Unravelling the Twisted...
This is MY page!
Dispite the fact that I do have a segment on my homepage about me,
I decided to give everyone a more indepth look at the one they know as "Lara".
My name is Lara Elizabeth Kirby. I live in Acton.
It's a small little town that everyone complains about, but I grew up there.
I go to Acton High, naturally, I am too lazy to commute to a different school,
nor do I really want to. I am your usual band geek person,
with the exception of my piercings, tattoos, the fact that I wear all black and spikes.
Everyone thinks I am some satanic goth person, once you get to know me,
you realize that I am not. If you fear me before you get to know me, it's a pitty for you.
I am not saying that everyone likes me, I am just saying that anyone who is that
intimidated by looks leads a sad life and will never really get to know people for
who they really are on the inside. I have a love for music and a love for body modification.
I do want to get married one day, but if I will, that is a completely different question all together.
I also would like to have one (1) or two (2) children one day.
I love the names Atticus, Phèdre (inspired by Kushiel's Dart), Fabian (for a girl),
Julian and a few others that I have to look up when I get home. My favorate animal is the cat.
My favorate socks are any of my knee high Emily Socks. My favorate colour is royal purple.
I don't drink pop, mostly water, and I don't eat deep fried or seriously fatning food.
My biggest fears consist of Seaweed, Trains and passing trucks on the highway.
I don't do very well at school, although this year I have to bring up my average.
I am obsessive compulsive about several things, I cant really control how I act with them.
When I go away from home the things I miss the most are my friends.
I have high hopes for the future, but I dont think I will be able to reach them.
I have low self confedence, and I hate it when people call me an idiot.
I have been told that most of my life, I cant take it anymore from anyone!
I usually go online to purely talk to people on msn. I don't get bored easy, which is a surprise.
I used to like my job at McDonald's. Now I am tired of it and need some sort of change.
I dont react well to change. Unless it is a good change, then I am fine.
The thing I worry about most is my friends forgetting about me when they go off to college and whatever else.
Mr. Wilcox is my all time favorate teacher although I am certain he is quite sick of me... :P
The best memories of high school happened in the music room, the spot or on band trips.
I don't like to be touched, it makes me panic and move further away from you than what I was to begin with.
I don't want to date until University or College. But, we will see what happens.
I always think of my friends before myself, no questions asked.
I listen to all kinds of music excluding pop, rap, and country.
I one day would like to be in an Orchestra even though I will major with the saxophone.
I dont understand how people can hate the saxophone, it is a woodwind like any other woodwind.
I like cheese a lot. I also like sleep overs that incorperate cheese into them.
I am proud of Kaktis and I's arrangement of the Nightmare Before Christmas.
I would rather shop for other people than myself, although sometimes that can be a major challenge.
I cant wait until I go to university or college. I dont meet new people well.
I am actually a very shy person. I dont deal with grief well, I usually bottle everything
inside of me up until it all overflows and I have a mental breakdown or get sick.
This summer has been one of the greatest as well as one of the worst summers ever.
I am going to miss my friends when I go back to Acton High without them.
I am happy for Kaz because of his promotion. I'm depressed that I missed the Wonderland trip.
I hate seeing people die, especially if I was close to them. I dont deal with people
around me being upset. I do believe in spirits. I wish everyone could die without pain.
My heart has been broken too many times to count. I am one of the most paranoid people you will probably ever meet.
I miss my kitties that ran away. I wish people werent heartless and evil towards animals.
I like being a sagittarious best! I love snowboarding. I used to backcatch in baseball.
I take walks when I get depressed thinking about the future and everything.
Thinking about the future makes me depressed. I will be 18 on December 16th.
If I fail in music, I want to become a piercer.
I want to go back to Acton High, but I really dont at the same time.
I will cry on the first day of school when I am forced to be by myself in the music room over lunch.
I want to dress up for commencement because that is my class walking across the stage and I should be there too.
I am going to cry a lot during commencement. I hate to cry infront of people.
The two things you will find on my more often than my spikes are my lucky penny and my lip chap.
Everyone wants to know the mystery of my lucky penny. So, I will tell you.
After Wilcox talked to me about how I was going to kill myself with five classes
(It was a difficult discussion for me because it was the difference between graduating and not)
We walked down the hall, (I had to go to a formal comittee meeting)
and he found two pennies and said, "there now we can both have a lucky day."
And I have kept mine ever since. That's the mystery, now you know.
I take my closest friends advice straight to the heart.
My grade 12 year was the best year of my life!
I think that is basically everything that can be said right now.
It is almost 5am and I cant sleep, so I figured I would work on my site:P
I love to drive and listen to music while I am doing so, it tends to calm me down.
There are only three or four people in the world that have heard me sing and actually mean it.
My favorate car is a purple PT Cruiser... I love those cars! Newfangled hurses.
This school year is going to be the worst one ever which is a shame because
it will be my last in Acton High. Applications are due in soon which makes me very stressed.
Auditions are next spring... that also makes me very stressed, even more so than the applications.
The school feels a lot emptier without my closest friends. Jim is an ass because he gets cool courses in his school.
When I get stressed I get sick. I dont want to go to Acton anymore, I would much rather be anywhere else.
I am the only one out of my friends who didnt graduate (other than Jenn).
It seems that everytime I try to call Kaktis her phone line is always buisy... :P
I say a lot of things I dont mean to say... what I mean by that is, everything I say comes out very wrong.
I cant wait for band to begin! (as well as Jazz Band!) I have decided I cant play my sax anymore,
anyone who heard me play today in class knows I cant play anymore! How depressing...
I would prefer to write snail-mail letters rather than electronic ones.
I love Sibelius! It is my favorate program ever! (Until I find a new favorate)
I seriously hope that Kaktis and I move into an apartment together! That would be the greatest thing ever!
I dont care what you say, Ampersand is the best word and squiggly thing ever!
Jesus Christ is a Superstar© and I really think him and Joseph could harmonize well... :P
I am not religious, at all... Religions remind me of cults a lot of the time.
The above comment was not meant to offend anyone, that's just what they remind me of! :P
People often listen to me when I am wrong but dont when I am right... Isn't that right Kaktis and Cassie?
I love Emily Strange clothing and stuff. I also love shopping a great deal.
I havent bought myself something nice in a long time. I have to save a lot of money this year,
so dont really expect much in the Christmas/Birthday present department.
Lol, I am not particularely good at saving money. I am an impulse shopper... which is bad.
I need to achieve my grade 6 piano by the end of next year. :S I like the piano, but I am no good.
"Friends are like a box of chocolates, if you eat them all, their gone!"
When people are upset, I do try hard to make them feel better. More often than not, it doesnt work.
I hate the question mark key being right beside the > key, I always press it when I mean to press > !
Kaktis' phone line is still buisy...
My watch is dying so I think I might just go buy a new one! :D
The fall fair is very close! I can almost smell the stench of it! I like stickers.
I also like candy apples, but I hate the way they make your teeth stick together when you bite into them!
People anger me... A lot! I think my hoards of bruises are coming from stress.
Hardly anyone has ever seen me cry, and if they have... They should not consiter themselves lucky.
I hate crying infront of people more than anything in the world. Stupid emotions.
There has been only one time that I recall actually wanting a hug, and that was last sunday
when I had my big crying fit at work. But, I got to go home, which was constitlation enough.
Kaz is probably going stop calling me once he starts school. Being a manager, going to school,
and juggling your friends outside of school will be a difficult thing to do Kazzy wazzy.
o/`We'll be miles apart, I'll keep you deep inside you're always in my heart.
A new life to start, I'll keep you deep inside you're always in my heart! o/` -that's a good song.
I really like the band Yellowcard. They are quite good... :P
*Sigh* I am so happy Kaktis came back to Acton High this semester, I dont know what I would do without her there.
Commencement went better than I had anticipated. I was expecting me to be a lot more emotional than what I was.
And for those of you who thought you saw me cry, YOU DIDN'T!
I love my co-op placement! I honestly would rather stay there all day than come back to my school.
I can not WAIT until University next year!!! I dont care where it is I go, just as long as I go...
I am going to be really depressed when this semester ends, not only is Kaktis leaving,
But music will be ending as well as my co-op! Luckily though, Mrs. Lebert said I could go back and help her out during semester 2!
She is a really cool teacher too, why is it that all the music teacher I know are so cool?
Lol, maybe that's why I want to be one... :D
I FINALLY got my promotion at work... I am now a Crew Trainer!
It makes me laugh because when Steve told the managers this at their meeting the first thing that went through
Kaz's mind was... Good, now she wont quit! Yup, you are right Kaz!
School is SOOO MUCH better now than it was before the last two times I wrote in this.
I never leave... and when I do, I go to work. Gross eh?
I love composing music! I now have 2 songs on the go, one is pretty much done, I just need a vocal line for it.
The other I just started on the weekend. Kaktis and I are going to make movements for it and make it into a collection.
My average at midterm was 86%... Do you think I can get into university with that? I DO!!!
I have to think of something to do for Kaktis' birthday... quickly... I have 8 days and counting.
I am really really tired. I havent been sleeping well at all lately. For like the last month.
My co-op has changed me for the better, I have grown up a lot in the past 2 months.
I now like children... Which is a HUGE thing, because I went into it not liking kids at all.
It's really rather scary... I actually want to get married and have a family one day... I MUST BE SICK!!
I really should be doing history right now... So, I think that's what I am going to do...
Until next time!
Man oh man, this semester has been AWESOME!! I am so happy, I don't think I have ever been this happy before.
I really hope that I get accepted to McMaster Univeristy in the spring... :S
I can not wait until university, now that my applications have been submitted i am bouncing off the walls.
I also think its really depressing as I will be leaving everyone I know back here.
I LOST MY LUCKY PENNY AT THE MCD'S CHRISTMAS PARTY!!! That made me so upset... but now the person who found it can have a lucky day.
Mr. Wilcox's bday balloon thingy was a success! I was sooo pleased with how it went.
It would not have been possible without the help of anyone that was involved!!
I love co-op so much. I am going to be really upset when this semester ends and I cant come in as much...
My bday party was wicked! as well as my holiday break! so fun!
Rena and I have begun to communicate again. It's nice to talk to someone I used to be such good friends with again.
Am I ever going to miss music when it ends this semester.. WAAA!! *cries everywhere*
I will also be really upset when Kaktis leaves the school second semester... what am I going to do without you there Kaktis?!
This year has started out famously, I hope it continues to be a good year for me! :D
Well, a lot has happened since I last wrote anything in here.
It is almost the end of semester two. I have done A LOT of different thing to keep me occupied.
I did have a boyfriend for a while from late February to the beginning of April. He was nice, but not nice enough to return my calls!
I actuall had my 70+ average in english for midterms... you have no idea how happy that made me.
I HATE geography with a passion. I do love woodshop though.
The spring concert was awesome! We did really well as a group. The only thing that went wrong was
my sax decided to give up right before my big jazz band solo. It made me panic.
everything was sorted out though, I ran in to get a different sax during the performance (held everything up)
and used the school's brand new sax on the band trip.
I loved the band trip. It was the best trip of my life. I really wish Kaktis could have been there.
teehee, things happened on that trip... lol...
We did a bunch of wicked things. There is so much music in New Orleans! I LOVE IT!
I would absolutely love to live there. It made me so happy. The best last band trip with Acton High ever!
I love jazz and I loved the buskers... They made me so happy! I love the saxophone!
Relay for Life was also very fun, what I went to it anyways.
My auditions went alright. Brock I got accepted to on the spot, Mac I got accepted to and Laurier I don't think I got accepted to at all.
I will probably end up going to Brock next year. I think that was the one I felt the happiest at.
I am really going to miss Jeanette and Mr. Wilcox next year, they were like my best friends in school for second semester.
