I have my own domain now, you can see the coming soon sigh at pure-truth.org, but other than that, there is nothing. My layout is done, I have 2 new fanlistings ready to run and someone really nice even installed my greymatter and the phpFanbase for me, so I'm ready for anything except my dad's firewall. I can't use the ftp, because it is not a program that the firewall authorizes to access internet, but what good is a ftp program if you can't get on internet
I'm gonna plug loads of people including the amazing board, OXYgen, because it's great as are a lot of you out there, so visit them.

Let me begin by saying Happy Birthday France as today is the day in 1789 when the French took the Bastille. So Hurray to them. That done, I'm getting a domain which will be post later but I am really excited even my parents aggreed to that and my cousin gave me a cheque for my success at school, she's a teacher, so it's important to them. I still have to do some pages for it.
I'm working at the library all week and the next one too. I was at the hospital and I was all alone and I was totally freaked out. I was hearing weird noises and I was alone. I hate to be alone in my house so imagine, in a hospital far away from everyone. I deciced to call my best friend, I had called her but I was getting her voicemail and we are working or volunteering so often, that it is hard to have the time to talk, but she was at home all alone to, so we talked a lot, I had to put her on hold to take a few calls but that was it. Then, that big man walked in, he was from the security and told me that a broke-in had happened last night and there had been some stealing as well. That was all for Saturday, then on Sunday, the old printer stopped, it wasn't printing the really important documents. I called the Computer Support and the guy, David, asked me if there was paper and if the printer was on ON, after saying yes both times, he decided to think about it and then, my big boss called, her boyfriend is the boss in the Computer dept. I felt guilty. Anyhoo, this has been a hard weekend, but I'm getting the hang of that job.
See you soon, hoping that my internet won't have more problems

I probably will be getting a domain this month and I'm really excited. But well, let's talk about right now. I've got a real job at the hospital. I'm still working at the library every Friday plus those two weaks, Monday to Friday. I was supposed to maybe work at the place where they sell uniforms for private school, but I'm going to refuse that, because I'm working too much I think. For instance, yesterday I began at 7:30 for my first day and worked until 3, then today, it was 7:00 until 3. I'm working the afternoon at the library tomorrow and from 4PM to midnight on Saturday and Sunday and I have the welcoming session at the hospital on Monday from 8AM till noon. Then I work from 7 o'clock till 3 for three days, library and then, I'm free for the week-end. It's crazy, I'm almost lost in all that. Plus, I'm working 1PM to 9PM everyday the next week, it's CRAZY. I wanted to have money, but now, I'm not sure that I will have the time or the energy to spend it. The library is at minimal wage at 7,30$/hour, but the hospital is around 15, but it's tiring, boring work. I work in the Archives which is like the library, but you never see any customers or anyone for that matter, plus I have to read medical notes that I usually don't understand, but it's good for my future I guess since I want to become a doctor.
So about that domain, it'll be a .org and the word Truth will be in the domain name. I still have to go to the bank to change my money into green bills since I have the Canadian ones. I'm buying from Nessa from Digital-Intentions, the 100 plan, I don't think I need so much place, but they are none smaller and most places there is even more room. I'll probably host my fanlistings, Carol Shields and I got Am�lie Nothomb approved. For anythingelse, I'll see. I'm looking for a recipes' website, so if you have one, either comment if Enetation is working or use the T-B. Actually, forget about that, I have Haloscan now, so have fun.
See you soon and don't forget to enjoy the sunshine outside or even the rain, it's so cool and puryfing.

Almost a week since my last blog, because we moved the computer because my dad is painting the room it was and it was connected to the internet. I did a couple of vectors and yes, I'm getting good at that. So, there is a new layout as you can see featuring a�vector by moi. It's Drew Barrymore in case you haven't figured that out. The name has changed too, it is now Truthful because for me, being truthful to myself is the most important thing of all. I think that Drew Barrymore did that and she's doing great now, that's why she's here. The navigation is at the right, very simple. I try to keep it simple, because I like that. The comments are acting weird, probably Enetation. I am still looking for affiliates, so think of me.
Offline has been great and less great. I was supposed to work in this hospital, but they forgot to call and then, I had some test and well, it's bizarre. Anyways, I still have my job of 5 hours per week at the library, but I need money because I have to buy clothes. Next year will be the first one in 12 that I don't have a uniform, so... Anyways, enough of that. It has been pretty hot here. But thank god for conditionned air, I wouldn't have survived withouth it. I'll blog later and fix some small bugs I forgot.
June 23th 2003
Shami has a new domain as do Valerie and Andrew. I should plug those who commented, but I'll do that tomorrow morning as I am supposed to sort the mess in my room. Oh well, I finished Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and I think you should buy it, because first, it's Harry Potter and secund, it's great. I'm thinking about a new layout and it should come soon as I'm now in vacation. Actually, I finished high school on Thursday and had my prom on Saturday and everything was great. Everyone was having fun and well, I'll probably do a small page here as well as one of my trip to London and Paris and other things. Since, I have more time, I'll turn this website and do something different, the way everything is organised. Maybe even a cam, who knows ? I'm looking for a few affiliates, so if you'd like to become one, email me. Well, I gotta go but you'll see more of me now, so be prepare.
June 15th 2003
Another short blog, but I'll plug some people.
Erin is back, Emily has a new layout, Adrianna too as do a lot of people Valerie,Vox and find out some in the links section. Tar, Jenn, Shami, Ilaria and Jetta are all back, go give them some love. Plugging is done, so did you celebrate your dad ? I did a bit. Last Sunday was my Mom's b-day but since she was working, her sisters were coming today to celebrate her along with my sister's godmother who was born on the same day. It was fun until two of my aunts disagreed on an invitation for my grandmother's 80's party. Everyone was screaming either claiming their point or trying to calm them down. Anyways, it wasn't that bad. I know how my hair is gonna look for my prom and my dress is gorgeous maybe a little too red, but it looks great with my skin. Anyways, I'm off to study some exciting physics. Wish me luck around 1 for my exam.
June 14th 2003
This will be a short one, because I have to study, I updated the links, the right now and the calendar is coming soon like in 30 minutes. I took a lot pictures those last days and I'm going to put some of them. I graduated Magna Cum Laude which means my average was more than 80, actually it was 89, but I'm happy. Some of my exams are done, only the hardest are the week, which means Maths, Physicis and Chemistry. I may blog tonight or tomorrow, but if not have a great weekend. I'll do a great new layout featuring either Genies en herbe or the last five years.
June 6th 2003
Last blog was long and this one will be short, because there won't be plugging.
I'm now sick for no reason at all. My throat is sore, I can't talk right, but I should feel better tomorrow. Last night was the Gala Meritas. My little sister came for the first time, but it sucked for me. They changed the Pastorale's animator and the prizes I'd have won well I didn't. Some of my friends did though so it wasn't as bad. My friend, Annie, won almost everything, but only finished third for the grade stuff with only around 95%. Me, on the other hand, is almost happy with a 87, so... Loads of my friends won something and I did too in a way. My team was the team of the year, but still... Afterwards, I went to try my prom dress, but it was too small at the breasts, so I'll have to wait 3 more days to have it. It's bright red and I love it, because I designed it a little bit. I wasn't at school today because of my throat, but we had our last physics class and the teacher talked about everyone. My partner, Anthony, said that he said that we spent more than half a year sitting aside from him. And then, everyone said immature stuff like OOH, Lovers. I may even had a great grade in Physics, which is better than my Chemistry, I almost fail this quarter and I don't understand why. Well, the year's almost finished and I can't wait for my prom. I'll update the calendar and everything tomorrow and maybe put a temporary layout. Not sure yet how it will work out. Comment if you wish, that's always nice.
June 3rd 2003
In 6 months, I will be officially an adult here in Quebec. I'm so excited because I've been waiting for a lifetime to do legally what I want. Minh is going to be 18 this summer, but she doesn't care because it's not going to change her life at all. Today, I really talked to Anthony about him and it was nice. It was during the Scientific Technics class also called TMS and the teacher said that we weren't in a good position and now, everyone thinks that I'm going out with him. I mean, it can't be worst than being his fuckfriend, right ? Today was also my last class of Genies en herbe, my hobby and my life for 5 years. It wasn't as sad as for the one in Drama, but my teacher was sad and we could all see it, he paid us all a trip to DQ and then, we just sat outside in the park and talk about those five years; we all so changed. This summer I may go with the boys to Metabetchouan, Lac-St-Jean, for a special tournament, but I'm not sure. I really want to go but at the same time, I know that sleeping in the same bedroom than a couple of drunk guys isn't my thing. So, I have to convinct another girl to go, maybe Annie, so we can share a room. Today was her last class of Drama and even after 15 minutes, she was still crying about it. Those 15 girls had loads of fun high or not and for them, it was sad except for one who was rejected and left quickly while the others were crying. I wished that it would have been the same in Genies en herbe.
Enough of today, this weekend was quiet. I went to my cousin's party for a 26th anniversary, volunteered at the hospital and slept. On Friday, I saw Jackie, a girl I hadn't seen since 1998 when I finished elementary school. I couldn't stay a long time with her, because Minh was waiting for me in Physics. Plus, the guy I went to my prom last year was there and I didn't want to talk to him.
High school is finishing, loads of exams are coming up, so you know what that means : Semi-Hiatus, I will blog some days, but wait until this summer and you'll see me on each day.
Website wise : No new layout, but I did a blend and saved a lot of pictures, cut some psds and actually drew the layout on a sheet during a Religion class, so maybe it will be up before some day. I'll add a cam if I find out how you're supposed to do it, any tips, email me. And now, I have to plug people. So be ready, to give some love to those great people from the tagboard, the guestbook and the comments or everyone I love now.

May is finishing which means that high school is at an end for me. I'm thinking of layout celebrating my 5 years of high school. This will be very emotionnal, I can't wait and at the same time, I don't want it to happen. I have only 10 days left of school, then a week or so of exams and then, it's over. But, I have loads of work to do. I haven't yet decided on little details for the prom. So, this will probably be less active and when I'll really come back around June 22nd, I'll probably change the name to something else, but I'll have to think.
I got a fanlisting approved for the writer Carol Shields, I was sure I wasn't going to be accepted or that it would take days, but only a fortnight and I had my answer. I'll do a quick layout and probably host it on envy.nu. The last week has been tiring, but it's worth it. It has been fun. Discovering new websites, so I'll have to update my links page, do not forget about the books club, it will start around the beginning of July, so if you want to join or do something, please email me. You can always IM at KarinAlyssa or try YIM at karinalyssa which is new. Again, I will postpone the plugging, because I'm too tired to find everyone's names and urls. Question : Should I add a cam ?
May 20th 2003
Today was my little sister Laurence's birthday, she turned 9 and was excited. So, I went to the tournament in a really small town called St-Jean-sur-le-Richelieu at Marcellin-Champagnat and we won. It was really emotionnal as it was the last one we could possibly win in my school's name. Everyone was hugging each other. I had a wonderful time with the guys from the trip. Lots of romance with another school, I saw the Matrix reloaded, although I never saw the first one. It was a good movie, but I almost fell asleep in the beginning because I had no idea who were the characters and it was boring, but when I knew Trinity, Neo, Morpheus and the others, it was an incredible movie. I have a couple of exams this week and the next one and maybe I'll do a layout for me, but it's hard. I think I'm having a layout block, I did a couple, but not for me, the last one is at Emily's T-S on The Donnas. I did 2 vectors which you can see there. One is J-LO and the other one, a cover girl from Fakin-It. More to come soon, I have to go to bed, plugs will be done tomorrow.
May 15th 2003
It is pretty late and as you know, I'm leaving today until Sunday because of a tournament, I want to change layout, but right now, I have no time for that, so just look at this one, because I want a beautiful one, hopefully without a PSD, but I don't know, I did a surprising good vector yesterday, so that could be my layout even it's Jennifer Lopez. Anyways, I surfed a little and I'm looking for information on Carol Shields and her book, Unless, so if you got any just click on the little doll. I'll be doing a bookclub, so except that soon, and it'd be great if some people would join and help me, by putting reviews and such, it would be for movies, tv shows, everything. Just comment if you're interested. Have a good weekend, everyone, I'll see you on Monday, since I'm off.
May 11th 2003
AS you have seen, I did come back, but had a couple of stuff at school. I missed some exams and I had to do them, so there went all my free time on weeknights. Like yesterday, I had a tournament and we won, YAY. That's 5 on 5 for me and my team that we win that tournament, the League's provincial which is like a State's tournament. It was held at my school which was fun. I had lots of fun and even with L, the guy I talked about. Of course, other stuff happened but I don't feel like talking about that now.
This weekend is the big tournament, so I won't be at home until next Monday. It's gonna be my last one and I hope it will be the best. Annie's play is on Friday and I'll probably go with Bridge.
I feel like plugging great people on the net that needs to be known, so there goes Emily, Erin, Zaria, Cici, Helen, Andrea, Vox, Teresa, Scott and I think that'd be all, this is time-consuming.
For this site, if you look closely you'll see that it's still the same layout, but it's longer and there is content on the left side. Just look it up, because I added a lot of content here and there and I'm workind on a flower layout, but I don't want tables, I really like iframes. So, I'll see you soon.
\EDIT\ I just changed the layout's image from png to jpg, because of bandwitch problems at Geocities, next layout's sliced /EDIT/
Avril 30th 2003
Real Post today !!! So about the romances. There were actually 3 girls and 4 guys in love with each other. The first girl was Me, the secund, Al and the third, me. The first guy was H, the secund Ar, the third Ma, and the fourth L. Just so you know Al and Me are from Pennsylvania and the rest are all from the same school/club. So, beginning with Al, she excited almost every guy but for H and Ar, she was THE Goddess, they were dreaming of her every day. Here comes trouble, H and Ar are best friends. The last night, Al is sure that H is in love with her and that Ar is only sweet, but then she realized that both of them love her. What does she do ? She told them that she was going to sleep with H, but because Ar loves her, she's not going to because she doesn't want to be a slut. Everybody goes to bed sadly.
End of Romance 1
The secund between Me and Ma is the same except that the other girl is in Montreal. Then you have L and me. I've known this guy for 4 years but I have never really talked to him and I had so much fun with him and Ma. Annie and Brigitte were sure that he was my new boyfriend. But in a weird way, he wasn't. He's not like Anthony, my supposed fuckfriend, who is nothing but a girl inside a guy's body. He was a real guy and I really like him. At a certain point, I was unsure of me. I decided to sleep in his bed with Ma just to be sure, but when he sleeps, the hotel could have caught on fire and he wouldn't know. So, no point in that action, although it was fun.
Avril 27th 2003
Those last 10 days were the greatest. For the first time, I was on a plane, went to Europe and had as much fun. London and Paris were great as were Oxford, Windsor, Canterbury, but not Stratford. This city is horrible, we call it Attrape-Touristes translating to Tourists-Catching. I took like 6 rolls, but the damn airport's system screw them all in Montreal, so only the first roll has actually some pictures on it. Happily, my best friend is gonna do a CD with the like 500 pictures she took there, so I'll post some of them.
What I prefer was the people I was with. We were 8 Grade11 (2 girls, 6 boys), 3 Grade10 (2 boys, 1 girl) and the Grade8 girl. And there was this other group from Pennsylvania, 16 seniors. We had fun. There were some romances which I'll write about later and there was this guy. /EDIT/ Stupid me, closed the computer \EDIT\
Avril 17th 2003
In London having fun, thank you Erin for the superb sign. I'll post it later
Avril 14th 2003
Those last days have been a dream. I was in Quebec City for the tournament and my team won, so it was great. We each won 500$. The sad thing was that we had to play against the other team from my school in semifinals, but luckily we won, so they finished third. Last year, we both made it to the final, but again my team won. It was great, we watched the really bad show Elimidate with the teacher who was with us and had loads of fun. Tomorrow, I'm going back to school, I have an Economics exam, which I hope will be easy as I haven't study that much. After, I have a couple of games. My team is currently #1 on our division and tomorrow we're playing the last ones in our division and we should finish 1.After, I have to type my journal for one of my class, fold everything and then, wednesday, I'll be off in Europe. I'm really excited. I'll upload pictures another time. I just heard that the next government in Quebec will be liberal and not pequist, we'll see what good they'll do to our province. This election is the last one before I can vote. Yayness and thank you Emily for doing that cool hiatus sign.
Avril 9th 2003
Wow, 3 days of blogging in a row !!! Anyways, just a quick blog to tell you that I'm putting on hiatus until Monday and then maybe until the 25th. As I'll be going on a tournament in Quebec City so wish me luck and have a good weekend

I fixed most of the pages I think, I may I forgotten some, but if you do see one, please tell me. My friend who has her domain was switching servers from PlugSocket to Cyberpixels, but her domain name, the one she had paid for, was sold to a reseller and she's now trying to have it back. It's a great name, I think, and it's really sad that she has to email that guy. Anyways, today was a good day. Nothing too stressful except that I stayed in school until 8PM to help for a tournament and I almost had fun. One of my guy friends just began to go out for the first time with a friend of my other friends, and now those boys just hate her for no reason at all. She's nice and all, but they can't accept I think that the nerd had the girl they were dreaming on, but that's none of my business. Thank you for the nice comments So, Leah, Erin and Angelica, for more info, just go to my links pages. Something amazing happened, Andreat from Tainted Realities just get hosted at Glitter-Punk and I'm really happy for her, I'm going to do her a little fansign tomorrow. I'm leaving next week for England and Paris, if you have any suggestions, please email me, that would be a great help. Have a good day.

If you looked, you would see a new layout. Friday night, well actually Saturday morning, I decided to put the new layout up. Well nothing's perfect as it seemed that I can't get my stylesheet to work at all, so I have to update each page which is a bummer. Well anyways, I don't have much time and I'm off to bed in 15 minutes. Thanks for the sweet tags which I'll plug in my next blog, maybe tomorrow afternnon.

Wow, what a day !!! I had a big headache Friday morning because the day before I had a training that lasted so long that I arrived around 10PM home. The fact that I was already pretty tired did the trick and so, yesterday I didn't go to school, but I updated this site a lot, surfed and posted on a great site UnRestricted. I was going to change the layout, but I'll do that tomorrow, the new one is my last celebrity I think, I want something else, something different. This was an OK week at school, I noticed that I was going to miss a lot of tests because I'll be away. I'm going next Thursday to Quebec for a tournament and I'm coming Sunday/Monday, so I'm going to miss 2 days of school. Then, I go to school on Tuesday, have some games in the evening. And then, get ready to fly to London. I'm leaving Montreal at 6PM for my trip; London, England and then Paris. I'm so excited !!! I'll do a page soon, but I was too long on the computer today. I found the perfect dress for me. It will be beautiful. A dressmaker will do it and I love it. I'll scan the picture so you can see it another time. I design it with her help, but she sketch it. I have some buttons for you to link me, so there you go link me... and tell me.
see the others at The Art.

Been 11 days since my last official update here, but that's not really what happened. I added a little bit of content in The Art about this website but of course it's not finished. I'm planning to add more interaction, but I already added some like Guess the actress and so on. But, I'm having a major problem, I used the NoEmbeD for blocking the ads out of my site, but they don't do anything right now, so sorry about the popups and all, but I have to add the long JS version to kill those ads. I'd do that this week as I have no exam.
Speaking of school, last week was weird. We were receiving the results to the tests we passed. In Chemistry, I had 75 around the average which is not really good. In Physics, I had 85 which is excellent considering I'm really bad in that subject. But Maths, I better not think of it. The exam was on vectors which I totally understand in Physics but I can't do anything in Maths. In French, we read a book about the beatniks and I had a great grade, 95. and that was it. I had a 3 days-week as I was sick on Monday and on vacation on Friday. It was short, but I wouldn't call it sweet. On Friday, I went shopping with Annie for our prom dresses. She found her dream dress at BCBG but it was 611$CAD a little higher than her budget so her mom and her has to discuss it. I went to her mouth surgeon and it's gonna cost like 1775$ to get her 4 wisdom tooth out of her mouth and all that in 40 minutes max. Don't you want to do that ??? She wants, but anyways. I didn't find any dress that I liked ;( but I'm going to have one made on me. I wanted to update this weekend the blog, but my father was angry after me and I couldn't get near internet and he closed it. So that was it. Do some contests, you could win !!!

That's been a long time since I last blogged. This week has been hectic like all the weeks. I had exams on Monday till today: French Grammar, Chemistry and Religion and next week, it's Maths and Physics. Plus, this week was the one I worked at Piacente, the place where everyone at my school has to buy their school clothes like half of Montreal's private schools' students. I'm selling and sometimes, it's fun and others, I want to kill either the parent or the kid or both. But, it's going great. Tomorrow is my last day unless I want to work during the summer or something, but I'm not sure I want to. Plus, I had a great surprise from Emily, this girl is so great !!! She sent me this sign for St-Patrick. I did a couple of new sections for you, contests and everything, but I just need the form to work without taking you to Outlook, so look out this weekend, you could win! I did also 2 layouts, but I think this one will stay until next weekend, since I don't have the time to change everything's names because I have an exam on Saturday for my English level at my future college and a tournament on Sunday afternoon. Hope you're going well.

The last week was something. I went back to school, learn that I should be studying all weekend for all those exams next week which is the only one and the first I would work nights (4 to 8 PM). So, this was great. I spent my Friday night at the E.R. of the hospital where my mom works and I volunteer, my mom thought I had a pneumonia or a bronchiotis. But I have neither, just a big bad cold who can't just go away. So, I have that cortison pump which can cause fungus and other great stuff in my mouth, if I forget to drink afterwards. On a brighter side, I'm getting closer to a friend which makes me happy as she will be in my class next year. Nothing exciting happened this week except that one guy at my school received a scholarship of 28,00$US which is like 50,000$Canadian, and this guy's parents are rich, so he was happy. Do I have to mention that he plays football ? My best friend had an offer for a scholarship of 9,000$ at another school, but she's not going, it would cost too much anyways. So, she's doing like a lot of girls the Sciences, lettres et Arts at College Andr�-Grasset next year. This is the Liberal Arts program where 90% of the class is female. And you're supposed to meet your husband in college !!! I learned that one of the guy in my team is thinking of going there. This guy is not the typical nerd, he doesn't study hours, but he's the best at my school. I learned also by one of my friends who graduated from my school, that my director was sacked by the board for his incompetency but we'll hear that he wanted to take a long vacation and that kind of stuff. He only arrived at my school four years ago and all the other directors were there for more than twenty years. Anyways, still there wainting for comments or something. It was Andrea's B-day, so be nice with her. Oh and I still

Great weekend, the surprise was a blast and Annie was happy as ever. She was surprised and she loved my gift. And we had fun at La Popessa an excellent Italian restaurant on St-Denis and not expensive at all. Her mom even paid for everyone's dessert in advance, so she was the greatest for having thought that.
I went back to school yesterday and I have those headaches !!! At the library, they think that I have a pneumonia (sp), because I keep coughing. But anyways, I'm doing great and I want you to think about war. My stupid Prime Minister said on ABC that the USA had already won the war as if war was the answer. I so want to be French at least their heads are listening to the population saying Fuck War or maybe even in Russia or Germany. Even Turkey had my applause when they said to the USA, don't get on my land. So, please support

Today was my exam and I had 13 on 15 and I have the lowest grade on the teams except the youngers. I'm so not able to memorize dates and people !!! Anyways, I was certain I was gonna fail so, yay me. Just visit the site of Scott and it's amazing, go visit him, he's great and he's from Quebec. So, go there. The surprise party is tomorrow, I hope it's gonna be fine. I bought Annie her gift, a CD of Yann Thiersen that she doesn't have yet called C'�tait ici in english, it was here. It seems good. For those of you who don't know him, it's the guy who did all the music for the movie Am�lie. Maybe I'm gonna see him when I go to Paris for Easter. I received my passport today and they did an error because I have 2 first names and they only put the first one.
Friday Five
1. What was the last song you heard?
That would be Yann Thiersen's Monochrome, his best according to me.
2. What were the last two movies you saw?
I saw yesterday Lost and Delirious a brilliant movie with Piper Perabo, Jessica Par� and Misha Burton realised by Lea Pool. It's not erotic, so don't read the critics, it's about 2 lesbians girls in a boarding school and you should see it. And this weekend, I went and saw Gangs of New-York, a great but violent movie.
3. What were the last three things you purchased?
Annie's gift, My dinner, I had to eat fast food, uck ;( and Bus tickets
4. What four things do you need to do this weekend?
Go to Annie's surprise, Call everyone to make sure they do not forget, Do all the homework I didn't do this week, Play the piano more often
5. Who are the last five people you talked to?
Isa, My Chinh, Belinda, Kevin and Paul
Nobody commented, feeling sad....

Bad person, I was supposed to blog yesterday, but I was too tired, so I went to bed early so I will be up to the challenge of shopping with Annie. This year is my prom. Although, I was the date of a friend last year, it doesn't count. I want to find the perfect dress :cute, original and maybe red or vintage. I don't know. We shopped from 10:30 till 1:30PM, but we were too tired and didn't go to the other places, but we'll go soon. I hope. My audition went ok, I don't know if I'll get the part, but that was a good experience, everyone was nice and I had a great time with Minh. We were walking in the Village which is the Gays' and Lesbians' neighborhood but we didn't know that, but there were a lot of flags like the one of one girl at my school, Elisabeth. We had quite a fun after going to a Tim Hortons and eating a donut far away from the cold. It was around minus 25 Celsius, so it was fucking cold. But today, it was different only minus 2, but it was snowing, but that's Quebec it's always like that.
The greatest thing hapenned for this site, I was named Blog of the Month at Digital-Talent, a website by Vox. I won that She's too sweet !! So go visit her. I talked to my friend, Annie, whose b-day is soon, about the fact that I had a blog and since she has a domain, she said that she could host me !! But I'm not too sure as this is kinda private and her blog too, so... But, she has to see it first which she will next week. when the surprise party will be passed. I did some vectors the other day, so please look at it and tell me how to improve. I know that the Avril Lavigne is ugly, but Drew Barrymore's correct. Go there to see it. Keep commenting, I like that.

Sunday, the holy day in the week. Even if I am catholic I don't go to a church every Sunday, so this day has a small meaning for me.
Lots of MSN earlier today. Last year I chatted with someone from Beyrouth, Lebanon, and this guy was an angel. I talked to some of his friends which gave my addy to their friends and I'm now a buddy to more than 20 guys from the same cybercaf� in Beyouth, but some are duplicate. Some are nice, and some are horny. When your nick is George is sex, I may accept you and then block you and that's what I do every week. In that kind of things, I downloaded Trillian today and I love it, although sometimes the different sounds scare me. But it's great.
As for the surprise party, it's going well. I learned that my best friend's mom had already prepared a surprise: seeing a play Saturday afternoon. So, she could bring her to La Popessa, the fave restaurant where everybody would be. But that's not sure. I'm thinking of buying her a book, since she's a book fan, but I don't know which one. Any idea, please tell me
For the site, today I added a commenting system from Enetation. It seems fun, so please comment ?
Tomorrow's my audition around 1:30PM, so think about me wishing me luck

I am officially on vacation for a week since 2:30 On Friday. YAY !!! I'm very excited as I'm planning to do a lot of stuff this week.
Monday: Audition
Tuesday : Shopping for my prom's dress
Wednesday and Thursday : Resting at home
Friday : Going to school for an exam, ugh
Well, I'm planning to write more, update this site, add more content, view a couple of movies and mostly throw a surprise party for my best friend, that's gonna be hard as hell. I was talking to her other friends and we are playing with different ideas. It's in one week exactly and I don't even know what I'm going to give her, but I'm sure I'll find something great, at least I hope I will.
Anyways, that last week has been great in school. I did my economics exam on Friday and I think it went well. The Beach Party was a blast and 2 guys seemed to be interested in me which is weird as usually no one is, but anyways. Lina was dancing with a bunch of us and every time, Philippe, her crush, was around she was esctasic (sp?), but even if she hates techno, she danced most of the evening with Fred and us(the girls). She was in the limbo contest and finished in the top 5. The 3rd one was Xavier, a giant of 6"1' and he managed to past under 2"3', it was great and everyone was cheering him even his girlfriend, Joelle, who won the contest. This couple is really bizarre. They are the story of Avril Lavigne's The Skater Boy the ballet girl and the skater. I don't know the title but it begins like thatShe was girl, He was a boy, Can't I make it anymore obvious Anyways, when this song went out, everyone was like that's so Joelle and Xavier. Philippe also named Mr Muscles by the animator finished second, I hate when people categorize others. This guy plays football and is damn good, but he's a brilliant writer and a great guy, but what can I say ??? It was a great night and everyone enjoyed themselves even those who didn't dance by choice or not. The day after, everyone was down and my Religion teacher who wears ugly violet shirts was trying to talk about Buddha although everyone was almost sleeping on his/her desk. And then, my French teacher was afraying us, saying that a lot of us had trouble in the essay. She gave it to us on Friday and at 89%, I think I have the best grade of my class and my text was pathetic, but I'm not gonna to judge her.
I went to the hospital and did a bit of volunteering and it was fun, we did nails and our removers weren't working so we spent 30 minutes to scrap the old nail polish. We had a new girl, Catherine who is 15, she seems nice, but shy. Sadly, one of everyone's favorite patients will be leaving for another home on Monday, so we did her nails and she was almost crying seeing how much we loved her. Then, I went to see Gangs of New York with Minh and it is a great movie. I have to disagree with Trish from IA because she says that Leonardo DiCaprio was the main actor and not Daniel Day-Lewis. DiCaprio is the story's center, but Day-Lewis is the one who makes the story goes somewhere. It's a great but sad movie and I find it very violent. I should get to bed.

Tomorrow's the big day. I'm supposed to be at many places tomorrow afternoon: The Stock Exchange meeting, my practice, my piano's lessons, my job's trainings and the most important The Beach Party or as I may call it the Bitch Party, so you see I had to cut some stuff, but it's going to be great. This beginning of week has been great. I had my maths and physics exam's results and I did great in physics since I don't understand much and maths, well I was impressed but I knew that I did great and my grade showed it. I didn't won the scholarship I applied for but my best friend did and also, one of her friends. I was happy for her, but that means responsability for her and Audrey. I have a economics exam on Friday and I hope I'll do good. Btw, I'm doing a Stock Exchange program where I have 100,000$ to invest in obligations and actions and such, it's kinda fun and I like it. Also, I noticed that I did pay taxes and I'll get my money back as I don't win enough to pay which is about 100$, I'm so happy. My trip in Scotland has been cancelled, so we're doing England and Paris instead. I'll be leaving on April 16th and returning 10 days from that. I don't know what I should bring and not bring and I don't even have the last evening to pack as I am not at home until 9 PM, but I'll manage.
Anyways, on the site, everything seems to be ok, the tagboard is working, the links I tried too, so everything seems ok. Next time, I'll give credits for the PSDS I used because I didn't cut them this time, so sorry for everyone.
Just had a call for my audition, it's on Monday and that's my first one, I don't think I'll win, but it's going to be fun, I hope.

/EDIT/ The Tagboard isn't working, anybody knows why ???? /EDIT/
Sorry for the lack of blogs but I have been quite busy and a little sick. My computer had troubles so I had to setup everything again. I put my Alicia Keys layout and I'm finishing another one right now, altough it's more a spring layout and in Quebec, we had a snowstorm, so no flowers for now. Hope you'll like or just comment I love comments on the tagboard or email me. I also added Nessa's domain and updated a button for
Lynnie aka Theresa, a great girl who helped me with layers and iframes and divs at my beginnings. Give her some love at her new named site, Anthem with a great serene layout. I know that one of my links on my layout isn't working, because I'm too lazy to do a page with my credits and the history of this site, but I'll do it soon, I promise. Also, The Art isn't in the same font as the others because I forgot it and then I couldn't remember which fonts I used and I wasn't on the same computer. So, sorry for everything.

Happy Valentines Day
February 12th2003
I have to blog today, yay. I did my new layout. I wanted to do a Valentine Day's layout but I don't celebrate VD because I don't have a boyfriend and my best friends don't either, so there's no point really. Plus, I think that it is too commercial nowadays and it's becoming like Christmas, so no. So, I did an Alicia Keys layout with div layers and I like it altough I wasn't sure about a red/orange/yellow one since I'm more navy or purple but anyways, I'll upload everything this weekend probably on Friday.
My life is boring right now. It's always school and that kind of things but I'm thinking about throwing a surprise party for my best friend, the thing is, I don't know all her friends and I know that some of them thinks I'm a preppy but I'm not, just because I don't smoke doesn't make me a prep, but they don't really know me though, so they judge. Second thing, I have never been to surprise party in my life, so it's gonna be hard, but her other friens, the artists ones, will probably organise it with me. I don't know. Another great news is that my theater teacher just called me to ask me to pass an audition for a radio show. I stopped the lessons in 2000 and she calls me now for that !!!! I was so happy, she made my day. It's for a radio show on Radio-Canada International in French and that's all I know and I'm really excited. Last night, with Minh, we talked 3 hours from 9 to midnight and I'm supposed to be up at 5 AM, so that was hard. But, I was proud because I never was a phone lover and talking that much time was great. More and more, I'm getting closer to her and I really like that. Still have to finish my chemistry lab report, so see ya and please go visit Andrea, she's amazing and go to my links page because there are some great sites there.

/EDIT/ Because of this incredible girl,Allyson from TopointB, my layout actually is working. YAY You should visit her for her great tutorials and her too cute layout.\EDIT\
And that's the Friday Five.
1. What did you have for breakfast this morning? If you didn't have breakfast, why not?
I didn't have breakfast this morning because my mother forgot to buy milk and I was almost late for my hairdresser, so I had a roll without milk, but with a little bit of orange juice.
2. What's your favorite cereal?
I love Mini-Wheats and those high fiber kinda sweet cereals
3. How often do you eat out? Do you want that to change?
Not really often, every so and so when I shop or go for a movie with Minh. I don't really want that to change, I mean fat is just too much and I tend to get to a dessert which I don't eat when I am at home.
4. What do you plan on having for dinner tonight? Got a recipe for that?
Already eaten, my parents are either sick or away and my brother and sister asked for a pizza and that's what we ate.
5. What's your favorite restaurant? Why?
Definetly, Tim Hortons because their Iced Cappucinos rock and their donuts mmmh I don't even want to think about it.
So, no new layout yet, but I didn't have the time, I'm thinking about a table layout even if I hate tables but iframes disgust me, so... School was bad, I had to miss Wednesday since I had a presentation on Thursday and I was far from finished, thank God, my parents understand and said that I was sick. But the worst was when I arrived on Thursday to do my presentation, the teacher realized that he had given me the wrong date, so I'm passing on the seventeenth. Another bad evening as I had to go at school on Wednesday for a Career and Professions Evening. I chose doctor and pharmacist and I realised that pharmacists do nothing of their days and that I have a homework on that due on Valentine's Day., But at least, it's not long. I had my chemistry exam on Monday, and it went really well, hoping for a 90%. On Thursday, I had a surprise test that didn't count on how good I am in politics and history and I finished third after the genius at my school and the school's president, so I was real happy. Also, I went to Christelle's house to finish our script of The Sound of Music retuned. It's a parody and it's funny as hell.I'm doing this with Anthony and Minh and next weekend, we're shooting at my place. I'll probably blog tomorrow as I have not too much work to do for school.

For the first time, in my life, I'm going to do the Friday Five.
1. As a child, who was your favorite superhero/heroine? Why?
I never really watched those kind of programs since my mom thought it would be bad for me. But I watched good shows like Sans famille. My hero was Remi who was doing shows and being poor found out that he had been kidnapped and that his biological family was rich. This a book by Hector Malot.
2. What was one thing you always wanted as a child but never got?
Um, I wanted to play and own the violin and the harp and the flute, but I happen to play the piano only and a little bit of flute as I own those two instruments.
3. What's the furthest from home you've been?
Miami, FL. Which is around 3 days of car, but in April, I'm going in Scotland, England and Paris, so I'm excited.
4. What's one thing you've always wanted to learn but haven't yet?
My own computer, I have to share the powerful one with my family, but maybe next year I'll buy one for me instead of the old one from 1998 that I own presently that my parents didn't know what to do with.
5. What are your plans for the weekend?
Tomorrow, I have a debate for a scholarship, I hope I'll win. And after, I've got a 25 minutes presentation on a Quebec's prime minister, Maurice Duplessis. He is considered the worse Quebec ever had. I have to do a powerpoint, a small document for the other students as my presentation is a class. And after, that I'm going to the movies. Hope friday will be here quickly enough without me failing anything.
I'm going to change layouts as soon as next Friday comes probably because I'll have time to do one correctly and it won't be an iframe, I'm so ashamed of it right now. I want to thanks the people who tagged me. It makes me smile. I received my report card and I only got 85% and last year, I had 91, so I'm disappointed and all because of physics, but how well, I'm going to be accepted at my first choice college anyways, so why bother ?

Been a long time since I last blogged. Hard week followed by an intensive study weekend, but I did work on my computer. I did my first good blend and I'm thinking for a new layout. This one isn't really good, plus I don't know where to put my content, so probably a table layout. I did one with Vin Diesel, but I don't think personnaly that he is cute, but my friend Marie says so. So maybe for Valentine's Day. I saw Pollock and I really liked it, maybe my next layout will feature some of his work, dunno yet. Anyways, I had some cliques, but I have to do the link on the splash page. Anyways, it's pretty late and I've got school tomorrow, so good night and if you have any suggestions, please tag I'm havig many problems with my stylesheet, it's not working at all, I have to do update every pages manually and it's tiring, if you have a solution, please help me and tell me if the shtml pages are really that good.

Sorry about not updating, but my parents are angry at me and I can't go as often on the internet since there is a password and I don't have it. So, I'm at school finishing a project with Minh and other girls in my class. I did a new layout tough this weekend and I'll upload it later. It features Claire Danes and my search for a prom dress. It's an iframe and that's the first time I did one, so I'm quite proud altough it doesn't look as I had wanted it. I didn't fail the physics exam, but it's still my lowest grade on my report card. I got 75.3% which is not bad. I have an exam in one hour on the UN, Charlemagne, States' capitals and Quebec politic and I'm so not ready. I have that big debate soon and I'm focusing on that. I went to see The Pianist and I definetly recommend it, it's a great movie and I saw the Golden Globes and many movies I'm waiting to see The Hours that I didn't know was so good. So anyways, gotta go studying and eating.
\Edit/I just uploaded the new layout but I can get the transparency right and some of my text is white altough it's supposed to be lilac as I put it in my style sheet, but I'm happy still. Any suggestions, email me. /Edit\

Physics exam today, I hope I didn't fail it. I'm still at school and I'll be there until at least 8 PM tonight. There is this stupid tournaments for grades 7 to 9 and since I need extra points, I have to come and help around. That's going to be fun tonight. Plus, I got a chemistry exam tomorrow so less time to study but I'm good in that at least. I looked at a movie on publicity that was filmed in the early 90s, the clothes weren't terrific and that's the least I can say, everyone in my class was laughing. It was too funny. But still, there was work to do, so we analyse that to learn how to do a good ad for jeans. I'm doing a parody of The Sound of Music and that's not because I don't like it, but just because we had to choose a subjet. I'm waiting for the shooting. See ya another day *singing* Another day */singing*

Today was a correct day. Annie, my best friend, explained to me a physics problem that I didn't understand at all but that I do now altough the teacher said it was too complicated to be put in an exam. My physics exam is tomorrow and after this blog, I'm studying. I had to go tutor my girl, Roxanne. But she has big problems and she doesn't want to be helped. So, I had to meet with her teacher and her orthopedagogist spelling checkand finally, she decided not to work with me today, so I worked with a boy I had last year, an angel, Philippe. But the girl besides me is tutoring Marko, another problem. He kept yelling Fuck off, I'm going to fuck you anally, I'll kill you, etc and he's in fourth grade. Anyways, he said fuck off to one of the supervisors, a teacher, and had to see the director. That was a hell of an afternoon. And then, working in the library, but nobody almost came, that was boring.

I didn't blog for a couple of reasons. First, I tried twice this week and the window closed in Geocities, so I decided not to do anything I was too mad against IE. Second, this has not been an easy week. I came back to school and all my teachers said This is the most important and difficult part of the year so yeah that was not easy. On Friday, I had my play Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf ? and it went great, my teacher loved it so yay, good grade. That was the best part of the week at school. Except that the old pervert who taught economics decided to retire early and we had to change teachers. Like if someone really thinks that he retires, he was fired but they won't admit for the sake of the school. I truly hate that teacher, so I was happy when I heard that he had been fired oh sorry that he had retire. But let's go on the sad news. I have a physics exam thursday and as usual I'm kinda lost in all this. Wednesday, I had a chemistry exam, which is on everything I have ever learned in chemistry, fun fun isn't it ? Plus, we started logs in maths and we had an exam next week and the best is I have a 25 minutes presentation on February 6th. But I have a big debate on the first, so I'l botch it.
Enough school stuff, the debate I have is about a scholarship that I could win if I am chosen. Altough, that's my first choice school, it doesn't matter. My parents will pay it if I don't win, but if I do, I could use the money for other stuff. My question is whether or not should we give more money to Africa and I have to search the pros and cons, if you have a suggestion, just email me. I want to do another layout and I'm working on it, but don't expect it for tomorrow. Anyways, I'll try to blog more often this week.

I am a t school waiting to eat and I'm really hungry but as my stupid private school can't do a lunchroom for all students: they don't have enough money right and those 2 to 3 grands my parents give you each year ??? to build a bigger one. Anyways, I wanted to talk to you about that movie. I'm one of the many people who saw it that cried. It's the story of a small village, Ste-Ad�le, in the nineteenth century in Quebec. S�raphin Poudrier is the mayor, the banker and the coffin maker. He is the richest man in the place. One day, Mr Laloge, who's too nice, needs money and asks S�raphin to lend him some. S�raphin says yes, if Donalda Laloge, the 15 years old daughter, marries him. Mr Laloge talked to Donalda who's in love with Alexis played by Roy Dupuis and probably pregnant too. She finally agrees for her father's sake. But, S�raphin may be the richest man, he lives like a poor man. He masturbates with his gold coin and many other things. Gotta go eating now

I saw S�raphin, un homme et son p�ch� and that was a great movie. I cry a little bit and since I'm going to school tomorrow, my mom wants me to sleep early. So, I'll tell you more about this fabulous movie tomorrow as I'm going to close the computer in a few seconds. But if you ever have the chance, see it altough I'm not sure you can see it outsied Quebec. Anyways, the great actors were Karine Vanasse, Roy Dupuis, and everyone was great especially C�line Bonnier and of course, Pierre Lebeau.
Good night and wish me luck for tomorrow, I'm going to school.
Guess what ?? And no, I didn't spend money. I was supposed to shop today, but lazy me had forgot to check in my agenda. It was written clearly Concert at the hospital at the same time as Annie's and I shopping, so I had to call Annie and we'll shop another time. So, when I arrived at HMR, the hospital, I was sad. But Sinath and Linda were already there as they had been doing nails for some of the old ladies there with Martine. And we talked and then, the musicians arrived. It was Martine's mother and uncle and they were great. The patients loved them and some even danced !!! That was the first time that they did that a Saturday and it was very touching. The musicians were great as I said. Singing folk and old tunes, but always putting their hearts into it. It has been a very popular activity but sadly, a couple of patients were sick, so they couldn't come.
In Montreal, today, there was a small snowstorm. I was waiting for my bus and my black hair became white from all the snow. As much as I love snow, I hate it when I'm standing at a streetcorner waiting for the bus. In the bus, I saw my high school looking lonely, but Monday it will be fill with students. I'm not longing to go, don't get the wrong idea. I just realize that I'm real close to a physics exam and that's the subjet. I better not think about that
So tomorrow, I'm gonna see S�raphin and I'm excited. Plus, I'll do a small shopping spree with Minh. Tomorrow, I will update my facts.
So, 2 days after January First, I think that 2003 should be a great year. I heard that George W Bush talking about peace in Iraq and that warmed my heart altough there's more chance of a war than anything, I still hope that he'll think as me and declare that he will not engage the United States of America and half the world in a war.
Another thing that makes me happy is the fact that my best friend, Annie, has come back from her cottage. I'm going shopping with her tomorrow. And there goes money down the drain. !!! lol I love her, don't get a wrong idea. She did a concert with two of our friends, Gabrielle and Isa, at the hospital where we both volunteer. And I'm going there tomorrow for another concert as well before spending money.
My other best friend, Minh, showed me a picture of an asian music group kida like BSB or N'SYNC. Their name is f4 Black, I think but I'm not sure. You know: cute, knowing how to dance and sing guys. And I'll post their picture. The one in white, Vic, is the cutest according to me, Minh, her cousin and her other friend. I can't wait to sunday when I'll hear their music. Here they are
Plus, I'm going to finally see S�raphin: un homme et son p�ch�, a movie made in Quebec with great actors, with Minh. We promised each other to see it together in November and now's the time. Many of my friends saw it and it's supposed to be sad but romantic. I hate romantic movies but Karine Vanasse and Roy Dupuy from La Femme Nikita are in it.
Hope you'll have a day as exciting as mine
Happy New Year everyone, hope you had fun last night. My parents decided not to celebrate this year and they went to bed around ten. But I decided to stay awake since Moll Flanders, a great book, was on TV and yesterday was the first time I watch the whole movie. And I cried, Robin Wright is a great actress altough I knew the end and everything, I was still surprised. So, if you want to cry and be surprised, rent it. When the movie finished, they gave Pretty Woman! I was so happy because that would be the third time I would not see the movie because I was really tired - it was past one - but I watched it all and now, I know why everyone thinks it's so great. I liked it but it was too much a fairytale and I hate fairytales they are too surreal to be true and they let you feel that it is possible altough it isn't by a long shot. So, now I'm going to celebrate New Year with my family and I hope you have everything that your heart desire, could that be wealth, health, success or anything, you'll have it.
Today was a really bad day. First, I was sicker than Sunday.
My sister had the flu and she gave it to me as her Christmas gift along
with a Christmas CD. So, I'm sick and I can't sleep at night because I
have to sneeze and blow my nose. That really sucks. But what sucks more
is that I was supposed to meet some of my friends to rehearse for our
play Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf but I couldn't talk to I had
to cancel. I'm playing Martha and I have to scream and sing and I think
it's a great part.
So, I decided to do my first blog here altough nobody will probaby read
it, but someone will read it one day, I hope. This website is not totally
finish, you can see that while you navigate but I'm planning on finishing
this site. But I do have a question, can someone help me with installing
a blog program as GreyMatter or MovableType but that doesn't need cgi
because I don't have it on a free server as I am right now. If you know,
put it in the tagboard or email me with your suggstions. Thanks in advance.
So, that's it for tonight. I'll see you all tomorrow.
