Makeupless

"Never trust a magician. We use words only to divert your attention. Look at my pretty scarf, we say, so you do not see our sleight of hand when the rabbit disappears."

Wow. I am makeupless. Today is my first day spending a whole day at school without makeup. Since grade 7. Profound, isn't it?? I think so.

Tomorrow is me and Justin's day together. He's coming to get me at 9. At 9!!! So happy.

I have a headache. I'm pretty sure it's this crappy headband thats digging into my skull behind my ears. You know the pressure point behind your ears that if you push into it, you'll like, die?? Yeah. My headband is trying to murder me. Great.

Tonight is Bring a Friend night at brownies. Hoping to get it over and done with.

Hungry. I actually brought a sandwich for lunch today. I ate half of it during first.

I put together a christmas tree for Lloyd. You know those cool ones with the lights built in?? Yeah, he got one for the music room and so I got to put it together. And then I'm going to decorate it maybe tomorrow or Wednesday.

Gummy Gummy Gum.

"Thank you so much for your time," added Dr. L in his recognizably unrecognizable accent."

Kyle gave me gum. It is yummy. But getting a bit oldish.

Going to Humber tomorrow.

Made a blood appointment on the 16th. YAY!!!

Did a little on my shirt. Not so thrilled with it like Vitti is.

Worked for like, an hour and a half on my cubist. Working on it next period too. Kill me. LOVE the scissors though. SO good.

Wanted to buy an alarm clock tonight but apparently I'm not allowed. Weird parents.

Want my second tattoo. I wantitwantitwantit!!!

But I digress.

So sweetly she bade me adieu,
I thought that she bade me return.

Alright . . . .

So I apologize. Apparently I've gotten a bit behind. Sorry :)

"Grownups can be useful at times - money and car rides come to mind. But they also have a habit of getting in the way when you want to do something they don't approve of."

Justin and I had a fun day yesterday. He picked me up from school after second and we went to his house and just hung out. I brought Chef Boy-ar-dee and it was yummy and wonderful. Then we had a nap and watched tv and it was awesome.

I had to be home at 3 to plan Brownies with Alex and he had to be home to pick up his sister from the bus so that kind of sucked but he came over when his mum got home from work. We did my applications fro University and College. Mum was quite annoying but she paid so yay. My grades didn't show up on the college site so I was kindof freaking out about that But I talked to the Guidance people today and they said that's just because they only sent the grades to the colleges like, sunday. So that's ok. At least until Fridy. Then I'm allowed to freak.

Speaking of freaking, I only have, like, NO TIME LEFT for my tshirt. Super freaking about that. And my stupid cubist thing too. Damn Vitti and her confusing and difficult ideas.

Justin's dad is away on a retreat for the rest of the week and his mom is totally ok with us seeing eachother everyday this week. Which is TOTALLY inconvenient because of what week of the month it is, if you get my meaning. Man, why?? But we're planning to have a full day sometime soon. Like, a FULL DAY. So that should be good.

On a bright note, I seem to have beaten some sense into this stupid keyboard. It's hardly acting up at all.

Dress down day for this month was changed to Monday. What the hell is with that??

Sent in the badgework to the company. Hopefully they get back to me soon about that.

Brownies are going to the Science Center!!! We've convinced enough people that it's a good idea so it's happening. We just need province to ok it but that shouldn't be a big deal, it will just take a while. That reminds me, I have to make a newsletter about that for parents.

I have to pee.

So sweetly she bade me adieu,

Sparish

"At first, Cass thought her mother was going to tell her something terrible, like that she was getting married or dying of some rare fungus."

So Dovigs is apparently away today. So,


Spare first.

Spare second.

Spare third.

Art.


Justin is coming to pick me up though, so that's ok.

Totally forgot I'm babysitting tonight. Bum.

Eating Cheerios from my bag. Yum.

Made the Jailbreak badge for me and Alex. Just waiting for her to confirm it. Taken me way too long to get this done. Hope the people don't forget about me.

So sweetly she bade me adieu,

Humbering

"CHAPTER 8: The title of this chapter is so ALARMING I've decided not to include it"

Tired. I seem to be super tired lately. Maybe I'll get some sleep tomorrow night. Justin is at Trevors' for another poker night so perhaps I'll be able to sleep. Actually, scratch that. I'll just be worried about him and I won't be able to sleep at all. The last time he went he got sick from a combination of eating too much and drinking too much and other stuff like that.

Gonna go look at the Humber website to see if I need a portfolio for them. Probably not, but I need two letters of recommendation, I know that. I'll ask Bertucci and . . . . hmmm. Gotta figure out the other person. Maybe Jacquie. Or Dovigs. If I see Bertucci I'll ask him today. But I don't think I will see him. Meh.

Gotta take a picture of a road for my title page. I'd rather have a picture that has leaves on the trees but unfortunately it's way too late for that. Pity.

So sweetly she bade me adieu,
I thought that she bade me return.

Home. Alone. Grrrr.

"Cass waited as Max-Ernest shut himself into the bathroom. She tried not to listen, but every sound in the magician's house was magnified. Besides, boys always peed loudly. Finally, she heard the toilet flush. Then she heard two screams."

Arg. Justin is home alone today and I have to be at school. Grrrr.

Stiffened my tshirt for Graphic Design yesterday. IhopeIhopeIhope it's dry enough for me to work on it.

Lloyd has cookies for at band. Yay cookies!!!

Oh I forgot to tell you; on Monday I got a phone call from Future Shop. Apparently the company wasn't doing as well as they thought they would so all seasonal staff got the boot. Shitty eh?? Now I have to find another job. Yay.

Crap I have to phone brownie parents . . . .

"As I'm sure you know from experience, lying is an important skill to have."

Soooo tired. I'm pretty sure I fell asleep walking to the bus this morning.

Hopefully Justin will come over as soon as I get home. Or else he might get to my house and I'll be asleep.

So sweetly she bade me adieu,
I thought that she bade me return.

Bum.

"Hi, you're Cassandra. I'm Max-Ernest. We don't know each other. But I know who you are and you probably know who I am. Well, you definitely do now. But I mean you probably knew before because everybody here knows who everybody is. Even if they've never met. Isn't that weird how you can know somebody and not know somebody at the same time? How 'bout that?"

Ok, so my blogging plan failed for this weekend. But I'm back on track. Just don't count on there being blogs on the weekend :)

So Justin came on Friday to pick up his stuff and to save me from Hell. Or do I mean Hall?? Anyways, we went for food and then to my house. However, my dad was there. Which sucked ass. So we went to Canadian Tire to pick up some stuff for Justin's dad and then hung around there for ages.

The Howler came out today. I'm actually really pissed off about it. I know Kyle's been working his butt off but seriously this makes me mad. He cut out full paragraphs of my article in order to make it fit. He originally told me I was getting as many words as I needed and then cut out about 250 words to fit me in a small cube area. And he took out my picture too. He has so many articles and so much information in them but he's trying to fit them all on 6 pages. And the end result is really crappy. And he doesn't understand why I'm so mad.

Football thing for Dovigo is finally done. But now I'm probably going to be in charge of putting all the pictures in and editing them and stuff. Whatever, at least I'll have something to do.

Fixed up the text for the Title Page. Monica gave me like, half a page of crap. But I fixed it up to about 5 sentances, which is what I wanted in the first place.

Justin took the cap off his truck so now it looks a lot better. So much cuter. I'm allowed to call it cute now because he did yesterday :)

Yesterday was our 1 year and 1 month. Totally gapped about it. Pity.

Justin told me we'll go to see a movie sometime soon. I hope we do. I want to get a picture by the Couples Retreat sign before it stops being shown. At least, I hope it's still being shown . . . .

So sweetly she bade me adieu,

Lier

"As the lump of shriveled pink flesh that would become Max-Ernest lay in the hospital incubator. like a small chicken (or a rabbit?) roasting in a glass oven, his parents argued about what to call him."

So, apparently, I've lied. I WAS able to blog today. But that's only because my dad got the time we were supposed to be there wrong. He tells me this after I've run around to get everything done. "Oh yeah, you've got another hour and a half until we leave." Grrrrr. But meh.

Got to change my chiropractor appointment for sometime else. Can't be today. can't be tomorrow. Don't know if I want to wake up early enough for it to be on Saturday . . . . I'll get mum to do it.

Justin came over last night and we played the new Raving Rabbids game for the Wii. OMG too funny. I'm not even going to spoil it by describing it. Too funny.

Mum wants me to clean up. Bleaugh. I don't want to.

Hopefully I'll see Justin on Saturday when he gets home from Humber. He's going for the openy house thing.

I want sleep. I've been so sleep deprived these past few weeks . . . .

Lest we Forget

"I'm sorry I couldn't let you read Chapter One. That was where you would have learned the names of the characters in this story. You also would have learned where it takes place. And when. You would have learned all the things you usually learn at the beginning of a book. Unfortunately, I can't tell you any of those things. Yes, this is a story about a secret. But it's also a secret story. I shouldn't even be telling you that I shouldn't be telling you the story. That's how much of a secret it is."

So, it's Remembrance Day. News Flash. Meh. Ceremony thing at school went ok. At least the day is half over already. No pretty in Pink incident this year though. Pity.

Justin got his truck yesterday!!! We went for a drive last night. It was pretty cool and I am now learning how to drive Standard. OMG so confusing. All I really got from our lesson last night was that if you gear up the RPMs go down and if you gear down they go up. And also that you want to stay between 1 and a half and 2 and a half when you're driving, and that it's good to start at around 2. Whew.

Going to Ryerson tomorrow so there probably won't be a blog until late late at night. Mostly because i get home from Ryerson at about 4:30 and then I have a half an hour to be at work. I have no idea what I'm doing there or what I even have to do as soon as I walk in the door. I'll probably go to Customer Service and ask and then I'll look like an idiot. YAY!!!

Hmmm. I've just remembered something that I don't think I've mentioned yet. Mum hit Justin's car sometime last week. Not anything serious, just a dent and a plasticy bit fell off. But it was a good sized dent and now she has to pay this guy $300 because technically Justin didn't own the car anymore when she hit it. This guy did. So yeah.

So sweetly she bade me adieu,

Day 2 of the Q.O.T.D. (So far, so good)

"It's funny the way secrets work. If you don't know about a secret, it doesn't bother you. You go about your business without a care in the world. La La La, you sing. Everything's fine and dandy. (Maybe you don't actually sing "la la la", but you know what I mean.)"

So I've been doing this stupid football thing for Dovigo and he and a few other people just totally smashed it. Poo. And I spent two days editing it. Grrrr.

On the bright side, Justin is for sure getting his truck today. Actually, he probably has it now. But I get to see it when he comes over tonight.

Did I mention I went to Queens last Saturday?? Perhaps. Well, in case I didn't, HEY!!! Guess what?? I went to Queens last Saturday!! Yay :D

Tired. Tired. Tired. I dunno why I can't seem to get any sleep lately.

Got a new game for the Wii and we got the new Wii Fit Plus. I haven't played it yet but Ceridwen and Eirlys have and they say it's pretty cool.

Bored. I might call Justin during my lunch but he might be working on the siding of his house. I hope not because I'm quite bored. And my lunch is going to be just as boring as it always is. Maybe Lloyd will have logged into his computer so I can check my Facebook.

A.M.A.Q.O.T.D

Almost a month!! This is terrible!! I really need to get on top of this blogging thing.

Good news though, I have come with a fantastical idea. (Hey, the spell checker says that fantastical is spelt right. Is it actually a word?? I'll check . . . . OMG IT IS!!!! Cool.) This fantastical idea will help me (hopefully) get back on track here. However, it involves a bit of explanation. For those of you who don't know, I am a Quote Whore. Every time I read a book I mark off little phrases or groupings of words that I like. And I do mean EVERY TIME I read a book. If there's a good book in my hands you will see tons of tiny bits of paper in between the pages. I then copy all the quotes down into little books. I started this in the summer of grade 10 and I now have three of these little books. So, I formally announce AMBROSIA'S MOST AMAZING QUOTE OF THE DAY!!! Or A.M.A.Q.O.T.D for short. I tried to make something witty, but it didn't work out. :)

The quotes will be at the top of the blog and then my thingie will continue underneath. Today, however, it will be a bit different. I will also link the title of the book when it begins so if you choose to find out more about it you can do so.

The first book is "The name of this book is secret" by Pseudonymous Bosch. Yes, that's actually the title and yes, that's the author.

"Generally speaking, books don't cause much harm. Except when you read them, that is. Then they cause all kinds of problems."

Justin should be getting his truck tomorrow. Possibly tonight, but most likely tomorrow. YAY!!!! His truck is really cool. And it's actually quite cute. For me, anyways. The actual truck bed is longer than most trucks, so it gives the truck an extended view, but it's so cool because of that.

Last Saturday I sprained a muscle in my neck and so I've been going to the chiropractor for that. And because of my neck, I've discovered a fantastical new chiropractor. I woke up not being able to move my head Halloween morning and, it being a Saturday, no one was open. We looked in phone book after phone book and finally found this place. "Adjust your life Chiropractor" Hilarious right?? :) They had extended hours and therefore open on Saturdays which was totally awesome. She's cool and everybody there is so nice. There's one chiropractor and then her mother works as the secretary and then another girl comes in twice a week to take over being secretary. There's another lady that is superly skilled in like, massaging and prenatal stuff and I don't even know what but she comes in twice a week too.

Tonight is enrollment at Brownies. A bit nervous but I hope it goes off without a hitch. Some of these Brownie parents are really un-considerate?? Is that a word?? Hmmm. Also, Alex and myself are being enrolled as Brownie leaders too tonight so . . . . yay??

Vitti hasn't been in class all last week and she's not in today either, grrrr.

Lost my USB key all last week so I couldn't do ANYTHING so that was TOTAL crap. Becasue everything is on there so I was genuinely scared. But wonderful Dovigs found it on Friday so I told him I would love him forever. He just laughed. Horrible man.
