...

... 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

... Hello again...
Been a while since I last blogged hasn't it... back to school today... funfun... well, not really... schedule goes as follows:

Day 1 -
Science
Careers/Civics
LUNCH
French
English

Day 2 -
World Religions
Math
LUNCH
Canadian History
Intro to Anthropology, Sociology and Psycology

... I swear that they're trying to kill me... My four core subjects are gifted and the other three are gr 11... my easiest course (apart from car/civ) is gr 11 gifted french... Argh!!! I'm so mad that I don't have drama... oh well, next year... Also I kinda wanted to spend less time on schoolwork this year and just relax before I have to start stressing *sigh* guess that one's not happening... Anyways, so far my teachers seem pretty nice... so it shouldn't in any way be a bad year (well, 'cept for the work overload thing) ...
... had a pretty good summer... trapeze for the first four weeks, then two weeks off, then a three week journey around Peru... which was really pretty cool... the only problem is that I've been really active all summer, and then suddenly, I'm back in school... sitting there doing nothing but listening to teachers ramble on about thier courses... I mean, I know it's important, but it's really really annoying to have absolutely nothing to do after quite literally, running around wild all summer...

... I'm sorry, I'm not usually this down... and I've usually got atleast one interessting thing to say... I guess I'm really just pretty exhausted right now...
The Horribly Tired and Worn,
Ally

Ally has had complaints...
about the fact that she hasn't blogged in a while... and the fact that she talks way too much elsewhere but hardly at all here... thus she is going to do a quick update-torial blog...

um... let's see... hmmm... well, she had her end of session trapeze show, where she did a gorgeous layout catch... no return... and um... yah... she's leaving for Peru on friday... and won't be back 'til school starts... if she happens to never come back... blame it on her mom... she want's to canoe the amazon...

okay... that's it... that's my summer so far...
'ya happy now???
The Horribly, Terribly, Lazy,
Ally

Sorry I haven't blogged in so long...
I've been kinda busy... and with the comming of summer I've been outside more and more, and on the compy less and less... also, my brain has decided that as it is summer, it will be going into complete ditz mode - as oppose to the regular, semi-ditz mode... this means, that it will not partake in any intellectual activities what-so-ever... well... reading not included... (hey, I need to keep it occupied somehow)... and even then, the deep, thought provoking books will be mixed in amoung nice, fluffy, easy stuff... because of this, I will probably not post very much this summer...

Have fun,
Ally

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
*sobs*

I can't go!!! I have dance on Saturday and I can't go!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! grrrr!

ya, so recital in three weeks... sooooooooo not ready... I still haven't seen reloaded... and um... I know there's more... I'm absolutely certain that there is... what else is new... um... Mr. Rooney brought in two locust on a plate the other day... that wasn't what I was going to say... but hey, why not...

I'm gonna go now,
Bye-d-byez,
Ally

OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Meg Cabot is comming here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...her tour info is at harpercollins.com and her sites...

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, my summative assigments have been taking up all of my time and I don't seem to have a life... oooooooooh... and I really need to go see the Matrix Reloaded... I just don't have any time! GRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

The Happy but Frustrated,
Ally

Hihi's...
sorry I haven't posted in so long... I've been kind of busy...

... I just read over my post script about the looting of museums in Iraq, I think I sounded a little more calous than I meant to be... I mean, in no way would I ever want my family to die, but honestly that type of history, when it's the only stuff left in the world that could give us clues to our beginings... well, I value that more than my own life (then again, if I were dead it wouldn't matter, would it? ...which I gues is kind of a paradox...*shrug*) so I donno...

... my math teacher decided a few days ago that we were done the curriculum for this year, so we should start learning trig... I think it's the easiest thing we've done all year... then, today she was pretending to pour coffee on my head, so I jumped up, and went flying halfway across the room... she later told my science teacher to not let me out of my seat incase I went flying yet again...

... hmmmmmm... lets see... in other news... oh! ... I saw the strangest thing the other day... I've seen lot's of people get on the ttc stoned... and I've seen lot's pf people smoke while on it... which pisses me off to no end... especially when they're sitting right under a "no smoking sign", do they not have any respect? there are so many kids on the bus... how can they do that? ... anyways... so this guy get's on the bus... walks to the back... and starts smoking weed!!! ... honnestly! how strange is that... everyone was so stunned that no one said a word... it's not suprising that the driver didn't smell it, 'cause lot's of people get on the bus smelling like weed (in the mornings too... just how bad are their lives that they need to get stoned at eight in the morning?) ... but still!!!

well... I really gotta go...
it's been nice talking/typing at you,
The Very Tired and Extremely Out-Of-It,
Ally
