Avril Lavigne - Nobody's Home |

Wow. I seriously never update this thing anymore. Only because GJ is way better though. ♥
So I've got exams coming up in less than 2 weeks. This week is basically all review in all of my classes, so, that should be just an absolutely riveting few days. Gym will probably be fun though since I don't have an exam there and it's basically just fun, random stuff. Yay!
I finally practiced my drumming today. I can't do what I'm supposed to do, and I'm supposed to know it by Tuesday. I should probably go practice now rather than updating this thing, but, meh.
Ugh, and I need to research about China's economy and market for debate team - I need that for Wedsnesday. Oh joy.
That's alright though, since I loaded up on junk food when I went to Food Basics to apply for a job yesterday.
THE END.

Wow, I'm sort of pissed off right now. I had a nice, long update written out and was about to post it when my computer decided to be a bitch and freeze up on me. Computers are going to one day turn on us and kill us all, and I'll just sit there laughing at the irony of it all. Someone please, just shoot my computer.

I hardly ever update this. I'm just horrible at it. I mean, I've been doing a million things and I've found time to do everything... I need to update this more. I should tattoo it onto my hands that I should update my journal or something. Except I wouldn't really like to have that on my hands when I'm an old lady with a thousand cats.
Until then, I'll just enjoy my chicken noodle soup from Tim Hortons, thank you very much.

I tried out for Student Council at school. I wrote out a decent speech and I went up and presented it in front of everyone. I thought I did alright - and it really made me feel good when random people were coming up to me telling me how good my speech was and that they'd voted for me.
Of course, I didn't make Student Council. This one strange kid who compared hismelf to George Bush did, my friend from my old school, this girl who made up a speech on the spot that was alright, and that one other chick that I don't remember whatsoever. It really suck because me, this other girl who had a really good speech and I thoguht would for sure make it, and my other friend that is really wicked didn't make it. Oh well. Maybe next year.
I have homework. So I'm going to the mall.

DJ Sammy - Heaven |
] |
Today's September 11th. I remember when the Twin Towers were hit. It played on the news here for the longest time. I just remember when of my friends coming back to class after lunch and telling us all, and none of us believed her. Then our Science teacher told us. We just couldn't believe it. Nothing like that could be true. But then when I got home, I saw it playing over and over on the news... I just didn't understand how something horrible could have happened.
My aunt worked there. She and her family live in Manhattan. I thank God that she was running late for work and didn't make it in time to be up in her office, only to get hit by those two airplaned. She has two little kids - a boy and a girl. They're so young, and for them to grow up without a mother would have been horrible. God obviously had a reason for making her late, and that was it - for her to not leave her children and husband alone.
It's amazing how one thing can affect the world so much. It didn't only affect the suicide bombers and the families and people that were in the World Trade Centres. It affected the world on such a big scale. People have family and friends all over the world. I don't know what I would have done if my aunt had been there at the time and hadn't made it. I don't see her or her family all that much, but, I love them so much and they're simply family.
A lot of people love people that died on September 11th. That one day, those few hours, affected so many people in such a way that no one would ever believe. It's different when you hear about it on the radio or the TV and it didn't affect anyone you know. But when it affects - or comes close to affecting - someone you know, it affects you on a completely different scale.
I remember the while after it all happened. Everyone was realizing that their time on Earth could end at any given moment, and that it was the same for everyone else around them. They stopped taking things for granted, cherished each day and every moment as if it was their last. Loved ones got married, friends shared their love... So much good came from something so horrible.
I still can't believe that that happened so long ago. Though it made so much good, that didn't last for long. Most people slowly went back to their old lives. A part of them may have been changed, but, they don't show it as much as they used to. Then it sort of slipped to the back of their minds. It's sad that it took something so bad and so terrible to show people how precious the gift of life is.
And not too long after September 11th, the States and Britain went to war against Afghanistan. I remember praying for Christmas that there would be peace between those two countries. I wanted it so badly. I would see stories and reports about how horrible it was for everyone in those countries. And I just wanted it to end. I thoguht it was so pointless - killing innocent people from that country isn't going to bring back those who died in the Twin Towers, and get revenge on Osama Bin Laden.
The next year, I wanted clothes. I, like everyone else, am human. I let it slip to the back of my mind. I focused on other things and sort of let it fall back further and further into my mind. It's so hard to believe though, that so many people lost their lvies because of a sick, twisted man that had something against the President's father.
To everyone that lost someone in the attack of September 11th - if you need to talk, you know how to reach me. I'm so sorry to all of you, but you're so strong for making it through to today.
I'm crying right now. This might have something to do with it though.
Live each moment as if were your last; you never know when it will be.
-Jo

Eminem - The Real Slim Shady |
] |
I bought a tiara today at the Dollar Store. I've had it on all day. I just don't want to take it off. It makes me feel special and like a princess. It's fun. My parents think I'm crazy, but, what's new there? I asked my mum if I could wear it to school... She just said that they'd suspend me. Then again, she said that they'd suspend me if I wore my all of my bracelets. Speaking of bracelets, I bought another bracelet today. I think I have 108 now, but, I'm not sure. I probably lost a few, and added a few on... Whatever though. Details.
I sent in a poem to the Oakville Beaver. My dad said that I should do that. He was all, "Well, you never know what's going to happen. You've already been published once, so, that must mean you're doing something right. Just send in a poem to the Oakville Beaver - you've got nothing to lose. Besides, you never know who'll see it and like it. Maybe Celine Dion's manager will see it and then call you up to ask if you would sell it to him for Celine Dion for $2000. And then you'll say 'eh. How about 15% royalties?' It'll add up to quite a bit of money. Or maybe the Rolling Stones or a rock group will see it and then turn it into a song." I just sort of sat in the car giving him the weirdest look. I don't think he noticed or cared though. But, he's like that. And so am I - I got that from me. Which is pretty cool, I s'pose.
Take that, rewind it back. Ludacris got the flow to make yo booty go ______ !

Ashlee Simpson - Shadows |
] |
Oi, I've been neglecting my journal. I tend to do that a lot though... Anyways. I got accepted at ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) sweet_like_what and I joined another one about Ashlee Simpson (ashleesimpson) just 'case, lol.
So, I went to Sick Kids today to get X-rays and to see how bad my scoliosis got. Well, turns out that it did get a bit worse, BUT, I don't have to get a brace. This is because it's too late since I've basically stopped growing and whatnot. So, I'm really happy about that because I honestly did not want a brace and I would refuse to wear it.
Unfortunately, my braces aren't doing to well. I'm back on soft foods because it hurts to bite harder foods... Which really sucks. I went to eat a peach today, and it hurt so much to bite... So I tried to cut it up into pieces and eat that, but, it was too hard. I just started crying becasue we have no soft food in our house.
I did get a digital camera though, so, I'm really happy about that. I've been taking LOTS of pictures - mostly of randomness that looks cool and quite a few of myself. I'm very selective when it comes to pictures of me, so, I didn't end up saving too many, lol. I made a few icons of some of them though.
( It is moi! :) )
I got my schedule for high school today. I'm really happy since I got the classes I wanted when I wanted them - and I even got these 2 classes that I really wanted to get with my friend together with her. It's sort of strange, but, that's completely fine, lol.
Damn. My Internet's going slow. I hate Wireless sometimes...
Edit - I also applied for writtenbeauty... I wonder if joining so many communities can be bad for you...
Edit - I'm way too into the whole community thing. I also applied for too_hawt_four_u. *grins sheepishly* I hate the people there. They have serious problems.

___theplastics own like woah, OK?
So I applied there today. Hopefully I'll get in... And, yes. Shameless advertizing. Not that anyone reads my journal, but, still, lol. :)
I've become obsessed with Ashlee Simpson recently, and I don't know why. I guess it's because she seems to different from the other singers. She has this raspy voice, and I don't know, I just like it. Plus she writes her own songs, and I love it so much when singers do that - it means so much more. And she's pretty, lol.
But, yeah. I got her CD, and I've been listening to it non-stop. Oh well. I'm sure it'll pass. I'll probably be obsessed with some random singer soon anyways, lol.
Wow, I said lol way too many times in this entry. Meh.

Ashlee Simpson - Pieces of Me |

Oi. It's been the longest time since I've updated... I decided to just delete all of my old entries and start over - may as well. So, right now, I'm looking for some cool communities that I'm interested in. Great way to meet people, so, what the hey.
So it's been agood summer. Visited with family in Poland for July. Then I've just been hanging out with friends and all for the past little while.
I got braces - day after my birthday, which was a lovely birthday present, lol. They're alright, now that they've stopped hurting so much. And they're colourful, which is a major plus. ;)
That's it, I s'pose. I'm probably going to change my icons and make a new layout or something... May as well make everything pretty, after all. :)
