June 23rd: Went for a walk with Anthony. We didn�t really have a game plan or anything. He helped me wash the tarp that I used to wrap my body in for our music video (filmed april 12) so that was long overdue. Thank you Anthony. My tarp is very clean now. Then I went over to Mike�s house. I got to see him at a tae kwon doe practice. He ran and jumped over a pyramid of three kids then broke a board before he landed. Pretty spiffy. :D Then we rented �The Recruit� and went back to my house to watch it. Not the bad CIA film. Ooh chillllllllls.
June 24th: Mike helped me wash and vacuum my mom�s car. Haha we got our hands wet and made imprints on each others clothing in questionable places. :P:P Then we went to his house and washed his station wagon. We splashed suds at each other and made threats with the hose. But what started the predictable water fight was when he decided to pour the remainder of the contents of the soap and water bucket on me. My jeans and tank were thoroughly soaked. That�s when I started chasing him with the hose. Hey he had it coming. I stayed for dinner and we went out to buy some Mccain�s frozen cake. We ate over half of It right out of the pan while watching Raiders of the Lost ark. I love that movie.
June 25th: WEEE!!! Today I got to see Julia! It was so awesome! Right near the hotel she was staying at were filming signs :D:D:D they were filming in this really nice big blue house! Anyways we got to see Jules and look at her graduation photos. Then she gave me one of the photos of her in her cap and gown outfit. After that we went to the mall and ate dinner there. We bumped into some friends of hers in there. One in particular who isn�t really her friend but we all knew that he wanted to be. ;) The we went around places in the mall looking to get her ears pierced. This is rather humourous seeing that Tanya and I were with her when she first got her ears pierced (I think, there were no holes I know that but they might have closed up. But anyways) Since then she�s had 4 more piercings on each ear. And now she wants another one. :P Sadly it wasn�t meant to be. There was something wrong with each place we went to that would prevent her from getting another piercing. Then she bought us surprise bags and we did our traditional trade of items we wanted which were each others. I get to see her again in July when I go to Kelowna
June 26th: Today was the Last official day of school. YAY!!! It hasn�t hit me yet that it�s over. That�s most likely because the last 2 weeks of school were totally slack and then we had exams which was even more slack (then again I had to wash overhead rolls for 9 hours) so I think I got over school ending about a month ago already. Yay! I got my report card. I have a 86.3% average! WooT! Afterwards mike helped me drop off my keyboard. I�m lending it to Vincent for the summer seeing I don�t really use it that often. He�s borrowing my music binder for a week. � I miss it already. Afterwards Mike and I went to Skewers for lunch and then he took me home. I had the lovely chore of dusting and vacuuming waiting for me when I got home. Then we went to the Chiropractors. Good back crackage. :D:D
June 28th Made plans with Anthony for tonight to hang out. I was going to go to a festival with Amor and Elisa but I wasn�t feeling too well. I went to Anthony�s at around 7 and we decided to watch �Pumpkin� which was on TV. Whoa, what a weird movie. I still can�t make up my mind whether or not that was a drama or a comedy. Then we walked up to Columbia Market and got ourselves some ice cream and then walked around his neighbourhood for a bit. Then we went back to his place and started naming actresses and rating them for their �Hotness�. Heehee I play along for Anthony�s sake. He named his top five actresses. Eliza Dushku ROCKS!!!
June 30th I won a scholarship to a film program in Vancouver for the first two weeks of the summer. Today was my first day in the program. It was so cool! The film class at school was nothing compared to this. We had lazy bums in our class who only cared about passing and didn�t really care about film at all. Here there are people who actually want to work! People with ideas! And good ones at that! Except this one girl. She�s pretty psycho (no it�s not me) but yeah! We all sat around talking about our ideas and watched as our original ideas morphed into other ideas just by talking to each other and hearing other people�s opinions on your idea. We also got to watch past productions that came out of the program as well.
July 1st Canada Day! Mum went to Harrison Hot springs for the day. So Tanya and I were home alone. ? We came up with this theory that she left us forever. SHE LEFT US ALONE WITH NO KRAFT DINNER IN THE HOUSE!!! As well, she left no big burner working on the stove to make lots of food for our growing teenage bellies. Then at around noon Tanya and I walked over to where all the celebrating� was happening and we watched mike�s tae kwon doe demo. There was a tent for a Jewish community centre in the area and there were giving free samples of Challah bread and matzo! ? They also let people try on kippas. We bumped into Anthony and Carolyn and waited around with them until about 3 and then Mike drove Tanya and I home and stayed for a while. We watched �The Faculty� on my computer in the basement and then made dinner. Then we went with his dad and brother to see the fireworks at the park. The darn things started too early and the sun wasn�t completely done setting yet. And the fireworks themselves were pretty crappy ? there was no �real� finale. The ride home was more entertaining. There was bad traffic but with a radio and good humour we didn�t really mind. When we got home we found our mom there waiting for us. She didn�t abandon us after all!
July 2nd Today we went back to film school. Laara is in the program as well so we�ve been arranging rides there together. IN school we got into another sharing ideas discussion and I joined a group about a girl obsessed with obsessions. Hehe. It�ll be a great story. ? After school I went to mike�s house. Again we didn�t really have much of an agenda. Then I found a pack of cards. WEE he taught me how to play poker. And then he taught me how to play chess. Which was great because all I remembered was that the little horse thing does the loser �L� move. : P we ate ice cream sandwiches too. Then we played a game of chess and he talked me through the moves and strategies. WOOH I won! I won my first game of chess! I hope it�s not beginner�s luck or anything.
July 4th I woke up this morning at around 4:50 am. ? I couldn�t get back to sleep due to my ass-mar so at around 5:15 I woke up and remained awake for the remainder of the day. I checked my email and found out Joe wasn�t coming with us tonight to Joey Tomatoes to celebrate Anthony�s birthday (which is tomorrow) I got a ride to film school with Laara. From there we broke into our groups and began to write our 2nd drafts to our scripts. As well we had an acting workshop that day as well. Grrrr after lunch we had to storyboard. Blech, their s\storyboard sheets are so high-tech. The ones from school are like six squares and that�s it. ? hehe. After school we bussed home again. I missed the bus that took me up to my house and so I had to wait about half an hour until it came again even though it felt like an eternity. I invited Anthony over that evening to make up for not being able to go to Joey Tomatoes due to the lack of Joe�s presence. Anthony came up for dinner and then we went to the video store and rented a movie of his choice (it is his birthday) we rented the truth about Charlie. Then we came back to my house and watched it. The plot was really lacking but I liked the way the movie was filmed. It was like all hand held. I don�t think there was any use of a tripod in that movie while they filmed it. The only thing weird about it was the guy singing. That made no sense to me�
July 8th I got to school late this morning because I didn�t know whether or not I was getting a ride so I took the bus and got there a little late. We filmed some shots in someone�s house who wasn�t with the program but lived nearby. It was so funny! We just walked over to her house and the door was left unlocked so we went inside. The girl was still sleeping so we just filmed in her bathroom quietly so as not to wake her up. It was very interesting � After school while waiting for the bus Laara and I went looking for some sort of gift to give to SUPER JUNIOR ALLISON! Her birthday was last week so we were looking for a gift to give to her. We decided upon a split gift that will fill her days with much joy and laughter! The word is WATER_MELON!!! Yep . hey I asked what she wanted and she said be creative. SO she�s gonna get a watermelon for her birthday. And years from now when people stop and ask her what�s the strangest gift she�s ever received � she�s gonna say �Well, for my sixteenth birthday two friends of mine gave me a watermelon �� Afterwards I went for sushi with jomopo and mike (it was toonie Tuesday ) mmm sushi
July 9th Today was spent at school filming more. Then after school Laara and I bought a watermelon. On the bus I took out a pen and her and I signed the watermelon and decorated it a little bit. Then we went to Laara�s and wrapped the watermelon in newspaper until it was no longer visible and quite well packaged. Then her dad drove her and I up to Allison�s house. There we watched Sweet Home Alabama. Yee haw! I saw some Ludlum books on her shelf and I was frantically looking for �The Bourne Identity�. I found the bourne Ultimatum but no Identity ? it got to the point where her mom was frantically looking for it too because she knows she has it (everyone should have it, it�s a really good book.) Then after the movie we played s0me good party games. Ours was the last gift she opened up ? It wasn�t a soccer ball. She laughed when she saw the watermelon ? yay! I also gave her some tea bags � which I�ve been taking from church � mmm they are so good� London fruit and herb Company makes good herbal tea. After that we went over to the school nearby and played some games. We had to run up and down a field with a balloon in between our knees in order to win an UZI DART GUN!!! Oh YEAH ! guess who won it? Oh yeah �, c�est moi! Then I had to go home.
July 10th Spent today doing a bit of filming and editing as well. After school (ugh it feels so weird saying that in summer) I had anthony came over. We worked on scripts for a long time and edited some stuff
July 11th Tonight we had a screening of our final films at the school. OUrs was a hit I must say :P I have to go back on Monday to do some final editing touches. We lost a day of editing because of Canada Day. meh
July 12th Inn celebration of Anthony's birthday (which was a week ago) We went to a nice Italian restaurant in honour of a nice italian boy's brithday. Afterwards we went and rented "Van Wilder" and watched it at Adella's place.
July 14th I had to go back to the film school today (even though the program was over) to finish editing a bit. It took almost 2 hours to get there by bus. once I got there I was told that the editing program was uninstalled from the computer we were using. So I waited an hour and then decided to leave and come back tomorrow. I took the bus back and went to Mike's house afterwards. WE played badminton in his backyard (won by yours truely) and then I went back home. Later on in the evening we went to see T3 (which was better than I thought) and we saw Peter and Cali there so we sat with them.
July 15th Went back to film school and edited as much as possible. After that I took the bus back home and then did some gardening. Anthony called and we went for a walk. he bought me a slurpee in a colour changing cup (whicih I dropped ....so I got another one... ) Then we walked around for a bit. Around the school, the usual places just talking. then we went back to his house and looked at old yearbooks from our younger days in school. Then he went to put them away and came out with his little cousin. Omg was she cute. she wanted to meet me! :D
July 17th After Chiropractors I went to anthony's house. Elisa and Amor were there and Shakira was going to come later. Joe couldn't come because he had just gotten his wisdom teeth removed. We started watching Halloween H2O. I was really jumpy so the movie was freaking me out I don't know why. Anyways Shakira came and Amor hid behind this curtain thing that's behind the couch that shakira was going to sit on (there was no room on the other couch) so she sat beside me and we continued watching the movie, with amor behind the curtain. Shakira was unaware of her presence. Then...an intense part was coming...the music reaching a climax, amor creeps out and grabs shakira. Shakira simply turns around. I scream. Shakira's only response is "What the hell?" and I'm a nervous wreck. go figure.
July18th Angelique stopped by in the morning and gave me ANNETTE O'TOOLE"S autograph. Oh YEAH!!! then she had to go. Anthony came over and we worked on scripts. we came up with a temporary title for our script which now that I think about it sounds more like the name of a boat rather than a movie ... We went online and looked for interesting names for characters. It reminds me of the time when anthony was looking up names at a Baby Names website, and his sister walked in and worryingly said "UM...ANTHONY ... what are you doing????" haha. Then anthony had to go and I walked him partway. I had to go to angelique's and give her her wallet which she left at my house in the morning when she dropped off ANNETTE O'TOOLE'S AUTOGRAPH!!! OH YEAH!!! she gave me a brownie with peanut butter icing. yum! Then I walked down to Mike's house and then we walked up to my house. Betty was over and she was helping my mom cook steak. mmm then we watched Underseige.
July 19th Went over to Mike's house after Church. We watched phone booth (i love that movie). After we went and bought ourselves another cake and went to the park to eat it. We were so close to finishing it this time. then we went to 711 and bought 2 litres of chocolate milk, mmmm.
July 20th Tomorrow I'm off to Kelowna! today was spent packing myself silly. then mike and I went down to the boardwalk where some sort of festival was going on. we hung around on the rope playground at the end of the boardwalk for a while then came back and ate hot dogs.
