                <description><![CDATA[ ...On April 26. My word, I need to check my journals more often.<br />
<br />
So...6 things, 6 people.<br />
<br />
1. I spent my whole 9th year without brushing my teeth, yet I've only had one cavity in my life. I didn't stop for any moral reason; I just forgot one night and kept on forgetting until I was 10 (or 11...).<br />
<br />
2. When I was little and our family still lived in a small town, the only music my parents listened to was country (that's all that came through on the local station, I think). Hence, for the first 5 or 6 years of my life, I thought the only music that existed was country. It was like learning to hear for the first time when we moved to the city.<br />
<br />
3. My toes and knees always crack. I could play toe-symphonies for hours and they would still be cracking. I can't sneak around anywhere.<br />
<br />
4. My scream sounds like the apocalypse. I have frightened many a telemarketer with my "talent".<br />
<br />
5. When I was in greade 3, my favourite pastime was running around outside in black gloves and catching wasps. I was never stung, and wondered why my teacher got so scared when I brought my friends into the classroom.<br />
<br />
6. When I was 7, my favourite album was Graceland by Paul Simon. When I turned 8, my tastes switched to 14th-century chamber music set to eerie techno beats (yes, it exists).<br />
<br />
I tag:<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Last journal: July 23. Exciting news, I'm sure.<br />
Just came back from another trip out to Regina. It made me sad. Grandpa's brain and body have been growing weaker as of late, and Grandma is often exhausted trying to take care of him. Her arthritis has worsened to a point where her knees sound like moving furniture every time she gets up. It's a shame that growing old has to bring so much misery...my grandparents are terribly awesome people, and don't deserve anything they're getting (except the pension cheques <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />).<br />
<br />
I'm staying here by myself for the majority of the week. That may sound like good news to some of you, but since I'm an exceptionally boring person, I have nothing to do all day. Hence, this e/n journal. I've been working on an animation for most of the summer, and at the moment, I hate it more than anything. 1117 frames, and I'm not even a quarter of the way done. At least it lets me kill some time (heh. I sound about 13 years old).<br />
<br />
I lost my CDs again. I'm sure you were dying to know that. At least I still have the three I got for my birthday: Bob Marley, Bob Marley, and Queen. I've been listening to them endlessly, if only to dull the pain of animating (Oh, the drama).<br />
<br />
Ooh! And I got me a camera. It's a Canon, film, fully manual, and probably built sometime befor the Crimean war. I love it! ]]></description>

Unfortunately, it doesn't yet have internet access, so I likely won't be submitting anything for a while (oh the hardship...how will my watchers survive?).<br />
<br />
I might be in a real-live art show. In a real gallery. With artists that are older than me. Shocking, I know. I haven't been able to track down much of my work, though, and that complicates things. Sometimes, I wish I had just a little bit of OCD...<br />
<br />
Tomorrow morning, I leave for a rip-roaring good time in Moose Jaw. That's right. It's family reunion time again. I can hardly wait <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sarcasticclap.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":sarcasticclap:" title="Oh yeah. Yay. Good for you." />.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Another school year is over, and for that I am glad. Funny how I only started talking to people in the last week or so. Better luck next year...or something.<br />
<br />
I did end up getting a 93% on my Social final, though. Which surprised me.<br />
<br />
I took another look at my gallery today, and discovered something shocking: I suck significantly more than I would like to. I wish I could stay proud of the things I do, but it seems that that's well-nigh impossible.<br />
<br />
I'm getting a computer for the summer from my art/comm-tech teacher, who is far too generous for his own good. I'll be using it primarily for animation, but there are some other programs I'd like to try out (Painter 8, Illustrator, and the like). It seems I'm destined to become an anaemic insomniac over these next few months. Three cheers. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Carla Bruni is amazing. I think I've become addicted to her music. Why must the French be so good at everything?<br />
<br />
I got my CDs back, at long last. That makes me intensely happy. <br />
<br />
Something exciting has finally happened in Calgary: heavy rainfall and floods. Hooray! Last Friday, I spent a couple of hours bailing water and sandbagging to prevent a church from flooding. Unfortunately, most of the water I had to deal with looked and smelled suspiciously like sewage...which wasn't pleasant, to say the least.<br />
<br />
I hope you can forgive me for my writing...I got a whopping two and a half hours of sleep last night, so I'm not quite as functional as I usually am. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Canadian television has hit a new low.  CTV is ready to launch a gripping drama  about the semi-recent SARS scare in  Toronto. It seems patriotism has run  dry in this fair country, and what  better way to stir up patriotism than a  TV miniseries about old news. Why not  do a show about every  epidemic-that-wasn't? West Nile virus,  BSE, or what about that crazy  monkey-pox that was destined to be "the  next great pandemic"? I know I'd like  to see that.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I got to take photos of horses for <a href="http://www.leadtosucceed.ca"> [link]</a> on Thursday. It was dead  frightening. I never realised how  different horses are when there's  nothing separating their hooves from  your feet. There were a couple of  behemoths that made me especially  uneasy--Madison, who liked biting my  jacket, and Seth, who pinned me between  himself and the wall and nearly shat on  my camera. It was hard getting used to  them.<br />
<br />
Sorry about the lack of updates. I'm  currently working on an acrylic  painting that becomes more and more  horrendous each time I work on it, as  well as a couple of digital portraits  (John Lennon and Napoleon Dynamite).  Ooh! and there's an art show coming up  featuring student work from my school.  I'm ecstatic. ]]></description>

I'm still getting sick. It's very  disheartening; I thought I'd feel  better after the surgery, but  apparently pain works in mysterious  ways. Even if the source of one's pain  is removed, the feeling itself doesn't  neccessarily go away. I hate my nerves.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Good lord. I just watched something on  the American media, and now I think I'm  having an aneurism <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/pissed.gif" width="15" height="20" alt=":pissed:" title="Pissed" />. Something is  seriously screwed up if blatant  ignorance and bald-faced lies can be  portrayed as truth, while any truth  that has left-wing connotations is  slammed as Liberal propaganda. The more  "fair and balanced" news Americans  watch, the more blind and ignorant they  become. News agencies are no longer  concerned about giving the public what  they need; they, too, seem to care  about nothing but their ever-fattening  wallets. Giving the public what they  want, minus facts = ratings. Ratings =  cash. Cash = everything. Has it really  come to this? Apparently so. Hell. In.  A. Handbasket.<br />
<br />
And guess what?<br />
It's now available in Canada! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/o/omg.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":omg:" title="OMG" /><br />
I think I'll go lock myself in the  basement and cry. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've got me another one of my "great  ideas": everyone ought to steal a cow  from a feedlot and put it in their  backyard (if you don't have a backyard,  your cow can work for the community,  trimming grass in parks and the like).  Since these cows would be eating grass  rather than an unholy concoction of  chicken scheisse, GM grain, each other,  and lord knows what else, they would  end up producing less methane and  eliminating the need for lawnmowers,  thus cutting down on greenhouse gas  emmissions. People could either  accumulate a personal stock of manure  for their gardens and yards (which  would be good for the environment  because it would cut down on our use of  chemical fertilisers), or they could  sell the manure, which would create  more jobs and help failing economies.<br />
Our consumption of beef would likely  fall because of our tendency to become  attatched to our pets. Not only would  this improve our health, but it would  allow people working in the meatpacking  industry to work at a slower rate, thus  doing more thorough work and decreasing  the likelihood of beef contamination  (due to gut spillage, poorly sterilised  equipment, etc.)<br />
<br />
Sounds like a plan. I'ma go steal a cow  and save the world!<br />
<br />
Or...you know...maybe not.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I don't know about you, but I'm quite  glad to say goodbye to 2004. What a  crap year(globally, at least; it  treated me quite well). What with the  war that would never end, the shame of  Abu Ghraib, the train bombing in Spain,  continued tension between Israel and  Palestine, epidemic scares, Chechyan  rebel strikes in Russia, guerilla  warfare in Haiti, Bush's re-election,  and now, the horrendous tsunamis in  South Asia. Hopefully 2005 will be a  bit of a clean slate for leaders  worldwide. Here's hoping.<br />
<br />
Have a happy new year.<br />

It was a grand stay.  They stuck a happy little NG tube down  my throat what made me wretch and heave  until the day they took it out <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/puke.gif" width="24" height="15" alt=":puke:" title="I think I am going to PUKE!" />. And  they stuck an epidiural (spelling?) in  my back in hopes of freezing my  stomach; unfortunately, they misplaced  it and I had to deal with paralysed  legs and extreme stomach pain for the  first three days <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sarcasticclap.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":sarcasticclap:" title="Oh yeah. Yay. Good for you." />. Oh, and my roomate  liked to whine. A LOT. She would whine  about everything, from "stubbed toes"  to "toys that take up too much space"  to "a random santa hat on the bed".  Good lord, she nearly drove me insane <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/chainsaw.gif" width="49" height="20" alt=":chainsaw:" title="Chainsaw" />.<br />
<br />
So, in short, I'm glad to be home and  eating again. I've got me a big ol'  gash on my midriff to show off to all  my friends and am now bereft of a huge  lump, big as my stomach itself (not  cancerous, btw <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />). 'Tis quite a relief. ]]></description>

I think European commercials should be  shown in North America. They're so much  better...<br />

<br />
Isn't it sad when people can't see  beyond their own experience? When  people with unlimited income, wonderful  homes, fantastic parents, plenty of  friends, safe neighbourhoods, and the  freedom to do whatever they want waste  their lives feeling sorry for  themselves because of some petty  concern that most of us would shrug off  and forget about. When people are so  sheltered that they shoot themselves on  their first "bad day". When peole go  through life without realising that  there are some people who have it worse  off than they do, that everyone goes  through tough times now and then. Watch  the news, people. Get some real  perspective.<br />

Something very sad happened. I was  working on a sketch for that full-body  painting of Satan I promised for a  couple of days, left it alone for a  night, came back, and found that it had  disappeared! Left without a trace.  Maybe someone found it too hideous to  bear and burned it. That would make me  laugh.<br />

Everyone at the  wedding (excluding my immediate family)  was either an incredible athlete,  teacher, artist, or some combination of  the three. *sigh*<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I've recently come back from the coast.  It was lovely. Especially the  beaches--great rocky beaches that look  more like they belong in the Galapogos  islands than in Canada. Vancouver  itself was quite swell as well. Though  you can hardly go a day without  catching a whiff of marijuana (blegh. I  can honestly say it's one of the most  repulsive scents that have ever crossd  my nose). They have a kid's mall there!  Stores filled to the brim with toys and  candy! I think every city should have  one.<br />
<br />
And another thing: while I was gone, I  magically turned 16. Pop. Fweee.<br />
<br />
Now I'm off to Regina. Hooray.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Me sister and I went to see Cirque du  Soleil's <i>Quidam</i> today. It was  fantastic! Loved every minute of it. If  you ever get the chance (and the  money--them seats are pretty expensive)  to see Cirque du Soleil live, I would  sugest you do; you won't be  disappointed.<br />
<br />
I also saw <i>Spiderman 2</i> yesterday.  'Twasn't the best movie I've ever seen,  but it was certainly the best superhero  movie. It gives you what you want and  leaves you feeling entirely satisfied,  which I like. My only complaint would  be about the end: 'twas a bit too corny  and improbable for my tastes.<br />
<br />
On Monday, I'm heading out to  Vancouver, BC. Or rather, my family is.  We'll be staying out there for 5 days,  then going to Regina, SK shortly after.  Wish me luck!<br />
<br />
I have some Art 20 objectives that I've  been neglecting since the beginning of  the Summer *grins*.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Wow. I haven't updated my journal  in...21 days (give or take). That's  quite a spell.<br />
<br />
Not much has gone on since I last  wrote. School ended, which was good.  Marlon Brando died, which was bad <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />. <br />
<br />
Aaanyway, looking to the future: I got  me some art 20 objectives to fill over  the summer, so I'll likely be doing a  lot of drawing; maybe not on the  computer, but ye never know. Mein  family and I are planning on going to  Vancouver sometime this month. Or maybe  Toronto, if we can afford it. My  birthday's coming up on the 20th. Other  than that, looks like a pretty dull  summer. YAY.<br />
<br />
edit: I added some pictures to my  scrapbook; They're not incomplete works  as such. I'm just not sure if I should  move them to my main gallery or not. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I finally saw The Triplets of  Belleville! Beautiful film, it were.  Could very well have been a film  installation in a gallery, as it was as  much a work of art as a source of  entertainment. I loved the way  everything was so  over-exaggerrated--that which was big  was HUGE; that which was small was  miniscule. The Grandmother = best  caharacter ever! The only thing I would  complain about, I think, would be the  very beginning. 'Twas just a little too  strange for my tastes. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Let's play the metaphor game!<br />
<br />
You give me some random metaphor, e.g., <i> Western society is like a big toe  because...</i><br />
<br />
And I (with additional help from family  and friends, of course) will try to  decipher it, e.g., <i>Like a big toe,  Western society appears to be higher,  more important than other societies,  while in reality, it serves no better  purpose; it is just like all the  others, only slightly over-inflated.</i><br />
<br />
Give it a try! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The Triplets of Belleville DVD came out  today! <br />
I'm ecstatic. As you can see.<br />
<br />
I saw the third Harry Potter movie  yesterday. I must admit, it was much  better than I expected. The Dementors  were superb, the creature animation was  very well done--made the Hypogriff and  werewolf look like they might actually  work (though the were-lupin was a bit  disappointing; he looked kind of like a  hick-rat, in my opinion), the  cinematography was much more mature  than in the previous two movies, and  whoever played Professor Lupin gave a  grand performance. I wish we could have  seen more of him, though.<br />
<br />
Just came back from sticking my (bare)  foot in a compost pile (one of my many  riveting Saturday activities). It felt  nice; like sticking one's foot into a  pile of sleeping cats. They should make  compost-boots for the winter months.  They'd keep peoples' feet a lot warmer  than conventional synthetic polyester  fluff. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Sorry about the lack of activity. The  powers that be decided to block  deviantART at my school (where I do  most of my digital drawings), probably  because they're afraid that we young'ns  are being subjected to online nudity  through such sites. Yes, because we all  sign up on deviantART to stare at the  smut. But of course.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Wouldn't it be nice if no one assumed  anything? There would likely be litle  or no racism, sexism, homophobia, war,  or other exaggerated misunderstanding.  People would probably get along a lot  better than they do now.<br />
<br />
Dyslexia is a strange disorder, not  because of what it does to people, but  because it seems as though human beings  have developed it. People developed a  written language. Henceforth, dyslexia  came to be. Had we never invented the  written word, there would be no  dyslexia. Same goes for agorophobia. If  we had never made enclosed shelters, it  would be almost impossible for people  to be afraid of going outside.<br />
<br />
Have you ever wondered if A.D.D is  really just human instinct that is more  prevalent in some people than in  others? It's possible.<br />
<br />
Ever notice that the majority of human  achievements have consisted of new ways  to control things?<br />
<br />
That's what I was thinking about today.  It's fun to do nothing but think.  Perhaps I'll become a philosopher (in  my happy place). ]]></description>

More sleep.<br />
Think about it.<br />
If we all slept more, we wouldn't waste  as much energy (what with our  lightbulbs and our television sets and  computers). <br />
Sleep is a perfect means of escape.  There goes the drug, alcohol, and  suicide question.<br />
It is also a good way of conquering  hunger.<br />
If people got more sleep, I can bet my  left foot they would feel less cranky  and depressed.<br />
Students might actually be able to do  their homework effectively.  <br />
People might make fewer mistakes.<br />
We would be doing the world a great  favour.<br />

If you haven't already guessed, I am an  insomniac. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Once upon a time, there was a stomach  living in the peaceful denomination of  Nomad. For years, Nomad and the stomach  worked together like clockwork: Nomad  would give food to the stomach, who  would subsequently digest it. But one  fateful day, the stomach got confused.  Whenever Nomad gave it food to digest,  this stomach would instead digest  itself. Now the stomach is hungry and  Nomad is weak. A sad, sad tale.<br />

As well, I keep getting the  same messages over and over again, long  after I've deleted them, and when I try  viewing anyone else's deviations, again  the "not found" page appears.

                <description><![CDATA[ Heh heh. I should be doing Science  homework right now, but I've decided  against it.<br />
<br />
Saw Matchstick Men yesterday. 'Twas  good, though the ending sort of  regurgitated the format of every other  con movie in existence (ha ha, it was  all just an act, we sure fooled you,  didn't we...pah).<br />
<br />
I also went shopping for trousers  yesterday. Lousy manufacturers have  decided to make all clothing for people  of one of two basic shapes: small  waist, huge hips and sculpted legs, or  taaaalllll and anorexic. I am neither  of those. You see my frustration. <br />
<br />
Tried doing some sketches of Sonrisa  (spelling?) for theishinphish, but I  couldn't think of any good poses. So I  might try something else.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ My apologies for the inactivity. I'm  working on something in my graphic arts  class and since it's every other day,  the going is slow. *doesn't know if  that made any sense*. <br />
<br />
What are art trades? They sound  interesting. ]]></description>
