I would like to present, from the moste famous and wonderouse poetesses Tabitha "the smart one who should take Writer's Craft" and Eva "the one who's actually taking Writer's Craft" ...

The Ballad of the One

How's that for a war ballad? Much of the credit goes to Tab, as she made up all the good lines and stopped me from trying to put in an unmentionable line about green polyester.

Hey all,

I am in bed. Trying in vain to ignore these bulging, throbbing balloons of pain that are my jaws. I just had applesauce. It was good but now I really want potatoe pancakes.

Yesterday they had to give me THREE IVs. Because I somehow don't have good circulation in my hands so they stuck a needle in my left hand and then shoved it all around (who DOES that?) and then finally concluded that my left hand wasn't good. So they tried my right hand. Same thing. But I don't have any more hands (no kidding) so they shoved it in a new place in my right hand. God.

Laughing gas rocks, though.

I spent the day watching crap movies and sleeping. THEN Ariane and Kelsey came over in a lovely and wonderous surprise visit complete with chocolate and candy. I could talk (and did talk) because the freezing hadn't quite worn off yet. Now it has. Anyway, that was really great. Thanks to all who were in on it and I am very impressed that you guys braved the copious amounts of snow. 

To anyone who reads this: could you leave me a funny joke or saying or something? Maybe you heard it on the bus or it's a favourite piece of poetry. You don't have to but I think it would be fun. I need amusement. (Although I am reading "The Nanny Diaries" which is HILARIOUS, you should all borrow it.)

I'll start:

Sir, if you were my husband, I would poison your drink. –Lady Astor to Winston Churchill
Madam, if you were my wife, I would drink it. --His reply (Smart British guys!)

Have great weekends!

Eva

I love "studying"

Hey,

So I went to school yesterday to get my schedule etc. And I heard that everyone else did too (lol). Then I got a call today from Refausse...it was really wierd cuz I was in my pyjamas. I didn't know guidance counselors called just to change your schedule. Anyhow, this is what I have:

Sem 1:
Calculus (with novotany...help!)
spare
English AP
French AP (with chouinard but I think everyone else is in this class..yay! Only one of us will ever have to do homework...)

I hope I have classes with people. I'm so gonna waste my spare like I did last year even though I have vowed not too...damn!

Eva

Hey everyone,

It's been awhile since I updated as some ppl have been vaguely hinting. So I'm at my aunt's and I'm bored.

Work is soooo exhausting. I'm sorry I haven't been in touch with people but I honestly come home and just crash. I stutter through dinner, watch a couple reruns on TV and the am drawn to my bed like flies are to honey.

Other than that, it's pretty fun. I have a new and utmost respect for teachers, though. I break up fights (like a bouncer) and explain things and take people on washroom runs and sometimes I have to go yell at them in the hall. Ah! Oh, and I got a job at the office (like the front desk, customer service kind of thing) for the school-year. Bad pay but I have full access to office supplies )one day I will be found there dead beside the photocopier.)

Other than that...

Tab, Kelsey and I went on a camping/cottage adventure last weekend. We decided to bushwhack (look it up), which was very stupid. One of us stepped in a wasp's nest and Tab and I ran down the mountain, screaming and swearing. We tried the whole 'divide and conquer' approach but we both got stung several times anyway.

The road TO the cottage was made for SUVs. My mom went up and we could hear the clambour of rocks falling and smell the tires burning from our little station wagon. It was a near thing that we made it out.

What else? I'm seeing Dracula the musical in french on wednesday. (With my friend from the exchange last summer, I didn't imagine you'd go with me, Lindsay! lol) I know. It's going to be quite the experience.

Oh, and this happened awhile ago, but my family went white-water rafting for my mom's birthday. Very fun. Then we went to the horse races for my sister's birthday. My sister would always bet on the losing horses and I on the winning ones, it was a good evening.

Not much else.

See y'all when school begins if not before. (I'm actually looking forward to school...it starts at nine instead of eight...i only have to be there for three classes...I don't have to be all perky (that is what tires me out at work, being perky!)...and I get to see everyone all the time. Grads 07!!)

Eva

Hey everyone,

wow. I feel so out-of-touch. I haven't seen or talked to most of you in weeks. This must be remedied. Oh, and has anyone heard from Ariane?

Anyhow, today I was standing at the bus stop waiting for the 95 (it is a good bus, kelsey) with my great coworker. An old man and what appeared to be his grandson were there, too. I got out my bus tickets and was chatting with Staph when suddenly the old man held his bus transfer out to me. He said something like "I dropped my kids off here two hours ago, I don't need this." I just looked at it. Indeed it was the right date and there was still half an hour left on the transfer. The man watched me, though not in a creepy way like this sounds. "Use it," he urged.

when the bus pulled up at the curb, I did use it. The man and his grandson let me and Steph go first and then walked on also. He had a bus pass. They sat near us. "Thank you," I called, puzzled at this kind gesture. "You're welcome," he called back.

What the hell is wrong with a world where I'm freaked out when someone does something nice.

So here's chapter 2 (I think I'm doing alright...two chapters for two weeks of summer.) It's not as long as chapter one but I wanted to post SOMETHING. I'm currently working on Chapter 3 (yay!)

( Read more... )

Hey all

I've decided to take a page out of Gillian's book and update more often...

Not much been happening. I went to Stratford and saw Oliver! It was FANTASTIC and the boy who sings is just great and I can't wait to see it again in the fall!

Mostly I just wanted to try out new icons. (They are the Beatles)

OOh, lala! Johnny Depp is HOT!

Right now Ariane and Lindsay are making mac-n-cheese at my house while I sit on my butt and right. This is just a test to see if my JOHNNY ICON WORKS.

Chem is DONE, YAY! Except that t was the WORST EXAM EVER. Maybe if everyone fails they'll all give us an extra 10 percent? We can hope.

TAB: have a FAB time in Europe! I wish I could see you before you go. Take pictures and then show them to me. Don't combust after spending 3 weeks with your family.

So here I am. Avioding studying..."taking break". There's a nice storm going on outside, it'll break the heat. Yesterday my mom and I fled to my aunt's cuz she has air conditioning and a pool! Anyhow, we couldn't get the air conditioning to work (the directions were in french...I tried, I really did...it was a sad moment for my french ego)

Anthro and physics tomorrow. Yay. Gillian, be on my side here: did redmond teach us ANYTHING? No. Great guy, awful teacher. I'm in for some MAJOR memorizing tonight. AH!

Ooo, the lights are all off and it's lightning-ing! Bit creepy, cuz I'm home alone. God, I can't tupe without l ooking at the keyboard...this must improve.

Tab, I can't wait to read chap 3. Great title! How do you find time to write?
