Sorry for the lack of updates. Three projects due on the same week right after our camping trip doesn’t really help. I just got back from a friend’s house because we were working on a Halloween Project. The four of us have to come up with a play and film it and it’s the most pointless thing I’ve been assigned, but we still have to do it.

Since I’m the only one with a video camera I brought mine and we started filming. After messing up about 7 times we finally got a good take, but we wanted to film it once more, to make it all the more perfect. Me being my brilliant self, re winded the whole tape and we started filming again (which erased our previous take) It was a minute into the skit before we realized the battery had died and we were left with two unfinished takes. Nice.

My friend Alessia had a digital camera, so we used that to film. Unfortunately, her’s doesn’t have a flash/light thing or whatever and when we were in a dark room all you could see was darkness. Our teachers are going to be impressed ;D Right now, I’m debating whether we’ll be fail, or get an R which means we fail AND we have to redo it. I think I’ll take the F.

All that drama and failure after I had spent 3 days on my History Brochure, which is due tomorrow. I honestly HATE that project. The brochure is pointless, doesn’t print properly, and comes out in big jumble. What’s the point of the brochure anyway? Whatever happened to a traditional essay? I’d prefer Bristol Board projects over this! If I ever find the person that came up with this brilliant idea, I’m going to kick their smart little ass. Now that I have my mess of a brochure done, and our wonderful production out of the way, only one more fun project to go! (This one, being completely pointless and stupid as well, is called the Cereal Box project. And yes, our project is going on the cereal box -.- Yay…)

If you’ve read some of my recent blogs you might have learned that I’ve gained an interest in the Twilight series. And if you haven’t, you have now. But what’s funny is people posting on their blogs and sites saying, “I love Edward Cullen.” or “I married Edward Cullen.” I have one of those girls at school announcing it everyday and it gets just downright annoying! You’d think the people that really like the book and don’t just say they love it because it’s probably the first book they’ve finished would know better than to fantasize that Edward Cullen is real. He’s a freakin VAMPIRE! The only reason he would get together with you is probably to suck the daylights out of you! And even IF he were real he’s already got a little girlfriend So stop dreaming. No offense to those people that really think they’re married to him o.O

Obsession goes a long way people, I mean I could say, “As long as their love is true, who cares if Edward is a damn vampire?” But then I would be breaking the hearts of those people that actually like THE BOOK. And those people that are supposedly married to Edward when they finally figure out he’s not real. I just can’t wait until the movie comes out; there’s sure to be a ton more Edward obsessed fans after that. Oh joy!

My camping trip is in 2 days. OMG!!!!!OMG!!!! I’m so excited!!! Not about the clothes I have to bring though. Our teachers told us to bring old clothes so my mom decided to give me all her old clothes and I went through some of my old clothes and if I put them together it actually looks pretty good on me…yeah….no. I look like a frickin hobo. I mean I can understand wearing that stuff when we go in the mudslides but I mean our clothes aren’t going to get THAT ruined. We went to Walmart and bought these sweats for like $16 and some tops for $9 but they’re still weird looking. Right now I’m weighing my options between going to Aeropostale to see if I can find some stuff there to bring or I could go to Value Village and wash the clothes 3 times before I would wear them. I’m only going to wear the clothes once and then throw them out there but whatever.

Still watching episodes of Arthur (still the best show ever!) The layout is getting kind of boring so I’m working on a new one.

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!
