I had a picture that I wanted to include in this post for a photoblog, but my camera cord seems to have gone missing, so I can’t upload it to my computer :( I’ll find it at some point, and just add it in the next blog I guess 
I went to Niagra Falls on Friday, as I mentioned in my last blog. I ended up buying a new summery dress that’s really cute, and I also got my prom shoes 
They have MAYBE a one inch heel, if that. I wouldn’t be able to walk in really high heels They’re black, and pretty simple.. I like them 
I got them at a random show outlet too, so they were pretty cheap.
We didn’t end up getting to really see the falls. We drove by + took pictures from the window, but my mom couldn’t find any place to park for less than $20, and since we didn’t plan on being there long, it would be a waste of money. Plus, my sister was being annoying and wanted to go home so she could go out with her friends. Uh, no.. I wanted to see the falls :( But we didn’t end up getting out, even though 3 out of 4 people in the car wanted to..
When I got back Friday afternoon, I went to visit my friend Fatima at work. She works at the superstore and they were having a BBQ to promote their new summer products, so we got free ice cream, burgers, juice and stuff. Fatima was a clown for the event, so she gave me a balloon and I got a picture with her.. LOL. She told all of our friends to come and visit her, but I was the only one who actually did go.
Saturday was a pretty boring day. I was planning on sleeping in, but my mom woke me up at like 8:30 and asked if I wanted to go garage sale-ing because the hospital was having a huge one around the corner for a fundrasier. We did go around town for about an hour and a half ish, but all I found was The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks for $1, so I got that The rest of the day was pretty boring, but I did manage to finish reading The Notebook, and I marked down some pages that had good quotes to add to Quotetastic.
I’ve actually been updating Quotetastic a bit lately, and I’ve added tons of new quotes. I’m working on a new layout for it as well, so hopefully that can be finished soon. I’ve had the site for over two years, and I feel like I’ve been neglecting it too much :( I was almost thinking about selling it, but.. I don’t think I’d be able to bring myself to do that.
Yet again, I have no shifts next week. I’m literally going to run out of money soon, especially with prom coming up. I’m glad I already have my dress and shoes, or else I’d be screwed. I’m still going to have to spend around $80 for the ticket, and find a bag/clutch too. Ugh. Plus, if I do end up getting my nails done that’ll be another $25 (or more). I’m trying to just grow my nails out, but I’m not sure how well that’s going to work because they always end up chipping off, or I’ll bite them when I get bored.
I really wish there was SOMEWHERE around here that was hiring. I need a new jobbbbb.
Today, I was on facebook and I saw one of my friend’s statuses was thanking the army troops for everything they have done. I was looking around online and came across the link for car donations for Purple Heart Veterans, which is similar but aimed specifically towards Purple Heart Veterans, which are soldiers who were wounded or killed while serving their country. You can donate cars from any of the 50 states, or if you don’t have a car to donate, you can donate money as well for the families of the Purple Heart Soldiers. These soldiers gave so much for us, even their lives in some causes. They fought for their country and for the freedom of all of us, and I think they deserve way more than anything we can give them. They are all couragous, brave soldiers who deserve much more than vehicle donations, but it is still something, and everything helps. The families of the fallen soldiers not only need our help, but they most certainly deserve it too. I wish I lived in the US so that I could donate, but instead I will try to do my part by getting the word out about this amazing foundation. So please, donate any cars that you have, whether they work or not. It will be no cost to you, and will help you save on your taxes as well. There is a simple navigation, easy to find Frequently Asked Questions and more information on how to donate your car within the site.

New Layout!
Posted on: May 27, 2010 at 6:14 pm. 9 comments
As you can (hopefully) see, there is a new layout! I like it, though not as much as I liked the old one. I felt it was time for a change though. If you find any kinks or anything, just let me know Or if you have any comments/suggestions for it, just comment about it. The web icons are from Kintanti, which is a reminder that I need to put it on the credits page.
Nothing new has really gone on in my life since I last blogged. I went to see Iron Man 2 on Tuesday with David (half price movie night FTW! :D) and it was an alright movie. I had never seen the first one, but it was okay.. Not really the genre of movies I like, but it was still pretty good. I liked the effects and robots especially
It’s been way too hot out to do anything, especially with my sunburn still healing. Yesterday though, my best friend Taylor and I had a nice adventure after school, and it was 40C outside :| Which is hot. She was driving, but it was still mega hot out. We went to random places and also put in resumes at a few different places because we both work at the same place now, where we get no hours. We should get the schedule sent to us soon, so I’m hoping that I have a shift but I kinda doubt it. If I don’t get any shifts though, I’m gonna email them because there are people who get 2-3 shifts a week, and then people who have been there longer (like me) who get zero shifts for three weeks. It’s unfair and annoying. I should check how much I got paid today, because I know I won’t be getting paid next time as I haven’t worked at all on this time sheet :/
I also need to come up with an idea for my ComTech summative. It can basically be based on whatever we want, and be made however we choose. I could do a video, website, flash project, etc… basically whatever, as long as it’s to do with tech. If you have any ideas for topics to do, or for what program I should use.. just let me know
Tomorrow, I get to skip school again Haha, to go to Niagra Falls with my family It should be fun, we’re going shopping and just looking at the falls. It’s kind of for my sisters 21st birthday, which is today. Happy Birthday, Mallory!
I came across a cool site today. You can give car donations for Vietnam Veterans. I never knew that there was an organization like this, and I find it pretty cool. You donate cars to the foundation, and in return they sell it for as much as they can, and the money goes to the Vietnam War Veterans and their families. The donation can even be tax deductible, which is pretty cool. If I had a car I didn’t use, I’d donate it because they are going to get a lot more out of it. They even take cars that aren’t working, at no cost to you.. so it’s not like it’s a hassle at all for you, you’re actually freeing up space in your garage. So if you’d like to donate vehicles, check out Vietnam Veterans Car Donation. I think it’s a really great cause, because it helps the families of those who were injured or paralyzed in the war, or anyone who came out just as they went in and need support. The navigation on the site is pretty straightforward, so check it out and you can find out more about it. It’s really a great cause
Before I end this, I’m gonna post some pictures from the weekend…
& Also, sadly going to end this blog with another bad note. I just found out that one of my best friends closest friends, who I knew too and saw on Tuesday and said hey in the halls.. Her mom passed away on Tuesday :( She flew planes, and one of the planes was taken to get fixed but then broke down again, and as they tried to land it on a building, they went through instead. RIP :(

Long Weekend
Posted on: May 24, 2010 at 8:35 pm. 4 comments
It was a long weekend both because I got Friday off school (for prom dress shopping) and today (Monday) off school for Victoria Day, and because I’ve barely been home all weekend. This is a really long post, so props to anyone who actually reads it all (I doubt it).
I’ll start with Thursday night, after I blogged. Grey’s Anatomy season finale. It. Was. Epic. It was so freaking intense, and insane and scary and amazing. I had about 34098390438 heart attacks while watching it because you never knew what was gonna happen next. It was soooooo good, but so scary. I’m not saying what happened incase anyone hasn’t seen it and wants to.. BUT GO WATCH IT. EVERYONE. IT WAS SO GOOD AND SO SAD AND SO EPIC.
Friday, as I posted about in the last blog.. I skipped school to go prom dress shopping with my parents, because there was a field trip in my photography class that I wasn’t going on. Thankfully, I found my dress! It’s super cute and I love it, and now I’m a little excited for prom. So here are some pictures:
Friday night, I went to David’s house again for a bonfire/movie night with Brandon & Annie. I was supposed to go shopping with my friends too, but I decided to go to the bonfire instead.. I wish I went shopping.
Basically, David and I almost broke up Friday night. Because I had a headache so I was sitting at the fire and not running around chasing a dog like he was, or play fighting on the ground like him & Brandon. I was still going on ninja missions with Annie, but apparently I wasn’t having enough fun for him. At one point, Brandon and Annie randomly disappeared and went downstairs while David was inside, so I was sitting outside at the fire alone. When I went inside to go to the bathroom, David was sitting inside, reading a magazine. I wasn’t too pleased about that, so I went back outside and then after five minutes he didn’t come back outside so I went to see where he was. Still, he was just sitting on the chair reading a magazine and I just said “Really, you’re going to sit there and read a magazine while I’m just out at the fire alone?” and I walked back out to the fire, so he followed me out after a little bit. The first thing he said when he sat down was “This isn’t working for me” and I just burst into tears (obviously..). He started saying things like I was ruining the night because I wasn’t having fun, no one was hanging out at a group (which was apparently my fault, not the fault of the people who were actually leaving to make out…), blah blah blah.. and of course, at that point.. Brandon and Annie chose to walk back outside as I was crying.. so David said let’s take a walk, and we walked to the side of the house.
We just kind of sat there in silence for a few minutes, until he started talking again, and I started crying again, and then after a while it was just both of us sitting there, crying… Then he was talking about how there’s no ‘flex’ in our relationship, because when I was sitting in the chair and he sat on me, I asked him to get off because it was uncomfortable, and he was pulling my hair, so he should just get another chair and sit beside me. I didn’t think that was too bad, but APPARENTLY it means I don’t want to be close to him and blah blah blah, so he got all pissy at sat at the other side. So he brought that up, and then said “I feel like the only time we’re happy is when we’re doing sexual things.” Which I don’t agree with, at all, and just kinda.. hurt. So basically, it was an argument full of crying, and him getting mad at me for everything bad that happened that night, even though it had nothing to do with me and everything to do with the fact that the only reason Brandon even does these nights is so he can hang out with Annie.
But we didn’t end up breaking up, and then Annie’s dad came to pick her up and since Brandon was staying over and David was driving me home, I had to go back inside and try to make it seem like I wasn’t crying, even though Brandon would notice anyways because he can always tell when I’m upset. Brandon ended up staying there as David drove me home, and it was one of the quietest car rides I’ve ever been on, especially with David.
Friday night, I didn’t have a very good sleep. Not only was I super upset, turns out I had a bladder infection/UTI. I had one back in November and they are not plesant, AT ALL. It makes it burn every time you pee, which is like every 5 minutes. I couldn’t sleep much because it made me feel really sick like I was going to throw up and overall just felt really shitty. It’s better now though, because I’ve been drinking a lot of water and cranberry juice (which is fucking nasty in itself and makes me gag), and because last summer, my mom had a bladder infection and they gave her the same pills that I took back in November, but then before she finished the bottle of pills they gave her new ones. Since there were some left, she told me to take them and it’s pretty much cleared up now, which is REALLY good because thanks to the long weekend, I would have had to wait till today to get pills. Hopefully it stays away.
Saturday, I woke up early (after barely any sleep) to go to Toronto and go shopping with my best friend for her prom dress. She ended up finding one pretty quickly so it was good We spent a total of about two hours in the mall and then drove home, so I got home around 1ish.
Saturday at around 3, I left with my sister to drive to the trailer to pick up my parents, and then we went to my uncles for dinner. I haven’t seen my cousins in awhile so it was nice I wont the FCA for April 2010 Which, for those who don’t know (meaning all of you..) that’s the favourite cousin award 
Given by my oldest cousin on my mom’s side, Paige who is turning 10 next month. We played Rock Band: ACDC too, and my aunt would NOT let me stop playing drums because no one else would, and she wanted to finish all 18 songs. My foot was dead from doing the foot pedal, even though I didn’t do ALL of the songs. It was tortureeee. We did sparklers too once it got dark, and I didn’t end up getting home until after midnight.. I slept on the way home though
Sunday, David and I went hiking for a bit It was fun, and then we went to his house for ice cream after, and then back to my house so I could watch the Lost SERIES finale. He was debating on watching it with me or not, and then he did leave before it started. I sent him a text saying “I wish you woulda stayed :(” thinking he’d just see it when he got home, but then I heard his truck pull back into the drive way and he came and knocked on the door 
So he watched it with me, which made me happy 'cause I know he doesn't understand that show It was a confusing episode, like all of the others. I'm not gonna say anything about it incase anyone does watch it, but it was still really good!
Today, I left at about 11 to go pick up David with my sister and then we spent the day at our trailer (my parents have a trailer in a camp ground about 45 minutes away from our house.. they spend their weekends in the summer there). I was fishing for a while, and just sitting around.. and now I'm BURNT. Badly, though not NEARLY as badly as I was at the beginning of last summer. I didn't think it was that bad until I got home and saw how bad it really is. It's painful, and I'm not looking forward to sleeping tonight.. It's gonna hurt :( It's on my back, face, legs, arms and chest.. and probably the top of my head too, maybe my feet as well. Painnnful. I'm glad I had a shower this morning instead of waiting for tonight, because THAT would hurt. Badly.
It's back to school tomorrow though, which is gonna suck. Not only 'cause I'll be burnt, but because I have my comtech presentation to do. I hate presenting :(
I have a bunch of pictures I could post, but I'm too lazy and sore to resize them, so I'll do that for the next blog. I'm also working on a new layout for the site. It's almost all coded, except the footer doesn't seem to like working in IE. I know that this layout fails in IE, so I'm trying to make the next one a little more friendly for everyone.. even though anyone still using IE needs to switch to something a lot better. Like Firefox, for example.
Speaking of switching.. if anyone in the Southern California area (San Diego, Irvine, Carlsbad, etc) is looking to switch houses (ie. move) and needs some movers, check out Irvine movers, Carlsbad movers and San Diego movers from All Star Moving Company. They’ve had A rating business for 11 years, and with the housing market collapse in Southern California, it’s important to find good movers. So check them out It’s both family owned and operated, so you know that the movers packing up your things will be the same ones unpacking them too. Their site even features packing tips, testimonials and contact information so be sure to check it all out at their site! All of their trucks are state of the art 24 foot moving vehicles so you won’t have to worry about a thing. They are all highway certified and also go through maintenance checks every 90 days so no worry about the trucks breaking down or being stopped during your move. I know a few people live around California, so for those finally moving out of their parents house or starting a new life of your own, contact All Star Moving Company. If I lived in the area, I’d definitely be contacting them!
As you can see, I’ve signed up at PayPerPost.com so I can get some extra money before I spend all the money I have in Paypal on renewing Quotetastic in June. If I decide to renew it that is, but it’s been my baby for almost three years so I don’t want to give it up :(
I’ll end this post with my condolences to the family of Brittany Murphy (who died last December) and Simon Monjack, her husband of three years. He passed away last night while waiting on a heart operation. Details here. RIP both Brittany and Simon. Brittany always was one of my favourite actresses
(And my sister didn’t know she died until today, when she found out her husband died too.)

New Glasses :)
Posted on: May 20, 2010 at 6:22 pm. 7 comments
Last Friday, I went to the eye doctors for the first time in about 4 years and yesterday (Wednesday), I went and picked up my two new pairs of glasses! I got a plain black pair, and then a purple pair with a cool lightning-ish design on them. I really like them both, though I think I’ll wear the black more because they are simpler and not as flashy I didn’t think people would really notice that I got new glasses, because they were quite similar to my old glasses that I’ve had since grade 10, but I guess since people were so used to the other ones, they did notice the change, even if it was slight
This post shall count towards my photo blog, because I’m adding some photos, even if they are just of my new glasses 
I tried to get a little creative with the one picture, getting a close up of the design in the purple glasses while focusing on the writing that is on the arm band. So here are some pictures of my new glasses, that I love (even if they do make me feel like I’m walking on a slant and sometimes give me a headache. I can see clearer, and I’ll get used to all the other crap!)
The purple ones are a tad bit too big for my liking, but I still like the design that inside the frames I think those will be the ones that I wear when I feel a little fancier
It’s the Grey’s Anatomy season finale tonight! I’m quite excited, but scared too because there’s a shooting in the hospital. I’ve already watched some spoiler clips that show two people who get shot, but I’m terrified that McDreamy will get shot too, due to who the shooter is
David asked me to go out for dinner with his cousin, his cousins new girlfriend & him tonight.. but.. really? I can't miss the season finale. I know that it sounds lame to ditch your boyfriend for a TV show, but Grey's Anatomy is literally like.. my religion. You wouldn't miss church for something like that, would you? Idk, I don't go to church.. I watch Grey's Anatomy instead. But anyways, if he forgets that we’re supposed to hang out (and then blames it on me), I think I deserve the right to watch the Finale instead of go to dinner.
I told him that I’d go if he could PROMISE me that I’d be home by nine, but he said he couldn’t, and that he wouldn’t want to deal with making me miss it anyways. Which, is true.. I’ve been known to get very angry at people when the TV isn’t working right before 9, or if they try to get in the way of Grey’s Anatomy. It’s just not allowed, because that show is my lifeee.
Oh, and the Lost SERIES finale on Sunday! Three freaking hours long, and it will be the end. I’m excited, but a little scared because I don’t know who (if anyone) is going to live, or if the whole island is just going to blow up. It’s funny, because I’ve always wanted a show to end by everyone just blowing up, but now that it’s ACTUALLY a possibility for lost.. I don’t want it to happen :’( I’m going to cry if Jack or Hurley die, they’re my favourites
I still haven’t found a prom dress, but I’m not going to school tomorrow (there’s a field trip that I’m not going on), so my parents are taking me prom dress shopping If I don’t hang out with David/Brandon/His girlfriend Annie, then I’m going shopping AGAIN friday night with my friends, and then to Toronto to go shopping again with my best friend on Saturday. Should be funnn
