So, it's New Year's eve and Junior and I are hanging out with Scottie at his house. Junior and I arrived around 7:30 and Scottie had some food made. It. Was. Amazing. He made peppered steak and hashbrown casserole. Naturally, I had to be a fatty and eat some. Junior didn't eat any. It's about 11:30 now so I figured I should be  writing this by now!

Today was uneventful. Mom and co. left the town two towns over this morning at around 9 and we got home at about 4. After our customary Tim Horton's stop, Mom, Britt, Brooke, Bryton, and I all vamoosed to Nan and Pop's. While there, we were fed salt fish. That, too, was incredible. Then we went home and unpacked. Mom and Britt are still home at the moment, I do believe. I got a shower and got ready, and Junior picked me up. What a sweetheart! So, we proceeded to Scottie's house.

Now, after eating, the three of us went downstairs and the guys played CoD : Black Ops. When they were done with that, I FINALLY got my turn. Scottie and I played and, between he and Junior, I learned how to play. What made this night awesome was the movie. We watched Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. I have been wanting  to see that movie since I saw it advertised. I really didn't know what to think about it at first, but then I reallygot into it. Micheal Cera is a pretty good actor. The movie overall was really funny. Unfortunately for me, there were several games references that I didn't understand because I'm not that big of a gamer. BUT! It was great.

Now we're just sitting around watching Just for Laughs. Mike Birbiglia is on at the moment. I think all of the comedians are talking about relationships for some reason?

Ugh, now there's a commercial on about "Ezee wrap" or something. It's so stupid! They're trying to tell the audience that their cellophane (spelling?) is much better than the other brands of cellophane. How stupid is that? At one point, the lady didn't even wrap it around the bowl and then tipped it on its side so that all the contents spilled onto the counter. Argh, idiocy for the win?

Okay, that's all from me for now. I'm going to continue watching tv with the guys, sooooooo! Happy New Year's to everyone!

- Bre :)

Waldon here and I'm unhappily stuck without texting for today because of snowfall in our area covering the towers. Normally, this wouldn't bother me so much because I'm not much of a texter anyway. BUT! Bre is out of town and really, the only way I can talk to her is by text. We were talking on the phone earlier but I had to get off because my Grandmother called from outside the province. I wish we could have talked longer, at least. I'm happy my Nanny called, sure. But right now I'm wishing for a little Bre, yeah? :P As the title says, I need my fix. I think I talk to Bre more than I talk to just about anybody else, including my family. Although to be fair, I rarely if ever talk to my family. xD

Today I was needed by my dad to bring all the garbage to the local landfill for him. He just had a surgery on his spine, but he STILL goes out and around. It hasn't even been a week yet since he had the operation. My family is tough like that. We all need to make sure that there's nothing for dad to do so he doesn't hurt his back more while he's recovering. So, I went over to my friends house in a truck filled with garbage, dog in the passenger seat. He hopped in too, and off we went. Long story short, we threw out some garbage. I bet other peoples parents say "Bring out the garbage" and it means to the ROAD. Mine mean to a landfill half an hour away. :P

I was planning to get a haircut today, I think I look horrible right now. I feel like I've got a bowl cut, and frankly I do. My hair naturally gets a bowl cut because it's so thick. Bre will be happy when she hears that it's not cut yet. She likes it long. :P

So after supper and such, I walked my dog and did all that jazz. Cleaning. Washing. Then I met up with my previously mentioned friend as well as Glad. Off we went and obviously hilarity ensued. xD Glad went home, so my friend and I stayed in my basement and played CoD. I'm not very good though. I don't play as much as I used to. Although tonight for some reason, I'm playing MUCH worse than normal. I usually get around the top three on a list, tonight I didn't get above the second last. :S

So, I'll just be waiting around patiently and hoping for Bre to show up on msn. :P You'll all know if she does, you'll hear me cheer. So! Good night all!
-Waldon

Okay, I’m on MSN with Junior again. We have the webcam on the go so we can actually talk to each other. It is SO much easier than texting back and forth all day. Junior and I have text each other well over 200 times. It is ridiculous. At the moment we’re showing each other pictures from our phones on the camera. It’s silly. Oh yeah! The title. This year, for our in-depth novel study in English class, we’re reading Dracula. On the cover of our book, there is Dracula himself making quite a funny face. His upper lip is up, showing his pointed front teeth and he appears to be snarling at the reader. Naturally, we all have to make fun of it. Occasionally, Junior, Sandra, Sam, I, etc. will all start talking about it then say, "... Make the Dracula face" and we do! It’s so much fun. I just said it to Junior because I didn’t know what to title this blog, so he did it! And I got a laugh out of it.

Today, I’ve done quite a bit. I woke up at 9, ate breakfast with the crew, then got a shower. After my shower, I went to the store with Mom. It was fun! I don’t remember what we got or anything... We just kind of went there, then came back to the house. The real fun started when we got back. I... Convinced Britt to get ready to go to the mall with me. In other words, I yelled at her until she got ready. Once she was ready, we left. WE USED THE PATHFINDER. I had my baby back! I was so excited. We had no problem maneuvering her in through traffic and facing ridiculous lane changes.

Eventually, we arrived at the mall. Lo and behold, we found a decent spot to park! And so began our epic quest in search of the random objects that we will probably never need. We went to Eclipse but didn’t get anything because Britt wanted to look around then go back. I was okay with that. Then we found ourselves in Bluenotes. Oh, how I love that store! Britt and I ended our search at that store because we found what we were looking for. I bought two pairs of jeans and a shirt, while Britt bought several shirts and two (?) pairs of jeans. At the moment, I am so very ashamed of myself. Today, I did the unthinkable... I bought a pair of skinny jeans. I have NEVER bought a pair of them in my life. Britt helped me pick them out because they’re the only style she’ll wear, and the only style that I wouldn’t wear.. Until today. I bought them because my other jeans are too big to fit into my boots, haha!

After going to Walmart to pick up some dog food for Nan and Pop, Britt and I went to Subway. It was around 3 and we hadn’t eaten dinner, so we got a sub each and came back to the house. To be honest, I’m kind of afraid to go to the Subway back home because of someone that works there. He winked at me once.. I was very afraid. He’s like, 8 years older than me? Eeeep. I gave the cookies that I got to Brooke and Bryton. We ate our subs around 4 ish, and had some pizza for supper at 6 ish. Gosh, I love being a teenager. You can eat whatever whenever and you’ll still be hungry an hour later.

Now, Britt is upstairs with her two friends. I think they’re playing the Wii? I’m still talking to Junior. It’s great! I love this webcam thingy. It’s a wonderful thing. Oh, Britt has informed me that her friends are gone now. That’s cool.

OH YEAH, I was going to have a blog just to whine about stuff.. But I don’t know what to whine about! Argh. Maybe another time. I guess that’s it for now? Good night !

- Bre :)

Waldon here, how is everybody?

I've had a good day today, I suppose. I haven't done much beyond play my xbox, but that doesn't mean I didn't have a good day, yeah? I fell asleep at about 2 or 3 am this morning, and woke up again at around 6, dozed till 7, and fell asleep again until 9 30. I got a solid 5 and a half hours, that is excellent by my normal standards.

I spent a goodly portion of my day playing Fable 3. An excellent game. I've logged on about 12 or 13 hours now in total. I also got to play the game with my good friend Russell. We saw each other on xbox Live and connected and played a few quests with each other. Russell is a blood brother to me. We're not related at all biologically, but we've been together for so long that it's almost like we are. Physically we're almost complete opposites. I'm 6 feet tall, huge and Russell is about 5"8' and as skinny as a rake. Very pale. But we are both halves of the other person. It's been months since Russell and I have been together for longer than an hour. We got to actually talk. It was what I needed to cheer myself up after a morning stuck indoors doing nothing.

All day long I've been texting Bre, who's staying outside of town at the moment to my great displeasure. I must have sent at LEAST 100 texts today. No joke. A couple years ago you wouldn't even hear about me sending 10 in a week. I guess I'm going mainstream. Oh well, I'm being awesome along the way, so it's cool.

About half an hour ago, I restarted a story I had tried to write earlier, but I was suffering from a massive writers block. It was as I described, like trying to shoot a gun with no bullets. Sure, it shoots. But WHAT? :P

Then out of nowhere, while I was talking to Bre on msn, I decided to try writing it again. The words came! I was hauling out analogy after analogy, similes, metaphors comparisons and imagery! I had tapped into some inner writer that was able to envision things that I didn't even THINK about before! It was an excellent discovery. So as of now, I credit Bre with my soulful recovery. I should fire my current muse and hire Bre. Do I even HAVE a muse? Maybe that's my problem. :P

Well, despite various incidents of almost legendary acts of stupidity I managed to get this blog written. After one nearly black eye and blindness inducing twitch, and a massive stubbed toe the blog is DONE! :D Good night everybody,
-Waldon

I am in love. I have finally watched the Back to the Future trilogy. Mom, Thomas, Britt, Brooke, Bryton and I went on a road trip today. We had six hours of sitting in the truck with little to nothing to do. SO! We stuck on some movies. We chose Back to the Future. I had never watched them, so we seized the opportunity. I am in LOVE. They were just amazing! A classic. Well, multiple classics. Tonight’s title is from Part three of the trilogy. Doc Emmett L. Brown and Marty McFly were holding up a train (by the way, Britt is pretty much telling me what to write tonight... I’m afraid of her, so I listen) and that’s what they said when the conductor saw them. We laughed SO hard. Well, I did.

Because we were in the truck from 9:30 to 2:30 today, we had plenty of time to watch the movies. Between home and one town, we watched a movie and a half ("we" meaning Britt, Brooke, and I) and from there to where we are now, we watched the other movie and a half ("we" meaning Britt, Bryton and I). WAIT A MINUTE. I just did some Math and it doesn’t add up. The times that Britt and I just gave are only five hours apart. WHERE DID THE SIXTH HOUR GO?!

Listen. I don’t even know. I don’t know where I’m going with this.. And I had an hour and a half nap when we got in.

So, we got in safe and sound. I text Dad and Mandy, and Junior to let them know. We opened what Christmas gifts were left here, then just hung out. Britt, Brooke, Mum and I all tried to go to the store around 3 ish, but nothing was open! Except Tim Horton’s. Other than all of that, we haven’t really done much.

At the moment, Britt and I are on webcam with Scottie and Junior. I started talking to Junior shortly before 8 and it’s 10 o’clock now. I gave him a tour of the house and all that and he got to say hello to everyone. It was great! For the past goodness-knows-how-long, I’ve been in the basement with Britt in her room and we’ve been chatting with the guys. Scottie came over partway through the conversation. Now he’s playing CoD.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, Junior is being a creeper. He’s just staring at something on his screen and it looks like he’s staring at me. It’s quite unnerving. It kind of makes it difficult to write this... Britt isn’t helping me anymore, either! She turned on her computer and now she’s doing I don’t know what. Probably browsing the internet. Teehee. Junior just turned on his music. It’s cool because I can hear his as well as Britt’s.

OH GOSH, this is going NOWHERE. FAST. It think I need to stop this before I hurt myself. Junior thinks I should do one blog with me just whining about everything. Britt thinks that I could do it because I whine enough as it is. Psh. I don’t whine. It’s degrading. Good night all!

- Bre :)

Waldon here, and I'd like to take a minute to reflect on how I view Christmas. I'd like to point out, right from the start, that I don't view Christmas as a commercial holiday, I think of it as a state of mind.

 If we stopped viewing Christmas as the time of the year that we buy presents for people, and start thinking of it as the time of the year that we can spread some love and joy, I think more people would see the day as I do. Maybe I should explain it with an example. . .

This Christmas, my uncle was put into Rehab for alcohol addiction. He could hardly function. His life was falling down around his ears. We had to make an intervention. Within a few weeks, he had been flown out to the economic sector of our province to get help. Obviously he couldn't work while he was in rehab, so he lost money for food and housing. We all had to pitch in and get him applied for grants and services. This was the 3rd time we had to step in like this, we were all worried.

When Christmas came around, he was home with us, he was laughing and jolly. He was with his children whom wouldn't talk to him for years because of his problems. But he got gifts from all of his family, he received money, food, clothing, photos, everything he needed. He's not done getting himself fixed and back into shape. . . but I think that he knowing that his family was there for him, his friends as well, will help him, strengthen his steps so to speak, to finally reach the goal of abstinence from alcohol.

So what is Christmas? Christmas is a time for us all to forget our troubles and worries. To hold out our arms to each other and maybe sing a little? :P

Maybe what I'm just trying to say, is that we could all take a step back from what we thought we were doing with the Holiday, and see it for what it SHOULD be. Cheer and love, not money and gratification, yeah?

I think I'm rambling. Am I rambling? Oh well. This is your almost compulsory "Christmas-is-Love" seminar from myself. xD But unlike the other blogs out there, I mean it. :P

Good night everybody, I hope your Christmas was as good as mine!
-Waldon

And so, this dreaded day of the year has again crept up on me. Sigh. I’m not much for Christmas at all. Junior, on the other hand, LOVES it. We balance each other out in so many ways it’s just ridiculous. Anywho, Happy Christmas Eve to all who love it. I hope Junior writes a beautiful blog about Christmas tomorrow because I don’t think I’d be able to, haha.

Today was okay. Wow, that sounded like a diary entry. I haven’t written in my diary/journal in ages.. I should probably get on that. WELL. I did a bunch of running around this afternoon. Rather, it felt like a bunch. I was woken up at around 8 by Dad and was asked if I wanted to go to the store. I said no, and went right on back to sleep. At 10, I woke up. I got a shower later after trying to call Mom. Mom and Thomas and Brooke and Bryton got home last night (YAY!) so I went to see them at dinnertime, after my shower. Well, I dropped Dad somewhere first and told him I’d pick him up later THEN went to Mom’s.

After visiting and having two cups of coffee in 45 minutes, I went to dad’s. Britt, Mandy, Dad and I all left and we dropped off Mandy at a store. Dad was dropped off at someone’s house and Britt and I took the truck. We went to get some flowers for Mandy (from Dad), went to Dad’s to drop them off, wrapped her presents, then picked her up. Then we got Dad.

At around 3 (I suppose it was 3.. I’m not really sure anymore) I went to Junior’s. We just hung out, like usual, and talked. Ryan dropped by after work to get some of Junior’s old Yu-Gi-Oh cards for his little brother. How sweet! I wish Ryan was my big brother. That would be amazing! After he left, Junior and I resumed just hanging out. At 5, I dropped off the truck at Dad’s and Junior followed me over. He brought me to Mom’s for supper and said Merry Christmas and all that jazz just in case we don’t see each other tomorrow. Silly. Of COURSE we’ll see each other tomorrow. I don’t know what he’s thinking. We always see each other on Christmas.

After supper, nothing really happened to be honest. Mom and I went to visit Nan and Pop at around 8:30. We all just sat around and chatted until a little past 10. Chum was just loving Mom’s attention! He’s a beautiful dog. He’s an Irish Setter the size of.. Well.. NOT an Irish Setter. Chum is HUGE. I’ll have to post a picture of him sometime.

Anywhoo! I’m here now, talking to Junior and writing this. It’s about ten to twelve at the moment, so I should go to bed soon. I thought I’d be able to write until 12, but I don’t know if I can. I guess I’ll end it now. Merry Christmas to all! <3

- Bre :)

Waldon here and I think I've had inspiration.
From looking out the window at the frozen condensation.

"A walk," says I, "to gain myself a tree!"
Of course I've long gotten over my bad knee.

So off to Bre's we walk, Scottie and my own.
To seek a girl sipping soup at Grandma's home.

We find the girl a-sipping soup with glee,
And so we sit, and wait merrily!

Her bowl was done and left alone,
A walk is better when not on one's own!

So off we walked (and talked!) to the home of me,
A boy who's room is wrought with the bed most comfy.

Supper came and off I drove,
for Scottie and Bre to reach the place they strove.

A home for each with dinner waitin',
I got back and supper was cold. (But I don't be hatin'.)

Bre needed a ride to her truck from yours truly,
so my dog and I drove her to her destination, we were rather unruly.

My dog was antsy, so I stood up and said:
"I will walk you! But first, to Glad's we must head!"

And set forth walking did Gunner and I,
to reach the girl who lives close, in fact quite nearby!

An exchanging of words (and of presents!) forthwith,
we walked to my home through the snow, a place of veritable myth.

And time was passed, without grace or style.
I drew on the floor and Glad sat for a while.

But Bre came back, her night spent with her Nan.
She decided to come sit with the Singing Girl and the Animal-like Man.

Our presents were opened and smiles spread around.
My present to Glad was a purple cat with cuteness that will abound.

Glad went to the computer, to facebook she hustled.
I sat on the floor, Bre sat on the bed, and my hair became tussled.

A night we did pass with friends that we share.
The three of us spending the night with people that care.

But now I am done, my rhyming draws to a close.
Because I am running out of material to submit to prose.

-Waldon

Aaaargh. Please. Don't ever say that again. Ever. Scottie just said that to Junior... While they were on the bed. Nothing was happening, they were just there. I moved to write this, and Junior had a teddy bear on his back. Then Scottie said the title there. Never. Again.

So, as you can tell, I'm at Junior's with he and Scottie. Gladdale (YAY!) is coming over now. She'll be here by the middle of the post. We're all going to order pizza whenever she gets here. I LOVE that girl. She's amazing! She's home for Christmas, as you all know, so we're all pretty pumped to see her.

We've had a busy day. Junior came and picked me up this morning and helped my load all of the cookie plates that my Nan and I had made (at 12 o'clock last night) into his truck. Then, naturally, we went to school to participate in the last-day-of-school-before-Christmas fun. We went around and gave everyone cookies and they all seemed happy. I hope they're all right! Vlad gave me some banana bread. I LOVE his banana bread. He makes the best!

At around 9:30, we had an assembly. Only about half the school came today, so we were able to go to the auditorium for it. The re-performed the Christmas concert from a couple of weeks ago for us just to promote the Christmas concert for next year. It was really well done! It was announced that Mr. Rumbolt is LEAVING here because he was got a job somewhere else. I'm going to miss him!! Before we left today, I gave him a big ol' hug and wished him luck with his new job and told him that his help in Chemistry was really appreciated. He told me that it was his job. I told him that I knew that, but I felt like he should know anyway.

SO! Junior and I left the school and went to Scottie's for a few minutes. Then, he dropped me off at Mom's and proceeded to the optometrist. I went inside and got some cookies and some dinner. Junior came down around 1:45 or so. We ate some leftover cookies. Then we went to the bank. Then we went to get Scottie around 3. Then we went to Dad's to see Britt. Then we went to Sears. Then we went to Mom's. Then we went to the post office.

Now, at the post office, the key wouldn't work. So, we went back to Mom's to find another key. THERE WAS NONE. Then, we went BACK to the post office. I went in to talk to the dude (he knew Mom) to get the mail. He had to talk to Mom to be told that I could have the mail. All was good. Then, we went to Nan and Pop's for about a half an hour. THEN, we went to get Junior some money. Now we're at Junior's.

And so, we're going to order pizza soon. Gladdale is going to tell us a story. I'm done for now!

- Bre :)

Waldon here, and I must apologize in advance. This blog will NOT be long. :P Like Bre said last night, my internet connection was down yesterday and only was reestablished at around 6 this evening. A blizzard somewhere to the west of here damaged one of the fiber-optic cables that this line is connected to. It sucks.

Tonight was the snowball. I absolutely love the Snowball. It's formal, which is awesome, almost everybody goes, which is MORE awesome, and there's free food, which is practically ecstasy for men. :P

I got to dance with a very special girl tonight, twice. You know who you are. :P

So many of our friends were there tonight. It made me smile just to be there. The decorations were beautiful, the music was good (the DJ did me a favor the other day, so you KNOW I'm not biased.) and everybody was up and dancing.

You ever notice that modern dancing is really just standing in a mob and bending your knees rhythmically? I don't even need to try.

I would just like to conclude that this was one of the best snowballs I've ever been to because of all my friends. They were ALL THERE. Well, except Russell, but he would rather die than go to a dance. xD

Maybe I'll go into more detail later on sometime, but right now I've got gifts to wrap, almost an entire math assignment to do and it's almost midnight . . . SOOO. . . .

Good night everybody! Sweet dreams! :)
