i cant think of a blog title

~= NEW START =~

2007-01-31T18:23:00.000-08:00

So for me, my first semester is over and a new one is about to begin...sigh...its about time it was getting kinda hard.
I did my last exam and my brain still thinks that it has to think about math,science,and s.s....so its kinda weird. Ill be like ok, i want to go on the comuter and my brain will automaticly think HOMEWORK and im still thinking like that. But its kinda nice to just stay at home and be lazy for a day.
And ya. I dont really have anything to say haha just like my last post accept for yay for a new semester!!

Shifting of Focus?

2007-01-27T15:43:00.000-08:00

so where do you think this title came from (hint: its from someones blog) aaand go!! whoever finds it first wins the prize! anyways i have been told to update sevral million times so i have finally found the time to do so...i recently found out that one of my friends has a website called europea and thats about the only discovery i have made this week...other than i finally got a proper windows messenger and that i can still skate. (i havnt skated since 7th grade....) but it was fun all the same, and i didnt fall down this time...once! i no!! Shannon not one face plant? thats horribly amazing. It was really cold though and i didnt bring any gloves..smart eh?
I also have alot of studying to do and apparently i have a s.s. unit test as well...how was i supposed to know..sigh...o well the semester is practiclly over and then its so easy. ya for one core subject hahaa! and no more math till next year!
but ya i have nothing really to say, and its almost impossible to update when there is nothing really happening so i will leave you with that and its off to work for me!

hullo?

2007-01-15T13:51:00.000-08:00

hey..so im really bored and i am at school in last block helpin a friend somewhat with power point but not really, Theres this kid in our class who is replacing our er "regular" teacher until the end of class so i went up to mr miller and was like uh can i go...to the library? and he was like donno dont ask me so i was like but your the teacher! and he said he wasnt. sigh. so i went and asked that kid and he was like ya psh you can leave so we did, and now im bored so ya. Thats how i got here and i should go now and be more social soooo i will leave now hehe

2007-01-02T13:46:00.000-08:00

so i have decided to return and post a well,just something.
This new years seemed to be one of the best i have ever had. Maybe it was the excitement, or the thought of actually counting down the last moments of 2006, or maybe even the fact of spending it with some of the best friends i have ever had. Those others at the guys sleep over we totally owned you in the best party ever! did you actually catch the end of new year this time? remember the time when w started the year off 5 mins late because of the clock that was mmm five minuites off? oh man haha
So we have another week to waste and what to do?
I got this book for crismas from my moms friend and it has some great stuff in it. My moms friend is a little weird to be honest, but then again, we are all a little weird. Anyways she loves to argue with me...alot so i dunno why she got this book for be. It kinda suprised me, but that is beside the point. This book has some awesome poems in it. Like this one....

SUSPICION
A teenager-
closely watched by store security
As to avoid any kind of larceny
throgh his eyes this kid is surely a theif
He surveys her every move
Waiting for the act
So that he can catch her and set her straight
Straight, unlike her tousled bright red hair
He sakes his head in dissaproval
Does she expect people not to stare?

With her graffiti coloured,
over sized jeans ; to wide
black clunky boots; to high
topping it off with nothing at all;
tight tiny shirt, much to small
thick silver chains
her jewlery no doubt
make it easy tokeep track of her whereabouts
thanks to the annoying sound they chime
they look rediculous as though enslaving her
forcing her to go out in public as she does
and yet, she seems confident
proud of her image
security guard wonders when she will grow up
he paces back and forth-impatiently
as if waiting for her to make the change
to "maturity"
before exiting the store

An adult-
walks by with grace and class
lengthly long buisness woman in designer clothing
avoiding eye contact
dodging shoppers
heading directly towards theback of the isle

The security guard finally remembers his objective
and searches for a young girl
who seems to have cleverly slipped away
he listens for rhe sounds of the chains
but everything is instantly drowned out
by the sound of the alarm system
JUSTICE
with a smirk of satisfaction, he turns to face
the scene to catch a glimpse
of the culprit

And as she lowers her blonde head
in shame
the read-headed teenager pays for her
blue nail polish

and this is usually what older people think of most teenagers.
Why are people so critical of us?

Santa vs Jesus

2006-12-18T22:17:00.000-08:00

So christmas is rolling around yet again and this year it finally hit me...This christmas is different, there is something about it. This year its not about the recieving...its about the giving and the love and everything inbetween if you catch my drift. its just something that i cant really explain...all i can say is that its a really good feeling.
But recenly i was walking in the mall with a friend and as we walked past the santa in the mall for the second time this thought crossed my mind...how did santa come to be and did it ever have a segnificance to the actual christmas and the birth of Jesus at all?
Its kinda been sitting there in the back of my head wanting to be answered. I guess what i am trying to say is how did santa come into the picture in the first place?
So i also had a great time with some old friends...kinda last minute notice from the kid up the street but thats typical. So i went bowling and did pretty bad the first couple times...ok i will admit it i didnt even get one pin the first couple of turns sad hey? but eventually i got a bit better and got a spare and a strike but it was still really bad so if anyone wants to practice bowling with me i will definately try my best...
Also a few uf us will have to walk to ardmore this christmas...do you remember that challenge? :P
anyways i should go get the rest of some homework done so buhbye and tune in next week...maybe...

trees or branches?

2006-12-16T15:47:00.000-08:00

So i have just come in from moving a bunch of branches....actually more like trees hah! There were soo many it was crazy, it looked like a bunch of people canme through our yard with chain saws and cut down half the branches in sight hehe.
So yah. I decided to post again and its been quite a while as you can tell, I have been told to update so i did.
But i have nothing to write about. So just a suggestion from me today. REad Werner's blog. Its good.

The a-d-d generation

2006-12-06T17:06:00.000-08:00

So i had the sudden sense to write...but i dont know what to write.
Well i got 12 out of 12 on trig and i can listen but i was determined to figure it out. I was like ok...Shannon you have to listen to this lesson, just this one time or i am going to smack you in the face so i listened to myself for once and actually stayed a bit focused. Usually my brain is listening and is like why am i listening..why?...this is sooo boring and my eyes are like ya! this is a great opertunity to distract her from her learning environment! look something shiny! oooh music! then before you know it...homework is assigned and you dont have a clue what it is about and how to do it. Usually this refers to science and sometimes my socials but not as much as sience because i think science is boring which is probribly half my problem...bordom...my long lost enemy. Anyways back to the whole actually listening thing. I listened to the whole lesson and didnt have to go up and ask one question which is a big accomplishment for me! And after i finished i was allowed to color a coloring sheet! i love coloring...it was a monster truck that was about to run over a lizzard or geko or..something thats not why i liked it though :P
I guess i am half watching tv and it seems the only commercials they have on are christmas comercials...they all have to do with snow, or christmas songs or chrismas trees or anything like that all put together. It kinda makes me nervouse cuz i dont know when i am going to see some santa on tv.
(santa just scares me) I have always been scared of santa. Right down to the kindergarten year when our classish groupish thinger went to see some santa and apparently i screamed and refused to go anywhere near him, there is a pictuer of that too...somewhere in my house. And even later on every christmas around five or so years of age i would refuse to go to sleep untill my mom pursuaded me that santa was not going to come down the chimmny and that she would get him to leave the presents at the front door.
Im supposing that i was very relived when i found out that santa wasnt actually real... So i guess my not knowing what to talk about turned into a case of add talking because i went from homework to santa.... Eh its something i would do and so i have an excuse.
And so i suppose that i shall leave you with that, since i am out of stuff to talk about. buhbye till later!

Bunny love

2006-12-04T16:16:00.000-08:00

So this week was not as exciting as the last but it was still exciting...ish...ok not really! So, I have an interesting story to share with you. Unfortionateley i only heard the better half of the story its called bunny love and it made my day. Anyways before i get off topic i suppose when a certain friend of mine called Jenni was working her shift she was on drive through and there was a guy who cane through with a really thick accent. Hah! now i have you semi interested..hopefully, so anyways he asked for a vanilla cone but of course having a thick accent doesnt really go as far as understandment, especially as you are going through a drive through so back in dairy queen all the frantic people with headsets were trying to figure out what this guy had ordered and they finally thought they had it figured out so they replied im sorry sir i dont think we have this so called "bunny love ice cream" and he was aparantly like oh no no bahnilla ice cream finally they were like oh!! hes saying vanilla ice cream! anyways i found this story quite amusing and it made my day so that is my post for a couple days.
But before i end this post i have one question that i have been pondering over the last couple of days..or week. Why cant we say merry christmas anymore? It seems like it has been replaced with happy holidays but without christmas what is the point of a holiday? What we are celebrating is Jesus and his birth and people seem to get offended by it...why?

stranded in sidney

2006-11-29T16:22:00.000-08:00

so yah...i got into sidney cause my mom said not to take the bus hom and she would pick me up after school but of course it snowed even more so my mom is to chicken to pick me up because of to much snow...im not complaining..i am actually quite content.
tis a nice thing to be away from your parents after a day of well...stranded in saanichness hehe so i am not at my grandmas in any of you would think so cause that woilud be creepy...i dont want to smell like grease in the morning..ewwww! but yah so i am spending the night in sidney and i am at Lauras for the night its nice for a change..i guess i will be tired though for the morning but that is beside the point.
So i got to where i am now and we decided to go down the hill around here someplace just up the road and we went sleddidng...kinda sorta meaning that we only went down a sorta steepish hill which wasnt really that steep at all and we only went down it like...four to five times cause it was cold and we didnt have any gloves and we almost crashed into a prickle bush because.....but yah this is the only place that i cann go on msn because of my compy, stupid compy. so ya there is nothing else i can say at the moment but i should go for now so buhbye

Tragic snowfall

2006-11-27T17:30:00.000-08:00

isnt it funny how one minuite you are like snow! and another you are like will this ever end?
Today was well...interesting. When you live in ardmore everything is boribg everyday because you are surrounded by old people and on top of that..a foot and a half of snow, quite literally actually haha! anyways ya i spent half the day being lazy and eating and well i made some gingerbread and they were apparantly quite good.
Anyways so after lunch another kid who is stranded in ardmore and i decided to waste some time by sledding down a fairly steep hill and making cola slushies which are quite good by the way. try it, all you need is snow and some pop of some sort..we also thought it would be funny to get some orange pop and splash it onto the snow in someones yard but we decided not to for various reasons hehe it would have looked funny though :P
There was also this breakdancing pole/wire thinger i guess i mean telehone wire that was breakdancing and it was for no apparent reason actually. It was so random!
the poles,or other wires were not moving,just this one section of wire that was swinging back and forth and up and down..so weird and it was still moving the same way when we left1 it didnt stop! question mark much?
In other words tgings werent going so well this morning. Our power went out at around four and so my alarm didnt go off but psh thats fine there was no school anyways. It stayed off until around five but we are waiting for it to go off again because of mountains of snow on the power wires so if the power goes ut and our compy has a power surge i have to pay for it sooo ya uhoh oh man and someone had to turn off the heater brrr but yea eventful day lol no not really but we managed to snow out the school problem so ya i have run out of things to say so hopefully i will be able to get to school tomorrow...unless it is as icy as it is today...is that a good thing or bad thing. i am still pondering on that hmmm so yah im gonna go eat some warm foodishness so gbye

just because...

2006-11-25T13:56:00.000-08:00

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY SARA!!!

is it gonna snow?!?

2006-11-25T13:41:00.000-08:00

omgoodness i am so full of energy everything is almost back to normal and on top of that...might it snow? thats what the forcast has been saying so i cant wait but i guess getting my hopes up is not going to help that much cause last year it barely snowed at all :( but maybe after all these years of a wet rainy christmass we will have a white snow filled christmas hehe although verry unlikeley there is a hope. :P
Christmas is like my faveorite day as well as the month that comes before. puting up chrismas ligts...and the tree... the hot chocolate..and whats that white stuff falling outside the window? gasp snow!
This is also 5he one weekend i do not have to work at all and this hasnt happened in so long. i actually got to sleep in instead of getting up at like..ten thirty or eleven. I actually got to sleep in until 1 so i just got up an hour ago which means i am now craving some food and need to go eat it..yumm :P

2006-11-21T20:35:00.000-08:00

Omgoodness i cannot beive this i finally found a way onto here, hehe me and my awesome brain...hehe i got this down pat... and patricia... i make me laugh...ok that was a bad pun. I heard it in my socials class from aother easily amused student. I dunno how long this is going to be and if i can even post this which i am sure i will be able to find a way to. ahh tusedays. I actually dont have anything in particular to say accept for to go to capital iron and find the snow made out of gel because it is awesome stuff...i gotta go back and buy a big bagfull just to pour all over my house and be like look early snow!! i gotta warn you though it gets kinda stuck in your hair so keep it as far as you can away from your face..aka hair but cool stuff.
hmmm what other awesomeish things happened in these weeks of distruction...well i guess i could tell you about the crazyness of the guy who was making monkey noises as he came through drive through about two days ago now that was funny hehe i couldnt take his order because i was laughing so hard...how come you never encounter these crazy people on the streets of sidney? where do they go? Accept for that awesome guy who was like a dancing ipod comercial. Maybe these crazy people dissapear after the summer. Where do they all live? i would definately like to find them and just walk around there town or city (if they even call it that)can you imagine what it would be like...oh man now i really want to go.
Maybe that crazy dacing man would be found and could finally retrive his prize for his awesome comedy danceness that a handsome someone and myself saw in the summer...haa the free hot dog.
Oh man this is great i missed this blog. Every time i try to go to it its like no you cant update...you want to go shopping for this and that blah blah but i guess my compy gave into me today. yesss!

oh man our social studies teacher/intern needs to learn how to teach us. That sounds really funny but it is true, he cant even explain, and i dont know if he even know that clouds let off rain when a cold front comes past it and turns the gas into a liquid forming raindrops (which is of course the rain) to fall. Mr Sutton had to explain it to us but there was no reason since we all probribly learnt this in grade 3... maybe accept for our superman teacher for whatever reason he may have anyways i need food so i will leave this blog hoping i will be able to update it as soon as well..it lets me. Off for foodishness!!

Perilous Adventure

2006-11-07T16:37:00.000-08:00

On monday (the most horrible day of the week)i was supposed to take the bus home but but of course like alot of people i got distracted having a conversation with some friends so of course like once before i again missed my bus.
And of course like always had no back up plan uh oh! so a couple of my friends and i decided to walk all the way from the school to ardmore. We had been planning this fore quite some time...last year actually and it was so windy and rainy out a bad time to do this sort of a thing but it took pretty long maybe a little more than an hour and a half but of course it gets dark very quickly and we didnt get to my place until about 6:00 ish so it was almost as dark as it could get so a suggestion to all who reads this...first never walk ta ardmore from school in the rain and wind because it is horrible and second of all never walk to ardmore with 2 text books and two binders in your backpack because your shoulders and back will be soo sore later and even the next morning come to think of it.

soapy goodness

2006-11-02T14:43:00.000-08:00

while being home feeling crappy and sick isnt the best thing in the world, it sure does give you a chance to catch up on the load of work heavily weighing doiwn on your shoulders making you fall flat on your face which i should probribly get to pretty soon. well, i have spent my morning eating sleeping and checking out some fairly redicuous things on here... like there is this website www.zug.com check it out cause it is frikin awesome. it is basicly about this guy who goes around seeing how far he can get with things such as...well its kinda hard to explain. just go to the all natural prank by John Hargreave he basicly tries a whole bunch of soap aka takes a bite out of it and rates it on its taste,aroma,and presentation and has a whole story to go along with it. who comes up with the idea to eat soap and other toiletries!! it makes my day. i havnt looked at this website for quite some time. A certain handsome someone pointed this out to me quite a few months back and i recently found it again.

on another level the loads of homework haver been calling me and i shouldnt put it off for much longer since that test that is tomorrow and i have a worksheet that i havnt started yet that is due tomorrow by test time has to be done so i am off to do some homework and hopefully be rested up for school tomorrow so buhbye Shannon is off to do some homework.

to be emo or to not be emo

2006-10-30T19:03:00.000-08:00

Werner is typing this for me. k now i am typing yah so went into sidney and a whole bunch of peopole came into sidny to buy hair dye and such and we ended up geting alot of food and gum that tastes like soap so yah for haloween i am bei ng an emo kid and i have said tjis so many times oh!!!g2gcorner gas!!!!!

does time seem to suffer at our hands?

2006-10-27T16:08:00.000-07:00

hey i am working at dq tonight which makes me sad which means i skip yet another week of youth :( i dont think i have been to a full service in sooo long i cant even remember the last time. i keep requesting this day off but unfortnately they do not listen to me so i hope tonight i get off at nine like i usualy but the chances of this are slim since one of my really good friends is leaving dq aka quitting and i applaud her greatly for this choice so yaaay!! but i will try to convince them to let me leave early. oh man its gonna be fun eitherway though since i am working with two of my good friends so more sliding down floors and messing up and laughing in the drive thru microphone (oops) and some devastating news also guess whose work9ng on the 31 of october if you guessed shannon you won!!! won what? well...the greatness of winning of course but ya i am working on haloween how depressing is that? sigh well theres some more pursuation for me so i have come to the conclusion that work is eating me so sorry to that cute certain someone (u know who you are) for not noticing earlier that work is eating me

antways enough about this because it is pretty depressing to read. i have a question...what do you think about the violence in the world and what do you think is going to happen to the world if it just keeps getting worse? is this what was said to happen in the bible?

Staring into thin air....

2006-10-24T16:05:00.000-07:00

Today was sooo long you dont even know...it was that long.
another cooking adventure we had today was of course in cooking a lot of fun! me and a friend were to lazy to measure our ingredients so we "estimated" and just kinda threw it all in...of course the teacher had to be walking by at that very moment so we ran to the refrigerator which is huge by the way to get our last ingredient before she saw us panicking because of her presence lol so we had to use the mixer again and this time we didnt put the part that mixes on very well cause of our hurry and we started mixing it really fast and well....the mixer kinda fell apart ahaha...oops...but we fixed it and everything turned out semi ok other than we were laughing soo hard that im pretty sure people thought we were both on drugs. but yes good times thats for sure..so i am kinda glad i came to school today cause i had to do an hour long essay in class about the responsible government blah...canadian history i cant wait until we learn about world war one and two it sounds so much more interesting than governments and such.
but yes thisis the one day i have no homework whatsoever and i can just relax for like...well until tomorrow mornong i guess. ohh my compy is being lame again arg not like its ever fine...it has to have something wrong with it all the time.
I had to baby sit on sunday night and it was just me and two of my freinds that like to goof of alot lol i know you can already tell this is gonna be bad :P but any ways
we had to babysit like 20-25 kids for an hour and a half and they were all hyper and just had desert...*nervous laugh* well i got tormented more then i get tormented at school yah i know amazing! well anyways i had kids pulling on my arms and tackling me and pulling on my hood for a very long time. Usually i get realy frustrated after a while when people do this but this time well it didnt really matter to me cause i was having alot of fun with them even though they were screaming crying and throwing themselves suicidely off chairs and hanging of railings that could snap and they would fall screamig into the pit below so yah but for the most part it was fun.
anyways the point i am trying to get at is that i dont get frustrated like i used to..this is fascinating to me! anyways ive said enough for the day :P

Question mark?

2006-10-20T13:48:00.000-07:00

wow this friday is so laid back that i have been at home for like ever!
I was supposed to go and set up for a party thats happening tomorrow but i havn't had the chance to find a ride.
For all those who havn't heard, i probribly wont be at youth until an hour or two in :( cause at the last minuite someone cancelled and i am just too nice to turn them down. I almost had to work tomorrow noght as well but i switched with some girl who takes like everyones shifts so now, i do have to work tomorrow but it is in the morning which makes me so overly happy cause that means i can still go party it up tomorrow night. As for tonight i will only be at youth for one or two hours depending on how busy it gets at dq and when someone can come pick me up. (if someone can pick me up)
I finally got the media player on my compy to work which has made my day yesss! good computer, good lil compy it deserves a big hug.
As for this blog, ive been updating it way to often. Ive already promised someone i would not get to carried away with this so i am trying to restrain myself.
Anyways this is a pretty random post, but really there is noyhing else i can do since i am partly babysitting at the moment... i have no clue where my brother is and it is so quiet up here(other than the music coming out of my speakers) it is starting to creep me out! Hopefully he is not thinking out a creepy scheme in the basement with his friend with heeuge afro hair.

mud!!

2006-10-19T18:10:00.000-07:00

wow today was a crazy day! Laura and i fell in the mud after we fell over from the piggy back ride that turned into a horrible mess. lol i had mud all over my back! good times. Also my friend Gabby and i made bagels and we got to use the blender!...i know! no one trusts me with a blender haha we turned it on the highest speed and it made a hillarious noise so we just kept mixing it cause it made such a funny noise lol! i feel bad for people that eat from the cafeteria.
ya great day.

rampage

2006-10-14T10:34:00.000-07:00

Haha i can actually get to my blog at my house thats the good news...yes there is bad news too i guess. I cant get to my hotmail account so until i get a new computer i will have to live with the one account that i share with my family...noooooo! Which is very frustrating because it is not letting me send most of my stuff! gasp! anyways this is a random post, and i was just trying this out and it worked and made me happy. So now i am only going on a half rampage, which i am guessing is better than a full on kill the compuer rampage :P

scarecrows!!

2006-10-13T16:16:00.000-07:00

Today after school Laura and I went to make a scarecrow at her house. my hands are still dirty and smell like leaves. Yummm gross actually but anyways we got a whole bunch of old clothes and we stuffed them with leaves and such. oh man good times. The scarecrow has no neck lol And behind it is a real actual scarecrow from the garage and i made it look like it was strangling the scarecrow/pumpkin man we made....but now that i think about it...the pumpkin man has no neck so how can he be strangled? I guess hes just being suffocated or something haha
(this is the pumpkin man and the scare crow. as you can see they both do not have necks)
