    <content type="html">hi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;today was a great day. well yesterday actually because of the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it was one of those "i want to do it again" kinda days. top notch.&lt;br /&gt;i got to, get this, sleep in. heaven sent i tell ya. and i went and&lt;br /&gt;saw Chicken Little. now you may make fun of this choice in film but&lt;br /&gt;in all honesty it was probably the best movie i've seen in a while.&lt;br /&gt;just utterly frickin hilarious. bliss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the next hing i did was sit at home with a friend and watch another&lt;br /&gt;movie. Get Over It. very appropriate, and once again frickin jokes.&lt;br /&gt;ben foster is an amazing acotr, however i can't look at him the sam &lt;br /&gt;after seeing Hostage first, where he played sketchy Mars. jeeze.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the rest of the night got even better. i went with a bunch buddies to&lt;br /&gt;another friend's hockey game. a tie. decent. but then the real fun &lt;br /&gt;began as the over stuffed car headed to my buddies house. there the &lt;br /&gt;boys preceded to get trashed outa their minds, and provide hours of&lt;br /&gt;entertainment to the ladies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;one guy was fricking eddy murphy with all his jokes, one guy just humped&lt;br /&gt;everything, another was just depressing. and THEN my bestest guy friend&lt;br /&gt;tried to kiss me, again. and i'm like no no no, let's be smart. i'm &lt;br /&gt;getting good with the whole reasoning with drunk people thing. a little&lt;br /&gt;tooooo good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in conclusion i laughed more today that i have all month. it was exactly&lt;br /&gt;what i needed. better than a massage, or spa day. it was revitalizing. &lt;br /&gt;even just for the soul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;g'night and sweet dreams.</content>

    <content type="html">what, whaaaaaaaaat?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;okay that's my gansta moment for the week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;friday night. just got home from this RIDICULOUSLY intense vocal rehersal. basically i can't talk.&lt;br /&gt;and since when am i a soprano? i mean really? anyways that's not important. what is, is thaat we &lt;br /&gt;actually sounded really good, as a cast. hmmmm, maybe there is hope for a decent younger show....&lt;br /&gt;just maybe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;earlier today i had a moment. one of those little snipits you want to freeze-frame and savour over,&lt;br /&gt;and over. it was 4th period...skipping class and lazing in the council office. listening to Forever&lt;br /&gt;Young - Youth Group. starring at a cheesy Ikea clock. sitting across from my friend. and for that&lt;br /&gt;one little moment i had nothing to do, no work, no pressure, no stress. nothing but the song, and her&lt;br /&gt;and the couch, and the clock. blissful almost. i thought if i wrote the moment down i may get a second-&lt;br /&gt;hand revisit of that feeling. it didn't work. it was a nice try though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so i just have to get angry at myself a little bit before i head to bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i'm finally realizing that i'm letting him keep a hold on me. and by him i mean my Ex [who from now on&lt;br /&gt;will jut be referred to as him]. okay, so in all honesty, it's been a long time since we were together.&lt;br /&gt;a really long time. and it was only recently that i finally told myself that i had let go. of him. of&lt;br /&gt;everything that he reminded me of. but that was a pure lie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;he always wanted my pictures. my display ones - the one that i consider to be world worthy. so i send them&lt;br /&gt;to him like a good girl, and his simple compliments in return were always enough. but now i see the grasp&lt;br /&gt;that he had has never loosened. maybe because i hoped he kept a little collection of my pictures because&lt;br /&gt;he was still in love with me. or in a mean-spirited moment hoped his new girlfriend would find them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but it's never really been about the pictures. i just wanted him to want me. even in the littlest of ways.&lt;br /&gt;just him asking for them was important to me, and i'm ashamed. it's pathetic really. and i'm hoping now&lt;br /&gt;that i can say no. that i can find a way to change the subject if he ever asks again. because i may realize&lt;br /&gt;the significance of the pictures and what i should do, i just may not have the strength to turn him down. &lt;br /&gt;i never really did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i have so much work to do over the next few days, school and otherwise. so i think that if i force myself to&lt;br /&gt;visit my pillow, it may do me some good. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;g'night and sweet dreams.</content>

    <content type="html">howdy strangers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so it's been a few days since my last posting. boohoo. miss me? betcha did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the reason why i couldn't post is that i slipped into the depths of despair - &lt;br /&gt;otherwise known as the end of xmas holidays. and on top of that i can't stay&lt;br /&gt;up late and think/wirte, because i have stupid school the next day...and the &lt;br /&gt;day after that, and so on. so here i am, mid afternoon. weird, i'll say that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;basically, i hate the whole education system right now. i know it's just a &lt;br /&gt;little pent up anger from the semster attacking me now, but i still hate the &lt;br /&gt;system. I want it to be over. yes i know, i still have 2 1/2 weeks of class &lt;br /&gt;left and then 4 torturous exams. but, in all honesty, i don't know if i'm &lt;br /&gt;going to make it. i might have a nervous beakdown sooner than expected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;its not just the heinously large work load i have [which more likely than not &lt;br /&gt;i should be working on right now instead of writing this, however, not the &lt;br /&gt;point] it's everything about my school that is pissing me off. the classes, &lt;br /&gt;the texbooks, the lockers, the teachers, the fucked up students, even the &lt;br /&gt;morning announcements are getting on my nerves. yes, it's that bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and the worst part is, is that i still have a whole nother semester to go. &lt;br /&gt;fuck. so it's not even that i have a light at the end of my tunnel by being &lt;br /&gt;finished, i have a tunnel at the end of the tunnel. oh the metaphors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;on top of that i'm major stressing about my audition tonight. just incase you &lt;br /&gt;didn't know....you probably don't, but anyways....i love theatre. i love &lt;br /&gt;performing and all that stuff. and i'm part of this youth theatre gang. yes &lt;br /&gt;thats right, gang. and tonight i have my vocal audition. fuck fuck. see that &lt;br /&gt;one deserved two fucks, thats how stressed i am. now another point is that i &lt;br /&gt;love acting and dancing and the whole musical thing, but i wouldn't say by &lt;br /&gt;anymeans that i'm a stellar singer. okay i wouldn't even say i'm a good singer. &lt;br /&gt;i can pull off a harmony or too - more often than not in the back rows of a &lt;br /&gt;chorus. but i sure ain't no broadway belter. so i just want to get this fucking &lt;br /&gt;vocal audition outa the way and worry about the dance one on sunday. that should &lt;br /&gt;be a little less, embarrassing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so now that i've cleared that mostly off my chest - i must go and work a little &lt;br /&gt;more on said audition. that way i'll suck less. hopefully. oh shit. i have to &lt;br /&gt;study for a World Issues test too. i think i have bad karma or something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;g'night and sweet dreams.</content>

    <content type="html">okay cyberland. here it is. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my girl M and i have decided to share just how sexy we are.&lt;br /&gt;well our skills needed a little sharpening today, so what did we do? we used the tool, known as the&lt;br /&gt;internet, to explore the wide variety of ways to pleasure a young gentelman [aka M's rediculously&lt;br /&gt;sweet, and sexy boytoy.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and guess what we found?&lt;br /&gt;everything. everything, everything a girl could possible need or want to know about - penises.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so here is M to recap all the knowledge she has aquired, and all the wisdom i have so kindly passed&lt;br /&gt;on to her. in a way she is like a young "grasshopper" and i am nothing but an old, wrinkly sensais &lt;br /&gt;who has nothing left to live for and might as well, you know, share the love. i've been informed &lt;br /&gt;that that statement was completley falsified. but since, well fuck, this is my journal - screw off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My teachings:&lt;br /&gt;- bravery should not override the comfortable. with everything. nothing is expected.&lt;br /&gt;- sexual endeavours should be beautiful experiences for both [or in some cases all] parties involved.&lt;br /&gt;- i like my men hard. just like my keybord typing. ..umm nevermind.&lt;br /&gt;- faster is not, i repeat, not neccessarily better.&lt;br /&gt;- without putting things in the past, there is no future. [that includes sex]&lt;br /&gt;- you can't deny pure talent.&lt;br /&gt;- if you can't smile with the lights on, what will it be like in the dark.&lt;br /&gt;- sometimes jumping on the bed is better than rocking the bed.&lt;br /&gt;- a guys first words should not be - hey lets fool around, then hang out.&lt;br /&gt;- O is the best letter in the alphabet.&lt;br /&gt;- lips were made for talking, and that's just what they'll do, then one of these days these lips are gunna...&lt;br /&gt;- boobs are great.&lt;br /&gt;- so are penises.&lt;br /&gt;- size does matter, sorry guys.&lt;br /&gt;- chicks before dicks, hoes over bros.&lt;br /&gt;- liquour before beer, you're in the clear. beer before liquour, never sicker. that's just important.&lt;br /&gt;- if you can't say no to someone you love, then how can you honestly say yes.&lt;br /&gt;- a rectangle plus one is a pentagon, not a hexagon.&lt;br /&gt;- sometimes a little chocolate can go a long way. and really that's not sexual at all.&lt;br /&gt;- we have nice bums. let's be honest now.&lt;br /&gt;- like the waramps say: "play safe and have fun."&lt;br /&gt;- if you think its crazy up there, its really crazy DOWN there.&lt;br /&gt;- at the end of the day, it really is going to be alright.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;g'night and sweet dreams.</content>

    <content type="html">heya freaks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so today was amazing. i don't know what the fuck i would do if i didn't have M. she is my angel + with out&lt;br /&gt;her i'd probably have jumped from my bedroom window long ago. but in all seriousness, she is my dose of reality&lt;br /&gt;just when i need it the most. and yet, i swear we spend most of our time in the realm of laughter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we went to a monologue workshop today, and surprisingly is was soo much fun. i mean, usually the word WORKshop, &lt;br /&gt;denys the participants of any amount of amusment. but not in this case. a good friend of mine was leading the &lt;br /&gt;event and overall it was quite successful. oh don't get me wrong, there were a few exceptions. some people in &lt;br /&gt;serious denial about their whole "acting abilities". but moreoften then not we rocked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the rest of the day was spent eating, laughing, crying, peeing, and spending some much needed quaility time with &lt;br /&gt;my girl. we cozyied ourselves up in my bedroom "nook" and watched some high class One Tree Hill. i don't know a&lt;br /&gt;better way that i could have spent the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i don't know. this was just what i needed. the day with M didn't necessarily take my mind off a certain someone.&lt;br /&gt;but it made me realize that, oh wait, YES life does go on. once again i repeat. in the grand sceme of things, we &lt;br /&gt;have nothing to complain about. and so i am thankful to have a freind so smart, compassionate, beautiful, and &lt;br /&gt;understanding, who would spend the day with mopey old me. i love you, you sex goddess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;all i can ask for is that tommorrow be half as good as today, and that i get a chance to laugh. that is all i need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;g'night and sweet dreams.</content>

    <content type="html">hey homies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i'm a chicken. sorta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sooooooooooooooo, i called the guy [view other post]and.....he wasn't there. at the &lt;br /&gt;dentist to be exact. baaaaaaaaad. because now i don't have the nerve to call again.&lt;br /&gt;and the worst thing i said that i would. "oh. he's not in? oh, okay. no message. no,&lt;br /&gt;actually tell him that i called. ya? i'll call again."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHY DID I SAY THAT? i could have gotten away with the not calling thing. but now he &lt;br /&gt;knows that not only did i call, but that i'm supposed to call back. fuck. i mean i &lt;br /&gt;almost called back - after i got home from work. but the hockey game was on [WHOO!&lt;br /&gt;go Canada! congrats to our Juniors!] and i may, possibly, have used the game as an &lt;br /&gt;excuse to wait on the phone call. and before i knew it, whao it was 10:30! that is &lt;br /&gt;just too late to call. disrespectful actually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so here i am. sitting alone. in my dark living room thinking about everything i SHOULD,&lt;br /&gt;or COULD have done. now those are two words that don't fit into my plan for this year.&lt;br /&gt;rrrrrrrrrrrg.i just what to call him now and be like "you're going to the movies with &lt;br /&gt;me tomorrow night. okay. great." hmm, that would go over well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i'm letting myself down. &lt;br /&gt;i know that i am, and yet i don't know how to do anything about it. if i call him all &lt;br /&gt;bets are off, and this crush i've had forever may just have to be put aside. and that's&lt;br /&gt;what i'm afraid of. not having this crush to hide behind. if i have to leave this crush &lt;br /&gt;behind, i may have to put myself out there again. and, well, i don't do that very well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that's just if things don't work out. if he's game to try it out, then i'm equally screwed.&lt;br /&gt;then i may actually have to *gulp* share my feelings with someone. shit. shit shit. i don't &lt;br /&gt;like this feeling. this is a pre "sauna" feeling [code word for my ex] and i just want it to&lt;br /&gt;go away. please, anyone want my feeling? i will pay you to take it, how's that? no, no takers?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i need to go. and, and dance this off. like Ellen DeGeneres. i'm too busy right now to be &lt;br /&gt;thinking about any extra distractions anyway. i need to keep on track - he would probably&lt;br /&gt;just confuse things. i think i might even get to be before 3am tonight. good for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;g'night and sweet dreams.</content>

    <content type="html">hello out there, we're on the air, it's hockey night tonight...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh, good ol' Stompin Tom.&lt;br /&gt;quick note: good luck to the Canadian Juniors tomorrow! may they kick some Russian ass!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and back to now.&lt;br /&gt;so today i decided to face one of my many fears and make a move. no not in chess, or address, on this &lt;br /&gt;fellow i've been "crushing" on. it's been quite a long time growing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh grade nine math. the trials and tribulations of the quadratic formula: y = -b+/- the square root of &lt;br /&gt;b squared - 4ac ALL over 2a. mmm love that stuff. oh and yes, that's where i met him in case you didn't&lt;br /&gt;follow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;since then we've been friends. not the inseparable type - like the guy who kissed me the other day. [see&lt;br /&gt;other entry]this crush of mine is just a friend. one that if i walked into the caf and saw him eating with&lt;br /&gt;his friends i would feel comfortable sitting down with him. okay geeky analogy, i know. so the friendship&lt;br /&gt;is definitely there, which i most certainly don't want to kill with my growing affection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so i've decided to do this: call him, and say "hi __________, i was wondering if you want to go to the &lt;br /&gt;movies tonight?" whatcha think? original, eh? and i'll do it via phone because i'll be able to tell in&lt;br /&gt;his voice whether or not he really wants to go. i'm at the stage where nausea has started to set in. even&lt;br /&gt;though i won't be calling tonight i'm uber sketched out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;look at it like this. he has been completely and utterly oblivious to my attraction for him. i've flirted &lt;br /&gt;my ass off for him. [we made out a dance once, but i think alcohol may have been a factor] and he just&lt;br /&gt;doesn't get it. some people are telling me he isn't worth it if he's missing all my messages. however, i&lt;br /&gt;will still fight till the end. that's just the way i am. i need to send him the message some how. preferably&lt;br /&gt;with words and not, say, a 2x4.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;here's the thing, so far my philosophy has been: i'd rather keep liking him until doomsday, with him oblivious &lt;br /&gt;to my existence, than to know for sure that he doesn't like me. and i know, i know, that is a very pessimistic &lt;br /&gt;way of looking at the situation. but i mean cum'on. my track record with guys has been far from stellar. what's&lt;br /&gt;going to make this one any different?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so in the grand scheme of things, it may seem like i'm obsessing over nothing. and first off - sure i have &lt;br /&gt;the right to. but really, its just - i want to know. i need to know. i want to know if perhaps, just this once, &lt;br /&gt;he may be just be as shy/nervous as i am. and that's the reason for his inaction. i'm keeping my fingers and &lt;br /&gt;toes crossed like there's no tomorrow. we'll see what transpires.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now - what movie should we see? nothing too girly. nothing with really hot chicks which will draw attention away &lt;br /&gt;from me. nothing with song and dance, musical feel - guys hate those. nothing with subtitles, or actors with &lt;br /&gt;foreign names. nothing with Keanu Reeves. maybe i'll let him choose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;g'night and sweet dreams.</content>

    <content type="html">well hello out there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it is rather late, er, early...yet i have no urge to close down this note book and head to la la land.&lt;br /&gt;i'm quite energized actually - with plenty of new revelations to poke through. splendid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so today was a pretty average day, all in all. it had its moments. nice meal, fun movie, a dull lazy&lt;br /&gt;feeling of holidays. you know the drill. but something truly remarkable did happen. i was spontaneous.&lt;br /&gt;yes, little stick in the mud me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i was called out to a neighbourhood Mcdonalds [aka the bain of my existence] by 2 rather intoxicated, &lt;br /&gt;yet simpley irresistible friends of mine. it was beyond ridiculous. my boys were crude, obnoxious, obscene&lt;br /&gt;and yet i still had a good time. embarrassed to be seen with them in public, but fun none the less. i &lt;br /&gt;never usually take the chance to be foolish and wild - and these boys certainly know that. especially this&lt;br /&gt;late at night. but they showed me a good time and everything was fine and dandy until my bestest friend/&lt;br /&gt;practically brother decided to - i don't know - kiss me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;wtf. i mean we are so close that we almost share the same DNA. i mean uber uncomfortable, but not at the same&lt;br /&gt;time. don't get me wrong he most definitely has a girlfriend. and we most definitely don't usually do that. but &lt;br /&gt;somehow it was okay. ish. i love this boy wholeheartedly. without a doubt. and maybe i've had a perma crush &lt;br /&gt;on him. but so far i've managed very well thank you to keep that tucked away. i LIKE the friends thing. i'm cool&lt;br /&gt;with the friends thing. don't go kissing me then fool!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;another friend told me that the lovely alcohol showed me his true feelings, and gave him the courage to do what&lt;br /&gt;he's always wanted to do. i say - fuck. i don't believe it. i won't believe it. maybe i'm putting blinders on and &lt;br /&gt;and refusing to face the music. well that is fine. i like things how they are and no stupid little kiss is going &lt;br /&gt;to change that. rrrrrrrrrrg. take that fate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;fate. oh destiny. the alli to karma. how i want to kick you in the genitalia. i wish it wouldn't keep playing &lt;br /&gt;stupid head games with me. there is the odd occasion when i think "hey maybe this is for the best" you know...&lt;br /&gt;clandestinely arranged or something dumb like that. but most of the time i'm thinking "why the fuck did that&lt;br /&gt;just happen?!" that's exactly my sentiment right now. pure and utter fate-induced confusion. i don't like. no. &lt;br /&gt;not at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so as i go off to towel dry the chaos that is my hair, i ponder. did tonight's spontaneous happenings happen &lt;br /&gt;for a reason? or was the alco-meter just a little to high? i probably will never know. i mean with the whole&lt;br /&gt;girlfriend thing. though, that could all be taken care...no comment. anyways i will survive. i always do. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;g'night and sweet dreams.</content>

    <content type="html">Hi World.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it is jan. 1, 2006. &amp; this year i decided not to make any new years resolutions. i always fuck those up anyway.&lt;br /&gt;this here is my alternative. sharing my inner ramblings for one year. maybe with an outlet for my "feelings" i &lt;br /&gt;won't be so screwed up...maybe? just a thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so here goes nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i am a 17 year old dreamer. i have constant high hopes - which are constantly being kicked in the crouch. kinda a&lt;br /&gt;false hope thing going on. i have great expectations for everyone. mainly myself and more often than not, everyone&lt;br /&gt;falls a little short. shitty when you think about it (but reality none the less). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the feeling i'm getting right now is pure dread. what if someone reads this? what if no one does? the insesnt ramblings&lt;br /&gt;of an over eager teen aren't of much importance in my mind...but should they be? we never know what thoughts are going&lt;br /&gt;to change the world, and we certainly never know who is going to kick change in the ass. i'm like the next guy/girl/person.&lt;br /&gt;i want peace and happiness and don't want to have to do anything to get it. but what if change is all we need?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this mentor/friend guy once said to me "if you're worried about being happy, then you're probably already happy". to me &lt;br /&gt;that sounded a little fucked up. but turning it over a few times in my stubborn head i thought - maybe that is the &lt;br /&gt;truth. if we have to stop and check to see if we are truly happy - then something must have happened to make us &lt;br /&gt;stop in the first place. it's a bit complicated and sounds much more sophisticated in my head. but maybe he was right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but seriously man, if this is happy - i wouldn't want to see sad. every time i stop puttering around i end up back&lt;br /&gt;thinking about my mundane existence. nothing ever really happens. it just passes by. one day after the next. one year&lt;br /&gt;into another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i had someone ask me about university the other day. the dreaded U. and i told them my plans and ambitions and all that&lt;br /&gt;"i know what i want with my life stuff". but in actually fact i don't know what i'm doing tomorrow. tomorrow? i don't &lt;br /&gt;even know what i'm doing in 5 minutes. i just wish that people would live for the now. for once just stop and think about &lt;br /&gt;riiiight...&lt;br /&gt;now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i think i should probably wrap this baby up. i don't wanna sound like a whiny fucker, griping about how i feel, and &lt;br /&gt;all that shit. i mean really - in the grand scheme of things, we have nothing to complain about. rich, white, canadians &lt;br /&gt;living our lives of traffic jams and ipods. not once will we have to worry about anything real in 2006. (ie food, water&lt;br /&gt;shelter, need i go on...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that's why i want to make this a year worth writing about. not worth complaining about. there i go again, always with the&lt;br /&gt;high hopes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;g'night &amp; sweet dreams.</content>
