hmm..manager, eh?

if i could manage you, that would be sooooo cool :) speaking of which, call me the next time you need support from the audience, i'd be glad to join (you should know that my curfew is now 11 on weekends :) so i can roam a little) btw aaron, i'm really not trying to bug you bout your love life (well mebbie i am a little..) but i'm just trying to make sense of some of the blogs i read here. okay...my mom is snoring really loudly...kinda scary...anyway, i'm glad you've taken initiative to get us together..seems like no one else would do anything about it. I'll probly be free anytime on the weekends, so call me up. (maybe more taboo...i can see lily getting shifty already)

ann

aaron's a dink...and smelly! YEAH

thought i'd never come back eh...
well you were on the right track but i dont' know.
I need to catch up on hw because MIDTERMS...THE NIDTERMS>...ARGH
hope you guys are all well.
I'll see you during the reading break

ARCT Performer!! Finally!! (I passed my Grade 11 piano exam... duh)

Yeah, I'm starting to agree about the "3 of us" thing. Lily seems too busy with school/test/exams/studying like a mad woman/making out with Jon and as for Joanne... well, i don't think any of us really talk to her anymore, or maybe even see her? I haven't seen her since my 2nd birthday party (which was a failure, btw).

Ann...... why are you asking me about my love life? What have you been hearing? (if anything, that is) If you're just saying that to bug me, then no, i have no love life and you should know better than to ask me. If you're saying that because you have been told info from an unknown source (hmm....) then... you should know better anyway. How's YOUR love life?? Are you trying to distract everyone while you're secretly harbouring some hot guy in your house? Is that it??? I knew it!!!! Muahaha, I'm so smart.

Ahh... yes i remember Ivan and Daphne (I'm pretty sure that's a closer spelling that your version). Ivan was kinda weird sometimes and pissed me off sometimes too. Daphne was cool. Or at least from what I remember in grade 5, aka my last year at Maple Grove. God, I haven't been there in so long, although I have dreams about that place. It's kinda weird.

Um... how much is this corn/cob thing? Why don't you just buy normal popcorn? That way, it won't "traumatize" you when it pops inisde of a frickin' bag. But it does sound different, and different means interesting, so i am intrigued. Why the hell is a bookstore selling corn/cob things? Then again, Chapters sells bottled water, so I guess why not other food?

So I had a great time yesterday performing... I never thought ppl would actually be listening. well, I mean, they are listening, but i guess paying attention is a different story. And then when i finished my first song and it was just silent. I was kinda stunned... maybe I'm a tad bit better than I thought. Maybe not. I dunno... thanks again for coming Chels (+ Dan, but he's not gonna read this). I just gotta finish some more songs and then hopefully have them prepared for next time. And hopefully sign up for a bunch more open mic places, preferably around Vancouver. Ahhhh.... I need a manager. (Ann.... you seem like the business type!!)

Well, I should go. So much for me to do for my music...... i'm excited. I still need that manager though... haha (Ann!)

~~Aaron

PS We should do something, and I'm going to get us together instead of whinning about it

more like the 3_of_us..

where are Lily and Joanne? aaron, is your love life somewhat advancing, hmm? wink* wink* ..but enough with the creepyness. Here's a blast from the past, i recently met someone at sfu that went to maple grove, perhaps you remember him, his name is Ivan. And Daphany (if that's her name..can't quite remember) also goes to sfu. So i hear your hair is pink now, i must see. And what's this about another surprise?? you guys are starting to freighten me with all your surprises, it better not be some evil scheme to smite me in some way...but the deal with the popcorn is that (hopefully chels didn't tell you, or i will have written my long spiel for nothing) at the sfu bookstore there are these cobs of corn things that you can actually pop. here's how it works:

step 1: put the cob in the microwave, step 2: turn it on and don't leave your microwave (or you can leave and watch your house burn to smithereens..your choice), step 3: get traumatized as it violently bursts open in loud bangs..

so there, mr. what's-the-deal-with-the-corn.

chels, i'm glad you quit your job at shoppers (don't worry, i'll get over the discount thing). two jobs seems overwhelming to me..hopefully now you'll have more time to relax and be sane..man, i wanna see what the surprise is...i MUST go visit you ppl at ubc, tell me what time you have your breaks.

ann

crap, it's late

urgl.... my feet hurt. stupid campus. far away classes. kind of. daaamn yoooou...

i got new (snow) boots. and some other clothes... was in richmond yesterday to get a textbook for dan (with dan) and yeah. i didn't mean to... but i got some quite good deals :) oh yeah ann, i don't work at shoppers anymore. sorry :( if you wanted to get something discounted... long story. i'll explain one day when we have time...


so, before my discount went away, i took advantage of my 30% off... mwahaha. and spent mucho mucho monay on makeup. and makeup tools :) (brushes, BRUSHES!!! AHAHAHAHA!!!!) don't ask how much. dan was quite alarmed... and he usually doesn't care what i spend my money on :P so i was deeply satisfied.

we got satellite (sp?). i despise it. there are so many channels i can't find anything to watch. ironically. which is good, i guess, in the end because now i have even more reason to not watch tv. stupid tv.

what else is new? hmm... well, i can't wait for my hair to grow out again. i'm tired of stupid short hair going down the back of my neck and tucking itself into my shirt. >:| i think i'll keep my bangs though.

i can't think of anything else to say, really. nothing much is new. and aarie... i think you know what it means (in reference to your post script...)

-chels
ps to aarie- it means he misses you and that may or may not indicate that he would like to see you soon. depends on the context. but i think you can interpret it for yourself. don't be scared to follow your judgement.

What's this about popcorn and stuff? I feel so left out... and I'm the one who started this whole thing too!!!

I think I'm gonna dye my hair again... like, soon. Like maybe this week? I'm thinking pink, but I don't know.... Maggie's going to dye her hair today... purple! Dark purple, from what I hear, but I guess we'll see how that turns out. Yay!!!

You missed a good show last night Chels (well, I guess we'll toss in Lily and Ann too). And Sean came! You would've met him... I think you'd like him. I guess there's always next week, huh? Lily says she'll come next week if you go, so it all depends on you... doo doo doo

What else has been going on? I had my ARCT exam yesterday. And i think i failed. Really. Actually. I'm not just saying that because i'm trying to be modest or whatever, but I really do think I didn't pass. But in the unlikelyhood that I did, it won't be by much, which is fine, because all I want to do is just pass the damn thing... or else that's $335 gone. Yeah... that's RCM for you.

You guys want to do something on Saturday? I know it's late notice, but maybe we can dye my hair!!! I still have to get the colour dye though, and we can venture out to Richmond to get it from Save on Foods (no, the one in Burnaby doesn't have it, Chels) or we could always go downtown to get it too. I think i'll phone ppl 2nite.

Lily: Check the blog more often...

Chels: I'll phone you... and if you want, come next week for my show?

Ann: Hope you're not going crazy over Chels' surprise... (I wonder what it is?) I think you're funny... i also have a surprise for you, but it's not at all done yet.

Joanne: You still there? Hope your trip was okay... did you get my e-mail?

You guys interested in Canadian Idol? January 3... Bekki wants to go audition avec moi, but i don't really feel like it. Dunnoooooooooo

I'm just gonna shut up and go now................

~~Aaron

PS. What does it mean when I guy says, "It's [insert name].... i miss you"? I don't know what to say...

shortest blog ever...

yay, i love surprises! and btw, i recorded the corn thing, i'll send it to you.

ann

congrats, aarie

so... i should be doing my pre-lecture readings for bio and chem but i came online to make a post on the bio discussion board (yes, i AM COOL) to find a study group (we need to do group projects and stuff and there are 100+ people in the class) with people who live near me. no one has replied :( well, it has only been 10 mins, but still. i'm sad. no one likes me...

ann: wow. did you eat it? did it taste good? i'm slightly disappointed but i'm laughing at the pic anyways. at least you took a pic :) i have a surprise for you, btw. it's really stupid but i think it'll be funny.

aarie: okay, well, first of all, i really don't think your mom would kick you out. i knooow you heard your mom say so and all that, but like, when things get hard, don't we all kind of want to back out? but she's your mom, and i honestly do not think, at all, for even a second, that she would kick you out (unless you started doing scandalous things like... heavily making out with people in your living room, everyday or something).
side note... dan and his mom were having a fight once and he slammed his door and she was like "if you slam that door one more time i'm kicking you out of the house!" and of course, dan being the retard he is, opened the door and slammed it harder.
he's, of course, still at home.
anyways, back to you, aarie... secondly, even if the odd situation did arise, you know you can stay with me. there's way more than enough food (lily would know) and i just cleaned my room and everything :) seriously. i mean, my parents wouldn't be ecstatic about it and would prolly bug me at first but like... they wouldn't force you out because they know better. anyways, if they were really being outrageous and did, for some retarded reason, you know i'd follow you :) really. because i think that's just completely stupid and i wouldn't want to stick around anyways. oh, hey, we could prolly run away to dan's (his parents are the loveliest people ever) :) or if we're really desperate we can find some stupid hotel or something. but you hafta carry the bio and chem text books...
anyways, the point is, don't worry. you won't get kicked out, and if hell freezes over and you do... well, you've got back up, 'kay?

new cell number for now, btw. i'm hardly ever at home (at school, work, or dan's) so if you can't get me there, then call 778-859-5724. i haven't told many people 'cause i'm gonna go back to my old cell as soon as this one runs outta money (but it's lasting me longer than expected). sorry i missed your thing, aarie :(

oh, and if you guys wanna do stuff, here's when i'm working for the next while:
sat 13th
sun 14th
fri 19th
sun 21st
sat 27th
(and likely the 28th)

note: that's only at IGA... at shopper's i don't work too much, anyways though, so it shouldn't be a problem. oh, and i'm applying for some volunteer positions so i may (as in, very likely) be leaving IGA anyways, but i'm waiting for answers first before i do anything.

i just bought my books so i feel poor :( i only had to spend like, just over $200 on them too :P (ONLY)

okay, i'm actually gonna shower and do my readings now. REALLY.

-chels :)
ps- aarie, i realised a while ago that my parents are very much... unsatified with me. they always have been and always told me i wasn't as helpful or as smart as so-and-so's kid and this person in the newspaper and all that. and i'm sure i've told you this before, but the thing is, i get it now: i will never be good enough for them. it used to depress me, but like... now i just figure they always want the best for me and are trying to encourage me in their own sadistic way. it may not be suitable for me, but they try. i'm sure your mom just wants the best for you too. really. she wants you to go to school and work and do all that because she wants you to make money because, maybe to her, money means stability, which means happiness. you prolly just define happiness in a different way that isn't heavily dependent on income. your mom prolly doesn't think you can be happy without enough money, is all (food, a nice house, etc), so she's trying to get you to do something about it. i'm sure she means no harm.

ello ello

so school starts again...how are everyones classes going?
Aaron, congrats on your first performance, hopefully it will be the first of many more to come.
chels i have some bad news, remember the corn that you wanted? well i got some but i couldn't find you (house/cell) so i popped it myself...it's pretty traumatic..(btw, word of advice, joanne if you decide to pop yours DO NOT LEAVE YOUR MICROWAVE, it burns really fast..)
here's a an idea of the mess..

ps. would it be so hard to make time to hang out during school? i think not. i don't want the next time i see you guys to be spring break :/

anner bananer

First performance!!!!

Happy New Year tout le monde... hope you all are enjoying another year. Another year to do crazy stuff and make resolutions are just waiting to be broken... i don't know what I'm talking about anymore.

Where did all you guys go? This hasn't been updated in a week... and what about today? I finally get prepared for my first public performance and i can't get a hold of any of you (except Annie). You better have good excuses (I think chels was working... but LILY!!) Anyway, i managed to get Bekki and my friend Sean to come and see me. It was a hoot... and I was so nervous before but then as it lead up to me, I got excited and was like, "BRING IT ON!!!" Hopefully, that's what i did. I played 4 songs, with little talks in between each one. I played 2 of my own songs, and two other songs (Behind These Hazel Eyes, Paradise). The cafe I played at was pretty small and ppl were doing other things, which made me feel way more comfortable. Afterwards, I sat back down with Bekki and Sean and talked for a bit about my performance... apparently they liked one of my songs, which is good, because i hate all of my songs. Anyway, i'm looking forward to performing again soon and i want you guys to be there for it... sorry i didn't let you know earlier, but i just phoned this afternoon.

I heard my mom talking to Florence this afternoon about me... my mom said how she was disappointed about how I wasn't going to school + quitting my job, and dedicating my time to music, which "doesn't provide income". Then, she said something about kicking me and Maggie out of the house... I don't know what to do. She hasn't talked to me or anything, so I dont' know what's going to happen. My dad warned me that this might happen, and I guess I didn't believe my mom could kick me out, but she's already considered it. I guess the only thing I can do is concetrate on my music a bit more, and try harder. I dunno...

so what's with the rest of you? hope you're all doing all right... and how about those lyrics Lily + Ann? Or are you too busy with other stuff? Ahh.... too tired ... think i'm gonna go now.

~~AAron

PS Check my myspace for updates on next performances... or i'll phone you?
