Long Time, No See

Well, I have not posted on this blog in over a year. My life has changed dramatically since then. This is the first time I've even been on blogger in like...multiple months. I suppose maybe I should set things straight before I decided to leave this blog instead of just forgetting about it. If you read this blog from start to finish, you will discover a childish girl who had really no idea what she wanted to do in life and had little value for the little things. Its time to set things straight.
I am going into sophomore year. I have no friends. I am ok with having no friends. I have a serious boyfriend whom I've been dating for over a year named Philip. We are a long distance relationship as he lives in Illinois and I live in Toronto. We met this summer for the first time: most meaningful and precious moment of my life so far. I have never met a person in my life that I have fit so perfectly together with than him. I do not mind falling asleep on Skype or waiting for letters or kissing through a screen because love knows no limits and it certainly does not know distance. I did shit this year in school, having a GPA of 76. I plan to do much better this year as I have much better classes. I plan to go to college or university (preferably university) for English. I've been seriously considering my beliefs and self worth lately. I have decided for myself that I identify myself with the Libertarian Party of Canada. I've been interested in theology a lot lately and learning a lot about the different religions and how science can work together with religion. I know I'm just a teenager but I have the next eight or so years planned out for myself. For those who care: Philip and I plan to see each other twice during this school year (thanksgiving and spring break) and I'm going to Chicago for a week next summer to visit him and he plans to come back home with me and working for my father for the summer. The school year after that, Philip will be 16 and will have his drivers license (I wont be able to get mine until 19 due to Canadian laws) so he will be able to drive up here multiple times in the school year and stay for the summer. Same with senior year. As soon as we are both accepted to a post secondary school (he plans to move here for schooling), we either plan to move in together or plan to live together in my parents house until we graduate. We also plan to get married at town hall at 19 or 20, then have the wedding later when we have more money. And that's how I see my life right now.

Making The Year Book!

It's a really long story that, amongst all things, includes:
a dilemma
two passionate students (one more so than the other)
a bitchy principal
a good willed teacher
a year book
and quite alot of thievery xD
lmao, just kidding about the last one (Book Thief reference ;P)
but yeah our dumbass kraut principal (sorry I dont mean to be offensive) decides she doesnt want a year book for such reasons that really are pity. So a friend of mine, my teacher and another student's parent decide to take matters into their own hands with it and they had it to the point where the yearbook would be in colour and would be ready before the grad trip for only $15 (which was less than last year) THEY HAD IT! and all they needed was a simple yes. no money, no time.
And they received a no.
Disgusted, I decided to take it on myself.
If i didnt do it through the school, I could go on with it. So thats what I'm doing. Along with the original guy who started it, we're making the yearbook! I mean, whats the principal gonna do? suspend us? on the second last week of school? for doing what? making a yearbook that we receive absolutely no profits from?
exactly.
this is totally unlike me but I figured it was time I did something that would surprise people. I'm more than just a music loving introvert.

Grounded

Yeaaaahhhhh. So, as you can tell, I got grounded. It's quite ironic because I used to get banned from electronics and now I just get grounded from the outside xD But I am beyond screwed at the moment. I mean, things look so bad xD I'll explain:
So yesterday, I was out with my friends and hanging out at one of their houses after words. Now this happens to be my boyfriends house. I was supposed to go home at 8:00. I wasnt looking at the time, I was looking out the window instead to judge the time. Obviously, since it's slowly turning into summer, that really threw me off. By the time I got around to checking the time, it was 9:10! So, (because my parents are paranoid) I'm not aloud to walk home after dark. So I had to call my mom to pick me up.
That did not go well.
For a lack of better words, she was pissed.
After we got home, the parentals gave me the lecture but I managed to shorten my grounding and all was pretty good. Then I noticed my wallet wasnt in my pocket and I must've forgotten it at my boyfriends house.
So, this morning he calls to tell me he found it but my mom picks up the phone. Just as I run into the room, I hear their conversation.
Bf: I found her wallet. I'll give it to her on Monday.
Mom: where was it?
Bf: under the bed
Mom: O.o under the what?
I KNOW it looks bad but it really isnt what it seems like xD Let me explain. While we were downstairs, throwing skittles at each other and making crued remarks while watching Braveheart (hey, we can be mature when we want!) one of my friends got the idea to make a really big lego tower then knock it down. So we went upstairs cuz he had lego in his room but we ended up playing Call Of Duty instead xD I got a little bored after a while so I went under the bed and found a bunch of lego. I spent the rest of the night under the bed and tickling my boyfriends legs with lego men xD
So thats what I tried telling my mother (only i left the leg tickling out! xD) and well...she doesnt believe me xD I told you it sounds bad! So I'm grounded till this Friday. And that is the end of this post ;D

Why The Book Thief Should Become A Movie

Because I want to see Liesel kiss Rudy's dead lips in the rubble of a tarnished and destroyed Himmel Street.

Well maybe thats just one of the reasons. I've been reading The Book Thief since March and I finished it just this week (if I had more time to read, I would've finished it sooner). It's such a poignant and moving story, I will admit that I literally shed a few tears at the end. Mainly because of the multiple times Rudy had asked Liesel for a kiss towards the beginning and she'd tease him, saying no, yet towards the end, she really did want to kiss him but never brought up the nerve. There were two scenes in particular that she had the urge. My favourite one:

I wrote a fan fiction called Kiss Him, Liesel, Kiss Him which is a continuation from this scene. Instead of Liesel helping Rudy off the floor...something else happens ;P But I also wrote a free style poem about them. I dont know what it is, they just seem like two people who were torn apart by death while secretly in love who, I think, should've kissed before Rudy died. I mean, the ending could make anyone cry. I dont mean to be a spoiler but this is what happens:

Liesel is writing in the basement when there is an air raid and the sirens fail to sound and EVERYONE including Liesel's parents, her neighbours and Rudy and everyone on her street die from the bombs. The rescuers find her in the rubble of her house, she was saved since she was in the basement. She then discovers that everyone is dead, she finds Rudy in the rubble (Rudy is her best friend, neighbour and its obvious that by now -the books goes on for about 4 years- she's fallen in love with him as he's always been in love with her but they never mentioned it, the closest they came was Rudy asking her for a kiss. So...it's incredibly sad, this is what happens when she finds him: She cries:

"Rudy, wake up…wake up, Rudy. Rudy, please. Rudy, please, wake up. Damn it, wake up. I love you. Come on, Rudy, Come on, Jesse Owens, don’t you know I love you, wake up,wake up,wake up…”

Yes :( and then she kisses his dead body in the rubble.

You know, it kills me how sad it is and it just kills me how the author didnt make them kiss at the times that they should've, but then again, the ending wouldn't of been so romantic if they'd already of kissed.

ANYWAY, i did read that the rights for the book to become a movie are in the process but heres the thing: they better not choose someone ugly (arent I nice?) or annoying to play Liesel. I almost always hate female characters because they always seem annoying to me but I actually liked Liesel. and they better choose someone perfect for Rudy or else my imagination will be ruined along with his character.

Its kinda like The Outsiders, but i think they chose perfect casting for the roles. But if they did make a movie out  of The Book Thief, theres one thing I know that would really piss me off. Often, characters in movies will have different features than the characters in the books. Like one in the book will have blue eyes and the one in the movie will have green eyes. In The Book Thief, Rudy's lemon coloured hair is a HUGE part of his character, his hair colour is mentioned probably twenty times in the book.It would piss me off so much if the Rudy in the move

HAD

BROWN

HAIR.

With that being said, my fingers are really tired and your eyes are probably tired too. If you havent read The Book Thief, I suggest you do, its beautiful.

What'd You Expect Me To Do?

So, I was taking a bike ride today as I like to do when it gets hot and it got up to 90*F today so I went out. Also, I got that new bike I was telling you guys about so it was fun after having the same bike for 7 years xP
So I went all around my neighbour hood and up into others. I actually went up this huge ass hill which just wiped me right out. I went for around an hour and then went again at nigh after we set off fireworks in the park for Victoria Day!
On my day time ride, one street was pretty busy so I took the side walk.While I was riding on the side walk, I ran over someone's water hose and they yelled at me to watch where I was going. In real life, I just went on riding but in my head, I wanted to skid my bike to a stop, turn back at her and say (profanity alert) "Honestly, bitch? It was on the fucking sidewalk. What'd you expect me to do, stop and lift up the fucking bike?" xD
Yep,so thats all I've got to say. OH I went to see The Avengers on friday night with friends for the second time xD it was that amazing.I mean, I'd pay to see Captain America twice ;D
you know, I actually heard they're making a second Captain America. Lucky for me ;P

Putting On A Production

So I dont know if I told you guys but since October, I've been involved in our school musical which was High School Musical (yeah its not the best play but it was fun) and just this week was the production! Now, I've never really been in a play. Sure I've been in the average class skit but this play was so amazing! We did productions Tuesday during school, Wednesday night and Thursday night! There was one main set at the back of the stage that was painted to be a gym then the stage actually went out a little into the audience and there were two risers, one to the left and to the right. One had a set that was painted to be some lockers and the other was painted to look like a class room and then you could turn it into a rooftop garden. Now, in the play, I had two characters. I played Coach Bolton (yeah i know its a dude. So what, i just put my hair under a hat) and also a skater when we did Stick To The Status Quo. So i had to change backstage inbetween scenes behind the main set because there were nails sticking out of the wood at the back (it was supported by wooden planks) that we hung our costumes on with hangers.
Anway, I'm a little sad now cuz it's all over. I never knew how much fun a play could be :)


Yeah thats supposed to be Coach Bolton from the movie xD The audience was probably like "woah coch bolton sounds like a girl"xD cuz I had to yell alot for my lines. Thank God I'm Greek xD


Aaaaand those are the skaters xP
i wish I had photos of our actual performances. I do have a photo of me as Coach Bolton but its on my ipod. Oh well.

Gotta Love C.Thomas Howell

I dont mean to sound immature here but...yum :3

Honestly, I dont want to sound like a fan girl here but seriously........YUM! haha, This guy right here is C.Thomas Howell, on what looks like, the set of A Tiger's Tale. Which, if you ask me, is more like A COUGAR'S Tale but I still watched it two times through xP So, here he's about 21 which is 1987, one year after The Hitcher was filmed and four years after The Outsiders was filmed. Which is quite ironic, considering he was supposed to be 14 in The Outsiders (people say he was 16 when he filmed it but I did some research, and since he was born in December of '66, he'd still only be 15 when he filmed The Outsiders which is only one year older than Ponyboy, his character. And that means he was only 19 when he filmed The Hitcher, not 20 and he was probably around 21 when he filmed A Tiger's Tale or, possibly, still 20.) God, I DO sound like a fan girl! xD But it's all in good fun, dont worry. I'm not going to turn into one of those crazed Justin Bieber type fans who go crazy and bake a cake for his freakin birthday and decorate their walls with his face and go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and ON!

About how much they love him.

But, I will confess, I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally like C.Thomas Howell xD I've seen 6 of his movies (The Outsiders, Soul Man, The Hitcher, A Tiger's Tale, Red Dawn, and That Night) {I would've watched Grandview USA but I REALLY hate Jamie Lee Curtis who is in it and also, I saw a scene of it on youtube which mentally scarred me for life} and I've seen his appearances on ER and Criminal Minds and this one tv show from the late 70's or early 80's when he was just 12 or 13, i forget what its called. Its a family-type show that only ran for a couple episodes but it was sweet.

ANYWAY, I'm babbling and I know it. I've probably flooded your mind, with all things C.Thomas Howell, but hey, you gotta love 'im ;) 

MineCraft

If you've been reading my posts for a while now, you'll know that I'm not big on video games. I used to be, a while back but they were games like Mario and such games for the DSi. And, in the present, the only video games I really play are Rockband and some game apps on my ipod.
So I got quite a shock when I got MineCraft on the weekend. I'd heard people talking about it so I decided to get it but, honselty, it doesnt make any sense! I tried to get my friends to help me but all they did was kill sheep xD But seriously, its just a bunch of blocks and your supposed to build something. But HOW? I need help xD anyway, If anyone knows how to play it, please help me xD Or i might just get help from my video game obsessed friend. He wasnt at school today so I had to settle for my other friends but tomorrow, I swear,he's helping me play MineCraft!

Happy Easter!

Yeah, it's a day late but whatever, Happy Easter!!!
Sooooooo, I hope everyone had a good four day weekend, I enjoyed the time off. I spent my time writing alot but y'know, it was fun. It always is, I can always entertain myself by writing. So, for Easter, I visited my grandma and step grandpa, went pretty well. The weather was pretty good so we sat outside for a while and road some of our bikes around. Since I've had my bike for about 7 years, I've been thinking on getting a new one. I was looking around and I saw one, I loved the style alot. Mostly cuz I have a retro soul but its cool either way ;)
 
It looks kinda like this one but the tires are a bit wider and its silver and white, not red. I wont be buying that one though because of the price but I'd like to get one that looks like that. Haha, man, i was definitely born in the wrong decade xD

Last Day Of March

Yes, it came very fast. Not sure what to say about it though. March wasn't an overly great month, there was some struggles. I'd say spring break was the only outstanding event. But March has always been sort of a down month for me, I have no idea why. For the past 3 or 4 years now, March has been a dull month, one that alot of unpleasant events take place in. Mostly with friends and school. It's funny how I remember things from 4 years ago so clearly. School year of 2008/2009 was a very memorable one I guess. thats when I moved back to my old school. Like, I went to the same school from JK until grade 3, then I went to this other school for grade 4. But I couldnt go again the next year because they cancelled the bus and the school was two cities away. So then I had to move back to my old school for grade 5. And I guess I remember alot of that year because I made all of these new friends and there was ALOT of drama with them. I mean, when you're hanging out with three guys and a two girls, there shouldn't be that much drama! But there was. ANYWAY, that was kinda a depressing year. Cuz do you ever look back on your past and think "Wow, I was so stupid" ?
