Well it's 12:42 and I can't get to sleep...so...I may as well tell you what happened in the last week. This should take up some time that you would probably be wasting otherwise :P
Last saturday I went out for dinner with Mi and Cece. Went to Dave and Buster's, which has very good food. It did cost me more than most places though :/ We were joined after dinner by one of Mi's co-workers or something. He was nice. THen we spent a few hours playing in the arcade and wasting all our money. Cece and I ended playing alot of those silly token games, which are surprisingly addictive :/ So vivi spent alot that night...got home at around 10 or 11 maybe, I forget. Oh and I got a plush flower using 100 of the 500 or so credits I managed to get with Cece. She's keeping the rest in hopes of getting a glass chess set.
Sunday I got my computer fixed and returned to me. Of course it was missing a ton of stuff, and it seemed like some of my programs were replaced with older versions...but other than that I was pretty happy. Oh and my uncle came over to visit moe. Other than that I don't think anything else happened.
Monday brother came home ^_^ with his wife. They're expecting a kid sometime next year, which is fairly exciting. But anyway we didn't get to see them that day, what with being tired from travelling and all.
On tuesday brother and his family invitied grandma, moe and I out for tea. I drove :D Well my cousin rode in the car with me and moe, and we took a different route to the restaurant to scare my uncle :P Ye people of little faith. Anywho had lunch which consisted of dim sum, and then went home.
I think it was on wednesday that I went over to Jeff's house to play mah jong. Yes I am old and a dork :P That and I lost horribly :( Oi I suck... I drove myself to that too :P But then I forgot where he lived...and ended up calling him from right outside his house...*whaps herself upside the head* That's about all for wednesday.
Don't remember what happened yesterday...I don't think we did anything...but today we went out for lunch again with brother and his family. I drove ^_^ See I do get practice :P Driving in the rain wasn't too bad. Moe wasn't scarred too badly ;) and I got there before my cousin :D Lunch was yummy (more dim sum) and afterwards I took moe to kikiwai to buy things, then we went home :) that's all.
Oh and if you're wondering why I have a preson called brother in this blog it's because that's what I call one of my cousins. It feels wrong to call him anything else :P Oh and happy belated birthday to Ian who's birthday was yesterday :)

Hello, I haven't been online much lately due to the fact that my computer has come down with a stupid virus. All attempts to fix it have thus far been thwarted. I am most displeased. However not being able to get online has forced me to find other means of entertainment, which my father has been happy to supply.
The weekend up to monday was spent trying to find a solution to my computer problems. The only solution I have been able to formulate on my own is to A: get a new computer, B: reformat my existing computer, or C: wait for next years anti-virus program to come out so I can save myself the headache of trying to download it. Option B seems to be the most reasonable at this time...
Tuesday I had to go downtown because I am apparently too old to have a children's account at the bank. Which is of course proposterous considering I am only 19...Anyway they needed my signature or something to transfer my pitiful amout of money to a new account. That account will be made all the more pitiful after I pay my tuition and buy my textbooks :( I also finally got a proper handbag while I was downtown. Melissa can never complain again that I do not have my ID on me *cackle*
Wednesday was fairly uneventful. Although my dad did need to get some sort of owner's manual and took us on a car ride to various places for the hell of it.
Yesterday my dad drove my grandpa, my grandma, my sister and I to niagara falls. By some unspoken rule we must go at least once every summer -_- It has long since lost its luster for my sister and I. I was asleep for most of the ride there, possibly because I was bored out of my skull! But then we made a pit stop and my dad got us ice caps and I didn't fall asleep again for quite some time...The falls were boring as usual, but my grandparents had an ulterior motive for going. They really just wanted to check out the casinos... So moe pretty much had to wait outside...well at Casino Niagara anyway.
So while my dad and grandparents were inside, moe and I went to the tourist trap known as Clifton Hill. I hate that place... Then we went to some other casino that moe could go in (just not the gaming area) and we wandered a bit there too. Then my grandma wanted me to go in with her for unknown reasons, and I had to present my ID because I OBVIOUSLY don't look 19 -_- and they took forever with it while I stood there like an idiot...That was fun...but what we more fun was the fact that I had to get my hand stamped to go in...
After the whole casino thing we drove back home and then called up my uncle Peter and had dinner with him along with my grandparents. The peking duck was so good *drool* From that you can probably guess that yes we had chinese. Like we eat anything else...
Today was boring more bank stuff needing to be done because apparently something got messed up the first time. I hate growing up...Oh did I forget to mention that the lady who manages my bank account basically told me to find a nice asian boyfriend when we first went to see her on tuesday? Is that not the weirdest thing? I was weirded out by it...so yeah that's about it...God I wrote alot today...Anywho gotta go bye.

7-31-04
Yesterday I went out with Melis and Cece for a few hours. We went to the mall, and wandered around for a bit. I really need to get some clothes and stuff before I go back to school. Anyway after we finished shopping or whatecer we were going to go to a place called Dave & Buster's for dinner, but alas I was a dork and forgot my ID. So the doorman couldn't let me in. Words cannot express how utterly stupid I felt. But I have learned my lesson and it will never happen again, hopefully... We ended up going somewhere else for dinner. The food was good, but so pricey >_< Vivi is poor *sniff* Then we went to Melis' house for a bit because she needed to fix her contacts or something. After that we went out for dessert at one of those chinese bakery thingies. I felt really bad for eating that slice of cake...mostly because I had pasta for dinner, and cheesecake for lunch...Yes I am so unhealthy...Didn't get home till around 11. I was strangely tired yesterday and only stayed up till 1.
Got up at around 10 or something today, or was it 11...Went out for lunch at around 12:30 because it just wouldn't be a weekend if I didn't go out for lunch at least once with my family. Same place, same food, same people, I'm so boring >_< Moe needed to get a present for my other 'sister' so we went to the mall again. Moe dislikes malls, so she tried to speed everything along, which was next to impossible since my grandma kept disappearing, and wandering off on her own... SO I guess that's about all, I can't remember what else I was going to say...*kicks memory* Oh and have a great long weekend all you crazy Canadians.

7-25-04
Well it's been awhile since I've updated. Not much has happened lately. Friday I did the same thing I always do. Yesterday my aunt, uncle and cousin came over again and we went out for lunch like we always do, blah blah blah. But yesterday night I went out for a drive, which I've been doing more of lately. Anywho moe came with me. I don't think I scared her too bad :P But yea, we did some shopping and stuff. Had to drive more because the stores were closed. I mean it was only 8 so we figured they'd be open still... Oh and I got a mic. Which now that I think about it was a rather dumb move, considering I talk much less than I type. It's far more likely that i'll end up typing messages to you anyway :P Oh and I couldn't figure out how to get the mic to work for the longest time, which was rather frustrating. Turns out I set the wrong thingy on the program or whatever I was using.
Today my aunt and her family came over to visit us for no apparent reason. Which is always nice I suppose. They stayed for awhile just to talk. My cousins spent the visit watching anime with me and moe. Yea that's about all for now I guess. I forgot everything that happened last week anyway.

7-11-04
This has been a fairly busy weekend. Not that I'm complaining, it's been a ton of fun too ^_^ Plus Vivi has been sleeping well, which makes me very happy *dances*
On friday my uncle and cousin came over again and took us out for lunch. We went out for wontons. Mmmmm with the yumminess. Yea that was good, afterwards we went to go buy some sticky rice stuff, cuz moe likes to eat it. I wish we got the red bean filling one :( And that was about all...Oh and my cousin made me really worried about choosing the right courses for university.
Yesterday I got up at 9:30 or something because I thought we were supposed to get up early to go to this barbeque thingy. Well my dad had wanted to go early but moe wanted to sleep in so we went later. Anywho it was the MOST asian barbeque I've ever been to. I mean the first dish I saw was a roast pig! ROAST PIG!! Complete with cherry eyes and floofy things on the ears. No one has that at barbeques!! Coincedently everyone loved it and it disappeared rather quickly. Other dishes that you don't normally see included non-barbeque flavoured (I think) chicken wings, squid tentalces (those are so good *drool*, and herbal tea! Oi with the non-conformity... OH and not roast corn but boiled corn -_-;
After the food there was games. First up was tug of war. Oh dear, there was one over enthusiastic adult, and he kept screaming as he tried to tug the rope over to his side...only it wasn't a low 'manly' scream it was a high pitched girly scream. Needless to say it drew us alot of attention in the park...so much staring...*hides* Then there was the sack race...over-enthusiastic man joined in the children's race and bumped a few kids over, and in the adult race he tried cheating by not giong the whole way before turning around... Good for a few laughs I suppose...
So after that I went to do some shopping, and then dad met up with his friends and dragged me and moe along to timmy's. Their strawberry tarts are yummy. that took up a few hours. Moe was very fidgety..Oh and I got another issue of Anime Insider *huggles magazine* it has pretty pictures :P
At around 6:40 I got to milne park for the picnic thingy, but no one was there because it wasn't actually suppoed to start till 7 so I went for more shopping. Then came back at 7 and met up with Larissa, Gabby, Jen and Cece. Jodi came a bit later. I feel bad for not bringing anything with me *freeloader* It was a very enjoyable picnic without too many awkward silences, and the food was very good. Plus I didn't get eaten alive by bugs although they did spend alot of time flying around our table...
The park closed at 9 so we headed to Larissa's house, where we were going to watch a movie but ended not watching it. Melis came some times later and we ate cake and sat around talking while being attacked by the puppy of the house. He is freaking cute!! He reminded me of Brandon's dog ^_^ only cuter :P hehe. I ended up getting home at around 12 I guess, I forget. Oh and I felt really stupid for not knowing that Larissa's house was right around the corner from Joan's house -_- *is slow* Heh forgot the street names.
I'll update about today laters, bye bye.

7-08-04
I'm am bored like you wouldn't believe... it is my fault so no one to blame but me :P
Went out for lunch yesterday with my uncle and cousin. The food was really good, but also really pricey. Mmmmm I could really go for some more steamed buns... Ok anyway that was fun blah blah blah. I think That was about it.
I've been playing an unhealthy amount of mm lately. Well I suppose you can't really call it playing since I spent most of my time idling on it...but still. Ok....I think the sun just came out because everything is really bright...That or my eyes are broken, I'm not quite sure which. Anyway, I've been getting headaches alot lately and it's bothering me. On the plus side I have been sleeping a bit better, so go me :P
Mi's birthday is coming up soon, and I'm thinking I be needing to get something for her...problem is I'm not quite sure what...Mebbe Vivi needs to ask her sometimes...
Oh did I mention I've been very restless today. Vivi can't seem to concentrate on one thing for longer than 5 minutes...very bad *shakes head sadly* Vivi took like 5 breaks while writting this O_O

7-03-04
Hello again. It's the weekend! Ergo I had stuff to do. Mostly fun stuff I suppose. Went our for lunch on friday with my cousin and uncle. My dad came with us too because he got the day off. Afterwards we went to that new supermarket thingy on Steels. It's huge, and kinda pricey, but I got rice balls! :D *drool* So good... Then we went home I think, Vivi has bad memory...
Woke up at 7:30 this morning because I'm weird like that. Had the weirdest dreams, including one with Andrew in it. I haven't thought of him in quite awhile...I wonder how he is... Anyway we went out for lunch with family again. Same place as always. Fun times had by all.
Today is free comic day, so moe had dad drive her places to get free comics. Silly moe and her somewhat geeky ways :P This of course coming from the girl who leaves the house less than she does...Almost got some mangas, but I changed my mind. Speaking of mangas I went to Kikiwai on the 30th and I forgot. Got CD's that time.
Apparently next monday I have driving at 11:30 or something like that in the morning. Being the forgetful person I am, I will most likely forget and run around in a panic when they come to drag me to the car. Admittedly I do need the practice, and it would probably be a good idea to get a full license before school starts...Oh well...

7-01-04
Happy Canada day! Yay for fireworks and other sparkly things. Hope I don't get kept up by them tonight...
Anywho Vivi hasn't been sleeping very well lately. It didn't help that I went to bed yesterday at 2. But that's just because I was silly :P and trying to keep Wolvie company. But I still ended up waking up around 8 because my stupid internal clock has something against me sleeping for longer than 7 hours >_< Well I didn't actually drag myself out of bed till like 10, but i wasn't exactly sleeping either...
I think I've figured out why I can't sleep. See normally I'd have just ended school a little while ago, so I'd normally be sleeping in to my hearts content. But I ended school incredibly early this year, so I slept in alot earlier in the year. I think my internal clock things it's time for school and keeps on waking my up early... *kicks internal clock* Work properly dammit...
Oh and yesterday was my aunty's birthday so happy birthday to her *huggles aunty* My uncle baked a cake for us instead of getting one of those store bought dealies. It reminded me of the cakes me and my sister used to bake :P but in a good way.
Ok eyes starting to hurt, time to lie down. Not as spry (sp?) as I used to be you know *hobbles over to bed* Oh and you would not believe how many spelling mistakes I made and will probably miss while re-reading this...Oi...

6-28-04
Voting day! Did YOU vote?? Ok, so I didn't know who to vote for, but since my dad dragged me with him I just voted for the same thing he did, which turned out to be the liberals. Erm they are the better alternative right? Well one vote won't make much of a difference anyway.
It's been awhile since I've updated eh? (hehe, is canadian) It's mostly because I've been bored out of my skull. Not much to do these days but sleep, eat and draw. When I'm not online that is. But there isn't much to do online either, what with everyone being busy and away...
I have almost completed the pencil portion of most of the comic thingies Wolvie asked me to draw. Most of them are cute chibi things, but there is one so far that isn't. I've started shading it in, because black and white is SO much classier. Anywho, it's driving me insane and staining my hands a nice shade of grey. Deadline is coming up, and Vivi has once again been procrastinating -_- *scolds herself*
As for last weeks news it's that same thing as always, filled with nothing, and then lunches with family over the weekend. Oh and I have learned never to use the phrase 'you are the centre of my universe' ever again thanks to moe, and her difficult ways *rolls eyes at moe* But she did make very compelling points... Anywho, back to idling on mm...BYE!!!

6-20-04
Today was filled with the fun. Well partially anyway, Vivi didn't like the waking up early bit. Anywho today is my cousin Richard's birthday and we ended up going out for lunch with him and most of my dad's sie of the family. It was sort of like a father's day lunch/birthday gathering whatsit. Anywho my grandma from my mom's side ended up coming along with us. I hope she didn't feel horribly out of place...
My dad's side of the family is alot different from my mom's side, for one thing they talk alot more, and as they put it so nicely, they're crazier. Plus they eat more. Normally when we go out for dim sum with my other aunts and uncles we only get a little over 10 dishes, but we got almost 30 today. Apparently they can get up to 40 O_O Anywho it was a yummy lunch.
Afterwards we went to my grandpa's house where my other grandma got sucked into some sort of conversation inside. Most of us stayed outside to look at motor bikes. That was fun. I found out my cousin doesn't know how to ride a bike either ^_^ *is less ashamed* but he is younger than me still....-_- I will learn one day...maybe...

6-18-04
Vivi had lots fun today. I went driving with my uncle this afternoon. He didn’t scream or anything so I think I did okay. We weren’t out that long, or at least it didn’t seem like long. Then we went to pick up my cousin so we could go out for lunch (I didn’t drive for this bit :P) We had noodles for lunch. I haven’t had wontons in forever, and it was good ^_^ We also bought some sticky rice things for the festival on Tuesday.
I found out when I got home that Mi had called, and I ended up going to the mall with her and Cece like 15 minutes after I came home. We went to Kikiwai first, so I ended up spending more money -_- *has no self-control* Anyhow we went to the mall and spent a bunch of time going through clothing stores and stuff. I didn’t find anything particularly interesting, but I should probably get some more clothes before school starts…
We ended up going to get ice cream after a bit and then going to look at plushies. God they were cute, but alas I have not the space in my room to store them. Somehow we ended up in the food court after that. I shared an order of tacos with Mi. I’ve never had them before, and they were pretty good. Mi said I was a messy eater, but most of that mess was already there when we sat down I swear… That’s about all for today I guess, funness.

6-13-04
Vivi's weekend in 20 seconds or less. Friday: lunch with family. Saturday: dim sum again, job hunting to no avail, pizza for dinner. Sunday: made pancakes for breakfast, went driving, went shopping. The end.
Well that was the condensed version of everything that wasn't what I do on a daily basis. Like I said we made daddy breakfast today. Mostly because moe has exams next week and we probably wouldn't be able to do it then. The pancakes we made looks nothing like what the ones one the box looked like *is ashamed* We actually got up at 8:30 to make them, which is pretty impressive considering we didn't actually get around to sleeping till around 2, that and I couldn't sleep well yesterday.
After that slightly late breakfast me and my dad went driving. It started off horribly because I forgot to shift to drive after I backed out of the driveway -_- oi I suck *moe laughs in the background* I drove us to market village, you know the place with all the terrible asian drivers (myself included :P) that was fun. We went grocery shopping. Then after that we went to the same bakery we always go to to get some lunch for moe to take to school tomorrow.After that I drove to kikiwai. I ended up getting another Haibane Renmei soundtrack ^_^ Then my dad told me to go on the highway which was kinda frightening... but I didn't bump into any cars so it was all good. We got some lunch then went back home to eat. I realized today that I REALLY suck at parking -_-; Vivi needs more practice...
There was something else I was going to say but I forget now so bye bye!

6-9-04 (technically)
It is very hot in the computer room right now, possibly because we have both computers on at the same time. But it was also a very warm day. Vivi might need to get her hair layered again -_- silly long hair and it's aesthetic appeal...
Ok I had a very odd dream umm....yesterday morning I guess. I think it was the result of watching Escaflowne, and reading Hellsing. Anywho, It's the first dream in awhile that I've actualy been able to remember for longer than 5 minutes ^_^ yay!
I guess it was the day before yesterday now, Jeff gave me a link to a site that is horribly addictive. Well at least for me it is, but that might have something to do with the fact that I have absolutely nothing to do at home all day long...Whatever :P So here's the link, go amuse yourselves ^_^ click here As for Vivi she needs to get some sleep, g'nite!!!
10:50
Well I'll be heading off to bed in...oh maybe 2 hours. This day has been very boring. Well maybe not that boring...
I actually woke up (not get up mind you) at 7 this morning. I haven't done that in awhile :P but then I realized how early it was and decided to go back to sleep. Ended up getting up at 9 anyway. Then in the afternoon my grandma got me to drive her to the supermarket to buy large amounts of fruit. That was a pain in the ass to carry to the car. That and she insisted on giving the lady exact change, which meant rifling around in her change purse for some time. The other people in line did not seem pleased...
Oh my dad suggested I clear out the computer room to turn into my room. Mostly because I've been sharing a room with my sister since forever. Yes that does sound pitiful doesn't it. But I honestly don't know what I'd do with all the extra room if I did get my own room...*pictures herself standing in the middle of a very empty room* I get the feeling moe can't wait for me to move though, and I don't mean out of the room... *sniff*
As for in game news, I did the same thing I always to. A little questing, some lvling with Wolvie...oh and adovix popped into my house for no apparent reason, and then popped right back out. The hell is up with that? Wolvie thought it was funny though, I just thought it was weird :P and kinda scary. So that's about all for my boring boring day, I'm so boring -_- *dies of boredom overload*

6-6-04
I've been having alot of very strange dreams lately. Well stranger than the ones I usually have, and I haven't been sleeping well so Vivi is kinda cranky. I've taken up drawing again. There are a few things I want to experiment with. Maybe I'll post some stuff up if I feel like it. There hasn't been much happening lately, but boredom is usually good when I need to come up with ideas. For some really odd reason "stupid" has been replaying in my head alot recently. Not that it's a bad song or anything, but it kinda get's annoying after a bit. So here are the lyrics because I'm bored.
'Stupid' by Sarah McLaughlin
Night lift up the shades
Let in the brilliant light of morning
But steady me now
For I am weak
And starving for mercy
Sleep has left me alone
to carry the weight of unraveling where we went wrong
It's all I can do to hang on,
to keep me from falling into old familiar shoes

(chorus)
How stupid could I be
a simpleton could see
that you're no good for me
but you're the only one I see

Love has made me a fool
Set me on fire and watched as I floundered
Unable to speak
except to cry out and wait for your answer
But you come around in your time
speaking of fabulous places
create an oasis
that dries up as soon as you're gone
you leave me here burning in this desert without you

(chorus)

Everything changes everything falls apart
I can't stand to feel myself losing control
But deep in my senses I know

6-2-04
Archived again. I was going to change my layout, but I'm too damn lazy to. What with the switching of files and whatnot. Vivi can't be bothered to figure out all this html stuffs.
Alright, onto my boring boring life. Yesterday was my daddy's birthday *hugs dad* We went out for dinner. Yes it was chinese food, what else would it be? :P Anyway fun stuff. I don't think anything else of horrible importance happened so whatever.
Today I went driving for all of ten minutes. At least I'm getting practice right? No pedestrians or drivers were hurt in the exercise :P Anyway, I am extremly bored at the moment and very confused. My dad brought me some letters today. Apparently I've been accepted to UT. Which is good I suppose, but I had already made up my mind to go to York before that. So now I have to consider all that education crap again as I try to make a choice. The thing is Vivi doesn't like making choices... I'm like the most indescisive person ever. Chances are though that I'll end up going to UT downtown. You know keep up the family tradition or something. My grandma is overjoyed with the news, I've gotten into the one school she's always wanted me to go to.
Lately Vivi has had the strange urge to stab something. Just thought I'd bring that up for no apparent reason. Maybe I've been reading 8-bit theater too much... black mage is so cute ^_^ Ok enough of this, I'm gonna go doodle or stab something or something.
