ll accept a ride.

Other than all that, I haven’t done too much. I lay down with Mom for a bit and watched some tv. Now I need to go to bed… Good night!

-Bre :)

Waldon here. I'd like to take this post to show my feelings on having an excess of testosterone.

An excess you say? How can you have an excess? It's not like it's a bad thing!

Well, there my friends, you're wrong. Puberty was a sign not of growing into adulthood for me, but a sign that soon, a life of sweat, blood and awkward growth was about to begin. To this day, I have a ridiculous number of muscle pains and growth spurts. I've been growing since grade 7. As many know, I'm graduating soon. That's almost 5 years of growth. That is NOT normal (Thank you Diabetes.). I'm also expected to keep growing until I'm 21.

I can't even get a tattoo until then unless it's on my chest. It's the only thing not expected to grow much more. For your information, I'm 40 inches or so around the chest and 24 inches across the shoulders. I don't think I CAN get much larger. :P

I've got bone structure problems because the rest of my body hasn't caught up to my growing skeleton... The only plus side to this whole load of testosterone is that now I have strong muscles. That's good for work. :P

Now. Onto my day.

Nothing happened all morning. Well... I drove down to pick up Bre. That's really the only interesting thing. Lunch time I was at the Math Help Center again. I love going there. It's got a bunch of people that I love talking to. Sandra, Robyn, Bre, Sam, Lissa... Then I had nutrition and math. I spent all math reading Lord of the Rings again. Exciting.

Then I drove Bre to pick up HER truck, followed her when she was driving to her house, and then we hung out for a little while.

She came over after supper after I ran a few errands, and we just relaxed, read and talked for a few hours. It was a wonderful evening. There is NOTHING I like more than relaxing with close friends.

So, it's now MIDNIGHT just as I typed this. Sooo..... Good night!
-Waldon

Beware: This will NOT contain a list of relationship warning signs. Although, I may post them someday. I was once given a sheet of paper with a bunch of “relationship warning signs” to look out for. Naturally, I taped it to my wall next to my desk. Junior read it over this morning (gosh, I just had to ask him when he read them). I had a giggle at him. By the way, he passes. He’s a good boyfriend. :P     Now! Time for the story of my day.

Sometime after midnight: Crazy dream. Dreamt Britt killed someone and Ryan was hitting on me. Not good for two reasons. 1 – Ms. Shortt justified the murder by saying that Britt loved the dude. 2 – Ryan has a girlfriend. In the dream, he said he loved me and would break up with Meghan. I didn’t like that, so I drop-kicked him down the stairs.

6:30 am: Woke up with my alarm. Was too early to get out of bed for a shower, so I stayed in bed and listened to the radio.

7:20 am: Shower time! Thank goodness. I felt icky.

7:45 – 8:25 am: I know, I know. That’s a long time to get ready for school. But that’s what I do every morning. Drying my hair is the worst.

8:25 am: Junior picked me up! :)

8:38 am: We picked up Ryan.

8:48 am: We arrived at school.

8:50 am: Gave Vlad my book and my hat. He looked right spiffy in my nice green and black tam (that I’m proud to say that I knit myself… Because I wanted a hat).

9:00 – 10:00 am: Well, these times will be approximate now. First period Pre-cal! Yay us. We didn’t do any notes, only work from the book. Fun stuff, right? Vlad and I found out that David is a tad prejudiced. Worked on piecewise functions.

10:03 – 11:02 am: Math class! Woot. More circle geometry. I SUCK at it. Royally. Junior says that he’s good at it. Maybe I’ll have to get him to help me with it. Oh no. My pride just started to hurt. (Sorry Junior! You know how I feel about asking for help!)

11:02 – 11:12 am: Recess time! I talked to Junior for most of it. Vlad still looked spiffy in my hat! SOMEONE was standing too close to me again. :S

11:12 am – 12:14 pm: French class! I LOVE it. Ms. Shortt makes my day. I got my History test back (89%... Awful). We read some of our book. Ryan and I shared mine because he forgot his. We all (all seven of us) talked about a cooking project that we’re going to do. Ryan and I are making brownies, cookies, and (possibly) fudge.

12:14 – 1:10 pm: Lunch time! Math Help Centre again with Junior and Nikita. It was awesome! Nikita and I did some Chem. Junior was playing a word game with Sam. Ms. Edmunds came in for her lunch duty, so we were all in on the conversation then. She’s amazing. (O_O)    It’s her birthday tomorrow! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MS. EDMUNDS! :D

(LOST MINUTES!)

1:17 – 2:15 pm: Chem class. Mrs. Finlay wasn’t there, so Nikita and I worked on our Chem assignment and had a grand chat.

2:15 – 3:16 pm: English class! Mr. Crane is the MAN. We all just chilled today and worked on our biography project (due Monday). Unfortunately, we had a fire drill, so the class was outside for a few minutes.

3:20 (ish) pm: Nikita brought me back to Mom’s to get the Pathfinder so that I could go to Nan and Pop’s! I love that girl. She’s absolutely amazing! We, again, had a grand chat.

3:45 pm: At Nan and Pop’s. Talked to Nan while Pop took a nap and stuff. Did my Math work. Told Nan about the Cold War.

5:45 pm: Ate supper with Nan! Pop had a meeting to go to, so he didn’t eat with us. :(     We watched the news.

6:30 pm: CORONATION STREET.

7:00 pm: I went on the treadmill for a while because I felt SO icky. I also read through my History notes on the Cold War… As a bit of extra review. I don’t want another 89%.

7:30 pm: Jeopardy. Nan and I watched it and I asked her about her life. I’m doing my English biography on her! Talked afterward for a while.

8:25 (ish) pm: Drove on back home.

8:45 pm: Played with Mom’s hair.

9:00 pm: Went downstairs. Did some laundry. Got ready for bed.

9:43 pm: Started this blog.

10:14 pm: Finished this blog.

-Bre :)

P.S. I’ve been texting Junior throughout the day!

Waldon here, I'm filling in for Bre tonight because she asked me to. Tonight's title is from one of my favorite songs, and from a very popular band in the Hard Rock and Metal crowd. Anybody know who it is?

I've been really weird these past few days. I'm not sure what's changed, but I've been on the go all day today at least. Not energy-wise, but wit-wise. I've been cracking jokes and going on rants as easily as breathing. I've made so many little tirades that it's ridiculous.

I think it's my blood sugar. It's been really high for the past while, and over the past few days it's been excellent. I suppose I'm just feeling normal. :P I'm just not USED to normal. xD

So, this morning I picked Bre and Ryan up before school. Ryan missed the bus, so I got him on the way down to Bre's. We all squeezed in and got on our way. :P

First two periods this morning I had math. Which sucked. But I read Lord of The Rings during the time I had left after doing all my work. Which was almost the full two hours, admittedly, but I did do all my work. :P

After that I had art class, where I goofed off for an hour. Then it was lunch, and Bre and Sandra and I chilled out in the Math Help Center.

Then Sandra and I had a History test. I had to BS most of it. But that's okay. History tends to repeat itself anyway. If I got the start right, I got the end right. :P

After history I had music. But my throat was too sore to play my instrument, so I didn't actually play. I just fingered the holes and followed the beat. A lot of people are sick, lately. :S

After school I drove down to the Source and bought myself a nice diatonic D Blues Harmonica. It has a beautiful sound. Then I drove to Tims, bought a bunch of food, and a chai tea for Bre and I and picked Bre up after her tutoring. She liked the tea, I heard. :P

So. Nothing interesting really happened after that. So I guess I'll end this here. My head is hurting, so I really don't want to drag this on. It's pretty sporadic looking anyway, so this is cool. xD

Good night all!
-Waldon

Waldon here. I just got some food. It was pretty good food too. Peanut butter cookies and some odd rice krispies-raisins-marshmallow-chocolate concoction. So... Aside from my small feast, I've got some other things to talk about, I suppose. Although not much of it is more interesting.

Today was both Bre and I's first day back to school (Regrettably). Bre and I have such opposing views on school. It's ludicrous. Bre loves school. She's the smart one of us. She loves math, she's doing chemistry and a bunch of other subjects... in french. She's English. Do you understand the implications of that? Not only is her average about 10 points higher than my own average in the things she thinks she's having trouble with, those troublesome courses are also in French. It's like a huge statistical hammer coming down on my grades with the might of some calculator god.

I think it's obvious that I don't like school. I much prefer to be outside and in nature somewhere. I love animals, trees, plants, ecosystems... all of it. Not in a textbook either. I want to see what I'm learning about. Don't get me wrong, I'm not some musclebound idiot. I understand musculature and bone structure from viewing an animal. I have an intimate understanding of the human body- how the muscles connect, the tension in joints, the physics inherent in everything down to movement. . . I just don't like being restrained by some brick walls with a bunch of identically dressed, hormone crazy adolescents who haven't learned that laughing obnoxiously loud and making noises like cars while people are trying to teach you isn't funny. I like being with maybe one or two people at a time to learn, especially if I'm in the woods. I can't learn from textbooks, I have to learn through experience. It's one of my dreams to take some of my friends out into the woods with me sometime so that I can show them how beautiful it is just walking through some old forgotten footpaths from the annals of history, or hiking over a deer trail with your dog by your heels.

Well, rant over, we went back to school today. We started our new term with a math class, first thing. Wonderful. But, after that the day went by pretty fast. I had Nutrition, Art, Skilled Trades and History, in that order, afterwords. I spent lunch in the Math Help Center with Bre, Sandra, Robyn and Vanessa. I was reading for a good portion of that.

After school I had my first theatre practice of the term. I'm playing Horatio in Hamlette. Yeah, I spelled that right. Figure it out. We read through the script once, and made a few notes. Took us an hour and a half. It'll be a good play, although we're going to have to tighten it up a bit. It should be about half an hour or so when we get it all done.

So, now that I'm done putting up the details of my personal life for people to gawk over, I think I'm going to go back to talking to Bre on msn. Much more rewarding than typing into a box that doesn't talk back. Eh tu, Blog?

So, Good night!
-Waldon

Waldon here and I have no idea what to write tonight for the blog. I guess I'll just do a quick recap of the day? Isn't it great that the use the blog was intended for doesn't cross my mind until all other options are gone?

Well, this morning I woke up late. It was at 7 36 when I actually opened my eyes. Thank god Bre texted me, otherwise I probably wouldnt have been up until 8. That would have been very bad. Anyway, from there I went on to school. I had English first period today which is awesome. We spent the whole period looking at visuals and identifying stuff about them. I may not be able to do math, but I know my stuff when it comes to art. THAT I can handle.

After English we had Math. Bre is in my math so it's not as bad as it could be I guess. We did examples and had some work assigned. Nothing else to report, aside from the mind numbing monotony of math class.

After math, Nutrition. All well and good really. We watched a movie on Child Advertising. Did you know there's a book called "Consuming Kids" and it's about marketing to children? I think it's false advertising, myself. I also sketched out a small picture about me being a wizard.

I've never been much of a real "artist" per se. I'd love to be able to do the stuff that many of the more professional artists do, but I just don't have the drive to do it. 5 minute doodles with a mechanical pencil's, sure. :P

Lunchtime was great, Bre and I went to the Math Help Center, I told a few stories, we chatted with people all lunch. Sandra and Robyn being two of said people, they make me laugh. :D

After lunch I had art class, where I finally finished off my mask that I was working on. It looks like a venetian Doctors mask. You know? Long beak and half a face? That sort of deal? Its fun.

Then I had Skilled Trades class. We were working on our module for this session, which is Plumbing, installing a toilet. But partway through the class I felt really odd, and there was a pain in my left side. I felt around there, and lo and behold, my insulin pump site was falling apart. This isn't the first time it's happened, but it's not common by any stretch of the imagination. So the tube that was under my skin wasn't quite OUT of my body, but it was close. I left class early and drove home.

I have to apologize to Bre here. I try and make it a habit to see her as much as possible, but since I left early today I didn't get a chance to see her before she had to tutor. Please forgive me Bre, I'll try to not let it happen again.

Yeah, so I then spent the night at home. I didn't even walk my dog tonight because I felt so weird. My sugars have been all over the place. I've got dead space on my left side, which most definitely didn't help the pump site problem. So I've been up and down all evening. On the bright side, I drew a dragon. Which is were the title comes from. :P

So, I haven't done anything else really important tonight, and Bre is on msn. So I think I'll go chat with her for a few more hours and go to bed. Good night All!
-Waldon

Waldon here, and you're witnessing firsthand the horrible effects of insomnia.

Also, there's an English assignment that's due today in school that I only started at around 10 30, but that's and entirely unrelated matter, of course.

One of my best friends in the world came back from her first-ish year at university this evening. I drove up to the airport at 8 50 pm, and her flight was in at 9 30 pm. So we immediately hugged and resumed where we left off 4 months ago. Which is to say, Tim Horton's and tooling around. I missed that girl.

I drove her home at 10 30, and I ACCIDENTALLY hugged her too hard.

It was really an accident, seriously.

I have this problem. I'm stronger than I realize sometimes. . . And I usually end up breaking things. Or people. I don't like breaking things. Or people.

Now, after writing for the past 4 hours, I'm really not in the mood for a long post, nor am I really in control of my facilities right now. I'm kind of tired. I've been running off of caffeine for the past few months. Staying up late probably won't help my case any.

Oh well. Bre and I were in the Math Help Center again today. Nothing much happened, but I like being places with Bre, so I'll put it here anyway. Although, at one point over lunchtime Sam A. started playing with my depth perception (or my lack thereof). That was mildly traumatizing.

So I guess I'll go to bed now unless you want another depressed rant. I don't want one really. They make make feel emo. And I don't LIKE feeling emo.

So, good night everybody!
