September 6, 2008 Wax Art
Written by Julia
[Edit]New layout featuring the Behemoth and unidentified roller coasters. Theme: Memoirs of the past summer[/Edit]
Remember being in Kindergarten and using those multi-coloured wax sticks to colour pictures of multiple animals that probably don’t even exist while some weird kid that always had a runny nose sat in the corner of the room, away from the group picking at the wax sticks and attempting to eat it? You might also recall that these wax sticks had a name. Crayons you say? (They always smelled weird to me) Well, did you ever think that eight years after Kindergarten, almost on your way to High School that you would be using CRAYONS again? Just 4 days into Grade 8 and I have learned that you are never too old to colour with crayons! Even though I still consider myself a kid. Our teachers are somewhat convinced that we are in our teenage years and is entering adult hood - wtf?
Anyways, those crayons are seriously pissing me off. We have to do something for art where we draw on the backs of sandpaper and then trace it backwards on the rough part. We then use crayons and colour our backwards picture and once we’re finished we iron it onto an incredibly small t-shirt which is somehow supposed to fit us even though if we wore it to school it would be against our dress code. And since the picture was backwards, when it was ironed on, it would be right ways and the crayon would melt onto the t-shirt. But almost the whole class is done and I had to start over because my pictures were too small and detailed and the crayons made it all messed up and smushed together. Those darn crayons are a pain in the ass because they break every time I hold them a bit tighter and I can’t find a sharpener that has a big enough hole to fit the damn crayon in so I can sharpen it! So my sandpaper/soon to be t-shirt art is half coloured lying in a pile of broken crayons and wax shavings from the sharpeners in which I attempted to shove the crayons in but ended up breaking the whole crayon.
Moral of today’s story: Me+Crayons= A Pissed off me
I still have to finish it though. Dammit. And those Crayola Crayons aren’t as wonderful as they say in the commercial where the crayons appear to be dancing around on the page, drawing out images themselves. What a rip - and the name Crayola for a brand of Crayons and school junk is stupid. STUPID!
Now something nice I’d like to share with you  I was able to go on the Behemoth twice during my trip to Wonderland and I would tell you it wasn’t worth the wait if the line was extremely long and we were waiting for over two ours to get on, but the first time we went on it was only about a 40 minute wait and it was pretty cool, so if you ever go there you should definitely try it. IT’S NOT AS THRILLING OR SCARY OR BEASTLY AS IT LOOKS! TRUST ME!
August 31, 2008 SCHOOLschool
Written by Katarina
Title says all. School starts on the second of September! I’m going to grade 7, and a new school, since my old one only went up to grade 6. Well of course I’ll have homework on the first day — like I always do — and that means less time on the computer. : (
So, I apologize in advance for unactiveness.
I know like literally half the people in my new school, plus 2 of my good friends are coming with me there as well, so friends won’t be much of a problem..
TEACHERS. Everyone I know in grade 8 there told me that the grade 7 teachers are absolutely terrible — let alone the grade 8 ones! Usually, teachers love me, but they’ve claimed these teachers seem to have no emotions.. o-O
A-and I know I shouldn’t believe everything kids tell me, but even my own brother went to that school and said it was hell there. x___x
I’m screwed.
That’s it for now, I guess.
Thanks Julia for reminding me to post. XD
August 26, 2008 The Ups and Downs
Written by Julia
No, the title does not refer to the events of my life. In fact, I will finally be able to experience the wonderfulness of the Ups and Downs and loops and whatever else there is to the Behemoth. And yes, wonderfulness is a word because there is no red squiggly line under it =D
Tomorrow we will head out to Toronto and will first visit Ontario Place (The Lantern Festival there is supposed to be fabulous and it’s the last year they’re hosting it so why not?) And then Wednesday, Wonderland Which I will be visiting with a friend. I am currently being yelled at by my mother to get off the computer and start packing, which I will. Updates on my life and the site will be followed up to date when I am back. TTFN (Ta Ta For Now)
