Can I just say, first of all that that picture isn't called Terry Pratchet, the quote at the top of the page is by Terry Pratchet.

Anyway my Dad drove all the way here through the blizzard and over a mountain to hook up a few more heaters and all the outlets in the living room (the guy he works with has decided to call it the "front study" I think that sounds nicer. Anyway this guy is a complete nutball, every twenty minutes he goes "you excited Gerard?" and my father, Gerald, goes "oh yeah, Al. So excited." over and over. He also helped me put up curtains today and then showed me how to hem them with a stapler. Apparently he hems all his pants with staples too. My dad says he doesn't have a bank account because he doesn't trust the banks and he doesn't have a credit card. He payed the down payment on his truck in cash and then gave the company the wrong address so that he could stop paying for it when he felt he had paid enough. What a guy, right?) My dad was telling us about how one time it was 85 below on a school day, because of windchill and he walked to school anyway.

Anyway its snowing like hell today, too dark to take a picture now, but believe me. It's also rediculously windy and icy freezing, but it wasn't this morning. I skipped school today and ran/skipped/ slide/ jaunted down to the beach with Sabo and then back up to the library and to get groceries. Mildly pissed off that the lib only had Harry Potters two three and five. I've been having a mad craving to read all of them but I guess I'll have to make do. Unless SoMeONe with weird auburn hair fantasies wants to get a move on (get it?) and bring me the others.
kind of worried about getting to school tomorrow, what with the snow.

I guess lines are cool.



Isn't it funny, the piece above this, what i'm writting is called Terry Pratchett? Or at least the series of pieces all together. See? http://butdoesitfloat.com/537574/And-summer-isn-t-a-time-It-s-a-place-as-well-Summer-is-a-moving

The snow is still here!!! I love that. But seriously. If Sunrider ever figures out that you figured out his little money making scheme, let's just hope he doesn't come over and chop off your head. Seriously. Because, what if i'm there, and you arn't and i'm wearing a auburn wig? and i'm turned around in the other direction? Your fault. I bet the death of me, inspires you in your arty history world (bitch).

steel boots each day


ok so update on the sunrider situation. I forgot to mention, first of all, why he is called the sunrider. On the front of his house in big bronze flames are the words "Sunrider Ranch" and then of course he has "Sunrider" painted in blue on the side of his truck. Not to mention the mermaid bursting out of the sun thing.

But here! I was sitting in the kitchen this morning, eating my oatmeal and minding my own business when ALL OF A SUDDEN! he comes out his house wearing that sweater we love so much and gets in his truck. He starts the engine but is sitting there for a bit fiddling with something out of sight. AND THEN! I look over and he is holding a pipe that is clearly not for tobacco up to his mouth and lighting up. And he puts on his seat belt, slides into drive and pulls away from the curve. I see him take another hit at the stop sign. WHAMMO! drug dealer.

This may seem incredibly creepy to you people, but you don't live across the street from a Very Dangerous Driver/ Convieniently Located Merchant of MaryJane. I can justify anything.

Pictures coming soon

The beach was beautiful at 3 am.




I think that might be the pro's of living by the beach. You can go there all the time.

it just came out this way


I've been home for two hours and I have seen the sun rider get in and out of his truck 4 times. This may sound creepy but my neighbours truck-related habits are driving me nuts. This is a guy who literally sits in his truck, sometimes solo for hours at a time. And while he is doing this, it is invariably dark out and invariably I can't help but stare. Is he a drug dealer? It should also be clarified that his truck is one of those smallish ones. It is blue with a giant mermaid bursting out of the sun painted on its hood. He will get it that truck and return in 20 minutes, probably 20 times a day. And I know this is a weird fascination for me but if you were to see the kitchen window to wall ratio you would understand. Our window faces a street mostly used by pedestrians since it doesn't really connect to anything so I always look up when a car goes by. Especially now that I have a mystery to solve.

Next time it is light out and I have a cam hooked up I will show yous. You will agree that this boy/man has a good choice in sweaters, I think. Even if his wardrobe choice is funded by probably-illegal activity.

Anyway Shark I've started boiling water and keeping it in that choco-milk jug from that other time. turns out it tastes way better than Victoria city shit. thank you parents, for raising me with rediculously high standards in the taste of drinking water. Still haven't found better than Strathcona glacier water though. mMmmm. wasn't even ruined by that shit-KD that EvanPepp dumped into it, the daft codger.

Anyway this as all been a huge excuse to not read the Worship in Judaism section of my textbook. Turns out University can even make ancient mystical traditions boring, thanks a lot.

My romance with Dave 1, is reappearing. Too bad he is like 10 years my senior. Too bad his excellent facial hair and smooth voice gets me everytime. TOoooooooooooooo bad.

You've got another one coming and it's going to be the same


Can you imagine having a messenger pigeon? Sending messages to your friend via... bird flight. Almost enough to make one stop texting, although there would be a whole lot more poop.

Nobody puts Baby in a corner



it's all misty pinky-blue outside the window right now and there's all these weird abandoned hay bails that look like deer sticking out of the field. I would post a picture but there are currently zero cameras in my house. And I found these high-waitsted floral capri pants (use your imagination) in my garage on top of a sweater with holes in it. Did someone used to wear them? Where did they come from?


And last night we laid on the floor and watched Dirty Dancing for the nth millionth time and it felt just like the first time, so right. Seriously, don't know why I love that movie so much
