More Havoc.... AHHHHH Day 59



AHHH I'm almost up to two months!!! NO!!!!! oh well.... I suck at stuff like this...

Well I was going to post about how bored I have been in math class and I make drawings like this...

Yep... not that I can draw or anything...
Here I am displaying a stick man
jumping a Christmas tree, a stick
man waving through a door, the
view that I had (the red is my hair,
the green is my legs) and something
else....
MY FAVOURITE GREEN MONSTER
DRIVING A SHOPPING CART!


BUT THEN SOMETHING ACTUALLY HAPPENED!!!
Ok I have to explain something first. My TA (teacher advisory) teacher is the cosmo teacher. So she's pretty cool. Now we have this thing called flex where you have half an hour in the middle of the day to do whatever you want. But you have to tell your TA where you're going. But my TA is so cool that instead of actually telling her I text her. So yes, she has my number and I have her's. It's not actually that creepy...

ANYWAY so I get this phone call from her and she's like "I need your help my sister's kids are here and they need a babysitter because we are going to grad." 

Now inside my head I was like "oh crap I've really never babysat anyone before but I don't really want to say no because you know it's like my teacher and obviously they're freakin cause it's last minute"

But I said: "Ok sure" what the hProxy-Connection: keep-alive
Cache-Control: max-age=0

l right? I'm smart enough, it's like problem solving. I'm good at that.

Yep, I will just keep telling myself I'm smart I will figure it out
^^^That isn't me being narcissistic, it's me trying to have
self-confidence...

Anyway, I had 3 kids to take care of. A six year old, a three year old, and a 5 month old. Oh my freakin god. Now when my teacher was picking me up she was all like "when Anna said you were a good babysitter"

Anna's kid is 10. I'm fantastic with 10 year olds. I didn't tell here that was the only babysitting I had ever done.

Oh well. I'm smart, I will figure it out.

Did I mention that the kids grandma is also a teacher in the school? I really didn't want to screw up.

I get there and everyone was running around doing last minute preparations for grad and every time I touched the freakin baby he cried and I was embarrassed and they were probably thinkin "what the hell are we doing leaving the kids with this girl?" but luckily the grandpa was planning on staying home anyway so if the kids were screaming to much he would come down for backup.

Image from here
So as soon as everyone left he scooped the baby for like 30 min cause I was overwhelmed and then I just played with the kids. Then he came back down and I figured everything out. I was just so scared that the baby was gonna shit and then I would have to try and figure out how to change a diaper... Not really what I wanted to experiment with. Especially with other little kids running around.

So I was doing fine until it was time to get the kids out of the bath tub. The problem was every time I tried to put the baby down in his rocker seat thingy (what the hell do you call that?) he would cry. Now I know crying is suppose to mean something, but then when I picked him up and shoved a soother in his mouth he would shut up. So then I told the kids to get dressed and I couldn't really help them cause I was holding the baby. Whatever they were self-sufficient. ish.

Now it was getting late, so I was going to read the kids each a story and then they could go to sleep right? Well, it happened that at that same time the baby needed to be feed. This is where the havoc was, because the baby kept crying and bottle was leaking and that kids both wanted a story so I was trying to read "Morton the Magician" which has small print and lots a writing, so I was making it up because I didn't really have the patience to read the entire book. Oh and the girl had to hold it for me cause I don't have enough hands. Then I actually read the other book because it had like 6 sentences.


Image from here

Then I sent the six year old girl to the bedroom where she was going to sleep and the boy was suppose to sleep on the couch. But the girl was in tears because she couldn't sleep without her stuffy and the boy was crying because he missed his nana and the baby was crying because I was still trying to feed him. So my problem solving skills included sending the boy off to the bed room so they wouldn't be so lonely. Well, that wasn't really my idea, it was the little girls but I will take credit for it. After telling them to be quiet like 4 times they fell asleep. I carried the baby around for like 10 mins, then I finally clued in that if I put him in his bed then he would fall asleep. I know, I'm not too bright at these things.

So I felt bad about what a horrible job I did taking care of the kids so I started to clean up. Who doesn't like to come home to a clean house, right? When I would babysit Anna's kid I would always wash the dishes in the sink. After a while I began to think she would leave dishes in the sink just for me.... anyway all the toys were cleaned up and the water in the bathroom and all that stuff so I decided to dry off the Lego blocks they were playing with in the tub. So I'm doing that and then the person comes home and she's like "don't worry about washing blocks"

Cause that's what it looks like I'm doing. Washing the freakin toys.

So I tried to explain to her that they were using them in the tub and I was just trying them, not washing them.

Oh well, it's a little more cash in my pocket and I didn't embarrass myself too much.

I don't think so anyway.

Poem!!!!

Ok. No more A-Z blogging challenge. I apologize =(

Anyway on a happier note I wrote a poem for English and.....

GOT A FRICKEN HUNDRED PERCENT!!! and some pretty damn nice comments to go with it! Let me know what you think!

(the poem with no title and screwed up font)





I’m supposed to let you drive

let you have control
of my life.
I’m not supposed to hurt.

If you take my hand

I could live like
you want me to.
I’m not supposed to
have scars.
You could open my eyes
to everything
around me.

But
what if I let go?
and lose control

what if you’re not there
to catch me?
Will I fall…
                                                             fall…
                                                            
                                                                                                      fall…
                                                                                                                                              f
                                                                                                                                                                   a
                                                                                                                                                                                       l
                                                                                                                                                                                                            l

I’m not supposed to have scars.

Kill Bill? Really? Day 38

Yes, I know I spelled Kan wrong. But I need to follow through with this A-Z challenge!

So I was just sittin' here minding my own buisness when my parents called me to the living room. I was just aimlessly trying to write a blog post....

So I walk into the living room and they are watching Kill Bill. Now, I haven't seen it, so I trusted Wikipedia to inform you....

Volume 1
A pregnant bride (Uma Thurman) lies beaten at her wedding, telling an unseen Bill (David Carradine) that it is his baby, before he shoots her in the head. Sometime later, The Bride finds Vernita Green (Vivica A. Fox) at her home and fights her, but they cease after Vernita's daughter Nikki arrives from school. It is revealed that both women were former members of the Deadly Vipers Assassination Squad; elite assassins under the employ of Bill. The squad was ordered by Bill to attack The Bride's wedding in El Paso, Texas. Vernita attempts to kill her with a hidden gun, but dies after being stabbed. The Bride offers Nikki revenge should she seek it as an adult before leaving. She then strikes Vernita's name off a checklist, the second after one "O-Ren Ishii" has already been struck off.
It is revealed that after the wedding attack, The Bride miraculously survived the head shot but was left comatose. In hospital, another member of the Deadly Vipers, the one-eyed Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah), enters The Bride's room and prepares a lethal injection but is interrupted by Bill on the phone, who states they will take action only if she wakes. Four years later, The Bride awakens and is horrified to discover that she is no longer pregnant, leading her to assume that her baby is dead. She escapes, swearing revenge, and picks her first target: O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu), an orphan whose parents were killed by gangsters and who eventually took revenge, becoming an assassin. After the attack on the wedding, she has since become the leader of the Tokyo underworld.
The Bride travels to Okinawa to obtain a sword from retired legendary swordsmith Hattori Hanzō (Sonny Chiba), who has become a sushi chef and sworn never to forge again. After learning that her target is his former student, Bill, he agrees to forge his finest sword for her. The Bride then confronts O-Ren at a night club. She severs the arm of Sofie Fatale (Julie Dreyfus), an informant of Bill. She then bloodily fights off all of O-Ren’s henchmen, including the Crazy 88 and her personal bodyguard, 17-year-old sadist Gogo Yubari (Chiaki Kuriyama). The Bride then duels O-Ren, and kills her. Extracting the whereabouts of the other assassins from Sofie by cutting off her other arm, she leaves her at a hospital. Bill visits Sofie, who informs him that The Bride now knows the names and locations of the Deadly Vipers and is out for revenge. Bill then asks if The Bride is aware that her daughter is still alive.

So... Yeah. ???? Right? My parents, the ones who talk about tectonic plates as a dinner conversation watching this movie. Multiple times. Jaw on the floor.

So back to the story. So they called me into the living room while watching this movie.

Me: Yes?
Parents: Watch this scene.
Me: I really don't care.
Parents: Just watch it. It explains how this woman got so powerful.
Me: *rolling eyes* Fine.
Movie: (a whole bunch of people speaking in Japanese)
Me: I'm leaving.
Mom: No just watch, like two more seconds!
Me: (two seconds has gone by)

Me: (four seconds...)

Me: (20 seconds)

Moive: Girl gets up on table and chops man's head off, then flings her sword and sprays people in the face with blood. Says "I'm going to say this in English" and then goes on to talk about how if someone has a problem feel free to mention it.
Me: I'm leaving.... this is stupid. I really don't care.
Mom: Fine....

Later.....

Dad: The scene got funnier btw.
Me: I really don't care
Dad: (to my mom) Maybe when she's older.



MIND BLOWN!!!!
Things my parents watch....

Is this ok? Day 31

So I failed the 30 Day A-Z Blogging Challenge. Why? Because I didn't make it to Z. I was on H. BUT!!! I am not a quitter! So I will keep going until I reach the end! Bear with me, I am on I. (HAHAHA that sentence is so screwed up.)

Now would be a good time to welcome all my new followers! I have 22! I am soooooo excited! =D You guys make my day! Lots did indeed come from the A-Z Blogging challenge (which makes me feel guilty...). I will have you know that I did visit other peoples blogs too! Especially my new minions followers. I as well met some new friends and followed some new blogs.

I should probably tell you about all the excuses I have been brainstorming for why I didn't finish the challenge. ............................................................... ok I will

image from here

1. I'm lazy: When I got home from school, or badminton, or track, or piano, and logged onto my laptop, I didn't blog. I am still a recoverying Facebook addict, as well as being newly addicted to online pool tournaments (I know, embarassing). Then I would be kicked off my computer to do something... well more productive.

2. I've had a piano tied to my leg: My life has been about piano! Whether it was grand piano shopping (I fell in love with this piano, too bad its $30,000), or performing (Like everywhere!), or practicing (Grade 7 RCM and Harmony Grade 3) I have had no time for the internet! Good news: I GOT RECCOMMENDED FOR PROVINCIALS AT MY FESTIVAL!!!! OH EM GEE!!!!!! Plus at this other festival in the city I got 3 firsts and a second! WOOOO HOOOOO!!!! I  know, it would have been nice to put 4 firsts, but.... the guy who beat me had some kind of autism. Which, actually made him really good.... haha

3. We switched math teachers: Therefore switched classrooms. Therefore no computer sitting 30cm in front of me. I mean, the odd time.... or during other classes, but not a reliable morning spent blogging. (Don't judge me! I happen to do very well in math. Even without paying attention =P)

Is that enough reasons for you? Or am I just boring you trying to make excuses for myself? I don't know, I can't read your mind. Especially through the computer. Maybe if I could see you. I am testing out my new found superpowers. Beware!

Catastrophic Canadians!

 
Look Mrs. Leschert, I made an alliteration! *rolls her eyes* Anyway, Day 3 of A-Z Blogging Challenge! I wasn't sure what to blog about today, so I consulted my trustworthy friends. They were were like "Cold!" "Cats!" "Caroling!" No, no, no I've already thought of those things! I need something that jumps! So we came up with Catastrophic Canadians! We ARE a troubled bunch....


When you think Canada, you probably think cold. Well, that much is true. It is cold here. But, some places are colder than others, for sure. For example, here in the praries, we still have, like, huge amounts of snow. So much, that my dog (miniture schnauzer) can jump our chain link fence. Because there is so much snow. In April. But people in places like Toronto and Vancouver complain if there is like 10 cm of snow. Pfftt.

Canadians: Exibit A (aka me) So my last status on Facebook was "I've been trying to get a tan, but I can only last a few minutes outside at a time without a coat" TRUE STORY

Exibit B: Justin Beiber. A disaster. That's all I have to say.

Exibit C: All of the politicians. Why do we need to have another election? Harper was fine... They didn't believe that his spending thingy was right or something like that and then all the other guys ganged up on him and now we have to spend MORE money on another election. I will be so pissed if Harper wins again and we just wasted all that money.... urgh.

Now, I will decipher a couple of myths/truths

Canadians say "eh" a lot. TRUE! But, it's not like you notice, really. Just the way you talk. And it's not exagerated or anything. It is usually followed by a ? as in eh? They some of the annoyances in my class will have competitions, where the first one to not end a sentence in eh? wins. REALLY annoying.

Canadians ride polar bears to school. Uhh, think this one through for a minute.

Canadians live in igloos Ok now this is getting insane. Over the top. NO MORE!!! NOOOOO MORE!!!



Now, I will take a moment to bring up another "C" word! Well, not really a word. *drumroll* My friend's blog! She is like.... a really good friend of mine! You know, the one that I talked about here, and here and a whole bunch of other places. You interested yet? You should be. Go check it out! Chocochan-chibiko. Look, even two C's!!!!! Ok I got to go, do my harmony =/ adios!

Big Bang Theory!

So, this is like my most recent obsession. A quick summary (for those of the blogging world that do not watch it as religiously as I do) it is about these four guys who are all like super nerds. Sheldon, a theoritical physicist with an IQ of 187, the uber geek that really sucks at telling sarcasm amoung many other things. Leonard, an experimental physicist with an IQ of 173, and probably the most level-headed of the group. He is the one that is always trying to have a relationship with women, and always fails. Oh and then there is this girl, Penny, who is the dumb blonde that hangs out with them because she gets free food. Anyway, if you still have no idea what the show is about, try watching it instead of trying to figure out what I just said =P

Now, quotes from the show! (Thanks to http://the-big-bang-theory.com/quotes/)

Howard: If it's "creepy" to use the Internet, military satellites, and robot aircraft to find a house full of gorgeous young models so I can drop in on them unexpected, then fine, I'm "creepy".
> this is the episode when Howard and Rajesh are trying to find the America's Top Model House

Sheldon: I made tea.
Leonard: I don't want tea.
Sheldon: I didn't make tea for you. This is my tea.
Leonard: Then why are you telling me?
Sheldon: It's a conversation starter.
Leonard: That's a lousy conversation starter.
Sheldon: Oh, is it? We're conversing. Checkmate.

Sheldon: Why are you crying?
Penny: Because I'm stupid!
Sheldon: That's no reason to cry. One cries because one is sad. For example, I cry because others are stupid, and that makes me sad.

Rajesh: Why so glum, chum?
Sheldon: Apparently you can't hack into a government supercomputer and then try to buy uranium without the Department of Homeland Security tattling to your mother.

Zack: Is that the laser? It's bitchin'.
Sheldon: Yes. In 1917, when Albert Einstein established the theoretic foundation for the laser in his paper "Zur Quantentheorie de Strahlung, his fondest hope was that the resultant device be bitchin'.
> In order to get this quote, you would have to know that Zack is Penny's stupid tough guy boyfriend

Sheldon: I am not crazy, my mother had me tested.
> I use this line a lot.

Penny: I give up. He's impossible!
Sheldon: I can't be impossible; I exist! I think what you meant to say is, 'I give up; he's improbable'.

Now, if you didn't find any of these funny, you need to go watch the show. Then come back, and then you can say none of these are funny. But you won't. Because that would be lying =) Thanx for reading!

Achoo!!!!

It's my first day of A-Z Blogger Challenge, and I'm so excited! Look! I even followed to A-Z part of the rule! So today is April Fool's Day (I guess I could have titled it that), but, I didn't get to play a trick on anyone today... =( I was tempted though! My dad always talks about how he saran wrapped one of his co-workers van.... It's so easy to! You just go up to the car with a buddy, and toss over, under, over, under. And than the can't get their door's open..... haha it wouold be sooooooooo funny! And I was determined today was going to be the day!!! I actually got Rosanne and walked around the highschool parking lot with a roll of saran wrap scoping out potential victims... but it IS spring break...

BUT

There was one teacher's car... (ok, I'm not a stalker, she has her name on her licence plate -_-) But we would have had an audience of druggies... so we chickened.


Now the real reason for my title..... drum roll please *du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du*

RANDOM FUN FACTS ABOUT SNEEZES!!!
(haha I even forgot I used to do random questions/facts on Fridays... and it's Fridays =D)

  • You can sneeze at up to 100 miles per hour >Wow!!! That's one speedy sneeze!
  • Iguanas sneeze the most often of all animals on Earth
  • You can spray saliva and other particles up to 5 feet during a sneeze > ewwwwww!
  • It is impossible to sneeze in your sleep
  • Sneezing too hard can fracture a rib > now I'm kind of scared of sneezing... =S
  • Suppressing a sneeze can cause a blood vessel in your head or neck to burst > "yes sir, I would rather have your millions of germs all over my hand than have you burst a blood vessel or something"
  • Saying "lamp" or "cucumber" repeatedly when feeling a sneeze coming can actually stop it > hmm...

Did you know there are things that can make you sneeze? Like, weird things? For me, it's Dentyne Ice Gym. Like, not stick gum, but the other kind, in the packages? I always sneeze. But only once! So bizarre. Anyway here are some of them:
  • Sunshine > This one is a little questionable... Really?
  • Plucking your eyebrows > Apparently it has something to do with hitting a nerve =)
  • Working out > Exercise? Makes you sneeze? Who knew.
  • Making Love > HAHAHAHAHA not that I would know... Must be kind of awkward "Just give me a minute, I feel a sneeze coming on!" Wow, I wonder why? Never mind, don't really want to know...
And that's all I got for today. Again, thanks for reading! Always appreciate! And, if you did know, this A-Z Bloggers thingy is everyday of April, excepts Sundays I post, each starting with a different letter in alphabetical order. Actually, the last four sentences all began with my letter of the day! (btw, I included a video for your entertainment!)


Look! I'm being all computer geeky!
