My Life  It's been a really long time since I've last posted. I mean, I REALLY long time. As of right now, I'm enjoying my last few weeks in Canada. I come back on August 14th. So far, in Canada, I've swam, went to the gym a whole bunch of times, went to visit my grandparents house for 4 days (which consisted of sitting around and doing nothing) and that's about it. But, on the 5th we are going to visit my cousins, which will be great fun since I only get to see them once a year anyways. I'm looking forward to going back home again though, even if two days after I get back I have to retake the Math B regents. Fun, oui? I really hope I'll pass it this time. I think I will. All it is, is positive thinking. And studying. Which I probably should be doing right now. But I'm not. I recently bought the movie Rent...and the soundtrack to it, and it has been making me very happy. Now all I need is the OBC recording of Rent, and my life will be complete. Ah...that movie...the message is so wonderful. No day but today. I really think I should live by that from now on. It really made me realize that I should embrace everything that happens in my life, even if it is bad. But, I don't want this whole update to be about me ranting about Rent the whole time. Yet, I was thinking about it and I think I realized one thing. I remember my mom talking to me about schools I'd want to go to for college, and she brought up Julliard. Now, don't get me wrong, I love performing and the arts in general. And Julliard would be amazing place to go to. Even though I doubt I'd get in, but it's nice to dream isn't it? Anyways, when I was thinking about it, I guess I got a little scared. I wasn't sure why, but then Rent brought it to my attention. What if I went to Julliard, but then when I finished there I couldn't find a job. Then the Bohemian life comes up. Even though I find it kind of as an exciting idea, that type of life...I wouldn't want that. I guess I'm scared that if I went to a school that focuses just on the fine arts, I wouldn't have anything for back up. Something that would give me an income. I don't know if that's a silly thing to think about. But I do think about it. And it's not like the Bohemian way of living is a bad thing....it just really not what I want. Wow...I didn't know that I was thinking about that THAT much. Heh. And it's not even something I should be worried about, because I know what I want to go to school for now. At least for the moment. And now..for some silly things. Because I like silly things. Ten Top Trivia Tips about Stephanie!
Hahaha....I really didn't know all of that stuff about my self. It made me giggle....alot. And here's my sisters facts just for the hell of it. Ten Top Trivia Tips about Jessica!
Current mood:  contemplative.
I'm in Health class right now, and we were just working on our weights and all that. And now I feel overwieght. Extremely overweight. Ugh. Now I know I really have to do something about this. Who wants to come to the gym with me a whole bunch this week? Anyways, I went to the gym with Rachel and Nora yesterday. It was pretty fun. I'm not sure how long me and Rachel were on the ellipticals for, but it was a really long time. I felt the burn. And then I went home and watched the Olympics and folded clothes. Well, I'd better go now. Current mood:  depressed.
I went tubing today with Anna and Emily. It was ALOT of fun. I don't know how many times we went up that hill and back down again. All I know is that the guys at the top got to know us pretty well. One of them kept on making fun of my hat. It was a Boston Red Socks hat...and he was obviously a Yankees fan. I'm actually not a fan of either. But here's a little secret. I was rooting for the Red Socks to win the World Series last year. So, after we finished tubing we went to Blue Ribbon Diner for lunch. They have some pretty good food there. I had a nice talk with Anna and Emily about Valentine's Day and what we wanted to do with our life's when we were older. It is really nice to talk about those things once in a while. Get my thoughts out into the open. It makes me feel alot better. So, after that we brought them home, and watched them for 5 minutes trying to get into their house. And then I came home. I really want to do something else today, but I'm not sure what yet... And I got my drivers permit a couple of weeks ago! I've driven once since then, which was a pretty interesting experiance. Me and my step-dad were coming back from Ellis Hospital (where my mom works), and we ended up stopping in the High School parking lot. "Guess what you get to do, Steph!" "Nope, I don't want to. Anyway's, I didn't bring my permit, so I can't drive. Ha." *reaches into coat pocket and brings out permit* "Oh...crap..." So I was forced into driving around the parking lot a couple of times. It wasn't that bad, except I wasn't even using the gas pedal, so we were moving very slowly. And then a car came into the parking lot, and I panicked with a lot of, "Car, car, car, a cars coming, car, car." After that I just drove across the street and parked in our driving. So I guess it was a good first lesson in driving. And that's about it. Current mood:  peaceful.
Well, I figured I'd make an entry, just because it's been so long. Life has been going great for me. School is good, and much better than last year. Homecoming was fun...even though I didn't have much to do during it. But that's my problem, and not anyone elses. And just yesterday I had my first paying gig with Anna and Emily. We played at our friend Courtney's grandfathers retirement/birthday party. It was alot of fun, and we got to have really good food. One of the coolest parts of the evening was when Courtney's grandfather came up to thank us and said that there was a show for young performers and he was going to mention us to them. :0 We also got to play our solos when the people at the party were actually listening. And I think I did very well. And also, I'm playing in the pit for Pippin. I must say, that it makes me extremely happy. Actually, I think my mom was happier than I was. I really enjoy rehearsals, and it's sad that we only have it on Mondays and Wednesdays. I was actually kind of shocked when Mr. Hyatt asked me to play, since I honestly think that there are better flute players in Wind than me. But he chose me for a reason, and I think that's pretty cool. Current mood:  accomplished.
Current mood:  exhausted.
Ah, I just spent my...third weekend at my Auntie's house. And I got to taste rum muahahahaha. I also got to watch my mom and Aunt get drunk. Funny stuff. I must say, my cousin Kendra has to be the cutest little child I have ever seen. She kept on sitting on my lap and making funny faces at me. And she gave me lots o' hugs! ^^ I had the challenging job of trying to keep her out of my parents room, and to do that, I had to tell her a secret. So I told her something silly about my belly button. And then I asked her to tell me a secret. And she said, "Guess what....I have a belly buttin too!" Now THAT's a secret. Now, one thing I have to rant about for a second. Why is it, that when I go to visit my dad in Canada, that they conveniently forget to tell me very big news? Like my cousin getting married, or...here's the big one...that my Aunt and Uncle's house burned down. That's kind of cruel to not let me know. But I do know that they just wanted us to enjoy our vacations...and luckily our Aunt, Uncle and two cousins weren't in the house when it burned down, so that's very VERY good. Wow...I can't really think of anything else to say. So...that's it. Current mood:  tired.
Well, I just got back from my grandparents house. And if I thought that I was already in the mountains, well, their farm is DEFINITLY in the mountains. But the weather was very nice. I remember on the first day we got there, I kept on saying that I gave the weather "two thumbs up." Anyways, the first day there we went to see the RCMP Musical Ride. (The RCMP is the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.) That was a great show. There was an hour of opening entertainment, which consisted of a marching band, a dog show (which was hilarious), and a dance team. Then we watched the Musical Ride, which is basically some of the RCMP riding to music, and doing alot of fancy things. Afterwards the MC for the evening said, "When the riders come to the edge of the arena, you can come down and pet a horse and talk to the Mounty. Or...you can talk to a horse and pet a Mounty." After that I kept on going on about how I wanted to pet the Mounty, but sadly, I couldn't reach him...but he was good looking. And from Montreal. Hehe. After that we kind of just stayed around the farm..it wasn't that exciting. But I did play alot of Badminton with my sister, and played with my grandparents dog. And now we're back....so I guess that's all for now. Current mood: tired.
Well, long time no entry. I'm in Canada right now, as most of you know. I've had a pretty good time so far. I went to Kingston for a day and spent the day with my two cousins, Katrina and Kendra. I think I'm Kendra's new best friend. She's so cute. She kept on sitting next to me on the floor and telling me that she was 4 years old, and telling me secrets. XD She also tried to pull a Houdini in the car. Luckily, I got an idea of putting my hand over the seatbelt so she couldn't undo it. She tried to pull my hand away, but I insisted that it was stuck, and how she needed to help me pull it out. She was pretty strong, but I was stronger and I kept it there until my Auntie Lorie and my mom came out. Then I "magically" made my hand move again. It was brilliant. On the 23rd, me and my sister got on a plane to Calgary where my dad picked us up. We then went to my other cousins, Ryan and Melissa, house for two days. I didn't really hang out with Ryan that much, which was too bad since he's the same age as me. Me and Melissa played our flutes. Melissa is pretty good for someone who has only been playing for a year. We also went to Calaway Park (we being me, my sister, Melissa, my dad, and my Auntie Bonnie) which is one cool amusement park. I loved this ride called Chaos, and Melissa told me that I was luckily that Ryan wasn't there, since I would have been stuck with him, and he makes the ride swing more than it needs to. We also had a lovely conversation about Hawaiin pizza while we were flying every which way. So after all that fun, my, my sister and my dad went to West Edmonton Mall, which is one of the biggest malls in the world. I love listening to people talking there, since there's such a variety of accents. There was one guy who had this British accent, and he kept on saying "Yeah?" at the end of almost every sentence. he was a very persuasive seller. "So you want one, yeah?" "I'll give you two for one, yeah?" "So the reds yours, yeah? And the silvers yours?" "And I'll put these batteries in both of your bags, yeah?" Ah, that was one of the coolest accents I've ever heard. I also heard alot of Scottish accents too. Actually, the guy who was starting the Sea Lion show there, had a Scottish accent, and he kept on bugging this one guy in the audience who was Irish. We also went to the Water Park, and the Amusement Park which are both in the mall. I bought two things, too. A book (The Mists of Avalon) and a game (Age of Mythology). AND we saw three movies. One for every night we spent in the mall. On the first night we saw Wedding Crashers, on the second night we say Bad News Bears, and on the third night we saw Fantastic Four. They were all good movies. I loved Johnny Storm in the Fantastic Four. He was lovely. XD I just wish that that movie was alittle bit longer. It felt like it ended to quickly. Oh well. When we left West Edmonton Mall, we went back to Ryan and Melissa's and this time a hung around with Ryan, my dad, my Uncle Kevin and my Auntie Bonnie. Ryan's hair is so curly...I think it's almost an afro now. At least it's getting there. And I actually thing he gave me a compliment...well at least I took it as a compliment, but now that I think about it he was just kind of saying the truth. What happened was that my Auntie Bonnie asked me about how much homework I get. And I said that it depended on what classes I had, but it usually wasn't that bad. Then Ryan said, "And this is coming from someone who is in all the advanced classes. See, I don't need to study since I'm in the retarded classes." I almost wanted to slap him, since I don't like it when anyone calls themselves retarded. We also ate fish for dinner. It was very good. ^^ I don't know why when I passed Ryan the buns he gave me this odd look. What's odd about passing food. Eh..I'll figure it out. Maybe. Then we started to head home, to lovely Sparwood. Lovely...not very exciting Sparwood. After about three hours we finally saw the sign that said "Welcome to Sparwood." and we started to talk about it. Then my dad said that the sign should actually say, "Haha sucker, you're in Sparwood." Now that phrase won't leave my head. Well, that's about all for now, so when something else interesting happens, I'll right about it. Current mood:  chipper.
 Which HP Kid Are You? Current mood:  amused.
