If I had a quarter for every aching muscle...

I. Am. Dead.

At least, that's what it feels like.  I have been doing horse-back riding camp this week, which means that I have been riding two hours a day every day.  To all you ignorant people who say, "Horse back riding only exercises the horse.  You just sit there." I'd like to see you "just sit there" while you barrel around with no stirrups, jumping over jumps.

Ok, so I wasn't jumping without stirrups, but I was cantering without stirrups (no easy task, as A- I mean "Stargirl" would know. [lol, A-]).

I was also jumping WITH stirrups, and I did really well today, thank you very much.  We also painted ponies.  My team won. YAY!

Levi has been going to concerts every night (it's currently the chamber music festival in Ottawa, which is internationally well-known) and coming home late.  I take it he's having a blast.
I have no patience right now.  Nathan, email me the second that Jonah gets home so I can pester him to post on Society's Pants (go read it if you haven't.  link is on this page).

Ok.  I'll finish up before my legs seize up and I can't stand.

Ok, that was a pointless experience.  For one thing, I HATE HILLARY DUFF!  And I don't like Whutney Houston.  Jin Carrey as Dad for real would suck, but for this purpose, it isn't so bad (My friend got Steve Irwin as her dad and boyfriend.  Ew).  The best part is definintley Hugh (Without an 'e') Grant as a boyfirend.  He is so awesome, #1 Because he can act, #2 because he's good looking (I would say hot, but my mom says that, so I won't), and #3, the accent.  And does anyone know if 'Milo' is a famous dog?  I have no idea.  Is it just a random name?

[Insert witty title here] (Jonah is away, so I don't have anyone to help me think up good titles)

Today was a girl's day out.  Lauren, you are a terrible influence on me.  I bought WAY too many things (well, my mom paid for most of them).  I got 2 dresses at 'DEB's", and I am in love with them.  Oh, and can I say that I love Target? Okay, I will.  "I LOVE TARGET!"  I bought WAY too many notebooks and folders there today.  They have great stuff.  Anyway.
And after, we went to see "Sleepover" (which is the ultimate girl's night out movie) and then came home.  We also rented "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" to watch with dinner.
Right after we got home, the weather radio went off.  Right away, I was freaked out.  #1, It's tornado season in tornado country, and #2, I hate tornados. 
Everyone who lives here will say, 'Oh that?  That was hardly anything! You are so stupid!' See, I know that.  Actually, half of me knew that.  the other half wanted to barf and pass out in quick succession (I didn't, by the way).  But as the lightening got closer and brighter, I was so freaked out we had to stop the movie.
After the movie, the weather radio went off again, and I nearly had a heart attack.  Luckily it said only severe thunderstorm warning, and a warning for winds that could cause considerable damage, in excess of 60 mph.  My mind immediately said: TORNADO!
I went out onto the porch with my mom and Levi, and watched the storm, and finally I calmed down and Levi and I had "cousin bonding time".  This means that the only cousin I haven't had cousin bonding time with is Nathan.  I told you you should have let me French braid your hair Nathan, but did you listen? No.  So no cousin bonding time for you.
I'm leaving really soon, which is sad, because I love it here (excluding the tornados).  I'm not going to be able to stand being away for a year, so I'm working on that smile!
I will see Nathan and Jonah and Uncle Dave before we go, though.  We're going to go visit them at Triennium in Lafayette (did I spell that right?) on Friday and have dinner.  That's good.  I was sad that I wouldn't see them for a year, and now I'm seeing them again.

Addendum: Everyone who is friends with Jonah watch Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen.  Does she remind you of anyone?

A blog is born!

I went ot see I, Robot today.  It was much better than I expected.  Go see it.  It' worth the money
 
As you may or may not have noticed, I now have links in the sidebar. This is the result of Jonah and I messing with html.   The Society's Pants is the round robin story.  Go read and comment.  I think it's gonna be good.
 
I told you so just doesn't seem to say it right now --a trailer for "I Robot"

Take pill. A chill slash allergy pill.

Last night I went to see Seussical with Comstocks, my sister, Marten and Ashley.  (You're so right Marten--Nathan and Ashley are really creepy!)  It was so good.  And it was great ot see Marten again (don't worry Amelia-- I'm stealing a picture from the Comstocks so that I can back up my description with a visual).  Anyway, the Cat was the best and the whole cast sang amazingly.  Especially the kangaroo.  And I loved Gertrude McFuzz.  She was great. Oh! And the Trio of birds.  Oh, and...
 
Heeheehee.  Tired Nathan is so funny.  His body clock is all messed up (see http://compenduimofstupidity.blogspot.com, Nathan's post [aka Nathaniel Cornstalk]).  He and Jonah went to a party last night and got 2 hours of sleep.  They played Dungeons and Dragons. How nerdy.  I guess I shouldn't insult it until AI try it, but talking to my cousins about what they do is like reading a nerd checklist.  But that's not so bad.  There's worse things to be than a nerd.
Who knew that washing cars could be so much fun?  I had never done a car wash before today.  they're illegal in Canada.  You need a special permit.  I think.  Maybe it's a bylaw thing.  I don't know. 
 
Anyway, Marten and I had a soap and water fight.  Unfortunately, Marten's Mario lounge pants did not escape dry or dirty.  And by the way Marten-- my eye still hurts!

We made lots of money, except that there was a car wash right beside us of a gymnastics club.  They stole some of our customers, but our car wash was better, we had tons more people, and we dried the cars so that they didn't turn out all streaky.  We also washed a dog.  And I got a terrible sunburn.  All over my back and shoulders.  Oh, it hurts so much.  But the car wash was so worth it.  I had a blast.
 
I'm so sad that I have only a week left here.  Less time with Nathan and Jonah.  I asked my mom "...if I smile really big, can I come back at Christmas?"  Then later she said, "but I need you at Christmas." She sadi it in a jokey voice, so I think there is still hope.  (Oh, guys, if I get to come, can I come to the New Years lock-in at the church?  It sounds like fun.)

Nude Midget Softball With Cheese Bats: The Sport of the Future

Disclaimer: I don't mean to insult midgets, nudists, people who enjoy eating cheese or people from the future.
 
I'm very tired right now.  Why, you might ask? Well, it's because Jonah and I were up until 1 o'clock this morning, having cousin bonding time.  It was loads of fun.  Check out the post we did together at compendiumofstupidity.blogspot.com .  I think it is cool.  Can you tell we were tired? The title was probably your first clue.
Today we went for an hour-long drive to do stuff far away (I'm not in a descriptive mood) and we played expert in the car (that's were the title comes from. Also: shooting cats out of a cannon [disclaimer: I mean no offence to cats, cannons or people who like cats or cannons]).   It was really funny.  Levi wins, I think.
I can't believe that we have been here almost a week.  I'm very sad that Nathan and Jonah are leaving on Tuesday, especially after that deep cousin bonding time, but that's life.
A plan is currently in the works for Nathan and I and possible Jonah if he comes around to it to start a round robin, story-writing blog.  To help me convince Jonah, tell me in the comments if you would read it.  I think it would be great fun.
 
I told you so doesn't seem to say it right now --a trailer for "I Robot" <---This is new, for all people who are not familiar with blogger, you can make it appear on all your posts.  I will change it from time to time.  All movie quotes though.  If you have a good one, let me know.

World War Three!

So, I have nothing of any interest to say, but I'm taking this opportunity to alert all my loyal readers that World Wr Three has broken out in the comments of my last post. I'm not sure who is winning, but go submit your comment because things are heating up!
PS Join the Nathan and me team, because we are cooler, and we have T-shirts!*
(*Only if you make it yourself.)

I will get revenge, Jonah, just you wait...

So here I am in Indiana. I' a little bit jet-lagged, as the state of Indiana does not observe daylight savings time. Why you might ask? I have no clue. My Aunt from Indiana tells me it's because they don't want to confuse the cows. Why can't the cows be confused? I'm sure they could deal with it. They're simple minded creatures. I'm not sure thet're even capable of being confused.

Anyways, back to my cousins. When were we on the subject? Why in the title, silly (Jonah blew his baritone in my ear, probably causing permanent damage, and will have to pay). Just incase you don't know my cousins (which most of you do who read this blog) they are among the wierdest people I have ever met. For instance, they never stop singing. Ever. Unless, of course, they are blowing baritones in their unsuspecting cousin's ear.

If anyone has any suggestions as to how I should get Jonah back, please respond in the comment box. Thanks. Much appreciated.

Happy July Fourth!

It's Independance Day. Whoopee. In Canada, most people don't even make the connection. If you said to them: 'It's July 4th today', they'd say: 'ok...?' and then you would have to say: 'You know, like Canada Day in the US.' Then they would get it. The bottom line here? America isn't as important as it likes to think it is.

But I don't want this entry to be an America insulting entry; instead I am going to rant a bit about Troy (the movie). Sorry. If you don't like reading online rants, then stop reading now.

First of all, the movie people made the war last under 2 weeks, instead of ten years. That is one of the biggest problems. But that is definintley not the end of them. For instance, that whole love story about Achilles and Paris's cousin never happenned. Achilles DID have a slave girl named Briseis, but Agamemnon stole her early on.

Also, Achilles does kill Hector, but Hector tells him as he's dying: 'Remember me when my brother kills you in theshadow of the Skaian Gate'. Which Paris does. He shoot him on the heel before the Greeks even thought of the giant horse.

Which brings me to my biggest problem: Achilles is immortal! HELLO! His mom is Thetis, a nymph. She dunked him in this enchanted pool thing to make him immortal, but she is holding him by his foot, so his heel doesn;t go in the water. Hence the reason why he can be killed by an arrow in the foot. (This is where the Achhilles tendon comes from).

Lord of the Rings does the epic thing SO much better, so if it's between seeing Troy and LOTR III, pick LOTR. Hands down.

Ok. I'm done now.

Oh, I saw the Matrix for the forst time last night. Damn good movie. Really cool. Best I've seen in a long time.

ComstOck (I did that for you jonah) Countdown: 5 1/2 Days!

Comstalk Countdown: 6 1/2 Days!

I'm very excited at the moment for several reasons. Here's a list:

1: I'm am going to go see Troy today (finally) and I've wanted to see it for ages (I can't resist hot guys in skirts. I'm a teenage girl. Sue me.)
2: Read the title. Yes, that's right, 6 1/2 days till jonah has to give up his room (sorry about that my the way. I feel your pain.) which brings me to #3.
3: I am back in my room, as aunt Janet, who is Jonah's second cousin 1 removed, not mine, is gone. YAY! At least I came out of it with a whole bunch of new stuff. Yay.
4: My sister has decided she isn't speaking to me right now, in fact, she is avoiding me. Finally, some peace and quiet.
5: Did I mention that I'm finally seeing Troy???

If this has mande you sad that your life isn't as good as mine, then too bad. Cuz I'm happy, even if ur not.

Sorry. That was a bit mean. I apologize. Anyway. I have to go. Hot guys in skirts call...

I love Shopping!

The best part of having my aunt come to stay is that we shop a lot. I get lots of good stuff. I got a really nice skirt today. I'll bring it with me to Indianapolis so all you guys down there can see it.

I'm very happy. Loads of people are responding to my blog. This means my life is not nearly as pointless as I thought. A shout out to all you guys: if you have anything at all to say, post it, even if you think its stupid. I love reading them. To Micheal Christie: I'm glad you enjoyed my profile. To mia: stop responding too many times to the same entry. Formulate what ur gonna say, then post it. To Pirate_King: Yay! I love parties. And journalcon sounds fun. To Tess: Virgon Suicides was filmed on aunt control freak's street! on her block, in Toronto. I'm not kidding. I was there when they were filming it, so I got to see it a bit and I'm sure if I saw it I would recognize some of the houses.

I got to go now; I'm going swimming. Actually, I'm going to sit by the pool, read my new books and wear my new skirt, and get a new tan. all that good vitamin D. Toodles.

How could you pick up the asprin if you had no bones in your hand?

Happy Canada Day!

Yes it is Canada Day. And guess what? Here in the nation's capital, it's pouring rain. Not only that, but thunder too. Good luck to the Snowbirds. They should have fun flying in this. UNtil they get srtruck by ligthening, that is.

I'm very tired at the moment. I stayed up last night watching Cider House Rules and Girl, Interrupted with my good friend Lana. Girl, Interrupted is one of the best movies ever. Seriously. If you haven't seen it, go rent it now. It has the best lines ever. The title today is one of them. Another is: Don't point your finger at crazy people. I love that movie!

Hey. Why are you still here? Didn't I tell you to go rent it? NOW? Well? GO! Hurry up! Before all the multitudes of people who read this blog rent them all from your local Blockbuster. You'd better hurry.
