WEEK IN REVIEW
monday: i can't remember so let's assume nothing happened. actually, let's skip tuesday and wednesday as well
thursday: left school early to go to the dentist. i have 8 cavities. why? because i'm too awesome to floss. but really, only one of them is visble to the naked eye. the rest you need magnifying goggles or an x-ray to see. after that, i handed in my volunteer application for the Vic. i think i slept for the rest of the day. oh yeah, i was sick so sleeping was necessary. but i had to wake up and do some english homework. a list of 50-100 goals for the future. i came up with 61.

so i was working with construction paper and stickers until the wee hours of the night.
friday: after school, i met my mom, my cousin from vancouver, her brother, Matthew, and his wife and baby at China Garden for lunch. i'm not a big eater but i did the buffet anyway. i was able to cram down two plates of food. mostly breaded... veal, i think. i dunno, i don't really ask what things are before i eat it. Matthew took my mom and his family back to our place but there wasn't enough room for me so Koren, my cousin from Van-city, waited with me. she's super nice and we talked about piercings and vancouver. later in the evening, like around 6, we headed to st Vital to go jacket shopping (mine's falling apart). but first we had to pick up my mom's friend from the hospital. so while my dad was in there getting her, we listened to ShyFX and discussed the piercings we wanted to get. she did the typical cringe when i showed her where i wanted to get a surface piercing. then we went to st vital.
this girl in my english class has a really nice jacket so i asked her where she got it and she said suzy sheir for 30$. so we went through The Bay but suzy sheir had nothing. we walked around the entire mall going into every store possible. (except Randy River. don't get me started) as we were leaving through the Bay my dad convinced me to at least check to see what they have there. i ended up finding a really nice wool coat that looks awesome on me for 40$. shwing!
then we went to superstore and got groceries 'cause my dad always forgets to get the stuff i want. i got blank cds and mascara and cookies. Koren and i hung out for the rest of the night; realxing by the space heater, chattin' some more.
saturday: woke up, watched the olympics, went back to sleep, woke up again, made a better more organized resume, then i showered and junk and my "aunt" came over for dinner. after that, my parents dropped us off at Pembina and McGilvary which was perfect because Koren wanted to get something pierced. so we walked down to Electric Babylon and she decided to go for the nipple and her lip. i read an Uptown while i waited then Nate called to pick us up. i was standing outside looking for his car and was like, "oh! there's Nate... and there's a cop car behind him". he got pulled over for doing an illegal u-turn and for not having his lisence. we went to Breakin' the Law and the girl at the door was being a cold bitch. Nate drove Koren to her brother's house then we hung out and drank for a bit then he drove me home.
today: went to a volunteer meeting for the NSI Film Exchange coming up this week. they had the best cookies there and i got a free t-shirt! i also saw Hilda, ruben's sister on the bus ride there. we had a good chat. she's a good kid. then i went to the MTS centre hoping that ticketmaster would be open so i could get my ticket for controller.controller but they were closed. i was going to drop off some resumés around Osborne but the first bus that came was a 60, so i took it to University Cres where my dad picked me up. Lindsay was being bunk (again) so i'm at home now, trolling the internet looking for people to go to the show with me tomorrow. here's the flyer:
PEOPLE, COME TO CONTROLLER.CONTROLLER TOMORROW @ WECC. I'M HANDING OUT FREE LOVING TO WHOM EVER GOES WITH ME!!!
