Well. It's been an age since my last post. I'm just too darn lazy to turn on my computer long enough to write something. That, and typing pisses me off to no end. OOPS! Pardon my language. :P
So, what have I been doing? I got a job! That's what! Five days a week, weekends off, and I only work from about 7:50am to 3pm. It's wonderful! I'm working as a teacher's aide in a grade six class at the local middle school. I was thinking about becoming a teacher someday, so this seemed like a good opportunity. I'm having all kinds of fun and *I think* I'm doing well, so perhaps teaching is a good career choice for me? I know days like this past Friday really help with the decision.
This Friday was wonderful. Here's what we did:
- Period one: Made kites.
- Period two: They had computer class, so I wasn't needed. I spent an hour reading the Silmarillion, by J. R. R. Tolkien, (for those who didn't know) in the staffroom.
- Recess: A.k.a. 15 minutes of nothing.
- Periods three and four: From ten o'clock to about quarter to twelve, we took the kids swimming. What did Mr. White (the teacher) and I do? We sat and read our books. Uh-huh. Fun stuff.
- LUNCH TIME AT NAN AND POP'S! WOOT! Back to school at 12:35.
- Period five: Finished the kites again! (Saw a couple of kids with them after school, and they actually worked really well)!
- Period six (last period): Mr. White taught a bit of Math, then assigned a little bit of homework. I went around and helped out.
FRIDAY WAS GREAT.
As everyone knows, this is May 24th weekend (otherwise know as May two-four, for obvious reasons). Oddly enough, the Monday that we get as a holiday is the 21st. Hmm. There's nothing weird with that. Anywho. This weekend, I haven't done much! Last night, Britt, Mandy, Dad, and I went to Lorie's house for a barbecue with Nick, Lynn, and Dustin. It was grand! Britt and I left around quarter to nine or so to pick up Mom's truck because we had to babysit for a bit. Mom and Thomas went to someone's birthday. They were having a ball when we got there, haha. Today was rather uneventful. Nan and I went to the grocery store for some stuff that she needs for tomorrow (she's having company for supper). Junior and I went for a walk a little after that, and we visited Dad and Mandy. Then, I went to Nan and Pop's for supper. After supper, I brought Brooke home. Now I'm at Junior's!
Goodness! The title! I forgot to explain it! Well, here is goes: Mom asked me today if I want to go fishing tomorrow. I think I will. Mom and Bryton are getting pretty sick, so they're more than likely not going to go. Britt and Brooke don't want to go, and Nan isn't going either. If Junior decides to come, it'll be Thomas, Pop, Junior, and I going fishing tomorrow. A regular old boy's day out, eh?
Anywho, I think I'll leave it here for tonight. Junior didn't sleep at all last night, so he's trying to take a nap. I don't think he can sleep with me typing. Good bye for now!
- Bre :)
Waldon here! Guess what? I SPEND A LOT OF TIME PLAYING SKYRIM. It seems like almost all of my time is spent on that game xD I love it so much. Breanna MUST be getting sick of me playing it by now :P I've put in at least 300 hours into that game now. I've had about 20 files, all of which have been played through at least halfway through the main quest, and about 5 of which have had a large number of side quest lines done.
Anyways, right now I'm playing as a Nord sword and shield user. I love the Nords, I can identify. Canadian power, eh?
Breanna and I had an English exam today, so forgive me if I don't get too wordy, we kind of used up all of our language skills this afternoon. But, I'll try my best to get a good blog on the go for a little bit longer.
The exam was pretty good! Everybody I talked to thought so as well, so hopefully we all did okay. Both essays were choices, so for my first choice, I chose to do the benefits of maintaining a good balance between societies needs and the preservation of the environment. For the second essay, I told the story of when I jogged across three coves in Newfoundland, because I was lonely. The only way I could talk to Bre was to get to a place with signal, so I did the best I could to get to a place where there was a signal, and that was about 10 km away, at the base of a lighthouse. It was a BEAUTIFUL evening, but I'll be writing an essay over the summer about it, and I'll post it here when I do.
So, I've finally started working on the Little Dude project that I've been talking about for ages. I've been saying I'd start it for ages, but I made myself post the claim everywhere, and now I've got to back it up, because a bunch of people have read it. Thank god for forceful reinforcement, eh?
Anyways, I suppose I'm off to bed. I want to wake up early so I can talk to Bre and wish her good luck before her exam tomorrow morning! Good night all!

Waldon here, and guess what? It's almost finals!
Which sucks, but they have to be done. Bleh. Careers.
Anyways, I've been reading a lot of MegaTokyo recently. It's a webcomic by Fred Gallagher, I believe. I love it! It's actually entertaining me.
So, my bio class is pretty much done, and all that's left in Math is this week. Chem, we'll be done in a few days and in English we're just coasting. Stats is... Stats is odd. We're done all the essential work, but our teacher is still giving us work that won't be on our exam.
Whoops! I need to go pick Bre up lol, I'll blog again another time!
-Waldon
...you get so caught up in something that you enjoy that time flies without you noticing? :P
Waldon here! I actually meant to write this almost two hours ago. But! Then I found a new webcomic! :P It's called "Magellan" xD IT'S ABOUT SUPERHEROES. :D I love superheroes xD They're so corny that they're great. Also, gender inequality in hero comics is not restrained just to women. There's enough to go around. Sure, women wear all the skimpy clothing and become horrendous sex symbols, but have you SEEN Superman (Or Batman with his terrifying bat-nips from Batman and Robin?) How can a regular guy compete with a bod like that? Or that awe-inspiring coif he's been stylin' since his inception way back when?
Also. We have Aquaman.
Aquaman.
He can talk to fish.
That's just.. It's... No.
No more Aquaman, guys.
I think I heard the other day that (did you know this?) they're making an Aquaman comic where he's -wait for it!- in the DESERT. Yes. From what I've heard, the whole issue is how he reacts in the desert. From what I gather, he's kind of useless. :P
Today! Bre and I have been in school Nothing unusual. :P She had a math test today :( It was rough, from what I can tell. :S The lab ended up being about 20 minutes later than normal because nearly everybody in our chem class is in Bre's math class xD I had a pretty easy day, actually. Wednesdays usually are pretty slack for me. I love it. :P
Anyway, I suppose I'm done for the night! I have a Bio Lab Midterm tomorrow night, and I want to be ready for it (I.e. more than 5 hours of sleep). Good night all!
-Waldon
Waldon here, and tonight's title is from the song Paralyzer by Finger Eleven because it reminded me of a section of The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy, where Arthur is on a giant flying party.
Yeah. I'm nerdy like that. :P
I really don't have time to write a good blog tonight guys, I'm sorry. I have two HUGE assignments due tomorrow that I've been trying really hard to finish, but just haven't been able to. I'll be working at those for the rest of the night. Everything is just stressing me out lately, and hopefully this will all resolve itself soon. If anybody has gotten the brunt of my stress, I apologize profusely. >.<
So, with all due condolences, I bid you adieu! :)

I do believe that this is the best way to spend my Saturday morning. I am 110% unable to sleep in (kids screaming, tv blaring, dog barking, etc) so why not make the best of my time? A nice cup of tea and a good book satisfies my needs quite nicely. I suppose texting Junior makes it a little better, too. :p
All right. I've been a slacker. I was supposed to do this days ago but I didn't. Why? I don't even have a reason. Tired, lazy, busy, exploding things, buidling houses . . . That's good enough, right? Junior said he could do it today but I told him no. I needed something to do. (Random occurence : You know you're still tired when you try to drink your phone because you think it's your cup of tea). Now here I am, chilling out, being a cool kid, and stealing my sister's computer. Not Britt's though! She'd eviscerate me without thinking twice. That's just something YOU DON'T DO.
You know what? Eviscerate is a fun word. Here's the exact definition, according to dictionary.reference.com :
eviscerate - to remove the entrails from; disembowel; to deprive of vital or essential parts.
I think I like this word.
Lately I haven't been up to much. Junior and I registered for school this week (GAH, what a day that was). We had yesterday off so we just hung out and I played Sims. I have the greatest little house ever! I bought an unfurnished trailer and, using cheats nonetheless, I renovated it. I added a "porch", expanded the bedroom a bit, changed the siding and all the wall coverings, did the floors, and furnished the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. It's simply magnificent. Other than that, I haven't done that much. School starts Monday so that's when my life is going to be turned upside down. (><)
Oh! I have been doing something the past couple of days. I've been reading the Math Book ! Junior bought it for me while he was on holidays. It's really good! It is a compilation of some of the greatest Mathematic discoveries since before Christ. Wow, right? I feel like such a nerd. It's great though! I really like it thus far.
Okay, I think I'm done for now. I really have to finish my tea before it gets too cold! Later.
- Bre :)
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
Good evening! Or would it be afternoon? Um . . . Good 5:30pm! This is just one of those times of the day where I really don't know how to great people. At, and after, noon, I know to say "Good afterNOON." After, like, seven, I know to say "Good evening." 5:30 just seems like an in-between time.
So, what's with the early blog? Absolutely nothing. I'm not hungry just yet so I figured I'd write this before I turned everything off for supper. Who knows when I'd pull the Internet back up? Ah, the title has no great significance. My computer is plugged in and the little battery thing says "Fully charged (100%)" when you mouse over it.
Today has been all right! I woke up! I either got a shower, or I ate. I think I ate first. Maybe? Then I just hung out for a while. I ate AGAIN about two hours after I first ate. Junior came down at around one or so, then we went to the store for Mom. She needed a couple of things so I conned Junior into driving me to the store . . . And carrying everything. (^^)
This afternoon we didn't really do that much. I was cleaning up my room and he was helping me. Well, he read his book as well. I think he's reading Starship Troopers? He seems to be enjoying it, whatever it is. Oh yeah! We also imported 9 CDs to my iTunes! Now I have a little over 1100 songs! After cleaning up my room, we went upstairs for me to get something to eat AGAIN (I think that was about 3:30?). I ate my leftovers from yesterday. We boiled the kettle and sat down to drink tea and eat a piece of the cake that my Mom had made. I LOVE cake. (^^)
Holy crap. I've only been writing for ten minutes . . . It usually takes me about a half an hour to write this much. It usually takes me ages to do anything! For example. Getting my computer fixed. I couldn't use my computer for months because I didn't want to bring it to get fixed. Then Gladdale said that I would really need it for this school year. SO! I smartened up . . . And got my Dad to call about it. Go me! Always on top of things.
Hmmm. I wonder what Junior and I will do this evening/night. Maybe I'll get him to go to Tim Horton's! That would be lovely. He always gets me something. :)
Okay, no good stories to tell. I guess I'll just go read until I get hungry again. Later!
- Bre :)
Happy September 1st! :D Junior and I have officially been together for eight months today. Go us! :D
So, all kinds of confusion between us the past few days concerning whose turn it was to write the blog. We're sort of on track now . . . Sort of. I'll probably forget again, and we'll get all messed up. Again. Sorry! :)
Today was pretty fun! I woke up - always a good way to start the day - and went upstairs to say good morning to everyone! I got a shower and stuff a little while later. After my shower, I settled in to finish reading the Child Thief. I finished it around 2:30 or so this afternoon? Then I washed the dishes for Mom while she and Britt were out. Cody and I were going to hang out, but he didn't get my text until 4:30 or so, so we couldn't hang out.
Oh yes! I went to the optometrist with Brooke to get Bryton's glasses fixed, then went across the road to Burger King for some dinner for Dad. I dropped Brooke off at home, then drove up the road a bit to give Dad his food. Fun stuff! :D
Junior came down shortly before five and chilled with Bryton and I until Mom came home. Then we went out to supper! :D It was great! The server was even nice. Junior paid, like the gentleman that he is. We then went for a drive around town and down to the docks. At the docks, we watched the AMAZING seagulls flying around. Those things are CRAZY.
After watching the deranged birds, we went/came to his house. This is where we are now. But I have to go home soon! Very soon! So, we came here and listened to music and read webcomics - well, webcomic. It was Nedroid. Look it up! :D
Now I have to go home! Good night!
- Bre :)
Waldon here, and it's been a weird few days for this blog xD
Obviously, I'm not Bre. So something in the schedule is going wrong. :P What happens is that I always think it's my turn, so I'm about to do it when I confirm it with Bre and she's just like "Wait! It's me!" And then I'm just like. "Whoa." Then she goes home and she's exhausted and the blog doesn't get done because I don't think its my turn anymore. xD
So, yeah. Weird.
Now, today I went to the Library for the first time in about a year. It was very exciting! :D I love the library! It's got a whole bunch of books that I haven't read. And when I don't have any space for more books, I can always donate my old ones to them! :) It's just a wonderful place. :)
I went with Bre, and we walked there from our respective houses and met on the way. :) I'm reading "Starship Troopers" (Awesome, no?) and she's reading one of my books called "Child Thief" by Somebody "Brom" xD It's a dark rewrite of Peter Pan. Sort of. :P It's great!
So, we had to cut our visit short because it was starting to rain, so we had to go home. We went to my house to hang out for a bit. We had to walk in the rain. Which was cold.
Very cold. xD
So, then I dropped Bre home and here I am. Waiting for her to finish babysitting. I figured I'd write SOMETHING so that people don't think I forgot the blog. :P
I guess I'm done now. xD Good night all!
-Waldon
PS. GLAD! I hope you're getting my texts! I'm on MSN every night around midnight or so!
