24th to the 2nd

Hello readers! sorry i havent posted in a while ive just been SO busy! wait till you hear all thats been going on! but i have my calendar right here so i doubt ill forget anything seeing how my calendar is like insanely updated, i mean the first thing i do after anything happens is write it on there :P im anal retentive sometimes you'll just have to deal.

Sunday 24
Well not much really happened i jsut cleaned my room and thats about it.

Monday 25
We had a math test. And in gym we started sockput!! you know that idiotic sport where you throw a heavy metal ball as far as you can?? Well i like killed my slef on it!!! its so heavy i could barely even lift it let alone THROW it! I also had a ortho appointment that we missed. its starting to become a habit and its very anoying!

Wednesday 27
Finally my band trip starts! After a huge argument the night before with my parentts about bringing my laptop i ended up winning only to decide myself that it would be better if i left it just incase i loose or break it, i mean the bus driver isnt the gentlest person with the lugage. So now i wake up at 6 so i can be at the school for 7am. i had to leave at 6:15. it was discusting. Once i get there we pack up the bus, well i should say buses. bus 1 was for lugage, bus 2 for instruments, and i was on bus 2. finally time to go at 7:30 we leave. and guess what?? i had forgotten to charge my zen so within half an hour of leaving ottawa it dies!!! i was like super now what for the next 4 hours?? I ended up playing on Schwa's I-pod touch. by the way i sat next to her the ride there.

So first stop is at Carelton place high school. now you may ask: Why would a middle school play for grade 9 to 12?? well the answer to that is simple. We are way better than they are even at this stage isnt that jst sad?? i mean my question is, how bad ARE THEY?? Now as you probably know the band Tour was basically practice for the trip. Unpacking should have taken 10 minutes which is like pro, but that is not what happened. See i guess everyone forgot everything they had learned becuse it ended up i had to start directing where precussion goes ( i play flute .... ) and then set it up cause no one else knew how! I mean everyone knows that timpany goes on the right side of the small precussion then the bells., then the basedrum then snair ... then bases.. i mean how hard is THAT!!?? Anyways first their choire sang they were good , i mean they actually had a chorale! and their bass and tenors were really good. Finally time to go. I packed up small precussion with Amy and then Voila we left, the rest was other's problems.

Seccond stop. Finally in toronto we go to the zoo. now you may say oh cool.,,., trust me it really isnt cause no one told us that it was going to RAIN ! so everything is wet and cold. Ick! everyone kept saying things wrong it was super funny. I mean emma kept saying hon, but i always heared hung... so i was like what is it about him?? and Schwa kept trying to describe the greenery and she kept saying it so funyly and making her sound like an idiot with a good vocabulary. Basically we jsut went to all the indoor stuff. then we went to the gift shop. and guess what THERE ARE UNICORNS!! i mean the zoo had a whole shelf of them so they have to exist! right? lol We did actually see tigers though.. and this really kick ass tree kangaroo... yeah im serious... it was SOO ADORABLE!!! Emma got me a stuffed owl for my birthday present (from the zoo gift shop) it was awesome! i mean its smallish white grey and black, and really soft and fuzzy with big brown eyes. totally Athena.

Third Stop, the mall.... oh yeah. How they came up with the idea to leave 60 kids aeround a mall in toronto i dont know but hey it was fun and only one person got in trouble. so that always a plus, and no it wasnt me, or emma. or kim for that matter. It was fun i ate teriaki for dinner and i ate it withj , gaspp, actually chopsticks and everyone was like AMAZED! it was soo funny. like yea i do know how to use them. it was nummy. thank you leah for introducing me to oriental food! then i got Orange juice. great mix i know but i jsut love that stuff!! ever since i went to florida 2 years ago, again with thank you leah! we went to a few stores. in total i got 3 emo hand things. A book. and....wow i ACTUALLY think thats it.... wooow....but i tried on lots of hats and dresses.. theres actually one at smart set that i absolutly love but it was too expensive though i showed my dad the pic and he said hed get it for me cause it was just so pretty... actually here ill just post the pic.

Cute right?? though i look messsed :P its strapless just btw,

So then Final stop the hotel. I shared a room with Emma, Schwa and Kim. I shared a bed with Emma. Now i tried to get internet on Schwas ipod. but it said found wifi but it REFUSED to connect. it was anoying. then lights out and it only took kim an hour to calm down enough for us to all Die. Long days suck.

Thursday 28

7 am..... worse time of day EVER. So we get up, and eat this HUGEbreakfast.. i hate breakfast, im sorry but im just not hungry before 10, but i ate... thank god or i would have passed out later. So we packed up the bus and headed off for Lord Lansdown Public school.... THEY FILMED HAIRSPRAY THERE!!!! i was on the set for hairspray!!! i walked on the same floor as john travolta GASP!! lol no im not some creepy fan crazed person just thought you ought to know. :P One thing about this school that was kind of funny. there were onlu 7 white kids... not trying to be racist but you have to admit thats pretty funny, i'd hate to go there, i'd feel so left out ALL THE TIME!! and its not like you can change that! lol poor kids. So we played it was really standard. We changed in their maze of a change room, and Seriously i have no clue how they get around that school its messed. i mean it makes merivale like a straight hallway comparetivly! and thats saying something! WE had cookies and then mr leohr laughed about my clothes, it wasnt very nice. I was wearing garage sweat pants with a white T- shirt with a navy dress over top, and then emo sleves. you know they really do need a name, i have no clue what to call them. so for now... ill just call then gloves but im not talking about the winter mittens k? and then gold skull earings. it was funny, cuse it was totally hot but he was like wow what a weird combo.

Then we went to the hockey hall of fame... do you realize how LAME that is?? i mean i hate watching it so why would i want to know its history? and we stayed there for like an hour. I basically did this like programme thingy that was so funny cause it was like you got to be the anouncer, and like talk over plays and stuff, it was so funny there was this one guy that was standing and the camera shook and then suddenly he was on the ground... you were like what happened? and then there was another one that there was a fan holding up a flag in front of like the whole play!! it was hilarious. then we played this like knowledge quiz and aquafina ( my team, basically me and kelsey) always won... we both dont know anything about hockey or its history, so we just chose things and na,mes that sounded funny, and we got like better than hockey lovers. we were like skill. then i passed out on the bench. Finally we could go, but NO it took like 10 minutes to get out of the gift shop, we were like how the hell big is this thing??? and the thing about this building was the roof!!! it was like insane architecture and like ALL glass. it was AWESOME! totally anabeth haven. Then we ate lunch at food court. and LEFT!

But heres the thing. None of us had any rain coats or umbrella's and it was POURING! good thing we found a indoor side walk. WE then walked to the CN tower. It wasnt all that amazing cause it was foggy so the only thing you could see was fog, Schwa evven danced on the glass floor, em was still too scared to do so much more than slide her feet on it... Then we had futuristic icecream, that was like freeze dried. It was insane!!! I LOVED IT! The sadly it started raining and we still had like an hour to blow before the buses got here. it was discusting out there, and yet the teacher decided we still had to have a big group photo in this random fish pond thing...... i really didnt get it, maybe it was supposed to be art or something but I just found it odd.

Squish squish, squeak, squish, drip, drip, drop, SPLASH! that was pretty much the whole hour. I mean we walked and walked my sweater is light pink, it was almost purple it was so dark, and it was heavy, and my hair was like dripping and my shoes... god my poor shoes. and then when we finally got to dry land mr leohr insisted we continue.... i was like WHY ON EARTH??? so then we got to more dry land and we painted with our clothes on the cement wall. HA. i actually have pictures :P we continued walkinng now just 100% given up on staying dry. WE stopped quickly at the hotel and i changed, and then tried blow drying my shoes but they were still wet after all that :( Then we went to Medival times!

Now it would have been great if i would have been dry but it was still a blast. we started out by jsut hanging around mr loehr was knighted and later i looked over and he was trying to drink but kept missing his straw it was hilarious. we looked at the horses and talked with the executioner who tried chopping Katya's head off but the king walked in and like had a fit., it was sooo funny. katya was having a laughing attack. brendan had a staring contest with him but he won, sreiously it went on for like 20 minutes. And my god the blue team was soo anoying! i mean they were frm ottawa too so we said hi and wanna know their response..... we're better than you, like gee nice rich snobby school you come from! ught they pissed me off so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so once the show actually started and they were anouncing the knights. yellow knight ( our team) like was spazztic cheering. and the rest were like quiet. and then like then they anounced blue and all you hear is us booing. Schwa leans over to me and wispers. hey i guess they met the snobs too :P We ate and cheered and ive got to say we were the loudest by FAR! and the blue team had their whole school and we just had gr8 band..... like seriously a quarter of the full population. seriously though at one point i was ytelling do loudly the enire blue team was glaring at me so i just turned and blew them a kiss, that got the really angry except for this one goth chick she laughed and gave me a thumbs up, The yellow knight had thrown me a flower cause i was so loud except Arian stole it, the bitch. jk jk. but seriously it was awesoem. and the yellow knight ended up winning. Sadly much to my demise, we had to eat with our fingers.

After we finished with the ceremony there was this waiter where the executioner used to be ( it was the same guy) but he claimed up and down that the reason they looked so similar was cause they were cousins, and when i brought up the fact that they had the same haircut he said that it was because their uncle had cut it. mmhmm suuure. Any ways "cousin of executioner" 's name was Daniel. he was awesome and gave me a hug. seriously everytime we weren't doing anything we were standing there talking to the peoples who worked there... and when i say we i mean me and schwa. But mostly we just talked to DAniel. he was sick!!! but sadly when autograph time came i only got the intro person and the yellow kight and the executioner/ daniel didnt have a pen :( o well i have pics.... on schwa's camera, she said she'd send me the pics. im counting on that.

btw i ran out of memory on my camera at the CN tower... so i plan on updating all the pics i took with my friends camera's as soon as i get them... that or i'll post the link to the facebook picture album. btw on FB i use the account name Jennifer Labelle. Thats not my real name but thats what i use. :P

Friday 29

Bye bye schwa !!! sadly schwa had her preformance of the little mermaid the musical to do back in ottawa so she had to leave in the morning. We ate breakfast. and then it was time to go we seriously walked her to the door all the while holding onto her arms. i laughed it was super hilarious. Then we were off to wonderland... my hair was a mess so i just didnt bother to straighten it. Also my shoes and sweater were still sopping wet so i wore no sweater and flip flops... thank god it was actually warm and sunny that day! Now it's wonderland you don't need a huge discription. but i will tell you about little like inside things... like at first i was in a group with all my friends but then they insisted with fusing it together with this really bitchy group. so me emma and katie switched into Megan's group. Now at the time we didnt realize that that group doesnt like rides. Now we did go on the rides actually we went on almost every ride except for the dropping ride and the sledgehammer.... so in words yes i did go on the bohemoth and compared to dudlee do right and the hulk in florida it was NOTHING! well.... not NOTHING but pretty flippin' close! Megan's dad was the shaperon for our group and he kept like talking to me about Justin and i didnt really know what to say cause the first thing he asked was so which side of jsutins family are you on?,.... umm let me think... NONE.. i answered that i wasnt family.... so then... you know here

MD: but i saw him hugging you.... so how do you know each other?
J: Well, we 're going out...
MD: ahh thats very.... hmm... well you are being responsible right?
J: *cough choke cough* WHAT??
MD: Well you're so young.. i mean you arent using tongue or anything.
J: mmmmmmmmmmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm RIIIIIIIGGGHHHTT......

walk away cause of a huge awkward silence... and thats pretty much the whole day with her dad. but besides that and the groups constant complaining that they didnt feel like going on the rides. it was fun. At the end it started raining but it was kind of nice cause it was so warm... and OH this was sooo funny! at the end we went on this ride dragon Fire... no one was there so me and Emma aand Katie got the whole roller coaster to ourselves, and they were like you have to scream really loud so that you bring peoples. So seriously 3 teenage girls shreiked as loud as they could for the entire ride.. when we pulled in at the end the place was full. :D YA BABY!!! and thomas M was there and he was like laughing and Andrew P. just gave us a thumbs up, it was hilarious.

Oops I forgot that half way through we played a concert and it was pretty lame cause we had to watch the show before and after us. and we got a C!!!! i know!!! but atleast Josh didnt mess up this time. and we were competing against high school bands. STILL! C!!!! But during the waiting part i look over and mr leohr is poking his cheek with the conducting stick, it was funny, and when i mentioned it after he threatened to make fun of me because he had the mic on stage!!! omg i'd have died!

Back at the hotel Eric got something in his eye so it was all big. and It was finally my day for shower. So I c;leaned up my stuff, packed up my bag, called justin cause it was our 2 month anniversary mark, and then i took my shower. When i got out everyone was in the halls, so i got out and saw there were cookies!! YAY! and so It was cool, then we had to go to our rooms, and Emma went in the shower... all the shaperones including Mr Leohr was gathered around our door.... so well me and kim kind of.. well spyed on them through the peep holes in the door and the crack to listen. The night before there had been a big scandal:
someone had called mr leohr's phone crying and it was an ottawa number so he got kind of worried. so he had to check all of the rooms to make sure we were all there. And then again and again... till they foun out it was a wrong number. but in the mean time, we all got very worried and it was late so we were tired, and every 5 minutes there would be someone knocking on our door, it just got to the point where when someone knocked we jsut yelled " ITS NOT US!!" the shaperones just laughed and were like we've already been her? Like no shit sherlock!
So we decided that maybe something else was going on, sadly the most interesting thing was that there was loud noises from the room accross so they had to make sure they had actually gone to bed.

Saturday 30

Last day!!
Again with the big breakfast this time though i drank coffee cause i was soo tired, it was actually really good. french vanilla :P YUM. this morning we had a clinic with Colin Clarke ( basically the comedian of the music world ) apparently ceadarview had gotten the same guy, but i only found that out sunday. So fun fun early morning clinic, but the high light of it all is this is the loast time we are going to play these songs as a band so there is really no reason to improve upon it now! but no we had to. It ended up being really fun and because he was late i got 20 more minutes of sleep on the bench next to where we were playing, i felt like such a hobo though, i mean i was sleeping on a bench. Then as soon as we got here there was this big problems with flutes and chairs, and then we found out that it was all the clarinet's fault because they had skipped a chair wich screwed up the seating!. WE played and the warm up was really fun cause it was like 30 minutes long of just rounds woth scales and difrent beats and stuff. It was hard, but fun. then we played, and he called me a loser cause i came in early, like its not MY fault he queued us!!! i was just the only one that noticed cause i look up while i play cause i've almost memorized all the songs.

More bus, then to the science museum, i was thinking jsut LAME! the whole time, but once we were there it was actually pretty cool. I mean there was lots of interesting stuff, though i didnt want a baby before now!!!! ICK EWWWWW!!!!!!! it looks like aliens are exploding inside you!!! The way your mind works is cool ( i meant the way your mind works the category in the museum) there were lots of like tests and hands on stuff. the sports thing was hard, though i won almost every time against em, except for that one wheel chair race, but i only lost my like 0.5 seconds. also i really wanted to go see their space section so we went.... but the big ... ughj i cant remember the word... the room where you look up at the stars and like its like being outside but like PERFECTLY clear. like at my cottage... well anyways that room was closed when we went but it was still kool. and on the way out we got to see old rock going back BILLIONs of years!

I sat Next to Emma on the way home. We watched grease and get smart. the only thing i can remember from both ( that time ) is the quote " Her sister's such a bitch.." when the big dude is crying in get smart.... i was like half asleep for the rest

Then we get home! first we unpack, and stuff, and we do speaches, thank you, yup great trip. parents pick us up etc etc. My mom drives me to her place i pick up my laptop and then off to dads. There i tell him all about it though in way less detail i was tired. I talked on msn with Justin for a while, then i passed out.

Sunday 31

seriously i can't even die that day!!! i was going to see star trek with Jsutin jeremy and patrick.... wow for a sec i jsut forgot pat's name :P
It was a slow morning but then i had to run to moms get my purse and then run back to my bus stop. i didnt miss it thaknk god. so i was a bit late, but then Justin and Jeremy got there, soon after either hung got there or we just walked in... and then Pat was there and it was all O HI !! OMG!! i forgot hung in the beginning GRR! Anyways. we got our tickets. and watched the movie, and yes this time we actually did watch some of the movie lol. though kissing was involved seeing how im not gonna be able to see him for... 2 weeks. I told him i loved him, and i do! and HE SAID IT BACK!. it took all my mental stength not to jump up and dance in the middle of the theater i was so happy :D!! lol wouldnt that have been interesting?

Then we hung out at walmart after stoppng at pizza pizza, and then DQ ( i got onion rings LOVE those things ) Jeremy got stalked by some fat chick in a blue sweater. lol, then we were kicked out of the garden center cause James wasn't there, I liked him better :( o well, then we bought an insane amount of pop for no reason. I got 2 bottles cause i paid more... like 3 $ or something.... it was interesting... i called my dad and he came to pick me up shortly after everyone had already left. then we headed off to the musical.... seriously the traffic was so bad i missed human stuff which sucks, but hey i was there for the rest. NOW omg. i have so much about this....

Basically it was totally, totally.... well POSITOOBITY!!!!!! it was AWEOSME!! i sang along ( well as best i could with a sore throat ) and i danced too.. it was soo funny though cause at one point during positoobity Alex ( king triton )was looking at us weird ( kelsey emma and me ) and after was like umm why do you knwo the dance? SCHWA!!! :P then he laughed. Okay now schwa had taught me about stage kissing, but i had never seen it done before so at the end at the big kiss scene i was looking REALLY hard....... but to me it just looked like a real kiss... now i later found out today. that It really WAS a real kiss. Duncan ( prince Eric ) had asked out Kelsey R ( Ariel ) right before the 5:00 show! So he actually kissed her infront of his parents and a whole audience... imagine how cool that would be!!!! GASP! another dramatic thing that happened was that Cora ( gull #3) got a nose bleed in the show because mathieu ( some random bad dancing turtle ) slapped her across the face. And that they found out that the guy who plays grimsby ( john) is gay!!! it was awesome, apparently all the guys had already met his boyfriend. but they girls only found out now.... :P ANOTHER thing was that schwa had to use a big fork for the dingle hopper so when she threw it and tried to catch it she stabbed herself. I foget who but at some point in positoobity when they role the rock off stage they rolled it over some girls hand and it was like bleeding so they had to fix that. And the big eal lost her voice soo it made it hard to sing. They got an opera singer to sing Duncan's part cause he cant! Another thing! during this one song when the rock is half off stage half on Mathieu lays on it and the only thing keeping him from tipping the rock over is the eals sitting on the other end!! dramatic!

Dont you love all the drama that goes on during plays :P! LOVE IT! Theresa was awesome! she played ursala! and it was sweet!! Oh and btw whover wants to know Schwa played scutle, and Elena ( schwa's sis ) played flounder. OH and one of the mersisters was sick so she wasnt there. so they had to cover her part. and at one point the girl who plays sabastian forgot her lines the the reprise of under the sea. so they were practicing behind stage right before the show. and i just realized now but shes (sabastian girl ) isnt in the blue sheet listing all the actors so i cant even look it up! i think it might be malory ill have to ask schwa.. still, it was awesome.

Monday 1

wow i actually have to go to school discusting! it wasnt all that bad though. at one point mrs van dusen said something, and i started talking about sue my boss at tagger wear and she was like OH im getting my bathing suit from there..... this place is small and usually for sincro teams how mme managed to find it i dont know but wow small world. Schwa was absent that day. oh and i found out i can't go to the montreal trip cause GRR!! i just cant.

Tuesday 2

finally at today this has been long i know but i am now 100% caught up.....i had a geo test today. Tomorrow i have an ortho appointment I WILL NOT miss it!!! and im staying home from school cause everyone is going to be gone on the carelton trip. Also if i dont clean my room my mom is taking my laptop away so guess what? im cleaning and i have to finish my science notes and possibly questions for the english section of the jeopardy game...... Oh.... and work on my english report.. and possibly do that post for theories. but i'll defenetly post my calendar so you can know ahead of time whats up with moi.
