Sidney days has begun! I love Sidney because the whole community gets involved in all of the little events and its so cute. Yea, they're not that exciting usually but we make it into good times. Tonight was the sidney days fireworks. a very sad display but the gangs of people everywhere kept it interesting.






(Wow i look white beside andrea..)

I can't even wait for tomorrow night. this is how its going to go down. Go to the inner harbour. check in to our hotel. go in the hot tub. put on temporary tattos etc. write stuff on our asses. Get changed. pre drink. join the friggin party on the streets and have a sweet time. best holiday of the year hands down. keep it safe kids.

Camping was amazing. as usual. I dont think there's any activity that beats camping. Especially with 10 or so girls. Im pretty much forcing my eyes open right now. there wasnt too much sleep involved last night. We sat on this cliff overlooking the highway for a few hours.. very relaxing and deep conversations were had. it was good times for sure. the night involved a lot of mooning of the other girls and sicking them out. what we do best.

My ears hurt cause i just stretched them. and i'm eating ice.

Just got home from the hardest test in my life. which is pretty much a guaranteed fail. but i dont care anymore because it's over and im free and theres no more school or anything to worry about except what im going to bring to camping tonight! Holy camping is amazing and im so stoked.



The car just got dropped off so its officially ours now. Im excited but its standard and i have no clue how to do that yet. in time.

Well Caitlin is slightly annoyed that her brother who is 15 years of age is looking at a car right now with the parents. This is wrong in so many ways. one being i am older and don't have a car! what the fuck is this about? i thought i was the favorite child....



Went to Vic with the peter. picked myself up a couple of cds. Bloc Party. and death cab for cutie- transatlanticism. very amazing. anyways the bus ride there was quiet because everyone was dying from old.



Saw Batman. it was good. and dark. and actiony. i liked it.



I have the hiccups. and slept with my socks on last night.

I got molested by many native animals of Canada. they must be excited because it's canada day on friday.




Ok so maybe i molested them a little bit too. but they liked it.


EDIT: ok so 10 minutes later the fam comes home with the car.. and they're buying it. and appearently it's mine. or something. and i have to drive my brother in it. this seems a little unfair seeing as its him who picked it but i'm not complaining.
i think its a volkswagon gulf or rabbit or something along those lines. its cleary shitty but cute i would say.

Well my last few days have been fairly unneventful/slightly on the boring side. But things are about to pick up starting tomorrow. i have a busy week ahead of me that's for sure.

My brother and a friend were watching Man on Fire and i sit down to eat some food. it's the very last 5 minutes of the movie and i started crying into my food. I think his friend thinks i'm crazy or something.. i mean who crys during a movie they haven't even been watching.. anyway.



I'm making a huge list of cds that i'm planning on buying tomorrow. I will end up only buying three because I feel guilty if I spend too much money. You know how it is.



i never relised how complicated it is too book a campsite. Maybe it's not and i'm just trying in the wrong places... it shouldn't be too hard but do I have to go to the actual campsite to book it?

I want to get really good at the bass and be in a band with a really cool name. maybe. one day.



So i thought a cool look for my band would be to get my ass pierced. so i did.



no i didnt.

There once was a girl from Sidney,
She had an infected kidney.
Whenever she humped,
Her kidney jumped.
She went to get pills,
But lost her skills,
And now she has no kidney.



I used to photograph trolls in my free time.

Well i was looking through some old pictures. I decided to put some up here because im bored and have nothing better to do with my life. i'm lying i do. but right now this is what im doing...

This is me when i could fly.


This is me when i played volleyball.


This is me and my friends when we thought we were cool.


This is me when i did karate.


This is me when i wore ugly shirts.


This is my room when you'd walk in and get a seizure.


This is me when i had an orange jacket.


This is me an a pool.

Saturday was my last full day of work before i leave! i'm such a slacker. Me and Jess rolled on down to the Gary Oak room for some musical geneeuss.



We only stayed for one song of the vendors... it was too loud and we couldnt take it. Peter's band was next. Suburbia. they rocked the hizzouse. and stuff.



Kilamanca were pretty good. And for course Black Tie Social was amazing as usual. I've seen them three times now and every and I still can't get over how good they are. I'm really sad i'm missing their next show on June 21st:( If you havent checked them out deffinitely go to their new website or come out to their next show if you're in the area!





Lat summer my cousins and I made up a word that we would make people pronounce then laugh really hard because it was funny... anyways i couldnt remember it so i asked my cousin and he reminded me. pimg. haha whatever im tired and have to study for my history provincial. 40% of my mark. kill me.

Ted Tanner. my favorite person. He is amazing and i could stand there all night listening to him. I'm sure he thinks i'm a stalker but whatever, hopfeully he takes it as a compliment. I bought his cd last summer and its awsome. If i knew how to host music i'd put a song up, but seeing as i'm computer handicap that's not happening.



bloggers going weird and making my pictuers different sizes. nicee

After work a bunch of us rented a movie. Wicker Park. If you havent seen it. see it. it is amazing. actual best movie.




Tomorrow I have two exams and i havent studied. I didn't think i cared untill now when i'm starting to get a little worried... oh well.

Thursday Night markets start tomorrow and i can't even wait. Last summer I only missed one (sad, i know) its the highlight of summers in sidney. Its so cute seeing our little community get together once a week at these things. Not that they're that exciting, but we make it fun and see people we havent seen in a while. im excited.



Yesterday we got another guitar... and by got, i mean my brother fixed my dads old one. Its so cute and SO old. its like 100 years old. We gave it new strings and tightened it up and it plays pretty well... kind of.

Well sorry to keep talking about the weather, but its now raining/thundering/lightninging. I really hope it gets better soon even thought it's not supposed to... the last day of school is always supposed to be sooo hot and sunny! grr they're calling for a heat wave in scotland so if the weather's shitty here hopefully it will be nice there.



Well anyways today was my last math tutor and tonight i think is my last guitar lesson. I haven't decided if im happy or sad they're ending... My teachers kind of crazy, and talks to me about how he gets drunk, or tells weird jokes. every time i go he insists i sing along, and every time i tell him no. i cant even play guitar how am i supposed to sing at the same time (not to mention i can't sing anyways) But going also gives me the incentive to actually practice so he doesnt think i am horrible at it. So if i don't have a teacher will i still be motivated? i hope so...




A german girl in my french class shaved her head yesterday for cancer. she had the longest hair before! She was one of those girls who never talked or wore the nicest clothes but you could tell if she did her hair or whatever she'd be super pretty. anyway she shaved her head and it looks so nice! its weird how some people can look so good with no hair... i don't think i could pull it off... maybe a faux hawk or something, but not shaved...

(That would be her on the right)


Today got stressful... we got our yearbooks and everyone was trying to get everyone to sign them. people were workin up a sweat running around, and i was getting so hot and dizzy with the amount of people in the small area.




funny thing. my friends think i'm a lesbian... another story that is related... yesterday we were talking about what type of porn we were going to rent etc etc and carly points to me and says "no lesbian porn!" i don't understand.. hahah whatever its funny. maybe it has something to do with the fact that i would make out with tegan (from tegan and sara) but thats beside the point because most of my friends said they would too... shes famous and hot why not... ok wow i'll stop.

today was intense hot. last day of school tomorrow. overly excited and can't wait. only one class then im outta there and in grade 12. coool thing.



I should have worn sunscreen today. and unfortunately lack of has resulted in a huge burn/rash/horrible tan lines. i need some aloe vera. I ate so much food today it was pretty sweet/gross.




Carly is impulsive and decided to dye her hair so we went to andreas and dyed it, then watched the notebook as i coverd myself in sunscreen and aloevera and chilled on andreas fun moving footstool thing.






I started watching this show called the Scholar. its about these really smart kids with no money competing for a scholarship and such... anyways it's entertaining and they're all so smart it's amazing. some of them are trying to flirt with eachother and its funny and cute and they try so hard but they have no skill (not that i do..) anyway.

My family thinks im crazy and everytime they think im lying they mention a seagull. i'll explain. When I was four or five or six or seven I was chillin in my yard with a butterfly net, and i saw a seagull sitting at the back of my yard on a woodpile like under these pine trees. ( i don't know what it was doing there) anyway, i snuck up behind it with my little net and slammed my net over it. and caught it. then i closed the end and carried it to my house and it was flapping and stuff. and probably the same size as me... anyways i showed my neighbor and he got mad, then i showed my mom and she told me to let it go and then i did. ok so that's my story and my whole family told me it never happened but i swear it did. i was a talented kid, i think it was possible. it happened! grr

today was great because i slept in till 1:00. I never get the chance to sleep in anymore with work etc. anyways. i woke up and FINALLY a nice day! that made me happy, but also sad because i missed half of it...



Went to sidney with cael... i bought sushi and worked out in a cool belt.




I thought it was a wrestling belt but appearently not.

Happy fathers day to all you fathers out there. I know Leck is. My goal is to be a better daughter. and sutff.. so i'm going to go and give my dad a card! not that that's making me a better daughter.. but that is what i'm doing right now. and such

Peter came over tonight, played a little scatergories... my mind wasn't being creative so peter thought he was really good, but really i wasn't trying.

We watched three episodes of the OC, i don't know what he thought about it. He was to proud to admit it was the best show ever probably...



Anyways we went for a walk and i got really scared cause it was dark and i was thinking about the Shining and this ghost i saw onetime.

I lifted 6 bags of bark mulch today into someones car today and now my back hates me and i can barely move. I'm sure that doesnt sounds like much to you buff boys out there.. but i have a small muscle mass and no lifting skills. anyways..

My grandpas here and i feel bad because i'm ignoring him.

Pretty random night last night.. caleigh and I walked around aimlessly for while. i ran into my old best friend. elementary school best friend. we don't really talk anymmore even though she goes to my school. It was kind of awkward and i miss her.

I watched the notebook last night. I cried a lot. especially when the old man was crying. i hate seeing old people sad. it was good though.

I'm watching a tractor mow the field beside me. i wanted to go help him but my mom said no.



Good news for Sidney folk such as myself. we have a new celebrity resident. Meg Ryan. mhmmm good times for us. my new hobby = stalking her.

I learned 8 songs on bass today. it was fun and they were all Tegan & Sara songs. haha!




2 days of school left :) + 2 exams and one provincial. I have a mock provincial tomorrow so i'm going to study all night (20 mins). Our teachers radcore so he's buyin us pizza and stuff. pretty stoked for that.

Peter's gonna come over on saturday and im going to make him watch the OC. He's never seen it and hates it. that makes sense! by the time im through with him he's going to be obsessed....

this is a shoe i made out of clay and my teacher gave me a shitty mark. cooooool



Well I officially just booked a hotel for the first of July till the 2nd. CANADA DAY! WOOOO pretty much the best holiday. the plan for that weekend: the 30th go to fireworks. camp. 1st is sidney days! head down to the inner harbour for some Canada day festivities... check into our hotel etc etc. it's going to be a sweeet weeeeek.

I just had someone i don't know tell me they just lost their virginity. just what i needed to know. i think the phrase "my big break almost came" was mentioned.... i wont go on :|



grad 05!! only a year left for me then im freeeeeee



Went out for breakfast this morning for Andrea's birthday. i had some hashbrowns. they weren't the best. and my apple juice was seperated. anyways we headed down to the peir to see the grad pics etc. it was fun times and my favorite german from last year came back yesterday! this makes me happy because i love him.







I'm actually going to try to do good on my History Provincial, so i whipped out the Savage Garden and got organized.



This weather is pissing me off. today was descent but now they're calling for rain again! last year at this time it was so hot and we had waterfights and were half naked constantly. now we're all freezing because we refuse to bring out the sweaters. its summer damnit im not wearing one.


die weatherman

(last year when it was actually hot)

I've decided to get really tanned before I head over to Scotland where they are really pasty and see through and i will be really brown and they will think Sidney is tropical city (which it's not). If the weather would get friggin better it would make things easier...



Last week of school partay.

Today i played tennis in the finals of this tennis tournament... it was bad. i played against a huge butch german girl with a limp who was too good for her own good. my goal was to win 1 game. i won 2. out of 14. yay. whatever i got a freakin SWEET medal out of it...



I'm done art and i go to class expecting to watch a movie.. instead he tells me to clean all of the paint brushes. mhmmm like that's happening. i went on an hour and half bathroom break. but i made this guy..



I almost started crying last night when i relised im going to be gone for the harry potter party. WHY GOD!? its a tradition. i'm more sad about missing this than i am about missing bob dylan... It's depressing. i'll have to find a harry potter rager somewhere in scotland...



Michael Jackson is innocent! best news of the day! ch-check it out

well, like Peter, i felt like a change, and since i know absolutely nothing about html and am too lazy to do anything fancy, this was the result... it's just temporary but it will do for now

Our taxi driver was amazing and let 8 of us in. then he blasted the music and we all sang along. now i'm going to have a nap.

Last night I had a surprise party for Haruna, who's going back to Japan on the 19th! It was fun times. Played a little foosball, kicked a little ass... ate some cake.. scared Yuji and Shun-ya away. the usual.









Those aren't my feet... but i wish they were! thats some talent..

Yesterday there was an earthquake or something. and i couldnt even scream a lot because i didn't know anyone... so i just cried silently to myself and listened to music. except i didn't cry. then someone said it wasnt an earthquake and it was a rocket... anyways it was scary.

played a little recreational volleyball yesterday. Our team was rad and we lost every game. We even lost playing 6 against 2. how sad.



Right now i should be at school... but i'm not. so i'm waiting to go to work, then come back home for a surprise party for a certain someone. lets hope she doesn't read this.

Had some brother sister bonding time yesterday where we actually made contact and a few words were exchanged. a couple of guitars/basses were played aswell.

295 days untill i get a labret piercing.

Its official, im leaving on the 3rd, to the 27th to Scotland with the mom to visit relatives etc. should be alright times i'm assuming...

Got in some hardcore gym action today. well maria and i just watched hot people and skipped and stuff... but the effort was there. A guy from quebec started talking to us (frederique) and we thought he had a handicap, but he was just french. then i tried talking french and he didn't understand. so much for the 11 years of french we're forced to take in school.

I'm tired and have nothing to say (not that I usually do) anyways have a good day/night

whatever. im bored.

Lifeplan.

graduate. go to mexico with the gang. work full time for a year. get lots of money. Caleigh and I travel for a year around the world. come home. get bartenders license. bartend and stuff. then i don't know.

Well today was the day i got my bass. an instrument shaped, held, and fingered much like a guitar, only cooler. bass players happen to be much much sexier than guitar players, despite popular belief. It's pretty sweet, and i bought one of those package deals so it came with the bass, amp, bag, headphones, video etc. etc.




I watched the video that came with it, to learn the basics and stuff. it was funny, and the guy on the camera was really awkward and stuff. every time he said g-string he started laughing. good times.

I actually excersised tonight, which was weird. I was riding my bike and I was so tired/out of shape i thought the brake was half on, but no, i just sucked. I was riding along this path and I stopped because this little family was walking by and i didn't want to maul them over. anyways my music was really loud and the dad started talking to me for like 5 minutes but i couldn't hear him. it got awkward and he kind of got angry so i left.

I bought The Perishers CD yesterday and its awsome. I suggest you check them out.

I didn't play tennis today because the person i was supposed to play is a huge bitch and didn't come.

Went down to Long and Mcquade and reserved a Bass. I'm not good at instinct buys, hence i need a few days to think about it. I'll get somebody to go pick it up for me on monday :) im excited.

Saw Star Wars and it was v. good. R2's so cute. but peter got angry at me because I was constantly making innapropriate comments etc.



On the way home there were drunk babies from our school on the bus and they were trying to read my shirt and i turned around so they couldn't. then one got hit in the face and her nose was bleeding everywhere and i laughed really hard. it was kind of mean i think...

Caitlin is tired and has to work in the morning so she's goin to bed. gn

Yesterday Leslie got attacked by two dogs at the native reserve and now she has teeth marks and blood and stuff on her leg. Godamn. Control your dogs you fuckers. We're going to tell the police about this one. haha

Games day in the hizzouse. tea + games + guitars + pizza + friends = good
