I just like making long lists.

I've finished my application for Redeemer...on the last possible day that it would be free.  I wrote my essays this morning, only to type them into my application to find out that they were to short.  Good job.   This is really happening.  I highly doubt I'll actually go there, it's so expensive.  Crazy.
Today is my Dad's birthday.  I made him cake...it kind of failed.  It for sure is not my best work.
I looked at prom dresses this morning.  That was fun.  I have 13 options right now,  I'm sort of indecisive.  I also like clicking.
Yesterday was Casper's birthday.  I forgot to wish him a happy birthday.  Happy Birthday!
I may possibly not go to school until Thursday.  We're supposed to get a storm on Wednesday  but I think it's going to kind of miss us.  I don't know.  I'm kind of bored.
I've improved the Moi page.  I just like making long lists.  It's at a round number right now, I don't like that.
Have you noticed that most of my post titles are quotes from somewhere in the post?
The SAG's were last night.  Nice and short, but not really worth much.  It was still an award show.

This World

I felt that I needed to post this song.  It's one of my favorites, and it's very true.

I'm sorry I'm so boring.

The storm came, so sadly I didn't get a day to myself.  But also I get next Tuesday off.  Whoo
Youth is tomorrow.  I should read my chapters soon.
The Office was amazing tonight.  So was Bones.  Thursday nights are good, and I don't even get NBC.  If I got NBC it would be 670% better.
I've been watching so much NBC lately.  I wish I got it.  They have the best comedy right now.  Thankfully Canadian channels are nice enough to air some of it, or stream it.
I made roast today,  I'm very proud of it.  My dad said it was amazing.  I topped it with Bacon.  Everything's better with bacon.  I'm sure they've done studies.
I'm so very tired.  I need to stop blogging so late
I'd like to go on a mission trip to Europe.  The ARP teaches English in Germany.
I'm thinking about changing the look of the blog. New header, different background colour.  I did add a new thing to the side.  The Top Eight.  Those are the most read posts of mine.  Why eight?  It seemed like a random but not too random.
Also no one comments anymore.  I'm sorry I'm so boring.  I need to launch into a political rant again.

Joy

"And another thing!  Sir, when I’m the usher and offer you the offering basket please don’t hold up your hand like you pass… like you’re passing on another coffee refill at a diner.  Taking the basket is not optional.  Putting money in the basket is optional… but you have to take the basket.  Touch it.   Just pass it on…. this is how this whole offering thing works.  K.  Thanks.  God bless you."
This is from Joy the Baker.  I love this woman.  I want to eat almost everything on her blog.  There's only been a couple of things when I've said, "Eww I would never eat that"
She makes me laugh so hard.  Also drool.  Someday I will make one of her recipes.
Seriously go read her blog.  It will make you hungry.  Her name above is a link.




P.s.  I feel kind of bad posting an entire paragraph of her post.  I always pick out a section to read to my mom.  This was it.

I'm done

My exams are done.  I didn't have to stay though study hall because the wonderful twins drove me home.  I now have a 5 day break, possibly 6 if we do get the storm that they say we're going to get.

I'm seriously wishing that the election that is threated holds off till June 3rd at the least.

Oscar Nominations are out.  I've started making my predictions.  Toy Story 3 is in best picture?  Um what?  I don't know why they ever upped it to 10?  It makes the margin way too big, you start including random people and leaving out others.  I've always liked the random guy included in nominees for best actor/actress who has no chance of winning, such as Johnny Depp a couple of years ago... against Daniel Day Lewis, really who thought this through?  This year it's James Franco...or Jesse Eisenberg, yes maybe the did a good job, but they're not going to win. But they left out Ryan Gosling?

I love Gene Hackman, just saying.
Also Tina Fey is way funnier than I thought she was.

I should go sleep now.

I pray for peace in Tunisia, may you never return to the dictatorship you lived under for 23 years.  May people who perform such injustices be caught and made to face what they've done.  Why are things like this allowed to continue, why do we always come back to it?  Sin.

Stuck in Study Hall

Thank you to my sister who is using MY blog as her own bulletin board.

I'm done my Pre-cal exam, it was easier than I expected.  I know I did 2 questions wrong.  Maybe a fourth.
I'm writing my Provincial English tomorrow morning.  Goodness.

I was stuck in study hall for 3 hours today.  I nearly froze to death.  But I did get to read Little Women for that time,  I read 80 pages.  Pretty great.  I've never read the book but I've always been in love with the story, now after years and years I'm finally reading it.  I know exactly what's going to happen, how it ends, but there are so many other layers to it.

Someone seriously said to me, me, "What do we need history for" AHHHHHH!!!
I didn't actually say that, but I really really wanted to.  I did say, "Because we need to know what happened so we don't do it again."  People who think and say this are the people who will let things like Rwanda happen again.  I will continue to say this, forever.  We need to know where we've been.

how many questions do i have to study for youth group?

Oxymoron

I'm reading  novels again.  It feels so nice.  Except Louisa May Alcott's father was a communist so...

You have no idea how badly I wish the Liberal-Conservatives existed again in Canada.  I would vote for them for sure.  That's exactly how I sit at this moment.  I actually can't even believe I am saying this, as a couple of years ago I called that an oxymoron.  I am now an oxymoron.  I used to be Conservative to the day I died, now, now I'm not.   It's surreal, being exactly what I was scared of.

I also used to respect George W. Bush.  What was with that?  I actually can't believe that.  I still do say that if 9/11 hadn't happened he would have been as bad, still bad, but not absolutely horrible.

Constant Change

Why did it take me so long?
To finally figure out what I thought, who I wanted to be, that I loved myself.  What I actually loved.
Of course I'm going to progress from here.  Everyone does.   You can't stay in one place.
We have to live in a constant state of motion.
I'd like to say exactly what I'm talking about but the main ideal I'm thinking of would shock many people.  Yet it would bring great happiness to others.
There are things I'm never going to back down on, but other things I've changed.
I should stop dealing in vague terms now.

The essay has been written

I'm done my essay on Communism!!!!
Yes!
I'm really happy about how it turned out.  I got a couple of good digs in on capatalism.
It's 6 pages long.  My English essays are like 3 tops. 
I can't wait to read novels again.  Even I can only take so many weeks of reading political commentaries of Communism.
p.s yes I did make a spelling error in this post title...that what you get for writing an essay for 6 hours.

Barbie Dream House.

The Barbie Dream House.  (Sadly mine lacks total pink, an elevator, or a kitchen that talks to me.)  Everyone has one, this is mine.  Sort of, I like multiple dormers better than just one.

I love, love, love the Craftsman style with the flared stone pillars and porches, with a porch swing,, it makes me feel cozy. 

The inside would have to have a separate dining, living and Kitchen, which would have to be a galley because I don't like cooking with people and need a stable work triangle.  I'd love a library with one of the ladders on wheels.  Also on the wish list a window seat in practically every room, I love them more than anything.  

I love old houses, with creaky floors and wood work and separate poky rooms, and dark halls and fires that smoke (Yes I was basically trying to quote Sense and Sensibility here without looking it up)  I also love living in the country, I didn't figure out how much I loved it until I moved here, now I never want to leave.  I want a garden and chickens and cows and pigs and of course sheep.  I'd absolutely love to be self sustained, as I am a strong anti-capitalist. Never having to buy meat, milk or produce (to an extent) being separate from "the man".  See how I slipped in some politics there?

Maybe some day I'll be living in this house, in the middle of nowhere, blogging about living there, from my library.

This is it, the place I dream of spending forever in.

See though, plans change, times change.  There could always be a nuclear fallout.

p.s.  The posting time is wrong on this.  I actually wrote it last night and then did set post time.  I meant to do it for 8:07 AM but instead I did 7:07 AM.  I was still asleep at 7:07 AM, I was for 20 minutes after that.

Coolness.

Yes middle school children it is cool to always be attached to you "soul mate" all day, barely moving far enough apart to breath.
Also swearing 7 times in every sentence makes you seem more mature.
Just thought that all the 12 year olds of the world should know.
I was an idiot when I was 12. Goodness.

I learned how to properly protect my self from a nuclear bomb today, duck and cover. Hide under something strong with canned goods. Unless you're in the street then throw yourself into the gutter. They failed to mention the radiation, disintegration of the human body and the nuclear fallout. The 50's were a fun time.

"Oh, I thought they won a huge gold globe"

So the Golden Globes were last night. I love award shows, they help me deepen my pool of useless knowledge. Christian Bale won and yelled because he was drunk, amazing. Jim Parsons, Sheldon from Big Bang Theory, won over Steve Carell. And some how I was okay with that. Olivia Wilde looked amazing. I want her dress, I may buy it(If I had a couple thousand) and wear it to church. Sadly every single picture of her wearing it has been snatched off the internet and sold to magazines for large sums of money.
That is the end of me talking about this award show.
We got Google Chrome over the weekend, I like it, it corrects my spelling.
Also Montreal won on Saturday, and Toronto lost.
This is my last week of classes before exams. My Pre-cal Exam is in a week tomorrow.
I seriously have nothing to post about today, I can't think of anything.

Storm openess.

I was pretty set on there being no school today, and now there is.  I guess our school board thinks it's safe to bus kids through a slippery harbour and over a mountain...in multiple places.  Your call.  Also so you know how my mom alerted me that I had school?  She turned on the hall light, which I'm pretty sure is the brightest light in the universe, and opened my door...with no explination. 

The Grammy's in interview form.

Okay so I love Rhett and Link. Also I love Third Day, and Third Day is in this video.  I pretty much like how the only people they got were Christian musicians...and one metal band.

I'm posting this because I want to win a give away on this blog.  So much cool stuff.

The grade eights are reading The Outsiders.  I first read it when I was their age.  I love that book.  It's also one of the few movies that is really close to the book.  This earns mega points on my part.  I may write about my crazy love some other day.

Hey, guess what?  This post isn't about politics, or history.  Okay maybe a little bit of hisory as I'm reflecting on my youth.

Update on January 27th 2011
I didn't win :(

Canada and Communism revisted.

I am scared of how little people know of Communism.  You say the word and everyone gets up in arms,  why?  Because there are certain preconitations that come along with it.  People think of the tyranny that comes along and not the actual ism.  I've been reading books on Communism and the rise of it lately.
Anyways, how do I always find the people who think Canada is Communist?  Second time it's happend to me.  This time I wasn't able to defend myself. Hello, I've mildly studied this and I would like to tell you the truth, but no okay....continue living in the delusion that you don't want me to live in.  UGH!  Both of these people have been Canadian too.  I'm sorry but do we still have elections, class and private ownership?  Yes. 
Why can't I ever voice my opinion anymore?
I think that tomorrow I may go back in and voice some.  I need to defend this, the truth.  But what's the use?  She's not going to listen to me.  I feel like the only voice of reason.  Why does she put my opinions down?  Atleast I have some, I analyze, I choose my side, I defend.  You're not even a humanities teacher, so basically you have no right spewing this nonsense.  First you say that global warming is a consipracy(which it might be, based on a glimmer of truth but I still think it's a little off.) then  9/11 was set up by the American government, followed by humans and animal are the same thing now Canada is communist.  You've gone way too far.  I'm going to get suspended for this post.  I shall take it standing tall.  Maybe I should revise this.
Sometimes I see why people homeschool.

I was able to take part in a wonderful political discussion yesterday.  I love talking about politics.  I was able to voice my opinion, thankfully.  I still don't know exactly where I stand, and I don't think I ever will.  There is sin in this world so nothing will ever be perfect.   I'm such a pessimist.
I could actually discuss politics and world issues forever.  I love it so much.

On a lighter note I don't have to write my Hamlet essay now.  Also the band Hockey is phenominal, I randomly discovered them a week ago and they're amazing.  And the more I listen to them the more I like them.
Okay, I promise my next post will NOT be politics related.

p.s. Joanne your comments didn't come through.

Sweet Caroline

So I think I'm going to go to bed now.  I had a nap when I got home because I was a zombie but now I'm wide awake.  It's a never ending cycle.
I'd like to post something interesting, but I've got nothing.

Then I remembered this, this is on the cover of Macleans right now.  Steven Harper singing at the Torrie Christmas Party.  This is the leader of Canada everyone.

Let's not talk about it.

I may be Red Listed.

I'm watching the Canada, Russia gold medal game.  Exciting.

Today I checked out 3 books on Communism from the library and would have checked out more but 3 is the limit.  My profile is probably flagged at school now.  Sketchy.  They have the Marxism books shoved down in a low dark corner, so that no one finds them I guess.  Why did I check these books out?  I've decided to do my Global History essay on Communism.  I got one titled Communism (yes very original) written in 1970 by an American...I wonder how biased that's going to be?
Do you know what's crazy?  This is a rhetorical question and if I were actually talking to you I would wait for an answer, but as I want to get this post up and going I'm not going to wait.  Okay then.  The crazy thing is, that Tokyo, Japan has a population of 34 million people.  This is the population of Canada....the 2nd largest country in the world.  Insanity.
Also, a slightly less crazy thing is that I have to write three essays this month.  But 2 of them are history essays so it's okay.  While the other is a literary essay on Hamlet, ugh.

So I'm goint to go back to watching hockey then I'll read some books on Communism.  That's a fully rounded night.

Socialist tendencies

Today I changed my political views on Facebook.  It used to say Very Conservative, now it says" Very Conservative with slight socialist tendencies.
Okay okay, by Socialist Tendencies I mean I don't believe in a free market economy, I don't have a huge need for the army and I like free heathcare.  As I feel that healthcare is an undeniable human right.  And by saying socialist I am not saying Nazi socialist, as they are a socialist party.   
Yet I'm a Conservative because I think Canada has the right to defend it's self using the army.  I like most of the moral of the Conservative party, most of them.
I'd like to say I'm a Nationalist because I believe in Canada but then it sounds like I'm all buddy budy with the Seperatists.  Which I am fully not!  Also when you say nationalist it invokes images of Hitler and his make Germany stronger by being a nation and having children and the like.  I think Canada could be the true north strong and free if only we became our own nation.  This ideal is a whole other post, that some day may be written. 
Sometimes I think this blog gets a little too politically heavy.

Some people read my blog too much.
Someone gave me a Hitler card for unforgettable during Apples to Apples...someone else gave me a camp card.  This was pretty funny because the person played me so well.

So 2011 shaping up to be a happier year, well kind of, I decided not to read this one blog that everyday made me mad.  Much better.  Also one New Years Eve someone gave me a plate of butter tarts.  Okay one more, there might be an election this year, which I'm desperatly hoping  it is after June.

Putin is pretty much my hero...He hunts bears,sings, swims to Alaska for fun kills journalists...imprisons rap musicians. He also runs Russia while not and is basically a communist.  So sarcastic, okay the part about him being my hero,that was a lie but the other stuff,  all true.
I love being sarcastic..it's a problem.

Happy Days everyone.
