Wow guys, it's the second of july, i can't hardly believe it. Im all done. Im all finished, all the stuff at seycove, no more commitments. I've picked up my report card, i've graduated, we did the whole dinner dance, it was amazing. I have to say that it seems as though it never happened at all. On the 29th, I went to the school to pick up my report card, i didnt fail anything, i got a few signatures in my yearbook, then i headed down to the cove to get my hair done. It turned out really nice. I had these jewels in it, and silver glittery stuff. it looked gorgeous, if i do say so myself. I was quite impressed. Then i went home around 1, and decided that i would get dressed and do my make up. that took all of ... 10 minutes.. lol. I expected it to take me longer. Oh well. by two oclock, i was ready and sooo bloody nervous. You Sam came, and all was right with the world, life was beautiful, we had the most incredible time. We went down to the park, met up with everyone, who looked incredible.. I was so impressed. I was so nervous, tho, and you can tell just by looking at all my pix, cause in almost every one, i have my hand resting on my stomach, which, i have discovered, is my nervous habit. It made me look like i was pregnant or something.. well, not fat, but like i had something to hide, or something. I DONT KNOW, but I was nervous, so in alot of pix, i had my hand on my stomach. Anyways, we had the boat cruise, which was really nice, the weather was perfect, not too hot, not too cold. anyways, so we got downtown, and had some busses to take us to the four seasons hotel, where we had a 'reception'.. it was fun, the punch was so classy, it was served in these fancy glasses, made me feel like I was at a wedding or something fancy like that. Anyways, we had dinner, they served us this salad, rather, cheese, tomatoes and some lettuce on a plate. Aparantely it was "buffalo cheese" according to mr. Lindsey, so upperclass. lol. He even knew the type of dressing they put on it just by looking at it. I was impressed. Then we had our chicken (or in some cases, steaks) and it was served with carrots, asparagus and scalloped potatoes. It was indeed incredible, I loved it. then there was some coffee flavored ice cream, a hollowed out strawberry, and this really chocolatey thing.. eww chocolate! (dont hurt me!)
Sooo yeah then we danced.. the rest of the night. I had to take my shoes off halfway thru, we just didnt stop dancing.. actually, that's not true, Sam had to take a break halfway thru, so I danced around with Diago and Tricia.. it was alot of fun... Then by the end of the night, sam and I were the only ones on the dancefloor, and the DJ (who was hot by the way) played the last song, and we danced to the very end. It was alot of fun, i was thanful for sam, it meant alot for me to have him there with me. anyways, we got tons of pix, alot of them are really nice, i enjoyed my evening, and you can tell by looking at my pictures.
Oh I have to mention this.. Whitney was absoloutely gorgeous...
Tricias dress was really nice too.. Anyways.. now im here, heading to Jamaica in about two days.. it's gonna be good. Anyways, Im gonna have to end this here, Alexis and bobby are here with their mom and dad and grandma, and things are really noisy, im listening to disney music and alexis is here, sitting on my lap, singing along, and drawing a pic of the little mermaid.. it's kinda cute.. sooooo yeah.. Grad was incredible. I'll write another blog before i leave.
Love you all tons! ! !
Love always: Shle

Well .. Since the last day of school two weeks ago, I haven't been up to much, aside from work and getting ready for my trip.. which is going to be happening in eight days.
We had our grad cerimony, and that was fun, nerve wracking, but alot of fun nonetheless.. (is that a word?) Anyways. Then i had this grad party where like.. tons of people came by, and it made my weekend. It was really nice. Anyways... My brother came home for the weekend, which was also equally nice, cause I missed him.. Ummm, these past two weeks, I've been working alot, and therefore, i've been really tired, and when I've not been working or sleeping, I've been getting ready for my trip, which is really a pathetic excuse for my lack of blogging. im sincerely apologetic for that .. so here i am, back and blogging. Tomorrow is my first, and last final exam of grade 12.. of my seycove career.. Wow, psychadellic... and.. wednsday night is the graduation dinner dance, the one where we all get to wear pretty dresses and fix our hair and all that Jazz. ..... so that should be alot of fun... Anyways.. I have an exam tomorrow.. so i need to go study for that. I will write a longer blog when im inspired, im just not doing too good today in this department.. So love to you all

Graduation 2005
Hey .. This is me bieng bored. I wrote a speech for dynamics class, I thought it was nice, so here it is... It's kinda like a goodbye speech...
Love Shle

So you are sitting in the library, getting your final instructions... “This is it,” you’re thinking, as you look around you, taking in the same scenes you’ve taken in for the past five years.
Your instructions are clear. As they call your name and read out your grad-write up, you walk across the stage, shake hands with Mr. Burns and Mr. Kee. Then you go back and sit down… But then what? Doesn’t it seem like your whole life has had an instruction manual to it? You start school, and for thirteen years, the routine is almost the same each day. Get up, get dressed, and go to school. As the years progressed, perhaps some things changed. Maybe your mom didn’t choose your outfit anymore. Maybe you started driving yourself to school, perhaps you got a job. But your life has been fairly safe. Someone has always been there to let you know what the next step was. So where are they now? We’ve shaken hands with the principals, waved at our parents, and sat back down... What’s next? And who is going to be there to tell you?
We are all on some kind of journey, for the most part, our journeys have been the same, but this is the point in our lives where the roads on which we walk diverge, and wiggle away into the distant landscapes of our lives. For some of us, the path is clear, unobstructed. You know what you are doing in the next few months. You have a plan. Nothing is going to go wrong. But some of us don’t know the meaning of the word clear, let alone plan. For people like that, to borrow a quote from Oasis, “all the roads we walk along are winding, and all the lights that lead us there are blinding.” We do not know where our future is going to take us, our path is not straight, but it has many, many curves, obstacles, and forks in it. For example, “Do I work for the year, or do I go straight to school?” and when that decision is made, “Where do I work, or what school do I go to?” and when we finally do get to school, “What do I take?” “What do I want to do with my life? “ It is question after question, and each decision we make could drastically change our lives.
So it is at this point in our lives where we begin to understand who we really are. We become no longer, our parents children, not our grandma’s little girl, but we become our own person. This is the fork in the road where your life begins. And there are no road signs. No maps. Only the stars. And as this, what some call the most wonderful years of your life, come to an end, I encourage you to reach for the stars, for they hold within them your future. No one here can tell you what your life will be like in ten years, only you. Only you know what will truly make you a success. No one can give you instructions on how to get there. To some, success may be money, it may be fame. To me, it’s happiness. I don’t know when I’ll reach that, but I imagine that we will all reach the stars, in our own time. Some in the next few months. Some in a few years. You never know, and no one but yourself can tell you when you have reached them. That doesn’t help you much, does it? But there are things in this life that we have all experienced which will help us reach those stars, which will help us choose the right path. Those things began as the tiniest smile, years ago. Those things began as you, a trembling grade eight kid, took your first glance into the halls of Seycove. It is within these halls that we have learned much of what we know, and I am not referring to the dates of the civil war, not the components of an atom. I’m talking about life. It’s here where we grew up. It’s here where we made our good friends our best ones. We’ve cried here, we’ve laughed here, we’ve learned many a lesson that shaped who we are to this very day. These are the moments we’ll remember all our lives. I couldn’t have asked for more in a high school. I couldn’t have asked for more in a grad class, for we have come together brilliantly, and we form an amazing group. I am thankful for the things I’ve learned with all of you. I look back at grade eight and so many things have changed within our class since then. We are the class of 2005, and we are in this together.
So back to today. I encourage you to look around the room right now. Many of the people you see today, you will not see, perhaps ever again. Scary isn’t it? So I encourage you to have another look around. Implant this day, this year somewhere deep in your mind. A few years from now, when you are standing at yet another fork in the road, you can look back and remember the faces of those who were with you when you faced your first truly difficult decisions. Remember the days where we sat in our dynamics classes, sharing bits of our lives with everyone here. Remember the times when we’d wince at the thought of cafeteria food. Remember Seycove. And as you walk down your separate roads, remember, above all, the friendships that began here in the hallowed halls of the best years of your life, for they will take you where you want to be.
Good Luck, class of 2005, and congratulations. We made it.
Love Shle

And the thunder Rolls
Good evening everyone!
For the past few days, it's just been me and dad at home. Mom's been in Ladner chillen with Grandma.. Wednsday was the last nsa youth of my.. youth! It's crazy, I still remember my first NSA youth six years ago, when i was just a scraggly little kid in grade seven. I was wearing these shorts and this overly-huge shirt with a pic of Archie Andrews on it.. I wonder whatever happened to that shirt. Anyways.. Wednsday was alot of fun, first off, because my Dad decided that he was going to come with me, and I really enjoyed that. It was great.. Random, but great.
Ok then Thursday, I was working from 5-9, which was awesome.... After work, I went over to Tricias house to chill, and this incredible storm decided to start. Lightning, and immense thunder, we could even hear it over the crazy-loud music that's always blastin over at Tina's house. Anyways.. Then, around 10, I ran home in the rain, and even tho I only live two doors away from Tricia's house, I was soaked by the time I got home. .... Then, just as I entered the front door of my house, the thunder rolled again.. all in all, it was an incredible storm.. WE haven't had one like it in so long, infact, the last time I remember hearing a storm like that was in Jamaica. They have storms like that every single day in JA, then, five minutes after it starts, it gets sunny again.. It's kinda wierd, but I can't complain. Anyways, so today, I came home from school, (I skipped info tech, I didn't feel like dealing with the computer today) and then I cleaned some of the house. I vaccumed, fixed the shoes, and all that jazz! Then Dad came home, and him and I went shopping for some event that's happening tomorrow. He rented a movie, too, for himself, 'cause I worked tonight. Poor, Poor Daddy, home all alone ... Anyways.. So now I'm home, and at the moment, I am baking a cake.. Well, actually, the oven is baking the cake for me, I mixed the batter and all that, but the oven is doing the actual baking... Why, do you ask, am I baking a cake??? Well, it's cause tomorrow is my mom's birthday! Dad and I are going to head out to Ladner sometime around lunch tomorrow to chill with mom, take her out for dinner. You know, the usual.. SHould be fun tho.. I miss my mom, she hasn't been home since sunday.. It's no fun.. And plus, I actually have to do chores when mom's not here.. Its kinda silly. See, i'm moving out in the end of summer, and Im deff gonna have to do my own chores.. all the time! I guess I'd better get used to it. Acutally, Im really excited about this whole thing. I think I'd be alot more frightened if Mike wasn't gonna be there, but he is, my big brother will be there to watch out for me, which is dope, cause I don't think i'm quite ready to be that independant yet.
Ok, you know what's really annoying, my whole body just started getting all itchy, and it's starting to hurt.. I dont think scratching it helped much, but IT HURTS! ! ! ! ! Bloody monkey, that's random.. anyways, I think my cake might be near ready now, and even if it's not, I have to wash the dishes, cause I made a mess making the cake.. Im responsable now... lol
So with these words I leave you : May the force be with you
Love Forever:
Shle

Cake in my hair...
Dear friends and family alike.
First of all, let me apologise for my lack of blogging, i'm just stupid and pre-occupied and .. stupid. anyways. A few things have happened since I last updated, I went to this concert, with this band.. i think their name was U2 - and yes, it was the most amazing concert of my life so far... Im sorry, mike, but it even beat Weezer. Only a little bit. So yeah, it was an amazing experience.
Then, ummmm, the bead game started. That was good fun, I managed to be paranoid for about three days untill I got myself captured. But I must indeed congratulate Steph, because her idea was genius.. She and her other friends blocked my car with theirs, and left me no choice but to surrender. We were in the parkgate parking lot. I got home after surrendering, and thought.. Shiz, I should have just spent the night in my car.. It would have been so funny to see her wait there the whole time. But I was not allowed. Oh well. So that was that. Ummm what else.?
I recently watched two movies which both made me cry. The first one was reccomended to me by Treston, it was called "Cold Mountian" and it was just bloody amazing. This couple just stayed faithful to each other for so long, and .. well to be honest, the ending really really sucked, but it was still an awesome movie. It really made me think.. you know?
The other movie that I watched (with mom yesterday) was "The Notebook" and it was damn good. I definately cried during that movie. Then, yesterday, I spent a long while on the phone with a friend of mine, and he told me that he thought that movie was bad, cause the main charachters relationship was based soley on sex.. But now that I think about it, JZ, you are not right! If their whole relationship was only about sex, then what makes you think that man would have been there with his wife like that at the end of the movie? Or that he would have waited seven years for her, without ever having slept with her, still in love.. seven years they were apart, and still in mad love. And they had never been together. That is not sex, my friend, that is love.....
It's times like this when I wonder if that kind of love really exists today.?
Is there someone out there for me who would wait seven years to be with me? Could someone ever love me that much? Could I ever love someone that much?
*Sigh* I dunno.. Life's one big confusing puddle.
Today is mothers day, and I bought mom some copper sauce pans, (from both of us, mikey. I even signed your name on the card)
Then I went to work, which sucked, but then we headed down to Ladner, where the fun began. My little cousin Nicole was playing softball, and when she went up to bat, she got herself a home run, it was incredible, I was quite proud of her. It was the end of a weekend tournament, which her team did well in.
Then we went to grandmas, We had an awesome dinner, mine composed mostly of brocoli with cheese sauce (it was good), Stuffed potato (it was amazing) and steak (it was good). Then it was time for dessert, and Dylan, bieng the little crazy kid that he is, decided he was just going to pick up his cake with his hands, and eat it that way. So after him getting in trouble, i decided to show him the real way to eat cake, and demonstrated picking it up with my hand and making a bit of a mess. Then, something happened, and I challenged my mom, and said "bring it on" and so she got up, and smushed my cake all over my face.
I thought that would have been the end, but no, Nicole decided she would be smart and smear her cake all over my face too, and then I got icing all over her, and it was just one big cake fest. It was in my eyes, in my hair, all over my switchfoot shirt.. And it was just gooooood fun... Same with Nicole, I had gotten it all over her. It was amazingly fun, the most fun I've had in Ladner for a long time. Then Andrew got it all over himself too, and coleton was the only kid in the room who ate his cake with a fork. It was a great time in general. I think amidst all that chaos they got a few good pictures of us. I can't wait to see that.
Soooo it's ten thirty, and I would not normally be tired at this point in time, but I am right now. Soo tired, as I have been for most of the day anyways. I woke up with a bit of a headache this morning, lol.
Sooooo Im gonna peace, and go to bed.
Love To you all!
love Forever: Shle

"Did you rise the sun for me,
Or paint a million stars?
That I might know your majesty?
Is your breath upon the wind?
Is everything I see
Marked with my makers fingertips?
can I feel you in the rain?
Abandon all I am?
To have you capture me again?"

Is there someone out there for me who would wait seven years to be with me? Could someone ever love me that much? Could I ever love someone that much?
*Sigh* I dunno.. Life's one big confusing puddle.
Today is mothers day, and I bought mom some copper sauce pans, (from both of us, mikey. I even signed your name on the card)
Then I went to work, which sucked, but then we headed down to Ladner, where the fun began. My little cousin Nicole was playing softball, and when she went up to bat, she got herself a home run, it was incredible, I was quite proud of her. It was the end of a weekend tournament, which her team did well in.
Then we went to grandmas, We had an awesome dinner, mine composed mostly of brocoli with cheese sauce (it was good), Stuffed potato (it was amazing) and steak (it was good). Then it was time for dessert, and Dylan, bieng the little crazy kid that he is, decided he was just going to pick up his cake with his hands, and eat it that way. So after him getting in trouble, i decided to show him the real way to eat cake, and demonstrated picking it up with my hand and making a bit of a mess. Then, something happened, and I challenged my mom, and said "bring it on" and so she got up, and smushed my cake all over my face.
I thought that would have been the end, but no, Nicole decided she would be smart and smear her cake all over my face too, and then I got icing all over her, and it was just one big cake fest. It was in my eyes, in my hair, all over my switchfoot shirt.. And it was just gooooood fun... Same with Nicole, I had gotten it all over her. It was amazingly fun, the most fun I've had in Ladner for a long time. Then Andrew got it all over himself too, and coleton was the only kid in the room who ate his cake with a fork. It was a great time in general. I think amidst all that chaos they got a few good pictures of us. I can't wait to see that.
Soooo it's ten thirty, and I would not normally be tired at this point in time, but I am right now. Soo tired, as I have been for most of the day anyways. I woke up with a bit of a headache this morning, lol.
Sooooo Im gonna peace, and go to bed.
Love To you all!
love Forever: Shle

"Did you rise the sun for me,
Or paint a million stars?
That I might know your majesty?
Is your breath upon the wind?
Is everything I see
Marked with my makers fingertips?
can I feel you in the rain?
Abandon all I am?
To have you capture me again?"

Dear Friends and Family,
Hey hey, what's up? today is such a beautiful day. Unfortunately, I spent most of it inside, I was indeed working ... again! Suprise, suprise! I seem to do that alot lately. Four, five days a week. This last thursday and friday, I worked during my lunch hours.. It was crazy.... So I got an extra five hours of work this week, should be good moola pour moi.... I hope anyways. Also, my boss said that, because I got him some extra business from my school, that he would give me a bonus. SOOOO yeah. Things seem to be going well at subway .... Anyways, it's dinner time, I have to go eat roast beef and vegitables (yik) and so, I'll be back. Hasta La Vista...
.... ok so I'm back. But it's like... tomorrow... right now, so I managed to eat dinner, then promptly forget that I had my blog open. oopsie. Dinner was fairly good, even I have to admit that... Then I just chilled out with my friend for awhile, played some cards, kicked her ass, and that was fun.. So yeah. Today is Monday, it's a gorgeous day out there. It makes me excited that we're getting all this gorgeous weather, i love it. Summer is soooo close now, I can't wait ! I feel guilty, 'cause I've stopped counting down the days till Jamaica, and every time people ask me, I just make up a number. But I just went and looked at my calendar, and it says there is sixty-nine days left. I hope I get my dress soon, for grad.. They havent called yet, and they were supposed to call in the beginning of the month. Oh well. I'll get it soon.... That's gonna be exciting.
Anyways, Now School is over, and im back again, hopefully to finish this blog...
but i cant really do that, caus i have so much homework to do it's unbeliavable, so im gonna split, and attempt this again when i have more time
Love as always

Wash it all away
Ok, so whats up? these last two days have been actually beautiful. The sun has been out, and we've had gorgeous hot weather. So that makes me happy.
I was just sitting in youth group today, and they were playing these slides, and this song was playing in the background, actually, it was playing quite loudly... but anyways, it was "I can only imagine" by Mercy Me. .. For those of you who know whats going on with my life recently, you know that it's not the easiest of times that I, and my family, have to go through in the next little while.. Anyways, so i was sitting in the church sanctuary, and this song was playing...
"Surrounded by Your glory,
what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for You Jesus
or in awe of You be still?
Will I stand in Your presence ?
or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing hallelujah?
will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine.. I can only imagine."
It was all about heaven, and what kind of things God has prepared for us there. It's not easy to think about that right now.... and i just broke down. I dont think I can remember a time when I've ever cried so hard.. not in a long time anyways. AND i dont really know why I've told you that, but I need you guys to know whats up.. This is honestly the most unexpected turn of events. And to think that before Christmas, I was worried about breaking up with my boyfriend, and that was my biggest concern. If only that was my biggest concern right now.. All I can do right now, is ask for your prayer, not just for me, infact, not for me at all, but for my family...
So what does God have prepared for us ? As the song says, I can only imagine.
We all have this vision of streets paved with gold, and fluffy white clouds, perhaps fields full of amazing flowers, and the peace only God can bring.
.............
and i'm sorry, but i cant seem to go anywhere else with this right now.
Love and Peace

So let the sun shine in, face it with a grin
Dearest Friends and Family members,
How are you? I am doing fairly well, thank you. Today was a beautiful day, the sun was out and I rolled up my jeans and wore sandals. It was indeed nice.
Did you ever notice that in the last term of grade 12, teachers pile the work on so thick that you can't even imagine getting out of high school, let alone living to tell the tale? That's how i'm feeling right now. It's a conspiracy, I promise you. All the teachers get together around a table, and plan to have all their assignments and projects and tests in the same week. I'm sure that i've expressed this opinion of mine a few times anyways, and you might be sick of hearing it, but chances are, you agree with me. But aside from that, high school is almost finished, and in like... seveny seven days, Im going to Jamaica, and then off to AUC! Wow, it's gonna be an interesting experience.
My older cousin, Chasta, mentioned that she might like to come with me to Jamaica, which would be super dope, she's amazing. But from what she told me, she would be insanely over-protective, and no boys would even look at me without getting a black eye from her, so I dont know how fun that would be, ha ha. I should've taken her with me the first time! Then my life would be a bit simpler, and I would've gotten a good laugh out of sieng her beat up a bunch of jamaican boys.... ha ha... Anyways, so yeah.
Music.. let's talk about that! First of all, it's like.... ten more days until U2! Can you belive it? Wooooo im psyched. And another thing, I was SOOOOO Close to getting to go to the snoop dogg ft. the game concert, but then .. I Decided that I couldnt afford it anyways, even if I have moms permission, which was a once in a lifetime thing... I had moms permission to go to a rap concert, but I realize that I need to go to college, I cant afford that... SOOOO anyways... Weezer is coming out with a new album, I can't wait to get ahold of that one, and they are also coming to Vancouver, but since I'm not nineteen, I cant go, cause they're playing at the commodore, or however you spell that, and it's not an all ages show. It's alright, tho, cause soon enough, I'll be old enough to be able to do things like that.
And Maroon Five is coming to Vancouver, too, but I only know one of their songs, it's "She will be loved", and it's a good song, but Im not gonna go to a concert when I would only know one of the songs.. Unless of course, the tix were free, which they are not, so blah on that idea, eh?
You know what's annoying? Dave Matthews Band is like.. touring around the states, I wish they would come to Vancouver, I'd pay to see that... They're amazing.. anyways, i've got to go do some homework, sorry for the lack of updates, it's just been crazy here.. Hopefully I'll update more often ..
Love you forever
Love Always
Shle

Loving you is like a song I replay
every three minutes and thirty seconds of every day
and every chorus
was written for us
to recite
every beautiful melody
of devotion every night
and every word,
every second and every third
expresses the happiness
more clearly then ever heard

Lie to me, Convince me that I've been sick forever.
And all of this will make sense when I get better.
I know the difference between myself and my relfection
I just can't help but to wonder
Which of us do you love?
Love to you all.
Love forever: Shle

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"
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.

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

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"

Oops, I didn't do it again...
Wow, I feel like such an idiot. I was sitting here, watching the random images flash before my eyes on the computer, (my screensaver) and I was trying to figure out what to do today. Then, from the other room, I heard my mom tell my aunt that I was probably updating my blog.. And then I was like.. HOLY CRAP! I HAVE A BLOG!
So where did I leave off last time? well, As fate would have it, I did indeed manage to finish all of my homework before spring break, and it was a whole lot. I had a geography project, a comp civ project, a law project, an info tech project, and ... im sure there was something else. oh yeah, two tests. all before spring break. SO I got all of it finished, and on thursday night, I went to work. After work, my dear friend Tricia came over and, as I finished packing up, we left for NSA.
We spent an uneventful evening at the church, awaiting the four AM venture to Calgary, Alberta for LYC 2005. I was quite excited about this whole venture for a couple of reasons. One of them, was that I would get to see my brother. The other was that I had a feeling that God was going to do amazing things that weekend, not just to me, but in general.
The bus ride out was long, and uneventful. I slept through most of it, listening to music, and getting up only once to use the bathroom in the back. We watched some movie, but I can't remember which one it was... Anyways, then we got to the U of C, and it was great, cause I was so psyched. So me and Tricia walked over to the registration, and started the journey thru that, when all of the sudden, I heard my name.. Actually, that's not entirely true, I heard someone say "GIDGET!" Now, for those of you who are confused, and wondering why the name Gidget would mean anything to me, It was my camp Name.... Back in the day... waaayyyy back in the day. So ... back to the story.. It turned out to be an old camp buddy, Mel Doyle, and she still calls me Gidget.. Meh.. anyways, so we got registered, then I saw my brother, which made me happier. and pretty much, yeah.. YC was an amazing experience. Jono lead worship, and he was awesome, I could see Christ working in him, and just taking the energy of the whole place, and throwing it back to us through worship. It was good. Umm, what else? Ok, the speaker ... that was good. Every time I would sit and listen to him, I felt like he was talking right to me.. That doesnt happen too often, but I swear to you, each time, It was like he was looking at my life story, and speaking right to it.. right to me. So God does work in mysterious ways indeed. indeeeed...
Ok, so then we drove to Edmonton, I spent a couple of uneventful hours in the mall with Tricia.. Remind me not to go shopping with her again. Matter of fact, just remind me not to go shopping.. I hate shopping. It always makes me broke. ok, so then I met up with my aunt, and she took me out to dinner with my little cousins, and we went to Eastside Marios. It was amazing.. Did anyone ever go there before? I mean. .. have you been there? they make the most amazing pasta and all that jazz. ANYWAYS.. So now Im back.. It's kind of crazy over at my house, my gramma, great aunt, and aunt are here from Ontario and Calgary, and things are kinda hectic. Ok, ALOT hectic. I dont have a bed to sleep on, I've been kicked out of my room, which.. I might add, is a disaster area. I thought old ladies were supposed to be neat and tidy? My room was so nice before they came here, and now it's a friggen disaster area. I hope they clean it up before they leave.. Which is on tuesday..
Anyways, im tired, I've been working all day, every day, it's crazy. One of the subway employees got fired, and so now I work Tuesday, Wednsday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday.. Muchos Denaros, as Tricia would be likened to say... Ok, im gonna go find something productive to do.. Love to you all....

P.S. Whit, I hope you're having fun!

I miss you more each day
There's not a night I haven't cried

Jeepers?
Hey hey, good morning to you all. as it goes, I am sitting in the computer lab in the library at Seycove Secondary school, and, instead of doing my geography homework, I am .. blogging.
Wanna hear something funny? Today in class, mr. Earl was asking when we wanted to do our Geography tests next week, and I spent about five minutes trying to convince him to let me do mine on friday, when I realized.. Oh Crap! I wont be here next friday! Indeed, I am going to be leaving next friday at four in the morning to Calgary, Alberta, for .. you guessed it.. YOUTH CONFERENCE!
That should prove to be really really exciting. At first, I wasn't going to go. I just simply wasn't going to go to youth conference.. I didnt want to. But now that I think of it, im super glad that I did plan to go because.. It's just going to be an amazing experience. Plus, it'll give me a chance to apply for college! IM SO PSYCHED! Honestly, like i've said before, Im going to Jamaica this summer, but I am way more psyched about going to Calgary for school. It was amusing, we had a capp presentation yesterday, about the costs and everything of moving out. The person who was speaking decided to throw in that Living in Calgary was one of the worst experiences that she's ever had. And when I asked her why, she said because it was soooo cold that she was...just really cold. But that doesnt scare me. Infact, Im quite ready for it. I got this nice jacket that will do well for that snowy weather in Calgary. And.. I know, I know, after awhile, I will get insane sick of the snow, but.. having snow at Christmas will be amazing.
Ok, Last night, I was at work, and It was fairly slow, and insane boring. But then, all of the sudden, this dashing young man walked through the door, and at first, I thought to myself, "Who is that dashing young man?" and then I realized that it was indeed.. Sam with a haircut.... Ha ha.. So then, he must've felt obligated or something, because he ordered a sub, then procedded to tell me that he had just finished eating two other kind of subs downtown, and he was really full, and then I said.. Well you dont have to get one, you know.. Hahahahah. Then, he and I sat down and had a really good talk for about 45 minutes.We talked about Grad, about relationships, about ... just everything in general. He even told me what he was going to wear to grad! I was kind of excited about this conversation, because I hadn't seen him in a long while, because he now works downtown, and ... aparantely makes the worlds best coffee. (No, he doesnt work at starbucks.... )All the while, I was kind of forgetting that I was indeed at work, which left me with a whole lot of cleaning to do after they left.
So after that, a friend of his came by, and they both started playing guitar, and yes.. I turned off the Beat 94.5 no matter how much it killed me. and then.. they left. and I closed the store, and went home... That was one of the most slack nights I've ever had at work, lol. It was good fun.
I was looking at my brothers blog, and it was good fun, because I recognized almost all of the songs that he made refrence to in the updates, and.. Yeah .. Now I've got that song "Turpentine Chase" stuck in my head.. I remember this one time, I was driving back from Calgary with mike, and we listened to a bunch of dashboard confessional, and I mentioned to him that Dashboard confessional makes refrence to Turpentine in two of thier songs, and he was really impressed. Then there would be times when we would both be singing our hearts out, and he would mess up on a line, and then I would make fun of him, then I would mess up on a line, and he would make fun of me... And then we would both just harmonize perfectly, and we would both be impressed.
So yesterday, I was sitting in my info tech class, listening to the tunes that were coming out of my Mp3 player, and then.. I just got sick of it! I've done it, mike, I've made myself sick of Rap and Reggae for now. so yesterday, I took my headphones off, and then rocked out for the rest of the day. I even listened to Metallica for two songs. And Dashboard, Blink 182, Weezer, U2.. Ahh it was AMAZING! I think I'm going to rock out for a few more days before I get back into the rap and reggae scene. Well I never thought It would happen. But I was just sitting there, and I was like.. OK, THIS MUSIC IS GETTING REALLY ANNOYING NOW! and so I stopped listening to it.. I'll admit, I listened to Ja Rule this morning, but... yeah... Mabye a bit more rock, and a bit less rap... No, Mike, my brain has NOT rotted! See? It's healing itself from the scars of that music i subjected myself to..
OK, the bell just went, so IM going to post. Have a great day!
Love you all.

Uh Oh!
Ok, first of all, I deserve to be slapped! I haven't updated since my 18th birthday, and .. to be honest, I dont feel any older, for those of you who are wondering. Ha ha. Sorry about that, by the way. I have just been extremely busy, with all my school and working at subway. It's slightly insane, and all sort of starting to pile up.. I was hoping that the second semister of grade 12 would go smoother than the first, but, alas, I was incorrect. The homework just keeps piling up and getting harder, teachers are dumping project after project on us.. It's just nuts.. But aside from that, i dont feel like complaining about school. Generally, Im enjoying it. It's good fun, and, despite popular belief, I am learning things, though I did drop Acting.. (GASP!) To be honest, Mrs. Cook was devastated, because I told her about it just after we did our first performance.. and she said I was brilliant, and wasting my talent.. and every chance she got, she pestered my mom to pressure me into not dropping. It almost worked, too, my mom was like "Well you can't go to Jamaica if you drop acting" and I was like.. are you saying that just so Mrs Cook will leave you alone?
and then she said yes, and that issue was resolved.. HA HA
anyways.... You know, I havent got too much to say right now.
This is just one stressful week. I have three proj's due next week. I think I'll go work on them.. Ha ha.. Have a good night. I promise, the next one will be longer.
Love Always: Shle
xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
The lyrics of the day are dedicated to my brother mike, for no particular reason other than the fact that he is listening to this song at the moment... Yeah I know it's random, but what Is life if there is no randomness?
We are scanning the scene
In the city tonight
We are looking for you
To start up a fight
There is an evil feeling
In our brains
But it is nothing new
You know it drives us insane

and then she said yes, and that issue was resolved.. HA HA

March Forth,
Today was interesting. I woke up fairly early and dressed for the day. I had a field trip to the Provincial Courts. It was tres interessant. Me, Nicole and Sam were stuck in Mrs. Barters car, 'cause we weren't cool enough to be in anyone elses car. So the courts themselves were interesting, there was only really two cases that I found worth listening to, one was these two people who were driving at over twice the speed limit, and they got off with a lecture from the judge, and a five-hundred dollar fine. She didnt even take their liscences away for a day! What a nut!
Anyways, this second case that I found worthwhile, was this assault case, the only case we saw this morning with a witness. Anyways, what she was saying seemed credible, but then the defence attourney asked her how she knew the people she was suing, and she said.. "I cant remember"
and then the lawyer asked if it was true that they all smoked crack cocaine together, and I thought, "Oops, there goes the credibility of that wittness."
Hey did you know that today is the only day on the calander that is both a date and a command? Wrap your mind around that one!
Ha ha, it was indeed amusing. Anyways, today is my eighteenth birthday, and you'll NEVER guess what my parents got me !
Go on! Guess!
Remember that whole U2 fiasco? how I couldn't get tickets? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH WELL GUESS WHO IS GOING TO U2~! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Thats definately me.. me and my dad.
ANYWAYS! That's my blog for the day, because I have to go to work.. Which really sucks, but eh? I'll Live.
Happy Birthday to me.
Love you all!

Good morning, good morning!
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,

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.

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:

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 "
