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

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,
Ally

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.

Ally

... long time no blog...

wow... it's been quite a while... six whole months... well ok, minus a week if I want to be exact...

... yeah, so... I honnestly don't even know where to start... sooo much has happened... yet nothing has changed... ... ... where to start... let's see... I survived grade 10... did amazingly on the exams I didn't study for and not so well on those I did study for - lesson learnt there: don't study, go out and play. ... Recital was awesome... I danced well... did crapily at the rehersals though...
...I was off in Greece and Italy for a month, which was just awesome... met lot's of people... desprately missed dance and trapeze= started to go insane... I have no Idea how I survived going to bed between 1 & 2:30 every night and waking up at 6:30 every morning... I do know, however, that I don't think I'll ever be able to do it again... NOTE: Baklava and Gelato are so not healthy for you... Especially if you're having it Twice a day... but damn, it just tastes Sooooo good!!! classes on the beach we're amazing, the scenery and ruins were surreal and breathtaking & the people were great... all in all it was a very fun experience...
... eventually though, I got home... and it felt like I never left Italy... it was off the plane, and straight to my grandmother's house - where all my Italian relatives were speaking Italian and eating Italian food... it was just a little unnerving...
... I got a nice week at home before Marc came up from Florida... damn you for leaving us Marc, We Miss You!!! Spending the week with Marc and Em and Jess and never seeing my house was Crazy-Fun but it went by wayyy too fast... the zoo-walking downtown-shopping for "Canadian stuff"-bubble tea & Smothies!!! DAMMIT MARC! Get back up here!!! lol
... After sending Marc back to Florida in time for the Hurricane, My mom and I were off to Boston and Cape Cod... can we say Shopping Spree?!?!... anyways... Cheers has amazing burgers and Boston is an amazing city... Havard's pretty cool... I think I might like to go there... sooo much desert though... and seafood... I love seafood... but... it was just... wow... Cape Cod was pretty cool, Martha's Vinyard and Nantucket... and the History of the entire area.... oooh... and Province Town... p-town was cool... they had some of the best t-shirt slogans there... Salem was awsome too... ... I ended up missing the Unique performance again this year... and by one planeflight too... argh!...
... The next thing on my summer list was four days straight of inclass driving lessons... not exactly my idea of fun... but they were actually a lot better than I expected, and the people were pretty cool... walking the 2 miles to get there and the 2 miles home also helped me fit back into my pants... honestly... I got home this summer and coouldn't fit into my pants... which everyone seemed to find absolutely hysterical (ok, fine so it was a lil' funny :P)... and my mother... you know what she said??? "Don't worry Ally, you get fatter every summer!"... in a happy, peppy bright voice too!!!... lol... I couldn't tell whether she was trying to cheer me up, or just trying not to jump up and down gleefully!... anyways... I now fit back into my clothes... with no thanks to all the laughing people :P - yes you know that's directed at you...
... anyways... I got a brake between the driving and "real" school with a one day trip up to the cottage... I mean, really... who goes to the cottage for ONE day??? ... well, appart from me. Anyways... it was awesome 'cause all of the familly was up there and we had four tubes behind the boat... the water was really rough though... and I must have fallen out atleast 10 times in the 4 hours we were out there... 10, compared to last years 1!... I had sooo much trouble getting back into the tube too... I hadn't realised just how weak I'd gotten w/out either Dance or Flying to keep me in shape... anyways It was lot's o fun, and I persuaded Matt to make me a bonfire again this year - mmmmmmm burnt marshmallows... they always taste best that way!!!... I just don't understand the people who ge me to make them golden brown.
... so yeah... I think that pretty much sums up my summer...

OMG!!! Queens!!! how could I have forgotten Queens... that was in May though, but still! it was Absolutely Awesome!!! We totally need to find a way to do it again this year!!! ... there are enough of us! we should totally just get our own bus!!! lol...

... so yeah... now... it's Gr11... crud, I'm starting to feel old... it's soo weird to be a senior... it just doesn't feel right... anyways... this year's schedule is Day 1: Physics w/Winfield, Hist-16th cent w/Dick, Drama w/Bignell & English w/Billinghurst, Day 2: Bio w/Rooney, French w/Kachur, Chem w/Russell & Math w/ Moliotsias... so yeah... I'm pretty happy w/ my teachers... the first actual day of school was awesome too... Mrs. Mo and Mrs. B arranged an all day - never-have-to-see-the-school, field trip downtown to see Hamlet- which was actually pretty good, and lot's and lot's of fun... gotta love great teachers... they were awesome to have at Queens too...

...anyways... it's been pretty good... I'm soooo glad to have started dance again!!! I was honnestly going insane without it... I don't know how I'd survive if I couldn't do it... I missed everyone over the summer too ... you guys are awesome!!! and I hate that this is the "beggining of the end" (Shannon's quote) ... it won't be the same without you!!!... we totally have to savour this year... and soo many ppl have left already ...On a brighter note... this year's ballet is awesome... if a little painful... (that adoge was killer... I soo cannot hold my leg in the air for 5mins...) ... Jazz is amazing!!!... I love the exam work... hopefully we'll be ready... It feels soo wierd to only have four classes, I really hope we get lyrical as well... I'm actually really surprised that my body's still alive... My knee's are killing me now though... oddly enough that didn't start until after I'd seen the orthopedic specialist this afternoon... ugh, somedays I just don't understand my body ...onto another thing I've missed immensly - Flying!!! I went down to the open friday last week and I was sooo happy to be back up there! I'm gonna start classes every wednesday and I just can't wait... I'd really love to learn arial, but the only level one classes they have also include acrobatics, and while I'd love to learn I'm not sure how my body would take it...

The Lovably-Insane... or, as was written on my Classical Civ report card: the "Burdensomely Inquisitive",
Ally

... "Yay" With The Non-Postage...

Uh... yeah... so... I haven't blogged in a while... um... funny... lot's has happened... I just can't be bothered to blog... in any case Happy very belated b-day to 'Livia... happy also belated b-day to my cousin Sarah-Beth... another happy belated B-day... this one to Sam... and last but not least... Happy Belated Birthday to... ALLY!!!...yay!!!... talk about frightening... I am now legally allowed to drive... me! - who can't see over the dashboard... ah well... funfun... the G1 test was absolutely and ridiculously easy... pathetically so...

... In other news, my skiing has improved drastically... I am now capable of skiing double black diamond glades in the Canadian Rockies... woohoo! go me!!!... my cousins and I skied them all week... I do not, however, even pretend to look good while skiing them... but hey... at least I can do them decently enough... *sigh*... what to say, what to say... my march break was awesome... I don't know how it couldn't be seeing as how my b-day pressie was a week long ski trip with my twin cousins to Panorama... *shakes head*... the skiing was sooo great... even if the locals found it a bit icy... meh... I hate powder anyways... though I have to admit... skiing Taynton Bowl (the powder bowl at Panorama) was fun...

... I don't think that there's much else to say... oh, wait... I got a Commended (70-80%) on my gr4 Jazz exam... yay... go me... I would have much preferred something higher... but seeing as how I had a sinus infection, an ear infection and absolutely no sense of balance - as in I actually fell over at one point and had a hell of a time turning... I'm very surprised that I even did that well... I personally thought I danced horribly... compared to how I usually dance anyways... and that I deserved a much lower mark... meh... whatever... the old CDTA Elementary jazz syllabus that we're doing now is deadly... extremely fun... but deadly all the same...

... Oh, yes... I know what else I forgot to mention... the Sunday I got back, Em tried to throw me a surprise party... I say tried because I've known about it almost as long as she has... well not known... suspected... but not really... just sort of... oh I don't think I can explain it... meh... anyways... as much as I hate birthday parties, or any party thrown in my honour, I had fun... I much prefer hosting the party... so long as it's not at my house... anyhow... in some ways it still turned out to be a surprise... Kimmerz was there, YAY!!!... that was a totally unexpected and delightful surprise...
yeah so... as far as big things in Ally's life go... I think the blog is pretty much up to date...

HAPPY BELATED C-DAY TO MY BLOG!!!

Its CreationDay was on Jan 28 for anyone who cares... anyways... sry it's been so long... but life does get in the way... anyways... Happy Valentines day to all... also, a Happy B-day today to my sis, Camille and my cousin, Joseph... and a Happy belated B-day (feb 2nd) to my lil' sis' Kat... and a Happy early B-day to Em on the 14th... there okay... I think that's all of them for now...

laughter

*sigh*... I'm still weak from laughing so hard last period... omg! I never thought english could be that funny... my class has officially managed to make Macbeth into a comedy... I spent atleast half of the period laughing so hard I was crying... *shakes head*... somedays I wonder how Ms. Mo puts up with us... then again she was in hysterics too... *sigh*... I'd explain the story better but my entire body is exhausted from lauging so hard... anyways in other news, I got new pointe shoes *YAY!!!* all pretty and pink and CLEAN... hard too... gotta love breaking in new pointe shoes *sarcasm oozes out*... yupyup... and guess what starts on friday... EXAMS!!! oh yay!!!... on the bright side I get over half of next week off...

The Laughingly Exhausted,
Ally

SNOW!!!

*jumps around giggling and dancing*... it hasn't stopped snowing since I got home on sunday evening... and it's so gorgeous outside!!!... unfortunately it's also friggen' freezing... doesn't stop me from playing/walking around out there though *grin*... ... *sigh*... I feel like such a freak... after being out every night while I was in the Dom. Rep. I'm currently sitting at home at 10:30 on a friday night with nothing to do... *pouts*... Em's at Joey's... and it's too late to go across the street... I have no idea what anyone else is doing... tho I'm sure it has something to do with going to the movies... in which case, I'm not missing much... doesn't really matter anyways 'cause I couldn't stay out late... gotta be at the studio for 9 tomorrow... but still... it just feels weird after a week of partying...
... I had a great time on my trip by the way... funfunfun... getting out of bed at 8:30 (which for me is sleeping in...)... going down to the beach at around 9-9:30... lounging/tanning and reading with drink/food/walk-along-the-beach/shopping/play-in-the-waves brakes every so often 'til 'round 1-ish when my mom and I would search each other out and have some lunch... then it was back to the beach for some more tanning/reading... 'til a friend came along and we ended up back in the ocean or in the sand... then at around 3 I'd head over to the pool area for the "club dance" which was a silly little macareana (sp?) type thing that was just plain fun!... after that I'd go up to my room to change into shorts and a tank top so that I could fly (trapeze) 'til six... speaking of which, I caught 3 more layouts while I was there... woohoo go me!!!... after the trapeze closed I'd head back up to the room for a quick shower and change and to meet up with my mom... then it was down to the lounges/games room until around 8:30 when we'd go to the main buffet restaurant for dinner... I swear they had the best food I've ever had at a hotel or buffet anywhere... after some tea and desert I'd head to the theater to watch the preshow games and the show... I won a bottle of rum in one of the pre-show games *giggles*... then after the show me and some of the girls that I made friends with from Montreal would head down to the disco for some "dancy dancy" and in some cases some "drinky drinky" (I swear that's how the animation team (hotel social convener people) talked... *sniffsniff* I miss those guys... and the trapeze guys too... and the girls... )... I'd head up to bed at around 12:15-12:30-ish for some sleep... then wake up, and do it all again the next day... yupyup *sigh*... that's the life... I'd die to go back... it was so nice and relaxing...

well... I hope I've got you drooling... it would certainly make me feel better 'bout staying home on a friday night...
tata for now,
the ever so kind and caring,
Ally

BOO!!!

*sigh*... I really need to blog more don't I?... anyways... Christmas was great... X-mas eve with my mom's side was fun... all the kids insisting that they'd last until midnight before opening the presents... yeah... they lasted 'til ten... then my little cousin who only weighs about 40-someodd pounds trying to drink an entire glass of champagne on her own... *shakes head*... mmmm... and good food... crab... yummy... Then was x-mas day with my dad's side... which was equally fun... and where all us older kids watched the cartoon version of "How The Grinch Stole Christmas"... *sigh* I love that movie... ...the only problem this year was that it was nearly impossible to get into the christmas mood... there was no snow!!! *pouts*... oh well... it did snow for a bit on the 25... but still... that doesn't count!... ...I'd have to say my favourite gifts were the lump of coal "for extra naughty boys and girls" from my uncle... and the rudolf and frosty movies from emily... yupyup... *nods* yes, I know... I'm strange...

well... I'm off... gotta go pack... we're leaving for the Dominican at 4:30 tomorrow morning so... Happy New Years!,
Ally

OOOH!!!

There's snow... but it's all melting... noo snow... don't go away!!!... um, uh... Christmas in 6days!!! woohoo!!!... uh and yeah... so... the place just looked a lil' dismal and I thought I'd cheer it up... guess you could take the lack of postage as a good thing... I mean... after all... I means I'm developing a social life right? ... anyways... just thought I'd wish everyone a merry X-mas break(even if ya don't celebrate it) and a Happy New year... so ya... there ya' go...

Boo... that is it... just boo...

Paradoxical People

People really seem to despise life on this planet. And yet, we all contrive to stay on it as long as possible - longer even. Why?

...just a random thought... anyways... I must go back to my W.Rel. project...

Ally is now dead... just a short note to say that I actually made it up the stairs of the CN Tower... whoohoo!!! go me!!! did it in 29mins 16secs... not to bad for a first try... anyways... I'm dead... so I'm off...

The Very Dead,
Ally

Snow!!!!

heeheehee... just a quick note... I came out of the literacy test (stupid pathetic thing... I think I may just have failed... I did too much work...) for my break today, and it was snowing!!! heehee... I love the first snow of the year... it always makes my day!!!

... *sigh*...
I was bored and just meandering 'round the net, when I noticed that I hadn't blogged in forever, so, I continued meadering until I arrived here... and figured that I should say something...

... okay... there we go... I've said something, and now I can leave... but I won't... y'know it's really weird... I really hate writting, and yet, last year I was really into the whole blog thing... and now, I'm back to normal old me... well... that is, nornal for me... we all know that normal for me is extremely abnormal for just about everyone else on the planet... and now, I'm just babbling... why am I babbling? I have no idea... I'm assuming it has something to do with avoiding my english project... which, I probably really should be doing...

... it's weird... I feel like everything I'm writting about makes my life sound depressing... meh... life's great... it's just that I don't really feel like blogging all about the entertaining things that happen in my day anymore... I mean, who really cares?... not that I ever cared 'bout that fact... it was just fun to write... now it's tedious... *shrug* oh well... I almost feel the same about reading anything other than short romance/fluffy-girliness novels... argh! what's wrong with me... I soo badly want to read what I used to be able to read... which was just about anything... mostly sci-fi/ fantansy... but, it's like I'm all excited 'bout the book... I pick it up, start to read it... and then, half way in, get bored and turn into a giggly-teenage girl and put it down... and the worst part is, that I'm not bored, I really want to read the book, but I can't... it's like, anything deeper than, say a puddle, is far to deep... my mind get's all airy and brainless as if it were drowning and not getting enough oxygen... it's so damn annoying!!!... and here I go again... whining and making my life sound depressing... which is pathetic, 'cause it's really the complete opposite...

... speaking about it being the complete opposite... I Gots A New Baby Cousin!!!...heehee... he was born on Wednesday, his name is Keith, and I get to see him today... assuming of course, that I finish the hw that I'm putting off right now...

... lesse... what else is there to talk about... ...honnestly, it's sad... I never shut up... and here I'm having trouble thinking of what to say... meh... seems to happen everytime I have to write or type something... speaking is sooooo much more fun... 'cause, then people are forced to listen... well... not necessarily... most of my friends and family have developed the amazing ability of being able to pretend that they're listening, while actually thinking of something completely different, such as what colour shoes they're gonna buy next time they go shopping... or how they really love that new tv show... not that I have a problem with that... I mean... It's not exactly as if I actually listen to myself... my brain has usually gotten bored about two seconds into the "conversation" (if you want call it that... I usually do all of the talking...) and is off in some other dimension, trying to figure out how I'm gonna get my 20-somethingth meal of the day, and if the world is actually a hyperbolic paraboloid and not a sphere as they keep trying to make us believe... occaisionally, it comes back down to earth, and wonders if my mouth'll ever shut up so that it can get something intelligent in... like, say, asking the person I'm talking at whether or not they have any food...

*takes a breath and blinks as if coming out of a daze*

... okay... no clue where all of that came from... it seems that not only my mouth, but my hands as well, have a life of they're own... you people are just lucky that you are not forced to read all of this... on the other hand... since you are staring at this, I'm assuming that you have read it... and are therefore insane... whether you were before, or are now because of my babbling, is a completely irrelevant fact... unless of course, it was my babbling that drove you insane, which would probably mean that you find it very relevant and will be trying to kill me the next time I see you... if that is the case, please post a comment so that I can know to place you in the same category as homework, and avoid you at all costs... also, try to remember that insanity is a great place to be, and that you should love, not hate the person who sent you there...

and now, I must get back to my work,
So long,
From The Ever-So-Whatever-ish,
Ally

... not too much in this corner...
... I actually can't think of anything to talk about... other'n the fact that I'm bored outta my mind... and just sitting here like an idiot... hmm... what to say, what to say...
... lesse... school's actually not too bad... better'n I thought it would be... but just watch, now that I've said that, it'll get worse... ...what else is there... hmmm... me, being my normal crazy self... bought a pink candy-stripped top when I was at the mall on friday... it's quite hideous... looks gorgeous on me though, soo... heeheehee... pink, candy-stripe & gorgeous... ... anyways... just thought I'd do a little update... but I've done it now... so I guess that leaves me free to go...

So Long,
From The Ever So Wonderful,
Ally
