Weeee snooooow! So much snow... 8 inches! =D =D =D I'm such a dork, god, I just went outside in these bright yellow boots that are WAY too small for me and measured the snow with my mom's quilting measure thing... lol Well, today I was supposed to go to Brad's house with some people... but I have a feeling none of us are going anywhere.... My mom doesn't want to drive me anywhere and I have a feeling that no one else will be willing to driv either... Great... That means I'll be forced into helping clean the house (it's clean, yet for some reason it needs to be spotless) and study for exams which I plan to fail anyways... To make things even better, the power keeps going out because of this damn snow... Last night it was on and off a lot, this morning it's not so bad, it's only cut off once and went right back on... Oh well, it's worth it... I have snoooow! And there's no school tomorrow because of the strike... So I can go be a 4 year old and play in the snooooooooooooooow............

Sooo... last night was the show. The show I've been waiting weeks to see. Mmmm... and it was so good. The Desents are really good, that's only my second time seeing them but yeah... wow... And I got the drum stick they threw... haha boys are suckers. The Crusties were the same as always, Ken being an ass, and Dave being in love with himself... *sigh* they're so great... "Cigarette tiiiiiiiime". Undergo had talent, but I didn't like their stlye... (my first time seeing them). Plays Well With Others (now, Sunset Over Brodway) were awesome. Of course they were though, I love their attitude towards the music and all that shit... =) One Good Word... Oh yeah... Must I even say why I love these guys? They're everything I like in a band and so much more.... Mmmmmm... okay time to shut up about the music. Alright, Friday, after school, I go where I always go... (no no, not gabe) Travis's. We hung around there for about an hour, taking christmas shit down to the basment and poking around old boxes of his stuff... We then headed up to blackball and F.R. to trade 2 of his cds. He bought the HellCat Records cd, and I bought Gremlins. Oh yeah, gremlins. Went to Subway, and then ran back to his house... It was freezing cold and then stared snowing... So yeah, walking was fun... We got to the show about 20 to 8 just as The Desents were starting up. Pierce, Kyle and Andrea ended up comming even though they said they were going to gabe, losers. Okay, that's it... I have no more news for you freaks... Oh wait yes, CLASSES ARE OOOOOVER! Exams start Tuesday (for me) and *NEW* classes start Friiiiiday! Yay for school, yay for me!

Mmmmm... today sucked Andrew's big fat hairy balls... (haha Theresa). Yesterday I went downtown with Pierce, Travis and Brad... oh yeah... and Krista... Basically we skated... well I tried and fell on my ass... (Yes, I am still in pain)... We got into a snow ball fight (no no, the fake snow by the civic) with some little kids... We got 'em good... suckers... and yeah... I have no time to say anything because once again my mom is yelling at me... Weeee...

Well, Kyle and Pierce just left. They were here for a total of 7 minutes. Weird boys they are... Last night Pierce, Krista, Travis, and Steph (some chick from Barsby...?) came over... and yeah, watched movies, and weird cartoons... Trav spent the night, the rest left around 10. I spent most of today locked up in the computer room working on my layout. I've got it pretty much how I want it. I just need to change the colours around and make it SHOW UP ON THE DAMN SCREEN... Fuck, it's pissing me off... No matter what site I try and put it up on it'll only show up in preview =( Oh well, I'll worry about that later... For now it's time to shower! Weeeee-hoooo! ... Yeah, so later tonight I might be heading out to a movie with Travis... If not I'm sludging around his place.... Soooooo.... BYE.

Wow, this week has been SO long yet passed so fast... Tomorrow is Friday... I'm so happy... I love Fridays. On Monday during C block I walked out... (Teacher strike, blah blah blah) the Cedar bums (Pierce, Kyle, Paul...) were there so we all ran around being idiots and then sat in front of the School District building with signs. Tuesday after school me and Trav went to the S&A to volenteer... Had my mom yell at me and take away my bass... =P on her. Wednsday Piercey came to school to get his uhhh.. thingy were they show you around the school... so me and Travis stalked him and his mom for a bit... Then in Science disected a tampon... Oh oh oh oh ohhhhh in C block (Spanish WEEEE) Alley had her little brother's fart machine.... It made noises with this remote control... So it kept us SO entertained... lol We stuck it in peoples desks when they weren't looking and Steph had the remote and would make it go off at random moments... God it was great. LOL Oh my god, later I decided to go for a walk and brought the machine part with me... lol and Alley kept the remote and kept making it go off... So I was walking down the stairs and JUST as I walked by Mr. Blain (Vice P) it went off! He gave me the WEIRDEST look so I tried to explain and he just looked at me like I was an idiot so I ran away.... Then I found Travis who had been kicked out of English so me him and Chris played with it for ahwhile... Stupid Alley with the remote upstairs managed to make it go off at the worst times... Ummm... Today... Fuck, what the hell happened today? Haha at lunch we watched the movie Ryan, Morgan, Miles, and Richard made for English (i think). Peter, Michelle, Steve, Erin... and a bunch of other people were in it, it's HILARIOUS! It starts off with them smoking paper (looks like a joint) and then Richard stumbles in pretending to be all drunk... and then he passes out and the movie is pretty much everything he dreams while he's out... Basically everyone gets attacked and killed by wigs... Peter takes a shit... and Ryan trys to save the day... Then Richard wakes up and promises to never drink again... (hahahaha yeah right). Anyhoo, my mommy is yelling at me to get off the computer... so I take my leave once more :)

Alrighty, I'm still here. I just haven't been updating much... AT ALL... because I've been working on that new layout... But guess what! Geocities closed the account I was working on it in... Rawr. I still have it, it's just back where it started... lol ... and the code is broken somewhere and blah blah blah it's annoying the hell out of me.

Friday night was a blast and a half. Me, Travis, Kyle, Pierce, Peter, Krista, and Danyel all went to Ashley's house after school and bummed around there for a few hours. Around 7 we headed our asses over to the GP. Actually, 3 guys got in the back of the car, 3 girls on top, one guy in the front with a girl on top... and Ashley's mom driving... Interesting how it worked out... Anyhoo, the whole car ride was very uncomfortable I was sitting on Peter and he kept trying to attack my ass... The word 'rape' was screamed a few times and then Pierce decided he wanted his hat back so we had this war over it and Danyel kept getting stabbed because she was sitting on Pierce... Anyhoo, it was a fun experiance... ;) At the GP we basically did the norm. Played pool, skated in the parking lot, ran up to the school and smashed things, ran through the forest and got attacked by prickles...... Oh oh I skipped Spanish that day, and Tuesday and Wednesday and wasn't at school on Thursday... lol and my teacher just happened to pass me in the mall while we were waiting for Krista... So I was paranoid the whole night that my mom was going to kill me (she said she'd call home) but my mom hasn't said anything to me about it yet so... PFFFT to you Mrs. Walker! ... 3 more weeks till next semester.... yay... :)

Saturday I picked up Pierce and we went to Travis's. As soon as we got there we headed over to Scott's because Paul and Craig were supposed to be there. But of course they had gone down town... So we went looking for them... Finally found them skating at the bus stop, so we hung there for awhile until the cop came and told us to go to the Civic cause apparently you can't skate anywhere but the parks ;) So we slowly made our way down there, stopping in guitar places and sitting in front of Subway for like 30 minutes... Ummm... Down at the Civic Paul, Scott and Pierce skated around for a bit, then Pierce fell and busted his ankle... So I sat with him on the table and Trav went around for a bit.... 4:30 hit and they had to leave cause of the All School's Dance. So.. went back to Travy's... Watched The Terminator and Terminator 2... lol My mom came and got me at 12 something... She said 9 or 10 so we were wondering how drunk my mom was (she's cheap, half a glass of wine and she's gone... weee) and if I was ever going home... Meh... Turns out she was only a little giggley ;)

I think that's it... except I need you all to go here: www.oeyvind.org/misc/house.gif and stare at this picture... Someone sent it to me and said it was really scary if you stare at it, but I'm stupid and don't see anything... So... yeah...

Weeee-hoooo I made myself a *new* splash page, one that -I think- actually looks good. If you haven't seen it already click HERE and see it. It's simple, basic, and I love it... Mostly because it seems like something I would do in Hameister's class... Actually, it's something I have done - sort of...

Anyhoo... You don't want to hear about my day because it sucked. I helped my mom around the house, slept and talked on the phone... That's it... Lovely. So, I'll just leave with singing... "SWEET HOME ALABAMA..."

Everything is wrong.

By saying 'everything is wrong' I mean EVERYTHING.
I look around me - I'm typing on a plastic and metal and glass computer perched on a desk made from cut down trees and toxic paint. I sit in a building made of wood and bricks that were taken from the earth on a street made of poisonous asphalt that was laid over an eco system that had thrived for hundreds of thousands of years. I'm clothed in cotton that was saturated with pesticides while it grew and treated and dyed with toxic chemicals while it was being processed. All of my possessions were made hundreds or thousands of miles away and shipped in styrofoam and plastic wrap via gas-burning engines and destructive roads and airways to me. My food, although organically grown and completely vegan, is shipped from where it was grown to my local store and is often packaged in paper, plastic, metal, and toxic inks. I know tons of people that eat meat, smoke cigarettes, drive cars, use drugs, etc., even though they know that these things will ultimately hurt the quality (and length) of their lives. I live in an apartment building where no-one is on a first name basis. I know more about idiot actors in hollywood that I've never met than I do about the woman who lives next door to me (and who is probably more interesting). While walking to work I inhale toxic exhaust from cars sitting in traffic.

To make sure that eating 3 cans of oven cleaner will make you sick, or to make sure that pouring nail polish remover into your eyes will hurt you we torture mice, rabbits, dogs, cats, etc. We use toxic chlorine bleach to keep our underpants white. We cut down the rain forests to drill for oil so that we can drive to the video store. Do you see what I mean? Everything really is wrong. Even the back-to-nature people still drive cars and use products made from materials ripped out of the earth. People struggle all of their lives doing work that they hate just to be a functioning member of a system that is wasteful, destructive and unhealthy.

What I advocate is this - a sensible, pragmatic, and non-destructive approach towards existence. We need to re-evaluate our practices. Just as it doesn't make sense to hire an elevator operator to run an automatic elevator it doesn't make sense for billions of people to drive to work alone in their cars. It doesn't make sense to consume animal products. It doesn't make sense to use pesticides on agricultural products. It doesn't make sense to derive power from nuclear, coal, and petroleum when we have solar, hydro, and wind power. It doesn't make sense to maintain destructive systems just because people earn their livings from them. It doesn't make sense to pour billions of tons of toxic chemicals onto our lawns so that they'll look pretty and green. I could go on but you're probably either bored or overwhelmed by now. I advocate change, massive, massive change. Basically we should stop doing those things that are destructive to the environment, other creatures, and ourselves and figure out new ways of existing. That's it.

Moby - 1995

As you can see (and probably knew from the first paragraph) I didn't write that. I felt like going off on a rant this morning but I'm too pissed off/upset to have any of my words make sense. So I wrote up a rant written by someone else. It doesn't really matter who wrote that, because in the end it's only the point that matters. Hopefully the people who come to this site aren't actually brain dead. (I'm just assuming that people who have interest in my life have some dysfunction...) I know that it would be impossible to change the world, but why can't we at least try? I don't agree with all the points in the above essay. I do agree that smoking and drugs are wrong - but not really. I just don't like the idea that we poison our bodies so knowingly. But I do it, so I can't say I'm against it. And he's left out the main thing about this world that pisses me off... (Actually, that essay doesn�t even begin to explain all that�s wrong on this earth) Up here in North America we are possibly the luckiest people in the world. Most people don't even know what's going on down their street, let alone on the other side of the world. Or even worse, they do know and still don't care. Would it really cost our government(s) so much money to send food and supplies to these countries? We have enough money, it�s just spent on the wrong things. (*cough* PacificCats) Sure, they do give them money, but then the countries have to pay our governments back. Where in the world are these 3rd world countries supposed to get that kind of money? They borrow more. Then this way they end up owing more. It shouldn't work that way. Thousands of children die everyday of things we barely we never even think of worrying about here. There's a place called Sri Lanka in Southern Asia where a whole generation of children have had their hands cut off by terrorists (well, people rebelling against the government) so that when they grow up they won't be able to fight against them. Some are missing more that just hands from land mines that are literally everywhere. No one really knows about this because the media (which is probably the only reason any of us know about anything going on anywhere) cares more about one little incident that's close to home. It's more important to them to report on a house fire down the road where 3 died rather than millions dying halfway across the world. It doesn't matter, now you know. But now that you know, what are you going to do about it? Nothing. Maybe you'll say "oh my god that's terrible" and then forget about it the next morning. Because it doesn't matter, it's not effecting you. I almost don't want to post this because take a look at me . . . Those of you who know me well know that I care. But also know I've never done anything to help out far away from home. I've helped out around Nanaimo, but never anywhere that far, so I don't want you to think that I'm insulting all of you for not doing anything. I'm just mad that I don't know of a place where I can go to help. This summer I'm going to Brazil with my mom to build houses and work in the schools. . . I'm excited to go and help out, I just still don't feel like it's enough........ Alright, I've gotten off topic I think... I don't know... It's time for me to shut up.

Ahhhh... finally.... Geocities has been being a hobnob and hasn't let me access my acount for... 4 days... But I'm back soooo pfffft on you geocities! *cough* I really need to try and get hosted... This is going to drive me crazy...

So, I would like to start my talk about the new year by saying sorry to Pat... And by thanking Pat, Travis, CJ, Scott and Melinda for- well that doesn't matter because they know why. So, new years eve, I ended up going to Chris's party and had a lot more fun than I would have if I had stayed home and complained all night about how my life sucks. Anyhoo, it was a party and me and Travis did eventually get our al-kee-hol so you can only guess what happened to me, and you know what, you're probably right.

Toooooday, Travis is supposed to come over and play with my old train set with me (yes, I am trying to be a little kid again - it's not working.). Around 7 I'm heading to gabe, not by choice but because Ryan is sending death threats. It's something like an aniversarry for the GP so everyone who's everyone will be there, meaning if you live in Nanaimo come on the 6:55 ferry with me over so I'm not lonely.... =)
