Beofre the dawn

I would really really like to be able to do something witty and funny, sieng how it's technically april fools day......... But I'm not that funny.. SO APRIL FOOLS anyways...
Hope you dont get pranked too much today..

so.. what's new, y'all?
Well, last I heard, Whit was driving around somewhere, and probably bieng driven nuts by her parents, but at the same time having lots of fun.
And amazing news came through today, for those of you who care, Diago has been allowed to come to Canada, and to de-confuzzle you, Diago is Tricias Stepfather from Jamaica. (dont roll your eyes at me.. I can see you do that you know!)
Anyways, so hopefully, We'll be sieng him soon in Canada.
So my life.. Work, and work and work. I now work five days a week, because one of the employees at subway got ... well.. fired. I was amazed to hear that, to be honest, I've never seen anyone so mad in my whole life. (that would be my boss.. Now i'm scared of him) ANyways, so this employee decided that she didn't want to take the garbadge across the parking lot, and so she left it in the recycling bins by safeway, and the owner of .. like... all of parkgate called Ranjit (the boss) and got really mad, and fined him a couple of hundred dollars. Plus, this employee got caught with her boyfriend in the food prep area, and that's a no-no. And the boss thinks she was stealing from the store, as well as giving out free food to her friends, and .. to be honest, the list goes on and on, but it was just one situation that I was not interested in bieng a part of.
so thats that.
This spring break, My aunt and Gramma from Ontario, and my great aunt from Calgary were visiting. It was nice, for most of the time. I drove people around alot, took my Grandma and Great Aunt to the mall a few times. See, I have more patience for that sort of thing than my mom or Aunt Ellie. See, Gramma and Aunt Elaine are the type of people that like to look at every single thing in the store, and then end up buying nothing. And that's ok with me, 'cause I understand it. If I was in a rush or something, that would be different, but I know that sometimes people just like to take their time and chill. That's kind of like me and my mom, when we go shopping, I like to slow down and look at things, even tho I have no money to buy them, and be sort of relaxed when I shop. But mom? No, she knows what she wants, and goes in the store, gets it, and gets the hell out of there. Sometimes, that's ok, but ... it's nice to just chill once in awhile. Anyways, that doesnt matter. THis one night, we were all sittin around in the living room, everyone but my Dad, I think. And.. I started talking with a british accent, just because I could. And to be perfectly honest with you, I have never ever in my whole life seen my grandmother laugh as hard as she did that night. It made me smile, I like making people laugh. Now I'm not sure, it could have been the accent, or the random things that we talked about, but if she wasn't so .. (elderly) ... she would have been rolling on the floor laughing.. instead, she just stayed in her chair. But the point was, it amused her, and that makes me smile.
Grandma and Aunt Elaine were sleeping in my room, and so for most of spring break, I had to sleep on the couch downstairs. For those of you who have been to my house, they might know that the couch downstairs is sooooo uncomfortable.. But I survived, I had a bunch of pillows, and just managed. My back wasnt sore or anything. But now that Grandma and Auntie Ellie and Aunt Elaine are gone, I have my room back, which is nice. But I have to clean it. Cause while they were here, I put the frame back on my bed, and ended up just shoving a bunch of stuff under the bed, so that I wouldnt have to deal with it. THe day they left, tho, I took the frame off that bed, because I hate it. Yes, thats right, I sleep on a matress on the floor. Well, no that's not true, i keep the box-spring there, and the mattress on top of it. ANYWAYS, the point is that I cannot sleep on my bed with the frame under it, because every time I move, the bed rolls across the floor. And I cannot take that. I guess I'm just one of those people who move around alot in their sleep. It's good fun, i have about 8 pillows on my bed, and in the morning, i wake up and I find that I'm surrounded by them. Im hugging one or two, and two more are up against my back, and i've got one under my head, and one on my feet, or around there somewhere. I loooove my pillows. I dont know how I'm going to share my bed when I get married. I guess I'll get used to it.
Speaking of getting married. Ever plan your wedding? Heres a warning, Im going to go teenage on you here. To be perfectly honest, I've thought of sooo many scenarios. The park in spring time, the beach in summer... ahhhhh! The dock at deep cove. My High school cafeteria.. (No, im not kidding you) And my bridesmades. I had a discussion one time with Whit, that my bridesmades were going to wear yellow.. BUT.. I dont know about that, mabye red or light blue.. I have no Idea. I dont even know who they will be. Obviously Whit, Kels, Tricia and Nicole... but I'm sure that before I get married, I'll make more friends. (I hope so anyways) And who's gonna perform the ceremony? Before Mike went off to College, I had possibilities... Floyd? then it was Brian.. Then Dave.. Then Duane, then Sean.. Im thinking if Mike doesnt want to perform the ceremony, or If I dont want him to, I might get Sean to do it.. But.. Like I said.. Who knows? and my dress, oh lord, my dress... I cannot wait for that day, when me, my mom and my grandma, (and mabye a couple of aunties) walk into that store, and I try on wedding dresses and make them all cry... That day will be soooo important to me.... WOWZA! Im getting a bit ahead of myself here. Mabye I should grad first.. But.... In the words of Forrest Gump,
"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get. "

Ok, Last night, I went to the movie with a friend of mine, and we saw this show, called "Guess Who".. It was starring Ashton Kutcher and Bernie Mac, and it was SOOOOOO HILARIOUS!
I just about died laughing! It was sort of like.. ok, not sort of , it was exactly like Meet the parents, except with a racial twist. Ashton was dating this black girl, and her family was like....
"You're datin a white boy? what is wrong with you girl?" and all this kind of stuff, and it was just soooo funnnnnnny! And I've never seen Eddie laugh so hard in my life.. All in all, It was a great night. I had a cappichino too, which was totally gross. I dont know why people like coffee so much. There's a good question.. Why DO people like coffee? Yep.. that's the end of that topic..

Ok, heres another question, random as it may seem, but meaningful none the less. I was in the washroom the other day, brushing my teeth, and I happened to look at the bottle of listerine that was sitting on the counter. On it was a photograph of a man and a woman, nearly naked, and like... about to make out.. QUESTION: why is our world sex-driven.? I'm sure you've heard the phrase "Sex sells" ... WHY? What is it about sex that makes us curious. Why is a commercial for gum about making out? Why do movies with smutty sex scenes in them attract our attention so easily? To that question, my friends, I have no answer. I cannot say that I am different from others, that I am not affected by all this sex around us. We all are, in some way or another.. I just dont know why our society promotes it so much. I was having a talk with my aunt awhile back, about all that sex education and stuff in schools. Back in her day (which wasnt that long ago,) Sex Education was all about Abstinence. (No sex before marriage)
Nowadays, if you walked into a classroom where students were in a sex - education session, it would be telling them all about the safest ways to have sex without getting pregnant or an STD.
Now, that's not bad, but I cant say that it's good either. Sure, promote safe sex, if people are going to be doing it, they may as well be safe.. But why promote it at all? Face it, my friends. We live in a sex-driven culture. The question is, what can we do about it? Not much, you think. Even I can't think of too much right now... But why ?What is stopping us from shining Chirst's light to the world? because we are only a small voice in a crowd? because we are young?
in 1 Timothy 4:12 , the bible says "Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.”
See? PURITY! Something our society don't seem to know anything about.
This is our chance, right here. We are teenagers, a minority, but still we can live so that Christ lives through us. Let your friends and family see the light of Christ in you, through your actions, through your words.. Here we go, dont let society make you think that you have to be a certian way, dont let the culture in which we live define your charachter. Let Christ do it, I say, and we will all live happily ever after, the end..
In saying that, I think Im going to end here, just because it's 12:30 Am, and Im extremely tired, and this is an extremely long blog... So... I love you all tons, hope you're not falling asleep at the keyboard reading this.... Have a great day.
Love Forever: Shle
Xoxo

P.S. The lyrics of the day are quite random,
no I'm not feeling this way, the song is just stuck in my head...

"I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone"
