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!

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 :)

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 :)

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, and sorry about something.

I'm NOT going to explain the title. :P

In fact, I'm going to leave it up to all you clever readers to either figure it out, or make something up for it. I'm in favor of making something up, personally. I mean, I'm a pretty creative guy. I can come up with a lot of things this sentence is valid for. I'm sure you all can come up with something xD

Now, onto my promised blog. Although it won't be too long, I admit.

This morning I was running a little bit late, I needed to refill my pancreas (My insulin pump xD) before I left the house, so I was about 5 minutes behind. I ended up showing up at Bre's late, but she was ready for when I got there, god bless that girl. xD Otherwise we probably would have been late for class.

I had Music first period this morning. We had about 20 minutes to practice a piece of work that we worked on for the last few periods and play it in front of the class. My saxophone (the school's) is old and weathered. There's something wrong with the bottom two keys and the air keeps getting lost after you press them. So, our performance was... shoddy. :P

After that I had English, where I did a quiz. Nothing special.

Then there was nutrition. Nutrition used to be a GOOD class. But ever since I got moved to another class, It's gone to the dogs. There was a girl in my group that just wouldn't... shut... up. She went ON and ON and ON about how if she didn't like the apple pizza dessert, she would throw up. Then she proceed in a masterly fashion in showing me that she had no idea how anything in a kitchen works. T_T She didn't know how to peel an apple, roll dough, dice the peeled apples, or do anything besides pouring pizza dough mix into a half a cup of warm water. Our apple pizza dessert was pitiful.

Next I had lunch, followed by double math. We had a math test, which I finished in about 45 minutes, and then free time. I got pretty much the whole afternoon off. I was reading some of the new novel I'm reading from the Alex Cross series.

Then school was over, thank god. I spent the rest of the afternoon with my theatre troupe. We can't really practice because our lead actress is gone. She's gone for another 4 days, and the festival starts in 6. This is going to be a tight one.

After that I went home for supper. Walked my dog, and went to Bre's Nan's house. Where I spent a wonderful evening with her watching TV and telling stories. It's really odd, I almost never watch TV, but I'm perfectly content to do so when I'm just relaxing on the couch with her. I hope I don't become a couch potato. But I love telling stories, and listening to stories too, so I was overall completely content with my night.

So, I think I'm done for now, but there's one more thing I want to link to.

I have anger problems, which many of you may have noticed from all my angry and depressed blogs. I had to go back to online councilling yesterday, and one of the exercises it told me to do was to write an essay or a long paragraph or whatever about what makes me angry, or about what I'm bitter or mad about and post it in a place where people can see it. I didn't want to post it on here again because I think I've been doing too much of that lately. So instead, I'll provide a link to the rant below, so that anybody who's interested can read it. Please, keep yourself from making too many derogatory comments. I did it because the person helping me told me to.

So, Good night!
-Waldon

How do I know this? Yesterday morning, Junior brought me two large packs of Skittles. Not one small pack – TWO LARGE PACKS. He really knows how to support my addictions. Needless to say, I was ecstatic. Well, minus the awful mood I was in until lunch time. The past few days, I have been so emotionally unstable I don’t know how Junior puts up with me. I really don’t know what he sees in me, to be honest. (><)

Aside from my awful mood, I’ve been okay. Vlad gave me a little pack of Tropical Skittles today in English and told me they were for yesterday’s bad mood, and that he has an emergency pack of Skittles in case I get in another bad mood anytime soon. My friends are so darn sweet. I don’t deserve them at all. This afternoon, Sam, Junior, and I all ate the pack of Skittles on the way home from school. It was lovely. Sam is the bee’s knees, I must admit. He’s hilarious! Junior? Junior’s pretty darn nice himself. I can’t complain.

Okay, ah, school today… Hmmm… What happened at school today? Nothing, really. My French quiz was postponed until tomorrow because my teacher was sick, I passed in my Chem lab second period… OH! Mr. Crane was out today, so we had a substitute for English. We “watched” a version of Antigone. By “watched,”  I mean people were texting, playing on their iPods, sleeping, talking, reading a book (me!) or playing Civilization V on their computer (Ryan). Ryan played A LOT of Civ V today. I enjoyed watching him play. At lunch, there was a Eurotrip meeting. We picked out jackets to order for the group, decided to do an Easter basket (similar to the Christmas basket we did… But for Easter) to raise some money, started thinking about roommates, and discussed the school recycling. Other than that, the afternoon was slow in History and Religion.

The school recycling. This bothers me to no end. It seems that, over the past few weeks, very few people have done their part in recycling after school to raise money for our Eurotrip. For over a week, the upstairs recycling bins have been OVERFLOWING with recyclables and unmentionables (you don’t want to know). On Tuesdays, a group of people take the recycling downstairs and the cafeteria, while on Thursdays the group takes the upstairs and the cafeteria. Nice and simple, right? Apparently not. Yesterday, Junior, Ryan, and I were recycling all the recyclables from the upstairs, downstairs, gym, and cafeteria. We were there from 3:20 to about 5:30. We only stopped to see Mr. Myers about graduation gown measurements. It was quite the fun afternoon.

My apologies, but I’m a bit of everywhere tonight. I was just thinking about the school then I started to think about anti-bullying week. Tomorrow is Purple Day. Wear purple to support homosexuality! Also, Friday is Pink Day! Wear pink to stand up against bullying! Even Junior has a pink shirt to wear.

Oh gee, here I go on another tangent… This afternoon, I didn’t have to tutor… Again. I think I’ll need to call someone about that. So, I sat in the lobby to wait for Junior and read A Matter of Honor. I’m on page 200 now! Only 160 pages left. Junior told me that I could come on into the cafeteria to watch the drama group practice, but I was stubborn and said no. A few minutes later, Mr. Sharpe (the drama teacher) walked by me and stopped. He looked at me oddly and asked what I was doing. I told him that I was sitting down and reading my book. He lightened up and told me that if I wanted, I could come into the cafeteria to watch them practice their play, regardless of what Junior said. I giggled and agreed to go. SO! I watched Junior at drama and read my book until about 4:45 this afternoon. I had a bunch of fun. When they were done practicing, Junior and I brought Sam home, then Junior brought me home.

This evening, I was at Nan and Pop’s until 8:30. We had supper, watched the news, chatted, watched Coronation Street, I played Unblock Me (level 130 something now!), Nan did some Sudoku, Pop went out, I called Dad, worked at the blog categories (ALMOST done), then Nan brought me to Mom’s. Now I’m here… Writing this.

Now I’m done… Writing this. Good night!

-Bre :)

Waldon here again tonight, Bre is pretty beat out, so  I'm taking her place for this evening. Morning. Whatever. Now, for tonight's title, I'm not going to tell you the song name. Anybody who's a fan of the classics, you better know this song or I'll be angry at you. Very angry.

I'll make note here, before I start actually writing the blog, that it's 12:27 AM right now, and this will probably actually be posted around 1 or 2. Eh, if it's late, I might as well make it REALLY late, yeah?

I woke up this morning (yesterday) at around 8 am because I had theatre practice at 9 30. I wish I could sleep in. I've been living off of maybe 3 hours of sleep a night for the past 3 weeks. It sucks. Anyway, during the practice we read through our whole script once, and then did the whole play with blocking later. Our Director was very impressed with us. I felt proud.

After practice, I went home and played xbox for 5 hours.

I'm cool, I know.

Seriously though. Somebody save me from Fallout New Vegas. I might not be able to surface from the game over the next few months. >.<

After supper I took Gunner for a walk. I've been having nosebleeds for the past 3 days, big ones too. I've lost a good bit of blood. And yes, I DID get another nosebleed while walking Gunner down a long dark road.

I'm a big dude. I look kind of scary sometimes. Now, cover my face in blood and dress me in black like I was, and you get bad results. I looked kind of angry, understandably, walking down a long dark road with a dog following me off leash and blood covering my face.

A passing car nearly swerved off the road. I'm lucky she didn't, I would have felt very guilty.

After I got home and apologized to Bre for not being able to go to movie with her tonight due to my body being difficult to maintain, she proved how nice she is by staying home with me this evening. Thank you Bre. It cheered me up, midst the mist of red. (If I may be eloquent. :P)

Now, not too long ago I brought Bre home, and then I read some articles online. Nothing too interesting aside from the Egypt situation.

So, Good night I guess. It' is now 1:16AM. Yes, it took me nearly a full hour to write this. I'm a horrible procrastinator. (Or would that be a good procrastinator xD?)
-Waldon

Waldon here again, the lyrics for tonight's title are from the song Listen to the Music, by the Doobie Brothers. I am a huge fan of the Doobie Brothers. From what I've heard, they're all about just kicking back and relaxing. Forgetting about troubles and just moving on. Great stuff.

Anyway, today was a big day for our school. Well, big-ish. It was our annual cake auction. People from our school bake cakes to bring in that get auctioned off during the afternoon to the individual classes using money that they raised during the past week.

Sadly, I missed it. It was my last year, and I missed it. I felt horrible this afternoon, my blood sugars were high and for lack of a better description, it felt like my veins were on fire. It's not a particularly pleasant aspect when you thoroughly think about where a teenage male's veins lead to in the end. Very painful during every single exertion. Oh well. I laid down for the afternoon and talked to Bre. We watched the Republic of Doyle. It was the first time I've ever watched that show. It was good, I'll admit it. We also drank some tea and ate some blueberry cake. I'm happy with that. :P

After supper, I didn't hear from anybody really. Bre was out with somebody else, and if I'm not contacted by 7 30 by anybody, it's guaranteed that they've found somebody to hang out with. I'm the guy that's always just "there". Sadly, the downside to that is that nobody else is there when they're out. I accept my role as the quintessential basement dweller. It's a rough job, but I think I can handle it. It takes monumental amounts of soda and simple amusements. I think I've got my bases covered. :P

On a random note that doesn't follow chronological coherency at all, last night I had a bad nosebleed, and another bad very early this morning. I was feeling pretty dizzy throughout the morning. I wonder if there's any connection with my high blood sugars? Anybody out there who knows about this stuff that's able to tell me?

Anyway, I spent this evening reading webcomics. I've added another 20 or so to my read comics, but before I add any new ones to the list, I've got to finishing linking the OTHER ones. >.<

I found one comic called Dead Winter that I enjoyed a lot. It was about zombies. Everything with zombies is good... wait. Let me rephrase that. Anything with zombies and some EFFORT is good. xD

So, I guess I'll be heading to bed now. I've got nothing else to say, really. Good night all!
-Waldon

Ah, reminiscing. Britt and I were at the table this afternoon, just sitting there, talking. I was eating tomato soup with crackers! Yummy! I love tomato soup. It’s amazing. But that’s not the point. I looked at Britt and said, “Hey! Do you remember the time we ate like, an entire pack of crackers?!” She looked at me, thought a moment, then said, “… Nope.” Ah. I love Britt. There actually isn’t much of a story behind that story, to be honest. One day, Britt and I were home alone and I got a massive craving for salted crackers. What did I do about it? I got a pack of crackers out of the cupboard. Watching me eat the crackers made Britt want some crackers. Soon, Britt and I were sitting down eating all of the crackers. Unfortunately, we both ran out of crackers and got really thirsty because of the salt. Dang salt.

Anywho, today was pretty slow. I woke up before 8 and couldn’t stay in bed very long. I became restless and got out of bed to search for food. Brooke has been sick all day, so when I got upstairs, she was on the couch and Mom had been up since about 2:30. HOLY CRAP. So. Nothing much happened until this afternoon. Junior and I were going to hang out, but he had to work from 10 to 12:30 today and I was really lazy, so I didn’t get over there until about 2:30. All afternoon we just sat around and talked. We were going to go to the store, but we didn’t make it there. We did, however, get there tonight and –

OHMIGOSHIFORGOTTOPICKUPTHEPEPTOBISMALFORMOMWHATWILLIDO.

OHNO. I forgot something! And I forgot to tell Mom that I forgot it. Jeepers, I’m bad. I guess I’ll have to go pick it up tomorrow.  OH! At the store, I got all kinds of cool stuff. Bryton came with me to get Junior and we all went together. I had to pick up some stuff for Mom (most of which I actually remembered!) and get some stuff for me. I didn’t realize it was so difficult to pick out cover up. Junior had to help me a bunch with it. I had never bought it before today! Heck, I don’t even use it. Now I have it “just in case.” Also, I didn’t realize that it took so much effort to pick out moisturizer! I narrowed it down to vanilla or green tea/cucumber (I think?) and I ended up getting the second one. Woot! Go me. I love the smell of it. If you don’t , that’s cool. You don’t have to smell me.

Tonight was meh. I watched Toddlers and Tiaras (or is that vice versa?) for HOURS. Oh my. It was awful. I gave myself a headache from yelling at the tv. I really don’t like that show. Why did I watch it? Because I was too lazy to move, that’s why. But, on the plus side, I got a cup of earl gray tea. :)   Yay me!

Ugh, bed time I suppose. I’m sorry about the really short post tonight! I’m just really tired. I’ll make it up to you guys… Someday.

-Bre :)
