Tonight’s title comes from the middle school play, performed tonight by (you guessed it) the local middle school. I do believe it was the last line? Anyway. The basic plot of the play: a guy wants to propose to his girlfriend in a park. In this park, a lot is happening and their moment gets ruined. On a nearby bench, an old couple that constantly argues is sitting, watching the young couple. At the end of the play, when the young couple decides to separate because of their differences, the old couple decide to leave the park, and they tell each other that they’re sick of each other. The old man turns to his wife and says (the title). I thought that was the cutest thing in the entire world. I quite enjoyed it. :)

I would have done the blog last night, since it was my turn, but I figured I could let Junior do it then and I could do it tonight because he had to perform his play tonight, and I thought he’d be tired. Aren’t I nice? Yes? I thought so. Our school’s drama troupe had a fundraiser (with the middle school’s drama group) to raise money for our school’s drama troupe to go to the Island for the provincial drama thing. I think? Gosh. Maybe I’m not that nice. I can’t even remember what it’s called! Because they won, Junior is going away in May (I do believe) with the troupe for it. I’m going to miss him!

(I don’t have much to write…)

School was okay today. I didn’t get any homework for once! We did some notes in Math and English and… That’s about all I did today. French- watched movie. Chemistry- worked on a couple of questions with Sam and Sandra. World History- did a work sheet and passed it in at the end of the class. WOW. Not a lot was done today. Oh yeah! Tomorrow, I have French right after lunch. A bunch of people are gone out of town to visit the university on the Island, or gone for soccer, or gone for a choir thing. SO! I’m in French by myself with Ms. Shortt! I can’t wait! I think it’s going to be fun. Although, I could just skip off and give her a period to herself… :P

I didn’t do ANYTHING this evening except go to the plays with Britt, and go to Tim’s afterward with Thomas, Matt, Britt, and Junior. Scottie and Jessica showed up at around 9:30, but Britt and I had to be home for 10, so we had to leave at quarter to. Oh well! It was nice seeing them! Britt and I got home around… Jeepers. I didn’t even look at the time! I think it was before 10, though. We went upstairs, talked to Mom and Thomas for a bit, then came downstairs. I got ready for bed. Now I’m writing this.

Now I’m done! Good night!

-Bre :)

Waldon here and I'm posting again tonight to atone for my hardly-blogged-at-all-yesterday sins. :P Today has been distinctly uneventful. I drove to Bre's this morning to pick her up. Drove to school. Went to class. Fun. xD

First period today I had Math class where I was working on some review questions that our teacher gave us the last day. I have a double math class, so I ended up missing the first of the two periods because I had it yesterday afternoon. I finished a good portion of the review before the end of the class.

Second period was really fun. It was art class. I absolutely love art class. I'm working at my mixed media art project on computer, so I can't work on it in class, but that gives me more time to work on my own stuff in class. Most of my stuff is crap, but I enjoy it anyway. :P So since we weren't really doing much, Ms Edmunds turned on the new Star Trek movie and we watched that for most of the period. It is an amazing movie.

Next was recess. I don't like recess much. It's not long enough to really relax, but just long enough to make me not want to go to class. It's an unfortunate occurrence. :P

After recess was World History. We watched a documentary on the life of Gandhi. He was absolutely astounding man. Inspiring, even today. Fighting is what he believed in, but he would never raise his fist to hurt his fellow man. He fought oppression without ever resorting to violence, and he won. It takes a truly remarkable person to emancipate an entire country from British rule without violence. He believed in peace and justice where it's due, and he achieved it. He swept across Africa and India with change in his wake. A true spiritual messiah of his time.

Then it was lunch time, Bre and I went to the math help centre and hung out with Sandra and Robyn. I think we'll all be hanging out this weekend! :D I can't wait. :)

After that I had music class. It was the second day of presentations where we had to perform a musical piece in the theatre adjacent to our school. Yesterday I performed my work on harmonica. I played the Star Wars Imperial March. Yeah, I'm a nerd. And I love it. It was fun, I love performing things. Music is one of the beautiful things in life, I think spreading beauty is what people were meant to do. It doesn't have to be some long lasting work of art. Beauty can be singing with your friends when you're in high spirits, it could be painting when you're feeling sad, or walking down a nearly unused trail and leaving something behind that will show the world you were there for the better. It could be drawing, writing, singing, dancing, knitting, sewing, even just helping somebody relax or carrying their groceries. Beauty is everywhere and in everyone, regardless of if you think you have it or not. Just being alive makes you beautiful.

Last period today, I had english class. I spent all class doing a sketch because we had a reading class for a book I had already read. "The Catcher in the Rye". I'm really not a fan of the book, it's all complaining. That sounds very hypocritical coming from me on here, but I'm not that bad in reality. I use the blog to vent, and hopefully people don't see me as how I portray myself with my rantings on here.

After school, we had a rehearsal for my troupe that we never actually got a chance to finish. We were kicked out at around 4 40. Bre had already gotten a ride home, so I went home alone today.

Then I had supper, and started on that sketch again. It's a pretty good sketch if I do say so myself. :P I didn't use any references for it, so it's probably pretty skewed, but I think it's nice. I'm going to show Bre tomorrow, because she never got a chance to see it today. :P

Now, I think I'm going to go to bed. Although, here's a throwout for you nerds out there...

KHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN!

Good night!
-Waldon

Waldon here, and I thought I'd try something different. Instead of writing a blog post about my day (even though I was able to talk to Bre on the phone for a good while tonight, I really liked that! :) ), I think I'm going to put up a sketch I did a while back instead. I like this picture and although the scanning pixelated and stretched it a bit, I think it's mostly acceptable.

So, Good night all!
-Waldon

This is nowhere near as awesome a title as what Junior suggested, I assure you, but this will have to do. Every time I ask him for a title, I feel like I’m stealing his ideas! So, I thought of this lame title lickety split. Why am I an excellent multi-tasker? I’m writing this, talking to Junior, AND knitting a sweater. Mmhmm. That’s right. I’m awesome like that. I’m knitting myself a sweater. It all started when…

… I decided to stay home from school today. Junior came down to pick me up and it was then that I told him I wasn’t going to school. He didn’t mind, the sweetheart. He just wished me well and gave me a big hug and a kiss and went to school. What did I do? I sat upstairs like a lost puppy for a bit then went to clean the bathroom downstairs. Cleaning helps me feel better, okay? By 11 this morning, I had 90% of the bathroom clean, several loads of laundry done, and dishes done. Then, I went to Nan and Pop’s to hang out with Nan for a bit before she went to her first day of work. She had a good day, and I’m so so SO proud of her! :)     Pop was at the Lodge all day, so I didn’t get to see him until a little later when…

… We were all out looking for Chum, their dog. Nan and I let him outside and he ran away! Just for your information, he stands about two and a half feet at the shoulder. He’s MUCH bigger than he’s supposed to be as an Irish setter. That was around 12. Nan and I went to look for him, but to no avail. We called Mom and tried to get ahold of Pop. Mom is great in a crisis. I think she had half the town averted of our plight! It took him about an hour for someone to locate him. It wasn’t too long after that that Pop had him in the back of his Jeep and was on his way to the Lodge. During this time, I decide…

… That I really wanted to knit something. What? I didn’t know. So, I looked through Nan’s knitting books and found a pattern that I liked, so I went out this afternoon, after Nan went to work, and I bought some wool (for a grand total of 11.05$) and I started the sweater this evening. This is going to take a while. But I sure hope it will be worth it! Also while at Nan’s…

… I found out why Nan has been making a quilt! It turns out that she’s been making it as my graduation present. When she told me today, I cried a little. I’ve been crying more than usual lately. Why am I so emotional?! Argh. Anywho. It’s a beautiful quilt! I absolutely LOVE it.

Enough of the ellipsis. While I was knitting this evening, I talked to Junior on the phone. I think we were on for a total of 1 hour and 45 minutes or something? He hung up on me twice… Well, once. It was his Dad the second time because he forgot that I was on the phone with Junior! After talking to Junior, I called up to Dad and Mandy’s and talked to Mandy for fifteen minutes or so. After that, I went upstairs, continued knitting, and watched House. It was nice!

Now I’m done. Good night!

-Bre :)

Waldon here. I'm so sorry! It's been a few days since I last posted, for which there IS a reason, but I don't feel the need to get into it. The title stems from a fear of mine. One which, if you're a reasonable person, you should share. How would we know? It's not like we've seen the depths of our own bodies. Or at least, only a very few of the lucky ones have.

How. Would. We. Know?

Anyways. I'll get on topic now, I suppose. This weekend has been an odd one for me. I got called three separate occasions by three completely unrelated people to help them out of some incident involving immobility from their automobile of choice. Once for my friend on a skidoo who ended up getting passing people give him a hand AFTER I had left the house, once for a friend stuck in a snowbank in a driveway, and three guys who were having a battery problem that didn't end up being resolved until one of their father's showed up and did some crazy black magic in the car. I wish I knew what he did. I've been curious about it all weekend.

Okay, so my dog just did something that I'm sure other dog owners have experienced before that completely baffled me: He was up scratching at my door to my room, and wanted to be let out. So, it being the rational thing to do, I got up and opened the door for him. He jumped up, quite excited and happy and ran out the door... Where he then sat down immediately and lay down to sleep. He may have proceeded about 3 feet in total? The room temperature was no different, the carpet feels the same. I just don't understand what possessed him to NEED to move that 3 feet to the east. :P

So, yesterday morning I was at a theatre practice. We needed some chairs for props. So I got up and went to our library to pick up a few. That's where all the spare chairs are. I bent over, bent my knees, grabbed the chairs (A stack of 4) and starting standing straight up. I then had this horrible twitch. The chairs came up really hard, and hit me right behind my left ear, my god that hurt. There's still a small bump there, but hopefully it'll be gone by tomorrow morning. It doesn't hurt or anything now though, so I'm good.

I spent this evening with Bre. We were going to have an Earth hour get together tonight since she had to work last night and couldn't participate in the hour with the rest of town, but I couldn't get a hold of Sandra and Robyn, so I guess we'll do it some other time hopefully. :)

Bre isn't feeling too well tonight, I don't think. She's really tired. I hope she's feeling well soon. :( I'll take a page out of her book and give her a big ol' <3 ! That's right. I just used a <3 as well.

It's the beginning of the end, people. I used a <3.

In all seriousness, please feel better soon Bre. :)

So, I guess I'm done for the night. Good night everybody!
-Waldon

Good, um, morning! It’s currently 12:18 am (as in past midnight) here and I’m having some trouble figuring out what time of day it is. Is it actually Sunday morning or is it still Saturday night? I’m not sure. I think it is… Sunday morning? Ack, I’m much too tired to figure it out. How about we call it Sunday morning, and if I’m wrong… Well. Nobody would really care anyway. It’s only a time of day, so it’s all good!

Before I forget, I’m SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SOOOOOOOOO sorry for not doing the blog on Friday. I don’t know what I was thinking. I stayed over to Dad and Mandy’s (which has absolutely nothing to do with not doing the blog. It’s just a tidbit of information) and I didn’t even think about writing it. What WAS I thinking? I don’t know. It obviously wasn’t about the blog. I didn’t even remember that I was supposed to write it until Junior asked if it was his turn tonight. All I could think was “OHMIGOSH I’m such a slacker!” It’s actually his turn to write it tonight, but I’m filling in because he isn’t feeling too well. He has a big ol’ headache. Feel better soon! <3

Yeah, that’s right. I used a little heart.

Okay. So, I woke up this morning from a really weird dream. My dreams are so incredibly vivid that they seem real, even if I’m subject to farfetched circumstances. Here’s the gist of it. I had to park Mom AND Dad’s truck (two different trucks) at the back of the school. I drove Dad’s into the snow bank and got her out using “six-wheel-drive.” After I triple-parked the two trucks, I walked into the school that didn’t look like my school on the inside and Thomas was there. He gave me an egg and said we’re going for breakfast. We walked up a flight of stairs and met Mom and Junior at the top. I said that I had to go to school, got mad, and left. They thought I was nuts! I even took the egg!

The rest of the day was good! I played Sims 3 for a while and went to Egypt. It was great! My Sim caught on fire and EVERYTHING. I got a shower and stuff, ate, did some Pre-cal. Basically, I hung out around the house all day. I made ten dollars by guessing how much money there was in a jar! I was the closest! Woot!

At five ish, Nan and Pop came and picked me up, and we went to the Lodge. We all had to work there tonight.  Someone was having a wedding reception there. It was quite nice! We were there this evening for about six hours, clean up and all. Pop was actually there since nine or so this morning! The poor dear. At around 11:30, we left and Nan and Pop drove me home. Now, here I am, sitting at Mom’s, talking to Junior, and writing this. I’m so very tired! I’ve been on my feet for so long tonight.

I think I’ll leave it here and finish talking to Junior. Lisa and I are going to brunch tomorrow (hopefully!) and I’ll have to wake up early to get a shower before we go. So! Good night… Morning… Um.  Bye?

-Bre :)

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

Hello all. How’s it going? I’m all right. But just all right. Nothing better, but nothing worse.  I just finished cleaning up my room. Pop and Thomas moved my old dresser out and put in a new one, so all of my stuff that was on my old dresser has been lying on my bed all day. When I got home from school, I found the new dresser in place and all of my stuff out of place. I was excited about the dresser! But not so much about my stuff. I like to move things my way and if I don’t, I’ll probably be close on having a panic attack. Oh well. It happens.

So, today was all right. Junior picked me up this morning, as usual, and he wasn’t looking too good. He ended up going home at recess because he really wasn’t feeling well. Personally, I don’t think he should have gone to school at all today if he was feeling gross. That’s what I do.  Anyway, we picked up Ryan on the way to school and we weren’t late at all today. In an extended homeroom, we filled out a smoking survey for the government. It’s really bothersome having to fill in “I do not smoke” for almost EVERY question. First period Religion was fun. Levi was there! I was pumped. Scottie told us about the “party” that he’s having on Friday. I think Junior and I are going? Second period was Pre-cal. We got some homework and an assignment to add to it.

Recess, Junior went home. I missed him today… Math was next. It was all right. We’re having a quiz next Tuesday *writes self a reminder*. All right. Good to go now. At lunch, I went to A&W with Dad. It was nice! After lunch, for French, we went to the Nutrition lab. Ryan and I made cookies. Last period I had a Chem test. I studied so very long and so very hard for that test, and it was STILL brutal.

After school, Nikita brought me home. I loves her! Then I  came in and started on the dresser. Nan and Pop came down for supper shortly after five. At 6:15, I had to go to Mathletes. Vlad, Sandra, Lissa, and I lost again, but that’s okay. We had so much fun! Afterward, I brought Vlad, Sandra, and Sam home. I got home and watched Republic of Doyle for an hour at nine. Then I came downstairs. I finished cleaning. Now I’m talking to Junior and writing this. I’ll do my homework in a minute.

Oh. My birthday is tomorrow. That’s why I’m NOT doing the blog. I’m sure Junior will mention my extreme loathing of my birthday sometime in the blog tomorrow night. Oh yeah! That’s where the title comes in. Anywho, good night!

-Bre :)

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!
-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 :)
