Ok, so those of you reading this right now are thinking .. "Now Shle, why aren't you in one of two places? Either Bed, or School?"
And my answer to that is because I dont feel like bieng in bed, and because im far too sick to be at school. It was suggested that I got my sickness over the phone from my brother, but that's not the case, because he has a cold, I have a migrane. In fact, sitting here right now, I dont even have any music playing, which is soooooo unlike me.
SO! Unlike all the other blithering masses, I have decided what to do next year. No, this does not mean that I know what I'm doing with my life, but I do know what Im doing in September. Im going to go to Alliance University-College, in Calgary. (Formerly known as Canadian Bible College) This whole Idea only came to me a couple of days ago, sure I had thought about it, and turned the idea over in my mind a million times. But I had never seriously considered it. So.. now all I have to do is apply, and I've been advised to wait till YC to do so, because .. 1. there will be someone to talk to about it, and 2. The Application form will not Download onto my messed up computer. Oh well. I did download the res application, tho, which is interesting. I am totally psyched about this. Not only will I be learning more about Christ, and *hopefully* growing in my Faith and Relationship with him, I get to start all over again, make a bunch of new friends, and learn, if only a little, to be a bit more independant. When Mike moved out, he had it rough, man. Me, I'm going to be a bit lucky, cause Mike will be there with me, and everything will be a tiny bit easier. We'll be able to chill out together, hopefully, and he can show me around the city. I wont get lost! and i'll have some family with me on my ninteenth birthday! OH NO! I WONT BE HOME ON MY NINTEENTH BIRTHDAY! :(
WOW! Well, that's a year away, mabye my parents will come visit me. Ha ha that would be dope. I tell you one thing, though. Im sure going to miss my baby cousins and all my aunts and uncles. and of course my grandma and grandpa. Yes, I am planning this all out right now, that's how excited I am.
I dont know what I'm going to do without my friends either! I'll sure miss you alot. Whitney, Tricia, Sam, Kelsey. Oh MY!
It's going to be so wierd. and my room! Oh things are changing, I'll have to get used to it, laminate a bunch of photographs and take them with me to stick to my wall and all over my space.. So you'd better start posing for some pics for me.. AND you'd better be prepared to talk to me on the phone ALL THE TIME! WOW!
this is such a big step in my life, and right now, I dont think I could be more excited about it. Seriously, I'm more excited about this than the fact that I'm going to Jamaica in 125 days.. And that I'm going to be eighteen in 4 days!
WAAAA HOOOOOO!
Life is changing rapidly, like LRT whizzing around the city of Calgary. (for those of you who don't know what LRT is, it's like the sky train, except in Calgary, and it's called the C-Train instead.)
WOW! Ok, wellll, I should get off to bed then, try to get rid of this headache.
Love you all,
Love Forever: Shle

"It's been so long since I have met You here
Since I have said these words and cried these tears
And like a child would come I run into our secret place
And as the music fades the tears are rolling down my face
I am alive in this moment
In this moment I am found
I am alive in this moment
In this moment I belong"

and I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Hey good afternoon! I am extremely sorry that I havent updated in like.. forever, but.. What can I say, it's not easy bieng in grade 12. I have so much homework all the time, and plus, my job, and random grad events. Take tomorrow for example. Our grad cruise has been rescheduled for tomorrow, instead of in November. So that should be fun, hopefully they'll let us on the boat this time. Anyways, tonight, im going to be filling in at work for a friend of mine, who has to write some sort of english exam or something like that. I was going to go to the coffee house at Bean around the world, and chill with Sam, Whit and her new student from Japan, but nope. Im working instead, which isnt too bad, it's not usually too busy on Tuesdays, so .. I'll live. Make some money, chill with Louisa. Should be interesting. She has black hair now, which is kinda scary, but , I cant expect anything less from Louisa..(lol)
Anyways. This day was kinda boring, 'cause .. It just was. School.. Bah!
We started watching "the Day after tomorrow" today, which I had seen awhile back, it's not the best movie in the world, it bores me, to be honest. Thank God for MP3 players!
Wow, words can't describe how excited I am about Gradding! I keep thinkin about the dinner dance - it's going to be awesome. I can't wait to see everyone all dolled up in their super expensive dresses and tux's. It's kinda funny, 'cause my mom has already planned how Im going to wear my hair, though I told her to chill, in the end, it's my call. She also tried to convince me to wear knee highs with my dress, but I explained to her that my feet will just slide around in the sandals if I do that, and that no one is going to see my feet anyways, cause the dress covers it. Ohhhh! I cant wait till I get my dress in a couple a months! Then I have to go in for my fitting, which will be so fun, just cause I'll get to try the dress on again, lol. And my Grandma is going to come with, and it's my bet that she'll start crying when she sees me in it, which will start my mom crying, and it will just be one big cry fest. No, I dont think I'll start, but you never know.
So for the past, like, couple of weeks, the weather has been insane amazing. Sunshine everyday, It's been awesome. I think it's putting everyone (almost everyone) in a good mood, or at least helping. It's nearly spring, and contrary to popular belief, Spring is indeed the most wonderful time of the year. You know me, Im not all flowery and gushy, but it's just something about spring that makes me smile. Flowers, Sunshine, and .... closer to summer, which is what I really love.
Guess what, it's my birthday in like.. 10 days, and I have no Idea what Im going to do, or if Im going to do anything. BAH! I have to work on my actual b-day, A friday, I dont feel like asking for it off, just 'cause Im going away on spring break (YOUTH CONFERENCE!!!!) and then again in the summer, and If I can avoid it, I dont want to take too much time off.
On monday, March 1st, we are having a dance at the school, it's celebrities-theme. So Im going to "borrow" (Without permission) this hat from Mrs. Cook and dress up like Bob Marley.. It's gonna be dope. If I cant manage to find that hat in the costume room, I know where I can get one, it's no problem at all.
Anyways, I have to go to work, I hope you all have an amazing night, Love you all!
Love Forever : Shle

Style and Grace for the Curvacious
Hey good afternoon. It's three pm, I just got back home.
Today I spent the late moring-early aftenoon shopping for a grad dress with my mom. First, we went to this place on Esplanade, called Isabelles Bridal, and the dresses were indeed gorgous, but ridiculously overpriced. The cheapest dress I saw was about six hundred dollars. And there wasnt much selection. But there was this one dress in the window that was absoloutely gorgeous, it was a deep red.
But we moved on to Hastings from there, which was the smartest thing ever. First we went into Tifannys New York, which was alright, but the dresses were all too small, Then the lady was like, there's a Tifannys Plus a couple of stores up the street, mabye you'd find something you like there, and indeed, we did. The store was called "Tifannys Plus - Style and Grace for the Curvacious". The first dress I tried on was Light blue, and sorta nice, it fanned out on the bottom, like all of them. Then I tried on this deep red one, which I absoloutely loved. I absoloutely loved it... But my mom suggested I try on this third one, which was sorta turquiouse, with pink flowers, and green leaves. I also tried another, which was pinkish. I felt like a disney princess... :D All of them were absoloutely gorgeous, and the funny part was, this girl was there trying on wedding dresses, and my mom suggested she try on this nice one, and she tried it on, and LOVED it! it was quite random. Anyways, back to me. Im not going to tell you which dress I bought today, because It's a suprise. But I did indeed buy a dress today, and I cannot wait for grad. It's nice cause I even have a date for grad, which I sort of didnt expect to happen...
For Grad, my Grandparents have bought me this diamond-white gold cross, and it's going to go gorgeous with my dress. I cannot wait till the dinner-dance, my grandparents are going to be there, and my parents.. Woooooo ... Ok, so what else? Oh yeah. Apparenly while I was gone out to clean the car, my mom called my grandma and grandpa and told them about it, and they started to all cry, cause .. "Im growing up"?
Im kinda glad I wasnt there to see that, cause then I would have felt bad and stopped growing. Ha ha ha.. (I love you, even though Im growing up!)
Anyways, so yeah. That was my day. And Now im going to work.. So I hope you have a great afternoon, after all, it is a gorgeous day out there.
I love you all!

"We can do it, we can do it
We can help our Cinderelly
We can make her dress so pretty
There's nothing to it, really
We'll tie a sash around it
Put a ribbon through it
When dancing at the ball
She'll be more beautiful than all
In the lovely dress we'll make for Cinderelly"

Can you do the work?
Hi, good evening. Sincerest apologies for not updating every day, I just lack inspiration lately, which kinda sucks. Valentines Day has come and gone, leading me only closer to my eighteenth birthday. Im quite excited for it.
So on Valentines Day itself, it was Trestons Birthday, so I called and talked to him for a bit, and I also got a phone call from Debo, who also lives in Jamaica. So that was the start of my day. It was pleasant. Then I went to school, as usual. After school, Tricia came over and we tried unsuccessfully to burn some CD'S for her collection. Something went wrong, and after three wasted CD's, I called it quits. Then we went to subway, where we enjoyed a .. sub... lol.. After that, I decided that I didnt want to go home right away, so we went to see a movie. When we got to the theatre, we decided right away that we both wanted to see "Finding Neverland". All in all, we made a great decision. The movie was quite well done, I was very impressed. It was a bonus that Johnny Depp played a sexy Irish man. Ha ha. Anyways, all that aside, it was an amazing movie, it even made me cry in the end. Not alot of movies can do that for me. Anyways, bravo to Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet and all that jazz.
SOOOO yeah. That was my valentines day. Quite unromantic, if you ask me, but that's ok. It's not all about romance, all the time.
So this morning was alright, It began with a dentist appointment at eight AM, which was totally gross. My face was frozen most of the day. Yik.
I've just found out that we are presenting our speeches in Dynamics next week. Do you think that I've even begun writing mine? Nope. I have NO idea whatsoever what kind of object to use to introduce myself. So im kinda stuck there. Anyways, then I worked tonight, which was alot of good fun, cause I worked with Eddie, who I NEVER get to work with! He's a great guy, I enjoy working with him. : )
Aaand.. yeah. After work tonight, I headed over to Bean Around the World, and linked up with Sam and Gracie, I was hoping to see Sam sing tonight, but he had already performed, which sucked. But he was totally amazing.. How do I know? Just that EVERY single person to walk by him told him how awesome they thought he was. Dont get me wrong, I dont need people telling sam that he's good for me to know that. I already knew it, infact, I knew it before all of them, muahahahah I win. I wonder if I actually was .. sort of.. the first person to know that in Canada. Right. Well Im just bieng sort of random here. Ohhh ohh guess what?
... Shezbat... I totally forgot what I was just going to type here.. That's aquard. Ha ha, that was a blonde moment. I was blonde as a baby you know. Mabye some of that is shining through.
Anyways, this has got to be cut short, 'cause it's 11pm, and I have school in the morning, and Im extremely tired. I hope you have a great night, love you all.
Love Forever: Shle

"You're the one thing
I can't get enough of

No I never felt like this before

And I owe it all to you"

Hard to believe
Hi, good afternoon everyone. Im extremely sorry that I havent updated lately, I've tried multiple times, but I could never get past the first paragraph. I guess Im just not motivated or .. whats that word.. inspired. I dont know what to write about. I figured I should update cause I have missed quite a few days! oops!
Anyways, tomorrow is Valentines day, I got a card in the mail from my parents, and that's all Im really expecting for that holiday, cause it's not like back in the day where we all got class lists, and made out valentines for every single person in the class. Those were so much fun, I remember doing that up to, like grade four, when we were "growing up". That was alot of fun. I ended up buying valentines Day cards for a couple of people, but they never got mailed. I bought the card, filled it out, then decided not to send it. A waste of about three dollars, if you ask me. Oh well, I guess it was the thought that counted. Or something like that.
Anyways, Friday was my Daddys Birthday, so props to him. On thursday night, I came home from work and from 10:30 to 1:00 am, I tried to figure out how to put together this chair mom had bought him. See, it would have been easy if it had come with instructions. But no. No, that part was left out. So I figured it out eventually, and now Dad has a nice new chair. Friday night, we went out for dinner to Andreas, the resturaunt around Lonsdale, My aunt Jana knows something about that resturaunt, but even so, I still like going there. (Ha Ha)
Then on Saturday, ... what did I do? ? (Oh MY goodness!)
Oh yeah! I woke up around ten, and went to the mall, I had to buy something for myself, then I came home. My Grandma and Grandpa came over for a light lunch, to wish Daddy a happy BDay, then, we went out for dinner at the Keg with two dear friends of ours, Pete and Jude Sattler. It was an interesting evening. Remind me not to go to the Keg again unless I've struck it rich suddenly. (Ha Ha)
But all in all, it was an amazing dinner, the food was awesome!
So then, I went over to Tricias house, we chatted with Jim and MJ for awhile upstairs, that was good fun. I looked at their vacation pictures from New Brunswick this Christmas. We discussed our summer plans, hopefully we might get a chance to go to Cannon Beach for a couple of days when I get back from my trip. (That's in Oregon, btw.. It's gorgeous there, though I've never been. It's the Oregon coast, of course it's gorgeous!) Anyways, then The four of us (Tricia, Jim (her dad), MJ and Me) went downstairs and Watched Sharks Tale, an awesome movie if you ask me. But I lost interest halfway thru, because I was exteremly tired. Around 12:30, I went home, and slept till I woke up this morning.
Anyways, I worked today, and now .. here I am.. Not much else is interesting. I just got emailed my flight itinerary for Jamaica. .. Just randomly. That was great, lol. Anyways, Just letting you know I'm Alive, I love y'all tons.
Love forever:
Shle

Test of your muiscal knowledge.
Hey, Good Evening!
Whats new with you? Well, I woke up this morning with a pathetically bad headache, and after trying for about 20 minutes to get through to mom on the phone, (the seycove secrateries were neglecting their duties) I got dressed and headed down to get her permission to go back to bed. Ha ha, Ironic, isn't it? So anyways, I went to the school, and then came back home, and chilled all day long. For awhile, I slept, then I woke up and watched "Runaway Bride". About three quarters of the way through, a friend called, and really confused me by asking me if I had gone to Jamaica yet. At first, I thought I knew who it was, then when he asked me if I had gone yet, I thought, no, it couldn't be, cause he knows Im not leaving till summer, and then it turns out it was who I thought it was in the first place, and I have NO idea how he got the idea that I would have already gone to Jamaica. ANYWAYS! So I watched that movie, then another friend of mine called me, and I spent a loooong time on the phone with him, which was good for me, cause I miss him alot. (It was Rayon, for those of you who are confused) So then, I finished the movie, which was really awesome, cause I never remembered how it ended, and, typical for Julia Roberts, It was a brilliant ending.
SOOOOOOO THEN, My mom and dad came home, and mom went out right away, then Dad and I were left to get supper prepped. So what do we do? Put our faith into trusty Little Ceasars, and safeway for some salad. lol. So I went up there, and got dinner ready, and then we ate our pizza, which was alright, kinda .. greasy and that.
BUT Aside from all the randomness of my life.. Well that's about it.. My life is quite random.. And I have nothing else to say, I've just completely lost my train of thought. It must've gotten lost. Well THAT sucks!
Hey... Heres something I need to say.. IF YOU ARE READING THIS, TAKE ONE SECOND OUT OF YOUR LIFE AND POST A COMMENT, OR I WILL NOT UPDATE THIS ANYMORE. THANK YOU
Oh, and the lyrics of the day are ... a mystery. and If you know who the singer is, and the title of the song, you win ... something cool. Like ... My approval!
Ha ha
Have a good day.
Love Forever: Shle

"Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time
When I look at what my life's been comin' to
I'm all about lovin' you "
Whats new with you? Well, I woke up this morning with a pathetically bad headache, and after trying for about 20 minutes to get through to mom on the phone, (the seycove secrateries were neglecting their duties) I got dressed and headed down to get her permission to go back to bed. Ha ha, Ironic, isn't it? So anyways, I went to the school, and then came back home, and chilled all day long. For awhile, I slept, then I woke up and watched "Runaway Bride". About three quarters of the way through, a friend called, and really confused me by asking me if I had gone to Jamaica yet. At first, I thought I knew who it was, then when he asked me if I had gone yet, I thought, no, it couldn't be, cause he knows Im not leaving till summer, and then it turns out it was who I thought it was in the first place, and I have NO idea how he got the idea that I would have already gone to Jamaica. ANYWAYS! So I watched that movie, then another friend of mine called me, and I spent a loooong time on the phone with him, which was good for me, cause I miss him alot. (It was Rayon, for those of you who are confused) So then, I finished the movie, which was really awesome, cause I never remembered how it ended, and, typical for Julia Roberts, It was a brilliant ending.
SOOOOOOO THEN, My mom and dad came home, and mom went out right away, then Dad and I were left to get supper prepped. So what do we do? Put our faith into trusty Little Ceasars, and safeway for some salad. lol. So I went up there, and got dinner ready, and then we ate our pizza, which was alright, kinda .. greasy and that.
BUT Aside from all the randomness of my life.. Well that's about it.. My life is quite random.. And I have nothing else to say, I've just completely lost my train of thought. It must've gotten lost. Well THAT sucks!
Hey... Heres something I need to say.. IF YOU ARE READING THIS, TAKE ONE SECOND OUT OF YOUR LIFE AND POST A COMMENT, OR I WILL NOT UPDATE THIS ANYMORE. THANK YOU
Oh, and the lyrics of the day are ... a mystery. and If you know who the singer is, and the title of the song, you win ... something cool. Like ... My approval!
Ha ha
Have a good day.
Love Forever: Shle

"Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time
When I look at what my life's been comin' to
I'm all about lovin' you "

Tiny Smiles
Hello To you all out there in internet land. What's new? Well, today was fairly average, I went to school as usual, had all the usual classes, it was good fun. Then, I came home, and checked the mail. Suprise of all suprises, there was a letter from me! It was addressed by my cousin Nicole (I can tell her handwriting) but from Coleton! I opened it to find a short but sweet little letter, with a cross made out of some sort of straw. It made my day. Then I read the letter again, and Realized that it was the exact same letter I had sent him awhile back, except the "big Cousin Ashley" was changed to "little cousin Coleton" . It absoloutely made my day. It was so sweet! I love you very much coleton! You made my day super cool!
Then, I changed the music on my Mp3 player, and headed on a walk to the cove. I'll be honest, I had an alterior motive, I wasn't just going on a random walk. It was a beautiful day, though, and If I didnt already have plans to meet with Duane, I might've gone on a random walk anyways. SO YEAH! I got to the cove, and went into the store that I used to visit every week as an elementary school child. Yep. The corner store. Walking around in the cove brought back memories of Grade seven, and Chillen with Claudia and Aleta back in the day. Those were the days. I got some candy, (which I've just realized is still in my backpack! wicked!) and then headed over to Honey's doughnuts, where I was supposed to meet Duane in ten minutes. (for those of you who don't know, Duane is the Youth Pastor from North Shore Alliance Church) So as I was sitting there, outside Honeys, I was looking out at the DC mountians and the ocean, and just thinking about random things. All of the sudden, this little boy walked by with his mommy, and just smiled at me, and said "hello!"
I've realized something. Children, above all other creatures on this earth, have an amazing gift. It's called love. Children are God's gift to us, even teenagers. Two children are what made my day today. Two children who are full to the brim with the love of Christ, even if they know not who he is. Who else do you know who will walk by and say hello to a random? I don't know alot of people my age who would do that. Or alot of people who would even make eye contact with a stranger, a small smile.
Think about it. When was the last time that you smiled or said hello to someone on the street? Just randomly. Someone you didnt know. What about someone who looked down? Well it made my day. Mabye if we all would reach out, offer a simple smile to someone out there, who knows what kind of impact it might have? It might (and I know I'm bieng dramatic here, but seriously) save someone's life one day.
And also, how amazing would it feel to just go around and smile? Or to say a kind word to someone you've never met. Could this world possibly become a better place ? It sure can, and we have the power to do that. Don't think that just because you are young, that you can't have an impact on this world. Dont think that because you are older, that you can't do it. If it were up to everyone else, then what would the purpose be?It's up to you and me. *Shrugs*
I dunno, I just thought that mabye more people could use a friendly smile once in awhile. I know that it made my day. Imagine what it would do for others?
Just a few thoughts.
Anyways, so now Im gonna go eat some spagetti, hope your evening is amazing. I love you all!
love forever: Shle

without my wings I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And every time I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you baby"

Little things mean the most
Hey Good Evening Everyone.
It's eight thirty five, which is crazy! It seems like the day passed in a flurry of ... fast things.. At first, When I updated this morning, I was barely half awake. So anyways, after the whole U2 Ticket fiasco, I went and lay down on my bed with the intention of chillen for ten minutes or so.. Three hours later (at 1230) I woke up. Ha ha, so much for chillen. It appears I need more than five hours of sleep in a night. So anyways, I woke up, and had a nice hot shower, I was soo cold! Then I got all bundled up, and made my way to the roof, where I detached the christmas lights from our peak. It's about time, eh? Ha ha, that's so Canadian of me. So then, after mabye an hour of wrestling with those lights, and putting them away in the basement, I came inside. Dad had an appointment, and when he came back, He built a fire (It was still freezing cold) and we played cards from that time to about seven thirty pm, even through dinner! It was good fun, we started off with countless games of crazy eights, which we were both super at, we both beat each other numerous times. Then, Dad taught me this game called Rummy, which was good fun. The first set we played, I kicked his butt, and the second set, he was kicking my ass till I got like two hundred points in one game, and took the lead. Then, the final set, Dad kicked my butt harsh! Then, I decided to teach him Speed, which was great fun, cause I kept winning, and then dad made a decision.. "I dont like this game" Ha ha, it was alot of fun, I got a bit of a headache from laughing so hard.
These very experiences are the ones that I will remember throughout my lifetime. Years from now, I'll look back on my relationship with my dad, and remember all the times when I would be driving us somewhere, and we'd just talk about nothing in particular. The hours we spent playing cards at Cultis lake, the times we rowed across Ioco.Concerts, Hockey games.. Chillen out at the river. Even measuring jobs. When I go with my dad, sometimes he even lets me choose the music. (Out of respect, Rap, Reggae, and Evanescence is left at home) For instance, today, Dad let me play U2, Dashboard Confessional, Dave Matthews Band, and even Matthew Good Band! I even put on "the great depression mix" That has a bunch of rock and classic rock on it. I like to look back, even now, and think about all the times Dad's told me about the concerts he's been to, the time's when he lived out of a VW van, and the other tales of his wild youth.
Those are the stories that I'll be able to pass onto my kids (Trivion and Taya, yes, I know their names already.. ha ha) Stories of the times I've chilled with my dad, and.. Just.. yeah.. I dont really have the talent it takes to be able to explain how these experiences have shaped my life, but.. they have, I have an awesome relationship with my daddy. I wouldn't ask for anything different in our relationship, I love my dad to bits, and I just felt like sharing that with you..
So Dad.. I love you! You have shaped who I am, and who I am still to become. Thank you for your insane amounts of patience as I grew up, and your Love and guidance. I would be lost without you! No one and nothing can or ever will replace you. I hope you know that!
Love Forever: Shle

"A little girl needs Daddy
For many, many things:
Like holding her high off the ground
Where the sunlight sings
Like being the deep music
That tells her all is right
When she awakens frantic with
The terrors of the night.
Like being the great mountain
That rises in her heart
And shows her how she might get home
When all else falls apart.
Like giving her the love
That is her sea and air,
So diving deep or soaring high
She'll always find him there."
Patiently Waiting
Good mornin to ya, How's life treating you?
Well I'm sitting here, nine thirteen on a saturday morning, the one morning on which I could have slept in this weekend (I work on sundays)
waiting for nine thirty. Why, you may ask, is Ashley waiting for nine thirty? Well, my good friends and comrades, the answer lies within the ticketmaster.com website. You see, I am waiting for the U2 Tickets to go on sale, so that my father and I can enjoy this amazing band. We seem to go to alot of events like this together, and when I heard that U2 was coming to Vancouver (the ONLY Canadian city on thier tour) I couldn't resist. U2 is Amazing, there's no way anyone in their right mind would miss this concert. Oh and sorry for your luck if you live in another province. You know, U2 has influenced many bands and artists, They've been around since before I was a kid, they were great then, and they are great now. I am quite excited for this event, it shall prove to be absoloutely amazing.
So, after work last night, I ran into a friend of mine in the parking lot at Parkgate, and then headed down the hill, prepared to watch some good old fashioned BET with Tricia. They usually have some great music videos playing, ranging from rap to reggae. It's good fun. But Alas, when I arrived there last night, I was struck with the bad news that BET was no longer on Tricias Cable .. That made me sad, so Instead, we just chilled. It was indeed a good time.
We even started watching "Pirates of the Caribbean" at around two am, but fell asleep an hour into it. By three we were both dead asleep. Then Will hit Jack over the head with an oar, which woke me up. I mean, who wouldn't wake up when Johnny Depp is inflicted with pain? *sighs* Poor man.
Wow, I tell ya, my hands are really quite cold right now, and that doesn't impress me much. I dont enjoy bieng cold. It's a really gorgeous day today, gorgeous enough for me to consider climbing up on the roof to finally take down our christmas lights, ha ha. Yes, It is indeed february, no, we havent taken down the lights yet. But on the bright side, they've been unplugged for awhile now. Christmas wasn't that big of a thing this year. Usually when we unplug our stuff it makes me all sad, but this year, I kinda shrugged it off.
((Wow, man, another two minutes 'till the tickets go onsale. woooo.. one minute now.. I guess I'll be right back to finish this update))
Wow you know what SUCKS? The concert.. Sold out .. in five minutes. Then, they added another concert and we had tickets, and all set were we to buy them when the internet flashed "Sorry, there was a problem processing your request"
AND THAT MAKES ME UPSET!
Just a wee bit.
Anyways, im gonna go, that dampens my spirits a bit.
Later
Love forever: Shle

He is a cucumber. He has no arms.
Hey Everyone, what's going on? Sorry That I havent updated in a long while, infact, I have updated three or four times since the concert, but the entries just randomly haven't appeared on the website.. So i've begun this new site, with all the old posts on it. I hope you enjoy it. So today was quite the normal day, not too great, not poor either. I spent most of the day so far at school, where I .. was supposed to be learning things, I think.
My new schedule is fairly more hectic than the one I had last semester (can you say: Two classes?) This semester, I am taking Writing, Comparative Civilizations (which is prooving to be quite interesting) Geography, Law, Info Tech, and Finally, Acting, with Capp thrown in there once a week. It's quite the mix, So far, I'm enjoying my classes, of the three day's I've been to them. Law is going to be just a huge workload, I can tell already, We've only had two classes, and already Barter's assigned a twenty minute presentation, and she won't even let me work alone. I'm the kind of person who gets work done better when I work alone, I seriously don't want to work with anyone, but She wont let me do it alone. I already even had a plan, which was trashed when I was assigned a partner. Oh well, I guess you just have to take things and work with them. ANYWAYS!
For Comp Civ, I have to find some sort of Creation Myth from another culture. That's proving to be difficult already. Oh well, I'll figure it out eventually.
So, after I'm done this, I have to get ready for work, suprise, suprise. Sometimes it seems like work is all I do. But It's ok, because I actually like my job. It's not like when I was working at safeway, and I'd dread going to work every time. That sucked. But this job, as i've mentioned in previous posts, I enjoy doing, cause of the people I work with, and.. just the atmosphere in general. I could do without coming home and smelling like subway all the time, but I guess there has to be something. There's ALWAYS something!
Oh well. I guess I should get ready for work, It's been good. I'll update again very soon!
Have an awesome evening, up to de time !
Love forever: Shle

Oh, and I've been holding off on this one for a long while, but I'm just in that kind of mood today! This is a quote from our friend Larry the Cucumber. Ha ha, enjoys it!
"Ten days after I turned 8, Got my lips stuck in a gate My friends all laughed…And I just stood there until the fire department came and broke the lock with a crowbar and I had to spend the next six weeks in lip rehab with this kid named Oscar who got stung by a bee right on the lip and we couldn’t even talk to each other until the fifth week because both our lips were so swollen and when he did start speaking he just spoke polish and I only knew like three words in polish except now I know four because Oscar taught me the word for lip, “oosta”."
