Fire Hydrants

I sat on a fire hydrant for a long time and watched the people go by.

I felt like a hoodlum. It was fun.
I watched 2 movies today cause I have no life, but they both had important lessons in them. As follows:
1. Shark Tale- don’t lie, and love for who you are. Here’s a quote:
"She thinks I'm somebody!"
"Yes, but would she love you if you were nobody?"
"No one loved me when I was nobody!"
*softly* "I did"

2. Paycheck- a good mind twister movie. Go see it. The lesson: don't look at your future. It spoils the present and the future. If you see your future you will either try to make it happen or go out of your way to change what might not happen in the first place.

Quote of the day: Teri: "Humor me. Do the airplane thing."
Teri's mom: "Bzzz..." starts to fly the food into Teri's mouth like she were 2 years old.
Teri is laughing so hard she can't eat it. You all know the old feeding games.

Tired of it all

Would all the fake people please stand up?
Thank you.
Leave.

I saw a new kid in town on Friday. He looked about my age and came out of the post office. So I don't think that he is a visitor. Because generally people don't send their guests to the post office. I wonder...

It's Sunday night and I'm already bored. If anyone wants to go for coffee or whatever this week, talk to me cause I ain't doing anything. I feel so out of the loop.

Speaking of new kids, when's the new pastor's kid getting here? I would like to meet him. Call me a creep now and get it over with, but I tend to like pastor's kids.

Last random thought of the day: Nathan is very cute.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

i just came home from seeing this movie and it is amazing! i laughed, i almost cried, i giggled, i went through the whole spectrum. Johnny Depp is an astoundingly good actor as Willy Wonka. everyone must go see this movie. it is my new favorite.

Do you ever get a swooping in your stomach when you think about a........certain person?

Just Got Home

i just got home from camp and it was... interesting. i much prefer being staff, but i still had fun. more later because i have to go to bed now because i have to work tomorrow morning!

alright, PROMISED UPDATE!!!!!!!


Whiskey had 6 kittens. 6!!! anyone want one? i'm allowed to only have 3 cats by October and i already have 2. now i have 8. if no one can find any homes they all die. except one. so yeah, Whiskey popped.

another update: WE HAVE NO BERRIES. zero. zip. nil.
actually, it would take about 2 hours to fill 1 ice cream pail. you should be able to get 4. they all were fungused and are now all gone. that really sucks. i'm sorry everyone, but its life and it will go on.

quote of the day: "pigs may not fly, but neither do eagles in cages."
THINK ABOUT THAT.

FATTER than ever...



and still not popping.

Arrrrrrrrrrg! Cows!!!!!?

whiskey's fat.
Steph and Carrie were right on Thursday. I give in.

Ahhhhh

so i got back from staff training this morning. it was a lot of fun except for the fact that it was cut short because I ACQUIRED PINKEYE. stupid eyes. we were supposed to go to the lake and party there this afternoon but nooo, i get to go home, weed saskatoons, and lie on my couch while my eyes pus and swell. but i'd rather not contaminate anyone from camp, and i can still go back on sunday cause it'll be gone by then. but here's some quotes from the weekend:

ummm, you're stroking my leg. -Mark

drinking, drugs, pornography...it was all a part of my life. except for the drugs, because i didn't do that. -Ryan

yarba people, be quiet now. -Kristin

la la la la la la la la hiss hiss la la la -Zech

if the trailer's rockin' don't come a-knockin' -Tobi

i want to take him out on timeshare -Mark

i was a late bloomer...in the rebellion area! -Marlen

we were debating, but Andrew had a knife. -advance team in the car building thing

Days go by, I Guess

its already July and summer. this year has gone by so fast. i'm in Grade 11 this fall, but i don't feel mature enough for that. there are times that i want to not grow up, to stay irresponsible and childlike. i used to think that people in grade 11 and 12 were so grownup and mature, but then i got here and we're really not.
this makes me really happy, but don't say i'm a geek: i got 104% on my math final.

i'm sorry. but i want to share with someone and here no one can yell at me for getting a good grade. i'm pretty sure i failed my home ec test though.

example of Teri's answers on her home ec test: name 4 dairy products.
*Teri's mind goes blank* umm, milk, cheese, yogurt, and, ummm, beef. it comes from cows.

whiskey's fat. she should hurry up and have her kittens. i shall inform anyone who reads this when she does.

I'm excited for next school year already. our classes are almost exactly the same, with the exception of Kim and lacey switching classes. i hope we get the new pastors son.

staff training starts tomorrow. I'm so excited just to be out of dalmeny and on my summer vacation already. my whole family left this morning so i'm home alone all day and all night, then Redberry. sprechen of berries, ours havent started yet, but they will soon.
Quote of the day: Christine: "say something in German"
Teri: "umm, die Pulli ist rot" (the shirt is red)
