Dir en grey Live @ The Guvernment!!!

2007-02-10T09:16:00.000-05:00

Yesterday, not only did I go to my first concert, but it was Dir en grey LIVE! 8D I can't believe I actually saw them. The crowd was so packed up to the stage. I managed to grab a good spot and when Kyo leapt up on the speakers closest to me, I could almost touch him!
Lauren, Buni and Mitti all got guitar picks; Mitti got Die's, while Buni and Lauren got the ones that Toshiya kissed. I'm so jealous, but they totally deserve it! I sorta met "little" Jessica, who has a really awesome fashion sense, but due to the crush of people waiting to get out, we were never properly introduced and so she seemed a little standoffish. Whatever, it hardly matters because, I SAW DIR EN GREY!

Oh man... best night of my life.

Oh and Lauren had to phone me yesterday because she f0rgot her ticket at home and I actually got off at Queens Quay station and RAN LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER to find her, as the doors opened at 5:30 (it ended at 9:00 PM; a really early concert...) and we got there at 5:28 PM. Anyhow, everyone was happy as everyone got their tickets in order and it was fantastic.

DIRU, I LOVE YOU 8D

Now, I sleep...

Ok, so slight update! I get to see Saar tomorrow! YAY! I really need to ask that boy out soon! Life hasn't been too busy… school is still school, taking up my precious time, eating into what I wish to do… whatever….

Video Games Live

2006-09-02T10:24:00.000-04:00

Video Games Live was the greatest thing ever! The concert was at Massey Hall, 7:00 PM, and I was on the balcony with George and Saar. The music was so epic! The orchestra was amazing, the choir fantastic!

After the concert, we were going to stay overnight at Saar's but I thought I had to assemble a slideshow for my aunt, so I didn't even bother trying to call home. By the time I got home, I learned that she had gone ahead and done it without me a week earlier, but had failed to mention it. I was really pissed off...

So I missed a night of Chrono Trigger, pizza and coffee T_T

This is the greatest thing ever. I am so excited. I have to read the books now!

Sleeping Over at Saar's

2006-07-15T01:26:00.000-04:00

Last night was totally awesome! Went and saw The Comedy of Errors with George and Saar in High Park and then hiked it out to Saar's place, rented Mortal Kombat 1 & 2 and watched both. It was a lot of fun, then we just stayed up talking until 5:30 in the morning.
Woke up at 8:00 and couldn't function, so that took some time. Had breakfast then sat around watching TV until George had to leave, because he's too damn repsonsible and has work. Went out to the EB Games and looked around a bit. Then back to Saar's, more G4 TV and the we broke out Mario Sunshine, which is a lot of fun. If I wasn't so damn tired, the platforming might not have been so difficult though.
Eventually we went out to this park, close to Saar's and saw a huge bumblebee and a caterpillar cocooning itself. The excitement of a changed environment was soon lost on us however as the humidity drove us indoors again. I think this was when we went to get lunch... or something... I sorta forget what happened between the park and Pizza Pizza, but yeah had pizza for lunch and then did something and then Saar's mom drove us to the bus stop and I came home.

Was my worn and torn body done for the day? Mais non. My mother found me on my street and I was dragged out to a pool! Swimming, in my condition?! Mais non.

Came home, went to bed, dad came home, dragged out of bed, went to restaurant and was there five minutes before feeling ill and exhausted and coming home again. Slept until 11:45 PM.

And that was my last two days.

Lunch, Waterfalls and A Dead Car Battery

2006-07-06T17:17:00.000-04:00

Alright, today has been an absolute roller-coaster of emotions. Went out for an excellent lunch at a place called Canal Ritz, where I enjoyed a fettuccine pasta with squid and clams in a basil-tomato sauce. It was absolutely delicious. Then took off to a park to view some waterfalls. Boring, but relaxing. Then once more in the car, off like a dervish to find strawberries. Upon landing at the place, I just sat listening to music while my brothers gathered strawberries, when to my dismay, the music stopped.

This could only mean the worst. Just like in PEI. The car battery had died. Thankfully someone helped us jack the battery and it returned to life. I just let it idle in the driveway while I read up on London, England. Exciting stuff...

Then I came home to make dinner. This turned out to be a simple pasta, sausage and tomato sauce mix. All good and said... bleh.

God damned wireless out here sucks! HORRID! It sucks ;-;

Enough whining... BondS ~Kizuna~ on the playlist right now and I am positively loving every second of this song. It's pure sugar-coated happiness. Oh, it's by Antic Cafe, for those wondering. There's a link on the sidebar to their official page.

Anyway, I'm off...

Canoes, Rain and Basmati Rice

2006-07-04T11:14:00.000-04:00

Alright, it's been a few days, but here goes... today was an absolutely grueling canoe trip. A storm moved in and we got a bit of rain, but it passed quickly. Got my exercise for the month, practically.

Shopping for dinner then whipped together a couple of great salads. Garden greens, Greek and a Potato Salad with Grapes, Goat Cheese and Walnuts. Delicious. Dinner was a complete success. Then we went out into the woods and got lost. So what was supposed to be a lovely post-dinner excursion turned into a half-hour romp through the forest.

Jeez.

Anyhow, today was pretty quiet actually... so yeah...

Yesterday, lunch at a nice little bar/grill thing... forget the name, but it was good. Food was an age and a day in coming and I personally didn't love it (pizza; mozzarella was overpowering of everything else).

Greatly enjoyed the rice bowl that succeeded the pizza. Basmati rice with a spicy Thai flavouring with chicken, zucchini and other vegetables. Delightful.

Anyway, nighty nighty,

Canada Day 2006

2006-07-01T12:30:00.000-04:00

Alright... Canada Day morning and here I sit, blogging away as my brother listens to some god-awful music on the TV. Just contemplating the fate of my laptop monitor... it's got a nasty crack in it and that's bothering me. Hope it doesn't get any worse.
Listening to Ryuusei by MUCC. They're practically the only thing I listen to right now; thanks Jess for introducing them! Other than that, a little GUN DOG and some Macdonald Duck Eclair. GUN DOG is like Japanese Linkin Park, right down to the way they look. It's kind of hilarious. Macdonald Duck Eclair is Japanese electropop. I love it!
The weather is looking fine today, but I hear it's positively broiling out, so that may put a damper (IRONY!) on my day. Parliament Hill in the heat is no fun.
I really should turn on the blog security word thingy.. these ads in my post comments are getting really annoying! Anyhow.
Alright, I need a shower... bye bye.

***

Back from the celebration at Parliament Hill and I am absolutely exhausted. Seriously, I have never felt more physically drained in my life. I need something to raise my blood-sugar.
Anyhow, I did get something out of this day. Spring Snow by Yukio Mishima! I'm so happy! Although, I do need to read a bunch of other books before I can even justify opening that one.
I need to learn to pack lighter in my travels. I brought WAY too much stuff today. My back feels broken. It's horrible! Anyhow, enough melodrama on my part.
I marched all the way down to the Byward Market and Oh My God, it was crowded! I have never seen more people on Parliament Hill. It was positively ridiculous. Lunched at the Fish Market restaurant and met up with my cousin Alex. It was great to see her.
Then hiked back to the car and then home, to pass out then decide to blog about everything... woo

Anyhow, that pretty much constitutes today...

En Route to Ottawa

2006-06-30T23:32:00.000-04:00

Well, here I sit, in the car driving to Ottawa and I might just pass out from boredom. I brought a metric ton of things to do and nothing is appealing right now... except for blogging.
I'm writing this in OpenOffice's Writer, because I can't get wireless out in the middle of the 401. Handy little thing, and I'm liking it more than Word.
Anywho, I'm contemplating calling Lor, watching Memoirs of a Geisha or just falling asleep. Neither is really a pleasing option. Gas fumes from all the cars backed up on the highway are just souring my mood.
As it turns out, the summer trip to Europe is starting to take shape. We have lodgings in the Cotswolds (sp?) and other things... some cool new hotel in London, some other neat hotel in Paris. The trouble is in the flights. Delta dropped our itinerary and so now we have some convoluted flight path from Paris to Moscow to Newark, to be wait-listed for the Cincinnati-Toronto run. Dear god.
MUCC is a positively amazing band. I suggest anyone reading this go out and get their Kuchiki no Tou album and their new single Ryuusei. Pure gold. I'm listening to their Houyoku album now, trying to get a feel for it. It's... different.
I feel really badly about still having Jess' belt and bracelet. Apparently she can't wear anything because she's belt-less... awful feeling +3.
I can't wait to get back from Ottawa and hang out with George and Saar and all of their crazy friends! I hung out with George, Noor and Will on Wednesday. It was awesome. Went grocery shopping for Noor's mom, who is hosting a huge party of something like eighty people. Shopping in Chinatown can be an... interesting experience. Regardless, we got our firm tofu and tomatoes.
Then we just chilled at Noor's place, which is really nice! She has an awesome (and huge) room! She gave me tons of her yaoi manga, which she apparently just keeps getting given.
I really liked Only the Ring Finger Knows, it was so cute! Anyhow, the battery life of this computer is positively god awful. I've got something like thirteen minutes left... boo! I figure I should get the thing replaced.
I also need to do those two kiriban for Anjii and Jonny. Plus study Japanese, read my D.Gray-Man and read all the Shoxx articles (the manga + magazine are in Japanese). I need to learn 5000 – 7500 kanji by the end of the summer! D:<>

***

I'm once more plugged in and ready to go! Just wrapping up the blog prior to publishing... publishing which should be interesting... need to find an internet connection.

Well, bye bye for now, will update again tomorrow after the Canada Day celebration. Going to the Byward Market, so excited!

Scott Pilgrim and the Infinite Sadness

2006-06-02T00:35:00.000-04:00

was so fucking good!

I have NEVER been drawn to comics/manga quite like this. Scott Pilgrim is just so ridiculously engaging and Bryan Lee O'Malley doesn't disappoint in volume three of his new hit series, Scott Pilgrim!

I won't spoil anything for you, I will simply say that you must go pick them up, read and then see if you can treat Toronto, Ontario the same ever again.

I would love to ninja-fight in the Reference Library or give a beatdown in Honest Ed's... Go get them so you know what I'm talking about!

Oh and Bryan signed my Scott Pilgrim 3! I was ecstatic! (I don't know why, but using his first name without knowing the guy too well, it irks me... but Mr. Lee O'Malley is too formal)

Anyhow, I am so tired! So I'm off to bed now, goodnight!

Anime North 2006 - Sunday End-of-Con Wrapup

2006-05-28T23:28:00.000-04:00

Well, it has been one hell of a ride! I'm exhausted from all the Con-going!

On my final post of Anime North 2006, let me say, in closing, that this year kicked ass. I had so much fun! I got so much stuff and now am completely broke...

I was quite pleased with the Con, seeing pretty much everything I wanted, getting nice prints from the Artist Alley and tons of manga from the Dealer's Room.

Spent a lot of the day just looking for deals on stuff, I almost picked up Loveless Vol. 1 and Wild Rock, but alas, my funds dried up! Spent a lot of time lying in the shade with Lauren and Jonny. Met up with Hayley and Deidre who were insane (mostly Deirdre) over Quinton Flynn hugging them.

Wrapped it up there, said goodbye to everyone and departed for home at 4:30.

All in all, it was an awesome, if exhausting weekend and I'm so happy it worked out!

Anime North 2006 - Saturday & Scott Pilgrim 3 Release Party

2006-05-28T00:21:00.000-04:00

Today was fucking amazing!

Got to sleep at 2 AM and slept until about 0400 when my cat woke me. I let him out and then trecked back to bed for some sleeping. 0700 and I was up! Quickly showered, dressed and packed. Got out and ready to go!

Jess and Lauren were a few minutes late, whatever. We made it to Lawrence West in record time, only to have the 58 bus take forever in coming. The bus' arrival only marked the beginning of the long, half-hour haul to the Toronto Convention Centre.

The ride there was a little rough, but overall, not too bad. Upon getting to the con, Jonny and I quickly headed out in search of Bryan Lee O'Malley, creator of Scott Pilgrim! Picked up the first through third volumes of Scott Pilgrim, which was awesome and withdrew all of my money from the ATM. Insane shopping ensued. Lauren bought an awesome hat!

We met a Clarice clone.

Then, after quite a while, Anjii and Jess fulfilled their posts in the Artist Alley.

Then I took pictures of a lot of stuff around buying!

We ran into Kimberly and Ikran as well.

The end of the day was spent in Video 1, just reading and sharing our swag. We wrote this great fold-over story, which I'll post later.

At 1800 we hopped on the bus and rode down to Bloor West to attend the Scott Pilgrim Vol. 3 Release Party. It was a lot of fun and the free food was great! Bryan Lee O'Malley signed my copy of Vol. 3 and I mentioned how much I adore his eggs, peanut butter and salsa recipe.

Jonny's mom drove us home, many, many thanks to her!

Now, I need to rest so I can go hunting deals tomorrow. Bye!

Anime North 2006 - Friday

2006-05-27T00:20:00.000-04:00

Alright guys, Anime North 2006 has officially kicked off and what a time it has been.

Visited Anjii and Jess at their table quite a bit. Jess and I wandered off to the Dealer's Room and found the Loveless art book by Yun Kouga and the Scott Pilgrim booth. I have never seen Jess so giddy or squeak quite so much! We rushed through the Artist's Alley, looking for Studio Blank then hurried back to Anjii who was holding down both tables.
We were soon asked to pack up and did so, then went in search of Clarice. She was at the Tim Hortons with a bunch of people. Lou met us there and I ended up kissing her random friend on the cheek... the stubble... *shudder*. Anyhow, yeah.

Also ran into Saar, Rob, Alina, Nicole and those people, which was awesome. I also ended up waving to Alora in the Artist Alley and she had no idea who I was... embarassing. Anyhow, Saar was cosplaying Link (Legend of Zelda) and it looked like an amazing cosplay. They all looked great, Nicole as Zelda, Alina as Navi (?).

I'll be taking a camera with me tomorrow, so expect lots of pictures!

Well, I need to recover to get up early tomorrow. Bye bye!

Rules of Stalking - By Victoria

2006-05-16T10:22:00.000-04:00

The Official Rules of Stalking according to Victoria

A: General

Never tell the person that you are stalking
Never stalk someone alone - Bring a friend!
Stay at least ten paces back if on a busy street. Be further back for a quiet street
Never talk about them while stalking
Most importantly, HAVE FUN! (For you anyway...)

B: Stalking somebody in your class (or school):

Never stalk someone if you can easily ask for information from them yourself
Do not stalk a good friend, but do not stalk a complete stranger either. If you know them too well, there's no point in stalking and if they don't know you, it's creepy!
As mentioned in #2, try to at least have spken once to the person you are stalking
You can get valuable information about your stalkee from their friends - If you are lucky enough to know them!
Staliing after school is the easiest time to stalk
Try following them home
Carry a cellphone while stalking. If they start to notice that you are following them, "pretend" you're talking to someone on your cell and pretend you're on your way to a friend's house. Make sure your stalkee can hear you speaking into the phone
Try to overhear conversations your stalkee might have with their friends
Follow them to class and memorize their time tables for future use

C: Stalking someone not at school:

This type should be avoided if they are celebrities (BIG celebrities) or the average person
The Internet is your most valuable resource (phonebook and MapQuest/Google Maps)

* Once you think you know where they live from a phonebook, be sure to check! Many people have common last names. My tip! If you know their voice by heart, call up the address you think they live at. If the voice matches what you think, ask for a random name (You will get, "You got the wrong number") NEVER ask for them UNLESS someone else picks up. When they go to get your stalkee, this is when you hang up.

NOTE: ALWAYS USE A PAYPHONE!

Oh, Victoria is so creepy, with her indepth knowledge of stalking. <3 XD

Wi-Fi fucking owns

2006-05-12T13:50:00.000-04:00

Sitting here in geography class and wi-fi fucking owns. Though this computer could use a BETTER fucking battery. Boot the thing at full and I've got ONE hour. Piece of shit... other than that, the computer is a god-send.

Desperately trying to resuscitate my computer science knowledge. It isn't difficult, but I have zero problem-solving ability. I'm taking the Grade 12 course next year... woo... help! Reading through the textbook helps a bit, but the practical stuff is killing me softly.

The careers cumulative project is going to kill me! Even worse than that is the English final assignment! Regarding English, I'm getting a fucking 38 percent in that class! Ms. Douglas seems to have it out for me. It's ridiculous. I'm a good student, intelligent, mature, well-read! I SHOULD NOT BE FAILING ENGLISH!

Why?

Nothing to be done about it now, I can just finish it all up in my fifth year. T___T FIFTH YEAR!

WHY!?

Enough bitching...

~FIN~

Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami is a fucking awesome book and I just finished up with Headhunter by Timothy Findley. That was an excellent book and has recently inspired in me a desire to become a psychiatrist.

On that note, let me clear up the definition of a psychologist versus a psychiatrist.

Psychologist: A doctor trained to help with emotions and behaviours. They're basically there to help you sort out your emotions and help you make sense of them.

Psychiatrist: Deals with mental and emotional disorders (schizophrenia, bipolar, borderline).

For further information, see the Wikipedia articles for Psychiatry and Psychology.

I'm done,

I've become recently interested in parkour. It looks fucking amazing. ---> PKTO. A local Toronto resource for those of you interested. It looks like one intense sport, hardly something someone like myself, with my poor physique could attempt, but mayhaps I'll get off my ass and try it.

Literacy Test of DOOM!

2006-03-29T20:11:00.000-05:00

Had to go through the literacy test today...

What a waste of time. It was ridiculously easy. Except for the opinion piece, where I started getting lazy and bullshitting my way through the second page of "Whether or not junk foods should be banned from schools".

A question with a bit more depth would have been nice.

Oh, the tar that the various TDSB non-descript construction staff have been pouring on the roof started burning today in the late June-like weather. It set off the fire alarm in the middle of the test and pushed us back about fifty minutes. >_<;

Anyhow, now that it's all said and done I'm rather happy.

Just wish I had the day off tomorrow.

Oh, went out to lunch after with a bunch of friends. I haven't had Japanese in FOREVER! The miso soup was soooo good. Nothing beats tofu and wakame (seaweed... I'm just being pretentious >_>;).

Alright, homework fun time! 8D

The Pulse of my afflicted world

2006-03-11T19:20:00.000-05:00

First things; this is NOT an emo post.

I would simply like to state, as I hover here in the midst of Zolarius Central Standard, that I am horridly sick. A cold, contracted by way of straws; a friend's saliva, the harbringer of my doom. Or perhaps it was the chip on the ground. You never know.

Anyhow, before I descend down another tunnel-dream of Advil-induced numbness, I wanted to tell you all (or lack thereof), that I can feel a strange pulse to my afflicted world. No, I do not do drugs, this is not induced by cough syrup or any of that. It is simply a feeling of life, existing around me.

Maybe it's just the beat of the music downstairs....XD;

Well then, I'm off to back two candy-red pills of calmness and try to beat the crap out of this cold.

See you,

Chinatown - A Photo Story

2006-02-10T20:58:00.000-05:00

Alright so today was awesome!

And now the long-winded tale, condensed by photographs!

So I met up with Lou, Anjii and Lauren and we proceeded to the subway. Lou started taking pictures with her cell phone...

I, in turn, also took pictures of everything. So did Anjii.

Plus we took an emo picture of me... XD;

Oh lord.....

Then Lou decided to play the sexy librarian with my glasses XD

Anyhow, upon getting to Chinatown, we decide to go into this bun shop and consume food! :3

I took a liking to the cream buns and paid for it dearly...

Such a terrible picture, and I had icing UP my nose x____x;

Lou has a bun for a face! YAY! ^0^

Moving along now, we left that place and went shopping for stuff. Lauren threatened to keep me in the fitting room of this one place unless I put on a) these leather pants she tossed over the door and b) a matching leather jacket x___x...XD

Well, she succeeded .___.

x_____x;;;

Anyhow, I got this awesome jacket there (not the leather one in the pic EWWW!) and we headed off again. Picked up a shirt shortly thereafter and then decided we needed haircuts! So off we go to the stylist.

We run into Liz and proceed to put panda sex on my face XD;...it was funny.

Panda 1 (Anjii's): DO ME

Panda 2 (Lou's): Gladly

Then Lou and I make out XDDDD...no, it's actually us just PRETENDING but it was humorous none-the-less. I can't remember the events leading up to why we were doing this, but it happened...

FINALLY we get to the haircut place...called Sculpture (I think) and they did an amazing job for a mere $10! Girl's cost $15, poor Lou XD.

After the haircuts, Lou ran into someone she knew who was running a booth and Anjii and Lou were asked to draw for her, to see if they were good enough so the person could sell their art.

They went on talking for quite a while in mandarin (>___<; I have to learn it!...but I'll butcher the accent/tones, guaranteed) . Lou's friend thought I was thirteen >___<...XD

Lou, Anjii and Lauren got their ears pierced and stuff...I should have, but was too much of a wimp... I will next time!

Then we left, went to get ice cream at Baskin & Robbins, then I went home. Lou walked me all the way to the subway <3

I have to get a job so that next time I won't worry so much about money!

Stylish and imaginative, you prefer to inspire admiration than to shock and you mostly succeed. Even if sometimes you'd like to have more courage to put on something absolutely outrageous you do great job in creating a unique look that others look up to. There is a possibility that you work in the fashion industry. If you don't, perhaps you should.

Some Sage Advice

2006-01-25T22:21:00.000-05:00

Behold, I have travelled many miles and experienced nothing to bring you this piece of absolutely crucial advice:

Wait for it.........

Pet more kittens

Courtesy of the 'Super List of Awsome' by Jess!

(No the awesome is not mispelt, there was no space on the actual list for an E of equivalent size)

That list is my new bible...I live by it!

I have this thing for remixed Dir en Grey songs on the Kai album...I dunno, their old stuff is cool...the new stuff, not so much...

Anyhow, do this thing below me (which I took from Kevin's LJ)

1) Reply with your name and I'll respond with something random about you.
2) I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3) I'll pick a flavor/color of jello to wrestle with you in.
4) I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5) I'll tell you my first memory of you.
6) I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7) I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8) If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal.

How I screwed up in computer science

2006-01-25T16:55:00.000-05:00

Alright today was going great up until the end of school.

Ironic, no?

I went into Mr. Little's class for some help with computer science (Java & Object Oriented Programming). Curtchley and Will came in shortly after I arrived and we began bantering. All this while, Will is unplugging my keyboard as I try to login. I would have to walk all the way around until I got to the port and replugged it.
Eventually I just decided to go over the desk, but not before some careful planning. I carefully put the keyboard off to the side, well out of the way of my feet, carefully stepped up onto the desk and hopped off onto the far side.
Mr. Little did not see this in the same economic, time-saving light that I had. He snapped and had Will and myself outed from his class. I realize now how stupid what I did was, but I did not expect to get kicked out for it.

Anyhow, I got no work done and learned nothing and this leaves me still at square one. Due to Mr. Little taking university courses, there are very few nights that he can offer after-school help...but even more importantly, I feel I may have ruined the already fragile understanding we had reached with each other.

Fuck.

I need to study for a civics exam on Friday,

Bye.

Square One, Transamerica and the Best Day of My Life in a Long Time

2006-01-22T18:11:00.000-05:00

Book: Re-reading Eragon before I start Eldest - Christopher Paolini

Alright, I would have to say that yesterday was the best day I have had in a long time.

Lauren, Jess and I met at Eglinton and hurried over to Islington and I thought that Jacob was coming to meet us there. After an hour we decided to go to Square One anyway. The bus ride was looonnngg but we had Mississauga gangsters to entertain us...these guys were hilarious and so harmless.
Anyhow we got there and went looking for Jacob and Co. We all popped into an HMV and I was informally introduced to Sigur Rós (Sayur Rohss). I haven't listened to any of their music but I plan too.
Leaving HMV rather depressed that we hadn't found Jacob by then, Lauren and I set off to the back of the mall and lo and behold, JACOB! I tackled him and he was like "Uh, what the hell?!" but then recognized me, thank god. Went shopping after that until we left at like 5:30...or something like that.

I hate Mississauga Transit! It is the most annoyingly confusing thing ever. You can't use TTC tickets on their buses even though the TTC borders MT. The foolishness of this was concured by Jess and Lauren.

Upon getting back to Eglinton, it was decided we all needed to see a movie and so went to see Transamerica. It was so funny! There was a ton of frontal nudity o__o;. The name of the porn that the kid ended up doing was sooo funny! Cowabunghole! XD! Jess, Lauren and I were howling with laughter all the way out of the theatre.

I loved Bree's sister, Sidney. A round table Amen from everybody and she goes, "Salaam Israel." Hilarious!!!

Anyhow it was a great day!

I am never pulling an all nighter again as long as I live!

2006-01-15T17:58:00.000-05:00

I feel like death warmed over. It's painful! I am never, ever pulling an all-nighter as long as I live...*yawn*.

Anyhow, I have so much work to do! Bleargh T____T

Readability Score

2006-01-08T15:05:00.000-05:00

I was just looking over options in Microsoft Word when I stumbled across the Flesch-Kincaid reading grade counter. It is an absolutely delightful little tool. Anyhow, I didn't know what the Flesch-Kincaid reading grade scale was so I went looking out for it.

Some of my writing is good and some of it leaves something to be desired. The good that comes out of all of this is that my school writing takes on a much greater grade than my blogging.

Here is a summary of my writing from the Pillows, Depressing Lack of Light & Groceries post.

Readability Scores

The text you entered has been checked, and scored as follows:

Flesch-Kincaid Reading Ease: 57
Ideally, web page text should be around the 60 to 80 mark on this scale. The higher the score, the more readable the text.

Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level: 7
Ideally, web page text should be around the 6 to 7 mark on this scale. The lower the score, the more readable the text.

Gunning-Fog Index: 14
Ideally, web page text should be between 11 and 15 on this scale. The lower the score, the more readable the text. (Anything over 22 should be considered the equivalent of post-graduate level text).

Not bad, it does meet Internet standards.

This from a newspaper article summary for a civics project.

Readability Scores

The text you entered has been checked, and scored as follows:

Flesch-Kincaid Reading Ease: 36
Ideally, web page text should be around the 60 to 80 mark on this scale. The higher the score, the more readable the text.

Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level: 12
Ideally, web page text should be around the 6 to 7 mark on this scale. The lower the score, the more readable the text.

Gunning-Fog Index: 20
Ideally, web page text should be between 11 and 15 on this scale. The lower the score, the more readable the text. (Anything over 22 should be considered the equivalent of post-graduate level text).

I'm rather pleased with my school writing score. I do endeavour to work on my blog style and grammar though...that is what is to be desired.

The test results came from the ILoveJackDaniels.com website. Here is the link to the tool.

Interesting e-mail I got today..

2006-01-07T19:36:00.000-05:00

Alright, I got this e-mail from Saxon and I figured I would post in my blog..

here goes

Describe ME in ONE WORD...just one word!

Send it to me only, then send this message to your friends and see how many strange or wonderful things people say about you!

This could be fun! Its easier than those long drawn out survey's....:o)

Alright then, have at it!

Screwed! Totally bloody screwed...and Aoi is adorable!!!

2006-01-05T12:33:00.000-05:00

GRRR! My blasted iPod can't seem to go through one whole uploading session without failing numerous times. I just had the bloody thing fixed ONE MONTH ago and now problems!

*sigh*

All of that work that I mentioned yesterday, that was of the utmost urgency...I utterly failed to do...I never even looked at it! I am a total failure when it comes to completing goals. Now I have to pack (albeit lightly, so it shouldn't be too bad) for this ski trip, which I would absolutely love to go to if the work situation was somewhat less pressing.

Currently, I'm self teaching myself to play the guitar, and the only reason this springs to mind is because my fingertips really, really hurt!

OHHH! I really want to cosplay (which everytime, I say I am going to cosplay, I end up doing absolutely nothing...again with the not being able to complete goals...*sigh*) Ruki (Gazette) from the Reila PV.

Though I do believe that for Anime North (the one and only convention I have ever previously been to) I am going as Raito from Death Note. YAY! Anjii may be going as L, which is perfect! The cosplay shouldn't be overly difficult, just a white button-up shirt and a red tie...black pants I presume, and the defining piece...the Death Note, which can't be too hard to make.

I had best finish up my packing now...bye, bye...

Hello...

It is an absolutely depressing shade of dark outside at 16:15 Eastern Standard. The second week of this much needed Christmas holiday is snowballing into a lack of sleep and lack of stuff to do...It's almost like being back at school.

*Shudder*

I ruined my shoulder muscle group today by hauling home two bags of milk and a two litre carton of orange juice. My damnable brother dashes away from the checkout with the cereal and bread and light stuff, leaving poor little me with all the carting and moving of milk and orange juice.

Then, because of Christmas and New Years and my ridiculous consumption of grossly high fat foods, I went nuts and have been recently addicted to V8 Juice...all those wholesome vegetables...but it was desperately needed...nothing like eggs benedict (hmmmm hollandaise) and egg nog for breakfast for the last two days.

In other news...New Year's was uneventful, FINALLY! Not doing anything for this completely overated occasion is so nice! Last year was terrible, positively terrible; I won't be going into it however.

Oh my god! I almost forgot...Anjii and Jess got me a squishy Ultraman pillow from either P-mall or Chinatown...most likely Pacific Mall...anyhow, IT IS THE NICEST PILLOW I HAVE EVER OWNED! When I originally got it, I thought that the red antenna part was a nose...and so he was upside down for a few days, until i looked at the tag on the side. I will post a picture of it at some point...maybe by the end of this post if the camera stumbles into view.

(^ I ^ FOUND ^ THE ^ CAMERA ^ LOOK ^ AT ^ THE ^ TOP^)

THANK YOU SO MUCH ANJII & JESS!!!!

Well bye, bye for now..

I'm BACK!

2005-08-30T22:53:00.000-04:00

Hello friends! I return!
Yes, that is right, the one you thought had died on some remote island in the Atlantic Maratimes, lives on! The one who's cell phone got disconnected because it was deemed lost forever when in fact it had just became lodged in the springs of a chair and finally three weeks later, he bothered to get up to his elbows in fluff to dig it out...yes, I have returned!
PEI was a fucking amazing time and as I sit here now, I am extremely depressed about having to leave. I got my first paycheck ever and so that was cool. There was so much stuff that I did!

Let us recount...

Ironing in laundry
Waiting upon rich old people, who are extremely bitter and cranky (more on this to follow)
Taking calls in the office at 12:30, and dealing with yet another bitter older gent as he decides to call and annouce at 12:30, that he was delayed coming across the bridge and would care to inform me that he will be checking in at 1:30 AM! Yay..

There was a ton of other stuff as well.

Oh, then there was the staff party where I got...not wasted, per say, but the jello shooters where great!

Let me explain: When you make jello, you need a cup of cold water and a cup of hot water. For the jello shooters, all you do is subsititute the cold water for vodka, rum, or any other alcohol that tickles your fancy. Apply a dollop of whipped cream and enjoy! Tasty.

I followed that up with 3 excellent pousse-cafe (layered drink) B-52. Bailey's, Grand Marnier, Tia Maria. There was some rum, some scotch, some wine...drinks...

I proceeded to bed at 3 AM. I awoke for work at 6:45

PEI PICTURES!!!

2005-08-20T12:43:00.000-04:00

So! I finally managed to take a few pictures and now you all get to see them! This is but a minor tasting of PEI. I don't have any pictures of the beach however, and intend to take some of those.

To all of the people that I'm missing in Toronto, my love.

This picture was me being bored and putting the lens inside a shot glass.

FLOWERS!

This tree is on the lane to the beach.

The hotel!

2005-08-18T20:51:00.000-04:00

Soo...I finally have a couple of steady jobs!

I work in the hotel office
I work doing dishes
I work after-hours cleaning up the bar, storing all of the glasses, wine, alcohol, etc
I mow the lawns, do any yardwork
I help the laundry ladies pick up and move all of the linens and towels
I do any other odd jobs

So YAY! This can hopefully pay for my hard disk that needs replacing and give me a sense of security, as I never have enough money to go and enjoy myself.

Alright I have to go and babysit my siblings for the remainder of the evening,

Zol

fuck..

2005-08-12T12:03:00.000-04:00

Sunday Buffet (aka BLAGGH)

2005-08-07T19:59:00.000-04:00

Oh god...pain

PAIN

Blah

Just now, not five minutes prior to this time of writing, I have just finished a meal that is slowly working to kill me. The Sunday buffet is such a delight, but no matter how little I try to eat, I always seem to become unnecessarily gluttonous and then I have to sprawl somewhere until children come to check if I still live.

Right now, I happen to be lying behind a hay bale. Luckily I still get internet from this distance. Woot for wi-fi! Pain...

I think I should kill myself, lest my stomach suddenly decides to contract and I either vomit (unglorifying) or explode (messy but exciting).

Okee,

I grow tired and must leave now...

Shaw's Hotel declared a national historic site!

2005-08-06T21:22:00.000-04:00

YAY!
Today Shaw's Hotel was declared a national historic site! Wheeee! There were a LOT of speeches and then a wondeful reception. I consumed copious amounts of rum and coke. God bless PEI! Also, I took the Honda (stick shift) for a drive on the highway. Now, when I say highway, I mean the PEI TransCanada Highway...two lanes...yes...
Anywho it was a lot of fun and the car didn't stall! YAY!

Well I'm looking foreward to a whole day at the beach, so I think I'll go and read for a bit, then tuck off to bed...

G'night

What Type Of Killer Are You?

2005-08-03T02:58:00.000-04:00

You are an
assassin.
That means you are a professional and do your
job without mixing any emotions in it. In your
life you have probably been hurt many times and
have gotten some mental scars. This results in
you being distant from people. Though many
think that you are evil, you are not. What you
really are is a person, trying to forget your
pain and past. You are the person who never
seems to care and that is why being an assassin
fits you good. At least, that's what people
think. Even if you don't care that much for
your victims, you still have the ability to
care and to generally feel. It is not lost,
just a little forgotten. In crowds you tend to
go unnoticed noticed, and dress in black or other
discrete colours. You don't like being in the
spotlight and wish people would just leave you
alone. But once you do get close to someone you
have a hard time letting go and get real down
if you loose him/her.

Main weapon: Sniper
Quote: "The walls we build around
us to keep out the sadness also keep out the
joy" -Jim Rohn

What Weapon Best Represents Your Personality?

2005-08-03T02:45:00.000-04:00

Your personality is best represented by the
traditional Japanese Katana. You are brave
beyond words and rarely (if ever) act for your
own personal gain. Your honor is very
important to you, and you strive to better
yourself and help others. You try not to let
emotions get in the way of making a sound
decision, and are usually quite successful.

How do you sleep?

2005-08-03T02:42:00.000-04:00

You dont sleep. It's not because you love life too
much to lay your head down, it's because you
can't or just dont want to. Sleep? Who cares,
right? In fact, who really cares about
anything? You dont. Maybe you're mad at
someone for something they did, but its
probably more than just one person who has
pissed you off. People have probably told you
to get over your issues lots of times, but
thats just because most of them dont understand
how deep some scars can go.

Almost getting mugged for the first time

2005-07-18T22:01:00.000-04:00

Today was an interesting day.

I almost got mugged. It was an exciting and hilarious experience.

This black guy wanders up and says something unintelligible and Geoff (who was with me at the time) and I are completely bewildered. The guy then tells us to empty our pockets, which Geoff kindly refuses to do. Being completely new to this sort of situation, I sit back and observe the proceedings with bemused bewilderment. Geoff tries to stand up, the black guy hits him solidly in the chest, where his ribs meet. Basically he hits solid bone and Geoff is unfazed and stands up. This intimidates the hell out of the guy, who takes one last ditch effort to save his dignity but ultimately fails and decides to move on.

Looking back on the whole thing, it was bloody hilarious! The best line that came out of the entire thing was when the guy got really close to Geoff and Geoff pushed him back, followed by the barely intelligible retort:

"Yo nigga! You touch me again and I snap yo! Lay you out boy!"

A completely unprovoked half-assed mugging attempt in broad daylight at a school. Christ, where do these people come from?

Did I mention that he was alone? Yeah...

Anyhow I have a ton of summer school homework to take care of...so...

Sayonara,

Which File Extension are You?

WOO!

Summer school, beer and sleeping in math

2005-07-11T22:36:00.000-04:00

Ok, today could not have gone much better. Went over to Kirt's for lunch and enjoyed a liquid lunch of beer. Mind you, I hadn't had anything to eat, so the alcohol hit the bloodstream rather quickly. Needless to say, I got back to math, slightly lightheaded. Fell asleep for an hour and a half.

That's about today.

Now I have a shit load of homework to take care of. Ugh...

Centre Island!

2005-07-11T00:07:00.000-04:00

Yesterday, Cameron and I went to Centre Island!

It was so much fun! Squeeee! I had an awesome time and then got home at like 22:45 (just did not feel like putting PM so I did 24-hr time instead!) and ended up getting off at the Lawrence subway stop into the middle of "The Incredibles" playing on a huge screen. The Yonge Street festival was in full swing and happening! Woo!...God it was awesome!

I had a fucking amazing day (though I was more than mildly violated) and it worked wonderfully and I'm still living off the excitement well into today.

In other news I was playing Jade Empire today and was so far into it...then I felt sick and stopped. I was hoping to beat it today, but didn't manage it. *sigh*

In still other news, my friend Katherine, who was visiting London was in the station where the bomb went off twenty minutes before the bombs exploded! Mother Mary full of grace! I'm so glad she's safe!

Well I'm off, summer school tomorrow x_x

Hehe!

2005-07-07T22:32:00.000-04:00

First things...

Summer school sucks...terribly...what a waste of my time. I would rather do it now than next year however. Only 15 more days of it...whatever, I'll live.

I started a novel today in math. It's called "Firestarter"...for now...let's call that a codename. I'm hoping to actually turn it into something! Squee! Anyhow, it's a cute little story. Kinda mild bondage themes (leashes and collars, nothing overly creepy), and some yaoi...squee!

We'll see how that pans out...

Lastly, I finally have a cosplay project going! Howl! From "Howl's Moving Castle" Hmmm, he's sexy...

Sayonara,

Zolarius

Squee...

I'm back again....

2005-06-17T10:41:00.000-04:00

it has been a long time and i haven't posted in an age...well now i return

now for some social commentary:

why the fuck are the backstreet boys releasing a new album?! could they not just please roll over and die...

exams have been only a mild annoyance and i am doing suprisingly well on them, thank god! if i don't screw these up, then perhaps i won't have to go to summer school.

and in other news...NYAH!

back to the game of living...

went this evening and it was alright. met this guy named Saar, who is a friend of George. he was pretty cool and sexy. nee...

fun fair...and how it was a relative non-event

2005-05-07T23:07:00.000-04:00

my school had a fun fair. it was pretty dull. being flamboyant and crazy in front of little kids was fun though (don't worry, no slandering of profanity). i got my hair sprayed purple. that was awesome. then i got my nails painted dark purple...they had no black which sucked, but i quickly got over it, as purple was that much more flamboyant. i also had a collar on, so i got the consistent look from everyone.
then i went and spent the rest of the day with my friends. that was awesome!

i want Bawls (high-caffeine guarana drink)...i need to buzz.

oh and at the fun fair we were frolicking! we ran out into a field and then spun about, after which we tried to walk in a straight line but failed miserably then fell onto the grass and looked at the sky.

oh it was so much fun!

OH MY GOD! commonly foreshortened to OMG!

2005-05-03T22:40:00.000-04:00

i had sex. did ecstasy...

1:16 AM

2005-05-02T01:16:00.000-04:00

alright, it's early morning (really fucking early) on may the second. so tired, but i can't sleep.

i don't really know what to write, just that i wanted to write.

it might be early enough to be considered the previous day...i dunno...technically it's not, but until 5:30 AM most people don't notice a difference in days. by most people, i mean me, because i clearly speak for everyone.
i need some excitement...i know! let's go paintballing!...except i've never paintballed in my life. yay! pelted by high velocity, paint filled platic spheres! Let's do this! *growl* *angry face*

anyhow enough machoism (no not masochism, for people who cannot take the time to read words). i am so tired...blargh...enough about me...on my blog...yes. my room is all clean now! yay! i finally organized all of my notes that were scattered everywhere!

fuck this...i need sleep

5 days gone and no post...

2005-04-27T18:26:00.000-04:00

i'm back...i know it's been 5 days and i haven't posted, i'm sorry.

alright time to stop talking like i have a following at this blog.

i'm just up writing a script for a graphic novel i want to do, and my screenplay is looking great. last night i started the prologue to a book that flew out of nowhere. i haven't felt this much inspiration in a long time. the novel has no title as of yet, hell the prologue might not even get off the ground, but this feeling of working is great!

short post for today, just to catch up...i have things to do...

report cards and babysitting

Music: Electrical Storm (William Orbit Mix) - U2
Book: Shake Hands With The Devil - LGen. Romeo Dallaire

alright...so i had to leave a party to come and babysit...fuck! now i'm away blogging and being a bitch. fuck fuck fuck! it was such a fun party too! i kissed this guy on the forehead and he didn't notice for like five minutes...XP (he happened to be straight, that's the point of my bringing it up) he was cool with it and all but it freaked him out, how terrible his reaction time was.
i'm failing two courses...french and geography...woo...
anime north is coming!!! KE!
i feel really sick right now, like when i felt sick at lunch today. not vomiting sick, but stomach getting smaller and twisting and pain...lots of pain. i need food...mraw...
i'm going to comicon on sunday, so that gives the weekend some jazz...yes *enthusiasm*...i feel dead tired. i had like two hours of sleep a night over the last week. 14 hours of sleep...brilliant...i'm an idiot...

Saratonin lack...

2005-04-19T22:08:00.000-04:00

I sit here and suffer from saratonin lack (spelling?)...the drug that moderates happiness...basically i'm just speaking fancilly and describing my depression. not clinical depression, mind you, but more along the lines of a low point in my life. my tutor thinks its clinical though and she seems to deem it upon herself to cure me, like some bloody messiah.
oohhh....messiah brings about talk of the new pope. i want a nice, liberal pope. for those of you who aren't friends of mine reading this blog, i'm bisexual. moving along, a liberal pope would be great. problem is, the very conservative John Paul II appointed a majority of conservative cardinals. which means that the vote for a liberal pope is fucked. i hope they fly the white smoke (signal that a new pope has been appointed) within the week. all this waiting is driving me up the wall. also, in case the above has led you astray, i'm not religious.
if any of you reading this live in toronto, i have the answer to all of your newspaper problems. DOSE! dose is an amazing newspaper that i love! i've been collecting it every day since the third day of its release and horde them in a pile in behind my bagpipe case. yes i play the bagpipes...

this turned into an awfully personal post...

meh,

OH THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY

2005-04-15T18:03:00.000-04:00

jesus it's been a long day.

this guy named tyler tried to hit on me today...*shudder*...he has a mullet and smells of urine. *shudder*...moving along. the day went alright, had to ditch what would have been an amusing party for some bloody science project thing...grrr.
played guilty-gear x2 today and button-mashed for my life! i won against one person, lost against another and then moved on. the guy...bridgette (he was raised as a girl) has some annoying little teddy bear that he throws out and stuff.
anyhow...i'm tired and can't wait for Anime North! soon...very soon. *whimpers*
i don't have any cosplay together for AN which is kinda sad, but i can live with it. i really wanted to cosplay Ritsuka from "Loveless"...cute yaoi manga...hee! x3

long train runnin'

2005-04-13T20:20:00.000-04:00

Music: Long Train Runnin' - Doobie Brothers
Book: Enter Avariz - Mark Ngui (comic)

in case you haven't guessed it correctly yet, i'm naming my posts after songs i happen to be listening to. i love the doobie brothers. no i don't do weed.

anyhow...i stayed up until 2:43 last night working on a science poster that turned out famously, if i say so myself. the group seemed happy with it so that was great. other than that life is on a downward spiral. my math teacher called my parents to express her concern, the same from both french and science. pity, now i have to put up with constant badgering by my parental units. three point one-five years until i am free to go to university (assuming i pass and get the bloody diploma). i really want to go to dalhousie university in halifax but apparently that is one of the more expensive schools in the country, so looks like i'll be needing a fine scholarship...great (adds to list of things to do with life)...

i'm drinking one of the best cups of green tea i've had in a while. yum...and Enter Avariz is a great comic. it's a witty look at the life of corporate whore machines. the corporate tapeworm is particularly amusing.

well now i have to go and find out about the dates for summer school...scary...

Music: Logic Song - Supertramp
Book: 1984 - George Orwell

sundays really suck...it's fucking gorgeous out. i have so much homework so i can't go outside. this is fucking awful. i can hear the laughter of the little children and it drives me insane. i need to go outside again...getting stir crazy. i have laundry to do and my room needs cleaning. damnit!
the TTC is on strike (my public transit for people out of area reading this)...so travelling to school just got a million times more painful. everything is kind of going downhill today. went onto the roof of my church today with some people...it was really nice and warm...
this is just a bad fucking day. i think i'm just going to keep muttering to myself and bitching. well...i have a lot of work to get done before this day closes, so goodbye...

home and exhausted...

2005-04-07T18:36:00.000-04:00

well i just got home from school and i am dead tired. there are things to look forward to though *sarcasm sarcasm*...ironing, so much ironing. i feel like i'm in university, for all of the independent tasks i undergo (doing my own laundry, cleaning all my own stuff, ironing my stuff, buying a lot of my own clothes now...) i like the independence though.
school was hell today, but that's normal. i'm doing alright and my geography mark is moving up thank god! i don't really know what i should be saying anymore so i'm going to say goodbye

crazy doses of misinformation...

Music: Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
Book: Pattern Recognition - William Gibson

Shit has been spiralling out of control out here. A friend of mine disappeared for a little while yesterday and is now safely home...just felt like venting that to the page. I feel better now. Now I have other friends that feel depressed and need consoling. Which I'm bloody terrible at. Now that this is done and over with I can breath a little easier.
Hope everyone is feeling good and fine this evening. If they aren't, well my sympathies for whatever may be occuring in your life.
A friend of mine just got out of surgery today and is doing extremely well. Her body did reject the anaesthetic though, so she's a little sore. I feel like posting everything tonight...

I'm gone...night...

Drowning...drowning...gone...

Well the title should be enough to suggest the state of things with me (if you've been in a coma, check the title of my last post). I am at a loss for words as to what the hell is happening to my delicate little stone castle of emotionlessness. For they have besieged the gates and broken into the main courtyard, but dare they take the keep!?
Enough prose and metaphor aside, I'm confused...

2005-04-05T20:58:00.000-04:00

Oh dear God...things happend yesterday that scared the fuck out of me...let us hope they are never repeated...anyhow

I am at a loss to explain why I woke curled up under my desk at 3 AM this morning. Fell asleep in first period. Why did this occur(sleeping under the desk, not first period)? I blame someone named Fridge. Damn him. That's all I have to say.

Now if you don't mind...I'm going to get a bit more sleep...こんばんは (my apologies if my Japanese is off)

Mondays...

2005-04-04T20:26:00.000-04:00

Mondays are the worst days of the week. I think this is unanimous in it's decision...

It seems that friends of mine want to get me drugged on ecstasy for Anime North. Well, I'll be having nothing to do with that, and that's mostly a more protective friends doing. It's nice to have people who care. Besides, me on E would be terrible.

I feel really tired now. I heard that the Tragically Hip concert in Toronto sucked which is kinda sad. Apparently the lead singer (no I'm not a huge fan) was screwing around and messed up. Whatever, it doesn't make some of their finely tuned (by sound engineers) songs any different.

Well, I need to go hunting food...

Alright, here I am in my room, writing my first post for my blog and my friends have made a massive mess of it. This will be fun to clean up later. So far, two of them are asleep on my bed and two of them are sitting on my couch. I'm sitting cross-legged on the floor typing and they have no idea. I guess they could sue me for talking about them without their consent, but as I haven't mentioned any names then I think I'm safe.
Daylight savings time sucks. I might upload some pictures of this insanity going on here later.
