Grad ramblings

I cant even express how fun grad was ( minus after grad. that kind of stunk a bit but when are after grads ever fun?)
But the banquet. ceremonies and after after rocked my face off.

Everyone was so nice to each other this whole week so it sucks that im going to have to leave them all and not be able to see them again. Honestly. that really makes me sad.

The banquet went well considering me and bryan were the MCs and they totally switched the order on us and didnt tell us. that rocked. but apparantly we pulled it off well.
Mr B didnt talk about dragon flies this time so that was cool

The ceremonies seemed pretty short for our class size, our history and prophecy rocked ( Ill put mine up here later. i dont have my memory book with me so i forget some of it ) and everyone seemed to have a good time.
it was so good seeing people you havent seen in forever, if any of you read this thank you SOO much for coming out, it means alot, seriosly. ( even the ones I see often )

The after after grad was suprisingly one of my highlights because nothing got out of hand , nobody started anything, I met a whole bunch of people and there wasnt much peer pressure.
Although I dont think iv ever gotten that many hugs in my life from people I dont know and from people who I didnt think ever would. But thats what you get mixing grad with alchahol.
Im very glad I went and even glad I stayed the whole night ( because my ride left without me )

Man im gonna miss some of those people.
Stink...


( ill put up photos when my laptop comes, this computer stinks )

I'll name him crazy talk

So on the way to work today ( haha I LOVE being able to start stories like that) I got out of my car and started walking towards the midtown and this homeless man stood up from where he was sitting and started walking beside me.
He struck up a very odd conversation which was harmless enough so the least I could do was listen to the poor guy and add in a few " oh yah " s.
He first pointed towards the construction machines and he says " Those are from the GOVERMENT arent they?"
He continued with " you see all this dust blowing around? they need to clean up eh? they need to clean up these weeds eh, those wont do any good there eh. you see that dirt in the corner there? how are they gonna get that out eh??"
He then proceeded to talk about soil erosion and how he learned it in school and then started pointing at his eyepatch and explained how dust is blowing everywhere and bugs can fly into your eyes .
He bid me farewell at the corner as I walked across the cross walk and reminded me that mice were gross. He seemed satisfied at the information he presented me with and he was on his way.

He was an intresting man, although a little bit strange.
It was kind of sad to see but Im sure he hasn't talked to someone for a long time and meant no harm to anyone, he just needed to tell someone a story, so I thought Id humor him and pretended to be interested in his paranoid antics for that short walk to the crosswalk while most people just ignored him or told him off.


Thats my story about the kind of man most people dont have time for. I personally found him interesting/funny and a different start to my day.

I am the (wo)man!

I just got an official call from australia ( not the whole country (haha janelle. a 49283626467 way call) ) and I got told I am officially accepted for the reef to outback DTS!
I rock!

Im forsurly leaving all you suckers to rot here in dalmeny!
....Aw that wasn't nice. Well...Im leaving all you while you have to STAY in dalmeny.
Better?

The point is im leaving. Forsure. And that makes me more happy then words can describe


I only have 2 more days of highschool life left....Better make the most of it and not do my homework for old times sake.

Im sorry, its my first day.

So I started my job today...

Im hoping its just a case of the "first day of work blues" but...I dont see the glamorous photography studio fantasy being unfurled before my eyes like I was expecting. (well not really "expecting" but you know what i mean )
Instead its kind of a crappy fantasy knock off with an evil perfectionist overlord and really mean servants (with the exception of one).

But thats alright...its my first day right?.....right!?


Bah, responsibilities are for the weak. Im going back to kindergarten.

So long suckas!

Do you remember what it was like to dream, before you were 17?

In 3 days I start my very first job ever ( Barn playhouse doesn't count ) at the Sears portrait studio....I'm 17.....and I've waited until the end of grade 12 to get a job. I have issues.

But this isn't what I intended on blogging about. PSYCHE!


I feel very....inspired today. Too bad its 10:30 and I cant really do anything about it.
For some reason the rain effected me in a positive way today, it injected creativity into my veins and I picked up my camera for the first time in a while and a wrote a bit.
Maybe because it was the good kind of rain instead of a muggy mist but this refreshing rain stopped just in time for me to go out and catch a beautiful sunset tonight. That was pretty cool.

Its getting closer to my graduation day by the minute and I don't think ill have an abundance of these nights left in me. Im going to be SO busy this summer and after summer Im going to be working/being a youth sponsor again so I wont have as much spare time to just bum around.
I think thats the only part of highschool im going to miss....ever

last thought of the night.
I was cleaning/re-ogranizing my room today and i was looking around and if you ever want to find out what im all about or who I am. Look in there. Theres little peices of me everywhere ( not literally of course )
I like it better cleaned up other than in a mess.
Thats one thing about me my room doesn't reflect though.
Im a mess,... I guess.


Sorry about the lame post guys. I felt like writing something and it came out as ...written diahrea.

Gruff Rhys & Bright Eyes

Oh wow....oh wow....oh wow...

I can die tomorrow and I wouldn't even care. my life has been completed!
Except for a few minor flaws, Tonight was overall perfect.

The whole night was packed with genius is all I can say.

Gruff Rhys amazed/surprised the heck out of me. He was halarious and that guy is the definition of creativity and only a live show will ever do him justice. I almost was peeing myself the whole time and thinking "how the crap is he doing that?" and "why is there a plastic bird on the stage?"

And Bright eyes. Well. Im still in awe they even came here. As I was looking up watching conor do his thing ( with alot of spit flying everywhere but thats ok ) with overflowing intensity. I was like....nope. Cant be happening, they wouldnt come to saskatoon. Why would they come to saskatoon?
But they were....and im glad.
Although they didnt play some of the songs I was hoping for ( aside from first day of my life and lover I dont have to love ) It was pretty good. I like it when bands play old stuff most people arent familiar with.
The whole band played with such intensity it was insane. The lyrics are perfect and I Loved every second of it

quote of the night said by Conor Oberst.

" this song is written about being put somewhere you dont belong.....like flamingos....in the west edmonton mall.........or a pirate ship.....in the west edmonton mall.....or me .....walking around in the west edmonton mall"




I have succeeded in seeing two of my favorite bands in two months....I do declare that I win.

Sometimes....

Sometimes I seriosly question if some people actually have a single working brain cell in their skull.

Quest for a porcupine...day 1

Hahaha...What the heck? So this is the story of our potential porcupine under our deck


One day. I walked outside and looked under the deck...there was big mounds of dirt and a hole. My first thought was. haha...bears stupid(my dog). Because he likes to lie in cool ground so I assumed it was him.

Fast forward a couple days...I find a bunch of porcupine quills in bear. and I think it was just from me and him walking on the railroad tracks when he was rolling around in the ditch. But the last few days we are finding more. Unless hes escaping to the railroad tracks everyday...it must be coming from somewhere close.

So the thought comes to me....wait a minute...porcupines live in holes....So me and brennan went to the backyard tonight to investigate, the hole definatly couldnt have been dug by bear because it goes like...under a lawn mower. But since porcupines are noctournal we figured me must be out and about doing his porcupine thing and he was nowhere to be seen.

Our adventure continues tomorow when hes fast asleep...perhaps.

I think I might be growing attached to him....if hes even there....if we discover him and isnt killed by brennan...I think I might have to name him..

Which makes me think...if there is...what the crap are we supposed to do to keep it from hurting our dog? Minus killing it...because i dont want to.
