life; stuff

So last week i got to go see The Lion King live in theatre!!! Went with David and my bff's, Stacey and Cherryl. It was an amazing show!!! So nicely performed and just had that "wow" factor lol. I was definitely dazzled!! Went out for dinner at Chili's beforehand, just had a lovely evening in general =).

Lol Cherryl loves to show off her glasses. (That she rarely wears, yet somehow seems to complain all the time about how she "can't see".)

And again.

Oh and it was the same day we stupidly decided to purchase the entire series of Alias lol. Random spending decisions of death. Gotta stop those.

And if anybody knows where i can get The Lion King on dvd? Or when it may come out of the "Disney Vault" again? Please let me know!!!

Oh Cherryl, you're so amusing. And you have a rather large tongue.

So i watched Miyazaki's Ponyo the other day, that is definitely one of the cutest movies i've ever seen!!! So adorable. And for those of you who think it looks like a "weird" movie, you will be mistaken once you watch it!! i do not lie =P.

And last but not least... i'm highly addicted to Wizards of Waverly Place right now. Like, i just love this show so much. I'm just breezing through season 1 right now like there's no tomorrow lol. Selena Gomez rocks!!

rollerblading fun

Second rollerblading adventure with Mel... extremely fun and amusing! So i wake up and i text Mel, "Do you want me to rollerblade to your house?". She calls me back and goes, "How about, INSTEAD of rollerblading to my house, you DRIVE to my house, and bring me to the hospital. Right now i am locked out of both my house and car, and i am staring at my keys inside of my car through the window".

So i go to pick her up and i bring her to the hospital (cuz her mom works there and has keys), and at this point she's not really worried about her car or her house, she is more worried about the fact that her rollerblades are IN her car, and that she is not able to access them lol. So we get that sorted out, and we finally get to go blading!!

So we park at Prairie Winds and try out this route i've never taken before... "Whitehorn Pathway" lol. It was so much fun!! The path was relatively FLAT the entire way, which is good for us being beginners and all. It was such a beautiful day! I can officially say that i have mastered the art of using the BRAKES. The only thing is, i have to START braking like 10 minutes before i actually want to STOP hahahaha. I think i've got the hang of it tho! I almost feel PRO!

So anyways, after about half an hour of blading, our ears perk up at the sound of the icecream man coming down the street. We can see him clearly, yet we are still too far away to actually stop him to buy some icecream. So what do we do? We started to frantically wave our arms up in the air in high hopes that maybe he'd see us and wait lol. And he DID!

So after a 5 minute struggle to actually GET to the icecream truck (the pathway was cracked and steep), we finally make it to the truck, only to be beaten by a couple of little kids. So we watch in amusement as the children buy their icecream (they didn't know how to count their money), and then finally it's our turn!

First of all, this icecream man looks rather shady. Melissa and i make our choices... we go for the "Mega Missile" popsicles, which i swear back in the day used to be called "Rocket". Cheap imitation! Anyways, so each Mega Missile is $2.50. So i pull out 5 loonies and hand it to the icecream guy. He stares at the money in his hand and goes, "This is only 5 dollars. Where is my tip!?". At first i thought he was just joking with us, so i laugh and say, "Do kids usually tip you!?". And then he just stares back at us, unamused... he was SERIOUS! He was actually WAITING fo me to tip him first before he got our popsicles! So Mel and i give each other a wtf look, and i hesitantly pull out another dollar to give to this greedy icecream man. Finally, he gives us our popsicles and drives off. Lol.

So, with popsicles in hand, we start to venture back to where we started from. And we made it back to the car in time just before it rained!! Thanks for the evening Mel, that was a blast! I look forward to many more rollerblading adventures... (if we have any summer left =/ )

great news

o m g ! i've been recruited!! the Joe's picked ME!!

farewell everyone! wish me luck. don't worry, i'll visit yearly!

(lol please don't look too closely at this picture... the Joe's tried to create my pic using PAINT i guess. they're so silly.)

go joe

GI Joe. go see it. it's a pretty hot movie.

so i just saw GI Joe... it was pretty sweet. it was definitely better than i expected, the previews didn't really look all that good, but in the end, i would rank it pretty high up there on my list of fave movies =P. highly entertaining. the dialogue was a bit weird at some parts tho... lol. like so cheesy. hhhhmmmm... i guess i'd have to say it was better than Transformers 2?? i have mixed feelings. wait. yeah. i think it was better.

my number one movie of the year however still remains unchanged: Star Trek. i don't think anything can beat that right now!

and oh man... i'm slow right now... The Time Traveler's Wife comes out next week and i'm only on page 140!! gaaahhhhh.

sigh... i really don't have much of a life when i'm on nights... =/

oh. and i really need to get me one of these suits.

sadness

=)

i also love this song.

Broken by Lifehouse

it's the song played in The Time Traveler's Wife movie trailer! fyi

ooOoOoo night time

"Maybe i'm dreaming you. Maybe you're dreaming me; maybe we only exist in each other's dreams and every morning when we wake up we forget all about each other."

Well i'm officially back on NIGHTS... my territory. It's been 3 weeks since i've been here. And it feels good! I love the feel of the night... the mystery. How everything is masked by the darkness. Lol don't think i'm creepy or anything... i dunno, maybe i'm just weird? It's like at night, i feel alive. A time to think and ponder. And to read, watch movies, play games, and surf the 'net.... hahaha!! Too much fun, too much fun.

So i'm trying to read The Time Traveler's Wife right now, and i've realized just how badly i have some type of ADD. Yup, i definitely have a "persistent pattern of inattention". I used to be able to read an entire book in a day!! Now that i'm "old", i can barely focus. Or maybe the stresses of adult life have finally plagued me. Who knows!

And now i sit here and sip my disgusting PLC cafeteria coffee... and twiddle my thumbs. And i am extremely bored. But also feeling a little bit poetic. I tried to write a poem just now... but to my despair, i would say it's a FAIL. Maybe i'll just keep working on it lol. And once i get it right, perhaps i'll share them.

Anywaysss, back to reading i go!
