It's A Jolly Holiday With Mary .............. << previous // next >>
" It's a jolly holiday with Mary! No wonder that it's Mary that we love! When Mary holds your hand, you feel so grand. Your heart starts beating like a big brass band!" - excerpt from a Mary Poppins song This week has been a very interesting week. Some of it is good, other parts aren't so good and the remainder of it is a bit disturbing. Well...I suppose the first thing that I want to tell you is that dreams do come true! Danny finally said " I love you" and I know that he meant it. It was very sweet. I realized too, just how much I care about him and I can't believe that a month ago or so, I had considered breaking up with him. I must've been out of my mind! Sure, we had a lot of problems, but we learned to get around them. Now, it seems like it's going to be smooth sailing from here (or so I hope)...*Smile* Danny, if you're reading this...*HUGGG* Love you! Yesterday I got back late and I was so exhausted from school. On Thursdays, my classes start at 8:30 AM and I wouldn't be complaining if it didn't take me 1.5 hours to get to university. I have to leave my house so early and I'm usually eating breakfast on my way to school. I hate rushing. I really should try to get up earlier to give myself more time. Lately I've been 'running around in the morning like a headless chicken' (quoting my Dad's comments). He's right though...and so is my Mom. If I woke up just 15 minutes earlier, I wouldn't have to rush to get to school. *Sigh* Why is it that parents are usually right? *Smirk* haha.... Hey...I'm not sure if I told you in a previous entry or not, but this singer, Emm Gryner has this CD out called "Girl Versions". Anyway, for the longest time I wanted to get it, but everywhere I looked, they didn't have any copies left. She's not a terribly famous singer, which is surprising, because she's AWESOME! Her melodies are soft on that album...very feminine (which is probably why my boyfriend doesn't care for her songs...*smirk*) On that particular album, she sings heavy metal songs, but she has converted them into soft, delicate tunes. This is very cool. I actually didn't know about her until one night when I was flipping through the channels, I stopped to see her perform on the Mike Bullard show. I thought the way she played the piano and sang was just incredible. I knew that I had to get the album. Anyway, so...guess what? My boyfriend ended up buying it for me as a surprise! *Smile* When I went over to his house on Saturday, he gave it to me. I was so thrilled! Aparently he got it downtown and they had lots of copies there. I never looked there. Anyway, if you're into mellow tunes, girlish vocals and instrumental segments, you'll love her album. Another awesome song to check out is "Edge of the Ocean" sung by Ivy. That's equally awesome. It reminds me of Enya's "Only Time" dreamy music. I discovered Ivy's "Edge of the Ocean" while watching Roswell, one of my favourite television shows (and the only one that I actually follow every week). They played it in the background when the bride and groom danced. It's so featherly light and now I'm totally addicted to that song. I have all of Ivy's songs on the "Long Distance" album. They are an incredible group. Oh...and I checked out the HMV website for the album price. It's $14.99 (Canadian) plus shipping and handling and when I went to the store, I was surprised to see that they were charging $25.99 plus tax for it!!! I'd rather buy it online to save the money and get it shipped directly to my house. Okay, now with music aside, let me tell you about yesterday after school. For me, school ends on Thursdays at 4:30 PM. It's my heaviest school day and usually afterwards, Nicole and I go to the mall. We always plan to just window shop, but for some reason, I always end up buying something. I'm good with my money (i.e. saving money), however I just cannot resist one thing: panties. It sounds absolutely ridiculous, I know...and yes, Nicole did say that I was obsessed with underwear. I know it's true, but really...I found 6 awesome ones: 3 from The Bay and 3 from Sears. Some of them were actually irridescent...sorta glimmery/shimmery/glittery...others were just plain funky, with a white background and black text with words like intelligent, cute, smile, etc. all on the one underwear...like a collage of words. Two of them were beyond funktified underwear. (Oh...and I don't know if there really is a word called 'funktified'...I think that I might have made it up when I was in grade 10 or something) Anyway...one is polyester and is shiny and smooth...The colour is this amazingly blinding silver...almost like the colour of silver Christmas tinsel. Another was black, but had a goldish irridescent sheen to it (original). I know that this is probably too much information than you wanted or needed to know, but I thought it was cool. Don't go sending me complaints now, because remember...this is my diary and you already knew that I was a weirdo...*Smirk* Fridays are my days off from school. I have a killer schedule that all of my friends envy. Most of them have to go to school Monday to Friday, but nope...not me. *Smile* When I made my timetable in June, I purposely tried extra hard to get a day off so that I could have more time to study and plus spend less time on the public transportation. Anyway, so...this morning, I was still sleeping, and my mother called. Aparently, people at her workplace get special deals on cell phones right now. No, she doesn't work for a cell phone company or anything of the sort. I'm not going to say, because I want to keep her privacy intact, considering that I already give enough information about myself that any pathetic psycho could track me down as it is. *Smirk*...haha...whatever. Anyway...so, she thought that it would be good to get the cell phone. My dad has had one for a long time, but she thought that I should have my own! Isn't this too cool? Normally the child is trying to convince the parents to get them a cell phone or the reasons why they want one. In my situation, my mother is trying to convince me to get one! Anyway, for a newer Nokia model, it only costs $29.95 (Canadian) and then $29 or so for the monthly service. That is amazing! I haven't seen what it looks like, but she's going to bring home a flyer to show me. Hopefully they have some nice colours and styles. I'm not too crazy about cell phones (never was). It would make sense for me to get one though, because I tend to make a lot of calls from the payphone. Well...we'll see by tonight if I'm getting one or not. Today is my mother's 58th birthday! She still looks young though. Most people think that she's in her late 40s...hehe...and my mother always attributes it to her healthy diet and active lifestyle. Yesterday, my dad bought a whole bunch of beautiful roses and now they're in the vases on the two tables. Yesterday I bought my mother a birthday card while I was at the mall. I had already bought her a birthday present ahead of time (about a week ago). My mother is very different than the 'typical' mom and it's really hard to get her something that she'll like and use. Haha...I remember when I was in grade 3, I made her this necklace. I made the beads out of clay at school and I painted them so carefully in all the colours I thought were pretty (ex. pastel pinks, blues, yellows and purples). Well...I gave it to her and of course she was very happy that I had made something from my heart. I was very proud too. Haha...we still have it in the house and whenever I look at it, I cringe and think, "Whoa...I used to think that looked nice????" I know it's the thought that counts, but honestly, those beads were nasty-looking and sooooo heavy! Haha...my mom never did wear it, because the clay beads made it seem more like a necklace a prisoner would be tortured to wear! Haha....that's probably why its home is now under the bathroom sink. *Smirk* We'll probably throw it out one of these days when we get around to it. Last night, a creepy thing happened as I was coming home by myself. As I was walking down the street, this guy (who looked like he was a gang member) came up to me and said, " Yo temptress! Where you goin'?". It was scary. He didn't get violent verbally or physically, but he did circle around me once (as though he was 'checking me out'). I didn't say anything to him (obviously trying to avoid confrontation) and I kept on walking fast. Thank goodness, he didn't continue or I probably would've freaked out. That was a crazy experience and because of that, I probably won't walk alone at night anymore, especially at that hour. I'm not going to be fearful either, just cautious. Yeah, I know...there's a fine line....but there still IS a line. There are some scary people out there. A little note to everyone: Just be observant of your surroundings. Be on your guard. I don't want anything bad to happen to any of you. Alright...this is a really short entry. I want to get off the computer now though and search the fridge for goodies that are calling out my name. So, you all take care and always remember to SPREAD THE SUNSHINE!!!! Bye for now! ~.*-.~.*-.~.*-.~.*-.~.*-.~.*-.~.*-.~.*-.~.*-.~.*-.~.*-.~.*-.~.*-.~.*-.~.*-.~.*-.~.*-.~.*-.~.*-.
