It has been over a year after all.
...When I have an internet connection again I have some pictures I'd like to upload.. I just procrastinate a lot.
In any case, my life has been messed lately, and I want to type out some random rant anywhere but facebook. dA it is.
It's something I do.. just write about current happenings.. It helps abate my rage.

...I punched a hole in the wall a few weeks ago... A bit before the worst of what has happened.. happened.

Yeah. So I have idiotic, irresponsible, jobless, unreliable roommates.
Yep. So anger and disdain has been gradually growing for the past while... They've been stealing food for months... The reason for hole punching was that they stole my food;

On the first of June I finally got my own room because one roommate, my friend from work, left. I had been sharing a room with my ex.. I gave them a few chances before I decided to keep my non-perishables in my room. Then yeah people went in my room, and stole stuff. So anger. I'm usually a weakling and didn't expect the wall break....

Blargh!
Yeah. So, they way things are there's three people on the lease, myself, my ex and this guy who left to join the militairy in January. Military guy owed my ex money and there was an agreement where said military guy would pay my ex's rent. Then there's another guy who's not on the lease living in Bizzarro World too, he's one of the jobless fools, my ex being the other. Anyway, towards the end of May I asked the guy not on the lease if he had June rent, and he said that he did. Yeah no. it wasn't paid.
His rent was supposed to be put into this joint account that us leaseholders have access to.
I put my rent in, and on the 13th militairyguy put the share he was supposed to put in.
Yeah. of what I put in.. insurance was paid, bank fees were paid, and yeah. The rest... Not used for rent but the personal use of the other two people who have access to the account. Though militairy guy made up for what he took out by pretty much putting it back in on the 13th. Of the inhabitants of Bizzarro World I'm the only one who paid rent.. And I actually paid on time too.
So Thursday the 17th, I check the mail when I get home from work -this around 11:15 pm since I work nights.
Yep. Form N4 "Notice to End a Tenancy Early for Non-payment of Rent". I had 14 days to come up with June rent. Today is actually the last of that 14 days. And I'm stressed, hoping they don't file a Form L1 "Application to evict a tenant for non-payment of rent and to collect rent the tenant owes", which will ruin my non-existent credit. Yeah, there was this claus on the form N4 "If another rent payment becomes due on or before the termination date, you must also pay this extra amount".

Yeah. We've had a form N4 sent to us before -though that was a mix up on the landlords part, but the interpretation was that if we pay before July rent is due, July can be late.
Yeah. I've paid my share of July rent directly to my landlord but the two others probably don't and won't have July rent. Bah!
Just thinking of all this is stressing me out. I've had a good past few days of not thinking of everything.
If they pay July rent I'm all good and never have to worry about this shit again. But rah!
I want to be prepared, but man. I'm afraid of the future, but I need to face it. I'm learning a lot I think.. Bah. It's wrong though, I'm a trusting person, I hate that I really can't trust people. Why can't people be relied upon?
People change fast, people lie, people, well these people, don't realize there comes a point in life where there are certain things you have to be responsible for.
Towards the beginning of this ordeal I approached them and asked what they intended to do about the situation. It was after all caused entirely by them. Yeah. No plan. They said that they didn't need one because I had one.

At that point the only conversation about the Form N4 had been Thursday night when I asked the guy not on the lease if he had paid rent; it was then I learned he had not. They simply concluded that I'd act ;like their mommy and take care of them?
..Such anger. Yeah I had a plan that was not a good one because it pretty much meant lending them money I don't quite expect to get back, though I have gotten them to sign contracts.
....I thought I needed to write about all this to help me get over it all. but having explained the basics I realize I'm just getting stressed again by thinking of it.

Basically I'm uncertain as to what the future will bring. Hopefully I won't be evicted because of idiot roommates and hopefully I'll move out August 30th as planned, move in with friends I know through work and I expect to be more reliable. Kinda iffy about one of them but yeah! I don't want to move back in with my parents!

Happy New Years!

The one day I don't get woken up waay too early.
Ist gut.

So. To make this journal-ish;

The week before New Years I was in Quebec. Family and such.
I wasn't going to go at first. But I was bribed; I was given money to go shopping.
To the French malls I went. And was scared. Reminded how glad I am to be living in Ontario now. English people are so much more laid back, friendly. Not caring overly much about appearences.
I noticed how slack I've become now that I live in Englishland. I like it. But I was also reminded of how fun it can be to get dressed. yes.
Ok bad journal Idea. heh. New Years! Any resolutions?
1. Get a better average, get some sort of income.
2. The same as last year and the year before. Gahg! And I almost manged to get it done in 2006! Yesh.... Hello!

Wow. 1 057 deviations to check. This'll take awhile.

It seemed somewhat journal worthy, so here it is in all it's badly spelt glory.
[link] <--My Fictionpress page

I started doing emoticons with my calculator in Data Management today. It's a boring class.
Er.. onto the copy pastage!

\------------------------------/

After a long dry spell, I am back. I am taking a writing class this semester, and so I am being forced to write creatively. This means I'll be putting my attempts at writing here a bit more. I love class, and apart from one major assignment that I have already put up here, I have a few other short blurbs I intend to bring to the internet. First and foremost will be my beloved story of Sasha Porkorov, composed of three very short chapters, from three different points of views... Ok so it was an activity to help us in creating a character. We had to put on a weird hats and write for fifteen minutes from the point of view of someone who would wear the hat. We did this three times, my first one was a crazy Russian hat, and though it wasn't a requirement, my next two characters told the story from their point of view, with added insight each time.

I liked it, so someday (soon) I need to remember to type it up.

And then there's our humungous cumulative project that's looming ahead. I know the name of my main character -Morpheus- and maybe some secondary ones -Thanatos and maybe Methos.

I want to write a romance, so I'll need a female. As much as I could play around with yaoi, I would feel incredibly bad for writing it.. Stupid conscience/morals/religion-ish. Yaoi would make it so much more interesting, but I'm Christian (have been for about 1 1/2 years now; as of May 6th 2005). The thing has been hardest for me and my decision to be Christian was just that. The whole gay thing. I understand the reasons the Bible gives for calling homosexuality a sin (it goes against God's design for humanity; we were made with certain reproductive organs so we can use them, homosexuality is disregarding/disrespecting/shunning that design. Or something, there are more reasons, but I don't feel like typing them out). Anyways, I have a hard time with it all, I'm a bit of "Rights for everyone!" person. Ish. I'm, not all that blatant about it, but I believe it to be fundamentally important for humanity. I'm in the Student Action Group, not the Human Rights Club, and I plot to take over the world. (Start with Newfoundland, then maritimes, then Quebec -CFB 3 EMA has missiles, then the rest of Northern Canada, then Russia, then, KILL the US). I play around with hating the US, though I don't really, it just makes Canada look bad. And I'm a royalist.
I love tradition, old things, nobility in particular, so the fact that I have a Queen is just beautiful. When I take over the world I'll reinstate representative monarchies everywhere where the rightful heir to the throne is still alive. Or Try. France seems to have a couple hundred claimants to the throne.

Anyway, Cumulative project. We haven't received it yet, but it's the next project in my writing class (called "Writers Craft"). So we'll be getting it in a few weeks. As I said I want to do a romance, maybe a fantasy romance. I wish I could do yaoi, especially because it would be so much easier to write, and so much more original (original=marks). But I can't. So that suxxors. I need a plot for mein story! and that is my stress right now. That and curling, but that has nothing to do with writing and this is a writing site.

So. I'm hoping you might have gleaned stuff about me from my ranting, more so than my listing of likes and dislikes. Though I do love Fantasy, some romance (none of that fluffy junk-though I will read some of that on occasion, I prefer the whole Star-crossed lovers thing.) I love Tragedies. And Fanfiction. I've just finished reading this beautiful fanfic with which I fell ion love, and I am hoping to make it the last piece of fanfic I read in a long time. After 65 chapters and 300 000 words, I'm waaay behind in homework. It was worth it though. It was romance, and the two main characters died. It was beautiful. And all the conflicts were still resolved.. I loved it.. I am more than pathetic. In RL I'm not one of those starry-eyed girls who sighs at every living thing. (though I do squeal on occasion, like we won the tie breaker at today’s curling game..) I'm more of a pessimist.. but recently I've gotten into romance.. and I'm almost ashamed to admit that I like it. I'll probably massacre my attempts to write it. Still, it's a challenge.

Hem. My eternal genre of preference is Fantasy, and forever shall be. John Ronald Reuel Tolkien Rules the World. And I want to be his successor. Though I... ]]> ~maethoriell http://maethoriell.deviantart.com/journal/9153180/ http://maethoriell.deviantart.com/journal/9153180/ Thu, 22 Jun 2006 21:28:24 PDT

I was ashamed that, as a fan of Europian metal, especially metal from Finland, I was ashamed to have not heard of Lordi pre-Eurovision '06 and to have not gone and listened to Lordi before now, June. So Downloading was in order.

I downloaded Dima's entry, and for some reason another one of his songs came up on the list. It was sung in Russian. Dima's entry was English. That extra song was "Slezi" and because of it I went on a Dima Bilan Downloading spree.

I love him.. Quite ironic since, had he been an English singer, I would've hated him. The singing in a language other than English seems to make me love music more. Probably because, without my mental side trying to understand what's going on I can appreciate it more.. But that doesn't explain why I like "Amene Toi Chez Nous", another so-called "pop" song in French, one of my two first languages.

I guess I just don't like people singing in English. Still. I love Dima Bilan. He's Teh Sekhs.

And Lordi? I haven't been able to pull myself away from the Dima to listen to my new Lordi downloads..

I officially like pop when it isn't in english.

I guess I should've realised that when I started liking Projet Orange.


mmmm.... I couldn't resist advertizing my my new interest. Or something like that.
I intend to come out with more of Bonhomme Bonhomme.

First reaction? O Mein goodness! It's me!

Well not quite those words... but... I wear black cat ears... I have reddish brown hair and generally stick to darker colours... My eyes are a different color.. but still! It's me!

The artist has other really great stuff too... And she like Dir En Grey! Yay!

My worst class is Chemistry. The teacher is scary. Everything makes sense, and is so logical, but it's just so... much work. Yes.
We haven't blown anything up yet and that's sad.

Then is math... I missed one class because I had a curling game, and I was lost after. Stupid functions and inequalities. It all makes sense now though. The teacher is nice though, she is one of our two curling coaches so I know her and therefore probably be able to ask for help if I ever stop understanding again... Math and chemistry seem to be classes that will be constant work.

English then... It will be a challenge. Mostly because I like to read and know that my writing is abysimal. And I hate that, and so I will challenge myself to be better. It should be an easy enough class though... somehow reading this text half of the class didn't know what an "abyss" was.. sure the texts have been written in a pretty old fashioned way and I had trouble understanding at points.. the formats are incredibly messed up... I like it. The class makes me feel smart. And that is a rare thing I plan on enjoying. To think I got a sixty last year and the teacher suggested I take one of the lower level Englishes this year...

Yes.

Ooooh.. real good photographer here on dA I had to resist favoriting his whole gallery... I saw him comment on this person who I forget who it was's page and the name "IzNoGooD" caught my name... it's the name of a character in this [french] comic book I used to read when I was a kid.. and I would still read.. yah... it was all about how Iznogood wants to be calif in the place of the calif, to whom he is Grand Vizir, and all his crazy plots always fail and the calif [who is a tad stupid] never notices and actually think Iznogood is his best friend when..... yaaaaaah.... I liked the comic ok? And IzNoGooD Is Good. ]]> ~maethoriell http://maethoriell.deviantart.com/journal/7555688/ http://maethoriell.deviantart.com/journal/7555688/ Mon, 09 Jan 2006 15:39:27 PST The APPD being the "Anarchistische Pogo-Partei Deutschlands" [Anarchist Pogo Party of Germany] a self-declared party of the Pöbel (mob) and "social parasites". It was created in 1981 by two punks in Hannover and took part in the 1998 election to the Bundestag with the promise to pay the voters with free beer. The official communication organ is the paper Armes Deutschland ("Poor Germany").
The party took part in the German federal election, 2005 with their chancellor candidate Wolfgang Wendland, who is also the lead singer of the german punk-band "Die Kassierer".

Why go get German citizenship just to vote for them? lessee...
Here are their goals;
-Right for unemployment with full salary
-Youth pension instead of retirement pension
-Cancellation of compulsory education
-Creation of centers for physical love
-Abolition of police
-Legalization of all drugs
-Cancellation of the right to demonstrate WITH announcement
-Totale Rückverdummung ("Total Restupidification") and Balkanisation of humanity

Sounds like heaven to me...

And it could work! Look at a brief history of this pretty political party;
The party was founded in 1981 by two 17-year-olds with the nicknames Zewa (a leading handkerchief brand) and Kotze (vomit). In the following years it was joined by many punks and organized many demonstrations, which were sometimes ended by the police, often leading to arrests. The party was dissolved in 1986, but was recreated in 1994 and soon chose to participate in elections. In the 1997 Hamburg city elections the APPD received 5.3% of the votes in St. Pauli and thus became the fourth-strongest party. In 1998 the APPD ran in the Bundestag election with Karl Nagel as its candidate for the chancellorship, and using slogans like "Work is shit" ("Arbeit ist Scheiße") and "Drinking, drinking, each day only drinking" ("Saufen! Saufen! Jeden Tag nur saufen"). The APPD failed, however, to gain the 0.5% of the votes needed to pay to the voters in the form of a promised large party with free beer. With approximately 35,000, or 0.1%, of the votes, the APPD outperformed the LaRouchist BüSo party and the German Communist Party DKP. Finally the party was dissolved in 1999. In December 2000 the APPD was reestablished in Munich, but did not participate in the Bundestag election of 2002. For the participation in the European election 2004 sufficiently many signatures were collected, these did not arrive however due to a mistake by party chairman Christoph Grossmann.

Just so you know, Pogo-Anarchismus (Pogo-anarchism) is different from the standard anarchism, but there are more differences than commonalities. The pogo-anarchistic theory seeks only for an easy life with much free,alcohol and no work, whereas more traditional movements in anarchism promote labor as fundamental to a society based on cooperative living. The concept of Balkanisation is introduced to split up the country into different parts:
-"Asoziale Parasiten-Zonen" (APZ, asocial parasite zone) for pogo-anarchists and other asocials, who prefer not to work and rather drink beer.
-"Sichere Beschäftigungs-Zonen" (SBZ, safe occupation zone) for straight-laced workaholics who will finance the good life of the people in the APZ. This is a pun, since the SBZ in West German use (used till late into the Brandt era by the conservative press) meant the Sowjetisch besetzte Zone (Soviet Occupied Zone), the predecessor of the GDR.
-"Gewalt-Erlebnis-Parks" (GEP, violence experience parks) for incurable violent offenders and nazis with special areas set aside as ethnic theme parks for cultural minorities (such as lederhosen-wearing Bavarians), to avoid too close contact between these pogo races lest the pursuit of what each considers necessary for happiness suffers. These parks will be surrounded by very high walls.
The APPD was the first German party to propagate the idea of guaranteed minimum income, with its idea of a "youth pension", long before this concept entered the realm of mainstream political discussion.




So you see? It would cause an utter Utopia!

The Humor of Jack Handey

I was taking my little nephew to disneyland, but i decided to play a mean trick. i pulled up next to an old, burned down warehouse. "Oh no," i said. "Disneyland burned down." He started crying, and i was about to tell him it was all a joke and drive to the real disneyland, but it was getting kinda late.

If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

It takes a big man to cry. It takes an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

The memories of my family outings are still a source of strength to me. I remember we'd all pile into the car - I forget what kind it was - and drive and drive. I'm not sure where we'd go, but I think there were some trees there. The smell of something was strong in the air as we played whatever sport we played. I remember a bigger, older guy we called "Dad." We'd eat some stuff, or not, and then I think we went home. I guess some things never leave you.

If when you die you get a choice between pie heaven and regular heaven, choose pie heaven. It might be a trick but if not mmm-boy

If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy, which one would you think liked dolphins the most? I'd say Flippy, wouldn't you? You'd be wrong, though. It's Hambone.

If I ever went to war, instead of throwing a grenade, I'd throw one of those small pumpkins. Then maybe my enemy would pick up the pumpkin and think about the futility of war. And that would give me the time I need to hit him with a real grenade.

I bet if you reached total enlightenment while drinking beer, it would make beer squirt out your nose.

Why can't the ant and the caterpillar just get along? One eats grass, the other eats Caterpillars... Oh, I see now.

If you rob a bank, and your pants fall down, its okay to laugh. and let your hostages laugh too, because come on, life is funny.

When I die, I would like to go peacefully, in my sleep, like my grandfather did. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.

To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other.

Once my friend told me that he had found Jesus. I thought to myself, "WooHoo, we're rich!" It turns out he meant something different.

A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call up the guy and hold the burning fuse to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby."

Have you ever seen a child, on his way to school, have a car drive past and splash him, and then he just stands there and thinks if he should just go to school or go home and change and be late... And then I drove past and splashed him again!

Instead of studying for finals, what about just going to the Bahamas and catching some rays? Maybe you'll flunk, but you might have flunked anyway; that's my point. ]]> ~maethoriell http://maethoriell.deviantart.com/journal/7009589/ http://maethoriell.deviantart.com/journal/7009589/ Thu, 10 Nov 2005 13:45:15 PST ... but this time it seems a bit different... so what if I have five labs due tomorrow that I haven't started?

I had not been expecting it at all... specially since outside of friends from school I've barely told anyone.. cuz they never knew I wasn't... and it would be awkward if I did.. I have to sometime soon though.. Yah.. The chanter wasn't intended as a birthday gift, but yah.. God... yah..

I had a cross country race today, 5 K, not much, but alot for me, my goal was to not come in last, I reached that goal. there were four people either behind me or that died... I know there were at least two other girls behind me. (there were 78 runners) Their names were Robin and Monika, they go to Bell High School. I'm pretty sure that Robin is the same girl that was right in front of me and that caused me to come in last in 2004... It would be amusing... yah.. I came in last to every single meet last year. But this time, I had a goal! And I reached it! I woke up this morning and I was so sure I wouldn't... and yah I deal with failure badly (which is bad because I am a failure)... I was even more sure when we didnt have time to walk the track, which is bad because cross country is well, cross country, in and out of forest over and down hills etc.. it can be confusing, last year, I didn't walk my first meet,and I got lost, and last... Paragraph break time.

Yah. So basically.. all morning I was in horridly anxious and kinda bad mood, and yah.. prayed muchly that I wouldn't be last.. cuz that would be a baaad thing.. life personalish things... I would blame myself so much.. I know I could've trained so much more... seriously... last practice, well the coach had to go register us get taxis all lined up ( not that THAT did much good) it wasn't at a time regularly scheduled, so only three of us showed up,and well I did three laps, not of our of our regular circuit (it's something like 1.4 k)... I cheated... ran the whole first loop second time I ran for something like an eith of it an cut it in half, and walked the remaining quarter.. well actually it was the first quarter I walked then I cut in half and ran for a quarter of the loop, I did the same for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... random spasme in leg............ oooow..... yes.. I did the same for our last loop. ( not a leg spasme but a quarter running and a quarter walking)

yah. hmm am I forgetting anything ah. the actual race. I was ok for longer than I thought I could ... there were too many places where people could see me... I have this thing were I don't like to show weakness... so yah.. I managed to barely walk anything... except well at the end I got the biggest cramp inexistence. I maged to run with it for a while because well I heard that thats the only thing to do.. ignore it... but then I could hardly move.. so I had to walk.. but I managed to sprint to the finish! yah.. my body wasn't really tired more in pain from the evil evil cramp... the sprint was good, Monika and Robin were catching up to me.

A bit after we went to this "Bar and Grill" that was right beside the runnig place ( we were at the arboretum which is right beside Dows lake for those of you from Ottawa), I got yummy hot soup, and our coach bought us hotchocolat.. it vas good... because it was wet and miserable.. and very very muddy and cold... yeeah... and what is worse is that another school, Mother Teresa High school's team stole our cab, then the cab driver that got sent to replace him got lost then we had to wait even longer so as to finally get into the third cab intended for us. the only one that picked us up. in resumee we plan on beating up the mother teresa team at our next meet. And we had to wait in the rain for an extra hour, it also means I got home at 5:30, had to run to my chiropractors apointment, for which I was much late, and I didn't have time to buy myself a new reed for my saxophone, which I need. ]]> ~maethoriell http://maethoriell.deviantart.com/journal/6709397/ http://maethoriell.deviantart.com/journal/6709397/ Sat, 08 Oct 2005 02:57:56 PDT ~maethoriell http://maethoriell.deviantart.com/journal/6670342/ http://maethoriell.deviantart.com/journal/6670342/ Mon, 03 Oct 2005 16:06:45 PDT [link]

Check it out! ....k.. so kinda blasphamous-y but you gotta admit... It is amusing...

Will do more bonhomme.. when I'm in photoshop slacking mood... currently in a checking e-mails and comics a million times slacking mood... ]]> ~maethoriell http://maethoriell.deviantart.com/journal/6636051/ http://maethoriell.deviantart.com/journal/6636051/ Thu, 29 Sep 2005 16:54:42 PDT Ya know I kinda see what they mean by God loving his creation unconditionally, I am proud of (maybe not love..) my stuff, no matter how horrid I know it is...

Yesh... I know, this journal is just another excuse to not do my homework straight away...
In other news, a cool quote from a not so good book;
"Instruction in world history in the so-called high schools is even today in a very sorry condition. Few teachers teachers understand that the aim of studying history can never be to learn historical dates and events by heart an recite them by rote;that what matter is not whether the child knows exactly when this or that battle was faught, when a general was born, or even when a monarch (usually a very insignificant one) came into the crown of his forefathers. No by the living God, this is very insignificant.
To'learn' history means to seek and to find the forces which are the causes leading to those effects which we subsequently perceive as historical events.
The art of reading as of learning is this: to reatain the essential, to forget the non-essential."

Found on page 14 of mein book.

Yesh... Also.. the youth leader at my church lost his job and has kid due at the end of november.. so if anyone is dying soon and needs someone to do their taxes.. well he can... yesh... I like that word. I don't like writing lab reports.

Or writing french stuff.. wellI do, but not stuff like what they make us do for the class... It's annoying.. It's actually getting a slight bit hard.. I am losing my french.. sure I am happy that the french contamination never completed itself in me (I was only thinking in french half the time when I left the Evil place).. but being bilingual is important for future jobs... Oh! in music we're doing arrangements of songs...it's fun.. I've done one of the three variations I had to do, but yah... after I have no idea what to do... I do not understand chords, so I can't use those and well.. changing styles? I can't tell what the difference is between jazz and classical music when on paper, other than the font used... ehm. Bio is fun.. Cells are wierd. passive transport does not require energy but it does because for passive transport to work you need active transport which requires energy.. or something wierd like that.. the diagram makes even less sense... for what I will call social studies (though everyone calls it anthro because the actual name is intro to anthropology, psychology and sociologie) we are doing surveys.. I get to make all the random people I know take suveys... the hypothesis we're supposed to try and prove is that most students know what career the want to pursue after graduation... I should make a paragraphe break right here. I will.

yes, Anthro. fun french. I have fun noticing all the anglecismes the teacher makes... heheh... Freud is wierd but fun. The teacher doesn't like him, except for his ideas about defense mechanismes... they actually make sense.. course the other stuff did to... Oh! random thing I remember! Hitler disliked Marx. My mum, was all he's evil cuz he as practically a disciple of Karl Marx... twas amusing... sure I'm not done Mein Kampf, so he might change his mind later.. Seriously, he used to be against Anti-semitisme when he was younger! So you never know if he'll change his mind, though I doubt it, I am pretty sure that this is the big deciding part of the book, he'll probably be getting into the whole planning of death camps after this part...

Well, I really need to do these labs... they were due today..

Namaarie etc etc

Wow. I do not make sense. This is long. I really don't want to do homework. I am not looking over this for grammatical errors.

In other news, I went to Intercity at the met yesterday ( [link] ). It was great! I cant wait till the 29th.. Its going to be at the corel center! Yay! Also, my keyboard is evil and, for some reason, french (its supposed to be English) and so, I cannot do apostrophes.


I am slowly but surely going through my deviantart mesages... (Deviant ~maethoriell has 57 new messages ( 34D, 5H, 6M, 12J )) I got most of the journals done this morning....

yesh..

School is moderately evil. I have French, Music, Biology, and Introduction à lAnthropologie, Sociologie et Psychologie (its in French yes).

French, well its ok.. The teacher is nice, shes new et all.. but the people? I dont know anyone. The people I sorta know, are friends with those people I had to do a history project with last year.. I sucked at it.
I believe they blame me for them not getting an overly wondrous mark. (though it was a pretty good one)

Music, as per usual, is beautifully fun... Oh! Interesting factoid about it, we have a german exchange student in it! Teh wewtness.. German is a very pretty language I want to learn. I still suck at my instrument (Tenor Saxomaphone) but that doesna stop me from loving it. In the actual class, I am still the only Tenor, but there are four altos.. loudest instruments in the class.. and band, band there are... Im not sure how many.. but many (more).... there are three Tenors this year in band though! Tis wondrous! Ders moi, a grade twelve (one of the lone two) that plays alto in normal classes, and a grade nine. She has more experience than any of us. I have been playing for two years (this is my third), the other dude, though he has been playing alto for a very too long, has only been playing for a semester. The grade nine whose name has completely slipped mein mind, has been playing three years.
So Ive figured, when I get to grade twelve Ill finally be able to play on the same level as the grade nines...

Yesh, now, Anthro, real interesting, kinda wierd, annoying cuz I have all the gergifull preppy evil bubbleheads( Sarah M**n, Breanne R**h) in that class, but good thing; my friend who loves LotR, Nightwish and Within Temptations as well is in that class... mmhmm... Kiss the Frogs as Jason would say...

Bio, extreme funness, confuzzling, homework worthy of slackage (am currently doing such slackage), but incredibly intriguing.
I know one person in the class, that I met this year, and is in my music class, the lone Tromboner of the class and band... And probably school...

Aye.

Crosscountry running is something I am doing this year too... My aim is to not come in last at any of the meets this year. I think I might actually be able to do it.

I am also having fun wit youth groups... Going to two... one at a church that is fairly close to my house (Cedarview Alliance) on tuesdays, and the youth group of the church I attend (Living Waters Christian Assembly) on fridays... and the school Bible study is starting something like next wednesday... mucho funness...

Man I have become such a different person compared to who I was this time last year..

That ist a gud thing.

aye. ]]> ~maethoriell http://maethoriell.deviantart.com/journal/6380476/ http://maethoriell.deviantart.com/journal/6380476/ Wed, 31 Aug 2005 16:54:14 PDT    Word creates language,
   Which is the most common form of communication [for humans]

   But think past that,
   Forget it's uses for a moment,
   Ponder it's beauty,
   The wonder of Word

   Flower,
   Why do those particular sounds,
   Represent flower?

   John,
   Why was it decided that it would written with an "H"?
   Why not Jon instead?

   Instead
   Meaning "in it's stead"
   Why is it no longer said like that?

   Word,
   So close to World,
   Humans everywhere use Word

   Some use sign language to say it,
   But Word,
   Is universal

Aye.. patheticness.. was talking bout words with a friend and decided to type this up... I wrote it a while back ( Either november 12th 2004 or December 11th 2004, I dated it 11/12/04).

Turns ot I no longer have a job. I was too "slow".

Meh. doesn't bother me too I now have a lot less to worry about time wise with school starting et all.

I was planning on going out tonight to go swimming... Unfortunatly my bathing suit ist broken.

At least the book I had requested from the library finally got to our library branch and once I pay my fine I can finally read what made people like Hitler so much... I requested Mein Kampf... it's going to be an interesting read...

And comics will come soon. I have what is happening all planned out. I just have to get on my other computer sometime early in the morning before my sister claims it... ]]> ~maethoriell http://maethoriell.deviantart.com/journal/6282062/ http://maethoriell.deviantart.com/journal/6282062/ Sat, 20 Aug 2005 18:50:06 PDT is a banned user...

And I will perhaps gain a convert to saxophonisme.
:Evil Grin:

...and it will give me a chance to practice learning new instrument... Bagpipes will come soon.

I HAVE A NEW REED!

Earlier today I finally went out and bought meself (and my friend who I will be sorta teaching Sax to) a new reed... I went to the closer music store (Melodium Music for all of you from Borehaven) and discovered that they do not carry Rico 3 reeds! The horror! For the first time in my life I will be using a non-Rico reed!

This Vandoren reed better be good.. twas more expensive.. guess it was time to try different kinds...

So far I have used 2 1/2 (about two of my reeds...) Rico normal reeds, 3 Rico normal reed and 3 Rico plasticover.

But it is now time to move on to AH! Stay away you evil!

Vandoren is from FRANCE!!


I am now obligated to use FRENCH product!

..not that I really care.. some french stuff is good like Lavoi backbacks! Speaking of which I finally got mine repaired... I had had mine since grade six and it began to tear this year.


Ehem. Please forgive me, I seem to have misplaced my usual (un-electronic) Journal... That and my book of (Very poorly written) Poems.

I fear that one of my elder sisters may have stolen it, or worse my mum; I know she read my other sisters ones previously since they left theirs' out occasionally (in the (not) privacy of their rooms) I hope that is not what happened.

...My room technically isn't (a room) so I tried hard to hide it, but I wanted to type something so I think I may have left them by the computer...

I bore ye all and so, Namaarie

I have to work on saturday from 7 am to 3 pm!

Now normally that would not be a problem, but, well Saturday at 2 is this persons wedding!

Unfortunately I cannot switch shifts with anyone because I'm still in training.

I am very sad by ths turn of events, weddings are always so great, and I have to miss it!

DeviantArt, in my opinion, is becoming less about COMMUNITY and more about CORPORATION.

So what we need to do is bring back THE COMMUNITY.

Here's my suggestion.

On August 7th, DA turns five years old. Five years for a website like this should be a grand affair, one big event.

So don't submit anything on August 7th.

I'm talking a print, a deviation, a scrap...nothing.

Instead, just leave a comment. Visit a user's page and just say hi.

If someone wants to buy a subscription that day, I'm all in favor or it. It'll keep the servers going, and anything that keeps the hamster running is a good thing.

BUT...I think folks shouldn't buy any prints. No print subscriptions. That goes against the COMMUNITY theme for the day.

We want to put the COMMUNITY back into DA.

Sounds like a good idea eh? ]]> ~maethoriell http://maethoriell.deviantart.com/journal/6052436/ http://maethoriell.deviantart.com/journal/6052436/ Wed, 27 Jul 2005 21:12:23 PDT
Well today is my last day of free subscription.. I almost feel ashamed to not have bought a subscription now...

I am disapointed that I did not take advantage of it as much as I could have..

Another thing of which it has been the last day is class.
I have my exam on friday.

Summer school was bearable, the class itself was fairly boring, but it was an experience that I wouldn't mind repeaing too much...

If I manage to do well on everything next year I am hoping to take physics next summer.

Man..I'm almost smart now.. I have an 84% right now, that is my pre-exam grade... It is more than double the 41% that caused me to fail math initially!

Well I'm off.

I hope to upload something later... well technically it's today seeing as it is 12:07 am..

Oh!

I have written a rough draft of dialogue for Bonhomme Bonhomme!

...Yes. Class was that boring.

I decided on names too... had some fun with them too...

Just think Azreal.

Ok so I am slowly but surely reading the great book that is the Inklings, and in this second part the author has begun speaking of one Charles Williams.
Now, the Inklings is a biography of a group of authors in Oxford that would get together and read their works that were in progress and would criticize each others works etc. that group called itself the "Inklings". The book concentrates on the three more famous memebers of the group, J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Charles Williams.

I previously had never heard of Charles Williams (though I now plan on finding and reading some of his works) and I had begun reading the book because Tolkien and Lewis are two of my favourite authors. The first part of the book concentrated mostly on C.S. Lewis and Tolkien and that made me quite content, gobbling up information about my two favourite is something I enjoy immensely.

When I got to the second part of the book and I realised that it would be concentrating on Charles Williams I thought I would be bored, but then a half-dozen or so pages in It was stated that he was initiated as a member into the Order of the Golden Dawn!

It seems so far from what I have read that this affected greatly his writings etc.

I will probably say more later but yah.

I find it so , I don't know, amazing, intriguing, odd, that all these famous british people are connected.

Aleister Crowley is in a way connected to J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis... I wonder if they ever met... I need to read more.

Many oddities.

Well... Comiing on deviantart today I noticed that some things seemed a bit different... and well.. I turns out deviantart gave me one of those subscription teasers...
You know how deviantart has been giving out temporairy subscriptions to get more people interested in buying their own subscription... It is coming near to working in my case.. I have a job now.. I might be able to afford it...
Yes. This has been a moment of happiness in a fairly stressful week.
Thank you very much O you person who decided to give this to me.

Much Yayfulness!

It's just odd that the year is over now.

It seems like it was just yesterday was my first day at this new school.

I remember being so lost and not knowing anyone.

Even now a year later, It seems the same!

I still don't really know anyone.

That fact just annoys me.

It seems like I have never really known anyone.. it annoys me.

bla I'm pressing add now. ]]> ~maethoriell http://maethoriell.deviantart.com/journal/5583140/ http://maethoriell.deviantart.com/journal/5583140/ Tue, 07 Jun 2005 19:29:59 PDT
don't ask me what stupid thing I did, just be satisfied with the fact that I did something incredibly stupid.

Something I had told myself not to, but still I did.

Hopefully I'll never do it again. ]]> ~maethoriell http://maethoriell.deviantart.com/journal/5554641/ http://maethoriell.deviantart.com/journal/5554641/ Sat, 04 Jun 2005 19:48:38 PDT
