*sings* Patricia, where have you been? Chilling with Method and jamming with Queen. Patricia, what's in a name? Tell me some lies and I'll slide you the same. (Patricia, Flashlight Brown)
Today was a weird day. I finally got those big ass pants and wore them to school. They were the attraction for a lot of eyes and comments. Hehe. Fortunately most of the comments weren't anything bad.
We had music festival today, and...
WE SUCKED!
As usual. I don't know why Mrs. Haley has to have a freaking seizure and spend an entire bus ride lecturing about technical errors and whatever. No one cares. We all know that we kicked more ass last year than we ever did this year. *shrugs* Mrs Haley was saying that if she found out who said that we sucked, she would kick us out of band. Thats violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and fuckin' Freedoms right freakin there! Sheesh.
Anyways we still had half an hour left of last period today when we got back but we didn't feel like going, so we sat in the cafeteria, drank tea and played guitar. Oh yes. Us hippies. ^_~

I updated the special thanks and added more people. Some unspecifically. Just read, darling.Thirty days has September, April, June, and November. So that means, in six days, it will be May. And then I can officially log back onto the school computers and continue making posts on my website from there. Meghan came over today. We tried to use the record player in the basement to play my new Flock Of Seagulls record, but we couldn't get the sound to work properly (grrrr) so we listened to a tape of the Ramones that we found. We were supposed to be practicing this song, but we only actually went through it once on flute, and then we took out all these old toys like this old Sesame Street racetrack thing from when I was little. All the pieces of the track are letters of the alphabet, and we made tracks with the letters of our names. There's this little car thats supposed to run on it. But it didn't work anymore.
I think I got the trait of being stubborn from my mom. I simply refused to believe that this little toy that I'd worshipped as a kid, didn't work anymore. So I spent like an hour dissecting the whole train, figuring out how all the gears and the teeny motor worked, put in new wires and rearranged all the pieces (they kind of flew everywhere when I opened it so I had to guess how to put them all back), and finally, it worked.
Except for some gay ass reason, it only goes backwards.
*tear*
Ahaha oh well. I can pretend I'm smart, but it's not always going to work, is it? Hahahaha.

This month I've been making the least amount of posts. I guess the internet doesn't really hold much thrill for me anymore. Things are so much better in reality, you know?

Last night I went to the movies. And now that I'm thinking about it, I get the phrases "Can I take you to the movies, I'll buy you popcorn and candy, they will make you fat and ugly" playing in my head (Butterball, by Flashlight Brown). It was pretty good, but aaah. I'm running out of money. Theres these 50$ pants that I want SO bad, I hope no one's bought them yet. I'm going to try to get them afterschool on Monday from the Retro Store. If I get them, I'll take a pic and scan it and put it here. Oh god they're SUCH the coolest pants. <3

Today I went to Tommy's house. We walked around Kentville a little bit and went to the park. (And stalked little kids with sticks. Oh we're such a team. hehe.) The weather was pretty sick today. It was all cloudy, but for a while the sun came out. Then it clouded over and rained and snowed a bit. Tomorrow it's supposed to be sunny.

Hi! The baby wasn't so bad last night. She cried a lot. But I figured out how to get the keys in right, so phew. It was a lot better than I thought it would be. It's funny, cause I think the point of it was to teach you that it's hard to look after a kid, but it seemed really easy to me. My baby had this pen mark on its face so I was trying to use all this stuff to get rid of it and I tried using this nail polish remover stuff and the hair started coming off. Haha. People are so mean, writing on my baby. Haha. Well I'm pretty tired today, it really hit home in last period and I felt really sick and delirious and was writing random things about Hamtaro on Micheala. Anyways I'm off now. No one's online and I'm lonely and its raining. Feeling crappy.

Ahh it cried and the stupid clothes got in the way and I was all. Aaaah. Cause the key wouldnt go in. And it was taking too long. And I forgot which key it was... baah.

Hey. Sorry for the lacking on the updates. Today is such a beautiful day. My second day of school this week. I have to look after a baby tonight. The mannequins with the little box in the back that cry at little intervals and stuff. It hasn't cried once yet, and that makes me very nervous. I have the girl one. I'm thinking maybe it'll keep me up all night. Or at this rate it'll just sit there quiet and not cry at all. I kind of want to stay up all night. Just to see how badly I'll do on that Science test tomorrow if I do. Maybe I can go home before I have to take the test. I have so much spare time on my hands it seems, that all I do now is think. And you know how overthinking can be a bad thing. Last night all I did was listen to all these old songs from like grade eight and attack my room trying to figure out what to wear to the movies on Friday night. (Tommy <3) Anyways I'm off now. I hope the baby cries soon so then it wont cry again for a while. Its like a ticking time bomb, it makes me so paranoid and nervous.

Aaah I'm so sick. I feel horrible today. I took like five pills of Dayquil yesterday but they just don't work anymore. Maybe I'm getting immune to them. I should probably take more today though. I went to the movies last night; I saw the Girl Next Door. Haha. I think the best part was when that guys all screaming, "If you don't fuck her, I'll kill myself! Come on! Fuck her for me! Do it for me!" Hahaha oh god. I wish I could do something with someone today but I'm just so sick that I don't really have the ability to do much of anything. I figure I'll just sit around and call people all day.
Anyways I'm off now. I'm scared that I'm gonna sneeze and put my head through the monitor. haha. Actually, no I'm not, but it would be quite an interesting scenario. <3

Whoa! Sorry for the MAJOR lack of updates.
April 13th I served my first detention, Micheala joined me, hahaha. She came to detention on her own free will. I skipped the next day because it wasn't really open. I came back twice and it still wasn't open, and I felt stupid standing around waiting for detention to open, so fuckit, I left. And then on Thursday the Vice Principals found me in English and gave me another two for skipping that last one. Hahaha. Next Tuesday and Wednesday.

The PEI billets came down. The first night, Wednesday, we all had a social at school, where they organized us by our birth months. I didn't feel like being split up, so I went to May with Erica (who was actually born in May), and Charlotte and Melissa (who weren't). Evan was all, youre not born in May, and I was all, you don't even know me, What's your name? Are you from PEI? And then Erica, Char and Melissa went up and sang "I want your mom" (a parody of I Want It That Way by the Backstreet Boys) and everyone laughed to death. Then we ran outside before anyone could stop us and loitered outside for like fourty five minutes. (Maybe that explains why I'm sick now.) And I tried to slide down the banister, flipped off, sprained my ankle and bruised my knee. I had to wrap it.

The Next Day, we had a rehearsal at night and then we went bowling. Erica kept grabbing Jeff's (aka TinTin's - not Kingsbury) ass. And then her and Alana went up to him and said that Those Girls (gesturing over at us) thought he was cute and wanted to know his name. Hahaha. That was fun. I didn't actually bowl, but it was fun hanging around and just socializing.

Friday we went to the city. Erica and I spent the whole day together. We rode up on the PEI bus because they had the best seats. We sat infront of Jeff and a chaperone and around all these PEI kids. They kept playing Country Music and I was Horrified. But I took out this manuscript that Meghan found once at Choir by this Beano Brown character, and everyone in the backseats listened while the Chaperone did the little What Personality Are You test. Haha. My marks were all over the board. Jeff was "Nelly. You Win." Ahaha. Then we saw that movie at the Imax and Erica stole the glasses. I tried to fall asleep (the roaring engines is like a super loud white noise) and couldnt (booster seats are quite hard on your ass). Then we went to the mall, and I bought a Ramones CD, Incense and caaandy. Lots of Candy. Then we went to this glow in the dark mini putt, which wasn't so bad, except that there was like a hundred people in there. The drive back was weird, me and Erica were the only Horton kids on the Charlottetown bus. Hahaha.

Last night was fucking AWESOME. We had a concert where I felt like I was going to vomit all over my stand the whole time, which obviously wasn't the fun part. But after that we all got changed and had a dance. (The parents hung around and watchd for a while, -SO- not cool.) I wore my army print mini skirt and my brown Island Oasis tee. Unfortunately my Drink spilled in my bookbag and made it look like I had a major pit stain. Haha. It was so horrible. But it was dark, and it was hot in there so it dried fast. They turned the lights out at nine.

It was the best dance ever, because it was like, anonymous guys. So it was like, we decided that we weren't going to see these guys again for like a month, so what the hell, right? I slow danced with three guys. (I'm not sure about all their names, forgive me for mistakes.) Keifer, Luke, and Jeff. Keifer insisted that we run through all the couples. Which was dead amusing, despite the few dirty looks. Luke was cool, hes a friend of this Brandon guy who wears girls pants and is in an Emo band. (He's actually kinda cool too.) And Jeff was my fave. Cause we were all swaying exaggeratedly to the beat and talking about band and guitar and PEI. I told him he was pretty popular with the Horton girls. ^_~ We kept coming back to him on the fast dances. This time we pretty much danced every fast song in atleast one guys presence.

And then there was this one song and me and Meghan were dancing near Jeff, and I put my arm on his shoulder and we were toootally grinding! Holy crap. Ahaha he's so awesome. He totally gets into it. I'm not even gonna describe my reaction, cause this is a public website, but ooooh it was good.

Erica was grinding with a bunch of guys, and like three times with this guy who had a neck piercing. (I think his name might have been Oliver.) He reminds me of Cael. We table danced a bit too... one of the Horton kids (one of Jeff Kingsbury's clan. not Hot Jeff's clan. God I wish there was a difference in the spelling, it would make it easier to tell them apart) threw a bottle at us, so I threw it back at Cale. I love table dancing. No night is complete without table dancing.

Meghan got to dance with Duncan, and Erica and I were kinda jealous, hehe, cause he's a total catch. Anyway. Apparently there were some PEi girls that were telling Keifer and his friends not to hang around with us because we're "Sex Machines," but that's probably just because their definition of Sex is undoing their overalls. haha I'm kidding. I love the PEI kids. They just need to modernize a bit.

At the end of the night, we all did our hugs and said our goodbyes. They left this morning, and I'm kinda sad. I think I might have cried last night. But I can't wait to see them again. Wouldn't that be cool if I could billet at Jeff's house? Hehehehe. Oooh that could be fun.

Hey. I went wasting more money today. I spent 27$ at Econo and Dollarama. I swear, I am the thrift queen. I made some good steals, in my opinion. At Econo, I found five more records and they're all spread out on my bedsheet infront of me. I'm not entirely sure whether to keep them to actually listen to or to pin them on my walls. Its Ice House, Cheap Trick (Dad likes them, maybe he'll want the record, I know he has an 8track of them in the car), A Flock Of Seagulls (with "I Ran" on it! I'm toootally giving it to Micheala, hah), the Guess Who, and Styx. I also decided to buy the Strokes CD, "Is This It." Its alright, it's their first CD so it's a little shabby. I love "Someday," its probably my fave song of theirs on that CD. I also picked up The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers because I neglected to see it in theatres and have only seen it once (and I had to watch it all in french with the captions on in english so I'd know what they were saying. Not fun). Then I bought a purple garbage can and a purple CD rack (I dont know, I'm not trying to make my room all purple or anything, its just that the funky colors amuse me) and this cute little seashell/bowl/floating candle dealie. Its very cool.

12:19PM
Hey. Last night I was looking up stuff on Julian Casablancas of the Strokes, and I found this entertaining article about the most Boring Frontmen in Rock. (He was on the list.) The article was done by this Ostrich Ink online magazine thing, and although some of the topics are questionable (descriptive encounters with prostitutes? eeh not my fave), I found this article that made me die. Its about the sexiest non-sex scenes in movies. I had only seen like two of these movies, but the one on the Lion King made me laugh myself to death, which is hard to control at one in the morning when you're trying not to wake anyone up. Oh god its hilarious. I'm gonna watch that movie today, just to see if that dust cloud actually spells "sex." (probably not, but it'll be fun wasting time anyway.)

Happy Easter! I wonder how Micheala and Erica are doing for Easter. I got chocolate, the usual, blah. I hoarded it into my room. Right now (foodwise) I've got a box of easy mac (but of course I need to take it downstairs to make it cause I'm without water and a microwave here), a box of peanut butter bars (ohh yum), a kleenex box of chocolate eggs (ew), two solid bunnies (one of them is missing its head) and a hollow bunny (missing his eye. I always eat the eyes first, cause they taste so fab). The sun is setting, and I'm looking out my bedroom window. The shadows are really long and the snow is really starting to melt. Theres more grass than snow now, and that makes me really happy. Except the trees are still all bare. But the white houses are shining gold in the dying light, and its beautiful.

Hey. I added a new poem today called Phere Copyright. Its about this movie called Night Of The Living Dead. Cause I wrote it when I was watching that. Its a kickass move. Indulge and read the poem.

Incense + Led Zeppelin = Happy Saturday Morning!
The sun in shining, the incense is burning. And choruses of "All of my love" are filling the air. I'm going to Melissa's today to burn off some bday cash. I'm saving some for the Halifax trip next week with the PEI kids, and then I'm gonna start saving for an acoustic guitar. Dad took the Fender with him to Cuba, so now I am acoustic-less (unless you count those pathetic chunks of wood and string that they call "student guitars"). I'm really getting used to the novelty of having a laptop in my room, however unpermissable that is. I seem to have problems with computers, privacy and boundaries. But dad lets me use his laptop so this had better be cool. I'm relaxed, god this is great. Everyone should have mix tapes of Led Zeppelin and stashes of burning.

Hey! Oh MAN its such a beautiful day! Meghan came over and we watched some Vines videos. Then we walked up to the corner store across from EMS and these guys drove by and stuck their heads out the window and yelled "YOURE HOT!" Excluding the shallowness of that, I think its totally cool, and flattering. Makes me think of summer, more than anything. We bought five dollars worth of junk and walked up to EMS where we ran into Sam and Vanessa. We couldnt get my bottle of pop open so I progressed to smashing it into the wall until there was a hole in the cap (but the cap wouldnt come OFF!) so Vanessa drank it and then I smashed it against the wall into little pieces. Meghan was all, someone could get hurt, and I was all, yes, good point, and then casually swept the pieces out into the open where more people could get hurt. Then we tried to go inside, cause we thought maybe there would be some teachers we knew in there. But it was this big bible convention with these creepish kids in shawls in dresses so we ran like bitches. Then we sat on the foursquare thing and ate mentos, and I carved "Crissi is your ruler! WORSHIP ME" into that big blue thing cause I never got to do that before. Theres not a lot of new stuff on there. Stupid preps.
My parents are gone now. They left. Their flight leaves at 6:00, I think. They're going to Cuba. Aren't they lucky? My grandparents are staying this week, and I'm on the laptop in my room cause I feel like it. Anyways I'm off now. Tar.

Helloo. Its Good Friday. I wish that stores were open because Meghans coming over and it would be so cool if we could walk over to Big Wedge for lunch. But. Stupid Good Friday. Blagh. Atleast theres no school. I have to serve two detentions next week for going on the teachers computer. It turns out that they do have a keystroker. *laughs* Micheala will be proud. I dont think she approves much of my relatively clean record. Everyones off at Deeper this weekend, so blaah. And I never got a hold of Micheala to get Tommy's number, so unless he calls me, I guess I cant really call him this weekend. Anyways. I made an iron on yesterday and put it on a shirt.

Isn't it fab? I <3 the vines.

Hey! It was my birfday yesterday. I had a smarties cake and pizza, but I was kinda nervous so I didn`t eat. Micheala and I went to the movies with Tommy and saw Taking Lives. Its a pretty good movie, but I definitely loved the Butterfly Effect more. Cause you could really prepare for everything that was gonna happen, you could tell when it was just too quiet, but then in the Butterfly Effect, it was like this big loud BOOM and all of a sudden, this guy is strangling his kid or burning dogs or yeaah. Micheala and I unscrewed the bottom of the airhockey table with our fingers so that when you pull on it, the puck slips out so that you can keep playing without paying. I`m pretty good at it, considering it was my first time, and I kept beating Micheala. Tommy paid for a game and he beat me, 7-6. But I think he was just being nice, haha. Then I went home and had pizza and talked to Micheala on the phone until 11. I still havent tried my cake yet, except once when the layers were cooling on the counter I decided that oh, `this piece is gonna fall right off,` and `if I take a knife, this piece will come off too`.... hahah.

hmm had to do my annoying science homework. Comeau gave us a shitload of questions. I couldnt answer some of them cause I simply had no bloody idea; we didn't exactly cover everything in the science textbook. I watched Son In Law today, and I swear the girl that plays Becca reminds me a lot of Rachel Leigh Cook. Its not her, but it still reminds me of her. Anyways. Im off.

Yesterdays fog was beautiful. Oh god if I were emo, I would have written a song about it. It was all misty and beautiful and you couldn't see jack shit. And the beams from headlights were cutting into the fog. The streetlamps look all bronze around them because of all that fog. It was so wicked.

I updated the About Me page yesterday. So check it out.

As a big supporter of multiple bands, I would like to inform of the following:
Rooney will be performing "I'm Shakin'" on Fox's On Air with Ryan Seacrest on April 13 at 4PM on Global. Spread the word and make sure everyone watches!!
and...
Rock Camp! The show will air on April 5th on CBC. The show will run TWICE a week on Mondays and Tuesdays. So the first week is April 5th and April 6th. It will run at 4:30PM.

Today's so gross outside. Its all foggy and cold and gross. Actually its above zero, which is nice, but it's just so foggy and creepy out there. I brought Kaitlyn her homework from yesterday. I'm so out of shape, I felt a cramp forming in my hip when I was walking back. Once it gets nicer outside, Erica and I are gonna start walking. Just for exercise. Sounds like fun.
I got two Vines singles in the mail today, to go with the one that I got a couple days earlier. Theyre the limited edition Australian singles, four in total. I'm still waiting on the last one. They look like this (this one is the fourth one of Hamish Rosser):

Welcome to a new Month. If you choose to indulge in the childish mockery, then, happy April Fools day. I dont think much of anything happened. Erica was gonna go do something at IDU today at EMS but I forgot to ask if anything happened. Haha. I put the content from last month into the Archives. Its fourth period and we're all in the lab messing around. I'm thinking we should all just decide to run away and hang out outside. Sam's quizzing Alana on this Slut Test and everyone's talking about group sex. The guy I like is in the next classroom, and we're making a lot of noise in here. Its great that the sub isn't doing anything about our insanity. Well Im out. <3
