Long time no blog

Hey, I haven't got much to write even though I haven't written in ages. I have so much homework. I literally have never had this much at one time. I'm so stressed. Also, the musical. I have no time. I wake up go to school, go to rehearsal, do homework, sleep, wake up, go to school, rehearsal, homework...etc. I'm so tired. I have to write and memorize 2 5-6 minute speeches, write 2 essays, read 3 essays and do 2 worksheets for each, study for a world issues test, draw 4 symmetrical bugs, memorize a monologue, do a family living assignment and practice my dances for the musical. I'm dieing. We danced for like 8 hours yesterday. I can barely walk. I wouldn't give it up for the world but it's so stressful. I have to go write a speech... :( bye.

stolen wallet

My wallet got stolen. It had $50, my medicare, my student id cards, my hbc rewards, my ae card, an ae gift card, my library card, my reciepts, some change, some phone numbers, my snorlax pokemon card:(, a note from ashley from grade 9, and a note from my old crush. I'm sad.

I'm seventeen.

It's my birthday. I'm seventeen. Not much else to say. I'm going to get a manicure with my cousin later then coming home for supper then going to the movies. I want to practice my cat makeup soon. I got facepaint. That is all.

Untitled

My wisdom teeth are being a bitch. My mom is ignoring me. I need facepaint. I am pissed.

I am just chillin' here at my Granny's house on her laptop while everyone else is sleeping. It's my birthday tomorrow. My aunt Julia bought me makeup as a gift. It's really nice and works really well. I had agreat time with her at the mall and I love being with her. I hope I see her a couple more times before I leave. Steven(my cousin) is the funniest kid EVER. I love him tons.

We had a turkey last night for supper. My Granny is moving so she is trying to get rid of food. I have gained like 10 pounds since I got here which sucks because I need to lose weight for Cats. I didn't watch the superbowl yesterday which is weird. I just couldn't watch it. I don't really like either team particularly and my taste for football is fading away. Also, there was not much enthusiasm about it like there usually is, my dad din't even yell or break anything and the team he was rooting for lost. I watched curling for about an hour yesterday

I am going shopping tomorrow with my Granny for my birthday gift. I want shoes I think. I also need to get to the dollar store to buy facepaint so I can practise for Cats. I'm excited to get going. I need to start writing my speech today. But, I don't know if I can because, A) I have a feeling I'll be busy, B) I think I have to get it approved by the teacher and C) I have no clue what to do it about.

I've been continuing to think about Europe. I discussed it with my friend Kirsten and she might be coming. Which is like super exciting. I'll write more when I know more.

I talked to my parents about a tattoo. My mom says, I need to think about it for about a week longer, she needs to approve of the tattoo and it might be my birthday gift. It depends on if she agrees with the tattoo design. She didn't like my ideas and wants me to get like a colorful flower or a ladybug. Yuck. It's been on my life goals list to get a tattoo for so long.

I am really bored right now. I am watching the family channel waiting for my Granny to get off the phone so I can call Ashley.

Until next time,Ciao.

I'm gonna live in London and get a tattoo and you can't stop me.

I want to travel the world and I also want to get a tattoo. I have plans for both. You'll see, they'll happen.
I want a tattoo that either says, "No Day But Today", or "to thine own self be true"...I'm leaning towards "No Day But Today" but I dunno if it's over done. I feel like someone else I know has it but I'm not sure. Well I'm sure I'll figure it out.
I think I am going to London for 6 months after highschool. Just gonna save some money, pack a bag and get on the plane. I need a workers permit I think but I can do that...NBD. They are hard to get in the UK right now but once again, I'll figure it out. I want to travel the world before I go to University because It's a great time to do it. Once I get into university I am in it for 5 years and then I want to teach right away. I think I'll teach in like Greece or something but I'm not sure. I just know I want to live in Italy, England, Spain, France(maybe), Greece, and NYC also I want to visit Germany, and possibly Eygpt or Ireland. I want to see the world!!!
I saw a Mel Gibson movie tonight with my Aunt Julia and my cousins Christopher and Steven. I love Julia. She lights up the room when she walks in and whatever emotion she feels it spreads. Like when she smiles her eyes go all squinty and her nose wrinkles up and it makes you feel so happy and when she is sad you can not help but cry. I love her. She is one of my favorite relatives and she gives the best advice ever.

Until next time, Ciao.

On the train.

I'm on the train. It's about 6:15. We are moving. It's exciting. I'm hella hungry. People aren't being very friendly but oh well. The person across from me has gel nails. They are nice but they don't suit her. No one is sitting beside me. Thank God. A lady just gave me a blanket. It feels weird. It's kind of bumpy.


There's something magical about it, the soothing, bouncy, rocking rhythm. The power lines look like jellyfish stingers stretched out. Wiggling. I'm seeing things I never would have seen if I hadn't come.


The horn just blew five times. The sky is yellow, orange, pink, and light blue. The mountains in the distance and clouds are all the same navy blue. It looks like a painting. If I pay attention to the sounds, I hear the rocks bouncing off the bottom of the train, the creaking leather shoes of the old man across and behind, the wind and someone flipping through a magazine.


The horn just blew four times. There are thousands of trees. The snow looks blue with the sky reflecting against it. The person across from me is talking. I like her. She doesn't talk much, just enough and she is quiet and sweet. I wonder about her life, she seems like she is trying to escape.


The horn just blew three times. The black lady in front of me is beautiful. She seems to be an alcoholic but I don't mind. She constantly drinks beer. I don't mind. She is pleasant. She smokes, which makes her voice crackle and you can hear flem coming up as she converses. I don't mind though because she is beautiful to make up for it. I heard her talking about getting drunk, money and her boyfriend. She likes action movies and is going on a diet when she gets 'home'.


Everyone has their window shades closed or nearly closed. I left mine open so I could stay up all night and watch the sky change. It's inspiring. The moon is still out. It looks like a half of a rubber bouncy ball.


The lady behind me looks to me like a university student. She is quite studious. She has a laptop with her as well as books, notepads, pens and strange food. She is eating something like hummus I think. I have wanted to talk to her ever since I got on the train but I'm too nervous.


The old man across and behind me is wearing beige slacks, creaky leather shoes, a plaid shirt, a grey jacket and has the most beautiful white leather bag with golden brown detailing. He has faded tattoos on his hands. This is a tattoo he had on his hand. I don't know what it is.




He is taking a few different types of pills right now. Earlier I saw him drink a greyish- brown thick liquid from a 2L sprite bottle. I wonder is it was polyjuice potion...? I asked him for the time a while ago. He had a lovely, raspy voice.



The lady in front of me and to the left is elderly. She is knitting. It's very sweet looking. I don't know what it is supposed to be but the yarn is a thin, silky, light blue color. I wish I brought some knitting.



The sky is getting pinker. I got about three hours of sleep last night. It's a 15 hour train ride.

The lady across from me said that if I went to the canteen she would give me money to get her a water. I'm not hungry now but I may get something later. The train just whistled three times. The sky is really pink.



The train is stopping. Is this my stop? This doesn't look like St. Lambert. There is a huge field with a tree all by itself. I like it. The sky is pink, yellow, orange and blue and the clouds are purple and pink and some are yellow. It's spectacular.



The horn just blew six times. My wisdom teeth are coming in and it hurts like a bitch. For a 10 day trip all I packed was a small book bag and my purse and I met a lady at the train station in Moncton who was going away for three days and had a suitcase and big bag. I laughed.



There is this old lady on the train who I've decided to call Old Yeller. She is the loudest person I've ever heard. I barely slept because of her. She is really quite funny though. She went and smoked with some young adults, played poker( almost played strip poker until advised against it), and told the best stories. She can't read or write and she has a son who is 47 years old and has never drank or smoked before. I like her for being ignorant and accidentally funny.



We are almost in Montreal. YAY! Old Yeller is saying how jobs are hard to find. I could not agree more. The sun is out fully now and it's insanely bright. This is a fun train ride.



The black lady offered me candy. I said no but I wish I said yes. Soon I'll be in St. Lambert. I'm hungry again. The sun is so fantastic. It's always a perfect circle, unlike the moon. I like the moon though.



I just smiled at the black lady so I could see her smile. Wow, she is stunning.

When I was little I used to think the train was huge but it feels so small now.



Oh, I have a funny story, Last night I was peeing in one of the train bathrooms and this teenage girl walks in on me. I was embarrassed but it was friggin' hilarious.



We are on a bridge. This feels like Quebec. There are mountains full of trees to my left. There are so many trees it looks like fur. It looks like a lumpy, furry cat. I'm bored. There is a man with a guitar sitting beside the black woman now. He played his guitar last night.There was an announcement, "Live entertainment, guitar on the sky deck". I didn't go. the girl across from me is doing crossword puzzles. She did them for at least eight hours.



I love the train. I get to take it back to Moncton on the 12th. I'm gonna bring more food next time. My stop is in two minutes.



I was in such a rush to get off the train and see my mom I forgot to say goodbye to the black lady, the lady across from me, the guitar man, the creaky shoed old man, the old woman and Old Yeller. Oh well. I'm sure they will understand.


Until next time, Ciao.

Sillabub and Jemima brownies

I practiced doing cat makeup. I didn't do so well but at least I tried. I'm gonna try again soon. I need more face paint though and a better black eyeliner.
My train to Montreal leaves in five hours and I still have no clue how I'm getting to the train station. I'm excited.
I just made brownies and not to brag or anything but, they are pretty spectacular.
I still don't understand my part in cats. Whatever it is, I'm sure I will enjoy myself.
Until next time, Ciao.
