PROPOSAL OF POSSIBLE GRAD/END OF YEAR TRIP

Ponderosa Point Resort
At $147.50/night during May for a 6 person cabin (we can easily fit more in...right???) it's gonna be quite affordable. Plus there's Horseback Riding!!!!

This lodge is 5 minutes away from Penticton, which is close to Summerland, which is close to Kelowna, which is...well, you get the idea...WINE COUNTRY BABY! This year, the Spring Wine Festival is from May 5th to 8th so we won't have to rush out to hick town to moo at cows right after the Grad Banquet.

It's a 4 hour drive, and grocery stores are just five minutes away in Penticton, so we can just pick up food as we need (instead of buying up loads of groceries beforehand like we always do).

It's Lodging! So no pitching tents...slow grills...

Stephen says...

Also, the average North American garbage can eats better than 80% of the world.

Peter says...

just to add to viv's comment: education-wise, anyone who has a university degree is in the 99th percentile... so not only are we rich materialistically but we're rich with knowledge as well.

Joanne says...

Of course! A girl can never have enough boob-flattering undergarments, right?

vivienne says...

Food for thought:

Today during the sermon, my pastor brought up the following:

Do you think you're rich? Probably not, right? But let's look at the broad spectrum of 6. something billion people in the world:

if you earn $20,000 you are in the 90% percentile of wealth in the world
if you earn $ 30,000 you are in the 96% percentile
if you earn $50,000 you are in the 99% percentile.

Think about it.

Tim says...

"Your distinct personality, The White Knight, might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. Don Quixote was a White Knight as was Joan of Arc, the Lone Ranger and Crusader Rabbit. As a White Knight you expect nothing in return for your good deeds. You are one of the true "Givers" of the world. You are the anonymous philanthropist who shares your wealth, your time and your life with others. To give, is its own reward and as a White Knight you seek no other. On the positive side you are merciful, sympathetic, helpful, giving and heroic. On the negative side you may be impulsively decisive, sentimental and misdirected. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms."

Gordon says...

Joanne, are you asking for suggestions on what to get on your next shopping spree?

Joanne says...

Here's a stumper:

Is it possible to have a pushup bra that makes your boobs look perkier but NOT BIGGER?

Joanne says...

Thanks Karen! Glad to know I have somebody supporting me in this Cloutier business. And thanks to Joyce for agreeing that he has a cute butt (unless Pat posted that up, in which case...uhh...). He does indeed have a cute butt (I have found myself checking it out extensively during games and not even following the puck sometimes).

Exam schedules! Fun! Weeeee....

April 15th - CHEM 411
April 19th - PSYC 300A
April 20th - BIOC 403
April 21st - BIOC 404 (three in a row...sucks even more to be me!)
Afterwards: TORONTO! WEEEEEEE
April 29th - BPP Grad Banquet

vivienne says...

Once again, for the 4th time in a row, I'll miss my mom's birthday because STUPID UBC BOOKED MY FINAL ON THAT DAY! I HATE UBC! Grrrrr.....

Vivienne's Tentative Exam schedule

Psyc 300: April 19th, 19:00 2.5 hours
Bioc 403: April 20, 8:30 2.5 hours <-------this bites, Joanne, doesn't it? :p Two in a row...
Anat 391:April 22, 19:00 3 hours
Fnh 350: April 26, 19:00 2.5 hours

Tim says...

Btw, to the board administrators...I do actually check the links on the side

Stephen says...

Apart from Cloutier sucking, there are other things going on:

Friday, March 4^th at the GSS building (by Koerner's Pub), there is a live salsa band playing. The event starts at 9:00, at 9:30 salsa lessons begin for half an hour, then it's salsa until 12:00 (I think, not quite sure how late it goes). Tickets are $8 in advance, and $10 at the door. My Spanish prof plays bass in the band, so if anyone wants tickets, let me know!

Todos vengan y bailen salsa! - Everyone come and dance salsa!

Viva el "w00t", y muerte el "yar"!

Karen says...

joanne: no worries, you know i have your back on the cloutier business!! although i wouldn't worry about all them cloutier critics, all of this and yet he's still our number one goalie. yes, NUMBER ONE GOALIE. *muahahahaha*

Stephen says...

For once, on the subject of Cloutier, I agree with Joanne.
That really should not be in the news highlights as labelled...

I believe this because it is not fresh news, and doesn't really deserve "this just in" status.

Cloutiers monkey ass sucking dates back many years, and we should have dumped the lame-o a long time ago.

I feel it more appropriate to label it as "New Proof That Cloutier Sucks Monkey Ass - Vancouver residents not surprised". Perhaps if I was admin...

Joanne says...

I would like to contest the inclusion of "Cloutier sucks monkey ass" under the "news highlights" section. Who's running the board around here, huh??

Hmm...there is roughly 4 months before his wedding...what can I fracture that can heal within that time period...

Stephen says...

Heh heh.

I seem to have struck a nerve with Joanne, but let me expand upon the point I was making before:

It's not my fault that Cloutier SUCKS MONKEY ASS!!! It just so happens that I pointed it out.

w00t!

Tim says...

I wouldn't mind spending between 1500-2000 for a trip including the price for Steve's Wedding. So whatever is left over I guess lol....

Joanne says...

How much would you guys want to spend on our year-end/graduation trip???

I know some of us have been/will be travelling a lot this term, and plan on doing so in the summer (Stephen's wedding, Europe, and I hear talks of Japan...?) so wanted to get a consensus on if you guys just wanted a cheapo trip or wanted to splurge a little more because well, WE'RE GRADUATING BABY!!! Leave your thoughts, comments, etc. on the blog.

As for hockey..

- I'm tempted to just get rid of the entire SouthEast Division and move the Lightning to Halifax.
- Give Winnipeg its team back.
- And I don't think I would miss the Blue Jackets either.
- The Rangers' lack of performance for all that $$ is kinda irking me, so I think the team should disband and those players can just disperse to other teams. Might help alleviate this whole salary cap problem too.
- Make a team for Quebec City. French Canadian hockey players. YUM.

STEPHEN IS GETTING HIS ASS KICKED THE NEXT TIME I SEE HIM.

Stephen says...

Of Dropping Hockey Teams:

-Columbus: Nobody gives a shit about hockey in Ohio.
-Nashville: Why does Tennessee need a hockey team?
-Carolina: It's too hot to even make ice in North Carolina.

Teams that should be created/reinstated:

-Winnipeg: Obviously. Yeah, they sucked, but they were still Canadian.
-Saskatoon/Regina: Saskatchewan breeds more hockey players than any other province, people just don't like to admit that they're from there. If anyone deserves a team, they do... just don't call it the Roughriders.
-Quebec: Why the fuck does Nashville, Tennessee have a hockey team if Quebec doesn't?
-Hartford: Again, crappy team, yet at least they have snow in Hartford.
-Whitehorse: Truly a northern city if ever one existed. I know it's only a fantasy because their population's so small, but still... we should be bringing the game back to its roots.

SACK CLOUTIER!!! He only plays 60% of any given season, then gets injured and leaves us hanging! I've never seen a goalie get injured as often as Cloutier! He has a shitty temper and lets in bad goals because of it. Hedburg is a better goalie than Cloutier, he's just never had a chance to show it because they never give him any ice time. All they need to do is sack Cloutier, spend the off season whipping Hedburg into shape (like Calgary did with Kiprusoff), and he would kick ass!

That's all for now.

Joanne says...

Want to know when to hear the reverant (I prefer to call it ominous) Pomp and Circumstance again? Go here

Tim says...

Teams to drop
-Florida --> One team in Florida is enough, might as well be the Stanley Cup Champions
-Anaheim-->Low attendance, the loss of their star player are too much for this city too handle
-Buffalo-->Try naming three players on their team. Have had forever to rebuild with no success and when you try naming all 30 teams...possibly the one you'll miss.
-Phoenix --> What the hell is a hockey team doing in the middle of Arizona anyways?

Teams to add
-will update later

Karen says...

peter: i must say, the hemlock video is SO awesome. very, very cute. esp. loved the music and tim's starring role as exasperated friend/head-shaker/cowboy dancer.

Joanne says...

GARY BETTMAN SUCKS

and hell, so does Bob Goodenow

Hockey will come back...hockey will come back... but it should come back a changed game. Sigh, it's pretty unanimous that thirty teams is too many and there aren't teams where there should be. So my question is, Which NHL team(s) would you exterminate? What team(s) would you create? Is Dan Cloutier still living in Vancouver?

Joanne says...

If it was an extra arm or a leg or liver or heck, even a second penis, we won't be obsessing over it. It just so happens to be another body part - a body part with a brain. But really, it doesn't look like its body was going to develop anyway. So what were you gonna do with a just a head? It may be conscious and cognitively functional, but she would have lead a sad, incredibly frustrating and unfulfilling existence, which I think could have been even more cruel. Yes, it could be argued that by severing it and considering her a "parasite" we never even gave her a chance. Well, just try and imagine living life with only your head and neck.

vivienne says...

Hehhe....to me, Peter's expression looks rather quizzical...or slightly drunk. Your pick. XD

Gordon: actually, that two headed baby thing is rather sad. The other "parasitic" twin looked pretty well formed, except for the fact that it HAD NO BODY....it could blink and stuff too, and from the looks of it would've been a pretty cute baby O.O;;

Peter says...

just wanted to show off my charming good looks...

it's a video still from "hemlock 2005" - to get the full video, msg either me, gordon, or tim

Gordon says...

OMG..here is some creepiness for you guys... a TWO HEADED BABY!!!!

Would this be killing? What do YOU think? (haha..not a med question)..just curious

Joanne says...

Hmm, Joyce brings up a good point. Ok, need to do some reshuffling

Gary: Physics - Defying the laws of mechanics - how a tall stick does not fly away when winds are blowing at anything greater than 2km/hr.
Jason: Band - the jazz enthusiast can probably make the brass instruments feel more appreciated...plus he'll have a ready pool of gig bitches for when members of his group call in sick
Joyce: Orchestra - aka the provincially nonexaminable "Joshua Bell Appreciation 12" since the brass instruments will undoubtedly feel left out if they just had to appreciate a string instrument everyday
Leo: Dance - The annual Hawaiian Luau will become a beloved school tradition

An addendum to my crazy-ass proposal idea:
I can probably be the only girl in town who can claim my engagement ring "came from the bottom of his heart." Because it passed through his cardiac sphincter.

NeverGonnaGrowUp says...

p.s. who is going clubbing tomorrow?

NeverGonnaGrowUp says...

i thoroughly enjoyed your pix :D glad to see u guys had fun!!

Stephen says...

I'm a fan of the quote of the week. Fitting and disturbing in one tiny little package... you can take that any way you want.

Joyce says...

my hemlock pictures are up and fully captioned.

btw, what would Gary and Jason teach?

Joyce says...

My Hemlock Pics are up and fully captioned.

btw, what would Gary and Jason teach?

Pat says...

personally, i think leo should teach dance.

vivienne says...

Hehe...that list is actually TOO accurate...it's kinda scary. To add to that list, I would like to propose a course taught by myself and Leo: The art and physics of mahjongg tiling. XD

Karen: if you're drinking, I want the other 75% of Heineken's.

Karen says...

hahahahahahhahahahahahha. oh man, that's just too funny, and fitting.

it's been one of those days that do not end!! i feel like i've been doing everything like 20 times slower than usual. and i'm seeing no end in sight, not leaving the lab til at least 7 today. *waaahhhhh* and since lunch, which feels like days ago, i've been wishing for my 25% heineken (1.25% alcohol) cocktail. seriously. i'm starting to understand alcoholism...

Joanne says...

So Tim and I were discussing that if our group ran a school, who would teach what? Here's the preliminary shortlist:

Becca: Home Economics - Expect major competition between her and Patrick Tam in overzealous cooking
Benjamin: Chemistry - One unit would be titled "How to harness the power of nitrates to build explosives"
Chris: Information Technology - Except he would end up compiling strategies for "World of Warcraft"
Cindy: Math - Expect obsessive perfectionism when she's marking your proofs
Gordon: Math - He won't stop until 50% of his class gets 100% on the Math 12 Provincial
Joanne: Biology - Students would fail their BIO 12 Provincial because half the year was spent on the reproductive system
Joyce: Band - Every other piece taught would be exemplified by Joshua Bell's performance
Karen: Drama - She would have to teach that drunk...so a quarter can of Heineken every morning
Leo: Physics - He could just grow his hair a little longer, dye it white, and make a very uncanny Albert Einstein
Li Kai: History - With an unhealthy focus on the war tactics and weaponry
Patrick: Home Economics - Expect record high enrollment among hungry students
Peter: English - Every other piece of literary analysis would be compared to Bush's inappropriate involvement in Iraq
Stephen: Biology - Perhaps someone can actually make plants in BIO 11 interesting...
Tim: Physical Education - Poor little kids get traumatized by the competitve pressures
Vivienne: Art - Four lectures on anime eyes and ten lectures on anime hair alone

Joanne says...

Sorry, the link to "An Interesting Asspect of Hemlock 2005" was wrong. Here's the real one:

http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=2130657252

Gordon says...

Hey Hemlockers, here is my contribution to the photo gallery. ENJOY!

Joanne says...

The long wait has ended. Here they are, in all their captioned glory (yah, I don't like to take a lot of pictures, but I do have fantastic videos. Please msn me and I will gladly send them to you in .mov form - viewable with Quicktime).

Singleton's Hemlock Trip
An Interesting Asspect of Hemlock 2005

vivienne says...

I'm the first one to blog coming back from the lodging trip!!!! hahahaah....

(I'm actually typing this at the Metrotown futureshop....ano.....)

Stephen says...

I'm back! For those of you who didn't know (basically everybody except Li-Kai), we had no computer for the past week. The computer just kind of crapped out and wouldn't start. Since it was only 2 weeks old when this happened, it was probably due to a hardware defect. Nonetheless, we exchanged it and have an awesome computer once more!

"w00t" has returned! Death to "yar"! w00t.

Gordon says...

Hahaha... Karen, the fact that you have to say staright out that you AREN'T bitter..hehe..just makes it worse :P

But no worries, I think everyone going this weekend is actually....SINGLE.

Joanne says...

Walking past Luxe International on Burrard X Georgia, and I see these two guys looking at women's Prada wallets. Considering the date, I can only conjecture it's for their "special someone" (and I doubt it's their moms).

Am I jealous? Damn straight.

Yah, I'm not afraid to hide my bitterness....unlike someone here...*cough cough* hehe 8P

Tim says...

Wow Karen, your really desperate aren't you?

Karen says...

- the origin of the wedding ring -

so apparently, in the cavemen days, the males used to tie up the hands and feet of females that they've "claimed" (or "married") so that the females cannot be unfaithful. and then, when he feels that the female is more committed and they've been together longer, he ties a piece of string around her finger as a reminder.

interesting, no?

(btw, i'm sharing this story SO NOT because i'm bitter about valentine's day. 'cause you know, i'm SO NOT a bitter kinda person. in fact!...i intend to be perfectly happy and content this weekend and refuse to feel sad or mourn or mope in any way, shape or form. =P )

PS: look at the GORGEOUS weather today!!!

Tim says...

Peter: It's because Beaver's are very territorial. Oh and I never said I was an outcast because I was chinese. I was an outcast 'cause I didn't really go out much or hang out with many ppl. My days consisted of playing games on my computer :p

Peter says...

HAHAHA i LOVE the quote of the week!

tim: are you sure u were an outcast because u were chinese?

on a completely unrelated note: i read on a nature magazine today about how a new study found that beavers are inherently unable to interact with other species... *shrug*

Joanne says...

In honour of Valentine's day, some phobias:

Anuptophobia = fear of being single
Gymnophobia = fear of naked bodies
Pantheraphobia = fear of mother-in-law

Tim says...

Pfft, 10-20%...try a school that had an asian population of approx. 0.05%
What group did I fit into? I fit into no group. I was a loner throughout highschool

Unknown says...

uhhhh to clarify, when I said queens earlier, i meant hearts.... haha....
FYI: Taiwanese hearts VS Western hearts
Western Rules:
-first to 100 loses
-all trick cards are worth 1, except for queens of spades, which is worth 12
-can't play tricks on first round
-can't play tricks on lead until tricks 'broken in'
-collect all the tricks+queen of spades to shoot the moon and get everyone else to take +23(?)

Taiwanese Rules:
-Win by getting +1000, lose by getting -1000
-You can play tricks whenever you want, first round, unbroken in whatever goes
-All tricks are worth face value, 6 of hearts worth -6, 3 of hearts worth -3, face cards are worth: J for -20, Q for -30, K for -40, A for -50
-the bitch (Q of spades) is worth -100
-10 of clubs is x2 of whatever your score is for that round, or, if you have no points, +10
-J of diamonds (AKA the sheep) is worth +100
-Shoot the moon by getting all the hearts (tricks), and everybody's score for that round gets their sign reversed, i.e., if you got +65 that round, you end up with -65 that round, if you had -100 (that is, if someone else other than the person who shot the moon, got the bitch), rejoice, cuz your -100 just turned to +100
-If you collect all the possible cards worth anything that is, the tricks, the bitch, the sheep, the x2, you get +1000

yeap, fun times!! everyone should play taiwanese style!!

Gordon says...

yeah, probably Burnaby North that had a lot of Asians. Yeah, other Burnaby schools had a very small chinese population...maybe 15-20%?

Unknown says...

Hmmm... speaking of cliques, to clarify for myself, I wasn't really IN a asian group. So Vivienne you are only half right. Yeah our school doesn't have a huge asian population like some of the burnaby schools. I'd say mmmmmm..... 50%? instead of like 99% in burnaby south.... or is it north? doesn't matter...
My point is, I couldn't really fit in with the Taiwanese Crew, or the Chinese Crew for that matter, cuz I guess I've been in Canada for too long by then, and we just didn't click... I mean, the only asian movie star i knew was jacky chen... and they're talking about all these singers, soap opera acters/actresses.... And I was like.... ummmmm. righjt... that actress... yeah.... she's uhhh.... good in that uhhhh.... show..... yeah... that one..... oh yeah.... uhhh... she sings too yeah... right.....
So a few of us stuck-in-betweens (not quite in the Asian crews, and not quite with the in crowd of caucasians either) formed our own little CBC/banana/not cool enough to be in asian crew/dont want to bother with chinese singers actresses, crew....
And we played big two, and I taught them queens, taiwanese rules, and it was fun times...

Gordon says...

I read 2 rows of 4 rectangles with an exclamation mark at the end.

Happy New Year!

Tim says...

Haha Viv....good job :p

Yar, I can't 'read it' per se but I know what it says :p (I only know 2 of the words)
Funny, my sis has the exact same words on her msn....just in partial english translation

vivienne says...

For me...it's like...whoa...I can read it in mandarin AND cantonese. O.o;;

Joanne says...

whoa man

I could read what Pat wrote

Joyce says...

WANTED: pimple remedies

NeverGonnaGrowUp says...

joyce: totally understand the post-it note phase. in grade 8 i used to do that with my 2 best friends until one of them got jealous of the other and my mom made my hate my remaining best friend. i still kept all the neat little envelopes, love notes and even sea shells they collected for me...*runs off crying*

okay. another happier locker story.

in grade 11 and 12 i shared my locker with ... and he ...

hmm. i just suddenly realized that a lot of the people who used to be close to me, are still very much by my side now. isn't that a blessing :)

Pat says...

Happy New Year Guys!

新年快樂!
恭喜發財!

btw.. i like red pockets..

Joanne says...

I just realized that if you change Gordon's name to "Gordon da mah Jung," it would kind of go with the picture.

Let's see...sadly, I couldn't even qualify for one of the tables in the school cafeteria. I was one of those overachievers whose lunchtimes were spent
a) chairing meetings
b) arguing in meetings or
c) sleeping throught meetings
ALTHOUGH, once a week (like Joyce) I was in the Physics classroom, because that was where Science Council meetings were held (let the nerdiness prevail!) But I still managed to have four meals a day in school - one for each class.

Joyce says...

from a preppy west side high school, the cool asians don't dine at school cafeteria. hence, i was one of those nerdy asians and is in a subclique of nerdy taiwanese girls (sometimes we even have lunch in the physics classroom.)

vivienne says...

Following the Mean Girls hierarchy, I would be sitting RIGHT between the "cool Asians" table and the "nerdy Asians" table. 'cause that's pretty much where I am...a gooooood mix between the two. :p

Btw, the movie is not accurate. If you notice, the nerdy Asian table are playing UNO...in reality, they should be playing BIG TWO. Since Ben Lai was part of the "nerdy Asian" table back then...(don't deny Ben. I have proof), he can testify to this huge mistake.

Yep. The discrepancy was found after watching Mean Girls on an all-nighter.

Joanne says...

Speaking of high school hierarchy, cliques, and all that fun stuff...

(Think of Mean Girls or 10 Things I Hate About You) Which table would you have sat at during lunch?

vivienne says...

Joanne: (even though you're like, sitting next to me...) What's wrong with you?!!!!!???

Hmmm...locker stories...typical bashing people (usually Gr. 10 kids who couldn't get a top locker...mwahhaha...high school hierarchy rules) in the heads when they're getting their books...

Actually, I just kicked guys' butts back then. It's like they're asking for it sometimes.

I wanna go SKIING AT HEMLOCK!!! And we can also spend our Valentine's Day in misery together. We might as well bring wine and chocolates (and cheese, for those of us who prefer it)
and sulk.

Pat says...

hahah.. way to justify not being able to get a girlfriend there gordon.

Gordon says...

For those of us who are lonely this Valentine's day, maybe it's better that we are alone.

Joanne says...

Ok people (well, I think mainly the guys would be interested).

WHO'S UP FOR LAN DURING HEMLOCK????

Karen says...

i used to memorize ppl's locker combos. made things a lot easier for those emergency textbook, calculator, homework situations. yes, yes, what do you know...credit cards, birthdays, locker combos. =P most memorable locker story:

in grade 11, every friday, it became a ritual for me and some close friends to sit on our huge chem textbooks (because the floors are dirty...duh! =P haha) right at our lockers after school to have these weekly talks. and so, at the peak of teenage angst or massive self-centredness or whatever you wanna call it, we'd sit there and usually contemplate the meaning of life, friends, relationships, because, you know, we were just SO in the know at age 16. hahaha. fridays were early days so we'd sit there usually from 2 to about 4:30 going at this until we leave school. and these always turned out to be so depressing and bitter. *lol* it's funny now that i think of it but at the time, we thought we were being so reflective and just SO deep. hahaha. we called them 'fun fridays'.

oh the good ol' days. =)

Joyce says...

ah... locker stories eh..

my high school best friend, now a Mathie in Waterloo (yes, that's the one), and I started to share either one of our lockers since gr.10 because each year either of us would have some very annoying locker neighbours. The locker would be overstuffed in the winter (it was the 1st surge of puffy jackets). Closing the locker would require the right hand holding things in place and removing it with high velocity and the left hand would close the locker at the exact time of exit of the right hand. After slamming into my hands for a few time, i developed some stacking ability to maximize storage space and avoid avalanches.
We would leave each other Post-It notes regarding our whereabout, mood, lates gossip and cute guy sightings. The neat thing was, we wrote the notes that only us would understand. We didn't use Klingon or Elfish, but it was written with our own code/inside joke/weird logics. Sometimes the notes would be written in Visual Basic codes when we had been staying in the infotech classroom for too long. (ahh... already geeks by then)
There, that is my most memorable locker story back in high school.

bah... really don't want to start studying for biochem midterm. For procrastination, you gotta start early.

did anyone notice the news update recently?

Joanne says...

See? It's not just the girls who used to beat up boys.

Tim says...

Hmmm locker stories....

Well not very exciting but I remember when I was dating my ex she told me her locker combo so I snuck a single rose in there hanging meticulously on the coat hanger with a lame ass note.

Other unrelated locker story
-Used the grating as a 'grater' for an apple (a free locker....apple crud was still stuck there a year later)

My first fight:
In Gr. 12 was sitting in the school cafeteria minding my own business when a cookie hit me in the face. Mind you up to that point I had always been the quiet, shy, non-aggressive person who had no experience in picking a fight. At this point I was pretty pissed and I asked who threw the cookie. One kid raised both of his hands in the air and so I went up to him, shoved him around a couple times, threw him onto the table...put him into a headlock and then pulled him to the ground. When we were in the office, I learnt that apparently he was trying to throw it at some huge ass football player but instead hit me -_-'. Anyways, I got off free 'cause I had a clean record and he had to do some other crap as punishment :)

Joanne says...

I read the whole thing...I have an exam in less than 32 hours...

Hmm. My high school love adventures...or rather, locker adventures...
Well, in Burnaby South, since poor city planning meant major overpopulation, we got these "half lockers." So basically, full-sized pink lockers cut in half. In grade 8, I had the top locker, and this really tall guy had the bottom locker. And as fate would have it, we would always go to our lockers at the same time. One of four things would usually happen:
- I smack his forehead upon opening my locker door while he dialed his lock combo
- I would smack the back of his head upon closing my locker door while he was grabbing his books
- I would drop my water bottle on his head while I was retrieving MY books
- I would ask him what he thought of that French Honours (yes, I took honours French...I was a geek too...not surprisingly) assignment

Well, I never liked him, but just thought I would share that.

Peter says...

MAN this blog is hurting... someone post something... i know you al check it often cuz as soon as someone posts sumthing interesting 3 or 4 other posts follow within like 6 hours of each other. hmm... time to say something random. back in elementary school, i had this HUGE crush on this girl named christine. and she wasn't even hot. we were in grade 6 and she was this blond girl that had like crazy long wavy hair. (i was really into blondes back then and arguably still am) so anyway, this obsessive crush led me to like the first girl named "christine" in high school. and i did... she wasn't hot either... but she was cute in a real innocent type of way... so anyway, one day i sent her a love note by "a secret admirer" (lame i kno.. i was a geek, ok?) and tied the envelop too a string of a specific length, then i taped the string to the tope frame of her locker and then slipped the envelope through the crack at the top. if you're following me, that means that when she opens the locker, the envelope is hanging inside at eye level. so anyway, a few weeks later i couldn't stand it... she had to know it was me or else. so i did whut any introverted teenage boy would do..... i told my friend to tell her that i liked her : ) so anyway, at the end of that year, (grade 11) i was cleaning out my locker and i found a note there on the top shelf (evidently, she had no skill in delivering love letters to lockers) it was really old but it was from some secret admirer and basically said something to the effect of "i kno you but you don't know me" or sumthin stupid like that. anyway, i never got to finding out who that girl really was. ok i'm done now... if you actually read all that, you deserve a trophy... either that or u have an exam next week and ur just trying to put off more important things. ok bye now

Joyce says...

BAH
great. now the sun is out, just after me the stupid cap decided to cancel the practice.
darn you stupid vancouver weather. @$)*^&@)$*^&@)$*7

(note to self: need better weather response procedure..... )

darn

Stephen says...

They use our blood to make clone babies so that they can harvest their organs and sell them to wealthy oil tycoons for dinner... or so I'm told.

Assuming that each test is performed separately (but certain ones really can be done all at once), the Medical Lab technicians takes THIRTY TIMES more blood than they really need to.

What is the Health Care system doing with our blood?!?!?!?!

HAPPY GROUNDHOG'S DAY

I saw my shadow today...and then I didn't...don't know what to make of that...

Cindy: Considering how a lot of people usually have something to rant about *ahem* STEPHEN *ahem* you shouldn't have to apologize for your angry vent. Actually, I think everybody was just so surprised that you had that in you, hehe. Especially if it's a girl who busts your ankle. I think we should be able to ask Legacy Games to penalize the God Squad...if we have evidence...did anyone videotape it???

I'm curious as to who told nondiscreetly that you that were too famous...haha.

hey guys,

really sorry about my rant. my ankle aint hurting that bad no more...thanks for those who showed me they cared by messaging me online and being really nice to me recently! really appreciate it.

um, and as much as i enjoy being famous as the grad of the week, i have received one not so discreet personal complaint against me being too famous and such. is being famous a crime? (reminds me of jlo's lyrics from "play": "is that a crime?" oh ya, tweeny-bopper, right here)
