Learning
----------------------
Slightly busy, yet, feeling rantive right now, so beware because I'm kinda bout to make a
rant. Sorry if it bugs you^^;;
For the last 3 years I've been webdesigning, for the last few months people have been
asking me to help them build their site. Normally, I'm fine with it, nowadays, I'm usually
not. Why? Because there's no point. If you can't take the time to learn how to design and
code one page I'm sorry but you won't be able to live in the world of Web Design. The most
I can do is make a preset layout for you, that's it, but it's up to you to put your site
together. Remember it's YOUR site. Not mine, yours, this means that
technically you have to do everything yourself. O.k. so you do something wrong and it
screws your layout. Who cares, try it again and see what's wrong. Check it out first before
you ask someone for help. Trial and error people, creating a decent website does not happen
in 10mins, any site that says something like "Build your site in 10mins or less!" is just
a load of BS. There's no such thing, those who know me know that it's taken me 3 years to
get to my current level of decency in web design. (and graphics for that matter), did
someone teach me? no, did some make me a layout when I first started? no.
I got no help, I had to learn on my own through trial and error. Yes, some parts were
harsh, but that's life. So really, overall, don't ask me to help you with coding, because I
most certainly will not if you haven't attempted to do it yourself. Why should I take my
time to work on your site when you should be working on it? I've got 3 sites to manage
people, if you can't even take some of your time off to work on your site, then you
shouldn't be creating one(commitment is a big part of site-making).
Yep, so in conclusion of my rant: "You don't try, I won't help, period" (if I can
take time to work on my sites, so can you).
On another better note, I'm finally going to (hopefully) get DDR Extreme 2 (O.k. originally
I wanted Extreme, but since it's expensive, scrap that, that plus I can always go after
school to DDR Extreme in the theatre arcade). But, anyyyyways, yes, DDR, finally I can use
the pad I bought ages ago xD. but yes, bwahahaha, finally I can get some practice and get
off light mode sooonnn lol. Oh, my friend Michael was on the Chinese radio today, though I
didn't hear it, he told me hahaha. Super cool, and our cosplay group got advertised!
Weeeee. Yep, now I'll shut up and go finish my homework xD

So much work so little time
----------------------
Well, first I'm actually stressed from spending the last 3 hours doing my English, History
and Biology work. And out of all I've worked tonight, I've finished my Bio. got 3 responses
done for English (I have one left), and almost finished the Archaelogical Analysis questions
for History. History is mostly the thing that's bugging me now (I can't figure out questions
5 and 6 T-T), because after I'm done with the analysis questions I have to write an essay
too (all of this is on the comparison of Biblical and Babylonian Flood stories). Garr, now I
have to take my work with my on the trip too T-T. I really really need my essay done x_x.
Anyways, besides my grief in homework, I got Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 for my
birthday from my dad (bwahahaha finally) well, last night I spent half my night unlocking
songs (and managed to unlock almost half the songs in the game). Invited tracy to play with
me today and we unlocked more songs. But, damn, do my feet (and ankles) hurt from dancing
too much xD. But it's so hyperly fun and addictive I didn't want to stop x333. Oh, that
reminds me, I found that my DDR pad is a rip off (none of the ps controller buttons work
*as in x, square, triangle, circle*) only the 4 arrows I need to play as well as the start
and select button work. Garrrr, damn rip off pad cost me $20 >_<;
but I can still use it, it's just a royal pain to have to play the song, then unplug the
pad, plug in the controller to select the next song and then unplug the controller again
and then plug the pad back in before the song starts.
Ya, it's so tedious xp.
Oh and Polovtsian Dances And Chorus from DDR Extreme 2 so far pwns all the songs I've
played up to this point x3333 (damn the characters in the background video are smexy x3333)

Early extra long weekend
----------------------
Well, first of all, I got the other half of my retainer (the bottom half to be exact), no,
that part isn't permenant (as I originally thought). But it's a horrible pain. My teeth
(bottom set) are in pain, I had so much trouble putting the bottom retainer back on after
I ate (all because of this smal part of the wire sticks out and scratches against one of
my teeth which is really painful). Not to mention that the bottom retainer affects my
ability to talk since the plastic part reaches to nearly the end of my tongue >_>
Garrr, in other words, I hate it, it's painful, it's bugging, yes I probably won't be
painful in a few days but right now, it hurts. Garrrr >_<
Anyways besides my horrible teeth pain, I'm leaving to go on vacation with my parents in
Sault St. Marie to see the Agawa Canyon(I don't think that's how you spell it but lol).
I'm mostly interested in the train ride though.
Horrible part is that I have to take my homework with me (Damn stupid homework teachers
give us, garrr, we've got so much due next week after the long weekend >_<)
Anyhow, I'll shut up and go to sleep now before I'm deprived of even more sleep (since I
need to be up at 6:00am xD, yes I'm only going to get something like 5 some hours of sleep
x3, yes I'll shut up now xp)

----------------------
O.k. so I came back from my trip (about 1 1/2 hours ago xD). Took the ps2 with me and
unlock a ton of new songs for DDR Extreme 2. (of course I can't actually dance to more than
half the songs I unlocked xp bleh me needs practice) I played something like a total of 10+
hours of DDR (at least 5 hours straight on my way up to Sault St. Marie, a few hours in between,
and another 4 hours on my way back home).
Bwahahaha, I'm addicted to Polovtsian Dances And Chorus x33333 It pwns all the DDR songs I
played x3. and I'll say it again Feel is smexy x333333
Anyways, 4 days. I missed 1 1/2 days of school (missed going out to pmall on Friday and to
Sandra's for Thanksgiving ;_; *hope you guys had fun btw =3 *). I actually didn't do very
much homework (just Math), I hardly started my History essay because I needed my notes and
I had to do some research (will start that tomorrow x3). English isn't a problem since I
can finish that in something like 30 mins (hey, I mean I did 3 responses in one night xp).
Oh, besides school junk, I had fun on my trip, saw lots of pretty leaves in Sault St. Marie.
omg, climbing the Agawa canyon to the lookout point was harrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdddddd work.
we walked up over 300 steps, and note that this was all stair-climbing x_x (<--well that's
my exercise for the year). It was pretty cold up there too(bah, it's way way north of
Toronto so I didn't expect it to be that warm xp).
Saturday, we went to Mackinac Island (I think that's how you spell it x_x, me lazy to
check). My dad, brother and I rented bikes and biked through the island (our bikes sucked
xp), and my mom took one of the group carriage tours (and I swear I've never seen so many
horse-drawn carriages in one place before O_o, that plus, I've never seen that much horse
poop before xD). Biked a lot, then returned the bikes after about 2 some hours. After that
we bought some fudge to eat (mmm fudge, there were a lot of fudge stores there, mm...fudge..
.mmmm....it was good <3).
Sunday(or yesterday), we were at an outlet mall most of the time, I bought another book
full of sheet music (100 songs to be exact xD). Then we drove to Detroit, had dinner there
and then drove through to Windsor to get back home.
Whew, long trip, felt like I was gone for at least a week puu xD
oh, and Happy Thanksgiving^^ (for Cananda anyway )
*now I'll shut up and go to sleep, since I've oh so very deprived of sleep and is 2:30am xD*
Oh wait, one more thing (check out OZ! x333 Feel is smexy <3333):

hoaxes and holiday
----------------------
I spent most of the day doing my History essay and my last English response. Puu, didn't
get to DDR today T-T, hopefully will do on Thursday though^^
Ah, here's a short rant, because I really feel like ranting about this for maybe 5 seconds:
Don't you just hate e-mail hoaxes about viruses and such. Seriously, it bugs me that some
of these get sent to me. Like today, I got the e-mail about a "virtual card for you" virus.
The e-mail said CNN announced it to be a hoooorrrrible virus. Course, I checked out CNN and
of course, it wasn't there. Boy oh boy, do virus hoax creators think we're idiots that can't
tell that that e-mail is a hoax? That one has got to be the least believable hoax I've
gotten. And I'm sure you've all seen the Hotmail hoax about MSN Hotmail deleting accounts
to free up server space. For crying out loud, if MSN was really going to do that, would
they really tell you to forward the e-mail to other people? >_>
That one was another bad one, I swear I've got it over 50 times. But anyways, point is
people, is check before believing^^
O.k. besides that, hahaha, had Thanksgiving dinner, mmm.turkey, i'm still eating my desert
right now (cake isn't really good this year xp). Trip kinda screwed my schedule hahaha, it
feels like Sunday, but no, actually it's Tuesday (I was going to say Monday but it's past
12am xD). Boo, school, yes I think I should shut up and go to bed now xD
(o, wait, almost forgot to mention that I bought one of those "Magic 6-Balls" on my trip,
bwahahaha, I'm so evil, I've been bugging my brother with it a lot since I bought it,
bwahahaha, the magic 8-ball knows all xDDD. wait, what am I talking about? no it doesn't
<--don't mind me, I've had too much sugar today x3)

in need of brain rest
----------------------
Yes, I am pretty tired and stressed. Actually, I'm more tired than stressed, really should
stop staying up till something like 1am every night. My parents are really bugging me about
it to, mostly my dad (with his typical "What are do doing up so late?" "Why were you up so
late?" "Go to bed earlier" sayings). Anyways, I won't rant about that despite the fact that
I'm getting so sick of being questioned like that. =_=.
School, school, school is a pain, Chem.....I can't talk about my last Chem. test, I refuse
to speak about it. (for shame to me). I need more sleep in general, up too late, staring at
the computer screen talking around on msn. Yes, I am oh so very sleep deprived, I was hardly
able to actually stay awake today during class (mostly during Math, which is bad for me x_x).
Speaking of Math, my weekend Math teacher is still a *insert swear word*, 'hate' is such a
strong word so I'll just say that I plain don't like her. She just plainly refuses to accept
another way of answering a question in which she didn't teach (o.k. that probably didn't
make much sense but anyways), I've showed her how I solved things, I showed her that I got
the right answer. But does she care? hell no >_<;
O.k. so now you've heard some of the junk that's happened for the past few weeks.(or days).
On to other stuff xD.
Last Friday I had an awsome time with Michael, Mel and other Nexus members. lol, we went
out for dinner at HoSu (great food mm...I actually finish basically everything I ordered
hahaha). Talked to Mel a lot, hehe, haven't seen or spoken to each other in ages (lol, we
always talk a lot whenever we hang out). Ah, Michael and Mel, got me a Kikyou, figurine too.
Very cool, lol, I usually don't get figurines for my birthday (and yes, Michael, I did go
on a crazy rampage from that birthday card..xDDD rawr *runs around* j/k). Ah, we all had
fun =3 (Shi makes goooodddd, desserts mmm... *drool, stalks for food* xD j/k). We took lots
of funny pictures ho ho hahaa (now we're all going to be embarassed and humiliated too xD).
Oi, and I must mention that Michael's jacket is posessed (becuase it glows when you look at
it in a picture xDDDD).
yep, that was one of the highlights for the past few days. Oh, last thing, I'm getting
baptized this Christmas too (yep, that's right Camille, baptized ^^). Gotta work on my
testimony.
Neways, better get to bed before my dad starts bugging me >_>.

munny, yearbook, birthdays and such
----------------------
No really, the past few weeks have been oh so hectic. Honestly, nowadays I don't get that
much time to do any of own stuff.
This week - United Way week at school, during that I was busy doing yearbook photos for the
Music section. (that plus candids in the halls at lunch and at the featured events).I'm
not entirely done all the photos yet because of choir and the stage band/jazz ensemble,
neither of thm had everyone come in, garrrrrr, all I get is "ya...this isn't a really good
time,maybe we can do it another time?" Well...this coming week is no excuse, it's either
take the picture and be in the yearbook or no picture and no be in the yearbook(that or I
replace the picture with Photoshop drawn stick-people).
O.k. next to that I had experienced the most stupid thng in school this week. (this kinda
a rant,but I want it out of my system cause it bugs me). O.k., on Thursday(I think xD can't
remember) I forgot to take a fork for my lunch, so I went into the cafeteria to get one.
I go in, grab a plastic fork and on my way out th cafeteria lady at the register asked me
if I bought something from the cafeteria. Course, I'm honest, I told her no. So she says,
oh...you see..you're supposed to pay for that if you didn't buy something. But I'll let you
go,but next time you gotta pay
O.k. seriously this is riddiculous, for one thing, it's just a plastic fork!!! omg, who the
hell pays for a plastic fork!!!??? no no, wait, who the hell pays for a cafeteria plastic
fork!? O.k. I would understand better if there were maybe only a few forks left in the
basket, but nooooo, I took from a full basket that I swear hardly anyone has taken from.
And what does she say? You have to pay 10 cents for a stupid plastic fork!? Wow, I never
thought our school was that poor, but making people pay for plastic forks just because they
didn't buy something, that's sad.
Yes, life's horrible, and I've been busy as hell these days (note to self that I also have
to start writing my testimony), my workload, I swear is twice as much as I expected it to be.
That plus because of all this, I end up staying up till about 3am on Friday just to finish
my weekend Math junk too. The concert I went to for music was a rip-off, sheesh, I did not
pay something like $7.25 just to listen to the TSO play 2 songs and listen to the conductor
blab about the history of it. =_=;
*sigh* yes, there's so much crap in my life right now.
O.k. that's the crap, now I can enlighten you with more optimistic events.
Last week was my mom's birthday(Oct. 21), coinsidentally it was also my friend Tracy's
birthday. I originally invited her over to DDR, but instead I she ended up coming with my
family to dinner that night hehe (my om invited her when me and Tracy bumped into her on
my way home). lol, Tracy is the first person I've known to have the same birthday as my
mom :p. (I know a bunch of people who share the same birthday as my dad though xD). Today
I was at Ikran's birthday party lol, came in late cause I had Math class before and went
to the UofT fall fair to grab info. for what I might be going into after high school.
We had fun lol, got her ps2 working and such lol,ah...we're planning to go to the arcade
and DDR this week to test our *cough*hopefully*cough* improved DDR skills :p.
Oh and it's Daylight Savings time(well already started lol), my computer hasn't adjusted
the time yet so it still currently says 1:22am. But it's actually 12:22am so yay lol,
extra hour of watching Azumanga Daioh xDDDD (so random, and now I'll shut up *runs off*)
