The Lost Space

Alright, guys... this is it. I had a fun two years (and more) using Windows Live Spaces, but it's time for me to move elsewhere.

WLS are so cheap and crappy compared to LiveJournal, which is why I decided to move there. I actually update my LJ more than I update here. Makes sense for me to move it all there.

If anyone wants to comment, you have to be a member of livejournal.

Basically, I'm outta here. I'm gonna be paying $4/month to use it. I've always been a fan of that site more than this.

'kay. Bye. =)

Oh man. What a shitty day!

No school thanks to these York Region PA/PD Days. I didn't have to put up with dumbass teachers, which is fantastic. The bad part is, without them, my day isn't "complete". Sure, my days are miserable with them, but very very empty without them. Instead of school, I spent the whole day doing absolutely nothing. This sucks when you can't drive, mom's out, dad's at work, bro's in Ottawa. I worked on my LJ profile. I had to go through 3 different layouts to figure out that my old one was the best. *facepalm*

Mom's muffins tasted... like... well, actually, they had no taste. Yes, mom, good work. Raspberry and Peach are a fucked up combination. You should have consulted ME first! And these muffins are very rare. It's not like she bakes them all the time and I shouldn't complain. Maybe like... wow... 4 times a year? If I get lucky.

Getting over the whole Eric thing. Yay. And here I thought I never would. I still don't really wanna say anything to him, but I'll eventually get over THAT too. We signed up for the volleyball course to learn, not to be fuckin' put-down by someone who has a huge chip on his shoulder. You made the team? Good for you. Really. But don't tell us we suck when we're trying hard to get better. I don't even know how you ended up with the 98%... Really. BAD sportmanship, horrible participation. You are so fuckin' lucky the teacher likes you.

Oh dear... my bad. Maybe I'm not over the whole thing. Pfft. Whatever.

I'm hungry now. =P I'm gonna go search for some food.

D'you see what happens when you get addicted to something? You forget about everything else. This is the case of me on LiveJournal and this Space. You see, there's nothing really exciting to post here and my daily entries would be about a certain teacher get boring after a while. So, I have decided to NOT post here as frequently as I used to because then there would be no point.

Besides LiveJournal, what else am I up to? Not much, actually. =) Life's boring as usual and school is a pain. There are some things to note that I have missed in the past few weeks.

1. I love celebrating Thanksgiving with my family. Always fun. <3 them all. We're such a dorky, happy, cheerful family.

2. Went to guidance to talk to Ms. Yam about what I can do about a certain teacher. I told her what's been happening in class, and, to be honest, she didn't look all that surprised. She told me that I should wait until he does something stupid again and talk to him. If that doesn't work out, I go back to her and she can deal with it. As for evil, dumbass, bastard teachers walking around the hallways and such, if I have a problem with them, I go to the VP. Ms. Schritt is one hell of a hall monitor that's for sure. "You two shouldn't be here. If I see either of you in here when I come back, I'm going to be very rude." ... WOW. Talk about kicking us in the ass. Thanks, woman. I wouldn't have understood it otherwise.

I need to make this VERY clear to everyone: the LEAFS suck! Dear God, I have never seen a team as messed up as this one. =/

Go Sens!

So, now that all that has been made clear, on to my day. No, I don't remember what I did yesterday, the day before, or after the previous entry. My memory SUCKS.

English: We watched "Elizabeth".
C. Tech: THANK YOU GOD FOR LEAVING US ALONE, OLD MAN.
Lunch: Hee hee... we watched some of Volleyball tournament.
V-Ball: Well, y'know, nothing else to do. We continued to watch the volleyball tournament. Highlight? The dude was serving, he missed, his his teammates head. LMAO! *dies*
APS: We watched the movie "Instinct". Anthony Hopkins and Cuba Gooding Jr.? WOW. Great movie. I loved it!

Mom made muffins! I'm off!! ... I can smell them. =D

'til next time,

~ A4L

(listening to this song from the Initial D: Fourth Stage OST. One of them. lol)

Been a while since my last entry. Probably because I haven't done anything too exciting since then and no big things with Sisti, so, really, nothing. My bro came like... a week ago. Lots of fun. His kitty was adorable!! It got attached to me and thought I was (somewhat) its mom. It came on my lap and just slept. ^^ Awwz. No photos, cuz it was just me and him at the time. We had a party at our place on Saturday. Cousins, Aunt, Uncle, Grandma, Grandpa, and an uncle I had "met" when I was 16 months old. I think. He was really cool. REALLY damn funny. I guess it runs in our family.

Today... umm...

ENGLISH: Most entertaining educational video EVER.
C.TECH: Test. I think I failed. -_-"
LUNCH: Walked around at the plaza, came back, Alicia read her book, while I watched a House episode (on PSP).
V-BALL: One more skill test and then just mini games. I think Eric just got annoyed after a while. Seriously, we *DID* suck.
APS: Umm... nothing ?

That's it. I'm getting addicted to LiveJournal. ><"

~ A4L

Like... seriously. Every damn entry this semester is gonna be about Sisti. He's the only guy who really pisses me off. I don't feel like typing out a lot today, so I'll just go ahead and explain what happened today.

Sisti: Unplug yourselves. If I see your MP3 player, I'm taking it.
Me: Excuse me, sir, May I ask why?
Sisti: Listen. When you have your own classroom, THEN you can make your OWN decisions.
*I'm taking like... a couple of seconds to process his reply. WHAT? He didn't answer my question!*
Me: But... we're working independently, and no one's bothering anyone, and the class would be quieter if...
Sisti: Elyn, just go sit down and do your work.

What the HELL was that? Seriously. He's an adult (I think)... what kind of a response was that? Really... how much more does he expect us to take from this crap? It's not fair. Someone's gotta say something. I need my dad to come in on parent night. Really.

uGh... just talking about him pisses me off. Damn it. Anywho, on to the rest of my day...

English: Some weird... ISP "test" thing. It wasn't a test, really, because all she wanted to know was whether or not we actually read our novels.

Lunch: Plaza and back. =)

Volleyball: Learned some new things. Fun as always!

APS: Fire drill. Culminating activity. Oy. ><"

And... that's pretty much my day. Yeah.

~ A4L

WOW. The Emmy voters totally screwed up last night. House was COMPLETELY shut out. The only win they got was the make-up one... not very exciting, really. I'm still in shock. Total disaster.

- Hugh Laurie on the red carpet was fun to watch, cuz he REALLY didn't wanna be there, but was just commenting for the hell of it.
- Presenting the awards... yay, Hugh, buddy, a LITTLE more enthusiasm! You presented extremely well last year! It was hilarious!
- The worst moment of the awards... OMG. It was supposed to be James Gandolfini vs. Hugh Laurie for "Outstanding Male Actor: Drama". OUT OF FREAKIN' N-O-W-H-E-R-E... James Spader wins it. I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING. *OUCH* Just shows how the people behind the Emmys are totally oblivious. Idiots.

I found pics, though! =) Here's one of Ellen DeGeneres visiting the HOUSE section. Hugh Laurie to her immediate left:

The new cast looks adorable... can't wait!!

Anywho, enough about the Emmys. uGh. Complete disaster. On to my day...

English: New essay format. Pretty fun. Good essay. We were also waiting for the damn fire drill! argh!

C. Tech: No, I don't have any complaints today! (shocking, eh?) Actually, we all sat in front of the projector thing and he sat in his chair, his back towards us, just talking about colours with the wall. Really, no one else was listening. G'job, old man. You're definitely gonna get a raise for doing that. Tch.

Lunch: Yay. Lots of fun. Tiff's an idiot. End of story. lol

V-ball: REALLY fun today. Just worked on skills, did more drills, and played in teams.

APS: Quiz. Not sure how I did ... I was outta the class for about 5 or 6 minutes. Dunno. Left a note for Mr. Prettie... hopefully, he got it.

Came home, ate dinner, finished homework, and now... I'm here. =)

Hopefully, the fire drill is tomorrow during SECOND PERIOD. Argh! I'll gladly suffer 15-20 minutes outside in the cold than inside with the big, bad, old man. >=(

...that's it.

~ A4L ... Elyn ... my identity is finally revealed. G'job, Mr. K! lol

Yep. Always fun. Especially when you really have nothing to do. (Right.)

Well... I actually didn't do much today. It was cold and I didn't really feel like going anywhere. Mom was home with me; dad was working at the store, and trying to put up with all the stupid customers. I really do feel sorry for him =/ . That reminds me... mom and I were watching this movie today called The Marine starring John Cena (yes, the wrestler) and Robert Patrick (Terminator 2, The X-Files). It was a hardcore American action movie (explosions, not dying so easily, saving the day... y'know...). Robert Patrick has got to be one of the best actors I've ever seen. He was just hilarious. He goes into this jewelry store and the guy with him raises his guns and everyone's just looking at them. Patrick says "Oh. Everybody... get down." as if he's just relaxed and doesn't really care about what he's doing. Really nice movie. It's apparently showing again on Thursday @ 6:00am. I'll set my recorder to record it and then I can burn it on a dvd.

Dad came home @ around 7 and we ate dinner. Now, I'm here, doing absolutely nothing productive. I'd do homework, but... not really in the mood at the moment. I'm home with dad tomorrow. We have this security guy coming to our house tomorrow to set up a system. I'll probably just work on the stupid comm. tech assignment while he and dad try figuring things out.

Again, the Emmys are tomorrow night. Apparently Hugh Laurie is a presenter as well as a nominee. Yay. I just hate the fact that he won't be hosting the awards ceremony. Why the hell did FOX say no? Or did he say 'no'? Bah. Ryan Seacrest isn't a bad person, I just get really bored of seeing him everywhere nowadays. Argh.

Umm... wow. I also found something cool. It's my horoscope for today. From Tarot.com

Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)

Your eagerness to disagree with someone could create a conflict without a valid reason today. If you have good reason to be angry, you still should be careful about inappropriately misdirecting your feelings. Be aware of the intensity of your reactions now; the raw power of your actions may agitate more than you wish.

Yeah... talk about hitting the mark. I guess I should pay attention to my horoscope more often - it might let me avoid getting into trouble. *sigh* ... I hate letting people walk over me, but since I really need the credit, I'll just have to deal with it. I have people to talk to in order to let my anger out. I like releasing it here because I can get straight to the point. I'll avoid letting any anger out in front of Sisti. I'll be his royal pet until the end of this semester. As soon as the semester's over, I'm just gonna let it all go. I need to tell him to straighten up his act because NOBODY at PETHS likes him. No wonder he's right beside the office. tch. idiot.

Damn it. See? LoL ... I wasn't even at school and I'm ticked off. Y'know what? I'll go watch an episode of The X-Files to cool down. I'm bored anyways.

I'm done here.

The new Toronto Maple Leafs jerseys were unveiled on September 12th.

Home:


Away:


Tucker, Kaberle, Blake:


I actually like them. They're nice and simple. I'm not too happy about the secondary logos being taken off, but whatever. The jersey isn't important right now. They need to focus and get their groove back and MAKE. THE. DAMN. PLAYOFFS. I'm sick and tired of cheering for them if they can't produce wins and make the playoffs. This is why I cheer for teams like the Sens and the Canucks.

But anyways...

The St. Louis Blues jerseys are probably the I've ever seen. Wow.



^ WOW. =D   ... that's just too pretty. I'd buy that, but I'm not really a fan of the team.

If you want to see all the new NHL jerseys, visit:  http://picasaweb.google.com/nhllogos 

Alright... that's probably it for now. I'll post another entry later on. Too lazy at the moment.

~ A4L

Really. I can have a lot of homework one night, and I can control it. If I have a teacher who CONSTANTLY pisses me off, I can't do anything, because they control my marks (which isn't fair, btw!). I'm holding myself back with Sisti only because I need that damn tech credit to graduate. I've completed everything else.

So, of course, naturally, Sisti has to piss me off - AGAIN. Here's what happened this time. I'm working on our stupid assignment and I'm half way done. I'm not disturbing ANYBODY. I'm not even looking towards the class. I'm also listening to my mp3. Something obviously pisses him off about that and so he gives me yet another one of his lectures. Here's what he says: "Elyn. Unplug. Now." Me: "Huh?" S: "I didn't give you permission to listen to music. You can only listen to music when I tell you you can. Got it?" Me: "Uhh... wtf? Alright... =S". He doesn't notice the other people talking, but he notices ME when I'm not even bugging anyone. Tell me: How on EARTH does that make sense?! Why does he constantly have something to say about EVERY LITTLE THING SOMEONE DOES? I told my mom that enough is enough. I have to stop him. He's abusing his power as a teacher now. I don't think I've seen a teacher like that before. I'm gonna tell him, for sure, next time he bug me: "Sir, nobody here appreciates the fact that you have something to say about EVERY. LITTLE. THING. WE. DO." I mean, how much nicer can I put it? Do I have to be scared of him? Who the hell does he think he is? And then my mom liked what I said, but she was worried that if I open my mouth, he'll hurt my marks and then it'll show up on my report card. This is exactly what happened to my brother. He was constantly abused by his teachers when he was in high school and Ade (my brother), being Ade, opened his mouth and he paid for it in the end. I hate that. Should I be THAT scared to stand up to someone who is always putting me down and making me feel like an idiot? Why should I do that?

This is exactly why I have so much respect for Mr. Kostandoff, Mr. Prettie, and Mr. Sulman. They have absolutely no problem with what you're doing, only if, in the end, you hand in all your work and participate in class. Okay. Maybe not Mr. Prettie (LOL!). He just walks out of class. But, see, that's probably because he trusts us and treats us as human beings, whereas Mr. Sisti obviously doesn't. That reminds me, I forgot to mention that he wasted 15 or 20 minutes yesterday getting his papers together. SEE how unfair that is?! He yells and lectures us if we're not ready, but if he does it? NO problem. What kind of logic is THAT?!

Argh. I'm getting pissed just sitting here and typing about Sisti. I'll move on.

English class. Yay. I finished my homework in the morning (before getting to school). Good thing I did - she checked our homework. Umm, but, besides that... ummm... what did we do? *thinks* Oh. We read an essay about Cats vs. Dogs. It was actually pretty funny. Not many people enjoyed it. I did. =)

Lunch... went to the plaza, bought a small sub, came back, ate, and then played some tennis with Mandy. Lots of fun. I should have tried out for the team. =/

Volleyball. Learned how to hit the ball when I'm close to the net and can't attack properly. When we got the hang of it, we played games as squads. Really fun. =D

APS. Copied notes and discussed things like "theory", "hypothesis", "scientific experiment". I thought I didn't take any of the sciences. *shrugs*

Came home, ate dinner, and now I'm here. Yay.

On to more entertaining things. Emmys are this weekend!!! House nominated for Oustanding Drama Series, Hugh Laurie nominated for Best Drama Actor, David Morse nominated for Best Drama Guest Actor.

House is a GREAT show. Hugh Laurie is just BRILLIANT in bringing life to Dr. House. David Morse was probably the best guest actor the show has ever had. He's the only guy who could do something about House's drug use. Fortunately, House won in the end. I've been a huge fan of David Morse ever since 16 Blocks. I didn't know who he was 'til I saw that movie. Really cool guy. After House, yeah, he deserves an Emmy for his portrayal of Det. Michael Tritter.

So... yay. Really excited. Can't wait!

I guess that's about it. I'm done.

How would you feel if teachers at your school found your online blog? This is exactly what happened. Thank God it was two teachers I really have a lot of respect for. If you go to PETHS, the two teachers I'm talkin' about are Mr. Kostandoff and Mr. Prettie. Wow. Here's what happened. I saw Mr. K before classes started and just said the usual "hey, how's it going?". He then tells me that he found my blog. Inside my head I went a little paranoid. It was okay, I had nothing to hide from him, but it was other teachers I babbled about a lot here. He told me to take it easy and watch what I say. I agreed with him, but it's hard when you're really angry. You say things you really wish you hadn't. That's how I am, I guess. ><"   Well, anywho, that was it with Mr. K. During period 2, I wanted to take a break from Sisti. I found Mr. Prettie in the hallway and he told me he wanted to talk to me. We had a long conversation about how people obviously don't like everyone. It's normal. He just told me to take it easy and watch what I say (again). I understand that they both meant well, but, again, it's a little hard. I'll try, though. I'll do my best to really watch what I type out here. Thank you.

English: Fun. Again. lol well, we silently read and learned more about essays and stuff. Pretty cool.

C. T.: Well, he wasn't as annoying as yesterday, so... I guess that's okay. Basically, we learned more about fonts.

Lunch: Plaza and back. Talked and joked around.

V-ball: We learned about volleyball for about 15-20 minutes. Then, we practiced basic skills with our squads. Fun, as usual.

APS: Library. Research for the assignment we have due sometime next week, I think. I forgot already!

Came home, mom had food ready. I told her about what happened and she just laughed and said that I had good teachers. I, of course, agreed. For the most part.

And... now, I'm drinking tea, listening to DJ Tiesto, and typing this entry.

Before I leave, I just *HAVE* to post this picture.

THAT is probably my favourite House promotional photo. Hugh Laurie never ceases to make me laugh.

I guess that's about it. Mr. Kostandoff, Mr. Prettie... if you guys are reading this, comment!
