The Atlantic was born today, and I'll tell you how...

My internet went "I'll spam you when you try to use me!" and I went "nuh uh" and it went "yuh-huh" and then I called Brian our friendly neighbourhood computer geek and he went "Take that computer!" The end result is we have to reformat my hardrive and so I begin the process of backing up all of my files. Fun!

March Break was the awesome. I went to Mont Tremblant to ski with Mike and his family (mom's family: Cindy (his mom), Tim (stepdad), Andrew (twin brother, goes to my school) and Lorien (stepsister, also goes to my school, and is a friend of mine). The snow kind of sucked for a bit, but we skiied 4/6 days. And it was friggin AMAZING. A whole week with Mike.

And then the Friday was the Coldplay concert, which was equally amazing. Enoch and I bought the same T-shirt and he was annoyed by this. Ha, haha, ha. Ha.

Okay, so the highlight of this week, has got to be the Literacy Test. To graduate high school, we have to pass this test to prove we can read. It is the stupidest test ever. If you don't write in pen, YOU FAIL. If your writting isn't legible to the scorer YOU FAIL. The questions are stupid too. In the sample test booklet, it had this one question for short answer that asked "How is a train like a bear?" Lame, I know. It is SO stupid. Mike keeps rubbing in my face how he gets half a day off because only the grade tens write it. Well, we got two half days off last year, while he wrote it. So there.


Only dead fish go with the flow.

Indiana Memory #2

Who: Marten Dollinger
What: His Christmas present from Erin "Where's my Cow" a picture book about the book.
Where: Erin's basement, at the Star Wars-related chicanerycon
When: Dec 30, 2005 During the Invasion of the Canadienne.
Why: Ask Marten
How: This is silly. The how involves eyes seeing words and interpreting them and then mouth moving and saying them, etc.

"Such self-loathing from such a pretty girl!" "I know, I think it's a brit thing"

*Le sigh* If only I were Kieira Knightly. How unfair is it that she gets to be gorgeuse AND smart AND gets to be in Pride and Prejudice? Which, by the way, she listened to on tape at age 7 (since she's dyslexic) and has loved ever since then. I know. I'm 15, and I just fell in love with it, after trying to read it at least twice before. hmph.

Yay Oscars and Oscarblog. I had leave Oscarblog early since I am sick and had to go to bed. I know. Ew. I have been sick since friday, and I'm home sick today as well. I'm going to school tomorrow to face the wrath of Mr Turner, since our group still hasn't presented our project that was due Thursday. Josh and Asha were sick Thursday, and I've been sick since then. Yeah, Mr Turner is going to kill us with the angry.

I actually left the house yesterday! I know! I went to buy skis, since I'm going skiing for a week with Mike and his family at Mont Tremblant during March Break, next week. So actually, I had to buy skis, bindings, poles, neck warmer and snowpants. I still haven't found any snowpants. GAH! But, I did find this nifty hat that has earphones in it. I love it. I've been wearing it since I bought it.
