In a carriage by the motorway

Current Mood - Quiet
Current Music, Movement 2 - Gustav Mahler's 5th Symphony

Well, I've really been meaning to blog lately, but getting in the mood and mode is difficult.
Yesterday was a pretty normal day, except I didn't have piano after band, instead I had a refereeing course. It was just a refresher, dead easy. All we did was answer questions.
The debate room was fun yesterday, although awkward in the end. And technically, I ate in the hallway yesterday. I keep forgetting how much fun I have in there. For the record, and for those of you who don't know, Keenan, Kurt and Steven are all guys I've met only in the last month, all of whom are debaters. Just a reference for Sean.
Today was pretty sweet. I took the bus at like, 8, and it only took me 20 minutes to get to school. That's GOT to be a record for me. After that, things kinda didn't get better, except for some texting with Tim. =) Lunch was pretty good, and what really made my day was Kurt walking in partway though. I missed having his joility in science class, and well, I needed some good times. And I guess I got them. Rihannon kicked me in the knee, when I was trying to steal the hummus from Morgan, who stile it from Rihannon, Jason, Georgeanne, Kees and Sean. Yet another bruise to add. =) Not.
I skipped most of Social, mainly cause there's nothing to do. And Band was good times, except at the end when Mr. Waters told me I should join choir. Which I'm not sure if I want to do. I officially hate him. Never so ultimately as now. When I think of him, my chest tightens, and I have trouble breathing. Go die in a hole. A DEEP one, so that we'll never want to dig up your body. So what if I got new friends, you still treat me like dirt in the fucking band room. I HATE ....Well, ask me if you want to know.

Quotes:
"You shouldn't care about someone's sexual orientation" (Keenan) "Well, unless you're going to ask them out." (Sean)
"I'm not sure wether I'm laughing or crying" - Me, after Rihannon kicked me
"Grandma-like. Well, I've been called motherly, but grandma-like. That's a new one." - Me after Nils tells me to stop calling him kid.

35 points for today's title.
For the record, the scoreboard is as follows:
Tim - 50 points, a hug, and chocolate
Sean - 25 points
(Yesterday was only worth 5 points)

The sound of silence

Current Mood - Tired, but content
Current Music - None

Well, I have to say, yesterday was a pretty good day. I got to school waay too early, but it was alright. Bekah, Manda and Keenan joined me at pretty much the same time. There was a very large chocolate bar in the band room, which I enjoyed helping eating. Robyn's been having a crappy time, so I think chocolate was nice for her. =(
Nothing really to say about my classes, except that I had a sub in Sci, who's way of getting our attention was to sit at the front, glasses off, rubbing her forehead. I mean, I got that she wanted our attention, and I passed it on, but we're in grade 10, that's not what's going to work. You need to say something. Geesh.
Chelsea came back on Saturday, and it was nice to have a buddy to sit next to during band class, since apparently, I'm not good enough to sit next to Mariam anymore. We pretty much talked most of the class, I'm surprised Paddock didn't yell at us.
In social, my group pretty much left the class and photoshopped ourselves a flag. Furla left about 15 mins early, not that we cared.
Then, Hannah came over to work on our FLA project. We had to finish up with the Turkish delight. However, we didn't put enough gelatine in, so we had Turkish Delight Goop. (1 bloody pound of sugar!!!) W/e, I'll make another batch later.
Soccer practice last night. It was fun, but my dad taught a couple things wrong, aka, the warm-up. It's a brazilian style warm-up and i really like it.

Quotes:
"Angels and ministers of...dammit, something! I can't bloody remember." - Me, attempting to explain "The Curse of the Scottish Play"
"I just walk into a theatre and yell 'Macbaeth, Macbaeth!', and see what happens, even if that's not the play they're doing." -Spencer
'You have to leave the theatre, turn around three times, spit over your left shoulder-although, that might be salt-and you have to wait to get invited back in." - Sean

Wow, all Macbaeth themed quotes today.

And I found out.

Current Mood - Happy
Current Music - Come Together/Dear Prudence/Cry Baby Cry - The Beatles LOVE

Well, today started off well, when my parents didn't even try and wake me up until 10:30. Ahh, I needed a break. Tim texted me right as I turned on my phone this morning, however that was only when I recieved it. He sent it at 8:15. *evil smile* I love sleeping in.
Hannah came over at 2 to work on our FLA project. We had to find an English reciepe, translate it, then make it. So, there was purchasing of ingredients while the Flames lost 3-1. =( That was depressing, but what are you going to do?
Anyways, Hannah and I made very yummy Lamb with grape leaves, and Turkish Delight. Quite a fine meal, if I do say so myself. Rather simple, I'll send the reciepe to those who want it.
Sean, call me, and i'll get you the playlist.
Quotes:
"Don't go to University, it sucks." - Mom
"Stop drifting!" (Nils) "Nils, you're on drift mode!" (Haley and Kelsey)
"Why are we handicapped?" - Kelsey (After Nils accidentally clicked "Handicap, Yes" in a Wii game)
From now on, people gets points and other prizes if they guess where my titles (if they are quotes) come from. 20 points today.

"You've gotta be interested, you're a whore!"

Today was tiring, to say the least. Up at like, 7:45, in order to leave at 8:30 for a 9 o'clock piano make-up lesson. I've got a referee clinic on Tuesday, so I'll be missing my normal lesson. Well, that could've probably gone better, but then again, I could've practiced my scales. I dislike scales, no matter the instrument.
Then I had some aptitude tests. I'm not going to describe the reason to you all, but those of you I trust, know it. Anyways, they took pretty much the whole day. 10:30 till 3:30. I'm not going to describe them to you, but there was one questionnaire I had to fill out, and one question was, "I get calls from popular movies stars."
*twitch* I'm pretty sure I don't.
Ridiculous question. It's hard to keep your mind from wandering there. I know that I thought long and hard about Sean. I know what I did was the best for our friendship, and for the Keepers, but it's the hardest thing I've had to do in a while.
Anyways, when I came home, I discovered that Sean called me! Finally I got to talk to him for the first time in three weeks. So much has happened, that I've needed someone to listen and understand.
He's told me some stories from Florida, and even though half the time I was only half-listening, I still didn't get it. Does that make sense? Sorry kid, I'm just preoccupied.
I've discovered that I almost always misspell the word "swell". Yes, I know, I'm retarded. I spelt it "sweel". Shut up.
So I realized how much being in a relationship means to me, I've totally forgotten.
Fifty points to whoever can tell me what the title is from!! Okay, fifty points, a hug and chocolate.

Bonus.

I love randomly(or not) reciting "Forehead Shavecut" with Spencer, Kurt and Steven. And the fact that we know every word. And I like that I know "End of the World" and "Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny" too.
I love you flash videos.

Current Mood - Tired, but happy.
Current Music - Concerning Charlie Horse - Great Big Sea

Well, this has been quite an interesting past few days. I've actually had a decent time, although I admit, I crashed a couple times.
School was relativly boring, although I did kind of patch it up with my friends. Except Glenn still hates me. And I still eat in the debate room, mainly cause it's just fun in there. You never know when we'll errupt into a random argument.
Kelsie had a bit of a bad week, and I feel bad, because mine was really good, for exact opposite reasons. *hug* Love lives of high-schoolers are too complicated for me.
Well, Sean comes back tonight, which will make me incredibly happy. It's hard being away from your best friend!! And I'm allowed to go to Alyssa's birthday party, so it'll be good times! I get to see my two best friends again.
On and even brighter side, Tim asked me out on Wednesday, which did make me happy, but then Kelsie's thing didn't work out. =( Then my mom tells me I can't go out tonight, cause there was no real way to get me there. But w/e. My life won't end.
Playing test in Band on Wednesday. I was actually okay, I got 8+, 8. Which is around 80% I think. Then, just like at rehearsal the day before, my stomach cramped so badly that I could play at all. Not fun, especially when we're playing Palimpsest, which, for those of you who know, is a crazy horn part at the 6/8 time change.
I've discovered that I actually CAN text, but I don't know my plan, so I don't use it, not until my dad tells me how much I'm allowed to. =D But I can recieve, those of you who don't expect a text back.
I rediscovered my love for good 90s rock over Spring Break. John Hiatt (from whom my title is taken) and Tom Cochrane, mostly. And I've rediscovered my wonderful Beatles. I'm pretty much addicted to "I Feel Fine", "Day Tripper", and "Ticket to Ride", which were never really songs I liked. It's very good, because I need to NOT get addicted to Panic! At The Disco.
Gym class sucked yesterday and today. We had a personal trainer yesterday, and now my back is really sore from the stuff he made us do. My upper arms too. Then today, we were playing soccer outside, and I accidentally slide-tackled David. His knee hit mine right where I bend it, and i've now got a bruise that hurts quite a bit. =(
I have a comic that everyone must get addicted to. www.xkcd.com It updates every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. READ IT. a webcomic of sarcasm, romance, science and language. <3
I went to Battle of the Bands final today, GO SKAZILLA!! They were awesome, as per usual. And actually, the band after them was pretty decent.
So, I love David Hodges, he's an amazing person. <3
'Tis all children.

A proof is a proof!

Current Mood - Pretty happy.
Current Music - None.

Ahh, Spring Break. Pretty nice, good weather, time away from everybody else. Helped me think, and I'm not really in a blogging mood.
Sean's new quote: So you speak French? - Random Cruise member after learning Sean is from Canada.
Sean, call me, je t'aime.
