There was an injured bird on my next door neighbours lawn. Well, I'm not actually sure if it was hurt, but it wouldn't fly away, so I took it home. She's in my backyard now. I named her Molly and gave her some bird food.
Oh by the way, that was quite a lovely picture you left in my yearbook Donna.

Today was not special in any way, but it was still kinda cool.
I finally got my yearbook. Go me! I wrote it on my hand in permanent marker to remind myself to grab it. Unfortunately it won't come off my hand. 'The Book of Year' Joy... I also find it very odd that Emmanuel was the first person to sign it.
People greeted me a Happy Birthday, but not really. They were talking to the Amanda in front of me.
I got more people sick. Like Gina, Oz, and Donna.
My voice is going back to normal. I'm quite sad actually. My cousin thought it was hot.
I bought a backpack. Spongebob is on it. It was a battle between Hamtaro, The Hulk, and Spiderman. Mr. Squarepants only won cause he was the cheapest.
And I can't forget to mention rocking out to New Kids on the Block and having my future kids porned.

Fat Joe
I still don't have my yearbook!
Mass was hilarious. I lied. The C(h)ristina's were tearing their sweaters apart and giving me the pieces. I still have to tally up the score but it looks like Oz lost.
I typed for the paper today and kept making Oz laugh which was really weird cause I wasn't talking about anything remotely funny.
"Read the poem." "hahahaaha" "Help me come up with a title." "hahahahaha"
I don't get it.

I just taped my voice to see how I sounded like. I think I should just keep quiet tomorrow.
I like peach juice. It doesn't really taste like peaches, but it's good nonetheless.
I lost another earring.
Debate was hilarious.
I was attacked by a grasshopper, but not really. It just scared me.

I should have blogged earlier cause I barely remember anything...
Why hello Banana! Orange you glad I'm here? Saturday

Grounded for Life Sunday
I'm grounded until the rest of the year, but I still don't understand the reason for it. I've never been grounded before. This should be interesting.

I'm famous, but not really. See if you can spot me in both pictures. Kind of like Where's Waldo?. We both wear glasses afterall...

It's sad how my mood changes with the parental entering the house. I got in trouble for not eating, but when I got up to eat something, I got in trouble once again cause we're going out to eat and I can't spoil my appetite.
Another thing: We're going out to eat. We hardly ever go out to eat and she chooses now to do so. Can't she wait 12 days???
I called my Dentist today to try and change the date. I actually picked up the phone. I'm shocked too. Anyways, the spot on September 30th is filled. I hate being angry. I've ranted enough about my mother to last me at least at year, so I'm going to stop now.
I had to work with liver today. Liquified liver, room temperature liver, frozen liver, and we had to boil it too. I had to clean the test tubes after and my hands reeked of it.
Second period was ok. It's my favourite class. Chambers' ties always amuse me. He had a Bjork one today and it was too small for him.
I'm actually understanding Calculus now. I got 100% on my quiz and a green sticker! I'm so proud considering I got a 78% (my lowest math mark ever) on my last test.
Guitar was good today too. The teacher says I'm an excellent guitar player and thinks I would be a good bassist, which I find really funny.
After school we joined the Debate Club. Yes, I know I'm crazy.

I'M. SO. MAD.
The past few nights have been filled with so much anger!!! Grr... Hulk anger.
Last night the parental made tacos for dinner for the first time ever. I'm not allowed to use my front teeth until they are filled. I had to eat it like a taco salad and got in trouble for using my hands at the dinner table. My brothers have the worst table manners in the world. Do they get in trouble?? No! Of course not!
My cousin came over this afternoon. I took a nap and while sleeping she thought it would be fun to draw a pair of glasses and a moustache on my face with the parental's eye liner. It's the expensive kind cause only the best materials can touch the face of my mother. She got pissed of course and now I have to buy her a new one with my OWN money. I'm so buying her one from the dollar store.
The dentist called today asking to book my next appointment. I have to get my teeth filled soon, so that I can eat normally. They were offering us September 30th, which is already too far away since I should get it done before the week ends. The parental says it's too early for her and books one for October 4th!!! I got mad of course, which lead to her reasoning about how she can't miss work. Work or your daughters teeth??? Apparently work ranks higher than I do. I feel so loved...
Dinner tonight was pizza. What the fuck?! I obviously can't eat pizza. Well I can, but it takes longer and I normally lose my appetite after the first slice and will probably complain of hunger later. And of course I got in trouble for eating just one slice. I didn't talk back cause from previous experiences I learned that I just end up in more trouble. Well guess what? I still got in trouble. FOr showing attitude and being such a drama queen. I figured I might as well act like a drama queen if I'm getting in trouble for it and left the table.
My older brother came home sick. My mother made him soup. He's 24 years old for crying out loud!!! Did I get soup when I was hurt? No. Her reason: "You're old enough." Fuck! Sure, I got a little bit of special treatment, but it was cancelled out by the constant reminder of the dental treatment costs that would come after. I guess a hug that I didn't want in the first place and a few tears were enough for me in her head.
I'm here now and still angered. I would go on, but apparently this isn't helping. I'm not even watching the season finale of Big Brother and what's even scarier is that I don't care.

Today was quite eventful.
It started off with my root canal which consisted of injections and mini-barfing from having the spit-sucker shoved down my throat. It was lovely. I now have two plastic or metal (most likely plastic) rods in my teeth instead of nerves. It makes a way cool x-ray.
I have to mention Cristina's reaction to my glasses-less face. "OMG!" I guess you had to be there... I look weird and feel so empty without them, but I guess that's the price I have to pay for perfect vision, which really bites. Oh how I wish I had perfect vision...
The day ended quite nicely when me and Cristina were graced with seeing the most beautiful thing on our walk home. We giggled like the little school girls we are for most of the walk. Hee hee!

Did you know that post-its have limited warranties??? I found out just now. My uncle from Maryland gave me a whole box of school supplies that he stole from work. I now have 8 staplers and a whole bunch of other stuff that I still have to look through. 8 STAPLERS!!! What the hell do I do with that many staplers??? They're not like pens, so it's not like I'll need 7 others incase I lose it. And I have to add the fact that not a single one of them is red!!! They're all black! Not that I have anything against black staplers.
I wore my contacts today. It took forever to put them on. The first one went in okay but since one eye can see and the other could not, it was hard to stick the other in. Then I put my glasses back on afterwards and throughout the day I kept trying to adjust them only they weren't on my face.
People were [amanda] again today. Cristina ranted, I laughed. HOT POTATO! Haha! Crazy conversations like the summer too.
I have a headache now. Too much computer I'm guessing.
Root canal on Monday. I have to go to school right after and take 2 tests, so they aren't gassing me this time. Just the injections. My endodontist chose the perfect day... He creeps me out. He's Asian too. Joy...
Oh and I can't forget. It has been confirmed that I will have the karaoke machine next weekend. But I don't know if people are allowed over. I lied. They are. But I don't know if my mom will be home or not. She's quite the nosey character so it's almost guaranteed she will watch at least stay for one song to hear us sing, which is not cool.
My sleeping bag awaits. Good night.

Friday was mall. My hair was green. The show was excellent. I stole a sign. The guy who looks like CHester from Ten Speed Hero walked by me and his thigh brushed up against mine. *giggles*
That's all I remember. Wait... I just lied. Lean Back! The crazy pointing. Now I'm done. I just lied again. Singing and dancing in the car on the way to the show.

I posted more pictures. My cousin is a teacher and another teacher from her school asked her students to write stuff about marriage. Some were hilarious and others were twisted. And in the last pic I love how the blurb just happened to be right over my face.
My aunt and uncle from Maryland are coming over tomorrow, which means we're going out for dinner. I better be able to make the show.
I finally uploaded the pictures from the trip. I'm SO happy that the ones at the reception didn't come out too well. The pictures should be up in my gallery and if they aren't that means I got lazy.
I got 100% on my guitar quiz. If only Calculus was as that easy...
Edit: Wow. I didn't realize how much pictures I had. I'm putting them up slowly. The ones up now are before the wedding and after.
1. The long walk to the strip. We finished those slurpees in 3 minutes.
2. I was fascinated by its size.
3. haha! I don't think this one needs explanation.
7. My dinner. I didn't wanna eat it cause it stared right back at me.
8. This guy was creepy.
10. Some water show. It was free. So of course we went.

At exactly 8:34 pm, the life I had thought to have lived was a complete lie.
cris.tina The Junction, Vulcan Dub Squad and more...friday night...$5. doors at 9pm. says:

Oh dear.

Wow. I can actually blog now.
I had 5 people posing as me. I wonder if I can get into the Guiness Book of World Records for that.
The BEST fortune from a fortune cookie ever: You love Chinese food.
There was an earwig in my LIfe Insurance envelope.
Hilary Duff wearing a Strokes' shirt in her video. What the fuck? I wanted to cry, but not really.
Green Day tickets are $40. Bah!
My contacts expire soon and I can't see the board even though I sit in front of most of my classes. If I don't start wearing them by Saturday, I give you all permission to kick me.
Oh yeah. Can't forget. People 'oooh-ed' during lunch. It was hilarious!

An Actual Update
First week of school wasn't that bad. It wasn't even a full week and the work is still pretty minor.
I have bio first period. It's not that bad, but it's my least favourite subject this semester. It's first thing in the morning and I don't really like the teacher all that much. I have data management second. I love that class. The teacher is hilarious (Chambers) and the math is not hard at all. I have calculus third with Menezes. I had her in grade 10 in the same classroom and I sit in the exact same seat. Weird... I sit next to Gina and she told me stories about her pet snails that she smuggled into Canada. They actually bite! I didn't even know they had teeth, but I kind of want a pet snail now. I sit with "the crew" at lunch. Katrina's song and dance was hilarious today. Even Cristina joined in. I couldn't cause that would just prove that I like Billie Joe. I think the real one is rapable, but not the fake one. To make things easier his new nickname is Wing Ding. Katrina was testing out fonts at the time. Anyways, I was excluded today but somehow found my way to the head of the table. Ha! I have Guitar last period and it's the best class ever!
I walk home cause my mom refuses to by me bus tickets and $1.05 won't get me anywhere. Where did my winnings go you ask. Well here's the answer: MY MOM HID IT FROM ME SAYING IT WAS FOR MY OWN GOOD. I get in trouble for having a hunched back, but I can't help it when I am forced to walk home with my textbooks. I complained twice in a row. Not healthy. I'll stop now.
Anyways, I walk home with Cristina and if we walk fast enough, with Sam as well. The walk home is hilarious. Too bad she only walks with me for 10 minutes. The other half hour is spent talking to myself or singing.
C: I'm gonna have sex with ___.
A: What kind of sex? (I meant for her to say ___SEX) (Yes, he deserves his own kind of sex)
C: Normal sex?
That probably makes absolutely no sense. I guess you just had to be there.
All the walks are hilarious and it's either spent yelling from anger or laughing our asses off. The Gopher Face makes a scene once in a while too.
I went to the mall today with Cristina and Andrew. We were an hour late! Oh the guilt for making him wait. Especially since he showed up early, for once. I got a penny. So now I have $1.06, which reminds me that OBREJA owes me money. Pay up please!

I just got in trouble because I wouldn't let my brother ride my bike. What the fuck?!?! It's MY bike. I got it because my mom wouldn't buy me one, while that same brother got 3. Each bike didn't even last a year cause he got them stolen. And the main fucking reason she wouldn't buy me one was because I wasn't responsible. I haven't even got a chance to ride it yet!!
"Why are you like this?"
And all I could do was laugh, which got me in more trouble. I have a feeling dinner tonight will be spicy (the only kind of food I can't eat). Grr... *pulls hair out*
I have never been this angry at her. I even feel like letting my rabbit run free in the house cause she's afraid of Tipsy.

Ignorance is bliss...
Ugh! I seriously am a curse!
I forgot to add this to my tooth post: (things I heard while at the dentist)
"All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!"
"This usually only happens to males."
"I was on vacation while this happened, but I saw the pictures. Why do I always miss the good stuff?!?!"
"I'll never forget you, so you can't forget me."
And every once in a while: "This is THE Amanda?!?!"
I have come to the conclusion that dentists are freaks.

I'm whole again!... but not entirely... I'm getting there at least.
I went to the dentist yesterday and was only expecting her to remove the wire. But she fixed my teeth! They're a bit too long, but she said she'll fix them another day. I love that dentist office. I'm famous there.

BEGAS BABY! (not Vegas, BEGAS!)
This can get long...
Day 1 (Friday):
Woke up uber early to get to the airport. My cousin ended up on the same flight that we were on. Unfortunately he didn't have the belt that he promised for me, but he said the next time I go visit him in Ottawa, he'll find one my size. The flight was excellent except for the food served. But then again airplane food is never good. The flight attendant gave me three brownies instead, so I was happy. And I got to throw my bean salad at people.
Walking out of the airport was like walking into an oven, or a someone's butt like my brother said. We checked into our hotel at noon and decided to visit the strip, since it was only noon. We (my brothers, Ryan, and I) could see 'The Mirage' (so ironic) from where we were staying and didn't want to pay for a cab, so we walked. Stopped at a corner store for slushies. They had slot machines in there too. It was the LONGEST walk ever! Just when we thought we were close, it looked like we were getting further away. We finally reached the damn strip and had our picture taken with Elvis. We walked all over the place: Bellagio, Caesar's Palace, The Venetian, Paris, The M&M Factory etc. Too many for me to remember. Around 4, my other cousins brought us to the Luxor, the pyramid-shaped building with the Sphynx (Donna would have enjoyed it). We ate there and went swimming. Some old dude was wearing a beige coloured speedo and looked like he was naked. *shudders* And some other guy was swimming in a thong. Then we all went to the church for the rehearsal. I was supposed to be paired up with the groom's nephew who was my age, but ended up with a 34 year old. I can't remember his name. The rehearsal dinner was at my cousin's place, which was quite a disappointment since we were expecting some fancy restaurant, but the food was great and I got to see my cousin's ginormous house. I got to meet and talk with all the groomsmen and bridesmaids and hang out with my cousins who I see only once a year. They threw me into the pool, which was refreshing and I got my present: another purse and some jewelry. People seriously have to stop with the purses. Around midnight, everyone left for the casinos and I was left behind with Nick (the kid I was supposed to paired up with) and my lil bro. Some of the grown-ups were there too. Anyways, us three raided the coolers and grabbed all the beers left. We drank in the laundry room. We snuck out and my mom saw me and Nick crawl out, which was not cool. My bro came out minutes after. She assumed the worst of course.
Day 2 (Saturday):
I had to wake up early and didn't feel too well because of the night before. I got to my cousin's house at 8. All the bridesmaids were there getting our make-up and hair done. I had the WORST headache ever and didn't bother trying to convince them to not put make-up on me. They made me look like Mulan! "We'll use neutral colours." "I won't use too much." Oh such lies! They made it better after. Then I got my hair done. There was a dress mix-up too, which brought more laughter.
We got to the church around 1. I was attacked by the papparazi, but not really! Close enough though. I shocked all of them. They had to look twice before they realized it was me.
The wedding was good. The groom cried and so did his groomsmen. All I heard was sniffling from the guys beside me. I was blinded with more flashes and then took the limo back to her place. I had a beer. We ate when we got there and went back on the limo to get to the reception area for some pictures. It was at an Indian reservation and the place was so pretty. On the way there, we stopped for more beer. I had 2 more. More pictures were taken and more beers were consumed. I saw a road runner and chased it. It looks nothing like the cartoon and I actually thought they didn't really exist. The reservation was in the middle of the desert and it was weird being surrounded by cacti. They're so cool.
The reception was extremely fun. It was open bar and I took advantage of that. Apparently I "danced" the whole night. I never had that much alcohol in my life. The groomsmen and bridesmaids had to join the couple during theire first dance together and I was stuck with some drunk guy. It was fun though. I had to take shots after dancing with the groom. It was green and really really minty. It burned my throat on the way down. I don't remember the rest of the night except for the limo ride home. I threw up on the way out.
After the wedding, we all got changed and they made me sing karaoke. I won first prize. $50 American. I'm rich! We walked around the strip again. I went home around 5.
Day 3 (Sunday):
We all went to my cousin's house. We spent the whole day at the pool. I got mildly sunburned on my face and my farmer's tan evened out. It was a chance for all the cousins, groomsmen, and bridesmaids to hang out. Around 5 we went to some restaurant in the Venetian for dinner. We had sushi and it was the best sushi ever. They have people covered in paint that stand still like statues. They have dollar bills around them and if they move, you can take the money. Even after my cousin humped him, he still didn't move. We also went for a gondola ride. Then we watched the water show at the Bellagio. Around 10 pm, they brought us to the airport.
The plane ride home was terrible. It was a really small plane and the turbulence was crazy. I seriously thought I was gonna die. Got back home around 7 am and fell asleep on my sleeping bag.
The trip was most excellent and was the perfect way to end summer. I found a penny and made some serious cash like I wanted. I left the souvenirs at the hotel. They were just trading cards of strippers but I'm sure everyone would have enjoyed it. They had people giving them out at the strip. They even offered them to me, which is quite creepy and they flicked/snapped the cards, which is quite amusing to watch. We all have to go sometime when we can gamble. And even if you have fears of losing a lot of cash, they have penny slots.
Today:
I went to Christina's for dinner and hung out at the lake.
This can get long...
Day 1 (Friday):
Woke up uber early to get to the airport. My cousin ended up on the same flight that we were on. Unfortunately he didn't have the belt that he promised for me, but he said the next time I go visit him in Ottawa, he'll find one my size. The flight was excellent except for the food served. But then again airplane food is never good. The flight attendant gave me three brownies instead, so I was happy. And I got to throw my bean salad at people.
Walking out of the airport was like walking into an oven, or a someone's butt like my brother said. We checked into our hotel at noon and decided to visit the strip, since it was only noon. We (my brothers, Ryan, and I) could see 'The Mirage' (so ironic) from where we were staying and didn't want to pay for a cab, so we walked. Stopped at a corner store for slushies. They had slot machines in there too. It was the LONGEST walk ever! Just when we thought we were close, it looked like we were getting further away. We finally reached the damn strip and had our picture taken with Elvis. We walked all over the place: Bellagio, Caesar's Palace, The Venetian, Paris, The M&M Factory etc. Too many for me to remember. Around 4, my other cousins brought us to the Luxor, the pyramid-shaped building with the Sphynx (Donna would have enjoyed it). We ate there and went swimming. Some old dude was wearing a beige coloured speedo and looked like he was naked. *shudders* And some other guy was swimming in a thong. Then we all went to the church for the rehearsal. I was supposed to be paired up with the groom's nephew who was my age, but ended up with a 34 year old. I can't remember his name.

My allergies were really bad this week. I kinda believe it's because school is starting soon. Ick.
I have nothing better to do, so this MAY be long.
Donna came over on Tuesday and we watched 'Hero'. It was good. A lot of people wouldn't appreciate its artsy-ness, but I did. Quentin Tarantino's name was not shown in the credits and I could have sworn that the previews said he directed it. Then I pulled out my old yearbooks and showed them to Donna. She laughed at my 'fat year'. We look like the 6th graders in some of them and the seniors looked like they were 25 and above. Then she raided my closet for something I could wear for the switch. She found a skirt and a top that matched perfectly, but the top was not meant for uber hot days. We found another outfit, but she thought it wouldn't shock people as much. We finally agreed that if I wore the skirt, they wouldn't do my hair or make-up, but if I just wore the capris, they would have to 'girlify' me and I would have to do a dare. I obviously chose the latter, but Donna gave the WORST dare ever! Too terrible to mention... Anyways, the switch didn't go through due to Donna's morals, but it will happen in the near future. Preferably while it's still warm.
On Wednesday, I walked to Donna's house. She was still blow-drying her hair and it was quite amusing to watch. She heard my devil voice. When Sam got there, we headed off to Katrina's to drop off her bike and my stuff. Cristina was already there watching Asian porn (I am not lying) and us 5 headed off to Nolan's. Longest walk EVER, but fun cause we sang most of the way there. Too much happened at the BBQ:
- the curry freak out
- Katrina's obscene actions
- Hippy Circle
- food fight
- almost finding our fourth
- the bug bites
- certain moments during the soccer game
We only found out about the shortcut when heading back home. It took 5 minutes. We met Donna and Sam and then headed off to Lucas Pizza. Me and Cristina watched 'It Takes Two', while Katrina figured out the rest of the plans for the night. Cristina wouldn't shut up during the good parts of the movie. "YOU'LL GET PNEUMONIA" (she pronounced the "P")
Then we camped out in Katrina's backyard.
Today we ate at Chan's, which is the same place we had the reception for my grandma's funeral. I got a copy of her will for her jewelry and diamond earrings. I also inherited $1000. And I can't forget to mention those brown bastards who yelled, "Hey look! Chinese!" out of their pathetic excuse for a car. I told them to go home and die. I hope they listened to me. I'm tired of blogging.
