It's Christmas and I'm boring you.

So lot's has happened since Friday night and none of them have been good! (YES WIN WIN WIN! not.) I forgot my bari mouth piece at school and I had a gig on Saturday so I had to borrow Jeremy Kent's.

A note about Mr. Kent. I find him revolting in every sense of the word. He smokes, He has an ego larger than the solar system and his voice bothers me. There are few people I like less that Mr. Kent.

It was an unpleasent experince. It would have been nearly as unpleasent if I had of had my own mouth piece. The rest of my band and I were stuck in a closet like room for over two hours. Twenty kids in a small room for extended period of time is a great idea. Good thing? I made some new friends (Christopher, Mitchell, and Stephen) and I planned the potluck (which is going to be off the hook!). Bad thing? gross people touched me and I found out who annoys the pants off me.

When I got around to the planning part of the potluck I had to add a whole bunch of people on facebook so I could actually tell them what was going on and when and where it would be occurring. Me and Stephen had a great conversation! And then I brutally murdered it and I don't think he's ever going to talk to me again. EVAR. Apparently I'm pretty good at that. People always tell me I am. It's very unhappy making.

On another superfun note! I get really stressed at this time of the year because I don't have any free time in the run of the week and then I break and sleep stright for 15 hours (or more) and feel better but still waaay overwhelmed. So yesterday when I got home at four (Which hadn't happened in a week) I crashed really hard. By that I mean my mother thought I was drugged because you couldn't wake me up. Two and a half hours later I regain my wakefulness, ate pizza, watched Glee and went back to sleep and slept til ten. Guess who didn't go to school today? Yea? I had a lab due today. I still haven't done it. I just don't see the point in working anymore. I'm to the point that even thinking about everything that I need to get done before Christmas turns me into a blubbering fool that sits in the corner and whimpers. It's dumb.

At least I have the potluck to look forward to?

It's Christmas and I'm boring you.

More things to complain about.

After I get over the fact that no one cares about what I write I would really like to do more with this pathetic excuse for a blog. I always read Jess Loves Fred (and you should too because she is awesome and lovely) and think about how much I wish I could be like her (By that I mean cute, funny and charismatic). But instead I'm suck with this thing that is dripping with sarcastic remarks and things that I just generally don't like.

Anyways.

Today I'm feeling inspired to share something interesting about myself and my day so here goes nothing. Today was actually pretty lovely after I get over the fact that I didn't get to do my presentation on the lovely Chopin.

Isn't he lovely? I had it all planed out and I made a lovely powerpoint for it on my mac with a video of me playing The Minute Waltz but apparently it's "uncompilable" with the school computers. It blowed. Then the rest of the day went by and it was pretty fun. I drove my friend home and apperently I'm a hard person to talk to because I change the subject so often "I love you, but you're really hard to talk to. You get distracted way too easily". That sounds like an awful lot of love to me! 

Tonight I went to a lovely concert. It was really lovely in ever sense of the word (Lovely is my word of the week. Isn't it wonderful?) I went to see Pentaedre, a wind quintet (oboe, flute, clarinet, french horn and bassoon. Great combo). It was amazing and I had a great time.

In between all this exciting stuff I spent a great deal of my time browsing the internet looking for cool things to occupy my time with. Seeing as though stumbleupon never fails I started there and ended up at Vice (surprise surprise), 8tracks, shuffler (which is actually really awesome) and BOOOOOOOM! where I found lots of nice pictures for my tumblr like this:

 and this:

and this:

And this!:

I guess the long and short of this horrible mess is that I'm going to try harder to work at actually doing something on here (even if it's always stupid) and I give you permission to spam my inbox with hateful mail if I do not. <3

Day 26: 10 responsibilities that I have are...

Wooo! RESPONSIBILITIES!

1.) HOMEWORK! gotta get it all done every night! (it's what makes caffeine necessary)

2.) Good grades! That come from doing said homework. These will hopefully help me get into a university of my choosing. Gotta work hard!

3.) Keep my room walk-in-able. I have a horrible habit of piling clean clothes on chairs and then looking for things and having all the clean clothes fall over onto the floor and then get kicked around in my morning stumbles and then presto chango! you cannot move in my room in the dark unless you are me.

4.) Vaccum room after said mess is cleaned up. It happens about once a week or so. I feel better when everything is tidy.

5.) Keep those fish a swimming. This involves feed and cleaning and changing lightbulbs and filters. It doesn't always work out but the two I have left seem content with their tank life.

6.) Doing the dinner dishes. I only do them on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday because I'm busy other days and sometimes if I have a lot of work my rents will do them during the week which is why I had to take on another responsibility

7.)  Laundry. It was either that or cleaning the bathroom. What one would you choose?

8.) Practicing my Piano. If I don't not only do I feel guilty but I don't get better. It's a lose lose situation.

9.) Practice sax. This happens next to NEVER.

10.) umm....be...polite? ...???

Day 25: 10 special people in my life are...

This is super easy

1.) My best friend Amanda

2.) Dresden... I suppose

3.) My Brother (I love him dearly)

4.) My Father (because he's super awesome and got a super cool new car and is going to let me drive it <3)

5.) Ms. D, my band teacher. She might be the most lovely person on the face of the planet. I'm going to miss her a lot next year.

6.) Ms Corbin. She is another one of my band teachers. I've known her since I was....it's been a long time.

7.) Karen. She's been my piano teacher for the past 4 or 5 years. She made me love music again and want to play (previously I had had a horrible teacher who I didn't like at all and I was going to quit piano.)

8.) Mrs Paddock is another one of my band teachers who has made a lasting impression on my life. She's connected me with other people who share similar views to mine. I will be forever great full that she has played a part in my life.

9.) Mr. Forde. Surprise surprise another band teacher. I had him for two years in grade eight and grade nine but I still see him once or twice a week. He keeps on calling me different names (luckily I out grew baby tuna) and he still hits me on the head. Good times.

10.) As much as we don't see eye to eye my mother does hold a special place in my heart I suppose.

needless to say that when I leave the lovely public school system I will miss all of the teachers and when I have to move away I will be heartbroken from leaving Karen but I'm really glad that they've been here for me. I don't know what I'd do without any of them (though I'm learning to live without Dresden). I'm really grateful that they're all part of my life.


I feeling really sentimental right now :/

Day 24: 10 great daydreams are...

So, basically my day dreams consist of meeting people I'll never meet, going to concerts, flying and being generally accepted. Top ten? We'll see how far this gets....

1.) One of my personal favourite daydreams is about flying. I've had a facination with wings and birds since I was really little and I've always wanted to grow a pair of wings for myself. In fact that is one of my secret wishes. For one pair of large white feathered wings (There's more description in the actual wish including exact placement on my back and how they are to look because if you don't give the wish granter enough information and tell them exactly what you want then they're going to mess it up and you'll be totally unhappy with everything).

2.) That a guy in one of my classes would actually notice me. This daydream is super generic and comes true about once a week. I mostly only dream about this is said class but whatever. The hopeless are always hopeful right?

3.) That I won't fail Pre Calculus. I guess this isn't so much of a daydream as it is a goal but every time I walk into that class I get this feeling that I'm failing and spend the rest of the class fantasizing about passing. I'm super cool >.>

4.) To go on a road trip across Canada. I blame one week for this daydream. I believe I've watched it one too many times. Then again I've always wanted to do this because I think Canada is a beautiful country and I really want to see more of it. But whatever.

5.) That I'll do super duper well in uni and become a doctor. Oh what my head can come up with.

6.) That I'll live out the rest of my days in Cali or somewhere in England. There's a soft spot in my heart for both of them and I don't really care what one it is. I just really want to live there....even if it's only for a short time.

5.) I have this daydream where I go and visit Ben in Barrie and he hates me and his girlfriend kills me. It's absolutely lovely.

6.) Similar daydreams have been though up about several other people.

7.) I have on dream where I destroy half the people in my school. It's great because I don't have to deal with people who are really annoying or idiots but bad because I'm a pacifist and I would never do anything like that.

8.) That I'll actually get married and not become a crazy cat lady. I don't know how many of you watch The Big Bang Theory but if you do remember when Sheldon bought the 28 cats? That's what I'm going to be like someday. Unfortunate eh?

9.) I have a lot of daydreams about meeting Darwin Deez. He is a lovely man.

10.) ummm...The only other one I can think of right now is about going to concerts and stuff like that. It's alright I suppose.

lame? yes? no?

Day 20: 10 good books that I have read are...

As you can imagin this list is very very very hard for me to do because I've read so many good books. Check out the other blog for other blog necessary for your survival.

1.) The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind.

2.) Going Bovine by Libba Bray

3.) The Gemma Doyle Trilogy by Libba Bray

4.) Anything by Dan Brown

5.) The Giver by Lois Lowry

6.) Anything by Tamora Pierce (espically Tricksters Choice and Tricksters Queen)

7.) Harry Potter, need I say more?

8.) Narnia

9.) LORD OF THE RINGS

10.) The Book Of Flying by Keith Miller. I read this....5 years ago and it's still one of the best books I've ever read. I've been meaning to reread it but haven't had a chance to yet. SO GOOD.

Day 19: 10 things that I hope happen within the next year are...

This list is going to be super lame. I can just smell it..

1.) To make it into Uni! (its really important to me)

2.) Get a job. I need money

3.) Go on a road trip

4.) Pass calculus.

5.) Fall in love

6.) Don't kill anything

7.) Get more fish so intrepid and no name aren't lonely.

8.) Make some new friends

9.) Stick with this blog and the new web show I might be in.

10.) Finish my footie Pajamas.

Day 18: 10 beautiful things outside are...

So obvs this list is going to be ridiculus. Just thought you should know that to give you a chance to stop reading.

1.) CANADA (Obvs had to be the first thing on the list. Canada is outside so it qualifies.)

2.) Nova Scotia (cuz it's the best province)

3.) Shubie Park. Their trees are lovely and their lake is beautiful. It's my second favourite place to take pictures.

4.) Keji Nation Park&Historic Site. Really this one is more beautiful than the last one but I don't get there as much so I thought it should come second. It is a night sky reserve and camp ground. I've being going there since I was two months old (no jokes. The first time I went there was two months after I was born and I've only missed two years since then). The trees are hundreds of years old, the lake is huge and its the best place to watch the meteor showers on the face of the planet (well probably not but it's pretty good.)

5.) The cottage at Pigget Lake. My Aunt and Uncle own it and we go out there three or four times during the summer. It's small and on the lake. They've build a lovely dock that you can jump off of and they have several sailing boats (which is really cool). It's a super nice place to relax with the family.

6.) My back yard. I happen to think that it's a lovely place. We have shade from the trees but not too much. There's several gardens and it's just a nice place to sit back, relax, and forget the rest of the world.

7.) My Grandmothers house. It's again, like mine, only her deck is bigger and when I go I get lemon aide and stories. It's where I grew up and I'll always have a special place in my heart for it.

8.) My Grandparents Garden. In Pictou my grandparents have a few acres of land which they have turned into gardens. If it wasn't so boring there I'd like to visit more often and just hang around in their flowers.

9.) The beach we visit after we get our christmas tree. I can't remember the name...I think it has something to do with clams. but I donno. Anyways, Near the beginning of december when we go cut down our tree we stop at a beach on the way home and watch the waves. It's magical.

10.) Queens Land Beach is the nicest beach in Nova Scotia. It has great waves and the water doesn't make you freeze which is a super nice change from everywhere else.

I guess this list isn't to bad other than the fact that it's horribly bias towards Nova Scotia. What can I say? I live in a beautiful place.

Day 17: 10 things that I love about my family are...

..........

.....

I love my twin Amanda because...she's cool?

I like my brother cuz he's insane

As much as I like to deny it I cry way to much. It rather sad.

1.) The events that happened 6 years ago. If you don't know it's not important. If you do know...well...you know.

2.) My pathetic excuse for an existance.

3.) The books I read. When my favourite characters die I am crushed. When my favourite character gets dumped I cry. Basically, books make me an emotional mess.

4.) The people in my English class. Their lack of knowledge hurts my heart more than anything.

5.) When I argue with my two best friends. It's really quite sad and we almost always say "this isn't working out to well..." wait a few days and then everything is back to the way it was in the beginning.

6.) When Dresden calls me out for doing stupid things. I mean, I know they're stupid and I already feel bad but then he lectures me on why they're bad. It hurts.

7.) Some movies. Like Breakfast at Tiffany's, One Week, Wall-e, UP, One Week, The Young Victoria, basically every movie that I watch. The worst one so far has been The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. 2 hours of water works. It was horrible.

8.) My allergies. It's not the sad sorta crying it's the "my eyes won't stop watering" sorta crying.

9.) My nightmares. They're terrifying and everyone always dies. It's rather depressing.

10.) The state of our environment. I mean, I don't actually cry about it but I can't think of anything else I can put on this list so... (y)

A Story Of My Average Tuesday!

So! Tuesday is day 2 (we work on a four day schedule at my school. Monday is always day one (ABCD), Tuesday day two (BADC), Wednesday day three (DCBA), Thursday day four (CDAB)and Friday rotates. It makes zero sense but whatevski) which means my day goes Pre Calculus (B block), Chemistry (A block), Lunch, English (D block) and Off Block (C block)! I love having off last. It's way better than having it first (because I'm in band I only have off every second day which means I only ever have it first and last. It's pretty sweet.). Other than the fact that I start the day with PreCal (it's totally mind crippling) it's my favourite day of the week. I have English last and I get to hang around and do nothing afterwards.

On a normal Tuesday, I'd stay at school during off because I have Brass Ensemble after school (I'm trying to learn how to play trumpet. It's...interesting...) but I was feeling sick so Ms. D (My band teacher. She's great. :D) let me go home instead. I got a drive from my friend Catherine. Her mum came and got us. It was pretty sweet because we didn't have to wait for the 10 to come.When I got home I ate some Cocoa Puffs (because they're awesome) and got down to work. I started by making a check list to get everything organized and choose what I wanted to work on first.

I started by doing my chem lab because I really don't want to fail that (it would be devestating) and then I had to go pick up the van from my dads work. Of course, me being the person that I am, I had to procrastinate about doing the chem lab so the list grew a little longer...

Then I got back home, ate and had a mini-heart attack about writing my article for the school news paper (it was about band. I might post it later...It depends on whether or not it gets into the paper) and finding pictures or the other articles that are going into this months issue (I'm the photography rep for the paper so I'm in charge of all the pictures that go into it. And the list grew longer..

I wasn't terribly disappointed that the list was growing because everything that I added to it got check off. I felt like I was getting stuff done and I kinda was. Just not some of the things that I should be focusing on *coughcoughprecalcough*. At band I got my bestie Amanda to look over my article and give me back my English essay (she likes to edit and I need my stuff to be edited so she reads it over and we talk about changes I can make. It's really beneficial for both of us.). She really liked them both so when I got home I made a few changes to my essay and sent Mr. Aucoin (the teacher advisor for the news paper) my article. More things got check off.

We went to Tim's on the way home to grab some coffee because I was feeling very decaffeinated and I needed coffee so I could get through the rest of the work that I needed to do. I finished off the night with a rush of math. I got my homework done and *most* of the Independent study done (I say most because I think I did a few questions wrong and I couldn't get number 10. But I'll clear that up tomorrow when I talk to my friends.

4.) Book are the funniest thing of the face of the planet. Harry Potter and the Order of The phoenix? Hilarious.

6.) My pets. Bowser, my dog, is physcotic. It's kinda funny and he's supa kewt. My fish are weird and they're funny to watch when they chase each other around in their tank.

9.) The two fish that I have left. They mean a lot to me.

Day 1: 10 things that make me happy are...

10 things that make me happy? I don't know if they exist.

1.) Piano. It makes me more happy than anything else it the world. It makes everything easier to deal with.

2.) Reading. Reading used to be my vice. I own over 300 books. Sad right?

3.) Old pictures. My memory isn't that great. By that great I mean I don't remember anything ever. To make sure I don't forget anything I hang pictures in my room. kinda geeky right?

4.) Band that are actually good. Different from my guilty pleasure because it's actually, you know, good.

5.) My jackets. They are lovely. And super awesome. ^^

6.) Shoes. All of which are bought from Aldo. Which means that they're cooler than yours (unless you have docs, birks or combat boots.)

7.) Not pants. Pants are uncomfortable and skirts and dresses are so much more comfortable and far more cute.

8.) Sleeping in in the mornings. Sleep is lovely and I don't get a lot.

9.) Coffee. Coffee is the best thing on the face of the planet. It has a lot to do with the lack of sleep.

10.) The internet. It is my life. So very very sad.

What Better To Kill A Social Life Than Homework Everynight.

I thought that my addiction to the internet was holding me back from doing cool fun things with my friends but I didn't realize that that was only the tip of the ice burg. This semester at school I am taking Pre Calculus, Chemistry. English and Band and the amount of homework I am getting on a nightly bases its not so dissimilar to the amount of homework your average IB kid might get. I'm talking about between 2 and 3 hours a night working on things for the next day not to mention the next week (that's what I've been spending the majority of today on. We have to write a compare and contrast essay on "The Closer You Get To Canada The More Things Will Eat Your Horses" by Thomas Cain and "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson at some point this week after we have a class discussion about it on Monday and right now I'm doing the prep work which involves not being able to highlight anything on the page and having to write down every important quote with page and paragraph number so I can reference it later when I go to write it in an essay format.)

So I've been kinda busy lately. When I'm doing homework I'm on msn most of the time just so I don't kill my brain so I still get to talk to my friends but it's been a week since I've actually spent any time with them and I feel rather bad about it because I have to keep saying "No, I can't go out today because I have homework that I need to do". I mean they must feel pretty fustrated that I can never do anything because I'm either broke (I need to get a job) or because I'm too busy thinking I don't understand what to do for my Pre Calculus homework that I can't leave my house until i have a slight understanding of it.

This is a very long way of saying that high school sucks and I hope my work load lightens soon but I highly doubt it. Leave me something to brighten my day? I'd love you forever.

August's Already Done? What?

so apperently it's August 28th. Time Flies. I go back to school on the 2nd. gah. August's been a really busy month. I went camping twice, went to Magic Mountian (not fun when you're allergic to Chlorine.) and picked up my creation from the clay cafe (linkie dink to da tumblr demon)

For the past 8 days I've been in Keji. It was a pretty fun time. I read two books (reviews here), went swimming made some wicked fires, Marty crashed his bike and had to get five stitches, I went to some place had some lovely pasta, bought my friend some cool shit (pictures? Is that what you wanted?), bought another 104 year old book (score) and replaced my faerie mug (pics pics pics pics).

All in all it was a pretty good month but I'm dead tired. I'll activate the links later promise. Ask me questions? Kaythnx.

A Lovely Way To Spend Your Evening.

For those of you who are unaware the Perseid meteor shower was at it's peak tonight. Can you guess what I did? Lay on my lawn for four hours? Starring at the sky? Yes?

Yes, that's what I did. I saw 71 meteors in those four hours and everything was grand, though slightly lonely because no one would watch them with me.

Tell me your meteor shower stories and I'll love you forever.

Crazy Fan Girl? I Think So!

So my weekend was really bogus and really good all in one strange miss mash. I had to deal with my relatives in pictou (long story better not to ask) but I got to see the one band I've always wanted to see live, Sloan.

Half-way through grade 6 I was really getting bored of the music I was listening to and frankly it wasn't that great. My father had always been a fan of sloan and had a lot of their albums and he gave me Twice Removed, their second one. I loved it and then I bought most of their other albums (I have two or three left and two ep and I've got them all) so going to this concert was a big deal for me. I've been waiting half my life for this (They play in a lot of bars and I'm underage so I could never go to see them when they were in town. It sucks.).

It was far better than I could have ever hoped I sang along to almost all the songs, screamed, claped and pretty much acted like a fool. People kept on trying to get in front of me and my brother Martin and for the most part we let them and moved in after them. Eventually a lot of the people that were in thr front left so we ended up being in the second row where I could actually see the whole stage (I'm rather short so with everyone standing in front of me I couldn't see a thing).
The only problem was these two annoying girls who were younger than me and probably older than my brother (they didn't really act it). They didn't know any of the songs, I doubt they really knew who sloan was and their dancing was attrotious. I mean I know my dancing isn't great, that's why I don't dance in public. They made me angry.

I caught a chill because I didn't dress warm enough and it was outside and I was already kinda sick before we left. Now I'm more than just kinda sick. I woke up with a fever, slept half the day and have wished I was sleeping for the rest of it.

Other than the fact that I got sick this weekend has been amazing and I really hope I get to see sloan play again. I really do love those guys.

A Blog About Books On The Blog Not About Book.

So. I have this horrible habit of book shopping. I don't require any more books (I have approximately 318 books right now and I haven't read about 60 of them.). I think I have a problem.

I've always loved reading. Over my lifetime I've probably read close to 2000 books (That's not including books that I've reread. That doesn't happen too often unless it was really really good and then there's a year of buffer zone to let the story line to fade a little. I have a very good memory for plots. I can summarize any book that I've read in the last 16 months very well. If the book is extremely good I can remember everything that happens in it for years afterwards even if I can't remember the titles.). Every Christmas I would always get four or five books. I believe my obsession with purchasing them started when I was in grade primary. I don't know if your school had it but mine had this lovely thing called the book order. Scholastic put out a sort of catalogue once a month with 40 titles in it. Each month the titles were different and you could get a book for about $4 and if you were lucky it came with a small toy that was related to the books. Once a month my parents would shell out around $10 to buy me a few books to read to me and to have me read (at that point I still wasn't the biggest fan of reading because I couldn't read fast enough and I didn't like to do things that took up a lot of time. I'm still very much that way but I've learned more patience and I can stick with things now). Over the years my book collection grew month by month and the books got more expensive and I starting getting a monthly allowance for making my bed and keeping my room tidy. Instead of saving the dollar I got to spend on sweet I would save them and buy books. As my allowance grew so did the buying. My parents started refusing to buy me books claiming I had too many. So I kept saving and kept buying. Christmas and birthdays became some of the best days of the year because there was always the hopes of new books or money to buy them with and my collection grew.

Then I read the Hobbit. I was enthralled when I opened it. I still remember what it looked like. I got it from the library. It was 6th edition with colour illustrations in mint condition. I devoured ever word and picture of that book and it quickly became my favourite. It came time to return that book my heart broke a little. Parting with suck a lovely book just wasn't an option for me. I started pressing my parents for a copy of the 6th edition with the colour illustrations in it. I looked it up on eBay and found a nicely priced one in England. It was the only one that didn't cost an arm and a leg that was in excellent condition. No dice. I was Hobbit-less. I went to the library and found that lovely copy of the 6th edition again only to find it in shambles. I was heart broken that one of the last people to rent that piece of art was so careless with it. I took it back to the library and showed them the damage and told them if they couldn't fix it I would buy it from them (they have a yearly sale. It's not an odd request). They replied simply that it would be sent in for repairs. I left again heavy heartily and Hobbit-less. I was starting to lose hope. I search the used book stores, thrift stores and many other locations for the book but I could never find it. Then two years ago on my birthday I opened a package from my parents and there it was. A 6th edition of the Hobbit with the coloured book sleeve with minimal damage considering how old it was. I quickly leafed through only to find that the illustrations were in black and white but that didn't matter. i had the book that I searched for years for and I couldn't be happier.

That was when I started referring to my books as "my collection". The Hobbit was the joy of my collection and it is still one of them. I started buying more and more books and looking for older ones to make the value of my collection go up. That's when my problem got to where it is today. I'm like a shark that smells blood when I walk into chapters. I see the books and smell the coffee, paper and ink and I get all ruffled and need to buy everything in my line of sight. In the past year I've probably spent well over $600 just on books.

I have a problem. It's not getting better. But with every book I buy I feel a sense of calm knowing that that edition of that book by whatever author with be taken care of and preserved for future generations. People think the age of print is dying. I'm not going to let it.

How Optimistic Are You?//What Animal are you? (I need to spend less time on the interenet >.>)

No, really. How Optimistic Are You?

I got "Scattered Showers"

apperently "My view of life is relatively balanced, but I lean more toward pessimism than optimism. Look on the bright side, though--I think negatively about the short-term but that doesn't seem to affect my view of life in general."


pfft yea right.

"Mountain goat personalities are very much loners. Observing the goings-on from their unique perch, they are consummate voyeurs and when mingling with other terrestrial animal personalities they feel uncomfortable and vulnerable. After brief forays into their world, they must return to their place of security.

Balance is a critical component of a mountain goat's life, and they are moderate in every facet of their behavior. With conservative family values, their politics are middle of the road, and their even-keeled life has similar characteristics to that of their cousin the sheep. However, there's an air of eccentricity about a mountain goat, and this is reflected in their unusually decorated homes.

Nimble of foot and quick of mind, mountain goats are adept at extricating themselves from tricky situations. Usually though, they're responsible for getting into these predicaments in the first place and have a habit of not learning from their mistakes. Although intelligent, they do not have much in the way of street smarts and could be considered naive. This is probably due to a lack of real-world experience.

A creature of gossip, mountain goats subscribe to the rumor mill that includes tabloid magazines and TV shows in an attempt to better understand the world of the terrestrial personalities. They love to watch soap operas and other shows depicting the tumult of human relationships. With this affin-ty for intrigue and gossip, they would make a great movie critics, writers, hairdressers or tabloid journalists.

If you're looking for a scout guide or hiking partner, this sure-footed beast is an ideal choice. However, its talents as a leader are suspect. Because of its solitary existence, it does not have the insight into human behavior that is required for leadership. Mountain goats are not risk takers and need to feel solid ground beneath their feet before making any major decision. Mia Farrow is an exemplary mountain goat who manages to maintain her balance while snakes and rock-falls threaten to dislodge her grip on life."

Yea so I could be a mountain goat. I like moutians and I've always been a fan of goats. What Animal Are You?

??!

that's right. Pure and utter shock. At what you might ask? The fact that people have actually looked at this blog. Flag counter is a blessing and a curse wrapped up in one I-wanna-know-who's-stalking-me page. Gotta thank you guys. I appreciate it or whatever but like...Weird...

Seeing that I suck at this art of writing down useless stuff that no one really cares about I am going to talk about one of my newer obsessions. Glee.

When I first heard about it being the stuck up snob I am I decided that I hated the show and refused to watch it. Then my lovely mother decided to start watching it. Just my luck eh? She had me sit down through one full episode (don't ask me what one...one halfway through the second season) and I saw Sue. That pretty much sealed the deal. If they have someone that crazy in the show it can't be bad and I slowly got sucked in. Where does this woe some tale end you may be wondering. Well, my friends, it ends in my spending my parents lovely money to rent the first season of Glee from our friendly neighbourhood Blockbuster (so much love for that fine establishment.). unfortunately we only got the first four episode and I'm burning through them faster than a flash fire eats through a forest in the south west states. By that I mean I got it today and already watched the first three episodes. This is quite worrisome. I mean I only have one left before I am Glee-less again. How will I survive? Here's a hint: I won't. Any cooping techniques would be greatly appreciate.

That's the state of my new love affair with that lovely box that sits upstairs called the television. Also been watching more Doctor Who than I really should (Space Channel? Win? Well if you don't think so then I'm going to have to beat you up. I mean where can you get Supernatural, Star Trek, Doctor Who and Fringe all in one place? (they have lots of other good shows too I'm just really brain dead right now.))

Anyways...Not much more to say. My life is a bore. Going to paint a plate on Monday. Pictures to follow. :D
