Snowboarding

My left ankle, both my knees, my right wrist, both my elbows, my back, my right butt cheek... PAIN PAIN PAIN!!!

Yesterday Jen, her brother conner and her cuzin zak came by my house and picked me up to go snowboarding at 9am. A few dayz earlier, I told jen that I didnt have any real winter wear, since I'm mostly living off a scary and a light jacket which a huge sweater under it for now. So she said she'd get me snowpants lol...

After about 1 and a half hour drive, we made it to the mountains. We all got changed, and they also gave me a real winter jacket and gloves, which later turned out to be lifesavers! Then we went and got ours rented snowboards and boots.

At 11am, our personal trainer that came with the rented snowboards gave us a few lessons for an hour. I pretty much failed every lesson lmao... but so did zak :P haha. Conner was like a pro since he's gone snowboardin be4... jen on the other hand had been snowboarding be4, but only once, so she was about just as bad as us haha.

The lesson went by REALLY fast, and when the hour finished, we were on our way up the giant mountain on one of those lifts. The lift was about 3minutes long, so you can imagine how high we went!

We got off the lift and were standing on top of thise HUGE course... I didnt know how big it waa since from where we were standing, all I could see was about 100meters of a pretty flat easy course. It was called "Easy Street" Ha! Yeah right!

So conner went first, and he just zoomed ahead of us, but waited for us to catch up every 200meters lol. When I went down, it was pretty hard to go down forwards, so I mostly went downhill backwards. I know it sounds weird, but I cant really explain it lol... I was facing up the mountain while I was goin down... this way, it was easier for me to keep my balance :P

While I snowboarded like that, I still had to turn and face downwards, which made me gain speed really fast, but then I'd turn back facing up the mountain, which slowed me down cuz I used the "break system".

A lot of the time, I would face down the mountain, which would give me A LOT of speed, and I would be going so fast that when I tried to turn and slow down I would actually jam my board into the snow accidentally, which would lift me up into the air, hit the snow really hard, and totally flip my board and I at least once. It looked really bad when I fell, but it didn't hurt to much lol.

The fall that hurt the most was when I would be going down backwards pretty fast, and accidentally jam the board into the snow and I'd fall REALLY hard on my ass! I did that about at least 10 times. My ass hurt so0o much! lol

All these falls happened at least 5 times during my first run of the course, and it was a really huge course.

During our 2nd run of the course, jen fell really bad on her knee, and knee problems run through her family, and her knee has already been injured a while ago.. so when she fell on it. she heard a loud crack, and just sat where she was until we all got to her. We took off her snowboard, and zak told her to stretch it out, and when she did, she felt another crack, and it felt better. But she said it still hurt. So we chilled in the middle of the track, with people racing down the hill beside us, just waitin for jen to feel better. After about 10minutes, we were all up and ready to start falling again! Yeah! The course was about 10minutes long, but took us about 30minutes haha!

After that run of the course, we all went inside for lunch. I shared a small poutine with jen and I had some mountain due. Which was a pretty bad idea, cuz my stomach started hurtin me since I barely ate anything all day and just had a huge drink of soda. But after a while I felt better.

Jen and I chilled in the lounge, while zak and conner went snowboarding. We listened to music infront of the fireplace, and then noticed that over the fireplace, which was made of bricks, every brick has someone's name on it, there were at least 200 bricks with names on them. So I wanted to add us! I grabbed a small rock from the fireplace and looked around, and found an empty brick. I carved in "Ahmad + Jen" on a brick! Isn't is awsum? lol



Then I went over it with a pencil that I found in my pocket to make it more clear, but since I'm left handed, when I finished writing, my hand was all gray and the lead on my name was kinda smugged, but jen fixed it up lol.

Then we started looking around at what other people wrote, and I found this!!! LMAO!



We then got back to the mountain, where we ran into jen's dad. I felt kinda weird since I was wearing his snow outfit lol.

We all went up the lift again, but since conner and zak were getting pretty cocky, they went down "zoomer" which was a harder course, but they would meet us in the middle of our course cuz thats where the 2 courses met up. So jen and I went down easy street, and to my amazement, I was doin pretty good! Halfway through the track, we all decided that jen and I would go down once more, and zak and conner would go down 2 more times.

The next time we did the course, we finished it really fast, and everyone wanted to go a few more times, so we ended up going about 4 more times lol.

On our last course down, before we were to go home, we were almost right at the end of the course, when zak falls pretty hard. Jen snowboards past him and laughs. I fell a bit after him, beside jen. Conner went to zak to see what was up. So jen and I just sat there waitin for them to get up. Conner then yelled out to jen to come over, so we both did. Zak was in so0o much pain.

An instructor came by and asked if anythin was wrong, and zak said his wrist was killing him. So the instructor asked if zak would want a sled to take him down, but he said he'd rather walk, I think mostly because earlier that day, we were talking about hos embarrassing it would be to have to take down a sled lol. I actually wanted to go down the sled :P

So they took zak into the little medical place they had and jen and I waited outside. After about 15minutes, they said zak's wrist was dislocated.

We then drove to the hospital and zak had an x-ray, and the x-ray guy said zak's wrist is probably broken, but he'll have to wait for the doctor to check to make sure.

When we all walked through the hospital, we all looked retarded lol, cuz jen was limping like crazy cuz of her knee, I was just really stiff cuz it hurt everywhere, zak had his arm brace and conner... well that bastard didn't hurt himself. lol We all waited for another 30minutes. Zak's parents came... and then we had to leave.

I still dont know what happened to zak exactly, since when I got home at 7pm, I fell asleep RIGHT away cuz I was so worn out, and woke up at 8am! LOL!

Well I just asked Jen, and she said zak broke his arm/wrist in 3 different places and has a cast from his fingers to his shoulder =/ sucks to be him.

The funny thing is... ealier in the day, I said I wanted to break a bone cuz I've never done it before, and that it would be cool to go down the sled. LOL, now I kinda feel bad :P

When I woke up, I tried getting out of bed, but it took me about 10 minutes to do that! I couldn't lift myself up because my arms were hurting so much, and my legs were no help either. I just laid there for a bit, then finally gathered up enough energy to pull myself out of bed.

I still havent had breakfast yet... I'm soo0o stiff I can barely walk. I'm supposed to go to rideau mall tody with jenarth... But I think I'ma have to cancel! Oh and I got paid today! Finally! I spent my last paycheck in 3 dayz, so I've been broke for the past 11 dayz! Plus I have to give everyone's money back who I've borrowed from lol...

Well I'm go take some advil to try and make myself feel better... Cyaz!

Long Overdue Blog - illscarlet - stickam

Ahh! Havent blogged in so0o0o long! I have so much to talk about! I havent felt up to blogging lately, and I dont really feel like doin it now either lol, but I was workin on my template, as you can see, I've added my stickam onto this site :D So now you can watch me live :P

Well a long time, I went to the Illscarlet concert! My friends were stupid and wanted to go early so to be first in line! the doors open at 7pm, but we showed up at 4pm. After an hour, we were FREEZING like crazy!!! After about an hour and a half, the band came by and told us to wait inside, since it was so cold outside, but it was just about as cold inside lol.

By 6:50pm, they told us to wait outside, people only started coming to line up at 6pm lmao! So we lined up outside... doors didnt open till 7:30. We didnt have tickets, cuz we heard they were gonna sell em at the door. When the doors opened, they didnt let us in, they said only people with tickets were allowed in! So we were pissed. Since Suad knew the door guy, so he told her to come back in an hour, and then he'll see if there's anymore room.

So we went to a nearby pizza place, and met this guy. We all chilled and has this HUGE ass pizza. I think it was like XLARGE. After the pizza, I really had to go to the bathroom. So I went, and when I went to flush, my cell phone slipped outa my pocket and into the toilet right when I flushed!!!! I watched my cellphone getting flushed, I was really scared it would go into the pipes. Luckily it didnt. When the toilet was refilling with new water, I stuck my hand into the toilet and took my cell out! I wrapped my cell phone in toilet paper! trying to dry it off... It was still turned on. While I was trying to dry my cell, I took out the battery, to dry out under it. When I put the battery back in and turned it on, it came on for like 5 seconds, then turned off! SO I wrapped it in more toilet paper and stuck it in my pocket.

I told my friends, and they laughed... I would have too if it didn't happen to me.

So at 8:30, we went to the concert, and they let us in after we paid for the tickets. We got in, and chilled. Half an hour later the first opening band started playing. I felt really out of place in the center front cuz I'm pretty tall, and I was kinda blockin a few people's views, and I wasn't standing that close to my friends, so I just moved out of the crowd.

While I was roaming around the place, I met these 2 REALLY cool women. One was 28 and one was 27. They looked 19!!! lol I chilled with them while the next opening band played. By 11:30, the opening bands JUST finished... Illscarlet didnt even come out yet.

I knew that the buses that took me home didnt run to late, so I left the concert... When I got to the bus stop, I found out that the last bus that took me home came in 10minutes! Right on time...

So that day wasn't that good, but I didnt really mind, since I never even heard a single song from illscarlet haha!

The next day, I tried putting my phone on, it turned on, but when I pressed a single button, the phone would do a million things at once! A few friends of mine told me to turn it off, and let ir dry for a few days. So I did, and to my surprise, when I turned it on 3 days later, IT WORKED! I was so0o excited lol.

Well I'm on xmas holiday now! No skewl till Jan 7th! I have a chemistry and math project to work on. Thats about it... Just gonna work... I also need to do the rest of my volunteer hours for school... or else I cant graduate. My mom keeps nagging me to get my G1 so I can drive... I'll prob do that soon too.

I might go snowboarding with Jeniffer this thursday! But I get paid on friday lol. I might just borrow some money from my family.

Well thats it for now I guess, I'm pretty sure a lot more shit happened since I last blogged, but I cant think of anything right now! Cya all At a later time! Peace out!

So I went upstairs to talk to HR!

And I had to talk to the "boss"

Shez a WOMAN!

She started talkin about why I was there... and I told her... I pretty much started begging, saying I love the job, and I'd HATE to be fired.... I even said I'll work free hours lmao! I really didnt wanna get fired from that job.

She looked a bit apprehensive... but then was like "hmmm.... ok, I'll let you stay, but if I see your name on my computer noe more time during the next 2 months, I'll have to terminate you unles you have a good reason like you did today" I was so0o0o happy!! I kept thanking her lol.

I still have my job!!! yay!!! She told me to go downstairs and talk to the scheduling guy... and schedule my hours for the rest of the week.

Happy Happy Joy Joy! I'm gonna try my harest to delete my current attentance infractions. I need to work another 248 more hours until they are erased lol...

Me happy for now :)

Can I Keep My Job?

Today's been such a BAD day!!! Since I got a zero tolerance warning from work yesterday about being late, I woke up early today, and tried my best to be on time. 15minutes before I was to leave for the bus, I notice my iPod is frozen... after a quick look on google I found out hot to unfreeze it... but took me about 10minutes to actually do it right. By that time I had to rush out the door to catch the bus... and I did... Unfortunately, when the bus arrived, I realized I didn't have mu bus pass with me! So I asked the bus driver is if it was ok if I can get on, and he said it was...

I also forgot my money and my ID card for work. Which meant no lunch for me. But later my cuzin Sarah gave me one of her sandwiches she got from her house. Yum.

So during the day... I was getting pretty bored, and I recently found out that we were able to get onto the internet on our computers at work. So I tried getting on and it worked... I opened my facebook, and checked my blog site and that was it...

About 30minutes later, 3 supervisors come to the computer right next to mine and open facebook and one of them was like "So thats how they did it..." I got pretty scared... it meant they already caught some people opening the net at work.

About 15minutes later, one of the supervisors asks me if she can use my computer for a seconds. So I get up, and she opens the internet on my computer and checks the history, and finds facebook. I tried deleting the history beforehand but it didn't work. :( So the supervisor tells me to go to the board room.

I get there... freaked out... waited for about 5minutes then 2 supervisors come in... One of them starts talking about how its so0o against the call center policy and stuff like that, and its a written warning. Later she had me sign the written warning saying I was on the net and that I admitted to it and blah blah blah. Then she said my hours for the rest of the week were to be deleted and that I'd have to go home immediately. I was like WHOA!

She said I'll have to come in tomorrow to talk to HR, which is like the top of the work ladder. From there, HR will decide what they'll do with me.

I'm freaked cuz I already have a zero tolerance thing for attendance... now I have this... AHH!! I luv this job and I'd hate if I get fired :(

Guess we'll find out tomorrow... Wish me luck.

iPod Nano - Cell - Sick

Hey people, lots to say... except I'm pretty sick, so I'm try to keep it short lol.

I bought an iPod nano a few days ago :D



Lol and the funny thing is, is that I have that video in my silver ipod nano (the Ok Go on treadmills" haha I luv my ipod :D at work, sometimes I get bored so I play solitaire on my ipod lol. Took me a few hours to finally get the hang of the iPod when I connected it to my computer lol, but I finally got it :P

And about 2 dayz ago my older bro bought me a cell phone :D I have UNLIMITED text messaging!!! And free calling after 6pm, and free all day on weekends. And 250 free minutes during the day each month. The cell itself has the simcard inside it... so I cant switch phones... which kinda sucks. But its like an mp3 phone, and it has a slot for a memory card, but I dont have one yet.



It snowed for the first time 2 days ago!!! Well it snowed a few dayz earlier, but it melted as soon as it touched the ground, but when I woke up 2 dayz ago, EVERYTHING was covered in about 2 inches of snow!

Then the next day it snowed even more! At first I was all happy and excited, by the 2nd day, it just started to get annoying lol, cuz at certain times I had to walk through about 3-4inches of snow with my normal shoes, and my jeans would get all wet, and my toes would be freezing. I really need to go shopping for some winter clothes! I'm getting paid tomorrow... so I guess I'll do that soon.

So I've been sick since yesterday... I had a spare 3rd and 4th period, so I went home at lunch cuz my stomach was killing me... my aunt gave me somethin to make me feel better, but it was disgusting, and I ended up puking in the toilet. First time I've puked in A LONG time! Was really cool lol, everything just came out so0o0o fast! Haha

Then I went back to school cuz I was supposed to go to moe's house, then from there we'd go to work together. So I chilled at his place, played some Xbox, listened to music... then when it was time for us to go to work, I started feeling REALLY tired and nauseas. So I called my job and told them I couldnt make it cuz I wasn't feelin well... then moe called in too lol to cancle his shift (cuz we both needed to study for our chem test anyways)

So I took the bus back home, I had to take like 3 buses... it was a bitch. When I got to the stop right before the stop i was gonna get off at, I started feelin all dizzy and wanting to puke. So I got off right away and as soon as I stepped off the bus, I PUKED! About 3 times right after each other. No1 was around to see it lol.

So I dragged myself home... I'm pretty sure I looked drunk, cuz I felt so0o weak and tired.

So I got home... went to sleep right away at around 7pm. Woke up a few times during the night... then finally got up at 8am... but still felt like shit so I didnt go to skewl. I have a chemistry test today, but I'm hoping my techer will let me do it on monday.

Cya all when I feel better.

First High Skewl Dance

I've been waitin for the dance for about a week. I was so0o excited when the day finally came! Me and Shaina (my dance date) decided to meet up at baseline bus station since she didnt know where my skewl was. The dance started at 7:30 so we decided to meet up at 7pm.

I got to baseline station at 6:50pm... waited at Quickie (supermarket) where I told her to be... by 7:10 she wasn't there, so I walked around the station looking for her... couldnt find her... The next bus to my skewl was at 7:45 so I decided to keep waitin, hopefully she'll show up sooner than later.

Unfortunately, I was wrong.

At 7:40 I called her house from a payphone... I asked if shaina was home, and here sister was like "yea one sec" thats when it hit me... I felt like shit... I talked to her on the phone, and he excuse was that she went to baseline from 7pm-7:10pm and then left cuz she didnt see me... I told her to meet me at quickie but she wasn't paying attention to our msn convo at the time... She asked her dad if she was able to go out at the time... but he didnt let her...

So there I was... At baseline station, alone... dateless for the dance that had already started...

Then 3 girls and my cuzin sarah come by! So I tagged along with them to the dance!

So when I got to the dance, sarah went off with her girlfriends and I stood around awkwardly... I felt so0o out of place... about 30minutes later, Moe got there (I was gonna go with him if shaina didnt show up, as FRIENDS lol losers) so he finally got there... we both went inside... and our innocent eyes were no longer virgins... LMAO All you could see was guys on girls, girls on girls, girls on guys GRINDING like MAD!!! I mean... this was like next level shit! It was REALLY disturbing, cuz I knew a few people that were grinding... it was so wrong. Everyone seemed to be doing it, and that was like the only kind of dancing they were doing =/ The last dance I've been to was a middle school dance lol... so you can tell I was surprised.

It all looked REALLY cool, cuz of all the glow sticks and black light, so everything white was glowing plus they were handing out free glow sticks.

Plus, almost everyone was drunk... I saw this innocent girl I know, and she was drunk out of her mind... she looked like she was gonna puke, she left the dance after like 30minutes. I felt really bad for her.

Anyways... so since everyone was so dirty and nasty, I chilled with moe, then I started talking to this girl in my chemistry class, and she was with her friend... so we all chilled together outside the dance (since none of us dirty danced like that). When a good song came on (I think it was stronger - kanye west) Me and Jill (the girl in my chem class' friend) danced like NORMAL people lol.

When Soulja boy came on, EVERYONE was doin the dance, so I joined in! I dont know ALL the dance moves, but at least I didnt stick out like a sore thumb lol.

Then gimme more - britney came on, and I HAD to dance with ANYONE, so I saw this not so slutty looking girl, so I went up and started dancin beside her, and her friend was like to me "grind on her!!" I was like "Looooooooool! Hell no!" So girl kinda lost interest after about 50 seconds lol.

For the rest of the concert, me, moe, jill, and lesley (chem class friend) chilled together right outside the doors of the dance.

It was a pretty crappy time... But this doesnt mean I'm not goin to anymore dances... I just need to go with the right people...

I even ironed my shirt!!! LMAO

The past is in the past...

I need someone whoz 18+ to friggen sign a plan for my cell phone!!! And I also have to buy an ipod... I decided I'll buy an 8GB ipod nano. Its about $200 in the stores. I think its worth it :)

Cya for now.

Got Paid! :D

I finally got paid!!! I'm so0o0 happy! My first real paycheck :D LOL I feel so0o rich, I pretty much have more money than i can spend :P This is the first time in my life where I actually OWN $425!

My plans for the money is to get a sim card ASAP and also buy an Ipod!

Woot!

Not much been goin on lately, thats why I have blogged in so long. But I did see Laureen, who I haven't seen in 6 years. We went to our old school and to our old neighborhood and visited a few old friends. Was pretty cool.

School dance tomorrow! So0o excited! Cya All Soon!

Feist - Ipod Mini - Work - School

I cant get "feist - 1234" out of my head!!! It's been in my head since like 8am lmao! I luv it so0o much!!! I first saw it on an ipod mini commercial! Take a look at it!



Isn't the video awsum! lol, after watching it on tv so many times, you learn to love it :P. I went ahead of myself and got you guys the full video for the song. It's actually really cool, I love how its all in one shot! Just like her other song "my moon my man". Here's the full "feist - 1234" video! :D



Haha... awsum... Anyways, I was at skewl the other day, and a friend of mine had an ipod mini... and all I can say is WOW!!! Me want!!! haha. it's so friggen small and slim and big screened!!! I'm gonna save up for one :D Probably gonna get a 6GB one or 8GB :P Unless anyone wants to buy me an early birthday present :D haha

Today I had an 8hour shift at work. It was from 9am - 5pm. So I set my alarm to 7:30am, and then I put another alarm at 8:10am because the 2nd alarm would tell me to leave the house and walk about 5minutes to the far bus stop, since the one near my house didn't have the bus I wanted at the time I wanted it to come.

Anyways, I wake up to my alarm at 7:30am... then turn it off lol... Thinking back to it now, I thought I put it on snooz, but turns out I turned it off. So I fell back asleep. I wake up again at 8:10 to the ringing of my 2nd alarm! I totally freaked out! I havent gotten dressed, eaten, or anything! So I got up REALLY fast, got dressed, got my stuff together and RAN to the bus stop. I didnt even get to eat anythin. I finally make it to the bus stop... 5minutes LATE!!! So I had to wait in the cold for another 30minutes! Since the buses dont run as frequently on sunday's. I sat there in the cold until my bus came.

I ran to work from my stop, and I arrived there 15minutes late! I walk in... and it was EMPTY! I was like wtf?? I saw 2 girls walking out of the office, and I asked them what was going on... I thought maybe they were giving everyone a day off lol. So when I asked them, they told me I was early... and I was like "umm no... I'm 15minutes late" and then one of them mentioned that last night we were supposed to set our clock one hour BACK! I was an hour early!!!

So I went to Tim Hortens and had a bagel with cream cheese and some hot chocolate lmao! Such a 10year old's meal, but I didnt know wut to order, so shut up :P I saw a few people from work there, so I just chilled with them. When the time came, we all went to work (on time lol)

I sat beside a friend of mine (Jeff). During my 8 hour shift, I made 287 calls! The project I was doing made calls really fast, while people around me only got a call like once every 2 minutes, I got one about once every 30 seconds! Out of those 287 calls, I completeed 15 surveys :D I was so0o happy lol!

Jeff was doing a harder survey, and he got 7 survey's completed, and the supervisors gave him a little coupon for free chips from subway! I so0o wanted lmao!

This week I have so many assignments, tests, and a mid-term! Ahh! I decided not to work during this week since I'll need to study, except I'm working on monday and friday. But those wont interrupt my studyin :P

Oh, as I mentioned before (I think) My school is having a "black light dance" and I found someone to go with me :D yay! lol... her name's shaina (aka the robot! lol jenarth :P) It's in 2 weeks. Friday the 16th. Cant wait for my first high school dance!

Thats it for now!!! Cya soon ;)

Halloween

Halloween night... and I'm at home.... its 8:30 right now... and it SUCKS!

I got off work at 7:30... and didn't have any plans... I called up bryan, but he was workin late tonight, and a couple of other people were already trick or treating... So I was like "screw it".

Hmmm... I really thought I would have a lot of fun this halloween... considering it's the first one I've had in 4 years!

There's going to be a "Black Light" dance at my school on friday the 16th. I really wanna go! But I can't really go with anyone from my school, cuz I'm not that close to anyone yet... I'ma ask an old friend from a different school if she wants to tag along... I've never been to a high school dance, and I really wanna check out the whole atmosphere and everything.

Guess I'll talk to you all later. CYA

Quit - Hired!

I called in "sick" at harvy's on Saturday... and then the manager was like "yea... i know you've got another job, so I'm going to let you do your thing with that. I'll scratch out your name on the schedule and you can just bring in the uniform and drop it off." I was going to quit anyways, so I was like "haha ok..." Then I went to my brother who also quit on friday, and asked him how the manager knew I had another job, and he said "when I was quitting, he asked me if you were quitting too, so I said, I dont know... but he has another job" DAMN! My brother's an idiot!!! Anyways, I dont care cuz I was gonna quit anyways :)

Today (sunday) was my first day at opinion search (after my training). I didnt know how much work it was, and I really didnt have anything to do all day on sunday, so I decided to work from 1pm to 9pm, an 8 hour shift. I sat beside this lebanese girl, and a yemeni guy... After each call... we would just wait for the next one to come, usually about a minute or so. And during that time, I talked to both of them. They were both really cool lol... but I talked to the yemeni guy cuz the girl kept coming and going, I had no idea wut she was doin lol.

Anyways... the guy got off work at 5pm, so I worked alone for the rest of the time (another 4 hours). Surprisingly enough, I wasn't drained or pissed off at all... there were times when I was starting to get frustrated when everyone would just hang up, but when I finally completed a whole survey, my spirit was lifted and I'd be all happy again :P

The first survey I was doing was friggen 40minutes long to complete!!! The others were about 20minutes to complete. After like halfway through the survey, I start feeling sorry for them because it takes so long lmao. I saw my cuzin Sarah there... while I was in the middle of a call, she tapped me on the back and waved to me, when I got off the call, I couldnt find where she went, so I didnt see her for the rest of the day.

Thats pretty much it for my first day... I'm working from monday to thursday this week from 4:30pm-7:30pm. Then I'll have to make a new schedule :) I love how I pick my own hours! I feel so in control! :P

Training at Opinion Search

Today I had 5 hours of training for Opinion Search! From 4pm toll 9pm... but for some reason, after school ended (3:05pm) I thought my training started at 5pm... so I kinda took my time getting home and getting ready. Then I checked the sheet, and it said 4-9pm!!! I was like shit!!!! By that time it was already 3:45pm... the bus left at 3:42pm plus the next one was in another 20minutes! So I was obviously going to be late!

The bus finally comes at 4:02pm then there was a half hour bus ride there... I finally arrives at 4:30. Some women that works there lead the way to the training room... I walk into, and I see a HUGE oval table with about 20 teenagers sitting around it, and some guy standing in the front talking. I really didn't think there were going to be so many people! I apologized for being late, but he said that they were actually just about to start, they were just filling out paper work. He told me what to do with my paper work, and I did it all in about 10minutes.

For the next 4 hours... we all just sat there and listening to the guy talk, then a women came in, and pretty much just repeated what the guy said, and then another guy came in and talked some more!! It was so0o0o0o boring!!! They talked about EVERYTHING, like how we're supposed to communicate over the phone, our tone, how to reply to offensive people, or people who lose track of the survey. Then also stuff like how everything is confidential, and that we're not allowed to talk about ANY of the answers we get, or what kind of questions we were asking. The guy even said that we cant mention it in a blog or facebook. He said they sometimes type in "opinion search" and the company name they're doing the survey for in google, and find whoever is talking about it! LMAO!!!

Finally, at 8:30pm we get to use the computers and learn how to connect to a caller and how to survey, enter our data, and how to turn off the survey stuff. It was all pretty simple, but we needed to remember a few pointers here and there.

I also met this guy named brian... When i saw him, I felt like I knew him from somewhere, so I went up to him during our 15minute break and asked his name, hoping it would ring a bell, but it didn't... He also said that he thought he knew me from somewhere lol... He said he lives in a certain part of ottawa, and I know a couple of people from there, so I named 'em but he didn't know them lol :P We just chilled for the rest of the day (our computers were beside each other). He was pretty cool. But he's going to be working the day shifts which sucks cuz I'll be working the evening shifts, so probably the only time I'll even see him is maybe on the weekends at work.

My cuzin sarah also works there, we're both starting our first week together. In the end of the lectures, they asked us to circle the shifts we'd like to take for the following week (Saturday - Friday) The only thing I knew at the time was that I had work at harvy's for saturday and sunday, but I didn't know the rest of the week's schedual. I had to work at least 16 hours each week, so I put monday to thursday, 4:30pm - 7:30pm... and on sunday from 5pm - 9pm. I really hope my 2 jobs dont overlap lol, but I'm pretty sure they will.

I'm really thinking of quitting harvy's. I get paid like $75 tomorrow... and plus I really dont like working in fast food places, I only accepted to work cuz I couldnt find anything else. Hmm.... I'm going to try to see how "Opinion Search" is... before I just quit harvy's.

Ahh! and when I got home, at about 10pm, I had to write up a whole chemistry lab report which is due at midnight tonight! I had to hand it in through e-mail to my teacher. I wrote it up really fast in about an hour lol... I think its a pretty crappy lab report, but whatever :P And the thing is... I didnt find out I had to hand it in until TODAY! You see... he usually just picks 10 random people's names from a bowl, which means they have to hand it in (this is 1 week prior to the due date) and then on the day the lab is due, he picks 3 more random names who have to hand it in that day! So he picked my name, and so I had to get started real fast! LOL.

Well tomorrow is friday.... and I planned this little stupid reunion lmao!!! On facebook I created an event called "Leslie Park ReUnion" It was supposed to bring everyone from my class over all the 8 years in leslie park together. Currently, there's 3 people attending (including me) and about 7 people saying maybe, 2 people saying no, and 8 people who haven't replied lol. Since I got nothing better to do, I'm going to SRB after skewl tomorrow to meet up with jenarth. Sinc jenarth lives literally 15seconds walking from leslie park, we're gonna see if anyone shows up :P I wouldnt be surprised if nobody did lol.

Thats all folks!

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus Concert!

Yesterday was so0o amazing!!! One of the best dayz of my life!!! :D

I'll just skip the whole skewl day, cuz it was dull.

Well I met up with bryan at rideau mall, and from there, we were supposed to walk to the concert area. But both of us didnt exactly know where it was. Thankfully, I had the directions written on my cell! We followed the instructions halfway, then kinda got lost! Bryan went into his cousin's tattoo shop and asked for directions... and they told him where to go. He led the way for a bit, then we both just stopped and looked around lmao... cuz we had no idea what we were doing! I finally ran into a girl I know who was also going to the concert, and she told me its just down the street (where we just came from!) So we went back and found it :D

There was a line up of about 30 people when we got there (1hour before the doors open). I found courtney and her friend FIRST in line :D So we butt ahead of everyone and we were 2nd :P So we all chilled for another hour an a bit... it was pretty damn cold!!! Here are some pics :P



Courtney: STTEELLLAAAA!!!!!!!
LMAO!!!! To0o funny :D

Then the doors OPENED!!!! I was so hyped! All four of us got in, and right behind us were 2 other girls I know from school. We were all the first one's in, so we ran right to the stage. We were literally 2 meters away from the stage!!! We were there during the whole concert :D

Bit by bit, people starting arriving, and not before long, it was packed! It wasnt a really big place. I heard it can only hold up to 500 people. There were also people in balconies!



The first band to come out was "Monty Are I" I had no idea who they were, but when they started playing, it was AMAZING!!! I actually liked this band out of all 4!!! Including The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus! LOL They played for like half an hour which was awsum!!! The lead singer even got off the stage and came right beside the railing! I touched him! Yes, TOUCHED! haha!!! It was so friggen cool!



OMG! While the lead singer of Monty Are I was beside us, he kissed my friend on the cheek!!!! Lucky bastard!!! haha!!

Then they got off, and there was about a 15minute period where there was only background music, and no band on stage. So I got to know these 2 really cool girls! Emilie and Christine (and their friends, like 4 other girls) They were really cool.

The 2nd band was "New Years Day". The lead singer was a girl... and she SUCKED! lol! The audience BARELY applauded when she finished each song. Anyways, I took a few pics of her... But I didnt want to waist my battery on her :P



After that band, came Amber Pacific. EVERYONE went crazy! I personally didnt know them lol... but I took lots of pics cuz Bryan luvs that band. They were very energetic though :D Pretty awsum! The guitarists started throwing their guitar picks into the crowd throughout the performance, and I caught one :D I was so0o0o happy!!! Haha! I wanted to give it to a friend, cuz I wasnt a big fan of Amber Pacific. but both Bryan and Courtney wanted it! I really didnt know how to decide... Bryan already caught the "playlist" which was a paper with the titles of each song that was played, that theband used to see wut song they would sing next! He even got it with a drop of sweat on it! Haha! In the end, Courtney ended up getting it lol... cuz Bryan was just like "fine, just give it to her!" LOL



During the interval between Amber Pacific and The Red Jumpsuit Appratus, which was about half an hour, Emilie asked me if I'd go with her into the MOSHPIT! Now a moshpit is when the audience makes a big circle, and people jump into it and like GO CRAZY! Bumping and bouncing off eachother while the band plays CRAZY ass music! And if someone in the moshpit was pushed to the sidelines (the audience), the people would push them right back in! I was pretty hesitant to go lol... cuz during other bands, the moshpits looked scary!!! But I said yes :D its an experience :D Emilie and I decided to go halfway though RJA's concert.

When RJA came out, the crowd went WILD!!! My ears hurt so0o much!!! LOL! They were really good! I only knew 2 songs for em lol "Face Down" and "Your Guardian Angle"



They sang about 3 songs, until emilie asked me to go to the moshpit! We knew if we went, we wouldnt be able to get our spots back, cuz everyone was pushing their way to the front. I didnt mind, cuz the show was almost over anyways. So emilie and I push out way out of the crowd into the middle of the audience (where the moshpit usually was). We waited till the band played a crazy song, and then a bunch of people started jumping around and ramming eachother! Emilie help my hand and we jumped into the moshpit! Both of us got slammed everyone lol! Someone elbowed me in the back, but it didnt hurt :P By the end of the moshpits, I was sweating like crazy!

Emilie was so0o tiny, cmopared to everyone else in the moshpit! So both of us went into the sides. Just pushing everyone back into the moshpit! Later, when other moshpits were formed, i would jump in for about 15 seconds (which was a long time!) then jump back out to emilie! LOL

While we were in the back, Emilie wanted to go "crowd surfing" which is when we lift her up and the crowd move her around over them. I thought it was an awsum idea, so I went down to pick her up, and a guy nearby lifted her up with me, people were actually starting to hold her and try to move her around, but then we put her down, and then about 4 big guys working there were forcing themselves on the guy who helped me pick emilie up! I wasn't sure if it was because he lifted her up, or for something else, so emilie and I ducked and pretty much ran to the other side of the conert lmao! We looked back and saw the staff pretty much fighting the the guy... they even had their hands on eachother's clothing (like when u grab someone). After a while, I noticed everything cooled down :P

We both chilled in the back area, singing along to the songs. I even recorded us singing along! haha!

After a few more songs, the concert was just about over, so Courtney and her friend maggie went downstairs to by the bands' merchandise. When the concert was over, I went downstairs and met up with courtney and maggie. They had 2 bags full of band crap in em. They noticed I didnt buy anything, and I told em I didnt have any money on me, so they lent me $25 which was enough to buy a t-shit, album, and a poster! Of course I went to Monty Are I's stand :D Me and Emilie took pics with Monty Are I's guitarist! We also got his autograph. I REALLY wanted to find the lead singer, but I he was nowhere to be found (the next day I found out that the girl in my school got pics with the whole Monty Are I band!!) I luv this t-shirt I got!



I didnt get to see Bryan ever since I left for the moshpit, cuz he decided to stay in the front and watch the band! I called him up after the concert was over, but I guess his phone was turned off cuz all I got was his answering machine. So I just left a message! :P

Courtney, Maggie, and I walked to rideau mall and caught a bus from there. I took the 86 home, and they took some other bus. I accidently passed my house lol... So since it was 12am at the time, no more buses were coming back down that street, so I just had to walk around 20minutes! But it was all worth it!

Lol here are some random pics I took while the stage was empty, when the bands were changing.



I put together this video with clips I took of the concert :D Sorry if its not clear, but I was standing right beside the speakers lol! My ears are still buzzing :P Hope you like it!

That day was amazing!!! I swear I had so0o0 much fun!!! Cant wait for another concert!!! Haha!
