What to type, what to type

... I donno, the blog was just looking a little forlorn and I needed to wind down after work... hmmm... lesse... I guess I should start off by saying that I'm still alive (despite all efforts to change that fact :P) and that I had an absolutely awesome summer and learnt a whole bunch of stuff about... well everything... but, mostly who I am... Thanx to everyone who was part of it, I love you guys and I wish I'd gotten to know you all better (and stayed up latter and hung out more... stupid needing sleep lol)... nah.. Spain and France were awesome though... as was England with my mother... the rest of the summer (or what was left of it) was pretty good too...
... then came this year... THE year... and school... and work (which is actually lots of fun)... and yeah... and Dance which feels crazy empty with only the five of us who are left... and just loads and loads of stuff... it's all good tho, I'm enjoying it... Not quite sure how coherent this blog is... but *shrug* whatever... it's me :D

... hmmm... I think I'll leave the actual details and fun stuff for next time... much too tired to make sense... and tomorrow is the stair climb!!! WooHOO!!! soo much fun :P... heehee 1776... and I hope it still only takes me 29 mins with my body as screwed up as it is... hmmm.. I should prolly get dome sleep... nah... anyways... I'm off to stretch...

The horribly busy but still lazy,

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!

... So why is it that everyone complains when I don't blog, but no one can be bothered to comment when I do??? :P.

Anyways, I figured I should do an update sometime before I left, and considering that I leave Sunday, I figured now would be a good time to do it *looks shifty*... So yeah, I survived Gr 11. Had fun on all of my exams, especially physics which I learnt the morning of... and bio which I finished in 20mins and annoyed the class enough to beg Mr Rooney to let me out early :D... and then allow me to look over the answer sheet :D... Recital was also fun. Not as good as last year's, and I don't so much like having two shows but, *shrug*, still good.
... not much else exciting has happened... went bowling, saw madagascar - which isn't nearly as good as Mr & Mrs Smith which is just, plain, awesome... had fun at Alan's party and played around in the pool and hot tub - yes, I know it's summer :P... got my marks... average was 88.5% so I'm rather happy :)... uh... relaxed... relaxed some more... finally read & saw Fight Club, which was also an awesome movie (must have something to do with Brad Pitt :D)... Read Tuesday's With Morrie which is a great book that everyone should read... read Canticle for Leibowitz which was also fun... ...uh... basically I read alot while lying on my back porch... Ju came over, we did a movie/sleep over night... then last night some neighbours down the street did fireworks ( it was a day early so who knows why...) so Jenny, Christine and I had fun watching those and being eaten alive by mosquitoes *wrinkles nose*.
... so yeah... I finally got my nice, relaxing and uneventful week... the one that I've been dying for almost all year... very, very Happy!!! :D... and now, I'm off to Spain & France (& England) for the summer to do Philosophy and Engliush Lit in summer school - and yes, I know I'm going to spain and france for english :P.

Hope everyone has an awesome summer. Take lots of pictures and remember lots of embarassing stories. I'll c-ya when I get back.
Lot's of Love,
Ally

FUN-NESS!!!

... it's odd how I always end up blogging when I really should be writing essays... I mean, really, it's still writing... meh *shrug*...

... anyways... the past two weeks have been absolutely crazy... Music banquet on the 26th was sooo much fun... you wouldn't think so, but it was awesome... I went as one of Langan's three dates... which was just pure jokes... especially when the teachers started teasing him about not knowing what to do with us... then picture day at the studio all weekend... which was actually a hell of a lot calmer then usual... of course, I just found out that the last four rolls of film got screwed so we have to shoot them all over again... not all that surprising - something was bound to go wrong :P...
Tuesday was Athletic banquet... I honestly didn't think it was possible for awards presenters to talk for that long... anyways... it was fun seeing everyone all dressed up... (again for those of us who went to music) and everyone looked SOOO pretty... damn Kelly and her gorgeous dress... no one should be allowed to look that hot :P... lol...
... Then it was thursday... OMG... thursday!... thursday was prom... I didn't go... so I get home from dance, shower, stretch and get to bed at around eleven thirty... at 1:30 am I was woken up by Corey phoning me to tell me that the after party had started... then Kav called to tell me the same thing as I was stumbling 'round the house trying to get dressed... OMG!!! the after party was sooo funny... soo many ppl were sooo smashed/stoned/both... *shakes head* awww, man, it was great... I kept getting yelled at for not being drunk ... lol... it was soo good... dammit! I'm soo gonna miss all of you guys when you're not around next year!... anyways so we watched the sun rise... talked about sleeping... and never went to bed... let me tell you, trying to understand physics and reading drama lines after not having had sleep in over 40hrs does not work. at all. I'm surprised my notes are as coherent as they are... so anyways.. got home friday night... went to bed... and woke up in time to be at work at the studio at 8:30 saturday morning... I sooo need more sleep... especially since I didn't get home from Langan's b-day party until 11:30 last night... heehee... that was fun too!... omg, that half of a dog-statue-thing is absolutely hysterical... we sooo needed a camera for that!!! ... *sigh* *shakes head* ... it was sooo great tho... I sooo wouldn't've changed what I did for the world...

... so yeah... I'm kinda dead right now... kinda, very dead... especially with all of the crazy amount of summatives I have going on... I had three in class exams in a row on tuesday... and I've had soo many projects and I assignments that I don't remember half of them... and I'm not invited to math luncheon this year *pouts* I missed being in the top 25 percentile for the Cayley contest by two points... two points ... ah well, whatever...

OOOH!!! Queen's! I almost forgot Queen's!!! omg... how could I have... it was amazingly fun... I transferred half way through from Biology of Human Behavior into Drama Improv... I got bored after three hours about neurons... honestly... we only really needed the first half hour or so to understand... anyways... it was still awesome... and kareoke was crazy fun... the dance was pretty lame... but meh *shrug* didn't exactly expect anything more... lmao! omg... Kavvy!!! I love Kav... she totally got Leila's Football... our game ball... stuck on the roof for like 2 days... we had fun tho... it was soo great... ooh and in football (flag) we actually came in 3rd in the league... 3rd!... before this year... the woburn girls had scored 2 points in 2 years... so yeah it was amazing... and I had sooo much fun... we were such a great group... we soo have to do it again next year... only next year we wont have Webby and Tamara and Alison... and awww, noo, :'( ... I'll miss you guys, it soo wont be the same...

soo... uh yeah... that's pretty much it... that and the 3 more assignments, 1 more scene study, 5 more exams and 3 dance shows I still have to do... I soo can't believe that this year is over soo fast... I mean... it feels like it just started... I remember how, at the beginning, I had fun, but I didn't feel like I was really enjoying myself... and it still felt like it was going fast... but now... it just feels like it's gone too fast... and I had sooo much fun... and there are soo many people that I'm really going to miss... especially with dance... can you really believe that it's almost over? ...
...*shakes head*... I love the feeling of building up to something, of having all this stuff that needs to be done... and then having it happen and just feeling satisfied and happy... but at the same time, it kinda feels like everything is just... ending... and it's kinda scary... especially the fact that I'm gonna be in gr12... that's gotta be the scariest thing... it makes me feel soo... old... I mean, I always knew that I would get there someday... but... I still feel like I'm 15/16 yrs old... like I'm only in gr10... not like I'm almost done gr11 and have my own car... it's... rather... mind boggling... and all those ppl that I've known for so long who are going away... I really am gonna miss you guys...

So... yeah... I should prolly be off to write about the Etruscans...
Hopefully I'll be able to blog again sometime soon.
Ally

P.S. OMG!!! I almost forgot!!! I made it onto next years SAC as an assistant!!! and Congrats to Kavita for getting VP and Arini and Roshne for getting Gr12 reps!!!

*Is all excited*

 Look!Look! I'm actually blogging!!! and it hasn't even been six months yet!!! lol :P... but, no, really... I'm supposed to be writing an English essay on the Heroic Identity... but I got lazy and decided I'd come check out my blog and... well... write here instead *shifty eyes* ...wow... it's been soooo long since I did an actual proper blog that I've practically forgotten how to do one! *gasp* ...

hmmm... where to start... so far this year's been pretty good... the total-science-math-focus/lack-of-humanity-essay-writing-thing took a lil' getting used to... and my marks still aren't great (tho I had a 98 in history for a while there :)... it sorta died tho... might a been those assignments I didn't fully do *looks innocent*) but, no, I'd don't think I can complain... fall and winter were pretty good... my Elementary Jazz exam went well... it was actually rather fun... ... OOOH!!! and I got to see "Jesus Christ Superstar" while it was in town!!! which totally rocked... and the Tap Dogs too!!! OMG, they were AMAZING!!! I sooo wish I could do that!!! "Little Dragon" was good as well... oooh... and I saw Cirque's "Allegria" this summer, which was really, really good...
... My mom and I went on a cruise of the south Carribean for new years, which was pretty awesome... we had great weather, and the ship was massive!!! it had like 14 stories... and, of course, I insisted on always taking the stairs... I always beat my mom and the elevators too!:P ... it was really cool tho... it had absolutely everything!!! including a little shopping street-like thoroughfare... I kept calling it vegas on a ship... Our days at sea were sooo great and involved me alternatively lying on a deck chair reading, and swimming in the ocean-fed pool... the nightlife was pretty good too, especially 'cause there was a rediculously large ammount of ppl my age onboard... our land days were equally great w/ hiking in San Maarten, snorkling and sightseeing in St Thomas, off roading in Aruba, and shopping/sightseeing and snorkling in Curacao... aww man, snorkling is awesome!!! I'd never done it before, and I panic if I'm wearing the mask above water, but once you're in there, it's absolutely amazing!!! I totally loved it!
I swear, falling asleep to the rhythm of the waves is absolutely one of the most relaxing things in the world... it was really great too 'cause the only rough day was New Year's Eve... there was a storm and the ship was rocking like crazy, but it was sooo much FUN!!!

So anyways, I came back from that with a killer tan... and a much more relaxed and happier attitude (which I'd somehow lost at some point this year, though no one seemed to noticed) ... winter funness continued on... Gillian and I spent quite a few Friday nights skating w/ppl at the rink and Ju and I had sooo many movie nights... Exams went pretty well.... and, OMG! we had sooo much fun dragging the guys out to go skiing on one of our free days!!! It was sooo great!!! there ended up being like 8 of us... *shakes head* we totally need to do that again next year!!!... aw man... and then there was March Break... which was late this year... I can't believe the snow actually stayed!!! I was sooo excited! I spent the first half of the break skiing up at blue mountain w/my cousins (not exactly the rockies but, hey, skiing is skiing) ... we had an awesome time skiing uncut trails through the trees and doing a natural half pipe... until we got cought and "warned" *looks innocent* really, there weren't any barriers!... so what if the trees were nearly impassible??? lol... it was all good tho... 'cause the "W"s written on my cousins' passes were very, very easy to rub off... but, yeah... so I basically spent most of the week crashing into trees and going over insane jumps... (on a hamstring with partially torn muscle fibre - which is a painful fact that I'm still trying to ignore :P) ...

OMG!!! how could I have forgotten!!! I finally got my G2... and I'm legally allowed to drive anywhere, anytime... and guess what came with that lovely little piece of plastic???... keys to a brand new 2005 Mazda3 GS model sedan!!!!... oooh, how I love my baby... and how I'd love her even more if I had money for gas *looks pleadingly toward mother* but, no, it's all good... after all, I have a car!!!.... scary ain't it?

... hmmm let's see... I don't know that I have any other news... oh... I went to the Kiwanis Dance Festival w/Jazzworks (Woburn's Jazz dance team) and we got a silver... we lost the gold by 1% 'cause we were wearing hats *pouts*... but it was still a pretty cool experience... ... and oooh... lol... I'm now known around the school as "that ditzy cheerleader"... for my role in my schools "Spirit Week" Assembly... man, was that skirt ever short! I totally LOVE acting that stupid... it's so fun and liberating!!! ... I'm soo glad that I didn't overload the make up tho!!! ...I went downtown right afterwards to rock climb...

... and yeah.. I think that's about it... good thing too... I really do need to write that essay!
Luv, The ever-so-loveable (not :P)
Ally

P.S. I'm going to Queens again!!!! yay!!! This year I'm taking Bio of Human Behaviour, which should be awesome... I hope its as good as Archeology was last year... and the all night "sleepovers" should be fun... man... I wish everyone were going back.... it's soooo great... I totally can't wait!!!

P.P.S. I saw "Wicked" last week... it is sooo amazingly awesome!!! I don't think I can stress how good it was!!!

...

... yeah... so... I really haven't blogged in a while... and to be honest, I really don't know what to say... but the site's been looking rather lost and forlorn lately, so I thought I'd liven it up...

...in any case... Happy (belated) Birthday - both to me and to the blog... and um... yeah... that's about it... no wonder I never blog anymore...
... anyways, I should be off to finish an english project ... ttfn.
