Happy Halloween!

Just wanted to wish you all a very spook-tastic Halloween! Here's my halloween costume:

Have an amazing time out there, but stay safe! :)

Happy Halloween!

Star Trek with hot guys

Ah... Spock. I love thee. I have to say I approve of filling a generally nerdy movie full of highly attractive men. And much to most of our displeasures, Spock gets the girl instead of Kirk, which makes us all sad because we all secretly want Mr. Pointy Ears.

Sigh. But I suppose I can't have everything I want (although sometimes I wish I just got something) and I have little regret settling to wicked 17 year old Russian guy (I really don't remember his name...) for his sheer attractiveness and awesomeness. And Karlene wants Scotty over Russian guy (wait... his name was Khercof or something like that...) so it all works out wonderfully.

OH! I was telling Kyle earlier about how I completely approve of them filling the movie with hot guys, but then he asked if I even found old Spock attractive. My answer? God dammit man, it's Spock! Who cares what he looks like, his awesomeness just... just... ah...

Damn... so we're having this debate over who wins now... Kirk or Picard... which I really think is a battle between the awesome of Spock and Data (ah Spock, yes I'm biased) and not so much their respective captains.

Anyways, the damn was for the fact that I lost... I voted Kirk in favour of Spock, and Jess picked Picard (I'm assuming for Data). Oh... she says it's for Picard's epic awesomeness and his bad ass voice... but anyways...

The Librarian picked Kirk too (ftw!!!) but I was completely just trumped by Mr. Delodder's choice of Picard, which Delodder's choice trumping all opinions. Jess says he's supreme overloard, he is pretty epic I must admit.

So we're completely distracted by Star Trek videos on the internet now... so I'm going to have to leave you all with that obscure review of an epic remake.

Spock, I love you too!

The Inside Ride

I will not neglect. I will not neglect. I will not neglect.

Anyways... yeah.

Today I wanted to tell you about an epic event I participated in last night called The Inside Ride. What it is is an event where teams bike on a stationary bike for five minutes each, with the goal of biking across Canada with the total of kilometers of all participants.

It was way a lot of fun and we raised $30 000 all together!!! Incredible event. Our team's name was THE NERD BRIGADE!! I brought in my light sabers and everything. Here's a picture:

There's me, Erika, Jared, and Kyle. XD Livi's missing... she's off somewhere... I might post a better picture once they're up on good old facebook.

Anyways the point of the event is to raise money for kids with cancer. There's a kid who used to go to our school who has cancer, so we're supporting them. I didn't know him. So what did I do it for? Because every kid deserves to grow up to be and inspiration to others. :)

Check out the Inside Ride website for more information on hosting your own Inside Ride event. ^^

Busy Busy Busy

So I have very little time to talk, I'm already cutting in to my snack time, and I still haven't found Mr. Mol, or Murphy. Both of whom I need to find before the Inside Ride tomorrow.

For all you not familiar with the Inside Ride event, it's a stationary biking competition to raise money for kids with cancer. Our school is raising money for some kid on the French side name Mitch (I don't know him), but all the same I'm on a team. GO NERD BRIGADE!!!

So that's tomorrow. I went shopping for my halloween costume this weekend, and had my share of adventures when I had to cross the floor to the guys side to find a blank t-shirt. There were literally NO t-shirts on the girl's side fo Wal-Mart. This experience has scarred me slightly, but it's for a halloween costume, so it doesn't make much difference.

So yeah, I ironed on my words "Freak of Nature" on to my t-shirt...

Holy cheese!! The bells gonna ring in two minutes and I gotta grab philosophy stuffs yet, so I gotta go.

ttfn sunshines,

Updates, Updates

Bonjour

So you've probably noticed a change in the look of the blog... I'm trying to add more pictures and things, and less text, because although text is epic, it's not very catchy. Well, unless it's bright red or yellow, then it's just annoying.

Other than that, I'm thouroughly sick now. My pudding brain is starting to solidify into concrete, taking any sort of rational thought with it. I feel top heavy.

But I have to write that stupid philosophy test anyways. And my moral towards it was significantly lessened after Writer's Craft this morning. This new teacher is starting to irritate me. She's really closed minded toward writing, even though she thinks she's not. We read a Lenard Cohen poem today (yeah, I know, great choice for a Catholic School), and she went off on how you can't write unless you know his stuff by heart. Hello? What happened to the Shakespeare insults of the day before? I was loving you for that.

And it's really biased that she tells us all this about this Cohen guy. I really didn't like the poem. It was good, I'll admit, but it was repetitive in a boring way. I had to read it several times before I found something I liked. But she's just drooling over the thing like we'll fail if we hate it. Naturally I said nothing, but I think she surmoused enough of my feeling toward it through my analytical responses.

ANd why are we analysing it? This isn't english (ok, yeah it's an english course), but it's WRITER'S CRAFT. I want to WRITE. We've been doing all analysing shit in English (we haven't even read a book yet!)

Errr... she's getting on my nerves. That, and under her, I'm probably going to fail.

Enough ranting. Big cookie time!!! (I wonder if this will change my outlook towards the Philosophy test?)

Oh Philosophy, how thouest does melt my brain.

Ugh.

So I really should have taken today off. But I didn't. Because I'm stupid...

I'm feeling like my brain is pudding (which does that physics sound wave thing when I tap it, then proceeds to make my brain hurt because I thought about physics). I'm getting sicker (is that a word?) each day, and I have a philosophy test tomorrow that I really should be studying for. I'm just scared that I'll wake up tomorrow so thoroughly hateful that I won't be able to write my test and focus on it. SO I think I really should have taken today off to sleep and study... I have a PD day to catch up on my work...

But did I? No. I didn't. *headdesk*

I'm supposed to be studying for Philosophy right now on my spare, but I'm totally distracted. I think some of that pudding just melted an important part of my brain... a co-herant part. I'm not too worried though, we have half a period in philosophy to study today.... ugh... that is, if I actually study.

What else. Well not much. The Sparks were wonderful last night and they rekindled my love of Robert Munsch stories, and I got to practice my storytelling skills reading Mud Puddle (sadly I don't own Murmel Murmel Murmel, which is my favourite.) I'm gonna have to go to the library and get some halloween books. Or maybe I'll write one with actions because the Sparks can't sit down that long.

I can feel the sides of my head caving in, and I'm scared it's gonna run out through my nose and ears, so I'm going to go study for Philosophy now (which will completely melt whatever is left). :P

Need sleep... *drones*
