Well, me n' Hart kicked ass in the Debate Tourney, if by kicking ass I mean doing moderately okay (and sorta bad in the first one.) Well, Hartley was good, but I was def. a weak link.

I love Manny! He's fun and such.

I'm having tons of fun-o with Blender. Next year is gonna rock out.

Kodi & Mark made this sweet obstacle course today, and I had a HELLUVA time looking at it.

Got my grad dress. SWEETUP

BRANDON IS SOON.

The other Brandon is less soon, but still VERY SOON.

New boots are serving me well, I guess, but I haven't ridden in them yet.

I have a crush on a boy. :) A NEW BOY. But it's a secret.

People who like celebrities creep me out, but I would still jump Mark Wahlberg's bones.

We're watching a movie in Bio & we have a genetics test coming up and I'm not really sure what genetics are, but DNA is deoxyribose nucleic acid and Jude Law's in the movie. Mrs Payment thinks it was his first movie. If so, he doesn't AGE.

Mrs Payment's coming to Brandon, and I am gonna SUCK at my solo in Pegasus. God, Sr. Jazz was funny today. Moderately funny.

I really really like PreCal, except for the PreCal part. French is boring. For lunch I had a creme egg.

GOOOOOOOOODBYE

The Tour.

I love Frantic Films. Everyone there was super-cool, and by super-cool that's what I mean. I can't say much more, 'cuz I signed some kind of horrible legal thing. But it's AMAZING. One day I'm gonna work there, and maybe my animations will be more sophisticated than my current sphere sitting on a cube. But seriously, man, it's pretty cool. And there's, like, an INDIRECT light source.

So exams are over, and I'm leasing MANNY!!!! So if I never come back to school it's cause I fell off and died, failed Chemistry, or took to the road in search of a career in the sphere-making field.

Well, it is the next day but I wanted to add this here anyway, because, y'see, it slightly corresponds. Last night I had this wicked dream!! & I'm gonna share it with y'allz.
So I was in bed and the school bell went off, only it was the fire alarm, so I ran outside into the snow because you're never supposed to rescue anything, just get out as fast as you can. But then I remembered about Flood.Surf, which is this program Frantic Films is designing, but apparently I had a copy of it because I was freaking out and I didn't want it to be burnt. And since I couldn't see any flames I ran back in to save it. But it wasn't a fire alarm after all, it was a SPIDER alarm, and there were thousands of spiders and tons of cobwebs everywhere, like Shelob's tunnel in the Lord of the Rings or like in Arachnaphobia. And I was pawing through the cobwebs and I got this spider in my hair, a giant spider, and it stuck there like a woodtick and I didn't want to touch it because it was hairy, etc. So I ran back outside and I was like, "Mom, Mom, get this spider out of my hair!!" and she pulled it out and it pulled out a lot of my hair and it really hurt.
And then that was over, and I was at a funeral; it was either Dumbledore's funeral (there was a white casket) or Rachel's funeral from The Animorphs. One of the two. And I was with Robyn, Cassie from the Animorphs, Frodo, and this guy from Frantic Films and we were sitting on plastic chairs. And the priest was like, "We really need a bird," and this hawk flew down, and I knew it was Tobias in hawk morph. And he landed on Cassie's shoulder and started whispering something to her, but I couldn't hear him. And then he finally got to me, but he'd turned into a cell phone, and I was like, "Tobias!" and he was like, "Listen, Megg, I'm not coming on the last part of the journey." And the last part of the journey was where we fought those bugs from King Kong. And I knew he was backing out cause he was scared. "You just know we're going to die!" I said, but he clammed up so I hung up on him.
And theeeeen we were on this beach. And it was full of rocks. We had an off day between the funeral and setting out to the gorge to fight the big bugs, so I went to the mall with Skye and Davis. And then things changed, so that we weren't waiting to go fight the bugs, but we were just waiting to watch King Kong at the movie theatre and we killed time by shopping. And I was in this weird store trying on belts, and they were $9, which seemed reasonable, but I couldn't figure out the buckles on them. And Davis was being REALLY annoying, like he kept whining and whatnot.
And then I woke up. :)

Hoom hoom

2007-01-08T01:20:41Z

Here is a rough copy of my thing I am making. I don't mind it. I may keep it as the good copy, but I'd like to give it a go on Fireworks later, with more supervillians. Mwahaha.

Reflection

2007-01-01T22:45:40Z

Hmm, well, 2006 was a good year all in all, I should say. Christmas break last year was pretty spectac, of course this year couldn't compare. I had some big disappointments, to be certain, but don't we all? And no notable humiliations or moments of terror. I don't think I hit the dust off Zulu once. Some key things to cherish:

- New Years 2006

- Evergreen Hunter Reserve Champion

- International Music Camp

- My new trumpet

- With the U of M band thingy

- Grad

- Polo tournaments. Kicking butt in one.

- Chillin wit my homies

- Getting over someone

- Learning Elvish

- Enjoying life

- Internet discoveries; Youtube included.

- Physics

- Applying for University

- Satisfying choices

- Summer. Sweet, sweet summer

- Realizing things don't actually... change.

- Eastgate

- Show season. Hot and cold alike

- LotR Marathon. That was one to remember

- New Years 2007, just fo' the record.

Hopes for this year include:

- New Zealand ?

- Four foot

- Jumpers?

- Graduation

- Boyz (As it has been since sixth grade)

- Reconciliation

- Denouncement

- Discussion

- University (Must look at some overseas information)

- Chicago

- Royal Manitoba

- Last IMC ever??

I L Y all.

Muha.

2006-12-29T23:33:51Z

Uh... mmm... excuse me for not being able to think, but i think I got an hour's sleep last night.

HOWEVER... I did it!
Fourteen straight hours of The Lord of the Rings!
Thanks for being there for me, guys.
w00t.

CHRISTMAS

2006-12-24T05:41:52Z

Merry Christmas, you guys! And remember, I love you all!!

Well, most of you...

actually, the mass majority I DON'T like. But whatevs! Have a good holiday anywho.

Merry Christmas to all...

and to all,
a
GOOD NIGHT

Mmm

2006-12-18T03:26:35Z

I wrote a letter to the director of the Lord of the Rings, cuz I'm sure he enjoys them immensely. Plus, I have decided to make a new movie come mid-summer. It's justa short clip of a scene from Lord of the Rings of which I am particulary fond, but I'll do it from the book rather than the movie. I am a bit low on the special-effects gear, so basically I need:
a Frodo, preferably a pale, short, yet alluring young man (I'm not making him fifty, because that's stupid. As if anyone actually imagined Frodo Baggins as being fifty years old. Pur-lease.)
Nine riders
A gray horse
Nine black/dark bay horses.
And like, a river; or a pond; or a puddle. And Bird's Hill Park!

2006-12-11T05:04:57Z

I LOVE ROCK AND ROCK-- dammit!

Well, put another dime in the jukebox anyway, babby.

I really hope everyone else finds our lit movie funny, cuz if they don't it'll be an awkward silence broken only by mine and Chris' manic laughter!!!

I have an advent calendar that I only got today, so I have nearly eleven days to catch up on!!! w000tbegone!

I'm not sad anymore! That's because I have a short attention span. :]

Sigh

2006-12-09T05:39:40Z

Someone told me no one likes these sort of entries, and I agree with someone. But y'know, sometimes you have to do it anyway.

I came to a realization tonight that was wonderful and sad and private.

Two, actually.

And I don't know whether to be sad or happy. Hey, guess what? Clichés are actually real. I'm not kidding, or funny.

Sometimes I hate being as old as I am. I want to be 12 again. No, 10; I want to start completely and absolutely fresh.

Not everything is always that great, y'know?

Um.

The jazz concert was pretty good, I guess. Actually, we played pretty well. That reminds me.

Oh, for Pete's sake.

Hey, I think I might be athiest.

Who knows?

Happy holidays, guyzzz.

He's pretty hot.

Mmhm.

2006-11-29T02:52:27Z

I am wearing some Corona pyjamas I found in our linen closet, and they are making my legs uncomfortably hot. Maybe they're possessed. I dunno. Comfy though.

Well, here comes the snow. I want a snow day tomorrow, but since I do, t'won't happen.

I'm not happy.

Nargles.

The hills are alive with the sound of Christmas...

Saturday Nite

2006-11-19T04:49:16Z

I rented Harry Potter 4, ate tons of salt and vinegar chips, and then I watched every single Harry Potter clip I could find on Youtube until my parents stumbled home drunk.

Pleasure

2006-11-12T01:25:12Z

I finally picked out my new trumpet!

His name's Xavier, and unfortunately he's SILVER. But I won't be discriminatory. A Professional Yamaha Xeno Series. And two free mouthpieces in the deal. Schveet.

I screwed up Reveille today in my third and final Remembrance Day performance.

Oh well.

Pics!

2006-11-09T00:43:08Z

I'm soooo jetlagged, but I thought I'd post a few quick pics of the round-the-world trip I took last night. More to come once I get them developed. Sorry the quality is so bad!! Kermit is a horrible photographer.... >.<

Me, Daniel and George at the World Series of Nascar. It was brutally hot! Ouch!

Daniel, me, and Jonker at the Empire State. Yeah, I know, you can't even SEE the view. It was packed...

Me, Danny, and Billie Joe acting stupid in Fenton, UK.

Daniel in front of our jungle buggy with our guide, Mr. Jones.

Kermit and Daniel and me at a formal dinner in Versailles. Yeah, I'm there-- behind the potted plant.

Everyone tired and cranky in our cramped hotelroom in Luxembourg.

Wow, so many memories. And I wasn't even late for Wind Ensemble. More to come!!!

Mucho Gracias

2006-10-31T23:12:27Z

Here's something that I've been wanting to do for a while. It will be a list of every single person I know or have ever known. It will take many days to do. The rules are:

I need to have spoken to the person at least once;

I need to remember their first and last name;

I must be able to categorize them into one of the following:
- School, Camp, Work, and Shows;

- Family and Polo

- Miscellaneous.

2006-10-27T01:57:30Z

I haven't ridden since Sunday. I'm out of shape and so is my horse. I had a Chemistry test today that I did badly on. I have Physics test tomorrow that I will do badly on. I handed in a project in Physics, and I think I did badly on it. I'm still failing Computer Science. I can't remember any of the course I'm supposed to be tutoring. I haven't applied or even looked at any of my university stuff. I am playing The Last Post at Rememberance Day and I haven't practiced it once. I am supposed to be going to Brandon this year and I haven't jumped over three feet since August. I am not playing well in Senior Jazz. I am not doing as well as I want in Literature. I'm tired of waking up for Wind Ensemble. I want to film, but I don't have time. I suck at driving in the city. My room is a mess.

...AND I'M A BIG, FAT, WHINING EMO.

In other news, I'm wasting my time on something I'll never manage to do.... oh wait, that belonged in the first bunch of news.

In other news, I have enough mandarin oranges to last me to the Triassic Period and back again. I mean... you know what I mean.

My Day!

2006-10-17T04:05:51Z

I've decided to write a detailed, concise, and extremely interesting summary of my day. And by summary, I mean tedious, overblown dramatization. Thuper!

I woke up at 8:33 by my clock, which means in real time it was 7:12. Intereeesting. Then I did classic morning stuffs. Example: brushed hair, burnt finger on straightening iron, selected banana from bunch. Then I boarded the bus-- oh, yeah-- I was wearing a hhhwhite sweater avec un pair du jeans.

And the bus was fun.

And then I opened my locker and said a quick, businesslike hello to my neighbor, one Mark van Dorp; and then he said I didn't make it into Honor Band!!! Mucho surprises. I was certain I was guaranteed first chair-ola. So I broke down into tears. Good old Mark. He always cheers me up.

Then we had COMPHRENSIVE...COMPHRENSIVE...COMPREEEHEEENNNNSSIIIVE Enligh. I mean, English. And it was ammmazing. I could discuss Frankenstein FOREVER. Oh wait, I have.

And then I had, like, Physics, and I sat in this small room and wrote the test I missed. And I think I got number four incorrect (as they say in Britain.) And there was graffiti on the wall, and I added my own special tidbit to it. Check 'er out.

Then I had Sr Jazz, and that was uneventful. And by uneventful, I mean le suck. But then Alex dropped his trumpet and everything was funny again! Lunch was, um, oh, shitcakes, this is boring. I'll cut right to the chase: English Literature. Wowzee. All I can remember are comics. Featuring Ben, Lucas' friend, and a hungry Pacman. And numerous horrified onlookers.

And then, in Chemistry, we got the chance to work with real, 100%, undiluted, concentrated HYDROCHLORIC ACID. And some weird purple stuff that apparently could make us feel "unwell." So I only had a few bites. And then we were called down for a poverty fairy tale thing. And then the bell rang and it was classic hometime all over again, and raining outside.

AndthenIwenthomeandatecrackersandwenttopineridgeandhadastupidlessonwiththisotherpersonandweonlyjumpedthreefoot.andthenicamehomeandatespaghettiandthenididcomputerscienceandthenishoweredandtheniwatchedTHEBACHELOR.hahahahaha.andthenIcheckedandmadesureMarkwasright;andhewas,I'mnotinHonorBand.thenireadparadiselostandthenireadmywarriorcatbookandnowi'mdoingthis.

Krispy Kreme

2006-10-09T02:50:14Z

OK, so, like, you're gonna think I'm crazy, but does the Krispy Kreme logo NOT look like the logo for a car?

The 2007 Krispy Kreme 5 Series, a six cylinder sedan with automatic trasmission, state-of-the-art safety features, and deluxe leather interior, recently voted Canada's number one family vehicle...

Whew.

Anyway. I rode today and it was thuper-duper windy. I pretty much got blown off my horse, tossed through a barren field, catapulted across 207, tossed into a greenhouse, and jammed into a pot of genetically modified, carnivorous Venus flytraps. In fact, that's exactly what happened. True story.

I had a weird Friday, but I've already recovered. I think my resilicency--resilcency--resilency-- toughness is improving.

Wowzee, school's been heavy on the hullabaloo lately. I have sooo much homework. I think. Actually, I can't remember, and I didn't write it in my agenda, but all's fair in love and war.

See y'allz later.

Oh man oh man oh man ohman. Summer is really over in every aspect. Canelo's gone home and the leaves are leafing in that peculiar manner of theirs. I'm suffering through Chemistry as well as my hard-won Literature class. Actually, I'm learning to like it. It's a gradual process.

Free Issue with Subscription.

Suddenly I see

2006-09-05T23:06:47Z

Well my heart knows me better than I know myself
So I'm gonna let it do all the talking.
I came across a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree.

I fell in fear, upon my back
He said "Don't look back, just keep on walking."
When the big black horse said, "Hey lady!"
Said, "Look this way, will you marry me?"

But I said no, no, no, no-no-no
I said no, no, you're not the one for me
No, no, no, no-no-no
I said no, no, you're not the one for me

And my heart had a problem, in the early hours,
So I stopped it dead for a beat or two.
But I cut some cord, and I shouldn't have done that,
And it won't forgive me after all these years

So I sent it to a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree.
Now it won't come back, cause it's oh so happy
And now I've got a hole for the world to see

But I said no, no, no, no-no-no
I said no, no, you're not the one for me
No, no, no, no-no-no
Said no, no, you're not the one for me

Said no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
You're not the one for me
No, no, no, no, no, no
You're not the one for me

It's been a long and beautiful summer, full of polo and shows and happy gatherings. And now it's over, because in a day I'll go back to SCI and start my last year of high school.

Goodbye, summer.

Tournament Done...

2006-08-21T03:43:45Z

...and we effin' won!

I can't believe it. I'm so psyched. :) We lost a game yesterday and tied a game, and today we won both of our games. I got some cool hooks and a few good nearsides as well as two assists. I also fouled the other team and missed a penalty shot, but that's neither here nor there.

Anyway, very happy, very content, very... er... pleased, and very, very tired. Night all.

International Music Camp, a Tournament, and School

2006-08-20T00:19:09Z

International Music Camp was amazing. I posted a plethora of stuff about it on my MSN Space, so check 'er out, dudettes.

The Polo Tournament is going cruddy so far. Well, not really-- it's actually pretty fun, but I'm playing like a big piece of crap. And we're losing. But I expect by tomorrow I will have become SUPER-PLAYER (and I don't mean it in the way you think I do.)

And school's starting in three weeks. What do I have to say to that?

w00t.

begone...

Our Colt

2006-07-12T23:22:50Z

We lost our foal.

Ocala had her baby on Tuesday morning-- a colt-- and he died early this morning. He was the cutest thing ever. Black with a white blaze and a white sock. Healthy, too. Walking, eating, whinnying. But I guess not healthy enough.

Fins and Finales

2006-05-31T04:04:34Z

Well, jazz band is over. I can't say I'll miss it, though I did have some good times with Kayleigh and Mary Ellen, and of course Brandon was a hoot. Plus I enjoyed skipping with Amber, Hannah, Sarah and Anthony right under Ms. Hay's naive nose. But let's face it: the band was a fascimile of a sham.

I can't wait for the final concert. I know I will cry. Well, I probably won't physically cry, but inside it'll be all anguish. Hahaha. I got a new shirt. It's REPULSIVELY LOW CUT. I'll be the dirty whore of the Walker Theatre.

I played so badly in Wind Ensemble today. I couldn't even hit the valves, never mind the notes.

And I have to get "bloodwork" done tomorrow.

And yet I'm happy.

IT MUST BE THE DRUGS!
