[Thanks to Kelly for the title ;) ]

Everyone reading this entry will be in for a good laugh. :D

So, I got an email from my mother on Monday. Although, I only read it Tuesday because I was at Stefan's house on Monday and didn't get a chance to check my email. The subject of the email was 'Wake Up'. I knew I was in for a good read instantly. XD So, the email was rather long but very enjoyable to read. It started off with how disrespectful she thinks I've been to adults and such. She goes on to talk about Stefan and our situation and how fast she thought I went into the relationship and all. And how I'm being stupid and irresponsible about certain things. 

Before I continue with the next part of the email, I have to explain what happened last week. So, I was on Facebook and I discovered that my mom had gotten Facebook. O_O Woah. Anyways, like the next day or something, my dad told me he had been talking to my mom. And he told me she had logged onto Jo Ann's account (she's one of my friends on Facebook) and looked at the pictures from the toga party I went to a couple of weeks ago. And apparantly, I look drunk in the pictures. O_O Ya, I don't drink. And I wouldn't have that night anyways because I had a headache, and most probably a fever. Then I took drugs for it and that wouldn't have gone well with alcohol. Anyways, so, I was a little upset that my mom went on to someone's account just to see pictures of me. Oh, and she made a comment that Stefan looked like a girl. Which pissed both me and Stefan off. Gah. So, I go on Facebook and take off Doug and Jo Ann. So, like last Thursday or Friday or something, I get a call from my mom. Facebook came up and I told her I knew what she did. And then I informed her that I removed Doug and Jo Ann. She got upset at me that I wasn't going to add her on Facebook. She hung up pissed. Lol.

So, the last part in the email she sent me was about Facebook. She told me that I had until Tuesday night to re-add Doug or I would experience serious consequences. Um, ok. So, I would get in trouble for not re-adding him to Facebook? In my reply to her, I told her it was my Facebook, not hers or Doug's and that I would choose who were my friends on it. And none of them were going to be my friends. I also talked about the fact that I was not drunk at the toga party. And I told her why I don't drink. Because of Doug and her. That they are both alcoholics, whether they admit it or not, and that I don't want to turn into them. I thanked her for setting me that example.

I also mentioned in my reply that just because my mom and Doug are adults, doesn't mean that they deserve respect. just because you're older than someone, doesn't mean you deserve more respect than someone else. Age doesn't matter. 

Oh, and at the end of her email, she mentioned that I shouldn't piss anyonre off, especially those that took me in (aka Doug). And that I should be more respectful towards him for all he's done for me. Okay, yes, thank you for taking me in but no one should EXPECT anything in return for doing something. You should do something because you want to, not because you expect something good in return. That's just wrong thinking. And my mom also mentioned how easy of a life I had living with Doug and all. And I replied basically with a no way in hell was it easy. I had to put up with both Doug and my mom arguing and swearing at each other for hours each night, even though I had to wake up early for school the next day. Ya, easy? No.

So, since Tuesday, I was waiting to get a reply in my email from my mother. Nothing. And when I got back from school today, I found out that she had been trying to call our house. So, sometime in the afternoon, my dad talked to her. When he finished, after like 30 minutes, I went to talk to him to see what she said. Get ready for the best part of this entry. Make sure you're not drinking anything because you might spit it out from laughter. :D

So, basically, I'm like dad, what did she say? He replied that I can get my work shirt and throw it out. Because I was fired. O_O I then asked my dad if my mom had mentioned why my mom got me fired. My dad said that she had nothing to do with me getting fired. That it was Doug that got me fired because I didn't re-add him on Facebook. Ok, so, get this. Because I didn't add Doug, a 40+ year old man who's my boss, I got fired from my job. Ya. Try to understand that. Who the hell does that? Lol. I couldn't stop laughing when I found out. How immature do you have to be to do that? Lmao. It's a freakin' social networking site and because I didn't want to have him as my friends, I was fired. Wow, just wow. That's stooping down to some stupid level, isn't it? I'm still in shock what happened and this happened like 4 hours ago. Oh, and there's more. My dad also told me that he was told that I was not allowed to go to Florida. Lmao. Um, that's 100% fine with me because I had enough bullshit to go through last time I went at Christmas. There was no way I was going back again. Lol. Wow, such immaturity! Lmao. Omg, I can't stop laughing. And I've been smiling like all evening since I found out. ^_^

After I finished talking with my dad, I went back up to my room and told Stefan everything that he said. He had a great laugh along with me and totally agreed that Doug was a huge baby. XD And then after supper, I told Kelly about it and I believe I put a smile on her face as well. And wait till I tell people at the lockers next week. I'm sure everyone will have a good laugh. I've already had two people comment to me on Facebook about it since I've changed my status update to the following: Lindsay got fired from her job because she didn't add her boss on Facebook O_O and is laughing along with Kelly.

Wow, I haven't felt this good in a long time. Well, besides when I'm with Stefan. *heart*

Happy Halloween everyone! XD

Anyways, so, yesterday, I wake up at 5:40, like usual. I check class cancellations, and, omg, my first class, western civ is cancelled! Yay! So, I decided that I would need to get up at 9:30 to get the 10:21 train that would get me to school on time for my 11:30 class. That meant, an extra 3 hours of sleep! Only problem was, it took me almost an hour to fall back asleep. And when I finally did, I had nightmares that I had arrived late to class cause I missed the train/bus. In reality though, I didn’t miss anything and got to class on time.

After the movie was finished in my anthro class, I headed to my locker to drop off my books and took a bus to the B-d-B train station. While I waited 20 minutes for the train, I read Naruto. My fingers were freezing by the time the train arrived.

Also, last night, I decided that I wanted to try something out this morning. Usually, I wake up at 5:40 and take the 6:39 train even when I have 8:30 classes. Today, I wanted to see if I would have time to get to my class if I took the 7:24 train which would give me almost an hour extra of sleep. So, that’s what I did this morning. Although, at 5:40, my iPod alarm went off since I forgot to change it. I jumped out of bed and finally realized what was making that sound. It took me about 20 minutes to fall back asleep. Anywho, the 17 bus was PACKED this morning. One guy even had to stand up. The 17 bus at 6:20 is like empty. I even had to stand in the train this morning because it was so packed. Whatever, I got to school on time and got an extra hour of sleep. All is good. I think that’s what I’ll do on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays when I have 8:30 classes. On Mondays and Thursdays, I’ll wake up at the usual 5:40 since those classes start at 8.

I had economics first. Fun, fun. NOT. As soon as class ended, I headed back to N and dropped off my books. Before meeting up with Kelly in K, I went to the bathroom. Well, for the past three or four days, I haven’t been feeling well and I didn’t know why. Now I know why. I had a nice little surprise waiting for me in the bathroom, if you know what I mean. ;)

My goodness, a lot of Kelly’s friends by the K lockers had dressed up and this one guy, Nathan.. well.. his costume was freakin’ hilarious. At about 10:25, Kelly and I headed off to her class. On the way, we picked up candy and these pumpkin stress balls:

      

Anywho, as we’re on our way to the class, we pass Alli who is in Kelly’s class walking in the opposite direction. Kelly asks her where she’s going and she tells us that class was cancelled. Kelly asked why and Alli said that the teacher needed to go to the hospital. O_O What? Kelly and I head up to the class and the teacher is standing in the doorway of the classroom. I just want to mention, he’s also my teacher for anthro so I was concerned. As Kelly gave him an assignment that was due today, she asked him what was wrong. Apparently, he lost sight in one eye and he doesn’t know what’s happening. I’d be so scared if I suddenly couldn’t see in one eye.

So, Kelly and I waited for Sandra to arrive and then we just hung out in the empty classroom. We talked and played hangman. Around 12, Kelly and I headed down to the caf. I bought spaghetti and garlic bread and Kelly just bought garlic bread. Before buying lunch, we found Steph and told her where we were eating lunch. Then, on the way back to the classroom, we bumped into Jes and she joined us on the way up. We continued to play hangman till the end of break.

My last class was pretty easy. We just handed in our homework at the beginning. Then, the teacher made us do a quick assignment after that. She gave us all papers and asked us to answer a question that she wrote on the board: how are you doing so far? She told us it didn’t necessarily mean how we’re doing in the class, or even in school, but could be in life in general. Wow, no teacher has every asked me that question before. Makes you think.

As soon as class was over, I headed straight outside to the bus stop. When I got out my iPod, it wouldn’t turn on!! O_O I tried resetting it but that didn’t work. I was a little pissed off. Whatever. I took the metro and two buses home. On the 9 bus, I began reading Naruto 13 and could not stop reading. I ended up finishing the whole manga about 5 minutes into the 22 bus ride. Yup, yup.

I beat my dad home. :D As soon as I got home, I tried opening this container with drugs that I could take. But, Lindsay couldn’t open them! I remember sometime last year when I had my period that one night I woke up and tried opening it up. I couldn’t so I had to get my mom to open it and it even took her awhile. Ya, so, today, I tried opening it for about 10 minutes and couldn’t. Grr…

Ya, I gave up. Damn it. So, my dad got home about 30 minutes later. I instantly gave him the container to open. He did it with one try. O_O My dad’s amazing. I asked him if he had another contained I could use and he did. Thank goodness. Anywho, I told him that Doug was going to be around at Nick and Laura’s house till 7 for us to bring the movies back. So, my dad and I left and headed, through the traffic, to their house.

When we got there, Doug wasn’t actually there! So, we chatted with Laura and Nick and everyone else that was there. About 15 minutes later, Doug arrived. He brought along with him, about 10 bags full of candy. O_O Woah. So, my dad and I ended up chatting with Doug for almost two hours while Laura, Nick, Shawn, cute little Steph, and a bunch of other people went out trick-or-treating. Lol, sometime during the night, a firetruck was passing by and I got this cool picture (in my opinion):

You know what else? I ended up getting candy from Doug.. and I wasn’t even dressed up for Halloween. Although, if anybody asks, I was dressed as a muggle. XD Oh yay, that’s right, a muggle! XD

P.S. NaNoWriMo has officially started! I write this on November 1st, 12:13am. :D I shall start writing tomorrow on the train ride. Can't wait!

Anyways, class finally ended. My geo class was “cancelled” in that we had to go watch the presentation in the auditorium about climate change (which is the topic we’re talking about now in geo). I only had to go down 2 floors to the auditorium. As I entered the area, I heard Sandra calling my name. Jessica was there as well. We started talking and then these two people, one of which Sandra knew, so we started talking to them for awhile. Soon after, Jessica and the two other people left for their classes. Sandra and I then got closer to the doors while we waited for Kelly. Finally, Kelly showed up. She had class in N so she’s usually always late to geo class.

We all then walked inside and found seats. So, for the next hour and a half, I took notes about climate change (or as the presentation was called: Friday’s Footprints and the Triple Planets of Doom). What a title, eh? As soon as the presentation ended, I had to quickly head to N for my last class, French.

Hmm… oh yes, French! Gah! My teacher took the whole class explaining about an oral we would have to do in about three weeks! I don’t wanna do an oral!! I haven’t done one in like three years! And I absolutely hated, hated, hated, doing French orals and I thought I had finally finished with those. But no!!! *cries* And, and! We’re not allowed any notecards or anything. Just a plan (or outline) of the oral which we have to hand in to the teacher. *cries more* I don’t wanna! I don’t wanna!

Anyways, as soon as French ended, I dropped my books off and quickly headed to the bus stop. As we were heading towards the train station, I saw the train leaving. I knew I wouldn’t make it. So, instead, I took the metro and two buses home like usual.

Hmm… I don’t think anything too exciting happened that evening.. Oh! After I ate lunch, around 3, I decided to take a nap cause I was tired. I told myself I would only take a 20 minute nap. Ya right! Turned out to be close to 4 hours! Hehehehe. I got up around 7, right in time for my tv show! Lol.

Friday, today, I got to sleep in! XD I ended up only getting something like 2 extra hours of sleep, but it’s still two hours! I got up at 7:25 and left by 7:55. The 17 bus was supposed to arrive at 8:12 and the train passes at 8:25. Within a minute of getting to the bus stop, the 22 bus arrived! Instead of waiting in the cold for another 10 minutes, I took the 22. I knew it would stop at the train station, so why not? I did of course have to wait at the station for like 20 minutes but oh well.

I had 30 minutes before my first class, economics. Once again, the class was boring. We talked more about GDP. She also gave examples in which we had to calculate nominal and real GDP, the GDP deflator, inflation, and growth. Uber-easy pour moi. That’s all we did all class. We just worked on examples. Fun, fun.

After class, I dropped off my economics book and headed to anthro class. The teacher handed back our mid-terms from last Friday. This girl I sit beside and talk to asked me what he was handing out. I told her it was the mid-terms. Turns out, she had skipped last class and it had totally slipped her mind about the mid-term! Oops. Anyways, I got 27/30 which is exactly 90%. Yay! I’m happy! I think that’s my best mid-term so far!

As soon as class ended, I headed directly to the bus stop. When we were getting close to the train station, I couldn’t see whether the train had passed or not. The train leaves at 1:07 and we got there around 1:09 so I didn’t even bother trying. Like yesterday, I took the metro and two buses. I ate lunch as soon as I got home.

So, around 3:30 or something, my dad left for Canadian Tire. I’m checking my email and such when I suddenly hear the doorbell. At first, I was like, who the heck can that be? But then I thought it was Doug, although I thought he was gonna call before showing up! And it was Doug with a big care package for Lindsay. Plus, he gave me his birthday present.. a new digital camera!! And it’s soooo small! Compared to my old one which is huuuge! Plus, he also got me a 4GB memory card. O_O That’s right, 4GB. *dies* My memory card for my last camera was 256MB. Wow, it seems so small compared to 4GB!

Doug and I talked while I rummaged through everything in the box: magazines, Pop-Tarts (a flavor that can only be found in the States!), movies I had requested (which I have to finish by Wednesday)… oh! And my mom had got me this really pretty Pirates mug. Although, I don’t think I’ll ever use it cause it’s so big and ornately decorated. Ya. About 20 minutes later, my dad got back home. Talked some more.. especially on one specific topic.. *cough* A bit after 5, Doug left.

My dad and I then went out to Belle Province and we had hot dogs and fries. Yummy! When I got home, I finished checking my email. Before I headed downstairs to watch my three tv shows tonight, I popped in a movie (The Covenant) into my DVD drive. I wanted to copy it to my iPod and since it takes about three hours to do in total, I thought, why not do it while I’m away watching tv? I’m so smart sometimes! XD

This weekend, my dad and I are going to have to watch: Night at the Museum, Date Movie, 1408, and Perfect Stranger. Plus, I got an extra copy of Carrie. Doug already had the movie and so did my mom and then Doug went and got that movie so I got to keep it! Although, I highly doubt I’ll watch the movie. Seems scary…

I think that’s all for now! Have a great weekend everyone!

P.S. Less than a week till NaNo, eek!!

Doug: I got your pics and video. Um, thanks a lot for tantalising me in the video. My mouth was watering with the chocolate. Ya. And do take pics when you go to Disney! Shouldn't you be coming up to Canada soon? You usually go around the end of September/early October. And I would like to stress to you that Shawn and I are just locker friends, c'est tout. I do NOT like him anymore than a friend. Got it? Good. Yes, I heard my mom was cooking. She called me this afternoon and she told me. She also told me she doesn't know where my remote controller for my DVR is. She says she hasn't seen it since I moved but I think she lost it. Have you seen it?? Do I even want to know what's going on with Justin? First cigarettes and now beer? Hmmm.....

Didn't do much today. When my dad got home from work, we went out and did groceries. Guess what Lindsay got? Apples. Yes, Doug, you read that right, apples. I believe apples is a fruit! O_O Since I've been sooo tired in class these past weeks, I decided to buy some apples. If you didn't know, it's proven that apples do a better job at waking you up than coffee does. So, Lindsay will bring an apple to school tomorrow and eat it in the morning sometime. Yup yup.

Off to watch the rest of Alexander. I watched most of the movie last night but I got too tired. I think I have like an hour left or so. Then, off to bed Lindsay goes. *sigh* I have to get up at 5:30 tomorrow morning. *another sigh*

~Lindsay

I just added some more albums: Homecoming 2006, Prom 2007, NaNoWriMo (sub-albums including both Heirs of Atlantis and Innocence and Desire). Gonna add my New York trip photos tomorrow! :D Up to 320 images now! *is giddy*

Anywho, last night, I read more HP3. Then I played games on my palmpilot. I started playing minesweeper and finished playing at 2am. Ya. So, I slept in till 12 today. I was tired. Ate lunch while watching tv. Got dressed. Then my dad and I went to Carrefour Laval. Went back home. I went on my computer. Went out for supper at Belle Province (yummy! 2 hot dogs! XD). Got home. Watched some more tv. Then I began adding the albums to my photo gallery. Read HP3 while pics uploaded. I still have about 40 pages left to read and it's already 12:15. Hmm, perhaps I'll finish reading the book tonight...

Doug: I am planning on getting out of my Hobbit Hole soon. I'm planning on going to see the 5th HP movie with my buddies! XD I am planning on getting a job, but not in the *near* future. Maybe at the end of July or something. No, we didn't make it to the train station. I'm gonna have a "dry run" on August 10 when I have college prep day at Vanier at 9:45am. I shall be picking my courses in August with the other new students. No, I haven't driven anywhere since I moved down. My dad hasn't added me yet to his insurance plan for the car. Hopefully, I won't forget any "skills"! Loved your little joke about the full moon and my mom. Lol. Yes, Canada Day tomorrow! XD I shall wear a Canadian shirt and wave my little flag around proudly. XD And I'll try to visit Sarah some time this week! Do you know EXACTLY when she works? XD
