I'm Drowning, In Homework

So if for the next few days you dont hear from me it will be because I have drowned in my homework and will not resurface untill the weekend. I have homework in every single subject, that include gym!!!!!!!!! I can't belive it! 25 days til my bday! 23 days till the first school dance! 24 days till the first pa day! and a late start tommorrow. Plus all my clubs seem to be starting this week, Prefects, Martingrove Stage Company(MSC), and the ERT. I can't wait to find out what show were doing, all I know is its not a musical. I will tell you all what were doing as soon as I know. I hate my Geography Teacher Mr. Bailey! He assigned this big map project, we have to create a pear shaped island. He couldn't pick something simple shaped like a square or a circle, no, he picked a pear. My pear, looks like a bowling pin! Then since he was away on the day it was assigned, he told us today that we couldn't use made up symbols though the supply told us were were suposed to be creative. So I finished the map part for today and then was told I had to redo the whole map cus I made up a whole system then had to do it again!!! ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!So this pear island has a vampire living in a masion on a hill so I decide my vampire would be a veggie vampire. LOL! Cool project idea but, ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok so rant of the day is over. I hope everyones day was better than mine. I'm currently watching Dancing with the Stars, second best show ever!!!! Gilmore girls is the best. They have a Hannah Montana Star on it not kidding, hes 18 and has no attention span. Agitated Octopus!!!!! Sorry inside joke!

-Jeanette ;-) (25 days to my B-day)
P.S. for French I discovered my name means God is Gracious. and my middle name means Gods oath; dedicated.

Totally FAWESOME Video Emma!

I loved the video. I love his eyes. Speaking of Rise Against, Emma, could I at some point borrow the album The Sufferer And The Witness? I want to copy it, I love Roadside. It's just Fawesome. I'll stop stealing your word now Emma.

Other than that, I don't have much to say. Emma, I will send you the soundtrack to the commercial. Let me know if you want it, for anyone else!

September 30, 2008

I felt that I should acknowledge the last day of September; our last day of the first month of high school. Wow.

That's an awesome commercial Alicia- I've seen it before, but you're right about the fact we can't watch it too many times. I'd love to have that song too.

OCTOBER 7! Rise Against's new album Appeal To Reason comes out! Sara I know you're excited. EVERYONE should watch this FAWESOME video. Listen to the lyrics, know what it's about. They're such a proactive band. The single is called Re-education (Through Labor).

How fawesome is that? Like my new word? FAWESOME? It's totally fool. Yeah. I just finished reading The Last Days. End of September room cleanup today. I better get on that soon. Yikes!

-Emma (You have to find your own signature Jeanette)

I'm Tired

Hey everyone,
Cody has my MSN get it from her or Katie has it too. so Im so tired. All the homework. G2G must go and recive more homework now!!!

-Jeanette

Discovery Channel

If you haven't seen this commercial, I demand you watch it. It's awesome. If you have, watch it again. If you want the soundtrack, I can send it to you.

I am almost done chapter five of Among The Trees, so you will be recieving that soon. I didn't get any feedback for chapter four, so I'm guessing you guys have homework (I know I do) so just read it when you can and send as much feedback as you can. Jeanette, do you have MSN? If so, can I get it through someone who has it, because I know you probably don't want to put it up on the internet?

So, that's about it. Watch the commercial! Oh and Jeanette, you may have noticed we all have a cool little signature, and I think you should make one! It's fun!

Alicia xoxo <3

Aphrodite ehh?

I think it is hilarious that u were Aphrodite, cuz of the House of Night series, where Aphrodite was a Hag from Hell that was super selfish with screwed parents. But i like the name Aphrodite anyways, and i love the god. (I love all greek gods, in fact, my cat is named after the most prominant greek god, Zeus)

Anyhoo, seeing as thats the only thing i had to say, i will leave now.

Goodbye!!

Soph

(oh, ps Jeanette, it was always called English, but the teachers thought we were too stupid to understand that, so they put language. Just thought u should kno :P )

Hi everyone,
I feel sorry for you Cody! That is alot of homework! But, I think your English homework might be impossible, How is anyone supposed to explain what goes on in you head? lol, just kidding! So I still find Pip quite annoying, and I have to finish my buisness homework. I may be procrastinating just a bit.

I just had a random thought today. Did anyone notice we went from calling English class Language to English. Does anyone else think thats weird??? Anyway random thought over.

So what is everyone doing this week? You must let me know when you finish Brisinger everyone, I want to talk about it!!! I have a docters appoinment tommorrow for my spastic knee. I'm not kidding its really spastic. Oh here is the link to the list of Inheritance theroies, I posted them on my website. http://music---genius.piczo.com/inheritancetheroies?cr=4&linkvar=000044 You do have to scroll over a bit to see it.

Ta ta for now.
-Jeanette

Heyy

Heyy guys,
I have tons of homework too Jeantte too, don't worry. I have to make a too scale diagram of the solar system, and do a fact sheet on constellations. I have a giant french project that I have to start working on, and I have to memorize the presentation. I have about four English thingss going on, one of which I have to explain what's going on in my head. And on top of that I have a business test coming up. I am completely burnt out.

Livi, I have cowboy boots, but I think they were my dad's froma long time ago, and they're really small. Sorry, but they odn't even fit me. You can come try them on if you want though, or I can look cuz I think we have another pair.

Tamakwa was amzing. We had these groups named after Greek Gods, and I as Aphrodite. We had the best cheer, and definetly said it the most often, but we came in last anyways. The dance was great and you know what was scary? Guys fast danced. It was crazy! And in the talent show all the grade twelve guys started stripping (yes I have it on video). Honest to Blog!

Luv you all! Cody

Woah.. Six Degrees of Separation at Work..

My sister was just at the mall with this guy who she's friends with, (I kinda forgot his name..) and he knows Monique.... Weirdness..

Spoog is rubbing her heard on my foot and purring. It's very cute.

Announcement!!!!
Anybody with rather large cowboy boots, please contact me in any way shape or form! I need some. If so, I will steal them (withyour permission) and give them back in a little while. ALSO! To Sophie! I would love to have Angels and Demons back if you please. You've had it for more than three months now...
Okeys, announcement over. Thank thou for thine patience.

Books Books Books! I love Books!

Hi Guys,
So I just finished Brisinger! Anyone else finished? If not I promise I wont give anything away! It was good. I still like Eldest better though. So in homwork, I have math, I hate polynomials, English, I have to read Great Expectations, and I hate Pip, and Geography, I have to design an island shaped like a pear, except it looks more like a bowling pin. Oh and Buisness, I have to do a powerpoint on who I am. It is very weird. I dont like my buisness teacher she marked me absent when I was in class, and she explains everything too much. So thats all I have to say. Except, I think the last Inheritance book will be called Empire and be green. Oh I have these theroies that My friend Lauren ( who goes to ESA as well) sent to me. If anyone wants to read them tell me and I'll send them to you. Everyone have a good weekend.

Updates

I've updated our lovely Important Dates, our Favourite Books, and our Links To Check Out. Go take a look, and if there's something missing from your personal schedule on the Important Dates, let me know.

Can we maybe keep the yelling on the blog to a minimum? It's not the prettiest thing to look at Sophie. The same with zero capital letters. It's really difficult to understand.

I would LOVE to borrow Untamed Sara. As soon as possible, because you know I read the last book in three hours. I don't think it will set Sophie back any for me to read it first, but it's up to you.

Blog about your weekend people. I'm glad to see we've been getting back into the habit lately. Cody, blog about Algonquin. And try to convince Shauna to blog again. It's been months for her.

Got to practice my karate and dance moves. They're strangely similar.

-Emma

emma

oh, by the way emma, u might wanna update the important notices thingy soon....

SARA I HATE YOU AND I THINK YOU SHOULD DIE A SLOW AND PAINFUL DEATH!!!

There were a great many things that angered me with you last blog. One, YOU HAVE NEVER BOUGHT ME A COOKIE!! two, I GAVE YOU TWO DOLLARS TO BUY CHIPS! Three, YOU SAID I COULD READ BETRAYED AFTER ALICIA!!!! DO I NOT EXSIST TO YOU ANYMORE!??! AM I A FIGMENT OF IMAGINATION??!! AM I JUST HEAR TO MOOCH OFF OF YOU WHICH IS TOTALLY WRONG CUZ YOU MOOCH OFF OF ME??!? HUH?? HUH???

Now that thats out of the way, Emma, I will be buying your book, when i get the money and SARA stops mooching off of me. (Also $25 buckers is really expensive, even for a book :P) Welcome, Jeanette, to the blog, I am not a person with anger issues, just SARA HATES ME!!!!!!!!!

Toodles

Soph<3

Bwa! Angry Letter Time!

I say we all band together and write Christopher Paolini a VERY stern letter. It shall start: Dear Mr. Paolini... You can't choose titles to save your life, which you may need to do because I will KILL YOU if you don't choose a non-crappy title for your next book. GOT IT?

Maybe that's too stern...

Anywayses, I need some name consideration. What name sounds better: Aurora Church or Sheena Drake? Maybe Ruthie Finch? The person will probably be quiet yet very tough with a small aggressive streak in her. She isn't a loud, crazy RARGHHH fighter type person. OOH!! I found the COOLEST name in the entire history of forever! Twila Knight. Ahhh that sounds AWESOME! I should use it someday... feel free to steal it if you please.

I'm a little hyper if you didnt notice already from all the capses and strage usage of grammar and all that stuffs and my terrible sentence formation. We had a crazy writing stream of thought hing in englsih today which i thought would be perfect for Sara cause it's all random crazyness that comes out of your head and goes onto paper. Is fun.

Okey dokey BWYE!

--Livi♥

School...Blargh...

Yeah... So the weekend has finally come and I'm happy. I have stupid French,Math,English & Science homework. Math is confusing but each class I'm getting more and more used to it and learning more and it's becoming easier.

Emma, I'm sorry I haven't been able to get you the money, but I currently only possess $5 and I don't know when I'll be getting anymore so Im sorry. I tried to save up money for your book but I had to get so much stuff from school, and with Alicia and Sophies need for borrowing money off me to get cookies (even though they are the most amazing cookies ever) I no longer have enough money... so I don't know if i'll be able to buy your book.

In other news... I am once again starting Bronze Cross (Alicia is too so I'm not the only one in this mess) And I don't wanna go for the obvious reason it's alot of physical and mental work for a Sunday afternoon.

I am currently reading Untamed (the fourth book in the series Marked,Betrayed,Chosen) and so far it's pretty good, nothing special. Emma did you buy a copy? If you don't get one you can borrow it after Alicia reads it, after I read it.

Well, for me that was quite a long blog. I shall now go and write some and read some. Tootles.

--Sara ♥♣♥

I Adore Weekends!

Truly, I do. I love weekends, they rock! I have a billion assignments to work on though. Okay, only two, but still...

GRR! I hate the name of Brisingr too! Really, you couldn't go with the flow? Really. Sheesh. I am going to get it soon, and there are other books I need to get. Emma, I just need to sort a few things out, but we will start singing as soon as possible. I just have a lot of assignments right now, so as soon as I get them out of the way.

I am going to be writing more of Among The Trees soon, so prepare to send feedback people! I have also gotten another story idea, and am forming it in my handy dandy notebook (hee hee Bluesclues) and may or may not start it soon. I'm debating whether or not I should write it while I'm writing Among The Trees, or after I'm done. What do you guys think? Please let me know.

Alicia xoxo <3

Thursday Thursday

So today was pretty good. I had dance class first thing in the morning, and I have to say that I thought I did pretty well. I even got a small compliment from Ms. Hogg on the floor work. That made me feel way better about it. And then we got to swear in drama class. And next week we get to be little people making tea for a giant.

Sara and Alicia are the two people who've told me they're buying my book. Next time I see you please! And Alicia, when do you want singing lessons to start? It's up to you. But on Tuesdays.

Don't have much to say today. Pretty tired, but about to work on some more of my story. Anyone read chapter 7 and 8 yet? I can't wait for your feedback, so I hope you can get that to me soon. It will start to get better very soon, when they make it to the cottage. Trust me. Way better.

Thanks for the limerick compliment Olivia. And because of it, I will put up my limerick from my poetry anthology for you to read. Tell me what you think this time!

A girl on her trip to the sea,
Made a gorgeous sandcastle with glee.
But when she washed off, her mother did scoff,
'Sand's in places, sand shouldn't be!'

-Emma

Thank YOU!!

Jeanette! OMG! I HATE the name for the newest Eragon book. Brisingr? Whatever happened to five letters and starting with E?!?!? WHY IS ERAGON ALWAYS SO SCREWY???

Ahem. I apologize. That explosion has been simmering inside me just waiting for the book. I'm gonna go buy it though. The books, even if amature and based too much on LOTR, are still good and I like them.

Emma, that is the BEST limerick I've ever heard. I'm serious. And I'm probably not gonna order a copy of your book. I'll steal it from someone.

Laters.

--Livi♥

I'm Addicted to this game

Ok so I found this game call Flood It! it is so addicting. I play it all the time. I just finished City of Bones! it is really good. hey Cody do you have City of Ashes? Can i borrow it if you do??? Also is anyone reading brisinger. I preordered it and im getting it tonight. I hate the title!!! What a stupid name!! I think it should have been Empire. If you haven't read Eragon and Eldest but want to (i dont know if everyone has read it) this could be a spoiler. I think Roran will be the last dragon rider because this is the only member of Eragon's Family still alive that isn't a rider. Anyway, i have to go, i suggest no one get me started on Books that annoy me, i could go on forever.

-Jeanette :-)

NEETTTTTYYY!

Heyz, I just wanted to welcome our newest member Jeanette!!!!!! Other than I have nothing to say but Algonquiun park tuesday!

Cassandra Clare Canada

Here's an update from Cassandra Clare:

Cassandra Clare:
This is the info I have so far:

"Your Toronto event on December 8 will be at the Bayview Village (it’s
a mall) location of Indigo, northeast corner of Sheppard and Bayview
Avenues. Exact time still TBA but, given that it’s a Monday, my guess
is 6:00 or 7:00.

December 9 at Vankids in Vancouver is at 3083 West Broadway, corner of
Balaclava St. It is also an evening event with precise time TBA."

Sounds awesome! Everyone's going, right?

-Emma

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone. as you may have noticed im obsessed with excamation points. so jsut wanted to say hi and hope everyone is having a good school year. I miss all you guys. soooo see you all some other time.

Tired Thursday

Finally it seems that my complaining on the blog has paid off! Thank you Alicia and Sara for promising that you will soon be buying Into The Night. I just need to know about Sophie and- Olivia? I'm not sure. But thank you anyhow.
As a status update on my first novel, Within Hewitt Manor, I earned $33.77 from our 11 purchased copies. As the recently sent out press release circulates, hopefully that will draw more attention to both Within Hewitt Manor and Into The Night.

Cody, I've invited Jeanette to the blog, and it is now up to her to respond. Just a clarification though; Jeanette is everyone on the blogs friend, and shares a childhood with us. The blog will only remain open to those who fit the criteria, even as we meet new friends in high school. But they're welcome to read if they'd like.

Today was exhausting. I had a lot of homework. Theory class is testing, but so far the work's been okay. I actually like Science right now which is surprising, Geography's alright too. I love English and my Drama Elective class best so far though. Even Dance class seems to be okay, though its straining physically and requires a ton of equipment and discipline.
Karate starts tomorrow, so I guess Alicia and Sara decided that they won't be coming. If you want, you can still sign up for next week, but do it fast. Victoria and I are going to get ahead of you!

I'll leave you with a limerick I wrote under the idea of a Poetry Anthology for English Class. Tell me what you think.

There once was a girl from Nantucket,
Who carried a green-filled paint bucket.
She tripped on a stone, the bucket was thrown-
And her green little brother screamed f**k it!

-Emma

Ick

I am sniffly, coughing and feeling sick. I think i may have the flu, or whatever Lisha and Sara had when they got in my car all germy and infectious. :P

I'm gonna be gone tomorrow and the weekend. Retreat for school. I kinda don't want to go though. I won't have you guys and I'll be feeling like crap. : {( Mustache man is sad too<<<

Ehhhh.... Must go shower...

--Livi♥

Heyyy

hey ya'll,
sorry I haven't blogged in a while, I've been swamped with homeowrk. Really miss everyone, adn hope you don't have three projects right now like I do. So I ogt facebook, but I rarely use it, but you can add me as a friend if you want. Emma, you make me feel special, with me getting a good signature in the front of my book, and Sara thanks for the party comment-it's awesome. So I've gots to go, but Emma one thing- Jeanette was saying how she reads the blog and all, and I was wondering if you could invite her to it, since she seems to want to, but never ask. I'll tell you her email when we talk so I don't post it for the world to see-unless you already have it.
Cody

Money Money...

Whoa... when did life get so expensive? God, $20 here, $15 there... I'm basically broke except for a 20 I've been saving which I shall use to buy Into The Night, which I shall hopefully be gettin the money to Emma soon.

Seriously Emma, You need to invite me over to watch The Shiny!!! Sheesh! But I understand... your busy life cannot fit in poor old Sara... --sniffles--

Nah, I'm joking, will hopefully watch it before we graduate high school... right? I haven't actually blogged in awhile so I will blog now about nothing special... CODY! AWESOME PARTAY!

Dur... I believe thats all I have to say about my oh so thrilling life... Tootles...

--Sara ♥♣♥

I'm Sorry!

Hey, I'm really sorry Emma, but I am seriously broke! I had the 20 and was about to get 5, but I spent it on Cody's gift (not blaming you Cody!)

I will pay you AS SOON as I get $25, it's my current thing I'm saving for. I'm really sorry it's taking forever!

Alicia xoxo <3

I swear you guys drive me nuts!

If you actually want a copy of Into The Night, it's $25.00.
If not, TELL ME so I can buy the copies for people who actually would like it one day.
It's been three months I've waited!
Cody is the only out of all you guys to give me money, approximately two days after it was available. She gets a special copy because of this, and no one else's will be near as personal.
If you'd like to save me from jumping off a tall building, please get the money to mean ASAP, or I'm going to be disappointed and buy without you. You will not get a copy.
Alicia, if you want help, I need to know that YOU will help ME too.
Thank you for your time.

-Emma

Happy Happy Happy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CODY!

Sorry I couldnt make it to your party! Hope you liked the gift.

Nee heheheh! I'm at school. Music and Computers class. Have math next...

:P

Livi♥

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

HAPPY B-DAY CODY-ODY!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR CODY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! (Please imagine tune at my belting song).

So, now you are officially 14 AND INSANE!!! (not that you weren't already.) I'll see you today at your partay!!!!

Alicia xoxo<3

howdy

heii ya'll! SO as you know I am turning fourteen tomorrow! EXCITING! I hope all of you can come to my party, and LIvi, I haven't asked my parents about the whole dinner thingy, but I would like to go. NAyways just tell me when it is!
Cody

I DO I DO!!!

Sheesh Liv, I said I wanted to come. I haven't told my parents yet, but I will. I'd need a date and stuff though. What if my parents can't come, can I still? Because it would just suck if I couldn't. I don't mind cooking for other peoples parents.

I love tomorrow. Late start, school only starts at 10! YAY!!!!! Sleep in!!! Yay (I state again) ! I still have not recieved any feedback for Among The Trees, except from Sara, and Emma tried. No feedback, no story. Easy peasy. Sophie has an excuse because I know she is catching up on all the stuff we sent her, but the rest of you are just being poopy. Read it, then send even just a coupld sentences (although I do prefer a paragraph, but sentences will do). Please?! I'm dying here. This story is new, it needs judgement!

Alicia xoxo<3

I ♥ The wednesday program!

They have a novel writing session! I'm gonna take yoga, an architectural walk and some other things.

So is everyone up for the dinner thing? I'm gonna tell my parents if i want to do it soon, and I should like to know who wants to come. So far: Emma and Sara. Only two people i know of for sure.
Short, random, pointless post.

--Livi♥

Oh, The End Of The Weekend...

Yes, end of the weekend. How sad. I'll be tired tomorrow, I hate Mondays. I hope you guys have read Among The Trees and liked it. I only got feedback from Sara, but I know that Emma tried. The rest of you didn't (poo on you.) I just sent all of Chapter 1, so hopefully I'll get a bigger response this time.

Other than that, I don't have much to say. The end of my murder mystery will be coming soon, I can feel the need to write it coming into my writer's veins (lol). So, Soph and Sara I will see you tomorrow at 7:40, and the rest of you, hopefully I see you soon.

Alicia xoxo<3

HEY GUYS REMEMBER THIS!?!?

i just found the pic of MIKEY WAY with the Heart Shaped Cupcake in his hands saying: I love Lishi Barras !!!!!! HAHAHA

First Day of Highschool...Sort of

So, today was all of our first day of school, (i know my grammar is wrong there, somewhere,) but, for us (most of us) it was a half day, and most people also didn't do much work, sooo, the first REAL day of school is tomorra, and im not ready for ap classes!!

I'm About To Be Extreamely Childish Here

NO! I WILL NOT GO TO HIGHSCHOOL! THIS IS TOO QUICK! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME, YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I SHANT GO!!!!!

Sorry, I needed to let that out somewhere.

Alicia xoxo<3

Staples is set for enternal damnation!!

Staples is on my hate list for not being open on labour day. I mean, thats the day the parents have their vacation, hence that be the day the children need to go back to school shopping. I need a lock! But was Staples there for me when I needed it the most? No! Binders and backpacks and pens can wait, but locks can't! I am in serious distress. :(

Oh, by the way Liv, I think the parents dinner thingamagic is a super terrific idea, buz i like to cook, and I like my parents. (Yours too, but i kinda like mine more.)

I must be off to shoppers drug mart to buy a new lock.

goodbye!!

Soph

:)

Indeed it was Olivia. Indeed it was. But necessary all the same.

So, yes. Summer is rapidly coming to a close. The times without studying, business, and times with pool parties, friendly gatherings, lazy crazy days, and fish are coming to a close. Well, most of those times anyways. :) I don't want tomorrow to come yet. I'm not ready. I have to practice my performance piece, clean my room, do a load of laundry, and put together my school supplies still. I've been procrastinating. Sorry, I'm distracted.

That dinner sounds awesome Olivia. I'm so up for it. But, beware. If I'm to cook anything, you'll probably all die. Chopping, dicing, mixing and especially mashing are more my forte. And they're fun!

Woah. My brother just apologized to me.

-Emma

AAAAH!!! Too Fast!

How did summer go by so fast? I feel like it was just yesterday I was saying goodbye to you guys and going to Portugal! But it also feels like a forever ago! I'm not ready to wake up tomorrow and go to school. Much less a NEW school! I'm scared!

In other news, Livi, I think that huge dinner is an awesome idea! I think it would be fun for us to cook! I think it's great, and we'd all get to see each other! So, that's all I have to say. Good luck everybody, in a matter of hours we will be going to highschool.

Alicia xoxo<3

....?

...Umm... That was a different post there Emma.

I now know how Lisha and Cody feel... I'm now an only child. We dropped my sister off at her house a couple days ago, for university. I've been texting her ever since though which is good. She's off campus, so her colour is orange!

ONE day! Tomorrow... Moment of truth... Highschool. I'm scared now. It's too close! Wahhhh!

Oh, and my parents and I had a really good idea yesterday. We thought it would be fun if I invite all my friends over with their parents for a huge dinner. But, there's a TWIST! WE would cook the food. I love cooking and I'm sure (some of) you guys do too, so tell me what you think!
Okeyss, Bye!
