I really need to start coming up with creative titles.

I have a busy 2 weeks ahead of me. So my 16th birthday is in 9 days (insert celebration). This means that in 9 days I will be of age to get my G1. Today I finally got my lazy ass out of my house to buy the driving book. I'm giving myself 2-3 weeks to read the thing, take notes and know everything in it.
I'm gonna start off with something easy like traffic signs... for a confidence boost.

Yeah, and I got Thanksgiving this weekend, which means I don't have to go to my horrendous lifeguarding class, thank god. JOKES, it's not that bad but I'm glad to have the break. The remainder of my weekend will be filled with turkey, shopping, mashed potatoes, dealing with customers at work, stuffing, traffic signs, loud people, and after dinner naps.

Sounds fun, eh?

A new adventure

I feel, boring. Like I haven't done anything spontaneous in a while.

I live by a routine: wake up, go to school, field hockey practice, work/hmwk and then i go to sleep. 15 years old and my life has already become routine.

Thanks go I'll be turning 16 in only 10 days. A new age promises a new adventure... hopefully. I want to do something that nobody expects me to do, something that I don't expect myself to do. I want to do something worth remembering.

It will be surprising, exciting, inspiring and amazing. An explosion of adventure.

Only question is, what will it be?

Ugghh

So im trying to be a good student. You know, do all my work, study, read ahead. But I just don't know where to start. I have a test on monday on my french book, which I haven't started reading yet... guess I should do that. Oh yeah, and since I'm on this whole get good grades thing, I better take notes.

Fuck my life, I wish I was born with Einstein's brain; then again, it's probaly a good thing that I wasn't the inventor of the atomic bomb. God only knows what state the world would be in.

Atlast

Hola amigos. Well this weekend I finally finished an essay which I was supposed to give in 3 months ago (for those of you wondering it's not for school).

If youve read my previous posts you'll know that this April my classmates and I will be going on a trip to France. This trip is a little pricey but my uncle said he would help me out with the costs if I wrote him an essay explaining why it would be beneficial for me. Well, it took 6 hours, 3 cokes and a pizza, but I finnaly finished it. And if I say so myself, it's pretty friggin awesome. =)

Mission = Accomplished

My Apologies

Heyy guys, I'm soooooooooo sorry for my leave of absense from the blogging world. My computer broke down like a month ago and I had to wait 2 weeks to get in fixed, and the I've been super busy trying to juggle school, work, homework and my me time, which I know realise should include my blog.

Yeah, so I don;t have much to say but I just wanted to let everyone know that I was still alive and didn't forget about my blog. I promise to have atleast one post a week and hopefully I can stick by this.

Well while I'm on here, I might as well keep you guys up to date on whats been going on in my world. So I started my grade 11 year a couple weeks ago. Yeah, grade 11. This means no more slacking, and no more fooling around in class.

- sigh -

Oh well, I've been surprised, I've actually been pretty good with my no slacking off, I've even been studying my french verbs almost every night (this surprised me). Unfortunately, today I have to spend my entire day reading and taking notes on my french book which I haven't started reading yet.

So what else? I started my NLS a couple weeks ago, so hopefully I pass that.

Oh yeah, im back in a knee brace... apparently my knee cap's loose... I will fill you in when I get more details.

Well, it's 9 o'clock on a saturday morning, this is not right for me to be up this early.

Guess I'm gonna go get some more sleep.

Hasta la vista putas.

Summer Reflection

This summer has been fairly uneventful. When I say that, I don't mean that it's been a complete waste of time, but it's just different rom last summer

Last summer was one filled with memories. I went to leadership camp where I got to go camping for the firt time. I got to go see the 2009 induction to the baseball Hall of Fame. I had a great trip in Cooperstown. And I even got to go up to the cottage a couple of times with my friends.

This summer has been different. I've spent about 95% of it in Mississauga. The only event that I'll probaly remember is going downtown, for the time (at night).

This summer was one where I learnt a lot about myself and what I want to do with my life. I may not have gone anywhere, but I didn't need to. Now you guys are wondering "What exactly did Danielle Reid do this summer?"

(Even though I don't like posting lists on blogs, I will do it since I've done it before):

• Discovered a passion for cooking. I never thought that I would be spending hours reading trough cookbooks, looking for recipes and actually enjoying it!
• Found some great bands. This does seem like a rather small accomplishment, but I'm happy it happened. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IprgVNlFIqM This is one of the songs I found. It's by an amazing band callled The National.
• Improved my friendships. Yes, I know this sounds wierd, but I didn't know how else to word it. This summer I opened up to some of m close friends and was able to trust them enough to tell them things that I haven;t told anyone else.
• Started a blog! This is something that I've always wanted to do, and here I am. At the beginning of the summer I started this blog having really no idea what to do or say, and now I'm a pro at it (almost).
• Figured out the answer to the question that many people ask themselves on a daily basis: what am I going to do with my life?
• Starting watching MTV Live. It;'s an awesome show. I reccomend it to anyone with a sense of humour.

Other then that, I just fucked around pretty much.

I guess you could say that my Summer '10 was a self improvement summer. Your choice.

The joys of having a dillusional maternal figure

I'm so sick of people taking out their anger and frustration on me.

Did I do anything to you today? No. so stop being a bitch to me, I already got enough bullshit to deal with in my life.

My mom just freaked out at me because I asked her if i could make cookies. She said it was too late and i said so... and then she flipped out saying how I have an attitude and I'm all moody

I'm moody??? Well she wasn't complaining about that when I bought groceries with my own money and made dinner for my entire family so she wouldn't have to worry about it. If anybody is, moody in my house, it's definitely her.

Fuck, just because your so unhappy with your own miserable life doesn't mean that you have the right to take it out on your daughter who is nothing but good to you.

I mean I understand people taking out there anger on someone every once in a while, but not constantly.

That fucking woman needs to see a therapist... IMMEDIATELY.

One good thing about school starting soon, I'll be busier and will spend less time with that crazy woman who claims to be my mother.

I've decided that I was adopted.

Untitled

Today's accomplishments:

• got my health card photo
• read for an hour and a half
• taught myself how to make alredo sauce (used an online recipe) and didn't screw it up
• made cookies (again)
• kept a good level of sanity

I would consider it a good day. I would consider it to be a great day if I were able to come up with an interesting title, but unfortunately my creativity is M.I.A this evening.

Now let's see if I can get to sleep at a decent time, gotta be at my friends house tomorrow morning at 8am for a 24 marathon.

Wish me luck.

What a day!

Today I got to enjoy having my haircut. I mean, who doesn't love hair cuts? You get to sit in a comfy chair and be pampered My favourite part is at the beginning when they're watching your hair and the water is the perfect temperature.

After my haircut I had to go see the new movie "Vampires Suck" with my sister and her friend.

Vampires Suck is a spoof of the twilight series. So if you make the bad decision of going to see this movie, I'll let you know what to expect:

Pretty much it's just a bunch of unknown actors making fun of twilight. Every now and then they make a joke about other pop culture figures (ex. Lady Gaga, Jonas Brothers...). I won't lie to you, there were parts of the movie that made me laugh, but there were also other pathetic attempts at humour which left me thinking "what the hell?''.

I would recommend this movie to teenagers who have nothing to do and don't mind paying 11 bucks to see a mediocre comedy.

This movie receives 2 stars out of 5. The rating may have been higher if there were atleast 1 decent looking person in the film.

That's a wrap!

Hey there ;)

Now that's a good looking man.

Time for a change...

Recently I was reading over my blog and have noticed that my posts have become less interesting. Theres a reason for it, I have a boring life.

Not to sound conceited or anything, but I'm a really fun person and have the potential to lead an adventurous life. And what am I doing? Sitting at my computer telling you all about what could've been.

Well it's stops now. No more boring blogs. No more wasting time. I have 15 more days of summer vacation and I'm going to do something interesting on each of those days.

What will I do?

I'm not sure at the moment. But you'll hear about it because when I come home I'll be right back here, telling you all about my attempt to lead an awesome life.

Wish me luck!

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, Life goes on yeah!

I'm in a very domestic mood today.

If you guys have read my previous posts, you'll know that I love to bake, and I'm actually fairly good at it. Normally I play it safe and only make chocolate chip cookies, but a couple nights ago I decided to change it up a bit and make chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips.

This was a test. If I would be able to successfully bake these new cookies, it would prove that I have a true baking talent. On the other, I were unsuccessful with this recipe, it would mean that I am a talentless individual who shall never achieve anything worthwhile in their life.

Fortunately, the cookies turnd out to be delicious!


Well... maybe not delicious, but they were very good!

ANYWAYS... today I decided that I am going to get a tattoo (yes, I know that this is a completely different subject but I felt like talking about it, so if you have a problem with the current topic change, then deall with it!).

For the past couple months I've wanted to gfet a tattoo, but I wanted it to be significant to me. For example, meaningful song lyrics or an inspirational quote.

So I've decided to get an Obama quote tattooed around my ankle, in the form of an anklet. Here's the quote:

"WE are the ones we've been waiting for.

WE are the change we seek"

Reasons why I'm getting this quote...

• I believe in the message.
• Obama is just awesome.
• It'll look pretty :)

Is it good anough for you all? No? Doesn't matter.

Atlast,my dream becomes a reality

As mentioned in a previous post, I am a Tim Horton's fanatic. Today, while ordering a ham and swiss sandwich from Tim Horton's, I discovered something that will forever have a positive impact on my life.

That's right, Tim Horton's is now serving ice cream!!! do you feel my excitement?

For those of you who are wondering why I am so thrilled with this, I will explain. Cold stone Creamery has my two favourite ice cream flavours: mint & peanut butter. And get this, one of the toppings is Oreo!

Do you remember in the movie the parent trap (the newer version with Lindsay Lohan, you know before she became a drug addict) how the girls ate Oreos dipped in peanut butter? Well right after I saw this movie I immediatly tried this snack and have been fixated on it ever since.

Wow, I am thrilled that Tim Hortons now serves my favourite coffee, my favourite sandwich, my favourite snack AND my favourite ice cream!

I'm loving this ;)

The clock is ticking...

The title says it all, the clock is ticking. And when the clock is ticking, it means that time is running out.

In 20 days, my summer will be over and I will be back to school, wasting my life away in a classroom. To be honest, I think education is important but school isn't in my opinion the best way to be educated. Well atleast not in highschool.

Highschool is freed with teenagers who are seeking freedom and independence. One way that the Ministry of education attempts to control that freedom is by hiring old, boring teachers who are completely unwilling to have openminded discussions about the the subjects that we are studying.

Let's face it, the government wants to control our thoughts. They put these teachers in our schools that try to teach us what the government wants us to learn. Gives us ideas that the government wants us to believe.

Once I realised this whole situation I wasn;t shocked, I mean it's only natural that political leaders in the Canadian government want control and power over something. I mean, on the international scene Canada is well liked and respected but are not taken seriously. Were the nice guy, and unfortunately the nice guys never get power.

As you could imagine, this upsets Canadian leaders, so they start to think "Well if we can't have any power or control over what's happening in the world, we need to control something. Hmmm, who has no say in what goes on in their life? Highschool students! That's it! We'll control there thought!"

I kind of pity these sad excuses for politicians. I mean if I spent my entire adult life lying and bribing on my way to "a position of power" and when I got it didn't end up having much power, I suppose I would be upset as well.

_________________________

Fuck, okay so i had no intentions of talking about this when I started today's post but whatever. Now I'm dissapointed because my original post had nothing to do with the faults in the Canadian government. Oh well, fuck it. Maybe I'll write that post tomorrow.

Farewell, people of the internet.

;)

You never know

Today, I learnt that first impressions are rarely accurate.

For example, today I made a new friend. He started working at my store a couple weeks ago and we decided to hang out today. My first impression of him was that he was nice, into sports and maybe not the smartest guy. I figured that most of the day's conversation would revolve around sports.

And I was right about that, for about the first hour.

You know when you first make friends with someone and you try to make conversation with them but it's kind of hard to because you guys don't know each other? Well that's kind of what it was like.

After a bit of time we got a really good deep conversation going, not something i expected to happen. I was pleasantly surprised.

Everybody makes first impressions. It's human nature. My point is that we shouldn't place too much importance upon those first impressions. Can we really judge a person from one encounter?

So here something that I'd like you all to do atleast once before the summer comes to an end. Don't judge someone on a first impression. If you meet someone and think their weird, or stupid or just not someone that you think you could be friends with, give them a second chance. Hang out with them or talk to them. Just find a way to get to know them. It may work out, or it may not.

I guess... you never know.

I guess there's a first for everything?

Today, is a special day.

Today, is a day that I will remember for a long time.

Today, is the day that I, Danielle Reid, have become a woman.

You may wonder, why today? What happened that was so special that I felt it necessary to declare my womanhood too the people of the internet? Well I have the answer for you all.

Today, I stood up to one of the most feared woman of the 21st century... my mother.

Allow me to set the scene for you.

Today, I awoke at noon. Minutes aftwer my awakening, I received a phone call from my mother. This is how the conversation went...

Mom: Danielle, it's noon. What time did you wake up?

Me: Hmmm, about 10 minutes ago.

Mom: WHAT?!?!?!?!? What is the matter with you! Your wasting your whole day sleeping and not accomplishing anything at all. Your such a zero! What are you doing with your life???

After a couple minutes of these comments, my mother ended the conversation by hanging up the phone, leaving me on the other end feeling a little annoyed. So I thought to myself, "She wants to know what I'm going to do with my life? Well I'll tell her!"

I spent the next hor writing her a note answering her question and left it on the table for her to read when she came home. Luckily for me, I was going to be at my own job while she read this letter. About halfway through my shift, I received a phone call from my house phone. I couldn;t answer it since I was at work but I knew it was my mother and that she had something to say about that note I left her.

I spent the next two hours at work in fear of how much shit I would be in when I got home. When I came home, I preceded downstairs to where my mother was to confront her about the situation. She took it surprisingly well. She even apologized for the things she said to me on the phone. WTF?

I was expecting this huge reaction and fight to happen between us and nothing! Oh well, I guess you could say it was a good kind of dissapointment.

I never thought I'd see the day when I was upset that my mother didn't get mad at me.

I guess there's a first for everything?

Now I get what they mean when they say "too good to be true"

I want this so badly. I dream about, I constantly think about it.

And you know what sucks?

I'm never going to get it.

I can hope for it, and keep telling myself theres a chance that it will happen, but in the end I'll just be faced with dissapointment.

I can try to change myself, I can try to improve myself. But in the end, I'm just not good enough.

Just because I want him, doesn't mean he'll want me.

I just have to accept it and move on.

Why is that so hard?

I'm in Toronto BITCHHHHHHHHH ;)

Heyy guys! Sorry I havent been writing lately but it's been a crazy couple days and I haven't really had time to write a well thought out blog.

So before I go into another one of my rants, I'm gonna uptade you guys on what I've been doing these last couple days. I'll spare you all the details and will just write some of the highlights.

• hotboxing
• partying with rich kids
• manicure& pedicure
• private party at cafe diplamatico
• dancing on College Street downtown
• hookups
• Tim Hortons
• chilling by the pool
• 2 hour traffic

Yeah, other then the two hour traffic I had an amazing last couple of days. Especially this weekend, I really discovered my inner party child. This is when I realized how much ive changed over the last 3 years.

3 years ago, I was a shy grade 7 girl who often went unnoticed because of my quietness. I only opened up to a couple close friends and I never would dance in public because i had a fear of being humiliated.

Now, it's a different story. I'm more outgoing and I have alot more fun. I'm not afraid to try new things and just go up and meet new people. And best of all, I can finally dance in public!!! To some, this may seem insignificant, but for me it's a huge accomplishment.

So last night when I was downtown there was this really good band that was playing a bunch of 70's music (which i LOVE by the way) and for 20 minutes I was just constantly thinking about how much I wanted to get up on the dance floor and break out in dance.

So you know what?

I DID!

And it was so much fun. I'm going to do it more often.

Watch out world, the Danielle factor is coming to a party near you, and she's not afraid to bust a move.

Yeah, I just said bust a move. I'm awesome enough to say that. BE JEALOUS!

Well I know in the beginning of this post I said there would be a rant, but unfortuntely I have nothing else to tak about.

One of my favourite electro songs just came on and now I feel like dancing, so I guess that means that this blog will be coming to an end.

;)

Too Tired To Stand

The title says it all, i am far too tired to stand. I think Ive spent far too much time on my feet today and as a result i think that I should treat myself to a pedicure. But what is the reason for my feet being in such pain? Well, I shall tell you.

So today I worked a 5 and a half hour shift at work. This means that I was stuck standing alone at a cash register for five and a half hours. By the way, I also walked to work.

Since I'm such a good sister, I decided to go watch my little sister's soccer game in the evening. This did not involve any standing but I thought I would add it in just so all you readers out there would know what a lovely person I am. Wait... know that I think about it, there was a very long two minute walk from the parking lot to the field.

Anyways, then tonight I was in a bit of a Betty Crocker mood, so I decided to make some of my famous chocolate chip cookies. But since I have such a big family, I always have to double the recipe so I have enough cookies to give to my friends. As a consequence, I spend over 2 hours making cookies. Plus an additional 20 minutes of cleaning.

Alright, so now lets add that all up.

5 and 1/2 hours + 2 hours + 20 minutes= 7 hours and 50 minutes

That's almost 8 hours of standing in one day! You should now all understand why my feet are in such pain.

Well seeing that it is now 1 am, i shall be retiring to bed. I hope you all have an awesome night.

BONNE SOIRE MES AMIS!

;)

Talk To Us

The four worst words to hear?

"I'm dissapointed in you."

We get the absolute worst feeling when those four words are said to us, especially if they're said to us by a close friend or family member. When we hear those words and they make us feel upset, we know that we let down someone that we care about. They trusted us to do something, and we failed them. But the real reason why they make us so upset? When others are dissapointed, most of the time we become dissapointed in ourselves.

Throughout our lives, we will undergo a lot of pain. We will be dissapointed and we will make others dissapointed in us. And we don't always have to hear those words to know that people think of us as a dissapoint ment. Especially when it comes to our parents.

I don't know about you guys, but my parents are constantly comparing me to my cousins and to my friends telling me how i should be more like them and pretty much telling me that they're better then me.

We all have accomplishments. Our parents think they always know whats best for us, but do they ever take the time out of their lives to talk to us and ask us about our plans, and dreams and goals? No, they decide to make those for us. I know they just want us to be happy but thats not going to happen if they keep on making all these big plans without consulting us.

I know our parents were once teenagers and some things are still the way they were, but the reality is that alot of things are different. Before they make all these assumptions about us, they should maybe try talking and getting to know their own kids.

My parents don't know my dreams. They don't know that I've set up goals for myself and that I know how I'm going to achieve them.

"A father's dissapointment is the greatest tool"

-Michael Bergin

Well screw my parents. They don't believe in me? That's fine, I don't need them. I'm going to do somehting great with my life. I'm going to make a change in the world and help people. And when I do it, I'm going to go to them and say "Guess what, i did it. I prooved you wrong. Am I still your dissapointment?"

For all you parents out there reading this, just talk to your kids. Talk to us. That's all us teenagers want. Some one to support us, be proud of us and most of all, someone to believe in us.

The Traveler Inside Of Me

So I'm just getting home from a very long 3 hours of biking with some friends. We pretty much just rode our bikes around the area and maybe a ouple stops every now and then to do something stupid. It was fun.

I love it. Just getting on your bike in the morning and going to hang out with friends, with no idea of where your going to go, hwat yur going to do, or who your going to see. It makes me want travel. To go somewhere with a limited amount of supplies and just explore.

Well, unfortunately for now i'm stuck "exploring" my own city but in April, I will be going to France! That's right, FRANCE!

Ive been waiting to go there ever since kindergarden, when my mother decided to put me in the french immersion program. She says she did it to "provide me with more oppurtunities in the future" but I know she did it to secretly torute me by forcing me to deal with idiotic french teachers and a much harder workload.

Anyways, I didn;t really want to g to a french program because, well I didn't exactly know what French was. But, my mother promised me that if I stayed in it until i graduated highschool I would get to go to France.

Well, i'm not going to graduate for two more years but my school is going on a trip to France in April, and I'm going on it!

In case you guys didn't notice I;m extremely excited. Imagine it, drinking cofe in little cafés, visiiting the museums and the Note Dame, going on the Eiffel Tower. It's going to be an amazing trip and you guys will be seeing photos from it and hearing all about how awesome it was when I get back.

Well until April, I will be stuck exploring the exciting Greater Toronto Area. *Sigh*. Oh well, i'll survive.

Well right now my ass is extremely sore from a hard 3 hours of bike riding so I'm gonna go lie down and watch some TV.

Aurevoir Mes Amies!

;)

Sometimes theres just nothing to say.

Its day four of my phone being broken. Well, it still works but its being stupid. me and tachnology are just not a good mix.

So today was pretty.... well normal. I hungout with my friend nathan for a bit and then went to work a four hour shift. But work wasnt terrbile today. The story wasnt too busy and I met a new friend who seems nice. So I know you guys are used to all these deep and well written posts but these today I've had a small case of writers block so this is the best your going to get.

Hopefully it will be better tomorrow?

Fear

Fear is... inevitable. Whenever we conquer one fear, a new one arises soon enough.

Fear can hold us back from pursuing our dreams, taking chances, and living our life to the fullest.

Imagine life without fear? Being able to wake u every morning without concern or anxiety, happily waiting for your next big adventure. Unfortunately, that is not the world we live in.

Everyday we face various challenges and obstacles which stand in the way of allowing us to achieve our goals. Often, they are associated with our fears. For example, my two biggest fears are:

1. Ending up alone

2. Rejection

Those two are a bad match. I'm so afraid of not finding that person, the one i'll spend the rest of my life with. What if i meet Mr.Right and I don't make the first move because of my fear of rejection? Let's hope Mr.Right will make the first move.

So I've told you about my fears, now tell me about yours. Have they ever held you back from doing something?

I can't wait to hear your stories.

Well that's enough for one day, I'd like to end of this blog with a quote. Here it is:

"Never let the fear of Striking out keep you from playing the game"

-Babe Ruth

Live by these words of wisdom.

;)

Sometimes we just need a good laugh

Sometimes, were so caught up in the reality of life and are so stressed out, that we often forget to take a moment to step aside from it, and find amusement in the simpler things in life. Between work, school, friends, relationships, family and trying to keep a somewhat decent level of sanity. I, like many of you readers out there, often fall victim to stress. But since it's summer, i have less things to worry about and have had a lot more time to do... well whatever ive wanted to pretty much. Unfortunately, not everyone has this pleasure.

For those of you who are burdened by stress and havent had time to relax, probaly do not have time to google search awesome photos. Fortunately for you all, i do have the time and have found a photo that im sure you will all appreciate.

I know your all laughing at this.

YOUR WELCOME!

What has happenned to the world?

WARNING: THIS BLOG CONTAINS INFORMATION THAT MAY SHOCK AND DISTURB TRUE CANADIANS AND THOSE WHO LOVE TIM HORTONS. DO NOT CONTINUE READING IF YOU HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE OR A HISTORY OF HEART ISSUES IN YOUR FAMILY.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

...

Ever since it's launch in 1964, Tim Hortons has played a vital role in the Canadian culture. Recently, Tim Hortons decided to expand it's franchise and open restaurants in the United States. I'm sorry, but this is not right. Only Canadians understand the true beauty of a cup of Tim Hortons coffee. Only we can appreciate the deliciousness of the glorious doughnut.

A couple weeks ago my mother and I went down to Buffalo for the day to do a little bit of shopping and we went to Tim Hortons to get a quick bite to eat. While ordering my food, i saw something that made me so angry that i felt the need to cancel my order and immediately leave the restaurant.

So this is how us Canadians know Tim Hortons:


Beautiful is it not? Now, take a look and what Americans have done to our good old Tim Hortons.I apologize for any depression that maybe be inflicted on my readers once they read the following information.

In Tim Hortons in the States, they serve fountain drinks.

Thats right, fountain drinks!

The Company of Tim Hortons has been completely americanized. I know many of you are as appauled as I am. The Americans are ruining a great Canadian tradition. If reading this post made you upset, show your support. Follow my blog and leave a comment!

Well since i am a proud Canadian, I am going to finish my Tim Hortons coffee.

CIAO!

Is it worth it?

When most people think of faith, they think of religion. The dictionary defines faith as "a belief not based on proof". Pretty much it means that when we have faith in something, whether it be in a religion, a friendship, a cause or an engagment, we have confidence in it and will remain loyal to it. But why do we have faith? How can we be expected to put forth our trust in something without legitimate proof that the sacrifices that we make for it will be worth it?


Having faith in something is a risk we take. If it works out, it can be amazing. Especially if you have faith in a relationship and everything works out. It's the best feeling. But for every good thing that happens, a bad thing happens. What if things don't work out the way you want them too? Truth is, the results can be catastrophic. But it's in our nature to want the best and sometimes it's worth the risk. So what sacrifices have you all made for something you believe in.



Tell me about your faith. And answer this question...


Is it worth it?

the future holds good things for me

I love having a big family. They certainly give me lots of stories to tell my friends but i've gotten to a point where i can't stand them anymore! Tonight, for the first tme in about 5 weeks, i had the house to my myself. Let me tell you, those were 2 and a half hours of quietness, peacefulness and happiness. I just did whatever the fuck i wanted to do. I made my self a huge ass bowl of spaghetti and put on MTV all night. Whenever a familiar song came on, i sang to it. I didn't have to worry about people complaining about my terrible singing voice. The phone rang about 5 times but i couldn't be bothered to answer it.

Life was good.


Unfortunately, all good things come to an end. After two and a half hours of pure awesomeness, my grandmother and one of my brothers returned home and all that happiness and inner peace was immediately taken away. So i did what i normally do, retreat down to my basement bedroom (referred to as the dungeon by my family).


Im just so done with people nagging me and constantly telling me about my faults. Im not stupid, i know that im not perfect and just like everyone else i have faults. For now im best spending as much time as possible away from my house, and the rest of it in my own personal dungeon. Yeah, those are my plans for the summer =/

Oh well, in a couple years i shall be moved out and will spend alot less time with them. Thank god for crappy apartments. Looks like i'll be living in one in a couple years. Lol atleast it'll be my own place. You guy are all invited to my homewarming party.


cheers ;)

maybe my life isnt a never ending series of unfortunate events?

ask anyone, i hae the worst luck. just when things seem to be going good, something happens to ruin it. at this moment i would like to quote my wise friend kevin:

"shit happens... but alot of shit seems to happen to you. but don'y worry, it'll stop... eventually"

well todays events haven't necessarily changed these wise words but it has given me hope that maybe my life will not be a complete disaster. well i guess we all have a streak of bad luck, and im am just going through mine now? only time will tell.

sorry for no details, you guys are just gonna have to figure out my secret some other way.

Parting is such sweet sorrow

Heyy there bloggers! For those of you who didn't know, i'm a huge fan of old english literature (yeah, weird... i know). This, of course includes the works of the great William Shakespeare. In today's post, rather then boring you all with today's events, i would like to talk about one of my favourite Shakspeare quotes which happens to be from the play Romeo and Juliet. Just in case you can't read the cursive on the picture, i'll type it out for you below.

"Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say goodnight till' it be morrow."

I think that this quote is, if not the best then one of the best quotes in Romeo & Juliet. Those who don't believe in young love think that this love story is unrealistic, impulsive and completely naive. Well i'm not going to attempt to chnage their opinions because their right. Young love, in fact all kinds of love is naive and impulsive. We make decisions on impulse without properly thinking them through and can cause mistakes. also, when in love we take chances that make us seem naive. We hope for the best, but are never prepared for the worst.

Ever since the beginning of time, humans have saught inspiration for love from other people's stories, whether they be fictional or real. Personally, i find mine from various films and books but one of the most important ones is Romeo & Juliet. It shows unconditional love filled with passion. And when it all comes down to it, that's what us girls really want. Tue, passionate, unconditional love. Yep, it's as simple as that.

But why did I choose this quote? In my opinion it starts of the plot. While at the Capulet ball, Romeo and Juliet's eyes meet and it's love at first sight. Before leaving for the night, romeo says this quote. Once they are married, Romeo and Juliet fear the reality that they will have to face and the consequences to follow their decision. Their love is so strong that they never wish to be parted from each other because deep down they know that is a member of either family is to find out of their decision then they may never be reunited.

Yeah, so those are just my thoughts. Comment on your thoughts about whether or not you agree or disagree. I'm open to hearing new ideas and opinions. Hope you enjoyed it.

BON SOIRE MES AMIES!!!

i hate my job

alright, i know everyone bitches and complains about their job but no one has it worse then i do. first off all my boss is the fucking scariest person on the planet. she would make hitler shit his pants. when she calls my house and food basics is on the caller ID i get scared.

but the worst part is the customers. they will ALWAYS find something to complain about. god, like tonite somebody was undercharged and demanded that their groceries be free. i'm sorry but sane people don't complain about saving 30 cents.

so i deal with all these fucking insane customers but since "the customer is always right" you can't argue back with them because they might leave the store. i want them to leave. fucking stupid cunts. im sorry but whoever came up with that bullshit about the customer is always right is actually my fucking mortal enemy cause 99% of the time the customer is completely wrong

ugggh and while were talking about thos horrendous customers i would just like to mention that one of my biggest pet peeves is while i'm at working scanning peoples groceries and they tell me the prices of every single fucking thing there buying. umm, i'm sorry, but last time i checked I was the one in the ugly green polo and i was the one that has been working at the store for 9 months and probaly have a more knowledge on how to do my job... thanks.

and on top of all that bull shit theres those people that are so bored with their own pathetic lives that they need to create rumours and drama at work so everyone else can feel as miserable as they do. i'm sorry but i have a life and i only come to work to make money. they'll be people that i get along with and befriend and they'll be people that i don't get along with but i dont careabout them so much that i have to go out of my way to humiliate them.

im sorry but theres this one girl (who shall be referred to as the "queen bitch) who started a rumour that some girl was a lesbian and was in love with her. uggh you gotta be EXTREMELY ARROGANT, INCONSIDERATE & STUPID to do something like that. NOBODY likes the queen bitch so they obviously didn;t believe the rumour and just gained more reasons to hate her. excellent plan.

i know that north america is going through hard economical times and that I'm lucky to have a job and shouldn't be bitching about to people but i have to.

to the customers: when you come to my store, get your groceries pay for them and LEAVE. i don't want to hear your life story or get yelled at for a mistake someone else made. got a problem? great then take it up with the manager coz' i couldn't give two shis.
get it? got it? good

to the queen bitch: no one likes you. your lucky that you still even have a job because everyone is trying to get you fired. my advice? come to work , do your job and leave. don;t talk to anyone because no one wants to talk to you. and please stop asking me to give you my shifts because i would never want to cause my coworkers the pain of having to see you at a job that they already despise.

i know it's harsh, but it's the truth. alrite well that's enough bitching for one day. i'm gonna go watch a movie.

ADIOS!!!

woohooo exciting day... =/

hello people of the internet, it is day 2 of my blog. today, it's raining outside and this weather is kinda bringing me down. but not everything is awful, this morning i spent two glorious hours baking chocolate chip cookies and eating about half of the cookie dough. by then, my kitchen and I were covered in flour and cookie dough. atleast the cookies turned out well.

another reaosn why im upset, i'm getting a little tired of the music on my itunes so i've been looking for some new bands and songs but i haven;t had any luck. and to top off the day i get to work tonight at my job that i described in my previous entry. lol but as i said earlier life could be worse.

so last night i watched bridget jones diary for the very first time and i loved it (why did i get the feeling that i would be somewhat similar to he rwhen i'm older :S) i have the weirdest... i guess yu could call it a habit???, ever. whenever i watch movies i always think about which character i am most like and which characters are similar to various people in my life.

yeah... call me a weirdo. i'm proud of it =)

alrite so that's it for now

AUREVOIR!

im back

to start off i would like to say hello to my 0 followers, hmmm maybe if i actually start posting things daily i might get the number up to 2?

well forget everything i put on my first post coz it was complete bullshit. truth is, i cant really describe myself in a few words but i'll try my best for you guys. here it goes...

alrite so i have one of the crappiest jobs in the world. im a cashier at a grocery store called Food Basics which just happens to be located in the ghettoest mall in mississauga (technically it is a mall but i consider it aplaza considering that the only stores that receive buisness are the pharmacy, the grocery store, and about 5 chain fast food restaurants) those of you reading have a visual of this horendous place that i am forced to go to. what us teenagers do for money

hmmmm, well when people get to know me they think im this huge party girl. lmao i wish, i mean i love to party but my parents dont let me do shit. oh well, the world better look out because in 3 years and 3 months i will be legal and im telling you, i will fuck shit up :)

ok, so my family is fuckin psycho, i'll try to give you descriptions of it's mmbers. so theres my father (my least favourite person) hes close minded, hardworking, bossy and... well he just pissed me off. we dont exactly see eye to eye if you know what i mean

then theres my mother, the woman who on october 13th, 1994 gave me the gift of life. shes just insane. im so much like her. she gets stressed alot but has a huge heart and always puts others before herself. she loves to laugh and have a good time. something i respect about her: shes bhonest, she speaks her mind and if she gives you a compliment she damn well means it

so im the eldest child and have 3 younger siblings. theres jonathon who is one year younger then me. he kinda keeps to himself and is shy and has an xbox addiction. he doesnt have alot of confidence and hasnt had much success in anything hes done so far in his life but i have a feeling that one day he'll grow up and find his thing.

then theres jacob, the sibling most like me who i also happen to be the closest with. were both super competitive, have good sense of humours and are social. jacob will become a millionaire. im convinced that he will become a famous sports agent. and hes already had like 5 girlfriends even though he hasnt even started highschool. one day hes gonna fall in love and hes gonna treat the girl amazingly

and last but not least, theres laura. shes 5 years younger then me and will be starting middleschool this september. shes daddys little girl. completely spoiled and protected. she will give my mother a hard time as a teenager. shes has like a million friends and is smart in a manipulative way. lol but she can be a sweetheart if she wants to i guess.

alrite, so ive told you about my crappy ass job, my dillusional family and how am super excited to be legal in just over 3 years (lol not like that will stop me :P) btw im warning you all now that i dont plan on spellchecking these things because then im gonna change stuff and i really want this blog to be as honest as possible. i know i didnt talk alot about me but you'll hear about it soon enough. but enough for one nite. its 3:12 am and im sitting alone in my room eating m&ms oh well i guess life could be worse.

well goodnite to the people on the internet, wherever you maybe in the world. expect to be hearing from me soon bitches.

HASTA LA VISTA!!!

(btw im not spanish but i thought it would be fun to end every post in a different language)
