Lazy moi.

*Sigh* I am lazy today. I'm supposed to clean-up a bit, before my father returns from work around 5-ish, but I haven't yet even thought about anything more than a hot shower, which would be delecatble right now since it is simply freezing in my basement. Perhaps, if I showered, that would lead to my cleaning the bathroom, which must be done, it's a hell-hole in there!

And I still need to decide if I want to head over to Orry's tonight, or not. Because I wouldn't be going until around 8-ish, and I have to work the next day at 9am, which means I'd need to come home for the night, so I'd only be able to stay for two hours or so, and is it really worth it? Because I mean, the bus ride alone is almost as long as my actual stay would be. Hmmmmm...

I got paid today , yay! Now I don't have to worry about how far I can stretch my 20$. Darn 88$ paycheques, what is this world coming to? Speaking of which, I will have to put up with it again in the coming weeks since I am not working the next two Saturdays. Quel horreur! I am going to be SOOOOOOO poor!!! Ah well, I guess you can't win 'em all, and I suppose I should just learn to budget! That would be beneficial indeed.

GAH! AMAZING SITES!!!

OK, I have 2 amazing sites for you.

1) http://www.emotioneric.com/

I seriously laughed my bum off.

Hola. Wow. It's been a week. It feels like more. I miss TPMB. I didn't even go on it much when it was "alive," but now that it's gone, I miss everyone. Reading journal entries isn't the same as participating in conversation-like messages. *Sigh*

I have a MySpace now (yup, finally jumped on ye olde bandwagon), the URL is myspace.com/aislingb, so add me to your friends list biatch.

We started our audition unit in Drama, and I finally chose a contemporary piece. In it, I am a 15 year old girl called "Wildflower" (actually, her name is Ruth, but she's called Widlflower...?) who is trying to explain to a younger girl that my dad doesn't want to marry her mom, he wants to be with her dad. Yup. Apparently, our fathers are living together. My teacher said it was "intense." I think I'd prefer my contemporary to be "intense," though, because then when I do my classical I won't have to worry about emotion, I can just play a happy, bubbly part (which is what I'm good at.). In any case, all I have to do it for is to pass, I don't plan on being an actor like most of the people in my class anyway.

I am so psyched because today is Thursday, and normally on Thursday we have double math (i.e. math for 1h10mins, lunch for 35 mins, math for 1h10mins) but TODAY is Parent/Teacher interviews, so we only have 1 math class so we leave early and the teachers can eat and stuff so they're not passing out or throwing up on parents. Yup, that's the gist of it, I think. Anyway, it's good because I HATEHATEHATE math. However, I shall not be going to P/T interviews, on account of I did not tell my mom, and I have a 59% in the despised math class. I can't tell my mom that, because she'd kill me, so that's that. P/T interviews are weird anyway. I mean, why make the Drama Teacher go to them? Firstly, who fails drama? And secondly, whose parents care if their child fails drama? I mean, sure, I'd be concerned that my child is obviously terminally stupid for failing drama, but it's DRAMA.

Anyway, enough out of me.

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY TO MY FRIEND ANNE!!!!

Yup, it's Anne's 18th. So, today, we went downtown to Moxie's and Lissa bought her a 2oz shooter and we all shared cloud pancakes. Wow, by the way, quelle amazing pancakes. Then, at lunch, we went to Shoppers Drug Mart and bought scratch&win tickets and cigarettes. I obviously don't smoke, but I did scratch a ticket. Mraculously, I won.....

NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, amazing huh?

Now we're chillaxing at the library, then we shall go to Canadian Tire and use my discount for candy, then we shall go to see a movie. I think we're seeing "V For Vendetta," which shall be good. Oh and before we came here we went to the Superstore Liquor Store and Anne bought a shooter to mix into her pop when we go to the film. YAY FOR ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES!!!! Which by the way, she is on a roll, giving minors cigarettes and lottery tickets.

OK, so it's 19 days until my 18th birthday.... wow.

And I don't think I'm going to the graduation banquet afterall. Because I don't feel like spending all that money on an overrated, 5 hour long event. So, yes, I'll keep y'all posted on that one, won't I?

Yes, yes I will.

Well, now I am bored with my weekly entry, so bye.

I LOVE YOU (my TPMB GRRRLLZ, not you stalkers....)

V for Vendetta

Oh my GOD, I have a new favourite movie...

V for Vendetta

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I loved it or how amazing it was. It was just....

... really funny how we decided to go see it! Because we were deciding between seeing "Brokeback Mountain" (which I LOVVVVED and was filmed just outside my city) and "V for Vendetta," and all three of us decided on "V for Vendetta," because we thought the other two wanted to see it. Meanwhile we were all silently thinking it was going to suck! But it didn't! It was spectacularily fantastic!

Yesterday I put in my two weeks notice at work. I'm sad because I love everyone I work with. I don't love making minimum wage while everyone else in the city is making way more than me and I've worked there for a year and four months. So I'm done.

Yesterday I also wrote a letter to Lissa's friend Shane who is serving in Iraq right now in the American army. The actual letter writing was fun, but now the war seems freakier, having a face to put to it. I don't know Shane that well, because we only spoke through MSN and that was 3 years ago, but he makes Lissy happy so he must be alright. I'm really worried about the Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan right now aswell. It's also scary to know there are boys out there, not much older than my friends and I putting their lives on the line for a cause they believe in. Even if I don't believe in the cause (which i kind of don't- I'm definately anti-war for any reason), it's still amazing.

Well, that's my update! Later....

(Oh yeah, and I forgot about Beebs, who falls into both categories as a TPMB grrrrl and a stalker. Sorry dahling!)

I just really love payday.... I mean, wow. I have money again and can therefore buy stuff that I need. Like coffee.

New layout-majigger. Yup. Featuring my favourite movie, "V for Vendetta." So, that's always fun.

I'm kind of liking Xanga now. But I like it better without ads. Maybe I shall splurge and get their uber special account deely! Yes....

Well, I have to go to school now. The last day before spring break, what fun!!!!

6 DAYS UNTIL MY 18TH BIRTHDAY!!!!

Well, wellll.It's SO SAD! My Spring Break is OVER and I haven't accomplished anything!!!! I didnt even GLANCE at my math assignments, which isn't really a big surprise, but I MEAN, COME ON... I did work a bit.... a lot, actually. Saturday was sad though, knowing that it was my last Saturday with everyone. (Did I mention that I quit my job?) So.... my last day is Wednesday. That'll be.... meh. I don't want to say sad, because this was my decision, but I will miss everyone. I wouldn't be leaving if they paid me what everyone else gets paid. I mean, I make JUST OVER minimum wage, and I've worked there for a year and five months. Even McDonald's is hiring people at over 10$ an hour, and I'm only making 7$. Sure, that was fine when I was sixteen, and it was my first job, but I'm going to be eighteen on Saturday, I can't afford it anymore!!!! Anyway, I like finding new jobs and filling out applications, so that'll be good.

Ummm.....at the moment I really diggin' "Rent." Wow. And I saw this movie on Family called "High School Musical," which made me laugh. That's a little embarassing on account of its for preteens and I will be an adult in 6 days. Ah well, I'm young at heart.

And... that's all I can come up with! Talk to you later!!!!

P.S. Oh yeah, I'm a vegetarian again.

2 DAYS UNTIL MY 18TH BIRTHDAY

Ugh. My parents suck. I HATEHATEHATE them. They're not letting me go to Drama Festival because I have a 55% in math. OK....

1) Drama Festival is a course REQUIREMENT for Drama 30.

2) I'm NOT good at math. I SHOULD be in applied math. It is a MIRACLE that I even have a 55 in pure math.

3) My teacher teaches everything SO STUPIDLY. Like, he'll be teaching it, and then he'll be like "that's not right," but he's not genuinely confused, he is trying to make us "learn," so we start over and do it properly, except for one problem I'VE ALREADY LEARNED IT THE WRONG WAY.

So, yeah, I'm almost 18 and my life is miserable. I wish my parents would just LAY OFF and respect and accept the fact that I am an ADULT and am therefore responsible for my own actions. Besides, I won't be living there next year anyway- If I get accepted into Katimavik I'll be somewhere else in the country, and if I don't I'm definately going to move in with friends. BECAUSE I CAN'T TAKE IT. RAWWWWWRRRRrrrrrrrr.

Anyway, last night was my last night working at Canadian Tire. I am surprisingly sad. When Kathryn came to say goodbye to me I got all wistful and teary. But I did have awesome cake. Ice cream cake. With Oreo, Crispy Crunch, Skor and Smarties on top. Yum yum yum.

Whoooot! 18!!!!!!!

Things I did on my 18th bday....

1) Ate a 7ft crepe!!! It was chocolate, banana, nutella and almonds with ice cream and I got it in Kensington from this place called the Danube cafe. AWESOME!!!!

2) Bought lottery tickets. I spent 5$ and won 1$ WHOOOOOTTTTtt.

3) Went to the liquor store and joined their club. Hehheh, got a tag for my keys!

4) Went to The Ship And Anchor for dinner. Yum.

5) Watched HP PoA, to round it all off in a kiddy kinda way!

Then, today, I drank 4 bottles of Mudshakes. Yum. So sweet.... and DON'T be hatin' on the cheep coolers, I'll have you know that I am le cheapest drunk you will ever meet. So my 5% alkie-habit is finnnnnne.

Audition Drama Thingy Today!!!

Today is the long-awaited audition-thing my drama class is doing for a guy from Theatre Calgary (...I think... maybe ATP????). I have my classical and contemporary pieces memorized, but I haven't shown the classical to anyone. I was SUPPOSED to yesterday during the first period 3 (my Spare) but then the guy I was supposed to show was all "busy" and just made me wait for him. So, the second period I was like "screw it," and went out for a belated-birthday lunch with Anne. Yayyyyyy. So, today is the audition. But I have to leave before he critiques us 'cause I have a doctor's appointment :(

Oh yeah, and yesterday when returning from lunch Anne and I came upon a man in a wheelchair, trying to get into our school. Which is impossible. Firstly, our school is almost 100 years old, and there are stairs everywhere. My friend Mel had an accident in grade 10 and was in a wheelchair and she couldn't come to school for months! Then, he told us he was trying to get to the band room. Which is in the basement. Yes, a flight of MARBLE STAIRS, down into the abyss. So, we told him there was a door about 100ft over with only a small step he could try, then he could travel around the first floor where there are a few ramps, but other than that.... And he said thanks, and we asked if he wanted us to fetch someone from the office, and he said no, and I don't know what happened, but I was late for French. So, I went to French, and M. Ward asked me why I was late, and I told him about the man, and he marked me late. Then he finished attendance, and said "I'm not gonna mark you late for helping a handicapped man...." and erased it. Which I found funny.

Ahhhhh, my life is boring, so now I shall go to school.

[Edit] Ahhhhhhhhh, I forgot!!! Thursday I'm going to see Jay Crocker (my parentals music teacher) at the Warehouse.... but that's not that exciting. On SUNDAY however, I'm going to see Protest The Hero, THE SPILL CANVAS (<3),> and other bands at the Underground!!!! Whhhooot! [/Edit]

The last few days....

Well, what happened? Hmmm....

Well, first I was grouned, then....

On Thursday we (as in my parentals, Anne and I) went to the Warehouse to see jay perform. It was hecka fun. Except don't drinka RedBull and then a Bacardi and then a RedBull because you get MAJOR hiccups, and its just not fun. And don't dance with your RedBull either because it's carbonated, ha ha. Anyway, it was BLASTFUL, so Whhhheeeee. Oh yeah, and I didn't get ID'd when I went in, squeeeeeeeeeeee......

Then on Friday I was REALLY bored, ALL DAYYYYyyyyyyyy. Then Justine phoned me and told me she and Lissa were bored. So we 3-wayed Lissa and I told them they should bake together, so they decided they would except it was 7pm and it would take Justine 2 hours to get to Lissa's. And then I was feeling all left out, and sad because I couldn't go and then my mom said I could go if my room was clean and I did some laundry!!! So, I did, because I live wayyyyyy closer to Lissa than Justine does (as in about 10 minutes away). Then my mom told me I'd have to take the bus or walk because gas prices are so high (104.5$/L guys!!!! GAHHHHhhh!), but then my dad said he'd drive me because he has a company truk so the gas is payed for by his company. So, we drove to meet Lissa and Justine at Sobeys (which was still open- wow), and I blasted RENT because it is such a great soundtrack. Then we got there and Lissa told me to go buy a bottle of Vodka. And I walked in to the Liquor Store and there were four guys a used to work with. And one of them goes "I never knew you were eighteen!" and I was like "Yup, last week," and then I grabbed this huge bottle of vodka and went to pay and since I am part of the Liquor Club, it only cost me (or Liss, technically) 16$!!!! Yayyyy. So, we went to Lissy's (my dad drove us, so more yayyyyys) and she made Sex in A Pan. Except there were no nuts so it was Lesbian Sex in A Pan. And it was SOOOOOO good. She also made yummy punch with our vodka, and we ordered pizza. Yummy. Then we stayed up until 2am, which made it my second night a row being out past 2. Then the next morning, Lissa made Jim's waffles, as always, and I ate one with sex in a pan on top.

Then my parents picked me up, and we went shopping, and I got a wonderful recipe book for easter to put (duh) recipes in!!! YAY! And I bought the Panic! CD and The Spill Canvas CD.

Then yesterday, we had Easter dinner, and I made yummy broccolli and cheese casserol. And I was SUPPOSED to go see Bayside/The Spill Canvas <3>

And now I should be going to school except I have a drama time comp, so YAYYyyyyyy, I can laze around and catch a ride with my dad and brother when they go to the doctor!

Wow..... long entry.

Yesterday, I flashed a group of people downtown....

I didn't mean to! I swear! I was just walking, wearing a flowy skirt and not paying attention when Anne walked over this grate. So, I followed her, thinking she wanted to turn off into some shop, or something, and that it was just a sewer. No luck. Vent. So my skirt goes up and I scream and try to get it down, but my screaming only attracts attention, so everyone is staring, and I try to move off the vent, but I can't do that AND hold down my skirt, and OH MY GOD, what a catastrophe! Then, at the next corner a lady made fun of me for trying the whole Marilyn Monroe thing, and I almost wished the vent had sucked me in, or blew me to Jupiter, or anything but be on that street at that moment.

Anne says she's going to tell everyone, too.

OK. Something that's been bothering me lately, since I turned 18 and started going places- why is public drunkeness okay? Don't get me wrong, I like drinking as much as the next girl, but WHY ON EARTH WOULD ANYONE WANT TO BE SHITFACED AROUND STRANGERS?!?!?!?! Ugh. I can understand going to a friends house where it's just people you know, and maybe letting yourself go, but.... say, going to a bar to meet a guy you met in a bar, who you know nothing about except that he has a sweet car and a RAZR phone, and then getting nearly-plastered with him and his friends who are over 7 years older than you? Ugh. It's disgusting, in my opinion. LEARN YOUR LIMITS AND USE YOUR HEAD.

Anyway....

I need a new job, so I should really type up my resume, maybe I'll start that now, or soon....

I JUST WANNA SCREAM

I found out this morning that the doctors have given my uncle two years to live. He has Hepititus C..... And I'm REALLY pissed, because my aunt phoned to tell my mom RIGHT BEFORE she had to go to work. As in, she was almost out the door, and then she had to drive to work TOTALLY UPSET and ALONE. I don't even know what to say....

I'm still sick, and matinees are today, and I didn't feel like going to school straight-off, so I phoned my brother and I in 'late' for this morning. Then I won't have to have classes until 2. Nice.

Um.... yup. Performance week, and I'm SICK. It sucks SO BAD. Plus all this STRESS. I just want July to come so I can run away.

That's all I have the energy for. Sorry.
