Oops..!

*laughs*... I woke up in the middle of the night after yesterday's blog and realised that I had forgotten to mention *dumdumdum* FOOTBALL!!! How could I have?!?! *laughs* ... but no, I'm on the team again, and it's been sooo much fun!!!... and this year I'm playing Safety instead of Tight End which is actually more fun *shrugs* who knew? We've actually had a pretty good season so far... or up until Agincourt beat us as soundly as they did last week *winces* that was not pretty... So far Mr. Rooney's forced me to sit out 3 games due to ear infections/fluid in my ears *wrinkles nose* I don't know why, It's not as though having no balance and falling while walking and twisting your ankle and pulling all the muscles in your foot... twice *blushes*... impairs your ability to play football in anyway :P... but yeah... the whole fluid in ear thing really doesn't help my natural clumsiness... I actually fell off my chair in chem... and I was just sitting there!!! *sighs*... ah well, it was funny...

And AHH!!! Omg!!! how could I have forgotten to mention my courses this year... I think I'm nuts for taking them btw... even if they are fun... and I do have two lovely spares *grins*... and up until last week there was a late start every tuesday which was even nicer :)... but yeah... I went alll gifted 'cause I'm apparently crazy :P. I did: Algeo w/Mr. Mo, Calculus W/Mr. Chan, Bio w/Rooney, Physics w/Mrs Enright, Chem w/Mrs. Russell and English w/Mrs Billinghurst... tho I also crash Ms. Mo's Eng class a lot *evil grin*... but yeah... it's been fun... though I'm sure you can see why 90+% in each course is killing me *dies again*... ...*groans and lies still for a bit, then glance around to make sure that no one's watching *... ... ...*jumps back up a moment later*... *dusts herself off* anyhow... I think I'm gonna go stretch... (you know that rigger mortis really tightens the muscles :P... *blushes*... sorry, I had to... it was just... right there *points up to part in the last sentence*...) okay, really, really, I am going now! *ducks the rotten tomatoes, vegetables and other random gourd-like things being thrown in her general direction*

Ttfn,
Ally

Wow!

I guess saying "it's been a while" would be a major understatement *cringe*

I did make it up the CN Tower in under 29 mins... 24mins 11s to be exact, a full 5 mins 5s less than my previous best time, so that was happy ;D... Oh wow... alot has happened since then... life's been a bit hectic... alot of fun *grins* but a bit hectic... oddly enough, for once I don't have any big trips to talk about... well... I did go to NYC for a couple of days in November... I was there for my Oxford interview... yes, I know, odd isn't it? I apply for University in England and my interview is in the states :P...

But yeah, I'd never been to New York before, so it was quite exciting and I dragged my mother all over the city... on foot *evil grin*... did all the typical things: saw ground zero, went into Tiffany's... had breakfast ... saw battery park, when to times square Which is CRAZY btw... omg! It's as bright as day in the middle of the night!!! And nowhere before have I ever seen a human display of "safety in numbers"... the pedestrians just sort of encroach on the road until they take it over completely and block all of the traffic... it's fascinating to watch... and lots of fun to do!!! We also saw "Fiddler on the Roof", which was absolutely astounding!!! and met Rosie O'Donnell which was pretty cool, she's as awesome in real life as on TV, funny too! My interview went... well... it was fun... more like a class than an interview... and at the time I didn't think it went well... but it appears that it did!!! *jumps up and down* ... heehee... so I'm in... well, sorta... not yet... I need 90+% in all of my courses... which is pretty much well... *dies*... so I really hope I can make it!!! if not I'll hopefully be at UBC doing some skiing *grins*. I didn't get into Harvard or Stanford... not exactly shocking, I didn't expect too... they usually don't accept morons :D...

Anyhow, Christmas came and went and I had fun spending time with family and getting presents... Linna and I did a pointe piece together for the school 'Holiday' Assembly which was alot of fun, and we sang the music council version of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" for the last time... Took emily to see that Twyla Thwarp/ Billy Joel musical while it was here... the second half of that was amazing!!! ... there was no trip this year :( but hey! you can't have everything! Instead I had some really good snowball fights, got soaked to the bone and refrozen again numerous times *glares at Lagan and Evan evily. You two both sooo deserve to die*... climbed some trees... yes *shifty eyes* in the middle of winter... had more snowball fights... worked on my first New Years at home in years... but that was cool 'cause I was still around ppl... got back in time for midnight and then went toboganning/rolling around in the snow with Kat which was wayyyy more fun that you'd expect...

This winter had some fun parties... watching some of the gifties get drunk for the first time probably made my year *grins* *cough*Ting*cough*... We took Kat to see "The Boyfriend" for her b-day, which was really really cute! and her first musical - so, lot's of fun *grins*... I dragged Kaitlyn, Gillian, Lagan and Alan up to Collingwood to go skiing with me over the March break and we had an awesome time... and no sleep thanx to Lagan's lovely little penchant for making us scream in the dark *glares again**shakes head* I swear, one of these days I really will kill that boy... not only is he brilliant and nearly perfect... he's... well... brilliant and nearly perfect *glares and wrinkles nose*... he should be outlawed :P...

We put on plays in English, I did 'A Streetcar Named Desire"... I directed, abridged the play to 45minutes, and played Stella... so that was a bit of a crazy time... lot's of fun tho... and my group was great - despite thier being a bunch of lazy bums :P , but, no, I love them all and it was great fun... as was watching every body else's plays. They were all absolutely amazing... and we topped last year's plays by a long shot!!!

My 18th b-day came and went... we made a wonderfully colourfully-hazardous b-day cake... which ppl claimed reflected my personality... though I have no idea what they were insinuating *looks innocent* ... man do I feel old though... and I still haven't gotten my full G lisence yet... *sigh*... I should prolly get on that...

Anyhow, my mom got married on March 25 in a lovely little ceremony... the food was very very very yummy... I kept eating off her plate once I'd finished mine *looks angellic*... prolly not the best thing to have done at the head table... *giggles* ... and there was no dancing!!! really, what is a wedding without the dancing?!?!?! *shakes head*

I was back in New York over Easter with the Drama, Dance and Art departments from school and we had a great time running around the city. I saw more of Central park... which is absolutely stunning btw, just gorgeous... and the statue of liberty - which I was not allowed to climb *pouts* ... and went shopping... and saw "The Complete Works of Shakespeare - Abridged" which was hysterical, and "Threepenny Opera" which was pretty cool... all in all it was an awesome trip! and I got to spend quality time with ppl I hadn't hung out with in years... and spent most of the time dying of laughter... aww man, I'll miss everyone sooo much next year... I really can't believe that it's almost done... the year has just flown by... it's just... gone!...

... my last recital is in two weeks, formal/prom is in three... and then exams... and then... I'm done... out of public school forever... and off to University... somewhere... I'm not sure where yet... hopefully England... it's just... surreal really... I haven't quite grasped the concept yet... so yeah... that's pretty much it... *nods* and now I'm just sitting here listening to my oldies and wondering how long it'll be before they're considered classical :D... oh, wait! they're already 'classic rock' :P

Anyhow, I'm off to dance around.
Lot's of love,
Ally
