Lloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken

EVER.

So today, on my way to class from Orchestra, Sarah Mackenzie reminded me about our Studco exec (Student's Council Executive) photo at lunch. Which was awesome, because we were going to take it on the roof of our school. Where no one goes.

So I went to the main hall at lunch, and all together exec went up to the roof, led by none other that everyone's FAVOURITE (hah) principal, Mrs Gledhill. We went up allllll the stairs, and through the locked door at the top of the fourth floor landing and up some more stairs until we got to a very Harry-Potteresque door that was half the size of a normal door. Mrs Gledhill unlocked it and we all went out onto the roof.

It was so cool. The view was so nice (I love cityscapes), with the Parliament buildings in the distance and all the other Ottawa things. There was this little tower on the roof of Lisgar that we all wanted to go see, but we weren't allowed.

But then after our picture Gledhill was like, "Now I'll show you guys around the 4th floor." So we were like "COOL!". So we went in, climbing over the old art projects and Singer sewing machines and got inside. And we saw the drywall walls COVERED with writing. All over the place. All these windy old wood bits and old brick and then the new drywall bits put in around the heating stuff and such. Exec from a couple years ago signed a wall with a list of their names and positions. And tons of other people too, random ones, had signed all over the place, a lot were super random, like "how did they get up here?"

Someone signed on wall with "First time Conservatives and Republicans in powers at the same time in (x) years: Mulroney + Bush" And we added on underneath that "And then again in 2006 -- Harper and W. Bush"

So then Ben pulls out sharpies and Gledhill and the other teachers supervise us signing all over the walls. Not just our exec, but the grads took a wall, I signed with Josh O, I left a message that I hope someone gets later (no promises, but we'll see) and message to the universe, just so someone remembers it. Sees it maybe, years from now, and wonders about the story.

I was one of those moments that I knew I wanted to remember for the rest of my life. Like this is a memory, right here. Pretty awesome.

Connor's Cup

So, here's the deal.

Our school is big on the improv. It's a big deal. Everyone goes to watch, and the kids who compete are pretty much amazing. We've got a team that has been together for almost 3 years, and they're so good.

This monday there is a competition for just the Ottawa area (not the regional tournament for nationals or anything) called the Connor's Cup. Our improv teams is currently mostly stuck in rehearsals for the senior play, The Crucible, which is going on the week after next.

This means that Lisgar needed a team to go. And since Jimbo, our secondary team, is severaly depleted, Mrs K got improv club to pull together a team. Of which I am part. Yay!

All I'm saying is, wish me luck, and if you live in the ottawa area, stop by the museum of science and tech (the one with the lighthouse) Monday, Nov 30 at 7pm for some fun times!

My first Insight school performance is tomorrow morning! At Colonel By. I'm pumped. Except that we're super stressed and have brand new scenes. Oh goodness.

And then I get back to school and have a chem test I'm not ready for. SO not ready. And my teacher wasn't here today and I had a million questions for him. Not cool. At all. And due to my show, I won't be able to see him before school. And it was my lowest grade on my report card due to a bad day causing a fail on a test. Yeah, sucks. A lot.

Studio 60 made me happy this week. But then there's the lack of drama:

ewings73 (9:56:57 PM): the pilot set this show up to be awesome, but the show didnt grab on to its tail as it went by
ewings73 (9:57:18 PM): like Wes went HERE IS DRAMA TAKE IT IT IS MY PARTING GIFT TO YOU
ewings73 (9:57:40 PM):
matt: should I have grabbed that and run?
danny: probably
Wes: *facepalm*

Oh Michael Christie.

PS: wish me luck tomorrow!

PPS: I *was* planning a bday party for me, but due to my extreme lack of friends, it's canceled. I wish I were kidding. I have 6 people to invite and only Kirsten and Alex can come, and I hang with them on sat nights anyway. Fuck. I hate this lack of friends.

Today was fun.

I skipped Bio with Erica, Graham and Emily, and we were on the mall, when Graham suggested we go bust Phil out of English with Chang (Chang is a young, inexperienced teacher who is known for gullibility and push-overness, as well as his wish to be neither gullible nor a push-over). So Erica says "I know! Evey, go in and tell Chang Phil has an Insight thing!"
I am like the WORST liar ever so I told them I couldn't do it. So Graham went in. Here is what I heard went down:

Graham: Hey, Mr Chang, Evey's freaking out because she and Phil have some Insight Theater thing and she doesn't know where he is.

Mr Chang: *buying it*

Phil: I do? I forgot?

Graham: Yeah

Mr Chang: Well, if you have to go, you'd better go.

Phil: Yeah. *packs up stuff and leaves*

Class: *laughs*

Chang: *waves*

So, I added the wave for dramatic effect. But it was still awesome. Phil was so happy to be out of class and we then all traipsed off to ESD (Elgin Street Diner).

It was a good day.

So when you ask "was something wrong?"/ That i think "you're damn right there is but we can't talk about it now."

My birthday is coming! Any presents you want to get me in the form of witty e-cards, blog celebrations or e-hugs and convos will be accepted next week. PS -- I'll be 16.

Things have been busy on my end. Lots of StudCo things to do, lots of planning, lots of homework. But I get to not go to bio tomorrow. Yessss.
