Questions, Questions, Questions...
I don't know what it is lately but it seems as though everything is becoming a question. Once upon a time i had all the answers to anything i needed,
favorite color? Purple.
Project due? next Week.
Best friends? tons :).
But now it seems as though every answer has another question.
Will i get a good average? Will you pass math?
Do you like him? Does he like you?
What will you do? What do you like to do?
it seems almost impossible to do anything without thinking of something else. like every thing i run into I'm hit with another wall. Hmmm... I'm slowly discovering that life is much more complicated than it seems. Or maybe im just losing my mind.... :S Oh the sweet joys of being a teenager.

November 11 2010
Today was a great day to think and meditate over everything that has happened throughout history. It is as everyone should know remembrance day! So in honor of this day and in memory of everyone and anyone who was affected by war, I decided to write a poem, here it goes.
We Rose At Light
Together we stand,
A Fortress, strong,
our fears awakened,
all time is gone,
we rise at light,
we stand, we fight,
to save the souls,
from terror and plight,
stumbling from ground to ground,
we cannot see with blinding sound,
earths shatter and lives drop spent,
this is but a consequence,
thoughts of lives form the past,
children, mothers waiting back,
tears shed in utter anguish,
it doesn't make it any less,
but we won! and fought for life,
no battle sought or earthly plight,
compares to this, our pact to peace,
when arms went down and fighting ceased,
Together we stood,
a fortress, strong,
our fears awoke,
but that time is gone,
and now our memory does stay,
for those who live here everyday,
we ask but one simple quest,
remember this,
LEST WE FORGET.

Sorry!!! D:
I Know, I know,
its been a long time since my last post..... err, a few months...ish. Im kinda mad at myself because i wanted to oh so very badly continue with this lovely blogging site, so im now making a blogging vow to myself to at least post something three times a week. Every day was a bit much for me, (especially now with school and whatnot....) so i have decided three times a week should be good :) Again i am truly sorry for my absolutely busy life!
So whats new with me? Not too much, been busy as usual, hating math, (But this will be an extremely long sob story so I'll save that for another post.), working on writing the soundtrack of my schools entry in this years drama festival!!!! (Whoot whoot!) Once again joined showchoir, enviornmental, chaplaincy, council of presidents, OSAID, and was asked to be on the arts council. ( which has some pretty neat ideas this year.) On top of that i am volunteering Tuesdays, working on a play with another church, (not mine, but my mothers friends) AAANNNDDDD, i work at the library. All of this plus making time for my social life, but of course because of university in two years, school is definitely my first priority. :)
As you can see from the above paragraph, i am utterly swamped. D: but it isnt so bad, because (as you can see) I still have a spare moment while i study for tomorrows geography, (yuck :( ) test i have a spare moment to share my thoughts. :). Well hope you enjoyed my random tid bits on my life. Hope you have an awesome day.... umm... night! I am so looking forward to reading everyone's blogs again! I missed this site! Happy Blog Reunion!

My Heart Skipped a Beat
August 1st
(This is what basically happened today, this and I went to an amazingly fun wedding! So yes this was a part of an email sent to a friend explaining my Sunday morning at mass.)
Oh my goodness!
Today was terrifying! I sing every week in the church choir and I went to churh as usual at 8 to practice for the 8:30 mass. So I'm there we get through all the songs for mass except the psalm, because the organ player hadn't arrived yet. We wait, and wait, finally there is five minutes until the mass is due to start and someone tips them off that I play piano....
The piano, is not the organ.
*shudders* this thing had three rows of keys and like ten pedals! When I went through it the first time I went to hit the pedal to hold the notes so it would sound pretty, but that "pedal" turned out to be the thing that controls the volume, ten pedals, and I hit the only one that does that... oh good lord. In five minutes I learnt the song. I was so lucky that the psalm this week was in the key of c. No sharps or flats and I practically had sight read the entire thing while playing it I was so scared. My eye was twitching I had like a cold sweat my entire body shaking except weirdly enough my Hands and arms were perfectly still... Anyways I played the entire thing with no mistakes!!! And next week if the guy still isn't there I am up for round two... My lord this will be a day I will always remember.

6 hours of Nothing
July 30th
Oh my goodness gracious, today had to be the longest day ever. As I think I mentioned in the last post, my moms steering fuel line in her car cracked, so today we spent practically the entire day waiting for it to be repaired. We made it to the shop and dropped off the car, the guy said it would take a couple hours to get it done so we decided to walk to Tim Horton's. We got there had some breakfast and chilled, two hours later we get a phone call, thinking that her car was done my mom answered it. Turned out it was going to take a lot longer than they initially thought. By this point my mom doesn't care she just needs her car done so that we can continue with out lives. So we wait. An hour goes by, no big deal, we're playing cards and having coffee. two hours go by, still everything is fine. Three hours go by, and we start to get worried. Four hours comes by and we figure we should leave the coffee shop, considering we've been there longer than some of these peoples shifts. So we go back to the shop and finally the call us up. It was 6 and a bit hours of absolutely nothing! Had we known we would have taken a cab to the movies or something, that was ridiculous! Anyways that was basically my day, sitting playing cards.

Interview #2
July 29th
Today I had quite a few things going on at once. the major important thing that I was really excited/frightened/worried/nervous about was my job interview for the library. this was m second interview, the first was at a different branch and they passed me on to this branch because it is easier for me to get to, but if i don't get the job here then I will still definitely have a job at the other branch, so I wasn't worried, but I was all at the same time. Also after my interview I went to the movies with one of my best friends, who I also had to give the money for my Wicked ticket, (Her mom got us frot row seats!!!!! SQUEE!)
Anyways everything went well, the interview was awesome, but I thought it was a little strange tat the lady, (krista) Interviewing me introduced me to the staff, (she didn't do this with the girl before me...) So I hope that that was a good sign. On the down side, I forgot my folder at one of the desks there, which really sucks, because I was trying to leave a good impression, so that sort of sucked, but its okay I guess.
the movies was fun, my awesomely awesome friend and I saw Inception for the second time, and it makes so much more sense now. You know I don't really like Leonardo DiCaprio, but he was pretty good in that movie. So That was fun, other than that and my mothers car breaking down, (Steering fluid line cracked) everything was pretty good.
