So rather than pining for what was, I will ecstatically look forward to what is coming, in the very near future.
Exams have begun and I had my first one today which was not actually an exam, for it was for my PAL class and it was only a test of our physical fitness and to see how it has progressed through the year. HURRAY. Yes it was oh so thrilling...Tomorrow I have Math, and then on Thursday it will be English and Biology. Math and Bio are my dreaded ones; English is easy for me...
So wish me luck for I am sure I will need it for the aforementioned.

*sigh*
oh well, i'll be 17 and 366 days. and so on...until i decide that its time to accept the fact that i'm 18. haha.

I'm tired of 'going with the flow' and allowing everything that happens around me to affect me in a negative way. I'm tired of having little tiny things bother me so deeply, so today was the beginning of a new era for me.
And although I still had my moments of letting things bother me, it was so much better to be happy, and back to my laid back old self. I've missed it.
The key is to step back and realign your direction and to find where you're headed in life and what is standing in your way, and then you rise and conquer. Speaking of such things, (actually it's completely unrelated, but we'll pretend) there's this awesome site which is as follows: [link] and it has some pretty rad quotes on it, and I am not mildly obsessed with learning latin, for I find it to be a fascinating language...I'd also like to learn Greek and Hebrew, but for right now I'll focus on Latin. Anyway, some of the quotes made me burst into laughter because they were so ridiculously random...anyway, that is my pointless story for this night.
Someday I'll upload some stuff, as soon as I burn the CD with all of my pictures on it...and go to a place that has "real internet" WOOOOO
Love and Peace to all

I hope I'm not the only one who finds this completely revolting, because if I am, I will be even more discouraged with the state of the world.
Reason number 557 why I am NEVER have children. It would only be cruel to put a child through the rigours of every day life in the world that we live in today; and from the way that I see it, it will only get worse.

anyway. i want to go home...wait i am home. i want to go to austria, (etc) because they have a certain gazebo that i would like to visit...haha. andddddddddd. i want to fly. no not in an actual aeroplane, but with my arms outstretched. i want to paint a picture, but i am incapable of that type of art. i want to feed the hungry children in africa, but i have no money or food. i want war to end. i want peace to become a part of everyone. i want to not be selfish ever again. i want others to learn to care for others rather than just running over them with words and actions. i want people to...realize their need for Jesus. And the same for me. i think i should stop this little rampage...haha.
i just want to do something new because i'm getting sick of ruitine and even more than that, just no variation, or little variation at least. there is so much out there in the world to experience and i feel as though i am wasting my time being here learning about logarithms, which i will never use again. among many other wondrous things.
i want to see a unicorn
i....want to go to bed.

i...have an umbrella (purchased today) and it is yellow, and i can't wait for a rainy day when i can go puddle-jumping with the awesome yellow umbrella...yeah thats right, i'm 5 years old.
i have come to a realization regarding the fact that i am tireddd and need to go to sleep; hence this sad journal entry.
farewell one, and farewell all, and to all a good night.

Anyway, if any others are out there taking exams this week, or in a near week to come, I wish you all the best of luck with that.

This evening a whole group of us went skating at the local arena. The place was quite packed, but it was an enjoyable time nonetheless. While I was skating about with young Ferdinand, he was telling me his conspiracy theories regarding all of the children that were skating about, swerving in and out of everyone and being generally obnoxious, and he had decided that they were all gremlins. So after a few more laps around the rink, he skated up to me again, and lo and behold, he had discovered none other than...THE RINGLEADER!!! Yes, it was a full grown gremlin, who had swerved in front of his path, cutting him off, thereby indicating that he MUST be the ringleader. So, I being the hero of the night, decided that something must be done, and so off I skated, at high speeds, in hot pursuit of this evil gremlin who had caused potential harm towards my friend. (Please note that I did not set out on this mission with any ideas of hurting the man, for I happen to be a loving person, not one who is filled with
anger.) ANYWAY, so off I went, but this particular gremlin was quite a sneaky guy, and was very quick and could dodge in and out of everyone with ease, compared to my rather klutzy skating, but I was determined. (Determined to what you may ask? Well I don't know either, I'm just making the story sound much more dramatic than it really is.) So after quite a few laps of this high-speed chase, I began to grow weary, and whilst in the middle of the skating rink, I suddenly had this picture of myself, skating all around the arena chasing after some 60 year old man with headphones and a hat, making a complete fool of myself (to any who had noticed at least, which was probably few.) And without being able to help myself, I immediately burst into laughter, thereby making myself an even bigger spectacle, for it is not often that you see a random girl skating around the rink by herself, laughing her head veritably off...which of course only made me laugh harder. So my friends Ferdinand and Steve had caught up
with me at this point, and commended me on my excellent attempt at a chase, and, after my laughing had ceased, I looked up to see, none other than the gremlin himself racing by again, so I took off after him once more, and managed a couple more laps before I cracked into laughter again, and gave up, due to the fact that I realized it was time to stop the ridiculousness of the whole affair. And both I and the gremlin, skated off on our merry seperate ways, never to be chased again. THE END.
So there you have the tale Ferdinand, just as I promised it. I hope you enjoyed it, and to the others who read this, just be still and know that I can actually act like a normal person, but it is only when I am tired that my more...eccentric side comes out, and kind of takes over, which may be found as frightening to some, but alas! I cannot help it, for it runs in the family...
Peace.

We turned around facing the house again, and decided simultaneously that we may as well investigate the old place, because after all, what were the chances of a mishap? So we went up to it again, and went up the stairs, still feeling a little uneasy. We took two or three steps inside, stopped, and heard this odd thudding sound. As we had already been a little edgy, I immediately emitted a loud scream, which caused Jen to scream as well, and we turned around and both took flying leaps off of the deck, which was approximately 5 feet high. Since it was a little bit slippery, my feet slipped out from under me, but I lept up and we both raced down the driveway as fast as we could.
Sadly, we never discovered what the source of the thudding noise had been due to the terror that had been struck into my heart at least, and so I refused to go up again to investigate further.
All in all, it was a very amusing time and regardless of the creepiness, an enjoyable time nonetheless.
It seems like the story is missing something, but alas! we discovered nothing else than the odd sound...maybe one of these days there will be a part 2.

I lost about 5 pounds or something like that since Sunday, but that will be gained back quickly now that I have an appetite again. Anyway, that is all I had to inform you of.
Have a most pleasant day.

I can't wait to experience a feeling of freedom that I have not yet experienced. I can't wait to see old friends. I can't wait to see my dreams coming to fruition. I can't wait to experience everything I have dreamed of since I was a child! Well, I can wait, mainly because I have to, but let's just put it this way, I am looking forward to all of these aforementioned things with
great anticipation, and wait expectantly for the days when these things will come to pass. What an odd thing life is, how you can be so completely depressed one day, not nescessarily for any reason in particular, and then the next you can be ecstatic for so many things that you "can't wait" to do. If only every day were spent like that, looking forward at things to come, and experiencing them with unexplicable joy...but for right now, I have that unexplicable joy, and that is all that matters right now.

One day I might just type it up and post it here for your reading pleasure. Anyway, so yes I have returned from chilly Alberta to warmer Nova Scotia. It is nice to be back, yet it was an enjoyable time travelling, and it has made me feel even more like just getting up and travelling somewhere, no destination in mind, just anywhere. Ah well, one of these days that is what I shall do. And by the way, on this trip this just past weekend, I was on a roller coaster for the very first time in my life. (In West Edmonton Mall) So yes, go me! haha. So I do believe that I shall bring this
rather pointless journal to the end. Guten Abend

Internet - so I can actually upload my pictures
Time - to be able to photograph and upload to my hearts desire.
That's all. The only one with a chance of happening would be the one in the middle. So I hope that such a thing may come to pass as soon as is possible. WOOOO. Until then, I will contine to seem as if I have fallen off the face of the dA realm. Patience is a virtue, as they say. I should work on possessing more than I currently do.
Ok, so this is the end of my pointless Journal entry. Please feel free to make your donations to the Sarah fund, any amounts would be gratefully accepted.

random crap that took place of which there was no need. The sad part was the last day when everyone was leaving, and there was the uncertainty of wondering whether I would ever see certain ones again...always a little bit depressing, but thats just the way life goes. And speaking of depressing things, my mom woke me up this morning to inform me of a friend of our family who was in a tragic motercycling accident, and was killed instantly. Not a great way to start the morning. He was probably in his mid-forties, and lived in Calgary. He used to be one of my dad's fellow teachers years and years ago, and just in March we visited him and his son. In a way it was, if you will allow me to say it, an opportune time for his passing, as horrible as that sounds. But a couple weeks ago he had come back home to visit his old friends and his parents, and he was in a wedding, etc. So people had a last chance to visit with him, which is a blessing. The situation is still horrific though, and it will be very hard
news to deal with for many people. Anyway, I know that none of you know him so this means nothing to you, but thats ok. I just think that it is very important to realize how fragile our lives really are, and how easily lives can be taken, completely unexpectedly. I think it is important to remember that so you can live each day in a manner that you are not ashamed of, in the ways you treat others, and in the choices that you make. It kind of reminds me of the song 'New York Minute' by the Eagles. It's a good song, and I think you should all just go and listen to it if you've never heard it. Just a suggestion.
Anyway, I think that I should be done now, I'm just rambling on and on. But hey, you're not obligated to read this.
Peace out/ ]]> ~paint-a-picture http://paint-a-picture.deviantart.com/journal/9176609/ http://paint-a-picture.deviantart.com/journal/9176609/ Sun, 25 Jun 2006 08:35:09 PDT anyway, i wish everyone else who may read this a pleasant summer, and i'll be back on here in several weeks.
peace ]]> ~paint-a-picture http://paint-a-picture.deviantart.com/journal/9069310/ http://paint-a-picture.deviantart.com/journal/9069310/ Wed, 14 Jun 2006 17:40:33 PDT So I picked some of those to add to my small handful, and then headed back to my house. While on the way, I looked up into the woods on the side of the road, and what did I see but a Lady Slipper! These seem to be quite rare in this area, so I was rather excited. I wished I had my camera, but I hadn't brought it with me in my haste to leave the house
so I had to be satisfied to merely look at it. I continued on down the road to my house, and walked all the way up my driveway for the 3rd time today. I got my exercise. I felt much better after my walk, and when I got up to the house I took some picture of the daisies, which I will put up here as soon as I can. Then, since it was still pretty light out, I decided that it would be worth my while to go and try to capture the Lady Slipper on camera, so off I went again, running down my driveway. I arrived back at its location and luckily it was still bright enough that a couple of my pictures turned out. By this time it was raining even harder, which made me glad, because there is nothing quite like a jaunt in a downpour. Anyway, to end this lovey tale, I arrived back at my house once again, and looked at the pictures I had taken on a larger screen. Some turned out rather well I thought, while others were blurry or dark, etc, but overall I was happy with the results of my excursion.
Then comes the bad part of my story. I went back to my computer where I was studying, and after only a minute of being on it, a message pops up that something or other had performed an illegal operation. And my computer froze, and since I had stupidly not saved my work, I lost it alllll. I was angry. But I'm ok now, mainly because I'm past caring.
So there is my evening for you. Good job if you've actually read all this, for it was quite the lengthy tale. OH WELL.

yeah well, thats where i'm at right now. OH WELL. at this
point, i'm just looking forward to the school year being over.
if my exam marks suck, thats just too bad.

in the meantime, i should probably sleep so i have a better
chance of passing at least, haa.

have no real internet, I CAN'T UPLOAD THEM. It angers me
slighlty, but its ok, for I think I will upload them on
Monday sometime. Are you excited? If not, you should
work on that, ok?
I can't wait for the summer to end for the following reasons:
a) I will have a new computer.
b) I will have a better camera (hopefully!)
c) I WILL HAVE INTERNET! haha.
Other than that, I want summer to last a long time. Its just
I will not have money until the summer is over, hence I must
patiently wait (or attempt at the patience at least) until
there will be some funding in my bank account and I can afford
to do those three aforementioned things. effffff.

In any case, new pictures will finally be up soon.

Gazing through the window at the world outside
Wondering if mother earth will survive
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her, sometime

After all theres just the two of us
And here we are still fighting for our lives
Watching all of history repeat itself, time after time

I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away
I'm just a dreamer, who dreams of better days

I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
I'm hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
A better place for those who will come after us this time
....etc. Anyway, I like it and thats all I wanted to say. ]]> ~paint-a-picture http://paint-a-picture.deviantart.com/journal/8971877/ http://paint-a-picture.deviantart.com/journal/8971877/ Sun, 04 Jun 2006 19:14:49 PDT in church, in life...it was neat. I liked it. And I had the
thought that I should just become a cross between a Hippie
and a Mennonite, I mean why not right? You could be the laid
back happy person who's all about peace and such, yet live a
completely simple life. Maybe I'm just weird like that and
think that it sounds like fun whereas no one else would,
I don't know. Anyway, I'll tell my Mennonite tale later,
for right now sleep is what I'd like. Getting up at 7 on a
Sunday morning is NOT something that thrills my soul.

could...but now I want a new song to learn. And I ran out
of inspiration. Anyone have any suggestions of good songs
to learn on le guitar?? Any ideas would be appreciated.

I'm feeling rather pained today due to the fact that yesterday
was sports day. My muscles hurt. Unfortunately there was a
creepy guy there with his camera, who was constantly trying
to take pictures of everyone, and so I spent my time escaping
that, also. I don't appreciate it when I make myself clear
that I do not want to have my picture taken, and they still
try to...why is that anyway? Is there some kind of joy in
torturing a poor soul that way?

I must go away somewhere and figure this out.

peace. ]]> ~paint-a-picture http://paint-a-picture.deviantart.com/journal/8866130/ http://paint-a-picture.deviantart.com/journal/8866130/ Wed, 24 May 2006 16:57:15 PDT type that would have been considered great about...20 years
ago? haha, maybe not quite, but its really old. Another
thing, I don't have actual factual internet...type this in
and you will see what I have: telnet://chebucto.ns.ca
It's pretty gay, and since that is all I have at home, I
cannot do a whole lot, for example upload new pictures onto
this lovely deviantART location, among many other things.
The point of why I'm telling you all of this is that to
merely inform you that I am not going to get a lot of chances
to upload stuff on here, so it may be slow in changing, but
I promise you I will do the best I can.

Despite this problem, I am all excited about my account here
and I'm looking forward to putting up stuff...mainly because
I have no life and I find entertainment out of making profiles
such as this, so yeah. Haha.
Anyway I'm done with my little storytime now. K? K.
