PUPPY!

My dad, mum and I were watching the dog show the other night and looking at all the breeds. My mum's kind of a big fan and can predict who's gonna win, she knows more about the scoring than I do; I just kind of watch for the dogs, though I like cats better.

Anyways, she said that if the prices are good we might get a dog when my grandmother goes to Greece (which is in April) and that way by the time she gets back we'll have trained it and she can't complain!

Whoopie!

Seriously, my grandmother hates animals and always complains about them, and has even given away some of my pets while I was at school. Admittedly, I wasn't very responsible as a child but I'm grown up now, and she still assumes I do nothing. So, a puppy....doesn't that sound great?

MOAR!

So on Boxing Day, I convinced my mother to take me down to John St. to the Chapters there, where I bought myself Doctor Who Season One. It was on sale and I had a hundred dollars in gift certificates for Chapters, so I picked it up.

Here's something you may not know, Doctor Who is ridiculously expensive. Still I bought it, even thought it cost $108.00 and I spent the last few days, soaking it in as I religiously watched it. I even watched most of the special features, and now, I think I'll watch it again. Maybe next week, though.

So while downtown I wanted to see if Angel Season 2 was still on sale for $19.99. It wasn't at Best Buy so we agreed to pop into the HMV down the street. It was there and on sale....

I could buy TWO SEASONS of Angel for $30.00 which is what I did, so now I have Angel Season 2 and Season 3 which I have been watching all day. Seriously, I didn't get out of bed except to eat breakfast and make the hellspawns lunch. Then I was right back up here, and enjoying every second of it.

Two days ago, we went to Scarborough Town Centre and I had Taco Bell and we stared at the puppies in the petshop. I was getting kind of annoyed with all the kids and the tiny cages they had them in. My mom bought some really cute things for work using her gift certificate, and I found this really cute pair of jeans (not skinny) and a pin-striped vest which makes me look really good.

Christmas!

So, how was Christmas for you guys?

Mine was good, typical holiday. We went to my nonna's on Christmas Eve where we ate seafood because in the Catholic tradition you're not supposed to eat meat on Christmas Eve. Seems like all the religious events are about suffering, even though it is a happy occasion what with the birth of Jesus Christ and all that. Still we feasted and my dad went to midnight mass and then when he came back we opened gifts.

I got lots of clothes, mostly shirts and some money, plus a Batman hoodie and a new cellphone from my parents and my brother. It's gorgeous! I can't stop playing with it. I'm afraid I have East York Cellphone Syndrome, or whatever it's called.

I also got an IPod port-thingy which means that I can connect my IPod and listen to my music externally. It's white and shiny! It also works really well, so that's all for me. What about you in the blogosphere?

PISCES POWAH!

So, it's Tuesday which means blog day. Yeah, I like to keep to a schedule but not a routine. I don't do well with routines. It's because I'm a pisces, it took me years to get into a habit of taking showers, brushing my teeth and taking my vitamins. So here's some little tidbits about Pisceans, in case any of you bloggers are interested, or if you have friends who are Pisceans.

Pisceans possess a gentle, patient, malleable nature. They have many generous qualities and are friendly, good natured, kind and compassionate, sensitive to the feelings of those around them, and respond with the utmost sympathy and tact to any suffering they encounter. They are deservedly popular with all kinds of people, partly because their easygoing, affectionate, submissive natures offer no threat or challenge to stronger and more exuberant characters. They accept the people around them and the circumstances in which they find themselves rather than trying to adapt them to suit themselves, and they patiently wait for problems to sort themselves out rather than take the initiative in solving them. They are more readily concerned with the problems of others than with their own.

I also have my moon sign in Libra which gives me my organizational skills. Among other things. My friend is also a water and air sign, like me. We get along really well, hardly ever argue or fight, unlike my other friend, who we always snipe at each other. I bolded my birthday and the people who also have the same day.

Anyways, here's some famous Pisces, and their birthdays. Enjoy.

Newspaper and the Teacher Talent Show

I'm really excited for the class newspaper, I keep telling everyone I know to attain a copy after the holidays! Everything is turning out so great, the adbuster-ads are really funny, and I've seen bits of the layout (sneakily watching over Kam's and Alex's shoulders) and I don't think I've been more excited! We only had a week and three days but it's really coming together! Thanks to everyone who worked so hard on everything and to Ms.Cat, who trusted us to do our own thing and coming up with the project!

On an entirely unrelated note:

GAMBIT IS IN THE NEW X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE TRAILER! BECAUSE OF THIS I CAN NO LONGER WRITE IN ANYTHING BUT CAPS LOCK ON THIS BLOG!

HE IS AWESOME AND MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE X-MEN CHARACTER! PLEASE ENJOY SOME PICTURES FROM MARVEL.COM FOR THE NEW MOVIE COMING OUT MAY 1ST!

I Dunno

I don't know really to write about.

Christmas holidays are coming up, and it annoys me that I can't say 'Merry Christmas' because some people might find that offensive. I think those people need to get a life and stop whining about things. So, Winter Holidays are coming up, and that means no school for two weeks. And most of my teachers have decided on no homework, cause they don't want to mark it. So, it looks like it'll be an easy holiday.

Which is a good thing, even though as each Christmas goes by, I find myself more jealous of my cousins. It's not my fault, they really do get everything. They have three X-Boxes, an Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii, digital cameras and the kitchen sink. Okay, I was kidding about the kitchen sink part.

So I find myself growing more and more bitter as the Christmases go by. Oh well, I'll just need to suck it up and show off my great acting skills for another year. Maybe I can convince someone to buy me Torchwood Season 1, or maybe Doctor Who Season 3.

Happy Holidays Everybody!

MC Mia on the Mike

So, not many of you probably know this but today (Friday December 12, 2008) I was the Master of Ceremonies for the Winter Haromonies Assembly. It was sort of a last minute thing and it was a lot more stressful than I had first anticipated. I had to run around to all my morning teachers and get there permission and move assignments and presentations around so that I could do it. It was worth it in the end.

I had a lot of fun even though I was really nervous. I expected to see the spotlight shining on me, and I would open my mouth and no sound would come out. But it didn't turn out like that at all. I even cracked a few jokes and the audience responded really well. I don't know if anyone can vouch for me though.

I was really nervous, I shook uncontrallably when the paper was in my hands but after a while, I guess I got used to it and my nervousness went down. It was still there but it was a lot more downplayed. I'm glad I got to do it (I almost refused.) It's something I'll remember, even if it was just a small assembly. It took a lot of courage to get up there because of my stage fright but I did it anyways and I didn't screw up too badly. (Missed a cue once, but that was fine.)

It'll be another high school memory to take with me.

My Meeting with the Doctor

Just something that popped into my head as I was walking home from school. Italics are a response to a question.

As I was walking home,
past the creepy-looking house on Sammon,
my music blasting in my ears-

No, it wasn't the Spice Girls.

Anyway, I looked up from scanning through my list,
I spied a blue telephone box,
but not just a telephone box,
a police telephone box.

Yes, there is such a thing, just not in Canada.

Being the curious kitten that I was,
I went up to the box and rapped on it,
Once,
Twice,
Thrice.
It opened and out came The Doctor.

What do you mean Dr. Who? THE DOCTOR, now stop interupting.

So he looked me up and down,
a grin on his face and hair spiked crazily.
"Would like to see the world?" He asked me.
I nodded and stepped into the Tardis.

The TIME-MACHINE HE TRAVELS IN! You are no longer allowed to talk.

"It's bigger on the inside," I said.
He grinned, "that's what they all say."
"So where are we going?"
"Oh, just a little galaxy-"

HEY! Where are you going? Stop! I command you to stop, or I'll send the Daleks after you! Stop laughing! I said, stop laughing!

Another Metaphor (I Find These Things Fun)

So here's another of those metaphor things, I think they're really fun.

Friendship is an ice cream sundae, it melts all over you if you wait too long.


Eh, that doesn't really make sense. Let's try that again...

Friendship is an ice cream sundae without all the components it's just plain ice cream.

Things You Can Buy on EBay

I really like this one site called Cracked! It's really mysoginistic, perverted and deals with mature subjects but it's also really funny and informative. Still based on the title of my post you can tell that some people have no lives. Cracked.com came up with a list of things that you'll be shocked you can buy on EBay, and it's scary. I'm kind of terrified to think that people out there would actually buy some of this stuff.

Like, you can sell used tissues that were touched by famous people and there's a huge market out there! There was a woman who was selling her old breast implants-before they were replaced by new ones, I know, creepy as heck. And really unhygenic, too. I don't know how much it went for but it's just too creepy to think about. Someone was selling a male chastity belt (made entirely out of plastic) Yeah, boys, just imagine wearing that.

Let's see, there's someone selling a Nickelback shot glass, Barack Obama Digital Political Pop Art, the world's largest Lite-Brite (which is a recreation of DaVinci's The Last Supper) there was a raccoon penis bone (the user has an entire collection of things made from the bone and accessories to go with it...yeah, I'm scared, too...) But the best would have to be invisibility, the actual power of invisibility is being sold on EBay, and they promise that it's not an illusion! Huh.

But that's still not the most insane thing I ever heard, there was a boom in IPod accessories, everyone knows the sensible ones, like the alarm clock, and the protective case but, I bet you didn't know that there was an IPod Breathalizer, or an Ipod Teeth-Whitener (apparently, sound waves help to whiten your teeth and strengthen your enamel.) There's an IPod Laser Light, that plugs into the headphone port, kind of useless when IPods light up anyways. There was even an IPod Shaver (for men and women!) But I think the most insane was the IPod toilet paper holder, with six waterproof speakers. Meditate on that a while and see what's wrong with that.

Still, I think the craziest thing, that had Animal Rights Activists up in arms, was the IPond. Yes, now you can have a little tiny beta fish instead of your IPod screen and listen to music while you stare at it. Yeah, I think I can see a few problems there. Still, it's nice to know that creativity has not completely dissapeared, if only it could be sensible again and used for actual function. Oh, and that the fish haven't been forgotten, remember, sea life needs protecting too!
