You know what I will probably never understand about pre-teen girls, why everything has to be what everyone else wants and not what they want. Yes, I admit i've fallen for the "do what's cool" bit too, but definitely not as bad as my sister (and soon to be sisters) have it. If you're not understanding what this post is about, i will give enough examples for you to get the picture:
1) Spending at least an hour on your hair, and another ten minutes on your makeup
2) Going shopping every weekend and buying a shirt that is too tight, and made out of material that cost the designer three dollars, and they are now charging it for fifteen
3)Using my hair straightener when they've been told specifically not to use it
4)Using name-calling to try to get even
5)Expects you to clean the entire house up for her friend to come over while she stares at the mirror to make sure that she looks perfect
6)Refuses to buy anything that is from Wal-mart, Zellers, and other big-name discount stores
7)Stares at herself in the mirror and pouts her lip to see if she's looking any better
8)The only calls coming in are the ones from her friend...who she sees everyday, but believes something bad will happen to her reputation if she doesn't talk to her for at least an hour after school
9)Watches tv shows that are way out of her age group...aka gossip girl and other superficial dramas with sex scenes in it, and
10)Refuses to treat you like a human being unless that are witnesses around, or she wants you to drive her some where...
....oh superficial society, what have you done to my sisters???

My life right now is as eventful as the Saskatchewan Landscape...
Man. Nothing is happening right now. I work friday....and i have a BIG chemistry test on Friday, which I have to do good on. And speaking of chemistry, I had to build a rocket out of a pop bottle....and yes, it was a group project....and notice how I did not say "we had to build a rocket out of a pop bottle"...i said I had to build a rocket out of a pop bottle. hmmm.....i think you all can get the hint (you being angela and tamara).
I've also started working out again (thank god). But because I suddenly have asthma from out of the blue, I almost died last night doing my ....walking video...thats right! I said it! W-A-L-K-I-N-G V-I-D-E-O! and since none of you other bloggers/creepers/tamara and ang can come down to where i live, i think it is safe to say that my reputation isn't that harmed.
I've also been really tired today...so tired that my eyes have been burning. which is greeeaat.
I'm reading this book by Stephen King, called 'it' and it is really good! it was actually really boring at first, but after you get into it, and gets really really good. The book is basically about this monster, that takes the main shape of a clown, and when it corners its victims, they see it as their biggest fear...like a mummy, or the monster from the black lagoon.. anyways, its really good. But, if i could change one thing about it, I find that his books contain WAY too many nude scenes, and total innappropriateness....but maybe its just me who's uncomfortable with some of the stuff he puts in them.
And i got my social project done, which you can tell from the fact that you are still here, and in no time since nov 4 did the universe implode...
But now, I have to go finish my math, for if i don't.......I will lose marks.

Jeez Louise....
Boy. I had promised to write on this thing at LEAST once a week....looks like i need to start getting into a habit. Now, nothing in my life is new or exciting. School sucks because of all the homework that we're getting...and work sucks because i'm not working until next weekend now.
Speaking of work, last Sunday, i got to work at the gemini awards. It was SO much fun! Well, it was until after the hoors d'oerves were served and I became instantly clumsy, and not able to do anything while we were serving supper. But i did get to meet some people that I admire so much, like Luba Goy. She's from the Real Canadian Air Farce, and when i was like, 8, i would be up at 6am watching her show, and I always loved her the best. So getting to meet her and talk to her for a few seconds was probably the highlight of my night. I also saw some recognizable faces, such as the (pretty much) entire cast of corner gas, kevin newman....and....lots of people from little mosque on the prairie. And, i also saw the person i wanted to see most for literally a second before he dashed off....yes, it was the hunky, adorable, slightly -badass George Strombolopolous (i probably butchered the name there). That was definetly another highlight of my night, although he is much shorter than you'd think he is....i think he may have even been a little shorter than i am. But still, it's George, and you love him no matter what.
So that's my work life....and speaking of work, i'm really excited because next saturday me and a girl from work are going to get tickets to the Hedley concert. So I am very very excited about that. I actually just bought there new cd a few days ago, and its probably five times better than they're first cd, and i loved their first one. So now i'm just hoping that the concert isn't going to be sold out by next saturday.
I'm also realizing that i hate my social teacher. He's rude, yells alot, and hates me. I actually have a social project that i should be working on....oh well. He's assigned this other project as well where you have to talk about your families history, and from talking to a few people, it's obvious that everyone is making it all up. So that should be a quick enough assignment, because all you'll have to do is google up a place from wherever your family came from, and then just talk about how your family felt when they migrated over here. It's a pretty dumb assignment if you ask me...and not because you learn about your family and stuff, thats actually a good idea. But for a grade twelve class, it makes it seem like he thinks that we have nothing better to do than to research our family. But really, the people I have met at my school, really don't even have time to stop running and take a break. So how he thinks that we're going to actually research all of this stuff, i'll never know.
I've also discovered some disappointing news....Regina doesn't have a 3d theather capable of showing the nightmare before christmas in 3d. This of course, is very disappointing because as it is my favourite movie of all time, not being able to see it in 3d just plain out sucks. I was told by our Imax that if i really wanted to see it, the closest place i would have to go to would be either Calgary or Edmonton...and that just made me miss home even more!
Anyways, gotta go and finish my social.....for if i don't, the whole universe will implode!
