The Last Day of Summer

Happy Birthday to the Both of You Today is Laurie's birthday everyone so you should all rush over there and wish her the best. Tonight I am going back over there for supper and then going out to Mike's house. It was Mike's birthday yesterday so happy birthday to him again. Parties are fun, haven't been to a birthday party in a while. Still don't know what I am going to wear but I guess I will wear something to laur's and then change over there for mike's, I guess that will work. Now I am going to go take a shower and relax for a little whole before the festivities begin. *By the way, check out my new button, woo hoo, it is so pretty!

Feels So Good I had a very good day today because I saw Katie and actually did something instead of just staying home. First we started by playing a little FFR and then moved on to doing yoga. I love yoga, it makes me feel so much more relaxed and it does wonders for my body. After yoga we went to her dad's house and went swimming. ahhh how I love to swim. We lasted for 40 minutes and then headed towards the sauna. We were all ready to relax somemore but it was not working for some odd reason :( I guessed that the heating was not working because the pool was super cold today also. So we took a shower and went up to eat supper instead. I am currently getting ready to go over to Laur's house for her "mini party". Kristina and myself are going, should be fun because Laur is currently hooked on playing the Sims and I don't mind watching that game at all. Woo hoo we are gonna watch some movies also so that should be kool... that mean laur's super duper pop...

That Feeling Have you ever woken up with a nervous feeling? Well this morning I didn't exactly wake up with it but I've been feeling it all day in my stomach, I wonder why? Today I registered for my beach nationals and I have to now buy flippers and a snorkel, who would have thought? I hope that I will do alright in the course, I am a little intimidated by it being all in french but I will survive. Yay woo hoo... i'm a survivor. Camp is starting in about 3 weeks, this should be an interesting summer, I am looking forward to it. I don't have much to do today other than lounge around the house so it shouldn't be too stressful. Wonder why I have this feeling tho... bah.

Never knew not accomplishing anything could feel so Great Today I was really supposed to teach myself how to use dreamweaver and go through all the tutorials. Did I? No, of course I didn't, Kim came over to my house instead and we just ate pizza and watched some tv. Oh well, I didn't mind. I watched this show called Fame and then he made me watch extreme makeovers, which, in my opinion, is pretty disgusting. meh I guess if that is what it takes to make people happy... I lent Laur the Sims today and I'm glad that she had a fun time playing it. I used to love that game so much, don't play it so often anymore, too bad. Tomorrow I seriously have to call about beach nationals and enroll in the course, i hope there are places still. I am thankful that Laurie is doing it with me, thanks man. I wouldn't be so into taking the course by myself and in french. I have this odd feeling that we will have a really good time though, don't know why. We'll see, I just ...

The Thoughts Launched by Bruce Almighty To start off I will warn anyone who has not yet seen the movie that you shouldn't read this because, chances are, I am going to talk about the movie and different parts of it. Overall, I did like the movie very much. The whole message of it, I thought was great. Why do we all sit on our asses and pray to God when things get rough to help us out? I am not saying there is anything wrong with praying to God (or Goddess) but maybe we ask God for too much when it is within our very control. Instead of bitching and crying about every little thing, maybe we can improve stuff on our own without waiting for the Devine to do our work for us? I "pray" or more like talk with Spirit all the time but I also know that he/she/it is pretty damn busy. Just look at the sad ways of our world and then you'll see just how much work poor mr or mrs god has to do. Jeez Bruce screwed it up pretty damn bad only having the power for a couple of hours...

WOW All I can manage to get out is wow... This site is so beautiful now. Sounds funny, me stating how beautiful my site is but it was Kyle who designed it for me. Provided I set the theme with that picture I feel in love with, everything else was him. I am amazed, thank you so so much. I really have to start learning to do things on my own soon. I want to change my cam pic soon, I don't think I can take looking like an elf for much longer. I would love to get a web cam but I don't know when that will be. :( I think the only complaint I have about this whole site is that it became Mindy's World instead of her retreat... I'll live tho. Yesterday I had to wake up fairly early to go and get my boat lisence, it should be coming in the mail some time soon. The test was actually pretty hard, I have to teach myself all that starboard, port stuff because I missed most of that. Red, right returning.... right. I should enroll myself in a beach nationals class soon but I h...

Movie Night What better to do on a rainy day than to watch a bunch of movies with some of your closest friends. I have so many movies that my granny bought so I invited a few girls over for tonight and we are going to watch some, obviously. Sarita just called me and she is gonna pick up some brownie stuff and we are gonna make brownies! Well I'm not going to make them because I'm a disaster in the kitchen but some of us, I hope, know how to bake things. OMG, i've had such a craving for brownies in the passed few days, woo hoo! It is gonna be so fun, maybe I can sucker them into playing some board games with me. hahah I am such a loser, I don't know why but for some reason I like games. Probably all the time on my hands as an only child or something. I've wanted to watch the movie West Side Story for a while now but I also feel like seeing a comedy, I hope I can find one. They should start getting here in two hours so maybe I'll read my book to pass the time o...

It'll be Different. What is that I see? Could it be a new poll, I think it could. Nice, if only I could have some super powers. I have that human greed problem though because I think I would want more than just one. Most super heros do have more than one though, so why not? Tonight or today I am either having a girls night out or I am going to see Bruce Almighty with the guys. I don't know which it will be but I would be happy with either. I've been to enough movies lately but this one looks really funny muhahahahahha. I haven't hung out with all the girls in a while though so that would be good also. Uh oh, I sense a conflict coming on. We'll see... ;) * Well funny how things turn out. I think that I am going to a BBQ tonight instead of either of the other two things. It is a friend of Laurie's, Nicole, from her island cottage. We'll see if I feel like being social or not because I will not know many people there.

Plans for Tonight? Alright so I am not the kind of person who allows themselves to get bored and do nothing. But, granted I have amused myself these passed few days, I would like to have something to do outside of my house tonight. I wonder what it will be? I don't know if Kim is busy tonight or some people from camp or what Laurie wants to do or Katie but we should all figure something out because it feels like I am wasting my vacation time. Most of you are probably busy but if not leave me any suggestions you would like and NO laur, I will not go rollerblading ;) * Can someboday help? I would like to go out and have fun tonight and I know I should be able to depend on myself but I feel like a hermit these days so c'mon, who's it gonna be? What can i do? ** Right so somehow I got suckered into going bowling but I guess that is better than nothing... right?

Hey dork, I fixed it!! You owe me :P Now it's time for bed (1:09am..eek) goodnight :)

Hey Melinda, I tried to fix blogger as well as I could, your template was all messed up, it was actually gone so I had to rescript everything for you.. I dunno what you did. It's still not completly fixed as you can see, only one post shows .. I'll try to figure that out later. - Laur Please... Ok so I am just doing a test post to see if this will work because blogger hates me. Why do I always hear noises when I am home alone as if someone is in my house? Anywho I was trying to link two people the other day but couldn't so if you can see them today if this post works. OK it works thanks to Laur . So as I was saying go see Rachel and Jade everyone. Those duck fans who make themselves very apparent on my site should especially go see Jade. OMG Blogger is the worst thing ever! Everything sucks! Clay I love you! :*( Aww man... never my favorites ones.

Frustration! Alright... so last minute dates and plans are driving me crazy. I do not get to travel much let me tell you and I was all excited about going to cape cod this weekend but now I do not think i can go because I was just told that I have to get my boat lesson for camp this week. I also have to find a place to take my beach nationals and they are only available in french I think. Man... not that I cannot speak french but I would prefer doing it in english just to make sure I am on top of things. Oh well whatever. I am looking forward to being head lifeguard, don't get me wrong, I am just stressed out and the moment and very very disappointed. Oh well... I am probably not meant to travel much. On the bright side, I LOVE driving... boats, go karts, anything. I shoulda been a race car driver. hahahah or maybe a taxi driver muhahaha. I wonder what it is like to drive a plane, maybe I should become a pilot. OH man... think about that am how much I would get to travel, I th...

My poor little behind I'd like to start off by first saying Ouch Mc Grouch ! Laur made me go rollerblading with her today and guess what? I fell 3 times however I only remember falling twice for some reason. My bum hurts so much and there is a gigantic red spot (soon to be a bruise) on my leg. Evil laur Evil Evil evil!!! Last night I watched the Matrix for the second time. I am talking about the first one but I also saw the second the friday that just passed. Anywho the reason I really wanted to watch the first is because I thought somehow it might help me make sense of the second and I did realize something. The first movie is so much better than the second but before I 100% confirm that statement, I am going to go and see the Matrix: Reloaded again. Somehow I don't think that the second one continued the way it should have from the first but I guess they do have to shake things up a bit. I dunno... I think that I liked Neo's and Morpheus' characters better...

First Day of Summer Almost a song by the Cure and although today isn't the first actual day of summer (or the last), it still felt like it. Summer changes something inside of me. I don't know if it is actually the sun or the strength of it but whatever, somehow everything feels better and more hopeful in the summer. The summer is what makes love seem possible, for me at least. I know... I am very weird, yeah yeah. You'll all just have to learn to accept it and love me anyways. muhahahaha So whom ever thinks that they got some finger magic going on should go to this site and give it a shot Flash Flash Revolution I've been playing it quite a bit today, you do have to register now but it takes 2 seconds and it's free. So if Kristina is reading this by chance and still could use some help with that assignment she could just leave me an e-mail, a whisper, a guestbook signature or a tagboard tag... look at all those choices, my my. hehehehe I wonder why I am so happy...

It is all so sad Ok so I know how my mom is and I've come to accept it. At least I think I have but some things make me less sure of myself. A friend of my mom, a best friend from a long time ago actually died last night. It is the daughter if my granny's best friend. She has 4 children, two babies and two others living in Toronto. It is my belief that if you choose to lead the kind of a life then you are ultimately going to die that kind of death but it is still hard to accept when it happens. I used to wait sometimes to hear that my mom would be dead of a drug overdose but I haven't heard that in over 7 years so she must be a lucky one. Lucky... well that is a joke but I'm sure you get what I mean and even if you don't, it doesn't really matter. Anyway I feel so bad for those kids. In a way it would have been less tragic if my own mom would have died because she doesn't have 4 kids and she doesn't take care of two babies. I live with my granny and ...

Oh My Heart! I woke up this morning at 10:00 because my granny went to the store and my dog decided to sit infront of my door, which was closed, and just bark like a freaking maniac. Of course she woke me up during what had potential to be a very good dream. Anyway I finally get back to sleep with the dog on my bed and I here my granny say "oh Melinda you're awake" from the front door really like. I replied "well I am now", I guess she thought I was because my door was opened. So by this time 11:15, I decided that I should just get up because I'm probably not going to get anymore sleep anyway. Right... so I'm getting up... I'm in my little snoppy pyjamas and I'm walking down the hall. I get into the living room and for some reason go to look out the window. There I see A MAN STANDING OUTSIDE IN MY WINDOW! I let out some kind of squeal and retreated down the hall. Nothing to worry about though, just the people cleaning the windows. But jeez, I...

Oh Boy Today is a little bit of a tough day. I'm very tired, probably because I haven't done much in the last three days. I went to the orthodontist and they just tightened my retainer, no big deal. I have to go back in six months. I'll probably continue to play final fantasy today and blame my lazyiness on the weather. I don't like being in situations where people's feelings are a risk. Sometimes it is hard to be completely straight forward in those situations but you still have to be and make the best out of it. I wonder if any people out there have a best friend that is of the opposite sex that they have not once dated or had strong feelings for (returned or not) at some time or another. The age old debate, can you really be best friends with a person of the opposite sex who is not gay? Let's here some comments for once, please. I am going nuts with seeing 0 comments all the time. Maybe I should just take the comments off because in the end I will just...

Final Fantasy lX I woke up at 12:15 today and Katie is still sleeping at the moment. This is the second day she has slept over. All day long yesterday we were playing Final Fantasy 9 and it was pretty fun. It is Kim's game so thanks to him for letting me borrow it for so long. Anywho Katie and I were kicking ass with the Chocobo treasures and stuff, we have the chocobo who can fly now and we got to the "sacred chocobo garden" where Katie saw you could get an eidolon (like a GF kinda). I am determined to get it but it was 1 something last night by the time we found it annnnnd I tried getting it twice and was annihilated both times! Time to break out the stradegy guide I think, I don't like using those but man... my ass got whipped. I'll probably try a few more times with Katie or alone in case she leaves because she is bored of playing ;) and if I can't do it I'll call Kim and see if he ever got it and if that doesn't work then I'll surf around ...

Heaven I have to return downstairs now because I just came upstairs from the baby shower to pee. Anyway, I figured I would make a quick post and just talk about my day out with Sarita. OMG! Just this morning I was talking with Kyle all about spas and massages and all that and guess what? Sarah made me get a massage at the mall! It was heaven, I swear. Girls were doing massages there for like 10 bucks for 10 or 15 minutes. woah. It was really really great, I felt like i was walking on clouds later although I got pretty sleepy at the same time. I bought my granny a mother's day present (a really nice picture frame) AND I bought myself a new pair of flip flops, hurrah they are pretty cute. Anywho I should be getting back downstairs before anyone realizes I am talking long. So many people to say hi to and do the kiss kiss thing with. hahah It is nice seeing people though and the person who the baby shower is for is Irish so I'm just dying to have to talk with me. ;) Oh and by...

WOO HOO! I am on vacation now for about, hmmm, a month and a half maybe. Pretty sweet huh? Man it's about time, I need to relax a little and party at the same time. No more thinking about tests and assignment and no more studying... at least until the next semester. This one went really well, almost everything went great EXCEPT for research methods. I am still pretty pissed about that whole situation and that dumb teacher. err mc grr. Anywho today I'm gonna clean up my room and get rid of everything from school that I don't need anymore. Textbooks take up so much room but hopefully I can sell them next semester or something. I don't know why I kept all my science ones. oh yeah... I have a funny story to tell. My granny was making lasagna today and she went to put things in the blender (dunno why) and like the lid flew off, hit the ceiling, and lasagna went all over the place. Some even made it to hitting the front door. You should see the shirt she changed out of, g...

Take A Walk The western civ. test went alright today. I just have to finish up my Research methods paper (for the biatch) and study for my psychology test. Not so bad I guess and then guess what? I'M FINISHED SCHOOL!! (until the fall semester that is) Today was a very beautiful day, it felt just like summer. My friends and I sat outside to study without jackets, alright. After dance class I met Laurita and then we walked all the way home from school. That is a pretty long walk, can't give you an estimation tho because I have no idea. How long is a mile in the first place? We passed DQ and I really wanted a reese peanut buttercup blizzard but I only had for bucks and so I couldn't get Laur one at the same time. Oh well, there'll be a next time. My right foot hurts a little and my ass from falling on rollerblades yesterday, but other than that I am feeling pretty good. I'm going to eat a pogo woohoo... in the states they are called corn dogs, betcha didn't...

Mah Jong My sociology test went alright, I think. There were terms in the test that I hadn't heard of before but I think that I passed anyway. I have to go back to school for 4 to take my economics final. Woah there are really only two days left of school woo hoo again! I am a little bit excited to go back to camp but right now I am more excited to relax and have a lot of time to myself. I need a lot of that and that is one of the problems I have at camp. You have a roomate, you are with people all day and then all night and the only time you are alone is when you are sleeping and even then, you aren't always alone. hahaha Sometimes it is fun and everything but other times I just need my own private space, know what i mean? I'll figure something out for this year. I remember one time last summer when I was doing a ritual and some retards were like outside of my room eavesdropping, I was really pissed. I felt like having a Carrie moment, ever seen that movie? Grr, it rea...

I'll Be This week is going much smoother than I thought it would. I'm not as stressed as I thought I would end up being. I think I've learned to manage my time a lot better. Anyway 2 tests done and only 4 left to go, should be alright I think. I'm listening to a song by Jimmy Eat World which I like enough. Part of the song is really getting to me; "I wanna fall in love tonight", how true. I couldn't think of a better way to spend the time I have before camp, being blindly in love. Better yet, not just the time before camp but for the whole summer or the rest of my life. Maybe blindly was a bad choice of words but I would like to experience something that strong and that passionate. Wonder if anyone else is feeling me? Having one class per day is still amazing but next week I'll have no classes per day which is even better. I'm looking forward to meeting some new people and getting to know them. I do not know how this will happen but I have...

Sunday Bloody Sunday All i can say is that I am looking forward to this time come next week. * I can't take it anymore, it feels like there is no one left who I can trust anymore, no one but my granny. At least I have her then but friends should be able to trust friends, isn't that the whole principle behind the concept. Trusting no one would be a good thing but by nature I somehow still trust and I can't help it. This is the one lesson I just can't seem to learn.

Content Enough Yay, so Laur has yet another new layout so go check it out. woo hoo. Kyle is helping me with a new layout, he is so great. Well helping me... actually designing the whole thing for me would be more like the truth. I still don't know what I am doing when it comes to making layouts. So thanks to him, I am going to have a super nice new layout with my favorite creatures of all time, you'll see and if you know me well enough I'm sure you already know what I am refering to. Seeing x-men last night was really good but surprisingly enough I am left remembering how good the chocolate I had during the movie was. Mmmmhhh. Andrew... those cookies were pretty good man. So today I should be getting my school work done and tonight I am going to a party that Paul invited me to. We'll see what that is like but free food is usually a good sign. muhaahha Anywho... on with the work... * Look at my cam pic! I know I look pretty ugly but hey, it's Aladdin!!! ...

Yawn What a lazy/tired day. Raining and raining... I only had one class today but after it I had to go all around the school talking to authority people about what is happening with my research methods teacher. People seem to be on my side so we will see what happens... I make those ... a lot. yawn. Tonight I am going to go see X-men 2, woo hoo! Ever since I was a little kid I have been watching X-men. Rogue is my favorite I think but I also like Wolverine a lot and Ice man. yep yep. Boy, I even feel boring writing this. I do not have so much to write about today other than how tired I am. I guess I'll go try and take a nap even though I should be working on my papers and studing for my 6 tests coming up this week!!! (ack!) * my poor poll. I didn't put a limit on the votes and someone went completely crazy. lol CARMEN is OUT! so sorry.
