Everytime I watch a video it shows an ad during and after it for 5 Gum. It's quite annoying actually.

Last week I went to a mall and after I came out of the movies, a guy (a very cute one, i might add) came up to me and gave me & peeps a pack of 5 gum for free. And he had a huge bag and was giving it to everyone in the movie theatre.

And when I saw the ads on the videos, i went WHOA! I know that!

Chyeah.

Wow, I haven't updated for a long ass tme.

But I wanted to write about NOSTALGIA! It happened 2-ish weeks ago. Our high school fashion charity fashion show which raised $1000+ dollars for Camp Oochigeas (camp for kids with cancer). I'm not sure how much exactly, but over 1000 for shure.

It was amazing fun. I've made friends with a bunch of cool new people because of it. All the dancers are kinda like one big happy family, cheesy I know. Shout outs!

Yeah, we're all pretty cool. I was going to upload vids & pics but my com is being ridiculously slow and ma mere didn't get many pictures. Yeah, that's french. It's cause i'm Canadian. ♥♥♥.

About a week before we had rehearsals until six at night. And we saved up all our spare change so we could buy things out of the school vending machine for dinner. Yum.. Then we had dress rehearsals which were even more hectic because you have about... 2-ish minutes to change. Whoot! But seriously. It was a lot of fun and it will always be remembered.

ALSO, we got on TV! Rogers television, the High School Rush show. Fun!

NOSTALGIA 08 forever!! ♥

I'm the happiest, tired-est person in the world.

I went to the Silverstein show last night! Yipee!!
It was awesome, completely and utterly amazing. And now, I'm going to proceed with my first buzznet concert review! yays!

So me and my friend alina (there! i namedropped you, happy?)  got to KH (kool haus, all the cool kids abbreviate it) at about 4:30 but there was already a pretty long-ass line. We were waiting ... and waiting ... and there was this couple in front of us. The guy went to put their coats away, and when he came back, he had to jump over the snow bank and landed right in front of me. The girl laughs and says "careful! you almost trampled the little girl!" Hold up, missy! I may be petit, but I'm in no way a "little girl". I gave them the death glare, but I don't think they saw it. Oh well.

When we finally got in, we decided to skip merch and get it later and go right on in. We were pretty close to the stage, second row-ish, but we were standing so you couldn't really tell. We were waiting for our friend Zack, who got in at the last minute, we pulled him into the crowd, and then waited ... and waited.

And then Devil Wears Prada came out! Whee! LMAO. They played Goats On A Boat, and some other songs and then they played Hey John. My 2 fave songs. And the only two songs I know all the lyrics to. Shut up, I never said I was their biggest fan.

After them, illScarlett. I loved their green set, totally awesome and they're amazing live. "And here's a less pussy song for you all" lmao!

I guess I should mention that after TDWP, they pulled the curtain back to reveal the illScarlett backdrop thing. But they didn't do that after illScarlett, but it was okay because we all know Protest was going next. But they pulled back the curtain to reveal...

the silverstein backdrop! DUN DUN DUN!
I didn't make much of it, but people started booing. And then they started chanting 'Protest! Protest! Protest!'. Which, came the statement from Alina "hey! they're protesting for protest!". Stupidest joke, but so fucking funny. But Protest The Hero eventually came out, and needless to say people were happy.

And then when they finished, a bunch of people started walking towards the back, so we inched up and got pretty close. I think there was a group of people who wanted to see protest and illscarlett and tdwp, and another group that wanted to see silverstein. Personally, I liked all of them.

We waited EONS for Silverstein. And then the lights dimmed, and we realized they were here! YAY! A bunch of creepy music started playing and then they came out. Finally. For a second, I blanked, but I quickly revived from all the moshers and pushing. And then we sang, danced and moshed the night away. At the end I got gray SILVERSTEIN shirt.

Best. Night. Ever.
and we got Mike Hranigan's autograph!

Next concert? Alt Press Tour 2008. And I know it's kinda early, but I gotta find someone to GO-TRAIN to Warped with this year. Alina isn't going, and neither is Zack. : (

But ending on a note of Silverstein - AWESOME!

illScarlett.

TDWP. Picture Perfect ... except for the security guard >.<

tix.

SILVERSTEIN!

Okay, I'm admitting it. I have an obsession with Starbucks.

WELCOME TO STARBUCKS ADDICTS ANNONYMOUS!
Hi, my name is Daphne. I'm an addict.
Hi Daphne!!

^ I got the above idea from my awesomeness English teacher, Mr. Berenstein. Yes, like the bears. He was talking about how we should plaigarise(sp?), and said if we ever felt the urge to do so, we should tell him, so he could start a plaigarism annoymous club at the school. After all, "admitting you have a problem is the first step towards recovery". ROFL. He's my favourite teacher this semester.

That's actually saying alot, seeing as I don't like this semester. At all. I have science, french, english and business. Science is ... okay, I don't know anyone in my class though. The French teacher is nice, but she reminds me of my old French teacher, and that's not necessarily a good thing. And she says OKAY too much. I though business would be fun, but the teacher seems hard, and she's old. And dying. She gave us TWO ASSIGNMENTS! ARRGGHHHH! bitch.

I see Silverstein in 4 days!! I CANNOT wait. I've mapped it all out. Directly after school me and alina are running our asses towards Downsview Station to get to Kool Haus. We really want a good spot because the last few concerts we were in kind of ... terrible spots. And we're both short!

Got new glasses on Sunday, and I like them a lot better than my old pair. Supposedly my head was getting a little too large for my old glasses, so I got new ones. Yays.

Signing off for now.
xoxo. Go drink a iced macchiato. Even though it's winter. Haha.

coming up soon:

math exam: 28 january
daniel's party: 2 february
macs results: 8 february
silverstein (!!!): 8 february
valentine's day: 14 february

Today I went to my optometrist and got new glasses. Totally hot. Supposedly my head was growing and getting a bit too big for my current glasses, plus I don't like my frames. They're really round, brown and ugly. haha.

I've been trying to study like crazy for my math exam, but I keep getting distracted with facebook or buzznet or deviantart. But its okay. Even if I get 0 on it, I still pass with a 72. And I won't get zero, I think I'll get 80-something. Which will probably boost my mark to about 95. YAY!
I'm such a nerd sometimes. Must be the asian-ness

I recently was chilling with my girlfriends and out of nowhere I realized we were in a kind of messed up time. You see, (wow that sounds odd) our guy friends are really nice, and really good friends. We're all superclose. But there are these girls at our school that are a bit ... um ... obnoxious and dumb. And throwing themselves at our friends.

I'm going to be honest, I'm kind of jealous because the guys can't seem to see (even though it's super clear) that these bitches are HOES! They're shallow, insecure, needy, wannabes and oh yeah, they have no sense of style (or sanity). I mean come on, just because it says Abercrombie & Fitch in big letters means you're going to pay an extra $40 for it?

I don't mean to sound bitter, but I AM. I miss my friends. They were so fun to talk to, and they really listent. Now they somehow always find a way to bring the hoes into the conversation.

Teenage boys can be so fucking clueless sometimes. I wish all those girls started a cult and killed themselves.

 
PIANO! I've decided to name her Cara. Don't ask :)

the good old days ...

It makes me want to puke. In a bucket. Then throw it at Abercrombie.

I came home SO early today. Short day at school, since exams started this afternoon. We were supposed to hang out, but a bunch of people had an English exam (all the english ones were this aft.) so we just ... left. I put up a bunch of flyers on bus stops and poles. I think i've done 100 or so, but I have to do 1000 in order to get the $$$. I feel really let down because these stupid people won't hire 14-year-olds. Fuck you! Not all of us are irresponsible jerks.

Anyways, going back to exams, I have a geography one tomorrow, which I really should be studying for. Oh well, it's an easy exam. Just maps and graphs and stuff that I've mostly memorized. I think. My other exam is the dreaded Math, on monday, but I'm trying not to think about that and just focus on the geography.

Silverstein is in 17 days! Yipee! I really, really cannot wait. I think I wanna buy another ss CD just so I'll have more things for them to sign. haha. But I also want a Protest the Hero or Devil Wears Prada CD because they're cool too. And they're supporting.

I wish people were over - group study sessions are much more fun.

I've officially granted permission from my friend Paul to call him Paulie! Like in Juno! Okay, he's not really okay with it. He gets pretty pissed when I call him that, but it's so cute. PAULIE!!

I really want some bubble tea. And cake. I'm just craving cake. Mmm...

i want to whack something. i really do.

cloverfield comes out today. i kind of want to see it, but it looks a little scary, and well... i can't handle scary movies that well. I remember watching 1408 and screaming and not being able to sleep for weeks. yikes. after watching the trailer, i got a little quesy thinking about the statue of liberty scene, you know where the head falls off ..

anyhoo, this week has been good and bad. but i think the bad outdid the good. i finally finished my health assignment (2 essays) and handed them in today. I've gotten half of my fitness testing for phys. ed. done (i did 15 pushups & 35 sit ups! YAY!) but i still have to do the mile run. : ( I think i'm going to jog on my treadmill for a bit this weekend to get ready for the run.

Today, me alina jonnathan and paul went to david's house. We were supposed to work on our drama presentation but it ended up with more guitar hero and cracking jokes. If you guys are reading this - one thing:
"I left a trail of sushi along the way!"
"I don't get it, but okay!"
"What's to get? She's asian!"
I know it makes minimal sense but it's freaking hilarious! I wish we caught it on tape. January isn't over yet and I've already screwed up my new year's resolution (take more pics + vids)

Daniel was supposed to have his birthday party tomorrow, but he moved it to february 2 - but that's almost a month away from his birthday. Oh well. Tomorrow after theory I'm going to do homework and chill, then sunday is my CSE dance audition. At this point, I don't have my hopes up or anything. I'm just going to dance for the people and see if they like me. If not, I definately wont be dissapointed. I just have to remember to dance big and be full of movement and stuff. Yeah ... 

Next week I have to run a mile on monday, write my geography exam on thursday, then the week after that i have my math exam on tuesday. busy much? I just want to get these exams over with. they're stupid and frustrating. 

February 9 - Silverstein concert! Yay! I haven't been to a concert in a while (boohoo) so I'm excited about this one.

Speaking of the concert, I'm still looking for a job. I've got a temporary flyer posting one that hasn't even started it, and someone gave me a number for a restaurant job. I can just see it now (hi, can i take your order?!) 

Bleh.
d a p h h ♥

Okay, it's not that late. But I've got an exam tomorrow so I should be in bed. But I can't sleep. I feel like I have way way way too much on my hands.

I have to get a job. I 've been on 50 different websites every day sending resumes and everyone to everything that seems possible and will hire a 14 year old. I really need money. It's not that I want extra cash - I NEED MONEY. This saturday it's my friend daniel's birthday party, and then the next day I'm auditioning for a dance company. Which by the way, I still need to make a routine for. Grr.

On top of that I've got essays, projects, etc. etc. etc. ARRGHH!! I really want to smash something or someone. rawr.

I want a stress ball.

badly.

I'm going to attempt to sleep now.

nighty night.
Daph. ♥ (I finally learned how to do that using the keyboard!)

I look at this and it reminds me of good times. ♥

Alex Scott came and visited! I haven't seen her in six monthes. She has NOT changed.

All the girls @ Michelle's bday party.

OMG I'm sneaking on buzznet during school.

And there's only 30 more minutes of school! YAY!!
But then I have fashion show rehearsal. For an hour and a half, then I've got to practise piano, finish my economics paper, and study. *cries* So sad.

But I'll probably sneak on buzznet sometime. sneaky sneaky.

signing off for now..

YAaaaayy!

My silverstein tickets just came in the mail! Can't wait for the concert. : D Speaking of which, I really need money for. I need a job, but I'm a little too lazy to get one. And, plus, who really wants to hire a teen?
But I'm trying!! Today I filled out two applications and hopefully *fingers x'd* they'll consider me. I really need money man.

Today I went with my friends Sadie and Andrew to the Central Business District. ahaha. That's downtown - courtesy of my geography unit test earlier today (which I'm pretty sure I failed). We went to Starbucks, I wasted my starbucks card on a grande white hot chocolate ($2.22 left!) and then we crashed at Sadie's messy house. I have a birthday party on sunday, but I don't know what to get her - and if I even want to go. I'm thinking $20 gift certificate at Yorkdale, but I don't know if I'll be able to GO TO yorkdale.  And if I'll get $20. lol.

OMG - I love fanfiction now. It's the best thing ever. But it's kind of hard finding stuff about what you like. Though I've found some awesome joshayley fanfiction. josh + hayley = love.

Speaking of mathematical formulas, I have exams. GAHHH I'm going to kill myself. There's so much to memorize and learn and the teachers don't help that much. Sucks. *cries*

Oh well, I'll get through. Somehow. Maybe. We'll see.

Yesterday I had total me day. So much fun.

My friend cancelled on me the night before, so I was up in the morning messaging and phoning everyone to see if they could come. Nope. Nada.

But I just went anyways.

I saw Juno - which is amazing, mostly because Michael Cera's in it - and I ended up sitting beside these kids who I actually go to school with. I didn't realise until one of them pulled out there wallet and I saw the 'WL Mackenzie CI' on their SAC card. Honestly, it was better than sitting with a bunch of strangers.

After two hours of poring over Michael Cera, I decided to walk around the mall. See, when you go with friends, you don't always get to go in all the stores you want to because everyone has their favourite stores. But I just went wherever I felt like it. Bought this long-sleeved, hoodie, dressy, type thing from AE (courtesy of the gift card Molly got for my birthday). Also got (yet another) headband from But only because it was on sale. Then I went to Music World to see if they actually had decent music left - nope. Whatever they had left was all 60% or 70% off, but it was all country, oldie electronica and other crap. So I ditched, and went to Starbucks. Mmm..

So after when I got on the subway, I went to wilson station, then I took the 96 wilson bus instead of the 160 bathurst because it came before. But I forgot to get off at bathurst. *slapshead*. So I took the bus all the way to york mills station. Then I had to take the 96 bus going the opposite direction, get off at Bathurst, then transfer onto the 7 bathurst bus. I got home at 9. Jeesh.

Whrilwind adventure, huh?
