Well, well, our show Centre Shift is creeping up - May 18th is the first show! ‘Tis the season of working you ass off... I like this season... minus school. Speaking of school - I MISS EVERYONE AT ESA!!!!! To my knowledge, no one at esa reads my lj, but I just had to say it - just incase.

For some reason I’m in a Gizoogle mood, and here are some of my favorites:

I especially like:: “Canadian Children's Dance Theatre was founded in Toronto in 1980 by Deborah Lundmark n Michael de Coninck Smith, drug deala a mandate ta promote tha ...” hahaha Gizoogle is so entertaining.

Unfortunately I haven’t been following much of playoffs, mainly because the Leafs didn’t make it. I’m still mourning by the way. So I think I’m just going to tune in at semi finals, where hopefully many Toronto fans will be in support of Calgary winning the cup. Edmonton is putting up a fight, and are surprisingly playing very well... and same ottawa and montreal - but they are a different story. By now, I’m sure hockey and non-hockey fans are aware that the organization is headed toward the ground unless someone steps in fast! Disappointing, but very VERY true.

Well I have to get to sleep for some shopping tomorrow, than dance, and then hopefully a late night with friends. I’m excited for the clothing swap tomorrow!!! And scared for Shasha’s, but what can you do? Until another one of my abnormally long updates,
Have Fun!

ps: does anyone find it creepy that when you write "Location" people can automatically find a map of where you are!!??!!
pps: The picture is where we sat EVERYday for lunch... it's beside a door, near the caf, in a hallway, and on a slant - so many things got spilt. I haven't spilt anything at my new school.. =(

Hello over there!
Wow, is this ever going to be a long and long overdue update.

Well school is back in (not so fun), but march break was fun - after I recovered from being sick for 5 days. The highlight was by far when we went to the spa! I never knew my aunt was so incredibly funny, for example; when she used the one pound weights while everyone else in the class was using five pounds. Our pilate's teacher was also really good (along with the rest of the staff). I can't imagine teaching a class where everyone is at different levels... then again that's like all classes. Either way, it was a lot of fun.

March has gone by so fast I feel like I missed it. But I'm happy that I feel more motivated to do school work. My brother got into Western! Which I'm truly thrilled about. He deserves to go to whichever university he has applied for, he has a lot of potential. When I saw how happy he was, it really made me wish I was at the same stage in my life - going off to university, but not yet! I still have two work-filled years ahead of me... woot. But when my time does come, I hope I choose the right road. At the moment, I have NO IDEA what direction that will be. All I can do for the moment is keep my options open by getting good grades. It's sort of upsetting that I don't want to be a dancer when I grow up - I've spent so much time doing it! It has definitely not been a waste of time however. I have made the conclusion, that when I stop dancing, I'm going to become very obese. The lack of exercise is going to catch up to me, and the fact that I love food and not sleep.



Though I did not watch much of the hockey game last night - the parts I did, were incredible! The leafs are so inconsistent, but when they are on - I can think off nothing more satisfying than watching them play! They had some nice plays last night, despite the rough reffing calls... those were horrible. But when I was not watching that, I was watch the World Figure Skating Championships!!! There were some amazing programs! And yes, I was very disappointed by Jeffrey Buttle's skate - however, I'm sure he's exhausted. Evan Lysechek (sp?) seems to be going through hell! For everyone who understands what I'm talking about - he's my idol, and for those who did competition's, he has mastered "mind over matter".

Well well - I'm going to drag my lazy ass to dance now. Until later,

Goodbye!

Hey Everyone!
Well I can't do homework!!! It's been a re-occurring problem lately so I've devised this solution. In order to get some work done, I'll get some things off my chest first. If it works, anticipate a small novel each evening, and if it doesn't consider this my last post of this month. I just polished off a large coffee around 4pm (and one in the morning). A little pick me up, aka the kiss-of-death come bedtime. Then again, as usual, I'm not going to get to bed at a reasonable time tonight. My science teacher Doug began to yell at Dan during the middle of our card game... yet Nora and I managed to stay unnoticed...? I have no idea why he burst at Dan and not us, but now I know whats to come if I don't hand in this case study (Do Moose Need Wolves? - highly interesting..*sarcasm*)

I've managed to find the outskirts of my place in modern class. I still feel a little shaky wondering when the next moment my back will create an uproar and snap in half, but my love for ballet is on a low note. Well, it's not that I don't enjoy ballet - I simply despise RAD. In which case, I'm so crushed that Ballet Bob will not be teaching wednesday ballet class as regularly!

However, I had a great day! It was one of those simple days that are fairly normal, but relaxing. Despite the over-load in homework, I managed to not think about it until 8pm. Some would think that's not a good thing, but I decided it was beyond my capability to bring myself to do work. It would have been nice to have that extra hour that was spent in the auditorium. Interact always has to sit at the back, but a couple of weeks ago we somehow snatched the first three rows of the second section! (It was because we had come to see an INTERACT play). The play was really inspiring and I give a lot of credit to Mazine and Noah. Well today we got those same spots (thanks to Doug), but this time I wasn't extremely excited. This meant that we were closer to the stage... in which case we were closer to the speakers. Flow 93.5 came to our school to advertise their station. They made up a lame excuse and told the audience it was for "black history month." It truly was not. I learned nothing except that Flow is quite oblivious on how to engage high school students. This made media class even more entertaining than usual. What Flow had done for Vaughan tied in perfectly with what we had talked about in a previous class. Dirk is honestly an amazing teacher! Though intimadating at first, he really treats students like equals in the sense that he doesn't talk down to them. I feel that I've learnt more in his class than my grade 8 classes put together. I cannot wait to have him for more grade 11 courses!

As for saturday night, I had so much fun! It was so nice to see everyone from ESA again, even if I wasn't close friends with them to begin with. And of course when Lilly and I got home - I had a case of the giggles and could not contain my laughter. I thought for sure I had waken up the household... but I didn't. So now Zoe has an extremely entertaining message on her cell phone.

OLYMPICS:

I haven't been watching as much now that men's figure skating is over (I'm still grinning over Buttle's bronze). But I am so pleased with how far women's hockey has come! The canadian women's team looks so secure on the ice - it's just really nice to see. Even though I was planning to watch mainly men's hockey, I have only watched one full game! One: because I haven't had much time, and two: it's really not as interesting as I thought it would be. But semi-finals are lurking just around the corner, and hopefully Canada will win a well earned gold. Team Canada is in fifth place in terms of metal count. They have 17! While first place Germany has 22. At the moment, Canadian figure skater Joannie Rochette is in 9th place, that is another thing I haven't been able to watch. Does anyone know if you can buy dvd's that are of the olympic winter games from rogers, blockbuster, etc?


I'm so excited for Yukon next year - even if it's a year away!!
CANNOT wait for Frankie blackmail to fall through ;) tash!!!

Well I could babble on and on, but I really should get my lazy ass to do some work, considering if I start now I won't be finished until 2am. **But I get to sleep in an extra hour - right on!!**

Cheers!

PS So happy with the new layout... still not satisfied - but it's getting there!
PPS TO GWEN: how do I make the words go around the picture? I'm asking you because I have a feeling you'll know.

Well... I lost ONE skate gaurd, hence the title. But skating was blast!! (my triple quad is almost ready for everyone to drool over). And why do ALL starbucks in toronto close incerdibly early!? And what is it about this week that seems to be bring people's spirits up? Ugh... it's so much fun!! I'm so tired from school, lack of sleep, dancing, skating, walking ... and eating most of the vending machine today... so I'm not really in the mood for lj, but here's my top 10 stuff:

1. Laughing till it hurts
2. Turning up bad music and dancing.
3. Knowing a song so well that you can sing along to every part, including the back round singers. (not a song like call on me that only says "call on me" - THAT'S A GIVEN)
4. Watching sports on TV - they make me get up and become more active.
5. The feeling of being taller after physio
6. That moment where you realize you have just changed your outlook on life.
7. Knowing a person so well that kissing becomes as normal as saying "hi"
8. When things go so well you pinch yourself to see if your sleeping.
9. When your so excited that you feel tension in your chest because you think your heart might burst.
10. AND OF COURSE: Not being able to go to bed after you feel you've lived that one day to it's fullest. No matter how exausted you are, there's this crazy happiness keeping you up.

'Tis the season for winter olympics! If anyone has been watching them (which it is only the second day) but they are really exciting aren't they?! If you have not - then I suggest popcorn and some serious couch potatoing for the next couple of days. I cannot believe the incredible women's hockey team! you go girls. Final score was 16-0 Canada against Italy. During the normal season for women's hockey, I'm sure they would have backed off a bit and showed some sympathy - but in the olympics - every goal counts! So when they play tomorrow (USA I think.. am I right?) they will have a 10 point advantage because today USA got 6 points. GO CANADA!

I also watched the pairs figure skating of course, and I LOVED the russians! I forget their names, but supposedly everyone loves them - well they're in first right now, and I think they deserve gold. Wow, they were really inspiring... I think I might buy figure skates.

I'm just so excited because . . . my parents said they would try and help me get a job in vancouver for the olympics in 2010! I'll be 20 then - so hopefully I'll be well into university, and in that case it would be extrememly hard for me to skip 2 - 3 weeks, so they said I should go for the last week to see the ending ceremony and the men's hockey team. Plus the trailing figure skating! I'm going to get started this year in trying to orginize it - the sooner the better. I would hate to see myself in 4 years trying to find the money to go, and not being able to. I just wonder who I'll end up going with - anyone want to think that far ahead? Wow, 4 years doesn't sound far at all, but "20 years of age" sounds like a decade from now. Hopefully by then I'll still be playing 10 fingures - I don't want to boring. I'm so scared to about not living life to its fullest. What if I lose my sense of adventure?

Oh god. If you read my lj, please don't ever let me be boring. But boring is different from being tired! I just mean in general. Well I should climb the rest of my homework mountain.

*** AND THE LEAFS LOST TONIGHT.. they stink - i'm rooting for carolina now... man they are goooood. haha. The penalty box is the leafs enemy... it's so sad to go on break this way. EVEN if they did make it into the playoffs (not in at the rate their going) but they wouldn't be able to make it past the first round. Sorry leaf fans - this is not our year.***

Last night some of us from ccdt went and saw the betrayal project, and I know everyone who saw it has written about it on their lj, but that's because it was INCREDIBLE! I loved the dancing along with all the props that julia sasso used. It was truely a work of art. If I wasn't so brokee, I would probably go see it tonight with Nora - but I am, so she's going with her mom. I told her not to go with her dad and explained the immense amount of nudity and sexual aggression.

At Natasha's, I cut my bangs! I actually really liked cutting my hair. I was so scared at first that I would slip and chop off way to much and I would look like I came across a crash test hair dressser. But I am so happy I listened to tash. (I also had the soundest sleep at her house - and I remembered my dream! I love solid sleeps)

I met up with Nora later on, and we went to ESA.... we told everyone we were just going outside for some air and we would be right back, but we just took off. We honestly couldn't take it anymore.

So hopefully I'm going skating tonight! I haven't been yet this year. And I cannot wait to play squash on saturday!! I have never played before.

The past two days have actually been extremely entertaining (esp. the carm visit.. hehe "rosa")

If I don't post, I will not be able to finish studying, something big is on my mind....

Jovanovski gets abdominal surgery, therefore, if Mccabe recovers from groin tear - HE'S ON TEAM CANADA!!!! I love bryan!

Exams are hell (nothing new) but today I did not wake up knowing that it would be "indoor-rain-day" with my brother. See, once and a while, we have water fights - in the house. Much fun, and is always bugs my mother. It has been since the SUMMER that we have had indoor-rain-day, and I'm not sure I miss it. (NO I DO) I just hate it the time, but it's always nice afterwards. So I had a shower, got all dried and dressed, and THEN had rain-day.... =|...hehehe

Incase anyone did not notice, I joined the "kylewellwoodfan" community (by accident... I was getting totally lost, and then I got an e-mail saying I joined) but I am totally glad I did because he scored tonight and I screamed. I don't usually scream out of joy or fear - so it ment a lot to me. The goal wasn't very nice, but it still counts!

I cannot wait for the oympics
or a hair cut
or watching mccabe skate
or the next game for that matter
.... first I must think about getting through exams - please god, don't let me fail.

GOODNIGHT TORONTO I LOVE YOU!

*and jazz - bffaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaea* OFPH ***your only a DAAAAAYYY AAAAA---aaaa WWWAAAAAAAY***** funniest moment of my ENTIRE life happened with you my dear (and pretty much every extrodinary laughing fit)
